b u n says more than 300000 children are severely malnourished in somalia. the nation faces it's worse drives in 40 years. we're going to beginning ukraine where people are waking up to another day of devastation from further russian bombardment. the capital key is under curfew after a number of people were killed in an attack on a shopping and residential area. on monday, it's nearly a month into the war when ukraine's president says he's ready to compromise, to bring an end to the blood shades blood of his lensky says keith is willing to drop its nato membership request in exchange for the withdrawal of russian forces. or let's go straight to a non con, who's in the capital m, ron b people off. keep waking up to get another the curfew this time a very long one. that's up. see right. this latest curfew was 35 hours long or about a 3rd of the way

a through it ends on wednesday morning at 7 am the any cause out in the streets are security vehicles along the street here the main thoroughfare in essential cave. we've been seeing. ugh, patrols go by. people are in military uniform, but in civilian cars because they're part of the territorial defense force, a volunteer force patrolling the street from you to see one. in fact, they go just behind me. now the reason for the curfew may well be a few different things. ukrainian authorities haven't confirmed exactly what it may be of the deputy mer said it may be to do away. he said actually that this was a chance, odd term for emergency services to really try and get a handle on the dairies. it's been done in various bombings that have taken place in the last 8 or 9 days. ah, we did hear that this may be a chance for ukrainian security forces to hit the streets and to go looking for

russian saboteurs that may well still be in the city. now this all comes after one of the deadliest attacks that took place in at the north of ukraine, against a residential block and a shopping mall where 8 people died. ah, now the russians say that that shopping mall was actually being used to house rockets. and that's why they attacked it, but there's been no evidence given of that other than a video that they say is the attack. but that has no timestamp on it. now we're also hearing are that are a town close to the apple to boris full. i'm the may of that town is asking his citizens to evacuate, because he says the russians are preparing for an advance into that city. he's made a play both on social media on most of the platforms that the the may use is saying he'd like to get his civilians out because he thinks and of i, i attack his coming fairly soon. now that tallies with what we're seeing in butcher, in a pin and in hostile,

but actually what we're also seeing is ukrainian force is pushed back. russian forces in those towns. they're about 15 kilometers from where i stand at the moment and there is a counter offensive by the russians to try and push them back. busy it does seem to work in our, according to most experts, certainly british intelligence been very vocal about this they bit and they're saying that the russian advance air has actually still particularly into the capital here. but what that does mean is the russians, and we've seen evidence of this in a small way over the last couple of days. the russians will be using oh, air stripes, more cruise missiles and artillery and rocket shelling, rather than trying to send people in. and we've seen evidence of that certainly in last few days here in cave and in the north of the city, among khan and the running capital in man. thank you. origin cords, find kremlin critic alex in of on a guilty of fraud. he is accused of embezzling funds from his anti corruption foundation, which has been banned. the opposition figure says the charges are politically

and you're simply not true. i guarantee you are also suggesting that ukraine has biological and chemical weapons in ukraine. that's a clear sign he's considering using both of those. he's already used chemical weapons in the past, and we should be careful about to was about to come. he knows will be severe consequences because of the united nato front. but the point is, it's real. the u. s. presidents also warrior of cyber attacks from russia in retaliation for sanctions imposed a moscow. our white house correspondent, every falcon reports the strain and relations could put other u. s. policy objectives at risk is certainly strong rhetoric on the part of the united states. what russia alleges that there has been kind of a tit for tat in that rhetoric. and also saying that on the part of the united states, when joe biden called vladimir putin a war criminal,

the initial reaction was that if this was an unacceptable unforgivable rhetoric on the part of a head of a state whose bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world, so their argument is, is that the united states really is in no position has no moral high ground. the united states, on the other hand, is accusing war crimes. given the fact that it alleges that it is civilians that are being targeted. so of course, this has legal implications and the u. s. is doubled down on this, these u. s. secretary of state entities blinking, also citing examples of why they believe brushes been in your crimes naming vladimir putin specifically. and the reason this could complicate matters is not only the negotiations that are ongoing with respect to this conflict between russia and ukraine. but also the united states has been working with russia in order to try and revive that 2015 agreement to limit ron's nuclear program. also known as the j c p, away. and so this is another reason why this has great concern. the fact that the u

. s. ambassador has been summoned in russia and the fact that ties are not only strained but have, as the potential to be severed, completely could put a number of us policy objectives at risk. rushes told us from boston to moscow. diplomatic relations are on the verge of being severed. it follows president joe barnes comments last week when he called russia's president vladimir putin, a war criminals, national hub, bought a house more from moscow. first of all, the states miss my president biden widely seen here as very critical of russian conduct during the mr campaign in ukraine and targeting. also president, let him and putting number 2 of the russians are saying that the americans are not doing the necessary to pull more pressure or ukraine to come to terms with a comprehensive political agreement that will be conducive to a cease fire. and. and then to the military operation, number 3, they saying that the americans, along with and they to have never been genuine about the need to address the

concerns of russia, which has been saying for more than 2 decades. that the expansion of nato s. eastwards is a threat to rushes in national security. and this explains, for example, that saga lover of the russian foreign minister, 2 days ago said that it is absolutely no illusion among the russians that they can ever rely on the americans in the future. as that, the russians, we never tolerate a world order dominated by the us because they say that if you look at what is happening in the region, the can connect the dots. they say that the i barrack is along with me to have been working for quite some time to under my rushes are regional and global war by moving forward with, with, with nato expansion. and this boy is boiling down now to, to this a rift that threatens to further undermine the relations between the 2 key global players. because ultimately, in a deal about ukraine, we have to have both key players, the russians, and the american,

and the americans on the same page. that of the road cross is heading to moscow after a 5 day trip to ukraine. peter morrow says he'll raise several issues with russian officials, including prisoners of war and the conduct of hostilities. moderate says the red cross stands ready to bring humanitarian assistance to mario, paul repeated attempts to safely get aid into the besieged. city have failed. well, for the vote to be safe, it will need agreements by the parties. it will be need concrete agreement. some details off pauses or at least security guarantees for convoys and human italian workers. it will need a decontamination of the roads because these routes are heavily impacted by unexploded or he ordinances by mines. let me onto some other world. news now shall anchors parliament due to vote and changes to its controversial security law. the

measure called the prevention of terrorism act was imposing 1979. it allowed security forces to detain suspects without a trial. and legislation also allows for convictions based only on confessions. critics say it's been used to stifle dissent and crush opposition, and fernandez has more from colombo. the government says that p t had tries would have to be conducted on a day to day basis. substances of li, a speeding up. the progression of such draws out that has obviously been a problem at present, that there are cases where suspects have been languishing in detention or, and remind prison for over 10 years. still hoping and waiting that their cases be heard. now the government says that there are other safeguards that have been brought in, that the suspect must be produced between before a magistrate within 48 hours. that by introducing the element of sort of judiciary supervision. 5 for such aspects that the magistrate must also ensure that such

suspects are visited at least once a month. now, the foreign minister said that this would allow our sort of an oversight into cases of potential torture, minimize abuse. but critic said this is not the case that the changes are largely cosmetic, that they don't do much and don't really change the fundamental factors of the problematic areas of the prevention of terrorism act. they say that both aspects can be held for up to 12 months under detention orders. they also said that even if the magistrate visit suspects, they cannot really have the jurisdiction or power to change the place of this detention. so there are issues. yes, there has been a change in the law, but there are those who say it hasn't gone far enough. in the philippines president rodrigo to territories parties endorse the presidential bit of bong marcus is the song of family to ferdinand beckles whose ousted in 1086 revolution opinion polls
