1:04 pm
on good. many children here need help, but humanitarian asians who say they have less than 3 percent of the money they need any help is too late for how to data is acts daughter and her 4 grandchildren, who she says, all died on the way here was one way the children died while we were walking. we did not have any kind of transport. if only we had transport, they would have survived. we could not get food or water, so they could not walk. that's why they died. nobody's even counted how many malnourished children of already died. the next rains driven april help is needed now. well, let's cross lie to malcolm. now he's in the capital market issue, and malcolm, your report tells a harrowing story. it is a desperate, desperate situation. that's right,
1:05 pm
and those rains that are meant to come in april, the long term weather forecasters say that at best though we average in it worse though we completely inadequate. so a lot of people in the humanitarian community say that this situation could still get a lot worse with me is angela kearney, who's the country director of the u. n. childrens friend in somalia. just how grave is this situation for the display children? it's a really severe situation. the drought is here, but already we had several children who are mountainous millions of every 1400000 children are already under new, nourished and of those probably about 360000 will become acutely malnourished. and we're, so we really worried about interest and this is absolutely a nutrition crisis for children. and it's also water scale to the crisis. as you said, the rains hadn't come. so we really worried that we need to get to the children as quickly as possible. you know, we do head some miracle miracle at kind of the,
1:06 pm
the fortified pay not past that. you see almost like a peanut bus and going into these children's mouths and the in the session. if we can get this into the children very, very early, then we can stop them going from moderate mound nutrition, and to severe malnutrition where they need hospital. we know from some of the people have you spoken to the displaced people that some children have already died? why is it that nobody in the government or the humanitarian community is able to, to give a number for this year? we, we know that some of the children probably 3 and a half 1000 at least, had got measles very recently in the last 2 months. and we know that children are under no rest with a shock like measles, or shot like pneumonia or diarrhea. i'm much more likely to get very sick and die. so right now we don't have the absolute number, but we know that children will be dying of measles as we speak in the preventable disease, but fact things. so he started on saturday, a huge vaccine campaign. he with the government and that patent
1:07 pm
w. right. so in the indian, we've got to get those vixen centered children's arms very, very quickly to stop any more missiles and humanitarian organizations say that they have just 3 percent of the funds needed to be able to provide the help that people need was the world being so slow to respond, it's when thank you, we need to get the, the message out. but there's been recurring droughts and somalia and we need to know this was really a climate change problem here. that people who left and the previous droughts of 2016 and 17, many of the musto displaced and the forests have gone in many places. so when we're now digging bull holes, what's uni safe is doing, we're having to go deeper and deeper to find the water table as well as we're having to track water for light saving. and it's further than we had to track 5 years ago. so the situation is getting more and more desperate as this, the people's livestock had died. so that going to move to where this water with is
1:08 pm
nutrition support with this shelter and where they feel i'm more protected. so that's what we're up against and it has very hobbies, many cont, competing agendas. but we need to make sure that these children have a right to a nutrition, and they have a right to health, and they have a right education where ever they are in the world. so we're just saying, please help us. you know, we're only 3 percent funded and we did the name based on what we knew at that time . the needs may be even more now. it's clear that people really need emergency support now, but given the climate, as you said, is indeed changing, or is there a plan for these people in what could be a much dryer future? yeah, i think that's the thing that we need to work with government on how you you've been going, you went out to the i d. p. kents in mogadishu and not getting closer and closer to the main city. and of course there needs to be city plans to manage it. are we working on that? but we need to have resilience stuff. you know that the,
1:09 pm
the adolescence weren't out there in the dry places without the livestock, unless they have a livelihood least they can work. even if it's just for daily wages. we need to make sure that we get these children, this edit lessons, but also in it the girls of the ones who hit the burden of walking along white to get the water. whether it's a water trap, it, we during is an emergency or whether it's, you know, going down to a bo hold it with having to fix. when we put the bull holds them after the last drought, we didn't expect to have so many people using them. and so we got to do repair and maintenance as well. and it's often the gills to hit the biggest burden on gathering water. thank you. that was angela kearney, the country director of the u. n. children's fund here in somalia, clearly some urgent needs for emergency health, as well as some massive long term challenges as well. back to unit an urgent need a deeply troubling situation than welcome thanks very much

1:11 pm
also those of the areas of boucher out a pin and asked them all which are face face fighting either the effect of the front lines of those issues of the front lines of the of cave or any about 15 kilometers from where i stands has been another nervous night and other nervous date. ah, for the residence hall of the capitol, like you said the curfew is in place. it lost a 35 hours. we're coming up to about halfway through now the curfew will be lifted on wednesday. at 7 am to take a look at the street behind me. the only vehicles that you see are the territorial defense for vehicles, their civilian vehicles, with a volunteer soldiers inside and they seem to be patrolling the streets. there might be a number of reasons, a full that the deputy may suggest that it's because of the shelling they need to take a look at a getting p, i getting emergency aden repairs into those areas. others are actually suggesting
1:12 pm
that there's an a security operation underway in the city to find russian saboteurs ourselves of russian operatives who have been all who have been working in at the city and attacking the ukrainian targets. this isn't the 1st time we've seen a curfew. there was a curfew last week as well. that last had the same amount of time. 35 hours. however, there is some worrying news coming through from boorish ball, which is near cave international airport. it's a small town outside of the apple the met, as asked the citizens of ah, that little town to leave to evacuate. because he says the russians are coming, and the ukrainian defense forces need a clay into that city to be able to defend it. so he's asking his citizens to leave around, thinks about to leave left for the time being a marine con there in the capital. a keep let sat move to the west, the country to robert bride and who study by their rob gibson overview of the situation as you see it from living.
1:13 pm
i mean, the focus still seems to be as it has been for a number of days. now this situation a matter you poll this important at port city down in the south, it is the scene of this increasing the grim struggle between russian forces who seemingly determined to take it at any cost. and regardless of what that city is going to look like, if, when they do take it and it equally determined, ukrainian defenders wanting to deny them the city, the latest reports, an agency pictures show that out this deteriorating situation of the population still basically trying to exist amid all of this of bodies, more bodies not lying in the streets of sometimes bodies being buried a shallow graves close to apartment blocks presumably a full, a formal re burial later of local people, chopping down trees for firewood, a makeshift stove, that doors it is all a very grim situation,
1:14 pm
you've got to remember that this was until just a few weeks ago, a thriving city of 430000 people is now reckoned that there around 300000 people still in the city. in increasing the desperate situation. 8 is over. 24 hours since this deadline by the russians for ukrainian forces to surrender their weapons expired with no sign that the defend isn't going to give up me. well, we've been seeing from chechen president kid did off. he is a staunch supporter of president putin. a video put out by his people purportedly showing chechen fighters who been fighting alongside the russian troops close to the center of matter. you, paul, that he says will soon be in control of the city. at which point, according to clear of those troops, will restore security and order. well, if that is the case, they will be restoring that over what is effectively
1:15 pm
a ruin smoking ruin which according to the re ukrainians. it is the russians alongside the chechens who have been responsible for creative and all the while robert president lensky says that he is ready to compromise in a bid to bring an end to the bloodshed. are there any negotiations actually taking place? where are we still here? keep hearing about talk, sir, about talks with the we've here heard about these concessions are busy lensky that he would be willing to give up, are pursuing nato membership. now, he has intimated that before and that would be seemingly and if a relatively easy concession for him to make and that would certainly go a long way. it seems as one of the a central demands of the russians. he, he's also mentioned about, for example, making russian and official language in a part sir of the country. but, you know, the thorny issue comes to the, the question of territory, the territory that russia has seized in this invasion
1:16 pm
a how can a ukrainian government except that what is effectively been a land grab so that that is going to be a lot harder to try to come to any kind of deal with the 2 sides, according to presidential as spokesman from zelinski office, the 2 sides are in constant or talks we, we hear even online, going back and forth on line. so there is communication going on according to zillow. lensky is office, they are trying to work out details about what would be in what they call a road map on the substantial stem stant of issues, which would be there, which might ultimately lead to some sort of meeting to improve in and zalinski. but it all does sound as though it is a long way off. and of course in the meantime that the fighting continues. and if i probably will have mon, thanks very much for that. and robert bride reporting from la viv. well, in the house on, russian forces have fired tear gas and mourning shots to disperse protests. as

1:22 pm
even if his sentence for it. because he says that the mere putin himself won't be in power for that long amal, that has been posted for instagram is an indication of how difficult it is for anybody to hear anything about alex in about these days in russia. instagram has recently been blocked. so one final channel that no my only had the guest is message out is closed off. there is really oh no other vocal opposition to vladimir putin in russia. vladimir a lax in the valley was the last worn and he has been jailed because of that. and if he goes away now for another 13 years, you're very, it's going to be very, very hard to hear anything more of alexi na valley. in fact, here in russia state media isn't really isn't carrying this story anyway. so russians who get most of the news from state television are not going to hear the latest that is happening to alexey navarro. he is effectively silenced, or a burden place for her to have bernard smith reporting there from moscow. the ceo

1:26 pm
prison for over 10 years. still hoping and waiting that their cases be. 6 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 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
1:27 pm
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. are to let her now, deserves mexico veils it's brand new airports, but behind closed doors has been a bumpy ride to get it up and running. unprecedented temperatures are recorded as heat waves hit some of the coldest places on and in sport. find out what this was all about between on james with with it's a stellar stretch of weather for many across europe. hello everyone. there are a few exceptions. so let's dive into those details right now. that includes for

1:29 pm
coast of madagascar, we've got some heavy pockets of rain just outside of the capital and 10 and a repo on tuesday. that should weather up, they will soon take care. ah, a tens of thousands of children born into old lives under the icicle regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps either orphans or with the widowed mother, rejected by their own communities. she could do things like people are going to welcome them after that. of course, mom and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera. i care about how the u. s. engages with the rest of the world. i cover foreign poles, the natural purity. this is very much a political impact here. the policy like how do we'll upgrade it? are we telling a good story? will people get what we're trying to do here?
1:30 pm
living outside and make this is not the way any family wants to raise their children. we're really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise. and to actually feel as if you were there, lou. ah and again you're watching out 0. 1 of our top stories is are at the un says more than $300000.00 children in somalia are severely malnourished. it is the worst drought there in 40 years. more than half a 1000000 farmers and herds have lost their crops, and animals. ukraine's president is again calling for direct tours with a russian president to try and end the war for domains. lensky says keith is
1:31 pm
willing to drop its nato membership request in exchange for the withdrawal of russian forces. the court in russia has found criminal critic electing around the guilty of fraud and contempt court accuses embezzling funds from his band. anti corruption foundation. opposition figures says the charges are politically motivated, rushing quarter's band social media platforms, facebook and instagram off to calling their parent company better and extremist organization. as after the firm relax its rules on calls for violence against russian soldiers matter says it's made allowances for political expression in light of the war in ukraine. the president is warning russia could resort to using chemical weapons in ukraine. joe biden didn't provide any evidence, but said vladimir putin could escalate the violence since he still faces resistance from ukrainian forces. he's back is against the law and he's now he's talking about
1:32 pm
new false lives. he said, you know, including, he says and asserting that we'd, america, biological, as well as chemical weapons, 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 2 was about to come. he knows will be severe consequences because of the united nato front, but the point is, it's real. so what is a chemical weapon is defined as any toxic material that can cause death or home to humans or animals. and that includes its components and the weapons that released. there are 4 kinds of chemical agents and they're absorbed through the skin and lungs. they can suffocate people in animals and attack parts of the body, including the skin, eyes, blood,
1:33 pm
and nervous systems rush was always denied having chemical weapons which have been banned under international law for nearly a century that it has long been suspected of using them against critics a russia's allies, syria, use them against its own people in its civil war. all right, let's bring into rich the ga, 3 involved in the united kingdom. he's a chemical and biological weapons expert at mr. guthrie festival. it. let's make it clear what we're actually talking about here. if russia was to deploy chemical weapons, what would they be? how would they be deployed? and what would their effect was? he looked at what has happened in the more recent past say in syria, but also the allegations that were made. but whenever shown to be proven in chechnya, these aren't likely to be the classical battlefield weapons over a large area of the syria pattern of recent years. was to use as a toxic material such as chlorine easily available for industrial processes and for
1:34 pm
things like water, sanitation, or these are very effective against an unprotected civilian population. and it creates terror. and that was the purpose of using them in syria by the syrian. i'm forces them. why? when russia do the 3 other banks really against more that much, i couldn't majors mobilize the might very, the air force across the granting defenses or how would it enable them to, to reach victory. i think they, if they were to be used, it would be to be used as a weapon of terror. um, i wouldn't claim expertise on the russian armed forces, but i think it's clear to see from what has been the media reporting that the russian of fonts is how stalled. people are hiding away in places like sellers. and the, the defense of ukraine is very reliant on there being high levels of morale in the civilian population, supporting the military to defend the territory. i would suspect the use of
1:35 pm
chemical weapons if they were to be used to be designed to sap the morale of the defenders. and once your reading of what president biden has been saying it, when he says that putin knows that there will be severe consequences because of the united nato front, as should he deploy chemical weapons. or what do you think those consequences might be? that's hard to say, and i think that the americans are not being for explicit deliberately. it would be a very troubling situation if chemical weapons were used in a conflict like this, they use of these weapons have been prohibited under international law for nearly a century. but the possession has only been prohibited for about quarter century, and there has been a huge effort to destroy. ready the stop pulse superpower had, and some other countries as well. oh, be an international instrument, like the chemical weapons convention, is one of the cause of the core elements of the international system of rules and
1:36 pm
regulations that dictate how countries interact with each other. if russia were to use chemical weapons, it would really, really undermine the whole legal basis of how international relations is carried out at the moment. and that would be extremely concerning. yes, because rutter is a signatory to that convention as net. but does russia have a, a kind of standing arsenal of chemical and biological weapons? it, russia has destroyed all that it declared under the chemical weapons convention. and in fact, its destruction was supposed to happen in 2017. it didn't happen till 10 years later. and the ceremony for the destruction of the last declared chemical weapon was actually attended remotely by vladimir putin himself. but of course, the situations means the poisonings all. so again, newly scruple and of alexi, now valley as raised questions, there is a residual capacity that russia has maintained. that's very hard to establish from the outside using open sources. but the,
1:37 pm
the evidence is very compelling. that at least for a small scale use of chemical materials as assassination weapons, the russians have maintained the capability. i really got really great, get your expertise on that. so do appreciate that. thanks very much. indeed. again, what russia has told the youth ambassador to moscow diplomatic relations are on the verge being severed. it follows president j biden's comments last week when he called russia's president vladimir putin, a war criminal ashley. albert has morner from mosque. first of all, the states miss my president biden, why the scene here is very critical of russian conduct during the mr campaign in ukraine and targeting. also president let him putting number 2. the russians are saying that the americans are not doing the necessary to put 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,
1:38 pm
