. any help is too late for had a data is acts daughter and her 4 grandchildren, who she says, all died on the way here. one family, 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 of june, april help, is needed now. malcolm web, al, jazeera, southern somalia, under the kidneys, the unicef representative in somalia, she says the severe drug as probably even more children at risk of money attrition . 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 norris. and of those probably about $360000.00 will become acutely malnourished. and so we really worried about the interest, and this is absolutely a nutrition crisis for children. and it's also water scale to the crisis. the reins hadn't come. so we really worried that we need to get to the children as quickly as possible. you know, we do have some miracle miracle at kind of the, the fortified peanut pace that you see almost like a peanut bus and going into these children's mouths. and in the says, say, if we can get this into the children very, very early, then we can stop them going from moderate malnutrition and to severe malnutrition where they need hospital. some of the children, probably 3 and a half 1000, at least, had got missiles very recently in the last 2 months. and we know that children are undernourished with a sock, like measles, or salt like pneumonia or diarrhea. they're 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 missiles. that's the preventable disease with vaccines. so we started on saturday, a huge vaccine campaign. he with the government and that partners like w h o in the india is. we've got to get those vaccines into children's arms very, very quickly to stop any more measles people in ukraine are facing another day of devastation from russian bombardments the capital key was under curfew after a number of people were killed in an attack on a shopping and residential area on monday, externally among came to the war when ukraine's president says he's ready to compromise to bring an end to the bloodshed, a lot of military lensky. he says keith is wanting to drop its plans to join nato in exchange for the withdrawal of russian troops. american has more on the situation in the capital cave is had air raid sirens coming from the north of the city. and we've been hearing our loud explosions take place. possibly out going.

and he, at croft antibiotic hillary fire probably incoming a file. also those are the areas of boucher at a pin and asked them all which are face face fighting either the effect of the front lines or those issues of the front lines of the of keep are in about 15 kilometers from where i stands has been another nervous night and other nervous day are full. the residence of the cap, the curfew is in place. it lost 35 hours. we're coming up to about half way 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 volunteer soldiers inside and they seem to be patrolling the streets. there might be a number of reasons or full that the deputy may, i 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 or others are actually suggesting

that there's an a security operation underway in the city to find russian saboteurs . again, that's bringing rob mcbride in las vegas, which is in the west of ukraine towards the border with poland. so that was the situation in chief that iran was talking about. just talk us through what's happening in the rest of ukraine. yeah, i mean the can fighting continues on a number of different fronts that all around the country. some of the most intense fighting those still down in the south, especially around they say essential port, city of matter. you, paul, which remains the scene of this bitter struggle between brushing forces, who seem to be determined that any cost to take this city regardless of what the city will look like. should that happen on the other side, of course ukrainians who are determined to deny it to them. and in the middle we seal still see this deteriorating humanitarian situation,

latest reports reach against somebody who paul and they just agency pictures really just to give a sense of the same deteriorating conditions of more bodies lying in the streets of people chopping down trees to use as firewood have make shift stoves being used at doors by, by the citizens that you, you've got to remember. this was a city just a few weeks ago, a thriving city of 430000 people. it's reckoned that there are still 300000 people inside this city and increasingly, a pulling conditions i deadline for that was given by the russians for the defenders, for the ukrainian soldiers and fighters to give up their arms. that was more than 24 hours ago. that has come and gone, they seem to show no signs of giving up be well, we've heard from the chechen president today. ralph, who is a staunch ally of to 10 who has put out video purportedly showing his chechen fighters, who have been fighting alongside the russians in the city,

that he says are making good bounces are close to the center of the city are close . he says to taking control, at which point he declares that they will restore security and order. that may well be the case, but it will be over what these effectively a smoking ruin which according to the craniums it is the russians and their chechen allies who will be solely responsible for having created and rob alongside that. of course there has to long going to discussions some negotiations. president zalinski is saying that he's willing to make some compromises if it moves stuff forward. well, what's happening with all of that with we keep on hearing, there are indeed talks about talks. there is dialogue going back and forth. we've just heard from the kremlin, for example, that apparently they have put forward their proposals to the ukrainian side, the details of which they are are not revealing. but they said they've had feedback

to some or not to others. from their lensky side. we know that he is, he said he's willing to make compromises. for example, on joining the nato alliance, which he says that ukraine is willing not to pursue. he is intimated that before, that seems to be a fairly easy concession for him to make. he can easily make other concessions. for example, a recognizing russian or as a, an official language in parts of ukraine. it's when it comes to this territory or 2 at bo, give up territory in ukraine. that is the really sorely issue and is going to be very difficult to overcome for ukraine to effectively give in to what they see as a russian land grab. so that's a where we're going to see problems at, you know, the are, there's another presidential adviser from zelinski is office who says that the 2 sides are in constant dialogue back and forth online, which is all, it sounds positive, but it is all towards coming up with some kind of road map of road map about substantive issues that the 2 sides might talk about. that might eventually lead

maybe to some sort of meeting between the putin and zalinski themselves. or which it does as make it sound as though that is still a long way off. and in the meantime, of course, the fighting continues. rob, thank you very much. indeed, robin bryan. in live, russian courts find crumbling critical lexi, nevada guilty of fraud and contempt of court is accused of embezzling funds from anti corruption foundation, which has been bound opposition. figures says the charges are politically motivated . lavonne is already starving a 2 and a half years sentence, but he may now face up to 13 years in prison. bernard smith is more of moscow. prosecutors have aspirin, avail, need to be jailed for an extra 13 years on top of the 2 and a half is already serving for contempt of court and for fraud. and they also want to moving to a maximum security prison from the relatively sort of less restrictive

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 america, along with me to have been working for quite some time to, under my rushes or 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 z o boeing has offered its full technical support to china as it investigates monday's crash in the solid, gone, she province onto and 32 people were on board. the boeing aircraft quarterly reports from vision. hello. oh, perfect footage. verified by chinese state media shows the aircraft,

security law. the measure called the prevention of terrorism act was imposed in 1979. it allowed security forces to detain suspects without trial. legislation allows for convictions based only on confessions. enough, hernandez says more from colombo, the government says that p t at trials would have to be conducted on a day to day basis. substances. li, a speeding up. the progression of such trials of that has obviously been a problem at present that there are cases where suspects have been languishing in detention or remand 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 judiciary supervision for such aspects that the magistrate must also ensure that such aspects

of 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 say 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. mexico's president is inaugurated a new international airport to south capital. but the projects faced controversy from start to finish as her home and reports from mexico city. ah,

. and it's far from the capital. it serves. have a look at the distances from our office in the center, his the existing apple than the one the president scrapped than his new one. and worse, the transport links to get the um finished. you can see that the most way that ship mean that people can get to the airport bit quicker is still under construction. there's also going to be a light trying to fairy passengers there without isn't finished yet either. and apparently will be at some point next year. so this is still very much a project that's under construction. meanwhile, that means travel times more than 2 hours from the center in traffic. some rules are worried about who built and who will partly run the apple, the army. they're involved in almost all this governments mega projects and have a lot of influence with the president's many funds.
