prevailing in and around the city. last night for areas my colleagues were targeted by the russian forces. it is also the 1st time since the beginning of the war to see the city center target. among the areas targeted were a desert, the hotel and a mental health hospital. russian forces in the city of curse on have once again 5 t guy sat protesters. people have been demonstrating against the russian occupation of the city since it was taken 3 weeks ago. at least one person, my st. jude on monday with ukraine accusing russian forces of using live rounds and done grenades to disperse crowds. at the head of the world, food program says the war in ukraine could have dia, consequences for countries already facing famine. speaking to our diplomatic editor, james space in brussels. david bees, the said global food prices were already being impacted. this is a nation. it produces enough food for 400000000 people around the world. if we don't in this war and get their economy going again. so they're planting and
7:09 pm
harvesting. we're going to have a global supply problem later this year. this will be catastrophe on top of catastrophe if we don't act now. strategically and quickly is could be hell on earth. so not just the people who we're seeing right now die in ukraine. do you believe the consequences of this in terms of food insecurity? potential famine could kill many more. i don't have enough money now before ukraine . i was already because of supply any supply chain issues like fuel costs, shipping cost and food costs before ukraine. i was already cutting 8000000 people to 50 percent rashes in yemen. 50 percent rashes in these year 50 percent rashes, and chad and i can keep going around the world. now. we'll have a supply chain issue because ukraine produces between them and russia. 20 to 30 percent of all the great in the world for corn, mays, we, etc,
7:10 pm
etc. and so if you neglect the racial world just for ukraine, you, you've got to deal with ukraine, helped the people that need help there. but you can't neglect what's happening. the middle east or northern africa, otherwise you go have millions upon millions migrating here. europe. this is no free lunch here. you go pay for one way. the other, the best thing to do is get ahead of it and stop the storm from getting worse. i ration court has sentence criminal critic, alexi navarre me to i for the 9 years in a maximum security prison. he's accused of embezzling donations from his anti corruption foundation. nevada denies his charges. he says that politically motivated bennet smith has moved from laska. not only is an alexi now valley sentenced to 9 years in prison on top of the 2 and a half years. he was already sentenced to last year. he will serve a sentence, this new sentence in a maximum security prison. the prosecutors had asked him to be moved from the

7:19 pm
rains driven april help is needed now. malcolm web al, jazeera southern somalia. a human weiss watch has accused uganda security services committing what he calls her refill abuses. the right school pelagius, secuity offices have abducted people at gunpoint enforce them into unmarked vehicles. makes him say they were tortured and raped while they were held in detention. according to human rights watch, security operatives are a quarterly extorted money from victims and their families as a condition of their release. it says government reforms are needed to hold those responsible to accounts. early i spoke to andrew windows a, uganda and journalist. he said it's difficult to say to what extent the government is involved if you have different amazon government armed with guns and everyone is shitty. how do you establish culpability? that is either the admitted police or the local defence units that shot and killed
7:20 pm
people. so there was such will fusion is difficult to establish individual culpability. i was of just be reading this runners report. they say they have not punished those who short, it's difficult to even know who short and therefore hard individually accountable individuals in government. now decide will of course the elections. there were a series of abductions or will people considered to be political goodness. and it is before to be thickened. good visual procedures as well. this problem with this one is going to look at this directly. they had the thugs, which you'd call a shudder, stick to the back. i think them some elements the still the services with power from my bow because remember i saluted that plus these guys would be that guys were coming with the guns wearing student robes wearing a braving civilian cars and abducting people. so it was very difficult to say that this is the police, this is the i made, this is even going to this obviously government that you got, i think once to commit some law but acts and still retain the degree of business
7:21 pm
from those x. and therefore, achieve what we've quoted deniability, men, that governments, it can improve rob groups who will shadow states to do these kinds of things that as well. because that was a government. and i think the root cause of this is that i think the government of uganda has vis you guidance on what it is trying to do for them. and in the absence of all mobility, the population around its vision, it gets a human because looking to them down, i think that has been the biggest, broke out hope that there reforms the government of uganda, but substitute the indices from abducting people, taking them to the good, special passages and putting them there, but that is different from saying that their fleet is a prison fan, who has specialist revising. it is like saying, because the american, such as prisoners in upgrade, our president bush's daughter was personally this providing it. you said those 2 different things. a palestinian has been shot dead fine. it's really civilian after an alleged fabbing attack in the south of the country for his release have died
7:22 pm
falling the incident in best shape as city. let's speak to harry falsettos in white . she was going for his how are you? what more can you tell us about this incident? yes, well, this said that the reports are as follows. that this was a pretty wide ranging attack that took place in the southern town of shaver that the man is alleged to have attacked and stabbed a woman at a petrol station on the main road before getting in a car. driving over, a cyclist, a male cyclist on his way to a shopping center nearby and getting out of the car and attacking a man and woman stubbing them both. he was then confronted by a civilian with a firearm. there is video of the 2 of them facing off with a civilian shouting repeatedly asked, and each man moving back and forth before the man with a knife. the palestinian man ends up charging towards him and isn't apparently shot
7:23 pm
he's been confirmed to be killed as well. so the reports are that there are for israelis killed and, and the israeli bedouin man, we understand. he is from a southern beto in town of cora, in the mega does it. he said to be 34 year old mohammed al kion and the reports that he used to be a teacher at his school, where he and some other stuff were arrested for allegedly promoting isis ideology back in 2015. now his actions this attack has been praised by us, which has said that the crimes of israeli occupation had been met with heroic stabbing, robbing, and shooting. there are concerns that this could be part of a wider uptick in violence in the run up to ramadan. certainly it's a 3rd stopping attack that we've seen inside israel within the last 3 days or so. we understand that the police chief has been sent down,
7:24 pm
or is decided to go down to the scene of the attack that the prime minister natalie bennett has also been kept up to date on the latest events. harry, thank you very much for that. harry fosset, i foresee in jerusalem to sri lanka now where members of parliament are voted to amend a controversial anti terrorism law. it comes 43 years after the legislation was 1st introduced as a temporary measure. the government says the amendments represent a very substantial improvement, but critics disagree. the law allowed security forces to detain suspects without trial. we now fernandez has more from colombo, because the government was never in doubt of being able to pass this new prevention of terrorism amendment act. and they managed to do so with the simple majority of having made certain changes recommended by the supreme court. now obviously the opposition was very sort of vociferous and insistent on the sort of stand they took against the amendment. or their mean issue was that the changes did not go far
7:25 pm
enough. they basically accused the government of trying to pull wool over the eyes of everyone are claiming that they were making major changes to this anti terrible . when in actual fact it didn't really change the way things would happen on the ground. with regards to the treatment of terror suspects. now, this is something that obviously was debated for many, many hours in the building behind me, the salon can parliament. and ultimately, we've seen, as i said, the amendment bill go through bearing in mind that it's been 43 years since this bill was brought as a temporary provision for 6 months. and now for the 1st time we've actually had amendments as to how that worked on the ground. the foreign minister who talked to the bill in parliament said that this would be use in very sort of selective circumstances where there was clear evidence of our sort of terrorism or terrorism
7:26 pm
related activity. but that obviously remains to be seen. mexico's president has inaugurated a new in channel airport to serve the capital, but the project has faced controversy from start to finish townhome and reports from mexico city. ah, it looks just like any other mid size airport. with the philippe on hill, is it a portal built to serve metzger city was a serious point of contention long before it opened on monday most because president under as manuel lopez over the door cancelled this 13000000000 dollar mega airport. a 3rd of the way for construction to build fully pen hill is instead, he said that project undertaken by the previous administration was riddled with corruption essay. now he's built his own. he arrived on monday, feeling vindicated. mariel val game nicer as
7:27 pm
a as it has had his i laugh because when i said that on the 21st of march the input would be ready. our visit. he said it wouldn't be possible. lopez abra, those apple is cheaper than the scrap one. but it's also smaller it lonely, working combination with the other already over crowded old one. and it's far from the capital. it serves. have a look at the distances from our office in the center, his, the existing i put than the one the president scrapped than his new one. and worse, the transport links to get the up finished. you can see that the motor that should mean that people can get to the airport make 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 are also
7:28 pm
worried about who built and who partly run the pool, the army. they're involved in almost all this governments mega projects and have a lot of influence with the president's many funds. that's what the launch would just as exuberant as he was, and try to put up a ha, it's a 1st class airport. i know a lot of them, and this is at the same level as the shanghai airport. oh, many might differ, but at least it's up and running. now the jury's out when, if it would just be an unloved 2nd option to the main old rep who were philippe on hill is really tyco john homan. how does it metzger city and the coldest places on earth have been hit by extreme heat. both of the planets polls are reporting unusually high temperatures. with scientists calling it historic and unprecedented temperatures in antarctica with 40 degrees celsius,
7:29 pm
higher than normal in some places in the past few days. at a time when the continent is meant to be calling at the other end of the planet temperatures in the arctic way, at 30 degrees above normal. doctor jonathan while is a researcher in to pull our meteorology, he say, scientists need more evidence before deciding whether. busy it's a sign of things to come. the extreme temperature is in the arctic and the ants arctic. they both can be sort of attributed to what we call a atmospheric river. that is a corridor of air is very warm, and weiss as transported from the lower latitudes for we live city and harlow suits . and the case of the antarctic events was much more intense than what was observed in the arctic. ah, the events occurred on the march? 54, the i'm a scrubber lane may landfill in east antartica from there. the moisture was transported on further into the continent. that's when we start observing that
7:30 pm
freakishly larger, 40 degree temperature anomaly. these events to fit into a broader pattern, the scene, extreme events that we didn't think were possible until they well just happens, especially in the case of the antarctic. this was something that kind of changes the way we think of the sort of climate. now, our human history of observing the weather in its arctic is limited. so it's difficult to say whether this is a sign of things to come, or just a rather freakish events that just will be very interesting for us sciences to study, going into the future. ah, hello again, i'm for the battle with the headlines on al jazeera ukraine says it's forces have regained control of keys, suburb as fighting rages north west of the capitol. walker, house tall man, and her pain have been under attack for weeks. the city is under curfew after heavy
