came across the hudson had written recently been hit. it was still on fire that many crate to the run that area, but many of left or left behind or the elderly and the vulnerable people that are unable to leave people that have family to take care of that they can't get back to the city. they just have nowhere else to go, but of course, there are those that are unwilling to leave that want to stay here, that they say that they were born head that grew up here. and they refuse to give it to what they say is rush and tara to make them skate and make them leave their home city. now there's been area sirens going on all day. and the still constant heavy i to re fi that we can hear even from the center of the city. and that's the situation that people have to live here under constant activity fire. they don't know what will be hit next when it will be hit next. and currently, we are hearing the air raid sirens going off, and that happens throughout the day and even the night and russian forces have intensified their attacks. and merrier poll,

the southern port city has been under siege for weeks. but the russian forces advance has largely stalled on all fronts. zane bas robbie reports mario pal is being bombed into the past ukrainian se economic infrastructure factories warehouses are non military targets. survivors now suffering war, willing evidently suffer in the future. their livelihoods destroyed the on the ground rushes chechen soldiers hardened fighters continue to push on residential areas and suburbs, waiting to meet them. maybe ukrainian volunteers like these met actors, singers, artists, all defending their home suited to the brewers so far old people fall in tears. who basically never had a gun in their hands, never served in the army. they never thought that they would have a gun in their hands. but all of them, with all of their intentions,

determined to resist. and this desire just brought all of them here. so the fear is natural, he says, to control it. you must embrace a small unit with little training days away from going into the fray to block rushes, advance on the capital mario pool, keith turner, keys, satellite pictures show the russian armies. use of artillery, where it's ground forces have been stalled by lethal ukrainian hit and run attacks . movie magazine vigil in khaki region. another enemy jet was shot down these clue . our forces have already shut down so many russian jets and helicopters that we can only state. instead of containing brains, their pilots heads, i empty. look, i said as well, and this is not by accident. their hearts and souls are all so empty. unharmed but not untouched by the fighting. performers in draw beach have new roles,

cooking meals for soldiers on the front lines. the moisture yet the key receive. there is a saying that when the gun sound uses our silence, but we are not silent. we are in the rear. we are engaged in volunteer work because ukraine is in a difficult situation now. since the invasion began, they sent thousands of meat balls and dumplings as well as meat stew soup, fish, and pancakes. from here to cave e, as long as their people remain in harm's way for this theatre troop the show must go on. zen basra, the old 0 movies. now this is a situation on the ground in ukraine on day $27.00 of the war areas in red are held by russian forces, and they're separate. his allies, ukrainian forces in besieged mary up all are still holding out. they've been further civilian evacuations from the city and ukraine says it's successfully pushback russian advances with counter offensive some near keith mc alive and cock

eve, and fighting has intensified north, west of keep the capital with ukrainian forces saying they've retake in the suburb of mach arrived the capital itself is relatively quiet. it's under a curfew until wednesday, as after russia destroyed a shopping center on monday, killing 8 people. let's get an update on the situation and kevin speak to him, ron kon who's there for is so a curfew in place and gave him, ron, tell us about what's been happening in and around the city. well in the north of the city we've seen renewed missile rocket. an air strikes us from russian forces on neighborhoods or like as in the north of cave. in the oblong district in particular, a number of buildings have been destroyed and fires have been taking place. emergency services are already on the scene. now in the last few days we've been hearing that the russian advance into keith has actually stole. this is an

assessment has been coming through from british intelligence, particularly by a number of other sources. and it tracks with the fact that we haven't actually seen russian forces within the streets of keith itself. that suggested that there would be a change of tactic from the russians, that they would start to rely much more heavily on missiles, rockets and air strikes. and that is now what we are actually seeing, particularly in the north cave, ne, boucher at a pin and hostile those 3 key places where ukrainian forces are fighting, where the russian forces the front lines effectively to the entry into cave. we are seeing a number of offensives encounter offensive take place there. but this idea that we are seeing more and more air strikes and miss our strikes in the, in and around keep itself suggest that it is that kind of change of tactic already . we saw a cruise missile being shut down to day in the afternoon that a, we've seen a number of cruise missiles shot down over the last few days air within the north

of keep itself. however, are the mayor of boris of hall, which is near the airports, is asked his citizens to evacuate the area completely. so ukrainian forces, he says, can go in and repel any kind of russian attack in that neighborhood, a mockery. but they say another suburb of keep in north, in the north, they say that they've actually taken that back from russian forces. but clearly there is a change in tactic. we are to sing it, we'll ceiling it on the ground. but we don't know how long that will take, how long the the russians will keep that up, whether they're using as a chance to kinda regroup. oh, or whether it's a decisive push to try and take the areas of boucher opinion and asked them all which then if they link up will be the staging ground for any potential invasion of keep him ron. thank you for that update him. ron can live for a senior crane's capital russian forces in the city of care. so i have once again

fire t gas at protesters. people have been demonstrating against the russian occupation of their city since it was taken i. 3 weeks ago, at least one person was injured on monday with ukraine accusing russian forces of using live rounds and stun grenades to disperse krauss, the u. n's children agency. unicef meanwhile, has started setting up age centers in ukraine's neighboring countries to help families fleeing the fighting. a correspondent rob mcbride is in live if any spoke with james elder from unicef. this safe space is so the scale is meant to match the need. now the moment that's still very difficult because we have the fastest growing humanitarian crisis in terms of refugee numbers that we've seen since world war 2 for these safe spaces, their places with the families get a moment of response. they get some water, they get some sanitation is increasingly they'll be cash assistance. there's 1st a, there's ideas with families who are separated from their children. so there are breathing space there, a safe space. they'll be here in ukraine already there. in romania, poland,

hungary, their essential places for kids and families on this treacherous journey. you mentioned there is one of the fastest growing crises that facing to give us give us an idea of the numbers here of, of children and the potential for how this is going to develop in mind boggling numbers on sometimes lows to use them because i don't think people can always, you know, intellectual eyes, them. at the moment we are seeing a ukrainian child become a refugee almost every 2nd. every 2nd since this war started almost a month ago, a ukrainian charles become a refugee $55.00 a minute. now that we have not seen that since world war 2, and you will have seen what that looks like, that's another child separated from his dad. it's another family stood apart. it's probably a child who's in a bunker for a few days. it's a child who was going to school a month ago and has now had their life turned upside down. we have just come out of an air raid alert. that's why you managed to make it here. now we have them constantly during the day. you've just come from a bunker here in the visa,

tell us about that. yeah, it's a maternity hospital here. it's an enormous hospital. again, one of these ones run by incredible doctors, pediatricians obstetricians the era. sorry, goes. busy and everyone does, john says including scores of very pregnant women. so i'm talking about, you know, anna, who is 36 weeks pregnant with twins who, 5 times 6 times a day, 3 or 4 times a night is going to a bunker. in fairness, it's a basement, right? it's a dusty floor and they're ready to give birth down there. it's that moment where a family should be excited for this life changing moment with family and friends. no, they've lost their grandparents. they're in bankers in here. they've separated from their husbands, they're under trauma. most of them are going into labor early because of the extreme amount of stress. and they sitting in a dusty bunker waiting for this life changing moment, bringing the children into a country at war. a cranes, agriculture minister says the country is expected to more than half its crop sewing

area because of the war. russian ukraine have long been referred to as the bread baskets of europe. they supply a 3rd of the world with wheat and barley feeding millions of people in the middle east and asia as well as africa, egypt, as the world's biggest, sweet importer, 85 percent of it, comes from the 2 warring sides on monday to fix it. spread prices according to their to the united nations 821000000 people around the world are hungry by half of the grain that the world food program buys in order to feed a 125000000 people worldwide comes from ukraine. global wheat prices jumped by 55 percent this month to hit record highs. while the head of the world food program, david beasley told our diplomatic editor james space at the war is likely to have dire consequences. for countries already facing famine. this is a nation, 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 in 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 to 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 firm in 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 could 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 grain in the world for corn mays, we et cetera,

et cetera. and so if you neglect the racial world just for ukraine, you, you've got to deal with ukraine, help the people that need help there. but you can't neglect what's happening, middle east, or northern africa. otherwise you go have millions upon millions migrating here, europe it, 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. when i speak to david labord about this, his a senior research fellow with the international food policy research institute, and he's joining us live from washington dc. david, very good to have you with us on the news. our. the ongoing fall out from the pandemic and other factors had already driven up food prices. how much worse is this conflict in ukraine making things? how much worse will it get? and what countries are the most vulnerable right now? so as you say that we, we are doing these crises on top of a situation that was where the dia, meaning that, in the last term,

your prices of commodity likely to bill over the double. if you think the current increase in what does happen in the last 2 moth actually the price of we have increase by 80 percent and more markets. so this is the, an additional drop that can bring. a number of people are in anger that also as you just have early days already, famines attrition in the world like in your men where this current description, meaning that grains that would have been shipped away from ukraine or russia through the black sea last month. this month are not going to where they should go in. of course the next few months are going to be even more challenging. yeah. is there any one? 0, any country that i can, that can step in now to, to fail either the void, whether it's to do with grade, we to even fertilizer, which is also affected by the way. so on the spot are, we are the cabin of country that actually a good with others like argentina or india, that the have started to include their exports. and what we just hope that the

continued to explore basically that we don't start to oh, with what we got export restriction to product there on a market or but that will not replace integrally ukraine and russia, especially the next august. that was the big doings of summer is own, disrupted, or even walked in the next a planting season could take place. and so that for the with that, that we have in the coming them off, countries can start to plant more. but it mean that it will take between 6 and 8 in mouth to see the sweet coming on the market. and as you say, the fertilizer is put on to the, the biggest crises under arisen with pricey that i was more than double some country can that have access to the french as of it need an id the future as a market disrupted? that's an impact on every farmers in the world and therefore every consumer in the world. yet, it's not just a conflict in ukraine or of course a david, but also the sanctions on russia, which will eventually penalize population that are food insecure. what,

what mitigation packages, i mean should, should, the countries that are, are, you know, imposing the sanctions, what mitigation packages should be provided to add to 3rd party countries. so on one end, some of these things, some tried to protect the food trade itself. so they already some provision. now we just have to be careful when you have things done, you know, that will business system can be shifted. we show. so what's happened with payment? so obviously very that number of action one is to make sure that people understand the things and can navigate them for all of these. and this is very good, especially if the product, but also in some case we need to have money. financial aid to pay for the extra cost or they just spent to move from $1.00 to pay to another. but t very is the key question of the laser. that is a very big situation because actually to key a source of income form. but worse and when you think that you also have to think that's right gas, and that's also put them through your source of money for risha. and that's i think

on the input market that most of the challenges and sensitivity out right now. right. so the war, david, we all agree, pause is a risk to global food security. what should be guffman? what should governments rather be doing an international organizations should be doing immediately to address the crisis? so promotes information sharing and coordination the last week. the last thing we need, right? noise at panic, either by kicks, bottle, stopping to stop exporting, to protect the market, or by you bought in country the food ross to try to, you know, or the be of your in case of funding. so, you know, that's very important, policy got the nation, then we need to mobilize money to pay for the additional cost coming from the higher price of food for many tie in devonshire, but also developed targeted $15.00 it in countries to really help the poor consumer in particular in book countries, and he, i mean that also with the high price of all you guys are on going debate about, you know, can vis increase revenue for ex bato. again, help product things,

some countries. and last but not least, you know how you can get a, make sure that farmers have access to, to the input for the next harvest in for the next planting season, globally. that's what it is important, choked coordination. money and also smart, but it's jackson to make sure that the scarce resource we have are really use where they are needed to be david's. thank you very much for talking to us about this. thank you for your insight. david labord, senior research fellow with the international food policy research institute. thank you for your time. thanks for having me. ah. has turned to some other news now and in russia vladimir proteins, main political opponent, has been moved to a maximum security prison to serve a new 9 year sentence. alexi nev only has been found guilty of fraud and contempt of court. bernard smith, brake force and moscow. the last outspoken political opponent of russia's president

appeared in a prison court room in a black prison uniform looking gold. the judge found alexei in the valley guilty of fraud and contempt of court. the sentence 9 years jail in a maximum security prison. when the valley spoke, the video feed from the court room to journalists was cut. so his supporters posted his comments online. you can't put every one in prison. even if you ask for a 113 years, you won't scare me your others like me. every person must act in their own way as they can, considering the circumstances, but act as the valleys lawyers spoke outside the prison police with loud hale as tried to drown them out. you see a synopsis. of course, we will appeal the verdict that we were not able to use a recording device. i have digital copies of the case papers. so this was incorrect procedure on top of the fact that it was taking place in the prison,

which is very rare. it's just over a year since alexis of only returned to russia from germany, he'd been given medical treatment after a poison attack with a nerve agent during a visit to siberia. within minutes of his plane landing the valley was arrested was he's not been out of jail since nevada only was russia's main opposition lead. he tried to run for president in the election in 2018, but was bar from stun. his anti corruption foundation was declared an extremist organisation and shut down that in february, last year, the valley was jailed for 2 and a half years for parole. violations charges, he says were trumped up to silence him. not as of right now, put in would like to keep alexis in prison for as long as he is in our we accomplish. this is huge difference order to imprisoned alexi.

oh, there were demonstrations in several russian cities against nevada. his treatment, particularly after he went on hunger strike, there's little chance of anything like this this year. any recent attempts to protest against the war and ukraine had been snuffed out before they started. alexei of ali tried to keep up his campaigning from prison with his lawyers, posting messages on instagram, but that's now banned here, and with no valley being moved to a maximum security. prison is unlikely we're going to hear from him many years. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow lessons speak to demeter beck chair, about this is a rush, an affair specialist and lecture at oxford university school of global and area studies. thank you very much for joining us on the news hour. i saw a sentence that doesn't come as a surprise to many. what do you think the intent of the russian state is here? well was to saddam of only because at this critical moment, she is

a voice of criticism against from the kremlin. and his supporters obey even all the fun has been suppressed. many of his lieutenants are brought right? no. but he is seen as a truck by the kremlin. so he is still seen as a threat. or even though he was in jail already what, what's your sense for his future despite him being behind bars? he's been able, for instance, the call for protests against the war in ukraine. will he be able to continue that with this new sentence? i hope for the bus, but it's, it's a gamble. i mean, he's moved to an institution with much more strict conditions of imprisonment. and his face is very much incumbent on just one individual, william and put in. that is no. it loosened, the rule of law prevails in russia. i mean even his lawyers were apprehended right after the hearing. so he'll probably try to linger roman and be there. or

if there is in crumbles, which is not excluded scenario vonny will use his imprisonment as a badge of honor. but you shouldn't or else the worse also, but you're just so perish in prison. unfortunate as the state of affairs in russia's yet what, what sort of conditions will he be facing in his maximum security penal colony that he's been center? oh, i can only guess. i'm a model specialist on the russian prisons book did. there was this perverse logic in his hitherto, to condition that because he was already in jail, he had the freedom to speak his mind too much. he waited extensive people who lost from his notebook or activist in russia novel. he has been moved to a different place. his contacts with y'all side walls will be limited and the

ability for him to pass messages to his so called us who of course as many have moved abroad will be much more restricted. so we don't really know. but again, the underlying resentment that he thought into is there is all going away. right. so the sentencing, of course, is coming as a war in ukraine rages on an international attention is really focused on ukraine. so this is a last, an opponent to put in his now been silence. is there anything at all the international committee can do? and i'm also curious to know whether russians in general care about nevada. the sate. well, i'm very skeptical that these national committees can do anything at this point. because remember that the moment he bought the plane from germany to a to, to russia was a time when bridges haven't been birth. because between the western governments,

especially germany and russia. but it didn't make a difference put in was dead on the jailing of the army. and it's the case even more now that though he at this confrontation statement of whatever efforts to rescue the pony all to prove his condition made by anybody. i don't think they are anyone in the criminal willing to indulge them though there's a sense of the matter. thank you so much for talking to us to me chat, chat, joining us fair from oxford in the u. k. thank you for your time. we appreciate it . thank you and we'll have more of the day's avenues coming up on the news. our somalia is facing its worst route in decades. hundreds of thousands of children and going hungry as a result. a long awaited reform, sure lank as part of and vote to change controversial security measures. and in support, this moto, g, p champion, may have walked away from this huge clash,

but an injury, friends, and a season on that after the break to ah or can see your world's weather up say we're going to begin this one in the middle east. hello everyone, good to see you. it's all about the heats through the golf. so we'll go in for a closer look there. here's a forecast temperatures on wednesday. we've got minima in for a hiv 33. i'm going to put this a few days for now on friday we get this northerly wind out of iraq, so that's dropping down the temperature of the nama to $27.00, but del has still hang it onto the thirty's. as we looked toward pakistan, karachi, 33 degrees, we'll come back to this in a sec, but we've also got heat through southern iran. sure. as a height 26. ok promised to we talk more about karachi. here's the 3 day forecast, i think by the weekend you'll hit 40 degrees. it's wall above average in all has to

do with the switch in wind direction. those winds have been fierce at times through the boss for us still dealing with them on wednesday for is stumble with a hive. 8 degrees, well below average, shower a picture there, and we've also got wet and cruel conditions for the love that storms are flared up across central parts of africa, right out to the gulf of guinea. and as we go toward the bottom end of africa, right now, we're seeing that rain fill in right across south africa site chance it will see it in cape town as well, with the high 25 degrees on wednesday. and now you're in the no see soon. ah a sanctuary for journalists. it was a haven from the wall and shelter for civilian refugees, scattered into the garden during cambodians, bloody stuff flooring us up to me and suddenly we were turning

the canal rouge had taken anything of value out of the hotel, cambodia. let the know a new episode of war hotels on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah

ah, welcome back here watching the news hour on al jazeera with me fully back table. a reminder of the latest developments in ukraine car key is coming under heavy bombardment. russians defense ministry has released images showing military vehicles entering the region around ukraine. second largest city. russian forces have also intensified their attacks on the southern port city of mariel. but ukraine claims have destroyed some russian times. the city has been under siege for weeks. the head of the well food program says the war in ukraine will have got diet consequences for countries that are already facing famine. david beesley says the conflict has already had a major impact on global food and energy prices. and the united nations secretary general antonio terrace says ukrainians are enduring a living. hell. and he's urge russia to end its invasion. christine salome reports from you and headquarters in new york, the secretary general, antonio gutierrez,

stopped and made remarks on the situation in ukraine signaling how serious the situation is getting there. he described it as morally unacceptable, politically indefensible, and militarily nonsensical. he gave these off the cuff remarks, britain, remarks, i should say. they were formal remarks to the press, clearly wanting to make a statement on the situation on the ground and putting the war in the context of international law. he called out russia very directly saying that they were violating not only ukrainian sovereignty, but the un charter with their quote, a massive invasion of ukraine. and he described the suffering on the ground there as how on earth, particularly in the city of murray, a poor which is under siege at the moment, have a listen to what he said. then merely new craniums have been forced from bit ohms. and that on the move that the water is going nowhere fussed for

more than 2 weeks. mario paul has been encircled by the russian army and relentlessly bumped shelves and effects for walked. even if marable falls, ukraine can not be conquered. city by city, streets, by city, halls, by halls. the only outcome to all these is more suffering, more destruction, and more are of, as far as the i can see. euclidean people, including a living hell and the reverberations are being felt worldwide, is skyrocketing, fools, energy, and fertilizer prices. so deafening to speedo into a global hunger crisis. the secretary general went on to say that even if mario both falls after 2 weeks to what, and he said that some point, the parties are gonna have to come to the table and negotiate a settlement. he predicted that russia could not capture all of ukraine street by

street, and he called for an immediate cessation of hostilities on yes, present. joe biden will head to brussels later this week to meet natal and european union leaders with an eye to putting more pressure on russia. but as our diplomatic editor james space report disagreements in europe over energy supplies could hamper moves for tougher sanctions. e u foreign ministers meeting earlier this week in the 4 weeks since the invasion, they've already agreed for packages of sanctions, which was some of the toughest ever imposed, as well as a fund of over a 1000000000 dollars to buy weapons for ukraine. i asked the e use top foreign affairs official about further measures when the leaders meet here soon. do you expect there to be further? sanctions adopted this week and could they be extended to the energy sector formula? adoption of sanctions require procedure. and i don't think, dude in these week you will be

a former adoption of sanctions according with our procedures. the reason is this, the european union is now divided on even tougher measures. some countries, notably germany oppose a complete ban on russian oil and gas experts estimate the before the war. russian gas was costing western countries a $1000000000.00 a day. germany has been very foolish over the years. i mean, along with some of and then the states, not only didn't, they reduce their dependency on russian oil and gas. they actually built is huge and not stream to pipeline, despite the fact that most of the other member states that don't do it because russia will weapon isaac, which is exactly what russia has done. you would you put your dns them even if sanctions are tightened. some believe hootin may not back down because he's not accomplished any of his was aims. so it's essentially an russian thinking that ukraine doesn't lean to the west. and i think that's put in the will prevents that

at any price, as long as it's as long as it takes at any cost. that is what we see happening right now. and if that means a long lasting war, and i think we are in it for a long time, i think rush, i will be prepared to take up costs when your opinion and nato leaders gather here in brussels. you can expect another show of unity, more strong words against vladimir putin. but when it comes to concrete action, they probably gone as far as they can go. james bayes al jazeera brussels and avenues the 2nd day of confirmation hearings for us supreme court nominees, tangy brown. jackson is underway. she is the 1st black woman to be selected for the post. she advertise theory for some capitol hill. if anything, john johnson spent much of a consolation hearing discussing what she thought with the limitations of being a supreme court justice. such was her desire to labor fears of some republicans, which had become an actress. george made law from the bench. she repeatedly said

that if confirmed, she would stay in her name. i think that all of my record is important to some degree because i think it clearly demonstrates that i am an independent jurist, that i am ruling in every case, consistent with the methodology that i've described, that i am impartial. i don't think that anyone can look at my record and say that it is pointing in one direction or another that it is supporting one viewpoint or another. the well telegraph republican attacks on her career, but because she was a public defender, she somehow soft on crime because she defended her guantanamo detainees. she's soft on terrorism, word dutifully revealed by members of the committee, but were difficult to sustain, given the range of endorsements. john jackson was received from both right to left
