ukrainian forces say they've retaken a strategic area northwest of the capital key. ukraine's defense ministry says seizing mercury. eve will block russian troops from surrounding the capitol in the northwest. but it admitted that russian forces have partially taken 3 other areas near the capital. the city center is relatively quiet. it's under curfew until wednesday to the war obviously continues. but what is flooding revolutions and game and what kind of new world order would he want to see? jason stanley is a professor of philosophy at yale university and author of the book, how fascism works. he joins us live now from new haven, connecticut. by skype, jason stanley, thank you so much for being with us on al jazeera and i'm letting me put in as said that the invasion, the war is to d, nasa fi ukraine a you've often said that often this sort of language is used to deflect from someone's own fascism. so what would you say is putin's brand of fascism and why is

ukraine so crucial to it? so brewton is the leader of a kind of global far right movement funding far right ultra nationalists all across the world. russian fascism, the kind of animate an ideology behind this terrible invasion, starts with the view that you crane is properly russia, that there are no ukrainians, that there is no such thing as ukrainian identity. that these are really just the russians confused. the russians who been somehow brainwashed by saw by globalist forces and in to think and, and do sorta and ukrainian nationalists and to thinking there's this thing, ukraine. in fact, it's just russia. so what this shows is that putin intends to erase eradicate ukrainian identity. that's the,

that's the form of russian fascism. fascism is a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of supposed to humiliate national humiliation. and here we have, it's clearest example of vacation where you had an empire supposedly containing ukraine and the, the soviet union. and previous versions of russia did contain ukraine and to pollutants. mission is to restore that empire and supposedly take revenge for a national humiliation. what's particularly interesting about a russian and fusion is of course put in this associates himself. witnesses in historically the russians help defeat not as a man in world war 2. and but fascism always tends to need an enemy or a scape goat. so in this case, who is putins enemy and scapegoat?

well, there's a kind of a deep seated incoherence here and the justification for this unprovoked invasion. the deep seated incoherence is it supposed to be? you are attacking ukraine both because it's a global us liberal demarc, western liberal democracy. and because it's ukrainian fascists, while you camp both b, a globalist, a globalist plot, you know, to bring european liberal democracy in. and a nazi state that's in coherent potent target is and has always been democracy. he seeks to show that democracy anywhere is really just, just a facade for a, for some kind of ultra nationalism white supremacy, something like this. so he seeks to show that, i mean democracy is an existential threat to rod to putin's regime, right?

because if the people of, of russia see this fairly arriving state can nation next to them that replace as its leaders, that it replaces its leaders and elections. then they're going to see that, that sort of thing as possible when they see the standard of living of the country next to them. and when the, when they see that the country can replace its leaders by elections, that's a threat to, to, to russia and pollutants regime regime. so his enemy, as liberal democracy, you call them as a leader of a global fascist movement. then certainly at the kremlin putin as supported several as far right or extreme nationalist. what we want to call the movements, certainly across europe. and it's been interesting how in the past few weeks, some of them have condemned russia, but perhaps not in, in an as, as spoken away as, as one might hope. so what do you think the chances are of will you call the global fascist movement? spreading even more after what we're seeing happen in ukraine?

well, i think that the, it depends on what will happen in ukraine. i think that there is understandable, recoiling and horror from the sort of cor heart of the ideology that putin has been spreading. i and i think this might be actually a some kind of hope that the world can unite and draw back from this flirtation with authoritarianism. or that putin has been leading, you're obviously at, you know, you've been studying a fascism in detail and one of the reasons for doing that is to learn the lessons from history. so what do you think the lessons are the should be learned from history and how should they be applied in dealing with vladimir putin? wo, i think that in, in the past fashion globe universal fascism attempts to create this kind of

a universal app. no nationalist movement failed because these national, these nationalities had couple historical conflicts. and we're seeing this in the case of poland and russia. poland is in the grips of a far right government. however, poland understands out what when russia invades and threatens to kill the intellectual and political lead of a country. this is poland, history. and so poland is going to be drawn away from this kind of ideology and hopefully towards it's the liberal democratic identity and connection to the european union. so i think there's a vindicates the european union and similar constructions, jesse stanley, professor philosophy at yale university and also of the book. come on any other publications, but how fascism works, sir, thank you so much for sharing of use with us. thank you. now the head of

the wilson program is warning. they'll be disaster after a disaster if the war in ukraine does not end quickly. david beasley told diplomatic editor james base that countries facing famine will be hardest hit. 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 harvesting. we're going to have a global supply problem later this year. this could be catastrophe on top of catastrophe. if we don't act now, strategically and quickly as could be hell on earth. so not just the people who were 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 hours, already because of supply any supply chain issues like fuel costs,

shipping cost, and food cost 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, major, we, etc, 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, 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. the bombardment of ukrainian cities as reduce the streets to rubble and all too often critical infrastructure is coming under attack. the country's health minister says

10 hospitals have been completely destroyed and the world health organization says a further 43 have been damaged. the fighting is also preventing her in a virus testing and the delivery of medical supplies, aid groups that say more than 3 an 100 health facilities are in combat zones or areas under russian control. and more than 60 schools across ukraine, now ly, incomplete ruins, and other 460 educational facilities have been damaged. save the children, says an estimated 6000000 children are still trapped in ukraine. with many sheltering and buildings come coming under increased attacks. with these pictures, show a children's hospital in the city of 7 or etzky in the eastern and low husky region that came on the russian bombardment. in the last 24 hours, rescue teams were able to evacuate 7 children and 15 adults. officials say more than 2 dozen buildings in the region have been damaged in the last day, including school aid organizations have started setting up centers in

ukraine's neighboring countries to help families escaping the fighting. r corresponded rog mcbride is in the vive. any spoke with james elder from you this 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 day, 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 essentially 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 dance his 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 the 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 bunkers in here. they're separated from their husbands, they're under troll. not most of them are going into labor early because of the extreme amount of stress. and they're sitting in a dusty bunker waiting for this life changing moment, bringing the children into a country at war. coming up on al jazeera in this news hour in russia, kremlin critic alex in a valley is sentenced to 9 years in a maximum security prison after he is found guilty of fraud and contempt of court. suppressing the sent a report accuses uganda security services of committing horrific abuses against the government. critics. ah,

the un is warning. somalia needs immediate attention to avoid every piece of the 2011 famine disaster with the country in the grips of its worst drought in 40 years . 4000000 people in the country are facing the risk of starvation as the country enters its 3rd consecutive dry season. more than half a 1000000 farmers and herders have lost their crops and animals. and this has caused the inflation and led to an increase in food and water prices with you and says more than $300000.00 children in somalia already severely malnourished. are wanting some viewers, may find the images in malcolm webs report. distressing with this is what somali is drought, whatever has done to this 3 year old boy, his father, i'm delighted the mohammed was

a farmer. all his crops died last month. they joined hundreds of thousands of people who were leaving their homes for make shift camps. but there wasn't enough food or water in the camp either. i left my wife in the campus. she was also sick. i had been here for 14 days with my son in the hospital and is slowly making recovery day after day. the u. n says more than a 1000000 children and malnourished a 3rd of them severely. after the last 3 rainy seasons failed. crops and animals have been wiped out. children who are among the most vulnerable, the lucky ones get medical help across southern somalia, sara, p take feeding centers a full like this one in the town of look somali as had famines before. the doctor shook the hussein up. the says, she's never seen anything like this. she works here for the irish charity tro care

. more than 100 children came to money admitted according to who is more market. most people here heard it. animals include cropped on the banks of the rivers. it till they dried up. this was somebody's name to survival. livestock can eat little grows on the thorny bushes and turn it into milk. me an income, now caucuses, a scattering this whole area. people say 1st, the crops died when the animals died too, they had no choice to walk here to the edge of the town and set up a camp. people use what they can to shelter from the dust in the sun. conditions on good. many children here need help, but humanitarian agencies say they have less than 3 percent of the money they need

. any help is too late for her daughter is acts daughter and her 4 grandchildren, who she says, all died on the way here. i'm suddenly 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 old he died. the next rains a june april help is needed now. malcolm web al jazeera, southern somalia forest cher his gov is a you and hcr spokesman and joins us now from geneva. and absolutely a devastating situation is we can see a in that report. i mean, how much of it are obviously it's caused by the drought, but how much of it is avoided? avoidable?

well, thank you, barbara for having the, the program. what we're seeing in the horn of africa is one of the worst droughts in recent memory. and somalia is by far the hardest hit country. we have more than 4 and a half 1000000 people that are affected by the drought. hundreds of thousands of playing their homes because they don't have access to pasture to safe drinking water and to food. we're trying to ramp up our assistance along with you about italian partners and been able to reach around 36000 people just recently. but we face a tremendous shortfall. we have just 5 percent of our funds and we need for 2020 to around $158000000.00 united states dollars. without that money, we can provide critical assistance and protection to the people that needed the most. we see for these kids, these are women who are pregnant, lactating mothers, older people, they're moving into urban settlements. they're going into places which are already hosting displaced people somalia,

already facing one of the worst internal displacement crises, 2900000 people that have moved because of the conflict in the country. and now in the settlements where people are coming from drug effective areas, conditions are getting worse, crowding is becoming voice as well, and we are struggling to provide them with this care. what we see now is this is one of also the effects of the accelerated climate crisis. every region in the world is impacted, but in places like somalia, we see the devastating consequences and it's exactly the most vulnerable that are. we have these possibility to adapt to these conditions that are being struck the hardest. and you mentioned obviously that funding has been an issue. we've also heard in the past few hours from the head of the world food program saying that the crisis in ukraine and the sanctions of russia mean that a lot of exports of corn, wheat, and barley that would be used in areas especially that are risk of famine are now

there's more pressure on them, is something that you're also going to feel and that will make the situation even worse. when we hear the reports from our partners from our sister, you an agency of the world food program. what we're seeing is that the g agency is increasing displacement and more and more. these types of situations are impacted with conflict, where we're seeing both the environmental hazards, the climate shocks that are intertwining with conflict with poverty, with governance issues. and this is becoming more severe and those that are facing it are the most vulnerable. in fact, in the case of somalia, we see children dropping out at school to help their families provide a no income or to find water to find pasture. we see the day and especially girls are at high risk of abuse of exploitation and this also requires urgent care. so for us it is providing humanitarian, vital humanitarian assistance. but it's also the protection angle of this patient.

i mean, you mentioned there, the 2 issues, conflict and climate change, of course, climate change putting even more pressure on situations that are already a bit volatile. is it something that you think the international community is paying enough attention to right now? this combination that in the situation like somalia can bring about catastrophic situations. so 1st of all, it's not enough attention. we need urgent action. in fact, it's because of decades of an action that we find ourselves in the situation where the climate crisis is accelerating. it's such a rapid pace, we need funds to go to adaptation so that these communities have the resources to define the, the, the strength, but also the resources to, to cope, to build up the structures that will help them survive and thrive, that they will have livelihoods that they will have shelter, that they will be able to cope with the situation. but in the case of some audio right now, after 3 failed rainy seasons which have decimated crops and livestock,

the situation is really dire. morris said cheshire, cough you and hcr a spokesman joining us from geneva ser, thank you very much. thank you for having a human rights watch. has accused uganda security services of committing would it cause who refill abuses against government? critics. the rights group says hundreds of opposition supporters have been targeted over the past 3 years, especially around last year's election president that yielded him was 70, has condemned to torture. but campaigners accused this government of condoning the arbitrary arrest and abuse ex detainees have reported being raped, beaten, electrocuted, or injected with unknown substances. and rumour, when does a uganda journalist, he says it's difficult to know which arm of government is actually responsible. it's a government that, that brought to them. you see if you have different amazon government armed with the guns and everyone is shooting, how do you establish culpability?

that is either the i made a police or the local defence units that shot and killed people. so that was such confusion. it is difficult to establish individual culpability. i've just been reading this runners report. they say they have to punish those who short. it's difficult to even know who shot and therefore hard individually, accountable individuals in the government now decided will of course, the elections. there were a series of abductions or rule people considered to be political appointments. and these people to be thickened, good visual procedures as well. this problem with this one is going with directly they had the thugs who to call a shadow, stick to the deck. guys were coming with heavy guns wearing suit and gloves wearing a braving civilian cars and abducting people. so it was very difficult to say that this is the police, this is that i made the see the good service still ahead in the news hour. i'm impartial. i don't think that anyone can look at my record and say that it is

breeza condition still through the boss for it's impacting is stumble shirey as well with the hiv 8 degrees. those winds right through the g and into the eastern met. now here's the good stuff. plenty of sun waltz, while sunshine temperature is pretty close to about 20 degrees, for example, in zagreb, and budapest, in fact, we may see 20 degrees. and i think both london in paris you'll join that 20 degree club is while at some point this week. but for wednesday, we've got both of you in for a hiv 18 degrees, some unsettled weather towards the north west of africa. so we're bought into marrakech, we're going to see some showers. but for the northeast side of the top end of africa, i think just wind, it will stay dry and cairo with the hive. 17 degrees down toward the bottom end of africa. we're seen that rain fill in across says south africa is see some thunder storms in cape town as well. but i think by and large it should stay dry here. look, unlike the better bet for some sunshine will be bill a whale with the high of 25 degrees and still rain across madagascar on wednesday. that's it soon. ah

the head of the world food program says the war in ukraine could have a catastrophic effect on global food supplies. ukraine and russia account for a 3rd of global wheat and barley exports, which countries in the middle east, asia and africa reliant to feed millions. you as president joe biden, heads to belgium and poland in a few days hoping to increase pressure on russia. but the european leader is east coming to me in brussels. can't agree on whether to enforce tougher sanctions. the u. s. e u and u. k. have already banned any equipment and components needed to sustain military capabilities, as well as luxury goods. the u. s. is cut off russian oil and gas imports. the u. k . will phase it out by the end of the year while the e. u aims to become independent from russian russian energy, while before 2030 below russian flights have been banned from the u. s. u. k. and european aerospace,

the u. k is also banned the private jets chartered by russians and western countries of frozen the assets of russia. central bank cut in the country all from $630000000000.00 in foreign currency reserves. some russian banks have been removed from the international financial messaging system. swift and hundreds of members of russia's government then business leaders, known as oligarchs, have been independently sanctioned or diplomatic editor. james base has more from brussels. 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 $1000000000.00 to buy weapons for ukraine. i asked the used top foreign affairs official about further measures when the leaders meet here soon. do you expect that to be further? sanctions adopted this week and could they be extended to the energy sector for

amolla? adoption of sanctions require procedure. and i don't think, dude, in these wake, 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 other than the states, not only didn't, they reduce that dependency on russian oil and gas. they actually built is huge and not steam 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's for a long time, i think rush, i will be prepared to take that cost when european union 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 bows out, jazeera brussels, nothing there. putins last political opponent has been moved to a maximum security prison after being found guilty of fraud and contempt of court. alex in a val need denies allegations that he embezzled donations from his anti corruption foundation, calling the charges politically motivated, he was sentenced to

a further 9 years in prison when at smith reports from 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 skim 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 will 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 navarro 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 nev only was russia's main opposition lead. he tried to run for president in the election in 2018 that was barred from standard . he's anti corruption foundation was declared an extremist organisation and shut down than in february. last year. the valley was jailed for 2 and a half years for parole violations charges. he says we're trumped up to silence him . this is not as of right, it's her putin would like to keep alexi in prison for as long as he is in our

we are completely sure since this is hinderance order to imprison alexi. ah, there were demonstrations in several russian cities against navarro. these treatments, 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 in ukraine had been snuffed out before they started. alexa valley tried to keep up his campaigning from prison, with his lawyers, hosting messages on instagram, but that's now banned. i'm in the valley being moved to a maximum security. prison is unlikely. we're going to hear from him many years. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow, more than 2000 emergency workers are scouring the site where a boeing passenger plane crash, the in china. the china eastern airlines flight was carrying a 132 people. when it went down in one she province on monday. no survivors have
