they've hit dozens of ukrainian military facilities and destroyed arms and fuel depos. and then a 2nd round of talks between negotiators from keith and moscow is scheduled to take place on monday. this time in turkey. same astronomy begins our coverage now from the city of levine. the day after multiple russian missiles hit targets in levine, in the west of ukraine president for latimer zalinski demanded. world leaders give his country more weapons, his tone taunting at times to lead back. it is plain for ukraine. it is tanks far with state. it is missile defenses. it is anti ship wetmans. that's what our partners have, just gathering dust. not after all, all this is not only for ukraine's freedom, but for europe's freedom. we have already been waiting for 31 days. so who is running the euro? atlantic community, is it still moscow?

and because of their threat, ah, on sunday, across ukraine. prayers for victory. and an end to the war. li mom is she visited his him. my mother is 68. she desperately wants to go home. she doesn't believe that the home is not there anymore. in our village, whole streets were destroyed by russian tanks. after a month of russian bombs and shelling. not everyone is willing to turn the other cheek at the motion movement. our military leads weapons because we can't stop the war with diplomacy. diplomacy doesn't work. we don't know putins reasons and we cannot convince him by talking of them. i don't know his reasons, but he is against the whole world. oh. in her son, protesters still being tear gassed. say demonstrations have pushed russian forces back, and they are not in complete control of the city. i building in car keys

more over night shilling further devastating. a city already heavily battered by russian strikes and more evacuations. from mariano. still the worst effected city of the war. the latest attacks on levine came after moscow announced plans to refocus. it's military on the don boss region. live eves, mayor, and it's residents say the missile strikes are proof. russia can not be trusted. you can still smell the fuel in the air 24 hours after russian missiles hit the storage facility just over there, pretty much destroying it completely. now this fuel depot, the fire that was here, has been put out firefighters have managed to make sure that the facility is now safe. and we have these large fuel trucks here on site to transport the rest of the fuel. that is still at that depot, away from this area. this is a mixed residential industrial area. and that fuel needs to be removed from here

because this location is now considered unknown target. the facility is still standing, but structurally compromised, salvaging the remaining fuel is important for the war effort and for the safety of this neighborhood, one of the latest to be targeted in this conflict. same basra, the ultra 0 live eve or russia has been honoring wounded soldiers. it says have fought valiantly in an operation. it maintains is on track. as there is hashanah. albert has more on this. now from moscow, these russian soldiers were wounded in the fighting in ukraine. thus shown here, attending a music concert held in a hospital in another hospital deputy defense minister alexander foremen awards the one did with madeline for their service. away the plan is to return home as soon as possible and to continue with my career as

a civilian to study. i wish for patient the whole world honestly, because the current situation affected not just me. my father's in the military, my grand paris, in the military. yes. when the president vladimir putin has also praised members of the national guard, taking part in what russia describes as a special operation in the dumbass region of south eastern ukraine. was he legally comrades, indeed, combat conditions involve increased risk? i am well aware of how you act in the situation. highly courageous, the and professionally skilfully and fearlessly you resolve the most complicated task said before you competently and precisely while shrink personal heroism. russia has dismiss report, its operation has been stalled. the ministry of defense said its military campaign is running as planned, weakening ukraine's military capabilities and paving the way for his forces to focus more on liberating areas in the don bus region. leon, it passes nick leader,

the self proclaimed la guns people's republic in easton, ukraine is now saying he plans a referendum on the separatist regions, reunification with russia given what will be the future of our republic. i think that in the near future effort, and i'm going to be held on the territory of the republic in which the people will exercise that absolute constitution right and express their opinion on joining the russian federation. i'm absolutely sure that this will be the case. last month, russia formerly recognized the guns underneath as independent republics, moscow wools, its operation will only, and when ukraine becomes what it calls a neutral state, acknowledges crimea as part of russia and recognizes the self proclaimed republics of the guns. underneath. hush bought a bottle al jazeera moscow brought him his lance. he says he is willing to consider neutrality, demilitarization and some kind of a in,

in negotiations with russia to end the conflict. the ukranian president spoke to several independent russian, you tube channels and news websites. saying russians must know the truth about the invasion. the question is warned. russian media not to publish the interview, but zalinski shared the hour and a half interview in full on his own social media channels. roches communications watched oxide had started an investigation and to the outlets. was lensky was laying out his terms out of talk scheduled in turkey on monday, were so sorry to has more on that now from istanbul took express, never had a phone call with the russian president vladimir putin, and that they have reads the next round of the p, stalls to take place in a stumbled turkey for now the only only nato countries who have still good relations with both parties. turkish walk into the russian flies. there are no sanctions against russia. the russian,

all the guards are welcomed in charge. teach the trade still in place. the gases for export is still in place and the officials runker are defining charges position as your grain, but not against russia. so both your region and the russian leadership. so for have people have repeatedly said that they appreciate charging balance to the credit. so investors, it seems that the negotiations taking place in a one of the largest needs. remember, symbol is also quite important of the neutral state as well. so it's easy to mitigate or to assess and say that is false here of evidence or facials and the sources that they have talked to. they said that they're not expecting anything media to deal or not any breakthrough. so in a short time, but they said that the chance of the success regarding this piece dogs depends quietly on on their parties,

flexibility and the developments ukraine. parliament is saying russian forces have find a nuclear research facility in the eastern city. her keys, ukrainian military says it's recaptured, a nearby town called trustee on it's one of its most significant gains. acid bag is in harkey, which has been on the heavy bombardment. the ukrainian forces say that they're pushing back against the russians. now they say that they have seen a changing tactics from the russians. in some cases, they say the russians are retreating and in others, they say that the russians are digging in and out read the ukrainian military. and they took us to the outskirts of cookies just outside of the show, to some territory that had got back from the russians. now the question is, what is left of that territory? now what we witnessed was, the edge of the town was completely decimated, the russians had dropped bonds there. and it's the question is when real ukrainian citizens are chatting because the war is still ongoing. and even though ukraine force is managed to take her back,

it's still not completely safe. and i here in the city of harkey, the authorities here say that they've been very busy trying to put out fires because of the russian shelling it's completely carrying on throughout the night throughout the morning. constant going on and the fly service has been struggling to protect those fires. and yesterday there was a warning about the toxic air in the city because of that constant shelling and the fires falling on from that. now the authorities also say that the latest discount in terms of children in the city is $45.00 and the building behind me. we've heard that the native desk type from that that, that was the 1st of march, nearly a month later. the discount is $28.00, but the russians have had tossed killed schools. i'm playground something that we need, but also they've been using cluster munitions, which is highly controversial, especially in civilian areas. well ad arnold is a research fellow philippine security, the royal united stuff institute and military expert. he joined us now from london

. and i 1st of all, ask what you make of these remarks from the head of ukrainian military intelligence that rushed, seeking to humbly divide and occupy parts of ukraine. yes, is referring to the russians, consolidating, not just military power or political power within east and in the hands can in the 2nd, you just had a related to the referendum that might happen in those areas to essentially make sure that those churches become costs. are russia but also allows then we're sure to have a stake in the politics of ukraine essentially. and it's in order to make this quite a long conflict, quite static, as we've seen before, as we saw from my car, maybe in 2014. does that suggest that while the russian advance might be very slow

or stalling in places, it still has the capacity to continue with its military offensive, even if it does end up being this slow grinding war of attrition? well, cindy, russian offensive it her how stoles, essentially cause the almost 4 axis in north and then also the northeast and then the east and the south that the logistics just couldn't support or, or forward, frances, and that's why we saw on friday if the russian military suggesting that they would then only just going to focus in the east, they can probably only have an offensive power on one of those areas. it's worth noting that the ukrainian forces to the east that the nigger river ra, a large contingent of ukrainian forces and also, i'm some of their best troops or it looks like what she's trying to position as a opportunistic military objective to try and circle those forces and yet we see

cranium present. random is zalinski, quite irritated with weston allies for not providing more effective military support the country. if he doesn't get more weapons, all the equipment that he's asking for soon will the ukrainian forces struggle to maintain their positions against the russians perhaps. but it's worth noting the if we do see this, russian focus in east metabolizing, perhaps pressure or less pressure on key if it means that the ukrainians can actually more effectively reinforce their forces over on the east the ukrainians have been putting in very effective counter attacks to make sure the key of can't be encircled, and while the city can't be in circled by the russians, they have been from the lincoln. most of the weapons that the west are providing back because it's only a laundry from poland and that's the shortest distance. and obviously they don't

care to for if that stabilizes a little bit, it means that they can actually start to put, push more of the weapon systems to the east. their soldiers, like i said, they are very, very effective soldiers. they are very well experienced and they're very well built in, so that will just sort of probably see that the majority of the fighting now in that area. and i guess if he can secure a land cargo between russia and crimea, that might allow that president putin to declare victory back home and paps and precipitate the, the disengagement of his forces from other parts of the country. yeah. again, yes, i think the stars, the russian force is now we're starting to try and secure military objectives, the beacon that can be sold as political objectives barcode. so that is a consolidation of the position within the south. however, it is worth noting that this, you know,

be quite fragile and that at any time that they can get that long bridget, ukrainians can you know they've been pushing in very effective counter attacks currently at the moment in cas on so. so again, if ukrainians can start to focus on specific areas and bring that with their power, said that then she did, the russian position in the south still looks relatively weak. thank you very much, donald for sharing your thoughts on the story with us. thank you. we are following other stories making headlines this. our pakistan's prime minister in ron con, rallies large crowds of supporters out of no confidence votes in parliament. near mas, gen, to achieve vows to destroy anti could demonstrate as fighting to and military rule is the country marks armed forces day and the in school at the west indies, and sure, england stapleton to the well has championship title, and you will be here late. so with that story,

ah, israeli police say they have killed 2 attackers who reportedly up and fi on a main street and had dera about 50 kilometers from tel aviv to civilians have reportedly been killed. and 2 offices have been injured and are in a critical condition. harry forced it is following these developments. he joins us now from western slim. what is the latest information on the attack? harry? well, certainly that it is being treated as a major attack by the israeli security forces and government that's evidenced by the fact that the prime minister natalie bennett has himself traveled to the scene to see the aftermath. and to get a briefing, what is being reported? what we understand took place was that these 2 gunman appeared on the street in this northern town of dara, close to the coast, north of television, and that they open fire on an area around a bus stop at a time when

a bus was slowing and apparently letting people off, they were israeli security forces among that group of people and that 2 people were shot and killed in that initial attack. there is video of the men continuing to fire at other targets and other people during the course of this attack, a pistol apparently aimed at passing cyclist, a prone, injured or dead person on the ground. stripped of his or her assault rifle. and that in turn was then used by the attackers. now what the police are saying is that they were under cover offices, 2 of them eating at a restaurant nearby. and they heard the gunfire came and confronted and had a shootout with the 2 attackers who were then killed. and certainly there is video that seems to corroborate that, at least in terms of a prolonged bout of heavy gunfire in the area. this is the 2nd sort

of mass attack of this kind. all the other one in the shape in the south a few days ago was an attack using ramming and stabbing. but again, multiple people killed in what is being linked to an isis ideology. and not instance, again, there are some reports that the palestinian israeli suspects and this attack also had some isis links and there are investigations on the deed rates going on. it was believed to be the home town of almost some in northern israel. and why is the timing of this incident importance? well i think for 2 reasons, really one being that there have been calls from factions, from hamas, and others for greater instability and, and more such attacks in the run up to the confidence that we're going to see in april of ramadan. the passover and easter and indeed that has been an uptick in

both the sorts of setting. so i'd say regular kind of stabbing attacks, often loan individuals involved in those combined with what we see now in the last few days. these 2 seemingly more premeditated and different style attacks. and of course it's coming on the eve of a major summit, being hosted by israel, the foreign ministers of 4 arab countries, the united arab emirates, bahrain morocco, and egypt meeting with the foreign secretary, foreign minister of israel. yeah. lockheed in southern israel. it's something that's been opposed by hamas and islamic jihad who have both praised this latest attack on the eve of this summit. and as well as those 5 ministers, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin will also be there after he held talks with these ready government. and indeed the palestinian president. on sunday i got a couple of issues. the 1st one, not to the 1st time a you

a secretary of state and an israeli prime minister, side by side affirming their alliance. but the smiles were strain. and even personal praise for the u. s. ambassador to israel was met with what sounded like soccer and his deeply to the relationship between stacy either if it was a difficult meeting, the cause was clear. israel's opposition to reviving the iran nuclear deal, which it says, who make it easier for iran to attain a nuclear weapon. oh, israel also oppose is one of the moves. the u. s. is reportedly ready to make to get the deal done. removing ron's revolutionary guard corps from its list of foreign terror organizations, their proxy, the hoodies just this week, and carried out a rhythmic attack on saudi arabia. i hope the united states will hear their concern voices from the region, israel's, and others on this very important issue. his guest try to make the case that while the preferred means may differ,

the goal was shared. there is no daylight between us on the fundamental proposition that iran must never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. ah, and whether there is a return to the j. c. p, o, a, the iran nuclear agreement or not. that principle will not change, nor will our commitment to it. but as the details of this long negotiated deal solidify the daylight between israel and the u. s. becomes ever more glaring and there are differences to on a separate issue. israel stance on the war and ukraine. israel has provided humanitarian aid, but it's prime minister hasn't condemned russia's invasion out of a public wish to be a mediator and less public concerns about any changes to russia's role. and israel's interests in syria for israel's foreign minister, has condemned the invasion and promised israel won't be used to bypass sanctions. but there's been so far, little evidence of that in terms of policy after a raft of israeli government meetings, a stop in ramallah in the occupied west bank last year, blinking,

committed to reopening the u. s. consulate that dealt with palestinian relations so far, it hasn't happened despite the crimes of israeli occupation that have reached the stage of ethnic cleansing and racial discrimination as considered by human rights organizations as well as its continuous aggressions. we don't find any party that holds israel accountable. lincoln's visit is not yet over the foreign ministers of the u. e. morocco, bahrain in egypt, joining the israelis and americans for a summit. and the southern neg, does it a chance for israel to promote its normalization with some arab states and continue to press the us on iran. hurry for that, i'll just 0 west jerusalem. walter's prime minister robert baylor is claiming victory and the country's general election. this is the 3rd success of win for the labor party and a ballot fuss it took over from joseph moscow 2 years ago, who quit during a political crisis, sparked by the murder of an investigative journalist. low to turn out was the

lowest malter seen in decades. anger is grind on the french island of course, the croft the death of a nationalist sleet at last monday, protest is set fire near police barracks that is on cologne. it died after he had been assaulted in a french prison. he was serving a life sentence for the murder of a government official. nicholas hat brings us more now from busty in corsica. so right behind me, just earlier corsican nationalists burnt, a french flag, and in response you can see what's happening right now. the police continue to fire tear gas, but look at them. people are not running away, they're staying put, and they're gaining in numbers. this is a defiant crowd, a lot of our sick and nationalists. why are they here? well, on friday when there was the funeral of the course that can nationalist even colona, a man that was in a french prison, but was killed by a fellow cellmate. here inside this barracks police officers

sang the french national anthem. and at the end of it, they said we got him, him referring to even grown up, and that video of them chanting the national anthem and saying those words went on social media. and this has caused this protest that you're seeing right now. people are angry, but it's not just about even current enough. it's about corsican identity in corsica. nationalism. this small mediterranean island feels far away from paris. a lot of people here have been singing corsican songs in defiance. they want greater control over their island, whether it be the economy, the education, the language that people use. this is what is at stake, and this is happening just weeks before the presidential elections. o,

salvador is declared to state emergency after a wave of gang related crime is left dozens of people dead, gang violence, his sword across of salvatore, with police reporting 62 deaths on saturday alone. emergency declaration restricts gatherings and expands police powers, lying for arrests without warrant john is most popular city. shanghai is announced, plans to implement a staggered lockdown starting from sunday in the eastern part of the city known as pu dong. there'll be a locked down for 5 days. those living in shanghai, western half bush, she will face similar measures at the stars of april. cities, i'm to 26000000 people. covered 19 infections have been rising in recent weeks. the head of me and mas army has promised to wipe how opposition to military rule. he made the comments in a speech to mark armed forces, day restaurants. louis, now reports is an event that much of the country won't be celebrating. oh,

a grand parade in the capital navy door armed forces day is a day of pomp and circumstance for the myanmar military. but for many of this, the celebrations mosque a brutal reality. these are images from the northern. so again, region people here say soldiers from the me on my military came to their village in mid march and set fire to their homes. are sure one soldier said burn the house on another side, don't burnett. i asked them where i should go if they burnett, and they told me to sleep underneath a mango tree. i had no time to take anything from my house. my whole body was shaking. the giant who has previously denied its troops committed arson. instead, it's accused antique who opponents of starting the fires. in yan gone. the hustle and bustle of city life has returned with a few tell tale signs of military rule. antique inter resistance may not be obvious,

but it's there. most people are afraid to speak publicly. oh yeah, there is no institution that we can compare them with. they are committing the lowest and most brutal acts acts though we can't even imagine for the assistance association for political prisoners says more than a 1700 people have been killed by security forces since the king. many protesters have fled to jungle training camps to take up arms against the military. that is one big miscalculation that the hunter maids. they misjudged their own people. thinking that if you killed many people, all the resistance will die down is has not happens. so it shows that they don't understand their own people and they don't know how to, in this present conflict. in his speech on sunday military leader minute lang vowed to annihilate those fighting to overthrow military rule. many political analysts

say they fear the crisis and violence in myanmar is likely to continue florence louis al jazeera. it was an ease our life from london. more still to bring you on the program. we don't think ukraine's cultural heritage now of course under threat with the invasion there in esco, he's urging russia not to target crucial cultural science. rolling out the red carpet for hollywood biggest night. his organizes tried to make the off his more engaging and in support the for you, i'd well to come see a spectacular finish in switzerland. ah, after a rough ride this winter looks like we've got a blast of warmth coming in the days and weeks ahead for turkey. hello everyone,

a different sub between the western cape and the eastern cape cape town. 22 port elizabeth, 35. that's 10 degrees above average. enjoy season. ah . in nigeria, life you say beat or to use on day of for boy is one of you with rice. i do not know an individual that is followed in nigeria like football. my nigeria is soccer. my nigeria is your development manager is this is my nigeria. my, my jerry on al jazeera when the news breaks, still came through the building, trying to see if there's anybody else chopped inside when people need to be heard. and the story tones, i feel like i wasn't really awake until i went to more of it. definitely changed my

life in a good way with exclusive interviews and in depth reports and not hardly him, but he left here because al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentary and lied nice. lou ah ah, welcome back. a main developments this our now and ukraine's military intelligence chief says russia wants to cough his country and to, because it's failing to take it over completely good. hello, or did all of his promising a long campaign of guerilla warfare in the russian held regions. meanwhile, moscow's rejected reports that its advance is stalling. russian forces say they've

had dozens of ukrainian military facilities and destroyed arms and fuel that post. under other top story this how is writing police? they'd kill 2 attackers. he reported the open fire on a main street and had dera about 50 kilometers from tel aviv to civilians have reportedly been killed. now the scale of russia's bombardment of the city of mario pool in ukraine is becoming clearer by the day some residence in the besieged southern city of return from taking refuge in bunkers to find. no homes completely destroyed. officials say more than a $100000.00 people still need to be evacuated most without food, water and power. yeah, yeah. i've lived here since i was born, my husband as well. we got married here and had babies. what now what is left for us? i don't want to go anywhere from mary upon, but there's no way to live here. a russian attacks have also devastated northern areas of the capital key as many people fled when the invasion 1st started. but now

life is starting to retain and places and long con reports. oh, this isn't just an act of faith. it's a moment of escape from the war and some semblance of a more normal life. slowly in tiny, but significant ways life in keith is returning. oh, in the early days of the war, most people fled the city, some 50 percent left according to authorities. oh, now summer returning and the church is once again becoming a community focal point. oh, faith is the most important thing right now. more important than anything else. i've been coming here for 20 years and i love god more than anything. it is. i believe in my faith and with faith we were when we all have our front lines. i am a doctor that my wall. the church is playing his part as well for his own skills. st. blood in her church was built in 18. 82. it's witness much upheaval,

and now it's a heritage site, protected by the city. ukraine's orthodox church was re established in 1990 when it was part of the soviet union. and st. helena may church still to this day, plays a crucial role in society. oh, it's been open throughout the war, but the last couple of sundays they have witnessed more of the faithful coming to pray. this could almost be a regular sunday service, but there's one crucial difference. there are more people in uniform. oh, there are no accurate figures. family people returned back to key, but if you go to places where people might gather, they are actually gathering whether is a church like this, or even a restaurant in the middle of downtown people are coming back and that's a sign of confidence. and inside, it's a moment of reflection and quiet belief, but as they leave the reality of a capital city war isn't very far away in wrong con. oh,

to 0. keep in escrow is urging russia not to target ukrainian places of worship and cultural sites. the un body is express concern over the sense of fear cathedral in care of the gold dumbed cathedral dates by a 1000 years and is significant to both ukrainian and a russian orthodox churches. another unesco psy under threat is the monastery of caves, which features underground churches and relics of st. dating back to the 10th century . joseph stalin associates its cossack barrack style of architecture with you, quine nationalism, and tried to destroy all examples of it. and the fighting is already damaged by ben yar in key of the site where almost 34000 jews were massacred in world war 2. it's now holocaust memorial. d u. n bodies. former director general wants describe the tactic of targeting sites like this as cultural cleansing, olenka. bethany is an associate professor of savannah and ukrainian studies at

university of cambridge, and she joins us now. so can i start by asking you what is being done to protect important cultural and historical sites in monuments in ukraine? well, i know that out, west organizations such as unesco and world heritage fund, in the monument organizations that deal with monuments in architectural preservation are trying to raise awareness of sites throughout ukraine so that these sites won't be bombed. so to have them marked with the blue shield, for example, to prevent them from damage. and i know that the ukrainians themselves are working very hard at trying to remove objects from displays and patting them and hiding them. or trying to make sure that someone is on site to protect the site from any pillaging and all of my colleagues that i've spoken to have told me that they will

protect these historical sites and monuments with their lives. but having said all that, there's very little that can be done when you have missiles flying in into urban centers and damaging the urban infrastructure of cities. so if you could stand around, these could be drills for as long as you want, but that will start. yes, this is the fear, is that in the capital give where the russian bonds for stoled, if they resort to using heavy fire power, that is indiscriminate, than very little can be done to, to protect these important sites. but it's not just about the physical destruction of, of many of these places from what you're saying, you also there is a lot of concern about the, the looting of important works of art. well, if places are abandoned, then you might have looting. so it's always,

i think this is just part of standard procedure that you take the most valuable objects for museums and you try to ship them elsewhere. i think the problem with the war in ukraine is that no one fully believed that it was going to happen so that the turnaround time impact is really short, even though the war has been going on since 2014, because of the type of war. the. so progression of the russian forces and then the piling up of the forces on the border. no one actually thought that this invasion would take the scale that it has because it doesn't make any sense. it, there is no reason why putting should be invading ukraine. so really the work in putting things away in the hiding and trying to protect them began once the war started, or at least so i'm told. and very few of the collections, as far as i know, have been moved from, for example,

museums in k of somewhere else in ukraine or to safety, which is the usual procedure in times of war. if we do see these sites targeted or destroyed, what does that mean for the city of social, cultural, historical fabric of the country, just give us a sense of what will have been lost. so i think you started saying this earlier, even before i spoke, the issue is that ukraine is rich in monuments and rich in history. so as monuments from pre history to the present and out there are various periods of her history represented in various styles and various types of buildings and they're scattered throughout ukraine. the issue is, are that ukraine has only been independent for 30 years. so the process of

recording these monuments photographing these monuments has only begun and started . so once we lose this cultural heritage, we lose it for the entire globe and world. we never get to recreate the history of this land. because up until now, the history of this land has always been told through a russian lands. so even if, for example, we have these unesco heritage sites. ukraine is only now beginning to discover all of its inheritance. that brings it closer to western europe. that gives it broke forms. all of this has been neglected during the period of the russian empire. and during the soviet period, when the idea was to try to force this sort of bruce of billing identity on the ukrainian people to emphasize what was similar with to russia rather than what was different in the lands of not just ukraine, but also below loose. so for example,

are the bombing of the city of libya that started yesterday. it immediately tears at the hearts of all ukrainians, because speak, city core of believe is a multi cultural center that has buildings from all periods represents various religions represents various ethnic communities. the buyer brand cultural site, i another unesco heritage, a site that would be lost forever without all of these structures even. but being fully recorded are link above me. thank you very much. you're welcome. now hollywood is praying for the biggest night of the year. the academy awards will honor the film industry's best atmosphere soundly later on, but the war and ukraine is obviously expected to headline the show. as hydro cancer reports from los angeles. as hollywood puts on

a lamb or is best, bombs may be falling on ukraine. the oscars executive producer says the awards show will respectfully acknowledge the uncomfortable juxtaposition. people in hollywood are very upset about it. and i'm expecting all kinds of expressions of support to occur throughout the evening. but the nice overall mood will be light the shows. producers have promised beginning with this year's 3 female comedian host phone. we're already aware that we're now moved nominated film is netflix power of the dog in contention for best picture and 11 other categories. it's facing an underdog challenge from apple tv coda, which makes oscar history with it's almost all death cast. a best picture when for either film would mark the 1st time a streaming only movie takes the honor. the question hanging over at all is,

will they watch? last year's show drew 10400000 viewers, the lowest audience on record, and fewer than half that of the year before the academy is now making desperate efforts to help the oscars reclaim their cultural relevance. it's through everything at the long, see what sticks that include the controversial decision to cut out a live award presentation in lesser known categories like editing and hair and makeup. in their place, the producers of introduced new categories which are powered by social media. their collaborations with users on social media and fans of the oscar, the fan favorite oscars moment. producers hope to make the academy awards more engaging and in the best picture nomination of get another non english film, the japanese drive my car to make the awards appealing to a more global audience. those challenges will be unfold display as hollywood try to make a come back on the oscar stage. heidi joe castro al jazeera los angeles or

it should fit williams is a film critic and commentator in jersey, why skype from london. so you're saying it's hollywood biggest night of the year, but it doesn't feel as relevant as it once was. the solute clean no doubt that the oscars have lost momentum. you mention the 10000000 last year, this was down from 42000000 in 2005, and indeed the highlight was titanic in 1998, which was 87000000. but the problem, of course, has also been the length of the ceremony. and also of course, the competition streaming. will people watch these awards as they used to? it would seem that it's a definite channel and you've got to want to sykes regina king de, me, shoe mazda 3 house to the last couple of years. there's been no host the academy on looking for a formula that appeals to a wide audience. and i mean,

they must ensure that film clips are relatively long, the musical numbers, some of which were cut last year, that appeal and also, i mean, in the panoramic, these are blended spectacles. so surely, the fashion, the grammar movies have something to offer. so 2 times so that the losing view is that they lost his audience. he was saying drop by 50 percent compared to a year earlier. why are people not tuning? and is it just about that the circumstances of at pandemic and, and perhaps it happening as the backdrop of warn ukraine. but then also the very important streaming point you are making competition from netflix and apple. and there are also other reasons as the academy a bit out of touch with the public. well, the academy is desperate to reconnect because it has been because of the pandemic consoles. what you have got is

a most amazing close grace for best picture between the power of the dog, which is a mesmerizing western set in montana, the 9020s, but seems of a lot of deception and so forth. and also the charming little budget code of from apple childhood deaf adults. and i mean, you couldn't have to walk with that movie. so would this interest people, i hope that also the fact that top stars will be presenting the fact that it is glamorous and also fulfill windows that benefits the fell magic. does a performa for the rest of the film. those are showing whatever it's on television or whether it turns to screams. and also every proposal wins and oscar benefits enormously. we expect will smith 6 times nominated to pick up best act of the been to come back for part of the dog could spring a surprise for king richard richard. excellent. and we also expect jessica chest

pain for the eyes of tammy faye, or walk downs for the best supporting performers. try cancer, death factor for supporting actor an area under the bows for west side story, which was a brilliant film which hasn't done well. and also the 3rd nominee for the 3rd to winner off i would say certainly jane campion, for best director for part of the dog and done certainly drive my car for best foreign movie. those appear to be locks. the excitement is who in best picture, how, okay, and can i also ask you because economy is increased its membership, and many of the members from the streaming industry is, you know, is that something of a catch 20 to that in allowing stream is to compete in order to stay relevant and yet it's that distinction that maps makes the the award some think special. well of course i think they've had to come to terms with the competition from streamers. so

really you take no choice. on the other hand, what is is i think very, very significant is here. you've got the oscars at the time of the pad. i make something that spectacular, something that may spring a few surprises, something that usually has tremendous amounts of publicity. i mean, it can be irresistible to what i've always been absolutely fascinated by, but it is true crime demick the. busy war we will have to see how successful this year is because a, b, c, which broadcasts the articles, has cut it to 3 hours. and there's no doubt that the academy y'all waiting with bated breath to see where the people come. for example, decide they want to see the greater show. hello. it's still you'll be getting in line to try to non are thank you very much. richard fitzwilliam is film critic and commentator joining us that from london. jack, you still had on the news,
