and that's i feel and don't delay destroyed that someone just doesn't destroy my life for nothing. there has been no let up in rushes, strikes on co keys. a 3rd of the population has managed to escape, but thousands are still trapped. the mare says noah. safe don't reserve us bank got rare access to a special police unit patrolling the city. ah clark eve burns at night on this number. this is the reality for many ukrainians still left in the country. second largest city, shelled by russian forces while they slept. emergency services stretched to capacity by as shelves, rain down in the middle of the night. with our night starts with police as they patrolled the streets on the lookout for what

they say are russian saboteurs. we've been given access to this special unit of the police force that the troll the city past curfew. making sure there's no threats behind those front lines. reassuring people that the police are still operating and taking care of her gift. but nothing has prepared them for what they are doing now. oh goodness, as us over here. yeah, there, the one the where the, this is my 1st time at war. haven't experienced anything like this before. i've been to, jeanette can, lo, hunter, but what i've experienced here shocked me. we work with the people, we detain looters. we caught saboteurs. we never did anything like this. if we were not guarding the rear, it would be difficult for the ukrainian military on the front line or whatever we can do it if we come across a burning house. the constant 3rd from russian artillery is ever

present in scotland. then we see a flash of light in the sky. look in coming, he shouts. the police arrive on the scene. so they shall have just hit the police of arrived early. all the lang people know that they're here and making sure everybody is okay. i shut 130 just at once. i thought a couple, a little dog has it just hit? he asks, i knew that you've heard this morning. yes, i'm not crying. i'm not crying. she says quiet quite. he says it's going to be okay . we're here now. what you were leaving across the street windows were blown out. yes, you are. yes. are you alive?

we are witnessing a coup attempt, but it is a failed one. the national duty requires today the protection of all the people and the homeland, based on the articles of the constitution. the president is the head of state, the symbol of its unity, guarantor of its independence and continuity, and based on chapter 72 of the constitution. i announced today at this historical moment, the dissolution of the representative council to protect the state institution and to protect that unity and people. like i said, as a law professor who was elected president in 2019, when he vowed to fight corruption last year. and he sent the government including the prime minister, hisham as missy, she unfroze parliament for 30 days, giving himself executive powers. his opponents called the move unconstitutional, enlightened to a qu in december, said, promise to hold a constitutional referendum this year. and the parliamentary election in 2023. last

month the president dissolved the supreme judicial council and a new temporary one was sworn in earlier this month. tennesseans initially welcomed sites moved, but its critics have accused him of reversing efforts towards democracy after the arab spring of 20 eleven's police vote was chosen out from 2 nicea freelance journalist with us could help you with the program in a default position that the president seems to have used and says is, since he's grabbed power was that the country was under threat and as it's ongoing coo, what's your reading to any such threat to the country or it's institutions? this is a science sort of constant narrative, panic, cancer craziness of mysterious. i say it's essential cracks. i mean research, bentley, he's, he's point the finger speculators because we have very serious fan shortages. so

rather than adjusting the actual real problems, he's found that enemies hate. so, you know, this sort of, this is been a constant cycle of finding a new enemy to point the finger at to stare anger and amongst the people. and she and this, what happened today is sort of another direction and intensive ga honda, another city so. so anston fair in the country. so physically, hong laurie lee, that's a physically, he's dissolved for parliament right now the m p 's a wondering what the next move is. but come the president actually do this without confirming any sort of election date, or at least a shed jewel to whether the election might be and the constitution states that if parliament is to so there's a maximum treatments tokenize fresh of actions, a convenient the another article that means that he could

push back of the economy articles 72 could give him some wiggle room to push back at the time of having fresh elections, but certainly parliament, one of the things that probably wanting to see both special actions and that may have been calling it since so citizens against the crew, they've been calling for fresh elections as a way out of the current situation. but at the moment, he's not made any mention of that. so again, we're in a stage of uncertainty, not knowing what the next move this leads volt with thanks very much for joining us from today's it. be interesting to see how the public react as us used to break quite late on into the thing. thanks for your time. phil had him on al jazeera, the units to me, that maybe 4000000 people that now flood ukraine. how women stepping up to help out . and laughter can be the best medicine south africans are choosing comedy to help

temperatures come down along the east coast in places like new york city and washington dc, and a lot of that winter weather pushing towards the canadian maritime. now behind it, we are going to see an improvement across central areas of the u. s. and in the south, west things will start to warm up here as they dry up, down in the south. lots of warms to be found. once that storm system pushes out, but on thursday we are going to see it bring some heavy rain. so florida sweeps across further east avoiding cuba will see the showers dry up across hispaniola and for much of central america. it'll be sunshine and a few showers. ah, al jazeera world meet some extraordinary women who are making things happen that way. following the daily struggle to survive

for their families, to thrive. agents, women, st. sellers on al jazeera lou. ah, welcome back. you're watching. i'll just bear with me. so robin a reminder of all the top stories that be lol, russian shelling in northern ukraine despite rushes promised to scale back over lights, drawings, destroyed, market. sly breeds in homes is genevieve. the northwest of keith has also seen explosions and fighting. now the red cross says one of its facilities has been hit

by shelley and maria pole. the agency says it's been unable to bring in more supplies. as early in the month because of the intensity of fighting an agreement on the safe passage of humanitarian aid. to this year's president has dissolved parliament after what he says was an attempt to tie saeed made the announcement of to politicians, led by the opposition held a virtual session for the 1st time since parliament was suspended 8 months ago. the you ends that refugee agency says the number of people leaving ukraine has reached a new milestone. the un hate see our commissioner philip or grand de traveled to live, looking at how to increase support for refugees. today we reached for 1000000 refugees from ukraine, but there i observed also at the border with paul and he's not likely for now. fewer people at this moment are going out of the country. that most of those who

have left ukraine are women and children, than under 60 of stayed behind to defend the country from russian advances. most of the refugees have gone to poland, kill how good it is in shame. michelle in poland, she spoke to women helping ukrainian refugees on a scale lot seen in decades. julio don scafa her children and her friend are fleeing rushes, war and ukraine. again. the 1st time they laughed was after russian president vladimir putin invaded dunbar. this is not our 1st time to leave it. we left him 2014. after this time, we want to give our true amended best deal and we don't want to raise them in the republic that is being destroyed dealer. so julio hopes to make it to toronto, canada, or she heard there is a large ukrainian diaspora. this time i left my house to be on the hughley. i left her older son, his parents and husband there among the more than 4000000 ukrainians that have left since the latest conflict began. more than a month ago,

often with few belongings were plan of where to go. next, train stations and abandon shopping malls have been converted to shelters. and like the women filling them, most are staffed by women. the number of refugees fleeing with in europe is unprecedented since world war 2 with the majority heading to poland. and just like more than 70 years ago, it's once again women who are stepping up to assist a lot of women in this particular munitions factory. the scenes are reminiscent of europe in world war 2 when women replaced men in factories so they could fight. things are different now, but also similar in ukraine. president vladimir zalinski has asked civilians to fight alongside ukraine's military and men under 60 must stay in ukraine to take up arms. so it's women keeping things running inside ukraine. and in countries like

poland where they escape, and women usually work at home with children. and now they are involved, they want to win this war. they are doing what they can and this is in a woman's nature to help what i forget to promote that the conflict in ukraine is fresh. so dated is not yet exist on just how many women are now working. introduce tional male, non combat roles, but it's estimated to be in the millions. love else love. oh, crane. great. our men are fighting for us. they are brain. well, that's the you not a machine that them when you are you, but they aren't the only ones just as they've drought history. women are once again mobilizing into a silent army of support. with kimberly hell, kit al jazeera shimmer shall. poland though they are in special envoy for yemen, says the saudi coalition is all for the cease. fire is

a step in the right direction. that unilateral pulls and fighting is now underway, alongside talks in the sandy capital reared, but the hu fees of boycotting the negotiations organized by the gulf corporation council, the rebel groups calling for a neutral venue instead. the saudi c sar is due to last through the fasting month of ramadan, which starts this weekend side that will have car has more on the talks in read. we cannot expect a big or a breakthrough for the folks because this is not the 1st time got the the, the year many parties sit together face to face. there are like 6 main topics here in this talk at the fact that with the, the military issues which, which they say it should work on the fire and all the parties who addressed this emit in the, in facade the importance of a truth and a cease fire,

so that the parties listened to each other and see the prospects of the fun in the war and build in a political, a sustainable stability in d. m. and we know that the yemen, the situation is that you're, you're right. and, and the other topic which was raised here this morning. it's the, the, the economic and the humanitarian, the human tuition in yemen. no numbers have been mentioned here as to as to how much or how these aids and that you might have a will be sent to yemen. but all the, the, the, the, the figures who talked of a here in this, in the, in the importance of the urgency of in yemen. yes. mean dal and is an advocacy and humanitarian policy adviser for humanity and inclusion. it's that conversation that works in areas of poverty and conflict. now she says,

a short term si, fi isn't enough to ease people suffering. and we welcome all efforts towards judge and measures that basically could alleviate human suffering. but it is yet to be seen. if this cease fire will be respected and if it will be expected, how long it will be of help. there have been many mentions of sea fires in the past, but until now and none of them is really truly materialized in a good way for the many people we've been here for 7 years right now. so it is yet to be seen how this will turn out. and although i know it could have a really significant impact for a short period of time on human suffering, there are many other things even that are ongoing, that cannot be solved by a short ceasefire. there is acute economic decline. there is widespread displacement and hunger that have been caused by 7 years of cumulative and what armed conflict. and this cannot be sold by for a cease fire. so what we would like to see is that the buyer is a 1st step towards maybe sustainable piece. and an immediate decision of all

service is what the many people need in order to recover their lives. a parish called has heard evidence from the main suspect of the 2015. the tenants which killed 130 people. so law of the salaam, said he chose not to designate his suicide belt, but detectives found the explosive device was faulty. the belgian bold frenchman is thought to be the only survivor of the attack team. he previously told the colt the gun and bama tanks. what inspired by i sold natasha butler. how small from the french capital, solid to slum arriving in the court in a black t shirt wearing a mask. and at 1st he said that he wasn't going to cooperate. he wasn't going to speak today. he told the judge that it is his right to remain silent, violent that he doesn't have to justify himself. the judge said that he was disappointed because this is the 1st day the follow up to some will actually be questions about the events of november. 13th or the night of the attacks were 130

people were killed or right in the heart of the french capital. up until now, this trial has focus very much on the months leading up to that night on november 13th. now the seller to slant though, seems to have changed his mind. he has been decided to start answering some questions specifically about this explosive felt there been questions as to what exactly was solid to slums. a role on the night of the attacks. we know that he drove a call with the attackers to the various locations in paris. we know that that car was late to respond to the north of paris, and he also abandoned discarded an explosive belt. when he was asked by the low noise about that explosive belt was sala. to slum said that he decided never to detonated. but he decided that he didn't want to go through that he said, not for cowardice or fair. he said i just didn't want to. now the thing is,

is to the police investigation, police to frown, that explosive belt was faulty, but it didn't work that it could not be detonated about is not the line that followed. the slime is taking. you told the court that it was his decision not to destination louisiana trying to pick up security after a 3rd shooting in less than a week. 5 people were killed on tuesday when the gun when opened fire in benny barrack, near television, and he was shot dead by a police officer. 6, others died in 2 earlier attacks. the hundreds of palestinians took to the streets for the annual land. they protested israel and the occupied palestinian territories . the day marked israel a seizure of palestinian atlanta. the no, it's been commemorated every year. 976 after is ready please shot the 6 of the palestinian israeli protest as hundreds away and arrested south american away july. and please arrested at least 55 people jury day of nationwide protests. the crowd threw fire bulbs and stones of police. the violence

broke out on the anniversary of the police killings of 2 brothers who were protesting the against o peter shay regime, and 1985. at least 5 officers injured. the government says the unrest this year was not as violent as in previous years. so the african attainment industry is able to help again, after the pandemic organizes of a comedy festival hope laughter will help bring some relief to many frustrated by rising fuel prices and other day the challenges have matessa has more after the t a break because of the curve at 19 pandemic, live stand up. comedy shows a back people frustrated by rising fuel prices, unemployment, or how the war in ukraine could further hurt. so the effect is economy could just laugh, even if it's only for a few hours. if you're traveling, they say, if you want to get to know a place quickly, go to

a comedy show. because you find all the stereotypes you find how people see things, how they, you know, how they see things that you have in your everyday life with the see differences i seos to laugh at us. government has removed more cove at 19 luptime restrictions that means stadiums, theaters, and music venues can resulting to people who are vaccinated or present a valid negative pcr test. a lot of audiences haven't been able to go to live events, you know, and sit, never mind with your friends, but with complete strangers as well. so there's that initial sort of like, okay, we don't know what to expect, but i think once a show gets off the ground and people relax and people after that 1st laugh you're not, i mean, you can just feel the tension is gone. i don't have the art world was he taught by lockdown, travel band and social distal st. comedy. lineups like the annual johannesburg international committee festival suffered for the bi limits

possible in, in uganda we had hierarchies of essential walkers. so they were, they booked us that essential them media people cause little guys was, was printed allies. then there was so many other people than entertain as what the bottom were the last people to be actual opened up into the economy. and it was very, very tough. after his popular comedy celebration is an opportunity for comedy lovers to finally meet face to face again. what countries been taken all read, listening to maybe about body to travel again, when i hope this means they'll see, be able to look more at mazda and around the world. what they used to do before the end. it could be some time before entertainment venues are packed to full capacity . because my d lovers, he has there, they are just so happy they can do this again. some comment leaf is just what they needed had m a t os algebra,
