aligned groups to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to go investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah. here watching the news, our life from a headquarters in ohio. eddie now gave that coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine's president describes russia as evil, with no limits after a rocket attack on a train station kills 50 people. the european commission president travels to keep offering ukraine a chance to fast track e u membership. economic turmoil from

peru to sterling come as the united nations as the war in ukraine has pushed food prices to record highs. world wide, pakistan's prime minister says he's disappointed by the court ruling that rejected his bid to block, had no confidence motion against him, and been supported stay 2 of the mosses. beauty stores his make, their move that august. the national web is now a 2 way ties will believe well come to the news. our. the kremlin is denying responsibility for what ukraine says was a russian rocket attack on a train station. children are among at least 50 people killed and dozens injured and crime, a tourist. the city in eastern ukraine as an evacuation center for thousands escaping rushes invasion separatists in the breakaway region of john yeske say, what happened is ukrainian provocation. ukraine's president is describing russia as

quote evil with no limits. this is an ordinary railway, terminal crowded with people waiting for trains to be evacuated to safe areas. they hit these people. there are witnesses, there are videos, there are remnants of the missiles and dead people. again, this is just an ordinary railway station, just an ordinary town in the east of ukraine. this is how russia came to protect the dumbass region, how they viewed the protection of the russian speaking population, or russia is denying that it's responsible for the rocket attack and cram a tourist as dorsey jabari reports from moscow. the russian defense ministry has issued statements to all day saying that the accusations made by the government are provocative and absolutely wrong. and that the russian military had no activities around that area on friday. and in fact, the fragments of the missiles that have been found around the crematory train station indicate that this way a missile that's often used by the ukrainian military. and that's

a distance tusker, you miss all that the russians do not. 5 have in there also the moments in ukraine, they also are accusing the ukrainian military of carrying out this attack in an attempt to disrupt the exodus of civilians from that area in eastern ukraine. the defense miniature also highlighted the fact that this message is also you have been previous attacks at last one being on march 14th in a civilian area in don. yes, region in eastern ukraine again, where 17 people were killed. they say that this is certainly a provocation on their part, and that the russian military had nothing to do with this. and they now also share details that they believe these new cells were launch from a, an area about 45 kilometers south west of mac or chrome, of course. and that the russians are not operating anywhere near that. european commission president ursula underline has called the attack in crematory,

despicable. she's been meeting ukrainian president, viola muranski and keys on earlier. she visited butcher, that's where hundreds of civilians were found dead after russian troops retreated. she said the unthinkable had happened there. or the 2 leaders held a joint press conference and they discuss ukraine's future in europe. so much so i'll goal is to be in the you. the most important thing is that we shared values. and we have proof there because we're fighting for those values with all our might for the right of our people to choose the world in which they can live long lives in a free country, mabood and which shows that russia will dissent in economic, financial, and technological delay decay while ukraine is marching towards a european future. this is what i see. we stand with you as you defend your country and this is my 2nd point. indeed, ukrainian people are holding up the torch of freedom. for all of us. results are

the, are, has the latest from cave that the european side is promising for more weapons. and also for more budget ality allocation, which are quite a significant for you grant, considering that it is going through the tough time. so 1000000000 worth a 1000000000 euros worth of more weapons that has been promised by or still of on the land, the present of the european commission to, to, to ukraine here. and also she mentioned about the more budget support and at least for the next couple of days, there would be $600.00 more 1000000 euros more also to be advocated for for the ukraine. this present lensky in the past has repeatedly said that you'd have been, you know, has done a lot, but it's not enough. and did the experts that we have been speaking to. they were saying that the here, the key issue is going to be the caught off the complete in portal. the dead import off the russian gas. but there hasn't been any mention on on that at all. so they

also love wonderland. emphasize that european union is going to, to take good care of the ukrainian refugees internally, replace beverages in ukraine and those who are, who left the company and went to the european countries. and also to construction of ukraine also was one of the, the issue because as we seated it as more and more to the scale of the disruption is becoming apparent than definitely it's, it is going to be one of the main issue, particularly during the peacetime of the it, after the war a new raft of european sanctions against russia were announced as vander lion traveled to achieve. it includes a ban on the import or purchase of russian coal and other solid fossil fuels currently worth 8000000000 years a year. however, this doesn't come into effect until august, rush and flag chips will lose access to in new ports and trucks won't be able to transport goods by road. but allowances have been made for agricultural and food

products as well as humanitarian aid import bands will be placed on items like for lies or sea food and liquor. while the block will stop exporting semiconductors and high end electronics and a full transaction band will be imposed on 4 major russian banks. the german government is backing the sanctions but pushed for a delay until august. so i'm going to cain explains why from berlin? the dependency here in germany on russian fossil fuels is still very considerable. we know that from the german governmental position they've been looking at, how could they make up for a serious shortfall in their energy supply? if the worst were to happen, if all of a sudden everything would be switched off that is shipped here, old piped here from russia. and clearly, if coal is switched off and gas 2 and oil 2, then that puts them in a really serious bind. one report suggests the day that the german government

suddenly the minister who's responsible for this particular area of it havoc the deputy chancellor, is considering reactivating many of the brown cole cole field areas of germany, which some, most of which already been switched off because that's the way of making up for this shortfall, but there's no question about it. in germany. there is the will to impose sanctions, but there is also the very serious concern that they don't want to punish their own population by denying them the energy supply. and indeed their own industry by denying them the energy supply that would happen if they were to punish russia immediately with complete sanctions that took effect immediately. that's the conundrum that showed that ministers here are trying to solve here as president obeyed and celebrating the confirmation of cassandra brown jackson to the supreme court. jackson will be the 1st black woman to serve as a judge at the top

u. s. court and biden, alongside vice president, comma harris and judge jackson have been speaking at the white house to mark the historic milestone. it has taken 232 years and $115.00 prior appointments for a black woman to be selected to serve on the supreme court in the united states. but we've made it. oh, we've made it a and and our children are telling me that they see now more than ever that here in america. anything is possible.

we all saw the kind of justice. she'll be fair and impartial for full, careful, precise, brilliant. a brilliant legal mind with deep knowledge of the law, the judicial temperament, which was equally important in my view. that's com and in command. and are you melody allows so many americans to see themselves in captain g brown, jackson. let's find out more of what was said and bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how could we could certainly hear the emotion in jackson's voice. kimberly just tell us what it was like and what the mood was like. a was really a celebration on the south lawn of the white house. there were so many women of color in the audience, including katasha brown jackson's own daughters and, and many young women who were of similar age. and so it was clear that there was

a lot of inspiration that was being shared. it was also notable vent to mark this moment in history. was another woman who really understands what it feels like. and that is the vice president calmly, harris herself the 1st female vice president, but also the 1st woman of color vice president in the united states. and she also acknowledged sort of the gravity of the moment, noting that that could talk brown, jackson will inspire generations of leaders who will read the decisions and perhaps follow her course of action and the careers that they choose. but also will really have an effect in terms of opportunity moving forward in america. and that this is really a turning point for american terms of whether or not there will be future opportunities and what that will look like. so it was really acknowledge whether it was the vice

president, whether it was the president or whether it was the future supreme court justice herself. but it was a moment that was filled with emotion because it was very clear that everyone understood. it was a long time in the making ad. we should also point out that there was that acknowledgement to that. well, it took america centuries to get there as they most of the odyssey to believe that america was on the right path. even if it took a while yet talk to us a little bit more about why this confirmation. we know it's certainly historic. why is it so important? it's important for a number of reasons because the impact on the court. well, it won't change the ideological ballots in terms of the fact that this is a democrat replacing a democrat, or rather, it's an appointed by a democratic president. and sort of the ideological, make it be liberal minded justice. and the fact that katasha brought jackson is

younger, she is female, she replaces of male justice. and also the fact that she is a woman of color. it's expected that her perspectives will be so much more diverse in terms of how she sees the world, how she sees cases, and that's expected to have an impact on the court as a whole. and so, well, this may not have in the short term significant impact on the court. it's expecting the long term this could have an impact for younger generations. and the fact is, is that now we have 4 justices from the so called genex generation. this is a very much a supreme court that a skewing younger after so many years of quite the opposite. and that is really encouraging to a lot of americans that have felt this court has been out of touch for some time. okay, thank you so much. kimberly how can reporting from the white house once more head

on the aisle 0 in his hour, including the race for the french president, the narrows on the last day of campaigning before elections. and in sports, some tricky times is formula one returns to melbourne. peter will be here with that story and more ah, but 1st focus on prime minister him on con, says that he's disappointed by a supreme court verdict against him, but he's accepted the ruling. con has addressed the nation before a vote of no confidence in parliament on saturday, which he is expected to lose. the supreme court ruled on thursday that he acted unconstitutionally, by blocking a previous motion of no confidence. let's go to come on either with joining us from as long about to tell us more about what iran con, have to say to the nation. william braun, kon basically talked about the fact that they saw position which had now rallied

together on a one point agenda to get rid of them. as instigated from overseas with direct and to fed and cindy internal affairs of the country. he said he was disappointed by the fact that the court did not look into that matter which pertains to article 5 that day when the foreign conspiracy loyal deeds. what in question. he also levers, seediest georgia of horse trading, saying that the opposition bought the august on daddy can solve for a member of parliament, good, hefty sums of money saying that this horse trading was unthinkable in any developed or mature democracy. but he also hinted by a by saying that his support a 3rd to come out on sunday and act of god's means that is now ready to face that no confidence motion and a nice and assembly tomorrow it is going to be a heated debate. and it will be important to see how this plays out by d of gauze,

saying that he is going to go to the people. he said that any self respecting nation should reject foreign and defeated and saying that a country like india could not be bullied or forced into making a decision contrary to her national interests. and he's been for the people to come out for indeed, the next 24 hours vale crew, shirley because died heated debate is going to kick golf oil in the morning. the court of god saying that it might be lured a bond. i did was an unconstitutional and moved by the deputy speaker and the opposition. oh, so saying that they're going to move a no confidence motion against a deputy speaker, who 2 of the no confidence ward earlier. the government, on the other hand, saying that they're getting ready for the review partition to be filed in the supreme court tomorrow. as the parliament meet, what else does the opposition plan to do? what is their strategy going forward?

where the opposition of gods is saying that this is a clear victory for democracy. they say that m ron has to face that reward of no confidence that they have done numbers to be able to form day government. and if that happened at flag need to happened on sunday, which had render prime minister, had dodged a nation to come out, there is going to be brought dest against a move. he said he will not recognize the new government, which has been enforced from overseas. so it will be important to see whether the opposition of gods, rich, of god said vague, confident that they will be able to inform the government day of god say that they're not ready for snap elections. they're warned. elect ordered reforms. the prime minister was so touching upon that saying that deal provision of cause we're trying to get rid of the nice and accountability bureau because many of the opposition leaders are facing major corruption charges. so all kinds of allegations going to and fro between the opposition and em, ron's guns,

emerson cons government, which of gosh, it seems as on its way out. thank you. come on hider reporting from islam about israel's forces say that they're on coat maximum, alert after a palestinian shot and killed 3 people and wounded several others at a busy bar in tel aviv on thursday. it's the latest and a number of attacks over the last few weeks. who thought that, how many times this report from television, the attack took place in the heart of delivery if targeting the ill cabal. when it was bustling with customers. the gunman from here escape to jennifer, only a few kilometers away. but it took security services about 9 hours to find him and kill him on the spot. and even if israel security services had been on high alert, prime minister enough, talley bennett said, what he describes as lone wolf attacks are difficult to stop the way he'd been bullied terrorist attacks without an organizational infrastructure. or really

a major challenge for the security system himself, but it will was standard our enemies will look for every crack and take every opportunity to attack us. and i hope it will fuck a show, a mouth good. we are in a difficult and challenging time. this might take time near just 10 days ago, the prime minister had called and is really gun owners to carry their weapons. since then, applications for new licenses have rocketing, even though rules on fire, arms remain strict. civilians can only own one gun and up to 50 bullets. this comes at the time where israel is inching closer to political crisis. the prime ministers coalition has lost his majority in parliament earlier this week. after a member of declared it defected. his government is not about to collapse yet, but is facing a major challenge from israel's most acute politician. benjamin netanyahu is

believed to want to make a comeback. this wave of attacks, a perfect storm for the former prime minister, wanting to re position himself as mister security. he treated, we are undergoing a wave of terrorism with 4 attacks within a few days. a tough hand and a firm stance is needed to restore peace and security to the citizens of israel. bennett pledged day will be no restrictions on israel's response to dislike to security challenge. that is a worry for palestinians with the holy month of ramadan underway. one major check point near jeanine was shut down indefinitely. palestinians living in the occupied west bank, now bracing themselves for more raids, detentions, and possibly fighting in their hood. abdul hamid algebra, tel aviv and tab raheem is and janine and the occupied west bank where the suspected that palestinian gunmen lived. the family of rod hasn't said that they

only learned about their son's involvement in the attack from the news. why they say they were surprised. they say that they can understand why people in drugs age and circumstances would do something like that. the other has been born and raised in this refugee camp. the genie and refugee camp that has been viewed by palestinians as a wrong hold for resistance. one of the father says he wasn't politically active. he's been more. and while oxer martyrs brigade, which belongs to the ruling party in the west bank of america shabba fucker, the youth have lost hope in everything know, jobs, disorientation, and daily attacks by the israeli forces. well, they lost a lot of colleagues, friends, and neighbors in response to the attack. there's really minutes re how's decided to shut down this jack point? it's one of 2 linking jeanene to israel, and the other one has been closed for a while. many palestinian israelis come here for shopping engineering and thousands

of palestinians cross using this check point for work into israel. many years say that this is hold collective punishment against how simian. it comes after these really officials have promised palestinians what they called ease measures. these things were before the current wave of escalation and before the specific attack where they said that they're going to give improvements across into israel. but palestinians say they're not looking for a better quality of life under occupation, but rather looking for an end to the israeli military rule for them are senior political analyst and one beside us as the violence is likely to continue as long as the israeli occupation exists we are moving towards a one state 3 ality not one stick solution wants to reality. meaning the think that international humorous organizations spoke about the fact that there was a port. 1 aid that goes from the jordan river to the sea. and in that system of

a part of it, we are having palestinians and israelis on top of each other. the maximum proximity between any is rate and any palestinian is 3456 kilometers. which means that the israeli military moving forward would have less and less options to, you know, use tanks or planes or what have you. because there's going to become more and more . can me, you know, violence between settlers and palestinians between young palestinians getting operations. we could digest to ramadan as they like to do what i to the 20th anniversary of the had their attack in 2002. we could tie to the land date in on march 30th. but what it is really, it's the active one, k no, but keeps repeating the occupied territories. the, the system will party is an active volcano and it continues to adopt and produce

those sorts of terrible attacks and violence and also work on both sides. of course, as it where, although it is the system of occupation and our party that continues to be the driver of the engine over more and more violence. so united nation says the warn ukraine has pushed food prices to record highs worldwide. it says the conflict is causing must the supply disruptions, prompting fears of global hunger crisis. the us food price index track the world's most traded food commodities. it says this, the prices increase nearly 13 percent last month. that's the highest and records begun. vegetable oil saw the biggest increase up 23 percent. ukraine is the world's leading export, or sunflower. oral and russia is the 2nd grain prices including wheat, barley, and corn rose 17 percent. russia and ukraine together export more than a quarter of the world's wheat. there is effect on the world because of the

increasing prices are the levels we are observing today, in ts, especially in wheat, and may not getting right. because rise, we have very good supplies. that means that people, which are the poorest, which their expenditure depends on foot. the biggest cheryl that expenditure will be the multiethnic done. the countries that import used to import from a brain around 50 countries for 30 percent of those years from cleaning brush affiliation and of those 26 important 50 percent. but there is one more effect, which is very important for us, which is the active to put like an outside of the prices or put the prices are 40 lighters have been going substantially up. and why is it so important is because it will affect the production of the next piece. and that's what we're really conser ah. horizon food and shield prices have let today's a protest in peru. a state of emergency has been declared there truckers and farm workers have been walking roads for more than a week. thousands march in the capital,

lima on thursday. violence and looting and recent days have let's have a death. at least 5 people for testers want the president to resign. he blamed the pam. they're making the war in ukraine for a price hike. and in sterling police, there have fire tear gas, a hundreds of students in the capital who are protesting against the countries worst economic crisis in more than 70 years. severe shortages of food on fuel, alongside lengthy electricity, black out of like 2 weeks of anti government demonstrations. people are demanding presidents raja pac saw resign. let's cross to washington and bring in joseph global global. he's a senior research fellow at the international food policy research institute to talk about this. this issue if rising food prices. welcome to al jazeera sir. so as we can see, people are really feeling the pinch all around the world. and the bad news is that the u. n. is warning that prices could still climb much higher. where do you see things going? i think you need to realize that even prior to the ukraine, we had very,

very tight suppliers in world markets. we had browse from south america. we had to drop north america to drive across much and least even prior to this for starting, it already driven down stock levels and, and it seemed very high prices. this war has is further exacerbated that problem because as was pointed out, ukraine is such an important breadbasket to the rest of the world. so you and also saying that staples in important dependent countries, for example, the middle east region as well as the north africa region are putting people's resilience at breaking point. i mean, these prices can keep going up. what's your most immediate concern? no, i certainly i, i just are going up all over the world, but particularly for countries that are important, why don't we and import a lot of we from the black sea, which are the countries in north africa in the middle east. we has

a very important part of their diets. they load, consumers can't absorb the price increases that we've seen. so we, the only way to do it is through consumers subsidies that are provided by the government or in some countries, the very core countries, humanitarian aid. right, tell us a little bit of a more about sort of what can be implemented in the and the short and medium term in your opinion. well, there, there's a question, the supplies on the market. we're not going to run out a week. so there's a lot of countries that produce, we stocks are low, however, and so i think that with that means, and i think it's confirmed by what f o is talking about as well. is it prices are going to remain high for, at least through the end of this year, and probably for a lot of next year. again, so much uncertainty concerns the warren in ukraine and what happens all the way, and whether or not grange will again flow out of there and at what time they will. but in the mean time, prices are high and consumers are facing higher prices. so that means government's

your, if you have the resources to do so in places like egypt, in other places in north africa, that means increasing bribes subsidies other things keep prices down. the concern, actually one of the other concerns of course, is that without any action and this could push millions more people into extreme poverty. i think one statistic that i read was about 40000000 additional people into extreme poverty. how, how concerning is this? well, yes, it is very concerned, and it's mentioned by the spokes person from s h o, they're talking about the impacts on fertilizer as well and how that might affect productivity over the next year. remember what with the i p o and also was showing just as much as 13000000 people could be pushed into hunger. and so that's a large number. i think that's a real concern. again, we're not to run out of stuff there. there are quite plentiful around the world

enough to, to satisfy these, but that's all done it high prices. and unfortunately for the poor countries, that means of assistance or them having to spend a lot more on, on grain. and i know that you've written about this, particularly about the role of the black sea in particular when it comes to global food security. but for the benefit of, for some of our international viewers, i wonder if you can just elaborate on that a little bit. and give us context. well, it is. so when i say like, see, i'm really talking about your grade in russia. and remember, 20 years ago these, these areas actually were net importers a week. what's happening over the last 20 years is because of improve yields. and because of investments into the regular cultural system and development of facilities, i think they have regained their role is sort of a traditional breadbasket of the world and is, and now account for about 30 percent of the way it's traded in the world about 20

to 25 percent of the maze, about 20 percent of barley. and it was pointed out about 75 percent of the us some fall. so they are major suppliers to the world, not just in north africa, but subsaharan africa to places in southeast asia. and so again, we and corn and soybeans are all globally traded commodity. so if you start talking about supply reductions in one area, prices go up everywhere. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for joining us from us. thanks so much. still had on the al jazeera news hour, the stress of coping with covert the u. s. faces a shortage of nurses, as it nears another grim milestone. and i meet the comedian from saddam who says laughter is the best medicine this man

achieve something never before seen in the n b. a. peter will tell you all about it as for ah, now the extremes attempt to, we've seen throughout the winter are no longer with us even though every now and again. you get these frontal systems coming out of europe, which is colder air. but we're still left with 20 to a jury of not in beirut. and then you for your eyes. south was 38 in q 8 and maybe 39. doha. so it's hot here is less hot back. it is not really cold anywhere except in the mountains, maybe of northern parts of iraq and turkey was hardly a surprise whether on the ground dusty as it has been in iraq, and that the storm may well shows up in q 8. the society might come down to bother him, but i think that it dispersed his leisure on saturday, leaving behind fine weather, a few showers of rain for the most part,

and as by john, and in iran and sunshine in a warming turkey, it's cooler than it was in the levant and in northern egypt, but not extremely. so the picture by sunday shows an increasing breeze down the go . so temperatures have dropped a bit, but not dropped a huge amount. it's done about 35, for example, in doha, it is, i think, particularly potentially stormy from the 4th da storms in turkmenistan and beyond, and the few showers as well eastern side of the caspian in southern africa. big difference is what we have in cape town. it's getting pretty cold and wet in johannesburg. ah, the are china in the u. s. sleep walking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine? here is the test for president joe biden. what proven is really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in europe. it's your personal united states. you, sir, if you go to walking through gum at the same time, you're weekly,

pay on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. i enjoy bringing my neighbors, my labor children, so they can see and get more comfortable with 5 children around the heart of america's love affair with weapons. fact that the barrels. so mom makes a recoil there for me to shoot. and it's fun. but a new generation is fighting fire with reason we're fighting for voices to be heard because we don't want to see any of these community get her with never again. part of the radicalized youth series on al jazeera, investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe. on al jazeera lou.

to a few weeks ago. it lastly down to be off the far right. come today and he's been using photos. and the reason for the is she right from the start? she who own the cost of living, which is number one priority for the french. he went for integration, security and got is not a priority. he was also much more effective than her by the way, ukraine. he was even to go across to houston. he was most trident in a support before the war in misjudged mood of the nation by refusing to, to welcome ukrainian. whereas she was immediately saying, yes we, we need to, you know, also she carried on her p took cation strategy to make her look more respectable. less scary, whereas he very much, you know,

fiery a violent language. outrageous who made her follow normal to her recent price for the 1st row is basically the move to switching back to her for the 2nd room. the reason she has she, she, she is. she has a chance really to win because we are very different situation from 2000. 1717. we had a new candidate, michael jones. we didn't know much about that. and a lot of people voted for him. you know, to get into benefit is about because they didn't want mine this year is different. we hot 5 years of my uncle and a maximum presidency has led to a lot of anger, this content and, and in the last section of the population, hatred. so the 2nd round is, is kind of an empty muscle referendum and the she might when not because people want her to be the president,

but because they don't want my code. and i will be primed on extension. and in particular obsession from the less, if many people from the last you know, go into the 2nd round days of high possibility that she would win me come with 1900 testing of everyone. and shanghai is continuing for a 3rd successive day along with locked on for 26000000 people in china's largest city. despite the government's order to stay home a record of 21000 corona virus infections were reported on friday, from citizens or warning. they're running out of food, but city leaders haven't said when the emergency measures will end. the pandemic has worse than the shortage of nurses in the united states. around half a 1000000 health care workers have left their job since the start of the cove at crisis summer laid off, many resigns and others couldn't work because of long lasting illness. i kind of

has more from washington, dc. they've been the caring responders in the battle against the pandemic, working long hours and over crowded hospitals and experiencing the ravages of colbert 19. and it's variance on a daily basis. and while this being a decline in hospital admissions, as the vaccines take hold, the stress on the nurses is far from over there. some of our colleagues within the state who's that p d s p t s d is so bad that they've had several suicides. so it's affecting all of us differently. unfortunately it comes down to the patients and really when i go into work and i feel like i don't have the resources or the time to take care of the patients in the way that i want to. i just feel distressed, i feel morally distressed that i am put in a situation where ethically i am not able to hold up to the value that i am full

that i want to to be out for myself. there are 4400000 registered nurses in the u. s. but data realized by national nurses, united shows that just over 3000000 are actually employed. the state that union claims that there was a stopping crisis long before colbert and that there is not a nursing shortage. but there's a shortage of jobs in which nurses feel valued and safe. congresswoman john chicago ski has been working on federal legislation to protect nurses since 2004. you know we hear that sometimes from the hospital. there's this big nursing shortage note. there was only a shortage because there is not the ability of nurses to go back to work safely and to protect their patients as well. it's predominantly nurses who are at

the forefront of the vaccination campaign. billions of them still out there working despite an environment that remains far from ideal to many, it's a calling as much as a profession. i really have come to the point where i, i, i don't think that there's any other place that i would want to be. but there are situations and days at work where i think, i don't know if i can keep doing this. statistics indicate the pandemic could be waning, but the scars remain for the millions that have lost family or friends. and for those who have held the hands of the dying, my kind of era, washington more than half a 1000000 people in puerto rico, are still without electricity officer, a fire at a power station on wednesday night. the operate of the u. s. territory power grid says it had restored electricity to around $380000.00 customers by the end of

thursday night. some intensive care units lost power during the blackout across the island. kenneth mcclintock has served both as puerto rico's lieutenant governor and secretary of state. he says, the fire shows the importance of investing and renewable energy. well, this time there was a minor fire at the yard in front of the a, one of the power generators. we've had to 942, a unitary web where everything is connected. so if anything goes wrong, it can trigger a cascade of events that will shut down the system to protect the system. we have to move to microgrids. we have to move to renewable energy, but we haven't done it yet. the federal government has a sign around $10000000000.00 so that we can redo the power the power system that has not been done yet. and there is

a debate as well. they should basically reconstruct what we have and continue burning coal, oil, diesel, natural gas, or whether we should be redesigning the system. so that we can go towards renewable energies and reached the goal of 100 percent renewable energy by the year 2015. that is the alternative that i personally support. pandemic restrictions have effected many and chilly, excuse me, including museums, would celebrate the work of a nobel prize winning poets as latin america editor. unless you, newman reports from santiago, the lack of tourists has caused the cache crisis and 3 museums phase closer. 70 years after writing 20 love poems and a song of despair, chilion nobel laureate probably noodle is one of the world's most translated poets . he died 12 days after soldiers rated his house following chilis, 1973, military,

cool. but he left behind, not only his work, but his 3 unique homes, all of them reflect nicholas eccentric personality, his love for the ocean, and his passion for collecting unique objects, large and small. since 1991 knew this homes in santiago, valparaiso, and eastland ada have become museums. attracting tourists from the world over their entrance. he's keep the museum running. but the pandemic forced the museums to close. and now the near to the foundation says it's broke. and in desperate need of donations, and especially tourists, to ensure the poets legacy stays alive. don't. i don't even want to think of that possibility. we hope that our effort to draw attention to the situation will reverse it the legacy or public all day implies current. disappear is incomprehensible. needles of was close to writers and artists of his time such as

but tourist cannot run the risk of losing their bonnie and holidays because of this bureaucracy. no point. for now, the only option is philanthropy, and the hope that restrictions on tourists will be lifted in order to save what is considered part of chiles and the world's cultural heritage. you see on human al jazeera santiago while there should be plenty of laughter to look forward to this weekend at the juba international comedy festival and south. so don, among the comedians on stage is a cow jambo. he reckons the best comedy comes from hardship. here is his story. my name is cole jumble and i'm a stand up comedian from south to dunn was the only only room. i was locked up in the, in a row before the bus for the last 8 months of the funding. then after that i went bucks, that's done. and so today was not as locked up as the rest of the country. i navigated my way back a little bit. the zone shows a little bit of online content there
