ah, wherever you go in the world, well, no line goes to make it for you. exceptional katara always going places to go. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, you're watching the news, our life from headquarters, and ohio, daddy and abigail coming up in the next 60 minutes. british prime minister boris johnson holds talks with the crane and leader of i'll let him as a lensky in keith. the european union holds a global pledging event in poland to raise funds for ukrainian refugees. angry words and pakistan's parliament as the opposition accuses the ruling party of

delaying and no confidence vote against prime minister him on con, tens of thousands rally nearest or lankin president. go to bio de packs his office in the biggest protest yet over the countries economic turmoil and in sport ferrari continue their strong stone to the form in one season in melbourne at the mosses, tiger woods, battles tough conditions that'll guster to make. because welcome to the news our, the british prime minister wars johnson is in chief war, he's met the ukranian president villa premier zalinski there meeting comes more than 6 weeks into the russian invasion half ukraine. bring up him on con right away . he's joining us in the capitol achieve. so this was a bit of a surprise him, ron a tell us what more we're learning about this meeting. well, that's exactly how it was billed. it was billed as a surprise visit. is the highest level of visit from european union or european

leda. sorry, ah, since the war began and the 2 men met that there was heavy security around the meeting? ah, but britain didn't say it was going to pledge a further $130000000.00 of military support to ukraine. now britain has been one of the largest providers of military support. ready to ukraine, although it is the country has taken the least amount of ukrainian refugees. now the british prime minister had very strong words to say about the attack on the train station cover girls in easton ukraine. he said it was packed with women, children, elderly people fleeing the conflict and ukrainian horse. he said they killed these 39 people. he said, the attack shows the depths to which putin vaunted army has sunk. it's a war crime indiscriminately to attack civilians and rushes crimes in ukraine will not go unpunished. so lots of very strong words, lots of

a public support, a show of public support, their full blood of a zalinski, but is this enough when it comes to ukrainians? they've been asking for more and more weapons, a more heavier weapons as well. they're looking for air defense systems. they're looking for more tanks. we don't know what this 100 and. busy $30000000.00 buys the ukrainians. certainly the britons have supplied them with javelin on to tankless howls and anti air defense systems that a portable, those have been incredibly affected. but the nature of the war in the east particularly is changing is becoming much more of a conventional war, 2 uniformed armies against each other. and for that you need heavy armor, unit tanks, apc's, things like that. so whether that includes things that, that we don't know, it was a wall with home cordial meeting between zalinski and boris johnson. but once again, this is a very like support, a public show of support for the ukrainians. this is going to have an impact in

london at home for boris johnson. the russians have huge amounts of investment, not just in the city of london across the u. k. as well, sanctions all biting it's having an effect on the economy the, the chance of the exchequer is trying to talk about the cost of exactly how much that is coming to going to cost the brit britain's economy. those sanctions against the russians. like i say, one of the major investors, so boys johnson is walking a tightrope between russian investment and support for you. crime. ok, thank you so much. emron reporting from keith's now earlier the president, as lensky met austria as chancellor curl and a hammer and cheese. and the hammer said he wanted to show support for ukraine. austria has been providing humanitarian aid as well as helmets and body armor for civilians. while the ear has pledged more than a $1000000000.00 to support countries well coming refugees from ukraine, european commission, president ursula vander line, made that pledge at

a fundraising event held in warsaw. $650000000.00 will go to poland. she said the rest of the funds would go to other frontline states. today, we are supporting millions of ukrainian refugees and people in need. above all, we are sending a message to every single ukrainian in their cities and villages under siege and message of hall to their brave ukrainian soldiers. heroes, defending they come true from the aggressor. dear brothers and sisters, you are not alone. the member states are doing an outstanding job. it's phenomenal . the n g o are working on the ground, the communities, the local communities standing in receiving the refugees. but as i said, more is needed and any pledge will help a refugee here in the european union. but also this is so important. any pledge

will help a person that is internally displaced last at home because of the bumping and shelling of proteins army within your crane. while the war in ukraine has caused europe's biggest refugee and humanitarian crisis since the 2nd world war, more than 10000000 people have been forced to flee their homes a quarter of the country's population. more than 6000000 are still in ukraine, around 4 and a half 1000000 have escaped. 2 and a half 1000000 of them are in poland. most of the rest are in other countries, neighboring ukraine, and some have moved on to western europe. for more on this, let's bring in andrea chris coff. he's the spokesperson for the un refugee agency based in poland, who's joining us more so welcome tile to 0, sir. i know that you've just returned from the medical border. just 1st of all, tell us, tell us what you saw there in terms of the numbers of people still trying to cross into poland and etc. you're being billed

directly from ukraine arriving at smaller numbers. when you put it into perspective, we need to be that up to $140000.00 people per day across the border. so it's really records numbers which we haven't seen and other records emergencies . and now it will be in the south. and so still significant all the volunteer organization or many of them are still there, but it's already that we need to more a longer term perspective on them, but also on supporting the refugees when things want. because often they only spend a few hours a day at the border and then they move on to major cities in actually what's right. so once then they move on to these major cities and they enter poland. what does the situation like for them and how challenging is it?

well, we all know that well come up. it has really been, so it is probably something that should have an account for, for the product itself, displacement and refugees. of the reason. now, you know where i'm now we think that may be roughly estimated one out of 10 people is a refugee. so we need just the exit accommodation they need and if they can meet next to just to health care. so this is something really when you look in the not the perspective and many local citizens may not be able to to host them for an extended period. right, so we've just heard from the european commission president at the fundraising event that's been held in warsaw where you are, and $650000000.00 has been pledged to poland. specifically,

no doubt this will help the country because as you're saying, it's been under a tremendous amount of pressure as not to, to take in this the, the refugees and to host them. yes, certainly, and i mean, they are from other countries. it showed in the 1st name, obviously you go into the next on and especially also, municipalities, villages, town. if you had a plan and you and hcr record g agency or other and you know, they can compliment that response. i wonder if you can speak to the statistic, the polish border police is saying that according to its data, there, about 364000 people who have actually returned to ukraine since february, the 24th. can you tell us about about that and, and why,

why you think they're returning? well, what we're seeing is that the movement is across the border and more in line. and someone will be people. maybe i'm not sure the individual to we talk to refugees, a 100 men or they think that it's relatively peaceful where they are now when i say that development in east ukraine and also the rise and we have more than 10000000 internally displayed in the ukraine. now, so that means that it's on our situations like there is certainly the possibility that more ukrainian will leave. and let me ask you about another group of people that have been stuck in fact,

on the by the russian side of the border as they try to enter poland. and these refugees have come from syria, iraq, as well as have gone astronomy. we still hear reports of them being pushed back from the polish border. there are met sometimes with beatings as well as your gas. can you update us on, on their situation? be in that area and ration border is quite difficult because it's sort of a special area where where it is not granted automatically. and so we had some records about this day. can we follow all the time requests being fired by persons to order by continuing to support that not to push back people and to exit people who

are protection and when you put that request to polish authorities, what is the response that you get because you know, a lot of people are saying, well, this is double standards by the polish government, while they well come refugees from ukraine who certainly need the help that poland is providing for them. the people from syria, iraq, afghanistan in areas in the middle east or not being welcomed into poland. we had an ongoing discussion with the country including poland and we really think that they bring to be trained to asian has shown that there is the possibility to welcome refugees. and we are talking about much smaller groups that it's possible to get. and then also to sign into those protection. okay, we thank you so much for joining us for more. so andrea kurtzweill. thank you. thank you. now president viola rizza lensky has told al jazeera that russia could

renew its attack on cheve, if ukrainian forces fail on the eastern front. but he says that seeing towns liberated is giving many people hope. we can see that the war is not over yet, but so many people are excited and happy that some areas have been liberated. and i'm pleased to speak about such places because in others, people are dying. some because of the blockade and others because they're being killed by russian soldiers. but we have put up a face response and they fail to take keith. here with the news, our knowledge is there. are there are plenty more ahead, including, should he say or should he go? voters and mexico falls in the side. if the president remain in power, arriving at the world's most tourist destination will tell you more about this historic commission to faith. and then for a slice of lots of booth everything hopes of staying in the english,

primarily peter will have more ah, but 1st opposition m. p. 's and pakistan are choosing the ruling party of delaying and no confidence vote against prime minister in ron ton. he says, attempts to remove him are part of a foreign conspiracy. the session was adjourned 2 times on saturday. an m p 's are to return after breaking their ramadan fast. earlier parliament was dissolved to avoid a vote of confidence. supreme court judges ruled that was illegal opposition party say they have enough votes to con. let's bring and come hider, he is joining us from islamic bad. so. so tell us what's happened in the past few hours. come all and what we expect later on in the evening. well apparently what happened was there didn't gording to that gord drooling

adjunct wound into bridget. the no conference war we should have taken place today . however, when the session started, it started to debate on that for a cipher diplomatic communication between islam abad and its embassy in washington, which basically put can do on a medical interference and bringing that no confidence motion against the prime minister. but there's been a heated debate after the ramadan fought the opposition member the bag. they're saying they're not going anywhere until this war of no confident takes place. and at the same time, the ruling party has been arguing and talking about this conspiracy to bring down and elected government in pakistan. of course, across focused on people are watching this ready nervously because it appears that there's a deadlock now. and it is not clear whether that no gun for guns motion with dignity

tonight or not. the government will continue to argue, it's still had a few days, according to what they say. and they have also filed at a view partition and the supreme court challenging the supreme court. so wor, date, and that of god also means that they made a request that d, a session of parliamentary be suspended. so a lot of uncertainty better political polarization. and i decide not willing to budge down from de position. ok, thank you so much. come on either from his lawn about well, let's just take a look at how the post for no confidence vote led to that constitutional crisis come all was discussing last sunday. the opposition put forward a no confidence motion to parliament and a bit to the prime minister in ron con. it accuses him of handling the economy badly. the deputy speaker blocked the motion saying it was unconstitutional. and it involved for an interference on enron cons advice. pakistan's president and

dissolve parliament, the opposition challenge that order and the supreme court. and on friday the court ruled that cons moved to dissolve parliament and call snap elections was illegal. the court ordered parliament to reconvene and holds that no confidence motion. earlier our correspondence, some have been just a spoke to a member of the prime minister's party. why is emron can not showing sportsman spirit to? why is he not there at the assembly? why the running away from the road as he sees that he does just doesn't have enough people to keep him in power? well, they gave us navarro, and under the last, boyles boyles in grand harness. not running away is gonna be, is here to pretty much here, but what opposition is trying to do? is that buying people? the where's the sportsmen's spirit there? there's not sportsmen, spirit, they're buying b pearls. they're part of this international guns. but a see there's a document established document there, which mentions as vote of no confidence. it has very much linked with them. and

they've brought it and then they bought our people. and you know, these are al allegations you have not provided a should have proof that people have been bought this so called letter is controversial. the person you who you are assigned to robert from your own party has actually denied it denied that he wants to take that job. so it feels that he's under a lot of pressure and you're extending his tenure in power by just delaying it. well, that was endorsed by a national security committee by the parliamentary committee, where the cabinet and we also want to be in court to proven to it. and that's for the filing review petition because supreme court given if it's burdick on the technical ruling of the speaker. but the ruling was based on some foundation than the foundation. is this, this letter, this document which needs to be brought into it. and what is going to be happening next? what is the strategy then? are if him round hand is removed from power, he's also asked people to come out in the streets on sunday evening. up. are you

going to, are we going to see disruption on the streets of pakistan? what is the strategy? well, you know, people are parked that have decided, and they will come out and protest tomorrow evening. they're doing this massive protest all across peaceful protest and in depth democracy, we have the right to do it. and you will see massive public move movement, forcing elections happening within the next 3 months. it's the biggest process so far against for lancaster, worst economic crisis in more than 70 years. tens of thousands of demonstrators are taken to the streets of the capital, colombo, they're demanding president good. by orig, approximate resign. fuel shortages on power cuts have let to weeks of anti government rallies. the countries struggling to pay for imports of basic supplies because of its huge debts and dwindling foreign reserves. and l fernandez has more from columbus over my shoulder, the presidential secretariat, the entrance completely surrounded by protest is ah, just over here the port city,

you see tails off down here. the orange here is the winds associated with a system the tend to pick up, but you san stores have done that in iraq and in syria, and indeed in egypt. but is a bit of a break down as intense as you might expect. the breeze, it usually follows down the gulf or bring a bit of dusty weather and through back rain cats are on the temperatures are on the high side, but they're good. i think remain high and you buy and muscat me. 43. it's ridiculous. but come down little bit for the north of up sunshine, a band. so it's average in bay route. but look what's curling back into turkey. again, no spell of for all the cold weather, sofa heights in turkey, rain for most and a drop in temperature in the levant. but for the south, nothing, it's quiet. it's hot of the empty quarter due by musket. we're above average by quite a few degrees. in contrast, in southern africa, the rain is really formula, it's not just under storms is proper persistent rain in the south of botswana and causal tile. and the snow likely, i think in the su too, as well. all this time,

kate has enjoying the bit of warmth, but not johannesburg, takes a while to warm up in the rain, then moves eastwards towards durban. ah, of all my friends and co workers who were detained, i am the only one who survived. they were all waiting for news of the men folk and was only one word on their lips almost like a saw, a boy killed in his father's arms. i saw a man killed next to his son. i have only once in my life seen men who are scared to death. 30 years old from the start of the wall pulse near the camp on al jazeera. when the news breaks, your came through the building, trying to see if there's anybody else shopped inside. when people need to be hurt and the story town, i feel like i wasn't really awake until i went to morocco. it definitely changed my

life in a good way with exclusive interviews and in depth reports and not hardly, but he left her because al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied nice. oh, a hello again. the top story on the news, our british prime minister born johnson is in ki, where he's met the ukrainian president valadez lensky. the meeting comes more than 6 weeks into the russian invasion of ukraine. you has pledged more than a $1000000000.00 to support countries welcoming refugees from ukraine. the blog posted a global pledging event and were small to raise funds for refugee and paid some

focused on our vote on whether or not prime minister iran con, keeps his job. parliament was dissolved earlier this week and tend to avoid the vote of his confidence. supreme court judges rule that was illegal. iran has been holding a national ceremony to mark its nuclear day. both the president on the head of the atomic energy agency took part. honey hassam has more from to run. the iranian nuclear agency showed at 9 off its new achievements and fields of health and agriculture. also, iran is supposed or are they already said they did to upload that showing the c p f, which is the con, the country program, a framework for the next 20 years to the i. e. a website where it's showing in gen that are what are the plans and objectives, the uranium nuclear agency is,

is putting forward. one of them is producing on $10000.00 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power. also, the president spoke during this ceremony. he said that iran one link it's nuclear ambitions within the peaceful framework. it went to link its own research, its own knowledge within the, in nuclear science to the demands and whatever other countries want at this was in a way or another signal to what's the negotiations as we know that right now, the iranian nuclear file that's controversial within the international power is under negotiations and talks between iran and 5 plus one and america. and these talks are installed due to a points regarding the, the listing of the i, r g c. voters are going to the polls in the gambia to like their national assembly

. a record number of candidates are vying for the 53 parliamentary seats. another 5 will be appointed by president don borough. he's facing growing political and economic discontent and hopes to win enough support to move forward with his agenda is very important. alex on the national assembly election because these are the people who sent us a department. yeah, yeah, for anything we do, said we have to work with them and tell them this is what we're looking forward to understand for us. let's bring in some of the reasons following developments from nigeria, capital boucher. so what's the turn out like so far off month while during the force he has them is very low. this election may be important, like the previous speaker said for many come to us. but again, i think what we're seeing up to now is

a very low voter turnout across the can be i've spoken to the spokesman of the independent electoral commission in the cumbia white mitted. that yes, there was a low voter turnout in much of the places in the gum. yeah. i've spoken to a research and also an election absorber today. we just came of the phone and talking with them and they said it could be, it could be because of the vote of particular could also be because people in the can be, especially in the elections point. years ago, they've seen a similar trend more interesting. the presidential election unless interest in the parliamentary lectures and of course, graduates elections like local council elections. but again, the biggest problem is such that people, a lot of people are disappointed, at least just lose and following the result of the last presidential election in december, many people don't feel it was necessary for them to even come out and book president adam about or campaign vigorously for the election of parliament members for his party, but there is no vote education on the,

on this particular election according to what we hear on the part of the other political parties. yes, there are record number of candidates running for the election, but there is no voter education and therefore low voter turnout. so how is the party? how is the ruling party than expected to fare in this election? one poll suggests that the presentation, the ruling or governing party may get at least a 3rd of the vote, a 3rd of the seat in parliament. in addition, president barbara may appoint 5 other members of parliament, including the speaker of the parliament. if they win the majority, but then the big problem is for president adam about his party, the n p. p is a new political party. it came out of the fall out of the collapse of the coalition that broke into power fought for 5 years ago. now he has to nurture new party and that's what brought him into office will be position now because he may not have an

outright majority to push through his gender in parliament. it will need the support of small parties of to, to push through the parliament. but what, how much support will he get from this political party now that he's not on good terms of the coalition that brought him to power for 5 years ago? so it's going to be a difficult process for you unless he's able or the ruling party is able to cobble together some form of coalition, including of course, independence. why now running for this particular election, the parliamentary lectures today. ok, thank you so much. i did this report from them, so thousands of trucks heading for europe have been forced to chew at the port of dover. and england authorities is saying the delay is being caused by issues worth certification for fairies that cross the english channel or a challenge is joining us from that line of trucks which a stretch some 45 kilometers worried to the town of ashford. we can see them right behind you. just tell us a little bit more about what's,

what's behind this disruption yeah, this is a long key. as you can see, i'm at a considerable distance outside of dover and already the tailback is going way beyond me. dover is actually that direction that way is the ports and all these trucks are trying to get down there and on. so very and across to france and, and europe. why that is structured? well, there are 3 things that are going on at the moment. one of them is a, an incredibly acrimonious disputes over a fairy company piano ferries, which is ongoing. that is basically not south a 3rd of cross channel ferry business. at the moment, then you have bricks, it paper, which is much, much more laborious than it ever used to be when the u. k. was a member of the european union, and you have the beginning of the school holidays, easter holidays, which means that you have hundreds of thousands of breaks. you haven't been away since covered began many of them. and now they're looking towards having

a 1st holiday across the channel in europe, and there are lots of them trying to get across. this actually is a system. it may look like a great big key, but this is called operation brought. and it basically is a queuing system for trucks, a traffic light system. that means that i have to wait there, i lost the time to get down into the port of dover and then across the channels, how long will it take them? well, something that they're going to be waiting here for as much as 2 days. yeah, i want to ask her, what happens on the truck? do get to tell her well, when they get there, they're gonna struggle to get on a fair h, as i mentioned. and my 1st on that piano, which deals with a 3rd of cross channel very bit this has basically a few days ago on the march 22nd said that it was going to fire or make redundant all of it's a 100 cru, cheaper agency stop and said that kicked off a very,

very not the industrial, the speak with the government. the government is basically taking them to court. but there are no very theft is running at the moment like customers are trying to get on to other services. other services that they would step in over the previous few days, but now we've got all of this business that's coming because of the, the, the school, the holidays. but other very companies saying they're going to not take paying customers anymore. so yeah, there's it, as a big problem, there's one of these places and reports equal that perfect store. there's another thing. so the mix which is a, an i t system how function, which means that a lot of the paperwork in the basement. it's a horrible, horrible conflation of various factors leading to their re thank you so much for a challenge. reporting from the u. k. a voters and mexico had to the poles on sunday to decide the future of a precedent underestimating r. lopez of her dora called for the referendum to see whether or not voters are
