the ukrainian army in russian forces pitched battles in the streets of mockery. now, an army of volunteers is fighting a different one to clean up the streets. their weapons, all fashion rooms and physical strength. so these people are members of a bodybuilding club and keep them come to help alongside their friends. they sweep into the soup market. every time we are trying to clean up the mass that the russians left behind. we are trying to bring normality to our country green, but it's dangerous work. minds and booby traps everywhere. they work with the military to stay as safe as they can. we asking for the military guys and promotional, what if i found the 2 bombs, but it was florida on the garden. elizabeth,

because me the task ahead is daunting. even with volunteers in the civil administration. it'll take years to get this town back to anything resembling what it was. facilities like the local library and community center will be the last to be rebuilt. after all, without homes for people to live in, that can be no community that v was painted on that gauged by the russians they've taken over this entire area. you can just see over there, the empty ammunition cases, they used as defensive positions, but the ukrainians have now been through this area. they've searched house the house, see that yellow dot over there. that yellow dot symbolizes the fact that this house has been cleared of mines and any kind of booby traps and the residents that are back here. and what they're doing is they're rebuilding slowly. but surely, soldiers is still clearing houses here.

they looked in the cellar methodically, making sure there's nothing that might explode. the woman who lives here watches nervously satisfied his claire, the soldiers li, run with us. it's this type of operation that will allow those who still have some hope to return this ukrainian tank has become a makeshift morial to those who died, defending this place, the residence of left flowers, flowers that have wilted and died. but as the long process to clean up begins when they return, perhaps fresh flowers will as well. emerald con, audi 0, mcaden, still ahead on al jazeera, ah,

refusing to stay silent, protest is put more pressure on should anchor's presence. and the strict anti abortion laws of texas. when back in the spotlight courtroom, monday, details coming ah, the journey has begun. the fee for world cup is on its way to catherine group. your travel package to day. hello, the weather's large. he set fare across much of japan over the next day or so with a little area cloud just pushing out of east and china that we'll roll towards the cream monitor. the far south of depends on where to where the coming through here. but the more dominant feature this area of low pressure, just extending its way across the far northeast of china, will introduce some very heavy rain into the east side of china, running right down into central and south west and parts over the next hour. so

those are where to weather, therefore, key issues that'll move through fine and try as of sunshine type, just getting up into the mid twenties for much of japan that you go that her area where to where the coming into central and southwestern parts of china with some heavy down portal that it is likely to call some localized flooding. we have flooding concerns to into central parts of the philippines. large mass of cloud coming through here associated with tropical storm. and maggie and that's gonna be stuck here for the next couple of days. as monday's pitch you go on into we're tuesday is, is a little further east, which yes, but it will bring further heavy down pause in some parts. could see maybe 20300 millimeters afraid. over the next 3 days, it will cost wise spread, flooding, flooding concerns to into the far south of india over the next couple of days. along with swell anchor, i saw airway official airline of the journey, of all my friends and co workers who were detained. i am the only one who survived . they were all waiting for the news of the men folk and was only one word on their

lips full much with his saw a boy killed in his father's arms. i saw a man chill 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. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera a reminder now of our top stories is incumbent french president manuel macro on these set for likely run off against fall right. county marine the pen. it will be held on april 24th. most opinion polls show he will be turned round to,

but the margin could be very tight. thousands of iran, con supporters have rallied in pakistan's capital is them about a day off to parliament removed him as prime minister in a vote with no confidence. please choose a successor. later on monday, local officials say they found graves with the bodies of thousands of civilians in a ukrainian village at keith. russian forced his off withdrawn from the area. ukrainian president has been speaking to the german chancellor, imposing more sanctions on moscow. now in the u. s. a murder charge against a woman accused of self inducing, an abortion is to be dropped. texas district attorney says the woman is exempt from prosecution under the states strict and portion laws. last year, accounting texas off to new measures into effect, including a ban on women, terminating their pregnancy as early as 6 weeks. well,

chris edison is an assistant professor of government in a school of public affairs at the american university, joins us on skype from washington. d. c, thanks for being with us here today. we'll put simply how significant is this decision? thank you for having me on. i think what's more significant than the decision is the fact that this one was arrested that she was held for 2 days. she was only released initially because an organization paid bill horror. there is no law in texas. that actually makes it a crime for women to read or pregnancy. the law you mentioned provides for civil penalties. i think that sends a very chilling message to women in texas and another state who may soon be in a similar situation not having access to legal worship. do you think also there could still be uncertainty and controversy in terms of what might happen in the supreme court? yes, so i'm assuming that the united states supreme court will either completely

overrule robi way, which is already actually been eroded. it's part of it was already taken away 992 and a decision called plain bernard versus casey. or the think court will put additional holes in the way. it's not clear that will happen, but i think it's a safe bet that will happen if it does happen. i think many americans are not prepared for what that will mean for those of us who grew up united states after robi, when i was born in 971. we heard stories about women before 973 remoe was decided who would get worse and so called back alley abortions from people who are not doctors who are and they often got very ill or even died from this is that the world will be returning to it's worth noting, well worth noting, this woman went to the hospital because she tried to terminate her own pregnancy. the texas, i've already made it illegal, not a crime, but illegal for women to get abortions after about 6 weeks. one of the things i've been wondering about is what are women in texas doing? and we seem to be getting some information. it's not that they're necessarily not

getting abortions anymore. they just maybe get abortions that are not safe. and that may be a story that becomes a more widespread united states depending what the supreme court does and how much does this reminds us yet again, just how polarizing the subject of abortion is in the us. well, not just polarizing it. your top story about the election of friends really get to divide that that's global and including the united states, a divided between liberal democracy in authoritarianism. here in the states, we have a struggle mike, in france and many other countries about whether the nation will continue to be a democratic nation with rights protected for everyone with basic rights with limits on power or whether we're moving to more authoritarian direction. there's a member of congress to merge each other green. she recently said of women, she's the one that are self, of course, but she said we are in the weaker sex. we're our partner. we are our husbands wife . i think what right now the polarization are speaking of is not just about abortion, it's about what it means to be a citizen,

what it means you are part of the protocol community and one sided advise. and i'd say, does not think women are equal to men, even ironically, some women themselves congresswoman margie children is a women. but she is saying women are not equal to men. and i think that's really what's at stake in a larger sense women's equality and whether the united continues as a democracy. ok, crystal send that. thank you very much. indeed for your insights today. thank you very much. i appreciate it. now mexicans are deciding whether president andrew manuel has abra door should stay or go in an unprecedented referendum called on the president himself. he says the recall vote is vital to confirm his democratic mandate. but opponents say the $18000000.00 exercise is a waste of money. according for boycott, 40 percent of voters must take part for themselves to be binding. content does not do, must go on that with so many we had to suffer and put up with we were only satisfied

with making means and social networks. but in any case, they kept on doing what they wanted. so i think this is going to be a good opportunity to put a stop to them when possible, get him as a own. it seems to me an unprecedented opportunity for the people of mexico to legalize this type of citizen participation. the possibility of recalling the president to be able to decide in the future if we like or dislike the president. we have lucas and to have the possibility of revoking him in the middle of his term of office on a manual rep. hollow has more on this, i from mexico city. there been a lot of criticisms of the way that the government has chosen to activate this recall mechanism. for starters, one of the biggest, if not the biggest criticism, is that it's a waste of money at nearly $80000000.00. the president has a nearly 60 percent approval rating. many people simply asking the question why hold a referendum at all? so what we're hearing from some critic, some political experts who say that the president is simply manipulating the recall

mechanism so that he can sort of galvanize his party's base ahead of the next presidential elections in mexico due to take place in 2024 others have criticize that this is a slippery slope saying that a referendum of this sort could sort of open the door for an end of term limits in a country where presidents are only allowed to serve us a single 6 your 6 year term. there have been protests both for and against the lead up to this election. and there's also the question of voter turnout do. a recent survey suggests that only as many as as much as 27 percent of eligible voters have participated or would participate in this referendum that's far below the 40 percent threshold needed for the outcome of this boat to be legally binding. nevertheless, president lope is over, says that he will honor the results of the vote regardless of voter turnout, which means that if he loses that vote, he has vowed to resign. a funeral has been held for palestinian women shots by

israeli forces and occupied the west bank town of his on hundreds of people attended the burial of the mother of 6. she's a 3rd senior woman to be killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank on sunday. and in janine israeli forces fired at a vehicle injuring one man. he is believed to be the brother of the suspects behind the shooting that killed at 3 people in tel aviv last thursday. jeanine at residence have blocked roads in preparation for possible raids by is really forces r m r g e t is a political writer and research as she explains what's fueling you tensions between israelis and palestinians. these are palestinian acts of resistance and confrontation. i think it has less to do with the fact that some of the on and more to do with the fact that for the past couple of years, israel hasn't been increasing. it has been intensifying and further

brutalizing its assault on palestinians. it is gone to a point where and nobody say, not palestinians with israeli citizenship, not palestinians, and the best policy in the west and not palestinians and forced exile. and i really think that the settler regime is reaching a point where it's we either take it all now or, or, or we risk losing parts of it. you know, they're, they're annexation that, that have been and didn't have much to do with the changes. this is the part and parcel of these really secular regime in terms of settlements across the west bank as well as an historic pastime. there has been an intensification of land seizures of burning palestinian all the groves of a mass detention and incarceration of politically active use as well as demolitions

. we have reached some peak frequencies in demolitions of palestinian civilian infrastructure in 48 as well as on the west bank in jerusalem. and as it, let's not forget the carpet bombing that took place last year in the us as well. so there is a complete full force going on with the aiding and abetting of the international community with the israeli judicial system playing a key part in it, and the continued militarization of these rated population. the testers, introlatta kara calling on their president to resign. oh, they go to buy a roger pack. so for the worst economic crisis since independence from britain in 1948 to land cans of had to struggle with mumps of food and fuel shortages and power cuts last more than 12 hours. we are in the dog

a bit. we need to change the system. we want that i get back just to go. we don't want them to rule of a nation like the yang b. yeah. but i just want them to leave us and you want a new cabinet to do what is right for the generations to come. you know fernandez reports not from columbus. now there are hundreds, thousands of protest says that have come out here today. many of them coming out voluntarily, and all of them say they have had enough that to go to her, must go home reference or go to alberta, butter. obviously here behind the scenes, a lot of food, all of this donated voluntarily if we could just go as buns. there's biscuits that floss of hot tea and coffee loads of water bottles. and all of those things donated, obviously by people who are pretty much backing the process i here we see

a little medical table which is full of things like strep. so for those who are shouting, i, you've got basic, our medical supplies are things not policy to move, cost it up for the rain and even something we saw was that among the people, distributing food and our drinks, hot drinks are things like cup of tea is to ensure that people stay well in this weather. and i like you said, i can assure you, this gentleman over here are distributing hot tea. it's happening so lots of people coming voluntarily know to people who can't join in the protest. also helping out with whatever supplies they can muster together, where they do packets of biscuits or create loads. australian prime minister scott morrison has admitted his conservative governments isn't perfect. as he calls an election for may the 21st, his coalition trails the center left opposition. after 3 years dominated by the
