to by mr. mac rome. we know that before the sun from from 2000, and 19 and 73, she was not very, very good in this debate. so she has to make a lot of progress to be at the same level that the president and we will see if she would succeed on that. the great moment we will, that everybody's expecting it's totally put arise. we have now 3 blocks we are left is blocked with mr. middle, so got a very good score, much more than the little mold on the board predicted. we have the, the blood with mr. macro and we, as the far right blow. so we have 3 blogs, the traditional parties like the socialist party, although ride bodies of nearly it is a p other. so we don't know what will be the future for them. is a big worry for the media, don't it's a big worry for the political leaders of this to the traditional party, the socialist and the ride. and so we will see when after the presidential alex

elections. i would say that mister con has been one of the worst prime ministers for pakistan when it comes to domestic politics, economics and foreign policy. almost every country in the world is upset, the pakistan, whether it is the middle eastern countries, or it is countries in the west, united states and europe. and pakistan's neighbors are, comes to economy or the pakistan economy is flailing. ah, the ruby has touched its worst in decades. ah, there's all sort of, you know, dead that because he needs money, but the i m f is not willing to release the next ranch. and all of this is because of mr. cons policies and his politics and finally, at the country is more polarized study than it was. it was even in the preceding few decades. all of this is a legacy of mr. ron con. the claims president vladimir zalinski says he spoken to the german chancellor about imposing more sanctions on russia. local officials say

they found graves with a bodies of dozens of civilians in the village of the sofa that's near keith. russian forces have recently withdrawn from the area for the sight of another mass grave in boucher, ukrainian war crimes, prosecutors and forensic experts of zoomed 9 more bodies in total. the cities mass is 320 civilians have been confirmed dead. the initial discovery of bodies in civilian clothes and boucher prompted more sanctions against russia. and the countries expulsion from the un human rights council and ukrainian officials say the death toll from pride as missiles strike on a train station. and cramp tours has risen to 57 more than a 100 people were injured. moscow has denied responsibility for the attack, suggesting ukraine targeted civilians does provided no evidence for its claim. in my career to the west of quay volunteers, i helping with the clean up after the retreat of russian forces. but as our correspondent emma can found out, the task brings its own dangers. 10 days ago,

the ukrainian army in russian forces will pitch 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. 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 is i found good to bombs, but it was florida on the garden. elizabeth did become you. 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, there can be no community that they 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 are still clearing houses where they look in the cellar methodically,

making sure there's nothing that might explode. the woman who lives here watches nervously satisfied his claire. the soldiers lea, urine, with yes, it's this type of operation that will allow those who still have some hope to return this ukrainian tank has become a makeshift memorial to those who died, defending this place. the residence of la 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, out 0, mark on it. meanwhile, thousands of refugees fling ukraine every day heading to neighboring romania. russian air strikes in the south of forcing many people to leave your hardihood. as

ah, welcome back. a pilgrim mind about top stories here on al jazeera president. manuel macro has come out on top of the 1st round of voting in france's presidential election, but most of the votes counted, he's expected a face far right. candidate marine le pen and a runner from the 24th of april. most opinion polls suggest he'll win, but with a very tight market. thousands of women con supporters of rallied in pakistan's capital islamabad. the day after parliament removed him as prime minister and a vote of no confidence and peace which he was his successor. later on monday and local officials say they found graves with the bodies of dozens of civilians and a ukrainian village near keith. russian forces had withdrawn from the area. ukrainian president doesn't speak into the german chancellor about imposing more sanctions on moscow. with

no video showing our residents in china's largest city, protesting and shouting at officials, has been posted on line. shanghai is 26000000 people are under a strict lockdown. after a record number of new code 19 infections, people can only go out once a day to collect food delivered by korea, but many say they don't have enough to eat. fed up residents have also been filmed, looting food at supply points, will katrina, you joined us live now from beijing. katrina's. a residence from shanghai. pretty angry about this. locked down and tell us what's been happening, that that's how millions of people and a strict lockdown losing the patients. especially because monday, the 11th of april to day was initially the date when the lockdown was supposed to end. and now it seems because of rise in cases that affected areas are going to be locked down, at least for some weeks. more now the latest number of cases reported on monday was

more than $25000.00 bringing that total since the beginning of march in shanghai, more than $200000.00 positive curve and cases, shanghai, china's commercial sense of remains the epi center of the outbreak here in china, which is the worst that the country his face since the beginning of the pandemic. and what's really important to know is that most of these cases are a symptomatic, but the government is continuing to insist that any one or test positive be moved to a quarantine center. and more than 62 of these makeshift centers of hospitals have been set up across the city, at least 38000 people haven't flown in from other parts of the country to help manage them. there has been a lot of complaints about the pooled living conditions within these centers because many of them have been very hastily thrown together and people also complaining about being separated from family members. and for those who are staying home, isolating at home. widespread complaints continue about lack of access to fresh

food or other necessities such as medical supplies or medical treatment. the government says they're working to improve this, but the improvement has been really patchy across the city and some people have been describing this whole lockdown is quite chaotic. and still, we're seeing paging working very hard to set any posts or protests or criticisms of the governments online and on social media and katrina, president. she has praise china as handling of the pandemic. that's despite record infections in shanghai. so how the authorities framing this lockdown for the way the authorities are defending this whole thing is by saying that this 0 tolerance approach is working to keep the death rate lower. and indeed in shanghai since the beginning of this current outbreak, officially there have been 0 debts from covered 19 in the city. now, many experts especially abroad are very skeptical of that number, but still this is what the government is saying is the only way to go for china,

especially considering how in, in trying to the elderly or people over 60 to only 60 percent. also of them all vaccination. so authorities are very worried about those who are vulnerable to the disease. and over the weekend we had soon to learn chinese vice premier visit shanghai and she's kind of considered the didn't. zach disaster management expert who was usually sent in from beijing to different areas around the country. so her presence in shanghai is really a strong indication that she didn't paying in the central government are not happy with the way things have been handled in shanghai, the doubling down what they've seen as a previously lacks approach. and reportedly she g, ping's instructions all to be to double down and re commit to what they call this dynamic 0 clearing policy of carpet 19. so that means we're going to see more mass testing more quarantine and more isolation. alright katrina, you live for the invasion,

katrina up. thank you now pulls of clothes in mexico's referendum to decide whether president and that has money. lopez, alberto should stay in power. preliminary estimates suggest of a 9 to present to voted back to him, remaining in office, but the town not around 18 percent is well below the 40 percent needed for a binding result. by the rapid report. mexican citizens took to the polls on sunday for a 1st ever national referendum to decide the political fate of president. and that is manuel. nope. is overt other outside this polling station in mexico city, many seemed eager to cast their votes. no, nothing. for example, i think the most important thing is that this exercise will keep happening in the future independent of this president in the future. this will be an opportunity that citizens didn't have in the past. that okay is i think it's good and positive . it makes our society politically active and that's a valuable thing. oh, the referendum on the presidency is

a divisive topic in mexico. one that has sparked demonstrations both for and against some critics or calling the referendum unnecessary, given that president lopez over about already has a nearly 60 percent approval rating. others have argued the referendum is being manipulated by president lopez, but others party to rally supporters ahead of the next presidential election in 2024 in the state will say. so la gray lists in this process rule set by congress imply. there cannot be a campaign by the president, nor can public resources be used for his ramifications. nevertheless, what we have seen are public servants from the present party at every level is basically campaigning for it. some have even argued the vote could open the door to removing term limits in a country where presidents are only allowed to serve a single 6 year mandate outside of the political debate. however, many social scholars have argued the new referendum process is ultimately a good thing for mexican democracy. the 8th that yielded as he would as it. but he

puts you into this and other forms of citizen participation are important and necessary as we confront the crisis of democracies. these mechanisms of direct democracy should serve to empower citizens in the public space and then the decision making processes. a recent national survey suggest that only as much as 27 percent of eligible voters will participate in the recall referendum for below the 40 percent needed for the results to be binding. president lopez, obadiah lord, however, has bound to respect the outcome of the referendum and resign if he received less than 50 percent of votes, regardless of voter turnout. though polls have now closed election, official say it could still take several days for the official count to be announced. monroe ended up a low al jazeera mexico city. a federal has been held for a palestinian woman shot dead by his writing forces and the occupied westbank town of her son. hundreds of people attended the burial of the mother of 6. she is the

3rd palestinian woman to be killed by israeli forces in the elk by the west bank on sunday. and in jeanine is raining force his father to vehicle entering one man, residents, block roads expecting possible raids by israeli forces. john holman, knocked bodies jerusalem has more and what's happening. and jenny, there's been a situation developing around jeanine refugee camp in the occupied west bank. and that immediate situation really began on thursday evening when a gum and that was from that camp. i went to central tel aviv and shot various people killing 3 of them. now after that, israeli security forces have asked his father the father of that gun man at rod her same is the name of the government. to turn himself into them. they said they want

to question him. now he's refused to do that. he told out his era that his morning his son is not going to go with them. and if they want him, they can come and get him. now on sunday evening at the his family members said that in the last of the calls that he'd receive 2 to ask him to hand himself in israeli security official said that they would come in to janine at refugee camp on of raid. if he didn't do that now, why is that important? because jeanine refugee camp has a lot of gun then, and it has a lot of weapons. so this really is a prime of, for a confrontation and the, the mos in the refugee camp have been. and a announcing the people need to be vigilant. right? now the secretary general of is lamar g had, has been saying, has been putting his fighters on high alert. so this is

a very tense situation and both is re lease and palestinians. remember 20 years ago, a raid that lasted for days on jeanine refugee camp that left more than 20 israeli soldiers dead, and more than 50 palestinians dead. so the situation is always already really tense here. and there are fears that arrayed a large scale raid on jeanine refugee camp could just open pandora's box here. not dotted in somalia. i've been the 1st public blood bank there in 30 years. it was inspired by one doctor's personal experience. out there was, malcolm webb went to me to talk i made. abraham says he'll never forget the day a car bomb nearly killed him. he says his shattered legs were gushing blood. he's a mechanic in sir molly, as capital mogadishu. so as it was in the morning when

a client brought me his car for repairing as soon as i started working on it and the car blew up because it had a bomb attached. and i didn't know about it. it's here in the street right outside of his home that him and other mechanics work on took, took cars and bikes. it's right here that the bomb went off. he would have joined the other hundreds of somalis who die in armed conflict. every, if it wasn't for one man, doctor i made abdicate in mohammed says he was tired of seeing people bleed to death. so he set up somali as only public blood bank funded by private donors. this is what inspired him 5 years ago. about 600 people were killed when 2 truck bombs exploded in mogadishu was the worst attack in somalia. as history investigators blamed the armed group out bob, many of those killed blood to death from that injuries. when i talked to amad, decided to do something about it,

but i'm going to thought it feels like the country is in an emergency all the time with many explosions and accidents. there is always a need for blood. this center supplies blood to many hospitals in the city to save the lives of wounded people, mothers and childbirth and others. it's all, she's one of the many people who have been saved with the blood. the doctor had collect. he and his team deliver it to the hospital where it needed. he says more people die of blood loss than from the bullets hit them. and the u. n says about $5000.00 women die in childbirth in somalia, every year, many of whom could be saved by blood transfusions, marleen rag marleen is another one of the blood recipients. he says a dr. misdiagnosed, him with tuberculosis and gave him strong drugs that destroyed his kidneys. he now depends on kidney dialysis with their native blood. well you know what, what's a good thing for the community without him so many people would be dying because of lack of blood. like me, if i did not get blood from him, it would be hard for me to stay alive.
