4:01 pm
and one of his pop cabinet ministers for breaking code was 19 last rule. denisa. parliament approves along the way to sexual violence bill, but it says support victim and it's for frank vocal has been fired from one of the highest profile jobs in basketball puzzle. has paid the price for his latest st. missing out on the n b. a players. welcome to the news. our ukraine says russia has nearly finished moving the military unit. it needs and 2 eastern positions for a renewed offensive, much of the fighting is expected to focus on mario pulse. that's the port city that suffered the worst bombardment and damage of the war. and russia has announced that it stops ukrainian service men from escaping out of a seal plant in mario poll. last night, april 11th in murray. paul,
4:02 pm
the rest of the cranial troops surrounded the territory of the l. each plant and maiden unsuccessful attempt to escape from the city. a group of ukrainian servicemen numbering up to a 100 people in armored vehicles, tried to break through from the territory of the plans and leave the city in a northern direction. this attempted breakthrough was thwarted by air and artillery strikes. meanwhile, the russian president, vladimir putin says the west cannot isolate his country, and he'll keep working closely with friendly countries. hooton's been hosting close allied bella, russian president, alexander lucas shanker, in russia as far east. they attended an event at a conference room marching the annual space day. many of the russian troops who invaded ukraine, went through bella, roost. i'm person has again been justifying what he calls russia special military operation. unfortunately, ukraine was created as some kind of launch pad for aggression against russia. and
4:03 pm
the shoots of nationalism was totally cherished. this new generation of ukrainian nationalists are especially question with russia. you see how nazi ideology became a fact of life and ukraine? it was unavoidable if we are taking steps to provide security for russia. we didn't have any other choice. we did the right thing and i have no doubt that our aims will be achieved. if we don't intend to be isolated, it's impossible to severely isolate anyone in the modern world, especially such a fast country as russia. that's why we are going to continue to work with those about the partners. if you want to cooperate, do we need to be more on that shortly with dorsey? jabari will join us for moscow. but 1st to rob mcbride, who is joining us from the v, that's in western ukraine. rob to the recruiting and have a firm idea of when this russian offensive in the east of the country will actually begin i think there is a growing expectation here that says there is a,
4:04 pm
something's going to happen relatively imminently that we're hearing reports of, for example, increased shelling, artillery shelling in the low hands region. it's not known if that is a prelude to anything all, whether the russians still feel as though they need to put more units in place. me . while the evacuations from the east continue of the 9, a humanitarian corridors that are working, 5 of them are bringing people directly out of the east, particularly that the lu, hand sca region of the cities here in the west. i have been filling up with thousands of new arrivals every day here in the city of even other towns and cities near by, which are considered relatively safe. there is also a humanitarian corridor out of mary you, paul. once more, this is for private vehicles to get to let people a get out of that city. the fighting continues. there has to be said, the russians are pretty much in control of most of the city. but there is a small contingent of a ukrainian fighters and soldiers determined to hang on to the small part of the
4:05 pm
city that they, they still control in video messages being uploaded to social media. they are vowing to fight to the very last man they say. and meanwhile, there's a lot of debate about just what kind of tactics the russians may well adopt in this and new offensive, whether they will be committing large units. larger numbers of ground forces in close quarter combat with the ukrainians, much as they did in the early parts of this war. but at that they suffered, as we know, very heavy losses in the towns and cities north of care of before they pulled those troops back. so there is a lot of speculation about whether they will rely far more heavily on the extensive asked superiority that they possess. also the artillery and the rockets that they still have about that of course, that means old. a more far more of the kind of damage that we've been seeing in, mary, you, paul, and it. but according to press lensky here, he believes the russians they are capable and willing to see the kind of
4:06 pm
destruction that we've seen in mary po, basically blasting their way from the east town by town, city by city. thank you so much, rob bride reporting from the even western ukraine. we cross over to moscow. now we're bringing dorothy jabari to tell us about to put an end lucas shanker, a meeting earlier today or so. what have they said about ukraine? well, the 2 leaders shared the view that russia had no choice, and they had to act preemptively, because according to the russian president, the threat from ukraine was imminent and they had to start their so called special military operation in order to insure their own security in this course that was the view that was shared by the bell, russian president, alexander chicago, who agreed with his long time, friend and ally, a lot of me. and we heard from the 2 men following their meeting,
4:07 pm
and the russian president, thanking the bell a russian president for his role in starting those negotiations that are still ongoing between the russians and the ukrainians. about how to end this conflict and letting me put and said that it was the work of. 5 alexander lucretia code that the negotiation process started, and that means is the perfect venue to continue the discussions. the russian president also said that he's confident that the relationship between the 2 countries is only getting stronger. and they also discuss specifically the ongoing military operation in ukraine. as well as establishing what bruton called a common defense of area to strengthen their western porter. this is something that we haven't heard about before. and the 2 men have apparently agreed upon establishing this defense area and also to carry out further military joint military exercises. the general theme of the day was one of unity,
4:08 pm
and that's the 2 world leaders are going to become closer. and alexander lucas shinkel, also thinking of recruiting for inviting him to this highly restrictive area in the rushes, far east, which host the cause. we're drunk here and he's the 1st world leader to be allowed to visit this area and was very much and thankful for that opportunity. he also said that bella, luce will never leave russia side, and they will always support this country in the said, even though they are different states, they're part of the same homeland. right. so the theme was very much one of supporting vladimir putin and vladimir putin being very much in favor of strengthening their relationship. thank you so much sorts of demari reporting from moscow. now the russian back separatist forces are refuting allegations that chemical weapons were used in their attempts to see as mario pull, the ukrainian politician ivana clim push,
4:09 pm
says moscow or its allies have used quote, unknown substance which cause people to suffer a respiratory failure. no evidence has been put forward, however, on the u. k is armed forces minister says they can't yet verify the allegations. so i'm afraid that we know nothing more than than you've been able to report which is that there was some report circulating on ukrainian social media yesterday evening . that chemical weapons had been used in mary paul overnight. that's not something that defense intelligence here in london have been able to confirm nor any of their intelligence counterparts in with our allies around the world. and indeed, pleasant presidents. lensky address last night, also referred to report. so there's been no verification within the ukrainian system. etha is really forces of fire tear gas and rubber bullets, palestinian students inside a university campus in the occupied west bank. the palestinian red crescent says
4:10 pm
doesn't have been injured. witnesses say the violence began in the morning inside the car duty university near to cut him up not far from the separation wall and elsewhere. and the occupied westbank is really forces have withdrawn from jeanine after detaining more palestinians. 17 people have been arrested so far and is really raised in the occupied territory. israel intensified its incursions after palestinian man shot and killed 3 israelis and tele vive late last week. 5 palestinians have been killed in the rage that followed and separately is really forces shot that a palestinian worker and escal on stopping what they describe as an attempted stubbing attack. deborah, him has more from inside the janine refugee camp. we're here in the jeanie refugee camp where young palestinians are blocking the entrances to the refugee camp. gearing up for a potential is really raid they are putting on ta years and garbage been because
4:11 pm
they really army has threatened to read the camp. and they want to arrest the family of rod has a, he's a gunman who killed 3 israelis in an attack. what a bar and tell you what the family says. they had no idea their son was flossing, anything. and they're not intending to turn themselves in. now, according to all estimates, jeanine has thousands of gone thing gone. men were ready to flash with these radio army that's almost rave. the cab and the janine area. every day we've met people here who say they're sad, they're angry by the late killing of palestinians by the israeli army. but they say they are ready to fight. the us has told non emergency staff to leave shanghai because of a surgeon cove in 1900 cases as well as china's handling of the outbreak. beijing regards the move as an attack to long job. we strong opposed to pull translation of
4:12 pm
to recreation by the us and have made turn complaints. they should immediately stop tech in china's economic prevention palsy political manipulation with a pin mc issue and stop smearing and discrediting china. and they things and criticize for how it's controlled the virus. it's now easing restrictions in some shanghai neighborhoods. the cities 26000000 people have been put under strict lockdown for the past 2 weeks. here's katrina you with more shanghai authorities say 43 percent of all neighborhoods in shanghai have had they have restrictions either. but what this means really varies from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. in many cases, what it means is that if your particular residential compound has not have had any positive co vid case for about 2 weeks, you may be finally allowed to walk out your front door. and that means you can get some walk around the courtyard of your compound, but in many cases you're not allowed to actually leave your compound and entered public areas. and for the relative few that are allowed to walk into the streets,
4:13 pm
there really is not much to do because the majority of businesses remain closed. i think the bottom line is that in shanghai, most of the 25000000 people living in that city are still under some form of strict locked down. and the reason is because of the numbers on tuesday, we had 23000 cases or just over reported of curve at 19. this is slightly down from the figures on monday, but it's still nowhere near where authorities want those numbers to be on tuesday, shanghai official said that the outbreak is still not effectively under control. and so what we're seeing here is the government really under increasing pressure to do something. it says it is eating a restrictions, but just really mildly because they are facing a lot of complaints about the way this lockdown has been handled so far. is out of the u. k, and we're hearing the british police will find prime minister wars johnson for break breeching,
4:14 pm
covered 1900 lockdown laws and what's become known as the party gates scandal. senior cabinet minister chancellor wishes to knock will also be penalized. the scandal has angered many a britain over allegations that the government floated its own. pandemic restrictions. ne barker is joining us in london. tell us more about this. and even whether this was expected at all was so much the scandal that won't go away for the british prime minister. and who was to think now that richie soon act, the finance minister, the chance of exchequer would be dragged into into it all, as well as being already a pretty difficult few days for for snack. given revelation surrounding his wife and her non dom tax status. but now the conclusion of this, a metropolitan police, an inquiry into misgivings, wrongdoings at number 10, during locked down when the country was following strict covered restrictions, the met police began his investigation in january. this, after a top civil servant su gray concluded that there was
4:15 pm
a culture of wrongdoing within downing street. and the conclusions of that met police investigation of now focused on the prime minister and soon as they have not both now been issued with fixed penalty notices. that is basically a fine. it is not equivalent to a criminal conviction, but if the fine is not paid, it could well lead to a court summons and the opposition politicians are clearly at pouncing on this demanding the immediate resignation of sumac and boys. johnson. we wait to hear from both the prime minister and the chancellor. no doubt very soon in response to this yet. and even, you know, at the time, obviously many people were very angered by all of this. accusing the prime minister of a floating, his own pandemic restrictions. i mean, is this likely to satisfy some people? i think the generally there is a sense for look, can i what's the,
4:16 pm
what was the prime minister got away with her just to find a he is of cool sooner the leader of the country, somebody who is the forefront of setting the rules. and as such, i'm it has, i'm good, a tremendous amount of people not only from the opposition benches, but across the board politically from within his own party to that. so those rules were not being followed. and just to remind you of some of the results of the su grey inquiry, let's not forget that she is a, a political insider and why whole regarded as the sleaze buster of white hole, responsible for outing other breaches of her governmental and parliamentary rules in the past, i mean, she concluded this is before the met police took over, i said that it was difficult to justify some of the actions that took place by downing street staff that say should not have been allowed to happen. and that they were failures of leadership. and judgment, that was, of course, a toned down reports that was essentially put on hold when the map police and
4:17 pm
decided to take over and conduct an investigation of their own. we wait now to see where the su gray will now follow up with a much fuller conclusion of her findings. but beyond, of course, boys, johnson and richie sooner were talking about a significant number of downing street says staff who been issued with fines 50 in total. so far and clearly all of that going spiraling all the way to the top with the prime minister and the chancellor facing these funds to okay, thank you so much. new barker reporting from london. her some of what's coming up later this hour, millions of people in somalia are struggling to survive. one of the countries worst routes in decades. and i'm john henry in chicago were working class families are struggling as they are across the nation with inflation coming up in sports, the title holders chelsea, me to produce an unlikely champion. we come back and he will be here with that
4:18 pm
story a little later. ah, but 1st to lanka has defaulted on it's $51000000000.00 foreign debt. the island nation is in the grip of its worst economic crisis in memory, causing acute food fuel and electricity shortages. public anger has flared in recent weeks. sri lanka is finance. ministry says it's the full thing to preserve the cache. it has while it waits for an international monetary fund. bailouts. fernandez has more from colombo, with just a day to go to the local singer let. i'm a new year. this, the colombo shot of hub is teeming. you can see stalls selling to wrong, and people are sort of taking a look here, another ford shop where people are trying to buy some trees for the new year. but i remind that down here of what the situation is, a generator,
4:19 pm
just to keep things running for the power of because many, many people are suffering with paul car. just one of the issues that's the reality of the economic price is the tree loc as going through. and we're just hearing from the government that they have decided in the interim to stop debt repayment in the process of going to the i m f. they will be looking to restructure their debt. that announcement has come today. some economy say this is far too late in the coming. they've been asking for it for months and months. and the government insisted that it was in control. but now deciding to put a halt in the interim and can centrally restructure debt, then gonna come out and go that route with the guy. now, everything has gone up in price i came to by close by the are so expensive that the question is, is it enough for months and months? economist, opposition politicians have been asking the government to put
4:20 pm
a hold on its debt repayment to negotiate a sort of a plan default. and meanwhile, to save the precious foreign currency, which is for so depleted. and that's what led to all one of these shortages fuel cooking, gas, food items, medicine. and that is what a has been the rallying cry to the government. iran temporarily suspending counsellor services and i'm gone. it's done after protests in front of its diplomatic missions, crowds damaged part of the consulate and harass while afghans in couple states rally in front of iran embassy there, angered by unverified videos, claiming to show african refugees being beaten by iranian moms and border guards, race groups have long documented to run the treatment of african refugees. it's home to more than 5000000 in somalia, millions of people are struggling to survive. one of the countries worst routes in decades. nearly half of the population is directly impacted facing extreme levels
4:21 pm
of food insecurity. the united nation says famine is a risk in the area highlighted here and reads it so bad that about $700000.00 have been displaced and with no rain soaring food prices and huge funding shortfalls. there are no signs of improvement. children under 5 are among the most vulnerable, roughly one and a half 1000000 are facing acute malnutrition through the end of the year. let's speak about this with peter smith, who's the us food and agriculture organizations representative in somalia. he's joining us from a capital mug. additional welcome to al jazeera sir. just break this down for us and tell us what it means for people on a day to day basis. thank you very much for having me for the support you need to speak. yeah, you mentioned some very staggering numbers. just just a recall, just only a couple of months back. the number of people that facing you stream levels of
4:22 pm
clarity was only 2400000. we're not talking about 6000000. that's a drastic increase in terms of the number, the number of people affected. what we're seeing here in the, in the, in the field going around doing assessments is obviously highlights of mortality. we know that they won't be much of a harvest this year. we coming out of several fail purposes and the prospect is, is really green. that won't be at harvest until the very end, the very end of the year. we know that and what the churches is, but they're the rivers are extremely, extremely low level. so reryan production is also extremely low. if at all possible, what we're seeing here is, i mentioned be that the fail, the rain, the season. what we're seeing also is an increase in prices, prices in the market,
4:23 pm
price change affected. and for us collectively, the us government partners, it means transaction profit, much higher price to operate today. somebody is much more expensive than you know earlier on the or year ago. right? so ok. so what we saw back in 2011 is that famine was caused by a combination of factors that you just outline for us, including droughts, high global, and domestic food prices and poor local grain harvest. so we keep hearing that somalia is on the verge of famine. are these not the same conditions that were back in 2011 at the time it was declared as a famine? these are very, very, very similar condition to be as well as the conditions we had in 2017. i think the big lessons we've learned that was one that we need to communicate better. and we've been really sensitizing many people as far back as
4:24 pm
last year already about the security of the situation. what we're lacking here, and one of the lessons that we have around but is not translating into reality now . is that a severe lack of funding that applies to i feel that applies to all that you an agency that you've made to response plan that was launched the last last december is severely and from that. and that is really the key we are. we know what to, to, to, to, to intervene with privatization. why don't we know the air is affected? we are ready to scalar when we are, we are definitely lacking funding. look, i'm going to ask you about the funding and just a moment, but 1st back to this issue a famine. do you think the somalia is facing a famine right now? we are facing farming live conditions. our area, as you mentioned it earlier on the sheets areas in the country where we have and
4:25 pm
come up with, with around 8081000 people that are facing funding land condition. but it's very clear that if it is confirmed that we have a definite failed brain season, we will end up in a proper funding declaration. and that is affecting the central part of some money as well as some parts of the country. okay. and on this very important issue, if the, the funding, i mean somalia is severely underfunded as, as we've been reporting it just 4.4 percent. that is the latest statistic that i have. why do you think that is and what is at stake for the country and for the people? if this assistance is not scaled up and right away? i think okay, day been completing crises, obviously that we, we had a gun and we have also dropped in. and of course of late, and you mentioned it earlier on, we have the crisis, the new crane, and i think a lot of the focus, a lot of the attention on
4:26 pm
a lot of the funding has actually gone towards those practices and especially so and ukraine. what it means is, if we don't get the funding and it's not too late, is that we're going to have excess mortality that we should try to hold by you when we call these a proper funding. it means that mentioned earlier, no capacity for the country to, to, to produce its own food like salt mortality, which we're going in increasing, which we know like stop major source of income in terms of g d, p. we know that the level of malnutrition, severely monetary, still doing that in some that is increasing. we are not talking about 1400000 children moderation, which are 330 phase, severe, accurate attrition of this number. they're just going to be going to go out. and lastly, i think we will continue seeing displacement. we already have a boss, 700000 people that are displayed some search or what are past your and these number
4:27 pm
i'm going to increase. what we're trying to do is really prevent this, this, this, but not in urban migration and make sure that people get and a few days. but also that we make sure that people are in a position to maintain their livelihood. ok, thank you so much. peter smith for joining us for market issue. thank you very much for having me. now the number of dead i beg your pardon, number of dead from tropical storm meggy in the philippines has risen to 42 rain. his hampering evacuations from flooded villages in the central and southern region . and teams are searching for survivors in several towns hit by mud slides. about 30000 families have been displaced. and what's the 1st major storm in the philippines this year? come for a check on the weather. here is everson. hello, we've got some very heavy rain likely to see some siding into central and eastern parts of china over the next couple of days is long line of cloud. this weather
4:28 pm
system will make its way further southward. huge mass of very wet weather coming in across central china easing, which was eastern parts of china, much cooler behind as well. that is likely to cause widespread flooding. it'll drift its way further eastward. so southern parts of japan, seeing that the rain initially much of japan seeing the right as we go on through thursday. notice just to the south of that we have developing typhon malackle, making his way further north was that should stay off shore, passing to the south west of guam. but it is still going to draw a lot of moisture in across a good part of japan over the next couple of days. and we said a lot of moisture recently, of course from what was tropical storm tropical depression, meggy just around central parts of the philippines. and please to say it will be a little dry here over the next few days, but we will still see further showers exacerbating the flooding already in place, but they are in the process of eating, re not eating across southern parts of india, forceful anchor as well so plenty of funds downpours coming through here over the
4:29 pm
next day or so. chances some showers further north was bangladesh in a better way, whether towards the foothills of him. alas, staying hot to the north west. still to come on, the al jazeera is our har. how farmer's everywhere are responding. the soaring price of fertilizer caused by the war in ukraine. launch wars many sounded the la our communities repairing to bryce, who was president of ida and takes aim at so called goes guns, virtually untraceable weapons which can be assembled from coming up in sports a 3 time grand slam winner has made his return to tennis after more than a year else with injury. ah, healing the debate, there is no he job better. you know, if anyone here talks about women's rights also does this um, be ashamed of then says no topic is off the table. we were taught to see abortion

4:31 pm
ah, hello again. the top stories on the al jazeera news, our british police will find prime minister boys johnson for breaching coven 90 in lockdown laws. and what's become known as the party gates scandal. senior cabinet minister chancellor richey soon, i will also be p in ally's ukraine says it expects russia to launch a new offensive in the east. us officials say they believe moscow is reinforcing and re supplying its troops in these on bass region. and russia, as president says, the conflict with ukraine was inevitable. it was just a matter of time. blood reputed made the comments while meeting bella, russian president, alexander lucas jenko, in the far east. we are taking you over to the u. s. because we're hearing that several people have been shot in a metro station in the u. s. city of new york. the incident taken place in 36
4:32 pm
street station that's in brooklyn, firefighters have been dispatched to the sea and falling reports of smoke at that particular station. let's get an update with a correspond gabriel is on to is joining us from from new york. i believe gabriel, just please tell us what you've heard about the shooting in the metro. well, this information is just coming in to us in the last few minutes. so we're still trying to gather the most reliable information that we have. but we can confirm that multiple people have been shot in a subway station in brooklyn. it's the 36th street station. it's in the sunset park area. a brooklyn condos might be familiar, unclear on how many people have been shot. but it appears like it's definitely more than one multiple is what we're hearing from from folks there in the new york department and fire department, have all been dispatched there several dozen different vehicles that are there
4:33 pm
responding. no official work from anyone and why pd at this juncture. clearly the entire area has been shut down into this investigation, is in the very, very early stages of even unclear if the shooter has even been apprehended or not. but clearly the subway system throughout that area. brooklyn has been completely shut down, should have more information on this in a couple minutes or so. clearly a very tense situation in brooklyn, new york right now, gabriel. while i have you, let me just ask you to tell us about this particular station and, and this area and brooklyn, because presumably at this time of the morning, it would have been busy with people who are heading to work. absolutely, it's a very busy subway line. it's a very busy part of brooklyn. this shooting happened a little bit before 9 30 am local time here in new york. so that is exactly when
4:34 pm
people would be heading into the office or commuting even people not going into the office, which is the big commuter area there, of course. and one of the most highly den, most densely populated areas, not only of new york, but of the united states. so that's why you're seeing such a, such a response to this by the police and fire department. because clearly you could estimate that there were dozens, at least people in that subway station one that's like shooting ways. looking at some video from the scene that we're starting to get in. you can clearly see officials where the f, b, i jackets on the scene as well, showing that already there and also new york police officers and tactical gear as well. of course, whenever there's any sort of shooting like this in new york, the response is going to be overwhelming from the new york police department to try
4:35 pm
to secure the situation. clearly, we'll have to find out and coming minutes. and exactly how many people have been shot. clearly this has been taken very, very seriously. as multiple crews, multiple agencies are responding to this. okay, gabriel will let you go for now. thank you for the time being. and just a reminder that is our breaking news story out of new york, where report suggests that multiple people have been shot in new york city subway station in brooklyn. more information as we get it for now. we'll tell you about food supplies because the war in ukraine is restructuring food supplies and now fertilizer to so farmers are saying that they can keep up with how expensive it's becoming. so it's consumers who will have to pay catcher, lopez, what a on has more it's harvest season in the soybean field and southern brazil, the city of food and topple. this is more than 10000 kilometers from ukraine,
4:36 pm
but the war seems closer than ever. russia and ukraine account for nearly 30 percent of global fertilizer exports with the war and sanctions are hurting supply chains across the world. though only the brazilian must go, my question is from where will brazil buy more fertilizers? we have to find the markets, but it's not that simple, but samantha, brazil is the world's 4th largest consumer of fertilizers. analysts worn higher prices means less production of essential crops. farmers are also struggling in kenya, up until recently, fertilizing this entire farm. and i robi cost about a $175.00. now it's 5 times as much like inequality all in mach well for had had with the price hike, it's gonna cost about $875.00 to cover the farm. perhaps i can continue with this business. i'm quitting because the losses are too high on her side. developing
4:37 pm
countries have been hit particularly hard by the shortage. the number of people facing food insecurity has increased over the last year, especially after the pandemic. this comes out a bad time and just ends up exacerbating our challenges globally. in this read market in athens, the effects of the war are already hurting both suppliers and consumers. model. i would pay about $20.00 to $24.00 per unit of fertilizer, but now the price is about $41.00 and i'm talking about fertilizes that are essential for us. food prices were soaring before the war. the us says it's world food price index reached the highest level last month since it started keeping records in 1990. the fighting and ukraine is intensifying the problem, putting at risk future harvest castillo visit again al jazeera.
4:38 pm
while the war in ukraine is also fueling inflation over in the u. s, where the consumer price index has jumped again, the inflation rate reached 8 and a half percent compared to a year ago. it's the fastest annual rate increase in 1981. and compared to last month that rose by point 6 percent for flexing higher fuel fuel food and housing costs. economists say inflation will cost the average us household an extra 5200 dollars this year. john 100 has been taking a closer look at how rising inflation is affecting the lives of ordinary americans . he sent this reports from chicago. inflation is x, the ways or leanest, smith, members, each shops drives nearly every aspect of her life. we went from lit than to store brand fee because i love it. my daughter love it, and that's what we could afford. the inflation have in the store. we used to can spin fe, 20 bucks on lunch,
4:39 pm
