political analysts, angelina, paula, i want people to be attentive to the commercial interests that shape these platforms. studio be unscripted on al, did they, iraq? ah, the flagship of russia's black sea fleet is badly damaged. often explosion on board . moscow says it was an accident, but ukraine claims it was hit by cruise. massage. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera la you from dough are also coming up. russia says ukraine's port city of matthew pal, les fuller, i'm more than a 1000 ukranian troops of surrender. but key says this to resistance from the city . for 14 year old boys among 3 palestinians killed

by his radio security forces in the latest raids and occupied in west and heavy floods in south africa to more than 250 people and the thousands of others without homes or shelter. russia has confirmed a blast abode its war, ship mosque, about the flagship of its black sea fleet. the russian defense ministry says ammunition on board. the ship exploded, leaving it severely damaged. but the ukrainian military says it struck the vessel with cruise missiles. the crew estimates to be around $500.00 has been evacuated. but sammy purist from the international institute for strategic studies. he says, ukraine's miniature technology will only get better as it receives more aid from the u. s. it's a huge psychological blow to russia and it's a huge psychological ukraine. i think the context here is that we know the bustle on the ground and are all to the coastal town has really gone in russia. they,

even the last couple of days from ukraine snapped down to claim them to strike roches. naval flagship is a huge boost, and i think it shows how this war is developing because it's going to show you currently and use increasingly sophisticated weaponry to defend best guys in the coastline. if this is a confirmed one, i think interesting fact about this particular vessel is commission quite a long time ago in the 1918. so despite the prominent role that is happening, rushes military operations in the past and ukraine in georgia or even in other places all the conflicts is quite old vessel. and it may actually be the case that some of this area of defense systems and not cutting edge the next you miss all that apparently was used by the cranes to strike. this vessel was, of course, bought from ukraine's coast, probably. and it has a range. you can super range. i mean, this was a barrier between 10200 kilometers. it's quite

a long range weapon. so it may actually be the case that russia ship was operating beyond its own means to defend itself. that's one of the, one of the quite surprising features of this conflict a lot which this incident really brings to the, the full from is, was rush is on force is really a great route military in the sense that has a lot of impressive weaponry in impressive formations that look really quite serious um, before they're deployed into a high intensity, conventional almost peer to peer to some of the equipment conflict, which is what's happened now. and i think even more wiring for russia with this instance is the provision of nights. a sophisticated weaponry ukrainian also is only going to intensify. you seen this from bite and mason nations. the technologies that you can choose the source of cruise missiles, defensive technologies, you create any game, only goats receipt war, and they may be too much for rushes on. horses thrashing, match in certain contexts. russia says it's not full control of the port in the

ukrainian city of matter you poll, but ukraine denies this. tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped in the besieged city, which has been under relentless bombardment, its mer accuses rational forces, of covering up war crimes which moscow denies. from the viv, rob mcbride has the latest russian state. television is broadcasting pictures that it says shows dozens of ukrainian soldiers surrendering and the proceed. southern port city of mario po, russia says more than 1000 soldiers have laid down their arms. but ukraine disputes that and insists resistance by its forces is continuing. the city's mer has accused russian forces of committing war crimes and disposing of victims bodies while keeping the city sealed off to what is on the shoulder. sadly, there are still over 100000 people in merry open,

waiting for evacuation. there are also people in the outskirts who are packed and ready to leave. that's another 60000 people making conditions worse. no humana. terry and corridors were able to open on wednesday for people to escape the fighting and move to the relative safety of the west of the country. the ukrainians accused russian forces of violating agreements that would keep the corridors safe, a claim. russia denies. meanwhile, ukrainian president flood amid zalinski, has accused the russians of using phosphorus bombs, le bobby chivalry against residential areas and civilian infrastructure over the russian army uses all types of artillery, all types of missiles, including phosphorus, bombs, and other ammunition ban under international law. zalinski also said tens of thousands of civilians have so far been killed by invading russian forces. russia has categorically denied committing any war crimes. rob mcbride, al jazeera levine,

men or the u. s. is sending an additional $800000000.00 worth of security assistance to ukraine and introducing new systems to the battlefield. ukrainian forces were received how it's a canons and $40000.00 artillery rounds. hundreds more. javelin missiles and thousands of anti tank weapons are also being supplied. cranes also getting coastal defense drones and $300.00 switch blades which are essentially suicide drones. hundreds of armored vehicles in advance. radar systems are also being sent. americans also handing over 11 soviet era helicopters they've had in their possession for years. while the package does not include russian made fighter jets which president lensky continues to ask for. the us says it won't block nature member slovak here from transferring its mig fighter planes to ukraine. practical haine has the latest on washington dc. this is very significant. we're seeing now from the us that they're willing to not only do more of her vide more for ukraine in its war efforts, their reports that the u. s. is now looking at the intelligence,

it's been sharing with ukraine and are looking to expand that, including possibly showing russian locations in the don bath. that is something they're exploring. something if they do, they probably won't confirm publicly. but if you look at the list of weapons, and again this in the 800 howitzers, one of the problems of the pentagon says is the cravings, are going to have to be trained on those systems. they're not all that simple. so they're trying to figure out exactly how that training can take place, but these are very light artillery. they can move, move, be moved very quickly. and fire shells fairly rapidly. they're sending 40000 of those color artillery radar. so why is that important? this could be a huge thing for the crating and military basically what it is. it's a radar that allows the radios to very quickly figure out where missiles and missiles and bombs are being fired from and then give that tardy information to another system. it can pretty much in real time the target that location before it has a chance to move. 3 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces in the occupied

west bank. the youngest, a 14 year old boy was shot and killed in the town of who suddenly bethlehem is really forces have been conducting raids over the past 5 days after palestinian gunmen killed 3 israelis and can be last week. these pictures are from what outside of ramallah, whereas really army vehicles with and helping with stone by demonstrating the the abraham has more from romano, according to local forces. there were minor confrontations happening at the entrance of for sandtown. where play member to this 14 year old it from, according to these really media, they say that he was hurling wallets of cocktails at these radio army. but according to palestinians, they would tell you that they, it's not unusual for them to see as really armies were the forces in their homes and the entrances of their cities. specifically, that there is an increase of rates that is happening now. all across the occupied

westbank, the ambulance took at the time before it was able to get to beside which is which lead eventually to him. so coming to his wounds after he was shot by a live bullet in the head. now another palestinian in the town of silhouette near milan at 20 you ruled has also lost his life. after confrontations with these really forces was heard that there were also armed clashes between palestine is and israelis in the town. but we can't confirmed if the 20 year old was involved, according to many witnesses, he was not involved in these armed concrete clashes when the staff a bogu to from the palestinian national initiative. he says the current tensions could become a much bigger issue for israel security services. it's dangerous discoloration.

today that is really odd to me, invaded at least 20 cities and villages all over the west bank. the new reports, the 14 or young boy child, the basically and then start as if killed a mother of 6 children the day before in the same the news and the 2 other people would come. but the worst thing happened and said, why live in the city so many times so many vehicles and the whole, the whole population came out to that place to defend the people. in my opinion, these confrontations are leading to something that could become a wide range of the problem because the palestinians are oppressed, if indeed, but it's the news i can every day since the beginning of this year, 44, been killed by me. and i think there is rarely for it is our escalating the situation to cover up for the failures,

the security failure and the political failure. they tried to suppress the palestinians to accept occupation and apartheid. and the feeling a court has rule that and people can be heard about reducing the sentence of a young palestinian held in israeli prison. i made my last for the 13 years old when he was arrested in 2015 and occupied east jerusalem. he and his cousin were linked to studying with critically injured to his railways and astro, a sentence to 12 years in jail where his family says he's suffering psychological trauma. john homan has moved from outside the court in basheba. his legal team were allowed to present written arguments to a committee as to why he should get early release, and that's what happened just an hour or so in the court. the hind us and what's come as a result of this is that now going to be allowed to verbally present arguments as to why he should be freed early. now we spoke to both his palestinian lawyer and his, his rady lawyer, slightly different versions of what comes next. is his regular was site telling us

that, oh, so terrorist charges still have to be dropped and without that there will be no reduction in sentences. palestinian lawyers seemed to think that had already happened, but sir, a slight sorts of confusion off to the processor. but what we can say for sa and is it that has been a step forward for his legal team. they will be able to present a verbal arguments and after that that they'll be more process here until an eventual verdict. a decision on whether he'll stay in prison or if he will be released early after the 7 years in prison. so we'll be staying on top of this to see what happens next. not, not. so it's coming on al jazeera, including protecting our precious c life. the cold from pacific islands for bigger countries to do more to current climate change. and will tell you why does growing opposition to constitute no change in chile morning. sailors ah,

the journey has begun the faithful wold copies on its way to catherine group. your travel package today. hello, thank you. her journey name. we're going to turn down the temperature is a bit for the arabian peninsula. let's get into those details right now. but temperature is, are creeping up a bit in the levant. we've got some twenties once again, and we've got this line of cloud that could generate some showers, so we go in for a closer look. great. now at shower is that too far away from riyadh and same goes for q weight. in fact, the risk of seen some thunderstorms on thursday, i shower still on friday and then the winds will shift around to the northwest. so that will knock down your temperatures to actually slightly uh below where they should be for the stand the year. some instability around cobble and also is mama bod, $34.00 degrees for you. and off to turkey, we go. turkey is northeast black, sea coast, harmful pathogens are increasingly affecting our lives with terrible consequences.

a new documentary asks why that. we've learned any lessons on the h. i. v epidemic in the fight against coven 19. how we ignored the global serve to put profits before people. ah, welcome back. a comment about top stories here at this hour. russia has confirmed a blast, abode it's warship ma, spread function with black seen fleet. the russian defense ministry says munitions on board. the ship exploded with ukrainian military says it struck the worship with cruise missiles. russia says it's now in full control of the port in the ukrainian city of mattie hopeful but ukraine denies this. tens of thousands of civilians are made from the besieged city and its mass as rushing full sla covering up war crimes that ukraine these by these or civilians. ellers killed by russian troops have just

been discovered. russian forces camp near this chicken factory and hostile. shortly after the war began their forced look and men working nearby to have carried their ammunition. among them was demeter all. investigators fought like all bodies here. they must 1st be checked for booby traps. while the me throws by the is packing to a plastic bag, the work to collect evidence, one unit to gain a foothold in the region. it was a primary target for russian forces. they soon took control of the airport and then funnelled into the streets and through the town, holding it for a month. the skate of destruction, loss of life, and alice atrocities on the became a parent of the russian forces left the area a cat, us which it a tank shells. my neighbors house made out, rushes were storming in a house. is he threatened to kill my husband and son. luckily they survive launch or new frontier. you are so lucky. he was shot when he went out to find the police to charge his forn. as the streets were dangerous with, you're buried,

his neighbor in his back yard yard, with a neighbor, a friend, lay to rest in any proper place, but in peace as they look to the future of those left behind search for some to learn. yeah, the so serve the algebra hosta model so now nordic neighbors, finland and sweden of long shied away from joining nato. but russia's invasion of ukraine is forcing both to rethink that. speaking alongside her swedish counterpart, finished by minister san marin says her come true, make a decision about whether it will fly within weeks. we have deepened our native partnership until now hand in hand with sweden, ever since russia it legally and exit crimea. the difference between being a partner and being a member is very clear and will remain. so. there is no other way to have security guarantees than under nato's deterrence and common defense as guaranteed by natives

. article 5. this is the debates which needs to be taking place in the parliament. the report will now be delivered to our parliament, which will start processing it right after easter break. holborn has more now from london. this is a seismic shift in scandinavian jeer. politics has no doubt about it. i mean finland has had a long standing kind of tension with russia, a share, a 1300 kilometer border film. and i need, sorry, yes, film. and then he just declared independence from, from russia in 1917. and since then, they've kind of while they have known a line status, agreed to stay neutral, but they have drawn closer to nato. they've been nato partners without being full members. and what has happened and what, what is basically at the roots of all of this is the observation of the plight of ukraine. lots of form words for president lensky in ukraine. weapons being supplied,

but no support in the sense of support to that would be if, if you pray with a nato member know, article 5 support the defensive attack against one isn't an attack against all. and so sweet and, and, and finland. and i'm looking at the situation and looking at their close proximity to russia and feeling rather vulnerable. and so this white paper that will go through the finished parliament and in the coming weeks will be decided upon we expect somewhere around mid summer said the prime minister could pay the wait for an application for nathan membership by finland in time for the nato summit. in june, president, sir, i'm a poor sir as visited south africa as flood ravaged, east coast when more than 300 people have died. he described the situation as a catastrophe of epic proportions and as often government support to meet him in a has more from an under. just as are the major paucity of durham jabber. lanyon keys is sits alongside the body of his 19 year old daughter. her body was

discovered after she was washed away by flood waters in amanda, outside the port city of durban. they still haven't found her sister who's been missing for 2 days, but by title they select gun noisily, disney toiler mug, what happens or family is devastating. i've lost 2 of my daughters, my other daughter and wife for an hospital, and the worst part is that we have not received any help from the government. only hope we have is from the community. i think when i was an villa michael, bonnie is leading to search for missing people. of the heavy rain and mud slides devastated this region of south africa. as they walk through the steep hills that force the torrents of water through the village. she says this is where the 1st body was found, at least 5 other people from this community. a missing, throughout in and out, the destruction only worsens. roads and bridges have collapsed, cutting of people from main roads. there's no electricity or running water. here,

at least 4 homes have been reduced to rubble must be less than one in the z. e. we heard people shouting my brother and father try to rescue them by the by then the houses were covered by water and the tree collapsed on the house. and we don't know what happened to them. people here say they can't do much to find those who are missing while president solar, my poor says visited some of the flood stricken areas and offered government support. this community says there's not been any so far. informal settlements have been severely affected by the heavy rain and flooding while the rain has slowed for now, it's expected to get worse. people who escape the 1st wave of flooding a warrior, they'll not be fortunate in the coming days that made a mella alta 0 dub in south africa, a heat wave in northwest india is breaking a weather records. temperatures of reached more than 41 degrees celsius in the capital. new denny that's 98 degrees above normal. the 1st time in 72 years in the

city has recorded such high temperatures in the 1st half of april environmental leaders from 80 countries on meeting on the pacific island of palau. it's all part of a summit called ocean conference, which aims to protect sea life. gender include supporting more blue and sustainable economies to current climate change. about $90000000000.00 has been pledged in the past, but organize as one more needs to be done. conference to being held on allow to highlight the critical role of indigenous communities and tackling global warming well marked through some of the worldwide fun for nature. he says the industrialized nations need to step up their climate commitment. what i think we're have seen over the last 7 years since the 1st our oceans conference was increasing issue particularly around climate change in the impacts of a change in climate, in places such as allow a small on developing state in the western pacific. so the urgency of action. ready

i say it is a fundamental shift from the 1st conference to where we are today. and we're here to try to figure out what we can do to secure the commitments and the action necessary to change that conversation if you will. and what's happening is these small island developing states are negligible in terms of the emissions, but the ocean that they have jurisdictions who are very significant carbon sinks. and he thinks, and so we've got 20 countries that are providing roughly 80 percent of the global emissions. and then you've got the small island developing states across the pacific, and otherwise that is bearing the disproportionate burden if you will, of the impacts of those greenhouse gases in the heating this taking place. so i actually think it's all hands on deck. but in terms of an equity, i think it's really incumbent on developing countries and those that are responsible for what's driving climate change to the stepping up and in a very, very meaningful way make the investments that are necessary. now some asylum

seekers who tried to reach the u. k by crossing the english channel could soon be flown to rolanda for processing. it's all part of a deal that's expected to be announced on thursday. britain's home secretary is already in rwanda to sign an agreement. a u. k will give randa just over a $130000000.00 as part of the trial scheme. rights groups though, have criticized the decision. now delegates in chile are struggling to reach a consensus on key parts of a new constitution. but as the deadline, mayor's opposition is growing 9 months ago, there was overwhelming support for reform, but now polled say a majority opposed, changing the constitution. supporters of the move say a campaign of misinformation is to blame our latin america. i don't understand human as more from santiago 9 months ago, the overwhelming majority of chileans voted to allow 155 delegates to form the was 1st constitutional convention with gender parity. and that promised to address

modern day challenges. like protecting the environment. many picketed, it would become a global reference, but with less than 3 months left to finish drafting the proposed constitution, things aren't looking quite so good. i. it cannot be that they want to expropriate our pension funds, or our houses. they do not protect us from anything. simply comparable boy. all they care about is changing the national anthem, our emblem, and our flag in actual fact, none of these things had been approved by the convention, nor the belief by many that parents won't have a say in their children's education. that indigenous groups will form 12 independent countries, and that farmers won't be able to kill their animals. ah, but it is an extraordinarily complex process in which every delegate has a voice, even to make sometimes absurd proposals thorough eventually dismissed. and it's

become even more confusing. thanks to misinformation, campaigns that are spreading on social media or more new study reveals that 60 percent of chileans have received false information about the convention and i will pick them up. went to say that wasn't that, and we to take to that 30 percent of these people shared this false names. it wasn't necessarily on purpose. but if you believe what you read and think it's relevant, you share that information without verifying it to them. i think it's only one to get along. as a result, 3 new polls suggest the chileans support has plummeted for a new constitution that 80 percent had hoped would lay the groundwork for a more equal and just society want to go through this. and even before the convention has finished drafting the majority of articles, he lay there for about b. s. a boy. the idea here is to distribute power more evenly. we always knew that those who hold power don't want to lose it. and the mainstream media, which is owned by major economic groups, is a neutral when it comes to covering the convent.
