4:03 pm
it's naval forces. he had any grees in its capacity in the black sea and the powerful russian at black sea fleet. a was asked simply, bomb been dead that the coastal cities or ukraine, a korea around the echoes. the a did the black sea. and now we can see that if the ukrainians out statement is reflecting the true, then this proposal but black, see a fleet is coming on there. did the fire so that we have seen recently at the senior european union diplomats been wisdom achieve and they have promised more and more weapons to be supplied to ukraine. but one of them was particularly important . you k bought a sarah u k prime minister, buddhist johnson was just recently here and he said that they are going to deliver anti ship miss our system to ukraine. and this is said, this is expected to be another level off there that the day that the weapons that
4:04 pm
are being supp less there to be supplied to if you go to the ukraine, which is increase in his military capacity. and we're so more conflicting statements between the ukrainians and russia by what is going on in not april. what is your understanding of what is happening there? well, so far ukrainian officials haven't ever made any statement. regarding particular, the conflict ordered a russian takeover in the port of march, april. however, they said that in the city of murder, you pull steel to fight. the fierce fighting is taking place and, and, and, and it's a continuum, but they admit that they have forces in the city are running out of ammunition. and that the forces are also blocked up from all directions. so off the russia retreat and his forces around the capital key is to have re directed, reposition their forces their troops, and did the technical equipments to the eastern region of ukraine. and this wide
4:05 pm
have seen that the ford of the fight is, is, is becoming more pure, a fierce wall in hockey, in dawn boss, all the front lines and then true murder, you pull and hush on the military experts. you're seeing that in the coming days, they're expecting russia to conduct one of the biggest military assault on these are on this region. and they said just before may 9, which is the victory they in russia, russia by dean that is trying to, to connect on bus a through atlanta bridge to crimea and declare a quick victory. okay, thank you for that result said either in bery, nettie crenan capital key. let's turn our attention to moscow speak to dos and jabari. again, let's start with the russian warship. what exactly have russia said about how that ship got damaged? well, according to the russian defense ministry, and there was a fire on board this vessel that caused the ammunition on board to ignite. and
4:06 pm
there was an explosion now at the defense ministry saying that this vessel was traveling on wednesday evening between the areas of odessa and nikolai, of in the black sea when the incident took place. now the officials have said that the ship is being towed to the nearest port and that it is not completely damaged and that's her. the location and cause of the fire have been discovered and contained at the 186 kilometer long vessel is one of the main and vessels that's been used to help put the ground and offensive that is ongoing in that area in the ukraine. and to, as they have been instrumental in the gains that the russian military has made in and around this city of mary, or pull this cruiser is now apparently a going to be looked at whether or not they can be repaired. it is
4:07 pm
a vessel that was constructed in the early 19 eighties and it is one of the biggest in rushes, black navy, a fleet at the defense ministry saying that it is something that a they are investigating further about the cause of the fire bed to add they have certainly not commented on the accusations made by the ukrainian officials that they had struck this with a miss i how much of a blow is it to the russians to lose the ship? not just militarily, but it was so from her or a morley point of view. well, it's very difficult to say, and the russian military has been giving us daily briefings and throughout this so called special military operation. and of course, as they only highlight their gains rather than also, which is understandable, given the current climate that they're in, we've only had 2 official briefings about the loss of life that the russian
4:08 pm
military has suffered. and, and that is, it will, they don't discuss the military losses that they've had, the only highlight the gains on a daily basis. but of course, this will be significant. and given the push that is it, we're expecting to come in the days ahead with the route a heavy military buildup that rushes focusing its 2nd phase of the operation in the eastern part of the country. and, and the russian president had said that the 1st phase of this operation was completed in late march. and they're now focusing on the 2nd phase, which is of course, at the areas of dumbass in eastern ukraine because that was what started this special military operation. vladimir put in his said that they wanted to assist the russian separatist there in that area because they were fighting for a gaining more areas in what they believed to be rightfully their land, which is part of ukraine. so this is certainly going to be a setback,
4:09 pm
but unlikely to really deter the significant push that will be coming in the 2nd phase of this operation. now the israeli army says dozens of palestinians have been arrested and had their weapons confiscated. it's part of what they call in counter terrorism activities to palestinians was shot dead by the army turned grades on villages in the early hours of thursday morning. it happened near the town of jeanine in the occupied west bank 3. others were killed earlier, including a 14 year old boy as rifles as have been conducting raids since the palestinian government kill 3 israelis in televi late last week. as go to natasha a name, who joins from ramallah the occupied westbank. natasha. you attended a funeral earlier today, and since then another man has died. what is the mood there?
4:10 pm
any hope of a di escalation in violence has evaporated. there is anger, frustration, sadness, as we heard at this funeral resolve. we attended the funeral of 20 year old omar gillian, in the west bank town of sil wide. iliad was killed on wednesday evening during clashes with the israeli military. we spoke to his father shortly before his songs casket was taken to the cemetery. when he was a good man who joined the resistance, he died. i am sad, but proud of him a little natasha. there is concerned now that things could escalate to morrow on friday, which is of course the day of friday prayers. what are we expecting? oh, i'll get to what we're expecting in a moment. i just want to reiterate though, that this has been a very violent day to people killed this morning in jeanine and then
4:11 pm
a 3rd person died today. he was shot in clashes in nablus and succumb to his injuries. now we're also hearing from the palestinian ministry of health that a 17 year old boy shot in jeanine has been critically injured. since this operation began a week ago by the israeli military, there is now been a total of $21.00. palestinians killed dozens injured and more than 100 people detained. there are concerns that there could be more violence on friday from us. the armed group that controls the gaza strip is calling for thousands of palestinians to march to alaska mosque in the occupied east in occupied east jerusalem in the holy city. the group is upset because there is a small jewish group that has been calling for others to enter
4:12 pm
ox a compound because friday is passover and sacrifice a lamb. now 2 members of that jewish group have been arrested. the israeli government has said that simply will not happen friday for many of people who don't know is always a day reserved for muslims. this is going to be a friday prayer in brought during ramadan. so it will be especially meaningful and festive if there is no violence. and really what we're looking at is we head into the weekend. we have pass over tomorrow, celebrated by jewish people, ramadan friday and then easter sunday. and the general sense, of course, is that they would like to have people in the area would like to have a celebratory festive weekend. but if something were to happen at l ox, a mosque. and there was some sort of confrontation with jewish settlers and palestinians. it is guaranteed that this could lead to an escalation in violence.
4:13 pm
natasha getting that for us in ramallah. and 2 more head on the new zone, including what's being described as a potassium epic proportions. we've the laces from the flood disasters in south africa and for long as prime minister office to meet protesters calling for his resignation. ah, else peter will be ah somali as new members of parliament have been sworn in more than a year behind schedule, hours earlier, a series of motor attack struck the area of mogadishu. where the legislators were gathering political in fighting accusations of irregularities on a rise in violence of all stalls, some aaliyah's election process. let's go to malcolm web. he's been following departments from nairobi in neighboring kenya. so the new and peace have been sworn
4:14 pm
in did all go to plan and what happens next about 250 m p 's have been thrown in and about 50 senators, as you mentioned earlier in the, in the session, more as a fire towards somali as green zone within which they were meeting the green thing that contained the international airport, the embassies of the western governments, the back somalia, government and the united nations and the meeting of and have no one with her injured on this occasion. but the group about does often fire green zone in the armed we've taken responsibility for several attacks throughout this much delayed electoral period in which doesn't the people have been killed. also fax in the army forward the police last year on the street from over the issue because of these electro disputes and delays. what's gonna happen next in the coming weeks is that the member of the parliament will elect the next president of somalia,
4:15 pm
the president, the president mohammed mohammed abdulla. he wants to run again. his opponents and critics say he's the one that's installing the selection process to try and keep a grip in power because they say that he can't win it. but the whole process has been mod, by reports of bribery and corruption. and we can certainly inspect in the coming weeks as a new m p. 's prepare for this election. we can expect more secret meeting horse trading behind closed doors and money to chain times in the weeks ahead. okay, thank you for that update malcolm web that for us in nairobi. let's bring in jose and say also in our roby. she's a former 1st lady of somalia. thank you so much for joining the news now that these m. p 's have been sworn in how soon do things malia will be able to hold a presidential election? well fed us, i want to congratulate you. on the newly elected dublin. dakota presented eaves
4:16 pm
regardless of the lack of integrity and could, or the ability of the process. i will think that they could actually do that process could be very quick if they willing and able to do saw. and if there are no founder conflicts or in passes, i hope that the there won't be sound, but that i'd still current issues that needs to be resolved and curtailed. but i think we're, we might be very close to the long waited presidential election. now, for somali, the reason we've seen some of the delays is down to how somali, as electoral process works in a nutshell, ordinary people don't get to vote for their president. do you think the electoral system needs to change? yes, definitely. they lead sort of system. notice to be change as you might be aware of ah, fairness, there was a plan that this election at least would be one person, one vote. but that process didn't work out and about one election little pass was
4:17 pm
never implemented. there was a lack of consensus that census was never done. security issues in somalia was problematic and of course resources saw in short one person, one vote turned out to be one that be the the rule of the, the government were not willing or able to do so. and the less and addict election ah, was agreed a september 2000 to 2017 i believe. and that was swear. they better for la election . i was calling to we don't caught an election. in fact, nobody called a selection. it's in that a selection that actually brought a raise to the bottom selection process that lack of integrity and could ability. so unless there is a strong strong rule of law on election a law. uh so monday would be in this ah, what we've seen for the past few months and the last year is absolutely unacceptable and not to be reputed again. none the less,
4:18 pm
i would say you had hoped that the, the newly political to put a sensitives will actually have some sort of a moral compass. ah, and have some nationalistic idealists will take actually stock or what? so my latest to day, i sits highly pooled of ice political above actively done for cut and dry at all, what is dominating the country. so i will hope then she got lots of good process that they came to being that they will have some senses and nationalistic view to how that can to move forward or at process that will actually lead the content, you know, and i, and can, i also how can stand can, how consent are you about violence? we already saw a violence today when they were electing the m. p. 's. they had more to attacks. struck an area of mogadishu. where, where the m p 's were being voted in. how worried to you that that will continue to happen and perhaps even push back the presidential election? i'm assuming ordered, but i think we out of the most of the problems are yes,
4:19 pm
they use somebody. is that business as usual? that are still people who might not want this to happen, but regardless, i think the fact that the material is what is want to day and most of them are bad except fuel does. i hope that soon. so that is the problem will be resolved. my hope is that soon there will be a time that and the you, a president would be elected. that's my hope. i. nobody critics, will you check with the perfect foresight. but this is a long awaited process, and i think the water is pass. this is the water selection selection process of ever seen in the fed a short time off the so my list in that at elections. nonetheless, we're hopeful that you, there will be violence that will be people will out against this. that has been a drug for the last few years to some few months, but the waters i think has passed. thank you so much for your time. hot annisa,
4:20 pm
a former 1st lady of somalia and some asylum seekers trying to enter the united kingdom ought to be sent to wanda, a processing u. k prime and a subarus johnson has announced it will apply to those who cross the english channel as part of a 130000000 dollar deal that's been criticized by rights groups. johnson says he believes the risk of ending up in a wanda will be considerable, deterrent them much, much better off going for the safe and legal routes that we have rather than paying to jump the queue and to risk their lives. because if they, if they go that way, if they come across the channel illegally in these, in these vessels, then they risk as i've, as i've explained, ending up not in the u. k. but in rwanda and that is something that i believe will
4:21 pm
over time prove a very considerable deterrent. let's go to nadine. papa live press in london. nadine, this is a huge li, controversial plan. what is the reason for this deal? we are right to say it's controversial. it's all so slightly contradictory as well . you heard baris johnson talking about the intended deterrent that this plan would create, dissuading people from crossing her european nations, coming through france, getting into boats, and arriving on the shores of the united kingdom. now he's pointed out that arrival was growing on wednesday, 600 people arrived. having crossed the channel, he says it could be a 1000 a day soon, and the total figure velocity with $28000.00 people. now this politically puts pressure on boris johnson's government, particularly among the right wing, a section of, of his conservative party who were very keen to be seen to pushing to be pushing
4:22 pm
down general numbers of migrants as well as refugees and asylum seekers. coming to the u. k, so he's talked about a deterrent. but at the same time, in kigali, the rwandan capital on thursday, his home secretary pretty patel, stood next to the rwandan foreign minister announcing this deal said that people who it under this scheme would be sent to rwanda, would then be if they were successful in their asylum claim allowed to rebuild their lives in a country which had a good history of receiving in refugees and had a booming economy suggesting that they would thrive. so it's a slightly contradictory message there. it's clear that this has been planned by britain for some time. they approached other countries with no success, they will be paying rwanda around a $150000000.00. in the 1st instance, for this trial, there are facilities holding facilities for perhaps a 100 people that report as have seen on thursday in rwanda. now,
4:23 pm
boris johnson's talking about possibly tens of thousands of people being sent there . and he's stressed that britain is making this possible because they're going to change law to penalize people who arrive illegally. but critics are asking, where are the safe and legal rates for people to arrive in britain? well, that's what i was gonna ask you. who exactly is this going to apply to? who did they send to linda? well, there's some confusion. it was suggested and initially that this would simply be single men under the age of 40. it seems the home office now suggesting that women could be sent there are women traveling on their own as well might be, although families won't be split up. now the, the problem is that there is no legal basis for discriminating against single men. if they are asylum seekers and then how will it happen? there are going to be legal challenges as far as johnson himself accepts many
4:24 pm
rights activists saying this clearly breeches the un convention on refugees. it will cost a lot of money. one scheme where australia of her outsourced its refugees sent people to papua new guinea and to narrow that cost around $2000000.00 per person. this could be hugely costly to send people thousands of kilometers. and then they're saying that some people will van if they're unsuccessful in their claim, be sent back to their country of origin. will that be feasible as well? there are ethical concerns as well. britain itself asked for an independent investigation from the un into what it called allegations of extra judicial killings destined custody enforce disappearances and torture in rwanda. so there are clear question marks over rwanda's human rights record and human rights group say that previously asylum seekers actually ended up being killed when they
4:25 pm
protested their conditions in rwanda. so there have been previous cases of mistreatment of people already in rwanda. that a mother there for lunch and thank you. flooding in south africa has killed at least 300 people. the dissolves stood near the east coast city of dub and follows the heaviest rain for 60 years with more downpours, full cost. the president has been seeing how homes, bridges, and roads happen washed away. he says it's a catastrophe of epic proportions on is partially due to climate change. let's go to for me to mila who is in dub, and for me to bring us up to date with the latest overnight. well as since these, most of the floods to place late on monday night, they have been some improvements. the conditions in areas like this one we are in, in and our some of the worse flooding and much lights took place since then because
4:26 pm
the weather is improved and the suns out, a lot of that flood water has dried up and life is slowly returning to normal in places like this, where people at the tail end of their mopping up and trying to clean up after those floods. the latest figure from the government is that 306 people were killed in the flooding. and there is some concern around those who are still missing, but they are issues around possibly inaccurate information and accessing some areas across the province. but this is a look at what's taken place over the last couple of days. and the difficulties that people have faced trying to survive the floods that happened earlier in the week. jabber lanham 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 has been missing for 2 days. but my title basinger kind, though nicely,
4:27 pm
disney toiler merge. what happens or family is devastating of last 2 of my daughters are the daughter of why for an hospital. and the worst part is that we have not received any help from the government. the only help we have is from the community. again from alexandria, lamar albany, is leading the 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 are missing. throughout in and out, the destruction only worsens. roads and bridges have collapsed, cutting of people from main roads. there is no electricity or running water. here at least 4 homes have been reduced to rubble. must beg us in one in the z. e. we heard people shouting, my brother and father tried to rescue them by the by then the houses were covered
4:28 pm
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 syndrome, of course, has visited some of the flood stricken areas and offered government support. this community says there's not been any so far. in formal 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 worry they'll not be fortunate in the coming days. let me tamela alta 0 dub in south africa. well south africa isn't in the clay yet. there is more rain in the forecast. he has jeff with you, a weld weather update. so the rain will return to flood stricken areas of south africa, the province of quasi lunar tall. but on thursday, it's a sunny pitcher in durban at 27 degrees. but let's put this forward on friday. there's that rain dancing right back in for that se portion of quasi luke and tall
4:29 pm
and for durban. i think we've got several days of rain on the cards here, and let's remember, it was just a little while ago. we picked up a few months worth of rain within the span of 48 hours. another area we've seen a lot of rain is around the western bed eastern areas of spain, northern algeria, so elders scooping up $57.00 millimeters of rain within 24 hours. that is a months worth of rain within a short span. and here we go. on friday there is still more rain coming at. the winds will be a factor as well, but it's done story for that east coast of spain showing you the rest of africa right now. look at, there's a lot of sand and dust being tossed up in libya. same goes for to nice. and that was whether it's sliding from algeria rate into to nice. yeah. we've got storms across the gulf of guinea emmelyn, his father report in europe or seen start looking pretty good. we've got some showers for central parts. but look at this belgrade 25 degrees. and full of sunshine enjoy. we'll see you soon. still ahead on al jazeera,
4:30 pm
another police controversy in the united states and accusations have been executions dahl shooting of a congolese immigrant from fighting the constitutional change. and jenny, we look at why some say missed information is tampering reform. alan sprinting legend says it's time to retire at peace. it will have bad stories. ah, in 2018. a journalist lead 40 days of civic action against the armenian government . i'm president sock your fiance, group on power. i'm going to live with this were a new documentary follows. he's known boylen campaign to bring down a corrupt regime. astonishing outcome with i am not alone on munious velvet revolution on al jazeera,
4:31 pm
used from al jazeera on the go and need to know. allergies. there is all new mobile app is. this is where we dissect, analyze. i'm fine with from algae. there is a mobile app available in your favorite app. still, just that barrett and tapped are made a new app from al jazeera new at you think it it lou ah ah. watching out as a reminder of our top stories is our funeral to taking place after 5 palestinians
4:32 pm
were killed. my is writing forces including a 14 year old boy, dozens of others were arrested in raids in the occupied westbank. somali as new members of parliament had been sworn in more than a year behind schedule, hours early a series of mortar attacks, stroke, the area of mogadishu, the legislators were gathering the flagship of rushes. black c, fleece has been severely damaged by bloss ukraine. says it hit the warship moskva with christmas sauce. moscow says a fire on board caused the ammunition to explode. well, let's get mall, not we can bring and kick gilles. he's in north hampton chair in the u. k. a researched arts at conflict studies, research center. thank you for joining the program. we've been hearing 2 different narratives about what happened from ukraine and from russia. what do you think caused the explosion on the mascara? well, we will not know for sure what is actually happened there for some time. it's just like any other aspect of this war, we hear the 2 different sides without that detail. technically,
4:33 pm
we simply can't get this far away from the conflict. it's impossible to tell what we do know is that either way, it doesn't look good for russia either. it's wash, it has been attacked successfully by a weapon system from ukraine that it ought to have been able to defend itself, or it just caught fire spontaneously for no particular reason. that's not a good look for the flagship of the black sea fleet. and of course, it will be causing russia to reassess just what it can use. its navy, for it. prosecuting is war against you. credit. the key military officials say they struck them off with a ukrainian made net to miss out. what can you tell us about these missiles? believe missiles were developed very recently by ukraine and recognition of the fact that they no longer had a navy of their own effectively in the black sea to oppose russia. naval power. issue based missiles which can reach out up to a couple of 100 miles from the shore in order to strike against enemy shipping. something which is on the very recently coming to service in the ukrainian military,
4:34 pm
reportedly just within the last year. so if this is the case, of course, it is not only a striking success for ukraine's own domestic defense industry. it also suggests that there may have developed a weapon system against which russia simply does not have effected naval defenses. that too will be causing serious crude was up with in moscow, or, as you say, regardless of how it happened at the ship has been seriously damaged. is it a big enough blow to get russia to rethink it's? it's military strategy, particularly in the black sea. a russia has been threatening and previous landing all along the coast of ukraine is been moving its landing ships and supporting naval assets around to try to keep ukrainian forces fixed on the idea that they might in fact be carrying out some kind of assault on the shoreline, this would suggest that they need to actually move further away from ukraine's coast and actually see those operations if russia wash, it's irony,
4:35 pm
some vulnerable to those ukrainian defenses. and what about to morale? how big a blow is this likely to be to morale, to russian soldiers was symbolically. of course, it's huge. the fact that the, the flagship, which is named after moscow the mosque is on fire, who's going to be a huge boost not only for the ukrainian forces, but all for all of ukraine backers as well. and it'll be interesting to see exactly how russia's domestic media plays this over the next coming days. because of course, as far as a rushing, domestic population is concerned, is what has been a huge success and casualties have been very limited. now that the russian ministry of defense is, in fact as missing that there's been a major incident on one of the major worships. it's going to be interesting to see how they spin this and how they explained it. ok k giles, the research start off conflict studies with that and to thank you for your time. again. the wells richest man wants to buy twitter ill on
4:36 pm
moscow recently bought a 9 percent stake in the social media platform. has been $41000000000.00 for the entire company. twitter says it will carefully review the offer mosque who owns tesla and space x says twitter fall short of its free speech principles and needs a complete overhaul as go to our correspondent in new york, april elizondo. why is must trying to buy twitter? well, because he's an addict of twitter, quite frankly, he has 81000000 followers on the social media platform. only a small handful of people around the world have more than that. he as a voracious tweeter and sends out tweets all the time. he clearly likes the social platform a lot because he uses it a lot, but he's also been very critical of it saying that he is. he's insinuated that he's been against twitter, d platforming, people that promote disinformation. you think the biggest one, of course being
4:37 pm
a former us president donald trump, must case insinuated that he feels that the social media platform need to total overhaul and, and that he also feels that it should be more of a free speech spirit space than he feels it is right now, he is the richest world, the world's richest man. and so he has the power to potentially make an offer to buy twitter and reshape it in his vision. and that is exactly what he's done just a week ago or what he's hoping to do. a week ago, he bought a 9 percent steak and twitter making him the twitters largest shareholder. there was controversy about him joining the board of directors or not. he was and then he wasn't. and then here with this surprise announcement early thursday morning that now he wants to buy a 100 percent of twitter. and what is the reaction been to this? do people think this is a serious offer?
4:38 pm
well, it depends who you talk to. i mean it's certainly caught wall street by surprise. it cut twitter users by surprise. cut everybody by surprise. i mean, he's been active with his 9 percent purchase of twitter a week ago, 9 percent of the stock. that was pretty big. but to now say he wants to buy a 100 percent of the company. that's a lot. that's more than $40000000000.00 check. he would have to right, and it would totally transform one of the world's most powerful and influential social media sites. mean twitter has 330000000 daily users around the world. countries that have more than 1010000000 users, japan, the us, brazil, indonesia, the u. k. turkey saudi arabia, thailand, philippines. these are all countries that have millions of twitter users, so who the owner would be with potentially affect them as well. really interesting to see how this situation develops. gabriel elizondo that for us
4:39 pm
