correspond. dorothy jabari his life in moscow. what exactly of russia said about this flagship? well, according to the russian defense ministry, this vessel was in the area between the port city of odessa and at nikolai, of on wednesday evening in the black sea, when a fire broke out on board. and then the ammunition i exploded as well as a result of that fire. now, the russian defense mysteries saying that the vessel is now being towed to the nearest port and that it is not completely damaged and all the personnel on board were evacuated. according to the officials here at the vessel which is a 186 kilometers long, and one of the main cruisers in a russian navy, they will fleet in the black sea is going to be salvage and, and is not completely out of commission as of yet this is

a vessel that was constructed in the early 19 eighties at this is a significance it because whether or not and what the ukrainians claim is that they struck this vessel. but the russians said that it was a accidental fire, and that broke out, and regardless, it is certainly out of commission for the foreseeable future. this vessel was providing a lot of support in terms of a missile strikes against the various targets in and around the port city of mary. awful. oh, which is a now seeing a heavy, a ground offensive from the russian military. and at this latest incident will certainly be viewed as a setback for their military. but regardless, the so called 2nd phase of the military operation of the russians in ukraine is going to continue a certainly without this vessel. but for the time being the a russian defense mystery saying that they are going to investigate the cause of

the fire and that, as the fire has been put out and they know where exactly on the ship, it started. dosa vladimir putin spin speaking today. what's he had to say? well, the russian president was meeting a via video conference with a number of his oil and banking executives and officials and a he had the main message from his speech was to diversify and invest in the countries oil and banking sector. after a rush, a launch, the so called special military operation in ukraine on february 24th. the country is now the world's most sanctions country. as a result of that decision and the oil and banking sector has been heavily hit as a result of that. and the russian president was now saying that they are going to have to look to diversify their i or the banking sector and their infrastructure. because according to vladimir putin,

it is clear that as they have to start looking to and diversify where they supply and where they sell their oil and gas to. and he said that they'll have to focus on the south and east and part of the world. and it's clear that their west, their demands from russia will shrink in the foreseeable future. so really flattery putting, preparing his officials for what is the come in the near future. he also spoke about the rise in prices of oil and gas as a result of the decision by the european countries to talk about a restricting the import of russian oil and gas. and he said it is really not feasible because they have no alternative at the moment. let's hear of some of what else he had to say. dusky lutheran law supplies from other countries opposed to wealth of the united states could, could be directed to europe, will cost firms or uses many times more expensive. it will hit

the competition of levels in, in europe and the well being of the citizens of the countries of europe. but despite of all of that, european of the circle partners are still talking about the refusal of accepting russian energy supplies. and they basically harming their own citizens the russian president also said that one of the main challenges now they've been facing since the sanctions of head the country is that the payment from a european countries rep from a number of unfriendly countries as he calls them, as a result of the decision he made that, that he wanted the payments to be made in the local rubel currency. and because they're horrible had suffered a huge fall since that a special military operation. so one of the ways of remedying that was letting me put in saying that they wanted the payments to be made in the local currency. he

also said that despite all of this, the country will continue to invest in as the oil and banking sector. and we also want to highlight that at the revenues from orland bank or oil and gas sales in russia in the 1st quarter, according to the finance ministry. numbers have been down 38 percent compared to last year in the 1st quarter. so a significant in because we see that the sanctions have certainly had an effect and their russian president is very much aware of that and trying to look forward in terms of what his country can do to combat. what will certainly be a very difficult year for his, a financial sector, dosage buried at 1st with the latest from moscow. as get the view from the capital . if he crane cave whistle said it has more while this is there, ford, a russian warship that is being hit and the ukranian official says that they have

targeted that the ship by the cruise missiles have a very it's not on the confir 100 percent confirmed by the independent sources or tortoise, but here we know that says, particularly since they're and annexation of crimea by russia in 2014 own russia has been building up it's, it's naval forces here an increasing its capacity in the black sea and the powerful russian blacks the fleet a was asked simply, bomb been there that the coastal cities of ukraine a clear around the echoes, the a did the black sea and now we can see that if the ukrainians out statement is reflecting the through, then there's a powerful black sea. a fleet is coming under the the fire. so we have seen recently at the senior european union diplomat 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, buddha, 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 of the that the day that the weapons that are being supp less, i doubt, are be supply to go to the ukraine, which is increasing this military capacity. these really ami says dozens of palestinians have been arrested and have their weapons confiscated as part of what they call in counter terrorism. activities to palestinians was shot dead by the army during raids on vintages in the early hours they morning. it happened near janine and the occupied west bank. 3 others were killed earlier, including a 14 year old boy. forth isn't been conducting rates since the palestinian gunmen killed 3 israelis. intel to be last week. let's go to needed abraham, who joined the lie from jeanine and the occupied west bank. nita,

we've been talking for the last few days. it's been very tumultuous there. what is the very latest the funeral of 45 year old for was ha, liz. currently being under way in his home town, bates at north, off the occupied to us bank is to come to his wings to day after being shot during the comp edition that to place on wednesday with alice simmons and b as grew military. this is a funeral to take place to day after 6 palestinians were killed by israeli was higher since wednesday. we've seen a funeral of a 14 year old boy from a town near bethlehem. he was killed after he was shot in the head by these really it was says, is so to me as cleanse situation here in the occupy blessed bank,

we are all the 141 palestinians were killed since the beginning of the year. and this is why palestinians referred to this number to say that the killing, the re tax didn't just start since the latest palestinian attacks in israel. they've already been living under as many occupations for decades. they still feel the front of it. many were telling us that they feel that, that a very existence is being threatened occupation. and this is why they're fighting it. is there were fear that tensions could rise further as we head into the weekend . let's not forget that we are in the holy month of ramadan, and we often see an increase in tension. specifically when worshippers tried to answered alex a most come compound due to restrictions by israel. it's hard to tell

if the situation is going to be leading to with a bigger escalation in defense that we're talking about massive protests and massive confrontations because we're not seeing the palestinians. political factions carrying the weights behind the palestinian is one to fight the grady occupation, but is also no political will when it comes to the palestinian authority. it has been involved in diplomatic folks with george with egypt. you've been with us to try and keep the situation the calm as possible, but this is not to say that this tuition is going to remain calm. it is sense. there is a high level of alert amongst palestinians. we see here we are in front of the counselor palestinians are expecting is really raid because the family of the attacker who killed 3 is really in tele, be last week is refusing to hand them over to the israeli forces. they are

expecting a really read the could potentially arrest the family. we are also looking at friday to morrow ramadan. so it's a way to see how the situation unfolds. but it is a very tense situation and neither abraham diverse in janine, in the occupied westbank lebanon's government says the grain silos that were damaged and a huge explosion at beverage port 2 years ago will be demolished. official say that to damage to be left standing and are too expensive to repair. this is despite family saying they should be preserved as a memorial for the 215 victims were lost in the blast. it was caused when a fire broke out at a warehouse that was storing chemicals, oils riches man wants to bind twitter, a low mosque who recently bought 9 percent stake in the social media platform, has been 41 $1000000000.00 for the entire company. twitter says it will carefully

asylum seekers trying to enter the united kingdom ought to be sent to rwanda for processing. he k prime innocent boris johnson has announced it will apply to those who cross the english channel. it's all part of a $130000000.00 deal that's been criticized by right scripts. 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 over time prove a very considerable deterrent. the dean baba has more on the dale from london. it's controversial. it's also certainly contradictory as well. you heard bar is johnson

talking about the intended deterrent that this plan would create. dissuading people from crossing 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 a growing wednesday, 600 people arrived. having crossed the channel, he said it could be a 1000 a day soon, and the total figure philosophy with $28000.00 people. now this politically puts pressure on board johnson's government, particularly among the right wing section of, of his conservative party who were very keen to be seen to pushing to be pushing down general numbers of migrants as well as refugees and asylum seekers coming to the u. k. so he talks 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 the steel said that people who under the 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 that it's clear that this has been planned by britain for some time. president, sarah, rama. plaza has visited, south africa's flounder, ravaged, east coast, way more than 300 people have died. he's described the situation as a catastrophe of epic proportions and has often gotten support for ms. miller has more from in, under just outside. the major port, city of dublin jebel law named 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
