which has been quickly a front line in the beverly the early days of the war and the russian forces had been halted right cheer after retrieving his forces from this region, russia has read, directed, reposition, is its forces alongside the borders at the foot of starting from the at that the northeast of ukraine to don bus region and then more you pool and hudson and military experts here saying that in the coming days, they are expecting a russia to, to, to, to ramp up its military activities here and to initiate a grand assault over these regions. just before may 9, which is the victory, the in russia at 2222, to declare a creek at victory before that date, by the connecting don bus region with crimea through atlanta bridge as well. thank you very much indeed results. he said, bring his update from the town of bro very, which is near the ukrainian capital keefe, or dasa. java is in moscow. what officials to say the ship is going to be salvaged

. 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 mystery 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. what the ukrainians claim is that they struck this vessel, but the russians said that it was a accidental fire and that i broke out an 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 that 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 it, regardless, the so called 2nd phase of the military operation of the russians are in ukraine is going to continue a certainly without this vessel. but for the time being, the 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 when he runs warning, the war in ukraine is having serious global consequences, 30 percent of the world's weight and barley 20 percent of mays and more than half of all sunflower oil come from ukraine and russia. russia is also one of the largest natural gas in oil exporters in together with bella, luce, it ships more than 20 percent of the world's fertilizers. the war is pushing up food and fuel prices, especially in asia and africa. the un estimates at least 1700000000 people in

a 170 countries are affected in the world. food program started distributing food in the ukranian city of butcher. now that's where mass civilian graves have been found. and people said they had to hide in basements for days and end. let's bring in david beesley, his executive director of the united nations world food program. he's joining us on skype from keith, david vega to have you with us on al jazeera and talk us through. first of all, what people in ukraine are really struggling to get to the moment terms of food supplies. yeah, rob, people in the ukraine are struggling, as you can imagine. and this is the bread basket of the world. and they produce a lot of food, but it's a serious situation right down like, you know about that for me. important may be provided, fled the country, refugees, and there be a met with lobby normed by strangers all around the world. but you still have 7000000 that had been displaced internally. and what we're trying to do, working with the government, working with the n g o to meet those needs. but at the same time,

what about the millions that are stuck in the east? how do we reach them? the cities that are perceived, how do we reach them? and so we're calling on everyone, in particular, the russian forces give us the access. we need to reach the people who are embassies, cities, and so inside russia, i mean inside ukraine, it's a problem in itself. and we've got to help the 43000000 people that are struggling in suffering right now because the economy is in shambles. everything is just that really going down. i was just in boots or just literally a couple hours ago is seen on the streets, the devastation here in the stories of, of women. children being indiscriminately shot i went to an or british orphan at home, where 40 orphans were living in it's been bomb, completely just destroyed. it's just forgetting what we're seeing on the ground here. david, tell us about the kind of logistical problems you and your teams of facing and trying to get food supplies to all the different areas that you're talking about,

particularly in the east of the country. well, you know, most of the farmers are the truck drivers are guess where they are, they on the front last friday trying to defend their country. and so this is a task in itself. and then you've got all the checkpoints, with military offences taking place and trying to move supplies in harm's way. and we know how to do this. we operate basically 80 percent of our worldwide operations are in areas of war or conflict. so we know how to do this, and i can tell you this is a very, very complex and difficult place to operate right now. moving supplies of food in these war areas is extremely difficult for us. and we're very concerned that people are starving, but we're not being given the i says that we need, if we get the access, we will read everybody in ukraine. and of course, we've got great concerns about the people outside of ukraine. that's going to be impacted by the agriculture shut down there's taking place in this country. yeah, let me, let me ask you about that because this is clearly the ripple effect isn't there. we

talk talking about this for weeks to describe to us what kind of impacts we're seeing now that we're into, i think dave, 50 of this conflict. what is the impact that we're seeing across the rest of the world? yet, rob, i don't think the impacts could be what we call a ripple effect. i think this could be a su navea saying that's what we're looking at. 50 percent of what we buy to feed. we feed about a 125000000 people around the world. in the most delicate, fragile places, and if we're not there with food security, we're talking about not just famine. you're talking about destabilization of several nations and mass migration. so we might be 80 percent of what we buy from ukraine and that's just us. here's what most people don't realize, you cray produces enough food to support 400000000 people around the world. you gave the numbers earlier about the we production where grain production, sunflower, oil, cooking oil and mains. and so we're talking about

a global crisis. if we don't stabilize and open up the supply chain, this necessary, i can start going through country by country to like, ease of 85 percent of the screen for bread, for example, comes from ukraine and russia, ah lebanon, 80 percent, the year before last fit, i can keep going by country, by country, by country, so it will create a global crisis if we don't address this. and one of the things we got to do, we got to get the farmers back in the field own to the tractors. so the harvest can take place and then we'd got to move this harvest through the port. we got to protect the porch. we've got to open up the ports so that this massive amount of food that these hundreds of millions of people around the world is available to the people in, especially in the humanitarian sector. we've had 4 weeks correspondence have been reporting on the, from all over ukraine and the different elements of the war bringing us their, their views and their stories. i want to ask you,

given the fact that you are very in a very different capacity, what is your feeling? what is your reaction? when you see the devastation that you've talked about and the strengths of the cities that you've been to ukraine, the stories that you've heard. oh my goodness, i'm just, just in the last few hours listening to the stories of women who seeing their husbands shot or, or our children, had been indiscriminately shot and, and grandmothers that have been indiscriminately shy. i just can't believe that this is taking place. and so, you know, we're trying to stay focused on helping those indeed, here. edu. grain is the same time doing everything we can to help those people that going to be impacted outside the ukraine by what's taking place in the farming in the agricultural community. we're trying to do everything we can to buy a locally. you try to try to influence the economy here, get cash the economy help people survive. and so when you hear the stories in it's just heartbreaking. and then you see people that can't even get to because we can't

reach them. it's one thing to be devastated by, by ammunition and war and conflict directly is another thing when they're being starved to death. and that both of those are unacceptable. david beasley of the united nations world food program as always, we appreciate you being a knowledge of data, so thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you up time or had on the news or including we're going to have the latest from south africa where hundreds of people have died in the worst floods. in 60 years after a year of waiting, somali is new members of parliament and sworn and more ahead on the violence that stole the election process on the atlanta hawks. so one went away from the n. b. a playoffs generally is gonna be here with the action and sport ah, is really i'm, he says dozens of palestinians who've been arrested and had weapons confiscated.

it's part of what israel calls counter terrorism operations. its forces shot dead to palestinians during raids on villages in the early hours of thursday morning. it happened years in, in, in the occupied west bank for other people were killed earlier, including a 14 year old boy is ready forces have been conducting raid since a palestinian gunman killed 3 israel in tel aviv last week. it abraham's joining us live from jeanine in the occupied west bank. nita, tell us what the mood is like there. ah, there's a lot of tension, a lot of anger, a lot of sadness, floyd funerals took place to day in different places in the occupied westbank. people die by is really courses choir since wednesday, so you can imagine the level of intensity people here say about accountability. the latest meant to be pronounced dead is a 2 to 5 year old from nav. listen, the north of the occupied westbank where he succumb to his wounds after he was so

yesterday, by is ready for his my recommendation in here. yeah. before that 20 year old palestinians funeral went ahead and see why the 14 year old boy who assaulted the head after what palestinians say with confrontations near his village, near beth live. so as you can, these are few roles and these injuries and killings are happening in different areas in the west bank to show you that there is a high level of intensity. there is anger, but we need to remember that since the beginning of the year, 41 palestinians have been killed. the majority of them in competitions with these re the military. so we're not just talking about the latest attacks in israel as a starting point for the current escalation. yes, indeed, it has contributed to hight intentions all across the west bank. but palestinians want the world to know that they have been under occupation for decades. and it's

rarely been a night in the west bank where they haven't seen israeli army weighed their cities, arrests people, and sometimes shooting, kill them. there are concerns either on the those tensions you're talking about troops actually escalate on friday. why is that? we are 1st of all in the islamic holy month of ramadan, we are also ahead of the jewish holiday or so there. this is a heightened tension, specifically in occupied these jerusalem, where palestinians want to go and pray and unlock some loss compound that reminded by the restrictions that are imposed by these really forces there. so it is already attends situation. for example, last year we had a lot of tension during that monday. in escalation start, it occupied these 2 scenarios where these really

a government was trying to forcibly evict the palestinian family from its home from their home. so that led to heighten tension that ended up in their 11 day war between the armed factions and the besieged, gaza strip. and in israel. so you're already, we're talking about the timing that are sensitive. but also it's important to remember that for palestinians, the occupation is going on in full swing when, when we talk about the get his re settlements that are expanding. when we talk about the is wally settler attacks against palestinians that often go an indicted. ah, we talk about no prospects of the, of a peace process of hope. we have a generation that has been raised to an idea that they're going to have their own state one day, but all they're seeing is raises grady occupation going on. so it's important to keep that in mind when we talk about the situation in general. now,

are we talking about an escalation? are we talking about a support by the armed fractions to the palestinians? i'm not sure about that, but let's with and see how the situation unfolds. need abraham talking to us from sitting in the occupied westbank leader. thank you. some asylum seekers trying to enter the u. k. r to be sent to lawanda for processing. your k prime minister barrels johnson has announced it'll apply to those who crossed the english channel . it's part of a $130000000.00 deal that's been criticized by rights groups. johnson says he believes the risk of ending up in rwanda will be a 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 over time prove a very considerable deterrent. nobody's home secretary, pretty patel, travel to the london capital for the announcement. rwanda's foreign minister, vincent booter has welcomed the plan, which he described as unique and innovative by relocating maintenance to wonder investing in their personal development and providing education, employment, and other opportunities. we are giving them the chance to make new lives. you know, country is full members of our communities. this, we not only hip them what it would benefit to wonder in london's and the head of that was own development. and for those who don't wish to make it wonder the new home the be facilitated to return to the country or footage in or settle in other receiving countries. and that bothers in london with more in the agreement. it's

controversial. it's also slightly contradictory as well. you heard, or 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 says it could be a 1000 the day soon, and the total figure philosophy with 28000 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 the deterrent, but at the same time in kigali,

the rwandan capital on thursday, his home secretary pretty patel, stood next to the rwanda's foreign minister announcing that 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. or vicky hawkins joins his life in london. she's you close executive director of the medical charity doctors without borders. good to have you with his mom i'm. i'm all 0. if a boris johnson is intending to make this a determined one that would imply that it's going to rolanda would be significantly worse than trying to cross the channel on a flimsy boat in order to get into the u. k. how confident can people be that if

they go to rwanda, they're actually gonna get the support that the rwandan government says they're going to get i, i can't really comment on the support that people would get in rwanda. i mean, as your, as your kind of commentators have no, so this is just been announced to day. it's very scant on detail. we really don't have any insight into how the government would intend to implementable over see this agreement with the government of rwanda. but i think from and assess points of view are real concern is about the physical and mental harm that oft offshoring. refugees and migrants in this way causes to people, people that make the crossing on the channel. they're already vulnerable and traumatized people. they need protection and are work in similar situations where people have been where refugees migrants have been off short, such as are narrow when the mary, when the australian government implemented the same policy, i mean,

it was very evident to us that was some of the worst mental health suffering, we've seen in all of our programs around the worlds. so the, the impact on already traumatized people is just enormous. what's the alternative then? if it is not to, as you say, offshore people in order to, to process them. and yet countries are unwilling to free up their borders and to support people who want to make asylum claims. what is the alternative? how do people get process? so the fundamental problem with nationalities and buddhist bill, which is currently making its way through parliament, is that as the clip with forest johnson illustrated, the government is only focusing on deterrence unpack units of measures. it is all about deterring people from using irregular means to reach the u. k. and the only way then that you can actually encourage people to use the say from legal talons

channels is to increase their availability to increase people's access to them. without increasing the availability of safe and legal channels, which is not happening at the same time as this bill makes its way through parliament, the government's own equality in impact assessment has demonstrated that people are likely just to find more dangerous ways to make the journey. so we do not believe that a policies such as offshoring, a actually effective in relation to terence. and as i've already said, they cause enormous physical and mental hom, along the way. as you say that it is a, this is just coming out in the last few hours but, but as far as you are aware, how does this stand in relation to the legal aspects of refugee rights? for example, with regard to say the geneva convention for refugees. is there any, does this actually have any legal basis? so, i mean, you would need to really put that question to a lawyer. we're obviously a humanitarian medical organization,

but certainly we see this policy as a complete application of british governments responsibilities under the refugee protect aren't on the refugee convention. the home of his, his own data last year shows that of all the asylum applications they received, of which many of them were from people crossing the channel. 2 thirds of those people had a legitimate claim to protection in the u. k. and it's actually not the case that the numbers in the u. k. have increased over is, is they've actually decreased. but what we're seeing now is that it's just more visible because people, all a for desperate kind of measures was bare, resorting to these very flimsy boats and making this very dangerous crossing over the channel, the actually the number of asylum applications to the u. k. in the past few years has decreased. so that's, it's actually not. it's not the case to say that there are though greater numbers today than they used to be. we're really appreciate your brochures. you're giving

us the benefit of your experience for hawkins of doctors without borders. we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. okay, thank you. well, starting in south africa is killed at least 300 people. the disaster near the east coast city of durban follows the heaviest drain for 60 years with more downpours forecast. president sydel, rama forza has been seeing how homes, bridges, and roads have been washed away. he says it's a catastrophe of epic proportions and is partially due to climate change. vomiting miller has more form durbin since these, most of the floods to place late on monday night. they have been some improvements to conditions in areas like this one we are in, in nando is some of the worst flooding and mudslides took place in since then, because the weather's improved. and the sun's 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 we go from the government is that 306 people were killed in the flooding, and they is so concerned around those who are still missing, but they are issues around possibly inaccurate information and accessing some areas across the province. still hadn't al jazeera shall anchor's prime minister offers to meet protest who's calling for his resignation. fighting for constitutional change in chile will a good why some say misinformation is hampering reform, kind of sprinting. legend says it's time to retire. gemma will have that story in sport. ah ah, hey there, welcome to your world's weather update for the middle east and africa. great to see you. i'm going to start in the middle east where we've got this area of cloud,

which may generate some showers and, and around re i'd certainly the risk is there. so we go in for a closer look right now, we can see some that activity popping up as same goes for a crew key weight. we've got to put the risk in there for showers, and thunderstorms, pre monsoon heat, still a factor across pakistan. we've got temperatures in the low fourties, also as we looked toward afghanistan, high temperatures, inherits at 34, may see a spirits of rain in patron with a height 27 degrees and maybe even power up, some thunderstorms here, which will cool the atmosphere to 20 degrees on sunday, look at that overnight. low sunday into monday. fresh just 7 degrees off to turkey . we go and we've got some cloud cover over central areas. this includes for the capitol on colorado, 16 degrees, and now we're going to central africa. we've can pretty much track out storms from juba right through to do all up further toward the south and we've got a return of rain for floods stricken areas of south africa. this includes cause zulu, no tall, but meantime for a cape town,

by british prime ministers announced that some asylum seekers trying to enter the u . k. will be sent to lawanda for processing the plans being criticized by rights groups and opposition. politicians. the world's richest man wants to buy twitter, so he says, hello mosque now holds a 9 percent stake in the social media platform. and he's beta $43000000000.00 for the entire company. sort of says at all, carefully review the offer mosque, who owns test line space x says twitter falls short of his free speech principles and needs a complete overhaul. well, let's get more and this will give, i was under. he was in new york for us. why is he saying that he wants to buy twitter? well, only elan must knows the answer to that question, but he says that he wants to untapped twitters full potential. and he says only he can do it. eli musk sorta has a love, hate relationship with twitter and

a very public one that he has 81000000 followers himself. he tweets a lot to uses the platform to promote his various businesses like test lens space x . but he also has been very critical of twitter as well saying in the past and very recently as well that he thought that the social media platform did not practice free speech and was critical of twitter d platforming people such as the former us president donald trump, so what must real motivations are, nobody really knows. but the bottom line is he is saying he's going to put his money where his mouth is an offering. this really surprising it took everybody by surprise, this offer to buy a 100 percent of the company. this comes a week after he just bought 9 percent steak and twitter making him the biggest shareholder at 9 percent. now he says he wants to go all the way and on 100 percent . to be very interesting to see twitter itself is very much in crisis. the board is

meeting about this today on thursday. and then we're also told that twitter employees are having an all hands on deck meeting later on thursday, as well at the company's san francisco headquarters. give us seriously, are people taking this present the markets? well, they're not quite sure what to make of this quite frankly, even musk is such an unusual person. it in the way that he does business is so unusual. this is not normally how a hostile takeover of a company would be done. you know, he always kind of pivots left when you should go right. goes right when you should go left. and he has a very contentious relationship with the fcc. this curious and exchange commission in the u. s, which is the regulatory body over the markets. very contentious relationship with them. so the markets are taking this seriously. the stock is about one percent.

it's about flat today, but it's up about 20 percent this month after musk bought 9 percent of twitter about a week ago. right now the markets are kind of sitting back and they're pretty much doing what everyone else is doing, sitting back saying, is this a real offer or not? and will, will the company accepted or not? and then until we get an answer to, if it's actually going to be sold or not, that's when will really get a better sense on the markets. i will say many, many big companies, including disney had considered buying twitter in the past, but backed out saying it probably wasn't a good investment. so there is a possibility that a twitter will not accept this offer from, from eli musk or ilan musk could back out of this is, are all possibilities. so you won't get a sense on what the markets for reaction to this is until we get a little bit more clarity, perhaps in the coming hours. even gabriel, thank you very much. gabrielle. i was on talking to us from new york. i want to bring in jessica gonzalez,

see joining us live from the sign. she's just co c e o of free press. it's a non partisan organization focusing on communications rights. good, happy with us on al jazeera, i was just reading that you must have written to brett taylor, that's the chair of twitch as saying the site was not fiving as a company or a tool for improving freedom of speech needs to be transformed as a private company, i suppose at heart, really this would be down to how long must defines free speech. that's right, and i'm not sure we should trust him. frankly. i think you on musk ought to stick to cars in the twitter board ought to reject this offer. this is about more than just investment money and markets. this is about the future of our democracy. this is about public health and safety, civil and human rights. and i don't think of you on must understand anything about that. there is a balancing of important interests that have to be done when it comes to content moderation. and we've seen ellen musk time and again spread vaccine disinformation

use the platform to build his own wealth at the expense of others. and i'm call on his troll army to attack and harass people who disagree with him. this is not the future briggs free expression that i want to see. this is not the 3 cher free expression that we need for multiracial democracies in the 21st century. there is an element of toxicity which has become embedded in the image of twitter, which twitter is finding very difficult to, to get rid of. we saw that particularly during the elements of the trump administration and various uh, no cones. if you like from that, in the event that you long mosque gets hold of this company, or indeed if anybody else gets hold of the company, what do they have to do to try to disentangled that and that toxicity that, that exists? a that's embedded with it, i'm make it into a pure freedom of speech balanced site. yes, this is where we need to deepen our free speech analysis. we need to understand why

do we want free speech? we want it so that people have access to information to make good choices about things that are happening in their lives. we need it so that we have an informed electorate. we needed to advance democracy. we need free speech to advance racial justice and you on musk understands none of this. twitter as a company can be a, could get a lot better, but it has made improvements. i think the decision to take donald trump after off the platform was a good one. we should not allow these platforms to be a place were organized violence and efforts to overthrow democracy ah, are happening. we need some accountability from tac platforms and it concerns me greatly that ellen musk wants to take this company private. it means even less accountability to the public. do you think we might be looking at this in 2 as atomic terms? and he's actually just looking out from a monetization point of view that he's gonna stick more advertising on there. he'll

find a way to, to something you'll get people to pay subscriptions, for example, in order to be able to join the service it do think that that could be at the heart of this. rather van, a focus on the free speech element. i highly doubt it, like you said in the, in the intro there, other companies like disney have looked at twitter, they found that it wasn't profitable enough to me mean that it was a good investment. i think that the line must and this is an assumption, i'm not inside his head, but i think that he wants to control how we connect and communicate. ah, i don't think this is a good business investment. i think if he were to, for instance, at go to a subscription model that he would look, you know, i don't think it would work. frankly, twitter is different than other social media platforms. the low barriers to entry or why people can communicate, ah, so freely there. and so i, i highly doubt that, i guess it's a possibility. ah, but it seems to me that at the heart of this is his desire to control
