are becoming some sort of a regular scene here in the occupied westbank pacifically in the northern part of it as is the one is intensifying its way. people here are telling me that this is about one nation human beer. but the fuel that i, this measures is waging a war on their very i following closely the events that are on with. and they believe i will have i room to live. oh, russia says it's hit a ukrainian military plant in the key region. this was a scene earlier and wish never just outside the capital that comes at moscow, warns ukraine it will pay a heavy price if it attacks russians. cities,

a number of air raid sirens were heard overnight. in keith, we have correspondence in russia and ukraine and amendment will get the reaction from dawson jabar in moscow fast to resolve cetera. in keith, what more can you tell us about these strikes and keith? well, just early in the morning, actually at 1 30 am in the after the midnight we have for the most the most exclusive order. i will say that the postal exclusions that we have heard the 13th 2 weeks off, the russian forces retreated from the regions around around q and a planned in q, which is close to the julian international airport. was he had that plan, that military was a military factory and was making and also fixing the ukrainian nissan, including anti ship me says as well and did that, they just came one day after the,

the symbolic russian symbolically important russian worship collection most was sank in the in the back seat. so there are the reports or 3 week them. however, they are not confirmed so far. just ahead of the tag. the sailors were going off and the officials were asking people not to leave their home as there is a curfew in place. in the city, and now the fear here in the capital key is that if the ward escalate key, the capital key once again will come on more and more attacks from russia. okay, thank you said that russell said that for us in the capital, we can go to moscow now speak to correspond door said jabari. tell us a bit more about this warning from russian defense officials to ukrainians. what exactly is best for us about well,

the russian defense ministry has said that they will ramp up the scale of their military strikes on kiev. should the attacks on russian territory happen and this comes as a result of legit attacks that took place on stay alongside russia's border was ukraine. according to local officials, there were reports of a ukrainian helicopters which entered russian airspace. of course, we cannot independently verify the information, but what they have said is that the ukrainians a carried out 6 air strikes on residential areas in the bronx region of russia, which borders ukraine and bella bruce. and they were 8 people that were reportedly and injured. and they are 2 of them in critical condition. there was also another report of an attack in the belgrade region of russia that borders ukraine, and that is in the area of harkey, vin ukraine, across the border and russia and officials there again said that there was shelling

of residential areas and as a result, 2 villages had to be evacuated. of course. none of this has been independently verified or a from any of the defense ministry. officials have been, i've verified this either. but as these attacks are really what the defense ministry was referring to when they issued that warning, saying that these kinds of strikes on a russian territory will not go unanswered. dosa jibari that for us in moscow. meanwhile, the largest warship in russia's black sea fleet has now sunk off to being damaged in an explosion. the satellite images were taken on wednesday before the incident on the moskva, the russian defense ministry says ammunition exploded on board. but the ukrainian military says it hit the vessel with cruise missiles. the sinking is, of course, a setback for russia. so we've been in touch with ukrainians overnight, who had said that they struck the ship with ship missiles. we don't have the

capacity at this point to independently verify that, but certainly the way that this unfolded, it's a big blow to russia. this is their flagship, the moscow. and they have now been forced to admit that it has been badly damaged and they've had to kind of choose between 2 stories. one story is that it was just in competence, and the other was that they came under attack. and neither is a particularly good outcome for them. hayville, thank al. how is a defense and military analyst ali explained how big a loss this is for russia. the ship was important. it was specifically designed and soviet times to attack and destroy american aircraft. carrier groups were very long range, supersonic gruesome, this house, and the ship, which can also carry

a nuclear weapon. and actually could be, it's a guest, it possible that they've had actually nukes on board when it went down. it's also a possibility. so, so it's over, russian said that their main massage were not destroyed will now be on the bottom of the black sea. i just want to get it back to what you said very briefly about the munitions on board, the mosque for. so this is the conventional weapons as well as did you say nuclear as well? well, that's a possibility. and perma, there is a kind of an issue agreement reached by actually a president bush and president gorbachev, and 9 the one not to deploy nuclear non strategic weapons on sci vessels. as submarines and grip surface whistles were blast, not the treaty. and there being indications that russia was the boring there when

the present situation, when they are such a tension between the west and russia, that could be a kind of possibility of that. some of the 16 as supersonic and the ship missiles on board could have had a specialist this in russia, nuclear warhead on board when the ship was killed. it. i've all fangled how talking to my colleague nick clark level earlier. well, we've also had from ukraine's president today, he says, the invasion of ukraine was only possible because the well did not adequately react to russia's annexation of crimea. 8 years ago. she didn't match a disease that he believes that leach, us 14000 people have died as of today since the beginning of the conflict and on boss. how did the world respond to it? and the question has remained rhetoric. but it's because of this that russia decided they can afford this large scale war does. that he had, he said,

needful drink, 50 days of rushes, lord, skill invasion that they showed that it's the dumbass. that is, the main target for russia is the dumbass that russia wants to destroy the 1st place. it's the nuts and law hun screeching that russian troops are trying to destroy in a way as if they wanted only stones left without any people at all. as for sand now to our top story, the violin confrontations at i'll accept mos compounding occupied east jerusalem early this morning. israeli forces detained about 300 people as go to natasha. g. a name who is in occupied east. jerusalem for us. natasha. if you can hear me at thousands of palestinians were able to worship peacefully to day at lunchtime prayers after the clashes ended. what is the me there now? well, if you look behind me, it's pretty quiet, but you are right. according to the entity that sort of manages the oxide compound, $60000.00 muslims were able to warship inside ox. i'm off today, not

a typical of a friday during ramadan. i want to bring you up to date on a few numbers that have come to our attention. we're now hearing from the palestinian red crescent that 158 people have been injured. the israeli police is saying for 400 palestinians were arrested today. it is also saying that 3 israeli police officers were injured though they suffered minor injuries. but to get back to the broader picture here though it may be calm though thousands of people streamed into alex a mosque. the 3rd holy a site in a slam. this of course is not a day of peace. it was a day for many palestinians of deep distress. many have seen the images on social media of clouds of tear gas bank after bang of stun grenades of men on the floor inside. el ok, so mosque faced down with israeli police inside the mosque. these images are going

to be deeply distressing to palestinians. the mere presence of is really police inside alaska mosque is considered a kind of red line for palestinians. now of course, the israeli police is saying that it was forced to enter them off to disperse quote rioters, and ensure that the peaceful worship of by palestinians could continue. but again, these really foreign minister of foreign ministry in the very beginning when these clashes began in the morning knowing how provocative the idea of police being inside l. ox moss would be to the palestinians in an already tense time initially tweeted that news of inside. oh, axis mosque were quote, fake reports obviously that they later walked that back. but things are definitely 10th people have probably gone home. they'll have some if tar, which is the meal to break the fast after the sunset that the many will return. but

even after the calm had been restored in the compound, there was still a group of young men who went to the police station. there's a tiny station inside the compound and try to dismantle the sign for the police. they did not. and the incident, it was quickly a came and with another issue that may be on the minds this evening. is that a 15 year old girl in haifa stabbed and israeli mat, late this afternoon. he has mild injuries, but she has been arrested israelis. natasha say they have to respond today, but there's been international criticism. what is being said oh well let me give you a sampling of some of the things that we're hearing across the spectrum. important to remember that jordan is the custodian of the christian and most of the muslim holy sites and occupied east jerusalem. so the jordanian foreign minister weighed

in today saying, criticizing the israeli, the police for quote, attacking and arresting worshippers. he called it a dangerous escalation that threatens to further inflame the situation and says, what happened this morning is a quote, late flagrant violation of israel's responsibility as an occupying power. the un special coordinator of the middle east peace process also weighed in on twitter. he says he's deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation and quote, the provocations must stop. he says that is in touch with key allies to see what can be done to calm the situation. now the israeli government is categorizing this as a must back against the wall. a must respond. they're using terms such as they had to disperse violent pro rioters. they say that they needed to quote, ensure that people could worship peacefully and that they won't tolerate violence,

interfering with religious freedom. now whether or not the palestinians agree with that characterization of what happened today, of course remains another story. prime minister, enough tale bennett, also wait in to say today saying that the security forces are prepared for any scenario, but that they will not allow anyone to disrupt worship at all at o, oscar mosque, and that the prayer, the ability to pray, the freedom to pray there is guaranteed. the bennet coalition is in a very precarious situation. it no longer has the majority in the cannot sit. and there is a general feeling that the coalition really wants to tamp down the mood, reduce the tension, and hopefully ensure that things do not inflame further. when he thinks that natasha janine reference in the occupied east, jerusalem a stand to south africa where the armies been called in to help with

rescue and cleanup efforts off to the west flooding and 60 years. troops of bringing aid to thousands of people left without power. and he's 390. 5 people have been killed, dozens more injured. government officials say entire families are missing homes and roads have been washed away. several power plants have also been damaged. that's gay, too. for me to meadows, in devon, for me to it doesn't look, doesn't look good for the residence, does it? because there's more bad weather expected and that's a bad weather has already begun picking up in the last few hours. people across the province of cousin natal had perhaps a day of to try and recover, retrieve some of their belongings, bold re, bold homes that were destroyed by the flooding and mud slides. but now we are really experiencing heavy and potentially damaging winds in this province in the

city of durban. and it's expected that the rain will return, perhaps in the evening and into saturday. and this is what's really concerning for people who have already suffered with the floods we've seen in the last few days in that that bad weather could potentially be destructive and they have barely had time to recover so far there about a 40000 people have been affected some of them entirely displaced. many have tried to return to their homes, to salvage whatever they can also protect their positions out, but it has been difficult. there is still water and electricity out the number of areas. and this is just some of what people in the province and in the area of need to in and us specifically, if our to goes through in the last few days. ah, life is slowly returning to normal in an under outside of durbin, 3 days after torrential, rain and flooding caused widespread damage. this is the 1st day of funny piney park

. a money has been able to operate his food business, which he relies on for a daily income is corckalone has been up and o in his cousin, the floods of really affected us. the people who used to support us could not come embark. no, because they were not going to work or even the little money they had. my so hutchins, also with the water and electricity supply still cut off. funny, funny does not have any way to keep his star city officials a year to begin clearing and rebuilding some of the roads and bridges, which collapsed to were destroyed by mudslides at a home to la, kill him. swim is cleaning up. she says as the flood level reached as high as the rooftop of 5 children, just managed to make it out safely. the last who is, if it is, i've lost everything. my kids, birth certificate, school books and clothes, my fridge, my television, nothing's working because you can see around here and i've not received any help. i only managed to get blankets for my neighbor. residents, no $10.00,

even less has some food, has been distributed, but people in this ward have not received any and they have to make use of whatever they can to get by 5, most of our community members are using the stream where the water, we don't even know we're coming from so to wash our laundry and also drink from the contaminated water. while people try to recover, it could be short lived. more rain is expected in the coming days. many people living in informal settlements like this one ready struggle to make ends meet the destruction caused by the flooding system back even further in many say they've not received help from the government. that's the fight. it's promises to assist. those affected me. the miller also 0 in south africa, will cleanup efforts in south africa will be hamper this weekend with more rain on the way as we have been hearing. he has jeff with your weld weather update. well, it wasn't one months. it was 2 months worth of rain the turban saw just

a short time ago in a short span. and now we've got another round of rain coming out. sure. there is a weather alert in play for disruptive rain for parts of the province of quasi luna tall. this does include durbin, so with this next few days we've got rain in the forecast. i don't think it's until monday that you will see a return of the sun central africa. we've got storms moving east to west in this area. it's what we would expect and off to the top end of africa. lot of sand and dust being spun around for a round, libya we've seen heavy rain through algeria, but that shifting further toward the east, this becomes a story for tunisia, northern parts and our usual storms rolling across the gulf of guinea. now for the middle east, it's been whole about the heat. ok, so we put the colors on here, darker the red, the higher the temperature you 8 e sunspots almost 46 degrees. justice smidge off the record. so we give you a wider look rate. now at the region, we've got to buy in for a high of 40 degrees on saturday, starting to see those north northwesterly winds develop again so that could stir

around some sand and dust, but nothing major. here under the sun will be out with the high of $38.00 degrees soon. the number of casualties from flooding in the philippines is rising. 156 people have died and more than 200 are missing. tropical storm. maggie dumped heavy rain at the central late province for days, devastating entire communities. emergency workers spent wednesday, retrieving bodies from a coastal village destroyed by a landslide. jamila adding dagon reports from bay bay city rescuer stella. so there were 2 landslides. the 1st one happened at 5 e m, which gave time for some families to evacuate. the 2nd one, the sea, was deadly. they saw how waves of mud came rolling down the mountains, varying hundreds of civilians here. and this is all what's left of it. now. we've also spoken to rescuers and volunteers who see their efforts remain hampered by

incessant rain. the ground is still not stable enough for a back whole machine and they believe it may take a few more days before a full scale retrieval operations will be underway. we are with the composite group of government responders and over the past few days, they have been focused on rescue and achievable operations around the periphery of what they called the ground 0 of this village. it is hard to imagine that this was just a few days ago, a thriving community. there was a school, a church, a playground, a gym, for people who never thought that such disaster was even possible for them. now president rodrigo detective visited the province of later today, and he basically promised that he is going to make sure that all the necessary resources will be given to those in desperate need of aids and assistance. still

ahead on al jazeera making, a whole sal bed, the wells, which is man tries to take. i have a twitter. we'll try and explain why on england, the looking for a new test, cricket captain on that home. oh, joined the debates. it is no job bad. didn't know if anyone here talks about women that i was with seem to have been says, no topic is off the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket street to help all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources and the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. be part of today's program. this stream on al jazeera

ah ah ah ah ah, welcome back you watching the out. is there a melinda? how top stories is our russia has a tax, a military plot near ukraine's capital, and his warning, it could step off a tax on keith. ukraine is also being told they'll be

a of the price to pay if cities and russia tax crowds of worshippers have returned to alex and most for press hours. alt is ready forces. detain 300 people, the least a 150 palestinians have been injured during the confrontations funeral for 17, your palestinian has been held in the village of cooper done in the occupied westbank. he is one of 6 palestinians killed in braids by israeli forces since wednesday as some of the most volatile periods in the israeli palestinian conflict have centered around a man made hill in occupied east. jerusalem is old city. was them called it the harem? i'll sharif or the noble sanctuary because it contains 2 islam. holiest places, the alex, a mosque, and the dome of the rock. now juice called the hill, the temple mounts and revere the area as its base, known as the weston war. with so many important religious sites in such

a small space, the situation around the hill is often tense. any change to the status quo, or a threat to one of the holy sites can quickly lead to trouble. as bringing out is there a senior political analyst, my own bushera, he's in paris as talk about the timing 1st day of these clashes at alaska, alex almost today. hugely symbolic. last year's 11 day war spot from clashes there during ramadan. could we see father escalation? do you think in the hours in the days to come it is possible, i would say even probable because of the sort of dark times that were going through in palestine. the occupations intensifying so or illegal sacraments. israeli government was not letting go. i can the range and the various religious towns that refugee camps of the occupied territories continues unabated.

and i think a whole generation of palestinian youth is simply taking advantage of every possible opportunity. every possible stone, every possible gun, every possible throat in order to shout their way against the occupation and light of political and diplomatic essays in light of the weakness of the palestinian quality and the indifference of various arab regina. such just recently were in beds with the really government and like all of that, i think we could see more tensions and possibly another uprising on what you think needs to change for this cycle of violence between disraeli and palestinians to be broken. what i would say, hey, you know, this is a simple as ending documentation and with, but we've been saying that for the last 50 years,

right. and then nothing happened. not really simply, there was a sort of game of thrones of sort where advisor and managed to, you know, have a better control that policy with who's with the aid of a palestinian authority. that is more than glad to do israel's bedding and will stand. it goes, of course it has its own reasons and logic and it says it must do that. it's must not, there must not be another uprising because it's only the simians that would be hurt white. but in the end of the day, we know we warn, year after year with the person who's living under the same misery and a lot of them on the, in refugee camps. and it's, they spend a city as a refugee camps are been getting more of the more violent operations, because the resistance did evolve over the years. right. i mean, at one point when there was contact between settlers and, and part of citizen,

there's always thought that you would see it. but a scene is resisting none violently. why the settlers attacking violently. but now that there is more palestinian force or security, the forces being of buffer zone between palestinian protesters and the israeli forces. we see the palestinians aggravated and thence some of them very few carrying more of violent operations within israel. but all in all, if you look at, at the, at the graph, if you will, you will see at more about us than you are getting involved violently or peacefully enforced against these areas. and we're seeing that inside israel as much as in dr . by therapies. i think we are move beyond occupied territories. one state ortega reality. that's interesting. so you are saying we now have a new generation of palestinians. no longer happy to throw stones and sticks, but who are prepared to die for the cause that's incredibly wearing what the thing

is that, you know, if you see like what i have we reported on today, right? the entire day we'd been reporting on palestinians or testing, shouting, praying, or throwing stones right. why? because in our there are points of contacts with these in security. so when there is, they do protest in the best possible way, whether it's through sticks and stones, right? but when the on the west bank, there is no point of contact because it's the best thing you secure the forces that is doing good oppression. but be that as it may, yes, there is something worried. and what, what is the most, is that we have this generation, right? all these young people that we've seen on the pictures today, or that we've seen that attacks over the last several weeks. these are, this is being austin generation. this is young people born after the all slow piece bosses started. so that gives you a, you know,

an idea of how badly this went wrong, how the peace process was really a war process, an occupation process that produced a war generation, a generation that is ready to do all in order to be free from the occupation out of our senior political analyst, my on precise post and her staff, and past 90 the war ukraine is having unexpected consequences for energy supplies. germany has reversed its decision to phase out coal mining onto the u. bond. russian imports that fast and reports from brandenburg on german search for tentative energy. mcknight or brown call, has long been at the center of and for your mental protest called the dirtiest form of coal that has been providing power to the german economy and household for decades. under pressure from the green party, the new government announced it aims to close these open minds by 2030. but that was before the russia invaded ukraine college by gunshot, its grave of

a terrible war ukraine means we are realizing, but electricity supply in germany wasn't and isn't very secure. and there are several possible risk factors applies to gas oil and to hot cold too. and, but of course some who are now thinking domestic energy source, which will always be available as well as wind and sun, of course. and that's lick night to make sure there's enough energy and future winters at regional government. and brandon book has asked permission to keep some late night power plant on stand by to have the necessary supply for the coming winter season. and that hopefully without any dependence on imports from russia. that problem has it's still not been solved. and inter, as, as i'm coming from the field of industrial safety, i would prefer to as a situation with belt and parachute, and so it would be worthwhile to keep them available. ukraine has accused germany of financing rushes war because of the dependency on russian gas oil and called the

u. has decided to band call in ports which will cause russia around 4000000000 years a year. in comparison, a ban on russian gas and oil would cause the country, $80000000000.00 euros. this is one of the few poet stations in germany, not depending on import from russia. the massively reduced leg night is one of the most reliable sources germany has, but also one of the most polluting. it was unthinkable just a few months ago that the new government in which greens play an important role would even consider using more coal. but the war in ukraine has changed everything and the climate could be and not a victim more c, o, 2 emissions instead of less, an uncomfortable reality for environmental groups who have long campaigned for an and to call use germany for a long period of time has sponsored to the russian degree, bonacre's, russia and has put russia in a position to finance that war. unfortunately,

we cannot get rid of that dependency remote. it's obviously bitter pill year old code power plants that have to get back on the grid. but we have to accelerate the build of renewables. this need some years. berta, germany industry now has a clear target that its future is based on a new blemish. but building wind farms and solar panels takes time and germany is under pressure to act. now that pressure will only grow if terrible images continue to come out of ukraine, and you decide to go further and band russian oil and gas steadfast and elsie's era in brandenburg. so i suppose is considering whether to sell out to the wells that richest man. ellen musk has made a $43000000000.00 offer. he says the social media platform has extraordinary potential. he has gable alexander in york. ah, he lawn, musk likes being center stage in everything he does. you guys are going to die and

now must attempt to take over. twitter has certainly got every one talking about him. illness confirming in his 1st interview since the news broke, that he wants to buy twitter, saying it's not about making money, but something bigger. having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive. is extremely important to the future of civilization. a week ago he bought a 9 percent stake in the social media platform, making him it's a biggest shareholder, but he wasn't done. musk broke the news appropriately on twitter, making an offer for 100 percent of the company at $54.20 a share. a total purchase of a little over $40000000000.00 in a letter to the company's board of directors. musk said twitter has extra ordinary potential. i will unlock it. you know, must go very strong opinions on, on free speech on,

on his what he believes twitter needs to do to fix the platform. i think that there's not necessarily aligned with the majority of old. there's 2 treaties and so from that respect i think this could be a bad day for. ready because what he uses eye mask as a love hate relationship with twitter, with 81000000 followers. he is an adept user of the platform and boasts it's potential. but he's also been critical of twitters aggressive stance at canceling accounts of users. it feels promot misinformation, even if that user is a president. last year twitter permanently suspended. the account of donald trump critic say a twitter take over by musk would be dangerous eon musk on a stick to cars in the twitter board on a rejected offer. and we've seen ellen musk timing again spread vaccine, just information, use a platform to build his own wealth at the expense of others, and call on his troll army to attack and harass people who disagree with the u. s.

government charged mosque with securities fraud in 2018 for misleading tweets that he sent out about his car company tesla. he agreed to settle and pay nearly $40000000.00 in fines, but must knows that his attempt to buy twitter could bring similar government scrutiny, pushing discount. this is the world's richest man, and he is having a lot of fun here and he's enjoying it. could well turn out to be the biggest product that we had, a lot of that was seen. will the little bird have a new owner? it very well could, if musky serious, and gets his way, which is far from a sure thing. gabriel's onto al jazeera, new york, or 4000000000 people, more than half the global population log into social media. regularity are they, all the sites is facebook on its top of the food chain, with more than 2 point. 9000000000. regular uses is parent company meta own social

. john's messenger, which has 988000000 uses whatsapp with about 2000000000 uses. and instagram at 1400000. youtube come 2nd globally with 2500000000 uses. and chinese own tick tock, which has only been around since 2016, attracts about a 1000000000 funny that twist, which is about 16 years old, but has only 436000000 uses. let's bring it aging wexler in dublin. he's technology editor at the irish independent, thank you for joining the program of some a describing this bed as a game changer for twist. as others are saying, it's a whim to get attention. what's your take? my take is that i think that the law most says he wants to protect free speech, but i think he prefers to take on impossible task. don't forget, this is the guy who literally built space rockets from scratch. now has the majority of the commercial contracts into space,

he completely disrupted the electric car industry. he wants to bore tunnels between metropolitan cities in the states. and so he is now trying to take on the most impossible task of all trying to get people to be civil with each other on line. and he's doing it at a very, very difficult time. because while he talks about free speech and he rails against the censorship, and cancellation of accounts across the world, regulators are actually tightening content moderation rules, for example, in the european union, which is now the western internet's most influential content. moderator regulator, it's about to bring in the digital services act, which will increase fines, hugely, for things like hate speech. so it's going to be very interesting to see if he la mosque does follow through. and it's by no means certain that he can or that he can afford us for that. whether he'll actually be able to implement his vision of free

speech, or is that it's, this is not about money, but he is of course, the wells, which is best then for reasons. so if he does want it to make money somehow, how would he go about it? that's a very, very good question of all of the social networks and platforms that you quoted a moment ago. twitter is by far the least profitable when it barely makes a profit, something around a $100000000.00. whereas the others typically, you know, bring in profits into the billions enough because it's so small, it's ads are nowhere near as effective as they are in the likes of instagram or facebook, or youtube that or even tick tock. now, traditionally, the value in trader has been its leverage and its influence, so he lost himself. when we 1st learned that he had bought shares in twitter, twitter share price went up by 20 percent. you'll have heard of things like mean stocks like blackberry or am see essentially what we're dying or,

or lowly stocks, but someone like elan musk comes in, biggs, them up and all of a sudden their, their share price starts. so it's really the, the leverage the twitter has on the world's need da, which makes this the, the thing worth having a more general question. what do you think the future looks like for social media companies? many have been talking bad mess of us. is that the next big thing? yes, i think that the platforms are here to stay. as i said, the regulators around the world, particularly here in the european union, have had a love, hate relationship with social media over recent years. and they're now really beginning to tighten the regulatory grip. so i think that they will slowly become a slightly more civilized place. and i don't think that the polarization that we

have seen is going to go away any time soon. but if you de la musk does succeed in buying twitter, it could be kind of explosive. really interesting to talk to andrea adrian wetland technology at us at the irish, independent speaking to a staff in dublin. still ahead on al jazeera, the pittsburgh penguins, that's a remarkable post season sequence. record pizza will have the details. ah, and all the fanfare, but none of the usual military power on display will tell you about the latest celebrations in north korea. ah, with

people will still be required to wear masks, indoors, and outdoors. although the government has said it will review this in the weeks ahead. 2 days and i see, i think it's still appropriate to wear a mask indoors, but i think it's ok without one outdoors. people are keeping a distance. south korea was one of the 1st countries to experience a cove at 19 outbreak. but it was able to flattened the curve quickly with a combination of testing, tracing and treating. by because of that, it never had to impose any lockdown. public health officials were also quick to revise their strategy when the highly transmissible omicron variant to cold is in, from teeter la, wouldn't we transition to a system for a large scale outbreak. placing more important on a universal approach under the ordinary system, while raising the vaccination rate and administering oral treatment to south korea is seen as a success in terms of how it's handling the pandemic. even so officials have not

contributed to his team's 1st defeat in 60 matches in all competitions. as douglas in iowa. my will, elena, i tried to tell the players that what mattered was just the pitch, but the whole situation affected us anyway, but it's not an excuse. it didn't help us, but we also couldn't compete well, she more. it was clearly a mistake of estimating and planning. oh, you cannot have something like that. but when you play at home, the team wants to know what happened. we would like to receive an explanation for what happened was that spanish football journalist gemma solaire says the visiting fans were not the biggest problem for barcelona. yesterday. i think it was one of the service the nights. the come know it was terrible that the, the pictures we could so help of the stadium with white t shirts with visitors, s reporters. it was really shopping for the fun base. it was just a picture in the biggest stadium in europe. i'm not sure it had a lot of effect in the result. honestly,

everything that could go wrong went wrong. for example, the best player to pay that he got injured and without seeming to the fickle to, to try to come from behind. they had had a huge mess to dependence for so long, and they are just trying to, to solve the then i think they, they improve they by little, by leave it little. they are doing better. but at some point in this kind of matches is that like they have some kind of trauma that they, they think they are both notable and, and if something can go wrong it will go wrong. the ones that are doing a lot of the job are too young without maybe too much experience in the periods. and that is another thing that is quite important. i think they are working on these and it will get better is the physical. the physicality is not the same. couple. europe, leaks and the spanish legs, and i think it's getting better, but it's not enough. so they have a problem with

a physical and at some point in europe also mentally, english, club, west ham. i've reached their 1st major european, semi final in 46 years, based on french side, leon, 3 know on thursday toronto for one on aggregate. they'll play entre frankfurt next . and incidentally, it was, frankly, we're also their opponents. in the semi finals of the 1976 european cup willis cag officers were said last major, continental semi performance is scottish club rangers, re play or be light. see again, the are the same. you have to see of 9 men, brother, he more ruth scoring extra time for ranges as they beat a portuguese opponents 31 on thursday, overturning one no deficit from the 1st leg. it's ranges 1st appearance in the last 4 of the european competition since 2008. the owners of the chicago cubs of pulled out of buying chelsea, leaving 3 remaining beds. the premium club is being sold by russian owner, roman abram of it was under sanctions imposed by the u. k. government chelsea,

bosh boss thomas to cal hopes its take over will be final. i see it's still a process. hm. and. and i heard that talk so still ongoing, also with a government and i'm still not involved, which i'm glad about have to say because we have for look to focus on here and, and there's where our focus goes to. so like i said in the 1st answer, we hope that things will be sorted out as soon as possible to have clarity. but i can understand that it's not that easy. england will be looking for a new test, cricket captain, after joe route announced he was stepping down from the roll off to 5 years at the helm. pressure had been building on route after he oversaw 4 consecutive test series defeats, including most recently lost against the west. indies and a for no ashes, hammering in australia. the tampa bay lightning are on their way to the n h l. playoffs after 43 overtime. when against the anaheim ducks pittsburgh penguins also through the post season. remarkably for the 16th street here. at the longest act of
