main response, what happens the ukrainians then what has been meted out to these non european produce hotline? as i do, is that gonna anal 3 out to aim? if somebody comes to gonna from europe, then never call of an immigrant, even if they go through exactly the same processes that we go through to come here . they're always known as an ex pat studio, be unscripted on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm rob matheson, this is the news are live from doha, coming out the next 60 minutes. more than 900 bodies are finding ukraine's key region after russian forces withdraw. but he said, victims have been executed devastation in the philippines as landslides triggered

by a tropical storm of wipe out homes. many a dead or missing a search for survivors in south africa, nearly 400 people are dead after the worst flooding in 60 years. and electric vehicles take center stage at the new york international auto so but can they overtake petrol guzzling cars? and i'm, he stammered with your sports, 2 of england's football heavyweights prepared to go head to head. manchester city face liverpool in the semi finals of the f, a cup at wembley, stadium, police and ukraine said the bodies of more than $900.00 civilians have been found in areas surrounding the capital. the discovery comes off to russian forces, withdrew the head of keeps, regional force says more than $350.00 corpses were found in the town of boucher alone. or let's get more from charles strafford in the ukrainian capital. keith

charles talked to us about these grizzly discoveries that seem to be happening on a semi regular basis now. that's right. some pretty horrific statistics are being put out by the ukraine and o sort is more than $900.00 bodies, as you say, at least $350.00 of them in that area of boucher and according to the ukraine authorities is strong evidence that the majority of these people may well have been shot at close range. now we know that the ukraine and government with their western backers are pushing for some sort of investigation into possible war crimes committed by the russians. but we also know that there are huge challenges with such an endeavor, legal experts here say that the 1st challenge is basically the compatibility of the ukranian legal system with an institution. and it's an international institution

like the international criminal court, the i c, c. that's the 1st hurdle. a 2nd question with respect to when exactly to start such an investigation because of course the war is ongoing. there are certain legal experts that we've spoken to who say, but they all concerned, for example, of more evidence of possible war crimes having be committed, being destroyed. as for example, there are the beginnings of mind sweeping mind sweeping attempts, attempts it basically moving minds out of mind areas by the ukraine and military affairs about destroying the evidence. and there's also concerns, according to legal experts here about just how competence the ukranian legal establishment is in dealing with such a huge investigation. so despite these incredibly as a se, perfect grizzly statistics being put out, statistics that is important to recognize the russians completely deny. moscow says

that sam, for example, a bodies that were discovered in boucher were put there by the ukrainians. they say that this is false and false news and a provocative one that but despite that denial, as i say, and despite the, the her, if it numbers, there are some huge challenges ahead. if any kind of a solid investigation into a ledge war crimes is going to start and shows all of this happening with the backdrop of increasing strikes, we're hearing about on cave. you've been to the sight of one of those. tell us what you've been saying. that's right, we are close to an a. what is be described as a tank repair institution? sorry, infrastructure military infrastructure base. very close to here. we were not allowed to fill there, but this, this factory was repair. this repair work shop was, was hit last night and we understand speaking to residents in the area, they heard

a very large explosion. around 6 a. m. when we arrived, we saw smoke rising from the plant and you could see over the walls. but there was also, you can imagine quite a heavy military presence. now, this is the 2nd strike by the russians in 2 consecutive nights. the russian defense ministry put out a statement, sir. mm. that was reported by the rush. news agency tass saying that's a long range missiles had been used as a hitler's facility, as well as hits. what they describe is repair shops in the south western city of nikolai, i have also overnight. what these strikes basically highlight is that despite the fact that russian forces withdrew from these areas around cave more than 2 weeks ago, the capital city is still vulnerable to attacks from russian forces by

the russian ministry of defense. as this destroy building was a ukrainian weapons factory in the southwest outskirts of the capital. give. moscow says the plant made anti aircraft an anti ship missiles. people living nearby, say they heard at least 3 large explosions. early friday morning was lowville, i must say, annoy apology lest actually parked the car, and the 2 rockets had at 1 am. i did not realize that there are 2 rockets coming in, but when i went out afterwards, i waited endorsed for some time, fearing mostly we saw the 3rd one coming damage. the car toward the tires had the windows and was people suffered to the walls, fell out. apologize. the attack came hours after russia said it's black sea fleet flank ship the mosque bar at sunk while being towed back to port after a fire caused an explosion on board. ukrainian military said it was responsible having targeted the vessel with ukrainian made neptune missiles. people gathered at

a memorial ceremony for the ship in the port city of sebastopol in russian annexed crimea. the most gra was the largest russian naval vessel to have sunk in action since world war 2 muscular dental plan. any more than that, even for those who have not been reimbursed, moscow was a symbol for everyone action. i give them all of our power. i hope you know the revival of the fleet in the 19. well, it is the symbol of engineering and scientific achievement. all comes to the force of our arms. ne ukrainian army says it repelled russian army advances on at least 2 towns in the east of the country. russia has re directed its forces from cave, in an effort to seize more territory in the dumbass region. a volunteers help ukrainian soldiers pack food to be distributed to some of the many thousands of people fleeing. although still living in the worst affected areas. i stay here because it's my home. and so we felt people delivering food chemistry

in our town. just throwing her voicemail good. i don't know what to say. i want to move this drone foot. it shows destroyed residential buildings in mary opal. the besieged port city on the as off see his suffered 7 weeks upon barbara by russian forces and pro russian separatists repeated attempts at securing humanitarian corridors. to rescue thousands of people trapped inside have failed. the mayor of the city estimates thousands of civilians may have been killed in the fighting ukraine's ministry of defense as russia has for the 1st time used long range bombers to attack the city. wanting to bring a steady, rushing occupants keep carrying out aerial strike. so mary, awful, they use long range bombers. the enemy's land forces are trying to capture the

seaport. the strike on what the russian defense ministry describes as a weapons factory on the outskirts of kia is the 1st major strike by russian forces on a target around the capital city. since russian forces left the area more than 2 weeks ago, major military operations now for the time being have moved east, where there are increasing reports of an effort by the russian military to closing around the strategically important city of slip yancey. the un says that more than 4700000 people have flayed the fighting and with no indication of any de escalation. that number is expected to rise. char stratford, i'll just 0, give pressures in south africa, continue to search for survivors. in the aftermath of the worst flooding for 6 decades authorities, a very emergency funds to help tens of thousands of people left without food or shelter. in the 400 people have been killed,

doesn't more have been injured or pharma millers in durban forest. more pictures we're seeing of the devastation, but obviously also the struggle that people are having to try and find food and water. whoa. aside from the ongoing rain, which is hampering some of the recovery efforts and even the rebuilding people continue to be cut off from electricity and water, especially in areas like this. and what they've done now is they've been forced to use a 1st water pipe to get water. you see people having to climb up and down the steep slope to the water pipe, collected in buckets and returned to their homes. we spoke to some people who said that to walk up to 7 or 8 kilometer, sometimes several times a day to get water. it's the only access to water and amenities that they need. and that's what very much of the complaint is. all the complaints from people,

especially in informal settlements, we already living conditions are difficult, that they haven't had a, an adequate response from the government's response to the damage to infrastructure . 6 the difficulty that they're living in and some of the recovery efforts there. so people missing and on and, and to add to that, they say that the government hasn't done enough to assist them till this point. and that's 5 days after the most of the devastation of the floods occurred. thank you very much. indeed. formative miller and urban rescue teams in the philippines are searching for people missing after tropical storm. maggie struck the islands, heavy rainfall triggered landslides, but devastated eastern and southern coastal areas. more than a 160 people have been killed and at least a 110. i'm missing jamil. alan dorgan saying one of the hardest hitting of years in nature province. we are in the town of buddha, the scene of another devastation brought about by typhoon maggie. this sound is

year church is the oldest most important religious site in eastern europe. it's a unesco heritage site and it's easy to see why was on the whims of santana shows this of his casa bora, that that is, we are located now in the central part of st. sophia cathedral, a 1000 year old monument, which was built in $1011.00, is not as busy. it is a symbol of our state in store. it is both ukraine's and the world's heritage. there are many authentic, 11th century frescoes, and was it preserved here that there is not such a large number of preserved mosaics anywhere else in eastern europe with those. when was a pollution here in front of the 6 meter mazique image of mother or anti made out of millions of small pieces of small only of a $150.00 shades of different colors. really above me is an image of christ panto crater, surrounded by angels hollow, the main treasure of sophia,

or the authentic 1000 year old only frescoes and mosaic. it's impossible to take them down from the wall to put them in boxes and place in some bomb shelters to day well, same as 1000 years ago. these mosaics are on the walls and they are priceless. maintaining these valuable frescoes in missouri acts as a year round task, but since the war began, work has sold to you. but one thing also stands out. unlike other important buildings, there's no defensive measures here to protect the compound, no sandbags or blast wrongs. the management of the church compound has declared it a demilitarized zone, spotswood navine. on the 1st day of the war, we had to close the museum. at the moment, all our museums are closed for visitors, and our monuments are conserved in the muzzle on the territory of the cathedral. there is no single military nor any weapons. there is only a small number of workers who maintain the facilities and official. there's

a saying in arabic trusting god, but have it your camel saints of is hoping that it status is one of the oldest most important historical sites in eastern europe will give it some protection. however, the church compound is surrounded by strategic sites, including key ministries. during the 2nd world war, it is said that german bombers avoided targeting the church but to day, not everyone shares the belief that if the capital is attacked again, its cultural heritage will be spared. so much so that this is now a common site statues, boarded up and hidden away among cart our desert. keith in serbia. thousands of protesters have rallied in support of russia's invasion of ukraine. the opposed the serbian government's vote to remove russia from the you and human rights cancel many times as skeptical about nato and believe the west provoked moscow into attacking ukraine. the distress stands from the 1999 nato bombing of serbia enforced president. lawton milosevic to withdraw troops from kosovo. russia's band,

leadership. you know, we have civil wars in many places of the country. we should not be happy while others are in trouble. thus, while we are showing our solidarity with them for many and me and my, it's not a happy start to their new year after yet another 12 months spent under military rule. another 365 days living in the shadows. this woman is too scared to show her face unity. how do you know if we don't have the chance to enjoy the festival, like those in neighboring countries? but we are in the middle of a revolution and people are joining in. we are proud of that. there are no longer daily protests in me, emma, which began when the military seized power in february, last year. a subsequent brutal crackdown against the demonstrators means more often . now, resistance is shown by their absence monitoring group,

se security forces have killed hundreds of people and raised entire villages. determined to suppress any form of descent. several 1000 people fled into neighboring countries. about 200000. others are displaced in leanne matter years into the soul. austin, yellow people, how they have been really utilize if the away is still going on by the owner, which they had them once for this web browser. so, this guy wrote trauma was a long way. the military did organize some celebrations, but few attended security was tight and the mood reported to be tense. local people believe this is a cleansing ritual, and the water washes away bad luck and changes behavior. those who stand against

the military and hoping to see it does indeed bring change and peace. alixia brian al jazeera we while in india and mr. kashmir, sophie, muslims of let torches to celebrate the local near year. oh, yeah. the ceremony took place outside as coin dedicated to susan st. the center is all tradition known as the saw festival marks the start of spring farming operations. a senior u. s. politicians warned china must pay a price for supporting rushes, invasion of ukraine. senator lindsey graham made the comments in taiwan during a meeting with president sy in one graham said neither tie one nor the u. s. wants conflict with china that claims the island as if territory. here's my promise to you in the tire. when these people were going to start making china pay a greater price for what they're doing all over the world. with taiwan producing 9

deep percent of the world's high end semiconductor products. it is a country of global significance of global consequence of global impact. and therefore, it should be understood that the security of taiwan has a global impact for those who would wish an ill on china's accusing the u. s. of inflaming tension and says it's going down a dangerous path by sending politicians to taiwan made. i shall goal in the united states and taiwan are colluding with each other. and some people deliberately compare taiwan in ukraine to very different issues in an attempt to confuse the public and take advantage of the chaos. and joseph, this behavior of playing with fire is aimed at changing the current status quo of the cross straight relations. changing 3 chinese astronaut. it's a back on earth out a record breaking 6 month mission to china's newest space station. as it's excluded

from the international space station, china's going it along with a multi $1000000000.00 space program or a burden. manley has more loyal know, top down in north china's in among julianne 3. taken out. that's chinese astronauts are on solid ground up to 6 month in space. 30 pulled out to the cap. phil mission, commander jayson gong guy here. she's was yet. we sank president. she's paying for his concern and care. we thank the people for the support and encouragement will not judge for he was followed by colleagues. one yeah, ping and yeah, going from the shunt jo. 13 mission recorded a few 1st for china. one became the 1st chinese woman to complete a space walk told and was china's longest crude mission ah station with wounds from geo kwan satellite launch center in the gobi desert in mid october. hours later it

talked with china's unfinished orbital space station t and gone. there the astronauts got to work carrying out experiments. i'm preparing for the construction of new staff modules and delivering science lectures that includes answering questions 2015 students back on her. so what's next for beijing? while china has put billions of dollars into space programs, it hopes to send humans to the moon by 2029 and build a base them paula. but for now, the take not trio, have wrapped up their mission and will no doubt be spending time adjusting to gravity. here on earth. lore about manly, on to sera ok. let's bring in space journals, leo, and right. he's going to be talking to us from dublin and i am real good a happy with us on our al jazeera. putting people to the space is great for p r. it's great for scientific research and discovery, but china space program is of course,

run by the military. what are the implications of that longer term? well, certainly there's no question, but a space has a military dimension at all the great space superpowers. and indeed some of these smaller european players and people such as israel at sea space as an important military asset. and but b as a tacky on all to return that last night. the p or element of that i think, was very striking at the television coverage was really extraordinary. and that was a political statement as saying that china has the confidence in its technology to show it to the world in real time. in terms of the military implications, how would china and, and fight any other country? that's good. that's mounting its own space program. leverage what aids doing, what it's achieving. now in terms of you say that in terms of the public publicity side of this and the research side of this, how does it leverage that into some sort of military advantage in space?

well, war fighting as the experts call it requires space assets nowadays. that's where the lingo that the military planners use it. in other words, basically as the soldier on the ground in a modern army couldn't really operate without military satellites in orbit providing with information and with communications back to base. so that space is now an intrinsic part of every war, unfortunately, and for that reason, there's a growing recognition that sooner or later at we are going to see more is spilling over into space with potentially the disabling our destruction of enemy satellites. how easy is it to do that we're talking about. we all know the stories that of course space is very crowded. we've seen that the,

the graphics with so many so many different items. thousands, hundreds of thousands of items, perhaps circling the globe. but these are moving at tremendous speeds. they are incredibly small. we're talking if you were to try and hit a military satellite in order to be able to disable it. how easy is it that to do i, how would you actually do it? well the super powers, all 3 of them have demonstrated this as the chinese, the russians, and the americans that have successfully destroyed satellites in orbit using what they called kinetic kil, mechanisms that is a they, they just corrections to the enemy satellite, in the cases of that we've seen these have just been tests using our own satellite, but they crash into the satellite and very high speed, no chance of surviving. there are other ways of disabling satellites low and one of the most interesting is laser b. they can use laser beams to blind spy satellites, which are

a major asset for war war fighting hours. the u. s. formed what they call the, the, the space for us under the trump administration. at that time, there was a certain amount of, of levity about that because it sounded like science fiction. but it sounds as though from what you're saying that actually this is a very legitimate thing. and clearly this is something that governments across the world are going to be doing. yes, it's always very interesting when presidency change and to see what changes with the new president. and one of the things that most certainly hasn't changed. if the american military is focused on space and the americans are very worried now about the potential for somebody, for instance, they have huge satellites in what we call geosynchronous orbit, very far away from the earth. the chinese recently demonstrated an ability to fly out to that's that area of space and to move between satellites. and if you can do

bath, you can start interfering with other people, satellites. i'm. that's the sort of thing. all the space powers are very concerned about really interesting to have your views in this leo, and right. as always, thank you very much. indeed for being with us on al jazeera, twitter has adopted a so called poison pill plan to fight an attempt by 1000000000 ellen musk to take it over. the board says that if mosque requires more than 15 percent of the firm stock, it'll flood the market with shares and that would make a buyout much more difficult. jim understands the social media and technology expert and he says, mosque as force twitter executives into taking action. it's a very uncomfortable position when the world's richest man says he doesn't have confidence in the management team at the ceo. specifically. that's probably a pretty uncomfortable position for the ceo to, to be and, but he's, i think done a nice job, at least in his messaging to twitter employee saying, look, there are a lot of distractions. but our day to day job hasn't changed. we have customers,

we have a product, we need to keep doing what we're doing and it's that's easier said than done of for sure. but ultimately, you know, this is a little bit of a side show. it's an enormously consequential sideshow, depending on how it turns out, or it could just turn out to be nothing. and you know, one thing we have definitely seen about eli vasquez. he loves the spotlight and he's shown an ability to effectively hijacked the new cycle by doing these things, making these tweets, making these offers. and i think he very much enjoyed being the provoke a tour in that regard and, and twitter is not defenceless, but they're, they're certainly at the mercy of whatever eli mosque is going to do. they're going to have to react. so it had an al jazeera economic opportunity or environmental disaster. we looked at the democratic republic of congo is plans to drill in some of its most sensitive ecosystems on the mystery at north honda. we'll tell you about the 14th century relic discovered deep underneath the destroyed cathedral and the vatican's clench the final western conference playoff spot. peter is going to

show you how they did it in the sport. ah, it was a warm day yesterday, most to western europe, blunder wood up to 23 degrees. typically we took the 8 degrees above average because it's a bit of a gentle suddenly breeze around this city and t, sorry, it's not true of eastern new york. it's happening here that we had a bit further science. one of the reasons this change is a circulation in north africa. so you've got lovely weather in spain and portugal, france an increasing wind shows in malta sicily down to tennessee, a strong enough wind coming out of the creation interior to give warnings of dangerous conditions on the croatian coast and temperatures are coming down in for example, poland remedy,

blue crest is gone down by 15 degrees between saturday and sunday, and this is all potentially wintry stuff. but the snow in bulgaria, northern greece and rain. so big contrast was happening further west. because i said this rather major low. this cyclic area of low pressure in libya's produce so pretty hot weather. we're up into the forty's middle forties in libya that's going to head towards carver and get to sunday. but it's full of dust, big swirling storm. the showers in west africa are going away long way north, even into northern target. ah, or china in the u. s. sleep walking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine. here is the test for president joe biden. what program is really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in europe. it's your personal united states. you, sir, if you go to walking through gum at the same time, your weekly pay on us politics and society,

that's the bottom line. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wow. so no matter how you take it will play you the news and current affairs that mattel to years anti fascist anti establishment and pro vomiting. despite the recent official disbanding of its militarized wing, a basque separatist movement is found alive and well on the terraces of a build bow stadia. a place where political revolution rates share a platform in ideology with violet to football, hooligan. read all debt on al jazeera lou. ah,

watch out. is it a reminder? what told stories this are police in ukraine say the bodies of more than $900.00 civilians have been found in areas surrounding the capital. keith, $350.00 of them were discovered in the town of boucher alone. please say money work simply executed as russian forces withdrew. rescue teams in the philippines are searching for people missing after tropical storm maggie, who struck the island, is more than a 160 people have been killed and at least a 110 a missing and reins falling again. and parts of south africa still cleaning up from the worst flooding in 60 years. rescue as a continuum. the search for survivors authorities have released emergency funds to help tens of thousands of people left without shelter. okay, let's go back to the story about the war in ukraine military. experts estimate that russia has lost nearly 3000 pieces of equipment and the conflict, as i saw, said, a reports from keith. my losses are being blamed on russian tactical

miscalculations and advanced weapons supplied by nato countries. tanks, helicopters, personnel carriers, tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment all destroyed. and these are just a small portion of the losses suffered by one of the most powerful armies in the world. when russia began is offensive, it hope to capture your brains capital, keep within days. but you bring his army wrist to the assault. evidently, the russian, all b. s. and genic problems with moral, with its equipment, with its training on his doctrine. and as a result, was soon to answer your question directly. russia has been defeated in the field to a point where it was effectively routed from the north of the country. you bring in our forces have taken advantage off an ambush of russian troops and columns. in

less than 2 months since russia invaded ukraine. it's military, he has lost powers of soldiers, according to ukrainian officials. it's more than the united states did in his 20 years of work in afghanistan, and nearly a decade in iraq combined. they say russia has lost at least 479 tanks, 496 infant and fighting vehicles. 28 crafts for shapes. 32 helicopters, 784 tracks, vehicles and jeeps. in total, the russians have lost nearly $3000.00 pieces of equipment and is all considered conservative estimates. the highest profile, los to date was the mosque was the flagship of russia's black sea fleet, losing a plant shibley's enduring a war is well really bad. it said that p r, it's bad. it's going to expect band increase of the morale of

the ukrainians at the time when they are on the verge of losing her, mary, who both, when many things can be said to have gone wrong for russians. general valerie says the grain and on forces had a secret weapon. no, it may be the you are not only brought him yet my shore, the mobilization of our society and people's resistance. a pilots who are older than 60 years old, come out and ask for jets. they retired from the armed forces a long time ago and asked, give us planes and we will destroy the russians. so moral is our formula for success. opinion forces have employed new technical weapons given to ukraine by nato allies. chief among them are portable anti tank guided missile systems, such as the u. s. me javelin, and his lighter cheaper cousin and lo, which have been used against russian tanks with their state in effect in the, in the turkish me to be to by dr. thrones have carried out both reconnaissance and

strike operations portable stingray anti aircraft. missiles have also enabled you cleaning soldiers to take out low flying aircraft. as technical miscalculations, misjudgment of ukrainian resistance and low morale have all contributed to russia military vulnerability in this war. these weapons are leveling the playing field. rezo said that al jazeera cave, despite new as president joe biden's promise to welcome up 280-0000 ukranian refugees. only 12 have arrived using the official program, thousands of others, and managed to enter by crossing the border from mexico. i know rabo visited a camp in tijuana, oh ukrainian refugees being welcomed at this shelter in tiquana. olga arrived just this morning after travelling more than 9000 kilometers with her cat snips. she's now being looked after by ukrainian american volunteers who have

assigned her a number. the number represents a spot in line to plead her case for refugee status to us authorities. she tells us the whole experience feels surreal. you feel happiness and then you have another wave of emotions like you're sad, you're reading all the time. you. so it's, it's totally different reality right now. and it's hard to, to get to the point when you fill that happiness as you used to feel before. so it will take awhile, of course many here have been traveling for weeks. they arrived tired, hungry and confused. most don't speak spanish or english, and are relying entirely on help from volunteers. first of all, they all nervous because lots of, of them dinner about in mexico. they know that the quantities ventures place so

that when they come into the airport, little bit nervous. if we try to keep telling them and build and relax, where will we will help you, how we get, we will help you. there are also dozens of families here with young children. 6 that they spend much of their time listening carefully in peace. their numbers are called though many seem eager to cross the border into the united states. others tell us what they want is to go home. i'm fell very tired. of course. i hope that soon i will come to your crane. i'm not going to stay in the usa for long. i hope that's in tom, or i can come back to my country to my family, to my mazda rogers and all of the class here more than 7 sounds and gradients have arrived in p one. and since the start of the war in february, since mexico has not imposed any restrictions on ukrainian travelers,

it's really a basis in, well, i think, you know, this recent announcement obviously is being driven by his situation in russia. and you are finding quickly, just on that, on that point, you know, your policy makers are in clay, they can replace oil in the near term. it's just not simply possible. and also, if they try to send prices of these commodities into all of their own economies, and they'll be regime change a change in moscow. so, you know, obviously the oil concessions come off the back. all the question that we're seeing in europe. and i think the company a reasonable amount of shop is a, at this moment in time with the question is

about environment with the, with a whole. the question is, you know, how will the companies this, in terms of it being a huge population, more than 100000000 a difference in really well being of the average companies individual compared to what, when you say that you were talking about with the policies of also now am in brazil, do you think that the d r c. government a has a did enough of a different attitude to be able to, to maintain some sort of balance between the ecology, ecological impact of something like this. and the economic necessity as it would

a well being economic prosperity of the country. i think you'll come on in tremendous pressure from the lighting rebates and others. but at the end of the day, yes, to make a decision on the basis of the national interest there, off on governments, the plan is about $500000000.00 in order to support m d r c's reinforcing the protection of that i'm. is there a likelihood that might be some, the backlash in the event that this, this exploration goes ahead? can we see that money being withdrawn? i think, you know, when it's interesting, i can look at a environment, a money order to that area. but you know, the die looming in the other direction. the red line is that there is a tremendous need or resources on the cast, and they celebrated by the situation and they'll be some backlash. home is 2

important to just how i mean if you look in the blue a soco forest already well be willing to, to the future. and i think that people will see some kind of accommodation a, but i think compromise will be really good to get the benefit of your expertise in this and a kind of such a we appreciate your time. so thank you very much indeed. thank you. one of the biggest car shows in america has returned after a 2 year absence because of the pandemic. and you don't have to look too hard to see a shift to electric vehicles. all those under reports from new york. much of this year's new york international auto show has been taken over by electric vehicles or
