the now the book you complete the, the world cup package today. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, you're watching the news. our live from a headquarters in del himes. eddie nowadays are coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia says it's carried out airstrikes targeting ukrainian military facilities in the cave region for a 2nd day. the u. s. is to resume oil and gas drilling on federal lands, us pressure mountains to bring down high gas prices. it may not look like much, but underneath these salt, flat lies nicea, which is at the center of a conflict over who should own one of the sources of the biggest wealth in this country desperate for drinking water, we visit a flood,

have town in south africa where people have resorted to queuing at a boost pipe. in sports frightened strike late to beat totland in the premier league and it said vantage. liverpool, they lead manchester city in the english and i think up semi find that wembley welcome to the news our we begin in ukraine. that's where for the 2nd night, russia has launched air strikes on military targets near keith this time hitting a tank repair facility. that's as bodies continue to be discovered, an area surrounding the capitol. police say the corpses of more than $900.00 civilians have been found since russian forces withdrew. russia says it's taken full control of one of the last remaining ukrainian outposts in mary jo pulled for it, showing damage as well as bodies around the site. and the u. k. prime minister won't be heading to moscow time soon. the kremlin band, boars, johnson,

and other top officials from entering the country. this is in response to british british sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine. less bringing charles stratford right away. he's joining us on the ukrainian capital key to tell us 1st about the, the grim discoveries, charles, in places from which the russians have withdrawn. what more do we know? that's right. some horrific statistics sir. being announced by ukraine in authority to the last 24 hours, as you mentioned, more than $900.00 bodies discovered in so the ukrainian authority say around a $180.00 locations in areas that the russian military controlled up until just a little over 2 weeks ago. when those russian forces am left those areas and we believe headed east be credit was already saying that there's a lot of evidence to suggest that the majority of these people may have been shot

at close range. of course, what we also know is that there is increasing pressure being put on the international community by the ukrainians and their west and backers to try and get some sort of answers to hold the russian, the russian military accountable for what they say are war crimes alleging the russians have committed war crimes in these areas. we also know though, however, how difficult it is to set up some form of investigation and an eventual trial. certainly the investigations, according to legal experts that we speak to here, could be problematic for the mere fact that there is a war still going on. and there are concerns, for example, of evidence of war crimes being lost. for example, mind clearance efforts in some of these areas that were occupied by russian forces up until more than 2 weeks ago. then there are questions and challenges with

respect to and where a trial would be held to what, what organization, what international body, sorry, would be able to hold a trial the i, c. c. the international criminal court is an organization that neither ukraine nor russia are signatories. they're not members of that organisation. some legal analysts saying, well, what about the united nations some sort of trial, to be held by the united name. but of course, russia has veto power at the un security council, so it is pretty inconceivable that they would agree to participate potentially on anything set up by the us. and of course, russia denies any responsibility for the deaths of these civilians calling it a provocation. another provocation by ukraine and its western backers. but as i say, despite these bodies having been found, i'm these allegations being made by the ukrainians. there are huge challenges saving at this stage, almost unsurmountable challenges for any eminent,

at least the investigation and subsequent trial. right. and you've been to the site to a recent strike on key. what did you see? yes, we were this morning, went down to this weapons factory or is a tank repair factory to be precise? this was the 2nd consecutive night that there had been a strike on a weapons facility inside. ready cave and these are the 1st major strikes since the russians left areas of kevin say more than 2 weeks ago. we found a plant there that was basically sealed off by the authorities. nobody could get inside it. there was smoke rising from inside the plant. there was no evidence of any civilian infrastructure around it, residential areas having been damaged. it's important to recognize that as was the case in yesterday's strike at another weapons facility. these areas are surrounded by where areas where people live and it was

a couple of hours into the morning when the ukrainian man of italy, which co announced that one person had been killed in a number of others injured in last night's strike. he was unclear on, known as to whether this person was a civilian or somebody in the military. but of course, it highlights just how vulnerable the capital still is to being hit by russian missiles. and these strikes come only a couple of days after a warning by the russian ministry of defense accusing the ukrainians of, of attacking targets in side russia. the ukrainians have not commented on these kinds of allegations. and there's no way of confirming whether they will, whether they actually happened, but russia saying that we're continue to attack targets in the capital city. a command senses and weapons facility if these attacks of ukraine is that they

alleged the cravings, are committing continue. but as i say, despite having been quite for the last couple of weeks, these precision attacks, certainly they have been very precise by the russians are great concern for so that for, for the millions of people still living in the capital. thank you so much. trust. hartford reporting from keith, ukraine's president valez emma zalinski once more weapons from his allies to and the war. and he also wants increased sanctions applied to moscow. generally, some keenly bucket under his group. the next package of sanctions against russia must include a russian oil band. in general, the democratic world must accept that russia's money, the energy resources is in fact money for the destruction of democracy. when these decisions are made, we will all be able to see piece coming with a former ukranian president. petra per shanker, has spoken to al jazeera and keith, and he's calling on the international community to give more weapons to ukraine.

and that's why, from the national community we need 3 things. labrenz weapons. and once again, weapons reference number one. this is just a rough as necessary for your grain for game changer. renewed just 300 banks, 1000 on personal carrier, and 100 fighter. and this has completely changed the whole character of the war for amber to renewed the sanction and embargo and that ab re, quote, can play here very important role by increasing the oil production than to replace the absence of the russian oil on the road. well, market in serbia, thousands have rallied in support of russia's invasion of ukraine. they oppose the serbian government vote. to remove russia from the un human rights council. many serbs are skeptical of nato and believe the west to provoke moscow into attacking

ukraine. the distress stems from the 1999 nato bombing off serbia. that forest president slumbered on milosevic to withdraw troops from kosovo. well, more than for 300000 ukrainians have arrived in germany since the war began. and for many, it's a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis a time when berlin was criticized for not doing enough. but as dominic cane reports its hoped lessons have been learned. and the process goes more smoothly. this time . tuesday morning and stieglitz and follow reesa and her children. it's time for breakfast as ukrainian refugees. they're currently living with a host family. the transition from walls own to berlin suburb was initially hard, but already her children are learning german and larissa says she feels this country has been very welcoming and knowing it's completed for dylan palmer, the government has been very supportive. they've given us money health insurance.

they've helped us a lot. we don't feel like refugees. we have the same rights as germans. it's helped to make us feel like we have a 2nd home here in the nearly 2 months since the war began. many millions of people have fled ukraine. fewer than one in 10 of them has come to germany, making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting of trains in the big cities were mostly syrian. although the then german government said it could cope with their arrival, there were many problems. once they arrived, the 1st thing was, or that they had to stay in master commendation, follow, researching in the reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found on the, on the bell and housing. so that was a huge challenge. and the 2nd is when they come for family kits, they have to go to school. so we're integrating them into school learning the language and learning though and drama. they offer the school system. although the

situation for refugees here is better now. that experience is etched itself on to the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy in the way a bonus legality. and at least the new government has offered support on a large scale to the federal states. this has allowed us to give refugees better opportunities for integration. this is a clear message. we're doing it better, we're doing it differently. and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor. there is another important difference between then and now ukrainians have the right to visa free travel across much of the e. u. syrians do not, which helps to explain why most of the ukrainian refugees in europe have not come to germany. where as most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better that might in part be because the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. dominant came al jazeera,

berlin, donations off aid from europe, are flooding into the ukrainian city of la vive the cities. art palace used to host events and exhibitions. now it's the headquarters for a dozens of volunteers, the racing to deliver emergency food and supplies to other cities. our center fans, humanitarian, her assistant, still people living in the eastern part of ukrainian on the north, on the territories of our active hostilities are taking place. also our headquarters sir, sends him in terran 8 to our military who are fighting against against russian aggression. and we are one of the centers in the dead wife held to internally displaced persons who fled to levine from moroccans and ab bombing. one of the most important religious and cultural sites in ukraine has chosen

a novel approach to protect itself from attack by having no defense at all. around con reports from keith just a few steps when we traveled back in time, a 1000 years since of 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 ms on ms. lawrence absent alisha this of his casa laura said that we are located now in the central part of st. sophia cathedral got a 1000 year old monument, which was built in $1011.00 is not what it is, a symbol of our state. it is both ukraine's and the world's heritage, and there are many authentic, 11th century frescoes and mosaic reserved. here. there is not such a large number of preserved mosaics anywhere else in eastern europe with those. and

what happened to me from here in front of the 6 meter mosaic image of mother or ranta, made out of millions of small pieces of slowly of a 150 shades of different colors with me. above me is an image of christ. panto krauter, surrounded by angels hollow, the main treasure of sophia, or the authentic 1000 year old frescoes and moses. it's impossible to take them down from the wall to put them in boxes and place in some bomb shelters to day or same as 1000 years ago. these mosaics are on the walls and they are priceless, maintaining these valuable frescoes, m as i acts as a year round task. but since the war began work has stolen 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 rules. the management of the church compound has declared it a demilitarized zone, especially 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 to 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, it's cultural heritage will be sped. so much so that this is now a common sight, statues boarded up and hidden away among car elgin's or keith hunt him or head on the news are including economic opportunity or environmental disaster. we look at

funds to drill in some of africa, most sensitive ecosystem. oh i, we have an emotional for me to train countries, players appear in a team this and i 1st the u. s. government is resuming the sale of leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land. but washington is also increasing the royalties. it collects oil and gas companies will pay 18.7 percent royalty, and that's a 50 percent jump from the previous rates. the move comes as pressure continues to mount on president joe bite into lower gas prices. it also marks the reversal if a campaign pledge not to drill further on federal land. let's meet up here at raj and drawn who's the head of all markets, research and energy intelligence. he's joining us from new york. welcome to i'll

just 0. thank you so much for your time. so this is what president biden said back in february 2020 no more drilling on federal lands period period period. when you make this, you turn and why? no, yeah, no, i mean, that'd be deleting it perfectly. right. it's, you know, it's a function of the growing economic pressures higher oil prices, higher gas prices, higher natural gas prices for that matter. and the need to do something in an important midterm year. i mean, obviously, all of this has been exacerbated by, by the war and that is, you know, given another leg to this inflation that was already building before. so, you know, this is kind of a step to try to, you know, try to alleviate that, to some degree. i don't think it's going to be all that effective, but i'm messaging standpoint, they're, they're putting it out there. yeah. i mean, why do you say that it's not going to be effective? is he not going to succeed in trying to walk this, the fine line between trying to lower gas prices and trying to show that he's at

least still committed to fight climate change in some of the pledges that he's made? i mean, this is, i mean the bio ministration is going to put itself in, right, which is stuck between the rock and hard place of one hand, alleviating their short term economic pressures. on the other hand, pursuing the, the long term you colonization priorities. i think at the moment, you know, right now if it's a world a short on supply supply of energy and then really from an oil standpoint, the only only tool available if you are leaves with 40 seen, announced and that will help to kind of cap prices on the lease on the upside, but it's still going to be a very tight market for the short term. i mean, it's still going to be a lot of pressure on, on, on the high prices and pressure and consumers with high, you're not just gasoline prices, but, but diesel jeff fuel and other prices as well. and so, you know, this, the step on opening up drilling, we says this is again, maybe a step in the right direction. but remember, it's, you know,

it's 80 percent less landed. that was, that was initially evaluated. 50 percent higher royalty rates plus environmental and other, you know, sort of loopholes that are attached to it. so, you know, the likelihood of it, you know, actually, you know, getting a strong uptake is low. and again, it's not going to leave you short term supply pressure, right? ok for americans. let's talk about that short term supply and what impact it'll actually have on gas prices. because for americans, they're looking at the price at the pump. you know, we expect gasoline price this year, the pump too. you have a, you know, or dollar floor underneath them. you know, and now it's been helped to maybe stop some of the upward them, you know, but, but again, we worse we expect to see prices. well, over $100.00 over the next couple of months i'm, it's just a question of $100.00 and what, which we've got when prices will be, you know, somewhere in the low to mid 4 as we expected summer demand fix up. so, you know, maybe we're not going to run away, move to $5.00 gas prices but,

but still certainly pressure on consumers by the way it's pressure because, you know, the price of everything is high, you know, whether it's housing or, you know, or food or in or other products, there's inflation across the board rates and you touched upon this earlier on. but let's talk about environmentalists and climate change activists. will they be worried by this latest move because president bite and a lot of people say he has put forward ambitious climate change policies more so perhaps than any other presidents. yeah, that's right. i think this is, this is going to be because of the stock between the rock and hard place. i think this is already proving to be unfavorable with the time it activists and then those going to pushing for quicker d carpeted vision. you know, the fact that you know that way it earlier kind of going back on a campaign, pledge to, to not allow billing on, on, on federal land. i mean, obviously you're turning on that and so, you know,

it's going to make them unhappy. however, i think, i think the, the reality is that consumption is not following the, the ambitious pathways but forward. right. and so something has to be done to sort of alleviate this pressure because demand is strong in short term demand is, is continue to be going to continue to be robust and responding, which is why the short term is young. we need to do that. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. up here, read and drawn for speaking to us from new york. thanks for having me. so, lithium has become one of the most sought after minerals crucial for the transition to renewable energy and used in batteries, laptops and even medication. so chilly is the world's 2nd largest producer. it's become a hot spot for international mining companies looking to cash in on the lithium rush, but on the american gust salt flats. indigenous communities are saying that mining puts a local environment at risk. here's our latin america editor, marcia newman. can the lady a cardoso lives on an oasis,

one of the few places in the, at the camera desert, the world's driest, where you can grow something like this individual. so that look at this beautiful beetroot d got some bindles as delicious. they super sweet. can russell is acoya part of an indigenous community that's lived in this arid region for centuries. the water to make cheese from their go to milk. and for fruits and vegetables flows from the and these mountains, the same water that nourishes the nearby mighty conger salt flats. the hills behind me are rich in silver, gold, and especially copper chillies, number one, export. but it's what's underneath these salt flat lithium, that's become one of the world's most valuable minerals and is what chile is counting on for its future development. julie has one of the world's 3 largest

reserves of lithium and is 2nd only to australia in terms of total production. but late last year, when the previous government granted to new mining concessions to a chinese and a local consortium, an appeals court suspended the contract on behalf of the coin community of it. but he had oil afloat, phone exit. he would impact all of the nature that we have here today, which exists in more than $6000.00 hector's. we would lose more than we would gain between india. the community says war lithium mines will defeat the little. what are they hats, easier, your 2nd elite lowana mother. if i extract the lithium from the salt flats, everything will die. i. water will dry up because the water comes from the same place in. but that's not the only controversy till his new government wants to create a state own lithium company, rather than ward more contracts to multi nationals so that the profit stay at home . many argue that julie should also expand to producing lithium batteries for

everything from mobile phones to electric cars, which is where the real money is that we're but former deputy mining minister and got blank, a warns it's not feasible. it put it back in the deal with him. batteries contained 8 percent lithium and truly would have to import the remaining 92 percent of materials. it's simply not profitable. also, it takes 10 years for a lithium mine to start giving returns on investment. while it sets up a state lithium company, the new government must determine how many more if any concessions will be awarded to multi nationals. in the meantime, it promises to the interests of local indigenous communities. first, a tough choice in times of economic hardship. you see in human medical that chile plans to drill for oil in the democratic republic of congo are alarming environmental groups. government leaders of approve the auction of 16 blocks of land for oral exploration. 9 of them are in the sensitive ecosystem of corvette

tech centers. all a that's in the congo river, beth, and it's the world's 2nd largest forest area. after the amazon greenpeace africa describing congos plan as a historic error that must be scrapped at last year as comp $26.00 climate conference in glasgow, donor countries pledged $500000000.00 to protect conga leaves, rain forests. ali khan thought she was an emerging markets economist. he says, a compromise needs to be found between oil and the environments and brain forest area of the democratic republic of congo. this right for the concessions. how off the back, all the pressure with a reasonable amount of sharp business. now by putting these are at this point in time, we all know what the question is about the environment with the,

with a whole. the question is, you know, how with this, you know, the diet is moving in the other direction. you realize that there is, there is a tremendous need or not resources. oil gas accelerated by the situation ukraine and they'll be some backlash. but congress, too important to just call on me. i mean, if you look in the scheme of the blue, a soco force already, well be well into the future. and i think people will seek some kind of accommodation a. but at the same time, we saw it, but i think it does. some compromise will be found. emergency services are working

off the coast. it's an easier to contain a potential environmental disaster. after a tanker it sank, the zillow carrying $750.00 tons of diesel from egypt to malta went down. after seeking shelter because of bad weather, they 7 man crew was rescued. the tennessee government said the sunken ship situation is alarming. is really police have released more than 400 palestinians detained during friday prayer, as it ok saw mosque 30 remain in custody around a 150 others were injured. when is really police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at worshippers. neighboring jordan, the custodian of the holy site and occupied east jerusalem condemns the raid as a flagrant violation. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, a subdued new year. why many don't feel like celebrating on the streets of me and mar, driving into the future will tell you why electric cars are stealing the spotlights

at the new york auto show. in the n b a, the pelicans clench the final playoff spot in the western conference. ah, it's commonly thought the middle east is hot and to be honest, most the time it is, even when you drive plays through with dust. and the wind comes down from the north, it could still be considered hot. for example, the forecast for sunday still gives you. so she served in the hardest part, the wind and $33.00 in baghdad. this paul of orange, behind those, a storm that's current. if libya is moving through egypt, i think it will throw pretty nasty weather, possibly sandstorms, and much higher temperatures up through egypt and towards live. and then just look at jerusalem at 30 and baby to 28. this is on sunday, and on monday we hit 35. guess what the record high temperature is just for

jerusalem. 35.3. so we are went up there. well above the average isn't gonna last a day. let me give you the full cost for a man capital of jordan. this is monday's picture. 35 here. the record for amount is $37.00, so you probably won't hit it the right then $23.00 or even 20 as when. so she's round to the northwest and things clear up, standard changes in south africa. the problem has been the opposite. really the amount of rain. and it still writing was warnings lasting through sunday into monday. the closet natal, the still rain falling on sunday, but the concentration is moving eastwards, may well become a temporary problem in southern mozambique. come monday, ah, a,

a mainstream coverage of big stories can sometimes deliver more heat than light. any water scenario, there's always to simplify their lives. nuance is always called for, even in the case of an aggressive war, the listening page, delve into the news, narrative and dissect them. there is not our great deal of subtlety. we're talking about the barbaric and that is unfolding as though we somehow unique. it's not unique covering the way the news is covered. on al jazeera lou.

about the worsening weather conditions, but for now the rain seems to be limited to a drizzle in many parts of the provinces. and people continue to try and mop. but they continues to be situations like this where there's limited access to utilities, necessity and people are complaining that the government hasn't done enough to help people in situations like this. despite promises from the government that they're doing everything they can to help the people affected. a boat carrying migrants has capsized off the coast of libya, droning up to $35.00 on board, the united nations migration agencies. 6 bodies were pulled from the sea on friday . 29 others are missing, presumed dead. the western city of subject. ha! sure lincolns are now suffering fuel rationing. as the economic races worsens, car drivers are limited to 20 leaders to petrol stations. while motorcyclists can
