and just tell us what's happening east and places like car key, for example, because that reports that car key was hit by artillery. that's right, yeah. there have been strikes on the call. cave concave is ukraine's the 2nd largest city that has been under siege since the get go since the beginning of this invasion, we understand at least one person killed and 18 other injured in either artillery or missile strikes on a residential area. it was only yesterday that at least 10 other people were killed in a similar strike. this city of huge shoot, symbolic in poems, one on the stands for the russians. it is largely russian speaking. and it is pretty much surrounded. i'm the only access in and out of the city from the south west. we know that there are hundreds of thousands of people still inside the city . i visited it a months ago and went into underground shelters at the metro station. for example,

being used people living in pretty terrifying conditions in those bunkers. and as you, as, as we say, they are daily daily attacks happening on car kids. and we understand it as, as a, is, is as a result of a push by russian forces form areas around car cave heading south trying to take great to control of moral territory in those eastern regions and ganske and don't answer this offensive that analysts have been speaking about for a couple of weeks now, as russia concentrates as its forces in those eastern regions. thank you very much . charles. hartford reporting from keith, former ukrainian president. petra bar shanker. has spoken to al jazeera in key even . he is calling on the international community to give more weapons to ukraine. and that's why, from the national community when he 3 thinks labrenz weapons. and once

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 and that they had to stay in the master commendation follower sachi 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 with a family kits, they have to go to school so or integrate them into school learning the language and learning though and drama they off on the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now, that experience has etched itself on to the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy in the way a bonus the guild, 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 a 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. whereas most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better that might in parts be because the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. dominant came al, jazeera berlin is really police have released more than 400 palestinians who are detained during friday. prayers, little ok saw mosque. 30 remaining custody around

laptops, and even medication or chilly is the world's 2nd largest producer and a hot spot for international mining companies. looking to caution on the lithium rush, but as our line america added to last year, newman reports indigenous communities say mining threatens the way they live. can the lady a cardoso lives on an oasis? one of the few places in the, at that camera desert, the world's driest, where you can grow something like this. think of is your soda. look at this beautiful beetroot. d. got some bindles as delicious. they super sweet. can also is acoya art of an indigenous community that lived in this arid region for centuries of 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 conga 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 jacks, if you would impact all of the nature that we have here today, which exists in more than 6000 hector's. we would lose more than we would gain between india. if you look, the community says war lithium mines will defeat the little water. they have e, your 2nd elite lewalma that if they 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 multinationals, so that the profit stay at home. many argue that chile should also expand to producing lithium batteries for everything from mobile phones to electric cars, which is with a real money is that, but former deputy mining minister and got blanca warns it's not feasible. important becker than the, the lithium batteries contained 8 percent lithium and truly would have to import the remaining 92 percent of materials. so 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 medi whom that chile, the us government is resuming the sale of leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land. it's also increasing the royalties collected from energy companies by 50 percent. the change follows mounting pressure on president joe biden to reduce energy prices. it's a reverse or if an election campaign pledge not to allow more drilling on government own land. plans to drill for oil in a democratic republic of congo are alarming environmental groups, government leaders, and approve the auction of 16 blocks of land for oil exploration. 9 of them are in the sensitive ecosystem of corvettes and troll in the congo river basin. it's the world's 2nd largest force that area after the amazon greenpeace africa describing congos plan is a historic error that must be scrapped last year as comp $26.00 climate conference in glasgow. donor countries pledged $500000000.00 to protect congo these rain

forests are the counts out. she was an emerging markets economist. he says, a compromise needs to be found between oil and the environment and the rain forest area of the democratic republic of congo. this is right for these all these oil concessions. oh, the back, all the pressure europe. and i think the concrete a reasonable amount of shock business. now spike woods. he thought at this moment in time, we all know what the question is about the environment with basically that the importance of the lease has only grown the whole. the question is, you know how with this, you know, the dive is moving in the other direction. what people realize that there is,

there is a tremendous need or not resources, or they celebrated by the situation ukraine, and they'll be some backlash. but congress to important to just out on me. i mean, if you look in the scheme of the congo river, a forest already well be well into the future and i think people will seek some kind of accommodation a . but i think those compromise will be found. the french precedence is campaigning and must say ahead of next week's election run off in manual micros hoping to win over the left wing voters who bank john malone shown in the 1st round in the tight race for the presidency. micron has rightly rival marine the pen face off in 8 days . ah, there was
