that has been on the siege since the get go. since the beginning of this invasion, we understand at least one person killed and 18 the 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. ready symbolic poems, one on the stands for the russians, it is largely russian speaking. and it is pretty much surrounded. 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. the metro station, for example, being used people living in pretty terrifying conditions in those bunkers and our daily attacks happening on car cave. and we understand that it is as a result of

a push by russian forces form areas around car cave heading south trying to take greater control of the more territory in those eastern regions in lou ganske and don at sc this offensive, that analysts have been speaking about for a couple of weeks now, as russia concentrated its forces in those eastern regions more than 300000 ukrainians have arrived in germany since the war began. for many, it's a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis. the time when berlin was criticized for not doing enough, but as dominant came reports to hope lessons been learned. 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 no one you miss completed her. we didn't know

them for me. 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 the massacre rotation, 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 with a family kits they have to go to school. so are integrating them into school

learning the language and learning though and drama way off of the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now. that experience has etched itself onto the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy in oil bonuses like young 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

ah. is 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 said window hardest bought the window. 33 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 causal natal was still rain falling on sunday. but the concentration is moving eastwards, may well become a temporary problem in southern mozambique. come monday. ah frank assessments. what are the political risks of batting russian oil? a gas for western leaders will sanctions on russian energy exports was informed opinions is not abandoning to fight against yet. he still is a media going to be acting from missouri and from chad critical debate. could china

and the need to do something in an important mid term year. i mean, obviously, all of this has been exacerbated by the war and that is, you know, given another life as inflation that was already building before. so, you know, this is kind of a step to try to try to alleviate that, to some degree. i don't think it's going to be all that effective, but least messaging standpoint they're, they're putting it out there is something that the bottom ministration is going to put itself in, right? which is stuck between the rock and hard place of one hand, you know, you know, leave eating their short term economic pressures. the other hand, in pursuing the can, 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, only the only tool available is your leaves with 40 seen announced and that will help to kind of cap price and i'm a 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 with high prices and pressure,

and consumers with high not just gasoline prices, but, but diesel, jeff, your other price 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, you know, 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, and that's, that's the challenge. less him has become one of the most sought after a minerals crucial for the transition to renewable energy and used in batteries, laptops, even medication or chillies, the world's 2nd largest producer and a hot spot. her international mining companies looking to cash in on the lithium rush. but as our latin america editor lucio newman reports indigenous communities, se mining threatens the way they live. can the lady

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 coil community office. but he had oil afloat, phone. okay, 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 more lithium mines will defeat the little water. they have easier you an elite lewalma. 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 control the sea chiles. new government wants to create a state owned 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 with the real money. is that what former deputy mining minister ed got? blanca warns it's not feasible. it puts it back in the deal with him. 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 chili a french president is company and must say ahead of next week's election run off the manual macros hoping to win over the left wing voters who bags on. look,

we have civil wars in many places of the country. we should not be happy while others are in trouble. thus why we are showing our solidarity with them. there are no longer daily protests in man man, which began when the military seized power in february, last year. subsequent brutal cracked down 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 myanmar years into the sole hostel you're lucky. hardly have been really utilized yet every away. they're still

's as they're known. although more americans are buying e v 's, they're still not as popular as in europe. sales doubled last year, but still only account for about 4 percent of all new vehicles sold. but automakers remain bullish on the future of electric, the lifestyle leaving the house every day with a fault,

a full battery from your house. that's an luxury just by itself. but electric vehicle manufacturers face many problems, one is the war and ukraine has up ended, commodity prices and supply chains. nickel for example, has skyrocketed in price at one point last month, jumping over 90 percent. nickel is in a central component for evie batteries. those materials at russia strongly associated with will become short supply, either now or in the future, that includes items like radium, includes things like nickel, minium, those kind of resources, and they will have the effect of pushing prices. of course, there is also the problem of a lack of charging stations. this is a map of new york state and all of the dots represent where the government is planning to build more electric vehicle charging stations. but according to a new report by the department of transportation, just new york city will need

a 1000 new charging ports like this one by 2025. and up 210000 more of these by 2030, just to meet the potential demand. there is also the cost electric vehicles are on average $10000.00 more expensive to buy than gas powered cars. but advocates urge buyers to focus on the longer term savings. the ownership costs are massively less than buying a internal combustion or, or ice, a car. you don't have any oil changes, your maintenance costs are inherently going to be lower. take a closer look around the auto show and there are signs of promise, but also signs that weaning americans off their gas guzzling cars and trucks may have a little way to go. but how do i get it? gabriel's armando al jazeera new york, ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, ukraine's government says 8 cities have been targeted by russian missile strikes on
