melissa, my cuba on al jazeera, a diverse range of stories from across the gland, from the perspective of on network journalists on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, you're watching the news, our life from a headquarters in ohio, daddy navigate coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia is accused of again, of attacking residential areas. one person is dead and dozens rescued from an apartment building in kirk eve. the u. s. resumes drilling for oil on federal land is that ukraine war puts pressure on plans to roll back from fossil fuels. it may

not look like much, but underneath these salt flat lies nicea, which is at the center of a conflict over pu should 0, one of the sources of the biggest wealth in this country desperate for drinking water. we visit a flood hit town in south africa where people have resorted to queuing at a burst in sports champions they chasing arsenal and tottenham both basin and the premier league and liverpool reach the f a cup final offer 3 t whenever manchester stacy at web me welcome to the news. our h ukrainian cities have been targeted by russian missile strikes and shelling over the past 24 hours. that's according to the ukranian government. it follows russia's warning that it would intensify. long grain strikes in retaliation for what is called sabotage on terrorism. this is the eastern city of car keys. that's where russian strikes at

a residential area. and one person was killed further east near the front line unless trans russian forces sheldon oil refinery civilians also caught up and up on boardman. it's what people warned to stay inside. and for the 2nd night rush launched airstrikes on military targets near the ukrainian capital. keep this time hitting what it claims as a tank repair facility. let's get more from us. we will sorta who's joining us from the ukranian capital keesa several days of strikes near ki versus what more can you tell us? well, just today, early in the morning, around, around 6 am in the morning that has been russian. the russian strike at a tank repairing factory and one person had been killed so far what this is what you know and 3 people at least. busy were were injured. and so just before this live, even the, a raid sirens a song the over the city again,

and the officials are now warning the residence not to leave. they are on this. we have seen that recently, russia started to attack, particularly the military factories, as it is personnel and equipment losses are increasing day by day yesterday. also russia in the morning 1 30 in the morning. targeted a, a, me so factory military factory dutch is producing and repealing the messiah factory, including the anti ship factories as well. and yesterday, that hadn't been any casualties. reporting, however, the location was quite difficult because it is very much close to the july 4th. so here, as the people are now returning to key years that this did, that tax are quite significant to the mayor of the people who f t a year early

days of the key, not to come back because there are the expectations that russia is going to intensify, it's me saying that text over the capital and the fear is that if the war escalade that a 2nd wave of the refugees could happen. all right, thank you so much. russel, sardar reporting from keith. more than 300000 ukrainians. have arrived in germany since the war began. for many, it's a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis at a time when berlin was criticized for not doing enough. but as dominic cane reports 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 no one you miss completed her renewal on 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 with asian followers sachi in the reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found on the, on their own 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 nuclear. 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. the dominant came houses, era bullying, donations of aid from europe or flooding into the ukrainian city. if levine have the cities, are a 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 tend to mentor and assistance. so people living in the eastern part of ukrainian on the north, on the territory are active with this taking place. also our headquarters send him in turn to our military who are fighting against against russian aggressions. and we are one of the centers in leave that provides for internally displaced persons who fled from rockets and bombings taliban authorities in the afghan capital. he

summoned pucks tons, ambassador to protest against the legend military strikes inside of gonna stop by pakistani forces local media and se gone on say the pakistan air force has killed at least 30 people. women and children are reported to be among the dead and coast province. with explosions here heard in nearby kuhn, our province. pakistan has denied it, carried out the strikes which follow. recent fighting with the pakistani taliban. what part of fun has some playing a balancing act between similar different taliban factions. the proctor find itala by known as that. it's either been or t, t p has been carrying out a tax and the countries northwestern belt for decades. they predominantly target politicians on public areas. the t t. p. objective has been to overthrow the pakistan states and oppose shutting law. recently, however much like the afghan taliban, the t t p are trying to project a saucer image. they now say they will only want to take over pakistan's tribal

areas and make them independent or focused on governments has made it clear that their fight is with the t t p and not the afghan taliban. but experts have been critical of this strategy saying the 2 groups do share common allegiances ideologies as well as finances. let's speak about this with the she's who's a journalist and foreign policy specialist. his books include taliban militant islam, oil and fund mentalism and central asia. he's joining us by skype from the horror and focus on my address. she'd welcome back to al jazeera serv. so i've got to start registering its opposition to this reported strike by pakistan. will this worry focused on at all? yes. there's a lot of tension on the ground pakistan border to sign or is it to use the gun bar sanctuary inside of got it done of using that to to carry out to run raids, killing thought just on a soldier along the border. yes. yes. today,

7 soldiers, including an office by tommy sally, bon attacking bank is on a tree problem of gun it's done. now it's a very complicated situation, but basically the be the bond say we are not operating anybody, but the fact remain that the bug studies are mostly hold up in the side of got it done where they receive some kind of support from the taliban government. now there was an agreement for the international lack as 2 years ago, which is my the bond. and we still thought about promise that they were not all but in foreign minister and some oil that have yet to be world will it, will this all increase tension? between the 2 countries,

i mean relations. in addition to of course what you're saying about the pakistan about the taliban relations had already been strained with disagreements over the demarcation of the i've got to talk to san border as well as be gone. taliban support for, for the ttp in protest on yes, that's correct. i mean there are a lot of tension between fox valley, even though the valley when they rot, government old living backs down in support of dikes done. so we have a very chronic situation. now the bank is done by taking if it's true that they are bombed valuable positions inside of gun it's done. that is going to jack up the tension along the border boat state to state tension between and but governments ban and between the student population

living on the side of the board. and also the delivering on the side of the board. and i mean, just drill down a little bit if you may, on the actual impact that this is going to have if there is no resolution found or no sort of solution. what impact is this actually going to have on pakistan's national security? well hi sharon, very much that is, this is true that the bank is done as bomb the site in there will be a totally wrong reaction to this probably about government reaction to this possibly along the problem that between like a thought and i've got an escalade the problem is even more, i think, a lot of frustration in cobble because of the lack of recognition given by the

international community. another thing that reduce the international community expected park is on to deliver the bomb and make the more money, ball accommodating, being in power that hasn't happened, but still doing very strict laws on education, on women's rights issues. however, this is to ok and just how will the, the new focus on the prime minister now in place of russia reef, treat that taliban. where do you see relations going between pakistan and afghanistan with this new administration? when i've gotten policy is completely dominated by the facts on the military. they make the policy and implement the policy. so it's really not about the gods,

but i don't think the new government is going to come near the policy because this is something that is the prerogative of the military. and so we have to see how this is going to be cool down. and whether it will take some conciliate debt to all the taliban government, but also persuade them to clamp down much more harshly on the back of the valley by living in a gun. all right, me thank you so much for joining us from the hor. thank you. plenty more head on the i'll just renew our, including the economic opportunity or environmental disaster, or we look at the democratic republic of congo fund to drill in some of its most sensitive ecosystem later in sport, highlights from the semi finals of the month of harlem. after ah,

so the u. s. government has 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 and president joe biden to reduce energy prices. it is a reversal of an election campaign. pledge not to allow more drilling on government owned land. he reads, drawn as head of oil markets, research and energy intelligence. he says, resuming oil and gas leases won't do much to bring down prices. it's a function of the growing economic pressures higher oil prices, higher gasoline prices, higher natural gas prices for that matter. you know, and, and the need to do something in an important midterm year. i mean, obviously, all of this has been exacerbated by the war and that is, you know, given another leg onto this 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, alleviating 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 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. 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, on with the 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 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. plans to drill for oil and the democratic republic of congo are alarming environmental groups. government leaders have approve the auction of 16 blocks of land for oil exploration. 9 of them are in the sensitive ecosystem of corvette control in the congo river basin. if the world's 2nd largest forest area, after the amazon greenpeace africa describing congos fine as a historic error that must be scrapped at last year as comp $26.00 climate conference in glasgow, donor countries pledged 500000000 dollars to protect conga leaves, rain forests, all accounts are chosen emerging markets economist and 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, all these, all these oil concessions come off the back, all the pressure europe, and i think the shape a reasonable amount of sharp business. now by putting these are, at this moment in time, we all know what the question is about the environment with basically the importance of the lease has only grown the whole. the question is, you know, how will go on about this? you know, the dive is moving in the other direction. what people realize that they're all, there is a tremendous need or not resources. oil gas accelerated 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 clue, a forest already well, be well into the future and i think people will seek some kind of accommodation. and you know, you just stop economic development at the same time. we saw it, but i think there's some compromise will be found. 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 chilly is the world's 2nd largest producer and a hot spot for international mining company is looking to caching on the lithium rush. but as our latin america editor at the c, a newman reports indigenous communities, se mining threatens the way they live can be lady a kind of those leads on in a waste is one of the few places in the, at the camera desert. the world's driest,

where you can grow something like this individual. so deaf look at this beautiful beetroot. d got some bindles 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 andes mountains. the same water that nourishes the nearby mighty conger salt flats. the hills behind me are rich and 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 yet oil afloat, phone activity will 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 your 2nd illegal. no one, no matter. 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 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 we're but former deputy mining minister and

god bless warns it's not feasible. important becca, the lead, the that the battery is contained 8 percent lithium until you would have to import the remaining 92 percent of the 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. to see and human medical, that chile. so let's take a closer look at the recent rise and global demand for lithium. the race to mind, the mineral is being fueled by increased production of lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles and goods, australia, china, and chile. as you've been hearing are the world's biggest lithium producers. europe

in the u. s. are competing to mind other parts of the world for lithium as they move away from fossil fuel towards green energy. and the war and ukraine has pushed this demand further. as europe tries to slow its reliance on russian energy, but several projects worldwide have been met with opposition from locals, including a multi $1000000.00 project in serbia. last year. let's speak about this with renee kline, who's an associate professor at the institute of environmental sciences that leads in university. he's joining us from there that's in the netherlands. welcome to al jazeera renee kline. so i know that you said this. there are currently 10 potentially viable lithium projects in the u. you say specifically if all these plants became operational, it would probably be enough for our own supply. so give us a sense of where you think this industry is headed to in europe. well, i think there is plenty of potential. i think that the problem is of course, likens cherry also there is a, a well, there's

a lot in my backyard kind of attitude which is kind of understand of all a st. you are careful to that effect that a big can mining company wants to produce alicia can from your area and creating a large open bit mine. that's really problematic, but our up on the of, of opportunities are also a possibility. so for example, use geothermal brian, it's like in like in germany. so do you think that lithium will help and the use reliance on oil as some people hope it might? well, it definitely will because i am, as you can imagine, if, if all cars in europe would be electric vehicles. and that would certainly a dense demand for, for oil products in europe. and it's a matter of timing, let's say. so we have to make sure that we, that we scale this production of batteries and electric vehicles. and there we also materials like lithium and nickel as soon as possible in order to make this happen . how vulnerable as europe right now to the various supply risks,

because as we've been reporting, the production and refining of lithium are, are heavily concentrated right now, at least in a handful of foreign countries. yes, absolutely. so where we're completely dependent on the board. so not only of the raw materials with also batteries are largely producing our country. so we're dependent on in many ways on the imports related to the production of electric vehicles. that, that can change. i mean, resources is not, will you be issued as enough mission in our, in our underground, so to say, so there's enough religion to be mine. but at the moment, completely dependent on some countries like australia, chile, and, and those are china course. and i mean if you look at certain countries in europe there's, there's opposition by some 2 lithium mining in countries like portugal. we reported earlier that serbia couldn't get a project off the ground and that project was shelved earlier this year. i mean, getting these projects off the grounds will be a challenge because there are real environmental concerns or they're not there's

absolutely, there are, i mean, mining is a, is always a big thing to, to do, let's say in a local surrounding. so there's always a lot of impacts in terms of a lot of extra, let's say industry activities and also just to see a size when open bit. mine is very large. austin, not a product process in germany with let's i, geothermal. brian's is very different. you know, the, to large open bit for that. you can also use the entity that comes from, from the underground, basically to do that in a carbon neutral manner or different ways of doing these. and i'm pretty sure that in europe we will take all these or mental impacts into accounts when we are starting you and your projects, but how disruptive is the mining process to the landscape and what are the biggest environmental concerns? yeah, i see it. so of course, if it's an open bit mine, it's 1st of all the line itself. so you basically this torino area where to my knees. and then on top of that, you haven't destroy activities of, let's say we finding the raw materials,

deposits that the minerals that come from the mine and creating some kind of concentrated you can sell and then sell the market. it's a large industrial installation that you have been an accident. of course, you're also need a lot of infrastructure in terms of transport like trucks or railways or things like that. all that a force has an impact on the local environments. thank you so much. renee kline for joining us from the netherlands. you're welcome. thanks. now, emergency services are working off the coast a tin is yet to contain a potential environmental disaster. after a tanker sank, the zillow carrying 750 tons of diesel from egypt to malta went down after seeking shelter because of bad weather. the 7 man crew was rescued. the tenants in government said the sunken ship situation is alarming. is where the police have now released more than $400.00 palestinians detained during friday. prayers at an x r mosque. 30 remaining custody around a 150 others were injured. when is really police fire?

tear gas and rubber bullets at worshippers inside the mosque. neighboring jordan, the custodian of the holy side, an occupied east jerusalem condemned the raid as a flagrant violation. still has on the al jazeera news hour, a subdued new year. why many don't feel like celebrating on the streets of me and mar christiano, and aldo is up to his old tricks, helping manchester united to a late victory. ah, it's commonly thought, middle east is hot and to be honest, most the time it is even when you drive clouds through with dust and the wind comes down from the north, it could still be considered hot. for example, the forecast was sunday still gives you 30 said window hardest part written in 33 in baghdad. this paul of orange, behind those,

a storm that's current ever libya is moving through egypt. i think it'll throw pretty nasty weather, possibly sandstorms, and much higher temperatures. up through egypt and towards nevada, they'll just look at jerusalem at 30 and barry to $28.00. 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 is i think the last day let me give you the full cost of a man, capital of jordan. this is monday's picture. 35 here. the record for amount is $37.00, so you probably run it at the right than $23.00 or even 20 as when switches round to the dock west and things clear up standard changes in southern africa. the problem has been the opposite. really the amount of rain and it's still writing was warnings lasting through sunday to monday. the causes the tall, the still rain falling on sunday, but the concentration is moving eastwards, may well become a temporary problem in southern mozambique. come monday, ah. from the

al jazeera london, bro cost center t people, unprompted uninterrupted, witnessing a much more humane res, false. what's happened to the ukrainians than what has been meet without to these non european produce, taught one. if i do with that girl a nana offered to aim, if somebody comes to gonna from europe, then never calls 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. as the warn ukraine, brian's own al jazeera correspondence, bring you every angle. there is a delicate in price is erupt in on multiple fronts. if not only managed to escape the water, but also the flash of light on the russian occupation, troy street totally destroyed, keep central station has become evacuation central station with rush and forth coming closer,

pensions are going up by the hour. stay with al jazeera for the latest developments . lou ah, ah, we have the top stories on the al jazeera and sour cranes. government says 8 cities have been targeted by russian missile strikes on shelling over the past 24 hours. authority say a residential area in the eastern city of kirk eve was hit with rockets, killing one person, an injury 80 the others. taliban authority is allison, have summoned pockets on the basset or after a legit military strikes inside of gun assigned by pakistani forces. local media say at least 30 people in the host and who are provinces have been killed. pockets

on benighted, carried out the stripes. the u. s. government says it will resume the sale of leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land. the move comes as pressure mon, some president joe bite into lower gas prices. rain is falling again in parts of south africa, still cleaning up after the worst flooding in 60 years. rescuers are continuing their search for survivors. tommy miller reports from durban. not only has the flooding killed hundreds of people to void homes and businesses. it's also badly damaged infrastructure in and around the city of dub. and here in man, we know in the prison here was running water for at least 5 days. and people have to queue what, what is essentially a burst water pipe to connect water in buckets. many of them roll king several kilometers to get shot. they simply disc local.

ever since the floating started, we have had no water and had to walk from far about 30 minutes to get here. and we have to go back and forth to get enough water for the laundry to cook. and we have to keep coming here. last week. we do have a local, we spend the whole day here because when you're down there, we start fetching our own water and then we have to help others because you can see it risky. so you have to help them. some of them, a small kids. and if they go down, they may get hurt by the south. african president form, of course, has describes the flooding, mud slides, and land slides as catastrophic one of the worst incidents south africa and have seen in decades more than 40000 people have been. and some of them displaced, and it's likely that the death toll will rise in the coming days as bodies are found under rubble under destroyed homes and other things. there is concern

about the worsening weather conditions. but now the rain seems to be limited to and drizzling, many parts of the provinces and people continue to try and mop up. but they continue 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 the french presidency campaigning and must say ahead of next week's election run off money with micro was hoping to win over the left wing voters who bags on loose men and so in the 1st round in the tight race for the presidency micro on his far right rival marilla, penn face off in 8 days the. this was the scene in paris where police use your gas. i'm pepper spray on demonstrators

marching against the for right. they denounce marine the pen campaign. they hope to prevent her from winning the presidency. thousands turned out for a similar protest and dozens of other french towns and cities on climate change, activists and paris estate. they sit in to block traffic, the latest disruptive protests by the extinction. rebellion group was near the arc that's beyond the activists are urging the next president to take action against climate change. my collins promising a stronger focus on climate and environmental policies if he is re elected. several people had been injured in india after violence broke out to ring a religious festival. members of the muslim and hindus communities attacked each other in new delhi during a hindu procession. police officers are among the injured opponents of man. mars military lead governments are calling for a boycott of official new year events. they marked the culmination of days of celebrations. of this week has looked very different as alexi o'brien reports me

and mas new year before the qu, streets full of people, several days of partying and prowling water ending in traditional celebrations. but this year in march, if the biggest city yang gone, it's quieter. many choosing to stay at home, answering the opposition call to boycott events organized by the military leadership. i some small protests were held instead. denote on the why you are the you, me and mars. then john festival is a lovely and happy traditional festival. but since the cool, we are in the dark and of lost our happiness, sylvia, that's why we do not celebrate. happy thing, john, along with revolutionary, thin, young in this new year marks, yet another 12 months spent under military rule. another 365 days living in

the shadows. this woman is too scared to show her face. d. o. 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. 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 myanmar years into the soul. austin, you're lucky. how the have been really utilize you every away. they're still

going on by the owners. so this going a road former was a long way. the military did organize some celebrations, but few attended. they were held even as fighting was reported across the country. 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. alexia bryan al jazeera, one of the most important religious and cultural sites in ukraine has chosen and 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 was on the whims have synthesized this. if 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, was 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 preserved here. there is not such a large number of preserved mosaics anywhere else in eastern europe with us. when was a pollution here in front of a 6 meter mosaic image of mother or anti made out of millions of small pieces of small only of a $150.00 shades of different colors. victory above me is an image of christ panel crater,

surrounded by angels hall. the main treasure of sophia are the authentic 1000 year old only 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. and as i x is a year round task, but since the war began, work has started to you. but one thing also stands out. unlike other important buildings, there's no defensive measures here to protect the compiled low sandbags or blast rules. the management of the church compound has declared it a demilitarized zone, asparsa 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 animal. 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 sufficient. there's
