12:04 pm
is quite important for both parties. so for ukrainians it is a symbol of the resistance. but for russia it is a, a, a city that if they take full control of the city, then they will be able to connect don bus with the crimea. and that could be a turning point in this war, because if they achieved this go down, russia will be able to re direct a some of his forces from when you pull to the don bus region. and how does all of that fit in with what's going on elsewhere in the country? well, just a little bit, they go at the mere or for brovio, a town of brewery, which is at the very much close to cuba. east of ki, if he says that russia has ever been launched as missiles on a infrastructure facility in the, in the town. and he says that at one of the residents that,

12:10 pm
indiscriminately shedding residential neighborhood. now, 17 policy worshippers have been injured ought to be forcibly disperse. male must compound. israel said the operation was in response to palestinians, setting up barricades to prevent ultra right. we get jewish groups from entering at least 2 people have been arrested, is ready, place have now left the area and let speak to natasha can name across politics in occupied through. so natasha. so what's happening right now, as you mentioned, the israeli police have vacated the l. aka compound as have the 545 jewish visitors who during designated hours this morning visited the alex a compound. we have some updated numbers for you on injuries and arrests. there are 19 people who are were injured this morning. some of their injuries will include wounds from rubber bullets. 5 of those people were taken to the hospital during
12:11 pm
this intense period this morning. paramedics say they were banned from accessing the compound and helping those who were injured. a total of 9 people have been arrested so far. 4 of them for bat vandalizing, the buses that were transporting the jewish visitors to the l. oxer compound. these people have a very, a heightened interest in visiting the ox a compound because it is not only ramadan, it is pass over for jews. and the temple mount is on the site of the ox. a compound it is very wholly to jewish people. but these groups are a little bit different. they are ultra nationalist, zionist, and jewish settlers. in recent years, their numbers have grown and they have become more vocal. they want to be able to pray inside the l ox. a compound that is not permitted. they also want to be able to perform rituals inside the l at the compound. and it,
12:12 pm
all they really can do right now is go inside the compound and wander around. they can't do anything else we saw though to day adults, women and boys and girls inside the compound. but this, these groups, which were once considered kind of fringe, have grown in numbers and actually now have support from that. some is really politicians. so we have this a confluence of events, this very important slide for both muslims and jews. we come to the time of tension through res israelis and palestinians and other parts of the occupied territories to a love song. what, yeah, i would as rewind to march 22nd. that is when a series of 4 attacks began in israel, that killed 14 israelis. the israeli military responded with an ongoing operation. in the west bank that has killed about 2 dozen palestinians, dozens have been arrested. there have been accusations of
12:13 pm
a very heavy handed approach by the israeli military and a use of collective punishment measures in terms of restricting access and suspending visits for people who have family in israel, a particular blow considering the fact that this is ramadan. and then you have to take into consideration that leading up to friday, we saw lots of violets there. but leading up to friday, a fringe of right wing group had been at causing a lot of agitation. he had been someone from that group had been offering a cash prize for someone to go inside out ox, a mosque compound on friday, which is forbidden for non muslims and sacrifice a goat. 6 people from that group were arrested. the government made clear that would not happen, but that might give you an idea of why come friday. things were so tense, the night before hundreds of palestinians had spent the night in the compound to quote, defend the mosque. and then what we saw friday,
12:14 pm
we're more than 150 people injured, more than 400 arrested. it was according to human rights groups, the largest on mass arrest and one day and one hour for us for about 20 years. so that should give you the big picture and explain why there is a lot of agitation. and even today though, it's com right now, we're getting ready for muslims to have their noun, ramadan prayer. because for people to come into asa and quote defended, continue to come. we're hearing that from the armed group, the sonic jihad, hamas, the group that controls the gaza strip as well as palestinian president's office are unintentionally left. man, thanks very much for that update. and tuscany reporting i still had here now to 0 decision time in france, but will a mental macaroni, marina pen, convince voters, they're the best choice for president. it may not look like much, but underneath the salt flats lies, lithium, which is at the center of conflict over who should own one of the sources of the
12:15 pm
biggest wealth in this country. ah, now the winds turning the ne monsoon is turning up to become a southwesterly and where the to meet is more or less over thailand. so i think we get convergence. that wind up produces big thunderstorms and talent may be cambodia, dancer, peninsula, malaysia and sue marsh. this is the wettest area elsewhere for malaysia, indonesia and the philippines is daily thunderstorms with that's right. at most times he had nothing to extraordinary about that. in australia, with the change of season, we watch no fronts coming through the bite. they're usually cold fronts. they slow moving, but temperance aren't extremely low yet. but you could get persistent re, maybe in south australia, more likely in victoria. so in melbourne,
12:16 pm
wandering around that line, which has gone through tasmania, and whose taylor is giving a few showers in western australia. we're still quite warm to be on. so 27 in perth as opposed to 16 in melbourne. and then that range heading towards the east coast from new south wales. and yes, it's still wet on the ground around sidney. now, new zealand. lovely looking weather. yeah, it's like to be rather wet in oakland, so in oakland just expect more. right. if you read, tries church enjoy the sunshine attempt is actually arising it about $21.00 is clearly going to be run rain coming to south island, but he was new. ah, the full of struggles full of pleasure. that at the moment i went on there with the same demon to me news, you may go and may godsa legal. i may from india, they will west on me how me an intimate look at life in cuba. wardrobe and then go

12:19 pm
production facility. the same time that there are a variety of reasons behind was in west ranger doing the election and south can we have a new harder line president. the beginning of u. s. south korean military maneuvers on monday. but in many ways, i think the gross koreans are flexing their muscles because they want to be paid attention to. um, but the word ukraine having international attention north korea's used to being is seen as a big player, someone who a country to everyone has to pay attention to and to try to do things to propagate . and that it's what sort of fall off the map in the last few months. so i think there's a combination of factors here, but this new capabilities that they're, they're not breathtaking. they know it's an evolution of an existing this all, they can 23. but these evolution look, capacities do show a greater level of threat, particularly to south korea in japan such as
12:20 pm
a continuing for people. missy in the philippines after tropical storm meggy struck the islands more than 160 people have been killed and at least a 110 on accounted for rail and duncan has the latest now from bay bay city. in late april. the government clarifies, there is no plan to stop retrieval operations despite this possibility being discussed on the ground. in fact, they're hoping they see that the weather participates and that if it continues to be sunny, they'll finally be able to bring in heavy equipment and implement a full scale retrieval operations. many believe that hundreds remain buried in many areas of later province. and even for a country often battered by natural disasters, typo meggy is an unusual occurrence. it is supposed to be the hottest period of the year, and it comes as the province in particular is still reeling from the impacts of di phone rise super typhoon that battered the eastern besides this region. last december. it also comes as millions of families,
12:21 pm
particularly the thousands who live in late. the province is commemorating one of the holiest week of catholicism, is supposed to be a period where families are getting together to celebrate. instead, many people say there is quite a gloom, a level of grief that has envelopes many communities here to ma'am, where the military ginger is releasing hundreds of inmates in an amnesty for the british new year. but they're not political prisoners. families gathered outside a prison in the capital hope to be united thousands of protests that have been arrested undertaken to seize. 14 months ago. nigeria is f, or says it has killed or civilian injured, 70 armed fighters in the north, the country, a camp in the bundle rego in border state was hit. it was used as a training facility by an eyesore affiliated group. the operation was carried out jointly by nigeria and nigeria. somali as near parliament is preparing to elect to president members met for the 1st time on saturday after being sworn in on thursday
12:22 pm
. they've appointed a 10 person committee to lead the process election processes been set back by more than a year by political infighting. somalia has struggled with political instability and the threat of a famine for decade. this week is set to be a crucial test of who becomes the next president of france and all that girl takes on challenger, marine the pen and the debates. on wednesday, the televised exchange will be watched by millions of people ahead of the april the 27th runoff election. natasha butler reports now from you. while we're in the final leg of the french presidential election in one week, voters will go to the polls to pick the next president of france and choose between 2 very different visions for the country. on one side, the centrist, the manual micro is running for a 2nd term as president, management of the covey pandemic in from and is diplomacy over the war and ukraine, and suddenly played out very well with photos. but he's still struggling to shake
12:23 pm
his reputation amongst thumb that he is a president who favors the rich. on the other hand, the marine, the pen is the leader of the far right party. she's still from her image in recent years. she's been campaigning very hard on the cost of living a big issue in this election. nevertheless, agenda remained firmly and t. u and gratian. in fact, she says, if elected she would make it illegal for muslim women to wear heads golf in public, in from one of the key moments of the week will be a debate between emmanuel micro, i'm marine the pen wheel, one analyst. well, we can expect you to do this on demand. well, micron will try to convince later when voters who often don't like him to support him and block the far right. but he needs to convince them that his policies are also for them. which many on the left don't believe marina pain, it needs to show she's changed and that she has more experience than 5 years ago and more critical on the economy and particularly on the big theme of the election
12:24 pm
that the cost of living. and so for both my cro in the pen campaigning hard for faith, they are targeting the many people who is still undecided as well as left wing faces by promising things like more jobs and measures to tackle climate change. the bygone administration is reversing an initiative aimed at preventing climate change . it will resume selling leases to allow companies to drill for oil and gas on federal land. the change comes as u. s. president is under pressure to reduce energy prices. the move goes against one of his campaign ledges. robert pittsville is a director of the environmental law program at the university of maryland. he says the biden administration is changing his policy reluctantly. president biden had pledged during the campaign that he would stop drilling on federal lands. it's proven to not be as simple as that, though he issued such an order. when he also rejoined the paris climate agreement,
12:25 pm
that all the nations of the world have joy. but there was a lawsuit brought that said that federal law requires that the federal government periodically offered leases, and the court ruled that the law until it is changed requires that, that be done. what the by the administration announced yesterday was that they're going to offer a little bit of land, 80 percent less than previously had been scheduled to be offered. and that they were basing this on careful environmental impact assessment to minimize the damage to the environment. now of course, climate change is so urgent that the ministry she would like for us to immediately reduce production of fossil fuels as much as possible. but that's proven to not be legally possible. lithium has become one of the most sought after minerals crucial
12:26 pm
for the transition to renewable energy and used in batteries, laptops and even medication. chill is one of the world's 2nd largest producers and a hot spot for international mining companies. looking to caution, but as our latin america editor we see a new and reports indigenous community. se mining threatens a way of life. 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 deaf 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 food can 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,
12:27 pm
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, foner gigs 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 your 2nd illegal. no one on that. if they extract the lithium from the salt flats, every single die i water will dry up because the water comes from the same place in
12:28 pm
. 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 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 and god? blanca warns it's not feasible. it but it becky, the lead the lithium batteries contained 8 percent lithium. and till you 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, if thomas is to the interests of local indigenous communities, 1st,
12:29 pm
a tough choice in times of economic hardship. you see a human medical that chili will is enough from run a client who's a, an environmental sciences professor at the netherlands latent university. and he explains why lithium, by them is so important, but also controversial. so we're, we're completely dependent on the board. so not only of them raw materials, but also batteries are largely producing out of the country. so we are dependent on, in many ways, all the imports related to the production of electric vehicles that can change. i mean, resources is not really the issue. there's enough election in our, in our underground, so to say, so there's enough religion to be mine. but at the moment, completely dependent on country like australia, chile, and also china, of course, mining 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 5 an open pit. mine is very large, austin, not
12:30 pm
a product process in germany with less idea of thermal bryant is very different. you don't need the large open bid for that. you can also use the energy that come from, from the underground, basically to do that in a problem for all men are sort of different ways of doing this. and i'm pretty sure that in europe we will take all these or mental impacts into account when we are starting you and your projects. ah. so this is out, these are, these are the top stories and you credit forces to the besieged city of mary poll. have 30 minutes left of a russian deadline to surrender. monsieur says it will spare their lives if they do ukraine's president is warning. any attack on the city will and peace talks, supervisor, my openness, i took some on the situation. maria pull remains as severe as possible just in humane. this is what the russian federation that deliberately did and deliberately continues to destroy cities. it is deliberately trying to destroy everyone.
