a stroke because there is more than $100.00 civilians which are suffering for more than 14 days. oh this, she maryan barron crisis and this is in this besieged city. and they have no water, no food, no heat, no electricity. and they ask all of our partners, do support and how to stop this human about him catastrophic model. or we have correspondence in ukraine and, and russia in a moment we'll hear from bristol, sars are in key. but 1st, let's get an update from wolf moscow with a dorsal jabari to tell us what more the russians are saying about the deadline that has now passed or so what we've been hearing from is the defense ministry spokesperson, eager con shank of o, who brief to about the latest military developments, such as the russians have been

a gauging the number of as strikes. they carried out over the past few hours. but at clearly no mention of this a ceasefire that came in once and a what is the fate of the nearly $2500.00 ukrainian as soldiers that are around this plant. in mariel, pal, the russians not indicating whether or not any of them have surrendered and whether or not they're still engaged in any kind of a as fighting that it might be going on. we do know that the russian defense ministry said that this is the best chance that they have in order to save their lives, to surrender, to lay down their arms. they provided a 7 hour window of a cease fire, and the russian defense ministry also said that they submitted the documents about the cease fire to various international organizations, including the united nations, as well as the international, a red cross. and the idea is that they want to be very clear that it opportunity

was provided for those military personnel to surrender. now, mary, opal has been under and russia, russian attacks since march 11th. and this is no day $53.00 of the so called special military operation. that russia launched in ukraine and from on february 24th, the port cities strategically extremely important for this operation because they are russians have said that the 2nd phase of their operation will focus on the eastern part of ukraine. milly, the dumbass region. and this a city, the poor city of mary opal's, crucial to providing a land corridor that would go from crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, to that region of dumbass in the eastern part of ukraine. so this is going to be a very crucial moment in this conflict for the russians indeed. and they've said they've already cleared at the areas in the city. and that's at this area around

this plant. a miracle is the last parts before they can declare that they are now in full control of mario full. they said that they have control of the ports of mario full earlier this week, as well as a number of ukrainian soldiers as surrendering of the defense. mister saying, over 1400 ukrainian soldiers surrendered to the russians earlier this week, so it will be very important to see what is the fate of the remaining 2500 ukranian soldiers in that city. okay, and we'll find that out with her. so sardar, thank your doors are for the time being endorsed. jabari is reporting for moscow. let's i bring in russell, he's joining us from gib. so what is ukraine saying about mario? poland. what's taking place there while the you couldn't official say that they and russia, they have failed to agree on opening the recreation corridors for civilians and also for the ukrainian wounded troops as well. so as russia proposed the

proposal or offered to the fight in ukrainian troops there to surrender, to lay down their arms and to surrender the between 10 am local time and at 1 pm. but the ukrainian, or official officers or officials here say that they have refused to surrender. the fighting is still continued. so russell for them to gather in a dead those toll stuart, which is a very who just steal company. indeed the largest in the in europe. but as i said before, now you can just hear in key of the fear of the fight is still continued and the troops refused to to surrender. so much you for, for you canyons is quite important because it has been as symbol of the resistance almost since the, for the early days of the war on and for russia is quite important because if they can take the full control of the city, then they will be able to, to, to,

to connect to the don bus area with the crimea by building a land bridge. and now they're per say that multiple is the only the only obstacle in front of achieving this goal for russia and wrestle. what is happening and other parts of the country? all right, apologies. so we seem to have lost our connection with restore referral. it was the reporting for us from keith, but we'll move on and we'll tell you about alexandra voter of air. who's the editor in chief, swiss military review, and he explains why mario poll is important to russia's plan. my opponent is an extremely decisive place, a decisive area because of owning my funds for the russians will mean a territorial continuity. and therefore, during the negotiations and agreements that will of course,

take place at the end of hostilities, it will be absolutely indispensable for russia to gain this territorial continuity in order to be able to break off the secessionist republics from your credit. and it is extremely difficult to be able to bring more supplies and more weapons to the people who are to the units that are defending matthew part. because of course, the russian pressure is not only exercised on the city itself, but also all of the axis that would allow for any reinforcements to, to, to get to matter. so the ukranian strategy has not been to put all of its assets, all of its defenses in the town, but also keep a very, very strong, if you want to call it a 2nd line, which has been holding very strongly despite fierce russian attacks in the past.

few weeks ukraine has managed to stage, at least for very impressive mechanized counter attacks in the car kitchen area. so that is north of the area that we are talking about. and they have been quite successful in these offensive operations. contrary to what some experts would have believed at the onset of the war. however, the military potentials for combined arms or fair in the ukrainian military. and that will require large units and, and, and substantial intelligence, substantial higher power. the ability for the crane in military to mount such an operation today is much more limited than it was perhaps 2 or 4 weeks ago. churches and ukraine had been holding services for easter sunday despite the threat of

rushes invasion. many of the countries, 1200000 roman catholics have been forced to flee their homes, but others have remained and the war is dominating their thoughts and prayers. charles stratford reports in the capital, keith there is a cold silence before easter sunday service at this catholic church and cave worshippers. neil and crossed themselves as they come in. some take confession while the congregation gathers many of the people here have family members and friends fighting in the east. most never expected. they would have to live through war. british of us, the south. i see the other one is living through their own personal train and they know some of the people they know may not come home and but coming here to look for belief and hope because maybe there will be nothing left

ah, there are more than a 1000000 roman catholics in this predominately orthodox christian country boxes of donated, food and clothing, stay along the aisles. ready for volunteers among the worshippers to distribute to those in need. father. pavlov. the scope sky prepares to give communion. the congregation wait in line was early civilly civil. only guess. yeah. when the war started, i started coming to the church more often because of the anxiety. when i hear the father's preaching, it gets easier. i find more faith in myself in our society, and our victory of the better man. in a corner of the church stands a moral of an army post with the ukrainian flag. recently, services of had to be held on the ground in the church crypt until a few days ago,

church services in recent weeks have been held here underground because of fear of potential russian shilling. now, despite the fact that russian forces have withdrawn from areas around kia, there is still great fear that that shelling could start. again. the head priest here says that he estimates up to 80 percent of the worshippers in this parish of fled. since the war began. the priests resisted government pressure to close the church on probably the 24th. when the russian army invaded glass for the day, the war started official stalled us. we had to close the church, but he refused because we had to support the people we have since help evacuate children. and the elderly, from areas of the parish outside gave the atmosphere in the charge has changed. since the war started, people are more united and we help each other more. ah, a priest collect money to go towards renovations of the church damaged by fire last

year. because without this place of worship, many of the people who would find living through war even harder than it already is . char stratford, al jazeera cave, apo francis, the head of the roman catholic church has made an emotional appeal for an end to the war. and ukraine during his easter address, but she might not let be peace for war, tone, ukraine. so sorely tried by the violence, so sorely tried by the violence and the destruction of the cruel and senseless walk into which it was dragged in this terrible night. suffering. and made a new dawn of hope soon appeared. let the be a decision for peace. let that be an end to the flexing of muscle with people suffering the please clean, let's not get used to war. i hold in my heart all the many ukrainian victims, the millions of refugees, and internally displaced persons, the divided families,

the elderly left to fend for themselves the lives broken. and the cities raised me to the ground. hunt him our head on the altar and our, including this a desperate search for survivors in the philippines. the latest on the countries efforts to recover from tropical storm mcgee and in the n be a superstar steph curry returns of golden states make a winning start to the play off. ah. but 1st 15000000 people have died worldwide due to the pandemic. 9000000 more than previously thought that's according to a yet to be released. world health organization study reported in the new york times. the newspaper says it's been delayed because if objections from india, for 1000000 of the additional deaths happened, they're making the total a times as many as officially recorded area. carlin ski advises the world health

organization. he says the reports delay has made mortality figures more accurate, but added that the true global debt all is still difficult to calculate. big issue in the many countries are differ and how they certify a covey deaf and even a covert case. and they of course differ in their capacity to even just administer the test. so the number of reported code with deaf that you might see on the john hopkins dashboard are on the w h o. that is simply an comparable between countries, especially countries from different continents or development level. this is the exact reason why w, a commission this expert with the i'm a member of which is to look at sort of a simpler measure, but are much more robust measure for comparison across countries across time. would you have access mortality? unfortunately, when i put them in psych, deaths are above and beyond what you would expect under normal time, you know,

usual day in the car. 100 people die during play time. it might be $150.00 people and be 50 plus people are what we call our accept mortality. i really hope that a silver lining, if you could call it, that disconnect, would be for governments to vitally improve their vitamin patient system. many countries in latin america have been undergoing this reform in the past few years, which give us really an unparalleled insight into what's been going on there. but many countries in se, asia pacific and africa still register only a fraction of, of total deaf. that delay, we've had caused us to shift our estimation time from up to the end of june 2021 to up to the end of 2021. and then the problem is we got more data from more countries around roles and also from more data from india, much of it collected by local researchers and journalists, either employing household survey,

or simply submitting right to information request for various local governments. and they simply give out you to love can be bound by the number of deaths that they have registered fame may 2021, which was unfortunately the peak covey to wave back. in india, 20 palestinian worshippers have been injured after being forcibly dispersed from the ox almost compound. israel said the operation was in response to palestinian setting a barricades to prevent ultra right wing jewish groups from entering. at least 18 people have been arrested. is really police have now left the area while the locks are compound is one of the most volatile flashpoints in occupied east jerusalem for muslims. it contains 2 flat fully sights, the locks or mosque and the dome of the rock. jews call it temple mounts. revering it as their 1st temple, they pray at the western wall in 1967,

jordan and israel agreed that the walk for the atlantic trust controls the compound . while israel controls external security only muslims are allowed to pray in the mosque while jews can pray outside the compound at the western wall. the walks does allow non muslims to visit the compound 5 days per week under its supervision. tourists are allowed in the palestinians are concerned that the site muslim identity is under threat by ultra right wing religious groups increasingly entering the site to attempt to pray their illegally. earlier i spoke to sammy, i was harder who's a palestinian as really politician. he's also the leader of the ballads party. he says that illegal prayer of the ox almost compound. what will the inflame tensions in the region? we are asking this riley government to stop playing with fire. the lid this side which is trying to change the status quo in the locks on was the most holy place for muslims all over the world. is the israeli government. what we are asking for

is just to stop there trying in order to change the status quo in the last time it locks the most and allow freedom of religion and worship for everyone to did. they also prevented the christians from going to their churches. they decided that on the very, very small number of christians are allowed to get to the church 500 people and surrounded the church, only 1001. on the same time, the israeli government, which is preventing muslims on christian from freedom of religion. they are putting their armed forces in order to bring extreme national religious jews to play in the lab so most illegally. the same government is preventing muslims and christians from pre. and then with this army trying to bring this mission that they just looked into a lot of we are asking this israeli government just to stop playing with fire and

stop trying to change the status quo on the last. almost. that's all ok and let's look at some of the other reaction that has come through. i mean, we heard from the jordanian foreign ministry who put out a statement on sunday and saying that israel's measures to change the status quo, which is what you're saying or a dangerous escalation. and israel baron's responsibility for the consequences. does the statement go far enough for you? i think that egypt and jordan can play much stronger role than what they are doing . you know, statements are good, but they have enough good relations to convince this government to stop this violence with the palestinians. we have the interest to stop this violence. we are the victims of violence. we don't have any interest in this violence. we want to. but the main reason for violence is this continuous and shrines every day of the israeli government of changing the top one. the last, almost the main problem is occupation. that is the main problem with what all,

what we are seeing in the west bank, in gusta, and in east jerusalem is the valley occupation. and this solution must be ending the israeli occupation. we are seeing what's going on there at the national level with all of these people asking for ending the action of your patient, of your brain. we want all these people also to see the occupation in palestine and to do the same. we believe in peace justice for all, and we want these justice and equality for all the people all over, including palestinian. that's all. how do you expect the the next couple of weeks to play out? at least it all got to do with the israeli government. if they decide on escalating the situation or not, i was a few times in general. so i sat with the youth, palestinian youth there in babylon. more than the last, almost all over the city. we are not interested in ones. we don't want to see this funds. we are asking this rose to stop their violence. that's all those who are

doing the escalations are the slot is very policies we are in the in one and in the most holy month of the rama, the vast majority of the people wants to use this month for fasting up for brain on for worship. this is what we want in order to live normally and, and continue our, than he worship. we just need the israelis to stop the violence. that's all. well, let's find out how things stand right now in the exam asked compound this week to john home, and he's joining us from occupied east jerusalem from damascus gate. i believe john, just tell us what's been happening in the past few hours and what you're, you've been seeing it. things have been calm and alexa most and the compound around it since that happened in the morning. there's also been statements from these railey side and also the palestinian side

in the jewel damien site, who's so have custodian of the mosque and the compound, the palestinian government, condemning what happens saying that it is an escalation, as you said on the part of the israeli and these re lease, saying that they want things to be calm, but the prime minister, enough tale bennett said that they will protect their citizens. so differing views on the i'm now at damascus gate, which as you said, is, is an area where people like to gather off to pres. we're just going to show you a little bit about what's happening here. these are people that have gathered on the steps off to going to present the alex or most that it's very calm atmosphere. and there was also on friday actually after the, the b. b incident in alexa most on friday morning by the evening. everyone was gathered peacefully and it's so have been a contrast to what happened at this same sort of time in ramadan, last year,

which there were barricades put by israeli authorities across these steps. the people like to sit on the stop businesses. so that hasn't happened this year. people are sitting quite calmly at the moment. it's a lot of that it was, even in the 1st days of ramadan, this time round. but as we've all been saying, this could change quite quickly. and events like the ones today could change the situation in a moment. really. all right, john, thank you so much. john hallman is reporting from occupied east jerusalem during his easter sunday address. po frances appealed for free access to the holy sites in jerusalem for all communities shipper. immediately in the legitimate may there be peace in the middle east racked by years of conflict and division on this glorious day. let's ask for peace upon jerusalem. peace upon those who love her. christians,

jews, muslims alike, may israelis, palestinians, and those who dwell in the holy city together with the pilgrims experienced the beauty of peace and enjoy free access to the holy places with mutual respect for the rights of each. officials, enough, gone as dawn say at least 47 people died in error strikes in the east of the country on saturday. that's an increase on the previous estimated debts all of 30. i've gone off or do you say the attacks and coon are in coast provinces were carried out by pakistani military helicopters, pakistan has denied it, carried out the strikes still had on the al jazeera news, our official men are anxiously watching for any pollution after a tanker sinks off the coast of tennessee, i'm getting ready for a fight. north korea says it's successfully launched a new type of weapon. and later in sport, the greek star master is monte carlo for the 2nd straight year. ah,
