in europe it's covered in almost an area of 11 square kilometers. small, you pool is quite important for both parties. for both ukraine and russia, where you claim it is a symbol of the resistance almost since the early days of the war. ukrainian troops including other regiments, ukrainian, marine, and national guard brigades, motorized, big days were fighting against the russian force of there. and it has been a symbol of the resistance before russia. it is quite important because the expertise said that here say that russia wants to connect to don't both region with the crimea. and if they can take full control over the city of multiple, then they will be achieving to build a land bridge to connect these 2 areas. not also jabbar is in moscow. she says there's been no comment from russia about ukraine's decision to ignore its ultimatum. we've been hearing from the defense ministry spokesperson, eager con shank of o,

following violence out at alex most compound. in the latest incident, 20 palestinians were injured after being forcibly dispersed on sunday. israeli, please say they enter the signs in response to palestinian setting barricades to prevent ultra right tween jewish fruits from entering. john homer reports known from occupied east jerusalem. ah, the latest confrontations between israeli forces and palestinians, near the alex and most compound in occupied east jerusalem. sunday was the 1st day since the beginning of the jewish pass over celebrations when no muslims could visit the compound. hundreds of jews did so with israeli forces guarding them. neither will welcome bye bye. now the hot bad that deputy. we were forced out of the elect to mosque after the don't print them, settler started to enter. after we saw 2 groups of them, we sat at a chance the police tried to detain me. i've lab it was, it is really police said the palestinians had gathered stones and put up barricades

to block the jewish groups from arriving. and that they removed, protest is to restore order. the palestinian red crescent reported injuries to 10 people. the lack so most compound islam stirred holy as place. it's also reviewed by jews, is the site of the original temple and along with tourists. national zine is visited regularly. those visits are always a source of tension, but especially this year with the muslim holy month of ramadan. i'm paul, so coinciding what to so added to the tension is a smooth, extreme, mysterious group cooling for sacrifices in the acts compound during passover, now that's a cool that they make every year. it's something that the israeli government bands every year, including this one. but this time around, it's got more attention from palestinians who worried that it might actually happen

. is ro capture these through sla where the i like to compound is located in the 967 will not capacious. it's been a source of anguish for palestinian since lisa asia. what happened today is a crime because we can't enjoy our prayers. we can't enjoy our worship afraid of our holy sciences and we can't feel safe anymore. even in the holy sites we've been coming to since we were young children. and that's because of the occupation in israeli forces also arrested to palestinians for throwing rocks at buses with jewish passengers heading to the old city somewhere injured only adding to the tension here. john home and i was it or occupied east jerusalem while people died from caving 19 than originally thought the world health organization puts that number 15000000 worldwide. rather $9000000.00, not the full 1000000 additional deaths in india. they can be total there 8 times

more than has been officially recorded. now the figures a possibly yet to be released study published in real time. the newspaper says report has been delayed because of objections from india. ariel karlinski advises world help organization. he says the reports delay has made mortality figures more accurate, but added that the true global death toll is still difficult to calculate. the issue in the many countries are differ and how they certify a call with death and even a covert case. and they of course differ in their capacity to even just administer the test. so the number of reported corporate death that you might see on there, john hopkins, that's boerger on the w h o. that is simply and comparable between countries, especially countries from different continents or development level. this is the exact reason why w as your commission 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 our normal time. you know, you know, usual day in the car. 100 people die during play time. it might be $150.00 people and the 50 plus people are what we call access mortality. i really hope that a silver lining, if you can call it, and demick would be for government to vitally improve their vitamin facial 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 best. that the lay 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,

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, are employing household survey, or simply submitting rights to information request for various local governments. and they simply give out you to log come because they are bound by the number of deaths that they have. registered fame may 2021, which was unfortunately the peak koby the wave back in india still had her on al jazeera. welcome to babylon. now torres are enjoying iran, skulking treasures again. oh, hello there for north america. as one weather system pushes its way east. we've got another one coming in behind it. much of the weather action however,

is going to be in the southeast corner of the u. s. in the days to come, but if we do take a closer look to the north west pacific, where you can see the next winter storm is ready to roll in. bringing snow and rain to places like british columbia, edging down into washington and oregon as well. and even touching into northern areas of california says and welcome rain coming here. it is gonna remain raw the hot and dry for the south of this the desert southwest seeing hot and dry conditions and of course a critical fire risk with that. but if we had to the east coast, this is where the action is. you can see those storm swirling away from the lower mississippi valley. edging into the mid atlantic, we could see some flooding rains here. and of course, a wintery picture across the great lakes. now ahead of that for new england, it is finer and dryer. the have a look what happens is we go into choose day that's going to sweep its way further east. taking a lot of the wintry conditions to canada and we're going to see a cool down for much of the east coast of the us. if we look at the 3 day for new

york while it is going to be cool with showers. the sunshine however, will be back in by the time we get to wednesday, that she, whether ah the world is warming, and green lands ice sheet is melting, which is changing everything from sea levels to the way people live. and now even exposing the remnants of a cold war, paused greenland the melting of the frozen nor on al jazeera ah, bold and untold stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah

ah! plug back your watching out as there are these the whole robin, a reminder of all top stories, ukrainian soldiers have ignored a russian deadline to surrender in the besieged port city of mario pole. moscow says its forces of almost completely seized the port city. it would be its biggest price of the wall. also at least 20 palis to be worshippers have been forcibly dispersed from the out acts of mosque compound is ready forces sites in response to a palestinian setting of barricades to provide jewish groups entering. and around 15000000 people have died worldwide. you to the cove at 19 pandemic. 9000000 more than previously thought that's according to a yet to be released. world household, my zation study reported in the new york times. now pope francis, the head of the roman catholic church, has made an emotional appeal for an end to the war in ukraine during his easter

address. see, or by chick fil a, my, the toyota alpha ina let there be peace for war torn 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. of suffering and death made a new dawn with him of hope soon appeared. let there be a decision for peace. let there be an end to the flexing of muscle with people suffering. the please, please. 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 churches across ukraine. i have 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 ratford reports now from the capital. keith, there is a cold silence before easter sunday service at this catholic church and give worshippers neil and cross themselves as they come in. some take confession while the congregation gathers many of the people who have family members and friends fighting in the east most never expected. they would have to live through war. british of us without kathy, the other one is living for their own personal pain. and they know some of the people they know may not come home. and we're coming here to look for belief and hope because maybe there'll be nothing left

i there more than a 1000000 roman catholics in this predominately christian country. boxes have donated food and clothing, especially among the isles. medical volunteers among the worshippers to distribute to those in need. father pavlovitch, scopes, prepared to give communion the congregation wait in line with me civilly. 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 in a corner of the church stands a model of an army post with ukrainian flag. recently, services that had to be held on the ground is the church crypt until a few days ago, church services in recent weeks have been held here underground. because of fear of

potential russian shelling. now, despite the fact that rushing force, he said withdrawn from areas around care, there is still great fear that that shilling 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 prussia to close the church on february the 24th, when the russian army faded. last of the days were started. official stoled us, we had to close the church, but to refused because we had to support the people we have since helped evacuate children and the elderly from areas of the parish outside came the atmosphere in charge has changed. since we started, people are more united and we help each other more. ah, a priest collects money to go towards renovation of the church damaged by fire last year. because without this place of worship,

many of the people here would find living through war even harder than it already is. tell strafford al jazeera cave miles that region to hers is really thing $1600.00 prisoners and an amnesty for the but it's new. yeah. but political detainees weren't among those free from a jail. in the commercial capital, young gone, thousands of protesters have been arrested, entertained since they didn't to seize power 14 months ago. only as a doctoral prize fellow at the institute for media and creative industries at le, bringing diversity in london. he says, people in miramar continue to oppose military rule despite the release of political prisoners. well, the military is arrested. an astonishing number of people since the co and february of last year. so this of there's about 13000 people who are political prisoners in b m. they're in jail for any perceived opposition to the coast peaceful protesters

. if you carried a banner that suggested you weren't happy with the code, you could be sentenced to a considerable period of time in jail. what the military's done though, since that time is at various times such as the buddhist new year, as we say now, it has a political print. it has an at politic a prisoner amnesty. they've used this as a form of social control, so they would, they would release a certain number of political prisoners. it's an enticement to the families and friends and associates of those who are in jail, not to continue with their opposition to military control. and for the military, it also served a purpose internationally. it garnered them some positive press and it was an attempt to forestall stronger international action against the code. but the military, i think his form the view that this tactic, hassan worked the international community, particularly united states, a very strong in its opposition to, to military role within me and my, and domestically,

people across the country remained strongly opposed to military rule. so the worry now is that it's social control that the military tried to use, hasn't worked. the military is likely to turn to really the only other tool than its arsenal, which is terror and violence and oppression. the pulse government is asking work as abroad to deposit their money in domestic banks as concerns mount about dwindling foreign exchange reserves. the government insists itself facing and economic crisis likes to lanka, as i'm at the liberals from calendar in the bustling market in downtown. got my do its business as usual shop with crowds doors at the beginning of nepal, new year. but experts was behind all the activity and economic crisis is looming. the economic recovery that we have seen is much less compared to

other countries who were similar to hit by. and for example, last 2 years, ours growth was on the one percent compared to our normal long term average off, you know, 9 percent that we should have got to in 2 years time. during the pandemic, the number of tourists felt the amount of money sent home by nepalese working abroad, also dropped significantly. and apologize. international video isn't particularly high, but as ballooning invoice and high oil prices depleted foreign currency reserves experts warn the country could be headed toward the economic crisis. if the government doesn't step up in time. and there are other pressures i'm going to say to guy. there's been a hike, an oil prices leader of petrol, that cost around $100.00 rupees. now costs $160.00 release. nepal central bank has taken action to manage import and increased foreign exchange with some kind of the challenge in the economy, particularly because of the import of some of the items. for example,

the vehicles and the petroleum products, which are a large portion of the board in nepal. so how we can manage that? that's one of the issues that is struggling in the present context. reducing by dia, imports cause heavy duty equipment to nepal, and she says it's important for businesses to work with the government, the central bank and business community. we being all completely him import oriented economy. we have a huge trade in balance because we have nothing being exported from here or at least a little being exported from here. so every small change in the world on the globe impact. and that is why we have these you know, these spanish situations every now and then as nepal absorbs economic shops, experts say it needs to act fast to avoid a full blown crisis from a limber as eva,

cut and do. tourism is making a comeback in iraq despite years of war invasion and the destruction of ancient archaeological sites, visitors returning to see the remaining cultural treasures. one destination proving quite popular is once long been known as the cradle of civilization. from babylon, mahmoud of the head reports in the ancient city of babylon, tourists are trickling back. that follows the iraqi government, ending the need for pre arrival visa from dozens of countries. this is erica of babylon, as it's thought to have looked like in 600, be see little is left of the original structure, but tourist is, are fascinated by 4000 years of mr. pertain. he has cultural heritage. a lot of people back in ireland don't even know that babylon is in iraq. they don't even know it's still a real place. you know?

so it's so incredible to be able to come here. this is what remains of the hanging gardens of babylon. one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. the original and renowned as tara gate was shipped off to berlin by european archaeologists. at the beginning of the last century, archaeologists say numerous, his seroquel treasures are waiting to be discovered across iraq. here in this area, for instance, there are ancient ruins beneath these surrounding pol mcgrooves and villages there threatened by oil pipelines running through them and encroachments by local residents. all was the cultural, half planned of ancient mister per tamia. it's revered as the birth place of prophet abra harm and gained international attention following glossed. he is a visit by the head of the catholic church. pop frances? yeah. i think even more from from my parents, they were,

they were quite nervous. they were, they asked why you go into iraq and, and is going to be safe. and, but the people i've been so friendly is very welcoming. and so for my point, we, it's a great country to with us. so zones of priceless artifacts have been looted or smuggled out of iraq. ancient term pills, palaces and tombs either destroyed by i sell or damage it under the watch of consecutive governments over par alysia. feel happy on a car. cultural tourism was blooming before the 2003 us live invasion. but we've recently received several western excavation missions that have helped a lot on discovering and protecting meaning sites. they've also highlighted the importance of or as the center for inter faith and destination for tourists from various backgrounds that he searches of tourism means creating new development projects and job opportunities for many here highest and i to her for harl, santa rocky. these pieces,
