but really it's been ruled out by most officials here as a very extreme and scenario it if and when should it be used. now we've also been hearing from the russian defense minister circ, a chicago, who at a meeting with his officials in moscow said that the reason this so called special military operation is dragging on so long and seeking very long time is because the united states in western countries has been backing ukraine and it's military, they've been supplying arms as well as financial aid to ukraine. and they are really interested in seeing this conflict dragged out as long as possible. and until the very last ukrainian soldier, if he said, meaning that they want to be able to really achieve their goal, the walk from countries and that is to the stabilize russia. and we can, it's in the defense minister also said that these a deliveries that have been going into ukraine are really not helping just

situation. of course, the united states government has so far funded the ukrainian government nearly $2500000000.00 in aid as well. as military equipment since this conflict began on february 24th. and the russian officials been saying that this is really one of the reasons that this conflict is dragging on full mock or the pitcher for moscow dose jibari, thanks very much. indeed. as we mentioned, ukraine says it has repelled the number of russian attacks. let's have a little more information on that now from the 4 suspects. the next create the lifecycle birthday. in the next 100 regions, some ukraine's defenders repels 7 enemy attacks destroyed 10 tangs 18 armored unit an 8 week old, one out of the system and a mortar unit. ukraine's air force has hit $7.00 a day before one plane for you avi's and to cruise, besides falling. well, let's get more on all of this from russell santa who's standing by for us in the crate and capitalism,

keith and russell. tell us more about what you're hearing on the ground. well, there has been, or a 1000 attacks in terms of the numbers conducted by russia overnight across the country. it was a long unsupported, or parisian russian massive operation on the, the eastern part of ukraine. and you've just had started. so it was long and speeded because when russian forces retreated, they, they, they threw up in their regions around they have read, directed them across the eastern regions of, of ukraine. and now we know that particularly in hockey, that are really much fierce fight in the middle of that. so they have said that just over the last 36 or that had been at least 15 civilians killed. and they say that the russian forces are not only targeting the military facilities, but also the rest of the areas as well. in creaming, the fight is going on yesterday. we have seen the civilians who are trying to

escape the city. they came on the shutting a several of them had been also killed. now across all the phone line, the growth, the, the don't bus region is, is now the hosting. the fierce fighting between the 2 forces you clean and the russian troops the nipple. so it was another point yesterday that the outskirts of the didn't even the town of the neighborhood the, the me pro also have been heavily, heavily shelled in you can ever is and other how support. we know that the civilians there waiting to have an access to the water and electricity seems weak, but here the symbolic town is the is the city of my, you pool. so the russia have the ukranian troops, instead of my, you pull to gather in a still work of those still still work and lay down their arms and to surrender. so far, the rain, you know, official, are seen that the troops refuse to start around there. and doesn't matter what

they're going to, we just do that, which then did the russian or fancy, however, they accept that date for says all blocked from all directions and they are running out of the ammunition. so wrestling civilians very much in the foreign line. what's the story with humanitarian colonels just in their city of my you for we know that more than a thousands of more than a 1000 civilians are waiting to be created and among them that are significant number of that of children's as well. today, the governor of law hands said that despite ukraine or russia could not reach an agreement to open the humanitarian corridors for the ever equations, they started to recreate civilians. he gave the example of a christina. yes. so they said that since the civilian could not escape could not be created. now it's, it's, it's been taken by the russia and this, at the residence of the city are being captured by the, the occupants. so in there says, is not to repeat the scenario we're,

we're creating a recreate in people. although i'm one of the development significant development of today is that, that's at least 76 people have been exchanged between russia and ukraine as the swap of their prisoners. and the deputy prime minister of ukraine says that the 60 of them were soldiers, 16 of them were civilians, and 10 of them were the, the ukrainian officers just couple of days ago ago, ukraine officials were seeing that russia has taken a, did that the mayor of some of the cities and b officers, we do not know whether it is mayors and officers are among those who have been exchanged today. russell, thanks for that sir. russell. soda bare reporting from keith penny mostella had all the news are including a family named linked to an oppressive pass. but it's not slowing down the front runner to be the next president of the philippines. new measures to fight climate change a week after devastating floods. south africa's president calls for plan of action

. we've got support coming up to steph curry starring for the golden gate in the playoffs. sada has yet to be 8. ah, at least 15 people being killed in explosions in afghanistan. capital 2 schools in the west of couple were hits. witnesses say hand grenades were used. many people in the neighbourhood belong to the sheer hazardous community that is often targeted by sunni armed groups. like the case id for jojo, and for those that we are close to the school, i quickly came to the sides when the 1st blast happened to see if everything was okay. i went to the top of my house to see what was going on. there was a crowd of people over there and i was standing on the roof of my house and called my children to enter the home. suddenly the 2nd blast happened and i got injured today. let's bring in, let fuller loved his in couple and a political unless the literally another dreadful attack. why do you think schools

would have been targeted in this way? well, thank you. this is number one, is the soft target for the military or text for the tourist doctor x, i should say. and number 2 and it can easily be circulated and it can easily be fit into the mind or that people are to lose what you want to hope and that, that, that is still the error in among the people to harness that. no one is claim responsibility at this point. i. i know it's hard to speculate, but what's your feeling at this stage? one of the year does he re aged is lot he, she, i go minute could be via and really what i have to happen in the past, the ascii or bash was the 1st to claim the responsibility for that in yet somebody has to take responsibility. but the suspicion is that it may be in the day she's

behind. yes. but do we have to wait and see? the tell about uncle say they have secured the country. it is pretty evident that the risks of a resurgent sea in militancy remains will develop. the under is to minutes the, the, the, the, the didn't want did it last year, but it didn't run. it's done. yes, there is a bit of relatively a bit of security and i've run into a lot of stuff across and learn is done. but the most important thing that we have to talk about and we have to consider is the franchise nature of the security can easily be disrupted. it was easy to be endangered as we have seen today. so therefore, i think a lot has to be done on the part of the taliban to, to, to provide if you please could 50 to the entire population. one is done, but it is going to be impossible for them. because if you see the economic hardship digits in for guys meant in the public discontent, that is going with,

with your passing day, all those things combined together. i think it could be really difficult for them because of the end of it. and these are the factors which contribute to the, to the integral of the bike and say it in the context, right? so it is mitigating for the title one to claim, but they have provided a full fledged and full. so could you to the people at one time. and finally, to what degree is the fragile nature of security. and that's going to be made more fragile by these fractious board attentions between pakistan and afghanistan. yes, the barter digit is one of the a, the video which, which indicators the president of the security and the relation between the indicators, the future of the relation between the new reality on the ground in a valley sun, enough to pakistan. so dear it number 2, a, it is, it is yet deli barnett to cause form. it's, it's body into a fully functioning as a recap,

people it responsible state yet is know for it. we'll definitely talk about basically look at that of the intelligence, the military defense. all these are still in the very national stage in parliament are working on that till that happened to their conform yourself in, quote, cabals kit i think needs, he couldn't do the men for jail in the people like that. you know, we, we don't have to forget that the dashed their hug. see, super sit in cobble, particularly in other pro. so what is them? so they can utilize the fort lines. the economics exploit the, the hardship disappointment in the anger, the piece in of, in the me, in a while, some right now, so it's going to be very difficult for the taliban. ok. all right, to look for the left, we appreciate that. thanks very much and it takes a hug. me thing shall anchor is heading towards another political crisis. i listen 24 hours of renew cabinet and sworn in opposition. parties are planning to bring down. the government's protest had been held daily,

demanding the resignation to prison. go to bar roger packs of phil anchors struggling with its worst economic crisis. does lead to power cut suit, shortages of food, fuel and medicine, and elfin. and as is more of those process now from colombia when i'm outside her, basically what is she lancoste largest specialist hospital for children and specialist needs of children. and this pretty much is the specialist staff. we've got doctors, we've got surgeons specialists and support staff that have stepped out here outside the lady ridgeway because they are demanding that proper medical supplies be provided for them. i did speak to a surgeon a short while ago and he said things like suturing materials which are vital for surgeries, are in short supply, forcing them to put off a number of routine procedures because there might be emergencies where they might need this material. there are things like honey as in newborns, and doctors are having their say to make critical decisions. and they are facing

dilemmas because if they don't operate on it to day, it can become more serious in a few days. the children or the child might have been taken out of colombo, the parents would have to come with all the shortages. so that a critical issues. and this sort of sure, of protest by the medical community is just one of them. and that is something that is being a court around the country, a number of protest in 8 to 10 cities around the country where the mean talents have been blockaded because of fuel shortages and another massive increase in the price of fuel. let's take this home, we can speak to your 100 pereira, who's also colombo. he's executive director of the national peace council of sri lanka whisperer. welcome to the program. are clearly a very critical situation right now in sri lanka, what is it going to take to try to alleviate it? well, i think it is very essential that people should see that the government is responsive

to what they are demanding. and what day the minute, no less than the president and the prime minister, both writers who are presently holding those positions. i think that if you use this crisis but not to really solve it, the president should step down because that's what, that's what the people who owns and the president himself has to not be able to show him on the leadership. and it doesn't necessary to, to go in the country to show his meal, to demonstrate leadership. but he hasn't shown any sign stepping down as a and a lot of pressure to do so. because if he doesn't, then these protest i want to continue because he's protest, i'm not also just out, you know, when you get an idea of the needs of the people,

the hardships that people are going through that message. you're kind of not nines outside your stations. or people not blocking the roads and it really tracks because they're not fuel for them that so and why don't know that recently it is spreading throughout the country. now, if something has to be done and the but here really concerned is that the government might do down using the media of yahoo, that this will not happen, but it only aggravate the company because the very widespread feeling among the people it is not just the image and that's the government tries to make a spectrum at that time say listen to the middle class in the middle, the pharmacy, the pharmacy, the ones with several months ago when, when the president really unbelievably bang, chemical fertilizer feedback. and despite the please of our intellectual,

our professor agriculture, he kept to the mac and a sort of jumping that. what about this offer that he's made to, to reduce executive power by amending the constitution. but that doesn't go far enough, judging by the reaction of the present let i think that lunesta, that reduction of the problem with which people actually supported it, believe it believe in the president didn't believe that he would make a difference. that he would mean that if he said he would clean up the corruption, he would find people on the basis of marriage. none on which it did. unfortunately, he, you know, made me feel because now hi, expectations are and so of wanting would need to reduce the cause of the pregnancy . but actually idea would be to defend entirely because the president sees too much in line with our traditional notions of kingship and everyone who has come to that

position as it has not used in the way for the sake of the people. but it was the one when you and grand i was one of them and for the party. so i think that is absolute but as a 1st step, yes, but i think mr. president needs to resign and i need to do better remove the 20th and then reduce the hours of that. i didn't see need to follow all party government to take the country forward for the next year or so or can then hold the election. amesbury, we're going to leave that. do appreciate your perspective on this. thanks very much . jan. pair these ready army says it has detained 5 palestinians as part of what it's colon counter terrorism activities. another 72 people have been wounded in confrontations with israeli forces in the village of brook troops or supporting settlers on the march to the former illegals. huffman. to pro mesh is regulated in 2005 is part of israel. so called garza disengagement plan and let's cross now to

documented against palestinians by is brady settlers and those incidents have heard more than 340 palestinians a 3rd of those autumn. but which is the village where the confrontations are taking place. today. the tensions clearly very high. one of the risks at this time there is a 1st of all it let's give you some idea of how many supplements are there in the occupied was according to piece now organization. we're talking about more than 680000. a settlers living illegally according to the international law in the west bank is moving between settlements and outposts. we're talking about more than 280 settlements and outputs across and palestinians will tell you that they feel like they are living in islands in between these

settlements. they enjoy infrastructure resources. they take palestinian researchers such as porter as such as the lands obviously. so up there, it's already ascension, on the ground as a result of the current is really escalation and the intensity of how many palestinians were killed and wounded since the beginning of the year. so all of these elements, in addition to the settlers, raising palestinian aside centralised indian villages and lands that palestinians cannot access. all of that could, could, could contribute to hight intention and more escalation or i need it. thanks very much. did abraham reporting well, a 17 year old palestinian girl shot by israeli forces during a raid in the occupied westbank has now died. highland hoarder was injured on saturday, and mother says she'd been on her way to an english class in the city of jenny. at least 21 people have been killed during his reading operations across the west bank

the battle for don bass after it failed to capture key. it's real anchor is heading towards another political crisis less than 24 hours after new cabinet was sworn in opposition. parties are planning to bring down the government u. k prime minister prose johnson is expected to apologize to parliament of being fined by police for breaking his own government's coven 19 lockdown laws. it will be his 1st appearance before mph since being penalized last week. let's go straight away to john hall, who's standing by for us in london, jr. what are we expecting this afternoon? as you said in a couple of hours time this afternoon, barbara johnson will stand up in the house of commons and address m fees for the 1st time about the fine that he received during easter recess. lower one of a number of fines handed out to senior figures including the treasury secretary richie sooner he got one as well until recently thought to be the man most likely to succeed boris johnson. fines of course,

handed out by the metropolitan police in the context of their ongoing investigation into a series of alleged rule breaches. parties that took place in downing street during periods of coven locked out at mister johnson, according to spokesman, is expected to offer, quote, a full throated apology. he will say that people were entitled to expect that they deserved better from their leaders. the people who made these rules, would it be enough for his critics? well, that seems unlikely. we believe the apology will form just a few lines in a much broader statement about the war in ukraine, about spiraling energy costs here at home as one inside. it is reported to have described it. it will be a plea for perspective. yes. rules were deemed to have been broken. no, he didn't at the time, believe he was breaking the rules. but that now overall is not the time for leadership contest, not the time for change at the top. and so,

given all of that is johnson's job under threat, still. the danger certainly hasn't passed for bars. johnson the short term it seems possible. it's not likely that later this week he may folk face a vote in parliament over whether he should be subjected to formal parliamentary investigation into whether he lied back in december. when he said no rules had been broken. there were no parties. that's not a vote that he's likely to lose, but things could spiral further at any moment, frankly, if the metropolitan police issue new fines possibly to mister johnson again, there are at least 3 further events still under investigation at which he was thought to have been present but as a formal sort of coo within his own party, to oust him those letters that m. p. 's need to send in reaching a sufficient level to trigger a confidence vote in him will. that is thought to be on hold until local elections

in may. when the conservative party is expected to do very poorly, if that is the case, it could then be held up as the public's judgment on bar johnson. and at that moment, while his position then could become quite tenuous, never a dull moment. thanks very much gentle reporting that from london a digital rights group has worn the u. k. officials at electronic devices connected to the highest levels of governments appear to have been infected with spice software citizen lamb says the spyware is known as pegasus, and it's a product of the israeli cyber arms dealer en, eh, so group. the watchdog has linked the hacking of devices in the u. k. prime minister's office and the foreign office to en, eh, so clients in the united arab emirates, jordan, and to india. none of those countries has commented and the u. k. government says it doesn't comment on security matters and also denies the allegations. while adam shapiro is a director of israel, palest in palestine advocacy at dawn, he says,

some intelligence agencies need to catch up with software being used by companies like edison cruise. it should be said that citizen with him before has a long track record of credibly proving its allegations with the evidence that find on the devices and what, what is significant about this in this case, although it really isn't surprising, is the extent to which even european governments are using the spyware against their own civil and against political target. we've seen that authoritarian governments are using this. ready fire against political or get. ready stylists, tonight's defenders, people like to know if the shogi founded on. ready the person but what's the government seems to be doing to and not using it to fight crime or to me trafficking. ready other things that the government, the government and the company said this by. ready was useful, i do think that a bit of catch up by some of these intelligent agencies who believe that they have

better system than the private sector and especially in this case within so groups there will also promises made by the group years ago. ready saying that the technology couldn't be used against us phones or israeli. ready phones or u k. ready phone oliver is improving to be bogus. for rights conspiracy. peddling u. s. media company in for was, has filed, filed for bankruptcy, protection after losing defamation lawsuit is founder alex jones has been sued by the families of children who died in a 2012 mass shooting. he said what happened at sandy hook elementary school was a hoax, but he since conceded it was real, a jury will decide how much they should pay. it could be the millions white house as it is disappointed with the court ruling that has struck down a nation wide mask mandate on public transport. a federal judge in florida rule, the u. s. centers for disease control and prevention had overstepped it so

authority comes as new cases are increasing. john hanjin reports now from chicago with new cases rising along with cove in confusion mask mandates in the us or more muddle than ever. in florida, a federal judge appointed by been president, donald trump, on monday, struck down a mask requirement on planes, trains and buses across the us saying the biden administration exceeded its authority. it doesn't matter to me what they do of florida. i'm still going to be, where am i some travellers say they're happy to mask last medical. the white house is it's reviewing that decision. so this is obviously a disappointing decision. the cdc continues recommending wearing a mask and public transit. as you know, this just came out this afternoon, so right now the department of homeland security who would be implementing and the cdc are reviewing the decision. and of course the department of justice would make

any determinations about litigation. the federal government last week extended the transportation mask mandate until may 3rd. the biden administration has not said whether it would appeal. most people are still wearing masks with the airport, but the biden administration says it will no longer enforce the transportation mask mandate. airlines are happy, they've been fighting against this rule, and now they want to return to pre pandemic business. as usual, the news comes is covered cases surge with a new sub very and called b a to reportedly 30 percent more contagious than previous variations following a 2 month long decline in cases. just feel like not mandates or something like people at my school are getting like every day that has philadelphia reinstating its indoor mask mandate at the university of connecticut. once again, masks or mandatory. oh, we all want to be healthy. we all want to go back home. wow. and not get disturbed
