hiding it and that russia had acknowledged shut. the goal of the 2nd phase of the war is not victory over the mythical. na seized, but simply the occupation of easton and southern ukraine, imperialism as it is, live to dawson, barry in moscow forest also. tell us more about this latest russian operation and its objectives. well, according to the acton commander of the countries central, a military units at the task of the 2nd phase of the so called special military operation, is to secure the areas in eastern and southern ukraine and to establish a land corridor that would stretch from russia all the way across to crimea, this commander, seeing that this is the number one priority for the russian military. now he also made a comment that is

a very interesting at this stage. he said that this land corridor were also provide a further opportunity for russian forces to get closer to an area in moldova, known as chance trans, this trio, which is a break away region in moldova. that is a alongside the border with ukraine, that the area shares about a 400 kilometer to ukraine. and also the idea is that the, a russian speaking population in that area are in need of russian assistance. according to this military, a pro general who was speaking earlier on friday. now this is a 1st time we've heard about the any kind of aspirations, the russian military would have beyond the borders of ukraine. but also it indicates that there is a possibility that the russians would be looking at the towns and area is us and

nic live as well as odessa in southern ukraine. so not just the areas that we understand. they are looking at a taking control of, of, but also further expanding their reach. and it also indicates that this so called military operation could actually last much longer than many here anticipated. but it's certainly an interesting and important development at this stage. the idea that to there is this, a russian speaking population in trans, this trio, in moldova, that are in need of any kind of russian assistance. of course, this was the narrative that we heard from russian officials in january prior to russian forces entering ukraine. and it's certainly a cause for concern given the current climate that this countries in door. so thank you for that. update. dorsey jabari live there in moscow. meanwhile, the un has confirmed they've been unlawful killing so civilians in the ukrainian

town of butcher. it says that may amount to war crimes. whoa, dr. hamid is in butcher with more. we've been speaking all day. as with the prosecutors who are investigating these alleged war crimes. we've also been speaking to the police, have been digging out and exuding bodies ever since the russians pulled out more than 2 weeks ago. and what do you end is saying goes very much along the lines of what we have been hearing, or we've been hearing that they have found several bodies. for example, in the basement of a summer camp, there are a men who were executed point black with their hands tied behind their back. we've also been told the bay, and they showed us pictures quite gruesome pictures of men who had been executed and then burned their bodies completely charged that were found in another basement . and then there's also we so some pictures of another 8 men who were also is tied up and executed on this tree. so certainly a d,

d t we were talking to said that they alone had found 18 bodies. now we here at the morgue. and since this morning, really you just had to see families coming to try to figure out where their loved ones are. we were speaking earlier to a young lady and she said that her husband had to stay behind because men of fighting age weren't, are not allowed to leave ukraine at the moment. and then as her neighbors told her, well, when he was going out of his house, going to the basement of his has to get some stuff. he was as shot point blank in the back house workers in eastern ukraine save russia is deliberately targeting hospitals. ukrainian health ministry says at least 36 hospitals have been hit by shells close to the front line. soldiers are being treated in field hospitals. those locations are being kept secret to protect them. chart, stratford visit at one such feel hospital in east in ukraine. he told us what he

saw. incredible scenes overnight at as you say, this military field hospital, the sheer dedication and professionalism of the medics. many of them volunteers working there, taking in ukrainian soldiers with a shrapnel wounds, bullet wounds, many suffering shell, shatka. we saw one man who were potentially was gonna have to have both, his legs amputated, the maddox. they're saying that her hospitals are being targeted in these areas where russia has been shelling russians are they say targeting hospitals. this is consistent with what the ministry of health said. yes, the last week saying that at least 36 ukrainian hospitals had been hit by russian shells. suddenly we saw video evidence given to us by a soldier in this field hospital of the hospital in the town that he had been

evacuated from having been wounded. that hospital having been completely destroyed, am speaking to other medics. it was incredible. one man said that since he had been trained as a medic, he'd had decades of experience operating in other conflicts. so when we kosovo, syria, iraq, he said he been trained to save lives, but he said that he was so angry, i want to russia has done here. russia, he said, was turning him potentially into a murderer. because he now was that determined to defend his country. other soldiers that we spoke to describe the scenes in this town that they had been evacuated from. they described real close contact fighting. i'm in this particular town. they said that literally grenade it was it. grenades were being thrown by both sides, it was almost hand to hand combat. and there was one man there who has being treated by a for a bullet wound. the bullet having it miraculous, he said a sniper,

he popped his head up from a trench. a sniper had targeted him. it it ricocheted off the butt of his rifle and gone through the top of his arm. narrowly missing his archery there, the medic said that said he was very, very lucky to be alive. this guy's a volunteer. he had only been fighting for an under a week in this particular location. and just to give you an example of the background of some of these men, this man was a construction work, a working at the channel mil chin novel nuclear plant. before the war started, he was honest, we asked him, are you prepared to go back and fight? he said he will defend his country as much as he can. but he did say that he was torment sized. and he had been incredibly scared by what he said. he said there were, there are lots of russian soldiers in this particular town. and although the ukrainians

were keeping them back and the fighting was incredibly intense. in other worlds, news, tens of thousands of people have flocked to the ox some moss compound, full friday brazen, occupied east jerusalem. this been more than a week of height intentions at the holy site. is there any forces, say, masked men threw stones at a police station, and they responded by deploying tear gas earlier. they fired rubber bullets at palestinians at the mosque, and he said to you on, people were injured, including 3 journalists, and one paramedic. 2 people are in serious condition incursions by jewish alternation. this group sparked the recent unrest. stephanie deka is at damascus. gating occupied east ruskin with more. oh, we are at damascus gate. we've seen a huge number, tens of thousands of worshipers making their way through the morning to access the optimal hours on the 3rd friday of ramadan. now didn't really believe i have

impose your real restrictions on the roads around this area have been close. interestingly, we were told that they told the alter orthodox jews, many of whom use this k to access the old city not to use it today. certainly also a lot of diplomatic efforts behind the scenes to calm the situation on the ground. we've seen an escalation over the last couple of weeks of certainly when it came to the altar far right. we do, nationalists use accessing their locks. the most compound note is the temple mount to use their allow to visit for a couple of hours a for many days during the week. the palestinians will tell you that there has been a change despite the status quo, which is agreed upon by jordan and israel. the only muslim you're allowed to pray they're non muslims can visit to these right wing jews according increasingly for right to pray. this is causing huge provocations and certainly israel keep saying it is adhering to the status quo, but this is why many people here will tell you that alex is a red line. but certainly on the 3rd friday of ramadan for the next 10 days is

groups will not be allowed to visit this site. everything paused very peacefully orthodox christians from around the world, a gathering in east jerusalem for easter celebrations. many carries courses through the streets of the old city to mock good friday. harry faucet has more. well, this is the 3rd friday of ramadan you have was the worshippers coming through v o city alleyways towards the alex, the mosque for friday prayers. this is a rare of at the confluence of 3 festivals for the 3 abrahamic fates, the jewish passover and the orthodox christian easter as well. and so we have these good friday processions coming through the old city as well. there were concerns about possible restrictions to access both to the old city and to the church of the holy sepulchre where these people are heading for. but after a court verdict, those restrictions have been lifted. and so good friday is happening as these people wanted to see happen. this is very unusual. if it is something what

the i say you can dream all life and then camping for this day. and you cannot really because this is, i say for our i saw your noise. thank you very special and let's see, this is the corona fall of life. and this is the destination for all of these pilgrimages. the church of the holy settled in the heart of the old city where christians believe christ was laid to rest. the concerns about access were chiefly about what happens on saturday. the holy fire ritual, where usually thousands of people access the church in the surroundings is really authorities. we're talking about restricting access to quite a low number after the court challenge that has been lifted back to the usual 4000 or so the context rule of this has been pretty bad relations between the church leaders and he's ready government in recent months, the church accusing the government and the police are not doing enough to preserve and protect christian life in the holy city. the israeli government saying that they were distorting the truth. so

a low ebb and relations concerns about access. but so far things are proceeding as i have during previous easters. and if he nor has been held in jeanine in the occupied westbank for an 18 year old palestinian killed on monday, mitchell lanton was shot by israeli forces when they read that i am on town and he died of his injuries of 2 hours ago. this last more head on this sandra 0 and use our well on the campaign trail in france as both presidential candidates repair for this sunday's crucial runoff in sport. a very casual catch by this baseball fan in california. peter has the details coming up ah, to france where the 2 presidential contenders are meeting voters on the last day of campaigning ahead of sundays run off. main le pen has been speaking to voters in

sean hasn't endorsed background. specifically though he's told his voters not one vote to go to the far right. this isn't a very different campaign. local micron compared to 2017, then he was seen as a fresh faced disruptor of french politics. ali beat marine were pen, handily 66 sent to the vote from our home in 2017, where he also benefited from this or they so republican from this idea that people should come together to stop a far right candidate from getting the presidency seems a threat to frances democracy. so people with a vote for micron to stop le pen getting in this time around macro, not as popular. mila pan is running him a much tighter race vantage. thank you for that. bernard smith live in c. jack in the south west of france. let's go now. up north to natasha. battle is in barrett falling man le pence campaign. so what is the far right candidate focusing on on

this last name? natasha well, marina pan has been absent about meeting people at the market. nope. off while i am here in back. i'm on the northern french coast. this is a region of france marion. marion pen knows very well because she has a lot of support here. she's always been very popular here, and that's why she's come to this parsa frauds the last day of her campaign. she wants to be surrounded by people who are likely to vote for her. on sunday, she's been talking to people in the mall case. she's now to medical center talking to health workers. she's been talking about some of that concerns the cost of living. that number one issue in this election that we've heard about. so many times people at the market were talking to the far right. leaders saying that they've really struggled financially in the past few years. she has tried to assure them that she would be the candidate who would do everything that she could to help them with rising prices, cost to fuel the cost of food. and that sort of thing. we're in the pen was also

off to when she was in that market about how she feels looking at some of the opinion polls. who can you pull suggest here in from the gap has widened between macro and the pen micro where the even more of a slight lead or number independent independent. she's run a very strong campaign and she said as far as she's concerned on sunday, people will be choosing between 2 very different visions of problems that will be choosing. she said, between about macro and from thank you for that. natasha butler live for us there in burke. in france. natal additions in china discussing revisions to a law protecting women's rights. this follows anger, respond to by a viral videos showing the pride of a mentally disabled woman was been the victim of trafficking, a warning. some of you may find images in, katrina use report to 70. 0, it started with this video, images of a woman in a dirty shed, wearing

a chain around her neck. the woman named young, known as little plum. flower had been traffic and sold twice as bright. in the 1990s, she was found in rural southeast, in china, in january, and had given birth to 8 children with her husband, a farmer who insisted she be tied up for her own good. you as she was in the shadow, they was exposed to the outside, so anybody will pass by that shadow was see her and that see that means that people never thought this was an issue that they need to report to the authorities. the case prompted an anti trafficking campaign, and chinese legislators are now revising a law to strengthen the protection of women. the government says the changes will focus on preventing abuse, sexual harassment, and discrimination in the workplace. but activists say real change depends on how the law is enforced and the yard tensions and more people need to use the law and practice to protect women's rights and interests, including women themselves and others who are responsible for safeguarding women.

agencies need to better enforce this law. female victims who su for sexual assault are rarely successful. in september, georgia, when a leading figure in china's mil to movement lost her case against broadcasted june june. due to what the court said was insufficient evidence. and though chinese women are better educated and more highly paid than ever before, females are dramatically under represented in politics or leadership roles. many here fear china's demographic crisis could hurt the fight for willie's right authorities or encouraging birds and promoting messages which may make it more difficult to access abortion and other reproductive services. the amendments to the law will likely be finalized later this year, legislators are pushing for mandatory reporting of trafficking or abduction after widespread anger about miss young's plight. she's now reportedly receiving medical care and treatment for mental illness. several county officials have been sacked in

response and her husband has been arrested. katrina, you al jazeera beijing. or joining us now live from palmer in italy, is lee j jang. jose rights and social commentators. so they're not called for amendment to china's women's rights law, which hasn't been amended, in fact, in 30 years. what, what are the prospects for actual change you think? i think yes, so this 'kay says really show can are rates for many people. so i'm, and i do believe that to the, and the law and we'll spend and china that day. and mom could declare that women hold hot sky, but is the reality far more complicated in the market economy has widened the gap between men and women. right? so this place it showed that there was still problem. there are no but to the

impatient problem. and also that's the corruption right under the protection. especially in the country. i was going to ask you about that. tell us more about the abuse of women and their limited rights, especially in rural areas. it seems how wide spread is, is human trafficking in china, impoverished rural areas. and why is this still happening today? yeah, it is the some shockey i but the problem is not to the good bad not to enough and that because of the family policy, i know that the balance sex ratio. so it's also much cheaper for the promise to buy the wife to buy women after to marry them properly. and also this the local protect them. and the farmers, even though some of them, the leaders, the local. this is illegal, but they, they can more water local farmers than to observe the law. if there was

a legal change, you think it would make a real difference to women in china in such a faster and culturally diverse country. i do believe that 2nd china is the centralized country. the government decides this is very important. i'm china is facing a democratic challenge that women, especially when the city educate women do not want to have produced children. i think that they need take this matter. hopefully, d, from the outrage were seen as a result of this particular case as it influenced policy makers. can it make a difference? i do. in fact, the case come to rise because of the, a re and outrage that internet is still. it's not about the school or platform and the information to part of the local authorities denied that she was a victim of human trafficking, but later because of the letters and speaking to the case,

found out some information. they were forced to mix and looked into it and which led to stacking of the several local officials. thank you so much for talking to us about this leisure jang, a writer and social commentator. joining us there for me to thank you for your time to iraq. now we have frequent attacks in the kurdish region in the north have destroyed livelihoods and force hundreds of families to flee turkey's armed forces from across the border on the lookout for kurdish fighters. the p k. k. but as osama bin javin reports the presence of turkish soldiers, any rocky territory is controversial, both for iraqis and the codes at o. a good green loves his sheep. he knows each one individually. they replaced his human friends when he and his family had to leave their home near the thick border because of the continuing conflict between goodish speaking fighters and the turkish military lesson, we left all our possessions. the village was burned,

banking system. as you know, the sanctions, the maids, the normally mates more difficult, not only the banking facts, but the regular success of both countries. i just want to say that's, that's a better bank. and also bank russian banks were hit by the sanctions. they have branches in conflicts on, in particular or as to baghdad. is better bank of expand. we managed to prolong prolonged of this branch of uncovered found it covered on which allowed us the se. arrange the sell side of the portfolio from the back of it found to the national bank of catholics on the same

it's happening as to alter bank exactly the same scheme that's a branch will be purchased by the national bank of coverage on tv. how about tv? so give it to this question to the soul of rob additional leslie. done a long time in russian or mass media. they were reporting that her exits are accidental for a russian russians, sir, leaving kazakstan the because under the russian, that much media, or we're saying that saw the bill that certain discrimination against the russians in kazakhstan. but now a lot of russians coming to a cause of fun and they feel a very, very comfortable there, if we will. we'll be discussing all these issues will be distorting the real picture right within listening. they're 10 years conference out with their rushes,

foreign minister and his ukraine air cassock. sorry, cause our counterpart more tight to obey d. i a lot of it focusing on bilateral relations between kazakstan and ukraine. sergey lather of did touch on. i'm sorry, cause a fan in russia. so a game of rob did touch on the war in ukraine are briefly criticizing western sanctions against russia because of the conflict will have more on this when more news lines trump country. let's move on to other news. n, it is earth day to day, the world why event celebrating our plan is biodiversity, and which highlights ways to protect it. many say the need to and now is greater than ever because of climate change in other damage to our home. his i environment editor nick clark, planet earth, that's home, and as they say there is no planet b and time is running out to protect it. here's why. this is the man alert observatory in hawaii, whether be monitoring global carbon dioxide levels for more than 60 years. and when

they started back in 1958, scientists recorded c o 2 levels of 316 parts per 1000000. this month, they're likely to top $420.00 parts per 1000000, and that's never been seen before in all human history. and the science is now undisputed fossil fuel emissions are to blame. mankind is responsible pushing temperatures outwards and increasing the number of extreme weather events from deadly heat waves and droughts to catastrophic floods, such as these in the past week in south africa, which killed more than 440 people. and the call for action is growing. we need to increase our investment employment adaptation measures to better serve god communities. ok is the effects of climate change. and the, the most recent united nations reports that there must be rapid, deep and immediate cuts and greenhouse gas emissions. but the question is, will the world act and what the un chief antonio terrorist called

a code read for humanity. and nick has spoken till anger and a sent her c u. n. environment programs, executive director. she outlined the link between the pandemic, the environment, and humanitarian crisis. how economy is based on hydrocarbon on fossil fuels right now? so building that other network will take some time. we missed that train during co, it, we could have used the subsidies for this. we couldn't make them sort of carbon conditional . we didn't, to the extent that we should have now is the time to make this happen. and the truth is that nature is what feeds us, sustains us, gives us the air we breathe, the water, we drink, the food, we eat, the clothes we, where the houses we living. it's not like it's an immaterial thing. and we're making this assumption that nature will just be there, that harvest will follow harvest, that rains will come when they're supposed to, that there would be frost or wins when we used to that the fish will arrive when

they're supposed to, and we can fish them et cetera. well, when we're messing with the system, all of this gets out of whack because we know that climate and other forms of injustice, environmental injustice are leading to refugee crisis. you know, we already know that, you know, we're seeing people that cannot be sustained on the land that they have lived on for generations because of climate change. we're already seeing that people being pushed into poverty because of nature collapse. so yes, that, that just this dimension is critical and no one that we cannot ignore. look, we did not have vaccine, just something as simple as ensuring that the poorest have access to vaccines. we can do that with the plan. and if people think that they can be sitting happily insulated in a wealthy pocket and not be impacted by poor hungry and,

and climate impacts in other areas, their mistaken well the sound speak to chandra bush and who is the chief executive officer international forum for environmental sustainability and technology is joining us from new delhi. thank you very much. they said push on to being with us . so we all know, of course, that concern for and commitment to the planet calls for more than just one day. why, why does this earth day matter, this initiative? what does it matter? what difference does it make in your opinion? i think the team to see it is very important investment in the planet of it been. so the challenges that we have to see and the important stuff now taking care and investing in protecting the budget. you know, so far, all the investment has been more or less about destroying the planet, right? but in the fossil fuel degradation of land cutting a forest species extinction. you know, they all make money and they destroy the plant. so we are making money out of

destroying the plant. what about making some money, creating jobs by saving the planet. so you know, this year, in many ways it is about transition. how do we transition from your planet destroying economy to atlantic city gone. and therefore it is important from that perspective, right? that the 1st earth day was in 1970. how is the engagement different you think now than in the past? what changes, for example, have you noticed in a country like india where you are as it relates to the environment? well, 60 years back, god, today was largely a phenomenon in, in america. i started there, but now both of the and in modern days, celebrated across the world over a period of time these to june 6th, which is environment, day and hour day have become an important part of environmental awareness calendar

in global self as well. so in terms of leach in terms of number of people who are becoming available environment issues, things have changed dramatically over the last 50 years. i'm not sure that these awareness i've got converted into action, but at least from awareness of this perspective, there has been no massive increase in the reach of their environment. what, what are the challenges that you see, especially in the global south and trying to get people to stay in gauge in, in trying to, to ensure that this is not just a social media trent? well, i think the most important change is to change the economy service. you're gonna have to see the gone. you're going to have the same economic principles and all for a different desert. i don't think that's going to work and it will not work in global, not it, not working. so, i'm there for now. as i said,

we now have to talk about an economy. it's been on dition or you know, from a fossil fuel dependent economy to a non fossil economy. but that transition, it will not only be a techno economic transition, it will also be a social advantage. people who are dependent on calling for example, have to be moved out of school to alternate jobs, which are better than people who are right now. you know, engage in intensive agriculture, must be provided alternative so that they can move to sustainable it. so the strongest and the justice element that unit, you know, unit chief just talked about is a very, very important component of, of getting this transition drive, especially in global. so we should not think about transition in which a lot of people will suffer. society will not accept it, so we must think about that transition, which is just which takes care of people and allows people to do something better

than what they're doing on a student, save the planet. thank you so much for talking to us about this chandra bush on our chief executive officer of international forum for environment sustainability and technology. we appreciate your time. thank you. disused oil and gas wells around the world have been a source of greenhouse gas emissions for decades since the fossil fuel air i began . millions of wells have been trailed, but has rob reynolds reports from ohio in the us. many rounds where never properly sailed when work stopped. methane gushes from a well dug more than a century ago and abandoned since the 1950s. 141 cubic meters of pungent greenhouse gas per day. it was recently uncovered in cleveland, ohio, in an apartment complex for elderly, low income residence, many of whom have complained of the smell for years. did you ever sell the gas?

yeah, but others smelled it more than i did, but it was definite. it was often now a team from the non profit, well done foundation is hard at work plugging the leaky well for good. when we're done and we're walking off of the project that we've stopped the emission of 5000 cubic feet of gas per day. you know, you start to multiply that by, by weeks and months in decades. it's very significant. abandoned wells are a huge problem by government estimates. there are more than 2000000 of them in the us, and possibly many more whose locations are no longer known. by some estimates they admit more than $7000000.00 metric tons of greenhouse gases per year. that's the equivalent of burning 30000000 leaders of petrol. this is kind of low hanging fruit if you would. so this is an area that we can take immediate action. so far,

curtis shocks, nonprofit organization has plugged 16 abandoned wells in 4 states. methane is such a, an incredibly harmful greenhouse gas. it is 80 times as destructive as c o 2. and so if you want, you have an immediate impact. you just stop it. many of the wells that well done has plug are in open fields. the cleveland well project is different. we have elderly folks who live right around it. that's a tricky location to rig up on. it's a tricky location to get into. the expert crew applies a seal to the outflow pipe and welds it shut. next they'll drill down to clear debris and dirt out of the pipe, extending far below the surface. in the final step, the crew will fill the well with a freshly formulated kind of the men. feeling it up forever and that one well down to 1000000 to go for shot each plugged well is a triumph. how do you climb out?

and one step at a time. that's really the focus is then that way it becomes something that we can really get our hands around and celebrate victory for the crew, the community, and for the planet. rob reynolds, al, jazeera, cleveland, ohio. it's carnival time on the streets of rio de janeiro with the famous fiesta in brazil is back in full swing after the pandemic cancelled celebrations for 2 years. $7000000.00 visitors were at last con of all this year. individual parties on the sidelines of the main event were initially banned, but the mayor says, police warning forces restriction on the still ahead on al jazeera, some stunning action from the n b a playoffs. and one of the biggest comebacks you'll ever see that's coming up next would be to stay with us. mm
