russia already has hundreds of troops. when crazed defense ministry responded on twitter saying, they stopped hiding it. and that russia had acknowledged that the goal of the 2nd phase of the war is not victory over the mythical nazis. but simply the occupation of eastern and southern ukraine, imperialism as it is, though the jabbar is in moscow, and has more on the next phase of russia's military operation. well, according to the acton commander of the country, central military units, the task of the 2nd phase of this 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 saying that this is the number one priority for the russian military. now he also made a comment that is very interesting. at this stage he said that this land court,

or we're also provide a further opportunity for russian forces to get closer to an area in moldova known as trans trans, this trio which is a break away region in moldova, that is alongside the border with ukraine. the area shares about a 400 kilometer to ukraine. and also the idea is that the russian speaking population in that area are in need of russian assistance, according to this military general who was speaking earlier on friday. now this is the 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 areas of and nikolai, as well as a desk in southern ukraine,

where the u. n. has confirmed that had been unlawful killings of civilians in the credit of boucher it says that may amount to war crimes. whatever. hammett has more from future we've been speaking all day with the prosecutors who are investigating these alleged war crimes. we've also been speaking to the police has been digging out and exhibiting 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. we've been hearing that they found several bodies, for example, in the basement of a summer camp that men who were exit cute at point black with their hand side behind their back. we've also been told that they and they showed us pictures quite gruesome pictures of men who had been executed and then burned to their bodies completely charred that were found in another basement. and then there's also we saw some pictures of another 8 men who were also tied up and executed

on the street. so certainly the team we were talking to said that they alone had found 18 bodies. now we are at the morgue. and since this morning, really just had to see families coming to, to try to figure out where they loved one. 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 shot point blank in the back while the you and human rights agency has condemned. would it cause a horrors of the crimes against civilians in ukraine? there is evidence mounting of war crimes being committed to indiscriminate shedding

and bombing off populated areas. summary execution up to the indians. as i said, the vast majority of nations by far are attribute to the russian forces. so if you just look at the civilian casualties bigger, 92.3 percent of what we've managed to record were recorded in government control territories. so attribute to the russian forces, let's say not from across one chair stratford who spent the night at a ukrainian army field hospital close to the front line. we need to warn you that this exclusive report contains scenes of injuries that some of us may find a stretching ukrainian army medics carry a wounded soldier into a field hospital close to the front line. a piece of shrapnel has written through his side. the wound looks small, but the sharp mental franklin inside will kill him. if not dealt with fast. medics pump the soldier with anesthetic and pure oxygen. they practice the wound. he will

be evacuated to a hospital further back from the frontline to have the shrapnel removed. the team say some nights they have to treat up to 70 men will did as they defend their positions against the russian army advance. in a town close by. many of the medics have worked in foreign wars, owns the decades that they never expected one day. they would be saving lives home, many of my whole professional life. i have been treating people. i love people, i love life in all ways. i chose my field because death is the worst enemy russians is worth. the deed is that it turned me to the defender of life into a killer. i have had to shoot in this war. at most likely, i hit the target some medic sleeping rooms next to the makeshift trauma treatment area. before this shift starts, the shelves are full of medicine vital for saving lives,

but it's not medicine. we need. one of the surgeons told me it's weapons. more soldiers arrive, nurses, prepare, re hide ration fluid. others search for veins in the men's arms so they can fit can news, and administer medicine fast. the men are exhausted and dazed. i mean, we have hired and shell shocked, says this soldier, but it's to be expected. it was a phone while most coco put on in the most common injuries are from shrapnel. gunshot wound was blown off lin, brain trauma and shell shock with 3 child shock with simple symptomatic medicines. there's not much else we can do. another soldier is brought him with a gunshot wound under his arm in the medics calmly clean the area. 55 year old louis ma seems relaxed, but the bullet was only millimeters away from potentially ending his life. lubo manager with gunshot wound yesterday afternoon,

the maddox here say he is incredibly lucky. that bullet did not sever the archery in his arm. he will now go from, hey, be taken from here by ambulance to one of the local hospitals. further back from the front line for further treatment. some of the volunteers don't want to be identified because they say russian forces a targeting medics, treating ukrainian soldiers after being treated, louis man eats breakfast while waiting to be evacuated before the war. he was a construction worker renovating the chernobyl nuclear plant. but they're mortar guys can get really close to us and they're difficult to see and shoot. they approach our trenches and throw grenades before lunch. yesterday there were 50 shells that hit near our position. outside the sound of shelling cuts through the early morning light. no one knows how many wounded will be brought to the field

hospital. the coming arrows, charles stratford, al jazeera houston, you cried plenty more still ahead on the news aren't treating. i'm rob rentals in cleveland, ohio with her port on the problem of, of brandon oil and gas wells and how one organization is working to solve a court ruling camps decades of dispute between nicaragua and columbia on maritime borders. it's board action from the clay court tournaments across europe. jemma runs up with so calm has returned to the all acts of most compound and occupied east jerusalem off to violence earlier in the day. is there any force to say most men through stone to the police station and they responded by deploying, take us earlier. they fight rubber, bullets of palestinians,

or the mosque at least $31.00 people were injured, including 3 journalists, and one paramedic. 2 people are in a serious condition, incursions by jewish ultra nationalist group spot. the recent on rest, i'll deserve stephanie deca has 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 a lot of the most compound fires. on the 3rd friday of ramadan, now degraded to lisa have impose your real restrictions on the roads around this area. have been close. interestingly, we were told that they told dia ultra 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 nationalist use accessing deluxe. the mosque, compound,

known as the tempo, mouse to juice. they are allowed to visit for a couple of hours and 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 muslims are allowed to pray their non listen can visit to these rightly and use a calling increasingly for a right to pray. this is causing huge provocations and certainly is wrong. keep saying it is adhering to the status quo, but this is why many people here will tell you that alexa is a red line, but certainly on the 3rd friday of ramadan, for the next 10 days, those groups will not be allowed to visit this site. everything passed very peacefully. although as christians from around the world have been gathering in occupied east jerusalem for easter celebrations, many carried crosses through the streets of the old city to mark good friday. hurry force, it is more. well, this is the 3rd friday of ramadan. you have was the worshippers coming through the o city alleyways towards the deluxe or mosque for friday prayers. but this is

a rare event. 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 settle care where these people are heading for. but after a court verdict, those restrictions have been lifted. and so a good friday is happening as these people wanted to see happen. this is very unusual. if it is something what to kinda say you can 3 more life and then camping for these day. and you cannot deliver because this is probably say for our own saw your noise. something very special. and let's see, this is the cartoon or fall of life. and this is the destination for all of these pilgrimages. the church of the holy subtlety in the heart of the old city where christians believe christ was laid to rest. the concerns about access,

chiefly about what happens on saturday, the holy fire ritual, where usually thousands of people access the church and 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 for all 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 of the is really government saying that they were distorting the truth. so a low ebb in relations, concerns about access. but so far things are proceeding as i have during previous easters. at least at $33.00 people have been killed in an explosion of mosque in afghanistan, that according to the taliban, it happened and come to his province. $43.00 people were wounded and comes a day after a series of bombings across the country killed 18 people. afghanistan's. i saw affiliate claim responsibility for thursday's tax. at the group has stepped up a tax in recent weeks. take this on weekends be to obey de la by here,

who's electra at the american university of afghanistan, and joins us live now via skype. so there's been a run of attacks is know that this latest one, any thoughts about potential responsibility? well, it's unfortunate the killing continues, the fighting continues. are one of the claims at that time it been made was that they had brought these 2 are found a son, and fortunately others used to say that it wasn't peace that had arrived. it was just the absence of war and that could only stay for so long. the idea is that their vacuum available, they're feeling state right now. are all contributors to the situation that are being exploited by groups such as ice key. it said the taliban say they defeated i saw but it's not the case. is it? i'll just repeat that question. i hope you can hear me. i just was asking the taliban say they have defeated eisley,

but it's not the case as it a well insurgencies cost, very little money. so there is a saying that says every day the insurgents don't lose their winning. so the thought upon have to maintain absolute security. that means they would have to get their house in order. they would have to consolidate their political and security off the country. all of those are things that they're being too widely spread to address and it comes at the cost of human lives. there's also an important situation that has to be addressed, which is the disarmament campaign and upon it's done. whereas minority groups such as the has are as used to maintain their own secure, or it, he, when threats where high against them to complement the government's efforts. and unfortunately now that they have been disarmed, they can't even do that. so given all of the how hard will it be for the taliban to get a grip on security? i mean the thought of one have to stop self sabotaging themselves. they have to stop under playing the lives that are being lost only when the situation is

accepted, acknowledged can it be addressed. and that also includes improving its ties with teen to not from community. they seem to have come really close to having some sort of de facto recognition until they stopped of the school opening for girls until they started introducing so many policies that interfere ab into the personal lives of, of land people and taking away their liberties. so the international community and the thought about really need to sit down together, make sure that the state isn't failing, that there is some sort of economy. there's some sort of communication because a vacuum in a plan of sun, a security situation. the plan has done is going to always spill over into the region and that the global hold while i was gonna say, if they don't get a grip what, what is what all the implications for the region and the rest of the world. i mean, further conflict, remember that 911 happened when there was a failing state with enough lana's thought when there was a vacuum of security within

a finest donna and we're approaching that if the international community keeps on talking. the of hon. um, the other one country we will keep having more and more reasons for people to join insurgencies and, and unless the taliban do their bit, the international community sits down, compliments, non taliban dissidence efforts to engage in dialogue with the taliban. we have to make something sustainable out of this because we are currently in the absence of war. we haven't entered beast, we need to go towards a positive piece that is sustainable. that is prosperous for all of lanza, which currently isn't the case weight lab here. we appreciate your time. thanks very much. thank you for having francis presidential contenders have been making their final pitches before sundays. run off vote centrists and come with the men will macro and his far right rival marine le pen about trying to win over left wing voters. hispanic smith, marina pan, has softened her image and concentrated her campaign for the presidency on the sore

saturday. some showers around for that eastern side of the iran also not too far away from cobble with the height of 23 degrees on saturday. but more cloud cover though, for is stumble and maybe the potential is seen as spurts of rain here on saturday as well with the hiv 21 degrees looking good in antalya 27, the number 3 central africa, our usual plentiful storms here, but more intense around coastal areas of gap on cameroon and nigeria. and as we slide toward the south, we may see a tropical cyclone develop in the mozambique channel. either way it's going to spread a lot of rain and wind for northern and central portions of mozambique over the course of the weekend, and also some rain returning for the eastern cape, pushing into quasi luna tall. this includes durbin on saturday with the high of 22 degrees. ah, ah, radicalism is on the rise across the globe. we're told it's everywhere we're told

we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything. but our government policies aimed at tackling radicalization. in fact, pushing youngsters to the fringes of society may impact is you don't have any so much they can take before you say ok. that's me. rethinking radicalization, part of the radicalized series on al jazeera and the vietnam war. the u. s. army used to heidi talks to cover the side with catastrophic consequences. agent orange was the most destructive it's chemical warfare. a decade later, the same happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge, bringing something they didn't even see the kids foot 2 women are still fighting for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. the people versus agent orange. on al jazeera lou.

ah, and i get you watching out the 0 reminder about top stories and ukraine's defense ministry. his accused russia of imperialism after russian general told state media plans to seize all of southern an east in ukraine. that is a far, wide, military aim and acknowledge so far. taliban leaders in afghanistan, so bomb explosion of the mosque and couldn't do his province is killed. at least 33 people. i saw afghan affiliates had claim responsibility for a series of bombings of thursday, which killed 18 both presidential contenders in france have been campaigning for the final time before sundays run off election. president mental macro and is far right. rival marine le pen are trying to win over undecided,

as well as left wing voters. and from the 1st row, ukraine is pushing for more members of the e. u to support a complete ban on russian oil and gas. germany, which is heavily dependent on russian energy, has ruled out an immediate band, but it's promised to end russian oil imports by the years and estonia, latvia and lithuania, halted russian gas purchases at the moment and a drafting plans to make that permanent but hungry has so far stood firm against any oil and gas embargo is demanding to see the ease proposal before deciding whether to move forward with it. been car hole is a senior fellow at the center for strategic and international studies. and he thinks europe's efforts to quickly source gas from alternative sources could adversely affect other nations in need of energy imports. russia, gas, the town for about 45 percent. of the use gas in port cluster and of 4540 percent of total consumption. and so there's no single source that can substitute for

russia gas. it's simply too big. what's happening now is that european policymakers are in a race to prepare for next winter. they want to refill their gas storage as much as possible. they want to secure our g supplies permit, they can from the united states cutter or other sources. and they're looking at ways to reduce their consumption as well. to reduce heating in homes to deploy renewable energy faster. if you deploy, he pumps everything that they can do to lessen the depends on rush and gas. but the reality is not really a one year problem. ready term project when you're eligible, for example, you wants to buy 50000000000 cubic meters of energy from other sources besides russia. don't equivalent about a 3rd what the input from russia last year. that's going to be really difficult and the global gas markets are very tight, very got extremely high prices in europe and asia. and that creates very strong incentives for every producer to cruise out. and all those lines are contracted. so

basically you're going to suck up was much gas, and l g as possible. but to do that, it's going to drive away from other markets. and that could create a real headache for china, japan, south korea, and especially for emerging countries like pockets on the pay very high prices. can people hear it is f, a, the worldwide event event celebrating our plants by diversity. and latin american leaders are meeting in chile to work on implementing a 2018 agreement at the continence 1st climate treating that includes pioneering protections for environmental defenders. latin america is the most dangerous region in the world for environmentalists. hundreds were murdered last year. our latin america editor, lucy newman, is at the summit. in santiago. it is a landmark agreement. first of all, it aims to guarantee access to information guaranteed access to protection and access to justice for environmental activists and defenders. and why is this so

important? because latin america is the most dangerous region in the entire world, for anybody who wants to denounce abuses against the environment, against regulations, dealing with the environment or against their communities, we're talking about. this is home to the amazon basin, for example, the rain forest and a whole series of other economy interests. and there are people who are continually murdering those who are trying to draw attention to these abuses. that is why this is such an important agreement. it has been in the making for a long, long time, but it really still doesn't have the teeth that are necessary because they are reduced 12 very, very important countries in the region who have not ratified that treaty. yet brazil, the largest country in the region, has not ratified a columbia one of the largest countries in the region. and the one with a largest number per capita of activists are murdered. one of the reasons that the government to give, or that the call it has to be ratified by their parliament. so congress is,

is that it could be either considered an infringement on sovereignty because it is a binding agreement, or simply because of pressure from economic interests. and that really seems to be the key for the, for leaders in the region to try to find a common ground with the private sector, particularly both legal and illegal interests. to show that both defending the environment any going on, the growth are not mutually exclusive. well dumbed disuse, the oil and gas wells around the world have been a source of greenhouse gas emissions for decades. and since the fossil fuel era began, millions of wells, of course, have been drilled. but it's real reynolds reports from a higher in the united states. many wells would never property sealed when what stopped the miss ain 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 smell the gas? yeah, but alice smelled it more than i did, but it was definite, it didn't less often. now a team from the non profit, well done foundation is hard at work plugging the leaky well for good. when we're don and we're walking off of the product 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 to have an immediate impact, ah, you'd just stop it. many of the wells that well done has plugged, are in open fields. a cleveland well project is different. we have elderly folks who live right around it. that's a tricky location to reg upon. and 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 especially formulated kind of the men seeley it up forever. and that one well down to 1000000 to go for shock each plugged well is a triumph. hardy, a climb a mountain. it's 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 a victory for the crew, the community, and for the planet. rob reynolds, al, jazeera, cleveland ohio. let's returned to our top story now and a russian general, a telling a state media of plans to seize all of easton and southern ukraine, thus gaining access to mold divers pro russia breakaway region of trends. misfire to discuss maldives concerns with join not by johnson cats. he's the director of democracy initiatives for the german marshall funding of the united states joins us live from washington, d. c. and jonathan kat said festival, this idea that russia now intend to capture the entire south giving this is always

the aim. it is, you know, it's been part of the strategy. i think the initial strategy for mr. cook was, was taking over all of ukraine, including of course, the southern part of ukraine has been particularly important for him to try to secure, to prevent any type of c access black see access to ukraine. so this is derrick, definitely a worse situation to hear russian general talk about more about this land bridge. it could mean that we will see it increase escalation of military and in this space . and it's nothing that the united states, nato european partners of both over and ukraine have to watch carefully. the rest of it talks about how this area of trends this rare in moldova russians and russian speakers, they're oppressed and does that going to bring tree?

this is part of a disinformation campaign that rush it uses to justify its actions. we've seen this in the da boss. we've seen this and other other spaces where russia has used this type of language is the creek next to the use of military. ready force, so there's no oppression of any russian speakers in this space. it's just another example where russia is using this information to try to achieve its military objectives. and so that's what you're seeing. others respond quickly, including the international community, the united states, and others, being very careful about what's taking place model, but also pushing back part against any type of disinformation. whether we hear this type of language in the dom boss or crimea or in other spaces. so that's what makes it so tense is that we've heard this type of language before, including before russia. mr. newton's actions from ukraine on february 24th, right to get even as far as moldova. russia will 1st of course have to take don

barza and indeed the rest of the coastline, including a death. does that possible? what do you know what mr. what mr. prudes my didn't know, charlie, what he wants. do you see the carnage taking place in mario bull? reports of mass graves. he's already attacked all parts of ukraine at one point or another. and so, depending on what the, the objectives are for him, of course, odessa, that part of ukraine is particularly vulnerable. and what's not forget, we have an effect of c blockade already right now of that area which is inhibiting or not allowing any trade to go through ukraine. so it's already had a devastating effect impact and trans economy. and, you know, given mr. cruz track record. everybody's talking about the da boss, but we still see shelling and attacks occurring across ukraine, despite what people are saying right now in moscow and what we're,

what we're hearing in the international press. the drunken cuts a good get your analysis and perspective. appreciate it. thanks a lot. thank you. it's easier for mike kenyon, president mike back he has died. he was 9 years old. good back. he served from 2002 to 2013, but his re election was disputed and led to ethnic violence that last month, catherine sawyer reports not from murphy, why cuba was inaugurated as president in 2002, i've done last night, inexorably, ccci a unified position made it possible to defeat it, then president dangler up boy, after 24 years of work, was seen as moist autocratic will keep back. he was in a wheelchair when he was sworn in pulling a car accident. during the campaign, you suffered a stroke shortly. after he no commission, i am calling up blood, all of you to come out and fight corruption. he was dominant in kenyan

politics for almost 5 decades. for 10 years from 1978. he served as vice president under moines and held various ministerial positions. but he and boy fell out and key bacchus to this presidential candidate in 1992 in 1997 losing both times and saying the elections were rigged on economies by profession as president back he was credited with improving their economy, introducing 3 primary education, launching a new progressive constitution that allowed for devolution and expanding the countries infrastructure he believed in institutions and rather led institutions do their work. ah, well, there was room to delegate, a preferred delegation than doing everything himself. and thirdly, good bye kid did not like chip talk. i,

i've been to that extent he was able to focus on what was important to the public as a whole after dispute at paul in 2007 wiki baki was declared rena post election violence that went on 4 months left. 1200 people that and many thousands displeased politicians from both the opposition and ruling party. what blamed for the chaos into the international mediation? and upon sharing deal to stop the fighting. that was one of the lowest moments of posting dependent kenya under his leadership. we as those who are in charge lost on opportunity to really craft our kenya without negative ethnicity, to bring canyons together as one by the time that a friend a more. so coming the to a 5 referendum become 2 or so read display. some people say the 20072008 election violence overshadowed the good key back his government did in the fast 5

years in office. others argue that he did not do enough to re mean on corruption and tribalism, but mania agreed that when it came to development democracy and the economy, he outs it both his predecessors still ahead here now 0, some study i sent from the n b a playoffs. and one of the biggest come back to let me see that's coming out with jimmy in school. ah ah, with

no scientists have begun a new round of experiments to look beyond the visible and explore the doc matter that makes up most of the universe. the research is happening a large hadron collider in switzerland. the world's biggest particle accelerator has just been restarted after a 3 year refurbishment. sonya viagra has this report. deep within the alps, hive of activity was into action. the large hadron collider known as the l h. c is the world's most advanced particle accelerator. it's a vast machine stretching for 27 kilometers and it has taken 3 years to upgrade it. the l h. c has smashed atoms together to investigate what lies in them. now research is, are hoping the revamp will unleash further discoveries that could unlock the secrets of the universe. for machine as complex as this, it's not a matter of just flipping a button. it involves a series of safety checks and tests to create enough energy that will produce data

for experiments, a process that will take weeks. then the real work begins. and that includes the search for what lies beyond the visible universe. and even more exciting thing is to see if we can find dark matter because this is this cliche thing. if you look to the sky in evening, you see these 95 percent. you see this price percent off. what's out there and 95 percent. you don't see, and this is for us what we call the doctor, and we hope to to, to be able to discover of the existence and how to look for it. also, if the lease, well, the next phase may bring about a discovery that could alter our perception of the universe. events on earth having an impact on what strategy research is or having to take in light of rushes, invasion of ukraine. while son's council supports russian scientists who condemned
