the cabbage in 10 to the onion. i don't want to go back to tourism. i want to continue to be a farmer. as the island prepares to welcome visitors again, many say the pandemic has taught them valuable lessons. never forget, ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello there, i'm not clog this isn't use our life and to holley coming up for the next 60 minutes. it is decision time in france will vote is re elect president. manuel micron. all swing hard right for his challenge of marine la pen, ukraine's president renews his call for more powerful weapons as he says the top us diplomat and defense chief a jew and keith. but washington has not confirmed this. a senior crystal has shown

symbol is really believed easter symbolizes the greatest victory of life over death . president zalinski urges unity and resilience is orthodox. easter is observed in ukraine and russia. who driving home the discontent about high taxes, fed up farmers in argentina, ride all the way to the presidential palace. and i'm devin ash, with sport, red bulls, max for sap, and just one the immediate, remind yet grand prix in mila. and tyson fury knox out video white to retain his heavyweight boxing title, but then announces he plans to retire. mm hm. all right, we begin this news with the presidential election in france. spots is choosy whether to re elect president, manuel, micron, or marie le pen leader of the far right national rally party. so fall turnouts is slightly lower than on vote day 5 years ago. that's here now from bernard smith is

reporting from pass voters face a stark choice in france. the 2 presidential candidates are centrist pro european union emanuel macro 44 year old incumbent cast, his vote, and la to k on sunday morning. or they can vote for the far right euro skeptic marine le pen. it's the 2nd time they've gone head to head in a run off. in 2017, a so called republican front helped micron when voters who agreed on little else came together to stop the far right. taking the presidency this year, both candidates want the votes of supporters. a far left candidate, john luke melon, shaun, he won just one percent less of the vote. pamela pen in the 1st round. last a city. she charity matters and the fact that we never tried mat in the pan. i'm not going to hide it. you for me there were 2 options. it was either surviving europe with my crown, or leave in france with mary le pen. the choice was crystal clear for me,

concierge. i think there is an important choice to be made to day. on the one hand, we have a president, that is what it is. and on the other hand, a woman who does not share the same values of democracy. so we must vote against her brothers before somali of another without democracy, think everybody can feel that we are in trouble times are in the world, in friends. so it's important to remember that if we have our one duty and one rights is the rights micron has struggled to shake off a perception, he's aloof. the label president of the rich a stock that's even though data shows all but the poorest 5 percent of french households a better off than they were 5 years ago. the pan has focused on the rising cost of living, one of the main concerns of french voters. she says she'll prioritize french citizens over immigrants for public housing and jobs. and la pan has played down her promise to ban muslim women from wearing had scarves in public. this is the closest the far right is come, winning power in france,

turn out will be important. it's the middle of these to holidays here. many people are away from the place where they need to cast their vote at midday 26.4 percent of those registered to vote cast a ballot. i compare that to 2017. where turn out at this time was about 28 cent burnett's with al jazeera hats escalade. not paris natasha butler standing by and natasha, the french facing start choices. burner was saying, a turnout slightly lower than 5 years ago. we saw the figures fair that burnham mentioned those with figures from mid day a local time in france. we now have the latest figures from 5 o'clock in the afternoon at local time in france. 63 percent of people have turned out to vote. that is 2 points lower than it was for the 2nd round in 2017. so slightly lower. oh, what, what it does mean there is people are going to vote. they're not turning away from

the ballot box and huge numbers because that was one of the fears of some over the past 2 weeks that many people would abstain because they just simply don't relate to either of these 2 candidates. it is a stark choice. we do have 2 very different visions of france for people to choose between. on one hand, you have been company centricity, manual micron, looking for another term. he says that if he is re elected, he will continue with his pro e u. his reformist agenda, on the other hand, to bring the pen the far right leader, her 3rd shot at the presidency. she says that if she is elected, she would put in place a very anti immigration agenda. she was to stop immigration. she wants to launch a referendum on french identity band, the muslim had scarf in public, and she wants to reduce the powers of the european union. so it is a different choice. people are very aware of that. and what we know is so many people feel that they don't necessarily like one candidate or the other. they may vote for one. they may vote for the other,

but not necessarily with much joy part and touch. the thanks for that back with you as the hours go on. the thanks for the time being. the ukraine president is asking. i live for more weapons of voters. lensky said the us secretary of state and defense, are expected and keep on sunday to discuss the need for more powerful arms. the white house has not confirmed the visit. so then sky, also called again for meeting with letting me putin to stop the war. despite saying he doesn't trust the russian leader, he's warned that keith will withdraw from tours with moscow if ukrainian soldiers defending the city of marable or killed the grange. we, in principle appeal to all leaders. we are not a country of tragic selfies. we have a real war, so come to us. we will be happy to meet you, but please bring the help we've asked for unless i do not consider the option that

our partners will not give us the weapons, they promised. i do not consider this option at all. they have no alternative. we will not provide them with this opportunity. we have no other chance twin back our land. well, how did your castros in washington d. c, and has more than that expect to visit by the us as top that per month. and the secretary of defense, snow, surprise, the washington has said no comment. why is that not surprising? well, it's typical that when a senior us official makes a visit to a war zone out of security reasons. typically the public doesn't find out about it until during or sometimes, not even until after the visit has concluded. we know that this is going to be the 1st time that such high ranking us officials have visited ukraine since the beginning of the war. and it is going to be a very symbolic visit. we are having to secretary members who will be there in here on orthodox easter, and this is the secretary of state at the u. s. and the secretary of defense

zelinski had said that he still wants to extend an invitation to us president joe biden. but despite you know, the u. k prime minister being there in person despite other presidents having visited, well the u. s. assessment is that it's still too dangerous to send by an artist and vice president common la harris. and so the visit of these to cabinet secretaries may be as close to a state visit as ukraine can get under the circus. under the current circumstances . chose to join the live now from the city of love. young's can eastern ukraine, which is close to the front line, a chas. tell us about the latest on fighting where you are. yeah, wearing sloppy and squint. she's one of the largest cities that it's still fully on the ukraine in control, in the utah done by some region. it's a city that was briefly taking control of my pro russian san francisco in 2015

before they were forced out by the ukranian army. we've had an air raid sirens and aero showing. we've had a siren going now for a least half an hour. and as you can see, the streets here pretty much empty. most of the civilians in this city have left and the reason is, is because russian force is trying to pushing on. so the answer, both from the north west than those east and the south east, we went to one of the main highways north west of the city. earlier today, i went, it leads to a town. who is you? now is humans under full control of the russian military? as you can imagine, virtually nothing on that road. what so ever on the military vehicles, that area, certainly the area of that road that comes into survivors because it showed bursley every day. we also went to the area north, north, east of the city, in the direction of a town called layman. and can we describe it as some of the heavier shilling that

we've heard? consistent biology is of what we understand to be glad rockets and heavy artillery targeting ukrainian fools is in that village. also a lot of outgoing shilling to. now we know, certainly according to the military that the russians, if not fully control, is certainly contested. i've just lost the connection with charles stratford this, sorry about that. so i will bring him back up as soon as we can now, the mayor's office in mariposa as an attempt to evacuate more civilians failed on saturday because of russian shelling nearly 2000 ukrainian troops and possibly at $1000.00 civilians, a hold up in the steel works which is believed to be encircled by russian troops. adding baba as his report, who has it viewed the video making their way into a dilapidated underground bunker? these pictures are from the, as of battalion of ukraine's armed forces. they appear to show soldiers bringing food for women and children. so though,

but this is somewhere in the as of south steel plants, the last remaining part of mario poll not under russian control. the soldiers say they brought gifts for the kids. but what they really want is to see the outside world that me ranking like a boy. we've been playing games on the phone, says this girl, but we want to go home. we want to see the sun. this girls father worked here. now she and her mother, a sheltering in the bunker, after leaving her grandparents behind. they've been here for almost 8 weeks. a soldier mentioned the possibility of being evacuated to safety. we hope so, we're running out of food, comes the reply. on friday, russian forces took generalists to part of the industrial complex that's been badly . damaged video apparently shows a shell exploding other pictures also showed black smoke rising from the site. most of maria pole has been destroyed by weeks of russian bombardment and intense street fighting as the kremlin set,

the city had returned to normal. some civilians ventured out from shelters by the royal field, a little shea. i've stayed in the basement and everything's been blown out. 3 more shells blasted near by yesterday. only one person was crushed to death. after the risky efforts filed and an elderly woman died, 2, the human cost of the onslaught is still emerging. satellite images just released but taken at the end of last month, a said to show lodge freshly dug trenches in a cemetery, east of maria pole. the local mare has accused russian forces of burying bodies in mass graves. these chechen fighters claim to have cleansed and destroyed maria pull along with russian forces. the video was posted on social media by rums and cut her off head of the republic of chechnya and a key ally to president putin. oh, you don't. but ukraine says, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed here with a 100000 still trapped water. even that yeah. and these children don't know when

they can go home or if they even have one. nadeem baba al jazeera, mozilla, a place i could actually love janski's back up. child stratford is, is there again as a child. you are telling us about the fighting around slogans. that's right specifically. and the town of lee man, which is about 20 kilometers and also here a town that we were literally unable to get to today because the shelling was so heavy we did, however speak to civilians coming out of it. and they began confirming what we could hear saying that they were families sheltering in bunkers. we spoke to one person who described a crater in the center of town that was believe to have been potentially from an air strike. we cannot. busy confirm that and just as indication of this kind of difficulties that people are facing hairs this as it will, continues. there was a young family that will actually trying to get into lehman. at one stage we said, well, where are you going? can you hear the shelling and they said, well,

we have no choice, our home is there and we cannot afford to live into any pro. and that's where they'd fled to. they fled that every once before and now they were going into it. just as it seems, russian forces are making a concerted effort to push towards the city of sla danced where we are now and in other areas. we also know that is ongoing fighting se to fear in a town called pop santa, which we understand is half controlled by the russian forces and heavily contested . and as i say, it's an indication of the russian army trying to surround savanski here as so for so far at least ukrainians ukraine impulses seem to be keeping and keeping them back. but as we've heard from prisoners zalinski time and time, again, this demand from the west and for his partners in nato. he said western supporters for more weapons. i mean, it certainly what we was seeing and hearing today would suggest that that is very

much the case. they are going to need more, more firepower, if firm, if they're going to continue to succeed the way they have in so far keeping what the russians describe is the 2nd phase of this wall for going any further. at least the russians taking more territory in this area or child. thanks for that to just rep reporting that from the pretty much empty streets, the sloppy in east in ukraine. thanks a lot. well ukraine's president vitamins vasquez called for unity and resilience during an address mocking orthodox easter sunday. subdued celebrations, of course have been held across the country and church leaders were asked not together too many people together in case they became a target. lexia brian has this. he has an order, so we'll go and meet in the shadow of war. ukraine's president turned to a building signifying peace caves, 1000 year old st. sophia cathedral, the setting for his latest video message mocking orthodox easter sunday or on will

you oscar senior crystal, his show symbolism, believe easter symbolizes the greatest victory of life over death. each of us is asking god, only one thing. every one says the same words, the words of a great and united prayer. great lord to save you. crane. oh, sunday also marks to months since russian forces invaded ukrainian authorities urged those celebrating the christian festival to follow services online. but some still made their way to church for easter blessings. oh this is boucher outside cave. a town that seen some of the worst violence of this conflict in other parts of the country artillery fire could be heard as easter services were held. ukraine had joined the you in and pushing for an east, a truce, but with no success is saunter severed, near where the sun is shining, and the sky is clear. but there is no peace in my soul. i very,

very much once ukraine to have liberty love and hope or years that the book is so others and the eastern city of separation were too nervous to stay for math. that one is a whole of so we didn't enter the church. we did everything quickly. we received our blessings from the priest and we are now on our way home. the conflict has divided the orthodox church. the russian patriarch and ally of president vladimir putin. his throne, his support behind the war, and used his sermons to justify it. that's angered church leaders in ukraine and others across the orthodox faith. its spiritual leader has pushed for an end to the fighting, calling it an indescribable human tragedy. rushes annexation of crimea led to a part of ukraine's clergy splitting from the moscow led branch in 2018. they are

fee, as the war could further rupture the wider church president of a lot of me as lensky urged ukrainians not to let anger overwhelm them. willie cassandra, so wouldn't you. today's great holiday gives us the great hope and belief that light will win over darkness. good will win over evil life will win over data. so therefore ukraine will win inevitably or g mailed to me. oh, a prayer for peace and hope heard and felt across ukraine. alixia brian al jazeera . let's explore this further. we can speak the country leak who's a senior policy fellow, the european council on foreign relations and is a research on russia, eastern europe, and the baltic region, a joint us from talon via zoom, which is the capital of estonia. at calgary, there were already schisms, as we just heard in that report over crimea, but this is not rupturing with the russian orthodox church. all in on the russian

invasion publicly blessing. the generals echoing what putin's been saying, how serious is this for the broader global orthodox church? i think it is potentially very serious. i can see it goes off it are everywhere going far beyond ukraine. i think in ukraine, the ukraine and branch off our most rational for ducks church is in trouble. they have condemned verbal but even so their position is not most comfortable. but also, for instance, in, in the baltic states in lithia, ania, there is a schism in the fe nan or orthodox church of moscow. patriarchy and also the head of church, has condemned them all. but even so many of the clerics are one term frankly, moscow entirely and go and become so subordinate to constant and opal. so i think many of the docs congregations,

all our world are going to rethink their relationship, live moscow because a lot of people are saying that so the leader of the russian orthodox church that that's patrick carol or he's not engaged in the theology of such. he's just engaged in the supporting the ideology of the russian state. well, the russian orthodox church has traditionally been very close to the states. they have hardly ever harbor. totally different positions may be the exception of served the height of partially perches. but even so in 2014, when annexation of crimea was announced and celebrated in moscow, carrillo made an effort to distance himself from from, but a little bit because he knew that this will signify problems for his church in ukraine. now however, they have almost given up to on, on, but attempt, and they are aligning quite clearly with the state. the thing is, unlike the,

the roman catholic church was led by the pope, of course, that the world wide orthodox church has no single spiritual heard that it split up into these different segments. if you like. does that make it better equipped to survive divisions or in fact more complicated that division is a painful for bell for ducks i that i understand from my own for the extra ones. but regardless of divisions varies at good custom. but the orthodox believers should be able to enter each and every offered looks church and find her solace her. and now that is not the case any any longer. i can see also here in the stony of her instance, the crane adviser chief who arrived here many have asked me, how do i find orthodox churches that are not subordinate to moscow because they don't want to enter the moscow church. so even though you are

right that are being fragment dates might, might have its virtues, but drama off, schism is painful. nonetheless, in finally do, could the leader of the russian orthodox church girl? could he be excommunicated in some way? ah, no, i don't think so. ah, to be honest, i don't know what the megan is about to happen. i would, it would be even theoretically, but in practice i, i don't think that is likely to happen. but it could be that they are losing many of the congregations, but then i'll subordinate to them or i will leave it there for the time being. thanks very much indeed for explaining that her country luca from the european council for relations went along back to the presidential runoff in france. natasha butler joins us live game from paris. the thought revenue

is we're talking talking about vote to turn out a short while ago. it's at 63 percent to 5 coke local time in faults. that's a couple of points lower than it was at the same time in 2017, at the last election. a trend we've been saying over the past few years and elections, people seemingly more and more disconnected from the political process. some people say basically fed up of politics will have been many issues in this election cost of living immigration, the war in ukraine, of course. but i want to bring in our guest now suffer boone, a judge. she's good to talk to us about one of the other issues women's rights suffer. you are a consultant on increased safety. i want to talk to 1st of all about her in my new macro, said that a he was going to make of his 1st 5 years, his presidency. he was going to make women's rights equality between men and women . a rural priority. did he to it? no, he didn't, sadly about he's happy actually about the outcome of these 5 years,

especially. and he was at are fighting for women's rights here in france. he made so many promises and heated in rich the goals. so yeah, it was a big issue for like the election right now. and he also said again that if he's elected he's, it's going to be one of the main topic of his presidential term. but we don't really believe it any more. are we lost hope and he was supposed to gave an allocate more budget to this fights for women's right. and he didn't sadly, so on any scale we are disappointed and, and we have seen so many issues with gender based violence, especially during choir quarantine. we also have seen him supporting his minister of the interior of there's a that was accuse of rate. so he didn't handle well these situations. and now everyone is losing hope regarding his program was about his rival in his race,

marine the pan. she wants to be frances 1st female president, would that make much difference in terms of women's rights and fonts? so what i would say is, it's not because you're a woman that you're feminist. and for so many years, she tried to actually get like far from the image of a woman. so she try to adopt some very assertive, very mentally and behaviors so she can erase this part. and now she's just like surfing on the me to a waves and like feminism being the center of these elections has just surfing on got weight. and that's the main issue because how can you be a feminist if you're also racist? if like, your program is offering measures against a small portions of women, french women, french citizens. and so yeah, she's trying to make people believe that being the 1st female president is going to

be a feminist move. but we don't really trust her on that very topic. well, one of the things she says she would like to do as well if she is elected is ban of the head scarf, thousands of women in public headscarf once again at the center of the debate in france is something we've seen that for so many years what's your response to that? i mean, i'm pretty just straight valez and we are so vulnerable and not a lot of people are giving us the opportunity to speak and to stand up for ourselves. and the subject of the headscarf has been for so many years, the center of political debates without the people who are actually wearing the his job and the headscarf. so yes, we feel very, very, an exposed and, and i don't think that actually we can say that we have place in the political debate, so we can't really express our opinions why separate tonight?

yeah, thank you very much im day talking about a so many people here in france who feels that they are not her do feel that they don't have a voice that's been you could say what are the themes of a some of the voters in this election is something you hear so many times when you travel around france, the people simply feel that politicians ignore them. either way we will know in a few hours who is the next president of france? stay with us. natasha. thanks for that, sir. but with you as the oscar on the voting begin, abbey county begins, i should say, thanks very much. still had aaron out there at the international monetary fund, warns of what he calls a massive set back to the global economy. his back with a bang in brazil, it's possible time again after the demick pauses, the festivities 2 years goes for coming up to 20 minutes. so a full title in a row of the world. 10 is number one. jemma has the action from the stuttgart, grumpy.

ah, now it's never very wet in the arabian peninsula, so to see this amount of cloud around your writing working on. this is really approaching summer. we shouldn't be seeing that much rain. there's quite a few shares in the forecast route, saudi arabia, stretching down to the mountain western side, the yemen. but also may be less typically the eastern side of saudi towards blackraven cutter. certainly iran and rock, i mean this is a good spread of potential showers or thunderstorms. nothing too heavy. i don't think mixed in with it. while the hazy atmosphere, a dusty atmosphere with winds varying in direction is possible. as on tuesday, a shower actually builds over doha unusual event. but generally speaking, we will see temperatures in the high twenty's or late thirties, and things will settle down to iran's forecast looks a bit more typical. 25 degrees, little wind,

and either rain or thunderstorm till next couple of days. that's fine. that's what you might expect. a quick look though at these still while the wet conditions you just briefly saw jasmine, the name cycle, and become unnamed during monday of open water. so as we can tell, it will produce yet more flooding on the eastern side of mozambique, and that it might make landfall as a tropical lo, western madagascar was right in the eastern cave for south africa. ascertaining for that too is clearing away ah, ah, full of struggles my old job, you know. morale would not harming about me all on all the time on either one of them. full of pleasure. hello, margaret, i'm getting with an intimate look at life in cuba today. i don't want to walk on. i know, daniel advisable. my cuba,

on al jazeera a . ah lou. ah,

are you watching out 0 reminder, our top stories is our and ukraine's president has again called for meeting with vladimir putin to stop the war. loderman zalinski is also appealing to allies to send more powerful weapons. he says the u. s. at secretaries of state and defense are expected and keep on sunday. but washington hasn't confirmed this. both contenders for the next president to france voted along with 1000000 to the supporters, which he bid through 2nd term. president manuel macro cost his ballot in list. okay . and far right challenge emory le pen cost her ballot in northern front voter turnout so far is just over 26 percent. but as 2 points lower than 5 years ago. let's take this on. we can bring in that rims that are aloe, and she's a research in comparative law at the university of to lose. let me just ask you 1st will. there in very many minorities in france will be watching these results very closely. can you tell me what's at stake for them? so let's be blunt about it from there about community. again,

especially minorities. i extremely frustrated. they're being vilified for 5 years and even before and now they are being told that they have the same, their rep, blake, all over again. and so there is a lot of frustration and low expectations unfortunately. so i fear that a level of abstraction would be quite important in today for based round of the inaction to very different divisions of france here today. what you think is the most important issue for voters as they've been casting their ballots? well, a couple of them, a social, an economy issue, the rise of unemployment poverty, the decent amount of public services are, you know, issues are really concern of the people with the pandemic as well. but unfortunately, we're focusing on immigration is slammed, the wearing of the headscarf is

a good distraction to distract ourselves from real issues. and people are asking for this issues to be addressed and yet they are being ignored. again, the warrant crime is overshadowed the latter part of this election. of course, it would influenced you think that might bring to bear on how things unfold. well, it's hard to tell a couple of things at the beginning. clearly, my call was acting as the chief of the army is the president. so he was in charge of the war and he'd cast it cuz it sounds some shadow of the pen who is quite non, for her ties to vladimir 14. but quickly, people today are of course, afraid of the war, but more of the consequences we are witnessing for example, right now, shortage goals and product like cooking all and so long. so the effect of the war as starting to show and when you have to choose between

a president who actually will try to do their best to assume the issue or find ways . and a person who is really close to authoritarian, like vladimir 14, i think the choices, you know, pretty easy to make. you talk of that the concerns of people should have over marine the pen. but the thing is that micro implemented the separatism law, which gives government these new powers to close mosques and assert control over religious turn, charges and circle. well, it clearly and put your menu microns administration has been surfing, have been flirting with fire rights rest rate to the call from time you didn't even know who was talking if it was the interior minister diamond that who has be accused over and thomas in bigotry many times and not even the pen, and unfortunately to attract some type of border, especially the most conservative, the, the administration use lupins truck really. so these anti super records and bill is

one of many examples. and you know, the right of the bar, right, did not happen overnight. it was also before my home. and today again, we are paying the price of having the 2nd round, a very dangerous party. so we have been normalized the far right, but the far right is not a normal party and the anti super to him locally makes things worse. and may 1 thing communicate quite general and under the presidency. clearly this will get far worse because she will already have the tools to, to rule like base and attack civil liberties even more. finally, some say the you hinges on the result of this election, but dependents. no longer talking about pulling fronts out of the you or the euro, at least in the build up to this election. you think it be a different story if you want. oh the, the devil is in the legal details. so of course,

my pen is not talking about the fact that any more, especially in the aftermath of the baker of bricks. but to understand that she's really not pro, you have to read her many presto, and all the, the proposal she may, especially regarding a restriction of immigration, national preference, busy nation, be and you saw the citizenship. none of these measures can be implemented without withdrawing from the you and we that with a train for, from most of international treaties, we are part of. so he might not fix it. but and like when you read between the lines, clearly this is the way she was a room cell and appreciate that. thanks very much indeed for speaking, just hit on al jazeera. thank you for having me. now the voting is under way in slovenia and what's expected to be a tight parliamentary election that the right wing, a prime minister young as a young child has cost his balance. he's been criticized for restrict you media.

freedom in civil liberties during the pandemic is challenger is renewable energy businessmen. robert, go up from the freedom movement party. opinion polls suggest they will be no clear winner and a coalition government is expected there. but hear from it niccolini. opposite shoes in the capital of giana, and with more on the election, the civilian society at the moment is very much divided. it radicalized and polarized. so for the new answer today, choosing between 2 different paths, 2 different versions of their future. one version, this is future of their future is cooperation within european institutions and the other one is more in venice for being young within european union. this is the choice between the young as the answer of any on the book craddick party or at all, but go up freedom movement party, yadda, yadda for indian nationalist. he seeking his 4th term as for union. prime minister yansa is a veteran politician fried their case in full union politics. he's

a very much controversial politician. he's a strong ally of gary and prime minister victor oregon. and just like oregon is criticized for autocratic tendencies and autocratic government. on the other side, we have it all ready to go over something completely different, different story. he's businessman manager. he had this with indian state power company for 3 months ago. he decided to enter politics, as he explained because he wants to leave a free and open society. he formed a freedom movement party. unlike young shock, he doesn't want to talk about ology left in the right division. he wants to talk about the economy, about energy, green transformation, green politics, about sustainable development, about health care system, about building new apartments for young slovenia army commanders. in molly say at least 6 soldiers have been killed in 3 separate attacks and 20 security force
