on many fronts. according to the russian president, he said that to the general prosecutor's office must continue to be vigilant. when it comes to fighting, what he said was provocations against the russian military, and it's so called special military operation in ukraine. he said that the extremism that's coming from the foreign media must be stopped. and also the president accused a, the, as certain members of the, as a special units within russia, trying to carry out an assassination attempt on a very well known russian journalist without naming who the journalist is the president without providing any actual evidence. he said that the m f. s p services in russia have it forwarded an attempt on this journalist life. and he believed that the government in kiev as well as the ca, were behind this attempt. he said that this is yet another example of the united

stratford has more from the men that's close to the front line. you basically have a 3 prong move by russian forces. now, trying to get to the strategically and large city of the events which is connected about 50 minutes drive away from another large city of criminals. now these are 2 of the largest cities still under full ukrainian control in the eastern don bass region. that can be very interesting to see how today's events unfold. we know that the ukrainians are putting out a little fight defending those positions elsewhere in the east. the military or sovereignty in new ganske, the region of lou gantski saying that the whole region now is without electricity. and there is showing ongoing in multiple times when i say towns, these are more like larger villages across the region of lou ganske. and there's also been heavy shilling in the region of the next as well, specifically around the city of the nets,

which we know has been held by separate is forty's, pro russia separately. schools have since 2015 and also a new development with respect to an area called a region called is upper risha, which is frankly a long way away from this eastern section of the country. so there is a gradual we understand a gradual move by motion forces coming out of the east, coming out of the north towards and coming out of a south west towards a fix. cities that have so far not suffered the kind of heavy shilling and heavy bombardment and others have such as to need pro and zach parisha. so that has been a lot going on overnight. and as i say, the ukrainian military in this area, very concerned indeed. i am, i knew my crow has been re elected as francis president. he comfortably beat far right challenger marina pen, but he acknowledged voters dissatisfaction with his 1st term with almost all the votes. counted macro has an estimated 58.54 percent in the presidential run off,

while the pen leader of the national rally party has 41.46 percent. bernard smith reports from paris and manual micro gamble, but a short but intense election campaign would be enough. it was his comfortable margin of victory of marina pan. give him a 2nd term at the lease a palace. only 2 presidents before him have managed that. in his victory speech micron promised that his next 5 year term would be different. so the new vendor set up this new year. it will not be a continuity of the 5 previous years. but they collected invention of a revised method for 5 better years for our country. and all you pay support is this is a win that endorsed is what they believe is that countries roll at the heart of the european union. i'm very happy up to the last minutes. i thought i would have fainted. you never know in light, anything can happen. rosie was ready to get up the day extensions were significant

. i've been a manual macro and that a good job in the 1st years of his mandate and he deserved to lead from again marine la penn gave the far right the highest share of the vote in a french election. but her part to the presidency was blocked again by a republican front. in other words, many voters who support it. other candidates in the 1st round voted this time to keep le pen out. let's not do it, but do the visually. the game is not over in a few weeks will have the legislative elections. ah which as we know are a distortion of the political trend and create a risk of emmanuel mackerel. concentrating all executive and legislative powers. john lew melon, shown the far left presidential candidate, took just one percent less of the vote than the pen in the 1st round. he wants his party, france on bowed to win enough support in the legislative elections. the macro is

forced to appoint him prime minister. yet to should, to all of you, i say, do not resign yourself. on the contrary, go candidly and completely into the action. democracy could once again give us the means to change direction. the war in ukraine and the rising cost of living were main concerns for french voters. both issues will likely dominate the start of microns 2nd term. that probably won't be much like grace period to the present. as usual, on the left many aluminum one voted for him reluctant, her microns promise to raise the retirement age. he'll make it easier to hire and fi work as a reform, unemployment benefits approaches. as god is 1st, i think this could erupt again. furnace me al jazeera, daniel boners, a french m p, and member of the far left party, france unbowed. she says her party is determined to hold mackerel to account. many people don't know that the, there's a 3rd wrong to this election cycle. they don't know that we can actually stop

money on my call for preventing him to implement those anti social and, and see the more credit card policies. and so we have to make sure that everybody's aware how important the belmont reelections are. and also we have to widen and deepen our grass roots movement because that's what made it possible for us to become the 3rd block political block in the political landscape, pre or in france. because when door to door, once in a waking glass areas, we talk to people and that's how we manage to get an increase in participation in the 1st round is result is a one of the worst result. when you combine the blank votes and the app same ship is one of the worst results in the for an elected president. since 9060 mine. and we also knew that 42 percent of the people voted for. he didn't do it for him but

to oppose marcella pen you get what we wanted to have married in the band at the 2nd round and he worked for you and he'd be promoted or written riggs and some measures of our program in order for her to be at the 2nd round because that was the only way it could be to still has on al jazeera. ah, a surprising wind for political newcomers. he declares victory in slovenia, parliamentary elections, feeding the 3 time prime minister. and we go underground in germany as it grades old bunker's bill to protect people from possible nuclear attack. ah, germany has begun the oh, well, coffee is on its way to a package today. well,

the brains of appeared fairly quickly. it's hard to call and plumb rains just yet, but they do have that flavor. it's a line that stretches from southern china up through south korea to japan. orange center means heavy rain. so this can be some flooding from this. that is with a lot of moisture of the western pacific, which is already quite warm. so it's feeding this very happily. it's been warned to the north that beijing is down to $23.00 from its recent journey up towards 30. that's a bit more reasonable winter still around not far away but a long way north and you see that this line of rain waves in tends to move eastwards to the south of it. hong kong catches the very edge of wanted to shout, but look at the temperature is always warming hong kong, but this is now hot and humid. so pretty poor start on wednesday. the sun is out, but it's $32.00 degrees come friday. she's hot for hong kong. and on the subject of temperatures, yes, there on the rise, this is the pre monsoon heat throughout most of india include pakistan to some

the hello again. the top stories on us sector states has russia failing, and it's war in ukraine as any blinking met the ukranian president. and keep on sunday, along with a defense secretary, lloyd austin, during the visit, they also pledged more military supports to the country. blood pollutants of the west is trying and failing to divide russian society. he's just been speaking in moscow. the russian president also said for media outlets are provoking russia, the military, the french president, somebody on my from has been reelected, constantly beating for right challenger marine, the pan a crowns. acknowledge the dissatisfaction with his 1st term, while the pen says she's in a good position for the upcoming for elementary elections. china is racing to track

and cove in 1000 outbreak that may have been spreading in the capital for a week. last testing has begun and beijing largest district chow yang. it home to more than 3000000 people. residents are buying up for items and that fear is widespread. locked down may be imposed. katrina, you has more from beijing, people here and aging our stream, lay anxious and nervous supermarkets across the city, especially in the eastern part, has been stripped of many of their supplies that people panic. buying over the weekend of people think that any day now locked down could be announced. and this is because the authorities in the city said that they were 41 cases reported in child young district, which is actually where we are located in the past few days. now 41 doesn't sound like a very big number, but they say that the situation is particularly concerning because these cases have been, they say, spreading silently throughout the capital over the past week. and because of this,

we've seen 28 neighborhoods put under lockdown that at least 20000 people confined to their homes. 1200 had been identified as close contacts and they were swiftly moved to quarantine centers for isolation. now authorities say that they're going to conduct the 3 rounds of mass testing in china district this week, that's about 5000000 people who have to be tested 3 times over the next few days. and they've also discouraged any form of travel in and out of the city, especially with the upcoming may public holiday, which starts on sunday, which goes for about 4 days and is really typically when a lot of families leave the city for travel. at least 15 soldiers have been killed in attacks and malia and burkina faso. it happened on sunday when the vehicles packed with explosives were driven into military bases. because hawkins a neighboring senegal. and he says, armed groups and molly claims to have captured russian fighters. just recently,

just yesterday we've seen a statement released by this al qaeda, affiliate gelatinous, at least. well, mr. mean, explicitly saying that they have captured several russian fighters. they say linked to the wagner's group, and there is no official video that has been released associated to that. but that's the 1st time that we're hearing from these arm groups saying that that's the case. now, according to the senior french defense or military officials that i spoke to, they know that russian fighters have been captured by these on groups for several weeks now. and this comes on the heels of what the french military say. there is information war that is being played out between the russians and the french that were on the ground. and cotton middle of it, of course, are the 1000000 people. the battle field is no longer just on the ground where there's been attacks, but also on social media. why? well, that is because just last week, the french had handed over

a military camp in go see to the maryan forces a few days later on social media appear to video, claiming to, to show french soldiers burying the these, these people, molly and supposedly, in a mass grave, now the french forces deny that they've released drone footage, showing what they say were the audio analysis people speaking in the local language bum barbara. now, it seems that this was, according to them planted by the russian forces. a verdict is expected on monday, in the case of turkish business man, all spawn corolla who's been in prison for 5 years without a conviction. cavellas on trial, along with 15, others on charges related to protest in 2013. they were initially linked to the development of stumbles. jesse part you faces, life imprisonment if convicted, then of course vocal has more from stumble. oh swan,

kabbalah was the one who organized the gives the protest, a nation wide protest which turned out to be anti government protest in 2013. that's why he's accused of trying to overthrow the got elected government debt, which means targeting the constitutional order and according to turkish law. this crime is described deserves aggravated life sentence. however, there also my osman koala has been behind bars already more than 4 and a half years without any conviction. and his supporters, a, his friends are asking, demanding his release. i have spoken to some judicial sources since friday they, they've been to a but they have been also telling me that i released an acquittal. doesn't seem possible as this file has been criticized by international environment, international organizations, the opposition european council of human rights. a very important international

human rights watchdog, and they believe that they had this case is highly politicized, because uh the government is fry, esper, them. the government is trying to silence the descent. and that's why if a life sentence is given to these people, this can also harm turkeys. relations with the u. s. specially thinking that a turkey's that european council member, a turkey turkey can be suspended, but some argue that says, oh, small comalla has been behind bars for more than 4 and a half years at court, according to turkish laws. a person who is behind bars for 5 years without the conviction can be released, pending gone, trial. elections in slovenia, have delivered a shock and a new prime minister. opposition candidate, robert gallows from the freedom movement party won the most votes. the new comers now expected to form a coalition government. his party won nearly 34 percent of the vote compared to 24 percent for its conservative rivals. if it's

a major defeat for the outgoing prime minister ayana's young child who is accused of pushing the country to the right. jasper lou badge has more from the severe capital lubano. this was supposed to be a ty through between robert get up from freedom moment and prime minister on his down shot by robert. go up one in a landslide. one of the reasons is that he has a lot of new orders who weren't went to the election before. on the other hand, pianist, the answer was criticized for suppress and neither for suppressing civil society and the organization. so civil society are going into the 3 selling people for 12. so the very high thrown out is one of the key issues in the selection in 2018. there was a 53 percent walters coming out. now it's very close to 70 percent is we expect that the robert of the operator for my government with other left and

parties. on the other hand, yanna, sasha will staying a position. he's a political veteran. he's, he will be waiting for his next chance. he was prime minister for 3 times and he couldn't do it the 4th time. so we are expecting that the parliament will have for less parties. it would be easier for, rather go up to form a government. the israeli army says its attack targets in lebanon after rocket was fired into israel late sunday night. they say the projectile landed in an open area near the town of slow me without causing damage or injuries. this flare up comes after 2 weeks attention to the scene, palestinians, and is really forces that they saw last compound. the us presidents has accepted an invitation from prime minister and a fairly bennett to visit israel. the white house says joe biden will make the trip in the coming months. the 2 leaders spoke on the phone about those tensions that they saw. i'm off confound, and occupied east jerusalem. hi, did joe castro's following developments from washington?

d. c. he nor this really side gave any date as far as when this visit would take place. but both countries indeed confirming that by an accepted bennett's invitation. and in that this would happen quote, in the coming months, this announcement of following that phone call between the 2 leaders in which 2 important subjects were raised. one being the tension surrounding the alex mosque in jerusalem, where clashes between palestinians and israelis, security forces since april have led to hundreds of arrest palestinians. and on friday reports of some 57 palestinians, injured by israeli security forces y house, read out of this call saying that president biden told bennett that he was taking note of the ongoing efforts between israeli and palestinian officials to lower tensions and ensure a peaceful conclusion to the holy season of ramadan. now the other topic here, of course, being iran with bennett office saying that he asked biden not to de list that you

ronnie and a republican national guard as a terrorist organization as it's currently listed. now this is a something that is ro considers as the largest terrorist group in the world. detailed at the white house read out of this phone call left out instead saying that biden and bennett discussed the threat posed by ran and its proxies. me corolla has withdrawn from the organization of american states, the government of president, daniel ortega also closed the organizations offices in the capital. the block had condemned ortega's reelection after several opponents were detained before the vote . nicaragua announced it split from what it calls the infamous organization in november, new zealand and australia have condemned russia's invasion of ukraine during a ceremony commemorating anzac day. the service was held at a world war, one battle field in gallipoli,

in turkey. tens of thousands of soldiers from australia and new zealand known as anzac died during the conflict a 107 years ago. and i must, i acknowledge the fact that law has returned to europe and the form of rushes, brutal and the legal invasion of you cried once again, our people, belgians, australians, new zealanders, and our friends and allies, then shoulder to shoulder with one another. and now the po for freedom, democracy and the rule of law of germany is planning to strengthen a system of bunkers after russia's invasion of ukraine. the interior minister, once old basement shelters upgraded the country has about 600 such bunkers. sto, fosten reports from berlin in a city with a long and traumatic war history like berlin,

you don't have to look far to fight old bunkers. in 1977, this subway station was constructed as an atomic bunker to protect 3 and a half 1000 people from a possible nuclear attack by the soviet union. behind his door, the cold war seemed still very real. every people come in here should get a few things which one is which he needs or she needs, ah, 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 weeks, a piece of soap towel, and a boat and a cup. the bunker was designed so people would have enough oxygen, water, and food for 2 weeks, hoping the worst radiation would be gone by then. for decades, the government maintained hundreds of these bunkers. and since 2007, nobody spending a cent anymore because they believed in germany. the threat is over. not

many in germany had expected just a few months ago that something like this would possibly be needed again, an underground emergency kitchen, well hidden behind the concrete walls, but with a threat from russia becoming more real in people's minds. some here realize the country is not ready. not only have old bankers be neglected, many have been sold and found new destinations like this one, which now is a museum for asian art. others have turned into galleries, nightclubs or private houses. the nearly 600 bunkers, the government still owned and not ready for use. according to military experts. it would be reusable, within a particular financial constraints, they're going to have to spend money. this whole thing is a very expensive undertaking. the thought of needing to seek shelter in a bunker field. unreal to some of those who just finished

a tour over there to see how dark it is. how other feeling must been in the war when you hear outside the play and the bomb we've had. so many decades of peace in europe, this is a very difficult situation. i hope there will be a peaceful solution to all of this. even in the heat of the cold war, berlin could only protect 27500 people in its bunkers on a population of 2100000. so the government's plan to upgrade them is seen as a way to reassure its citizens. rather than aiming to offer protection for every one step, fasten elgin's era in berlin. ah, no, we are going to headlines on al jazeera. you are a secretary of state antony lincoln, has promised ukraine's forces of continued support from the white house. he met the ukrainian president in cave on sunday.
