which is down this road. bloody toll case lie on the ground close to the checkpoint, cut from the limbs of soldiers or civilians. injured them like before. a military ambulance arrives, had injured ukrainian. soldier is helped to waiting on me medics who refused to let us vill oh, stop filming. now he says, this greater is from what the ukrainian army say was. a russian rocket landed near another check point on a different road into slough. janski's. it leads to the russian controls. city of ism ukrainian. army says it's holding back at least a 2 if not 3 pronged russian army advance. love janski's, along with neighboring kraemer tools. only a 10 minute drive further south of the 2 biggest cities in the dumbass region. still under full ukraine,

an army control. we drive in detailed the streets of virtually empty the people still here shop at the occasional supermarket, still open. many of the shelves of bare close by we find marina and said a gay circling. you're saying you like, you know, of course we're afraid it's going to happen. the russians are pushing, but we hope the army can protect us and defend the city. we have a basement and that's our only plan. the main thing is that we've sent our children away from a school was damaged when a russian ball blended close by, but sloppy ads because escaped. the heavy rushing shelling suffered by some towns and on it screeching in the evening light, a siren whales warning those who remain to get inside or under ground and almost deserted city in the russian armies. sites just wrap it out to 0. let me

ask us defense secretary lloyd austin says he believes ukraine can win the war with the right equipment and support. austin spoke after he and secretary of state antony lincoln met ukrainian president. a lot of mess lensky in key if they like a fellow nato countries. promised to arrange of heavy and more advanced weapons. despite warnings from moscow on russian media outlets have reported a series of blasts in moldova as a breakaway region of trans nice trip. explosions reportedly happened that the ministry of state of security building the city of harass ball. so far they have been no reports of casualties. transit this year is supported by russia and these on ukraine's western florida. un secretary general is in moscow ahead of a plan meeting with the russian president vladimir putin on tuesday on tenure guitar rash with all sent me to russian foreign minister sort of love before traveling to t. if the summit has been arranged in hopes of pushing open diplomatic channels

between ukraine and russia or diplomatic added to james bass reports, not from the un. the un secretary general meeting with turkeys president owed on in ankara, before flying on to moscow. mister terrace is trying to build on previous turkish diplomatic efforts with a new piece initiative involving direct shuttle diplomacy. first in moscow, and then on to cave. he thinks that there is an opportunity now and will make the most of what we can. a lot of diplomacy is about, about timing, about finding out when is the right time. ah, to add to speak with a person to travel to a place to do certain things and, and he is going in the anticipation that there's a real opportunity that is now building itself. and we'll see what we can make of it. even though the secretary general last week called for truce over orthodox easter, a call that fell on deaf ears,

i call on russians and ukrainians to silence the guns and forge a pass to safety. for so many at the media thrace, the secretary general continues to call for a cease fire, but that's very unlikely to happen. the ukrainians side don't want the conflict to become frozen with russian troops stationed inside their country. and after 2 months of war, moscow's made very limited gains. if, as a truce now, it would be very hard for president putin to declare a victory. my lord, i asked rushes, deputy ambassador to the un, whether a cease fire was a possibility. we don't think that a ceasefire is a good option right now because the only the only advantage it will give it will give her a possibility for agreeing and forces to regroup and prestige. what bro occasions like which i like as well too. so frankly, it's not up to me to decide, but i don't see any reasons on this right now. the conflict has cost many lives. parts of ukraine had been completely destroyed,

living ruined buildings and mangled metal. but despite all this, the guns still seem unlikely to be silenced. yet james bay's al jazeera at the united nations of unease now and twitters board has unanimously decided to sell the company to eat on musk in a deal worth around. $44000000000.00 ask says he wants to unlock twitters potential . make it a platform for free speech around the world. for the companies, current chief executive told staff the future direction of the platform isn't yet clear. gabriel, and he's under reports from new york. the deal is done the month long saga of who will own twitter appears over in one of the largest and most unusual tech acquisitions ever. the board of directors at twitter unanimously agreed to sell the social media company to eli musk for $44000000000.00. up until the deal was announced, there was doubt on wall street. that musk could cobbled together the financing

needed, but he did musk help pay for the deal with $25500000000.00 in debt financing by a group of banks led by morgan stanley. in a press release announcing the deal must talked about improving the platform by getting rid of automated spam accounts and making its algorithms open to the public and authenticating all users. but for musk buying twitter is about free speech, or at least his version of it potentially ending twitters current content, moderation, or stopping the platforming of users to break the rules you on mosque is not buying twitter or financial reasons, although he thinks he can make some money on it, he's buying it for ideological reasons and i think that's the really important part and all this. and that's ultimately what's scary with musk in control. they fear a return to the unruly spread of disinformation on the platform. so as today,

a good day or bad day for twitter users, that is probably the most important question here. and i think it's also the question that's going to be hardest to answer. i think that if he does a lot of the work that has been done trying to protect against sort of normative li, bad speech, such as information and especially he speech that's going to be a bad day for but you know, there's a chance that he takes over and doesn't sort of have quite a sweeping of a reform agenda as he's that he's put forth in over the last couple. it sent it to moultrie response. for twitter. the saw must take a 9 percent stake in the company, making him it's larger shareholder. he was then offered a seat on the board of directors, only to have it abruptly revoked, followed by his cash offer to bar the entire company, all within the last few weeks. ultimately, law must got what he wanted to not only be a twitter user,

but to also be its owner. gabe rosato al jazeera new york was still ahead on the al jazeera, how ukrainians are redefining the national identity. after the russian invasion and coping with cove, with 19 unique challenges faced white people with disabilities. ah hello that much of the weather action across north america is in the east and half thanks to a major storm that sweeping its way towards the north east. it's going to bring some heavy snow to places like ontario and quebec as well as wet weather. now behind it we are going to see bit of a cool down across the south east. but ahead of it, we've had to run the hot and humid weather along that east coast. places like new

york city and washington dc. but as that line of severe storms sweeps its way through, we are going to see a pretty dramatic change in temperature for places like washington d. c. if we have a look at the 3 day, will be 10 degrees lower by the time we get to thursday, but they will still be some sunshine and we'll see sunshine behind those storms for the southeast corner. hot and dry conditions are still persisting for much of the southwest in places like new mexico where we've had a critical fire risk. it's gonna cool down, however, from california, thanks to cool conditions affecting the u. s. north pacific coast. now as we head down to central america, things are looking rather wet for much of mexico. thanks to those trailing storms from the us, gulf coast. we are going to see the heavier falls, however, in the south by wednesday that she weather update. ah, the,

from the al jazeera london, bro cost center to people unprompted uninterrupted. there is a form of knowledge which is kind of not acknowledged. so there isn't only one story to be told, even about colonialism, the other stories thought to if abdur is that gonna? none that all 3 ought to aid we can bring in all of these other qualities are not necessarily structured in the ways that we've been taught them. i feel like that's potentially a really exciting prospect studio be unscripted on al jazeera. ah ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder about top stories this twitters, the board has unanimously decided to sell the company to either must deal with

his service at the orthodox church of saint george in libby has continued for centuries and has not been interrupted by the ongoing war. though it has seen some change the riots are now being performed mostly in ukrainian and not in gushes. i'll observe what are you sure. it's a marble mother. it was decided by the community itself that the service should be exclusively ukrainians. they reject the oars labanic language, which is commonly used by the russian orthodox church. and they want to hear the ukrainian language because they say it feels closer to them. what churchill, trooper in ukraine went around 30 percent of the population speaks. russian things have changed since the russian invasion in february vacation, as many koreans are calling it is spreading fast across the country. even the 3 named after the russian historical figures are now given ukrainian names. it's

about the colonization to have independent country. we have in dependency that we have own history. and so we'll do according to our history, and not that what the fullest on, on, on our, on us, by a huge money all the is called the re, to what russia has presented as a key reason for taking ukraine. if you know the city of much of the city and needs to be raised from start to finish, it's been poisoning the lives of slavic people for 100 years. in reality, russian people, even the name itself, is insulting to be one of the russian peoples. and to suddenly become ukrainians. this idea needs to be totally eradicated, but before we start eradicated them, for us, they have to be convincingly defeated. ukraine society has been a deeply polarized one. but the war with russia has let its people to set aside their differences. and come together to help their country with family envision at

the start of its war in ukraine. russia said it's a, was to liberate the russian, speak in regions of the country and restore the historical ties with russia. but now that go seems too far away. and for most ukrainians, the war has only push them further away from russia. marina shalayna is the software they will offer from ukraine's will ask region, most of which is now on the russian occupation. she has spoken russian her entire life. but now, besides helping to plan an army with fundraising campaigns, she is working to improve her ukrainian. it's not about me you off the road, right. and you to my, you but and all eastern, by the way, options, pekin, eastern thought of, nor spot. i believe it's time to erase from our minds ever since it connects us to them.

the ukrainians may have suffered heavy losses in this war, but they say it has united them in their fight against the invaders and has also led them to rediscover the national identity. said the little turkish businessman and activist osmond casala has been jailed for life after being convicted of attempting to overthrow the government. the u. s. has called the court decision, deeply troubling, while europe's topic caught in the western powers say the case is politically motivated, and accusation firmly rejected by anchor. because he knew reports for miss tumble. well, i really, really calling for justice protesting against a stumble court's decision to jail turkish business men, an activist of monk vala for life. come on, us france cried and hugged as he was convicted of trying to overthrow the

a crackdown on peson under president jeff. taper drums, the courts aggravated blood sentence, for vala must have to find the court of appeal, and then the supreme court. this can take months or longer, but this may not be the end of the process for cabala. if the appeals court overturned the verdict, come follow may be released, spending triumph for now. france and supporters live in hope. however narrow with 2 st, cuz solar sounds a serious stumble. israel says it will. once again, allow palestinian work as merchant to enter from garza on cheese day. the arizona and crossing was shot on saturday to help us rockets targeted southern israel. the firings followed repeated israeli incursions at the alex most compound and occupied east jerusalem. employment in israel is a lifeline for people in gaza, or about half the population is job this. you as president joe biden,

and jordan's king abdullah have discussed ways to reduce tensions at the alex a mosque compound after recent crashes between israeli forces and palestinian worshippers. stephanie decker is in occupied east jerusalem, and looks into the nuances surrounding the status quo. and what it means today, it's one of the world's holiest sites. and recent weeks of once again seen arise, intentions is the holy month of ramadan coincided with a jewish holiday of passover, the number of jewish religious ultra nationalist groups entering the site has increased. some are part of the temple mount movement whose members call for the right to pray on the site. the incursions are protected by israeli forces and seen by palestinians as a major publication. what would take place in small. busy groups and respectfully as well being done in a large group, larger groups, and more provocative, more defiant, and more humiliating for the muslim worshippers. and this is what it's all about.

deluxe the most compound or temple mount. as it's known to jews were certain, ours are allocated during the week when non muslims can enter. but under longstanding agreement between israel and jordan, which is the custodian of the site only, muslims can pray that however, over the years has been an increase in the number of jewish religious ultra nationalists entering the site. quoting for the right to prayer and actively attempting prayers there, and that scene is a gradual erosion of the long agreed status quo. according to these, la mic walketh the jordanian religious trust that runs the site, the number of jewish religious ultra nationalists who access the site in the past year was the highest so far. many try to pray and are sometimes removed by his really lease. this is the weapon ization of faith and religious pyromania in recent years. ah, that's that a school has begun to road and is really policies under danielle

number of drone incidents have occurred, including here at the white house back in 2015 or when to drones on 2 separate occasions landed on the grounds of the white house itself. so there's a lot of concerns, but one must note that this has got to go to congress. congress will have to pass a wide ranging way of legislation. among that legislation will be establishing a national training center to train people in grown detection ways in which to improve drone technology. but also administration officials speaking to reporters make another point which may be one of the motor forces behind this action plan. and that is express concern about the use of drones in the attempted assassination of the iraq, he prime minister in august last year. and the attack on the been as well and president back in 2018. so there's not only

a domestic concern about this. there's also the concern among administration officials about the white spread or possible widespread use of drones. not only in illegal acts such as carrying drugs, but also impossible impossible assassination attempts. activists in the usa, people with disabilities are facing unique and ongoing challenges during the corona, virus pandemic. as alan fish in our reports, they haven't had equal access to services like testing. and that falls short of equality loss this imagine after a long wait, you finally get your hands on a covert tasting kit down with. imagine you've been feeling ill and want to know if you're okay. what now imagine you're blind. it has no markings on it. and again, this is a cardboard box, so um, you know, boxes of band aids have braille on them now. oh, no worries. i did say for many disabled people, the surgeon testing has left them behind. if you're blind,

1000000 people in the u. s. r. then simply what can you know, what to do is a challenge there. we're testing centers that were drive through our own way. and of course, blind people don't drive. we do have as a matter of national public policy, the idea that people with disabilities are supposed to be integrated and included. so why is there nobody thinking about on the front end before things become a problem? endemic restrictions were hard on almost every one, but even more complicated for those who are disabled. that is the americans with disabilities act, the laws intention that every american has the same rights and opportunities as every one else. it gives people a sense of independence and dignity during the pandemic. we have seen all 50 states ah, operationalize what's called a crisis standards of care. and these are standards letter, hospital uses to determine who gets access to treatment in times of shortage of, of medical resources. and so states have used disability as a means of saying,

you know what, your life is not worth living. it's not worth said in, in fact one in for adult americans has a disability disability defined as a physical or mental impairment that impacts a major life activity and long cove. it could see those numbers rise dramatically. you may be seeing people with long corvette who are experiencing things like the t reduced lung capacity, brain fog, as well as individuals who have had significant stress and trauma throughout the panoramic. we're now having to adjust to life with a psychiatric disability. the white house is responded to criticism and made some changes, including recommending to drug companies that they make testing easily accessible for everyone. but things aren't going to change overnight. there will be alive. and that means for people with disabilities, it's going to take longer to get back to normal. alan fisher al jazeera at the
