1:03 pm
joins us now from moscow. dorothy, what is largely to come out of this meeting between the un secretary general and the foreign minister to start with what, what does that come with reddish hoping to achieve? well the secretary general has said his main objective is to ensure that there is dialogue and a ceasefire. a he is here on a very difficult mission, but it's a very important one. he is the highest level official to visit moscow since russia launched its so called special military operation in ukraine on february 24th. the un secretary general has said that she wants to try and establish at any kind of a cease fire to end the suffering of the population in certain areas. and also to ensure that much needed aid gets to those people that are in need of it. so according to the united nations, there are now at 7100000 ukrainians better internally displaced as a result of this conflict. and they have an increase their asking their demands of
1:04 pm
humanitarian assistance in terms of financial assistance that they will need to $2250000000.00. so there is a sense that the situation is very urgent and the secretary general also told as the russian foreign minister survey lover of that it's not only as the ukrainian population that is suffering as a result of this conflict. but also, there are other areas in the world that are seeing the effects of this conflict referring to at the high prior posts of food that has increased as a result of the conflict in ukraine. and specifically, he said that in africa where people are already in a very difficult situations. and now this on top of it has created an urgency for the need to end this conflict. now an antonio guiterres will be meeting with the russian president vladimir putin as well later on. and then he will be heading to ukraine to meet officials there. but there is
1:05 pm
a sense that the secretary general feels this was the right time for his visit and that really his mission is very, very important at this stage of the conflict. for now, i think of angels jabari in moscow along the road, russian forces have targeted railways and critical infrastructure in ukraine. moscow is trying to block the supply of foreign weapons and ukrainian reinforcements to the front lines in the east, across the train station near the vive, with one of 5 targets struck by russian missiles. ukrainian forces facing the full mike of the russian military in the east, russian forces pushing south and advancing north from russian back to the separatist controlled. don't ask charles trusted reports from sylvia ask me one of the front lines. a ukrainian military ambulance speeds south towards soviet sc. evacuated civilians arrived in a van. it's a ukrainian army checkpoint north east of the city. the military won't allow us to
1:06 pm
fill inside the vehicle, our spit, lada, delia, as nearly as 86 year old bother. until anita, my husband is still in their home. i bury, afraid for him, said, darling, breaking down to the person in ukraine. what's this water end? says nadia. and we can say that's imputed, stop this dreadful war and put it to the we're hearing a lot of shelling. as you can hear that possibly that shilling coming from this direction. we've also hearing from that direction about 7 cologne, which is not that road is the town of newman. now we, we know that russian forces control a village very close to it. we also understand that most of the civilians have left and the military are telling us that what the russians are trying to do, fly attacking the man is move closer to the city of savanski,
1:07 pm
which is down the road. bloody tony case lie on the ground close to the checkpoint, cut from the limbs of soldiers or civilians injured the like before. a military ambulance arrives, had injured ukrainian. soldier is helped to waiting. all medics who refused to let us fill away. stop filming. now he says, this greater is from what the ukrainian army say was a russian rocket that landed near another check point on a different road into sled ask. it leads to the russian controlled city of elysium . ukrainian army says it's holding back at least a 2 if not 3 pronged russian army advance love janski's, along with neighboring cremmit also only a 10 minute drive further south of the 2 biggest cities in the build bass region. still on the full ukraine and army control, we drive into town the streets of virtually empty. the people still here shop at
1:08 pm
the occasional supermarket still open. many of the shelves are bare. close by we find marina and set a gay shipping. 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 damage when a russian bulb landed close by. but sloppy ads because escaped. the heavy russian shelling suffered by some towns and had on it screeching in the evening light, a siren whales warning those who remain to get him side or under ground and almost deserted city in the russian armies. sites just wrap it out. his era, sloppy adds. defense ministers from 40 countries are in germany and
1:09 pm
a show of strength and support for ukraine. the discussing ways to increase the supply of weapons to keep us extreme defense, lloyd austin pledge to continue support the cube against what he called russia's lawless invasion role here because of your brains, courage because of the civilians who have been know that because of the suffering that your people for country has been rabbit, your hospitals have been bought. your services have been executed. your children have been promised her life instead, boston who that the ramstein airbags in germany step. what are the defense ministers hoping to achieve beyond just a show of unity? are there any concrete sort of pledges that they're expected to give?
1:10 pm
well, this is definitely an unusual meeting here at the ramstein, the air base, the largest u. s. air, but base outside of the united states. more than 40 countries are gathering here or at least have been invited. we don't know if there's going to be any concrete result, but what is for sure is that the u. s. one to prop up its military support for ukraine and not only of us at once, a coalition abroad coalition, from european countries, but also countries outside of nato to help and support ukraine. so when this war, this is exactly what the united states light awesome has said, also ukraine should win this war. so everything that's been discussed here is meant to make sure that there's enough weapons going to ukraine. it's significant to see that the meeting is taking place in germany, especially germany has been criticized widely for not willing to sign heavy weapons to ukraine until last night. even the government was very reluctant, but at the moment this meeting was announced and also was taking place. the german
1:11 pm
government has at will sent happy weapons to ukraine, to a jeep or anti missile systems tanks that can basically also have an offensive significance. so this is a turn around from germany during this meeting, they will announce this, and it's also interesting to see that nato chief yet installed burgers here. so it's a fairly broad coalition that the u. s. has brought together here at robin with russia . sort of warning that this is turning into a proxy war with ne, so other concerns that too much support could, could feel the conflicts go even further. well, this is definitely interesting because the u. s. has very clearly said they want ukraine to win this war and a lot. it's needed a lot of military support as needed. and the u. s. is, has a different position here as the german germany has been quite reluctant as i sat.
1:12 pm
and it's not only because it's a doesn't want to make to be a part of the war. so to say, make sure that they don't have a direct war with russia, but it also has to do with the history here in germany. of course, during the nazi we came to a lot of victims from the soviet said troops. and there's a lot of historic debate about how militaristic germany wants to become. and also shows the chancellor has warned that this could turn into a 3rd world war. and it could be an atomic attack. so there isn't quite a difference among the nato partners about how aggressive nato should be. and that's definitely also on the table here today. all right, for now, thanks for that step fos and there the ramstein, ebay and gemini, explosions of damage to soviet era radio antennas and the breakaway mold. those in region of trans new strip. as a result, the region has raised its terrorist threat level to read and introduce checkpoints
1:13 pm
. the antennae broadcasts russian radio from the village should match the explosions. follow what the security council of the region say were attacks on the state security ministry building in terrible and another on a military units were trans, the st, the russian back to break away region of moldova, bordering southwest and ukraine. about $1500.00 russian soldiers a base there. last week, a senior commander said rushes more in ukraine included a plan to take full control of southern ukraine and improve its access to trends. nice trip. well let's go back now to dos jabari who is standing by again for us and moscow daughter. how concerned is moldova going to be about this attacks in a russian speaking breakaway region? i mean could that, could that spock action from the kremlin? well, we've heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf, just
1:14 pm
a few minutes ago when he was asked about the ongoing situation entranced this year and a pest. gov said that the russians are closely monitoring developments in that region . and of course they are certainly a worrying developments that have been ongoing this. there have been 3 attacks over the past 24 hours in trends. mr. according to the local government officials there now we also have heard from the central government in moldova. and as the president there, she has convened a special emergency session of her security council. we expect the president and maya sand due to make a public announcement a statement in about 2 hours time. so at 13 g m t, about what her government's is going to do about the situation. but it's certainly a interesting and worrying development of the issues that are, that have risen from that area over the past few days. this is
1:15 pm
a region that's home to roughly about 350000 people and shares a 400 kilometer a border with ukraine. so the central government in moldova is taking it very seriously and we understand the regional government in trans this. drea has are also cancelled in person as schools and sessions until the end of the year. so they will go back to remote learning as a result of the results of the situation. and they've also a declared that the terror level to be at read at the highest level that will be checkpoints established throughout the various entry points into that region. and the officials are also holding their own security council meeting as we speak about how to proceed on those to bar their 4th in moscow. thank you. ah,
1:16 pm
a north korean leader kim jong says his country will strengthen and develop its nuclear arsenal at maximum speed. speaking at a parade in pyongyang, kim added that north korea could not limit its nuclear forces to just deterrence. the song 17 was among the missiles on display and said to weep, young biggest intercontinental ballistic missile. north korea says it's successfully launched the weapon in march. one of 13 tests so far this year they doing is to introduce mass testing for most of its 21000000 residents. as authorities struggle to contain a search and corona, various cases, people have been panic buying at supermarkets stocking up on food and essential items. china's capital has rolled out strict measures under the countries 0 covered policy. katrina, you has more from beijing. well, baiting authorities say they found cases in a new district across aging, bringing that person of ac current with ours cases identified here in the capital
1:17 pm
since friday. so what that means that the mandatory testing order has been extended to all district basically will cover most of the people living in beijing. and that includes more than 20000000 people who will have to go from that testing. so far they've tested about 4000000 in this initial round, including myself and our team as well. and we're still waiting on our results from that initial test. now here's the thing. we won't have to do just once this week, not twice. we'll have to do the test 3 times before the weekend. i think that's a recognition that this is the highly infectious on the chrome strain and it's very difficult to catch at time. now, after all those test results, the after those 3 round of test results are discovered and correlated on the weekend. it we're expecting on sunday that authority will make a judgment call as to whether there'll be any lockdown or any further restrictions
1:18 pm
imposed. the economic effects of time is locked down starting to be felt if economic growth cooled and march the national bureau of the test, it says g d p grew 4.8 percent compared to a year earlier. retail sales and down the lowest since april 2020, and unemployment. and it's higher since may 2020. and let's say results for this quarter will be worth since thousands of cities are in full or partial walked down, including world's largest port in shanghai. in the effects will extend beyond china, congestion of ports is forecast to increase shipping costs. consumers around the world can expect inflation and prices to rise. when garrath leather is a global micro economics analyst and senior economist at capital economics, he joins us now from london. thank you so much for your time. what is you will take on what the impact of the lock downs in china and slowing economic growth? what will this mean for consume is not just in china around the world?
1:19 pm
yes. so the only concern is to serious it costs a lot. recently, you've obviously got this on record wave of infections. you've also got a sliding proxy market and also week a global demand in terms of what this means that consumers in the west depends very much on where the china is able to keep its industrial sector. so why looking down certain cities during everything is, can you keep factories running? so we get stories of for example, workers and having daily tests. some workers are actually sleeping in the factories to keep them open. so provided this remains the case of ruddy density last industrial disruption and i think the impact of consumers in the rest of the world should be relatively small. but obviously just given the uncertainty as to how the car, since ration in china comes out, that's by no means assess and the impact of the sort of ongoing attempts to crash covet in china plus the war and ukraine plus rising inflation. what impact do you think all of this is going to have on global growth say for the rest of this year?
1:20 pm
yes. is who is see a major headwind kind of coming out of the pandemic. a few months ago, everyone was very optimistic about the global recovery. but now it is kind of almost spawn $360.00 degrees. you've got higher prices, insurgency from russia, and then the latest from china as well. so we recently cut global growth forecast for this year. by about one percent, which is which is similar to what the i'm asking a will bank with them. and obviously, i think just given you and certainly i think a lot of research now wait to the downside retail sales as we're saying, and china down the lowest since april 2020. what does that say to you about consumer sort of confidence going forward? because it, it seems almost counter intuitive as the rest of the well and sort of looks past the pandemic looks, looks for and into what's going to happen next. you know, we see here that, that retail sales a down in china says, what does that say to you?
1:21 pm
yes. so you basically said to me that china is going to continue with this policy for quite some time, at least, i think. and so the end of the year when you get a big national people's congress from china, than she didn't come present, like any sign whatsoever, that china is going to switch away from 0. when before then, and i think destruction is the service center is going to be quite, quite significant even if you don't get locked down. keep up being very fortunate because they don't want to be anywhere near anybody would say that they're already changed. but if, if sarah code is allowed to remain in place and this destruction i think will last time. yes, i thank you so much. your time off your analysis gas leather global macroeconomics analyst reaction to ill on masks, purchase of twitter has divided social media u. s. republican politicians welcoming the move. some democrats say it's dangerous for democracy to his board unanimously approved the $44000000000.00 deal to sell
1:22 pm
the company. gabriel alexander 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 and twitter unanimously agreed to sell the social media company to even musk for $44000000000.00. up until the deal was announced, there was doubt on wall street. that musk could cobble together the financing needed, but he did. must help pay for the deal with $25500000000.00 in debt financing by a group of banks lead 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,
1:23 pm
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 lee, bad speech such as information and especially he speech that's going to be a bad day for twitter. but you know, there's a chance that he takes over and does in sort of have quite a sweeping of
1:24 pm
a reform agenda as he that he's put forth in over the last couple. it's been a to most us months for twitter. must take a 9 percent stake in the company, making him its largest shareholder. he was then offered a seat on the board of directors, only to have it up roughly revoked, followed by his cash offer to buy the entire company all within the last few weeks . ultimately, eli and musk got what he wanted to not only be a twitter user, but to also be its owner. gabriel is on dough. how does it? new york mosques acquisition of twitter brought a cautious response from the white house. i'm not going to comment on a specific transaction. what i can tell you as a general matter, no matter who owns or runs twitter, the president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms. what they have the power they have over everyday lives. as long argued,
1:25 pm
the tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause he's been a strong supporter, a fundamental reform to achieve that goal. i still don't have a specific comments on this specific transaction. and at this point, we don't have any sense of what the policies will look like. never before has so much media in, so it's been concentrated in the hands of so few people. billing is with power to regulate free speech. worlds which is person considers himself a free speech, absolutist mac could mean loosening the content, moderation policies of the world's most influential social media platform. mark soccer book as i was denied that facebook is immediate company, but it has enormous power of what information and as the presented to it's 2000000000 data uses. facebook already sensors, more speech than any government and history. traditional media, taco, still whole power. after amazon found a jeff pays off, snapped up for washington post in 2013. the papers came profitable in the past and new york times in web traffic. ramesh 3 van is
1:26 pm
a professor of information studies at the university of california. he says the mosque takeover raises serious questions about the future direction of twitter. i think the content moderation aspects are critical, but i think the bigger question is, why is the content that is most viral and therefore most visible online, almost always trending to where he will inflammatory or conspiratorial content. and the reason why is because our anxieties in our emotions are being targeted by social media algorithms, not based on them knowing how we think or feel, but all based on correlation. so they are feeding us content with the prediction of grabbing our attention. and the thing, the graph, most of our attention is hateful or fig, contact. and so he needs to actually deal with the underlying engine, which is the instrument of free speech. to make sure every speeches about not to word have speech, which are these algorithmic systems. what we do know, our big tech companies are the most powerful in the world. they are the media in
1:27 pm
many different countries around the world. and here in the united states and in the northern hemisphere, the influence, the coverage that journalistic networks, like i'll just be around, others actually engage. so here the content that is grabbing people's eyeballs because we're all on our phone all the time and on our laptops, tends to be trans where he's for content, which we thought, you know, connected to the former president of this country, which is why he ended up being the platform that wasn't necessarily the right thing to do, but the goal would be to control content right in any society there is going to be hateful speech. it just shouldn't and dominating our entire lives. otherwise, we're just going to be anxious, emotionally, distraught and more polarized than ever. for people have been killed and several others injured in a car explosion at the university of karate and pockets. don't they say a van with several people inside exploded. the area has been corded off by rescue and security services still ahead on al jazeera

1:32 pm
a lot of us invasion, explosions of damage to soviet era radio antennas and the breakaway mold, oven region of trance. these trio region is now raised its terrorist threat level to read and introduce checkpoints. after moscow's invasion, many ukrainians are choosing to shun all things russian on thing that's changing foster's the use of the russian language results. her dar reports from live the service at the altar. those church of saint george in libby has continued for centuries. and it has not been interrupted by the ongoing war. though it has seen some change in the rights are now being performed mostly in ukrainian or russian. i'm our mother, it was decided by the community itself that the service should be excluded ukrainians. they reject the or sub own language which is commonly used by the
1:33 pm
russian orthodox church. and they want to hear the ukrainian language, because they say, is closer to them. what true to true to in ukraine went around 30 percent off the population speaks. russian. things have changed since the russian invasion in february. throughout the vacation, as many koreans are calling, it is spreading fast across the country. even the 3 named after the russian historical figures are now getting ukrainian names. it's about the colonization to have independent country. we have in dependency that we have own history, and so will do according to our history, not that what the fullest on, on our, on our, by a huge money all the is called 3 to what russia has presented as a key reason for taking you crazy if you know the city of much of the said he needs to be raised from start to finish, it's been poisoning the lives of slavic people for 100 years. in reality,
1:34 pm
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 word with russia has let his people to set aside their differences. and come together to have their country with them. the envision at the start of its war in ukraine, russia fed its aim, was to liberate the russian speaking regions of the country and restore the historical ties with russia. but now the goal seems too far away. and for most ukrainians, the war has only pushed them further away from russia. marina shalayna is a 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
1:35 pm
life. but now, besides helping to plan an army with fundraising campaigns, she's working to improve her ukrainian. it's not about me you after what rush and you to my you, but and all eastern, by the way, oceans pekin, eastern thought of nor spot. i believe it's time to erase from all our minds ever since that 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 discover the national identity. as said, the little turkeys government has denied that the conviction is businessmen and activists. mancha vada is politically motivated. he's been sentenced to life in

1:37 pm
cover law has been behind bars for 4 and a half years has always denied the charges against him, saying they are politically motivated. took his government, denies this, but the european court of human rights as well as activists and turkeys, western nato allies say the trial and the verdict, or part of a crackdown on peson under president jeff taper drums, the courts aggravated blood tension, 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 overturns the verdict, come, follow may be released, spending triumph for now. friends and supporters live in hope, however, narrow view to st, cuz solar sounds a serious stumble. if you refuse to grind, rebels fighting government forces in the no say that made
