oh, in the vietnam war, the us army used to highly toxic, had the side with catastrophic consequences. agent orange was the most destructive instance chemical warfare. a decade later, the same happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge brain something and they didn't even see the case. the 2 women are still fighting for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. the people versus agent orange and south africa. seeing if i can change. and it shows me that i am actually tracking and fire with africa direct on al jazeera ah,

a 100 civilians have been brought out of a besieged steel works plant and murray or poll. elderly women and mothers with small children were seen being helped out of the rubble of the plant and boarding buses. the evacuation has been done by the un and read to crossing coordination with ukrainian and russian forces. many are expected to go to ukrainian held areas mesh these managed to day. finally, we managed to start the evacuation of the people from as up style. after many weeks of negotiations and many different meetings, people calls countries proposals. finally, there was not a single day that we didn't try to find a solution to ensure the safe rescue of those people to day for the 1st time during this war. this vital safe passage started working 2 days at cease fire on the whole territory, and we managed to rescue more than 100 people, civilians, women, and children who were hiding it as of style. to morrow morning,

100 of the rescued people are supposed to come to the region of separate shya pray to god that they are in that place of safety. to morrow we will ensure all the conditions to continue evacuating people from mary. a poll to morrow at 8 o'clock in the morning. oh, deserves hot abdulla meters in january. sure. where some of the evacuees from murray paul are expected to arrive? well, according to the end, we are not expecting any civilians to arrive here by end of day to day may be to morrow. ah, it did well from what we know is that the evacuation and the safe passage has been put in place since yesterday. that's when the un buses and the teams of both the u . n. and international red cross have arrived in the vicinity of the steelworks. we do know that a number of civilians did come out a yesterday saturday, up to 20 of them. we don't have any figures about how many did come out today if

any at all, or do you and at this point is not giving any details, but it is saying that the operation is continuing. it takes a lot of work. it takes a lot of coordination between the ukrainian side and the russian side, a lot of mediation and a lot of vetting of those who are coming out. so this is going to be a lengthy operation that can take a few days. we probably, at some point going to start seeing buses arriving here in the upper region about a 3 hour drive under normal circumstances. that may be much longer because of the current situation on the ground. but certainly it is a very delicate air evacuation that do you and the red cross are handling and they're trying to give as little detail as possible. but they are saying it is continuing and at the moment seem it's things seem to be going as smooth as it's possible in

a battle ground will ukraine has received its highest ranking us leader, the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi made an unannounced trip to keith for lucy, meant with ukraine's present lot of miss zalinski vine for unbending support for the country. alam fisher has the latest from washington, dc. i 2nd in line to the us presidency, nancy pelosi, the highest ranking us official to visit ukraine. the speaker of the house lay the congressional delegation to keep and spend 3 hours with the ukrainian president flooded me as the landscape not being bullied by bullies. if they are making threats, you cannot back down. that's my view of it that you were there for the fight and you cannot, you cannot sold to a boy were in the us delegation, discussed the big 3 issues for the ukrainians, security, humanitarian support and financial aid. we need this bills for ukraine is way for

freedom. president joe biden is already announced a new $33000000000.00 aid package. senate leader chuck schumer said they're going after russian president vladimir putin friends and allies in the legislation of the $33.00. ready 1000000000, i will be adding provisions that allow us to go after the oligarchs take their money and send it right to your brain. this is the kind of stuff we're talking about. yachts, mansions, at the moment, us can seize assets and fries them. new legislation would make it easier to seize and sell. funneling the money back to ukraine is a tactic used against organized crime in the us. the senate could stop moves on the new package this week. the house is on a break, but could push through any legislation quickly with the support from both parties. joe biden could have a built assign within 2 weeks. i will, fisher, i'll just either washington. let's spend on the issues of seizures. joining me, i live from washington dc. it's not the clinic is

a professor of government and foreign service at georgetown university. could help you with this back on the program. mister craig saying gate and doing it to 2 very different matters. in general terms, how easy is it to liquidate assets from a state seizure? well, this is possible, as you pointed out of your program, and this is something the united states to use before to go against the law country, of course. so the decorative or congress can't do this arbitrarily. but when you have a large bipartisan support for something like we do now with ukraine, and i think there are ways that congress can pass laws that could make this happen quite soon. so i suspect that we will see to make sure the property and inappropriately. so how does the confiscation and sale of such assets differ? when sort of the u. s. in this case, suggest the funds we sent directly back to the you go back to you. crane is,

is it easier said than done as an easy process dollar package of military agents in the past few days. so essentially what the proposed legislation from humor would do and would bring some of these elements together to allow us to see the properties, sell them in markets here and then direct the files to be crated. so not simple but, but not. and we reach some sort of new normal well, i think rather than having them try to reclaim assets after the conflict in likely what the legislation do when would be to allow for an appeals process for a quick appeals process early on so that the 2 are clearly linked to then in those cases they can try to appeal but likely would be over turn quickly. so i think would be better to have the appeals process on the front end on the back end. and again, i suspect that's what we'll see in this legislation. good at your insight of what

may happen, certainly in the future for matthew creating thanks for joining us from georgetown university. thank you. thank you. no rushes, intensifying attacks aimed at seizing more tara trainees. the new crane, the town of dorothea around 50 kilometers from the front line was targeted on saturday. 7 people were injured when a residential building was struck. charl stratford has block of flats. who knows how many people would have been killed if it had been a direct hit? another attack as part of vladimir putin so called special operation in ukraine, wrecking civilian lives. even front doors deep inside the building buckles your life. but i have virtually nothing left. how can i live on? i don't know. that old firmly portrait lies among the rubble of books. her deceased husband used to read, stand to destroy bookcase family members have come to help. look miller. clear. the

the deadly storm of 2 days ago now on this opening up system over the rockies here of the high ground. so once this sherry stuff, not temperatures down the east coast, looking at sunday night already the shower of developing snow on the higher ground still in places like colorado. and that whole system will develop then produce potentially dangerous showers. again through arkansas or texas. maybe the southern states they to part of monday, the still snow in the system. you'll notice the still snow coming into the higher ground in oregon, washington, for example, and british columbia to some degree. and we've had quite active weather recently in the league dolls. and particularly in guadalupe where flash flooding doesn't look much, but it was 2 paces about 2 meters high washed cars away. and here, this is legacy and it's more or less don't raining now. the right now, heavier, further north, further west of the virgin islands, probably cuba on this line stretches down towards costa rica and panama, so that the caribbean is dry. there is certainly wet weather there,

but much the peninsula is quite dry. ah, well temperatures reach minus 35 degrees celsius and mountain road to become barely possible. one small, maybe bus serves as a like line for community facing environmental and cultural change. ah, out, is there a well joined the regulars on board? techie sheen. chi abbas analogies? emma ah ah,
