the temptation is so great. once you have the tool and it's so powerful, it's very hard to detect. it can ex filtrate, massive amounts of information from a phone and a and it so it's destructive. but the temptation to use it in all sorts of ways is almost uncontrollable. so, it is a, a problem that we've seen abuses with activists and journalists, and government officials and members of the judiciary and legislative branches and at all being targeted. now a severe storm that's brought tornadoes as a ripping through the u. s. stage of oklahoma. warnings have also been issued for several towns and the east of the state and and neighboring all console. media have reported winds of 90 kilometers an hour and hail the size of golf balls, at least $7000.00 residents without electricity. meanwhile, wildfires are the problem elsewhere and the u. s. hot dry winds are fueling those

and we need to give them the clarity that bank robbers through their conversion mechanics managed by the russian public authorities. and a 2nd dedicated accounting cast from bank is a violation of the sanctions and cannot be accepted. in essence, this meeting deferred lasting solutions, leaving that option instead for a full e u summit at the head of state level. at the end of the month. the sticking point has been how to help members states who are most dependent on russian energy. how would they want to know who's going to take care of them and is there solidarity in the european union? it's one thing her solidarity when everybody storage is full. will there be solidarity when storage isn't full and that's germany, for example, has the biggest storage after ukraine. we know the problem in ukraine. they should step up and say, we're going to share with you what we can. the european commission is already said . it wants to reduce its dependence on russian energy by 2 thirds this year. but

the german government wants to act sooner, where possible agreeing to embargo russian coal from august and wanting to stop using its oil by the end of the summer, with gas to follow as quickly as possible. which means uncertainty for refineries such as sh, fit in eastern german each year. it processes more than $11000000.00 tons of russian crude oil. it's currently majority owned by the moscow based company are all sniffed in some ways. berlin's changing approach to russian fossil fuels has been a process, not an event. when the war started, ministers avoided encouraging embargoes. but as the conflict in ukraine has evolved, so to has their position here, dominant came al jazeera in the german capital. now new video from shanghai where people have now been unlocked on for more than a month has spoke to public outcry. the video share online shows

a funeral home work as it were moving a body bag from a hearse. the elderly man inside it was thought to have died in a care home. he was about to be taken to his funeral. when the workers noticed he was actually still alive, he was then taken back inside. the local government confirmed the incident and la care home has apologized for them. stay and journalists in uganda, i say it's getting harder to do their jobs because of the government crackdown. they're on descent. as the wild marks press freedom day writes group say it's part of a long running campaign to silence critical voices hurrying. matessa reports for these journalists waking again, that is frustrating and sometimes dangerous. in march, the independent online t. v station was rated by security officials, journalists were arrested for what the government court, cyber stalking and offensive communication. some say they were tortured before being released on bail in thing,

in regards to broadcast with pickens. anything regarding to or office equipment from computers to even mia paperwork even receipts me or was it was it's for you when i mean everything was to him. that's why you to do with clothes because as move our own fine i, i'm sure you saw our team i you do as a to seems at our section. we would do anything. writes groups the keys presidential m a say when the government of silencing critics was saving. he has been in power since 1986. the opposition say he has become increasingly authoritarian, cracking darn voices of descent and harassing independent media outlets that it causes the turks on jan this is a, i think she a failure to appreciate the critical role local media plays in a democracy where this is trinity and governments, tim to think that was generally so media house curves the story that his notes in

their favor. they are fighting them under goodness them. we do not appreciate the critical importance of hording lead us to our account over exposing bus or gross or misuse of office on power. uganda government says it is not trying to muzzle the press, but journalist can't be allowed to publish. false news, commit libel, and fuel incitement. they are not going to call to ignore the media house. oh genesis because they are. so you're talking about is dense his of grain. i'm day security of course is going in there, but it's not targeting the journalist, but some journalist in uganda feel the state is targeting them and they say more needs to be done to respect people's rights to freedom of speech and expression. harder matessa out there. now the un secretary general as adding the military leaders of became a fast so a guinea and marley to return to civilian role. and tanya gutierrez, made the appeal and knew jan on the 2nd day of a visit to west africa. he also called for debt relief and greater investment to

a 1000000000 people into extreme poverty. most of them right here in west africa says that that has also been made worse by climate change. extreme droughts has badly affected countries in this a health, specifically new share, and this is something that president bassoon of new share, addressed. new them pause, faster is if it, today's well compels us to face the effects of climate change that brings about recurring droughts. like the one we're experiencing now, getting to major the deficit. all this happens in a context of writing cost of merge him transportation already because of cove it. and now because of the crisis in europe, fertilizing products have also seen the prices rise. it's a real nightmare for us today. the secretary general will meet those display to in the mall, the burkina faso nice air tri border area. people that have been facing attacks from i'm groups linked to iceland al qaeda, but also from climate change shall then move on to travel to nigeria,

where he'll meet the president hurry and do a few visit there. but make no mistake. the reason for his visit is to draw attention to region that is facing growing instability on multiple front, whether it be on the climate change front on the security front, but also on food front with prices expected to soar as a result of the ukraine. russia crisis, the moslems around the world are celebrating the id alpharetta holiday, mocking the end of ramadan with the easing of pandemic restrictions, mass, prayers and mosques and celebrations are again a hallmark of the holiday nor a bad many reports daybreak and serious it lip city. prayers mount the end of the islamic holy month of ramadan and the completion of a month of fasting from dawn to dusk. 1 ah, lead of fitter is a time to celebrations and respite in

a city that be racked by civil war since 2012. but for some in the countries rebel held north west. it's a solemn occasion. oh, in this historic mosque, in cairo, people arrive on mass for pres and a lot in numbers than have been seen in years due to the pandemic. adieva later on of course, eat prior as a joyce, we're so in the past couple of years, we couldn't enjoy it because of quarantine on a night time coffee. but this year it's different. the day is celebrated with balloons and traditional i 3 quote can muslims usually break. there are madame foss, with the 1st fighting of the crescent moon for most this fellow monday in india. this was cited the next day, leaders from the u. s. and calendar sent that best wishes to more than 2000000000 muslims across the world. muslim americans in my administration have key roles and

34 satellites into orbit. but it's what happened on the way back to earth that's unique. the rocket was captured as it fell, using a customized helicopter and parachute. the venture though, was only partially successful because the rocket was the laser, then dropped into the pacific ocean. while earlier i spoke to amy thompson, she is a contributor at space dot com. and she explained the significance of what the company is achieved. as the rocket was falling through the atmosphere, it was outfitted with some parachutes that were helping to slow it down enough that the helicopter could hook on to it. and although there wasn't something quite right with the connection and they had to drop the booster, it's still a significant milestone because this is their 1st attempt. and they were you partially successful, which is amazing. salt water is very corrosive, and i'm damaging to the parts that the rocket is made out of. so they want to try

to minimize the exposure to salt water as much as possible, which is why this mid air catch was invented, you know, so that, that would avoid the booster falling into the ocean at all. and instead they would, i'm sort of drop it on to the deck of the ship. if you look at space acts, which is the only other company right now that is reusing rockets. the 1st stage accounts for probably about 60 percent of the cost of the rocket. so that's a significant savings when you're talking millions of dollars. ah, and again, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. the 1st group of bacteria from a besieged, still blonde in the ukrainian city of mary paul has arrived in south florida. most are women, children, and elderly people. hundreds more though all still believe to be trapped.
