in as much as $1000000000.00 worth of coal, gas, and oil. but moscow is now insisting customers from what it calls hostile states pay for their gas in rubles, and of switched off supply to the bulgarians. and polls for failing to do so, forcing the you into an emergency meeting on energy security, many or banana companies. i try to make that next payment to cast them in, meet may and are trying to understand better, but they should do. and we need to give them the clarity that bank robbers through their conversion, mcneese 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. so what they want to know who's going to take care of them is they're solidarity in the european union. it's one thing, her salad airy when everybody storage is full. will there be solidarity with storage isn't full, and that's germany, for example, has the biggest storage after ukraine. we know the problem and 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 cold 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 rosen shift 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 the position here dominant came al jazeera in the german capital. now the phones of spanish prime minister, padre sanchez, and his defense minister had been hacked. government officials say pegasus spyware, which is made by the israeli, and a so group was yours to extract information from sanchez's phone at least once. and comes weeks after it was revealed, dozens of political figures in catalonia, were targeted by spyware. while the un secretary general is urging the military leaders of bikini faso guinea and molly to return to civilian rule. antonia gutierrez, made that appeal and is an on the 2nd day of

that may push a quarter of 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 drought has badly affected countries in this a hell, specifically, new share in this is something that president bassoon of news year addressed. news impose 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 deficit. all this happens in a context of rising cost of merging transportation already because of cov, 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 displays in the multi 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, a violence broke out in east european capital at isabella after morning. prayers to celebrate ede protested, threw stones at government buildings and police, who responded with tear gas. people are angry about violence in the north of ethiopia that's led to the deaths of muslims, and the city of gondo, all muslims around the world are celebrating the eat fish are holiday. knocking the end of ramadan with the easing of pandemic restrictions. mass prayers and mosques and celebrations are again a hallmark of the holiday,

is the time to gather and celebrate. and now, so many can for the 1st time in years, laura burton badly al jazeera, near video from china's largest city, has triggered another public outcry as it battles to contain coven 19. now it shows a body bag being removed from a hearse and shanghai. the man inside it was about to be taken to his own funeral. when workers noticed he was actually still alive. he was taken back inside a care home. the local government has confound the incident and the nursing home has apologized for their mistake. while c, steve sang, is the director of the china institute at the school of oriental and african studies. he says the government's coven! 19 strategy has overlooked the needs of residents. well, from what we can't hear, foods are so media. the anger is very,

very strong. anyone tensed people are very upset and angry. not only because they are being locked up, but also because they are not getting essentially supplying nice to meet life lest unbearable when one was locked down in the 1st instanced, war hun receive support from practically all over the country. when cities are locking dungy this year, they are supposed to manage it on their own. and the central government is not willing national resources to support them. it is clearly damaging to the overall reputation of the competence of the communist party in general terms. but it is not going to be very damaging to shooting things. and so, even though the serial co policy is a shooting being policy and he is he who is responsible for the chinese government

will make sure that the claims will be pinned at the local officials, 40 implementation of the policy not on the policy itself. and certainly not when she jumping and the one who challenge that will be suppressed or hundreds of people has gathered outside the us. supreme court. following a leaked draft opinion that it's poised to overturn a ruling which legalized abortion nationwide. the justices are expected to issue their ruling on the case by early july. you're watching live pictures now from outside the supreme court. now neither the supreme court nor the wife house has commented on the authenticity of the lease draft. we'll have more on that for you here on out there as we get it. now, a space mission with a wild 1st difference can we have looked up. ah,

new zealand based rocket lab has launch sits electron rocket taking 34 satellites into orbit. but it's what happened on the way back to earth. it's unique. the rocket was captured as it fell, using a customized helicopter and a parachute. the venture was only partially successful though, because the rocket was later dropped into the pacific ocean. while i spoke to amy thompson, she is a contributor at space dot com and she explained the significance of what the company's achieved here. 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 a 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, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. a group of civilians who escaped the besieged, ukrainian city of maria pole have arrived in the upper risha city. they are expected to be followed by a group of around another 100 people who are trapped from 2 months and the vast.
