oh, now to sierra, ah, unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from a london bro casenita on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello i marianna mozy. well come to the muse, our life from london coming up in the next 60 minutes as anger in the us as a lead document reveals, justice is on the supreme court, could strike down a landmark abortion all. it is hard not to feel angry, troubled, deeply disturbed. say, sir, the 1st time in weeks,

the 1st evacuated from the mario pole. still plant arrives safely in the ukrainian sissy of zap morisha. and on price freedom day, our report from mexico where it's been a deadly year for media workers. many mergers go unsolved and are people stand that with the schools and go harlem will reach the champions league final be valerio in the 2nd leg through it runs for through on aggregate sulu bates in paris. ah . hello and welcome to the news hour. we begin in the united states for a leak draft opinion from the supreme court indicates justices will vote to scrap the federal protection of the right to access an abortion. the chief justice has confirmed the draft is indeed authentic,

and has ordered an investigation into how it became public present. joe biden has called the potential overturning of roe. the wade, a radical decision, and a fundamental shift will the 973 ruling recognize that the u. s. constitution's guarantee of liberty protects the right to personal privacy. and a woman's absolute right to an abortion curry, there's at least one abortion clinic in every state. and most women live within an hour's drive of one. but 13 states have already passed so called trigger laws that will automatically ban abortion as soon as ro is overturned, and clinics would likely shut down in at least $22.00 states. while lawmakers plan to either ban or restrict access to abortion, the organization planned parenthood says $36000000.00 women in the us would lose access to a safe abortion. other states have moved to enshrine abortion right. places like vermont, which is approved an amendment to guarantee reproductive rights. this is

a dark and disturbing day for america. last night, a report came out that a conservative majority on the united states supreme court is ready to overturn roe v wade and approved decades of precedent affirming a decades of precedent affirming a woman's right to an abortion. it is hard not to feel angry, troubled and deeply disturbed about what overturning ro would do to women across america. algiers travel chancey joins us now from washington, and we have been seeing these images shap. even now of a furious protest is at the steps of the supreme court and then others who are celebrating, what is the move their off to the leak? is this document i saw under this, this is all here right now. they've been gathering her since that leak of the

preliminary judgment on monday evening, mostly to register their outrage at that judgment that still remains the case of the mode with us to georgia. the people who are shocked by the, the, the preliminary judgment of samuel a liter apparently agreed upon as early as this by for other service justices. although we do keep hearing that they will be accounted for just to, to some point we've seen security been security measures being taken by the police bogus is being stationed with. sure there's exactly going to do, but you can see we've heard that they're all just to see if i could be called to protest all the way. but let's talk to one of the progressive like bo christine falling. you will hear clearly because you're sort of other people here are what did you think of it? we did express a negative ruling from this conservative supreme court. what did you think? what you had just how far it, when i was shocked, i was optimistic that i wouldn't be as bad as it's appalling. why, why is it so?

so given what we know about the school as well? well, the reasoning in, i didn't read the whole opinion, but i read parts a bed and i've read people commenting on reasoning is based on a story, a story of where are rights come from. the from an old english tradition from the 17th and 18th century, what is considered to be firmly rooted in history is our constitution is being read and not everybody had to take well right. in the 17th and 18th century, this is the constitution. so that for a woman doesn't have any rights in the constitution, correct? so one of the things roe v wade stood for was that there were a penumbra of rights in contained in the constitution, although not explicitly named. and that includes the right of privacy and a number of civil rights are founded on that idea. and so this is a terrible injustice. it's

a total assault on women and on equality. but it also portends for future assaults on other are, are gay, marriage and for interracial marriage, there's no end to this, right? i should, you know, what you're selling is very specific country because you actually got, you started on supreme court cases, richer consumer post. so what is the strategy now that human got? this is the final judgment. well, i do think this probably will be the final judge and there are 5. i'm not gonna change. now there's been late. there will be activism at the state level at the national level at the federal level. i think there will be an attempt at to kind of, by roby way so that it becomes federal law the congress a. but now under this ruling,

each date is free to decide whatever they want policy for abortion, including no one person under any circumstance. and i assume that that will happen in all of the red receipts on very much. i'm very interested to get about a legal perspective about me. the human perspective, a member of the u. s. already has the highest medical, the total mortality record of any industrialization in the ready learn. what will happen if abortion is, is made illegal, wasn't always here. what of the law might be people will still try to find abortions. we now see whether it becomes a huge political wedge issue in the coming midterms. some of the democrats clearly have always heard that it might be a much that's one of the reasons why we often hear from outcasts. but i remember codified in the law in the past. brock obama before he became president. so that would be the 1st thing he would hear, but once he got office, he had both houses. it was out of the house. he didn't good and has always been the

stairwell. they quite like having this in my back pocket, especially when they're unpopular, the mitchell up to see their whether they do not to this or actually just a few weeks ago. nancy pelosi, the house majority leader, was, was try to progressive to talking to ocean because she was scared about about frightening away religious conservatives. so we'll have to see whether a big change comes now. this becomes a major issue in this midterm. yeah, thank you very much. for the latest that from washington shebra chance year 14 to las and so now gillian frank is a visiting scholar in american studies at university of texas at austin and has written extensively about the history of reproductive politics. joins me now from richmond. virginia via skype. if i can stop by asking your initial reaction, that this document was leach and the 1st place, obviously there is an investigation underway. but will you quite shocked all or surprised that this and that this draft ruling was made public?

it. thank you for having me. i was surprised to get the news about it last night. i had expected that the decision would be coming any week now, but this was a very unexpected way to learn about how the decision would go down. do you think it's likely to be added to, to reflect a final ruling by the court given that the majority of the justices are conservative? is this going to be codified and enacted into law? i think that the opinion itself is very much in a state of play, but i think we are getting the broad strokes of what to expect. it's hard to know what a final version will look like. there is going to be revisions as they go. and i don't know the motivations or who leaked it obviously. but what we can see is a preview. someone wanted to raise the alarm about what could be coming down the pipe. what was your interpretation of this statement by right wing justice annually. toe saying that roe v wade, the which caused guarantees the right to abortion was agree justly wrong from the

start. and that the u. s. constitution does not prohibit citizens of each state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. a leader has been saying this or something like this really since the 70 years, he has been a long term anti abortion activist. so i'm not surprised for him to take an original s perspective to argue that if rights are explicitly codified in the past, they don't exist in the present. what he's opening up the door for is to roll back a number of rides having to do with sexual privacy, including contraceptive rights. marriage rides, rides to same sex sexual expression. and so what we're seeing here is the thin edge of the wedge, that's going to blow open a number of rights that people of dependent upon to have all sorts of forms of sexual protections and privacy protections. what does that mean for men and women? i think what it means in a number of concrete terms, is that pregnancies that were unplanned, pregnancies, that have become unwanted,

are going to be difficult to terminate in many states of the union. we don't know how capacious these laws are going to be state by state. some of the states have tried to introduce legislation that criminalizes sharing information about abortion, or traveling to seek an abortion. we're going to see how these play out in the various courts. and if they get upheld, but what it's going to mean concretely is that people with unwanted pregnancies are going to have to go through much more difficult processes in many parts of the country, much more expensive processes, much more shameful processes in order to obtain a procedure that is simple, that is cheap, that is very easy to perform in the 1st trimester. and so for those who are seeking abortion, they are being told by the power of the state that their actions are not only immoral but illegal. and they are going to have a many will find it incredibly difficult to fund abortion travel. so the reality

that's coming up is that there is going to be oases where people can get access to medical services and vast swaths of medical scarcity. this is gonna necessitate travel time off from work and huge amounts of investment in time to control reproduction. so in other words, women who are wealthier, those that have the ability to travel and are able to take time off, what will be able to move to another state where they can access abortion care about those that can't will either have to continue with an unwanted pregnancy or perhaps it result to something self induced perhaps use illegal means perhaps travel short term. there are a number of funds and organizations in place to help women travel for abortions to help facilitate information and to make things accessible as much as possible. what we're going to see in the coming weeks and months is whether these infrastructures

that have been put in place over the past decade or up to the task for the huge demand for abortion. so it's unclear how it's all going to shake out on the ground . but i, what i think the reality is going to be is that for some who want abortion, it's going to become impossible. there's been studies of various states where there's medical scarcity that have shown that folks who have sought out abortion have not been able to get it either through waiting times, or just simply impossibility of traveling to nearby clinics. say many ways this is already happening. what we're seeing is an extension of a process has been in motion for decades. so what we've seen since row is an attempt by the anti abortion movement to whittle away abortion rights. it's been a slow moving process that's accentuated over the past couple of decades with things that are called trap laws, which basically make it restrictive and more and more difficult for clinics to operate. we've seen a decline in the number of clinics. we've seen a decline and medical services, and we've seen a decline in the ways in which people can fund abortion,

such as through insurance. what we're seeing right now is a massive acceleration. and in overturning of the law that protected many of the remaining sources of abortion access to now we're going to see really a tipping point. thank you very much. gillian. thank joining us that from richmond, virginia. well, several democratic states all moving to enshrine laws, protecting the right to an abortion on such state as vermont, where keisha ram hinsdale, is a democratic senate reynolds a cardia candidate for congress. she joins me now from burlington in vermont. and can you help us festival on the sand pops are a global audience. why? nearly 5 decades off to the supreme court made that roe vs wade decision. that opponents and supporters of abortion rights is still battling this issue out at the ballot box. and in state legislatures. well, miriam, maybe the best way to illustrate that is to relay that i am

a 35 year old woman of color in the state senate. i am a very rare person in politics. we should look around the country and see how many young women are in office. there is a direct correlation between the reality that there are so few young women in office. and yet we are the demographic that people like to make the most laws about and our bodies. so, you know, we are looking at a crisis of representation that is directly related to bodily freedom. i have been very open about myself accessing in abortion in college. and my life would be entirely different if i hadn't been able to choose my own destiny and to be able to choose my own path to have a family and served in government at the same time. can you tell me more about that decision that you made and the, and how it affected you? yes, you know,

she sharing that story even has been just monumental in terms of having other women be incredibly grateful. and i said how much it means to them that we start talking about this and break the stigma because we know at least one in for women in this country has had an abortion. so, you know, the less we talk about it, the more we give power to the anti abortion movement. but of course it came right back to me. my own experience when i saw the news last night of the lead to memo, i received my abortion in washington dc at the planned parenthood clinic. that's right in the shadow of the capitol. it's quite a lightning rod for people to come and protest. people trying to access abortion, and i just remember throngs of protesters pulling at my clothes, screaming in my ear, and there was one volunteer who found me in the crowd who held on to me and said, i've got you. and got me over the threshold into that clinic. and i can't imagine

if my experience was so lonely and so scary until that one person reached out to, to get me what it must be like to be in a state where now people are being rift ripped off of planes. a bounty is being put on their head. they're being told that regardless of any threat to their own life, the pregnant and she has to come to term. this is not just an attack on abortion. this is an attack on women's health and our fundamental freedoms. i was understand the significance of this draft and the, the consequences that it will have if it becomes all the understanding is that in about half of us states, there are laws that would immediately be implemented that would come into effect straight away. that either prohibit abortion in all instances or severely restrict access to it. and there are no exceptions, for example, for, for rape or incest. that's right, and i think many of us are trying to understand the breadth of impact that this

decision could have. and also, if the nature of the leak now means that so much of this language is cemented in an incredibly extreme place. because what we're learning is that this legal opinion would not just roll back the clock on access to abortion, but access to contraception. and the right to privacy for, for gay men and for l g b, t, community. so we're looking at such a drastic decision when you talk about people's privacy as it relates to roe v wade and other subtle law or what we thought was settled law. and so yes, we are looking at not only everyone's loss of right to privacy and access to health care, but particularly in the case of abortion and contraception. draconian laws that will not take into account whatsoever, rape incest, the house of the mother, even the house of the baby that will now need to be brought to term. we're hearing

horror stories about, you know, if the, if already there was a medical issue and the abortion would have been coming too late. having to bring the term a baby that was going to die within the 1st few days of its life already. so, you know, these kinds of decisions have always been best left to a woman, her doctor, and her beliefs. and now we are meddling, where we had no business and where we have half a century of law telling us that this is not the right thing to do. and not what american, why i ask you, what is congress going to do than to challenge this? could they pass a law to protect abortion access nationwide as a federal law? what are the obstacles to that we learned as the days unfold? id that, you know, so many of the institutions that i think we should question and challenge knowing that they could stop that right to create access to abortion. and that

we have so few options at the institutional federal level. you know, we learned that those choices are very slim, largely again, because of one u. s. senator, who calls himself a democrat from west virginia and is, is a democrat truly in name only. and you know, if senator joe mansion will not agree to stand with a democratic majority and get rid of the filibuster, that means we cannot clarify. rosie weighed into federal law. there are probably going to be opinions coming out about what the president could do with his own executive powers. but knowing that we have a democratic senator not willing to stand with the rest of the democratic majority, means that our choices have been euro quite a bit for action besides changing who is an office in 2022. thank you very much. democratic sanitary, keisha, rom hinsdale, joining us from huntington,

vermont. thank you for having me. watching the news hour live from london much more still ahead on the program. the qur'an rebel group accuses me and mar. forces of planting land mines on their farms. as fighting in the region intensifies and in the n b a playoffs, the top seas may winning starts the conference, sammy's peter will have that story and ah, no more than a 100 people have been evacuated from the besieged city of mary paul. they've reached the safety of ukrainian controlled zap morisha. this group includes women and children who are trapped in mariposa as of style plant for up to 2 months on the continuous bombing. but concerns are still there for the hundreds of others who've been left behind. we've barker reports. ah,

they've been 3 weeks of untold. horace in the bunkers and tunnels of the house of style still works of mary awful. this is the 1st group of evacuees to make a perilous journey from russian controlled territory to the ukrainian controlled city of zap, parisha. and the red cross united nations convoy when you, when you might because you know, you don't understand how terrible it was. you sit in the bomb shelter in a wet basement and everything is shaking like that. and then when we could go up to the surface, i saw it for the 2nd time in a month, a huge crater, 15 meters white, and who knows how deep i am there. but yes, the military did. sure. thanks bizarre. but it was dazzle battalion. so you can imagine what they had, we were told that nobody needed to us. he felt abandoned, that he learned nothing. for the past month, supplies of food and water have been severely rational. adults going hungry for days to keep their children fed. this is

a moment of huge relief. russia said some of our q e 's have been taken to a village controlled by moscow bank separatists and would be allowed to travel to ukrainian held territory if they wanted. but fear is growing for those left behind in the confines of the steel works. soon after the departure of the 1st to vacuum, ease rushing back forces resumed their assault, firing rockets towards the plant. the mayor of mario pul, says $200.00 civilians still remain trapped inside, including several dozen small children as the last remaining area of the city, not under russian control, and the last refuge for hundreds of ukrainian troops who refused to surrender. the rest of my reopen is in ruins. but around a 100000 people remain living amongst the rubble east. when you come on, when you're listening to me on a chip of us, tatiana push line of are no longer flinches to the sound of exploding shells from

spanish. mo, you wake up in the morning and you cry, you cry the evening. i don't know where to go. i am not alone here. imagine a prisoner, everything is destroyed in the field. why should the people go now? here they are sitting with small kids. just in the west of you, craig rushes launch renewed. attacks on the port city of a desert, where you cranial official say a missile had a children's dormitory killing a 14 year old boy. missiles also struck a logistics center used to deliver foreign weaponry. russia so far failed to land troops in the city by sea. but seizing a debtor would give russia control of the whole of ukraine's black sea coast. leave barker o jazeera. in other developments russian shelling had struck the western ukrainian city of la vega. strike appeared to target electricity infrastructure damaging to

sub stations and causing a large fire is, is, may as, as one person was injured and power is been knocked out in several parts of the city or fighting is continuing further east of zap parisha, where russia's assault is slowly grinding forward and is there as charles stratford is an backlit in easton, ukraine. we've been around the city of lissy chance today, a city that is suffering and incredible bombardment of shelling this afternoon. indeed, i drive up to all jets horizon of $180.00 degrees. we could see various points where smoke was rising. an indication of villages and towns right the way across that region, suffering russian shilling. we know that there is close contact fighting in a number of these towns, notably proposal we be speaking to volunteer evacuation drivers in around that area. they have now stopped their evacuation efforts from paula. that follows the what we understand is the killing of one driver. and the

kidnapping of another. we're also getting reports from the town of the car that's close to don't. it's pro russian separate is controlled on it. so there are reports of at least 10 people killed and 15 other injured off. a shells landed on a coke plugged close to that city. now these coketown is considered to be the largest in europe. it employs thousands of people we were in that area yesterday. we were told that the coke plant was not operating to 100 percent capacity. it is stopped because of the wall, not because of shelling, but we know that there were hundreds of people working there still today at the source. he's saying that those casualty figures are expected to rise. we're also hearing reports from the military administration of new gangs province, that there are many towns and villages, right,

the way across the region where there is no electricity, no gas and limited running water, which of course, is a huge problem for the thousands of people either trapped inside these towns and villages, or who are still refusing to leave. still ahead on this news out from london, writes call for an investigation into allegations of atrocities by the russian linked wagner group in the central african republic. and it's for can matches to city, make it back to champions, league finals. he to look at the big england v. spain clash ah hello there. it's a mixed picture weatherwise across europe. we are seeing some patches of fine and dry weather,

but the cloud is dominating. it is rather gloomy across those central air resorts. rather stormy. down in the south, we've got a line of thunderstorms stretching from the south of spain, through france, italy, and towards the balkans. now we are expecting that wet weather to shift further east, and it's going to be an improving picture in the west. in particular for the north west of britain and island, we have got some thundershowers expected on wednesday with that rain. but by the time we get into thursday, well, we will see some sunshine coming back into the south, the temperature picking up in london. and we'll see temperatures pick up across scandinavia, but they are sitting slightly below the average here. it's rather dry picture, which is a bit of a wintery mix coming into the north of norway. now we are going to see the rain intensify from northern areas of a city. by the time we get into thursday with some snow falling on the alps. but for the balkans, for greece and turkey, it isn't improving picture a lot of warms. coming into athens there, and it's going to improve as well for the south of spain in particular, we have

a close to look on wednesday. we work very heavy, falls to come. but as we go into thursday, it pulls to algeria and sunshine comes back into madrid. ah, the african stories from african perspective, short documentaries, from african filmmakers from ivory coast, just to last year from chauffeur to quote or the bus for for a semester. if i'm sure they're missing formed. ed, south africa. if i, if i would change and it showed me that i'm actually tracking and fire with africa direct on al jazeera. oh i

ah, wherever you grow in the world, one airline goes to make it for you. exceptional katara always going places to go. lou ah ah, main stories now pro anti abortion whites demonstrators of converged outside the u . s. supreme court after a late document suggested justices could reverse the countries landmark abortion law. president joe biden is called a woman's right to choose fundamental miss urged congress to acts more than a 100 civilians evacuated from me besieged city of mario pole of reach the safety

of ukrainian control that zap parisha. they were trapped inside the cell steel plant for up to 2 months. as the city was stated by bombing there, all still concerns with 200 people, still trapped inside. russia is confirmed that is targeting the blonde with artillery an ad palla. moscow resumed its attack shortly. off to view and back to evacuations were completed on sunday. are bringing more on top stories, elite u. s. supreme court document which shows that roe v wade, which guarantees the right to an abortion in the united states could be overturned at sparked protests across the united states. kristin salumi is in new york. what's happening now? well mary anne, the knowledge that roe v wade could be dismantled had organizers of women's groups and pro abortion rights groups worried for

a long time. so when this document leak, they were in the spring very quickly, we are seeing the results of that behind the huge crowd gathered in what's essentially the court new york or outside the state, local and federal courts at york. and it's not just here that people are gathering their gathering all over the country and other cities as well. with me, i have one of the organizers of this event, linda sar sore. hi, you've been an activist for a long time. i'm wondering how and why were you able to get this working this event together so quickly and events like this? i think the league scolded opinion was something that we were warning americans about for a long time. and unfortunately, a reaffirm to what we believed was going to be a reality. and so people are already our read. you gotta give them a time and a place to gather. and they are here in cities across america. if the decision to get rid of roe v wade goes through, we know some 26 states are likely to do away with abortion rights,

but not all of them. what would the impact be in a state like new york where abortion could still be legal? things to state lawmakers, would there be an impact here? you know, new york would be an access state, it would be a sanctuary state where women can cross state lines and our city councils and state legislative would have to kind of organize the resources to ensure that for working class women when holler are going to be able to have that access, that's who it impacts it doesn't impact which women rich women can find. a way to do this, we're talking about women who do not have access and will not have access. if this is overturned, but we're also concerned about what else is going to be overturned. we believe that the overturning of roe vs wade is just setting a precedent for what could come down the pipeline. and what do you feel that could be so many things, you know, voting rights, you know, issues around education reform that have been codified and shrine for many years. many marginalized communities like l, g, b, t,

q communities are also concern. i mean there's, there's many concerns, especially around issues, a right to privacy and what are activist and organizers doing to prepare for whatever the decision could be. you know, there's really not much that we can do because the supreme court is an independent entity. but we hope that rage in the streets on the stories that women tell will change the minds of some of the supreme court justices in hopes that they may on their final vote in june. maybe they'll change their mind. we don't know, but we do know is that you got to state, you gotta fight and we got a demand. we expand the courts, we have other options with in politics or political options that we could take the new star. so thank you so much for joining us. well there you have, it's clearly activists are making their voices heard whether it will impact the decision we won't know probably for another month or so when the final ruling comes from the supreme court. thanks very much from your christian salumi.

now human rights watch is calling on the i. c. c to investigate forces in the central african republic who witnesses say of some summarily executed, tortured and beaten civilians. that witnesses identify the men as being russian. several governments and the united nations have found the forces include a significant number of members from the wagner group. this is a russian private, military security contractor, with alleged links to the kremlin. now, in 2018, the central african republic and russian authorities agreed that former russia military officers would train at central african republic forces. ocean link troops in the country don't wear designated uniforms or any official insignia. human rights watch interviewed more than 20 people who witnessed abuses committed by white men speaking russian between 20192021. the men were carrying military grade weapons and war scarves covering their faces. one incident of the killing of at least 12 unarmed men in the town of bus and go bring you

more on that story bit later, but also want to turn to the saw whole region. un secretary general is one that attacks that have grown from regional issue to a global one. attorney. good terrorist is cool for resources to help and the violence. he made the remarks while inertia one of 3 countries he's visiting terrorist should lead as the u. s. top priority is there to be peace and stability in the region. nicholas' hoc has more from the car and explains why the terrace is decided not to visit molly. that's because the situation or the, the relationship between that un mission and bama co, is that best luke warm, ever since there's been 2 successive military coups in the last year. that relationship has gone sour so much so that the french that are present in that country for almost 10 years are now pulling out and they'll be redeploying in

neighboring news air. now the un mission has tried to investigate allegations of extra digital killing, torture by the 1000000 forces, as well as russian fighters linked to the wagner group. but they haven't been allowed to go on the ground to do those investigation. so the situation is pretty tense. there between the un office and bama go add to that new statement just made yesterday by colonel abdulla mike, one of the military gin to that has taken over power that it has made. and the statement that molly is breaking off its military agreement with all european countries, which includes france. it says that it comes after france took this unit lateral decision to end its operation in multi without consulting bama. go back in february . this is the latest step made by molly and authority. so the situation there is going from bad to worse and on to new good terrorists fears that with more and more

people displaced. this will become a global issue with people not only flight fleet, neighboring countries, but perhaps trying to cross the mediterranean into europe. and that's why he's alerting global attention to this crisis. want to turn out to that cold by human rights watch to investigate alleged crimes that have been carried out in the central african republic. these have been attributed to the russian linked wagner group and his contract, his and mercenaries, a thought to be inside the country. louis much as the central africa director at human rights watch. he joins us by skype from charlotte the launch. can you tell us more about the evidence you have collected in the form of these witness testimonies that have detailed these abuses? how long has it been going on for and what sort of crimes are we talking about? thanks for having me in terms of how long it's been going on for. we've been documenting crimes committed by russian linked military since 2019.

these started as crimes of arbitrary detention and accusing civilians of being rebels and some pretty egregious cases of torture. but it was really last year when we really started getting back on the ground in the central african republic that we started to get these really, really horrific cases of extra judicial execution samaria summary executions that had been carried out by the russian forces. and so we decided today to, to finally publish the most egregious case that we've been able to confirm was a case in july last year. but i just want to be clear. this is probably just scratching the surface. we have many other credible allegations of cases of killings committed by these russian link forces. but to day human rights watch, we haven't been able to confirm them. have you been in touch with the government and the central african republic? what have they said about this? is there any intention to identify and prosecutes those, carrying out these abuses?

look, it's really, really tricky. um, when i speak to my contacts in bungie and contacts in the government, they're absolutely aware that these russian linked forces are carrying out abuse. some of them are really dismayed by it, but at a public level, the government continues to say these are simply russian instructors. that's all that they're doing is instructing central african military. and we did present our findings to the government of the central african republic. they did not respond officially, but again, i want to reiterate at a lower levels in the government, people absolutely know what's happening and some of them are quite worried about it . but i suppose complicated as well by the fact that in 2018 is that is this deal signed between the central african republic, essentially allowing full marashi military off as offices in the country to train

central africa republic forces. so they have been invited there and they are there officially legally look, they've been invited there. we've never really seen the paperwork by which there's a, there's an agreement between russia or these russian forces and the central african republic. i mean, it's probably worth pointing out in 2020, the donkey. the capital in december 2020 almost fell to rebels again. and it was the russian forces that pushed them out. it really was them who, who were responsible for making sure the capital held. and so i think there's a lot of conflicting thoughts about the russians. on the one hand, they're carrying out egregious abuses with impunity. again, central african citizens because in many instances they just label everyone rebels and carry out executions. but on the other hand, these are forces that are not nearly as tied to the rules as the united nations, which has a big peacekeeping force in the central african republic. they will take risks, they will go out in smaller numbers and they will take the fight to the rebels. and

so people are really conflicted about how to handle this new force on the ground in a country that seen so much violence over the last 10 years. i sledge from the human rights watch. thank you. thank you. want to that in the, in my now where the fighting is intensified between the military and the armed qur'an, ethnic minority rabble grew up in the southern states of cayenne rebels have been fighting for independence since the 19 forties and those displaced by violence and the keys the military of escalating ourselves and panting land mines on their farms . lawrence, lily reports uses the e to tom camp in keen state southwest. we are now it her set up to give refuge to people from the current minority escaping from attacks by mia. nas ami more than 15 years later, they are still here. and new ones are arriving. displaced by renewed fighting between the military and the korean national liberation army after losses,

a leg. al jazeera is not able to verify their stories. a spokesman from yeoman's military has not responded to our emails seeking comment. a unisex report showed the number of landline incidents across the country as increased since the crew. the violence between current fighters and the myanmar army has intensified in the past year. sending people fleeing across the border into thailand or into jungles in camps in myanmar lever to the me and my soldiers are basically all camp and they are fighting with the current fighters. everybody in this camp is afraid and lives in fear. we are worried, the fight will come closer and closer to us. with more distaste, feeble arriving. there also concerns there may not be enough food for every one and with no sign of the conflict ending soon, people here know it may be a long time before they can return home. florence li, algebra. internet access has been cut and
