and tapped a new app from out. is there a new at you think it noon? ah, we will propose to ban all russian oil from you wrote a b u per se, for new moves against russian energy as punishment for invading ukraine. ah or kyle, this is out there a lot from doha also coming up after a series of weapons test this year, north career is accused of foreign, another ballistic missile. i protesters march for abortion rights

off to a supreme court leaks. yes, the landmark ruling could be overturned and martial law is kept in place in eastern democratic republic of congo, or the army is fighting at least $100.00 armed groups. european union has proposed a complete ban on all russian oil imports by the end of this year. european commission present as live on the land says it should be done in phases over the next 6 months. it would be a significant step for european countries that rely heavily on russian energy. other new sanctions have also been announced on russian banks, as well as military leaders behind alleged atrocities, short term. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion. so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes. and at

the same time, be very careful that we minimize the impact on the global market. with all these steps, we are depriving the russian economy from its ability to diversify and to modernize 14 wanted to wipe out ukraine from the map. and he will clearly not succeed though mccain joins us now. live from berlin and donate does little bit more about this sanctions package, especially this proposed oil ban. there are lots of different elements to it. laura, the oil ban, it's going to be in phases. so to start with, within 6 months, crude oil to be embargoed completely within 8 months, refined product. so diesel petro gasoline, kerosene, these sorts of distilled products will. they will also be part of the embargo. very

clear sense coming from present front line. at least this is the next step that's in this process rather than an event that's the embargoes. the e u is putting on russian fossil fuels. this is the next step. no sibley, no reference to natural gas. why? because in a sense, it's a bit like it's the elephant in the european living room. it's too big to be ignored, but also so big that to do away with it straight away might have a catastrophic effect on economies across this continent. and it is that fear of catastrophic effect, which is motivating at least the hungarians, to say they're really not happy with this idea of an oil embargo, because they say they are so heavily dependent on it. so there is a degree of devil in the detail in so far as this petrochemical related embargo is concerned. other elements of the sanctions? well, a financial aspect is also fascinating. because until now,

the european union had been reticent to put sanctions on all financial institutions in russia. while today now president funder lion has said that spare bank, which is one of the largest banks which has dealings with you, will that will find itself booted out of the swift transaction system. that matters a great deal. because without access to it, it will make it much harder for spare bank and the other financial institutions being sanctioned, to have dealings across the international community. certainly. and so far as the you is concerned, and the other elements of the sanctions, 3 large russian broadcasters are going to find themselves ejected as it were from the european air waves. and then finally, those military leaders who president funder lion has said, are responsible for ordering the incidents, the sorts of war crimes, in her words that she says have been seen on the screens of people around the world

. well, they will find themselves targeted to and as long on the line also putting forward a recovery plan for ukraine. what details we know about that we don't know a great deal of detail about this proposed recovery plan, perhaps because it is contingent upon ukraine emerging from this war with russia in a way where it still exists as it were. and at the moment, the existential threats to ukraine is such, they can't really put too much planning in place. one thing we know that the ukranian government would dearly love to see is it being allowed very quickly to enter the u as a full member. certainly, that's what president cillian ski has said repeatedly. who might recall when president funder lion went to keith and mets presence lensky, and presented him with the documents that he and his government would have to fill

out in order for the application to be considered. and he said, well, we'll do this immediately and get it back to you as soon as possible. we want to join us soon as possible. that's the one thing that he would really like to see. and because they're not in it yet, and because they're not out of this war with russia yet. detail about recovery is still a little bit. sketchy. ok, for the moment, dumber it came. thank you, dominate reporting that from them. a video out of separatist controlled parts of eastern that ukraine appeared to show a fuel depot on fire. the facility is in the city of mackie ever east of donnette city, local media quoting separate as leaders say. the fire was caused by shelling from ukrainian forces. ukrainian officials and the un say they hope they can keep bringing more civilians out of a bombed out steel plants in the shattered port. city of merrier, pull, some civilians in scores of ukrainian fighters are still hold are in the facility that surrounded by russian forces is evacuated so far have been taken to relative

safety. and zap arissa. from where how to handle hamid reports. busy the land exhausted, they stumbled out of buses. perhaps unaware that their plight has caught the world's attention. they evacuation closely coordinated at the highest levels in both ukraine and russia and still took several days. but um, a person to whom he r d now was worried that something would go wrong. first, every one had to be vetted by the russian military. and i think i've only got the quote in the moment either, but it's still can, you can just listen what they took, photos of us as if we were criminals, front and profile. we were fingerprinted, they went through our phones, checked our documents. i was told, there was no way back to mary. pull any more. i felt threatened by the professional ina had gone with her daughter to the as of style steve factory on march. second,

you can see her in this video, in one of the dark, underground shelters. that's where she spent the last 8 weeks. the evacuation was broken by the united nations and international red cross. it was a mission fraught with danger. now we are, we travel through no man's land fairly well. ah, we had a couple of scared instances during the evacuation itself. um we discovered or we didn't discover the are the russian federation. soldiers discovered mine since mon expired rodents. i had to be cleared. so we get a routine for the civilians to come out and there was some more to far while we were working to evacuate the civilians. a couple of rounds landed 500 meters white also. i don't know who fog them are, but it stopped almost as soon as it started and that was really despite the risks and they decided to join the convoy with her 6 months old son. her time under ground was riddled with worry about him and about her mother who got injured and is now receiving treatment. hello, it's international law. ah, what?

no. with dr. lyle is now nothing and will i keep it? it was very hard, but we managed who had to boil water was candles because there wasn't hot water. my father was running under the sheldon 2 other buildings in the complex to get water with over the past 2 weeks. the situation inside those shelters deteriorated food was running low, the air was poor, and the fighting. ever closer. people like valentina, were stuck in the shelter. her 2 months were cut off from the world. they were not getting any news. and they had no idea what was happening to their hometown. and when they came out, she says they were shocked while on the bus she so pictures of the building she lived in flattened to the ground. memories of a lifetime gone. mozilla, good you, my son has no home. neither do i have my flat anymore. nothing left. everything i

own is on me now. i won't ever be back, but they're still civilians remaining at this deed works. the u. n. is hoping for another evacuation soon more people who will leave their home towns knowing they leave behind their life. that will never be again. adapted. hamid al jazeera is upward, each or more civilians from mary paul have arrived, ends, aperture in the past few hours out there as hath on masoud joins us live from the house. and tell us more about these more recently, most recent arrivals. yeah, the civilians that they came from as of a star plan. they came to this point here and that put osha at this center were a other also civilians from other cities came to the same place. but now this place, as you can see, looks quiet and calm after the equations versus

a stopped yesterday after the attacks was renewed on the plan. so as of steel a during the day as that a deputy prime minister said to al jazeera yesterday. but today, the morning these evacuations started again at 8 o'clock in the morning from multiple and a 3 more cities are under their russian authorities there. and under that, russian control in the east and in the south of upper rogia and other cities. and they must come air by night to day if everything went fine and if the process a was successful, or maybe by the next morning it to morrow. and now the place here is a quiet but at this point or other civilians not from as of stars. from the

city of multiple and from other cities may arrive here ab bought at the same time. the last a evacuation process from as of style was a successful and 156 people came and arrived to this place where the deputy prime minister also received them with a u. n and unicef, and also a international red cross. so these equations odd a to be continued to day. and since the 8th of the morning at 8 o'clock in the morning until the a 16 or o'clock in the afternoon a. so a we will see and we will a check if it will be successful today. because of the security issues, since the deputy prime minister said if the security issues are, will be complicated today, these equations and these corridors may stop again. ok,

her son atmosphere joining their firms up reach. and thanks very much for the update. okay, well let's get a more now on the use announcements, not completely phasing out russian oil and andre onto cove as a russian political analyst and joins us now from moscow. good to have you with us as well. what's been moscow's response to this proposed in you wide ban of russian oil? well, i don't think there could be any response to the decision made by the u. e. u. on the other side, moscow. ready will of course, find some other countries that are ready to import the russian oil. it says that the israeli chinese radio other countries are ready. so i think what the european countries are doing, the shooting themselves at the leg, because russia has provided around 30 percent of crew royal to the european

countries. and i think i don't imagine nowhere or at what price those countries will get oil from, from what countries may be the united. ready states would provide your credit card countries with crude oil, but again, what will be the price so. so you think that that moscow can easily make up for all of the revenue. it's going to get from e countries using other countries in china, in india and places in asia. well, ok, it's a canonical process if someone doesn't want to buy. so no one can make these countries this person to buy. so russia will just, as i mentioned briefly. ready will just try to find the other countries to import the oil i used to in days ready to buy. ready rational. busy chinese ready to buy. ready russian oil. ready other countries already. ready by

oral asian countries basically. so this is the decision made by the european union . ready so we, of course, where we, we look at this decision, but we also both take measures to prevent the economical effect negative effect on the russian economy. i want to see the russian official has suggested to you. countries might continue buying russian oil via the 3rd countries . do you think? not the possibility actually this is what happens already. many, many european countries, many european companies refuse to buy the russian oil despite there were low sanctions. ready now so, so they what these crude oil insert countries as you mentioned. so i think this could happen, but basically i think that anyway,

european countries were concentrate on buying the crude oil from not from russia, but from the other countries. i think we're primarily from the united states again at what price. ok, i'm trying to call for leave at the thanks very much. take your time. just join us from us. go south korea and japan say north korea has fired a ballistic missile over its east coast towards sea. i say it was launched from the sudan area. it would be north korea, the 14th known weapons test this year in japan says the launch is yet another provocation. from north korea are not off in europe. cooker new careers of recent, remarkable development of nuclear found related technology is not only unacceptable for the security of japan and the region, but not korea's flu of action is including it, repeated launches of ballistic missiles, threatened the peace and security of our country region. and the international community and are absolutely unacceptable. they're also in violation of relevant

security council resolutions. and we strongly condemn these actions. because that in light of the situation, we will consider all options including the possession of so called enemy based attack capability, and will continue to work to fund mentally strengthen our defense capabilities. bob brian has more now from sol, the south korean military confirming that this was a ballistic missile, but with a relatively short flight path. certainly compared with the more recent missile launches, they say that it reached a total altitude of 780 kilometers and flu, a total distance of nearly 500 kilometers east landing in the sea that separates japan and the korean peninsula. now, south korea has a strongly condemned this launched japanese. prime minister has said that it's totally unacceptable. well, we don't know exactly at this stage what type of missile this was. interestingly, it was launched from this district called su 9,

which is just outside the capital gang from where north korea launched at the end of march, an icbm, that's an intercontinental ballistic missile, a sort of weapon capable of reaching the continental united states and the kind of weapon that north korea has not tested since 2017, so that was seen as a major development major escalation. now there's some debate over whether that miss out was fired was a, was own 15 or a more powerful, more recent class song, 17 icbm. but both of those types of missiles were on display at this very large parade that was held last week in pyongyang. this was the anniversary of the founding of north korea as military when also on display, where other weaponry that the north koreans have been developing. very actively in recent years, such as submarine loads, ballistic missiles, and hypersonic missiles, attended by kim jungle and the north korean leader, vowing to speed up the development of his nuclear arsenal. more protests have been

held across the us after a lead dropped opinion by the supreme court suggested abortion could be outlawed, and several states activists supporting abortion rights and demanding national laws to protect women's access to the procedure. she returns the reports from washington, d. c. i thousands gathered outside the supreme court on tuesday afternoon to protest delete draft opinion that was reported to have the support of 5 conservative justices and opinion. that concludes that since those who wrote what constitution did not explicitly protect women's reproductive rights than previous judgments in training, a women's right to choose had no basis in the law. and that we are long past. the point that we was protested about how many decades ago, but it's terrifying. this is a handful of anti abortion rights protests roadside. the court to i'd say,

lawson of murder flows seeking to end abortion access. this has been the goal since 1973, when justice is ruled in favor of women's reproductive rights. in the case of robi wade justice, robert said that that was not in chick draft. we're very happy to hear that were helpful if i stay with that draft and that would be the decision to wait. the white house as it is prepared for whatever the actual verdict is. but the president warned the reasoning underpinning the draft opinion has far reaching implications. and basically says, all the decisions related to your private life and whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether i'm on the voicemail range of other decision, whether the, how you raise your child. what does this do? does this mean that in florida they can decide are going to pass along, saying that same sex marriage is not visible? you have has the worst maternal mortality rate in the industrialized world. those

here a word that terrible metric could now deteriorate even further. that the sign was in fire, but conversations with many women today, i don't think that anybody has an idea of what the real world consequences are. and especially those who are in a position of privilege. i'm like everybody on the supreme court. myself did not. and there's a lot of really potential for harm, but there was hope to oppose have consistently shown 70 percent of americans are against outlawing abortion. the democrats seem to be hoping for a bumping voter turnout and of embers midterm elections from those who support female, reproductive rights. but there is an awareness here that in the past, when the democrats about the opportunity to codify a woman's right to choose, they failed to do so. she, abraham, so al jazeera, washington politicians in the democratic republic of congo have voted to extend martial law in to eastern provinces. the military, along with forces from neighboring uganda are fighting against armed groups. how

much us our reports is not the 1st time in peace in the democratic republic of congo, have voted to extend the state of seach in the east of the country. it's happened before, and each time martial law has been extended by 15 days. oh excuse me, can said him later, this year's will not have been assured by the president of the parliament that this is the last vote on the state of siege. we now have to find other solutions of the 15 days to try and in the conflict. president village is the katie announced the state of siege in may last year. parliamentarians say the situation in the east is still volatile. armed militias and into camino violence have killed thousands of people on the congolese army, uganda forces. and the u ain't largest peacekeeping mission monasco a trying to stabilize the region. but the violence in north q and a to the provinces seems to be getting worse. jaguar grew less alco knows it's been 12 months. and i think people in a tory have seen positive results. we have the state of siege and we,

as the government think it's working more than a 1000000 people have been displaced by the ongoing violence. many say they see no way out grammars know we taught things what have improved so we can go back home on . fortunately, we're living in these terrible conditions for how long we don't know. local leaders and some rights groups want to return to civilian law, saying the military approach isn't working. last month, king as president or who looking at a mediator talks in nairobi between different rebel groups operating in eastern b, r. c. those talks are expected to resume later in may. the militia stay there will stop fighting if certain conditions are in place, including amnesty for the fighters and the release of political prisoners. millions of people affected by decades of conflict, fear it could be years before peace returns to eastern the osi hardware. tasa out there. human rights watch once the international criminal court to investigate

allegations of murder and torture in central african republic. witnesses say the men involved were russian. several governments on the un say the forces include members of the wagner group. that's a private russian military security contract to with links to the kremlin. in 2018 central african republic agreed to allow former russian military officers to train its forces. russian linked troops in the country don't wear designated uniforms, nor official insignia. the rights groups interview rights group interviewed at least 20 people who said they saw russian speaking men who carried military grade weapons committing abuses between 20192021. 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 agree just 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 to mary mary executions that had been carried out by the russian forces. and so we decided today to, to find the publish the most egregious case that we've been able to confirm with 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 date human rights watch, we haven't been able to confirm the public level. the government continues to say these are simply russian instructors, that 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

. as a year press freedom day highlights the threats, facing journalists around the world. mexico is one of the most dangerous countries to be a media waka, john hallman investigates the impact on freedom of expression. ah tiquana, the buddha city that's become an epicenter of mexico's rocketing number of press attacks. 2 journalists were killed here in just one week. jose louise gamboa. this is the sound their colleagues, him morning, margaret martinez, husky. bell, but a thank you as well. another lou, this mailed the mother a margaret martinez, his murders a still under investigation and constantly in the mind of local reporters. like hannah lily a ramirez, she is just making her 1st cup of coffee when her ready to send her a video of this morning's presidential press conference. and then also to many the

refresh developments in the case. and i will let you on and de la material diluted maldonado yelder. my god, he thought. but after watching, she says the authorities and no closer to solving them on them. and i feel bad because they are my friends. and i feel bad. sorry, ethnic. i think odd that people that a yelp is not is only like kill it, the men. yeah, not the ones who plan their in mastermind a year. from 95 percent of journalist motors, mexico go unsolved. must been the case for years. but the current administration is also seen in almost 85 percent jumping crimes against the press say free speech of the coach with 7 reports is killed so far this year. what do you think gratitude of president love is over the door is to this, what is his attitude?

kale lost on my law course that we crazy. he thinks anybody. he says, hey, they're killing us. is part of the opposition? will not be his open the door came to take one or to speak to the press cool, just after their colleagues had been killed and he took the opportunity to criticize journalist you often does. it is just been released as i morsels these famous journalists who are for hire. we should find out how much they in, because they get a lot of money than mercenaries. with an apparent lack of official support journalists his band together to protect each other. as we ride with on a lillia to her 1st assignment messages pinging from a reports is what's up group. they've set up a conference. this one from a colleague on the same day. pulls us both up. sure. he's assaulted right next to the police in the middle of a protest for just since constant in this chart between

journalists here are the tension and the threats that something could possibly happen when the listen 2 months ago. and lillia tells me she had a room close shave after reporting on famous sites, an arm man followed her while on the road and into a shopping center. you're quiet, he said. cal number. his bag was open. i looked in and saw a gun in there. the only thing i was thinking in the shop was i might die here. my colleagues had just been killed by nettle. she asked the army to rescue her. these photos that take him from when they came and got her. it was then she went to mexico's press protection program, but while some journey site saved them, others like i'm a lawyer. so they got no help. a moment after the ceremony, she has been sent to cover and she takes a chance to ask the police state commissioner about. but what he, i want to think ellen can are management and some people say that they just get a message. others just a photo rather than the police patrols at their house. lot boy is that is not

completely true of fear. ah, but in met scope of threats could come from anywhere. not just, nor course, police, even politicians. and at risk. not only journalists, but the chance to challenge power or provide voice for those without one. he know that john holman, al jazeera tiquana ah, without a 0. these are our top stories lead to the european union has proposed a complete ban on all russian oil imports by the end of this year. as love under land announced more sanctions targeting russian banks and high ranking officers suspected of committing war crimes and butcher and merrier poll. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion.
