and i'm grateful to everybody who helps follow grania, but it is good news on mario pose, garrison for 70 days has resisted the overwhelming forces of the enemy by itself. since the 25th of april, we have held a circular defense of the ever stole fun. it is the 2nd day the enemy has broken through into the plans. there i have a bloody battle, say, i'm proud of my soldiers for the inhuman if it's to contain the on school with another. i think the whole world for its tremendous support of the mariel pool garrison our soldiers deserve. and the situation is extremely difficult. we carry out the orders to keep defending, despite everything. for most of the on the ground fighting is taking place in eastern ukraine, which moscow has made its main focus of the war. on tuesday 21 civilians were killed and the don't ask region one of his deadliest days so far out 0 child stratford is with ukrainian troops in the east and sent us this report. black smoke

rises from russian all control territory. we drive at high speed along what ukrainian soldiers call the road of life towards the front line. it's a walk through the forests to the trenches, the sound of artillery punches through the air. russian forces are trying to advance from the left and right flanks, but morale, and one of the soldiers is high yard in the loop leaf. when the war started, i had a huge adrenalin rush and a search in anger. now, more anger of what the washington up in lucia variable, and what they continue to do. many other places will never be brothers looking scars from mortar tillery strikes. russian forces frequently target disposition that shelling that you can hear is coming over our heads from russian positions and hidden ukrainian positions around about 2 or 3 kilometers from here. this

is what heavy artillery sounds like when it's fired over your head. that the was just the shell blustery, the and the crunch, just a hit explode. the soldiers have used british made anti tank missiles called in law's part of a multi $1000000000.00 military, a package from ukraine's western partners does in addition. but that unless we are grateful to western countries for helping us with weapons, because russia has much more than us. we can't hold them back without the help from afford observation point. soldiers tell us, russian forces are behind the wall. only a few 100 meters away. and they are facing high tech weapons from above. those for my team could either get a reset or the drones help their artillery to hit oppositions. there are also weaponized version that for $3.00 to $4.00 times

a day. they are difficult to shoot because they fly. so high, my alina worked as a veterinarian before she signed up to fight the so many of the thin made the thing you seem book. i have a child, she's 10 years old. i want her to have a peaceful sky over her head. that's why i'm here. i consciously decided to join up and defend my country. boxes of explosives and ammunition, the constant threat from above. the russian army trying to push forward under a blackening sky. charles rapid al jazeera, eastern new bride. some muslim worshippers at alex, a mosque in ocoee bodies, jerusalem blocking jewish groups from accessing the compound. israeli government says they're allowed to enter, giving none was given visiting alice starting on thursday. but stephanie decades live for us now from occupied east jerusalem stuff. so tensions have been rising for weeks and alex, so what's been happening now that that's why we're,

the israeli government stopped the entry of non muslims about 10 days ago for the final days of ramadan and eat because we'd seen an escalation. this is a really normal procedure that they do during ramadan and they've, they've done it in the years before. but as you mentioned, there had been an escalation on the compound, particularly because the entry of these groups and particularly a small number of religious ultra nationalists, jewish alternation to enter the compound, calling for the right to pray or trying to attend pray. so this, in a nutshell, darren is very much the issue, which is hugely provocative to palestinians under the status quo. they're not allowed to pray only to visit delegates. i mean, just to let you as see what the issue is. so today for the 1st time, and they're going to be allowed in since those 10 days it is independence day here as well is really independence day. and you're seeing palestinians now gathering at the outskirts outside of the mosque. this is the route that they're,

they're praying i'm being told by some, meet our cameraman, and we're expecting the non muslims, those groups to enter in about 20 minutes. from now we've just seen the eyes, really police deploy a drone from here towards the compound as well. and certainly i think interestingly you've see garza's leader. yes. yes. in war. and just the last in the last couple of days, giving a speech that what he said, the battle of alex was going to start after ramadan says a spotlight now really very much on this issue. not only the threats from the leader of god, the saying rockets were ready to be fired if i he but he called alex a being desecrated by these groups. but you've also had international pressure, the egyptians, jordanians, the americans, all calling for the status quo to be preserved for what we do understand that israel and jordan jordan is the custodian of the site, will be meeting at some point to discuss this. but certainly it is as the case,

it has the capability to inflame tensions on the ground are. and so i think we'll just wait and see how this day is going to progress. that those groups are allowed to enter in the morning that visit lost around 3 hours in the morning, and then another hour in the afternoon. i to stephanie back a life of the in occupied east jerusalem that thank you. now polls in the u. s. show rising inflation is now the number one concern for most americans. in response, the federal reserve raised a key interest rate by half a percentage point it hopes the move will reduce demand and lower inflation. it's the biggest hi can 20 years. gabriel is honda has more from washington dc for ricardo a good, a business is good at his beloved food truck. he calls tamales e tacos, pueblo. but when he needs to restock the truck's refrigerator with ingredients he had to, the local market realizes everything has gone up in price by a lot, $6.00 for this before you could get it for 299 double in price.

even the oil he uses to cook with, instead of being 40, now we pay for $2.00 because he was not alone. millions of americans are struggling to get by with inflation reaching the highest levels in decades. which is why there are reserved chair, jerome pow announced wednesday and aggressive interest rate hike of half a percentage point. we understand the hardship it is causing in, we're moving expeditiously to bring it back down. the u. s. benchmark or target inflation rate is about 2 percent. he rate at which the fed believes a normal healthy economy can function without too much strain on consumers. in march, 2019 before anyone had heard of corporate 19, the u. s. economy was humming along inflation was at 1.9 percent. basic interest rates were also low. but then march 2020 hit. and so to do the pandemic, the u. s. economy began to shut down the federal reserve slashed interest rates to

near 0 to keep the economy from total collapse. it worked. but since then, supply chains have become clogged while consumer demand has increased, along with energy costs, with russia's war and ukraine. goods and services have become more expensive. inflation kept creeping up last year and has been over 6 percent for 6 straight months. it's now at a 40 year high. so interest rates are going up to put the brakes on an overheating economy. left unchecked in can lead to an unsustainable cycle of price sykes that directly affect consumers and business owners. just like ricardo the food truck owner, have a business run in the family to support hey, you know, to raise the price is one. unfortunately, i don't have a way around it. the government hoping this latest interest rate hike will provide

the economy with what the fed calls a soft landing for millions of americans. gabriel's hondo i'll just eat a washington bed of the world. health organization has warned that access to safe abortions is crucial to saving lives. statement by federal other non gallery as follows. the leaking of a document, suggesting the u. s. supreme court. my soon overturn a landmark abortion reading. a draft opinion has spot pro and anti abortion wide demonstrations across america. not to go have been outside the supreme court in washington where rival ronnie's, we're taking time. well, what happens is pretty much what we've seen here today and to get all the way. so that's talk for can show you. so this is pretty much been the scene all day about 3 to 4, doesn't pro abortion rights activists here champion in front of the supreme court. earlier in the day we saw a much smaller group of anti abortion rights activists. they came and they sort of started shouting at each other. we saw police quickly move in and i want to point

out security here is incredibly tight. this street behind me used to be accessible for cars, but now on both sides. if dump trucks blocking the road because this is going to continue to be a controversial issue in till the decision comes out. remember this draft, this legal draft that they've confirmed is in fact just a draft justices are allowed to and often do change their minds between a draft and the final decision. so expect to see protest this one is much smaller than yesterday. pretty much leading up to the final decision which we expected late june, early july. well, not everyone is alarmed by the leak draft opinion from the supreme court. joe appointment is from the texas alliance. the life he says, even if the laws overturned women's rights, have a rule remain protected. there is a misperception on the side of people who support abortion rights, that abortion is needed for women to advance in society. and yet that's just not the case. abortion the horses rate in texas and nations has been in steep decline

over the last 2 decades. i mean, it's really dropped enormously and yet women continue to advance in society, in government, in, in law, in education, just throughout society. any income or abortion obviously is not needed for women to advance and society. the reasoning using this only applies to abortion, it would not apply to any other issues, like marriage contraception and any other social issues. it's this, this what the in supreme court does in this draft, and of course, what they do when they finally release or decision isn't that maybe another matter . we hope not. but it's very clear that they are only addressing the abortion issue, which was so egregiously decided 50 years ago. so frank here now to sierra, when we come back, a count down to what could be on historic election and northern ireland wishing famous points to become the dominant party and living in harmony in
