russia. shells crime. i tossed in the battle for don bass. and the world health organization says almost 15000000 people have died because the covert pandemic human twice the official global death told ah and are, is ready news outlets. at least 3 people have been killed in a stabbing attack. it happened in the central city of ellard, near television, as people celebrated the day israel marks its establishment as a country ship, hers to his independence day, for others were wounded to them are in serious condition. a security forces of set up road blocks in the area where the attack took place. that comes out is ready, forces injured, at least 16 palestinians, and arrested dozens at the alex and mosque compounded and occupied east jerusalem media report. se elderly men and young children were among those detained israeli

police find rubber bullets at palestinian groups who they say were throwing stones . why? the confrontation began when jewish worshippers were allowed on the site for the 5 1st time. since the end of ramadan was coming from stephanie deco joined us on the line after walked about his jerusalem. as stephanie tell us more about the stabbing attack we understand at the moment there seems to be potentially 2 attackers. there's a man on the way and it seems that one had an axe and the other one potentially had a garden. so you mentioned there is really forces have secured the rose carrying out of my hunt, initial reports. again, this is something we can all confirm is that potentially the 2 suspects from the northern part of the last find this attack you carried out. it seems also according to initial reports in multiple areas. at least 2 areas of a lad is a city in central israel. it is also orthodox city. and as you mentioned there at the moment, 3 confirmed killed and at least 4 injured. so that is all the information we have

at the moment. this is you mentioned coming on israel independence day marking 74 years of the establishment of the state of a drought. we have had lost our statement from mass out of gaza praising this, saying that it had basically links to what's been happening in jerusalem at the luxembourg compound. you mentioned about the access for alternation alternation fight under the status quo and they are only allowed to visit for a and over the years. you know, there have been concerns about public speaking, but there's more and more of the movement by these groups entering the site to call for the right to prayer and actively trying to pray on the compound. this is a red line for palestinians, for woodson and have masses recently made it very much part of their

direct if you will. but since last week saying that this was the deadline and the fight for lots of good to happened off the. my dad had been reading the piece and says, stephanie, they have been other attacks which near had so security been stepped up. security stepped up in jerusalem. no no it's. ready pretty much the same here. again these, that the entering of these groups into the compound is something that's been happening for years. they're allow twice a day on weekdays to enter what you will see now of course, i think the ultimate package that was ro is you may then see security forces on jaila in that region, at least for now. but i think again it is to already to say, we don't have any confirmation to do the taxes are, but initial reports suggested they may be from the occupied with stephanie deca. thank you very much. indeed for the update to their from ok, pretty sure isn't ah,

do ukraine now a heavy fighting rages on the besiege steel plant in? are you pull? some 200 civilians are still trapped that many of them women and children, as well as around 2000 ukrainian fighters. russia had earlier announced a cease fire the site to allow civilians out and insists it's abiding by it. the u . n. has been working with both sides. civilians out safely, it says new convoys on the way to evacuate the country. diane has more. ah, it's considered the last pocket of ukrainian resistance in the shattered city of mario pool. and the scene of heavy fighting for weeks ukrainian forces say russians are attacking the arsole staff steel factory where civilians and soldiers are sheltering an underground bunkers by 9 better. some of

the estimate of 2000 besieged fighters, including women, sing in the dark and waiting list for me, there's not enough food or ammunition. even if out numbered, they say they have no intention of surrendering. rentable boiled waterford was a little heavy with bloody fighting. his going on call for 71 days the defenders of the city has been fighting and single handedly saw with overpowering enemy forces a 3 day seas fire was promised by russia to allow civilians to escape. ukraine says the promise has been broken. some women, children, an elderly managed to make it out earlier this week, but others remain trapped alongside ukrainian soldiers. i shall which this divine you rebrand is already won my family to get out. but not the way we did. it was a miracle we managed to live on the verge of life and death. ukraine's president is

appealing for help to get the others to safety. oh, it is showing is going on today. i spoke to you and secretary general antonio gutierrez, and we discussed what we have already achieved and what is still necessary to do to save mary a poll and the defenders of mary paul city. there is not a single day that i and my team wouldn't do this, and i am grateful to everybody who helps the kremlin, says accusations of broken promises or propaganda nationally. and it's the trying inside. and especially though so haunting in the as of style plants are well known for producing an enormous number of lies and fights every day. so we should carefully filter all the information we get from them. ukraine says russia is trying to destroy the strategically important city in the south. the ukrainian counter offensive is unlikely before the middle of next month, when it hopes more weapons from allies will have arrived. party a little piece of a young al jazeera officials in the eastern city of crime. i tossed say 25 people

have been injured in russian calling on truck myself to take a stair straight to the united nations where a secretary attorney, the cherish is at briefing the security council on his trips to russia and ukraine . malice allison, his excellency. mister antonio, good terrace. and give him the floor. madam president, excellency's. i welcome this opportunity to address the security council on my recent visit to the russian federation of the ukraine. where i bare with present, put in and present zalinski on the 26 and the 28th of april, respectively. as part of my original visits, i also had discussions with president or the one in ankara and president tutor in jess off bowlens. swapped my travels, i did not means worse. i said the same sink in moscow as i did in cave, which is exactly what i have repeatedly expressed in new york. namely that russia's

invasion of ukraine is a violation of 18. 30 tyler integrity and of the charge of united nations. and that it must ends for the sake of the people of ukraine, russia and the entire wolves. madam president, i visited moscow and keys with a clear understanding of the yell it is on the grounds. i entered an active war zone in ukraine with no immediate possibility of a national ceasefire. and the full scale on going attack on the east of the country . before the visits you could have in government issued an appeal to the united nations and to me personally express publicly by the deputy prime minister regarding the di applies of civilians in the devastated city of mario ball. and specifically the as of style plants in my meeting we present, put in. i therefore stress the imperative enabling humanity in excess and

evacuations from basic areas. including 1st and foremost, mario, paul, i strongly urge the opening of a safe and effective monday to inquiry bar. to civilians 3 safety from the hours of stall plants. a short time later, i received confirmation of an agreement. in principle. we immediately followed up with intense but battery work with international committee of the red cross i. c r . c. along with the russian and ukrainian authorities, our objective was to initially enable the safety recreation of both civilians from the hours of the plan. and later, the rest of the city in that direction, they trues and to the livery many tell you needs i am pleased to report on some measure of success. together the united nations and the i, c. r. c. are leaving a humanitarian operation of great complexity. both politically and in terms of

security. it began on $29.00. i appealed and as require the enormous coordination of advocacy with russian federation. and you could and, you know, thought it is so fast to safe passage co voice have been successfully completed in the 1st concluded on 3 may when under the non civilians were evacuated from the as of south plan, along with $59.00 more from a neighboring area in the 2nd operation completed last night, more than $320.00 civilians were evacuated from the city of mario ball and surrounding areas. a certain operation is under way, but it is all policy not to speak about the tales of any of them before they are completed, boulevard, and the mining possible success. it is good to know that even in this times of i, per communications, silent diplomacy is still possible and the sometimes the only effective way to

produce results so far in total, nearly $500.00 civilian songs found a long way to awaken relief after leaving. and the relentless shelling and sketch availability of water, food and sanitation, the factories of shared moving tales with un stuff, mothers, children, and thrill good parents spoke of that trauma. somewhat urgent need the medical attention. i hope that's going to coordination with moscow and key will lead to more military partners. civilian safe passage from the fighting and 8 to reach those in critical needs. we must continue to do all we can to get people out of these l scapes. and the 2nd says general, and the emergency room coordinator mark in griffin will be if you today in greater detail on the latest efforts in multiple and additional steps. i commission especially will brief on reports of violations of international humanitarian and

human rights law. possible war crimes and the needs for accountability. as i discussed yesterday, we present lensky the when will continue to scale up your military notations, save lives, and reduce sufferings. met the presidents. my meetings with mostly there's also focused on the crucial issue of global food security. and indeed, the world where the implications of these law were in full view in my subsist subsequent travels to west africa in synagogue neesha, nigeria, i heard died. a testimony from leaders in civil society are now the war, is unleashing of food security crisis. really quick and decisive action to ensure a steady flow of food and energy and open markets by lifting export restrictions, allocating surpluses and reserves to those who live them. and they're asking full price increase to call market volatility. but let me be clear and

meaningful solution to global food insecurity. requires reintegrating ukraine's equity cultural production and the food and fertilize the production of russia and bellows into world markets. despite the war, i will do my best to help facilitate the dialogue to help make these a reality. at the same time, though, already new grade in all its dimensions, you something in motion, a crazy that is also devastating global energy markets disrupting financial systems and existed writing extreme vulnerabilities for the developing world. that is precisely what i established why established the global crisis response group on food, energy in finance, to mobilize, you and agencies multilateral development banks and other international institutions. 12 countries phase these challenges. we were particularly engaged in making proposals at the spring meetings of the i, m f, and the world bank. the president, excellencies the water nuclear new,

senseless insult. rough proceeds to dimensions and limitless in its potential for global harm. the cycle of death, destruction, this location and disruption must stop. it is time to unite and these war. and i think you it really isn't there to and tony gutierrez should be seeing the un security council on his visit to moscow and to ukraine. he talks about 2 russians invasion of ukraine being a violation of a territorial integrity and of the charter of the united nations. and he went on to outline some of the progress that we made since his visit on getting people out of mario paul in particular, let's bring in our different mascot as a james phasers, i 1st the united nations. so he'd been praising the kind of, some of the silent diplomacy as he called it, and some of the, the kind of fruits of the, of the negotiations of ministry people out of marable. yeah, i'm hoping they can build on this. we have had to operations, as he said,

to get people from mary pal under the umbrella of the united nations in the international committee of the red cross. the 1st one, they got 101 people out of the steel works. and a further $56.00 people out of the mary apple area. and the 2nd operation, they got 320 people out of the merrier pool area. the 3rd operation is underway, as we speak, they're not going to give any details. but my understanding is, it's another effort to get people out of the of a stall plant and that is underway. as the sectors general made clear, his humanitarian chief, marty griffith is briefing from poland. whether it was a fundraising meeting to raise money for the humanitarian operations. in ukraine he, i don't think will give us any more details though on these ongoing operations. they have to, i think, keep quiet about these things. and they've told me that i want to say anything about any of the detail until the people are safely in ukrainian territory. perhaps

that will be a little bit more from the secretary general later on. not in public, but in private because he's taking the security council to dinner tonight. the 15 ambassadors of the security council will be sitting down with the secretary general . i'm sure they're going to ask him more details of his trip. clearly, he will have among those ambassadors, the russian ambassador. so i think he'll be somewhat guarded when they asked questions of exactly what was said between him and president putin. remember, he's one of the few world leaders spoken to president putin in recent months. and certainly the most senior to visit moscow. so i think many of the other diplomat says ambassadors meet him will be keen to find out what more information he has on the russian leaders views on the situation and possibly where this could go next. lauren can say, thanks very much indeed. all the officials in the eastern cities cannot ask say, 25 people have been injured in russian shelling homes,

a school and other civilian infrastructure damage during the early morning attacks . the city is near the frontline of fighting in ukraine's donetta province. russia's army is pushing towards cremmit. ask a move ukrainian forces a struggling to block. charles stratford is there. the explosion left the crater around 3 meters, deep flies and the surrounding residential portable blocks were destroyed. the blast shred the trees in the park where children usually play. this was one of a number of attacks across criminals. in what was the largest similar tiniest barrage of rockets in the city since russia invaded ukraine organ 2 months ago we were sleeping in wakened by a series of explosions before there was one mass of blast. thank god, no one was killed. a couple of kilometers away this parade of shops and small businesses was also hit. the city men says that 25 people were injured in the

attacks. it's miraculous that nobody was killed. soldiers have collected shrapnel to try and identified a weapon that was used until i heard it was a rocket attack. there was a siren and then a huge explosion. my apartment is about 100 meters from and all the windows are below. now, the scale of the destruction here shows you just how powerful the explosion was. there are tens of flaps that have been pretty much completely destroyed in the blast. ukrainian police say that they believe that this was a russian as strike and it comes at a time when the ukrainian all me say that russian forces are trying to pushing towards cremmit sauce. and they bring savanski from the north. we drove north towards the russian controlled city of museum. we discarded blood soaked bandages, and a stretcher. wounded ukrainian soldier had been transferred to an ambulance. only

minutes before us really so much in a pretty big show. when all calls go along the road, they start shutting. is it an issue? any ambulances, vehicles you say? it doesn't matter? ukrainian soldiers hide in the forest from russian drones above. artillery shell casings, litter the ground. the soldiers will, that is filming. but they claim they have repelled 3 waves of russian attacks in the last week. they gave us this video. they claim shows the retreating from russian artillery se se on now holding the defensive position. what they currently can't do is stop cities like criminals from coming honda. russian attacks stuff alger 0 criminals, international donors raised about $6500000000.00 for ukraine. european leaders and officials were in warsaw for

a conference aimed at helping ukraine cope with the economic and monetary fall out of russia is offensive, which is led to europe's worth refugee crisis since world war 2. the host of the conference published prime minister mateusz vicki, also called for ukraine to be given candidate status to the european union. the world health organization says the code 19 pandemic has led to many more deaths than previously thought. it estimates. 14.9000000 people died directly or indirectly from the virus in the past 2 years. as more than twice the number recorded by organizations like johns hopkins university, which puts the global death toll at 6200000. when you estimate is based on excess mortality, the difference between the actual number of deaths and the expected number. without a pandemic, excess deaths were concentrated in se asia, europe, and the america's breakdown of the figures shows more men died than women. and the

vast majority of all excess deaths were in middle income countries. let's get more now from hydrogen. castro is that live in washington d. c. for us as it tell us the why there's this big difference between the show figures and the official ones. right, and it, it is a massive difference. lauren was 9 and a half 1000000 deaths. that the w h o. attributes to cove it, but that were essentially unreported by the world. how is that? well, there, we know that in the earlier days of the pandemic, there was a lack of testing. and then there are some places that had government pressures or just disorganization in order to record it cove it on the death certificates. now we saw this discrepancy, as you said, mostly in southeast asia, in europe, and in the americas egypt, one country that was highlighted with a discrepancy of 12 times, according to the w. a. jo, the coven, really does. there were 12 times higher than what was reported in pakistan. it was a times as high and in india almost 10 times. and in india there's been some

pushback from health officials who have questioned the w. h o's methodology here. the w. a jose assigned as being the 1st to say that this is an imperfect report. they use estimates, they used to testicle models and health surveys, et cetera. so certainly this is not a completely accurate number with the 14900000, but it is the best guess at this time and a public health, an expert saying it's still important to go back and get this accurate accounting because it helps the world better prepare for future threats. lauren, and on that basis, who do make any particular recommendations for how things should be handled in the future. right? no, this was pure data. i in fact though, there was some pushback that this data was available in january from the w a job because of that pushback from india on the methodology. it was withheld until now.

but certainly this gives plenty of fodder for public health officials to now dissect and analyze in order to repair and have better preparation for whatever future public health threats may come. how does your history? thank you very much indeed. are you a stock market? so slumped a day off, the federal reserve announced its biggest interest rate increase in more than 2 decades. all 3 major us indices were down with the dow jones, dropping about 3 percent. tech stokes lead the set off the decline wipes out, gain seen on wednesday. as investors face the most aggressive tightening of us monetary policy since 2000 take you to the united nations security council where human rights commissioner, shall busch lead, is that now speaking they have not pause the work for a single day. currently, the mission has staff on the ground in was go to keep believe the pro and the

differ and convict field. this is to barry's part of the country, couldn't you? and show me if we can just last week. that mission continues to verify allegations of violations of international law and of international humanitarian law in the context of the russian federation arm attack on a claim. many of these allegations concern violations that may amount to war crimes based on the mission war by august updated. if you want to cancel at the end of march, and lucas sent a report that was depletion covering the previous 24 february to 50 may at the next session of the company in june. and my 1st crank on the 22nd of april summarize our most recent findings. it brings me to say that our all our concerns remain valid and the situation keeps the ratings. but am president, today's the 71st day of the escalation of expanding the already a year long conflict, all region of the country reports of bentley incidents such as the attack on

hospital number 3 of the drama theatre in mario pole. on the railway station in chrome, i post on the visual every single day i had become shogun, frequence, there seems to be no an inside to the day reports of civilians, death and injuries. my team on the ground can base the palpable trauma and truck experience. they people, they speak with the majority of whom i have personally witness about elation or a victims themselves rather than try to describe what victims are going to let me use their work. reference of mario paul set up a telegram child to share information about one of these who perished in the city, and i will quote them. he was killed in front of his wife and children. had a body remained under the debris of her house. we could not even bury her. my uncle died from loss of blood after sustaining 2nd patient injuries. i only know he was

very in a collective grave. i could check many more such messages. last week on the 20th of april, when the un secretary general was visiting keith to meet the crane bullet to lensky . the city was hit by to me, so at least one we're going to generally will kill. and 4 civilians were injured in that tack. and always he had shot team will see people that they too prepared to be boucher on the same day we corroborate the 22 to be in there for you to be an injury in other places. crane members of the council in okay. my office was we call it 6730 wants to be the cold cash flow. these says that the 24 february, we know the real see those are considerably higher. my office consistently reports . also these casualties have been caused by the uses of stuffing weapons with wide area effects in populated areas such as shelling from heavier jewelry. equally multiple launch. rocket systems, misses an air strike by offices whole to documenting the devastating consequences

of the conflict on other humans. in a key, from late february for about 5 weeks, rush and also target the males, civilians who they close to the suspicions men were detained, beaten, some really executed. and in some cases they came to bill. it was and russia unbeknownst to their families and held in child attention. my stuff met with families was searching for them, missing a while at the best place to know where they are either alive or how they can get them back to me. were sharp as if they tried to escape in convoys. in some areas, will fingers crossed the street with snipers or soldiers shooting up any one who tried local authority to her compile a list of their and missing continuing exit explanations. taking dna for relatives while also trying to work on that district districts to receive the award in other areas until the russian are forces and affiliated groups such as bonus,

a law house, somebody show an simpson region. we continue to document arbitrary attention and possible enforce disappearances. or voices generally uses the activists. we tired service, men and the armed forces, another civilians, the russians are, forces affiliated groups and so forth. may, by all have documented $180.00 such cases of which 5 victims were eventually found . this. we have also documented a possible important appearance for people confused to be pro russian in government control territory. my heard of old case women having been raped by russian are forces in area that were under the control as well as other allegations of sexual but by both bodies. and yet, the stigma around glee on sexual violence continues to prevent the victim of the family from feeling face to report if only highlights the importance of insurance,

adequate unsafe support services for victims with evidence of torture, ill treatment and summary executions will be sort of war committed by both parties to the conflict is the face. my office is collecting such evidence which will be included in the future reporting. the only way for these horrors to stop before our forces. to fully respect the obligations under international law and international terran law, it is by a little party give instruction to the combatants to protect civilians, ursa, all the that they call back as list of the thing which between civilian and military dawson command the, our forces must make it clear to the members that anyone found to have been involved in sexual relations will be prosecuted and held accountable accountability that month of evidence be preserved. and the mortal remains because with thing with the mother medical, the.
