ways to reach the ukrainian side. what's the level of superior court will the forward to be all gets it sooner shows as the warehouse were bikes, wheelchairs, primes, and even wheelbarrows are held. people used whatever they had, she says. so the russians of our 3 kilometers away from here, those coming down region crossed the lines and no, no man's land between the 2 armies and hope to get in the crossfire. it's a treacherous passage, but is to only escape route to seabrook love to vermont. thank you guys, we're waiting for you. he says, the armies holding is defensive position, but ukraine claims the russians are preparing for a major push here. and this fear that the soldiers could be out good. while most of the western weapons had to dumb best region in the east of the country and was cobra claire to famine, we need heavy weapons artillery javelins, drones,

because they have a lot of weapons. the russians don't care about saving their soldiers lives and the advance like works. we who hundreds of them line the fields work. nobody collects the bodies, but they have a lot of weapons. the villages along the contact line come under shelling the rumble of artillery sounds at regular intervals, but is the fear of an imminent annexation. just like what happened in crimea and in dumbass 8 years ago, that are pushing people to cross front lines on their own. her wm, eat algebra in southern ukraine, and as of the un security council have how the informal meeting had roches request . it's ambassador, provided was been described as 1st hand information about russia's operations in ukraine, from frontline witnesses, and includes allegations of attacks against civilians by ukrainian forces. moscow has been accused of committing atrocities since the invasion, which it denies. well, earlier i'm missing international said there are clear signs that russia has been using cluster munitions and committing extra judicial killings. we know they are

basically cheap guys. they also called in english, it took a while for germany to make this decision. as i said, that was a lot of pressure, not only from within nato, also from the united states, but also from within the own government. especially chancellor all of shows was accused for not doing enough to help you crane. and you have to understand, of course, the history germany has been reluctant, basically not sending any military equipment to any other country, any war because of what happened during world war 2. it's basically something that they have maintained for so many years. but now, because of the war and ukraine and all the images that also have reached the german public here, that seems to be quite a turn around. we have to say also that there will be 20 ukranian soldiers coming to germany next week to get training to operate the howitzer. hillary system

would make history in northern ireland. it up ends a century of dominance by parties dedicated to the union with great britain putting on top a republican party that exists to forge a united ireland. that is going to happen imminently. and many voters were swayed instead by more immediate concerns. all united allens on the cards knew that it didn't on up to important to me. what do you think the chief chief of the boss for forget the whole rates will get better, better hospitals? so just to be open again. she and fame was once the political face of the irish republican army that waged a decades long conflict with the british army and pro british loyalist paramilitaries. its electoral success with struck fear into the heart of many unionists who already feel marginalized by westminster,

the handling of breakfast negotiations with the e. u and a new trade border in the i received that they say undermines northern ireland place within the united kingdom. that need to get a wake up call. my. nobody wants to shouldn't be a minister in the union. the people don't want him to be a minister coach for 1st, 1st and foremost. if we have a day and you're going to call for a border pull. and there's no guide. if there's even a question mark over whether the democratic unionist party leader will take up his position as deputy 1st minister behind shin feigns michel o'neill. jeffrey donaldson says he wants to see border protocol removed 1st. in northern island, symbolism matters hugely. so while power sharing and shrine to the good friday peace agreement ensures that the positions of 1st minister and deputy 1st minister shared between the largest unionist and nationalist parties have exactly equal powers. the changing of places in the store months assembly in this election

carries enormous symbolic way. unionism isn't a very uncertain place. northern ireland had its and teen re last year, the celebrations of rather muted. and there was a sense of the future of the union, very much being at stake and partly because breaks it and what that means. the northern ireland change relationship between overland and the u. k. with all agreements in the protocol and but also what's going on with in unionism itself. it's very fragmented. and with that fragmentation comes the fun certainty over political stability in the short term and longer term questions about the future of northern ireland itself. joe al jazeera belfast and bring you some breaking news now coming in from cuba, where there's been an explosion at a hotel in the capital havana. havana appears to have torn through several of the buildings, floors, no word, yes, on casualties on what caused the explosion,

a hotel in the cuban capital. havana advanced to have torn through several of the buildings, floors, new humanitarian car doors have been opened to get more people out of the cranes besieged city of mario ball. ukrainian officials say russia is still attacking the still works where civilians remain trapped among the cranial soldiers. counting so far off, the northern ireland selection shows the nationalist partition vein is a head. money was, was this gold wing of the ira which fought against a british rule under the 1998 good friday peace agreements. northern irelands, main republican and unionist rivals have to share power. the government must have representatives from republican parties who want a single ireland and new newest, who believe northern ireland should remain a part of the u. k. a unionist and a republican take the 2 top jobs and parliament, the storm on with equal powers. one cannot be in position without the other. since

northern islands creation and $921.00 unionists have dominated the store months meeting so far, the 1st minister has always been a unionist. will duncan morrow is professor of politics that all state university. he says there are 3 issues to consider after the election on one side and a very narrow group, the unionist population. some of it is very exercise by the consequence of the protocol and by the. ready brag debates still, and how that was worked out in northern ireland. but there are minority. there is another group probably within the nation with her quite came to get the symbolic way of seeing champagne at the top of the pile. and even though it doesn't actually change the arrangement very much, but it is a big symbolic victory. and then there is the group. and that may be the biggest growing group in this election of people who actually we need to find a compromise here. but in the meantime, there are lots and lots of practical issues, and these are getting worse because the economic situation thinks that after the

war and ukraine, it may be that if you're looking at numbers rather than symbol, the biggest winners are the group in the middle the unit parties have, they know that they may not even go back into government that they make calls the political crisis. in fact, the, they don't become the, the largest party alpha in the u. k. boss. johnson's conservative party has suffered losses, but the opposition labor party hasn't made significant gains. the conservatives lost control of several areas of london, while labor and the liberal democrats picked up some counsels. the 1st national test in the ballot box for johnson since his december 2019 general election landslide. it also follows the so called party gate scandal, which sol johnson find for breaching cove at 19 restrictions. and this has been a tough night for conservatives in some parts of the country and other parts of the, of the country were actually moving forward. and, and so for mid term,

it's quite interesting that it's a mix set of, of results. when alex dean is a political analyst who's worked for the conservative party, he says things aren't all bad for boss johnson. if you want to think about the prime minister's position, you got to accept or both sides of the coin and the positive outside for the conservative party is the prime minister's perceived standing over his leadership with the conflict and ukraine has been such that i think that if he'd not been seen to have been successful in that, we'd be looking to day at a set of results quite considerably. busy was at the conservative party than they'd be. this is nowhere near the kind of movement in favor of the late proxy. and we go position liberally that people were projecting in advance at the selection, but more broadly in the country. very modest changes in results from the last 20, which oppose in 2018. this doesn't hook kissed armor and number 10, not anything near it. so if you're using these elections as a barometer for national election results, the root, the answer is if your labor party supporter,

who were anti marcus activists. the marcus is vast collection of valuable paintings are also on display, reproduced on postcards, visitors. i encouraged to take some home away to reclaim what the artist says belongs to filipinos. it helps us to remember what the marcia law period was about and how the marcus's use art and culture. oh, how they acquired an ostentatious collection of objects that supported their idea of what their life should be. the manila film center is seen as another testament to marco's excess, just 2 months before its grand opening. in 1982, there was an accident at the construction site. emergency workers were barred from entering the area for 9 hours, and then michaels administration ordered

a media blackout. it's estimated at least a $160.00 workers were killed, buried in concrete in law. one, what our lease is an example of how the marcus family do not care for people's lives, especially the workers. one of the most sorrowful things is that even spare time to retrieve the bodies, they just ordered construction to continue. despite the tainted legacy ferdinand marco's junior, is the frontrunner to follow in his father's footsteps, the kind of politics that we are. it's not much of a system to begin with. it's just, you know, a choice between different political families and personnel, obese saw while mark was, may be an elite himself, he's not seen to belong to the same group of elite that has ruled the philippines in the past 30 years. other analysts say, junior's rise can mostly be attributed to a disinformation campaign, which aims to recast the rule of marco senior as

a golden age for filipinos. if marco's junior succeeds, it would give him wide powers over government agencies task to recover as much as $10000000000.00 stolen by his father during his 20 year rule, florence louis al jazeera manila u. s. first lady joe biden has tossed down in romania on the 1st leg of a trip to eastern europe. she's met with u. s. troops stationed an air base on romania as black sea coast, about a 100 kilometers from the border with ukraine. later she'll head to progress to meet humanitarian workers. first aid is also scheduled to travel to slovakia, where shall speak to ukrainian refugees and has been another nationwide strike in sri lanka, millions of workers stayed away from work on friday as anger mounts against the worst economic crisis in 70 years. we've been months of power cuts and shortages of food fuel and medicines. and al fernandez has more from colombo houses of government workers like these trade union members of the shall,
