available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like flew me and rose. now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to return home hoping tomorrow is a better day. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, this is the news our on al jazeera, fully back to ball live from our headquarters in don't coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia present, leave victory day ceremonies, remembering the soviet victory of nazi germany. while defending the war he launched against ukraine and sri lanka for people a dead, including an m p. in protests about the economic crisis. the prime minister has

resigns. also this, our voting ends in the philippine presidential election early signs point to a big lead of the son of a controversial house of leader and a rising seas at an expanding desert is causing concern in senegal. as leaders hold a comic conference on drought and land restoration. i'm joanna roscoe, with all your sports news fi 1st, say argentina and brazil must replay their well cup qualifier despite both teams having already professed spots in the finals. ah, thank you very much for joining us. russia's president has sold his forces. they're fighting in ukraine for the motherland and its future. vladimir putin led the traditional victory day ceremony in moscow to celebrate the surrender of nazi germany in 1945. but he was unable to announce victory in ukraine and couldn't

russians when the war would end dosage. robbery begins. i coverage with this report from moscow. victory day is the most important annual event for russians. but this year it has added significance because of the conflict in ukraine. 11000 troops her rated through red square in moscow to commemorate the soviet victory over nazi germany 77 years ago. and estimated 27000000 soldiers and civilians from the soviet union died in what the russians call the great patriotic war. president vladimir putin used the occasion to compare the fight against hitler to his so called special military operation in ukraine. with roger it is. you're fighting for people in dumbass, for the safety of our motherland, russia, and i sure may. the 9th 1945 will always be a trial of our single soviet people. russia's preemptively rebuffed the aggression, it was timely and the only right decision, the decision of

a strong sovereign independent country me. some was the year to lease from him. as the missiles and other military hardware paraded through the streets, onlookers back there, presidents decision to send russian troops in to ukraine. no more door stronger. i think the operation had to take place. we must win it, bring it to its logical ent only this way. not a single step back protest by the rule. i fully support the decision of the russian government in i don't condemn it. i think we would have ended up with naziism and uses evil. great. now we must raise all this in ukraine. this fascist tribe must be wiped out from the world completely. that's why putin is doing everything right. always. which and didn't say when the operation might end. but he also didn't use his speech to broaden the conflicts or make a formal declaration of war. as some had feared. this civil appeared to be marked more difficult and bloody as n. ah,

we expect we expect that this will be all bottled or a damned boss will cantino? i'll probably have to say i'm joseph. i'm middle bob. now sama and zan are based on said his uncle's, his bottle and gun boss on your political decision. so now will be made put in late flowers at memorials to the 12 so called hero cities, which include odessa and kia for outstanding heroism during world war 2. the commemorations continued as president putin let the procession of what russians call the immortal regiment. carrying a portrait of his father who fought in world war 2, defending the city of saint petersburg. he was joined by thousands of others who lost relatives in the war. similar ceremonies were held across russia and in the occupied territories of ukraine. in what is left of mary opal russian back separatist leader, denis shaylin told

a small crowd that russia is here forever. president clinton says he has no doubt that the military operation will achieve its objectives in ukraine while he continues to use his country's past to justify its presence. a tactic that's proven to be mostly successful so far with in russia. dorsey jabari al jazeera moscow. and let's discuss this further now with current volker, who's a former us ambassador to nato. he's joining us vice kind from paris. thank you very much ambassador vodka for being with us on al jazeera. so all eyes were on the red square to day in moscow, closely following what present putting had to say, what is your reaction 1st to this speech, what stood out for you? well, 1st off, i think what's most notable about his speech is what he did not say. he did not claim that there establishing new independent republics. he did not claim the paralysing territory to russia. he did not claim to some new vote rusito. so he

actually was brothers due to bel, what the objectives are in ukraine, and i think the bad is significant. the 2nd thing that he did is he said that they are responding to some kind of imaginary needle read, ju, russia, as opposed to anything else. he's worried about justifying the war. so why is that? i believe it's because the categories and the damage that have been inflicted on russia, on the public nose lives. so we have to give them some kind of explanation as to why we the, the fact that they would defending against them imminent natal forever and put in didn't as had been rumored announced and brought a war he didn't call for a general mobilization of russian forces as many people had expected him to, when you look at the current situation on the ground in ukraine, why do you think he didn't do that? it, and what do you think his options are right now? well, i think the most important factor is they don't have the military equipment to supply

a larger home. of course, they have actually pulled equipment out of storage already. they've sent it to the front lines. it is in poor condition. the parts are missing. they've been, they've been scavenged for the. 6 back market. so russia doesn't really have the capacity to generate additional military capacity. so there's no reason to call people. the 2nd reason is that if they did, and they called up the conscript, are not part of the military. up to date, they are not trained. you'd have families and people are much concerned that they're just throwing these young people into their depth, and that that will be very popular in russia. i don't think it did actually proceed with general mobile zation and get away with rushes on. right. but you say that they don't have the capabilities right now, but given the unpredictable nature of put in leadership, should we sell prepare for the worst?

well, i think that's what we're going to see over the next week or a month. is it continuing shipped to the direction of the war rather than russia being able to accumulate for launch? it's going to be trying to dig in and hold the games that made you koreans. we're going to be pushing back and trying to bridge the russians out of their territory. and that has everything to do with the leadership in russia that has not communicated a, a credible mission to the armed forces, low morale, they have for training worked, whitman and meanwhile the premiums are actually defending their homeland. and. busy we fight back, so really the change in momentum of you talk about a weeks and months, ambassador volker. so presumably you think this is going to drive, gone for some time if the russians are digging in as you say. but do you sense that western power is especially the u. s. is going to be with ukraine in the long run. if this conflict keeps going. yes for sure. and this is actually one of the things

the positive thing that we've seen in the last few weeks is that resident biden went to congress not with a one week or 2 week last monday, but with 5 months. and this means that he is sending a signal to russia that we're going to have very $3000000000.00. we're more immediately available to continue to support your frame militarily, as well as economically and with united her assistance. i believe that being matched as well by the european union to we're going to see a very robust set of american european support for months ahead. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to a skirt vulgar, former us ambassador to nato joining us there. from paris, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. have a tree day has been observed in some parts of eastern ukraine under russian occupation. and as russian troops tried to capture more territory they,

i bake has more. well, today it's been relatively quite old, though there was a town mac oliver mac liquor, which isn't far from here. that was getting hit earlier on we saw the smoke rising from there, but generally it's been quite ball. so there's not many people around now we were in chrome at all. this is like a ghost town. not many people around. most of the shops are closed. and that's because, so many people have left because this in the east of the country is the front line for of, for ukraine in the ukrainian troops here. now the authorities here say that the russians have hit around 15 locations here in the east using air strikes, missiles, heavy artillery and tank fire. but the russians are pushing and the intention is to take a pos of the east and the south essentially are land locking. ukraine to that. fighting is continuing and many people here have left this area. there are some of the supermarkets that are open. a lot of their, the shelves, the empty,

the accused sector. perpetual stations is a limit on how much fuel people can actually buy. but like i said, it's very, very quiet. are very few people out on the streets. that's because most people fear that the russian push is still going on. the russians are still trying to take territory and they feel that in the next few days, there will be a further push from those troops are not far from here. in fact, around 18 kilometers, the united nations secretary general has visited moldova. it's home to the russian breakaway region of transistor. yeah. and there is concern that russian forces could attempt to caesar to complete a land border back to russia. antonio terrace is more of as help with refugees from ukraine has been immense. for 9 may of all days, we remember that dialogue and corporation based on mutual respects as the bedrock of peace and security in europe. and there on the walls. i congratulate republish

the republic of moldova on the surface anniversary of joining united nations. and thank you for your contributions and strong partnerships in areas including peacekeeping, sustainable development, gender equality, climate change, and i would go on and on. chance stratford is innovating west in ukraine and as more on the terrace is visit to model that i think is very telling that the un secretary general is in moldova, given what we know about what has happened in the last couple of weeks on increasing phase amongst western analysts, western european governments about potentially this war expanding further into europe, or at least in moldova case, e. u, aspiring countries, let's not forget that it was a couple of weeks ago that a russian general was quoted by into facts. russian use agency is saying that this phase of russia's war could potentially see russian forces taking control of all of

sudden ukraine to that trans mr. region now trans mr. is a breakaway republic of moldova. it's not even recognized by russia, but in the last week or so, we have heard of explosions and shootings in that break away. so declared republic transitional authorities, blame the ukrainians. they quoted a ukranian terrorist tackle said that all indications suggested that ukraine were involved in this the ukrainians denied it. but also what's very telling is what this russian general said about the oppression of russian speakers inside transmission. and it is that kind of language that was used by valid may uprooting, in order to, in his words, legitimize protecting russian speakers in the breakaway republics of 2 nets. and luc ganske, french present ammonia mccaul has been holding tanks with gemini, as chancellor. all i've shown in berlin is called for europe to corporate,

and may be ongoing crisis in ukraine. luke kennedy said that gentle sooner ukraine is taking older risks. therefore, we have to build a new political, not just a legal form of the council of europe together with the human rights court, which has been shaken up by russia. that we have to find a political form that makes it possible to keep these values in europe, and to have political coordination with solidarity in terms of security. without doubt that not the same thing as nato, but cooperation and solidarity cooperation in terms of energy integration, solidarity within europe, energy solidarity in order to be able to move forward together with infrastructure and connections to nasty faggot hell, twinkle, threatening our opa at this moment there is a war in europe. we are supporting and standing with ukraine, with supporting them with financial and humanitarian support and weapons. we have

to do everything to avoid that was spilling over to other countries. therefore, we will be discussing our investments and to ukraine. and of course, with german french weapon projects will be discussed with her and on. his algebra is natasha butler in paris, with more on macros visit. was very significant. a manual mike, all going to have berlin. it is something that he did in 2017. when he was 1st elected his presence, there is no coming. it's no surprise that he chose berlin wife again off to his re election as his 1st overseas trip. this is about, i imagine michael, underlining what he sees is the fundamental importance of the franco german relationship, not just as a bilateral relationship, but also as a relationship which really defines in some ways we've seen so often as the motor of the european union of both macro and all actually the german chancellor said are in their press conference together. they felt that it was very important to

reinforce and strengthen and bolster i. e. u sovereignty in several areas, but particularly in the area of energy. very relevant at the moment. of course, in the context of the war in ukraine, the use trying to reduce it, sir. energy dependence are on russia, but schultz and michael said that that was absolutely essential and vital. they also both pledged their ongoing support and commitment to ukraine in its fight to for its own sovereignty. and they also said, of course, they would do everything they could to try and see if they could bring a russia's invasion to an end. this was a meeting of these 2 leaders very much focused on the war and ukraine. very much focus on the european union. rushes ambassador to poland has been covered with red paint. ah, survey laundry was at a soviet. you're a woman, oil in war. so 4077 bands are 3

a big 3 day. he was founded with pains why moving through a crowd of protesters and 2 more had on this news hour, including the true cause of the war in ukraine. unclaimed bodies of soldiers are left. facts have been trained by staying covered up. why many south koreans are remaining cautious about coven. despite a relaxation of the rooms and in sport, there's no escaping alcaraz. the spanish teenager gets the backing of a big tennis star after his latest. when he does coming up with joe ah, that's our daughter world news and for people, including a member of parliament, are dead in sri lanka on a dramatic dave. i've seen the prime minister resign the m b was caught up in the latest violence by the circumstances of his death, remain unclear. lord burton manly reports o a show of food on the streets of sterling could captain colombo,

public discontent, have been simmering for months over an economy close to bankruptcy. prime minister ma hinder reggie pizza has bowed down to pressure to resign. today's racing nation is lord you, but he is unlikely to address the cause, the demands of the producers don't ye? randy spied the curfew in a state of emergency many on the roads now because they feel they are cause bad. the man's need to be ha, demonstrators have rallied for weeks outside the offices of roger pack for and his brother, president got a pyre. roger pack for demanding booth stepped down. oh, monday morning, approved government groups due to protest camp outside the prime minister's office . a talking people with sticks and metal bars,

destroying the 10th cues for food, fuel, and medicine. a common for the 22000000 shoreline khans the pandemic. a loss of tourism and rising oil prices are all hitting hot. foreign reserves is dwindled to about $50000000.00. the monthly gas import bill is $40000000.00. the government has turned to the international monetary fund for bailout, but that will take at least 6 months to be finalized. not just the i m f, sri lanka is also too hard to get a hold from india and china and other countries just to even get some bridge financing to get over the next 6 months. and i so much on political instability. it provides little confidence to even get that kind of financing a state of emergency and care if you have been imposed on the military deployed on the street thoughts, public anger remains and so to demands for the president to follow his brother and

resign to law about among the under syrup allergy, there's me now fernandez reports from colombo that roger pac says resignation is unlikely to qual protests. there was a case of when and it wasn't, if that my him, the roger pock so would resign though he had been insisting in recent days that he should be the head of a replacement interim government that he hadn't created the crisis. so that he should actually stay and even this morning's violence was very much, i sort of kicked off when supporters of his thousands of them in fact, were routinely boston to his official residents. it's the violence that the unleashed when they left the residents that really started this the violence. but as you can see, are probably behind me. i'm here at the protest site outside the presidential

secretary in colombo. there's a curfew in the entire of the island, and does it seem like people actually care? it's actually given them the motivation to come together and fight back. so people actually having reached the sort of top of that tolerance and not willing to take any more where they'd be in the form of intimidation. we also found that a state of emergency was declared just 2 days ago, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect on the people they have said enough is enough. they're going to take a stand onto the roger boxes and the government resigned. while it looks like the next president of the philippines will have a familiar name to many there. early counting after mondays, presidential election shows a commanding lead for a long long marcos junior. his, the son of ferdinand michaels, who was toppled in the so called people power revolution. in 1986, marcos is reported to have one more than twice the vote of his closest rival,

vice president. many robledo final results are expected within 48 hours. journalist said regencia says is that there's been a big effort to re brand the macos me for did marcos junior and joyce over 50 percent popularity or, or approval. and in fact, the older generation has expressed some of the style jobs during the market years. so called the year some marcus's. but when, in fact, this was the time when 3000 activists were killed, were 70000, were arrested in thousands more or disappeared. so there is really a systemic effort to re brand the marcus name. and in fact, i believe that this started as soon as they left power in 1986. but it looks like this year would be the year that they would be able to succeed. and really returning back to power redness,

queen elizabeth will not attend to face state opening of parliament on the advice of her doctors. buckingham palace says the queen is experiencing episodic mobility problems. it's the 1st time in 59 years. she's been unable to give her speech live to san diego for more in london. so as we said, for the 1st time in 4959 years, the queen won't be delivering this speech very significant. sonya what it is not least for the 96 year old monarch for whom this is regarded really as crucial is not the principal constitutional duty that queen elizabeth does take. so yes, she has met, she had missed it before in 1959, 1960 the month and 63. when she was pregnant, those that were read out the state of the thing upon them was been read out by the law chancellor. but this particular episode course goes back to her issues that she has with her mobility. she's have these problems affecting her ability to move

since the autumn, really. and it's also been really evident in the number of events that have to be counseled recently as well. not including also the announcement that she was not going to be hosting the god and policies at buckingham palace. now of course, there is really an urgency for the queen to take as much rest as possible because this is a very significant year for her. if the year platinum jubilee and there is perhaps a sense of nervousness, whether the queen is with the queen's house, will impact this tool. and of course, everyone really in the household will be absolutely crossing my fingers for her health to be able to sustain all those celebrations which are going to be happening in her on this year. but nevertheless, the queen does have further engagements. she will be attending private engagement. she will be holding her usual calls with the prime minister later on this week. but

as far as this decision is concerned, that was taken on the advice of the royal doctor's certainly one that she would have taken with a loss of regret given the utmost importance, she does have her constitutional duties. sonya, thank you very much for that. for me again, live for us in london. alice, one person has been killed in 2 others seriously injured after a passenger train derailed outside of austria's capital vienna. the road crosses another 11 people suffered less serious injuries in the accident. the cause of the des raymond is not yet known to south korea in our way the wearing of masks remains popular despite the government relaxing. corona virus was a week ago, while mcbride re, for some sol when mosque mandates have been lifted in other parts of the world that have been scenes of need jubilation, of finally dispensing with the things after 2 years of breathing. your own breath. but south korea went it out last monday, but not outdoors were no longer mandatory,

but only recommended. this was the result of fall from a few exceptions, most must remaining firmly in place. it's now a week later time enough you would have thought for the message to be getting through. you don't have to wear it. no, none of it. i still have to wear a mask of doors. it's 7 convenient to take it off and put it back on again. i have not been infected yet, and i believe the virus can still spread to others, even outdoor cells, and so much going on with it. i also want to take off the mask, because if i just think about my convenience and get infected, i could spread the virus to others. apart from some pandemic fatigue like anywhere else, south koreans have gained a reputation in the past couple of years for public spirited cooperation that probably accounts for the continued mosque wearing. but this is also a society obsessed by looks. and it's thought that women have welcome the chance

not to have to wear so much makeup, old men to shave so often. and then of course, with cosmetic surgery, being so popular here. it's thought some people may use the mask wearing as a way of having any number of procedures without anyone ever finding out ahead on the news, our abundance plans in animal life versus large scale mining. we look at the environmental battle that's happening in ghana and a former world number one is on her way to the next round involved. you'll have the details in a ah, ah oh, hello. they're great to see the wind continue to be the big story across the middle east, especially through the golf. that's our small wind. so we go for

a closer look, it's blowing down from iraq of the north northwest, and that is picking up some of the sand and does for the eastern province of saudi rate. through cats are, especially when you consider those winds at some points will be gusting to 65 kilometers per hour, while weather has continued to slide further toward the east. so a big drop in those temperatures for bish tashkent shall be but we've got high heat rate through pockets done. so we'll narrow in on this region and i think by the weekend some spots may hit 50 degrees. this includes 4 was shot. so that's getting pretty close to the record of $51.00 after turkey. same situation here. com in the west, disturbed weather in the east. also seen some showers pop up for southern areas around on talia with the high 26 degrees. central africa. it looks like this, most of the activity, western areas around coastal sections of the congos. and as we get toward the south right now, not much to talk about. we've got plenty of sun. if we focus on south africa durban,

it's looking good with the high $23.00 degrees, and same goes for cape town, pretty much spot on for where you should be. this found that the year. ah, during the debate there is no he job bad. i mean, if anyone here talks about women's rights or suggested decent seem to have been says, notes or pictures of the table, we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket street to help all the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources and the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. a comment section is right here. the part of today's program this stream on al jazeera, when the news breaks, surely now, incoming shows lighting very close to the building when people need to be heard. and the story told it's kind of inspiring moment for me,

for all of them that assume their guy from their community, with exclusive interviews and in depth reports what the, what is still really al jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries, and live news lou ah, ah, you're watching the news hour on al jazeera with me fully back table. a reminder of our top stories present got to me put in his told his soldiers in ukraine. they're fighting for the security of russia. thousands have been marching and law schools, red square on the day. russia celebrates nazi germany. surrender to soviet troops. in 1945 ukraine's president marked a sombre victory. de suggesting russia's invasion is equal to that of lofty

germany's bodine. zalinski says evil has returned to ukraine in a different uniform end. but for the same purpose, she has a blue shoe, gold rushes, forgotten everything that was important to the winners of world war 2. but ukraine and the whole free world will remind them which. so that then no one will forget to regain their weight. the really important woods never again, which are repeated round the free world every year. it memory of the victims of world war 2. while the return of war to ukraine has come at a huge human cost to civilians and soldiers on both sides. o dabbed hamid report, some keep on the horace of the conflict the real tool of this war for russia. unclaimed buddy bags stacked and refrigerated trains. soldiers dead under foot line, as russia claims to rescue the russian speaking population living here. ukraine

says about 25000 have lost their lives so far. but russia was that number at about 1300. we were given rear access to the bodies left behind. as russia retreated from the key region and another buddhist grew interested, he was an elite paratrooper. this jewelry was found on him, allegedly stolen from ukrainian civilians. it was a rush at the shore. you crying to reach the dead enemies better than how they treated civilians. they will be kept as long as need be. the government will decide because russia refuses to take them, it doesn't wanted. each body is a proof of war cry. so if they refuse to take them, ukraine will bully them at our own cost equal when the war is in his 3rd month. but so far, moscow has no clear victory to show for it. even in predominantly, russian speak in mo, you paul, where it did enjoy some popular support in the past. now you have again you so

snuff. sky says dills voices are gone. he just came out of the port city 2 days ago . a u haul neil superior present a water bill? yup. are your whole national? are we cycling past the destroyed theater building? i noticed that they were clearing the main avenue and the central square, perhaps were preparing for the seal called victory parade. but also could still see the blue and yellow of the ukrainian flag and vendors are refusing to sell goods in rouble only ukrainian currency. yes, can you douglas if guinea, as documented life under occupation as much as he could without getting detected by soldiers? hardly the image of a liberated people the kremlin, want to portray. after failing to take eve, russia has concentrated its air power on destroying ukraine's infrastructure in what it calls a special military operation. but so far more than $3000.00 civilians have lost their lives and the human cost for both sides is rising. by the day

olga is among the millions replaced by the conflict. she is also just made it to safety with her 2 young children and mother. i never thought of the new will of certainly before their arrival life was good. we had the beautiful city barks every one had life plans, war, freedom of choice, of language, freedom of movement, freedom of thought. we lived freely. then russia came to rescue us deliberate at us from our houses, our jobs, some of their lives. some of the alexa arms that the liberation olga has now switch to the ukranian language with her children, while russia celebrated victory against nazi germany at the end of world war 2. it is now in battled in a war that didn't go as expected for that. the humming of dizzier keith in other news, world leaders and delegates are meeting in ivory coast as big as city abbey john to

find ways to protect biodiversity. the main goal is to start for a time, land becoming desert. the you and estimates $12000000.00 hector's is lost every year. allergies is nicholas high for a for to man affected village in synagogues, port all region. on the edge of this, a hell in northern senegal is no doubt they no longer awake this, but a village thinking in the sand, gone, or the green pastures and vegetable gardens. it hasn't rained for almost 10 months . the villagers used to grow food. now they're going hungry. they're emaciated cattle. look for what's left on the sound. hope for shomberg bark comes in the shape of a cloud high above. but will it rain? i don't think so. even when it rains it doesn't stick to the ground. it's gotten so hard, even birch dropped from the sky. it feels like the desert is moving forward, swallowing our village. and so the men are leaving on the move is onion. farmer

buck are gay. he sold his land for a $1000.00 using the money to pay a trafficker to take him to spain by boat. he worked as a stonemason in mulligan, constructing homes for british taurus before being caught, and deported by spanish. authorities made on the situation is bad. it's bad for all of us. we can't go back to farming on the coast, people's homes being destroyed by the rising ocean. i am ready to try to go to europe again. and there are many more like me. might have someone give you my do fall, spend 4 years in the spanish prison for trafficking african to spain, cancer and starting the blue people and not seen war but droughts. it's when there is no water, no rain for 89 months. there are more punches to europe and so traffic is what for the term of the year when people are desperate to do the crossing, why these are for now these men have turned to fishing in santa we, but the catch is meagre. access to the waters are restricted because of next year.

british petroleum will begin extracting liquid natural gas on their fishing. and this is behind me as a senegalese navy ship here not to protect the fishing vessels and fishermen from the rough seas, but rather to protect that v p platform that you see in the distance. it is here. one of the biggest discovery of liquid natural gas in the last 2 decades. the problem is renew that platform, is a called water coral reef rich in bio diversity, and that's about to be destroyed. the discovery will bring some new jobs and revenue for senegal. but most here face an uncertain future, caught between a rising ocean and an expounding desert. nicholas hawk al jazeera and jodi northern synagogue. so what exactly is desertification? while it happens when land dries up,

often because of manmade factors such as deforestation, over grazing and poor irrigation practices, as land as degraded top soil, vegetation and crops die out, it also causes more water shortages and can lead to poverty force migration, and conflict. 70 percent of the walls try lands already degraded. that's hundreds of millions of hector's one in 7 people around the world. or more than a 1000000000 people could be forced from their homes as a result by 2050. we'll have to speak to sam. well, jack hinder about this is the program manager at the regional east africa office of jess, dig it, and organization committed to re greening africa is joining us live from merrill. we thank you very much for being with us on the african continent. as we've heard, has been particularly impacted. why, why has this so desertification become such a major challenge for africa? what factors have contributed to the desertification of the continent? thank you very much for having me. a africa mainly

because many bye. i don't know who they are so much have a great a, b, a, b, a. what have been the factors that have contributed to this for a moment. bear me fast because there is a, in it, there is a lot of take me a anyway route. so

that you will find a community have in trees for a job or a many things that contribute to it. finally, population increase a little bit more about the impact is had on human health for example, on food security and economic activity. yes, this is how are we looking for food security? we have files that i can put any more a a,

a b, so negatively on for security is why is because that, that a lot of levels. yeah, that's a sometimes a lot of life, right. we've seen this happen in, in several countries in east africa or so how then do we stop it? how do we stop the justification as a pan african proposal, which is called a great green wall, which is looking to plant a wall of trees at the side, the nature of this? how does it do such initiatives? make a difference? you think this, we try to come by a rule i really fox or we have
