and the flows good and connected together. it office broads. does profits that are easy to make and hard to ignore. perhaps it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plates ah. demonstrate justify a curfew in sri lanka to demand the president's resignation. how's off to his brother steps down as prime minister ah, alarm clock. this is out 0 life. doha also coming up ah, celebrations and protests in the philippines. the son of a controversial former president. it's likely to come the next leader on the far, the coastal ukrainian city of odessa is hit by russian missiles while the u. s. has

president vladimir putin trying to rewrite history? ah, south korea's new president calls on yeah. to give up its nuclear weapons. it, it's changed from major economic aid is enormous. ah, and certainly 7 people are being killed, including a member of parliament after rival demonstrations escalated into st. battles in the sri lankan capital of columbia. it was followed by the worst economic crisis in decades and the government inability to address it. the prime minister has stepped down. now his brother, the president, is under pressure to go to michelle fernandez as more from columbus as things intensified late into the night yesterday. the authorities decided to extend that island wide curfew into the early hours of wednesday morning. but as you can see

around me may be over my shoulder. i mean, the one thing that's as large as life is a smouldering bus, and there are many of those dotting colombo ah, basically, remnants of watch protested. had set on the buses that brought all of these ma, him the roger boxes, supporters for that meeting. that the prime minister had before they then went and unleashed violence on protest her who had been calling for the resignation of the raja fox brothers and the government. so a large military presence in colombo that we've been driving around and seeing, we hear that this is the same around the country as well as the authorities try to get a handle on and get the situation of tensions that really are, went out of control last evening i under under basically some semblance of normalcy and control. so that seems to be working so far. we haven't seen these

are sort of a groups going around or looking for my mind. roger. some parts of supporters or mobs that had created violence. things seem to have sort of been, are quietened down. but despite the curfew, there are people on the streets as you can probably see, milling around, even this burning bus. demarco's family looked set to return to power and the philippines. beneficial results of the presidential election suggested referred not marcos junior. could become the next leader for the 6 years after his father was overthrown in a revolution to melon during report. not from manila. oh, i thought counting got turned away, it appeared for it didn't mark as junior was searching ahead. he's the son and named c. the former philippine president described by many as a dictator and ousted in 1986 revolution or the b. i call this

not done, i started or worked, but i wanted to issue a short statement and it essentially is a statement of gratitude to all of those or been with us in this long and sometimes very difficult journey. yeah. are you the 10 candidates are running up, but for the presidency venue? it's widely considered a 2 person race, vice president lenny roberto was also the leader of the opposition, is trailing behind. marcus junior. initial results show a lead, so white pool experts believe it is unlikely robledo can catch up. jason in your was up. and while i'm with you in the belief that the elections must respect the full voice and well of the people my life, it is important that the people continued their belief and respect for democracy. more than 60000000 filipinos voted for the successor to president rodrigo, to 30 in one of ages, oldest democracies. oh,

here in one of the biggest polling presence in manila voting day was marked with frustration. about malfunctioning boating machines. people lined up for hours and refused to leave, even as the pulls officially closed. for more mom, brittany lam, you're born. we want to be here one. we want to see over by not going through the machines and see the receipt of a much bigger telecom obtainable for what we refused to leave our posts. this election is too important and every vote is secret. the election commission assures the public that it is very much in control, and the sanctity of the votes is still protected. a marcus presidency would mean an extra ordinary return for a family that was forcibly removed from power 3 decades ago through people power and could become the most consequential election in recent philippine history,

jamal alan dugan al jazeera manila. while the results have already spot protests against voting irregularities, farms, louis has more from manila. earlier behind me, there was a crowd of around 300 to 500 people protesting outside the commission on election. a buildings saying that there has been electro fraud. they're referring to the fact that people say they haven't been able to vote a 1800 vote counting machines were not working properly. now that although is just a small fraction of the total number of vote counting machines that still represents double the number of machines that didn't work in the last 2 elections. now also, if you ask people who remember what life was really like in the philippines under martial law, during moccasin his administration, they will say that this victory was only made possible rather this presumptuous victory. and because the official results have not been announced, yet, they will say that it has only been made possible because of a mis information can paint now. but of course, if you ask macos supports,

his mark was junior supporters. it is a time to celebration in the early hours of tuesday morning, and some of them were there outside marco's campaign headquarters in manila, chanting, marco's junior, his name, waving flags. it's quite hot to say with a certain degree of certainty, what sort of policies are middest, his visit ministration and incoming administration will have. because the marcus campaign has been very thin on details and has been very limited media engagement, at least where macos junior is concerned. but there are such remarks that he's made that would make it able to glean now he's likely to be pro china just like its predecessor due today. he's also likely to he, but he's also said he's supposed to 10 days, controversial war on drugs which has killed thousands of people to mirrored. mary poll says at least a 100 men, the still trapped to the still plant besieged by russian forces. united nations has

been coordinating evacuations. we created officials had said at the weekend that old women, children, and elderly, had been rescued civilians and soldiers had been trapped inside the as of stall facility for nearly 2 months. as russian attacks intensified the remaining ukrainian soldiers, a refusing to surrender, saying they will fight to the end. at least one person has been killed and 5 injured during russian shelling of ukraine's southern positive, a desa, the cranium military as a shopping center in warehouse where hit a death. in his face sporadic bombardment, the city was largely sped in. the 1st phase of russia invasion, the past week, several towns himself. i've also been bombed the strikes for the council present to take cover and shall. michelle was visiting the city to emphasize it's important for grain exports that have been blocked by the war. delays that adding to a global food crisis. the cranes present has flooded this landscape, has called on the international community to pressure russia into easing its

blockade of ports, then shouted, initiate the president. charles michelle visited odessa today. he saw with his own eyes what the block see me with, for the 1st time in decades in odessa there is no usual movement of the merchant fleet. no port work, ordinary life connected with the sea is blocked by russia. and this is a blow not only to ukraine, without our agricultural exports, dozens of countries around the world are already on the brink of food shortages. and overtime, the situation can become, frankly terrible. the united states is accused russia is president vladimir putin of trying to rewrite history during the speech to mark victory de the annual celebration of the defeat of nazi germany. in 1945 ended with fireworks display. and moscow led putin led the traditional parade. he told russian forces they're fighting in ukraine for the motherland. and it suture. he didn't announce victory in ukraine, nor gave any indication of when he thought the war might end. what we saw president

couldn't do is, is, is give a version of revisionist history that took the form of this information that we have seen to commonly as the russian playbook. now what is fortunate is that we are all aware reporters around the world are aware. europeans are where americans are aware of the disinformation factory that present impudent and the kremlin seemed to be. but the suggestion that this war, that was prompted by directed by president putin, was prompted by western aggression or western plans is patently false. and absurd. let's say now from the gulf ma, who's assistant professor of russian discourse and politics at the university of governing. and as she says, the criminal can portray victory in ukraine because of its control of the russian media. given the overwhelming censorship on the russian media space is possible for us to make any kind of claims and claim whatever victory they want to claim.

especially given that they did manage to secure some parts of the course on air region. and also they managed to almost take money, but is known in, in russia as the base for those regiments, which has been used by the russian propaganda to paint the entire ukrainian nation as a nation. so this is something that is quite symbolic for, for the russian propaganda to use in put a species specifically talked about the protection of done bus peoples, which he did not say any, anything about some kind of retreat or advance in ukraine proper. he only mentioned them bus, which also something quite indicative of him trying to stick to the initial narrative of only protecting the people of them. but there is definitely the sentiment of as long as there is no war. and that's why the russian government is so reluctant to call it war in general,

because the soviet people that were the way that most people raised, even the current generation, the way the way that they were ranged, was also about russia sense of peace. and it cannot attack anybody, so pressure never attacked anybody. so this is the kind of sentiment they're really trying to promote and even pulling the aggression against the green war would be a massive blow to this. even people see that what is going on is in fact a war. so i had here an out 0. i could old growing problem with gang violence fighting between rival drug cartels in a prison. these dozens dead or on the run. and the dangers of being a woman in mexico protest is accused the government failing to solve the growing list of crimes. ah, the journey has begun. the faithful world camp is on its way to cattle. hook your

cattle package today. well the spring sunshine is doing its work, most the european plane is nice and warm. many places, bit warmer than average. there is an obvious pole cloud here and that's a cold front which means temperature like to drop a little bit at least as a cloud. because of the top and it's quite windy for the british owls and probably the low countries and eventually rest scandinavia. they're asked it a few showers around in romania, not quite hungry, but down through creation bits of italy. it's a remnant last few days actually weather, but it's generally speaking a fading story. so we can overlay the temperatures and you've got orange or red that's nicely warm, but just pick a few places. but let me just focus briefly on prague. i think the won't last until wednesday, and then increase in the breeze. maybe the cloud will see things drop down just a little bit, but that's all it is for. this is wednesday's picture. very few shall round out a sunshine, but an increase in the cloud to clean germany and poland. jumping south. now we've

seen dust in the air persistently through north africa. that's no big surprise. it's still very hot in senegal, but the hottest wells probably now in the chair may be chad, and it's in this area where the seasonal shower start developed quite big was on a daily basis and they're getting well in to the very dry cell official airline of the journey. healing the debate, there is no he job back. if anyone here talks about women's rights also does this, this bill seemed of been says, note topic is off the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket strength to help all the companies deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources in 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 team are now to sierra, ah

after more than 2 years. protest calling for new government, send a how to reports from beirut is wanting change to the ballot box for it. difficult task. these squares were empty to protesters months ago. a battle for change, one by the political establishment. now, the movement for a new lebanon that began in late 2019, has shifted its focus from the street to the ballot box. different coalitions born from the uprising are contesting the upcoming elections. many of the candidates are young and optimistic, but they know political change won't be easy to do, but suffer from the, from the corruption or the, or we need, we know that you need time to change. we want to go into the fundamental change from inside. yeah. they're up against the sectarian base system of power sharing and leaders who are more powerful than the state politicians largely blame for the

country's economic color elections. although from the outside or democratic, they're actually run by the regime itself. and the regime has proven to use different fraudulent tools to secure its when so from plan for them to violence, to repression, intimidation, and even manipulating vote counting which we saw to 2018 election. but those empowers still have supporters and they have been accused of using violence. in this incident, the opposition was prevented from launching its campaign in the electoral stronghold of the muslim she, our group has below. and among the honda mit to him, we accuse the forces in charge of the region of being behind that and they are known to prevent any opposition. activity in lebanon, sectarian and political divisions are deep, and the opposition to was unable to unite to contest the elections. this benefit the political leadership,

which also relies on an electoral law that in trenches pick terry and politics. for those wanting change, this battle is about building a strong civil and functioning states. but they are seen as politically immature and criticized for lacking organization and failing to appeal to the masses. in the last election, those campaigning for civil society in lebanon known as the change forces, 11 seat in the 128 member parliament. this time, they're expecting to gain a few more, but not enough to change the system, but for them, the election is a necessary battle in a long war. then the oceans either beta conservative eunice akila has been sworn in the south cruise. do presidents where the, the presidents were among thousands, attending the integration. so in his address student called for the complete de nuclear station of north korea. and he said the door remains open for dialogue with young young. but it was connie tech, if north korea genuinely embarks and

over by the new president, the 20th president of south korea, and also listening to his inaugural address. but he is a conservative. we have just had 5 years of liberalism ministration here, which was bent throughout that 5 years on trying to get better dialogue with north korea to facilitate it. all of these as summits with president trump, with united states. well, there has going to be a change to that. the conservative unit has said that he's going to take a much tougher line with north korea. and it does, does come of course, after we've seen these uptake in missile testing from the north, well over a dozen missiles tested since the beginning of this year. more recently we've sold an icbm and intercontinental ballistic missile loans. the sort of miss all we haven't seen loans is 2017. that was at the end of march. and then just this past weekend, a new type of submarine launch, ballistic missile, which seemed to be north, korea's way of sending a message to president noon. but the eunice promised to take

a tougher stand. he's also try to, he said he will try to restore relations with ne, but japan, which has been strained in recent years. and also with the traditional ally of the united states. us presidents, joe biden is coming this way so we are likely in the coming months and possibly years, especially with his conservative administration here. seeing a returned to the kind of allegiances and alliances we had during the cold war of the last century. dozens of prisoners have been killed and many more on the run. after fighting between rival gangs in ecuador, the battle began when a gang leader was transferred from another jail, the santa ramp yeti. as more on this, this footage shows to my m. inside the bay of easter prison in santo domingo, dozens of dead bodies are seen, piled under blotted floor. the inmates were killed in another night to fight between rival gangs. officials say it was triggered by the arrival of a gang leader. it is the latest in a series of deadly riots inside withers. prisons that my urea is yours to put

another cedar kathy, most of the victims of not almost 100 percent, were killed with a knife and not with a firearm. and most of the bodies were exposed and assaulted in the wards and in the cells. distraught relatives rushed to the prison. desperate to find out what had happened, while many were killed, some managed to escape. more than a 100, were we captured on monday, nor sutherland that armoire la la la. we found out about the riot when my relative called to say they were exploding dynamite with firearms inside. they were entering the cells to kill every one magellan. better as dowdy than not by them. we don't know if he's dead or alive yet, like that. we want to know if he's dead or alive. that's what we want. people not nearly for 100 inmates, have been killed in prison riots in little over a year, ecuador has seen an increase in gang violence. his rival groups supported by

pressure mounted on state prosecutors, authorities were forced to admit some mistakes may have been made in the handling of the investigation on them. off all alike woolfolk fable focus solar so sees at our disposal to was determining what happened. and if this implies a chromos tightened place, we will apply the full force of the little leak on the heater debit. his family says the case highlights the failures of authorities, both to protect women in mexico and to solve crimes committed against them. what was the deputy was missing for several days? the state prosecutor's office didn't do their job correctly. my mistake was trusting the prosecutor's office. disappearances are an all too common problem, inv alone in just the 1st few months of this year. more than 60 women been reported missing in the city of monterey alone. head out of the martinez has been looking for his sister for more than a month now. he says, assistance from the government in finding her has been like having no help at all.

but i me have better the atom for me, the 1st 16 days she was missing were wasted, which is very important. the longest is the remains missing, is evidence you 30 is not doing a good job. many in this part of mexico say that a lot of the complaints about the government lacking resources, having poor training and a tendency by authorities to downplay the seriousness of the problem can be traced back decades. b y lucky that one s elise, his daughter, brenda went missing in 2011, though brenda was later found dead. one has since dedicated her time to helping other families find that they are missing, loved ones alive, and to call on the government to do more about missing persons cases. no c, g, as in dog lawson is moss m. it is. it's the same investigators as always, and the same inconsistencies as 2011. the authorities don't do their jobs, right. they say they have equipment, but we looked into this. and the only thing year is their job titles. the case

great recession of that is just now realizing, and it's going to get really. the pandemic slowed the u. s. economy in 20202021. after workers got sick in factories shut down. that lead to global shortages as short staffed cargo companies, left shipping containers behind on the dock. now the war in ukraine has sent fuel prices and the cost of shipping, sorry. just a demand for a broad range of consumer goods begins to fall. supply chain experts call that the bull whip effect. you have tons of inventory and, and not enough inventory, and you overreact, and you just keep going through this vicious cycle. and we're, we've seen that over the last couple of years, and i think we're now headed in the other direction. experts predict a recession among shippers within months in that could lead to a u. s. and possibly a global economic downturn in a really corner of northwest arkansas. many of those experts from trucking

companies, leading universities, the pentagon and elsewhere, have gathered at a conference on the future of the supply chain in hopes of staving off the worst. the panoramic in the war ukraine have put things in the supply chain and that is made the process of getting goods for manufacturer to consumer, more expensive and more complicated. the people at this conference are working on making that all smoother and less expensive. after 2 rough years, one major kink in the supply chain in the us has been assured give driver's transfers is a kind of labor for shippers acting as an intermediary to link trucking companies with drivers. there's a bottleneck there right now because there aren't enough drivers to fit in those seats in those trucks to get those the trucks and the goods deliver another solution. self driving trucks like those made by torque, a subsidiary of daimler trucking, really is going to change sounds like you're not talking about entirely

replacing human driving. absolutely. now, we're here to help companies with driving the teaching the build a void and help them like with new pandemic variance in know, in to a ukraine war. that slowed energy distribution that will likely continue to leave those drivers still. manning the wheel bracing for what comes next. john henderson, al jazeera rogers, arkansas. one of the most recognizable portraits of hollywood actress marilyn monroe is sold for a $195000000.00. an auction in the united states. that makes annual holes 1964 silt screen painting the most expensive artwork by an american artist. but it did fall just short of it. $200000000.00 estimate presets proceeds will be donated to charity. ah say that.
