results. what picture is emerging of the next lebanese parliament? hello. everyone has a new parliament. many of the old faces are back, but a significant number of new ones. one seats in this parliament, like you mentioned, the iranian back has the law and their allies. they have been stripped from their party mentoring majority, but no political grouping, no alliance, no party has the parliamentary majority. this is a very fractured and deeply polarized the parliament, many groups and it is still not clear whether or not those in the opposition. and when we say the opposition, the anti hezbollah camp will actually work together or come together when voting on certain issues. there are many divisive issues in this country, but really a new since the post war, new and post war politics. you have at least 13 seats,

newcomers the so called chains, forces, people who are not the allies with the mainly sectarian parties. they made games. and this really is a breakthrough, but the biggest question is, are they a united block? because if they are a united block and agree, they could also be the king maker. so a very fractured, deeply polarized parliament you have has ball. on one hand, you mentioned the christian lebanese forces, these are all time enemies and their supporters have clashed industries, so polarized ation and tension in the streets as well. so what you talked about a lot of pressing issues, of course, for lebanon. what will this traction to parliament mean for the most pricing is surely, which is the economy well, yes, the parliament will now have to appoint a government, agree on a government, and elect a president, and in just a few months, will they be able to do that political deadlock is usual in this country,

sometimes it takes months until the different political courses actually come together. and now the just so polarized, will they be able to do that? and the new parliament will also have to adopt reforms, anti corruption laws in order for lebanon to be eligible for billions of dollars of a, from the international community, the international monetary fund. this is a dollar hungary country already the local currency which has crashed as even the valuing even further. just in the past 3 days. fuel prices are intro, increasing. people were really hoping that there will be change new politicians ready and willing to carry out reforms to bring this country revised the economy. but right now people are worried that all we're going to see is turmoil and more political instability. and the fear is there could be unrest in the streets as well . zina thank you very much for that xena hard to lie for a say in ukraine's

ukrainian health territory later on. and what we've heard from the deputy prime minister is that this exchange deal is full, severely wounded. ukrainian was a really ruined, wounded russian. now yes, there are remaining people in that sense, remaining fighters and russia has been very clear with its demands. it's off them to lay down their weapons and surrender. and so far, they've refused to do that. not the ukraine, at least politically for ukraine. they want to save those service men, these athena heroes that those that defended merrier poll. but from inside that time, those fighters have repeatedly said that they feel that done by the politicians in keith. and they've appealed for a 3rd party to intervene and organize some sort of evacuation for them a matter terran cardoso. they are able to leave so far, that hasn't happened yet and dosage. barry has more now from moscow on why the evacuations are so important for the russian military. the remaining pocket of

resistance was in this and large ground to hosting the as of style steel plant. there was about 2000 ukrainian fighters at deborah, held up in the underground facilities at this plant. and the russian president was adamant that he did not want the russian troops to storm this plant to avoid a, the unnecessary loss of russian life. now since then, there has been a continuing battle in this plant between russian forces and the remaining fighters until they apparently on mondays sent out about 9 of their as soldiers, the ukrainian soldiers waving white flags. and in the morning and then they started a dialogue with the russian military to coordinate with the assistance of the international committee of the red cross, as well as the united nations to start the process of evacuating the wounded. now we understand that most of the fighters that are left are all wounded. at this stage. these men have been fighting for over 80 days since the russian forces

entered mary opal. on march 11th, they said that they wanted to continue the fight, but now it is virtually impossible for then the ukraine 7 poor city of odessa has strong historical links to russia and many people they still identify as russian ukrainian officials say, some local collaborators are helping the cremins war effort by supplying sensitive information. oh dr. hamid has been out with a police swat team and has his report. sh with the switches to the sleeper this ukrainians. what deep sets up on his daily mission going after people suspected of having links with russia. oh, the nightly curfew is about to be lifted. they assured the person of interest is to let oh yes, certainly. you are a deluded, good doria,

but yours. we have people in odessa who supports russia. we found weapons and ammunitions they were planning to use once the russian army arrived in the city. when you to d stay, but the situation and use against a local official, suffolk atoria. they have connections to the russian military re, dablin, you know, like a dozen or russia. ukraine has been under martial laws since the beginning of the war. the government believes that informants are helping the russian army underground. said this has become their main task, going from home to home in the hunt for possible collaborators. this man turned out to be innocent. but on the 2nd raid, the man opened the door wearing a t shirt from his days as a soldier in the soviet army, shoulders in warrior with you have any russian em blends or symbols. they ask, man, no, he denies. but in the next room,

they find the russian colors and his computer reveals he is following russian news outlets band in ukraine since the start of the war. and when pressed about the conflict on $1000000000.00, we were shooting dope boss for 8 years. and now they are forming us in return his law, who is right, who is wrong? i don't know, asked the politicians, wilma, someone really. and what them bullshit. but his message is on his phone that arrives the most suspicion, glorifying the russian military's past and present. and talking about the ukranian army in a derogatory way. technologies having a big role in this war. there are several apps and chat rooms where citizens can submit photos, videos and information about people or vehicles they deem suspicious. cyber investigator sift through hundreds of tips every day was verified. they pass on the information to the swat team. you claim claims that more than $700.00

collaborators have been detained. and dozens of acts of sabotage have been disrupted so far. but it's a fine line, especially places like odessa, which share historical roots with russia. it's a difficult situations. vit lana tells us as her husband is taken away, lena, i do not agree with the war. but we lived in soviet union. i'm half russian. how can i throw the russian flag away? yeah, yes, i don't agree. i don't understand what's going on, but this is my blood work. should i have a bought a me to raise it? it's more difficult for him because all his army veteran friends are there. there are still people in ukraine were torn between the 2 identities condemning rushes attack on the country, but not able to disavow their past. most of the people question on that they will let go to the police. the task of figuring out who poses a real threat is

a challenge. what up the law meet al jazeera, odessa, a prime minister appointed by libya, is east and base parliament has now left tripoli after fighting between rival armed groves. fatty basheba and several ministers. arrived in the capital early in the day to take control of the government from the western administration for the unity government led by the shipley base. foreign minister abdul hamid debarber has refused to concedes. our libya correspondent malik trainer has more sets he beside arrived in the early mornings today around 3 am locally, according to his press office. later on around 5 am, 6 am. we saw clashes on the coastal road. the coastal road is on is a major, major road that are crossed us through our, the capital r clashes between groups that we're supporting for table show that we're protecting

him and those that are against him. and this is something that we, that libyans here know all to well to different governments. we have the internationally recognized government by led by prime minister of the army, baber basin, tripoli, and fatigue. bosher, who was appointed by the eastern base parliament. he has some support from various countries, but for the most part, libyans are sick and tired of having these 2 governments. we were libya was supposed to have elections in december. they were postponed. the, the current prime minister, after having today been tripoli, has said that he has been working to bring a bottle bring elections in june. it doesn't look like that's happening. and it's important to note that this is happening. while there are talks in cairo between libya's 2 legislative houses, the parliament and the high council state, they're supposed to agree on a constitutional basis to hold elections as a really very disappointing for many weapons. and the people and the residents here

that are going to suffer from these political divisions. still head on al jazeera, a sandstone makes life miserable for millions of people across iraq with some trade in hospital from breathing problems. cuba welcomes what he calls positive measures as a u. s. e. his restrictions on channel and money chances. ah, we could see some damaging winds for australia as tasmania state. hey everyone. so here's the details on wednesday. these arrows here that's our when. so for hope art could see some gus of about 60 kilometers per hour. we got rain through the interior of w a through the southwest as well, but it's moving quickly. so by thursday it dips down into south australia with just a few showers off to new zealand. we go, a plural, moisture hopping over that tasman. see this is running into the south island. north

a majority in parliament. official results show the saudi online lebanese forces party christian group has made huge gains and federal anti establishment. candidates have also picked up seats in libya. prime minister, appointed by members of parliament, based in the east, has left tripoli after fighting between rival on schools. the unity government in the capital refused to see power as ministers arrived to take control. and ukraine's military command says the mission to defend the as a steel plant is over. more than 260 ukranian fighters have been brought out from the last stronghold of resistance in the city of merrier at turkey's present phase, delegations from sweden and finland should not bother coming to anchor, to convince him to prove that nature beds rash type towana, keys, as in all the countries of being quote guest houses with terrorists organisations. that's in relation to sweden, reportedly hosting members of the p k. k, kurdish on the group finn and then sweden are ending 200 years of neutrality to

join nato. after russia, the invasion of ukraine, diplomatic editor, jayden's phases in brussels, where you defense menaces are meeting today. clearly, all the talk is about those applications from sweden and finland. what we're expecting is those applications to be submitted to nato in the coming days of very big development. bought turkey has opposition to this. turkey is a nato member. turkey says that the 2 countries harbor terrorism. and that means, i think effectively that they have supporters of the p k. k and kurdish nastiness living in their countries. this is something that i think throughout the week is going to be a big issue. we understand that the turkish foreign minister and the u. s. secretary state are going to meet in new york in the coming days, but how can this issue be overcome? it's a point i've put to the foreign policy chief joseph barrow. i'm sure the country will support extremely strong supported,

biggest possible report to the membership of a student and fealand. for me. i know that turkey has put some objections. a whole nature will be able to overcome them. but from my side, from side to the defense country, a strong support to these membership as those defense ministers meet, one of the things it's already been decide is you is going to increase its military aid to ukraine. further, some of over $500000000.00 is going to be set aside to buy weapons for ukraine. that brings a total that the use supplied since the russian invasion of over $2000000000.00 worth. some of the discussions here and the ukranian defense minister will be joining via video link will be exactly what that money is going to be spent on now . now each wave is sweeping through northern india, with temperatures nearing a records 50 degrees celsius in parts of a capital in new delhi. millions of lies in livelihoods of being affected.

but export point out that what you're seeing right now is basically a larger change of changing weather patterns. and in pakistan, unprecedented temperatures have led to water and electricity shortages. people have the nurse to remain indoors during the hottest hours of the day. come on, hyde has more from islam about for the bar. few, rick, buggers don, had recorded the high temperature and the wired and jacob bod and car, which are then the southern part of the country. central and southern part of the country are under a heat wave and warning that the temperature goes go above $51.00, possibly even touch $52.00 celsius that i've gotten leading to a cute water shortages. aboard for north brit goes of heat, stroke wick drums. and this is all happening at the time when, as you heard from bob, nate, this region, the north received

always been thing he gave in the be just back. but now, body of information that back you can review if you look in part of the global warming. so i don't think there is any doubt in albany because of what you guys are the kind of cities very the guy and all a building be constructing is also adaptive, being a heat being because the radiation that is coming out of the roads. and so it's a bomb edition of backed up, but a brian mentally now you've got to attribute the bucket start experiencing longer from 2015. both the federal and state governments in india have issued a number of measures to mitigate the effects of heat ways such as batting working outside during the hottest hours any showing time the advisories. but in your view, what other big picture changes are needed here to address this crisis?

so one of the primary change we need is to change the definition of c. global warming is not only freezing temperature. does all the same thing. human as human body react to what heat and humidity during high human period and high heat, you know, the in baps on a human what is much more then doing all the high heat meters, which is essentially means back getting heat. maybe it's been defined in terms of dr. bug temperature, only dr. temperature. but here you have to be defined in dumb. so every bump it, which can, you know, measure what heat and humidity together. so why don't we need to change the definition of the 2nd? we now have to start thinking about what kind of buildings we are going to construct. because today in gloucester, water building and building a building in new york and we have such uniformity invest. josh and

irrespective of of glen condition, the guy building that we are building in india and pakistan are not suitable to our family conditions that exhausted reading. but he did say so was from the perspective of developing a new, he told a human to be boss as a cities are something that we need to look at it carefully. thank you so much for talking to us about this chandra bush on seo of i for a scene channel for him for environment sustainability and technology. we appreciate time. thank you. and another sandstorm has haiti rock sending hundreds of people to hospital with breathing problems. frights have been suspended in baghdad and not drop in some schools and offices have been forced to close. is the 8th sandstorm since april. some say it's never been this bad in living memory. the weather is being blamed on climate change and the distraction of agricultural lands
