arctic circle swell. lithuania and poland sank. the baltic enclave of kellen in grant finland's membership of nash, i would add 1300 kilometers to the alliances land border with russia, more than doubling its length at diplomatic edison, james bass reports from brussels. nato secretary general yen stilton burg, welcoming the ambassadors of the 2 countries that want to become the newest members to join an alliance, which currently has 30 members. the ambassadors had with them their formal letters of application. this moment marking a radical change and opinion in the 2 nordic nations with long cherished that nor the line status of a change that's taken place in the period of less than 3 months. since russia invaded ukraine, every nation has the right to choose his own path. you are both made your choice of the follow democratic processes. and i warmly welcom do chris boy

finance with me to join nato. you are our closest partners and your membership in they do would increase our shared security of the current nato members. $29.00 out of 30 strongly support sweden. infancy membership. they both have sophisticated armies, substantial fleets of aircraft, and both of served alongside nato forces in the balkans and afghanistan. the leader of one nato member though has objections. turkeys. president irwin accuses both countries of harboring terrorists in particular kurdish nationalist groups. the u. s. is confident the turkey can be persuaded, and that's why the u. s. secretary of state will be meeting his turkish counterpart soon at the u and in new york. if turkey does change its position, the 2 countries could be sitting around the nato table as invitee nations at

also making sure that the whole nordic nordic region is secure. wild turkeys president has again expressed his reservations about winland and sweden speeds financial membership. reggie type on a que sweden of hovering what he called kurdish terrorists, not on getting them as if his image of nato's enlargement would be meaningful for us. as long as our sensitivities are respected. giving all kinds of support to the p k. k into the y p g terrorist organization, and asking us for support for nato membership amounts to say the least inconsistency and not all be the grand lake oldish and we'll do. big nato is the security entity. therefore, we cannot the yes to depriving this security organisation of security ration says almost 700 ukrainian fighters at the as of style steel plant have surrendered in the past 24 hours. it's unclear what will happen to them next. an early group was

taken to a formal penal colony in russian controlled territory, while the wounded were taken to hospital for treatments. ukraine once a prisoner swamp, a rush's parliament is considering banning the exchange of as of members for russian prisoners of war. crimes president says some fight is still inside that plant. i said bake has more from john april. he said that the evacuation is been overseen by the ukrainian military and intelligence, and he said, the most influential international mediator so that we understand that there's still some fighters there, but the ones that have been evacuated earth, most of them have been taken all of them in fact, having taken to russian control the russian held territory, but russia says that there will be treated by international standards. but also the russians are saying that they would like to investigate some of these nations for crimes against a, against a civilian population. now that's obviously propaganda coming from russia. they've held on to this line that they have invaded ukraine to de nazi fight. but what's

interesting about specifically about mario paul and the as of battalion is that this kind of fees, the russian narrative as of battalion it is a far right. a battalion, it was incorporated into ukraine's military infrastructure. and many of its members have been linked to far right groups. now that serves the russian propaganda machine. however, ukraine says that this battalion was incorporated into its military infrastructure and has now changed. but the as of battalion is seen as to death, are seen as the defenders of mary uphold the strategic port city. and this is very important for russia. this is their biggest victory to date in terms of this war and many other parts of the country's, their face set back. so, president vladimir putin want to make the most act of the situation and marable as could be viewed from moscow. now where did dosage barry, joe? so what was said in russian parliament, the drama about this mario post steel plant operation.

well, according to the speaker of duma i, he said that these are not see criminals and that they should not be exchanged with any russian soldiers. that are in ukrainian custody, and that there should be a trial set for them to at really show the international community what they have done allegedly, to our russian soldiers. we've also been hearing from a very prominent figure within the ad duma. and that is li noise, slootsky who is also a part of the a russian negotiating team with the ukrainians in those ongoing talks that have since a stop. he's had some very and severe views about how the as of sol, battalion member should be treated while they're in russian custody. he said they should use the death penalty and that they should really be put forth and a tribunal. i core international court where they have to answer for their a legit war crimes that they've committed. according to this lawmaker, there's

a sense that despite the fact that the mariel bull is now in russian control, and that the last remaining pocket of resistance, which was this as of style plants is being evacuated and almost complete. there's still no m complete victory for the russians. the narrative that is coming out of the russian media and lawmakers makes it clear that now the main focus is that they hang on to these lighters. and that they are not in favor of any kind of prison exchange in the coming weeks and months ahead. and i'm also more generally how a diplomatic talks going between moscow and keith. well, those talks began on february 28th just forty's, after russia launched, it's so called special military operation into ukraine. and many here believed that the dual track negotiations that were ongoing despite what was happening on the ground in that ukraine was really the main purpose of this operation to get the key

of government to negotiate certain things that the russians were looking for. now, since at saturday we heard from the russian president vladimir putin, who says that that talks have been suspended. he didn't provide any further detail about why they've been suspended. but we've been hearing from dmitri pess called the spokesperson of the kremlin, who said that the talks have indeed stopped. and this is the 1st time that we're aware of since they began in february that they have completely suspended, negotiated with each other, which really begs the question, what will happen next? will they resume that discussions at any point in the near future? and what is the main goal now at this stage if they're not talking to each other? so for now, the talks are suspended whether or not their resume remains to be seen, but it's certainly not a positive indication of things to come. no, not positive at all. thank you very much for that update dosage of our love for us in moscow. thank you. a russian soldier has pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed

ukrainian civilian. he made the play on wednesday as a cave caught began hearing ukraine's 1st war crimes trial of the conflict. the 21 year old sergeant, nevada, and miss she, she moraine is charged with teaching a 62 year old civilian through an open car window. he's facing life in prison and russia is continuing. it's offensive in southern new crime. the honda abdel hamid is in the mc alive that was bombed earlier on wednesday. this is actually a strike that happened at around 520 this morning. now this is what you see behind me is a cluster of one story, residential houses that this is really the epi center of that strike. and everything you can see around me is completely destroyed. they are injured, but no one died in the strike, which is actually difficult to believe. if you just look at the,

the magnitude of the destruction here, you can see everything is completely charged and burned. and if you, if i was good, can show your inside. there is really absolutely nothing left. we spoke to the owner of this house. she is not injured, but certainly this is really a lifetime of memories gone in ashes. now the issue here nikolai, is that this happens on a daily basis. there are as strikes that miss any kind of target, there is an air defense system in place. but more and more this city is being targeted. we spoke to military officials in and up over the past 2 days and they say that they're being shelled either from the south. the have southern region which is now occupied by the roches all firm, or what they believed to be miss out said from the black sea. and also people are now more worried certainly with the changes on the ground in where you put the is.

i believe that now that russia is more or less in control of mar, you pull, it has this land, poor a door from russia all the way to the crimea. it allows people, it allows the russia to reinforce as president in the have southern region and may be pushed stewards here. because if you recall, in the 1st stages of this war, the russians had actually arrived very close to the a town of 400000 people is on. the black sea is, is known for its shipyards at the soviet time. and they wanted to push and russia stated and wanted to take all this land, all the way to the blackboard. see the seaport of odessa, and maybe also link all the way to more dover. so there is a certain worry that at some point there could be a push, even though we've been yesterday to the outskirts to the towns and villages around nikolai of do ukrainians have managed to push the russians back. now the issue is,

is the other wash is going to have a counter offensive now that the situation in my, you post seems to be more or less under their control. the european union is pushing forward with plans to abandon the use of brushing energy. it's proposing a $315000000000.00 package that includes more efficient use of fuels and a faster rollout of renewable power. european commission president as lavonne de lion says, the initiative is to help a you countries when themselves, off russian, oil and gas you're relies on russia for about 40 percent. if it's gas supplies, there's plenty more head on this news hour, including i'm the 3 and newman in havana standing in one of the countless lines or cuban say they are spending too much of their lives. coming up. i'll tell you why. 2 countries to governments, rather one country rival administration, fight for control in one of africa's oil rich nations

and spanish police arrest football fans on the eve of what could be a once in a lifetime. final ah, israeli forces have rated several neighborhoods in the jane refugee camp in the occupied west bank more than 40 military patrol, stoned, a number of palestinian homes. 17 palestinians were detained. the veteran al jazeera jealous sharina o'clock was killed in that same area jeanine at last week. french president manuel mccall is pushing for a rapid investigation into her death. she was shot dead in the head by israeli forces while on assignments. she rain was with al jazeera for 25 years, covering the story of these rally occupation. she was known as the voice of

palestine. and one of those palestinians who was carrying sharina coffin has been arrested by israeli forces. amro abu cadet was attacked by israeli police and occupied east jerusalem last week. his account of what happened was widely shared on social media. his lawyer says, all the questions during his interrogation were related to the funeral will be held until at least sunday. democratic congresswoman were shaded to lay has condemned sharon's killing. she told al jazeera, the us must be firmer with israel and push it to uphold human rights. overwhelmingly you hear people saying that we must use leverage of the money and the funding from the united states to promote human rights to push back against apartheid government to push back against the racism, the killings and the work on that of the united states. again, need to continue to speak up because our silence for the president bite into

a number of his officials are using words that i feel like, are you careful or not strong enough to make sure that there's really government knows we're extremely serious about again, upholding human rights we found hypocritical, we say, well, whole human rights and other countries and post war crimes. but when it comes to the apartheid government of israel, we are pilot and israel's prime minister has been challenged in parliament to reveal the truth about the officer who shot and killed showing that black left a member of the can s. it confronted him totally banish on monday. i thought charlotte. yeah. hi. how are you? good. i knew serene on both the personal and family level. i'm challenging the prime minister bennett, and i'm telling him in front of everyone that he knows the identity of the officer who shot sharina. i'm sure you know from which

a jeep the officer shot her from. you know, the rifle and telescopic lens, he used to kill serene. i know you are lying. you are a lawyer in money, because if i lied, the entire world would know. it's not me who's called the swindler by everyone. and once again, i challenge you that, you know, from which the chief, the officer shot her from much and you know, the rifle and the telescopic lens used to kill sri data could get to the world. news in the us is easing some sanctions on venezuela to encourage talks between president nicholas missouri and the opposition. the us recognizes opposition later won gladto as venezuela, legitimate president and imposed sanctions to try and out. maturer, washington says any major lifting of sanctions will depend on progress made at the negotiating table. for more on this, i'm bringing out what has corresponding kimberly. how could,

who joins us live now. hello that, kimberly what's behind this move and what sanctions are being lifted? well, what i can tell you about why this is happening now. you have to remember that this is coming just one day after the by the administration. also relax some restrictions on cuba is that basically these are back to back move. they're done in coordination and the timing is no accident. now in terms of the easing of the sanctions that are coming on oil rich, venezuela. what this is, is really a reef focusing of some of the biden administration's policy on the western hemisphere. and until now, there had been largely a focus on asia and the asia pacific region, but there is a new focus on this western hemisphere. and the reason is, is that there is a largely a setting of the table for an event that is set to take place next month in los

angeles. and that, of course, is the summit of the americas. now, some of these moves are controversial, even with members of the president's own democratic party on capital hill. for example, bob melendez, a member of the form relations committee. not having particularly with some of the changes to cuba policy. also, the president getting some criticism about his decision to ease some of the policies with regard to venezuela. given the fact that this does seem to be an appearance of working with governments with controversial policies, particularly when it comes to human rights in favor of easing some of the domestic challenges here, namely the very high oil prices, something that this administration denies. it says this is squarely on focusing on improving the lives of people within the region. and that is the motivation for these back to back decisions. and kimberly, you mentioned cuba, their president biden is also easing some trump error restrictions on cuba. what

impact will that have on cuban people? this is significant because for so long the cuban people have been isolated. even a, some of their family members are living so close proximity. many of them have, there's a large di asked for a living in the us state of florida, very close by often sending money. these valuable remittances are known, have been kept as of late, and this has been kept at about a $1000.00 mark that is now being lifted. and this is going to provide a valuable injection of money into the economy. another policy that's being lifted is the valuable visa program that had allowed for cubans to come to the united states that had been kept at $20000.00. or now this will be something that will be open to opt in terms of the family reunification program. this will also allow for direct travel, something that americans have not been able to do prior. if they wanted to even try

and get around it, they would often have to go to canada and then fly directly from toronto or vancouver, montreal, one of those major cities. so this is something that is significant because it's going to provide much needed tourism dollars inject that into the economy. and again, give provide the much needed economic boost that so many say that this island nation is needed for so long in day. thank you very much. for bringing up to speed, what has corresponding kimberly, how could live for us there? thank you. as kimberly mentioned key bait is facing its worse to economic crisis in 30 years. the last time life was this hard was when it subsidies from the former soviet union ended. tens of thousands of cubans are flame, the island in search of a better life. a latin american editor, lucy newman, has moved from ivana. i'm standing in one of the countless lines were cubans are telling us that they are spending the greater part of their lives these days. this

is just one line. there's learned just about every corner to my basic goods from a bottle of oil to cigarettes with their ration cards. and that doesn't mean that they're necessarily inexpensive. it just means that they might have a chance to buy them. this in cuba has become the new normal 55 year old low, the lena she lit that is returning home empty handed, after spending hours in the queue to buy. but her life is a struggle. she says, especially since her daughter migrated to spain, leaving her to care for her grandchildren. not her monthly minimum wage was $20.00 at the black market rate. our. she shows us her refrigerator full mostly of water, while on the new r lucelle, i have 4 children to feed up. i have no choice but to go on the street to solve this and that a lot. she explains the chicken by 10 packs of cigarettes for $200.00 pesos on her ration card and sell each one for a $150.00 on the flourishing informal market. a long lines for everything from food

to fuel revealed in economy in distress. law people's tempers are short from chewing most of the day. in this case, for 2 bottles of oil, scarce items are sold with a ration card, but most things are no longer subsidized. what are you with around bill? and it think when i got it i'm, i've been here since 5 a. m. and i've got numbers 1170. it's now 10 am. and there at least 800 people in line hoping to buy chicken cubes. cash starved economy is collapsing under the weight of harsh economic sanctions imposed by washington and append demik. that's paralyzed tourism cubis. economic engine, in all this, aggravated by 3 digit inflation sparked by a long overdue monetary reform. but often i saw last united duncan, the boy, a faded, we were obliged to devalue

a dollar currency by 2300 percent. one of the biggest evaluations ever seen in the regional havana state, one tourist hotels are empty. even his new ones are being built. the few russian tourists who came this year left as soon as war broke out in ukraine for fear of being unable to get back home. thousands of ordinary cubans who invested in bread and breakfasts before the pandemic, are now desperate. here's another sign where they rent rooms in central heaven. i'm going to check to see how they're doing because there's a sign here that says, god bless my business and those who visit. but we'll see just how many visitors they've had. hey i, when i started this with our se ringo big library won't bank on the lateral. it'll say i'm gay, letting me know that little money lulu middle shoals as her guest registered or she hasn't had any since last year. cuz i,

we go very wrong with that income. i could buy things for my grandchild without it were hard pressed on a so a, so the strategic planning chief says q was trying to diversify economy to increase biotechnology, industry exports and food production, ambiance, amber, neal, implement vendome, area, part of what we have been taking measures to strengthen and give more autonomy to a state socialist enterprises, which in our view with the fundamental actors of our economy in coming up from them and then men to her. it's clear that maintaining centralized control is still the priority. despite police for greater freedom for the fledgling private sector, those who hoped that the way out of this crisis would be to follow the example of vietnam or china would just have to keep waiting in line. the upcoming summit of the americas, which will be held in los angeles, will be the 1st opportunity for the cuban and u. s. president to sit down face to face and discuss possible easing of us

sanctions against this country. but that will require political concessions on the part of cuba. the u. s. has said that cuba and venezuela are unlikely to be invited to the summit of the americas. it's hosting next month. that's prompted a boy caught threat from the mexican president separately, quarter mile, as president has announced he won't be at the summit being held in los angeles. alejandro g m. a tase, angry at us criticism of his way appointment of the attorney general consuelo for us is own a u. s. list of so called corrupt actors. g m a t k says, what am allan sovereignty must be respected. ok, it's time now for the whether he's rob yesterday morning hoff is built, who's below a 100 meters. it's slightly improved throughout the day. this is the remnant though of the dust storm that came down from iraq, where things were much worse for this is worse than usual, have to say in cat on the winds, been up in pakistan, particularly in the north. and a similar effects been felt in islamabad. visibility comes down the dust and the

and the winds remain quite strong. but in this case they brought thunderstorms and rain and the result things were temporary improve because you know that to pakistan has been suffering from extremely high temperatures. at some point a severe heat weight and reco breaking heart, but it is lum about around the north and the random stuff kind of stone showers have been keeping things temporarily. cooter that'll carry on. now recently, tim should have come down a bit. we're up to $39.00 or $47.00, which is 4 or 5 degrees above the average. you're not really an extreme heat weight is not going to stay that way. temperatures are going up, particularly in lowland pakistan to want the 50 mach. i think there washer gives you 49 easily and still with a breeze. now northern point of india attempts have been high. they come down recently. they are creeping up slowly but not quite to severe heat wave conditions . we might even see thunder storms again, knock things cooler in delhi. and as rob mentioned, northern india is really under

a hate wave. at least 7 people have drowned in floods. in the northeast, half a 1000000 have been forced from their homes and hundreds of villages was swamped in the past. 3 days. farmers in some states say they have lost a majority of their crops as one of the river's overflowed still ahead on al jazeera, not enough to go around. how can we know kitchens emperor was struggling to feed the pool? plus the world's longest serving prime minister is getting ready to step aside. we look at his controversial choice of successor and in sport. find out what made his eyes hockey play. take out his anger on a television camera here. ah frank assessments, what are the political risks, robotic russian or the gas for western leaders or sanctions on russian energy exports? possibly for such informed opinions,

france is not abandoning to fight against yet, is still reserve media debt going to be attaching from nisha and from chad critical debate. could china actually help in russia's invasion of ukraine in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera women use brand shilling. now, in coming 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 to see their guy from their community, with exclusive interviews and in depth reports. but the river is still remain. al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news. lou

ah ah. hello, watching out his ear. i'm emily anglin. he's a reminder of our top stories, the solemn finland and sweden have handed in their formal applications to join nato . they've long been neutral, but russia's invasion of ukraine rapidly shifted public opinion in favor of nature . membership. russia meanwhile says almost $700.00 ukrainian fighters at the as of styles steel plant have surrendered. in the past 24 hours. it's unclear what will happen to them. now ukraine is suggesting a prisoner swap, but russia one some to be labeled terrorists. and the u. s. is easing some sanctions on venezuela. to encourage talks between president nicholas madura and the opposition. the u. s. recognizes opposition later won water as venezuela's,

legitimate president and imposed sanctions to try to answer mature. one of libby's arrival. prime minister says he'll move, he's a government to the city of cert. from wednesday fatty basheba attempted to enter the capital tripoli on tuesday. but he was blocked by supporters of a rival administration that led by abdul hamid to baber libya's had to governments since march when the parliament based in the aisd appointed basheba as prime minister. he says the elections that were postponed were approved by the international community. and will follow, and we'll focus on following the political process. good humor, howdy, little esa. that government has worked to, to lay and undermine the election. they refused to go to the election approved by the international community and the u. n. we did not resort to force or insults. we followed a political process sort of, we will never use corruption. we will never corrupt the political life. while the tripoli based government of prime minister debate had described tuesday's

developments as a desperate attempt to spread tara and chaos in the libyan capital. and in tobacco and hen village. and the resolution is no future except through elections. the cool attempts of field who went to the we can confirm it over again. malik china has the latest from good amens in southwest lubin. this isn't something new in libya, olivia, or fort for the decade for more than a decade. libby has been engulfed in political divisions and violence, seen 2 governments at numerous times, one in the west, and one in the east. and really, people are frustrated. they want to see elections are when the elections were scheduled in december. more than 2800000 libyans registered to vote. so there's a huge appetite for libyans to elect who they want to see them in power. and, and both are frustrated at both after having the baby and fed taper server are really they don't really care who, who, who is in control as long as they can stop the violence,

stop the conflict and bring stability to the country are like you were hearing the damage the dam is a is a historical city. it's also the old town is a world heritage site, a school world heritage site. and just behind me, this is, ain foot us or this bring in a waitlist. in the middle of the desert is over 4000 years old. and before the violence and the political division started, thousands of tourists used to come and see this and see the city. and the economy was, you know, was, was booming because of it, it, it depends on tourists and, and since these divisions, and since this violence they, their, their economy is struggling. so the regular people across the country that are suffering due to these political divisions and violence and they want to see it and, and they want to see elections as soon as possible to show lanka. now where the government is telling people not to cue at fuel stations because they've run dry,

the government is struggling to pay for new supplies and other essential goods. and the newly appointed prime minister is wanting the most difficult months a year to come. and al fernandez reports from colombo, angry, frustrated and helpless. she long kerns have had to queue up for most to centrals in recent weeks. today they were told there's no more petra left. you'll be at the diary love, i'll report. i came at 8 o'clock this morning, but when i got close they said the patrol was gone. i don't even have enough to go home to live with our but relatively what i got to that, i figured out, maybe it's the poorest people that are the worst affected we can't cope. a massive tax cut. the 2019 easter bombings targeting hotels and chargers and the pandemic have sharply affected government revenue. this, together with unsustainable debt mismanagement and corruption made it difficult for sri lanka to face the economic problems in recent months. foreign reserves have fallen to near 0 and the government can't pay for basic essentials. this included

fuel from a tanker anchored off colombo port for the past 45 days. the government owes $735000000.00 on earlier fuel supplies. retro some ha or don't chew up for petrol because we are working with very limited stocks, which are being allocated to essential services, like ambulances, it will be saturday or sunday before supplies are available. oh, to love is facing its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948 shortages have brought ordinary shoe lankin to the streets, demanding the president go, tubby roger boxes resignation. he says he won't resign and has appointed a new prime minister runner vicar missing her, voted out of parliament at the last election. he has a lot to prove demarco pi bear, or what her mother you and i will have to deal with the most difficult times in our lives over the next few months. every one will have to face this with commitment.

after months of stalling, she lanka has open talks with the international monetary fund seeking a bailout. but that will take at least 3 or 4 months to yield any relief. credit lines, emergency loans and aid have held the government limp along in recent weeks. but observers said, the sooner there is political stability, the sooner the economy can begin. it's long road to recovery. minute fernandez. alger 0 colombo, esther allianz, go to the post this weekend with the liberal party seeking a 4th term in office. as sarah clark reports from sydney, security in the pacific is a major campaign issue. thank you very much. very soon as the security pact between china, solomon islands came as a surprise to australia prime minister, where very concerned the solomon islands were very concerned for the broader security in the south west pacific agreement. we'll see,

basing increased time with the pacific islanders and helped a safe guard. national security is driving government morning. the pac threatens regional stability and allows china to expand militarily in the pacific. the islands, prime minister, declared peace on the right side of history. forging close ties with blazing. we've been treated as kindergarten students walking around with cold, 45 hands, and therefore we need to be supervised. we installed the on going full out over the pack has dominated the election campaign with recriminations on both sides. the coalition government has vowed to increased funding for aid and economic development to reassure our nations of australian support. the opposition says it will establish a stronger diplomatic network to resist china's expansion. the region is changing very quickly around us. and what we're saying is perhaps that australian policy is

a bit slow to catch up to it. it's not to say that the concerns haven't been there, but there's a certain, there's an incrementalism to china, a strategic push astrology and the united states via the pac could see china establish a naval base less than 2000 kilometers from the strolling coast. senior colonel, china people's liberation. army said that's alarmist, i think it is a you. okay. and the response will be edible nation to cry. they alleged to savage phase as cross read law is wanting tags to say that legation from china, including the foreign minister, is expected to visit honey, are as early as next week. if the 2 goes ahead will coincide with high level quote, talks between the strategy of japan, india, and united states in tokyo. i must say that's a deliberate attempt by shing to try and overshadow their dialogue. it's also
