what's happening on a daily basis? the medics is a, he is incredibly lucky. those coming out across the lines of no, no man's land where one of the few to gain access to this embattled town. they take us to their basement, where we find others sheltering from the shedding. these are about 2 weeks now. the price of 3 days journey devastated buildings are now a grim reminder that the russians were here. how and why did who and become so obsessed? with this law, we were giving them a tool to hold corrupt individuals and human rights abusers accountable. they're going to rip this deal apart if they take the white house of 2025. what is the world hearing what we're talking about? ply, american today, your weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. talk to alger 0. we are. what is the time table in your mind? when do you think you can be off of russian gas? we listen or, and i have seen and played football with these refugees. i look at them and they're happy. they smile in we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store,

respect matter on out. you see, ah, you lead is agree to buy most russian oil imports in the harshest punishment yet over russia's invasion of ukraine. meanwhile, and now the journalist is killed covering the war, and ukraine struck by shrapnel inside an armored vehicle. ah, working out for their life from london. i, mary, i'm the mozy also coming up on this program after a day of provocation and violence. israel is said to be considering the designation of to ultra nationalists groups as tara organizations and disaster, northeastern brazil, where floods and landslides have swept away everything in that pond.

ah, now you lead as meeting and brussels have agreed to buy more than 2 thirds of russian oil imports. members have been meeting in brussels to discuss the next round of sanctions on moscow for its warn. ukraine. hungry had been leading a group of countries that rely heavily on russian energy and was refusing to agree . but the you council presence as the block has come to a deal off to several hours of talks. our diplomatic editor james bay's joins his live now from brussels. he's been following developments there. and james, can you give us some details on exactly what they've agreed to and how hungry off to blocking this sanction has agreed to to go along with it? yes, so it seems that after nearly

a month of trying to get this through this 6 package of sanctions, the breakthrough has come while the leaders were having their dinner. the news coming to us just a few moments ago on twitter from shall, michelle, who is the president of the european council. he says, unity is the 1st word of the tweet because this came by twitter agreement to ban export russian oil to the u. this immediately covers more than 2 thirds of all imports from russia. now that is not what the you originally set out to do when it 1st announced this 6 package of sanctions and the ban on oil, it was gonna cover all russian oil. what it now covers is oil that comes from russia into the e. u by ship, but not oil that comes into the e. u by pipeline that will be dealt with later. now this is because of the objections of one country mainly, and that's hungary. and even at the start of this meeting, the hungarian prime minister victor oberon was making it clear that he didn't think

that was an agreement here. but he has been won over. remember, the hungary is a landlocked country, so nothing comes to ship by ship to hungry. it gets all of its russian oil by pipeline. also, we're telling you that this isn't the only part of the sanctions package. they've also agreed de swift being taking out of that swift network, the largest russian bank banning 3 more russian state broadcast is and sanctioning individuals according to president michelle, who are responsible for war crimes. so the e u has finally it seems got the 6 package of sanctions over the line, but they've had to water down a bit. they've watered it down, but as was also basically in the coming months, even just binding the, the, the oil that is shipped, as you say, james, the see born crude that's going to have consequences for europe as well. are you hearing much over there about the possibility of peace negotiations? some sort of compromise?

well, certainly there are differing views on that between different you leaders. what should you do? should you talk to putin, the germans, when the french were talking to putin again over the weekend? others are much more hard line view almost that if you give something to the russian leader, then he'll just take a bit more. so there are very different views on, on how the diplomacy should play out, and certainly the official line when you speak to any of the leaders, it's what we're here to support the ukrainians and it's up to the ukrainians to decide. but in fact, i think there is, there is some nuanced differences behind the scenes and that create some tension around the, the table. when all these 27 leaders are meeting. thank you very much. our diplomatic editor james base are putting on the eelie does meeting, and russel's just, we're taking a look at what the eel is done to help ukraine so fine. now, block says that it mobilized about 4 and

a half $1000000000.00 in financial humanitarian aid. spent about $2000000.00 on military assistance individual eat countries of also donated a large amounts of arms and heavy weaponry like tanks and artillery. and then along with the oil ban, the e was also passed its harshest ever sanctions against russia. ukraine has also pushed forward in its bit to join the european union. though france has warned it could take years. or in other developments, hans is also demanding investigation and investigation after a french journalist was killed in easton ukraine. that he 2 year old federico law clerk him of was fatally hit by shrapnel wall covering a ukrainian evacuation operation. this happened as france as new foreign minister was on a visit to cave, with a promise of weapons to help with the war in russia, with the war. with the conflict in the country, they must ravi reports from keith. france's new foreign

minister catherine calona began her visit to ukraine by paying her respects to the dead in boucher ukrainians. describe what happened to civilians at the hands of russian forces. as war crimes suggest, a sentence. we must tell ourselves that they should never have happened here, and it shouldn't happen again from stand with it. it's allies to do what ever possible was to bring back peace support and solidarity likely to help paris reset relations with keith. ukraine has accused france of siding with russia as the war carries on. the hope is france, diplomacy with moscow, will help ease russia's blockade of ukrainian ports and restart the export of ukrainian crops vital to the global food supply. but that is not all ukraine. hulsy chavonee sure, i stress today during the meeting that ukraine's need of additional artillery

systems of 155 caliber remains extremely important to win the battle for don bass. we need to significantly strengthen our artillery potential, which we know the vice you a clear message from colonus counterpart, ukrainians who have been paying the price for russian aggression in lives for years . need more help. her trip was underlined by a cruel coincidence. the brutality of the war brought closer to home with the death of a french journalist covering the war, frederick the clerk, him half from b if mtv was killed by showing of the low husk region while accompanying an armored mission to evacuate civilians. colona called for an investigation into his death. the number of journalists killed covering the war now stands at 20 for the war towns and villages and the eastern south has become a patchwork of fighting. the spotlight is currently on separate. that's one of 2 cities in the husk region, still barely under ukrainian control. the russian siege of the city has come at

a high price in lives and military assets on both sides. for a phone call, with a lower for medical weapons and ammunition left behind on the battlefield. this russian soldier says are from ukraine's western allies, even as they collect trophies and conquered territory. what they considered decisive battles may not be over what your friends is sending ukraine more help. during her visit, the french foreign minister said that her government will be committing more essential equipment to ukraine, fire trucks and ambulances to help cope with your daily bombardment of russia's villages, towns and cities, but more crucially heavy artillery long range howitzers that it is hoped will help turn the tide of this war in ukraine's favor vain basra, the oldest era. ah, now israel's defense minister benny gans is calling for 2 extreme right wing groups

to be declared terror organizations, members of love, amelia and le, hover at the forefront of violence against palestinians on sunday, when tens of thousands of israelis marched through eastern lemons, marked the anniversary of its occupation and wrong con has more on this the 2 groups he's talking about all the hava, and i'm la familia, la familia, is a football, hooligan organization. there's no other way of describing them. other than that, they follow jerusalem by tom, but they've been accused of races behavior of attacking palestinian israelis. arabs, and they both have been accused of criminal activity lava. oh, a religious ojo nationalist organization that dedicated to the purity of jewish blood. they don't want any arabs, any palestinian israelis in historical palestine at all. they want rid of them all and they espouse things like attacking people. if they find out that they're in

a mixed relationship. so that's those, the kind of groups are talking about. but this message, it doesn't mean that those groups will be designated any time soon. a, in fact i should what might happen is that this could take quite a while because there has to be a wide agreement between all of those members of the coalition for it to go forward . and that's very difficult. the other thing that natalia bennett needs to worry about is the language we saw the jerusalem flag box, those insults that hate speech death. the arabs insulting the gymnast calling and terrorist, you know we, i was there. that's exactly what i experienced. all of that may mean that another palestinian israeli member, the kinessa key member of the coalition, resigns. if that happens, the coalition falls to pieces. the government falls on this early elections on the palestinian prime minister, described divine. it's an occupied east, jerusalem as aggression that crossed all red lines, some items the shower israel yesterday has crossed all red lines and international

been meeting in brussels to discuss the next round of sanctions on moscow. as a result of the war in ukraine, and then france is called for an investigation to the death of a french journalist, killed in ukraine's lohan screeching, ukrainian official say for the reek, look, look him off was killed when russian shelling it a vehicle that was evacuating civilians and israel's defense minister is called for to out for nationalists white when groups to be declared. terrell organizations, the groups what the forefront of violence against palestinians during a parade through jerusalem's old city on sunday. now in all the stories of following china's foreign minister is urged, 10 pacific island nation is not to be nervous about his country's aims. after failing to strike a sweeping you agreement on trade and security, while he is in fiji as part of the tour of the pacific. diplomatic battle for power and influences, brewing between china and the west. wayne hay reports from a 15 capital suva. as pacific island nation slowly emerged from the

covert 19 pandemic, and you, diplomatic battle is under way, and china is on the offensive. rebuilding the regions economies will take time and outside assistance, and beijing is extending a helping hand job war. don't be too anxious and don't be too nervous because the common development and prosperity of china and all the other developing countries would only mean greater harmony, greater justice, and greater progress of the whole world. the latest stop on chinese foreign minister, one year, 10 day tour of the pacific was b g, where he met prime minister frank binding. madame geopolitical point scoring means less than little to anyone who's all community is slipping beneath the rising seas, whose job has been lost or pandemic, or whose family is impacted by the ip address in the price of commodities. the main feature of his visit to sue there was supposed to be the signing of an agreement

with foreign ministers from 10 countries. but it didn't happen. the so called common development vision outlines wide ranging plans to improve relations between china and the island nations, including increased cooperation on security. last month paging signed a security packed with the solomon islands, that some observers say may lead to a permanent chinese military presence there. this vast region, again, finds itself caught in the middle of a much wider struggle for power and influence at the moment being courted economically, isn't a bad situation for these countries to be in. but the areas strategic importance has many worried that that struggle could be taken to a dangerous new level. the pacific nations are also on the front lines of climate change. and that's been a feature of the foreign ministers to many countries here are at risk from rising sea levels. and there's a sense there concerns haven't been taken seriously enough by regional powers, australia, and new zealand. despite that, experts, a fiji in particular isn't going to sign any agreements that will harm relations

with its allies. figured as i want to have. i think i'm too much dependence on any one country. ah, and it's, it's very, i think in port for fiji to have good relationships with all the major powers. one ye may not have secured the regional deal he was hoping for, but the chinese will be taking a long term view of their pacific relationships. this has been a highly visible to us so far and that in itself may be viewed as a success. wayne, hey, al jazeera soother, fiji i'll at least $91.00 people have died after mudslides towards their neighborhoods in northeast and brazil over the weekend. 26. others a missing is, is now the 4th major flood to hit brazil this year mechanic. he has more from rio de janeiro. oh wow. i rescued teens are working around the corner. recovering bodies in searching for those still missing. thousands have been displaced,

you book or there is no doubt that climate change in the rise of temperature in the atlantic ocean are also responsible for these extremes. cold weather, hot weather, droughts, and rainfalls. they've all become more severe, learned besides bad weather. poor urban planning and low income neighborhoods in many brazilian cities is also responsible for the number of deaths and the mud flights. hearts of slums, built on hills, were swept away by water in my this woman saw her neighbor's house collapse with our body. while the whole family died. the father, the 2 children, the wife all died. president j able sonata toward the region in a helicopter, but was told it was unsafe to land. by the 1st of the most awarded pesa, we express our sorrows to the relatives. our main objective is to come to the relatives and to help them population from also matter said the government can make available to 100000. i was dollars to help victims of natural disasters

once again, they took to the streets to voice their anger against the military. now one thing that they have been repeatedly saying is that they don't recognize the military empower and life any decision said the military make including the decision up and listen to the emergency. they never recognize the state of emergency in the 1st place. and one thing that emergency allows for was security forces arresting people and detaining them from the protest. and political activists as well. at least 63 protective were released as well as political detainees were released following the decision to live the state of emergency. the protesters once again took the district and they're expected to once again go out and demand the military hand of authority develop on june. 3rd, that's the day that come on the rates, the anniversary of an attack on approved democracy in front of the army headquarters in 2019. now, the political parties here today have welcome to move to live that stated to make, which was imposed on the day of the takeover last year. but they said that's not

enough. they say it's paid way for with the indirectly or directly between the political parties and the military. but this is more need to be done to create a more conducive environment. and for fruitful talks, the united nations mission here has also welcomed the lifting of the state of emergency. they've been calling for that move for weeks. now, seeing that it will precipitate, it will help facilitate talks between the various political parties here to break the deadlock and the stalemate, but has left them without a functioning government for nearly 6 months now. well now, decades of worn, afghanistan has devastated the country's education system, the taliban bod women from education when they were previously in power from 9096 to 2000. and one and girls have been unable to attend secondary school since they were time to power 9 months ago. school just isn't even an option for many kids, especially those in remote areas where it's particularly acute. but there is one innovative project trying to help catch up has how diane has more. oh,

this is the only school. most of these children have ever known a mole while school call pen path travels from village to village in kandahar province. in southern afghanistan, there are no classrooms or desks, but there is a will to learn. but that's a high did it look at it. i think it is very nice here and i'm learning a lot. i just wish that the schools were my eldest sister, cousins, and other older girls would open again. the makeshift classroom is carried on a motorbike with a tv set and books with subjects taught by 8 volunteers. schools are scarce in these remote areas and across afghanistan, around 3 and a half 1000000 children, mostly girls, don't go to school on that up yet on the honeywell, if they want. long lasting peace and stability in afghanistan. and if the countries to stand alongside the rest of the world,

notice all the attention should be given to education, especially in the areas where there have been no schools in the last 20 years. actually, you know, come back in march, the taliban ordered schools for girls above the 6th grade to close for girls living in remote areas. the 1st challenge is not having access to a school then as they get older, not being allowed to attend one. what you do these villagers support the project, but convincing a deeply conservative society to allow their daughters to study in school isn't always welcomed, but there are differing voices. now that's due to for couple of the showing junior, we are very happy that boys and girls are able to study here what i think the government must reopen, all schools until the 12th grade for both boys and girls. it's their islamic right . and it should be given to them, pull it up on the sun. the project has its limits, but the founder hopes it will play a role. however small and helping the next generation, katya lupe,

a civilian al jazeera, now that the largest dam removal operation in us history will soon begin in california. it builds on a wide, a trend taking place. almost 60 dams have been torn down in the past 2 decades. as rob reynolds reports from home brit is latest deconstruction, isn't just about the environment. the klamath river leander through steep mountains and lush forests. it's banks are home to ospreys and great blue herons and playful babies of otter's fishing guide. jack trout is worked here for 29 years. there is something about the klamath river that just makes me feel better about life in floating feeling, the waves. but in spite of the apparent abundance trout bleeds, the klamath is in crisis. there was something terribly wrong with the salmon ram.

and i mean the spawn was just here and gone so fast. it wasn't natural. salmon were once incredibly abundant. here they were the corner stone of the ecosystem and the main food source for indigenous people in the region. the, your rock, the hoopa, and the carrack, those days are gone. this is the iron gate damn one of several built decades ago for hydro power. it blocks off the salmon from their sworn and grounds up stream. the fish have steadily declined ever since it was built on dams. when and we saw these huge population crashes and salmon and other species, these salmon fry are swimming in a hatchery. just below the dam, but hatchery fish, a failed to restore the salmon population for the tribal people, the result has been disastrous, without recourse to their traditional diet of salmon rates of diabetes and heart

disease have sword. so it's really hard to emphasize as how important the seminar to us. i mean, for me, it's not just a food source, it's also the connection to my ancestors. now, after decades of negotiation and bureaucratic delay, the iron gate dam is going to be torn down. the process will take several years and will be the largest dam removal in us history. when this dam and the others along the klamath river are finally removed, native americans and others who depend upon the river hope that it will once again flow free and clean and full of salmon, all the way to the sea. from here at the mouth of the klamath salmon travel up stream to spawn, after their mysterious journeys in the pacific ocean, where intertwined and every way with the klamath river and without the klamath river there, there are york people a river.
