live in washington with our white house correspondent. but 1st, this update from zane bust ravi in keith. well that announcement by the united states of sending more critical weapons to the battlefront here in ukraine will no doubt come as very good news, not just to president vladimir zelinski office, but to his military and to the strategist that are operating the battle fields in the east on the ground as well as the battlefield commanders who have had to for so many days. see the russian advance take over and absorb and digest more and more of their country. sadly, for a place like several minutes, it is likely going to be help that will come to late. the mayor of that city has had the unenviable job for the last week to continue to document and report the slow losses that his city is facing. now, the ukrainian government only controls 20 percent of that city, 60 percent in russian hands. and the rest of it a no man's land, certainly indicative of how the pace of the russian advance has been. it hasn't just been there. we've seen in care sun for the last 2 days. that city has been

completely cut off in terms of communication, there's been no ukrainian or mobile or internet service there for 2 days elsewhere in the den that's region across the board. we've heard reports just in the last few hours of loud explosions being heard in cities in the genetic region and sustained artillery fire going on since this afternoon. that began in spurts last night in nikolai, of loud explosions being heard in the last hour artillery showing very well. so certainly across the board in the east. renewed attacks by the russians. so what exactly is the system the americans have sent to ukraine? well, the timers multiple launch rocket system or m l or s, can simultaneously fire multiple position gated missiles. it's 80 kilometer range is twice that of the m triple 7 howitzers already provided to ukrainian forces. the longer range version of the missile, which can reach targets 300 kilometers away, isn't being supplied to the train in the us military already has highmark units in

europe, nato allies, poland on romania, also have them live to our white house corps funding. kimberly halted for more on this story to tell us why did biden change his stance regarding sending these kinds of weapons to ukraine. kimberly, where was the feeling here in the united states and also in close consultation with partners and allies. that the headlines were not exactly what the united states and ukraine and, and also the west was feeling was appropriate. in other words, that russia had been making games that were discouraging to the west and supporters of ukraine. and as a result, there was this feeling that there was a need for some form of additional assistance in terms of the military apparatus. and as a result a small number of. c medium range rockets have been added the desire . 8 of the u. s. president is that these are hopefully so bit the ukrainian

military can precisely hit targets on the battlefield specifically in the eastern dumbass region. now what the united states is hoping is that these munitions will essentially add target russian artillery russian positions and also allow for an. 7 intensity that the ukrainian military has not been able to do thus far. now, we should point out that this is the 11th military package that the united states has supplied by. you will recall that $40000000000.00 package the us congress recently passed. this is the 1st of that new influx of fund that is being dispersed in terms of this new aid that is being sent to ukraine. is something you, us concerned kimberly these weapons could actually be used to hit inside russian territory. it's definitely a concern and it's one that reporters in

a background call with senior administration. officials repeatedly pressed upon what assurances have been sought, and how can the united states be 100 percent certain that these are not going to be used inside of russia that this, in other words we contained inside of ukraine. the united states would only say that it has sought those assurances, it has confirmed that these will not be used beyond ukraine's borders. this, of course though, has been responded to by russia saying that this is only going to lead to some sort of direct confrontation and what we know from the united states, because the u. s. president has penned an assaye to the new york times, that what he believes this in no way will prolong the war. but what he believes is this will inflict pain on russia. the type of the united states believe could bring an end to this conflict. so again, the united states believes this is not going to be used beyond the borders of

ukraine, but again, this is the united states and you are relying really on some sort of self restraint on the part of ukraine, which we know can at times be in short supply, particularly in times of conflict. all right, thank you so much. kimberly health reporting from the white house. many countries are concerned about food shortages and are putting the brakes on exports. chicken exports are being temporarily benz and malaysia. florence louis reports from column for the government says it's concerned about poultry shortages at home, as well as raising prices. an important source of income for chicken farmers in malaysia has been cut off after an export band came into effect on wednesday. it's a fresh blow to an industry that's already really from rising cost. if we've been seeing up all, all, i don't mean you know, by me, any company that way. what did they, can you switch to another country?

supplier. so it's really hard to get them back. good bye, but with it and if you to so this is what men will definitely be simple to re temporary solution, but we have a lot of them hitting the price of chicken feed has sword with shortages caused by the war in ukraine and a heat wave blamed on the climate crisis. malaysia is not the only country cutting back on food exports. we've seen similar actions by other governments, such as india and indonesia to restrict certain exports of food items in order to contain rising domestic should inflation pressures. because for developing countries, food accounts for a larger part of measurement of inflation and retail price inflation. it isn't just about price stability. the export ban is also meant to ensure the local market has enough chickens. it's consumers outside of malaysia who

feel the bands impact neighboring singapore import at 34 percent of its chicken supply from malaysia last year. almost all of that life. the singapore government says it's looking for new suppliers and has urged consumers to switch to alternative meats. but food sellers is specialize in a popular dish known as chicken rice. say it won't be easy to find a substitute for a key ingredient. they're concerned about a dip in business most eucharist thought he's not 100 percent of chicken rice thought or use fresh chicken rice basically bought a life slaughter. so the pen would mean we are no longer able to sell lemon gone off in august, or maybe coca cola with the malaysian government hasn't said how long the export band will last. but officials say they hope supply and chicken prices who stabilize

within a month. florence louis al jazeera while important and just begun restricting sugar exports and says, raising local prices are to blame 2 weeks ago it bound the export of wheat, half natal reports from which our pradesh on how local farmers are feeling the impact ah, after being packed and see this batch of sugars headed to the port. india has already exported a record 7 and a half 1000000 tons the season. now the government has kept shipments to ensure there's enough left over for domestic consumption. get your look in our locks. you dance company has been refining sugar for 90 years and he says the new rules could affect farmers incomes. the sugar season starts in november and the government would always like a minimum stock in the country of about 2 months. consumption or 2 and a half months comes up, which is somewhere around $6000000.00 tons. it's been a bumper ha best,

but the world's top sugar producer international demand is high sparking fears over domestic shortage during the festive season. later this year, when high global prices and a strong dollar have opened up business opportunities for farmers and traders, soaring inflation and concerns about food security back home had prompted the government to implement protective measures including restricting wheat exports, wheat farmers, such as on j party, i hope to cash in on a favourable international market. prices rose after rushes, invasion cuts apply from the black sea region, but a scorching heat wave in india, flattened output, and the government band most exports to control domestic prices. that affected farmers profit. so got to go to the the government price was higher last year, so we saw them more. this time the rates are lower, read production is much low, it kept dreaming, and there was water logan to which impacted the harvest. economists say these

restrictions to little to reduce inflation. india, credibility, the reliability of primary commodities is going to be seated. be damaged with this. i don't see this as a good signal algebra, osburg government comment, but we didn't get a reply. many countries have urged india to lift its ban on wheat exports. dog mentally de said, the water lacks a bad but to wind consider requests from vulnerable countries, softening missile al jazeera, but the british in northern india. david adamson is from the university of adelaide australia and he understands why governments are nervous, but that they need to think long term with icing, normal situations, global common type, it made us realize our supply chains were actually very fragile as resilient as we thought we had the war going on in russia, mute crime wishes driving because i counted for 23 to 32 percent of global. we try

in the future between 20062020. the us going through my route issues. problems had low than expected yields wait, we are finding does things great constraint and supply change means is less to be exported. everyone wants it. and when i commodities in georgia, it means that other commodities that normally we don't use as much now and more demand causing more prices. guy especially with goods in input into other production systems. we start thinking about the amount of food we give animal ticket price, we want like animals produced with grime, the price of those goods encroach. and so we found out self dealing with inflation . more bull. so head on al jazeera, south korean, southern voting and local elections will tell you what the results mean for politics of the national level. was

excitement as people socialized outdoors and doors they caused who the 1st time in weeks st. barricades had been removed, supermarkets, restaurants, and parks are reopening. public transport has resumed. china's biggest city and commercial center is slowly coming back to life after being shut down at the end of march. more than 600000 corona virus infections were recorded. and what was the country's worst outbreak since the pandemic began. artist soon shown was visiting the city and became stuck at his hotel, an initial 5 de lockdown, stretched to more than 60 days. he's relieved it's over that remains distressful of the government government order. so they tell people only 5 days, so i think a fine better you know, the government always lie to people more. busy and more and more longer and the longer and the longer and no, andy, no people, when is to finish,

there was widespread anger along with confusion of food shortages and a lack of access to emergency medical care lockdown, also crippled supply chains and slowed the economy. properties, car sales, the service sector and retail consumption all plummeted in april. analyst save, recovery weren't be quick, easy after the initial phase or there might be more disappointments because the reality is the consumer confidence is dampens. property market is still weak, although the weakness, the other part of the economy was due there and not address. and on top of that income growth has flowed significantly. so after the left of all the restrictions, i think there is a lot of work has to be done. shanghai authority say the city has achieved a milestone in its battle against the virus. in a letter they thanked residence for their patience and apologized for the

inconveniences caused people in shanghai may be celebrating for now. but the memory of this war walk down won't easily be got. china leaders refused to live with the corona virus, and any new outbreak can result in the lives of millions be offended without nurse . katrina you al jazeera aging, and al jazeera presenter has been sentenced up sent here to 15 years in prison by an egyptian court. i saw how was charged with spreading false news for an interview he conducted in 2018 without going when i'm in fact to a who's a leading opposition figure as well as a former presidential candidate to says the ruling is shameful and lacking logic. the network has described, the verdict is an attempt to criminalize journalism. we sell all the a know when the message is clear, runs against all values and norms signed by egypt regarding press freedom and
