even though it's reportedly only a few dozen. and it will take at least 3 weeks to train the ukrainian forces and how to use them. some military experts say the new weapons will still have an impact. so once you have those systems, the range of precision they offer, i think open up a lot of different battlefield options for the ukrainians to do things like destroy command control posts that are further back from the front to destroy, ah, logistics, a logistics in supply chains for the russians that allow them to keep advancing the homer system can fire 6, gps guided rockets at a distance of around 70 kilometers and can be reloaded in about a minute. it's on wheels, so can quickly move after fire and other experts say, this should have happened long ago. those triple 7 should have been there

a months and months ago, for example. and these high mars as well. so the administration is following its own pattern. they should actually announce that they're going to deliver the longer range systems, the capabilities as soon as possible. but the biden administration is clearly concerned about provoking russia. and the russians did react. curious could, can you just do these risks certainly exist, any of the things that the key of regime, unapologetically demands from its western patrons, firstly, overstep all bounds of decency and diplomatic relations. and secondly, our direct provocation aimed drawing the west into combat president joe biden. pendant out there this week to say he's adamant us troops will not be in the fight, but he has decided to give you crane the most sophisticated weapons yet hoping that may be enough to prevent future russian successes on the battlefield. patty calling al jazeera washington. so what exactly is the system the americans have sent to

mentioning the other mouse shooting that happened just 10 days after this carnage in buffalo. and this is in texas where 19 school children and their teachers were gunned to death in move all day. that tragedy still unfolding with funerals, taking place and these back to map back mass shootings again, re igniting the debate in the united states over gun laws. and again, the soul searching the unanswered question of why this continues to happen. and at least 4 people have been killed and several injured in the latest. my shooting in the u. s. a man armed with a rifle in hon. gun open fire in santa medical building in tulsa, oklahoma. but he say the attacker was also found dead. his motivation is unknown. the white house has revoked a series of restrictions on flights to cuba. restrictions imposed by the trump administration were designed to increase economic pressure on the cuban government . the biden administration in recent weeks has also opened the door for cubans to

announcement. first by the, by the administration. less than a week before the summit of the americas. im as sandra switch, some leads as well as i've said i including the president of mexico, said they won't attend. do you think this latest gesture from the biden administration towards cuba might change your mind. it won't change their mind, and it is simply a gesture. it was anticipated in the measures the president biden announced 2 weeks ago. and all of these measures are really popular in florida. cuban the people who want to travel from the united states to the other cities besides savannah, are cuban americans want to visit their families. so the trumpet administration restrictions were posted severe penalty on cuban americans. and so this will be popular in florida. this love very much the president has done in a way of moving forward on improve relations with cuba. what exactly is driving the

by administration to relax some of the measures on cuba? is it then perhaps realizing that some us interest can only be advanced by engaging would have on a wish? that was the case. i think it was stimulated by 2 factors. one was migration. there is a large influx of our and of cubans coming to the united states, $46000.00, and the last 3 months. this is sort of unprecedented since 1980, a very large number of and we don't want those large numbers coming to the united states are providing ministration. and because immigration is a problem for the democrats, and so the 1st stimulation was migration. the 2nd was an effort to appease some countries in latin america who wanted to have more opening to cuba. so what needs in your opinion to happen to improve relations, to make, to make bivens cube

a policy reset politically palatable? well, for one thing that there are ministration has sort of committed itself to regime change. it has stimulated provocative efforts by social media to create rallies, sort of like the arab spring, which and indeed it, there was a major demonstration july 11th, last year, partly stimulated by these efforts by the united states. and so i think the ministration feels that in fact, it could bring about regime change. and i think that's how the cubans to see one of the cubans perceived that the united states is aimed at. so overthrowing regime, it's going to be hard to find some common interest. thank you so much for talking

to us about this. phillip brenda, thank you for your time or portia. to nature's present guy's side as sight, 57 judges accusing them of corruption. he said he'd given warning after wanting to the judiciary to purify itself. prison said also allege had been protecting people accused of terrorist charges. he suspended parliament last july and began ruling by decree. his opponents described the move as a court. his really forces have killed a palestinian man in the occupied west bank. the man was showing the town of your bard where these really army says it was conducting an operation to demolish a home. the palestinian health ministry says a man was hid a number of times by live bullets and die of hospital in jeanine. and al jazeera media network continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalists in the occupied westbank. sharina blankly was shot in the head by israeli forces while she was an assignment in janine, on the day of her funeral is really forced to storm the procession in sorrow

gubernatorial seats. the main opposition democratic party, one only 5 major positions. the parties, landslide victory, seen as a boost for the new president unit. so cool as go live to our correspondent raw my ride in sol. rob. so what do these results tell us that yeah, this was a very good night for the ruling p. p t. the conservative party of the new president, you insert yell that they were predicted to do well, but i think they opposition to them the democratic party, the liberals here, and they were surprised just by the scale of their beating. there were a couple of bright spots for the liberals here. they held on to ganga province. this is by far the most populous province here in south career. it's the one that surrounds the capital sol. at one point they had been predicted that day, possibly they were going to lose it, but when all the votes were counted, they held on to that province by the tiniest of margins,

a 0.15 of one percentage point. also probably the best known a liberal phase here at lee james young. he was the candidate that lost the presidential election back in march. he was fighting for a seat in the national assembly and one of the bi elections that was also taking place. he managed to take that c, but it was something up a tough fight, but the rest of it looks pretty bleak out for the political landscape here for the liberals with the conservatives. the p. p. p. taking 12 of these as 17 main battle grounds for big city go mass ships and also for provincial governorships, really indicating a big conservative shift across the country. and so how big of a boost is this? rob for south korea's new president after somewhat of a mixed start to his presidency. that's right, it has been her very checkered start her for you in a he won the election back in march in what was seen as

a very lack luster campaign. the tiniest of victories over his opponent. then he made some very controversial decisions before even taking officer meant that by the time of his inauguration, nearly a month ago now, he had the dubious reputation of having the lowest approval rating and of any newcomer since then that he does seem to have stabilized his administration, he is seen as a, as steady hand on the hell. i think he has taken a tougher approach with north korea that has gone down well with voters here. he had a good summer meeting where they're visiting president joe biden of the united states that as well as play to his a favor. and also you can have across the liberals at the moment is opposition. do seem to be insert amount of disarray which is benefiting from. so are we can expect this to boost his domestic agenda and then internationally, of course, it'll mean that he can a follow through with his attempts to try to restore relations with japan, which is always

a very controversial as subject here. that then underpins the trilateral relations with the united states and then out of that we can probably see a more united and a harder front approach being taken with north korea. thank you very much for that . rob mcbride is i correspond and in south africa that 2 month covered 19 long down in china's biggest city has been relaxed. most of shanghai is 25000000 residents and are free to leave home while businesses will gradually resume operations. katrina, you reports from beijing where restrictions imposed under china 0 cove in 19 strategy have also been east millions of people in shanghai county down to midnight on wednesday. celebrating the end of a strict to month pandemic looked down. there were scenes of joy and excitement as people socialized outdoors and drew their cars for the 1st time in weeks. st barricades had been removed. supermarkets, restaurants,

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,
