there will be no winners in ukraine. that warning from the united nations comes $100.00 days after russia began its invasion, fighting rages on in the east, where the russian forces close to taking complete control of the don bass region. heavy battles have been reported in the center of several of the nets. members of ukraine's foreign legion have arrived in the city to fight russian troops. me while the west continues to ramp up sanctions against moscow. the latest move the u. s. is once again targeted assets owned by a russian businessman close to president, fled to putin and criminal officials, the chairman of the african union, once trued supplies exempt from any sanctions. jury a meeting with a russian leader president, becky saw that african countries are victims of the war and are facing a food security crisis. medicaid, the, my zip on that. of course, i spoke to the european council and i told them yes, there is a war. the crisis, but there is also sanction we should work together and resolving these 2 problems

and make sure that everything concerning food and green supplies and outside the sanction. that's in our from same buzz, robbie who's in keven has more on the fighting in east and ukraine. there's 2 ways to look at the math here for resisting russia's intervention in their country. it is cost the country of ukraine, 20 percent of its territory on the other side of it is that ukraine, a 100 days later, is still in this fight. now we have to remember that russia was intending to take even a matter of days, and the best experts in the world estimated that after keep the rest of ukraine would follow in a matter of weeks, as russia continued to slowly digest ukrainian territory. something has been doing for years, but the fact that the country is still standing isn't it, is in and of itself, a major victory in this conflict. and that is exactly the point that ukraine's president made to mark this day. the leader of the faction is here,

the head of the president's office is here. the prime minister mahal is here. potter lack is here. the president is here. our teams much bigger. the armed forces of ukraine here. most importantly, our people are here. the people of our state are here. we've been defending our state for 100 days. victory for laurie to ukraine. strong words there from ukraine's top comedian turned president, turned war time commander in chief and it really mirrors the same things he said 99 days ago. at the start of this invasion at the start of this war, he wanted to make the point that the country's leaders, given the opportunity to leave, have not left the country's leaders are still here and this fight will go on. now there is no se putting a spin on what is happening in the east of the country. russian forces have in the last few weeks for about a month or so, consolidated their forces in the east of the country. they've made tactical

retreats from in and around keith and they are now in the east and the war. there is truly devastating, and the horrors of that conflict are being lived by those being taken into russian occupation as the russian advance continues. but what do you craniums in places like even those parts of the country that are away from the battlefront. say that life must go on that life must move forward that there must be something to look forward to. what we've seen here in the capital key was a return to a kind of normalcy within businesses reopen. people have been moving back to the city. those that fled in the early days of the conflict. and there are people back out onto the streets and what you craniums here tell us is they may not be on the front line, but simply returning to a certain kind of normal. that is the antithesis to what vladimir putin, the vision for this country is. and that in and of itself will return will, will continue, and that will be against russia's aggression. it continued active, ukrainian defiance. and why did you any crisis coordinate in ukraine?

he says the was told on millions, ukrainians is unacceptable. the reality is, or continues intensity 5, it moves from one section or one area of your brain to another engagement. the role of in gauging changes to your graphical areas, changes. and there is a mobile edition, both sides and the war continues. and we're here. they're more than ever. 14000000 people are displayed 6000000 out of sight and other 8000000 inside. yet we will have another for the meeting whenever they're home. but that impacted the impact because their last access to their jobs, cultural field, livelihood. and therefore, that a need of assistance. some of them don't have access to enter your water in these affected areas affected by war. so the water here life was up 100 years of me that he's suffering displacement life by the 1000000 symbol each other. we're

not giving up, we're not giving up on a, on a peaceful solution. there are no winners in wars, as we know it was only me that it and everybody, the loser, the you ends the food and agriculture organization says, well food prices fell slightly for the 2nd consecutive month. un agencies, food price index, it dipped point 6 percent from april to may as prices of dairy products and vegetable oils dropped. despite that, dick decrease free commodities are still 22.8 percent more expensive than they were a year ago, almost a quarter. we prices are on the rise, they claim 5.6 percent may compared to the previous month. and the war and ukraine, of course, is driving that increase reduced weak production in the country as part fears of a global hunger crisis. of the razor. c, n is a former cedar economists with the united nations food and agriculture organization . he doesn't expect we prices to go down anytime soon. the biggest expected decline year on year decline production is partly because walkering because of the off the

war. so that is the production side, but the problem is unfortunately not just production, but how crane can get his wheat into the market as be so in the last few months, logistical problems, what will make some sort of prevented that in spite of the fact that it does have quite the logic carryover inventor is being sold to the market. this is one problem . the other aspect is russia itself is going to have a good crop this year. old predictions point to that. but the question is, you know, they have to sell this grain to their customers. and obviously a combination of many factors is going to make this trade a little bit different from, from the previous year. and this uncertainty adds pressure to the market and makes the whole thing looking a little bit, i would say on settling. and this was predicted, in fact, we will say few months ago. that's 2021 season. it's not as bad as a fear,

but $20.00 to $22.00 to $3.00 season starts now is going to be more worrying because we simply don't know how the trade routes will be affected and how supplies from the black sea recess of the well, many people are relying her being forced to go hungry as prices and unemployment sore and essentially are in short supply. the economic crisis is the worst since its independence from britain in $948.00, and often under says, this helping put food on the table. community kitchens like this are starting up around chill anchor. as people struggle with its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years, food inflation has hit nearly 60 percent, and many people are finding it difficult to cope. most of these government who are coming to there are been coming out riding me through me. so we are giving them the responsibility of the arrival on meal and we're thing, right, we're is affordable with one me. but a good heavenly me. few now get to eat this. well. i'm already made. i am,

congolese, say they shouldn't have to make a deal with what they see as foreign invaders. malcolm web al jazeera us president joe biden has held the creation of an extra $390000.00 jobs in may. the increase in jobs comes and made ongoing concern about high inflation and interest rates by the praise, what he called a near historic low level of unemployment, 3.6 percent around 20 percent. libyans don't have a job among those who are employed more than 2000000 worked for the state, and while most private sector companies tend to high foreigners for skilled roles, the government is trying to change that training reports from tripoli. they've been training for months, learning how to build the playground equipment to international standards. it's part of the program sponsored by the ministry of labor, nearly 30 percent of libya, 6800000 people are employed by the state. but the government is looking to save

money by encouraging young adults to seek work in the private sector, the money law, and i'm a customer, the salaries in the private sector, much higher than government jobs. with this certificate, i have a better chance to find word about mahmud and put a z at the economic and social development board. he says live depends on oil exports for nearly all of its state revenue. for years of conflict, have seen oil exports blockaded by armed groups several times like and i didn't have a government long term strategic plan to diversify and encourage the private. we're starting to change our economic policies to enhance the relationship between the public and the private sector. seeing young libyans learning skills and taking on jobs, various fields in the service market is a positive sign. we want them to stop depending on the state. although there aren't any proper statistics. the ministry of labor estimates the official unemployment rate and libya to be around 20 percent for the higher among young people. growth in

small and medium businesses, such as lisa has helped create job opportunities. every morning young workers at this bakery rushed to fill their orders, supplying coffee shops and restaurants around tripoli, with sweets and deserts. abdul more hayman elma thought he says, he hopes to open his own bakery one day. one of i was looking for a government job, but learning his skill and joining the private sector was the best decision i ever made, that now i can get a job anywhere i want. i get paid on time and thanks to god, i'm paid a good salary. in previous years, jobs like these were taken by foreign workers, but many have left because of the instability. for some young people such as ogden will haman. that's helped them find a career in the unlikely places. mal trainer al jazeera tripoli, global plastic waste and use is on track to triple over the next 38 years. that's

according to the organization for economic cooperation and development. it report estimates at more than 1000000000. tons of fossil fuel based plastics will be produced every year by 2060. that plastic pollution is already so bad that micro plastics have been found in the most remote oceans as estimated to kill more than a 1000000 see birds annually. and over 100000 marine mammals. let's take so mac is great to care. wine is a program director at the world resources institute joins is nothing i ain't even in the netherlands. can one welcome to al jazeera at these, a frightening statistics? aren't they? are? you'd think that by then we would actually start reducing plastic his, his, we're going to triplet and surreal threat to ecosystems of planet and asked tell us a little bit more about the potential dangers this presents bang. the print means that it's read an arm and internet, well, actually produced in the using traffic itself is not necessary, but the, but the way were produced in the using them today is quoting lots of problems and

the most outstanding ocean. and because they're not collecting all our waste, instead we let 8000000 of them end up being ocean every year. and if that doesn't continue, there will be more constant fish we ocean. and as he said, it's bad for the wildlife. it's battle tourism is bad flow. oh health because they breaking to michael cross takes the engine off at chain and and by turning from a body on an ocean push, it's not the only problem sure. makes sense in trying to tuck lee. i would say doesn't, it makes sense to pick off the easy winds, like, you know, banning plastic bags, for example, many places here in the middle east. you can go, you just buy a pen and you're given a plastic bag to put it in, which is ridiculous. that sort of thing could easily be stopped, couldn't it? right in bending, bending is useful, but i don't think that that that would be not the only answer it can not 6 inches, 2 years, a complete band will not be practical. so what about this,

the concept to the site? clear economy and, and re using plastic, i guess that's the idea behind it. right. stephanie? yeah, i say i think to kill economy and what does it mean? it means a number of things. first of all, let's continue to get rid of base plastic that we don't really need to buy the straws, etc. but it was that when we make new plastics that use more recycled materials, version oil. and let's keep costs they can use for longer. instead of single use and last but not least, less lags in the cycle as cost wise. so they don't end up producing a bar. there is another issue here is that you're fighting big oil on you because a plastic production is it could be eventually when renewables coming in a wide scale, plastic production could be the last bastion of making use of oil. extract it out of the ground. yeah. well, i think is that's one of the harder to page mature. right?

data consists oil, but it's production itself is also in that big cost gas, which is difficult, expensive kitchen bailey reducing short term. that's why we need to looking to the whole value chain solutions for genes you use and recycle. and there are lots of things we can do to turn them out at the un environment assembly in nairobi. and i think it's in february, there was a, there not this, this new global trends that they're working on to try and, and plastic pollution. does that tie in this whole concept of, of the sector economy? absolutely, absolutely. say that the u. n. treating location is really a huge step towards the right direction. there's a lot of the way it has a lot of momentum, right, so just a few examples week we can set out collection systems that's especially still lacking in developing countries. it is very costly to set up, it is guaranteed to set up. but without good collection sorting, we just cannot do recycling company. and aust wasn't make or cycle cost. it's more

competitive, right? shit, subsidies fall. virgin plastics to recycle plastics and provide incentives. provide pratt, the solutions to help us shift away from thing that we use to we use dan davidson in almost challenger k y. we appreciate your time. thanks very much. indeed. that's k one from the world with to lead here now to 0. ah, parts of china celebrate its traditional dragon boat festival for the 1st time since the beginning of the pandemic class. i'm olive fisher and your supreme court in washington, where it's reputation as an independent arbiter of u. s. law. it is no very much in question. i mean, sport in avalon in the n h l playoffs is colorado. take the up behind again, minton. ah,

a warning of strong winds on the coast up through tons, be a canyon to old sir. somalia, strong wind itself dar me much, but might bring some rain every now and again. and there's some pretty heavy rain just creeping in here with a few showers in land. admittedly. yeah, no, it's not what you wanted to stop anybody wants. but it's a big improvement. all the same. for south africa, generally quite pictured. i only 19 in cape town. 24, a pewter, and a few showers in mozambique. ah, for over a century, american parents have entrusted their sons to the boy scouts of america, hoping they would gain skills that would improve their lives. instead, countless young lives were ruined by predators within the organization. i knew there was so much, but i could not figure out where it was coming from me in a 3 part series, full plunge investigates, a massive scandal that the united states scoutmaster part 3 are not just

eastern you crate, but the un has won't. there will be no when it russian forces are close to taking complete control of the bus region to united nations. peacekeepers have been killed and molly, it happened often improvised bomb exploded. did a ton of doing their part of each piece. at least one person has been killed in su, don's capitol. it happened during protest to march the 3rd anniversary, the killing of nearly a $130.00 people at a sit in protest victims, families and survivors still demanding justice of the type for security forces in 2019 u. s. media says president biden is to visit saudi arabia later this month. it comes after re, i'd agree to increase oil production on thursday, an extended a truce in war, batted yemen in february. biden sent a delegation for talks on boosting output as fuel prices began soaring in the united states. i, let's get more in this with our white house correspondent, kimberly. how could i, kimberly,

this is beginning to look more and more like it's good to happen. yeah, the united states and specifically the white house press office, getting a lot of attention to after it's sent out a press release on thursday that use very warm tones in describing the kingdom of saudi arabia. specifically applauding the decision to boost production. as a result of the concerns over the fact that there has been a high energy prices and the fact that was a need for more crude in order to alleviate the strain that the global energy prices are feeling around the world. the fact that opec would be pumping more crude for the next 8 weeks. this is something that the white house was applauding applauding the kingdom of saudi arabia. and that is notable, given the fact that the united states is specifically jo bayver had previously

criticized saudi arabians. specifically, ma had been solomon given the fact that there has been a lot of criticism about the human rights record. and that has led to a lot of questioning about the upcoming travel plans of the u. s. president. that's why when the u. s. president appeared before reporters and cameras, he was asked quite pointedly, would he be traveling to saudi arabia? and would he also be traveling to israel, but specifically saudi arabia? here's what he had to say. i'm not sure. i have no direct plans at the moment, but let me tell you that i have been engaged in trying to work with how we can bring more stability and peace in the middle east. and there is a possibility that i would be going to meet with both israelis or countries of time, including our expect would be saudi arabia. be clued, you know, if i did go now, here's the reason that domestically there's

a lot of interest in those travel plans. it's not just because the u. s. president has been critical of the human rights record in saudi arabia. but the u. s. president, when he was campaigning for the white house, said that he would hold the kingdom to account calling in a parias state as specifically when it comes to the washing to post journalists. janelle has shoji and the fact that there really has been no accountability. it now appears that the u. s. president, in the eyes of some of the united states and around the world, maybe back tracking of some of those campaign promises in order to alleviate the energy prices add to that. there's also the concern that the u. s. president is kind of turning a blind eye to another big issue that is looming and that is if you travel to. 2 israel and the concerns about the fact that he also promised there would be accountability when it comes to the assassination of our own journalist. sri now i click the fact that there has still not been an investigation that has turned up

any sort of accountability with israel as well. so this could be a problem for the president politically. and that's why there is such high interest in the president's trip later this month. or it can be thanks for that can be how could the reporting from what what 0 media network continues to demand a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalist in the occupied west bank through blacklist was shot in the head by israeli forces while she was on assignments in jeanine, on the day for funeral israeli forces storm the procession and started beating mourners, causing pull barest, almost dropped her casket. that didn't stop thousands of palestinians marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community condemned her killing and continued to call for an investigation of work that was with al jazeera for 25 years covering the story of the israeli occupation. she was known as the voice of palestine. well,

president biden has appealed to congress to act on gun control. he once limits on the sale of assault style weapons. his speech on strict, the gun laws follows recent shootings including one last month at a school in texas. my kinda has more now from washington, dc. in the past 3 weeks, more than 70 people have been killed in mass shootings. the most recent at a medical center in tulsa, oklahoma with 4 people were murdered by a man, said to be a disgruntled patient. police say the gunman then killed himself. he bought one of his guns just a few hours before we know through the help of r, a t f and their gun tracing that at 2 pm. on june, the 1st mr. louis purchased a semi automatic rifle from a local gun store. the same weapon was used to killed 19 children and 2 teachers at a texas elementary school last week. the same weapon used to murder 10 people at

a grocery store in buffalo, new york. 10 days before that. in both cases, the alleged gunmen were just 18 years old. the texas shooter killed at the scene. the buffalo shooting suspect was arraigned on murder charges thursday. in a red primetime address to the american people, president biden urged congress to impose federal gun controls, suggesting a ban on automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. raising the age at which an individual can buy a gun from $18.00 to $21.00 and removing the protections against litigation enjoyed by gun manufacturers. they had one message for all of us. do something. just do something. for god's sake do something. some of these measures suggested by president biden are already being debated and may well be passed in the democratic

controlled house of representatives. but they are likely to be blocked by senate republicans who were a particular target president biden's anger. my god. the fact, the majority of the senate, republicans don't want any of these proposals even to be debated or come up for a vote. i find unconscionable. we can't fail the american people again, a message to for the american people that the majority should act and turn their outrage into making the issue central to their vote. my kind of audience era washington or the u. s. supreme court will issue a series of verdicts in the next month on contentious and challenging cases most closely watch will be a decision on a woman's right to abortion. an unprecedented league suggests the court maybe about to take away the constitutional right to an abortion. it would be a decision going against prevailing public opinion as alan fischer reports now from
