2:01 am
ah, hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is al 0 live from doha. also coming up. the african union chairman holds talks with russia's president vladimir putin as grain supply as stock in ukrainian ports, raised fears of global food shortages. ah, protests in the democratic republic of congo. overwhelmed us alleged support for the armed group. m 23 along its border. plus the british royal's attend to thanksgiving service as part of the platinum jubilee celebrations for the queen. but elizabeth the 2nd misses the special event. there will be no winners in ukraine. that's the stark warning from the united nations that comes $100.00 days after russia began its invasion. fighting continues
2:02 am
in the east with washing forces close to taking complete control of the don bass region. ukraine's president followed him. his zalinski mocked the milestone in his daily video address, telling his people victory will be ours. the leaky, narrow them will legally grace people of grace ukraine. exactly 100 days ago, we all woke up to a different reality. exactly 100 days ago. we woke up like others when ukrainians were awakened not by the sun's rays, but by the explosions of miss. i'll set his how home you look at been completely different. ukrainians woke up intense battles have been reported in the center of the key city of sylvester. the next officials in low hands say that ukraine has recaptured 20 percent of last territory in the city. and as the global food crisis deepens, the head of the african union has met with russia's president mackey. sol told vladimir putin, that african countries, a victims of the conflict. he also called for food supplies,
2:03 am
to be exempt from any sanctions. medicaid, the mother zip, are little concerned. i spoke to the european council and i told them yes, there is a war the crisis, but there is also sanctioned lee. we should work together and resolving these 2 problems and make sure that everything concerning food and grain supplies is outside the sanctions. i al 0 is named us robbie is in keith with more on the fighting and eastern 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 keith, the rest of ukraine would follow in a matter of weeks, as russia continued to slowly digest ukrainian territory. something has been doing
2:04 am
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 shed, my hall 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 you 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
2:05 am
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 in, 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 in 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 events continues. but what crania is 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,
2:06 am
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. let's go back to the head of the african union meeting with russia's president. let me push it about the global food crisis at joining us alive from washington, dc. ruben sanders. she served as us ambassador to nigeria, congo, and the economic community of west african state. she's also former director of africa, the us national security council. and that's a good to have you with us monkey. so said that he was leaving russia happy and reassured by his exchanges with president putin. what sort of reassurances could president putin have given him? well, i mean, we can only speculate what that might be on the real test will be in action that that's taken on the ground. so if he had a comfortable conversation with dan,
2:07 am
where he got assurances that he would take into consideration on blocking the food that was stuck at the point in odessa, maybe that's what makes him feel comfortable. but in the bottom line is whether or not that action will be taken on the route. i think, as you know, as the continent gets about 44 percent of its wheat from, from russia over the last 4 or 5 years. what do we do? make a president putin's claim that the moscow is not preventing gray and exports from ukraine of accusations a to that a old bluster by the west. well, i think the reality is, is, is there for everyone to see. i mean, the ships are blocked out of leaving odessa. there is a world food security crisis. africa is the most affected by that. so the facts and the reality. conchar dick completely. i his vision know, you know, where things stand and also overall his vision of what the global security
2:08 am
environment looks like. yeah, there's definitely a disconnect there. unfortunately, it's a disconnected turning millions of people around the world, not only those ukraine, but those elsewhere like in africa as the president of the african underscore marquis. so as president putin to become aware that all countries i, african nations are victims of, of the conflict to bruton said that he was on africa side. is he to be believed? again, i think for me and anybody that has a practical mindset on policy, it will be what actually happens on the ground. right now. they've had a great diplomatic conversation. it appears as the president of sanibel and who's also of course the, the head of the african union is pleased with the conversation he had. the bottom line is what will happen on the ground? if we're having the same conversation next week, then i, it was just really a diplomatic showmanship on the part of food. and nothing has been done on the
2:09 am
ground. if we see movement on the ground, if we see the ships moving, if we see the funds to charity situation being addressed by russia, then that's a different issue. but right now it's all diplomatic bluster until we see action on the ground. that changes that, that, that i've had am how do sanction, sorry, i'm surgery, georgia. how do you think washington will, will interpret this meeting and she's the head of the african union. going then reporting that he had a good meeting with, with, with president putin. i mean, it's indicative isn't it, of the fact that, that on and not everyone shares the same view of russia, that the u. s. and the european nations have i think i always separate those 2 things completely. i think there's a reality here and there, you know, it's called the really, the 3 s, it's foods, charity, it's fuel and it's fertilizer. those 2 things are in jeopardy. in addition to the humanitarian crisis is going on in ukraine and in russia. and so i think back from a sectoral perspective, a policy perspective on how you dress from security,
2:10 am
i don't think the u. s. government is going to stand in the way of getting any kind of resolution on the food security shortages are out there. i do think that it's important to keep in mind and separate these things because they are different. they have different goals and objectives. and if we can unblock the food, that's a big plus for the world, not just, not just the african continent. russia supplies about 12 percent of the entire worlds are weak supply, so it would impact everybody if that is released really good to torture ambassador manufactured aid for being with us. i hear that's robin sanders than in washington dc. well, among the african countries affected by the ukraine wars and bob weight or inflation has again jumped above 100 percent. but couple of missteps also being blamed for consumer prices rising at the fastest place in almost 2 years. that includes a ban on all bank lending that was lifted following a severe backlash from businesses of

2:12 am
image internationally the you expect more of this, or is it on the elections? so anyone who is thinking of zimbabwe to lend money, we have to think twice. so men excluded in the global found on your system as a contract until after the elections of 2023 in july, bobby, and struggling to cope with high inflation are used to sudden announcements from the central bank. they know whenever there's a change in economic policy or banking rules, they can expect more how times many people here don't have faith in the isn't bobby and darla because of it's a rapid d valuation. they prefer american dollars either to hold on to a security or spend on business transactions, but inflation keeps rising and that's led to a big increase in prices are basically to help consumers cope with the high cost of living. the government is allowing people to import goods such as cooking oil and sugar tax free, but that's expected to affect the local manufacturing industry and lead to more job
