about half of the strategic city. members of ukraine's international legion have joined the fight. in the past few weeks, moscow has sent extra forces into the city. the war is affecting global commodity prices. a senior analyst from the u. n's, food and agriculture organizations hold al jazeera. the developing world is most at risk. julian wolf reports more than a 100 days into the war in ukraine and the fighting is intensifying in the east. far from the fraud mines, the conflict impacting the global food supply, especially in africa, which imports 40 percent of its grain from russia and ukraine. the chair of the african union travelling to so cheap to help get deliveries back on track for little also i spoke to the european council and i told them yes, there is a war the crisis, but there's also sanctioned leah. we should work together and resolving these 2 problems and make sure that everything concerning food and green supplies is

outside the sanctions. all his meeting present putin ended with a promised ease, the export of grain from russian controlled ports of putin blame in the west for using moscow as a scapegoat. now we'll show you of course, now we see an attempt to shift responsibility for the global food crisis. to russia, this attempt, as our people like to say, is an attempt to ship from a sick head to a healthy one. food prices have shot up across africa since russia invaded ukraine with fears of famine and the un warning of mass migration. if food doesn't reach african shores for russia, laid hunger being recently to put to blame, awe on one crane and others fall blocking ukrainian. ah, so basically they are saying that the imminent hunger in africa elsewhere will become soon because of the western sanctions on russia,

not because of russia nation on ukraine logging in force. but despite today's pledge, it remains unclear when those ports will be able to release the supplies africa in the world so desperately needs. gillian wolf, al jazeera. robin sanders is the former, usm bassett, or to nigeria, congo, and the economic con, community of west african states. she hopes a concrete plan will emerge from the meeting between president putin and the african unions mackey sell. the real tax will be in action that that's taken on the grounds. so if you had a comfortable conversation with him, where he got assurances that he would take into consideration on blocking the food that was stuck at the port 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 ground. the kind of gets about 44 and a week from, from russia over the last 4 or 5 years. i think there's

a reality here and there, you know, it's called a really the 3 f, it's charity, it's fuel and it's fertilizer. those 3 things are in jeopardy. in addition to the humanitarian crisis is going on in ukraine and in russia. and so i think that from a sectoral perspective, a policy perspective on how you dress from security, i don't think us government is going to stand in the way of getting any kind of resolution on the food security shortages 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 the big plus for the world. not just, not just the african continent. russia supplies about 12 percent of the entire world, weak supply, so it would impact everybody if that is release. hundreds of afghan refugees have protested in islamabad, demanding the right to work in pakistan. they also want to be recognized as the

tests across the country. an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion showing 5 of the 9 justices on the u. s. supreme court would overturn roe vs wade. a controversial landmark 1973 decision which guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion. the leak itself is a little shocking, just in terms of how the supreme court operates. it's really only happened a tiny handful of times in history. the sub terms of the lease is, of course, in some sense, even more shocking, because it shows that the court intends to overturn about 50 years of precedent on abortion. in the united states, former president donald trump, 3 of the justices on the court, all 3 of conservatives, all 3 implied during the confirmation hearings that roe vs wade was settled. law is

a president of the united states supreme court. and one of the important things to keep in mind about roe v wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times over the past 45 years. i have an agenda to stick to the rule of law and decide cases as they come. the idea, the court would scrap the protection, has left some who voted to confirm the justices struggling for answers. i will just tell you that it gets it wrong. my confidence in the court right now 3 and 5 american support abortion rights. when you pull suggest even the idea of scrapping those protections, i said the court once high approval rating, the court has in the past ruled in an unpopular way when they band prayer in schools for example, or where they extended the right to an attorney for a criminal defendant, so it's not that the court has never been willing to go against public opinion,

but in this case they are taking an issue that seemed sort of saddled for the last 50 years. some justices have expressed the concern at the damage a leak can do and an investigation is underway. but what me do more damage is an unpopular decision. and while there are some who will welcome the direction, the court seems to be moving it. it's image could take a beating in the court of us public opinion. alan fisher al jazeera, at the supreme court in washington. thousands of people and argentina marched on parliament to demand action to and violence against women. the rally on friday also commemorated women who have been murdered. latin american countries have some of the highest rates of violence towards women in the world. last year, one woman was killed in argentina, every 35 hours on average. most were victims of domestic violence. one of donald trump's former top advisors has been charged with contempt of congress. a federal grand jury charged peter navarro after he refused to hand over
