a show of solidarity. european leaders are in here to discuss giving more military aid to ukraine. ah, hello, i'm sammy zaden. this is al jazeera alive from dall hall, so coming up, wrong, influential shall cleric, more thought i saw that says he stepping away from politics just bumps off the national elections. police and brazil say they found the remains of an indigenous researcher and british journalist who went missing 10 days ago and on the wall to volcanoes. a un team takes a dive in the mediterranean to research the risk of tsunami. now leaders a 4 year opinion countries visiting kiev say they're in favor of ukraine. joining

the e u. leaders of france, germany, italy, and romania met with president, followed them in the landscape a show of solidarity. early i knew my crawl off, shoulder and novel did. i get told if pin were russian soldiers have been accused of committing abuses. the french president said he saw evidence of war crimes in the town of insurance. if you are here at earth on a side that has been destroyed, indeed, the russian army stopped in several other cities nearby. massacres has been perpetrated, and we have had the 1st traces of what our war crimes on this investigation. we are cooperating very strongly. i would like to think all the french doomed arms experts and magistrates who has been working on this from the 1st day alongside the experts . charles stratford is in key if he says, despite the show of unity there, awesome. mixed messages to ukraine has to wind this war and maintain its

territorial integrity. those are the words of the french president, emanuel macaroni, the self noun here in the ukrainian capital, to cave, in a show of unity and attempt to show of unity among some european leaders. visiting here with respect to weapons and there has been so much attention on the weapons issue. the ukranian president continuously asking for more help from his western bacchus, the french president said that france would continue in supplying for ukraine with some heavy weaponry. we know that so for example, the caesar, how it system has been certainly as ukraine is reported, very successful and much appreciated here. an implication that more of those weapons would be sent from france. but i far less committed statement made by the german chancellor. all of sholtes on this issue. mister schultz under increasing domestic and international pressure to supply more weapons to ukraine,

accused of dragging his feet on this issue. there were no mentions of any tanks being sent by germany, won't ukraine's e u candidacy status. another major issue, i again, less of a unified response to this. we had it from the french president he saying that say he wholeheartedly supported the candidacy status of ukraine. but this was the beginning of a long process. similar kind of woods from the italian prime minister mario dragon, who said that he supported that candidacy status. but they were in his words, profound reforms that ukraine needs to be made to full. eventually, membership comes through. the crane is also top of the agenda in brussels. nato defense ministers are discussing the build up of troops along the alliances, east and borders. the meeting sets the stage for a larger nato summit. at the end of the month, us defense secretary lloyd austin reiterated his support for finland and sweden's bid to join the alliance and said,

girls of nato have not changed. during our time together, i've encouraged my fellow ministers to do even more. we all share the responsibility to procure, prepare and provide ready capabilities enforcers. to prepare this alliance for the challenges to comb, nato's preeminent task is not change to defend each and every alloy sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence. and that's why america's commitment tomato into article 5 remains are employer. on wednesday, the white house announced an additional $1000000000.00 and military aid for ukraine includes anti ship rocket systems, artillery and ammunition is also $225000000.00 in humanitarian aid. it's get more from our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit. so kimberly,

now the u. s. is committed to that massive aid package or all the ne to members feeling the heat to come up with similar packages. yeah, there's no question that there is pressure now on these other nato mill members, and you heard there that the not so subtle message from the defense secretary lloyd austin, reminding them of their commitment of article 5 that an attack on one is an attack on all in other words, even though you crane is not a member of nato, i, nato has decided to defend ukraine's sovereignty from russia's invasion of ukraine . and as such, there is a need for these members to step up their military contributions in terms of hardware and equipment. so the united states, a once again leading by example, in the words of the u. s. president. he has been very vocal in working with

partners and allies. the united states has given some 5600000000, the latest, the largest grouping of military hardware, some 1000000000 in military assets, as you pointed out, not just missile launchers of howitzers, but also anti ship systems. and the reason for this is very, very specific. this is designed to really try and turn the tide for the ukranian military, which right now is outnumbered by the russian military and its hardware. how all of a ne to members responding to the message of lord austin then about carrying more of the way through the night? well, it's interesting because this spokes person or are rather the nato secretary general against oldenburg, was rather vague. when speaking on behalf of the members, he said that the members are prepared to continue to provide substantial and

unprecedented support. but he would not detail what that support looks like. and we know that in, in the case of germany, for example, there has been a bit of heal dragging. and that being one of the more wealthy members, you can suspect that the other members that will have some difficulty trying to step up to this commitment. so there is a lot of pressure on these nato members, the united states does expect their them to hold up to their commitments. i and there is going to be pressure on them in the coming days as this sort of meeting sets. the table, the 2 day meeting in brussels really sets the stage for the meeting that will be taking place in madrid. at the end of the month. this is where the nato leaders will be sitting down to discuss very specifically the commitments that will be necessary in order for these western leaders to support ukraine in its battle for

sovereignty against russia. i, thanks so much kimberley. how can now the you, i says it's captured a senior isolated during a military raid in milton syria, honey, i'm a good quality was taken into custody from a village southwest of jobless us forces say he's a season bombay comas, planning attacks. no injuries were full to during the operation to iraq. now we're influential, shia cleric motel saw those made statements about these political future. so that says he won't be involved in the next election. if the politicians he's accusing of being corrupt, take part. the leader of the largest block in parliament made the statement in a closed meeting just days after 73 members of his policy resigned from the parliament. well, that means iraq face is more political on certain 3 answer, an 8 month deadlock and favorites, a form of government. and i decided to withdraw from the political process to avoid

associating with those corrupt politicians in any way. neither in this world nor in the hereafter, as well, like you as well, like you, you really did well and bates, why thank you. what i want to tell you is that in the next stage, i will not participate in the coming elections. also, with corrupt politicians, if they participate, this is a pledge between me and god, no more than the law had reports now from bank that after 8 months of political, a stalemate in iraq and following the resignation of $73.00 parliament members knocked at the souther who's a political block has the majority of seats in the parliament, which recently resigned and now said that he is not intending to share any future government or even any elections with his rival political parties. he means the iranian backed political parties, if he continues as such, then his rivals would move on with forming

a government. but it would most probably be a fragile government in this case, not to the southern. and his supporters would take their position site, his supporters, he would take to the streets and try to oust that governments. and the country would most probably be brought to square, one like in 2019 when protested took to the streets in a nation wide mass protests, which should revolted against corruption and mismanage. now to day in iraq, people in street are very angry. they're very disappointed at the current politicians. they say they have been waiting for long for a new government to make a change in their lives. could as years, main labor union is on strike, to demand an increase in salaries and concessions on looming reforms of the 3000000 people are part of the powerful tuners. in general labor union,

the place where the suspect said he buried the bodies and also the place. he said he had hit him, but he sank the boat as the investigations had revealed to us. of the killing of bruna, peta and don phillips has drawn global attention, but it's only the latest in a string of fatal attacks. again, environmental and indigenous activists in brazil, according to figure from the right group, global witness, more than 300 have been since 2012 and only a handful of those responsible have been convicted. recent victims include tribal chief, m e r y p. he was stabbed to death in 2019 when gold mine is invaded and indigenous reserve prefix of accused president job of finance of increasing the threat to activists by pushing for more development in the amazon mechanic. if is live for us from rio de janeiro, what kind of reaction are we getting now to the,

to that confession there in the news that the body is perhaps been discovered well up, the brazilian media have been covering this news extensively just because it was such a it provoked such an outrage internationally. aah! had little no bid ada been the only one to to go missing. i do not think it would have had this much coverage inside the country. this is a huge country. the amazon is only 13 percent of brazil and it is, it's an unchartered territory for the most part. the reaction now is we're waiting for the bodies to be taken to brazilian, to be formally identified with dnas samples that were collected from both men, both bruno and of also from a dom phillips. ah, well, their families are distressed, but they are at least

a saying that they found some closure knowing what happened to them, but that this is only the beginning of a struggle because ah, the fact that 2 men died or were killed because they were defending, ah, the amazon, the people living there means that something is very wrong. and so what, what people are saying is they are struggles should not go unnoticed just because they were killed or i will leave that thanks, ranch, monica mckee, if latin america's largest economy is also struggling with inflation. brazil central bank has raised its benchmark right by half a percentage point. it's the 11th hike with indications of more to come. rising food and fuel prices means more families are battling to make ends meet. and the grim picture continues around the world as countries struggle to recover from the economic fall out of the pandemic. supply chain disruptions on taking
