for us, we understand the differences americans have cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it out 0, we're bringing the news and current affairs that matter to you. count as aaron from the world's most populated region in den and untold stories across asia and the pacific. to discover the current events with diverse coaches and conflicting politics. one 0, one east. on al jazeera. ah,

this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is down here and use our life from london coming up out a 0 obtains an image of the bullet that killed its journalist sharina i work late in janine last month. plus we are fortunate for mr. pence is colors. on january 6th, our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe. the committee investigating the attack on capitol hill says at one point, the mob that invaded was just 12 meters from vice president mike pence. leaders of italy, france, and germany traveled to keith to show solidarity with ukraine to being criticized for being too cautious in their support. germans urged to reduce their energy consumption after russia more than half its gas supply to europe, sending prices soaring. and in sport, northern ireland, jewelry mcelroy makes

a strong start at golf's u. s. open ah, out a 0 has obtained an image of the bullet used to kill its journalist sharing abruptly last month. experts say it's used in m for rifles, which are used by the israeli army. sharon was shot in the head by israeli forces while on assignment in janine, in the occupied west bank. members of the international community have condemned her killing and continued to call for an investigation. as a bake begins our coverage, the remains of the bullet that killed journalists sharina obliquely. this image is being broadcast for the 1st time and shows a type of ammunition used to kill the veteran al jazeera journalist in the occupied west bank last month. according to experts, the green tip bullet is capable of piercing armor and is used in

a m full rifle. when we simulated the green tip bullets using 3 d models and according to ballistic and forensic experts, the munition that ended sharon's life was a 5.56 millimeter caliber. the bullet was 1st designed and manufactured in the united states. according to the palestinian prosecutor's office and the autopsy report, the bullet entered the lower part of sharon's head to ricocheted off her helmet and lodged itself in her head. this m for and this m univision is used by the israeli army. and if you are just gone through google, you will find one of the dead guns which used by the israeli ga army as in for gold and for it's available and it is used it is used by the eunice general fires also believes when using such a bullet,

the intention is clear when any soldier used that he used it for afford a definite target. you want to hand wanted kill. we have used 3 d models to identify the types of weapons is ready, soldiers were using in this video. we found it was a m for rifle, the type of gun that uses $5.00 caliber bullets. open source data supports the fact the israeli special unit accused of shooting sharing uses this type of weapon used in a non combat situation. fight by the israeli army. clearly identifiable journalist doing her job justice assuring is yet to be delivered. accountability, still not taking place. questions remain unanswered, including if an order was given to kill her, why was she shut despite been clearly marked as a journalist and posed no threat. what made an israeli soldier target her from such

a short range? all of this is further reason why the palestinian authority and l just the media network have demanded an independent investigation into the killing of sharing a black, like i said, bake jazeera earlier out as irrespective ambassador. now he josie, the palestinian assistant minister for multilateral affairs. he says there's no doubt that israel was behind the killing and that palestine will hold onto the bullet his evidence for the time being. we think that there is enough evidence with the prosecutor and including all the other investigations that took place that prove without reasonable doubt that the crime committed against serious barkley was done by israeli occupation. and they are the traitors of this awful crime. and they should be held responsible. the whole investigation file of the palestinian

attorney general was presented to the u. s. administration. and we think that there is enough evidence by palestine and by all other outlets, including hawk, but salem jazeera today, cnn, and washington post all of these, you know, different investigative reports that had proved that sharing was targeted without reasonable doubt by israeli soldiers have been also. ready present before the eyes of the us administration. what we're asking now is that the us do right by sri and and does exactly what it did in other occasions where america citizens were targeted. let alone her being a journalist. while the bullet remains with the palestinian government until, you know, there is a requirement that we see hope that there will be some accountability done in this regard. in that case, i think we are ready to reconsider, but the, the policy investigations and the policy right to hold onto this evidence is

accurate and correct in this regard. chris cobb smith is a security expert and director of car on resources. he joins us by skype from devon . thanks very much for being with us. what sort of things would you be looking at if you were looking at this one as part of an investigation? well, let's go back to the book initially. i think one of the most important things now we have no reason to believe this. but for any credible investigation 1st, there must be a definitive chain of evidence admissible to a court. this is actually the book that did kill us right there. we got no reason to believe it's not. the 1st thing is we're going to absolutely show that it is. but also i think it's important that we don't get too fixated on this book. on this green chapel, everyone keeps referring to. then the numerous other factors we talk to me

a far more important than investigating this case. i think the other factors include, why are all the adversaries? well, the time where streams that katie, where there's really defense, full of security forces relocated. and those are already been audio analysis done on the, on the soundtrack of the shot that killed her. now we know that was approximately, i think it's 100 under 92 under 90 meters away. so in the cases like that i've, i think how to build the picture in a far more important lincoln than getting fixated on the round itself. what about the, you mentioned the kind of the situation where people will, from what you've seen of the videos and as you said, the audio, what kind of elements kind of stand out to you that that would be particularly important in investigation. and the exact locations of a antagonist during the action that took place that day where the palestinian fighters were, where it is,

where the defense force as well. the security forces were in relation to where sharing the standard i've been here about to start off with the audio of course. but i think another interesting fact for a fact that has to be brought into consideration is the fact that there are a number of strike marks on the tree next to which sharon was standing. that indicates to me that the, the was not, you know, she didn't die as a result of a random shot them as a result of that was going on at the moment. the fact that there were a number of rounds that struck that tray and she will also hit it indicate that she looked very much like she was being time to time. so so, so just to clarify that it was rounds that the tree you think are assigned that she was shot at deliberately. and that, that to they would, they should have more than once. that is exactly that is enclosed the conclusion i reached from having a look at the footage and the evidence that a number of round

a round 5 impacted on the tree close together to be the tree. she was standing next to it is just further evidence that she was not saying go around randomly, father action. now the been many calls for from al jazeera and from others international community for a transparent investigation and accountability. how difficult is it as time goes on to, to arrive at an investigation that, that will do that can still be done with these investigations by far preferable to get on the ground. immediately. evidence is still fresh. witness. witness statements still fresh. and in a month after they asked the incidence itself, it's much more difficult to gather credible evidence. so if i've been, i've looked at several incidents of death to join us around the world. usually i

like to get on the ground within, within 24 hours a months later it's going to be much more difficult press cub smith. thank you very much indeed to your expertise on the subject. thank you. that already give us as the advocacy director to breaking the silence and organization of veteran is ready, soldiers aiming to highlight the reality of life in the occupied territories. he explains how israel might go about investigating deaths like sharina workplace. the system understands. now the patient, the military, israel, our country, understands that if we really look into all these cases, it will all go back to the right. and this is why the system is verified from actually conducting investigation by the soldier that he's 19 when the, when the money role in receive the mission to enter the city of janine is uni and his face with violence,

a dimension and ends up union in policy and the vast majority of these cases will be because the system sent him to do that. i haven't investigate any really, you know, or really investigating any. when we see investigations of similar cases, why it will only be only be if there is a very clear to commendation of incidents. yeah, very clear i still. and even then there will be no accountability is really police investigation, has found that officers engaged in misconduct during sharina worthless funeral. but commanders who supervise the operation won't face serious punishment. that's according to israel. hereto newspaper is ready, right. police pushed and beat mourners almost causing poor whereas to drop the casket, the violence shot people across the world adding to outrage of assurance killing her. it says the report found that police engaged in misconduct,

but also said it was suitable for them to use violence. so they could have refrained from using clubs. it's not clear if any of the offices who beat the pool barriers will be disciplined. coming up on the news are from london. australia is energy minister urges millions of residents to cut their power use every evening to prevent blackouts. i didn't support the venue are now for the 2026 world cup in the us, mexico and canada. ah, for us vice president mike pence, his life was in danger. when writers attacked capitol hill last year, a new to the u. s. congressional committee investigating the insurrection. we should face out a former us president, donald trump repeatedly refused to accept the election result. the panel says writers came within 12 meters from where pence was inside the building. it then had

to be moved, as the capital was overwhelmed with new bodies pictures, showing him sheltering on the ground. the panel had how pence stay there for 4 and a half hours before returning to the senate to finish his constitutional duty of presiding over the electoral count. the former president wanted pence to reject the vote and either declared the winner offend the votes back to the states to be counted again. mike pens say it. no. he resisted the pressure. he knew it was the legal. he knew it was wrong. we are fortunate, but mr. pence is curtis on january 6th. our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe that declaration of donald trump as the next president would have plunged america

into what i believe would have been tantamount to lay revolution within a constitutional crisis as well. i'm not sure how does your castro's in washington, dc to was that was the main focus of today's hearing. a lauren, the focus was absolutely on former vice president mike. hence, not only the sheltering and the how close his life came to danger that day on january 6th, but also the intense pressure that he and his aides were under. in the days leading up to that insurrection, there were meetings that he and his chief council had with former president trump's legal team, in which there was a reading of the constitution. if, if, if you will,

by one of trump's former attorneys that was derided. and that was deemed it a completely bogus, in essence, saying that it was the vice president who had the authority to invalidate the people's vote and select who he wanted for. president pence reportedly from these witness. testimonies said that he was against that idea. his instinct was there was no way the founders of the u. s. constitution would have put that, would that, would that been their intention? and that analysis was confirmed by his attorneys. and so from the start, witnesses say multiple witnesses say that pence never agree to go along with this idea which enraged president, trump. we're also learning more about the timeline on january 6th, how that very morning. trump called pens to once again lay on the pressure and say, when you are presiding over congress to day, turn back these electoral votes that are supposed to be for bided and delay this

process so that the election results can be overturned again, hence, refuse to comply then of course, we saw the violence unfold, we saw president trump go on stage, addressing his followers, saying that it was up to mike pence. he said quote, to defend the country. and when pence didn't go along with the plan, we saw things get violent here. and dosage committee actually have any powers to it to act on any of its findings. right, this is a fact finding investigation. lauren, which is key here because the best they can do unilaterally is draft a compelling public report and show this evidence of the public, which is what they're doing with these hearings. they do also have one more tool at their disposal, which is to make a criminal referral to the department of justice if they so choose. but that's not going to be a legally binding referral. if they go that route, it would simply be a suggestion to lay more pressure on that department of justice investigation,

which i should add is ongoing. we don't know exactly at what point that that investigation has arrived at what the potential for criminal charges against trump's aids, perhaps even against the former president himself. those have not been ruled out there still a lot at play here, a lot left to be seen. why does your culture thank you very much. indeed. the need is a full european countries visiting cave, say they're in favor of ukraine, joining the e u. it is a france, germany, italy and romania met president wrote him is zalinski and show of solidarity. ukraine has pushed for rapid accession to the european union since the russian invasion in february. charles stratford reports from keith, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski needed this visit. the leaders of france, germany, italy, and romania arrived in the ukrainian capital cave in what the ukrainian leader and many eastern european countries hoped would show you

a clear and unity at this spell. rumors that france and germany, at least we're going soft on supporting grain of the visiting european when the outskirts of keith, one of many areas where russia is accused of committing war crimes. in the initial weeks after the war started, meetings were held before a press conference in the muranski prost garden, residential warrior. close your harness. the french president seemed keen to put the record straight ukraine has to win this war and maintain its territorial integrity. he said he promised more weapons left hans to people mutual. funds has since day once completely on its commitments. and each time that i made a commitment to you was given rise to a decision and rapid implementation because we know that it takes material but isn't really quickly. so my own military hardware, germany's leader chancellor schultz has faced weeks of criticism from ukraine for foot, dragging on military support. he seemed less equivocal. now. the okay,

nauseous, military mode at the moment. we are training the craney and military with our most modern weapons. a how it's a 2000 and on the leopard air defenses to have a we've also agreed to deliver our modern air defense system, the iris t, which is able to defend a whole city attack and especially radar system, the cobra. and we've agreed a trilateral agreement with the u. s. and my u. k. or the deliver rocket launchers. as you can see, that germany is providing significant support to your craft. our kid verify game with schultz agreed with his french italian and romanian counterparts that ukraine's candidacy status and potential e. u. membership wise comes with conditions of italian prime minister mario druggie agreed, but ukraine must commit to profound reforms. he said, the in a bit are decayed message of you for i want to say to day that the most important message of, of is it really does that. italy wants ukraine in the you, no, no,

no repair to his for his duration ending craner. today is a truly historic day. ukraine has felt the supporter for powerful european states and in particular support for our movement towards the european union. italy, we're mainly at france and germany, a with us. all 4 ladies. mister dragging. mister, your highness. mister negron and mister shaw, busily support ukraine's candidacy. my dog. of course, all relevant procedures must be followed all a you member state must join with that at our meeting today, a big step was made a step forward. his please for increasing amounts of powerful weapons from his west and back as seems to grow louder every day. ukraine's eventual and potential e u membership seems to be taken seriously. but with strict conditions and a very long timeline, there was consent agreement, though, on what's being described as russia's see blockade. the french president saying that this was all russia's fault, and moscow has

a duty to help solve it. cha strafford al jazeera cave russian that separate us leaders in your friends, your hands, the region, say efforts to evacuate civilians from a chemical plant in battle. ground city have failed because of ukrainian shilling. russian state television has ad footage of damage to several of the netscape. on the as of the chemical plant for about $500.00 civilians are believed to be sheltering from miss on a tax. russian officials had announced a humanitarian corridor from the plant, but said civilians would be evacuated to areas under the control of russia, not ukraine in as soon as a ukrainian member of parliament and part of the opposition pro european hollows partition joins us live from key. thanks very much for being with us. there's to go back to the meet to the meeting with the for you leaders who are in ukraine today saying that they that you should be given immediate candidate status. how confident are you that the rest of the you, which is due to nasa and this on this on friday will make the same decision. but

we certainly very much hope so. and we do hope that the lead this over the you who came to cave today would not have made such an announcement unless that was coordinated with that you remember states because we are still unclear about the position of the netherlands. they have been very much against a not so much guest ukrainian candidates to but again, they are typically better michigan's enlargement altogether. so we still need to hear from the netherlands. but other than that, i do think that seems like candidacy is much more likely today than we believed to be yesterday. and in terms of all the promises we had that to the french president . i mean, my home has pledged more long range artillery for ukraine. how much of a gap is there at the moment between the promises made and then that the amount of time it takes to get the equipment into, into theater? whether it really depends and will say to eliza, we do not necessarily loan about the deliveries that are taking place as soon as

they deliver to, to ukraine. because for security reasons apparently. but there is definitely a gap. and that gap relates to the situation where in some areas of the front, the ukrainian, russian, the russians have a barrier each about 10 times higher compared to the ukraine and army. it's not always there, it's not always like this, but it's still pretty significant superiority on the russian side. as of right now, that is why we, unfortunately in a position where we have to keep on asking for more, will happens to be able to protect ourselves. tell me a bit about we mentioned earlier in the program the, the russian back to sup, just need is in your hunts region. say that the efforts to evacuate the, the chemical plant failed because of ukrainian shelling. what, what's your view on what's going on? will definitely ukraine, an army not selling ukrainian civilians. russians have been claiming this for us in

the, the 23rd of february that has not been in the case. the very fact that he crane and i'm east trying to save as many as possible is one of the reasons why we are not biting as much as we could have against russians. the russians are showing the territories no regard for the life of the civilians. our army don't care for that and that limits the scope of engagement for the brain. and i mean, but the problem is not the shelling of the crania an army oh, on the civilians. the major problem is that those sealants just didn't want to leave. and to be evacuated to the territories controlled by russia, and that is the major issue. and they don't want to go there because they hate russia for what it has done to their lives. so what i mean at the moment, what your estimation is, it is around one estimation. so it was around $10000.00 civilians trapped in this area to next. what is there any progress on trying to get them out? i think the number would be a little bit lower than that, but again,

we can know for sure. absolutely. but the problem is that right now your cranium side is unable to conduct patients because of the roads not being safe. i had to go to the russian showings and because of the several bridges blown up them. so, so right now it's close to impossible to been active occasions from, from the area into the brain and controls territories. and unfortunately, indeed, ukrainian on the troops that i situate that i in a very dire situation, their fight and back as much as they can. or the situation is indeed they very complicated in assumption, thank you very much indeed for don't hear nato defense ministers have been discussing ways to bolster the alliances, easton flank, to deter russia from planning war aggression, artists invasion of ukraine. i've been holding talks in brussels ahead of a summit in madrid in 2 weeks when i set to decide on the future military lineup, it on says deployed additional trips, ships and jets to the region. the members are now divided and what to do next?

like how to divide weapons and where to send reinforcements. rushes aggression is a game changer. so ne thought must maintain credible the turns and strong the firms to day ministers arrests or the scale under the sign, or future poster. and all we can step up across all domains with substantial strengthening our presence capabilities on the readiness. this will mean more natal forward deployed combat formations to strength. no battle battle groups in the eastern part of the lions. more air c and cyber defenses. as well as preposition equipment on the weapons stockpiles is not small still to come this hour, including a generation of children growing up in camps was in ukraine and syria drive. the number of displaced people to

a new record. another crisis where he is president of the countries main labor union goes on strike. 32 teams now qualified for the world cup. we look at the security measures put in place for the tone of much ah here's her forecasts for friday. hello, everyone. thanks for joining in. we're turning on the heat for that northwest slice of europe. look at this in london 32 degrees. i think some spots in england. 34. not out of the question. we've got in paris at 35 degrees. that's on friday. watch what happens on saturday. the wind shift around, we've got a band of showers, england right through to wales. so london that takes down your temperature to 24, but still hot sunshine in paris and 36 degrees. now of course, all of this heat is coming out from north africa through iberia. so sunspots hit

and 40 degrees that includes madrid. there are showers and storms to be found, mostly across the balkans, particularly bad in kosovo. so christina will have a wet day on friday and we could see some more flooding and anchor, of course, trying to recover over that last round of pretty intense rain and more of it in the forecast on friday speaking about wednesday shifted around in martinez. so thats pumped up the temperature and new ox shut to 40 degrees, some lively downpours in liberia. and for now south africa st. her con on friday. plenty of sun for keep down at 18 degrees. let me put this for to saturday or next weather maker marches in. so white and windy for the western cape. not bad in durban, though, with the height of 22 degrees. that's see you soon. take care. the ears from al jazeera on the go and me tonight out is there is only

ah ah, one of the top stories around his era out there is obtained an image of the bullet used to kill its journalist, cheering ab, okay, last month. experts say it's used in an m for rifle, which is widely used by the israeli military. former us vice president mike pence, his life was in danger when writers attacked capitol hill last year. according to the u. s. congressional committee investigating the insurrection which took place off. donald trump refused to accept the election result and pressured pence not to certify it. and the heads of 4 european countries visiting keeps they, they're in favor of ukraine joining the use and he just fries germany actually and romania met. president go to ms. let's keep in the show of one of darcy.

russia's stay turned energy company gas problem has been accused of deliberately cutting gas appliance to italy and germany flows from the north stream. one pipeline to germany have been reduced by 60 percent. overall, german vice chancellor is urging citizens to save energy and some european prices. a spike by as much as 40 percent. when richard is biggest energy companies also says it's only receiving 65 percent of supply. the criminal has blamed maintenance problem is caused by sanctions, but it really is prime minister says moscow's lying is biggest. the only one of the explanations is that the maintenance of these pipes and plants require a spare part. and because of the sanctions, the spare parts do not right. so they have to cut supplies in both germany and we and others believe that these allies that there is actually a political use of gas up just as there is a political use of weekend or gas promise. chief because it's

a case of our product, our rules, and he wound the you against terminating its contract early. it was i said human good thing. one well known chinese emperor one said if you rival, lets say apartments, he's making a mistake, don't stop him from making it. well, we won't, you giving up long term contracts is very risky. you thomas, stephanie o'donnell is an energy analyst with the her to school of governance. so he joins us now by skype from berlin. thanks very much for being with us. so different interpretation, say from obviously from russia and from others as to what's going on, what's your take on, on this? well, if you took the, the russians at their word, when they 1st made the cutter 40 percent, they said it was because there was some compressor parts. they had sent off to siemens to repair, i believe in canada, and they can't be returned because the sanctions, fine. i mean they can have a waiver to get the pads back. and let's see if anything changes. i doubt it would . this is a continuation of what's been going on now, as in particular,

since august of last year, where they, when they began cutting gas to europe, it's a weapon ization of the dependency of europe rushing gas there, weapon ising, that dependency. and what about the timing of a city? i mean, that was you had european leaders in ukraine today. was it getting was linked to that? well, i mean, it is, you know, we try to figure out what's in mr. hooton's mind. i don't know if it's particularly linked to that, but i would say that there's been a consistent policy. has been a consistent pattern last year. ah, you know, night in the 20202020. i'm sorry. 2021. 22002 winter were very low, used up a lot of gas and had to build up gas for this one. just this past winter. and mr. boone refused to sell spark gas. that is gas. that wasn't in any long term contract

. and he did not fill european storage that put the european union in a very precarious position this last winter. and we only really got through it without rationing because it wasn't exceptionally cold and the wind blew and so forth for, for that. so he's continuing this pattern by playing games that he also had the game you'll remember of rubles if you don't pay me a rules, i won't give you gas. well, it turns out that unit, for a company here in germany and any the italian company agreed to pay an roubles, and they both announced this today that their gas is being cut as part of this. so it's a new gain. the lower the reserves in europe, europe are the lower the supply is now when winter comes in is coal. the more likely that we have to be rationing in europe and quite a crisis of political crisis and an economic crisis that affects everybody. and this is something putin can do to europe as part of an economic war,

along with his real war, his real hot war against ukraine. so the issue finding quite a big picture of what could happen. i mean, europe has been trying to diversify sources of, of gas, but, and i suppose that's a slow process. what, what happens if, you know, russia decides to cut off a gas completely, which has been, it could do content? well, yes, i don't think any politician wants to go into great detail, but it's well known in 2014 after putin invaded you creating the 1st time when a bottle was president, there was a g 7 meeting and they decided to do a stress test. the stress test was, will tell what happens if russia cuts off the gas for a month, 3 months, 6 months. and they looked at a map of the european union. they asked all the countries what would happen. and it turns out that there's a whole lot of countries, of course, that are almost completely dependent on russian gas for gas. it would be very difficult to supply these countries. let me explain if i made the storage that's being filled up in europe is sort of for

a surge in winter time. that assumes that all the big pipelines for russia as well as norway are all running at full tilt and they can't provide enough in winter. and that's what the storage is for. but if those pipelines are cut off for russia, the storage cannot make up the difference. you would be short and you're going to have to start deciding what to cut. so that stress test showed that there simply would not be enough gas. you only bring so much new l n g in and so forth. and countries the, the conclusion was that solidarity will get us through it. i wrote an article of the time calling and official optimism. that means countries with extra gas would have to. ringback ship it to countries who had no gas, but in this case there won't be any countries with extra gas. so countries who have a little more than others will be forced to share. and you can imagine the problems that would arise in european union under those situation. the situation come as a general, thank you very much indeed to feel expertise on the subject. nike,

thank you for having affairs of blackouts across much of australia in the coming days, affronted the energy minister to urge millions not to use electricity for 2 hours every evening if possible. the energy crisis is one of a range of challenges facing australia's newly elected government. other problems include inflation and rising food prices. a sarah clark reports from brisbin. this is one of australia's busiest fruit and vegetable markets. it's normally a hive of activity, but after series of extreme weather events less fresh produce is being delivered to city markets. by the moment, the both long, the rhetorical form my review of hyper via web, over blood, through fog delivered through voice, very cold weather articulation. then survey report. that was all the floor suppliers, kentucky fried chicken, has substituted lettuce with cabbage in its burgers. the floods combined with a labor shortage as a result of border closures have also pushed up retail costs. whether though,

the wired mom and the mom quarter have to go up bill hubble, one brought it's not just a shortage of fresh produce. australia has been plunged into an energy crisis, but the national market operator, suspending market pricing to avoid power outages in up to 5 states. the war and ukraine has led to a global gas shortage prompting australia to rely on its aging coal fired power stations. a quarter of which i currently offline, despite being a major producer, 90 percent of the liquefied natural gas produced on the east coast is exported to china, south korea, and japan. that actually means that there's only a little bit left and the little bit that's left is sold on the international spot market. and of course, we are now having to purchase that back for domestic consumption at prices that have gone up in 80 times or more. the energy regulator has intervened and set

a price cap, but many families will still be struggling to heat their home. as a stranger experiences, a series of cold fence, it means people is dying because they don't put their hating on and people are dying because they need access health care. but they can't afford to. and people are dying because their health is in such dire straits because of the fact that they can't afford to 8 properly, the gas crisis and food shortage, just to of a number of challenges facing the newly elected labor government. with this in mind, the be great to introduce new cost of living measures in the type of budget to deliver on election pledges on child care wages and medicine. until in the government warned is unlikely to be any immediate reprieve. sarah clark, audi 0, brisbin. the fighting and ukraine has dramatically pushed out the number of people displaced around the world. the un says that figure has cost 100000000 for the 1st time up from 89300000. at the end of last year,

syria sufferings in the world's largest displacement crisis was 13000000 people have either fled the country or been displaced within its borders since the war began 11 years ago. and is in a 100 reports most live in poverty. and without any guarantee of security, hundreds of dollars, a victim of serious war. more than 13000000 people, that's half the population before the war are in a similar situation. either forced to flee the country or are displaced within its borders and i'm re sundays and it probably more. i am 70 years old. i prefer to die than. ready like this in poverty and misery, and without my children who are now scattered everywhere. for most life in exile is becoming more permanent. and the opposition controlled north. hundreds of thousands of syrians are being moved out of tense into concrete housing units. it's some relief from the cold winter's in hot summer's, but it's not home. opponents of the government, civilians and fighters, men, women,

and children were forced to move and government troops gradually recapture territory. over the years of fighting about an up, none is a 100 sovereigns or it's not easy leaving home. it's painful. there is a lot of pain. hope to return one day and live under a new system of government. 11 years on the front lines still divide the country and the regime and the opposition are far from a political solution. a new generation has only known war and life in camps for many of the displaced. returning to president bashar said syria is not an option in the absence of safety guarantees, political reform and justice in the home to me probably. 5 years ago we left our homes are livelihood now. my husband was killed in order through here and there is nothing for us. but time has done little to erase memories of a violent conflict,

which is now in a stalemate. but when i'm going to be, they forced us from our homes. after heavy bombardment, they destroyed street by streets. they dropped power bombs and killed so many people who besieged and hungry. serious displacement crisis has been described as this centuries largest human exodus. many have been forced to find safety many times over, but their troubles are being compounded by collapsing economy. it's a stark reality across the war torn nation where 60 percent of the population are facing hunger. seneca, they're osha, 0. soon as you, as main labor union has gone on strike, demanding an increase in salaries and concessions on looming economic reforms. up to 3000000 members, a part of the powerful chin as you know, general labor union and thousands held a rally in the capital tunis. i increasing pressure on present case i had government, which announced plans last week to cut its massive public wage bill and reduce food
