of in experience that opposed entry or quality say it's too early to assess the extent of the damage. afghanistan is already in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. most agencies pulled out when the by the bank to control in august last year. german just spacing with international sanction and been not to have no more facilities to provide people, but they do use that facilities that they have in their hands. a benita. now wait a minute. international assistant program will become to support people, unhinge government about of quakes are common in the hindu kush mountains. one of the worst was a magnitude 7.5 quake in 2015, which killed hundreds of people on both sides of afghanistan support of pakistan. i'm at 5 or just was bringing samantha moore. she is chief of communication

advocacy in civic engagement. unicef, she joins us now live from couple from what we understand. this was a huge earthquake, felt all the way from pakistan to even in couple where you will. what is your understanding of the situation on the ground? have you managed to send a team that it seems it is getting worse by the hour. we are not able to verify casualties at the moment. situation is still very fluid. but the explanation claiming we have got here for mobile health and nutrition team on the ground giving 1st age to the own route. at the moment, we have interagency assessment team and trucks of supplies to help who's most effective, including things like hiking, pit blankets and kit to help people cook new lift. this is a remote part of the country. i mean,

how difficult is it going to be to get your teams that how long is it going to take? well, early, early this morning we are facing some difficulties. we've had some unseasonal rain in the last few days and we know already that there are land flights that are blocking some routes so that they certainly go into efforts. but we are able to get into some of the areas that are affected. what is the priority when it comes to disaster like this? i mean, we know a number of homes have been destroyed because the homes were not built from concrete so easily destroyed by the earthquake. presumably the people trapped underneath it, trying to get people out to try and rescue people or is it 2 point? no, it's not too late. there will be, you know, desperate efforts. ongoing movements to, you know,

uncovered people who are trapped under the rubble. get them into the hospital. as i said, our teens are they are giving emergency 1st age to those who are injured and then because it's been a bit cold. recently, we're getting the tense and the term poland. people shelter from watergate and food . psycho social counseling to help you with what has happened to them. of course, this happens, you know, again the backdrop of many different challenges in understand from drugs and mom, nutrition, economic traces, these people have nothing and they need the support of the global community. yeah. as you say, i mean the country already facing humanitarian crisis when you add on a big natural disaster like this, how does the country cope it's very, very difficult. you know, people's coping systems have been weakened, not just in the last year, but after you know, 40 years of conflict, crisis and insecurity. we know that there's

a malnutrition crisis. people are not strong physically. we know that there's not much money in the, in the, in the communities that food prices are high and diseases spreading. so the faster we get to these communities who are most effective, the better it's, it's good to know that your organization is still in the country. i've got this done in the past is heavily relied on international organizations for many things from health care to, to relief in these sorts of situations. how many organizations like yours are left in the country? i don't, i don't have a cigarette, but i can tell you that the u. n. family is here on the agencies lifecycle mission is here we are all active. we're supporting the de facto authorities in this response effort. we're working in a, in a coordinated way to reach the people who need help fast samantha,

most really good to talk to your chief of communication advocacy instead of engagements at unicef. there for us in cobble russia is stepping up its assault on ukraine's eastern city of savannah. don yeske faced fighting has been reported. his troops carry out as strikes and shelling on ukrainian positions the cranium. he says it's forced back the russian advance at multiple locations in the enhanced region. most guys reportedly had to bring in reserve offices to make up for heavy losses. let's go to a corresponding charl stratford, who joins now from keith charles unless they bring us up to date with the situation in the east of the country. yes, you're right sir. the focus of fighting still around that city of several. the next one of the last 2 cities in the loop tanks region that sir russia does not fully

control according to the ukraine army last night. russians have taken control of 3 more villages, south of several and lizard. lucy chanced, this is a worrying sign because what it suggests is that sir, no longer are they pushing in from the north. and we know that suburban etzky and this chance are separated by a river, but they're now coming around from the south and pushing up towards lucy chanced there. we know that there are lot of ukrainian military, a lot of soldiers in both those cities. busy the governor of le ganske region, and he's also saying that russians have cut supply routes to at least 2 villages close to lucy chance and also comments with respect to that chemical plant in sever down at the as all chemical plants that over the last couple of weeks or so we've

been hearing reports of up to was estimated to be around 300 civilians sheltering in that plants. and there are reports, increasing reports now that russian forces have begun to co into that area into the outskirts of that plant from the south. so yeah, i'm, although we have seen, as i say over the last couple of weeks, a lot of fighting in that area. it does seem now increasingly that those kind of incremental gains that russian forces have been making seem to be accelerating. we're also hearing reports of fighting north of the city of slavery. ant skin between slab dance can is young and we're hearing a heavy shelling in an around that area. apparently a oil facility or you ukrainian oil facility was hit. there are a couple of is ago and it's still on fire. we know there's a lot of western weapons that have been pushed into that area in recent times. but seemingly, it seems as if the ukrainian forces are very much under increasing pressure from

russian forces. now, as i say, coming up south towards lucy chance and several minutes in a bid in an effort to try and cut it off. charles and i understand you've had the chance to sit down and talk to president zalinski advisors and have you let much about what they're thinking, what a strategy is going forward. well, that's right. firstly with respect to what the president himself said last night. he and was, was keen to put more pressure on the european union for another round of sanctions . that would be the 7th round of sanctions that we know. certainly, according to president micron and the german chancellor, all of sholtes that were in p if last week they saying that they are ongoing negotiations to push that 7th round of sanctions forward. and you'll write yesterday we spoke to mchale polo luke, who is one of the presidential advisors. we spoke to him about a,

a range of issues, whether it be western sanctions, whether it be potential splits, being seen now, amongst european countries with respect to ukraine's e. u. candidacy status, let's have a listen to that conversation that we had yesterday. you said that there would never be any kind of deal to potentially seed territory to russia. how realistic is that? when you look at an area of land, the size of crimea, for example, an area of land in order to take control back of it, militarily, will involve potentially billions, more dollars worth of western weapons and thousands of lives. louis did, there are no still get any surrender of ukrainian territory would mean the war will continue with greater intensity. and on an even greater scale here, you should not see russia as an honest negotiating partner and sound legal agreements with. it is not believing it will be credible and honored in 2 or 3 years in russia is expansionist to the go. so it exists only by attacking other

states and attacks in various ways that using its energy resources, its military migration for using food as a weapon. that before you acquaint can never santa deal with russia in this context expense. and therefore the president clearly asked western pioneers to participate in this war. because ukraine doesn't have the military sources that russia has a we want to finish this war the right way are going and that means liberating our territories and falls, but also in re establishing our sovereignty with an internationally recognized borders. this is chrissy that also do you believe everything that western leaders like president micron, like all of schultz, for example, say giving you. certainly in rhetoric wholehearted support. when you look at the facts, we're looking potentially at a global recession, a global food crisis, rising inflation, huge challenges with gas supplies to europe in winter. how long do you honestly think that the europeans can continue this level of support? whether it be external, my kids knew before,

but in some countries living standards are dropping because of the situation in ukraine. but this is an all out war when it's happening on european territory. so of course i'm living standards are decreasing, which because europeans are indirectly involved in this war monster, they are paying for the expenses of this war. i understand they want to preserve their pre war life and comforts, and nobody wants bad news. but if russia gains more territory, it will think its tactics and strategy of humiliating other countries work so in all, and it will continue black mailing europe, the wind of what you say to you countries. you say that you are not yet ready for you candidacy status? yes, there are values that are worth living for. if any quinn is proving on the battlefield, that these values cost lives. they are european values. and secondly, i don't understand why you candidacy cannot be seen as an opportunity for ukraine to make the reforms we need for membership. and fortunately,

not every country understands the sea and is unnecessarily speculating that ukraine is not ready or could. europe is important for ukraine and that works both ways. we also spoke to the presidential adviser about russia's was described as russia's grain blockade on ukraine course. we know that there are tens of millions of tons of ukraine and agricultural products that are trapped stuck in silos because of what ukraine and it's western backers say is this russian blockade of the black sea . but all the arc was cagey in his response. but interestingly, he said that they were ongoing negotiations to try and solve this crisis negotiations that involved turkey, the u. n. and a number, a number of other countries. of course, russia has said that it is prepared to cooperate. it is said that said it has no problems with opening up what is being described potentially as

a safe passage out of those ports for that grain. but it is insisting that ukraine d mind, the coastal areas of the black sea 1st. and that is something so far that ukraine has staunchly refused to do so. it can be very interesting in the next couple days, hopefully whether we get some news on that, you all natur on that grain blockade. because according to the un, it could potentially cause a global food crisis. ok, thank you for that tells rapid f, as in keith of thousands of dutch farmers are converging on the rural village of strove to protest against government, new emission goals, the farmer se plans, the pollution levels, 70 percent, and close. some property will have a major impact on their livelihoods, and the economy. prime minister market says it's unavoidable, as a government steps up, efforts to meet you, emission standards. all the netherlands is a major agricultural producer next,

2nd only to the u. s. it exports $68000000000.00 worth of vegetables, fruits, flowers, meat, and dairy products every year. 25 percent of it goes to germany as largest trade partner, agriculture and horticulture account for 10 percent of the economy. now the government is increasing support, organic farmers use more environmentally friendly growing methods get more or less, we can speak to steph vaseline lloyd. first at the protest in stroke, i believe this is a pretty big protest. even schools in the area been close for it, tell us more about what's happening. well, the farmers have announced that this is going to be the largest, most protest that we've seen in the netherlands in forever. so they have much from their, from this morning in the early morning after making their house on the highway with the practice which has led to quite chaotic scenes on the highway said traffic was

stuck everywhere. now gathering here at this field, close to one of the largest, the nature parks and then that lives because especially farms closer, the natural parks have to cut emissions of nitrogen fairly significant. so the point that they can't exist any longer, so the government has given them a sort of free options. you have to move, or you have to completely adapt your way of farming. or you have to close down and the government has promised 25000000000 euros to buy outs promise. but these farmers don't want to stop. they have their children. the children are here as well . they have a future generation of farmers that they want also to be productive. so there is a big lash at the moment and it's been going on for years. but it's getting to a point that the government is really worried about the pharmacy response as well. it's been aggressive the past and a half and out really a lot of more actions. they actually visited the minister at home,

so it has been traps as well. so the situation is quite sense, not that the moment, but between departments and the government, you can say, how much support is that for the farmers to me, you've talked about the disruption that has been caused by the protest. i mean, inevitably, you know, this, this isn't supposed to be environmental well the, i'm sorry, mental, it's all very pleased with the government plan. a lot of the public actually was also not so much supported pharmacy in the past because of their aggressive actions and also blockage of highways. but just this morning, a new survey was really saying that support profile is going not because the dutch public feels that the promise are punished too much for the nitrogen emissions. they say also other sectors have to be taken in consideration. they also have to be punished in the way they also have to adjust. not only to pharma so support,

it's going up. but it also depends on how these protests, the process today, but also protests that will come in the next few weeks. i'm sure how they will evolve and how much the public is going to suffer from them. and in stroke, plenty law ahead on the needs, including the indigenous crisis. dive in, ecuador, as government demonstrations. take a violence. why scientists respect these red patch, you know, in the all the links, the climate change in the memories of our, on our, on get ready to celebrate the life back home. she's greatest player ah, ah, india's military scrambling to get supplies to people,

cut off by flooding and landslides and the northern stays of a psalm, doesn't have died and tens of thousands have been moved to thank t many remain stranded. the metal is with people displaced in the district of drunk tells us of people across the state are living like this in michel tens were on an embankment that is dotted by camps. like these people have come from a nearby village that is now under water. they say they receive little to no relief and using make shift rafts to go back and forth to get greens, the chopping wood to make fire. so they can cook. they're worried about potential diseases, which is why they sent their children away to relative homes that have not been impacted by these gods. there's a lot of anxiety about what the future holds. farmers here say that the floods have coincided with sewing season. and what about little crop they had is now totally

washed away so. so they don't know when they'd be able to make a living next. across the state, the situation is dire. incessant rain fall on the hills is causing rivers like hill to swell and water levels to rise across the state. the toll of people impacted by the sun is rising and his now cross 5 and a half 1000000 on neighboring bangladesh. soldiers have been deployed to help 1000000 strapped by flooding in the northeast. tomba chatter reports from some this is a scenario in the rural areas of silicon, ne, bangladesh miles and miles of water. you can see homes under those trees, some are some mount some got washoe it beg, logistical challenge to rescue people or bring food to this region unless the weather improves. this will take some time the water to recede, and if things get worse and noticed india does more rain than the flood water from not this sandy has gonna gush down into bangladesh and things could even get worse

. but we have covered miles after miles during our coverage and showing them guns the stick as well as, until at very rarely are within government effort and providing relief. as mostly private charities, an individual on their own any should it? yet the villages are desperate for food and fresh water. although the weather has improved much, the syllabus it is more or less safe, but the village areas are remote corners, are still in clear danger. most of the people are still stranded, trying to look for shelter, or even if they're in the shelter, they're in desperate need for food and fresh water. a little more on this story with our senior meteorologist everton folks everson is fanny relief in science. the people of indian bangladesh. well, the good news, my life, we call it. good news is that it is going to be a little troy over the next couple of days. however, the romal showers in the full cost and you can see fair amounts of cloud sharing up to we'll see ya. bye up in goal. they're pushing up towards the ganges. but the a heavier rain that is made its way a little further westward. so we are going to see further pockets of shabby, right?

we do have yellow warnings in forces, so we need to keep a watch on it. that does mean that we are still going to see some of these showers, this black line that i've shown on the chart here, that is the progressively southwesterly monsoon. so that's where the wet weather is coming through. you can see it makes its way up towards bangladesh. the far north east of india, and as you go on through the next couple of days, some of those heavy showers will tend to just ease away from bangladesh. course it is low lying, so they still lot of run off to come, where we do see those showers. it will exacerbate the problems that we do have in place. so pay me a shout. pushing up towards a sam stayed up towards that far northeast of india, then we'll see some wet weather also coming into a disha easing up towards so west bengal. as we go through the next couple of days, you can see those pockets of much heavier rain coming through as we go on into the next couple of days and what a rash of showers into central parts is pushing up towards at eastern side of india . but it is going to be that western side of india that sees the heaviest rainfall

as we go once through the next couple of days. and we have got orange one is in force across the western gas, you can see where to weather. never really too far away from those flood hit parts of bangladesh. and as we saw on the other pitches there, there are some spells of dry weather. the sun does come out, but we do still get plenty of showers. another area course it has been hit by some extensive heavy rainfall has been southern china, where we have seen big down pause coming through here. better news here as we go one through the next couple of days. it is going to be largely dry over the next day or 2. it does stay, essentially settled and sunny, but showers. they will make their way further north with heavier down poles coming in here, manning silverton. let's get more on the situation in china where monsoon reins, of course, severe flooding in the south of the country, half a 1000000 people have been affected by the storms that are the heaviest. in 60 years, 4 provinces have been impacted increase a moving people to higher ground. katrina,

the future. but at the same time, the climate models showed that the variability from year to year and also the variability within one season intensifies to as the rain moves northward. some counties have begun cleaning up emergency teams on moving debris and clearing blocked roads. but many areas, a still without electricity. last year, almost 400 people were killed in floods in central hun and province. the government was accused of being slow to respond to the so called once in a 1000 years down pole. and critics called for improvements to china's emergency warning systems. katrina, you al jazeera beijing. so hands on al jazeera is this of this is tragic charity. u. s. election officials reveal house support as a then president donald trump threatened them to. i've attend the results for 2020,

and egypt saw the movement as a threat to the balance of power in the region. a blockade of major church ally caught her by it's got neighbors in 2017 further pushed the 2 countries apart, but it was the killing of saudi jeanette as jamaica shook tea in the kingdoms consulate in a stumble in october, 2018. that firmly shut down their ties. at the time at one said the order to carry out their sis nation came from the highest level of saudi government. although he has never blamed the saudi companies directly. turkey also launched a case against want to see saudi suspects for the alice involvement in the killing . saudi arabia responded by boycott in turkish import, putting pressure on turkey's economy, butter last year. saudi arabia, united arab emirates, egypt, and bahrain lifted the embargo and cut out a way for anchorage to conciliation with the gulf states. over the past year, uncle has embarked on

seeking to acquire turkeys by dr. don't with game international claim off of the why spread us in libya, syria now go know, cut about and now you play the companies with it will signal whether these patients will be achieved this and said that i'll just 0 on israel government has held its 1st vote on the bill to dissolve parliament after only a year in office. it comes as members of the fractured coalition. government agreed . it could not survive the countries facing its 5th election in less than 4 years. let's go to find a smith, who joins us from west jerusalem and it was happening if it was only a, they've been in power for only a year. but in fact, that surprised many israelis that this coalition lasted as long as it did. but both natalie bennett, the prime minister and the law paid currently the foreign minister. they said they did everything, they could exhaust all options. the table is the coalition,

but they couldn't do it. so that happens 1st vote on a bill to dissolve parliament. actually, there are 11 bills in all and it all come together on monday, next monday when they're all voted on in the final readings and it's been the parliament will be dissolved. yeah. lockheed in a previous coalition agreement. he'll take over the prime minister, natalie bennett's will go into the 2nd re prime minister role is thought he might not run in the next election anyway. now netanyahu wants to become prime minister again, and the latest polls have been for polls in the last couple of days of all said that his coalition would get 59 of 120 seats up for grabs in the class it. so just shy of a majority, but still more for netanyahu is coalition than the outgoing parties. so the have to be some sort of way of trying to form some sort of functioning coalition. but parties from the right,

the center on the left of all bowed to try and keep netanyahu from returning to the job as prime minister. he's facing trial and corruption charges he denies. but it, how is this going down with people of israel? i mean, presumably they don't want another election well, it's a very divided country because we can see a very divided country from the fact that these elections are so inconclusive. even though this last coalition government survived a year and it was this very unusual coalition of fall last the right the far right liberals for the 1st time palestinian israelis on the arab lists were also involved in this government. it wasn't enough. i knew how netanyahu managed to maneuver to get this to collapse. this government's no most. he's really don't want another election but the but then most israelis seems to be willing to vote for one block

that could govern israel on a stable basis for more than the one year. it's hard and we could have the situation now for the next. next 6 months or so, whether that election after election until a stable coalition is full or into thing. thank you for that. bernard smith, that 1st and western a congressional panel in washington heard how state election officials were pressured by then president donald trump. to overturn the results of the 2020 election. it was the full hearing of the house committees investigation into last year attack on capitol hill. harvey jack cast report. this week before the january 6 riot at the u. s. capital far right protesters some who would later turn violent in washington illegally occupied the state capital building in arizona . joe biden, one swing state. but donald trump and his supporters refused to accept defeat.

trump's attorney rudy giuliani called arizona's republican house speaker, demanding help to overturn the results he would say aren't we all republicans here? i said look you are asking me to do something that is counter to my oath. trump also lost in the swing state of georgia. he him is called the states top election official republican brad reference burger. i just want to find out $11780.00 loves, which is one more that we have. what i knew is that we didn't have any votes to find very good. robins burger testified that he and his family suffered harassment from, from supporters, including sexually explicit messages to his wife and someone breaking in to his daughter in law's home. and i think sometimes moments required you to stand up and just take the shots. we just followed along, we followed the constitution and at the end of the day president trump came up

short. trump also turned up the pressure on to every day americans, mother and daughter election workers in georgia. falsely accusing them of counting fake ballots. we have at least $18000.00 that's on pay. we had them counted very take at least 18000 having to do with their roommate freeman that she is a vote. scammer of professional votes, scammer and hustler. do you know how it feels to have the president of the united states that target you the president of the united way it's supposed to rebel every american not to target one. but he targeted me an investigation has cleared both women of wrong doing and widespread voting fraud was never found in any state or democracy held because courageous people like those you heard from today,
