children have seen all this and become expert and military equipment let flew from where the children know all this and are not afraid. it's both good and horrible. and i rather sit through this war. why is there more? i do not understand anything back in 1945, it was clear now, i don't understand anything that you show or ukraine has accused the russian army of dropping phosphorus bombs on the black sea outpost of snake island. russia withdrew from the island on thursday, saying it was a goodwill gesture, help united nations establish a corridor to export grain from ukraine. we'll keep release this video showing what it says to bombing rights on the island. head of the grinding army says the jets to call from russian controlled crimea almost 5 months into the ukraine. will people across the country a morning? those killed in the fighting?

mcbride has more in this now from sol. since it's the largest demonstration staged by this trade union organization. since before the pandemic helping to swell the numbers has been a change in south korea's government to a conservative administration seen as pro business and not as friendly to workers. there's the possibility of increasing the number of hours in the working week for what trade unionists are faring the most is spiraling inflation. they say their wages can't keep pace with her. i don't, will not own. our biggest problem is inflation. i know it's a global issue and it's caused by war, but why should the consequences of it be passed all the way down to us workers and you know, minor dumping go far, extending the working hours doesn't make sense. even the current 42 hours that i work, there isn't enough time for my kids and my family life suffering. rising fuel costs lead to a national strike by truck drivers last month that cause supply chain disruption

affecting production in south korean factories. and rising prices are causing changes in people's everyday habits with more workers making do with convenient store meals for lunch. i knew the prices up my usual restaurant went up. so now i come here instead about 2 or 3 times a week, and there is more pain on the way for consumers and home buyers, employer commit, open real purchasing power, shrinking in the face of the us inflation. secondly, interest rates on the rise simultaneously, which is a burden for people paying off loans for the march and due to the offices of south korea as president. and the hopes this new administration will here work as grievances the worker said fame pushing for an increase in the minimum wage of nearly 20 percent. but after a lot of their c. h. about to settle for just 5 percent, which they are far from happy with on the government has been urging companies to limit wage rises across the board to curb inflation in south korea right now,

other organizations. and so it wasn't extremely emotional moment to know that this has been publicly in can i'll talk about it now as well. so yes, we are moving forward with this. there were over 900 delegates in the hall yesterday representing 41 different countries across africa. and their governments and their ministers were there and listening as well. so we believe this can definitely have an impact. now it's 4th of july holiday weekend in the united states and people on the move across the country and with the asians through still recovering from the pandemic. that's really putting the transport industry to the test. jillian wolf has more the 4th of july is one of the busiest holidays for air travel across the united states. from coast to coast, millions of americans will take to the skies in the next few days. and this year it's shaping up to be even busier as the asian sector slowly returns to what's

prevent demik levels. but it's the increasing cost of living that's got many people worried. i travel every weekend, but of course when inflation is kind of hard to do that, i had to get back to the family. i haven't seen him since credit. so it really wasn't a question we just had to do it. but we let me go white versus somehow that's it now. yet for some reaching their destination this weekend with their harder and tickets is proving more challenging. i was flying with delta and a cancel my flight as on board and a plan, a flight got canceled yesterday. so now we're hopscotch gene around to get home. we actually last night can suggest a day of he thrive. it cancelled 30 flights. we got a message from united, it goes to midnight, am with the city flight. i am in the morning. we were stranded to young children. what eating the issue, bad weather air traffic delays and stopping shortages. and it's not just in the u. s. airports across europe and the u. k. are struggling to readjust offer. many

workers left her jobs during the pandemic. and many more went on strike in response to the soaring cost of living. some countries like germany have launched schemes to bring in temporary foreign workers. peter, this morning was an absolute mess. we were at the we were told to arrive 5 hours before the flight to make sure that we got on our flight. and we were just keeping the desk when open. we would just keeping the key to outside is horrendous. then back in the us with thousands of fly cancellations and delays. some airlines are giving out bonuses for flight attendance to ramp up staffing. others are offering pilots, triple pay to pick up extra trips. and for those left stranded, they waivers to change your tickets for free. for those who prefer to skip the airport during this busy holiday, driving to their destination seems to be a good option. but with some of the highest gas prices on record, that may also prove costly, chilling wolf,

al jazeera yes, they trip as to venice, i'm going to be charged to visit the italian, said he from january onwards. terrace, he choose not to say of and i will have to register online and pay a daily fee from $3.00 to $10.00. the city councilor said at the move aims to balance the needs of the locals. the terrorist and the day trippers visitors court, china dodge the fuel risk a fine of more than $300.00 in the crowded towns of occupied east jerusalem is difficult for many palestinians to create green environments. but one community project that's training policy, women to keep these is bringing color to some urban areas on it's with explains ah, these are perhaps the only new homes that have been allowed to proliferate in occupied east jerusalem without the risk of israel pulling them down. yeah, natalia,

and this is one living organism, just allow castaneda and hey, where am the co de la la be keeping in a community project that provides palestinian women with jobs and income 75 percent of the women in east jerusalem are formerly employed off didn't as the call form an issue this morning. a lot of people are afraid of b is, but for me, those even a verse and the koran about b as they are blessedly when you study them and discover their organisation, their system. it's perfect butter. the bees need plumps to the project is also bringing greenery to the densely packed streets of east jerusalem. the mean important challenge is that we're missing our land. we don't have lands and the roofs, it might be the solution to fill the gap of the lack of public open spaces in occupied east jerusalem. the israeli authorities only permit palestinians to build on 17 percent of the land. so there's no room for green open spaces. introducing

b hives encourages people to provide plants and bushes for the bees and whatever small space they have. now in this project started in 2019. they trained on 15 women as beekeepers, but it's become so popular that by 2024 they'll be 550 women making use of the terraces and rooftops of occupied east jerusalem as holmes. the small behind the honey is harvested only twice a year. and these urban bees pollinating plants, much less likely to have been treated with herbicides than those around royal fowls . i am the new man. i've got used to them. i'm not afraid of them. i even feel this chemistry between us, hey, dry and sell a women's co operative is selling next year, harvest through crowd funding so they can buy more hives to cope with demand. 3 years ago, bees produced 85 kilos of honey. this.
