the canyon presidential election is nearing its final lap and while checking on the last campaigning push in egypt along abdul l fattah has spent the best part of 2 decades imprison west speak about the efforts being made to free him. but 1st, we start in ukraine, which has been almost a $150.00 days since the war began. fighting rages in the east peace talks continued to hit huddles. and the global rang shortage caused by the war continues . but it's civilians who are paying the highest price, his jo, english from unicef. this situation, my tuition upon the so far to buy the conference from ukraine continues to be 3 desperate and children are paying. i have a fair price for the fighting. almost 350 children have now lost their lives almost 550 of have been injured in the fighting. and these are just the numbers that you and has been able to verify. so we know the true tal is likely to be fall higher

and while sufficing has been concentrated in the east for much of the last few weeks, just this week we saw an attack in the center of the country. take the life of for you. i would say truly, it feels like you know, where is safe for children for families in ukraine at the moment. and so we continue to call for sci fi, because ultimately in our until that happens, we will continue to see children lose their lives day off. today. last week, the international criminal court corps for an overarching strategy to bring perpetrators of war crimes and ukraine to justice and representative from delta of countries have pledged to cooperate. and as a global food crisis continues, officials from russia and ukraine are expected to discuss resuming cubes. exports dozens of ships to australia and 20000000 tons of grain off stock. so much to discuss with us. we have catalina, umbrella, fever. she is a journalist in give catherine to thank you so much for joining us. jo. english,

they were saying no way is safe as a journalist. how would you report that story? that fence that ukraine is under attack and has been under attack for a $150.00 days? well, i agree with him and to 1st of 1st and foremost, i'm not a journalist, i'm a human being. and i'm also scared of the of the ongoing war because i've been covering the war in ukraine for the past 8 years. and i also covered another conflict, but some times when i think about the horrors of the recent weeks when residential evidence targeted by the cruise missiles or collie. but a launched from the from the sheep's. it is carried to get to sleep sometimes at night, or wake up because you don't know, it feels it feel unsafe everywhere in ukraine. so you can't find a safe haven anyway. and ukraine at the moment. i want to bring in some voice, he's a civilian to happen under attack on to one of the worst areas that been attacked

recently in ukraine. hear their voices and then caterina. and let's talk about the people who decide to stay in a conflict country here. the civilians, 1st of all yes, children you to live their lives. the youth's 1920 year olds are made into cripples . they kill children to take away our children. how is this possible? a woman has been killed. she ran out of the house when she was head alone with her husband. he was killed to the man from the flight. just bear was killed. 23 people lost their lives. why? what for? because put in went mad a year. no more for ye came almost all plaited military objects. are we talking about destroyed houses. schools damaged kindergartens. are these military objects? these are all civilian objects. today, there are many families that lost ruse over their heads. they have no apartments. no houses. people have worked all their lives to create normal conditions to live

in here, birchum, sorta jar from when, you know, when the time i attended school, i was not a big fan of it. but now that i have seen what happened, i ask why the kids, when the war is over, where are they gonna learn domco label, doseover. so there is a can she's having a good day. you to cheat caterina from your reporting when you thing talking to somebody else and telling the 70 story. what would you like to share with us? well, i speak to people in different areas of ukraine, but i would like to stress from people who stay in the boss where the severe bottles ongoing right now is 2 people been believed for the past 8 years. the family was sleep and also, you know, when you talk to people about why they're staying, why they're not leaving. quite often, this is the situation connected to the financial financial situation and occasionally with political inclinations. because a lot, there is

a number of people in the bus who never felt, never though, you know, never felt a part of ukraine. and oh, because of the you, the language they speak because the russian language. so i'm talking about the elderly people because staying there. so unfortunately, this is a situation we see a huge number of refugees, ukraine and refugees in europe. but even those they're coming back to ukraine because of the financial issues too. and they have to be funded. you know, shelling conference for the, for their lives. i want to go to youtube because some of our view is wanting to talk to you and, and, and all the questions. this one is from unique views watching right now. thank you . this war must stop. the week belongs to the world, or the trading partners, and not to a single country. for trade agreements, we need at least 2 parties. this wind is urgently needed. what can you tell us

about the grain? the way that he's been trying to get out of ukraine into the rest of the world. how is that going? well, actually not to part is for now, and for part is for beaman bolton's discussion and hopefully this week in english and will be signed to named this party. there are ukraine, russia, turkey, m d, u m. last week's of a discussion talks about the decision that have been made about the export, the wheat of the green. the stock right now in ukrainian storage is more than 22000000 grain is talking to cranium, storage and can a big sports breakdown. so we hope that on the 20 for 20, for the, the actually, the agreement will decide between these 4 parties. but the biggest problem is, of course, we understand that ukraine is their world food basket. and you can import for just

is a gate of ukraine and exports just to say that ukraine is in a good cultural country and but, but we provide enough grain for the, for the green and for the local population who is suffering the most are the is the world, so example, if we produce an early 100000000 tons of grain, you just need 2020 grains. so we produce $45.00 times. then we need to actually let me just bring in the european union foreign policy chief bought l. who said this just a little bit earlier today, listen the most, what is something is due to lack of foot in many countries around the world. and it is not for it because of russia is blocking the export of opinion grain. we are

doing whatever we can, you know that the sport is grained through other ways for this order today delays to the black c terminal manual very yet, but that's not enough. so i hope you have a hope that the this week it will be possible to region. nobody mental the block or vista. and although you cranium ports, katherine, i'm going to show you one more fought for youtube. this one comes from water hughes . hello water. water says it is already world war 3. it's not just being waged on the battlefield, but or over the world, almost every human being affected by this war. that is how water describes it as we wrap up our conversation today. katerina, how would you describe the war in ukraine? it is. it is scary to put it in one word because i've never seen anything like this before. we listen to situational uncertainty,

we're worried about our families. we're worried about the outcome of the war. we are deeply affected already. we have numerous of casualties among the city and population. and among the soldiers, the, the population is traumatized because we have to work. we have to be every one need to accelerate to basically to put an end to this chart. but it is scary. scary. thank you so much. katarina for shang, with a show reporting in ukraine. and we appreciate you would come back to you in the future. now we had to kenya where some are skeptical that the upcoming presidential election will have any real sustainable change in the country. asking a pass for the next general election in august 9th, 2022. we see the rise of misinformation this information in fake news. eyes mission

of should be good platforms been sent by different political entities and media that has been accused by different political court as of being biased and the rise of opinion polls that are trying to ship a political conversation on who is the most popular candidate and hawkins are likely to vote. unfortunately, we still struggling with the question of apathy, as most tampa did not show up or time out to read this as voters. but also we the tough economy times that are making it had for especially young people to be invested in the political conversations that are happening with us. now a political commentator patrick afar of patrick, welcome back to the street. we always love having you on. all right, say is kenya shoving, having a voting fee there, or is it more of a mileage code? what, where are we with the selection was the major, like i think most of the females definitely on

now i was on a month ago like a wild to sort of a catch on. and i think this election has been diff from previous ones. i'm in the sense that there hasn't been as much investment i'mma in participation in it. you know, especially amongst the use of a lot of them will be what we're really hot will be push to register. what in previous elections, you know, you dumb blonde, you guys trying to get on it? you see, ah, i think though, in the last one month we've seen much more engagement, especially after running mutual or, or peak out. so i'm, there's much more excitement now than there was before. i want to play out a little bit of a martha corolla before i do that. she is a running as a v p. for why did i, can you just set up who she is?

what she stands for before we hear from mother herself. well, my worker is, i'm running. i'm in for the pleasure of that. and i'm, and as me or coalition unloading her mama, she has been sort of in the trenches for our reform for a long time. i'm or somebody who's really well known for taking top stances armor have had a fair share of her scandal, and i also owed say, i disaffected natalie ration i am out of bad behavior, my politician. so she's not exactly mrs clinton. oh, okay. but i actually called earlier, i couldn't pull it. i like the way that you're very cautiously approaching. describing martha cure as background in politics. let's hear from her as

a corruption is talking initially we need to lease the resources available, both financial in other ways to meet the needs of the pi. i am wondering about other candidates. it looks like patrick that there were some candidates your rank just on one issue, not how do we improve kenya, but how do we improve one thing about kenya that phil was new to me is it needs he, patrick, it is neil and athletes. do that kinda encouraging to me, i've got to say, ah, for a long time my election i've been run essentially as an ethnic census in every guy tries to come to good to bring. he thought of what he blocked of a he's is he is drabs, middle, his ethnic mates. ah,

who vote for him. but this election has been different. a lot of it has been actually i get on the bases so far, particular issues, you know, are my and even if you speak about kind of like the french candidate, somebody like prefers, like where i'm all, i'm in the who's made or one of these blanks the nicholas ational marijuana, and other than my one a trade in. i mean that's, that's a great thing. i think it's, it's, it's good that he bought a talking about issues or talking just about a message in or am i look at what i'll william rudolph standing against. ah, re, lays delaney also, he has made this campaign more about mom. what he calls hastily was his dentist in ohio, and that's great. it also the father, we get away from this sort of identification waves ethnic communities to actually discuss the problems that kenyans have. for me that would always be a good thing. i need to, we have nasty at adam, i hope i,

the king and this election might repeat itself as it did in 2007. that's calling way back. that's over a decade. has a long time. yes it is. is and i think m m in the law is the question of whether they're going to be balanced, nor do we do, to be honest. it is a fair question because we've never had elections. i don't have at least some level about this. and i had asked and to body it, but i think this one want is unlikely to have significant valez for the simple reason. if you look at history, our most of our wireless has happened when incumbents are running our marcella. they took about 2007 when i present to michael running for reelection, you know, or ah, 2017. when pressik natalie running for the electrons. those have been fairly violent or elections. but there was in between that when you don't have an

incumbent une, have been a remarkably less val. and so, and i think way nasty dish. now mama, brazil yet obviously retiring or so he's all going to be running again. and i think he is just probably looking at repeated saw the 2nd thing reason why i don't think there's going to be balance best if i to live, come along with establishing institutions. we're dealing with electro conflict harm in 2007. we really didn't have a corporate, anybody could trust, which is part of the reason why the poor thought decided to be settled out on the street. noble. i'm says 2030 introduce of renting or seen court cases or amanda. the election being challenged are the supreme court in 2017 alma it was actually annulled little and i think that has actually sort of given lots of. busy confidence to people that if there is a dispute and i have no doubt that there will be

a dispute after the election to look at what are the campaigns are saying they already setting it up. okay. i think one of the a challenge hagin i'm i, i love that, lia, ending on a positive note, which is not always the case when we talked to you on the screen. but i like that. i think we should get out while you're still fairly optimistic. patrick, thank you, appreciate it now, or we go from kenya to egypt and the case of allah ad l factor, who is one or thousands of political prisoners facing brutal conditions, an overcrowded sales have a look at this case for my colleagues at listening past with a law abdel factor is just one of an estimated 65000 political prisoners in egypt. having spent most of the decade since the arab spring behind bars. he is now more than 3 months into a hunger strike. it could take what is left of his life. his is

a voice, the egyptian authorities clearly want a, sorry, little forgot the minimum. so doesn't look like a minimum cost from $7000000.00 of to eliminate them as sick 1000000 to sod live. oh mon, i thought it is heartbreaking to hear that from your brother. like we're not going to win, we may not win, but we still have to fight. mona safe is, alas, sister, she joins us now live on the stream and has sang balmy, who's in egypt and libya researcher amnesty international. thank you both for joining us. when you hear your, but i know you've seen that before, that clip mona, when you, he, him say that. does that really some of your situation as a family member trying to get him out of prison in agent? yes. oh, it does. some of the situation, actually, the, the clip pitney

a bit hard because when you know the context, as when it gives you a glimpse into our story as a family. this was in september 2014. when i was brief here released from prison and a month after my father passed away, and this was in a memorial service for my father. his name was a human rights lawyer and less than a month later and it was back to prison again. so it was just a brief few weeks in which he was out and he had a chance to talk to the people and to share this particular statement, which is very powerful and it's how you function. so we don't know if he'll ever be victorious. we don't know if can ever be able to, you know, stop humanise violations in egypt and hold everyone who's committed them accountable to what they did. but we have to be constantly victorious just to being right to the truth and doing our best to it is saying, can you be super handed hair about why is ally in a prison in egypt right now?

why is he locked up? quite simply because allah is a prisoner of conscious he is in prison, to quote simply because of his critical beliefs he is imprisoned because he dare to believe for a democratic egypt is imprisoned because you have been the voice of some ones that was a died been tortured and died in prison before this is not an or assessment even this is a court to document that convicted him solely on the basis of tweets where he defended so right off a man's a thought in a prison. the same prisons that he was initially imprisoned. mona, what do you do when you're facing a force and a, a justice system, right? egypt where so thousands of people are prisoners of conscience, their political prisoners, their opponents. how do you get your loved one out of that situation?

this the thing is because it's not just on it because it's thousands of people out there. thousands of people locked in at the for the he's present it. you realize that your journey is a collective one that you need to work on a more collective pressure and, and, and documenting and speaking about what's happening. business was happening to thousands of political prisoners and, and, and you need to make people, everyone aware that the alley is a little mistake. i'll is a known activist. he has always been targeted by different entropy, genes. he has been in prison for the past 4 with the majority of the past 8 years. so since the fact that he came to power and the fact that he's been exposed to torture, the fact that he has been deprived of basic christ like use papers reading for more than 2 years. a lot of time correspondence with the family time out and even a fair trial he has been sentenced in front of the emergency court. we didn't have

to try and we didn't have access to the files. so all of these things give you a glimpse into the reality of what other thousands of people are enduring in egypt and their families. ready because if this is happening to alan, who is a very well known activist with support and with the families, you know what clothes and worse is happening. you know what? i'm wondering. i'm wondering what you tell your nephew a little boy 10 i believe. what do you tell him your nephew about his dad? it's very difficult and it's very difficult because k linda just turn 10 lost here . we don't understand how much he understands of the whole situation. we do know for sure that it hit him very hard when i was released in march 2019 and handed was excited to welcome and got it back into his life. they were going to swimming lessons to go there. that every. yeah. then you know,

6 months later taking weight on him and he got thrown into the worst condition ever so the, that las conditions his prison are actually making it, making us unable to dig haley to visitors. we hadn't seen her for over a year now. so it's laid off, it's very tough to maintain this and actually i'm glad you asked me about that because this is precisely what draw violet to. so the hunger strike in april 2nd because he was feeling like his boy is going to become a teen eater soon. end without his father and he was just to fed up with talk, you know, tolerating this kind of abuse and, and, and, and being deprived of his life. and so he went on hunger strike to, to either to put an end to this. so i let me go out and the others. ok, let me just ask her saying as i knew were at the very last moment of asha will a hunger strike, push egypt to release. allah, look, i i, it's very simple here. lick allows detention is in violation. of international law,

even violates egyptian law, either should not be imprisoned to just legs at tens of thousands of political prisoners in egypt are imprisoned simply for a demon of a bitter egypt. the president, the prisoner of the 5th there has city has the power to release all our before. there are by european law biases, loans did for emergency on those constitution was assembled. i've been by, i'm pharaoh. so he should release him and i must be released. i didn't know anything like and a little they're thanking so much. we do appreciate and joining us a mona as well. and to watching everybody i see next time ah ah
