ah ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero? ah,

this is al jazeera ah. hello sir. hello robin. you're watching the out there and these are life or my headquarters here in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukrainian forces step up a counter offense over the south to retake the city of cash on tensions about taiwan in a to our call between the us and chinese leaders. changing ping tells joe biden not to play with fire. also the well bang says no new financing for sri lanka until the economy has stabilized. and the democratic republic of congo auctions, oil and gas permits, and the world's largest topical peak plans. climate activists call it a catastrophe. i'm devin ashwin sports. as donald trump defense hasting the saudi arabia banks live golf series protests, the planned by 911 families is the tournaments he's off for the for my us

presidents, cough in new jersey. ah, welcome to the news. our ukrainian forces say that troops on the front line are stepping up a counter offensive in cash on. the southern region fell to russia in the early days of the war, but ukraine wants to recapture it. a strategic bridge is now out of action after ukrainian forces hit it with long range rockets. keith says it targeted 5 russian strong holes around the city on thursday. another 3 bridges across denise, pro river, have been damaged in recent weeks, making it harder for russia to supply its forces. john hendern is in the ports that he would desa with more on the situation in question, in hearse. and that counter offensive is gaining strength. that is a, according to british intelligence. you did have that bridge strike that was designed to cut the city off and isolate russian troops in that area. and we've

heard below moore's electric ukrainian president say that it was a main goal for the ukranian army to take back harrison. that was a strategic point from which the russian military has been launching many of its operations. so the idea of isolating it is strategic in order to try to retain or to gain back bits of that area. and there have been members of the underground also active there were told by ukrainian officials that a russian police officer was killed. that is part of an effort the russians have made in these towns and they've taken to sort of ratify the issue, russian ideas. they been the trading of the currency here in ukraine, the river, and require people to use roubles in the don best region in eastern ukraine. ukrainian officials have warned residence to leave. they say, if they don't leave, they risk having power, water, food, medicine, heat and communications cut off. and we also learned

a little more about what happened at a hotel in back moot in eastern ukraine. we, there was a strike on that hotel according to ukrainian officials. that was a russian strike earlier. we reported that there was one dad, that number his now increased to for the jeff edmonds as a senior. and let's focusing on russian military policy at c and a non profit research and analysis organization. he says, ukraine's counter offensive comes as a difficult time for russia. i think right now we're a very interesting part of this conflict wherein ukrainian forces might be in a position to actually retake territory that they lost the south. i think the russians are worried about that and the russians have a difficult operational decision ahead of them. how much they pull from the east, where they're really trying to make more progress, you know, reinforced the south so they don't lose territory. and, you know, don't boss. i think story means the russian priority, whereas the south remains ukraine's prairie. so both sides have have rather

challenging operational decision to make us to where they deploy their forces. i think they're very optimistic and i would say analysts in the west are also not dismissive of the fact that that you might be able to do this really depends on 2 weaknesses in the russian military, one of logistics, the russians have been horrible. and just at the beginning and these new long range artillery systems are only exacerbating that problem. and 2nd, as the russians have a severe man, parent equipment problem, that's not easy to fix. i wouldn't just miss the idea that the russian military is getting to a point where it's exhausted. that's us. i mean, most of those categories were actually lost in the 1st several weeks. and that staggering, that's not something you quickly recover from. even if russia were to declare some national mobilization or something like that, this isn't something you fix quickly. i think the craniums are going to be in a position before the russians can fix the problem. they'll actually be in a position to take some territory back. you can minister of infrastructure hers and as the 1st shipments of grey next folks will be dispatched shortly, it comes after

a joint coordination center to monitor those exports open to the stumble on wednesday. that was part of a deal. keith and moscow signed last week. i was there a correspondent to me on some days in the port city of china mosque with more katelyn, alec, a lot, a lot of south 80 was that there was a press conference by the minister of infrastructure and several western ambassadors here, the ukrainian minister of infrastructure confirmed that the silos are being prepared to fill the 17 ships with ukrainian grains. he also said the ships have been here since the beginning of the russian war on ukraine. and he expected that the 1st ships will dispatch towards turkish international waters and to the international markets later this week, without giving a specific date, these ships will sail as soon as possible. regarding the developments in the black sea, he said that the only guarantee for this agreement would be from the turkish side. he added that the ukrainian military here will retaliate. should the ships be threatened at any point during the process? the ukrainian minister of infrastructure also said that this agreement should continue and that the port is ready for the ships to sail from china. moscow. port,

one of odessa is biggest ports. there's also usually port that is being prepared. these are quick developments. the ukranian military said they have secured the maritime water routes for the ships to dispatch the. now, the germans that have hanover is going to turn of hot water in municipal buildings to save energy. public places like jims and swimming pools will only provide cold water. the hand washing and showers, it's the latest german city to introduce measures the head of the winter. after russia dramatically reduced gas supplies, many cities including the capital berlin, and switched off lights and government buildings and turned off fountains. that's at the very latest from step vast to new jersey now from bad. and it does seem that germany, in all its areas is making contingency plans. well, absolutely. it will definitely become a bit darker and colder in some places. here in germany, as you sat more than 200 buildings, public building here in berlin will go darker for the next coming weeks,

at least safe and cheap. and not only that, it is also a to show people here in germany as a symbol of how to save energy, because not only the government this urge to save energy but the public as well. but some buildings like the nice stock here behind me are an exception. there will still be lights on and of course also 3 lights will have to be on because of safety measures. but this is one bit appeal, of course, that the germans, i know, have to swallow because of their dependency on russian gas and oil for the energy supply. and this is also a result of a meeting house in brussels by the e. u in which decision was taken to voluntarily cut and achieved by 15 percent over the coming month to basically anticipate last gas even coming from russia for

the next winter. on wednesday. gus form has already also decreased gas supplies to germany again from north frame one, which is one of the major suppliers of gas to europe is around 30 percent of all the supply coming from north stream one. and it's now reduced to only one 5th of the normal supply. so there's a lot of worry for us at, for the coming winter. the storage facilities that europe in countries, including so many you won't be full to actually make everyone comfortable and warm . so as you said, there's going to be less heating also in hannover, in the city where the public facilities won't have any warm war. but also housing companies have already announced that they will lower the temperature of heating in houses already to anticipate for this cold winter to come the vessel force and balance. thanks for the update. now you as president joe barton and chinese present changing things. they for 2 hours on thursday, they want to be described as

a 10th phone gold presence. she has worn by not to play with fire with regards to tie one us on. speaker, nancy pelosi is reportedly planning to visit the island which basing regard as part of its territory. the us president raised allegations of genocide and false labor of weakness didn't by not report to have discussed removing us terrorists on chinese goods. but he has accused beijing of unfair trade practices that home american workers trying to base german patrick bulk explains the latest reaction from beijing on that call. or the foreign ministry, more or less echoed what presents she had to say to present by the non the topic of taiwan in their conversation. which was essentially that beijing was resolutely opposed to what it sees as an external interference. and those who played with fire would get burnt. one of the interesting questions that was posed to the farm and she spokesperson, jerry jan today though, was whether or not china would continue to engage with the u. s. in these dialogues,

if nancy pelosi visit to taiwan does indeed go ahead to lunch in t, china has repeatedly made it clear to the u. s. s. serious concern of speaker policies potential visit to taiwan at our firm opposition to the visit. hey, listen, if the u. s. i challenge is our reply, it will be confronted with counter measures or possible consequences that may arise from this will be borne by the us side. now he said that the 2 lead as a degree to stay in touch, but he didn't really elaborate on whether or not this might be impacted by that potential visit by the u. s. has speaker beijing has wound previously a possible cancer measures. if the visit does go ahead, we don't know whether it might be a diplomatic response or military response, but certainly it would be seen as a significant set back if the 2 leaders were to stop talking to one another as they have been since president biden came to office these at sessions where they've come together and discuss that differences if you like. have been key really to stopping

this relationship from going off the rails. and as a matter of fact, reports have said bits of the to did as told their aids, to organize an in person meeting the next time rounds, or they speak with one of our oh kelly as a professor of political science and diplomacy at the tucson national university in south korea josefina from columbus, ohio via skype. good. have you the sir on the program? i mean how much you might say concern or indifference is there to this latest diplomatic spat between the us and china within taipei. professor kelly can hear me. we seem to have lost connection with dr. kelly. we will of course, try and get back to him shortly. let's move on because there's still a lot more here. all the news are including,

while there's tension that the un security council about who should lead its diplomatic efforts in libya. also, we report from the italian island of lam produce, which is overwhelmed by a surge and migrant and refugees. and it's for the, for me to one paragraph, so the time it's a full time world champion. so that's the battle. ah, the robot says it when cancer lanka, financial assistance into that puts economic reforms in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 2019 through 9 because new president vanilla. we claim a singer has promised to get the economy back on track to protest. forced his predecessor to resign, been often and us so correspondent, following of in force from the capital colombo. now it's not good news for the administration until they are told to get the house in order,

but you need money for some of that change that you and to get your house in order . absolutely. and the government over on her vicar, missing her, is at pains to show that they have begun to rest to order. they have managed to resto supplies of fuel, of gas and things like that. but there are obviously issues because while there are some shipments that have arrived or you know, there are still many questions as to what the government is going to do when these particular stocks run out. now obviously for the world bank, what they have been saying is that they're not going to provide any new funding, any lawns, or any bridging finance to show lanka. up until such time that all of those macro economic fundamentals are put in order. that means a lot of economic and structural reform and also going to the heart of what created

this economic crisis for sri lanka. going to the heart of that and setting it right to make sure that it does not happen again. what the world bank has done is basically provide $160000000.00 since april this year. ah, basically what it is. it already approved financing for other projects, but they have agreed with the government to reaper for some of these funds to ensure that they can channel it into food. meds in fuel and gas supplies obviously are to help shall uncle in the short term, but nothing new. and that is somewhat the sort of common grounds for most of the lenders and the international community. they want to see a proper roadmap that re lanka will come, you know, come up with and put together to ensure that any new finances don't just patch the situation. that sri lanka actually sets her house in order or mean,

of course her people continue to protest or been safe to do so sort of knowing that the authorities have acted quite severely in the recent past. well that has had actually a rather chilling effect on the protests. in fact, earlier today we did see a significantly smaller group of people coming together. this were a civil society. these were human rights activist. people are who have been speaking about rights for a long, long time, a but in terms of those huge numbers of young people of protest says they've just taken a backseat to watch and see. because right after that violent crack down the night of the following run over, grimacing has swearing in as president of this country are. you saw a massive military and police crackdown and after that the government has gone on. some people call it a witch hunt, but basically it's definitely a crackdown where you have a one protest her who has literally plucked off

a plane after a massive sand off with the criminal investigation department officers who came to take him away. the passengers in the plane protested, and he took quite a while before the actually brought and showed him an arrest warrant. oh, there was another protest leader who was taken off a bus bundled into a g p, a blue collar police g r, and went missing for something like 6 or 7 hours. his lawyers, human rights activists, no one knew his whereabouts until towards the end of the day when the police admitted that he was in custody. there is also a sort of speculation that there are a, there is a list of, of, you know, different people say different things. 3550 a 100. are people that were sort of leading figures of that protest against a government that the government intends to go after them. there was a one, a gentleman who was in video counting something like 17000000 rupees at the

president's house. they actually went and handed that money over to the closest police station, but now the police has essentially arrested him on the grounds that he had something to do with damage to the property he has since been bill. so all of these reasons have put up some sort of chilling stops if you like on the protesters in terms of how they will go. but overall they have said that they are not going to back down. that the reason that this struggle of theirs that started under the gotta go home campaign. and that saw the end of the tenure of prison got arbitrage boxer, will continue there. just shift to ensure that their seed, the exit of run has become missing her. because they say he does not have credibility that he had lost the confidence of the people, and that's where he was voted out of parliament. that he has no right to ascend to the highest office of this land without flanders in colombo. thanks very much will with her return to the story that we were rudely interrupted about just

a few moments ago and that phone call between the u. s. president joe biden, and the chinese present teaching thing. joining me again is robert kelly. he is a professor of political science diplomacy, pusan national university in south gravity, joins me. vice going from columbus in ho higher. professor kelly, always nice to have you on the program. i mean, how much concern or indifference is there now to this sort of diplomatic argument between the us and china, from taiwan? yeah, i think taiwan has really grown insignificant in the final years relationship in the last few years. president, gene paying of china is now looking to stay in power in the fall in the 3rd term. and he's really sort of campaign which is fairly unprecedented in china. and he's, but he's campaigned on nationalism for this and reification, taiwan. i think there's sort of a sense out there that this is become sort of the mission of his presidency that he needs to do this before he passed away. and on the other hand, on the american side, joseph biden has been less than big us about the american security commitment to

taiwan as president. in the past, your viewers will probably recall that the us is maintain, were called strategic ambiguity. there was just kind of here there, let's dance around the issue of taiwanese independence and things like that and others. but there's been a hawkish turn in the united states on china in the last few years that began under trumping continued into without bio ministration. and that included, you know, more over statements about us willingness to defend. i want so chinese new states are kind of going in different directions on taiwan that, that the relationship is, are fragmented over this issue. and then i think that's why you're getting such a boy responded, i was just taiwan. feel like it's sort of a ping pong ball in between 2 baths. yeah, i think so, but to be fair to the taiwanese, they don't actually want independence. i mean, to actually look at pulling one, i mean, most tight havanese actually realized what would happen if they actually made some kind of real effort at a breach with china. and obviously that line the time they're going to live the united states and they want american protection and weapons so they can resist any kind of chinese incursions. but i think that's how he's actually well served by the

policy strategic ambiguity. and broadly, like i said, i mean to actually look at the polling realizes and not actual, and the number of people actually want to open declaration of independence is quite low. so the status quo actually works pretty well. but i want, i radically, i said, but it's more like the chinese americans don't. why can't look cool. you know, china was it says that this potential visit by nancy pelosi, she is expected to visit a whole range of countries in asia pacific. so this would have just been one step on that particular journey. that message has been given very clearly to the president. now the united states, how do you think the u. s. is going to respond to this? well 1st of all, because it doesn't say democracy administration can actually sort of wake forest, nancy pelosi not to go off of their inside the same party and there's election coming up. i would be surprised that this were actually some breakout and become like a major political controversy. united states speaker blows he's been in this business for many years. i assume she had a sense that this were actually provoke a chinese response. as my sense of that you will go,

the real question i think been, is, what would the chinese do, right? or the chinese or actually threaten to take some kind of direct action on this was suggesting maybe like harass or plane or something like that. but that would be a major major step up by the chinese, and i wonder if they really want that. i mean, we know that they use or want to bully taiwan. but, you know, the more trying to believe that one, the more send signals to countries around trying to like south korea vietnam in australia, the sort of small countries near trying to worry about chinese bullying. so i wonder if it's worth trying to provoke a real controversy over this trip, because it doesn't actually change very much in a relationship, or that may have big signals to watch it, to the local countries near trying to that worry about chinese over reaction and, and excessive response. be interesting times any, and that's couple of weeks for the robert kelly. thanks so much for joining us from columbus. thanks for having the french present. manuel macro has met saudi crown. prince. mom had been sick man at the lisa palace, friends and other european countries are trying to secure alternative sources of energy to reduce that dependence on russian oil and gas. it's been so mounds at 1st

official visit to the ease since janice, come on, jamal shoji was murdered. these are the consulate office in a stumble in 2018. the un security council is deadlocked on who should lead its diplomatic efforts and libya. the current special advisor stephanie williams as scheduled to leave her post at the end of the month, shifting government alliances in libya have sparked renewed violence. our diplomat together to james bays, reports are from un headquarters in new york. for the 5th time in a row for you ends, mission in libya and smell has been extended by just 3 months to 3 african members of the security council was so angry that in protest they abstained during the vote . it's not the only blow to the u. n. in libya. stephanie williams, who's been leading the un mission is finally stepping down. back in 2020, she secured an agreement between the parties to have elections,

elections that had never taken place. she's wanted to step down from her post for months, but has been persuaded to stay by the un secretary general. i want to thank her for her extraordinary efforts to broker an agreement on the constitutional framework for elections. we wish her well in her future endeavors and call on the leaders of the house of representatives and the high state council to work constructively toward a goal toward the goal. miss williams sought to advance and we support the efforts of the secretariat and council members in their discussions to find a new candidate some one who can effectively lead and smell and facilitate the necessary dialogue among libby and leaders to order persistent piece. months ago, the un secretary general has identified the person he wanted to take over the un mission in libya, and that was sabri. booker doom, the former algerian foreign minister. but his appointment was blocked by one member

of the security council. the united arab emirates, italy is scrambling to relocate 1000 refugees and migrants on the mediterranean island of land, producer after a surgeon arrivals overcrowding up the reception center. as adding to the trauma, people have been through us in tuscan m ripples. they survived the perils of the mediterranean, but once they reached the shores of lampa, do so many migrants refugees at asylum seekers. c, a. europe, that isn't quite what they'd imagined. oh, this is the welcome center. in recent days it's reached more than 6 times its capacity. people sleep on the ground surrounded by human waste and garbage. there are no showers. the stench is overpowering. it's not very there to on very, very, very silva. it's taken this syrian refugee 3 years to reach europe. he paid

a smuggler $3500.00 for a boat ride to lap a do so one of the closest european destinations on the route from north africa. i was leaving but my back broke him. i have to go to bill before the recent wave of arrivals, the government says more than $34000.00 asylum seekers had reached italy this year . in the last 10 days, hundreds of migrants have been arriving daily. the authorities can't keep pace any diane runtime, him and dent that may go down. this is not a migrant emergency. usually welcome to 100000 ukrainians and we didn't have an emergency. why don't we treating these people in a humane way? save the children says there are 300 minors in the center. many are alone. he said

now the heart of europe's turn rather clarity again. this cloud isn't do sing very much in the way rain will thunderstorms, but it's clear that for some reason is coming up against this area of high pressure to settle. still giving dry weather poland declared a drought. and that's a fairly common theme. i've said around this hot start to some of this looks look, things have cool down the blue represents rain. there's plenty of light is shower that running through the heart. if you're not getting that far south, it's still remaining hot a long way. so this is significant, right on its way through poland. so probably welcome. but look at the drop in temperature. zach goes through warsaw down to 16 degrees as pretty cold. really. this is on sunday. so this part of europe is seeing some welcome right and dropping down in temperature, further west, sort of the opposite with the exception of maybe the british isles. good part of frowns is warming up again if you pick up the forecasts they forecast for example,

paris is got up to 30 that we take you to next week 303335 starter, rec, open well above the average. so the western heat wave is rebuilding in africa. we have seen some significant flooding for very active bunches of thunderstorms, running from the ethiopian highlands, slowly westwards. during friday, that's likely to be the case, i think in molly and us treat more so on saturday. ah, under cover reporting, i mean, you know what 1000000 do, doug could finance whole election revealing corruption. i see the. busy book exposing criminals, he was l. s. g, a dedicated unit for investigative journalism. how much will we have to pay for the girls? it is moment i slavery, exclusive stories, explosive results,

al jazeera investigations. when the news breaks, people having to my home breaking decisions on whether to leave behind their homes and loved ones. when people need to be heard. and the story told that is a leaving the home. we hope to return one day with exclusive interviews and in depth reports, al jazeera has teens on the ground. president byron need to contain fuel prices. one way to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied nice. oh, a welcome back. you're watching the news with me, the hill, rob,

the reminder of auto stories. you says it's ready to dispatch the 1st shipments of grain, but it's waiting for the go ahead from the un in turkey. me one. it's supposed to say troops on the front line and stepping up a counter offensive in cash on. a strategic bridge is now out of action. the world thing says it gets reliant, financial assistance until it puts economy homes in place. the country has been plunged into a deep financial crisis since 2019. the president has promised to get the economy back. contract of the u. s. and chinese presidents have told more than 2 hours and what's being described as they tense phone calls. changing things had worn joy by not to put it play with fire when it comes to taiwan. the family volunteers their agenda. schunover clay has made an impassioned plea for us politicians to support an independent investigation into her mother. they have the support of 80 members of congress. she returns the reports not from washington dc.

my name is lena clare and shooting was my aunt. capitol hill was the latest stop for the brother, niece and nephew of slain al jazeera reporter, serene blackledge, as they keep up the pressure on the bike, the ministration to open an independent investigation into a killing. this is the very least the by the administration must do. they cannot rely on israel's word. war criminals cannot investigate their own crimes. julian was my little sister, the family members also renewed the call for a meeting with president biden after he refused. during his recent trip to the occupied territories. a us citizen, a prominent journalist, beloved by millions of people, was killed by a highly trained israeli soldier. president biden was 10 minutes away. he never came to see us an ag members of congress and joined the family and cooling for an independent investigation. and she was trying to help us through her journalism what was happening now. we owe her her memory and her family an outcome of

what happened to her. i'm so sorry, co family and i'm embarrassed or when the murders, whereas really uniforms. there is complete silence. this is bigger than one person or one country. this is about our values as americans. on tuesday, the family met with us secretary of state and we blink him. afterwards he tweeted that he expressed his deepest condolences and a commitment to pursue accountability for streams quite tragic killing. but the family said he made no commitment to an independent investigation. the next stop for the block as will be the department of justice. the family says it's not naive . and so aware of the u. s. history of shielding israel from accountability for its killing of palestinians or us citizens. but it says it has to try and stop the cycle that leads israeli soldiers to feel that they can kill at will she ever time? see al jazeera washington, the democratic republic of congo is auctioning off licenses for oil and gas

exploration. climate activists say many of the $27.00 payments overlap with the national parks hosting brear animals and the exploration risk, the destruction of pete lens that whole vast quantities of carbon dioxide. but commonly officials say the country desperately needs the money a little bit. it goes, that is, our country is full of oil and gas resources that have for many years not been exploited. today, the president of the republic has decided for the very 1st time to put these resources up for the benefit of the congress, people, demit, irene, how a, b y. but taco joins us from kinshasa. she is the international project leader for the congo basin forest at greenpeace. could have you with us on al jazeera man. i mean, the president does say that this exploration and development is needed to uplift one of the poorest countries in africa out of poverty as we just heard from one of the ministers. but will it really, it is very concerned about this project. and it's really shocking to see that the,

that companies, officials are really to keep pushing this project to why do we not, this will not contribute to the local development communities for just say is coming to us that are living in those areas. they're not even informed about this project and we know how high corruption is in this country, which so we are really consent because we are surely that it's only a very, very few number of population that we would make benefit of this because of corruption. and the rest, what more than 100000000 communities will be in deep or witty or we'll touch on the corruption issue in a moment. i mean, does, when there's already sort of a social drive at the moment to reduce carbon emissions and climate change as high on the political agenda. i mean, generally, is there an appetite? do you think by investors to stick their necks out and be vilified by groups like you by talking about them adding to the climate change problem because all i want is for the rich to get rich quicker. i'm going to say it's

a pot as will continue to push. then you are see is a counter that is calling itself is pollution control, climate try this. and we really hope that oratory says we had to us, we continue to talk to those investors who are trying to take that high risk and invest in this very destructive a project. who rushing up or just trying forest is not at all part of the solution . it's really a critical issue that we really hope that many people around the world will just to stop it, because it's really key for the church. of the humanity is a different environment in a different country. but we've seen what uh, oil drilling and exploitation of the land in nigeria has done over decades. and it does worry a lot of people sort of the how the environment is damaged. the d r c has one of the richest, most diverse and valued ecosystems in the world. i mean, we talk about it being under threat, but what could we actually lose? you know this on project we're talking about,

i blogs and guess blogs and more than 10 of these are located in a forest area and islam. and we know how the forests are ended. yes, he is playing a critical role to fight against damage change. and we're talking about a very sensitive ecosystem, quoting pity on that, the story more than pity, bit on ton of carbon. and that is about 3 year of image, another year of a mission of the entire planet. that means any all abstract ition in this area would be a carbon bomb that fixed it really exposed. and if you manage, you won't be the same anymore. that's why we are calling for this top of this constructive on project india. in 2021, the d r. c was described by transparency international as the 169 out of 180 us most corrupt country in the world. only 11 other countries, a worse. one worries about any revenue this generated by the state, will it really help the people that need it most in this country that they are?

so fish, as i keep saying that, you know, they're always blocks with the oil project would bring positive 1000000000 of us dollars. and that will contribute to the local development of the countries. but this is not true. we're really sure that it will only increase poverty, but also bring a lot of cases of corruption. and as you say a, my country unfortunately is listed all those higher country that are impacted with our corruption. and nothing has been done in terms of policy or systems that will reduce these corruption. unfortunately, the old blocks project will only come with a lot of cases of violence and corruption. and this is why grid piece is calling for this top of this project, because we know that it's only a very small port number of people that we take benefit in terms of this all project and the rest of communities and the rest of millions of comedies people will remain in poverty. i remember took her from green presents to joining us. thank you. a protested has been killed in guineas capital during demonstrations
