are being murdered in mexico every day, almost always by men, an epidemic of gender based violence that threatens the spiral out of control. now specialists police squads run by women are trying to reverse the trend and bring the perpetrators to justice. but can they overcome years of moto culture and indifference? behind the scenes with the fem aside detective on a jazeera, we'll discover a world of difference in determination. i'm coming down with me, but we are moving freedom snapshot. so just knowing the 16 people been corruption with an compassion, al jazeera world, a selection of the best films from across our network of channels. ah,

the u. s. secretary of state and the russian foreign minister discuss ukraine. taiwan and the prisoner exchange and their 1st phone call since the war and ukraine began. ah, are there on the stars the attain? this is out there at life and also coming ukraine says the 1st ships of grain have been loaded and are ready to sail, bringing hopes of relief to a global food shortage. minerals military is accused of using fighter planes to fire unguided rockets and civilian areas. every like, everything is good. oh, well is google and search and rescue efforts are underway in kentucky where torrential rains have swept away. at least 60, you know, that ah,

now the u. s. secretary of state and russia's foreign minister, have spoken for the 1st time since russia invaded ukraine back in february. and the lincoln says he told sergey lover of the wild expects moscow to honor its commitment to let grange hickman safely leave ukrainian ports. that rob said sanctions on russia party to blame for the global food crisis and that weapon supplies to ukraine. we're prolonging the war. we said along that, so if we thought there was any opportunity to advance diplomacy to and russia's aggression against ukraine, we would of course, take it unfortunately, tragically, we've seen no opening, willingness on the part of russia to engage meaningfully on ending the aggression at the same time i've also said that if there are issues where

it could make a difference in senior russians hearing directly from me or from colleagues, we would of course um pursue that. rosalind jordan has went out from the us state department. russia's invasion of ukraine on february 24th, essentially sealed the very tense relationship between the us and russia. the secretary of state antony blank and made it plain to his counterpart. sergey love rav, that the u. s. wants to see russia back away from. it's all going a battles inside ukrainian territory and that the u. s. was prepared to hold russia accountable if it tried to expand its military mission and others. i also made clear to form is to lever off that in light of recent statements coming from the kremlin about their plans to proceed with further annexation of ukrainian territory . indeed, the foreign ministers onwards about replacing a democratically elected ukrainian government,

as well as being part of their ongoing plans. those plans would never be such. the world will not recognize annexations. we will impose additional giving cost on russia if it moves forward with plans. also continue to stand with ukraine. antony blanket is about to embark on a 2 week long a trip that will take him to africa and south east asia. but he will expect to run focus very closely. not just on the war in ukraine, but on the fate of americans who have been detained there wrongfully. in washington's view, it's a complicated situation, but the priority is to both try to in the war and to bring americans home. well, let's bring anti b gatti. she was a former special assistant to the u. s. president on russia, ukraine, and the ration states during the clinton administration. she joins us now from washington. d. c. thanks for joining us now to 0. i do want to talk about broader dynamics here,

but i also want to start with the prisoner swap that ross was leading to that seems like not the most pressing issue in the relationship, but is it pops a step towards a more conciliatory space? well, it will be nice if we can get the prisoners home. i probably will be new prisoners in 6 months and then we can get them home. the problem with dealing with the prisoners is, is there feel good step, an important one because we should americans feel strongly about defending and bringing all americans under back to their own country. but there are prisoners all over the world, and the secretary state can spend all his time on negotiating prisoner releases on in a, in an ideal world, you wouldn't put people in jail for 10 or 14 years, or the kinds of things that just happened. but we don't live in that world and if we can make some progress, that's fine. but i would not think that this will lead in any way to progress on

more and more difficult issues. well, as someone who's been on the inside of managing these relationships yourself, can i ask how you would characterize that relationship at the moment tween must go in washington. terrible. it's probably worse than it's been even during the soviet union when we dealt with what was an ideological enemy as a country that we didn't know didn't understand, didn't visit. after 20 years of a more or less open russia. we now have arrested. it's closing that's becoming much more totalitarian in its treatment of its own people and sees the west as an enemy . and in fact is preparing its population for long war and for a reduced standard of living. all in the name of the glory of the russian stage. well, speaking of this idea of enemies, i see that u. s. congress and key of both want blinking to label russia state sponsor of

terrorism. but he hasn't done that yet. now, if the relationship is quite so frosty, why hold back you know, calling each other names isn't the best way to get problem solved. i, we, we, we can do it. i mean, it will make people feel good state sponsored terrorism. we can isolate russia even more, but russia is expecting isolation and is preparing for it. and i think that the war in ukraine is a perfect example of that. where their view is, they have certain goals and they would like to achieve those goals. and they're really not interested in whether we accept their definition of what you crane should look like or whether it should exist at all. so it's a really difficult situation because each side is suspicious of the other side. doesn't believe that there is a, any point in negotiating on some of these issues. i mean,

this is amazing if you think about of our secretary state and the russian foreign minister have not spoken since the beginning of the ukraine war because they don't think there's any point. and there probably isn't because the fighting is going to go on. it'll go on all summer, all autumn, and in the winter, that's when probably negotiations will start. the very problem is on, on, on, on our side of course is vladimir putin, who many people feel in the united states has to go before they can be any meaningful dialogue and change. and on the russian side, there is no love for the by the administration. and i just listen today to a broadcast where they talked about our candidate, our person, and that person was donald trump. so they're obviously waiting for some kind of change that will lead to a different policy towards russia. and i would not expect there to be

a different policy, but this is a very unstable relationship, a very fraught relationship because mistakes happen in politics. i miss so goes off and on that on the ship or on that wherever it is, there's a leader from the country for from the other country and all of a sudden you're in a real, real crisis. and i would add that the kinds of crisis that we have to deal with aren't getting the attention they should. we used to talk about nuclear weapons, strategic stability, the energy crisis. russia is a major, major supporter. i'm a producer of energy and we don't talk about these climate change. we don't talk at all with the russians about this. this is a on this is a design. this is a series of events waiting to become a disaster,

a fort relationship there that also has global consequences, toby, gassy, at their format, special assistant, the u. s. president, under the kenton ministration. thanks so much for joining finances era, toby, my pleasure. what in the meantime, ships in ukraine are filled with grain and they are loaded and ready to leave black c ports on the a deal guaranteed by the united nations and techie, rasa and ukraine have agreed to release the maps needed exports to ease a western food shortage, john henderson has one off of the ukrainian port city of odessa. the 1st ships long delayed by war are laden with ukrainian grain and ready to course through a new shipping lane designed to be safe from the conflict around it. ukraine hopes that soon it will again be feeding the world. susan fell in love with lily. madam, we sent all the signals are partners the you and, and turkey. and our military has guaranteed the security situation. as farmers

of the deceased, the oxygen ukraine needs to breathe. it's not only for disa, we understand the grain is a strategic role material for the entire world. so this makes it possible to day in ukraine for us to continue fighting and defend our independence across ukraine. strikes from both sides are a reminder of the danger of sending ships, 3 war time waters. the ukrainian military says russian forces have leveled a school in chroma tours in the east while the russian defense ministry says a ukrainian missile struck a prison in all. and even in the dawn bass, killing dozens of people keeps as vance disinformation from the kremlin. and that it was actually russian forces who carried out the attack. the prisoners of war inside the facility were from the as of battalion, which became synonymous with ukrainian strength when its fighters held off russian forces in merrier pole for weeks. john hinder and al jazeera odessa ukraine. moving

ecosystem. but that hasn't stopped 30 oil and gas blocks being put up for auction in democratic republic of congo. many of those are in areas home to protected and endangered species. hurry, matessa reports retained enough to me to bring in bows of oil. a controversial move by the democratic republic of congo, d r. c is a new destination of investments for oil and gas companies. it's auctioning of oil and gas development rights to 30 blocks of peak land tropical forest in the congo basin. welcome to d. i see the president insists this does not mean as government is backtracking on commitments made at loss is un climate summit. hello. i would like to reassure partners afford determination to carrot exploration, using modern technology that protects the environment, the foreigner and the flora, and preserves the ecosystems and ecological balance. the congo basin covers 530000000 hector's in central africa and his home to 70 percent of the continents

promote our resources. the democratic republic of congo is a potentially rich country. but at the moment, it remains just potential the government estimates. they are $22000000000.00 barrels of crude reserves and is targeting production of $200000.00 barrels per day . but critics say there is no guarantee the wealth will benefit the congolese people harder. mata, algebra, or a move in brazil is also causing concern for environmentalists. the government there has granted permission for a highway that cuts through the amazon rain forest to be fully paved. present viable scenario had pledge to seal the be off 3. 1 line that runs from announced water value. only half of the highways paved and becomes impossible in the rainy season. environmental se ceiling the road will it out. illegal loggers and land grab is to now access remote areas, the rain forest more easily. a recent study found the project would result in a 5 fold increase in deforestation by 2030, or call us no re,

isn't system scientist at the university of south palo whose work mostly focuses on the amazon. he says the project could lead to construction of even more roads. the state governor of the state as on us where this road will cover most of the land has announced that as soon as the roll is road is paid, it still comes on as we built, 2 east west roads, calvary areas, all protected with forests areas. we conservation units areas with envision so resource, so that will make deforestation explodes in that state. that's the state largest amount rate for us in the brazil amazon. as soon as there is open a rolled, then the legal leg grabbing becomes exponential. and then

all the other organized crime will act together. and this is legal and grabbing mining fishing wildlife trafficking and also drug trafficking, exploding the amazon and with the roads. it will become almost not to a place on earth. it will be a place on a different planet because it will be completely control by organized crime. i mean, my residents in the us state of kentucky have spoken of their desperation as they escaped their flooded homes. for children from one family were swept away. among the 16 confound that, so far, a state of emergency has been declared as the water levels that continue to rise. cable was on their reports. the appalachian region of eastern kentucky is under water. several days of rainfall have caused rivers to overflow their banks and entire towns to barely remain above water lines. the area got 2 months worth of

cope with the increase in c, temperature. the water that becomes warm air is in the 1st layer, so the heat arrives from the sun, it penetrates in the water. and that is a layer of water that these hot and the depth of these layer increases when the temperatures become too high. and so they cause negative conditions to the species that are not adapted to warm temperatures and death leaves deeper than the usually warmed up waters. in the summer. these opens the door to tropical species because these increasing temperatures are not only in the mediterranean, they are also in the tropics and the species that are adapted to high temperatures cannot withstand.
