6:04 pm
demands are met. now, this is it, it has led to a halt of operation in the green zone. that's where the parliament is located, hold of abrasion and all the state in institutions. and degrees of the game zone is home to government offices and also international diplomatic missions. bunked outsider is the found, the report that she and movement is block $174.00 seats knocked toby's elections, making it the largest faction in parliament for last month. so they're ordered all 74 m p 's to resign because of a failure to form a government. so there was the leader of a powerful militia group, the mahdi army, which was founded in 2003 in response to the u. s. invasion. he's a populist who enjoys strong support among poorer sheer communities. said her opposes the nomination of mohammed ausa donny for prime minister sang. he's too
6:05 pm
close to tell ron, but a sob. our lucy is an at least analyst and he joins us sat by skype, from istanbul, thanks for being with us here on the program. so how difficult a situation is this? now? bullets very difficult and it's very delicate. for very long time. nobody has fucked up why enter shield fighting? now this is very, very possible due to the lack that has been happening since the last election. and the problem is there does not seem any side because you negotiate any possible negotiations. and he also has many demands among them that promise you would not be nominated. and another one also that there would be also changes, changes in the federal judiciary, which is equal to the u. s. supreme court. because people like, i want to have to remember more than that chord. so it's trying basically to try
6:06 pm
their influence over there as well. and it's very unlikely that they will accept such demand. could this be a transformative moment in iraqi politics or is it something of a one off it doesn't seem like it because because there has no plea or turn it to side instead of the current situation. the current system is very rob annette and continuously losing legit. it's a legitimate continuously be a legitimate and i don't think that there is an introduction another alternative to the current system. it's basically. busy we're seeing right now is more of a fight for power in which you don't said there, one to dominate the other factions or the other ship functions and other other
6:07 pm
actions that persistent and they, when he was a diamond nation. so we're basically in a deadlock in which neither party used to horrible to prevail over the other, but at the same time they're not. we cannot to lose the battle with that deadlock, then i mean, could this be a continuing situation? protest to go away and come back again. it seems like it's, i mean they're basically sitting in the parliament and you know, the government to basic land paralysis. and this is probably the most dangerous aspects right now. or at least one of them was dangerous aspects of the current that like because the government to take over government. and it's been there for the election. and iraqis are basically asking for they've been asking for a refund for several years right now. and the security or government, they cannot implement any, not even the basic tasks that it, that it's set to do. so if this situation continues on their purchase,
6:08 pm
of course there will be, you know, deepening of the problems that had been faced, but they came in, there is no likelihood there. we see any positive change in the political ok, we leave it dana, the see, it's time, but thank you for your time. our presence vladimir putin has designated us on nato military infrastructure moving towards russia's border as its main threats. he made the comments at a navy day ceremony in saint petersburg, while ships, submarines, and hunches of personnel took part in a parade. the president also confirm that you hyper sonic cruise missiles who delivered within months glitchy always easy. it was more misty by keeping here is the capability of the naval forces. our navy can respond with lightning speed to all of those who infringe on our sovereignty and freedom. it honorably fulfills
6:09 pm
strategic tasks on the border of the country and in any part of the ocean in the world. he has high readiness for active operations of its coastal surface air and submarine forces. and it is constantly improving. like with the latest zircon hypersonic missile systems, which have no counter types in the world, yes. and no barriers. dear comrades, their delivery to the russian armed forces will begin in the coming months. let's take a closer look at that statement that identifies u. s. and nato was russia's 2 biggest threats. the $55.00 page documents says that washington is trying to dominate the wells oceans, and that nato is moving towards russian borders. it outlines moscow's plans to broadnix exploration of the arctic while boosting its northern and pacific naval fleets, and it announced as a comprehensive strengthening of rushes geopolitical position in the black and as of seas. anatole, the van is a senior research fellow at the quincy institute of responsible states croft. he
6:10 pm
says, the russian navy will face challenges competing with the u. s. a. nato fleets, the russian navy, the surface navy, at least, is out numbered for to one by europe's nate. nate, as european members alone, and of course by far more than that by the american navy. so in terms of numbers, there is really no contact where, of course, russia is the policy and i could, states is been nuclear weapons, which is why president putin, you know, repeatedly emphasizes rushes missile technology. because this is the one area in which russia is still a super unlike the army, the navy has not for an equal, but we do know that he suffered heavy losses in the, in the black sea in the ukraine war. that may well simply
6:11 pm
illustrate the power of american weaponry which has been supplied to the ukrainian or russian navy has always been considered to have had comparatively high morale and good commanders. but it cannot realistically fight nature. the only area where the navy is actually in action is in the black sea. and russia cannot reinforce the navy in the black sea. so it's not really clear what the rest of the surface navy is. therefore, of course, the submarine navy is there to threaten american the west with nuclear weapons. well, while grain sips new cranes, black c ports wait for the all clear to sail has been a blow to the farming industry. growing next seasons crop. the owner of one of the largest agriculture companies in he has been killed along with his wife, russian strike in mc alive. lexi, but
6:12 pm
a turkey was one of ukraine's richest businessman is naval on that firm. specializes in the production and export of wheat, barley and corn. now the roots, that grain ships will take, well, let's have a look. russia. ukraine have agreed that they'll be free to depart from 3 ports on the black sea, including a desk and other vessels will be monitored to make sure they don't transport weapons well, lexi coast is still mine, so commercial boats will be guided out of the area by ukrainian naval ships in istanbul, personnel from turkey, ukraine, russia, and u. n. will operate a joint coordination center where ships will be tracked and inspected as they enter the boss for us. straight on hanjin, thorns is now life on the port city of destiny. john, this vital grain issue has been on getting for some time now how close sali is actually seeing these ships sale where
6:13 pm
we could be very close. a turkish presidential spokesman said those ships have a very high likelihood of leaving tomorrow on monday. and we talked to a captain who is based on one on, in one of those ships ensure timor's at which is one of the 3 ports in the esther region from which those grain ships will leave. and he said that he was told to get ready to travel to morrow, to follow a pilot ship and to go to ist and bowl. through these newly created safe channels. at turkey in the united nations negotiated this agreement to allow those grain ships to go through these newly created safe channels. and all of that is expected to happen if there is no hitch, if there, if the paperwork goes through. and if there are no logistical problems, but there could be a hitch. and that is because for the 3rd time since that agreement was reached about 9 days ago, just within the past half hour we heard a loud boom here. and there are reports of as many as 3 strikes a,
6:14 pm
or at least 3 loud booms in the area. and our security consultant tells us that there are early reports that one of those strikes might have hit a market outside of the city of odessa. so that could delay things because one of the major issues here is security. odessa has twice been hit once at the port. and then once in a resort area residential area that we visited a little earlier today at which was completely devastated in an air about the area of a city block or so by multiple russian missiles. so if the security situation doesn't cause any delays, the early indications are that those ships could leave tomorrow and so on. as he mentioned that the fighting is of course, still continuing. what else do we know about what's happening elsewhere in the country? well, we know that the president vladimir zalinski has asked people to leave the don't yet reason region. he says,
6:15 pm
or tends to hundreds of thousands of people still there to spite some heavy fighting in that area that's in eastern ukraine and russian controlled territory. and he says he wants every one to leave. his deputy prime minister says one of the issues there is that gas lines have been cut, power lines have been cut. and that means if people don't leave their before the winner comes, then there will be, there will be no heat. there will be no cooking fuel. and people are going to live in a pretty miserable situation of their gotta be cold over the winter. so he's asking everyone to get out of there in zalinski words, the more people that leave the fewer there are for the russians to kill ok, finance on hanjin in odessa. thank you very much for that. hoping to more head on the news hour, including a torrential rains trigger, flash floods in the us state of kentucky even behind the trail of devastation. and will explain why to noisiest youth risking their lives to leave the country or so i can enter in sport,
6:16 pm
venge biggest stars in us ah, on official numbers in sunny goals, parliamentary elections suggest that few people had they weigh it to the bar box, local media indicating a voter turnout was just 8 percent or polling stations are still open. opposition parties are angry, as some of their most popular candidates were disqualified from running. they were worried that if at present mackie souls at party windsor majority mate try to change the constitution and run for a 3rd term. rogers heroes. it's an event. robbie has more from outside accounting station in decor. we have more than 15000 center votes in the car and all the car people started to vote from the 8 a m. and they will keep voting until the 8 we have. it's b m. we have
6:17 pm
more than a 7000000 electors who will vote in 46 departments. this election is very important for the country. we have 8 coalitions who are competing to get the majority in the parliament, which is composed by 165 seats. the biggest, i'm coalitions in these 8 are the government coalition supported by the actual president like yourself and a opposition coalition when months uncle with the leader of the opposition. and ob, delay was for is a former president. and in synagogue what we are expecting. we cannot predict until now we have the to wait more hours because the votes started
6:18 pm
the just at 8 o'clock. so in 2 hours before, and we have to wait, but we can say that in the box, the base rates and the votes of the young electors were you. we know that the young people are in like 50 percent of the population in that car. so these 2 items are very important to a little mind or the rest of the election. and they really mean a lot for all these 8 co, allison, south africa as president silver. i'm a poser has promised to focus on helping the poor at these parties at the policy conference. while the african national congress has been losing vote to support are facing criticism, corruption, and failing to address in quality. lead is out of the 3 day conference have
6:19 pm

6:20 pm
age of 27. and so the challenge really is to not only fix their own errors, catch up on the legacy of colonialism and part of it. but also they have to now prepare themselves on the country for the new challenges of the century head, which includes the climate catastrophe, hunger and, and this is not going to be easy, given the corruption issues, given the maladministration issues. and this is part of what seizes them in these committees. and the n c has been criticized significantly in recent years because of these issues like corruption. but your so touched on the youth where we're facing air, a 2 thirds of young people in this country can't find jobs. issues around inequality and poverty are significant in south africa. to what extent can be a and see specifically be blamed. so it must take a huge part of the responsibility. so yes, there are massive global forces that have to be taken into account. but mal administration, poor management of the economy, particularly in the state and enterprises are not doing what was actually indicated
6:21 pm
by in see governments in the late 19 nineties, around securing the energy sector, having a better education system at both basic, untouched level to ensure that people are employable and to transform social space as well as the economy, so that more people find ownership in it to broaden the taxpayers. none of these things have been done and the a and c in power since 1994. at one point with a 2 thirds majority able to really run its policies through parliament without opposition of any significant kind. none of that has happened. and so this is a party that must take some responsibility for the lay of the land in the country. at the moment u. s. secretary state antony lincoln has raised the killing of that sri i will, i claim, doing a call with israel's defense minister. the state department says lincoln told many dance that there is a need for accountability for the killing of the veteran odyssey journalist lincoln met with members of the abbey at clay family in washington, dc. on tuesday, shaheen was shot dead by israeli forces one on assignment in the occupied west bank

since roches invasion began. the conflict has forced the hospital staff to think of new ways to keep their patients safe, especially those who are most vulnerable, rejoined nie by doctor recorded. but history later, who's volunteering at the regional clinical hospital in the viv is also a member of the portuguese national. hon. thanks very much. the for joining us. can you give us all a 1st hand description of what the situation is like then thanks for having me. as you mentioned here in levine, with the sport of tonight, which is the global network of parliamentarians for global health and also the association of ukraine and living in my home country, portugal. and i have found your and leave, which is one of the safest cities in the country situation of overwhelm health system because being one of the parts of the country,
6:34 pm
it's exactly where internally displaced. citizens are running to leading to greater pressure on the health system. i have found in the maternity ward for example, women having their babies underground and bomb shelters. when the alarms go off, or i see you intensive care units for newborn babies that have been permanently underground since march, because there is no way to move the equipment when the alarm, when the alarm bomb alarms go off. and so there is a need for the teams to be permanently underground, which is great, fresh sure, for all of the teams across the board and all systems and all hospitals in the region. what i've seen is that because of the displacement of citizens from the eastern part of the country, this has led to an overwhelming a need of a response which inevitably is not enough. and as you know, much of the humanitarian responses going to the front with many international
6:35 pm
organizations being where the war is happening more intensely. and so here in the state for parts of the country, there is less mandatory in sports. so it's very much dependent of the citizens that stayed behind the keep the support and the health care system working for all of those in the country. and what was the situation and in terms of getting hold of medical supplies in terms of medical supplies, there has been great generosity, especially from neighboring countries that have been able to send a lot of their material to be very much connected to, to poland, in particular but also to other members of europe in union, and even today, or even from other other countries beyond, beyond the european union that have been sending medical supplies to the region. and many supplies are being sent from this region also to the front of the war in the, in the eastern part of the country. what we have seen. and i had
6:36 pm
a meeting with certainly ask the minister for health of the ukrainian government. i met him in chief a couple of days ago and he was telling me that one of the greatest challenges right now is being able to respond to patients, be them civilians or military that following becoming a wounded in war need, physical rehabilitation boards and the truth is the country is not prepared for this and he was actually requesting if europe, in countries and countries abroad would be willing to take and wounded soldiers so that they could work their physical rehabilitation process. and in those countries, since it's a long process, it involves many hours, the health care professional work, many resources, and those resources basically do not exist in this country. and so it is the country in war that needs to keep its health system working normally or as normal as possible. but, you know, going back to the maternity we are seeing, for example,
6:37 pm
many more premature babies being born because of the stress of the war. because people, especially pregnant women, are not being followed throughout their pregnancy as normal. and we are also in terms of mental health, we're seeing huge rise of cases of depression, of anxiety with the health system that is not able to cope. so i, what i can concern from being here on the ground is that we are dealing with major health issues and challenges, not only today, but the country will be facing these challenges and many years to come. and the rebuilding of a free ukraine will be depend on international cooperation, also to make sure that the health response is put up to speed to the needs of the people. dr. ricardo, about 2 nights. we very much appreciate your time here on al jazeera. thank you. thank you there us, how speaker nancy pelosi has begun a tour of asia. her office says that she will visit singapore, malaysia,
6:38 pm
south korea and japan to discuss trade code 19 and climate change. there's been no mention of a trip to taiwan. this part of her itinerary, china has warned against a visit to the self governing island, which it claims as part of its territory and as now to retake by force if necessary . what can be, how could sir joins us now for motion? so kimberly no mention of taiwan foreclose his travel shadow. yeah, that's right, but that doesn't mean that it can't be added. and so that is what is being watched very carefully. and the reason why is because the house speaker, nancy pelosi did in fact have a trip planned for taiwan back in the spring that was abruptly cancelled due to cov 19 and concerns about safety. and so now that this trip schedule has been announced, and there are 4 locations that have been laid out there. south korea, theres malaysia,
6:39 pm
there is also japan as well as singapore. it's not out of the realm of possibility that taiwan could be added at the last minute. and given the fact that there has been controversy, it's not surprising that it's not on the initial schedule. so that is being watched carefully, even as there have been stern warnings in a to our phone call on thursday between president biden and chinese president. she where the message from the chinese government was very clear to the us side that any sort of visit by the house speaker would be seen as meddling in china's affairs . so there has been a strong warning that has been issued, but ultimately it is up to the house speaker on whether or not she will make that trip. so kimberly, is that any shift to tool then when it comes to america's official policy over taiwan? well, this is something that the u. s. president made abundantly clear in that to our call with president she,
6:40 pm
there has been no change to what's been called the one china policy. in other words, there are no diplomatic relations between the united states and taiwan in terms of the, the 2 governments in their sort of ability to communicate diplomatically that is something that is still done between washington and beijing. however, what we do know is that there is under us law and obligation of the united states to help defend taiwan. and that's where things get complicated if and we know that right now circling the island to r u. s. ships, there are chinese ships and there also is the, the tie one's own military. and so if there is any sort of potential misunderstanding when the speaker potentially goes to visit the island, that's what there is concern about is that there could be some sort of clash that is unintended. and this could lead to some sort of confrontation militarily that
6:41 pm
nobody wants. and so that's the concern here. in fact, there has even been a discouragement of this visit by the u. s. military. but given the fact that the members of congress are co equal branch of government, in other words, the white house and congress have the same amount of power. the white house can suggest what nancy pelosi does, but ultimately the decision is her own. kimberly hallett law for us in the washington dc. thank you. the northern part of the root support silos have collapsed due to grain fire. the storage facilities were damaged in an explosion in august 2020. the blast killed more than 200 people. were grain in the southern court fire due to hot weather and has been burning for the past 2 weeks. now join knob i tatyana has rooty in that they root her father was an employee at the cities port and lost his life in the explosion. 2 years ago,

and algae they eat. the chicks are guided into a pen, them carefully fitted with a ring before the release to rejoin their colony. the tags enable conservationists to monitor their movements around the world. i tell people, and i think to this kind of tagging, we know whether these animals are eating in france, libya, morocco, or in spain. but it also provides vital information about the birds mating habits and lifespan. but climate change is having a negative impact on their natural habitats. salt water lakes are drying up and during a drought bird struggle to build their nests, which are made of mud, making them less likely to mate after a very dry, past few years, the laguna started to show its layer of salt with no water. thankfully, there are spots handled by the nature reserves, water supplies, which allows the flamingo colony and other birds to survive. the warming

6:53 pm
but what's really noticeable is the nature of the crowd. lots of families with children, and it's very, very well behaved, although they are very passionate as well. how to say a, who's the favorite germany on paper pre tournament english have done so well through the tournament kick, flushing, sweden, for nail in the semi finals to reach those final, which is the biggest attended final ever for a year as tournament. and whatever the result, it's clear that this tournament has created millions of new fans of women's football here in england. oh, of course england, there's something in the money telling us maybe there i've been here before we meet this was sheffield after england's women loan is the lioness. is thrush sweden to reach sunday's euro 2022 final nationwide screenings like this or bringing people together in public and nearly half a 1000000 fans of attended matches so far more than doubling the figure for the
6:54 pm
last tournament. 5 years ago, like this, federal was just a completely different atmosphere to the mains. it's more that i 5, and it's more fun a why join in saying a mexican lives and underpinning the euros? there's a whole ecosystem from the women super league to semi professional clubs like dollars, hamlet here in south london to school teams. how to believe that for decades women were bought from competing in a game that the english football association called quite unsuitable for females. a ground up and down the country. women's teams offer the fans. quality football we can we count, but there's no doubt the euros tournament has opened many more people's eyes and for clubs like this. that can only be a good thing. i've got mates texting me here. i've had no interesting them in several before getting really excited about this. told me lots of guys as well, which is i see people all ages. i was on my bicycle again. they exciting. hey, and i don't stop at the life of history old and in talking about in the game. it
6:55 pm
was on the not for i'm just things like that. not just for me is really special in recent years. women's and girls football has really taken off by 2020. the number taking part in england had reached almost 3 and a half 1000000. but there still a long way to go before the winner, anywhere near as much as the men do or make a living from the sport outside. the top tier. i play that with the year, i was going to bring a little bit more attention to the game and the women after getting a bit more recognition because i do trying really hard. it would be nice for them to be more expensive than they actually are. as the national team gear up for their biggest match ever, they'll be hoping the home crowd can give them the edge over germany. but it's not just about the result. we hope to hear that we got everyone so anxious taken that at the end actually the whole country should be proud, proud of us, and more even more pills and boys will start thankful. of course, for the lioness is going one step further than england's men did last year and
6:56 pm
lifting the trophy is the ultimate goal. so whatever the results are, and you can see that this has had a profound impact on the game. the england captain earlier, williamson has talked about their success to the line that is changing society. of course, or for the top level players, it might mean more money in terms of sponsorship, but they're hoping as well. but it can change attitude because things like him talk clubs where boys play for free at academies. in some instances, girls still have to pay to use facilities to be linked to those top cubs. and then they're hoping the attendance is at the local leagues, can also increase, bringing in more investment. and with that comes more ability to, to get top players and generating that crucial revenue. the women's game has been increasing in profile over the last few years, but they're hoping that that won't be the end of it. serge, thanks for that. and the team will let you go and enjoy the match. our lever full of started the new english football season with
