country's colonial crimes. 2 nations did agree to work together on energy security and a joint commission to examine this shed history. the shrinking of the arctic has opened new maritime roofs and large oil and mineral resources, and strong rival powers such as russia, china, and the u. s. to compete for strategic influence. on friday, washington declared that it will name an ambassador at large the arctic region. during his visit to the arctic nato secretary general wanda, russian increased military capacity and china is growing interest in the region down stockton. the met with justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada. one of the 8 arctic nations jacobson is a researcher, the danish institute for international studies. he explains why the arctic is of strategic importance for the us. russia on the one hand, increasing their new terror capabilities and necklace and military base and the

short of plans. now they can actually reached the base. so that means that it becomes more important for the us to protect the national security against russia. because if you look at the globe on the top of the globe, if you sitting washington, the, the, the, the, the shortest route between washington and moscow goes by, the north pole. that's why it's become more strategic important to, to the us. and that is why we also see the important appointment of us and that last fall for the arctic farms, the us. it's the last of the 8 article states which, which did not until today have an, an actual optic ambassador. so, so what it does is that the level all the a space where when they need either by laterally or in the arctic cancer, which unfortunately it's on, it's on port right now. and so why,

why you have regional military rumble? it's even more important to georgia, have have the diplomatic exchanges to avoid. prevent that some misunderstand things up, perhaps mind dispute turn into some, some the major conflicts and get and get out of hand. so, but it's both the appointment of the, the arctic or the decision to have a u. s. and that large for the arctic is both because of security. but it's also the cost of commercial interest and also because of climate change with, which is a very important issue for the, for the biden administration. because the, the optic is now warming 4 times faster than the global average. and so the region experienced both new risks, but also new opportunities their various areas of attacks and russian controlled crimea in recent weeks. members of the town talk community said the region when

moscow took control in 2014 seminar, living in ukraine, but determined to return home one day theresa bowl has that story from keith on law . members of the grey, me in touch, our community gather every friday at this mosque just outside of ukraine's capital . keep. many of them have been living here since russia next crimea 8 years ago. no, we live here, but in order charles family still living there. he says people in crimea are struggling under russian occupation. what rush and brings to the territory where they come, they bring nothing but crime and destroying mother cry. orphan children were so the in crimea will so this in syria, and now you see the trying to do this, including ukraine in the past week. there have been a few of attacks on the cranium peninsula, even though ukraine has not acknowledged. it's behind them. an attack on the saggy

airbase destroyed 8 fighter jets from russia's black sea naval aviation. a further drone attack managed to put russian ground forces on high alert. the attacks in grey me a show ukraine's capacity to strike russian targets deep behind the front line. press involving me to fill and ski says he will fight to recover all occupied territories, including crimea. the crimea tires were deported from the food by the soviet union . in 1944 and thousands of them were forced in 2014 when russia occupied the peninsula. people here are hoping that when this voiceover may be able to return to the land, even though he may not from crimea, he says you need more help to win the war ukraine as a free people. it's not like russian people. we want to live independently. we don't want to be with russia and all we need from actually everything conscious.

it's weapon. if it had the weapon, we will fire till that and the international community has repeatedly condemned the annexation of room. yeah, yes. somebody, let me let the, she says, the peninsula plays a crucial role in the conflict in ukraine. russia use crimea as a military base. president lansky face that 750, so strikes against ukraine. rome are claiming peninsula, it's a lot of the will goes on ukrainians and says they're fighting for the freedom for crimea tars. this is also about returning to where they belong. i will, i'll just eat a processor named 20 new cardinals. and the ceremony of asking the appointments include more candidates from africa and asia. as the roman catholic church pushes to become more of this. and as adam rainy reports,

those cardinals will eventually play an important role in choosing the next pope. ah, in placing the ceremonial duke kept on the head of 20 new cardinals at the vatican, pope frances deepened his hold on the church. 16 of the new cardinals joined the ranks of those under 80, who will pick his eventual successor when he dies or retires. francis is now named nearly 2 thirds of the eligible electors who will choose the next pope. one of the new cardinals is bishop robert mcelroy, a 68 year old progressive from san diego, california. by elevating this lesser known cleric, frances is passing over other high ranking clergy in the u. s. who said catholic politicians who support abortion rights should receive communion. mcelroy supports francis his work. i make the church more inclusive and i think it's important to reach out to groups. ready this is what the pope is asked us to do,

who have been marginalized, who have been kept out of the mainstream, whether that be because of the lives of economics or of the race, nationality or their gender, or of sexual orientation? many of the new cardinals come from the global south. an area of priority for francis, just for countries, are now represented in this class of cardinals. for the 1st time, mongolia, paraguay, singapore, in east timor. it is clearly francis church now more than ever. but that doesn't mean the next pope will be in his mold. if you look at the story of the catholic church conclave at the moment when i get elected are pretty much surprising of reform or pope is elected from a pretty conservative conclave, as was the case with apprentice. ah may be too early to say just who will follow?

pope francis, but he's still doing what he can to increase the art. it will be someone who has received his blessing. adam rainy algeria, vatican city. there been clashes in argentina where police have battled thousands of supporters of vice president, christina, fernandez, the coachman. the protest came 2 days after prosecutors hold for a 12 year prison sentence fullcurson that pointing to lead to corruption. when she was president, demonstration happened outside her home in the market neighbourhood of the capital . one of thought is meanwhile the argentine economy is battling inflation and a currency that's losing value against the us dollar. while argentina struggles, its neighbors are getting financial boost, annual. schwann le has this report from argentina as border with bolivia. these trucks have come from all over argentina, the waiting to unload pretty much everything. food, clothes, shoes, medicines and toiletries. and also to live in the market. who do we sell to?

it all goes to bolivia in the towns around here. people sometimes can't afford to buy, so we can't sell much in this area. how things are bad and the rest of argentina. but thank god, we're close to bolivia and we sell every day gc, an army of 700 or so porters known as baggage heroes crosses the border every morning from bolivia to deliver to awaiting merchants. the members of a well organized cooperative. working with your thirties on both sides of the border store, it was like these used to be full of argentine projects for sale in bolivia. but now because of the problems in the argentine economy, it's the other way round with bolivians crossing the border in their thousands to buy everything that argentina can supply. what can't be bought legally is for a small price. transported through one of these 78 known clandestine crossing points, dirt tracks, and hidden pals on the long, almost impossible to police border. not that any one is really trying to the i'm

will gone to run low god, i mean, if the contraband that's now benefiting argentine, traders is not a priority to priority stopping drugs coming in. can fight the contraband. because if we did, the target exploded. we have got the benefit of social piece right now, not everyone's doing okay. how much of the project ends up in markets like this one in jacquila? 7 kilometers in said bolivia, we're about 70 percent of its merchandise comes from argentina. attracting shoppers from far and wide anacio market. there is a more now than before because the dollar in argentina is unstable. going down than up. sometimes you lose, but now we're winning because the urgent in best was expensive, which slows the price for us inflation. in argentina, in july alone, hit 7.4 percent widely used, dollar black market pays more than twice the official rate. the country said 3

economy ministers in just a few weeks. many a struggling but not here. her grandma starbuck is remembered underneath the by we've got work which is important in this country. the moment, however, we live from day to day. things aren't as good right now as they were m to go because of the constant rise and full of prices, the dollars up the dollars down. so it's hard to negotiate. you can't plan anything, but at least this work. it won't last, it can't last. it never does that in american economies, the victims of boom and buff communities like this one ever flows with decisions taken thousands of kilometers away. the for now, they're enjoying the good times. while they can, daniel joined their al jazeera in salvador muscle and argentina's border with bolivia. excitement is building is nasa prepares to take another step in its march back to the moon. an unmanned crew module is set to launch into lunar orbit on monday. america plans to put humans back on the moon surface by 2025 and mon henry
