omni barker, this is al jazeera life from london, also coming up living on the front line. russian shelling intensifies in back quote, residents battle fear, frustration. united fronted sri lanka, civil society groups, trade unions and students join forces to protest the countries dire economic situation and the un report, whoops, there is no critical path to meet in common reduction goals urging radical societal transformation instead. ah, it's already a lebanese leaders have signed a u. s. broker deal that for the 1st time, lays out there maritime borders in the mediterranean sea. it enables both countries to conduct off shore exploration for gas and oil. the agreement follows months of

in direct talks, that ended a decades long border conflict. then a harder house, more from southern lebanon lines in the sea, have been drawn as being described as a landmark agreement between countries, technically, in a state of war, lebanon, and israel didn't engage directly in the process. it involved years of negotiations mediated by the united states. that's given both countries guarantees. if either challenges the agreement i historic day in the region of securing showing what's possible under these circumstances to achieve an agreement that creates hope and economic opportunity and stability for on both sides of the border. there was no formal ceremony to mark the agreement behind closed doors. the delegation signed separate documents, which were then given to the united nations. the deal is based on what is known as

line 23 gaz from a prospective field called connor will go to lebanon. but since a part of it lies outside the demarcation line, israel will be given a share of any profits. while the charisse gas field will remain within as roused waters and extraction has already started. this allows israel to increase its potential to export gas to europe, where there is a rising demand triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. this has provided a capitalist and the push and implemented for this agreement to happen, specifically because europe is working on and reconfiguring its energy security away from its dependence on russian oil and gas hydrocarbons agenda. energy production in the eastern mediterranean has been growing as israel, egypt. jordan and cyprus have worked together. you look for approximately you look for accessibility among many other things and so far the east med geographically

position as it's, is, is proving to be that accessible quality door to europe. so they can start getting guys, getting guys out of lebanon will take time. the deal enables international companies to begin exploration, which could help lebanon with its crippling economic crisis. for 11 on this is about the economy. it insists the deal does not signify any form of normalization, nor is it a peace treaty. for israel, it's about security guarantees. and in the words of the prime minister year le pete, a political achievement through which levon on the fact recognizes israel has the law which towards israel rejected those claims. but since the start of the negotiations, the iranian backed group adopted with many calls, a pragmatic approach. it is the most powerful political and military force in lebanon. and the states would need its stamp of approval, national. he has the law not to do his but considers what happened in the maritime

borders. demarkation agreement, a great victory for 11 on the people and the resistance. the agreement may be limited to the maritime border, but the us administration sees it differently. president joe biden says it will harness vital new energy resources for the world said there else's either no quarter. so they're living on well, bernard smith is on the other side of the boundary with the radio perspective. after decades of hostility in israel, this is being viewed as a significant and diplomatic departure in relations with lebanon. israel views this as good for its security along the northern border. reducing the risk of potential conflict with iraq backed group has been. busy and as the prime minister, as also said, it's not every day that an enemy country recognizes the state of israel in a written agreement in full view of the international community. israel's already

started exploiting one of those gas fields named in the maritime agreement out there is pumping. it's been pumping gas in the last 24 hours. so it's already enjoying the economic benefits. lot of attention from israeli media. busy on this meeting to day compared to the fairly low key event, as was shown from the lebanese side. but the israel is here making a lot of this agreement. after more than a year of deadlock and disagreement, iraq's parliament, as finally approved a cabinet presented by prime minister designate mohammed, sheer owls to danny, but mood up the war had, has more from the capital, baghdad. the parliament has finally endorsed or approved the cabinet submitted by mohammed, chit chat suit. any $21.00. ministers have been approved out of $23.00, only 2 ministers, the minister of environment, and minister of housing and reconstruction. the hours yet to be endorsed by the parliament. there is still disagreement over these 2 ministries because that is how

they have been given to the court as you know, that the ministries have been distributed among she at sunny and could or parties. but now the opposition who left the session deposition lo makers who left the session and say that it's an unfair distribution. and it's just at applica of the former or a government. and they're not expecting any improvement to be submitted by this government. ah, ukrainian forces at pushing towards the strategic southern city of her song, moscow appointed authorities of fled the city along with more than $70000.00 people . fighting has also been intensifying in the east with russian forces shelling the city of buck moose and the don yeske region. i'll just do as i said bag is there. at the main interchange of blackmore, i,

game. but then gainers without a doubt and dangerous bloody. and i would say filthy one way. it's again that denies the sovereignty of countries and nations, the distinctiveness and uniqueness and disregard any interests of other states. poland has destroyed for communist era monuments in a drive to remove symbols of russia following its invasion of ukraine. ah, 1945 monuments commemorated red army soldiers who died while fighting nancy troops in world war 2. poland, head of national remembrance, says they were monuments to disgrace the celebrated the repressive soviet regime. the kremlin says the demolitions are an attempt to stir up hatred of russians. southeast asian countries of again fail to take a tough stance against me on mars military rulers, during a beating of ascii and foreign ministers. discussion centered on developing a new strategy in dealing with the john to nearly 2400 people have been killed in

for those inside me or not, it's hot to remain optimistic. we've been moving to us unless you're solution internally domestically. the ocean is for a political solution, or are they never existed all the gender plans to hold an election next year. but it's being criticized by many as a way to grant to legitimacy to mil, to florence lee al jazeera. so to come on out as they are and why brazil's, under threat amazon rain forest could be the loser in sundays election. run all ready for anything cattle, security forces prepare for well cut, worst case scenarios ah with. well,

the theme continues its wall and it should be throughout most of europe and sometimes it's wet, but those wet areas are quite limited to spot the magic clad. you see the concentration is really in the west. so we will see, for example, during friday, rain getting fairly heavy in the western side of scotland, this whole system eventually and the up in scandinavia. but not until later in the weekend as inducing that suddenly breeze, which means of course, everything's being caught and certainly breathe, that tends to be quite warm. so temperatures are several degrees above average, everywhere from spain, right across the balcony, and the heart of europe. as you can see, there's not much rain around to change things in the picture continues on saturday . that rain just catching the edge of portugal. and spite attempts is typically $5.00 to $7.00 degrees above average in some places, more than that, particularly in the mediterranean, leaving europe for africa, the rains all going south with the sunshine, but still as far north as guinea bizarro, for example,

where we seen flooding coastal don or a particular nigeria are sto cheryl around here, but further north is now dryer and dusty the reins of heading cyrus. i'm because it's spring, we see more rain in the countries of southern africa, which suppresses the recently high temperatures. ah ah ah ah

ah, one of the top stories here on al jazeera, it's way the lebanese leaders have signed a u. s. broke a deal that for the 1st time blaze out their maritime borders in the mediterranean sea. it enables both countries to conduct off shore exploration with gas and oil. the agreement follows, must have been direct talks that ended a decades long border complex fighting has been intensifying and ukraine's eastern regions with russian forces shelling the city of buck route to the done. yes. queen, many people in the city are living with little food and no electricity, one in the south ukrainian forces pushing towards the strategic city of ah, civil society groups. trade unions and students have protested ins for lancaster

capital over the countries di, economic situation. they're also frustrated with the brutal suppression of earlier process sol anker's facing the worst economic crisis in a decade with rising inflation, many being pushed into poverty. people are facing shortages of basic goods including food, fuel, and medicine. and al fernandez has more from columbus. contrary to what the government says, you can see the hundreds of people that are gathered here at this rally are brought out by frustration by anger. albany can on the crisis that this has brought them to their knees. there's a cross section of people that are people from trade unions from civil society. as you can see just the faces. it's not just rebel youngsters trying to cause trouble . basically, a combined people's movement to fight against what they see. injustice mismanagement that is boucher lanka to his knees. now if you have more than

a few up there on it, i bet we want to come to where everyone can live, even as a member of the middle class. i'm finding it very difficult to survive in our me, and among the different messages we're hearing from the state today. it's about stopping the privatization of state enterprises. it's about managing the country better. we've also had a major pushback against state repression against the government's violent crackdown of people standing up and speaking out against what they see is wrong. now, one of the speakers who was very closely associated with the protest movement in recent month, basically told the gathering that if the government thinks that they're going to repress and quieting the people's voices, they have another thing coming that the more the government tracks down the more they deploy police and the military, the more the people will rise up and that there's a limit to keep those patients. they're not going to be covered down. and that

essentially seems to be the more that were feeling here. and they say enough is enough. in other news, a new united nation support shows the window on the opportunity to counter the worst impacts of the climate crisis is rapidly closing and it shows an urgent transformation of the way we live is the only option to help save the warming planet or environment editor nick clark has the support this is the latest un emissions got report, it's called the closing window, and it makes for uncomfortable reading to say the least. it shows the gap between where we need to be in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and where we actually are right now. the temperature has increased by around 1 point, one degrees celsius. since pre industrial times, the paris agreements goal is to keep the temperature right. so ideally, no more than one and a half degrees celsius, but we're not even close card national commitments to scale back fossil fuels leave

is hurtling to at least 2.4 degrees celsius in cold scientific terms. this report tells us what nature has been telling us all year through floods, through fuzz, and through storms that were in deep trouble. when moving from a situation of climate prices rapidly to the situation of climate catastrophe averages and the area to increase in temperature. so it will a rate increase in temperature $2.00 degree that could mean for even more degrees in parts of africa. so it's going to have huge implications and then at the very end, equally distributed around the world. and they will affect the people that are the course and the most vulnerable the most. now the report says to get on track, we need to reform the global economy from food systems to electricity supply from construction to transport. we need a total reset. as far as possible,

but somehow that has to be done without leaving, developing nations behind who are not responsible in any way for any of this. developing nations have not caused this problem that they're gonna have to be part of the solution if we want to keep the pairs agreement and temperature ally is even if developed nations to restore it really has been causing this problem, even though they will give them a chance to steer tomorrow that wouldn't be sufficient. so we basically need to get all the fees on board of this and to do so with prior and new a new way of thinking. of course, there are some signs of progress, for example, more and more renewable energy is coming online every day. but it's not enough. and rich nations need to step up before the window of opportunity slam shot. we'll say with the environment climate activists in the hague of targeted your hannah's veneers. masterpiece girl with a pearl earring video published on social media showed just stop all protested,
