as brazil east pass south korea to make the quarter finals of the world we begin in russia where moscow's defense ministry is accusing ukraine of using drones to attack to of its air bases the hundreds of kilometers inside russia, one near the city of roseann southeast of moscow. and one in the serrato region. 2 people are reported to have been hurt in that explosion at the angles air base, which was recorded by security video. while russia says at least 3 service men were killed in the attack near reason, ukraine has not claimed responsibility ma'am at val is fallen developments and moscow. now the ministry of defense has issued a statement, but it is very brief saying that it was ukrainian drones with their soviet to engines that were sent and mounted those sites on to our bases. one of them is only

a 185 kilometers southeast of moscow called the d that jackie level or jackie level airbase. and that's where 3 people were killed when a fuel tanker caught fire and exploded. and the statement mentioned that those well, 3 service men, the other base, is about 730 kilometers southeast of moscow. it's called the ingles air base, and that's where the bombers are stationed the long range bombers. in the statement of the ministry of defense, it said that ukraine is, did this in order to disable russian long arrange aircraft. and not much has been added to this statement. but we are sure that in the next hours, and probably tomorrow, we will hear more from officials in the kremlin and, and the other parts of the russian government. and ukraine says russia launched

a wave of missile strikes on monday, causing power caps across the country. destroyed socketed energy facilities in the capital and several other regions, least 2 people were killed. the zappa leisure region where several residential buildings were destroyed. as invalid may, zalinski says most missiles was shot down by air defense systems. where we challenge has more on the strikes on both sides of the border from ukraine's capital. we do know that ukraine has been developing long range strike drones. they've told us this since going back at least as far as of october. this could be one of their early for res. now ukraine has shown the ability to hit targets in russian controls territory. they have hits air fields in crimea. they've hit the crime in bridge famously. but these strikes were of a different order of magnitudes in, in regards to how far inside russia or russian territory they are. because from the

ukrainian border to these air bases, it's at least 600 kilometers. that's way deeper than they've shown the ability of striking out before. now, where it is possible that this could be one of these new long strike drones, but yeah, there are other alternatives. her, these explosions at the russian air bases. russian planes took off some of them from the very air base or vases that, that were there were targeted to launch cruise missiles into you cray. now this was a wave of missiles that i think the grades have been expecting for, for, for quite some time. or the last round was on november, the 23rd. so a while ago now. but they have been repeatedly targeting entity infrastructure. and yes, they did that again. now the, the success rates are of ukrainian air defense in shooting down these missiles was,

are pretty high, or all the 70 or so miss out there were launched her 60 or so were down. but that does mean of course that around 10 got through and hit their targets. for testers have left mongolia government palace after an ultimatum by security forces. officials had ordered police to use force to break up the crowd early on monday. hundreds of demonstrators storm the palace and the capitol lambert who are angry at the alleged theft of a $12000000000.00 coal shipment to china demonstrates as a demanding an end to corruption. and they say the country's parliament should be dismissed. whistleblowers claim, a number of politicians pocketed nearly $13000000000.00 worth of coal revenue last month, mongolia as anti corruption or 30 said more than 30 officials, were investigated for embezzlement, including the c e o. of a state owned coal mining company. they're accused of making illegal profits from owning coal mines and companies that transport the fossil fuel over the border into

china. for almost 10 years, they have allegedly bribe mongolian customs officials to not register 6400000 tons of coal. whistleblowers, also fe corrupt mongolian customs officials registered coal loaded trucks as regular passenger vehicles and not as vehicles carrying goods on their way into china. or yana zilk over as country director, fort mongolia, the charity carrots as she joins us live on the line from lumber tor in mongolia and we gather it's extremely cold there. in the mongolian capital temperatures plummeting well below minus 20 degrees celsius. nevertheless, we have seen these protests gathering pace. one of the demonstrators though, hoping to achieve with these protests, good morning, mail from my car. so the demonstration, the most just cheating to chew is the, the basic with the end of corruption. among all the ice as many countries, so all the world stuff for doing the government in front of me and it sounds tough

frame because of 2 members, russia and china, one leading a war, the one the borders are closed most of the time and the suffering incredibly economically and basically it's the people, especially young people, demanding the government to, to end the corruption and to devise the wealth of the country among the people. and you, on a $13000000000.00 worth of coal smuggled across the board into china. that clearly doesn't happen unless very powerful people are prepared to look the other way. how high up all these allegations, gary is the president, is the prime minister afraid of what's happening? i believe the president has expressed that he wants to. he wants to talk to tuition, so it's teams that he does not know about it, but i'm, i'm really not sure the prime minister. what i expect,

i think in the, in the next following days will be some, hopefully some peaceful resolution and dialogues between, between the government and the testers. and then there will be differently people who will have to resign over on this case. but i am not sure whether it will be as high as the primary or the president. i would say, brother, maybe some members of the parliament or some ministers or the head of the department. in a country where mining makes up a quarter of mongolia as g d p. what does it mean to see fossil fuels smuggled across the board? and what sort of impact is that having on the health of the economy in the country? it has a tremendous impact on the health of the economy, but also on the, on the single society. people are incredibly frustrated and angry over over this

case because we'll do that. they will, they were a primary problem is when the whole mining sick the started was the well of the country real real. they also shared with them. and so far it being more than 20 years and they have not seen anything out of this. out of the 6 there, of course will go to funds itself. sandwiched in between 2 powerful countries, russia to the west, china to the south. what sort of influence is, for instance, the war in ukraine and continue tensions with china having on mongolia is the ability to govern itself. so many other countries, all the world, my goal is suffering from high inflation. the local currency to greek is very weak, where the corporate still us to learn or are you wrong. and we,

we expect that they will be even more impact on the economy starting of something in january. because for example, fuel prices are expected to go to go up, which means because it won't go that because of the distance and the huge huge territory, the fuel prices we'll, we'll have an impact on the prices of basically everything. yana zilk of speaking to us live from the mongolian capital lumber to many thanks for that. ah, now the top leaders of south africa's governing party say they will not adopt the recent report on the scandal implicating president civil ram, a poser of misconduct, present civil grammar pose. a briefly attended the meeting of african national congress leaders, and he left the gathering when officials discussed the allegations on sunday. and independent panel found the president may have violated his oath of office after

failing to report the theft of cash from his farm, from oppose. it says he will challenge the report in court. the any fear resolved that the any fee will vote against the adoption of the report of section $8.00, denied. putnam, given the fact that their report has now been taken on review by the president mohammed genji in house more from johannesburg. for much as he lays this treasurer general, he said to the assembled press that i should parliament take up this matter. the issue of, of trying to set up an impeachment inquiry in the parliament in south africa, should they take this up as they were scheduled to do to morrow and parliament that the a and c is going to vote against the adoption of,

of this independent panels report, they are going to vote against it. but what's interesting is the justification he gave, because he said just after that that, that was given the fact that this report has been taken to court and what he was referring to then was the fact that president ra, a poser has mounted a legal challenge to the findings by the independent panel i, he has asked the countries constitutional court to review it. essentially, he wants to get those findings thrown out that would benefit him. but the fact that you're hearing this now in this setting suggest to some that perhaps the party is not as unified behind mr. rom, oppose a, as they would like to project that they are all that being said, this is april curious, moment for mr. rum poser. it does seem he has more room to breathe right now because just last week everybody expected that he was going to resign or be forced out. now you have the leadership of the agency saying that they are supporting him

. but the justification for that as seems to be, or seems to sound like they might be hedging their bets, just slightly protest. her broken absence to don love to military rulers. and a coalition of political party signed a deal to established a civilian lead transitional government. the country has been without a functioning government since october last year, with armed forces seized power. hip morgan reports from cartoon, a new deal between sedans, military and political parties, the framework agreement aimed to and the political that lock. it allows for a new transitional government, more than a year after the military deposed the previous one or the rocker. the reality has made us all remove ourselves and our political interests and placed the interests of the nation and the people above. oh, where we put it because of that we have agreed to sit down and came up with what we're signing to day and agreement on the national issues that provides a correct and strong foundation for nation building. the transitional government

will be led by civilians, not the military. a prime minister will be chosen to lead sudan for the 2 year transitional period. a sovereign council will manage at the office of the presidency, and ministers and lawmakers will be appointed. in addition, the agreement calls for review of their 2020 piece accord, signed between but then transitional government and various triple groups. they the military. oh, prior to him, what is that vision? they failed and they came back to the dialogue. no. our, our guarantee is we don't want to the beat, they the same mistakes and that the, the bus station, or in sudan misery, the political situation, big economy, the security is our, is our, what is driving all of us was coming together. a constitution drafting process is also expected to be launched. signature received the agreement paved the way to resolving to dance political turmoil. however, not all political parties agree. several coalitions have rejected the deal,

including those that supported the military taking power in the 1st place. just a few streets away from the finding ceremony. protesters gathered to voice their concerns. security forces use tear gas to disperse the crowds. opponents of the agreement say it won't bring stability, or she don't difficult toilet de la the political party signing the deal, have refused for a long time to negotiate with us and reach deals. we've asked them to postpone the deals so we can reach an agreement and iron out our differences, but they've refused. this agreement comes against the will of the people and will be a divisive point. well, cause i little further discussions are expected between the military and signatories. to the agreement, they say there is still time for those who have rejected the deal to reconsider him . morgan al jazeera horton sale to come on al jazeera, thousands more ordered to evacuate in indonesia after a violent eruption of the mount sombrero. volcano an ox was 2020
