ultimately as their country. but they're defending, it's their son to his daughter's. they have been lost is their homes fair infrastructure that has been damaged by m. wagner threatens invasion, and it's up for them to decide the circumstances under which they'd be willing to negotiate for peace. and the turkish president has had a phone call with the russian leader, reggie taber, tuan and vladimir putin disgust starting work on exporting other food products through the black sea grain corridor or back move to his home to 72000 people. it became a main military target for moscow in august. it's the only major area of the front line where russian forces are still trying to advance war we challenge has more on the fighting and back loot from keith. plus bring to a fight yesterday who is in cave at the moment to recover from a concussion that he sustained in back me recently. and he was telling me that the fighting in that city for resemble something like stalingrad or berlin from the 2nd

world war. he said he couldn't quite believe it until he was actually involved in the privations that the ukrainian troops going through that a pretty severe one russian pac keith survived on for 5 days, a half a liter of water a day, 3 hours of sleep in 24 hours tough conditions fighting that was often fierce and hand to hand. he was talking to me about a battle that he fought with 4 of his colleagues against 2425 russians who were trying to storm the building that they were in. they were shooting at each other from 5 to 6 meters away throwing grenades at each other. he said to a grenade almost to him, but he was going to pay on the stairs and that the great grenade exploded about a me 2 and a half away from his head to tell from that how intense the battles all around back moves, but the ukrainians continue to hold it and they are holding it against, as they say, wave after wave of rushing to track rushing attacks for

a mess and res from, from conscripts from the russian occupied territories of again. and yet can rushing conscripts coming from other parts of russia to this is kind of had on earth moments and lots of people trying to work out why it is that the, the, the russians are fighting for your hearts. try and take this bass. it doesn't seem to have that much strategic value. perhaps attrition is the point of it both sides just trying to grind each other down and cause as many casualties as possible. scottish authorities say the man accused of making a bomb which brought down pan on flight one o 3 in 1900. 88 is now in us custody. all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground . the lockerbie scotland were killed from on this. let's bring an allen fisher who's joining us from washington d. c. so we now have confirmation from the us justice department, alan. what more we learning about how this all came about qual,

we know that other angular a masoud was indicted on charges 2 years ago. now apparently he was in a libyan prison, having been detained by a libyan militia, over the last month or so. and it appears that there has been some process of extradition that has a load, the american authorities to move him to the united states. he's currently being held here. and we are told that he will appear in court in washington, d. c. in the coming days. know the families of those involved. busy than the pan am disaster were told of his detention in the last 24 hours. i know the justice department has confirmed that you've got to go back 34 years ago this month. to add the, the disaster. and there was a flight, a panel flight clip permit of the seas that was flying from london to new york. it had just crossed the scottish border. busy above the tone of lockerbie, when a bomb exploded, it killed all 258 people on board and 11 people on the ground. there was an

extensive investigation and in 1991, a number of charges were laid against a 2 libyans. now eventually they appeared to in a scottish court in the netherlands. a special panel of 3 judges held the case against the abdul neglect abdul bassett al mcgahey and kelly for fema. the caliph or fever was cleared of all charges, but abdul bassett al mcglenn. he was convicted, he was sent to prison in scotland, but in 2009 he was diagnosed with cancer, was freed, and then died in libya in 2012. interestingly enough, there are a number of people who are involved with the families, groups from the phantom disaster, who see that the, the libyans were not involved, including jim swire, who's conducted extensive investigations meant many people around the world. his daughter, florida died in the crash and he had said that he doesn't believe that outdoor bassett, alma gray was responsible. in fact, the observer at the trial,

it said that he was betty and unsure of the verdict reached by the judges. but here we now have another libyan who is going to appear in court charged in connection with the bombing above scotland 34 years ago. the worst terrorist attack in scottish history. alright alan, thank you so much. alan fisher reporting for washington d. c. let's keep the conversation going with toby cabman was a specialist in international law. he is joining us from london. welcome to al jazeera. so how significance or how important would it be for us officials to try the suspect in the us court? i think it's very important as, as we've heard, the individual who's now in the custody of the us was indicted 2 years ago. and because of the inability to bring the perpetrators they were ultimately responsible for this to justice. many, many years ago the fact that they haven't given up and that they now have

a suspect in custody who, who is going to appear before the court in washington, dc eminent they, i think it sends a very, very clear message to, to the victims that this matter hasn't been forgotten and those are some who will be held accountable, as we've already heard, there were concerns raised previously as to the trying to have as to that individual who was convicted his level of responsibility. so i think it is, it's an important moment. let me ask you this because my fluid himself had been serving a 10 year sentence in libya for bomb making. the u. s. and i was charged against him back in 2020. but that criminal complaint was based on a confession that mister woods had made to libya, authorities in 2012, which allegedly tied him to the locker be crime. so we do know that extradition allows him to stand trial, but is that confession that he reportedly gave in prison in libya,

admissible as evidence. what, of course, as we know the us authorities have been investigating this for some time and they have clearly been working alongside the live in our to, for some time what the, the us court will have to determine as to the conditions of his detention how that statement was taken at a confession was taken and whether that would be admissible in the us court. if their allegations of the treatment of torture which their invariably are in cases such as this as to whether that confession would be admissible. that's going to be a matter of the, to the us usual guarantees to, to deal with. they will also have to look at the circumstances of which he was, he was detained and then transferred into into us custody. just to ensure that the correct procedures were, were applied. but we would have to assume that there has been a great deal of cooperation between the 2 states. transfer of evidence on this

matter is likely to go to trial, which is why he may have been transferred. yeah, i mean how, what the u. s. had negotiated his extradition because last month it was reported that muscle had been in fact kid 9 kidnapped by a militia group in libya, leading to speculation at the time that he was indeed going to be handed over to us officials. and certainly those will be matters that his defense team will argue before the us court. and i'll be given every opportunity to argue that we had a very recent and very similar situation with the, the so called beatles that were in detention in, in iraq. and then handed over to, to us will, thirty's, but on trial and convicted and sentenced. so it is gonna be something that the, the, the court is going to have to deal with as to the circumstances of the arrest detention and the open trends, interest custody. we would hope that the correctly procedures have been followed so

that it won't impact on the proceedings because what the victims want to see is a fair process. and these in this individual particular family, prosecuted and convicted according to the evidence. that's what we want to say. all right, thank you so much a toby catherine for speaking to us from london. now, serbia says i will ask nato to let it deploy its own military. i'm police and kosovo after flare up intentions for police and professors walking. rhodes have exchange gun fire. there are costs of, of serbs who constitute a majority in the north and are angry at the rest of a serbian form, a member of the cost of opa lease. meanwhile, cost of those presidents is delayed local elections and majority serv. areas to calm the situation of man is a reach, has more from belgrade. served from us north are still blocking main roads in the region while the course of police close the 2 main border crossings between coastal north in serbia. there are high and couple of incidents reported including several

gunshots, but there were no reports of injuries. also european union mission. felix confirmed the fun bernice was thrown at all. you hire, present the features, a boy said that you will not tolerate such effect or use of violence. x. he also said the case goes to the serbs must be removed immediately and that all at 1st must avoid the escalation. in the meantime, the officials of possibly serbia on exchanges, optimizations for the escalation and so on. president ali found that got served for, for super us in order to protect themselves. he also said that serbia will ask natal peacekeepers to let the boys to be a military and bullying gospel, although he believes that there is no chance of request to be approved. it would be the 1st time the bell grade requested to deploy troops, and also from the end the warrior night. and tonight, the your lucian said, the furby off can the boy up to $1000.00 military police and custom officials,

dibiase majorities and border crossing the. but the just is such a deployment we always approved by commander of nato mission impossible. it should be said that at the time it was agreed the course of all was international, recognized as a part of serbia in 1000. i, however, also declared this independence which was recognized the united states and most of the european countries, but that the declaration was never recognized by serbia. european parliament vice president has been suspended from her duties after being caught up in a corruption investigation. kylie was one of 5 people arrested by belgium police on friday. and a corruption scandal which allegedly involves officials from katara. belgian prosecutors say the country may have influence decisions made by the european parliament by making cash payments on gifts to law makers. still ahead on al jazeera china lift some of its toughest covert 900 restriction. so why are people

still afraid to go out? the anticipation is rising and so is the atmosphere you read? i went to my castle a ways either thanks for joining in while that cyclone, that made line falls south of tonight's injected a lot of moisture into the atmosphere for india, but the rain quite a ways nor so in lots of pradesh mar roster. i don't think rain though for me by but increasing cloudiness does seem likely on monday with the high of 32 degrees, i got something cooking up to the northeast of the philippines before i got there. i did drop quite a bit of rain on the philippines. around manila we had severe flight advisories in play. i think those will be dropped as that. rain starts to dissipate, but really now the worst of the brain through the malay peninsula, call them poor singapore. and that top end of sumatra,

anywhere in that zone of $50.00 to $100.00 millimeters of rain, get ready for it, and other courts have come into china. so here's the pitcher on monday. already can see signs of it, right. 10 degrees in shanghai. let's go to wednesday, paint the colors on dark or the blue, the low, the temperature, shanghai 5. even hong kong in on this is wall. just it's seen degrees, some snow showers, few showers as waltz through the korean peninsula, fairly quiet for japan. but let's put this for to wednesday as well, cuz at sea effects, snow really picking up. i think we're going to see some blizzard conditions, western hook kado and western honshu island on wednesday to later to with sponsored by kat on a ways ah, ah

ah ah oh, hello again. the top stories on al jazeera, the sour ukraine's presidents as russian forces have destroyed the eastern city, buckman, turning it into what he describes as burned ruins. fuller, zalinski says the situation remains very difficult in several frontline cities scottish authorities are the man accused of making the bomb which down to panama flight in 1988 is in us custody. all 259 people on board were killed,

sure. money. early in the 2nd half, england was ordered a penalty. then came the late drama olive years yuru score to reclaim, to leave for france. and 6 minutes before the final whistle, english strike her harry came miss the game, tying penalty kick. so we're now down to the last 4 of the cut, our world cup. the 1st semi final match will be played on tuesday between argentina and croatia, while rating champions france will take on morocco on wednesday. let's now cross over to laura con, who's joining us from an art festival at oxygen park right here and tell her to tell us where you are. you're seeing where you are, laura? that's correct. i'm in the re pulling out, but they haven't opened it is no longer go on the caucus and it's all so many different sections all inspired by adventure and travel old

from it, but to thought which is as many evil traveler and russia the scholar. but you can tell it's really more about this and here to join me. thank you so much. and the key to tell me are you from the foundation? hear me what's happening in the background right here. we've got a singer who's also looking at brain wave surfacing yes. well derucia performing arts festival is such an incredible initiative that we started last year. and as you correctly said, it's very much around travel and invention and adventure. and that for us is really about bringing together education on the arts on the science side of things. so just behind us feel here to lol, who is an incredible palestinian performer. she specifically looks at how singing and music connects to science and how she does that is she things. and then she has

a machine that shows how and what her brain is doing. and she's thinking, so it shows you really how the connection is between what you're doing and arts and how that connects into science and not really is what really shows all about. we have some incredible sections and workshops going on all week really focused on young people and education and fun. and it's just a really cool family friendly way to kind of around out the world. now this isn't just about, i'm taking a break, a day off foot pool and enjoying the culture. oh, really about legacy that you well off to the wall covers finished. so something that guitar foundation really tried to do with welcoming fancier, but also with local residence, was to kind of shine a light on what the culture is here and, and where it really comes from an heritage. and the beauty of arabic language and how that blends into education and progression and the future of the country. so to

reset sort of rounds all that up, it really is looking at the history of the country, as you said, the history of the air. all right, we do apologize for that, that was laura con and her guest a bay were reporting from oxygen park here in del how we will move away from. busy cup use and tell you about the crisis and peru, because there has been war protest after the swearingen off a new cabinet under president deena boulevard, suite of power. on wednesday, her predecessor petro castillo, was impeached and arrested. after trying to dissolve, congress police have been out in force as his supporters demand his release. marianna sanchez reports from lima, anger mountain in the central indian region of him. the whiteness, at least 20 people were wounded in clashes with the police. he's one officer, was taken hostage here in the south of the country, protesters blocked the mean highway fed up with what they see is

a corrupt political class movement or out demonstrating from north to south. most of them with the same demands. even if you, i mean, because it's really a political, definitely closed congress and let all the lawmakers go. they do not represent us up. why am i getting when i'm good? how can we trust watty? she said, if president castillo goes, i do too. and she did not stand by what she promised for her 3rd day in office president. he never wanted this for in a new cabinet asking each minister the same question. what i was said, do you swear not to be involved in corruption? but before the ceremony was over, corruption, accusations surrounding the new prime minister had already surface jovial, comparable basil life. i am concerned with the appointment of a mediocre cabinet and consequently that it will not be capable of generating enough political strength to quell the protests that are still small, but already all over the country that yeah,

that's why 87 percent of peruvians want congress does so they do has had 6 precedence in the last 6 years. most former leaders are either in jail or under investigation for corruption. anger is who in because i'm interested in this case because i and many and i'm hard to believe that they can be governed with them on medical class. former president b lucas, the you left office with a 25 percent approval rating. he's facing 6 corruption charges, and one of rebellion theo says his arrest, this arbitrary and illegal, he's currently serving a 7 day preliminary detention. a judge has denied his petition for release. oh, whether protesters support the former precedent or not, most been say they will march until their voices were finally heard and innocent

just and to see that not beaten china 0 cove 19 policy has been one of the toughest in the world. mandatory regular testing in quarantine and medical facilities. but after rare protest, the government dropped most of the strict measures and eased others. nevertheless, the impact isn't what was expected as iran con reports. he'd think that after imposing some of the toughest coven 19 restrictions on the planet, lifting them would fill the streets and cafes with people alive for be getting back to normal by getting rid of measures like force people into quarantine, county, letting people isolate a home and allowing free travel within the country, china may have stopped the protest that took place last week. and citizens have expressed relief. but this is now happening. people are still afraid to go out. and we'll hand where the 1st cases of cov 19 were discovered. it's still mostly empty, and business owners are worried. they are, those are your businesses are struggling to hold on. let's see how it goes. after

things have opened up, we'll have to see if there are any travelers. we have to see what the footfall will be like if things are still the same. next year people will have to leave. people are staying away because they're afraid, the lifting of the restrictions will mean more people will be exposed to the virus . but the government is working to reassure people that they are safe to get back to their lives. one of the other big worries is the lack of medical supplies and testing kids. but pharmacists in southern china say once disrupted supply chains and are functioning as they're supposed to. there have been times when we've run out of stock because demand has significantly increased, but we've made some adjustments. so if we run out of certain items, they will be restocked the next morning. it'll take a while for people to begin to get back some semblance of a normal life. the chinese government has pushed the narrative. the only way you deal with cov 19 is that you don't have any cases at all, but its own health experts are now saying by scrapping regular testing infections

are going up. not so say the government health authorities reported 1661 new infections for beijing on saturday. down 42 percent from $3974.00 on december 6th. a day before the national policies were dramatically relaxed. transitioning from a 0 coven policy to a deal with coven policy is going to take some time and opinion that health experts and the government seem to agree on. but how that transition is managed is in dispute with health official fairing a mass outbreak, but beijing's worried that the tougher frictions on movement that lead to rare protests and open critics of the government will flare up again among dessert. so a new chat bought that uses artificial intelligence to generate human like responses has been surprising users online. since this launch this month, it's called chat gpc, which stands for a generative pre trained transformer. the user types in a question or prompt and the program types out

a response and consume sharif shows us how these so called check pos, deliver answers at high speeds. so let's see what it can do. let's begin with an easy question and that would be how do you make chocolate cake. ok, we seem to have the ingredients out here. that's pretty quick. second question, let's try something harder. is artificial intelligence capable of free will? now finally, one question to the boss might be important to you and me. how do you get a promotion? so some useful tips there may be, i should implement them. so we have one minute, 3 questions. i'm pretty quick answers for millions of monarch butterflies have descended on central mexico as part of their annual winter migration. and as many world rough hello reports are mitchell con state efforts to protect their

hibernation grounds are more important than ever. it's one of the most spectacular mass migrations in the animal kingdom. monarch butterflies. millions of them arriving at the winter habitat in central mexico. this year, the international union for the conservation of nature officially designated the migrating monarch butterfly as endangered. yes. oh, this is like an alarm bell over the population of the migrating monarch butterfly, and it's a warning sign of what's happening to pollinating insects. experts say the use of pesticides along with a loss of habitat, are the biggest threats to the species. increased forest fires and unusual weather patterns linked to climate change have also been linked to their decline. this means protected forests like a little side of the largest butterfly sanctuary and central mexico or of vital importance. they may be difficult to see from a distance, but these trees behind us are absolutely covered in monarch butterflies. now

tourists are welcome at this protected butterfly sanctuary here in central mexico. but visitors are asked to keep their voices down so as to not disturb the butterflies. for many the up close encounter with millions of these vibrant butterflies is a once in a lifetime experience. one that can turn just about anyone into a champion for conservation is long for something once it's very important to protect this natural reserve, which the butterflies at themselves seek out for hundreds of years. indigenous communities in this part of the country have associated the monarch butterfly with the returning souls of the dead. their colorful ballet has inspired art and dance and even become a symbol of mexican cultural heritage. often feature during mexico's annual day of the dead celebrations. a bill cruise a conservationist at l rosario. this is protecting the floors were monarch butterflies. hibernate is also a way to safeguard mexico's natural resources for human populations. any more than

that than ever was cases having well preserved forests is very important because that's where the water we need to survive, comes from water that goes all the way to mexico city, which experts in mexico see that despite the monarch being designated as endangered, there's evidence that conservation efforts are working, but ultimately the future of this iconic insect depends on the continued protection of their natural habitat. mine read up a low al jazeera, central mexico. ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, ukraine's presidents as russian forces have destroyed the eastern city of buffalo, turning it into what he described as burned ruins, followed him as a landscape, as situation remains very difficult and several frontline cities scottish authorities say the man accused of making the bomb went down to pan am flight in 1988.
