this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian finnegan of this is that he is alive from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. washing troops join forces with the wagner mercenary group, intensifying their assault on the eastern ukrainian town of sola, though the pentagon confirms that it will begin trading ukrainian forces and the use of its patriot missile defense system. as early as next week, brazil's president criticizes his security forces for not doing enough to stop sundays attack on congress. and the leaders of the u. s. canada and mexico hold a trilateral sellers and mexico city aimed at tackling drug trafficking and immigration. and i'm far as small with the sports as christiano. rinaldo gets ready for a possible showdown against lena massey and brad. the portuguese star is expected

to face off against massey's power. sasha man in his 1st game, didn't moving to saudi arabia ah, fighting as intensifying at east of ukraine storm bass region with moscow's troops being helped by mercenaries from russia's vodka group. it's founder you have gain a preggers in, says that they're fighting heavy bloody battles for control of the area. britain's defense, but stress is that it appears russia has taken control of much of the soap binding town of solider. and that's their back. moose were troops on both sides have suffered heavy losses. meanwhile, fighting it backwards continues. ukraine says that his forces have been holding on despite widespread destruction after months of attacks. russia's state news agency task is reporting that there's been a change of command in its army. moscow, et cetera. promoted colonel general alexander lap in 2. it's

a staff of its ground forces. he was previously commander of the central military district. and russia, defense ministry says that it's been conducting naval drills in little which, unseen. it says it's frigate is armed with a hypersonic missile is capable of evading western air defenses. now with more of what's happening in ukraine, his char stratford, in cave present zalinski last night acknowledging that the battle for solid awe was indeed intensifying. he saying that the ukrainians had in his words, one time in order to get more men and supplies inside that town now solid is around 20 kilometers north, east of the town of buck, mood, of course, buck mood is seen. some of the most intensive fighting over recent weeks and months . a town that is often nicknamed a meat grinder because of the sheer amount of men that have been killed in it on both sides. solely dog is a salt mining town. it is the largest salt mine in ukraine and it has

a vast network of underground tunnels, around 200 kilometers, in fact have underground tunnels, some as high as 30 meters. i mean a football match, for example, is being held under ground in solely in the past. so one can you imagine this is a huge strategic importance. we can only speculate that certainly according to the russians, they are saying that the ukrainians are using those tunnels as defensive positions to store ammunition and so on. so we can only speculate that the fighting there is particularly intense because it is of such a strategic and military importance. whether we're going to start seeing such a thing as a seizure, such as what we saw around the agile style plant in mariel pool was months ago, remains to be seen russians. wagner group has a private para military force that was founded in 2014 after moscow an ex crimea.

the group is founded by rushing business by the gainey triggers, in whose close to president vladimir putin. he also has a catering business and was once called to tins. chef the bunk group recruited, rushing prisoners to fight in ukraine, promising that they'd be free men when they return, if they survive the war. and matthews, as an expert on russia and has written a history on the origins of the russia ukraine war. he joins us now live from ronco to have you this. and what sort of fighting force is the wagner group? are they making a difference on the battlefield? in ukraine, well, the movement of the in the war, and it's important that when the great mystery is actually because of the quality of that troops is questionable, certainly are the ones they recruited from prison. and the best explanation for their prominence in this campaign is that they are expendable essentially,

that the deaths of former prisoners and mercenaries actually will not have the same kind of political impact, potentially on opinion at home. that the deaths of sickle, quote unquote, ordinary soldiers from ordinary towns. what have, what is that said they, they, they are incredibly willing and in fact you get it. it goes in themself is that a weirdly morbidly or most proud of the fact that they are willing to die for, for either for money if they are pure messages or for their own freedom. if they are prisoners. where do they stand in the command structure from, from whom do they take that orders and also where do they stand legally? that's next question. because gordon has actually very surprisingly taken the opportunity to leverage the gains that bug never supposedly made on the ground in order to launch an extraordinary series of attacks

has been added to several months now. a series of attacks on the political leadership of the russian army, which is obviously very bizarre and potentially dangerous in the sense of, um, any kind of war load with a private army is attacking central government. if that central government collapses, then you have a very terrifying situation, but they don't essentially really take orders from a central military command at all except on the strategic level. they are deployed in certain sectors and from then on promotion that by his own account seems to be using them exactly as he wills. and he has actually gone out of his way several times in social media to under underlie that this is a wagner battle back with a solid. i will be a partner which victory, another russian army, victory. what happens? one final question. what do you make of defense? minister survey shows you is comments today the russia will continue to develop it's nuclear triad. is the main guarantee that sovereignty,

what did he mean by that? i think he's absolutely right. and basically the he's, he's pacing of variable factors that one of the reasons why various discussions of, you know, forcing walk russian war criminals and put into the hague or forcing russians pay reparations are in a frankly mistaken. sadly, that might be just, but it's not probable, simply because the russian nuclear shield was the 2nd largest nuclear power in the world. and actually, an invasion of russia is more or less impossible for that precise reason that actually it's willing to use this nukes, if attacked on its own territory. i mean, the territory that it has taken in ukraine, it claims isn't territory, but i think actually any kind of military operations on russian soil are on think of both precisely because of the nuclear deterrent and struggle. sadly writes that actually, that makes this war. russia different kind of competent from a normal, conventionally armed stage,

consulting in many thanks again for being with us. so in matthews, there in rome, a group of roughly 100 ukrainian soldiers is sent to begin training on the patriot . and offense, miss our system. in the us, late last month, washington plans to provide the advanced missile defense system to ukraine to help counter russian air strikes. let's go live to washington. for more on that, my camera is there for us or mike, what more do we know? or the pentagon has confirmed that had training on the patriot missile system is about to begin. they wouldn't be drawn on the timeline how long the training is going to take or when exactly it is going to start. however, it is understood that a group suffering cranial soldiers are already on their way. now. it must be understood as well that a patron massage battery. 5 requires some 90 soldiers to man. so although the figure of $100.00 is being pushed around, it's likely to be higher than this for the battery to be continually operational.

in other words, you would need to teams of some 180. so it is rather than one team off 90. so this training we now understand is going to be happening. as i said, the duration we don't know when exactly it's going to start. we don't know what it does appear to be is that the training will take place in oklahoma, in the fort sol, army base. this is the home, off the very american field artillery school. so that will be on the us base in oklahoma. we understand how we will hopefully get more details from the pentagon. in the course of the day. i'm 0 my counter their lives at the white house in washington. many thanks, mike. here with arrears, are from out a 0 still to come on the program. ah, at least 17 people die and peruse worse der violence since protests began demanding the release of the jailed form of president on them and find out why scientists say

the holy ozone layer is shrinking and in sport, austell son of a mouth watering tie of the next round of the f, a couple details coming up later in the ah ha zillow's president has criticized the army for not doing enough to stop supporters of his predecessor storming the nation's seats of power. luis ignacio ignacio. lulu de silva accused the general's, if not standing up to the protest, us who are allowed to camp outside military headquarters in brazil. yet the president made the comments during a meeting with governors where he also promised to punish those responsible for sundays attack. at least one of the half 1000 people have been arrested so far. every one here is aware of the amount of people that were tortured for not agreeing with the military regime. and now the people are freely calling for

a crew in front of the military headquarters, and none of them have done anything. no general stood up to say, this can't happen. it's forbidden to ask for about. it gives the impression that there were people who liked it when the people were calling for a crew and brazil's largest city. so paula, thousands of people rallied in defense of democracy and to show their anger at sunday's attack. our latin america editor lucille newman, was there the 1st public response to a very public attempt to undermine brazil's democratic institutions. many thousands of people gathered. and so paolo, the countries most populous city to repudiate sundays assault on the presidential palace supreme court, and congress buildings in the capitol, brazil. yeah. like almost everyone here. eliana blames former president jade ball. so nato, whom she believes was the mastermind of the attack. i mean, he must be jailed for all the things he's done in this country. he promoted militia

thieves the tax on the amazon black gays, and now beth, we won't let these fish as pass me back again. earlier police detained and began questioning more than $1500.00 global sonata activists suspected of taking part in the assault. the camp did set up months earlier, just a kilometers from the presidential palace has been demolish. they'd echoed bull scenarios, unfounded claims that electro fraud stole his re election last year or, or the all but as a whole, the justice minister says the culprits were hoping to inspire a nation wide revolt, but failed in their attempt to overthrow president lulu desilva had been sworn in just a week earlier. most of them is all to copy all of those a little. we witnessed a brazilian version of the u. s. capital building attack, but with 2 differences for no one died. and secondly, we have more people under arrest here than in the us and very quickly the

investigation into who financed and lead the rage is just beginning. i bought a job, right. and since yesterday, we believe many big business interests paid for the buses to bring those coo mongers to priscilla instead of camps. those businessman needs investigated and punished ah, demonstrators here also wanted to show that the president is not alone. they are swinging the famous name, rob, willing really imprisoned with mattel. they're also saying that they will not tolerate an amnesty meridian. those people are already been written. they are calling terrorism numbers, but the data from an if this isn't for example, there's no possibility of extra guiding. the former president fernando from the united states, where he is right now because he hasn't been charged with anything, at least not yet. whether the newly installed president of latin america's largest democracy will be strengthened or weakened by the m as of entered attack is still

far from clear. lucy, a newman, al jazeera, so powerful the binding administration in washington is facing pressure from within its own party to expel jaya boston aro, a former brazilian president has been in florida for 2 weeks and was taken the hospital with abdominal pain on monday. that's reportedly related to a near fatal stabbing that he suffered during the 2018 election campaign. although boston aro, has denied inciting sundays attack on brazil's congress. some us democrats want his diplomatic visa revoked. let's go live now to plan out a palace in brasilia al jazeera monica yaki for is said, the more damage we understand has come to light. monica said, sir sunday's attack. tell us about that. ah, yes. well, 3 electrical towers were also attacked in 2 states. when in the north, on by now, when in the south, but are now all so we were told that intelligence,

our people knew that buses full of supporters of table sonata were ready to come to brazil. here on sunday, the day that the 3 buildings were attacked, the supreme court congress and the presidential palace where we are now standing. and that has practically no windows because they've all been shattered. so what that the main blame is being now besides laying the blame on both went out for inciting hatred and disrespect for institutions during his only term as president there also laying the blame on the government of brazilian. now what we just recently spoke to are the president of the minister of institutional affairs audition, 30 by jeter. he gave a press conference for the international media and he was saying that the federal

government was fast to act to contain this one of the things they did. a was last, the president bullet signed a decree of federal intervention in brazil, the capital. what does this mean? this means that the governor is no longer responsible for brazilian. a federal inter venture is taking care of the situation. now in the meeting with governors. 27 governors that lot met last night. he said everybody has to stand up for democracy and basically everybody pledged to do that. today. the senate also approved this decree that our declare stop federal intervention here in brazil. ya. so things are slowly getting back to normal that was sent out there as monica young kids lives. there it brazilian did monica. he was president joe biden,

canada's prime minister, just intruder, and mexico's president under as manuel lopez or border of met in mexico city there holding a conference as part of the north american leaders, summit trade drug trafficking and new us immigration policies are expected to dominate their discussions at john handled a study by for us at the us mexico border in el paso, texas. but 1st let's had to mexico city on the 0 to raise a bow. is that what realistically can we expect out of this meeting? teresa? while the president of the united states still biden and canadian prime minister just into have just arrived here to the presidential palace, they were greeted by mexican president and the race manuel. look forward to participate in this important meeting. the north america leaders comedy is also known as the 3 amigos summit, the friend summit,

the summit used to happen every year. it was suspended, while donald trump was empowered, was reinstated, want joe biden become president. so there's lots of issue on the agenda that are going to be discussed among them. economic integration in north america, strengthening the supply change of certain products like minerals, ships, electronic components, attempts to cut the dependency from a shock, climate change trying to make north america. fossil fuel power house, but also for example, the situation in haiti trying to address the instability that exists in have right now with a large part of the country that are being controlled by guns and massive insecurity across the carry be a nation. and this is something that's parked massive migration, thousands and thousands of people from haiti, from cuba, from nicaragua, from but if we are joining others and trying to make it to the united states, this is generated a crisis. there's been a surge of migrants trying to make it to the united states. and this is also going

to be an issue during the meeting, the other. there's also going to be other issues. we had to preview a bit of the tension that has existed, especially between the united states and mexico. fin monrai look forward to coffee back in 2018. a national left left wing that has been very critical of the united states has assisted interference of the united states in mexican point, if you see, did not attend. for example, the america found that that happened last year. so doing this bilateral meeting, local code or way of told joe biden, that there was not enough interest from the united states in the sweep done in the caribbean, in latin american general, that much more unique needed investment needed to happen in order to try to improve an attack the root causes of migration at the same time by dan said that mexico needed to do much more to stop the trafficking of drugs such as ben teneo that i killing thousands of people in the united states every year. and that much more

needs to be done. so there's lots of issues on the table that are going to be discussed. and later today there's going to be an announcement about what type of measures are going to be concretely. and now they try to tackle the problems that are affecting the part of the world from theresa bo and mexico city. let's cross to what john handled then. who's in el paso, texas. john, how much attention of people they're paying to? what's going on in mexico city? later and you heard teresa talk there about that conference focusing on the causes of immigration and on what they can do in the future to stop more people from trying to illegally cross those borders. that includes things like a portal, a web portal that the us, mexico and canada trying to develop to give people information where they are. i so that they don't have to necessarily just cross over illegally so that they can try to find a legal path. but for the people here on this street, adrian,

they are already here. they've already made their transition across that border. and i don't think there's a lot of hope that this international meeting is really going to affect them. they're more focused on us law and their immediate needs. you find men here on the streets of el paso waving down a construction vehicles pickup trucks asking for work perhaps in the construction industry, knocking on the windows of cars, including hours, asking people for work. so i think in terms of what they're looking for, they're looking really for more u. s. policy policy that would make their refugee status legal here in the united states. and it would also resolve the status of v 11000000 undocumented people who are already here in the united states. and that would all of that would require comprehensive immigration reform. that's something president biden has talked about for a long time, but he's been in office for 2 years and it took him until this weekend to come here

to el paso and take a look at what is happening on the border. and now that he's got a new house of representatives run by republicans, there's even less chance that he'll have some kind of control of this immigration reform that has been elusive for decades. so here on the street, people are more concerned with their immediate needs. and i don't think they to most of those we've talked to anyway, feel that there's really a lot of hope that help will come out of this meeting unless something unusual happened, such as canada offering to take people who are already refugees here on the streets of america, and transfer them to canadian soil and doesn't appear to be happening either else 0 as john hendrick, live in el paso, texas. many thanks. d john. at least 17 people have been killed in peru in the latest demonstrations demanding the resignation of president dana boulevard. have security forces confronted crowds as they tried to over on an airport in the southern city of uli aka marianna sanchez reports from lima. ah,

secuity forces confront protesters in the southern regional, who knew it? government says nearly 9000 demonstrators using homemade weapons and explosives, try to overrun the airport in the city of julio. security forces responded with live ammunition. it's the deadliest day in more than one month of violence across may do what are we going? you know, i was holding my camera when a police officer asked me to kneel while pointing a gun at me. then i heard a shot and felt my foot blocked. then i felt a cramp. i took 4 steps. i fell on the floor because i couldn't walk, official se ambulances were prevented from moving freely. a doctor was killed while assisting the wounded. and a 17 year old girl was shot and killed in the crossfire. hospitals are overflowing with some of the wounded in critical condition. if we go, i want to call the central government. how can we have so many? did people? tens of thousands of people have marched to demand the resignation of precedent.

dean of a lot of the markets have been looted brought clocked in. 25 provinces are on strike. some of the victims were bystanders hit by stray bullets are coming in of mine, but he was out walking with friend lives nearby and they went for a walk. and then as far as we know, a bullet hit him. ah, the government blames former precedent is august the year for the month long, the unrest years it won't be as well they, they sent me people who announced a crude, a ta from the same golden palace whose unduly, coordinating these mobilizations to seek impunity and to achieve what they didn't know how to achieve or were not allowed to achieve in defense of democracy. also, the answer is in jail. a steel was ousted in december after he tried to shut down congress an arrest. the prosecutor investigating him for a legit corruption with the violin spiraling, some members of parliament say they are unlikely to give the cabinet a vote of confidence on tuesday. further deepening the crisis,

the government has promised to restore peace, but many peruvians are unsatisfied. and they said they will take their demonstrations to the capital to demand that precedent. deed, i will learn the step down and new elections be held immediately. in a scientist i just eda lima china has taken its 1st retaliatory steps against countries imposing. covet 19 carbs on its travelers. it's suspended short term, baez's, the south korean and japanese citizens. they jing says the entry restrictions for chinese travelers are discriminatory. stovall ginger candy, regrettably, a few countries, still disregard science and facts and their own covered situation. they are imposing discriminated, entry, restrictions on china, china family reject these and will take reciprocal measures. we call and relevant

countries. we to best the measures i faxed and science and to take proportionate measures. we don't, we, the south korean governments strength in quarantine measures for travelers arriving from china are based on scientific and objective grounds. the government has been transparently sharing relevant information with the international community and has continued to communicate with china through diplomatic channels. log. let's get more now from katrina. you who's in beijing. this could go further in the future beyond south korea and japan. but so far this is really going to have a significant impact on all parties involved to south korea and japan. china is a top trading partner and south korea and japan. both have many businesses operating here that they will not be able to attend to in person. and that's going to hurt those businesses. and for china itself, it's no doubt going to impact china's orange bottom line. but the reason that china has decided to go forward with this is that south korea and japan have,

among other countries in the world, the strictest measures imposed on chinese travelers. coming here, coming from here to those countries for south korea and japan, they require that chinese passengers take not one, but to carve a test one before arrival, and one on arrival. and if people have found positive with coven 1900, they are required to take 7 days of quarantine at their own expense. and both governments have also all their own airlines not to expand flights from china. now the background through all of this is out on sunday, china began eating it's border restrictions opening up to the world. so that means that while carbon 1900 tests are still required to people coming in to china, mandatory quarantine at a government facility is not. and this has seen a surgeon booking from chinese travelers going all over the world. and countries around the world have responded really in 2 ways. life one, for example, it like thailand, they are extremely happy to welcome as many chinese tours as possible. but on the

other hand, a growing list of countries are very wary. so to come here, all the more measures, intro lanka, as the country struggles to confront the worst economic crisis in its history. and the voodoo festival in beneath the place widely considered to be the birthplace of the ancient ritual. than in support. a form, a dot com raleigh champion of system, continuing the rates despite the flipping car. details coming up. a good news is things are drawing off across the middle east. good to see you. thanks for joining in. but now the other side of the story is there is windsor picking up . so let's go in for a closer look. this is impacting the eastern province of saudi buffering. and cats are, i think wind gusts in doha, for example,

50 kilometers per hour. it's also bringing in fresh air to a high of 12 in riyadh on wednesday. weather is leaking into baluchistan province in pakistan, snow over the mountains in k p. k. rain, for as one will, bob, but up against the foothills of the himalayas. this of course will fall as no that's wednesday. why should happens on friday locked into bitter cold tashkent minus 26 degrees. the record for january is minus $28.00. so this could be record breaking stuff for a turkey. we've got rain stretching from the black sea right through to the mediterranean, i think for on talia a months worth of rain in 24 hours pop end of africa when mornings in play for the coast of libya. gust of about 60 kilometers per hour in a for that eastern side of the congo, there's been some deadly land slides here and still bursts of rain to go on wednesday. wind in south africa and your temperature is actually pretty well where they should be in cape town, but we do have some heat in the western interior of south africa.

ah, a with african narrative from african perspective. so bid from wanting a brochure defined to be a good for a new series of short documentary by african filmmakers from kenyan nigeria and rwanda. ma did not join our long talk somewhat conservation from about

joy in the traffic and feeding the gate, africa direct on just the oh oh oh, get avery in for the get a hearing. so how about the new south from al jazeera, the headlines fighting into ukraine's dawn bass region is intensifying. the british defense ministry says that it appears that russia has taken control of much of the salt mining town of sola dall. crane's military has been friending off attacks near the town for full day as the leaders of the us, canada, and mexico holding a trilateral summers of mexico city trade drug trafficking of u. u. s. immigration policies are expected to dominate the talks of brazil's

president luis, ignacio lula da silva, has criticized the army for not doing enough to stop supporters of giant boston storm innovations seats of power. he also promised to punish those responsible to sundays. a sobering report from the united nations shows 5000000 children died in 2021 before their 5th birthday. nearly half of those were infants who died within a month of being born children in africa. a disproportionately affected by high mortality rates, they are 15 times more likely to die, compare to those in europe or north america. the report shows most of the deaths are preventable, pneumonia and malaria are among the most common diseases, but a lack of proper health care is exacerbating the problem. use of a railway is a sexual and reproductive health program analyst for the you and population of funds. he joins us now live from johannesburg in south africa. why is it years of

that infant mortality seems to have passcode, i mean there hasn't been any improvement in these numbers since 2017. thank you very much for having me. indeed, it's very shocking to see that over to 1000000 of babies died before they had their 1st month of their life. but this, by despite the significant progress in reducing child mortality worldwide, there is a still a huge need back to godaddy in her and africa. for access, your majesty, i know, majesty up here. this is partly due to lack of investment in midwifery in terms of education, mentoring, providing a supportive environment and providing equitable service delivery to many meet you talk about this lack of investment. i mean, one reported factor in this terrible numbers is that midwives and nurses appear to be leaving the profession in droves because they're just not paid enough around the world. exactly. we have seen a high level where i'm

a midwife and other health care pro question on this is basically due to lack of support environment including education, mentoring and lacking lack of incentives globally. even now we have about $900000.00 short piece of midwives that are occurring worldwide. even more urgent in sub saharan africa. the risk of a woman having a stillborn baby in sub saharan africa is 7 times greater than for women in europe and both africa, premature above a complications during labor, the leading causes of neonatal death. i mean, what are the reasons for that a war can and should be done about this? so during my work as a clinical dr. asking 1st time the vital role of, of being i was having a skilled health care provider, including midwife, they provide kill imagination. can which lead to better health outcome and reduce

the child mortality and child death and even improve the health and well being of whether it is estimated. in fact, about 90 percent of the 6 sort of collective health services can be provided by our educated and supportive midwife. this is why it is very important for companies to put more resources to put more effort in actually to try the strengthening mickey with which will lead to better health outcome and use child mortality. good to talk to yourself many thanks to day. let's hope those figures get better very soon yourself. raleigh, the in johannesburg. and people in shaw anchor have been struggling with daily power cups and shortages of fuel food and medicine for months now. president rodeo with chrome singer has pledged to restore economic stability. but as warned, but reforms will be painful, but i'll fernandez reports. this is a rare sight in chill anchors present economic crisis. new hires for the railway

department. the government had frozen recruitment and lowered the retirement age to 60, across the public sector in order to save money. but some like so me the, so my ratner says, this is not the way rogers here, gabby, shower york, if states sector workers retire the pension, have to be paid a salary when they're working on contract and over time must also be paid. but whereas if they're given an extension, the government will have to pay just one salary. the retirement rule forced over 20000 workers out of their jobs on december 31st, sending ripples across the country. dozens of trains were cancelled and the health sector was thrown into chaos with some hospitals reportedly losing their entire staff of specialists. meanwhile, government plans to increase electricity prices for a 2nd time in 5 months have been met with stiff resistance from regulators. me with an hour back even here. now, if the proposal increase, electricity comes from the cabinet. we are ready to nullify and reject it at

a time. we are seeing malnutrition, and unemployment and similar problems. we don't believe that is a time for an increase. the government is determined to go ahead with the hike, consulting the attorney general about how it can proceed without the commission's approval. rate hikes and painful cuts to government spending are required to secure a $2900000000.00 bailout from the international monetary fund. experts say it is a vital lifeline for shall anchor as it struggles to confront worst economic crisis in its history. dian with guidance is very important to us. yes, it's going to mirror very painful for a short period. but if we had all water, all this up in 4th period, if we don't want roderick these decisions and make adjustments and reforms to our fiscal policy, i believe the situation in sri lanka wouldn't get worse um than what we experienced

in march. april may, june, period prison. dr. dickerson, who previously served his prime minister during the height of the economic crisis, is keen to show he's in control residing over the 1st working day of the new year. for decades, successive governments have implemented popular measures such as subsidizing fuel and electricity keeping interest low and filling the public sector with political appointees. all of this has created a massive financial burden and reducing that expenditure as part of a series of conditions to secure. and i'm, if bailout is not proving easy. minette fernanda oder 0 colombo, the ozone last shields life on earth from dangerous radiation. it had been seriously damaged by pollution, but now scientists say that it could soon make the recovery tension model hun reports and invisible barrier protecting us from the sun,
