whatever dean was offered to them, they have to sign because if they didn't aid wouldn't get in frank assessments. do you think diplomacy still stands a chance? i'm not very up to about any kind of negotiation informed opinions. everybody tweets. everybody's on tick, tock, tick, tock, doesn't boat. you have to, we were already in a winter. it's going to have a whole there pretty soon. inside story of al jazeera. ah, which is here. when ever you all

an austin forces join hands with a mercenary group to step up a tax on the strategic ukrainian town of soda in the east. ah. on monday, inside the sound, is there a lie from joe hall also coming up? pieris government announces an overnight curfew in the country, se off the deadly such and political violence kills more than a dozen people. migration trade and climate change dominate the summits of the 3 north american leaders in mexico and terrorism charges against an austrian professor, egyptian argent. i'll drop to following an al jazeera investigation. ah, hello and welcome russian forces have stepped out there sold on

a small sold mining town in the east of the country, where the help of a group of must and race. the wagner groups chief says they have surrounded solid dos, city center, ukraine's president says the area has been flattened. it's near the city of bar moot, where troops on both sides have suffered heavy losses. ukraine says its forces have been holding on in buck mood to spot mumps if attacks. meanwhile, rush has been conducting naval drills in the norwegian. c. it says it's frigates is armed with a hypersonic missile capable of evading weston edge offenses. tell strafford house the very latest from keith 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 soley dog in the past. so one can only 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 as of style plants in mariel pool was months ago, remains to be seen. let's take a closer look at russia's wagner group. the private power and military force was established in 2014 after moscow amex crimea. the group is founded by the russian businessman, you're going to have pre gozine, who is close to president vladimir putin. he also has occasion business and was once called peach, and chef the wagner grape lucretia, russian prisoners suffice in crane, promising that they would be free men when they return. if they survive the war and examine the title of a russia unless in lecture at queens university, belfast explains how the wagon group is managed to strengthen its presence in ukraine. there is a lot of tensions and competition when russian army in security forces between

each other. and gordon has established himself as a person who is distinct by the fact that he is group. i'm when you say group, we're talking about tens of thousands of man equipped with most modern weapons, including $290.00 tanks, aircraft chiller, and so forth. i actually the only ones who able to continue to advance against the grading army in buffalo and sort of our area when i everywhere else in carousel new car of roches was this way. retreat and now here haven't been at it for many weeks a month off, one of the on the cost of seemingly overrunning a very important strategic subject on. so it's a big winnable progression himself as well as for russia more generally, they always been very closely linked with russian armed forces and with russian security forces, usually that we used will,

things which of the official russian forces didn't want to be a can seem to be doing, for example, in syria, in other parts of africa where the, where the rating, but essentially they are and joined the hip with the, with the russian security forces in russian army general. and if you look at the level of the equipment and military of things to have with them, as i said, including planes and so forth. and it's not just here, it was all saying them in libya and so forth. you know, you see the basic is, are an official army, but basically this t o are very much more part of the ah, putins also know more generally, but understand precautions obviously in charge of it. and for him, it is extremely important to show that he is the one capable of winning when everybody else is losing on the russian side. meanwhile, about a 100 ukrainian soldiers a set to begin training on the patriot missile defense system. in the us,

late last month, washington pledge to provide the advance system to ukraine to help counter rush, no strikes my kind of smoke from the white house. they wouldn't be drawn on the timeline, how long the training is going to take. when exactly it is going to start. however, it is understood that a group suffering cranium. soldiers are already on the way now. it must be understood as well that a hatred 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 change the 180 soldiers rather than one team of 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. so

army base, this is the home of the american field off hillary school. so that will be on the u . s. base in oklahoma. we understand we will hopefully get more details from the pentagon. had to stay from the u. s. canada and mexico held a wide ranging talks at the north american leaders summit, u. s. president joe biden. canada's justin trudeau on the mexican president under emanuel lopez open a door have been meeting in mexico city. they have discuss regional cooperation on matters, including trade, immigration, and drug trafficking. as gates of manual report has been following the summit and joins is for mexico city. look, just looking at live pictures there. of the 3 lead is giving a press conference in the last hour or so. has anything concrete come out of this summit manual? get a 1000000, i'm looking over here, peaking over at the monitor,

noticing that this press conference is still going on. the north american leader summit did conclude this press conference going a little bit longer than we were expecting it to. i would argue that so far, what we've heard from the 3 world leaders of from canadian prime minister justin trudeau, president biden, and president lopez over the board of mexico has lacked a lot of specificity that we were hoping to hear. there was quite a bit of mutual praise between the 3 world leaders, their tone, certainly on a number of topics ranging from border security multilateral security strategy to curb weapons trafficking, to curb human trafficking, to the curb, the trafficking of drugs moving back and forth between the us mexico border all of that seem positive. all of that seemed very optimistic at one point president lope is over a lot of mexico actually praise president biden for being quote, the 1st president in a long time to not build a single meter of border wall. so certainly the question of migration, this unprecedented search of migrants, particularly from countries like but it's willa. we got our haiti and q,

but making their way to the u. s. southern border was a brightened center at this international summit. but we should mention that this is a massively important regional, some in the 3 countries, mexico, canada, united states. this is the north america is one of the most important trading blocks in the world. so the batter street that he can amik ties a building on promoting trade was certainly also a big pillar of the talks that took place here in mexico city. we should also mentioned that there was a little point of tension ahead of the summit. this more or less based off of the accusations that mexico was skirting its obligations under the us, canada, mexico, free trade agreement, or u. s. m ca. but as many of us expected, the leaders focused more on areas where there is common ground, more or less ignoring these disputes over mexico's energy policy over mexico to ban genetically modified corn from the united states. topics that could distract from

the more pressing issues, such as the ongoing migrant crisis at the border. one thing concrete that we did here more so from the bilateral meeting that we, that took place between president biden president lope is over. the board is a new a policy ship by the united states when it comes to migrants from those 4 countries that we mentioned. $30000.00 migrants who will be accepted by mexico every month. these are migrants that have been expelled from the united states after crossing illegally across the border into the united states. the united states will also be issuing visa 30 as many as $30000.00 visas every month. the united states also announced that more resources would be allocated to southern mexico to continue this sort of unofficial policy of containing migration in the southern part of mexico. preventing these large waves of migration for moving north toward the us mexico border. but again, the press conference looking over here of beyond my producer shoulder, i notice is still going out a little bit later than many of us were expecting to. but again, still lacking

a lot of the specificity that we were that we were hoping to get in terms of concrete announcements. concrete agreements, president biden, will now be returning to the airport. this part of his trip is now over, but prime minister just introduce canada will be spending one more night here in mexico holding a bilateral meeting with president lope is over a lot of mexico on wednesday. i believe. thank you for that manual report for us in mexico city. peruse government has approved an overnight care for you in the south eastern region all to know on the 17 people killed during anti government demonstrations on monday. for most vaughn and day since purchase began in december, following the arrest of the former president, head ro, kasteel, is suppose, is all demanding early elections on the resignation of the current president. dina will want a body. sanchez has more from lima. the lawmaker just told me a little while ago that he's very sure that is the prime minister,

will give the vote of confidence from lawmakers here. but it wasn't, you see from the star because the left wing will makers, when, when a better law walked into the chambers, they shouted at him, murderer, then they did not allow him to speak. they took the floor and presented the pictures. the photos of many of the of the victims died yesterday in flashes with security forces in the city of pool. and also he confirmed that the 18th person died yesterday. he is a police officer who was attacked by a mob and burns a car. well, the prime minister spoke during his presentation about what is going on in the country. he announced a curfew of from a pm to 4 am in to know for 3 days. for sale,

which was storm during sundays. protests were standing in the 2nd floor of the presidential palace in brasilia. these, this window has been broken. it was one of the many windows that were destroyed during the attack on sunday, not only to this palace, but also to the supreme court and congress. now the president of brazil works up there on that floor to day. he was holding regular meetings. it was the 1st day of normality here which was not so normal because as you can see, people are fixing everything. there are many, many windows that are broken, but the most important thing that lula said, and he stressed this to the 27 governors that he met the night before. is that although the buildings have been shattered, the institutions have resisted. he attended cool. so this is the ramp where the

president or lula came up to the palace on the day that he was sworn and right in front of it is the supreme court building that was also destroyed during the attack of sunday ruler will have that his 1st priority was to unite at least all the governors, the supreme court justices, and congress to defend democracy. and this has strengthened him politically. but his now his main challenge will be to unite a very, very divided country. and he will start his trips abroad on the 23rd of this month, where he is going to argentina to participate in the summit of the community of latin american states and the caribbean. and then from there he will go to europe wipe. and later on he will meet later on this month or early next month. he will meet with you as president joe biden. still has own al jazeera confrontation

. hafez is best known for an annual report into european some a phobia and as one of the founders of the austrian muslim youth association and varied half as now joins us now from williamstown in massachusetts. he's a professor of international studies at georgetown university's bridge initiative. thank you for speaking to us. how does it feel to hear that the charges have been dropped? melinda, 1st of all, for having me here. yeah, i feel much better. you know, it has been more than 2 years now. were i lived in a, in a kind of in limbo in a situation where i never knew would, would the judges go ahead and, and really filed charges on which i did not believe it anytime any point of time. but you know, i could also not believe that such a rate could happen on that these allegations would even have been raised by any

kind of a prosecutor, the 1st place. so you never know in such a situation where an incredible amount of, of investigation has been made and baseless allegations were made to even allow for such a huge rate in the 1st, please tell us, hello, tell us about that. right? it happened in your home. you will with your family. what exactly happened? right. like me alongside a 69 out of saucepan suspects the house, the private houses and homes were rated at 5 o'clock in the morning. our kids were traumatized. special. busy forces broke through my windows through my front door, and my bank account is frozen, my assets are frozen. i was became basically as one of the most well known person that was affected. i became kind of the picture the,

the public image of this operation. and, and i was standing there, you know, in the title time of the pen damage were social networks did not play out any way like a normal times and people were intimidated. and that was a very troublesome situation where it was even difficult for a lot of those people who were affected to so why, since our bank accounts were frozen, you cannot even like, continue your normal life. some people lost their jobs. i. after one year, i left the austria and went to the united states, where i'm now a professor international studies, and there are people whose, whose economic pages were like destroyed. why do you think you, the others were targeted by authorities welder? i would argue that there are like 2 groups who were affected on the 1st hand, and that's how the whole operation, which basically started one and

a half years prior to the rage, why it was even started that affected the group of people who were protesting the gypsy regime. all right, so that was mostly 1st generation egyptian and also the era. busy community members, and then there was a 2nd group that was affected a couple of months, including myself, who were included in that investigation which were known for the outspoken critique of the austrian authoritarian anti muslim discrimination. like closing up mosques, the job benway and his job with them and so on and so forth. so there's a number of different people who were involved, different forces at different times, who i think gotten like, invested in that kind of operation. and obviously for me and my case, and this is what the 1st ruling of the of the regional court said. it was because

they reframed my islam of phobia studies, my critique off status level 4 in austria as a form of terrorism. and the allegation that was written in the, in the search warrant was basically that 1st of all, we would want to destroy a top of the egyptian regime. and then we would want to create a world wide caliphate, destroy israel, and the major jerusalem, the capital of all of this, so called new calories, all of that very much like in shame, out of the blue allegations with no basis substantial. so substantial evidence at all, but i think for, at least for me, it was very clear that the idea was basically to intimidate and silence any kind of critique. these are the austrian muslim

a discrimination against muslim people for a half hours. i'm a fight of run out of time, but thank you for sharing your story with us for a half as a professor of international studies at georgetown university bridge initiative. austria's supreme court just dropping a terrorism case against at this well known professor. thank you. thank you. is ready, border guards forwards with a group of palestinians who had gathered to protest against the demolition of a house in the occupied westbank for any force. his use tear gas to dispatch the crowds in a village west. if so, fits, house was demolished, israel's government says it was built without a permit that now a pacific storm continues to bass a california day after flooding in mud slide rest. 4th evacuation of thousands of people. the 16 people have been killed since last week. more than $34000000.00 are
