7:03 pm
a ronald reagan national airport outside of washington were seen about one in 3 flights having delayed some 53 flights have been cancelled thus far. which potentially could have been much worse given that just a couple hours ago, there was a complete round stop on all flights domestic within the united states. due to that apparent computer glitch that we've been learning about from the federal aviation administration. this was in a system that is critical or safety briefings the most up to date information on flight paths and runway conditions, et cetera that pilots look at right before they take off. and for some reason that is still being investigated. that system failed overnight at now. apparently it has been brought back online, but these repercussions were still see an old i just spoke with one gentleman who is hoping to get to his wife today, who he hadn't seen for 5 months. and he said he was fearful because he did not want
7:04 pm

7:05 pm
judge, he is expecting an update on that. we are understanding that there may be an update further in the coming hours in the united states because there is going to need to be an investigation exactly what went wrong. the system that seem to have this glitch, if you will, is the not have system. this is the notice to air missions. it essentially provides in real time the information the pilots need in the air taking off and landing critical, obviously. because this is the providing the hazards that are necessary for the pilots to do their job. and this is what failed. and this is what a centrally the president says, allowed plains to land, but not to take off. and so that is what prompted this complete ground stop. and although flights have now resumed, this interrupted flights and not just in the united states, but all around the world. and so this is something that cannot be taken lightly.
7:06 pm
this is something that is of a major security concern because not only is this a national security issue, but this also has enormous economic impact as well. kimberly, how can i live in a while so many thanks for that or at least 21 people who have been killed in a suicide explosion in the african capital. kabul, the, the foreign ministry office that doesn't more people have been injured. the boss reportedly happened to in a chinese delegation, was meeting with the taliban, that the foreign ministry police in germany's north west northwestern village of loose or atha evicting climate activists to allow the expansion of an open pit coal mine. the causes rejected the protest this request to stay in police have started removing them more than 1000. protesters have been camped and loops around since sunday step wanston has more. it's an enormous operation on going here in the village of flutes of hat from the very early morning. hundreds of police officers
7:07 pm
stormed into the village. there was a lot of chaos. there was a lot of pushing, some activists got injured. and now you can see that the more specialized forces have come in because some of the activists have caged themselves in here in this structure here, behind me, you see that cranes are being used. and one by one, they are being taken out out of the structures, but also out of their barricades. the barricades have also been very thoroughly been demolished now by workers from police also from the energy company r w e. who owns the mine here that has to be expanded according to the government. and the government says, due to the energy shortages, we need this mind. we need this call because the german government is very reluctant to use nuclear energy at the moment and has decided not to use any more energy from russia. so, but the climate act of his say at this is the time to stop using call to start more

7:09 pm
don't know if it, all of them. another 2 great influences leaders dominated previously dominated ethiopian military and politics for all my. when the conflict began between them and the government of prime minister abbey, i'm just david 2 years ago. they defected with a substantial fraction of the military that were loyal to them. now the peace agreement that was signed in south africa and also 2nd agreement signed here in kenya's capital nairobi, stated the weapons were handed over. the federal government forces should withdraw from the great and same time in foreign forces. should all say we've drawn out access is still heavily restricted to great, difficult to verify the claim that humanitarian access has opened up a bit in recent weeks. and tech li gabrey. michael is an activist and associate editor of to got a website, the documents crimes,
7:10 pm
and to explain why the crime rebels agree to disarm and they have to accept what they what has been put to them now is the trickling of a exchange. the total disarmament. ready is the only posted, not protecting the tracking, but again it be bought by every sample and they now immense amount of suffering, right? in terms of trying to get them to go basic necessities for medicine. one thing understood right, people are simply desperately hoping that the chapel and the community we learn some sort of a with, with trickling so much that people could play around with now they have to simply succumb to whatever demand of them and hope that something would happen no one
7:11 pm
knows what's going to happen to the members of the spec because forces. so it could be agreement funding in africa to include likely in i will be it that there would be what they call an demobilization. and the read the question. so they have agreed that they will be really great into the apartment if you've gotten better, better unlike any men, the officer guy would find the idea of joining the fairy forces, re tens of thousands of the van woman that they would join into that. so i don't see that, i mean they talk reintegration would be different pulses. the whole piece of breaking news right now. russia has appointed a new commander,
7:12 pm
the combined forces in ukraine, and as the russian forces, chief of staff for levy grass him off, the defense ministry has said the appointment to increase the effectiveness of managing its military in ukraine. of course, we'll bring you more on that as we get it. and ukraine says the fighting over the east and towns of back moves and solid. dar are the bloodiest battles of the war. so far. russian forces led by mercenaries from the wagner group have been trying to seize control of the area for months. moscow says its unit serv cut off access to solid are but ukraine denies. the salt mining town has fallen. russia media is released these images of wagner, lady of guinea pig, goes in inside the mines. kia says the pictures were stage. natasha butler has more from the ukrainian capital. the russian defense mystery saying that airborne russian airborne units have surrounded the town from the north and the south. earlier we heard of from the head of the russian mercenary, agree,
7:13 pm
wagner yevgeny proportion. who said that his fighters had taken control of the city even posted a photograph of himself alongside some of his troops saying he was in one of the town soap minds. well, that certainly has not been confirmed or verified. but what we do know is that the ukrainian defense officials are saying none of this is correct. they are saying the ukrainian forces are still fighting in the air. in fact, one top military official said fighting between ukrainian forces and russians was intense. he compared it to battles in a world war 2. it is a very difficult situation on the ground. we know that. and in the past few days, though, british officials from the ministry of defense have indicated that it's all a dog could indeed, perhaps fall into russian hands shortly. now if that was to happen from the russian perspective, it would certainly be something of a fig tree of bracken field gain,

7:15 pm
very vocal about. it's a stance against the russian invasion of ukraine, a, but also to kia has provided a weapons like drones, arm phones, turkish may drones to crane, but also managed to mediate within the country. and that's why this position of turkey as a balancing factor has been appreciated. by most of the circles, especially at the time when true care lost credibility and international every now has a strange relations with the west. even with nato, as a strong member of nato. turkey has very hard statements against the, against the started score, the, the infrastructure of nato. but after this mediation effort, especially after the grain deal that was initiated by the united nations, took care found itself a very secure position here without 0 still ahead tell you why thousands of
