ah. here watching the news, our live from a headquarters in dough. hi, i'm debbie navigator coming up in the next 60 minutes. a 2nd set of classified documents from jo biden's time as vice president has been found that has previous office and washington d. c. ukraine says it's holding the line against the fierce russian offensive, but warns the situation in the eastern town of salazar is difficult is really forces shoot a palestinian man near at our mom law, the 3rd palestinian killed in the occupied westbank in 24 hours. sir lincoln's former president, cirrus sent us fines by the supreme court for failing to prevent the 2019 easter sunday attacks. and in sport, australia's cricketer is pull out of playing afghanistan because of the taliban stance on women and girls. ah,
6:02 pm
welcome to the news our we begin with u. s. media reports that aids to president joe biden have found more classified documents at a private location. it comes off to the white house confirmed earlier this week. the department of justice is reviewing a number of other classified papers found that president biden's, former office, biden's attorneys, discovered the records in november at the pen biden's center, a think tank near the white house. the new documents were found at a different location. our white house correspondent kimlee hawkins, is joining us now from washington d. c. for more on the story. so what more do we know about these reports that a 2nd group of documents has not been found? kimberly yet, well we know that this is a white house that is really trying to contain this story, but it is one that is continuing to row as it tries to tamp down the questions to
6:03 pm
white house on defense with the discovery of this 2nd batch of documents, particularly as the white house tries to kind of shy away from the timeline of the 1st discovery of these documents coming before the congressional elections back in november. and i have questions about why this was only revealed recently given the fact that this could have had an impact on the outcome of those congressional elections. and so the white house is insisting that they have done everything they needed to do that. the white house council has complied that they've turned this over to the national archives in the u. s. president joe biden ris, part says he doesn't even know what these documents contain, but then it's not sitting well with his republican critics who are saying that this is really exposing, potentially as the use of sources and methods of intelligence documents. and also. 2 exposing hypocrisy on the part of the president, given the fact that he really pointed the finger at his predecessor,
6:04 pm
former president donald trump, for his a miss handling of classified documents. joe biden, calling donald trump totally irresponsible for the way he handled classified document rain. so speaking of trump, i mean, it wasn't long ago. kimberly that the former president was being criticized after papers were found that his maryland go home. so what's the difference here? well, a law legal experts say that there is a major difference and that is a, in the turning over of these documents. the fact that when they were discovered by the bite and team they were immediately surrendered. where in contrast to donald trump, there was a need to get a subpoena in order to retrieve these documents and that they say is a vital difference. in other words, there could be of charges or prosecution of obstruction of justice on the part of the former president. and so this is what donald trump faces. in fact,
6:05 pm
in many cases, the discovery of these documents now on the part of joe biden could only emphasize the serious nature of the case involving the former president and lead to more likelihood that he would be charged for obstruction of justice. all right, thank you. so much kimberly hawkins reporting from the white house. the ukraine says its forces are still holding onto the eastern on a solider, but the fighting is tough. the russian mercenary wagner group has led the offensive and says it sees the town will get more on the wagner group in a report from dr. hamid's in a moment. but the kremlin has been warning against declaring victory prematurely suggesting the fighting is not over. ukraine has said the battles in this area have been some of the bloodiest in the war so far. she is
6:06 pm
face in the solid direction the most to spot the difficult situation. ukrainian soldiers, desperately fighting. russia is trying to break through our defense lines without any luck to capture solid, all, and the enemy has high losses. the earlier outside the city is covered with the bodies of persians, troops, the russians a moving over their own corpses. on the battle for a solid r, a salts mining town in the dumbass region could decide the fate of the neighboring town of charles stratford has more from outside, but in eastern ukraine were about 5 kilometers outside of buff move solid hours around 10 kilometers in that direction, i'm not sure whether you're going to be able to pick this audio up, but there's a lot of heavy sharing going on all around this area. we in the last few minutes as well heard heavy machine gun fire. this is checkpoint very close to us as well. we
6:07 pm
would prevent you from going any further towards that checkpoint. seems as if they're only allowing the military through i was a 2 and a half 3 months ago. and it's fair to say that the situation has dramatically changed since day, and i mean, we used to go down this road and into back moot, then it is a lot louder, a lot more heavy shelling than then we've actually been speaking to soldiers this morning who beat inside buck mood and asking them about the situation in both moot and solid. they said to us that russian forces were in the center of solely door. they said that they were in control of that salt mine. they described russian tanks in the center of solid r as well. they said that they were concerns for we have studies there. there are concerns among the ukrainian forces about possible escape routes for the ukrainian
6:08 pm
forces inside solid. all he said they were trying to do was protect a western root out of the town. we've been speaking to some of the soldiers behind his head this in this vehicle. these people have been getting ready to evacuate soldiers out of bar moods. they say that there is still a lot of civilians inside, but we also how many civilians they were inside solid. all he estimated around $500.00 civilians still inside sorted as the fighting goes on. wagner mercenaries have been on the front lines of the conflicts and this part of the eastern ukraine hooked up to me. it takes a closer look at the group and its role in this war and elsewhere. it's a small mining town, one that could represent the 1st military breakthrough for russia in months. but the full front of the battle is the wagner group. a private military army fineness and equipped by to russian government is leader is the of gainey, pre gozine,
6:09 pm
a former convict, and close ally of president vladimir putin. he was recently seen in the so lines of solid are well this is j promotions. like ship military mission. it's in backward cylinder. and you, jennifer goshen is locked currently in a shadow war against the russian defense minister. telegram channels are describing survey i give. he's also flashing with that regional governors legacy, petersburg governor, as under bad law. and he's rumored half political aspiration is of his own. private military armies, uncles to chew, show in russia. but the wagner group has grown to become an informal, an unofficial unit of the regular russian army. that the wagner group 1st appeared during the annexation of crimea in 2014, in 2015 about 300 fighters were sent to the dumbass to support the russian backed separatists. the group has also operated in places like syria, central african republic, libya and malley,
6:10 pm
among others. initially about 300 wagner contractors took part in the invasion of ukraine in february 2022. their mission, according to ukraine and western officials, capture and killed president vladimir zelinski by march. their presence had triple to 1000. and the pentagon currently estimates at least $50000.00 fighters operating an eastern ukraine, of which only $10000.00 r contractors. the remaining 40000 are convicts. russia initially called the invasion as special military operation that would quickly achieve the kremlin schools. but it's told and russia had to rethink its military strategy. that's when the role of this private army became more prominent in easton ukraine with the support of the regular hon howitzers. they could relate as they usually i sent some kind of or educational i'm responsibility ah,
6:11 pm
russian regular army usually control after aerotech, marseilles, us an edition, and our, our, this fucking group, our eyes use a special ah, units or soldiers or no possess falls a stormy or some of her, ah, defense, orange will fall. now ukrainian the group also enjoys the legal loophole which allows its mercenaries to operate more freely. they are glorified in a recently released movie, funded by the group called the best in hell. even though the wagner group has been accused of human rights abuses in several countries, it operates in. what if solid are falls, it will be to wait for the russian army to head south towards back, moot and west towards chroma torque. it will also likely increase the popularity of de wagner's group among russians for de,

6:16 pm
a lot of free houses left at some have been demolished already had this house is not also been demolished by police a few 100. maybe it's sorry, i'm unclear to say how many are still here, but they're holding up as well in the houses that remained from this little village . it was a village that around a 100 people many and most of the rest and all the rest of them. i have to say have left a while ago because the energy company, w e, had basically compensated them. there were a long legal battle, but they lost all these legal battles. but a 1000 climate activists had moved in here for the last 2 years to have the base here they had the community here. so we've been speaking to them all day and they're in a very sad condition right now because their whole community is be basically been torn down. and this is not, of course, the main problem. the main problem is that the mind that they were protesting against which is right behind us is going to be expanded very soon now. all right,
6:17 pm
so thank you so much stuff us and for that update syndrome and the largest known deposit of rare earth minerals in europe has just been discovered in sweden's arctic. so a mining company says its identified more than 1000000 tons near one if its iron or mines in corona rare earth minerals are vital for things like the constructions of electric cars and portable electronics like microphone and speaker is. and right now, europe is dependent on imports from china. let's bring in the ceo of iron or producer l k. be your most room. he's joining us from corona in sweet and good to have you with us. thanks for joining us on the al jazeera news. our how significant is this find? i will say is quite significant. one thing is that we can, you don't defy quite large deposit of this material here inside
6:18 pm
the european union to mansion. the materials will be vital for the electrification rate, but work i understand it is still in its exploratory phase. so are you aware of the full extent of the find right now? no, actually not. but we have it done by now is a part of. ready the pulse that the board will have it done defy this quite large but we will continue. will our expiration activities in the parallel. ready with that, we will continue with the, the polls to develop bit into hopefully producing mine is that's a little too early to celebrate. because i also understand that you said that it could take at least 10 to 15 years before you actually begin to mine. the deposit and start shipping to market act live. what i said is if we all
6:19 pm
proceed according to to standards. ready of how we. ready conduct environmental apartments as of today than what it will take roughly about time. but, but we have an ongoing dialogue both with the union and with the swedish government is how to find ways to, to decrease those time frames as to perhaps are aware of this. the european commission barking with the critical raw material lag, which actually will. ready will will focus on these issues. how can we bring in domestic mine based material, falster, in, within the union. right. and the range, of course here at least has been depending on imports from elsewhere, from countries like china. so to what extent do you think this could help europe move away from china? the china is the dominance i. it's earliest earliest stage but
6:20 pm
the given the volumes as we have it today. it could bring in significant good volume of material needed within europe. not nearly to be self sufficient, but it's of course, the important step. all right, young master on thank you so much for speaking to us from sweeter lebanon's hire judicial council has failed to appoint an alternate judge in the bay route port explosion of 2020. the move was a win for victims, families who have been demanding justice for nearly 3 years. but a zenato reports the battle is not over as the investigation remains blocked i. they won this round, but families of the more than $200.00 victims of the explosion at fable port are far from achieving the justice they demand. 7 it's been nearly 3 years since one of the largest non nuclear blasts in recent history. and lebanon's leadership has been
6:21 pm
standing in the way of accountability, trying to replace the judge before a judge that is politically automated with a gun for recalls. so it's a big we do, we will know that they managed to do so. the case of the board was just, you know, it's gone so far, the authorities haven't been able to appoint a 2nd judge. every judge in dead must know that if the cautions of them are contributing to the divergence and to the covering of justice. but officials have blocked the investigation for more than a year. now, they have filed lawsuit against the lead investigator thought it better preventing him from proceeding with his investigation. it has been established that officials
6:22 pm
as high up as the president were aware of the presence of highly exposed material as a port warehouse and did nothing about it. an investigation by human rights organizations concluded that multiple authorities work at a minimum criminally negligent many hearsay. the answer lies in an international investigation which authorities have repeatedly rejected the international community and human rights should. i mean, how long would they raise? a height here is normal and it will be borman forever. if nothing come from outside, it's been a long battle for families who are up against a political and security establishment in a country with a culture of impunity. then they're also 0 beta sri lanka, former presidency in order to pay damages for failing to prevent the 2019 easter

6:28 pm
trend will continue. storms also along the mississippi river valley dragon in cooler air in behind it. so houston drops off to 18 degrees and because most of the energy is being sucked up through the gulf of mexico, fairly quiet for central america, few showers. but i think more in the way of sunshine here, a landside in the southwest of columbia, his displaced hundreds of people in that line of storms extends right into the southeast of brazil. so far, so paulo and rio de janeiro, weather alerts in play here real janeiro could see a months worth of rain over 48 hours. and we have quite that soaking and commodore river dab via but mostly cloudy on thursday, with a high of 20 degrees c later. ah . the witness inspiring films from around the world. they shall not stop the violin and killed the power is, bears witness intimate portraits and epic struggles. because leadership is also

6:30 pm
a hello again. the top floor is just our us meeting are reporting aids to president job. i didn't have found more classified documents at a private location. the department of justice is reviewing a number of other classified papers founder biden's, former office. german police are back in the village of flute seraphs, where they're continuing to climate activists for 2nd day. protesters don't want the village to be demolished to make way for the expansion of a coal mine. ukraine says it's forces are still holding onto the eastern channel, salazar, the russian mercenary wagner. bruce sees the area, but the criminal has warned against declaring what it called a premature victory. combo de, sending a team of mine clearance experts to ukraine to help clean up land mines and
6:31 pm
unexploded devices. they take with them. decades of experience and expertise learned in their own country, tony chang has more from some pen, ukrainian mind clearance teams, painstakingly go through, recently regained territory. it's slow but essential work before civilians can return and start rebuilding their lives, lactation all dressers and in fact our soldiers are immediately followed to the liberated areas by those who restore all conditions for normal life. the 1st and most basic one is de mining by the occupies leave behind thousands of unexploded minds and ammunition, he believed, replied an estimated 25 percent of the rockets missiles used in ukraine. don't explode on impact, leaving a deadly hazard that must be carefully removed. and destroyed the d. mine is from cambodia due to arrive in ukraine. this is familiar territory
6:32 pm
in an unfamiliar country. now will be a similarity. there will be a difference. and however, i strongly believe that stand that operation proceed year to ensure the safety of operator. ah, not very much difference. after the civil war in the 19 seventy's and eighty's, an estimated 6000000 pieces of unexploded ordnance remained hidden across cambodia . finding it in the thick undergrowth is difficult when the explosives become more unstable over time. but the munitions deployed on modern battlefield, such as ukraine, a very different and this is where the cambodian team can pass on its wealth of knowledge to be of right, the order munitions in use across the globe. all of us, the different obviously technology is progress. i'm hugely, in the, in the last 2030 years. but the basic so d mining, you know, will, will transfer often those weapons are produced in nations,
6:33 pm
not immediately impacted by the war in which they're deployed. and the can also serve as a testing ground for new a moly for munition is the cambodian genocide was a very different conflict to the war in ukraine. but it was wage with weapons from the superpowers of the time china, russia, and the united states weapons that remained lethal. decades after the conflict was over. 30 years after fighting stopped on the killing fields of cambodia, unexploded munitions still kill, maim, hundreds of civilians every year. the legacy of a conflict that prevents people leaving it behind tony chang, al jazeera, non pen, the syrians, human rights watch report has been released. it says unchecked, authoritarian power is leaving behind a sea of human suffering. so it's spotlights abuses happening in a 100 countries while highlighting issues of war, media, freedoms, gender rights and refugees. and it puts the conflicts in ukraine at the top of its
6:34 pm
agenda, saying russian president vladimir putin is operating with impunity. it welcomes the international communities, responds including efforts by you and agencies to collect evidence of war crimes. but it says other crises are being ignored. so it's calling on governments as well as international organizations to take action or correspondence have updates from some of the countries mentioned in that reports in. ready 2022 was easier to track to making one point. 2000000 people came to germany, claiming retinue states, the vast majority of them. ukrainian, many of them from germany to berlins main central station here where the application process could begin. but it's estimated around 200000 people from syria,
6:35 pm
afghanistan, iran, iraq also came to this country, the treatment they received. that was what the difference because pregnancy, freedom of movement around europe as others don't. ah, lebanon's political class is accused of denying people their basic rights by failing to address an economic crisis that has pushed the 80 percent of the population into poverty. low income households have cut back on foods, while the large refugee population has been hit hard, decades of corruption and mismanagement has nearly bankrupted the state, which is no longer able to provide services like electricity, financial losses are in the billions of dollars. ah,
6:36 pm
ah, for the report details and litany of apparent russian war crimes, including in butcher, a town north of keith was occupied by a russian forces un certainly 70 people were unlawfully killed or go in my pole in the south of the country russians formed a theatre that had been clearly marked out as a severe shelter. hundreds of people were killed, including children, with 230 palestinians were killed in conflict and complications with israeli security forces in 2022 and a further, 9000 were injured. those figures in the palestinian health ministry and that
6:37 pm
includes those killed in 3 days. i was rarely asked for icon garza in august with and israel is for the financial school on the palestinians. now deduct more than a 3rd of the $256000000.00 a year. it collects on behalf of palestinian authority and duties and taxes. phil robertson is the deputy asia director at human rights watch, and he warns the situation across the world is getting worse. if we look at what's happening in afghanistan for women and the girls. and we look at what's happened obviously in ukraine. i with the russian invasion the situation is across the world . unfortunately it has gotten worse, but. busy we're also saying is that it's responsibility of many other governments. the not that traditional governments have cared about human rights from the european union, north america, but governments from latin america, from africa, from middle east,
6:38 pm
other places to also step up and do something about human rights to recognize that they have an important role in promoting human rights and protecting human rights and not leave it to others. if we look at the asia region, myanmar a is a, an ongoing human rights disaster. you have a country being corn apart and crimes against humanity being committed every day by a military junta, backed by china and russia. ah, you know, there needs to be a much stronger focus because this is something where there is interest in the region to try to resolve it. but the reality is that the international community is just not focused enough on dealing with that issue. certainly north korea, there's a lot of problems in north korea, but again, you know, it's a major, major rights abusing state that often seems to get away with it because everybody's talking about their nuclear weapons or their missile technology. there is quite clearly been pointed out that there's a double standard that on one hand, refugees from the ukraine have been treated very well worth a refugees from syria. afghanistan and iraq who tried to reach europe have received
6:39 pm
just the opposite kind of treatment. that is a very serious concern, and that is a legitimate criticism of many of the european member states that you know, they're not necessarily odd, you know, playing evenly with everyone in rights. won't, says african leaders fail to tackle widespread abuses against civilians by security forces. and non state armed groups, catherine, so it has more from nairobi. if your p s features are quite a prominent because of this conflict that has been going on in the north of the last the last 2 years. and this is a fighting between government forces and to grant fighters. thousands of people have already been killed in this 3rd to yet many, many others have been displaced now that read a ceasefire in place as we speak of all sides are saying that they want peace.
6:40 pm
they are trying to walk out a way to finding lusting piece, but then we have also been talking in the last 2 years with human rights campaign as an activist about what has been going on in that region. it had been lock height, has been locked off. there's been a little abuses that have been going on in that area. very different. close in pullman to verify information that has been going on on the ground. because the, like i said, the area is completely blocked out locked off. so basically the, these are going on, an activist that we have been talking to said that despite that piece athletes that are going on, there also needs to be accountability adjusted to the people who have suffered so much in the last. yes, it's option pound is continuing. it slide against the us dollar after plunging to
6:41 pm
a new record low on wednesday, a year ago it was worth around $15.00 to $1.00. now it's down to $30.00 to $1.00. this new low comes 2 months after cairo agreed. a $3000000000.00 rescue loan from the international monetary fund. it asked for help after russia's invasion of ukraine drove up energy and food prices and forward investor as pull billions out of the economy. it's me, it was the is senior economist, that s and p global market intelligence. she says the fiscal policy is pushing the value of the egyptian pound down as part of the i m f agreement. it was one of the requirements since the negotiation started back in march 2022 to have completely flexible exchange rate through gm or so i, we're seeing is that the central bank of egypt and of december hydrate by 3 percent . they issued a certificate of 25 percent just to what the inflation that has been an overdue for since that november. just the account. where did you buy nation from
6:42 pm
