a african stories from african perspective isn't well yet. i said, well, i'm a little bit short documentaries, from african filmmakers, from money and synagogue. you see that as you all need on the advice to rick, mom, elizabeth, now because she's a mushroom, the adventures off with a car and led to africa direct on al jazeera ah, holding the powerful to account. as we examined the u. s. it's ro in the world on al jazeera. ah, it grains interior minister, his deputy on 12, others are killed and a helicopter crash net keys.

ah, hello them, laura kyle. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up. a somali government launch is the 2nd phase of a military offensive against the armed group. i'll show bob, dean, fax, when through. when jeff is with filipino nobel laureate journalist maria eraser is acquitted of tax evasion, and a case seen as a win from media freedoms plus now, as in england, strike for the 2nd time and as many months, the hosp, the government warns of hospital disruptions, ukraine's interior minister and some of his most senior officials have been killed

in a helicopter crash. and the key region had happened on the outskirts of the caps on the town of bro vari, aircraft crash right next to a preschool one child as amongst the dead. would you like to get to 3? we just hurting explosion. we ran out my daughter ran to get my grand daughter who goes to the nursery. we took her that everything was on fire over the letter butler reports from the scene of the crash. well, we've been walking around the perimeter of the kindergarten and what we've seen is some of the wreckage of this helicopter, scattered around the playground next to you know, children slides, part of the building has been destroyed. part completely black and they would still smoldering as emergency workers with air at the scene. the window is below now, those windows of the classrooms as a kindergarten and all around us. people are coming out to see what happens because

his kindergarten is right in the center of a residential area. it is surrounded by a palmer blocks. we spoken to people who were there when the telecom clash, they said they were an enormous fire, lots of noise. they saw people running away from the scenes, panicking, screaming, crying some woman clutching her child. another person for someone's clothes on fire . so really shocking and disturbing people trying to do the fact that the interior minister was killed in this crush just be just in their neighborhood on the doorstep. but also the fact that so many others died. frank led, which is a senior lecturer in military strategy. and laura at the university of portsmouth, he says it could take some time until we know exactly what caused the crash. it's probably just worth pointing out that it is now january and in ukraine. this is northern ukraine. the weather was foggy. this morning. it is light clay,

and i would think wise for helicopter helicopters, flying low and flying low in the fog, trying to take advantage of what pilots call club ground clutter. so they're not at risk of frontier craft missiles. those are all factors which may well have played into this. and we will find out a few weeks whether that's the case. but it was not the most favourable of flying circumstances that say that i would think that before any flight, there would have been a risk assessment and decisions made as to whether it was the risk justified the return. there's always a danger in flying key staff in one airframe. so for example, in any case, i suppose it's topical in one way, but with this world family, for example, never travel together nor the key figures ever travel together on aircraft. mr. monastery, a is a very well known politician, a popular politician. it was

a great support for an bastion for an old friend, i think, or at least political friend of president zalinski sits a personal blow to the government. but also i think, to many of the people he had his power based on the east of the country and was a very, a very significant figure. so it's a big blow to them today. but you know, it's war time. these things happen are no one's irreplaceable. or that crash came as the russian president vladimir putin insisted. the invasion of ukraine was intended to stop decades of conflict between the 2 countries. middleburg give billy longer, we endured for a long time. i tried to reach an agreement for a long time, but as it turns out now we were just duped and cheated. this is not the 1st time this has happened to. i mean, you, however, we, we have done our best to resolve the situation by peaceful means. it has now become clear that this was, by definition impossible. it's just that the enemy was preparing to turn this whole

conflict into an acute and hot phase. and i repeat, we had no choice but to do what we are doing now. and russia foreign minister has headhouse at the u. s. and e u for their involvement in ukraine, saying what's happening is the result of a hybrid war. second level of says, the crisis began way before the military operation began in february, last year, his speech was part of a review of russia's foreign policy. ali hashim has more from moscow. so again, love robes. that us conference today was an attempt to put the whole war and the whole war into the context of the russian west and confrontation as he described it. he even used the term, the final solution. when he was describing the us led coalition, as he described, that's trying to find the solution for the russian questions. he also

compared the u. s. and west and attack on russia, he said to napoleon and hitler. so it was like more into a historical context then he went into some detail with respect to negotiations with ukraine, saying that russia is open to the nations. however, it needs some solid points to stand on. also, he mentioned the meeting between the head self intelligence in russia and the u. s . and said that this happened when the president biden's request also went to address the issue of the sanctions on russia. said that his country is working on creating and enhancing some new supply chains in order to avoid the western interruption. somali present hassan shake. mahmud has announced the 2nd phase of an operation against al. sure. bob. he says alice turk, here,

and the us will be backing me offensive to retake areas in the southwest from the armed group. our web is monitoring developments from neighboring kenya. success is reported by the government and its allies suggest that is not as strong as it was just this time a year ago. but the group 1st rate prominence in 2007. it said that it was fighting against western imperialism and against the ot and occupation at the time since then in 2011 the united states in the you paid for east african soldiers from uganda, kenya, burgundy, and other countries go into somalia, fight the group under the banner of an african union, united nations force. those foreign forces had some success in pushing out out of towns and cities. have been often they didn't manage to keep control of those towns with cities or just ended up with a single fortified face around the field. or the group still control ways that the

countryside could continue to launch attacks beyond those 4 to slide perimeters. now what different this time? there is somali soldiers fighting the on group and community militia. the community members themselves is turned against the group, but still big questions remain. will the government and its allies to be able to keep control of those towns that have taken and will they be able to control the ways of countryside and coastline between those towns and cities as well? because in the philippines has acquitted nobel prize winning journalist, maria arrest of tax evasion charges. i still faces 3 other criminal cases which are under appeal bosses. barnaby low reports from manila. the fight is not over. it's an image you would have imagined a year ago. the bell peace prize recipient. philippine journalist marissa raising her arms in victory could de fax when

truth. when justice wins. it's a stark contrast from years of defeat in the court of law, and at times in the court of public opinion, reza and her news outlet grappler have been the subject of attacks on line and by former president would be good to 30. but a wednesday she was acquitted on 4 counts of tax evasion and filing inaccurate returns. these charges, as you know, were politically motivated. so this accredo is not just for rattler. it is for every filipino who has ever been unjustly accused. ah reza sites french, you may coop, you a journalist who has been detained for nearly 3 years for possession of firearms, centera financing, and layla. dina, the former senator sis,

to turn the fabricated drug charges against her winning 4 cases at once, offers both vindication and relief for maria theresa and wrapped her after losing consecutive legal battles. a vindication for them. for all other filipino journalists, but the bd landscaping, the philippines from east follow till rambler, still faces closure after the security and exchange commission revoked its operating license, and russia could end up in prison if the supreme court upholds her cyber libel conviction. the country's largest news network, a, b s c b, n, can't broadcast on free to air t v. i think the chilling effect will always be there. it goes. i mean, it took a lot of time for that. the sent in. so it, it won't go away with just one day. are we the, is just one case? and definitely knowing that i'm missing, if you find a case, if you, if you stand your ground, but you have a chance of finding ross, i was back at work immediately after her acquittal rattler,

journalists chasing stories which renewed hope. that freedom of the press, isabel, you still cherished many filipinos barnaby. low al jazeera manila. oh, he's right now to devil for the crying in prison for him. it's landscape addressing delegates of the world economic forum via video link. i was on it. i was really is a links and i had called her and found here and kindergarten. and he knows you brain on feminist, lost the love in the last today. and many more, more families are losing daily because of the war. and i ask you to watch the memory of every person that has lost with that minute of silence.

oh thank you very much. thank you. thank you for this

minute. only one minute, but i get the memory lol so many people. you graham lives. thousands of students, including 3 mans on january 14, 3, manage the title for air or us messiah to travel hundreds of kilometers. she residential kimbrell at fuel, at least one eyeball on a while, and has children on a file. my address will be short and all the time. we are short all and all the small maintenance mode. years over this 3 years ago was over at the mall and it has tire. in course, on the toss. how to build or his is

sustainable. i'm talking on the line now, and the topic is how do you read divided, fragmented war, allusions, meadows. the world can on the key to base with changes and challenges. the list of crisis, all security dryer amount of food, you were to enter and you want to be amended with another wow. entire crisis. the list of all for the size of a tissue joint actions. nice to be spending more the cold for b. s. b who's making a civilized more transit is our pleasing life. the tyranny is facing. the motors are

needed less than one second. to start with a war, the war needed these 2 re egg with fuel cells. the tire no free wolf uses to thing is used by terrorism. to kill it, a resisting or almost a year, the spirit proved all our prompt actions brought positive result. the opening of european voters, free brands, grain deal, energy unity together. they say milly else, mill house, alive. and not only in ukraine, it is not on the ukraine by all means exactly these base of the seasons. and that the whoa, whoa, hasn't had to 014 when russia, without hesitation occupying the crimea,

the wolf hasn't to get to russia without hesitation made the full scale. the wolf must not hesitate to day and never when the info seeks a mom, the old man resolve and they are exporting terror, is spreading that stream of the ward reward. he pre offers the wall piece for police and they will, must me faster than the rush or make it's new. most organizational of the war. now please, and next military, one of our joint and the supply. i know you play with your new fast systems. my old piece raj a. this applies a with out to be another invasion of russian tact,

duration of security and peace in ukraine. my, our page rattle on security and these in our conference. hello. oh mystery crime must pretty bad nuance. the expansion of anita and the e. you must our who are awesome. aggress, we brutally defend values which some of the law has take for granted as a fact of life for us back of life. you know, all you need resolute prompts pass. and john, 3 years ago, all my horse time with it all of the time when the world was fighting could be 90. 0 wow.

now i will is fighting against 3 years. we will discuss some new challenges for us in the whole. what will this mean? no. ma'am, well, a car, the car in the history repeats itself a whole the whole either for used to notice or under is to mate that is united to resisted and the role winners every time the same outcome. they're all over again that they're about a bit. they do, for us climate changes, a mental trials, and the cram live streaming. no, walt will all come again. this is how i can this head in

a matter of minutes. this is how much can be understood in a matter of minutes. the world will overcome entire is to make it happen. so ah, in present let him is the length he address thing down of the world. economic forum delegates there via video and emphasize necessity of the thing a time the west used to think is used by russia to kill. let's bring in our deaf america that james and phase he's also in dallas was listening in there and it's addressed to delegates. there james hamlin, a particularly tragic day and the ukranian war for president lansky. yes, and he addressed that at the beginning of his speech and clearly a moment's silence from those sitting in the audience,

which includes the 1st lady. his wife was in the audience listening to him speak by video link to those. ready here in dallas, remember he did go to the united states to washington d. c. his 1st visit outside ukraine and there had been some rumors that perhaps he was gonna come here to dab was put on this occasion. he decided to address or the gathering here again by video link or speaking though, again, as he did in washington, d. c. in english, i think to try and get the message home to the policy makers who are in the room. many of them are english speakers and i think are clearly nominal ukrainian speakers and perhaps the master's comes a little bit clearer when they can understand it. without translation, the message was very clear. he says that what's happened since the last year is that tyranny as he describes it, has out paste democracy. yes. the democratic nations, the nato nations, the you nations, the u. s. and others are doing what he wants. they're supplying the weapons he

wants, but it's all taking delay. he says that hesitation each time and russia is attacking without hesitation. and then i think the important words in the speech. he said that there needs now to be no hesitation and ukraine urgently needs air, defense, and tank. now it's worth tell you that in the front row of that speech was chance, the earl of shots of germany who spoke about an hour ago, and a lot of the pressure is on the german chancellor right now on that issue of tanks . the u. k. is supplying it may mattel tank the france frances, are our own giving its light tanks to ukraine. but germany is a pretty key player in this. not just because germany has its lepper tooth hangs, but because germany is sold lap or 2 tanks to many members of nato, the u. and beyond that. but under the export control restrictions, germany has to give permission to those countries. if they want to give or sell

their tanks to ukraine and so far that was it permission has not been forthcoming from germany. so a chance the shots under a great deal of pressure. i think at this gathering, he was asked a, in a session after his speech, where there were some questions to the german leader about the leopard to tank. and what germany was going to do is asked by ukrainian who said you really have to act now. and that's certainly the message i been getting from other e. u and nato leaders. i've been speaking a, he dodged the question. he simply said again, and we've heard this from jermel leaders before we must avoid there being a war between the nato nations and russia. i think, urging caution, but you heard from president lensky hesitation. caution is not what he wants. he wants action right now from his allies. absolutely. okay, james base, thanks very much for weighing that round up from davis. now now says in the united kingdom, pressing on with their 2nd strike in as many months to mounting higher pay as the

cost of living saw as patients have been worn to expect disruption to health care services on wednesday and thursday. and simmons was at that v, as in london, the government, nasty thought the house secretary has said that demanding money. that is really meant for patients that if they get more money, that going to damage the health service even more now with me here is be joy, sebastian, your a critical can us right in the front line. tell me, how much do you need more money and what is the level of pressure right now? it's not just about money and pay, it's actually $1.00 of the reasons why not leaving it. just at the moment. off of the pandemic pandemic actually destroyed nozzles, physical and mental health. so nozzles are not able to like enough stretch estimates as they used to do in the past, so they are 40 or partially leaving and it just and some of them leaving the

country and some of them leaving for private agencies and private hospitals. so therefore, we are lacking an expedient analysis working in and it just as a result, we are working with a less experienced workforce. i'm one of the feed analysis and i'm seeing resignation. let us retail same post of living crisis mentioned in there. so people cannot afford to stay in and it just with this level of b. so this is pulsing delays in care admissions distort this in treatment. so this is forcing lies and i'm doing this for my wife, my child, and my community and my friends. and for everyone who is out there today, demanding this from the government because we love and it was, and we want to em, this situation to change so em. previously, before the pandemic have used to do extra fits to compensate for the low to be just

systematically taken away from us over the last 12 years. but now we cannot do that because we simply cannot have that physical and mental ability to do that. on thursday french work, as will also be on the picket lines, unions are planning nationwide strikes and protests against the government moves to raise the age of retirement. to 64. ben smith reports from paris. after a long career on his feet, ludovic shop alone is looking forward to the option of spending more time like his customers do. but if the french president gets his way and raises the retirement age to 64, ludovic will have to spend 2 more years behind the bar one on grenada. during the pandemic, the money was found and the biggest french fortunes grew. a 189000000000 euros. i think with this money, we should be able to finance public pensions a little bit. instead of letting that money going to the pockets of people already have so much. i know what is of an idea when the government last tried to reform

one of your most generous pension systems in 2019. there were weeks of walk out and protests and then the pandemic. iranian rogue, who are bizarre? look, the men on a cron needs a symbolic project to fanny launch, his 2nd term. what does he want to do? the image of mac crohn crisis manager has become so important. the image of reforming micron has somewhat faded into the background. and from this point of view, he desperately needs this reform. if he loses it, it will be the end of a man on a chronicle. opinion pulse suggest most people accept the changes to the pension system are necessary, but around 70 percent. so microns proposal is unfair. the government says the extra income from pension contributions will help reduce the budget deficit from 5 percent to below the e. you limit of 3 percent by 2027. but right organisations of pointed to the gap in life expectancy between the poor and the rich. and the more you work,

the less you will have time to enjoy your pension and actually for the course. sometimes you will not even be able to enjoy your time after after retiring, because you will be already dead. so that's one. the 2nd problem is a problem of employment. we've more people thing longer in job, that means fewer jobs for the youth. the french on average, retire just over 62 years old. most of the european neighbors work in additional 2 or 3 years. you'd say the reforms are an assault on the welfare system. they've joint forces to lead strikes involving transport services, schools, hospitals, and refineries. what perhaps matters more to the government because it doesn't have a majority in parliament, is what the conservative republicans do. and they've so far indicated that a lot they like about these reforms. bernard smith, i'll just sarah paris. a european union delegation is vince, tim,

y'all act some mosque compound in solidarity with jordan and supports are man's continued guardianship of the muslim holy site in occupied east jerusalem. there are fairs, as well as new far right. government will try to take control of the compound am on con, as there with this has been described as a solidarity visit. where are the what, who are in charge of the or alex how mos compound. now the walk for actually jordanian the status quo. the compound is always been that it has been run by the jordanians, or it has been the center of control vesee. in recent days, the jordanian buster was actually turned away from a visit here just yesterday. ah, because he hadn't got permission from the israeli police. there was some pushing and shoving going on with the delegation that was here. eventually he was allowed into the mosque and he did visit, but they, the jordanians were very clear. they don't need israeli police permission to go

into the compound. can just see the police guys all heard that now the you delegation, like i say, they had to pay a solidarity visit to the jordanian walks and to discuss the events of recent news, which includes in the last 2 weeks, the visit of it, the mar ben, givers a v, a national security minister who's actually effectively ensure the police force who came here. that's what that visit sparked an enormous amount of controversy. including criticism from the european union. a court in japan has acquitted 3 former executives and professional negligence in the fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. it up held a ruling by a lower court that cleared the former employees of take your electric power company to engage in the reports. former vice president of the tokyo electric power company sack amy tow arrives at court to hear his fate. he stole it in by cheery tackle corroro another former.
