went across that central band of malaysia, the malay peninsula, seeing waves of wet weather rolling in thursday and also on friday. that should weather update. ah, african stories from african perspectives, machinery, songs upon me, no ma mancha. when you picture with short documentary from african phil, maybe from wanda and bookkeeper, fossil superintendent, to me it is what you sounds of home and the coach africa direct on al jazeera. ah, ah,

hello, i am i am to mossey. welcome to the news. our lie from london coming up, united states will send its m one abrams tanks to ukraine, amid media reports that germany's leopard tags could also soon join the battlefield . bruce present in a blue i take calls for a national truce. after weeks a violent protests. a deadly year for those on journalism is front lines. new figures show a sharp rise in the number of media work is killed in 2022, all the places i could be of us fantasy this get the most oscar nominations this year, including one for best actress. and is for victoria as a rank as back in title contention. i feel strain open the to time when it is through to the semi finals for the 1st time in a decade. ah

loan, welcome to this news out. the us defense department will and wednesday announced it ascending abrams tanks to bolster the effort in ukraine. this would be an important you turn for washington, which just days ago, had argued against sending the m one abrams tanks, despite demands from keith. ukraine is saying the heavily armored wet western battle tags are desperately needed for protecting lives, given an expected russian offensive in the near future. but he got his reports on this now from washington. a source and the u. s. government has confirmed to me that they are close to finalize in a deal on providing us made m one abrams tanks to ukraine. now, of course, a lot of things can change. a lot of different international players are involved in these sort of discussions and decisions. but the source did say that they expect that it could be announced from the white house on wednesday. this comes after

weeks of top military brass saying, all the reasons why it wouldn't work to help you crane get these tanks right now. they say things like the 4 person crew that operates the take. these are very modern machines, they need a lot of training, but the bigger factor is they need even more maintenance to keep these. again, very complicated, but powerful tanks running. they said that would in fact take time, there were some complaints that the u. s. uses jet fuel. busy to power these m one a rooms, but in reality they can in fact run on diesel. so they were asked about this at the pentagon today. why say all the reasons why it wouldn't be immediate and then potentially make this announcement. and they responded by saying, we're also looking at helping ukraine over the medium and long term that seems to indicate that they don't expect if these tanks are in fact sent to ukraine, that they will be on the battlefield anytime soon. again, they need to find the source, are they going to try to build up here in the united states, or try to use that money to pay other countries to give up there and want to abrams

tanks? so again, it seems that if a deal is in fact made, if it isn't announced, it is not going to be on the battlefield anytime soon. and that's what the top military brass in the us has really been focusing on is what they see as a very short turnaround to the upcoming spring offensive. really, the big question here is whether john is going to supply it left the 2 tanks to ukraine. poland formerly made that request on tuesday dominate cane join me now live from berlin. how is the decision by the, by the administration to send its abrams tanks to ukraine being viewed there in berlin? the view in berlin for some considerable time has been revolving around this issue of all leopard 2 tanks going to be sent from germany. will germany allow the re export as it were of last 2 tanks to ukraine. and the reporting coming from berlin

is that that decision has been made. it must be stressed, it hasn't been stood up as it were. minister, really no comment from ministries. but lots of different politicians who are well placed in the governing parties have been reacting to the news that the reporting rather worth the leopard twos are going to be sent as be clear about it. one, sol suggests that a company of tanks and twos from germany will be sent as part of a contingent from other countries, also doing the same sort of thing. and the important thing to remember here is that the latter 2 main battle tank is seen as being one of the best tanks for the conditions in ukraine, which is why president l e n. ski has been calling for them to be delivered for such a long time. thank you very much from battle and on again. so speaking earlier on to al jazeera, the foreign minister of estonia, western countries to deliver those heavy weapons to ukraine. they said that it

needs to happen without any political caveats. usually if the political decision is made. so the weapon systems will reach already to the battle ground, maybe week time. but surely, the tanks will demand also to have a certain instructions, ukrainian and soldiers. and so it will take some time and i hope in poland there will be a certain instruction program start launched, and we need also a support mechanism logistically. but i think the time we will measure, i hope, is going to be in weeks already to get them in the battle frame. we should immediately deliver all the conventional weapons what are in our possession western countries. and secondly,

also without any political candidates. estonia just passed the season that we are. we are now in a comprehensive amount. we are going to deliver one percent of our g, d, p to military 8th grade. and i have consistently made the pledge also to other countries to join that pledge. benjamin dallas is a senior research fellow german council on foreign relations. he's also previously while the you on security missions in ukraine. join me now from berlin. i mean the cost of a significant breakthrough. good evening mary. i'm from berlin. yes. for ukrainians . this is a very significant breakthrough, and i think people all over ukraine will be celebrating tonight, but also all over germany. this is a very big step for the country to take. i'm one, it's people can be rightly proud of. when you say all over germany, what is the poll showing about the way in which the, the german public where they stand on this?

because i think the suggestion has been that they're a little bit split. some 40 percent 47 percent are in favor. so i don't know, roughly half of the population are concerned about the prospect of heavy weaponry being sent to ukraine. it's, it's a good point. and it's interesting to note that while the latest poll shows 54 percent of those surveyed in favor that skewed slightly by the voters of the far right of de alternative for deutschland party, who have been resolutely against us from the beginning. but it's also worth noting that back in april, last year, just after the czech republic and poland had 1st sent main battle tanks to ukraine . so nearly a year ago, let's not forget the public support in germany for sending tanks was running at about 65 percent there followed than a series of excuses from the government as to why not to do this. but now what i think we can expect is to see that support rise again as the government now explains its decision and positive terms. because in these kinds of issues,

elite discourse, the from experts, but also from politicians makes a big difference in how the public understand these issues. so i really think we can expect to see the public firmly swimming behind this in the next couple of weeks. ok, give us an idea of perhaps the nature of communication, if not coordination between washington and balin. well, i think it's no understatement to say that it hasn't been easy. and the last last couple of weeks, in, particularly in the last week, since the ramstein meeting, where the decision was expected to be taken, that allies would fall into line and agree to deliver as part of a coalition that would have involved germany allowing other countries to export the tanks, that it sold to them, which really wasn't no brainer from the beginning, but also that it should have joined at that point to provide its own tanks. when that didn't happen, the frustration became clear and that's been briefing from both sides from washington. it was said that jack sullivan read the riot act to as counterparts in,

in berlin. berlin denied this, but what i can think we can see now is that both sides have seen sense and actually done. the best thing for ukraine, which is also in both countries, best interest because ukraine winning this war and winning it decisively and russia being seen to lose is in the interest of all democratic countries. and so i'm glad that sense has prevailed over pride, and that we even may see the abraham's tanks as well as the leopards on the plains if you crime. but i guess the kremlin kremlin will view this as an active belligerence. what might the consequences b? it's certainly not an act of belligerence. this is a defensive war that ukraine's fighting against an illegal war, imperial aggression by russia. every action that ukraine takes is defensive by nature because it's been invited by an excuse or a pre tax or some sort of escalation the civilian population even more.

it's a question, certainly one that will have been weighed heavily in both washington and berlin, but it was also weighed heavily in warsaw before the poles took the lead in this particular chapter of the tank saga. and what we've seen repeatedly through this conflict is that russian red line. suppose that escalation points come and go very quickly. we've seen the delivery of heavy artillery. we've seen the delivery of weapons at all by the western countries of powerful multiple loans, rocket systems. and indeed, of very sophisticated air defense equipment. and none of that has triggered a significant escalation by russia, or we've seen as a result of russia to its barbaric tactics against the civilian population. and that, that sadly probably will continue, which is also why we need to give you kind of what it needs to win as soon as possible, so that it can do so at the lowest human cost. or is that what these tanks likely to do? they change the situation on the battlefield,

possibly break the deadlock and that offensive capabilities, strong enough kill. what can you kind advantage? they can definitely part of that puzzle. and the chief of the ukranian general studies originally said just a couple of weeks ago that in order to mount successful offensive operations and to get the russians off ukrainian territory, he would need 300 main battle tanks. $5.00 to $600.00 infantry fighting vehicles and a range of other kids. this, the provision of these main battle tanks, which significantly over match their russian counterparts will be a big part of that, that effort because what they allow is for much more combat power to be deployed for serious maneuver warfare based on combined arms warfare to happen. and they are a step up in this regard. so i think they will significantly increase ukraine's capacity to wind and to wind well. but also ukraine needs more kit,

it needs air cover. and so the campaign now in germany is shifting from free the leopards to free the falcons, the f sixteens. all right, well thank you very much. i appreciate you joining us in the jan accounts. i'm fine with asians. benjamin. thank you ma'am. in. well, several senior officials in ukraine of resigned as president laudermill zalinski take steps to route out corruption in his government. countries long running battle with graft has taken on a new significance. says russia invaded last february with key relying more on western support and trying to join the european union. a top advisors for deputy ministers and 5 regional governors left their posts on tuesday. the 1st resign was cooler tymoshenko, the president's deputy had of office. it was implicated in scandals or reduce of expensive cars, but he denies any wrong doing. the deputy defense minister of i just love shop ovalo of has also stepped down falling and allegation that his department overpaid

supplies for soldiers food. the changes came 2 days after deputy infrastructure minister, vassal barzinski, was arrested, and accused of getting kept back kickbacks of up to $400000.00 in a deal to import generators. natasha butler is following. the story from keith will ukrainian president vladimir lensky had indicated on monday that he was going to make some changes in government circles because of a number of recent corruption scandals and allegations. what we now know, what those changes are. we've seen a number of top ukrainian government officials who have resigned or been dismissed the same for a number of regional governors, including as the governor of here, the capital keys. now, as lensky says, we are, look, we're at a time of war. there is no place for corruption at any time. there's particularly no place for corruption at a time of war when all politicians or people should really be focusing on the war

effort. he is also said that all officials are no longer allowed to go on holiday abroad. they should be remaining in ukraine and very much focusing on that war effort. as i said, look for so lensky. he knows that you have western powers. ukraine's allies are sending billions of dollars of military and humanitarian aid to the country. they of course, want to know that their money is being well spent and not siphoned off by allegedly corrupt ministers. semanski is also very aware that for ukraine to become part of the european union, one of the conditions is that corruption is stamped out in the country. in the news ally from london, mosul, to bring on the program. the judge investigating the deadly bay report explosion charges, the former prime minister and other top officials, the you and me to discuss the crisis in haiti. y gang violence is spiraling out of control and ins for a record breaking day for this double olympic champion. santa will be here with

last night, with a peruvian present inequalities called for national truce off to weeks of violent protests. but lima is bracing from demonstrations with a mass rally now planned. the crisis started in december of the former present. pedro castillo tried to dissolve. congress was then arrested more than 50 people have died since the protest began. yeah, mammoth. i won at the day one. we called for a truce. we call the congress. and now i call my dear homeland for national truce to establish the dialog tables and better still to be able to set the agenda for each region and develop our people's annual diana sanchez joins a sly, some camp at lee marine. we've learned to have another mass rally in the works, marianna, but tell us what you have been seeing today. that's

right, mary. i'm another mass, raleigh, and it's happening behind us. the people are beginning to get to the center of the joining meeting points that have been nearly every day here at the time of being in the center of the capital. people are marching not only are students, workers, people that have come from the provinces in the past few weeks, and many continued to demand the resignation present. and the level to be in a press conference said, well, what if i resign? what will these professionals want? after that, it was kind of the way she expressed that to people that have too many. the mom said that they should sit down to dialogue. realtors are continuing not only in the capital, mary, but in other parts of the country earlier today, a group of these were able to unlock the pan american highway, all with about 300 kilometers. so there were 30 police officers that ended up

injured in dod. all but they opened that role plug that goes on and off and it blocks many, many trucks that come with food into the capitol. also, we don't know which is the most completed area in the country right now. there's a massive amount of soldiers who are apparently going to take the city. we've only seen videos of all those soldiers going towards the top. we're not, but we still don't have information on what really happened. the people that they want to take over control of the city, marion. oh, yes, it's a great deal happening there. it's allow that. i have to say my other people have found a great deal of determination that resolute. and i mean, i suppose the issue for present dina latte is that this is no longer just about the

former president pedro castillo being ousted. people are very angry at the entire governing cost and elite that they see as being dp cropped while much of the rest of the country is a poverty stricken and one that is just very removed from the challenges of their everyday lives. that's why mary, i'm and then i discretion of this prostration is also expressed with authorities when the number and what this said that she wants a national truth and that she called for a dialogue. well, the government has been sending groups of ministers of representatives on the government to meet the authorities in different places, including, for instance, the governor of not did not want to meet the official commission committee that went there to be out the mayor's did not want to meet them as well. so it's very difficult for the government to negotiate who. 6 they establish a dialogue with,

if there are no representatives or officials in government and local governmental regions that want to meet the government. and also there are not really leaders in these marches. you don't, you can't with the identify who needs the markers who are the people who are calling for these people to come here. so it's very difficult for the government to establish a dialogue for that's rules that data that she's calling. and also it's very important that she has all to put the, the ball in the congress as court. it is congress that has to all ratify a vote to bring elections forward. they voted to already in january, but they have to ratify in a 2nd legislative period. the problem mariam is that there are many legislators who are already saying, well, we are not sure if where i go. if we are going to do that, we will start talking about the prices, the,

the political press is no country on february 15. it's 3 weeks from now. so who knows if the country will be able to lovely, survive for 3 weeks? ah, survivor, 3 weeks with these massive protests on the streets, not here in the capital bar, but all over the country marian. all right, thank you very much. marianna sanchez with the latest from the man babington's head of security in a form of prime minister among several top officials to be charged over the deadly blast at the bay report in 2020 investigation was reopened. on monday, after more than a year, the country's top prosecutor is also being charged, says the prob should remain suspended. st. honda reports now from beirut. it's been nearly 3 years since one of the most powerful blasts killed dozens and destroyed neighborhoods in the lebanese capital. the investigation into what caused

the explosion has repeatedly been sold by political pressure. but a surprise decision by the lead, judicial investigator thought it be tar, has given back hope to the victims families. we are surprised by the decision. this is the decision. and the same time or are happy because the not the norman from more than one year, the kitchen is blocked. now we have a little of hope that somebody, some is moving on. the lead judge has released a number of detainees and charged new officials and set dates for questioning and february among them. heads of security bodies like major general abaz ibrahim and high ranking judges, including the prosecutor, general class and away debt. it's a 1st in a country with a history of impunity, but all indications point to the fact that the political and security establishment would cooperate, the public prosecutions response was swift. it rejected the implementation of the

tours release and prosecution orders. once again, establishment 19 to prevent the pursuit of justice. in the case of the last, we haven't really seen government officials that the traditional official engaging any serious matter with the legal arguments that have made effectively saying locking the continuation of the investigation and blocking junk their political campaign against the tar has been led by the group has the law who accuses him of bias. the judge has sought to question many of its allies, including a former prime minister, her son dib, who has been charged with homicide with probable intent. that this is a resume. the investigation has, sorry, had a legal debate. there was no court order, but judge guitar reinstated himself basing it on legal justification. he argued a judicial investigator cannot be dismissed or removed and that his task ends was

the issues and indictments in the case the families of victims. ready haven't stopped their quest for answers and justice. they want to know who brought the ammonium nitrate to lebanon and who unsafely stored it at the port. it may be a long way for that battle to be one that the resumption of the probe has already re ignited tensions. said their elders. either they wrote from the front lines of the warn you crying to a sharp pricing killings in latin america. 2022 is and now the deadly year for john las and al jazeera wasn't on touched. either. our correspondent, sri now was shot dead by these railey army, while on assignment in the occupied west bank in may worldwide. at least 67 john listen, media workers were killed last year. the highest numbers is 2018 and an almost 50 percent rise over 2021. more than half of these killings occurred in just 3

countries, ukraine, mexico and haiti. each one reporting the highest number of journalists death of 18 of those killed were local reporters who are murdered in retaliation for their work covering politics, crime, or corruption. what we can see is essentially the tip of the iceberg. the killing of a journalist is the worst thing that you could possibly imagine, and it's indicative i think of the shockley to terry deteriorating environment for john is a more generally we sort of 50 percent increase in journalist killed, but also saying a shop take a record number of dennis imprisoned, done this, threatened everywhere around the world. not just mexico, ukraine, places where we so high levels of killings turn this under threat. well hate is listed among the most dangerous countries for john les, since the assassination of president of almost 2 years ago, countries spiraled into political uncertainty and chaos. the un chief is called for special forces to be sent in,

and the un security council is discussing the situation calendar is leading the you and response on this on what's happening and hazy, robert, right, the permanent ambassador representative to the un told out there are the any intervention would need to help develop haiti's security forces were engaging very directly with the police, were sending more equipment. and also making sure that the, the, the military to the police force has the ability to deal with the gangs in terms of the level of support that we can provide. anything we do will also be based on the learned experience that are a massive external intervention just on its own that says to the, to the, to the haitian police were taking over here. thank you very much. we'll just do this isn't, isn't just, doesn't have a sustainable impact. it doesn't last. and the key thing is to build up the haitian institutions. so they have the capacity in the justice system. they've capacity with police. they have the capacity on the ground plus the other political things

that need to happen because there is not at the moment a, a government that is elected that has this, the constitutional support of the people. so those are things that need to happen. and together, canada's, we're, we're doing that now we're engaging politically, we're engaging in terms of training and assistance and equipment. we're going to continue to do that and, and with respect to additional forces or whatever. i think that that all remains to be to be seen is ellen's, and if i minister will be sworn in thy shortly. chris hipkins was the only candidate in the governing labor parties. leadership contest in place is jacinta arden who announced unexpected resignation 6 days ago saying she was too tired to carry on. and capital wellington adrian brown reports in a valley below the rumor tucker mountains. the electorate of new zealand, new prime minister, or chippy as he's known here in upper hearts high street signs of the challenges

energy and foot. prices are on the streets, demonstrating and many of them are not members of political parties in these protests are bound to happen. people with 6 incomes are struggling in house rent, energy costs, and for the essential prices. i rice into almost double now, but people salaries on no writing. but it does look like this. government has done some development work like doing bridges and infrastructure, but not much else. really, food, essential items and rental are at an all time high, low income people are facing a lot of hardship. i don't know, but i go to public anger is also growing over what many says as excessive spending on ambitions development projects and their acquisition of corruption and cronyism rights group accused the government of increasing a tax on intimidation against opposition. members, to call this protest rally,

i was harassed and slapped by the police. they told me this if i wanted to stay in this country, i would have to support the boarding party if you want me late. otherwise i should leave economy struggling enterprise. i've been crazy marconas of rushing water in the train opposition parties have china. public guns are rising cost of living and progressed against the government. the leaders clearly have a lot to deal with. and many here expect they'll be adding more protest and our address to the list in the coming week soon, which i'll just see dot com, the human rights groups fortify. wright has filed a criminal complaint in germany, accusing me and was military of genocide. your organization is accusing the military of crimes against humanity and war crimes over the crack, dental wrangell muslims in 2016 and 17. security forces reportedly carried out mass rapes and murders during war to thor. she's called a clearance operation. well, matthew smith is the head of 4 to 5 rights,

and he explained who the complainants are. and why this case is so important. about half of the complainants in the case survived the rank of genocide in 2016, 2017. and about half of the complainants had survived or witnessed mass, atrocity crimes. it occur that occurred since the crew on february 1st 2021. so it is a diverse group of people putting their faith and hope in german authorities that they may achieve some measure of justice. the investigation at the international criminal court is very important, but that focus is narrowly on force. deportation is a crime against humanity against throw hangup. so it doesn't cover the mass atrocity crimes that are unfolding on a daily basis we're seeing. massacre is village is getting burned down. people getting arrested, tortured, killed every day and me and more. and so with regard to the case at the international court of justice in the hague, that is a case that essentially deals with disputes between states. so that is focusing

exclusively on state responsibility for the rank of genocide. so in other words, there is no individual criminal liability that will stem from those proceedings at the i c j to very important case the gambia has done a great thing in bringing that case, but it is, it is very different from what we're, what we're pushing for in germany now, it's important that we recognize that not a single perpetrator from me and mar, despite a lot of attention internationally over the years, not a single perpetrator has been held accountable for these heinous crimes. and we are seen me and mar military. you know, enter into the air space, for example, of its neighbors. india, thailand, bangladesh, were seen air strikes on civilian targets. were seen. acts that essentially amount to these mass atrocity crimes, crimes against humanity, war crimes occurring routinely now. and so it's, it's crucial at this stage that german authorities and others send aloud message to

me and more military leaders and soldiers that they are not safe from justice in this world. they need to know that they will face accountability for their crimes. they should be punished for their crimes. and that is exactly what the complaints in this case in this complaint are seeking the are being commissions health chiefs have urged her been urge, declare a major event over the shortage of antibiotics in the region. consumer groups and a public health experts won't regions drug regulated to do more to meet the demand for amoxicillin and anti. i also used to treat bacteria infections. more people are being prescribed this drug to treat rising cases of respiratory viruses and cove infections. amoxicillin and other antibiotics for children have been in short supply since october. people in an ancient indian sissy, a protesting against plans to redevelop streets around
