4:05 pm
and it is likely to take many years for ukraine to have become a full member of the european union. they also talked about reconstruction. this is one of the big issues on the table for both sides. the e u says that it will help ukraine with reconstruction ursula on to line pledging 1000000000 dollars to help a key rebuild is country. it is going to be a challenge. we a took a look at this of the challenges facing ukraine in order to try and rebuild is roads its buildings, its infrastructure in future, on the outskirts of keys, valentino watches, as builders, repair her home. it was damaged by shelling when russian forces occupied the town last year and experience, she says, was worse than living through world war 2. the common that they should though the followers weekly everything was destroyed. the tv, so for clothes, i couldn't stay so i went to my neighbors basement. we spent weeks there. there
4:06 pm
were explosions nice and day russians and ukrainians firing. i don't know how i survived or 40. the house now has new windows, and soon the will be finished. valentina sweeps up shavings from the timber to fuel her burner. butcher's town council, his financing reconstruction in this neighbourhood, one of many districts pounded by russian artillery. nearly every house in the streets has been damaged and is the similar picture in so many parts of ukraine. it is clear, the rebuilding the country is going to say, yes, i cost a lot of money as the war continues in ukraine. so does the destruction mangled infrastructure and bombarded buildings and now part of the landscape. some people are forced to survive in what's left of their homes. key estimates that reconstruction will cost at least $350000000000.00. the
4:07 pm
e u has an idea about how it could be funded. ukraine will rebuilt and done. i just must be jump, inserted. we are fully frozen over 300000000000 euros oppression asserts ohms, thrown literally means these shoots in. this will be used for ukraine's workman's torturing laura. not all you members are convinced about using frozen russian assets for ukraine's reconstruction. but some say it would be a form of justice making moscow pay to rebuild what it has destroyed. even though low amount of money could ever fully restore people shattered lives. natasha butler, al jazeera butcher, ukraine, or support for sending heavy weapons to ukraine appears to be waning in germany. a poll shows that some fear sending leopard tanks will lead to an escalation of the warm ster barson reports from berlin. protesters in berlin rallying again,
4:08 pm
sending battle tanks to ukraine, visit of digging. we were the ones who for 2 old wars which we basically caused, and they want to drag us into this war with them. i totally do not understand. of course, it is possible that russia will attack, can nieto country and then there would be a 3rd war war. and i'm really against all this because we live in fear of it. so spooled published this week show support for sending heavy weapons like lap to tanks is down to 48 percent compared to $55.00, a few months ago. 3 quarters of those polls take, they don't want germany to be militarily involved fatty 5th and became deeply rooted in germany after world war 2. in the mid 1900 forty's, the generations who grew up since then are familiar with the slogan, no more war for them, sending heavy weapons to an active force own as seen as a huge break with the pass and the wrong strategy. that is why the countries
4:09 pm
foreign minister calls quite a shock last week. we are fighting a war against russia and not again. also argue that statement is fatal and it is wrong because of our history. a german foreign minister will never say such things as our constitution says, germany can never again go to war, farms out the road, books about peace with the former soviet leader miguel gorbachev ended delama. he took part, enlarge peace rallies in the 1980s against nuclear. and like many germans believed that his country would never be involved in a military conflict again. but the war and ukraine cross a large dilemma for the pacifist happy mac is a kind of us, and i have always said no weapons. but if a neighbor like ukraine is so aggressively attacked like has done, and my neighbor asks for help, even with weapons. i can't close my years. but as a pacifist, i also say stop this war. we need to negotiate,
4:10 pm
also with pollutants. i call it and i l. purchases most or realistic. passive isn't . he's not the only one conflict it. the war has polarized opinion between dos, calling for peace and those who want more weapons for ukraine. it shows how germany struggles with both its dark past and a dark reality at its door step, step fast and al jazeera in berlin. all john shell made a record $40000000000.00 profit in 2020 to the highest and it's 115 year history. it kept such a much this year was so the surgeon energy prices after rushes invasion of ukraine shells awnings more than doubled in just one year. andrew simmons is joining us now . live from outside, shall headquarters in london. and i would imagine these profits are great for shareholders, but they're going to make a lot of people very angry as well. most certainly a chorus of protest and outrage,
4:11 pm
our wall investors really aren't bonanza with these record figures of profits. we're looking at up really a double last year and the highest in a 115 years of history of shell, the headquarters for hind me now in terms of the protest it, it's, it's centers on climate campaigners people right across the country who are really worried about their high energy bills, the profits are due to the ukraine. war, rushes up, moves towards oil prices and gas prices are the primary reasons or towards a this will a large amount of money to say the least. now the central point of protest is that the so called windfall tax that the u. k. has imposed on energy companies that the labor party,
4:12 pm
the opposition party say it's far too weak because there are so many loopholes. for instance, it's only taxing at the extraction of oil and gas and not the process, the whole process that gets it to the a for caught the or the diesel in the petro. but they're, they're not affected at all. and there are a whole host of reasons for shell to she get round with loopholes, to actually lessen the impact. and also that the major point is that there is such a level of descent amongst the british people right now because of their a pay claims, right? across the board on wednesday it was the biggest public sector, a range of strikes for a decade. and furthermore, that people really want that some explanation as to how what is described by paul novak,
4:13 pm
the general secretary of the trades union congress as obscene profits and an insult and to working families under one would imagine the company is going to be under a lot of pressure to try to describe not only where the money came from, but particularly where it's going to go. because one would imagine that if it can go to some of the staff at least in salaries, that will be important. one would imagine also that's probably not something that the company is going to be having as a high profile. ah, yes, the shareholders ha, the winners here. and there is a buyback plan which is quite a complex arrangement. but it basically increases the profits to shareholders by buying shares back. the company organizes this. it's a well known thing to do, but, but in terms of where the money should go, if the issue comes back to the when full tax, the e. u is imposing. when full tax as well as the u. k. and that seems to be more effective. shell,
4:14 pm
say that something like f a $2000000000.00 will be paid out. whereas figures we have from the u. k. tax is something like $500000000.00 for 2023, the prediction, but this is miniscule compared to water. the unions and the opposition politicians want to get out of it. and as i say, is the criteria for these taxes. that's the major points. when you have a situation on profits, which is now doubling, it has to be says that said that the oil price has actually gone down a sensor. it's his height of a $128.00 a barrel in brent crude oil at the beginning of it all. it's now come down to way below that figure $82.00, but that, that has to be said that there is a real concern about gas prices and really how the u. k. stuff is more than many
4:15 pm
other countries by the cost of, of this, the lpg, a liquid petroleum gas, and that is a major cause for concern. but willie, you get tougher, it is likely the, you will get tougher. will the, you k get suffer? question mark over that just at a time when the subsidies for energy bills are going to go down in april and we can see a large more money having to be found by the average or a u. k. homeowner. not only that there's a half percent high kid interest rates on the 1st day as well, just to add to the misery of many people in this country. i'm to thank you very much indeed. that's andrew semen summing up for us outside jail headquarters in london. tomar ahead on the news hour, including $100000000000.00 wiped off the value of one of india's biggest conglomerates, plus home a device of figure in life and in death. mourners square of the protesters at

a funeral for australian cardinal george pell and sport. even the very best have nights to forget find out what went wrong for killian bob a later on in the r ah, investigators and pakistan say the suicide bomber who attacked a mosque and pasha, one on monday, was wearing a police uniform security footage shows and pulling up on a motorbike, after passing through the gates of the police compound unchecked, at least a 100 people were killed and more than $220.00 were injured in the explosion. most of the victims were police officers who had gathered for prayers more cycle. the suicide bomber was creating a drama, dragging his bike on the side of the road and being and police uniform. yes, he was in police uniform. i admit this was
4:17 pm
a security lab. so they my men could not me stop it. so i concede that it is my faults, do not, there's what they are going across now to us, i beg, whose live for us and push our the key question throughout all of this so far has been how the attacker got into such a secure area. it seems now we're beginning to get some answers. yes, you are beginning to get them on. so that really ccc cv 14. she was wearing a pretty uniform and apparently wasn't even checked. act what is supposed to be. one of the secures stated in this city. he got to the barrier, he was on the, on a motorbike, he waved at the police, the police the way back. he went straight through and there were several of the checkpoints within the compound now. well, those are run by different entities, different services system, security services. within that compact, he made, he didn't know where the mosque was. he off where it was, it made his re day, the police best he was wearing, have 10 to 12 grams of 10 to those this he went into the mosque,
4:18 pm
stood in the 1st 2nd row and detonated as the press started. now we got more information about that explosion. we're told that it was in the old part of the monster, no kid us there. so when the bloss sets off, it forced the move out and the ceiling to drop and the majority of the casualties came from the ceiling falling on those victims in the mosques, the police chief has admitted that there has been a security lapse. and as i said, this is supposed to be the secure place in the city, but there's no facial recognition. there's no fingerprints, there's no electronic barrios, there's no id cards for police to tap in in an hour. it's just pretty offices coming by. we're checking vehicles checking individuals as they go through and in this particular case, they didn't even stop them. i said they live 1st and i said, thank you very much. indeed. one of the biggest conglomerates has had
4:19 pm
$100000000000.00 wiped off its value. the week long meltdown and gulf from ida and these business empire started when an american investment research company accused the group of fraud. stocks plunged further into a billionaire cancelled a share sale. the interest of my son is paramount. and everything is secondary and to ensure that they invest us from potential loss is we have been drawn that bill. this decision will not have any impact on our existing operations, as well as our fuel jump plant. now, my son's tooth market analissa eva trade. he's joining us from london. good to have you with us on our 0. how bad could this get for the group?
4:20 pm
thanks for having me lake i think there is absolutely no. ready limit how bad this can be, because confidence has absolutely been shaken. the stock is plummeting. like there is more tomorrow, creditors have reduced dan their meds to this particular group from 50 to 70 percent, l t meas, already in case of margins to 0 that we send the city group hasn't literally completely wiped off all the quite limits and they've raised the the question that the money to be paid. so this is how bad the situation is right now and does and creditors who are trying their best to protect themselves against the fall out of this particular group. that we should say, of course, that they are done. and group is denying all the i allegations that have been made by the hindenberg research investment research firm. so whether or not they are accurate whether or not there was allegations i eventually are true. how much does
4:21 pm
this demonstrate the fragility of faith in markers? hey, there are 2 things over here. you know, we are speaking of indian market over here. and then recently there's been a documentary about the president then the ongoing investigation happening right now. he's a prime minister president of the country. so this is another company where number of people at a very high level were investigated by the officials. but now they are at it at a very, very senior. so we don't know how serious these allegations are, what is the truth behind it or how that can be manipulated. because according to the. ready stock manipulation, there have been forced in activities in terms of batteries, in terms of the business activity of the business development that the company has been talking about. so i think from in master's perspective, the sentiment is immensely adverse to us this particular stock. and i think there,
4:22 pm
if any of these allegations are not addressed, the store can absolutely tax it. they add on a group has interests all over india. but equally of course, it has global interest as well. it employs a tremendous number of people, all of whom one would imagine, are going to be affected by this. how wide spread could this be? it really depends. as i mentioned right at the top of this particular show that creditors are already safeguarding that they would reduce the credit to any of this particular group. or some of them have actually taken it to 0 and they're not ready to do anything with unless this is a cash transaction in terms of any of that trade. so that really shows that how big this catastrophe could be and how banks have already from the previous experiences in order to deal with this particular situation. nice when we appreciate your being with us and i'll just,
4:23 pm
they're giving us the benefit of your expertise. thank you. very much indeed sir. richard to lebanese m p 's are beginning a week to of a city inside parliament. they're promising to stay put until a new president is elected after months of political paralysis. then a honda reports from beirut to members of parliament from the so called forces of change block have been camped inside lebanon's parliament building for 2 weeks pressing for the election of a president like much of the population there in darkness long power outages are one of many crises facing the collapse and country 3rd demand for open sessions to elect the president has the support from other m. p. 's, but not from the governing alliance. which also refuses to allow journalists into the legislature. these politicians realize this protest may drag on for weeks,
4:24 pm
but say they are doing their duty to protect democracy and the rule of law. they are like a member of a club. and they you 11 thing how to share the power between them. among them, this is the idea. they are not applied to constitution. no political alliance has a 2 thirds majority needed to elect the candidate in the 1st round of voting. the opposition is divided, as is the hezbollah lead governing coalition. and its accused of preventing open sessions inside parliament, which would require fewer votes to choose a head of state. has bala wants to make sure that the next president elected when ensure that rights off has been allowed to maintain its weapon. the other stumbling issue that chose choosing a president and chosing a prime minister and the nature of the government to be after elected president
4:25 pm
need to come in one package. it's how politics has been conducted for decades. these empties are hoping to change that, but concede they are up against an establishment that has sidelined state institutions. we as 12 and piece change and fees are really keen on really respecting the constitution and re instate in the, the, the, the public institutions. the political paralysis isn't new. the election of the previous head of state, michelle lown followed more than 2 years of bargaining. that finally ended with a power sharing deal. cynical, there else is eda mae root, all those to him, he's are with this love. let's bring in no judge sleeva and my wife caliph. there are members of the lebanese parliament. they're joining us live from bay road. very good to have you with us on al jazeera and image of. i'm want to start with you 1st because you and i spoke just a couple of days ago and we talked about the investigation into the bay route port
4:26 pm
explosion. but you also told us about the city that you're going through has anything changed with regards to the sitting with regards to the voting of a president since we last spoke. good afternoon everyone and thank you for the opportunity to demo to actually be able to to present our cases here. yes. a lot of a lot of side talks have been going on among and be in the parliament since we started this it and it, which is something extremely important. and, and we hope that this will become like a snowball and, and will enlarge the scope of the discussion in order to get consensus or an agreement error to, to start the open sessions in order for us to elect the president mcculla. i'd like to ask you the, the results that magic is as talking about, do you think that there as
4:27 pm
a result of the sitting or would they have been happening as it coincidentally, if you like, as you held your sitton look, i think actually we don't have to ask about the results from us, we have to ask all the other, no parties to think about our fame. we ask them if they want to apply the constitution. if they realize, what is the dangerous situation and dramatic situation of our population? every day, we have an inflation with many consequences and needs of our population. this things should push all the
4:28 pm
128 deputies to apply the constitution to be here. when you talk about the results, the result, it's not to how to say and in the few days you can make a change this mentality for to block this the, the democracy process. i think we need an answer from those who are involved in the duty and in this mission they cannot be out of this responsibility. and when you ask about the about the results, i think it's good to ask them what they want to to
4:29 pm
do when they have this duty and to come to to make this election. this is the real question. not for us. the reason it's not on and not just to leave a lot, let me ask you, because lebanon was without a present for about 2 years before michelle, i was the, the former president was eventually put into post. do you think that the lebanese people given everything that they have been going through at the moment with a staggering economy, with all the circumstances that you've been illustrating to us, do you think that they're actually prepared to wait that long for another president in 2014 the situation was way different than what we are going through at these moments. the inflation is and the 3 digits, it's around 200 percent. people are starving. people are very cold.
4:30 pm
people don't have madison. people cannot send their kids to school. the situation is very, very bad. it's disastrous and i think we're living the worst economic situation or collapse that has been seen and human in human history. i think the urgency for the 128 m. p 's to really rush into into coming to the parliament and finding a quick solution is imminent because we cannot let the people continue living the way that living. and in your introduction, you have mentioned that to be like many, many lebanese, have accustomed to live in the dark and, and, and with that comes, you know, for refrigerators becoming a closet rather than being a refrigerator. and with that comes the impossibility to be connected to the word
4:31 pm
because internet is intermittent. and, and you know that, that, you know, any human being is entitled to $24.00 over 24 hour of, of electricity. and if, if you can imagine yourself how much you depend on electricity and how much your life will be changed if the electricity goes off for actually, for only one hour, you can imagine how much kids cannot continue to study at night because they don't have electricity because they have to be wrapped up in blankets instead of having a heater that the, the situation caused for an immediate 3 ac and from the bottom of the deputies. and there is no way in anybody's mind, it's not conceivable to even think about a power vacuum of 2 years or 2 years and a half like like, what's happened in 2014. and this is the reason why we're here. we're sitting in
4:32 pm
the parliament just for us to remind those 178 and that they have to come, they have to do that duties and they have to respond to people with not just lever . and then i kind of, we appreciate you being with us on our 0. thank you very much indeed. thank you. sell ahead on or does it have a military deal between the u. s. in the philippines could give washington a strategic advantage of, of china. and the i of the saw him 5 years on puerto rican artists to explore the impact of product. and maria and in sports, the glory days may finally be coming back to old trafford. details coming up later on in the, our ah, debating the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters of the world are in india, jump into the stream. they made their money on coal. they made their money on the
4:33 pm
field, convincing those folks. no, we need to go. green is very, very difficult, giving all a voice we chose to lead because we wanted to escape war and violence. when you humanize this narrative, you allow people to really understand the reality and break down misconceptions. the street on al jazeera years from al jazeera on the go and me tonight out is there is only a mobile app, is that the, this is where we dissects analyze, and you have to find a thing. and i guess from out there is a mobile app available in your favorite app. still just set for it and tap the made and you app him out is even need that you can get it.
4:34 pm
lou. ah the what's your, what is it a reminder of our top stories this our rescue teams have been searching for survivors after the latest russians strike in eastern ukraine. at least 3 people have confirmed dead after a rocket attack, destroyed an apartment building in the city of comma tours, while joined, shall made a record $40000000000.00 profit in 2022. it's the highest in the energy giants. 115 year history. energy prices, serge, last year after rushes invasion of ukraine, investigators and pakistan say the suicide bomber who attacked and moscow showered on monday was wearing a police uniform. at least a 100 people were killed and more than 220 were injured in the explosion. in a police compact the u. s. is expanding its military footprints in the philippines in a move that could provide
4:35 pm
a strategic advantage against china. the new deal with manila gives the us access to ford new bases and an increased presence of several others. it completes a change of m, a chain of american military positions around china, ranging from japan and south korea and the north to australia in the south. barnaby law reports since president ferdinand marcus junior took off his 7 months ago. he has been a succession of high level us visits to manila on thursday, it was defense secretary lloyd austin's turn. i have always said that it seems of to me that the future all the philippines and for that matter, the asia pacific will always have to involve the united states walking to talk. the marcus administration has granted the u. s. military access to for more sites, meaning american troops will now be able to operate in 9 locations. but austin has
4:36 pm
clarified, there will be no permanent us basis. it also provides us the ability to respond effectively to humana, terry, in issues and also the disaster relief and other types of crisis. one of the bigger and long standing crisis is the territorial dispute between manila and b. j in the south china sea. although an international ruling in 2016 invalidated china's vast claims. the asia giant has built artificial islands and continues to encroach on philippine waters that and china's threat to take tie one by force. if critics fearing a bigger u. s. military presses will serve more as an irritant, rather than a deterrent. we think that this move by the united states philippine government will further escalate pensions in the west philippine sea in the south china sea,
4:37 pm
as well as the area regional bay one. and now we do not want the means to be white off. ha ha, one thing former president would, we could deter it. they wanted to scrap the agreement that allows the joint military drills between the philippines and the us. but under his successor, the largest public, that wargames involving $16000.00 soldiers. our plan for april, the united states in the philippines military alliance may have been through a few rocky years, but the philippine government under president marcus has put all that behind. one could say it's an old partnership in a new era. barnett below al jazeera manila folders director of southeast asia program. i the center for strategic and international studies. he's joining us in skype from washington, dc. good. happy with us on al jazeera, we had lloyd austin saying there that the one could be any permanent basis, even though the u. s. troops would have access to all these additional ones. does
4:38 pm
this in any way change any sort of power balance within the region? yes or no, i mean that's really right. this agreement doesn't allow permanent us a need or philippine facilities. the model here is more like what the americans are doing in australia, rotating through australian facilities. it doesn't radically alter the balance of power in taiwan contingency. but a will seriously a d u. s. built in alliance, particularly in the south, tennessee where there has been since us base in japan and guam or prohibitive the, the american are going to defend. so i see need to be closer to the action we heard . and barnaby los report there, one of the protesters against this move saying that there was arrested this could escalate tension. how likely is that? do you think? i said the tension, the been escalating just fine. without this? when we only look at this from the perspective of china, we rob the philippines of its own agencies. what we should be asking is,
4:39 pm
what has aging done over the last several years to make successive philippine administration. so scared that they see no option but to deepen the alliance with the americans over the last couple of years, the nature of the interactions that we've seen between china and the philippines have been of a somewhat non military scale. if i can put it like that, it's not being big attacks or, or bigger to assault. it's been chinese or navy, for example, pushing philippine fishermen all for reefs whether be fishing. i mean stuff at that level in what way does this help to address that? if indeed it actually does. so the biggest thing is going to do in the short term is help with the troll and surveillance capabilities of the filipinos can keep an eye on their own water and aid. the modernization efforts of the philippine military. because the way the china plan to take the south china sea is not with
4:40 pm
a big chill before it is by slowly shelby in the filipinos and other stuff out. and the americans can help maintain some degree of access. i was trying to, going to react to this because of course china also has bilateral agreements in terms of trade and certainly investment in the philippines. that's right on the ministry of foreign affairs. so already issued a statement, of course, saying that this is terrible and part of the u. s. containment policy bad of course, is a bit like the boy cried wolf everything. the us dollars in asia is part of the containment policy, in the eyes of aging. at this point, i don't think it will fundamentally change anything about age and approach to the philippines though, because china has pursued the exact same coerce of approach in the south, tennessee, across now 3 filipino administrations, both pro and anti american. so it doesn't seem like the manila behavior actually has any impact on the way trying to kicks. so looking around. really interesting. get your thoughts on this, gregory,
4:41 pm
