ah, hello there, i'm laura kyle. this is the news, our live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a year of war, rushes, invasion of ukraine has seen thousands killed on both sides and millions displaced from their homes. the u. s. marks the anniversary of the war with new economic sanctions talks in russia and its allies. the minutes of silence in memory of the victims of the aggression and the un security council holds a high level debate on peace and security in ukraine. also ahead, a powerful winter storm sweeps across the us. hundreds of thousands of homes are without power in school. and the marie pulls off another big comeback to secure

a place. and the final of the cutout open. my saved 5 match points in his semi final to we should go high title decide the one year ago today, missiles fighter jets and ground troops took part in russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. but as the war entered, its 2nd ga ukraine boasted by western support still stands and president, low to mid zalinski has pledged to win the war against russia. this year is also express hope that china won't end up supporting russia and says he plans to meet president, she jin ping. i want to believe that china is going to side with the idea of a fair piece of you that the sticky piece and fairness, which is our side. i really want to believe that china is not going to supply

weapons to russia. this is very important. as spring and fat as lab your ash, he's a ukrainian m p and joins us now from mc keith keith. and as far as love we spoke to you a year ago when ukraine was 1st being attacked, you said you felt defiant then? do you still feel that one year on absolutely, the more we lose and the more very or more of the reason we gain to continue the struggle to build that ukraine, that they have died for. they want to independently credit the credit ukraine. they wanted ukraine, that is a bottle of euclid community and we will certainly get her. and as far as the reality of the field, we have seen arsenic stories authority of here on bar capitol keep pushing rushes from the north, pushing them east on last 2nd biggest city, pushing them the south. and that possibly seen plenty of that. and so our belief in

victory is so strengthened by what happened from garcia absolute. and you said you personally saw a lot of that, your twitter profile, and d as a picture of you holding a gun. it says your private in the army, have you been in battle yourself this year? so far, sir, i was trying to get mobile as of an easy job for the following. but then i, after, after the death of somebody very dear and near to me, i'll tear in the 1st week of the war. i joined the little defense of venture, which obviously it was seen fighting. so 1st i saw fighting around kia and on the road to the west of ukraine. russians were trying to cut off. and then after the victory or key of and north country, my unit was preparing. and then through the summer, i fought on bombs in the trenches there. in the meantime, before that i was running can, with that in convoys to various hotspots on the front line gallery race

organizations are trying to supply what civilians in the military needed desperately that because in those places, certainly that is lack of everything on top of all that you are indeed the youngest ever member of parliament as extraordinary accolades at any time, especially. so during a year of war, what's it been like for you in parliament fall of and it was showing as self committed to the idea of unity. that is unity. that crane demands if it wants to withstand what is happening here. i mean, why see that? basically, the r very as defections will usually what in the opposition on every single issue because they want it into future governments of some sort are now johnny in and voting thus do bass, launch us sir. forms and support does the military, but also reforms that you create crucially needs. because we are famous war to

build that ukraine and we dreamed about. so many times so sadly, was that we're disappointed by various different governments. and now we are drawn together as follows, to vote or decaying desperately. you said a year ago that the thing that you were most scared of was indifference by the rest of the world, has the international community's actions put that fair to rest. you satisfied with the response that you've seen to russia's invasion of ukraine? the facts of the cloud or anything else. i mean, just just there was a vote in the un and 144 countries thought of the motion of the peace plan. the peace plan that ukraine sophie endorse us and certainly desired. so that shows to us the overall majority of the world is with us in this, in one way or the other spiders. satisfied. it's very hard to be satisfied when the need is so great. our economy has been terribly shaken by all this numbers,

even in the low end, ah, unimaginable. on the question of people we have from 8 to 10000000 people that have been displaced or arctic of f each around the world. and not to mention all the old people that we have a lost lot. so the need never. and so it's very hard to be satisfied, but we're very much welcome back. when crushed them around the wall coming to understanding this water under sponge crane. this one is martin, the simple idea that the empires of all what not coming back, we can't just tack on the country, sees that that authority, the clay was of, i think happened in presence. lansky has said today that this year 2023 was the victory for ukraine. that put him will lose sooner than he. thanks to you, share that belief from what i saw on what moved from a saw on the front lines. i wanted the president to be right, or as far as what brought shows sure we are trying to show is that a new,

the commitment to the idea that you crave should be a bottle washer. we are fighting for the simple idea that crane use shoes where you crane is and what it does and where it goals in the future. and basically are we will fight for hire long. it takes to make that idea reality ok, status. love your i surely that thank you very much. again for taking the time to come speak to us on al jazeera, over in russia. this is what people and moscow have been saying about the war, all special military operation as it's called there, as it now enters at 2nd year as a dynamic which look my expectations. i want this to be over soon as possible. of course, we're waiting for rush to win in the special military operation. the whole world's against us, nato countries are fighting us through ukraine, supplying them with equipment. and then there were the nazis, we're looking for to winning this year and hopefully the sooner the better for this to end right now. but then yes,

not walk on law. war is of course bad. but this year has shown that no other decision could have been taken and that we are defending our independence is freedom, a chance for the future, the future of our children. therefore, we want victory. boyish, encouraged to mirror, which i really want piece. i really wanted all to end as soon as possible, too many victims morally speaking and materially, we pensioners feel at all or moscow says and went to war to protect the interests. but is it succeeding? mohammed val takes a look. the rushing system, the decision to invade ukraine was a defensive one and not taken just because keith was becoming closer to europe instead of neighboring russia. most go was also against european military advisors training, ukrainian forces, since 2014. when we were putting it that i made a decision to carry out a special military operation to protect people who for 8 years now have been facing humiliation. and genocide perpetrated by the cave regime will seek to demilitarize

and denounce a fi ukraine as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians including against citizens of the russian federation. although you claim leadership has denied dash and claims that nazi's way involved in fighting for the country, it's a fact. the hard line as of militia founded by a right wing extremist group was integrated into forces of the to the ministry. russia has held referendums in territories. it's taken from ukraine, including don yeske husk hudson, and appreciate wild western nations labeled them. sam, moscow has effectively next these regions, just as it did with crimea. there was a motor reason to prevent their western miss the theory in ukraine for a direct strike on moscow. there was a kind of geopolitical reason to reunite the russian people we can assume means if you are russian and that you undermine western unity. but the president

flooding and put his quick special military operation has become a grueling conflict with an estimated tens of thousands of casualties on both sides . russian military analysts say the initial plan to fight the operation without a sentence command was late to reverse. wagner, group contract as seen as mercenaries by ukraine and its allies have been prominent on the front lines, but the longer the war drags on the greater the strain on russia's economy. but for moscow, keith is a military threat and the deployment of western air defenses in ukraine, lemons, unacceptable homicide ontario. marx, zabeda is national affairs and security, unless them, he's in moscow and joins us from that live, get to have you with us in an awful lot of focus on ukraine today. we've had present lensky speaking events all throughout the day commemoration events

throughout the country. why have we don't have any events in russia, wife we not heard from president putin? we have heard from president bruce. ah, president bruton just gave a speech to the federal assembly. the equivalent of the you are state of the union 2 days ago. and just yesterday, president putin's spoke to a crowd of tens of thousands, at a rally and concert at the lose nikki football stadium in moscow. russian people have heard hours of bruton. if you haven't heard my, my boy, my boy, you about my, my point was that he's not making today, he's not marking the commemoration of a one year of the war of the invasion or the special military operation as he calls it. okay, this ward is not in its 2nd year its in its 10th year, and you don't have to take my word for that. you can take the commander and chief

of the key of regime forces, military zoning. he has admitted that this war started in 2014, when the u. s. back porch seized power in kiev and began, what is now a war of subjugation against its own people in east ukraine for the last 10 years. ok, we ha lang. we've heard pollutants reasons for going to war. we've heard the history that he sees it as what i'm interested in is looking ahead to the future because he planned, put him plan russia plan to take heed extremely quickly expected to take ukraine quickly had to retreat. so what now looks like a victory for president putin in ukraine. yeah, you're pure, i'll attempt to identify the political core, sort of an entire nation and in one person. this is a standard us state department play book for demonizing. any leaders in the world

that stand up the u. s. a gemini, this isn't poor. okay. i take a break. that is interesting. i of a position environment because there has been plenty of recreation. that's been the highlander. i pressed them to 10. it seemed thousands of russians leave the country . the only voice that's allowed to be heard in russia is president putin's. if you would, i know you invited me on the shows an expert. but if you would like to tell your audience what you would like them to believe, rather than ask me questions, i can just sit posted. i'm, i'm looking you wrong is whether or no i read only one. you are, you had a tauriel lising statements. is there only one voice in russia? i don't know. is there only one voice in the could? tory stay propaganda channel that you work for? i'm asking you whether there is only one voice in russia or whether there is any opposition to the wall. is there any opposition in the u. s.

for their proxy war and ukraine? i, i wonder if you're going to answer my questions with only questions and i'm not going to respond to put lid of size problem. there are a 145000000 people in this country. of course, there are people against the war in you crane the regime. these power in kiev has banned 15 opposition parties, charged the leaders of the 2 biggest opposition parties with treason got a pogrom at a church and strip opposition. members and church leaders of their citizenship. there is only one voice in care of that is allowed at the barrel of a gun. ok. and then saying that there is only also one voice in russia that's allowed if you want to build up strawman and tilt against them,

trying to put words in my mouth that you would like me to say, feel free to read. i do feel that this interview is not actually going anywhere, so i will thank you very much for joining us here on out there. thank you for taking the time now the united states has marks the anniversary of the invasion with new sanctions targeting russia and its allies. a main objective of our sanctions has been to degrade russia's ability to wage war to, to private of the goods through sanctions and export controls. it needs to supply its military. and i think we've been quite successful in doing that. i'm over $9000.00 russian tanks have been destroyed over the last year and the biggest tank factories are shut down because they're unable to gain access

to the inputs that they need a to repair or rebuild tanks out. we're seeing them really trying to look all over the world to find the equipment that they need to supply their military. they're turning to north korea to iran as being out all white house correspondent. kimberly how can she joins us live from washington? can we talk through these latest economic sanctions and what that goal is? yeah, all the us president joe biden just wrapped up a meeting with g 7 leaders and he really sees the g 7 is kind of the fulcrum of international support for ukraine. and to that end, we know bit zalinski, the leader of ukraine participated in this and what the goal has been in this latest round of sanctions that was really agreed upon. mung these leaders is to

further isolate russia in terms of its means of financing its war machine. and that's really been the goal of previous sections, packages. but what you heard from janet ellen's treasury secretary there just moments ago is that what russia's been able to do up to this point is fine partnerships with north korea. also iran to kind of keep its warm machine going. so what this latest round of sanctions is all about is really trying to incapacitate those partnerships and really isolate russia from the global financial system. so this latest package targets to 100 individuals and entities both in russia, as well as across the middle east, across asia, across europe. we also know that these are tied to kind of specific sectors of the russian economy, namely the defense, as well as the tech industry, specifically in the metals and mining sector. now we also know that the united

states is going to restrict exports to russia. so this means u. s. products that are going out of the united states, also raising the tariffs on russian products into the united states. and so this is something that they hope will really disable the ability of vladimir putin to finance and raise money to continue this as sort of ongoing campaign inside ukraine . now once again, this is something the u. s. president has done in coordination with the, his partners and allies, something that he sees to be an ongoing conversation. but again, making be a gesture that this is something that could all end if latimer putin was to pull his troops out. ok, kimberly how can don is that from the white house? thanks very much. kimberly as well as sanctions, the u. s. has announced a $2000000000.00 package of military aid for ukraine. let's go to practical. hey, now she's life was at the pentagon. not to the pen can clearly wanting to send a message on this anniversary. they really

were, and just to give you an example, the list of the $2000000000.00. exactly what's in it. they released to the 5 am eastern time here in washington, d. c. i don't remember them doing that when it comes to any of the packages they've given. we just got to read out. they said that the us secretary of defense lloyd austin, had a phone call with his ukrainian counterpart today to discuss how the war is going. and also what's in the traditional aid package. and it's a fairly different than the packages we usually see. usually there's numbers associated with just how many they're given. they didn't, in fact list that one thing is going to be the big question. how disappointed is you, chris? they've been out here for months to keep their job. they said they read that to turn the title report. that is not in this list. what is on this list is additional ammunition for hi mark. this is proven hugely effective on the battlefield. my question though is what kind of ammunition, what free for his longer range missiles that can go in the hi mar system. i've

asked the pedagogical clarification. i haven't heard back yet. what's interesting is there were 3 additional drones battles that haven't been there yet. the us has been sending hundreds of switch places, but now they're sending something called the cyber love k. that's hands launch drove off the shelf a camera equipment on it. we also can drop, improvised explosive like age. the other system is the at least $600.00. now that is to launch and it's a longer range drove and it can basically do surveillance or to 14 hours it's range is 400 kilometers. so that can be very helpful for the crating. mapping out the russian position. the other drawing, the 40 news called the jump 20, that's a 6 point system. and it does have a payload about 30 pounds to load. and you can say in the air for about 4 hours or smaller to range, monitor $185.00. so the pentagon very much trying to send the message that the u. s

. is in it, it's in it with big money and big weapons. now, as of, as of today, from the start of the war, the u. s. has provided $31700000000.00 in military aid and hardware to practical, hey, and joining us from the pentagon, thanks very much patty for the united nations security council has been holding a high level debate on peace and security in ukraine. the you inspector general antenna, good terrorist, as well as foreign ministers from the u. s. u k. france and japan with their go knife lout live to she have her tansy, who's at the u. n. and she, up a day after the un general assembly adopted a resolution condemning russia's invasion, what's been happening at the security council? it's been the re statement of established positions on ukraine than we expected. however, ukraine, the u. s. the western alliance did go into this meeting with that general assembly

resolution that i wanted supported by 143. a wonderfully well of 193 countries of the general assembly. that's the position they wanted to be at the show. russia is isolated, but there is an interesting nuance and there was both of you and general assembly and at this meeting here, because more and more countries are expressing their on ease at the western position of cock, this constant of constant war sending moral weapons him into the into the region without any mechanism for conflict resolution, despite the enormous consequences for the rest of the world outside of europe or of this war. so as any blinking, for example, the secretary of state had to address it. he said, look, i expect lots of calls for pizza, but his message and the nato message generally is, this is not the type of piece. if we want peace talks, it has to be done. but after our conditionality is, and that's actually a position is getting more and more popular even though the general assembly yesterday that there were those who voted for the resolution,

but expressed their reservation that there was no mention of p stokes. there was no mention of d confliction and it was even in the u. s. domestic support for sending august ukraine. the bank check has become a political issue. it's under 50 percent support. now in the u. s. go to the latest a p po. so blinking and, and the others are addressing that, but saying, look, we hear your calls for peace. but frankly now is the time for war. that's exactly what the french foreign minister said yesterday. now is the time for war. just so to stock statement to make at the united nations is all basis is, is prevention of war and conflict and conflict resolution. and that we do have china's plan which, which they mentioned here of d confliction of trying to create b atlas fair for peace talks respecting the sovereignty of countries. but also abandoning what they called cold war mentality. abandoning unit from sanctions of the sort of, kimberly was talking about giving b participants an incentive to sit down to the table and talk. that's what you're

the, i'm the curb here despite that very strong sharing, condemning rushes and version of ukraine in the general assembly. resolution and she had, thanks very much, she ever tansy of wanting that from the united nations on the war has separated many families more than 8000000 ukrainian refugees have fled to neighboring countries and majority of women and children. holland. hers welcomed them most for the route. 1.5000000 people settling their germany is hosting an estimated 1000000 ukrainian refugees. but like many countries, its face challenges, especially in providing adequate housing and services. the czech republic took in around 500000 people. it's one of the 27 e u nation's where ukrainians are allowed to live and work for up to 3 years. italy, spain, and the u. k. of each welcomed around a $150000.00 people. don't a ho was at the polish border city of premise, where he caught up with some refugees who hope to return to their land one day. in

a polish auditorium, ukrainian refugees watch a film comparing the world war to destruction of warsaw with last year's russian bombardment of maria paul, warsaw was rebuilt and rose shiny, a new from the ashes. so to the thinking goes, will ukraine's devastated cities like maria pope. on a guided tour of warsaw later were traces of the war still remain some feel only faint to hope. my dear, you go back to the maria pool. we had will never be the same. it will be different . you cannot know how, but the life we had, they will never return. that life was stolen from us from us. hope is a common ingredient to the lives of ukrainian refugees scattered the world over, a large proportion, benefiting from the generosity of neighboring poland. but the warmth and safety of sponsored accommodation is no barrier to paint what's at the wall? martha was a bla bully mean you see,

march 20th was more or less quite the day. so we left the basement. and i remember it was my daughter's birthday. nor to the realization that what began as a temporary relocation could last much longer. and while there are those returning to save for parts of ukraine, especially as when to lift many, continue to flee. the fighting in the south and east train loads of newcomers arrive on poland, east border almost every day. everything. just a minute to come across. you sold all your belongings, given books. it was 2 cars. and since the war began more than 8000000 people have the same voc trains like this one from ukraine, many of them going on to settling countries all over the world while totaled alone

has taken in around one and a half. millions in this country's generosity. now, being fully tested, as the war goes on, in recent years, poland has become infamous for its unwelcoming attitude to migrants from africa and the middle east. trying to cross the border from bella. ruth, not so those from ukraine. but while the country spends billions of dollars supporting them and as the cost of living saws, the hope that they will $1.00 day be able to leave, poland is not felt by the ukrainians alone. joan, a whole al jazeera premise, poland, or russian service. i left that country in large numbers since the war began. tens of thousands of young professionals have gone abroad to escape conscription or sanctions, or because they don't support the war. and he has some reports from moscow. the war in ukraine has changed a lot here. for dimitry,

who asked us to protect his identity, the greatest fear is being called up to serve in the army. he left russia for kazakhstan, but didn't stay long. no, bo, when you're a huge, did him. i was gone for 4 months. it was my longest time away from home, being in a foreign country is hard, especially when you have no support in the costs of housing and food increased a lot and it became very expensive to live. so i decided to come back home, richie demetri, still planning to leave, but he's not sure when or where he'll go near flavor, go our it's still on my mind. it's hard when he don't know what's coming to morrow . some of my friends have already left here, some are planning to go. so in fact, there will be very little to keep me here. thousands of young russians have similar stories i have or with the national team, and i can't or russia because i won't be me. you

know, that i have no babies back, says them over ashes, or is this a be from the mischief digital development? puts the number of people who have left at 100000. what says 80 percent of them are working remotely for russian companies, but some people left, some people came back and it's real. take her. actually a lot of time to understand how many people actually left, maybe people who have less than a junior specialist, that middle senior specialists and it will take years upon years of experience for the newcomers on the market. so few on the gap, the government is considering various proposals. incentives are on the table as are threats to confiscate the property of those who have left. the brain. brain isn't new in russia, but the war has shaped the plans of many young professionals. that is a feeling of unease, and they say as prospects are so uncertain here, they'll follow the caddy path to other countries. are the actual jessia. moscow

still had hair on al jazeera look at some of the other world news. and we have a report from nigeria about what's on people's minds, a heads of saturday's hotly contested elections and transport. we'll look at a controversial new norm aimed at reducing head injuries in rugby. ah, ah, hello, it is warming up nicely. once again, the crusty arabian peninsula laws, the clear skies here in catabolism, typically getting up to 26 celsius in doha. so looking good. a similar temperature there too, for a q weights fine and dry and more of the same as we go one into sunday teams is a little higher than that cup. it weighs high there for to by getting 30 degrees already somewhat cooler. some winter. yeah. i, which was

a far north of afghanistan, but not too bad up to was know the parts into levant. it is january dry and settled at the moment. so temperatures will tend to just pick up as we go on through the next couple of days or left by, for example, could touch 20 degrees, maybe some bits and pieces of drizzly rain for a tie. but that will clear through, as we go on through the, we can not too much to speak of here, rather more on the way of where to whether across the north west of africa and northern algeria. ch in india, right back, it's morocco looking a little wet, a little breezy over the next hour, say something about life. he sat up just going on into the mediterranean, much of north africa, down towards the coastal fringes of west africa. do look fine and to i want to, to showers coming in here because the big story, the moment down into southern parts of africa is our tropical cyclone. and that continues to make his way west. ah,

on county the cost one year off the roster invaded ukraine off sanctions against moscow worth it. baker's as far as senegal feel the pinch of the fighting ukraine out, a coping plus air india that sealed the biggest aviation deal in the industry history . continental on al jazeera. what a man has been done before, can be done. you've been bitten as long as a human being is doing it. you can do it. no matter how you possibly looks it's you'd putting the putting the lock in use will have to be efficient to be. so i am the captain, a sales than me a so continued kenya and am, was, or the assistant which we are the only ice okey team in eastern central africa. we as the i sales were progressing pretty well. we had managed to play in some international games. then when corbett kimmy, the ice rink was closed, and it's the only ice rink in the country.

ah ah, there again, you're watching out a zera, his reminder of our top stories this hour. it's been one year since russia launch sits invasion of ukraine leading to the largest conflict in europe since world war to thousands of people have been killed and millions. forts from the united states has marked the anniversary of the invasion with new sanctions targeting russia and his allies. washington has also promised another $2000000000.00 worth of military support for ukraine. and the u ins actually general says that a year into the war, life is a living hell for the people of ukraine. he was speaking at a high level security council debate on peace and security at the united nations

was ukrainians mock the day that russian forces invaded that country out there. as charles stratford takes us through the events leading up to the moment, the war began. in the day is running out to the invasion out seem were in the pro ration separatist controlled city of donnette and there was no indication of any build up. pull any plans for a large scale invasion. the situation in on it was relatively calm. we then moved back across the line of control into ukrainian controls territory where there was an, an announcement of by the pro russian separatists, that they were evacuating all civilians. right. the way along their line of control their side of the line of control. and it was then that the penny dropped, that some large scale military operation was going to potentially happen. and it was a sense of great fear amongst the civilians. as you can imagine that we were talking

to in those villages on the ukrainian side, the wagon we go and who can help us. we had about the evacuation on the other side and it's not a good sign. they were asking for an evacuation by the ukranian government that never came. and what we know now is that entire errors, as you can imagine, completely controlled by russian forces. we then moved to mariel pool, and that's where we were when the invasion started. and if there was to be some so the push into the city, i think it would be not inconceivable that things could deteriorate very rapidly. indeed. and you could well be saying this potentially a lot of civilian casualties. the 1st explosion we heard around about 11. i am in the morning, we understand a miss, i'll find from a warship on the as off see. and then there was a gradual escalation in shelling to the east of the city around the village of shocking of it. there was no great sense of panic in mariel pal, thousands of people coming up at banks, going to stock up on food. and of course,

we know what happened to that city in subsequent days and weeks. an incredible siege, basically, a city completely destroyed by russian forces. d last dying moments of ukraine's defense of marielle, pl. around that as of steel plant. we pushed west after hearing a rumor that russian forces were moving towards mariel from the west from the town of mel. it's a pool and as we moved west, the road got quieter and quieter and quieter 0 civilians. and the tell tale signs of a battle ukrainian military vehicles, some still smoking having seemingly been hit by direct strikes, which stops on the way in the town. the naval town of bearer danced, and it was there that we were told that all ukrainian naval forces had left the city and they left what vessels were in the port behind. the reason i left it because the russian navy warned them that if they didn't pack on their positions

and leave than the port would come under attack, we then headed north towards the city of zap, parisha. and what an incredible scene that was an entire city that had come together, unified galvanized, determined to defend itself. most of the men that you see here, a members of the civil defense forties, they are volunteers. they say that the russian army has positioned itself in the next town down this road. they had been trenches that had been dug, civil defense units were getting organized. there were trees that had been fell to try and hold any kind of russian advance. and there were, i'll never forget thousands of civilians in these neighborhoods that had gathered empty bottles and vessels that they were then filling with petrol to try and to make petrol bombs will. yeah. jim, yeah. me, i have a family. i can't do anything else to help them clearly, but we are honest and bright people, but the situation is dark right now. anything to try and improve the chances of defending that city. and of course,

the defense observe. parisha continues to this day. russia's invasion has turned the focus on its belly and as those with close links to president putin and the kremlin, have been hit with sweeping international sanctions, their property and assets frozen and seized the bush capital. london was once regarded as a favorite playground of the russian elite for brennan takes a look at what they're doing now. brushes post soviet millionaires. the white stucco mansions of london bell graveyard were an irresistible magnet. a wash with russian money districts like may fed bel gravy and knights bridge and the nickname, london grad house, the exclusive prime real estate agents of london mayfair road that boom brokering billions in property deal. but in the past year, international sanctions have brought an end to all that. all doors are come down in terms of russians, very difficult to work with russians because neither banks nor lawyers came to work

with them. some agents went work with them, but it doesn't really matter. could have been very few of any rushed inquiries over the last 8 or 10 months. the invasion of ukraine, sparky scramble for the exit. realizing that sanctions were imminent and inevitable, the only goths race to off load the assets, get rid of their football clubs and sale. they're mostly off out of the reach of the sanctioning authorities. london grad had become a hostile environment for russia. money. the shutters came down in europe and the united states. law enforcement has been vigorously seizing billions in russian linked assets, while new disclosure laws are revealing the throne a ship of thousands of anonymous on shore, holding companies the anti corruption group, the o. c. c r p. has compiled a russian asset tracker meticulously listing the yachts, the mansions, and the private jets of many of the best known russian elite. the group says

sanctions have meant these billionaires and are struggling to find lawyers and finances willing to work for them. but these are resorts for people, it really do have this, the only guard survival it with it includes, you know, multiple citizen sheeps passports, dummy companies, lots of proxies, lots of digital assets, sometimes they have lots of ard and so on. and even if we look at europe, for instance, the u. k, or switzerland or other countries where the, the toward preferred for only of i've only got for a long time. we see that the action against these oligarchs is, is barely touching the surface. places like to buy and took here, remain neutral, and not imposing sanctions. this $250000000.00 super yacht linked to the sanctioned oligarch. andre scotch was just one of those spotted in dubai harbor eclipse and solaris to of roman abramoff, which is yachts are off to kia a year on from the russian invasion of ukraine. at least $2000000000.00 of assets

have been frozen in the u. k. alone, but although london is now off limits the sheer scale of the oligarchy, wealth means that may amount to no more than an inconvenience. pull brennan al jazeera doug ravia and palestinians have chris size, what they say a double standards and western powers, attitudes to invasion and occupation. many say the international community has rushed to sanction russia for its war in ukraine. but they all good. they've lived under military occupation for decades without israel being held to account. neither abraham reports from the occupied westbank ah, is with lina hubbard has lived under israel's military occupation for the last 30 years. a ukrainian who married the palestinian. she now lives in drama lock in the occupied west bank in february last year, had original hometown of mer you pull. also became occupied by russia. forces is with lena says she never thought in her life that palestine would be

a refuge for her family. but after her brother was killed in the world, ukraine last year, it is wet, had 80 year old mother fled to ah, into her combat. do i use it? you right to live in peace and for your children to see freedom, you know, what should take you right away. and this is what the russians are doing. ukrainians taking. alright, well i was that. so there are lots of similarities between palestinians and ukrainian sicily vela and despite being under the military rule of a foreign power palestinian, see the world is ignoring their situation and say that their struggle for independence and freedom is a just cause victims of a decades long occupation, they say they can't count on the international community. what's rushed to sanction russia while allowing israel to get away with its violation. i feel very angered

at the double standards of the european and the western nations where on they've been taking the right the wrong side of history against palestinians. all these years, birdsong hauled the world is showing sympathy with ukraine, but diminishes us. the world only respects the powerful those 3. mm hm. mendoza, my la, my big powers who ruled the world have double standards. it seems that those who control international law decide to abide by dozens of you under solutions support the palestinian peoples right to independence and self determination and designate settlements illegal. but none have yet to actually palestinian officials say this shows double standards and it's not new. 80 the problem is that countries are looked willing to uphold the national standards with israel and the little human rights and to apply the same exact measures that they apply elsewhere. and this is why we continue to witness israel not by them by the national.

like most palestinians bit lana's as the war in ukraine is devastating, but hope that will end soon. but she and many palestinians peered. israel's occupation will go on much longer. ne debra him and just either the occupied with bank as get some other news now and voters in nigeria are electing a president and members of parliament on saturday. the race for the leadership is said to be too close to cool on the jam. june reports from boucher, many nigerian say these elections could not be happening at a more critical time in the race to choose the president, vice president as well as members of the senate and house of representatives. the stakes are extremely high. this true people are, they are very hungry. the snow cash on grow and a new to cause will how most time does not take care of our salaries. throughout the capital, people have a long wait to get fuel and it takes even longer to get money. that's because of

a rushed redesign of the national currency and a botched roll out of the new bank notes. 18 candidates are campaigning for the presidency, but opinion polls suggest only 3, have a chance of winning. nigeria has more than $93000000.00 registered voters and about 40 percent of them are under the age of $35.00. that's why many here believe the youth may play a pivotal role and the outcome comes up. the wall is among a new generation of activists speaking out against corruption in nigeria and promoting good governance to they. we have over a 100000000 people that are very poor unemployment of i said, 2 percent unemployment treat one of the highest ever. he believes many of the economic problems are a result of growing insecurity in the country to very will last for indirect investment because the engine government cannot guarantee safety of life. so the property will hold from natalie book while her out. now to also, you know,

england by 6 ones in there last, a format in cape town, south have her will face reading champions, australia and sundays title beside her. now the 3rd round of the 6 in nations, the championship kicks off on saturday with england facing wells. the game was almost cold off due to a strike overpay, but there is another rebellion and the sport of rugby union with hundreds of clubs, upset by decision to change. how plays tackle each other police reports. o tackling is at the heart of the union. plays at all levels, train hard to get it right in a tough fast game. it can be dangerous, but attempts by the ruling body in england to reduce the risk by changing the height at which a tackle could be made. of course, concerned at the sports grassroots, my initial reaction was, is i am going to the fate of a kill the game. because rugby is a contact sport,

we can't make contact safer. the main danger is head injuries, something everyone at this club quite naturally wants to avoid. hundreds of former amateurs and prose have brought lawsuits due to them suffering brain trauma. seems like england do now have concussion rules in place, and it's uncertain that making plays tackle lower will make the sports safer. the problems with high tackles and concussions have been most obvious at the elite levels of the game, but it said the grass roots of rugby union that the changes will be made, at least at 1st. those changes are due to start next season, but could be hard to implement one of them. so the current legal tuckahoe is shows and below. and if i show, you know what, like the maximum height would be in terms of a tackle would be looking to rent the boat up. so the new law will it trying to prevent is his head. and by doing that, what they're saying is, is hip and below. and it's tier one problem is that to play could still get

concussed by a knee, hitting them in the face and clubs like worthing. a worried that the threat of getting sent off what is currently a legal site tackle could put people off from playing a complex sport that is getting even more complicated. one form of professional suing the rugby authorities after being diagnosed with dementia in his forties is also skeptical about the changes i would have gone for just below chest height as a doctor, and talk a line. my friend gabriella away said you risk more concussions with knees and hips to a certain extent low in the taco high. a study peggy, they've had to do politically, rather than looking be application. practically. the tackle height changes lead to more than $300.00 clubs, seeking a vote of no confidence in the sports authority in england. the rugby football union who say the decision is backed by science on concussions, but will now be reviewed. it's a situation that leaves rugby as these players know it in the balance polaris out

as they are worthy england. and on of middle east is biggest question. events is on the way and cut on this 10th edition of the c h. i chuck of features more than a 130 right. this is the only competition of its kind in asia. what top riders from germany, belgium and, and evidence that will be battling, pulled the title in. so jumping and dressers seems from palestine. lithuania are making their doha, did you do that so useful for me? laura santa thanks very much. so it's happening in dough to she wouldn't things and i love it from me laura kyle as well for this at news out. but don't go anywhere and i am no mossey is joining us from our london at full cost center with more of today's news for you in just a moment. oh, we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others
