the un security council delegation is visiting gomer, the capital of north keeping province, to assess the security situation that the dedication has stressed. a political sushi solution is needed to end the conflict with m. 23 rebels. the group has seized territory in the north cuban province since re emerging in late 2021 at the mostly known it is clear that through under support the m. 23. does also clearly establish that there are incursions by the regular rondon army in north kiva, and this is unacceptable. so this is one of the subject that must be discussed and it must stop. though not 100000 somali, have taken refuge in neighboring kenya as the region that grapples with its worst drought in 4 decades. 8 workers refugee camp, say they're struggling to supply basic services. as more people arrive each day. katherine swirly traveled to the da da camp in eastern kenya and spoke to families about how they coping i last saw aiden mohammed and her family recently

they have access to medical structures. but because of the lack of funding or insufficient funding, even those structures, new structures can not be put in place. so they are overcrowded. the existing structures is mile ali muhammad is pitching a tent on the edge of the comp. he has to scrounge to have a roof over his children's heads, howard young, but bar until the people have been dying, the journey from somalia was desperate. there was nothing to eat, no water to drink. i know people who died on the way such shelters as scattered across the area that host more than 300000 refugees, majority of whom, half flag from conflict and droughts. most of the people who are coming to this area on the outskirts of di dab camps are not registered as refugees yet. so they are struggling to survive. they have very little water and foods,

the refugees get cereals, cooking oil and some cash every month. but the new arrivals have to wait a little longer to access the services. there's also a vetting process to ensure those who are coming in a not a security threat. those like is mile mohammed who are making the journey to these camps. said he just wants to stay alive. catherine saw alta 0, the dab refugee camp in east coast guard says about 30 people are missing. after a boat capsized off the libyan coast, it said 17 people were rescued by a cargo ship after their boat got into difficulty about a 160 kilometers off the libyan coast. levine authorities responsible for search and rescue efforts in the area called room for assistance. our to reporting no available naval boats. anger against the greek government is growing after the country's deadliest rail. crash. thousands of people protested in athens and fest

loankey on sunday. furious with the february 28, the accident in which 57 people were killed for rail officials had been charged, but as rising resentment over the mismanagement of the network. jonesboro press reports from athens. it's greece's 3rd major day of protests in the 2 weeks since the accident. people here reject the argument that the station master who put the train on the wrong track was the sole culprit. they won't politicians to admit their responsibility as well. then they say it's not an accident, it's a crime. i feel for the families that lost their children. i think the authorities are trying to trick us. the problem is the lack of measures taken by governments and the money that was set aside for safety. some people and basil their level system is more than a human error can be corrected. safety systems exist to do that. but all government seemed to have stripped the railway network. we students believe transport to run on a cost benefit analysis on the government,

except that there are responsibilities beyond the station most to be found. not that that. i've talked about the, the coaching, it is very likely that there was human error dropping. but this doesn't detract from the fact if we had a nationwide system of automated remote viewing off. it's certain that this accident would never have happened. the government vows to have automated safety systems in place by the end of the summer and point out that previous administrations also failed to install safety features. but it is this government that is paying the political price. the protest march came to the hellenic railways organization officers and petered out. but the political problem remains new opinion polls out on sunday show that the government has shed between 3 and 4 and a half percentage points from its approval ratings. so it is unlikely to be able to form a single party government after elections between now and july, about 86 percent of respondents have said that the railway accident is the number one problem face increase today,

the ruling new democracy. conservatives are trying to limit the political fallout. they'll pay families of those killed a lifetime pension of $1600.00 a month and settle their outstanding taxes and private debts. but people here say exchange in human life for money is precisely what led to the disaster. when greek rail was privatized, 6 years ago and stuffing was cut, jobs are apollo's al jazeera athens, a few crane, and russia say they've killed hundreds of enemy troops in the past 24 hours, in their fight for control of back moot in easton ukraine. ukraine says defending the city is important to buy time for planned counter offensive. russian forces aided by the wagner, private military group, say a winning backlit could pave the way to further advances out as there is hassan masoud reports from just outside backward. you know my o begging that he knew when i heard that there you dunphy what cause for shelling

is increasingly heard at times since yesterday. also, we heard mutual shelling between the russian and ukrainian forces, which means russian attempts to progress towards the west of back moves and surround to control. it are ongoing, but the ukrainian forces, as they always say, are trying to prevent the russians from progressing. the russians are trying to control the western area because it is the only area under the control of ukrainian forces. still, there are ukrainian reinforcements coming to back to prevent the russian forces from controlling and dominating the area. the cranes have confirmed their strong resistance and added that they are now trying to deplete the russian forces. and wagner mercenaries, some sources say there were 54 military clashes yesterday between the russian and ukrainian forces around backwards. a number that is half of the total classes between the 2 sides along all front attacks encounter attacks are also ongoing and feca south have done yet. and in saw the door in the north ukrainian military reinforcements also went to copy and east of car keys. it's an opposition

a us base organization. the extreme right wing politician has faced criticism after calling for a palestinian town in the occupied westbank to be quote, wiped out smart trick, apologized on social media for the comments before his us diplomatic visa was approved was jordan joins us live from washington, dc. what's the level of anger of as much as his visit? well the level of anger is supposed to be quite tight, intense, at least $75.00, a groups that normally don't touch band together in terms of their criticism of the israeli state or in terms of whatever the government might be doing at any given time. have decided that they needed to band together to say that to the finance ministers of visit to the united states should not have been awhile. but failing that, they were going to make it very plain that american people who are of

a jewish descent don't endorse mister a small trenches of views, not just on whether villages in the occupied westbank should continue to exist. but there also opposed to his views on those who are not to orthodox jews. his views on those of the b g q, community of his racist views. and other things that they say run counter to what israel is supposed to represent a democracy. they are supposed to be gathering in front of a local hotel here in washington in the next hour to protest his presence at a private leadership conference for an organization known as israel bonds itself. it helps us sell bonds to underwriter operations and projects in the israeli state . now, there is also the question of whether he would be getting any sort of

a welcome from the u. s. government, which did approve a diplomatic visa for him to come to the u. s no one from the biden. harris administration will be meeting with mr. small church while he's in the united states. and there are also reports that to the leadership at the international monetary fund will not meet with him. other organizations such as a pack and the a d l, anti defamation league, reportedly will not meet with him. and there is a question of how many young people in new york, where he is going to have meetings on tuesday and wednesday, how many people are actually going through god, try to meet with him. gibbon. how controversial the finance minister has are become not just inside israel, but here in the united states as well. rosalind jordan, thank you very much. indeed. nicaragua, as president daniel ortega has ordered the closure of the vatican embassy in managua, and the nicaraguan embassy to the vatican. in rome, the announcement follows comments by pope francis in an interview where he compared

the nicaraguan government to dictatorship and the relationship between the catholic church in nicaragua and the government has been severely strained. since the crackdown on anti government protests in 2018, when the church acted as a mediator between the sides coming up on an errand, the news are a year's worth of rain in just 4 weeks. those are big battles. flooding are being hit twice by the same site clone. and the new game aiming to weird place at the top table of world sport. that's coming up later this, our ah, the british broadcasting corporation has faced a 2nd day of last minute sport programming changes. a staff refused to work, present to say they're showing solidarity with gary linux who was suspending suspended from hosting match or the day for as tweets about you. k asylum policy. critics of accused the bbc of giving into political pressure and embalming reports

from london. have you spoken to tim davy at little lenika standing his grounds and being kept off air days on from carolyn cas, suspension by the be be see the ripples are getting bigger. the former footballer made social media comments comparing the government's rhetoric on asylum seekers to language used in 19 thirty's, germany. now sports coverage on the networks been hugely disrupted as commentators and analysts refused to work in solidarity. but here no is the best action from today's premier league matches. the flagship show, much of the day was a short, some would say bizarre version with no comma tree or present us and now opposition politicians are accusing the corporation of caving into political pressure. i think that tory m p 's apple intolerable pressure on the baby say because they don't like the criticism of their government policy and whether you agree with what the language, gary lenika used or not, he should be able to express his views earlier in the week government supporting

newspapers called for linux to go, but the bbc's director general tim davy says the decision was driven by concerns of impartiality, not political pressure. one complicating factor. the issue of the bbc's chairman richard sharp. he's a major conservative party donor linked to the arranging of a loan for the former prime minister boris johnson. as he was applying for the bbc job, he denies any conflict of interest. what needs to happen as a result of not just the discussions about gary linux, but also about the chairman of the bbc following the independent investigation that's now happening is that we need to make sure we maintain that trust in the independence and the impartiality of the you see, as for the substance of live because criticism, the governments admitted its asylum legislation could break international law. some government critics here in the u. k. so this whole row has been used to distract from real discussion of asylum policy. but others say it's thrown up important questions about the people who are on the b, b, c,

and their relations with the politicians. richard sharp and tim davy appear to keen to do what the government wants. now they may say it's in the long term interest of the b, b. c. it's about the funding of the bbc, it's about licensee. it's about the future. well, service. the trouble is there are moments when the bbc has to say it's a given unsafe. we're not doing it your way. jerry lynn has made it clear. he won't be apologizing. he insists he hasn't broken any guidelines. what's beyond dispute is that the b, b. c. could have handled this differently. it's now struggling to contain the crisis. getting bob al jazeera london, steven bonnie is a professor communications at the university of westminster in london. he joins us now live. so the fall out from this has been quite dramatic, doesn't it? to program? certainly for the sport programming on b, b, c. and the rock continues, has the bbc been guilty of, of double standards here? i think it's been guilty as your correspond. just said of incompetence. there's no question i could have handle and should have handled this a lot better. and yes,

there is definitely a whiff of double standards. i'm the director general seemed to be suggesting yesterday that some of the interpretations around or the code of conduct might be subjective. and perhaps they need to sort of take a step back and start thinking about it. and her that seemed to me to be a slightly softer line than had been taken over the 1st 2 or 3 days. i and i sincerely hope that her, at the top of the bbc, they're prepared to do that and make it clear that whatever guidelines they have are going to apply across the board. because there's no question over the last few years we've seen mainstream present as people like our lord allen sugar who presents the apprentice. we've seen so on. i. andrew neil, who is a conservative commentator produce always eminently fair when he's presenting political programs on the b. b, c, these are people who are known for their political views,

their conservative political views outside of the program that they present, but have been allowed to carry on presenting their programs on the b, b. c. so it does look as if it's been one rule for others. and another rule for gary lenika when he appears to take issue with a particular area of government policy. and there was a course the question about it was, of course though, and isn't he mentioned in his report to the chairman, richard sharp, who is a former donor to the tory party. and also it had been reprimanded by rubin, peaceful failing to declare alone or facilitating alone to the former prime minister morris johnson does about him. it was the light in the he'll end up having to resign over this. but i think that you're absolutely right. and that is really important context for this story because usually you would expect the b, b, c, chairman to come out fighting for the b, b, c. not necessarily descending lenika, but certainly defending the b, b, c. but of course the chairman has had to keep very quiet because as you say,

he is under scrutiny. now. it is not unusual for there to be a political appointment to chair the bbc. it's been true under labor governments and has been true under conservative governments. the difference here is that richard sharp during the appointment process never told m p 's when he was asked that he had had some and he had a role in facilitating a loan of 800000 pounds to the then prime minister, boorish johnson. and of course, it was boris johnson, who as prime minister appointed him as chairman of the b, b. c. that looks and smells bad. he obviously has and he's never hidden, that he has close links to the conservative party. and when you have a chairman with that close linked to the ruling government, which at the same time is at the, at the center of a row about bias. it, it's, it's not a good look for the b, b, c. and it does make it look as if the bbc is caving in to pressure from the government. and how damaging is all this to the businesses reputation not destined

at home when abroad? i think that that's what worries a lot of this stuff. that's observers around the world again to look at this and think, well 1st of all, why is this very independent b, b, c. having a chair who is so connected to the governing party. that's something that you expect in many countries that have state broadcasters, but not an independent public service broadcaster, as i say, that is quite traditional. but in the past those chairmen have or have left their own political baggage at the front door. and actually, i've been eminently independent in when they have been in charge of the b, b. c. in this particular route, it makes it much more difficult for the bbc to look and, and, and convince people that it is genuinely impartial and fighting for impartiality across the board. not just in the way in which the government wants to portray it. and what do they need to do to resolve this crisis?

well, i think there are 2 things that have to happen. first of all, i do think that rich sharp needs to resign. and there is some questions about what are the, whether the b, b, c, itself can do something about the chairman. the answer is they can't. it is only in the government gift. this government is not going to get rid of him. so i think it's incumbent on him to say, i am getting in the way of a proper resolution of this problem. i'm going to step down. and i think the 2nd thing is that all the parties need to step back and tim davis needs to be true to his word. when he says, i am listening and we need to iron out some of the issues here. he needs to say we're going to look at these, but in the meantime we're going to let gary and he can come back on air. we're not going to certain i'm going to ask him to apologize. and we will then issue proper guidelines, which will be in force across the board for all presenters. and i hope that he's also true to his word and saying that he wants to champion free speech. because in my view,

is important that non news presenters should be allowed to express themselves when are in their personal capacities, when they're not in the process of either presenting news or, or acting as age in the line. thank you very much. and if you don't have spare time, make your own of issue at the center of the mina corral is controversial, new asylum legislation that's been introduced in the u. k. it seeks the bound, the entry of asylum seekers who arrive in small boats, which have travelled across the english channel. the 2nd reading of the bill will happen on monday, and this will be a debate on its main principles. no amendments can be made to the text, but at the end of the debate, vote will be held on whether the bill proceeds to the next stage of the legislative process. in a few hours, hollywood begins handing out its most coveted prizes. organize is a craving. come after last year's academy awards were overshadowed on infamous, on stage slab. this year's oscars have already had their fair share of controversy

as hostile, castro reports from los angeles. these will be the 95th academy awards. and the critics favorite for best picture is everything everywhere, all at once. ah, nominated in 11 categories that john are jumping film about navigating familial drama and the multiverse features a majority asian cast. there's never been this many act i is an actor nominees. if michelle jo wins she for leading actress, she would be only the 2nd woman of color to ever went on. the category won't black actors were nominated in the leading role categories, nor were any women nominated for best director. that's renewed criticism of the oscars lack of diversity. we saw a couple of um, great, great performances and directors that got overlooked also up for best picture or the block buster sequels avatar, the way of water and top gun,

maverick. ah, but it's the german war film. all quiet on the western front, that critics say may deliver a surprise when comedian jimmy kimmel will host for the 3rd time, expect jokes about last year's slap with a capital s. when after will smith attacked, host chris rock over a comment about smith's wife. the show's producers were criticized for allowing smith to stay until the end of this year. a crisis team is reportedly ready for anything, and smith is banned from attending. also, missing will be ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, who's reported request to make a virtual address as you did at the berlin film festival, last month was declined by oscars organizers in the evenings, intent is to focus solely on hollywood achievements. what we're honoring is these people who are at the top of their game. they've produced art for us,

it's very important. and that makes a difference in the world. how did your castro join just set from a different colored carpet and your son needs to talk about the atmosphere more. and it is a tradition, of course, the 95th academy awards, but it's also a do take because this is a champagne colored quote, unquote, not so red carpet behind me the 1st time that's happened in 62 years. it has not been read. and it's not just says, of course, when we see the ceremony, you'll notice that there are going to be some high tech upgrades to the ceremony. viewers at home will be invited to take pictures of q r code that will be posted on their tv screens. if they want to get more behind the scene information on their nominees during the commercial breaks, we'll also see for the 1st time acceptance speeches posted to tick tock, twitter, and facebook. and of course, all of this in an effort to get more young eyeballs on this ceremony. baldwin 2

years, a pretty bad ratings for the oscars, and all of that is in the hours ahead right now, of course we're still rebel lee. and in the moment of the champagne carpet, as the big stars continue to make their rivals and diversity in representational was hot button issues at the oscars this time? no different yeah, yes, absolutely. because while indeed there are more asian actors nominated than ever before. that, that how one of them, i wonder who is laminated for best supporting actor. he's making a comeback. why? because he was famous as a child. after that, then he went the acting scene for many decades because you said there was a lack of good roles for asian american men at that time. and now he's obviously been on as a nominal run. be one of the stars of everything everywhere. but all at once he is

a leading pick to win his category tonight. but the fact that he had to leave industry for so long as hell be celebrated as a return. again, it's sort of a bittersweet history in a sense of having and now celebrated for his craft that he has been practicing or so long and so long a waiting this morning. i do thank you very much. indeed. you still had lounged near this news hour and we meet the one teacher employed, to educate all the school age children of these islands in the caribbean. and it's bought. everyone needs a shoulder to cry on, sometimes why it was such a rough day for mattress united star midfielder. ah. hello, the weather's looking a little messy across sir parts of europe. the may will last. a cloud of rice spill

again from the atlantic, but the good news there is, is bringing mild arrest. we should see less than the way of snow, more in the way of rain. for some, we have got dry and find weather across the southwestern parts of europe into that western side of the mediterranean, the that's going to push its way a little further. north was zurich getting up to rep 18 degrees celsius. you can see how the winds are coming in from that mile. southwest, the directions, so a lot of rain in place and heavy burst of rain they're pushing into, we're france. it'll make its way through as zurich, watching the temperature back down to around 10 degrees celsius. here on that shoes day, joseph, some my wintry weather, sleet and snow, perhaps coming through the snow more expensive across parts of scandinavia. i think it'll remain the rain there. to be honest, across a good part of england wells and pushing across into northern alt at republic. about in to some, some snow there, some when she, whether they're in 2 were germany, try to make us way for the race was clear whether does come back behind. eventually, we have got to clear whether across north western parts of africa, rowdy, whether

a bit towards the north east 29th celsius in karen, those temperatures will fall further as we go through next couple of days. rain sweeping through a top temperature on tuesday of 22. ah . the duncan baldwin is an important part of indian culture. it's no surprise in many people want to book in the industry. one dancer and one side about family expectations and cultural tradition. i guess the way now with the reality of working in advance for giving industry hollywood on, on an app that sees for the blind and a robotic arm for the disabled. a young australian engineer is inventing tools to help people gain independence or side of that will put to the ability to

$23.00 rebels there. liberal jewish americans are planning a rally against the visit of israel's finance minister, but so smart rich, the extreme right wing politician has faced criticism after calling for palestinian town in the occupied west bank to be quote, wiped out and they rolling out the champagne carpet for the 95th edition of the academy awards by to push for diversity in recent years. there were no black actors nominated in the leading role categories that she has ceremony does, however, feature record nominations for asian actors with michelle jo, tip to be to win best actress. if she does, she'll be only the 2nd non white person to win in the category. i never oh, with,

[000:00:00;00] with all of us and more, let's go to an a smith, film critic and host to the podcast. girls are film. she joins us live by skype from london. thanks for much for being with us. so what's your, what's your expectation for? i will have to read it everything everywhere. all it was going to forget part of the title. i think it's going to be a big winner of the nights if not the big winner and best pitcher is slightly up for grabs because of the way the escalating works. but it certainly the favor for that. and i think michelle is with a very good chance and also k queen kwan her co star for supporting actor

a wonderful comeback story there. so i think it will do well. i think it was gotten a few kathy's, he could also get best director for the, the to daniel's, he directed it. and so one of those kind of is so slow burning films is ended up being a front runner really just in the last few weeks. and suddenly, there's been a huge, swallow support for it, and tell us about the rise of asian actors and have they, how much are they been under represented in the past at the oscars? oh massively. and i think, i mean films like crazy which asians in the fair, well, just in general in the last sort of 5 to 10 years have gradually made things a little bit more and so prominent in the mainstream. and i think that's one of the reasons that katy kwan actually decided to get an asian and, and sort of thought he maybe have a chance of getting back in the industry, which indeed he did. but as we had for michelle, yo, it, it is slow progress and is getting there, but it's really not enough because you know, he's not representative of the population. and certainly both in front of the

camera i'm behind the camera and the oscars are instituting new rules. next year about best pitcher contenders to make sure that there is enough representation in terms of the people the work for the contenders. and tell us about the controversy surrounding the nomination of andrea roseborough shing. there was a something, a rash of high profile media or social media kind of endorsements for her does why it was controversial and, and what was all about what she's a tremendous actress who absolutely deserves to be nominated. it say that for the 1st thing, and this is a very small film which would not normally have the kind of budget to do or, or certainly not have the budget to go around paying me or getting expensive. and so doing they campaigns. so what appeared to happen is that a number of a list, actors who appreciated the film or had been asked to view the film then and had a word of mouth and social media campaign to support it. and which i think is slightly new territory for the academy, and they couldn't really decide whether it had

a breached any rules or not. and they did say that they were not going to disqualify, but they were going to look into in future how people use social media. because the old fashioned way was quite different to what we see now and to be fair, i think it's enterprising of them. but i, you can also see why it gives the academy pause for thought because everyone needs to be on a level playing field really. and so, but you think that's actually going to be something that people will do more of it . because i've seen that it's quite successful, i think depending on the rules that the academy may institute, i would say a could change things in singling for myself as a film critic, i've had approaches since that happens for people saying, can you support our film on twitter it's clear that people are suddenly perhaps realizing, particularly how helpful that can be and to have that kind of support, whether it's in awards season or not. so i think it's that new summer, like when, if powertrain, supposing under a rise bow with so many millions of followers, that's a big deal. was it was controversial, was it meant the to back actress as didn't then get nomination? has talent terms of it brought by that?

i wouldn't say that it was because of thought nomination, but certainly a yes, mcdaniel ed wiler foretell. and viola davis for the women king were both widely expected and deserves to get nominations. so it was controversial when neither of them were nominated and neither film is nominated, which is an absolute shock to myself. and so many others who at you thought they were obsolete shoe ins for oscars, and it doesn't look good on the diversity front in that respect. and this year, you know, that those films also directed by black women and a lot of people are pointing the finger at, you know, potential systemic racism because at that, at on something less controversial. what tell us why they've changed the carpet to champagne? and we thought we were coming tripping over or so to not say red carpet. i wish i could explain. it is curious that the sort of explanations i've seen don't really seem to answered it. they wanted a new come sit, they got in someone to you know, consult on it. they wanted it to seem like sunset. i, i don't know,

i'm really looking for to see how it plays out on whether it is clearer. i do know that there's been a trend in recent years in premieres for, for the red carpet, not to be read. it's whole, it's often a gimmick. there's a green carpet or a paint carpet to match the film. so maybe they just mixing it up and maybe maybe the red carpet is an old fashioned thing. now, on, on that note and a smith, thank you very much. indeed for joining us. o. south african president, serial ram, oppose it has been cleared of any wrongdoing. after a scandal known as farm gate of it just 3 months ago, threatened to see him impeached. an independent panel last year investigated accusations from those covered up a theft of about half a $1000000.00 in cash from his farm. as well as the kidnapping and bribing of the burglars into silence of battle delivered for main findings that run a poser might have committed a serious violation of the constitution for conducting paid work. while in office,

by not reporting the theft of a reported $580000.00 us dollars in cash to police, he might have broken anti corruption laws. and he could have committed serious misconduct by acting in a way that was inconsistent with his office and found that because of a possible conflict between his official responsibilities and his private business from oppose it may have committed serious misconduct. but on saturday, south africa media quoted a preliminary report by the country's anti corruption watchdog, the public protector exonerated rum opposed. there is though, still a police investigation in the matter care i'm seeing is executive director of corruption watch and cape town. he says they've been multiple investigations, and today's ruling is just part of the proceedings. initially, there was an independent panel set up by parliament too to assess whether the president had a case to answer in terms of a potential impeachment charge. the work of that committee found that the president did have a case to answer, but that was then

a voted down by the legislature with the support of the presidents, a ruling governing party at parliament. this 2nd report now is the report of the public protector, which is a constitutionally established body. the mandate of this report looked into the issue of whether the president had contravene the executive ethics or act. and in terms of this investigation, the mandate of the public protector was somewhat narrow. what she found is that the president did in fact declare his business interests and therefore as a result of those declarations. that there wasn't a contravention of his role as an executive in terms of is, is, is declarations. this doesn't mean that the president, however, isn't clear in terms of any ongoing criminal investigations that would be conducted by the police and white house has denied it switched to an agreement with iran on

a swap, and reaching a deal, which was kind of surprising for many as though surprising because there was no announcement from the us side also. but it was expected because there is a context of iranian foreign ministry, has described the u. s. reaction as surprising. a spokesman said written agreement with washington was reached in march last year. tropical psycho freddy has unleashed powerful winds heavy rain and floods in mozambique for the 2nd time. at least 28 people have been killed and tens of thousands of homes are damaged. pretty is the southern hemisphere is longest lasting tropical cyclone on record. it started $35.00 days ago in the western pacific and his travel more than 8000 kilometers, gathering strength over the indian ocean. it made land full on madagascar as a tropical cycling. from there it moved on to batter mozambique for several days. it regained strength over the indian ocean and hit mozambique again as it passed
