breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers attempting to silence reporting . what did you do? what to, to investigate? why didn't you ask the extra question? there are many during that sensor it will have a chilling effect on subsequent story. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covert to suppress moderate. and in some cases amplify the content you seed on your time. on the listening post on al jazeera, when the news breaks, some buildings that had already been damaged, have been further pushed over to one side. others that were close to collapse when people need to be heard and the story tones. i couldn't tell them that i was a musician when i was supposed to be proud with exclusive interviews and in depth reports. each centimeter of the stuff represents a year of life. al jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and lives aah!

hotel. rwanda hero released for lucy sub again. i had been serving a 25 year prison sentence for terrorism related charges. ah, i'm thorough than yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up the u. s. in canada agreed to close the loophole on immigration that allowed thousands of asylum seekers to cross their border. and we look at how animals are being used to help ukraine soldiers deal with the trauma fighting on the front lines. plus this spectacular light show in the sky. the most powerful solar storm in 6 years is hit the earth. ah.

so the man who saved more than $1200.00 lies during the rwandan genocide and inspired the film hotel. rwanda has been released from prison for lucy. sabina was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism related charges 2 years ago. he's one of several people who sentences had been commuted after diplomatic efforts by kotor and the u . s. barber and opa reports. he served more than a year of a 25 year prison sentence after a rwandan court convicted him on terrorism charges. now paul recess, a beginner, is a free man. 2 years ago, he refused to participate in court proceedings. write scripts, and observers said the trial was a sham because also some of the now have household to the old. how the nature of the want and the government are because it does not um, it does not tory to criticism. and so it is shared the right the to the system.

also wonder else the did the guy push it or does why the, the system could have been fighting for, for human rights and wonderful democracy in wanda. and he didn't even try to become victim brian excite nearly 20. as earlier, he became famous when the hollywood film hotel rhonda told his story. his credited with saving more than 1200 lives during wanda's 1994 genocide. more than half a 1000000 tutsis and many his were killed by a hoo to militia during a civil war. the rondon patriotic front led by pork a guy may want the war and took power. cooke army later became president and recess of akina became his critic. rhonda accused him of supporting an armed creep that wanted to overthrow the government we have maintained. oh, serious concerns about this case, especially as with regards to punk political violence, but i'm groups including those that are led by people operating from developed

countries. but are we have a no agreed on? no, only fundamental o principles. and we're able to, to, to move forward with this sir. humanitarian relief recess of akin, a has belt and citizenship and was a resident of the u. s. 3 years ago. he was deceived into boarding a plane in to buy and later appeared in wanda's capital kigali in handcuffs. right script say he was kidnapped. rwanda's government says his sentence has been commuted after a presidential order. barbara and copa, alto, sarah, us, president joe biden. welcome the news. here's what he said. paul's family is eager to welcome him back to the united states and i share their joy. today's good news. he also thanked the rwandan government for making this reunion possible as well as guitar and u. s. government officials who worked on this and my colleague steve clemens host

of al jazeera as the bottom line has interviewed, were wondering president polka, gummy, twice in recent months. here's what he shared with us, but a remarkable change. the turn of events in december i interviewed president could guy may, he said he would not be bullied into making a decision. and that it would take an invasion to get paul recessive again, out of prison in march in doha, he, i asked him, i said, how's that position going? and he said, you know, sometimes you have to forgive the unforgivable and i got goosebumps on the back of my neck. i said, wow, they are going to release paul recess to begin. and then i said to him on stage it in the interview, if may, if you make that decision, will you give me a call? and they did. and so i think that the united states, with a lot of assistance from cutter, was able to get to an understanding with her wanda, about how to get paul recess begin at 20 others released without removing

or pardoning his conviction. so the conviction remains on the books, his sentence is commuted. he is going to go to doha soon, and then we'll move to the united states to reside there. what seems to be the key element is a change in stamp, from the u. s. government about how it was approaching president kazama, and so rather than framing recess a given as a wrongly detained person that's invalidating the legitimacy of his conviction. i think the white house, my sources tell me the white house reached out to find a different path that would not undermine the solvency of rwanda as concerns about security and terrorism. and the death of civilians that they felt was tied to some of recessive beginners associations. president biden has warned that iran the air has warned iran that the u. s. will quote act forcefully to protect the americans.

the u. s. military carried out airstrikes against iran link targets in syria. this follows an attack that killed an american contractor and injured 5 soldiers. i'm also grateful for the professionalism or service members who are so ably carried out this response. and to make no mistake, united states does not, does not emphasize seek conflict with iran, but be prepared for us to act forcefully. protect our people. that's exactly what happened last night. a bite and made the comments during his 1st official visit to canada as president among the priority issues. during that trip, the thousands of migrants who been crossing into canada from the united states allan fisher has more it may just be 24 hours, but joe biden is hoping he's accomplished a lot from his 1st official visit to canada. since winning the white house at a time when new alliances are being forged elsewhere, this was about showing one of the oldest links in the world is still strong. both

sides are putting the best spin the cat on the visit, which brought a face to face, sit down and an address to the canadian parliament. americans and canadians are 2 people, 2 countries. in my view sherry one heart. but there are tensions, not least at the border crossings from america into canada, a note historically high levels. one point between new york state and quebec. a hot spot, even in winter that both countries have agreed the can ton away would be asylum seekers. in exchange, canada will accept 15000 more central and south american migrants through legal channels. our border is no longer just the place where we meet each other is the place where we will meet the moment. and the cheerleaders also addressed issues like climate change, the water ukraine, and the growing threat from china, the spy, berlin, that flew over america recently before being short don't cross canadian ear space. suspending, more than defense has become a priority as,

as paying attention to existing allies we have, are um, you know, significantly extended our alliances. i haven't seen that happen with china and, or russian or anybody else in the world. we're in a situation united states were nato. a stronger role together. the g 7 a quad. the asi on. ah, japan, korea says place. what? when donald trump visited canada in 2018, he tweeted out an attack on the prime minister after he left. the warm smiles and farm handshakes this time round suggest alicia's between the 2 countries are better . but they still have issues that haven't disappeared. alan fisher al jazeera to welcome present. at 2 people have been found dead inside a sweltering train car in southern texas, along with 13 others believe to be migrants who had crossed into the u. s. from mexico. the us border patrol stopped the train on friday. an anonymous emergency call told police that the train contained

largest economies are not coming does not bode well for i barrel american cooperation to those leaders, domestic rather than regional matters are taking priority, so they will have no say here in yet another thorny issue is agreement on how to deal with a tax against human rights in the grog law of salvador, cuba, peru, and venezuela. which are also proving devices. yet another sign of trouble times in the americas. she and human al jazeera santo domingo. many of the soldiers fighting to defend ukraine from russia had never been into battle before the war began. and now they're spending months on end on the front lines that has put them under a significant mental strain. stephanie decker reports from key on a program aimed at helping them deal with the trauma of war. they are exhausted after 3 months on the front lines around, back, moot, this battalion is now rotated out. but just for a short while,

these ukrainian soldiers have been chosen to join an animal therapy session. they've been showing symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, sleepless nights will not it. will you just feel calmer on animals and anime, always gentle to you. it comes you. oh, leg has been in the army since 2014 war is not new to him. we ask him what it is like in back more to the back would it in which he doesn't want to talk about it. the mental toll this war is taking on countless soldiers is not something widely talked about. the scale is still unknown. programs like this are not that common but it's a start. when a blue rodge see the wall it is the raja when they arrive here they attends may be a little apprehensive because they don't know what will happen. but after a few hours, they forget everything within they managed to relax and got some new positive emotions. sometimes the eyes light up like

a child's. some said their sleep improved off to this leave of the wall. and this program ultimately connects them with horses and it's called hipaa therapy. it feels a world away from the frontline, all part of a therapeutic process, which ultimately has the mounting up. the soldiers have never ridden a horse before and now this program runs twice a week and it's never the same group that passes through the aim is to offer some kind of light relief even if just temporary, as they will be returning to the front lines in just a few days, there is a scientific formula to this were told, there was good to when you're on a horse, every muscle of your body is working. you have to find your balance to not full. you have to focus on your body. that's what we're aiming for with the horse. because if a person is under stress, they don't feel their body, they're numb. there are lots of soldiers with signs of p t s t. so we work on thus, a child like moment of relief for men who carry the burden of defending their country. we ask if it is helped me of the me ms. lady, you know,

worship it when i feel quite different. it is incompatible here to rest. physically and mentally at this totally different from there. maybe it's hard. you don't think you do your job. that's it. ukrainians too are dying in large numbers. the exact figure is hard to verify. oh, leg tells us they need more support around that boat. what shall i see, that we are not so prepared? we need more hardware. we don't have as much training as we should. men are fighting who have never served in the army. he says they are due to return to the front line on saturday to keep the sprinkler. that is that he tells us an affectionate moment like this. providing all to fleeting comfort. we filmed these men a few days ago. they are now back on the front line. stephanie decker, al jazeera keith. i still ahead on l 0

a display of israeli flags of protests is the expression of the deep sense of patriotism among those taking part. but now even that flag has a different meaning to different people. one of his roles most well known political columnist gideon levy says political divisions have always existed is really never decided what it wants to be. are we, are you appear in western liberal society? ah, we em, oriental religious said traditional. busy society, are we secular or religious? are we jewish or more slim or be national? i mean those questions so open because israel had not come into terms with its identity here in the occupied westbank israeli soldiers. thank god. but his role faces a crisis here as well. air force pilots and reservists are refusing to report for duty. the numbers are growing. and according to the israeli military,
