city and for south america, we've got a line of showers in storms. we can trace from around cute, so right through to florida police some severe thunderstorms there, but the bulk of the action out over the south atlantic the winds will eventually turn around from the pompous to patagonia. so temperature is on their way up over the next few days, see later ah, from the al jazeera london broker sent it to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitation of the artist by nature. they are person call on the most part to of i way way and denise copal. society is not interested in the individual ality the freedom. the spirit of the young person studio be unscripted on al jazeera. ah

ah, hello. this is in use our on al jazeera, fully back, people live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. nato calls vladimir proteins, rhetoric, dangerous and irresponsible. as the russian leader announces the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in bella, groups, us vice president, canada harris begins a tour of african countries in ghana, as washington attempts to counter china and russia's growing influence on the continent. were here in the polling station in havana where people have been coming from very early in the morning to kaiser valo. no opposition. candidates and no campaigning. but cubans are set to elect a new national assembly. and lebanon is split into time zones. a dispute over

a decision to extend when to time creates more chaos and confusion. i'm john, i guess you're still with the sport spain begin. the european qualifying campaign with when and more than just a game of football war tone. ukraine takes its 1st step on the road to the euros as its players place england at wembley. ah, thank you for joining us. dangerous and irresponsible. that's how nato has described russia's plans to position tactical nuclear weapons in bella roles present, put in, announced to move on saturday. ukraine says russia is holding belarus as nuclear bella roost nuclear hostage, and is calling for an urgent meeting of the united nations security council. as a bush bro, lupins houston, alexander lucas shinkel is right. you said listen where your closest allies, why do the american deployed nuclear weapons had their allies on their territory,

trained the crews, pilots? how to use this type of weapon if needed? we agreed. there will do the same without violating our obligations even i emphasize without violating our international obligations on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons. or last week put in warned, russia would be forced to react if the u. k. supplies ukraine with armor piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium. he says russia has talk piles of similar weaponry, but has stopped short of using it. meanwhile, ukraine's apparition nuclear power plant remains at risk is come under repeated shelling during the conflicts. the you and nuclear watched our chief is expected to assess the damage later this week. earlier we spoke to susie slider, who is the program coordinator at the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. she says the agreement between russia and bellows could have catastrophic consequences. it increases the risk of the use of nuclear weapons by adding more actors who might potentially have the ability to drop nuclear bomb,

be create a potential for forecasts and miscommunication. and that's a risky scenario at the best of times. and a time of conflict, i think, is really stabilizing and very poor. these weapons are, if used would be, would have results, similar or greater than what we saw in hiroshi and nagasaki in 1945. they're hugely, they can cause huge catastrophic harm. and there is no recovery from any health care system they could deal with that type of contest reach. it doesn't matter the size of the weapon, the long term consequences are also something that we just don't have the capacity to cope with. it's highly problematic. the nonproliferation treaty is not explicitly say you cannot store weapons in another country, but the pilots in those countries are trained to use those weapons and that would

require a transfer of control. and that is prohibited under the nonproliferation treaty. present. protein also says russia and china are not creating a military alliance. chinese president choosing being recently met the russian leader in moscow. putting says the military corporation between the 2 countries is transparent. and he's the key is western nations of building a new power access that resembles the world war 2 alliance between germany and japan. or the u. s. is seeking to counter russian and chinese influence on the african continent. in the last our vice president come, harris has arrived in ghana on the 1st leg of a week long trip to africa. she's the highest ranking official from the biden administration to visit the region in recent months. she also traveled to tanzania and found via we are looking forward to this ship as a her, this statement of the long and enduring and very important relationship in

friendship between the people of the united states and those who live on continent of africa. i'm very excited about the future about i'm very excited about the impact of the future of africa on the rest of the world, including the united states of america as spring in she advertising in washington, dc for us. she at 1st it was the u. s. secretary state in africa and now the vice president, and possibly later this year, the president himself, what is washington trying to achieve here? i think everyone knows, and they have transpired that terrified of china, there's a scramble for the mineral resources of africa and they. busy feel that they re gold's african continent for too long. that was us africa so much in 2014 where various problems were made on the president obama. very few of them fulfilled. then we have the africa, us africa summit in december here in washington,

which i covered. and you could see that there was, was a real desperation to show africa. and this is what was actually quite funny. and in december, there was a twin message of what allows you to choose between china and the us started and, and i went but we are your friend and that not because everyone is supposed to ignore the fact that everything we have from washington these days is about countering china, but the message we got from the briefing calls and everything else is no, no, this isn't about china. so expensive just to sort of forget what whatever on whenever one can see. but i'm just looking at what they said in the briefing, briefing, phone call. the vice president is this thing that these 3 countries gone at times news ambia, where the governments are investing in that democracy, specifically at the time when we know there is a global democratic recession. so again, that is that theme that we always hear from the by did ministration about the us being the face of democracy versus autocracy, meaning china. but again, it's a,

it's a tough. so given the u. s. history of propping up dictators over actively preventing democratic movements in africa and then quite nakedly, just just one thing. the resources of africa was interesting. now we have a lot more detail actually about what was discussed of the u. s. africa summit in december, for example. this is where they got all the corporate leaders together, us multi nationals, african multinationals. and now it seems from the various leaks that we got. a lot of it was about weakening labor standards and other standards to make it easier for most of us smoking nationals to go into africa and we can union protections. and so that's the, that's the economic side of the message from the u. s. is that where your friend will public private partnerships? we're not, you know, we're not just going to give help. we give you give your state's money in order to develop their resources, which is also a bit of a problem. because of course, the us you want to say the internal affairs of african nations, china doesn't want to stand and the internal affairs of african nations. meanwhile,

there's the geopolitical issue. when you. 3 and it's often african nations who are remaining non aligned on ukraine for example. so there's fear as well that you know, you, the u. s. is losing losing the messaging war on that messaging war i think what has been really interesting actually and perhaps a little patronizing is as i did it because come on, harris is black. that just shows the people to people engagements between the us and africa. i think what we saw us africa somewhat from african leaders, was a sense that they're going to this with their eyes wide open. they want to choose what's best for their own interest between whether it's china, whether it's the u. s. and so on. and they're not terribly willing to be put into social geo political strait jacket by, but by the us. so it's a bit of a tough. so i guess we have to look at the tone to see whether, you know, all this sort of stuff about, you know, cala higher is going to a recording studio and meeting all to printers and talking about the digital divide . whether they're actually having media coming out of this, i will say one thing that i be african, some of us africa. so actually

a lot of people were pretty thought of missed because bike and didn't have any buy that meetings with any african leaders at the time. which, which, which a lot of people do expect. so they have to do repass in relation to i think it'll be interesting to see what comes out of extra thank you. she have for that she ever times the line for a scene, washington d. c, honduras has formerly broken off decades long diplomatic relations with taiwan, taiwan, and switch to china. it comes after the honduran, foreign minister travel to beijing to discuss establishing ties. this leaves taiwan with only 13 diplomatic allies. china considers cell full timeline as part of his territory to be taken by force is necessary. the u. s. s. honduras is action is a sovereign decision, but has gone to that beaching often makes and t promises mccoy fagley will not engage in meaningless dollar diplomacy with china. in the past few years, china has constantly youth various methods to suppress taiwanese international participation has increased. his military incursions against us undertake regional peace and stability. these precious and threat or not alter the reality that taiwan

and the people's republic of china and not affiliated with each other. neither will they decrease the will of the taiwanese people to insist on freedom and democracy while walking with big strides towards the world. earlier i spoke to vincent chow was a taiwanese politician and former diplomat. he says taiwan is now focusing on strengthening partnerships with its non diplomatic allies. child has been very intent on taking away to one's international state to political means to economic means into foreign affairs means and diplomatic means. and certainly i think hundreds is reflective of, i mean it's, it, it was a bigger blow, i guess. a few years ago when i went the moment ago, i started to switch, given that this is the latest in a long line of been happening. you know, domestically, there isn't a big of a political reaction. is there one was i think people have recognized that china's intent on engaging in the dollar diplomacy. just try to switch telling diplomatic

allies and the best being we can do about it. and response is to strengthen our partnerships with not diplomatic allies, including united states, japan, and other like minded democracies around the world. people are more intent and focused on right now, which is the security here on regional security on cross street issues, uninsured, a great relationship, us and other security partners. so that's sort of where to foreign and diplomatic affairs focus is right now, rather than maintaining a larger amount of diplomatic allies. well, the issue with china that is very difficult to compete dollar to dollar against them. number one, i mean they made a lot of lavish promises that may or may not have come through in the past, but more problematic we use some of these dollar diplomacy have gone to private pockets. and so we thought it's recent expose day, for example by marty just president, that the chinese ambassador, they're open the bride, for example, sitting government officials. so that's sort of what we're dealing against. and i'm not sure we're going to play that game. 20 more had on the news hour,

including president biden declares an emergency in the us state of mississippi way . tony. those have killed 25 people and left a trail of destruction. i'm catherine, soy in kings, not least. and i'll be telling you why security forces are pursuing on capital raiders who have killed hundreds of people and in sport, the nuggets gets the best turn out of the bus center showdown between the n b s conference leaders. ah, 1st voting is underway in cuba to elect a new national assembly. but there's been no campaigning nor opposition challenges . voters instead war indorse nominated candidates givers facing rolling blackouts and an economic crisis where the cost of living a major issue for voters. theresa ball reports from the capitol, havana. we're hearing

a polling station in havana where people have been coming since very early in the morning. took, has their valor that they're picking. the members of the national assembly hall will eventually elect this country's next president among the candidates, our former president by we've got through the current president, me in the mail and people we have to pick among the candidates in their district. you can see right here, some of them in this case is my view, like after she's the daughter of i will go once they go inside this building, they'll have to select in a ballot like this one, whether they will vote for everyone, for some of them just for one and they can also cast a blank, a blank of old candidates had to buy a commission that's loyal to the communist party. there's $470.00 candidates for $470.00 seats. and that's why critics say that q ones do not have the possibility of choosing members of the opposition are not present among bills. candidates and abstention has been on the rise in 20 centuries,

especially if compared to the times of fidel castro, where a cuba every q and a voting age was cast a ballot. the selection is happening in the middle of an enormous economic hardship . wherever you go. people tell you about the difficulties they have to find medicines and food long lines of people trying to get gasoline and constant blackouts. while in the u. s. some members of the cuban community, say the island is far away from being a democracy. reynolds re, for some miami record breaking numbers of cubans are seeking asylum in the u. s. auster casanya arrived in miami a little over a year ago. he says he was forced to leave cuba with his wife and son due to his political activism against cuban government. policies after more than a year under house arrest, state security agents gave him an ultimatum. you have a month to abandon cuba, otherwise we are going to put you in. gil 220000 cubans fled to the united states

last year. many of them settling here in south florida. worsening economic conditions on the island were the main drivers for the exodus. the most discontent that people are on the island is basically about their daily lives. food, electricity, transportation, housing, against that backdrop, many cuban americans and recent migrant scoff at any notion that cubans legislative elections represent a step toward democracy. we find funny, ah, when they talk about an election, when the candidate have no opposition to have been had paid by the party, to run on oppose the issue of the election. so cuba for the majority of us here and soft, laura is irrelevant. cuban officials blame their country's economic woes on us hostility

and it's decades long. cold war era, economic embargo, casanya says the elections won't alter the basic realities of life in cuba. we feel as you on people is. this is a kind of a theory play. and nothing is going to change with this election. as cuba votes for the 1st time in the post castro era, the mood among cuban americans and recent cuban migrants is skeptical to say the least. rob reynolds, al jazeera miami, leaders from spanish and portuguese speaking nations. attending the i barrow american summit warn, rising inflation and migration are risks to regional stability. the whole dominican republic and costa rica confir urgent action on haiti, which is facing a political anti monetary and crisis to see a new and report some santo, domingo. leaders of the more than 850000000 people in latin america and

a stabilizer for sophia. and on that, some of the leaders tried primarily to focus on home great measures to offset the ravages of climate change of the increase in hunger in the region, and also the digital divide. but it wasn't long before shark divisions amongst them came to the surface. the cell voted, chillies president lashed out at de grog was president who did not attend for the banishment of hundreds of opponents. larry throeder de la dictatorship in chile, taught us in the most brutal way, the risk of seeing human rights as something relative. never under any pretext, can we allow exceptions. thus, why esteemed colleagues, we believe it is unacceptable to remain silent about the family dictatorship of ortega and maria in nicaragua. columbia's gustavo federal said that the imprisonment of peruse, former president pedro castillo, was equivalent to a qu, because he was deposed without a proper trial to linked on its you're the end. there was at least consensus on the

need to continue working together on what they can agree on with spain and portugal, promising to bring the voice of latin america closer to europe. to see in human al jazeera santo domingo, the world health organization says more than 20000000 people in yemen are in need of urgent assistance. 8 years into a civil war. 2 thirds of the population rely on humanitarian aid. w h o. s has a health care system as struggling with only 54 percent of facilities. fully functional, as urging international partners to do more, to provide humanitarian aides. the lebanon is facing a political and religious dispute over its official daytime. ours is caretaker, prime minister says daylight savings will now begin at the end of ramadan in april that allows muslims to break their daily fast earlier at sunset. but christian authorities say thou seek to tradition and have put their clothes forward an hour

as is the last sunday in march. as in a harder has more from build. there is more chaos in lebanon. a country already close to collapse because of an economic and political crisis. this morning, the lebanese woke up to 2 times on, usually at the end of march. this country shift into the summer time. but this did not happen because of a decision, an unexpected and surprised decision taken by the caretaker prime minister, along with the speaker of parliament nobility. this really this decision, a car, people by surprise. some institutions like middle east airlines has adapted to the decision. yes. their electronic devices, their clocks remain the same, but they've had to change their flight schedule to comply with the international flight schedule. but, but there's uproar and there's opposition, and there are institutions which are rejecting to comply with the decision. the

argument is it was in discriminant and it shows the way this country has been governed for decades. and it shows how officials and not state institutions are taking decisions without resorting through to parliament to cabinets. and most of the opposition is coming from the christian community, the head of the maronite church, christian parties, because they are concerned that the post in lebanon, sectarian power, sharing system of the president is now vacant. and it is the muslim leaders who are taking the decisions on their behalf. and it's not just that, while those empowered did not give a decision on official reason why this is happening, it coincided with the start of ramadan. and in the league video, you hear the how speaker say, you know, people will, will fast, less, less an hour during this month. so a decision on whether or not lebanon will change to summer timings, which it really has done for, for years now, is causing

a lot of confusion in the country. at least 29 people are dead after to boat carrying mostly african refugees. and migraines sank off the coast of tenicia is the 7th such incident in the last 3 days. the coastline has increasingly become used as a departure point by those heading to europe. in kenya, more than a 100 people have been killed in the last 6 months by armed cattle, waiters, internal politics and the lucrative trade have made it difficult for the government to deal with the problem. catherine sawyer reports from by ringo county. this is a road in north rift valley that cost through 3 counties. it was supposed to make movement in hard in communities easier, but it's a road that is hardly used because of crime, kenya security forces or targeting a 62 kilometer stretch of rolling heels, gorges as covenants and caves that are hard to excess wear cattle feeds,

wanting, the probably some of the most desperate or parts of the country if not for the region. and so, unless we transform this communities and give them a different system of economic survival, is going to be challenging to route out. the routes of mandatory the into ethnic conflict has been made worse by a mix of climate change and politics. people here will do anything to protect the livestock animal theft is nothing new to heard in communities, but some say the practice has been commercialized. the government has told hundreds of people to leave their homes in areas where the security operation is being carried out. most of those who have been displaced have moved to safer houses, but they are now living rough in crowded houses and open space is angeline looming guy. and he says, she's decided to move here because it's near

a following good quality. often nutrition hazard submitted a request to the high court against her an attorney, our contact of the court. since we're actually here, he is not permitted to get involved in anything that can affect his own trial and his own freedom, let alone the freedom of the country. let me ask you a bit more about the numbers because you mentioned nets. now in his allies control 64 seats in there, 120 c class had. so in theory 5 could, rebels could deprive the coalition of an absolute majority. we've heard from gallant yesterday, the defense minister, who as you said now is perhaps going to be forced to step down, or he will be ousted as the far i top minister has been calling for after he made those remarks on saturday. but are they perhaps, are the rebels within the liquid party who could stop the legislation?

and there are few. i wouldn't count in them. they know that there is one boss do is one shoe in this town. and the actor is benjamin antonio. maybe also his son is playing a role, especially on tick tock. but you know, if you're is controlled by our own petune and the, the members of that we could are concerned about the their own future. and i think that in a very good day, and we may get 3 or 4 members of did a good abstaining not voting against this legislation. i just because you know, day care about their own seats right next. now he himself has said he would address the concerns of, of both sides. there's been

a lot of pressure from the streets. is there a way you see him trying to defuse this crisis perhaps while also keeping his coalition partners happy? i used to think that the and i've been, you know, it is there after all a very balanced and i his policy makes sense. but it's not only the streets of tel aviv jerusalem and heifer it is. there are st. dog war street if you like. and the white house and on the street followed him. israeli st followed him all the way to london, paris, and rome. and it seems that hijacked by his father to the coalition. he depends. not so much on really good more than that. where it was that he couldn't know them,

and he can do almost anything. nice problem is there is it on from the author? i bang smoot ridge that holding him in a very sensitive place. okay, thank you so much for sharing your views with a sec, eva. alti joining us there from television. thank you for your time. thank you for now for me, us present. donald trump has used a campaign rally in waco, texas, to criticize a manhattan district attorneys investigation. trump is facing possible criminal charges and mixed bowling ahead of next year's republican primaries. many of his supporters say the legal phrase on nothing more than a witch hunt. how and fisher has more. this was donald trump's 1st campaign rally in 2024, although he did speak to see pike just a couple of weeks ago. and he held it and waco, texas an area which voted overwhelmingly for donald trump in the last presidential election. it's also the foster ali he's hell since he predicted on social media
