4:03 pm
he'll remain in custody for the next 2 months until may 29th. during that time, the investigation will continue, and we expect that the court proceedings will then resume at that point, and possibly a trial, depending on how the investigation unfolds. what we've heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf, who said that his office is aware of the arrest, and that this journalist was detained, red handed for espionage. we also understand that the foreign ministry spokesperson has issued comments on this case saying that what he was doing in acton berg has nothing to do with journalism. and that it's not the 1st time a well known western western or has been grabbed by the hand. the feeling here is that this is an open chuck case for the official so far. that is not what we heard from at least one person who had worked with this journalist in that region in central russia saying that the fixer,
4:04 pm
who arrange interviews for him last week about the involvement of the wagner group in their, their role in the conflict ukraine was what he was gathering information about, that's what the story he was working on. but also the same fixer. i also said that said this journalist made an unannounced trip to that region on wednesday. and how does it hasn't? hadn't been heard from since until news of his arrest has come out. what we understand is that to the authorities here will continue their investigation for the next 2 months until he'll make his next court appearance, tulsa jabari, there with all the latest forth from moscow. thank you very much store so well, let's get the view from washington dc and speech how whitehouse correspondent can be. how could i, kimberly, what are you hearing from officials, they're and well, we are hearing that there is going to be a response from the white house that is still being crafted. and we are waiting that in the interim,
4:05 pm
we have heard from one democratic congressman who has accused the all right and government of essentially kidnapping the wall street journal reporter. what we know is that right now, this is of grave concern to us officials and it comes at a time of really bitter tensions between the 2 nations. you have to remember not only is there great differences over the war and ukraine, but the united states has been particularly vocal about the human rights concerns with regard to the crackdown over those who have spoken out against the russian government on social media and their detainment and arrest when it comes to political protests when it comes to the rest of individual journalists as well as political activists. we should also point out that the timing of the rest of the wall street journal is also of interest to you. us officials, given the fact that it comes just days after the justice department here in the

united states and build an indictment against a russian national who attended graduate school here in the united states. now, according to u. s. officials this graduate student attended a here in the us under a false identity, a brazilian identity, and apparently has been arrested by brazilian officials and is in a brazilian jail currently. and the question now becomes whether or not this arrest is in somewhat retaliatory nature or even connected. we're still trying to work out the details on that. we should also point out that this also comes on the heels of that very well publicized swap that occurred between russia in the united states involving the basketball player. brittany greiner, the w b, a basketball star. she's now back in the united states. that was a swap for the very well known arms dealer victor boot,
4:07 pm
but that did not include american paul whalen, the former marine who remains in a russian jail. so obviously there are some very strong tensions between the united states and russia. and this latest arrest now of a u. s. citizen is only going to exacerbate those tensions. our white house correspondent, kimberly how get there with the view from washington. thank you. kimberly. well media rights group report is an outboard is says this arrest seems to be targeted action. john cavalier heads the eastern europe and central asia office of reporters without borders joins us now from paris. john, i know you've called this retaliation. yes sir. indeed, to arizona is very alarmed by, you know, these are, it looks like a retail actually measured by roche. i guess the united states is part of the friendly die or 2 g d, western journalist walking on

4:09 pm
moscow. so he has already been transferred to moscow and know he's been under on under detention. so he's no more arrested, but he's detained. officially, john, you mentioned there a message to other journalists. i mean, evan is obviously a u. s. citizen, fully pressed, accredited. he'd worked in russia the 6 years. should other western journalists in particular, be concerned at this stage. so sorry, could you repeat this as a us citizen and he is a season journalist who's been working in russia for many years. should. are the western journalist working in russia at this stage? be worried? yeah, it's, it's maybe the 1st over sale. all right, so it's very, very long as you know that many are waste

4:28 pm
2022 was already had the dentist here her policy. and since 2005, i believe, and this year has already registered almost 90 policy and skilled and courteous radio. where does this violence, how strong? who are the policy and under completion, this is nothing new, nothing a rock, nothing. sporadic is something that remains every aspect of your life before model . countless abuse is dignity and humiliation. and what else to expect from an occupation, but main tenant, isa subjugate, and to relate an entire population. so the where it comes from the occupation because noah has on there after 56 years, really if i just he was saying this a systematic, i mean now we're hearing that the security minister at m a been given as part of this coalition government, a man convicted of incitement to racism is going to be, i believe, leading the formation of a new national guard. do you have concerns about that?

4:31 pm
exist. what do you then envision as a way to try to resolve this? if talk of the peace process is just not realistic, it does sound like you're asking you and member states to take sides, right? that lead to do what they are responsible for, a full meaning, the realization of the right of self determination and direct assessment. ammunition cannot be an empty word in a b, and box without a content which is exactly and precisely what, what has happened over 30 years of negotiation under the d. b. also, course of the also process and you hear policy makers repairing to the 2 state solution, obsessively almost fanatically. but d's is not going to happen by itself. it is to be realised that for, for you to happen for the policy and self determination to materialize. your commission must go, and so the colonization, seizure of the land, our next station, and down in the presence of b. it says,

4:33 pm
clearly go, there is a, a disconnect among most israelis the don't see the direct line that links what has been going on under military rule for on the need you to pipe policy territories and the government, they have a place today which is obvious. in fact, francesca albanese, they're the un special repertoire on the human rights situation, the occupied palestinian territories. thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera francesca on united states at least 9 soldiers have been killed in a crash between 2 ami black hawk helicopters during a training mission had happened in the trig county in the state of kentucky. well it's now time for whether he's everton. hello, it's sunny and looks like spring has well and truly sprung the cross. so northern parts of china, mongolia, the korean peninsula. adequate part of japan is lassie. settle fine and sunny and

4:45 pm
it's multi faceted. i, you know, you already talk about bird flew, which is affecting, you know, i think in the last 3 weeks like, 2200000 birds have been depopulated, either because or disease. and then you add in feed cost, you add in a war, and ukraine affecting reprice is kind of a global market for feed sources. and you look at the inputs and, and i think they talked about fertilizers and these different inputs. and so what you have is, is exacerbated, you know, inflationary cost and labor cost and transportation that they compound the issues related to. i've heard of course and say that this isn't just a problem in the u. s. in europe. we've been hearing also in a number of asian countries to as the japanese restaurants are now taking egg items off menus and in many parts of the wild exit stay a hugely important source of affordable protein. so how funk of the spread so one of the biggest concerns about this particular out outbreak or are kind of a health event is that it didn't stop. so typically we, you know, we would have thought it maybe the last year we would have saw some relief and it
4:46 pm
still spread thing. and it is, it's not focused on just on america and america, europe, asia, in and continue to spread. and we're not seeing an end inside for that. and so the problem is exactly that she protein. it's an easy access. and so what happens when the prices rise is pretty, you can't, you can substitute away from the product we're going to need that is in terms of multiplication, we bake things. and so we're looking for alternative solutions in terms of monitoring for valence. but economic impacts of this are going to continue. and i don't think we're going to see if stream relief in the media future because we're still going to have to try to control the h b. i. and the feed sources are going to have to be dealt with 1st data and you say this is going to be resolved in the short term. how long could prices remain that i could potentially get even higher? i'm you know, it, we're seeing this like cyclical movement. so i think whenever you see some kind of relief in the outbreaks happening and we see some are these coming back down. i
4:47 pm
could speak to the u. s. prices have that were exceptionally high and november and december of 2022. they came down and they're coming down except for high seasonal demand holiday demand. around april i think that, you know, hopefully that we're going to figure out the supply issue and hopefully the prices will come down and much more moderated response in terms of the, of the input cost on those. so i think in the medium term we might see some relief coming. i don't think we're going to get to 2021 levels anytime in the near future . and hopefully by the end of the year, we'll see prices that are much more reasonable. and we'll see a market that has a little bit of relief for consumers, say to thomson, then assistant professor agricultural economics at university of arkansas. thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us here on algebra. jaden. thank you. well, as a says to base over the right to mind the pacific ocean floor from minerals essential to renewable energy, nickel, copper,
