ah, flatland to task, keep his real name, max and foam, and he was one of russia's most influential military bloggers on the war in ukraine . at last sunday, he was killed and an explosion at a cafe in saint petersburg, which the russian authorities were investigating as an act of terrorism. a large number of his supporters have gathered for his funeral in moscow. he was known for his vocal support of the war, russian investigators of a rest of the 26 year old woman in connection with the case al jazeera dorsey jibari is at that funeral. in moscow, she's with us now live door to set the scene for us. what's happening there? well, one of the 1st people to pay their respects to the 40 year olds who died. that last week was the founder of the wagner group of guinea ferguson. he laid a,

an axe of some kind with leave on top of the coffin. when he paid his respect to loveland or tar sky was the 1st person to do so before the crowds were allowed. and the people behind me are still waiting in line to make their way to where the coffin is in the cemetery about 20 kilometers. just west of the centre of moscow. at this event has been a very much a being carried out under a very heavy security. it took us quite a long time to get into the grounds of the cemetery and we're still not allowed to go inside at this point, due to security concerns. the metal detectors have been erected around the entrance of the cemetery and we went through as a very thorough check to enter it. we spoke to a number of people who are here, who knew the military blogger and we spoke to someone who knew him quite well. and he was a friend of his who said that he's known him since 2017. and he said, this is not a sad occasion. this is an occasion to celebrate this man's life. and of course,

the only the thing flatland petoskey wanted, was for russia to be victorious in this war in ukraine. and that is what they're hoping will happen in the near future. and what of dalia triple of her daughter who's been charged in connection with the exclusion which resulted in his death yes, at the she's been charged with and carrying out terrace activity. and also in being in possession of explosives and also being part of a group that's a planned dis attack. now, at the 26 year old, we understand one of her lawyers is daniel and berman, who is also representing the wall street journal, a correspondent who has been arrested for espionage charges in russia. according to her, her attorney's, she still in custody for another 2 months until the court proceedings begin. at one of the 1st thing she said when she was arrested less than 24 hours after the attack

was carried out, was that she's being framed and that she is innocent. and she didn't know the gift that she handed to touch. her ski was a full of explosives that carried out to the attack as the 26 year old is someone who's been known to police for taking part in anti war demonstrations in saint petersburg. and for the time being, as she is being held in custody in a court in moscow, i'll deserve dos of jibari reporting live for moscow door. so many thanks. dude. in the us, politicians from across party lines are calling for the release of the wall street reporter who was arrested in russia last week. the democratic and republican leaders of the senate of issued a red joint statement condemning evan. gus glitches detention he's pleaded not guilty. the charges of espionage, the criminal accuses him of spying for the u. s. government. he's the 1st american journalist attained in russia on a spirit. osh charges since the end of the cold war,

a white house corresponded. kimberly, how could reports from the get go as soon as the white house learned about the detention of haven't girl coach a, it has always denied the allegations against him. i asked for these formal charges that have now been leveled against him. the white house is not in any way updating its response, but what i can tell you is that the state department official is saying that what it in the button administration is doing essentially is pressing for fair and transparent treatment. so really what they're saying is that they are going to continue to try and really defend him in these circumstances. and from the bottom line is, as the baton administration is really echoing, that rare bipartisan and condemnation of the allegations that we've had in terms of that statement that has come from capitol hill from the top senators.

mitch mcconnell, as well as chuck schumer, essentially demanding the release of evan girth coverage, how they're trying to handle it. and so far, it's been unsuccessful, has been to get what's known as consular access, and the so the u. s. embassy in moscow has been working unsuccessfully, so far with the government in russia to try and get communication either trying to do this so that they can get the family in contact with the wall street journal reporter and also his employer. about what we've learned is so far, the process has been, i necessarily bure, a product in the words of the state department, been opaque in fact. and so what we're now learning is that it's going to be as some days before there is any sort of communication. gordon sackcloth is the world coverage chief for the wall street journal. he georgia life london. gordon. good to have you with us. we know that evans being held at a high security prison,

do we know anything about the conditions in which he's being held and, and how evan is our lawyers were able to meet with him during this past week, and they report that he is in good spirits and good health, we certainly hope that's true. as you were noting earlier, the state department continues to say it's been denied consular access to evan, which is certainly worrying to us. tell us something about evan, what sort of journalist he is, what he was doing in russia, and whether, what he was doing could in any way be construed, construed as espionage by the russians. you know, i evans, a journalist and we've been trying to say this is loudly and forcefully as we can. he was out there reporting. that's what he does. he was very passionate about the russia story. thought it was very important for the outside world to be able to hear the voices of russian people and to know and understand what's going on in

russia at this moment. and you know, you'll have seen probably the white house press secretary last night tweeted evan girl, which is not a spine. he has never been a spy. he has never worked for the us government. and the wall street journal also be emily, can i see john legation suggestion has the wall street journal been in touch with evans family? how are they dealing with this? we have been in touch, obviously. it's very difficult trying times. his parents were a soviet jewish emigres who fled the soviet union in the seventy's and re settled in the united states. and where evan and his sister were born. and tell us something about that, about the, the security protocol. it how you, how journalists up a being tracked, how difficult it is to work in russia right now. yeah, i think we've seen a real creeping criminalization of journalism over the past year in russia,

which is just frightening, frankly, for the folks they are trying to do their jobs. journalists are routinely followed and surveilled on one recent assignment, when evan was reporting from a town near the russian ukraine border, multiple security officers were following him and, and then would speak to people that evan spoke with. we think in an effort to intimidate what are your legal team's next steps, gordon? well, we're going to continue to fight this every way that we possibly can hope that the us diplomats can, can get cancer, access to him as soon as possible. one final question going had, how did you find out that gordon, that evan, i'm sorry, had had been arrested? well, we got a call from our security folks that we had last contact with him. and then it wasn't until the next morning, a rather long night of waiting and wondering before the

russian states security service put out a statement that they had arrested him. good to hear god. many thanks to day to being with us. that's gordon said left the wall street journal. on the front lines of eastern ukraine, russian media has released a video of what it says are locked in a nursing race in the center of the city of bar moot. on friday, british intelligence of the russian forces were on the verge of insulting the city . president valadez lensky at his troops would withdraw. if they risked being surrounded. russia has been trying to take backwards. for months. it was, it is out from al jazeera still to come on the program. i know you did that with the expulsion of 3 democratic state representatives in tennessee pause condemnation

from the us, vice president julia legalizes. the use of legal force by police after a 4th officer was killed in a month of in sport. napoli have who does that person? what is the 1st italian league title? since the playing days of diego, madonna ah trotter has begun military drills around taiwan just days after the time when he is president, visited the u. s. she met how speaker kevin mccarthy and above that angered bay, jane taipei reported more than 40 chinese jets and 8 warships crossing the median line of the taiwan strait. the unofficial barrier between the 2 sides. chinese state media say the military is rehearsing encirclement of the self government are governing island, which beijing sees as a break away. province, alzheimer's coffee. lopez holly on reports leader with mr. king this meeting

between ty, once president sign one and us officials in taipei has high political implications . on the beer, the government says and needs international support. as threats from china get louder and closer. my face is a young girl. i mean, i would like to reiterate that the people of taiwan loved democracy, seek peace and are keen to for full the responsibility in the international community. china considers taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out using force to take it. the u. s. says it's ready to expedite, weapon sales as an off one of yours many, sharon, i saw often or no fear included was taiwan. and upon no rosa we will deliver as well. now china has launched 3 days of military exercises around taiwan, a response to the taiwanese president meeting earlier this week with us. how

speaker kevin mccarthy. ah, ty wants a fighter jets responded with their own drills as fears grow about a possible escalation. it will be interesting to see just exactly how far the chinese are prepared to push this out. if they do stop an inspect ships and the taiwan strait and the taiwanese, i know we're not going to comply them. there's the potential them for them to ascribe into some sort of exchange of fire. but china remains defiant payment. he pushes him. i mean to when the taiwan issue is not about democracy, it's an issue concerning china sovereignty and territorial integrity. taiwan is an illegal part of our country. taiwan understands it needs international backing, especially from the united states. the question is whether it will be enough to deter beijing. katya little missile again, al jazeera wendell. mimic has a military journalist and former asia bureau chief for defense news. he joins us

now live from ty, pay godaddy with a cert window. what are your thoughts on these military drills? how do they compare in size and scope to previous drills and bows that followed the visit of then? how speaker nancy pelosi to taiwan. well, those exercises were during the lunar calendar months of what we call out goes months. and that's the perfect time to do any sort of military exercise to, to intimidate taiwan. the talent strays waters are perfect during dosma, which was during polosa visit. now we have 2 sweeping and that's another lunar counter in the, in the spring time that allows for the waters to be calm during the time straight. you cannot really do an invasion without those 2 months,

other time to time and straight is completely out of control. it's very difficult to cross. now these, these exercises both of them in august and the current one are designed to a box to one in sort of a spider web. a configuration of air supremacy enables our and the time when these are in a difficult position. they don't really know what to do about this problem, particularly on the east coast where the navy ships, chinese navy ships are getting very aggressive this is eventually will turn into an errand the blockade at some point, the future, most likely after the 2024 elections the chinese will wait to see the cam can get back into power. and if so, they will, they will try to work out an agreement perhaps. if not in the d. p. p gets back

into power, big problems, given that, what's the mood the at the moment in type pay? one has a very strange attitude towards trying his threats. they don't seem to be particularly concerned at the public level. there's no real beer. this is ongoing for decades. and people are quite jaded by our but there is a notable, noticeable increase of us military personnel in taiwan. you can tell that they are us active duty, not just contractors or visiting folks. there are some people down and gosh young. now that are primarily here. obviously doing training, they can't hide them. the hair catch the, you know, little attitude. so the problem in, in taiwan is training and, and they're not really training to fight

a war. they get weapons and but they rely too much on the contractors american contractors to train them, dodge, to operate them sometimes even to fix them. a few months ago, time one sent one of their own initials to china for repairs. clearly an accident. but this is the kind of bungling you see anti ones military. so it's a real nightmare situation. the americans live in a dream world. if they think they're going to think they can stop the chinese from taking taiwan and saying this aloud. and then projection force in this area, when the chinese clearly have the advantage, is not a good idea. could talk to you when many thanks for being with us when will minute and time pay. thank you. north korea has conducted another test of what it says is

a nuclear capable under water drones. these are images released by state media showing tested a similar vehicle last month. north korea has ramped up its weapons tests since the resumption of us in south korea military drill was last month. italian tourist has been killed in a car running at sack, in israel's capital tel aviv 5 people were injured, least say the attacker was a palestinian israeli, who was shot and killed at the scene. it's, i came hours off to, to british. it right is rallies were killed in the occupied westbank. i'll to serious hata abdul hamid reports from all key bodies, jerusalem on what spend a week of escalating tensioning in the region is the kind of threat that israeli forces cannot prevent. lone wolf attacks that happen suddenly and randomly this time under waterfront from a not in television police or calling it a combined ramming and shooting. get deck. in the chase,

the court overturned. the alleged perpetrator got out, but was killed under spoke a few meters away. police say the attacker was a 44 years old man, a palestinian israeli from central israel with no criminal record. one italian tourist, a man set to be in, his thirty's was killed and several other tourist wounded. i was earlier prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister when to jordan valley on the site of another similar attack, a palestinian open fire and a core before managing to escape killing 2 sisters. their mother remains in critical condition and hallmark i can only say one thing. our enemies are putting us to the test again. and once again, they will discover even in this test, that we stand together united, confident in our righteousness. and we will act together with the complete support of our forces, the id f and the security forces. the prime minister said the man hunt was under

way to capture the attacker in retaliation. jewess satler's fed to the streets in various parts of the occupied westbank. he had there seen harassing palestinians driving near ramallah. do you? an effort for humanitarian affairs says that on average, death 3 daily attacks on palestinians or their properties since the beginning of the year. all this comes at a time when there's widespread angle among palestinians, triggered by violent police raids inside alex, almost the spillover threatened to broaden the conflict. after a barrage of rockets were fired from both lebanon and garza and israel carried out airstrikes. in retaliation. tensions are still simmering along those borders. shortly after the tel aviv attacked, the prime minister instructed both the police and the army to mobilize all reserve units. but he's the man who is coming under pressure from many friends from within

his own coalition were some are calling for a tougher stance from many israelis who also changed to do dishes system. and from israel closes, allied to us, which in a rare move, publicly expressed concern over did you use to re overhaul the man who for so long imposed himself as a tough mr. security? now limited in his choices, went up the other 0 in occupied east jerusalem. let's go live now to run. i'll, i'll just hear ron con, is that in ron? what's the mood on the ground after these latest incidents of violence? well, the near nightly rates are still continue across the occupied westbank since the beginning of the year. some 96 people have been killed. 93 of those here in the occupied west bank, but it's the injuries now. there was another israeli raid at last night in, but kenya jeanine or where to palestinians were injured. the actual number of

injuries is astounding. its $2560.00, since the year began, it's april the 8th. and that really is something now that the palestinians are concerned with the trauma of those who have survived those israeli raids are the types of injuries we're seeing from live, but it's being used love ammunition and from people who would just caught in the crossway. that's becoming increasingly more important for mental health or for medical health professionals here in the occupied westbank because that is a huge amount of people that have been injured. so that's really concerning to them . if you're not in the paris indian and you're living near jenny, nablus, hebron places like this. when night falls, you don't really know what to expect. you think they may well be another is really rayden of and oftentimes you're right about that these raises. i say near nightly, so the atmosphere is incredibly tense, but you're also seeing palestinians now wanting to fight back cheering,

attacks like the one that took place in tel aviv out of sheer frustration, frustration about what's been going on in the norden occupied by westbank. since the beginning of the year, been many calls from foreign powers till to lower the temperature in the region is, is that even possible? right? well, the palestinian for mister riddle malak he has been talking to his turkish counterpart of your sla. but they have trying to find ways of reducing the detention, but people at the countries, for example, have been incredibly blunt, saying that this latest round of violence can be blamed on those shocking scenes that we saw in the alex a mosque when israeli forces went in using stun grenades using like bullets using a smoke grenades inside the alex a mosque and hawk tying up palestinian worshippers of the country saying that this was the trigger for that. there was no reason for that to actually happen. the

european union stress of rural has said that they want a de escalation, is israel listening? are the palestinians listening? well, let's find out. it has been calm in alex or for the last night, but we don't know whether that will change. we don't know or all it takes is one lone wolf attack and you are hearing my colleague what abdul hamid, talk about those lone wolf attacks that really the trigger. and that's a sign that frustration i was talking about earlier. i was there was around con, live in ramallah many thanks. did iran? yoshi billing is a former is ready minister of justice. a spokesman for the labor party joins us now . live from tel aviv could have you with the sir. what are your thoughts on this latest violence on and it is the government, the government handling of the situation? well, it's also, it's all full and it is not new. all, it is not a surprise. it is the same tragedy. the same story is repeating itself every year

in drama done. it is, it may be the most sensitive to man's a, but it is not only in in ramadan, it will be carrying away gaming each other. we are killing each other. the world is condemning both sides and nothing is happening. and that is very, very said, i believe that rather than to just to condemn to which is important a, it would be off of for your importance. if for example, some arab leaders decide toys, send the delegation to both sides to ramallah and to jerusalem in order to talk with the little sheeps here and there to ignore. they blames all the interpretations which, which say that in rom, allied leadership is too weak. and split between hamas and father and in israel, and many extremists, all, some very extreme and ministers,

all part of the new government. it is true, it is true, but he doesn't mean that one should not try any desire on the part of the right wing government in israel to take the heat out out of the situation. or is it in its interests to, to, to keep stroking attention? well, i don't believe that the interest of the attorney owl is it too, too heavy now to to increase the flames. and to every blank confrontations between day farthest from the danielle, doesn't they want peace, apparently. and he wants to lower the flames all the time. he wants the status quo a back day. i believe that day if he is a mega byte, it edge regional leadership, which demand for example, to begin to talk based on the arab initiative of 2002. and if the same people are

meeting with a president, our bus in law, marla, it will have a, an impact. there will be a change if you say in advance, since there is a right is government in is we're regretfully, but this is the case. and since there is a weak little sheep in ramallah, regretfully, but this is the case. we don't have to do anything but to call them. and this is not enough. it is saturday, of course, they'll be more protests against the prime minister later today. what more can we expect? first of all, it is very important to continue desert protests a because it means that it is rarely a democracy is not ready to submit to some extreme people who are ready to fight against the judiciary ah, in his way. and i think that so foul, we have won the case and that they, it would be more and more difficult for than attorney allen government to have this

say, a reform is he course eat a in the judiciary. so i, i believe that despite the current situation and despite the dangers, these protest should continue and continue. and i'm glad that there was not a a stop day by day a. those who lead them could talk to somebody. thanks. good, you'll see belinda. thanks television. thank you for having still to come here. all the use our why cuba, as economic crisis has been particularly tough on its elderly population. we'll have a report from havana and in sport, in the brown. james from the los angeles lakers brewster hopes of securing a playoff spot flora here with that in around 20 minutes. ah. follow the skies it brightening up nicely now across northwestern parts of europe.
