exposes and questions, they used them to be most of our around the globe. on al jazeera inequality, corruption, repression and rage, the political, it just decided to cut to the piece of cake. i'm sure it won't be a documentary to explore the desperate states of democracy in lebanon a through the eyes of those who are losing hope every day. our dreams are becoming blue. democracy, maybe democracy for sale on al jazeera. ah, the

you're watching the news, our life from a headquarters, and i'm very navigators coming up in the next 60 minutes. me and mars military says it carried out tuesday's air strike on a village. more than a 100 people died in that time. ukraine's president accuses moscow of be heading a ukrainian soldier. the kremlin says video, the legit incidents needs to be authenticated. air quality and beijing drops of heavy sandstorms hit the capitol and other provinces in china. and we look at why several states in the western us could be forced to cost their water consumption. joshua for to chelsea, gearing up to face around madrid in the champions league, quarter finals. while manchester city have one foot in the semi office meeting by munich, serena in the 1st leg, i control that ah

hello, we begin this news hour with the admission from me in margin to that it carried out an error strike that killed more than 100 people on tuesday, so the military said those killed in the village of procedures were fighters from the people of defense force and were a legitimate military target. but as tony chang reports, evidence from the scene suggest most of those killed or civilians. many of them children to people shelter in a ditch. the sound of heavy caliber gunfire can be heard in the distance, the sound of an army firing on its own people. government. and the frank admission from the spokesman for the military government on state tv was without howard from your body. yes, of course we launched the attack on them. we were informed that pdf were killed at new event under the attack. they are opposing our government. we met major general zalman turn 3 weeks ago in the capital ne p door and asked him about similar tags

that have killed schools of civilians. he said then as he does now, these are legitimate military targets and those killed a competence. but new and distressing footage from the aftermath of the attack shows bodies that clearly those of children as corpses are removed from the area. the death toll has risen to more than 100 people. the highest number killed in a single events since the crew. the final number of those who died may never be known because of the severity of the attack. al jazeera asked the exiled unity government. whether this is likely to stop our groups fighting against the gentle route. we started our revolution with basic hunting rifle, so this is an unfair fight in many ways. but the military's weakness is that they don't have the manpower and there's no support from the people. targeted sanctions

from the u. s. u k. to try and cut off supplies of fuel for memos. air force seems to be having little effect on the military government affairs set on a scorched earth policy. tony chang al jazeera bank of russia, being accused of be heading a capture ukrainian soldier, the ukrainian president valadez lensky said this act would not be forgotten or forgiven. we have to correspondence on the story. dorsey jabbar is in moscow, will speak to her in just a moment, but 1st let's bring and joe hall, joining us from keith to tell us what more we're learning about this alleged incident jonah, and whether the video has been independently verified. but we've grown used in the last 14 months, so somebody to seeing pretty gruesome footage of war. but this particular instant makes very grim viewing indeed. and for that reason, we're obviously not able to broadcast it. there are 2 videos in fact that emerged

overnight. one showing reporting to show 2 ukrainian military corpses beheaded. the 2nd video is far more graphic. it purports to show a russian soldier torturing and then beheading a ukrainian prisoner of war. and there are signs in the video that the ukrainian may have been alive when the heading process begins. importantly, it is impossible to independently verify this video equally impossible to independently verify its context. the units involved where it happened or when it happened, although it's been pointed out that the foliage in the surroundings in the video, stickly lush and green, suggest that this was taken at the very least. well before the start of winter. last year it's gained a lot of traction on social media and has generated some significant comment here in ukraine. dmitri ker, labor, the foreign minister, likening russia as

a result of this video to islamic state. and of course, president and ski releasing a statement of his own calling on world leaders to react, he said, don't expect these to be forgotten by us. we are not going to forget is what you have to say. efficient seat, there's something that no one in the world can ignore. how easily these beasts kill this video. the execution of the ukrainian captive, the world must see it. this is a video of russia, as it is the kind of creatures they are. there are no people for them. a son of brother, husband, he someone's child. this is video of russia trying to make this new norm, such a habit of destroying life. so that the comment from the landscape, let's bring and dorothy jabari who's joining us from moscow to find out whether there's been any reaction from the kremlin door to this.

yes, we just heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf a short while ago. and he had a brief statement on this video. he said that 1st he needs to be verified. and that it is appalling and rather disturbing footage that it shows we haven't heard from any other high ranking officials in the country so far about this video that circulating but according to the be true pest called it 1st needs to be verified. and they also, the criminal agrees that it is quite disturbing. i think they're going to have to wait and see down the line how they can react once. and if their footage is verified. yeah. ok. so you'll keep us across the story. but let me ask you about another development from russia. we understand that parliament is, is due to discuss new conscription legislation. what's that about? well, this is a bill that was 1st introduced in february, february 22nd, to be exact, just before the war, broke out of 2022 in the state duma. that is the lower house of parliament in this

country where it proposed some changes to the mandatory military service that men in russia between the ages of 18 and 27 have to go through. they have a one year military service that is mandatory. the bill that was passed in its 3rd and final reading in the duma house on tuesday. basically, states that currently the process is that men are received a letter from the military via post that they need to report for duty. and they need to go to an enlistment recruitment office of the military. they have a window of 20 days once the letter is received. now, when the defense ministry issues these letters, it takes them up to 7 days to verify that it's been received by the person they sent it out to. now the changes they proposes that this is going to become a digital system and according to the criminal, it is because it was the enlistment process was such

a chaotic mess over the past few months and they decided to move to a digital system. now that means as soon as this person's details are uploaded on the system, they have, they will be considered served. they will have 20 days from that date that they are up. the details are uploaded to report to a facility to report for duty, and also immediately they will not be allowed to leave the country. that is one of the main issues. that means it becomes much more difficult for men in this country to dodge that a military service that they have to go through. and if they don't report within that timeframe, then there is a number of restrictions that will be placed on them that will make life very difficult for them. not only they won't be able to leave the country, they will not be allowed to rent any property. they will not be allowed to register any businesses. so really they're trying to find all kinds of ways to ensure that the system is a smooth one. ok, thank you so much. dorothy jabari reporting from moscow. plenty. morehead on the

i'll just renew our, including the financial community, has been absent minded in relation to the them of the people of somalia. here is a famine, the un she pleads for health as drought and from all your forces, hundreds of thousands to leave their home on why some people in colombia are refusing to leave their homes even though and nearby volcano could at any time. lebron james lead the lakers into b and b, a playoff will show you how they did it coming up and i so the united nations secretary general is warning. a famine is looming in somalia as it faces its worst route in decades. and when you get terrorist says, the international community must act to prevent a catastrophe. agency medical assistance is needed for 8300000. so

molly's and we must now act to prevent the capacitors. the 2020 city madison response plan which seeks $2600000.00 us dollars is just 15 percent funded. when firm in loose, this is totally an acceptable catherine, sorry, as a mortgage issue and she says people want help building resilience not just aid. is here to rom popped this humanitarian a foot because he thing many, many people in somalia are suffering. so we went with him to a region in the south west where thousands of people are making their way to that area in by dora. just trying to get help, but then the assistance there is very, very limited and people are leaving rough. so the secretary general basically are hard conversations with people who are displaced there about their needs,

which are massive. and he also calls on the international community do more of a farm in thousands of people of $40000.00 people actually have died. and the last one and a half years, i have the secretary general also help us with the president about the, you know, the security, the security situation in the country. we have been talking to many somalis. oh, who is saying that beyond the aid beyond the help that they need, they want to see more in terms of measures of resilience because a lot of families are saying that they need to break away from this cycle of violence and dire and drought that we have seen for so many yes. the un secretary general has visited somalia many times before because of drought and violence. but

this time the drought is was 5 rainy seasons, half filled in the horn of africa, somalis are most affected. more than 40000 people have died in the last one and a half years. many more have hard to leave their homes. the terrace is here to call for much needed humanitarian support. we have launched an appeal to international community. only 15 percent of that. the deal has been funded until low in social community has been absent minded in relation to the grammar of the people of somalia. it's time to look seriously into these people that is suffering too much. the city of pi door is bodily heat. many somalis are coming here from different areas, but help in the camps is limited. some are also fleeing conflict, as the government carries out and offensive against the armed group. all sure, bob,

president hath and shake. muhammad said he's government is winning the war at the moment. do we working together with other international partners, this the position program of the pose of job or deliberated areas? this will look to the urine to increase critical investment. and this areas us, these people, as our citizens has been denied the accessibility of susan's certain services for more time. the army has taken back important areas held by the group for mid. yes. also, bob is still able to carry out a talks and scare people with harris visits shows a glimpse of how uncertain films are here. mogadishu was partially locked down, major rooms were closed and no one was taking chances. but that uncertainty is

a life of many somalis who called his home. katherine saw all jazeera by door somalia. italy's cabinet has announced the state of emergency on immigration. so the move comes after a sharp rise and the number of people crossing the mediterranean more than 31000 people have arrived in italy so far this year. that's more than 3 times the number for the same period last year. the state of emergency will last for 6 months. let's now speak deferred in undo, nelly federal. she has a former italian ambassador to the you. he's joining us live from room about that are welcome to the al jazeera news hours. so what is the ultimate aim behind and answering the state of emergency. and i didn't mention, you know, a rival from the countries in europe has increased it least more

number of years by which to 100000 or even for a year in your program to reset the live site on the people. these people that arrive and most of them are on the coast to be getting there and when any vision. and the 2nd is to organize by for those my life to remain on the paintings, national protection, that's just there. so there are some concern amongst human rights organizations who

have come out and said that this is going to allow the far right government of georgia, maloney to just repatriate those migrants who, who the government deemed as illegal. and this could be a human rights concern. nice people come by alicia. she knows dr. mitchell must the majority of people in my life and they do not have a ride for the capable of teaching a lot of the complex and then they wouldn't need them. so they're probably trying to organize

a huge number of holes, right. but declaring a state of emergency is not really a long term sustainable solution for at least i mean the last time a declarative state of emergency, when it came to migration issues was, was back in 2011. so how does it lea actually begin to strengthen its asylum, refugee systems, and really address the integration challenges that are taking place in the country? the merchant is mad to provide ours proven. i mentioned before the distribution of myra over a quote from entering the pound that may be in making to region. so we just refresh, stop these people and all of the and the

2nd on the 2nd to get additional term may appear. i think it's meant to be when you put the message that was probably measured by the spanish, from a migratory editor. because on the one hand, we need more people coming from countries outside euro needed by our market. but we cannot accept all the specials that we got. it was conflict results enabled to be the labor market. and then i'm sure that

was better management. thought. my kitchens formally. my what about relations with you going forward? what is it really wants to see from the european union? what you would like for me is there is no more of the right the not the very call to being so much for me. but i'm ready for reasons about a similar problem. they don't come from the people that are coming is where the problem of the legal relation problem and it's very hard to imagine that we'd

be willing and capable of providing. so the notting the with with a better sharing migrant at least in the short term. ok. we'll leave it there. thank you for speaking to us from room. thank you. thank you. today. now the us president joe biden is in northern ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of a good friday peace agreement. bringing under simmons. he's joining us from belfast, so what's on the agenda for president bite? and andrew well, 1st up is a meeting between the u. k prime minister and joe biden. that is very short, but it will be substantial. we think in terms of the issue of peace in northern ireland and it's an amazing celebration 25 years of peace. the good friday agreement which brought in power sharing at for the power sharing isn't happening. and that is the key issue at that aspect to the devolve, government was negotiated

a great length in 1998. but now the democratic eunice party in protest against trade rulings of trade parent restrictions, effectively post bricks. it means that the d u p. have walked out on the government and even with adjustments now made giving easier trade the u. k. and lifting above the restrictions. and that is in the winds of framework. there is still resistance in the d u p. and so there is instability, politically here. that's something that's on the table at that meeting on from there. some else to university, and this is symbolic. it's a symbolic factor to the change in north while and how people's lives. i've become freer, have become safer over that the past 25 years. this district used to have poverty and division and violence. now it's vibrant night. life economy booming,

and this university with 15000 staff and 15000 staff and students is vibrant very much so. so they're looking at the positives. but the overshadowing factor is that political stalemate at the storm on sate seat of government somewhere they would have been. or if, if, if it had been different, there would have been a gathering there. he would address parliament biden would have been put in a position where they could really celebrate, but no, there is a negative factor to this visit yet. so andrew, evan is his visits, extracting some criticism of some people saying that in fact is just too short. so why is the schedule so sort that is a big question and there's a lot of people jumping on the fact that there was no in real engagement by the

white house in certain aspects of northern ireland life. where the difficulties in, in, in finding venues and getting things right. as criticism of downing street criticism of rashid soon acts, policies as the, even a suggestion from ali and foster, a former d u. p. eunice leader, where she said joe biden hates thank you. k that's been firmly rebutted and put to sleep by a special adviser to biden here in belfast. but it has to be said that louis sensitivities, they rate they, they all relate most of them to brexton the u. k. relationship with the european union and how the good friday agreement could have been affected by a hard border in between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. that didn't happen. those at border in the c or this was goes back to the boys johnson days. and that led to really big trade restrictions difficulties for northern ireland in terms of business. and of course the rock hard feeling of the else,

the unionists that it's, it's simply not all that they have to be part of the rest of the u. k. instead of being treated differently, so that is still ongoing and that potentially could threaten the piece eventually, which is why joe biden is desperately trying to have a bigger influence on the situation. but the really the jury is out on that. okay, thank you. anderson manns reporting from belfast still had only al jazeera news. our. my people in some parts of china are being told to wear masks and remain indoors and its advantage. inter milan, again, been for couple the goals on tuesdays champions. league matches coming up before. ah,

it's a remarkably windy day to day for the british isles, at least it's more reminisced of march and april. this big storm is winding up, throwing itself across a good part of western europe. that'll change things for a lot of people. so with the wind is rain, rain is in blue. of course of course you hit the alps and it's cold enough. the snow in muddy me cold enough. the snow in the pin irons, for example, the english mountains. so there's a picks then rather change this is not fitting caught his spring like as it should is all heading in this direction. where is recently been quite cause a bit of a break down the balkans. it's slowly warming up. not so beyond that in turkey, for example, is still cold and windy. now vienna shows his incoming storm system was really that it will be a bit windy. he's going to drop temperature significant for 15 down to 6. the next couple days bringing rain with it. and so of course, for the austrian alps. so here's the picture, then take you into thursday. significance though seems like in the mountains between spain and france, crossed the outs as well with range the south of that significant red in slovenia,

and italy. it's not gonna feel quite as nice as it has done recently in spain, for example, in north africa, it's finally stopped raining in molly, but the wind is still the dominant thing. full of dust and sand in a hot soho. ah, it's the holy month of ramadan nero. ladon, houston, with the you look at changing the she says to do cookie from new zealand to iceland . we explore how muslim minorities hope with the shortest and longest fostering alice on the planet was to be quite difficult. i had the chief plight reviewed so water with some dates, and i will have to add those base to y fast after amada at amada, on north and south on al jazeera. when the news breaks this hedge nationwide strike since the beginning of the year when people need to behind. and

the story needs to be told, i just want to re such deeply and dive into its history and origin, with exclusive interviews and in depth. about korea professionally sees the cherry blossom 1st. al jazeera has teens on the ground tip when you move award winning documentaries and lives ah ah, on the top stories on the al jazeera news, our men mars genta has admitted to carrying out an air strike on tuesday that killed more than a 100 people military said the aim of the attack on the village of procedure was to restore peace in the region. russia is being accused of beheading

a captured ukrainian soldier. the ukrainian president valez of his lansky said this act would not be forgotten or forgiven. the kremlin calls the video awful and says it's often to city needs to be confirmed. un secretary general antonio terrace is warning of a looming famine in somalia as it faces its worst route in decades. he says the international community must act to prevent a catastrophe. colombian authorities are warning that the nevada, that ruiz volcano could erupt at any time putting hundreds of families at risk. for many people are refusing to leave the surrounding area. smoke has been billowing from the volcanoes crater for days. alessandra appeared to report from nevada louis carrying few belongings, the mothers and children of these families who live in high risk areas close to the nevada. that is reasonable cain or, or reluctantly heating the government's call to evacuate. but,

but this is obviously you get scared, especially the kid this. my husband on his own has more ways of saving himself. then if he were all here. so i guess it's better to leave to make sure nothing happens to debbie. i'm. a local authorities are offering transportation and food to convinced him to leave, but their husbands say they are staying put to protect their arrow and crops bows. i leave the moment or 2, i can't leave from one day to the other and abandon everything. who milk the cows? what happens to our investment? i understand there's an alert, but we don't really know what will happen. and dick is roughly 57000 people live in the shadows. if they nevada, they have released volcano, this seems to be gearing up for a major eruption since march 31st. so tories have reported a spike in seismic activity within a snow capped peak from 50 tremors, a day to an average of $6000.00 or more. colombia geological service issued an

orange alert, meaning and their option could happen in days or weeks. and the government called for the immediate evacuation of 2500 people in a 15 kilometers radius of the volcano. but to me, you're one of the surrounding towns tells us it has been difficult. it says here, it's easy to issue an order from the capital, but the reality on the ground is different. we are pressured by the central government to get people out what they don't understand how complicated reality is . more incentives, outer it is around the edge since the volcano was responsible for the countries deadliest natural disaster. 37 years ago. this canyon was the result of the 1985 that were rotten when i j. again, pick land, slide of mud and rocks travelled for more than 50 ki lama if there's wiping out completely the town of a meadow and killing 25000 people. at this time, no one expected such

a disastrous explosion and no one was notified quickly enough. the colombian government says it's serious about avoiding a repetition of the past, saying it might issue more stringent evacuation measures that's necessary. those leaving now just hope to safely be able to come back to their loved ones and their lives. i listened that i'm petty as ita live either that royce columbia, air quality warnings are in place in china because of sound storms. large areas in the north had been blanketed with sand after winds carried it from mongolia. jessica washington reports impeaching scully scrape is a hidden behind a haze of dust as a quality plummets this week. ascent thrown early in the week brought severe pollution to the capitol po, commune. sure. this in the poor. i think the sandstone that definitely battled my health, but not overreacting to it what i can do, which is to wear

a mask over the chinese capital, is home to 21000000 people. this is the 8th sandstorm to hit the city this year. the baiting ecological environment monitoring center says the air quality index has reached levels that a hazardous to human health. some residents told out a 0 they a carrying on with normal activities. but also being cautious. would you the, i felt the impact from the sun store, but he's very limited. we don't see the sunstorm too often. just make sure you have proper protection and you will be fine. the sandstorm started in mongolia and swept across china, blanketing cities and dust and disrupting traffic. oh, about when i got back from work last night, i think the air pollution increased and i felt uncomfortable breathing. when i came out this morning i put my park a hood on because i think my body smells like dust and i brought a thicker mask ill just from the storms also reached japan and south korea, causing these and pul visibility, turn is a quality, has improved in recent years,

due to stricter environmental regulations on factories, but sandstorms are common spring time occurrence for beijing because of its proximity to the gobi desert and deforestation in the north of the country. conditions have begun to ease, but more heavy winds and storms are full cost for later in the week. jessica washington out to sierra, let's make her laurie min avita who's the lead analyst at the center for research on energy and clean air. joining us from helsinki, welcome to the news our so how unusual is this sandstorm and beijing, b. g theory, as the sandstorms, pretty much every spring. so it's not fun to use only baset that says the spring however asked be unusual in the number of sam stores of biggest there as being of warm and dry weather in the desert areas that has meant that there's more dust that can be blown off by the wind and there have be the kinds of conditions of east than

china. there are growth for, for the formation of both sandstorm, every service and industrial smoke episodes, those of which have affected beijing. right. and isn't just beijing because i understand that it's also spread to other north northern regions. is that correct? absolutely. this episode is effect deep several will probably cease to the south of beijing as well, and has even affected the shanghai area. so he spread exceptionally of far to the south and, and to the most populated areas of eastern china or what's been the main driver behind the stand sandstorms. i'm sorry you wrote up in the main reason, what's the main driver behind the sandstorms under some storm happens when you have strong winds that low of dust from the deserts and that it did not end up being

in the populated areas. but one of the key drivers making these events potentially more problematic is, is climate change, which is leading to warmer and dryer weather east and china. china has to be working to expand forest suit, the forest areas in order to control the dust. and there is, of course, also address boundary component to this from mongolia which chinese already scanned control. and there are developments such as let use change um, clearing up land or coal mines or, or other developments that work in the opposite direction. what does this exposure mean? for, for people who are living there and the impact on, on their health, and the extremely high levels of dust will irritate your eyes, your road. of course, your erase even your skin caused coughing and dice,

particularly problematic for people with respiratory conditions such as asked, not the good news is that the dust particles in these are sent. storms are not as hazardous as the industrial pollution that beijing experiences during much of the rest of the year. and because of the product, because the particles are larger, they don't make their way indoors into apartments and, and all these as, as easily. yep. and the industrial type of pollution, so it's easier to shelter your shield yourself by sheltering in doors. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you for speaking to us from helsinki. thank you. now, the future of the peacekeeping operation of molly will be up for discussion during a un security council meeting later on wednesday. some nations have already pulled out of the mission known as municipal french forces were outside the mission, but have already withdrawn. nicholas hark reports. strong together in haste.

this makeshift camp lies on the outskirts of molly's capital by myco has been built by people who have recently fled violence sweeping the country. among them fed him at gwinnett, she says when maryan soldiers marched into her village and thought she would be safe, but instead they killed her husband. and then she then describes a wave of attacks carried out by fighters linked to al qaeda and government backed militias. she says, a un peacekeeping force base not far away, but has never come to protect the people in her village. i came here because it's no longer safe in my village. there's so much uncertainty and the un soldiers, they just come after the battle. look at what has happened and then leave again. un peacekeeping troops, mostly from african nations, are stationed in multi after french troops intervened to stop armed groups from invading the country. in 2013, costing nearly $1000000000.00 a year. and with more than 180 soldiers killed,

it's the most expensive peacekeeping operation carried out by the u. n. in terms of money and the lives of its personnel. the un peacekeeping mission, also known as the newsman, says, it has the mandate to protect the population, ensure the peace agreement is respected and assist molly and authorities in building reconciliation in an interview with algae or molly's prime minister, says the mission is not delivering on its mandate to protect the population that won't allow us to end in as an individual, molly, unless it is only shown. benton 00. demetrius, 2000000 company is employ metro fair and i get debt, good luck or belgy i did. there is a little and then as soon as you know, i said he did keys open when you get the food lab 11 exist, let me enter a new movie. the new will let my dad this you to. it

may be another to you forces from several european countries have left the un mission. after molly's june to hired russian mercenaries from the wagner group to support its own troops, un independent human rights experts accuse fighters from factor of carrying out extra additional killings and torturing people in molly they are meant to protect. and so the you insecurity council meeting to discuss the future of the mission at stake is the fate of a people seemingly alone and vulnerable in the face of mounting violence. nicholas hawk al jazeera, the united nation says it's considering ending its mission and i've got a son because of the taliban. the ban on women working for the organization. the un says the restriction violates international law. the taliban has reimpose strict regulation since returning to power in 2021. they include banning women from education. they're also not allowed to work for agencies and most of the public

sector. human rights watch has called for the release of the former 2 and is the prime minister and vice president of the opposition on the another lover. yet he's been detained since december without appearing before a judge. that yours is reportedly being prosecuted for decisions and policies made while he was an office. the rest comes amid an escalating cracked on, on opponents to president price. if i yet, the international monetary fund is warning. the global economy is a perilous phase with historically low growth and a rising risk of international recession. the i m f. forecast global g d p growth of 2.8 percent this year and 3 percent next year. that's lower than the previous year. among the group of 7 nations, the u. k. economy has the worst forecast. it's expected to shrink by 0.3 percent this year. the us economy, the world's largest predicted to grow 1.6 percent. b r m f is predicting 3 percent

growth through to 2028. the lowest 5 year outlooks and forecasts were 1st published will therefore, entering a tricky phase during which economy growth remains low by storage standards. financial risks of increased yet inflation as not decidedly decisively turned the corner. policymakers will need a steady hand and clear communication. first, financial and with financial instability contained monetary policy should remain focused on bringing inflation down, but stand ready to jumps promptly as financial developments. my demand for us treasury secretary is optimistic about american economy and the banking system. despite the i m f warnings, i believe our banking system remains strong and resilient. it has solid capital and liquidity, and the u. s. economy is obviously performing exceptionally well with

continued solid. i job creation, inflation gradually moving down a robust consumer spending. so i'm not anticipating it down turned in the economy. although, of course that remains who risk. douglas raniker is a non resident senior fellow at the brookings institution. he says the i am at forecast isn't all doom and gloom. i'm hesitant to actually ascribe a grand vision for the global economy from the world economic outlook or the other benchmark and ports im going to be issued this week. i think a lot of this is, and i don't want to call a group think in the sense of the negative connotation of that. but i think this is a lot of hard working economists who were at their desk and they are asked to plug in the numbers of their forecasts and the zeitgeist of the moment,

which has been pretty negative on the back of the recent s, b, b, and other financial issues has probably made those inputs on a bottom up basis, probably worse than they might be in a couple of months or that they would have been a couple of months ago. that doesn't mean that the i enough is i was the opposite of sugar coating. you're making it worse than they really feel, but i'm not sure this is a strategic forecast of doom and gloom for the global economy. i think it's reflective of a little bit of bad timing on the part of when these forecasts are put to bed. if you've got a pure economic forecasts based on limited barriers to trade and a globalized economy, that basically means good services and capital can flow freely. that's probably pretty good for your growth prospects if you start to impair that. and let's be clear, it's not that it's decoupling in the pure sense of the world, but well,

there's clearly a technological set of barriers being established. the biden administration has proposed water cuts and several american state to prevent the colorado river is reservoir from dropping to critical levels. it's source is in the rocky mountains. it spans more than 2300 kilometers. and 7 us states rely on the river for their water supplies. areas in the northwest and mexico depends on it to rob reynolds has more. after 23 years of severe drought, the colorado river and its reservoirs dwindled to alarmingly low levels. if they dry up even further, it could cut hydro electric generation and water supplies over a vast area. worst case scenario where everyone will void with you know, water. busy river, available to flow in the river to serve nearly $40000000.00 people

in the west depend on the colorado for drinking water and electricity together with billions of dollars worth of foreign products. even though we have a largely above snow above normal snow pack in the colorado we still, it doesn't mean we're going to have great run off at this point on top of the fact . the drought has been such a long standing drought over the last, you know, 5 years to a decade, plus that it's going to take a number of years to overcome this deeper drought that we have. western states or allocated water under the terms of a 100 year old treaty. but despite protracted negotiations, the states have been unable to agree to changes and cuts needed to address the shrinking water supply. the by did ministration, proposes equal across the board cuts for each of the 7 states in the compact up to 25 percent. if approved,

that would certainly cause some pain. perhaps especially for farmers who use 75 percent of the water pipe from reservoirs, but also for city dwellers certainly will transition or adapt to less phase sure cuts more additional over here in the western united states. we've seen extreme rainfall over the past several months, but scientists say one wet with sure is not enough to make up for 23 years of severe drought. so it seems that one way or another, the people of the west are going to have to get used to using water more sparingly . rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles. o peter blake is the co founder and senior fellow at pacific institute for studies and development environment and security. he says, the federal government has to get involved because states couldn't agree on how to handle the water shortage. significant drop in the amount of water in the colorado

river and there is o m, excessive demand. there's always been for many, many years now. well understood that the demand for water exceeds the reliable supply. and the states have not been able to come to an agreement about how to share that shortage. and as a result, the reservoirs have dropped and they're simply not enough water now to meet all the demand. well, the problem has been that the 7 states that share the water resources of the colorado river had not been able to come to an agreement about how to share that shortage. so now we have the federal government stepping in which managers, the big reservoirs on the river saying you're going to have to come to an agreement to equally share, the shortages. the states themselves will have to decide internally who gets cut within the states, whether farmers or cities do. but the federal government is stepping in and suggesting we're going to have to see equal cuts among the states equal

proportional cuts. and hopefully that will break the impasse that we've seen up till today. because without an agreement among the 7 states, the reservoirs would eventually be drawn completely dry. the ecosystem would be damaged, and we would still see impacts on farmers and the cities, no matter what. so the fact that the federal government is now beginning to step in hopefully will lead to ultimately to a solution for all the states. but given the risks of climate change to the threat of climate change. now something is going to have to be done. still ahead on al jazeera, we look ahead to a huge game of the champions league as chelsea get ready to face holders rail madrid in the quarter finals. ah

ah ah ah ah

ah ah hello again for the sports insurance drama. thank you to rein manchester city manager, pat quartier la said he was emotionally destroyed after watching his side beach vine minex the reno to take control of that champions. lee caught a final tie city were at home for the 1st leg and school there opener after 27 minutes and walter strike. it was that from a rotary on his week i left versus while. that's the spanish midfield as a 1st goal in the competition. and it saw his side go into half time, one the luck with 20 minutes to go, jacquila stole possession. his back hale found elling, holland who picks out been out a silver to head in cities of seconds, holland and then it got in on the act of scoring his 45th goal of the season. the now holds the record for the most goals by

a premier league player across all competitions in a single campaign. isn't comfortable with emotionally i'm destroyed. i have her after more years to the so you know, it was so demanding game, of course, a good result. really, really good, but you have 95 minutes. i've been there many, many times. 3 years there. i know in europe. esteem is a special to knock out this type of teams. you have to make true good games. no, just one. a think it's not a deserved result that does not tell the story of this match. we did not get the rewards that we deserve. this does not feel like a 30, but it is a 30. and of course, it's a huge, huge task. now to turn this around, but now we will not give up. we are realistic, but we will not give up. and football is football and home mentioned,

germany is the whole merchant, germany and like they say, we will, will be, it will, it will not be over until we are in the shower. it's advantage inter milan in their quarters final with belly 3 co nicolo barella gave the italian side than these early in the 2nd half delmario with 10 minutes ago and speak a gave away a penalty for a 100. my former in supplier is around mario room. normally lou hawker stepped up and he scored at the funeral. info with us went in 7 games and stuff for their 1st law in the 75. it's a tough task of facing this man. and frank lamp or his chelsea side are in spain to take on defending european champions round the trip in the 1st of their course. a file is less than a week since lampa was appointed interim manager following the sacking of grand. also, the champions league is chelsea's only remaining height of silverware this season and they go into the game with rail having failed to win any of the last 4 games.

when you get to the stage, wherever the, the reason is, there will be pressure and ram if it favorites. yes. and, and now i understand why because of the difficulties of our season and those things . i don't think it's a problem. i think those things are a fine. there's no kara in football then trying to prove people wrong and insensitive pressure. i'm not right about that. football is level is pressure. and if he can handle depression and, you know, you know, a big travel, you know, a big brown coat collar. i'm sure lottie is certainly a man lamp odd nose. well, he played under and she'll see you during the italians 2 years in charge of chelsea and the madrid bosses says he's not enjoyed seeing his former club a struggle this season. i'm sad yes. from the memory of this club, this, the people that are still working out, and i am a part of that jen sales course because i spend 3 hours

a really nice that be back. no, i think the lumber. i hope that lumber is able to do it for us to jump with them. wednesday's other quarter final is an old italian clash between ac milan and napoli . napoli away for the 1st leg, and missing the main man up front. victor also men who's out injured, napoli are 16 points, clear outlets off of the italian league, but they did lose formula home to milan 10 days ago. the rom, james led the kids into the n b a playoffs with a dramatic come back. when over the minnesota timber wolves, james top scored with 30 points as the lake has overturned, a 15 point deficits to take the victory. it was an action packed finish to the game that is try to hold
