a ukrainian soldier. the kremlin says, video of the alleged incident needs to be verified. ah, play you're watching al jazeera live from doha with me for the back table. also coming up. the u. s. president arrives in ireland after a short visit to northern ireland as the marks 25 years since the good friday peace agreements until brennan and randolph county allow for the crowd start to build for the arrival of u. s. president. you're by who also coming up, the un security council meeting to discuss the future of the peacekeeping operation in money and masks on and stay indoors are air quality. and beijing drops as heavy sandstorms hit. the capitol and other provinces in china. ah,

ukraine state security service has long shown investigation after a video emerge, allegedly showing the be heading of a captured ukrainian soldier by russian soldiers present, voted muse lensky, says the art will not be forgotten, nor forgiven the crime. in faith, the footage needs to be verified. the un and european union have denounced, reveal, and pledge to hold war criminals who account short a whole has more from keith. this footage appears to be children. a mobile phone appeared overnight. it is extremely gruesome to watch. in no way fit for broadcast, i must ad we cannot independently verify it, although he's getting an enormous amount of traction on social media. here in ukraine and ukrainian government is certainly treating it as though it is genuine to videos. in point of fact, the 1st appears to show the corpses of 2 ukranian soldiers lying on the ground

beheaded beside a destroyed military vehicle. the 2nd video, much more graphic than that appears to show russian soldiers torturing a ukrainian prisoner of war and then beheading him. and at the moment that the beheading begins using a knife is there are signs that this soldier may, in fact have been alive at that point. as i say, no independent means of verifying this video nor its context, nor the units involved, nor where or when it was shocked. although the lush green foliage, particularly the 2nd video, indicates that it probably took place well before the beginning of winter. last year. ukrainian reaction, as you can probably imagine, has been swift and angry. ukrainian politicians suggested that russia be stripped of its presidency of the un security council, another. the foreign minister dmitri labor, likening russia to the stomach state. and of course, president landscape has made

a video statement which he called on every world leader to react that he said, don't expect this to be forgotten. we are not going to forget, here's what he had to say. is 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. there are no people for them. a son, a brother, a husband, someone's child. this is video of russia trying to make this a new norm such a habit of destroying life as also in international reaction here in ukraine. the un mission says it's a polled by the video. and the european union says, if confirmed this, these images are yet another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of russian aggression. you reiterating its commitment to holding all perpetrators and

accomplices of war crimes to account his daughter jabari. now with reaction from moscow. well, according to the kremlin spokesperson dmitri prescott, that is what it does need to be verified, but he did call it appalling and very disturbing. this is the only reaction we've had so far from any of the officials here in moscow. but of course this is not the 1st time that the russian military has been accused of carrying out the legit war crimes during this conflicts at the main one being that the events that took place in the town of boucher last march. there was a lot of evidence the ukrainian government claimed that the russian military carried out what they believed to be war crimes. and the russians, for their part said that the footage was altered and edited to create the illusion that those crimes were committed by the russian military. but for the time being, during at, for this latest video that surfaced,

the officials are waiting to see when it can be verified before they comment any further in the world news us present, joe biden has arrived in dublin, in the republic of ireland co pay a visit to county loud, where he can trace back. some of these boots early in belfast biden said he wants to see northern islands government restored as soon as possible. he was there to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement, which ended 30 years of violence. an effective devolved government reflects the people of northern ireland and is accountable to them. a government that works to find ways to hard problems together. going to draw even greater opportunities this region. so i hope the assembly and the executive will so be restored. that's a judgment for you to make, not me. and i hope that happens along with institutions that facilitate north south and east west relations, all of which are vital pieces of the good friday agreement. and like not to poll

vanilla zene county law for a. so how does that present biden's boots? oh, plain to politics during his irish visit with the thing to $31000000.00 americans claim on the irish ancestry. so that's one in 10, and that's a lot of voters. so clearly joe quiet when has one eye on his domestic politics when he's visiting island, both north and south as well. but for this particular president, the 2nd catholic president that there is, there is a strong affiliation and affinity with island his ancestors born. here he's making what you can always call the pilgrimage to county allows later today, because of the finnegan, families that are his ancestors. his great great grandfather own finnegan left the shores and went through american the 1840s. joe biden, coming back to this county, to pay respects to that part of the family. and later on in the visit he'll, he'll go to see the blue it outside of the family in county mayo,

on the tarmac at dublin airport when he arrives around 3 p. m. local. today, the diplomacy was at the forefront. he met with the iris t shirt clear, veronica on the on the tarmac. you perhaps can see in the background as me blink and the secretary of state there as well. so if you talk about belfast being the political side of this view of this visit, we're now looking at the next 3 days, being the diplomatic and the personal side to job bottoms agenda. so what is he going to do then? during his visit to island who he's, who is he going to with a couple of as time. we're expecting him here at dundalk and county loud. it's a beautiful spring day and can see a lot of that you can see some of the crowds are starting to build around me. he'll be in the streets. i mean, we are doing some kind of walk about. although as you can see, the weather hasn't been especially kind and we understand that the helicopter, which was due to bring it from don door up to cali foot ok. so the castle has had

to be cancelled on these on the motorcade. instead that may impact the time table for this evening's events of anger back to dublin on tomorrow. we see the main diplomatic side stuff where he will be speaking with the irish president on with the iris to check again in the morning addressing close houses of parliament later in the day. and after that heading off to mayor, as i say, for the 2nd part of the personal side of things in relation to his visit. thank you for that boy brandon life, or is there in county last night's office call the u. n. deadliest peacekeeping operation. and now the future of the mission in molly's being discussed said the security council, gemini, and britain as well as neighboring ivory coast, are among several nations to announce withdrawal plant. but with violence getting worse, molly's military government is increasingly turning to russia's volcanic whoop. nicholas hoc reports strung together in haste. this makeshift camp lies on the

outskirts of melodies, capital obama. ko, it's been built by people who have recently fled violence sweeping the country. among them said to me at the quantity, she says, when maryan soldiers marched into her village, she 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 is based 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. 14000 un peacekeeping troops, mostly from african nations, are stationed in mildly after french troops intervened to stop armed groups from invading the country. in 2013 costing nearly $1000000000.00 a year, and with more than $180.00 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. un peacekeeping mission, also known as been, use must, as it has the mandate to protect the population, ensure the peace agreement is respected and assist molina authorities and building reconciliation in an interview with al jazeera, molly's prime minister says, the mission is not delivering on its mandate. to protect the population pres alia moon show, as the kid is, is not group. we want to make up people site to the international community intervened. in molly, following the adoption of a un security council. resolution in 2013 molly and understood it was to end the war. emily, as soon as a base agreement was solid, they said they were here to bring peace. but there is no place to bring soldiers dying that we want to stop. the mass killings of our soldiers and of our citizens. but when, if elegant. 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 wagner,

of carrying out extra judicial killings and torturing people in molly they are meant to protect. and so the un security council is 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 and our diplomatic editor james face has more now from un headquarters in new york. this mission, this, the newsman mission, set up by the united nations. well, if you go back 10 years, 2 weeks from now is the 10th anniversary. when this was set up, i was actually in by marco at watching the 1st un peacekeepers put on their blue helmets 10 years ago. and certainly this mission has not gone the way that the u. m . would have liked, it is the most dangerous mission that the un has, and its had real problems in the last year or so. and that led to some of the countries which have the most sophisticated military is pulling out their troops.

you had the french, backed by canada as well, who weren't part of the un mission, but they were there in numbers in marley. they pulled out their troops, them within the un mission. you. you've had of forces from sweden, from u. k. most recently, jordan, who had pulled their their troops out. so that's the problem. number one, they are losing the most capable of the peacekeepers that are there. the other problem is that this mission is already completely overstretched. they expanded to central marley to trans stabilized central. molly, in 2019, and yet they got no additional resources, no additional trip numbers to do it. so it is a difficult situation. you have other aspects of this, like the piece deals that supposed to take place. with groups around molly that aren't going anywhere, you're supposed to have a return to constitutional rule. there was supposed to be a constitutional referendum that was supposed take place in march. well, we passed march and still that's not there or something that's taken place. so real

concerns and everyone's for work out what to do next. still had on al jazeera man, my military says it carried out his answering kind of village more than a 100 people died in that attack. we take a closer look at bag fines. economy has high inflation in the cost of living, takes its toll on millions. ah, that java looks particularly wet over the next day or so along with sort of way. see, and probably the philippines that's happening now. but it's also in the forecast. very wet time. of the year, but the good part of borneo sent away simplicity, malaysia, looking rather dry now and the rate is quite well dispersed in dissolved. but manila could still get a bit of surface flooding from it. it also looks pretty fine in japan. now this is

danty soccer area of high pressure, quiet warmish weather. beyond that, well there's been more rain showing in china as you can see in temperatures in beijing or above where they should be by 5 degrees or so. but it's still cold in mongolia and that cold wind again will blow out not attempts down in beijing, and probably bring a sandstorm once more across the northeast of china, the drain still for the se, becoming a bit will concentrate this now legging across the waters towards the south of japan as well, significant, right. but as if it's flooding here, i think lashley bone dry though in northern india and bangladesh, there are some shells up in the hills in the pole, and not particularly big ones. we should be looking for pre monsoon heat throughout india and pakistan at this time of the year. and we are an example, would be delhi contemptuous, reaching 40 steadily, ah, with

ah, ah, ah, watching al jazeera alive from doha, these are top stories. this, our ukraine has launch an investigation after a video image,

allegedly showing the beheading of a captured ukrainian soldier by russian troops present for me is events. he said the act would not be forgotten. the kremlin says the footage needs to be very fight us present. joe biden has arrived in dublin in the republic of ireland, tail visit county law, where he can trace some of these routes earlier in belfast. biden's said he wants to see northern islands, governments restored as soon as possible. no man mars june to has admitted that it carried out the air attacks at kills more than a 100 people on to see it says those kill in the village of patty g, where fighters from the people's defense force and a legitimate military target. but as tony chang reports evidence from the scenes, jess, most of those killed with civilians, many of them children. a warning this report contains disturbing images to people shelter in a ditch. the sound of heavy caliber gunfire could 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 while you're on state tv, they don't remember who to howl. oh that on the bottom, yes, of course we launched the attack on them. we were informed that pdf were killed at the event under the attack. they are opposing our government. when we met major generals omen, 2 and 3 weeks ago in the capital ne p door and asked him about similar tags that have killed schools of civilians. he own 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 are 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 event since the cou. a 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 armed groups fighting against the gentle, general dollar. we started our revolution with basic hunting rifles. 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. in u. k, to try and cut off supplies of fuel from mere mas air force. seems to be having little effect on the military government. it appears cert. i'm a scorched earth policy over tony ching al jazeera banker and the international monetary fund says, public debt is higher and growing faster than projected before the pandemic. the i m. f held a briefing on its fiscal monitor that gives an overview of public finance development live to heidi's, or castro who was covering the i mass spring meetings for us in washington dc. so

day 2 of the meetings. heidi, why is the i m f forecasting public debt to rise? well, fully, we've seen some extraordinary use. of course, there was the pandemic in last year. global jet actually took a 70 percent plunge as countries recovered, but that is a brief respite because starting this year, the i m f projects that global a debt ratio to g d v will shoot up once again higher. then pre pandemic levels. what's driving that change? china and the u. s. they spent much of their, they spent a lot of government money to mitigate the pandemic. they were joined by other develop nations, the u. k. japan, brazil, south africa, turkey. all of those countries driving up the debt to g, d, v, the cheat g, d, v racial. and even though the 60 percent of countries actually we're doing the opposite. these are moderate to low income countries that have done enough to bring down their debt racial. but not enough to overcome the higher drivers again,

the u. s. and china in particular, what is the consequence of all of this? well, the fight to eradicate global poverty. the i most saying that is going to be pushed further down the road, the goal of eradicating global poverty by 2030, once again, a goal post that's moved further into the future. by the year 2028. the i m f is predicting that the global debt will be nearly equal to the global financial output i an inflation. heidi remains a problem around the world. does the i m f, think central banks are doing enough to get it under control? that's right, the fiscal outlook says that this should be a major priority of governments around the world. and of course, as cons, just as we got new figures in the united states, that inflation has fallen to 5 per cent, which has continued its decline since at the during the pandemic peak,

but still far from a healthy economy. that's project that's looking at target a 2 percent inflation. what does that all mean? well the, i am asked says that rising interest rates by the u. s. central bank have done the job of tightening economic conditions and they are hoping that other countries develop nations around the world take the same strategy, but they do caution. of course, we saw some financial turmoil in the banking sector in the states as well as in switzerland. d in this environment of raising interest rates, and so the i m f, the world bank cautioning developing countries that they have to show up their vulnerabilities a while at the same time, still taking actions to bring down inflation across the world. hi, do you. thank you for that. heidi is your castro live there in washington. pakistan meanwhile, has secured a 2000000000 dollar dollar loan from st. uribe as it traces an economic crisis. it's one of the conditions for baler from the i m f. that's under discussion. the

cost of living is rising fast in pakistan with inflation at more than 30 percent. i forbade reports. hundreds, desperately scramble for free flour is being handed out by the government to from the struggling the stolen cost of basic food. the demand has been overwhelming and people have queued for hours since the beginning of the muslim holy month of ramadan $23.00 people have been killed. his time. pizza distribution centers across pakistan. thousands of bags of flour have also been stolen. good, good, heard along. i accept the difficulties for the people and getting free flour or long queues and over crowding as the people are desperate for his flower. huh. so debbie has registered her details and gets her free flour. it takes the whole family to get it into the home. the flower is mixed with water and made into dough . i will get another killer. i could run that. i knew that i wasn't anything at home to cook my kids. and that has made me worried how to feed them. but i was

lucky to have a few bags of free flour from the government center, which will help for a few days, especially in ramadan. children wait eagerly for their food, but it's only bread and sugar. it's simple, but it's all they can afford in millions across the country are struggling with the rising cost of living. some fruits and vegetables have more than doubled in price. the government is struggling to control the economy and implementing economic reforms laid out by the i m f. but there's still no guarantee the economy will recover, even with the bad that. and the countries, foreign reserves are all time low. whatever comes out of the meetings in washington, the still considerable skepticism, hair apache. i may say that whether the reforms, the asking for will actually make things better for normal or make them worse. beckoned some of the poorest parts of the country sojourn from the hope in the flowers. enough to get little through the tough months ahead. i said big al jazeera,
