5:10 pm
now another news, dozens of people including children have been injured in ukraine after a series of overnight russian missile strikes. extensive damage was reported in the eastern city of pablo, hot chocolate has more from the ukrainian capital. a massive explosion lights up the night sky over the public red region in eastern ukraine. smoke trail suggest possibly exploding ukrainian weapons, but not so se officials who rarely admit to russian missiles hitting military targets. they say this was an industrial enterprise, and as at least 19 apartment buildings, 25 private homes and 6 schools were damaged or destroyed, or the attack valued with sergei was at home with his wife carefully when the early hours of monday morning there was an almighty blast was there for grammar, could there not chalicia? once i heard the 1st explosions, i shouted to my wife,
5:11 pm
let's quickly put on clothes and get out to the right. we'd only got to the corridor when i heard another explosion, i was thrown by the shockwave windows were blown out. it's good. we went out doors because i don't know what would happen is ruby ridge shadow schedules. if you have a switch from you, we were in the corridor putting on shoes when both doors were smashed out by the explosion. ways. then there was fire. i ran outside and saw the garage was destroyed, a ukrainian official say russia launched 18 missiles of the cuban denise proper troughs regions, 15 of which was successfully intercepted by air defense. victoria superman's daughter lies in bed. lucky to have escaped injury or worse, official say dozens of people were injured in the attacks including children. and we took a risk achievement. guided or ballinger. we rushed to the hallway and laid on the floor and then the explosion waved,
5:12 pm
twisted the door. had we stayed for 5 more seconds, we would have been trapped here with you, then there were more explosions. my child will need the psychological help. it's horrible. these attacks come just 3 days off to $25.00 people including 6 children, were killed by a russian missile. getting an apartment building in the city of central ukraine on russia repeatedly says it doesn't deliberately target civilians. thousands have been killed by missiles, drones and shelling of densely populated towns and cities since it invasion of ukraine in february last year. russian miss alden, so called kamikaze drones strikes, targeting air is deep inside ukraine have increased in recent days. now it's impossible to confirm as to whether these are, in fact an attempt by russia to hit ukraine supply lines ahead of an expected ukrainian counter offensive. but
5:13 pm
u. k. defense ministry says russia has for months been preparing what it describes as some of the most extensive defensive lines seen anywhere in the world. in decades, charleston al jazeera give. while a freight train carrying petroleum products has derailed, and russia had happened in the brianne squeegee near ukraine, the local governor. so the tracks were damaged in an explosion, causing the train to derail their casualties. have been reported all in the united states, the trouble, the 1st republic bank is being acquired by j. p. morgan chase regulators had taken control of the bank. the 3rd major institution in the u. s. to fail in 2 months. first republic shares fell last week after it revealed that customers had withdrawn a $100000000000.00 and deposits and march. that was the month that silicon valley bank and signature bank both collapsed, causing fears of a wide market fall out. well, let's beat the hydrogen castro. she's across this for us from washington dc. hydro
5:14 pm
. can you tell us a little more about the details of the deal? turn associates. so now as of this morning, 1st republic bank is no longer it's 84 branches spread across the country. now opening as j. p. morgan chase chorus. stacy morgan's already the largest bank in the united states, a little bit bigger today. as a result of this deal, which it is promising to pay $10600000000.00 to federal regulators that seized 1st republic over the weekend. now this is something that many had long see coming and we saw were, see now the markets responding to this with a little bit of a blip. not very strong trading as this was widely expected and investors are still waiting on the fed meeting later this week. to discuss whether to continue raising interest rates. but as far as 1st republic goes, it collapse was eminent after a disastrous earning report that was released last week showing that its customers
5:15 pm
had withdrawn more than half of the banks. assets, of course, is of happening in the context of those raising interest rates, as the fed has been trying to bring down inflation in the us. and this is now the 3rd at large bay to have failed in the united states in just the last 2 months. indeed, we'll heidi as you just said, markets opened and what the last hour, just how anxious do investors look at the moment when it comes to the banking crisis seeming, you know, end inside well, that's right and, but they are hopeful, had this, perhaps is the end there are many looking at this insane. this could be just a delayed reaction to the turmoil that we saw beginning 7 weeks ago when we 1st saw silicon valley bank labs follow by signature bank. this is a very similar bank, 1st republic, and it's client tell many startups. many business owners, not your average middle class family here, but people who had more than $250000.00 in their accounts here,
5:16 pm
business owners and those accounts were not insured by the federal government because of their high quantity was part of the steel, the federal government will be using its insurance fund to make those customers whole, which the treasury department and regulators say was so important to try to again, spread that message at the u. s. banking sector is safe and to stem the flow of, of these withdrawals because of course, the biggest fear here is further contagion. but again, this is something that had been long seen coming. this is another mid sized bank with similar issues to what we saw with the other biggs earlier and a report that was released last week by federal regulators. found that in this environment of rising interest rates, these banks simply mismanage the risk that they were putting their assets as well as federal regulators. not doing enough, perhaps to stop this from happening. so certainly many lessons learned and many hopes that this is the end of the crisis. i did jocasta. they're talking us through
5:17 pm
that from washington dc. thank you. hi, marcella had here on his gather worldwide to mark this his international labor day . ah, ah, they're good to see. let's go with your weather report for asia. great to have along. we had some violent hailstorm the other day and his mom bought and ro pending. i think the nasty weather on tuesday will be over punjab province in bucharest, on around the horn. by the way, karachi had its coldest april and 10 years you had some big downpours but centered across certain areas of the city. the other day. these storms are also leaking into the northwest of india, severe storms there and pretty much stretching the other side of the country from west spain. gall rate down into town will now do and careless states that we're
5:18 pm
running the risk of seen thunderstorm, severe thunderstorms and hails runs mixed in there as well for the philippines needed now island, the southwest corner there are severe flooded visor is in play here for how intense the rain has been in as we dropped further toward the south. i think the biggest pulses of rain on board, borneo island will be for the malays side as we had toward tuesday in time this warm feet of air off the south china sea is helping to spark some severe thunderstorms. it's an ingredient anyway for it as they run across the yangtze river valleys. so big storms around one on tuesday. it is fairly calm pitcher up and down. japan looking good and took care with the hive. $23.00, which is pretty well where you should be for the sum of the year. that's for me catch her later. ah, talk to, i'll just see where we are, who is really fighting this rule for russia? visit wagner, or is it russian or military? we listen,
5:19 pm
we started talking to me. i'm also that this via your citizen. you shall pick them back. we meet with great news makers. i'm talk about the story stuck, matters on out. you see, ah, investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe. on al jazeera lou. ah, ah, hello again. you're watching al jazeera imus dulls you take here and doha. let's remind you about top stories. there's been sporadic gunfire and student despite another extension of an already faltering 72 hours c spine. creams of smoke can be seen off the s drive and cartoon buffering near the capitol. the un says that more
5:20 pm
than 800000 people may flee. dozens of people, including children, have been injured in ukraine of a series of overnight rushing in the south strikes. extensive damage was reported in the eastern city of popular product. i post a launch fire that in the industrial area. j. p. morgan chase will acquire fast republic bank after us regulated sees the troubled bank. the collapse marks the 3rd major u. s. institution to fail in less than 2 months. was ours. he is in egypt to have released al jazeera journalist, hisham abdul aziz. after 4 years in prison, he was arrested in cairo and 2019 that never put on trial to other under there a journalist by al dean abraham and robert of shake are still in detention out. is there a media network cause for their immediate release? thousands of people in cities around the world are mocking international workers day in the u. k,
5:21 pm
it follows labor disputes not seen for decades. healthcare and transport workers of health strikes in recent weeks demanding higher pay. many are expected to rally in london. andrew simmons is at one of those rallies of nurses and the national health service, who now been on strike for months. yeah, miss harris is really quite so angry. it has to be said, this strike has gone on before christmas december last year. and does it have been times when it was looking hopeful that would be a resolution. but right now, this strike is the most serious, yet it's affecting intensive care units. it's affecting dallas's chemotherapy. so out of all the strikes afflicting the u. k. right now, this is the most motive i'm with me now is linda toby, a specialist. i know you do in dialysis.
5:22 pm
how do you feel right now? do you feel a medicine? would you describe it as militant angry? how would you describe your move? i think different people feel different things with people here recently, angry minutes in a range. it feelings inside the and i spent all of it. i disappointed that what we saying about a been low in patient. i've been patient. i will not be enough nurses inside of this strike action will go on until midnight on monday. a bank, holiday lea, you k, at the time when the tension 0 getting ha, across the channel. police a fire tear gas to disperse, made a demonstration in paris. you're watching live pictures now from the french capital, with tens of thousands of people march through the city. they've been floated
5:23 pm
around by large groups of ryan, police to trade union, have called for more than 300 rallies across the country. the angry president emanuel microns moved to raise the retirement age from 60 to 64. like say, the pension reforms are threat to their rights and they're very angry when tens of thousands of people are also raleigh in south korea's capital. to mock international work is day. trade unions are demanding a raise to the minimum wage, and they also speaking out against government policies that they say anti labor and philologist made a gathering since the curb. in 1900 pandemic correspondent, mother cried, is at one of those rallies. and so in a country with such a strong trade union tradition labor, there you can always be guaranteed i big. but this yet especially so given that many workers feel squeezed by the rising cost of living, that they feel that way just simply on keeping pace with combine that with a conservative administration,
5:24 pm
the work is filled simply listening to them on the sides with big business. it's all been made worse by a prophecy over the length of the working week. currently, workers can work at maximum of 52 hours in a week. the government has been talking about the racing got to 69 hours, but that's such a backlash. now talking about a compromise, 60 hours, if we were to work up to 60 hours, we wouldn't be able to use our annual leave and you'd be absolutely no time to rest . even though you're like now $200.00 you nurse is quitting every year and there is no one to fill the vacancy. tens of thousands of workers and take part in raleigh. throughout south korea, who are the biggest? here is all this one is organized by the korean confederations of trade unions. they have been literally speeches, challenging slogan on this umbrella organization. as it often does,
5:25 pm
will also be calling for a general strike in july. right? i'll just narrow, told, now moving on and a giant plot. a fee weed in the atlantic is discouraging tourists and threatening communities on the french caribbean. island of martinique. mounds of refurbishing. sagacity washes up on beaches and then as it rocked toxic gases are released, fishermen and entrepreneurs are trying to come up with a solution. alexander bias has the story on a normal day. jose via tours restaurant looks out onto one of martinique christine white. beaches on a normal day, his business is thriving and the air doesn't smell like rotten eggs. i guess the gas and is the hardest challenge for us. every year we are forced to close our business because of the gas. there's just no way we can serve customers in the condition. so it started in 2011 millions of tons of the free floating
5:26 pm
brown seaweed called sarcasm, stretching for thousands of kilometers in the atlantic ocean enters the caribbean. it chokes coves and blankets, beaches. and as it rots it releases, toxic gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide people complain of sore throats, nausea and headaches. and it's happening close to the peak of the tourism season. and as having a devastating effect on the economy. it was in only more, even before it was very busy, but now with the seaweed, there is no one left tourists say they can't stay here, made it because of their health or the smell. i don't know, but we can't get by without them. fishermen are doing what they can using booms and nets and adapting their boats to trap hundreds of cubic meters of the algae every hour. so guess why homer, if it doesn't reach shore and is collected in a nash,
5:27 pm
it won't rush and release hydrogen sulfide. so we think it's one of the best solutions . that's why we're building other boats with new technologies to go even faster. because we realize that when there are large quantities of the seaweed, we have to move quickly to collectors. sir gossum blooms every spring in the atlantic, but in the past decade it's been flourishing, breaking records nearly every year. scientists think ocean warming and industrial run off could be to blame that if with his over the forecasts know very good scientifically. i don't know what to do or humanly speaking we are finding solutions and i think we will also reach a point where we will be able to use it as rural material for something. nasa has already warned that 2023 is shaping up to be the largest bloom on record. the people of martinique will be on the front lines and hope the solutions they are developing will go some way to helping the rest of the caribbean. alexander buyers al jazeera. well let's speak to david holland. he is an expert on ocean science at
5:28 pm
new york university. is abbey darby's center for global sea level change. he joins us now from new york. david alexandra was reporting now. this is down to ocean warming and industrial one of let's start with the warming presumably. then this is all set to get much worse. and that would seem to be the case fido plankton which make up the algae are basically just plants in the ocean. and of course, plants grow when there's more sunlight and they grow when the water is warmer, and they grow when they have more nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus. so the nitrogen phosphorus, arguably coming from run off and fertilizers on land. and the warming coming from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. well, the run off that we've been pumping that into water systems for years. is there a way to try to curb the effects of what's already in the water system? yes, so once the pollutants are in the water, they have a very long residence time, so it's not so easy to remove them that's building up in the background. and of
5:29 pm
course the temperatures you may have heard that this year 2023 is set a record for the global temperature, not only the surface but the bulk of the ocean. of course this is also we're heading into a certain year called el nino, which just means the warm water in the pacific spreading and covering more of the ocean. so those oscillations go up and down el nino longing your natural phenomena . but the background trend is this ever increasing warming ocean, which really allow class to thrive? well, i say the nasa saying this could be the largest blame on record. can you give us a sense of what we're talking about here? i've seen estimate saying that it's twice the width of the continental united states. i mean, that's normally ah, yes, so just so our research study published in nature about a month ago, pointed out that the aerial coverage of the fido bank and blooms increased by about 10 percent. i guess that's about half the size of a country like canada and in other places the frequency have increased by more than
5:30 pm
a half so it means they're occurring more often. we should point out of course for the plans that are critical. marine phytoplankton provide 50 percent of all of the oxygen on earth. so they're critical. but they do have this kind of bad behavior if you will, which they can grow uncontrollably. and of course that blocks on like going into the ocean, which harms the marine food chain. and then they decay and, and bacteria, you suck up the oxygen in the ocean. so that's the part that's kind of out of control and the bad side of the fido plants. and so as it decays though, i am wondering how dangerous these toxic gases i, i see it can also potentially contain authentic. is there a way to use this? i'll get all like some of the locals that we're hoping i think so. i think that's the cutting edge of research. we face many changes, challenges now in climate change. i've been focused on just one second. i'd like to stop.
