7:05 pm
just across the border inside to den just meters away. but what is happening at the board, the refugee say, is just a glimpse of the atrocities happening inside are from the same bus or avi o, g 0, audrey on the chat, sudan board, the african leaders are in ukraine on a piece mission. so the south african president, serial officer and 3 other african heads of state. once an end to the conflict with russia, they visited the city of boot, show where ukraine, you know, 30 say more than a 1000 civilians were killed in russian attacks last year. and the delegation has held meetings for the ukrainian president, follow them as a landscaping cheese bill then travel to russell on saturday for a talks of president vladimir putin. their visit coincided with the air, raid sirens, and explosions and keys as russian forces continue to bombard the city. we have
7:06 pm
correspondence across developments on both sides of this conflicts. in a moments we'll speak to you use up all of our over in moscow. but 1st, let's spring and throw in a whole. joining us from keith to tell us what more are we learning about the meeting that was held between the african leaders and the ukranian presidents as well. we await imminently. news of that meeting in a press conference scheduled to go head with should be on the way now, but not being broadcast live. unfortunately from inside the presidential compound, to tell us more about those tools. the most significant thing really about this initiative is that among a number of initiatives floated over the months since the will began by a number of countries. this is the 1st one to be brought in front of both the leaders of ukraine and russia. president zalinski, of course this afternoon, and on saturday, this applicant, these mission will travel to st. petersburg at to discuss the plan with president
7:07 pm
putin as well. remember, this is not as we understand it as a blueprint for peace as well. this is more a series of confidence building measures. it is about establishing means towards dialogue in areas of common interest. and we understand that they would have been talking about prisoners swaps, for instance, and things like easing sanctions on the export of russian. we to specialize or along with ukrainian grade, very important to the economies of these african countries, of course, but that's a pretty low bar towards any significant steps towards piece particular when you consider the ukrainians have been explicit presidency. lensky, absolutely unwavering. in his stops that there could be no negotiations towards piece of tool until russia withdrew. was every one of its troops from it every inch of ukrainian sold, including try me. and that is not we understand part of this deal. they may also be hurdles to cross in terms of trust, ukrainian side,
7:08 pm
and it's negotiate is may wonder about south africa, for instance, leading this delegation and allegations made against south africa just last month by the us, alleging that they had funneled weapons to moscow something. victoria denies, and also back in february naval drills held just off cape town by the south africa navy, alongside the chinese navy and the russian navy. yeah, until the interesting we as they arrived in keys, there were air raid sirens on explosions. heard in the capital a pretty unusual that in fact, substantially, i'm usually not aware of any other occasion when russia has lowest miss all the tax on the capital and it's surrounds at the same time as well. the leaders have been visiting, but that does appear to be exactly what happened shortly after they arrived. they were visiting mass graves in butcher. that's just west of keys and regular went up here in the capital and then add defenses was sounded or you could hear them
7:09 pm
crumpling around us where we are now. as we are told by the air force, 12 cruise missiles flew overhead, they were all brought down successfully, with some damage to areas north of kia from folding debris. but yes, quite a welcome. i think for these leaders as they arrived here and quite to an environment in which to be talking about confidence building measures. okay. thank you. during the whole reporting for us from keith. so all you so a set of goals, minister of culture and historical heritage. and he's also the presidential spokesman. he spoke to us earlier and says that the african nations aren't taking sides and trying to end the fighting. the main object you of this mission is to establish peace by the, by the 13th or the store. press between the button and it says, but it important, it doesn't even cover. so the, so as to provide to the fish image fits and then actually installed reading the applicant and head upstairs. so the mission offered, big offices is to facilitate,
7:10 pm
were presented as an exchange between russia and the grant will be the one step forward. and the mission of what's also on the kind of make subject to much is so as the, the specializes and sort of those talk a release the, for the effectiveness of a use the train through a dynamic partnership. as you know, we will be dependent on to reproduce it by the to the nation, the base rent and then impacting it kinda inbox. it is now good to go in africa. so then we want to get from this mission a. so the dynamic for most of the importation of exploration we, the russian president, vladimir putin has a speaking in st. petersburg cases, when ukrainian counter offensive in the south east won't be successful. will you do me? my input, you mean the slicing is ongoing right now?
7:11 pm

7:22 pm
the energy conservationists say the game changer was the removal of subsidies, unconventional power sources. after or following the economy causes in 2019 the demand on i think this the decreased and the practically according to the as easy as the maintenance. today we meaning that the demands on that list is around 1700 megawatts. so practically, the existing both bonds together with the existing solar installations good solves that exist the crisis of level. but 1st, the stake needs to ensure a minimum supply of power to allow solar installations to connect to the national grid convention and follow the funds are a base load and they should remain in the energy mix of the country it's, it's essential to have convention and all of the solar panels aren't enough to keep the lights on. i know i'm going to start off. i installed solar panels, but i couldn't get through to of my generator because i need 24 hours of power to
7:23 pm
preserve the meat. well did, but the, the last to 30 percent of the countries electricity supply now comes from renewable sources 11 on has exceeded it's $1000.00 megawatts ceiling for solar installations . that means the country has met its 2030 targets to reduce emissions. that was not the result of a plan to tackle global warming. it was a reaction to the economy's collapse, but still one in 5 households can't afford power. thinking back of the so i've got a one, i'm bet it causes my $30.00 to $35.00. so i live without electricity or an estimated 80000 households have gone green. that's a fraction of the 1500000. who need the government to do its part? does that include their elders, either paid or a crowd of protest. doors in the indian state of money poor has set fire to the home of a junior minister in the central government, demonstrators,

7:26 pm
is the bottom of it as an e p a g, b, stay the same as what the money work, which is also in serious is the mentions all based on that reason to the expense was different. the 2nd one is these guys they step by step was this, i mean the, the, the police in the state that has been used all the all nations and they come on. it says they're not the salt, which is very an actress and never happened to the issue that you're going to go the mining offices of the speak according to their home and the needs of their events and so on. the since these binders is more than the community bar, i think that the bottom cost why somebody that says install. so let's talk about
7:27 pm
that international that i mentioned you were mentioning a moment ago. surely, one would think that it would be in the best interest of the governments in india to to stop the violence but, but we haven't really heard much from the prime minister himself and the range remotely on any plan going forward. why do you think that is of the most, the tree model, the history of these by the 2 communities of the countries like india, with these forces, that is the state machinery should be able to bring the peace within a few days, a part of the finest city signed and is by as the team, despite the fact that the forces have been saying there is all the forces where the knowledge in the bottom is an accusation above various units of these forces. gary was supposed to be on the prices.

7:29 pm
to the, on some of the neighboring countries up into, into this stage of money one and so on. and the city is basically the police station. so it is, carol is this says, i don't know why the prime minister all the, all the or with this does is because that is not the, with the be disclosed in the modern offices means the. all right, so i think they should get it. i don't know why something is going on. i places the suspicion that many people have not. thank you so much for joining us from italy as well. protests or something holding rally isn't for greek cities under criticizing how the government's been handling a migrant boat accident that's left at least 79 people. dead activists and labor organizations marching in athens. excuse authorities of being complicit because
