membership. who cry now green, deserves nato membership. i'd like to emphasize that point. i've always defended, persistent. the face piece creates no losers. the, the lensky and the one help talks about the renewal of the deals, which allows the exports of ukrainian grain across the black sea, which runs out in little more than a week on which russia has been reluctant to renew around. because not those are going to me up today. we have focus on how the leadership of tech out. yeah. what is then your leadership as an add on or, you know, can help us to a piece we know by international order, whether you can trust, civil or balancing. so i'm not so lensky. we tons to keep with these forces locked in fee is fighting on all fronts as ukraine's term for offensive grind zone. all of this is happening is ukraine box, the 500 day of this will. busy with the special video from president landscape,

hailing his country's military and seemingly reaffirming his position as the stick ahead for ukraine's continued resistance. it coincided with the release of another which the symbolic video of visit buys the landscape snake island. it to me that was seized by russian forces on the 1st day of the war, but late to retaken by ukrainian troops. cream is a small island, says the lensky in the country. but to him, proof that old ukrainian land will one day be re games and newly erupt. mcbride, i'll just say on a cliff beloved. meanwhile, ukraine's interior ministry saying that it is 8 people have been killed in a russian rocket attack on the eastern done yet screeching. the miss all hit a residential area and the city of the mon, several, only more people reportedly injured as a bank has more from kind of a tourist. nearly mine. the original administrator administration has said that they believe it was a rock, a detective released some images that show and buildings damaged the buildings of

also individuals that have been killed. they say one woman is iron a bite, cried another man, was loading his vehicle to go away with his family for the weekend. natalie mon was in the hands of the russians last year, but the ukrainians run to the cash or offensive last year and took it back. but since the, then it has been under constant attack by the russians. natalie. money is also, is a place where there's a key rarely junction in the eastern donuts. and the ukranian say that they have repelled several of the texts from the russians, but this latest rocket, the tech comes dest days. of the ukrainian ministry said that it has noticed a gathering the russian forces in the name on direction. they say around $120000.00 russian soldiers will gathering in the lima and come penske direction elsewhere. and they use the praying and states that they're making gains nearby from north to the north and south. although that's very difficult to get trouble rates. in reality that there's really no real change on the front lines here in the east, although the constant air raid sirens and send of like to reaping 5 also strikes

coming back going on throughout the day and night i started big. i'll just say to cover task eastern. okay. were you planning such as any other board with russia? i have a long history of russian influence, which is shape their identity. now, often more than a year think of bothers, my russian on tennessee a trying to reconcile that post with the present. john, how reports from car keys. the ukraine has been removing the symbols of its soviet passed since independence in 1991. you can now cheaply buy a bust of linen, should you won't one, but collect to follow to me. and lindsey says, nobody does script cuz that's what the senior level. i think it is so important, it is history. and if you forget history, then there's nothing left. for many, it is history that has delivered war and with it, the process known as the communities ation has given way to the rustic vacation. the government has legislated against the publication of books by russian offers

the teaching of russian in schools and russian being spoken in government departments on some public settings. it's especially stock in a city like hockey, 50 kilometers from the russian border majority, russian speaking, and where the longest boulevard once cooled, most scope ski avenue is now renamed of to the heroes of her case. it is a complex idea. as the world goes on and before reconstruction in ukraine has really had a chance to get on the way this effort to raise the mach civics giant neva whose language most ukrainians can speak and understand whose culture and history certainly older ukrainians would have grown up with to ukraine was not great, it's like in 1991 my to we have sent you a list of our independence, but it is an effort that some say cannot be compromised. the government is moving too slowly says alex level of spit sky and his fellow activists. so they do what

they can to speed things along. oh, yeah. before. sure, you, billy, i feel that they are in the correct recipe use respect nations can live without will only if they respect each other. if russia respect soft choice of history, culture language, an army, the maybe in used to come in generations will find a formula for coexistence. maria of the of the remains in khaki recording on social media of the relentless daily bombardment of the city in the early stages of the war pacific was saying that they invade them to make safe place for the russian speaking people. which wasn't, that was the case, but the rest to use it and they use this historical and cultural background to legitimize the invasion. and this is why people feel urge to change that to you and ukraine. thought you otherwise. joe, nicole elders 0 talk to you as president joe biden has been criticized by the un

secretary general rights groups and even some fellow democrats over the friday night announcement the washington will supply cost of bonds to ukraine. it's cost now. so i want house correspondent, kimberly how it gets. uh, we know that as a position from united nations from the german government, human rights groups, a very upset about this. what is he, what are we hearing from within the democratic policy itself? so yeah, this is surprising because uh typically you'd hear criticism from the opposition republicans, but now the president is here and pushed back from within his own democratic party, particularly from the progressive verse. so to further left of the democratic party progressives have written a letter 19 members, and what they're saying is that they feel that this is not consistent with their values. in other words, the president, when he came into office, really said that the platform of foreign policy under his administration was going

to be to put human rights 1st. and a cluster munitions really are contrary to that, that they linger on the battlefield much longer after conflicts and because of their high failure rate to detonate. and so they disproportionately harm civilians, often women children, because they don't get names. children can often pick these up these little bond let's it look like children's play toys or balls, and they can, may more even kill children and, and other civilians. and so that is the concern here of so many progressives. they say there's no such thing is a safe cluster bomb despite arguments to the contrary. and they say that really the president has let not just americans down, but the world, given that he promised to be a leader when it comes to human rights. kimberly, what has america said about russia's use of cost of bombs in the boss as

well. there's been a lot of finger pointing, obviously the many in the united states that don't like russia for various reasons . i and so they have been very unhappy with russia is use of cluster munitions. and with the 1st sort of alleged use of that there was a lot of concern and pointing about that and brought up at even a white house press briefing. and when this was brought up, the white house press secretary said, if this was true, this would cost to, to war crimes. and there was a speech of the un general assembly last year by the us and bassett, or to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield. she said that there's no place for cluster bombs on the battlefield, but yet now what we have is this very same administration a supply ukraine. so as part of their weapons package, this latest weapons package to ukraine's to the tune of 800000000. so what the

argument is from the national security advisor, jake sullivan, is located. we've made this promise to you, prayed that we will be here to supply their defense and from russia's invasion of ukraine, regardless of whether is or there's a shortage of conventional weapons or not. there is a shortage right now. so this is the best of the bad options. the problem is, is that russia has already use these, the battlefield is already littered, and ukraine is given us. assurance is that there will be the mining. so what does it matter if you pray and uses them as well? so this means that there are going to be some very uncomfortable conversations. now that the u. s. president is headed to the nato meetings next week and lithuania, knowing that there are so many nations that are opposed and even have signed on to continue the conventions. banning the use of these munitions. okay, thank you. from the white house. kimberly, how could the

we go to fronds now? thousands of people have defined a bond to march in paris to condemn. right? a black man who died in police custody in 2016. the down, the tories families say he's suffocated when offices pinned him to the ground. earlier, a court hearing failed to of a rule of band on the march in north west paris. another protest has been held in, i'll say, of the police killing of a teenager named nile 2 weeks ago. his desk spunk protests and riots across from last week. full rece brings us this update from paris. the main reason is the riots that occurred in front, sorry for the past couple of weeks, off the bottom of those logs, we peaceful protests and in the wake of the killing of nile. this particular march, this demonstration today was one that commemorates the killing of a, a 24 year old black man,

adama true. all right. in 2016. it's been held peacefully every year on the 19th of july, ever since then. but was moved forward to today to try and get some momentum to the, to the spotlight being placed on police brutality electric police racism in friends . not it was meant to be held north of paris. it was band. and then the organizers set, they wanted to hold in the middle of cars today. it was also fun, but they, they turned up anyway, that house being a little bit of trouble way hearing that one of the leaders of the protests has been arrested. but so far it seems that the, the trouble with the police were faring hasn't arisen as yet. and indeed the, the march has, has dispersed for now the police were really hoping to avoid anything at all today . you know, that resources have been really stretched in the past couple of weeks. that might be some rest by now. but next week is, is plus the day, the,

the french national celebration, where police facilitates all ever you all really strikes no matter what the situation. and there's always a lots happening that nights. and they say that that may be a time when, when more arrests, more unrest. because well, we have exclusive coverage now from the border between to media and libya with more than a 1000 black african refugees and migrants remain stranded with little food or to or shelter. they were rounded up and it's an easy and says you have to fox and boss to the heavily militarized border. but some libyan board accounts, but let them in. the groups include pregnant women and $29.00 children. malik train or full soon as you have is a warrant in the border between the parents and these. yeah. of the 2 needs in ministry of interior released a statement saying that he contacted the acting a minister of interior. imagine so busy that they spoke and that both parties agree

that they need to come up with a unified stance on equal migration. now, north africa has long been a transit hub for african migrants, a trying to reach your opinion shores. here in libya, you, when i estimate that there are more than 700000 migrants in the country. they faced widespread abuse, including arbitrary detention kidnappings ports or an even rate. and i think that's why we're seeing much, many migrants seeking a safer alternative. and that's why they, they, they went to tennis. but with recent comments from place site, which many have described as insightful and races, he's created an atmosphere of animosity towards african migrants, the situation ins box, which is a popular departure point from to this for migrants trying to reach europe has been tens for a couple of months last week that reached

a breaking point where residents of the city to region residents were protesting against the presence of african migrants. things got why, when a to easy in man was killed, which led to things are in the city. and that's when that's amazing. and stories began their crack down. now for these hundreds of migrants printed on the border, the situation is only gonna get worse unless they've been authorities. and the 2 nations are able to come to some sort of agreement and allow you monetary, in organizations or, or, or the, perhaps the you, when i open a quarter and, and, and, and, and be able to give them humanitarian assistance. but for now, the outlook the out, the outcome of this situation looks grim, now train up elder 0 water. i still had on a program. there was no distinction, made a fairly between minutes,

infections and civilians. wrapped up roads found out homes and grieving families and its national dedication looks that was left behind in jeanine refuge account of the biggest is raining right the decades the high again, good to see right off the bat. let's talk about this icy air making its way into southern africa. this could produce some record called in sun spots. let me show you waking up monday morning morning dark in the blue and the purple. lower the temperature joe burge at minus one. so yes, it's cold enough for snow. let me pull them along a providence like we're going to get a pretty good helping. and probably some freezing rain in nearby limpopo providence in south africa, south end of africa, while those temperatures of taking a hit into this and for west africa are seasonal range really ramping up from

nigeria. benito, go right through to sierra leone and skinny on sunday. this friday i've seen some flooding across the turkey as black sea coast over the course of the weekend. all has to do with that rain. coming off the black sea. well, central europe's looking, settled, plenty of sun, those temperatures up. i mean, look at room full on sunshine, 37 degrees, pretty good. and we did see some flooding just to the west of barcelona in spain, but seems have really quite it down here. but hang on, there is still the thread of some flash flooding across the islands of ireland and britain. truth be told western france and the low countries with this storm systems swirling around. so we gotta be on the look out for that on sunday. see you later i the the

but the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the welcome back of it made stories now kremlin is condemned to decision by the turkish government to these 5. you cried in prison as a rule. it would capture during the bible for the both cities maribelle. but most

gross as it was a direct direct violation of an agreement that was meant to release the when the war ended. thousands of people have defined a bond to march in paris to commemorate a black man who died in police custody in 2016 march. as against police brutality have been held in all the french this he's also. busy tensions in the country remain high of the police killing of a teenagers fox riots last week. more than a 1000 black african refugees and migrants a strong that on the libya gymnasium border with visual, full voice, our shelter. i will round it up into new z a and the bus to the border. but libyan for the gods one, let them in. now a funeral has been out for a palestinian mine, shot dead by is really police forces during the raid north west of ramallah. was an in house ministry saying the 24 year old was just in the chest and died from his wounds in hospital. a 198 palestinians have been killed. here's the beginning of

the year. 29 as writers have been killed by palestinians in the same period. meanwhile, the delegation of warm and fuzzy ambassadors, it may representative, is paid a visit to the janine refugee camp in the occupied by spying at least 12 palestinians . and one is ready. the soldier were killed in a major is rarely assault on the camp leah this week. and the appointment is in the janine camp and she has more on this visit. the diplomats and you want officials have come here to listen to the testimony of people in the janine refugee camp. they have listened to difficult stories from palestinian saying that they had to leave their homes because of these radio fault that took place for 2 days. they've heard also about the pain, the trauma, the civilians who have been targeted by these really forces. and joining me here to talk more about that is that you are present in palestine, mr. vin vin burgess door. yes. and then what do you take from the testimonies that you've heard? is there anything new?

well, this is the largest military invasion in the occupied westbank ever since. the 2nd intifada ended, it's more than 20 years ago that in 2002 as some of the invasion has taken place. it's the 1st time that massive strikes have taken place and effected an area of pups united by civilian. you know that this refugee compos, 14000 people on the 0.4 square kilometers, was the most densely populated areas and kind of fine. if you use air strikes, you accept collateral damage in the put in a seam population. so our critique to watch the square of the occupied part was the lack of proper to nail it teeth when it came to use a military weapons system. that's the 1st thing. secondly, we criticized. there was no distinction, made a prodigy between middle infections and civilians. and it was impossible because if

you go with mass of military equipment, you cannot make this distinction. certainly re criticized that during the operation to many, 10 excess was severely impeded if not made impossible for medical services, for ambulances to take care and accommodate the enjoy. it and bring them to us, it doesn't even have to put a tough for me to tech with goodness, and even during the disorders trying to sound the stories were attacked as well. so there's, when you're hearing a lot of condemnations from the yeah, these ready violations are increasing the people here once action. yes. what are you going to do? well, 1st of all is all just mission of diplomats. i've seen covering all 5 continents under the chairmanship of the united nations and that. ready till and that on the 3rd day, it's a good day after the, after the, immediately a military invasion has ended. we still cannot go here everywhere because we may have unexploded ordnance this year. and we cannot be happy,

very careful. you could see here that people need to restore water electricity and see what you 9 kilometers of water and sewage lines have been destroyed to effect that via here. and it's a post war zone. this proves to use our commitment. no, we as diplomats, we can only do 2 things, a fact finding and reporting to back us the to back capitals get they take the necessary action and be expressing all those 40 different to you with the population affected by these admitted to the actions of israel and hoping that the political message from our capitals goes to issue and take to have to abide by international law. and if you don't, you're facing consequences. and so that is something only capital dental diplomats can only report. so please stay with us. that'd be kind of go beyond what they're doing here a little bit to continue with here today. thank you so much, mr. ben. you, for your participation. and we've been talking to palestinians who say that the level of destruction here and that i could become as nothing like the theme in 20

years. they know that the palestinian authority does not have the resources and the money to restore that comp. they believe that the international communities of interest is a swear. now. so there's a lot of disappointments. you have a lot of fear and a lot of anxiety need that, but he just need to do you need refuge account? you have to fight westlake, the leaders of columbia and brazil, meeting in the southern colombian city of leticia to try my power supply and to present what's left of the amazon rain, forest environment minister from 8 countries. scientists and representatives from indigenous groups are attending the summit as well. it comes just also the brazilian government and outs. deforestation is down by at least a 3rd. in the 1st 6 months of the present, louise, and as soon as the silvas time in office, i was wondering, yes, he is following his force in morgantown. so this is positive news about the, the, the,

the lessening deforestation in the amazon. but what do they want to achieve with this meeting as well, mary, and no doubt that those are good news, but they're definitely not enough. one year cannot change decades now of devastation of the amazon rain forest. just to give you an idea of this region, the largest rain forest in the world covers 40 percent of all of south america. it spans across 9 different nations. and so far, these nations of then i haven't done a very good job in working together and trying to preserve the amazon rating for it's an echo system that is fundamental for a disability really of the climate, the of our entire world. and, and here is science, disagree on the fact that it is the devastation,

the deforestation of the amazon reaches 20 percent of it, that we would reach a point of no return in which the 4 is that would become unable to regenerate itself. and the agreement is that now we are around 17 percent and the level of deforestation. so the presidents of columbia goose couple of pants, the president, the of the rest of the a new law are trying to essentially renew international attention on what is happening. and just to give you an idea on the practicalities here, one thing that they're trying to create to sort of an integrated regional observatory in which all these different countries could work together have access to real time data of what is happening in all the different countries they also want to create a sort of unified the system for the different to police and armies that operate in this region to work together and try to stop the for

a station can be stopped though. we know that it's down by a side, but is it possible to put a hold to it altogether? it's it's down by a 3rd and in brazil there has been improvements. for example, here in, in columbia. we don't have clear dates of other regions, but we also know that there has been an expansion and the level of deforestation mostly do not only but a lot of it has to do with the credit criminal organizations that are expanding their presence, their laundering, the drug money expanding cal ranch and get set to read it. brazil is promising to and before a station overall assumed by 2030, if i'm clear, if they're gonna make it. but this is what these countries are working though as thank you, i was trying to run the se in boca tom the us treasury is saying that the washington badging me to work together to address the ex. essential threat of climate change.

john, it yet. it has been meeting with climax, but it's also talks of china's premier on friday. she's now the 2nd highest level us visitor with an a month after a trip by washington stopped it with him. i asked me for lincoln. the trip is aimed at improving strain relations on various issues which include taiwan, human rights and export controls. the main stories now, russia has condemned a decision by the turkish government to release 5 ukrainian prisoners of war. they were taken prisoner during the battle for the port city of maria poll deal wished in september. i sent them to corrupt kremlin,
