c. r. c. are leaving a humanitarian operation of great complexity. both politically and in terms of security. it began on $29.00. i appealed and as require the enormous coordination of advocacy with russian federation. and you could and, you know, thought it is so fast to safe passage co voice have been successfully completed in the 1st concluded on 3 may when under the non civilians were evacuated from the as of south plan, along with $59.00 more from a neighboring area in the 2nd operation completed last night, more than $320.00 civilians were evacuated from the city of mario ball and surrounding areas. a certain operation is under way, but it is all policy not to speak about the tales of any of them before they are completed, boulevard, and the mining possible success. it is good to know that even in this times of i, per communications, silent diplomacy is still possible and the sometimes the only effective way to produce results so far in total, nearly $500.00 civilian songs found a long way to awaken relief after leaving. and the relentless shelling and sketch availability of water, food and sanitation, the factories of shared moving tales with un stuff, mothers, children, and thrill good parents spoke of that trauma. somewhat urgent need the medical attention. i hope that's going to coordination with moscow and key will lead to more military partners. civilian safe passage from the fighting and 8 to reach those in critical needs. we must continue to do all we can to get people out of these l scapes. and the 2nd says general, and the emergency room coordinator mark in griffin will be if you today in greater detail on the latest efforts in multiple and additional steps. i commission especially will brief on reports of violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. possible war crimes and the needs for accountability. as i discussed yesterday, we present lensky the when will continue to scale up your military notations, save lives, and reduce sufferings. met the presidents. my meetings with mostly there's also focused on the crucial issue of global food security. and indeed, the world where the implications of these law were in full view in my subsist subsequent travels to west africa in synagogue neesha, nigeria, i heard died. a testimony from leaders in civil society are now the war, is unleashing of food security crisis. really quick and decisive action to ensure a steady flow of food and energy and open markets by lifting export restrictions, allocating surpluses and reserves to those who live them. and they're asking full price increase to call market volatility. but let me be clear and meaningful solution to global food insecurity. requires reintegrating ukraine's equity cultural production and the food and fertilize the production of russia and bellows into world markets. despite the war, i will do my best to help facilitate the dialogue to help make these a reality. at the same time, though, already new grade in all its dimensions, you something in motion, a crazy that is also devastating global energy markets disrupting financial systems and existed writing extreme vulnerabilities for the developing world. that is precisely what i established why established the global crisis response group on food, energy in finance, to mobilize, you and agencies multilateral development banks and other international institutions. 12 countries phase these challenges. we were particularly engaged in making proposals at the spring meetings of the i, m f, and the world bank. the president, excellencies the water nuclear new, senseless insult. rough proceeds to dimensions and limitless in its potential for global harm. the cycle of death, destruction, this location and disruption must stop. it is time to unite and these war. and i think you it really isn't there to and tony gutierrez should be seeing the un security council on his visit to moscow and to ukraine. he talks about 2 russians invasion of ukraine being a violation of a territorial integrity and of the charter of the united nations. and he went on to outline some of the progress that we made since his visit on getting people out of mario paul in particular, let's bring in our different mascot as a james phasers, i 1st the united nations. so he'd been praising the kind of, some of the silent diplomacy as he called it, and some of the, the kind of fruits of the, of the negotiations of ministry people out of marable. yeah, i'm hoping they can build on this. we have had to operations, as he said, to get people from mary pal under the umbrella of the united nations in the international committee of the red cross. the 1st one, they got 101 people out of the steel works. and a further $56.00 people out of the mary apple area. and the 2nd operation, they got 320 people out of the merrier pool area. the 3rd operation is underway, as we speak, they're not going to give any details. but my understanding is, it's another effort to get people out of the of a stall plant and that is underway. as the sectors general made clear, his humanitarian chief, marty griffith is briefing from poland. whether it was a fundraising meeting to raise money for the humanitarian operations. in ukraine he, i don't think will give us any more details though on these ongoing operations. they have to, i think, keep quiet about these things. and they've told me that i want to say anything about any of the detail until the people are safely in ukrainian territory. perhaps that will be a little bit more from the secretary general later on. not in public, but in private because he's taking the security council to dinner tonight. the 15 ambassadors of the security council will be sitting down with the secretary general . i'm sure they're going to ask him more details of his trip. clearly, he will have among those ambassadors, the russian ambassador. so i think he'll be somewhat guarded when they asked questions of exactly what was said between him and president putin. remember, he's one of the few world leaders spoken to president putin in recent months. and certainly the most senior to visit moscow. so i think many of the other diplomat says ambassadors meet him will be keen to find out what more information he has on the russian leaders views on the situation and possibly where this could go next. lauren can say, thanks very much indeed. all the officials in the eastern cities cannot ask say, 25 people have been injured in russian shelling homes, a school and other civilian infrastructure damage during the early morning attacks . the city is near the frontline of fighting in ukraine's donetta province. russia's army is pushing towards cremmit. ask a move ukrainian forces a struggling to block. charles stratford is there. the explosion left the crater around 3 meters, deep flies and the surrounding residential portable blocks were destroyed. the blast shred the trees in the park where children usually play. this was one of a number of attacks across criminals. in what was the largest similar tiniest barrage of rockets in the city since russia invaded ukraine organ 2 months ago we were sleeping in wakened by a series of explosions before there was one mass of blast. thank god, no one was killed. a couple of kilometers away this parade of shops and small businesses was also hit. the city men says that 25 people were injured in the attacks. it's miraculous that nobody was killed. soldiers have collected shrapnel to try and identified a weapon that was used until i heard it was a rocket attack. there was a siren and then a huge explosion. my apartment is about 100 meters from and all the windows are below. now, the scale of the destruction here shows you just how powerful the explosion was. there are tens of flaps that have been pretty much completely destroyed in the blast. ukrainian police say that they believe that this was a russian as strike and it comes at a time when the ukrainian all me say that russian forces are trying to pushing towards cremmit sauce. and they bring savanski from the north. we drove north towards the russian controlled city of museum. we discarded blood soaked bandages, and a stretcher. wounded ukrainian soldier had been transferred to an ambulance. only minutes before us really so much in a pretty big show. when all calls go along the road, they start shutting. is it an issue? any ambulances, vehicles you say? it doesn't matter? ukrainian soldiers hide in the forest from russian drones above. artillery shell casings, litter the ground. the soldiers will, that is filming. but they claim they have repelled 3 waves of russian attacks in the last week. they gave us this video. they claim shows the retreating from russian artillery se se on now holding the defensive position. what they currently can't do is stop cities like criminals from coming honda. russian attacks stuff alger 0 criminals, international donors raised about $6500000000.00 for ukraine. european leaders and officials were in warsaw for a conference aimed at helping ukraine cope with the economic and monetary fall out of russia is offensive, which is led to europe's worth refugee crisis since world war 2. the host of the conference published prime minister mateusz vicki, also called for ukraine to be given candidate status to the european union. the world health organization says the code 19 pandemic has led to many more deaths than previously thought. it estimates. 14.9000000 people died directly or indirectly from the virus in the past 2 years. as more than twice the number recorded by organizations like johns hopkins university, which puts the global death toll at 6200000. when you estimate is based on excess mortality, the difference between the actual number of deaths and the expected number. without a pandemic, excess deaths were concentrated in se asia, europe, and the america's breakdown of the figures shows more men died than women. and the vast majority of all excess deaths were in middle income countries. let's get more now from hydrogen. castro is that live in washington d. c. for us as it tell us the why there's this big difference between the show figures and the official ones. right, and it, it is a massive difference. lauren was 9 and a half 1000000 deaths. that the w h o. attributes to cove it, but that were essentially unreported by the world. how is that? well, there, we know that in the earlier days of the pandemic, there was a lack of testing. and then there are some places that had government pressures or just disorganization in order to record it cove it on the death certificates. now we saw this discrepancy, as you said, mostly in southeast asia, in europe, and in the americas egypt, one country that was highlighted with a discrepancy of 12 times, according to the w. a. jo, the coven, really does. there were 12 times higher than what was reported in pakistan. it was a times as high and in india almost 10 times. and in india there's been some pushback from health officials who have questioned the w. h o's methodology here. the w. a jose assigned

vetting every single person before they cross the agreement. originally that the you and the i, c, r c, are made between the 2 sides, is that only the civilians inside the as of style of the steel factory would to be evacuated. well that has change while they were there under ground. ukraine wanted to include more civilians that are outside of that factory in say, in more you post. so it deeper that had to be negotiated again. and again. now as she says about a 156 people who are on that convoy, so not many more as they do and maybe would have which we still have to hear from them because they have been quite silent on this all operation. i asked over and over again, and the spokesperson was all the say we cannot give any it is because we don't want to jeopardize this operation. oh, she said that there was this huge convoy that went through with buses. they could have accommodated about a 1000 people, but that did not happen. she says that there's more civilians that are hold up in that steel factory. and she said there was at least 40 people who are badly injured . now we don't know if tho

c, a r. so at the moment these activities are sort of on hold and russia activity in the else ice cream, and that will cause massive delays to the 5 g roll out c put so many young russians no longer see prospects for themselves. the well educated, in particular on packing their bags, it's estimated that $50000.00 i t experts have already left the country on the pope no, as it is from on this forecast from a russian association says that in april along another $100000.00 i t experts will lead on for those and round the brain missile called brain drain is massive. and it's not just in the i t sector, the i t long. so in the long term, the russian economy will take a serious hit lot. putin's lot chests still appears well stocked full now. now the war in ukraine has also caused enormous disruptions to global commerce, including the oldest trade route and the world the silk road. first, a quick look back at history, back in a 2nd century b. c. up until the middle ages, the silk road was the most important, transferred route, scanning continent, connecting china to europe, silk, spices, firs and porcelain, were transported in caravans on the 6400 kilometer root. the journey took 2 years that he's like some are kind and bu, cora both in modern day was becca. stan flourished along the silk road, but eventually trading shifted towards the seas because shipping goods across water was more efficient. but about a decade ago, china announced plans to revive the ancient silk road trade route with its landmark belt and road infrastructure initiative. our next report looks at how russia's invasion of ukraine is threatening china's ambitious new silk road. at the moment cargo ships are having to make long detours. russian ports are being shunned as our russian airports. western cargo planes are having to cover much longer stretches to avoid russian aerospace here. things can still be transported directly behind the so growth is still

r c p, the largest recruitment, c b, the part you know, high, you know, good china, you're getting the mess with judy and john, african corporations don't let more economical. ringback you know, corporation if you are still not willing to, but not really trying to build up with circles and then, you know, preventing of blocking certain countries like china, which is already in the largest in the region, handles the rising copy and taking over you to your side, michael, we know that the us has not been happy with china's stance when it comes to russia's invasion of ukraine. how much does china's reaction to that invasion, and how much does china's close relationship to russia play into all of this? well, i think that the ukraine war and russia's attack on crane has reinforced the notion that the framing of the global order today should be democracy versus authoritarianism. because here we haven't examples of an aggressive authoritarian state threatening a democratic or quiz or democratic stage. and that this is just harming are things to com. and so people then look at china and say, well china is an authoritarian state to and i wanted marcy and trying to has designs on taiwan. so trying to attack t

are. when you're calling, i see a fire or a try to stop diplomacy, the war is not going your way. but of course, the idea of having a, c, c, r and i was also very problematic because it is not followed up with diplomatic suggestion. like a solution to the conflict if you're just a sci fi without any diplomatic solution. well, it almost seems like it is just the way to stall in order to get your weapons to the from frontline. so you can't one week say you're going to push $50000000000.00 worth of weapon into your crane. and the next they say less of a cease fire until this wife and i found life. but i guess i see some changes on the reasoning behind it because it, on the main war, in ukrainian or half of ukraine's main forces are the best forces that is and they have out the very strong frontline again in the south on their southern front line for the ukrainians and had to build fortifications over the past 8 years. the trenches with holds against artillery and they have the job liens against the armored vehicles have been trying to storm and, and in the north you have a forest, you have the serious the river. so there's a lo

she says palestinian journalists are still in danger of being attacked by israeli forces. as we warned in r i c. c. complaint back in april, the attack some palestinian journalist by these red defense force have been widespread, am systematic, and the threat of an ongoing attacks against journalists is clear. sadly, showing up who are close. murder is a clear demonstration of the ongoing threat posed journalists and palestinian journalists reporting in the occupied territories and an urgent need to address impunity for these attacks. out there, a media network has also decided to refer the killing a sri and actually to the international criminal court. the network says it's put together a team of international legal experts. and it has decided to take should even as a case to i, c c, to hold her kilo accountable and bring justice to shitty. in addition, al jazeera is exploring all legal, was a bill was abilities and is it her mind to bring justice to sitting? and we will come every initiative to follow up on this guy that the barbara has been following the press conference in london. the key messa

r. c. he says such attacks are disturbingly frequent in the region. this situation has been going on for a long time, but there is some new ingredients in the situation in the state of c, l, c, h, which is going on in 20 provinces. so now the military is in charge and they are organizing military operation against our group, including the vehicle, is responsible to land incidence in the to it. so the main thing is to say that the i'm group is the main, the competence are coming from. and the lender and community, and they don't get to really just who are ok, bye bye, my community. let's see them that their demands are, are vast, but still they speak about an issue. so i'm done this figure about discrimination. but mentally, it's mostly about issues and the problem between communities to the philippines now, where presidential front runner, ferdinand macos junior, has promised to bridge the divide between all filipinos. an unofficial tally shows the son of a controversial former leader with a big lead over his nearest rival, florence li reports of manila. ha. protesters gather outside the election commission building to protest against what they say are voting irregula

c. r. e. w. -- what is c. r. e. w.'s perspective of the various legislative proposals that bans stock trading but permits talk ownership through the use of, which are currently allowed by law. i know you touched on it earlier, but if you would be a little more illuminating in response. >> absolutely. thank you for the question. i think the misnomer with respect to qualified blind trusts is that it only works if it's truly blind. our position is that qualified blind trusts could be a useful option if the member is required to effectuate the sale of all of the assets that would go into that trust beforehand. trust can't be blind if the member knows that they own microsoft the day before it went into the trust. they know that they still on the day after this. >> talk about judges. half of my legal career i was a judge back in north carolina, and i have great interest in judicial service. but does your organization have the recommendation for the present crisis of widespread recusal failure, failure to recuse, and lack of consent transparency regarding financial conflicts of interest in the judicial branch, in the federal judicial branch? >> absolutely. i agree with you that the conflict of interest issues that have arisen in federal judiciary and been exposed through detailed reporting are a crisis of confidence and need to be addressed by the congress. i would note, though, that one distinction between the ethics regime that applies to the federal judiciary versus members of congress is that recusal is an option. the problem with the federal judiciary is that judges didn't recuse. here in congress recusal is not a fireball option for members of congress that have a financial conflict of interest because it does nicer constituents affective representation in this body. >> and finally, professor, professor nagy, nagy i -- can't pronounce that exactly -- >> nagy -- >> but thank you for your service, thank you for testimony. thank you for testimony 13 years ago, whenever you testified before the stock act was passed. some people have argued that new prohibitions on stock trading activity on our unnecessary, some are actually saying that. they're saying it because it public disclosure and the electoral process should be enough and should be sufficient to address conflicts of interest. and they argue that disclosure allows for the public and good government groups to track trading activity and assess whether elected officials have acted unethically, and that informed by those disclosures, voters can remove unethical lawmakers at the ballot box. that seems extreme to me. what is your perspective on this argument? >> well, my perspective is that in 1978 congress, enacted the ethics in government act, with disclosure as the solution with a proposed solution for the conflicts of interest. ten years ago, in the s. t. o. c. k. act, we put in transparency reporting requirements, we are 45 days after. and disclosure hasn't worked. if anything, disclosure has, disclosure of financial transactions, puts it glaringly obvious to the public that the conflicts of interest are there. the voters decide, let the voters in the ballot box decide, that reflects a misconception of the -- the corrosiveness that conflicts of interest have. a voter, only in one district, decides the answer for that representative. but that representative's conflicts affect us all. >> i agree, absolutely. thank you, i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. the ranking member is recognized. >> thank you, madam chair. this is a very interesting hearing. i appreciate all the witnesses testimony, and i'm hoping that some of the witnesses'testimony hasn't already led the majority to kind of assess what type of legislative proposal they're going to put forward. because i think the discussion we're having today is too important to not take a
