prove that you're really, europeans. well hey, i'm speed with some of the other developments on the diplomatic front delegates at the un. human rights council have walked out of the room in protest during a speech by russia's foreign minister on the ground. more than 70 ukrainian soldiers have been killed by russian chalet on a military base and the ne vance, according to local officials. and the mayor of merrier poll says the strategic port city is under constant shelling. he says residential quarters of in shell for 5 straight days. damaging schools and houses were throwing their full support behind ukraine. major figures in the european parliament have been speaking out against russia. the european councils president says, the e, you will now have to seriously look at ukraine's request for membership. charles michelle also commended sanctions imposed on russia. really doesn't assume the

divorce or, or net ladies and gentlemen, we have to be honest about all of this. the sanctions on russia will also impose a cost on us, but this is a cost worth paying because this is about our values, our convictions and our common future. as for the european union to officially recognize ukraine as a candidate country, it will be up to us as the you to act in accordance with the times. it's going to be difficult. we know that there are different views in europe. the council will have to seriously look at the symbolic and political and legitimate requests being made on the president of the european commission said the incontinence fate hangs in the balance of ukraine. she also acknowledged the anti war demonstrations in russia. nothing. a growing resistance against le malfunction, the actions of the kremlin are severely damaging the long term interests of russia and its people. more and more russians understand this as well. they are marching for peace and freedom. and how does the kremlin respond to this?

by arresting thousands of them, but ultimately the longing for peace and fries and freedom cannot be silenced. there is another russia, besides proteins, tanks and we extend our hand of friendship to these other russia. be a sure they have our support in the all low foreign policy keep also spoke out in profession heath calling for more unity among european nations in an effort to put an end to the conflict. one was the lesson that you had to learn from the invasion of ukraine is done more than ever you too much to think strategically about itself. is environment under world vision not longer. a luxury is a necessity, una mas amplified his reflection on security issues. and due to be on bannerman has had an important role to play in this regard. we think we need to think about the

instrument of coercion, retaliation and counter attack in the phased of reckless i'd bursaries because of all we need to understand is that to make peace, where need to be to but to make wall is enough to be one. this is exactly one mister putting a spelling rush cause i became space line for us in brussels. james, i'm really passionate speech is there from across the leadership. yes, absolutely. first probably was telling you the atmosphere here and some it up with this. normally when you come to brussels and somebody like the europe in parliament, you see everywhere you flag the blue flag with a circle of gold stars. well everywhere today, i can see blue and yellow flags,

including some of the members of the pond and wearing t shirts. with the flags in the parliament chamber outside the european pond, the ukrainian flag is flying everywhere. i got something new here today. rousing speech is starting off with president lansky himself addressing the european parliament talking about what's going on on the ground. talking about the latest attack in khaki. talking about he said, rush, trying to children being targeted by the russians. he said his country's losing the strongest. and the best and then he made an appeal for the european union to make ukraine a fast track the membership application, a membership application that he signed on camera 24 hours ago. well, we've heard from all of the european officials and they have given very strong support to ukraine in words and explain the very strong things that europe has done

in the last 6 days in support of the cry when the strongest sanctions packages ever change in europe. views and its policies, we've got to weapons buying weapons for an active ball zone and shipping them to ukraine. $500000000.00 more than $500000000.00 of weapons are going to get ukraine as a result of the european union, changing its policy and many more weapons going from individual european countries on that particular point. the key point that was asked by the ukranian news, we are having a vote voting over the next couple of our and the vote will come out and just on the 3 as time, european bottom and voting to say that it needs to see a fast track of ukraine being a member of the european union. now that's a symbolic european policy can actually make that happen. but the people that can make it happen was speaking to europe in council president,

shall michelle say that what happens next is that needs to be an opinion of the european commission. that's the civil service of europe and then not need to get to europe council. that's the leaders of the $27.00 countries that make up the european union. the european commission that president us live on the line spoke and you had a moment ago. she said, i am sure ukrainian people belong in european families. so saying in principle, she believes they should be a member, but also say it will be a long path. and even if ukraine was to be somehow false, tractors accounted a country, then that is something that the would still take a long time. it's a very long drawn out process. james, a lot of the speakers were talking about how nimble the e u has been how fast it's been able to respond, but particularly interested in the move to quote switch off the financial capacity of russia. joseph brown,

talking about how they managed to freeze half of rushes reserves. how much impact is all of that likely to have well, they believe it will be a very strong impact on presentation, but we're talking about a very big country. so i'm looking over his tit for of her only because of the present the or pin council chart. michelle is right next to be now and we will find out what he's been saying. come said the closer i'll try and grab him and get him to talk to us. but, but clearly they are hoping that what they put in place is going to change putins calculations. i would add that is the possible other side of that. but roger is a very, very large country, the putin government has for years been trying to win itself off of trade and, and supplies from the west and trying to be as self sufficient as possible. and you

just look at the very crippling struck sanctions in the past because the sanctions put it in place in 991-9911 saddam hussein after invaded ukraine. well, saddam hussein stayed empowering to kill 2003. they say it always wrong to compare different historical periods in different conflicts, but it does show you that sanctions only have the fact what, what is also it means, in addition to what effect is going to have on the, on the leadership and the leadership in russia. almost certainly i have to say these sorta crippling sanctions are going to really affect the russian people who obviously on to blame for what's going on. i james, we'll leave it a try and catch a shout. michelle, thank if that anti james days there in brussels. russia is foreign minister accused the european union of engaging and russia, phobic behavior by supplying weapons, teen crane delegations from the west won't down of his speech and the human rights

council proposal that would assume that is with us de leon with united states and its allies are creating their own new world order as of 2014, the key of regime is waging war against its own people. the constitution of ukraine has been changed and the new nazi's that have gained power, there are waging real terrors as cause out. and you say mentors i have found if near the border with poland and andrew and at warring development, it appears that belo russian troops may now have crossed into ukraine in support of russia. yes, sir. there is a form of dread sweeping across his country right now, interspersed with pride to see a president before european parliament being shared a standing ovation. but as he was doing that, a new column of armor is heading south from the north border of ukraine,

heading towards a conflict. well, few can imagine an escalation and that column belongs to bella luce, this country is now joined this wall, it would seem, were the column of $33.00 military vehicles at 1st. i am the 11 grand missile launchers seen an attorney heave region, which is about 20 kilometers a south of the border heading south as i say in the same area as a, a column of something like 30 to 60 kilometers kilometers long. and now the front of that column, this is a russian column that is about 1750 to 17 kilometers outside the that the outside the outskirts, all of the city of keith. and we are now hearing also further fighting a lot of fighting in the south in the,

in the area near mario pole in the mid coast. and that is getting fiercer all the time. and people are dealing with a massive explosion. a number of rockets attacks on the local administration headquarters in hockey, which is the 2nd city. this is distinct because it is not a military target by any means. and it's only less than 24 hours after a tax on civilian areas in which a number of people were killed. 3 children, according to the mer burned alive in a car. rockets fired at these residential areas, and also it would appear cluster bombs used. the international criminal court has agreed that it will look into allegations of war crimes. this is using special measures because ukraine had made a grievance at votes to make the jurisdiction of the whole of ukraine available for

icy c investigations. back in 2014 furthermore 70 soldiers killed on the monday, a in a barracks. and this is coming from ukraine, defense ministry, a colossal number, one of the highest numbers of soldiers killed in any attack so far. this whole country. it has a tremor of fear right now on what's gonna happen next. i had andrew, thank you for that update for now we'll be checking back in with you. things are moving as you say by the hour. now anderson is aaron. this is andy. russian defense minister sanjay chicago has denied that the military is shelling residential areas in ukraine. now, the russian army does not occupy ukrainian territory. it takes all measures to preserve the lives and safety of civilians. i would like to stress that strikes are carried out only on military targets and using only precision weapons where they

were still clothing in the course of military clashes. the ukrainian site does not hesitate to use civilians as human shields or multiple launch rocket systems. guns, large caliber motors, are placed in the courtyards of residential buildings near schools and kindergartens. i doesn't jabbar is not for us now in moscow. dorothy, so russia's defense minister that we just heard accusing ukraine of being the aggressor, the same rhetoric with hed ah, from russia's foreign minister. so guy lives off, what else was he saying idea? well, and before i get to that, i wanna, i just let you know about some news were just getting in from the russian defense industry. they are urging and the civilian population in the ukrainian capital. he have to evacuate their homes or to if they live anywhere near em. any government buildings that are, are used for communications in the country. the defense ministry has said that

a key of bass i. t systems communication facilities are being used for cyber attacks against russia. and that the russian military will be, um, sorry, just one second. we'll be delivering at precise attacks on these facilities and they are urging the civilian population to evacuate those areas if they live near them. now this is the 1st time that we've heard from the russian defense ministry warning of in as hoc in a civilian area since this invasion began on february 24th. they haven't done this before, and we are to understand that they are trying to take out the facilities that have been launching a number of cyber attacks on various a government sites here in russia. at the defense ministry has said that he had residents living near any of those uh facilities will be hit. they have to leave

their homes. they haven't said when that attack is due to take place, but we understand it to be soon. they said that they will be struck with precision guided munitions. so that's the latest we've heard from the russian defense industry. we've also heard from the kremlin spokesperson, the richard pascall, who, earlier a today's said that they are not at. they deny that there are any a war crimes committed by the russian troops in ukraine, and that he reminded the world that russia is not part of the entrenched criminal court. and he also, for the 1st time, which is something new from the kremlin and said that russia recognizes at vladimir zalinski legitimacy as the president of ukraine. of course, this is a very much a turn for they are kremlin because vladimir putin has said that he didn't recognize zalinski as the legitimate leader just a few days ago. so there now seems to be an attempt by the kremlin for

a slightly softer tone. it could be seen as the rushes trying to it slightly changed their tone based. somehow things have been gone unfolding since they launched this invasion, even as russian troops advanced on the the capital or i thank you for that for now . those jibari, there's in moscow. let's go now to al jazeera senior, political air, to morrow, the shower, who joins us now. ah, my room, what do you make of what we've heard so far from so gay laval from the russian defense minister from the e. u. i mean concerning what we've heard just now from dall, so that russia's defense ministry has now urging civilians in the capital to leave . look, i must say that the rhetoric that we're hearing from both sides is one theory. but what's going on on the ground is a whole other thing. and i think far more important in a sense that yes, the europeans are showing unprecedented solidarity. they are actually doing one

another in their radical language, if you will, some of them following the russians barberie, or put ins, attack, barbarian and so on, so forth. while on the other hand, love rolls, speech rather weak. trying to justify and envision that's basically unjustifiable on linguistic complaints and human rights complaints of us in a different sovereign nation. but on the ground we are, we're seeing 2 things happening at the same time. one, the russians are advancing and yes, why they koreans are resisting? i think in the 5th or the 6th day, we are st. we're still seeing the russians doubling down and moving forward according to plan. what about the plan is whether it's an all out war or special operations. on the other hand, nato is moving forward, deploying troops in eastern europe, in poland,

closer to russia and ukraine. so these are 2 important strategic developments. the advance of the russian army and the advance of the native deployment. because let's all remember why this whole thing started put in insisting that ukraine must not join the nato and nato must not expand to east europe and deploy nuclear weapons and so on, so forth. so what we're seeing now is that russia moving completely into ukraine and nato, moving completely into eastern europe, marin, what do you think is the game plan here? i mean, as we've seen the same as images of, of troop movements. a huge convoy heading towards the capital key is and as you say, nato troops heading to woodside. natives east and border want is praveen. it's the, it's the, it's the golden question, isn't it? want, is want as president cushion want here? how is this going to play out?

there are a number of scenarios, and a number of leading experts have basically way. then, what is clear is that it is not what some assumed originally that this might be a limited operation to easter grade. certainly it is not neither, it's the full fledged occupation of an entire country in the subtle blitzkrieg 3 steps. step one, if such step 2 will you will into them answer the steps. the 3 is, you occupy the country. we haven't seen that sort of movement either. what i conclude if you will, i am not military searchers. i'm a started just not a military started. is that what boulden is doing is making sure that he dominates that the political decision making ukraine. that's why he's moving to key iv and hockey funds on i think he's doing something similar to what the israelis did and lebanon, exactly 40 years ago. what had they done?

they basically attacked the entire country, surrounded the capital b route, and then eventually withdrew to and to a to a major what they called security zone in the south. and i think that's what we can do in the ukraine, is really attacking in the country is moving into the capital rob bill would be surrounding and, and entering the capital. but the main idea would be, is how to change the regime in k if, if he can regime change in cave and then pull it back to the east somewhere i would say line straight from har, gave dawn to crimea to create a major zone, almost one 3rd of ukraine to the east, to be on the russian control. i would think that is his end game for the time being in terms of how he's deploying his forces from russia and by the us. and i now on the shy, they're in london for us. thank you. plenty more had on the news hour,

including half a 1000000 accounting ukrainians crime train stations. they try to flee the ongoing conflicts and in sport, the ice, hockey world takes a stance against russia. that story, coming off a little later in the program. ah, turkey has designated russia assault on ukraine as a war, and it said it would execute an international impact restricting the use of the turkish straits. it's the 1936 montreaux convention and against turkey, control of a 2 important waterways, the darnell and of boss for a straits. and they take you from the black sea out to the mediterranean, proved to mom or sea of sea of mamma. and it's the base for rushes, black sea fleets that's been used to target ukraine's southern coast. the pac allows turkey to close the straits to all foreign warships in times of war war,

when threatened by some, there is an exception. if a more ship is returning to its own port, and then passage cannot be prevented. turkish foreign minister matthew cham show. lou has said that this right shouldn't be abused. so ships that are allowed to pass to their bases should not then join the war tomorrow, shall, is live for us. now it is double jamal. okay, so there's this packed in place. it's going to be enforced, but there are exceptions. how was turkey going to implement or enforce this well, essentially, and cause paying a balancing act because on the one hand it enjoys strong relationships with moscow . busy on the other, obviously it is the 2nd largest military in nato, and also she enjoys very strong relationships with ukraine. what it's done by essentially declaring the situation awards you mention is that it, it has triggered montreaux agreements and i'm just sending overlooking the boss for

us. now you'll see to the right side of the screen is where the mediterranean is. and any warship that wants to head back towards the black sea would be coming from that direction all the way to the left. so from the garden i was on the rise all the way to the left towards the black sea. what, as you mentioned there, what's the turn upside is that they will not be allowing any warships to come from the, from one side to the other to join the war. however, the vast majority of what we understand of russia, black c, please, is already in position. on the other side, there will be given passage if they want to return back to base. but what turkey is trying to do here is at least show that it is not flaming the flames or finding rather the flames of fire. it still wants to position itself as a mediator. in this conflict the president read paper or the one has more than one

occasion, said that he is willing to negotiate between both sides. in fact, there was even talk from the ukrainians, counting assemble as a possible venue for peace talks here, where the russia would allow for that's considering that turkey is a nato member, is probably likely, but as it stands now, both because of the military and economic ties, talked, it has with russia and overseas position and nato. it is sitting on the fence so to speak. that being said, rush of talk, you find yourself juxtaposed to rush on a number of different files and libya and syria even. well, during the hours of re john armina war, and therefore this is something that may be anchor will take into consideration in the ability to try and put pressure on moscow in this current conflict. but yes, as it stands now, which enforced this international treaty, what more action tarkey will be taking? will wait to see in the next 2448 hours tomorrow i shall therefore i some estoppel . thank you. oh trains are some of the only means for people to escape. you cray,

in his boss roots are close because of the fighting. i'm tell him he'd visited a station and did he pro, an east in ukraine as locals trying to flee? the heart wrenching good buys loved ones, not knowing when they will unite again. women and children heading west to relative safety. often leaving men behind males between the age of 18 to 60, are not allowed to leave the country in these times of war. among them, foreigners also trying to get out. joseph is a medical student from ghana. he arrived in disney pro less than a year ago, hoping to one day become a heart surgeon. now he just hoped to reach any border visited time. i've been at the train station. i missed the 1st and the 2nd one. while the struggle was tough because i'm returning home,

rush into words. and then i'm the 1st time i got into the train, i was literally suffocates and i had to get down because it was super overcrowded. so that does, how can we stayed? so this time, train rise of a free, but it's on a 1st come 1st serve basis said no one is guaranteed to leave without a long wait. here at the bus station, there's only a few rides available and that's only to the surrounding villages. otherwise, there are no buses any more because it, the destinations are either out of reach order road is too dangerous. so people like flew me in rose, now need to find another way to get out of the city. both our students from nigeria, they continued attending classes until the 1st day of rushes, assault on ukraine. reaching the decision to go was not easy. i witnessed the force

towards his own on the 14th of august. it was, bruce always was by, which was why an absolute major offensive medication. so now i just me a pre, i struggle to come back to finish my final year every. so now i'm like 3 months to rice and my finance and is up to you. so it's kind of a difficult decision for your see all the ways common them go school bassinger 80 young person you they are trying to reach the romanian border with no bus inside their head back to the train station. ah, only to find themselves rushing to the shelter among hundreds of ukrainians under move. this family fled the nets region, a head of another possible peak over by the russian back separatist. they're trying to calm down jeannie and worried of the long trek her head. meanwhile,

rosen sumi are looking into other options to evacuate, so not to day. uh no, nothing tomorrow and next me. but for now, they like many others, we'll have to return home. hoping to morrow is a better day. hood added hamid al jazeera, didn't he pro, in eastern ukraine? we're just bringing you an update. now, russian media is reporting that more towards having scheduled between ukrainian and russian officials for to morrow. now, no location has been set yet for those talks, but we will bring you more details as we get them. all right, let's take a check. now all the weather has elliton. hello the weather slash is that fair across northern parts of china through the korean peninsula, southern parts of japan, favor northern japan. that will be some more snow as we go on through the next couple of days. little area of low pressure just around the sea of japan. one or 2 wintry flurries rolling in on wednesday, but it's more we got wanting to thursday,

those showers becoming a little more widespread across. so western western parts of honshu pushing up into her carter could cause further disruption than south of that. generally try. try to warm up in tokyo, getting up into the mid teens. not too bad here. sheltered by the mountains for the west. there we go. hasn't spring sunshine there for soul and for beijing, sprinkling a showers across central and southern parts of china into ty, why one or 2 showers to into indo china, but not too much to speak of here. pretty a shout. meanwhile, across southeast asia, in the heaviest, are gonna be across central parts around the equator, whether should be that's where the seasonal rains. look at the moment, and plenty of showers. they're a little further south into indonesia. meanwhile, we got some very heavy re making its way towards a small anchor over the next day or so. big bowls of cloud in the southern sections of the bare been goal is making its way towards full anchor. for the north of that is largely dry for india. some snow they're from north pakistan says come here, one out there on the call to defend democracy worldwide. the u. s. president is

there to make a state of the union speech for the difference. and in sports will rushes athletes be able to participate in the parent games? evasion event. it's often just 3 days. ah, my name is mike and andrew is my materials made to my fans beauty's brands. to that point with my, ah, with my nigeria on al jazeera, ah frank assessments for china will benefit from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get

together informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs enough, right. on that statement. critical debate, why group would claims that nato constitutes an existential threat to russia, but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou ah, ah, you're watching out there on a reminder of our top story this on your grains president lamar zalinski is calling on the you to prove it. support the face of the russian invasion. he spoke at a special session of european parliament a day after keith officially asked to join the block. russian forces are

bombarding ukraine's capital q and the 2nd biggest city caucus. further south ground troops have advanced on mario pulp and carson in the north fellowship. troops are reported me have reported they, robert entered ukrainian territory. and russian media is reporting that mortals have been scant, all within ukrainian, or russian officials for to morrow or location has yet been set up for those talks . or many students asked star committee non ukrainians from africa. they bow being turned away from the border. they must, randy has met some of them who were lucky enough to cross over at a reception center in cordova in eastern poland. every person currently housed in this warehouse on the ukraine, poland border had their lives turned upside down. when russia invaded ukraine.

the number of people forced to live package offers an insight into the enormous scope of this crisis. and still they keep coming bust in from the book away from the war. but now inland. we're here at one of the many reception centers set up on the ukraine, poland border where people have been telling us how happy and relieved they are to finally be inside poland to have crossed over the border from ukraine. that many people have also been telling us of the indignities that they have suffered on the ukrainian side of the border. people from countries in asia, africa and the middle east were living and working in ukraine when the war began. weapons of war do not discriminate. so every one ran for their lives, like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, we were already lost people to good to get on entity. those always laid out. so no further put their people 1st and us. i'll say for me it was discriminating,

but i think for them it's normal because it's their country. they need to save their people. first, some of the people we spoke with said a country at war could be forgiven for putting their own people 1st. but for others, some with ukrainian families of their own. the contrast of how they were treated was to star. we understand that they need to save just it is in bed. we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been lawful in january. we have shown them love, i believed that the least it could do was to, if i quit, my thought is that refugees, a refugee under average is a human being. and it doesn't matter what, what does skin color, religion, political attitude or whatever that is, if the rated seed needs help, then we need to help the rectory. the non european refugees coming into poland, tell stories of generous strangers, giving help shelter, food and transport. but they also tell stories of guns being pointed at them by

ukrainian troops being forced back to make way for ukrainians to get to safe havens 1st. and even in bullet tempers run. oh no, you can't charge us the way that we went out to warn. so now you've been ukrainian or they can just do green, and i'm so sorry, i respect you as a police officer, but what you guys are doing here, this is not the job of a country that is so in itself that they are helping refugees coming from ukraine, a war as always, it seems, brings out the best and worst in people. and even if the fighting stops had for repairing the damage done to all the lives touched by this crisis, will take much longer zane basra, the osha, 0 cordova eastern portland. let's bring an anna alba. she is a human rights activist at minority rights group. she joined us via zoom from warsaw. thank you very much for joining us on the news are. what are you hearing on

the ground about people being either helped to last or turned away, refused the right to escape based on their ethnicity? yes, this is true. we are hearing a lot of stories like this. we are gathering testimonies of non ukrainians fleeing ukraine, fleeing the same war and being treated in a different way on the polish side and on the, on the ukraine sites in a very different way. and polish border guards are letting through everybody that doesn't matter if they have documents or not. but what is happening on the ukrainian side, in the lines and on the train and bus stations is very worrying. what capacity does poland have to deal with the influx of people who are fleeing ukraine? poland was getting ready for it. there is a lot of places. there is also a beak served from civil society. a lot of polish normal people invites refugees

home. unfortunately, we see that there is much more support needed for non ukrainian coming polish society, supporting them a b class. we have to remember that police society was fed by have and to migration narration for year. so this is most surprising, right? longer term, i mean is there a process in place or. 1 are there talks about moving people on from poland said to, to sort of more stable accommodation all? what's the, what's the plan right now or now most of the ukrainians are getting accommodation in houses of polish people and in different locations in the whole, poland, non ukrainians are being taken from the border to reception centers. let's see what will happen next. i am afraid that such a day or if you will not go for very long and long term plan is needed for all the

people fleeing ukraine. absolutely. they are going to leave it there for time. thank you for that. and i'll be there a human rights activist at the minority rights group. thank you. or many have fled most ukrainians haven't left their homes since the intense fighting begun settling deck attacks. look at what life's been like for some of them. well, enough enough, she pleads in motion hulu. the kremlin says its forces are only targeting military installations, but in war there are no such clear lines. this is the result of russian shelling on the region of done yet. homes have been destroyed. wald, it's freezing. nothing make sense, but you will know nucleus fossa, much more dusky. why is nobody saving us? is but why is it like he had? city district is cursed. everything has been abandoned here. they were firing at us, but we didn't hear

a single shot in that direction. who is protecting us yet because we do vladimir poo jones war has entered homes and turned lives upside down. this maternity ward has been moved to a bomb shelter in the city of khaki, but has come under heavy attack. for these new mothers, these are uncertain. and terrifying times above ground, people have been documenting the damage on their mobile phones west of the capital cave. what was once an ordinary part of daily life is no more. life has come to a standstill in many parts of the country. many who speak russian have ties to russia, but this war has now become deeply personal. kaiser woke, are you not good enough? what it was it? i don't want to speak russian simply because prudent speaks russian. i live here and my mother is russian or you and we used to speak in russian all the time we

studied here. and after this, after putin attacked us, i deliberately switched to ukrainian. i will speak only ukrainian, whatever it takes for broke roy. when the duke thought this war is now almost into a full week with most people here wondering what is it or for stephanie decker? i'll g 0. how the news u. s. president joe biden will deliver his 1st state of the union speech to congress on tuesday. ukraine and iran are expected to be top of the agenda, rob reynolds reports, as we watch freedom of liberty under attack abroad president joe biden will give his speech to congress and the american people against the backdrop of a dangerous crisis in europe. the issue of russia's aggression in ukraine will surely dominate his thinking and his speech. that's the biggest issue that actually might change the global order. the way we know it bitin will emphasize the united

front of nato allies talk about how sanctions against russia will work. and how he intends to give more help to ukraine. there will be other foreign policy items on the agenda, including nuclear negotiations with iran fighting global warming. and the vital yet precarious relationship with china. the relationship of china is a long term, multi faceted relationship that covers the waterfront. ah, by contrast, the situation in the middle east has received a scant attention from biden, when it comes to the middle east. the strategy of the by the administration seems to be focus focused on doing the bare minimum inflation is a big political liability for the president calls that have said that right now that the high rate of inflation is actually the thing that is most important to americans across the board, higher fuel and food prices resulting from the invasion of ukraine and sanctions on

russia will add to inflationary pressure. biden must convey the message that he is fighting for americans. having trouble making ends meet the coven pandemic that dominated domestic issue. since 2020 is waning rapidly. new coven 19 cases have dropped 65 percent over the past 2 weeks. biden is likely to take some credit for that. as well as his bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last year and other accomplish it's. he has an ambitious agenda and he passed, you know, a huge support plan. the american recipe plan during the pandemic, which actually in a short time cut child poverty rate by half, by the needs to get better at really communicating to people. his efforts that his administration has done and being clear about it being energizing about it. why not many for the united states supreme court judge catastrophe, jackson biden is sure to call for the swift confirmation of judge cotton g brown

jackson, whom he nominated to be the 1st black woman on the u. s. supreme court. with his approval rating lower than ever, biden has a chance to show leadership in an overseas crisis, and what a positive spin on the domestic situation. thank you. thank you. the question is whether he will be able to get that message across rob reynolds al jazeera. let's bring in henry olson. he is a senior fellow, the ethics and public policy center, and he joins us now by noon from washington. d. c. thanks for your time. how do you think president bond and we'll address the war and ukraine and the american physician on it in his address? i think he's going to present it as a war law and democracy against tyranny and aggression. i think he will call on american traditions to unders gird, our response in our defense of the crane,

while at the same time making clear that under no circumstances will engage in behavior that will risk a direct war with russia. i think you'll be strong and resolute and tie it to the best of americas international traditional. how do you think people, american, people think that president biden has performed both given sort of the domestic challenges that he's faced and the, the international foreign policy challenges he's faced in his time. your polls are pretty unanimous on that that anybody except the democrats, loyal democrats, are pretty much unhappy president. right. and they don't think that he is talking about the issues domestically that they care about. we don't think he's effective in solving those issues. and while more people are approving of is reaction in ukraine, the polls suggest that they wish you would have been stronger. they would like to be live in a world where russia did not invade ukraine,

and that america could have presented it without war with russia. that's where american public opinion was right now. okay, you said everyone except the democrats, one about the support base, the traditional support base, the people who elected him. how do they feel he's performed? democrats are still behind him. democrats are behind him, not strongly. one of the things that's unique about the buying presidency is that he has a lot of approval with democrats. but when you're asked whether or not it's a strong approval or just a mild approval, even democrats are only giving him mild approval. more people at this point in his presidency start that donna gave donald trump strong approval that are currently giving joe biden. and you can see that with 3 separate democratic responses to the president's state of the union address, like from the laughter from the center that's unheard of. usually a president's own party will not respond to the president's own speech,

but the left is wrong with fighting. but is unhappy with him and other elements of the democratic party feel the need to distinguish themselves in some way. and that let you know where the democrats are indeed. all right, thank you for that. and also sir henry olson, a senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center. thank you. a military helicopters are air lifting people, stranded on rooftops in flooded neighborhoods. in eastern australia, 10 people have died off to flood waters submerged several towns in the states of queensland and new south wales. the extreme weather has been described by one politician as a one in a 1000 year event. emergency crews have carried out more than a 1000 rescues. 11 people have been killed after a fire ripped through a shopping mall and serious capital, damascus. and now the 2 people were rescued from the la garad, a mole near the city's center. all calls
