a missile defense system, to reassure nato allies to 0 zane bizarre be sent this report from eastern poland, eastern poland, where foreign forces had come and gone for centuries. once again, the streets of tremendous la echo this time to the sounds of american sight, seeing but still a visible presence to reaffirm america's commitment to shout in warsaw us, vice president kamala harris confirmed the delivery of us patriot missile defense systems. to poland. i am here standing here on the eastern flank of nato to reaffirm our commitment for his commitment to poland and our nato. and there is no question that we stand united as it relates to many issues, added the tickler should ukraine,

economic sanctions remain the main us weapon for isolating moscow and exacting a high financial price for the russian invasion of ukraine. but as long as russia controls disguise, ukrainians pay with their lives, the one volunteer sent the us vice president of this message from the front binding. come on the hottest month bridges. what can i say to mrs kamala harris, which is for them? i would say that the necessary condition to preserve global democracy is closing this guy to russian aircraft. if you do this and there will be victory for democracy all over the world to be for now the us focus is on drawing a red line. poland, the number of american troops in the country is in the 1000 fine levels, not seen since world war 2. now this part of eastern poland is under a high security alerts. we can't get out in film like we normally could. but the profile of this airport has become distinctly more military and recent weeks,

far more military aircraft, taking off and landing and far more military hardware on the ground. the closest runway to the border with ukraine is that just of airport there is no mistaking the american presence here. once again in europe. talk of armies, alliances, war 19th century battle lines. being drawn with 21st century weapons. st. basra, b, l. g 0 gesture of eastern poland. russia says it allowed a ukrainian repair team to restore last hour to reach another nuclear side. russian troops of now sees the defense plant. that was where the world's worst atomic disaster happened in 1086 levels are taken over these apparitions, nuclear plant, europe's biggest, the developments of alarm, the us nuclear watchdog, whose chief had talked with russia and ukraine on thursday. we've been at, rambo is an ortho, on nuclear proliferation. he says atomic sites need to be secured quickly. one of the ideas presented by the international atomic energy agency is to greet 830

kilometer exclusionary zone within this other, you know, military action. and this is a behavior, very, very wise. there are 4 plants in ukraine and one of the plants is occupied now, 2 levels of the area. the 3 plants remain and it's uncertain what the russians are going to do with regard to these or, or reports some days passed, a russian forces were approaching one of the other plants. it's a very, very serious situation where these plants bombarded or electricity cut off. and there's other vulnerabilities associated with each and subtleties. the plant there, of course is the fuck because of the accident that occurred like maybe 6 or whatever their spend fuel situated at the plant of a $20000.00 rods and situated with the bin there for. we're now decades and they're not generating that much heat. the electricity was suspended from the plant because of the russian military action. evidently, some efforts are being entertained and as we talked to reconnect the plants of but

there's no immediate hazard posed by this particular matter or they're still residue itself as well from the accident. we've never had a situation in the past. we've had multiple reactors in the were say that it was certainly to military attack. and the russians should know better. a sense of the soviet union was involved in the worst under accident that the, the international communities ever seen, that it's a golf course. ah, just bring it some other world news now, and the pentagon says north korea has tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile system. the missile was 1st displayed in 2020 and tested in february and march this year. north korea says the tests were focused on developing a reconnaissance satellite alum fisher's life was now from washington d. c. allen. so u. s. officials are saying north korea's latest launches are a serious escalation. what more can you tell us?

well clearly the united states is concerned if north korea was developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, because that would do exactly what it says in the 10, which means that american cities would suddenly become within target of any in north korean weapons. that is why they're watching. what is going on here? live increase surveillance in the yellow sea area. they're also telling their course as dallas in the area, japan and south korea that their support is absolutely iron clad. no. the us seems to think that at the north koreans are using the idea of them developing a space program to test these icbc ems. because of course, north korea has said in the past, every country has the right to a space program and they are no different. however, the us thinks that it's simply just the cover and the of called, or north korea to stop development and proliferation. all these weapons and they've

called on the international community as well, to band together to warn you the north korea that they can't do this. seeing that any action like this on behalf of north korea is a clear breach of several united nations resolutions. so what does the u. s. going to do about it? apart from gather together. international support. bowler is the strong possibility that there could be sanctions with talk here in washington. that new sanctions against north korea could be announced at some point within the next 24 hours. i'd alan fish alive for stay in washington, dc. allen. thank it. not a former criminal investigator and shall anchors accusing the government of bringing trumped up charges against him. it has to do with the 2019 easter bombings, which kill 270 people. and l fernandez explains from columbus. the pharmacy id director shawnee, i'll be a secret, has made some explosive claims in his fundamental rights petition asking the court

to prevent what he says are moves to arrest him and implicate him in the east the bombing attacks. now as you can see, there's also a group of people that have come out to defend the form investigator. this banner read. let us not allow the government to harm shiny. let us protect shawnee and similar are. banners have come up, but let so save his life. let's ensure that no one places a hand on shiny. so there is concern among human rights defenders that this senior investigator who has an a mazing track record of success in his investigations is somehow being um, sort of set, amply few like in terms of the latest case and latest attempts to in or see that he is incarcerated or arrested. saving chinese life is about one of our men dot. so we came to stand and fish on the avi do and proceed through the government

. through god will not allow you to crutch shawnee and if anything happens to the chinese, the president, the difference i go through and that even the minister should ready to bad responsibly. i'm people wondering how much we are asking every one to defend shiny because it's only if he gets justice. we will get justice among those claims that he has made in this fundamental rights petition is the fact that the military intelligence and the state intelligence had colluded to mislead criminal investigators. before several months before the easter attacks. what he says is they had been wilfully with all the information they had been planting evidence to mislead the investigations. so all of these things have sent a lot of concerned. there's been a lot of claims and counterclaims out there. but this, this is from one of the lead investigations kind of concrete eyes. as those concerns chinese president elect gabrielle burrage will soon be sworn in becoming

its youngest leader and he setting more presidents. he comes to power as a left. america editor lexia newman reports now from santiago. oh, come, deal bought each is no ordinary precedent. i'd just barely 36. the world's 2nd youngest head of state represents the start of an era in chile, in politics. led by you young generation with dreams of social the color. yeah. um, i think you the money we advanced towards a more inclusive, generous july with no one left behind. all will continue with the logic of privilege against which chile has risen up. what each came to the forefront a decade ago as a student leader who helped forge a massive revolt for better public education. then he gave up university to become a congressman for a new left wing coalition ignore and critics of his informal attire. from a very young age. he showed leadership qualities. at age 9, he wrote, i was

a bad class president in 1st grade because then i didn't know what it meant to be president, but now i'm prepared and i promise you, i'll be a good president. and please don't vote for me just because i'm your friend, which comes from point that in us overlooking the magellan street on the tip of south america, where people say the gale force winds, and the bitter cold hope forged their strong character. the bowditch family comes from a long line of croatian migrants that settled here. that little body tis parents allowed us into their middle class home to talk about their son. they say he was always interested in politics, but that not even he imagined he'd be elected president to state months ago. philippa if he was chosen at such a young age, it's because it was in his cards. he was born with a mission, a very good one, but a mission that i would not have wished for him, obviously. oh, you bleed at leanna, but his father is less daunted by the weight of his son's responsibility. so look,

i mean looking in douglas county, the road is full of obstacles and we hope that the education and the environment that we gave him will help overcome those obstacles o recent years. but each has matured from what many saw as a left when radical to what in scandinavia or france would be considered a progressive. more concerned about forging consensus and confrontation. what it brings to the presidential palace behind me, the energy and idealism of youth. yet if nothing else, he has become very aware that making dreams come true will not be nearly as easy as it was to make promises when he was in the opposition. writer patricia for none dish, no sportage. well, in garden unable god, he incarnates an air of transformations of a new world order that is emerging, even though he leads a generation that takes office without experience in guzzling quite a bit on what it is already marking his style by moving into an edgy neighbourhood

where he can still buy his favorite sandwich and bread while talking to the neighbors. a ritual that will be useful to keep him in touch with the temperature on the street. see a newman al jazeera santiago and a quick reminder you can catch up with all the news the my website there it is on in the spring, the address al jazeera dot com ah die for a quick check of the headlines here on al jazeera residence in the ukrainian port city of mattie or poll say russian forces are once again bombarding them a day after attacking a maternity hospital. moscow says the hospital was being used by fighters. no.
