. this sir, that's a fuel storage area on fire at the anton of international airport congress facility with the giant air fried his aright. that's them. in the middle of this shot, the plains which have been hit in russian strikes, and in fact, the world's largest cargo aircraft, known as the maria was destroyed in a russian attack. earlier in this conflict, now watch this. we match the same area on google earth, which uses the same max or satellite imagery. those are the planes that were hit there. those are the fuel tanks, which we showed you in the 1st shot, and we'll just come out and show you the whole airport festival as a say, a cargo airport facility. it looks like some pretty rural sort of part of ukraine. but if i come out even further, and you start to see that it's only 25 kilometers as the crow flies from the airport to the center of cave, 55 kilometers by roads. that is why, from the so concerned in keith about how close the russians are getting. in fact, half the population of keith is now left as russian forces move ever closer towns

on the outskirts of the capital of come under intense shelling and people escaping a telling of atrocities they say. a being committed by russian soldiers said, ransom has spoken to some of them. chased away thy bombs and bullets. these refugees are trying to understand why their lives were destroyed in just 2 weeks. the apartments shalt and burnt. they took the brunt of the russian offensive towards the capital. residence of butch and warsaw in the north west of keith were finally evacuated, after being locked up in their basements for days, with little food and water, their cities now under russian control. well, what is along the russians tell us not to be afraid. they will not hurt us, but they create conditions that are very frightening. we see that people who try to move out of the city by cars carrying their things a being shot at. we could see the front st covered in blood fit, lana death tear escaped with her husband and children after russian troops shot at

our house and took over the apartment block one of all their glory. 30 years later, they said nothing to people whose apartments they occupied to one person they said just go to the basement. one neighbor wanted to come to his flat to take some clothes before evacuating, but they did not allow him. he left with only his documents. others dallas about russian soldiers throwing smoke grenades, into basements, to force people out and ordering men and boys to strip and crawl. a woman tells us an 11 year old boy was killed doing that. if not only managed to escape a war zone, but also the harshness of life on the russian occupation, many here are too afraid to share their stories on camera instead of liberating ukrainians from naziism and flattery. me put and says he wants to do men here. say there's nothing liberating about this war, aren't you? moreover, for jerry, the russian advanced towards the capital received a serious blow when ukrainian forces destroyed part of a large column of tanks,

ukrainian air force so far as also managed to protect the give from serious attacks from the sky. but ukraine is suffering losses to law for difficult thought about the lucas lost our tanks bombed as well in the streets of boucher. there is a large column of destroyed russian tanks, but close to our house is a column of ukrainian tanks also destroyed. green visa, full autumn, me, escape russian, occupied boot. jack just one hour away from keith. he says, russian soldiers, much people, foes, and to get him cards. go to my awesome guys. what are you doing here? everyone who's speaking russian, who are you trying to liberate? many here from don't mass. we came in 2014. they gesture to me that they had no idea or talk with you a little while russian soldiers might not be sure about the goal of this war to many ukrainians. it's clear they believe, flooding me,

put in his aiming for my don square in the center of keith, a symbol of a revolution 8 years ago that brought your grain closer to europe. a price that ukraine will defend that all they have. steadfast and al jazeera keith mentioned this a little bit earlier. the russian foreign minister, saggy lover of meeting is ukrainian counterpart demitra caliber in turkey. this was their 1st face to face meeting since rushes invasion. caliber said they discussed even a 24 hour cease fire that made no progress jamal a shout is an italia in turkey, where the talks happened. no real tangible results despite the high profile meeting between the top diplomats from russia and ukraine. the language used by the 2 in their separate respective press conferences, was very interesting. on the one hand, dmitri color by the, for the minister of ukraine, said that russia had rejected his country's request for it 24 hours. he's fire. he

said that it appeared that moscow's foreign minister didn't even have the power to make decisions for himself. we also raised the issue of assist fire 24 hour fire to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this since. it seems that there are other decision makers for this, for this matter in the russian. now, whether abouts was ukraine's foreign minister simply scoring points against his russian counterparts, or whether that's a further or furthering the narrative over his country, that the invasion of ukraine and the war on ukraine by russia is in fact one that is solely orchestrated by president vladimir putin and an attempt to further isolate him. analysts will be discussing on the other side, the russian foreign minister, the friend of his country's actions,

saying that they had taken those actions not to occupy ukraine. and so much as to the militarize it and prevent it from becoming what he described as a neo nazi states military is up to you. we don't want militarization of ukraine, you can do it even without nato. we don't want the preservation of the tendency to create a new nazi state and ukraine. of course we want ukraine to be neutral. tarkey says it will continue exhausting all the efforts and all the resources it has to try and find a peaceful solution to this ongoing war. but whilst it enjoys good relationships, both with kiev and with moscow, it doesn't lock in the leverage. and the pressure needed to force concessions from either side over the next 2448 hours, very high level talks taking place, significant talks in at least the representation that has happened here. and, and tanya, but still a long way to go before we can find that even the horizons of

a diplomatic solution to this ongoing war. a european union leaders a meeting in france to discuss a lot more they can do to help ukraine and punish russia. discussions ran into the early hours of the morning and they will continue later on friday. and diplomatic editor james bays is in versailles near paris with the summits being held in the hours before this summit. the host, french president, emmanuel macro, and the german chancellor, olaf schultz spoke by telephone with president putin. after that call president macros said he was depressed and worried. today when i look at the facts, lead relisted. the fact that the following russia decided to launch a war, russia is bombing ukraine, russia bombing, even civilians. and in pilot, you have a negotiations with these negotiations is not ready to be concluded. the response

to this crisis by the e u has so far been united and strong, but there are different views on what to do next. some like the latvian prime minister, christiane is karen's. on the sanctions extended to the energy sector. we have to not only isolate proteins, economy, but cripple the economy as quickly as we can. ukraine wants the e. u to give it fast track membership. but many leaders here believe that's a non starter. i want to focus on what we can we do have were volunteers zalinski tonight, tomorrow and, and your accession of ukraine is something for the long term. if at all, the talks went on into the night and will continue later on friday. but it's clear ukraine is not going to get what it wanted, a fast track route to e u membership. james bayes al jazeera versailles coverage continues after the break, as the, with congress approves, almost $14000000000.00 in emergency, and humanitarian, miniature,

and military. adam's artful ukraine, plus julie will soon have the youngest president in its history, coming up will tell you something about the man and some color revolutionary. others i reflect ah, how are we got all sorts going on across the middle east at the moment a little bit of went a little bit of summer. we have got to cloud and rain sleet, the snow across northern parts of the regions spilling out to live and running in across at east side of turkey. fabulous snow here that will cause some disruption, just clipping northern parts of syria. iraq pushing either towards iran further south, his that hate. 35 celsius here in doha heat. already on less halters, we go on into sas day,

but fail to agree on how to stop the fighting. with a high level discussions between the 2 thought rushes invasion, rushes, now call to you and security council meeting for friday. it wants to discuss its allegations that the u. s. has been helping ukraine to develop biological and chemical weapons. the white house has dismissed the claims as laughable america and ukraine actually suspect rusher is laying the groundwork to use such weapons itself . as modeling looked at the l. you, scott, are also yeah, go with this spreading lies to cover up the crimes that committing against. she cried in mary, a pole and dozens of other cities in their, alleging that we're developing biological and chemical weapons on the i'm very concerned because we've already seen russia accuse others and then commit the crime itself. listen to the accusation, that's in russian mass media. it shows they capable of doing this. i'm russian military personnel, special services. i have already done this and other countries and they announced

that they might get cancellations. and then they conducted themselves again. and again, the only thing that russia is that the lauder ukrainian repair team to restore lost power to the chin of nuclear side. russian troops have now seized the defiant plant, where the world's worst atomic disaster happened back in 1986. i've also taken over the shift nuclear plant, which is your largest. these developments alarming, the un nuclear watchdog, whose chief held talks with russia and ukraine on thursday. we talked to ben at ramberg about us. he's an author on nuclear proliferation. he says these atomic sites need to be secured and secured quickly. one of the ideas presented by the international atomic energy agency is to greet 830 kilometer. ringback exclusionary zone within those other vanilla no on the military action. and this will be here for very, very wise. there are 4 plants in ukraine and one of the plants is occupied now to local is the area. the 3 plants remain and it's uncertain what the russians are

going to do with regard to these are, when reporting days passed, a russian forces were approaching one of the other plants. it's a very, very serious situation with these plants from barton, 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 1986. however, their spent fuel are situated at the plant of a $20000.00 rods and situated with at the been therefore 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 worst city that have been subject 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 of the economic side of things. the russian president has acknowledged the sanctions imposed on him and his country are quite creating challenges. but he van to overcome what he described as a legal measures and suggested their back firing on the west loses didn't it? showing you with machines, with regards to countries making hostile steps towards us with the way they are calling on their citizens to say even dress warmly, which shows that the sanctions they are introducing against us impacts their own economy. we want to stress that we all feel filling all our energy supply obligations in full everything we have to supply. we are supplying to our consumers in europe, 100 percent, to the listeners. we, together with our partners. those who don't recognize these unlawful actions. we will find solutions for all these problems. is a good the economic impact of the sanctions against russia though being felt at

petro pumps in the u. s. u process there are soaring, president biden says moscow is to blame, but republicans blame him for letting the conflict in ukraine impacts americans. reynolds with this report from los angeles, this group of pennsylvania college students flew to los angeles for their spring holiday. but the soaring price of fuel has put a crimp in their plans for fun in the california sun. why to be landed from the airport and i saw the gas prices i was like, ah, fuel has been expensive for months due to a pen demik induced shortfall in supply. but russia's attack on ukraine spooked markets and turbocharged prices. the oil market reacts much like the stock market, and unfortunately, drivers are paying for that at the gas pump. high priced fuel makes the price of everything transported by road c and air more expensive driving up inflation even

further. the average price of gasoline in the u. s. is hovering at about $4.00 a gallon. that's 3.7 leaders. california is the state with the highest gasoline prices, $5.31 on average, but in some places, like here in beverly hills, it costs a lot more than that. the u. s. and other governments are trying to cushion the blow by releasing fuel from strategic reserves. we don't know how long this is going to last, but we are very focused on right now, alleviating pain at the pump. to the extent we can't, prices will likely remain high for the foreseeable future. the u. s. energy information agency says oil will stay above $100.00 a barrel for the rest of the year at $4.00 a gallon. is that a point where people can't take it anymore? it still remains to be seen, but inevitably, we think we might see some behavioral change belt tightening is already one of

brittany anderson's plans is definitely going to factor in how i am budgeting for my rent and my groceries paying off my debts. i was not anticipating this big of a hit, a hit 2 americans pocket books from a war half a world away. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, the u. s. congress is approved $13600000000.00 in emergency humanitarian and military aid for ukraine. that amount is more than double what the biden administration initially requested for in part of a mass of $1.00 trillion dollars domestic spending package that will now be sent to president biden for his signature patty calhane. with more on that the u. s. senate has now followed the u. s. house and has approved spending $13600000000.00 on aid to ukraine. that is quite a bit more than just what the president was even asking for just a couple of weeks ago. now, the money's going to be evenly split between humanitarian assistance and military

assistance on the humanitarian front. it'll go to help refugees to provide food and health care on the military front. 3000000000 of that is going to go to the u. s. u . s. european command, that is the command that takes the lead in nato, so that money could be used to bring an additional troops to stockpile weapons. the other 650000000 is going to be given to ukraine so that it can buy the weapons that it chooses. but then it's also given us president joe biden, $3000000000.00 he, they say he can now. so give ukraine up to $3000000000.00 worth of military equipment that the u. s. has that is quite an escalation from the amount of money they've already given. the president is expected to sign the bill. ah, little bit of, of a well news to take you through the pentagon festival says north korea has tested the new intercontinental ballistic missile system. i miss i was 1st displayed in

2020 was tested in february and march of this year. north korea says the tests are focused on developing a reconnaissance satellite. alan fishes following this story. well, clearly the united states is concerned if north korea was developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. because that would do exactly what it says on the 10, which means that american cities would suddenly become within target of any north korean weapons. that is why they're watching what is going on here. they've increased surveillance in the yellow sea area. they're also telling their closest allies 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 icbm. 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 cold 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 is the u. s. going to do about, apart from gather together, international support roller 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. people in argentina have protested against their government's decision to borrow $45000000000.00 from the international monetary fund. demonstrated bern, tires, hold stones and smashed windows outside the congress building. as politicians debated the i'm if deal the low house is expected to approve it on friday,

protesters believe loans in the i'm if will only worsen the debt crisis. and finally, chili, where the president elect gabrielle bowditch, will soon be sworn in to become chillers youngest leader. and he's selling more presidents as he comes to power. the latin america editor lucio newman reports now from santiago. oh, good deal, but each is no ordinary precedent. at 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, a social the color. yeah. um, i think g m i, 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 it 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 in formal 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, straight 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 correlation migrants that settled here at little bodies. his 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, the rectal yes, but his father is less daunted as a weight of his sons responsibility. so look at me, look in and look back. will kaycie the road is full of obstacles, and we hope that the education and the environment that we gave him will help overcome those obstacles. recent years, but each has matured from what many saw as a left when radical to what in scandinavia or french would be considered a progressive. more concerned about forging consensus and confrontation audits 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. roger patricia for none dish, no sport each well. in gunner unable cause,

he incarnates an air of transformations of a new world order that is emerging, even though he leads the generation that takes office without experience and gotten plenty to put 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? ah, i'm come all santa marie. these are the headlines residents in the ukrainian port city of mario, paul, se, russian force as a once again bombarding them a day after attacking a maternity hospital in the area. moscow says the facility has been used by fi, does not patients. the attack killed at least 3 people and injured at least 17 others garad dvd when yet we have no gas would be f reason we have no food.
