a military training centered near yavari in the far west, killed dozens, soldiers, and cadets. but russia claims were foreign trained fighters preparing to enter the war. just a few months ago, joint military exercises took place here. ukrainian troops alongside allies from 14 countries. yet now they're having to fight and die in this war. largely alone. scores more were injured in the most devastating single attack so far and with worrying implications for supply routes, delivering humanitarian and military aid, the war has now come to western ukraine and with it a sense that perhaps nowhere in this country is safe. but of largest significance is the fact that not just the countries main supply routes on vulnerable, not just the main avenues of escape. hundreds of thousands of refugees have now

become vulnerable, but the fact that the war has now come within 20 kilometers, also of a nato border in the river. on sunday morning, anna woke to the sound of explosions. sounds good. so she said someone was breaking into the house, we went to the site and the whole sky was threat. we met at the fuel stop the pregnant daughter, the niece and her grandchild in the car, making a dash for the polish border. normal stuff, or just at home, my sick fossit, a husband and a brother in law stayed behind. when you said i would speak up or myself and fight, but we have to safe with children. and once again, calls for nato to intervene to enforce a no fly zone over ukraine. like rockets have fallen, kilometers from the border with europe tomorrow, then a full 10 kilometers on the other side in poland, where our wives and children are now. i call on europe, save yourselves, save us,

because tomorrow it will be too late. but at night continues to have no appetite to confront russia directly as the war grinds on. it, it is like journeyed even in the north. steady nerves required here to remove an unwelcome delivery through someone's front window civilians. those brave all desperate enough to attempt to escape, continue to leave areas close to keep like her pin, where an american journalist was killed when he and a colleague were fired on by russian forces. and no respite yet again for mario paul. satellite images shows, swathes of destruction in the southern city besieged for 2 weeks. the life being strangled out of it, an aide convoy once again prevented from entering. there is one constant,

the inexhaustible morale boosting russia, defying presence of a comedian who once played the role of president on tv. now handing out medals and giving the performance of his life. no, joan, a whole al jazeera yavari on a more than 2000 civilians have now been killed in ukraine's besieged port city of mary jo paul. according to the city council, many of them are being buried in mass. grace council says the last reserves of food and water are running out. as russian forces are blockading, shelling and bombing, the city. grace, deputy prime minister says an aide convoy has not been able to reach mary you, paul, where more than 400000 people are trapped. rushes defense ministry says its forces of delta blow to foreign fighters coming to join the war. your rooms are open with me on the 13th of march and the salt on the military drill centers of the crane

forces was carried out in the key. every jean was preparing for the combatants to transfer them to the missouri actions on to find the russian forces. we also hit the base of the incoming for an munitions there. $184.00 combatants were killed, was an enlarged stucco for an amunition was destroyed in the strike. ukraine's foreign minister says he has spoken with us secretary of state antony blinking about further american support for ukraine with the biden administration under pressure to do more. its officials took to the sunday political shows to lay out their next steps back to go high and reports. the attack in the ukrainian base will likely not slow the slow a ford military equipment being sent by the u. s. and others. the pentagon has repeatedly said it has several routes in and officials insist aide continues to make its way and daily. meanwhile, the ukrainian foreign minister went on american television to ask for more. what we are asking is simple thing. we say our ukraine,

and we will do the rest us all the weapons necessary and we will fight for our land are out. he was specifically asking for fighter jets, which the u. s. has ruled out for now. senior defense officials tell us that right now, part of the problem is that russia has the ability to shoot down fighter jets pretty much over all of ukraine's airspace. so they are looking at providing ukraine more sophisticated missile systems than they have thus far in hopes of keeping the airspace contested. another big concern for us officials fear that russia could use chemical weapons. but the pentagon spokesman made an important point on sunday morning. it is of the russian play book that, that which they accuse you of their planning to do. now. again, we haven't seen anything indic. it did indicate some sort of eminence chemical, chemical, biological tack right now, but we're watching this very, very closely. on monday, the national security advisor, jake sullivan, will be meeting china's top diplomat in rome. he gave

a preview of what he'll have to say. we have made it clear to not just asian, but every country in the world that if they think that they can basically bail russia out, they can give russia work around to the sanctions that we've imposed. they should have another thing coming because we will ensure that neither china, nor anyone else can compensate russia for these losses. a continued push to isolate russia, heard its economy an arm ukraine, in hopes it is eventually enough to change russian president vladimir putin plans and possibly put an end to the daily destruction in ukraine. gall haine, al jazeera washington. while fisher georgia live now from washington. now we heard from b a u. s. national security adviser there, and patsy's report, and there is this a newspaper report. now the same russia has asked china for military help in

ukraine is what more, what we want to know about that. for just in the last few hours, the chinese ambassador to washington, his says that he's never heard of such an idea that the chinese intention is to stop a tense situation in ukraine getting out of control. now that may well be one of the things that jake sullivan approaches with chinese diplomats when they meet in room. on monday, at this meeting has been planned for some time. it evolved out of the summit that was held between president by the president she back in november. there was always the intention to have several of these meetings. it comes, of course, against the backdrop of ukraine. and as you've heard, jake sullivan's intention is to express in the strongest possible terms that china should not seek to gain a strategic advantage out of helping russia in all of this, what they won't see publicly, but what is clear from the biden white host is there is an element of frustration with the chinese, the believe that while the world has condemned what has happened,

china while calling for a cease fire hasn't been as strong as the americans and other members of the international community would like. and that in some way is giving support to vladimir putin so they would like the chinese to be a lot stronger. as i say, this meeting has been planned for some time. we're not expecting anything, anything significant to come from it. but it's important that it's happening now and certainly gives both sides the chance 1st of all, to discuss what's going on in ukraine, and to give the american say, the chance to express that what they see as their frustration at the chinese inability to be openly are more critical of letting me put allen, thanks their own. fisher in washington force now still ahead on al jazeera. when we come back, colombians had to the polls to chew senators in a vote that is expected to send the town for upcoming presidential elections. and our report from north east india,

when boss swain's forest are under threatened from farming and illegal logging. ah now winters definitely not left. the us or canada. the latest storm system has been running out through the east coast. and that is what happened over the weekend, but i think it's monday things look red and warm again. the rockies picked out in this color because they are quite high. but there is still cold air round and it is still leaking back in again. so while she still got wintery weather coming into the higher ground of british columbia and washington, the cold does league science again and camp against this warm draft of human day. now, you know what happens when these 2 come together? this is why you have severe as to what i did in spring. this might turn into that. that doesn't look like it's immediately dangerous. well, it's how me get to choose,

you know, be the big thunderstorm. certainly. but nothing looks too dangerous. it's rain. maybe it's the big problem we're running into what is currently rather wet north in florida, temperature wise, toronto's back up to plus $714.00 in new york, dropping south significant shout allow you to show themselves in the bahamas cuba hispaniola and back in central america. again, bit west of them we saw last week. nothing to out of the ordinary in south america, once again, it's looking quite wet and the sas is brazil was so pale. i like to be particularly wet the next 2 days with frank assessments for china will banner from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs focused on needs. i'm not protest from that statement. critical debate, why group would claims that native constitutes an interest and chill threat to

russia, but it's precisely his actions that's created this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah ah. again, you're watching edge 0 reminder of our top stories. russian missiles have hit a ukrainian military training base in your body. 20 kilometers colon russia claims to have killed $180.00 foreign fighters at the base. regional governor says 35 people were killed. 12000 civilians have now been killed in ukraine's besieged for

city of mighty. you pull us according to the city council. over 400000 people are trapped in the city. and officials say the last reserves of food and water are running out said gate, but to help ease the deputy minister of justice of ukraine. he says moscow will need to change its demands if diplomatic efforts to end the war have any chance of success. i'm not that optimistic of all the talks because i think that at this point of time, positions are quite opposite and russia will have to change their position a lot to approach what is acceptable to ukrainians. and it's not only about what, what the negotiators will do is something that you can in people, as a community, as, as all of us will have to accept. and therefore, as of now, i don't think anyone in new train would, are, except the annexation of crimea by russia, all the independence of the so called republics of done escal, hans. and therefore,

i can hardly see how we can demand can he can be met, unless he's ready to change them as fighting intensified on sunday. there was for the 1st time, a sign of progress in talk between russian and ukrainian negotiators in my con has more on that from keith on sunday. ah, the ukrainian president's adviser issued a statement saying that he thought progress could be made in talks. and he said that the russian side had become more constructive. you also can said that we will not concede in principle on any of our, for a positions. russia now understands this and is not russia is now beginning to talk constructively. now, as that statement came out, there was a statement from the russian side as well saying that talked to the ukraine, had made significant progress. and it was possible that the delegations could release a joint statement soon. well,

that was met with skepticism here and here certainly amongst the people i spoke to . a lot of people here are hunkering down they loading up on food and water. they're preparing for the worst. they are hoping for the best, but they are preparing for the worst. they feel that this idea of the, of a joint statement is very vague. they don't know what that means. and also a lot of our political experts that we've been speaking to throughout the day, suggest that this may well be the beginning of the end of the peace talks. but it may not be the beginning of the end of the war. that is to say that the talking is still going on, but it may be that there is still a lot of talking still to do. a russian police have arrested more than 200 people during anti war protests across dozens of cities. several were detained in moscow when a rally was quickly broken up by police jailed kremlin critic, alexey navarro. ne, called for more calls for the demonstrations please. we're also quick to act on the

streets of st. petersburg. russian president vladimir putin as announced penalties of up to 15 years in prison for protesting against the war in ukraine. last week, at least 5000 people were arrested at 69, protests nationwide. bernard smith is in moscow with more on those demonstrations to stretch really, to coal, even protest. it's very, very difficult for people to go out onto the streets and protest. any hint of somebody trying to go out or looking like a protest. i know very often violently dragged away by the police. the people in the hive is the best, the journalists by law, they have to wear those of, they are on one side and the police are dragging away people who might look like they are a protest of the protest. don't really get going and wanted them to be a woman just holding up a black blank piece of paper was taken away by the police,

an indication of how they came to crack down. anything that looks like a protest and one of the social media channels you often see, protest, pictures appearing is instagram. it will be blocked from midnight tonight in russia . specifically because of spreading protest pictures because of a decision taken by it to comes parent company matter who relax. hate speech rules on what uses in ukraine can say about russia's war in ukraine, rough invasion of ukraine, and because of the russian, all authorities have said that they won't prosecute. won't instagram, mester, the parent company, facebook declaring an extremist organisation. and as part of that instagram blocked $18000000.00 instrument and uses in russia like the rest of the world, it is ubiquitous. it has its fair share of influences who make a living on instagram. something like that being blocked will be really noticed

here, there are other channels. of course. in other world news, iran has claimed responsibility for a barrage of ballistic missiles. struck near the u. s. consulate in the northern iraqi city of the bill. iranian state tv reporting the attacks were aimed what it called secret israeli bases and said they were in retaliation for an ass, so i can syria the kill 2 of its revolutionary god. members. the us official says there was no impact of the consulate which is unoccupied. a satellite channel near the u. s. consulate went on in, shortly after the attack, showing shattered glass debris on the studio floor of sullivan job aid has the latest from bank that this is the 1st time that we're hearing of an attack using ballistic missiles into or out by from iran. the gc has to be in responsibility, but they're not explicitly said why the hard thing that is in response to evil deed by israel. and it's if it doesn't stop our warning of more attack and deadly

attacks. what we know so far from official who can spoken to us on the condition of anonymity is that the missiles had around midnight iraqi time on around this new constant building, which is going to be one of the largest building of the u. s. department in the region, there was no material damage. there was some damage to nearby buildings including the, this television network, the private television, the k 24. but so far there have been no casualties, and an investigation has been ordered and it has been a plethora of of reaction after this. we heard from the prime minister of the semi autonomous goodish region misrepresenting calling it a terrorist attack and saying this can be there can be no pretext to attacking iraqi sovereignty. and dozens of people have been injured during violent clashes between police and protest. as on the french island of corsica, demonstrations of the taking place for days after prominent nationalist figure was

attacked in prison. yvonne colona is in a coma after being strangled and protest as hold the government responsible in prison for murdering a politician in 1998 pose of now closed in columbia's legislative elections. $39000000.00 people were eligible to cost balance and sundays contest the result. expected to set the tone for presidential elections just 2 months away now and sandra yeti joins us live now from burger. tar so our solder has voting gone. and what are the expectations that yes, i'm the poles of clothes. now little over 2 hours ago. the 1st numbers are starting to roll in, and indeed they seem to confirm what the expectation was. that the angered many colombians feel towards the traditional parties and politicians,

the discontent that has played out on the streets of many cities that last years in unprecedented. that protest seems indeed to show a significant shift in political power in, in congress. and that this anger is propelling more progressive, more independent candidates into the senate and the lower house. 6 we've also see very big numbers of people voting and the primary use of the less the, the correlation more than double the number of people as voted for this primary you, when you compare it to the one on, on the right and even larger numbers when you compare it to the other primary that was a correlation of a sam theresa the candidates and the party. the clear winner here is

a little who is the front runner for the presidential elections in may. alas, the senator, a former get, the non group that operated back in the eighty's and we are seeing that not only are the numbers are very high, but also like 4 years ago, he seems to be able to have many more congressmen have part in coalition that will win seats lifelong local journalist was it to her. there is a reluctant politician. his candidacy for a seat in congress is being promoted by the young protesters who rock the city last spring and who are now looking for a change of leadership. me or my obsession, mister empowered, the youth not out a little. they have opened our eyes and said, they don't want the country to have received and little my daughters. they had us become famous in columbia for his relentless coverage of the brutal police response

to the protest. hundreds of thousands marched across the country against economic inequality, corruption, and the government's plans to raise taxes on the middle class. but nowhere was the response more violent than in cali where arms civilians openly shot at protesters along with the police go in which i checked, i saw kids losing their eyes were full that at our side. and i said enough, dear washes, i deserve to be hurt. ok, they are being criminalized architect that they had is one of many 1st time candidates endorsed by left these parties, hoping to change the balance of power in congress. long controlled by conservatives fearing their groat some politicians on the right or condemning last year's protest, calling them a gallery, yet ache over others, while more moderate still believe the protesters went too far. the services here should not be using their force to replace the police. that's a reality,

or what's also true is that the state is on capable from to protecting citizens. and what's also true is that in those circumstances, you cannot simply expect people to just stay in their beds, looking how their city is destroyed. the consequences of last year protest are still visible in this part of the city that has since been renamed, puerto races. spencer port of resistance. this, for example, as a memorial for some of the victims of the confrontations with the police, a potent thimble of the deep divisions that exist in city and this country that will face off in some this election. bold show that alternative candidates could control 45 percent of congress, most voters to port to left. this correlation called they story called pact lead by presidential candidate, gustavo pedro, who has a 15 percent advantage over the closest rival. their victory would represent a seismic shift for the 1st time,

this real possibility that candidacy the don't come from traditional liberal or political ally when i could win the presidency and control congress. and this generates turbulence, a latent political crisis between those who believe the time for change has come against others who fear it would be dangerous, leap into the dark overall, this has been mostly peaceful day of voting across most of the country. however, there have been 2 attacks on military units in rural areas in the south of the country and 2 soldiers died there. there were also a number of complaints arriving again in rural areas that have seen an increase of violence in the past months in which people said they have been tricked into by on groups and not to vote. and just a reminder that even after 5 years,

that of the signing of any static piece agreement here in columbia between the state and the biggest rebel group. then far there is still clearly the reality of political violence in some parts of the country. but again, the most significant, i think, result of the day is the possibility for a left this candidate to, to become, for the 1st time and history, the oppress, the president of columbia. we're here in front of the hotel where gustavo pitt is expected to talk to the supporters and we'll have more details as the numbers continue to, to come in and account continues. all right, thanks for that sounds good. i'm p at the live 1st there in a china is increasing. it's covered 19 restrictions after the highest surge in infections. in nearly 2 years in a city of engine 17000000 people have been placed under

a strict lockdown authorities of close schools in beijing and suspended bus services in shanghai. while in chang june, health officials have been forced to turn in exhibitions center into a temporary hospital. people have been ordered to stay home and get tested. 3 times . ecologists say a vast areas of forest in north east india are under threat that the government says the size of forest air is in states like many poor have increased in the past 2 years. findings that are disputed by conservationist. bob natal reports from the deli, joseph, gunnar. i always say his gun when he leaves home. he says he's been attacked 4 times the campaign against illegal logging. despite dangers he stop to investigate . when he sees logs, that would well have to go grab it because there's so much a legal log holla for the survey. yeah,

this area in which we are talking used to be a natural forest, but the trees have been chopped off a good word doesn't daughter of a plantation. the northeast is home to nearly a quarter of all forests in india and also some of its greatest by diversity. but changing methods of farming, natural disasters and growing populations have significantly reduced it. more antum lawyer number has been preserving this patch of land in the state of money poor. he started growing plants and his 2 decades ago. now it's a lush forest, that both of dozens of plant and animal species, every season, there was 3 or 4 while fire used to common in order destroy the whole place. so now initially the, like i used to clear politically all the land and i knew the blonde and slowly i found or other trees are, which is which used to be there is started growing. also official, see the need to balance environmental concerns with developmental needs. plantations, like these have become a popular way to do it. who are,

we are proper peers. we'll have our math reporter so we're having this part or failure. so we have to start somewhere, whatever the solution, which was not perfect, but it was better than having a pen. the government says these efforts are being off and its recent report shows forests are growing, but some experts are skeptical. what it does is a, it equates natural forest. whitland patients, not land patients could be monarch out of lung patients. ah, plantations could be rubber plant visions. it could be apple orchards, all of that. so this and it's important distinguish, there are laws and policies to protect forests in india, but many conservationists like georgia perinatal believe that little political will to enforce them. bargaining metal al jazeera new daddy. ah.
