that 5 people have been injured including a child. now the governor of vers upper richer, which is south of here, which is, which is a city, a 1st port of call for many of those people fleeing the fighting unmarried pole itself. the government there has had one child has been seriously injured and they've been blaming russian heavy artillery. so the siege and mario poll continues, we understand that the are russian tanks on the street, but they don't have full control of the city ukrainian military and the ukraine and force they're still in control of that. but the siege has gone on for a while. there have been attempts to get a den and, but there's also allegations now against the russians that they are targeting civilian infrastructure that they are targeting convoys. now we were in that richer yesterday are meeting people that had arrived. they were tired and exhausted, and they were coming to a center where they were given vital supplies. but we also spoke to a bus driver that was traveling to some of these areas to get people liked. now

what he told us is that they have to routinely stop because this are to refile, this shelling taking place and sometimes it said that the convoys have been targeted. so currently as it stands, there were 10021200 people in that theatre, according to the local authority in mary polls when it was attacked. thank you for the update. i saw big line for us there in denise pro, with the latest on the fighting in eastern ukraine. well, as it continues to fighting, while ukraine's president has issued a desperate plea to the u. s. congress telling them we need you right now, floating me as lensky received a standing ovation before he delivered his virtual speech. he again called on the us and it's nato ally, same both a no fly zone over ukraine. a demand washington continues to reject. friends, americans in your great history, you have pages that allow you to understand ukrainians. now we need you right now. remember, pearl harbor that terrible morning of december 7th. 1941. when your skies turned

black from planes attacking you, just remember it. remember september, the 11th that terrible day in 2001 when evil tried to turn your cities into battlefields, innocent people were attacked from the air, no unexpected, and you could not stop at our country is experiencing the same every day, every night for 3 weeks now responding to president landscape speech, the u. s. leader has announced a new package of security assistance to ukraine. washington will provide a further $800000000.00 worth of military hardware. now once again, using my presidential authority to actively activate additional security assistance to continue to help you crime, fend off rushes, assault, additional $800000000.00 of assistance that brings a total of new us security assistance ukraine to $1000000000.00 just this week. these are the lar, these are direct transfers of equipment from our department of defense to the ukraine military, help them as they fight against this invasion,

lifetime white house correspondent, kimberly how kit, kimberly it's still, you know, for a no fly zone over ukraine, but present binding has announced new security assistance that's right, the u. s. president detailed what that 800000000 would look like in terms of that new security assistance. as the president pointed out, a total of more than 1000000000 in just the last week. and we should point out a total of $2000000000.00 since the start of the biden administration. and in this last week, in addition, the u. s. congress, putting together its own package that the u. s. president signed into law of some, 13000000000 and both security and humanitarian aid for ukraine. now in terms of the package just announced it includes $800.00 anti aircraft systems that $9000.00 to anti armor systems as well as $7000.00 small arms drones and even $20000000.00

rounds of ammunition. c we also know that the u. s. president made a commitment to help ukraine require long range anti defense, this anti air defense systems as well. so this is pretty significant, but as you point out what this doesn't include is something that the, the ukrainian leader wanted badly and that was the creation of a no fly zone. and also potentially the transfer of soviet era fighter jets from poland. the could be used to help counter the russian jets that continue to fly over ukraine. kimberly, thank you for that. kimberly hawkins life in a washington there. let's bring you some of the days. other developments now from ukraine. he is as a bus driver report from live if ah, 3 weeks of war, of show of cities besieged ukrainian defences have slowed the pace of the russian advance. but battle lines continue to move to new areas. the head of the regional

administration says civilian targets in san diego were reportedly hit overnight. the war following the path of more than 3000 evacuees who fled there from the besieged city of mariel, russian seas far violation, ukraine's deputy prime minister says, are stopping civilians from using humanitarian corridors and getting the safety. when the tora pump is hopefully yesterday they captured the emergency hospital and took 400 people hostage, medics and mary poll the shooting from inside the hospital. it is a threat for movement of people dante monetary and corridors. we've sent a request to the red cross. under these conditions, we cannot bring people out safely. ukrainian drawn strikes continue to exact a heavy price on russian forces. more russian hardware lies abandoned, following fierce fighting in neighbourhood around keith, the capital observing a 34 hour curfew to prepare for an expected russian assault. he will use me in the

space today is a special and dangerous moment. my movement through the city is prohibited without special passes. you can only go out to reach shelter. the curfew will apply until 7 am on march 17th. therefore, i ask all keep residents to prepare for the fact that they will have to be at home for 2 days, or in case of an alarm, and a shelter. diplomacy remains the only way to end this war says ukraine's liter silver's legal squad and it is important. it is difficult but important because any war ends in an agreement, meetings continue. as i am told that positions in the negotiations and more realistic. however, it still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's entrapment. the west of the country has avoided the worst of the violence, but the largest single missile attack so far happened at a military training camp in yahoo, or if only about an hour's drive away from here, resident say that unless there is a ceasefire, it's not a matter of if, but when the fighting makes its way here. then basra b o g 0,

livia. the world health organization is warning. ukraine's health system is on the verge of collapse. it says world beaters must do everything they can to ensure ukrainians, keep access to basic health care. how. how can we put emergency medical teams on the ground if the very facilities that they may want to go and support are going to be attacked and going to be bombed and going to, going to suffer catastrophic damage. we're in it, we did, this crisis is reaching a point where the the health system in ukraine is teetering on the brink and is doing exceptionally well. it needs to be supported. it needs to be short up. it needs to be given the basic tools to save lives. the world's top court has ordered russia to immediately seize its military action in ukraine and its ruling. the international court of justice warned both sides not to aggravate the dispute. the russian federation must pending the final decision in the case suspend the

military operations set commenced on 24 february 2022 in the territory of ukraine. in addition to the specific measures, it has decided to order the court games is necessary to indicate an additional measure directed at both parties and aimed at ensuring the non aggravation of the dispute. that's not go live to you. here is a ron con, who's in ukraine's capital. keith tell us 1st run the reaction in ukraine to this decision by the i c j. well, the reaction was swift and it was absolute and it came from the very top. they actually came from a president vladimir zalinski, who said ukraine gained victory in the case against russia in the i, c j. he also went on to say that the russia must comply with i c j order to stop the invasion. now b into the so called of justice order is useful in some ways particular when it

comes to investigations in the future, anything to do with war crimes, et cetera, et cetera. but in the immediate future, it's not going to make that much difference to either russia or ukraine or the fighting will still continue. now, the only way the i c j can enforce this on either side is to go to the united nations security council. guess who has a c on the united nations security council? it's russia not only does right have a seat bills, i has veto power as well. so it's seen as a nother step in the politics of what's going on at the moment, but not really a step that either side is going to take seriously or listened to. but it is seen as a victory for ukraine, or particularly by of laudermill zalinski. and as the fighting continues him ran, it would appear. there's been some progress in the latest round of talks between the 2 sides. well absolutely, and anecdotally,

speaking normally about this time of night, we do hear that the talks have come to an end is normally a tweet from the presidential advise of our to ukraine, who says he had the talks come to and we are going to go into another day of talks that hasn't happened or maybe the talks are still continue. the fact that they're in a 3rd day is actually optimistic. but there is a disconnect to at least publicly between what the ukrainians one on what the russians, one, the russians are very much big picture. they're talking about sanctions that or by demilitarization. they're talking about the fact that they will let ukraine have a navy and an army, but they wouldn't allow them to have offensive weapons that might be able to threaten russia. ah, in response to that sir, the ukranian president has said, we're taking a look at our potential membership of native apps. we won't join nato, but for ordinary ukrainians. and for a lot of our politicians, it is very small scale stuff that they want. they want an immediate end to the war

. they want russia to stop occupying the territory. they want them to withdraw completely to their borders. so it's, it seems to me that or you have rush on the one side who's looking at big picture and the future. but you've got the ukrainians who are going well, we're still under fight. we're still under fire. him there in that one person said in the cloud though, the sky is falling on our heads, we need actually for something immediate and to happen. so there's a slight disconnect there, but what we're hearing is that the talks have got into the subcommittee phase. and what that means is there are groups of people looking at specific issues and getting down to the nitty gritty. so maybe we may well hear something in the next 24 hours. thank you for that update and man can live in keith the nato secretary general again. sultan barrick says the alliance is looking to substantially bolster forces on its east and flag, but has reiterated that troops will not be sent to ukraine. nato defense ministers have been holding tanks in brussels, sa diplomatic editor,

james spaces there. nato defense ministers her directly from their ukrainian counterpart who attended the meeting virtually about the destruction taking place on the ground. nato countries had been providing support in terms of weapons and training to ukraine, but they're not going to get involved directly. and they're not going to impose that no fly zone that the ukrainian government wants so much. they've also been bolstering those nato nations that are closest to russia, with many more extra troops than now trying to make those deployments more permanent. nato will not tolerate any attack on allied sovereignty or territorial integrity. we have all of the activated our defense vance, to shield the alliance increase or redness and the ploy tubes, oh, from both sides of the atlantic. there are now hundreds of thousands of

forces at whiten alert. across the alarms, 100000 us troops in europe and around 40000 troops on the direct natal command, mostly in the eastern part of the alliance. the defense ministers meeting comes just 8 days before a summit of all the nato leaders here in brussels. military exercises involving almost 40000 meter soldiers are underway in no way. they're taking part in 2 different operations until the end of the month. the so called called response drills, test their ability to deploy in arctic conditions. ne vanka has more from norway's capital osler. these are long plans, military exercises, but they take a whole new residence because of the invasion of ukraine. they are 2 operations running back to back consecutively. the 1st operation, brilliant jump,

involving several 1000 troops from france, italy, spain, and poland, including specialists from france, experts in how to deal with the aftermath of chemical biological and nuclear attacks operation. brilliant jump runs into one of the biggest nato exercises in 30 years, operation cold response, bringing 35000 troops from 28 countries together. here in norway. this is all about different armies from across nato's 30 member states. being able to work very quickly together to face off any potential threat is about working in extreme cold weather conditions. no way of course being a perfect place to practice these skills. also, clearly is about sending a firm message to the kremlin that the alliance is a pad to stand strong prepared to continue bolstering it's eastern flank. russia had been asked to attend these exercises as an observer, under the auspices of the

o, i. c, the organization for security and cooperation in europe. they declined in january and have been less forthcoming as you can imagine, since the invasion saying if there's anything that they want to know about nato and its capabilities. the happy to work that out themselves. as a side note, they have been some reports and i don't know which in media about some military personnel in the far north of the country being approached by people asking to buy their military passes. we've had confirmed to us by the norwegian army that an investigation is now under way about concerns of possible espionage or even sabotage. the relationship between russia and nato is one dog by mutual distrust and suspicion. nato views any russian aggression as a reason to bolster its defences in eastern europe. russia views any advance these words into its former 3 or of influence as a sign of western aggression underpinning vladimir putin's reasons for invading ukraine. it is a relationship,

but only appears to be going from bad to worse. ah, best turn to other world news now and tie one's army has carried out military drills while tension remains high with china. the exercises assimilated the interception of enemy forces on an, on an island of china's coast, victoria gate and b has he detests taiwanese soldiers. my ro, tillery shells at a target representing advancing enemy forces. the democratically self ruled island is conducting military exercises to prepare for a potential assault by chinese forces. they follow repeated incursions by chinese warplanes into the islands air defense zone, taiwanese leaders, sy, in gwen seen here watching army reservist train last week says the war in ukraine proves ty, one needs to be prepared to resist threats from china. in

a sign of increasing tensions between the 2 countries, reservists have been mobilized for 14 days this year, rather than the usual 7. that is like what i'm a junior does is i think the training is very solid. we are now familiar with the nearby defensive terrain and also places we can use to fund off an attack. i think this 14 day reserves call up is very useful. china considers tiwana breakaway province and has previously threatened to seize the island by force. the lead ship in bay jing has been angered by recent reports. if taiwan finalizing its latest dale to buy military equipment from the united states or men, ginger fam, date may whitehall. we firmly press the sale of arms by us to taiwan. we oppose any official exchanges. between the u. s. anti on the democratic progressive party authorities have repeatedly used the harden money of taiwan taxpayers. to buy u. s. arms in an attempt to seek independence by force,

but they will not succeed in ty, once capital taipei, they've been demonstrating in support of ukraine's resistance to the russian invasion. and 4000 boxes of medicine, food and blankets have been collected for ukrainian refugees. oh no, it's unbelievable. this is happening. we should do what we can to help. the children are innocent. their lives have been turned upside down. so suddenly, as a parent, i feel so heartbroken. i want to help. oh, taiwan regularly holds drills to prepare for a potential chinese invasion as the war in ukraine. rage is own 23000000 taiwanese are hoping the status quo where they are, will be maintained, victoria, gate, and be al jazeera, a magnitude of 7.3 earthquake has struck off the coast of eastern japan. but these tanami advisory for the ne aggie and trouble, she may regions, is a low risk,

one to 1000000 homes on without power. the quake should launch parts of eastern japan, including tokyo. the government says it's assessing the damage there. no immediate reports of casualties. earlier we spoke to michael pan, the president of the shingles. so news agency in tokyo, he says a nuclear plants have been sped. any significant damage. well, as for the tsunami warning, it doesn't seem to have been a very large synonymy. the warning was for a one meter to nami, and it would have already have hit the coast by now since the earthquake was quite some time ago. but so the we are starting to get the 1st sort of reports of damage . so for example, we have learned that she consent bullet train as derailed. however, apparently there may not have been anybody injured in that derailment. we're also learning that there are actually about some people who are visiting the hospital and she prefecture, so there do seem to be at least some, some kinds of,

of casualties and about, well, over 2000000 homes and building some lost power. so blackouts have been quite frequent to throughout, throughout the east coast of japan. here since the earthquake already the government and the operators of the nuclear plants are, they're all said that there's nothing unusual about the plants. they said that basically everything is operating normally. and so they've, our, their report has come in that, that there's been no significant damage or, or unusual situation at the nuclear power plants to bring iranians are on their way back to the u. k. from iran after years in detention, one of them not means recovery. ratcliffe took this photo on the flight home. she was convicted in 2016 of plotting to overthrow iran government, but has always denied the allegations. her husband said they're both feeling, you know, must really it's been

a long time and we were just saying last night that it was off. this is money rid of investment. well i don't, i don't know for sure. i think replacer. i'm no, no, no. pretty sure she's coming home. so she got picked up this morning at 11 o'clock to run home. which reason why the revenue should go up points. she wasn't really able to speak. she had a phone with her so she can send messages. so i knew where she was a different voice, so we know how to euphoric. just with, with that britain has confirmed it settled, $8530000000.00 debt to iran, before the 2 nationals were freed. as gary ratcliffe's family believes she was held as leverage. iran's last shot ordered 1500 british build tanks and other armored vehicles in the 1900 seventy's iran paid in advance. but britain cancel the

contract after the union revolution in 1979. british lawmakers. lawyers rather argued the debt couldn't be claimed by yvonne's new leaders because a deal was done with the shop. but in 2009, according to hague, ruled in yvonne's favor and ordered great britain to pay up. iran says wiley did receive the money a few days ago. it was no link between the payment and it's gary rhetorics. ratcliffe's release. sonya gag has moved to london. well, we know that this was a maids also in conjunction. it would seem with a payment of a debt that the u. k owed to iran, it goes back to the 900 seventies. when the then shaw other on who was empower, then ordered some 1500 chieftain tanks from the u. k. and all the military equipment now 185 of those tanks were delivered. but then of course the revolution happened. there was a change of government and then the u. k said that it could not possibly deliver

the rest of that. so this has been hanging over between the 2 countries as well. and there was a court case back in the 2009 at the court of arbitration in, in the netherlands, that rules that iran should have the funds directly back to them. and the u. k. has said that the reason why i have not been able to do so for all this time is because it has have to abide by the laws of the sanctions under which iran is on the sanctions from the west and from western countries. still ahead on the news our, the scramble for additional oil, the u. k. prime minister channels to the u. e. n. saudi arabia, despite concerns about rights abuses in saudi. and what lies beneath will show you how an ancient undergone city could reveal what happened in yvonne 1500 years ago in support at korea high school for berkeley,

medstar tyree irving general have the highlights. ms. foreman's coming. ah, well i didn't started hurling down the gulf, so this wind here which is sort of with this line of clear that finger the cold front attempt, they're coming down. so what was warm and all this was about 10 degrees above average. only 24 hours goes now as a drop down to below average the warm squeezed out into omar. that's what happens when winter still exists, as it does in turkey, in the eastern med because eastern europe is too cold. and that's where this wind is coming from. is brings and snow to turkey, a fish or snow shells or rain showers on the coast, depending on how high above sea level you are. so if a northern syria snow, i think this of course is all a cold wind and the dust,

which is the brown here. the sand in the air is spread out over the empty quarter of sudden saudi. the wind keeps blowing during friday. the snow, if anything gets worse in turkey and the temperature anchors are dropped to to, we'll see. rain shall spreading further. science will event nazi the end winter just yet. however, the line is more or less straight through here to rouse, looking better now. took marston is, is dry, but in afghan, maybe northern pakistan, the still rain or snow showers in southern africa, the rain's, been very active recently. any carries on the same vein in botswana, broadway, and the middle of mozambique. ah, the 10s of thousands of children were born into or lived under the icicle regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps either orphans all with a widowed mothers rejected by their own communities chicken. you're saying so

ah, welcome back. a reminder of our main stories on this news, our, the war and ukraine, ukraine, which is saying that russia has it a convoy of vehicles full of people trying to flee the receive city of mary, a bowl and or theater, where hundreds where sheltering in mary, a pole has been bombed, according to the local council, russia has denied being behind the attack. us present, joe biden has announced an additional $800000000.00 in military aid for ukraine, but he stopped short of agreeing to a no fly zone. we should ukrainian leader had again requested during a virtual address to the west congress. and the world's top court has ordered russia to seize its military action in ukraine immediately. and is truly mean channel court of justice warned both sides not to aggravate the dispute. here now is al jazeera zane, mister harvey whittemore,

on the days developments in ukraine. ah, 3 weeks of war, of shelling of cities besieged and more shocking reports of attacks which have confirmed could amount to war crimes. 10 people queuing for bread and chinese. north of the capital give killed in an alleged russian attack. in the southern city of mich ally of the cost of conflict counted in corpses. the brutality of this war is moving faster than peace talks. a father waits to collect the body of his 37 year old son who leaves behind 2 children of his own. we didn't really, really, we were when he was so friendly. he had a lot of friends and got on well, everyone. if someone needed help, he never refuse, and he always wanted full capacity. foreign minister survey lab ross as russia is open to peace, but it seems will keep waging war to achieve it yourself. michelle, in our mission,

aims to defend the people in don't bass region from the regime in key if you aims to demilitarize and do not to find the region. so all ethnic groups, any grain can live in peace, ukrainian defenses have slowed the pace of the russian advance. but battle lines continue to move to new areas. the head of the regional administration says civilian targets ins operator were hit overnight. the war following the path of more than 3000 evacuees who fled there from the besieged city of murray. awful. russian troops reportedly using heavy artillery, honestly, 1000000000 conway on that route, wounding 5, including a child in serious condition, rush and see spar violations. ukraine's deputy prime minister says are stopping civilians from using humanitarian corridors and getting to safety. when the pump is hopefully yesterday they captured the emergency hospital and took 400 people hostage, medics and mary poll. they're shooting from inside the hospital. it is a threat for movement of people dante, monetary and corridors. we've sent

a request to the red cross. under these conditions, we cannot bring people out safely. ukrainian drone strikes continue to exact a heavy price on russian forces. more russian hardware lies abandoned, following fierce fighting in neighborhoods around keefe, the capital observing a 35 hour curfew to prepare for an expected russian assault. she already scrubbed me in the booth space to day is a special and dangerous moment. my movement through the city is prohibited without special passes. you can only go out to reach a shelter the curfew will apply until 7 am on march 17th. therefore, i ask all keep residents to prepare for the fact that they will have to be at home for 2 days, or in case of an alarm, and a shelter. diplomacy remains. the only way to end this war says ukraine's liter seller's little squad nor oliver's it is important. it is difficult but important because any war ends in an agreement, meetings continue. as i am told the positions in the negotiations and more

realistic. however, there still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's interests. the west of the country has avoided the worst of the violence, but the largest single missile attack so far happened at a military training camp in yavari, if only about an hour's drive away from here. resident say that unless there is a ceasefire, it's not a matter of if but when the fighting makes its way. here. zane basra, the old 0 live britons prime minister, is visiting gulf countries, helping to convince them to boast. oil production to keep petrol prices down. first off for boys, johnson was abu dhabi, the capital of the night, jav emery's, he's now in saudi arabia, and he's been criticized for visiting saudi arabia after $81.00 man would be headed in the largest known mass execution in the kingdoms history on saturday, johnson says the u. k. needs to strength and middle east ties after russia invasion of ukraine. if you look at what futons doing in ukraine it's,

it's causing global uncertainty and a spike in the price of, of oil or that feeds through to the full courts in, in the u. k. everybody can see the effect of the increase in, in gas prices. that's coming through and we got to make sure that we're are, we're prepared, we're taking steps to, to mitigate that, or to help people with the cost of living as so next week we're gonna be selling out the, or the energy strategy for, or for the u. k, massive o jump forward on renewables, a more nuclear are using our own hydrocarbons or more effectively. also look what we can do to source hydrocarbons from places other than russia. we got to get off a russian hydrocarbons. while brittany is among countries pressuring oil producers in the goals to boost production and reduce prices. major opec, producer, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates have spare capacity to pump more, but have reveals no plans to do so. iran could also help if nuclear deal talk so

successful and sanctions lifted. iran produces 2500000 barrels of crude every day as just more than half of his output in 2016. so it has the perfect potential to increase supply. and venezuela has huge reserves, but even if you are sanctions were lifted. years of mismanagement and corruption have cassi industry to crash, restoring out but quickly enough to lower global prices is unlikely. well, let speak to alex schindler about this is a geopolitical oil analyst on europe. russia in the middle east, and the president of energy intelligence is joining us from london. alex, very good. have you with us on al jazeera, i so the americans have so far failed to convince the saudis enemy righties to boost oil production. well prime minister boys johnson succeed where prison by miss failed. he think it's a great question. sorry. i mean, it's no surprise, the prime minister decided to go to the and saudi arabia, asked them for extra supplies because they're really the only countries in the pack

in the bus allies see acid extra barrels i expect. and what we're hearing is we'll probably get a very similar response to that. the americans are not ready at this moment to add additional barrels above and beyond what they've already committed this market. they're going to take a very steady and careful approach to this market is obviously very volatile and moving around quite rapidly. and the more in ukraine sent me seems, have changed energy. geo politics. do you think we're likely to see sanctions against iran lifted and, and iranian oil coming back on the market? and how would the saudis react to that? you think? well, what we've been hearing is. ready deals and very close, i think that's been pretty well publicized that there was a hiccup. and last week, a rush request to make sure that russia any wrong trade in the post deal environment. now hurdle seems to be clear. so what we understand is there are not
