2:10 am
doctors working there say staff are under extraordinary pressure treating the injured emma harp reports from the capitol. keith this used to be one of the main hospitals in key dealing with cove in 19 infections. it's now been re purpose to treat war casualties. this ukrainian volunteer was shot in her pain and north of keep while defending the capital from intense russian attacks. despite being shot 3 times, he wants to go back to the front lines. yeah. belongs to those of course i want to fight again. i will join the territorial defense hearing keith. as soon as i can, by your most, i went to join my friends in the fight. when they pulled me to the hospital, they told me i had some shot known in my lung, but it turned out to be a police move. does it define spirit amongst doctors, nurses of administration? so who say they already working round the clock? william whiskers key will definitely sustain all medical services. on top of that, the ukranian army and the territorial defense are keeping the enemy from entering
2:11 am
the city. we're ready to give emergency medical and rehabilitation services to all in any that are suffering from this horrible war. despite the defiance hospitals nationwide facing crisis, 43 have been attacked since the war began in the besieged city of mario pl staff and patience were taken hostage as russian soldiers use the hospital to fire when ukrainian forces similar scenes across the country of provoke condemnation. from the world health organization to attack the most vulnerable babies, children, pregnant women, and those already suffering from illness and disease and health workers, risking their own lives to save lives is an act of unconscionable cruelty. that's an incredibly strong statement from the w h o. but with the war intensifying around the capitol, many are wondering where the hospitals like this, and the ones that are left will become overwhelmed. emron can al jazeera keith,
2:12 am
a us president joe biden is refusing to back down from his harsh criticism of his russian counterpart. let me put you in calling him a thug. just a day ago the kremlin warned the white house about the consequences of one president calling the other a war criminal. speaking apprentices sheet him or who remind me that i told him he remembers every damn thing i've said to our son lock it inside. we talked about the idea he does. he does not believe about democracy can be sustained in 21st century. rosalind jordan join us live now from washington, so strong words there from the president rosalyn. but i want to ask you, 1st of all about this china a phone call, a president saying that he will speak with, with the president. she and this is more us pressure on china, not only to, to warning them not to help russia, but to get behind the diplomatic efforts to end it. that's right. the u. s. has
2:13 am
been very frustrated with china because of its attempts to be a neutral parting during the russian ukrainian war. and the u. s. says that it does not believe that any government can remain neutral in this case because of what it says is a melting number of war crimes being committed by the russian military against ukrainians. the president also was said on thursday, during a number of appearances that he does believe that the russian president vladimir putin is a war criminal and is a vicious dictator, i'm paraphrasing here. and he basically said that the u. s. is going to do whatever it can and everything it can to hold moscow accountable for its conduct in the war . yeah, we've seen, we've gone from, from war criminal the day before to, to sug,
2:14 am
and as you say, dictator, murderous dictator. today, i mean, we're seeing a real dialing up of the rhetoric here from, from the us president. what do we to make that well, essentially what the u. s. has been doing even before the invasion, the night of february 24th or the morning of february 25th. if you happened to be inside ukraine on that day. this has been the u. s. his efforts to basically show the world what it says vladimir putin and his government have been planning to do in order to try to cut no preempt any efforts by the russian government to mislead or dissuade or simply misrepresent what it is doing inside ukraine. so you can read this language coming, not just from the president, but also from the secretary of state antony blinking to basically say, look, they are capable of doing these things. we have evidence, we have intelligence suggesting that they're going to do these things. and so what
2:15 am
they are doing is putting that out into the public sphere so that people can decide for themselves whether or not it's going to happen so far. what the u. s has been saying apparently has come true, but it does not mean that the burden is still on washington to basically prove all of the allegations it's putting against moscow. but so far, the u. s. government has been sadly correct about what it says of the government of vladimir putin. it's going to do in ukraine. rosalind jordan in washington. thank you. all right, now when we come back on august 8 of protests in argentina as sentences did, made a highly controversial finance bill. ah
2:16 am
hello, the weather is looking pretty mobile now we're across much of north america. we have got some very wet weather pulling out way from the eastern seaboard, easing away from the carolinas. next weather system that's ganging up and that's gotta roll its way through more heavy showers. possibly the tornado. large hell mixed in there. and that heavy rain pushing up towards the lakes warm ahead of that cool enough. behind that and cool enough actually up towards pacific northwest where we have the bad of rain, sleet, and snow coming through western parts of canada. raw along the west coast. so pushing down across washington, oregon. good part of california are actually looking a little disturbed. and on the cooler side, as we go on through the next couple of days, central part should be largely dry. some decent wolves coming through here, let you drive some decent walls to across the caribbean. we've got some shaggy ray just easing out of mexico. pushing across the greats ran to this, but more the west sunshine and showers friday. sees a few more showers. they're able to was the eastern islands simply
2:17 am
a similar picture as we go one into sas day. but as i said, for the most part, it does look fi dry and pleasantly sunny sunshine towers to ride across central america with some lavish. i was there for costa rica, ah, ah, tens of thousands of children were born into or lived under the icicle regime and iraq and syria. now, many are in camps either orphans, all with that. we don't mothers, rejected by their own communities. she could do like people are going to welcome them after that. of course, mom and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera. ah
2:18 am
ah. and again, you're watching, i just need a reminder of off top stories rescue cruise in the ukrainian city of mother. you polls say they found survivors. after a russian asked wry kate, a theater where civilians were shelter. the united nations says dozens of health care facilities have been attacked in violation of international humanitarian law. russia's invasion of ukraine has prompted a rush by european governments to bolster their defenses. pre planned nato exercises in norway have a quite a whole new significance with the military alliance. aiming to send a clear message to moscow that it's ready for any assault on nato territory. need bach reports. in sub 0 terrain. troops from nato's
2:19 am
very high readiness joint task force, a training for the coldest of conflict. many the soldiers are among the alliances 1st responded currently on the french command. that's the place we leave. we sit and we fight among them. polish soldier private piazza, much unecc. poland has now found itself on nato's eastern flank against the possibly hostile enemy. what does that mean for you as a polish soldier? i was sure of what i was finding for joining me, but of course it's difficult for human human being, but we are, we are just doing our job. russia's invasion of ukraine pose is the biggest threat to european security in the generation, several nato states. and now rushing to ramp up their defense spending and germany, europe's largest nato country has reversed his position on sending weapons into war
2:20 am
zones in order to help ukraine alliance top brass fear russia, stop playing by international norms. time will tell us whether whether the things that the russians are doing in ukraine are war crimes or not. it is sometimes difficult to think that it is all an accident or as, especially if you hear that her now more than 30 medical facilities have been hit the refugee stream and the fact that people are not allowed to flee. or even after, after an agreement or when they are fleeing, they're still being targeted. those are all things that, that shouldn't happen. this week, nato warned that russia's accusations of ukraine storing biological weapons could be used as a pretext for chemical attacks. these french soldiers tasks with handling the aftermath of a chemical attack on high alert, while seemed inconceivable only
2:21 am
a few weeks ago seems chillingly possible. everything means cold weather exercises are simply about nato bolstering. it's east and flank. then think again. in recent months, russia has been steadily reopening its cold hole base is in the aunt. take a region that has 30 percent of the welds untapped natural gas. and 13 percent of its oil supplies. as europe tries to wean itself off, russian energy supplies, more countries are turning to norway to make up for possible shortfalls. until the evasion of ukraine began no way in russia had been working together to explore ought to oil fields, but not any more. is feared competing claims, the natural resources will put russia and nato on another collision course. the invasion of ukraine has major consequences for european security. already, nato chief said, the alliance must be primed to respond. the bunker out to 0 in central norway.
2:22 am
richard white is a defense and military analyst with wiki strategy joins us live via skype from washington to talk more about this. thanks very much for being with us. so when i ask you, 1st of all about a couple of developments on the security front, this lack in defense minister saying on thursday to these countries prepared to send these long, long range surface to air missiles to ukraine. if they're nato allies fill up, fill up the gap to to supply resupply them, and then britain, sending its skies, get skies saber a defense system to poland. does all of this risk escalating things further? i do not think so. the weapons under discussion are the same that the western powers have been providing the ukrainian armed forces for months. anti air missile, anti tank and armor missiles,
2:23 am
other types of light workmen, small and the ones the, the s 300 systems that the slow blocks may provide have already been in the ukrainian inventory. russia has more advance at 400 ness, 500. so it seems to me this is basically in line with what lions has been doing was providing the ukrainians with the weapons and munitions. they need to replenish the stock se boss than to take advantage of rush and tactical errors. but it's not an ask or tory move. and as far as the way things are, things are going inside ukraine right now, militarily, it does seem pretty clear that this is not going the way the russia, i'd hope to this point. you know, 3 weeks over 3 weeks now into this conflict. if rushes army continues to remain bogged down and you claim there is the possibility, as people have talked about, the put the put in a lash out by stepping up it's,
2:24 am
it's bombing of ukrainian cities to a level. we haven't seen it before in this conflict. how, how real is that fear, do you think i actually, i think that is very real possibility the russians have used as far as we can tell, most of the precision, nestles and weapons that were deployed in the ukranian front in the past 3 weeks at this point we're seeing them use non procession weapons. i just want missiles what poor, guidance, dumb gravity bombs, artillery shells, and so on. so i think that at we, i would expect us to continue what we're seeing now, which is a large amount of fire being directed in general urban areas. sometimes i hit ukrainian military positions, often they destroy civilian targets on the diplomatic front as well. we've been
2:25 am
hearing over the last couple of days that the, the talks between ukrainian or russian officials have been progressing. and this talk that it might involve ukraine declaring a type of neutrality. that is, not only would it not join nato, but it would, may remain as a kind of neutral european nation. is that a basis to, to, to, to en this conflict? do you think i would say that it present? i do not see any change in the russian war, and so we saw in present important statement yesterday, the other russian officials today they still have a series of demands. one of them is non membership in nato, but there's also a, basically a disarmament, which they call demilitarization of the ukranian armed forces regime change, which they called the now the cation recognition of crimea being russian territory
2:26 am
. a recognition of the loss of the don bass with being an independent state. let's under russian control. so i, you know, the crane is, may be flexible on the nato membership question, but the russians have to give way on some of these other issues before we see progress. and so far we haven't seen that, they pretty much stuck to the war aims. whatever talked of occurred negotiations, they focus more on for example, fig. determining humanitarian corridors by which civilians can leave some of the besieged cities, but they haven't really dealt with the fundamental issues. good to talk you, richard white's there in washington. thanks for being with us. thank you. are large crowds are gathering outside argentina's, senate building as senators their debate a controversial finance bill. they have 5 days to decide whether to refinance the countries $45000000.00 debt to the international monetary fund. if not, they risk defaulting on the loan. many argentinians are against barring more money
2:27 am
and protest every time congress debates this issue is go live now to teresa bow in one osiris for us. so tell us, tell us, what's the latest on the protest there to? right, well there's a lot of stake for argentina, as government says, says that the agreement with the international monetary fund is crucial. just until a while ago, there were thousands and thousands of people here who are protesting against that disagreement, saying that it is going to hurt argentina is most vulnerable. argentina has a long history with the i m f. and many here we sent it because they fear the austerity measures that the fund could make, the more government with the agreement implement. so the government has been announcing in this agreement that the main objective is to establish argentina's economy to argentina. right now have very, very high inflation. in february,
2:28 am
the inflation rate was $4.00 a month. there is exchange rate control and very high poverty rates. and there's a major concern within the administration. does not agreeing with the i m f to deteriorate, economic situation even further, and that's why there were many what brought us doing here just until a while ago. but when you talk to people on the streets, not, we're not focusing today. we're a large majority of people here in argentina. they're afraid about what's coming next. they want a plan by the government after this agreement is which, which is something that is expected because they want to be able to continue whether it i think would like to see have to learn to tack. hadley nation, that is totally affecting most of the people here, and there is affecting every one of those who are struggling to make them meet the middle class. so it's a big, big issue here and many are hoping that once the agreement is reached with the government will implement a plan to help this country's economy move forward. and theresa,
2:29 am
you mentioned the inflation rate there. but what is, what is daily life like that for many argentinians is as they struggle with the economy that well, there's lots of instability, but i didn't think have gotten used to living with inflation. argentina right now has one of the highest inflation rates in the world than i just, as i said last month, inflation rates was 4.7 percent and the i m f today said that the war in ukraine could deteriorate be economic situation even further because it will certainly affect argentina's economic growth. let's not forget that this is one of the main green explorers in the world. argentina right now, needs fertilizers that was coming from russia. they need to export grain and the price of rain is going up and this is forcing the government to try to implement some sort of restriction. so the price of the grant, for example, on the streets does not continue to rise. and this is
2:30 am
a main issue right now we're hearing, for example, the agricultural sector in argentina is threatening to go on strike. this is a very powerful inspector. margin teen argentina is highly dependent on exporting crops. so that situation right now is dire. for most people in the country around almost 50 percent of poverty rate in this country. so most of the people that have spoken to are desperate for an economic plan that will help this country recover from the current situation that a so thank you that i said all life was there in front of site. ah. all right, let's get around. i'm now at the headlines on al jazeera officials in the ukrainian city of marty you. paul said there are survivors. after a russian air strike hit a theater where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. they say that a bomb shelter underneath the theater wasn't destroyed. the exact number of.
