then retracting an enrique re approaching. there's also been some sit shelling, india this region about half an hour away from the city, all this church and the increases the tension among people here, the anxiety of what will happen next. and i have to say that the fact that this is a russian speaking city, that this is a city that has a lot of ties with russia historically. and even until really the beginning of this war, it doesn't count any more. people would tell you a look at what happened in my youth. what look at what happened with hurricane? there is no safe place in this country at the moment. the united nations is calling for an immediate stop to strikes on hospitals in ukraine, doctors working as a star for under extraordinary pressure treating the engine iran, calm reports from the capitol. keith. this used to be one of the main hospitals and

keep dealing with cove 19 infections. it's now been re purpose to treat war casualties. this ukrainian volunteer was shot in a plane of 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. yes, dollars 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 brought me to the hospital, they told me i had some shopping only my lung, but it turned out to be apologizing. does it define spirits amongst doctors, nurses, administration, so who say they already working round the clock? numerous cars key will definitely sustain all medical services. on top of that, the ukranian army and the territorial defense are keeping the enemy from entering 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. impatience were taken hostage as russian soldiers used the hospital to fire when ukrainian forces similar things 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. enron. khan al jazeera keith. are you as president joe biden will speak with his chinese count upon? she jin ping later on friday in what will be their 1st known discussion in months.

it comes just days after the white house suggested china may be opened to providing russia with military assistance re speaking, the president, she'd more here remind me that i told him he remembers every damn thing. i've said hoarsely block in sy. we talked about the idea. he that he does not believe about democracy, can be sustained and 21st century. oh katrina. you joins us sir live now from beijing us via skype. so katrina. tell us more about her. what's going to be on the agenda there as they speak. i think lou, the top line of this conversation is going to be about ukraine since the beginning of the invasion, china has tried a very awkwardly, i think, to play a sort of neutral role that's refused to officially take side saying that it's got good relations. the 4th kid and moscow, it says that it's sort of a neutral player and it just wants to encourage dialogue. but the same time beijing

has made it very clear that it intends to preserve its friendship with russia, which it's called several things in previously. it says it's limitless. brock solid . this friendship and it's very clear that china intense did to maintain that we had putin visit president eugene paying just a few weeks before the invasion in beijing. on the 2nd day of the russian attacks, they had a foreign coal. we've had china's foreign ministry spread these questions about a u. s. run bio labs in ukraine, which many believe is a russian propaganda. so i think there are a lot of questions as to whether china is going to be a sort of crutch or lifeline for russia is discontinued, especially considering that aging is still continuing to do business with moscow. frustrating any efforts to isolate russia by the us old by other western countries . and the u. s. for its spot has made it very clear warning,

aging against evading any western sanctions, or even taking a step further, providing military equipment or military aid to moscow. something that beijing a, by the way a has denied so that will definitely be on the agenda when birth leaders speak tonight as well as a talking about other issues, namely probably trade and of goals. taiwan as well. and katrina, when we look at the events in ukraine and, and how this is unfolded for russia. what, what implications does this then have for china's sir future intentions towards taiwan, which it has always maintained is a part of china. that's right. well, baiting has tried to distinguish the 2 scenarios, saying that they're completely different that ukraine is a sovereign country in taiwan and his historically part of china will. that's the arguments anyway. and as you mentioned, a beijing sees the self ruled island as inevitably one day being reunited with the

mainland. and yes, president, she jan paying has said that he doesn't want to, but he could use force to do this. but i think painting preferably wants to see taiwan reunited with china in a peaceful manner over a long term of time period of time. and it sees any effort, but each national community oh, by the us to support any sort of taiwan independence or even a separate taiwan identity, distinct from chinese identity, etc. that is all frustrating. it's long term vision for re unification at mixed aging. very mad. so what we had during this phone call during, during this meeting in rome, earlier this week between a, china's dip let young jessica and jake sullivan from the us side in row, according to the chinese readout tie, one was the name feature of that with beijing, namely complaining that although the u. s. has on paper said that it abides by the one china policy. we continue to see these gestures of friendship. oh, support

a by washington. reaching out to taiwan. most recently this unofficial visit led by the form, the u. s. secretary of state like pompeo, judy islands, earlier this month. so i think that will definitely be also on the agenda when the 2 leaders speak to day. and also, some analysts have speculated that fading, they even tried to use as a some sort of by getting chip saying, look, you want us to be on your side when it comes to rule efforts in ukraine when it comes to isolating russia and what we want from you is to stop supporting a taiwan oh stop reaching out and offering friendship to taiwan. so that could possibly also be part of the discussion tonight. katrina, thank you. katrina, you invasion force o u. k will deploy its missile defense system to poland, as nato moves to increase the security of its east and flag defense minister ben

wallace, announcing the deployment during a visit to the polish capital. warsaw he says the u. k. will send the sky sabre, anti air miss our defense, and the air miss our system, along with about a 100 personnel missile system being delivered after request from poland and will remain under the control of british forces. all right, when we come back on al jazeera, facing decades behind bars for protesting, 100 anti government. demonstrators are sentenced to prison in cuba and senators, in argentina, approve a controversial refinancing bill as people take to the streets ah look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored point cut on airways. how i once again would you believe we have yet more snow in the forecast forge pan over

the next day or 2? exposure of cloud or rolling house of central and eastern parts of china is going to bring some very heavy rain out into the open water. it will run its way across q shoe, into han shoe. and on the northern flank of that, there we go. with our when fi make some winter weather to to come for basing just a couple of weeks ago. remember we got to 20 degrees celsius in beijing, struggling to get to 2 degrees celsius here on friday afternoon with some snow in that wintry weather will run across the korean peninsula. more snow therefore, northern parts of japan, western areas 2 is more in the way of rain showers to the south of that and the shower will continue for central parts of china. southern china should be largely try got a fair, better dry weather to, into indo china, but southern parts of vietnam, cambodia. little more cloud here that will produce some pretty wet weather over the next day, or 7 in the usual rush of showers through much of malaysia into indonesia. got some

pretty wet weather too, just making its way to southern parts of the bare bin goes. he said he wants to watch, we could see some flooding coming into the nick bar, odyssey adam and alice over the next couple of days for india though she dry. oh, the weather is sponsored by casara ways. the natives news as it breaks. this is one of the growing number of chick points around the city of suffer risha. most of the men that you see here, a members of the civil defense forces. they all volunteers with detailed coverage. it workers are focusing on the most vulnerable, but many more need help from around the world. because an area that generally fees abundant rainfall, but strong winds, lack of humidity are making it easy for fire like this one to spread all at cross blue.

ah, well again, you're watching i 0 reminder of our top stories of the south rescue cruise in the ukrainian city of mar you, paul. say they found survivors after a russian asked wry kid, a theater where civilians were sheltering years president joe biden must be with his chinese counterpart. she jin thing on friday comes just days after the white house suggested china may be open to providing russia with military assistance. united nations has dozens of ukraine health care facilities have been attacked in violation of international humanitarian law. and have been a scathing exchanges in the un security council. the world body got an update on the toll in the, on the totally crank conflict is taking on civilians christmas. louis has

the security council gathered for its 5th briefing on the situation in ukraine and 3 weeks. the united kingdom, one of 6 countries to call for it. we want to continue to hold russia to account for the war crimes that are being carried out there. we want to counter their disinformation and eyes as images of that bombed theatre sheltering families and mary paul circled the globe. 3 un officials briefed citing at least $700.00 ukrainians killed so far and the conflict. dozens of them children, 5000000 forced to flee their homes as damage to civilian infrastructure. including 43 health facilities mounts. russia, denied bombing the theater, and targeting civilians, grammar, globular marshals of liquidity. ukraine always was a pawn in the geopolitical struggle against russia and remains such upon still. western politicians couldn't care less about the suffering of the people in dunbar . so including women, children, and the elderly. the breathing took place

a day before the security also was expected to vote on a humanitarian resolution put forth by russia. but nato online council members made clear they wouldn't support anything that didn't point the finger directly at russia as the source of that humanitarian crisis. so russia changed plans. we know if russia really truly cared about humanitarian crises, the one that it created, it could simply stop its attacks on the people of ukraine. but instead, they want to call for another security council meeting to use this council as a venue for its dis information and for pump promoting its propaganda. russia now plans to discuss us bio labs in ukraine, saying it has new evidence to share. we have this information which is raging much, much on a much greater scale that the, than the beveled dead on the battlefield. and they will not be surprised at anything because who wins did the information war. the one with the war,

intense diplomatic activity continues. i think we have to be very realistic. a lot of this is diplomatic game play is not actually going to have a huge impact on the ground. but the u. s. in its allies are looking for every way they can to put pressure on russia. lots of talk on the part of the security council, but still no action. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations. a russia's invasion of ukraine has prompted a rush by european governments to bolster their defences, pre plan nato exercises in norway of a quite a whole new significance. now with the military alliance. aiming to send a clear message to moscow that is ready for any assault on nato territory. me back a report. in sub 0 terrain troops from nato's 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 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 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 action a, as especially if you hear that her now more than 30 a 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 a few weeks ago seems chillingly possible. or you think these 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 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 chiefs say the alliance must be primed to respond me, bianca al jazeera in central no way. argentine is 1000 use now argentina senate has approved a deal to refinance

a $45000000000.00 deal with the international monetary fund. thousands of protesters gathered in the capital when a sorry ahead of the vote. many argentinians a borrowing or against borrowing more money and have been holding regular protests for more than a year. they say the terms of the debt or not realistic traceable as more from when aspires were here, right outside of the north of state for the government, people for rental, for 2 days to go to people's testing. mostly because they do not trust in the pony fees. that have been paid over and over again in subsequent economic crisis for the government to do that for over a year. this is a debt alone that was taken back in 2018 during the governmental. former president was the largest known never given to a country $57000000000.00 in the dark,

and see that ended up getting more tickets. that is now probably to repeat. the government says that it has a agreement in place that it will help the government stop and i see the struggling with a very high you nation race with exchange rate controls. other things that i'd like previous agreements. for example, if not the men go that henry out of the board and pension reform, for example. so that's why, but many of those here today are not trust me. i am that they're saying that that the government to be implemented everything that you would have any impact upon peruse. the constitutional court has voted to release form of president alberto fuji murray from prison. the 83 year old is serving a 25 year sentence for human rights violations. the court reinstated a pardon food you more received in 2017 that pardon had been revoked by peruse

supreme court at sanchez reports from lin all former precedent. i learned to hook you money will go free of supervisor over you celebrating in different parts of the city. they're celebrating the constitutional court decision to let go. the 83 year old commodity, frequent been in jail since 2007. we are grateful has been people because he was the one who gave peace in despair. there were never murders and killings in 2017 former president made up our local genes. he partner and hooky, marty. but the supreme court said it was illegal because he money was convicted for gross human rights violations with doesn't permit a presidential pardon, so he will send it back to jail. now the victim defense is what he want. he has never complied with the minimum conditions established by the inter american court for human rights, and that goes from acknowledging the responsibility for the crime to our main,

reparations to the victims. now the defense will have to go back to the inter american port for human rights to ask for provisional measures before going look. and we'll say to explain either we have asked the inter american court for human rights for provisional measures and a hearing in accordance with the standards established by the core itself. the court should declare and order nobody of this resolution of the constitutional court talk. well now supreme court judges will have to comply with the constitutional court decision and overturn the decision that they gave in 2017 that put money back in jail. they will have to believe in the next days or even hours for former prison. i'd like to put the money to walk free. ah.
