it's landed just a few meters from our convoy, similar positions i been all over the need for a region really try a st. totally destroyed along the road. we came in on. there was still clearly an active battlefield day without it thereafter. the latest development ah lavish, a city seen as a refuge for those fleeing. the war comes on the heavy bombardment from russian forces. ah. busy i'm adrian, and again, this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up, thousands remain trapped to the besieged city of maria poll. we speak to one family that was able to get out. so i wanted to do that. i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experience. do you,

asshole warm china against supporting worship? was that to leaders speak for the 1st time since the ukraine war began? and senators, in argentina, approve a refinancing deal with the international monetary fund, but not everyone's happy will tell you why. several washing rockets have hit an aircraft maintenance plan to the western ukrainian city of levine. according to the map, there are no casualties reported the city. so far, escape the worst of the bombardment seen elsewhere in ukraine. russia has been targeting residential areas throughout the week as it seeks to leverage ongoing negotiations. let's take you live now to live. if al jazeera zane boss robbie is there in western ukraine zane. tell us more about what's been happening there. well, during this attack happened in the early morning hours about 3 hours ago. oh,

a sirens or air raid sirens started going off in the city of eve at around 6 or 6 30 am. and shortly after that we started getting reports of an attack. not too far from the city. i'm gonna get out of the way and show you as far as we can get. now the city is still under martial law. the skyline behind me was thick with black smoke just a little while ago, but we've seen ambulances and water trucks heading to the location, working to put that fire out. now what we know about what happened here was that according to the managing director of believe international airport, approximately 4 russian missiles heads in air craft repair plant, an old soviet aircraft repair plant that was being used as a warehouse close to the airport. this is an area just as close to the city. it's an and an old industrial area of lots of old industrial buildings in plants that are sort of in half use. at the moment old factories, the mayor will of announcing and confirming that the, the area that was hit was completely leveled by multiple russian missiles,

but there were no injuries and deaths. so this attack are happening in the early morning hours of so many others have happened in the last few days. but the significance here is that this is the closest attack to take place near live. we've seen a few other attacks in the west of the country so far in this conflict in ukraine, but this is the closest one to happen to levine so far. you say the significance of it being that this city is so far to the west. it's also a city that's pretty close to the border with poland. that's exactly right. to give you a sense of, of exactly how close this attack is. we're about 10 or 15 minutes drive to the town center. another 10 or 15 minutes, about 2 or 3 kilometers behind me is where the target was. that was hit by those russian missiles. levine is an incredibly significant city, has taken on a larger role since the conflict. it was the cultural capital of the country for so long. but it has also become a hug for humanitarian relief coming in from poland and other countries as well as

people fleeing the conflict. and these are coming to levine and then either re basing here or heading out a further into poland and then further into europe. so it's a main hub for a lot of people that are fleeing the violence. a population of around 1000000 people went up to almost double according the city officials in the last few weeks . it's also a main place where a lot of the lethal laid a lot of the military this coming in from poland from a europe from western allies, comes through living and onwards. it's also a place where goes war, war wounded, come for treatment. so it is a very significant hub in this conflict in a way it's become a sort of unofficial 2nd city here in ukraine and for an attack to happen. so close to the town center certainly is an escalation, as there was a massage reporting live there from levine for in western ukraine. jane for the moment. many thanks. rescue crews in the ukrainian city of mario paul say that they found survivors. after a russian asked wry kit, a theatre more than a 1000 people,

including children, were believed to be sheltering. there obviously was robert bride reports now after an unrelenting c g days of being battered on all sides. the southern port city of mary, you hold one of the most porto, but targets in this grinding war and showing all the scars of conflict. thousands of people have now managed to escape, but they've left behind a depleted and dazed population picking over the ruins of their city and their former lives. you are years of here, we have nothing to eat. it's awful just awful. no light, no heat, nothing gloom wilmont who it was terrible. how can really, what was it for, for what? what are the yourself here for this key of neighborhood, another early morning awakening from the war. an incoming missile was intercepted

with falling debris, killing a resident pillow, people in cities on the front line like here in cock eve, continue to bear the brunt. parents of children, they shouted. school have come together to try and restore classrooms on the home for here, for so 1st a little we came to help. we heard that such a catastrophe happened and i don't know how to describe it. it's and human. and that the main church for the military in the western city of the be a funeral for another soldier killed in conflict. while this war continues to arouse condemnation of the russian invasion on the world stage here in ukraine, each death locally seems only to strengthen the resolve to join the fight. outside live more training for volunteers. this soldier calls himself cream meaning crimea,

says he left his home on the peninsula when it was seized by russian forces in 2014 and his bowing not to be moved on again. and is now the vive is my home that i'm more interested in a democracy than in a totalitarian state. these volunteers will soon join. others like former international tennis player, said geese the kosky, old who says he had no choice, but to put on a uniform and pick up a gun, even if i will be capable of shooting, killing someone is marking you on your life. so i don't believe in any of the ukrainians are willingly doing it, but we don't have a with both sides, seemingly unable to find a way out of the war, goes into its 4th week. casualties are mounting all around us. rob mcbride, al jazeera live aid agencies, described the humanitarian situation in maria paul as apocalyptic around. 30000

people have left so far, but more than 350000. a still sheltering in the city. i was here, as i said, big is in zapora year. where he spoke with one family that was able to get out of the managed to escape the horror, but are still suffering from the trauma of their days. you trapped him, mario poach surrounded by the russian army paraffin, didn't they? sla wanted to do that. i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experience we need in a school complete as little smoothman here, but we're still home. i just he to was destroyed and then my son was running under rocket fired to collect water with we collected snow typically will not get the boil. did to drink 65 year old, did he know progressed over and her husband sergey spent 20 days hiding in the

basement with one from the raging battle above they fled here to his aperture taken in by their friend constantine. when as well as they were delayed their landing, we had only 2 liter. so water would drink water not meant for drinkin will boil it on the fire and drank in the only had potatoes to eat. they are not alone in this ordeal. over 400000 call the city home. so irina recalls the moment they may detect and which you don't want to move to the prospect. but it would show when it was a miracle. when we heard that explosion in the center of mighty, we'll put close to the drama, see it's much with jumped into the car and run away from their vision. you didn't really had a root. we were just trying to get out. there wasn't, you know, so, and then we happened by chance to joins the corner of course, because the police would lose. and as they can't believe that this has happened to them from a people, they once felt that you then you might get hurt, you know, get authentic you enough. or if he,

many of our people have been married and stayed in the russia, we maintain relationships. we have grew up here from our country all motherland. we always told the russia a strong proponent, but not an enemy. this was not an enemy to know why that's just because family relations. most of those political treat them. we talked to each other. our relatives came to us, we spent some time and when the war broke out, we just couldn't understand that it could be a war between 2 brothers. they can never go back. the pain is too much. her mother died when the house was bummed. you could just get worse with them. i want to tell you something more astellas in the house which was left my 86 year old mother. you person the movie we missed. we just weren't able to carry her out. but you know, 90 percent of my job is destroyed. if there is nothing more there,

this is in you that we don't have a place to go back to the can now only wait till you will be still a foreigner. the future uncertain thought me sure is i'm hoping the war doesn't follow them here up here and let thinking i said, bake for him as his era is aperture u. s. president joe biden will speak with his chinese counterpart. she's in ping later on friday. ahead of that discussion, secretary of state, entity, blink, and said, the china appears to be open to providing military assistance to russia. we continue to call on all nations, especially those with direct influence with russia. to use whatever leverage they have to compel moscow to end this war of choice. we believe china in particular has a responsibility to use its influence with president putin and to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support. instead,

it appears that china is moving in the opposite direction by refusing to condemn this aggression while seeking to portray itself as a neutral arbiter. and we're concerned that they're considering directly assisting russia with military equipment to use in ukraine out as, as katrina you in beijing has more in want the 2 leaders are expected to discuss this phone call could determine the trajectory of the crisis in ukraine with these to lead to speaking biden, leading the charge to pressure russia and just stopping the invasion. and she didn't pig seen as one of the few international leaders left who does have into the when with prison vladimir putin. now, china, as we've just had since the beginning of the russian attack has refused to take aside, it said that it encourages dialogue. but at the same time, aging has made it very clear that it intends to preserve its friendship with russia, which is described as rock solid. we had been the preaching visit china and speak with president. she's paying in person just a few weeks before the invasion. on the 2nd day of the attacks,

they have phone call. we've had chinese foreign ministry of the past few days. spread these questions about us run bio labs in crane, which many considered to be russian propaganda and moist. crucially, we've had aging continue to do business as usual with moscow. something that many believe could be sending out a crucial lifeline or crutch for russia at a time when many other countries are trying to economically isolate this, us has wanted aging that there will be consequences, for example, for evading western sanction. or even taking things a step further and supporting russia via military aid or quitman. the aging has denied that it has any intention of doing this. but at the same time, china is also thinking about its own interest here its own interest when it comes to doing trade with russia, its own interest when it comes to wanting stability and very important political

year for president. she didn't pay, we'll get a weather update. next he announced syrup then. ah, nato conducts military drills in norway, with an eye on russia, and a musical message of hope from mosul. our group of young iraqis is trying to lift the spirits of ukrainians. ah, how i was still got some rather lively shower since the western parts of the med. it's right in eastern aries espinoza plants filling in across that western side of europe. notice this lovely slot of clear air must ridge of high pressure. that'll quieten things down here. will be what he brights in spring like as we go on through the next couple of days. not safe for the west side of the met. it's right

frank assessments for china as well. banner said from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs. and on fridays on that statement. critical debate with claims that native constitutes an interest in shield fred to russia. but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera blue. ah, hello again. this is sarah. let's remind you of the main news the so about of live

. even west of ukraine says that several russian rockets of hit areas their cities airport. it's so far escape the worst of bob and seen elsewhere in the country. rescue crews of the besieged city of mario full say that they've found survivors in a theater hit by a russian ass strike. hundreds of civilians were opposed to be in an underground shelter. there, it's unclear how many casualties the wrong a u. s. president joe biden, to him and his chinese counterpart, she should been, as you, the older 1st direct talk since november friday's phone call. fullest growing us can some of a, china's ties with russia, beijing storms on the war in ukraine. they've been heated exchanges of the un security council as members got an update on the toll that ukraine's conflict is taking on civilians on to zeros. kristen salumi reports the security council gathered for its 5th briefing on the situation in ukraine in 3 weeks. the united kingdom, one of 6 countries called for it. we want to continue to hold russia to account for

the war crimes that being carried out there. we want to counter that disinformation and eyes as images of that bomb theatre. sheltering families and mary a poll, circled the globe. 3 you and officials briefed sighting at least $700.00 ukrainians killed so far in 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. grain globulin, ushers of liquidity of ukraine always was a pawn in the geopolitical struggle against russia and remained such upon still. western politicians couldn't care less about the suffering of the people in dunbar se including women, children, and the elderly. the breathing took place a day before the security council was expected to vote on a humanitarian resolution put forth by russia. but made 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 disinformation 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 the, on a much greater scale than the, than the battle then on the battlefield. and i will not be surprised at anything because who wins that the information was. 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. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations rushes invasion of ukraine, has prompted a rush by european governments to bolster that offenses. pre planned nato exercises in norway have acquired a whole new significance with the military alliance aiming to send a clear message to moscow that it's ready for any assault on later territory. me parker reports. in sub 0 terrain. troops from nato's very high readiness joint task force, a training for the coldest of conflicts. many the soldiers were among the alliance, his 1st responders. currently on the french command of the place, we leave, we sleep, and we fight among them. polish soldier, private piazza,

much unecc. poland has now found itself on nato's eastern flank against a possibly hostile enemy. what does that mean for you as a polish? so jim, i was sure what i was signing for joining the army. but of course it's, it's if difficult as a for human human being, but ah, we are, we're just doing our job rushes invasion of ukraine pose. is the biggest threat to european security in a generation. several nato states and our 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 rushes, stop playing by international norms. time will tell whether whether the things that the russians are doing in ukraine are war crimes or not. that 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 later warned the rushes 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. what seemed inconceivable, only a few weeks ago seems chillingly possible. giving 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. it's cold haul base is in the arctic region

that has 30 percent of the world's untapped natural gas. and 13 percent of its oil supplies. as europe tries to wean itself off russian energy supplies, all countries are turning to norway to make up for possible shortfalls. until the evasion of ukraine began norway in russia, had been working together to explore arctic 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. nato chiefs say the alliance must be primed to respond me barca, al jazeera in central no way. in other nissan containers, senate has approved the deal to refinance a $45000000000.00 debt with the international monetary fund. but many people are against borrowing extra money. i've been holding regular protests for all that a year now they say the terms of the deal. i'm not realistic of zeros for isabel

reports from one of solace. it with a necessary agreement to help the country move forward. said argentine senators who voted in favor of a new program with the i m. f. debates about with financing have been ongoing for 2 years. something that has cost widespread protests and frustration. now, it's embarrassing. they gave way of sovereignty. every 3 months, the i m f will come to order har accounts, aside from last, inflation, the cost of transport, of gas of wheat increase every day. how are we going to afford all this? o g t m b i m f, have been negotiating a new program to restructure over 40000000000 dollars in debt. inherited by the previous administration. argentina will have to pay over $2000000000.00 next week. this vote in the senate was crucial to prevent the default. the government says that an agreement with the i m f is crucial, discover lies,

economy that is currently struggling with exchange rate controls, inflation rate and poverty rates. but this people here say that an agreement with force, the governmental implement, austerity measures that will have an impact in their lives. president alberto for man. this managed to convince the opposition to vote in favor of an agreement that gives the country a full year grace period. but aims to reduce the deficit and cut down energy subsidies that cost the country over $10000000000.00 a year. jackie lataria, it's almost a single yucca. what we are doing here today is preventing greater suffering. and this is the importance on the tragedy. because an agreement with the i m f prevents in economic calamity. and that's why we are doing this today. the clock, i'm with lots of responsibility. but the process highlighted tension between precedent for a man this and vice president, christina fernandez. the kirschner who questioned the terms being negotiated with the i, m. f. in the past weeks, the war ukraine has pushed up commodities,

prices and inflation has gone up even further. economy, say the agreement goals will have to be revised. whether the, what is going argentina, signed the agreement, everything got worse, the price of energy went up, the price of gas went on. so all the objectives will have to be update the growth, inflation, and deficit. and everything is getting worse, because that's happening around the world. the problem is that here we have a chronic problem, the agreement must be approved by the i m s point. but emily say that deal will not solve argentina's endemic economic problems. problems that have left millions living in poverty and looking for solutions that never seem to arrive. there is, i will as a cedar when a site is little of the city of mosul and iraq has been rebuilt since it was destroyed by isis 5 years ago. but a group of young iraqis was hoping that the sound of music will give new life to the city by forming an orchestra. they have a message for the people of ukraine,

it's old songs and melodies. i didn't know more about cologne, each perfumed pavilion marleen studying to become a paramedic. but her passion is music. she fled from mostly christian area near mosul during the fighting. and now she wants other erotic girls to follow their dreams. the most common muscle of what harling did then after the defeat of i feel this society is more open. now girls have a chance to work and to play music. my message to a dog goes, is that whatever difficulty you face and even their societies against you, confront them with the think you love doing, ah, none of them is a professional musician. but then just a year, they've held 3 concepts. one of them abroad, more than a 1000 people turned up to listen last month on social media, people from mostly sent messages to door, the ukraine, assuring them, as they rose from the ashes of eisen,

ukrainian shouldn't give up hope to be able to hear music amid the ruins of muscles all the few strange, but it brings home the resilience of residents who say that despite the destruction and lack of help, they remain committed to bringing the city back to life. this is assess dot conductor, an orchestra, maestro, he invited dentist is from all over northern europe, tested their talent, and then wrote symphonies as someone who was born in new york city. if you know the cultural revival of most and it has responsibility to come, i cannot describe my feeling when i returned and played in the old city. despite all this, there is a hope of happiness that the city will come back. and my favorite melody was composed while i was the refugee and turkey, and i completed it in muscle and called it ashes. now hasn't played by the orchestra, so much of the old city remains ruined. 5 years after i still was crushed hair. but

from the ashes, people here hope of the future in tune the most ins, former glory. some of the java does of era, most of old city billions of hinders around the world, a celebrating holy festival of colors. it marks the beginning of the spring harvest season devotees through colored powder or water at each other only celebrations in india, a scaled back over the past 2 years. 223 corona virus pandemic. ah, good to have you with this. hello, adrian for the can hear it though. how the headlines on al jazeera, the man of levine in western ukraine, says that several russian rockets of hit areas near the cities airport. the city so far escaped the worst of the bombardment seen elsewhere in the country. al jazeera zane bus robbie is there were about 10 or 15 minutes drive to the town center, another 10 or 15 minutes about 2 or 3.
