why do we, we need to take america to trying to bring people together trying to deal with people who can left behind blue levine comes under attack from russian forces will have a report from the western ukrainian city, which has been seen as a refuge for those fleeing the world. ah, although i may dream, but again this is al 0 i from dough also coming up with weapons defense weapons. we're going to take your old contra herself if you can do it and close this guy. we're going to do them. they're all with hor, shelling on the ukrainian capital. the mayor of keeps brother says the washington

vacation is a war against civilians. thousands reign trapped to the besieged city of barrier pole. one family which managed to escape tells of the continuing fighting one at the boot. i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experienced and the u. s. will warn china against supporting russia with the american chinese leaders. you to speak for the 1st time since the ukraine war began several russian rockets of hit an air croft maintenance plant near the airport in the western city of levine, the city a sofa escaped the worst of the bomb bob unseen. elsewhere in ukraine. russia has been targeting residential areas throughout the week. let's go live now to levine in west of ukraine al jazeera robert bride. is there rob, talk us through what happened there in the early hours of the morning?

yeah, this has been a somewhat of an alarming development or for people here in this city. we have air aids or warnings here night after night said there was just after day break and other air aid warning go. i went off, people made for their basements made for shelters, and sure enough, at this time, it was the real thing. this was a 6 missiles. we believe possibly of the crews of variety. and we believe fired from the south coming from the area around at the black sea. and the 2 of these missiles according to the ukrainians, were intercepted by anti missile defense systems. but. busy for hit their target and their target at was at this facility that apparently repairs an air craft dead . there was damage to the facility, but we understand that there were was actually only one injury. but in that, think they more concerned for people here is that this part of western ukraine has so far, largely escaped a lot of the conflict that has been witnessing in other parts of the country. we

had an attack on a military base about half way between here and the nearby polish border that was several days ago in that of course was of concern not only here but also to a to ukraine's neighbors because of course, poland, dessert and nato, a member we had an attack on a military air field in the town of looks that was north of here that was earlier, but by and large this a part of the ukraine has escaped these larger attacks and it has made people here begin to question whether we are seeing a beginning of this or russian pattern that we have seen out so often across the other parts of the country whereby a targets a critical infrastructure defense facilities with a view to waging closer around cities and starting to prod at the defenses of those cities. so far, you know, the people here and live, know that the country is at war. we've seen hundreds of thousands of people refugees, largely from other parts of the country. heading out of the ukraine at the population here has been swollen by refugees from other parts of the country. we have

a curfew in place. we have checkpoints, but by large life has continued as normal. people are out in the streets. there is food in the shops, but this is a reminder for people here that this is very much a country at war and from this friday that war does feel a little closer. out. is there a ra mcbride reporting live there from the vive? in western ukraine rock, many thanks. indeed. when you cranes, capital was also hit by russian shelling overnight had happened in the puddle school district of the city where part of a russian missile hit a residential building. emergency crews have been searching for anyone injured in the damaged building out as he was enron. com is there. it was just after 8 am local time. when was said to be a russian missile. i actually hit this neighborhood in the north of a cave to take a look at the immense amount of down. you can see that entire facade glowed off.

now when these apartment blocks were built in the sixties and seventies, they were built around a square in that square over there are the we're just going to pan round. so you can see that there is a children's play area. there will be a school low be a kindergarten. ah, now we've been moved away from that area because there's still unexploded ordnance that the police and rescue services are checking out. they're also going into all of the buildings to look for anybody that might still be trapped inside. we are hearing that one person was killed. 4 people were injured and a number have already been evacuated. this happened around breakfast time. yeah. she heard it from our hotels about 10 kilometers away from here. so we heard that you mentioned the thunderous noise that i would have made residence. a saying that that actually that they were actually very scared now because this is happening so often. anybody this left in these apartment buildings is the actually sleeping in any room that has a glass frontal or actually sleeping in the lobby of their apartment. and that's

what is saving them. now, this was an unthinkable just a few weeks ago. their tax would be taking place in a eve itself, but this is now an every day occurrence a big refrain. hear from people is closed, the skies is an appeal to nato for no fly zone. however, we've just been speaking to vladimir clips. hancock who is a former world heavyweight boxing champion and the brother of the mer, he's also one of the symbols of keys resistance to the russians. at when i asked them about to close the sky. this is what he had to say. we're going to close the sky, bowers cells, we'll need the military a cooper. when it weapons defensive weapons. we're going to carol canton ourselves . if you can't do it and close the sky, we're going to do it on their own. we need weapons. we need defensive weapons. we need it now. in an hour is going to be too late. we need it. now. the frequency of

these attacks has got ukrainian residents, very, very scared. now the talks are still ongoing, but the more this happens, the less confidence people in ukraine, people in the city of keith have that the may will be a quick or an easy solution to this. russian warships have been shelling, odessa, which is bracing for an invasion. ukraine's 3rd largest city is on the black. sea coast is home to more than 1000000 people out there as hot abdel hamid is that right now. she's with us live her. what's the mood in that city right now? well, certainly there's a lot of worry in the city. because just as you mentioned, these russian or ships have been seen off the coast approaching and maybe sort of navigating around according to satellite imagery to be at least 3 fleets of russian

war ships, including landing ships. so this is bracing himself the beaches have been mind if you go around the city. this checkpoints everywhere, all day historic center of this city. just behind me there has been completely field up. you need a special permission to get in then only. busy residence allowed to get that and then behind me here you see you have this volunteer center you money, terry and aid being gathered and dispatch. this is actually usually a food market as food holes or tours where they can try all the disability as well . if you go inside, it's really distracted the t, v, t collecting medicine, water, food maps, blankets, all sorts of things that can help them. if indeed, there is an assault on their side, but also to be sent to nikolai of which is about an hour and a half or 2 hours. i would say at least drive from here to the north east. they did

the russians and the ukrainian army. there's been fighting overnight from what we understand. the ukrainian army is still holding ground and the russians are not advancing quite as a quick pace, but people watching what's happening there because there is a feeling that after nikolai, if it falls, then it will be or that sister. and i'll just, there is a hamid reporting live from the city of a desa manufacture date. how to that's good of you now from moscow, where russia's foreign minister, so gay love ralph has been speaking to the government r t channel. he accused the us of wanting to shape the world and its own image. ready dara players who would never accept the global village under the miracle sheriff and china india, brazil's argentine in mexico. i am sure this countries do not want to be just in

the position of an uncle. sam ordered them something and they say yes sir. and of course, russia is not in the category of countries who would be, who would be ready to do. so i'll just arrest or such a barry has more now on that end, if you, from moscow, the foreign minister was talking about the idea that the united states, as a world superpower, is really not that powerful. and that the demands that it's made from russia about its security concerns that this country has, are really not something that the russians are willing to accept. and they are now at proving that by taking matters into their own hands and looking out for their best interests as a result of which they are now carrying out what they call the special military operation in ukraine. the foreign minister also was very harsh on the ukrainian

president laudermill. luke is saying that he's pushing us president biden into a confrontation which clearly neither at the u. s. president wants, nor the russian president. he also talks about how the cargo ships of military aid that are going into ukraine are very much a fair target for the russian military. and he also talked about the goals that russia has when it comes to ukraine. let's hear what he had to say. we are implementing the duration, the goal of which is to remove any threat to the russian federation coming from the ukranian. so and this was part of our proposal in december last year when the suggested that we negotiate with natal security guarantees the way which would be quantifying the all agreement to reach the highest level that no one, no country should increase the security and the spence of the security of others

people have left so far, but more than 350000. a still sheltering in the city now to sarah's as had beg is in zappa asia. where he spoke with one family that was able to get out with the managed to escape the horror, but are still suffering from the chrome of their days trapped him mario poach surrounded by the russian army. but i've been bitten i flung into to them. i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experience. we lead in the squeak of william wilson this mary rupert who was so how much the city was destroy them. my son was running under rocket fire to collect water with we collected snow. the billy will not as the p boil did to drink 65 year old it ina progressed over, and her husband sergey spent 20 days hiding in the basement with them from the

raging battle above they fled here to supper, richer taken in by their friend constantine one as well as what do i hit there wanting? we had only 2 liter, so water would drink water not meant for drinkin, were boiled it on the fire and drank it. we only had potatoes to eat. they are not alone in this ordeal. over 400000 call the city home. the so irina recalls the moment they made it out. and i'll let you down, we'll get him of jordan cross the can there. but as what shall we feel? it was a miracle when we heard that explosion in the center of mighty, we'll pull close to the drama, see a town much would jumped into the car and ran away from their living, who didn't really had a root. that's what we were just trying to get out there with me. and then we happened by chance to joins a convoy of course, does a pretty shout lady lose another 40. they can't believe that this has happened to them from a people they once felt the new thing, my galle, unscheduled. she is no good or stinky on us. let's see. many of our people have

been married and stayed in russia. we maintained relations when we have grew up here on it's our country, our motherland will always thought that the russia is torn coupon m theory, but not an enemy is not an enemy. and now wine at them as just because family relations most those political conflicts with them, we talk to each other with our relatives came to us. we spent some time at the similar assault and when the war broke out dickens, we just couldn't understand that it could be a war between 2 brothers as a chair. they can never go back. the pain is too much. her mother died when their house was bombed. he shook, which escaped bullshit, and i want to tell you something more astellas in that house which was born. you left my 86 year old mother. you person emotionally. we were just weren't able to carry her out. when did you know the griffin,

90 percent of mighty open is destroying us dollars? there is nothing more there who think you will there. we don't have a place to go back to the can now only wait, it will be still for now. the future, uncertain for me. sure is i'm hoping the war doesn't follow them here, but he would let's. anyway, i said big for him as era. this is apple richer the presidents of china, of the us to hold our 1st direct talks since november the u. s. secretary of state says, but china appears to be open to providing believe military assistance to the russians will 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 shine in particular has a responsibility to use its influence, the president bowden, 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. or friday's phone call for was growing us concern of china's tires with russia. adrian brown reports from hong kong. the leaders of russia and china could not have been more explicit about their relationship. when they last met, 3 weeks before the conflict began, focus it on the circle of latimer putin and she didn't ping declared. it was a friendship with no limits. one expert says you, that means china will stand by russia. i don't think china sitting on the fence, janice, supporting russia. basically it tries to be diplomatic, but ah, giving the gravity of the circumstances. think being neutral means means a form of support. she and putin have met 38 times as national leaders. it's not

known if she was made aware of putin's plans for ukraine at their last get together . but there's clarity on one issue there shared aim to create an alternative to the current world order. china has cast itself as a neutral player in the conflict. abstaining from a united nations though, condemning rushes invasion yet is in a unique position to mediate. absolutely, i hope so. and i believe so. why? because china has good relations with russia on the white hand. and with ukraine on the other hand, and china does not have a stake involved in this military operation. and the china is objective and as channels also neutral, china's foreign minister insists his country respects the sovereignty of all nations including ukraine. but the legitimate security concerns of all countries must also be respected, including russia's, my assessment is that it will most likely,

continues as diplomatic dance. sort of saying that sovereignty is important, but at the same time, the factor supporting russia, providing economic assistance to rush. this is a complicated crisis for china, despite its close partnership with russia. it's economic future depends in large part on good trade relations with europe or europe. that's now united behind tough economic sanctions on russia. and there's an added twist. last year, china was ukraine's number one trading partner. in recent, wargames, chinese and russian troops simulated an attack on a nameless enemy in ukraine though, china insists it's not taking sides. a stance that analysts argue might be harder to maintain. the longer the conflict goes on. adrian brown, al jazeera punk home. so may a poorer is a senior fellow at the international institute for strategic studies. he explains

whether this call could be a tipping point for china, russia tires. the rest is on something of a diplomatic offences to try to call out an even to shame china for it's somewhat neutral stones over russia's invasion of ukraine that began and on 24th of february. and i think in particular the intelligence, the u. s. is publicized about the russian request for the provision of chinese military assistance. wumer certainly be a feature of how binding the purchase is coal, presumably to bright decision ping for even entertaining this and, and bright sunshine is not telling that back on russia during versus invasion. preemption has always been the u. s. approach throughout this. an invasion of ukraine has tried to think ahead of the 1st the russian moves and our potentially chinese moves. i think there's 2 things to keep in mind that the 1st is that provision of fresh military support and items by china. perhaps that could be

headed off, but the china, russia relationship in economic terms is really deep. and it's, that's quite a bishop goals to grow that by natural as the volume of trade between 2 countries substantially in the coming years, i think tries going to walk away from that. and i think you conclude from this that because china trades with russia, i believe it buys it's crude oil. it buys, it's a gas, it buy, it buys all sorts of a things that the is indirectly supporting, not russia. and i think it's, it's the flights of fancy to think that china would turn its back on his economic relationship with russia, even if it stepped back from selling at the specific military pieces of equipment. brittany has ordered the russian government tv news channel off the air. the kremlin says the decision to revoke our tea is broadcast license is madness. britain's regulator off. com says that our tea cannot be considered a fit. and proper broadcaster, the channels coverage of the ukraine war was subject to 29 separate investigations

into what critics describe. a state sponsored propaganda that in baba in london reports. artie itself has been fined in the past 4 breaches of impartiality rose. now it's been off the air here in the u. k, because if you sanctions imposed over the invasion of ukraine, but it's still maintains a presence online and that's ongoing despite this rolling by off. come that a i know i know tv, which is the licensee behind r t is not fit and proper now the, the watchdog. so i teach new laws in russia which in its view, effectively criminalize any independent journalism that departs from the russian states. news narrative, an outcome says that means it appears impossible for our tea to comply with the impartiality rules. here in the u. k, that did reference those 29 investigations going on. as you were talking about

saying that that was a fairly unusual situation. it did go to pains to stress that they had taken into account people's rights to a range of information and free speech considerations. but having to balance that with the importance of keeping public trust in the broadcasting regulatory system. now also you have responded deputy editor in chief and belkin. a have said that off come with this judgment has showed that despite a well constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more. busy than a tool of government bending to its media, suppressing will out 2 of you, sergeant tina selves has approved a deal to refinance of $45000000000.00 debt with the international monetary fund. but many people are against borrowing extra money that have been holding regular protests for all of a year. now. they say the terms of real are just not realistic. teresa po,

reports from point us others it was necessary agreement to help the country move forward. said argentine senators who voted in favor of a new program with the i. m. f. debate about refinancing. have been ongoing for 2 years. something that has caused widespread protests and frustration. now it's embarrassing. they gave way our sovereignty every 3 months. the i m f will come to orders 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? oh, argentine and the i m f. have been negotiating a new program to restructure over $40000000000.00 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 rates and poverty rates by miss 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 4 year grace period, but aims to reduce the deficit and cut down energy subsidies that cost the country over 10000000000 dollars a year. exactly. 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 against the block. i'm with lots of responsibility, but the process highlighted tension between precedent for a man this and vice president, christina fernandez, the cosigner 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 when the, when, when argentina signed the agreement, everything got worse. the price of energy went up. the price of gas went up, so all the objectives will have to be uptake, growth, inflation and deficit and everything is getting worse. because that's happening around the world. the or the problem is that here we have a chronic problem. the agreement must be approved by the i m s point. but emily said that deal will not solve argentina is 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 aside is constitutional court judges in peru has voted to release the former president. i'll better for you moving from prison. the 83 road is serving a 25 year sentence for murder and corruption. the court reinstated the part in the food you already received 5 years ago that was overturned by an international court
