banning people from selling or eating wallace found along the getting river. the area affected by the red tide is small, but news of the algae bloom has affected seafood traders in the area. ah ukrainian military facilities hits ne levine, a western city where ukrainians have found refuge from battlefields elsewhere. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera, alive from doha, with continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. u. s. president joe biden space with chinese latest sheet in ping seeking to isolate russia from its most important ally. moscow is accused of abusing un security council meetings after

calling another one to claim ukraine has a biological weapons. he and russia rallies and national pride with a stadium shows celebrating 8 years since the annexation of crimea for hello and welcome to the program. russia's president vladimir putin says he's ready to keep searching for solutions to the war. but as diplomatic efforts continue, the conflict drug crimes on key residents continue to suffer rush and bomb attacks . at least one person has been killed when parts of a missile hit a residential building. city officials, same more than 200 people have died there since the war began. missiles heat and air craft repair factory in levine, which is in western ukraine. the city has avoided the worst of the russian

bombardment until now. and you as president joe biden has spoken to his chinese counterpart, she didn't ping for almost 2 hours by foreign. their 1st call since russia invaded ukraine. president, she said the conflict was in it, no one's interests. and that both their country should make efforts for peace. we have correspondence standing by in ukraine as well as us covering all angles of this story. but 1st let's go to rob mcbride, who's in at levine. hello there, rob. 1 tell us was the latest from where you are it, sir, was an extremely alarming attacker that happened here. friday morning. they are air ride signs going a going offer on a daily basis. often that said, night time, people head to the shelters, they often turn out to be false. alarm sir, but this friday morning, it was definitely a real attack. her some 6 missiles assumed to be cruise missiles or cruise type

missiles being fired from the south from the area of the black sea, the ukrainians say to those missiles were intercepted before did get through to this location, which is about 6 kilometers from the center of levine, which is a quite concerned because this a part of the ukraine of the western most part of ukraine and around the city of la vivas escaped a lot of the kind of conflict and hostilities that we've seen in the rest of the you freight. but it is a large transport. harvard, it is the main gateway between ukrainians, ukraine's european neighbors. it's especially heading towards poland and we've seen that the past few weeks, of course, that this has been the conduit for hundreds of thousands of refugees escaping the conflict to get out of ukraine. other refugees about the state here because it is considered to be a lot safer, but this area is also of course, aware stuff comes in to ukraine from your not only humanitarian aid, but also

a lot of this sophisticated military equipment that has been promised by nato the missiles that take it down at take down air craft under our anti tank missiles. and so there is a very strategic importance to this western part of the country and that is not lost on the russians themselves. i think there is a concern here the while levine has escaped a lot of the conflict so far that it now becomes far more targeted by the russian. so as we have seen that, that life is continued pretty much as normal here. there is still food in the shops . people go about their day to day business in the streets. but i think from this friday that war has gotten to feel a lot a lot more real and a lot closer to levine itself is it certainly sounds like a significant development rod. and there's been another breaking found the ukrainian now military. what was said then that's why this is a daily briefing that is given her by the president's office just on the military

situation. and again, there is nothing too dramatic to report, but it does give a sense of just how this grinds on from, from day to day, according to the re ukrainians. the possessions of the russians have not changed dramatically. there have been various attempts by russian forces in different parts of the country to push ahead according to the ukrainians. they have repelled those advances and in the process they are claiming that they have shot down at 10 more russian aircraft o b, they helicopters are or may be droned aircraft. they don't do specifically a specify and also claiming that this could never be verified. but according to the ukrainians, that as a sign of what they say is russian desperation, they are seeing more or less trained cadets and rule recruits being pushed into the fight by the russians. but as i said, this is a claim by other ukrainian say, what is it, any war going to be a battle between claim and counter claim. thank you very much. running pride live

for us in that living. the presidents are of the us and china have spoken to each other for the 1st time since november, washington wants to stop begging from providing military and economic help to vladimir putin. chinese stamp media report says she has told biden that conflict is not in any one's interests. following developments is what has corresponding kimberly hallett. hello there. kimberly. thanks for joining us. what is the why has said about this discussion between the 2 ladies? well, the white house has said that it believes that it is necessary to have this conversation not only to keep the channels of communication open, but given the fact that china abstained from that recent un security council vote. that essentially was designed to really put on the history books where nations stood over the fact that russia had invaded ukraine. the fact that it did not want

to participate in that vote, that it really needed to know where china stood and all of this. and that's the reason for this call in the words of the white house press secretary, the absence of that denunciation by china speaks volumes. so that was a major focal point of this phone call that we know lasted roughly 2 hours, was taken in the situation room of the white house, a secure location, and what the real concern of the west, as well as the united states, is, is that i increasingly, there have been reports concerning reports that china has been supporting russia even militarily in its efforts on the ground in ukraine, as well as in the air supplying military equipment for example. and so as a result, the u. s. is trying to work with chinese president. she the fact that joe biden has somewhat of a relationship with the chinese leader is something he's hoping to leverage in order to potentially try in eve. and i encourage chinese president,

she to use his leverage over vladimir putin. his economic ties to russia, to even bring about a potential cease fire in this conflict and can bleed certainly no secret in washington and beijing's relationship has been shaky to say the lays. can you give us a context in the lead up to this fund cole, in terms of the relationship between the 2 men? it's been tense for many years. there's been no secret that the united states has long accused china backdoor espionage of stealing trade secrets. whether it be on the business or in the science field, say, here in the united states that has been exacerbated by the previous president, donald trump, of course, a lunch to trade war with china. but it's important to note that even as you, as president joe biden said that he has a good working relationship with chinese president. she, he did not lift those tariffs of some $350000000000.00 of chinese goods into the

united states that were put a place by donald trump. so those tensions economically remained. so there's been this sort of backdrop to this call. and the real concern for the united states and also the west is the fact that that chinese president, she is, is watching the actions of vladimir whom very carefully and, and his invasion of ukraine may actually spur the chinese leader to read invade taiwan. something that we know has been as sort of a desire of his for some time. and so that is another reason for this call is to really try and pin down where the chinese leader is discouraged. those actions which the u. s. as opposed to and also to try and again, keep that conversation open. the white house press secretary very clear that the

united states believes it is better to talk with adversaries than to close down those channels in the hopes of working through some of these differences in order to achieve shared goals. ok, thank you very much and let us know if you hear anything more about this conversation. kimberly, how could our white house correspondent ok, russia has once again accused ukraine of hosting a secret biological weapons program. it made the claims of the un security council . the us ambassador to the un says moscow is spinning conspiracy theories, and setting the stage to use chemical weapons against to ukraine. russia put simply, the ukrainian, or authorities gave the pentagon caught blanche on the territory. the crane to carry out dangerous biological experiments that are going to go. this is not the noble assistance to ukraine, that the american representatives talk about. this is a cynical use of its territory and population for dangerous research, which washington does not carry out on its own territory. so it doesn't run the

risk of hurting its own people. you would you say, last week we heard from the russian representative a tirade, a bizarre conspiracy theories. this week we're hearing a whole lot more where that came from. things that sound like they were forwarded to him on a chain email from some dark corner of the internet. president biden has a word for this kind of talk. malarkey. as i said one week ago, ukraine does not have a biological weapon program. there are no ukrainian biological weapons laboratories, not near russia's. busy fodder, not anywhere. over moscow rushes president vladimir persian has praised the war in ukraine as a success in the

whole large crown who gathered at a concert to celebrate used in russia and next crimea. western late as regard moscow's 2014 takeover of the peninsula. as a legal food and also praised russian troops and repeated the gremlins claim that fighting neo nazis in ukraine deal of the crime means and semester pull. residents have put a barrier to new nazis and extreme nationalism because what is happening and other territory is the confirmation of that people living. and don bass also did not agree to this coo against the punishing operations were started. they were shelled by guns and aircraft. this is what is called genocide dosage. barry is in moscow with more on that rally. vladimir putin made a brief speech, but his deb specific message was one of an unity and dead. he said that they know what they need to do, and they will, they know how to do it and they will at do it at any cost. he also praised the

soldiers that are carrying out what he calls a special military operation in ukraine. and he said that there isn't, there hasn't been this sense of unity in his country for a very long time as a result of what is taking place in ukraine. he also said that they will continue at this alteration until they achieve their a desired bowles. and he also said that it is the united states that is trying to tear russia apart using ukraine a to do that. he was very much am trying to resurrect the very at patriotic are feeling in that stadium. and we saw a number of banners that read that for a world without an naziism and for russia. and we also saw people and with the letter zed on their clothing or drawn out on their faces, that is a letter that is now become associated with this patriotic movement in support of the war. a vladimir putin finished his speech by quoting a czarist era admiral,

who is now the patron sate of the countries nuclear bomb earth fleet. and before leaving the stage. and he said that at these threats will say, will serve for the glory of russia. and that's how it was, and that's how it will always be. russian warships have begun shelling odessa where she is bracing foreign invasion. ukraine's a 3rd largest cities on the black sea coast. and is home to more than a 1000000 people hotter abdel hum. it is following the situation in odessa. these russian war 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 city is bracing himself. the beaches have been mind if you go around the city, this check points everywhere,

all the historic center of the city. just behind me there has been completely field off. you need a special permission to get in. then all the residents allowed to get there 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. busy for tours where they can try all the, the salad. well if you go inside, it's really a distracted activity, collecting medicine, water, food maps, blankets, all sorts of things that can help. what if indeed, is an assault and the also to be sent to nikolai of which is about an hour and a half or know, 2 hours i would say at least drive from here to the north east. did the russians and the ukrainian army there they've been fighting overnight from what we understand. the cleaning army is still holding ground and the rushes are not

advancing at the 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 turn still. hey, john al jazeera britain pulls the plug on r c u k. regulated say the russian channel isn't a fit and proper broadcaster, and facing decades behind bars, for protesting. more than $100.00 anti government demonstrate is a jailed in cuba. ah ah, look forward to scores with sponsored cuts on it weighs hello there. the pre monsoon he is dominated india this week on much of the southeast region. we are seeing those heat wave advisories and warnings lasting

through the weekend for places like raja sun and goods. right. we can also see some hot winds blow up some dust in this region, but it is a largely hot and dry picture, much of northern areas. if you unsettled conditions, pulling into the very north of india and pakistan and down in the south, what we're seeing from coastal showers kiss into carola over the weekend should anchor seen some heavy rain as well. but it's really the nic about an and an island that has seen a wet and windy weather swirling away that could develop into a system next week. we'll keep an eye on that. now as we move across to central asia, much of the weather story is dominated by japan was seen more heavy snow and sleet for her kind o. as that low pressure works its way away from tokyo was seen the temperature recover. here was the, the temperature recover in sol as well as that which we mix pulled away from the korean peninsula. and it's a similar story for beijing. the temperatures are going to be on the rise by the

time we get into sunday and they'll be clear skies and sunshine on monday that should weather update. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always no place. and so i gone would say press, retreated to the car about a media hub and vital vantage point. during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see the regulation at the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict of viet now were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war saigon caravel war hotels. on all j 0 lou. ah ah,

hello. are you watching out a 0? i'm emily anglin. he's a reminder of our top stories. this our, the ukrainian capital cave has been hit by russian shelling a residential building in padilla school district of the city was hit by part of a russian missile. emergency crews had been searching for the survivors. the mile moscow has again accused ukraine of hosting a secret and biological weapons program in made the claims at the un security council. the us ambassador to be un says moscow is spinning, conspiracy theories, and setting the sage to use chemical weapons against to ukraine and russia. president vladimir putin has praised the war in ukraine as a success at a concert in moscow, he appeared before large crowds who gathered to celebrate 8 years since russia annexed crimea. let's give the latest on the days developments across the ukraine

at now. starting with the rush is attack in the western city of la wave, where it same bears robbie, fall, this report. within minutes of early morning air raid sirens throughout the city. russian missiles had targets near levine international airport, shattering once again, the sense of relative safety here in the west of ukraine. before the big position was split, the air read boarding system work and i'm grateful to the armed forces as they reacted some missiles which were launched from the black sea area, were intercept 4. missiles, hit an aircraft repair plant. as you already know, there have been some attacks in this part of the country. a training company operative last week, and a military posted in airfield, near lutes. but the friday morning, airport strike is the closest, the war has come to the city of levine. so far as you see behind me, smoke is still rising from the area that was hit. we've been stopped from going any further any closer to the areas that we're head by the strikes police have pushed

us back twice. we've tried to go over the bridge, but we've been sent back to this area here. so we can't get a clear view of what's happening, but the smoke that continues to below, over the skies over the city certainly tells you that something definitely was hit and it's still on fire. in the eastern city of car keys, a college building was shell, killing one person entering 11 and trapping another in the rubble. the city is home to one of the largest markets in eastern europe, and it remains on fire, sparked by shelling on thursday. another shelling and crumbs tours killed to an endurance and the capital also attack the mayor of key visited the nursery in school. he says was targeted by russian rockets, killing one child and wounding 23. in a rather it ah, for the fuel filter or worse from russia landed here, you can see a big crater would have what's terrible is that there is a massively lighter for houses have been damaged. you can see their condition was their windows have been blown out and they have been rendered unfit for living with

maybe a talking mostly civilian targets is proof. ukrainian officials say that russia is choosing not to fight ukrainian troops. instead hitting the country's most vulnerable. you don't walk when the enemies strike against the city of the river is another proof that it does not fight ukrainian troops. it fights population, children and women refugee. so if there is nothing sacred for them, same bus raphael, 0 love. if he cranes, president says survivors are being pulled from the rabble or destroyed, see to in mary a palm. the government says civilians including children were hiding there when it was bombed by russia. the kremlin denies this terrible oak upon the mc doddle. yet rescue operations are continuing at the side of the merry pole theatre where civilians were sheltering with manage to save more than a 135 people. but a lot of others are still there and we will continue the work to save them vicious . and russia's defense ministry says it's only

a matter of days before it's forces take full control of that southern city of mary palm. heavy fighting has again broken out in the city center rule as you would have to give you the rosa de lu. hans forces with the support of russia heavily pirated or 90 percent of the territory in lou hunched republic forces from lou hands and donna's republic are closing in on mary paul to fight to nationalists in the city. that said sidney pro, where as said bank has more on the fighting in mary paul and several other cities. the russians are fighting on many fronts near the city of mario, poland. as you heard from the russians, they feel like this only a matter of days before they take it over. but currently, the ukrainian force is off holding out. now you understand that russian forces are on the streets, but we don't know how much of that city that they have taken. and hamster ukrainian still holds this current point in time. that is a strategic port city to the east of it,

or is russia but also the separatist controlled areas. and the size is de crimea, and peninsula, which was annexed by russia back in 2014. this also important to stay is not just the russians are fighting, to take control of marable, they've been supported by separatists from the, the hands and dentist regions are the dunbar regions. so this is quite intensive what's taking place and it has been a great deal of concern about the humanitarian situation. is a city of over 450000 people and it has been besieged now to the north of us. here is the 2nd largest city ukraine clark gave. no, that's mean under constant bombardment. it strikes on a missile strikes. and that city had about 1500000 people. and they did have 1500000 people. but from what we've been seeing is taken a lot of damage, but ukrainian forces are still holding out. so yes, the russians are fighting on mont multiple fronts, trying to put pressure on the ukrainians and trying to gain more territory. britain

has switched off the russian government. i'd say news channel. the kremlin says the decision to revoke tease broadcast license is madness. the u. k. regulator off. com rama says cannot be considered a fit in profit broadcaster the channels coverage of the crime war was subject to 29 separate investigations into what critics describe as state sponsored propaganda report it in a day barbara has been following developments from london. 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 r t 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 had said that off . com, with this judgment, has shown that despite a well constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more than a tool of government bending to its media suppressing will. and scott griffin is

deputy director of the international press institute. he says the move needs to be carefully scrutinized from our point to view any time that is bad or sanctioned in this way. very, very serious position. no matter the circumstances. and any type of decision, such as the one that has taken should be subject to very strict scrutiny. but even if there are a precedent, having said that, i do think it is important to point out that the job to look into whether broadcasters have the license of hold basic standards, including the issue of impartiality. com has concluded that that is not the case for russia today. it's new, but it is in principle legitimate for independent regulators issues and come to

a decision. now that is a different question of whether the decision itself is grounded and the right one circumstances. there is no question that russia today extremely closely made to the russian government, which is much more of aggression on the neighbor. and what is also true, as i can pointed out, environment for media freedom independent journalism in russia, is under immense repression is indeed all impossible to carry out. it is that in journalism, within russia, and it is on the basis of this. but i did that in russia today, i cannot be considered in a position to hold these and partially ruled. i skipped some other world news now and dozens of protest is in cuba who joined a nationwide revolt against communist rule last year had been jailed for up to 30 years. $127.00 of them were convicted for treason and vandalism. he is a latin america editor, the scene 19 year old orlando kind of

many cases, longer than for far more severe crimes. 19 year old daniela alexander the gospels, husband. yes. yes. is one of them. i live in the law. he's losing all his you of is life. as a youngster. he says he feels like dying. the vast majority of the accused or young people so far, only one person has been acquitted, no may a 3rd year. while the prosecution insists the due process is being guaranteed. family members and actors charged that the trials lack transparency and that the penalties are disproportionately long and harsh when i'm on. if it was, you know, president miguel diaz canal accuses the united states of inciting them as protests . ah, the harsh penalties against them send an unequivocal message to disgruntled cubans that there is a high price de.
