cold. we just want to go home woman. young faces still manage a smile in these unimaginable time. soon as she finished, she would, russian, everything is going to be okay. she tells her children, it will end soon. vladimir putin says russian forces are not targeting civilians the ground. the reality tells a very different story. stephanie decker, al jazeera in western ukraine. some of the fastest fighting has been in east and ukraine, where many soldiers have died in the ne, per, as a bag. witness the funerals of more than 20 troops. a final farewell. but many of these 23 soldiers don't have relatives here to move there on the other side of the front line. their comrades stand, god paying a fine. the tribute ur dc. yeah, yep. robert push ro,

chest or the domino or join this unit recently is an honor for me. as part of my family and stay, the mom was snatched away from our military family. we are very deeply her. we feel emotional fluffy, he gave his life for our country. may he rest in peace? he will always be remembered. may god take him to a better place because it's a holy deed when one sacrifices himself for his country together with his motto. yeah, oh, it's the last family they had. oh, priests say the final pres and coffins are taken on their final journey, far from the soldier's homes, with no certainty, their parents, siblings, or partners, will ever get to visit their final resting place. although we should just do not, sir, what was be we've got the most wealthy soldiers fell at the battle of vulnerable her. most of them were brought here from their unfortunately some of them were very

young. i'm sorry, this is very difficult to me, but very young men have died while protecting ukraine. protecting all of us the war in the east is fierce and the russians appeared to be slowly, but surely grinding the ukrainians. gang with ukrainian forces continued to resist . russian artillery has pounded the 2nd largest city club cave and the port city of mary upon the freezing graveyard of denise pro. far from killing the will to resist losses on the battlefield. further fused, the anger was neither to build non forms to bolster ticket monster. all we can think of his revenge, revenge avenging our men. this gives us motivation to protect our country. it's the only way the conflict in the east has been going on since invasion of crimean 2014 and estimated 14000 people have been killed these

latest casualties. since the recent russian invasion this graveyard is full of young men that have died from this conflict. but the reality is, as long as this war goes on, more will follow. as at beg, i'll jazeera than april. yes, present, enjoy biden. has warned his chinese counterpart, jean pang of consequences if beijing provides material support to russian forces attacking ukraine. the lead a spike on the phone for nearly 2 hours. china so far, refused to condemn russia's invasion. a present g did say the fighting in ukraine is in no one's interests. whitehouse hasn't specified what if any, the consequences would be we have a range of tools that could be considered. and sanctions are certainly one tool in the toolbox as they are for other countries as well, even if we as we have not outline specific consequences and we'll,

we'll communicate those directly to china. and of course with our european partners and counterparts. whitehouse corresponding kimmy holcombe has moved. we know that it lasted for about 2 hours or nearly 2 hours was actually a video conference type call. that took place of the white house situation room and according to a white house official, it was stamped of it was detailed and it focused mostly on ukraine and why this call took place. had a lot to do with the concerns by the weston that essentially up until now that china had been playing both sides in this conflict. and there was a feeling that there was a need of china to essentially condemn russia's actions or at least denounced them . and that had not occurred thus far, and there was a hope that that would be achieved in this phone call. but according to this read out, that has not happened and as well, what we also see in this is that there has been really no effort on the part of

china to, in any way use its leverage to bring about as cease fire. and that was something that there was at least a goal going into this, the, the part of the, by the ministration. they were hoping that they might at least be able to encourage china to try and uses economic leverage with russia to at least begin that discussion. that was also absent from this read out. instead, what we have seen from this read out is that the u. s. president underscored the cost to china if it continues to support russia. we have had reports that there has been some support militarily, by the chinese supplying military equipment for russia, for example. so, not a lot of what the white house was hoping would be achieved in this call appears to be in the read out. instead, what we know, it's a lot of reiterating of what we have seen in recent weeks, and that is that the white house is outlined consequences,

but it has not been able to achieve sort of a moving of the needle even further in the direction that it was hoping for. russia's president, vladimir pierson, his praise, the war and ukraine as a success. he appeared before large crowds gathered at a concert to celebrate 8 years since russia annex crimea, and its met reports from moscow. this was a powerful show of patriotism in moscow. russia's biggest stadium was filled to its 81000 capacity to celebrate 8 years since the annexation of crimea, or as it's called here, the reunification and everywhere. the said, the sign, the 1st appeared on russian military vehicles in ukraine, and has now become a symbol of support for russia's war. there. i'd be, it was a stage set for vladimir putin who told the crowd that the united states is using ukraine to threaten russia. it is, is that the soldiers fighting their illustrated russian unity delete your bleach.

you showed that a shoulder, they help each other support each other i easily and when needed, they shield each other from bullets with their bodies like brothers. but such unity we have not had for a long time. napoleon, a survey after the 1st week of the war, showed that what the crumbling calls its special operation in ukraine. we supported by 58 percent of russians that have been attempts to protest against the war. but they are quickly, often brutally suppressed. but others are finding ways to voice their opposition, such as this art group called party of the dead, protesting somewhere in russia, with her teachers against the young brain. we are practically living on a war footing. there is no way for it not to affect us any more. we have to fight this war, and those were stoking at keeping it going and are prepared to take it to some catastrophic finale that show of descent won't get covered by russian television. but friday's flag waving in moscow. another city's will,

though you won't hear that ukraine says it's fighting for survival of the west, dismiss his accusations that it wants to rip russia apart. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow. my mother laudermill polanski has criticized peyton's rally in his latest video. ukrainian president also called once again for meaningful peace and security. talks with muska just over 80 must have just this is the time to meet . this is the time to speak time to restore territorial integrity and fairness for ukraine. otherwise, the losses of russia will be such that you won't have any resources to get up. after that, we'll have to see, to day in russia, they celebrate the annexation of crimea. i would like to highlight one detail, they reported that overall there were 200000 people participating, 100000 outside and approximately 95000 in the stadium. this is the exact number of the russian manpower involved in the invasion of ukraine. $14000.00 dead bodies and

hundreds of thousands of wounded. this is the exact number of russian forces during this war. this is the price in just over 3 weeks. first we 3 bolting countries, have ordered the expulsions of russian embassy staff, estonia, latvian, lithuanian, say they have taken coordinated action of solidarity with ukraine. title of 10 russian diplomats to be expelled. russia has vowed to respond to keesing, the countries of unjustified dismissals. sla, head on out his era, how tensions over the warn ukraine could threaten collaboration aboard the international space station. and ah, we are full from the catacombs if odessa, where people are taking shelter in old style minds that will once he's is neatly bunker. ah,

ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored play cattle airways. hello, we've got windsor playing a last hurrah. we hope across japan, and maybe it's northern parts of china as well. we've had some snow recently pushing across beijing and other areas now making its way across the korean peninsula. this area of low pressure will bring yet more sleet and snow into northern parts of japan. as our latest part is snow, just pushing its way across the korean peninsula, western areas of japan seeing further snow flowers as we go through sat they elevated avalanche risk as a result of fats. it does sweep through quickly though i'm pleased to say to one or 2 when she flies, but no in there as watch. but as we go one into sunday, brightest guys back into the korean peninsula, 9 celsius for so non celsius in the sunshine to for beijing mindset is in the rain for shanghai. some heavy downpours coming into central parts of china, turning

a little disturb across southern areas over the next few days, with a scattering of showers, quite a scattering of showers to across much of southeast asia as per usual seasonal rains setting in here. and we have got some rather lively showers, just pushing their way our parts of the gulf of thailand into the adam and say keeping a close eye on this one. because this developing system may well develop into a tropical storm as it makes his way further northwards. next week, oh, the weather sponsored by catera always no place in saigon would say the press retreated of the car about a media hub and vital vantage point during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see evacuation at the american embassy where the most iconic images of the conflict of vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war, saigon, caravel war hotels. on all g 0. ah

ah, you watch me out. as a reminder, our top story is this. our thousands of people stranded in the ukrainian port city of moto that's being bombarded by russian forces as they try to seize control. russian troops now reportedly approaching the city center, russian president vladimir putin, his prize before and ukraine, a success at a concert in moscow. the appeared before large crowds who gathered to celebrate 8 years since russia annex crimea, the presidents of china in the us of hel, their 1st star, i talk since november, tony's date media report says using ping,

told joe biden to warn you. craig is not in interest. are russian forces have been expanding their offensive in ukraine and hissing cities further west. for the 1st time, there misses landed in the city of la viv, hitting an aircraft repassed site near an airport. same bas ravi wraps up developments from that and across you. great. 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. booth at reagan, all region, was flipped off. their reporting system worked ungrateful to the armed forces as they reacted to some missiles, which were launched from the black sea area were intercepted, 4 missiles hit, an aircraft repair plot. as you already know, there have been some attacks on this part of the country. a training company operative last week and a military posted an airfield near luc. 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 were hit by the strikes. the 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 is still on fire. in the eastern city of car keys, a college building was shelled, killing one person, injuring 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 showing on thursday, another showing in crockett tours killed to an interesting russian rockets continued to pound the capital keith as well. a nursery and school targeted on friday, killing one child, injuring $23.00 attacks hitting mostly civilian targets is proof. ukrainian

officials say that russia is choosing not to fight ukrainian troops instead hitting the country's most vulnerable. yet, how can people in russia be so stupid and let this happen? how come russians don't understand that putin is not defending russian speaking people in ukraine. he simply went mad. that said, this is what i think because the same person would never do anything like this. in the central square of the view of the country's cultural capital, an installation highlights the most innocent victims of war among the thousands of ukrainian dead. 109 empty prams symbolizing 109 infants killed in a conflict where the death toll increases every day. then basra, the l. g 0, live russian worships, have been shelling odessa, which is bracing for russian invasion. odessa z crane's 3rd largest city home to more than 1000000 people that's located on the black sea coast. and her c crating

navies headquarters, which moved them off to russia. annex crimea, in 2014. it also handles around 65 percent of ukrainian c, cargo. that makes it a lifeline to the outside world. if russia seizes odessa will effectively cut off ukraine from overseas trade and military aid. all the adul, hamid reports. ah, when the sirens go off, people head to the shelter in odessa is deep underground in the so called catacombs, all stone mines, excavated through times. and her children have been coming and going from here since the beginning of the war. they have supplies ready for the long hold. i think it will just look a look. we have water here with the blankets. we have to sleep here with matt and to inflatable mattresses. and here we keep food,

a lot of different things. biscuits, liver, patty, and different kinds of food. i have the passports and all the documents in my bag. as soon as i hear the sirens, i pick up the children and come down here. this is the largest urban labyrinth in the world, and portions of it have been prepared for civilians to hide about a 1000 can fit in this part. down here it's a different world. you can't hear anything of what's happening above the about 2500 kilometers of tunnels and passageways. now this place has already been used as a shelter during previous wars. and during the cold war, it was designated as a nuclear bunker sections of it could also be used by the military to move under cover. the city is under threat of a 3 pronged at that from the north east, the black sea and a northwest. my whole own uses which only cusack is we wouldn't, you know, the main risk today is an amphibious landing,

russia the trying to put psychological pressure on ukrainians by shelling from the sea and from the sky. we are with global official america. they are trying to demonstrate their strength. they certainly have it, but our defense system is ready to repel any attack unless they are probing over defenses to find wilder gl points and mark them as targets mar. around the city, volunteers are preparing for the worst. this food, whole, usually bustling with doris, is now the headquarters of the humanitarian effort sponsored by some of the most influential business people of odessa, the public libraries. one of the few places still open, but here no more books in russia. and since the conflict started in 2014, russia's great authors can be found translated in ukrainian tucked under upper floor. i'll lay em football if the kid or thies game, but ukrainian odessa is not as small as it might seem. and there is no need to support the russian narratives. the odessa was

a russian city and speaks only russian. no, like, i think the people now switching to ukrainian i really hope that a decimal not returned to pro russian narrative any more. explosions and air sirens are heard more often every day and night. a sign that for a distance from the light at the end of the tunnel may still be far away. without that humming al jazeera odessa in southern ukraine. united nations security council has matter to discuss allegations that the u. s. is funding biological weapons research in ukraine? yes, denies the claim. question fleming is at un headquarters in york. russia called the meeting to present what it described as new evidence, a u. s. supported biological research laboratory in the ukraine posed a threat to the region brochure. their grades, he was devoted to by women golf war, put simply, the ukrainian authorities gave the pentagon carte blanche on the territory of ukraine to carry out dangerous biological experiments. there. 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. in the u. s. denies any chemical weapons programs exist. it is russia that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law. it is russia that has a well documented history of using chemical weapons. it is russia who is the aggressor here. the united states also warned that russia may very well be planning its own chemical weapons attacked, using a false flag allegation to justify it. it was the 2nd time in 2 weeks that the security council met on the subject at russia's request, the u. s. hi,

representative for disarmament said they had no evidence of chemical or biological weapons, but she also conceded that the united nations currently has night or the mandate, nor did technical or operational capacity to investigate dis, invest in information. i asked the united kingdom's ambassador if that undermines their argument, if there is a genuine concern, the right thing to do would be to seal off the site. i have a ceasefire seatle for site and then allow experts in to investigate. it is not the right thing to do to bring spurious claims to the un security council which ought debunked by every one that blue countries like china in brazil called for just such an independent investigation under the biological weapons convention which prohibits their use. meantime, daily attacks continue to batter ukraine, many of them indiscriminate according to the united nations cause of damage to civilian infrastructure and mounting casualties. kristin, silly me al jazeera,

the united nations for a russian cosmonaut have arrived at the international space station there, the fast space crew to launch since rushes invasion of ukraine. and it's raising questions about how political tensions will affect global space exploration catch. hello, best hood a yet reports. first through the hatch is denise might be of 3 hours after taking off from a spaceport in context. on this team of 3 russian, cosmo knots made it to the international space station. or i s. s. first to hatch was of course the cough. they receive the warm welcome from the american and german counterparts, but back home tensions among their governments are mounting over rushes, invasion of ukraine, who are less than 30 minutes away from us sanctions targeting moscow space program have been followed by threats from russia. the country space agency chief supports the war and has warned you as president joe biden. the sanctions could cause

a crash if you block cooperation with us. he rode who will save the i assess from an uncontrolled d orbit and falling on the us or europe international approach. the u. s. provides the i assess with power and rushes. equipment maintains the correct orbit, keeping it away from space chunk. nasa is downplaying, the threats was wide. all of that up in space. we can have a cooperation with our rushing char carly sh. the professional relationship which william astor march in plasma. not it hasn't missed the b, but collaboration has weakened. the european space agency sounded suspending participation in a rushing european mission to land rover on mars space. craft launches have been cancelled in contracts broken over the war. it's a bit awkward. the rest of the space industry has been thrown into turmoil by the

ukraine war. you know, a western satellite so we're meant to go up on russian rockets. they're now stranded. and yet at the i s s, it's as if nothing had happened. they say no, we're, we're, we're going to carry on as before. they kind of half do at some level because they've got so much money invested in this, their exclusion credential. political tensions now threatened to further weaken years of shared collaboration between bratia, the us and as western allies. as earth bound politics, winter follows and to space. party locus of the young al jazeera question has switched off the russian government, auntie news channel. the u. k. regulator off come says auntie cannot be considered a fit, and proper bo costa channels. coverage of the ukraine was subject to $29.00 separate investigations and to what critics describe states on said propaganda. the criminal says the decision to revoke the bull cost license is madness. the deem other

has responded angrily, edge deputy editor in chief on a balcony. that says, vert, off column is in her view. nothing more than a tool of government bending to its media, suppressing will. so a lot of pushback from a channel on from the criminal in fact, which is called to move here. madness ah observe easy top stories as, as of people stranded in the ukranian port, marian polt cities being bombarded by russian forces as they tried to seize control . several buildings had been reduced to rubble with russian troops now reportedly in the 50 ukrainian president vladimir lansky as again cold and meaningful peace and security talks with moscow as hannah's patrol is she but.
