all that's left of this woman's home and some no longer had the energy or will to leave. she just used just was muscle wizard, wiley, the city now after what we've been through, we've had difficult days with bombing hunger and cold weather. as you can see, our neighbourhood is destroyed. mutual on there. as old lives are left behind. some have found shelter and local schools with another humanitarian crisis unfolding. katya lucas will again al jazeera all zero's him on can't just now live from ukraine's capital cave. saw him around ukraine's president vulgar zalinski, who's accused russia of committing war crimes. and maria paul, what's the latest you're hearing from their well, for mario, paul, it's the city that has almost been completely destroyed. certainly the center of it has been attacked actually by land, by air, and by sea. ah,

not only has the central, the city been attacked, but civilian targets have been hit. in huge number, i have to say not only residential blocks, but places where people are taking shelter. we just heard in my colleague that is revolt there. about the drama center. there was housing children. i actually had children written in front of that that was hit by russian attacks and that as really angered vladimir zalinski is worth actually going over some of his comments . again, they're incredibly powerful. he said that the port city variable was a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come. and he said to do this to a peaceful city is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come. he said, and he went on to talk about the piece talk. he said that they were unpleasant, but they were necessary. now this 2 assessments going on right now when it comes to, ah, ukraine. firstly, it's on the eastern side of ukraine where the russians are making some games. now,

they've already got crimea that was annexed in 2014, if they can get her the city of mary paul and the rest of the reasons in dumbass that gives them a significant chunk of the east here in key. what's happening is butcher and paying the 2 towns where the ukrainians are fighting with the russians. that's a big front line. there are what the ukrainians doing are now pushing against those russian forces. they've been in defensive mode for about a week now. they're now we're hearing that this particular morning. they are in offensive my dell going after that, but they've done that before and is very much a kind of offensive counter offensive. most western intelligence reports as adjusting that actually the, the advance into care of has stalled. and that's certainly what we're seeing. they haven't moved beyond entertain so far. so a very bleak, a situation report when it comes to mario full when it comes to the east and on bus ridden,

but the ukrainians are fighting back here outside the city. and they're in the capital of volunteer forces emerged to help those who haven't been able to flee the city. what's really interesting, adrian, a disproportionate amount of people left in the city are people with simply nowhere else to go there. the l. delevie, infirm people without families and they are stuck here. a lot of people left in the opening days of the war. the city is actually 50 percent evacuated, a number of people have actually come back younger people because they realized that there were people in the city who didn't have any help. and they'd come back to help them on the people that remained behind, or actually using their own money out of their own pocket to help those that are left behind. let's take a closer look. it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service. ah,

without any external funding. anya and her friends deliver groceries and basic goods to some of the most vulnerable and keep some the goods are donated but most a paid for by the volunteers themselves. level home to who i always wanted to room and tear and work i dont have grandparents so this house you can say to her that it really comes from my heart said maria rarely leaves the house. she's too frail to make the journey. and the elevator in her building is best described as temperamental. she stayed in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers should be completely alone and hungry and thirsty won't gentlemen. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have a niece who could help mad public transport this child, so she can't get here. right now i don't need anything because then brought me things, but this won't last long. all the volunteers work under the umbrella of an organization

called love life which existed before the war to help the homeless and vulnerable. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine still operating and demand for services for outstrips its capacity to cope, the organization has changed the way operates. it identifies the most vulnerable people and post them on a private social media channel volunteers and make the deliveries navigating the cities, many checkpoints, and anti tank barricades. and it's not just home delivery, kitchens and roadside chaos have also become a frontline of salt in the war effort. most of the restaurants across the city are shut, but the kitchens are open and the chefs are working. now they might not be making their usual cuisines. what they doing is they're making home style cuisines that then volunteers pick up and bring to distribution points like these. and it is a lifeline for many. this might be the one hot meal that they get

a day american out there gave the frontline to the of car keys has been relentlessly targeted. since the start of the war. there's a desperate search for survivors and the ruins of buildings out there as, as had beg reports. now from ne, in ukraine. well, this is one, the worst hit areas of hurricane. the 2nd largest city in ukraine had a population of 1500000. that's been drastically reduced cuz many people have left now this to the left of me here was a shopping mall. just take a look at that. now. this city has been pounded by the russians with air strikes, shelling and artillery, and were standing right now was the center of the city. and you can just see that is complete and utter destruction and devastation. now, the feeling that the russians thought that they could take the city without too much resistance, but they were forced out under the feeling by some head that now the russians are punishing this. since you have to be careful ahead because the temperature the

world blows the are the still ice on the floor. this craters along had these cars here, have all been destroyed and damaged a bit further up the you can see the burn tank cause that were damaged, the shelling and the artillery. and even while you've been here, we've heard loud thumbs. i'm not sure if you can hear that now that's heavy artillery filing that fire and that's going gone all day and all night. and if you look a lot wrong along the horizon, you can see the smoke rising from the heavy fighting that's taking place. now the russians pardoning the city re heavily for the last 2 weeks, but the ukrainian forces are still holding out and hoping that they can keep the russians act. and it's like the across the east of the country with the russians, a fighting on multiple fronts. but i just want you to take in some more of the devastation, destruction that has taken place here in the center of her keith. you can see

cause buried in the rebel. when the buildings have collapsed on it, even the trees, hair destroyed and burned tight. it's really something oh, we're in the center of clark eve. the 2nd largest city with the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out. so to come here on al jazeera, a protest in space, russia denies the cosmos, were making a statement by wearing the colors a few cranes, flag, and bridging the political and cultural divide. and exhibition of persian art in new york office of insight into modern day iran. ah ah.

hello, we got a lovely spring sunshine across much of nolan year, a big area of high fresh air and it's going to warm up as we go through the next couple of days. it's not particularly warm at present, but that is a strong area of high pressure. it means largely clear skies early morning program frost for the time big as i said, it will warm up. the unsettled weather is further south. the remnants of storm cbs still bring you some live the showers in across the western side of the mediterranean. there we go on the temperatures, so not too bad. temperature is about whether should be for central pass, or you have still a cool site down towards that southeast corner. but as we go through the next couple of days, like a sunday, 13th celsius, there in berlin from 11 degrees in london, happy low, the average. it will warm up monday. 14 could touch 17 by tuesday, be 19 by wednesday. and there's that warmth into central parts is gonna be absolutely a lovely then. not too bad at the moment. lastly, clear skies to want to shout just around the low countries where to well still in place that out across southern parts of france,

that western side of the mediterranean, spite of portugal saints and bits and pieces of cloud and ray. we have got some shall assessed the lingering down towards the southeast and corner showers to across northern parts of africa. quite a brisk wind and showers for west africa. ah frank assessments for china? well, bannister from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot yet informed opinions amongst our needs, and on that scale critical debate with claims that need to constitutes an interest and she'll thread 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, like the

ah, hello again, this is al jazeera. let's remind you of the main news. the south koreans president followed me as lensky as accused russia of committing war crimes. and the port city of maria poll. zalinski says that the siege will be remembered for centuries, as he pleaded for an end to the war. lily 4000 people managed to leave maria paul on saturday. ukrainian officials expect further departures out of the city throughout sunday. and in hoc eve rescue walkers have been searching for survivors of the ruins of buildings. russian forces relentlessly targeted the city. since the start of the invasion prussia, as president vladimir putin has insisted that the invasion of ukraine is an operation to demilitarized and d, nazi fi, the country,

a group of holocaust scholars says that this, his claim that the government is pro nazi is factually wrong. and morally repugnant, but a number of far right militias have emerged in ukraine since the conflict in the east began in 2014, including the ultra nationalist as of battalion, which is now integrated into the army. analysts have argued that integration rained in the battalion and routed out neo nazis in its ranks. but some us politicians say that it should be designated a terrorist group. that in recent years that been multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine, which prompted the government to introduce new penalties. cynthia miller address is the author of hate in the homeland the new global far right. she says the putins talk of deed notification is propaganda. but maintains that extremism is an issue, a new crane. ukraine, like other military is a german military. the u. s. military has had

a problem with the far right extreme. it them white supremacist among their ranks. it's a minority problem, a very small percentage, but it's a persistent problem. and in ukraine, that problem has grown since 2014 as ultra nationalists factions and militia, as we're clashing with pro russian separatists, you know, or with russia itself and, and have drawn foreign fighters from overseas. again, not all of whom were far right in nature, but some of them are. and that is what we're seeing now to is that there's some recruitment and mobilization happening among global white supremacists to go to ukraine and use this opportunity to, to gain tactical training and combat experience. they may not really have any political objectives in mind related to ukraine, but it's an opportunity to gain the training it to recruit to, to fundraise. so that's the danger is that people are going there. the other danger, of course,

is that people go there because they want to defend ukraine and then become radicalized while they're there because they get into a mix of people to have this idea, logical views once they're there. so again, it's a minority problem, but that doesn't mean we, you know, we can dismiss the propaganda while still acknowledging that there is a small problem that has to be dealt with and that could exacerbate, have some ripple effects. after this conflict is over. russian cosmonaut said dismissed reports with a yellow flight suits, with blue stripes, were inspired by the ukrainian flag. it is the 1st crew to arrive at the international space station since roches invasion of ukraine. amazon 0 worry challenge report. so it's raised questions about how political tension will affect international space exploration and is non in our weekend. they may now be floating full 100 kilometers above the surface. however, terrestrial conflict as a company, the international space stations, new as visitors. 11, 1st 3, the hatch is denise. mat hugs and smiles greeted, said a cossack of denise my fave,

and i got him. yes. they came through the hatch box to look at the colors from the russian cosmonaut suit, yellow and blue, the same as the ukrainian flag. it didn't take long for some back on earth to conclude. this was a coded message of condemnation for their country's invasion of ukraine. sometimes yellow is just yellow, scuffed rushes space agency on telegram with russian mission control. got on combs, just to make sure there are 3 previous through to know what you're doing. well, that's them asking like why the crew is wearing yellow suits while everyone else on the i ss whereas grey, he is legs reply question, because each group picks the suit the overalls under their own choice so that we don't look the same. now it was our turn to pick the color. the truth is we accumulated a lot of yellow materials, so we needed to use it up. that's why we had to wear yellow flight seats perhaps,

but russian space and defense analysts probably fell going how it says if they were making a political comments. they need a cover story for a rush and cost money not to go against the grid this low. i mean, he'll be just simply not sent the space again for them that the tragedy and the rush and cosmic agency and meet you are going to be absolutely supportive of the campaign and ukraine. so even if they wanted to show kind of some kind of resentment, they found the very good we go cover to say that this is jeff, businesses use yo about either way rushes invasion of ukraine is putting huge strain on space cooperation. us sanctions, a targeting russian space program, the european space agency is pulling out of a russian european mission to mars. launches have be cancelled and contracts broken

. years of collaboration between russia, the us and it's western allies, are being pulled apart in weeks re challenge. how do they're going now to the rest of the race needs the saudi coalition fighting in yemen since absolutely rebels of last 4 attacks on the kingdom damaging cause and homes. saudi state media report that a gas facility in congress will shake was targeted, as well as a power station, a ramco oil facility, and a water dissemination plant. we're also targeted. the coalition says that it stops and the tank on a 2nd. the ramco facility in the city of young to somalia is suffering. it was drought in 40 years. more than half a 1000000 people have left their homes to seek food water because their livestock has died and they're unable to grow crops. let's go live now to more that issue i'll just do is now a web is that for a smoke of what's happening to these people right now?

just to get a sense of scale of what's going on here. those 5 or 600000 people of left not just of small is population of people here say in past routes, he would flee the countryside to come to the villages in worst route people from the villages to come to towns. but now they've got ways of population of towns moving to the city, seeking water and food, and the mean to survive. now to the south of here, where we are now in mogadishu, along the banks in the basin of the ship belly and the rivers people that they form crops, they heard some livestock. but just within the last month or 2, the loss of the water in those 2 rivers has disappeared. this is an area that was known as the bread baskets of smaller because it was producing food. but now thousands of people have set off on foot to leave those places, which are now completely dry to try and seek means of survival elsewhere. a lot of them arrived here in the capital market issue where they set up,

make shift come. we spoke to some of them. let's take a look at our story now. the king hussein amid says when she planted her last handful of seeds on her farm. rain never came. with no food left, she started to make her way here. somali as capital mogadishu with her 4 children. that journey began on the back of a truck. then things got worse. not the truck driver said, this is my last stop. you can continue on your own to mortgage issue. we sat down under a tree, my 2 babies were in bad condition because of hunger and thirst. then all of the sudden i found they had white eyes. they had died. there was a lady living there who helped me to bury them by the roadside raquira and her 2 surviving children are among a rapidly growing number of people who are now staying in camps like this on the

outskirts of the city. most of the people here walked for more than a week to get here. they carried whatever they could top all ends and sheets. that's what they've made, that shelters out of the more than a 1000 people living in this settlement. and all of these shelters have sprung up within the last 4 weeks, where they've come from the situations been deteriorating in the humanitarian agencies. say it's about to get much. most of them have come from the southern part of somalia where they depended on farming and hurting livestock. until the last 3 rainy seasons failed. crops, withered and animals died. here they surviving on one meal a day. how are mohammed osmond with one of the 1st to arrive? she's a community leader. she's been trying to find help with little success. holla, have a guy d. c. he. the situation around here is extremely difficult. people are hungry and in poor house. people don't even have shelter every time a car passes here,

people think that somebody is coming to give them food. it's a similar story all around the outskirts of mogadishu. the u. n says more than 60000 people have arrived here in the last 4 months. and across the country, more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced by the drought. humanitarian organizations say they only have 3 percent of the funds needed to help them. the solution is for everyone to act fast. we need more fun. we need more attention to the drought. we need the support from the donor agencies from donor countries at to the so many people, that's what we need now. meanwhile, somali as government is entangled in an ongoing and fraught electoral process, much of the world's attention is focused on the war in ukraine. people here have been left destitute there,

waiting and wondering if anyone will come to help aside from the chronic shortage of funds. there were other problems, serious problems in trying to get help to the people that needed the ongoing conflict with the on group our survive, who had been fighting for years, the west and back government. this base here in mogadishu means is very difficult for the government and its western partners to distribute any kind of assistance beyond the, the cities and the towns that they control. should bob control sways of the countryside and they want to control any aid that's going to be distributed that so that means if aid can't be distributed where people live, they have to move to the town or the cities to have any chance to getting help with the tool that just exacerbate the displacement problem and all this happening at the same time, a somali as politicians are trying to select new leaders. that means at the moment that completely distracted. so don't nations don't even know who they'll be doing

business with in a few weeks from now. so all of these things are holding up the process of delivering help. the next rain to do in april long term, where the full cost is. say that not expected to deliver much water at all. and if indeed that is the case, things from here will be expected to get even worse. i'll 0 malcolm web reporting live than from somalia as capital market issue many thanks. and you know, the divide between the u. s. and iran has been highlighted by recent efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. but a persian arctic submission in new york is trying to bridge the gap. i'll just as christy salumi report with ornate patterns and islam references, the current exhibit at new york's asia society clearly shows its persian roots why she called me in his interest in alchemy. but the exquisite craftsmanship isn't all that curator fresh to diff. tari wants her american audience to see when you look

at the works here, you would realize that they're not just mere decorative works. they have very profound messages to convey, even if at times the messages are concealed. rebel jester, mystic poet, contemporary persians, features 20 plus living artists from iran, and it's diaspora. about a 3rd of the artists on display still reside there in a country long seen as an american adversary. the work on display conveys many aspects of person identity to a western audience. more accustomed to seeing modern iran through a political lens at times the work plays with stereotypes to present a more nuanced view, less image of an open wound, or even a bullet hole from war and peace. she's connecting this idea of war with the pursuit of oil to gender identity. it's sort of in the way of rebellion against

would, is expected of, of iranians, of iranian women. the art reveals, of the people behind the politics. would they be able to show these works and around, most of them have been shown in euro yes, most have been shown. but of course, you have to me or so sensitivity, but certain rules, sometimes using humor to quietly subvert authority. the biggest misconception is that all women are depressed and they're only there under the veil, and they are repressed or beauty to convey something dark. the idea of mirrors reflecting truth. these contemporary persians, like all great artists compelled the viewer to look again for a completely different perspective. kristin salumi al jazeera new york well renowned ballet sauce brace at least $180000.00 for ukrainians during a got a performance in london for leading following us
