hi, students can't go to school. there is no work. the economy is down, people can't put up with them. deportation is not good for us. ah ah. was fighting intensifying in the streets of muddy of all trains laid as says, the russian siege is a war crime. look ugly moody who would do this to a peaceful city. what the occupiers did to it is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come. ah, hello, i am, sam is a than this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, russia says it's

a tax. you craned with cruise missiles from ships in the black and caspian seas and has again used hypersonic weapons. plus i method baked in car, give city in easton ukraine, and i'll be bringing you on the latest. and the destruction here was this city has been pounded by russian forces and we report from a refugee camp in somalia, where many people forced to move my drought now facing starvation. ah, now the un says at least $840.00 civilians have now been killed in ukraine since the start of russia's invasion give says moscow is targeted a school where hundreds were taking shelter. it's been more fighting in the southern port city of mario paul, russian attacks here, the hospital, a church, and countless other apartment blocks. local officials say more than 39000 people

left the city last week. this was part of an agreement between ukraine and russia. ukraine's president followed him, is the landscape accusing russian troops of committing war crimes. and mario all look at me might be open to do this to a peaceful city. what the occupiers did to it is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come in. and the more ukrainians tell the world about it, the more support we find, the more rusher uses terror against ukraine, the worst the consequences will be anti neighborhoods. and now trying to leave the city with fairs of more strikes by the russian army. stephanie, back a report from western new crime. it's relentless, and it's been 3 weeks of this. the neighborhoods of mary paul are unrecognizable. now. the bodies lie where they fell. it's not safe to collect them. not safe to bury them in a cemetery. small salis for their families,

the cold keeping them from decomposing cars, lined the streets as people try to flee checkpoints, make sure only civilian 3 sent that i know are you and i would look at i and i got out of the city central district with bonds and destruction we lost her house in our leaving with our children were still in shock and fearful russian forces of continuously targeted this port city. where weeks of shelling have kept about 400000 people hostage. local authorities say moscow's attacks have caught electricity, supplies, heating, and water. this city has shut down. russia denies its targeting civilians, but its airstrikes have hid civilian buildings like this city school. and recently, a theater where people were seeking safety from bombings, survivors say life will never be the same. it's still bitterly cold outside. and

this woman lost her home. but some no longer have the energy where the will to try to leave. she just, he is just muscle wizard. why leave the city now after what we've been through? we've had difficult days with bombings, hunger and cold weather. as you can see, our neighbourhood is destroyed. mutual on there. as russian forces continue their assault of the city, ukrainians fiercely resist their advances. life has been put on hold for every one left behind in my report. and it's been described as a living hell. stephanie decker al jazeera in western ukraine. we'll go live to moscow and bernard smith, shortly, but 1st, rob mcbride in the west in ukrainian city of the very 1st take us through what's becoming the daily routine, the daily grim routine i should say, of digging people out of the rubble. that's right. i

mean, this is being done in so many cities across the ukraine. it but that down in the city of mc alive, this is the strategically very important port city in the south of ukraine, where they had quite a devastating miss style attacked that destroyed military barracks. now its thought at the time that a residence were a very large contingent of ukrainian marines. the rescue operation is under way. they have been pulling a number of survivors from the rubble people injured. but also we know a number of bodies now the ukrainians on giving too many details about the casualty figures. but it is thought that the final death toll from this could be in the schools of military personnel, which would make it the single biggest loss of men that military military life in a single attack so far. so for the military garrison, that is a big set back. the forces that have been reporting that the recent days i have

been fighting back repelling the russian advances, pushing back, including their artillery. and there is a feeling that the russians have been resorting to the use of missiles and rockets because it being pushed back out of artillery range. but also because of course, that even after more than 3 weeks of fighting, they still do not have as superiority. they have been losing aircraft and so it seems to be a natural strategic move to resort to the use of drones and missiles as in this case. but this is strategically very important to both sides. the russians who have the eyes on the desk. so that's the far more important says, southern coast city. they know that they've got to launch a successful attack on that. they really have to be able to take the life. and so far they have not done so, but this is a set back in the ukrainian defense of that city. all right, thanks so much, rob mcbride. now the frontline eastern city of car cave has been

continuously targeted since the start of the war. i said, bake is there. her cave has been pounded by russian for his day and night. so if you hear loud, that's hot, heavy artillery being fired and also in coming. but let me show you some of the devastation of what impact a bomb has. now this was hit just a few days ago and just take a look at the size of that crater. now we understand the target was a military priest building were told that the russians actually missed that and it landed here, it's destroyed cause or we believed the car mechanic taste and that's been absolutely destroyed cause have been absolutely crushed. but the building next to it was a residential building, and 2 people were killed to civilians. but just against some of the impact of this bumps, it landed here, it ripped through this entire area, causing damage to the buildings here. but also take a look at that. that's

a block of flats, residential people's homes. people live, completely destroyed, known can live in there anymore. the windows have been blown out and that's the devastation of just one bump. now across the street of the high court, the court building there and that spin hit that's been destroyed, the windows have been blown at this residential building, but the other side of the street, they've been absolutely destroyed. and across the street from where this bomb landed is a park. now there's a large crater there, a swell, a very close to the playground, again, causing absolute destruction. now, this is what's happening. the reason why we're wearing this protective armor is because people in the city don't know when the russians strike and where they will strike and it's completely unpredictable. at the moment, civilian centers, i've been hit, civilian residential buildings have been hit, the consent, it has been hit the shopping wallet. and the latest that we've heard from today is

that in one of the areas of hurricane 5 people were killed including a 9 year old child. now this city has held out against russian foresee the ukrainian forces, have managed to keep them out, but it is under constant fire, day and night. although smith is in moscow, can join us live from the russian capital, bernard, what do we hearing from the russian ministry of defense? so the russian ministry defendant says they've used again these hypersonic missiles to target locations. if you cry. and they say this time they've had a fuel storage site in the south of the country as no independent way of verifying whether russia using these missiles or not. so the foreign minister, the defense ministry says that it's the 2nd time they've used them in this, in a war situation. and they've also is also with

a cruise missiles launched cruise massage from the caspian sea and the black sea at other targets in ukraine. i thought that is, was those non process. the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depot used by ukraine's armed forces near the village of constantinople, of most of the main supplies of fuel for ukraine's army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss ireland struck the training center given for green special forces. their foreign mercenaries were base. now the something of an arms race going on between the united states, russia and china, over development of these hypersonic missiles they go about 5 times. the speed of sound, if they have been used and it is the 1st time in a battlefield environment that some people know of that they have been used. and an indication really a sign. and a demonstration of the far superior missile technology that russia has at its

disposal, compared to what you crane is defending itself with. all right, thanks so much bernard smith, justin bronk is a research fellow for air power at the royal united services institute. he explains the types of hypersonic weapons. there are a few kinds of hyper sonic muscles which use different principles. so one would be simply maneuverable, if you'd like, i'd like vehicle that quote, height is like on top of a large ballistic missile. so something that flies a ballistic trajectory goes out very high and then comes down using not coming down very fast to, to use that speed and maneuver. and then those cruise missiles, which use something called a scram jet basic teen incredibly high speed, jet engine as well. as a base, the rocket, it seems to have been, the russians have indeed used the missile. they claim to control. this is effectively a simpler weapon. it's basically

a ballistic missile. it's an adapt to discover ballistic massage on the standard medium range. ballistic missiles that they have adapted to the launch from a very large acro flight to intercept one. and so by launching at a very high speed in very high altitude, it doesn't have to use that field to climb from the ground up into a ballistic arc. cuz it would normally do, and so it ends up flying very, very fast. the main point to it is that it comes in at a sufficiently high speed to make it very hard to intercept. so again, nature targets which be protected by advanced american ballistic missile defenses. so the system for the us navy or something like patriot pack 3 or 5 coming in that fast makes it very difficult to intercept. so it doesn't particularly give them any battlefield advantage against ukraine because crane has only been intercepting a couple of of rushes, conventional christmas. i'll attacks. but it's more of a sort of warning shot to nato to say, yeah, remember we have this weapon system,

but it can penetrate the upgraded missile defense systems that you've put in place . and under romania now still had an al jazeera awaiting collection, and kid updates too dangerous for the parents of these babies to get them and fighting for the right to continue their education. we need the indian students have been forced to return from you cried ah, ah, hello, we have flood warnings enforced the parts of central china some very heavy rain coming through here. for the next few days. it's a stationary weather system. as the name implies, not going to far too quickly. so there you go. there's a heavy re river of rain coming in from west to east pushing over to war. shanghai

some big down. pause, 100 millimeters. afraid of 24 hour periods. easily on the cars that where to where the will slide towards southern parts of japan were you shoot honshu little bit of snow on the or the northern flank of that west for a time brightest guys to come back in behind dry brightwell celsius. therefore, sol, talk to some winter weather, pushing back towards beijing by tuesday. notice i'm further south more those showers just coming through. and we got some very heavy showers as per usual across southeast asia. quite a raft of them through the philippines, malaysia, running down into indonesia. but the wet weather up towards, in their china thailand, seeing some heavy right. and you notice that circulation, they're just around the adam and see that could well develop into a tropical storm. maybe aside from the storm as we go on through the next couple of days. so that's the position of the storm at the moment. making its way further, northward western parts of myanmar, we'll see flooding as we go for tuesday and wednesday, elsewhere for pakistan and india, it's dry ah

pick take the ships to democracies. activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial oil companies and become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want you to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil plate for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you can see on al jazeera blue. ah,

you're watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. russia has increased its attacks on mario paul, ukrainian preserve. all of them is that an skis accusing russian troops of committing war crimes. t of says moscow is targeted to school where hundreds were taking shelter. in hot cave rescue workers have been searching for survivors in the ruins of buildings. russian forces have relentlessly targeted the city. since the start of the invasion, russia says it's used hypersonic missiles to attack ukraine for a 2nd day spokesman for the ministry of defense. i had 3 targets were hit, crossed the ukrainian capital, a volunteer force has emerged to help those who remain behind the network support some of caves, most fond rouble, and ron con, joined the group. they made their daily rounds. it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service ah,

without any external funding. anya and i friends deliver groceries and basic goods to some of the most vulnerable and keep some of the goods that donated. but most a paid for by the volunteers themselves. the move. so to who i always wanted to movement. karen work, i don't have grandparents. so this house to compensate for that. it really comes from my heart. 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 said in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers, i 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 my public transport this child so she can pick out here. oh, he's right now. i don't need anything because they 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 it. 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 kill serv also become a frontline of sorts 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're 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 zera gave germany says it's reached in energy agreement with cutter. the announcement came during german energy minister robert ham backs visit to doha. germany has been seeking alternatives to end its reliance on russian natural gas since the start of the war in ukraine. i buy coal next visit the u. e. in cave. dozens of babies born to sorry, good. so waiting to be picked up from a makeshift nursery. their parents are either unable to travel or not willing to risk the journey. the babies are sheltering in the basement. they need constant care, and since many this is cannot return to their destroyed homes. they sleep and work their muscle. we have very well equipped rooms to provide comfort for children. it is everything for them to be safe and for them to be taken care of. but now we are staying here in this basement to preserve ours and the babies lives there,

hiding here from the bombing. and this horrible misery to the war in ukraine is false. nearly 800000 medical students to return home to india. they fill their fall rather a petition in the supreme court, asking the government to allow the transfer to indian colleges. the students flight is highlighted in the lack of medical colleges as elizabeth per on them reports from other pradesh. the you getting the you could in in women and children, watch and sharma shows videos of him and his fellow students fleeing the russian bombing of car cave. the 20 year old was in his 1st year of medical school in the east in ukrainian city. he's one of nearly 800000 indian medical students evacuated from ukraine since the russian invasion began molest in, in the apartment. plenty of begging me and government. i passed the entrance exam last year, but i didn't have enough marks to go to government college here. because they cut off the requirements of very high. so the better option for me was to go overseas

with michael shanks just as monica an entre. but he said they were forced to study overseas, were fees a much cheaper. their families says they're paying half the amount of fees in ukraine than they would. and private colleges in india, online classes have begun for the sisters and some others. but they're not ideal or lame when it go on yankee. and the problem with online is that we need a lot of practical experience, which we aren't able to do. we are a 3rd year student and practical. it's very important and the 3rd year. so it's difficult the return of the students from ukraine is again putting the spotlight on the lack of medical colleges in india. the number of seats available for medical education in india is far less than the number of students who leave school with the hope of becoming doctors or the 1600000. who did the entrance exam last year on the 88000 and made it into the 562 medical colleges from the country.

given the shortage private colleges charge, hefty fees for the much sought after spaces and receive large donations from students, families, public health experts, blame, and lack of government investment and health care. and what they call the medical council of india's arbitrary regulations to set up colleges, whether it was a bona fide the intent to protect standards. as they said over there, it was to protect some interests of people who are running private medical colleges . i cannot really say, however, that did result in a smaller number of medical colleges and also clustering of medical colleges in the for southern states and to west and indian states. prime minister that ends morty, blamed previous governments for the lack of colleges and said his administration will increase the number of students who returned from ukraine, appealed to the government to find a way for them to continue their studies at home. some health experts say it's an

ideal opportunity for india to tackle the dr. shortage. elizabeth per item al jazeera, greater noise than for the 2 other news. now, somalia is suffering its worst route in 40 years. more than half a 1000000 people have left their homes to seek food and water because their livestock of dive and unable to grow crops. malcolm web met some who arrived that had camp for this place. people in mogadishu, kia hussein, amen says when she planted her last handful of seeds on a farm, rain never came. with no food left, she started to make her way here. somali as capital mogadishu with her 4 children, their journey began on the back of a truck. then things got worse. the truck driver said, this is my last stop. you can continue on your own to mortgage issue. we sat down

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 wandering if anyone will come to help. malcolm web al jazeera, mogadishu, somalia, savvy coalition, fighting in yemen, says host the rebels of launched for attacks on the kingdom. damaging carson holmes found the state media reporter gath facility and i mean some shape was targeted as well as the power station and the ramco oil facility and the water determination on we're also targeted coalition says it stopped in attack on the 2nd ramco facility in the city of young boy, at least 6 people have been killed in belgium, when a call is driven into carnival performers. the group had been preparing for
