were part of our convoy. but they were all gone down by pro russian forces at another village. pro russian chechen fighters hold people hostage, they say knowing ukrainian military will not shoot at civilians. what? what can i say? she says i'm scared a lot. i don't want to leave they are safe for now. together. warm, happy. but once his family is in poland flood, his love says he will go back to fight. jane basra v o 0 live o mayor came says residential buildings, an a shopping center have been hit by russian shelling on sunday. the apartment block in a western district of the capital has been heavily damaged. nobody was killed,

but several people are being treated in hospital bill, family, rural washer, more. he, we can see that the crane this war is to liberate people, is propaganda that bombing residential areas, like in other cities, their goal is keep our capital city and we can see the consequences. they want to scare people, but they'll fail. the ukrainian people will not be skate. these actions create even more hatred and desire to resist the attacks ukraine, 2nd largest, as he has been constantly hit i, russian forces. although they haven't been able to take control of khaki, the bombing has cause catastrophic damage as had beg reports from an eerie silence hangs over car keith with apocalyptic scenes. the center of the city, frozen like a page in history. standing still for the world to see there was

a huge explosion as that my was heard all over the city's saint. i lived quite close, so i myself heard it and that it was a waltz was shaken. and after that there were several. and as i asked thrice, and in the following days, i walked in the streets thousands of times and there were so many i great little coffee shops or restaurants on the 1st floors here, and people will even hear my friends live in this house. and so now there is no place where then cats can come back since the start of the war, the maria has refused to leave her home city in ne, in ukraine, this strikes is with she stayed to document what the russians are doing. chris it did with here during the net, so keep press and saw even the net says you're in the with the vault, we're to didn't destroy the buildings, and now they are in ruins because of the russians hoyle, our neighbors, people here think that one day soon the damage can be fixed and buildings

reconstructed, but the impact of the war on the minds of people in hockey will be hard to overcome . the russian thought the could just walk in and take the city, but they were mistaken. they were met with fierce ukrainian resistance and as a result, to punish her keep the rift coat. it's historical hot. for weeks there's been bombing day and night. once a city of 1500000, many have left knows who some of those who remain a struggle for food. this man put frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. you i, i hopefully will end soon so that our children can leave mapleton begun by 14 and as the sound of artillery filled the sky, people head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is

taken this, including inside the train, some little jelly, my darcy been like a calendar. i saw her, so i'm sleeping here. we took the mattress and pumped it up and more or less settled down. some people sleep here on the floor. we also eat here. the foot is so, so volunteers bring it to our side because the doors and the subway are closed for the night. there's hope here. the next day will bring an end to the war. and no need to hide from the bumps. i said, beg, i'll da 0. hark if ukrainian president vladimir polanski has appealed to israel for help against russia. he addressed members of the israeli kinessa, my zoom savanski like in the russian invasion to the holocaust and told politicians both countries faced the threat of destruction. i fought reports from where chosen

is really is gathered in television to watch a speech that blood amused lensky had wanted played to politicians inside israel's class. it but with the parliament in recess its members joined from wherever they were by zoom. the significance remained a jewish president fighting a war in europe, appealing to what he said out as a sense of shared history. all the lucy, the way our history and our survival and world war to listen to the words of the kremlin. they use the terminology of the nazi party, so it's a tragedy that they wanted to exterminate all europe. they did not want to spare any one of you. and now any of us, what they call this, the final solution there should be. but it wasn't long before ukraine's president pivoted to the present. and these really governments current policy, israel's prime minister, natalie bennett, has presented himself and his country as a neutral mediating force, talking frequently to both savanski and never, far from the surface. israel's interest in keeping russia on side, continuing to allow israel to carry out air strikes in syria unopposed by duty. is

it indifference calculation or mediation without choosing sides? i leave it to you to choose the answer to this question. i only know to one thing that indifference kills calculations often turn out to be wrong, and mediation is only possible between countries, but not too good and evil. so then he went on to chide israel for not adopting sanctions against russia, sending any of its high tech weaponry, which he said could save ukrainian lives for weeks. now, israel's government has been arguing that its utility on the war allows it access to both sides. an honest broker, facilitating negotiations, but president landscape through the strength of his criticism has really exploded. that argument now criticizing almost every aspect it, israel's policy on the war is not the 1st time he's used such a parliamentary address in recent days to attack that country's policy. but there was an undoubted edge to his words. israeli ministers were quoted in the local

media criticizing what they called his outrageous comparisons with the holocaust. the official line came from israel's foreign minister, repeating his condemnation of the attack on ukraine and thanking its president for sharing his feelings and the plight of the cranium. people hurry for, said al jazeera western richard silverstein, as an independent journalist, and runs the ta, couldn't all a blog devoted to exposing the accesses of the israeli national security state. he joins us from seattle. thank you for joining us there. you say in a recent blog post that you wrote, that israel's indifference to ukraine could prove costly to israel. what did you mean by that? i want to note that that was a piece that was published in ology 0. i but i could you repeat your question again? you say in that blog post for al jazeera that israel's indifference to ukraine could prove costly to israel. what exactly did you mean by that?

i believe that israel's, and so called neutrality, is a charade. and that it's not really um, sincere, and that israel's attempt to broker a ceasefire or an agreement between ukrainian russia is, is not sincere. because israel has too many interests that are related to russia. as you are a correspondent mentioned there, syria, which one of the most prominent, but israel is really compromised in terms of its position. it has many russian oligarchs who've invested millions of dollars in the is really economy. and who owned some of the poshest penthouses in tel aviv and, and i want to also reinforce what's lensky said about the holocaust. most is really jews are tremendously guilty about the government's policy. 76 percent in a recent poll said that they support ukraine over russia,

only 10 percent said that they support russia. however, the government has to appear to be neutral, although neutrality, in this case, really favors russia. because ukraine is the, is the subordinate less powerful? a party here, so staying neutral means you're basically helping russia that poll that you mentioned, where over 76 percent of his riley population support ukraine. that same poll. oh, so i said that over half of the population, israeli population supports the government's decision to remain neutral. why is that? well, i think that israel is a little bit of as kit sawyer, a population in many political areas, including this one. i think that they would like to take a cautious view of this. and while in their hearts they are in there on the side of

ukraine, i think they also realize like the leadership of the government that they have many interests that are in accord with russia. so they want to give the leadership a chance to do something constructive. but i think that most israelis, if you ask them, would realize that the government stance on this is really untenable. and what is really doing is it's leaving out any moral considerations which if you have morality as your central value, you have to be on the side of ukraine. and instead they're taking the self interest of the country and of the government into account. and that is characteristic of his really policy, but it's really at odds with the rest of the world. it it in times if the rest of the world will israel's reluctance add to support ukraine effect it's international standing. and if so, how would that look like practically?

well, i think that israel has shown that it's an outlier on this issue. it, it, it refused to support it, shoots us co sponsor a resolution at the united states, asked it to co sponsor in the united nations general assembly, which was approved with only 5 votes opposing it, which supported ukraine, and opposed the russian invasion and asked russia to to end it and israel was one of 5 countries that refused to, to joint will excuse to co sponsor later. they changed their mind and they voted for the resolution. but when they were asked to co sponsored, they refused. so israel's position is, is, is just fraught with our conflicts and again, and conflicts of interest. and i think that it makes is real, a pariah state, which it already is in many ways for other reasons. and it just puts them on the outside again, in this case. thank you for your analysis. richard self esteem independent,

but in the past few weeks it could be money doll. they don't care to making much territorial gains except for in near the sea bass off in the south eastern, near mary opal, which will probably fall soon. but otherwise, it's been pretty much as a mis, they've been is what seem to just launching massive missiles mortars in the hypersonic system. nato has sent patriot as offend systems to so vac. yeah. the country's defense minister, previously that it would be willing to provide ukraine with its s $300.00 long range missiles systems. if the units were replaced, president milady ms. lansky directly appealed to the u. s. for am t s. systems to protect its s based against russian warplanes and missiles many ukrainians who fled the war are now beginning to settle into their new lives across europe. julian wolfe has more on families that have found refuge in italy

which must be terrible. the 2 women are among the 58000 ukrainians who have fled to italy since the war began. tanya told her daughter that their escape from war was a trip to visit her grandmother. a friend of the been a breakfast owners who also live in the small italian town at the beginning, she was enthusiastic. but now tennis says she is beginning to miss her dad. her aunt cassia hasn't lost faith, and lisa worn come to an end soon. o, my dear mazama, we believe in future we will be able to return home and rebuild a new life. we would renew our economic life. we will rebuild the country. our future will be as peaceful as it was before. but for now, they're living every day. one step at a time, far away from home join wolf, al jazeera, has been more than 3 weeks since russia's invasion began. anne ukrainians from all

launch and managed to turn back, but i shot it right at the fuel tanks and the ammunition load has detonated the tank literally flew off the road. and now it is somewhere in the road ditch in the forest. after that we came under fire, not for long though, all during this time the russian military vehicles returning back and escaping one . it's better that they just don't come here. they'll end up buried here if they will become fertilizer, better they go home and not listen to their evil government will a spring you some of the days of the news, u. s. supreme court justice clarence thomas is being treated in hospital for infection. he was hospitalized on friday with flu like symptoms. news of his illness comes as the senate gets ready to begin confirmation hearings on monday for the 1st african american woman nominated to the top court. kentucky brown, jackson is president joe biden's picked, so replace justice stephen breyer, who is retiring hottie. jack hassar reports kentucky brown. jackson grew up in

a middle class suburb of miami, where both parents worked as school teachers and where she made a name for herself at debate. competitions, by writing her name can tonchee on the chalkboard for all to see, she would have to speak before largely white audiences and had to sort of bridge that gap and convey to them instantaneously. in case there was any subtle bias, were just lack of familiarity with her to study from her name. steven rosenthal was jackson's classmate from an early age. he says he never doubted that one day his charismatic friend would achieve these heights. so she just drew people toward her and people wanted to shoot what her and i respected her. so she just had all the tools in addition to being roja, to succeed in whatever she chose to do. jackson has been

a federal judge for 9 years and currently sits on the d. c. court of appeals. she's issued about 500 opinions, but none on the hot button, issues of abortion, gun rights, and freedom of religion. she did game fame in 2019, when she blocked president trump from shielding former white house counsel dom again from testifying before congress. writing presidents are not kings. joe jackson deserves to be confirmed as an act just as supreme court. some republicans have a hughes jackson of being the favored choice of far left groups, but the same senate confirmed her to her appeals cor position a year ago with support from 3 republicans. jackson were replaced another liberal stephen briar, the justice she once clerked for, and she would be the 1st black woman to join the u. s. supreme court. i can only hope that my life and career my love of this country and the constitution and my

commitment to upholding the rule of law and the sacred principles upon which this great nation was founded will inspire future generations of americans. even me, when i think about myself as a, as a lawyer, i didn't house many people to look up to that looked like i did. and so i think for young girls to be able to look at justice jackson and see where she is and, and how she's com is really, really going to be an important moment. jackson has seen her future clearly since high school telling a yearbook editor she wanted to go on to law and eventually have a judicial appointment. now on the brink of being appointed to the highest court in the land, she's also serving as inspiration for many heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington. brazil supreme court has lifted its been on messaging out
