a ah a plane carrying 133 people crashes in the mountains. the whoo joe in southern china. ah. hello, i'm emily. angling mrs. al jazeera live from doha. also coming up. russian forces he to shopping santa and to residential area in the capital cave. at least 8 people are reported, killed. ukrainian soldiers in the eastern cc of mary paul defy a russian deadline to lay down their weapons and struggling for food and shelter.

we assess the damage in new cranes, 2nd largest city of car cave. it's been under weeks of bombardment. ah, we begin with some breaking news out of china, a passenger plane carrying 133 people has crashed in the south of the country. the boeing 737, came down in the countryside. ne woo jo in the guam she region of the country. same media says the number of casualties isn't known. katrina year is joining us from by ging katrina. what more you hearing about this crash in this particularly mountainous area of china? well, the seems to be a very disastrous accidents and fears are growing concerning the lives of doors on board. it's a developing story. we're still getting some details,

but this is what we know so far. it was a boeing 737 passenger plane, and it left us of the city of could me in the province of you, not about 1 15 pm local time. now it was headed to the city of wong jo, which is not far from hong kong, and that's like should only take less than 2 hours. they're not very far away. but before, obviously you did not arrive at its destination and instead the plane has crashed in one she providence, which is a very rural mountainous area. we've seen some social media post on line some video showing scenes what report to be the crash of this plan. it seems that there had been a wild fi cord by the plane coming down and really you can get a sense of how remote this area is. now, chinese take media says that all rescue teams on the way. and because how difficult this terrain is you can see that it's not going to be easy to get rescue teams very,

very quickly. now, china's civil aviation authority have confirmed the crash. they say that there were $132.00 people on board, including including the crew as well. now we don't know any more details regarding how many casualties that might be what might have caused this crash, but this has already called love shock, especially on social media. china has quite a good record of ation. safety accidents like this are extremely rare. the last time we had any sort of plane, incidental plane crash was in 2010. and before that, the other incident was in 2004. so this doesn't happen very frequently at all. but even doors incidents, they involve fewer than 100 people. so this is definitely the biggest ation incident that we've had in china for years. yes, it certainly doesn't look encouraging. those shots are awful. thank you very much for that update. katrina,

you live for us in by jean. a russian shelling in ukraine's capital cave is killed, at least to h, paypal, the city's masses, several homes, and a shopping center where he so have a nice cave, has seen a number of tax in the past week. but russia's advance on the capital has slowed. let's get more on the latest situation now with him run con, whose life for us in cave. hello, they him run your at the sight of this light is shelling. what more can you say and want more of you heard over the past 24 hours. those are well, let me just show you, i can point out some of the details here. in the last few minutes we've heard a very loud controlled explosion, likely to be the remnants of whatever projectile was used in this area. this is a shopping mall and a residential block that shopping moves only about 2 years old. what residents have

been telling us is that when the attack happened, but 1030 p. m, we actually heard it from our location. we're about 8 kilometers away from and the residency saying that they thought this was v and they actually thought that the entire place was going to collapse and it was a sustained attack. oh oh, so in the last a sort of half an hour or so in multiple rocket launchers go across. ah, this area targeting shell him is coming in. he probably can't see it. but in between those 2 buildings over there, there's a thick plume of kind of black smoke set against the sky. that's actually a routine. what are the front lines where russian forces are battling ukrainian forces? there's a counter offensive offensive, and kind of battle going on there. the ukrainians is telling us that they are kind of pushing, trying to push those russian forces back in that frontline, like you see, you can see the smoke. it really isn't very far away from here. now like i say this happened about 1030 p m. last nights the damage is extensive. i

at a guesstimate and this is purely my own. a guesstimate i think is across at least a half a square kilometer radius that certainly larger than anything we've seen in the previous week or so. and we're seeing more and more of these attacks or take place no, just early in the morning. but late at night as well, also around 1030 last night to narrow location. we saw anti aircraft fire go against another russian, a missile that was coming. air flying over central key that will military analyst is suggesting, is that this may well be a way of, of the russians to try and test ukraine's and the capitals add defense systems. now we don't have that confirmed that simply something that the machine analysts have told us we also heard from or the security here in the key of certain a senior military person here telling us that the shelling is her chaotic. that,

that doesn't seem to be a pattern to it, but they are telling residence now to sleep in their corridors rather than anywhere near a window. no will actually kind of save this place or from a mass amount of casualties is a, a lot of people evacuated the city, but this is a relatively new residential block is actually possible, are actually still being built like i say, that shopping mall, the pride of care of, in many ways, lots of kind of cool coffee shops inside residents telling us that it was a beautiful place for them to hang out with is only a couple of years old. but once again, it's been an easy night for ukraine's her capitals residence and a lot of nervousness on the ground. her. yes, no down. all right. will you stay safe, sir? emma can live for us in the capitol cave. it's been more than 7 hours now since a russian deadline passed for ukrainian forces in the city of mary a pulse to surrender. moscow said it would allow civilians to leave if the soldiers laid down

their weapons, but keep rejected moscow's demand saying there's no question of any surrender. same as robbie is in, levine, enduring the obstacles of war, indignity, and death. this is life in mario up all. now, but i hope there will be some sort of a burial. this is just temporary. the military told us to put the body somewhere in the cold, the only cold place now or basements, but there are people in basements, so we bury them here. with them, with the problem, it is difficult to see how life can go on for people in a place like this. look, god, me my do, but we didn't. we story the blockade marybell. we go down in history of responsibility for war crimes. to do this, to a peaceful city, what the occupiers did, it is terror that will be remembered for centuries to come more are escaping war

every day. but getting to safety can mean risking your life. active conflict sounds, rush and checkpoints. ukrainians say it's difficult to know which way a safe and not everybody makes it. not about at nancy living inch does right. they began to destroy our city completely house after house battles took place on every street lodge. every house became a target. murray, opal's residents fled a city still under russian attack from levine, a please, to end the war that a he arossi young man, my dear russian. so if we ask you all to go home, deal with your own families of them, you have entered someone else's land. if someone else's territory with you are not liberating or you are barbarians, what we hope that you all leave and never disturb any one ever again. you fool you . the rule will yes. at the largest reception center in review, volunteers prepare for an influx of evacuees from the war zone. thousands have come

and gone thousands more expected in coming days. one family from a village near keith said the worst part of their journey was witnessing the horrors of war. no ma'am, ma'am. we were passing through a russian checkpoint and saw a lot of bodies lying near the road. some of them were shot for some missing body parts known as at one check point in the village. we were waiting for 2 buses. there were part of our convoy, but they were all gone down by pro russian forces at another village. pro russian chechens fighters hold people hostage, they say, knowing ukrainian military will not shoot at civilians. the what's, 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. then basra v o 0 live in ammonia lake has been reported at a chemical plant in the north east, in the ukrainian city of sumi and employee the to make him prom planned, has been injured. the regional governor says it was the result of russian shelling . but the lake has now been contained the state emergency services. there is no threat to the population. still head on al jazeera, a coal for israel to take a calf is stand grained president can pay the rushes invasion to the crimes of nazi germany. and officials in hong kong update their co, 9 pain restrictions with plans to lift a flight plan on 9 country. ah

hey there, good to see. you're welcome to your world's weather update. we're going to begin in australia. so here's the picture on tuesdays and showers. zip in across parts of victoria into tasmania, but i want to put this a few days forward and on your radar. here we are on friday. some heavy rain will be falling for new south wales and also queensland of course caesar flood stricken areas. still trying to recover from that extreme flooding that we saw recently, northern parts of australia, plenty of sun that we do have some rain also for parts around that top and. and here is our 8 name tropical storm of this season shortly to the west of australia. so it's not posing a major threat. there has been some flooding in auckland, after that city recorded a record amount of rain within a single hour. 52 millimeters still more rain coming on tuesday. we're also locked into some high humidity here. after the southeast of asia across java, we've got some bursts of rain really across the island over the last little bit.

we've seen about 50 to a 100 millimeters of brain, and there's a slug of rain moving across the river valley also toward the south. northerly, wind, beans, the temperature and shanghai just 10 degrees. that's the best i can do for you on tuesday, and doubts with rain for southern areas of japan that includes cargo shima with a high of 13 degrees c. later, the from the al jazeera london broker center to p in thoughtful conversation. christy is all about trying to get a superior reputation, unprompted uninterrupted, where we find the most profound similarities is not actually in our closest living relatives. but it's a much more distant connection. part want of right to will through i'm psychologist nick la honey, you're going to be a corporate species. you call to each other up in each other on the side studio be on the scripted on al jazeera.

ah ah ah, hello. are you watching al jazeera? i'm emily ang, when he's reminder of our top stories this alum, a passenger plane carrying more than 130 people has crashed in southern china. the boeing 737 crashed in countryside. ne woo jo in the region. state media says the number of casualties isn't non in ukraine's capital cave, at least 8 people have been killed in light, 9 shelling the cities may, it says several homes and a shopping center were targeted. and antimony lake has been reported that a chemical plant in the north eastern city of some so me the original governor says

it was the result of russian shelling and the lake is now being contained. ukraine's 2nd largest city has spain a targets. since the start of the invention, russian forces are yet to take control of khaki, though, as i said, beg reports the constant bombing has caused catastrophic damage. an eerie silence hangs over for 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 if that might was heard all over the city's saint. i lived quite close so i myself heard it and there was a waltz were shaken, and after that there were several and as our as thrice and the following days. i walked in the streets thousands of times and there were so many my great little

a 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 cat can come back. since the start of the war, maria has refused to leave her home city in ne, in ukraine. this strikes is, was she stayed to document what the russians are doing. chris sit there with here during the net, so keep pace and saw even the nets, as you are in the, with the vault were 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 would 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 the city of 1500000, many have left mil to some of those who remain a struggle for food. this man put frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. why not? sure, i hopefully will, and soon so that our children can leave mapleton begun by fortune. and as the sound of artillery fills the sky, people's head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is taken, including inside the train moved my thoughts to been like a child is very slowly shows. i'm sleeping here. we took the mattress and pumped it up. more or less settled down. some people sleep here on the floor. we also eat here. the food is so,

so volunteers bring it to us because the doors and the subway are closed for the night. this 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 do it, or how to keep a foreign ministers amazing in brussels to discuss the latest developments in ukraine. they use foreign policy. chief, joseph barella said the indiscriminate bombing in marian pole could only be described as a war crime. they had to condemn in their struggle domes. this is a war crying, a massive war cry, and what's happening will be completely destroyed and people will be our dying. we will continue work in supporting ukraine with all of our sources. we continue talking about what kind of sandra we can think again,

more especially rated energy diplomatic editor james base is in brussels and james another day. another effort at diplomacy, one of foreign ministers hoping to achieve out of today's meetings. important meeting because it's not just foreign ministers. we got foreign ministers of the and all the you defense ministers of both meeting here at the same time to discuss the situation in ukraine. important to because this is going to be a week of a lot of diplomacy here in brussels. later in the week, we have a nato summit of all the nato leaders than any use. some of the leaders, president biden will be here in brussels for those meetings, so, preparatory work, i think for those meetings, i think it's notable though that the high representative browser you just heard came at the start of this meeting. a seat has gone every time. foreign ministers have convened since the start of the invasion and every previous time,

he's come to the meeting and announce new sanctions while he's talking about possible new sanctions. but they don't have any more to announce at this stage. and that's because i think they've gone to the point where they've got consensus on sanctions. and now it's very difficult because you get to things like the energy sector with a real disagreement of how to proceed. you heard mister burrell talk about massive war crimes going on right now in mario pull. they're going to talk, i think about what they do about that. as you know, accountability is very, very hard under the international system, the international criminal court. there's no way that the what's going on that is going to get to the international criminal court referred to the international criminal court. there is a proposal by some, including eldest statesmen, former statesmen, should be some sort of tribunal, perhaps, like the nuremberg tribunal after the 2nd world war had been lots of calls for that . and to be honest, i didn't think it was an idea that was going to get much traction,

that the high table of diplomacy, but 3 of the foreign ministers. i spoke to that way in this meeting that they were open to discussing that idea that it is a possibility that that is another thing that potentially is being discussed here. all right, well make sure you keep us updated as to how things progress throughout the day. james, by live for us in brussels, ukrainian president. let him use the lengthy hans appealed to israel for help against russia. he addressed a members of these rally parliament on sunday, so then he can pay the russian invasion to the crimes of nazi germany. harry faucet reports from west jerusalem israelis gathered and television to watch his speech. the blood amuse lensky had wanted play to politicians inside israel's connected, 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 as appealing to what he set out as a sense of shared history or 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, they call this the final solution. it should be. but it wasn't long before ukraine's president pivoted to the present and israeli government 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 between 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 you cranial lives for weeks. now israel's government has been arguing that it's utility on the war allows that access to both sides an honest broker, facilitating negotiations, but president landscape through the strength of his criticism has really floated 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, is rarely ministers who 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 ukrainians from all walks of life have joined the fighting against russia. tatiana short novel is

a widowed mother of to her husband was killed during fighting in the east, back in 2014. she was a journalist and then a member of parliament. now she's serving in an anti tank unit, which will you please do the b who that's just to show you why she was in the bunker when we saw tanks appearing and we literally ran to our position. i ran to my operator. see, well, it's not really a scene, but rather a case because we're still repaired, but we wouldn't go, i switch it on and see tanks on my screen. they just entered within the range of my missile. i took aim and destroyed the 1st tank. interestingly though, the rocket was flying for quite some time. perhaps the tanks registered the rockets 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. 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. to other world news now and hong kong is aging. some of it's covered 19 restrictions in class learning will resume for school students in april and the current time period for travelers entering the territory will be reduced. clinic has moved from hong kong. these were some of the strictest border controls in the entire world. so for evidence here, it does come as a huge relief crossing the quarantine period to 7 days. if you test negative at scrapping that white band from 9 different countries, including the united kingdom, including united states of failure, india. this caused a huge headache and a lot of heartache. it must be said as well for families here who weren't able to

go and come back and see family members because of the quarantine time because the expense of it because they couldn't take time off work. so indeed, it is a relief for people have residents here, but also to the business community who have been crying foul about this. these border measures for many months. and it must be said, these border restrictions have been in place more or less for 2 years. a different shape for form one. at one point, it was 3 weeks quarantine. on arrival. we had business tycoon like allen ziemen saying that the measures would jeopardize the city status as a financial hard as a gateway between east and west. so certainly, the cries were growing louder from the business community. there are also another host of strict measures that the government says will be relaxed and then coming weeks and months, including the 2 people gathering van a dining curfews right now the beaches are closed. there's mandatory mars where even if you're on the hiking trails, even if you're exercising outside,

these kinds of things will also be relax, were told on the provision that there is no surge or rebound of cases in the coming weeks and months. that is one thing that caroline, the chief executive of hong kong has warned that if cases do go up again, like we've seen over the last couple of months, then those measures may not be relax. the u. s. senate is beginning confirmation hearings on monday for the 1st black american woman nominated to the top coat, catan, jean brown jackson. these president, jo biden's, a pick to replace justice steve and brian. who's retiring heidi ger. castro, reports kentucky round. 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. a debate competitions by writing her name contain g 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, we're just lack of familiarity with her just starting 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 support her and respected her. so she just had all the tools. in addition to being brilliant 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, george jackson deserves to be confirmed is not justice supreme court. some republicans have accused jackson of being the favored choice of far left groups. but the same senate confirmed her to her appeals court position a year ago with support from 3 republicans. jackson will replace another liberal stephen briar, the just as 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 have 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 been appointed to the highest court in the land, she's also serving as inspiration for many heidi joe castro. al jazeera washington . ah, hello, are you watching out his ear? these are the stories we're following. the sour passenger pine, caring, 132 people as crashed in southern china. the boeing 737 came down in countryside. me were joe in the guam she region. st media says the number of.
