ah ah ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm the cloud that sits in our life from del, cover up the next 60 minutes, a passenger plane carrying a 132 people, crashes in the mountains, is near. we joe, in southern china. russian forces hit a shopping center and residential area in the ukrainian capital of keefe. at least 8 people are reported, killed. ukrainian soldiers in the eastern city of marble defy

a russian deadline to lay down their weapons and struggling for food and shelter. we assess the damage in ukraine's 2nd largest city of khaki. after weeks the phone book. i'm jam nash with sports barcelona, rush around madrid and our cost. okay. and the ross found a 1000 perfect starts of the season is ended by taylor france as the american times the 1st. and last is 1000 sides of his career. ah, he said, we start this news hour with breaking news from china, where a passenger plane carrying 132 people has crashed in the south. the boeing 737 jets came down in countryside here with joe in the going she region state medias say the number of casualties is at this moment on known. let's get the latest stillness from katrina. you join us on skype at from bay jig and katrina said details still

coming in, but what more do we know at this time? well, we do know that it's this was a boeing 737 passenger plane run by the airline china easton. and it deposit from the chinese city of couldn't being in new non province at around one p. m. local time that it was destined for the city of wong jo due to arrive at 3 p. m. that's gone. joe. not far from hong kong. so this is not a very long flight, it's less than 2 hours. now, according to china's civil aviation authority was carrying 132 people, including 9 crew members. now officials say that they lost contact with the aircraft as it flew over. won't she province an area known as joe, and at the time they said it was cruising at about 30000 feet before it abruptly started a descending. now there's no word on the floor whatsoever. we do know that according

to state media risk, your teams are on the way. there are a number of social media video circulating composing to show scenes of the crash. and it tells us 2 things. one that this is of in extremely remote mountainous region. so it will not be easy for rescue teams to reach this area. and secondly, this crash appears to have caused a wildfire as well in this area so far, no official statements have been made by the airline of boeing. but we do know that their websites have both turned to black and white out of respect for the assumed victims of this cash under katrina. what would we know about the airline safety record? well, tony's an airline does. it is a very large airline. is one of the biggest in china and it has quite a good safety recall itself. in fact, china's aviation industry, in general is thought to be one of the best in terms of safety recalls in the world of this incident is causing a loss of shock and

a lot of pain and fear to the lives of the people on board. it's extremely rare, it's had this kind of incident happen here in china and bowling a chinese airline. the last time there was a tragedy in building an airline was in 2010 with a crash occurring on a runway in the lives of 44 people. last that day and before that, the incident that occurred was in 2004. so this is not usual to these incidents to happen at all. and i should point out that this, this crash involves the boeing 737800 model, which is distinct from the 737 max, which was the aircraft involved in 2 crashes in 2018 in 2019. and that particular model has been grounded in china since then for about 3 years. but this plane as far as we know, the 737800 itself has quite a good record also or a katrina. but with you to get more information on this. so the such information

ah, well turning to the war in ukraine now and at least a people have been killed in the capital. the keefe in a late night telling by russian forces said his mare, said several homes and the shocking sent to a hit. he received a number of attacks and possibly at russia's advance on, the city has slowed. and let's get more now from him rank on who's in the capital. say him right now. you're at the scene, i believe, of destruction. because i, that's as the right. let me just get out the way and show you now in the last 20 minutes or so. we've seen outgoing fire from a rush or from ukrainian and he aircraft and he air missiles going up into the sky . now this incident actually happened around about 1030 last night. we actually heard it were by 8 kilometers away, but we were speaking to residents here who told us they thought this was the end. they thought they were about to die. now, this is a fairly new residential block,

it's still being built in parks that shopping mall that you can see is about 2 years old and a lot of the residence a there. it's a wonderful shopping malls called retro ville. they used to go there at the coffees and whatever. there's no military targets around here. now you can probably see just in the distance or a lot of soldiers. lot about 50 going on at back there. we heard in the last kind of fully 5 minutes or so, a controlled explosion of whatever the ordinance was left there. they still picking through that rubble, emergency services have been only area in the area looking for or any kind of clue as to what type of ordinance was use. clearly, whatever it was was very hot, heavy in the last us was of 89 days that we've been a covering these explosions in keys. this is certainly the largest one that i've seen a guesstimate from me personally was suggest is about a half kilometer square area that's actually been damaged now

already on the mer. and various politicians have been down to this site here at one politician gave a very strong statement. he actually said, if you don't want shopping centers in europe to look like this, you need to close the skies. now that close the skies argument isn't appeal to nato for a no fly zone. nato have so far rejected that us is claiming that it will be an escalation against the russians. but again, we've been seeing this for days. now. this is certainly the largest explosion that we've kind of witnessed over the last week or so here in keith here in the north. now, before i wrap up, i just want to point to between those 2 buildings over there, that's actually the frontline of a pin. you can see i was really thin, black spoke there, that was that frontline is still ongoing and we keep hearing shelling are coming from that direction or i am rarely with that moment. thanks for that update from

the capital of ukraine came flying to look. while an ammonia league has been reported at a chemical plant in the northeast and that you created city of sue me, an employee at the so me can prom plant has been injured. the regional governor says it was the result of russian shelling and the leak has now been contained the state emergency services and say that there is no threat to the population. well, it's been more than 8 hours since a russian deadline pass for ukrainian forces in the city of mario pl to surrender. moscow said it would allow civilians to leave if the soldiers laid down their weapons, the cave rejected russia's demand saying there's no question of any surrender. senators ravi has more now from levine, enduring the obstacles of war, indignity in 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 at 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 occupy, as did. it is terror that will be remembered for centuries to come more or escaping war every day. but getting to safety can mean risking your life active conflict sounds rushing checkpoints. ukrainians say it's difficult to know which way safe. and not everybody makes it. not about 90 loon each does right. they began to destroy our city completely house after house of battles took place on every street lodge. every house became a target. murray, opal's residence fled,

a city still under russian attack from levine, if a plea to end the war better. 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 some one else's land. if someone else's territory with you are not liberating or you are barbarians, we hope that you all leave and never disturb anyone. ever again. julia, the rawhide community. yeah. at the largest reception center in the vive, volunteers, prepare for an influx of evacuees from the wars of 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 man long, we were passing through a russian checkpoint and saw a lot of bodies lying near the road. some of them were shot but some missing body parts,

not 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 chechen fighters hold people hostage, they say, knowing ukrainian military will not shoot at civilians. well, oh, 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 a slough says he will go back to fight. well, let's speak to zane live now as embers robbie. johnny is from live at zane at terrible scenes at terrible scenes and not really like it's been a reprieve. yes that's,

that's unfortunately correct. we've been quite fortunate to speak to many ukrainians throughout this conflict, experiencing the worst experience of their lives. and we've encountered a great deal of resilience and that's something certainly reflected in their leaders as well. volunteers the fighters, the deputy prime minister of the countries of the defense minister as well as the mayor of mariel rejecting an offer a safe passage and. ready surrender of that city that was given by russia. now this is certainly something that will complicate the evacuation process of people that have been trying to flee marianna. we know that there were 10 active humanitarian corridors throughout the day yesterday and the day before. but now that is down to a mario who was initially planned to be one of those locations that was going to be evacuated today. but it is not on the list at the moment. and that certainly is a reflection of the activity happening on the ground that city is still contested. still has not fallen. and the people,

they are still fighting back against the russian invasion, the russian forces continuing to operate there. now we have seen since yesterday arrivals of people fleeing mario as well as other conflict areas in that region coming into the vive, finding safe ways into the city, and then being taken in by government housing facilities as well as residents of the view that are here they're expected to continue to move on further into poland and other parts of europe. the u. s. has said that 10000000 people so far have been displaced in the country. we know less $3000000.00 people have fled to areas outside of ukraine, mostly in poland. and we're hearing from you cranes. general staff is that from the there intelligence, russia is preparing for a long war, which is something that is likely to continue to exacerbate the displacement of people happening in this conflict. or is that, and thanks very much, has embers robbie the in the beef? all right, let's move on to the, from russia. now,

the kremlin spokesman dmitri pet scoff, says hasn't been any significant progress in peace towards between russia and ukraine our course washer marlborough is falling events in moscow, and hash m. s. c. have to wonder where any progress is likely to come from. where are we at with on going towards? well, nick, now when it comes to the talk, demetri pasco said that for any meeting between president vladimir putin of russia and rosie meyer lansky of ukraine to happen, there needs to be a substance to be an agreement on your issues, to be able to move forward i think there's no progress on the key issues that the russians have been saying since the start that they have a list of demands and they want the ukrainians to agree on those days. basically acknowledging and recognizing crimea as a russian and the independence of the ganske and donates. now on the neutral status

of ukraine. this seems to be indication that the ukrainian del open to the idea of the neutrality, which for the russians, is quite important because it will prevent ukraine in the future from contemplating the idea of joining nature. now it remains to be seen whether we can see some progress in the upcoming days or weeks because these issues are quite fundamental from a russian perspective. if there is a yes from ukraine when it comes to crimea, guns underneath that would be the way for significant comprehensive agreement as the russians are expected to see if they don't see an agreement of those. this is just likely to further continue the escalation in the region or may and in moscow we've had this said ongoing court case over matter in the capitol. tell us more about that. well, when, when,

when i met, i decided to the, the parent company of instagram and facebook to relax. rules on political speech, particularly on facebook that has paved the way for strong a post, which the russians said were threatening the lives of russian citizens. and russian officials, they were very angry when they saw post talking or mentioning death to russians, death to russian soldiers, death to russian army. and they said, this is the moment we have to tackle the issue. they started by blocking instagram and facebook. now the prosecutor general is asking for the prosecution to move forward with the aim of designating meta as an extremist organization. there was an attempt by matter to stop the proceedings. it was denied that about by the court today, which means that the general prosecutor is going to move forward. now we have to

wait and see if the court decides that matter is an extremist organizations will have to see what kind of ramifications, legal ramifications it will have on their parent company or facebook and instagram . the idea being is that most likely we're going to see a permanent ban of meta if the designation is implemented by the court. this is seen from a russian perspective as part of the campaign. the accused, the west of instrumental isaac here in, which is basically what they say, a campaign of this information of fake news targeting the russians targeting of the russian military campaign in the crate. and presenting this as a totally opposed to what the russians have been saying in the past. they say that our campaign has been targeting the nationalists and the new nurses, and that we have had been voicing concerns about the security architecture in the region. and the threats of the nation is supposed to, the russian speaking community in the ukraine. those concerns were disregarded by

the international committee. by the way, is, are we, we've been under constant campaign of fake news and this information. therefore we need to take action. and this explains why now they're moving towards designating the matter as an extremist organization or passion. that's the picture from multiple thanks very much. are probably more still ahead on this news, aren't you? for ministers consider slap even more sanctions on russia that will make any difference on the ground. we have sports, we up to of course, fire stopped play will tell you about a heated encounter. the dutch football league ah, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has called on you leaders to do more to stop russians attack on his country. in she vice our values of the same

as your ukraine, as part of europe. you can see our desire to be together with europe. i'm part of your boxes. we are fighting for it on the battlefield. you can find for this with your words, with your pressure on the politicians, germans, you have the power european power, which is more than any missiles and tanka without trade with you, your companies and banks. russia won't have money for this war. in order to have peace as soon as possible, you can do it just no one has the right to destroy people. whether you create the latest comments, come as see foreign and defense ministers it meeting brussels to discuss the latest developments in ukraine. all the while the used foreign policy chief support l said the indiscriminate bombing and merrier poll could only be described as a war crime. so this is something awful. we have to condemn into struggle domes. this is a war crying, a mation war cry, and what's happening that there will be completely destroyed and people will be odd

by 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 related to energy. let's speak to our diplomatic editor, james by twos in brussels and james that so, but i'm talking war crimes ahead of what will be a busy week of diplomacy? yes, we've got not just foreign ministers, we got defense ministers of the e. u also meeting here together. so big session of diplomacy taking place to day ahead of president biden, coming to europe when we'll see all the heads of state of the european union, and also all had sustain nato meeting on thursday. with regard to the e. you, you've seen president lensky again calling for more sanctions. i think it's notable this time what we saw mr. barrel of the start of the meeting. he wasn't announcing

new sanctions because every time in the past, since that started the invasion, when there's been a meeting of foreign ministers, he's come out at the start of the meeting and said, today we're going to announce new sanctions. well, that got to the point, i think where the consensus has run out, particularly on energy. they will try and get a 5th round of sanctions. but i don't think it's necessarily gonna satisfy the ukrainians and deal with russian or oil and gas. also does the issue of accountability for what's going on in ukraine. you heard mr. burrell talk about this being a massive war crime. how are they going to deal with that? well, the international criminal court has already started an investigation, but many believe there's a gap in what the international criminal court can do. the crime of aggression is not one that it can investigate and somehow calling for nuremberg style tribunal international tribunal to be set up. that's been a call, mainly from more for the politicians and elder statesman. but i can tell you,

i put the idea to 3 of the e. u foreign ministers this morning and they said yes, it should be discussed. we are open to that sort of idea or a james back with you as the day progresses there in brussels. thanks very much. in the meantime. jane's res reporting well ukraine. second largest city has been a target since the start of the invasion, and russian forces are yet to take control of khaki for. but as i think, beg reports the call some bombing has cause catastrophic damage. an eerie silence hangs over quarter 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 citizens. 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 that in the following days, i walked in the streets thousands of times and there are 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 this. and so now there is no place where then cats can come back since the start of the war, maria has refused to leave her home city in ne, in ukraine. this is with she stayed to document what the russians are doing. great, sit there with here during the net, so keep place and so even the net says you're 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 harkey would be hard to 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 lose some of those who remain struggled for food. this man brought frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. i don't know who i, 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 head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is taken this including inside the trains, little jelly, my dusty been like a caliber. 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 food is so, so volunteers bring it to our side. but as 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 crushes, armed forces, say they have hit a military depot in western ukraine's river in the region. the defense ministry says high precision missiles destroyed storage facilities for miss austin, ammunition, let them get them eval gorsline on the night of march 21st high speed air based wing missile the tactical center for training of foreign mercenaries and ukrainian nationalist formations as a general military ground no via loop america in the revenue region. more than 80

mercenaries and nationalists have been destroyed like studio or let's try get an overview of just where we're at right now. we can speak to yun, it's bez ins who's a senior research at the center for security and strategic research at the national defense academy of latvia. joining us now from lack of his capital of riga, janice bearskin burdens welcome to the program. it said this has been going on and clear what nearly 4 weeks now at the russia, so called special military operation. what is your assessment of where we stand right now? where the russians planted wrong, leading thigh ow, variation they were convinced that probably because of fault intelligence, that the entire operation would be solved in for 5 days. and because of these faulty or data janice, they had the operational right now is that they are unable to move forward very quickly to accomplish the objectives that they have. and as a result,

we can divide what's happening in ukraine into france. the sovereign front ended in norfolk front and indian norfolk front. they are really stuck. and in this softened fraud, right now, they are trying to take control over mario poll. and though that's where we are unfortunately seeing the great as a human law sees. and uh, since it is great, and we're actually on that warfare. yeah. right. on the southern front too. there is odessa and we're now hearing was dropping of the 1st strikes on odessa, which is a key city in the south. tell us more about the significance of that and what the, the russian objective there is. no, do me in odessa or remarkable in odessa wealth or dare say ease are very significant cds strategically because by taking my old bow they have crimea,

g, d, crimea, and then by having or their said, they might controlling tire black c sold with their, their significantly he said, mike, this hasn't planned out as quickly as putin might have liked, but he is still gaining ground at great cost of human lives and livelihoods, and infrastructure. yes, it's happening in the as far all russia military doctrine isa. i'm at work i met beats were prize because in the last years they develop it quite a flexible and modern military doctrine booked properly because of the operational problems. they are here on the ground. now they are going back to soviet tactics similar to what we saw in grossly in, unfortunately in a little more recently. right. and those tactics. so siege tactics we've seen the ukraine has been very defined, but are those tactics slightly to eventually under mine at the ukrainian sensor resolve? do you sense?

well, i think that's one of the objective is for us then to make my up all in them. they tried new heart eve birth to move specifically about my up all. it's probably to make also an example for the rest of ukraine of what they are capable of doing. and what with what we've seeing in mary poland with this latest news of attacks on air odessa. how do you see this panning out from here? well, i think that dig into consideration g strategic significance or both or there. so in morrow i think that most urgent target for the rush. all right now is mario up, or they want to take control of the cd because it's d administrative a gap thou, all of the, the looking for region. and they needed to see don bass after all bookings declared the independence of the a didn't thyroid on boss were region. so they need to take my up old 1st then to

establish their can 2nd to make a land corridor or non fuel crimea. and them 3rd, so gain diplomatic leverage against ukraine. a janice presents appreciate your analysis. thanks very much indeed. and james batten's, johnny serf reagan la, thank you very much. was that i had her not sir. we me margarita, who survived the siege of leningrad as a child is not really living truly. it is you credit plus officials in hong kong update the cove. 19 restrictions with plans to lift a flight on 9 countries. and it's for muslim, is research is continues as a thresh, real, madrid, l. classical gemma highlight ah,

a there looks like we may see some flooding for eastern sections of spain. so here's those details. bursts of rain around valencia, whether warnings in play here is over the next step, 12 hours we could see up to 70 millimeters of brain, and those totals will mount. so over the next 2 days, possible to see a $180.00 plus. now for the other side of the mediterranean, we've got this northerly wind. so that's dragon down temperatures is sample rate through athens, below average is sample just picks up about 3 centimeters of snow. and we'll see those winds crank up to about 50 kilometers per hour for estoppel. ok now on to some of the good stuff for central parts of europe. plenty of sun here, temperatures, wall above average. look at paris. 18 degrees. i think he may hit 20 over the next few days and same goes for london as well. but we're going to see a bit or cloud cover. we've been to the area here is 17 degrees for brussels. are those winds we're talking about through the aegean? they're also impacting areas of libya and egypt to board,

the north that stirring up the sand and dust in time for southern africa. we've got bursts of rain for eastern portions of south africa. i heat wave for the western cape coastal areas, but it is a nice stay in bill, a whale with a high of 25 degrees on monday. enjoy. we'll see you soon. take care. ah, some journeys are tougher than others. but this throat is even tougher for a car truck. it's dangerous. i want to do a world follow them. iraq and truck drivers. indeed, during their life, just to me collecting these graphs, they might break your miracle or even kill me because of the important from i can find out if 0 from the front lines alpha 0 correspondence continue to my port every

angle of the war in ukraine. there is a humanitarian crisis erupting on multiple fronts. if not only manage cable yourself, but also the passionate life on the russian occupation when you try a street totally destroyed, keep central station has become evacuation centralization, but rush and force is coming closer. pretensions are going up by the hour day without is thereafter. the latest development, lou ah, and again, you're watching out 0 reminder about top stories and a passenger plane carrying 132 people has crashed in southern china. the boeing 737 came down in countryside, drove in the glen. she,

a regional estate media says the number of casualties that this meant on a new overnight curfew has been ordered for ukraine's capital upkeep, after at least 8 people were killed in late night shelling the city's mad says several homes and a shopping center were targeted. an ammonium can be reported to the chemical plant in the northeastern city of so me, the regional governor says it was the results of russian shelling and the leak has now been contained are i, let's get some more in our top story that plane crash in southern china, we can speak now to run bought shoes, the founding director of the of law aviation consultancy firm at he's also professor of international aviation law at the australian national university joins live now from sydney. at mister botched, these accidents are always terribly, terribly shocking. aren't they? perhaps especially so in this case, because chinese airlines have a pretty good safety reco it's very much so i believe it's been

12 years since it's been a major fatality in china and, but it's relatively new way across. so that is indeed shocking news. how widely used is this model of air craft and what is its safety record? look that 737800 is a modern j l ana and has an impeccable safety record. but obviously this comes at the back of the tragic events which they spent in 3 cent mall. so it's certainly bad news. the bowing operation right with this plane, of course, is completely distinct from the max model. isn't it? the 737900 has been work course and i believe that china aisd and have a 600 jet aircraft. and i think they've got turn somewhere along the lines

of a 13737. so it's a very reliable aircraft, and it's, it's quite a amazing story that an aircraft in crash on a 2 hour class. right. it is speculation at this point, but what kinds of things might cause a crash of this scale? sure, and i should preface the fact that it's not wise to speculate, but look at a 2 hour demit flight and it was 40 minutes in landing and it probably would normally have been at top of descent. so you're looking at nate, being above 30000 seater, but apparently our witness accounts indicate that it crashed into terrain at a very high speed. so it's most most unusual situation, said china except ation experts and investigators that have been sent of course to

the scene. what kind of things will they be looking for? look, the 1st thing is that they've got to make sure that they are the wreckage site is being completely contained. because it's within the 1st 24 hours that they've got to make sure that they can find all that. and obviously the, the evidence will be from the cockpit voice recorder in the black box that will give indications as to what happened on white gate during that time. and they did wrong, but we appreciate your expertise. thanks very much indeed for that. thanks a lot. yes, thanks very much. thanks for having me. well, returning to the warn you created this, we heard earlier. russian forces have been showing the suburbs of the coastal city for desa, which is a major naval and shipping help. alger a spoke to dora green, who lives so she's pleading for help from the international commute. we're here

explosions every day. and officials saying that this is our defense system. error defense system working. so as far as we're now defense system was working pretty well. the whole city i, i went out couple of times and i see pictures from the center of the city and the whole city is in covered in barricades. we don't have like exact plan of what we will be doing, but we have our emergency bags packed just in case anything happens and we have to move quickly and to have been thinking about vacation. i mean, for now the question is this just to get to the border? if we, if we need to, to anyone who hears this, so any citizen of the planet, and i want to ask you to not keep silent, do not keep silence. please spread the word it's, it's little genocide of ukrainians. so please spread the word if you can please

donate armed forces or ukraine. please don't aid from a tenant communitarian 8. i'm sorry. and please don't. i don't go organizations that are helping the refugees. and there's many people, many ukrainians dying from russian rockets. so please, to any officials who may, who might hear this, please close the sky over crane ukrainian president vladimir zalinski his appeal to israel for help against russia. he addressed members of these railey parliament on sunday. zalinski compared the russian invasion to the crimes of nazi germany. hurry force reports from western israelis gathered and television to watch his speech. that blood amused 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, appealing to what he said out. the sense of shared history is always in 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. he 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 doing 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,
