2:04 pm
that's something that vladimir zalinski has been asking for more air defense units to the international community. but that child, we keep hearing of close disguise for nato to establish of no fly zone over the country. that's not gonna happen. nato say it's an escalation, but that is still a chance we're hearing. i'm just going to move out the way again. and so you, you probably can't see, but there is some black smoke in between those 2 buildings over there. that is, are pain. it's one of the front lines about 15 kilometers away from here, or where the russian forces are being fought up with that we're fighting, sorry, with the ukrainian forces. a lot of people are suggesting that if there isn't a attack in cave, if there is a ground and vision into keep, it will be places like that. that will be the staging. post up for attacks like that. but that doesn't matter right now. right now there's a campaign where, where people are just completely fragment. this has been yes, intern. thank you very much. have brings up to st. imran con line press in keith.

2:06 pm
the cold, the early cold place now, or basements with the people in basements. so we bury them here with them with a problem. it is difficult to see how life can go on for people in a place like this. many looked at me moody, 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 occupies did, or 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 conflicts, films, russian checkpoints, ukrainians, say it's difficult to know which way a safe and not everybody makes. not about of 19 inch does right. they began to destroy our city completely house after house of battles took place on every street . every house became a target. murray, opal's residents fled
2:07 pm
a city still under russian attack from levine, a plea to end the war. better. he arossi young. my dear russians always. we ask you all to go home, deal with your own families with them. you have entered some one 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 will. yeah. at the largest reception center in review, volunteers prepare for an influx of evacuees from the wars of thousands of 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. norma, when 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. no one ever had one checkpoint in the village. we were waiting for 2 buses. there were part of our convoy,
2:08 pm
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, 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 flooded slough says he will go back to fight. then basra, the old 0 live. let's get the view now from russia kremlin spokesmen. dmitri pet called says there hasn't been any significant progress in pays talks between moscow and ukraine. hashem barra is in the capital hashem. why have these talk
2:09 pm
stores with basically, emily? the absence of a breakthrough means that on the key issues, there is no progress whatsoever. now from a russian perspective, this is exactly what would they be saying they wanted the, the want the ukrainians to recognize crimea as russian and the independence or, and le ganske under the esc as an independent states. and then they would like to move forward with the idea of a neutral status of ukraine. something that the cranium indicated the are open to, which is given strong, guarantees to the rushes that ukraine won't be other contemplating the idea of joining nature by the key. crucial issues for the time being, remain those 2 issues, or they want the ukrainians to recognize crimea as a russian and recognize the independence of le ganske and don yeske. this is quite
2:10 pm
an important moment because the rushes i've been saying that they are looking forward to see strong indications of progress that would pave the way to a cease fire. and then for the political talks to move forward. but that is not going to answer most of the concerns that have been voiced by the russians over the past few weeks. i mean, the russia has also being saying that the needs to be a, we're thinking of the whole security architecture in europe. this explains why, for example, saga lover of the russ appointments that have been saying over the last few days that the russians have lost illusions that they would rely in the future or with that with their markers when it comes to those security arrangements. and they said that the nate who has never been an forthcoming will come to an to the need to stop moving eastward. so now there are 2 paths which are happening as we speak, which is basically the 1st and the most important one. now, looking forward to see any progress when he comes to the earth,
2:11 pm
to the issues regarding ukraine and russia and on the bigger picture, the need for stronger rent is to the russians that the nature is going to rethink its strategy in the eastern part of europe. and thought, talking to the russians, because they say the russians say that the expansion of nato is, was, has been always a major national security concern that was never addressed by the americans. and by later on, this was why they have been all we think that we have been betrayed by the trans atlantic a life now. they would like to see what they have been describing of injustice to be fixed and dressed once in full. alright, thank you for breaking down for us hashim l. how bother are in moscow? thank you. to the world. use down a passenger playing, carrying 100. 32 people has crashed in southern china. the boeing 737 came down in countryside. ne would jo in the long she region of the country start media says the

2:24 pm
as rosalind jordan reports from washington d. c. the nato meeting convened by the secretary general. this coming thursday in brussels will include the world leaders of the military alliance, and certainly they're going to be discussing the best ways to improve security assistance to the ukrainian military. but the world leaders, including the u. s. president joe biden, and the british prime minister boris johnson, are also going to have an opportunity to talk about ways of trying to keep diplomacy on track. russian and ukrainian diplomats are supposed to meet on monday to try once again to find a way to get to a cease fire. but the bigger question of how to reach a lasting peace between the 2 countries is certainly already top of mind in world capitals. there's also the question of trying to make certain that the economic sanctions package is actually taking effect in russia, and that it is somehow having an impact on the way that vladimir putin,
2:25 pm
the russian president, is prosecuting this war. but certainly, they're going to have to start thinking about what happens once the war ends. how should the west engage with russia if vladimir putin is still in power to the world news now in hong kong is easing some of its kind of a 19 restrictions in class learning will resume fiscal students next month and the quarantine period for travelers entering the territory will be reduced, but clement is they. these were some of the strictest border controls in the entire world. so for residents here, it does come as a huge relief crossing the quarantine period to 7 days. if you test negative at scrapping of that white band from 9 different countries, including the united kingdom, including united states as 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
2:26 pm
expense of it because they couldn't take time off work. so indeed, it is a relief for people here. 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 time, 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 hub 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 it will be relaxed and then coming weeks and months, including the 2 people gathering ban 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. we are told on the provision that there
2:27 pm
is no surge or rebound of cases in the coming weeks and months. that is one thing that carry land, 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 relaxed. the u. s. senate is beginning confirmation hearings on monday for the 1st a black american woman and nominated to the top colds. catan g brown, jackson is president joe biden speak to replace justice steven brier. who's retiring? i did your 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 at 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
2:28 pm
to them instantaneously. in case there was any subtle bias. we're just lack of celerity 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 roja to succeed in whatever she chose to do, jackson has been a federal judge for 9 years and currently sits on the dc 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,
2:29 pm
judge jackson deserves to be confirmed as an act just as 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 cor position a year ago with support from 3 republicans. jackson were place 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
2:30 pm
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. ah, and are you watching out a 0 these the top stories this hour and you overnight? curfew has been ordered for ukraine's capital cave after at least 8 people would.
