ah, on counting the costs could the war and ukraine plunge the global economy and why you, why says russia to china as you on to survive, sanctions pays the us dollar in danger. could croup co currencies help russia evade financial punishment? counting the calls on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm fully bachelor with the news. our live from doha. on day 26 of the war in ukraine, coming up. russian forces hate a shopping center and residential area in ukraine's capital killing at least 8

people, ukrainian soldiers in the besieged, se sincerely of mary, a pole defy a russian deadline to lay down their weapons. keeping a record of what's happening to her. a city we meet a woman, determined not to be forced out of khaki by the russian bombardments, and also on this news. our senate confirmation hearings begin for the 1st black woman to be nominated to the u. s. supreme court. around here, similar to this full boss alone, a thresh, real madrid in our classic coat and ruffle and the dolls perfect starts. the season is ended by taylor fritz. the american plays the 1st most is talked louise korea. ah, thank you very much for joining us. i care a few is set to come into effect in ukraine's capital in just under 3 hours. it follows the latest attack by russian force in keith,

which killed at least 8 people. and it's happening as a diplomatic battle deepens between russia and the united states. ah, this is why keith's leaders are trying to keep people off the streets or shopping center that was hit late on sunday, rescue teams have been looking through the rubble to find survivors. keep her seen a number of attacks in the past week, but russia's advance on the city has slowed. well, we have a team of correspondence across the latest developments. kimberly hawk, it is at the white house hush, a mile. barbara is in moscow. there are both her villages, diplomatic developments for us, but for us we go to iran con, in ukraine's capital keep. so a curfew coming into effect in about 3 hours time. emron tell us about the situation in ukraine's capital and what preparations are being made ahead of this curfew. well, let me bring you up to date with the latest attack we saw. we've been reporting

from the site actually all morning, but we moved on from there. now the attack took place about 7, i sorry about 1030 p. m last night. and when we went down to the scene, it was just massive amounts of damage everywhere. it's the biggest attack that we've seen in cave, in at least a week. certainly the biggest one i've seen since i've been reporting from her a guesstimate was suggest that it was least a half a square kilometer wide. and when we were there on the scene, that was a controlled explosion of unexploded and then exploded ordinance. but this plot took place in a shopping mall and a residential complexes, a military facility anywhere near that. now, it was a fairly recent development. it was being built in last couple of years. the shopping mall itself had only been open for a couple of years. and what residents were telling us that they heard this a thunderous sound. and the one thing that we keep hearing from resins it,

i think it must be a ukrainian saying is they felt that the sky was falling in. and this is one woman actually told us that she thought that was it. that was the end. the russians were invading and she was about to die. now there she survived the attack because they was sleeping in that corridors rather than in that bedroom. so anyway, and he got the entire front of the building about, say, are 5600 meters away from the shopping mall where the epicenter was, where the attack actually took place. the entire front of the building was actually completely destroyed. people was sweeping up. i'm people wondering if they were ever going to be able to get back in those homes. remember. busy people had only just moved into those places. this was like a new star for them. so it's a real of the feeling of panic and the threat when night falls either they might go to bed and they my hair and in the north of cuba. will that get up very early in the morning because that has been attacked. the tax normally take place at night.

now the curfew that takes place starts at about 3 hours. now it's going to last until 7 am wednesday morning. that doesn't have anything to do with the attacks that are coming through from what are what we're hearing. and it's the 2nd time that we're going through this type of 35. our curfew is, is a way of finding russian saboteurs, that may will still be in the city by getting everybody off the streets. it allows the security forces to mount a major security operation within that time for another curfew. does mean that no shops are open. the any shops here, the are open. are soup markets, no soup marks be open. no pharmacies will be open. the restaurants who are shut anyway. however, getting people are kind of stocking up on food for that limited period of time that be forced in their houses. and just a couple of political reactions of what i tell you about before i leave you of the mer deputy mayor of here who was on the side explosion i was talking about earlier . said it was the biggest one that he'd see. and he was blaming the russians for

this, and he actually turned around and said on cameras, on his own facebook feed, that if you don't want this to happen in shopping centers in your, you need to help us now. him, ron, thank you for that. update him, ron can live for us in ukraine's capital keith. meanwhile, a russian caught his band social media platforms, facebook and instagram after calling their parent company, an extremist organisation that's up to met. i relax it's roles on calls for violence against russian soldiers accompany, says it made allowances for political expression in light of the war in ukraine life to hush him. i had borrow, who's in moscow for a, so hush him, russia had already band facebook and instagram was blocked. what is this new ruling about? would basically this is a send a message to matter, a message from the russians that they don't tolerate. the easing of the rules when

it comes to political speech and content policy that was ordered by a by meta which, by the way, for many people to boast, matt post a message years seen as very critical of the russian government under a russian, a citizens, the government here, moscow saying that basically the has paved the way for hate speech to thrive in both platforms. and that it was under my, undermining and threatening the lives of russian citizens. and a russian officials on this explains why they had to go for. but blocking both applications, instagram and facebook and then considering met at the parent company and extremist organization, which by the way, for it to be bad. now the general prosecutor said that while this has been decided and made people with instagram and facebook account should not worry any repercussions whatsoever by the russian government. so this comes against the

backdrop of what the russian government has been describing as a coordinated campaign by the west to discredit the, the, the russian military campaign in ukraine with posting what the government is saying is a wave. unprecedented wave or fakin years discrediting russian officials and russian government and the military campaign in ukraine. and this explains why they are moving forward with a 0 tolerance policy, particularly on when it comes to their platforms are widely seen by the russian government as propagating her hate speech and her and, and allowing people to use those postings that the rushes are seeing. threat of the old people in terms of a direct p starks hash in between russia and ukraine. what are the prospects or that what it does seem that they are moving any further. this is,

according to the russian to the kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pasco has said that this, there is no breakthrough that could pay the way to a meeting between the russian president vladimir putting and his a korean encounter. butler villanueva, zalinski, and russia. as far as it is concerned, it has presented a list of demands that said if implemented by the ukrainians will be conducive to a cease fire and a larger border political settlement. that would turn a chapter and start a new one. they would like the ukrainian government to recognize crimea as a russian. they would also like the you, they want to see the ukrainian government recognize in both the ganske and only asked as independent states. now, the other important issue is the neutral status of ukraine. the russians are saying that neutrality status is a guarantee for the russians that ukraine won't be contemplating the idea of

joining nato in the near future. now the ukrainians themselves express an openness to the idea of the big in favor of a neutrality status in the near future by the problem which is now persisting, which is about crimea, and logan's and don yeske and a less that is a breakthrough on the, on this to kiss sticking issues, we won't be able to see any and to the military campaign in a time. so this comes against the backdrop of other grievances, the habits shaping the a russian narrative over the last few months, which is basically they saying that the reason why we lost the ministry campaign is were targeting nationalist and was described as new. that is in ukraine. and they say they have been committing atrocities against russian speaking communities. in the a great number 2, they're saying that the larger picture is about grievances that have not been addressed by the americans and need to in particular, since 1997, when they decided to move a forward eastwards. and they said this is against the very spirit of the agreement

signed in the past in the early ninety's between the russians and between the ne, 2 and the international community. now they're saying those grievances should be addressed should be met. and this explains why, for example, target wrote, russia's famous has been saying over the last few days that the russians have lost illusions in, in relying on the lying in the future with the americans. when it comes to the security architecture in europe. they say now it's about time for the european, for the americas and nato, to listen to the grievances and the concerns that have invoice for quite some time by the rushes. if they would like to see them partnering, teaming up once again about about the new arrangements in the, in the region particular in europe. thank you for that hash m i had barrel life or say in moscow. now tensions between moscow and washington diplomatic tensions are also on the rise rushes foreign ministry has said that it summoned the u. s. ambassador to tell him that remarks by u. s. president joe biden,

last week about russia's president vladimir putin had pushed to court bilateral ties to the brink of collapse. president biden last week said that present, put in was a war criminal for ascending tens of thousands of troops into ukraine. let's bring in our white half score point correspond and kimberly how get, what's the reaction in washington to this can be or watching carefully for that reaction. the u. s. president, as he often does, consults with partners and allies before speaking to react to the latest developments. in this case, the summoning of the us ambassador by russia. this is certainly serious and being treated gravely as such, given the fact that there is also the threat that ties could potentially be severed between the united states and russia over this issue. and so as a result, the u. s. president consulting as we speak with the his counterparts from italy, from the u. k, from france and from germany. and we expect he'll respond after that. but it wasn't

just the u. s. president, that called vladimir putin, a war criminal. it was also his secretary of state entity, blake. in other words, the united states doubling down on that accusation. one that comes with serious legal connotations. it's a major moment that ted does have repercussions that could even escalate beyond the conflict between russia and ukraine. not only doesn't make these negotiations between russia and ukraine, they're already fragile, even more so that you have to remember as well. the united states is working very carefully with russia as it seeks to revive the also very fragile as negotiations over bringing and limiting iran's nuclear program. in other words, the 2015 j. c. p. o, a, the agreement to live at ron's nuclear program. they want to bring that back, they see russia playing a role in that. and so that is why this is also particularly damaging. so again,

watching very carefully for that call to wrap up to see a response from the united states on this latest development. not only that, the u. s. ambassador to russia being summoned, but also the threat of ties being severed over this accusation by the united states . the vladimir putin is a war criminal for targeting civilians in his invasion of ukraine. kimberly how kate at the white house. thank you very much for that. kimberly narrowly we spoke to ukraine's former president petro shinkel. he says ukrainians have fought bravely to hold off for washing advanced, but they desperately need more help from the outside world. throughout the country . ukrainian demonstrate medical stopping their big russian army and them surprise the world we here to fight for the whole europe to fight for the whole world. and we stop here. the read definitely demonstrate the unique unity of the ukrainians. and we re definite the count

of the unity of the whole world and i want to thank all the. busy worlds for the resolution of the general assembly, united nation when one act what one countries vote for us. there is no any nation in the world. busy one fees smaller than be great, but we never give up and therefore be feast, not capitulation. and with that situation, if now we allow who job to grab you grain who can do not stop who can go. busy as far as we the world allow them to go, and that's why to help you bring to assist you great to help you, clay, not barbie, her money or military to help us to save the world. we need a full embargo embargo on the crate. and this is the 5th package of sanctioned which is already on the table of the european union. and on the 24th, or for march,

their president biden will have a g 7 meeting will participate in the european union council meeting and will participate on their mate assignment. and with this situation, all 3 world institutions would make a decision about ukraine. how to stop, and if we do not increase the pressure and put you to bring a piece of the board will never end it. and please do not put all the pressure just on ukraine. we are here paying the huge price with the thousands and thousands of your grain, m. ah . and returning now to the situation in ukraine, russian troops a fight warning shots and tear gas had protested in care san at least one person was injured in a demonstration caisson was the 1st major city to come under russian control.

they've been demonstrations in the southern poor city ever since. and russian forces f bomb, the nearby city of mich alive, which is near the frontline of the conflict. the blast was seen in the direction of the cities, port rushes defense ministry says it use its new hypersonic, messiah on targets in mich, live on sunday, and says, armed forces, say that hit a military depot in western ukraine's wave ne region. the defense ministry says high precision massage, destroy short storage facilities, and missiles and ammunition blocked america. the rebels globe 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 river region, more than 80 mercenaries and nationalists have been destroyed. but as ukraine's army has rejected, russian demands that his forces in my uphold sir brenda moscow had offered to allow civilians to leave. but only if ukrainian troops laid down their weapons. zane bas

to punish her gave the ring 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 from a struggle for food. this man brought frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. i'm not sure, i hopefully will end soon so that our children can leave. mapleton begun 55410. 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 included inside the trains will jelly my darcy been like i tell it, 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

. ah, tens of thousands of children were born into or lived under the iso regime in iraq and syria. now, many are in camps either orphans, all with a widowed mothers, rejected by their own communities kicking the length of people are going to welcome the most of that, of course. and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories. the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera is gay city has become a major global issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit, just precocious life. i mean, it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy told me, is water. al jazeera examines the social, financial, and environmental impact of water privatization loads of water on al jazeera.

ah ah, you're watching the news hour on al jazeera, a reminder of the latest developments in ukraine. at least 8 people have been killed in overnight shilling in the capital key. several homes and a shopping center were targeted. a new curfew will come into effect for the city at 1800 hours g m t. a deadline said by russian, a forces for ukrainian forces to surrender in maya or has passed. cave rejected moscow's offer to allow civilians to leave the city in exchange for soldiers, lane don offs, and a russian port has ban social media platforms,

facebook and instagram after calling their parent company, an extremist organisation that's often led to relax its walls on calls for violence against russian soldiers now ukraine's president voted me, as lensky has called on e u. leaders to do more to stop russia. she vice with our values of a same as your ukraine, as part of europe. you can see our desire to be together with europe and parts of europe like 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. europe has the power, which is more than any missiles and tanks, without trade with you, your companies and banks. russia won't have money for this law. in order to have peace as soon as possible. you can do it. no one has the right to destroy people. while the ukrainian leaders comments come as you foreign and defense ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss development senior crane they use for in the policy

. chief joseph barrell says the indiscriminate bombing in merrier poll could amount to a war crime. they have to condemn in the stronger domes. this is a war crying, amazing war cry. and what's happening in the city will be completely destroyed and people will be our dying. we will continue to work in supporting ukraine with all of our sources. we continue talking about what kind of sanction we can think again, more especially rated vendors, our diplomatic editor james spaces in brussels. he says you officials are seriously considering imposing tougher sanctions on rush some of this preparatory work because we've actually got their bosses coming in later in the week. we have all of the heads of state and all of the nate nater had some state and government coming here on thursday, president biden making a trip to europe. and i think they'll be showing us show of unity and also thinking

what else can they do? and particularly on the issue of sanctions, that's a difficult one. now for the european union, they surprised everyone i think by the stringent nature the sanction some of the toughest sanctions they've ever put in place. but they've got to the point, i think, where they going to find it hard to go any further and find consensus to go any further. and particularly there's a disagreement on energy. on cutting, rushes, oil and gas imports into europe. europe relies the u. about 40 percent of its energy comes from russia. that would be a very big move, but it's opposed by some countries, notably germany is among those countries. so talk about sanctions again, and maybe they will find some of the loopholes that might be there in the existing sanctions and put in another package of sanctions. but i don't think it's going to go as far as the ukrainians want and deal with the energy sector. let's take

a look at some of these avenues now and a passenger plane carrying 132 people has crashed in southern china. the china eastern, boeing 737800 jet, was on its way from cone maine to quanzhou. it came down in the countryside near war joel, in the one she region. about 30 minutes before landing the plains impact sparked a forest fire. people rushed to the scene to find scattered pieces or sousa lodge. there no reports of survivors present changing being has ordered an investigation. katrina, you has moved from aging. we do know that this was a boeing 737 passenger plane run by the airline china easton. and it deposit from the chinese city of couldn't me in the province at around 1 pm local time that it was destined for the city of wong jo due to arrive at 3 pm. that's not far from hong kong. so this is not a very long flight, it's less than 2 hours. now, according to trying to do a v a or here with carrying 132 people,

including 9 crew members. now officials say that they lost contact with the aircraft as a flu of a globe. she proven an area known as joe, and at the time they said it was cruising at about 30000 feet before it abruptly started descending. now there is no wood on the call whatsoever. we do know that according to state media rescue teams are on the way. and there are a number of social media video circulating purporting to show scenes of the crash. and it tells us 2 things. one that this is an extremely remote mountainous region, so it will not be easy for rescue team to reach this area. and secondly, this crash appears to have caused a wildfire as well in this area so far, no official statement had been made by the airline or boeing. but we do know that their websites have both turned to black and white out of respect for the assumed

victims. of this crush, the u. s. has determined the violence committees against myanmar. some one is muslim ringer amount to a generous to genocide and crimes against humanity. more than 730000 or hang of fled. the western were kind state in 2017. when the military staged brutal crat down flight schools have documented the burning of villages and killing of civilians, myanmar is already facing charges of genocide at the international court of justice . italian also has it was widespread. this is tamara, which is crucial for reaching a determination of crimes against learning. given us also wants to a clear consent behind these mass across the intent to destroy will hinder, in whole or important. that in turn has been corroborated by the house of soldiers . importantly, operation, the motor defective, such as one said, he was told by his commanding officer to and i quote, sure that every site of

a person will burn realty rate and kill women orders that he and his unit carried out. well, let's take a closer look at what's happened in myanmar since 19 eighties. you and officials have been warning about the state abuse against minority rowena calling it widespread. and systematic by 2017, the ringer would become victims of what the un calls ethnic cleansing more than a 1000000 fled to bangladesh as cox's bazaar, which became the world's biggest refugee camp in 20. 19 a. you, in fact finding mission accused me on mars army of systematic acts of sexual violence against ethnic communities. while i speak to daniel, i gary about this is a lecture in international law at ra hampton university. he's also a former legal advisor with international commission of juris sin myanmar. he's joining us from london. daniel. very good to have you with us on al jazeera ah myanmar is militarily is, as we've said already facing charges of genocide had been charged court of justice

. what difference will this us designation make? well, i guess this is the case for the ro injured the boulevard better late than never international law, bestows upon stage the obligation to prevent and punish acts of genocide. and in this situation that the united states has now called a genocide, the signs of, of it were very clear in the run up to 2017, but human rights activists and human rights lawyers were ignored. as the international community insisted upon a narrative of, this is a good news story and me a mar is open for business. but what app, what is this declaration as has done, is his will bolster the case that the international court of justice, but key, the key difference here is that we're talking about international crimes that have individuals as responsible have responsibility for these crimes. so that the united states is pointing to the military and saying these individuals should be held

accountable. whereas the case at the international court of justice is holding me at mar as a state accountable, won't tell us more about the case that the international court of justice. how, how strong and solid is the evidence against the military and how, how are we expecting it? to, to move ahead. well i, i think the, the key point here is to understand that that now there can be individual responsibility rather than the court cases. one that is tied down and procedural confusion at the moment where mir mara is saying that the garbage does not have the, the right to take them to the court. that the court doesn't have jurisdiction, but who is representing me and mar at this point is, is also very confused because we have a government in exile versus a military coup. a government has taken over in a military coup. so the legitimacy of the whole process of holding the state is

a very difficult one. yeah, as you say, we now have a military government in place in myanmar. our western countries have imposed broad sanctions on this military government and its businesses after the anti co protest . i. busy earlier this year, late last year in fact, but they don't seem to have deterred the military in its crack down in yan more in the same way as the sanctions against the previous government on neighboring a issue doesn't seem to have deterred than what else should the international community be doing what needs to happen to hold the regime to account? well, did i did states by making this declaration, i hope, is making a commitment or return to a promotion of the international rules based legal order that their actions have done so much to undermine over the last 20 years. what needs to be done is a real commitment to international law and international human rights in particular

to prevent and punish those, these type of ass. and this, for example, if the, you know, if the united states is serious about this declaration has to be coupled with action, there has to be either the use of the national guard, some kind of tribunal. but what about the international criminal court, which is designed to deal with this precisely, this issues of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. united states needs to support the investigation is going on at the international criminal court and the engine independent international mechanism for me and my that is investigating other crimes associated with the acts committed against the different minority groups in me. i'm are thank you, daniel for talking to us about this. thank you for inside daniel. i gary joining us there live from london. we want to take him out to washington d. c. way. confirmation hearings for the 1st black woman to be nominated to the supreme court. on the way judge catan g brown,

jackson was announced as president joe biden speak last month. she said to succeed judge stephen bryan, who will retire in june. let's go to she returns he was on capitol hill force. so the hearings have begun. what can we expect from these confirmation hearings and, you know, will this go through easily it's expected that she's orbits. orbit shore to be confirmed. the democrats don't need any republican votes. to get her confirmation confirmation through. however, as always, they would be nice for the democrats, as well as that concerned to get a few republican dates. and there is an expectation that they may actually get 2 to 3 republican republican votes. what we have them today is the opening statements. then we have tuesday and wednesday, where judge jackson will be questioned. and on the 4th day when outside witnesses will be brought in to testify about the judge's record. and what we've been hearing over over several weeks now is that we're not expecting the sort of fireworks we

saw with the confirmation of bret cavanaugh, for example, who was accused of sexual misconduct. and they were demonstrations throughout and interruptions and so on. partly because what the several reasons would have partly she's already been confirmed 3 times for other very senior positions. she's currently serving on what's thought to be the 2nd most powerful court in the united states with a court of appeals here in dc. she's got have bipartisan bipartisan votes in favor in the past, just very difficult now for people to say, well, she's can pick young qualified. it does seem that having initially flattered with the idea of suggesting which is only being nominated due to affirmative action. that's now not being very favored by some of them, or should we say extreme members of the judicial judiciary committee. the other point is that she's not going to change the political make up of the court, the supreme court if she is confirmed. so there's less stake perhaps in these confirmation hearings, but we are getting some of the parameters of the attacks that may be leveled

against that she was once a public defender. that is a lawyer who is assigned to someone accused of a crime who is, who is unable to actually get their own representation. therefore, she is being, it's suggested by some that she somehow soft on crime because she defends accused criminals. of course, it's in the bill of rights and the constitution that you are allowed, or you should have represent patient in, in a court of law, public defender. she was right brief for members of what for inmates guantanamo bay . obviously that leads to the suggestion that she's soft on terrorism, but again, it's a, it's a right that those who are accused of criminal behavior have have defense and have to have counsel. so those are the sort of attacks that we may see against. but there's a sense that the republicans, har, necessarily isn't necessarily in it. and the sort of attacks that we may fear or perhaps more, a dry run for the mid term elections that coming up and a major plank of that is likely to be that the bite administration as a whole is soft on crime. that there, that the democrats are waging

a war against law and order us about this. this is war with a view to the future rather than for, for judge jackson's confirmation. she thank you very much for that. she ever times . they live there on capitol hill, beaker and virus pandemic now in hong kong is eating some of it's covered 19 restrictions. flight bands will be scrap 10. quarantine period for residents will be reduced from 14 days to 7, brit canada. tacitus, an apparent see change in hong kong approach to cove at 19. on monday it's chief executive. kerry lam announced the cities border measures. some of the toughest in the world will finally be relaxed. a flight ban from 9 countries will be scrapped, including the united states, the united kingdom, india, and destroyer. i. you can see this is no longer necessary because the coping know the situation in this country is no worse than in hong kong. and many trouble is coming here. do not have seem to quarantine will also be 14 days to one week for
