rounding villages, so people like flew me in rows, no need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to return home hoping to morrow is a better day. ah . russian forces hate as shopping center and residential area in ukraine's capital killing at least 8 people. ah, you're, i'm fully back to bo, this is al jazeera live from doha. also ahead. ukrainian soldiers in the besieged southeast in city of merrier poll. defy a russian deadline to lay down their weapons. and having use a passenger plane carrying a 132 people as crashed in the mountains near was you in southern china. and the u

. s. declares violence committed against myanmar muslim ra hanger. amounts to genocide and crimes against humanity. i knew curfews being imposed in ukraine's capital from late monday to wednesday. or it follows another explosion of, of the site of a shopping center that was hit late on sunday, killing at least 8 people. rescue teens have been looking through the rubble to find survivors. the a tank on the shopping center happened a neat port, dusky districts just outside the city center. that's about half an hour's drive from the presidential palace in key event. parliament building iran con, has more from ukraine's capital. this is jack happened about 1030 last night. i'm gonna give you a closer look at where our, what is clearly some very heavy ordinance landed but 1030. but daylight revealed at

the full extent of the damage at you can see that the construction workers and people clearing the debris about an hour and a half ago, there was a controlled explosion here of what seems to be left over ordinance. we've also seen anti acro fire from close to head, go up into the sky, and throughout their morning we've been hearing bombardments going off whether it's incoming or outgoing. now, this is certainly one of the largest attacks i've seen in a central care. we're in the north of here, brother. ah, that's a shopping move. i shoved most, but 2 years old. this is a residential building. there's actually parts of it are still being built and i will residence. told us is when the sad attack happened. they felt that was that they thought the sky to quote, one of them was, sky was falling in on their heads. they thought they were about to die. we actually heard the attack from where we were about 8 kilometers away. now, a guesstimate was suggest that this is about half square kilometer of

a damage. several buildings now the that building next to us, the entire front of that building has been completely damaged. and what the local defence authorities is telling residences to actually sleep in their lobbies and not sleep anywhere near any glass. and that's certainly what a lot of the residents have been telling us. however, it is. oh, no military target around here. once again, this is a residential neighborhood and it's a residential neighborhood, a relatively new on we've seen attacks against a slightly older neighborhoods within the north of keep itself. i'm gonna show you can probably see in the background there some black smoke that's actually appeal. that's where the one of the front lines were russian forces are still trying to push their way along. what military analysts have suggested is that again, they can take over boucher and a pin that may well be a staging ground for a further offensive in to key. but it looks like it feels like that the offensive

into keep has actually slightly stall. now what military analysts is suggesting is that there may be 2 reasons for these attacks that are happening in keep itself or one of them. it may well be just to try and test heaves and the ukranian air defense systems. it's a, a big talking point for president vladimir lindsey. he's us international community for air defense systems and to close the skies. but the closest guys effectively anita fly zone is not something that nato want to do for fear of escalation. now russia has told the u. s. envoy to moscow that ties between the 2 countries are on the verge of being savage. it follows present jo biden's comments last week when he called russian president vladimir putin, a war criminal. let's bring in hash him i had barra in moscow for a, so a diplomatic tension on the rise. hush him tell us about what happened in moscow today with folly. as there is a, a series of reasons behind the strong wording of the statement by the minister of

foreign affairs, describing a warning that the relations are on the verge of her collapse. first of all, the states miss my president by the widely seen here as very critical of a rush and conduct during that mr. campaign in ukraine and targeting. also president vladimir putting number 2 of the rushes are saying that the americas are not to win the necessary to put more pressure or ukraine to come to terms with a comprehensive political agreement that will be conducive to us is fire and, and then to the military operation, number 3, they're saying that the americans allan, along with and they to have never been genuine about the near to address the concerns of russia, which has been seen for more than 2 decades. that the expansion of nato s. eastwards is a threat to russia's a national security, and this explains, for example, that sir gil, i've wrought the russian foreign minister 2 days ago,

said that it is absolutely no illusion among the russians that they can ever rely on the americans in the future. and that the russians will never tolerate a world order dominated by the us. because there say that if you look at what is happening in the region, the can connect the dots. they say that the i barrack is along with they to have been working for quite some time to undermine brushes, or regional and global war, or by moving forward with, or where with nato expansion. and this boy is boiling down now to, to this a rift that threatens to further undermine the relations between the 2 key global players. because ultimately in a deal about ukraine will have to have both key players, the rushes and the american. um and the americans on the same page. and one of the reasons why the bushes are frustrated is that because now this explains why, for example, criminal spokespersons, mystery pasco says that these no major breakthrough,

when it comes to the agreement with the ukraine, the rushes have been adamant from day one, which is the only crania sorta could nice crimea us auto rush out, we would like to have the ukrainians to recognize, look on scandinavia because independent states and they would like to see the ukrainians before when it comes to the neutral status of the country, which were, which is going to be a strong guarantee for the russians that ukraine will never be contemplating the idea of joining nato in the future. one of the reasons why them of the russia see no progress on this key issues. they believe their mark as a not doing what they should be doing to convince the ukrainians to move forward with it political solution. thank you. hashem for them. hash m, i had power in moscow less. now get the view from washington and check in with our white house correspondent, kimberly. how can kimberly any reaction from the white house to the summoning of the us ambassador in moscow? we are still awaiting a read out of the call. the u. s. president is having with his counterparts from

the united kingdom, italy as well as france and germany. this is not uncommon for the u. s. president to consult with partners and allies. it's something he's been doing since the russian invasion of ukraine. and so this would be one of many factors that he would be consulting with as part of the ongoing process of coordinating with allies, particularly since the ramifications go beyond just us russia relations, a is certainly strong rhetoric on the part of the united states. but russia alleges that there has been a kind of a tit for tat in that rhetoric. i also saying that on the part of the united states, when joe biden called vladimir putin, a war criminal at the initial reaction, was that if this was unacceptable unforgivable rhetoric on the part of a head of a state, bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world, so their argument is,

is that the united states really is in no position has no moral high ground. the united states, on the other hand, is accusing war crimes, given the fact that it alleges that it is civilians that are being targeted. so of course, this has legal implications and the u. s. is doubled down on this, this u. s. secretary of state entity blank and also citing examples of why they believe russia's committing war crimes. naming vladimir putin specifically. and the reason this could complicate matters is not only the negotiations that are ongoing with respect to this conflict between russia and ukraine. but also the united states has been working with russia in order to try and revive that 2015 agreement to limit ron's nuclear program. also known as the j c p, away. and so this is another reason why this has grave concern. the fact that the u . s. ambassador has been summoned in russia and the fact that ties are not only strained but have as the potential to be severed. completely good. put

a number of us policy objectives at risk. kimberly, thank you for that. kimberly, how can i live at the white house, or ukraine has rejected. russian demands that it's surrender, it's forces in need be, see shitty of marable. moscow said it would allow civilians to leave if the soldiers laid down their weapons. but keith says there's no question of any surrender saint miss robbie has more from livid in during the obstacles over war indignity and done this is life in mario opal mill. 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 with people in basement. so we bury them here . for some of 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 deal with this 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 or 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 rushing checkpoints. ukrainians say it's difficult to know which way is safe. and not everybody makes it not about not unique doors, 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 residents fled 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 anyone ever again. you fool you, the rule will. yeah. at the largest reception center in levine, volunteers prepare for an influx of evacuees from the war zone. 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. 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. no one ever had one checkpoint 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. 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, his love says he will go back to fight zane basra, the old 0, live a russian court, his van social media platforms, facebook and instagram after calling their parent company an extremist organisation . that's after meta, relax. it's roles on calls for violence against russian soldiers. the company says it made allowances for political expression in light of the war in ukraine. russian troops are fired warning shots and tear gas at protesters in care. so on at least one person was injured in the demonstration,

keshawn was the 1st major cities of come under russian control. they've been demonstrations in the southern city since the invasion began, and rushes armed forces say they've hit a military depot in western ukraine's rave ne region. the defense ministry says high precision miss os destroyed star, a storage facility for facilities rather for me. 5 and ammunition blocked america, the real good 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 roof, nor region more than 80 mercenaries and nationalists have been destroyed. now earlier we spoke to ukraine's former president petro pero shinkel. he says ukrainians have fought bravely to hold off the russian advance, but desperately need more help from the outside world. throughout the country, ukrainian demonstrate a medical stopping the 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. we 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 world for the resolution of the general assembly united nation when 141 countries vote for any nation in the. busy was one the small that be great, but we never give up and therefore the fees not can be delays. and with that situation, if now we allow you to grab your brain, we can do not stop who can go as far as the re the world to allow them to go. and that's why to help you to assist ukraine to come to play, not by the money or military to help us to save the world. we need

a pool embargo embargo and the trait. and this is the 5th package of function which is already on the table of the european union. and on the 24th of march, the president by there will have a g 7 meeting will be paid 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 butcher, and if they do not increase the pressure on poor gym to bring a piece at their board will never. and it, and the, please do not put all the pressure just on the ukraine. we are here paying this huge price with a thousands and thousands of ukraine and get ahead on our 0 plane with more than $100.00. 30 people on board crashes in china's waste their disaster over

a decade and not the means gary ross, kate calls for the release of prisoners being unfairly held in even ah, here's your weather in a minute. 15 for asia. nice to see. we've got energy moving away from the admin in nick, a bar islands into the bar. and that's also going to shut rain into thailand, $50.00 to $100.00 millimeters, to be expected here. taking a look at india, both in the northeast, we've got temperature is above average uncle kata and for the northwest in new delhi. so we go in for a closer look. here we're talking about $36.00 degrees at only for new delhi, but also i'm sorry, delhi should be about 30 for this time of the year. se asia looks like this. birth of rain still across java, over the past 24 hours. we've seen about 50 to 100 millimeters of rain and more of

that in store on tuesday. the rain is falling across the river valley toward the south in china, and at times it will be pretty intense stuff. we can see that darker the color, the more intense the rain is falling northerly flow here is wall is going to kick down the temperature in shanghai. so as we inch closer to april, you should be about 20 degrees. so that is while below average when this weather report in japan and we're going to get down with rain for southern sections here. this includes cargo shima and also what day in tokyo, just a high of 7 degrees, the cherry blossom season started early, but now cool air is dominating. and now you're in the sea soon. the gutter. one of the thought that growing nations in the i want a needed to oakland and develop it international shipping company to become a pain,

middle east, and po, trade and learning skillfully myself 3 key as of 2, both filling a prominence of connecting the world connected with the future while need cuts out . gatos gateway to whoa trade. lou. lou watching al jazeera live from doha reminder of the main developments in ukraine. at least 8 people have been killed in overnight shelling in the capital key. several homes and a shopping center were targeted. and new curfew will come into effect at 1800 hours g m t. russian troops have fired warning shots and t a gas at fo testers in care.

so at least one person was injured in the demonstration. keshawn was a 1st major city to come under russian control, and a russian court has bad social media platforms, facebook and instagram after calling their parent company an extremist organisation . as often meta, relax its rules on cost or violence against russian soldiers has turned to other world news now and china's president, she ging paying has ordered an investigation into the crash on the passenger plane in southern gone. she province 152 people on board. the boeing 737800. they've been no reports of survivors. katrina, you has more from beijing. and i'm gonna tell you the correct footage. verified by chinese state media shows the aircraft, nose diving to the ground in the remote southern province of gong sheet. the passenger plane operated by china eastern airlines departed from the city of could me just after 1 pm local time. it was headed to the city of guam, jo,

a route which should have taken less than 2 hours when it suddenly lost altitude dropping more than 6000 meters in just 2 minutes videos circulating on social media show. a wildfire reportedly sparked by the crash. the 132 people on board, including 123 passengers and 9 crew members are feared dead. hundreds of emergency workers have been dispatched to the site. president sheet in ping has called for an immediate investigation. analysts say the bullying model, 737800 aircraft has a good safety record. the 737800 has been work course. and i believe that to china eastern have the over $600.00 jet aircraft, and i think they've got turn somewhere along the lines of a $13737.00. so it's a very reliable aircraft. and it, sir,

it's quite a amazing story that of an aircraft and crash on a new our plan. the boeing 737800 is a predecessor of the 737, max and model that has been banned from commercial use in china after 2 crashes within months that killed 346 people in indonesia and ethiopia. the crash is china's worst aviation disaster in years. it safety record has been among the best in the world for a decade. though experts have questioned the reporting of safety lapses. china, eastern airlines says it's mourning the loss of flores on board and has grounded all of its boeing $737800.00 aircraft until further notice. katrina, you are the 0 dating. the u. s. has determined the violence committed against me on mars. muslim ro hanger amounts to genocide and crimes against humanity. more than 730000 or hang afraid the western were kind stayed in 2017 when the military staged

a brutal crime found why scopes have documented the burning of villages and killing of civilians. man mars already facing charges of genocide at the international court of justice. the target surrender was widespread and systematic, which is crucial for reaching a determination of crimes against humanity. the evidence also points to a clear incent behind these mass atrocity. the intent to destroy will hinder in whole or in part that in turn has been corroborated by the house of soldiers who to importantly operation and later defected, such as one who said he was told by his commanding officer to and i quote, shoot at every sight of a person and will burn realty rate and kill women. warders that he and his unit carried out. article haine has more from washington. not quite clear what labeling this genocide is going to do. it's been almost 5

years if we believe that the state department had collected all the evidence under the trump administration, but then decided not to go ahead and label that genocide. so what happens now once the secretary has made this designation? well, it's clear that more sanctions will likely be implied. the other effect is likely to really put pressure on other western companies to stop doing business in me and mar. we know that natural gas and oil companies are still giving a great bit of the revenue that the june to rely on. so this will put additional pressure on them to in fact leave. it also has the potential to have trials as the international criminal court. but it's, i think, more than just about me in march as he made it clear he's sending the message to people in russia. and then he mentioned china as well. but given the ongoing conflict and he's crane, suddenly tried to send the message to not just bladder prudent. but the generals,

the generals who are ordering these strikes out of schools and hospitals that they could down the line if they find themselves out of russia, find themselves before the international criminal court. so, sending the message tried to send the message that this is continuing thing for the united states, that they will continue to evaluate, try to find the legal basis and then potentially pursue cases. not just in me and me are, but in russia and possibly china as well as i mean for gary radcliffe has called for the release of prisoners. she says are being held unjustly in iran. the british, iranian national, was retained alongside the notion. i knew she assured me for nearly 60 years in yvonne and they were accused of plotting to overthrow the government speaking for the 1st time since her release 6 days ago. she said they would never be freedom in yvonne until all those spring houses are released. the other jewel nationals,

members of a religious groups or prisoners of conscience who are, i mean we do realize that if i have been in prison for 6 years, there are so many other people. we don't know their names who have been, you know, suffering in prison in iran. so i, i think the justice in iran does not have any meaning because in worst case scenario, you will be given the younger trial. if you're lucky, then you'll be picked up by what kind of thing you fed judge, but in most cases, you're looking like this. confirmation hearings for the 1st black woman to be nominated to the u. s. supreme court are underway. judge catan g brown, jackson was announced as present joe biden speak last month. she said to replace judge stephen briar who will retire in june. now millions of people around the world are marking now rules the spring festival and persian new year for more than 3000 years. communities in the middle east and central asia have mocked in our

rules with special rituals. my mood, abdullah had reports from i cry in northern iraq. the mountains of our cra in northern iraq have been decorated. the city is a destination for goods from over the region to mark no rose ah, the spring festival, they celebrate the rebirth of nature. no rose means a new day in the persian language. it's a family gathering occasion. hannah came with her relatives from cooper city. for them no ruse presents resurrection and fertility departments. their man. yep. it was gonna cut off. we used to celebrate. now rose every year. now i'm central to this year. we've come here, it's our cra because it's the capital city of no ros. we remain here until tomorrow

and we'll do the rest of the rituals. the event marks the 1st day of the spring. it starts on the eve of march 21st. every year. it is celebrated in several regions with colorful traditional outfits participants light flares. no rose has been added to the list of unis cuz intangible cultural heritage of humanity. these lay of symbolized victory of life. over darkness and liberation over oppression, the un has raised no rose for promoting peace until the dorothy between generations. this year's facilities are significant because hostility and destruction are on the rise around this region. in the morning, families re unite with nature by hitting to the nearby fields.

that's part of the rituals to will come to the arrival of a spring. they sit around with traditional meals, but the food varies from one country to another. people from other nations have come here to shave the event even trying on local, traditional outfit. well, i hope well that this curtis, sure new year, will bring more, are better times for people. because people alpha and here have suffered a lot on their arm in the yard, the problems with ices and other political problems. and the people they want to live freely for the people in iraq's kurdish region. no ruse also refers to rising up against tyranny. heard about criminal missouri, her, it's a festival for all arion people and each nation marks it according to their heritage and traditions. for us, it's very special because it's the top national holiday. she was there. it's been

a difficult year for many here. last winter. devastating floods caused substantial damage and some young curds whose so to bitter to life abroad, died of the cold weather on the bill a russian polish border. now the burdens of the cold season are being replaced by spring freshness. union between nature and culture is a message conveyed by these ancient rituals. ma'am, without the wide al jazeera in our cry, city noted there in iraq. ah ha, again, i'm fully battle with the headlines on algae.
