saw coverage from louise in western ukraine. this was the moment the war came to a shopping center in a cave suburb and turned it into a smouldering ruin. instantly, with a multiplex theater, fitness club stores and fast food restaurants, it was a big draw for surrounding apartment blocks. also damaged by the late night, myself, striking people in those blocks, left traumatized and wondering how their local mouth could in any way the military target to someone help us out. i saw huge blast ain't lit up my room. i live just here in front of it. the blast threw me of the bed. some were too close to the blast. an explosion which sent deb re raining down for several 100 meters all around. for many, there's disbelief, but how a neighbor with such close, cultural and religious links, could act like this, remains legible. when of it,

the russians have exhausted my limits for love. we call as king david, for righteous punishment from ukraine's president. another appealed for the world to come to his country's aid with economic retaliation against russia. would laska, the school will not soon, please don't sponsor a weapons of war for the country of russia. no euros for the occupies close all your ports to them. don't send them your good with much of russia's invading army being held on different fronts after a parent set backs, it seems to be relying more on rocket and miss ayla attacks. able to reach all parts of ukraine, where you and i percent missile are super precise, very precise, and we destroyed underground ammunition socks when you hyper sonic missiles were fired from 1000 kilometers and only took 10 minutes. a russian deadline for

ukrainian forces in the besieged ruins of mary you. paul, to surrender was ignored. there have been continued problems for some of the thousands of people still inside the city to get out. but humanity marion corridor was agreed between the 2 sides. have been operating elsewhere in ukraine. still in the south, nikolai of remains a hotly contested frontline and a link to the far more strategically important city of a desa house that destroyed by shell fire. with more shells falling in the seas off a shore line that could become the next battle ground. in this seemingly relentless conflict, rob mcbride, al jazeera livia no russian troops or find warning shots until garza protest as a discussion at least one person was injured in the demonstration. the child was the 1st major city to cover the russian control over demonstrations

of the southern falsity of a sense. but it's impossible to enter her shown her or to report all the situation there. but al jazeera has commissioned footage from there for this report from stephanie decker. her son is ukraine, they chant at the russian soldiers, the southern city is the only one. russia has managed to fully occupy 4 weeks into this war. we came here to demonstrate the curse on his ukraine. we will never give allan to some occupiers. now our problem is the russians. we will be here regardless of the weather, rain, or snow. we will stay here to demonstrate the way here we are fighting. we will never give them our lands or protest against the russian present here are taking place on a daily basis. on monday, for the 1st time, russian soldiers use tear gas and fired into the air. we spoke to one activist who

was closely monitoring the situation in her son and from what she pushes to know a little dinner, isn't there? his name formation. there were shooting at people, but there was shooting in the air. one of the stung grenades exploded next to one person. i'm not in that person lost a lot of blood problems. there is information that some of the protesters with attain and taken away in the mcdonough. oh ha! russia took the city earlier this month. it has been spare destruction and there is no fighting here, but the people refused to accept this new reality. footage, normally the soldier tried to show outwardly that they accomplished for their nervous and they're trying to find some support young's. but no one has welcomed them, only no one is collaborating with them. the population is treating them as if they are alien. one include, ah, his son is of the major strategic importance to russia. it controls the water supply to crimea, and also crucial for crossing one of the main rivers, giving potential access to the south western and northern france. it may be

russia's 1st ukrainian city to occupy, but finding support among the population is proving a difficult task. i came here to freedom square to express my concern because the occupiers are shelling our cities, killing our people. this is the 21st century. we are coming together to defend our city. right. heroes do not die, this man, yells, enemies die. the truth is with us, the people are with us, they taunt and in amplified message. her son is ukraine. ah, the national anthem is sung again. and again, a message to the russian soldiers that they are an occupying force. and even if they do manage to take control and hold more land, it looks like it will be nearly impossible to control the people. stephanie decker,

al jazeera in western ukraine. alex tito is electra bought european history at queen's university in belfast. now, he doesn't think the russian assault will and any time soon, i'm afraid they have dug in them so deeply into this universe, your whole, your grain, that is very hard for them to retreat. now that the, the sanction being imposed their lives being lost, the invasion happens. i think the will have to kind of persevere with, with a strategy and it's will, will stick to, particularly when the. busy eastern don't boss in ukraine, around dom bus. i think that's they. prior to now by the look. so it. so i don't think there will be any letting up or fighting until they have actually full control of those original territories which were disputed in 6014. i think the original plan was to have

a lightning strike against key city is key of heart of solomon, but also there was an and feebleness lending that which was cancelled. but key will always been about on don't boss because that's. busy the original fighting started 2014 and never really were completely extinguished. so and the sensible reason to go into your grade is to protect those eastern areas in don't boss. so i think that will never stop until the have at least there's a sensible reason, but i think the why the longer it goes on the heart of the course for rush, i think that will want to be much more than just those system territories. i'm afraid so. so the calculus is changing all the time. the youth foreign policy chief says rushes indiscriminate bombing good. maria pol amounts to a war crime chase a barrel at that. the added that the block is ready to take more restrictive measures against to moscow. a want to insist on the absolute need of a stop. these will all the war reaches an end and they reach an

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. now the us president is warning of a possible cyber attack from russia show by dessert american businesses to boost

their defenses. the magnitude of russia cyber capacity is fairly consequential and it's coming. a federal government is doing this part to get ready. and, but under u. s. law, as you all remember, the private sector, all of you largely decides the protections that is where you will or will not take in order to protect your sources. but let me be absolutely clear about something. it's not just and you're interested or at stake with her potential use of cybersecurity. it is the national interest to stick. well, still had all now does the di awarding about the dangers, facing millions of children trapped in ukraine and finally freed from the radio jail after 6 years. why not need the gallery? ratcliffe says she's angry with the british government stories after the break. ah,

from the ministry of education, that's over 440 schools have been attack, and indeed, at least 70 have been completely destroyed. you know, a school should not be a place of fear of injury and death should be a haven to children where they can learn. we've also heard very recently, and w jo that at least at least 52 attacks of occurred again and health facilities which right now or absolutely needed to provide life saving care for children of families. a russian court has been social media platforms, facebook and instagram, after calling their parent company an extremist organization. after matter, relaxed its rules on coals of violence against russian soldiers, the company sense it made allowances for political expression in the light of the ukraine war. as for use of the days, other news now the ceo of bearing is offered full technical support to china

temperatures, with scientists, calling it historic and unprecedented temperatures in antarctica with 40 degrees higher than normal in some places over the weekend. at the time when the continent is actually meant to be cooling temperatures in the arctic were 30 degrees above normal, the region is any meant to be slowly emerging from it's winter. now thought jonathan wiley as a post doctoral research throughout the university of grenoble out said from studying polar meteorology. he says it's too early to say these extreme events are a sign of things to come. the extreme temperature ers and the arsic and the answer arctic. they both can be sort of attributed to what we call a mr river. that is a court or the air is very warm and was transported from the law allowed us for we live city and highlighted today and the case of the antarctic. the events was much more intense than what was observed in the arctic. the events occurred on

the march 50 for the scriver may landfall in the stance arctica. from there, the moisture was transported on further into the continent, and that's when we start observing that freakishly larger, 40 degree temperature anomaly. and these events do fit into a broader pattern, extreme events that we didn't think were possible. and so they, well just happens, especially in the case of the antarctic. this was something that kind of changes the way we think of the sort of climate now of our human history of observing whether an article is limited. so it's difficult to say whether this is a sign of things to come, or just a rather freakish events that just will be very interesting for a sciences to study. going into the future. mexico has it'll get rated it's new port to serve the capital city. but the project has been hit with controversy from
