the check posts. they say it was like living in a cage like dealing with me at last question. if we won the world to hear us does a free country. no one was heard here before. for me personally, i lived with a man. he is a kristin and i'm a muslim. and we live happily. ever thing was great and in one moment it ended. please stop the war with easy way to savannah. far from the fighting, but not far enough yet. one person on the platform told us there's an easy way to tell where the train is going. if it's full of men, that's a domestic journey. if it's full of women and children, those are the only ones that are allowed to leave the country trains leaving the

station are pulling families apart. upgrade them just closed the skies. she says that is all some stop and levine before continuing on a chance to rest, to recharge a brief moment of calm before the chaos of getting to the border. and getting out of you, chris and zane joins us now live from the western ukrainian city of live zane, a very powerful report that give us an update 1st on the humanitarian, coy doors. mary, upon the besieged city, which is the worse affected still not on the list of humanitarian called us. that's exactly right. when the humanitarian corridors work,

they are very good. thousands of people have been able to get to safer areas of ukraine using those corridors that have been negotiated between russia and ukraine, which is a very good thing. but crucially, in the last few days, we've been expecting mario pull to be on the list of places that are being evacuated is the worst affected city by this conflict. and for 2 days in a row that has not happened once again, mario pole is not on the list. what we've been hearing is from president zelinski who gives a national address regularly in one of his latest ones. he said the, what's happening in that city is a total blockade of that city in human conditions, ongoing in a situation where there is constant bombardment, there is no access to water, food, and medicine for many people. and he says that russians are blocking any aid trying to get in. in fact, he also commented on 15 aid workers, bus drivers who were seized when they tried to date it take aid into that sydney. so this situation where continues to be very difficult authorities in mario pl merkel, city officials are still trying to communicate to their residents

a 100000 that are trying to get out. and they have said that if people can get to brilliance, then from there, there are buses headed from parisha to birdie asked to pick people up. so that might be a lifeline for those who can make it. and what's the latest zane on talks between and the 2 sides a few days ago, there were some hope at some progress had been made. but we still haven't heard much in the last few hours about that. the progress of talks really the talks truth be told are stalled. they are difficult. what we've heard them described as, as confrontational, ukraine is described. russia's position is maximus demanding continued compromises capitulation that ukraine is simply not ready to make. russia for its part is accused praying of delaying the talks and not taking part in anything substantive and constantly demanding a face to face meeting between the leaders of the 2 countries which rush, i said won't happen until there is some sort of tangible,

tangible agreement to sign on to so the talk simply aren't really moving as difficult as fast as people would like. and it's hard to see how they can with the continued mentality that is happening here. but i suppose one thing that is, is a good thing is that, that talks are simply still happening. as long as that is the case, there is hope that something can get better. then thank you very much for that zane miss riley live in live and a mayor of key says a ukrainian counter offensive is under way north west of the capitol vitale. cash flow says ukrainian forces have managed to retake microwave and her pain, but also gave an update on casualties in the city. russian skilled, 264 videos willis and bombing attack right now is, can be more from 264 civilians. was 4 children right now all over 300

people in hospitals. they is injured. and 16 children also injured right now in the hospitals. now the russians have for the past 10 days, been bombarding several areas surrounding cave, including areas to the northwest of a capital city. those are a pin which is only about 25 kilometers away from the city center of keys. right next to it is the city of boucher and hoster. now slightly further north has also been under attack. ukraine says it's been fighting off russian forces on the ground and is still in control of all 3 cities. let's bring in iran con, now, who is in the capital key for is iran the curfew in keith has been lifted for some are few hours now. bring us up to speed with the situation there. well a 30 this morning. there was yet another alteri shelling against

a residential building in the north of kiva. about 6 was m kilometers away from our pain and boucher are those front lines that you were just talking about. i can building the complete front of that facade of that building was completely blown away. there are full casualties as are full people injured, but no casualties in that particular attack. and once again, it's just another example of what the russians are trying to do. but to bring you up to date with what's happening, mike heave and a pin are said to have been re taken by ukrainian forces. that's a very big deal because at a pin in particular, if that had fallen to russian forces, it would have given them a staging ground for an invasion into cave itself. boucher and austin all the other 2 areas that we've just mentioned before. those areas are now completely surrounded by ukrainian forces and the russians trapped inside. now,

according to intelligence assessments, we've been reading that publicly available ah, globally, the attack or the russian advance has actually been stalled. so the russians are now changing tactics. they know that they can't move in to keep itself not without a massive amounts of soldiers. and we've seen the, the way armies operate when they to retake areas. you need thousands of troops to be able to take a square kilometer block of a city. and then is a very slow advance and they don't have those numbers of troops. so what they're doing now is using the air strikes and now becoming much more common in the last few days, we've seen cruise missiles being shut down by ukrainian air defense systems. we've seen rockets or missiles be intercepted. we've seen those missiles, russian missiles land as well in residential areas in shopping malls, the russian se, actually that shopping mall that was out there was bombed yesterday. was actually a armster po, a, a dump for rockets or the ukrainians have denied that russians are insisting that

that's the kind of warfare that we're seeing now. we're seeing it come from the air more air raid sirens throughout the day in just now. before we came on it, there was the dull flood of artillery shells going off in the background were only about 15 kilometers away from where those front lines are. now. if the russians are completely encircled, that means that the russian air force the russian, russian air strikes or whether that's from land or by the air itself, or now the fight. and let's see if that develops over next couple of days. all likelihood suggests that it will thank you for that iran can live for i seen cage. the port city of odessa has largely been spared from fighting, but it's on high alert for a russian attack. stephanie dec every fortune there life here now is all about preparing the city for a potential russian attack every day. a destiny come here,

come together to fill up sandbags on the beaches and then phillip trucks to $4.00 to $5.00 areas of the city while we've been here. there's been shutting. we've seen aries across the waters on fire. there is smoke. we're not exactly sure what exactly is going on there. we're not allowed to fill in anything super sensitive here when it comes to the military operations and installations, but certainly on tuesday, for the 1st time residential areas inside a desa. we're hit. people here are telling us that they are feeling what they say is the heat rising that potentially a russian attack could be sued. which is why people here believe that there cannot be enough sand bags filled to fortify. this city. you have men, you have women all coming together here, day off today, and this is what you see. this production line sandbags being filmed, being put in trucks and then being carried around to other parts of the city. odessa is a key port. it is ukraine's biggest c port. it is seen to be one of russia's main targets or everyone here are saying they do believe something will happen. we've

seen, as i said earlier in increase already in shelling in the area in the last couple of days. but certainly resolve here remain strong. everyone we've spoken to to will tell you that russia will not take a deaf. so let's take a look at the situation on the ground in ukraine on day $28.00 of the war areas in rage are held by russian forces and their separatist allies, ukrainian forces in besieged. mary paul is still holding out if been further civilian evacuations from neighboring towns and ukraine says it's successfully push bank russian advances with counter offensive to near keith and mc alive. ukrainian forces are also fending off a task by russian troops in the 2nd largest city car keith. most people have fled after residential areas where shout, i st. beg is in khaki. with more silence. there was once a community here, but just us everything. silence is broken by the sound of artillery.

this house was just, it was so just want to regular. those who remain have become accustomed to it. this is milda, deborah, bob wallace. 10 minutes ago there were fire in like crazy thought they were really pounding the area up the road. oh, this is a residential area. well you're, it happens a lot while we are every half hour the reload was almost serious received when they britain and across the street. we meet 69 year old lead of or been a cover, but don't room in the courtroom. yoga dorothy, she said she doesn't want to leave a house because a husband can't walk and they don't want to be a burden on others. a neighbourhood is under constant attack or change though long had yet another. it's scary, they had here and there half the street is destroyed. ukraine save us where we're here. we're told it's unsafe. we must leave the area because of the ongoing artillery. jill can hear that going from the incoming and can also hidden landing

in the distance and cassie smoke on the horizon does not hardly anybody left her because her foot in the shadow of wool, it seems only the elderly, the left here. this school providing a vital to monitoring lifeline. well, as the seller, i will glue you those as been, our house is safe, but a 100 meters away from us. people got killed. their bodies were in pieces. they were people i knew was no nation. not far from here, an apartment block was hit holocaust survivor fourish roman jenko lived here. now the taking away what's left of his body after shelling hit is flat. was stephanie called. there was a terrible shilling. it was not a bam. more of a whistle. 3 terrible whistles you think your brain is in romance. jenko survived 3

nazi concentration camps in world war 2. vladimir putin says he is fighting nazis, but it's not north is that killed roman jenko? it was russian artillery. i said big al jazeera, her give rush as president van may, i put in says, despite western sanctions, he'll keep up shipments of natural gas, but warranties make hostile countries pay for it in russian currency. that was the useful, if you did good, was ne, 3 of them. in the last few weeks, there were unlawful measures taken against russia by a number of western countries. was going to freeze russian assets by doing this, the collective with as undermine the reliability of the currency. i made a decision to take actions to switch payments for natural gas sol to so called i'm friendly countries into the russian rouble in the shortest time possible. but it'll ukrainian president vladimir to lensky has praised japan for becoming the 1st asian country to sanction russia. but in an address to the japanese parliament, he asked tokyo to go further. russia this week?

announce it will discontinue p 3. he talked with japan in retaliation for the sanctions. the number we can go ahead go no the world has been d stabilized and is facing a crisis. are powerful countries hate to unite to defend please me. a call on you to continue to support sanctions and unite all partners in your region. in order to start with the russian invasion, we need embargoes on trade and we need foreign countries to leave the russian market. we need to think about supporting ukraine's military, but also rebuilding our territory. people have to be able to come back to their land in their homes where they were born, where they grew up young. and in the past hour present, zalinski has addressed a french parliament to where he's called on french companies, including comic a renaud to leave russia. now since the start of the war, a brody may zalinski has been using social media every day to push out his message to the world. he's been shooting selfie style videos on his phone while often dressed in green army t shirts. and that's held to bruce. his popularity among ukrainians to nearly 90

percent the landscape embrace the power of media to rally nations with live in direct appeals to world leaders. ukraine's official social media channels have experienced a surge in followers since the start of the invasion landscape, instagram account alone has gained more than 6 point. $5000000.00 fall is in the last month one. let me speak to william courtney about this. his adjunct to senior fellow with the rand corporation and a former us ambassador to cause extent and georgia and is joining us from washington d. c. thank you so much for being with us, mr. courtney. so whether it's on twitter, instagram, speaking from a bunker, addressing world parliament present, the lensky has no doubt captured the world's attention delivering some very powerful messages. what do you make of his communication strategy? is it effective? is communication strategy as part of a factor? it's really oriented toward your premiums to inspire ukrainians to resist russian

aggression, to inspire ukrainians, to take care of themselves, find ways to oppose the rush and aggression through their own liens. but the messaging that he has provided is also enhancing his stature international. and you've seen as a good leader, i'm some people are the last, are making comparisons with, with the church. and what were to ronald reagan was also a good communicator. soleski has used his skills to great advantage at this crucial moment in their credit history. we've seen him speaking to lawmakers in france to the us congress, to canada, to lawmakers in israel as well. does the messaging change depending on who is speaking to and has it been effective? these addresses to, to these various parliaments. the one concert, same has been to thank western country is for their support and to encourage them

or even shame them to do even more. so the messages to parliament, including the us congress, those have not just been sweetness and alike. they have really called on those parliament to approve more money for military and humanitarian aid for their credit . but he is called for a no fly zone to these various parliaments. still haven't been heated that that's correct. in the west, people believed that the no fly zone has not the most militarily effective solution . and it could increase the risk of nato shooting down russian combat fighters. instead of adding ground launched anti air missile systems is seen as a way really to accomplish the same purpose. right. what, what can russia do against this powerful piano machine that the ukrainian leader has put out there? i mean, has put in lost control of the narrative if he has lost control of the narrative.

the 1st western audiences are concerned and, and probably many other international audiences he has seemed in his messages to be resentful to be dismissive, to be isolated. you know, he, instead of surrounding himself with colleagues, coastline, he's been sitting at long distance from them. at tables has been in his messaging, are using stream of cautious of speaking, not, not carefully structured speaking, suggesting that his messages not very clear. but do you think, are you say his last sent the messaging when it comes to international audience is but within russia? has it changed anything with enroll she? with so many reports of the people who have access to the internet opposing the war . but older people who watch my lou television, which is all officially controlled or be more supportive of the world so cruel,

is having some of her to inferred russia because we're media vacuum. thank you so much for talking to us william courtney from the rand corporation and former us ambassador to catholic fan and georgia. we appreciate your insight. thank you very much. you're welcome. ah, let's turn our attention to other worlds. news now and 6 people are day after gunman stormed a military base in somalia, capital mogadishu, the camp is inside, the highly fortified international airport security forces said they killed 3 gun men trying to get inside the armed globe. al bob has claimed responsibility live to malcolm web in mogadishu. for is malcolm tell us more about what happened in this incident. this happened in an area that's highly fortified.

the gun men attack holiday come, which is a green zone here in mogadishu to build around the air for it's not far from where we are now just along the indian ocean coastline. and inside, heavily for divide area is the united nations, the african union peacekeepers. the soldiers in the african union force, all of the embassies of the western countries that support this government and the african union peacekeepers. private military companies, as well as heavily fortified, surrounded by 6 walls of concrete, designed to stop attack as an explosions. now we understand that the 2 will, 3 gunmen got in and engaged in a fire fight. with somali police officers went on for about 2 hours before the attackers were killed in the fighting stop said the andre pasha. bob, same responsibility as you said, it will say, said he had 5 mortars somewhere from somewhere within the city eye witnesses

corroborated this from somewhere within that issue into that fortified area are about 6 mortars landed there at around the same time. now the police spokesperson said that 6 people being killed, 5 of them were foreigners. one of them was somali, and one of those foreigners was a soldier from the african union force. now the african union force has been here for 15 years with mixed success. they control that green zone. they control many of the key towns and cities, but the arm grew, bosher. bob still dominates in sways to the country side and frequently makes incursions into the towns and cities. but this only the 2nd time that i'll show bob's attack and have actually managed to get into hallowani camp the green zone. but next week, the 15 year presence of the african union peacekeepers is meant to end their mandates is meant to end. and it's meant to move on to a new he's keeping for the african union,

transitional mission in somalia. ostensibly this is meant to hand over more control to the somali forces. somali forces were being trained in the very area that was attacked earlier today. so these transitions meant to happen in just a week from now, but she about certainly seems like their intention was to try to make the somali forces who they were attacking look weak. thank you for that malcolm way. black for us in somalia, capital mogadishu girls expecting to return to school in afghanistan on wednesday, have been left disappointed. many showed up for school for the 1st time in 7 months, only to be told to go home. the ministry of education says more secondary schools will, girls will stay closed until further notice interrogate and be has a detail. oh, the day started so well for these girls in cobble as they returned to school for the 1st time in 7 months. i shook, i'll humbler. thank god. the taliban are also like the previous government. now i

don't have any concern about what i have to wear or whether to go to school or not . my family has allowed me and thank god. now the taliban has also given us permission to go to school. we are very happy. oh, but a few hours later that sense of optimism had completely disappeared. the taliban la government suddenly ordered most secondary schools for girls to close. students packed up their bags and headed home. it was all with the man who i was happy and excited when i found out i was going to school i. but we are hardly there for 30 minutes when they kicked us out and shut the door and left us hopeless. after that, then they got by the federal government. it isn't fair that boys are allowed to go to schools and girls, aunt, what have girls done wrong? we want our schools to reopen, like before. girls in afghanistan have been waiting for months to attend school. the taliban pledge to provide them with access to an education after it's takeover in august. but since then most girls have been banned from going to school after

the 6th grade. taliban officials now say they need even more time to create gender segregated facilities on or advert yesterday evening grew received the decision from the leadership of the slumped america to postpone the opening of girls schools after a great 6 until it develops a plan that is in accordance with sharia and traditions, we are committed to opening girls schools. the taliban has been widely condemned for depriving women and girls of an education. i think it's very sad to see after all those months, which is the girls in afghanistan were being waiting for dead date at da schools where we reopen. and unfortunately today was a very disappointment that they turned back their home without any results. it shows that don, among are not reliable, they could not fulfill their promises. the international community says the right to an education must be upheld if the taliban like government wants to receive much needed aid, victoria gay to be al jazeera. still ahead on the news,

our scenes of protesting china as the country struggles to keep pace with the speed of a new colon virus outbreak. yeah, sure, lankin fake to the 3 shows they struggle with runaway prices for food and fuel and in sport will have the native from manchester, united, spiritual, permanent manager with this dutch coach in the frame. ah, there is some early season here for the middle east. hello, everyone. here is a wide view of the region right now, re at 35 degrees on thursday. let's go in for a closer look around the golf. i'll show you exactly what's going on. got a southerly flow here that's going to pop up the temperature. 37 in doha, on thursday. minima. 35 degrees. but watch what happens on friday. those wind shift

out of the north monopoly goes from $35.00 down to $27.00 and died at 30. that's going to spin around the sand and does so in dough we've got the cats are masters going on, so could have some impacts there. and if we looked toward the pockets down, we've got temperatures in the forty's looking good there at some warmth for southern brown. sure, as at 27 degrees, but showers for tad wrong with a high of 21. finally, an improvement in the conditions for its stumble. the sun's out 11 degrees. we've got some snow for tbilisi and euro van temperatures. they're well below average. what wendy and chile for the vance ramallah just 7 degrees on your thursday. central africa, we can trace out storms from a d saba rate through to lagos in niger area, some showers and storms to be expected. they're also driving rain. i wanted to put this on your radar as we look towards southern and gola northern parts of namibia. then took as high as 24 on thursday later. the

ah, water scarcity 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 because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy told me it's water. al jazeera examines the social, financial, and environmental impact of water privatization notes of water on al jazeera. across europe. immigration is high on the agenda and in hungary it's presented as a pressing issue. we didn't have immigrants at all, 0 immigration, but this is the one political topic. anybody and everybody is discussing. the far right is preparing for battle. and their opponents are anyone who is different

prejudice and fried in hungry on al jazeera lou. ah, ah, ah, they're watching the news are on al jazeera, a reminder of the main development scene that ukraine new efforts are underway to evacuate. people from high ukrainian sees being bombed by russia, ukraine, 70 prime minister says 9 humanitarian called or have been opened. but there's no safe passage for more than a 100000 people trapped in maryville present voting. east lensky says there's nothing left of the fort city. after a month of shelley and ukraine, 2nd largest city concave is under constant bombardment by the russian military. most people have fled. the mayor has wanted no where is safe and people should go

underground. now, meanwhile, at the united nations, the general assemblies resuming an emergency special session on the war, ukraine's ambassador is urging countries to vote for a humanitarian draft resolution that holds russia responsible for the conflicts people are being killed in there at them, to flee from conflict affected areas, cities are raised to the ground by selling and as strikes. neighboring countries are stretched to their limits of accommodating millions of ukrainian refugees. we ask all those who stand against the wall to wall with us today for the draft entitled humanitarian consequences of the aggression against ukraine. lived to kristen salumi at the united nations for is kristin. it's 3 separate resolutions on ukraine being discussed at the un today. how are they different

yeah, it's incredible. 3 separate resolutions. i have them right here to in the general assembly one in the security council. all of them having to do with humanitarian relief in the, in, in ukraine, calling for humanitarian access protection of civilians, protection of aid workers, and so on. all of that they have in common. the differences, however, are crucial, and the ukrainians are on board. with the resolution that was drafted by france and mexico and has the support of nato align countries that not only cause for humanitarian access, but clearly points a finger at russia as the source of the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. russia says that this is politically motivated, it's a disingenuous attempt at a humanitarian resolution. and so they've submitted their own resolution in the security council to counter that. doesn't blame them,

but does call for humanitarian access. and then there's a 3rd attempt at a resolution put forward by south africa in the general assembly. they say they're trying to walk in between these super powers that are on either side of this conflict and find some common ground with their resolution. they haven't presented it formally in the general assembly so far this morning, but it has been submitted and were told that they continue to negotiate behind the scenes again with the drafters of that western backed resolution and the goal to find as much common ground as possible with resolutions, but at this stage we don't know if the south african draft will also be put to a vote as well. and kristen, what can we expect from the, the city council session mason? so russia is calling for a vote on their draft resolution in the security council at in

a few hours time. that's likely to happen before the general assembly votes on its resolutions because some 60 speakers have signed up to talk there. so it's going to take a while to get through them into finally get to a vote that could happen late on wednesday or early thursday. meantime, the security council vote will happen soon, but we don't expect that one to pass. certainly, the united states, the united kingdom, who hold veto power in the security council have said they can't support anything that doesn't directly acknowledge russia as the source of the problem. so the question then becomes, is what happens in the general assembly and how unified will the world community be the $141.00 countries voted and support on march, 2nd of a resolution that did call for an end to the violence and point a finger at russia will they get the same or more votes this time around is what will be interesting to watch,

will keep an eye on everything that's happening at the united nations with you. of course, chris in salome life or a say in new york. meanwhile, a nato secretary general yen stoughton burgess, calling on lead us to give ukraine additional support against chemical weapons and out of threats of launch scale disc destruction. james space is on diplomatic editor, his in brussels, james that call from the nato secretary general coming ahead of high stakes meeting tomorrow in brussels on ukraine. you have more than one meeting actually in brussels. here we're going to have a nato summit then in a room here at nato. they'll be a g 7 summit. the japanese prime minister will be coming in for that. and then elsewhere in brussels is going to be an e u. some. it's 3 different. some, it's all to show, i think, unity against what's going on in ukraine, the nato secretary general saying that this is an extraordinary summit for extraordinary times. the reality is, i don't think you're going to see a lot. that's new and concrete. coming out to the summit, they will be ratifying,

some of the things that have already been decided for new battle groups for nato in eastern europe. and they're also going to be talking about weapons of mass destruction with russia, saying that it has the possibility that it might use nuclear weapons of it faces an existential threat. and the possibility that nato feels is a threat that russia could use chemical or biological weapons to morrow. i expect allies will agree to provide additional support including cybersecurity assistance, as well as equipment to help ukraine protect against chemical biological on radio, logical, and new sets. while i pressed the settlers general in that news conference, what does yet she mean by that?

what sort of equipments going to be supplied? and he said that would be dangerous to give the details or to let the russians know the details of exactly what they're going to do with regard to that. but it's certainly quite high on the agenda for the nato allies when they meet here. i don't think they're going to come up though with the key things that president lancey has asked for and will be asking, i'm sure again or for here, he would like to see a no fly zone. that is something no way any of the nato allies will support at this time. he'd also like to see much tougher sanctions, particularly on the energy sector. and that's where nato, and particularly the e. you have a split with some countries in europe. notably, germany, very, very concerned about that. in fact, the german chancellor earlier on said that, yes, you could do that one day, but you can't do it in one day because otherwise, germany and other countries in europe would face a recession. and you can't have
