their country. based on the information from ukrainian officials and open source data, nato estimates between 7 to 15000 russian soldiers have been killed since the war began. now to put that into perspective, the soviet union lost about 15000 soldiers in afghanistan over the course of 10 years. meanwhile, ukraine's president says his people are unable to bury their dad. in an address to the japanese parliament, leukemia zalinski said more than a 120 children are among the thousands of people who have been killed. just over 10 days ago, the lensky said at 1300 ukrainian soldiers had been killed since the beginning of the war. and all this, while russia struggles to seize control of ukraine's major cities were hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped with dwindling access to food watering electricity out there is rob mcbride reports now from the city of living at mid reports of counter attacks against russian forces on different fronts,

ukrainian troops around the capital keep say they've retaken territory even threatening to cut off stranded units of russians. there is through big bottle and from official sources. we're soon information right now there are small city mockery and bur. almost whole it been already in the control is ukrainian soldier. russia are increasingly seems to be relying on miss island rockets attacks as its ground forces become bog down. and the russian ministry of defense has released footage of its cruise missiles launched from land and sea that have been striking targets throughout ukraine. while russian forces may have been held in the north and even driven back by counter attacks, according to the ukrainians in the south, greatest strength and organisation appeared to be helping russia make a big impact on the battlefields there in the besieged city of mary

u paul ukrainian defenders say they still hold a perimeter in the center, but new drone footage shows the scale of the devastation. while it's still difficult for people to get out and for humanitarian aid to get in. both sides continue to operate 9 humanitarian color doors and other parts of the country. meanwhile, ukrainian president flooded me as lensky has continued his global charm offensive this time addressing members of japan's parliament 5 video links. as with other direct appeals to the international community. he deathly tailored his message following the offensive on the zappa easy a nuclear plants earlier in the conflict, he touched upon japan's own experience of nuclear attacks to muster support for his country's cause. and i need to review, check out the tire for operating nuclear power plants on our land. there are 15

nuclear units and they are all under threat. while both sides seem to be experiencing successes and set bags in the military struggle in the fight for international support, it's ukraine that appears to be making the most recent gains with robert bride al jazeera levine. so rob was just mentioning that russian forces have largely stalled on their approach to the capital that several buildings and a call there has been hit by artillery strikes. and ron con has more now from care of it has been a nother day where strikes took place. the 1st one took place around 830 a m local time in the morning. now, what happened, where there were 2 artillery shells landed in front of 2 residential buildings of one of them. the entire front of the building was almost blown away. the entire facade of that building windows was smashed in are there were 4 people who were

injured in that attack. and then there were a loud explosion. so throughout the day or up in the north or in those towns, that would have been the front lines or for a couple of weeks now. or then around about 2 o 1, 32 o'clock. or there was a shell that fell onto a car, killing at least one per while killing one person. there we have heard 2 very loud explosions. take place, likely again in the north of kia and that's really are the frontline or when it comes to these artillery showings in their strokes that we've seen in the, in the capital so far. now let me bring you up to date. there has been some movement in the towns outside of the mockery of and at a pin or 2 very crucial towns. those been intense fighting. there are the ukrainian say they've taken both of those hounds, butcher and hoster. well, again,

very closely linked to those places. any bouts, or 15 kilometers way from where i'm standing at the moment. at the ukrainian say they've actually encircled russian forces there, and they're going to try and drive them out of those places. all of those towns are incredibly crucial because of the russians could have linked them up than that would have been a staging post by any attack into the capital itself. well, that's the picture in the capital kia meanwhile and car key. this is ukraine, 2nd largest city, as been intense, rush, and bombardment. now hospitals are struggling to cope with their share number of wounded civilians and soldiers coming in. and just to want here, that asset base report from a hospital in khaki does contain distressing images. a desperate attempt to save lives overstretched and overworked, medical staff at hockey, regional, clinical hospital, or under unprecedented pressure. the intensive care unit is filled with victims of

this wall. yes, your name, pam? oh, just your to go anyway. i haven't treated civilians with combat injuries before. i'm overwhelmed with the amount of cases. sometimes we receive 10 people from one location, but we've learned to do it quickly. provide aid. it's our experience that counts a lot of the family. the work under constant threat to their own lives. i. we are standing here and listening to the sound of shelling. i don't know where it will hit. the hospital's impala clear and solar chip or destroyed in loss over the fish hospitals don't work anymore. we don't know what will be to day if the bomb lands the hospital will no longer exist, the children's hospital is destroyed. the center for blood donation operates from the basement. many of these people were in their homes when they were hit by shrapnel. a little bit ago. the shilling was intense. then it stopped than it started again. 3 people were killed immediately. i'm the only one that survived, but have all these injuries with any other kind of injuries that you're sink

downstairs, they are more patience. one of the more such as leg has been amputated, we can hear, you know, actually there was a lot of patients with the serious are injures right here. but the, this boy is the most strong well from all of them, because most of them are crying, asking for saving their legs and their arms. but the, he was the only one who said, just do what you think you need to do. so this is surreal. warriors still heart and he has one message for the world sky in motor green. these woods are filled with casualties from this war. here, most of patients are after artillery. it's not because most of patients was wounded by tillery. it's just because most of patients after aircraft are dead though this

is the most heart patient. in another would be fun. you've guinea telescope, he threw his body over his 8 year old son when he heard explosions from his son was unharmed, travelling above his chest and then go out. here. he was struck by shrapnel. the piece of shuttle that we see here were shown pieces of shrapnel by the stuff this tiny piece killed, a woman just missed him, a deal him by staying here. we are defending our families. i'm working for victory . we have together. we are in a common cause. this is my bed. one for the staff here. this is their life. they sleep in the corridors to stay close to their patience and hope the walls are protect them. if the hospital is hit for and you flip car. yep. patients like sasha and medical staff her have all asked for the same thing. oblivious of the politics around it. they want the air space over ukraine and this city closed because if the damage done from the bonds are dropped from planes that are causing the most

casualties. i said bake. i'll just eat a heart if we should get a picture of the main battle grounds. now in the country, and these areas in red have been seized by russia. ukraine still controls its capital key of, as we've been saying, but it is under constant fire. and then further north russian troops have destroyed a bridge to the ancient city of tyranny. have that was critical for evacuations, and a deliveries local authority. say the city is without, has no clean water or gas. western intelligence, official se russian warships are striking the port city of morrow pal, where at least a 100000 people are trapped with no food or water. seizing mary awful will help russia create a land corridor to crimea, which annexed in 2014 and rush in forces or trying to bypass the city of nikolai of to seize ukraine's biggest portion. odessa, where residents of barricading the streets in preparation for an invasion. al jazeera, stephanie deka,

is that in odessa. life here now is all about preparing the city for a potential russian attack every day. a dozens come here, come together to fill up sandbags on the beaches and then fill up 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. everyone here are saying that they do believe something will happen. we've seen, as i said earlier in increased already in shelling in the area in the last couple of days. but certainly results here remain strong. everyone we've spoken to to will tell you that russia will not take a deaf with a news our life from london much more still to bring you look at the people has been leaving everything behind ukrainians. who escaped their homes, speak of the scenes of horror and devastation. they witness also following small stories, madeline albright wants the highest rank and women in the history of the us government has died at the age of 84. ah, international criminal court is investigating whether war crimes have been committed in ukraine and call the crying for russian president by team of fusion to

be prosecuted. and the i. c. c defines war crimes as a grave breaches of the geneva conventions agreements that were signed off the 2nd while war breeches into deliberately attacking civilians as well as military targets where civilian casualties could be excessive. west. anita certainly think that russia has violated those rules that use foreign policy chief says targeting hospitals and civilian shelter, mario full is a war crime. the u. s. says it's established that russian forces have committed war crimes in ukraine and president job by himself called fusion, a war criminal earlier this month. but it still has not been determined by an actual tribunal, like the icpc, which neither russia nor ukraine is a part of russia does not recognize the court. but ukraine has allowed the i c. c, to examine alleged atrocities de dating back to 2014. when russia annexed, crimea was joining me now is j. jim colston,

the executive director of open society foundations, justice initiative. he joins us by zoom from new york. i wanted to stop by asking you about this official declaration by your secretary of state, anthony blinkin. a. why is he making this, taking the step of making a formal accusation of war crimes now? well, i can't speak to the motivation of u. s. government officials, but i think we are seeing more and more ports of indiscriminate attacks and attacks that are deliberately targeting civilians and which have resulted in the destruction of civilian infrastructure and putting residential building schools and hospitals. and so there does seem to be ample evidence that at least raises serious questions as to whether war crimes are being committed. and i think the international criminal court, as you mentioned, is looking at the situation they've already the prosecutor and his team or been on the ground there. and i know we're doing. ready as they can to gather information

and evidence, and we'll see what that what that office ultimately determined. but i think the public reports to date are certainly deeply, deeply concerning. when you just in the, just in the city of mary a fall where we've seen targeting densely populated neighborhoods, bombing, humanitarian carter is bombing a hospitals in a theater with what authority said, we're 1200 civilians inside all of these suggest where there's in many reports, no evidence of, of the armed forces do praying or military infrastructure in the area, which certainly suggests that these are attacks which are in violation of international manager and law. how will the i c c develop its investigation? what of the difficulties or the obstacles in using international law to condemn russia? well, of course, the international criminal court has the authority to adjudicate individual responsibility for crimes and crimes against humanity,

and if it were applicable genocide. and so it's not adjudicating the responsibility of states like something such as the european court of human rights for do it's, it's looking at the individual criminal responsibilities of persons, whether they're in the military, in, in local courses or in the political and military high command. the challenge will be, as it often is in these kinds of investigations, to link responsibility to those highest authorities. and that is the targets that ultimately b i. c. c was created to, to, to address the responsibility of those who have the highest responsibility for the perpetration of crimes under the wrong statute of the court. and that will be the real challenge. they'll be using linkage evidence to show that the attacks that we are witnessing today were in fact undertaken at the command of our, of those who have political, military responsibility. the question of whether they can do that's beyond a reasonable doubt to be tested in court. so from saying the difficulty is in

proving the intent to commit war crimes. so and there is an element of knowledge of attempt that is absolutely there. and you know, 10 can be inferred for many different initio. obviously if someone is witnessing what is going on right now and has information that suggests that the civilians are being targeted. but there is no military objective. and nonetheless, is continuing to authorize those attacks. that would be the kind of thing that the prosecutor in a court would be looking and how likely is it that this could result in an indictment or some sort of prosecution against the head of state? well, the, the i c c of course has had a mixed record in the past. one of the challenges of this taken a long time to do work in other inch in another situation. but it is possible for the court to address the responsibility of any actor,

including up to the head of state. ah, the question was whether they can make the case. and then ultimately, of course, what is the question of whether if warrantable arrest were to be issued, they could secure custody over the relevant personnel. i think that's well down the road right now. the court is simply trying to do its investigation as quickly and thoroughly as possible. and you mentioned the, the pace of investigations i. c. c. enquiries can often take years, given the public evidence that you mention, satellite imagery, just the, the reports and the evidence that we currently have plus the fact that there's already been a preliminary investigation into a legible crimes in ukraine since 2014. does that mean that this could perhaps the process will be a bit quicker? i certainly hope so, and i think that is the expectation of a number of observers. now that because if you say the prosecutor has been looking at the situation in ukraine and it has quite a good deal of familiarity situation for years before that,

things will be able to move more quickly. certainly, when 41 states referred the situation to the court as i've done in this instance, i think there is every indication that everyone with like an expeditious investigation to take place. that being said, of course, investigations need to be thorough because the burden of proof is high. so they'll need to, they'll need to do what they can within, within those boundaries to move as quickly as they can. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this. this jim golf, executive director of open society foundations, justice initiative. thank you. the nato secretary general against oldenburg is calling on lead us to give you an additional support against chemical weapons and other threats of large scale destruction and diplomatic as james spaces in brussels . where us president joe biden will be joining an emergency nato summit on thursday . 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 if 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 i would agree to provide additional support including cybersecurity assistance, as well as equipment to help your crane protect against chemical biological, on radiological and new sets. while i pressed, the 2nd is generally not news conference. what does yet she mean by that?

what sort of equipment's going to be supplied? and he said that would be dangerous to give the details 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 with the key things that president nancy has asked for and will be asking, i'm sure again, 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 tough sanctions, particularly on the energy sector. and that's where nato, and particularly the 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 can 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

a sanction that harms you. nations more than it does, the leadership of russia and development says, special envoy, russian president, tim approach and his quit his post in moscow and left the country, anatolia, you buy as is said to resign because of the war. and ukraine is, according to sources, is spoken to the reuters news agency, tobias, it's of the crime that says the rule of boris yeltsin in the ninety's. he was the main architect of russia's post. so yet, economic reforms, a russian investigative journalist has been killed in ukraine during a russian bombing campaign. looks on up by lena was reporting for in kia for the inside a web site. she died while filming in the city bolling a previously worked for rational position figure. lexi novalis anti corruption foundation and had left russia on our lives train station, which is in west and ukraine has been hub of activity since this war began. for more than 3600000 refugees have left the country. most of us levies as

managing ah hello there, there's lots of beautiful weather to be enjoyed across europe at the moment. and there's more of that to come as we move towards the we can particularly across those central and northern areas. we've got high pressure in charge, but we're still seeing the wet and windy weather in the south for the southwest corner as well as the southeast and it's the iberian peninsula. that's bearing the brunt of that wetter weather. we could see some flooding in the south where the rain is heaviest. eastern area seen some heavy rain as well, and a bit of a washout for madrid. things will improve, however, by next week. now further north of this, well it's a largely fine and dry picture. we've seen temperatures in london and paris touch up into 20 degrees for the 1st time this year and know we have some foggy starts in

the morning. it does clear up by the afternoon with plenty of sunshine has sent his sunshine as well for pot to scandinavia. we've got a bit of a wintry mix pushing into western parts of norway as well as eastern areas and bella, ruth and ukraine. but further south of this, well, it is a hot and dry picture. we've got some why fi warnings for slovenia, and a lot of that dry and hot weather extends across northern areas of italy. and if we have a look at the 3 day full milan, well be well above average in the temperature, with plenty of sunshine through the weekend, ah, 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 regression, 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 am friday and hungry on al jazeera. so how do you define a successful 1st here in charge of accounting, we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world we're living. what do you think's been driving the volatility market? counting the cost on al jazeera with bowl and and home stories and asia and the pacific. analogies here. ah ah,

welcome back. look at the main developments this our now and a nato official has told the associated press news agency, the between 7 and 15000 russian soldiers have been killed in 4 weeks of war and ukraine. president road, amir zalinski says his people have not been able to very many of that dead. he says a 120 children are among the thousands of people killed. meanwhile, gives maritsa ukrainian forces a retaking territory on the outskirts of the capital, pushing back russian troops. russia appears to be relying more and more on miss on a rocket attack, as it's forces struggle to gain territory. and then in car key, this is ukraine, 2nd largest city, there's been more intense russian bombardments. hospitals have been over on in the mail, says no area is safe. judging people to go to bomb shelters, basements, and on the ground stations on our a russian resolution calling for aid, access and civilian protection in the ukraine has been table,

but it doesn't mention moscow's role in the crisis. it has failed at the un security council rushes you. an envoys accused the u. s. and the u. k. of blocking humanitarian efforts. this would it be you said you, unless you, if you will, hearts in, at the initiative of a mexican and french colleagues and submitting an early march, a draft resolution on the humanitarian situation in ukraine. mocha, however, this hope was immediately dashed by r u. s. and british colleagues who asserted that this draft is not necessary, xavier from other members of the western camp were forced to follow suit. ultimately, instead of addressing humanitarian issues, we began to deal with a policy of mutual recrimination and accusations with bug and instead of a discussion and drafting a text from western countries without substance asserted that the security council cannot adopt a draft, humanitarian resolution on ukraine lose no of chris, since leonard shines his life and united nations in new york now. and what happened

at the meeting today? not too many surprises here. russia's resolution was soundly defeated, only china and russia voted in favor of it with all other members of the security council abstaining. it's not that humanitarian access to ukraine isn't a concern for the rest of the security council. every country has expressed concern about the increasingly dire situation for civilians on the ground there. and in fact, other efforts have been under way to get a humanitarian resolution passed. the issue specifically for the united states and the united kingdom have been most vociferous against russia's attempts to pass this resolution is that it didn't call out russia as those sole source of the conflict. that's the words of us ambassador linda thomas greenfield. she

said, if russia was serious about helping on the humanitarian front, they'd stopped fighting. and so the united states and the united kingdom and other countries that are aligned with nato, are looking to support another resolution that does just that. that blames russia for the current situation and calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities in addition to humanitarian access that was listed in russia's resolution. and so that dueling, if you will, resolution, it is now in the general assembly. ugh, clearly russia said that it would not support such a resolution in the security council. they described it as political. so the western nato lined countries took their resolution to the general assembly, which doesn't have as much weight as a security council resolution. but where they can show

a broad consensus with the hope being that they get a lot of countries behind it to show rush that russia's isolation. and in fact, they have some 86 co sponsors for this resolution. ukraine called for this version of their resolution. and spoke out in favor of it and we've been hearing speeches all day long in the general assembly so many. so i that the discussion is likely to continue in to thursday. so that resolution is broadly expected to pass a that humanitarian resolution. the question is, how much support will it get? will it get more support than the 140 votes that the last resolution and the general assembly calling out russia? god, will it further isolate russia on the international stage? that is what we will be watching to see. thank you very much. kristen salumi at united nations. now chechen fighters have joined the war and ukraine fighting

for and against russia. rums on could deer, all the loyal puts in supporter, and the leader of russia's, chechen republic says he's personally going to fight in ukraine. he leads tens of thousands of men, essentially, the largest personnel force of any russian federal republic. but it's unclear how many of actually join the fight. meanwhile, hundreds of fighters who fled russia during the chechen civil was reported. he backing the opposite side ukrainian forces. at least 2 arm chechen groups have been battling russian by rebels and ukraine's is 2014. russia is not revealed how many soldiers of died in ukraine. there are reports, a disproportionate number of from ethnic minorities experts, just people from economically disadvantaged ethnic republics. my actually form the majority of russia's fighting force or at least gallano is a political science lecture at columbia. university showings is now from new york. so it, chechen fights has, are involved on both sides of the conflicts. tell us 1st why russia was so keen to

announce the role and deployment of chechens on it side. well, i would say that i couldn't uses dearest forces somewhat as a propaganda tool, as an attack dog and in south being a world lard of the chechnya region, uses a psychological intimidation in the use of force against his own population and against any political opponents. so there's a lot of propaganda value against ukraine and kind of just the goal is to so fear among ukranian civilians by using these very feared and brutal and tyrannical. basically, forces known as the can. you don't see. as you say, there's a lot of statements and, and propaganda, but is it, can we be certain that roms on could daryl is in ukraine. now it looks like he said

he was in ukraine because again, it boosts his kind of reputation domestically within chechnya. and he wants to appear like a tough guy, but it looks like it's either never wasn't you crate or if he was me only for an hour or so. so he did allow some of his fighters to, to engage in battle, and many of them were killed, including a commander. so, looks like since that happened, that was early on in the war. many of the church and 47 pulled back from the french . and he's filming them again for his domestic reasons within chechnya, and i'm still with them as a, as, as if they're in the, in the heat of battle. and actually there are no longer apparently doing much of the fighting there. what do we know about the involvement of fighters from all the ethnic minorities? unfortunately, russia has the tradition of relying on men who are on the back of the social

economic ladder. it was something we should be injured as well. and many of these fighters are conscripts, so some of the ethnic minorities in russia, not all of them. there are many ethnic minorities and many are much more privileged or very similar to russians, but some of them including migrants who aren't even russians. tiffany: and who are now being recruited. some of them are the kinds of conscripts that he joining the russian army as a, as a financial ticket. you know, as a, as a way that they can earn money. they have to sign a fee and then they, they, they make a salary which is higher than what they put otherwise with their, you know, within russia or in their, if they're migrants within central asia. so unfortunately, there has been quite a reliance on ethnic minorities, especially from central asia in ford. and we've been hearing about russian supply line difficulties and problems with morale and casualties as well.

the figure is not very clear, is the involvement of mercenaries and fighters from these ethnic minor. she's going to be enough to counter the, the issues that they've had with cons, scripts and professional soldiers fighting and ukraine. i think the problem with morale spans all, not all that significant segment because the russian army, regardless whether they're already or not really because that gets into do minorities and i feel russian or do they feel patriotic or loyal. and that's the kind of open question i think that very probably varies by which ethnic group we're talking about. certainly if they start to rely on migrant from central asia, that is a different story because they're not even rational. and they actually should not be in the russian army, but i read that they are now recruiting migrants to fight in the army. so i can't

see that that particular group, if they join in large numbers, would have any stake in the price or have any kind of loyalty to russia. but i think overall morale is a huge problem. you know, there is not a lot of clarity on, on, on who's doing who they would be fighting against. and many of the russian army soldiers are not interested in fighting in ukraine. thank you very much. at least, juliana for joining us from new york. oh, just wants to hunt some other stories of following now and in somalia, 6 people there of died after gunman storm the military base and the capital market tissue. the base is inside the cities highly fortified international airport houses the un, several foreign missions, and the african union military had cortez somali security forces that they killed 3 gunman trying to get inside the on group. al chabad is kind of carried out the attack. malcolm web has more from market issue the gum and attacks helena. com,

the office on which i am about to enter on, which i'm about to enter. so old, right wielded her power and direct and controversial when enforcing the un economic embargo against a rock. despite iraq's present weakness, the future threat has not been erased. iraq's behavior and intentions must change before our policies can change. otherwise, we will allow the scorpion that bid us once to bite us again, pushing us allies to back a military strike on a rock and 1998 because of saddam hussein's refusal to let you, when weapons inspectors into the country. we have said many times that we prefer to have a diplomatic solution, but we need to resolve this problem. and we have also said that we

will take what necessary means in order to achieve those 2 objectives. and supporting the u. s. bombing of kosovo in 1999 to protect bosnian muslims. what was happening in the former yugoslavia. it was a far away place with people with unpronounceable names. and i felt that we did have to do something and of what people, what i'm proudest of is what we did in bosnia and what later when our secretary of state we did in kosovo. madeline cor bill was born in the former checklist. slovakia in 1937, the daughter of a diplomat, the core bell family fled to the u. s. after communist took power and prague in 1947 after university cor bell married joseph albright and raised a family. at each $39.00, she completed her ph. d and launched her foreign policy career, including serving on the national security council under president jimmy carter and serving as us ambassador to the united nations under president bill clinton. to day

we begin to cleanse the hatred that has torn apart. the former yugoslavia albright was criticized for pushing a tough policy on a rock that led to children dying of hunger and medicine shortages. we have heard that half a 1000000 children die is the price worth it. i think this is a very hard choice that the price we think the price is worth it. and albright failed to broker piece between the palestinians and israelis. she also couldn't stop north korea from selling ballistic missiles to other countries. nation in her later years, albright set up a consultancy taught future diplomats and became something of a pop culture figure in the united states. she wrote a book about the messages behind the broaches she wore. i am so sorry to keep you waiting. and albright appeared twice on a t v drama about a fictional secretary of state, circled in more than anything. madeline albright will likely be remembered for

holding an unvarnished view of the world and willing to confront challenges head on time atlas ball with peter his endow. ha, man, thank you so much. he is at the peak of a game, but will number one actually bought? he is retiring from tennessee. it's been 2 months after winning the australian open . the 3 time grand slam champion who turns 26 in april. physically, she has nothing more to give. sara clark reports from bridge them. she's been well number one for 3 years. and in january claimed her 3rd grand slam title on her soil at the study and opened now ashburn, he made a shock nonsense. she's retiring from the game. success to me is, is knowing that i've given absolutely ever everything i can for food. i'm happy and i know how much work it takes to, to bring the best out of yourself. the well,

number one described her when at wimbledon last year, as a combination of her sporting dreams that's on top of her french ivan victory in 2019. but early this month she withdrew from the north american hot court season. in the united states study, her body hadn't recovered enough to defend her title. i just know physically i have nothing more to give and that for me is, is success. i've given absolutely everything i can to this beautiful sport of tennis. the tennis world has expressed shock at the news of her time, and for my number one tennis champion abbey, murray summed up the reaction in a tweet. he said one happy for ash party, gutted tennis water player. she has to be spoken. busy in the same category as people like stephanie graph, monica selfish, margaret, sorry, but you never after the free 7, even though they had much longer and decided to play for greater a longer period. what ashes done in such

a short time is truly remarkable. you are all cross your commitment to excellence in your chosen field in tennis, you are right cricket i who cried tennis by, i'm sure any. when you turn your hand to, you are going to be a great success and i have no doubt that will be the, the cases you go forward with the next, the next chapters in your life as part, he is proud of her indigenous heritage as tennis a strategy is 1st nations ambassador. she finishes her professional tennis korea on her terms. and at the top of her game, sarah clark, al jazeera, brisbin, australia, tennis channel commentator john worth. i'm fis traveling and being away from australia for long periods of time, likely played a major role in parties decision to retire. she's fiercely patriotic as you reference her for connection to 1st nations. and this is someone who would just love to stay home when like aussie rules football,

she's not interested in going to the best restaurants in tokyo and paris. and i also think that so much of the tennis tour is far, far away, especially during koby and it's really tough for australian players. i mean, you know, in for players and in europe in the united states, you can go month to month to month and not change time zone. you can go home in between events. you can't do that when you're from australia. and i think last year she went on the road. there were obviously some very restrictive. coby prohibitions against her returning. and i think that played a big role in this. it's rough and it was rough for her and she spoke about that. and i think that has a lot to do with it. i mean i cried for like 30 minutes actually when she posted that video and the interview. yeah. ashes achieve so much and how career at such a young age. i feel like she's, she's kind of the out her goal and she's achieved that. so i think i really respect decisions. i think it really speaks to the way that our game empowers women.
