[000:00:00;00] ah, which is where ever you are. oh oh no, sure, false is continue to bombard the ukrainian capital as the un needs to discuss the humanitarian consequences. the ukraine war. ah, hello, hello robin, you're watching. i was there like my headquarters here in doha. also coming up

u. s. president joe biden arrives in europe. why he'll meet you leaders to push for more sanctions against russia and boost to you that he also ukraine's president calls on franz to stop sponsoring the russian war machine in an address to the parliament. and the 1st one moved to serve. as u. s. secretary of state has died. madeline albright was 84 and family says she had cancer. welcome to the program. it's been full week since the russia launched an invasion of ukraine with no end in sight. the conflict present blood remains the landscape is calling for global demonstrations against the wall. it's kill thousands displaced, millions and devastated cities. despite that, ukrainian troops have kept up their resistance. they say they've re captured territory near the capital. keith, robert bright begins, are coverage amid reports of counter attacks against russian forces on different

fronts. ukrainian troops around the capital keep say they've, we taken territory even threatening to cut off stranded units of russians. there is sort of big bottle and from official sources. we're soon information right now they're ah small city mccarthy. and her almost whole air pain already in the control is ukrainian soldier. russia are increasingly seems to be relying on miss island rocket 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. each other 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 when she's in rob mcbride, al jazeera levine, ukrainian forces, saddening off attacks by russian troops in the 2nd largest city of car keith, it's man says no merrier is safe and people should go to bomb shelters, basements and underground stations. as a bank visited the hospital in the city, the warning that the report contains images that the viewers may find disturbing. a desperate attempt to save lives overstretched and overworked, medical staff at the regional clinical hospital under unprecedented pressure. the

intensive care unit is filled with the victims of this war. yes, and then for him i would just recall why 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 accounts to promote the work under constant threat to their own lives. 3 months. you're standing here and listening to the sounds shilling. i don't know where it will hit. the hospital symbolically ends all a chip or destroyed in those over the hospital is don't work anymore. we don't know what will be today. 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 and they were hit by shrapnel. shilling was intense, then it stopped then it started again. 3 people were killed immediately. i'm the only one that survived,

but have all these injuries. one of the kind of injuries that you're seeing downstairs they are more patient is one of the most sashes leg has been amputated. if you can have, you know, actually there was a lot of patients with the serious 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 arms. but he was the only one who said, just do what you think you need to do. so this is a real warrior, still heart and he has one message for the world, goes this guy in the 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 funny of 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 and walk. if a victory we are 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 were protect them. if the hospital is hit for and you flip the card up, 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 bombed are dropped from planes,

the causing the most casualties. i said bake. i'll just eat a heart if. so, let's look at the situation across ukraine all day. 28th of the wall areas in red are held by russian forces and the separatist allies, ukrainian forces in besieged mario paul. still holding out there being further civilian evacuations from neighboring towns and ukraine says it successfully pushed back russian advances with counter offensive near keith. and michel 8th tension fighters have joined the war in ukraine on both sides of the front line rooms uncovered all se loyal to the porter and leader of russia's. chechen republic says he's personally gone to fight, but it's unclear how many forces have actually taken a bombs. at least canada is a political science lecture at columbia university. she says putin is using chattered fighters to create fear. uses your forces somewhat

as i'm propaganda tool as an attack dog and could years from south being a war lard of the church checking in region use is 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, i guess ukraine and kind of just the goal is to so fear among ukrainian civilians by using these very feared and girl and, and tyrannical. basically, force is known as the can. you see, he wants to appear like a tough guy, but it looks like it's either never wasn't new credit or he was mainly only for an hour or so on. so she did allow some of the spiders 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 for 7 pulled back from the french. and he's filming them again for his domestic reasons within chechnya, and i'm filming them as a, as, as if they're in the heat of battle. and actually there are no longer, apparently doing much of the fighting. they're no use. president joe biden has arrived in brussels to me to european need as a discuss the possibility of new sanctions against russia button and said that there's a real threat that russia could use chemical weapons against ukraine. he'll meet nato g 7. an elite is on his 4 day trip. could welcome is a full year, a semester to nato. he's covered a distinguished fellow at the center for european policy analysis. and best of all could, could help you with this on the program. and you join us from washington, d. c via z. and we just begin with how much hard boggling is expected to be able to take it by the u. s. president. because he's got to try and gauge, hasn't he? how nato, the position of ukraine can become one. i think there is

a high degree of unity already. i wouldn't say it's hard bargaining. i think that in terms of sanctions with european union, it's great deal of unity about pursuing the existing sanctions tightening up the implementation. and then will be discussion about sanctions on russian energy exports as well. which i think will make some progress, although more needs to be made at nato. again, a high degree of unity about the sense of nato territory and reinforcement of allies in east. what is unclear is exactly what they will be saying about ukraine's independence and sovereignty. when that is a core interest of nato, and what nato's prepared to do about it, other than continue to provide assistance on an individual basis, i'm sure that will come out perhaps in the final communicate. so in terms of sanctions, you know, many european states have over the last few days we've been hearing saying they've done as much as they possibly can. i germany, perhaps of the say they could do bull,

what's your take on what more can be done and it's fuel the real sent to point to the focus that should be pushed. you might say by press the button. well, absolutely more can be done. and the energy sector is ground 0 for this. now russia is still getting about a $1000000000.00 a day in revenue from the world for its oil and gas exports. europe, shutting this off, as soon as possible, can make a big dent in that russian income. in addition to that, there are now already examples of how sanctions have been avoided by russian or are trying to be awarded by russia. and those goals need to be closed. and that's a form of secondary sanctions against entities that collaborate with russia. in order to avoid falling under the sanction. so that's another area that needs to be picked up. and finally, i think that financial sanctions have been put in place against russian banks. i've been quite effective and yet they are also trying to then use secondary bank search

. extra organizations do receive payment, make payments, and even the united states treasury facility is $1.00 of these in terms of paying off interest on a russian debt. these are areas that need to be taken that as well. can i also talk to just about the tactics being used diplomatically because no sooner are the u. s . and e, you talking about sanctions or a certain point of view, but how to deal with you cray. but then we get minister love ro from get a quote here through a translation that we have talking about nato and saying that sir, if need to agrees with the polish proposal to deploy peacekeepers to ukraine, the move could trigger a military conflict between the u. s. lead block at moscow, he's alluded to the same issue, should more troops be deployed to the baltic states. and then we have this other point, which is has been denied by some are in russia, that the potential for nuclear armaments to be used in this conflict. they are, is it,

they're changing parameters that both of you and the u. s. has to deal with while they also deal with the financial implications of sanctions. right, so these are great examples that you brought up. the russians are never saying what is actually the case. that elaborate is a gifted spokesperson on behalf of russia, in terms of selling propaganda and this information in this meeting. whenever you hear a russian statement like this, you need to ask yourself, why are they saying? and the reason that he is warning off nato. and all of these different ways is because that's what they most fear. they really don't want to face any kind of nature, country intervention in the war. they're having a hard enough time as it is dealing with the ukrainian military there after an initial invasion. they're losing ground again, having a hard time sustaining with forces. the last thing they want is nato. to be more active in helping you grains. that's why they're making all of these warnings about civil cuz it's good. oh, good to speak to as always. thank you very much for joining us for washington

d. c. thank you so much. still a had him on al jazeera disappointment for girls, and i've got his phone after the taliban reverses it's decision to allow them to return to school. ah hello, there will start in north america. we seen severe storms roll across the southeast corner of the u. s. bringing tornadoes to places like texas and louisiana, this was the scene. they're causing devastation and destruction. now the threat continues, but it has pushed out further east. we could see those severe storms rolling all the way from florida up to new england with flooding rains and very strong winds. now it's worth a stretching up into the great lakes bringing wetter weather here. we're going to

see more snow as well. edging into eastern areas of canada now behind it, we've also got a weather system that's moved across from british columbia. that's brought temperatures down in places like when a pagan, it's gonna hit toronto by the time we get into friday, we are going to see the temperature dip right down close to the average. we've had a lot of unusual warmth ahead of that. and we could see some snow come into play on saturday. now for the western areas of canada, we are seeing wintery and wet weather. but for the south of this look at that largely fine and dry with a temperature touching up into the 30s, potentially in los angeles. now, as we move to central america, we are going to see the rain pick up that band, a rain pushing into the yucatan peninsula, but plenty of sunshine in kingston. ah, gotta one of the fastest growing nations in the world. ronnie needed to

to cease control of ukraine's major cities. you as president joe biden has arrived at brussels to meet europe. b doesn't talk through new sanctions. by that has said that there's a real threat that russia could use chemical weapons against ukraine. the un security council has just rejected a resolution drafted by russia. on the humanitarian crisis, a new crate, they made no reference to moscow's attacks on ukraine. and he, russia, and china voted in favor of the resolution, while 13 of the members abstained. christmas, louise jones been out from you and headquarters in new york. it has to be said that sir, this resolution did not go the way that russia would have wanted. this is true, i at this stage. i, no one can deny that there is suffering in ukraine,

that civilians are suffering from the war. ah, in russia is not denying that they claim they want to help and they put forward this resolution france and mexico had been working on their own humanitarian resolution that not only called for access for humanitarians and protection of civilians. but also blamed russia for causing the harm to civilians and called on them for an immediate cessation of hostilities. and that was the backdrop to russia. introducing this resolution, the fact that france and mexico were working on their own version that basically blamed russia for the catastrophe. and they brought their resolution to the general assembly where russia could not veto it. the so russia said that they were looking for something that wasn't political,

that would help the situation on the ground and build consent, says china, as you mentioned, was the only country that voted with them the united states. and the united kingdom responded by saying, you know, look, if you were serious about entering the suffering you'd, you'd stop bombing and, and they refused to support anything that didn't point the finger directly at russia. they are. so i think this was a way for russia to show some concern while maintaining their version of events that they're responding with what they call their special military operation to ukraine's aggression and nato expansion and so on. but clearly they were isolate in the security council in coast rest of the, of the party in this conflict is ukraine. they also have pop suggested a resolution to me where all we with that. right. and they're behind this resolution that france and mexico were working on

drafting. that's the one that ukraine and the nato allied countries support that has been submitted to the general assembly. but so many countries signed up to talk about it before the vote that the speeches are continuing. and it's going to go into thursday before that resolution is actually voted on. it has 86 co sponsors, so it should pass easily, although perhaps not as decisively as the nato align countries were hoping for. they were hoping to win over 35 countries that abstained in the last vote in the general assembly, which deplored russia's aggression and called for, for, for them to withdraw among those countries with south africa. but south africa has now gone ahead and put in their own resolution in the general assembly, which doesn't call out russia. they say that they want a consensus resolution. they are so seems unlikely that they are going to change.

and, and now aside with the western countries, so it might not be as decisive as the nato align countries in ukraine wanted, but it looks like we can expect that to pass to morrow grisly with the update. thanks very much. now russia, foreign minister warns, sending data peacekeepers to ukraine could lead to war with the west. as we mentioned earlier, poland has proposed sending troops, although the bite administration has ruled out any ground presence so good after off as accusing the us of trying to pull the strings behind the scenes this stupid . or what does that tell you in the united states is playing a decisive role here. this is aimed to dramatize the situation to allow the lensky to where he's khaki shirt, to address the wills poly minutes. and after each source address with tears and emotion, to demand again the involvement of nato, our polish colleagues have already stated that now the nato summit is going to happen. they will be sending pacemakers. i hope they understand exactly what

they're talking about. this will be the 1st class of the bush now, me and nato. me something that everybody not only wanted to avoid what i've been saying shouldn't take place in principal the space of the days of that he is now on . she said the nazis is a child and rose to become one of the most powerful women in u. s. government history. madeline albright america's 1st female secretary of state has died at the age of 80 full. rosalind jordan looked back at her life and career without any mental re, madeline albright made history. when in 1997 she became the 1st woman to serve. as u. s. secretary of state, discharge the duties of the office discharged the duties of the office on which i am about to enter on, which i'm about to enter. so old, right? wielded her power in direct and controversial when enforcing the un economic embargo against a rock. despite iraq's present weakness,

a very hard choice that the price we think the crisis 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, i 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 jericho mean more than anything? madeline albright will likely be remembered for holding an unvarnished view of the world and willing to confront challenges head on gunman, hostile de military basins. molly's capital killing at least 6 people. the camp is inside the jaime full to find international. appleton logo,
