threatening to cut off stranded units of russians. there is sort of big battle and from official sources. we're soon information. right now, there are small city markers ampere, almost whole it been already in the control is ukrainian soldier. russia are increasingly seems to be relying on miss ireland. 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 bigger 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 corridors in other parts of the country. meanwhile, ukrainian president flood him is a lensky, has continued his global charm offensive this time addressing members of japan's parliament by a video link. as with other direct appeals to the international community, he deftly tailored his message following the offensive on the support easier nuclear plant. earlier in the conflict, he touched upon japan's own experience of nuclear attacks to muster support for his country's course. and as his english 3 d j adam, yes, there are full 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, its ukraine that appears to be making the most recent gains. what chief robert bride al jazeera levine, the ukrainian forces, are fending off attacks by russian troops and the 2nd largest city of concave. it's mer says no area is safe, and people should go to bomb shelters, basements and underground stations. as the bank visited a hospital in the city awarding that the report contains images that some viewers may find disturbing. a desperate attempt to save lives overstretched and overworked, medical staff at hockey regional clinical hospital are under unprecedented pressure . the intensive care unit is filled with victims of this war. yes, librium. 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 or to promote 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 knowledge of or destroyed in laws over hospitals don't work anymore. we don't know what will be today. if the bomb lands the hospital will no longer uses, 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. both 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.

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, close the sky in motor green. these woods are filled with casualties from this war . here most of patients are, after all, tillery it's not because most of patients was wounded by or tillery is just because most of patients after aircraft are dead. so this is the most heart patient of in another would be fine. you have guinea plesco, he threw his body over his 8 year old son when he heard explosion 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. custom of missed him by staying here. we are defending our families and walk in for 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 are protect them. if the hospital is hit for. and you flip the card up, patients like sasha and medical staff here 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 it's the damage done from the bombs that are dropped from planes that are causing the most casualties. i said big al jazeera her give. so

let's look at the situation across ukraine on day $28.00 of the wall areas in red are held by russian forces, and they're separatist allies, ukrainian forces in besieged maria. paula, still holding out that there have been further civilian evacuations from neighboring towns and ukraine says that successfully pushed back russian advances with counter offenses near keith and michael live. now, ukraine's president has called fort global support. he wants people around the world to protest on thursday to mock one month since russia's invasion, starting from march 24th. exactly one months after the russian invasion from these day and after them, shawl, you're standing, come from your offices, your homes, your schools and universities come in. the name of bis cow with ukrainian symbols, to support your grain to support freedom, to support life. come to your squares,

your street, make yourselves winnable and hoard. see that people matter? freedom matters bes matters. you gray matters later plans to double the number of its forces on its eastern borders. it's also expected to send more aid to ukraine. now the lines is holding a meeting later on thursday to discuss the war us president job by ms amongst the leaders attending. he said there is a real threat that russia could use chemical weapons against ukraine during his 4 day trip. he'll meet with leaders of native g 7 and the e. u. i could, vulcan is a former us ambassador to nita. he says there's a lot more that western leaders can do to punish moscow. 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 we'll be discussion about sanctions on russian energy

exports as well. which i think will make some progress, although more needs to be made. the energy sector is ground 0 for this. not a russia is still getting about a $1000000000.00 a day in revenue from the world for its oil and gas exports. europe, shutting us off as soon as possible. they make a big dent in that russian income. in addition to that, there are now already examples of how sanctions have been avoided by russia or are trying to be avoided by russia. and those loopholes need to be closed and that's a form of secondary sanctions against entities, but collaborate with russia in order to avoid falling under those sanctions. so that's another area that needs to be picked up. finally, i think the financial sanctions has been put in place to construction banks not been quite effective. and yet they are also trying to then use secondary banks or external organizations to receive payments make payments. even the united states

treasury facilitated. one of these in terms of paying off interest on a rushing deck. these are areas that need to be taken up as well. russia, the foreign minister has war nato, that sending peacekeepers to ukraine could lead to war with the west. poland has proposed sending troops, although the bite administration has ruled out any ground presence. this recipient with you in the united states is playing a decisive role here. this is aimed to dramatize the situation to allow the lensky to wear his khaki shirt, to address the wills parliaments. and after each such 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 you understand exactly what they're talking about. this will be the 1st on a vector class of the bush, an army, and nato. me something that everybody, not only wanted to avoid what i've been saying shouldn't take place in principle.

but ukraine's president lot of his lensky has called on french companies to stop doing business in russia. during his speech to parliament, the french comic a relative has halted operations at its plant in moscow is also deliberating what to do with its majority stake in rushes. number one comic after vans reading and after vans employ more than 45000 people in russia. all still had old al jazeera. ah, you like good said back on the streets of the chance to tell you that demanding from the government ah, ah, look forward to skies with sponsored play cutoff airways. hi there. the heat continues to steal the show for much of south asia. you can see

from the satellite image across india, pakistan, and sri lanka. we've got lots of hot and dry and clear conditions. now we've seen some heavy rain pull in some me and my thanks to a tropical depression. that worked its way out of the bay of been go, but it has dried up mostly by fir, thursday, much of the wet weather can be found in the northeast corner in himalayas. and in some we've also got some coastal showers kissing into that west coast in places like carola, but it is really the heat that is dominating we are seeing across central and western areas, temperatures touching up to nearly 40 degrees by the time 40 degrees, then ac met about by the time we get into friday. now we move across to east asia. the heat is the story when it comes to northern areas of china, beijing seen the temperature well above the average. it was cooler. last week. we'll look at that heat come back in to some of the story for the korean peninsula . but further south of this, we are seeing some really nasty weather come into play. by the time we get into

friday, we've got some heavy rain pulling across central areas into eastern areas, shanghai, seeing where to whether it's going to skirt across into the korean peninsula and hit japan. by the time we get to saturday, that weather. oh, the weather sponsored by katara, always the stage a set and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think war inevitable. i just want to started to please know that they're not doing the right thing. let's leave simplicity to the headlines. join me as i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction. do we have a real democracy here in the united states? it's not a political 40, that's a radical insurgency are mark lamond hill and it's time to get up front right here on out 0. ah

ah, book about kill watching al jazeera with lisa l. robin. a reminder of all the top stories keeps mass as ukrainian forces are retaken, territory of the outskirts of the capitol, pushing back russian troops. now russia appears to be relying upon miss solid rocket attacks as its ground forces. struggle to seize control of major cities. ukraine's president lottery zalinski has called for global protests on thursday to mark what bud since the russian invasion, cholenski edge people to take to the streets to support freedom. and u. s. president biden has arrived in brussels to meet european leaders and talk through these sanctions. biden has said there's a real threat that russia could use chemical weapons against to ukraine. the un security council has rejected a resolution drafted by russia on the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. it made their

reference to moscow's attacks on ukraine and the russia and china voted in favor of the resolution. while 30 other members abstained. kristin sleepy has more from the un $86.00 countries co sponsored ukraine's resolution in the general assembly, demanding humanitarian access to civilians and an end to russia's aggression. it will san de paul who message came as conf contributing to a breakthrough in humanitarian action on the ground and making the aggressive stop . it's on provoked war france. one of the resolutions authors described the war as a threat to international peace and security deposit that was, would assume the draft resolution introduced this morning by ukraine is the fruit of an inclusive process. and it reflects a balance taking account of the proposals made by countries from all regions. there's an urgent need to act and to reach an immediate cessation of hostilities.

but russia's ambassador called the text, political and disingenuous. and as the speeches continued brought his own version of a humanitarian resolution to the more powerful security council. we're lucian wiggle . so we're submitting for a vote, a resolution which is non polar the size, and is in this way similar to other draft humanitarian resolutions of the security council. this is something which un humanitarian representatives on the ground would be very interested in more so than any humanitarian resolution. from the general assembly. russia's resolution was soundly defeated with its only support coming from china. the resolution that we saw to day was a cynical effort by russia to exploit the crisis which they have caused their resolution cold for respect of international humanitarian law, but overlooked the fact that they are committing war crimes. south africa sought

a compromise. submitting a humanitarian resolution to the general assembly, which didn't call out russia. it was among 35 countries that abstained on a boat 3 weeks ago condemning russia's aggression. so many countries signed up to speak in the general assembly hall about the humanitarian situation. the speeches went on all day and are expected to continue into thursday. the ukrainian draft is expected to pass, given it has nearly 90 co sponsors. the question is by how much ukraine and his backers are hoping to show russia's increasing isolation on the international stage . kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations. let's face news now from the rest of the day. she sled, the nazis as a child, and rose to become one of the most powerful women in us government history. madeline albright america's 1st female secretary of state has died at the age of 80 full austin jordan. looked back at her life and korea without any mental madeline

albright made history. when in 1997, she became the 1st woman to serve as us secretary of state discharged 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 albright wielded her power in 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 u. s. allies to back a military strike on a rock in 1998 because of saddam hussein's refusal to let you win 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 or we have also said that we will take what necessary means in order to achieve those 2 objectives. ah, 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 bell was born in the former checklist. slovakia in teen 37, 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 have died. 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 . well, i'm joined. i've, i've been chang foam, a special assistant to us secretaries of state battling albrighton colon pal choice . you now live visor from princeton in new jersey. you could help me with this mr. chang on the program. before we talk about your own personal memories. if miss albright, for the general member of the public, she was a trailblazer that whether you like politicians, that stamps or not, no one can really down the path that she sort of calm down for women to reach high political public office in the u. s. and that is indeed a very important legacy. absolutely, and thank you for taking the time to sign a spotlight on her and the legacy that will level well passed this evening we're

facing today. i saw this personally around the world that child with her as a staff or as a special assistant, whether it was in a small shop in tashkent or in monaco, molly or in burma, the impact of her very presence and her story had on women and children and frankly, people like me, the son of an immigrant, also a single mom and meeting someone like secretary albright, when i was a student at georgia university, was more than any expression i can imagine to go into a career life in public service. so yes, that legacy will absolutely live on. obviously, issues are important, mentor for your good self, but with such a serious job. it comes, i'm sure, with some sort of humor as well. that must have been funny times when he felt the situation was very serious. well indeed and you know, she was one who was able to laugh at herself and she also remind all of us that

there were small is alive that we needed to cherish in the piece preceding this. there was a discussion of her parents or broaches and, and they often carried a very serious message. this was her way of looking at every little detail that they could have an impact. and, and one of the moments that will stand out for me image that's close to my heart was when in 2000 in the state department, there was an event for the kennedy center honors and to the recipients of the honors that year were chuck berry and herbie hancock, the musicians, and so after a formal dinner, there was news and they were performing and i saw her standing by the stage alone. and so i just went up and asked her if she wanted to dance and a photographer capture that movement. and i'm going to cherish that memory and a smile on her face always. and she was sure to make most of moments like that as

well. sometimes it's difficult for women in politics to b. o. show a sensitive side to who they are as people because they're expected to be strong. a hard to a certain extent went in your opinion, was missile bright. or when did she have the ability to you might say, show that charge, but in a way that allowed her to get the diplomatic success she needed with any particular issue. i was an assistant to her successor the u. s. mission to the un bill richardson. and whenever she came back to her old stomping grounds, a secretary of state for a ministry level medium security council was great using this for all signs when she was there. it was a bit of an old home week, and what that showed me was the relationship that she created, even when having to tackle very contentious issues around that table. a table that was just discussed in the context of ukraine. those important and those

relationships even during contentious times, almost or even more important. and you can see that she lay the groundwork or wherever shoot wherever she went about just very briefly and finally and how have secretaries of state benefited. after madeline albright like cul de lisa rice and hillary clinton from her breaking glass ceiling well immensely. and while the secretary clinton secretary rice, i benefited from her really opening doors. i also looked at generations fellow foreign service officers and students places like towards china, but around the world. they continue to learn from her example, read her books, listen to her lectures that she gave, that will continue to pay off and you hear in the words themselves, the words secretary clinton and others themselves. and they talk about the inspiration that madeline was. and there is a sad day, but that will put

a smile on our face. i'm sure it will. i'm sure they'll be many complimentary comments throughout the day, a bench and thanks so much for joining us. thank you. now bobby, a tank has killed at least 15 people in central somalia. it happened in the town of battle wayne in a battle of state, please say member of parliament and to fall below maker amongst the dead. many of us did earlier, gunman stormed a military base in the capitol, mogadishu, killing, at least 6 people, the campus inside the highly fortified international airport security forces said they kill 3 of the attackers, trying to get inside the old group, osh, about claim responsibility. now the complex house is the un, several for emissions, and the african union military headquarters. french president merrill macro is calling for com after the death of a provident corsica nationalist figure who've been in prison for decades. the body of even colona was, or hands be moved now from the hospital where he was being treated back to the
