2:01 pm
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 he needs to do. north korea launch as an intercontinental ballistic missile for the 1st time in 4 years. one month into russia's invasion of ukraine. ward leaders are again trying to find a way out nato g 7 and e u summit. so being held in brussels, they're hoping to find a way to end the war, punish moscow for its actions, and strengthen europe's security. u. s. president joe biden is among those attending, but in ukraine cities continue to be hit while troops are holding off russian advances around the capitol. those widespread destruction across several regions. among them is the southern port city of mario pole, or more than a 100000 people are trapped. a diplomatic editor, james bays is at that nasal missing in brussels. james,
2:02 pm
foreign leaders clearly determined to show that there's some unity, but there is speculation about what might actually come out of these meetings. and most of what is going to be done, i think, is blessing of things that already happen, nor are in train. and there has been a really substantial effort by these allies, the nato allies, the e u. m. many things that they've done are things that you couldn't have predicted they'd have done a month ago. the sanctions are tougher than any one thought. the stopping of nordstrom to a complete change in german defense policy. but the problem is they've reached a point, i think, where it's difficult to know what else they can do. they certainly can't do. what presidents lensky, who's been addressing them in closed session in the last hour or so, what he's asking for that no fly zone. i think he knows he's not going to get that from nato. the other thing that the ukrainians want is tougher sanctions and
2:03 pm
particularly sanctions on the oil and gas that comes from russia. the you depends on 40 percent of its energy needs from russia. are the problem, there is e u countries say, well, if we did this, it would completely damage our economy, cause an immediate recession and really hurt the people in our country. and there's an added problem there. the fact that in the last 24 hours, russia has said those e u nations must now pay for the oil and gas in rubles, to try and prop up his flagging currency by president putin as has ordered that. and that again, i think he's got to be some tension behind the scenes of these allies, but there are things that they will focus on. and they, i think, are the permanent presence potentially, of nato forces on that east and flank the countries closest to russia. they're also going to prepare for what putin might do next. if he was to threaten, for example, to use chemical or biological weapons that they're going to try and think how they
2:04 pm
can protect those countries that are in the east and potentially try and protect ukrainians if there was that possibility. and the other thing that's coming next, potentially that they're worried about is of course, the fall of mario paul and one senior nato. a military official told me that could happen in a matter of days, according to their latest intelligence assessments. hi, james. obviously we are going to be checking in with uses meetings carry on today, but for now don't have the magic hat at james base in docile, thank you. although and i had said was unusually quiet and ukrainian capital, which is face shelling in recent days, among hon. has more on those incidence. one of those actually, our colleagues are al jazeera arabic witnessed 1st hand, they were on the scene of the bombing that took place. the previous date was one of the biggest attacks that had taken place so far. at least 8 people have been killed and the damage was across a massive area was a shopping mall on my colleague or my colleagues were actually stood there about to
2:05 pm
go live or when a shell hit a car. ah, killing one person inside that car. we've been speaking to the arabic team that were there, they said the shelling came out of nowhere. they had a loud bang. and then are they heard a huge explosion on the ground? and that was where they saw a person who had actually died. that was one attack, not far away from that shopping all about a few kilometers. there was another attack where allegedly, a russian journalist with a killed al, this russian journalist was an opposition activist. she had connections to the opposition activist. i alexi nev only who is a key russian dissident. i. she had connections to him. she was also killed in that attack. her organization, the insider, a very vocal about the fact that they suggest that she may have been targeted. we have no idea where that she was or not. let's bring in stuffy jacket in the port
2:06 pm
city odessa. stephanie, this is a significant city for the russian advance. talked us about what people are doing there, what's light? he asked, this is what they would call the jewel of the black. or it seems as significant as to teach a key or the navy is based here, but also culturally and historically are far founded by catherine the great in the 18th century. so you have a lot going on here. it's a month to day officially into this war now. and initially people were telling me that they were very scared. now, there is resilience. there is resolved one woman saying that the feelings have changed. how are they preparing? while the city is a fortress, there are checkpoints all around, would allow to film them ah, but very much fortified. also coming into the entrance of the city and then within the city itself, you have a lot of people, obviously,
2:07 pm
that have joined what they call the civil defense forces. to back up the army, we've actually just been filming with normal civilians who are not intending on joining the territorial army, but who want to simply be able to if it comes down to it, be able to operate a weapon. now one man we spoke to, he was shaking, he had tears in his eyes and he said, you know i miss. see, man, i never thought it would get to this point. my wife and my 6 year old daughter are in romania. it's very difficult for me to explain to my daughter why the family is no longer together. and another woman we spoke to, she's a lawyer. she actually looked very agile or what she was doing with the garden. i asked her, have you used a weapon? and before she said, no, it's my 7th lesson however, because i now intend to be self sufficient. i want to protect myself. i want to protect those. i love and she said, you know, usually i have much more relaxed hobbies. i dont tango and certainly i never thought that i be needing to know how to operate. a weapons are really you see very different levels of people getting involved in how to protect themselves. this is
2:08 pm
the city that has seen an increase. let's say in shelling over the last couple of days this morning. the military administration here confirming 5 rockets being aimed by russian fleet at the coast. not being spent specific about where but here in odessa and saying they didn't hit their targets, it is all very secret of certainly when it comes to the military giving information . but i think people, yes, as you said, they're a huge, a strategic port, really the end game when it comes to that whole advance along the southern coast, starting with mary up all. now the russian troops being pushed back around the city of nikolai, of which is north east of here. but the feeling here is that at some point the russian attack will happen stiffly decker in odessa. thank you. will the city of hot heave has been under constant bombardment for weeks? ukrainian forces offending off russian troops. but as i said, beg reports from the hospital there is coming at a cost. let me give you a warning. this report contains images that viewers may find disturbing.
2:09 pm
a desperate attempt to save lives overstretched and overworked, magical stuff at her t regional clinical hospital under unprecedented pressure. the intensive care unit is filled with the victims of this war. yes, your name for him, i will 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 the promote, the work under constant threat to their own lives. we're standing here and listening to the sound, a shilling. i don't know where it will hit. the hospitals impala clear in solar chip or destroyed in those over the hospitals 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
2:10 pm
the base and many of these people were in their homes. when 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 there are more patients, 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, goes the sky in motor green. these words are filled with casualties from this war.
2:11 pm
here, most of patients are after all, tillery. it's not because most of patients was wounded by tillery, is just because most of patients after aircraft are dead. so this is the most heart patient in another would be fine. you have 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 with you 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 best one for the staff here. this is their life. they sleep in the corridors to stay close to their patients and hope the walls are protect them. if the hospital is hit for and you sleep guard,

2:14 pm
report in the middle east. right now, those winds have shifted toward the north that strap down temperatures, but blustery winds, though her gusts of 65 kilometers per hour on saturday. hang onto your hats. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always. does their mind play tricks, but then car is always is parked right there. or are they really out there? and you pass them by like they pull up a leg or act like they're not in the car through make it takes the f, b only to court, to find out approximately 33120 pages of records did in the process. mobilize is how community as long as people are free to talk, then there is no check against the feeling of being watched on al jazeera. ah
2:15 pm
ah, the watching old, is it a reminder about top stories? this r u. s. president joe biden's in brussels for a special meeting of nato, g 7 and you leaders, they're going to look at ways to push for an end to fighting and strength. europe's security pushes invasion of ukraine's entering a 2nd months, but moscow's forces are said to be facing increased resistance on the ground. thousands of people have been killed and millions have been forced out of their homes in the past 4 weeks. gunfire has been heard early on thursday morning keith, but it was an unusually quiet night for the ukrainian capital has been bombarded in recent days. a shopping mall was reduced to rubble by a rush of your story on monday. while the head of the diplomacy in europe, the un security council has rejected the resolution drafted by russia on the humanitarian crisis and ukraine. it made no reference to moscow's attacks. only
2:16 pm
russia and china voted in favor of the resolution. all 13 members, abstained. kristen silly me reports from the united nations, $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 send to paul who message came as conf contributing to a breakthrough in humanitarian action on the ground and making the aggressive stalk eats 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,
2:17 pm
political and disingenuous. and as the speeches continued brought his own version of a humanitarian resolution to the more powerful security council lucian wiggle. so were 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. rushes resolution was soundly defeated with its only support coming from china. the resolution that we saw today was a cynical effort by russia to exploit the crisis which they have caused their resolution cold for respect finch national humanitarian law that overlooked the fact that they are committing war crimes. south africa sought a compromise. submitting a humanitarian resolution to the general assembly,
2:18 pm
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 you crane and his backers are hoping to show russia's increasing isolation on the international stage . kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations. okay, that's bring you some of the days. other news, north korea appears to have lost its 1st intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017 japan says it food was 71 minutes and landed in the sea off the coast of our morte prefecture is the latest in a series of launches by young young king john promised to stop tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles. had talks with former
2:19 pm
u. s. president donald trump in 2018. john granite is the head of asia pacific news at james defense intelligence. he says pyongyang has been building towards his lunch for months. north korea has launched a series around 11 or 12 missile launches since the beginning of january, and i think there's a few factors here. first of all, it's clear that the joe biden administration is not willing to enter any negotiations with north korea. unlike president trump, and that's kind of antagonizing peeling young soap, young young is responding in the, in the way that it knows how, which is to cause instability across the endo pacific and launch the series of missile tests. and throughout the year, in 2022, we've seen a range of different kinds of myself, short range, missiles, intermediate range, missiles, some cruise missiles. this is the 1st icbm,
2:20 pm
and this was hinted that in january when, when those korea kind of indicated that it would go back or do you turn on its promise to not develop? i see pm's and we see that you turn as a direct response to an talk what it's what a proceeds is, and antagonism from the us. the us introduce, thanks more sanctions on north korea in january. the biden administration is certainly not so in any willingness to negotiate with north korea, on the side, on the sanctions that is imposed on north korea political leaders in the us. so paying tribute to its 1st female secretary of state, madeleine albright, she died at the age of $84.00. as one joe biden said she turned the tide of history is ordered flags to be flown at half lost in her honor. moslin jordan looks back on life and her career without any mental madeline albright made history. when in 1997
2:21 pm
she became the 1st woman to serve. as u. s. secretary of state discharged the duties of the office, discharge 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 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 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 we have also said that we
2:22 pm
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 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. lubbock 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
2:23 pm
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 a half a 1000000 children, a guy is the price worth it. i think this is 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
2:24 pm
a fictional secretary of state circle. the more than anything, madeline albright will likely be remembered for holding an unvarnished view of the world and willing to confront challenges head on the body of jail because her nationalist figure yvonne cola has been moved to the french ireland following his death in the hospital early of this week cannot have been in a coma after being assaulted by another prisoner. it's act sparked violent protests . we've demonstrated as holding the government responsible for lona was jailed in 1998 for assassinating a regional official. because hack has more from the capital. of course, or he's been up in a prison, away from this island in what people here called the mainland of france in a prison in marcell. it's really the circumstances of his death at really caused public outcry. he was killed inside a prison cell under a french, in, inside a french prison. and that is something that many people here feel it's
2:25 pm
a metaphor of how people feel towards france. they feel like the french authority have very much control over this island. and in his death, it has re ignited this popular nationalist feeling when we saw this spontaneous funeral commemoration. yesterday, when his body arrived, we saw young and old. we saw a grandmother with her grandchild. i spoke to her and i asked her, why were she here with her grandchildren? she said she has hatred in her heart towards not french people, but towards the french states. we've seen protests in the run up to his dad because he was in a coma for 3 weeks. protest ignited by very by young people who are really rig nighted, re igniting this course. it can feeling with people putting corsican of chanting corsican songs, putting court against corsican graffiti on, on french building,

2:27 pm
i mean mohammed was a prominent government critic and rights activists. he was 34 years old, the member of the last 2 parliaments in the political opposition. she always said she was dedicated to ending somali as conflicts. most tamales don't get to vote in the election process plan representatives, cheese members of parliament, members of parliament will get to to the next president. this is the latest act of violence in attend political process is meant to n next month, but it's already been delayed by more than a year terms and makes up more than 30 percent of cambodia as gloss domestic product. a pandemic shut down. so i've had a devastating impact. tony chain travels to temples that angle what the kingdoms most famous attraction to find out more tourists emerge from the ruins of thing. meliss visitors slowly returned to the temples of ankle, cambodia, 12 century temple complex is the largest religious sight in the world. and one of
2:28 pm
the most visiting nearly 3000000 people used to come here every year. but that'll change the 2020. 0, golly mancha we'd known before covered people with disabilities could earn a living and support their children. but during the pandemic, to be honest, we can earn enough. there are a lot of shortages and we cannot support our families. and i love money and many other associated businesses remain closed shops, restaurants, and hotels. the ticket holes to access the temples is still empty. despite most travel restrictions now being lifted. even agriculture, the provinces, other income provider has been hit as workers return to their homes. no longer kind of took over, not one, clung in the transition period. the coverage 19 pandemic was so severe that some neighborhoods were closed. and i think more than 500 to 600 institutions shut down . now the some relief and 30 percent of the hotels have reopened out of your choice
2:29 pm
. but the curb at 19 closure has had some benefits. the temple complex which has been exploited for its commercial value has in part recovered some of its spiritual roots. and although foreign tourists are slow to return, cambodians a coming in their droves, even the ancient monuments themselves are getting a facelift. at what amine they had job the town i'll go with during the 2 year absence of tourists while covered, spread the temples benefited from preservation work and allowed us to do conservation, which required the use of machinery. and we could close the sites that needed to be fixed. got a gentle baffled air without bus loads, a tourist. some of the ankles mystery has returned. one of the most amazing things about visiting the anchor walk temple complex, is to walk through the ruins almost as if you are the very 1st person to discover them in the jungle. that in recent years,
