middle east, and he skillfully knocked down 3 key is up to about filling up roman, connecting the world, connecting the future. while the cato gatos gateway to whoa trade, ah, nato announces new battle groups for its east in flank as they looked to prevent ukraine war spreading into europe. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up fighter jets tanks and anti ship weapons ukraine's president appeals to night or latest for more military aids. keep says it struck russian

occupied port facilities in the as of c, c. c of 30 yanks. and also coming at north korea launch is an intercontinental ballistic missile. for the 1st time in 40 nato has agreed to establish for new battle groups in slovakia, romania, bulgaria, and hungry as it seeks to prevent the ukrainian war spreading into europe earlier. you crimes, president the letter means the landscape criticize nature leaders for not doing enough to help. it's been one month since russia invited ukraine and world late as a meeting in person to try and find a way out of the classes. nato g 7, an e u summit of being held in brussels. us president joe biden is among those attending, but back in ukraine cities continue to be pummeled. troops are holding off russian advances around the capital cave,

but there's widespread destruction across several other regions. among them is the southern port city of merrier poll. when more than 100000 people remain tracked. that's bringing out people magic and this is james base who's in brussels, where nate, her heads of state have been meeting hello there. james is been promises of more military support from nature. but will that be enough for you crime? i don't think so. what we have had here is a real show of unity and remember nato. how surprised many we've done so far, it certainly increased its presence in those nato partners that are close to the east and nato nations providing a great deal of support to ukraine. as we all know from our lives of the last 2 years. you can't get everything done on the zoom coal, and that's why it's important. there are 3 big in person summits. the g 7 is meeting now looking at more of the financial aspects of this that's taking place

here in the nato building. then we're going to have a meeting at the you, which a little more sanctions and trying to push some of those european countries that are a bit reluctant to move further on sanctions. what's happened though, 1st is the meeting on nato, and on the military side of that and an impassioned plea from president lens ski. and he gave a specific list of things that his country wanted. i put that list to nato secretary general presidents zalinski when he addressed you recall the fact he 1st spoke to a month ago and he says he didn't get clear answers. so this time he asked you specifically for one percent of all your tanks, for one percent of all your aircraft, for multi launch rockets, systems, anti ship weapons, and means of air defense. a very specific list. what is your clear answer? we all listened very carefully to present that and scan the men of the leaders in

the room. ha ha ha. to contact with him over these weeks also spoke with him under under the plan in defense, mins participates in our the fence man. is there only thing last week and we listened carefully on, of course we took not on his but it, compassionate message to all an 8th or allies. nato allies provide significant support to ukraine. on the we provide all saw little weapons advanced systems and also systems that helped them to shoot down planes and her attacked a battle tanks with anti thank it. weapons and many other types over of systems including drums. i'm sure president zalinski would have liked specific yes . or no answers to each of those requests that he made, but he didn't get them. so potentially you can say that was again, not a clear answer from mr. salt and berg,

who is being extended in his job. he is going to stay on the nato seconds, generally is gonna, and later this year, he, because of this crisis, is staying on in the job as nato secretary general for another year. okay, thank you very much. james. banks live for us in brussels. he claim says it's struck ration occupied for port facilities in the as of the city of bird yanked it caused a large fire and destroyed a russian ship. the port is a major logistics hub for moscow's force or russia has not confirmed the attack. let spring ins, devanie decker, whose live sorry, we've just got some confusion. hackney in the control room, we're going to head to stephanie deca now is in the port city of odessa, sorry about that. stephanie ukrainians have been planning to have attacked that russian ship. is that a sign of a broader push back by keith?

what i think is this war is very much on a day by day step by step basis. this is the 1st time but that ukrainians are saying that they have hit and destroyed a major russian ship. it's the orse. it's a landing vessel. as you mentioned, there in the port city of bird yonce, according to the ukrainian military to other vessels were damaged and also a fuel tank around $3000.00 tons of fuel was hit, which is also why you see these in the, in the picture as a great fireball, a you mentioned bird danced hugely strategic. it is a port in between crimea, which is of course, russian held and married paul of via the devastatingly besieged city that has been besieged by russian forces. really, pretty much in the start of this war. the russians use that port a bridge dance as a re supply line for their troops. so yes, of course, it's seen as a, as

a victory if you will. but of course, is, is very much an ongoing conflict back and forth. but yes, for the 1st time, the ukrainian military saying that it's managed to hit what is a major vessel of the russian fleet. and you're in a des says, stephanie, which has mostly escaped the intensity of the fighting. so what's life like for people there? are they preparing for what could be a russian attack? esl speaking of port cities, this is the port city. this is ukraine's biggest port. this is also very much a place, a city that russia one since part of the strategy when they have been moving along that southern coast. everyone will tell you that this is the main prize are when you asked me, how are people preparing? well, we're now officially today a month into this conflict of the city is heavily fortified, very sensitive. militarily, we're not allowed to build any checkpoints,

any of the. the defenses are, if you will, then you of course have had many, many people, ordinary civilians joining what's called the territorial army, really providing back up to the military. and then we spend the morning with civilians who are non joining the territorial army, but who simply want to feel like they have a little bit more of defenses in their hands, in the sense of when it comes to operating weapons, we spoke to one man and he described himself as a seaman, he said, i've never operated a weapon. i don't want to operate a weapon. i'm still not ready to do so, but i feel like i have to, there was another woman. she was a lawyer. she actually, when i watched her practice with the instructor, she seemed to know exactly what she was doing and i oscar is this. this is not your 1st time she's it is, it's actually my 7th lesson. i never thought i would be using a weapon. my hobbies are much more peaceful. she told me that she dances tango, but it's such an extraordinary thing here. will you see all these people now coming together from works of life and saying if we have to have a weapon,

if we have to fight and have been aft, if it has to come down to this, we will do so. and the feeling is that it will at some point, come down to that and it's been a month now that they're waiting. you said it has been spared. yes, it has. but we're constantly hearing sounds of shelling the air defense systems here, often in use air sirens going off every day in this morning. the military here confirming that russian ships fired at the coast of odessa 5 projectiles. but they said that they didn't hit their target. so i think low level conflict and people here a say that it has intensified in the last couple of days. of course, the concern is that odessa will be next. okay, thank you very much for that update. stephanie deca live for us in odessa. let's head back to brussels now and go to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could, who's been following developments. the u. s. president is there, and he certainly has a jam packed to wake. kimberly, what is he hoping to achieve?

at will the u. s. president is expected here at the european council after he wraps up those meetings at nato and at the g 7. well initially the depaula matic meetings have been really sort of focused on military security deterrence, not just for this ukraine conflict, but also the future to deter russia moving forward. now things are sort of moving towards the financial aspect and sort of those punitive measures that the united states as partners and allies can take towards russia to not only disable the war machine and stop the conflict, but ensure that rushes incapable of any sort of invasion of any other country beyond who created the future. so that's what we are expecting from the u. s. present terms of what he was to achieve. we know that the u. s. president set to announce new sanctions against hundreds of parliamentarians in the lower house of the duma, as well as oligarchy, in addition to sanctions,

already announced by the united states. and then we also expect that there will be a humanitarian package about $1000000000.00 that will be unveiled as well. and this is, in addition to money's already announced by the united states for immediate needs for those millions of refugees leaving ukraine food, shelter, medicine, that clean drinking water. and then we know is, well, there is going to be bit of a discussion about how to deal with the ripple effects of what is likely to be the absence of the contribution of farmers from ukraine who are currently fighting right now and not contributing to the world's food supply, there is an expected shortage and an addition to food insecurity in areas, potentially they're already vulnerable at africa in the middle east. and so there's going to be a discussion about how to mitigate that moving forward. and we do expect as well.

finally, there will be a discussion among the u. s. president and his partners with regard to the concerns about human rights and specifically, war crimes is of course the u. s. president making headlines last week as he called vladimir putin, a war criminal for, allegedly deliberately targeting civilians in ukraine. and so as a result, the u. s. will be announcing $320000000.00. don't only defend human rights, but also to document war crimes in ukraine. so that's what we're watching for. as the u. s. president wraps up his meeting at the g 7. it. nato moves over here to the european council for the 3rd in a series of very high level diplomatic meetings, emergency meetings, we should point out as a result of the russian invasion of ukraine. a huge agenda. thank you very much. kimberly how could live for us in brussels. ukraine meanwhile, is accusing russia of forcibly deporting thousands of people from mary,

a pole to russia. the ukrainian parliament says moscow is const confiscating passports and ideas of people who remain trapped in the port city. if his people are being moved to so called filtration camps before being sent to other russian cities, lodge pots and mary pole have been destroyed in a rush and strikes. and further ration strikes have killed at least 6 people in your crime. second largest city can cave that's according to regional officials, ukrainian forces offending off russian troops. but hospitals a fool of those wounded aside bank has the latest on the fighting. they are shutting has been going on just behind us for about 2 hours or so. the phone coming from that side and confused, landing the smoke is rising up. i still going on. we can go any further because it's not safe. and from what we are being told is that people will kinda

maintain a shell lead to close by. and tell us 4 people have died and many injured . again, we don't know what the russians are aiming at. we don't know what exactly they're hitting, but we have heard that the people that care q for financial aid has been there is this residential area there hanging residential. you can see the can see the has is and can see the smoke rising. and even as we speak and you could hear return fire from the ukrainians. but for the large part of it, there's been shelved coming in from where the russians are based into do. you can to the city hall give the 2nd largest city and smoke rising up, even as you can see, people people seem from the area dropping will ever belongings that they can just leave it because it's just not safe. and this road behind me seems to run in between where the russians are and what they're aimed at. still head on al jazeera,

the search continues. authorities in china hunt for a 2nd black box in the hope of discovering why a passenger plane crash plaza called the com on the french island of corsica as the body of nationalists later yvonne colona attend. ah hey there, good to see. thanks for joining in this weather report. we'll focus on asia and we're looking around the bay of bengal. we've got some showers for bangladesh, though i think the echo will stay dry, but there is the risk. you could see some showers or thunder downpours, better chance of seen that at least in india will be go karnataka into careless state through longer. and the maldives is fault, but i want to get you right to the northwest of india. we've got high temperatures

here, a for now, new delhi, 35 on friday, but i think you're going to join the 40 degree club next week and look at this pretty close to a record temperature for march. and there are no signs that this heat is letting go off to southeast asia. some sunny spells across sumatra, rain and stormy weather to be expected, right across java. and our next stop is china and the rain is really filling in here for central and eastern areas. keep in mind the dark of the color on this map, the more intense the rain will be falling and this is going to slide into the korean peninsula. so we'll see more clouds drift in on friday, followed by those showers, but got a southerly float here. so sol 19 that's fall above average and top to bottom rate across japan. we've got wall to wall sunshine, pleasant conditions. 18 degrees in tokyo, but are still in osaka with the high of 21 degrees on friday. that trip that ah,

been dealing with the surgeon, you come in since the start of the war. many more institutions and businesses are planning to make the same move west, like this hospital most say eventually they'll move back east again, just when no one can tell. back in the maternity unit to mich alive, tamara has given birth to a baby. daughter is ridiculous and i hope i will shield and won't see this crazy scene. and everson will be good. there is no other way, a few minutes old and delivered into a world her mother could not have imagined just a few weeks ago. melinda, rob mcbride, al jazeera of eve. the head of the international committee of the red cross says it's difficult to get to people caught up in the fighting in ukraine. pay to morrow was speaking in a news conference with russia, foreign minister leverage in moscow. mario paul is an it is

a city which has high visibility and attention from the international community. but i also want to highlight that it is not the only place of concern. and i see or see, is trying to make efforts to see the whole frontline and challenges and to have access cindy evacuation modalities agreed upon by the parties. we have always highlighted. it's not possible to think about access or a vacuum ation, either in mario paul or another place. if we don't have solid agreement and detailed agreement between the militaries on the ground, then it's smith has been following developments from the capital. peter mora says he's in moscow because one of the red crosses major roles in a, in any conflict situation, is to seek access to deep detainees, prisoners of war,

people not involved in the fighting any more to make sure that they receive humane treatment are held in a good conditions and to make sure that it's easy or to facilitate the repatriation . all the bodies of both of people killed in the fighting military and civilian now had already been in ukraine asking them for this. and now is in russia. you heard sir gay lover? of saying he wasn't very rely and really couldn't really rely on the ukrainians to keep their side of the bargain. but he said that he was willing to facilitate the red cross wanting. the red cross of said they want to do is open a big distribution center in ra. stop on don. this a big russian city, not far from the border with ukraine. and they want to use our center to distribute humanitarian aid a logistics center to do district humanitarian aid into ukraine. no specific response from lover of on that question. and a, be interesting to see whether the russians decide that they,

they will allow the i c, r to have a big presence there to other world news now, in north korea has carried out what neighboring state say is its 1st launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017, it's been criticized by the governments of south korea and japan as victoria gate and be reports. an emergency meeting of south korea is national security council. held hours after pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. o i c b n. it's the 1st such missile test a more than 4 years. tom groan for coney, the government urges north korea to immediately stop actions that raise tensions on the korean peninsula and cause regional instability and return to diplomatic solutions as soon as possible. or people who previous icbm launched by north korea, have been tipped with super large heavy warheads capable of striking the united states. japan says this latest has shows north korea,

as technology has advanced egypt and not dutch, off in, nor alcorder, based on the fact that the missile this time flew higher than an altitude of 6000 kilometers. and much higher than the launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile. waste on 15 november of 2017. we think the launch this time involves a new model of an icbm class messiah capacity. for years, attempts to dismantle north korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs have failed. in 2018, the leaders of south or north korea signed an agreement outlining steps to de nuclei as the peninsula. but tensions persist. a year later, donald trump became the 1st city u. s. president, to set foot inside north korea and met its leader kim jong, earn their meetings were historic, but fail to produce a result. north korea has continued to launch short range, ballistic missiles, struggle facing an economic crisis because of international sanctions in the pandemic. and let's say the show of military muscle may be intended as

a morale boost at home and to show the world it's a force to be reckoned with. it's clear that the joe biden administration is not willing to enter any negotiations with north korea on like president trump, and that's kind of antagonizing pyongyang. so pyongyang is responding in the, in the way that it knows how, which is to cause instability across the indo pacific and are launched the series of missile tests. ah, south korea responded by also firing missiles. it said it wanted to demonstrate its strength and ability to punish victoria gate and be al jazeera recovery cruise in china as searching for a 2nd flight recorder from a china east in airline of it crashed on monday. katrina, you has more from begging recovery crews are working through wet weather to find the 2nd black box of flight. any you 5735 which crashed in quote. she provence on
