and reconciliation commission for this former warlord, liberia has become the frontline of a drug war. it to not afford to lose. he says it's a battle he will fight out of responsibility and killed for his past crimes. and for his country. ah, a busy day of diplomacy in brussels, a show of support for ukraine from the u. s. president and other g 7 leaders, fighter jets tanks and anti ship weapons, ukraine, surprises and appeals to nato for more age, as the lines also meets in breasts. ah, i'm fully back to boy, you're watching college. his ear alive from doha, with continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. the city at the center of so much

destruction, another blasting khaki kills at least 6 people. ukraine says it's struck russian occupied port facilities in the city of be a dance and at the united nations, the general assembly, a dorm sir, resolution blaming russia for the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. it is one month since this thought of the war in ukraine, and there is increasing anxiety over what will happen next. you've seen the pictures coming out of their see these destroyed millions of people losing their homes and desperate for a safe place to live. ukraine's president has repeatedly called on won't be there to help against russia's forces or their fears the war could escalate even further . now over in brussels, western leaders have been trying to figure out how to get more support to ukraine and to stop the fighting from spilling over its borders. early at the 1st of 3 summits, nato leaders agreed to beef up the alliances eastern flank and best sells the g 7

countries. and the you are also holding meetings. kimberly, how can i be standing by at sat there? g. 7 meeting in brussels are diplomatic. as again, space is also in brussels. we're start where then, and are talking about me, extraordinary summit of nato. we've heard from the german chancellor. all i've shout just some moments ago. james, talk as to what nato has agreed at in terms of supporting ukraine feather will need a leader here. let me tell you about chancellor schultz 1st because what's just happened is the g 7 summit has broken up and in different parts of this very large building. there are different embassies effectively missions for all the 30 nato nations. so we're seeing different news conferences taking place. i've just seen chancellor schultz give his position on both the nato summit and on the cheese 7, her summit at the g 7 as the year will do a very shortly is focusing very much on those sanctions. chancellor schultz saying

that he wants to see further strength sanctions, stronger sanctions, but i don't think he's going to go as far as the ukrainians want. they would like to see sanctions that target the energy sector. yes, chancellor shalt says one day we're going to stop getting russian oil and gas, but we can't do it straight away so the ukrainians will be disappointed with the sanctions. part of this, the earlier summit you're asking about the nato summit that's dealing with the military aspect of this bolstering the troops that nato has on its eastern flank, making those presences more permanent, but also aid to the ukrainians and again. presidents lensky spoke to the nato summit, and he had a very specific list of things he wanted this reserve response from nato secretary general. when i put that list to him, precedence 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 rocket systems, anti ship weapons, and means of air defense, a very specific list. what is your clear answer? we all listened very carefully through pressed answer and scanned 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 means they are only thing at last week and we listened carefully on, of course we took not to his but it, compassionate message to all nato allies. nato allies provide significant support to ukraine and we provide also 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 tribes over are of systems including drones, working at chemical weapons, biological well, well, that is the comment of the nato secretary general. not the clear answer, perhaps, that president lensky wanted to, the very specific demands that he's made. and so far, what we've really got out of these 1st 2 or 3 summits is a show unity, but nothing particularly new in concrete terms. but that may change because as leaders haven't finished yet, there are long meetings. it's a long day, some ideas, i'm sure a still being pushed back as many of the participants are in or any of these meetings. in fact, at most important participants are attending all of these meetings. and we still haven't heard directly from many of those key players present macro france, we expect to be speaking shortly. and president biden is also due to give her

a news conference. he's going to the you summit as a special guest mizrahi back here to nato, to give a news conference that is due to start 3 hours from now. but i have to tell you things are very seriously delayed. there's a lot of talk going on here and it's taking a lot of time jane space. thank you very much. as james said there why the most important participants n or the 3 meetings is the u. s. president. of course, joe biden last spring. and kimberly hath, how can our white house correspondent so present binding, attending all 3 meetings? kimberly, what is he hoping to achieve? what does the thinks he's hoping to achieve is this continuation of unity that he has been striving for all this time the president from even before the russian invasion of you frame was looking for unity across not just the security realm, but also the diplomatic realm. and he believes that he's achieved that thus far, but it only comes through these types of face to face meetings. so that is something that he wants to continue and admit that the u. s. president wants to

also see the coordination of sanctions, though even further, you heard james touching there on the fact that some european leaders have been reticent to go as far as the united states would like when it comes to some of those sanctions with regard to russian energy because they rely so heavily on russian energy. so the u. s. president will be pushing that if not at the short term, at least in the media of or long term. we also know the u. s. president is going to discuss how this can be contained in the context of these sections. in other words, keeping up the pressure financially. in other words, trying to make sure that the russian financial ability to keep the war machine going is so disabled that the conflict cannot extend beyond ukraine and that it remains there. in other words, essentially the u. s. president wants to see this fizzle out to have lot of reputed

run out of money. so keeping up that momentum. and finally, the u. s. president wants to work with these leaders to make sure that none are working with china or encouraging china instead or calling out china and making sure that china is not in any way, enabling russia to, in some way, evade the sanctions that are place of the was the will put in place moving forward, and what more support is the u. s. prepared to to give ukraine. kimberly got a bit of a list that it has been announcing since the arrival of the u. s. president. not only has there been an announcement of 100000 refugees, you credit refugees that will be received in the united states. but there's been an unveiling of an additional $1000000000.00 in humanitarian aid and announcement of additional sanctions on hundreds of parliamentarians. russian parliamentary is that

is for the russian invasion of ukraine in the lower house of the duma. and we should also point out that there has been additional funding made available to defend human rights. and why is this important? well, that's because there is a need and desire by the united states to make sure that the alleged war crimes committed by vladimir putin. the united states says that he deliberately targeted civilians in his invasion of ukraine. that in fact, this can be documented so that there can be potential prosecutions later on. so this is all part of extensive package of deliverables that the united states is bringing to this series of summits that are taking place here in brussels. kimberly hawkins. thank you very much. kimberly. how can is our white house correspondent? now let's take a look at the situation in ukraine on the ground. this been more shelling in car kids. 6 people were killed and 15 wounded when russian artillery landed in front of a postal center. busy where people were thought to be queuing for humanitarian aid

. i sat big has more on the situation in khaki. the russians had been shelling for about 2 hours and not we understand is that was a residential area. people coming up outside the postal office for humanitarian aid . now a rocket, we understand hit that 6. people are confirmed dead with 15, seriously wounded. now that number could go up. now i can tell you is that was through are there, the shelling was ongoing. now what you hear is a loud bang from one side of the city than you here are a 3rd. when that makes that the impact hits and smoke rising up. and it was a vast area where the russians were hitting. we could see fires and a dark smoke rising on the skyline and we're not sure what exactly they were targeting that a residential area, or the russians are quite far out from there. but that continued. now we try to get as close as possible. there was a road in between where the shelves were flying across. we stopped at one point, but we were advised to pull back. now when we pulled back half an hour later,

the exact position that we were in that we had stopped and were advised to pull back from. not far from there that was hit by a russian shell that just goes to show what the mayor of the city has said that no area of this city is safe. he's advised residence to go to basements, bomb shelters, and the undergrad, because he says that the russians are targeting residential buildings and people's lives and the threat. because people don't know where the russians will hit and when they will hit. all right, let's take you back to brussels now, where the french president emanuel my coin, is holding a news conference after nato and g. 7 meetings on the war in ukraine let is listening. continue via fornia is um defensive. it it does. she's neal says, i'm going to continue to provide some extensive weapons and a little weapons never will have red line with want of course to be efficient, but we do not wish to be co belligerent. this is also the reason why i will not provide you with a movie channels model and put together with the german chancellor and

a number of other european also interested upon the fact that in this context, we shall continue to work on incredible negotiated solution. this 2nd thing out of it is the necessity of preventing elation. this conflict, why nor looked on providing any protect which could be used by russia. close to argue that we provoked deescalate native has made the choice ukraine to put an end to the sport rule without going to war against fresh a strand we lost lee. i decided to adopt our post. sure. i wasn't hands to the news to cheat dixie treyjen perverted by no one your crane and consequences and least respect. i would like to say that france is very much holding his responsibility and lacking in solidarity from north to south the south of the eastern and flunked,

says it's difficult to give a to people caught up in the fighting in ukraine. peter morrow was speaking of a news conference with russia's foreign minister figure lovegrove 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 evacuation either in mario paul or another place if we don't have solid agreement and detailed agreement between the military's on the ground. the previous, the legal bonus because we welcome the willingness of the red cross to use

available resources to help people in need in ukraine, the genetic in the hands peoples republics. and we also know that the red cross traditionally strive to serve as an impartial and independent intermediary within its mandate. unfortunately, we have no particular reason to rely on the faithful fulfillment by the ukrainian authorities of their obligations under international humanitarian law. as bringing bernard smith in moscow for his burden. so tell us more about the concerns of international red cross and how the russians are responding to us. confess or p. tomorrow's just spent 5 days in ukraine. so it comes to moscow after that trip was one of the main jobs of the i, c. c, to make sure in times of conflict, that the rules of the geneva convention are observed, which means you main treatment of prisoners of war. it means you can main treatments of non competence as well. civilians caught up in the conflict and for example, the ability to return the bodies of those killed in combat to their home countries

. now be tomorrow, says he's not actually been given the yet to see any prisoners of war being held by either side in this conflict by the ukrainians or the russians. but he says he hopes they'll get it. they'll get access soon and they'll be able to start large scale visits soon as well. now beat them are also says he's asked the russians for permission to build a large distribution or logistics engine ra, stop on, don't mess a big russian city near the border with ukraine. he wants to do that to be able to deliver aid into crane. no response from the russian. specifically on that question . although survey love, rob did say that he was interested in lifting artificial barriers to resolving humanitarian issues. bennett, thank you very much for that. bernard smith live for his there in moscow. the united nations general assembly has approved

a resolution criticizing russia for the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. christian salumi joins is from un headquarters in new york with more in that christian yes, a 140 countries have voted in favor of a humanitarian resolution on ukraine that was supported by ukraine. calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities on russia's part of the resolution, also a calls for an end to attacks against civilians and an end to the besieged meant of mary of whole. certainly the humanitarian situation in the country is a concern to all of the countries who spoke in the general assembly hall. some 90 of them signed up to speak out, but not all of them actually voted for the resolution. some abstained, 5 voted against russia in its closest allies, no surprise. they are bella roost. countries like syria, north korea,

but some 38 other countries, abstained from the vote, saying that it went to far south africa. in fact, submitted an alternative resolution that didn't name russia in the specifics. it called for a cessation of hostilities without naming russia as the aggressor here, as the other variation did. they said that this was a, in the aim of building consensus, that it would be more effective if all of the countries were able to sign on. i and politics were not a part of the resolution. china, in fact, spoke out in support of the south african draft and abstained from the vote as wow, listen to what they said. oh, these are new sheets clear that some of the contents of the draft resolution go beyond the scope of humanity. some issues are very complex, can only be resolved through political negotiations between the parties concerned. the draft resolution proposed by south africa focuses on humanitarian issues and

addresses in many important aspects of the current situation in ukraine. while emphasizing that, the cessation of hostilities is a crucial step towards improving the humanitarian situation. we believe that under the current conflict and circumstances, the south african draft resolution is more conducive to promoting unity of you and member states. and to further opening the door to dialogue and negotiation and a political solution one. so $140.00 country is suggest that the majority of a nation's here at the un do believe that russia is the aggressor here. it's specifically called on them to stop geron oil. assembly resolutions are not binding . however, this i has the power of persuasion, perhaps, but not the power of international law, which again is why countries like south africa, we're arguing that it would be better to have something more generically worded that all countries would get behind chris in thank you very much, for that, chris, since know me live at the united nations are let's now take to the days are

the big news story and north korea has carried out what neighboring said say is its 1st launch of an intercontinental ballistic miss on since 2017. it's been criticized by the government, so south korea and japan, the tory gates be reports. an emergency meeting of south korea's national security council held out up to pyongyang, launched an intercontinental ballistic missile will icbm. it's the 1st such missile test a more than 4 years to learn. for coney, the government urges north korea to immediately stop actions that raise tensions on the korean peninsula and cause regional instability and returned to diplomatic solutions as soon as possible. people who previous icbm launched by new career have been tipped with super large heavy warheads capable of striking the united states. japan says this latest here shows north korea's technology has

advanced. it didn't 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 massage 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 di nucleotide 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 failed to produce the result. north korea has continued to launch short range ballistic missiles, 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 um, enter any negotiations with north korea on like president trump. ah, and that's kind of antagonizing pyongyang, so young young 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 cause in china, searching for a 2nd flight recorder from china. eastern airline at at crashed on monday katrina, you have more from aging. recovery crews are working through wet weather to find the 2nd black box of flight. and you 5735. which crashed in. won't she? provence?
