him of pandemic sauce. what the world can learn from the global h i. v. epidemic in the fight against cold at 19 emanuel micron is expected to be re elected as president. that what will the 2nd term mean for france and the you? april on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm sorry, i'm no mozy. welcome to the news our live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. wildly does condemn rushes invasion of ukraine labeling. it's the gravest threat to regional security and decades. as the wall marks in month of fighting, at least 6 people have died in the latest attack on har keith. while ukraine says it struck a russian ship in the sea of oz of a city burned him,

besieged those left traps. mario full q for desperately needed aid. or the top story this, our north korea launch is what's believe to be its largest ever intercontinental ballistic missile. south korea responds with a show of force of its own and on the feminine dough, with your schools, a huge noise of wolf co flails in europe. in wales, stoffel jerifer produces an absolute stunner to be home. so i believe against austria. ah, a come to the news out. it's been a month since russia invaded ukraine. leaders of nato, the european union, and the group of 7 nations mock the dates by meeting in brussels on thursday and condemning russia's actions. the 30 nato ally said russia's aggression against

ukraine was the gravest threats to euro, atlantic, security, and decades. the g 7 descried rushes movers unjustifiable on promote and illegal, and warned against the use of chemical biological and nuclear weapons in the country. meanwhile, you as president announced additional sanctions against russia. poon was blanking on made, obeys, split my earlier conversation with the new sunburn early january. was clear to me, he think we could sustain this cohesion. nato has never, never been more united than it is today. prudent is getting exactly the opposite, what he intended to have as a consequence of going into ukraine. we built that same unity with our european in the european union, and with a leading democracies of the g 7. well, it has correspond, kimberly alcohol in following all these developments from brussels festival kennedy . what did president biden have to say about the possibility of chemical weapons

being deployed in ukraine? well, this is something that the u. s. has been alleging that russia is preparing to do inside ukraine, not just from the white house, but also the state department. the defense department has been suggesting it repeatedly that we've been hearing this accusation, but there has been no evidence. and as a result, once again, u. s. reporters questioned the u. s. president about this, what evidence is there to back up this allegation that there is this possibility of chemical or biological weapons possibly being used by the russians against the ukrainians? and there was none offered and the reason is a sensitive is given the fact that back in 2003, prior to the invasion of a rock by the united states, the united states made a very similar claim that saddam hussein than the leader of iraq was preparing to use weapons of mass destruction only later to find out that the intelligence was

completely made up. and that's why there is a lot of serious skepticism about this. a lot of questioning to which the u. s. president simply says he can't speak to the intelligence, so this is certainly not sitting well with the u. s. public, and certainly not sitting well with report is the continue to press for the intelligence which the united states simply will not provide. the only thing the u . s. president would say is that if chemical or biological weapons were to be used by russia and ukraine, and that not only the united states but is partners that allies would respond in kind. so what was the, what was present biden's mission and his trip that brussels today? what did, what does he want to achieve? well, the use president from the beginning has wanted to make sure that there is unity among the nato partners and allies. this is a foundation of his foreign policy. this is something that he has coordinated since

prior to the russian invasion, and he really believes in this face to face diplomacy. so this series of meetings that have been held today in brussels, 3 of them started with nato, them the g 7. now finishing up here the european council, these are all to try and keep that cohesion in unity together and really pushed back on what they say is russian aggression. now, to that end, their number of things that have been discussed. security of course, is a big part of it, making sure that there is that deterrence posture, not just to deal with ukraine, but also in the future. given the fact that russia they say, is now more bold, more aggressive. and they've see this in the foreseeable future. but also dealing with the humanitarian crisis that exists right now. the u. s. president making headlines saying that he is going to likely travel to poland on friday, possibly even visiting one of the refugee camps. he is not disclosed to precise

location for security reasons, but this certainly was not in his schedule, a bit of a surprise. but the u. s. president saying that he believes there's an obligation to really for the international community to be engaged, this humanitarian crisis. and to ease the suffering and pain, he feels as the world's the leader of the free world, that he really has to set an example there. so the u. s. president already heading to pull him for meeting on saturday with the polish president duda. now we know going to see some of the crisis 1st hand those millions that are flying ukraine as a result of latimer pollutants invasion of ukraine. all right, thank you. kimberly hawk, it's falling developments that are in brussels. donald jensen is the director for rush in europe at the u. s. institute of peace joins us live from alexandra virginia by skype as well. can i ask you how russian president let him a cushion might have viewed this meeting in brussels today with alarm. unfortunately, he probably would see it as threatening. it's not really, it's

a response to russian aggression. but i think we've seen no sign really, that food is willing to really barton seriously at the table is likely to see all this as a way to play that was base at home to justify his actions in ukraine. they're not justifiable, of course, but present by the other western leaders really have no alternative given the, the high stakes game that, that, that person is playing. when you're trying to chemical weapons, you're talking about a weapon of mass destruction, and i think it's pretty clear the russian have those stocks. it's really their intention that we're debating right now. how to western countries continue to exert pressure on, on my team uprooting. if we have already seen the limitations of the response so far, well, i think the response remains in 3 different ways. one to address the humanity, tearing tragedy to,

to keep the alliance united and forceful and pushing back on the kremlin. and they've done that. and 3rd is to help the ukrainians directly with more arms, with more economic support and the like. and i think the question now is not really doing new things is keeping up the support, keeping up the supply of weapons to the brain as they hold off rational rush. so while we saw a little bit of expansion of the thanks today, really, the important thing is that a alliance heat be hot unified and keep providing ukraine with the means to defend itself. but i suppose there isn't going to be it. they've made it clear that there isn't going to be a no fly zone because of the risks that would involve sanctions, haven't proved to be any sort of deterrent against military action or the escalation of the conflict and russian present his while aware that the west pick the european countries very much rely on russian energy. well, they do, they do sanction or now no longer to turn. it failed in doing that. what they are

now is punishment and they are now and that pressure on rushes economy may well lead them to go. the next weeks, months to the bargaining table, you correctly highlight the issue of energy and as impressive as this show of alliance, unity has been. there are some dissident notes, different from germany, and to some extent, italy about this issue a purchasing energy form from, from russia. i think you're going to say, continued impressive unity. however, cracks like this or with paying attention to cracks, like this on energy will not dissuade or hinder alliance, unity on the big stuff. but it will make some very interesting conversations within the navy. and it may also result in some adjustments to whatever we're doing to push back. so again, i would not exaggerate the differences at this this point because there's

a present said we are we, the west, the united states navy are been, i've been, are about as unified as we've been to see under the cold war. and that is not an easy task to achieve, depends on the goodwill of all the countries and in europe and all of a lack of community. and that's not easy. and we ought to be a, i think, impressed with what the west has done so far response to the prices apart from the reliance on russian gas and oil. where do you see where perhaps might the kremlin see vulnerabilities in that? in the units in the, in that unity well, i think, i think the kremlin can do a number of things that are in the gray area. it's not going to attack poland most likely, unless it's an accident. but it will do things that, that play to different constituent cheese in the nato alliance. the polls are by reputation and policy, very, very tough,

very strong in support of ukraine. some of the other countries support ukraine, but have other issues, life energy in germany. and there are other issues on the trans atlantic agenda, i think the pra couldn't will, and he is very conscious of those different emphasis. that's something we ought to look for in the coming weeks as we see how he plays against it as a stack of cards. frankly, that is pretty strongly at the moment, arrayed against him. but you have spent a great deal of time in russia and i believe you live there during the collapse of the soviet union. what could this war eventually mean the president, putin, in your he well, well the answer i think, comes in a couple of parts. number one, we have, we are now witnessing the end of the who turn system a ruling russia. this is the beginning of the end, the sanctions rounding up of the illegal assets of the oligarchs, the isolation of the russia from

a great part of the international community. this is now, these are things that he played on the plate on the disagreements within the alliance. we are now seeing the end of back. but here we have to be very careful. there's really no sign of overt opposition to putting it all. there is unease about the war there are demonstrations and so forth. but the overwhelming proportion of the russian people, 60 or 70 percent support this operation is the russians call it. so i think we're going to expect or look for an 1991, type 2 against a rush. so good been leader. and now i think we're going to be disappointed. what we're going to see probably is the gradual grinding down of the russian economy, which will put pressure on the kremlin to ease its war effort. and that's not a very satisfying outcome, i think. but for now, i think it's the most like thank you very much, don johnson, for joining his staff from alexander virginia. thank you. well,

is diplomatic efforts continue in brussels more cities and towns in ukraine have been facing attack president roger ms. lansky says there's a real threat that moscow will use chemical weapons as the war. drag on famous rob reports now from the west. and if you have leave. one months in russia's invasion, ukrainian forces are fighting back and gaining some ground on thursday, ukraine's ministry of defense said it's sank a russian worship in the as off. see near bird yes in the south. but also in the south, the people of maria poll struggled to cope with a devastation left behind by rushes bombing campaign. continuing to take stock of the destruction of their city. the worst hit so far with some are managing to trickle out is me. and help is beginning to trickle in well,

it shows the whole thing with even hulu, darren 8 already the more as some bread depots for the kids. we've received an oatmeal bulletin baby, and we just found out that they are handing out 8 and came here. you dont always know and when you come, it's too late. firefighters in the town of vessel keith near the capital, spent the day trying to put out a warehouse fire caused by showing the victims have yet to be identified. the city of churn a he of ne of cave, like so many places, one month after the start of this war is unrecognizable, said morgan, it breaks my heart harsh of all you grants and every free person on the planet. that's why i ask you to stand against the war. come from your offices, your homes, your schools. and you know us does come in the name of peace,

come with ukrainian symbols to support ukraine, to support freedom, to support life. come to your squares, your street, make yourselves winnable, and cured and appeal from ukraine's president, a global call to mobilize to stop the war. levine, the city levine, the region t to ukraine's war effort as a corridor for military assistance from allies in the west. and as a place to help people ra mine your law, that would have been as a consumer we need award to be. oh were you i'm to go back home with today is my child's birthday and we are here. she is 10 years old. we really want to go home, let there jessica live. you know that feeling when the are charlies begging you, please father, save me when i haven't to leave and live like that for 2 weeks. he decided to leave by ourselves. nobody could help us. nobody could reach us and help us to recreate

because all the time airplanes were flying over our heads. it was bears cameras, any stunning volota mir zalinski is war time. leadership has helped his popularity, but will it hold if the war goes on and ukrainians continue to pay the highest price to defend their country. zane basra, v o g 0 livi o. elsewhere there's been more shelling on the frontline said have high keys which lies just 25 kilometers from the russian border. 6 people were killed there and 15 wounded when russian artillery hit the road in front of a postal center where people were thought to be killing for humanitarian aid. as a bank has more from har keith, 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 there. the shelling was on going now what you hear is a loud bang from one side of the city than you here are a 3rd when that makes in 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's a residential area. 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. now the developments that of the international committee of the red cross, as it is difficult to get a to people caught up in the fighting in ukraine. please morrow is speaking in a news conference with russia's pharmacy, sag oliver av in the russian capital laska. but it's smith has more on this o p. tomorrow's just spent 5 days in ukraine. so he comes to moscow after that trip was one of the main jobs of the i. c. r c's to make sure in times of conflict that the rules of the geneva convention are observed, which means humane treatment of prisoners of war. it means you humane treatments of non combatants 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 p, tamara 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 peter mar also says he's asked the russians for permission to build a large distribution. all logistic center and roster on dorm has a big russian city near the border with ukraine. he wants to do that to be able to deliver aid into ukraine, 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. is much more glad for you on this news out from london. these people have never held a weapon before. they are civilians that are going to be joining the fight,

but they want to know how to if it comes to that, i'm stephanie decker in the vital port city of death. thought we'll have that story coming up. also following other stories this hour, the french island of corsica is on maximum, riah taylor is the party of a national leader is returned home. ah, the ukrainian military saying several rockets will fly towards odessa on thursday, but they will miss that targets. city is ukraine's largest and most strategic c port. it's been preparing for an all out attack for weeks. anticipation as local residents taking matters into their own hands. as daphne decker reports, ah, we will lay down our souls and bodies for our freedom. the words of the ukrainian national anthem wait much heavier now. no one expected to find themselves here in

an undisclosed location on the outskirts of the city of odessa. oh, so i will always treat the gun as if it were loaded. they had to the basics of how to use the weapon. it's a good supported cars to do this course takes place every day. there are no days of arms. we really don't know how much time we have before a rush, an attack on odessa. so we are trying to use all time that we have to do as much as possible for our people. we don't teach military tactics just how to operate a gun and how to do that safely. these people have never held a weapon before. they're not going to be joining the territorial army or civil defense forces as they're known, but they want to know how to be able to operate a weapon to be able to protect our homes, to protect our city. if it gets to that point for many here, it's not something that comes naturally and never before. if we bonds and no, no,

i am totally not in the up that i have to protect my house. oh, legs, wife and daughter are in romania. now. i cannot explain for my daughter, 6 years saw that she's growing and asking why we can stay together, why we cannot stay now home. and it's really hurt, really hurt. we're taught to do what to do. rosa the cities been shelled, anti aircraft offenses can be heard firing every day. most people here believe it's simply a matter of time before russia turns its full attention to ukraine's largest c port olga, the lawyer. and this is all new for her to have you ever used a weapon before? never, never. are you shelly? i was afraid of for women. you ever imagined that this would be happening? never. no, no, no. i have a very civil live a hobby. i don't stand go. oh yes i,

i don't refused to to fight to something else. no, no, no, it's not for me. i'm just a woman. but now every thorson in ukraine, a woman amen and doesn't matter. we are fight. we need to fight despite fear and anxiety. here. there is strength from all being united were told and, ah, standing together in these, unprecedented and extraordinary times. oh, stephanie decker, al jazeera in odessa, southwestern ukraine. or ukraine is accusing russia of deliberately targeting hospitals and accusations and denied. but it's clear that an increasing number of children are getting caught up in the fighting. rob mcbride reports now from the western city of la vive. in the front line, city of mich alive, the maternity hospital tries to operate as normally as the war will allow. tamara

craft joke is close to giving birth the day before a different part of this hospital was hit by a shell, but nobody was hurt, severe minion. guzzling in over time, every day you get used to it more and more especially when's explosions are somewhere far away. it seems as the eye in another country was in the western city of levin, another clinic, this one, treating children with critical hard conditions. this unit has just been moved from the capital, keith. it's part of a national initiative to relocate essential services and companies away from the fighting in the east to the relative safety of the west. miss beside would you say we are saving, kids have critical heart problem. those who would die without operations. and of course, each child is important. there are hundreds of them, very stressful and was going to live and other towns and cities in the west have

been dealing with the surgeon. you come as 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 ridiculous and i hope i was shield and won't see this crazy scene and everything 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, malinda robert bride al jazeera of eve, article survivor killed in russian shelling and ukraine has been buried. ours roman jenko died last week when his apartment building was struck. 96 year old ukrainian survived 3 different not see ron concentration camps during world war 2. it was also sent to a baltic sea island to work as a force laborer on the v to rocket program. miss moore was not fit to leave high

case. we were able to take him away and he himself was stubbornly refusing to leave . we kept inviting him, kept coming after the bombardment started, brought him food categorically refused to leave, and he would not be able to, he could barely walk when i was there, a correspondent enron con, has had a chance talk to ukraine's deputy prime minister to discuss the latest developments in the country, it began by asking it in a very choke as to humanitarian corey doors were working. lose of our school will proceed. they are working with great difficulty. they are being constantly shelled . fresh ice constantly breaking the deal in the corridors that are opening in reality are being shallow and people don't feel safe, especially when it comes to martin or the world scale. humanitarian catastrophe has been ongoing for more than 3 weeks later. is meeting today? do you feel that nato has let ukraine down know last name?

why we don't have a right to be disappointed. we don't have it right. stop over fight, and we don't have the right for emotions that aren't helpful for our survival in victory over russia. we obviously understand that the forces have not been equal from the start when we talk about russia heading and the amount of problems with russia doesn't have. and what you crane has is the fact that we are on our own land or old people are fighting brothers children or not. for nathan decides or doesn't decide, will be judged, but he's not only were ukrainians, but the way the whole civilized world through the question that is at stake today is if evil, when, if dark winds over watch or perhaps learn, have to leave as a human to remain human, no matter what, would you come over, but what is the current status of the russia ukrainian talks? russia seems to be talking about big picture stuff. demilitarization potential

withdraw later membership. but ukraine is sticking to its guns and saying it's a ceasefire. and his withdrawal from territories, is there any common ground? you see what you did, you should have to nibble or see it was nice. russia wanted to find a solution. he would not have war. russia understands. well, that if you don't have any nazis, because over legislation, strictly conduct massive russia on the sun, well that in the months what will never happen, the count concedes over 3030 for what? or if things for like this, russia, i will repeat again with never a talk. russia doesn't find any talks and is pretending that it is participating in the wrong table. it makes it possible that the talks don't succeed in russia is killing civilians and creating a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine is the goal so that they never find an agreement. it thanks for the opposite. we would have already found an agreement long time ago received his wish with the more than this to and now this your

opinion seem to be taking the lead when it comes to ukraine. but for you is this much more of a global fight. so yeah, which is what this does not or you can shoot my van to address the nations we're listening to as no fortune rather reduced the courtroom strobe. we are fighting for the world we want to leave in the world for those who think that the rules just one to be able to do such things neither to us. north korean p 3 might do grees. my ask is to support the ukraine of support. ukrainian people support us in over fight and believe me, everyone will gain from it, including your leaders in the nation. this will become a guarantee for the safety of all of us. you hold on to be respected. will the united nations general assembly as pass to humanitarian resolution on ukraine, demanding that russia stop the fighting? only 5 nations including russia, opposed that. but as christians looming reports from the un,

dozens of countries also abstained. citing the war is growing tall on civilians in ukraine. the un general assembly demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities from russia called on its troops to withdraw. 140 nations voted for the resolution backed by ukraine and nato allies. though it just shows, again, that when the international communities asked to take a stand, russia is isolated and the appeal to day of the general assembly is directed primarily towards russia. and we just hope that this time they will heed that cold russia was joined by only 4 allies, north korea, bella roost, syria in eritrea in opposing the resolution which also demands an end to the seas. mary paul, but 38 countries, abstained from the vote. among them, china, the asia, neil, it's clear that some of the contents of the draft resolution go beyond the scope of

humanity. some issues are very complex and can only be resolved for political negotiations between the parties. concerned. china favored a resolution submitted by south africa with more moderate language when calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities that didn't single out russia. once war has begun. it is imperative that all of us work to what piece it is for this reason that saw that it as the of the view that right now, we should be more concerned with ending the wall and addressing the humanity and plight of the people that i picked it right, that resolution was submitted, but never put to a vote after ukraine raised procedural objections. these facts has never been a product of consultation. so as ukraine, neither it is a product of cross regional consultation. as was the case was the resolution just adopted by overwhelming majority if these attacks promoted unilaterally by one

country prompted by another country. unlike the security council resolutions and the general assembly are legally non binding, but still symbolically important. even countries who abstained from the vote expressed grave concern at the humanitarian situation for ukrainians. but argued a resolution supported by all countries would be more effective even if the vast majority of countries believe russia is ultimately responsible. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations with the news, our life from london still ahead. on the eve of high expected reelection of prominence, somali opposition politician is killed a man, a suicide bombing will bring that story. and also looking at how the corona virus pandemic is help a largest religious site in the world, returned to its spiritual roots. ah,

actions in ukraine. the 30 nato ally say it's the gravest threat to your atlantic security in decades. while the g 7 warrant against the use of chemical biological and nuclear weapons, ukraine says it sank a russian wash in the sea of oz off, and had occupied port facilities in bud janski's. but it's towns and cities are coming under attack. the city of mario full is under siege and bombardment. woman, 2700 people evacuated from the city on thursday. and also there's been more shelling of the frontline says he of her q, which lies just 25 kilometers from the russian border. 6 people were killed when artillery fire hit the road in front of a postal center, but people were queuing for humanitarian aid. they want to move on to some other stories now and in ethiopia, the government is saying that it will observe a truce with grapples and to grey to allow aid into the water region for you. any saying that more than 90 percent of people that now need food and medicine, but only

a small amount is getting through to grades. leaders blamed central and regional authorities for preventing deliveries. the government says it's the to grind fight, is that a blocking the main route? now a member of parliament is among at least 48 people killed in a suicide bombing in somalia. the attack happened in the central state of how shall most of the capital market issue. police say a full politician was also killed malcolm. what brings us more on this now for a market issue? the 1st suicide attack a destination of bomb just outside the local government headquarters in the city of bela doing, killing several people including 2 candidates. the parliament who is seeking reappointment is small, is ongoing, and much delayed process to select new leaders. just as injured people were being taken from the into the hospital. the car bomb exploded outside the hospital entrance, killing several more than a lot of people died here. the situation is still ongoing and we offer our

condolences to those who have lost their lives. a suicide ca boma and a suicide bomber exploded in 2 different places. the 2 parliamentary candidates were killed as they were bound to attend an election meeting. one of them, i mean i'm a how me to be with a permanent government critic and rights activists. she was 34 years old, the member of the last 2 parliaments in the political opposition. she said she was dedicated to ending somali as conflicts. most tamales don't get to vote in the election process plan representatives. she's members of parliament members of parliament will get to to the next president. this is the latest act of violence in a tense. political process is meant to a next month, but it's already been delayed by more than a year. north korea is launch. what it says is a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile fate. media says it flew for more than a 1000 kilometers, reportedly, to kim jong and saying north korea was preparing for what he called a long confrontation with us imperialism. the south korean and japanese governments

have been calling the launch a clear violation of un security council resolutions. victoria geisha b reports an emergency meeting of south korea. national security council held hours after pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile or icbm. it's the 1st such missile test a more than 4 years from growing to can you 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 each. it is not dutch off in nor alcorder based on the fact that the missile this time flew higher than an
