the search continues not for life, but for the dead. bombs ripped through the hockey administration building on march 1st, leaving only debrief, twisted metal, and dust. one bomb came through the roof, others fell outside, gets crater and destruction for all to see with a bottom for that. i'm sure the so if we catch to workers on break, what they tell us of the last few days they found 4 bodies. net in day after day, they returned to me at the la maya, this garage telco systemic to coca live sta. yesterday. i think many here face such a large number of victims among civilians for the 1st time. as they say, one death is a tragedy, but a 1000 deaths are statistic. unfortunately,

it's the truth of the citizens thirty's ticket. there under constant threat of further strikes residential fruitful, you know, it's interest of we don't have time for feelings now we put them aside, but we'll have to deal with them later. not. it's not an easy process. right now we have work to do. we focus on it, this was the kitchen to the cafe next door. everything has been destroyed and called cafe pictures on the walls. but there's one thing that does stand out and is quite striking. you can smell the fact that there's still dead bodies. there's remains still here. we're standing on 5th floor here. almost more still faucet was military guys. just we just

received, we been, we met jania in the ruins of the building. it was like he had just finished his morning briefing, gwen and bought a t. m 1st stroke, it came and hits near this building. all windows were a crest 1st injurious and 10 minutes later i was, i went darlin on such floor and 2nd, rockets attacks this building right there. and everybody who was standing on each floor on that's on the corner and everybody died so far he hasn't been face to face with his enemy, this war, which in his wars world rocket. first of all, and most of our victims all sleep sealant knew the victims are. mm hm. so they, it's, it's, so the symptoms is because of rockets of bomb been of air attacks are

here at tech or, or rocket. thank you. just like it's like a lottery is like because in all in all you can we not you can lose on the life my guys for my, for, for my team the alive because real life, all the while the search continues a month into this war. the still pulling i body on a daily basis and work of her have told us that that room toss will continue until the been through the entire building. and slowly the body characterizes rescue workers provide whatever dignity they can to their fallen countrymen. i said bake. i'll just see her keith w jensen is the director for russia in europe at the us institute for peace. he says sanctions wouldn't stop moscow from escalating the conflict with sanctions or now no longer deterrence. they 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. as impressive as this show of alliance, unity has been there are some different notes, but 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 are worth 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 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, i think, impressed with what the west has done so far. response to the prices. well, still had hail on al jazeera, the french island of coal scurries on the riot alert after the body of its nationalist leda is returned home. your she her and i know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat and hoping to make history the confirmation hearing for the 1st black woman nominated to the u. s. supreme court wraps up ah the hello. they will start in north america, and

ah, welcome back to al jazeera with me. so robert, reminder of all top news stories. nato allies say the war in ukraine is the greatest threat to security. in decades, the leaders of the military alliance, the european union, and the group of 7 nations of a meeting in brussels. they warned moscow against using chemical and nuclear weapons that have been more showings in the ukraine. the 2nd larger cities are keith, 6 people were killed. and 15 wounded when artillery fire hit the road in front of a postal center where people will believe be queuing for humanitarian aid. not the head of the international committee of the red cross says it's difficult to get aid to people caught up in the fighting in ukraine. peter mara met russia's foreign minister. psyche, love roth. 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 and the 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 militaries on the ground, you may previous the legal bonus to cross. 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. the general assembly has passed to humanitarian resolution on ukraine, demanding russia stop the fighting. only 5 nations including russia opposed it. but as christian salumi reports from the un, dozens of countries abstained. schoolchildren, 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 community is 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 shanina, 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 favor to 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 peace it is for this reason that south africa 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 by it. that resolution was submitted,

but never put to a vote after ukraine raised procedural objections. these facts has never been a product of consultations with ukraine, neither it is a product of cross regional consultation. as was the case was the resolution just adopted by overwhelming majority. it is 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. let's bring you some of these other news now on the u. s. and south korea have agreed to deliver

a firm response after north korea tested is largest ever intercontinental ballistic missile. japan says the missile flew for 71 minutes and landed in the sea off the coast of amori pref prefecture, between a gate and because for an emergency meeting of south korea is national security council. held hours after pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, or icbm. it's the 1st such missile test in 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. 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 here 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 massage. waste on 15 november of 2017. we think the launch this time involves a new model of an icbm class messiah of huseby. 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, and economic crisis because of international sanctions. in the pandemic, analysts 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. 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 career responded by also firing missiles. it said it wanted to demonstrate its strength and ability to punish victoria gate and be al jazeera, the security forces in sit on her find tick guns in san bonds to break up a rally against the military rulers. thousands of people joined the demonstration in the capital cartoon. the country has been wrought by months of protest in some tavia, when the government was overthrown. they want the leaders to hand power to a civilian lead to government. if his government says it will also observe

a truce with rebels into gripe, to allow aid into the water and region, the un says more than 90 percent of people that need food and medicine, but only a small amount has made it to them to grow as leaders blame regional authorities for stopping it. government says the growing fight as a blocking the main route. the french island of corsica is a maximum. ryan alert following the death of jail. the corsican nationalist, yvonne colona that he died to be attacked by a fellow prisoner almost 3 weeks ago. nicholas hank has more from the regional capital of jackson. on a bright and clear sunny day. the shores of italy are visible from this french islands in the middle of the mediterranean. it feels far removed from what here people call the mainland or france or the continent, especially now after the murder of the corset can nationalists even cooler. not

because people here blamed the french state for his death that took place inside a french prison. in my say, his body was brought back late into the night. thousands of people were there and what appeared to be a spontaneous funeral procession. this is an island in morning, but according to the french states, even colona has a shady power. let me show you why it was almost 25 years ago that on this road, the top official sent from paris to oversee the island b. as it snowed in france was on his way to a theatre when he was shot several times in the back. even colon i was arrested in judges. say that she was responsible for his murder. the island is known as needed, a buffet, which means the beautiful island, but it has an ugly side. it has the highest murder rate per capita in europe for

the french authorities. there's a link between course that can nationalism and the course that can mafia. one funding the other through racketeering of businesses, the control of casinos, drugs and prostitution. and this is something the french state wants to bring to an end. now the confirmation hearings to the 1st black woman to be nominated for the u . s. supreme court have wrapped upon capitol hill, country brown jackson looks to be on track to be confirmed by the senate in april. she returns he has more from washington d. c. constitutional and import. final day of cassandra brown jackson's confirmation hearings. even opponents of non nations of the supreme court were agreed on one thing, i think you should make no mistake. that group, she is highly qualified judges are supposed to be over 4 days. republicans attempted to portray jackson a soft on crime as a form of public defender, allow her to finish, please, and soft on terrorism due to a work for the chinese at guantanamo bay. even though the right to legal counsel is

constitutionally protected, the constitution does not get suspended in times of emergency. there was a particular focus on cases involving child pornography, but her sentencing record is in keeping with the majority of other judges in the u . s. gave him every month. my question is, do you regret that or not, senator what i regret it is that in a hearing about my qualifications, to be a justice on the supreme court, we've spent a lot of time focusing on this small subset of my sentences. democrats on the committee chose to focus on the history being made with judge jackson's nomination. you're here and i know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat. i see my ancestors and yours for some court watches. this was a confirmation hearing, filled with conflicting emotions from anger to pride,

her having to sit there and be that me and me to little when this woman really has more intellect, more qualifications, to really be quite honest. in the crescent, 9 justices that when the edge jackson pledge to quote stay in her lane, that is only interpret law from the bench and not create new law through her judgments. and it was clear she was well aware of the symbolism of her nomination. i do consider myself having been born in 1970 to be the 1st generation to benefit from the civil rights movement from the legacy of all of the work of so many people that went into changing the laws in this country so that people like me could have an opportunity to be sitting here before you to day . the senate judiciary committee will vote on jackson's nomination on april, the 4th, if then confirmed by the full senate,

she will make history as the 1st african american woman associate justice. but she won't alter the ideological bounce off the supreme court. she ever chancey al jazeera washington fulman u. s. present donald trump is sitting his democratic rival, hillary clinton over the 2016 presidential election. although he won the poll, he's accusing clinton and the democratic party, as well as others of falsely linking his campaign to russia. the law suit is seeking at least $24000000.00 for damaging his reputation. it also claims that trump loss the 2020 election to president joe biden because of widespread fraud. thought i well champions, italy have been eliminated from the world cup after losing to north macedonia in that playoff in palermo. the european champions could just not find a breakthrough italian forward, dominique, her body was close to getting the 1st saw, but just could not get the ball into the back of the net. in the 2nd military that
