this is breaking but also history as it's unfolding, throttling from serbia hungry to rep one day. i might be covering politics in the next year, or i might be covering full test. but what's most important to me is talking to people, understanding what they're going through. so that i can convey the headlines and the most human way possible. here at al jazeera, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing ah, reducing addiction to russian energy the you strike to do with the us to supply liquefied natural gas. i know that let me russian gas will have cost for europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from the moral standpoint. it's going to put us on a much stronger strategic foot. ah,

a robot this. and this is our 0 live from doha. also coming up, stranded and under siege, a desperate situation continues for citizens stuck in the city of mateo. paul, north korea, faxes, its missiles, new video emergency showing it's latest test the u. s. and e, you have struck a deal to help europe and its reliance and russian gas western allies in brussels. a continue to pile pressure on moscow to and it's military offensive in ukraine. the u. s. and other nations with increased natural gas export to europe by 15000000000 cubic meters this year. as an and joe biden was in brussels, where his accused, russian president vladimir putin, of using energy sales to drive his war machine. madam president,

i know i know that a la russian gas will have cost for europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint. is kind of put us on a much stronger strategic footing. and i am proud to announce that we've also reached another major breakthrough and translate data flows. privacy and security are key elements of my digital agenda. and today we've agreed to unprecedented protection for data privacy and security for our citizens. the sanctions are now working their way deep into the russian system, draining proteins, resources to finance this atrocious war. i work on sanctions also shows that when we act together, we stronger and we really can make a difference. and we are continuing to reinforce our corporation in many strategic ways. president joe biden, starting to poland, where he's going to see 1st hand some of the impact of russia's war is having when

he visits there, that's where most ukrainian refugees have fled to. natasha battle is alive for us in brussels. let's talk with that term press conference natasha. that the emphasis very much seems to be that to try to starve. president putin of funds by reducing the reliance of europe on russian gas. you know what you saw there was the u. s. president joe biden. i'm the head of the european commissioner of on delay announcing what they're calling and you energy partnership between us and the year. and what that's going to mean is that the united states basically offering to help the european union reduces reliance on russian energy supplies, most notably on natural gas. now, united states is the biggest export of liquefied natural gas to the european union . it will now look trying to increase some of those supplies and also help the blog

diversify and look for other energy sources. now, energy, 71 of the main topic that is being discussed by the 27 leaders of the you. they are in that discussion. been that talks right now the 2nd day of the summer in brussels and there have been divisions over the question of whether or not to impose a ban on russian energy. important. that is something that the u. s. and dawn on oil and gas, but it's far more difficult for the european union to do that because they do rely so heavily on the russian energy supplies. many 50 percent of the use gas supplies . natural gas applies, come from russia. so that's why you've got some countries including germany, italy who are saying, look, we simply cannot just find out, right? russian energy supplies, because we wouldn't be able to survive. that means also we'd be pushing up prices

so drastically for the consumers. it is just not a viable option. so now if i think everyone's on the same page, they want to reduce their lives on washing the energy supply, most notably because of the war and ukraine. they knows that that money is being used to fuel the kremlin war. effort, but it's something they have been talking about i even before this russian invasion of ukraine because energy prices have been going up and we can month. that's actually thank you very much indeed. natasha about a in brussels. no russians selling his stock. the international airport in ukraine's the 2nd biggest city hockey eve. these pictures from airports surveillance cameras. so the moment it was bombed khaki is airport and surrounding areas have been under heavy bombardment overnight. i said, begs live for us there and talk as to what we know about the airport. first of all, i said, well old throughout the night there's been heavy bombardment even this morning we. we heard it all through this morning up until just about about half an hour ago.

now when we stepped out, you could smell the smoke in the air in compass and goes all the city as we looked out onto it. but what i can tell you this morning around 7 20 am the small clinic behind me. i shall landed here. it killed 4 people, an injured 3. and this is the point of impact. doesn't seem like much, but that ended up kidding for people. now this clinic is surrounded by residential residential area. this has its hair under the playground, just behind me. children were just playing and this 200 meters down the road. another shall lead it close to a school. and this is what's happening in this 2nd largest city. people just don't know where the russians will strike all morning. we've been hearing heavy artillery fire. now. yesterday there was 6 people killed and 15 wounded. this acute up for humanitarian, 8 and near a post office and also denise for the city, not far from here, about 3 hours drive the military bases there. as i said,

we've been speaking to people in the local area and they've become accustomed to heavy artillery fire, but the compete randomness of this. not knowing where the next shallow land, where the next to re land round will land is really, really affecting people. you don't see many people out on the street. many people are taking shelter in the underground and basement and bomb shelters. and the mayor has said that no place in the city is safe. i so thank you very much indeed. i said, be bringing this up 2 days from hockey as well as at least 300 people were killed in last week. the bombing of a theatre in mario pole that's according to ukraine and officials in the fort city . more than a 1000 people were sheltering in the theatre when it was struck by rushing shelling . if you 100 were able to be rescued. unless his defense ministry says it's destroyed a major fuel devil outside the capital. keep a spokesman said the facility was hit by a cruise missile far from the sea. believe the devil was used to supply ukraine's

armed forces in the center of the country. vision on the road in the evening on march 24 high position, cruise missiles, car libra, fired from the truck, the fuel depart. in the colleen nova car settlement near keith, the major remaining fuel, the part of ukraine's armed forces, which supplied the military units in the central part of the country, was destroyed and tosh. my waters live for us in moscow. we've been hearing about ukrainian forces, which they, that they've been pushing back russian military units and so on. but of course, this is know the russians saying that they have hit key target will arrive. they saying that the cause messiah the fly target is one of the last remaining largest remaining fuel depose, in the central part of the country, particularly via the kia region, which is a vital life line for the cranium, army units. and that the managed to destroy that, that deeper they say that also russian helicopters would involved in targeting more

than $50.00 to $1.00 military facilities. usually this is a reference to what the russians describe as into anti aircraft systems. also, a jones and rocket, a mall shows the russian military according to ego caught us, think of the spokesperson of the missile defense. that is the thought of the, of the war. the russians have destroyed more than 204, and an aircraft system more than 261 drones and more than a 1500 or tanks. now, this from a russian perspective is part of a wider political problem here. they say that the attempt by the americans to isolate russia and to and to reduce your p and the reliance on the russian energy is widely seen as part of another conflict, which is a war and economic quarter further undermine russia. this explains why, for example, for gale of the rush of why miss that today says that this is a hybrid war last by the americans. and the russians say they do understand why

they're doing this. and this explains white biscuit, who is the demit to pick up the spokesperson of the cremeans said to dave that the attempt by the russian, by the americans to to, to further isolate russia is just part of a wider thing, which is the americas not willing to understand that this is not just about your grant, this is about a wider issue, which is the need for nato to understand that the russians see its expansion as a far bigger problem that undermine the national security here. hi simone. capaluto talking to this from moscow hudson. thank you very much. indeed sir. had an order sooner. futures at state university of thousands of luxuries. students rely on close to financial collapse for climate emergency. the world's largest quarterly systems under threats is global warming sheets, or oceans. ah

ah, look forward to skies with sponsored point cutoff at ways. hello there. there's a change in the weather to come for japan as we looked at east asia. you can see that area of low pressure skirting out of east and china making its way across the korean peninsula. so it's gonna bring some really wet and windy weather here, wintery weather up in the north, and that will slam into southern areas of japan. it's not going to be welcome. now that cherry blossom season has started and we'll see some of that rain edge in to tokyo on saturday. it's moving relatively quickly that weather system. and by the time we get into sunday, it will have cleared. we'll see the temperature come up once again in tokyo to well above the average. can see that rain on saturday and sunday, but by monday they will be cloud, but it will be dryer. now was move across to south asia. it's a relatively clear picture. for many areas, particularly for india, we've got heat that's dominating here, warnings out for heat waves in good,

you're right. that's expected to last through the next 4 days, at least temperatures touching up to 40 degrees in some areas that we've got some thunderstorm watches for the northeastern areas like a some. and we will see some showers creep into coastal areas of corolla, some of those thunderstorms developing in sri lanka. but the for farther north we go the dryer. it is with plenty of sunshine for new delhi. the weather, sponsored by katara always war to scarcity, has become a major issue. the demand is going right up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can afford it? that guy told me to water out there examines the social financial and environmental impact of water privatization loads of water on al jazeera.

ah, ah ah, your geologist hit our reminder, our top stories this our russians. shelling struck the international airport in ukraine. the 2nd biggest city. how have these pictures from airport surveillance cameras show? the moment it was bombed archives, airport and surrounding areas have been under heavy bombardment overnight. at least 300 people were killed in last week's bombing of a theater and muddy a pole, but according to ukraine and officials in the port city. more than a 1000 people were sheltering in the theatre when it was struck by russian shelley western allies in brussels. are continuing to pile pressure on russia to end its military offensive in ukraine years. president joe biden has been meeting you

leaders in brussels. we're the deals we was trying to help europe and its reliance and russian gas. taiwan is considering extending mandatory military service for young people following rushes, invasion of ukraine. the defense minister says 4 months of service wouldn't be long enough in the event of a conflict. military drills have taken place in the dung, young archipelago. it's a string of islands that are closer to mainland china than they are to taipei under chappelle reports. people living on these islands off the coast of the mainland are watching events unfold, and ukraine is chinese war planes carry out incursions into ty, wants air defense zone. 64 year old lindsey show has always lived with a threat that china might see don in island by force on college. how she knew me if they provoke us, we still can't touch them. if they want to fly over the island, just let them fly. shoot them down, everything will be over. i'm not kidding you. it would be the start of the 3rd

world war. it's really too scary. it wouldn't even just be us and the mainland fighting other countries would surely also join in the fight. just look at the war between russia and ukraine. if they use atomic bombs, it'll all be over. no country would be able to escape where the public dung in is only 50 kilometers off the mainland. the island is home to a missile baked, and military drills are held regularly. prepare for potential assault by chinese forces shows you in shelter full time and bush will call it festival. it needs to be pointed out upon one is not ukraine to taiwan question and the ukraine issue are different in nature bonded mentally tawan. it's an inalienable part of trying to parent tree. the taiwan question is purely, shawn is internal affairs and that can be no for an interference. the 2 sides across the taiwan strait must be and will be unified. it is the trend of history that can never be stopped by any one or any 4. surely. for younger people that's now easier to imagine. so i, so it is, it's a challenge,

and that is it. i don't think the threat of the war has a big influence in our daily lives, but of course it will come up and everyone's conversations. but we will discuss it in a rather light hearted manner. for example, when we explore strongholds, we would discuss if it will really start which nearby stronghold we would run to. because recently there's been discussion about bomb shelters in taiwan about where to go to take shelter and so on. but life goes on as usual here, and people hope that isn't about to change. and or chappelle, i'll just hear a holocaust survivor killed in russian shelling and ukraine has been laid to rest bonus on jenko died last week from a russian strike. it is a pop and building and cock eve. the 96 year old ukranian survived 3 not see. one concentration comes to world war 2 will be when he was not fit to leave high cave, we were able to take him away and he himself was stubbornly refusing to leave. we kept inviting him, kept coming up to the bombardment started,

brought him food. he categorically refused to leave and he would not be able to. he could barely walk. ukrainian valley down says foster escaped the war of being given the chance to train with a balloon state ballet in germany. about $200.00 refugee dancers were welcomed, including some from russia who oppose the putin regime. the initiative was organized by ukrainian prima ballerina who's a member of the balance state ballet. ok, let's get some other walk news now. the u. s. is imposed new sanctions in north korea are to pyongyang launched its largest ever intercontinental ballistic missile . hymns on guns says he's preparing for a long standing confrontation with the u. s. and is expanding his country's nuclear war deterrent on slavery reports on the launch of what some analysts are calling up . monster miss heil. this is north korea's biggest intercontinental ballistic missile state. media has now released this video of the test, calling it a new type icbm he did,

came john personally oversaw the launch saying the test will deter any potential military moves by the u. s. south korea reacted immediately. conducting a live fire test of multiple ballistic and tactical missiles. we went on a military's closely monitoring a north korean military movement and confirmed that we have the ability in readiness to accurately strike rekey the origin of a missile. launch it on thursdays launch chose north korea's nuclear capability, has advanced the missile flu higher and for a longer time than any previous tests, the size of this means a lot more inside of it. so we're looking at a missile that can carry more than one, or i could strike multiple targets with a single missile. the timing of the launch is also significant and because of the world has on the grain prices that either north british trying to get fried to

refocus attention on his cell. or it thinks that because that we are so preoccupied that they made her less ashy because of all the bandwidth that ukraine is taking over the test is being seen as a major escalation. the un security council will meet on friday to discuss the launch for years, attempts to dismantle north korean nuclear and ballistic missile programs have failed. and kim jong has made no secret of the fact he wants his country to be recognized as a nuclear. florence louis al jazeera rober kennings, a professor of political science and diplomacy, pusan national university. he says, sanctions on it's going to be north korea, give up. it's nuclear weapons program. the larger issue is that north korea really sees itself as sort of the korea, sort of the appropriate korea at south creates, or a lot of the american colonies dominated by the united states, japanese corporation and things like that. i mean,

this is really sort of central north korean ideology, actually that it's like the real creed sort of protector of the green people and stuff like that. and so it's really, really important in north korea constantly. so show that in some way up here equal with south korean, can't do that. economic militarily become the big thing. right. and so that's why there's so much emphasis on the nuclear weapons or even written into the north korean constitution. now we got without the new north korean, just kind of like a or version of south korea. places are going to get the nuclear. i think that was sort of one of the problems that was brought up back in 2018. we talked about sort of the complete disarmament and worker that's not going to happen. i think the real benefit of sanctions strategically is that they slow down the north korean march. you know, if you got, you know, nuclear weapons today that's, i guess it's roughly what people think. maybe they have more but you know, they didn't, we didn't have sanction center. they might have 75, i think. so that's really the benefit of the sanctions that slows the march towards more and more of these weapons in northridge made it pretty clear that they want to build out a full spectrum. nuclear force. china's fault misses made

a surprise visit to india, why he met his indian counterparts. several among them. jack on shankar, it's the 1st visit by a top chinese officials since border clutches in 2020 elizabeth put on him reports from new delhi. this visit by the chinese foreign minister to new delhi was shrouded in secrecy with neither the chinese nor indian governments confirming that it was taking place until it actually happened. one game that was india's national security advisor. i just thought before meeting his indian counterpart, that's external affairs minister s j shanker. for nearly 3 hours, they discussed a range of issues, but they focused on their ongoing tensions along their disputed himalayan border, which as de shanker said, more than once with a result of chinese actions since april 2020. as j shanker also said that both sides expressed their desire for the disengagement of the armies along that wonderful a complete, deescalate, and a return to a more normal relationship. now this visit is really significant because both sides

have a mass. their soldiers along the border since the deadliest violence between the 2 countries in nearly 50 years took place in june 2020. that's when 20 indian soldiers and an unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed in fighting. now, multiple rounds, something like 15 rounds of high level military talks have failed to result and complete disengagement. but sta shanker said that that is possible as both sides a genuine. he also said that they talked about some other major international issues including ukraine and agreed that dialogue and diplomacy must be the priority. and dea has abstained from criticizing russia. also from all resolution to the un security council, the un general assembly condemning russia while china has supported russia at the un lebanon has facing an education crisis. it's only public university is close to

financial ruin and that's threatening the future or more than $80000.00 students center called a reports from beirut. this is the reality of lebanon's economic crisis. many and a currency crash me and salaries are not enough to meet basically. it's why these teachers have been on strike, threatening the education of more than $80000.00 students enrolled at the only public university in the country. why isn't it a model budget for the new university? has it changed since the financial collapse in 2019? this means it's hard to give the teachers their rights, like full time employment uninsured. the lebanese university has become the only option for those who can no longer afford private education. many students are concerned about their future already. more than $200.00 of the teaching staff has left a month or 2. and if you don't give them their rights more,

this will affect us already. there is a huge shortage of lab equipment and other learning resources at the university of the university has long been underfunded. but now the nearly bankrupt state is unable to cover operating expenses. it's facing what has been described as its biggest financial crisis in its history. and it is close to collapse, the university says it needs $34000000.00 for this year's academic year, but it only has $16000000.00 in its budget for families who are struggling. education is no longer a priority, especially because of the drastic increase in tuition fees. going to the music behaves jam on the gym and i b are you certain university, but the tuition fee was increased and it became too expensive. it was a very difficult decision than merely my financial situation didn't allow me to continue my education. i couldn't work and study at the same time with no end in

sight to the economic collapse. many fear they too may be forced to drop out. i'm not sure if the ink is a tuition fees or something that i'm not sure of even feed them. there's also little hope of change from a political class blamed for decades of corruption. they left us no chance for opportunities, and there is no practical, no future for students in lebanon. there may still be those able to complete their studies, but the united nation says the financial collapse has until now forced 30 percent of those aged between $15.24 to drop out of school. santa hunter, elder cedar beirut. for me, you as president donald trump's assuming hillary clinton, his rival, and the 2016 presidential election. trump one that paul, but his accusing clinton, the democratic party candidate, as well as others of falsely linking his campaign to russia. lawsuits demanding at least $24000000.00 for damaging his reputation. it also claims trump last the 2020

election to president joe biden, because of wide spread fraud. president bind's nominee to the u. s. supreme court has cleared confirmation hearings despite of us to derail her nomination. judge cassandra bron jackson will become the 1st black woman to sit on the u. s. supreme court. if the senate confirms her next month, shall competency reports from washington, constitutional and import out the final day of contemporary brown jackson's confirmation hearings. even opponents of a norman nation to the supreme court were agreed on one thing, i think you should make no mistake that i group, she is highly qualified judges are supposed to be over 4 days. republicans attempted to portray jackson a soft on crime as a former public defender allow her to finish, please, and soft on terrorism due to a work for detainees 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 us . yet she gave him very months. 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 spent a lot of time focusing on this small sab sat of my sentences. democrats on the committee chose to focus on the history being made with judge jackson's nomination. you are 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 mean and mean little when this woman really has

more intellect, more qualifications, to really be quite honest in the crescent, 9 justices than 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 transit al jazeera waterton, the world's largest coral reef system in australia is suffering from mass coral bleaching because of the effect of warmer sees. and you report for the great barrier reef. marine park authority reveals a mass bleaching event. only fighter ever been recorded previously. the 1st in 1998 bleaching occurs when c, temperature rises, destroying the army that feeds the coral that's draining them of the vibrant colors . the great barrier reef is the only living thing that could be seen from space. it stretches more than 2300 kilometers along the coast. off the state of queensland. the complex system of colon islands is home to an abundance of unique marine life, including 1500 species of fish is been a huge increase in the annual crap migration near the cuban city of martin suss every spring. red, yellow and black land crab stopped the migration from the forest to cross rolls and

reached the sea to spawn the number of crabs, making the journey and being killed and busy roads is vastly up. and let recent years. scientists think the lack of traffic during the pandemic is made. crap numbers are much bigger this year. ah, this is are the 0. these are the top stories. russian shelling struck me international airport and ukraine. second biggest city. how have these pictures from surveillance cameras show the moment it was bombed khaki, airport and surrounding areas have been under heavy bombardment over night, was from hockey. he is al jazeera, as i said, big old throughout the night. there's been heavy bombardment even this morning. we were, we heard it all throughout this morning up until just about about half an hour ago now and we are stepped out. you could smell the smoke in the year. it encompassed the ngos all the city as we looked out onto it. but what i can tell you this

morning around 7 20 am the small clinic behind me. i shall landed.
