thursday, the russian troops reached the center of mario pole. the port city has been under siege since the war's early days. tens of thousands are feared trapped without food power or heat, but ukrainian forces say they've been resisting russia attacks elsewhere like around areas in key venture and he's then bas robbie isn't the even he reports on the latest fighting and developments around ukraine. their country is at war, but for the many ukrainian soldiers, the fight is personal. i told my wife to grab the children to hide in the basement. i went to the drafting station and joined my unit straight away. and the next day from the army base, we moved to the front line. my wife and children were and occupations for 2 weeks, but then the managed to escape through a humanitarian corridor. on the re is from the city of boucher. it's 25 kilometers northwest of keith in the pack of russian invaders. and his unit has come under

heavy bombardment since the start of the war. overnight on thursday, a missile hit, an oil depot near keith, used to supply ukraine's armed forces in the center of the country, killing and injuring people, waiting for help. the city remains under curfew. mario post city council announced on friday an air strike on a theatre on march 16th may have killed 300 people, saying the building was being used to shelter women and children and was clearly marked for pilots to see. 130 people were rescued. but as many as $1300.00 are believed to still be inside, the death toll is expected to go up. the defense ministry says ukraine's armed forces have stopped the russian advance and are taking back territory near the capital. but those forces are spread thin across several fronts,

leaving some ukrainians on their own. boy, you see just let him finish. strong from bartman for, for a village begin yesterday at 9 o'clock, hailstones and drunkards, the house burned down along with a position where we barely escaped. well, there were a lot of tanks. we passed a lot of tanks and a lot of soldiers, especially the enemy. for some reason they were fewer of our soldiers. we also saw ahmed personnel, carriers and dead found a rubber, bullets, some way salvaging what they can moving on, staying strong at noon, we will fight till the end as best we can fell with weapons and some will help us moral support. and by transferring funds to our army,

our guys should have everything, helmets, and body armor humanitarian corridors. do seem to be working when they hold. the government of ukraine has been able to move thousands of people to safety. but it also accuses russian government of forcibly relocating more than $400000.00 ukranian citizens to russian held territory. now russia says that they went willingly. ukraine says they are hostages. then basra, the oldest era, levine, us president joe biden has gone closer to the conflict visiting eastern poland. that's where he's been meeting us troops station there. he also addressed them mature, engage in as much more than just whether or not you can alleviate the pain and suffering of the people in your grand. we're in a new phase, your generation, we're inspection point about every 4 or 5 generations that comes along and changes . fundamental change takes place. the world, i'm going to be the same,

not because of ukraine, but i'm not going to be the same. and 15 years now in terms of organizational structures and the question is going to prevail, democracy is going to prevail on the values we share, or autocracy. and from the east, he has gone on to warsaw. he's just arrived there and that is where our white house correspondent kimberly hall kit is joining us from as well to tell us more about the aims of biden's trip. kimberly there really 2 aspects to this trip. the 1st of course is security and that's why the u. s. president was on the heels of those meetings in brussels, where he met with nato leaders and g 7 leaders and talked about that extensively in terms of battle plans. now he's actually talking to the soldiers that will implement those plans. if in fact this is a conflict, this builds beyond the borders of ukraine and country like poland, for example, neighboring nearby and nato country is in any way attacked. these are the soldiers

that would be called up to fight back. and so the u. s. president, not only reassuring and sending a message of reassurance to the people of poland, but also to the soldiers that what is really at stake. and so that's what you heard the u. s. president talking about there. but there also is the humanitarian aspect to all of this. given the fact that poland has a shared border with you, creative 500 kilometers, they really have borne the brunt of the migrant crisis. that is emerging as a result of this conflict of the 3700000 that have been displaced as a result of this conflict. at least 2000000 or more have come to poll and looking for help. and so the u. s. president, not only talking about what the united states and the international community is doing to support, but also talking about why he believes there's an international obligation to really lift up poland and other nations that are supporting ukraine at this time.

and what's the pond for saturday in warsaw? oh, as you mentioned, the president has just touch down in warsaw and he'll be spending the night here. what we know is that he's going to have an opportunity to speak with some of these people who have been fleeing ukraine and have really experienced the violence 1st hand. so that's one of the things he's going to do. but of course, he's also going to be meeting with the president of poland to really reassure him firsthand that if poland is in any way attacked as a nato country, the nato commitment to the article 5 it attacked. the one attack on all is iron clad in the united states and nato allies would defend. but as well, we know the u. s. president is expected to make what he is calling a major address. and in this address from warsaw and saturday were expecting that he was president. we'll talk about the gravity of this moment that there is an

urgency in a challenge. he is going to issue to the free world that essentially he believes that the free world needs to unite against what the united states is labeled as russian aggression vladimir putin. and that is really a battle between a belief in 2 ideologies. one is a talk versus the other is democracies and why the u. s. president believes that ultimately democracies will prevail. all right, thank you so much. kimberly hallett reporting from warsaw, poland. now before poland, joe biden was in brussels. and there the u. s. president and own seed struck a deal with the you aiming to reduce europe's reliance on russian gas. under the agreement, the u. s. on other nations will increase natural gas exports to europe by an extra 15000000 cubic meters this year. madam president, i know, i know that eliminating russian gas will have cost for europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from

a moral standpoint. it's going to put us on a much stronger strategic footing. james phases in brussels and he told us how the you plans to reduce its dependency on russian energy. if you look at the things that ukraine wants in terms of sanctions, they want top of sanctions. and the thing that they think is missing is the energy that the you buy from russia, the oil and gas, it's 40 percent of europe supplies that comes from russia. now you have said, well, we can't cut it. many countries are opposed to that because they say it was home very much of themselves and their citizens. so what now the u. s. is doing is it's going to supply l n g to europe we've, they've said they're going to supply 15000000000 cubic meters. this year the u then says that this means that this year they can cut the dependence on russia by 2 thirds. and by 2027, they can have no rushing gas

a tall. they can completely cut it out, but it goes 20. $27.00 is 5 years from now, so that means they're going to be 5 years in which the e. u is still going to be paying russia for its oil and gas money that is going to help the russian economy at a time. when the you stated aim is to try and isolate the government of low to mid to the final communique, not yet out here at the summit talks going on a little bit longer than usual. one of the other issues i believe they close to agreeing is a plan to jointly by the gas in future that will give them a better price. i would older, as a former us ambassador to nato, he explains how the alliances response could evolve. are clearly continued involvement in terms of sending equipment different kinds of equipment are being sent to day them was at the outset of the war. so in that sense, nato countries individually are helping ukraine. but there are circumstances and

thinking in nato at the leaders meeting, there was a discussion as both nader sector general against ulta burke and president joe biden mentioned that the nato response and how it would act will change depending on the changing circumstances, including on whether russia decides to escalate with the use of chemical weapons or, or even worse with, with nuclear weapons. in that case, the possibility of some direct nato involvement is, is more likely and much of the damage that is being done. the horrendous damage is being done is done by rockets by artillery fire, by longer range missiles and by tanks, of course, and no fly zone doesn't do anything about that. so if we're going to get involved and there is a reason to be involved, and i think it is incumbent on nato, not just to impose a no fly zone, but to have a material impact on the war. and that's going and taking out the dose forces that

are doing the damage inside the ukraine. well, here's some of what's coming up with an eye on new frame. taiwan prepared for a potential assault by china. each dress triggers another mass bleaching event for australia. the great barrier reef is used climate protests resume and, and support australia. cricketers clinch their 1st test series when it pockets on for 24 years. and he will be here with that story. ah, but 1st humans who the rebels say they've hit several targets inside the kingdom. earlier, a fick plume of black smoke was seen rising in the city of jed on the red sea coast where oral giant romco house facilities saudi authorities say a fire in 2 tanks has been brought under control. they also say there are no casualties. gender is currently hosting the formula one grand prix. well,

here are some of what are the spokesmen have to say about the attacks. because of the unfair seeds that we are living in for 8 years. the many armed forces with the help of a law all my it's a, had lost its operation with a group of winged and ballistic messiah, and also drones. we have targeted around go positions and situations in gender and saudi arabia and other locations in re yard with a group of miss files also will find real russet to nora and the refinery. i've been targeted through our drones a lot to bring in moran come along. he's had a policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies. he's joining us here in delphi. thanks for your time with us. my one cumberland. what do you

make of these latest miss all and drones strikes, targeting saudi arabia. thank you, and thank you for having done it. as, you know, i mean, this is the 2nd attack this week on. so get a, b, r o in the nation. the latest one was last sunday and it's monster 7 anniversary. today is the 7 innovative of the war in yemen. when saudi arabia coalition of our country is to prevent our peace from taking control of doc of the country. but this one, actually, it can be to be in 2 into 2 ways. and the 1st one is that with these are, must be frustrated by, by the saudi led coalition because they built most of their games. we have made that last year. we know that the hope these have been trying actually to control a boat of matter and ship. well, in order to make a breakthrough in the fight against the forces of the internal president article

and sort of how do you, does your v and international, then it internationalize and government of popped up on sort of how the, how would these, the last more than $30000.00 them of the own troops over the boss over the boss. right? you know, and we all know, actually they have been, have not been actually making any progress. and the concept somehow it's, it's a revenge against the salaries they want to book and how you think saudis are going to respond to. why do you think the saudis will, will respond to this a particularly seeing that it's actually come while the f one, the grand prix is meant to be taking place in saudi arabia? well, i think it's going to be more of the same because you have been having this got the got a few years that guy that the whole, these have been talking and saudi arabia, nations for the past 3 years, the major, the most tedious one was maps in september 2019 when the actually without how sound good idea production. but also there is another aspect of this, this dataset,

not we or no actually it comes on come to worst timing actually because, you know, i mean the own market that the machine, there's a shortage of noise in the actual market. and everybody actually is, is trying to have to use the saudis, and other and other countries to produce more on the saudis. last week they issued a statement saying that we are not responsible for any shortage in the oil in the oil market. if these attacks my to how he's going continue with that either healing buyer as you speak to us, we're just playing video off of one of the fires that broke out in the in jetta in the kingdom and the saudi state media saying that it's a, it's foiled a string of drone and rocket attacks by the who thes but what do we make of the kingdoms air defense systems. but it's very difficult that we all know you. i mean, you can perhaps intercept that. i mean, that, you know, massage, but not all of them. i mean, if you, if you launch like, like,

like thousands of missiles you might be able actually to bring that in. and there's a half of them. but i mean, some of them will, will indeed they should have their target. but i was talking about something i was also getting because this is something really important. and i was talking about an issue in the market. it comes also when done english issues between iran and the b, the b 5 plus one in the in now coming to our very political speech. now i think the wrong is they want also to brush up on the by the administration which is in dire need 4 more or production to conclude the negotiations and bring back your on to the own market. because the iranian is the one, the sanctions i gave them to be lifted as soon as possible. so there is an element to this attack, also bloss dialogue that they am in the context and between saudi arabia and, and the whole the so i think we have to pick or that it got to know that understand why this attack. why isn't that what these are actually it gets to find

a get attacks against, i'll get it the and binary data back in the only issues is i'll get it. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much and have a lot for speaking to us from thank you. well, andy richardson will be here in a little while with the sports news, and he'll look at the impact these attacks are actually having on the ground pre in saudi arabia. well, the u. s. has opposed new sanctions on north korea that's getting launched with largest ever intercontinental ballistic missile. qindzhong says he's preparing for a long standing confrontation with the u. s. and expanding his countries nuclear deterrent. florence, the reports on the launch of what some analysts are calling a monster missile. this is north korea, the biggest intercontinental ballistic missiles state media has now released this video of the test, calling it a new type, icbm. d to kim jong and personally oversaw the launch saying the test will

deter any potential military moved by the us. south korea reacted immediately, conducting a live fire test of multiple ballistic and tactical missiles. went on a military, slightly monitoring a north crazed military movement and confirmed that we have the ability in readiness to accurately strike the origin of a missile launch. thursday's launch shows north korea. nuclear capability has advance the missile flu higher and for a longer time than any previous test. the size of this new a lot more inside of it. so we're looking at a missile that can carry, for example, more than one or rice could strike multiple targets with a single the timing of the launch is also significant because the world is fixed on the ring price. that either northridge trying to get fed to refocus attention is or things that because that we are so preoccupied that they may,

her less repercussion because of all the bandwidth crane 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 korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs have failed, and kim junglin has made no secret of the fact. he wants his country to be recognized as a nuclear stay. florence louis al jazeera taiwan is considering extending mandatory military service for a young people following russia's 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 on the dongle archipelago. it's a string of islands that are closer to mainland china than they are to taipei andrews, chappelle reports. people living on these islands off the coast of the mainland are

watching events unfold and ukraine is chinese warplanes carry out incursions into taiwan air defense zone. 64 year old linda show has always lived with a threat. the china might seize, don in island by force, shows on college, how she knew my heart. if they provoke us, we still can't touch them. if they want to fly over the island, just let them fly. if you shoot them down, everything will be over. i'm not kidding you really? 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 that just look at the war between russia and ukraine. if they use atomic bombs, it will all be over. no country would be able to escape the word, but public doubt. dungeon is only 50 kilometers off the mainland. the island is home to a missile base, and military drills are held regularly to prepare for potential assault by chinese forces. shows your shield your payment bush will call festival where needs to be

pointed out. one is not ukraine to taiwan question, and the ukraine issue are different in nature bundle, mentally, taiwan. inalienable parts of trying to territory the taiwan question is purely shine, is intended to face 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 starts 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. enter chappelle al jazeera,

hello there, let's look to the middle east and it's a windy picture in the days to come. we got those gusty winds blowing down the red sea and a shamal that's picking up down the gulf. we are going to see some hazy sunshine and the possibility of some sand storms, but for the levant, we've got that unsettled whether that's going to push for the east, and we will see some temperatures recovering places like lebanon and syria, the temperature dipped down. however, i am places like guitar, as well as southern areas of saudi arabia as those more unsettled conditions. sweep in the bit of a win chill lasting through to next week. now was we move across to northern africa as a windy picture he had to for that north west. we got showers up in the north of morocco . it is going to get windier as well across the northern crossed. if we have a look at the 3 day, however, for a bat is going to clear up slightly, some of that rain dying out by saturday. we'll see the temperature picture pick up above the average. by the time we get into sunday, it was

a move down to southern africa. we've got those seasonable showers, continuing for much of the central band. we've seen some heavy rain across northern areas of botswana, bleeding into zimbabwe and southern areas of mozambique bought for south africa. it's a much clearer picture with sunshine for cape town through to sunday. ah . across europe, immigration is high on the agenda and in hungary it's presented as a pressing issue. we didn't have immigrants at all 0 marissa, but this is the one political talking to anybody. and everybody is discussing the far right is preparing for battle. of their opponents or anyone who is different prejudice from friday and hungry on al jazeera, examining the headline. what is the situation mariner?

it's worse than any kind of nightmare. it was how every unflinching journalism. what is it telling us about india? it's telling us that we're going down a very, very being restored sharing personal stories with a global audience. here i am meeting with people sharing the same struggles and same stories, explore an abundance of world class programming on elgin 0. 0, a hello again. with the news our on al jazeera, here are the top stories russians defense ministry says the 1st phase of what they call the special operation. ukraine is now complete in the separate controlled

areas of the john boss region. russia says it will now focus completely on taking control they are, and it's not really our storming the seeds ukrainian or russian shelling has struck the international airport in ukraine, 2nd biggest city hurricane. these pictures from airport surveillance camera show the moment that was long surrounding areas were also hit overnight on thursday. in other news, yemen show the rebels have hit several targets inside saudi arabia. the kingdom has admitted that oil facilities and the cities of jetta and june, or struck returning to ukraine and as big as incur keven tells us more about the russian strikes there. there has been constant bombardment going on all night all morning all day. there's so many buildings and places being picked. it's hard to keep track of the content smoke on the sky. and as far as i can tell you this morning, we heard of an incidence of a cluster munition. we believe just outside

a clinic where full people were killed in 3 theaters, the injured now when we arrived there, we looked around 200 meters down the road. there was one right outside a school. then another one in the middle of a children's playground. that'll small custom munition rip through the woods and climbing frame and whole across the metal sliding. and let me just show you some of these small clustering issues that we picked up found in the, in the, in the children's day grow these tiny metal ball bearings. some of them the really tiny, just the size of my finger in, in a school playground. now this is what's going on. this is a resent residential area. and this is what's going on in the 2nd largest city. many people have already left those that do remain just really fearful because they don't know where the russians will strike. and when they will strike. and as you

said, they've constant bombardment this morning. we woke up to the smell of burning. as soon as we stepped out, and as we went through the city, every few minutes, those violent thuds and bangs to and fro from the russians under ukrainians. and sometimes as you get closer, you feel that those vibrations and the so many buildings that have been damaged here. and it doesn't seem to be a method to the madness. sometimes it's a shopping center or buildings like this residential building. sometimes it's a hospital. the situation here that people are telling us is that then very, very fearful. so many people have left and those that do remain some of them vulnerable and the elderly of some are resilient and saying that they don't want to leave. this is basically the born and bred half, and they refused to give it up to the russian district. daniel hamilton, who's a senior fellow at the brookings institution center on the united states in europe, he's joining us from washington dc. daniel, how much one? welcome to al jazeera. let's just look at print that invite and trip to begin with

. i mean, he's gone to poland. he's very much carrying a message of solidarity and unity to european allies. host significant, do you think is this trip? i think it's quite significant. it's not just the nato summit meeting. it's a u. s. c. u summit meeting at the g 7 summit meeting was the president going to poland not only to meet with troops, but to see the refugee crisis firsthand and to hear what needs to be done to deal with that massive crisis. it's important to maintain western unity in the face of the war. and there might be some 1st indications that the russians are regrouping now, the syndication that they might focus on the don't boss. but of course, it's our by our hard to see when you see the shelling that was just announced. how this will continue. i'm speaking of unity. i mean, you were so you recently wrote, the nato allies have offered what you describe as an impressive display of unity in

response to the invasion. but how much pressure is this going to come under as this war goes on? well, i think we have to understand what we're really facing here, win lose or draw for putin east central europe is going to remain an area of persistent confrontation with russia. and it will be emblematic of a broader era of disruption, the venture. unfortunately, the entire world is entering. if you think about the energy flows, flows of humanity, supply chain congestion, all of the things that, that connect our societies are being disrupted. and that's a much bigger phenomenon than the war and ukraine that'll affect everyone on the planet. but ukraine is sort of the epicenter of this earthquake right now. now, i think that the west and it's not really, you know, the west we say,

but it's really a european us north american alliance. but many partners around the world have joined in this. the g 7 summit included the japanese prime minister, for instance. many other countries are aligning to stop. but you're, you're right specifically on nato. and you say that nato has been working on a new strategic concept during the, the past year, which now needs to be revamped. so how do you think nato needs to adapt to this new reality in which you just described that you said it was a future of persistent confrontation with russia? you know, at the next nato summit, which will be in june in madrid, spain, the alliance plans to unveil this next long term concept. i believe the, the implication when the president and others say that they will defend every inch of their quote of nato territory, means they don't have to move to

a forward defense posture on its eastern borders. that means permanent stationing of troops, that means positioning of equipment. that means deter it deterrence by denial, not allowing or russia to do anything to intrude on nato territory. secondly, it means the european allies have to step up. they've, they've declared more money, but they haven't said, but they're going to spend that money on. they need to be able to take on half of the enablers and the capabilities to confront russia. so the u. s. doesn't have to do so much of the job because of course the united states is focus and other world regions as well. and then we have to think about resilience now in an age of disruption. having resilience, societies is actually a core function of defense. how do we so, you know, our resilience piece of cyber attacks, disruptions to our energy flows, all these kinds of things that people really worry about food supplies,

now. we have to build a resilience as a new way of thinking about security. that's much more beyond the military, it's calls for new types of coalitions that will include nato, but it will be much, much broader than alright. we'll leave it there. thank you so much for joining us from washington. d. c. thank you. now, russian president vladimir putin has criticize organizations that are boycotting his country's artists. she's even drawn comparisons to nazi era book burnings as bernard smith reports from moscow for russian soldiers heading for the front lines in ukraine as a chance for confession and communion with. it's often the 1st military chaplain says, this is an offense crew and ukraine taking part in what russia called it special, military operation, operations architect. now it's uses the west of trying to cancel russian culture and retaliation. use that usually kosky shostakovich. rachmaninoff being removed

from constant programs russian rod isn't in books, have been banned as well. last time we saw such massive destruction of unsuitable literature who was almost 90 years ago, and you knew in nazi germany. we remember very well the footage of books being burned. and says the war and ukraine is about what he calls d not defying the countries. it was a theme, his foreign minister pursued in reference to europe tactics towards russia. she wouldn't live, they declared a real hybrid was total war. this term used by nazi germany is now used by many european politicians when they say what they want to do with the russian federations. russia, thank you. further isolation at the us and its allies succeeds in expelling moscow from the g. 20 group of major economies. where the criminal says nothing terrible will happen. if it's kicked out. bernard smith aisle jazeera moscow, and china's foreign minister has been discussing the war on

model budget for that of a new universe. if he has in change, i've seen the financial collapse in 2019. this means it's hard to give the teachers their rights like. ready 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 of the teaching staff has left them on to do 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. gonna send music on the gym on auto be are you certain if 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 to may be forced to drop out. i'm not sure if the tuition fees or something that i'm not sure i'll be able to pay 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 practically no future for students and on. 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 age between $15.24 to drop out of school. then

a hoodie elder zita failed president biden's nominee to the u. s. supreme court has cleared confirmation hearings. despite efforts to derail her nomination. judge catan g brown jackson will become the 1st black woman to sit on the u. s. supreme court. if the senate confirms her next month, she returns the reports from washington, constitutional and import at the final day of cotton g brown jackson's confirmation hearings. even opponents of an omen 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
