alta 0 live if or russia has again been accused of foreign cluster munitions into civilian areas. is it the international airport, as well as medical clinics and humanitarian aid stations? the least is shelling of ukraine's 2nd largest city. i said big reports now from hockey. this is the moment a russian strike hit a line of people killing for humanitarian aid. 6 people died one day on, there's 4 more deaths and 3 injured in a similar strike. outside this clinic the crater, the strike left the small, shrapnel and ball bearings shattered the windows leaving bullet like holes. taking a picture, it's alleged to russia is using cluster munitions, little wallet, a few 100 meters away. we find evidence. they are right outside of school. this rocket still in the ground for machine, you both one machine, you much all subs thrill how was inside. i was in school block,

the shilling has started. i could see through the window, it was all read what you said it was going on for about 10 minutes from. when i came out, you see that cluster called exploded down there on the pavement, was on the order of shrapnel head of the building there, la smashed the windows of the school. i don't know where it came from. you from? i was inside law school. that's where the bomb exploded. we, but there were done your school is in there is no military in this area. it's residential or one of the impact was here, right in the middle of the children's playground. and you can see the damage that's been done across these children's play area. conceit on the wood on the stairs, but also look what it's done to the metal on this flight is cut straight through. no, no children were hurt. but this could have been fatal. we find these small pieces

of metal scattered and lodged into the play space. lethal shrapnel that has no place in the residential area. let alone in a children's playground. i said big i'll jazeera hurricane. let's take a look now at the overall situation in ukraine. areas in red are held by russian forces on the separatist allies or places where they've made significant advances. or thursday russian troops reached the center of maria pull. the port city has been under siege since the early days of the war. tens of thousands of fed, trapped without food power or heating, but ukrainian forces, say they've been resisting russian attacks elsewhere, such as around give and chinese heave. or alexia morabe off is a russia defense specialist, an associate professor of national security and strategic studies at curtin university, joins us by skype live now that from perth, we've seen rush as extensive military offensive in ukraine. but how has russia's

strategy change in us? such will this just become a drawn out war of attrition? well, i said, i think you have already answered the 2nd part of your question. it has already became become a war of attrition. russia, russia, strategy has certainly evolved because the initial approach that the russians and in my estimates were based on their energy was very much to what they have done in grimy it back in 2014, when they expected mess randers. and shortly after that drops would invade you grain, especially if they it wants. they would start delivering some surgical strikes, which in there you would paralyze anymore will $2.00 to $5.00 obviously didn't happen. the level of resistance that you bring in military have put off was something that i think the russians didn't expect. and suddenly the level of resilience. and this is something that comes a lot. and they analysis right now, you wait very tight government censorship in russia. there is

a lot of credit that the russians are now being given to that. so the courageous you bringing this on fighters and that's been acknowledged. right. ross. so that obviously compelled, the russians today, if this matter seriously, even before, as, as some of the video footage was showing, the russians seem to be even surprised that they were work captured because clearly they have the message that they will receive in was quite different that they would come as liberate those that that would be great. it with flowers and cheer enjoy. and instead they, they actually had to basically everything bad tactics, obviously abandoned, also a lot of lesson that they have. what trying to export from this, your experience into your grade, recognize you. it's a full scale war and it's a different type, a war. and it's a different type of the story that they applied to. and so, yes, it did involve and continue to evolve because the work continues to drag long and militarily and as this continues,

to what extent do you think countries like china will come to the aid of moscow in terms of providing components for its war machinery? look, i think i think the talk about the chinese will provide the russians with some sort of military assistance. i think it's it's, it's a neat, inaccurate. i mean, unless the chinese will be willing to join the fight and provide woods on the ground, there is nothing that they can actually supply at ross. so with, because they have buying that wants equipment from the russians and the money they will drive to share some of the equipment that will take time for their systems to become either operable with russian systems and all busy in times of war. the time is the fact that you cannot afford to simply away. so i think the russians can get along with their, with their mission in their own right. and obviously, as, as we now in the 2nd month of that duration, well, so have to re recognize that russia is not running out of steam. there was a lot of report in, in this, in the 2nd week will become pain saying, while russia,

serious, severely on this to me, that your brain, which was absolutely true. but there was a lot of also inaccurate suggestions and predictions that will shortly thought expiring to ensure that your high precision, your new shows and because of heavy casualties. these are going to be some sort of a pushback from a, from inside russia and, and they have forces i'll take, and we'll, we'll, i'll lose in bite, in capacity, which proved to be inaccurate. the russians seem to be very relaxed with their approach in terms of running this war of attrition. and the, at least in harmony demonstrates in confidence that this is how they envisage they've right from the spot, which obviously at the, the web at the was showcase here by the, the russians. helen utilized the entire binding capacity of the entire military, which also slowed them down because they're running this i bit ration as strange. this is my song on the budget they doing it as, as, as in the very teens you way think, i mean,

that very small portion of their forces to in, on the found to weigh them. thank you, frank. okay, well let's just take a listen in moment to the russian foreign minister survey. love ralph. he says, the west has effectively declared war on russia by trying to destroy its economy. this listening, she wouldn't live today. a real hybrid war or total war was declared on us. this term, which was used by nazi germany, is now used by many european politicians when they talk about what they want to do with the russian federation. and the goals are not hidden. they are declared publicly to destroy, break annihilate for strangle the russian economy of russia as a whole. professor, mar ivy of what you may call the elaborate comments them. clearly the effects of sanctions on the russian economy hasn't escaped him. now it hasn't been a bit slow, the russians are facing really top choices,

not because they have to reject the economy. they have to find alternative ways on how to restore some of the supply chains. they need to think about park polls, particularly with the high end. a shortage is all components that there were issues even from the west, which obviously will have impact on the number they industries, including the defense sector. that the boss and, and the breathing space that the gama been put in is having right now is the fact that the war did not generate a massive back fire. in the fact that in the majority of the russians, because if the majority of the rush and steel kind of leave really em all this lives, these sanctions haven't really affected them yet as much as we perhaps anticipate that. and then in fact, as being the surgeon popularity of food and then, and what he is doing by about 10 percent since the commencement of that duration. so there is a lot of kind of sympathy to what the russian government is doing,

emma and the majority of concerned human nationalist russians, which obviously give and give the kremlin and be the live breathing space. and then be the with a menu or in space, because right now they're, they're kind of concentration. they're brought baganda on the blame game in the west. and it seems to be working because a lot of russians blamed the west for the same sins, rather than blame the gammon for making them software as a result of roches invasion in your grant. and, but how long this process can last, how long this kind of, you know, glorifying moment which in can, can last it's, it's really hard to say once the, and i also want to highlight, we should also not on, they still made the level of tolerance that the russians have towards the casualties. it's a different level of. busy runs compared with a western military is a western nation. so for the russians to take on heavy casualties while they think

they're doing the right is something a bit more acceptable. so we should also be mindful of that as well. okay, we'll leave it there. next, st. murphy off associate professor of national security strategic studies occur to university. thanks very much. thank you. now the u. s. president has praised a poland for taking in more than 2000000 refugee since the war began. joe biden made the comments during a visit to american soldiers at a military base, just an hour from the border with ukraine on our white house correspondent, kimberly how could reports now from the capital walsall, the southeastern cbs just show poland is as close as the u. s. president joe biden has come so far to russia's war or ukraine off in russia. it's his 1st chance to speak with us troops now stationed there. granted, people have a lot of backbone about a gut. i'm sure you're observing. his city is less than 100

kilometers from ukraine's border, and it's where roughly $10000.00 us troops are positioned ready to take on russia. should it expand its invasion into the nato country? it's a conflict bite and told soldiers he believes could have long term ramifications of democracy is going to prevail on and the values we share or autocracy prevail. naturally was a stake. more than 3000000 people have been displaced from ukraine since russia's invasion, because of ukraine's more than 500 kilometers, shared land border with poland. more than 2000000 people have fled to the neighboring country. my watching book identify, but i see dear america, we'd like to ask america and their leaders to please support ukraine. so ukraine is not attacked by the russians, which on the ship $1000000.00, americans should stop rockets flying in our air space. this is the most important

thing, because all of those rockets are terrible, like a nightmare body has vowed to help manage the migrant crisis. emerging a long pole is border with ukraine, but he won't commit to implementing a no fly zone. and friday, as biden met with poland president, he once again accuse russian president vladimir putin of war crimes for targeting civilians in ukraine. quite frankly because. ready walker, but biting isn't just promising humanitarian assistance for to partying brussels and friday, the united states, the european union, announced a new agreement to provide the you with extra gas equivalent to about 10 percent of what it currently gets from russia. by the end of the year. widen hopes to choke out russia's energy revenue and in turn, military funding. but on saturday, president biden sits down with president duda in the royal castle behind me. for

a more lengthy discussion on the conflict, it's biden's final opportunity to reassure a nervous ally in person of the u. s. and nato commitment to defend poland. should russia make poland? it's next target. kimberly, how can al jazeera warsaw for more on the ukraine was just ahead on al jazeera, including ah, fronting up for his country. we talk to a ukrainian pop star. ah, why north koreans leader is putting on the hollywood style show. ah, ah,

move to south america, the rain continues to dominate across the northern ha with particularly heavy falls . once again for bolivia, we could see some flooding here. and that rain pushes further down toward southern brazil. ah, the war to scarcity has become a major global issue. the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down, turning an essential natural resource into a commodity traded for profit. just precocious life doesn't mean it cannot be priced. what about the guy that can't afford it? that guy still needs water? al jazeera examines the social, financial, and environmental impact of water privatization loads of water on al jazeera. ah

ah, you're watching al jazeera, a reminder now about top stories. this. russia's defense ministry has announced a new phase of what it calls a special operation in ukraine. moscow will now focus on taking control the eastern dumbass region, but is not ruling out storming, besieged ukrainian cities. russian shutting has struck the international airport and ukraine's 2nd biggest city con keith. these pictures from airport surveillance cameras show the moment it was bombed medical clinic, sanctioned monetary aid stations have also been hit. us president joe biden has visited american troops in eastern poland the closest he's been to. the conflict

praised potent for taking in more than 2000000 refugees from neighboring ukraine shady to visit a refugee sector on saturday. nothing putin that has criticized organizations that are boycotting russian artists is even joined comparisons to not see a book burnings. but it's smith reports for moscow. william for russian soldiers heading for the front lines in ukraine as a chance for confession and communion bushes. it's often the 1st military chaplain says, this is an offense crew in ukraine, taking part in what russia called it special military operation. operations architect now uses the west of tried to cancel russian culture and retaliation. is that usually a kosky shostakovich rachmaninoff being removed from constant programs? russian rogers and books have been banned as well. last time we saw such massive destruction of unsuitable literature who was almost 90 years ago,

new in nazi germany. we remember very well the footage of books being burned, roman says the war and ukraine is about what he calls the knots, defying the countries. it was a theme, his foreign minister pursued in reference to europe tactics towards russia. she wouldn't abuse, 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 federation . russia is further isolation at the us and its allies succeeds in expelling moscow from the g. 20 group of major economies with the kremlin, says, nothing terrible will happen if it's kicked out. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow. people from all walks of life are on the front line in ukraine. every adult male age between 18 and 60 has been asked to stay and defend their country. with paris to polio is the front man of pop rock band and t teela. here's

what he was doing until a month ago. ah, with polio enlisted when the war broke out and is now delivering medical a to wounded military personnel. you never know what happened next time. you know, just now we're talking with you, but next 2nd, the miss. so can hear this building and i will die. you never know what happens. it is war. so, but i want to say that we see it here from the inside of the bottle. feel that russian have no power to take their capital ukraine. so

they can do just only want think they are preparing for chemical attack and we also prepare for their chemical attack. so last 2 days we were we were searching for chemical, defend cease and for medical treatment. so all that they can do in this sedation, it just to escalate this war by using a chemical weapon, a chemical attack. so, but we already and you know, it's unbelievable that we are talking about this now. just imagine may 1 months ago, i was on the stage regard that it stadiums in our country. but now we're talking about this. it's, it's terrible. we'll look at some other stories. now. humans who the rebels say they've hit several targets inside saudi arabia. a thick plume of black smoke was

seen rising above the city of jeden on the red sea coast. where saw the state oil giant aramco has several facilities. authorities, confirmed agenda and other areas were hit that several drones and missiles were fired from yemen. sandy led coalition has been fighting the who these in yemen since 2015 but it's now take a look at where those attacks took place in jetta. they hit the ramco oil facility about 11 kilometers from the cornish, where the formula one event will go ahead on sunday. they also came into close range with him and dollars is international airport, which is just on the 9 kilometers away. on my one command on is head of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies. he says the attacks are likely to beat retaliation for the who the rebels territorial losses in yemen. we know that these have been trying actually to control both matted and shut up in

order to make a breakthrough in the fight against the forces of a turn president article and sort of how do they and international then it internationalize and government of popped up on sort of how deep now with these, the last more than $30000.00 of their own groups over the boss over the boss eve. and we all know, actually they have been, they have not been actually making any progress on the concept. somehow it's, it's a revenge against us now that the whole, these have been talking to saudi arabia, nations for the past 3 years, the major a more serious one was the absence of number 2019 when the actually without how sound good idea production. but also there was another instance of this, this about the 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 annoying and knowing that the actual market, not everybody actually is, is trying to have 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, by the whole, these continue united states is appealing to the un security council to strengthen sanctions against north korea off to testify its biggest intercontinental ballistic missiles, washington, it will introduce a new resolution to the security council. james, to stop young from engaging in the further provocations. houston salumi has the latest from the un headquarters in new york. 4 years ago, the un security council unanimously decided to bring sanctions against north korea for a missile launch. the most recent launch of an even more powerful missile happened on the very day the council was due to meet, to extend the mandate of the experts who oversee compliance with that sanctions

regime. needless to say, the escalation was not well received by council members, but this is a much more polarized counsel than the one we saw in 2017. the united states announced it would be introducing an even tougher sanctions resolution in response . china blame the u. s. for failing to engage. ken, john, she'll only told you that we were hoping that the u. s. would actively pursue dialogue and engagement in search of an effective solution to manage and settle the differences that alas, we did not see. regrettably days and months elapsed while irrelevant party failed to take tangible, practical actions in response to the dpr kays justified concerns other than speaking about, quote, unquote talks without preconditions offering sanctions relief. without substantive diplomatic progress would only final more reb revenue to the regime and accelerate the realization of his w, m. d, in ballistic weapons goals. it also sends the wrong message to other

w deep proliferate ers, that the security council will wrote, reward them for repeatedly, undermining the non proliferation regime. meanwhile, the sanctions regime has undeniably restricted the dpr, kays unlawful weapons advancements. so now is not the time to end our sanctions adding to concerns in addition to the mis a launch, the 13th and the last year the united nations warned that north korea is again pursuing a nuclear program, evidence of activity at a previously closed site. ah, this is al, just.
