citizens to russian held territory. now russia says that they went willingly. ukraine says they are hostages. zane bus ravi alta 0 live if russia has again been accused of foreign cluster munitions into civilian areas of these surveillance pictures show the moment the international airport in hockey was hit, ukraine's 2nd largest city has faced fierce bombardment since the start of the war . i said, beg reports from harkins. ah, this is the moment to rush and strike it 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 small, shrapnel and ball bearings shattered the windows leaving bullet like holes taken effect. it's alleged to russia is using cluster munitions. as a wallet, a few 100 meters away, we find evidence. they are right outside

a school. this rocket still in the ground for machine, you both one machine, you much al 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. well, it's funny. when i came out you see that cluster you're called, exploded down there on the pavement, which was on the order of shrapnel hit the building or la smashed the windows of the school. i dont know where it came from you from. i was in salesman law school, that's where the bomb exploded when we get there. or the near school is in there. there's no military in this area. it's residential or one of the impacts was here, right in the middle of the children's playground. and you can see the damage that's been done across this children's play area. conceit on the woods on the stairs,

but also look what it's done to the metal on this slide is cut straight through. no, no children were hurt. but this could have been fatal. we found these small pieces of metal scattered and lodged into the play space. lethal shrapnel that has no place in their residential area. let alone in a children's playground as that bag. i'll just ita, had keith. let's take a look now. the overall situation in ukraine. all areas in red are held by russian forces and the separatist allies or places where they've made significant advances . on thursday, russian troops reached the center of mario paul. 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 cave and china. if russia's foreign minister certainly love rob is accusing the west of declaring war on russia by trying to destroy its economy. she

would no, ma'am of yulu to day a real hybrid war. 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, strangle the russian economy, and russia as a whole. when alexi murphy off is a russia defense specialist, he says, russia is facing extremely tough choices. they have to re adjust the economy. they have to find alternative ways on how to restore some of the supply chains. they need to think about particles, particularly with their high end, a shortages of components that they were issued from the west, which obviously will have impact on the novel. they industries including the defense sector,

the foremost and the breathing space that the government and what is happening right now is the fact that the war did not generate a messy back fire. in the fact that in the majority of the russians, because if the majority of the rush and steel cannot leave really all this lives, these sanctions haven't really affected them yet as much as we perhaps anticipate that. and then back there has been a surge in popularity of food 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. and mom, the majority of conservative and nationalist russians, which obviously give a, give the kremlin and be the with breathing space. and they be the with a maneuvering space because right now they're, they're kind of concentration. they're propaganda on the blame game in the west. and it seems to be working because

a lot of russians blamed the west for the same sions, rather than blame the government for making them suffer is result of russia's 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 one of 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 tolerance compared with a western military is or western nation. so for the russians to take on heavy casualties, when they think they're doing is right, is something to be more acceptable. so we should also be mindful of that as well. of the u. s. president's has praised poland for taking in that more than 2000000 refugees 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. our white house correspondent kimberly help get reports from the capital warsaw,

invasion, because of ukraine's more than 500 kilometers shared land border with poland. more than 2000000 people have fled to the neighboring country, witching book gardena, but, but i see dear me to call, 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 accused russian president vladimir putin, of war crimes for targeting civilians in ukraine. quite frankly, because war but biding isn't just promising humanitarian assistance before departing, brussels and friday, the united states and european union announced

i'll jazeera moscow where look now at some other stories. humans who the rebels say they've hit several targets inside saudi arabia. a thick swim of black smoke was seen rising above the city of cheddar on the red sea coast. where saw the state oil giant aramco has several facilities. authorities confirmed that jetta and other areas were hit. several drones and miss halls were fired from human. and saudi led coalition has been fighting the who is indian and since 2015 has some of what a hootie spokesman had to say about the attacks. because of the unfair seizure that we are living in for 8 years, the year, many armed forces with the help of a law, whole mighty, had launched its operation with a group of wings and a ballistic marseilles and also drones or we have targeted our ram.

go positions and situations engender, and saudi arabia and other locations in re yard with a group of miss sales. also will find the real rasa to nora and other refinery. i've been targeted through our drones a let's now take a look at where those attacks took place in jetta. i 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 king abdullah says international airport, which is just on the 9 kilometers away. well, neville curry is a former u. s. diplomat and deputy chief of mission t. m and he joins us by skype from washington. d. c. thanks very much. indeed for joining us, sir. how serious and attacked you think this is when you consider the size and

importance of this oil facility? well, materially speaking, it doesn't cause enough damage to qualify as the head. but psychologically, it's certainly a head and the host. these are sending a message on this, the 7th anniversary of the war, launched by saudi arabia and the u. e. against them in 2015. and they're essentially saying our country is still under siege. we're still at war despite the peace conference that the gcc countries sponsored and which starts in on monday. so i think they're reacting to all this. they're also reacting to increased arm sales from the us, from the united kingdom,

from france to saw the and the u. e, and it's the show for strength to say that we can still head sensitive targets in your countries, despite all that assistance you're receiving from the west. yes, if they sent the targets, i mean, is there a why the significance to given the proximity of international airport and indeed not far from the venue of the coming formula? run one race i should say is timing significant? well, to some extent the, when, whenever they hit the targets that either installed a b, r b, it's a gas tourism and the countries that you can run a car races and international games as if nothing is happening while we are on the siege. and while we are being struck on a daily basis from there, so, so it's certainly alarms people who are visiting this area because they

never know when these rockets are going to hit. and what do you think the saudi response will be to this? well, this is the sad thing, is that this escalation on the who these are maybe sending a message, but unfortunately, i don't think it will get the response that we wish for. they would like the seizure on the i meant to be lifted. they would like a, a general ceasefire agreement, but i think one valuation from one side leads to retaliation from the other side. and i fear increased activity by both the u. e and saudi arabia in response to this latest attack. ok, no korea, thank you very much. indeed for john is here and for those in science now the u.

s. is a calling for stronger sanctions against north career after it test far this biggest intercontinental ballistic missile washington that will introduce the resolution to the un security council. adding to stop a further provocation from, from young kristen salumi reports from you. 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 tall gigi kagan, 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 funnel more reb revenue to the regime and accelerate the realization of his w, m. d, and ballistic weapons goals. it also sends the wrong message to other w, d. 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. now leaders of the block of west african states have announced a plan to restore democracy in countries overtaken by the military. after a day long echo us summit, they agreed to let marley's transitional government continue to rule. for up to 16 months. the block set a deadline of april 25th for guineas leaders to provide a transitional time table. they also demanded that the peanut fast, so military accelerates the transition to democracy. that isn't globally stealing them in the house, arrest in the sense. and they're the head off. did they consider that this is a totally unacceptable and that they are really assisting again that
