of fuel storage facility still burning. smoke still covering the skies over levine, the capital ukrainian say may be the heart of the country, but loveth, with nearly 800 years of history and cultural heritage, is it? so we verse and i thought that they will not touch with your grade because they were targeted mostly to the issue grantee event. genevieve and evicted is in the for either now they, i am taking it characters hot of your grade. you're going wasn't supposed i think it's terrible. we didn't come here from cave to hear bombings swore it's real war. it's terrible. really because people are dying. all our seat is perfect. it is beautiful. it is no destroyed. it's time to stop with it

because 21st century. what can we say about more? there is outrage here. ukrainian say they feel betrayed by russia and despise vladimir putin on national. could you look woman than that? but they are the anti christ. ukraine is never attacked anyone while they doing this, they don't need the people or land, they don't need anything. all they have is their meaningless ambitions. it's just horror blood deck and despair. the rule of a wild hoard, the tiny gray man has done a lot of black, horrible evil. he's a beast. the west of the country has seen some high profile attack since the russian invasion began. but levine was spared the worst of the violence. warning sirens likely to be taken more seriously. now loud, such and explosions have shattered the relative calm that levine had been experiencing throughout this war. so far,

we've just heard reports that the target of the attack from which the smoke is emanating was a fuel depot. on the other side of the city, levine has been at the center of the country's humanitarian response to the war. the wider region has also been key as a military hub. moments before the 1st attack reign, we met with the cities mayor. he says he speaks to his counterparts coping with the destruction of their own cities every day. to day all city in ukraine a how very now seem would our situation, i dont know ways ah target or next russian missile. but my air, my, my duty dis, security, my citizens and a, the safe of for refugees. a job made more difficult with attacks within levine, city limits. as night came more missile

strikes, hitting more targets. this is the closest, the war has come to the center of the city, an escalation that brings the war right to the heart of levine. well, just across the board or in the polish capital, the u. s. president pull no punches against vladimir putin. joe biden said the russian president cannot stay in power any longer. comments that drew criticism from moscow. whitehouse downplayed those remarks. biden also said rushes war on ukraine has been a strategic failure. and i white house correspondent, kimberly how could, has this report not from wasa? speaking from the grounds of the royal castle in warsaw, poland u. s. president joe biden forcefully declared, russian president vladimir putin must go for god's shape. this man can not remain power. it sounded like a major shift in us policy. previously, us officials,

including the secretary of state antony blacken, have denied the united states is seeking regime change in russia. from this location on nato's eastern flank, biden also addressed the russian leader directly calling his invasion as strategic failure and warning him not to expand the conflict. don't even think about, we're not one single inch of nato territory. river saker obligation article far to defend each and every age made our territory before forced more collective power. earlier in the day as biden met with poland, president, he reiterated as a member of nato, the u. s. and his partners will defend poland if it's attacked. poland shares more than 500 kilometer border with ukraine already. more than 4000000 people have fled

ukraine, with more than half seeking refuge in poland. as bitin met with mothers at a makeshift refugee center set up in warsaw national stadium, he reiterated his belief that the russian president is a war criminal for allegedly targeting civilians. you're dealing every day with let him report look at what he's under the speaker. what does it make you think he's a butcher? also on saturday, biden met with the ukrainian defense and foreign ministers who had made a rare trip out of ukraine. bite and pledged support for ukraine sovereignty and characterized its resistance as a battle for freedom that may be a long fight. the white house denies president biden was calling for regime change in russia, but instead says he was arguing that latimer prudent cannot be allowed to exercise power over the region. still, biden's message was unmistakable,

that russia's war and ukraine is a battle for democracy. the free world must fight. kimberly hell can al jazeera warsaw. the kremlin spokesperson has responded to biden's remarks that the mer putin can't stain power, saying only the russian. people can decide that president. earlier the countries defense ministry said russia had weakened ukraine's armed forces nationwide. i shipped a whole barra as the latest from moscow since day. one of them is to oppression in ukraine. russia has been saying that it is acting to provide protection for the population of del bus region. and he seems that his military operation now is for his immortal, in those areas to pave the way for the forces loyal to them to further expand air territorial gains in la ganske antonietta areas. now, as the conflict continues, relations be a bit with the us and russia continue to be strained. their recent remarks made by

a u. s. present joe biden. very critical of president vladimir putting a, created a black backlash here, or russian nurse spokesperson of the kremlin mitre pasco, of said that those remarks won't be conducive to narrow differences between the 2 countries. and it won't help to mend the fences of russia has over the last few days and summoned the u. s. ambassador to moscow and express the same concern about similar remarks made by her president joe biden, or from a russian perspective. those remarks, along with the herd was military support provided for the ukrainians. the sanctions imposed on the financial institutions works of art in russia. r y d interpreted here as an attempt to silence her and further isolate a russia. this explains why most of the officials are talking to the media are

saying that this is something which will only ultimately help consolidate our identity and bring the russians united. and they say that there is a western narrative which is misleading. according to russia, which does not a characterize the conflict, the way it is supposed to be. ukraine and russia have agreed on opening 10 humanitarian corridors. spot people in my uncle have to use their own means of transport to escape the besieged city. him on con, has the details. the russians of their craniums have negotiated 10 humanitarian corridors to be opened on saturday. one of those is in the besieged city of murray . awful. but what we're hearing is it's very difficult for residents to get to the edge of the city and to that humanitarian corridor and get out because there is still intense selling going on. we're also hearing that the russians have not allowed bus drivers to take people in large number out of the city using coaches.

instead, people are having to you to use their own private cars to get out which limits are the numbers of people that can actually leave. now humanitarian car, those do work both ways. and the ukranian side, there is a problem still trying to get aide in to marry awful, an aide into that city, but also in other humanitarian corridors, particularly in the keep old last the key region. we're hearing that at least one town away, a humanitarian corridor as been opened, there is constant shilling, one resident of that sound said he was trying to leave. you wanted to leave, but there was an intense sheylan going on, and he couldn't get out the city. this has been a constant complaint by the ukranian authority say that every time they negotiate his humanitarian corridors, russia doesn't abide by the sci fi. they've said this publicly, they say this privately, they've been saying saying this for

a very long time now. and it seems to me that at least in today's humanitarian corridor, in one of those towns, we're hearing that the shelling is still continuing. now to our other headline story, the conflict in yemen who see rebels are saying there suspending missile and drone strikes on saudi arabia for 3 days. the group says it's part of a push for a lasting commitment to peace in the 7 year war. norbish jacqueline, nor had the, we unilaterally announce the suspension of missile and john strikes and all military actions towards the kingdom of saudi arabia, by land, but see and hear you for a period of 3 days. we affirm our readiness to turn this declaration into a final firm and permanent commitment. if the king of saudi arabia announces and commits itself to ending the siege and stopping its errors on the territory of the republic of yemen once and for all your well, this comes a day after the rebels hit an aramco oil facility in jetta. it's about 11

kilometers from the location where the city is hosting the formula. one grand prix . they also targeted areas close to king abdullah z, his international airport. the saudi coalition carried out air strikes in odessa, in retaliation, who these se oil installations in the strategic port city were targeted. coalition fighter planes also bombed parts of the jamini capital. so now these are scenes of the aftermath inside are where at least 8 people were killed. who they say the coalition air strikes, hit a power plant, a fuel supply station, and the state run social insurance office. they claim un officials using a building near the insurance office left hours before the coalition operation. ah, the spike in violence, due thousands to the streets of san are protesting against the conflict. more than 150000 people have been killed since fighting began in 2014

was still ahead on al jazeera o. protests in afghanistan with verses decisions for girls and shifting temperatures in antarctica will tell you why experts are sound and the alarm record. no ice levels. ah hello, there has been a much quieter weather picture of north america now that those severe storms have rolled off for the east. now behind it, we've had some cool air blow down from central parts of canada, knocking temperatures down in that southeast corner and bringing some wintry and

wet weather across the great lakes. look at the temperature in toronto minus 2 on sunday. now to the south west, we've had record heat and places like california where the drought conditions continue. there is going to be some a welcome, wet weather moving in by the time we get to sunday. and if we have a look at the 3 day full los angeles, that's going to knock some of the warm thought by monday, the rain continuing possibly on tuesday. now we have still got a bit of a wintry mix pulling in across western parts of canada. but of course, central and southern areas, it is going to warm up, houston seen the temperature at $27.00 degrees, lots of heat here, and some fire hazard conditions for northern areas of mexico. that heat does pull down. we've got above average temperatures in places like monterey, it's west, down in the south. we'll see some heavy rain pulling to belize by the time we get in some monday for the caribbean. rain clears out across hispaniola, leaving behind lots of heat in havana. that sure weather update.

ah, with frank assessments, what are the political risks? robotic russian oil gas for western leaders will sanctions on russian energy exports. recipe was informed opinions. france is not abandoning to fight against jetty, still resumed media debt going to be attaching from lisa and from chad. critical debate. could china actually help in russia's invasion of ukraine in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera? ah ah!

you're watching al jazeera, a reminder about top stories this out. ukraine's at western city of the viv has been hit by russian missiles. officials say the strikes of significantly damaged city infrastructure. it is just 70 kilometers from the polish border and the major hub of fleet. and craniums u. s. president joe biden says, russia's warn ukraine has been a strategic failure speaking and i went into biden, drew criticism from moscow off, he commented, russian, president, putin cannot remain humans. luthey rebels say they're suspending. miss holland drone strikes on saudi arabia for 3 days. at least 8 people were killed off to coalition air strikes, hit the capitals u. s. president joe biden is on his way back to washington after consulting with allies in europe on stepping up support for ukraine. and putting more pressure on russia to 0 different together to james

base. take stock of how much was accomplished. these are the images, the white house would have wanted from this trip, projecting unity among allies, solidarity with ukrainians and military strength. but what has the trip actually achieved? let's examine the 3 objectives that had brussels president biden said. could have now been met. first was to support ukraine with military and humanitarian assistance. that aid has been substantial, but presidents lensky made it clear. it was still not enough lived in dimensions with the stock. if you have at least 20000 tanks. ukraine asks for just one percent of all your tanks, give to us or sell to us, but we do not have a clear answer yet. minimum focus yesterday, the 2nd was to impose the most significant, most significant sanctions, economic sanction regime ever in order to cripple putting economy and punish him

for his actions, it breaks my heart again though the sanctions don't goes far as ukrainians would like. prisons. lensky won't. europe to stop all imports of russian, oil and gas, or the 3rd was to 45 eastern fine of our nato allies who were obviously very, very concerned, and somewhat worried. what would happen. a former senior nato official says many extra forces have been deployed very quickly, but that now needs to be turned into a permanent presence. of course, no worries, i'm going and you need to have more long term oral, certainly medium term adaptations. and that's what you know, the summit extra time. it was about that the revolves, we will know, and they feel like conclusions we'll find out during this time. it in my drifts that nato summit in madrid in june lightly the next time that president biden is in europe. by then, it should be clear whether the aid the allies have given which full short or what

president and ski once was enough for his country to withstand the russian onslaught. james bay's al jazeera brussels, or william courtney as a junk senior fellow at rand corporation. he served as a white house senior director for russia, ukraine under region affairs. he joins us from swanton maryland, so thank you very much indeed for joining us here on al jazeera. well firstly, what do you make of present biden's comments today regarding the putin tenure in power? so it's pretty clear that as president biden spread out, this war has been a strategic failure for russia and then increases the possibility that put on his senior military leaders. senior political leaders may be held accountable by the russian people. so when the president said this man cannot remain in power, what do you seem to imply was that given the strategic failure of the military

front with truly devastating economic sanctions? the west is imposing, which day by day, week by week are going to have power for faction, russia, and the prior status. the russia has earned in europe or a place of special interest. most russians. those factors together increase the likelihood that there could be regime change in moscow. that's uncertain, one can never predict, but it will occur or when or how it will occur. but certainly in the last 30 years of russia's modern and test situation where criminal has never looked less stable than it does now. well, given what you say and regardless of how likely or unlikely would be for that in the future, to lose power. do you think that nato would be considering what the landscape would look like without him? well, the without him is the key issue. so if he were replaced by another person who

was so similar to him, had similar policies and wanted to keep russia. so troops in your grade are the western economic sanctions would stay on force and the russian economy would continue to deteriorate. so whatever new government comes to power, if it plans to be lasting government, it really needs to shake off the western sanctions. and that means pulling all the troops out of ukraine. the west is not likely to lift our sanctions until all troops are out of ukraine. and how successful do you think president biden has been when it comes to uniting his western eyes on this trip? will recall that in the afghan, withdraw in the summer that the u. s. took that decision without fully consulting with allies, a number of the allies disagreed. there's a lot of criticism, and then of course, which row of people from afghanistan did not go so well. this time by demonstration,

seems to have learned the lesson. it is consulted, baby, consult with more than ever with european allies and the european allies and the united states are all the same. the same point, if you will do euro p and countries see the russian advantage and as a direct front to europe and values that europeans whole dear. so i think from the standpoint of europe in america, these sanctions have come together quickly. as president said today, a swift powerful and unified responses what the west is delivered. a big success. some says, this is kind of like a success. the president george h. w. bush delivered in the early period right after the soviet collapse were early ninety's. when we, all the allies were together,

unified and the leadership of the alliance was something that has a bush received a lot of praise for. okay, william courtney, adjunct senior fellow at rand corporation, thank you for those in such or coming together for ukrainian cultures. the war rages around them, musicians in hot kids have performed a concert for those sheltering in the cities, subway station. oh brains. second largest city has been under heavy fire from motion forces for weeks . many residents have been taking cover in the underground station at night. the concert marks what would have been the storm to hawkins and music festival? she would, amid the darkness surrounding us, now it's extremely important to show that there are eternal values and future in our country. that our country is melodious, beautiful, chris, intellectual and will overcome all these difficulties. but i've got some other

stories. now. a group of afghan women and girls have marched and cobbled to demand the right to go to school. ha. the government closed all the schools early. this week i was after i had opened for the 1st time, more than 7 months since returning to power in august, the taliban has undone some of the progress made by the past 2 decades. i can't get enough to tell him, i must reopen go schools because women are half a society. the taliban cannot repress the women of afghanistan. it was johnson emptied them. seligman generation will be restricted from their right to education and literacy. there is no legal, religious, or logical justification for banning the women of afghanistan from education or from political and social structures. for zia, kofi is a former deputy speaker of the afghan parliament. she says the international

community must take notice of what's happening in afghanistan. i hope the international pressure will continue because i think some sort of on intern cobble they have received a lot of you know, protocol on attention by the wall. i money in the international community try to make the situation norman, and try to have an optimistic approach for the situation. the father, son, with the hope that things would change positively, especially when it comes to the woman and goes right on to inclusive a t under presentation of all in the power structure. but we know that over time that optimism changed to disappointment, especially it happened when the taliban actually turned back on guys from doors of the schools. literally. this was the biggest for, for all of us on the 23rd of march to see god going to school. and we saw all those heartbreaking images of god's being the turning, you know, from the doorsteps of your schools to the,

to the home. it actually disappointed innovation to become more requests of and we know lately to have not only stop goes from education, but also they have the you to be in the house conducting house. i'd be to that he detention. c against human rights, are you the principal? so i think it won't matter. gave with what a political dialogue which will result establishment of abroad made acceptable government. we need to talk on the political prices in about us on anything else. now the u. s. president special envoy for climate change, john kerry says he's optimistic about achieving the targets needed to control global warming in glasgow. we proved through all the things that we did getting 65 percent of global g d. p. committed to real plans that could achieve point 1.5 degree limit which fatty barrel and the i was just in paris with him.

and, and they have reaffirmed that if everybody does what they promised to do in paris, we could actually hold the, or as temperature to 1.8 degrees by 2050. but despite that optimism, climate change is causing unusual weather, which is affecting ice shells in antarctica. record low sea ice there has led to the collapse of the congo ice shelf, which is 1200 square kilometers. it was revealed in a satellite image taken on march 17th, or stefan singer is the senior climate science and global energy policy advisor to climate action network international. he says, ice sheet collapses, could raise sea levels by up to 2 meters. by the end of this century. the are those, the ones happen? increasingly, unpredictably was extreme weather ones and particular record temperatures. we have in the arctic her, which is the coldest continence on the planet temperatures,

which are usually well under 0 degree, we're temperatures that were higher, 20 degrees higher celsius than there were usually since 2 weeks. that's and that's, that's not recorded before. and we have seen this in the world, we have seen this in the arctic as well. the other region was some launch glacial i sheets. and what we're seeing is that the increased melting of the existing ice on the ground, the continent plus the i shelves, which are not necessarily glacial ice. if that's a difference or collapsing increasingly becoming fragile. i'm mighty roach and increase further and trigger further melting. so the dynamics on the glacial um dynamics um that is what the scientists call potentially irreversible changes. so if that carries on, then we will see not only increased sea level rise,

which was, which was already increasingly an exponential way in the last 2 struby case. not linearly assigned to set projected earlier and be might see sea level royce or sea level rising globally. why up to 2 meters by the year, 2100, which is the death penalty for many low lying island states and coastal cities. ah, this is out as era. these are the top stories ukraine's at western city of it has been hit by russian miss house. officials say the strikes have significantly damaged city infrastructure. the viv is just 70 kilometers from the polish border and a major hub for fleeing ukrainians. u. s. president joe biden says russia's warren . ukraine has been a strategic failure. speaking in poland to biden, to quit.
