really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture. it's your personal united states. you seriously go to walk and through gum at the same time, your weekly pay on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. ah ukrainian negotiators arrive in istanbul had have peace talks with russia for the 1st time in 2 weeks. a say their main priority is to secure a ceasefire in ukraine. ah, hello, i'm mary. i'm to missouri in london here with al jazeera, also coming up on the program is ridiculous. nobody believes really take down. i've really was talking about take you down to you as president under pressure. joe

biden is forced to defend it. comments he made about russia's vladimir putin calls for a complete evacuation from murray. awful, a city on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. the landmark meeting in the desert, israel shakes hands with 4 arab states to send a message to iran. ah, ukraine, in russia negotiations of arrived in istanbul, head of a new round of peace talks for the 1st time in 2 weeks. ukrainian team says it's focused on securing sci fi up earlier, present, laudermill, zalinski indicated as countries you travelers, he could possibly be on the table if it could result in an immediate end to the war . but for now, moscow's ruled out face to face talks between the ukrainian and russian leaders. meanwhile, inside ukraine itself, roches advance appears to have ground to

a halt on several fronts. rob mcbride begins our coverage. russia is continuing its attacks on defense facilities across ukraine, including fuel depos with this site in the western city of looks. getting hit overnight with torps expected to start between the 2 warring sides ukraine's president vladimir lensky has struck a conciliatory tone. he seems to accept russia's military presence in some parts of ukraine in some form as part of any deal. yup. when you must, would he bullshit it today? i understand it's impossible to make russia give up completely. that will lead to world war 3. i understand completely, i'm aware you're, he's also confirmed, he is willing to consider ukrainian neutrality in the future. provided president putin pulls back his forces on ukraine's western border with poland as relative

order. after the chaotic exit this of refugees in recent weeks, in the early days of the conflict with tens of thousands of people leaving ukraine every day. this was one of the busiest crossings with people lining up for a whole day just to get across into poland. the numbers of people leaving has declined significantly, and there's also now been an increase in people coming the other way. the rear is coming back from the czech republic after leaving her home town in easton, ukraine. that's now occupied by the russians. yeah. which was those me show of you . i decided to come back because my husband and it's very hard to be away. i was said much emotionally on this project. you both left the eastern city of denise pro daily 2 weeks ago, but he's now returning goal. so the morning such mind me with some so basically if i'm coming back to check on my mother and see what the situation is like,

my daughter is 14 and i've left it with my older daughter in poland. any peace talks are likely to include the future of the bitterly contested coastal strip from russian controlled crimea, to the breakaway eastern regions in the dumbass presidents lensky has revealed. he is in regular contact with troops in the besieged city of mary paul and seems to accept they face overwhelming odds. yes, we choose to just we, i tell them if you fail, you need to live in the right thing to do it. but he also says so far, his soldiers have refused to given robert bride al jazeera, the vive, la mayor of her town near kiev. that scene, heavy fighting says equating forces every taken it. european sits on the western outskirts of kev. it's seen heavy shelling and fighting as russian troops pushed towards the capital. around 60000 people lived in europe and before the invasion.

many of them though, have fled off to russia, started shelling the town. the mayor is saying the situation remains dangerous. the reports of fighting on a strategic road and then work as the equation noble nuclear plants. a russian soldiers disturbed highly toxic radioactive dust. when they took control of the site, russian forces drove ahmed vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic zone called the red forest. one worker said it was suicidal for the soldiers because the dust a inhale was likely to cause internal radiation damage. allen, mayor of mary o pal is saying a complete evacuation is needed as the cities on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. about a $160000.00 civilians are made trapped in the besieged port city. the equating deputy prime ministers saying no new humanitarian corridors are open because of reports of possible provocations along the routes. russia has deny targeting civilians, and the inspector general is again called for an immediate cease fire in the

country on time. good terrorist is saying it will help russia and ukraine find a political solution. the solution to this humanitarian tragedy is not you, mediterranean, it is political. i am therefore appealing for an immediate you many darian ceasefire to allow for progress seems serious political negotiations. a mean get reaching a disagreement based on the principles of united nations chart. the a cessation of hostilities will allow, is central humanitarian aid to be delivered. and the label civilians to move on safely. the latest round of peace negotiations are expected to begin to morrow. in turkey, negotiators from care arrived in istanbul a short time ago while their russian counterparts landed earlier in the day, ukraine's foreign minister demitra clayborne sang his most ambitious goal for this week is to agree a ceasefire. the kremlin says it's important that talks be held face to face despite the slow progress in negotiations so far,

but to the turkish present regime typo on his hosting. these talk says there are some positive signs each allah, a dish does. hopefully, russian and ukrainian delegates who are leading talks on c spy and piece talks will, may took in tomorrow in the stand bowl. we will get together with delegates and make them briefly ahead of the meeting. i can say that the telephone traffic we're carrying out with mister putin and mister zalinski as advancing on a positive direction. so all moscow has dismiss presence, lance, he's cool for a one on one meeting with putin as part of that process marcia's formula. so gallagher of says, the suggestion is that premier chair, once there's also, and you can then yes, guzzles, president, putin has not refused a meeting with presidency lensky. he just wants the meeting to be concrete. ukrainian crisis is proving for so long that it's counter productive. we're just meet an exchange premium squeezes they offered to have negotiations, which are continuing to resume in a stumble,

and we are interested in the results and all the development he was present. joe biden submitted it more than 5 trillion dollar budget pines congress calling for record piece time military spending and further aid for ukraine. biden was also questioned about his comment in warsaw that rushes about him. a person cannot remain in power, he said, reflected his own moral outrage rather than a policy shift by his administration. are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that america is back? if some of the big things that you say on the world stage keep getting was back the much getting walk back. it may sound like just in the last couple days it sounded like you told us truth. they were going to ukraine. it sounded like you said it was possible, the us would use a chemical weapon and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in russia and we know none of the 3 occurred. none of the 3 know the 3. you interpret the

lying reason that way i was talking to the troops were talking about helping train the troops in that are the ukrainian troops that are in poland. that's the context i sat there with those guys for a couple hours. that's what we talked about. so when you said you're going to be when you're there, you are not intending, referring to with be with in talking with the ukrainian troops or in poland. and when you said a chemical weapon used by russia would trigger a response in time. it will show your significant response. what does that mean? i'm not going to tell you. why would i tell you, you got to be silly. world wants to know. i want to know law things. i'm not telling them what the response would be then. then russia knows the response i'm going to take 2 more questions. 12. mm hm. and i still want to get back to your original words that he cannot remain in power. can you help us understand?

you have more foreign policy experience than any president who has ever held this office. whether those are your personal feelings or your feelings as president, you understand why people would believe you, as someone commanding one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, saying someone cannot remain in power, is a statement of us policy. and also, are you concerned about propaganda? use of those remarks by the russians? no, and no. tell me what you have so much experience. you are the leader of this country, as is ridiculous. nobody believes we're going to take down. i was going to, i was talking about taking the output. nobody would believe that number one, number 2, what have i been talking about off says this all began the only war. there were some one attended as one that's on attendance. the last thing i want to use engage in a land war, a nuclear war with russia as not part of it. i was expressing my outrageous behavior, this man. it's outrageous,

it's outrageous. and it's more an aspiration. i mean, he shouldn't be in power. there's no, i mean the people like this shouldn't be rural and countries, but they do a fact they do. but i mean, i can't express my outrage about it. displaying the letter that to show support for russia's war in ukraine could become a criminal act in germany. dominic cane reports on this story now from german capital berlin. for many in russia, this letter has become symbolic of what their government calls a special military operation in crane seen on many of their armored vehicles. it's used as an identifying mark to differentiate it from others another because to many in the rest of the world, the letter has become a symbol of aggression. and in some e u countries, for example, lithuania, there is growing concern about how the civil could be used or misused in germany to their calls, to outlaw those who display the lesser with the intent to glorify aggressive war

laws that banned such behavior do already exists with nazi era symbols like the swastika and the letters s s prohibited. now several german states are saying they intend to prosecute any one who displays the letter that in the same way, dominant cane al jazeera berlin, said i have for you on the program as in workers vote on whether to become a union hoping it delivers best of pay and conditions. ah, and the oscar moment it'll go down in hollywood history. well, smith strike canadian, chris rock. ah .

hey there. welcome sir. worlds weather update. we're going to begin in southeast asia. nice this year. we've had some downpours of rain for west java not too far away from jakarta, 153 millimeters over 24 hours. that's almost a month's worth of rain. now here's the situation. on tuesday we got rain and some thunderstorms for bank are coachman city, call them poor singapore and jakarta, with the high 33 degrees now to southern sections of china. more rain developing its slinging further toward the north, falling across the river valley and for northern areas of china. we've got rain snow combo for harbor with this weather maker, and it's also kicked down the temperature in beijing to 13 degrees. could see some life threatening flash flooding in australia in this zone rate here. so we're talking about northern new south wales, the southeast of queensland, about a months worth of rain in the span of a few hours. the same area, for example, liz, more just a few weeks ago saw historic flooding. then after the west, what was tropical cyclone charlotte given us a feed of rain and wind for western australia. this is much needed moisture. many

parts of western australia had been parched. landorf in new zealand. this pesky system still given us some showers for the escape. that includes gives bin with a height of $22.00 degrees. that's a snapshot of your brother, susan. ah, witnessed this frieda, witness slavery, witness people, witness how well with prejudice with oh,

a come back. i look at the main stories this now and, and i just round of negotiations. it's used to begin on tuesday in turkey. the go changes are marsha and ukraine of arrived in a stumble, ukrainian 4 minutes to meet your labors saying that his most ambitious goal for this week is to at least try and agree a ceasefire. while sharing an attack on defense facilities. continuing inside your crime, your general secretary has appealed for an immediate humanitarian sees far in the country and target tara said it would help get a to where it's needed and our space of progress and finding a political solution. and then germany is considering making the lessons that to show support for rushes, ward ukraine and criminal act that has been used as

a symbol on russian ministry vehicles in the conflict. and it's been adopted by protested in russia and in other countries, close to 4000000 refugees are estimated to have left ukraine since the war began. volunteers from around the world have been traveling to neighboring countries. places like poland, health care for them for this can be i'll get reports from the medical border crossing that's creating its own set of problems. safety is but on a police show is searching for. she's just stepped into poland after fleeing the city of potomac. she's traveled by train, bus and foot for days with her 8 and 11 year old son and daughter. they're out of danger for now. still, she has little idea where they'll go from here. i hope to england hope we have friends from church and they invited us and they, we will stay in their houses and hope you will get to these us and be saved there.

i'm a story of like thousands, who've also fled from ukraine, is border crossing and modica poland is in chaos. it's a haphazard 10th city made up of patchwork of international non profit groups, aid workers, and private individuals who've arrived in poland from all over the globe. yeah, then are you presenting the country? they're building the humidity because you're human. that's why the her what greeks, these exhausted refugees is a cluttered and confused group of mostly well meaning individuals. their donated aid is practical and sometimes indulgent. but there's little coordination. one of the big reasons that poland has absorbed the majority of refugees coming from ukraine isn't just because of its proximity. it's also because of the refugees necessity. many are coming by foot. and up until now, this has been the only pedestrian crossing from the border,

trusting refugees pile into buses that take them 5 kilometers away to an abandoned distribution warehouse. children are often alone as their confused parents search for help. but even the volunteers aren't sure who's running the relief operation looks like people may want to help, but we don't know how to help me. they'll know what to do. it's like a no thick mix. no plan was like go no little chaotic, chaotic. a lot local authorities admit, no one is checking to see those showing up are who they say they are. and they say, it's not their responsibility to check. it said the she, dolly bubbles got up. this is just the reception center. this region is only temporary, only a few people stay here and they are leaving. that leaves refugees to wander, assembling a plan most have given little thought to their next chapter,

and soon discover they fled an immediate threaten ukraine, only to encounter a new one. kimberly how kit out to 0. modica poland bull street journal is reporting 3 people who are talks between ukraine and russia early this month might have been poisoned after a meeting in care of russian oligarch, roman of rama, which in 2 ukrainian negotiators supposedly suffered symptoms consistent with chemical agents investigative website belin, cat says it has confirmed the 3 delegates illness out there. as joan hall is following a story from london. belling cat has developed a pretty sturdy reputation for it's open source forensic investigations and reporting online. the organization. as you said, they're reporting alongside the wall street journal on this saying that it had been in touch with potentially even commissioning it that's implied, but not entirely clear from what they wrote, commissioning chemical weapons experts to conduct both remote and on site

investigations at presumably at the location where these meetings might have taken place and that these experts have led belding cats to be able to confirm that on the night of the 3rd of march 3, individuals, 2 of them senior ukrainian negotiate is one of them roman abram, of which experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons, mr. brockovich is described by belin cat. as an entrepreneur, of course we know him better as the owner of chelsea football club, the russian billionaire, all the galks ought to have contacts on some level at least with the mere putin in the kremlin, the symptoms reportedly, according to belin, but in cath included, piercing pain in the eyes, one suggestion was that mr. brockovich may have lost his sight for a period of time that's unconfirmed, but also peeling skin on the faces of the hands for the wall street journal. adding

that the health condition of all 3 has since improved and that their lives were not in danger, are not in danger. and these chemical weapons experts going further saying the dosage and type of substance likely was insufficient to cause life threatening damage and was most likely intended to scare the victims with the wall street journal. adding that he believes they suspected attack was orchestrated by hard liners in russia who wanted to sabotage the talks. one of russia's most prominent independent newspapers has suspended publication after violating a new medial of i have as yet had previously removed material from its website to comply with guidelines. which for bit calling the invasion of war. the paper said it received another warning from the government on monday about it's reporting now, israel's foreign minister says, improving ties with arab nations will help counter threats from iran in the region . he was speaking landmark summit, and now gavin,

summon israel alongside ministers from for our countries and united states high force. it has more israel says it, but this summit together in a few days. nonetheless, it clearly wanted to convey maximum symbolism and significance in the desert. kibbutz once home to israel's 1st prime minister, david ben graham, the foreign ministers of egypt, bahrain morocco, and the u. e. along with the u. s. secretary of state espoused friendship and shared goals. 43 years ago when egypt and israel made peace. unfortunately, we lost those 43 years of knowing each other better of working together and of changing the narrative that many generations of israel ease and arabs had been living very israel's foreign minister said this 1st meeting would become a permanent for him. but he also advanced goals for the here and now this new

architecture, the shared capabilities we are building, intimidates, and deters. i'll common enemies 1st and foremost, iran and its proxies. oh, there was shed condemnation of an attack on sunday by suspected i so linked gunman that killed 2 is really security forces personnel on the widest security picture. the u. s. secretary of state stuck to his script. not bending to israel's opposition to a revived iran nuclear deal, or he did though, raised the palestinian aspiration for statehood to real. these regional disagreements are not a substitute for progress between palestinians and israelis. one of the issues we discussed today was how countries involved in the abraham accords and normalization, as well as those that have a long standing diplomatic relationship with israel can support the palestinian authority in the palestinian people in concrete ways. that was echoed by the arab foreign ministers most explicitly by egypt. the united are during these discussions

. so we did highlight the importance of the israeli palestinian peace process, the importance of maintaining the credibility and the viability of the 2 state solution that of, for israel add up in the city and state to live side by side in peace. there with the recognized borders for the city and state in accordance with the 67 lions with east jerusalem as its capital, the palestinian leadership. however, such words are just that words. they see this entire summit in this place as an undermining of their cause for sovereignty and independence. the palestinian prime minister focused on what was happening inside israel. religion, why he attack won't be valid that they shall come by a sharp arab normalization meetings without ending the israeli occupation of palestine or just an illusion, a mirage, and a free reward for israel. ah, palestinian president, meanwhile, had his own diplomacy to conduct welcoming jordan's king abdullah to ramallah on

a mission to con, tensions ahead of ramadan. every force it al jazeera, southern israel, in to ever him is in ramallah in the west bank and has more on what palestinians thoughts about the summit. very few people we spoke to, he had end. i'm not even know that there is a some, it's ongoing in the negative. some of them heard the top for his off king that the love, the 2nd, the riving here and i'm a lot. but there is a sense of despair. they don't believe that this diplomacy is working on this. they see tangible resolve on the ground. palestinian authority wants a peace process that's and the israel and the occupation is also disappointments in the streets. many palestinians say that they feel that the world is sympathizing with the crane, but they're not showing the same sympathy with the palestinian people who have been under occupation for decades. they say that they want to see the world world israel accountable when it comes to its crime against the palestinians. vote counting has

started in the usa of alabama, where amazon work is deciding whether to join a union if successful, it could become the 1st amazon site in the us to unionize john andrew of what's from bessemer, alabama. the amazon workers votes now being tallied, we'll decide whether organized labor can make a comeback in the heart of the anti union south. the vote counting that began on monday marks a 2nd battle between a corporate behemoth and pro union activists in bessemer, alabama. employees rejected joining the retail wholesale in department store union last year, but the national labor relations board rule that amazon unfairly influence the outcome and called for a do over election. that's in part because the company set up a mailbox, it looked like a voting booth giving some workers the impression amazon itself was running the election. we've turned a lot of nose into yes. is once they got the information. ah, that was more impactful to dallas. so yeah, the on board with the union's leaders,

goods store workers, seem empowered by the great resignation, the wave of workers leaving their jobs. during the pandemic, the company has been calling workers in for mandatory meetings to explain to them why they should not unionize. the company's perspective is that it works better with employees when it does so directly and not through a 3rd party. many pro union workers say when that happens, it's the company that sets the rules. one alabama worker was confident enough to take aim at amazon's billionaire owner, who also owns the blue origin space company. it's not really worth it to stay with the company who doesn't care about me as much as they care about. just be those going to the moon. it could take weeks to count up to 6100 ballots before it's clear. if workers here have opted to unionize and whether organize, labor can gain ground deep in the heart of dixie. john henderson, al jazeera bessemer, alabama. supreme court and on doris as authorize, the extradition of former present one, orlando hernandez to the united states or not as is wanted by
