elaborate has headed to new delhi for talks with his indian allies. india is one of the few countries that increase business with moscow since the invasion of ukraine and is a long term ally. it's refuse to condemn russia's actions and it's also abstained from un resolutions. this, the western products would like to reduce any meaningful international issue to the crisis in ukraine. you know, edition, we do not cite anything and we appreciate that engine is taking the situation in the entire affects not just one side. rails live have also said he hopes trade with india can bypass the use of the us dollar saying russian money was being stolen overnight. elizabeth veronica was more from new delhi. so gay laval said that for many years now that russia has been

working with india, with china, and with other countries to establish these alternate payment systems using national currencies for those reasons. because he said that it is not that western nations have not been reliable. and that this is now the time to intensify all of these efforts. and in fact, officials from the russian and indian central banks have been meeting this week to work on those alternate payment systems and how to use banks which are immune to us sanctions. so gala rove also spoke about what he described as a very close relationship and friendship with india. and he said that he appreciated india is what he called. and he is an independent foreign policy that they respect each other's mutual interests. and that sentiment really on the line, they discussions on friday, on regional and on international issues. and again said that with the west

imposing sanctions on russia that they are not bound. he said by the markets that they are open to looking at other markets to creating these are the markets and again that they are ready to sell are what ever indian needs. while the warren crane has been front and center of talks between china and the european union, brussels was prospering for assurances that it will neither supply russia with arms nor held moscow circumvent western sanctions. the virtual summit was also aimed of diffusing growing tensions between the 2 sites. today's summit was certainly not business. as usual. it took place in a very sober atmosphere. it took place against the backdrop of the russian war, still unraveling the in ukraine. and that's, it was good that we had a very open and very frank exchange today with president. then she and prime

minister leave. it was clear that this is not only a defining moment for our continent, but it is also defining moment for our relationship with the rest of the world. so many kane has more from berlin. you officials have says on the sidelines this summit that they are aware of the fact that the level of trade between china and russia and between china in the e. u. well, the trade with the u. dwarves, the trade with russia 10 times greater amount of hundreds of millions of dollars. the interesting thing is that now the summit is over. we've been hearing from, from the lion president to the european commission and also shawn, he said, the president, the european council president on the lion, has been saying that people need to realize that the world has moved on as a consequence of the war and ukraine. nothing will ever be the same as it was before, and the one that appoints that she call the president show we're trying to impress

upon the chinese government is that there needs to be an adherence to the rules based system on the line saying direct me to the media after this summit, that's the reality is the place for countries to resolve their differences is around the negotiation table. not on the battle front, on the battlefields, all eastern and northern ukraine. but the interesting thing is how much that will have been listened to since russia's invasion, more than 2000000 ukrainians have fled to neighboring poland, the mayor of warsaw is pleading for help. the capitals already struggling to cope and they potentially overwhelming. second wave of refugees is expected. kimberly, how can, how's more? ah, warsaw is a city under stress. within days of rushes, invasion of ukraine, the children of refugees started showing up at polish schools such as this one.

desperate for normalcy. some still in shock. no toys, belmont, blunted, her nagging dis, is a tragedy. the biggest problem isn't needing shoes or clothes is the psychological site. these children don't want to be in poland, demis their fathers, tonya, don't come across town at one of warsaw as busy as hospitals. the situations the same. every day on top of serving hundreds of polish patients, ukrainian refugees are showing up by the dozens of the sole bullet. often i got a value of the wolf. me usually it's infections. they also have all kinds of aches, muscle eggs, stomach aches, di, rear respiratory infections. sometimes they a bruised from travelling part of china. since the start of russia's war and ukraine, poland has absorbed roughly half of the 4000000 refugees that have fled. within weeks, warsaw saw it's 1800000 population swell by more than 20 percent overwhelming

city services. it's estimated there are more than $400000.00 ukranian refugees living in and around warsaw. they're drawn to the region because poland government has promised free education and health care for ukrainian refugees living in poland for up to 18 months. warsaw is barely managing. that's because there's no system for delivering these services on a mass scale. people ask me, what's the problem? there are no tense. there are no camps of refugees. yes, because they have been accepted to our homes. but if we have more and more and more and we have no strategy, then of course the system will break down and it will mean that we will be overwhelmed and that we are not going to be able to effectively hope all the refugees. warsaw mayor says the international community is providing assistance, but he wants the united nations to help manage the effort. so far,

poland government has refused. the mayor says he's not sure how much longer the city can cope. and the refugees who are currently being welcomed into warsaw may soon have nowhere to go. kimberly help get al jazeera warsaw, poland. port francis is apologize to canada's indigenous peoples following decades of child abuse and church runs schools. a 150000 indigenous children were taken from their families and forcibly sent to the residential schools mostly run by the catholic church, the canadian government amos to assimilate 1st nations anyway to message children into mainstream society. from 831 until the 1900 ninety's, at least 3200 children died in the schools. they were forbidden from speaking their native languages, sexual abuse, violence and neglect. were common. francis said,

what happened was deplorable. he pro okay, very cool. yeah, i feel sorrow and shame to the role that a number of catholics, particularly those with educational responsibilities, had in all these things that wounded you in the abuses you suffered. and in the lack of respect, shown, feel identity, your culture, and even your spiritual values. all this is contrary to the gospel of jesus. i ask forgiveness from god. and i'd like to tell you from the bottom of my heart that i am very pained and i joined my brother bishops from canada, in apologizing to you. at a rainy has more from the vatican city. here in saint peter's square, we saw the delegation come out right after that apology and they expressed a sense of accomplishment. i wouldn't call it necessarily joy, but they were happy with what they cheve the people we spoke to. and in fact, i'm joined by a member the delegation. now tanya stump,

she's from them not live with 1st nation in western canada. thank you for joining us, tanya. i was going to ask you, when you were in the room, when pope frances made that apology, what was your reaction? how did you feel? a lot of next feeling. lots of lots of different emotions. it's been a long time coming. a lot of our people have been wanting this for a long time. some don't want to accept it at all. and for me it's what's more about the acknowledgement. the acknowledgement is huge. it's interesting you say some people in your community and perhaps other 1st nation groups and other indigenous communities across canada, perhaps are interested in an apology. could you take us a little further with that? there was a lot of intergenerational impacts, a lot of healing that need to be done, a lot of destruction that happen so many people feel that an apology is not good enough. what would they want? more than an apology. i think the fact that he has said that he'll come to canada

is another really good positive step. and acknowledging the wrongs that were done a coal mine collapse and southern serbia has killed at least 8 workers. media reports say others were trapped underground. is the shaft caved in? releasing methane gas. these so coal mine has had several serious accidents in the past. an official investigation has been launched. china's largest city shanghai is shutting down as authorities to look to bring down numbers of co with 1900 infections. a locked down in the western half of the city begins on friday. an existing lockdown in the east has been extended. public transport has been cancelled, and all non essential businesses closed. the outbreak is effecting the country's economic output with factory production now, and it's lowest in 2 years. but there's better news in malaysia. the travel industry is back in business as borders are reopened. florence louis has more from

malaysia capital calling them for why 041 aid from after 2 long years of border cosy malaysia is welcoming back tourists from abroad. quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travelers are lifted from friday during 2 years. st. possible impact of both. i'm certainly very good ab open again. so yeah, for the 1st day and very happy to be melissa again. visitors still have to show a negative cove at 1900 test who's out before they leave their home nation and undergo another test on arrival. foreigners must also have travel insurance with a minimum value of $20000.00. travel agencies like this one have already seen a surge in the number of malaysians traveling overseas. after the government lifted a travel band last october. then now hoping they'll also be a boom and visitors from abroad request are there, but i think we have to wait a couple of more months to see whether or not they do materialized. and i think i

think part of it is that the government still has restriction imposed. so unless it's removed, i don't think tourism would really go back to prevent that. make time as fast as we expected to be. the tourism industry was badly hit when malaysia shut its borders in 2020, and domestic tourism was also affected when interstate travel was banned for much of last year. malaysia's transition to prepare for an endemic phase of corona virus also means other restrictions are being lifted. present religious activities can now be held without physical distances requirements, which means more like this one here can be filled to capacity. once again, is different when the thing in, during the different if you different, when you, even though congregational pile of this space in between, you will use different than the other. so the sort of laser reported
