to put process before people and it won't cost ah, time of pending on august. ah, this is al jazeera ah, you're watching the news, our life from headquarters in ohio. navigate that's coming up in the next 60 minutes. the when general, if somebody suspends russia from the human rights council over a legit atrocities in ukraine, moscow says the vote is politically motivated. either you help us now and i'm speaking about days, not weeks for you help will come to late ukraine urgently asked

nathan for more arms as it prepares for a russian offensive in the pocket phones top court rules against prime minister iran con, rejecting his move to sidestep and no confident both by dissolving parliament. the us senate is voting right now to confirm cassandra brown, jackson to the supreme court making for the 1st block women on the top court. i'm john again with the tiger woods open to chase. we're sick, he's major title, returning to tallman, go for the 1st time in more than a year. at the massive the welcome to the news. our russ actions in ukraine have been rebuked by the un general assembly. so the world body has voted to suspend it from the human rights council. moscow is accused of human rights violations. and this follows the

discovery of dead civilians strewn through the streets of boucher where russian forces recently retreated from russia denies its troops are responsible, that's the life of christian salumi. joining us from the united nations. tell us more about the significance of the vote. kristen well, this is the latest attempt to isolate russia on the international stage for us, the civilian casualties end catastrophe playing out in ukraine. the united nations succeeded in suspending. the general assembly succeeded in suspending russia from the human rights council. the un body that charge of maintaining, promoting, preserving human rights around the world. but russia was perhaps not quite as isolated as the ukrainian backers might have hoped. the united states 1st called

for this move, saying that it was hypocrisy for russia to be on the council. given the abuses that we have seen in ukraine, united states has been very forthcoming and accusing russia of war crimes. russia describe this move as an attempt by the west to colonial eyes, the human rights infrastructure at the un, however, and after 93 countries did vote to suspend it from the human rights council. they came out and said, well, we never wanted to be a part of it anyways. listen to what their ambassador had to say. less is good, figured out. so the russian federation made a decision about suspending its membership in the human rights council before the end of its term on the 7th of april this year. when russia has always considered the human rights council as an important component of the universal system of promoting and protecting human rights, whose main role is to contribute to the development of a constructive and politicized inter governmental dialogue on key issues of the

human rights agenda. on fortunately in today's conditions, the council is in fact, monopolized by one group of states who use it for their short term aims. 24 countries voted with russia against the move to suspended from the human rights council, including china, who called it a dangerous precedent to remove russia before an investigation into what happened was complete. other countries echoed that as well. south africa, brazil, india, even mexico, a country that co sponsored a general assembly resolution condemning russia for its aggression and calling on it to withdraw stopped short of supporting this resolution saying it went too far that they feared it would polarize the world body even further. and instead of helping with discussions in bringing a resolution might make things worse. that said,

the supporters clearly very happy russia. russia has been censured by the general assembly saying that it is a successful attempt to hold russia accountable. thank you so much. kristen salumi reporting from the united nations nato members of pledge to send more weapons to ukraine to health when the war against russia. ukraine is not a member of the military alliance, but its foreign minister has been in brussels urging foreign minister as for more supports nato expects russia to start a major offensive and southern and eastern ukraine within weeks. either you help us now and i'm speaking about days, not weeks or you help will come to late. an sir, many people will die. many civilians will lose their homes. many villages will be destroyed. exactly because this help came to late weapons are like

mine you. they like they love silence, and i, i will not be in the position to go into details. but ah, let me put it this way. i have no doubts that ukraine will have weapons necessary to fight the question is de timeline or made her chiefs as a wide range of weapons will be sent there. reinforcement pledge follows a tuesday meeting of native foreign ministers in brussels. allies are providing a wide range of different weapons systems on both her so at arrow systems, but also a modern equipment or. and i think that this distinction between offensive and defensive is a bit strange, because we speak about providing weapons to a counter which is defending itself. on the, on the self defense is arrive to which is enshrined in the you and shorter so

everything ukraine, thus, with the support from the dollars is defensive. while you are sector states, as nato allies are building pressure on russia, we have been individually united states and collectively as partners more than 30 countries providing to ukraine. ah, the weapons and systems that we believe it can use most effectively. and that it needs to push back against our russian aggression. and we're not gonna let anything stand in the way of getting ukrainians what they need and what we believe can be effective. so we're looking across the board right now, not only at what we've provided and continue to provide, but whether there are additional systems that would make a difference. alexa cross over to delphi, greece said joining us so via skype is kurt volker. he's a former us ambassador to nato. he's also

a former us special representative for ukraine. welcome back to al jazeera, kurt volker. so either this pledge from the nato alliance to send more weapons to ukraine. i mean, how, how does that look like to you? at what types of weapons will be sent and, and how fast? because that is the concern of the ukrainian foreign minister when he said we need weapons, weapon, what weapons, weapons. and we need them very fast. yes, i think this is a significant step forward. if you compare the tone coming out of the meetings today with the tone coming out of the summit, so when president biden there was a few weeks ago, it seems that nato has really grasped this more with a sense of urgency. you have the u. s. has just announced an additional 400000000 over the past few days. insecurity assistance. other countries are sending weapons as well. and i do think that this is also in proving to some degree, the type of weapons that the, the ukrainians now in a weapons, not only for air defense, but also to be able to advance and to take back the territory that the russians

that occupied and to try to free the for example, the city of model you both. so i think we're seeing some improvements to both the quantity, the speed and the quality of the weapons being provided. is there a concern at all that supplying ukraine with heavier offensive type of equipment like tanks, like fighter jets could really lead to a direct confrontation with russia? well, the course that has always been a concern that many people have expressed. but the fact here is there, crane is defending side its own country. russia is the one that has invaded ukraine, and it is possible not only possible, it assured that ukraine will be indirect contact with the russian forces as they defend themselves. nato is not going to be providing the troops or to be buying the crews, but they are providing the equipment for ukraine to defend themselves. right. but do you think that will actually just stand by as more and more weapons are sent

into ukraine? well, i think that he is already attacking ukraine and he's going to continue doing that . but the last thing that he wants is to attack nato as well. he doesn't want to draw nato into this war. he's having a hard enough time dealing with ukrainian military to bring in western military's would be even worse for russia. so i think you will not do that. couldn't nato accidentally be drawn into this war if a nato country is accidentally drawn into it? yeah, i think that is a risk that by targeting supply lines or targeting facilities close to nato countries like poland or romania prudent could accidentally hit anita country and that would provoke a response by nato. so i think there is a risk, but that being said, that doesn't mean it automatically escalates into some uncontrollable world war 3. there could be a proportion of response from nato back to russia to warn them. and russia, i believe, does not want to seriously engage. well,

we'll leave it there. thank you so much curve ok for joining us from group on to pockets on. and it's ruled that a parliamentary vote. a for no confidence in prime minister in ron con, must go ahead. so the supreme court also ruled at con, broke the law by calling an election officer. parliament was dissolved that happened after his allies prevented the opposition from proceeding with the confidence motion. santander chavez is following events in the catheter as land by islamabad. so tell us about this landmark decision by the supreme court of santa wondering, the supreme court has declared the decisions that were taken on sunday by the deputy speaker of parliament to be null and void and unconstitutional. and all the subsequent steps which were taken after that, including the dissolution of the assemblies, the order by the president at alderley elections and everything else are to be a void of any legal status as well. and there's been jubilation from the opposition parties, which went to the court,

seeking the court to intervene and saying that because the constitution, any right off the assembly is that one. so vote of no confidence has been tabled. there can be no other business in the house with us to discuss that further. is it now recently restored minister or from the pakistan there? he can soften rank hands party miserably for us was administer restored for science and technology. i'm your reaction to this because the what we've been hearing from the opposition and legal fraternity is that now the rule of law and constitution has been destroyed in bikes. well, obviously i as a member of the cabinet and the belonging to pakistan that he can solve. we obviously outweighed her. sorry, do i do or hear the, the decision made by the supreme court. but our point is that via been a constantly we've been seeing that are in democracy. you do not have horse trading

. the reason for 5 years. finally, democracy being unstable is the one of the major reason is that people jumping from hair to their annual destabilizing governments. but the opposition says they've got the numbers to d. c, d, i mr. without any one changing sides flores or coalition partners who went from your party to the other side. actually, you know, late. it all started with her having our members are taken to, especially those substituted vis his lakes in the house where there was a, there are serious allegations that they're been bought. they've been given money or they're been given some other inducements. so i think that the, the, the game was started by these done porch who jumped to the other side or, and, you know, and in went into the protection of the opposition. so it was not a fair thing. it was, it is not the classical are of what of no confidence that you have in some other

countries coming back to the decision today, it is purely on the legality of the steps taken. the opposition says the prime minister did not show sportsmanship. he did not go for the vote. he used a count to measure which the court declared illegal. so was it an illegal and unconstitutional way? and how are you going to face the vote of no confidence in the premise is being accused of a not abiding by the constitution of pakistan law. look at the, we believe that an article $69.00 as iraq, our lawyers, the a pleaded in the court. then under article 69, you know that the speaker of there are some national assembly is fully empowered to take decisions. and his decisions cannot be questioned in the court of law. so we think, and we stand by this, this is our end to partition. and this is a very clear ah clause, which basically says because you know, start,

we start her her interfering as the president's lawyer said, elisa for that if you start interfering in other institutions, lake leg, the supreme court itself, obviously a lot more. well, thanks. look here, do you accept the verdict and what is going to be your future course of act? look, we accept her. the words because you know we are, are, are, are party believes in rule of law. our leader in rand hon has always preached are being go to having supremacy of law or rule of law, which this is actually one thing that we, our party has been fighting for. and we think that the, the rule of law is the main reason, the lack of it. for, for the predicament of far our country. so likely on saturday you are going to lose the vote of no confidence. what is the course of action now? are you going to at design from your seats? are you good to go for early elections? are you going to sit in the opposition? what will emron can do next? look, we're having a party meeting. we are having a cabinet meeting tomorrow. we are having

a party meeting and we are going to devise our strategy, which would mean a very clear and normally as far as the video is concerned and our leader is concerned, we are re determined, committed people with, with the ideology, the not in the party or the, our members who have shown over we were $155.14 plus are totally standing behind us rock solid. so we, we think that, you know, we have a role to play. we are the future of this country. we have to earn kind of protect our country from our, from this bunch of for herb herb opposition, leaders who have very serious corruption charges against them. and it would be a very, very disappointing for the people of pakistan. rule by the way, are standing behind him around hon, which is where the, the last week or 10 years ago, there was a massive,

a historic gathering of people who came on their own in the capital. and in the local bodies which was about dos of 5 or 6 years ago, the local bodies we'd be strapped under the local bodies elections, which is actually the true, a reflection of on ground as to where video and eminent concerns mr. for our thank you very much for speaking to you as there's you go. that is the view from the minister for science and technology. recently restored mystifying science and technology, as there is going to be a vote of no confidence on saturday, which is likely that him round hahn is going to lose. and the word is that they are going to go and fight it in parliament. and pakistan seems to be out of its constitutional crisis that it had been facing since sunday. thank you so much as i have been have had from as lamb abad plenty more head on the i'll just say we're a new software including surveying the damage and blue child will have more on the un humanitarian chiefs visit to the devastated community as fuel prices store in

india, the countries forests are calling for support. former world number one tennis layer simone, a holiday has a new high profile coach. joe will tell you all about that important. ah, but 1st he was president joe biden supreme court nominee, cassandra brown, jackson has secured enough votes to be confirmed by the senate, so she will be the 1st black woman to serve on the country's highest fort jackson was announced as president joe biden to take in february 3 republicans have said they'll vote for her. in addition to all this, the democrats re and heidi joe caster whose life for us from capitol hill to tell us more about this pretty historic vote. heidi as tried to read and in fact, just seconds ago is when the vice president comma le harris, who is presiding over this boat, made the initial announcement of the final vote tally just as expected. 53 to

confirm judge could angie brown, jackson and 47 opposed. that is exactly those 3 republicans who had said they would cross the aisle to vote with their 50 democratic colleagues in supporting the judges nomination. and this indeed is a historic moment. you know, the democratic leader of the senate, chuck schumer said earlier, there have been a 100 teen supreme court justices in the history of the united states. 108 of them have been white men. and there has been an ongoing push to diversify. the high court further and judge brown jackson is of course now the very 1st african american woman to be confirmed to the u. s. supreme court. this is something that schumer again the democratic leader he called this a giant bold step to fulfilling the country's bounding promise a little bit more about jackson. she's 51 years old,

so likely will have decades of influence sitting on this high court. she served for about a decade as a federal judge. most recently as an apple at judge here in washington, d. c. and she was attacked by the republicans all 47 who voted against her for republicans who try to try to connect her with the far left. ted cruz, the republican senator saying that she would be the most. d left supreme court justice in the history of the high court, that is something that jackson pushed back against during her very contentious confirmation hearings here in capitol hill for the last few weeks. she said that she is, she recognizes the textual interpretation of the us constitution. she keeps her own opinions, his opinions and biases rather out of the interpretation of the law. so now

the next step will be for her to be sworn in though there will be a delay to that because she will be replacing an outgoing supreme court justice stephen briar. who still sitting on the bench his retirement will be july of this year. or i, heidi, thank you so much. heidi is reporting for us from capitol hill. well, let's cross over to clarksville, maryland, and bringing on a hill state. and she's the former maryland deputy attorney general informer, a former circuit court judge, and co founder and principal of decision points strategy group, welcome thousands, era. so it's, it's really described as history in the making. what are your thoughts now that she's jackson husband confirmed? well, i'm just getting the breaking news from from you, darlene and i am absolutely thrilled. this is something that's been a long time in the making. we have now a supreme court justice who is extraordinary in every regard. america, one today,

a democracy, one today to america grew today mature today with the approval of domination of supreme court in a very supreme court. now, just as well, how do you expect her to influence the court? well, i think that there are a couple of ways to look at it. i mean, she will be part of a very small group of people who have the ability to encourage the lives of everyone in this, in our country and beyond. and i just based on the way that she conducts herself during the hearing, she will be someone who will bring the same intelligence and that same grace and demeanor. to all of her conversations with her colleagues on the bench, she will be showing great respect to the lead against who appear before her. she is someone who generates a lot of confidence in the bench, and that is very important. people have to believe in the integrity of the court,

judge jackson as to that, to that legacy. and i don't think it can be overstated. how important it is to have someone like her. now to be a member of the supreme court, what it means to people who look up at the supreme court because he's someone looking, looks like them looking back. it's just huge, right? let me ask you about the politics behind all of us, because now we know that there were 3 republicans who, who did support jackson's confirmation. yet there were others who tried to paint her as to liberal and they said that she was soft on crime. so how much of a, when is this a significant? when is this not only for the president himself, but also for democrats? you know, as a lawyer in a former judge, i tried to look past all the politics and that was part of the confirmation process . but what really is relevant is that we have someone who supremely talented academic background speaks for itself. frankly,

any member of the bar would be envious to have the kind of record the judge jackson has in terms of her academic preparation. her professional experience is really very few people who could rival back and the fact that during this whole process, the a reported on the responses they received from people across the board practicing in all areas, judges, people who on the defense side who are on the prosecution side scholars of all ill with a conservative or liberal. and there was consensus around judge jackson as being extraordinary talented. and the view was a consensus that we are just very fortunate to have someone of her caliber of her experience to serve on the course. so i think that all of the politics around in the confirmation will fade in the background. right. 60 percent of americans have

indicated that they are very much in favor of this nomination, the appointment. so i think that will put all that in the rear view mirror. and she's just going to serve with great distinction for a long time. we are very privileged to have a significant day for the us. thank you so much, donna hill, stating we'll leave it there. thanks for joining us. thank you. we are breaking news coming out of israel where we're getting reports off a shooting and central tel aviv local media are reporting 5 people have been wounded. the unknown attacker is set to be still at large. and there has been heightened security following a number of attacks in israel over the past few months. will bring you more on this particular story as we get it right here on al jazeera year with the news hour on coming up in a moment. it's a tight race in france. polls suggest the competition to be the next president is closer than expected. later in sport, formula,

that's about 60 kilometers from the capitol. keith resident say they were threatened by russian forces a gun point for trying to rescue survivors. ukrainian troops regained control of the town a week ago. while residence of the nearby town of boucher has spoken of the trauma they suffered under russian bombardment. money spent more than a month in shelters to escape the fighting. people are now beginning to venture out to survey the damage and reunite with their families and ukrainian soldiers are a tracking for mines and other explosives. cpa humans listed to me. we were in the basement for 35 days. there was shelling all the time. sometimes there was no water, sometimes there was no food or my there was no light all the time. there was no information, phone didn't work. there was shots all the time. the children were cold, i hugged them all the time. i told him that everything would be fine and ukrainian soldiers would come. i explained to them how for how to run, how to defend you. ukrainian authorities are working to identify

a 100. a body is found in boots on other towns after russian troops withdrew. some of the bodies are in a mass grave near a church, un humanitarian chief martin griffith traveled to boot, just visit the brutal sight. ukraine has been the killings on russian troops allegations moscow tonight or earlier, i spoke to the un humanitarian chief wharton griffith about his trip, and he described what he saw in boucher. i had that unpleasant and awful privilege, as you say, going to book us today to see the worst of all people can do to people and i i was taken to a mass grave in the co, out of a church. this is a grave where local people had brought iron out to 280 bodies of 10 people come around to this grave. so they could at least have somewhere where they could be provisionally buried. and when we

were there, we saw these bodies in these graves and then now being big zoomed brought out for forensic examination to find out who killed these people. you know, one of the things that came to my mind cause was pure a close relative for any of those 200 people. you would want a decent burial in this tragic circumstance and we're still waiting for and we're still waiting for the results of an investigation to see exactly who the terrible things who should be comfortable. my 2nd general attorney could tell me, is the cause called friend cation. we think that's 20, right. i'm glad the local authorities are also launch in the right. we need the truth. we need to complete that. we need the people to have some kind of closure

off these terrible incidents. last week's yeah, i mean, you have said that the butcher investigations are quote, the next step. so are you hopeful that that people will get the answers? they deserve a look at the, the, the things the on me, i mean, we will do our investigation, little concerns, do their investigation. the world will do it. investigation is short of people wanting and willing and desiring to do investigations and with investigator independent. i think we will get to an independent on accountability whether we will ultimately find those perpetrators and sanction them. i don't know, but at the very least we need to know the answer to what happened on those terrible days. ok, let me ask you about other parts of ukraine because you tweeted, as humanitarian need sore and ukraine the you went in partners are making every

effort to increase our support to effective civilians and civilians must be allowed to move to say for areas without the fear for attacks, is that what you've seen? how difficult has it before? has it been for people to leave areas safely? and what is your biggest concern right now when it comes to the humanitarian situation in ukraine? there's more than one big humanitarian concern, but perhaps the 1st of them is as you who just been retiring the need for safe passage evacuation civilians from these places of hell. they currently inhabit murray. paul is the worse. there are other places they need to be able to emerge safely from there to resume their lives. now we have a history, a recent history because last couple weeks efforts for these cargoes to work to get people out of merrier and other areas they have. i'm one of those who totally

believes strongly in moscow on monday. i equally, very, very good meeting today with the crane in leadership. we need to have the 2 parties commit to each other for those say passages so that we know that tomorrow at 10 am, this will be say, this will be on impeded. we need it, and marable, we need it in the hands, we need it, and now we're doing a bit. we're providing convoys to go to christ. my chance in to follow these places and see if that creation is perhaps the most urgent human priority for all of us. i think now there's many other things that we need to do that i discussed with the ukrainian government here and in moscow. but i think if i was to choose one in video, that would be the one safe passage for those who want to leave the hell. it was

well, ukraine's foreign minister has planned that a video which appears to show you cranium. soldier is killing russian prisoners of war will be investigated. men in uniform with ukrainian flank, patches are seen, chanting glory to ukraine, or sole source are reports from the village where the shootings are alleged to have happened last week. lustre, i've little bully, the village of demetrika is recovering from a mount long siege by russian forces run over. it was a frontline in the battle for the capital kingdom and the wounds are still roll them over you them. thank god we survived. we left him by the forest man. all the houses were palmed when everything was band. that's why we left. we were pumped 24 hours without stopping. we never thought that we can survive here in this village. we survived armageddon stalingrad. this is starlen. glad. as the russian forces tried to withdraw, they were ambushed by waiting, ukrainian,

artillery. heavy fighting continued for almost 24 hours here on this road, just outside the mc. luka severely shalt a column of russian tanks and personnel carriers were wiped out. many soldiers remained inside. now, barely recognizable, those who survived the fight were captured. if you show in the killing of one of prisoners of war has since emerged, which has caused us right here. ukrainian forces captured to russian soldiers. one of them was still alive and gasping. then a soldier shot the man twice, and after the man kept moving, the soldier shot him again. and the man stopped the killing to happen around much towards heat. while a russian column was retreating from the area. ukrainian de fassman, as we said, the destruction of a russian, a convoy here was precise work. however,

the video shows a more complicated reality. that russian colonel bogdan was a soldier for 42 years before he retired. when the war started, he took up arms again. he questions the videos, authenticity we doors, mentor one and as though kim, this video was editor balloon. when we get prisoners here, we detain and trade them for crania, indiana. we are not barbarians, don't we don't short prisoner salad. while you cleaning officials, ellis, russian forces are committing war crimes against civilians in the region. now they face similar acquisitions. they're promising to investigate up see, to looking over green. you are seattle area one who died in this warmed in all the russians and ukrainians. one person, bertha responsibility. gotcha. let him put you on as boiling a silver this and even if possibly our armed forces made some relation to that which led to the best people to steal to tim is responsible. motioning it is,

none of us started the war, but him are inch of a team. not really sure what they personally zulema as was originally it requires a personalized approach case by case. but according to the geneva conventions, according to the geneva conventions need little global. this war shouldn't co happened as the war grains own and continues to claim lies. the fear here is off more atrocities to come. resources that al jazeera domestic, dorsey jibari has more on the russian reaction to that incident from moscow. well, we've been hearing from the russian ambassador to the united states anatoly and turn off, who says that the lack of coverage by the american media about this video that's now been verified by the new york times just shows washington's biased towards the conflict in ukraine. and the russian state media have been running this footage

quite extensively over the past 48 hours, saying that this is yet more evidence of russia's position. and the ukranian forces are carrying out acts of violence against the russian troops. and they are comparing the ukrainian forces to those members of i soul as well as the nazis. that is, of course, the narrative that has been put forth by the officials from russia over the past. now, $4344.00 days since the so called special military operation began by the russian forces in ukraine. this is the 1st time we've seen footage that's been verified by western media of russian soldiers being killed by allegedly ukrainian forces. now, we also heard from the russian defense ministry on wednesday,

who said that they have heard of accounts by russian soldiers of torture at the hands of ukrainian forces. and they are urging the international aid organizations to get involved to investigate the accusations. their senate has unanimously backed legislation to ban energy imports from russia because of the invasion of ukraine. it follows another unanimous vote to suspend normal trade relations with russia. on this close ally, bella ruth, the move would allow for higher terrorists on imports from the 2 countries. my kind of has more from the white house. the senate has voted unanimously to suspend cleaning trade relations with russia and bela ruth. it specifically states that duties on items coming from these countries be increased immediately. it also recommends that president biden broaden his approach to imposing sanctions with human rights violations. it's basically given him the opportunity to impose
