and lines of the journey. ah, china is locked in a sigh battle with the you with when i, when ace makes the online warriors bottom line with one out of 0. lou, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm madison. this is the news i lied from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine's president describes russia as evil, with no limit soft rocket attack on a train station kills at least 39 people. it comes as european commission president of all the land has to key for talks law to me as the lensky israel's own maximum, allow after the palestinian gunman kills 2 moons 12 in tel aviv. he's been shot

dead by security forces and is the last day of campaigning ahead of elections in france. the race is tighter than expected. i'm devin. ashwin sports had incredible science, a competitive golf the tiger woods, 14 months on the serious car crash the 15th time. major champion sits 4 shots off the lease after the opening round of the masters. we're going to begin this, these are and the east of ukraine, what at least 39 people have been killed in a rocket attack. ukrainian officials say russian forces struck a train station in the city of kama tossed an evacuation effort was under way when 2 rockets hit dozens more, a wounded separatists in done yet. sc say the incident is a ukrainian provocation, but president, florida me as the landscape describes russia as evil, with no little after the attack. this is an ordinary railway terminal. crowded with

people waiting for trains to be evacuated, the safe, the areas they hit, these people, there were witnesses, there were videos, there were remnants of the missiles and dead people about 30 killed and $300.00 wounded. as of this moment, again, this is just an ordinary railway station, just an ordinary town in the east of ukraine. this is how russia came to protect the dumbass region, how they viewed the protection of the russian speaking population. we were correspondence in russia and ukraine. now the moment we're going to have the reaction from moscow and dosage of bar, let's go to wrestle saudi his life for us and keep we're getting some more information. i think about what's coming out from this attack of the train station . tell us what we know, russell well, according to the don't. yes. regional government at so far, almost around 30 people are dead by da da da russian messina tech on

a train it station in grandma tours. this is a civilian recreation center also, and also almost about $100.00 people being wanted including including children. so yesterday there were pictures for so online that had thousands of people are getting in that station in that at 10 station to waiting for the teams to be evacuated and to day a russian, me. so here that the train station and cows as it is, is caused a loss of lives and wounded at the people. so the pictures that are coming out of the attack train station are horrific. we see a dozens of people including children. they have dead bodies laid on there, and they've warned people asking for for, for house and dis attack that, that is one of the latest that is happening now. but on the other hand, this is coming in a time where russia is increasing the facent allegations or committed war crimes against a civilians just in boucher that has been mass killings and mexico mess as

a cushions there. the mass graves also have been have been a founded there an inward junker just 2 days ago we visited and we have seen this the came off dead destruction that the shelling over the government, the buildings residential areas. but the debriefs that roads heavily shelled and steal people on there. the rob. oh, so now there is a tag that happened on the train station in come a tours on know, on a center where the civilians are waiting to be recruited is the latest of such attacks or so thank you very much indeed. thus, we're so sorry for talking to us from keith, want to bring in dosage of body in moscow. some very strong words coming from presidency. millennium is a landscape saying russia is quote, evil with no limb itself to this attack. how is moscow reacting to all of this? well, the russian defense ministry has rejected to any accusations that have been made by

the key of government in their involvement in this attack. they are calling the accusations provocative and absolutely wrong. according to defense ministry officials, the russians did not have any plans for any operations around that area on friday. and they also highlighted the fact that said the fragments of the missile that were found around the commodores train station at me. kid, it seemed like it is a touch sky. you miss ah, that was used to carry out this attack and that is a missile that the russian mills her is currently not using in ukraine. the defense officials also said that they believe now this attack was launched from an area about 45 kilometers southwest of chromatography. and that this is not the 1st time that the ukrainian military has used this type of missa. they said that ted, the tasco, you was using an attack that was carried out on a civilian area in the don't yet squeezen on march 14th, where 17 people were killed. the idea that said,

this is something that is very much common in the use of this missile within the ukrainian military. now we've also been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest cove, who reiterated the defense ministries position. and he also highlighted the fact that the russian military special operation is going according to plan. and that to the will be finishing this mission in the foreseeable future when he was pressed about what that means to give some kind of a time frame as to when this operation lend, he didn't provide one, he just said, foreseeable future. but we know that the military, the russian military is now in the 2nd phase of this operation. they said that they had completed the 1st phase in the end of march. and since then, they have withdrawn their troops from the surrounding areas of the ukrainian capital kiev. and they're now focusing their attention on the areas in eastern ukraine where they initially i went into that country to assist these russian back separatists in the done yes. and the gowns area who are fighting to regain

territory, which they claim is rightfully there is that is now part of ukraine. so this operation continues and the russian defense ministry saying that they had absolutely nothing to do with today's attacks or so thank you very much. in the dosage barry in moscow where your cranes president's warning to one of the worst scale of killings in bought junk. then 1st thought, let me say in this case as a search is under way to under cover bodies in the town, north west of keith, he's described what happened there as significantly worse than in nearby boucher what, at least 300 people died. zelinski did not get further details or evidence that russia was responsible for civilian deaths or reports of killings like those and bought a jazz cotton, boucher. how prompted the un to suspend russia from its leading human rights body. moscow has dismissed the move as illegal and politically motivated, christenson who has more from the human as atrocities in ukraine mount the

countries ambassador appealed to the general assembly to hold russia accountable and suspend them from the geneva based human rights council. all you need to do is to press the yes button and to save the human rights cancel and many live around the world. and in ukraine. on the other hand, pressing no means fooling a trigger. russia denying all wrong doing accused the west of double standards at the public. good sir shaw thought i need what we're seeing today's an attempt by the united states to maintain its dominant position and total control to continue its attempt at human rights colonialism in international relations in russia. lobbied hard, convincing china to vote against suspension. geez, i linda hutchison gall. such a hasty move at the general assembly which forces countries the 2 sides will

aggravate the division among member states. intensify the confrontation between the parties concerned or how it is like adding fuel to the fire. in the n 23 country sided with russia, 93 voted in favor of suspension. but india, brazil, in south africa, were among 58 countries that abstained saying an investigation should be concluded . first. mexico also abstained. i think it creates more polarization. a country that supported previous resolutions deploring rushes, aggression, mexico east, in favor of everything that will keep inclusion and dialogue on the table. still the u. s. ambassador, who initiated the vote, is that held the decision as a victory to day. the international community took one collective step in the right direction. we insured our persistent and agrees is human rights violator will not be allowed to occupy a position of leadership on the human,

on human rights at the un. the 47 member human rights council launched an investigation and to possible war crimes in ukraine, while russia was still a member over russia's objections. now it will release its findings without russia who, after becoming only the 2nd country to be suspended from the council, announced it was quitting. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. no more had any user intervene. pakistan's opposition celebrates the supreme court ruling that could see primary or non con, ousted from power. a vote that's making history. the u. s. senate confirms cassandra brown jackson is the 1st black woman to serve as supreme court justice. and in sports, the japanese baseball star, who made history on the opening day of the season. ah, indians have held the 1st friday prayers of ramadan at the time when his ready

forces have been put on maximum alert. a palestinian gunman who carried out an attack and tel aviv has been killed after a manhunt. me, incidents being condemned by palestinian president lockwood abbas a crossing into the occupied west banks being closed in response. john hallman reports from west to salem, ah, the aftermath of the shooting attack concentra television. a gunman arrived at this bar spraying bullets more than a dozen people rushed to hospital bay. so hold on leg, but i was heading north and as you were passing by a bar shot started outside, i saw the window shattering. suddenly people started running and i felt back pain. i did not know there was an injury. i was just walking and then i throw a lot light. i saw blood melinda, thank you. down. dozen golf street is usually busy with people visiting its bars and cafes. by the end of 1st evening. it was full of security forces. you can see right behind as a restaurant, families and her friends were sitting, having

a supper and drinks. and now all of the sudden a terrorist came over and i shot them, shot 10 innocent people. and i entered them unfortunately till then. laura murdered is where i was already on its hi, stella. this was a 4th attack within the country in recent weeks. all of them appeared to have been carried out by individuals. no palestinian group claimed responsibility for any of them. it's understood that neither the palestinian leadership, nor is where i wanted escalation right now in the longstanding conflict here. but as in the past, even when no one's interested in escalation, things can suddenly spiral out of control. perhaps sooner rather than later for israeli prime minister, natalie bennett, he said he won't engage in peace talks with the palestinians. he's trying to hold

together a fragile coalition, which is just lost its parliamentary majority, the pressure that sure to full on him to adopt tougher measures towards palestinians could now weaken and divide his government further. john homan al jazeera wester's them. what are the hemmings lifers intelligence hodder? so the security forces are on maximum alert. how's that actually playing out in the ground? have been a maximum alert for quite a while since about 10 days. i would say after the 3rd attack, this is the 4th attack in less than 3 weeks. now the how that translates on the ground is that you will see more security forces on the streets of tel aviv jerusalem and other israeli cities. but you will also see more security forces in the occupied west bank, translating into probably more rates, more detention, answer julie,

and much more restrictions for those palestinians who cross that separation barrier on a daily basis to get to their jobs inside israel. i mean, this is an early hours at the moment from what we understand, the worshippers that we're heading to earlier today for friday prayer to act some of us can occupied east jerusalem. we're allowed to do that with no further restrictions to what they already have. now we will be expecting probably more incursions in the coming hours, but usually they happen at night in the occupied was back. but they have to tell you that israeli media is reporting at the moment as security services believe that the attacker of last night actually has some sort of help from inside. and they believe that according to these reports, that's why he headed to jeff how, which is about 3 to 4 kilometers away from. yeah,

because over there he would have had some sort of sort of support from a family member. this is going to raise questions, of course, about the level of security that the israelis can provide in the safety they can provide for, for people in israel. but also of course, as john hallman was explaining, this is coming at a time of political fragility for prime minister, natalie bennett. what do you think of the long term ramifications for all of this a? well, this country is definitely inching towards a political crisis. and the biggest challenge now to the prime minister is a former prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and he was very quick to treat earlier this morning that the country needed. a firm stands and a tough hand. and remember he has all his positions himself as mr. security. now with all of this wave of attacks that have been happening and he will be eagerly repositioning himself as the only man who can keep things under control. but we did

also hear from natalie bennett himself. he did acknowledge that these kinds of attacks, what he calls these load walls at. fax are one of the major challenges for the security forces because it's very difficult to pinpoint when or where they will come. the young man who was behind last night that back it doesn't have any criminal record is not known to have any political affiliation. he is 5 east sampsonoma family. a fact our members met him personally, was not a member of that palestinian faction. his friends also have been saying that to our team in the occupied west bank. so is this kind of attack is very difficult to pinpoint. and the prime minister this morning was say that when israel had this a similar wave of sort of lone wolf attacks when that weigh less, stabbings happened back in 2016. well, it took a year, really for the country,

it to the security service to get that under control. so in his words, he was saying this is going to take a long time to quell. in the meantime, the political crisis could increase. he has lost already, his party has lost the majority within the routing coalition, it's not about to collapse yet, but certainly is facing very difficult dimes. whether politically on the security agenda, which is very important for israel is auto. thank you very much. need to hug. i'll jaime talking to some tentative the palestinian group. iceland jehovah has held a rally to commemorate 20 years since the battle of jeanine in 20 or to the janine refugee camp was the scene of one of the deadliest battles and the 2nd palestinian intifada, or uprising. at least 75 people died at israeli forces, fort armed palestinians for almost 2 weeks on percy restaurant camp was the scene of another made by israeli forces, and 2 palestinians were killed. i thought we know our unity is the condition for

our victory, and we demand all our people to night in the trench of resistance. this option will restore our rights and return as palestine, all of palestine to its warm, arab and islamic embrace. french far i presidential candidate marian, the pen has held her final campaign rally before elections and sunday. all suggest the race is tightening with lapel and increasing threat to presidency. manual macros chances of reelection, banner swift reports. marina pan has perhaps never been as close to power. the latest polls indicate the leader of france is far right. national party still wants to curb immigration and ban muslim head scarves in public places. but she's focused her campaign on the cost of living crisis. it's the number one issue for french voters ahead of the war in ukraine environment and help. oh, really?

yeah. she is better than micron in every aspect security. the future for the youth purchasing power everything. and she loves france, not only europe. i many people he voted micron last time. move little pen now because he did far from great. and what he proposes now is even worse than 5 years ago. the pens team is worried about voter apathy, a low turn out in regional elections last june. let disappointing results were her party 0 goals you've delivered. oh, oh, i beg you to go and vote. there is no win unless you go and vote to those who have given up on their citizens gesture because of your anger, your disgust, disillusion or tiredness. i tell them, i understand you. that right now, get back into your role of citizen in the presidential election. you can't abstain . take back, control, jump. ha ha, no, no, go home. polls of long predicted,

a victory for incumbent president emanuel, my crohn, his team is worried about support as being complacent. makram beat le pen by margin of 30 percent when they faced off in the presidential election 5 years ago. this has been a polished campaign back in 2017. many voters felt the marina pan wasn't presidential . the team has been working hard on, it seems to hang all the latest holes of the race between her and president emanuel . my con now le pen heads into sundays, 1st round election with a predicted 20 to 24 percent share of the vote against microns 26 percent. and 39 percent of french people consider she has the stature of a president. that's up from 21 percent in 2017. her team. hope that suggests france is in for a real political shot. bernard smith, al jazeera, her opinion. well, the challenge to remind you, ma call isn't, is coming from the white wing. it's also losing votes. the left,

this is the 3rd presidential campaign for far left content shall look melanie shawn was the senator and the socialist party. he later presided over the laugh house in san luis party. and the national assembly is recent campaigns covered climate, feminism, and the cost of living. he says, it's vital to change the political system. we want stronger citizen participation in law creation. well, let's bring in our own bargain. here she's a senior lecture in french politics and november university in the u. k. she's joining us from newcastle vega to have you with us. good afternoon. where do you think marilla pens increase in support is coming from? the increase in the pool compared to a few weeks ago is largely down to be off the far right. come today. it's been using a lot of photos. and the reason for the is she right from the start, she focus on the cost of living, which is number one priority for the french. he went for integration security,

and that is not a priority. he was also much more affected by the war in ukraine. he was even to go across to putin. he was most trident in support before the war in misjudged mood of the nation by refusing to, to welcome ukrainian. whereas she was immediately saying, yes, when we need to, you know, also she carried on her p took the cation strategy to make her so her glue more respectable, less scary, whereas he very much fiery, violent language, outrageous. so that made her fall normal. so recent rice for the 1st row is basically a lot of switching back to her for the 2nd round. the reason she has she,

she, she. ringback she has a chance really to win is because it's a very different situation from 2000, 17 and 17. we have a new candidate, michael jones. we didn't know much about that. and a lot of people voted for him, you know, to get into benefit of her back because they didn't want mine this year is different . we hotspot years of my under my home presidency. ringback to a lot of these compounds and so last section of the population hatred. so the 2nd round is kind of an empty muscle referendum. and the she might not because people want her to be the president, but because they don't like her and a lot will depend on extension. and in particular, extension from the less, if many people from the last, you know, going into 2nd round days and high possibility that she would when we did see low voting ferguson during the last presidential election. of course that did have

a significant effect on the end result. i want to talk about that. talk about the repackaging that marina panel team have done on marion le pen, but also in the party as well. and are people convinced to you think that this is a legitimate stance that they're taking, or is there a concern? ah, that once she is in power, if she managed to get in power, then actually all the old at stances that they took will simply re emerge and it'll be very difficult to one pick that or do they genuinely believe the actually what she sent says she signs for now ease actually was gonna happen if she gets in yes it does a lot to yes. first of all, this opportunity, no doubt that it's a re packaging, but her program has not changed. so you know, she remains a nationalist candidate and you know, everything does not have the he and her father talked about in terms of immigration, security, islam has not go away. i think

a significant number of people do believe that she's changed to believe that she or she's moderate, that she you know, that she cares is about the cost of living. i think a lot of people also knew that this is not true. but as i was saying before, there is a deep onto michael feeling will favor her in the past, it was always an antique of been a vote. this time around, it might well be an anti a, but she hasn't changed. it's just the packaging that has changed, but a lot of people are convinced that you know, she's not the same as before. and i want to ask you about the that we were talking about before. the fact that i'm not going to seem to be losing votes towards the left. what do you say given the fact that john melanie shawn is an experienced politician? this is the 3rd presidential campaign he's been and he knows what he's doing. and so does his team, how, how much of an impact do you think,

could they have and what are their chances of actually making significant inroads into macros figures? i think it mental show has a chance to reach the 2nd round and dance because of the of tactical voting. a lot of people from the left are really desperate to have left twin candidate. and the 2nd round and middle show is a really good campaign, a rating. the rates broke away from numerous candidates on the last 2 months ago. they were all below 10 percent. then you start creeping up. and a lot of people decided to changed it because they won't, or they want someone from last in the 2nd round. and there was a study published recently. we still have 2 besides who might be said that they might change their vote on sunday. and the vast majority of them were from their

left. so he might pick a lot of voters from their nest on sunday because they are desperate to huh. that's tween candidate in his 2nd round. so i said he has a chance. i mean, i'm know that right now, it looks as if it's going to be, have been versus michael. but i wouldn't discount notion just yet because of his tactical voting under the desire failed by many less. we will say that we called half a re match that we need someone to be someone from the left eye on google. we appreciate your giving you this us the benefit of your expertise in this. thank you very much indeed your time on. thank you. thank you. thank you. pakistan's parliaments reconvened ahead of no confidence vote on saturday, which is expected to august primary in non con political workers, middle position, people's part who celebrated earlier. the supreme court ruled on thursday. the cons

moved to dissolve parliament and coal for early elections was illegal. assigned to your world, whether updates hears rob. now the last few days been increasingly hot in ne avenue, particularly in cairo, attempts hovered around the 40 mark with that breeze coming out of the interior. but the things never lost. this is spring is supposed to be the season of change. so temperature already dropped. but the for house, the car is to read about the 30 mark, but it's nothing like it was that breeze coming from the north, north west or north. this is kelly going to be cooler. it's coming off the eastern met. it also indicates proper change in the weather type and this line of cloud here is a cold front. these happen frequently happen throughout the winter. they tend to throw dust ahead of them long. it's dry and it is at the moment. cool things down. be hot in the sun comes out and the can be extreme changes currently because it's early april, it's not going to be extreme. first of all, you do get the does, is it northern iraq, oregon skies, very difficult. that often then spreads down through iraq and into the raven

peninsula. i'm not sure this all do quite that because it looks, i think, spitting apart this is friday's picture of a teacher saturday. you'll see yes, there is. some dust is becoming fading, the showers are in iraq in the south of the lot, much looks like it's going on, but the household could touch 40, then cools down, but not dramatically as a wind shift round to a strong northwesterly. still had on al jazeera, the stress of coping was covered. 19, how the pandemic is making a shortage of nurses in the us, even worse and the one with meet the committee from south sudan, who says laughter is the best medicine. and this man achieved something never before seen in the n b a. we're going to tell you about it later in sport. ah, the latest news, as it breaks,

brought into the opposition. the only way forward is abiding by democratic norms and the root of law in potsdam, with detailed coverage all throughout pain. you see sites like this seems all every artillery shell and there is almost complete destruction from around the world. so many people wanted trusted strong leader at a time of crisis. it's the largest war in europe since world war 2. is president putin reclaiming what belong to russia? was natal coming to close? and what does the end game look like? an in depth look at the war in ukraine. hooton's land, or the west neglected ukraine. the seeds of room on it just either lou.

ah, watching or does it remind of our top story is this, are you finding the official se is 39 people have been killed in a russian rocket strike and a train station in institute train and evacuation effort was underway at the time. the kremlin has denied responsibility. israel's prime ministers put security forces on maximum alert after the palestinian gunmen killed 2 people in televi authority to close to crossing and to be occupied, west bank in response to the shooting range fight. presidential candidate martin le pen has held her final campaign rally before sundays. elections full suggest the leases tightening with le pen closing in on presidency radio, mac. okay,

let's return to our top story. the war in ukraine, european commission, president ursula vaughan the lane as called the attack on a train station and comma task despicable in a tweet. she said she was appalled by the loss of life earlier. she boarded a train to keep quashel hold talks with vladimir zalinski. let's bring him current landlord. he's the chief executive of the center for you to be in policy studies. and he's joining us from brussels. thank you very much indeed for being with us. so what do you think the ursula vonda lay in is hoping to achieve by making this trip you see, show them to show, to europe in. that's the chair that we get what's going on. and it chris and i think the public opinion and you know, is extremely interested to see progress and towards more peace and to less atrocities, since we've seen again today and crank. but i think on the other side, i would say that's the length. since all these works, but once,

once dates and that's what he's saying on the plan. and i think certainly there will be confusion in their eyes or in the way they perceive europe because they have to let's get me into so many parliaments. and you know, he seen last week, the president of the european parliament and obviously to present a commission and the president of council following. so if i were to be in jail institute, i would say i don't need to see will be purchasing. but i want to see clear, and you want me to help us. and that's the problem with, you know, you know, it doesn't look like sanctioning. we announced her sanctions yesterday against russia, with the sanctions or seem to be going to do it in the later to the, the degree of the atrocities committed by russia and ukraine. every day, every hour. you raise an interesting point because as you say, president zalinski and his government have been demanding weapons. they've been demanding action sanctions and so on. none of which require any key leaders to

actually travel to keep in order to be able to make that happen. why do you think, given all, given the fact that this must be riddled with security issues as well? why do you think the are sort of on the lane has decided to physically go to keep in order to be able to make this visit? i think the suppression basically from the european article to show that you really wanted something or other things like you. i have my doubts because the european commission is not the security organization. the national or like member. ready state which has an army, so that is very little. she can commit effectively, probably apart from some additional financial help for some additional proven is going to be on the membership application. but on all the issues, we know what to say, that for example, sanctioning banks which are involved in payments for gas the commission has not there to go against pressure from certain members. so i assume that finance the

last part is that why don't you sanction more bank street? she's been asking as well. and we feel attend the statement from yesterday that the commission has not that more on for example, got from buying or better, which are the biggest banks involving. and the payments for gas, from less than you say, does payments from western europe for the guy from russian. they're having some statements made with regard to a possible membership application by ukraine to the european union. do you think that is actually given the circumstances, given everything that's happening? do you think that's actually something that is worth pursuing for ukraine, or is that something that is a sideline, if you like, for the moment? i think it is very important to us russia to say that we have members with dogs, with a concrete grain which they want the address from the mat ever the country in the colonel territorial center. so if we accept or start discussing,

in fact, they have asked us for an opinion from the commission now by the month of june regarding the membership application. but at the see, it crane as a country within the board, which are the company direct versus mathematics for an already. this is a problem because russia has an extra grim, fresh isaac next donald dollars and lunch pro ventures, which we isn't. you don't have the cap. so if we said we discussed grain, ukraine as we know it from the bass. if i understand it correctly, and i'd like to have the benefit of your experience and your expertise on this is essentially a financial institution. essentially it is a trading and financial institution. what kind of protection from russia or any other antagonist with ukraine get by being part of the european union? your means of action. would that get from the you if it's member to you? yes, about the yes. i mean, there is

a clause in the d. b says that it's all not like an nato a treatment, but like you agree, there's also not much from assistance. so if like, for example, if you know the price there have been calls from madison each other for which will assistance to deal. but for example, all expressed the same kind of lying. now it granular could be a member for assistance in problems. if you're not getting crisis. ready which ukraine has today, and if you are a member of you, the, you have to respond to a demands. is it as a humanitarian crisis and one or other member states later, natural calamity rates are related to for example, the health crisis done that you look try to help better. ringback from the common organization. and of course, if ukraine would become a member does, so certainly apply. but i think the 1st thing going to happen. so is the fact that the total integrity of the crane is contested by russia. and that'll have to agree,

what crane are we talking about? of course, did you speak to do then? is it will say, we want to train as you see a letter, not all the competitors, which russia cleaning and duck will of course be a big problem. i think that you should never very strong position russia to say, really has never been lucky. crane reduce the crane, visit us today. and that's extremely have gotten a statement to worse lensky that you accept that ukraine actually knowledge from the batch without what russia schanzer. the crim annexation into doesn't 14. very interesting to get your thoughts on the south carolina. we appreciate your time. thank you very much. indeed. thank you. present leisure. the u. s. has confirmed the 1st black woman to serve as a justice on the supreme court. the senate approved joe biden's, omission of cassandra brown jackson in historic vote. i little castro reports from capitol hill. this was the moment when american history was made on this vote. the

age of 53. the naser 47, and this nomination is confirmed. when the nations 1st black female vice president announced the confirmation of the 1st black woman to the u. s . supreme court never, never has a black woman held the title of justice. cassandra brown, jackson will be the 1st and i believe the 1st of more to come. ketani round jackson's confirmation passed by the narrow margin of 53 to 47 with 3 republicans joining all 50 democrats in voting yes. she's with the major. she's also highly qualified, intelligent people, person, and i wish the very of us, the remaining senate republicans voted no some voicing concern over jackson's work, representing guantanamo bay detainees when she served as a federal public defender. others accused her of being

a tool for the political left. i believe she will prove to be the furthest left of any justice to have ever served on the supreme court. members of this committee, jackson defended against that assertion during her confirmation hearing. i interpret and apply the lot to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favor consistent with my judicial oath, jackson has nearly a decade of experience on the federal bench. she's the daughter of public school teachers, and also served on the federal sentencing commission. she joined president joe biden to watch the confirmation vote from the white house. jackson will replace the moderate liberal justice stephen briar when he retires in july, leaving the supreme court's conservative super majority unchanged is very unlikely that justice jackson will be able to convince a conservative justice to cross party lines and vote with the liberal justice is on

the controversial issues, but jackson's confirmation is a symbolic when for democrats and the biden administration at age 51, she will likely have decades to sit on the u. s. supreme court. and her supporters say, just as importantly, she will serve as a trailblazing role model. and inspiration for generations to come. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington. well, let's go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hall. could it, sir, tempting to suggest the probably the hard work is already done for could sonjee brown jackson, but one would imagine it's probably just beginning what's gonna happen over the next few hours or so over the next few hours, the u. s. president, the vice president and also the associate justice to supreme court katasha brown jackson will be gathering on the south lawn of the white house. the white house says this is about celebrating the historic nature of this confirmation. but in truth, this isn't just about the historic nature of the confirmation, but also

a lot about politics. this is a u. s. president that is keen to highlight to his voters and to his base that he has kept the promise that he made on the campaign trail. and that is to make sure that he got a black woman to the supreme court. so given the fact that the u. s. president's poll numbers are among some of the lowest that they've been since his presidency, the latest pulled about 40 percent approval rating. this is a u. s. president, that is particularly nervous about the upcoming congressional elections in about 7 months time. so given the fact that there are some challenges that this president has with inflation with the war ukraine, he is eager to celebrate this victory. it's been very rainy in washington all week . today is a bright sunny day, and this is a day that this white house wants to celebrate, was to celebrate this political victory, and also this historic victory. and so what we will see are

a lot of smiles in the upcoming 3 hours from now as we see the vice president, the president, and also the associate justice on the south lawn of the white house. the white house press secretary says, this is going to be a fulfillment of a promise made by joe biden to the american public. and this is one that they say they will be celebrating as our white house correspondent, kimberly hawker, temporary. thank you very much. about half a 1000000 health care workers have left their jobs in the us since the start of the corona virus pandemic. some were laid off and he resigned and others couldn't work because of long illnesses. my kind of reports, they've been the caring responders in the battle against the pandemic working long hours in overcrowded hospitals and experiencing the ravages of cobra 19. and it's variance on a daily basis. and while this being a decline in hospital admissions, as a vaccines take hold, the stress on the nurses is far from over there. some of our colleagues within the

state who's the pdf, the p t s d is so bad that they've had several suicides. so it's affecting all of us differently. unfortunately it comes down to the patients and really when i go into work and i feel like i don't have the resources or the time to take care of the patients in the way that i want to. i just feel distressed, i feel morally distressed that i am put in a situation where ethically i am not able to hold up to the value that i am told that i want to to be out for myself. there are 4400000 registered nurses in the u. s. but data realized by national nurses, united shows that just over 3000000 are actually employed. the state that union claims that there was a stopping crisis long before colbert and that there is not

a nursing shortage. but there's a shortage of jobs in which nurses feel valued. and safe. congresswoman john chicago ski has been working on federal legislation to protect nurses since 2004. you know we hear that sometimes from the hospital. there's this big nursing shortage. nope. there is only a shortage because there is not the ability of nurses to go back to work safely and to protect their patients as well. it's predominantly nurses who are at the forefront of the vaccination campaign. billions of them still out there working despite an environment that remains fall from ideal to many. it's a calling as much as a profession. i really have come to the point where i, i, i don't think that there's any other place that i would want to be. but there are

situations and days at work where i think, i don't know if i can keep doing this. statistics indicate the pandemic could be waning, but the scars remain for the millions that have lost family or friends. and for those who have held the hands of the dying. my kind of era, washington, the juba international comedy festival is being held for the 1st time this weekend and south sedan aqua jumbo is one of the comedians taking part. and he says the best comedy comes from hardship is his story. my name is nicole dumble and i'm a stand up comedian from south to dunn was the only one. i was locked up in the, in a row before the bus for the past 8 months of the funding. then after that i went, but that's done and done was not as locked up as the rest of the country. i navigated my way back a little bit. the zone shows

a little bit of online content. there a little bit of a running to few 20 people like a, but if i build as of, by the way through up through it you'll, you'll be glad to hopefully get that all that. so i'm going to give you one of the country, the big stuff political time at the moment. yeah. we, we have an accommodated government where we have the opposition and the government trying to work together and under document that need to force to work together. and you can see, and when you start to see that thing, there's so much tension. it's not the easiest when you, when you come from a mrs lesson, but you don't, you don't have a lot of them. have a lot of places that you can set up committee, a little comedy club for meeting at my age of my, my liberal in a different country. i would be like driving and like doing a lot of things. so it is like, it's like a plant growing in, in,
