there are remnants of the missiles and dead people about 30 killed and 300 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. you can wrestle so does lie for us in key for more to be know about this train attack. first of all, wrestle well, according to don't, yes, regional government that all arises to 50, including 5 children and that are also around $100.00 people. a one that there that, that the pictures that are coming from the scene where the alice russian missiles here, the train station are quite wonderful. we can see that through the pictures that, that of dozens of people, including children, lane down death there. and also they have wanted people asking for help. so yesterday we have seen some pictures coming out of that train station which was

used as d a as a center for it. you were creation of this civilians. thousands of people were there and waiting for the trains to come and to evacuate them. but to day, there has been a, allegedly, a russian, we sailed kid there and it caused such a severe damage and also did the human a loss as he this is the latest off such attacks just how wide a couple of days ago we have seen the russian forces retreated from there the some of the regions in, nor tim to year. and there has been that that the scale of the damage and the human losses was reveal so particularly in which at the mess, executions that had been conducted. the mass killings and also the people that had been buried to the mass graves were discovered that and today we see that the did the presence of european union commission or sullivan de leon and their foreign policy chief of european union, joseph burrell, are right now in boucher and just

a little bit there go we have received a video or sla for funded lion. her facial expression was quite shocked when she sees there, that the mass executions or the civilians and that by these there, russia is increasingly facing the north, committing to war kerns and just loudly of to the, the german president called for out of an international crim owe to the award crimes to regional, to the established against the principle of russia than before, the minister of new company as well. so thank you very much indeed. russell started talking to his who from a cave. what also baron says moscow has a very different view of the train station or jacking commodores. the russian defense ministry has rejected to any accusations that have been made by the key of government, or 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 aggregators train station as me kid. it seemed like it is a touch sky. you miss all that was used to carry out this attack. and that is a missile that the russian moves her is currently not using in ukraine. the defense officials also said that they believe now at this attack was launched from an area about 45 kilometers southwest of crime, a tourist. and that this is not the 1st time that the ukrainian military has used this type of miss i. they said that to had the toaster go, you was using an attack that was carried out on a civilian area in the don't yet screech. and on march 14th were 17 people were killed. the idea that at 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 pess. gov,

who reiterated the defense ministries position and he also highlighted the fact that as the russian military special operation is a going according to plan and that city will be a finishing this a mission in the foreseeable future. you open commission president, roosevelt. the lane has called the attacking color tossed despicable. she was visibly shocked for the sight of dead bodies. as she took the turn of boucher and said, the unthinkable had happened there. we have seen the army . we have seen the rec, lisman, and the cold hearts with which they have been occupied with here in hotel. we saw our management team and the whole world is morning with the people of which i will also have on the line is going to be talking to the president of ukraine and

a couple of minutes. cadillac new, the chief executive of the center for european policy studies says that ukraine can expect too many practical measures to come from the talks with our syllabus. delane, i think, was the best of basically from the european article to show that we really bonded or something or other things like you, i have my doubts because the european commission is not the security organization natal or like member. ready has an army, so that is very little, she can commit effectively, probably apart from some additional financial help for some additional proven is gonna be on the membership with on all the issues. we know that on, for example, sanctioning banks, we can involved in payments for gus, the commission has not yet to go against pressure from certain members. so i assume that finance the last part is well, why don't you sanction more banks, which he's been asking as well. and we feel it's in the statement from yesterday

that the commission has looked at that more on for example, got from bank or stay bank, which are the biggest banks involving and the payments for gas from western europe . she does payments from western europe for the gas from here after european sanctions against russia. what are known as volunteer land travel to keep that included a ban on the purch import. a purchase of russian coal and other solid fossil fuel is currently worth about $8000000000.00 euros a year. however, this doesn't come into effect until august. russian flag ships are going to lose access to e u. ports and trucks will be able to transport goods by road. but allowances have been made for agricultural and food products as well as humanitarian aid. info bands will be placed on items like fertilizers, sea food, and liquor on the blocks going to stop exporting semiconductors and high end electronics. and a full transaction band is going to be imposed on 4 major russian banks.

palestinians of held their 1st friday prayers of ramadan as his railing forces are on the maximum alert following an attack. and tel aviv, a palestinian gunman who killed 2 people and wounded others in a bar has been killed after a 9 hour manhunt. john hallman reports from west, who's ha, ha, the aftermath of the shooting attack can central television. a gunman arrived at ispa spraying bullets more than a dozen people were rushed to hospital bay to hold on leg bug. 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, and i thought 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 asa restaurant, families and her friends were sitting and having

a supper and drinks. and now all of a sudden a terrorist came over and i shot them, shot 10 innocent people and i entered them. unfortunately, to them now for nerd is where i was already on its highest alert. 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 claim to responsibility for any of them. it's understood that neither the palestinian leadership nor israel wanted escalation right now in the longstanding conflict her. 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, not barley 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 fall on him to adopt tougher measures towards palestinians could. now we can divide his government further. john homan al jazeera western. what are the hyenas more from tel aviv the force 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 television, jerusalem, and other israel cities. but you will also see, oh, security forces in the occupied west bank, translating into probably more raves, more detentions uncertainly, and much more restrictions for those palestinians blue cross that separation barrier on a daily basis to get to their jobs inside israel. i mean, this is still early hours at the moment from what we understand at the worshippers that we're heading earlier today for friday prayer to l. at some us can occupied

east jerusalem were allowed to do that with no further restrictions to what they already have. now we will be expecting probably a more incursions in the coming hours, but usually they happen a night in the occupied was back. but i have to tell you that israeli media is reporting at the moment and security services believe that the attacker of last night actually has some sort of help from inside israel. and they believed that according to these reports. and that's why he headed to jeff. i, which is about 3 to 4 kilometers away from yes, because over there he would have had some sort of support from a family member neither. but i came, it's in jeanine where the gunman lived. the family of rod hasn't said that they only learned about their son's involvement in the attack from the news. why they say they were surprised. they say that they can understand why people in drugs age

and circumstances would do something like that. the other has been born and raised in this refugee camp. the genie and refugee camp that has been viewed by palestinians as a wrong hold for resistance. one of the father says he wasn't politically active. he's been more. and while oxer martyrs brigade, which belongs to the ruling party in the west bank of ethics, i'm shabba fucker that she couldn't, she really, youth have lost hope in everything. know, jobs, disorientation and dahlia text by the israeli forces. well, they lost a lot of colleagues, friends, and neighbors. in response to the attack, there's ready minutes, 3 has decided to shut down this jack point. it's one of 2 linking janine to israel, and the other one has been closed for a while. many palestinian israeli come here for shopping in janine and thousands of palestinians cross using this check point for work into israel. many years say that

this is hold collective punishment against how simian. it comes after these really officials have promised palestinians what they called ease measures. these things were before the current wave of escalation and before the specific effect where they said that they're going to give crossing and permits the cross into israel. but palestinians say they're not looking for a better quality of life under occupation, but rather looking for an end to the israeli medicine, a rule for them. and we're just getting some reports that the death toll from those shootings and tell him he has no reason to 3. not stella had an al jazeera black justice in the united states. how good times you've run jackson, who's making history in the highest course in the country. ah,

that the rains are moving north with the sun. this is seasonally true, but it's combined this year with a particularly warm western pacific or philippines seem to get this series of little circulations. one's been named the tropical cycling on its way up to guam. this here is just an arc of club as a tropical depression. another one here, another one back in far south of thailand or peninsula malays. it is all areas where flooding is highly likely. in the next few days, south of it all in indonesia, mainly there is a good scattering, a big shout. it's not a heavy seas nor right, which is a is gone north with the sun. but north of that as the season is changing, we're losing winter the be a fairly rapid thought honju. well, recently there was snow. same should accardo. and we left behind with a fairly warm picture of a most of china, particularly warm the yangtze southwards attempts is about 4 or 5, but average there easing down a little bit. but sunshine is the prevalent type of weather virtually everywhere. the exception probably of taiwan, where rain is far more likely in india,

some big shower seem likely in fact, was a warning out for a sam because of these balaban thunderstorms. this rain to the south now in corolla and across in sri lanka. but for most of india, it's hot, particularly in rochester. ah, the frank assessments, what are the political risks of batek russian oil gas for western leaders will sanctions on russian energy exports. a recipe for such informed opinions, france is not abandoning to fight against jedi, still resumed the area. yeah. going to be marketing from nisha and from chad. critical debate. could china actually help in russia's invasion of ukraine in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, hulu?

ah ah, a watching on the 0 reminder about top stories, the seller, the gremlins denying responsibility for what ukraine says is a russian rocket attack on the train station is killed at least 50 people, including 5 children injured dozens more of the eastern city, comma tours, european commission, president ursula on the line has called the attacking, comatose, despicable. she was physically shocked by the sight of dead bodies. she told a ton of boucher and said the unthinkable that happened there. israel security forces are on the maximum alert after shooting dead, a palestinian gunman who killed the 3 people in television. the palestinian president condemned the attack on a bog. israel has closed crossing into the occupied west bank of new songs.

president joe biden says the appointment of the 1st black female justice to the supreme court is a historic moment for the united states. kit. angie brown, jackson overcame republican opposition. senators voted 53 in favor. 47 against highly jo, castro reports from capitol hill. this was the moment when american history was made on this vote, the age of 53, the name of 47, and this nomination is confirmed. ah, 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 morgan 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 was in the mainstream. she is also highly qualified, intelligent people, person, and i wish the very best 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 here 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 a white house correspondent, kimberly hall. could kimberly, this is, is we're, we're talking a historical day for us justice. it's also an important day for the,

by the ministration as well. what's gonna be happening over the next few hours? well, i can already hear the band warming off on the south lawn is the white house i'm standing on the north line. and what we expect in about 2 hours time is on that south line is that the president will be joined by his vice president, commonly harris, along with the associate justice to the supreme court, katasha brown, jackson. and she will be talking to the american public and also along with the president, vice president, they will be celebrating the historic nature of this confirmation. now the u. u. s . president is going to underscore what this white house says is a bipartisan victory. in other words, that this was a bipartisan confirmation, but as hobbies jocasta reported, it was a bit of a narrow victory for this white house. and so, even as the president will be town, this is a political victory and a promise captain that he did on the campaign trail promised that he would make

sure that a black woman was brought to the supreme court of the united states. that is a promise kept up, but one of his other promises to really unite the country and end this partisan divide. well, it looks like and this vote is indication of that that there's still some work to be done. still, it is a beautiful, sunny day in washington after about a week of very dreary skies and rain. this you as president is looking forward to celebrating this moment, this political victory for him. he needs it because his approval ratings are not very good right now. they're hovering a quarter to the latest pull. somewhere in the 40 percent markets, the lowest is presidency. merican voters are in a sour mood. they're not happy about gas prices, inflation at a 40 year high. so this president is looking for a boost in those polls. he is hoping the historic nature of this promise he's kept the. a american voters will help bring those numbers up for him. that's our white house correspondent, kimberly halter kimberly front you french far rights. presidential candidate

morrila pan has held her final campaign rally before elections on sundays. polls now suggest le pen is a real threat to president my o. my calls chances of reelection. bannon smith's reports, marine la 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, the environment and health. oh really? yeah. she is better than micron in every aspect security, the teacher for the use purchasing power, everything in the house. and she loves france, not only europe, i, many people, he voted micron last time was like a 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 a disappointing results for her party 0 goals. you, danny, good day. oh, my 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. but 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, pulls 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 bucking 70. many voters felt the marina pan wasn't presidential

. the team has been working hard on her and it seems to be paying off the latest whole of the race between her and president. emanuel micron now le pen heads into sunday's 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 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 popping around, began, is a senior lecture in french politics, had northumbria university in northern england, and she explains what's behind la pens, wives increases the poor compared to a few weeks ago, a largely down to the far right. come today and he's been using photos. and the reason for the is she right from the start,

she who own the cost of living, which is number one priority for the french. he went for integration, security and got is not a priority. he was also much more affected by the war and ukraine. he was even though both across to houston, he was most trident in support before the war in miss just a mood of the nation by refusing to, to welcome ukrainian. whereas she was immediately saying, yes, we need to, you know, also she carried on her p took cation strategy to make her look more respectable, less scary, whereas he very much fiery, a violent language. outrageous who made her fall normal to her recent price for the 1st row is basically

a lot of them will go to switching back to her. so the 2nd room, the reason she has she, she, she is, she has had chance ready to when it's because it's a very different situation from 217 and 17. we had 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 is about because they did and won't mind the bed this year is different. we hop 5 years of michael and the maximum presidency has led to a lot of anger this compound. and in so large section of the population hatred. so the 2nd row is, is kind of an empty muscle referendum. and the she might win, not because people want her to be the president, but because they don't want my home. and a lot would be primed on extension. and in particular, ascension from the left. if many people from the last you're not going to in the 2nd round days are high possibility that she would win over 19 testing of every one

in shanghai is continuing for a 3rd a successive day. along with a lockdown for 26000000 people in china's largest city, despite the government order to stay home or rec, or 21000 corona virus infections were reported on friday. some citizens of warning their running out of food. but city leaders having the st. when the emergency measures are going to end, more than half a 1000000 people in puerto rico are still without electricity after a fire or to power station on wednesday night. the operator of the u. s. territories. power grid says it's restored electricity to around $380000.00 customers by the end of thursday night. some intensive care units lost power during the blackout across the island. kenneth mcclintock served both as puerto rico's lieutenant governor and secretary of state. he says, the fire shows the importance of investing in renewable energy. well, this time there was a minor fire at the yard in front of the a,

one of the power generators. we've had to 1942, a unitary web where everything is connected. so if anything goes wrong, it can trigger a cascade of events that will shut down the system to protect the system. we have to move to micro grid. we have to move to renewable energy, but we haven't done it yet. the federal government has a sign around $10000000000.00 so that we can reduce the power, the power system that has not been done yet. and there is a debate as well. they should basically reconstruct what we have and continue burning coal, oil, diesel natural gas, or whether we should be redesigning the system so that we can go towards renewable energies and reach the goal of 100 percent. renewable energy's by the year 2015.

that is the alternative that i personally support. at least 12 people have died and columbia after a part of a mining camp was washed away by heavy rains and flooding. the miners were having dinner when they became trapped after flood waters destroyed. part of the plant rescue efforts have been delayed because of bad weather. ah, this is our disease. these are the top stories. the kremlin is denying responsibility for what ukraine says is a russian rocket attack on a train station. it killed at least 50 people, including 5 children and injured dozens in the eastern city of clamor torque european commission president, osa, the vaughan de leon has called the attacking tomatoes, despicable. she was visibly shocked by the sight of dead bodies as she took the turn of boucher and said the unthinkable had happened there.
