or present involuntary zalinski described russia as quote evil with no limits after the attack. he was speaking to the finish parliament. this is an ordinary railway, terminal. crowded with people waiting for trains to be evacuated, to safer areas. they hit these people, there were witnesses, there were videos, there were remnants of the missiles and dead people. 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. okay, we had our sense of our standing by for us in moscow with more on the rush and response and reaction to this attack. that 1st will bring in rob mcbride, who's joining us from of even western ukraine to tell us what more we are learning about this attack. yeah, it is a truly horrific attack, even by the standards of what we have seen so far in this war, in ukraine to rockets slamming into a crowded, a railway station that was thrown with people trying to get on evacuation trains to

get out of the eastern ukraine, the governor of birth of this area says that the death toll stands at 50, among them 5 children with at least 98 people injured. but there is a fear that the death toll could well increase a video footage taken at the scene in the immediate aftermath, a shows, a scene of absolute carnage. but despite this, the authorities in the east are still telling people or to get out as quickly as they can to use whatever means because there are still trains. there are still buses coming from the east and the word is to people in khaki haven't done yet. can lew hands these areas in the east where they are expecting this renewed russian offensive that people should get out a while while they can? this or train was, were they, they were waiting for trains to come to the west and here in the vive, we see a lot of these trains coming from the east. this is where people escaping the

fighting, often come towards. we been along to libby railway station this friday afternoon and had seen one of these evacuation trains come and from chrome, a tolls and it's taken well over 24 hours to get here. this. these trains travel pretty much the length of ukraine from east to west of the station. there is pretty much a barometer of the fighting since the stove. this is where we saw at the beginning of the conflict. hundreds of thousands of people coming through levine on their way to western ukraine and possibly beyond into neighboring countries. as things have stabilized that has been a reversed slow people coming back into ukraine, thinking it's safe again to do so. but of course, with the fear of a renewed russian offensive all of these western cities, the, the vive, included, bracing for a surge of a, of a people trying to escape this of renewed about fighting. all right, thank you so much. rob mcbride reporting from the vive and western ukraine, we will cross over to russia now and bring endorsed jabari. she's joining us from moscow to tell us about the russian reaction to this attack that happens in

crematory score. so there in the russian defense ministry has issued statements all day saying that as the accusations made by the key of government are provocative and absolutely wrong. and that the russian military had no activities around that area on friday. and in fact, the fragments of the missiles that have been found around the crematory train station indicate that this us the way a missile that's often used by the ukrainian military. and that said, this is sad tusker you missile that the russians do not. 5 i have in their austin the moments in ukraine. they also are accusing the ukrainian military of carrying out this attack in an attempt to disrupt the exodus of civilians from that area in eastern ukraine. the defense minister also highlighted the fact that this missile was also used in previous attacks at last one being on march 14th, a in a civilian area in don,

yet ski region in eastern ukraine again aware 17 people were killed. they say that this is certainly a provocation on their part, that the russian military had nothing to do with this. and they now also share details that they believe these new solves were launch from a, an area about 45 kilometers south west of trauma cor, chrome, of course. and that the russians are not operating anywhere near that. the, we've also been hearing from the spokesperson of the kremlin, dmitri prescott, who said that the so called special military operation in ukraine. the goals that the russians have are being achieved through the military as well as through the negotiations that are ongoing with the cranium side and that he believes the operation will come to an end in the foreseeable future. when asked what that means, in terms of timeframe, he didn't provide one. he said, just said it will be in the foreseeable future and that they will continue until their presence is no longer needed. of course,

this all began when they were asked to help with the russian back separatists in those regions in don't you ask, i'm the gods who are fighting to take back what they believe to be land that belongs to them, right? leave that is now part of ukraine for the russian. this is a military campaign that is continuing until those aims are achieved. ok, thank you so much. dorsen jabari from moscow or the european commission president ursula wonderland has called the attack in crematory. despicable. she's in chief along with the use foreign policy chief joseph burrell for a meeting with the ukranian president. and earlier they visited boucher that's where hundreds of civilians were found dead after russian troops retreated underlie and said the unthinkable had happened there. we have seen the face of 14 army. we have seen the requisition and the cold harshness with which they have been occupying in here in

hotel. we saw our humanity being shattered and it is the whole world is morning with the people of which are for more in her visit we bring and wrestle. swords are who is joining us in. the capitol came to tell us what more is on her agenda and what she's hoping to achieve in ukraine. well, so this is in the day that the highest diplomatic for a profile that is, was it in the ukraine. it seems to sort of the war on february 24th on. and she's also joined by d at the european union's foreign policy chief, joseph burrell as well. so leading the day they have was did witcher, where the mass executions were conducted. the mass graves were discovered, so we could see that her reaction, facial impression was reasonably short when she sees that the data bodies are dozens of people lane down next to each other. so now she just had it to the

presidential palace to meet the ukrainian president as zalinski, and that day, she just ahead of her with it to ukraine. she said that the herd was, it is and sign off unveiling support to ukraine during this tough time. i've been so far the present present that ascii has said that you'd have been unit has done a lot to have ukraine, but that house is not enough. so he is emphasizing the importance of particularly european union to cut off. it's paul for chase off the russian gas and oil, but there is at this unity among the european union, particularly when it comes to germany and hungry germany is asking to have this for 2 years to complete the stop and port in the russian gas. and this is becoming a central criticism from the ukrainian government, kia and other, the other item on the agenda is the ukrainian or application for the european union membership. and then ask is asking that for us process to be fast and,

and also that ask is asking the european union companies to be show more willingness a be to be there that the guarantor companies in case of a deal. so european union just yesterday ahead of or slow when the lanes wizard here is the halves and not the 5th package or the sanctions, or no russia including the complete ban on the call, which is just 3 percent of the trade between european union and russia. and also they have decided to kick out 3 afford new russian banks from the swift system. and the toward one was the to stop the russian westerns to approach or go to the european union's reports. however, as i said, prison lensky is asking for more and more rational weapons and more sanctions over russia. and this are going to be on the agenda and a meeting between the 2 parties. okay, we'll talk to you a little later. thank you so much restful, sorry, i reporting from keith caroline,

who is the chief executive of the center for european policy studies. and he says that ukraine can't expect too many practical measures to come from the talks with the european commission president. i think the simplicity from the european article to show that we really want to do something either things like you. i have my doubts because the european commission is not the security organization like the nato or like member. ready which has an army, so that is very little, she can commit effectively, probably apart from some additional financial help. so some additional proven is going to be on the membership application with them all the issues we know to that home, for example, sanctioning banks which involved in payments for gus. the commission has not there 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 receive, attend the statement from yesterday that the commission has look more on for

example, got from bank or sped about, which are the biggest banks involving and the payments for gas, from rest of your se, does payments from western europe for the guy from russian. so as resort was mentioning a moment ago, a new raft of european sanctions against russia were announced as bunder lion trouble to keep. it includes a ban on the import or purchase of russian coal and other solid fossil fuels currently worth $8000000000.00 euros a year. however, this doesn't come into effect until august. russian flag ships will lose access to e u. ports and trucks won't be able to transport goods by road, but allowances have been made for agricultural and food products as well as humanitarian aid import bands will be placed on items like fertilizer, seafood, and liquor. while the block will stop exporting semiconductors and high end electronics and the full transaction band will be imposed on 4 major russian banks

. the german government is backing the sanctions but pushed for a delay until august. dominic cane explains why from berlin. the dependency here in germany on russian fossil fuels is still very considerable. we know that from the german governmental position they've been looking at, how could they make up for a serious shortfall in their energy supply? if the worst were to happen, if all of a sudden everything would be switched off that is shipped here or piped here from russia. and clearly, if coal is switched off and gas 2 and oil 2, then that puts them in a really serious bind. one report suggests they that the german government suddenly the minister who's responsible for this particular area, robert havoc the deputy chancellor, is considering reactivating many of the brown cole cole field areas of germany, which some, most of which already been switched off. because that's the way of making up for

this shortfall, but there's no question about it. in germany. there is the will to impose sanctions, but there is also the very serious concern that they don't want to punish their own population by denying them the energy supply. and indeed their own industry by denying them the energy supply that would happen if they were to punish russia immediately with complete sanctions that took effect immediately. thus, the conundrum that showed that ministers here are trying to solve once more had on the al jazeera in his hour, including the race for the french presidency narrows on the last day of campaigning before elections. making history in washington, how cassandra brown, jackson became the 1st black woman to be confirmed to the u. s. supreme court. coming up in sport, the japanese baseball star, who made history on the opening day of the seas. and peter has the details a little later.

ah, at 1st israel's or so say there on quote maximum alerts after a palestinian shot and killed 3 people and wounded several others at a busy bar and television on thursday. prime minister enough, talley bennett says police will be given quote, full freedom to act. after a 9 hour man hunt, the attacker was shot dead in a gun fight in nearby java adopted hamid's hes more from tel aviv the 4th attack and then 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 more security forces in the occupied west bank, translating into probably more raves, more detentions uncertainly, 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 the early hours at the moment from what we understand at the worshippers that we're heading earlier today for friday, player 2 at some 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 it is really media is before j at the moment as security services believe that the attacker of last night actually has some sort of help from inside israel because they believe according to these reports, that's why he headed to jeff i which is about 3 to 4 kilometers away from. yeah, because over there he would have had some sort of support from a family member id,

but i him reports from jeanine where the palestinian man 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. now the 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 america shabba fucker, the youth have lost hope in everything know, jobs, disorientation, and daily attacks by the israeli forces. well, they lost a lot of colleagues, friends, and neighbors in response to the fact there's ready minutes re how decided to shut

down this jack point. it's one of 2 linking jeanene to israel. and the other one has been closed for a while. many palestinian israelis come here for shopping engineering and thousands of palestinians cross using this check point for work into israel. many years say that this is hold collective punishment against how simeon 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 attack, 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 military rule. for them. our senior political analyst model mazata says the violence is likely to continue as long as the is really occupation exists. we are working towards a one state to reality,

not one stance solution wants that reality. meaning the think that that international human rights organizations spoke about the fact that there was an. 1 apart, aid that goes from the jordan river to the sea. and in that system of a party, we're having palestinians and israelis on top of each other. the maximum proximity between any is raid and any palestinian is 3456 kilometers. which means that the israeli military moving forward will have less and less options to you know, use thanks or plains or what have you. because this is gonna become more and more. camille, no violence between settlers and palestinians between young palestinians getting operations. we could tie this to ramadan as the x rays like to what they do the 20th anniversary of the had that are attack in 2002. we could tie it to the land day in on march 30th. but what it is really,

it's this active one k know that keeps interrupting the occupied territories. the up, the system will party is an active wilkin. and it continues to adopt and produce losses of double attacks and violence and social work on both sides. of course, as it where, although it is the system of occupation and a party that continues to be the driver of the engine over more and more violence. meanwhile, a commemoration riley has been held in garza by the palestinian group is slamming jihad. it's the 20th anniversary of the battle of jeanine that was one of the deadliest incidents in the 2nd palestinian intifada, or uprising. at least 75 people were killed in the jenin refugee camp. as is really forces fought on palestinians for almost 2 weeks. the camp was rated again by is really forces on thursday, and they kill to palestinians. he also wouldn't, there's hardly no, 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 us palestine, all of palestine to its warm, arab and islamic embrace. oh ah. the french for right presidential candidate marina pen has held her final campaign rally before elections on sunday. whole suggest the race is tightening. will upon an increasing threat to president to minute my cause chances of reelection, bernard smith 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 bomb 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 and ukraine, the environment, and help. oh, really what you did,

she is better than mac. ron in every aspect security the future for the youth purchasing power everything. 6 and she loves france, not only europe. i spoke with many people, he voted micron last time will vote japan 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 turnout regional elections last june. let a disappointing results for her party 0 goals you deliver 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. 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 gold coin. poles of long predicted,

a victory for incumbent president, emmanuel, 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 fucking 2017 many vote is felt the marine append wasn't presidential. a team has been working hard. seems to be paying all the latest holes of the race between her and president emmanuel. my phone 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, natasha butler has more from harris, where election preparations are under way the war in ukraine,

the cost of living crisis, the covey pandemic and immigration are the main issues. in this french election campaign, voters will go to the polls. on sunday, there are 48000000 people who are eligible to cast that ballot. there are 12 presidential candidates and staff in this town hall in northern paris have been preparing some of the by boxes. when you quit the house for chris, this is clicked on the p. we've been preparing for the election for 6 months. we've got about 30 staff, have been working on it. there are 68 ballot boxes here is office 68 local posting stations. opinion poll suggests that present manual micro he's running for a 2nd term is in the lead, bought the fall by policy leader. marine, the pen is closing the gap. it looks as if it could be a very tight race. now they are urging their supporters to go out and vote because there is a lot of concern in this election over the voter turnout. it has been low in the

past, and it is believed that a 3rd, the french voters are still undecided, was valuable. i'll go and vote because it's my rice, but i've no idea who i'll choose it up, but it's important to vote and vice around. those are just a don't understand the reality that could await that goes well. the top 10 candidates form sundays vote will go through to a 2nd and final round. on april 24th covered 19 testing of everyone in shanghai is continuing for a 3rd successive day along with locked down for 26000000 people in china's largest city. despite the government's order to stay home record 21000 corona virus infections were reported on friday. some citizens or warning, they're running out of food, but city leaders haven't said when the emergency measures will end. now the

pandemic has worse than the shortage of nurses in the united states. around half a 1000000 health care workers have left their job since the start of the coven crisis, somewhere laid off, many resigns and others couldn't work because of long last thing illness. my count has more from washington d. c. 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 the vaccines take hold, the stress on the nurses is far from over there. some of our colleagues within the state who's the p t s 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 full 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. no.

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 can. 0 washington still had on the al jazeera in his hour here. why half a 1000000 islanders and puerto rico remain in the dark, while others have been more fortunate. i meet the comedian from south to dawn, who says laughter is the best medicine. and this man achieved something never before seen in the 8th. peter will tell you all about it later. ah, now the extremes attempt, you, we've seen throughout the winter are no longer with us even though every now and again. you get these frontal systems coming out of europe, which is colder air, but we're still left with 20 to jerusalem, not in beirut. and then you for your eyes, south was 3018 q 8,

maybe 39. doha. so it's hot here is less hot back, it is not really cold anywhere except in the mountains, maybe off northern parts of iraq and turkey was hardly a surprise whether on the ground dusty as it has been in iraq. and that the storm may well shows up in q 8 nissan. sadie might come down to bothering, but i think that it dispersed his leisure on saturday, leaving behind fine weather. a few showers of rain for the most part, and as by john and in iran and sunshine in a warming turkey, it's cooler than it was in the levant, and in dolton egypt. but not extremely. so the picture by sunday shows an increasing breeze down the go, so temperatures have dropped a bit, but not dropped a huge amount down about $35.00. for example, in doha, it is, i think, particularly potentially stormy from the 4th da storms in turkmenistan and beyond. and the few showers as well east inside the caspian in southern africa. big difference is will be up in cape town. it's getting pretty cold and wet in jan's

back. ah, 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, blonde, or the west neglect? ah ukraine. the seeds of whom are just sierra full of struggles, full of pleasure. not other aguaro southern already moved in with her and missy dian with me. she blew in with god, asia, me, boy, a. but when i get a good a our, a brownfield, an intimate look at life in cuba, me for us on thought i was talking to my boss, hang on me wearing a humana,

but also to tell me who i am, hang that my cuba at this time on al jazeera lou ah, hello again, the top stories on the al jazeera news hour. the kremlin is denying responsibility for what ukraine says was the russian rocket attack on a train station. children or long at least 50 people killed and dozens injured and crumb it's worse. the city and eastern ukraine has an evacuation sensor for people escaping be russian invasion. european commission, president dorsal of underlying is meeting with the ukrainian president in keith. earlier she visited boucher where hundreds of civilians were found dead after the

russian retreats. she said what happened there was unthinkable. israel's forces are on quote, maximum alert after shooting dead. a palestinian gunmen who killed 3 people in tel aviv. the palestinian authority president has condemned the attack. israel is closing a crossing into the occupied westbank in response. 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 as senators voted 53 in favor, 47 against hydro, 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 has 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 get tangy 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 major. she's also highly qualified, intelligent people 1st, 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 further 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. this 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 enter supporter say, just as importantly, she will serve as

a trailblazing role model and inspiration for generations to come. heidi jo, castro al jazeera washington will get an update with our white house correspondent, kimberly how can because the incoming, you a supreme court justice, cassandra brown, jackson, it will appear in a short while with the president. can really tell us what to expect. we expect that this will be a celebration. this is something that the u. s. president promised to do on the campaign trail. he promised to put a black woman on the supreme court and he wants to highlight this in the celebratory a ceremony. so this is what will take place in the south lawn of the white house. the band has been warming up over the past few hours in the next hour or so. this is what we're going to see. the u. s. president, along with the vice president. com la harris and the associate justice to the supreme court to talk you brad jackson as well. so we'll have an opportunity to hear from her. 2 now that this confirmation vote has occurred about this historic

nature, this is something that the white house says will be a momentous occasion. and they want to highlight this for the american public and biden might be came to highlight this as well. why is this important for him and be administration? yeah, this is really a difficult time for this president. not only is there sort of a sour mood among the american public as it continues for merge out of coven 19. but there's frustration over the ongoing price heights that have occurred in the united states the 40 year high when it comes to inflation, sort of a sluggish economy. and the war ukraine has also left americans very sort of depressed and, and frustrated that unfortunately has left the president sort of paying the price. in fact, he's had some poll numbers early this week that are among the lowest in his presidency . his approval rating. hovering it about 40 percent, that's not what you want for president whose party is about to go into

congressional election some 7 months from now. he really needs a victory and he sees this as a victory. and that's why there's a bit of politics to play here. as well, of course this is a historic occasion, but the president are also hoping to see some momentum, politically on this and move forward in terms of trying to raise those poll numbers as he looks towards those november congressional election. thank you so much. kimberly hallett reporting from the white house pakistan's prime minister is set to address the nation before a vote of no confidence takes place in parliament on saturday or on cons, expected to lose the vote and to be ousted. the supreme court ruled on thursday that he acted unconstitutionally, by blocking a motion of no confidence do. last sunday, judge said, con, broke the law by making the president dissolve parliament and coal for an election . let's go live to come on. hi there. joining us from islamabad. so what are m. ron's cons? a political options right now. it well,

it's very difficult to say because enron khan says he's going to fight in the end or door. the odds are stacked up against him. deal position of god has been celebrating thing that this is a wickertree for democracy. however, emerald hahn, i said that he is going to stick to his permission. i need not going to budge by re dining. so a precarious situation indeed. but we've been door that the prime minister was given 3 options by the bug, assigning military chief. according to the report he had met with the opposition leaders did, and the t options he was given was red dying of face the award of no confidence alternatively beat eddy for snap elections. the opposition, it seems, has turned that down they want to be able to come in for at least dead next year, which is the remaining tenure of embrun cons government. they want to move to the
