where the race is tighter than expected. hello, the kremlin is denying responsibility for what ukraine says was a russian rocket attack on a train station. children are among at least 50 people killed and dozens injured and chrome a tourist. the city and eastern ukraine is an evacuation center for thousands who are escaping rushes, invasion will separatists and the breakaway region of done yes, say what happened is ukrainian provocation. ukraine's president is describing russia as quote evil with no limits. this is an ordinary railway, terminal crowded with people waiting for trains to be evacuated, the safer areas. they hit these people. there are witnesses, there are videos, there are 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 will speak to russell farther in the ukrainian capital shortly. but 1st, let's get more on that. talk with rob mcbride from the view. so accusations over who was responsible for this talk, what more we learning i mean, the truly horrific attack, even by the standards of what we've seen so far in this war, in ukraine 2 missiles early friday slamming into a crowded railway station where as thousands of civilians among them, women, children were trying to get evacuation trains. the death toll is now been put at 50, which includes 5 children. we understand that $98.00 people also injured, but there is an expectation that the death toll could well a mount. a footage taken at the scene of this, in the immediate aftermath shows a scene of absolute carnage. but in spite of this, the authorities in the east of the country are still telling residence there, in expectation of

a renewed offensive by the russians. that it is imperative that they tried to get out of the east of the country. lou hands don yet car to keep as quickly as possible while they still can at we have been to levine, railway station, which sees a lot of the traffic of displaced people are moving a westwood to a safer areas. it acts almost as a barometer of what we've seen during the course of this war. in the early stages, we saw hundreds of thousands of people coming this way, either to settle in the relative safety of the west or to move further into ukraine's neighboring countries in europe. as things have stabilized, and as the russian holds, an advance has been halted, we have seen a tendency for people to be moving back to believe it's safe again. but there is an expectation now with this renewed offensive by the russians in the east that we will see yet more. another surgeon, people tried to escape the fighting on coming westwards. okay, thank you. robin fried reporting from the ve. meanwhile, the european commission,

president ursula under lion, has called that attack and chronic forced despicable she was visibly shocked by the sight of dead bodies as she toward the town of butcher and said, the unthinkable had happened there. we have seen the cool face of his army, and we have seen the requisite men and the cold harshness with which they have been occupying the city here in hotel. we saw our humanity being shattered. and hades, the whole world is morning with the people of witcher, or wander lion is now in key even thus her resort. sardar is joining us from. and we've seen the 1st pictures of the meeting between vander line and the ukranian president. this is a high profile visit by a european official. what do we expect? russell in this is this so far?

the highest level? diplomatic? was it to ukraine since the start of the war? on february 24th and just air bill ahead of meeting with the grinning president, irv zalinski. she was to the butcher, where the mess a cushions have been conducted by the russian forces, and also did the mass graves that have been discovered as well. so butcher, particularly after, did a retreat that the russian forces retreated from the area. and when the local authorities and the red ukrainian forces had at over the city, there were horrific scenes left behind. so now the meeting between did did the president of the european commission or slot on the land joined by the european union foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. with president lensky is now underway, and the da da here, the issue at the main issues are going to be the sanctions and more weapons. so the prisoners and ask you of ukraine is asking europe in union, directly to target the oil and gas sector industry off or russia and asking your

opinion and completely to cut off the import off russian gas and oil. however, there is a you, this unity among the european union regarding debt, particularly germany says that it atlas needs to a years and so far hungry also has been or pausing there's, there's this approach, but that is zaleski same, that as long as you continue to import the get an oil from russia that is not good that the ward is not going to stop one of the other. i to were other i to know on the, on the agenda today. it during the meeting is the ukrainian application for the european union and press as alaska is pressuring more on european union to fasten that process process. and another item is that the ukraine in case of a peace deal with russia, is asking for the international security guarantees. but so far you, none of the european union companies have been veiling to be the guarantors for

such a bill. and these are the main items today that are being discussed between the 2 leaders over here. thank you. thank you. we're so sorry. our reporting from keith or russia has denied that it's responsible for the rocket attack and crematory cas dorsey jibari reports from moscow. the russian defense ministry has issued statements all day saying that 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 way a missile that's often used by the ukrainian military. and that distance tusker, you miss all that the russians do not. 5 have in there also 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 miniature also highlighted the fact that this message is also you have been previous attacks at last one being on march 14th, in a civilian area in the region in eastern ukraine again, where 17 people were killed. they say that this is certainly a provocation on their part, and that the russian military had nothing to do with this. and they now also share the details that they believe these new solves were launch from a, an area about 45 kilometers south west of mac or chrome, of course. and that the russians are not operating anywhere near that. new rust of european sanctions against russia were announced as 1 july and travel to keep. it includes ban on the import or purchase, a fresh coal and other solid fossil fuels currently worth 8000000000 years a year. however, this doesn't come into effect until august. russian flag ships will lose access to you. ports on 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, c food and occur. while the block will stop exporting semiconductors and high end electronics, and the full transaction band will be imposed on 4 major russian banks. beyond those sanctions, carolie knew of the center for your p policy study says ukraine can't expect too many practical outcomes of the meeting between vander lion and the landscape. i think that was the place of basically from the european party coffee and 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 natal or like member state which has an army show that it's 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 on all the issues. we know, let's say that on, for example, sanctioning banks,

we should involved in payments for gus. the commission has not there to go against pressure from certain members there. so i assume that finance the last part is not that why don't you sanction more banks, which he's been asking as well. and we feel attend the statement from yesterday that the commission has looked like that. 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 gas from which is really is really forces saying they're on maximum alerts after palestinian shot and killed 3 people and wounded several others at a busy bar in tel aviv on thursday. prime minister and i studied bennett, says police will be given quote, full freedom to act. after a 9 hour man, man hon. the attacker was found and shot dead in nearby jaffa, who thought that hamid has 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 more security forces in the occupied west bank, translating into probably more raves, more detention answer to lee, 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 an early hours at the moment from what we understand at the worshippers that we're heading earlier today for friday prayer to act. somebody 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 i have to tell you

that is really media is reporting at the moment that 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, that's why he headed to jeff. i which is about 3 to 4 kilometers away from here, because over there he would have had some sort of support from a family member. and i brought him reports from jeanine and the occupied west bank 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. 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 america shabba fucker, that she couldn't, she really youth have lost hope in everything, no jobs, disorientation and dahlia text by the israeli forces. well, they lost a lot of colleagues, friends, and neighbors on the air or forced to the attack. there's ready minutes, 3 has 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 pricing 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. over them are senior political analyst, matawan besought us as the violence is likely to continue. as long as the is really occupation exist, we are working towards a one state to reality. not once that 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 is rain is 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 this res, like to what they do the 20th anniversary of the had there are at that in 2002. we could tie it to the landing in on march 30th. but what it is really, it's this active one k no, but keeps interrupting the occupied territories. the up, the system will party is an active volcano and it continues to europe 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 i parted, that continues to be the driver of the engine over more and more violence still had on al jazeera making history in washington, how good hands you, brown, jackson became the 1st black women to be confirmed to the u. s. supreme court.

ah, the journey has begun the faithful world copies on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. gather reins a moving north with the sun. this is season true, but it's combine this year with a particularly warm western pacific or philippine sees who get this series of little circulations. one's been named the tropical cycling on its way up to guam. this, here's just an arc of collab is a tropical depression. another one here, another one, back in foss, acid, thailand, or peninsula malaysia. these 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 chance. it's not a heavy c, no, right? which is a, is gone north with the sun, but north of that as the season is changing. we're losing when to be

a fairly rapid. so in hunt, she wears recently, there was snow. st. sure. in archive. and we're left behind with the fairly warm picture for most of china, particularly warm the yangtze southwards attempts is about 4 or 5, but the average that 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 showers seem likely in fact was a warning for us. and because of these, by the violence under storms, this rain to the south now in kerala and across israel and kept the most of india, it's hot, particularly in righteous town. i saw a special airline of the journey african stories from african perspectives. this isn't well yet, i suppose i will keep a short documentary from african filmmakers from mommy and synagogue for you. she is. you all need on little bush, big mamma,

elizabeth galka. she's almost the adventures of a car and let do africa direct on al jazeera. oh, the me. hello again. the top stories on al jazeera this hour. the kremlin is denying responsibility for what ukraine says was a russian rocket attack on a train station. children or among at least 50 people killed and dozens injured. and chroma torres, the city and eastern ukraine, is an evacuation center for people escaping rushes. invasion european president european commission. excuse me, president ursula on the line has

a meeting the ukrainian president in chief. and earlier she visited boucher where hundreds of civilians were found dead after the russian retreat. she said, what happened there was a quote on thinkable israel's forces say thereon, quote, maximum alerts after shooting dead, a palestinian man who killed 3 people in town of eve. the palestinian authority president has condemned the attack. israel has closed the crossing into the occupied west bank in response. pakistan's prime minister is set to address the nation before a vote of no confidence in parliament on saturday. iran cons expected to lose the votes and his job. the supreme court ruled on thursday that he acted unconstitutionally, by blocking a motion of no confidence due. last sunday, judge said con, broke the law by dissolving parliament and calling an election come hider has more from islamic m. ron kong said he's going to fight till the end all dull

the order stacked up against him, the opposition of god has been celebrating, saying that this is a wicked tree for democracy. however, m ron hon, that he a nation, i need not going to buy by resigning a precarious situation indeed. but we've been told that the prime minister was given 3 options by the budget on the military chief. according to the report he had met with the opposition leaders dead and the options he was given was resign face the award of no confident alternatively, be ready for nap election. the opposition, it seems, has turned that down they want to be able to come in for at least that next year, which is the remaining can your, of enron, con government. they want to move to the electron reformed redoubt, which they said they're not ready for the electron. so indeed, everything up in the high political drama. this is indeed turning out to be

a political trailer redeemer on con thing. that is not going to go down without a fight, as someone portrayed. it ain't over until the ladies save us president joe biden and newly confirmed supreme court justice cassandra brown, jackson, are expected to speak at the white house long shortly. you're looking at like picture from the south lawn from the white house, brown jackson, just a reminder, overcame republican opposition. senators voted 53 in favor. 47 against heidi, so costs are 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's within 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 stevens briar when he retires in july, leaving the supreme court's conservative super majority unchanged. that 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, the french for right presidential candidate marina pen has held her final campaign rally before elections on sunday. polls now suggest that le pen as a real threat to president minute macros chances of re election. bernard smith report 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 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 in ukraine environment and help good yahoo so that she is better than micron in every aspect security, the future for the use purchasing power, everything. 6 and she loves france, not only europe. i spoke with 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 dilate 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. 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 fucking 2017. many voters felt the marina pan wasn't presidential. a team has been working hard. seems to be paying all the latest holes of the race between her and president in under my comp. 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, arianne bogart is a senior lecturer and french politics at northumbria university in northern england, and she explains what's behind lupins rise. the increase in the poor compared to a few weeks ago is largely dumb to be off 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 immigration, security, and got is not a priority. he was also much more effective than her by the way, ukraine. he was even to go across to houston. he was most trident in a support before the war in misjudged a mood of the nation by refusing to, to welcome ukrainian. whereas she was immediately saying, yes we, we need to also, she carried on her p took 60 cation strategy to make her so for the call to look more respectable, less scary. whereas he very much fiery, violent language. traders who made her fall normal to her recent

price for the 1st row is basically a lot of switching back to her. so the 2nd round, the reason she has she, she is, she is. she has a chance really to win because it's a very different situation from 2000, 17 and 17. we had a new candidate, michael was young. 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 didn't want to mind. the bed of the united nation has the worn ukraine, has pushed food prices to record highs worldwide, and warns the conflict is causing masses supply disruptions, prompting fears of global hunger crisis, will un food price index track the world's most traded food commodities. what it says is that prices increase nearly 13 percent loss one that's the highest since records began. vegetable oil saw the biggest increase by up to 23 percent. ukraine

is the world's leading exporter of sunflower oil. russia is 2nd grain prices including wheat, barley, encore, and rose, 17 percent, russia and ukraine together export more than a quarter of the world's wheat. there is effect on the world because of the increasing prices are the levels we are observing today. in tears, especially in wheat and may not get in right, because rise, we have very good supply. that means that people which are the poorest, which their expenditure depends on foot. the biggest cheryl the expenditure, it will be the multiethnic done. the countries that import used to import from a brain around 50 countries for 30 percent of those years from cleaning brush federation and of those $26.00 import to 50 percent. but there is one more effect, which is very important for us, which is the act like an outside of the prices or put the prices for the lighters have been going substantially up. and why is it so important is because it will affect the production of the next diesel. and that's what we really consider. cover

900 testing if everyone in shanghai is continuing for a 3rd successive day along with lockdown for 26000000 people in china's largest city. despite the government's order to stay home a record 21000 corona virus infections were reported on friday. some citizens are warning they're running out of food, but city leaders haven't said when the emergency measures will end. at least 12 people have died in 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.
