1:05 pm
russia has blamed what it calls ukrainian nationalists for what it describes as a humanitarian catastrophe here. but ukrainian president vladimir zalinski blames russia's invading army, claiming an, an address to parliamentarians in south korea. the 10s of thousands of people are likely to have been killed in the city. my tuple, roonan marie, opal is destroyed. there are tens of thousands of dead. but even so, the russians do not stop the offensive. they want to make an example of mario pals . the one, several 100 people are now thought to have died in a theatre where many families had taken refuge. drone footage shows the extent of the devastation to that one building that was attacked in spite of the word deity or children. being marked clearly on the ground, president zalinski says the coming days will be crucial for ukraine with the expected, renewed offensive in the east. he says the russians have amassed an army of tens of
1:06 pm
thousands and have every intention of repeating what they've already done it. mario pope robert bride al jazeera live if. meanwhile, the russian and bella, russian presidents are in the far east for talks, blood reputed alexander lucretia, and i have been at a cosmos room marking rushes annual space day. but discussions about ukraine are likely to dominate their meeting because shanker has insisted on taking part in negotiations to end the conflict. and many of the russian troops who crossed into ukraine haven't gone through bella. ruth, let's find out more retorts of jabari. joining us from moscow, so obviously, bela ruth, strong ally of russia. what more do we expect to come out of this meeting between the 2 presidents? well, the russian president vladimir putin had a few words to say about his so called special military operation. that is ongoing
1:07 pm
in ukraine. the president said that the goals that are russia has set out to achieve in ukraine are quote, noble and they will be achieved. he was very confidence and, and quite happy at this occasion. and he said that the soldiers that are fighting in ukraine are courageous and fighting very efficiently, and that they will continue until they are a mean objective is achieved. and according to vladimir putin, the reason he decided to as send in russian troops to ukraine was for at russia's own security as well as to protect the people in the eastern part of ukraine. the president is very clearly a saying that he is not going to end this operation any time soon and that it is going to continue until their end goal is achieved. and he's speaking now currently with the bell. russian president, alexander lucas jenko, who's one of his strongest allies. we've often see the 2 men side by side when the
1:08 pm
russian president is marking a major occasions in russia. and today is one of those occasions. the 2 men arrived at the was shot knee a cosmo jerome in rushes, far east, a more region to mark this a very monumental day in russia. a vladimir putin even saying that he remembers as a 9 year old boy in 1961. when the 1st man i went into space for 1st russian to do so in the world. and he's a also been speaking to the astronauts that are at this as facility. and clearly delivering of message a given the current climate that russia finds herself in it. really saying that the says in ukraine is one that will be achieved no matter what. and she is going to be speaking with alexander of the christian coe about further cooperation between the 2 countries. the beller, russian president had said that they want to be
1:09 pm
a part of this so called peace negotiation process that is ongoing with the ukrainian side. they've even offered to be one of the security guarantors that ukraine is looking for in terms of any kind of final agreement that they would have with russia. and they of course, also hosted 3 rounds of in person discussions between the russian and ukrainian negotiators. so certainly, bella ruth is very important to russia and the bell russian president, very close ally of latin we put in 2 men are now discussing further the situation in ukraine, and we expect them to speak to the media following. there are one on one session. ok, thank you. also, we'll check in with you later. jabari was reporting for us from moscow. will russian back shepherdess forces say they did not use chemical weapons and attempts to take full control ameria poll despite ukrainian allegations to the country. so the u. kays armed forces minister says they can't yet verify allegations. the
1:10 pm
russia have use these chemical weapons in mariel. the ukrainian politician ivana compiler says moscow used a quote, unknown substance which caused people to suffer respiratory failure, but no evidence has been put forward. so i'm afraid that we know nothing more than than you've been able to report what she stood there was some report circulating on ukrainian social media yesterday evening. that chemical weapons had been used in mary paul overnight. that's not something that defense intelligence here in london have been able to confirm nor any of their intelligence count offs in with our allies around the world. and indeed, pleasant presidents. lensky address last night, also referred to report, so there's been no verification ratings. etha. meanwhile, the pentagon is warning about russia is reported appointment of a new general to oversee its forces in ukraine. the u. s. says alexander veronica
1:11 pm
has a history of using brutal tactics with no regard for civilian life and infrastructure . veronica has been called the butcher of syria by son. he oversaw an era campaign that flattened entire cities. and there were accusations of targeting hospitals as well. president vladimir putin gave veronica the hero of russia metal for his role in syria. it's one of the country's highest awards. he and other senior russian leaders have shown in the past and you mentioned syria is one example have shown clearly in the past their disregard for avoiding civilian harm. their utter disregard in many ways. for the laws of war. long conflict and the brutality with which they conduct and prosecute their operations. there is a track record here, before ukraine of russian brutality. and you've seen it on display every single day of the last 46 days. sadly,
1:12 pm
we can all expect that that's those same brutal tactics at st. disregard for 1st civilian life and civilian infrastructure will probably continue as they now focus on in a more geographically confined area in the don bush last week to samuel romani, who's a military analyst and associate fellow at the rural united services institute. he's joining us from oxford over in the u. k. welcome to al jazeera, samuel romani, 1st if we can talk about this appointment of this new general by the president of the russian president vladimir putin. why do you think his appointed him now? well, alexander's warner cobb has got a handsome man of experience in russian battlefield campaigns, including wars of patricia. he fought in detection war from 2003, but was heavily involved in lead levelly of grows ne. and he also was actively involved in the syrian campaign and he has a center drills encourage the rushes, you launch airstrikes and syria. and he also would have played
1:13 pm
a vital role in the showing that the syrian voices and their lion proxy the guerra g c. and has bla weren't organized and cohesive unit, who is good for the organizational efficiency of the russian military. and he had the track record of success, even of his tactics have been brutal, right? we know about his track record on his history, but i suppose, i mean, my question is why, at this particular point now, and will he be changing the russian strategy? well, the point now is because the russian military campaign is not going to plan these, but you network seizure, keith, and now they're fighting a much longer at rachelle warren don bass gran, which much more lined with the kind of battle field experience at one a comp has in chechnya and to lesser extent in syria and also during the car is that familiar to a lot of the russian officials, mountains there's there because of the experience in the southern military district as the head of it. so a combination of experience and is track record will ensure that the organizational logistical failings of the russian military lead russia hopes will be ironed out.
1:14 pm
that the belief by many is that even in fact, the report is on the grounds in ukraine, is that russia's military is preparing for a push to expand control in the countries east and to take the entire dumbass region. and to effectively crated land bridge to okay to crimea, is that what you think is, is going to happen and over what timeline. so i think the land bridge crimea could happen very quickly because it depends really on the survival of maria. paula looks as if the forces in variable are running out of both food and ammunition. the i don't. yes, she was. are public claim the control deport though the ukrainians deny that. but looks at my apple is about to fall in the near future, which will give brush to that land bridge. the rest of the staff which will be the takeover of the remainder of don bass, is much less clear because large cities i, kirk, he's in a data, have shown a great deal of resilience so far as unclear whether even if russia were to double or triple its forces and don bass, it's on western officials or fearing that they'll be able to make that numerical advantage count so far they haven't. how will the ukrainians be able to to fight
1:15 pm
back so much depends on the kind of weapons that they get from the west sale. they have a good supply and he can't, can't de shipment missiles coming from britain. they want to switch blade browns are coming in from the united states. now they need more ground artillery. the czech republic tanks are good, they need german tanks like leopards and mortar tanks. those things are taking a minimum of 6 weeks to kathy believe latest reports about the german leopard. thanks so much will depend on whether they can match the weapons they already have in the west with artillery and also how the out russian des, weaponry performs. because he's as a brush, as you losing less left precision weapons like it's hinders and much more ab damn bombs and other lat, weaker forms of equipment and guided development because they don't really care, but simply in lies and trying to cut costs. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much, sandra romani for speaking to us from oxford. thank you. once more had on the al
1:16 pm
jazeera, these are including this faced with public anger. chinese officials is a strict walked on in shanghai, but they expect covered 19 infections to keep raising. plus, i'm allan fisher in washington, dc, the unmarked and almost untrue civil note. the bike and white house is doing something about the problem of so called gorse guns. land title holder is chelsea and need to produce an unlikely champions. lee come back and his with that still here with that story a little later. ah, but 1st, her lancaster defaulting on $51000000000.00 of external debt, as it waits for a bailout from the international monetary fund. it finance ministry says it's a last resort as an economic crisis that's caused weeks of protest deepens. officials say the move will preserve foreign reserves for food and fuel imports. warren, the story with michelle fernandez, joining us from colombia,
1:17 pm
tell us more about how the government is dealing with this external debt. it seems to be dealing with things far too late, according to economists to have been calling for essentially a sort of a moratorium or a plan this debt restructuring for many, many months now they've said don't allow the foreign reserves. what of a precious little foreign reserves that are remaining? don't use them for the debt repayment. instead, restructure the dead. talk to people, negotiate and keep those precious foreign reserves for your imports and for us and for services. they decided against that. and just this morning we had an announcement to say that it has decided that in the interim, all debt repayment are going to be stop. now economies do say that the, the sort of advantage of this is that they will not be officially or formally a sort of in the dog house, so to speak,
1:18 pm
for defaulting on it. never sin shall up again, de dependents in 1948. have they actually defaulted on dead and the government put on a brief 15 saying they weren't going to start. but now they've been forced to the wall and they've talked about in the interim, having to sort of stop payment of their debt for economy. say this does comes up quite late, but they're scrambling to try and sort things out. they start negotiations with the i m f shortly. and as you've been reporting over the past few weeks now the, the impact of all of this is that there has been a real shortages on people right across sir lanka. tell us more about the impact of having on ordinary sh. lincolns absolutely. it's down to not having any enough money to bring down those essential. i mean, i'm just outside the fight. finance minister here in columbus. it's officials from here that made that announcement to sort of horror debt repayment. but the people this, this complex actually just on the other side,
1:19 pm
down the road or to my left is the presidential seca dated, where those hundreds of 1000 hundreds of professors have been congregating now, going into their 5th, did the angry because there's no mid folder that can be got there in short supply food stocks, i in short supply, cooking, guess fuel all across colombo to dade, there are no long queues for fuel, and people are just angry that just could have been averted if things had been planned better. and that's why people are so angry. and one key factor is the issue with medicines. doctors, health workers have founded an alarm, a massive sort of a warning that things are critical. let's take a look. so long as national health service is the only option for those who can't afford private health care, they seek treatment here at the national hospital in colombo, or in a network of state hospitals or the countries economic crisis has hit them hard,
1:20 pm
mangled up when most people are helpless, we are told to buy everything from outside, even the needle used to check sugar levels has to be bought from outside. there is no point coming to a government hospital for treatment. doctors have been warning of an impending medical disaster as they see shortages affecting their ability to treat patients. many doctors are reluctant to speak on the record, but some union members are speaking out. there may be a situation if this continues. when a preproposal come with the road traffic accident wont be able to get the surgical services. i can't exactly say when it is going to happen, but if nothing rescuer will thing happens, you may have to see one dark beer like that. the private sector is also facing shortages of hot medication, pediatric and other drugs and consumables. patients already their planning panic. now the ag edition pharmacy,
1:21 pm
they write aids going lower stocks are going aldosterone to near jewelry and a la sucrose because almost all sorted and d. oh, brother. oh no, no, we are going to continue this in future. the government is facing an acute shortage of foreign currency that's affecting its ability to pay for imports. the ministry of health, as it is now allocated $14000000.00 to secure medical supplies. but critics say the government is risking lives ah, rocketing prices, shortages of food, cooking, gas, and fuel, and 13. our pockets have brought you long. consider the streets, anger, and frustration has led to continuous proto, here outside the president's office for the past 3 days. the government says it's taking action, but doctors are desperate thing, lives being put in danger. and a warning that the crisis will only work if supplies on provided fernandez. odyssey
1:22 pm
ra symbol, the u. s. s. told non emergency staff to leave shanghai because of a surgeon co with 1900 cases of china's handling of the outbreak. patients been criticized for what it's done to control the virus. it's now easy restrictions. in some neighborhoods, the city is 26000000 people have been under strict lockdown for the past 2 weeks crossing over to katrina. you joining us from beijing to tell us what more about the measures katrina that have been east. well, shanghai authorities say 43 percent of all neighborhoods in shanghai have had their restrictions either. but what this means really varies from neighbourhood to neighborhood. in many cases, what it means is that if your particular residential compound has not have had any positive coven case for about 2 weeks, you may be finally allowed to walk out your front door. and that means you can get
1:23 pm
some walk around the courtyard of your compound, but in many cases you're not allowed to actually leave your compound and entered public areas. and for the relative few that are allowed to walk into the streets, there really is not much to do because the majority of businesses remain closed. i think the bottom line is that in shanghai, most of the 25000000 people living in that city are still under some form of strict lockdown. and the reason is because of the numbers on tuesday, we had 23000 cases or just over reported of curve at 19. this is slightly down from the figures on monday, but it's still no one knew, well, authorities want those numbers to be on tuesday or shanghai official that the outbreak is still not effectively under control. and so what we're seeing here is the government really under increasing pressure to do something. it says it is eating a restrictions, but just really lovely because they are facing a lot of complaints about the way this lockdown has been handled so far. so katrina,
1:24 pm
what's been the reaction to the us off going it's non emergency stuff to leave. shanghai will turn his foreign ministry, his head back at the us and accused it of politicizing this outbreak. and surely this move does not look good for china. it gives the impression that things in shanghai are getting worse and not better, and certainly that makes staging very mad. now initially this order was voluntary was issued to non essential stuff last week in shanghai, but that was changed to a mandatory order on monday evening. the official reason was because of the arbitrary and position of curv controls in shanghai. and it also came with a travel warning for any us citizens saying that should really think twice before coming to china. but i think the reason for this are the mounting concerns about the way this is really being handled in shanghai. lots of complaints about not enough good access to fresh food. 2 essential supplies in essential services. for
1:25 pm
example, if you have other medical conditions, there's also complaints about families who are being forced to separate in quarantine. and as a, as well as some of these, these quarantine centers have been really hastily put together. so people are saying that the living conditions inside those facilities are really not up to scratch. and i think we have to remember in china, even though the vast majority of these cases are re symptomatic, they have mild or nor symptoms at all. any one who test positive for corvette 19 must be taken out of the harm and said to a separate quarantine center or a makeshift hospital in shanghai. all right, thank you. katrina, you're reporting from beijing now indonesia, parliament has passed the landmark bill to tackle sexual violence. that new law will provide a comprehensive legal framework for cases of sexual abuse until now the issue had
1:26 pm
been regarded as a private matter. victims will be able to receive compensation and psychological support. foster alone and denise just on nearly 340000 reported cases of violence against women. jessica washington isn't your car so she has more on and denisia is increasing problem of sexual violence. engineers and ministers have really described oh some. this is just the tip of the i think the indonesia, like many countries around the world does have a problem with under reporting when it comes to sexual violence. and part of the reason for that is that in the past avenues, the justice survive as a sexual assault has been limited. and there are hope today going forward with the policy of this bill that can change with now clear avenue for survivors of sexual abuse to build a case and to secure convictions against perpetrators. now 2 of the key features of this landmark legislation include beslee,
1:27 pm
that it takes what women's rights groups and survive as rights groups have called a victim centered approach. this legislation is not just about convictions for perpetrators of sexual abuse, but after an abuse happens, what happens to the victim? specifically, there is a victim of funds for compensation, which would ensure that a victim is able to secure compensation regardless of the financial status of the perpetrator of the assault. secondly, there are also all the avenues such as their psychological support. but the interesting factor about this legislation is that it's outlined some of the nuances, the different kinds of sexual abuse, including online sexual abuse, non physical, sexual harassment for marriage among all the other ways that a person can be abused, going forward, women's rights groups and survivors rights groups are hopeful that it will empower survivors to come forward and to seek junk and the 3 on is the chair woman of the
1:28 pm
national commission on violence against women. that's the group that helped right, the anti sexual violence bill. she explains how this legislation will help victims and survivors. firstly and foremost, it actually regulate 6 crimes or sexual violence that previously considered as criminal acts or partially regulated, which include sexual harassment, both physical and non physical. and it also look at the issue for one prescription as well as post barriers, asian, even post marriage. we just very are controversial in indonesia. and it also regulates originally about sexual boucher and sexual exploitation, as well as success leverage and the increasing number of electrons based on sexual balance. so this are at least some of the crimes that been regulated directly in the law. and we are also waiting to have a better if
1:29 pm
a nation on rape as well as a forced abortion, since it will be regulated under our criminal law. but it has like what we call it, a bridging article in the current anti sex all violence law. that enable the victims of rape and force abortion to also enjoy the better law on press. the doors that figures me in the justice for the victims. and also a said then i got a better sense of them's rights which included the protection and also recovery even cost are a result sla had on the al jazeera news, our we are more on the search intention in the occupied. west bank is really forces withdraw from jenny. indigenous tribes converge on brazil's capital to protest

has been killed and 7 wounded in an explosion near the southern port. city of site on the blast, demolished, a building that served as a scout center for the she, i am al political party. the cause is still being investigated is really forces have withdrawn from janine and the occupied westbank after detaining more palestinians. 17 people have so far been held and is really raids and the occupied territory is real intensified. it's incursions after a palestinian man shot and killed 3 israelis and tel aviv late last week. 5 palestinians have been killed in the raids got followed separately as real forces shot dead, a palestinian worker, and escalon stopping what they describe as an attempted stabbing attack for all on this today. but i him is joining us now from jeanine in the occupied west bank. so our palestinians, bracing for more is really incursions, nevada. and what kind of resistance are they putting up?
1:42 pm
i will show you some of the corporation we are here in the industry where we've seen young men what locks that will prevent this way army from entering the cap. so as you can see here, these stiers are being put up. there is a trash bin behind. so this is one of the entrances to the cap. but this is one of the ways that palestinians want to protect the cap. because as we all know and media and head, these really security establishment, there are things that there are thousands of gunmen and arms in jeannine and specifically inside that refugee camp set. so they've been threatening the family of ross has them. they've gotten man who was accused of killing 30 israelis in tel aviv on thursday. the been asking them to turn themselves and their families saying that they had no idea that their son was plotting anything. and they have no plans

1:44 pm
according to the israelis, they say that he stabbed a police officer, wounding him lightly. there's up a difficulty to verify the narrative and what really happened there. and this is part of what palestinians go through under these way. the occupation israel has the military has the upper hand and often decides what's happened. and it's hard for us to know what exactly happened. we know that the 14 year old, palestinian from half ron has lost his life. thank you so much. deborah. heem is reporting for us from jeanine in the occupied wes thing. so called ghost guns are in the u. s. president. sites in an efforts to toughen weapons laws. so the guns are made with kits or even with 3 d printers. they're difficult to trace. alan fisher reports from the white house. joe biden is under pressure, gun violence is picking up,
