a long delayed electoral process. maud by violence and a power struggle. and the world's richest man set his sights on twitter, launching a hostile takeover to turn the social media platform into what he says will be an arena of free speech. thank you for joining us. his being seen as a major blow to russia. the biggest warship in its black sea fleet has sunk after being damaged by a blast. the satellite images were captured on wednesday before the incident on the moss cooper. the russian defense ministry says an ammunition exploded on board, but the ukrainian military says it hit the vessel with cruise missiles while us national security advisor jake sullivan says whatever the cause losing the ship isn't good for russia. so we've been in touch with the ukrainians overnight, who had said that they struck the ship with them to ship missiles. we don't have the capacity at this point to independently verify that. but certainly the way that

this unfolded, it's a big blow to russia. this is their flagship, the moscow. and they have now been forced to admit that it has been badly damaged and they've had to kind of choose between 2 stories. one story is that it was just in competence. and the other was that they came under attack and neither is a particularly good outcome to them. al jazeera is racial sedar has more now from ukraine's capital keith early. and they have told to a senior army official in your, in your going official here. and he told me that they have here, this was despite russia, russian delegation that it was caused by an explosion. she said that they have, he did the worship by a neptune cruise missile. so he asked him,

how is that possible while did most worship is having a very advanced defense systems. he said that at 1st by the drones, we have worked at its raider system. and then later we, we strike to strike this there, the worship. so in any way, we will, we will, we know that russia a since 2014 of the dentist vision of crimea was increasing its naval forces in the black sea. and so far, the russian black sea fleet has remained intact. but now after the ukraine, particular receiving the weapons more and more from the nato countries, we can see that now the watches are coming under range of the weapons that are being used by you frame. earlier we spoke to richard vase of a defense and security analyst, where the wiki strata global risk consultancy,

it says the thinking of the russian shape or force the credit been to review strategy. it is a very severe symbolic blow. this was the main, the most important ship, at least in terms of prestige and profile in the russian black sea fleet. it also was the ship that was involved in the famous sentinel, the beginning of war and snake island when it can for the ship. confronted some brave ukrainian soldiers who resisted the attempted seizure of the island in terms of capabilities. it's an older ship soviet era. it has not been used to launch the long range. cruise missiles were seen, hit targets in western ukraine. for example, those caliper systems are coming from other ships, but it is important for air defense if the russians were going to engage in a troop landing, perhaps here on death and carry a lot of forces and supplies. so i think that it's a major blow symbolically,

and militarily, it's going to force the russians to doubt themselves, to hold back some are there other ships until they understand what happened? meanwhile, ukraine foreign minister is seeking more military assistance to break the russian c genario pole. more than 100000 people have been trapped there for weeks and they're running out of basic supplies. mary paul smith says at least 90 percent of the city has been destroyed and tens of thousands of civilians killed the kremlin claims its forces are in control of the port city. but ukraine says it's army is fighting to put to push russia back. now the u. k, meanwhile, is warning the chroma, torso, and coast young guy in the east will likely be the next targets for russia and could suffer the same violence and destruction as other urban centers like mary paul and khaki al jazeera is omar. how she's near come towards square russian air

where people can claim, assigned them in a country, such as in an embassy and so that they don't have to put their money and their lives in the hands of people from others. there are many other options to this to this issue. it's far from clear how much this scheme will cost beyond practicalities. many have expressed amazement at the choice of rwanda last year, britain itself called for independent investigations into allegations of extrajudicial killings, deaths in custody. enforce disappearances and torture in the country. and rights groups have drawn parallels with australia is experience of offshoring. asylum seekers saying, sending them to rwanda, will simply increase the risk to their physical and mental health. nadine barber al jazeera still ahead on al jazeera. we hear from the family of another unarmed black man killed by police in the u. s. why they're attorneys calling it measure and south africa, braces for more re now to the was wazoo in decades,
