life in cuba and under what again was a pleasant movie danielson. that's a daughter. what are the new one my live my cuba on al jazeera ah. ready ready russia, it's a military facility near cave warning. it will intensify its attacks on the ukrainian capital. ah, hello, i'm sorry, i'm noisy in london, you're watching algae 0 also coming up on the program. is there any forces detain at east $300.00 palestinians, off to confrontations at the alex, almost compound, an entire village, flattened by powerful landslides,

our port from later province in central philippines, where more than a 150 people have died out. as been rare, open descent in china's 2nd big associate find out why these shanghai residence station protests ah la, welcome to the program rusher is wanting it will intensify. attacks on cave after accusing ukraine of targeting russian border towns. it also says it has destroyed a weapons factory on the outskirts of the capitol. moscow says the plant made anti aircraft and anti ship missiles. charles stratford is in cave and tell us what the ukrainian government is saying about the strikes on these facilities that well, the ukrainian government has remained very quiet throughout the day has been in the

last couple of hours that finally some sort of statement has been released on the back of these russian defense ministry claims that they had hit a weapons producing factory on the outskirts of give south west of the capital city . that statement from the cave regional military administration saying, well, they describe as 3 objects. and that is literally the word that they use were hit, were targeted by russian forces last night, and they saying that they cannot, in no way issues, potentially they're not being more strikes in the near future. what's interesting is that this strike comes came literally just hours after the russian military admitted that their flagship, for the, the blank c fleet had sunk, as it was being towed back to pull. now the russian say that said the muscular that

was the name of that battleship was, was sunk because of an explosion on board. and a fire subsequently no words on any casualties from the russian side. now the ukrainians say that they were responsible for the sinking of that ship because of the firing by ukrainian forces of land to sea missiles. interesting, the also it comes that strike comes on the back of a warning from the russian defense minister yesterday initially accusing the ukrainians of attacking targets across the russian border. the defense ministry saying that it would strike targets in key if, if the ukrainians continue to strike targets across the board. and we have no way of course of confirming any strikes by the ukrainians on positions in side russia. and it's important to recognize that these kind of statements must be seen through

the prism of what is often described by western analysts and their ukrainian, the ukranian government as false flag operations, these falsified incidents. so pieces of information that ukraine and the western bacchus accused the russians of awfully often using as a pretext to strike ukrainian targets. but it's true to say that last night's incident at this weapons deco was the 1st major strike on any target inside or around k, since russian forces left the area more than 2 weeks ago. and they obviously highlights just how vulnerable the capital city remains. yes, an interesting because the suggestion had been that the russians would perhaps withdraw east concentrate that forces in the, in the don't bast region further east. what are the latest developments that

well, it has been a lot of movement in the east today as well. certainly around the besieged, inside the besieged port, city of mariel, full on the as of sea reports there of ongoing fighting the ukrainian socrates denying claims made in the last few days by the russian forces that they had taken control, full control of one of the last senses that have been fought over in that city. a steel plumbed upon called the elite steel plant in the center of the town where we have seen a fierce resistance by the ukrainian marines and members of the as of battalion. that is a ukrainian security force that have been very effective in defending mary awful. but of course the fight. this time has been extreme 7 weeks. the mariel pull has been under siege both by russian forces and by pro russians, separatists ukrainian authority, saying that there are tens of thousands of people still trapped inside the city.

the mariel mayor a couple of days ago saying that he believed up to 5000 civilians may have been killed in that or no 7 weeks of fighting. interestingly, the ukrainian deputy prime minister today again announcing more humanitarian cordele is one of which was supposed to run out of mariel to try and get some of those civilians out. but of course, we know how an successful repeated attempts at these humanitarian corals have been . there were other attempts plans for an attempt to get civilians out of the city of bare dance, which is west of mariel. and another town called talk mac, which is north scenario where we know that has been heavy fighting, also further east or further north of mary helpful. there were reports from the ukraine in socrates around the town of the region of lou ganske, telling ukrainian civilians to leave the area immediately to flee for their lives.

and we also know that there has been heavy fighting around the child, towns close to the strategically important city of sla janski's. so it certainly seems that the beginnings of this predicted large scale offensive by russian forces, many of which have left this area around cube, could well be beginning now. all right, thank you very much. charles stratford reporting titian, ukrainian capital case. thanks a lot. charles. of course it is your hearing has been a great deal of focus on the sinking of the muscular russian warship. but it's estimated the rushers actually lost nearly 3000 pieces of military equipment in ukraine. military experts put the losses down to the advanced, unmanned drones, anti tank and anti aircraft weapons. nato countries have given to ukraine or so. so the reports on this now from keith tanks, helicopters,

personnel carriers, tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment all destroyed. and these are just a small portion of the losses suffered by one of the most powerful armies in the world. when russia began is offensive it hope to capture ukraine's capital keep within days. but you please army wrists with their souls. evidently rational b, n. genic projects with moral, with its equipment, with its training and his doctrine. and as a result was soon trans. your question directly. russia has been defeated in the field to a point where it was effectively routed from the north of the country. ukrainian armed forces have taken advantage off an ambush of russian troops and columns in less than 2 months since russia invaded ukraine. it's military has lost powers of soldiers, according to ukrainian officials. it's more than the united states did in

a 20 years of war in afghanistan, and nearly a decade in iraq combined. they say russia has lost at least 479 tanks, 496 infant and fighting vehicles. 28 crafts for shapes. 32 helicopters, 784 tracks, vehicles and jeeps. in total, the russians have lost nearly $3000.00 pieces of equipment and is all considered conservative estimates. the highest profile last to date was the mosque was the phil actually bought fresh us black sea fleet. losing a flagship is in, during the war is well really bad. it said that the are, it's bad. it's going to expect band increase of the morale of the ukrainians at the time when they are on the verge of losing her, mary, who both went. many things can be said to have gone wrong for russians. general

valerie says the grain and on forces had a secret weapon. let me be your meryl at least brought him yet my shore, the mobilization of our society and people's resistance. our pilots who are older than 60 years old, come out and asked for jets. they retired from the armed forces a long time ago and asked, give us planes and we will destroy the russians. so moral is our formula for success. opinion forces have employed new technical weapons given to ukraine by nato allies. chief among them are portable anti tank guided missile systems, such as the u. s. me javelin, and his lighter cheaper cousin and lo, which have been used against russian tanks with their state in effect in the, in the turkish me to be to by dr. thrones have carried out both recognizance and strike operations portable single anti aircraft. missiles have also enabled ukrainian soldiers to take out lawful i, an aircraft as technical miscalculations,

misjudgment of the cleaning of resistance and low morale. how all contributed to russia military vulnerability in this war. these weapons are leveling the playing field. russell said that al jazeera chief, ah, now israel's premonition of tale bennett is wanting. his forces are prepared for any scenario. after violet confrontations at the alex and most compounding occupied east, jerusalem, ah, around $300.00 palestinians were detained by israeli forces. you entered the mosque before dawn on friday, as thousands of people gathered there for pres. they use tear gas and stun grenades while some palestinians threw rocks. tensions have been rising recently after deadly attacks in israel in palestinian das during subsequent raids in the occupied west bank. algiers at john holman,

says it's like it is going to be father escalation there in the coming days. i think a whole generation of palestinian use is simply taking advantage of every possible opportunity. every possible stone, every possible gun, every possible throat in order to shout their way against the occupation and weight of a political and diplomatic phase in life is the weakness of the palestinian quality and the indifference of various genes. but just recently were in bed with these really government and like all of that, i think we could see more attention on possibly another uprising at one point when there was contact between settlers and seniors. and there's always don't that you would see it. but the thing is resisting non violently why the 2nd about attacking

right now that there is more forces security forces being the buffer zone between those and these rated forces received the simians, aggravated some of them ready to getting more violent operations within israel. all war, if you look at, at the grass a few years she has more us been years, are getting involved violently or peacefully. enforcers is ready and we're seeing that inside is as much as in dr. by 30 days. i think we have moved beyond occupied 31 state apart a reality or president joe biden said last month the united states and well come up to 800000 ukranian war refugees in march, only 12 arrive by the refugee program. thousands of all those of managed to cross the border from mexico. manuel rap close until wanna where people awaiting.

if you look around the, the camp that we're at right now, the sub sport center that's been turned into a refugee shelter run by, by volunteers. and organizers that are doing a fairly good job of keeping things very much in line, but they themselves tell us that the number of people, the population currently is a lot less of that, that they've seen in recent weeks. now the reason being is that it's wholly weak here in mexico. it's also spring break in the united states is what this amounts to one of the busiest travel weeks of the year for mexico. and what happens is that a many ukrainians were trying to get to seek one are actually stuck in other temporarily stuck in other mexican cities like mexico city and, and came coon. so what we're seeing is this expectation that in the coming weeks as of next week, we should see that population balloon once more. there's an expectation also and may be concerned that there may not be enough room here at this shelter to house

everyone. but the authorities here in bar california, i've also said that that there is an expectation that that could happen. and there is a contingency plan. if that were to happen, they would open up a 2nd shelter to house. as many people as needed, child has been wont by a cus politician, that it must face consequences for backing rush as president let in that person. and his lindsey graham made the comments anti won while meeting president sy, in when, along with other american politicians. senator graham says neither taiwan nor the u . s. c. conflict with china. beijing does not recognize the islands government because it kinds it as part of its own territory. here's my promise to you and the tie with these people. we're going to start making china pay a greater price for what they're doing all over the world. with taiwan producing 90 percent of the world's high in semiconductor products. it is a country of global significance of global consequence of global
