will continue. because beginning, i mean another stage of the separation is beginning. and i'm sure this will be a very important moment of this entire special iteration dawson jabari is in moscow . understand russian officials also been talking about the concerns of nuclear weapons in the conflict. tell us what they've been saying. yes, the russian foreign minister was asked whether or not the russian military had any intention of using the tactical nuclear warheads they have in their arsenal and circuit lab. rove answered by saying that his country has no intention of using anything but what he called conventional weapons in the battlefield. in this so called special military operation in ukraine. the foreign minister saying that the decision to use non conventional weapons would have to be made by the commander in

chief, that is president vladimir putin. and he believes that the russian military will continue to be using the conventional arsenal that they have at their disposal. now we've also been hearing from the russian defense minister, who at a meeting with his officials here in the russian capital, set that the supply of weapons by the united states and western countries. ukraine is a reason that he believes the conflict is dragging on and it's what he believes. the wes want to show who saying that the united states is more interested in dragging on this conflict and will continue to fight until the last ukrainian soldier in order to achieve their goals, which is many leaves here is to stabilize and weaken this country. now, since the start of this special military operation that russia launched into ukraine on february 24th, the united states government has given new

b $2500000000.00 in special assistance to the korean government in the form of aid and financial aid. as well as military hardware, and this is what the defense minister, the russian defense minister was saying is part of the problem. the feeling here is now that conflict has shifted slightly. many of the analysts that we see speaking on russian tv, talk about how this concept is no longer just about russia. and ukraine is much larger than that now. and at some even saying that this is very much a conflict that is ongoing between russia and the west. and that was jose giovanni from moscow. and ukraine says it's repelled a number of russian attacks in the east of the country. it's part of moscow's new offensive, dubbed the battle for don bass. its forces are trying to push through defenses in east, in ukraine. after failing to capture key is not the reply. burnett street,

the line school bus, they in the region, some ukraine's defenders repels. 7 enemy attacks, destroyed 10 tangs 18 armored units an 8 wicked one out of the system and a model unit. ukraine's air force has hit $7.00 a day before one plane for us, and to close beside before when someone was, as i said back in 2016. if they step on our land, let them come in. they'll stay here forever. there's enough land for everyone to be buried there. they'll get what they deserve. more now from the thought thought about in the ukrainian capital kid so. so what are you hearing about the status of operations in the to the country while last night prisons events get said at the old indication so that russia has started a 2nd phase of the war and a major offensive on the eastern, at regions right after that. we have seen that there has been a more than a 1000 attacks conducted by the russia forces over the ukrainian targets here. and

they're all over over overnight. so it was long and stated that the russian forces had withdrawn from deer regions around chief and that troops had been re director to re position a gross debt that the eastern regions in, in, in, in ukraine. so now a hot cave is under the heavy shelling and the fierce fights are taken place in hockey incriminate. yesterday we have seen that wifes wheeling. we're trying to escape there. that the did the town they have you, sheldon, several of them were killed. now the fight is intensify in particularly across all the front line off the off the don't boss vision. jennifer also was another heart support through the night and they have seen that they also been a shout here and one better than a very much. heavily mcclare is another place that now did this fight in his taken place and we know that the civilians there, it has been almost a week that they do not have access to the water and the electricity as well.

however much you pull particularly is important because for ukraine it has been a symbol of the resistance since weeks. and now russia has given at that. and under that line today are fighting a ukrainian troops here too. as together in the still as also stewart laid on their arms and to surrender. green officials now are seen that they will not surrender, doesn't matter what they are going to withstand, the russian attacks here, this steel work is quite a big one. indeed is the largest in, in, in europe. and we know that alongside this ukranian troops among scientists, you ran into of 0 some more than a thousands of civilians including children that are stock and waiting to be re created. and this is not the only place the civilians are waiting to be created just today. the goal of law said that despite not having an agreement with russia on the recreation corridors, they start to,

to be creative people. and he gave the example of creaming, he said that people could not recreate, and now they are captured by the welcome and not too low the same scenario. to repeat here they are connected, they are a bit create and people, despite the shutting continued. thanks so much for so thought about that. at least 15 people have been killed in explosions in afghan. the stance capital 2 schools in the west of cobble were hit eye witnesses, a hand grenades were use 30. others were wounded trying because heading towards another political crisis, done that i know 24 hours after a new cabinet was sworn in opposition. parties are planning to bring down. the government have been daily protest against president of the bio roger boxes resignation. shanker is struggling with its worst economic crisis that lead to power concent, shortages of food,

fuel and medicine. now fernandez is in columbus. so me now how those protest looking last time we spoke there were gathering behind you that tried the last time. it was just after that march by the national people's power coalition had started where you saw the stream of thousands of thousands of people behind me. and i right now behind me is the actual venue that, that marches heading towards have come here. because people are a minute around waiting for those marchers to come here for a final rally. not these obviously people who couldn't maybe make the walk. it lasted for 3 days from the southern town of b ruler and some of the key slogans for that is, let's take back the population of the people stolen money. let's in the course of 74 years, a reference to the 74 years of political rule by different political parties and things like that. so what di,

this sort of correlation is pushing for. they said that a got of a roger parks of the president, his brother, the prime minister, man, the roger pox. and the government must go, irrespective of the fact that the president has sought to bring in new faces in the form of a new cabinet brought in on monday. at the same time where the opposition effort stand those efforts in parliament to try and bring down the new government so well, it's like this. there were 2 things being talked about at the early stages. one is a no confidence motion brought against the government. and if that is passed by a simple majority, the government must stand down and the president must bring in or appoint a prime minister that he feels has the confidence of the house. now it's not until the opposition parties are 100 percent sure of having those votes. don't forget that the government of got a barrage, epoxy had

a majority in parliament. they had also cobbled together 2 thirds majority that has since been ruptured with at least 40 of that partnership. stepping out saying they will sit as independent in the parliament. so that is a problem. the other issue is the possibility of an impeachment against the president even more difficult, politically, because it needs a 2 thirds majority. but what now is being talked about by opposition parties and we seem to be hearing that the prime minister is alluding to that fact is a constitutional amendment and amendment that brings back some of the changes in the last constitutional amendment which strengthened the hand of parliament that diluted the powers of the president and literally a sort of looked at a more democratic form of rule. so the opposition party is yes, j b, the terminal national alliance or all and hoping that the government in the event that there is no cur, nor confidence motion is not passed, will accede to their request to change the constitution and allow

a more sort of democratic government and governance, but for protested here. and those who have been sort of sitting it in outside the president's office in gold face that does not seem to be appeasing them. they said they want the government gone. all right, thanks so much. michelle fernandez, still had on al jazeera family name linked to an oppressive pass, but it's not slowing down the front. right to be the next president of the philippines and the environmental cost of coverage. we looked at plastic pollution problems in hong kong. ah, richard, he has begun the, the full world copies on its way to cattle kill travel package to the hello there. let's look to south asia and it's all about the scorching heat, those relentless, hot and dry conditions plaguing northern and central parts of india. people trying

to get some relief from that heat. now we have got heat wave warnings out for northern and central areas, temperatures touching into the early forty's in places like new delhi. now they could be some relief coming on thursday. we've got funder storm watches out. those clouds rolling across woods, the ne, bringing some sharp, a thunderstorms as well, isn't gusty winds to places like rochester. we could see some sandstorms here, but much of the weather action is going to be that northeast corner of india and bangladesh. we have a look at the 3 day in darker. we are going to see thunderstorms through to friday with the temperature picking up. now, temperatures are going to be on the up across more than areas of china, beijing sea, nearly 30 degrees there with some gusty winds, blowing their way further east remains clear for the korean peninsula with sunshine in so, and it's an improving picture for japan, but things are going to change her, we've got a mass of wet weather pushing across, tie one, edging into southern areas of japan. so places like you shoe and haunt you are

going to be rather wet in the days to come at sure weather update. i saw official airline of the joy i don't get a guest with ah ah,

you're watching al jazeera, let's recap our headlines now. russia has said now the deadline for ukrainian soldiers and body opal to surrender. moscow says the lives of the troops inside the still works plant will be spent. if they seize what moscow called senseless resistance before 1300 g m t. ukraine says it's repel the number of russian attacks in the east of the country. as part of an offensive by moscow dumped the battlefield dumbass after it failed to capture, keep from anchors heading towards another political crisis less than 24 hours after a new cabinet was sworn in the opposition parties are planning to bring down the government these right. the army says it's detained. 5 palestinians as part of what they're calling counter terrorism activities. troops early a close the road between nablus and janine that the entrance to the village of

vodka. they did it to protect israeli settlers who are marching along the route towards the former, illegal settlement of homage. it was evacuated in 2005, this part of israel, so called garza disengagement plan. that abraham has more from jeanine and the occupied westbank. these ready army has already declared the area, i doubt the illegal settlement, outpost of omission at close military zone since december. yet we're still seeing hundreds and hundreds of settlers come to that area, raid the side, with the protection of these really army with talking about more than 600 or 650000. is the settlers living in more than $200.00 illegal is really settlement an outpost outposts scattered across the west bank, which is why many palestinians will tell you that they feel like they are now

living in islands around supplements. these settlements enjoy this support for from the israeli government. they have their resources, they take a palestinian resources, they have infrastructure and they are expanding and expanding at the expense of the palestinians. when we talk about thomas, which is the illegal is really is settlement that was evacuated in 2005 as part of the gaza disengagement flat. according to what israel has called it. this a settlement has been proven why is really court that it was built on private palestinian land a 17 year old palestinian girl shot by israeli forces during a raid in the ard west bank, his guide, hannon, her daughter was injured on saturday. mother says she had been on her way to an english class in the city of janine lose 21. people have been killed during his very operations across the west bank during the past 3 weeks. she israel says its

actions are in response to palestinian attacks. the israeli army says as strikes of hit camps used by hamas in garza, also a rocket was fired from the strip toward southern israel. no casualties have been reported. neither attack rocket was intercepted by israel's ed defense system. hamas had warned it would retaliate against israeli actions that the law firm of compound in occupied east jerusalem. anyway, i view with utmost severity, the remarks accusing israel of violence directed against us. and they are those who are encouraging rock toying and the use of violence against the citizens of the state of israel. this is unacceptable to us. this is the result for the fighters, especially hamas, which are trying to ignite violence, induce lemme, we will not allow this to happen in the state of israel will continue to provide for and says, got the dignity of all of us to enable everyone to celebrate in jerusalem, and most of all our forces will continue to provide security for the citizens of

the state of israel. no. humans who the rebels have agreed to end the use of child soldiers of fault during 7 years of civil war. the fees signed the deal to stop recruiting children in armed conflict and attacking schools and hospitals. the u. n . says the host, these have committed to releasing child soldiers within 6 months now, pose of a close in the final rounds of east timor presidential election ages knew his nation as grappled with political instability in recent years. and the to run off. candidates blaming. chava. know by laurie at joseph ramos, auto received 46 percent of the votes in the 1st round is up against incumbent francisco gutierrez. the next leader will be sworn in on the 20th anniversary of east timor independence. in may, jessica washington is following developments from jakarta. we do expect counting to start at around 10, g. so in coming hours and that is expected to take around 3 days. we could of

course, have an indication of who is in the lead, depending on the progress of counting in particular districts. as you noted in that 1st round of the elections, josie ramos horta put up a strong show and was able to secure a 46 percent of percent of the votes. of course, it wasn't enough to secure him the presidency, but it does place him in a strong position for this ronald. however, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that it will be. he will be victorious in his run all round. one of the challenges that his competitor francisco good terrorist faced in the 1st round with some fractures within his own party, which basically diluted his level of support for the 1st round. what remains to be seen now with this, ronald round, the final round of the elections is whether people who voted for those all the candidates will who they will end up supporting in this round that remains to be

seen. and we've heard from both of the top to contend is that they do intend to engage in dialogue and that they go with ultimately stability for team or less state. now, it is a team unless they use asia, the youngest democracy, but it has grappled with some concerns from young people, in particular that it's political system continues to be dominated by the old god. and, and the rivalry between the candidates and parties tend to take up more focus than the actual issues that impact the daily lives of the people of team would stay. now, the son of a former dictator is the favorite to become the next president of the philippines. for nun bung bung, marcos junior says he wants to return the country to its former glory jemila allan dog and reports manila. 5 ah, seen one, not a new phone, but marcus junior is the front runner in the presidential election in maine. but

for some one who is running on the platform of unity, he is seen as the most divisive candidate. that's because the marcus named conjures up images of corruption, decadence and oppressive rule. many say it was the day when democracy died. on september 21. 1972 marshal law was imposed by former precedent. ferdinand marquess thousands were jailed, tortured and killed. that brutal rule lasted for 14 years, and it remains to be the darkest period. in recent philippine history, 64 year old baldwin is the only son of the dictator ferdinand marcus senior. he died in exile in white after the revolution which toppled him in 1986. it may seem surprising to many now, but the marcus political resurgence didn't happen instantly. political observers said the marcus as have spent years using social media to rewrite history.

oh. 6 despite widespread outrage in 2017 president rodrigo to dare to allowed his predecessor to be buried in the revered hero cemetery in manila. many see the rehabilitation of the marcus image is nearly complete. miko simply wants to preserve his family's ill gotten wealth and one's got and bid. thus, he probably left things beyond bills, but more interested and more self interested. it will be a continuation of the old regime. despite his political pedigree, marcus junior has been made with cases and debts both here and abroad. he was convicted of tax evasion, his family's multi $1000000.00 estate tax to remains unpaid and he is facing the largest ever contempt case, filed by a u. s. court al jazeera requested an interview with the marcus campaign team,

but we didn't get no response. the candidate has also missed other media interviews, and most of the presidential debates. but bumble marcus junior says, all he ever wants is to return the country to its former glory for many filipinos here. all they see is the sun desperate to leave the country. that other is accused . his parents of ransacking jamal alan dog and al jazeera manella, a digital ryan's group is warning u. k. officials. their electronic devices connected to the highest levels of government appeared to have been infected with spies, software citizen lab says the spyware is known as pegasus. it's a product of these robi psy brahms dealer, enter. so group, the watchdog is linked the hacking of devices in the u. k. prime minister's office and the foreign office. vanna, so clients in the united arab emirates, jordan and india. none of those countries has commented,

u k. government says it doesn't comment on security matters either. and the so denies the allegations. the white house says it's disappointed with the court ruling that struck down a nation wide mosque mandate on public transport. a federal judge in florida rolled the u. s. centers for disease control and prevention that overstepped its authority and it comes as new cases are increasing. john henry reports from chicago, with new cases rising along with cove in confusion mask mandates in the us or more muddle than ever does have a great fight. in florida, a federal judge appointed by then president donald trump on monday, struck down a mask requirement on planes, trains, and buses across the us saying the biden administration exceeded its authority. it doesn't matter to me what they do of florida. i'm so we'll be, where am i some travelers say they're happy join mass. last

school in the white house is it's reviewing that decision. so this is obviously a disappointing decision. the cdc continues recommending wearing a mask and public transit. as you know, this just came out this afternoon, so right now the department of homeland security who would be implementing and the cdc are reviewing the decision. and of course the department of justice would make any determinations about litigation. the federal government last week extended the transportation mask mandate until may 3rd. the biden administration has not said whether you would appeal, most people are still wearing masks with the airport, but the biden administration says it will no longer enforce the transportation mask mandate. airlines are happy, they've been fighting against this rule, and now they want to return to pre panoramic business. as usual, the news comes is covered cases surge with a new sub varying called b a to reportedly 30 percent more contagious than previous variations following
