are among those that are being attacked now. russia is also delivered an ultimatum to one of the last pockets of ukrainian fighters and the besieged city of mario pole, telling them to lay down their arms and also proposing a 2 hour truce from $1100.00 g m t on wednesday. as i beg, has this report now listed on what russia refuses to call the war has now entered its 2nd phase, and its being dubbed the batter for don bass. this. so duration in the east of ukraine is aimed as was announced from the very beginning to fully liberate the nearest gun logan's republics. and this operation. oh will, we will continue with this beginning. i mean, another stage of this operation is beginning and then sure this will be a very important moment on this. and those for sheila parish, ukrainians caught up in the fighting a forced to flee as russian forces pummeled cities and towns ukraine's president

says russia will not be successful. that is zamora good. now we can already state that russian troops have begun the battle. the dumbass to which they have been preparing for a long time, that a significant part of the entire russian army is now concentrated on this offensive . no matter how many russian troops are driven there, we will fight. we will defend ourselves and we will do it every day. we won't keep up anything ukrainian and we don't need anything foreign. all great. ukraine says it's repulsive number of russian attacks in the east. a 2nd ultimatum issued by russia for ukrainian soldiers in mario pulled to surrender has passed. moscow had said the lives of the soldiers inside to steal works would be sped if they see what it called senseless resistance. didn't a survey, but come through lazopoulos the united states and western country and doing everything to drag out his special admitting operation as much as possible with the

grand supplies of foreign weapons. clearly signaled intention to provoke the key regime to keep fighting until the last crane were you. what? the european union is considering more sanctions on russia. we call on the russia, we continue to call in russia to stop all the illegal and the legitimate or actions connected through the aggression against ukraine and when it comes to next round of the sanctions. i think the, you highest representatives, the leaders of that you and also the representative of the member states. they're very clear that we continue to work on further sanctions. and when the time will be right, they will be announced so far calls for a cease fire or the threat of sanctions have not stop this war. and although russia may have failed to take, keep the battle for the east is one. russia cannot be seen to lose a sad bag. i'll jazeera, what shall stratford is visited, some of the hardest hit areas in easton, ukraine's. danny at school. jen in the area that we visited at close to here for

cross go call a long area along the front line. some of the heavier shelly, if not the heavier shelly so far since the invasion started out according to some of the military and people that we've spoken to in this area. and our understanding certainly what we were listening to today was evidence of dr. missiles, rocket launchers, heavy artillery being used over sustained periods of time and as a. ready say a very large area. what's also so incredible in a town like this is that there are so few people here seemly any more. local authorities, barcroft saying this made around 70 percent of this. the population of the city have already left businesses. homes boarded up, people told to close their curtains at night and avoid putting their lights on. so

we'll see if you can imagine people in this area taking this, pushed by the russian forces very seriously indeed. and we also visited the train station in here in pa cross. they have a, a daily train now taking those that wants to leave the area out into safe areas. and as i say, very few people on it. i spoke to one young mother with her 10 year old son. she said that she basically couldn't, could, could, could, couldn't contain her fears any, any longer living in the area that she was a that she'd escape from. and she said that she didn't want her son to become a victim. like the many people we saw killed in boucher and out there. i don't think it barry has more on the russian offensive now from the russian capital moscow. the russian foreign minister surgery law was asked whether or not the russian military would ever consider using their tactical nuclear weapons that they

have in their military arsenal. and the foreign minister was adamant that russian military will continue to use what he called conventional weapons during this conflict in ukraine. the russian defense minister survey chicago has also been speaking to a number of military personnel at a meeting here in moscow. and according to the russian defense minister, the reason that this conflict is continuing to drag on for so long. this is now day $55.00 of the so called special military operation, which began on february 24th. the reason for the fact that it's taking this long is that according to the defense minister, the united states continue to supply weapons and 8 to the government in kiev is really the issue at the heart of this conflict. dragging on for this long survey sugar is saying that the united states has really continued to pour weapons into

ukraine to try and drag this conflict as long as possible in an attempt to continue to destabilize. and we can russia and its influence in the region, or u. s. military flights, delivering more arms to ukraine to both to the countries. austin was forces trying to repel russia's offensive. this is part of the new a $1000000.00 package of military assistance. the pentagon spokesman says this will not be the last package they sent, but so the u. s. is prepared to continue providing military a ukrainian forces we have helped deliver not just from our stocks for from stocks of other nations, more than 50000000 rounds of small arms ammunition of various calibers 50000000. and that's the kind of stuff that the ukrainians are literally using every single day instances invasion began. so all of that will also be factored into this package going forward. meanwhile, the ones actually generally said the lives of hundreds of thousands of people hang

in the balance and is called for a truce during the orthodox easter weekend. to day i am calling for a 4 day hold the week humanitarian balls beginning on holy serves they and running through easter sunday, april 20 force to allow for the opening of a series of humanitarian corte doors. humanitarian balls would provide the necessary conditions to me to, to crucial imperatives. first, safe passage of all civilians willing to leave the areas of current and expected confrontation in coordination with the international community of the rev cross. seconds beyond humanitarian operations is already taking place. at balls, we will offer the safe delivery of life saving humanitarian aid to people in the car. thus, it areas such as mario ball, carson don outs and lawns where donald as their research fellow philippines

security, the royal united services institute, he joins his by skype from london now. so as you've been saying, the east and dumbass region now at the center of this conflict, but actually it's been locked in battle for the last 8 years. why is there so strategically important for the russians? also the russians concentrating on the eastern will potentially allow it to achieve more modest objectives. firstly, securing the don barza the next in the hands and also enabling, gets to maintain the lambda corridors that it now house from russia to a crimea. essentially, after phase one of operations failed to take e f, and install the programming governments and move to a whole country strategy. now, we see that russia repairing back, they range to try and make something the military objectives that could also achieve some political objectives. it's been described as

a new phase in the conflict that's now nearly 2 months old. how quickly could russian forces potentially sees that don't master aging? because anticipation is that they might want to decline some sort of victory on may . 9th yes it same regardless of what happens by may 9th, that still be some political statements or victory in the area, but it's going to be quite difficult for the russians mean, they're offensives across the whole of the country and phase one stalled and some of those issues they will be able to fix and adapt or both. those are systemic for sure will be quite difficult for the bushes to take a lot of territory in that time frame. and this is actually could be a quite slate phase of the operation on the ukrainian side, as you rightly mentioned. i mean, they've been fighting for 8 years in this area. they all righty. well look in, well defended positions which they didn't have in other areas of the country when

if offensive started. so actually the, the advantages with the defenders at the moment despite the overwhelming numbers that the russians have. so what you're saying is in a menton and the vantage is on the side of the russians, but this seems to be the battle that ukrainians were really preparing for because they've been engaged in this conflict in this part of the crime since 2014 absolutely, and also the ukrainians afford exceptionally well in the last 2 months and the morale is high and that counts for law. it's not, it's not just a numbers game. i mean that they have challenges. they need a lot of weapons and also a lot of ammunition because this is probably the intensity of the fighting is going to to increase and it's localized over a smaller area. on the russian side, there's only have 4 weeks now was an operational pause to new forces from the north in the northeast and that to reconstitute into the east. these are fatigued and

damaged units, and there's not much cohesion on one of the things that we have seen as poor leadership on western side of the strategic operational tactical level. you can't really fix those things in 4 weeks, although they do have the numbers and 11 of the battalion, tactical groups in the area just over the weekend. so if, because some report suggests they might be moving tens of thousands of troops into the area. but i mean, i suppose that capacity is not established. and then if they're coming from other parts of the country as opposed to being fresh troops, then they might not be so effective that suggest that there will be a greater reliance on heavy artillery and as strikes yes, in within this operational course, which has led some of the lessons and they have been sort of reinforcing the east for a number of weeks now in anticipation of phase 2 starting they will use probably overwhelming

fire power own concentration and overwhelming numbers and they will take tired people to do very high cost of ukrainians. a well did, which is a good defense against artillery and, and other forms of fire power on issues going to be a brutal fine to put the ukrainian, the professionalization of ukrainians. and also their experience they rotated forces, especially reservists over the years through this area. so so they know the ground very well and they are game and as we see in the places in mary paul and elsewhere and you carry and they are prepared to fight. thank you very much. in royal united serves. it is a tear in london and arnold, joining us was on ukraine's returning home after seeking refuge in germany. many of them taking a bus service from berlin to cave, just resumed operations after it was shut down at the start of the war. set lawson has more on this now from the german capital. this ukrainian refugees have made

a very difficult decision to go back home. they're taking a 25 hour long journey, not knowing what they're going to find. although they were warmly welcomed here after the russian invasion, they now can't wait to go back and we were in miss artebury's very much reality. well, where are they? they are home by the day. okay. and why re and i'm very glad the day, okay. that i assume alive is really, it's really a scary that some, some parents are dying and some children say alone, and it's like it's terrible the security situation and he of seem to have improved in the past few weeks. but these last few days, there were air strikes again, that's why the mayor and here actually asked people not to return yet, but that doesn't deter these people. isn't ansley over you on griffin? think we are afraid, but the fighting is mostly in the east of the country,

but there are still airplanes flying over. keith rockets being fired, people running for their lives and children are disturbed when they sleep. alarm children then can throw a bunch lathan over after living as refugees for nearly 2 months here in germany. then now going on a long and uncertain journey back home, hoping that it's safe enough to stay and they're not going to be forced to flee again. any time soon, the news, our life from london much more still had for you on the program, over t and political paralysis dominating the minds of voters in east timor as they decide between 2 former revolutionaries for president orth. greer is urged to return to the negotiating table after a surgeon missile tests, and is for the golden arm of steph curry will have all the action from and b a playoffs. there later. ah,

now at least 15 people have died and afghanistan's capital kabul off to bombs, exploded in a neighborhood that's dominated by the sheer has our community. one of the targets was of boy's school before the 19th century, as ours were thought to be afghanistan's largest ethnic group, making up around 2 thirds of the population. but decades of massacres, slavery oppression, and forced migration have reduced their numbers to day around 10 to 20 percent of afghanistan's 38000000 people are, has ara and they are among the country's most persecuted ethnic minorities. more than 1200 have been killed in just the last 7 years. during assaults on mosque schools and even maternity wards. they faced attacks by the taliban and an armed group linked to i still last may at least 85 people. these were mainly female students or school girls were killed and 300 wounded when 3 bombs exploded near

their school in the same car ball neighborhood where choose days attack took place . it's not clear who is behind these latest. bloss fenton monahan now reports blood on the streets of cobble explosives designated near this school. as children were leaving their morning classes, several people are dead and children are among the injured for georgia and we are close to the school. i quickly came to the side when the 1st bloss happened to see if everything was okay. i went to the top of my house to see what was going on. there was a crowd of people over there. i was standing on the roof of my house and called my children to enter the harm. suddenly the 2nd bloss happened and i got injured. the victims are members of the has ara a, she a minority group there community and this neighborhood have previously been targets of ice will attacks the governing taliban says the security situation is under control. but al sworn, the violence may be on the rise. the most important thing that we have to talk

about, we have to go to the, is the franchise nature of the security can easily be disrupted. it could easily be endangered as we have seen today. so therefore, i think a lot has to be done on the part of the taliban to, to, to provide if you please could get it to the entire population of one is done. but it is going to be impossible for them. because if you see the economic hardship deducing for ties meant in the public discontent, that is going with, with the passing day, all those things combined together. i think it will be difficult for them. back at the school security forces arrived to seal off the area. the taliban has been cracking down armed groups since it came to power in august. but this latest attack is a reminder that security remains one of its biggest challenges. vinson martin al jazeera . well hi, santa boss is a professor at the national defense university and author of the taliban revival. he joins us from washington, d. c,

by skype. so the has our share dashed about the neighborhood in campbell has seen some of the deadliest attacks in the city. but we've also seen a tax elsewhere in other provinces, in recent months, places like calendars and canada. most of these have been claimed by the group. i s k p is the violence against this community escalating. yes, it is escalating, as there is evidence for that. and you can imagine this month of ramadan or amazon for a month of peace, blessings and spirituality, and those who act in such fashion. this explains the nature of their motivation, the nature of their water view, and that the ordinary lives, human lives mean nothing to them. and this has been an ongoing battle all so between i still are isis, as we say, stomach, satan, hold on and volleyball. so it logical,

but also it's better for space as well. and the softest target tragically, is the sheer muslims as because they are because of their future, easy to pick on other schools. there's hardly any security in that area and then there's your muslim. so from a, from a logical concept, they are the easy target so that these are the factors that play i think. and when the taliban took over last all, their stated pledge security that is very important for them in terms of credibility and governance. how they dealing with this threat from i s k p. important question. i think taliban of this is new for the other one. also i'm trying to save the mostly minorities. this is new for dollar bond in 1996. when they were in bava. they did, there was a famous slogan in afghanistan by 31. projects should go to tajikistan, o 6 should go to us because on and has our us should go to graveyard. that that was

their slogan, baby nor what they did the last time this time around to give them some credit. they had said they will defend the minorities and including almost minorities in those. and 6 there said there was only one you who left so they did try to keep him as well. but in case the sheer muslims, who as you rightly mentioned in the introduction, there are a lot of large, one on the sheet in minority, a big ethnic group. and they had promised them that they will provide security on ashleigh gam commemoration and other places. but their failing to do so dearly. i mean, gobble, is there heartland in terms of their proper center. but they know there are the sheer majority or has, are community living in that area. it's not that hard. it means there is something seriously wrong in terms of dollar bonds, a security policy. i mean, they have been on twitter every day. i was watching them showing their forces being trained. you would see that very well trained,

proper uniform equipment. but at the end of the day, if they can't secure the areas which the noise being targeted by a sky, then there's something seriously wrong in how balaban are perceiving albano, thinking about living up to their promises. what about language, international community? and even way the stories are reported by the media kit, why is there sometimes a reluctance to, to recognize and expose the systematic targeting of this group and sedate point her? because this is the same thing is happening in our 2 has our community in, but sounds great also we, it's, if you have seen regular attacks in this case specifically, i think to be fair or many of hands irrespective of their religious inclinations are being targeted. we know that we're taliban are oppressing anyone who'll raise a raise their consent or among the media elsewhere. but the has are

a sheer community. it has been, this has been a tragic case because from an ethnic point of view, they can make a case from an for the international community. they have been doing their bit by giving a chances of political asylum. but then there are, those are real cases. i think this is a world wide problem, minorities off from all different religious groups across the world. we know about what happened with ringa in bangladesh. we know of other communities accords. also . she has even though majority in iraq, what happened and city of elsewhere, big the international human rights organizations, i think need to be more focused or should be able to project these cases more effectively. i think that's a very it is a gap irrespective of what they say, you google now reports, you'll find many reports. what, when it comes to policy? i think those oh, who lack support, those would leak. hardly anyone is ready to stand by that that's an international

problem. off of very serious nature has, has an advice. thank you very much. thank you. now police and shall anchor use live ammunition against protest is blocking a highway, killing one person an injury. 19. the 1st death of a protest in weeks of demonstrations demanding the resignation of president got to by roger baxa opposition and he's a calling for a new confidence of just a day off. the president appointed a new cabinet. shanker is struggling with west economic crisis, which is i to power cuts and shortages of food, fuel and medicine. the economy is going down the security of the country and the system is in danger. so what we need is the basic facilities of people, and they were very poor in the country with john prairies, the executive director of the national peace council of shrine. current says there's a risk of further escalation. if the government cracks down more on these protests,

i think it is very essential that people should see that the government is responsive to what they are demanding. and what did you mind to use? no less than the president and the prime minister. both of those who are presently holding those positions. i think that if you use this crisis that not to do to solve it, the president should sit down. there are people not hitting the road and it really tracks because that is not for them. so, and that's why i don't know that recently is spreading throughout the country now. so something has to be done. but we are really concerned that the government might be down using a all now talks are taking place between top

us in south korean diplomats after a series of missile task by north korea, us special envoy for north korea as washington and sole have agreed on the need for a strong and unified response as concern young young could conduct the nuclear test quite soon. the u. s. in south korea are urging the north to return to the talks. it is extremely important for the united nations security council for sunday, clear signal to the d. p. okay. there we will not accept as escalator is, has as normal also agreed on the need to maintain the strongest possible joint to turn capability on the peninsula. and as ambassador knowledge, and this is why our military is, are exercising and training together like the exercise that started just today. i want to underline that we have not closed the door and diplomacy with the dpi. and i once again call on the phone to pros, pursue at the for lead path with us. we remain prepared to meet with music anywhere without any conditions. also want to make clear that we have no hostile intent

a whole world because interest rates of other central banks tend to follow the fed in the world. and that makes it more difficult for developing countries to avoid crises, economic crises that push millions of people into poverty. but such as the uncertainty about the war and ukraine, further energy sanctions on russia, future deadly covert variance, and more supply bottlenecks and china. the i'm f says it's latest predictions may be too optimistic to coincide with the m f spring meetings. oxfam has released a study predicting that the pandemic and the warn ukraine could push more than 263000000 people into extreme poverty. in 2022. the charities calling on the i m. f to stop increasing a hardship due to its insistence on conditioning loans to the developing world on implementing austerity policies. while it was rich nations to avoid cutting spending, to preserve what economic recovery there is. one. i forget
