daily bombardment. and what president vladimir zalinski is called the battle for don bests. the u. s. says it wants to see russia weakened so that it can never do anything like this. again, the bottom line is this. we don't know how the rest of us were wanted. but we do know that a sovereign independent ukraine will be around a lot longer than bodamer grooms on the sea, or in terms of rushes weren't. russia has already failed. and ukraine has already succeeded. speaking in poland after their meeting secretaries outlined what will be included in the latest $700000000.00 package to ukraine and neighboring countries. so they need a long range force. you've heard of. it was a need for claims. we believe that that we can work. they can win if they have the right equipment, the right or the visit comes just days before that un secretary general antonia gra

4:06 pm
within the region, and she would be well known by the us as european allies, which would be of great comfort to them having a diplomat in place who they are well aware of and who they know and who is not a political appointment, who is a career state department officer. so all of these factors together, very important in terms of the us presence in ukraine saying as well that it's sending diplomats back in the coming week. those diplomats having being brought out to the beginning of the war and also significantly the u. s. is going to resume training of ukrainian military on what it says and disclosed weapon systems. so all of these factors together show an uptick in the bite and administration's involvement in that war and ukraine by canada in washington d. c. thank you very much for that. let's go now live to chinese stratford, who joins is from the front line in easton, ukraine. you're near the city of grove young,
4:07 pm
which is close to the frontline. i understand. tell us about what's been happening . yeah, we don't actually own the front line here, but then front lines seem to be moving so rapidly some days in this area of east in ukraine. we're actually north of soviet, which is one of the biggest cities that is still on the full ukrainian government military control adjacent to the city of cremmit source because well, a very large urban area. the road behind me leads up to a town called him, which the russian military have controlled for a number of weeks. they are trying to push down this road to basically surround slob yann's, which is as a, is in that direction earlier today. this morning we were close to a town called lehman, which is to my left, which is to the east of here. and we know there's a lot of heavy fighting going on in that town. we was speaking to civilians that were being evacuated out of it. volunteers ukrainian volunteers going in and
4:08 pm
picking them up them describing terrifying scenes as, as we've been reporting for weeks now. as the civilians try and evacuation areas as seemingly the russians make a push to wards, sloppy, and we also saw ambulances coming out. we saw one wounded ukrainian soldiers, obviously the ukrainian military, very sensitive about showing that is a sort of information despite obviously admitting that it is a war, but obviously concerned about the identities of injured military personnel. we also understand that there is a push to the west of here, also towards savvy, and we understand that the russian military are hitting targets there in the last few minutes. but where i'm standing, we've seen missiles being launched towards what can only be described. we understand would be targets in east russian positions from in front of me and just just to the left here as well. we had
4:09 pm
a lot of incoming and outgoing shelly early in the morning. the thing is, situation has come down in the last come vows in this area. but as i say, the ukrainian military claiming that russian falls, he's trying to push towards have so far failed in that endeavor. but this is one could only really describe it, potentially as being the quiet before the storm, the streets of slavery and scar. pretty much empty. we can still hear a siren being an alarm. in the distance, most of the civilians have slipped on sc have, have left. and the reason why this area is so important is essays because it is one of the largest urban areas still under you creating control russian forces pushing in from, from the northeast. the north and the north west as well as certain areas of the east ukrainian military saying that there is ongoing fighting in various villages to the east of. ready also,
4:10 pm
with respect to what's going on in maria pull of course, that city that has seen such heavy fighting as, according to some reports. and we've seen the pictures as, as the world has a city that is pretty much being flattened. ukrainian, deputy prime minister saying that there is as yet still no agreement. the russians are still, she saying the russians still refusing to agree on setting up some sort of humanitarian cordele to get out what we understand are around a 1000 civilians traps under that still works that giant great soviet built industrial plant where still there are ukrainian fighters ukrainian military in there, we understand that obviously the civilians haven't left and they're still fighting to try as the russians try to clear that area of those ukrainian fighters, ukrainian military. so of course, great concern there still for those civilians trapped in mariel pal. but as i say, there are still a lot of civilians tracked in towns around this area as it seems,
4:11 pm
the russians, russian military forces try and push towards club janski's. hi, johnny. thank you very much for that. i've days chance sanford in slow young fair now to moscow where russian president vladimir putin has been speaking in the last few hours he was addressing a meeting of the general prosecutor's office. let's bring endorsed jabari in moscow for as the president, we heard a very defiant message from vladimir putin. yes, certainly, as the russian president was discussing the upcoming year and the agenda and the main issues that his country, his general prosecutor's office will have to focus on according to vladimir putin. as the members of this office have to remain vigilant and united at because he believes that there is a full scale campaign at being waged against a his country's media as well as the military and the president saying that
4:12 pm
as there is a lot of misinformation and provocations against the rushes of the russian military . so as it is their job of the general prosecutor's office to prevent this spread of fake information online and from for media as letting me put in seemingly very directly at targeting the foreign media saying that they are extremists that are being their views being presented in the foreign media and he advised his m, general prosecutor's office, to remain vigilant. he also shared some information about a operation that the f s. b, a managed to prevent from taking place according to the presidents, the federal a security services afforded and attempted on the life of a very prominent state. tv presenter vladimir sullivan, who is one of the most well known figures in this country. he has a daily at program here in the evenings, on se tv, and he is known to be very much
4:13 pm
a strong supporter of let him you put in. and according to the president, there was a number of arrests made by the security services who were part of a neo nazi group as they call them. and they have been detained with the intention of trying to kill this state t v presenter. this was another example by a vladimir putin of how his country has been under attack from the west and specifically the united states. he says he believes that this see i had a hand in this as well. he also talked about the other various forms of at the, and sabotage attempts by western countries on russian society. let's listen to some of what he had to say. roscoe would crises, great options, or any other task is coming forward to break russia from within. but he can't do it because our society showing his unity and support our armed forces and our efforts to maintain the security of russia and the citizens of don bass. i door. so we
4:14 pm
heard from charlie just a moment ago about the situation in mary, a paul and those humanitarian corridors. the ukranian saying that there are still no humanitarian corridors open in marable. what is russia saying about these? well, the russian defense ministry has been announcing these. so called cease fires are short term as they are in mariel to allow the civilians to evacuate that steel plants and also allow, give an opportunity to those ukranian fighters that are hold up in there to surrender. this is something that has been ongoing for the past 10 days or so, but every opportunity that is announced by the russians and seemingly does not i work out of the ukrainian side, accusing russia, that they are not actually establishing any kind of ceasefire that the attacks continue during that time. also there have been accusations, sad to the as civilians allowed to leave any areas during these,
4:15 pm
these fires are forced to go into areas in russia. and that is something of course, that the civilians would not agree to in general. but the russian defense ministry saying that they have on a regular basis provided these, these fires, and it is the ukrainian at side that is not a withholding at upholding rather their end of the deal. they don't want to actually evacuate to the civilians. they're being used by the ukrainian fighters that are still in there in an attempt to prevent the russians from storming this facility. of course, the russian president had ordered on thursday that to no russian troops entered this facility. and just to seal it up and not allow anybody to go in or out in an attempt to basically force whatever a fighters are left in there to surrender at any point, there is a, as strong sense that this is now yet another attempt by the russian defense ministry to show at the international community that they are trying to establish
4:16 pm
humanitarian corridors. of course, we have the secretary general of the united nations coming to moscow on tuesday. and certainly this will be an example of how the russians will show that they are trying to as some kind of a ceasefire to allow those herbs civilians to relieve. but it will have to wait and see what the secretary general will have to say. indeed, we will follow that visit with you, of course, social buried life for us there in moscow. and the international criminal chief prosecutor has announced that it will participate in a joint you investigation team that is looking into allegations of international crimes in ukraine. all right, printing more head on this news, our including why disabled people in the us, her face more problems and most during the call record for the 19th and amec. we go underground in germany as it upgrades old bankers failed to protect people from possible nuclear attacked. and an attempt to create aviation history does not goes
4:17 pm
up as expected. so we'll have the details in emanuel my call has been re elected as francis president. he comfortably beat far. i challenge ermina then, but he acknowledged voters the satisfaction with his 1st turn. with almost all the votes counted, michael has an estimated 58.54 percent of the presidential run our fault, while the blue pen leader of the national ronnie party has 41.46 per cent. then as smith reports in paris, ah, emanuel micron gamble, but a short but intense election campaign would be enough. it was his comfortable margin of victory over marine la penn, gives him a 2nd term of the lease a palace. only 2 presidents before him have managed that. in his victory speech, makram promised that his next 5 year term would be different,
4:18 pm
said the new readiness of up this new era will not be a continuity of the 5 previous years. but the collector invention of a revised method for 5 better years for our country. and are you faced supporters? this is a when that endorse is what they believe is their country's role at the heart of the european union. in what you said, i am very happy up to the last minutes. i thought i would have fainted. you never know in life anything can happen, rosie that's also the because up to day extensions were significantly better. manual macaroni did a good job in the 1st years of his mandate and he deserves to lead france again. marine le pen gave the far right the highest share of the vote in a french election, but her part to the presidency was blocked again by a republican front. in other words, many voters who supported other candidates in the 1st round voted this time to keep le pen out that martini but to the visually, the game is not over. in a few weeks we'll have the legislative elections. ah,
4:19 pm
which as we know are a distortion of the political trend and create a risk of emmanuel mackerel. concentrating on executive and legislative powers. john lew, melanie sean, the far left presidential candidate, took just one percent less of the vote than la penn. in the 1st round, he wants his party, france on bowed to well enough support in the legislative elections. the macro is forced to appoint him prime minister yard. do you do all of you? i say, do not resign yourself. on the contrary, go candidly and completely into the action. democracy could once again give us the means to change direction. the war, a new crane and the rising cost of living were main concerns for french voters. both issues will likely dominate the start of microns 2nd term. that probably won't be much of a grace period to the president as usual on the left many aluminum or voted for him reluctant. her migraines promised to raise the retirement age. really the easier to
4:20 pm
hire and fire workers and reform unemployment benefits for protocols as gardens. first hill, this is cody rums, again, burleson, al jazeera ali manuel mc chrome may have won the election, but marine le pen registered some of her highest votes in the french overseas territories. in guadalupe she got 69.6 percent, while emmanuel mackerel received 30.4 percent 60.8 percent of voters in martinique chose le pen with 39 point one percent voting from icon in guyana la pen led with 60.7 percent out of the incumbent, if all right, candidate received 59 point one percent in the muslim majority island of my yard. my client trailed on 40.9 percent on joining us now to talk about this is stephanie, may not i natural is this. so she ologist, she lives in grad lube and he's joining us from point a p. thank you so much for being with us. now shawn league menache on the far left had come by far in the lead
4:21 pm
in the 1st round in these overseas territories. martini guadalupe a reunion as well. but his coll not to give a voice to the far right doesn't seem to have been heard. why? what's behind marine le, pen, strong showing in these territories. good morning everyone. well, this is really for civil own neck to say that a lot of people here reacted on social networks and were wide ashamed by what happened. and i guess it's, it's the, the same in martinique in french, we are now, 1st of all, 2nd of all, we have to say that it's not less than 50 percent of the people who are able to vote that to went to ball. and so i was, that is not really representative of going to pin people much any can people when, when i said that now i think that the people went to pulling loose and
4:22 pm
decided to cast a vote to, to melinda, then we're simply reacting to what they think what they felt when these do you feel is a mismanagement of the could be crisis in going to duke, which is an addition to what people think about the general. um, i was in the general relationship, the abbey friends party street with all the prices and slave mountains run in support. so of course people were flabbergasted by to see, so i was as well because we know that maybe so 2 years ago in the east, my mind a pin size, it was forbidden to set the fruit here in what to do. so now it's completely quite complicated for as you do too, it is
4:23 pm
a shock at to many people that martin eagle, guadalupe would vote for le pen. so this you say was a protest vote more than anything else, but are they fee as an issue? lation? yeah, or are they themes and issues that le pen has championed perhaps that strike a chord with the population in these overseas territories? yes, i think that and maybe some people and maybe some people that feel quite left, you know, on the side of the road, i would say that the french president and well, certainly are scent sense since he or sensitive well failed white mind. the pennsaid about a pink while ping us now to overcome or, or we were to saw. all the problems that happened could be crises initially that
4:24 pm
i'm, you know, all the events that was outcome. laughter was the social upheaval recently. so of course people may, i guess that some people are chose, deliberately mind offend because they saw that she could be the solution which is completely hard with our, our history regarding death. and also maybe another part of lined up in discourse about tom for inferring people on the french matri. my course relationship with regents has been a complicated one. what does he need to do in this 2nd term to re establish trust and re establish faith in the central government empowers? well, i think that 1st of all the present like or with to to solve the problems depending issues, depending files. you know, for example, what happened said yes, people,
4:25 pm
you know, that the recent social upheaval started with a trite of done medieval staff of the general us on wednesday p. her. where am that banished? you know where for me didn't to work because he refused to get vaccinated, which was a compulsory regarding the law of august 5, 2021 which imposed on on medical staff private and public to be vaccinated to be able to work. so now does people are lost, their jobs are unemployed in these resource, less and see camp in front of the entry of the young people, some of them resume work. but i think that this is the 1st issue that the president should ask for address that you need. maybe should i have to be able to, to entering the conversation with the institution, to look on a situation and maybe try to solve our ending. why?
4:26 pm
like a cultural policy that is according to a lot of artists and cultural battalion is missing out here to work and be able to make a living here. so a lot of challenges that he needs to address in, in the south region. thank you so much for talking to us as tiffany 1000000, i think joining us there from gradual. thank you. now at least 15 soldiers have been killed in attack, seen molly and broken a fossil in west africa. they happened on sunday when vehicles packed with explosives were driven into military basis and speak to nick ha cruise back correspondent in senegal. he joined aside from the cow at murray, hearing nick about the circumstances of these attacks on, on these military base. well, fully, these were brazen attack that happened at 5 o'clock in the morning on sunday, and targeting one of the biggest, if not the biggest military base in central. molly, in savari,
4:27 pm
inside reno is also the compounds of russian and structures as the marine forces describe them. and so the tact at which targeting this base in safari, but simultaneously to other base the al qaeda, affiliate gelatinous up to the slum one was the mean claim responsibility for this attack. they say it's in retaliation for the malia military operations that involved russian fighters in the past month. according to human rights group, almost a 1000 people were killed. they accused your rights group accuse a 1000000 forces in russian fighters of torture and extra judicial killing. now there's an investigation from the volume forces on what has happened. the u. n. has still not been able to go on the ground to verify independently what's going on in, in those area. but certainly another brazen attack in molly,
4:28 pm
where we were seeing all chi, an ice will stepping up their operations and is like, take it this optic in attacks is coming as french forces prepared to withdraw from the area. there's been a lot of speculation, nick about the role of russian mercenary, so called russian listeners. in molly, we know there's a russian president. the modern government has said that they're saving as advisors, but is a more to it. what's interesting is now we're hearing from the arm groups themselves in a communicating a statement says that they've captured a number of what they describe as a russian fighters linked to the wagner's group. so they've spelt it out essentially on who they are targeting and who's involved in this attack. so one of these fighters seem to be in the hand of these arm groups. now there hasn't been the video released, but we spoken to french military officials and they say that there's a campaign of this information happening in molly, especially targeting the french army that are pulling out most recently,
4:29 pm
just last week. the french forces were pulling out of a base and go see, shortly after we saw on social media accusation of the presence of a mouse grave there on the site. now the french forces deny this. they've showed evidence thrown footage that they were not involved. the russian are pressing on, and according to this military official, he said make no mistake. there is a war being played, being played out, not on the battlefield on the ground, but on social media between the russians and western forces and the french specifically. and cotton middle of this is obviously the money in people more than a 1000000 displaced as these attacks continue to step up for the thank you for that . nicholas hock life forth there in the car synagogue. time now for a check on the world, whether his romp, hello, we should talk about jasmine, a tropical cyclone that's formed between madagascar and mozambique is had the name
4:30 pm
for about 36 hours there. and it's probably been at its peak intensity sitting at the open water, which is the good news. it is a menace to shipping obviously in this channel, but will it make landfall because that's really, i think the more critical question. this is the forecast the tuesday. it's not all models are in complete agreement, the due drifted towards the coast of western madagascar. at that stage it's wins. not that strong. it's not moving very fast. so i think the risks are, might up might a storm surge, 6 feet away. so they're not exactly huge in context, you often get that in as well. so hopefully it won't be a significant danger. right, let's jump away from the recent heavy rain in afghanistan is done when it often does. in the old part of kabul city, it's cause a certain amount of flooding. it will be gone by now, but this is what it looked like about 24 hours ago. but that's not the major story in the area. major story, of course, is the heat,
4:31 pm
the building heat in pakistan and we've got not quite reco values but approaching them. and in, throughout northern india, temperatures are approaching 4445 heat wave conditions. i still ahead on the news are ha, ha, surprised when for a political newcomer, as he declares victory in slovenia is parliamentary elections and liverpool stay in the hunt for the premier league title, but need their local rivals in big trouble. as a result, i will explain it to stay. ah, the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action is all about destruction, create confusion to create smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically supported. busy oral industry was a made bank roller or opposition to clock the campaign against the climate. do you
4:32 pm
think that's a bad thing? more shooting and did was? here's the thing. absolutely. on. on jesse, where temperatures reach minus 35 degrees celsius and mountain roads become barely possible. one small, many bus serves as a lifeline for community facing environmental and cultural change. ah, out, is there a well joined the regulars on board with turkeys sheen? chi of us on al jazeera lou. ah,
4:33 pm
you're watching the news hour on al jazeera with me for the battle. a reminder of our top stories. the u. s. secretary of state says russia is failing in this war in ukraine. antony blanket and the defense secretary lloyd austin, met the ukrainian president on sunday keith during the visit. they preach more military support for you crate. the russian leader vladimir 14 says the west is trying and failing to divide russian society speaking early. moscow. 14 also accused for media outlets of provoking rushes military. and frances president, my, your michael has been re elected to come to be meeting all right, challenger money in the pen. mccoy has acknowledged to dissatisfaction with his 1st term while the pen say she's in a good position for the upcoming parliamentary elections. that china is racing to track a coven 19 outbreak that may have been spreading in the capital for a week. mass testing has begun in beijing's largest district char young. it's home
4:34 pm
to more than 3000000 people. residents are buying up. essential items. a late fee is a wide spread lockdown may be imposed. michael baker, his professor of public health at the university of tiger and a member of new zealand covey. 19 technical advisory group. he says, a 0 covert approaches in full. we know the balance is shifted now with high vaccine coverage. many of the, with the fix, the pandemic can be managed. so i think the real question is not so much with this particular outright can be stamped out with a locked down. but it's really what is a long term goal in china? i think it's been very clearly articulated, because it seems very unlikely that any country can eliminate the private, the con, the orient long term. so therefore, you have to say, what is your strategy? and what's happened in this region is a number of countries that have been in a very similar situation to china. i think, particularly singapore salia new zealand and hong kong to some extent eliminated.
4:35 pm
devise your, your victory for about 18 months. kept mortality really low. and now transition to mitigation approaches along with very high vaccine coverage. and that has been quite manageable. it's kit the fatality risk from this infection down to listen one in the thousands of point one percent listen point one percent. and so i think china now has to decide what profit is going to take. i imagine that some kind of orderly transition from mitigation would make the most sense at the moment while activists in the us, a warning that americans with disabilities are facing unique and ongoing challenges during the pandemic. and as alan fischer reports, they haven't had equal access to services like over 900 testing and that's falling short of equality loss this. imagine after a long wait, you finally get your hands on a covert tasting kit down with. imagine you've been feeling ill and want to know if you're okay here. what now imagine you're blind. it has no markings on it. and
4:36 pm
again, this is a cardboard box. so i'm, you know, boxes of band aids, have braille on them. now, over the day, for many disabled people, the surgeon testing has left them behind. if you're blind, 1000000 people in the u. s. r. then simply what can you know, what to do is a challenge. there were testing centers that were drive through our own way, and of course, blind people don't drive. we do have as a matter of national public policy, the idea that people with disabilities are supposed to be integrated and included. so why is there nobody thinking about on the front end before things become a problem? endemic restrictions were hard on almost every one, but even more complicated for those who are disabled. that is the americans with disabilities act, the laws intention, that every american has the same rights and opportunities as every one else. it gives people a sense of independence and dignity during the pandemic. we have seen all 50 states
4:37 pm
operationalize what's called a crisis standards of care, and these are standards that a hospital uses to determine who gets access to treatment in times are shortage of, of medical resources. and so states have used disability as a means of saying, you know what, your life is not worth living. it's not worth said in, in fact one in for adult americans has a disability disability defined as a physical or mental impairment that impacts a major life activity and lawn cove. it could see those numbers rise dramatically. you may be seeing people with long corvette who are experiencing things like the t reduced lung capacity, brain fog, as well as individuals who have had significant stress and trauma throughout the panoramic. we're now having to adjust to life with
4:38 pm
a psychiatric disability. the white house is responded to criticism and made some changes, including recommending to drug companies that they make testing easily accessible for everyone. but things aren't going to change overnight. there will be alike. and that means for people with disabilities is going to take longer to get back to normal. alan fisher al jazeera at the white house. the 1st verdict in one of several tries trials of myanmar suppose civilian meter has been delayed. and until she was arrested by the army, when it ceased far more than a year ago, she is facing several corruption trials. she is accused of influencing the 2020 election in order to win. a 2nd turn for eisley has more from colon lumper. well, this is the 1st of several corruption trials she faces and for this case, there is a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison that carried a much heavier at hand. the other cases and the other trials i have gone on against her. they were for relatively minor offenses with much shorter,
4:39 pm
