oh i this is al jazeera. ah hi there, i'm kim vanelle. this is the news are live from dough coming up. in the next 60 minutes. we have knocked ukrainian troops in the territory of the russian federation. but we have russian troops into territory credit, frank discussions with a push for peace, u. n. f x ray, general and federal quoterush calls for a cease fire and ukraine. mpeg does the un support to save lives in maryville palm . as russia expands its battle and don boss, defense officials from around 40 nations assessed keith's demands for more military

assistance. although his president condemns any attempt to destroy peace after 3 attacks and 24 hours in the russian backed breakaway region with trends, nice trio. and in pakistan on explosion inside a university campus in karachi, kills for people including chinese nations. and i am he to stay with your sports manchester city and ro madrid prepared to face off in the champions league semi finals. and the boston celtics saw the 1st side through to round to a, b, and b, a playoff of the series whitewash of the brooklyn. next the united nations secretary general is on his 1st visit to moscow since roches invasion of ukraine. and he has a message for peace, and kind of garish is pushed, foresees fire in his meeting with foreign minister. so gay lever off. he was safe, humanitarian corridor walls to be set up to save the lives of civilians caught up

in the conflict. here's what else was said to the press conference by the to just a short while ago. that is clear that there are do 2 different positions on what is happening in ukraine. according to the russian federation, what is taking place is a special me 30 open ocean with the objectives. that's what announced according to the un in line with the resolutions passed by the general assembly rushes invasion of ukraine is a violation of his very thought of the integrity and against the chart that of united nations. but it is my deep conviction that the sooner we end this war, the better for the people of ukraine, for the people of the russian federation and those 5 young were to shoshone british asian country. this was happening as a result of the actions of the us and its allies and unipolar world to the guns. as

for our geopolitical sphere, it was done in the interest of containing russia and to that. and for many years we korean has been used as a springboard to restrain our country. as comfortable, i understand that the russian federation as many grievances but the un charter for sees a large number of mechanisms in which grievances can be addressed. and namely, with the recourse to the international court of justice or other other mechanisms if all the other ones foreseen in the charter faith. but that is one thing that is true and obvious and that no arguments can change. we have not ukrainian soups in the 30, tory of the russian federation, but we have russian troops in the territory of ukrainian feathers. and the un secretary general will meet president vladimir putin

a little later on tuesday before leaving for ukraine's capital are. let's go to doctor murray, who joins us now live from moscow. daughter are, let's start with the a petition and love rob meeting. interesting, especially with those comments from the terrace making clear that the u. n. doesn't agree with what russia calls the military operation, but the un says is an invasion yes, certainly the secretary general is saying that there are clearly 2 narratives here . but regardless of that, she was adamant, but he has a come to moscow as a messenger of peace. and he said that they, he had a very frank conversation with the russian foreign minister, certainly love a antonio gutierrez, saying that his main objective was to end the suffering of the civilian population in ukraine. and also to minimize the impact this conflict has had on the a civilian population around the world. specifically,

he talks about how it has affected the price of food in africa. and that is something that is as a direct result of this at so called special military operation. antonio terrace, seemingly, quite frank and direct with survey. love rav and the russian foreign minister for his part said that he welcomed the conversation that he's had with the secretary general. and he said also that they've known each other for a very long time, and that the conversation was useful. and frank as well on his part. he also said that he highly values the dialogue that he's had at his department has had with the united nations. and he also said that at the moment of truth is now as the russian for mr. se is saying that the countries around the world have to decide whether or not they will live on the basis of the un charter, or whether they will allow the un to be led by a number of other countries,

such as the united states who are exerting their power on this organisation seemingly quite a productive meeting between the 2 sides. and of course the outcome has yet to be clear. but it was important for the secretary general to make this trip because he felt that this was the right moment to have this face to face discussion with russian officials. and of course, his meeting with vladimir putin is due to take place in the coming hours and we'll have to wait and see how that meeting goes as well. speaking about. 7 on this being the right moment to add the moment, there are tens of thousands of people still stock in mario poll. i know that was part of what the un secretary general wanted to talk about with the foreign minister. what was said on that front. well according to antonio and density guiterres, he said that the issue of mary,

opal was discussed and his main objective was to set up a contact groups that would be working on establishing humanitarian corridors in and around. mariel folded specifically, dealing with the situation that's unfolded in the as of sol steel plant. that is where nearly 2000 ukrainian fighters are and held up and also roughly about a 1000 civilians have taken shelter there. and as the secretary general saying that if he wants to see he's proposed to the russians to set up this contact group that will be made up of russian officials from the defense ministry as well as their ukranian counterpart. also including at representatives from the united nations that would oversee any kind of humanitarian quarters, that they would establish to make sure that a ceasefire is established. and it's abided by an under the supervision of the united nations to get those civilians out and to try and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. now, the russian foreign minister,

when speaking about mario ball, he was asked about the prospect of having any kind of dialogue with ukraine around the as of style plant. and that is what some ukrainian officials had propose. they wanted to have a dialogue with russians at near this plant, and he said, this is just a m, another stone to basically by the ukrainian officials to stage theatrics to basically set up a scenario where we would be shown a number of people that would be very emotional and crying and this would be on the part of the ukrainians trying to stage this theater for the international community . so he dismissed that idea very quickly. but also i, he didn't respond to the request that was put forth by the secretary general about those contact groups and at developing some of a, a group specifically that will be dealing with the humanitarian issues that has unfolded in maryville. of course, this is

a city that is now claimed to be according to the russians under their full control except this as of style plant. and they said that they have restored com to marry opal. but according to ukrainian officials, there are nearly a 100000 people that are trapped there and they have no way of getting out. one thing that the un secretary general emphasized was that in the humanitarian corridors that they want to see established there, they would have to ensure that those civilians that are leaving mary, opal would be allowed to go in any direction they choose. and i think this is important because we have heard in the past accusations, from ukrainian officials saying that the russians are allowing civilians to leave these areas in maryville, but only to be entering into russian territory. so the evacuations that are taking place allegedly, by the ukrainian government officials, are saying that the citizens of marable are allowed to lead, but only to enter into a russian held territories and russia itself. but this is something the russian

officials have dismissed so far. but i think it was telling that the secretary general made this a point that one of the conditions for these borders would be to allow the civilians to choose where they are going to from the areas of in and around mary apple. so all in all, i think it was very important for the secretary general to highlight the humanitarian issue that is unfolded in ukraine. and he stressed that the united nations is willing to play a part in trying to end the civilian suffering. that hasn't, it's been taking place there. and the russian foreign minister at seemingly is not ready to answer to those requests. and just quickly doretha, as you mentioned, canteras's meeting with president foods and a little later what we expect out of that. well it certainly will not be the same kind of meeting he had with surgery lover of us. we understand it's

and meet and greet there. there is no long format set down, meeting privately between the 2 officials and oh, we understand it's a protocol meeting. but of course, the secretary general has had many encounters with a russian president over the past few years. this will not be their 1st meeting, and the expectations from that are not very high. i think the substance of his trip was the meeting with surgery, lovegrove and, but still we'll have to wait and see whether or not the russian president will have anything else to say or add to the un secretary general. and whether or not the secretary general will say anything differently to vladimir putin given that he has this very rare chance to meet the russian president. he is, the un secretary general is the highest, a diplomat who has visited russia since the military operation began on february 24th. and it is a very important opportunity for him. and he said that he is very much eager to

make the most of it. and whether or not he'll be able to do that, we'll have to wait and see. but for now a, his meeting is scheduled to take place with vladimir putin shortly. and then of course, he'll be heading off to ukraine. well, he'll have a series of other meetings with officials, they're burnt or strawberry. thank you that in moscow. in ukraine, russian rockets have had a commercial center in the city of sam parisha, killing one person and injuring another is the last large city on the ukrainian control in the southeast. so far it be the destination for ukrainians, fleeing the front lines, but reinforcements being sent in trenches of being dug in expectation of an assault and ukrainian forces, confronting the russian military in the east. russian forces of pushing south and advancing north from finance. that's controlled by russian bank separatists are not safe in their own hands. family's trying to find shelter wherever they can, including and repurposed industrial buildings. chance chance had reports from net

or leave cut in russian controls east in ukraine. this bunker is built under a soviet built brick factory and it's typical of some of the giant great cavalry spaces underground. underneath many of the soviet build industrial plants in this region, now it's being used as a place of shelter for around full families. so far, they tell us that they came down here a couple of weeks ago when the shelling in this area got particularly bad. you can see one of the areas where they stole their food. he, he come through this in here is the main living area where people sleep where they eat. now the reason why nobody's here is because people are afraid of going on camera. they are that nervous about being identified and potentially being targeted. and bear in mind that we were speaking to the

people here earlier, and the majority of them are pensioners, but such a degree of fear and paranoia that this russian invasion is generating amongst people. as you can see, there's a lot of food here that has been brought down by very brave volunteers, men and women that drive into this area every few days, delivering food to people in bunkers like this fall. and this is absolutely fascinating. these photographs diagrams will put up during the soviet times and they are basically civil defense morning's advice given to people who may have to be may have had to have come here in the event of a nuclear or chemical weapons attack by the west. i'm fascinating to see that they're still here, you know, possibly more than 40 years caught years later. now,

in all the news, we are hearing reports of heavy shelling and street to street fighting in the towns of rubia and papa santa papa. now i apologize. and we know that those areas a very heavily contested and we understand that russian forces controller at half the, the town of pasta, and have been heavy casualties there. a lot of ukrainian soldiers have died. we know that having visited a field hospital in the area recently, the ukrainian military also saying that sir, at least 3 children, died of their injuries as a result of shelling of the town of li man. that is north of sleeve janski's last night. and the shelling there, we understand ongoing part of the russian forces attempts to push on into the area around the city of sloppy. ernst and cremmit tossed ukrainian military so far saying that they are managing to hold their positions and repel those attacks form

russian forces. as i say, the families here had put the word out to other villages in this area. this is a place of shelter. and they say that they expect many more families to come in the coming days in germany, defense and security officials from 40 countries and meeting a shelf strength and support for ukraine against russia. they are discussing ways to increase the supply of weapons to key. if you are secretary of defense, though, it often plans to continue support the key is against what he called, roches, nor less invasion. wrong brain. this because of the suffering that your people in the country has been ravaged, your hospitals have been born your shows have been executed. your

children have been proper step on some reports now from ramstein. that's definitely unusual for the you asked to hold an international meeting here at the ramstein air base, the largest air boat base outside of the united united states. more than 4 countries have been invited and it's really crucial according to the u. s. that europe and also other countries, sir, wrap up or ramp up there, a support for ukraine. and it's also significant that this meeting is being held in germany. because germany has been heavily criticized in the last couple of weeks for reluctance that they had to send have you weapons or to ukraine even until last night. it wasn't clear if germany was willing to do her sorry to do so. but today they have announced and confirmed that they're gonna sent a chip g part anti missile system, sarah tanks. that's not the tanks that ukraine had asked for. it's sort of a compromise. it seems, but it shows a turn around by germany to st. happier weapons. and it's also not only

a discussion about immediate support for your grade, but also in the long term. what does your grade need in security guarantees from day to but also beyond need to we've got to use for 2 countries. are not only nato countries, but the people from africa, countries from africa, asia, the middle east, are invited to this meeting as well. ah, there have been 3 explosions and 24 hours in the breakaway, moldova region of trans nisha, explosions, targeted to soviet era, radio antennas, and military unit. the antenna we used to broadcast russian radio from the village ship my act. on monday, the ministry of state security in terrace paul was also his, although held an urgent security meeting following the attacks. president smile sandy says she condemns any attempts to ruin peace in the country. she remains open

to negotiating a peaceful resolution will trans they straight is a separatist region along the border between ukraine and moldova, with a population of about half a 1000000 russian soldiers mean station there. since the early ninety's guarding one of the largest ammunition depots in eastern europe, aust week, a russian commander suggested that creating a land corridor to reach its russian speaking population. analysts say russia doesn't have the forces to do that, but there are concerns that could use trends. ne stria to attack him. crane from the west or samuel romani is an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. he joins us now from oxford in the united kingdom. thank you very much for your time. who would target? ah, radio antenna who do carry out attacks like this and trans nice drea, russian speaking russian backed break away reach in what once we've be reading into this. so 3 unclear exactly who is responsible for it. and even the pentagon is not

willing to make a prediction about that. but moldova is arguing that it could be caused by internal saboteurs than transistor. ukrainians are arguing that special rush and off all slag, whereas the russians are blaming ukrainian agents, nato and romania in some combination. given the fact that this is targeting soviet radio antenna, which is bringing a rush in that media to the people there, the narrative that rushes bushing is that russians are discriminated there. so there is some case for rush involved, lied to had illustrate that threat or russian military commander, as we said earlier, suggested that creating a land car door to reach the russian, our speaking population that is, i guess, being considered. is that feasible? well, it would depend on a number of things. first of all, russia would need to have a successful offensive and southern ukraine. would you mean that major cities, a mccully, which is currently a battle ground odessa, which is even bigger battle ground, would have to fall 1st. and then they could think about making a lambert's gesture,

the long as it, as the remains outside of russian hands. that's an illusory goal, right now, how do you think moldova, to, to deal with this similar as treating this is a major security threat. obviously they held national security meeting. but they are going to emphasize the fact that it's largely internal forces that are behind us, even though be transition. now, factions have close ties to rush m aldo was unlikely to blame our shout right like ukraine ass, because it's a neutral country. it's got only $6000.00 troops. he feels vulnerable to russian invasion and was trying to why i joined the european union. it's also opposed to sanctioning russia at this time because there's pro ration elements inside the country. like got eager to dawn that russia could leverage and the russians could dare also exert corrosion over gas supplies and economics. some alva will express alarm and concern, but won't blame russia like ukraine as well. that was my next question. i mean how vulnerable is moldova right?

now given where it is so wow, moldova certainly in a vulnerable position is obviously. busy historical claims that russia would have to add the country to the do the region by sarabia. there's also alter nationalists within the year cromwell's inner circle, as well as with the russian orthodox church. who argue that waldo wins russians, ukrainians and bell russians are all one people. so moldova will look at that with lot of concern. but as i said, i think that odessa needs to fall 1st before the russians can make this move and really unlikely the ukrainians will try to drive them all the ovens into the war because not in their interests. because a if that were to happen in my shorter invade moldova, now you're going to be in circle for even more science money them, although a see for now. but as long term security is certainly high risk, should we be expecting more sort of rhetoric out all russia then, in the coming days a weeks about, ah, the russian speaking population in trends ne,

syria. absolutely. i think that that's going to be discussed a lot more with not just he not been brought up by the russian ministry of defense on friday, but were also seen that being brought up by the russian do, ma'am. piece in their attempts to blame nato or romania or ukraine for this. so, and given the fact that at discrimination against ethic russians, as so often been used as a pretext for russian military involve into the both soviet space and russia. media outlets are describing the 90 ninety's comp with jazz this year as kind of a prayer product with that to what we're seeing happening and on bass, which they call genocide against that like russians. i think it's very likely that they going to be drawing attention to this. i tried that like russians going forward. all right, i thank you very much re analysis samuel romani, they're an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. thank you very much. 4 people have been killed and several others injured software. van exploded in the university of karachi in pakistan. and he say several people inside the vehicle when it blew up. let's go live to come all harder. who's in the some of us

all tell us about the group of claims responsibility for this attack. first of all, the balloon liberation army has claimed responsibility for this attack. we have seen the closed circuit, t v for date, which showed a woman doctor name dang the explosive bridge were planted on the attack taking place just as the ran which was carrying the chinese professor or what then during the confused and which is a center for chinese language at the garage university isn't the 1st time that we made suicide bomber has been used by the group guard, the update d, my g group that my g group is a component of the balloon liberation army, which has been designated educated and organization by the united kingdom,

the united states had really focused on they have been responsible for getting our deadly attacks against the chinese counselor consulate and 2018 and earlier in february this year, also, and the security forces. but this was indeed a self dog. the professors that dr. kid on the sport or short side bomb or detonated the explosive. it is also interesting to note that they need a name to what's killed in december 2018. just a month after that fighters get it. going to die on the chinese considered in karachi, they live there right now. being live ned by day was commanding the balloon liberation army. they were operating from of on soil before the dollar bond decor. well, but i said to be operating from getting close to the radian border and also go to the avalon border. what do we know about, i guess the nature of this attack,

why would the blueish liberation army? what were, what do they hope to achieve? mm. tell us more about about, i guess the most it well the balloon liberation army had been dog dang the chinese that your lives of august on the security forces because they are against the china up august on economic quarter door. they're gonna have blamed a bug. it's on the security forces for carrying out killings of balloon fighters who are fighting for an independent homeland. but this is indeed it get. it started carrying out suicide bombings across the country against the security forces. also targeting china, primarily because china focused on vendor strategic board at guar. this is at the mouth of their straight self or mood on the re b and c. it is critical indeed for august on future development. and the balloons

are heading down to hard because they've been that chinese, i helping up august on ease. so it would be interesting to see what kind of reprising will happen from bug gast, on august on, had been using drones recently. and therefore, you can not rule out the possibility of a counter strike by the budget on a security force in the drug and alcohol hot air force in islam of on thank you. north korean leader kim jong says his country will strengthen and develop its nuclear, also maximum speed. speaking a parade, and p o n came added that north korea could not limit its nuclear forces to adjust the tyrants. the ha song, 17 was among the missiles on display said to be appealing and the biggest intercontinental ballistic missile 3 says it successfully launched the weapon in march. one of 13 to so far this year of aging is to issue mass testing for most of its $21000000.00 residents of authority.

struggle to contain a 3rd and karone of ours cases. people have been panic, flying and supermarket stalking up on food and essential items. chinese capital is rolled out strict measures on the countries 0, coven policies. khatri, you has more from beijing? well, they think it's already said they found cases in a new district across aging, bringing that person of ac current cases identified here in the capital since friday. so what that means that there's mandatory testing order has been extended to whole district and basically will cover most of the people living in beijing. and that includes more than 20000000 people who will have to go from that testing. so far they've tested about 4000000 in this initial round, including myself and our team as well. and we're still waiting on our results from that initial test. now here's the thing. we won't have to do just once this week, not twice. we'll have to do the test 3 times before the weekend. i think that's in

recognition that this is the highly infectious on the chrome strain and it's very difficult to catch at time. now, after all those test results, the after those 3 round, the test results are discovered and completed on the weekend were expecting on sunday. that authority will make a judgment call as to whether there will be any lockdown or any further restrictions imposed time. not for the weather, his kara hello there. let's start in south america and we're seeing the usual rash of thunderstorms and showers, a growth northern areas of the continent. some of the heavier falls over the shortest amounts of time in peru and northern areas of columbia. we could see some localized flooding here by the time we get to wednesday. it's gonna be northern areas of venezuela that see some of the shopper thunderstorms. now we're also going to see some storm action down in the south. if we have a closer look, we've got a weather system pulling away from chile working its way across argentine areas by the time we get into the mid week. but for coastal areas of brazil like rio de

janeiro, lots of sunshine, clear skies. perfect weather for carnival there. now we have acting easton areas wide spread showers as well by the time we get into wednesday. but for the very heavy falls, we have to look for the south to costa rica and panama, as well as guatemala and honduras in the days to come as to whether update. still ahead on al jazeera, why even monsoons and melting lacey is not enough to stop water shortages for the people who happen to the world's richest man ill on mosque is buying one of the most influential social media, social rather media platforms. twitter for $44000000000.00 and in sport with peter the top size in england and spain go head to head in the champions league, semi finals, ah. full of struggles. are you talking about?

i'm a little, i'm a good one. i'll be gone for the come on, you to part of them. full of pleasure. we go a little market on the getting with obama, who bought on an intimate look at life in cuba today. when he was young, long walk, gone. younger, more general advisor, my cuba on al jazeera a with lou

ah, ah, watching out there, our reminder of our top story is this all un secretary general and sort of grotesque says, he's walking to establish a humanitarian contact group between russia and ukraine to tennis, met russia's foreign minister and said, lives urgently need to be saved in besieged cities like mary of the u. s. is hosting talks to the ramstein air base and germany that's focused on helping ukraine defend itself. victory of defense. so it austin, opened the basement officials from about 40 different countries for people have been killed and several others injured after a van exploded at the university of karachi and pakistan. the say the vehicle blew up with several people inside a reaction to e. long mosques,

purchase of twitter has divided social media. u. s. republican politicians are welcoming the move. but some democrats say it's dangerous for democracy. to his board unanimously approved the $44000000000.00 deal to sell the company. gabriel, amazon de reports from new york. the deal is done the month long saga of who will own twitter appears over in one of the largest and most unusual tech acquisitions ever. the board of directors and twitter unanimously agreed to sell the social media company to 11 musk for $44000000000.00. up until the deal was announced. there was doubt on wall street. that musk could cobble together the financing needed, but he did musk help pay for the deal with $25500000000.00 in debt financing by a group of banks lead by morgan stanley. in a press release announcing the deal must talked about improving the platform by

getting rid of automated spam accounts and making its algorithms open to the public and authenticating all users. but for musk buying twitter is about free speech, or at least his version of it potentially ending twitters, current content, moderation, or stopping the platforming of users who break the rules you on mosque is not buying twitter or financial reasons, although he thinks he can make some money on it, he's buying it for ideological reasons and i think that's the really important part of this. and that's ultimately what's scary with musk in control. they fear a return to the unruly spread of disinformation on the platform. so as today, a good day or bad day for twitter users, that is probably the most important question here. and i think it's also the question that's going to be hardest to answer. i think that if he does a lot of the work that has been done trying to protect against sort of normative

lee, bad speech such as this information and especially his speech that's going to be a bad day for twitter. but you know, there's a chance that he takes over and doesn't sort of have quite a sweeping of a reform agenda, as he said he's put forth in over the last couple. it's been a tumultuous month for twitter. the saw must take a 9 percent stake in the company, making him it's larger shareholder. he was then offered a seat on the board of directors, only to have it abruptly revoked, followed by his cash offer to buy the entire company all within the last few weeks . ultimately, law must got what he wanted to not only be a twitter user, but to also be its owner. gabe rosato, al jazeera, new york mosques, the acquisition of to as a broader cautious response from the white house. i'm not going to comment on

a specific transaction. what i can tell you as a general matter, no matter who owns or runs twitter, the president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms. what they have that power they have over our everyday lives has long argued the tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause he's been a strong supporter of fundamental reformed to achieve that goal. i still don't have a specific comment on this specific transaction. and at this point, we don't have any sense of what the policies will look like. never before has so much media influence being concentrated in the hands of so few people 1000000000 it with the power to regulate free speech. the world's richest person considers himself a free speech absolutist and could main loosening the content, moderation policies of the world's most influential social media platform. mock a bug is always denied. facebook is a media company, but it has enormous power of what information and ads are presented to its 2000000000 daily uses. facebook already senses more speech than any government in

history. traditional media tycoon still whole power off the amazon found the jeff bezos snap bout washington post and 2013. the paper became profitable and to pass the new york times and web traffic remish. certainly boston is a professor of information studies at the university of california. he says the musk take over raises serious questions about the future direction of twitter. i think the content moderation aspects are critical. but i think the bigger question is, why is the content that is most viral and therefore most visible online, almost always trending to where people inflammatory or conspiratorial content. and the reason why is because our anxieties in our emotions are being targeted by social media algorithms, not based on them knowing how we think or feel, but all based on correlation. so they are feeding us content with the prediction of grabbing our attention and thing. the graph, most of our attention is hateful or fig content. and so he needs to actually deal

with the underlying engine, which is the instrument of free speech to make sure every speeches about not to word have speech, which are these algorithmic systems. what we do know, our big tech companies are the most powerful in the world. the are the media in many different countries around the world. and here in the united states and in the northern hemisphere, the influence, the coverage that journalistic networks, like i'll just run other is actually engagement. so here's the content that is grabbing people's eyeballs because we're all on our phone all the time. and on our laptops, tends to be trend toward hateful content, which we thought, you know, connected to the former president of this country, which is why he ended up being the platform that wasn't necessarily the right thing to do. but the goal would be to control content right in any society, there is going to be hateful speech. it just shouldn't and dominating our entire lives. otherwise, we're just going to be anxious, emotionally, distraught and more polarized than ever. airlines and have a,
