the other stories thought too of abdur, is that gonna none that we ought to aim, we can bring in. all of these other qualities are not necessarily struck in the ways that we've been taught them. i feel like that's potentially a really exciting prospect studio be unscripted on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello. this is in use our own al jazeera. i'm fully back to live for my headquarters in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the sooner we end these war, the better for the people, if you could earn for the people of the russian federation. and those far beyond. the un secretary general pushes for us to inspire in ukraine and pledges

humanitarian support. to save those trapped in mario poll. a series of attacks in new russian backs break away region of chimes. this 3, imo dofer's president condemns. attempts to involve her country in actions that could threaten need to speak. oh, so this our north korea's leader came john urns sage is a massive military parade saying is strengthening his country's nuclear arsenal. and the well switches man has a new venture. but what does the future hold for free speech on twitter after in on mosques, by the social media? and i'm, he to same it with their sports matches the city and rail madrid prepared to face off in the champions league semi finals. and the boston celtics saw before a saw through round to up in vehicles of series whitewash the brooklyn lift.

thank you for joining us. i push the piece and to save lives that the mess says united nations chief has been delivering in russia. antonio terrace has made his 1st visit to moscow since the thought of the ukraine war 2 months ago. his call for a cease fire while meeting. foreign minister said oliver, and also humanitarian corridors for the besieged, ukrainian city of mary. a fall to say civilians caught in the car. it is clear that there are due to different positions on what is happening in ukraine. according to the russian federation, what is taking place is a special me 30 operation with the objectives that were announced. according to the un in line with the resolutions fast by the general assembly rushes invasion of ukraine is a violation of his very thought of integrity and against the chart that of united nations. but it is my deep conviction that the sooner we end these

war, the better for the people of ukraine, for the people of the russian federation. and those far beyond re shoshone will show issue control. this was happening as a result of the actions of the us and its allies and unipolar world. because as for our geopolitical sphere, it was done in the interest of containing russia and to that. and for many years green has been used as a springboard to restrain our country classes. i understand that the russian federation is many grievances. but un charter foresees a large number of mechanisms in which clearances can be addressed. and namely, with the 3 course to the international courts of justice or other other mechanisms if all the other ones foreseen in the charter faith. but that is one scene that is true and love views,

and that's no arguments come change. we have not ukrainian groups in the 30 tory of the russian revolution, but we have russians groups in the territory of ukrainian feathers. meanwhile, in germany, defense and security officials from 40 countries have been meeting and assure strength and support for ukraine. they're discussing ways to increase the supply of weapons to keep the u. s. secretary of defense lloyd austin, has placed a continuous support for ukraine against what he called russia's lawless invasion. austin is you'd hold a news conference this sorrow which will bring to you live here on out here. and we've got correspondence right across all the devout men set by sin is at the ramstein air base where defense officials from around the world have been meeting. as i said, james spades is our diplomatic editor. he is at the united nations and will give us reaction and analysis to the un secretary general's visit to moscow and moscow, where we begin with daughter jabari, who's alive from the russian capital. the un secretary general dasa as met with

very gay lover of the russian foreign minister, his due to meet also with the russian president. what's the general sentiment in moscow about this visit? especially after the secretary general said that he doesn't agree with russia stance on ukraine. yes, of course. the un secretary general is their highest level official to visit the russian capital since the start of russia. so called special military operation, which began on every 24th. but there seems to be a very warm reception from at least so far the russian foreign minister survey love that he said that he highly appreciated the visit by the secretary general. and that he is always happy to meet with you and officials and to discuss any of the situations i may be ongoing. i think it was very clear from there or just for

internet. yeah, sorry, i'm going to interrupt you because we're going to go live to germany now where the u. s. defense secretary is speaking after that meeting with the defense officials from 40 countries that's with me and your team might play a role in that range. surely with that all day wrong with tomorrow, i really will remain handy and come home. we're

only showing up a decision by along with and i yes. and yesterday was the british government and brian brain with additional capabilities as well today. and it was a new brain, our view is less important progress we're seeing more every day. i applaud all the countries that have risen in our rising to meet this demand. but we don't have any time the waste, the briefings let today, laid out clearly why the coming weeks will be so crucial for ukraine. so we gotta

move at the speed of war. and i know that all the leaders leave today more resolve than ever to support ukraine in his fight against russian aggression and atrocities. and i know that we're all determined to do even more to better coordinate our efforts. so i was especially glad to hear general walters encourage us all to make more determined use of you comes coordination mechanism. now that to ensure that we continue to build on our progress, we're going to extend this forum beyond today. i'm proud to announce that today's gathering will become a monthly contact group on ukraine's self defense. and the contact group will be a vehicle for nations of good will to intensify our efforts and coordinate our assistance and focus on winning today's fight and the struggles to come. the

monthly meetings may be in person, virtual or mixed. and they all extend the transparency, the integration, and the dialogue that we saw today. and let me underscore another key point. we held an important session today on the long term support for ukraine's defenses, including what that will take from our defense industrial basis. and that means dealing with the tremendous demand that we're facing for munitions in weapons platforms and giving our staunch support to ukraine. well, also meeting our own requirements and those of our allies and partners. but it also means redoubling our common efforts to strengthen ukraine's military for the long haul. and i look forward to our discussions and the contact group and

elsewhere about how to get that done right. let me gang thank all of the countries who came together today. they've done crucial work and they sent a powerful signal. we're going to build on today's progress and continue to reach out to nations of goodwill to help ukraine defend itself. and will continue working transparently and urgently with our allies and partners. and will continue pushing to support and strengthen the ukrainian military for the battles ahead. so we leave tonight, strengthen and so does ukraine. thank you, and i'll be glad to take your questions. thank you miss sector. our 1st question to you will come from. so we went on a p, a microphone. thank you and mr. secretary, actually i have

a double question for you. and moldova is, is they being a bit security measures or after a series of explosions in the separatist region of just nasty? or do you think there is a risk of spillover of the conflict to more dover? and then my 2nd question is, after this big meeting about arming ukraine, are you, aren't you concerned that are put in may become a restless and threaten again to use a nuclear weapon well on the issue of spill over to mo, moldova, because of what we seen here, a reporting of a recent, a violence, we're still looking to the cause of that, that still, you know, still doing an analysis sir, so not really sure what,

what that's all about. but we'll get something that we'll, we'll stay focused on. and certainly we don't want to see any skull over and, and again, and it's important to make sure that we do everything that we can to ensure that ukraine is successful. and that's the best way to, to address that. and your 2nd part of the question there, so be was well, you know, you, you heard a say a number of times that, that kind of rhetoric is very dangerous and unhelpful. nobody wants to see a nuclear war happen happen. it's a war that you know, or all sides lose, and so the rattling of saber sabers and, and, you know, dangerous rhetoric is clearly unhelpful and something that we won't engaging.

our next question goes to susan. gail hard from the df secretary, what military a do you now expect from the gym and government and do you think the delivery of jackets tanks is sufficient in your opinion? you mean cheetos which is what that? yeah. so let me just say that, and i think you probably heard me say this before. as i visited germany, i consider germany to be a great friend and an ally. and, you know, we've served a, i've served in germany as a, as an officer and, and worked with german forces and, and i, it's, it's always been a real pleasure to, to work alongside our, our german partner, sir. now i think it's, it's significant that you know, germany announced that it was gonna provide 50 tito systems. i think that those

systems will provide real capability to for ukraine. and in terms of what else germany will do going forward. again, that's a sovereign decision. one that you're that, that the german leadership will make and i don't want to speculate on that. i just believe that just based upon everything that i've seen in my interaction with the minister of defense and how intently she's been focused on making sure that she can do everything that she can to help and work alongside her partners and allies. that she'll continue to look for ways to be, to be relevant and, and provide a good capability till ukrainians as they continue to, to prosecute this fight. the next question visit john, is me new york times mister secretary, yesterday you mentioned that one of the united states is goals in ukraine. now.

wish to see russia weekend, can you explain more fully what that means? and specifically, what do you want to weaken and how you would measure success in that regard? yeah, john, so i think we've been pretty clear from, from the outset. but we do wanna make it harder for russia to threaten his neighbors and, and leave them less able to do that. now, if you look at what's transpired here in the 62 days or so that, that, that ukraine and russia, i've been, i've been involved in this struggle here. russia has, in terms of its land forces or land forces have been a trade it in a very significant way. casualties are, are, are pretty substantial if they've lost a lot of a lot of equipment. and they've used a lot of precision guided munitions. and they've lost a major surface combatant. and so they are in fact in terms of military capability,

weaker than when it started. and you know, john, it'll be harder from them for them to replace some of this capability as they go forward. because of the sanctions and the trade restrictions that have been placed on m and. and so we would like to make sure again, that they don't have the same type of capability to bully their neighbors. that we, that we saw at the outset of this, of this conflict. next question goes to a, which spangenberg or from a r div question? oh hello. how can we guarantee a safe and secure crane in the future? is it possible that ukraine becomes men wealth natural? again, that'll be a sovereign decision. i think that a nato will always stand by his principles of maintaining an open door so

that i want to speculate on what, what could come. i do believe that that you know, in the future, if the possibility exist, i think ukraine will seek to, ah, once again, a apply to become a member of nato but, but again, that's, that's probably a bit down the road and in speculation at this point is not very helpful. i think the 1st step is to is to in this conflict. and i think that though you know what needs to happen to cause a conflict to come to an end is mr. poot needs to make a decision to in this conflict. and he's the person that started it, it was unjustified. and, and of course i, it, it'll be his decision to deescalate and then and then go back to the negotiating table. and we really all would like to see that happen. again, last question to day mindful of our time, it goes to the address in from tv to denmark. thanks is the

security, the russian foreign minister has warned that there is a danger of, of a 3rd world war and as real danger of, of nuclear weapons being used in the present situation. i another afraid that the conflict will somehow spin out of control and will had this euclid confrontation. well, we certainly will do everything within our power and within ukraine, ukraine on the same approach to everything with an air power to make sure it doesn't spin out the control international communities focused on that as well. again, i think there's any bluster about the use of nuclear possibility of use of nuclear weapons is very dangerous and unhelpful. nobody wants to see a nuclear war, nobody can window. and as we do things, and as we are, you know, take actions. we are always mindful of making sure that we have the right balance

and we're taking the right approach. so there's always a, a possibility to a number of things can happen. but, but, you know, again, i think it's, it's unhelpful and dangerous for, for the rental savers. and speculate about the use of nuclear weapons banks. thank you all. that's all the time we have for today's press conference. we really appreciate y'all come to the us defense secretary lloyd austin, holding a news conference in germany there after his meeting with officials from more than 40 countries. a meeting was held at the ranch giant air base in southwestern, germany, the headquarters of the united mate, united states, air force in europe are the objective of the meeting was to rally support for army . ukraine are to help it fight our fresh as latest military assault in the east. b u. s. offense. secretary expressing confidence that ukraine can prevail against russia in this conflict. he said that the u. s. in its allies will meet on

a monthly basis to talk about ukraine. let spring in set by fin hall is at the ran shine air base for us. this was a broad coalition said that the u. s. brought together beyond a show of unity and a powerful signal that austin said was sent. what have they achieved? what concrete pledges have they made for ukraine today? well, it's very clear also when you're listening to awesome that to the u. s. has traveled here to europe, so pick up this leading leadership role. what also saying is things need to be stepped up, but also speeded up, we need to move at the speed of war. he sat and basically he's sort of hinting at the slow pace in which germany has been reacting to the war in ukraine. germany has been heavily criticized. germany, of course, is the largest economy here in europe for not doing enough until yesterday. even

germany was very reluctant to send heavy weapons. well, what the us and what often has achieved by holding this meeting is that germany has made this turn around just an hour ago. so the minister of defense from germany has announced that they will, will send you said gay par, she's out, tank's empty aircraft crop system still ukraine, which is a complete turn around in germany, was one of the countries very reluctant because of this fear that it would be a 3rd world war that would be nuclear attack. it's something that the chancellor has said just a few days ago during an interview. so now the u. s. is here, they're really making a big fist, bringing all these countries together and basically pushing also germany a bit further in the, in its actions towards helping ukraine. indeed, the us defense secretary saying that it's significant that germany has now announced that they would send these weapons system to ukraine. but with russia

that warning that this is turning into a proxy war with moscow, with them warning of the threat of a 3rd world war, ave concerns there that perhaps too much support could fuel the conflicts go even further. absolutely, this is of course a very delicate balance and this balance has been sort of maintained in the last couple of months since the invasion started initially. also the us was very reluctant because of this fear. and now you see that of course the u. s. a really stepping up this military efforts, this military support and here in germany, but also in other countries in europe. there is, of course, this, this history of the cold war being in the middle between the u. s. and the soviet union back then, of course it is this of also this distance to the war to the war zone and ukraine that people get really worried here about expansion or spilling over into possibly natal country. so definitely there's always this question,

is this balance still being maintained, or are we now stepping up the efforts to march on the nato side? so definitely this, this is a new new turnaround. basically, the us doing all this after making this big fist here in germany on european soil. thank you very much for that to boston, my force at devonshire air base in germany and more now on the un secretary general visit to russia. he has held talks, as we said, with the russian foreign minister said a law roof is also due to meet with the russian president vladimir putin. later and then the un secretary general will travel to ukraine's capital key for talks with the ukranian president. let's bring in our diplomatic editor, jamie space. was that the united nation for me on this? it's a very important trip, isn't a james for the un secretary general, a very tough diplomatic place that he finds himself in? what can he realistically achieve in moscow and key?

well, i think the people around the secretary general 1st will be a little bit relieved. a one senior official had said to me before the visit, where it worried that the russians might spring a surprise on this honest a particularly mister latter off who's a very county international diplomat may have had some new proposal up his sleeve. he didn't that the secretary general, i think a pretty narrow focus. they believe that after 2 months of war, there is though, the possibility of some movement on that narrow focus, which is humanitarian and you, humanitarian contact. brute group bringing together ukraine and russia and the un and a specific focus with the you and, and the insertion committee, the red cross on trying to do something about the desperate situation in mary or pull coast to go to get the ukrainians on site. this as well, and the ukrainians not entirely happy that the sacred general went to moscow. first presence lensky himself, as said, it's simply wrong, no justice, and no logic in this order. the sex general. and we think mr. lensky are on thursday in keys. so they will have to, i think, a deal with the ukrainians being

a little bit upset at the beginning on this. but i think the cranes probably we pleased that the secretary general was quite tough in his comments in moscow. he said there were 2 clear positions on this. there was the russian position. then he said, nick, i thought was going to say the ukranian position, but the russian, you position and the u. n. position, making it clear as an international position that believes what russia is doing is against the un charter and against international law. and the russians of course, say that the world is been gang up against them. and it was interesting that mister love roth, when he spoke, said that, that, that vote that was so against russia in the un general assembly only came about because russia had been so, or other countries had been threatened by the u. s. to change their votes. and vote against russia, and he seemed to suggest that was because i'm also because ambassadors live in the

united states and that children go to us schools and universities suggesting perhaps that the, that they believe that there has been threats against the children of ambassadors. that's something certainly we'll put to the un, but certainly i've heard no allegations of that sort. russia certainly in the general assembly has been, i think, surprised by the support for ukraine rusher, of course, keeps an advantage in the un system, which is that it is a permanent member and it has a veto. an important bit of news on that veto russia lost across the street on the 25th of february. well, in the last hour the un general assembly is come up with a new motion. next time a country cost is vito. it has to come and explain itself in the un general assembly. why it costs that veto. that's a new development just happened. i thank you for that same space that if america is a life or i say at the united nations and the u. s. secretary of state has said that washington and its allies well continued to provide ukraine with military aids,

antony blank, and tell the senate foreign relations committee that the us and ukrainian governments are in agreement about what's needed. their success is primarily because of their incredible courage. and determination, but it's also because we were able to equip them with what they needed for every tank that the russians have had in ukraine. we've managed with 30 allies and partners in one way or another to provide about 10 anti armor systems for every plane that the russians have flown in the skies. there been about 10 anti aircraft, munitions, of 100, another. but we're doing this very quickly. and in the past, it's taken from the time a president made a draw down decision to getting equipment into the hands of the people who needed it weeks. now often it's 72 hours come on this life. so our job here is roseanne jordan on capitol hill. so ross, just how much money is still being your mom to help with aden weapons? well, the latest to draw dale, which is a supplemental announced over the weekend,

is $165000000.00 to provide a non nato ammunition. ammunition that would dough work in soviet era weapons, equipment that the ukrainians own and know how to use that is a being of passed along to the ukrainian military in order to defend territory in the east and the southern parts of the country. now several $1000000000.00 have been spent on military equipment since our last september. but this is a case where the administration says that it's going to be preparing a supplemental, a budget request strictly for arming the, the ukrainian military. those numbers have not been calculated yet, but there certainly is going to be a good idea given the meetings this weekend. and keith with the president of lloyd mere zalinski and with the contact group meeting, chaired by the defense secretary, lloyd austin, to j in germany. this is of course,

a situation where the u. s. is very much aware that this solid changing war between russia and ukraine is changing in terms of the dynamics. it's changing in terms of, of the kinds of assaults that the russians are launching on ukrainian territory. and certainly the u. s. also has an interest in seeing ukraine carry out some of its own offensive measures in order to protect its territory, not simply respond to an another russian, a bombing or air strike. thank you for that. rosalind jordan lived there on capitol hill in washington. now on the ground in ukraine. russian rockets have hates a commercial center in the city of separation, killing one person and injuring another is to last large city under ukrainian control in the southeast. so 5 been the destination for ukrainians, fleeing the front lines, but reinforcements are being sent and trenches being dug in expectation of an assault and ukrainian forces that confronting the russian military. busy in the east,

i should forces pushing south and advancing north from done yet that's controlled by russian back separatists. not faith in their how own home families are trying to find shelter where they can, including in be purpose, industrial buildings out there is chance. traffic reports from near her left car in russia back separate is controlled east ukraine. this bunker is built under a soviet built brick factory and it's typical of some of the joint great cavellas spaces under ground. underneath many of the soviet built industrial plants in this region now it's being used as a place of shelter for around 4 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 is 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 is the 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 wall. and this is absolutely fascinating. these was gross diagrams who 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 still hear, you know, possibly more than 40 years. 40 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 polka sna. 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 leman. that is north of slim 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 from russian forces. as i say, the families here have 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 calling days, 3 explosions have taken place in 24 hours in the break away. moldova region of trans nicea, they targeted to soviet iraq radio antennas and a military unit. the antennas were used to broadcast ration radio from the village of my act. on monday, the ministry of state security in to rap sol was also hit on overs present says the attacks on attempt to destabilize her country. did you send employer then we can

relate to what's happened in the past 24 hours and the reason of dance nestea as an escalation of tensions. i would like to remind you there for a few weeks. there has been several bomb alerts in the region in schools and medical institutions. while jovan authorities are following with caution and a visual and see events that are happening on the territory controlled by to ross pull. our analysis indicates there are tensions between different forces within the region. we're interested in, d, stabilizing the situation. we condemn any provocation or attempts to involve moldova in actions. that could be threatened, the country's peace. and still ahead on this news our how the war in ukraine has sent vices spiraling on supermarket shelves in libya. and in sports why no rancho cove h will have no trouble getting to defend his title at wimbledon. peter has the story stated. ah
