the aim is to raise 1000000 long matches for conservation initiatives. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. if the human suffering that we report. we brave bullets and bomb and we always include the views from our sites . from the al jazeera london broadcast intact to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitations this decade is of most consequential dictated events is she doth fall to many companies that are doing bad things in the front. in part 2 of human rights activists. q, me 19 and environmental if we known and keep the systems that are not working, but the longer that you fight them, the more that things change studio be unspent paid on al jazeera, with ah,

bolstering all the lines says joe biden is on his 1st trip to japan, since taking office is the u. s. seeks the counter china. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera live from dell hall. so coming up, we report from the front line in east in ukraine way russian forces are advancing to control the don bass region homes, abandoned fleeing for their lives. millions across south asia are affected by flood walters, sweeping across parts of india and bangladesh. growing concerns over an unusual spread of the monkey pox virus outside africa. ah, u. s. president joe biden is in japan for the time since taking office.

people in a pacific region. with robert bride now his intel care, so quite a wide range of issues for the to lead us to get through. right. that's right. and they are going through those issues right now in this palace, right in the center of a tokyo, behind me, that bilateral meeting has been going on for almost a couple of hours now. it also incorporates a working lunch and we are expecting a relatively soon a joint news conference from could see that and also from biden to see exactly what they have been talking about. but a lot of this we know is focused on security issues, which of mutual interest to them and they, the china and china is growing assertiveness in this part of the world. it's interesting though, right at the start of the session casita made reference to russia. they said the whole a trip by bite and has been ange, it's both string alliances with south korea. with that japan in the face,

selves increase testing the nuclear missiles by north korea. the threat of an actual nuclear test by north grid, sending a message to china is interesting because you are also right in the very beginning of the opening remarks, criticize and condemned russia for its aggression in the ukraine, which i think the united states would have welcomed because they also set does send a message to russia that as, as part of its international efforts to lead the international community, the united states does call upon its allies in this part of the world to help support that which japan is doing. joining the boy constant sanctions with sanctions of its own. and also interestingly rallying other nations in asia pacific also to condemn what russia is doing in the ukraine right now. and rob the same time we've got this quote meeting going on tomorrow in tokyo, take us through what we can expect out of that. yeah,

notorious examples of russia's brutality in this war bodies of murdered ukrainians may no longer lay in the street. and people are trying to go back to the way things were. but you don't have to go far to see what the conflict has left behind. so it's like these are common in places that have been taken back from the russians . this tank behind me seems to be pointing a gun. i would, might have been the last thing it was able to shoot at before it was disabled, well, completely destroyed over here is the entrance to ukrainian army base in the forest . now, the russians are no longer there, but the russian threat remains over. here is a sign that says mines which indicates that beyond this fence there are still land mines, an unexploded ordinance that have yet to be cleared. marcia lived under russian occupation in a village outside, boucher. she lost her uncle, brother,
