ah, what's going on in vladimir putin's mind right now? could this war go? nuclear is being on the trump team, the golden ticket to electoral victory. can americans agree on any immigration policy? is there a middle ground between 0 tolerance and open borders? the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. heavy fly thing is, we don't certainly focus on the politics of the conflict. it's the consequence of war. the human suffering that we before. we brave bullets and bombs and some of the world's most troubled regions. the army fled in the face of ice will advance. it is one of the most serious about the violence in recent years. in some instances we are the targets because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law. and we always include the views from all sites. ah

aah! ukraine's president accuses russia of committing war crimes in fair san, which his troops retook after weeks of fist fighting. ah, i'm carry johnson. this is out there. a lot from dope. also coming up a suspect is in custody. often explosion on a busy shopping street in the heart of istanbul, kill 6 people. face to face, joe biden is set to meet changing pain. g 20 summit. east african leaders announced peace talks, us thousands, flea, heavy fighting between congolese troops and the m 23 rebel green. ah,

b cranes, president has accused russia of committing war crimes and killing civilians in the southern hassan region for commercial landscape made the announcement in his nightly address hearts of the region, including the city of his son, where retaken by ukrainian forces last week after russia pulled out slid closer. investigators have already documented more than $400.00 russian bul crime lab bodies of both civilians and military are being found in the her san branch in the russian army left the same savagery behind as in other regions of our country where it managed to win bade we will find and bring to justice. every murderer. no doubt amy down to specify the humanitarian situation in hassan's regional capital has been described as very difficult following russia's withdraw. utility companies are racing to restore power and water, or to vital infrastructure was targeted by moscow's forces. as they left, i said,

beg reports from mc alive. this is what the russians left behind, destroyed military equipment. oh, the ukrainians are continuing to raise their national flags as they retake more villages in the horizon region. ukrainians lived under occupation for 8 months. lima who is lowered with we couldn't say a word here for cars came and they told us it is because of your pray. ukrainian position. i said you can she us down because we are ukrainians. we couldn't say a word. we couldn't say glory, t crane or not. and the ukrainian military rolled in the joy of people here was clear soldiers treated like celebrities. and this is how people hid their acts of resistance. ah, if the damage left behind is immense, what it is with all of them for so to the needs of those living here,

authorities are working to restore electricity and water but her son and the rest of the country are within striking distance of russian missiles and drones, such as like mc alive, bear the scars of this war. this building behind me was hit on friday and it resulted in 7 people killed. it just goes to show that although russian forces have withdrawn from course on the still able to hit targets across ukraine with deadly consequences. i said bag, a da 0 michael life. mark galati is an expert on russian politics and security affairs. he says the withdrawal from hess on could be a part of the russian president's long term strategy. was interesting because even at the point when the ukranian government was still saying, we're not quite sure if they really mean to withdraw. and it may be a trap. in fact, the russians carried out a relatively smooth and efficient transfer across the nipple river. so what this really means is that, yes, they have left behind what was

a politically significant, but militarily indefensible city. and yet they now have their forces arrayed in rather more defensive lines on the other side of the river, which really gives us a sense that from hooton's point of view, he's no longer really trying for any kind of substantial offensive operations. he's just digging in not so much trying to win, but trying to avoid losing that to however much are you know, who rick war monger, he has proven in this war. he's also demonstrated that he can be rational. it takes him some time to get use the idea of the fee, but whether it was his initial drive on q, or now the withdrawal can house on, he clearly can get his head round it. and then this is one of the concerns it if given time, he can get used to the idea that this war is being lost. he may be willing to negotiate. and i think this is putting strategy he's digging in for the long term. he's preparing his mobilize reserve is he's preparing it defensive lines because he

really wants to be able to say to the west specially come spring. so you say you've had one hard winter, how many more hot winters you willing to go through? are you willing to, to spend billions of euros dollars in pounds in prosecuting this war? because we can keep this up for ever. now, whether or not that's true, he's hoping precisely to be able to undermine the will of the west through this long term performance. the key is the interior minister says a member of the courtesy separatist group. the p k. k has been arrested in connection with a blast in essential is tongue bull. at least 6 people were killed and more than 80 others wounded in from this explosion. the government has found to retaliate them. casale reports from miss tumble the bloodshed and panic on what samples busiest. 3 is a pedestrian eyes world of shops and restaurants bombed once by iceland, 2016. now the sea 2nd deadly explosion in 6 years. these pictures show the

aftermath filled by someone, how you go to a station below. emergency services rushed in to treat the wounded police shut the area down and the witnesses spoke of what they've seen is and we are a bit far away. but we saw a few people lying on the ground. it was a huge blast noise. and afterwards there was dark smoke rising. later on, people began running away. i want people not to panic because they were children and families present. to us present raj of paper dawn called it a bomb attack. those sad information was still coming in the office and they, to my funeral to go to mac relevant units about state continue to work to reveal the perpetrators of this treacherous attack. efforts to take care of a tech, the tech as nation to terrorism will not reach its goal today and tomorrow as it was yesterday. let's see how pack the streets are watched a bottom right of the screen. something is resting against the suite furniture and

it's where the explosion seems to come from. the motor is unknown for now. the impact is all to clear. seen, i'm solo, l 0. assemble wildly to have already started arriving in bali for the g. 20 summit . us president joe biden was among the 1st to land in indonesia. he's to meet china's change and paying for their 1st face to face talks. since barton was elected head of any thing, the us president said, lines of communication will stay open to ensure the 2 countries don't vin, into conflict. patrick falk is in beijing with more of amazing is highly anticipated as this. it was notable how little coverage there was of it in chinese state media this monday morning. and that perhaps as a lot about some patients expectations for these talks. remember, the 2 leaders have met several times before, but this is the 1st face to face between president biden and president,

she as heads of state and both the arguably coming into this meeting on strong ground with present. she having secured his 3rd term and present biden, and his democrats having beaten expectations in the u. s. midterms, but present she is facing an economic crisis at home is also facing growing backlash over his 0 covered sir policy. and so many amas agree also that recent u. s. export controls ended curtailing china's technological advancements could create love uncertainty for china moving forward as well. so that is one thing in particular that present. she may well want to address in this meeting, but there is very little common ground between the 2 sides. china's ability to influence north korea and the possibility that it might sway young and to dialing dance and its recent aggressive baby could be used as a bargaining chip. but it is, as i say. busy there are low expectations from china on these chalks,

and the best positive outcome perhaps is simply that the 2 sides are keeping communication lines open. indonesia has tightened security on the island, the head of the summit. thousands of personnel have been deployed to keep leaders safe. jessica washington reports in bonnie preparations are underway to wilkinson the world's most powerful lead is security is the top priority for the host nation, that it will probably be at the g. 20 is attended by hedge of state. so we are doing simulations of any possible threats, like the resume hostage situations and any other extraordinary event. there is the duty of the special forces, the weeks leading up to the summit. elite soldiers have taken part in drills including paratrooper training, with the $18000.00 military and police officers will be stationed in news or do, or the resort district hosting. the delegates, 12 warships will be deployed and more than a 1000 personnel will be on stand by for evacuations. in case

a natural disaster occurs in terms of security, we are experienced. we also pray that nothing will happen, but overall the security from the police military. very good. indonesia has experienced violent attacks in the past biggest was the bali bombings 20 years ago . it also sits on the ring of fire magnet prone to natural disasters, but authority say they have prepared for every scenario as one of the most popular tourism destination valley is accustomed to welcoming visitors from all over the world. but this will be the most high profile event, the island and indonesia has ever hosted. the tourism section, he'd hard by covert 19 travel restrictions has started to recover in recent months with tourist arrivals and hotel bookings on the rise. we do hope that wednesday will be successfully secured. if this is happen, this is

a big blissful ross in bali. schools in the area will be closed for the week to help reduce traffic around the summit location. we are starting online learning again because of june 20 our island. our home will be more well known because of the g 20. so our students understand and they are proud with the eyes of the world on their home. many believe this is a chance to showcase barley, a safe welcome, new and ready to host all kinds of visitors, including heads of state. well, jessica washington joins us live now from a body. so jessica, what more can you tell us on what to expect from the g 20 summit? ah, well, today we are looking ahead to one of the most important bilateral meetings that will take place over the course of this week of diplomatic activity. the meeting

between president biden and president, she jin ping, as patrick mentioned earlier, this is a highly consequential meeting. and one that will be watched very closely in terms of the outcomes by not only leaders of the g 20 countries, but also leaders of countries outside of the group as well. in this part of the well, the asia pacific, both of us and china are competing for influence. so the stability or indeed the instability of the relationship between the 2. well, biggest economies has ramifications in particular for this part of the world. but u. s. officials has said that the talks will focus on this concept of managing competition, of setting god rails, so that the u. s. and china can compete responsibly to minimize any chances of conflicts or confrontation. but what we've heard from beijing's perspective is there is some level of skepticism. what does it mean to manage competition? who gets to set those god rails? and is it simply a mechanism for washington to try to limit beijing's growth from heat from the

perspective of the host nation indonesia, president joker with giotto a short while ago said that he is simply happy that so many world leaders are here in bali for the g 20 summit, in particular, he is content that at president biden and president, she are here in person. and he also noted that indonesia stands ready in any situation to be as sort of a bridge to help bridge gaps between any countries within the g 20 and also countries that might be outside the group. as we look ahead to the leaders summit, the, the spectacle that everyone will be watching, the focus that indonesia would like to pursue is on energy security, food security, health infrastructure. what remains to be seen is that in the face of so many tensions within the group, not just tensions between the u. s. and china. but the really salient tension is between western nations and russia and concerns that western nations had over russia's continued participation in g 20 events throughout the course of the year.

whether the meetings will be able to be productive, whether leaders will be able to find any sort of consensus, reach any common grounds. jessica, wanting to large risks in body that thanks for that update. or still the heads here on al jazeera, i think right now we have to think about what was a messaging that we utilized. who's actually responsible rifts within the republican party of the democrats dash, its hopes of taking control of the senate. and the world cup is unveiled and cattle whose country gets ready for footballs. biggest petition ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere a you reading the way? responsibly, cattle aways. hello. we've got something of a cold out in the weather across southern parts of china over the next cause there's been more cloud just slipping into central parts and that will continue to

drift further south. it's off the tail end of this web system here, which is making its way across japan, bright and breezy, or whether coming back in behind the one or 2 shells. but the wet weather, moving out into the open waters. lighter showers there into central china, just easing down towards the south boiling at around $21.00 celsius on monday. that's about what it should be for this time of year. and for the 1st time in months, temperatures below average by tuesday, with a top temperature of around 18 degrees celsius. so we will see some wet weather into southern parts of china. further north, it is generally a dry with some sunshine, sunshine, and showers across so much a southeast asia, the heavier showers, living to the south of the equator. now we'll see some big a down pause. they're coming into indonesia, but good scattering a showers right across the region, showing up at the shows that we have across southern parts of india. still looking very unsettled. here of course, we'll thessaly win, drifting those showers down towards southern parts of india and into shall. anchor

western disturbance faded, some showers because the far north of pakistan into northern areas of india, but turning dry and clearer behind the weather, sponsored by a cat on aways. ah ah ah,

think about what was the messaging that we utilized, who's actually responsible and whether or not each one of us elected officials are going to be held task when it comes to accountability. transparency of accessibility. we, i've heard all about the, this red wave and 25 year old maxwell frost is the 1st generation the candidate to be elected to congress. and he's clear about a major reason for the democratic party success. when you look at the numbers, we see that what's stopped the red wave where young voters, who turned out in historic numbers, who voted for democrats over 63 percent. republicans have been in the lead in the race for control of the house of representatives. but as the votes are tallied, the lead is beginning to narrow sharply and with some 20 undecided seats still to be declared. the democrats have not given up hope of holding onto the house as well . normally the elections for secretaries of state passed under the raid off,

but this time there's been an interesting trend. all for candidates pushed by former president donald trump have last. yet republican brad records burger has easily held onto his position in georgia. false did it seems by his refusal to give in to trump's pressure to amend the 2020 election results in his state. while final results are still awaited to one thing is clear, the biden administration has headed the most successful 1st term democratic party, mid terms in living memory. my cannot just sierra washington east african leaders have announced talk same stopping, fighting in the eastern democratic republic of congo, a so called peace dialogue will be held in tenure. on november, the 21st renounced when it came, as congress forces baffled rebels for control. the town of boomer in north kids a province is 25 kilometers from the regional capital. goma is the closest to the
