which was actually inaugurated on the 1st of january by the prime minister to be reported that they could actually see, you know, could absorb that the plane because it's flying over and settlement seem to be in, you know, having some problems before it crashed into a gorge close to the airport on because it was in the town area. and, you know, army does not become, you know, by police can via, by relief and rescue operations. at least they could respond. i think quickly and all we get any these health explanations about the cause of the crash. why this plan went down? i think it's too soon to see it, but from what the onlookers or people living in the settlements observed as the plane flew over,

they could be reported. seeing that it seemed to be having a problem. you know, things box coming up and stable before the 100 loud crash. and many of them reported that even before we got information from the, from the airport authorities, or from you know, the flight professions experts at the airport. because what onlookers have reported seeing before the crash happened, they could see the happening when the plane to, you know, was going above the settlement. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. from the whole, the russia has on least a barrage of mythos striking multiple targets across the crime. for the 1st time in

2 weeks, at least 20 people have been killed in the central city of the need for where rocket hit to residential building. that's according to the governor or the 60 were reported injured. rescue teams are searching for survivors in the rubble strikes are also reported in care of and the western city live one rocket less the huge crater in a village near the capital. the missile attacks hit power infrastructure, resulting in major blackouts across the country. and sasha boswell joins us now live from care that it's morning. vera is the scale of destruction from the overnight attacks becoming clearer plays and 8 and you know, every minutes every hour really counts. his rescue teams continue to sift through the rubble underneath that apartment block and denise pro that was hit by a russian missile on saturday. destroyed to pretty much, i mean, we saw it's

a flame. now what they say is that they've managed to pull out dozens of people alive, including a 3 year old, a girl. but sadly, we know now that local officials are saying at least 20 people have been killed, including a teenage girl, so very sad and grim scenes. the baron date is particularly difficult work for the rescuers because they're having to work in very cold conditions, often without enough electricity or in the night snuff light because of the ongoing power shortages. now the attack in denice was part though of a wider picture. there was a wave of missile attacks across ukraine on saturday, including here in the capitol cave. we certainly heard a series of explosions. and those attacks were mainly targeting infrastructure power infrastructure that's according to ukranian officials, you say that a number of facilities are, were hits. they of course, will be now looking to try and repair those facilities,

restore some of the power and electricity, but is going to take time to what they're saying is that they are putting in place a number of emergency outages over the next few weeks. but they say, look, many people across ukraine will be facing in terms of electricity in power of a difficult few days ahead. and we've also been hearing those reports about western countries will start sending time. so we're getting any kind of reaction or comment from ukraine, and officials from the kronen president on us will ukrainian, the president of the modem is lensky and his nightly address. or he talked about denise pro, he pay tribute to the people who are working so hard to rescue people said everything will be done to rescue every last person, every survivor possible. and he said, look, this is just another example of what he called russian terrorism. and the way to stop these kinds of attacks, he says, is by sending more weapons. now we know that britain has confirmed that it will

send some of its challenger to tanks, zalinski his well combat. and he, sony going to hope that that paves the way for other western powers to also send a tanks. we know, for example, that countries like poland, a willing to send their german built, let the tax, but that has to be signed off by germany, germany. so fast, been quite reluctant to sign off on european powers, sending their german built tanks because they worried that those consent, the wrong sign to moscow that is going to escalate the conflict there. certainly more and more pressure building. the fact that the u. k is decided to send these tanks. i think we'll certainly see are the western powers following suit in the next days? or i thanks so much and cash tabatha with chinese government. so 60000 people with coven 19 died in hospitals since it abandoned its strict and demick policy last month. it's so sharp increase from previously reported figures, and scientists say the true tally is likely to be higher. katrina,

you reports from bay june almost 60000 people have died from quarter 19 in china in the past 5 weeks. that's according to new data released on saturday. it's a huge increase from previous figures. and health officials say the elderly has been hit the hardest really ill patients. i mean the elderly people with the oldest being 105, the average a 75 and a half. and those a 60 and above accounting for 89.6 percent of the cases are, is also common for them to have a variety of underlying diseases. the world health organization and several countries have acute china of under representing the scale of the outbreak. early last month, waging abruptly lifted its 0 curve policy after almost 3 years. hospitals nationwide were overwhelmed and medical staff under enormous pressure, including american dr. howard bernstein. everything was just completely clot,

clogged up, you know, the emergency room was full, every bed was full. the waiting room was full, waiting in to get to the emergency room. the room was full and then all the i see you in the hospital beds were taken previously. only people who died from corona virus induced respiratory failure were included in the official death toll. now those who died of the virus in combination with other illnesses are being counted. the government says the number of people being treated in the clinics, like the peak and late december, that that number has now declined by about 80 percent. doctor bernstein says his hospital is no longer crowded, but the outbreak is far from over. there is a sort of shocking amount, the illness and degree of the illness and. and now, now we're dealing with different coded phenomena. which,

which i find is people who are ill in december, who have still still do not feel like they were millions of chinese are traveling from city to remote region. the lead up to the luna year movement that's expected to cause a surge infections. authorities are focusing unimed proving medical facilities and access to medicines in rural areas. international health experts have welcome to the new data, but as the figures only include those who died in hospital, they say the true death toll could be much higher. katrina, you out 0 paging. mean mars john turn stepping off an ad campaign against armed opposition groups. at least 10 people including a mother and a young child were killed in to asked dr. last week. tony chang has more from bangkok. these 2 attacks referred to one on the western border where the military was apparently targeting the headquarters of the chin national army,

but accidentally dropped to bombs inside indian territory in the state of many people. and people made the point that over the course of the last 2 years since the crew took place in a tax like this, the men, my military have dropped bombs on, ty, territory, bangladesh, territory, and now indian territory. and none of those governments has registered proper complaints. i think there's a feeling here that they're being accommodated to a certain extent by their neighbors. the 2nd attack was in the south in k in state and targeted what appears to be 2 churches. 5 people killed their mother, a toddler, 2 catholic pastors and a local villager as well. so very much the bronze of these are texting felt by civilians on the grid. but i think it also illustrates the fact that mamma's military will low it's still on the ground, has parallel control near complete mastery. and as we understand it,

ma'am ma military out shopping, that the moment amongst their allies, countries like china, russia and we understand yugoslavia as well for what ever air resources they can get their hands or doesn't need to be fast. and as long as it can get in the air and drop brahms, that's what they're looking for because the only challenge they face a small arms fire on the ground for the pain supreme court has rolled an 18 year old agreement with china and vietnam to search for oil in the south, china sea is unconstitutional unless say this could be a major obstacle to plans by present further on market. junior, to revive talks with joint oil exploration with china, bobby low has more from an in law. it was a success philippine government official said when president ferdinand marcus junior returned home from a state visit in beijing earlier this month with billions of dollars in investment pledges in more than a dozen agreements. marcus and president,

. china sea has been on and off the government's agenda for years, while the 25 agreement languished in court. the 2 countries signed another deal in 2018, only for it to be terminated 4 years later. so the big question now isn't, if markers can succeed, but whether such an undertaking with china is possible at all. and in the say, the ball is in china's court later, whenever the philippines cox to china, it always ends up with bay jane. telling manila what is ours is ours. what is yours? we fair. it's difficult to come up with a workable agreement. if the premise of the discussion is in that framing named on china. but president marcos believes searching for oil in the south. china sea is crucial and i think there might be a likely, there my to ease around it that to let in a government, the government partnership. that divinely. it may not be a necessity, china, but these for us would reserves of the countries only offshore gas plant shrinking

and an economy that relies on oil imports. they portions of the south china sea to the philippines. future energy sources is something on which everyone can agree. barnett below al jazeera manila still ahead on al jazeera, thousands of people in israel protest against over the whole of the judiciary planned by ben. you mean the for now who's new government? ah ah, there is rain falling over top of cyprus on sunday. hey there thanks for stopping by. and this disturbance really just spinning its wheels around the eastern mediterranean. the worst of the rain will fail for the open water is still gonna hit the levant with some rain, but nothing like we saw in on talia over the last few days. rain is also petering
