say, is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much his social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics? the bottom line is the right is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course we cover major global offense, but our passion lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine libya, yemen, the south region, and so many other, we go to them, you make the effort, we care, we state ah, rescue officials in ukraine are racing against time to find survivors. a day after

an apartment block and denise broke came under russian fire. ah, hello, i'm how much i'm room. this is your life. and also coming up, nepal announces an investigation after at least $68.00 people were killed in the nation's worst. aviation disaster indicates a bomb ribs, through a church and the eastern democratic republic of congo, killing worshippers. the government blames and armed group and pharmacies across europe are running out of several common medicines as winter infections. so the number of people killed in saturday's russian missile attack on an apartment building in the southeast has now sword to 30 rescue workers into ne pro are scrambling to look for survivors trapped in the rubble. dozens are believed to be

still missing from keith. here's natasha. butler ah smoke billows from the rubble is rescue, has continued to search for survivors in crane institute, often with emergency teams at work through the night. the cold and dark sifting through the debris of an apartment block that was destroyed by a russian missile. some people were pulled out alive, many, some were badly injured. among the dead was a 15 year old girl that they were emergency workers tried to console one woman who lost her son in law live in that one. what have you done to my son? you cowards, i'll curse you for ever. let the whole world curse you. the missile strike was part of a wave of russian attacks across ukraine on saturday. that official said targeted power infrastructure in a village. nick heave one be saw landed near this man's house. elsewhere in the

capital, people took shelter after a series of explosions while cities including hockey, even the viv, we're plunged into darkness. the town. it's terrible. what happening? nipple? i hope there aren't any more victims. it's a shame that the whole world is watching. isn't that no one can this horror they could have caused, but they don't want to. ukraine's military says a shot down more than 20 of over 30 russian missiles that were launched in the biggest wave of the tax on the country since the new year, the se, yogurt in auction years, napoleon will green ukraine's president said one only way to stop what he called russian terrorism was for the west to send more weapon was evening, thus broy a yoke a year. the weapons that our apartments have in their warehouses are the ones all warriors awaiting foia. if time runs out, we could not stop the terrace to a methodically killing of people with missile lion. but now, britain says it'll send some of its challenges to tanks, to keep zelinski hopes. that'll persuade other western powers to do the same and

help ukraine better defend itself against more attacks. like this. natasha butler, al jazeera keith. a few hours ago, ukraine's president directly addressed the russian people and accused them of staying silent, legislators shinji machine. i would like to address all those in russia or from russia who have failed to say a few words to condemn this terror. even now, even though they perfectly see and know everything, your cowardly silence your attempt to wait out what is happening. we'll only end with the same terrorists coming to get you one day. for us as president vladimir putin says, the military operation in ukraine has gained what he calls positive momentum. in a media briefing, the defense ministry didn't specifically mentioned in the pro, but said that the russian army carried out a successful missile strike on ukraine's command system. on saturday, the little green light l. a massage strike was carried out against ukraine's military and infrastructure. sy, gentlemen, that all assigned objects we're hitting at the,

at the targets of the strike have been achieved. officials and moscow have denied attacking civilians in ukraine as alhashan reports. they're saying that this was a planned attack on infrastructure, and that the, the targets that were aimed at what in civilian targets, this is what they did. the russians are saying the voice spoke session for the 40 minutes free and muddy as a how of also wrote on how to social media say using ukrainian politicians claim that these rockets were intercepted by ukrainian anti missile system. and this system had one of it's like it's hitting the building and then it was and precise with respect to the russian position with regard to the the pros attack there kind of denying that this was aimed at

this was that they aimed at civilian targets. however, all of the other side is also we had president tutoring, had an interview today. and i think that this economy situation is as positive the, the military operation as he called in ukraine is going on for the plan. and that is no, really anything outside the agenda. nothing surprising for the russian government as part of the presidents on the ground in ukraine, there's a fierce battle for control. raging in the east. russian forces are inching closer towards the city of buckman. a major transport hub in the dani at screeching tro stratford was there week to spend the last few hours inside the besieged city of bar mote were here at a new ukrainian tank defensive position on the outskirts of the town effectively.

the reason why these men are here is because of an intensification of the shelling of back moot in recent days. we do know that russian forces have taken control of a loss, at least of the town of solid r and the surrounding areas to the north apartment. and we also know, and we saw today the intensification of shelling from villages to the south east of bottom route as well. an indication of russian force is trying to completely surround the city of bar mood. we spoke to some of the estimated to 2 and 5000 people. civilians are still living inside the city, most of them refusing to go, they say because they've got nowhere else to go. but most of them elderly and the infirm as well. living on the desperate, desperate conditions. i mean, the town has had no electricity since august. and you can imagine how cold that is in conditions like this. no water since october. as i say,

the big fear now is that wasn't forces are trying to completely surround bottles. what you can hear there is artillery far in over our heads. we understand at positions of russian positions on the eastern side of the city and the conditions there. absolutely atrocious. we spoke actually to one man who described having to finally leave his house in that area of the city around 4 days ago. because he said that the russian forces were coming in there. we know, certainly, according to the military that we've spoken to in recent days, they say that the russians all making advances in that area. and as this defensive position is an indication of view crony at army or high a load, the further russian advances. alexander the whatever is a security and defense policy analyst and the editor in chief of the swiss military review. he joins us now live from geneva. alexander does the battle for solid dar,

which is this small salt mining town. mark, a new phase in the ukraine war. and if it does fall, how big a victory would that be for russia. ok, cylinder is not as important as it is not the possession of the town that is important. it is important because of the context. it is very difficult, it has proven very difficult for russian troops to take by mood. and so they are now trying to in circle the city. and we're, we're going to see most probably it's this russian advance is not a successful. there will be another movement in order to try and in circle a wider area in order to finally eventually take my heart and then it's all about. so you're talking about the battle for buck moved here. how strategic is back loot and is the battle for buckman representative of the current state of the war on ukraine's eastern front. it is in order of importance,

it is worth one quarter of all of the russian forces that have been committed to this special military operation. so the rough and at least seem to weigh this as a very significant, very important element. and it is the only area on the fields today where the russians are actually advancing is so russia appointed valero, a garage mother. he's the most senior general in the country as his overall commander for the war and ukraine. this is just the latest in a series of shake ups of moscow's military leadership. what does all this mean? and is it going to make a difference? in short, it's not a very good time for russia because if you are going to change the commanders of an operation during the operation, it means something has gone wrong. it means you need some fresh blood, some fresh brain power in order to address the situation. and it is not a good sign that russia has actually appointed the chief of general staff who is

the most senior military person in the armed forces into this particular role. and it is even worse than the previous commander, akin is actually staying on as his deputy. so you could understand the invitation between the different personality is going to be quite difficult. so alexandra, russian, president putin says that the military operation, ukraine, has gained what he's calling positive momentum. is there momentum, actually happening right now? and if russia is making some gains, is that due mostly to the russian military, or is it because of the wagner mercenary group? because both groups have contradicted each other recently when it comes to taking credit for gains. if you would take a historical parallel with it. and the 2nd one of the ways that the political leadership in the soviet union was able to maintain control over

the personalities within the red army, was to pick one general against another one marshal against another. and this competition we're seeing today in the leadership are put in russia, getting essentially the regular forces against a mercenary groups and trying to get an advantage. it's an emulation of competition going in order to decide who is going to be the 1st 2 to enter about. all right, an example of what the editor in chief of the swiss military view. thank you so much for your time. great. get your insight. thank you very much. the search for those still missing after a plane crash in to paul has been called off for the night. at least 68 people on board, the yeti airlines flight were killed as napoleon, worst aviation disaster in 3 decades. it happened about 200 kilometers west of the

capitol cap man. do the crash side is between poker as new international airport that only open 2 weeks ago. and his old one, the plane went down in a forest along the setting. and ducky river from ya to limbo reports from cat man to the plane was flying low and to, to land. when it came down in the tourist town of poker. martin, will you, this is the plane made a loud noise. we turned around and saw a bamboo tree fall down. i told my friend that the plane was falling to the ground . then we heard a blast where your leasing play rescue book has raced to the scene. finding parts of the wreckage on fire. local people joined officials to search for bodies and survivors, but mankato, nevada disco. the incident was very tragic. he looked the full force of the nipple army and the police have been deployed for rescue christians telling me to send you guy of his angelina, that michelin security agencies have to accept this challenge. it difficult is

a word that is not an al vocabulary. we are actively working to retrieve and identify the bodies as soon as possible and hand them over to the family. so in that the yeti airlines flight from gutman do was fullest passengers. 15 of them were foreign nationals. footage posted on social media shows the flight 5, the moment between pro 80 are appears to make a sharp turn before coming down by standards captured footage of flames. rising from the wreckage. it could be that the air cross go. i mean, that's an aerodynamic stole. when the speed is too low, and one of the wings stops flying in siri, graham, that should never happen. or if they had a sudden arranging fire off to say off, they should have been able to continue all the remaining engine core maintenance and deluxe standards of lead to several fatal accidents in napoleon recent years.

here in nepal, flying can be challenging as it has some of the worlds most remote runways, surrounded by mountains and difficult terrain. it can be challenging for pilots to land. in the yeti airlines, a craft was reportedly 15 years old and equipped with an older transponder with unreliable data and investigation into the course is underway regularly. bu i g 0 guzman, do there have been dozens of plane crashes in the pol over the years? last may, an accident in the mountainous mustang district, kill 22 people. in march, 2018 and aircraft landing and cap man do came off the runway and crashed. 49 people on board dived and 19 passengers on a sight seeing fight around mount everest lost their lives and 2011 honored and 67 people were killed when their plane had a mountain range near cap men do in september 1992 only months earlier a ty,

airways flight also crashed into a mountain near the capital. 99 passengers and 14 crew members died. john math, it is an aviation analyst. he says the crash appears to be the result of the plane stalling. they actually recently and only had 5 aircraft, neither only got 4, and so they're not a very big airline. but in general terms and nepali airlines are not thought of globally as being particularly safe. in fact, no airline from nepal is allowed to fly into the european union or because of their safety record. and it does appear though that the aircraft stalled. and that's the ation term for when you lose lift from the wings. and usually you lose one wing before the other, which is what seems to have happened here. the aircraft was pointing upwards, and then one wing the left wing drops and it then spirals into the ground, which suggests that the left wing had indeed stalled. that's to say,

and the asian term for running out of lift when it's not got enough airflow over the wing surface. basic part of training for all pilots to be able to cope with stalls and to recover from them and, and particularly not to get into a stalled condition in the 1st place. so we don't know how that happened. and by the time they were trying to recover, it was already too late. still had on al jazeera, new evacuation orders had been issued in parts of california, battered by heavy rain and snow. and new data from china reveals just how many lost their lives. the cupboard night team ever since restrictions were used last ah, how low they let start in north america,

and california is once again in the pot the more wet and windy weather. we've got another storm pulling into the u. s. west coast, bringing some very heavy rain to already saturated ground. we are like likely to see further flooding and the possibility of mud slides and landslides. it tends to snow in the mountains, we are likely see travel disruption from that. and those conditions blowing their way further east bringing more snow to the rockies. now, central parts of the u. s. have seen exceptionally high temperatures. that warmth is going to be pushed out by an area of low pressure that's gonna bring some more wet and wintery weather to the likes of the great lakes dropping temperatures here . and we are going to see where to weather look into that east coast temperatures coming down steadily over the next few days for places like washington dc. but a lot of heat to still be found in the soft riah conditions here. and that extends a to central america, places like mexico, the not the fine and dry conditions with plenty of sunshine, some heavy rain pulling into costa rica and panama over the next few days. we have

seen temperatures below the average in cuba for places like havana. if we have a look at the 3 day, we are going to see them pick up, they'll be plenty in the way of sunshine by wednesday, that should weather update. ah, with the american people if spoken. but what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much is social media companies know about you? and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line, under cover of reporting for those workplace? exclusive stories explosive results, al jazeera investigations. ah

ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour. the death toll from saturday's russian missile attack on a tower block and denise pro has climb to 30 dozens of people are believed to be trapped in the rubble. ah, the battle for control of townsend eastern ukraine has intensified. the kremlin says, russian forces have advanced towards the outskirts of the city of buckman to search for those missing after a plane crash and the paul has been called off for the night. at least 68 people on board, the yeti airlines flight, have been killed. it happened about 200 kilometers west of cut men to at least 12 people have been killed in a church attack in eastern democratic republic of congo. another $52.00 were wounded, including children. the attack happened in the city of ca,

cindy and north kiva province. harry faucet reports the bomb ripped through the center of the protestant church in the middle of sunday service images to graphic to be broadcasts showed the dead and injured lying among these pews and chairs, survivors screaming children were among the victims of what the army says was an improvised explosive device. that's just what we heard a loud noise coming from the church and we didn't know what was happening. it was only after some minutes that we were informed about the bomb attack. we have many victims among members of the church. unfortunately, we have too many victims of these attacks in our city of cindy. we are all affected by the situation and it has touched our brothers and sisters. it's the latest rupture in years violence in the borderlands between the d. c and uganda. soldiers from both countries had been battling fighters from the allied democratic forces, or adf, which in 2019 pledge allegiance to iso in bomb. i explode

a bomb exploded inside of the packed church. it caused many deaths and injuries clearly, but this terrorist act was carried out to the results of the adf. originally, a uganda non group, the adf has been based inside d. c territory, since the 1900 ninety's. it's accused of killing hundreds of villages. enraged over the last 2 years, i will sit al jazeera in brocade fast so local officials and residents say that nearly 50 women have been kidnapped by fighters in the north. the women were taken from around the town of r binda several managed to escape and return to their villages to raise the alarm. the city has suffered several raids by armed groups linked to al qaeda and isis. you as president joe biden has declared a major disaster in california where several storms have caused heavy flooding. around 25000000 people in the us state have been affected by evacuation orders or flood warnings, and at least 19 people have died. critical haine has more muddy water and

debris blanketing much of the state of california. one area getting half the precipitation. it usually gets in a year in just to 16 days. the reason 8 so called atmospheric rivers in a row since late december. and here we are, by some estimates 20 to 25 trillion gallons of water fallen over the course last 1617 days a stacking of these atmospheric rivers, the likes of which we have not experienced in our lifetimes. atmospheric rivers, or long streams of moisture from the tropic, the cotton, the jet stream, and carry tremendous amounts of water. this is just the latest one flooding caitlin clancy's home 3 times since the beginning of the month. and the cleanup was awful. but you know, we cleaned it up and then next thing you now fast forward like what 6 days was it? i don't know. i were flooding again. so we are in shock because even though we

prepped for it, we didn't prep for it to get as high as it had. and so that was even more mass, mar, destruction. it's impacting much of the state in the mountains dumping $54.00 centimeters of snow in just 24 hours in the hills charged by wild fires. the soil is unable to retain much moisture in the long term. that means all of this rain will do little to ease california's drought right now. it's causing major mudslides and said in massive boulders, into valleys, roads. irene washed away sinkholes, making travel, impossible, and in drought stricken california. thousands of trees weakened by the floods are now being knocked down by wind gusts of up to 96 kilometers an hour. people have been killed and power knocked out for tens of thousands. this major emergency declaration will allow citizen states to use some federal money to help cover the costs of the rescues in the recovery. it will provide grants to people who need to

find temporary shelters or make minor repairs. for those who don't have insurance, they can get low interest loans from the government to help them rebuilt. more people will need that help. the next atmospheric river is expected to hit sunday evening, and last through monday, patty gl haine al jazeera washington. china says 60000 people with cobra 19 died in the hospital since it abandoned its strict pandemic policy last month. it's a sharp increase from previously reported figures. katrina, you reports from beijing. almost 60000 people have died from corbet 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. the allowance really ill patients are mean the elderly people with the old as being 105, the average age 75 and a half and those age 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 accused china of under representing the scale of the outbreak. early last month, the aging abruptly lifted it 0 corvette policy after almost 3 years. hospitals nationwide were overwhelmed and medical staff under enormous pressure, including american dr. howard bernstein 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 for spirits re 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 phoebe clinics like these people in late december, but 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 was a sort of shocking amount, the illness and degree of illness. and. and now that we're dealing with different coven phenomena. which you know, which i find is people who are ill in december, who have still still do not feel like dave or millions of chinese are traveling from cities to remote region. the lead up to the luna year movement that's expected to cause a surge in infections. authorities are focusing on improving medical facilities and access to medicines in rural areas. it's national health expense have welcome to to

new data. but as the figures only include those who died in the hospital they staple to death till could be much higher. caterine al jazeera pitching tens of thousands in the spanish capital have demonstrated against government plans to cut public health funding. protesters in madrid say that the city is favoring private health providers. with the proposed cuts, regional authorities deny the claim and say the strikes and rallies are being organized by opposition. parties in the run up to local elections. for months, people across europe needing basic medicines have found them harder to get. the european medicines agency says there is a shortage of 13 drugs commonly needed to treat conditions, including covered 19 and cancer. dominic cain reports from berlin in the laboratory as the dell pitch pharmacy in paris. medicines are being prepared. in this case, it's the common antibiotic amoxicillin. the owner here says since people stopped wearing masks, they are catching more infections again. so the demand for simple medication is

higher and the major pharmaceutical companies cannot keep up. the shortage of medicine applies across europe. at this berlin pharmacy staff are increasingly having to find alternative drugs to those doctors are prescribed in order to help their patients. an aluminum. there for me at so basically we have a lot more work to do to supply the population with medicine so far it still somehow found a solution for people, but we often have to improvise. so sometimes we release another active ingredient more strongly than was prescribed and being had to adjust the dosage, wanted even simple treatments to treat coughs. and colds are harder to come by. and i, i would have preferred a cough syrup, but the pharmacist offered it to me in tablet or that's okay. the most important thing is it helps the same active ingredient is in it. sam sat side of the problem is not just affecting simple painkillers and antibiotics across the continent. the

european medicines agency says currently 13 key drugs are in short supply to offer fighting off prices and help combat the symptoms of coven, another 2. but to help patients who had a heart attack or stroke among the remainder or drugs, the fight leukemia diabetes. and to prevent the rejection of transplants, one of germany's leading oncologists told me why he believes this is happening. a major problem is that most production sides are not close to us, so they're not and you have anymore, but they're like an india and china was a ship or 2. it makes a very complex supply chain, not only and providing the basic product puzzles to get it. so you get it. the solution was a new and thus souping, comp commission has decided to give incentives for protection. so in you of what that takes decades. right.
