ah hello, and welcome to the news. the infrastructure and keys could collapse at any moment as authorities that struggle to contend with russian missile attacks. and freezing winter temperatures. this is the bleak warning from the mayor of the ukrainian capital further east. russia is also continuing its assault on back met the city in the east. and don bass region is a key target for the kremlin before christmas and ukrainian president. rodney zalinski said the airy had been reduced to burnt ruins, but the basso for back much rage is on al jazeera is charles traffic reports. now from back much help people enjoy the shilling and destruction defies belief. roshan artillery has almost completely destroyed the

town of bar mood, most of the 70000 people who lived to have fled. it's even rare to see ukrainian soldiers in the open, exposed showing on the streets. oh, my cousin problem was captain mac doctor, sir, when we talk about the direction of back looting. so selling your frontal, we're talking about the whole front line where they're trying to get into the city from every direction of them, from the north, from the east and the south. are the intensification, the shelling of back moot is obvious. russian forces are about a kilometer in that direction. the ukrainian military is scared now. that because wasn't forces of made such great gains around solid are in the north, they're now trying to completely in circle the city. as we walk back up the street

more rounds, explode, close. oh, we begin filming, and 2 more come in around a 100 yards away. the city we run for cover skin here. our camera on the call dashboard captured the moment 2 of what's believe to have been a 120 millimeter motors slammed into a residential building across the street. the force, the blast broke to win screw. it's a similar story on the other side of town. ukrainian army, a moving to push back

a russian advance from the southeast of colon of the situation is what, what is all around act met with information. the rational says sent frame horseman towards the city on the bus. one to 2, missouri was customers ukrainian artillery funds from nearby feels a can supply for the day, just offered out a 0 will the armies of russia and batteries have started 2 weeks in the joint military exercises. similar drills have happened before, but this time it's different about russian defense. mystery says that the exercises aren't quote, defensive. some alice, so are wanting. russia is trying to pressure it's closest ally to join the war. ali hash him reports on this now from laska. this is not the 1st minute to drill between bella was sound russia. there have been many ones before. however,

this is the 1st time in 2 years that both countries are conducting err. yeah, limited. now the coming 15 days more stuff better uses a portable, if you're out of ports, are going to be busy. with these drifts moscow's insisting these are defensive drugs. they're technically meant for operational compatibility. as far better. who's the defense ministry issued a statement saying that drugs would focus on supplies. and catherine, how about afford to take these roads into a why that respect that perspective rather take into consideration rather than vladimir putin visit to a better who's last month is meeting with president luke. i shook up them agreeing . odd, providing the better was fi. looks with training in order to be able to man across the board that are provided with unconventional ruffles. and this is very

significant. this was very significant at the time. now, there are many concerns that were all shy, strained to push it better, was a gradually towards taking part in the war. in ukraine. however, the russians are denying, they've denied this repeatedly, insisting that all kinds of corporation, military cooperation, between them on the better side is part of the strategic relation between the 2 countries. al jazeera natasha bought a reports now from keys on the reaction in ukraine. is clearly a loss of concern in kiva over these exercises, what, what, whatever activity happens on the board. therein. fuller, belarus in terms of military activity is a worry for authorities in ukraine. now what we know is better says that it's been carrying out a number of military exercises over the past few weeks that it started apparently,

these aviation exercises they are supposed to last or 2 weeks. and even though the a better person, defense minister says these are just defensive exercises. well, you know, keeps not having any of that. because as far as they are concerned, they have to be as cautious and careful as possible, which is why ukraine's present volota me. so lensky has said that old board guards must be alert, ukrainian forces of building extra fortifications along that border because it was on the bell of russian territory. in for every 2022 thirds of russia launched its invasion, even if true from. but of ruth will not directly involved in this or not argue involved in this conflict or ukrainian authority, say there is little hope of finding any one else alive in the rubble of a new pro apartment block hit by russian missiles. at least 40 people are confirmed to have been killed in the attack, but dozens more. i'm missing. ukraine says the civilian deaths,

which it describes is terrorism. why it needs more weapons? russia has denied targeting residential buildings. meanwhile, germany's defense minister has resigned as the country faces pressure to step up its military support for ukraine, christine lumber. except the media's focus, i was getting in the way of a factual debate about germany's defense preparedness. the german chancellor allow shawls says he'll swiftly replace her. dominic kane has more in this now from berlin. the government here in berlin is run by 3 parties. social democrats are in charge. there are 2 others. so getting a serious policy change through that government is more difficult than it would be in other circumstances, all of which points to what seemed likely to be a sort of stable handover as it were, a transition from one minister to another. but it's clear that whoever is nominated, so to succeed, christine limelight has to get across a wide, brief,

very quickly. there are important meetings coming up in the next few days. certainly, the united states defense minister, her secretary rather will be in berlin to meet whoever that successor is on their, on they so counsels and that sort of thing. so lots of things that, that person has to get across. and then the central theme for many people in germany is, what will that person do with the german military? because there are all sorts of requests coming in from different places. notably from helsinki and from warsaw by the respective governments, there can they provide german sourced weapons systems to ukraine. also questions for this particular person to answer. but the short version would be, we should not expect a huge change when whoever it is does take the defense ministry tomorrow. we're looking at germany overall role in this country has committed around 2 and a half $1000000000.00 in military aid to ukraine. it began by providing basic

equipment like helmets and is now delivering heavy weapons, including rocket launches, anti aircraft, guns, and ad defense systems. that both production capacity and political tensions have slowed at germany's military support ukraine. varying escalation with russia. berlin has been hesitant to assume a leadership position in europe. response to the war. jeremy's recently come under pressure from allies to allow the use of german built lap at battle tanks. allan and finland are said they would like to send them. but that requires berlin's permission. paula's prime minister on monday, a germany to step up its support and called on allow shots as government to provide ukraine with the weaponry it needed to join me live now as political analyst at jessica berlin. can i start by asking you about the perspective or thinking regarding the ukraine war? do you sense that the, the government in germany has shifted its position

a little bit? unfortunately not from the beginning of the full scale invasion of russia, ukraine, the shots government's response has really been highlighted by a lack of clear strategy that has also been not clearly communicated. the government has struggled to identify what really is it's goal to achieve in its support of ukraine. for a long time this government struggled to even articulate that ukraine clearly should win, and russia should lose the war. on this has been going on for a good 1011 months. as your opening remarks mentioned, germany support to ukraine started with the offer of helmets, which was roundly criticized as almost an insulting offer in face of what kind of threat ukraine was facing. so there's not so much a shift in the german communication or strategy because the german response over

this past almost a year now has been mostly marked by a lack of clear strategy. are they going to provide more support this year? they definitely will. but again, not because of a german pro act as defining of goals and then implementation of strategies to achieve them. but rather, following from 2022, what we've seen is basically a series of about faces where the shorts government has said what they would not to like deliver heavy weapons. and then under the face of a lot of international pressure, especially by our european and american allies, then about facing and saying yes, we will in fact, send heavy weapons. so the good news is germany has been coming around, step by step, and now has been, i think, the 3rd, or 4th largest donor in real terms of support to ukraine. but the concern is for a country that is the largest in europe,

and also the 4th largest weapons manufacturer worldwide. we could and should really be delivering more. and that's where the concern from germany's allies is coming from. so the position will change, they will go one step further by providing heavy weapons, battle tanks and so on. but it won't be because a because their view of the conflict has changed. so on the one hand, they will be providing ukraine with more military support. but that doesn't change a position of wanting to try and bring about some sort of negotiation or settlement with russia. more or less the charles government has repeatedly over these past 6 months, in particular, in the lead up to the fall offensive. when the calls for germany to deliver leopards became quite loud. olaf schultz was giving 2 primary excuses. number one, he said, germany does not want to go it alone. and any,

a new decision about new hardware to be sent to ukraine must be determined in consensus with our allies, which makes good sense. but the issue was that from the americans, as well as from other european natal partners, the clear message was coming from all sides. germany, you have a lot of leopards, please go ahead. we want you to, to this, you're not going it alone. the 2nd excuse that was primarily put forward was that to deliver main battle tanks and b t's would be as somehow seen by russia as an escalation that could draw germany into the conflict. but this was rather an illogical excuse when you consider that the united states was sending high mars germany had already supplied air defense systems and gay part of the lights tanks and anti aircraft systems. i'm now martyrs have been committed. so where is really the line on right now? basically, the ada cars asking jessica quickly has really did see his overwhelming sort of

public support in europe and in many western countries that ukraine, when the war started. there are some questions now about whether that same level of support exists, whether it might have diminished in light of higher energy prices and so on. what to recent opinion polls suggest about whether or not the majority of gym is are in favor of supplying heavy weaponry to ukraine. a clear majority of germans are still in support of german support for ukraine. and interestingly, throughout the last fall, when the fears for the energy crisis through winter were highest, there was also clear support that even if energy prices should go up, i'd the, i think it was around 70 percent of germans were saying we should still support ukraine. now those numbers have started to dwindle, and interestingly not because of energy prices, because as we know, it's been a rather mild winter here in europe this year. but unfortunately,

it seems that the lack of clear communication and the lack of strategic guidance from the german government has also started to have an impact on german public opinion. and the many unfortunate scandals and bluffing and misstatements and missteps of the german defense minister who has now resigned certainly did not help with the public discourse here. thank you very much, jessica balin, for joining us in here with the news ally from london or is much more to bring his tell. i were looking at growing concerned and became fossa, the 50 women kid not by gunman in the northern province of soon child begins for 5 men charged with negligence over their rolls. and one of the walls was stadium disasters. and it's for a record breaking effort and the nfl playoffs. andes, here with that story

ah, rescuing recovery work as continuing at the sight of a plane crash in a pulse terrorist town of pic kara, the yeti outlines at cross went down on sunday. bodies of 70 of the 72 people on board have been retrieved on yet limbo has the details. this is the site where a yeti airlines flight carrying 72 people crushed in the nepalese tourist town of booker. a search and recovery team worked through the day monday to retrieve bodies from deep within an arrow gorge. the plane took off from cut men do less than an hour later, it came down near its destination. the newly opened booker international airport. it narrowly missed homes on either side of the city gorge and river, which runs through the town. it's tragic but we lost some still people on board the plan, but if it had crushed

a couple of filters on either side my we would have lost many more. an army and police recovery team has worked to retrieve bodies and identified personal belongings found in the wreckage. the plague was carrying 57 nepalese and 15 foreign nationals flying in the palace challenging as the country is surrounded by mountains and difficult terrain. in the past, the country has witnessed, numerous crushes early in the day. a search and recovery team retrieve the black box of the ill fated, yet he airlines flight experts hope it will provide answers to the tragedy. tensions run high as families and relatives outside a hospital wait to claim their loved ones. the brother in law of this indian businessman was on the plate changes while had traveled to the town to see his older sister who had just had a baby died. and would like to do the last right soon. but there was a lot of process and red tape involved is frustrating. i'm waiting for a hospital staff try to placate distressed family members,

but they'll have to wait at least another day before they can leave their loved ones to rest. probably at the liberal, al, jazeera it booker their pal. oh, we turn now 2 developments and became a fast. so the government says that god men have abducted around 50 women in the northern province of soon an area that's been under blockade effectively by groups linked to al qaeda. and the islamic state, women were seized around 12 kilometers, se of our bender on thursday. and in another district, north of the town, on friday since 2015, the landlord, west african country, has been in the grips of an armed rebellion which swept across the border from neighboring marley. thousands of people have been killed while more than 2 point. 7000000 have been displaced and forced to live in makeshift camps. the one human rights she vulgar turks said. he was alarmed that dozens of women who went out to search for food for their families were then abducted in broad daylight. what could

be the 1st such attack? deliberately targeting women in beginner fasa is called for their unconditional release for the perpetrators to be held to account. so earlier i spoke to save my ganga or the africa spokesperson for the united nations human rights office about what's been happening in northern became foster. scanty information about what us up into these ladies. one of the things we know for sure from is that they said to our to go and find some food. it's a very difficult situation. the moment the region is located by groups and they've been pretty much cut off from the rest of the country. they sit down to go and find what they get for food and why wild foods, because they can't get any really good food. only for them to be dr. done taken away, we did not know the stage flip being held and the un mission for human rights use, very concerned about their safety and wellbeing. there's been some civilians before

there's been lots of killing and a lot of damage to infrastructure displacement of civilians. but we haven't seen, at least since the situation has detergent, this level in the last few months. this is the 1st time we have seen remain deliberately targeted and this is something that is totally up to one condemned. a un representatives in touch with authorities in walking to the yes indeed, we have a presence in the country and we are always in touch with them according to coordinating with them and monitoring the situation to make sure that a respect in the country. but a must add here that due to the blockade off, that's more than passing the sale. it has been very difficult for us to gain access

and to be able to monitor and verify developments that obviously you have a presence in the country. you are working with the state, but the state only controls about 50 percent of its own territory because these are groups have been very effective and taking control and blockading entire regions and areas. does all this suggest that it's going to be very difficult to defeat the military? maybe a political solution is what is needed and that's what we advocate of the united nations. this will need national and international court, the national national community together with the national authorities in booking, also to work together to plan to bring returns to billy to tool to the north of the country. i don't argue with the point the situation is really difficult, but at the end of the day, what it takes is finding a way to bring people to the negotiating table. i'm to find

a consensus and i think that must come with the members to, to sell book in a fossil saying, look, this is how would lead to solve this problem diplomatically and reaching out to the united nations for any assistance that can be provided. somalia says it's military as we taken a town from the on group ownership. bob. it captured her idea coastal area that was under our she bob's control for the past 15 years. government launched offensive against the group in august, somali forces they've killed hundreds of fighters since then. catherine toys monitoring situation from non yuki in neighboring, kenya. we have been hearing all this information from the government forces, and we are also the government either being helped with by militia cline militia that have really been helpful in helping fight alta. bob. so

a ukraine in civilian people. it's so bored, crime and international court of international criminal court is already dealing with the ration. the worker i am said investigated. but i would say is, this is a tactic because i cannot win or on the battlefield. they are now terrorizing a civilians. you say the international criminal court is looking at this. there are kohls now for not just the international criminal court, but for a special tribunal to deal with this, an international tribunal. some countries i believe yours is one of them, a calling for this to be set up. tell us why and how likely it is to happen. international criminal court is, are committed to deal ways or concrete award. crimes likes is a bombardment of nipple, but her, her, the source of for that war is the start of aggressive war against

a sovereign country. and this is the greatest violation of international law and a grave installation of international peace order. or which was said to by united nations charter 1945. and i fought with a crime, crime of aggression as there is no international court of currently, which are good, a deal with this issue. and therefore this is a proposal. latvia is there supporting, of course this to create a special tribunal of her ration aggression against ukraine. we have already some examples, for example, a special tribunal for yugoslavia. and it was for 20, if say, have dealt with earl crimes of,

of her said be, and yoga slab leaders and her i think this is her good example how it is possible to create a special court. and now it's clear we need sasha such as special court for russia, but there are those with reservations there. important people, for example, the prosecutor of the international criminal court. korean con, says he's not convinced by this idea. and perhaps even more importantly, the us hasn't yet said that impacts are sort of this sort of idea. it's not going to happen unless joe biden says yes, is it? as a result for the b? is that a international court, or should be responsible to deal with this? could i'm of aggression if it is a international criminal court, fine. but if it is not, and it seems that it would not be possible to bring this issue before with international criminal court. i mean, not a individual work of arms,

but that could i am of aggression than it is necessary to create a special court. and do you think that could happen this year? i think there is a process of, for considering of, for thinking about that it is a process and i am optimistic over the past 2 years. the world's richest one percent have accumulated nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the wild. particular as, according to a report by og sam, published on the opening day of the world. economic forum and divorce shows the super rich mast almost 2 thirds of the $42.00 trillion dollars worth of new wealth created since 2020. that equates to $26.00 trillion dollars. meanwhile, extreme poverty around the world is increasing and high cost of living and inflation and making the disparity worse. food is now on affordable for many people with roughly 100000000 people going hungry. or sam is calling for higher taxes for
