a timeline on it. or you can say that a lot of this fighting is actually increased since we saw ross and forces make gains in and around the town of solid, our, which is north of back, moot in that direction. we understand now, coatings ukrainian, the ukranian military, that russian forces are trying to win circle that city of buffalo. and interestingly, since we've been here this morning, the town of kelly schiffer which is to the southeast of it, is also getting heavily shell. there's a lot of heavy, heavy fighting being heard there. we've seen smoke rising. some of the blasts we speculate could well, i've been asked strikes interestingly in the last 10 minutes or so. we've seen certainly what the ukrainian military tell us will ukrainian jets in this area. they were still throwing out those flags that chaff time to try and deter any kind of heat seeking weapon that went after it. that was aimed at it. we understand that that is just a precautionary measure that the ukrainians take. um, of course,

trying to avoid a friendly fire when it's the 1st time that we've seen jets in this area. we were in bar mood yesterday, the scenes of offset destruction. they're a terrible situation for the estimated 2000 or so civilians still. they're refusing to leave mostly the elderly in the firm saying that they've got no where to go. that the town has had no running water since october, no electricity since august. so you can imagine in these kind of conditions, these winter temperatures, how difficult that is. there was a lot, a heavy shelling of the center of the city as well as on the outskirts we've seen caught a lot of injured brill brought in to this point over the last few hours. this is injured. ukrainian soldiers, they basically made a vax out of back moat and some of the surrounding towns brought to ambulance is here and taken to hospitals back from the front line. let us say we were in buffalo

yesterday, and this is our report. how people enjoy the shilling and destruction defies. belief. russian artillery has almost completely destroyed the town of but not most of the 70000 people who lived here have fled. it's even rare to see ukrainian soldiers in the open exposed to shelling on the streets. oh, my cousin pro bach miskin up and looked up the door. sir, when we talk about the direction of battle mountain. so selling your frontal, we're talking about the whole front line where they're trying to get into the city from every direction, from, 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 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 walked back up the street more rounds explode, close by we begin filming, and to more come in around a 100 yards away. the city we run for cover skidding here. our camera on the col 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 of the blast broke the windscreen.

it's a similar story on the other side of frayne. an army a moving to push back a russian evolved se, another and of colon of the situation is quite intense, all aerobic moat. we have information that the russians have sent reinforcements to war. the city on the bottle tow mazata was customers ukraine. an artillery fires from nearby feels the bottles, the basement is intensifying by the day charged offered al jazeera, bottled ukraine's 1st lady alina zalinski, has been addressing this year's world economic forum and doubles. she's one of many dignitaries meeting in switzerland with the ongoing war in as well as the state of the world's economy, of the topics up for discussion. this unlikely, what will happen to inflation when state board is dot to collapse in the integrity

of countries is trampled on by those who wanted. how can the world combat climate change if it hasn't even stopped the burning of entire cities and ukraine? this is what russia is doing with it, that hillary with its miss isles, with its iranian drones. it is and you know, the russian aggression was never intended to restrict itself to the ukrainian borders. this war could go further. is it done? the president of the european commission also addressed the forum and of all say, the courage of the ukrainian people has inspired the world. are diplomatic editor, james bass has just been speaking to her. well, obviously the lead a political item in the world is the war in ukraine. so it's no surprise that the world economic forum here double started off with ukraine. the 1st lady of ukraine gave an address to the politicians, the business leaders, the millionaires and billionaires and said, you all have great influence, but you're not all using that influence. and then we heard from the president of

the european commission, ursula on the line, or who praised the resilience of the ukrainian people after almost 11 months of war and said they'd succeeded against the odds. well, president, on the line joins me now. we last spoke at the munich security conference that was just days before the war almost a year ago. be honest. what were you thinking at the time? did you think that ukraine would be able to survive the might of the russian military? or did you think keith would fall in days? so at that time we'll, i'll hoped that russia would be reasonable and, and not do with his invasion because we had prepared massive sanctions. and we couldn't imagine that you'll destroy on country russia by doing this invasion? well, it came differently as we know, and i must say the world is really impressed by the courage and at the stamina of the ukrainian people. and they have been an amazing, amazing throughout this year. now, right now, the latest phase of this war,

the last 3 months, has been very much a focus on the civilian infrastructure, bombarding the russians and bombarding civilians. i know you believe these a war crimes. there's this idea of a special tribunal to bring accountability. what do you make of that idea and how exactly would it work? well, i think this is, these are so atrocious war crimes that we witness. and that indeed it might call for special tribunal. and this shows that this is an extraordinary situation. and that it really needs a strong reaction of the global community. because this is, sir, not only a fight for his ukraine, of survival and of defending at serenity in territory. but it's also fired of democracy against autocracy. and for the respect for the international law, and therefore are we think this needs a special tribunal? there are others who are not on board with the idea of

a special tribunal. i'm not sure present. biden's yet been convinced, but also you have the international criminal court and the key figure there is the prosecutor cream car and he says, no, my court can deal with us. we don't need to have a special truck. while i think important is that there's a strong reaction on these war crimes, and i think we have to discuss it, we have to sorted out. and the result count. russia cannot get away with what it has done to the ukrainian people and what we've seen. and therefore there needs to be a very clear, strong reaction and condemnation of the international community. wouldn't the main problem with the special tribunal be that just like amex, 17, and the trial into the downing of that plane in 2014 russia won't cooperate. it won't hand over the suspects. and the only way you'll ever get justice is if there is regime change in russia. so is that now the policy of the, you, the end of putin, the end of the regime? that is something that the russian, people have to decide on what we're doing. we're showing very clearly to president

putin and the price he has to he and we said in advance before the war started, the costs will be massive. his economy is crippled by the sanctions. ah, he is completely isolated. ah, we see that is the ukrainians are amazingly courageous and so successful and withstanding this brutal aggression a for decades, a russian economy is wound and in regression. so it is a crash of that russian people to decide on whether they want to go on like this. you been to keep several times since the war started. and i know you're going again at the beginning of february, but it's going to be different visit because you're taking many of your european commissioners with you. how important is this visit in terms of ukraine's candid teacher to be a member of the european it is very important, or we want to send

a very strong message that we a support ukraine in all the different fights we have in n u m. aspect. and therefore, the whole college is coming. we sit down with the respect of government ministers and we're working on all these different files to do immediately. not only the investments to repair and relieve at the moment being and for reconstruction later on, but also to do immediately the right reforms to modernize the country and to pave the way into membership of the your opinions or give me an estimate. when could ukraine become any you member? this is always very hard to say because that varnish in their court and it depends . it's a married space for a process cell, but we do everything to support them to be as fast and as successful as possible. we heard from the cranium 1st lady, i was speaking to the mayor of keith earlier. they have the same message. they like what you've done, but they want more. they want more particularly militarily. so what more can you nations do? and as you know, there's a focus right now on tanks,

used to be germany's defense minister minister. and there's, there's a big demand that germany give tanks and give permission or to other countries that have german leopard 2 tanks to transfer them to ukraine. is it time for germany to act in your view? while you're also not as president of the european commission, we don't on any kind of military capability. so that's a field when we and cannot be active in. i have said since the beginning of the war that we should give to the ukrainian armed forces, the military equipment they need and they can handle. and, and also if these are advanced technologies, i have the same position still and em, i think there will be important discussions now in ramstein on the 20th of january . and i hope good decisions will be taken. let me ask you about the economic effects of war. i think many have been surprised by the way. europe has begun to win itself off russian oil and gas. but what is the effect on her?

i know ukraine is only part of this in the economic outlook for europe this year. do you fear that many of your member states are going to fall into recession? well, or last year in summer we are feared a heavy energy crisis. some even feared that we will have blackouts because indeed we were heavily dependent on russian fossil fuels. but we decided to get rid of this dependency and successfully, we've done so. are we have diversified away to a friends and a partners that are reliable. dikes like the united states, like norway, for example. we haven't parallel filled our storage is we have massively invested in renewable energy because it's hong grown. it gives us independence. we have doubled the deployment additional deployment of renewable energy. and we are now doing joint procurement for natural gas. all these steps have helped to bring the prices of natural gas down. actually since the peak in august last year,

we're now down by more than 80 percent with the gas price. this is good. the warm weather in the winter helps, but it's not the only factor. we're still not out of the woods, but a much more positive today than i was 6 months ago. president von the loan. thank you very much for joining us. on al jazeera of president of the european commission, the headline speaker today a doubles ross as president vladimir putin says. his country's economy performed better than expected. last year. speaking to top finance officials, he said rushes gross domestic product fell by 2.5 percent in 2022. better than the 4 percent predicted by some expos sanctions. in response to the war in ukraine have curbed rushes fuel exports and cut it off from global financial markets. in while russia's defense ministers visited troops involved in the ukraine, warm saga chicago, thank the service man and presented them with awards at the head mug quarters in voss stock. in december, he announced

a plan to increase the armed forces to 1500000 soldiers and create multiple new units. the minister plates to ensure a supplies were delivered to frontline soldiers and improve medical and logistics. eunice will as head to ali, hash m, lifeless. now, in moscow for more on this alley, we just heard ocean of on the line, they're saying that so russia's economy had been, been very badly damaged by this president. putin, obviously, painting a very different picture. was he been saying? but president newton was talking about the car and this is not the 1st time that he tackles this issue. he stressed once again that the economy is doing better than predicted and kind of expected that it will continue to be the same, especially with the russian emphasizing on the wall trans regional transcend local france in the economy a path. however, he also highlighted

a development in the defense complexes, the saying that they are gaining momentum since the beginning of the war. and some of them are walking around the clock and this will continue on the game more momentum with time. so this is what, what put in said today, and he said a few few days ago you also mentioned economy and said that it was doing better than them predicted. and that many thought that. busy russia will be hit with a less jobs with, with recession. however, this didn't happen and russia is doing good. so this is what, what to what to put in said in this regard. and especially with respect to the defense side, it seems that that is a lot of concentration and focus within the russian government on highlighting the importance of defense. and it's a centric role in the, in the future. yes. and was we were just mentioning the defense minister once again,

pledging to ensure supplies, deliver to frontline soldiers, and to improve frontline units, but also include increasing numbers as well. well yeah, the defense minister was talking about the new plan that's going to extend from 2023 till 2026. and as you said, it's going to see them on me being boosted to 1500000 soldiers besides in shaking or salting in, just to new districts, the most college district and the living god district and in the army. beside that, they're planning to boost the structural structural combination of the navy, the bronze forces, and the outer space forces. now, if we want to put this into context, you have to go back to the beginning of this year. the changes in the, in the army are pointing the commander of chief as a commander of the, what they call here in russia as

a special operation and in ukraine. so the emphasis is more on the, on me emphasis on changing the turning the tide. all the set, the setbacks that happened in the last year, they want to change it towards kind of a successes. and just a few minutes ago, we had this news about a new, a new, a campaigns launched on marine couches to the west of do next. this is another city just few days ago and as well as charles was talking a solid dot. another city also was attacked and the russians are saying that they are in full control. busy that trying to advance towards bohaman. so it's, it's kind of very, very centric, military defense and, and the war, this is right now what's kind of controlling the whole of russia, ali hush, lifers in moscow alley. thank you. german charge for all our shots has named bonus bestowed us as the country's new defense minister. he served as an interior

minister and the height of our region since 2013 christie lumber act resigned as a country face is pressure to increase its military support to ukraine. black has been accused of failing to modernize the army. she's also been blamed for the seas of what a critics have described as p r. mistakes the u. k. is urging germany to supply ukraine with leopard 2 tanks. london says balin will not be acting alone, as it's sending 14 battle times to keep poland and finland wants to donate some of their leper to tanks. but need berlin's permission. there's a debate in generally the moment whether a tank of an offensive weapon or defensive weapon, well depends what you're using it for. if you're using it to defend your country, i would wager that it is a defensive weapon system. secondly, we are not on our own. this is a joint international coalition, and i know they've been concerned to the german political body that they don't want to go alone. well, they're not alone. people in the center ukrainian city of nipple who have paid

tribute to the victims, killed the saturday's russian missile strike. they laid waste and placed candles of the restored apartment building. at least 40 people were killed. the mayor says there is little chance any more. survivors will be fine. united nations human rights commission and says more than 7000 civilians have been killed in ukraine since the start of the war, natasha bought a has more from keith. a real reminder of the impact of this war on ordinary people and the suffering that they are experiencing this un report saying that more than 7000 civilians in ukraine have been killed since the beginning of the war. many of them children and teenagers also more than 11000 people have been injured and some of those people of a life changing injuries. now what the un report says that these injuries and these deaths have been caused mainly by a weapons by artillery,

by shelling by air strikes. it doesn't attribute any blame or responsibility bots. there is no doubt in the minds of ukrainians that this is the work of a russian forces. war to moscow has said though, since the beginning of this war is that it's not targeting civilian infrastructure, it is not targeting a civilian population, but you know, the reality on the ground really does paint a very different picture indeed. and it was just on saturday that an apartment block in the central ukrainian city of denise bro, was absolutely destroyed off to a ballistic missile fight by russian forces slammed into it. so emergency workers have been looking under the rubble ever since to try and find survivors. the mer to meet pro says look, it's very unlikely. now that any more survivors will be found. but again, dozens of ordinary people killed. dozens of people injured and more and more people in ukraine, and some was some power starting to say what happened. and denise pro was

in the state. and the person tip to replace him is the president shaun folk. and not only has johnson for resigned, but he's also no longer a member of the politburo or the central committee of the communist party, essentially leaving him powerless. and the other thing we have to watch for is what sort of impact this will have on the stability of the government going forward and also on the confidence of foreign investors. seeing that these 3 men, the to devil upon this is andy, president yearns and folk were seen as very competent administrators, recovery teams in nepal as searching for the last missing passenger to some of these plane crash that killed at least $71.00 people that expanded the search area under using drones and the mountainous terrain authorities are begun, releasing the bodies of the victims to their families. rescuers to find the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder which could help determine the cause of the accident. that to be violent confrontations between protesters and the police since fall anchors capital columbo, hundreds of students were calling for the release of
