hello there, i'm laura kyle. this is the news our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. russian forces face stiff resistance from the ukrainians in the battle for back much. we report from the front lines. russia policies are about a kilometer in that direction. and of also, the european commission president tells al jazeera the world must hold russia accountable for the war in ukraine. russia cannot get away with letters has done to the ukrainian people. long keys was subsidized. wheat flour in pakistan as an economic crisis pushes up prices, promotions in the pool for victims of sundays, plane crash, and 3rd cruise look for the last missing passenger. and his for novak deckervidge has made when he returned to the australian open year after being i said this to

survive to and melted. hm. we begin on the front lines in easton ukraine, where russia is intensifying. attacks on the city of back much present thought amid zalinski says there is no place that is not covered with blood. moscow is trying to secure a rare victory in the don boss region after months of fighting shall strap it is that we hearing a lot of heavy shelling. as you can imagine, i'm showing that it's increased in recent days. interestingly, to put a timeline on it, or you can say that a lot of this fighting has actually increased since we saw ross and forces make gains in and around the town of solid are, which is north of back, moot in that direction. we understand now according to ukrainian, the ukrainian 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 cut ashika, which is to the southeast of here, is also getting heavily shell. does a lot of heavy, heavy fighting being heard there. we've seen smoke rising. some of the frosts we speculate could well have been asked strikes interestingly in the last 10 minutes or so. we've seen certainly what the ukranian military tell us will ukrainian jets in this area. i was 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. i'm of course trying to avoid friendly fire, but it's the 1st time that we've seen jets in this area. we were in bach moot yesterday, the scenes of also 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 oldest. so you can imagine in these kind of conditions, these winter temperatures, how difficult that is. there was a lot of heavy shelling of the center of the city as well as on the outskirts we've seen caught a lot of injured brute brought in to this point over the last few hours. this is injured. ukrainian soldiers, they basically made a vax out of back moot, and some of the surrounding towns brought to ambulances here and a console hospitals back from the front line. as i 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 po, box miskin up and looked up to say when we talk about the direction of battle mode . 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 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 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. which a similar story on the other side of rain in army a moving to push back a russian evolved se, another of colon of the situation is quite intense. all a robert. we have information that the russians have sent reinforcements toward the

city, but wanted to know that it was possible ukrainian artillery funds from nearby feels the bottles of osmond is intensified for the day. charged offered al jazeera, bustled, ukraine's 1st lazy alina zalinski has been addressing this is world economic forum in divorce. she is one of many will be does meeting in switzerland, where the ongoing war as well as the state of the world's economy, our topics up for discussion, system or glue. what will happen to inflation when state board is start to collapse in the integrity of countries is trampled on by those who want it. how can the world combat climate change if it hasn't even stocked the burning of entire cities and ukraine? this is what rusher is doing with its artillery, with its missiles, 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. the done on the president of the european commission also addressed the forum, our diplomatic as sir james bass, spoke with us of wonderland. shortly afterwards, he started by asking what she thought would happen when the wolf 1st started. the i'll hoped that russia would be reasonable and not do with this invasion because we had prepared massive sanctions. and we couldn't imagine that you destroy your own 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 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 are 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 am. 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 as 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 as 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 this. we don't need to have a special truck. well, 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 counts. 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. the main problem with the special tribunal be that just like amex, 17 of the trial into the downing of that plane in 2014 russia, one corporate, 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 quote him, 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. um the price he has to pay and with the 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 successful and withstanding this brutal aggression a for decades, a russian economy is wound and in regression. so it is a question of the russian people to decide on whether they want to go on like this . the next 3 years we'll see the russian army undergo a major overhaul countries. defense minister announced the timeline as he vista troops on that front line. so okay, so again, thank service men and presented them with awards at the headquarters in val stuck as k, like not to ali hash m in moscow for all the latest developments a little bit more about what changes russia has planning to make well, according to the russian defense minister there is going to be a drastic change in the army between 202312026. this is going to be

a plan to 1st of all, those the number of soldiers to 1500000 and also create 2 new districts. the more school district and validity, broad district, besides enhancing different turned off the a minute to the ground forces aerospace and navy. so it's mainly kind of free boosting their army. this is kind of, if we want to take it into context for why the front that started with the beginning of this year, we can take it back to the war with that, with the launch of the water, ukraine. everything became, became miniaturized in, in russia. and as of we just heard from the huge a chief to just do, put him to the president of russia lathering for think this is not becoming an existential water. so it's just mainly about the existence. and that's why he is tackling economy from the angle off off military he's, he's

a stuck in politics from the military. i go to i'm also today, when was speaker brought him improved. thing was speaking to a group of, we caught him, his son, and i insisted that the economy is doing very well. it's doing better than predicted. and he also added that whatever, there were risks he was able, all the, the government was able to tackle under our new opportunities that were open because of the new situation. so this is what the russian resident has has said to dad. it's the same thing that he's been saying for the past weeks that the economy wasn't shaken to the out to the amount that was expected in the past. everyone was expecting the russian economy to fall to go through prices. the president here to saying, no, this is not happening on whatever was predicted, isn't really happening. i asked how much on his life from mosque i, thanks very much. ali and ukraine has cooled off such a rescue operations at b apartment block in the central city of denise pray. 44 people tied and the

russian missiles strike united nations. human rights commission says more than 7000 civilians have been killed in ukraine since the start of the war. sasha butler 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 u. n. 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, but there is no doubt in the minds of ukrainians that this is the work of a russian forces. what 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 pro was absolutely destroyed after 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 mayor of denise 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 western powers. starting to say what happened and denise pro was a war crime. as 20 more still had her almost new sour, including fears of a demographic crisis, china's population declines for the 1st time and 60 years. plus see king justice,

families and indonesia want answers. often $200.00 children die from contaminated medicine under the sport. tom brady's anna fall season comes to an well he play again. play on or retire again. ah. in pakistan inflation has led to a deepening furred crisis. the price of wheat has sky rock, says the crane war, destructive supply chains, which are a gate and be reports. these low income workers in islamabad, scramble to buy a bag of government subsidized flour. inflation disproportionately affects the poorest and society because pakistan, many is struggling with the rising cost of living while goes out. it's been hugely difficult to live on our earnings. i'm a daily laborer. i have to queue up for up to 3 hours to purchase subsidized. slog

with the regular prices are unaffordable. soaring inflation is just one challenge. pakistan is also facing a foreign exchange crisis. these importers are protesting outside a bank about a shortage of dollars. they can't get credit to pay for the goods. they're importing. it means thousands of containers packed with essential food items, raw materials and medical equipment. a stock of the port in karachi, the guidelines em regard, le be demand. the government immediately provide dollars so that we can get our consignment released from the port and prevent huge losses in shipping future importers. if been in the business for 35 years, say they've never seen at this bad weather bug obese. got more, you did, maybe a barely 25 days of stock left. if the dollars are not released immediately, they'll be an immense shortage of grain during ramadan. meaning for the hardship patty, stan is still recovering from last year's historic flooding. at its peak,

more than one 3rd of the country was under water. at the $1700.00 people died and damages are estimated at nearly $40000000000.00. last week, the united arab emirates agree to defer the repayment of a $2000000000.00 loan and provide an extra $1000000000.00. but with the national debt running at nearly 90 percent of g d p pakistan is appealing for more help from the global community. victoria gate and be al jazeera ok, a mile hider is in islamabad now with more just a few years ago, pakistan war surplus and we android. busy exporting the commodity, this country rang said the 7 tired read, producer and award followed by ukraine. but if you look at the situation on the ground that are long queued because the country is facing severe shortage of wheat . this of course, constitute for 70 percent of the caloric ral you intake and

a poor capita consumption and bugger st on is a $124.00 kilo spoke percent per year. which means that the countries barely capable of meeting its own requirements. add to that climate change and the effects of the devastating floods budget on now has to import wheat and because of the ball performance of successive regimes, there are hardly any storage capacity gauge or proper facilities. we've been able to see was warranties of weight rocking out in the open. i know ok being taken to preserve what is now considered to be a lot strategic resolve. the people of august on have already been suffering from the effects of hyper inflation. since the new government go forward and there's some abad door by total your time and i will buy sort of a 15 k g bag of flour costs about $27.00. and here it is placed at $16.00. we have

to stand in long queues from morning until the evening, the government, and sometimes we don't go to work, but we cannot afford to buy the expensive flow at the current market price. and right now you can see cues waiting outside to get some cheap weight so that they can support their livelihoods and their families. it is putting a big strain on the ball and the government and power much space, he'd in order to alleviate their suffering. let's take a closer look now at the st of pat starns economy. in december inflation, rows 24.5 percent compared to the previous month, driven by high food and fuel prices. foreign exchange reserves plunged to $4300000000.00, which covers less than 3 months of imports. on top of that, the government needs to raise more than 26000000000 dollars this year to repay foreign debts. shark one is an economist at the university of oxford boulevard next school of government. they joins us now from london. good to have you with us. why

is pakistan in such a terrible economic situation? thank you for having me. fun to mentally buckets on squared model bucks to come in . the model is simply unsustainable. i think sustainable because it's constrained by it's a bio recurring balance or payment prices. so the way common growth in bucks and functions is that it's driven by consumption, which is largely important. so whenever there's about 3 percent of g to be growth, it leads to a balance of payment prices because the country imports a lot and is unable to service. it's important because it doesn't have an export capacity. so because of that inability to build productive exportable capacity and be able to compete globally, it ends up in this recurring prices. so this is why the country has gone into over 20 years programs and the current crisis fundamentally is a consequence of the deep,

the structural constrained to its economy. now that's of course structure. reason which is a long running wrong, wrong, long run and call to fix crisis. but there of course there are some specific issues here to example. first is the fact that there is an argument program there, a governance issues which came out of a particular last year because there was an eye in the program that being some decisions made, which has been real funds program, particularly the fuel subsidies given earlier last year. and more recently, the intervention in the market exchange rate, both of which have stolen their funds program and has sort of further fade into the crisis. and then the other sort of cause which is compounding the crisis is the flood which your report just mentions and the devastation it has made particular to crops feeding into a cost of living crisis and urban areas which was already there before the flux, but has been worse and because of it. and the 3rd is of course, the global environment global inflation. the fed rate has increased interest rates

. i've been going up. i multiple developing countries like pockets on going through similar balance of payment prices and debt quite. which makes it much harder for pockets on to reeves capital globally and to receive the kind of funding that attract attention needs to survive the crisis. absolutely. so it has been turning to friendly countries asking for help. is it guessing that it? it's been very, very slow. it is getting some indications now, particularly from the united nerve, amber, it's the key stumbling block. the bucket is the program because not only because the funds, the i m f related itself, but also the indication it gets to the broader market and bilateral partners, but pockets on is going to undertake some reformers, lawyers to try to fix this sort of structure constrain its economy and without that indication to the market, it's very hard for the government to go around in raising sort of bilateral support

. so because of that, that fund a mental constrain and that sort of comes back to our defense relationship with the special wanting to fund and the condition the fund is i think market on whether that's around the budget deficits, the trade deficit or the reforms that have sort of long greeted for buckets on and the government's either inability or lack of desire to undertake that that has been sort of the key constraint here. and the consequence of the sports getting is not adequate the current moment to to but the crisis and what we're back on that thing . some 90 percent of its g d. p. m is caught in a real debt trap, isn't it? it seems that only debt relief is going to help it improve the situation. but is that talk of that? so back on because it's the way it's instructors economy. basically borrows money to import could borrow money from the world to buy stuff from the world because it

doesn't export enough. because about it's one of the so call reasons why that ratio has sort of so drastically increased over the past few decades. it, there isn't a lot of talk around debt relief. there's some talk about that, that restructuring. it clears a lot of no indication, at least among independent experts, but probably restructuring this year is necessary. and but the government hasn't indicated that that's the route and wants to go to that. it is better for it to do so it fell rather than to go to moment, very unable to service. and that there's also an important indication had much markets on debt is sovereign debt. so it's ode to other countries like for the radio or china instead of the commercial that. so it's much easier to roll it over to negotiate later. payments deferred the payments, read that it is bit commercial. that's so that makes it so much easier to manage, but it's still living on the origins, but it's still living under factory for

a time until the generosity of our lives that have run out. and so to as, as people chart 11, a very interesting indeed speak to you. thanks taken and i'm showing that from london. thank you. now trying to population her decline for the 1st time in 60 years. economists a warning of a demographic crisis with the country not being able to support its rapidly aging population. katrina, you reports from shanghai county and northern china. dow tuning has lived in vital one village his whole life. he says the streets here, quiet as they used to be. most young people have moved to beijing, 65 kilometers away. the loaner liberal. there are more and more old people now to made it all people in this bill. it was early, 5 passed away recently due to the cove it through over 80 years old. the situation is similar in many parts of china, where increasingly,

debts are outstripping births. the population shrunk 585-0000 people in 2022. it's the 1st decline since 1961, a year of great famine in china. economist say strict corona virus measures in poorest until late last year. accelerated looming, demographic crisis, or the pandemic has been the biggest the constraint for people's family planning in the past 3 years. and a lot of chinese people believe that the vaccination would be bad for fertility. so many families have been postponing. and when it comes to the economic prussia, it was even bigger problem for urban residence. as the government abandoned, it's one child policy in 2016 and now allows families to have up to 3 children, but many are unwilling sighting soaring housing prices and education fees. meanwhile, china's work force, a key driver of economic growth is rapidly aging. analysts predict the elderly will

make up one 3rd of the population by 2050 in by dell one. most of the residents are retired. the cost of living in villages like this is far less than the biggest city, the locals tell us the problem is being able to find a stable income. many of the young people who born here, hadn't forced to leave in order to secure a job. job tuning says he understands he and his wife have no children, but still struggle to make ends meet for many here, living day to day having to support a large family has little appeal. katrina, you al jazeera, by del, on shank, her county china. david, my hon. as political economist and founder of my own china, he says the chinese government needs to bring in more incentives for people to have more children the full in the population. and particularly also particular cohorts

of looking at edge is potentially an issue. and it's always been a challenge to the chinese government. i don't think it is the economic barrier that people are casting it as being. and the idea that you incentivize people to have more children where the sum of money, which is being experimented with in some areas, it's not really the answer. the answer is to make education more affordable and less stressful. the answer also is to look at the cost of living for young families . and those things are a critical in terms of bringing an incentive to families to actually have more children. but on the big picture, we don't want china to have a whole lot more people. if anything, the population of china and for that matter, india, it is better that they reduce in the right of the growth. and it's, it's very helpful for actually pleasure. i also think the other challenge is that people talk about, which is there was a diminishing workforce. that's actually not the case. i'm at the moment. there are

plenty of people seeking work um, and of anything for young graduates and younger fam people that are starting families. there was a struggle in some places to find jobs. so i think china with its way through this incident of into, into interventionist government. oh said the source, the thing of immigration chatted, borders in where i am in unit province, which is on the border of laos of it's accessible to cambodia, which was shipped with china and of course, oh, so vietnam and burma, my ama so these are great sources of labor in the future, all china has to do is just begin to look as they do find fewer workers between the agricultural and server sickness, they can begin to bring them in from other countries. so i had her on out to farrah surprise resignation by vietnam's president. tell you why. and the dog situation unfolding in ecuador is agencies say children are facing chronic mom, nutrition,

and sport rom, james puts in a season high school in performance of her. with that story, ah hi, there will start in south america and heavy rain has caused flooding and landslides in north western parts of columbia. we are expecting the heavy rain to continue here. the next few days is, is the missouri for brazil. we got warnings out with some intense thunderstorms and a system pulling in from the northeast. that's going to bring some heavy rain to the likes of the french, diana, 60 millimeters over 24 hours. so we could see some flooding here. those storms and showers stretch out towards coastal areas of brazil. it's going to be wet all through the week and weekend in rio de janeiro and things are going to turn a wet her across parts of argentina. it's been

a story or intense heat here. temperature peaking, right, but one of those is going to cool down and we will see those thunderstorms coming in by saturday. now, as we move to central america, it's largely quiet for much of mexico, lots of sunshine and settle conditions apart from the northwest corner. some fear storms rolling through and rain tricking downs from the south, edging into costa rica and panama. a training where the system as well could bring some showers to parts of hispaniola, but a relatively quiet picture here. as a move to north america, we are going to the a rush of severe storms intensify across the south. by the time we get to when say, bring a threat of flooding, ah, with

whole examining the head dying, how big a breakthrough is this story moment for all towers, research, unflinching journalism. i can see the part of the tree where 2 of the bullets there about my head, high sharing personal stories with a global audience. nature is so much more than income for the shareholders. it's in the library else. my people explore an abundance of world class programming on al jazeera lou.
