hello there, i'm laura kyle. this is the news, our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes brush and for says face stiff resistance from the ukrainians in the battle for back . but we report from the front lines. are you in the military is scared now with the coast washing forces of might such great gains around solid or in the north than elsewhere, completely in so cool the city and of all the european commission president tells al 0, the world must hold russia accountable for the war a new crane, russia cannot get away with what it has done to the ukrainian people. long queues, the subsidized wheat flour in pakistan as the economic crisis pushes up prices and china's population declines for the 1st time in 60 years. coupled with an economic slowdown and his poor of us joke of it has made

a winning return to the australian open. you're also being deported to the service through to run, to in melting mm . russia is intensifying attacks in easton, ukraine. president vladimir zalinski says there is no place that is not covered with blood around buck mate. moscow is trying to secure a rev victory in the dumbass region after months of fighting. charles stratford is that we hearing a lot of heavy shelling as you can imagine of shelling that it's increased in recent days. interestingly, to put a timeline on it, 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 the 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 process we speculate could well, have 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 friendly fire, but it's the 1st time that we've seen jets in this area. we were in bar moot yesterday, the scenes of utter destruction there. 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 quite a lot of injured bread brought in to this point over the last few hours. this is injured. ukrainian soldiers, they're basically many backed out of back moot, and some of these surrounding towns brought to ambulances here, and a consult littles back from the front line. as i say, we were in bach moot 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 oh my cousin, probation was going 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. the because and 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 2 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 watts believe to have been a 120 millimeter motors slammed into a residential building across the street. the force of the blast broke to windscreen. it's a similar story on the other side of brain, an army, a moving to pushback, a russian evolved se, another of colon of the situation is quite intense,

all aerobic moat. we have information that the russians have central enforcements toward the city on the bottom until dawn was, it was possible ukrainian artillery fires from nearby feels the bottles for bottled is intensified by a day. cha, stratford al jazeera boss mote. o matthews, of the foreman, moscow bureau chief and newsweek magazine and author of overreach, the inside story of pretence war against ukraine and joins us now from rome. great to have you with us. first of all, why are these 2 sides fighting so fiercely for this place? of backward getting the can i just say that was a fantastic for me on the ground that up see why they fighting so intensely. there are tactical reasons, but if i had an important red junction,

the controls and important route for re supplying ukrainian troops solid, which the roughly counted a few days ago. got deep sold minds were good for storing tanks and men. but that's not the real important. the real importance is actually just strategically getting some kind of a win for russia. it doesn't really matter where it is. so in that sense, but what is in itself, just in other towns in the us. but if the russian succeed in capturing it, it will be that 1st victory that they took a chance to save the venue back in july. and it's very important to the credit and right now to the back of the war. and equally, it's enormously important to be creative, to stop them doing that. who is fighting on the russian side in that much much. and she seems to be a military, a russian military dominated operation, which makes it different from the battle solid, which was taken largely by mercenary. and in fact,

many of the recently released prisoners run by a private military company headed by a putin. i like to leave. can you pick gordon? so someone was famously bloody battled, the ukrainians reported piles of corpses and russian that bounce as human waves like the 1st of all that was a wagner operation. now backward from what we can see from the tro. ruffin telegram channels from russian correspondence that are on the ground. but what is what they say that that regular russian army operation not about abrasion of from charles as reporting it does appear to be in backward a war of attrition. what's likely to break that deadlock? well, the whole war is a war and it has been, has been more or less. yeah. except for 2 major breakthroughs, it was ukrainian, taking him on a few months ago and pushing the rustles back from around the back in,

in october. i mean the, the problem is, but in this war artillery, which famously called the god of war, is dominant. and the you can see scenes which a remnant reminiscence of the western front and world war one, whereby you just have deeply entrenched forces suffering through. endless. endless artillery barrage is, and that's what made it so hard to push the front lines so hard to push back, but for the, for the rational side and for the great new side. and the important thing to remember about this battle is hon. the russians are battling for celadon backward, the crating will have an equally tough job fighting to retake them. and the question we keep coming back to in this war is why is truth him willing to similarly risk? everything for when i think he clearly the war did not go according to plan his plan. the plan that was communicated to his

opposite generals on the ground was that they would take care of in a week, and it will be over by the shouting people that he would overthrow the government very quickly, but essentially conceived in top ration, but conceived as a mass of the aggregated aggravated military coup against the landscape plus some occupational territory. obviously that didn't happen. they believe credit is approved to be much more effective, better find, says the morale, the support from the west, all these things. what was things were putin did not anticipate. now he cannot hope to win the war on the terms on which he, big chunk of him, removing the government and stopping you from becoming a pro western closely nato, a light country. but what he can hope to do now is not lose the war and not to lose the war compensatory hanging on to as much as possible. and that means extension

holding onto as much of occupied dumbass as he can until as putin calculates, the west loses interest. ukrainians are exhausted. strategy, and that is very good. thanks. hey, thanks for taking time doing that for me, right? if you will, the next 3 years will say the russian army undergo a major overhaul. the defense minister announced the timeline as he visited. truitt sent the armed forces headquarters in eastern ukraine, so geisha who tanks a serviceman and presented them with the wards. ali hush them have moved from moscow. recording to the russian defense minister. there is going to be a drastic change in the army between 20232026. this is going to be a plan to 1st of all, boosted on that all soldiers to 1500000 and also create 2 new districts. the more school district of dylan in broad district besides enhancing different sectors of

the emitter, 3, the ground courses aerospace at navy. so it's mainly kind of re boosting their army . and this is kind of, if we want to take it in the context for why the project started with the beginning of this year, or we can pick it back to the war with the launch of the water ukraine. everything became, became militarized in, in russia. when it rains 1st lady lance aladdin valencia has been addressing this. he has well economic forum endeavors. she's one of many world leaders meeting in switzerland where the ongoing war as well as the state of the world's economy, our topics up for discussion system locally. what will happen to inflation when state board as start 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 that sat hillary with its missiles,

with its iranian drowns. it is, and you know, the russian aggression was never intended to restrict itself to the ukrainian borders. this war could go further done. the president of the european commission also addressed the forum aunt of mac as to james phase, spoke to us lavonne de land. shortly afterwards, it started by asking what she thought would happen when the war 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'll 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 of 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 kareem khan. he says, no, my court can deal with this. we don't need to have a special drug. 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, and 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 make 17 in 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. um 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 in 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 . and the war a new cray was discussed during a visit to the white house by the dutch prime minister. our white house correspondent kimberly huck it joins us now. live. kimberly what came out of this meeting between the u. s. and dutch leaders yet? well, we know that that meeting is still under way. in fact, what we know is that there really were 2 areas of concern from the white house standpoint that the president wanted 0 in on one was security,

the other was trade. now, with respect to security, we know that the war and ukraine was a big focus for this white house. the president did not respond to shouted questions, but what we do know is that the leader of the netherlands did thank the u. s. for its guidance and for its leadership with respect to that conflict. now what the us presidents hoping for out of this meeting is for additional security commitment on the part of the netherlands already. it has committed some 3000000000 to some security support for ukraine. and there is a commitment for another $1000000000.00, but there are looking for additional commitments moving forward. so that is one area of cooperation that is being discussed. but the other big issue revolves around trades, specifically when it comes to china. and that also has a security component as well. now the united states back in october,

did put in place some export controls focused on china, specifically in the area of semiconductors. in other words, what it is doing is trying to limit china's ability to have access to semiconductors so that it makes it harder for it to have the ability to operate many of its military systems. but the reason it needs the help of allies in particular, the netherlands, is because it is one of the areas where it has a company known as a s m l. and that is one of china's main suppliers for these semiconductors. and so what they need is to have the netherlands on board order to not supply these semiconductors to china. now, the netherlands isn't quite sure it wants to work in this. so there's some dialogue that needs to take place in china is saying don't give in to the united states is

pressure on this. so there are some conversations that are taking place in the oval office right now surrounding this. and this is a sub who is going to have to be worked out. obviously there is a big financial incentive on the part of the netherlands. they'd like to keep this arrangement going, but the united states says it's bigger than money. this is about security. so these are the kinds of conversations that are taking place at the white house right now. so that is a conversation is still ongoing, and we're watching this very carefully. but again, it is security that is on the minds of both of these leaders. when it comes to china and ukraine. kimberly huck it rains or very latest, that from the white house. thanks very much. well, 20 marcella had hair on the news. i including commissions and the poor for victims of sunday's plane crisis, search crews look for the loss of missing at passenger, detained and carried away. police in germany removed climate. ours much better than

a lot of discussions taking place, particularly focusing on other muslim countries, and what we're hearing from the united nations and the spokesperson for the secretary general. just a short time ago telling us that these conversations are showing broad support for restoring women's and girls rights in afghanistan. and that there has been, in fact, an agreement in principle to hold a conference in a muslim country in march that deals with the subject in particular. so clearly there's an attempt to rally support from other countries, particularly muslim come countries to put pressure on the taliban and to restore those rights in the country there. so this was a, as you say, an unexpected visit, a crowd of clouded and secrecy, probably for protection purposes. but
