the barracks for a long time, 2 months. and that requires having generators, electricity. so there's a long way to go to find out who paid for this. also another man ah, has just been in prison for trying to our stage an explosion. this was in december before the inauguration, and it was the 1st sign that people were trying to do something more violent to ours. stop a president lula from, from our taking powers also of the man that used to be the head of security of brazilian. and before he was the minister of justice of former president, j bowles. fernando who was in miami, is also a waiting to be interrogated by the police. he is suspected of omission and of having by not having taken up the necessary steps have allowed all this to happen.

needed humanitarian work without them. but the un says that isn't enough. the un security council has repeatedly called for the rights of afghan women and girls to be restored. and now the u. n's most powerful woman, deputy secretary general amena mohammed, herself a muslim, is in afghanistan to make the case along the way. she's enlisted the help of several muslim countries and organizations. clear consensus was evident on the issue of women's and girls rights to work and have access to education. there is a broad sense that the region and the organization of the slummy conferences leadership on these issues was critical and needed to be strengthened with a full support and collaboration of the international community. i. afghans, neighbors say the international community can't walk away from the struggling country or it's women. the muslim world is moved on from such from, from this approach. and we pride ourselves on,

on the progress that you're seeing across the muslim world, visa be women's rights. but the solution is to engage the of can government and try and convince them to live up to their expect that their, their promises to the international community. and that is exactly that pakistan's approach, an approach all the more crucial for afghan women as taliban attempt to take away their ability to be seen or heard. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. russia is intensive buying its attacks and eastern ukraine. moscow was trying to secure a rare victory in the don boss region. it's amy to take back moot where months of fighting has led to heavy losses on both sides. ukrainian prison followed amir zalinski says there is no place around the city that is not covered with blood. draw stratford is there hearing a lot of heavy selling,

as you can imagine of selling that is 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 rosin forces make gains in and around the town of solid, our, which is north of back moved in that direction. we understand now calling to ukrainian the ukrainian military that the russian forces are trying to win circle that city of bomber. and interestingly, since we've been here this morning, the town of cut a shift co 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 ukranian 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, of course, trying to avoid friendly fibers the 1st time that we've seen jets in this area. we were in bach moot yesterday, the scenes of also destruction there. a terrible situation for the estimated 2000 or so civilians still, they're refusing to leave mostly the elderly and 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 of heavy shelling of the center of the city as well as on the outskirts we've seen quite a lot of injured brit 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 take consults little's back from the front line. ukrainian authorities have called off search and rescue operations in the rubble of a denise pro apartment block hit by russian missiles on saturday. at least 45 people were killed in the attack, but emergency services say at least 20 others are still missing. russia has deny targeting residential buildings. russia says it will boost the capabilities of its armed forces over the next 3 years promising what it's calling major changes. the announcement came as video was released, showing defense minister survey show you visiting troops fighting in the war. ali hash hm reports from moscow. gording to the russian defense minister. that is going to be a drastic change of the army between 20232026. this is going to be a plan to 1st fall, boosted on that all soldiers to $1500000.00. i'd also create 2 new districts. the most go district on dylan in grad district besides enhancing different sectors of

the admitted 3. the ground forces aerospace and navy, so it's mainly kind of re boosting their army. this is kind of, if we want to take it into context for why the company started with the beginning of this year, we can take it back to the war with the, with the launch of the water, ukraine. everything became, became miniaturized in, in russia. the president of the european commission has urged world leaders at davos to keep eating ukraine. our diplomatic editor james bay spoke with ursula of underlying shortly afterwards. he started by asking what she thought would happen when the war started. we all 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 ukraine, of survival and of defending at serenity and 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 sort it 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 wouldn't the main problem with the special tribunal b, that just like m x 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's 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 that 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 question of the russian people to decide on whether they want to go on like this . the u. s. secretary of state says the government will announce more aid to ukraine in the coming days. antony blanket who was speaking after talked with you, k foreign secretary, james, cleverly jabber tante has more from washington. the british foreign secretary message here in washington has been as far as london is concerned,

russia is on the back foot and now is the time to give the ukrainians everything they need so that they can go on the offensive in the east and south about explains london's decision to supply ukraine with tanks, the 1st western nation to do so just by western tanks to ukraine. so the question was asked of the when will the, does that suggest a difference in approach? because the you are so far has refused to supply tanks or long range weaponry asked for by ukraine. because washin of yours as to escalator could lead to a much larger conflict. the could involve the rest of the world, but both men brushed aside those suggestions. all of that total's for the port on the, on the part of the united states, some $25000000000.00 in security assistance to ukraine over less than a less than a year. and, and i would anticipate that you'll hear more announcements in the days to come. we should never lose sight of the fact that united states of america is the single largest donor,

old military and economic aid to support ukraine's self defense of any country. well, uh, because very proud to be a number to the map, a picking order. another interesting issue that came up was northern ireland. it has been reported have of the by did ministration has been leaning on the u. k. somewhat to come to a deal on the northern of protocol that is a deal on trade between northern ireland island, the u. after, after breaks it, no deal, no biden's visit. it's been reported has been the message from washington because biden wants to attend the good friday agreement anniversary celebrations at easter . however, the british foreign secretary bout about away as well and said that the negotiations weren't taking place under any sort of time table still had on al jazeera feller was, puts exiled opposition leader svetlana chicago sky on trial for treason along with 4 of her allies along hughes for a subsidized wheat flour in pakistan. as an economic crisis pushes up prices.

but still some bursts of rain to go around manila on wednesday, with a high of 26 temperatures har solidly coming up through china as the cloud deck, shuffling away. so grey, linda got a hight 14, a beauty of a day in hong kong. you're up to 18 pretty close to where you should be for this sub the year. or the winds coming at just the right direction. some cooler air here . so you know what that mean? see effect snow turns for western and northern areas of japan. other side of the mountains, tokyo, a hive taught degrees on wednesday. that's a snapshot of your weather will see soon. bye for now. ah, there are people in the world walk all forms of verification to just go away. so we need people fighting against that. we are trying to see if it's a fake video, maybe in syria, but in a different time. they risk a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global play as we be targeted by cyber attacks from russia. they're all they just

do this concord belling cat truth in a post truth world on al jazeera lou . ah, you're watching on the 0 a reminder of our top stories. this out. brazil, prosecutor general has filed the 1st charges against $39.00 people accused of storming government buildings this month. supporters of former president jacob wilson, our wanted to overturn the result of october's election. the you in has sent its top ranked woman as part of its highest level delegation to afghanistan. since the taliban sees power, it follows concerns about gender based discrimination in the country. russia is
