9:03 pm
international i was speaking to earlier on says that it's something that potentially could be in crimes against the leadership of the country involved. so very important, i think development as a say war crimes have been an issue in ukraine since the very stars of the war and one place that war crimes are alleged to have taken places in china. vive were early in the war. there was an attack on people who were gathering to q for bred. my colleague natasha butler, has been to the scene see aftermath of a russian attack in the northern ukrainian city of chan. the heave last year on the ground bodies of civilians. they've been queuing outside a shop for bread when they were hit by shells and rockets. 15 people were killed, dozens injured. so you are standing around here and i was always due. natasha
9:04 pm
narrowly escaped death that day by taking cover by this wool. she was in the queue with her son and mother in law. she plays me recording, she made on her phone really like you said, this below news news agrees. got we heard explosions near us. it was very close. and then we saw lots of people running everywhere. at the time, at the attack turned the he was a city under siege. russian forces were surrounding it and shelled it almost daily . they destroyed power and water supplies. evidence of what happened is still visible, lily everywhere. this is where people were lining up for bread that day. it is right in the middle of a residential area and were prosecuted in a city say the what happened on that day is a war crime, an indiscriminate attack on civilians who are on the property of corporate law enforcement agencies. consider this
9:05 pm
a war crying because the main victims were civilians. also a pre trial investigation found no evidence of ukrainian military hardware that could be a legitimate target weapons were used indiscriminately with school repair. it all, all this sir. mark thiel marks are the places of work, it's hit, the buildings in may. the marina sla bought yoke works with the rights organization called truth hounds. that's helping prosecutors to build a case. it's collated, evidence amused, open source material, satellite imagery and social media to reconstruct what happened. her team says it's traced the killings to a russian unit that was positioned on the outskirts of the city. we identified also the condo is sir. okay. all that could have been who might be liable and responsible for this very kind of attack, whether oh leg creegan or another officer was responsible for the attack on the
9:06 pm
bridge. you might never be proved. some investigators say he's back in russia. it's clear that building legal cases and prosecuting alleged war crimes is a challenge, but for some ukrainians, pursuing justice is at least one way of honoring the was many victims. natasha butler al jazeera kenny heave ukraine. as you might expect here to be an extra caught here at the conference, we've had a messages from a host of different western leaders saying that they are fully backing presidents lensky and the ukrainians. at this time, one of those was the president of the european commission, us and of on the line. she says that they continue very strongly the countries, the ukraine. but i asked when is it the time for the fighting to stop? and then to go see ations to start what ukraine is concert, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without you. it's a sovereign country. and ukraine itself has to decide when the time has come for
9:07 pm
them to make the next move. this is very important. we support fully and back fully as a piece plan of presidential landscape. and at the moment being 100 percent support focused on the survival of ukraine military wise, that they are strong and economically wise. and again, nothing about your brain without your. there's a problem though, isn't there about what ukraine needs. ukraine keeps saying it needs more. and one of the key things right now is ammunition. i'm told in terms of artillery shells they're using more than western factories are producing. how are you going to deal with that? yes. what we're going to do on the european level is that we are convening the european defense industry. basically ask them, what is it, what you need to scale up to speed up. that's important. we have these infrastructure for that, the european piece facility, and they are used to do the procurement and to have the funding and important it's
9:08 pm
like we did with the vaccine to be very clear. this is a standardized production of ammunition. what is it, what you need to scale up and to speed up? we're going to give it to you. the latest discussion is, you know, is about fighter jets. and throughout this all there been a series of phases. ukraine has asked for something. europe has then spent quite a bit of time delaying, and finally gives it a presence. lensky says it's all too slow and much of the delays come from the country that you come from originally, which is germany, doesn't europe need to speed up as president? zalinski is asked very clear, i'm standing here for the european commission. i'm the president of the european commission. so it's a european voice. yes, we are here and yeah, and the european commission does not have any military capabilities. this is a sovereign decision of the member states, where i feel responsible is that we make sure that there is an economic survival of ukraine. so budget support we have given so 567000000000 of support to ukraine,
9:09 pm
and we will give more as long as it takes that's important. energy survival of ukraine is absolutely important. linked to the european level, where we make sure that they have the electricity and the energy they need, or we're taking care of 4000000 refugees from ukraine. so all these are my, my responsibilities. the delivery of military capabilities is a sovereign decision of the member states. so a great deal of focus on the ukraine. but in a related development there's quite a lot of talk as well taking place in the conference behind me about the country of moldova, and possible destabilization efforts from russia. there is something that the nato secretary general un stalson book told me nato allies are currently very concerned about import discussions going on there in munich. james, thanks. james bench reporting. well,
9:10 pm
since the collapse of the soviet union in the early 19 ninety's, nato has been expanding eastward, russia sees that as a threat to its national security. and moscow says it went to war to protect its interests. but is it succeeding? how ravel expense, the russia says the decision to invade ukraine was a defensive one, and not taken just because keith was becoming closer to europe instead of neighboring russia. most go was also against european military advisors training, ukrainian forces, since 2014. when we were putting it that i made a decision to carry out a special military operation to protect people who for 8 years now have been facing humiliation. and genocide perpetrated by the cave regime will seek to demilitarize and denounce a fi ukraine as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the russian federation. although you claim leadership has denied, gosh, and claims that nothing's way involved in fighting for the country. it's
9:11 pm
a fact the hard line as a militia founded by a right wing extremist group, was integrated into forces of the to the ministry. russia has held referendums in territories. it's taken from ukraine, including don yeske husk hudson, and appreciate wild western nations labeled them. sam, moscow has effectively and next these regions, just as it did with crimea, there was a motor reason to prevent their western miss the theory in ukraine for a direct strike on moscow. there was a kind of geopolitical reason to reunite the russian people. we can assume that the premiums are russian and that should undermine western unity. but the president flooding and put in a quick special military operation has become a grueling conflict with an estimated tens of thousands of casualties on both sides . russian military analysts say the initial plan to fight the operation without
9:12 pm
a central command was late teddy verse. wagner, group contract as seen as mercenaries by ukraine and its allies have been prominent on the front lines. but the longer the war drags on a great to the strain on russia's economy. but for moscow, keith is a military threat. and the deployment of western air defenses in ukraine lemons, unacceptable. hammered, fun and dizzy weather conflict. and so far has been shaped by some pivotal moments on battlefield. moscow launched its invasion by attacking ukraine from 3 directions . striking it came from the north, the nets from the east and into the south from correct crimea, with amphibious land is near mary apple. it, despite the overwhelming russian numbers, ukraine's military drove them from around the capital cave. but in the south mariposa was quickly surrounded and kirsten was seized. russia now controlled
9:13 pm
mostly ukraine's coastline and several of its ports. a summer stalemate followed with slow russian gains in the east. in september, ukraine launched a series of counter offences in the east and in the south. they took back large parts of the nets, recapturing her son and forcing russian troops back across, denise pro river, fighting now rages in the east, around buck moot and in the mining town of wolf dogs. so let's bring in matthews. he's the author of overreach, the inside story of houston's war against ukraine, jaundiced now from, ah, london's today mister matthews, welcome to out to sara. zip. this is more about this said the whole processor at the start of the invasion in russia, selling at the war to the public as a special operation. what degree of support they put in have from the russian public at that point? well, he had a, in enormous degree of support because he pitched the whole operation as a self defensive preemptive strike against western aggression. and i think that's
9:14 pm
one thing that's actually very important, not just so for understanding the beginning of the war, but for understanding the end of the war. because pushing himself and the people around huge in those the secure a crafts who have been, who worked with him from the early seventy's and who now basically are the most powerful voices in the kremlin. have for a long time, been convinced and certainly have been convincing putin that the ukraine is just a stalking horse for a wider western and particularly us effort to undermine and destroy the putin regime. i mean, sounds extraordinarily paranoid and many ways it is paranoid. but for them, they honestly believe that actually this is a war of national self defense that they did not start. okay about it actually is very so i was just going to say that sort of the russian public. it concerned that they do, they still buy that what they buy now, even even people who say and the most striking thing about going to moscow as i
9:15 pm
have been doing several times this beginning of this war is even people who dislike putin. even people who dislike the war now say nearly a year in, we'll tell you yes, but you know, we are all in it together. now it's a war for national survival. and when you look at the opinion polls, obviously they're actually great difficulties in and getting a pass straight honest opinion polls in an authoritarian society. but the overall support for put in is still very high. where you start seeing cracks is people actually have started to oppose waves of mobilization, which is one of the reasons why peaches i should be cautious about announcing a new way from mobilization. but the, the surprising thing is yes, nick, they, they do buy it because propaganda is strong and it's effective. it's both sides have gained both sides of last territory during the course of the year. doing now right now we're, it's kind of inflection point. i think the inflection point actually came in
9:16 pm
september when the ukrainians started to win when they took and when they took back large parts of of his own province when they pushed back around the hot give as well. it was that moment when the ukrainians that she started to believe that they could win and it was the moment when there was a massive escalation in the fire power has been provided to them, particularly in terms of high miles, rocket, propelled artillery and so on. so from september on was the ukrainians have been convinced that they can win this war and push russia back? not just to pre invasion positions, in other words, pre february 24th positions, but actually push russians right out of ukraine altogether. that's the rebel republics. dumbass and crimea, and that actually puts them so the puts them in a much more difficult position because not only is it militarily can be much more difficult for the ukrainians to take back all of the dumbass and crimea, but also is going to be politically different because i think that difficult
9:17 pm
because that's going to be the moment when i think the unity that we've heard today at the meaning security conference of europe might start to crack. right? you mentioned, let's bring this full circle. you mentioned at the beginning the how this all started will reflect on how it might end explain that for us, but now the ukrainians have insisted that their definition of victory is to take up every centimeter russian territory that has been taken from them since 2014, the, so far there is more the nato alliance is pretty solid. although we haven't mentioned the course minor members of nato, for instance, notably hungry austria the herb slovakia have actually started to waver on that. and croatia have started to push back against western support. but so far, all the major players are on board germany, france, america. the question is, if the ukraine is do succeed in pushing the russians, it becomes
9:18 pm
a different war. because once you actually go back, even in the very optimistic scenario, that you could actually push the russians back to pre invasion on lines of control, then you're dealing with a population who, despite the illegality of the annexation of crimea and the legality of the independence of dumbass republics, all the prob, key, if people have left those republics. so the people who are left, there are actually really strongly pro russians. so even a different kind of war at that stage. but i, frankly don't think that sadly, the russians are going to allow it to get to that point because the reserves of dumb fire power and of manpower of russia are still so enormous that i think they can actually hung, hang on and make this a very protracted and very long whole as yields the n still some bug said today a long whole conflict. so looking at it as we speak now, what's your gut feeling about how it, you know,
9:19 pm
end the problem is the ukraine is already fighting at the end of its resources. it's already fighting a total war. and they've been fighting, they've surprise the world by their bravery. and by there, by the military skill, the only constraint on ukraine's were, if it is material one, you know how much, how many men they can, they can mobilize. how many, how many, how many am, how much arms they can actually persuade, the european and nato allies to give them the only restraint on putin's war effort is political. so he doesn't, he doesn't want to push the russian people too far by announcing too much more mobilization. but just to put it in context, his big mobilization drive it in obs. 21st of september of last year, he mobilized 300000 people with military experience. out of a population of a 144000000. we know that he has it still enormous reserves of soviet era. artillery shells of soviet era tanks. they're burning through the high precision
9:20 pm
modern weaponry very fast, but that enormous reserve of just fire power and the sort of human cannon fodder is tragically enormous. and i think we're who tend to lose this war. and if he does get pushed back and loses all the territory that he wins, that he's won in 2022. that becomes a life or death situation for kitchen and his regime. and he will do everything possible to prevent that from happening. and aid. alright and matthews, great to get your perspective and expertise. appreciate it. thanks a lot. my pleasure. well, make sure you join us for our special coverage of the korean war at $1130.00 gmc, that's on sunday, february, the 19th. we'll be exploring how the war is affecting the global energy market. are plenty more still ahead of the news are including with one week to go until nigeria is crucial. elections will tell you bounce one greek critic. so you can influence

9:22 pm
let's hear from as it beg and kyra man brush on the displaced people having to leave behind their belongings. they survived the earthquakes, but now they eager to save what's left in the day. oh, they will have to rebuild their lives and everything matters. what we called you to take out your belongings. the municipality worker says i have a brother. his phone was under the rubble, how you going to reach them? it took a lifetime to accumulate what people had. it was taken away in a matter of minutes. my what will we be upset about our belongings? i wish all of this was gone, so i didn't have to care about it from one of the shops they salvage what they can not due to were not due to their own goods. they say we will try to survive. all we have is lost there. let me let me out what the state are. people will give us an
9:23 pm
aid will only last a week and then we'll be hungry. we have children, we must survive. and what we built in the last 30 years is gone. we had 3 houses, and now we're in a 10 government marsh. the firm continues even at this stage, some clinger to hope as everyone falls silent risk is use their equipment to search for any sign of life. the earthquakes took away lives and homes. but some things can't be taken. we lost everything. i took some pages of the koran out, when the memories left nothing else left. it's all gone behind me. this was my shops. all the families had gone. a page of the koran lives in the box in front of a tent. the mutual rivalry of this world diverts you until you visit the graves. the verses say to many, his city is now a graveyard. i said bake. i just got home and my rush 7th,
9:24 pm
as well as well as those in the 10 cities. another 200000 displays, people took a shelter in guest houses in university dormitories, and sports holes in casino has more now from ankara by a brief moment of joy for the children outside a durham to campus in kirk. but inside, there's an anxious way why they adopt their said terrified and still shocked after experiencing last mom. those powerful earthquakes that hit to kiss 10 southern cities. cannon and his family are among the hundreds of thousands who left their city behind. he says he arrived here 5 days ago after burying family members. so you should be resourceful to this, sir. so we on the, we woke up to huge shaking and noise. it was flashing everywhere. we had no
9:25 pm
electricity, but we were able to see each other as if it was daytime shaquanna. my wife was in shock unless she hugged me tight. almost. i was trying to gather the kids at the same time. it was like a nightmare in our own home. we were panicking. it shook for a long time. we pride a lot by the can on hit the death of his in laws from his wife as she was just for weeks far from giving birth. did not, he could have been already a good when i saw the ruins, i started crying and calling my mom and brother. i couldn't get any sound from them yet. i couldn't do anything. i was distraught. they took me away from there because i am pregnant. just in this dormitory, in the turkish capital, there are new 2500 citizens who have been displaced from their homes without any clothes or shoes. still, they're thankful they have a roof over their heads, hot water and a warm place to sleep. but it is still not home between on the bottom of the issue
9:26 pm
. unfortunately, we left all our memories, youth, childhood future and hope. everything behind and came here. and tucker is totally destroyed. but we returned to our city while we were revived, this city of civilization gated energy. even though most of these people lost their everything, they haven't lost their hub to see another day, at least for their children to rebuild one day. they are not sure when that they will come, but they're aware they have a long way to go with the non custodial l. 0. unfair as we've just been hearing families in syria facing di conditions made worse by the delay delivering aid. oma of her and reports from africa and the leper countryside. nephew fall out of the was the into free and we are inside this gym hall in the middle of a free in the aleppo countryside. this is where dozens of syrian families have taken shelter after their homes were partially or totally destroyed by the
9:27 pm
earthquake. what we've seen here can only be described as devastating, especially to children and the elderly, gut, heather and mac. let's hear now from one of the survivors. i'm not sure your maneuvers, desert. we have been sheltered in this hall for 12 days, but we don't have any services. we have not received any assistance. i suffer from colon cancer and back pain. i'm sleeping on his hard surface in his fiercely cold weather. it is really tough, though we survived the earthquake, we find ourselves faced with another type of disaster. the walls of our house fell on my wife and she has been in hospital for 10 days. she doesn't have anything, not even a mattress to sleep on. we have not received any medical 800, but i'm a father to fall. all of them are suffering from a constant. cough. some health organizations came over but could not even provide a cough medication to sit on it and he has a little plus the issue has its nothing but harsh living conditions. these families
9:28 pm
are left battle. the tragic stories can be heard wherever we go. the survivors are in need of food, shelter, and medical supplies. we've heard similar complaints in every area we've been to, people in desperate need of help. although dozens of trucks have passed the northern border, more relief, aid is needed. the lack of services and shortages of supplies is all we hear and see here on the ground in northwestern, syria, a lot of syria all model hold on the l does yellow medina to 3 in. but if you hello or let's take this on or we can speak now with ruler, i'm in, she says celia communications advisor at the united nations high commissioner for refugees and joins us now from damascus. so roulette just give us an impression of the challenges faced in this desperate desperate situation in syria. many challenges and i've been here for a week now. we've been to
9:29 pm
a little bit of to let talk. you know, we've been to some of the villages that were severely hit by the earthquake and i can tell you there's deep grief. there's a lot of anxiety. people are traumatized, they are scared afraid that there will be more earthquakes and maybe on the way the shelters are overcrowded. it's not you cannot really assess the impact of the earthquake just by the number of lives lost and buildings have that collapse. because for example, when it comes to shelter, even those buildings that are still standing, we would be walking in the neighborhood and you find like a couple of buildings on the ground. but the rest are still standing. and then people will start pointing out that all these buildings have been deemed as unsafe . they have to be evacuated. the people who live there moved outside. sometimes they stayed at mosques at chanters. schools have been turned into temporary shelters. of course they are not equipped to host all this huge number of people.
9:30 pm
they didn't have showers. we had to work on these facilities units. y'all had been on the ground since the beginning. we have been trying to help people with mattresses, blankets, terminal, that kids winter clothes. but you know, the needs are immense. and these are just the immediate needs. you know, this is what they need now. urgently. exactly. i was going to have a long term impact. the i was going to say it's not just know that we have to be dealing with quick initially, and that is the immediate overhead of venice is looking forward not just of the weeks the month, possibly the years ahead. yes. it started to, i mean if you look at the schools, for example, we would at one school yesterday and i did it called juggler. and the school had been turned into a shelter. so the families who are there, of course, their children were not going to school, but also even the children of families who did not have to leave their houses.
9:31 pm
their learning had been destructed. the rooms had been impacted some of the health clinics. the assessment is still going on on what's safe and what's not safe. people are very anxious on how they're going to want the winter. what is going to happen next? when will they stay? who will help them? you have to remember that people have been struggling for the past 12 years, order to survive the city of crisis and now, and this comes and a few. so i know they wonder if the world is going to hell. so far, some aid and assistance has been coming in, but we need it to mobilize all the resources in order to be able to stand by and to tell them an item because what they need is and it's, it's human a very, an assistance, but also assistance to help them recover the impact on the infrastructure on the schools, on the health at this to health services. one small examples that one of these
9:32 pm
people, many of them had left their months. of course, they didn't take their ideas, their documents, documents that are very important in order to get immunization to go to school, to go to the public hospitals. and so we have to work on that, get them work with authorities to try to get them these documents as soon as possible. but this is a scene, not just a lot of kids across the area in north west city and the needs are growing by the day. it's not like with now that we are 30 days past the earthquake. things are getting easier, it's good things on goes on to all these families and they now it's roulette weaker. i'm just let's leave leave though you're cutting out a little bit now anyway, but we do appreciate your time. we'd certainly got the majority of what you were saying. i really am in a talk to staff from damascus from either you and hcr think you still had here on al jazeera, the philippine government brand, a doctor, a terrorist. it's part of a policy actually say his cracking down on critics. it's sports a 1st title of the,
9:33 pm
of the world's number one tennis player. and he will be here with actually from the final of ah, with hello. we have a fresh breeze blowing along the gulf at the moment to stare 1st. shamal making it feel really quite chilly. despite those temperatures $2122.00 degrees celsius, it still should be a large, dry place to say, but lifted us the sand. something to watch out for just some snow across northern parts of afghanistan, a chance to some snow to just run northern areas of to care. as we go on through the next day or so. further south, it should be largely driving sailors temperatures, trying desperately just to pick up and certainly i will not frost no in there as intense as they have been recently so that some small consolation, so little more widespread across northern areas as we go on into monday meanwhile,
9:34 pm
across northern parts of africa, la she dry here wanted to shout over to was a north west. and then we have got this cost. if hamilton wind still bring fair bit of dust into a good part of west africa. lavish, i was continue. meanwhile, across central and southern parts of southern africa and heavy showers around that east side of south africa into zimbabwe into most and b just noticed this developing system. all that is tropical cyclone freddy is pushing towards them. madagascar, as you go on through the next couple of days, as he pushes in mid week, it is likely to cause widespread flooding with damaging winds. ah, it's the largest war in europe since world war 2. is president putin reclaiming what belong to russia? was natal coming to close? and what does the end game look like?
9:35 pm
an in depth look at the war in ukraine. hooton's blonde, or the west neglected ukraine. the seeds who, who are just either the latest news as it breaks. this is just a small example of extraordinary humanitarian challenge facing the turkish all parties . now the scene is being repeated across this region. we detailed coverage like inside me and mark seems to be getting increasingly difficult on the military rule from around the world. the pentagon says that in recent years, surveillance balloon spotted over juan and hawaii lou
9:36 pm
ah, okay, you're watching out 0. 1 of our top stories this hour and emergency crews and turkey still finding survivors. 13 days after the earthquake, 3 people including a child, were rescued in at a province. the victims were trapped under the rubble for 296 hours. one of the most died. more than 46000 people are confirmed dead in turkey, in syria from the disaster. focus is shifting to relief efforts in helping the millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. your vice president, pamela harris, says her country has for me, determined that russia has committed crimes against humanity in ukraine. she made the remarks at the music security conference representatives from cubes. western allies have been using the meeting to show solidarity with each other and with ukraine. well, earlier in munich, our diplomatic editor jays. but he spoke to agnes telemachus secretary general of
9:37 pm
amnesty international. and he started by asking her why the designation of crimes against humanity is so significant. when we talk about crimes against humanity, we're speaking about something that is systematic. that is widespread. that may be part of the state policy. so it is really much, much higher in severity if i, if i can use that term expression, even though a war crimes is already very severe. but the fact that it is widespread, systematic that there is some forms of organisation behind it, possibly as state policy. that is went to making it very significant. the ukranian judicial system cannot handle crimes against humanity at the moment under the existing framework. so we need more instrument to tackle the breath and the scale of the violations committed. does it mean, do you think the designation of crimes against humanity talks of the special
9:38 pm
tribunal that president putin could be in the dark? and does amnesty international believe he should be in the door? or there is absolutely no doubt that he should be thoroughly investigated. there have been much teacher in or androids of war crimes being committed, possible crimes against humanity. so absolutely. e must be investigated and frankly, all the evidence point to civilian lead, those being responsible for what has happened. they certainly are responsible for the act of aggression. north korea has fired a long range, ballistic missile into the sea, or fritz, east coast. japan's defense ministry says the missile landed in it's exclusive economic zone and that it was entered continental ballistic missile class. the launch comes one day after pyongyang, threatened strong, actually gate south korea and, and the united states. the allies recently announced joint military drills from mcbride has borne out from sol. this miss l was launched late saturday afternoon,
9:39 pm
