the u. s. secretary of state maids chime has taught diplomat for the 1st time since the spy balloons saga. ah, and i wanted to brought him and this is al 0 and live from doha. also coming up. the biden administration says russia has committed crimes against humanity, ukraine, and vowels to punish moscow. it thinks he can wade us out. he is badly mistaken. time is not on his side. a syrian baby, but one of the rabble, an orphaned by the disaster finds new parents and adults and south african cheeses . find a new holland and central india and a bit to bring back the big cats. ah, you a secretary of state or has told has chinese counterpart that the violation of american

a space by a chinese spy balloon never happen again. antony blinkin met wang ye and munich a month after us fighter jets shot the balloon down. bathing says it was a weather balloon that blew off course, or mike hannah as joining as lie from washington dc with more on this. and what do we know about how the meeting went? mike, just hours after wang, he publicly said that the u. s. was behaving hysterically and shooting down the balloon. well, it seems that it was a very blunt meeting indeed. and the secretary of state antony blinkin made that very clear in a tweet that he sent out after the meeting. blinkin says that he just met with a p. r. c's, top diplomat, wang ye. he continues, i condemned the incursion of the p. r. c. surveillance balloon and stressed it must never happen again. i warn china against providing material support to russia. i also emphasize the importance of keeping open lines of communication. now the slime

l 1st log last line is very important. the bite of administration has stressed in recent months that it is very important to keep communication going with china at a time when relations have been at an absolute low. the reason for this is concerns been expressed that incidence could happen due to a lack of communication. now it does appear that in the weeks since that spy balloon incident, or what china says was a weather balloon. her relations reached an all time low. there appeared to be little communication between the 2 countries, but now at least with this meeting, now that does appear that some kind of diplomatic community or communication is once again and away. and of course, i much rests on these 2 at countries having an open line of communication, not least of war and ukraine, which was also discussed. yes, that was discussed as he heard there in blinking tweets. but that's another issue

that could be devil relations between the us and china in the weeks to come, a spokesman for the us state department, saying that a blinking had made very clear to his chinese counterpart that china would, must not give any material support to russia in its ukrainian invasion, now he said that there would be consequences what these consequences are has not been made clear either by the spokesman or by antony blinking himself. but certainly this is another issue that could imperil or the devil relations between the us and china. in coming weeks. all right, mike, thank you very much for that, mike hannah with the latest in washington dc. when that meeting came on the sidelines of the security conference in munich for the biden administration leveled, it's most serious condemnation yet, of russia's invasion of ukraine. in the case of russia's actions in ukraine. we have examined the evidence. we

know the legal standards and there is no doubt. these are crimes against humanity. has it been adequate to james base as actimmune execution conference war clients have been an issue in ukraine since the very start of the war. and one place that war crimes are alleged to have taken places in churn of eve, 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 10. the heave, last year on the ground bodies of civilians that 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 without it with natasha 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. with 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 we're prosecuted list that he says the what happened on that day is a war crime, an indiscriminate attack on civilians or on the appropriate corporate law

enforcement agencies. consider this a war crying because the main victims were civilian, was also a pre trial investigation, found no evidence of ukrainian military hardware that could be a legitimate target weapons, were used indiscriminately very fiscal. we're picking it all. all this, sir. mark theo, marks are the places of burkett's hid the building may be marina slow. boat yoke works with the rights organization called truce 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. have we identified also the condo. this is sir. okay. i'll that could have been who might be liable and responsible for this very kind of attack. whether oh,

leg creek in or another officer was responsible for the attack on the brake. 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 exit got 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, ursula on the line. she says that they continue very strongly the e u. countries about ukraine. but i asked her, when is it the time for the fighting to stop and the negotiations to start? what ukraine is concerned, i think very important is nothing about your queen without your pain. it's

a sovereign country. ukraine itself has to decide when the time has come for 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 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 war, there'll be a series of phases. ukraine is asked for something. europe is then spent quite a bit of time delaying, and finally gives it presents. lensky says it's all too slow. a 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 lensky is very clear. i'm standing here for the european commission. i'm the president of the european commission. so it's a european voice. you're here in viet and your pin 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 far, 67000000000 of support to ukraine, and we will give more as long as it takes. that's what 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 for 1000000 refugees from ukraine. so all these are my, my responsibilities on the delivery of a military capabilities as a sovereign decision of the member states. now, the conflicts so far has been shaped by some pivotal moments on the battlefield. moscow launched its invasion by attacking ukraine from 3 directions, striking at kids from the north dawn, yet from the east and into the south from crimea. will m fabulous landings near mighty opal. despite the overwhelming russian numbers, ukraine's military drove them from around the capitol cave. but in the south, muddy opal was quickly surrounded and kiss on was seized. rationale controlled,

most of 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 offensives in the east and south. they took back large parts of don, yet sk recapturing care on and forcing russian troops back, crossed the didn't the pro river fighting now rages in the east around but more and the mining town of later o matthews is the author of overreach, the inside story of putin's war against ukraine, and he says, ukraine and russia have a different constraints when it comes to continuing this war. ukraine is already fighting of 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 that, by the military skill, the only constraint on ukraine's wherever the material one, you know how much, how many men they can, they can mobilize how many, how much, how many,

how much alms they can actually persuade the european and nato allies to give them the only restraint on putin's war effort, it's political. so he doesn't, he doesn't want to push the russian people to file by announcing too much more mobilization. but just put it in context. his big mobilization drive in august 21st of september of last year he mobilized 300000 people with military experience. out of a population of 144000000. we know that he has it still enormous was of soviet era artillery shells of soviet era tanks that burning through the high position, modern weaponry very fast, but that enormous reserve of just shift fire power. and so the 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 putin and his regime. and he will do everything

possible to prevent that from happening. ukrainian, someone does in the city of backbone. so they're still waiting for promised western weapons to revive. they say they needed for planned counter attack. right on the front line and surrounded by russian troops. and make sure you join us for our special coverage of ukraine war at $1130.00 g empty. on sunday, february 19th, we'll explore how the war is affecting the global energy market. still ahead on knowledge is the amount more to magic rescues and takia a couple of national rabble up to being trapped for 13 days and with one week to go on till nigeria is crucial. elections will tell you about one group that critics say can influence the voice. ah

now took he and syria stone recovering after the devastating earthquakes that have left at least $46000.00 people dead. but even his rescue operations, one doubt, emergency cruise, a still finding survivors. 3 people, including a child, were rescued and hot. i enter keel saturday, 13 days off the earth. the victims are trapped under the rubble for 296 hours. but one of them later died in the hospital. we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across southeast and turkey and northwest syria. first, let's hear from f had begun carmen rash on displaced people having to leave behind their belongings. they survived the earthquakes, but now the eager to save what's left today, he will have to rebuild their lives and everything matters. what the more he called you to take out your belongings, the municipality worker says, yeah 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. oh, 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 remember were not looters were not looted that our own goods. they say after class on this off we will try to survive. all we have is lost. don't let them let limit is every offer. what the state or people will give us in 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 tent does have a garmin mirage. the search continues, even at this stage, some king ought to hope. as every one falls, silent, rescues 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 divest you until you visit the graves. the verses say to many, his city is now a graveyard. i said, bake. i just eat a gut ameris 7. while the survivors and temporary belief centers are facing hardship, stress, and uncertainty, natasha name has more from adina. it is our gargantuan task ahead for the people that we've been talking to. we're in a tense city here and a donna and like many of the people we have spoken to who are displaced, they feel helpless and hopeless. and they're waiting. they're waiting to find out

when and where they might be moved to by the government to seek emergency housing. they're waiting to find out if an inspector will deem their building structurally sound and they'll be able to return home. the government does not have a figure as to how many people are now homeless as a result of the earthquake. but given that 13500000 people across southern turkey have been impacted by the earthquake and that the country has already provided 1600000 people with shelter. that should give you an idea of just the scope of this disaster and how many people are in need of a place to stay if they're lucky, they're staying in a university dormitory, or a tense city like this. we're told now some of these tents have heat, but we've spoken to so many people who are still living in cars and even remain outside. it has been very cold here and we've heard stories of people huddling around and make shift fires and desperately looking to buy tents of their own.

there is a critical shortage of shelter, inter kiya. the country has depleted its source of tense. it is working quickly to try to make more and buy more and container camps are in the process of being built . but when you speak to people here, they do feel very unsettled. a sense of chaos though they know they're lucky to be alive. now baby pulled from the robinson. sylvia has been taken in by her uncle's family baby affair, lost her hands and siblings. when the quake devastated the town of she, that is fountain monahan has more baby offer, welcomed into her new home. her parents and siblings died when the quake struck her uncle cleo wanted to take her in right away, but took several days before she was allowed to join his household. now she's back with family sitting long cycles own newborn daughter i up of law for in the will

that that'll offer was born under the rubble. she was at the hospital and we received her today. she is in good condition. the reason behind the delay receiving her is that we were asked for some legal procedures by the officials in the area. and they checked that we were her relatives. the off road was found under the ruins of her family's home, and she was apparently born under the rebel her umbilical cord still connecting her to her dead mother. despite the loss of all her immediate family offers, discovery made her a symbol of hope as rescuer, search for survivors gender. it is one of the town that was worst hit by the earthquake as un conway of more than $140.00 trucks full of 8 arrived in northwest syria. officials made a point of visiting their shop by the construction. i've never seen anything like that in all my life. you need particular shelter. these fresh water. they have medical you know,

really as survivors of the quake wait for the help they need, they'll have to rely on each other. more than ever. since martin al jazeera martin is here, has expounded european trade union confederation official from the country for taking part in a protest against president chi sides policies. thousands demonstrated across tennessee on friday. they accused the president of stifling basic freedoms and blame him for worsening economy. side shut down parliament more than a year ago and seized most powers. he's accused what he calls traitors for price increases and food shortages may help you. oh, so that mister president does not want dialogue. he has ignored all parts of the political and social parties of the union has been absent. also. he did car every one off and governs alone as well. this is not a democratic way to govern under country can not progressing this way. now the sister of north korean leader kim jong on has urged the u. s. to stop what she

this was an icbm class of miss alden, intercontinental ballistic missile. the type of missile that north korea has been testing and which has the kind of range to reach the continental united states. this is the 2nd message that north korea has fired so far this year on january 1st, it fired a short range ballistic missile. but of course, during 2022, there was an unprecedented flurry of missile activity with around 8 years. so missiles being tested and fired many of them, short range, but also including several, it's thought icbm, intercontinental ballistic missiles. this has been condemned by japan and also by south korea. the national security council here has had a meeting describing this as a serious provocation. now, us secretary of state anthony blinking has called for a more effective implementation of sanctions against north korea. following the

missile launch, this is not yet again a rocker backed by a north korea in violation of multiple your security council resolutions. we call on others to commend this action to take appropriate steps including the federal enforcement sessions. and so the results of actions by or 3 it is simply to even further solidify the work that we do together of the alliance we share and our commitment to the defense of our partners knowledge. jimmy carter's charitable foundation has announced that the former u. s. president is receiving hospice care at home. the carter center says that the 98 year old wants to spend his remaining time at home with his family after a series of short hospital stays. carter served as president from 1977 until 1981.
