a diplomat wang ye. and it was made very clear that blunt words were exchanged between the 2 and the discussion, of course, that balloon incident to which the us shot down, claiming it was a spy balloon. a balloon which a china said was there for the collection of weather data. after the meeting, the u. s. secretary of state issued a tweet in which he said, just met with a p. r. c's, top diplomat wang ye. 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 emphasized the importance of keeping open lines of communication. are the great fear that has been expressed by the by that administration, is that mistakes could occur. should there be no clear lines of communication between the 2 countries are but another issue added in there. clearly the balloon

was not the only matter discussed at the secretary of state making very clear that at china has been warned against providing any material aid to russia in its operations in ukraine. it said that there will be consequences. what these consequences are, have not been made clear, but this is another issue that could be devil relations between the us and china in the weeks and months to come. now that meeting came on the sidelines of the security conference in munich with might and administration level it's most serious condemnation 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. my diplomatic

editor james base as at the munich security conference. all clients have been an issue in ukraine since the very stores 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 the aftermath of a russian attack in the northern ukrainian city of kenny 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 without wisdom. 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 english, she 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 china, he was a city under siege. russian forces were surrounding it and sheltered, almost daily. they destroyed power and water supplies. evidence of what happened is still visible, nearly 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. no city says the what happened on that day is a war crime, an indiscriminate attack on civilians who are on the property of coverage for law enforcement agencies. consider this a war calling 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. who were all, all this sir? mark thiel marks are the places of where rockets hit the buildings may be. marina sla bought yoke works with a 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. if we identified also the condo is sir cricket. all that could have been who might be liable and responsible for this very kind of attack. whether o leg creek in or another officer was responsible for the attack on the bread, 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 jenny heave ukraine. now earlier, james fall to abner kalamazoo, secretary gen on of amnesty international. he started my 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 he's, when he's 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 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. now ukraine's foreign minister also talked to the state in munich to reaffirm at school for more ammunition artillery and tags. ukrainian soldiers in the eastern city of buckminster,

they are still waiting for promised western weapons to arrive more. our western weapons to abide. they said it needed for a planned counter attack back motors right on the front line and surrounded by russian troops. and make sure you join us for us special coverage of the ukraine war at $1130.00 g empty. on sunday, february 19th. we'll explore how the war is affecting the global energy markets. ah, ah, took he and sylvia stood recovering after the devastating earthquakes that have left at least $46000.00 people dead. but even as rescue operations, wine down emergency cruise, a still finding survivors a couple with a child were rescued and hot, i and turkey on saturday. 13 days after the earthquakes, the victims were trapped under the rubble for 296 hours. but the child later died

in hospital. we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across southeast and took here and northwest syria. first, let's hear from acid bag and cut them on mirage on displace people trying to recover their belongings. they survived the earthquakes, but now the eager to save what's left today. oh, we will have to rebuild their lives and everything matters. what the more we 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. 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 normally we'd not looters were not looted that our own goods. they say i found this

. we will try to survive. all we have is lost. don't let them let live it 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, south of berman mirage. the search continues even at this stage, some clinging to hope as every one full silent rescue used 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 memory left nothing else left. it's all gone behind. this was my shops. all the families had gone. a page of the put on lives in the box in front of a tent. the mutual rivalry of this world diverts you until you visit the graves.

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 tent 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 kia 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 they be told from the rabble and sylvia has been taken in by her uncle's family baby after lost her parents and symbolic siblings. when the quake devastated the town of gin to death and had monahan has more baby ephra as being welcomed into her new home. her parents and siblings died when the quake struck her uncle coil wanted to take her in right away. but it 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 latha, enabled at that offer was born under the rubble shoes 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 offer was found under the ruins of her family's home. and indeed,

she was apparently born under the rubble 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. genderin is one of the towns that was worst hit by the earthquake as un convoy of more than a 140 trucks full of 8 arrived in northwest syria. officials made a point of visiting mirror. i'm shocked by this girl destruction. i've never seen anything like that in all my life. the sous needs of particular children, water before the fresh water. they have medical needs of your life. you know, really lucky has survivors of the quake wait, the help they need, they'll have to rely on each other more than ever. so it didn't. monahan al jazeera still ahead on the bulletin with one week to go on till nigeria is crucial. elections will tell you about one girl that critics say can influence the voice.

ah, the usa always of him for the people wrote the world. people pay attention to work with on here. and i'll just, he was very good at bringing the news to the world from here. the american people is focus of what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america, how much his social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics. the bottom line roches war in ukraine has dominated. well, he's for the past 12 months. devastating to those in the line of fire or directly impact and it has strengthened global alliances and deepened divisions with far reaching effects on the lives of billions of people. well, white in

a week had special coverage. al jazeera explored every aspect of the conflict. the human, the political and the economic and possibilities of resolution. ukraine was one year on. on out there, lou. ah, ah, watching audio would be in as the toronto in doha reminder of our top stores, the seller, the u. s. secretary of state has hell talk. china's top diplomat week soft and alleged chinese 5 balloon and to the american air space. anthony blank and told

when ye that american sovereignty should never be violated again. united states has made its most serious condemnation of russia accusing moscow of crimes against humanity in ukraine to us, vice president common harris made the comments at the munich security conference and emergency cruise, inter kia, have rescued, coupled with their child and how tie on saturday, 13 days after the earthquakes, the victims were trapped under the rubble of 296 hours. but the child later died and hospital now the sister of north korean leader kim jong vaughn has urged the u. s. to stop what she calls all acts threatening john gag security. the comments come just hours after north korea said it had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's defense ministry says the miss al landed and it's exclusive economic zone. brought mcbride has more from sole this miss l was launched late saturday afternoon, local time being fired from the area of soon and that's close to pyongyang. this is

a place from which a previous missile launches have taken place according to the japanese authorities . and they miss our flu for 900 kilometers landing in the seas separating the korean peninsula from japan around 200 kilometers short of the island of kato, but apparently reaching an altitude un apogee of nearly 6000 kilometers before coming back down to earth, which would mean that according to japan, 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 80

or so, missiles being tested on fire, 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. and us secretary state anthony blinking has called for more effective implementation of sanctions against north korea following the massage launch. so this is not yet again the rocker back by north korea in violation of multiple humans, group counsel resolutions we call on others to commend this action to take appropriate steps including the effective enforcement sessions. and so the result of these actions by a more 3,

it is simply to even further solidify the work that we do together of the alliance of the share and our commitment to the defense of our partners and ours. the rocket has struck a building and central at damascus. local report say it was fine by israeli forces . the building that was hit is said to be near a large security complex and close to iranian installations. several people have been injured. protests have been held against israel's coalition. government for a 7th successive weak, tens of thousands gathered in tennessee to demonstrate against a prime minister. benjamin netanyahu proposals to change the judicial system. he wants to limit the supreme court's. pallas, not in his ear, has expelled a european trade union confederation official from the country for taking part in protest against president cod sides policies. thousands demonstrated across

resources. they can choose 10 digits for political office. anybody as planning to be president, of course, you will have to dig route through the government because of the, a connectivity of the governor's anti grassroots. but critics an activist say such power weiss harming democracy and governors in nigeria, and they wanted reduced limiting their powers to require amendment to the constitution. i'm the electron more one with increasing number of governors getting elected into a parliament that's supposed to be strangers. neither is we have to wait longer for that to happen. so we're hoping these elections will mark a turn around with a woman. now the front runner for state governor posed a big step in a male dominated society. but until then, little it's expected to change part to politics and governors in africa's most populous country homage edris al jazeera. my degree jimmy
