all the work is studio b unscripted on al jazeera. russia's war in ukraine has dominated well, he's for the past 12 months. devastating to those in the line of fire or directly impacted. it has strengthened global alliances and deepens, divisions with far reaching effects on the lives of millions of people. well, white in a week had special coverage. al jazeera explores every aspect of the conflict, the human, the political, and the economic, and the possibilities of resolution. ukraine war one year on, on out there. ah,

the u. s. secretary of state meets china's top diplomat for the 1st time since the shooting down of been suspected surveillance. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera alive from dell, also coming tension saw on the korean peninsula of the north launch as yet another long range missile. a serene baby born in the earthquake rebel and often by the disaster finds me and parents and a dozen south african cheetah find a new home in central india in the bid to bring back the big caps. ah, you a secretary of state has told his chinese count about the violation of american a space by a suspected chinese spy balloon must never happen again. anthony blink unmet wine, ye munich? just a few weeks off the u. s. fighter jet shot the balloon down. beijing says it was

a weather balloon that blew, of course there was no apology. but what i can also tell you is this was an opportunity to speak very clearly. and very directly about the fact that china sent a surveillance balloon over our territory, violating our sovereignty, violating international law. and i told him quite simply that that was unacceptable . and can never happen again. were of course, not the only ones on the receiving end of the surveillance balloons. more than 40 countries have had these balloon fly over them in recent years. and that's been exposed to the world. my kind of has more now from washington d, thanks. just a couple of weeks after postponing his visit to china, the us secretary of state held a meeting with china's top diplomat wang ye. and it was made very clear that blunt words were exchanged between the 2 under discussion of course, that the balloon incident to which the us shot down, claiming it was a spy balloon,

a balloon which china said was there for the collection of weather data. after the meeting, the us 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 emphasize the importance of keeping open lines of communication. the great fear that has been expressed by the bite and ministration is that mistakes could occur. should there be no clear lines of communication between the 2 countries, but another issue added in there. clearly the balloon was not the only method discussed at the secretary of state making very clear that 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 the devil relations between the u. s. and china in the weeks and months to come. what chinese top diplomat has hit back down to me, blink, and saying, washington must mean the damage termination caused by the incident and the marcus on the sense of china and globalization. he says washington's engaging in double standards a weather balloon, collecting whether information certainly can have a military use or so i think it's very unclear here. and i think it's also important to point out that certainly the u. s. complaining about this violation of sovereignty does sound a little bit hypocritical. i mean we go back decades with the u. s. engaging in this kind of legit conduct all around the world. so i think we really should take

this out with a bit of a grain of salt, and there also is a narrative battle taking place here. and once upon a time, the u. s. certainly could credibly warn china war in any other country around the world. but i think the geopolitical realities are shifting and how, what a credible this warning is, i think remains to be seen as we see. not only china, but other countries around the world, increasingly able to act with a greater degree of autonomy free from usaa coersion. perhaps we could call it the sister of north korean leader kim johnson. as urge the united states to stop what she calls or acts threatening, young young security comments come just ours. up to north korea said it tested another intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's defense miniature says the missile landed in it's exclusive economic zone. robert bryan has more from so on pyongyang latest launch. they have in recent tasks been developing this technique whereby they deploy, set up a missile and fire it a lot,

jip fairly quickly. by doing that, you give your adversaries less chance to detect that you're launching a miss out to try to disrupt the missile launch or try to intercept is that they have been working on this. that technique. this is described by the north koreans has been a while long 15. this is one of the icbm in continental ballistic missiles. they have been developing it fell short of the northern japanese island of her kite, after flying around 900 kilometer east. most interesting though is the last, the trajectory of this miss, all, it flew up nearly 6000 kilometers to an altitude of nearly 6000 kilometers before falling down to earth. again, that's very similar to a trajectory for another icbm lloyd's last november, and they reckon that if you translate that into distance traveled over the usf is that would put the continental united states within rain. so this is a significant launch. the north korean say that they have carried this out. now as

part of that testing program, they resume their icbm testing from last year. but it also does send a message. they are angry about exercises that will be held between the south korean and us forces. this spring. so let's bring in mason richie. she's a north career specialist and associate professor of international politics at hancock, university of phone study, the joins of life on the south korean capital. mason good to be with us. let's talk 1st and if we can about this latest launch by north korea, how significant is it? and what message if the young young trying to center with all these missile launches? yes, so this is a significant launch. but i think it's not so much significant because of the underlying technology was long 15, you know, has been in some form likely deployed for a while now. and in that sense, what was interesting about the test was that north korea reports that the decision to launch this was given without warning to the launch curves. and so this doesn't

seem so much like it was a test, especially the underlying technology as it was a drill for the launch cruise. and i think we're going to see that going forward with some of the legacy systems that already exist in addition to testing programs for, you know, other missiles, especially solid fuel icbm. the message i think here is that north korea is not happy with the ramping up of the military exercises between the u. s. in south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a table top exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and south korea next week. and i think we're 3 sending a message that it is unhappy with that will spite fire fire, unless we've seen dozens of these launches over the past few years. but south korea, japan, and the us seem incapable of stopping these launches. so what happens when they get to the point where they say enough is enough? do we think they'll be some kind of military response? what can they do?

i think it's extremely unlikely that you're going to see a significant military response from the u. s. south korea alliance and much less japan for missile launches at least if by that you mean some type of strike they would hit north korean territory. presumably, depending on what type of launch it is. if perhaps it's a full trajectory as opposed to law that you project re icbm launch. there might be the possibility that you can imagine the united states trying to, to hit it with an interceptor. but i think that's also extremely likely because outreach, fairly provocative. i, frankly, these launches just indicate that honestly it's very difficult to try to rein in a rogue state that doesn't meet its international commitments. this is an extremely tough problem. we're going to see sanctions, obviously a b, b increase unilaterally. and we'll see the u. s. and his allies call out this bad behavior that breaks international law and international norms. that honestly, there's not a lot that you can do about it other than that. and we heard from kim jones sister

who want us to stop threatening north korea security. what do you make of her statement and also, mason her emergence onto the world stage and some reports suggest she's been groomed to actually take over from kim jones. yeah, so you know, she as kim jong and sister has a special role to play, not only institutionally, with in north korea where she does occupy some relatively high official positions, you know, but also unofficially as the spokes person in part for the, for the family raheem her message is consistent with what it is that we think they can regime and north korea, you know, as a, as a state think about the us, south 3 alliance which ultimately they would like to break apart. and so this message about the u. s. hostile policy, which of course is not, is consistent with north korea as messaging as for we know who we could see is the change, the successor to kim jong. i think it's far too early to say that it could be, you know, his sister kimmy john, or whether or not as we've seen recently in discussion about whether or not it

might be kim jong and daughter j a or someone else. first of all, you know, kim is in principle far away from, from being in a situation where a successor would be necessary. i smoke a lot. so if you'd ever wait, it was possible. but honestly, we don't know who it could be. could be her, could be someone else, my son rich, and we need to get your thoughts on your analysis. thank you very much for talking to us. thank. thanks for having me. ah takia and serious to recovering after the devastating earthquakes that left at least 46000 people dead. but even as rescue operations, wind down, emergency crews are still fighting survivors. a couple of with their child rescued and how tie province in turkey. on saturday, 13 days after the earthquakes, the victims were trapped under the rubble for 296 hours. the child though later died in hospital, but we have a team of correspondence covering the disaster across southeastern turkey,

a north west syria. first though, let's hear from us a bag in carmen, rush on to space, 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. work and what 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. 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 do. normally we'd not looters were not looted their own goods. they say after class on this off we will try to survive. all we have is lost,

their lives in them. 11 of 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 denman 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 something 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, got my, my rush 7 to clear as one of those intense cities, another 200000 displays, people in turkey sheltering and guest houses, university dormitories and sports halls. for them. kasicoda has more not from anchor a brief moment of joy for the children outside of durham to campus in and kirk. but inside, there's an anxious way by the adults there said terrified and still shocked after experiencing last. monday's 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 her so. so we on the, we woke up to huge shaking and noise,

it was flashing everywhere. we had no electricity, but we were able to see each other as if it was day time. sure. well 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 hid 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 return on the let him with.

unfortunately we left all our memories youth, childhood future and hope that everything behind and came here and talk here is totally destroyed. but we will return to our city. we will revive this city of civilization gated energy. even though most of these people lost their everything. they haven't lost their hope to see another day, at least for their children to rebuild one day. they are not sure when that they will come, but they are aware they have a long way to go with the non custodial parent, a 0 on her and a baby pull from the rubble in syria has been taken in by her uncle's family baby after our last our parent siblings, when the quick devastated town of gentleness and monahan stories the baby after being 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 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. i was found under the ruins of her family's home and 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 gender. it is one of the towns that was worst hit by the earthquake as un convoy 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 it all my life needs shelter before these fresh water. they have

medical, the 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, a rocket has struck a building in the heart of serious capital, damascus look report st was fired by his rainy 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. let's not, let's come here and i'll just hear, including the united states has formerly determined that russia has committed crimes against humanity. tough words on the u. s. vice president nearly a year on since invasion of cray. and with just a week to go until nigeria elections will tell you about one group, critics a can influence diverse morning

ah hello, we have a fresh breeze blowing along the gulf at the moment to stare fresh shamal making it feel really quite chilly despite those temperatures 2122 degrees celsius is still should be a lossy dry place to say, but lifted dust the sand, something to watch out for just the some snow across northern parts of afghanistan, a chance to some snow to just around northern areas of to kia 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 said that some small consolation so little more widespread across northern areas as we go on into monday. meanwhile, across northern parts of africa lost dry hey,

wanted to shout over to was the northwest. and then we have got this course. if hamilton winds still bring a fair bit of dust into a good part of west africa law, the shell is continue. may mon, across central and southern parts of southern africa and heavy showers around at east side of south africa. it is empower way into most and big. just noticed this developing system all that is tropical cyclone. freddy is pushing towards the madagascar as you go on through the next couple of days. as he pushes in mid wake, it is likely to cause widespread flooding with damaging winds. ah, with oil companies, the biggest companies in the world had a very deep understanding of the climate crisis before the rest of us. and yet they did not tell anyone else. that's where the crimes 40 years of denying their own scientific evidence. i thought that i could import them to change their business plan. this was very naive decisions that have plagued our future. it's just pure

evil. i don't know what to say. big oils big lies ought to on a j 0 lou . ah, welcome back. i forgot about top stories here on al jazeera emergency cruise in turkey. you have rescued, coupled with that child in how tight province on saturday, 13 days after the quakes, the victims were trapped under the rubble for 296 hours. the child the like to die in the hospital. the north korean leader kim jumped him. sister has the us to stop what she calls all threatened killing young security comments came just ours. up to north korea said it tested another intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's

defense ministry says the missile landed in it's exclusive economic zone. and the u . s. sector of states as hell talks with china's top diplomatic just weeks off to an alleged chinese spy balloon. entered american aerospace blink until one year in american sovereignty should never be violated again. for the meeting between the top just about so the us and chime that came on the side lines of a security conference in munich with a bite and administration leveled its 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.

not diplomatic editor james base, is that the munich security conference war crimes 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 china. if we're 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 kennedy. 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, 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.

if 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 china, he was a city under siege. russian forces were surrounding it and shelled it almost daily . they destroy 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 rice in the middle of a residential area and we're prosecuted. my city says the what happened on that day is a war crime and indiscriminate attack on civilians who are on the property of coverage for law enforcement agencies. consider this 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. who were all all this sir?

mark thiel marks are the places of where rockets hit the bill in may. the marina slow boat 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. have we identified also the condo dessert brigade? i'll 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 tiffany heave ukraine. when the cranes foreign minister also took the stage and munich to reaffirm his country's call for more ammunition artillery and tongues, cranium soldiers in the eastern, new se, they're still waiting for more western weapons to arrive back, move on the front line and the surrounding by watching troops or some pure electric war studies at king's college, london, he says, western assistance to ukraine won't last forever. i think there's a budget tree way of thinking about this. the u. s. government has provided $30000000000.00 us dollars in security assistance in the last year. since 24 february, i don't think the u. s. government is going to be able to sustain that level of funding indefinitely into the future. perhaps certainly for this year, but then they're election gleaming. so there's not one side of it. there's another side which is as the debates are shown, european military colon totally,

to plead their own arsenals and their own stocks of things like bang battle tanks. so there's probably going to be a big push by both rushed around ukraine militarily this year. and i think towards the middle towards maybe the end of this year, we'll get a real sense of how much both science can actually points to achieve their goals on the battlefield. and you can join us for our special coverage of the war and ukraine at $1130.00 gmc on sunday, february 19th. we'll explore how the war is affecting the global energy market. not to miss. he has expelled a european trade union officials from the country for taking part in a protest against president chi sides policies. thousands demonstrated across to marcia on friday that he was the president of stifling basic freedoms and blame him for a worst. and economy said shut down parlin more than a year ago and seized most power. members who are to say that mister president does not want dialogue. he has ignored all parts of the political and social parties.

one of the union has been absent. also, he did call every one off and governs a learned nothing. but this is not a democratic weights of government and the country cannot progressing this way. yet the political parties in nigeria have wrapped up their final campaign rally the head of a general election next week. the critics of raise concerns about state governors having too much influence on the vote. are desirous augment it or support now from i do agree elections are only days away. nigeria, the presidency and seats in parliament are being contested. but critics, one group is having too much influence on the vote state governors. i think a lot of anger about governance, mit actually goes to these governors because the impunity of this governors, the army. so all the a bad governance is part of the pain that my chance i glean troy says nigeria is returned to democracy night to night. tonight we are state governors,

have employers who becomes president with full access to state funds and resources . the can choose tended it for political office, anybody as bad in to be president. of course you will have to dig route to would you go from was because of the a connectivity of the governor's anti grasses. but critics an activist say such power weiss harming democracy in governors in nigeria, and they wanted reduced limiting their powers to require amendment to the constitution. and the electron law one was increasing number of governors getting elected into a parliament that's supposed to be dangerous. neither is we'll have to wait longer for that to happen. so we're hoping these election sort of 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
