1st time since accusing beijing of the fly. your spy book and over u. s. military sites. ah, i'm know about this in, and this is al jazeera alive from dough hob, also coming up security officials and more leaders, meat and munich for the last day of a conference focusing on the war in ukraine. he could have so many multiple psychological problems like depression, major depression, p t, a. the survivors of to us breaks into kia and syria speak of the experience of living through the disaster. leaders meet in ethiopia for day 2 of the a you so much calling for african solutions to african problems. ah, you, i, secretary of state has met your chinese diplomat,

one ye and munich for the 1st time since washington accused beijing of sending a spider into its aerospace us fighter jets shot down the balloon over the atlantic earlier this month and to the bank and says he made it clear that violations of american aerospace must never happen again. lying is calling the response hysterical insisting it was a weather balloon blew off 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 center 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. where 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. mike kinda has more from washington dc, 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. when china's top diplomats responded, saying, washington must men the damage to relations caused by the incident. and the mom is the senior research fellow with the center for china and globalization. the says washington is engaging a double standards, a weather balloon, collecting weather information, certainly can have a military use are. so i think it's very unclear here. and i think it's also important to point out that certainly up 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 do 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. i'll. 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. that meeting happened on the sidelines of a security conference in munich, who are china seen a senior diplomat also announced that beijing would propose

a peace plan for ukraine on the anniversary of the war. western leaders have responded cautiously, which is surely wish our hotel. she may be some forces that do not want peace talks to succeed. do not want the war to stop any time soon, or what they care about is not the life and the death of the ukrainian people, nor the increasing damage to europe. they probably have bigger strategic goals than ukraine. this war can't go on any longer. if russia stops fighting, and we hope this is supply also from china next week, when they propose their peace program, call on rushes to stop fighting because then this war is over. but if we ukraine stops defending itself. and this could be another plea. then ukraine is over and we cannot accept this be cast. then also the court of united nations is over. our diplomatic editor, james bayes has been speaking to leaders at the munich security conference for the

war in ukraine, has been the top of everybody's mind. as you might expect here to be an extra caught, here's 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 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 concerned, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine. 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 presidency 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 keep 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 pizza city, and they are used to do the procurement and to have the funding and important it's like we did with a vaccine to be very clear. this is a standardized production of ammunition. what is it, what you need to scale up to speed up? we're going to give it to you. there's also concern here not just about the war in ukraine,

but about moldova and the possibility of russia trying to destabilize moldova recently, president zalinski said that he del uncovered a plot to try morcia qu in moldova, it's something i raised with nato secretary general. yet sultan burke, we are concerned because we have seen arthur, russia ah, are responsible for her career shipple as is against her will go on the energy supply. they're using that as a as a means to try to, to, to, to, to pressure of moldova. so just highlights that there are those countries which are, as you sometimes says in between those in between russia, nato, they are in that bundle position while door was george on of course ukraine. and that's one reason why it is important to support these countries. now, one of the reasons why you crane was able to perform the way it has in the, in the afternoon rush innovation will start in april analyze,

provided support your frame starting in 2014. so the ukranian on was better equipped to bet the lead that but the train that now done in 2014 and therefore also more capable over repelling the russian effects. so if anything, we should support you law georgia now on the front lines of the war in ukraine. moscow says its forces are making gains in the regions of khaki and castle on saturday, russia and claim to have taken control of the village of gun kafka near khaki. it's ukraine's 2nd largest city. moscow has been pushing its advance in the area since ukraine reclaimed control of the city in september. you could join us for our special coverage of ukraine war coming up at 1130 g m t h. or going to explore how the conflicts affecting the global energy markets. ah, ah, to northern sylvia now for

in social way that you think you, we could have so many multiple, a psychological problems like depression, major depression, bts deep in some, a personality disorders, even the psychologist say in the upheaval of the earthquakes aftermath, children are particularly vulnerable to miss you. go visit, i'm get, you know, think of of our youngest daughter is going through a difficult time. she was with her grandmother when she died. think she went crazy being outside in the rain alone while we try to reach her. we're trying to heal ourselves. god willing, we will. the president of the turkish red crescent says it's ability to provide mental health services to survivors is quote, humble, considering the enormous need required in the coming weeks, months and years. and that's why sustained international aid is essential. people repeatedly say they're feeling hopeless and helpless. but over time,

experts say their collective trauma can also lead to a communal healing. natasha name al jazeera and tucker turkey. the other claims have affected a wide area across sullen tortilla, and northern syria. thousands of despite people are living in camps and are completely dependent on aid. awesome big has more from common mulash me at the epicenter of one of the quakes. they survived the earthquakes, but now the eager to save what's left today. all of them will have to rebuild their lives and everything, but it wasn't because you to take out your belongings. the municipality, record brother, his phone was under the bravo. how you going to reach it? took a lifetime to accumulate what people had it was taken away in a matter of minutes. not what we would be upset about our belongings. i wish all of

we want to go to 0 reminder of our top stories this. so the u. s. secretary of state has met senior chinese diplomats, wine ye and munich for the 1st time since washington accused beijing of sending a spy bottom into its air space. antony blinkin says violations of american aerospace must never happen again. why is calling the response hysterical. what leaders? a meeting for the final day of the munich security conference, the president of the european union commission has called for urgent access to our munition and financial aid. ukraine, united nations team has visited the rebel held town of gin that it is in northern sylvia. more than 5000000 people have been left homeless after last week's earthquakes. the un has been criticized for its response. african leaders are gathering in ethiopia capital for the final day of the african union summit. dogs are expected to focus on trade, humanitarian issues and violence,

and democratic republic of congo. and this a hell region. speaking at the summit on saturday, un secretary general until you tell us an answer $250000000.00 to fund crisis. it areas it on the will to they city ended city, $9000000.00 people are in need of him at that he needs an increase of more than 25 percent since last year. and so to day here in our this, i am now seeing the largest live at a location from oral united nation, centrally emergency response funds to one. but it's $50000000.00 to come, but semen and to address and funded emergencies of more than this were joined live by marco web from the ethiopian capital, who's covering the summit of forest, malcolm at 200 and $50000000.00. sounds like a great deal of money, but of course there must be questions about whether it's going to be enough

one of the worst crises affecting the continent, but particularly this region at the moment is the drought for in some places 5 rainy seasons have been nested the worst drought in decades affecting more than 30000000 people across east africa and the horn of africa. most of them a here in ethiopia, in neighboring somalia, 3 decades of conflict, destroyed the ones effective irrigation infrastructure system. now, one institution has been investing in infrastructure across the continent for about 6 decades. is the african development bank. now it was in the 19 sixty's that the organization of african unity, the predecessor of the african union. that's where we are now founded the bank with a mandate to invest in development programs across the continent and to draw capital from across the world. and historically, it's invested a lot in infrastructure now with me, it's presidents. acu me. i asked, you know,

thanks for joining us. thanks mike. i'm so understand has been a change of plan and now you're looking at agriculture. what is the plan? well present from it's very important for africa to feed itself. and secondly, because africa seats on 65 percent of all the oncology, but at our table and left of the world, you know, it's important that africa looks that potential. and that's why in the last 70 years and i've been president of the bank invested with about $20000000000.00 in agriculture, increasing productivity of agriculture, making sure you can have irrigation a lot more infrastructure and supporting farmers and banks to be able to lend modal agriculture so i was just listening to you as we are doing to in so as you know, we have dr. been a major issue. now, one of the things a bank has actually done as to help to support the development of a technology that can actually res, resist each for example. and you saw in this country as a success story. what is that? absolutely. you know, we provided it up here with huge amount of seeds of it's

a but there hit tolerant with varieties, so allowed it to be able to raise the area or to bid it on that it's hitler. and we'd brightest from all a 5000 actors in 2018 to over 1400000 actors to day and to prime minister b to appeared as ma'am, it launch a program to make is you appear in an exporter of wit, in a virtual navy. exporting week, but as the u. n says, there are more than 10000000 people here who are food insecure, so something's not working. well actually it is working. what you have is that you will always happening for humanitarian assistance. as you know, they're just coming out of conflict in which in the tigress area. they have a lot of people that need to continue to have that. so there's no doubt about the human at around one or structurally is a tremendous success for africa. we've done that also in sudan, so that caught his wit, import down by 50 percent in your 3 years. and when that of course, the reader it, we talking about communities of tens of millions of people. if survived in the same way for for millennia. and many of them herders and that way of life's been

destroyed by climate change, that these people are too poor to afford to buy the food that's in the market. and many them can't be reached because of conflicts which still are resolved. so investment in stable arable areas still doesn't help them, does it? what it does because you know, i don't see the future of africa lies in begging for food. the future lies and actually put in a seed in the ground up dis, farmers to produce their food. but you know, the old is your climate change is also very important. africa loses to day $7.00 to $15000000000.00 a year because of climate change from droughts. of lords and, and also a low cost swarms that your to, i've already covered. and so as african developing been, we are very active in this. we've launch what is called the african adaptation acceleration program. is that we did global sent on adaptation, which is a $25000000000.00 program to support african countries to be able to adapt to climate change. it is a largest such effort globally to be able to do this. so we've also helped this
