2:00 pm
is sirens sounded here in cuba that will approve of the precedent bite of his team . but this is your country, a war, but i mean, the returns are effective of daily life for people here living in ukraine's capitol . yes, not only in ukraine can capital all over the country because at the moment the red alert is all over ukraine. if you look at the, the map at this particular moment, it is an ongoing war. things could happen at any time. i remember last year actually do you and secretary general antonio gutierrez was here and while he was visiting well, there was an air strike here. aim keith. i am supposing that this is a visit of brandon joe biden was and announced, but i'm sure things have been beefed up do protective capital as long as he's here . but for the rest of the country, this is business as usual. and on the other side,
2:01 pm
at the beginning of the way of an air saran would go on, everybody would run to the closest shelter to the closest subway. that doesn't happen anymore because people got used to it, which is also quite dangerous because this is a volatile situation all the time. so it's become a way of life is become a way of live, where you see children, they don't panic anymore. so yes, but the war is ongoing, and those air sirens are a daily reminder that the war is ongoing. hold up for the moment. many thanks. indeed, it is 1100 hours g m t. this is out a 0 alive from ukraine's capital keeps keep stands ukraine, the stanz. i'm democracy stands. i was the message from u. s. president joe biden, as he made an unannounced visit to the ukrainian capital just days out from the start. from that rather from the 1st anniversary of the conflict,
2:02 pm
the u. s. is provided ukraine with a new military aid package worth some $500000000000.00. ukraine's presidents anatomy zalinski says that russia has no chance to win. okay, he's gone and many kinds hidden, awesome osama of st. louis, this is really the most important visit in the whole history of the ukraine u. s. relationship. this is a visit in this most difficult period for ukraine when ukraine is fighting for our own liberty as for the liberties of the world. ask, and this underlines the results that we have already achieved. lee and the historic achievements we might gain altogether with the whole world or the united states with euro. oh, my caught colleen got hotter, abdel how made is what just out there in the square around the corner here in central keith honda. this is exactly what the ukrainian leadership will want to be seeing right now, is there?
2:03 pm
yes, absolutely. i think the president, lindsey has always been asking for more and at a quicker pace. this is the president who has been communicating with his people and with the world really on a daily basis and more or less throughout the last year. his daily message was we need more help. we need quicker help, and each time it may be raising the stakes and how more sophisticated weapons, long, long range and weapons move more anti tank and munitions, more air defense systems. he also wants. he's also discussing the, the, he's trying actually to get a bit to have some jet fighters delivered. so this is a president who knows that this is this war at least, gives the impression that he thinks that this war will last quite a long time. but he keeps on pressing of the need of this know of weapon that is coming in to continue to come in. he has expressed in the past few times,
2:04 pm
frustration, thinking that need to sometimes was too slow to deliver. thinking that maybe he was exaggerating his demands or that things were not going as the way he liked it. so today at least he is going to be satisfied by the fact that joe biden was here, is here rather. and he is promising him to deliver these this a new defense package, direly needed as people, as i said earlier, all wondering if this war is going to enter a new phase in the coming days. as we approach the one year anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine for the money. thank cindy. then sir. hodder abdel, how made to here in central keith, that's all from the ukrainian capital for the moment. but so let's get more reaction now to president vitamins visit from kerry johnston in doha kerry. adrian,
2:05 pm
thank you very much indeed. well for more on this sat visit, let's get the view from moscow and sullivan's of it joins us now. the kremlin can't be very happy about biden's aunt's henry that look carrie. there is a 2 aspects to how you will see the reaction in moscow. obviously, this is not going to be welcome from the kremlin that the unit us president is in key vile. it continues what it called a special operation where keith continues to accuse moscow off waging a war and accused of troops for carrying out crimes. but there is the other aspect of this that this is happening just to 24 hours ahead of the very important state of the union address from the russian president where he is going to tell his audience, the people of russia that he is fighting an international hedge many of sorts
2:06 pm
raging a proxy war against russia. remember that russia has always insisted that it had to go to war because it could not sustain the level of hostilities that it was seeing accumulating on its border from near to and the rest in the line. said you're by didn't visit ahead of the anywhere 3 is going to reinforce that view. and this is something that we expect that the president of lot to me to put in vote, referred to in his address. and this, so far as we know, official reaction from the kremlin are the russian foreign ministry. 5 but it is not difficult to guess what it is going to be, especially at a timing when last year. the president's address resulted right after hours after that address. russian forces went into ukraine. uninstalled moscow is hosting an important guest of its own later today, the chinese state counsellor, when ye, what's likely to be on the agenda rather than well
2:07 pm
as the anniversary she draws closer, you can see that these lines are becoming clear, not just on the backing front but also in the diplomatic field, it is quite the contrast to see the u. s. president in cave and the top chinese diplomat. the, the head of the for the 1st committee of the chinese communist party in law school . talking about his relationship with russia. something that we heard in the last few days in brussels as well, where the u. s. has been accusing china off both string, moscow or something that china has denied and said that it will not accept the finger wagging from the united states because the only state which is supplying weapons to the ukrainian conflict is the united states. so it is high stakes for all sides. as this anniversary comes closer, as you see, a frenzy of diplomatic activity be heard from the chinese saying that they are going to continue to try and find a solution. a so called chinese peace plan is in the offering that they will make public near the time of the anniversary. and we've heard from the russian
2:08 pm
presidential spokesman thing that he's not ruled out meeting president vladimir putin as well. so as the world a hears from cuba, from brussels and from washington, that moscow stand alone and the world stand united, it is important for moscow to show that it also has prominent important friends who continue to stand by some of the java life person must go thank you, staying with this, let speak to our diplomatic editor, james bayes in brussels. now, james, it's almost one year wrong from the anniversary of the start of the ball. so quite some moment for surprise biden visit to ukraine. oh absolutely, and i think it really does send quite a powerful message, the e u foreign ministers all were actually in the meeting that meeting had already started before president biden will seem for the 1st time in keith. we did have
2:09 pm
a question this morning though they were supposed to be meeting the ukrainian foreign minister to meet for labor, and he didn't turn up his part of this trip to brussels was cancelled. now we know why it's because of president a biden's trip to keep. we've not any reaction from the foreign ministers of the you but a little bit later into that meeting they were joined by the deputy prime minister of foreign minister of moldova. the cooper pass q. now moldova is a country that claims it's on the hybrid war. it says that russia is trying to destabilize that country. so it was interesting to speak to minutes to pass through about the biden trip because he suddenly knew about it and was prepared to talk about it. and he said it sent a very powerful signal to moscow not just with regard to you crying, but also with regard to his country. mold over in any d stabilization of over, in terms of the foreign ministers meeting at the moment they are discussing where
2:10 pm
they go with it's very important one year mark and picking up on what a summer was just saying in moscow. one of the concerns is china. now there's a positive which i mentioned, which is the idea that china is potentially going to come up with some sort of piece plan. and we're hearing that maybe that will come out on the anniversary itself on friday. but there's also more concerning tool for the european leaders here. and that's the idea that china might start sending weapons to russia. that's certainly a warning that's come from the us secretary state anthony blink and i spoke to a number of the foreign ministers here. they say they're very concerned about it. they say there will be consequences if, if it happened. i also spoke to the you hi representative joseph burrell about that idea. he said, if china was to stop, send the weapons to russia, then that will be crossing a red line, but he added the meaning security conference just in the last few days. he's been speaking to y and z who's now in moscow. the my senior member of china's foreign
2:11 pm
policy administration and a member now of the politburo. and he says, he was assured by why he that they weren't going to send weapons. but it's certainly something that's concerning people here in brussels. and james, you foreign minister there in brussels, clearly another opportunity to strongly demonstrate solidarity with keith solidarity and also support. um and we've seen this similar patton, i think throughout this last year that keep, keeps asking for things. europe says, we'll think about it, delays for some time and then gives it. so we've seen a progression from light weapons to heavy weapons to artillery tanks. now the focus is on potentially on fighter jets. that's that the thing that, that the key is asking for. now and for now, the nato and european leaders are saying, well, we'll think about it,
2:12 pm
but not yet. but there is, i think, another urgent issue on the agenda, which is re supplying some of these weapons systems that are already there in terms of the ammunition. and the particular concern is about the artillery and the artillery shells. because currently we're told that the ukrainian artillery are using more shells at a faster rate than they can be manufactured by western factories. and what we've learned now is that there's going to be a meeting in the next 24 hours. that's going to take place here in brussels, the e, u. nato. we think the ukrainians, we understand it's supposed to be the foreign minister calibre. we're not sure whether i'll make it back and keep in in time. but an important meeting in 24 hours time to try and solve this issue, or try and get some progress on this issue of re supply of ammunition and particularly artillery shells to the frontline, particularly in the east of ukraine. james, that with that update, thank you very much indeed. but as part of our special coverage, marking
2:13 pm

2:14 pm
directly impacted. it has strengthened global alliances and deepened divisions with far reaching affects 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 here on, on, out there. the whole world is affected by them. and the influence each other. they are critical conditions for the survival of all life forms and a must for a sustainable human life. yet there equilibrium is threatened by crises all around the world. climate change and human rights are the focal discussion points of an international conference held by the national human rights committee in kotor,
2:15 pm

considering sending arms to russia. well, now is more of what us present. joe biden had to say a short time ago in chief one year later, keith stanish and ukraine stands. democracy stands. the american stands with you, and the world stands with you. key has captured a part of my heart. i must say. o, a joy by selling a mark off. he's a fullness spokesman for russian president vladimir putin and is not director of the institute of political studies. he joins us from moscow. very welcome to the program. what do you think most cuz we action will be to buttons is and probably know what action ah, oh it's, i would say is that correct? so already happened because joe barger come to keep on the was best guarantee or security or will i get
2:17 pm
a chance that it will be no rock at and try to keep doing visits or job by them to do? it's exactly what's happening, of course it in ski, switch on out of show wake information possible side, but everybody here owns a tv that, that it's all the people who got around it and by the opposite it's about 10 years sounds because they sure if you minutes say something, if hundreds are true and russian, i'm going to put them all on the promise. and so after that extra what i just got going to change your policy or you're going in the government. the american government must,
2:18 pm
didn't expect. and you change your night said oral contin with war against russia. ukraine and the government will continue to be part bit a resume and proxy army or the united states of america. and tell or give russian people in your game will continue by keith is in what you may call the timing though of biden's visit if it's clearly significant, isn't it? ah, is it a timing because a significant because it's just one day before i put you put the speech to the nation and those are absent problem. and it's also a few days before on the visceral or was think of what i submitted to recreation. and of course, as this is really talking to joe biden vision, it's also important that domestic us for what's it because we know that job wide and want to run for the next president. so that age and
2:19 pm
a lot of people inside this democratic party believe the approval of joe biden, physically and mentally not able to be on the 2nd president. so, but it, it didn't yet, but now, joe biden show good. well, that is very much invaded with conditions, and it will be, it's pretty cool. not to face was the next for yes, so it was a big victory or joe biden ins, domestic politics. is this not also a major diplomatic, based for ukraine's for them, as lensky itself was a big support. all? no job. i them to like him. it is it in this case, but it's really bad to use as it will be you know, people because the main reason, joe, by them visa key if you could, and yes that ukrainians should die and kill,
2:20 pm
you could kill russians and dies themselves. so it's been useful, you can so, i mean that's as it's wat ukraine, according to joe, by the plans for the endless and so kill in congress will 1000 you can use it as a survey. monica, thank you very much for joining us here with out there. today ah m no, it's been 2 weeks since 2 powerful earthquakes hit sudden turkey, ear and northern syria. devastating both countries. rescue efforts have been called off and almost all of the affected turkish provinces. within 46000 people have been confirmed dead, and tens of thousands of buildings have been flatten. world health organization says 26000000 people in both countries, desperately need help. or some of those people live in that remote villages that

2:22 pm
many unanswered questions, freely and emotionally ha moment because i want to get out to those. so we've now come back to the village my road to find those answers. as soon as we arrive, we find out lu and morning. as if we're going out is receiving condolences after losing her daughter and 3 grandchildren earlier stick and we were terrified we couldn't escape. i fell down the stairs, it was shaking so badly. wherever you look, the earthquake has left its mark on the landscape on houses. and of course on people's minds. authority say they're going to start reconstruction efforts in a matter of weeks. or clearly it's going to be a long process. i assume st for elephant baton cache time is in short supply. we caught a glimpse of baton the day we flew in on a helicopter. we tracked him down to hear his story in irish dash it. what do i do? where shall i go?
2:23 pm
ah, well yes, my blood pressure is rising. i am ill, indiana bore this tractor was my right hand. it's gone her li, i build this house. i invested in this house. it's all gone. i'm 8 years old. senior barbara dora jeffery, the elderly couple live alone in a tent supplied by the authorities. her home and her sense of security lie crushed outside. it's difficult to imagine the terror people felt as their homes came crashing down. unless you mohammed shaheen, the 16 year old miraculously survived not only the earthquake, but 2 days trapped in the rubble of his own home. poplar, monsieur, i heard a terrible sounds like an explosion yet i fell off my beds and it went thorn. i watched them, there was a lot of dust and there was a concrete block on me as i could not feel my feet from the cold. and i thought i
2:24 pm
was going to die. memories like that a hard to a raise from your mind. this is a teenager who dreams of a little piece of mind and a little more food in his tent. it just savages. we just need a little more grains and water and give it, sheila love them. plethora. these are delivering food tents and on this day, firewood to a moment of relief or fun for the kids. much harder to deliver on the back of a truck, though the blades of our helicopter did the trick a few days earlier. it's heartbreaking. the look down of these kids while waving out on that day we couldn't do more than exchange away from the window. almera was, but to day we exchanged hugs on the same spot, a smile, a laugh, and a little light brightens up the horizon. sam is a than al jazeera oh clue to look here. while i still said our joys,
2:25 pm
us live now from the actual wazoo at border crossing near and takia province, sir. what's the latest you can tell us on the ground where you are? well here since 2 weeks, we have seen that the thousands of families trained to pass to through their board there and go back inside syria and also the and also more than a 1000 dead bodies as well. now also you can see that steel, some of the families and syrian refugees who have been living in turkey, are now trying to get into a, into syria. the normally through the last year. the government of turkey has been damped, entered in that than the cillian averages to enter celia, however, after the earthquake hid the region, now they are allowed to good dick to go there. but there are some of the conditions once they got in celia, they have to stay there at least 3 months. and the maximum length of the stay in, in syria, is going to be just 6 months,
2:26 pm
if any of them that at the end of missed that deadline, they will not be able to come back because turkish government is going to consider them. those who will entirely got back to their country. so it's quite a little bit delicate issue for them. i was just talking to some of them and they were pretty concerned that they might lose their residence permit in trickier. and as the election also is just approaching, as is come in just into manns and ceiling issues in turkey is now a very delicate issue during this pres daschle and generalization campaign. so they are quite concerned here through the last 2 weeks, a one power more than 1500. that buddies belonging to cd of average is her past to do this border gate and also more than 7000 people out there went to the g. g beggars aboard the christina, this is just one of them. and of course there are other border crossings as well that many civilians passed and they did their, their did that. but his had been taken back to cedar to be buried in dear her in
2:27 pm
their home country. and this people, when i talked to them, the said that they're getting back to syria because the 1st they want to meet up said the survivors. they relatives. and also to attend the that the funerals off their loved ones and to perform theirs. la, they have lost duties. on the other side of, of syria, i just recently have been there. and you can see that the people are really in need and this, they are angry, they are sad. they said that the international community has forgotten them roughly . as of now, there are around 6000 people, dave dead that, that died into at chris in syria. and also 150000 people have been displaced. so when you look at the syrians and did the tragedies that they're still on fall in here, you can see that is almost like a never ending circle of losing and restarting again or so said are thank you very much for update. north korea has fire
