of love, oh no, just iraq. this is the image of hong kong, the damsels visitors, a bustling, glamorous city. but on the ground, a different reality appears. official figures released in november show the number of people experiencing homelessness is the highest in a decade and is a shop rise in the number of women experiencing housing insecurity. that report also said there's need for better services and more funds for hostile accommodation as the situation was, since it's the middle of winter here in hong kong, and the temperature often drops below 10 degrees at night. people in this underpass of repairing for another night exposed to freezing conditions. ah. ready but important trading route is

disrupted of detention slab between pockets on the gallery stone. i'm at the bottom of the border where thousands of drugs are now offered a closure of main border truck. ah, hello robin. you are watching. i was there like my headquarters here in doha, also coming up china and russia hold high level talks in moscow, month to year on from the start of the war in ukraine. falls to dig with bad hands through what's left of their homes, syrian still in need of aid. after recent quakes and shedding lines on dark matter, scientists have unlocked the biggest secret of the universe. ah, welcome to the program, thousands of trucks of ground to hold the major border crossing between bunker

thought and they've got us on. they don't come crossing has been closed since sunday evening. and gunfire was reported on monday. a provincial taliban official told a news agency that bug is found had not allowed 6 people to cross the treatment focused on has not commented so far. come all hide a has will from the border between the 2 countries. there are collins of trucks on both sides of the border. these drivers have fetish items on board the truck, which i've got going to be race date and they're going to be a dr. large. they're waiting on the road sides throughout the hybrid body. and you can imagine the meandering rogue. busy all lined up with container drugs rate drug carrying fresh fruits and vegetables. all kinds of items that i've got means are delay because there is no certainty as to when that border will open the avalon side of god. saying that budget on ignore de heading to the agreement

they made budget on. on the other hand, i've taken extra steps in order to ensure that dead noise filtration across the border, particularly after the attack on day police. compound and ridge about 100 people. and i've got now i had lead to more strangers measured on the border, but this is an emotional issue because people and i've run on our dependent for medical treatment on august on the side that is that your mentor daddy, an issue. we have been told that several patients have died waiting for that medical treatment. so the on site then deciding to close the border. now we are told that although there were attempts to try to solve that problem to negotiations so far, there has been no headway. the

well, trying to stop deploy one years, holding talks in moscow with russian foreign minister siggler off trying to says it stands on russia's invasion of ukraine is neutral. they says he's last, stop on a day international toll that included visits to france, italy, and hungry. and to the music security conference that's getting all this from one correspondence on the java who's in moscow for us of it important meeting for whitening ye in moscow. what do we expect him to say either? well, as you've heard from maggie in the last few days that china wants to play the role of an arbiter of peace that wants to being the 2 sides close to the negotiating table. it wants to play this neutral role. but there is symbolism in one being here . he's not just the former foreign minister, but he's now the director of the committee. the foreign affairs committee at the chinese come into spotty. he's the top diplomat, if we can call him not in china. so it does send

a message that china stands with moscow at this hour of moscow's need, as moscow's being isolated elsewhere. it does send the message that china is going to try and play the role of a friend or not just in neutral arbiter. so he's met, so gay lover of today, china has been floating this so called security plan and another plan for to find peace between the 2 sides. there are reports that this has been circulated to keep as well and will be unveiled closer to our on the day of the anniversary. but of course, china is very important when it comes to moscow, not just because of symbolism, but also because of the harsh sanctions that russia has been facing from the west. and because of help from china and its central asia and allies, it's been able to circumvent most of them, a call so close to home to where you are. so the strong reaction from the russian government to biden's speech in poland less than 24 hours ago. i mean, what's the government been saying?

oh, you just heard this morning from the security council there shouldn't state security council dmitri medford have very a strong reaction to a bite and speech calling it a pack of lies. seeing that he was addressing the russian people while standing in poland and saying, calling a bizarre. but towards the end of his speech, there is a do really interesting quote. and if i can quote him directly, he says that to paraphrase the expression that biden's said in war so that if russia stops its invasion, the war will stop. and if moscow, if cave stops for a defending themselves, it will be the end of ukraine. to that, he says, this is a redefined lie and the truth is quite different. according to moscow, fresher stops the expression military operation without achieving victory. russia will cease to exist, it will be torn to pieces, while the u. s. stops supplying weapons to the key of regime, the war will come to an end. so you see that both sides seem to be on a very different tangent when it comes to what their version of peace is. how will

the war stop? and as you've heard from president vladimir putin seeing and pulling out suspending, rather than you start treaty as well, that they do seems to be no close and insight to this one year conflict in ukraine for the up there. thanks very much was i've been job bid for us there in moscow that's cross over to beijing now, where katrina, you is standing by katrina trying his relationship with russia has sort of come under deep scrutiny really since the invasion of ukraine, i mean, continues to tout this sort of no limits, friendship with russia, despite the suspicion that it raises. that's right. china's global image certainly has taken a battering from its enduring relationship with russia. but we have to remember, there are number a number of very important things that baiting does get from having such close pies with moscow. one is very cheap and reliable. imports of energy, china relies and russia for cheap imports of gas and oil. second is

a peach for northern neva, and 3rd is a very reliable friend. it's corner that shed beijing's world view china and the communist parties specifically is working and really wants to reshape the global order into one where the u. s. and other democratic western countries are less influential because that will give china more new way to pursue its own interests, for example, in the south trying to see and around tie one. so it needs friends like russia and the china may want to see the end of this conflict in ukraine. it will not serve china to see a weekend putin or weekend russia. so it's continuing to invest in this relationship with this visit by one. and even potentially, rumors of a potential visit from president, she didn't bring himself to russia in the spring. because you know, when g, the foreign minister isn't really the only sort of big name that we recognize, that sort of making this diplomatic push across europe at the moment. china and

itself has seen a lot of diplomatic move recently. what's the overall goal here? that's why we have chinese official crisscrossing the globe. we've had me thing taken place in japan. we've had another one take place in indonesia this week. i think overall, this also come of the heels of this balloon incident with which happened with the u . s. where washington contents that it was a chinese spy balloon. it's shot down earlier in the month. so i think they didn't really want to take back to the narrative and put it forward as a mediator and a promoter of global peace and stability. and although it, china knows that's not going to win any hearts and minds and in the u. s. and with western european countries, it does, it does seem to be whether there are other countries, particularly in the developing world, that may be a bit more ambivalent about russians invasion of ukraine. and may be more open to seeing. china is reasons for wanting to continue its relationship with russia,

and i think it's doris countries in particular that china is trying to speak through and trying to project itself forward as a alternative global responsible player. and certainly an alternative to us if any for say in beijing, thanks. katrina and we have a weekly special series on the far reaching consequences of the ukraine warrior into the conflict. hope you can join us and tuning to 1130 gmc and 1630 gmc on wednesday, and also at 230 gmc on thursday where my colleague adrian finnegan, will exploring the human impact of the war from key. now a un delegation has visited so keen and serious rebel held law to assess the damage caused by the quakes. the team hopes to establish what the primary needs are in the area, but locals struggling with the aftermath have criticize delays in receiving the aid

. we came to see what the new word is. here's needs in shelves, us health as a need for fresh water annotation and of course removal of the free growth wallace . let's cross over to russell said that he's in syria. he's that be occupying our border crossing in his province. russell will obviously, you know, aid is arriving in the area, but is it coming in in the volumes that's required? ah, indeed, the international 8th is finally arriving. however, serious here are saying that it is too late is too little, but still very much precious because they need every drop of this international aid to survive. david, the divine tear so that we have seen many high level wizards from the united nations and many other international organizations. and there have been so many promises, but the delivery so far is quite insufficient. so the north west,

syria is hosting around 4.54.6000000 people. and this area has been a fact that he'd buy 2 powerful earthquakes. just every simply particularly in the town of sal keen, had him engendered as are very much a fact that there are houses of the buildings that have either been completely level down or they're heavily damaged. and around 6000 people died. many more are injured. 150000 people are now displays, so i met some of them in the town of gender as and to see how they are dealing with the aftermath. these people are trying to find whatever is left in their destroyed homes. this rubble was, was up to where a zack hassan's house. these people are trying to find whatever is left in their

destroyed homes. this rubble was, was up to reserve hassan's house. now he fears he may even lose this if he has to find the title larvae but had this other willoughby dental and no one helped us not a ghost exhibitors on machines on by the state under the rubber for days and we lost so much. now i have to find a title did to prove this was my home genders with a population of 18000 people was the worst hit town in north mysteria from 2 quakes struck earlier this month. the devastation is absolute. more than a 1000 buildings here had either collapsed or been heavily damaged. hundreds of people died and thousands were injured. the survivors are now trying to comp, in this isolated rebel held area, they can only rely on international

a. many students here are served only one meal a day and many receive even less. they say they don't receive enough international aid, and it is poorly organized. he not les leslie, a man has lost dozens of relatives and france. she says her family has been displaced. several times, but i know it was rainy and cold. after saying 8 stays on the street, we got this tent, but if not for wind heads, tiny kits can't sleep during the night because of the cold. i want nothing. just the proper tent for my kids. the impact of the earthquakes left many families chattered here. their faces bad, the weight of loss and devastation. many ceilings here told they had survived the worst of the enduring to world years of civil war and conflict. but now, in the aftermath of the earthquakes, they have lost even more their homes, possessions,

and sense of security. more serious here have spent years running away from the war . they are only dream, a normal life with 1st data. i know them a satellite the do to get away. we fear that the earthquake will hit again any time we just set up a tent here and are living in it. nowhere is safe. now. people here say most lives were lost due to lack of more than rescue equipment. and now an absence of 8th food and shelter is worse than in their misery. christmas said that al jazeera gender, us, nor to syria, well still had here on al jazeera o, t stands proud stands tall, and most important stands free. he was present. joe biden says russia will lot win in ukraine. is vance of a putin valves to keep fighting. and sealants are being buried on through speeches . as birds flew,

takes hold. it's so cold in eastern europe, that is a big pool of cold, settled in here around which is raptor front system. this side was all nice and warm, but you can see the triangle has been formed and closing with clattered rain here. so there are changes. a hood no longer windy and east, your potentials are very low as you can see. and there's not much sun the skies often a very cloudy picture, so still disappointing. whereas here it's changed from warmish sunshine to cloud and rain and quite a cold wind, particularly for nolan, spain, maybe northern portugal. thus, changing is completely in the south of france, where we see almost reco breaking warms over the last few days. so take to loose, for example, it was mounting on monday, then 15, never going down or 8 on thursday,

and slowly, only slow recovering. beyond that, for north africa. well it stopped raining too heavily in morocco. now jerry, there's 2 shells around the atlas branches. they have not gone completely and the wind into strong as it was. so the dust and sand, for example, north nigeria isn't as bad as it was, but this is for many places the hottest month year, surprisingly, maybe in february. and we see near record breaking the high values in senegal and also in nigeria. and i suspect, going to see that for the coming week as well. ah, african story from african perspective. so documentary for you, feel me from that way. we were pioneers of how the comments change the way with me. i'd be happy to go into a physical done with

africa direct on al jazeera like the ah ah, look about kill me over there with me. so he'll rob the reminder of all the top stories around $7000.00 trucks are being full to way to the major border crossing between buckets on the gun on. it's been closed since sunday evening. john gun 5 was reported on monday. the you and delegation is visited so keen in theory is rebel held law to assess damage caused by recent earthquakes. people in the regions have criticize delays in the humanitarian response. trying to talk diplomat lying

as well, has been the response of ukrainian people and the world. his unannounced visit to keep the day before perhaps overshadowed the address, but he knows people are growing tired of the cost of the pain and of the loss. and he reemphasized america's commitment to the battle. president boone is confronted with something to day did it and think was possible. a year ago, the democracy of the world have grown stronger, not weaker, but the autocrat to the world to grow weaker, not stronger, because it allows moments of great upheaval, uncertainty that knowing what you stand for is most important. and knowing whose dance, right? you makes all the difference. the president is a weight of those who want him to do more. if he wasn't, there was a sign in a central squid and more saw to remind him. calling on america to put jets in the fight. he warned. but a weird,

his russian counterpart spoke hours earlier. he addressed the russian people directly to the mother united states in nations of europe. do not seek to control or destroy russia. the west was not plotting to attack russia, as prudent said today, and millions of russian citizens only want to live in peace of their neighbors are not the enemy. a year ago, joe biden warned skeptical allies about the dangers of russian troops mast on the border of ukraine, even as like a mere person. we're seeing, he had no intention of invading this speech. was all about warning those allies of the consequences of walking away or losing this fight. island fisher, al jazeera warsaw authorities improve destroyed more than 14 tons of illegal drugs present. dina palatez had cocaine, marijuana and other drugs have been seized in several operations since november last year. the drugs were burned in ovens,
