a little who lives near bytes as local people pulled out the bodies of the 2 men. then they found that of a 3rd fighter full of imminent. they pulled the 2 from inside this room. this is one of the places where they used to gather either beds or here. they took the bodies from under the rubble and then later on we noticed a 3rd body outside the room. what i can follow under cover is really forces entered the city's busy markets. before midday on wednesday, followed by the enforcements, imag dirty. they had that my husband thought the were all calls. the even told him i saw my lake home and entered. he thought they were going to the restroom nearby. i, although the israeli forces, say they killed 3 wanted suspects. they allege committed shootings. the rate claimed the lives of several other palestinians, although most were just going about their daily lives. this 72 year old man went to do some grocery shopping before he was shot and killed. hundreds of people came to

hospitals to identify those had been killed with more than 100 injured, many hoping their loved ones had survived. funerals are becoming irregular, seen for palestinians in the west bank. the number of casualties after israeli rates may vary. but there is one constant. the heartbreak of every loss. me the abraham l. just eda, the occupied westbank. us state department says it's concerns bobby unrest and is calling on both sides to refrain from further violence. we recognize the very real security concerns facing israel. at the same time, we are deeply concerned by the large number of injuries and the loss of civilian lives. we had productive conversations in recent days with the parties in u. s. regional partners in support of efforts to prevent further violence. we are deeply concerned that the impact of today's raid could set back efforts aimed at restoring calm for both israelis and palestinians. today's events further

underscore the urgent need for both sides to work together to improve the security situation in the west bank. we also call an all parties to desist from actions and inflamed tensions, such as incitement to violence, evictions of families from their homes, demolitions settlement advancements and the legalization of help us. rustlings olden is in washington dc where the state department says it's working with israelis and palestinians to help diffuse the situation. officials here at the u. s . state department say that they're very concerned and alarmed by what happened during that raid by israeli military forces in a building in occupied westbank town of nobliss. on wednesday, the u. s. is extending its condolences to those who were killed and to their families, primarily those of who were civilians not involved in any of the groups which the israeli say we're planning future attacks on site inside israel. now to the

question of what the u. s. can do, given that it is trying to mitigate what it sees as a deteriorating situation between the palestinians and the israelis, the department spokesperson, that price said that it's not the position or the place for the u. s. government to issue threats to either party, even though there is concern about the status of relations between the 2 sides. and the concern for increased tensions in the wake of the rise of the new government of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who has made himself a party alongside a number of right wing politicians. many of whom would like to take over the occupied westbank for israeli. a residence and to push out palestinian residents. but the u. s. as it is very much committed to preserving the chances that a separate palestinian state can be established. one that would exist side by side

with the israeli state. and they say that everything that they're trying to do, consultation listening to other people's concerns and complaints and trying to basically make both sides do the things that they need to do to build confidence in each other. they say that is the appropriate role for the united states, and that is how they're going to proceed going forward. now i have news coming in that raw kits have been fired from garza into israel. is local video shows the rockets lighting up the sky. israeli army has confirmed that the father, the 6 rockets were intercepted. it says the other one fell into a thin area. ah, say biden has told that the leaders of nato's 9 eastern european members that they form at the front line of our collective defense. the west preston has now left the

polish capital where he's been running support for ukraine as the war enters a 2nd year on. fisher has mona, from mosul. ah, it will be the enduring image of jo biden's trip to europe. a walk through the streets of keith with president vladimir zalinski ki has captured a part of my heart. i must say a physical expression of support after the youth of war from the man whose lead the international effort to help. this is a bit of an unprecedented and visit for a commander in chief to, to go to a war zone in which you have no american troops. no, no combat presence. that certainly increased the level of risk to fight and was always going to visit poland. he was, he had a year ago after russian tanks moved into ukraine. he spoke then, as he did know about the threat from russia. but this time with a warning that the fight could be a long term commitment. the defense of freedom is not the work of a day or

a year. it's always difficult. it's always important. as you, craig continued to defend itself against the russian onslaught and launch counter offensive as of its own. there will continue to be hard and very bitter days, victories and tragedies, but ukraine is steal for the fight ahead. joe biden will consider his trip here to be a success. it was heavy on symbolism and messages of support at a time when countries are growing weary of a war that seemingly has no end in sight. alan fisher al jazeera warsaw, a russian president vladimir putin has addressed a crowd in moscow. he said the whole country was behind the military campaign in ukraine. she wouldn't bumpers battalion to day. we are gathered here to celebrate defender of the fatherland day. but i know that as we speak here, there is a battle going on on our historic borders for our people. these are brave heroes.

if we are proud of them and let us give them 3 cheers they ha, ah! when you knew the whole country supports them, making the whole country defenders of the fatherland. earlier on wednesday, vladimir putin met chinas, top diplomat, when ye? some athens i've heard reports not from oscar. rock solid is how china's top diplomat describe the relationship, had been beijing and moscow in his meeting with the russian president, wong. ye said the ties between the 2 nations, but not directed against any one, but won't accept pressure from any country as well. true. we have always maintained the strategic focus and adhere to the general direction of building a multi polar world, resolutely opposed any unilateral and hegemonic actions and safeguarded our respective sovereignty. security and development interests. a day after the russian

and american president made speeches the head of the anniversary of the war with ukraine. vladimir putin told china their ties extend beyond diplomacy. hey, scott, was our group this year. we cooperated many areas and a humanitarian sphere and international organizations, including the united nations, the security council of which we are permanent members, bricks the shanghai corporation organization. and of course, we're waiting for the chairman of the people's republic of china to visit russia. china wants to promote its peace plan to bring the warring sides in ukraine to the negotiating table, but with its deep rooted cooperation with russia, it's not widely seen as a neutral arbiter. china has a number of joint infrastructure projects with russia, but most chinese investment in the resource rich parties, region rest and sanctions mean china's imports of russian oil. natural gas and goods have become more lucrative. in south africa, russia and china are taking part in a 3 nation military exercise cooperation like that is a cause for concern for the nato military alliance backing ukraine. but beijing has

rejected warnings to refrain from providing lethal military aid and execute the u. s. of fueling the war by sending weapons to keep as rest and sanctions continued to pile on russia. it's looking east to bit china as its largest trading partner, president vladimir putin expects bilateral trade to balloon over $200000000000.00. and as the warden ukraine goes on, russia is poised to build new alliances and forge all at once, so that it can avoid international isolation. sama madrid under 0, moscow. meanwhile, in new york, the un general assembly has begun debating a resolution introduced by ukraine and you from the 1st anniversary of the russian invasion she had returned. she has the story that has been pretty clear. it feels that this special emergency session of the un general assembly is key. so the one year anniversary commemorations of the war in ukraine, specifically, they want a strong showing in support of the un general assembly,

non binding resolution that's been drafted by the e u. and u. crane condemning rushes invasion as a violation of the un charter. it was a theme that was picked up by the un secretary general and his address to the general assembly. the one year mark of russia's invasion of ukraine stands as a green milestone for the people of ukraine and for the international community. that the invasion is an affront to our collective conscious. it is a violation of united nations charter and international law. is having that emetic humanitarian and human rights consequences, and the impact is being felt far beyond the ukraine. previous votes of the general assembly have demonstrated that any sort of more coercive language against russia will have difficulty getting even half of you. and general assembly delegates votes

and the russian ambassador did scoff. what equal the hollow out resolution? as always, we were looking at what china and non line countries like brazil have to say these countries have expressed that concern of the flouting of the un charter. but i've also pointed to the selective application of the un charter, the selective outrage from western nations when the un charter isn't abided by. so we'll be looking at how they works on thursday. seattle has become the 1st city in the us to ban at discrimination based on cast those from the cities, south asian communities who back the law said that people facing cast prejudice had few protections. opponents though, argued existing anti discrimination goals were sufficient. sharma so aunt is a member of the seattle washington city council. she says the ruling could have a knock on effect. we, we always, you know, get the statistical data on gas based combination that is

a really wide spread and serious issue throughout the united states. wherever there is a certain concentration of immigrant community work or strongest asian region, that's going to be true. so it's generally true in the sector tech sector, sorry. and seattle is one of the big house. but the main reason why this legislation was one and why this historic victory was one in seattle is precisely because we have my socialist council office. we have for a whole decade, we have used my office as a platform to fight for ordinary people like working people. that is why it's no coincidence. and not only did we, when this is joy legislation yesterday, this was also the office that helped us with the movement to win the $50.00 minimum wage and also the amazon tax that's in big businesses to fund affordable housing. i have no doubt that a lot of people, hundreds of thousands of people are duly inspired by the historic victory v. a one

. you know, we may seattle the or city in a nation to bank us discrimination. and actually it's more than that. it is the 1st city globally to win this kind of ban on cost commission outside of south asia. so this is genuinely historic and you cannot possibly overstate the significance of it . and i know that working people in other cities absolutely want to win something like this. i would just warn them that it's not going to be automatic. if you can go to the democratic party council members and say, please do this in our city. we will need to build a kind of fighting movement that be built here in other cities as well to win this that i had to hear on al jazeera, astronomical discovery, scientists get a glimpse of huge galaxies a day back to a cosmic dawn ah, with as

a severe winter storm brewing in the u. s. this reference temperatures. these are maximum temperatures by day, so just pick, pick a favorite city and look at them. and you'll notice this is particularly called area, and that's inducing. so the upper midwest and central plane states, which is maybe not unusual, but this is also dramatically wintry. this is a pacific store if you like. we said, you know, a pacific coast, the u. s. effect. all california as well right down to low levels is going to feel cold, windy and wet. i'll be snow easily. it fairly moderate how to choose not to carry on throat 30 friday and probably saturday. in contrast, is quite nicer at the caribbean. central america generally, maybe they'll be cloudy in place like cost to rehear, nicaragua in the morning at least, but that goes very readily. and then we've got the big showers now they're all over brazil. they also have been focusing in ecuador, but notice down through paraguay, and the se result, it ran so parallel about here,

where we had the flooding and land slides, and the shower went away with and i returning. so we have got a potential problem returning certainly rain over the damaged area. it's not a good thing though. shout exists or down towards a year ago. and even nolan, argentina, the central argentina is enjoying the sunshine. ah, african stories from african perspective. so documentary from that you fill me in that way. we were behind years of how the comments change away with i'd be happy to go into a physical store. saddam, i've with fresh armed fishing woods and the shot africa direct on al jazeera lou.

ah, are you watching out here? a reminder of our main store is this, or at least 11 palestinians have been killed and an israeli raid in the city of nablus violent incursions by israeli forces in the occupied west bank have intensified with $61.00 palestinians killed since the site of the year. so biden has told the leaders of nato's 9 eastern european members that they form quote, the front line of our collective defense. you as president, has now left poland, where he's been running support for china. it's top diplomat to school, the conscious relationship with russia. rock solid, and he was meeting vladimir putin in moscow just 2 days before the anniversary of

russia's invasion of ukraine. a woman dies every 2 minutes due to pregnancy or child birth. that's according to new estimates were leased by the nighted nations agencies. new data shows major setbacks from eternal healthcare, in many parts of the world. their port attract maternal dest, nationally regionally, and globally, from the year 2000 to 2020, it shows they were 287000 maternal deaths worldwide. but most of the desk continued to be largely concentrated in the poorest parts of the world. and in countries affected by conflict. while turning out to the turkey or syria earthquakes among those of last their homes and possessions. a more than 350000 pregnant women in turkey and syria, many are expected to give birth in the next month. the un says the women urgently need access to specialist health care. through the bo has more from accounting for interview. i mean, i left the pregnant and without

a home she has been living in attend and shall fall to the earthquake, destroyed her house 2 weeks ago, a refugee from the war in syria. she has been living into kia for 5 years. and i am looking for a place to rest and hopefully hospitals will be in good condition. we hope the situation will get better. i'm pregnant and the situation is difficult for everyone . the un says over 1500000 houses have been destroyed. and many of the victims are now living in camps like this one. health care is a major concern for humanitarian organizations, especially among women. thousands of them are expected to give birth in the next month, and many hospitals around this area have been destroyed. and that's why it is a concern, but they will be able to do it in a safe way. the united nations has deployed doctors and nurses intent comes to check on how women are coping with a disaster. jackie,

they had her baby 2 weeks ago and it's also living in attend we are scared and cannot go back to our home because it is all damaged. it's warm here and better for the baby. there are also providing women with medication and treatments. some i read risk of miscarriage, the u. n. is estimating at least $25000.00 birds in the next month. unfortunately, many of the house places were either distracted or are they are not in or, or they are not operating at the moment. but what we are doing within our capacity as you are nephews, job supporting and working together with ministry of how to ensure that section and productive hard services are continue. we need urgently to provide mobile ethridge clinics and other support services. earth for to ensure women anger's access to these services. the turkish government has promised to fast track rebuilding. but

until that happens, there are hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people who have been left without a home. biddies i will, i'll jessina shall learn far to keep the teacher has been starved to death. my 16 year old pupils in southwestern france victim was a spanish language teacher at a roman catholic high school in the town of it seems on the news. early report suggests the people may have been suffering from a mental illness. a tv journalist on the young girl had been shot dead in the us state of florida. it happened that the scene where another fatal shooting took place earlier in the day. vesta gates a say they have a suspect in custody. not the individual is linked to both shootings. they say the suspect has a lengthy criminal record, including gun charges and aggravated assault. he was governance says new measures impose at its southern board in january of let a dramatic decrease number of illegal crossings from homan has more.

the united states has changed the rules for people from haiti, nicaragua, and cuba, who went to the country legally across its southern border and the north for asylum before they were allowed to stay. while the request was processed, that meant they were exempt from title 40 to a public health order. the u. s. has been using to refuse entry to migrants, but no more. the u. s. has done a deal with mexico ensuring they stay in that country while they wait us authority sites were to dissuade many from crossing illegally. a drop of 42 percent between december and january and hells. an example is from nikolai, we're jumped the boat offense to us for asylum, thinking he'd be able to stay. but he was sent back to mexico. now he's in a shelton p one or not. you may receive it. i thought i would if it was still in the correct and i had found out that the talk to was gone. i wouldn't have come

a long and that will please us authority and come in. president biden's administration perhaps had to do something the last fiscal year. there were reco numbers of apprehension of migrants on this, the southern border. and they were under a lot of pressure, especially from republicans to get those numbers down. the new strategy has other elements to rewards, as well as penalties. one is the humanitarian pro program for applicants from haiti, cuba, nicaragua, than his whaler. to stay in the u. s. for 2 years, as long as they have sponsors there, the us, his place to take up to 30000 people a month. the new app has also been rolled out for those already at the buddha, allowing them to book appointments with us officials rather than wait and queues or unless controlled by non governmental agencies. but those we talked to in the same shelter as on who having problems using the up especially getting the confirmation email. they said needed for the appointment. but if you look up,

i lost my appointment on the 1st february because the confirmation email didn't arrive. all it says is system error, system error. but pastor, oh, but rebecca, who's in charge of the shelter still thinks it's a good idea. he just needs to be modified server things. nothing is going to go down because people are entering into the app and they know there's a legal process that they're going to do it. so they're not going to hire coyotes and then end up being kidnapping. human traffic in it's going to go down because you have an access to do it legally, and it's going to bring security for the life of the immigrants and also for, for the border and heal from the can. i work. he's now trying to use the app, waking up at 3 in the morning to try and book his spoke sofa. he's had no luck. john, home and al jazeera t one. now several supermarket chains in the u. k. of begun to ration fruits and

vegetables as a result of disruption to supply chains. so if a weather is hit, harvest from producers in spain and north africa. san diego reports no tomatoes, the sale here all blueberries and the dwindling options of fresh produce in this supermarket have not been missed by regular shopping. left can use and pin room way . teams that have to do with them for not until it comes back. but sometimes you go to the show. so and anything on the ship, whether availability would likely be paying a premium, especially for out of season for the supermarkets affected have said that these shortages are only meant to last for another few weeks with a bit of questions as to what's behind the supply issues mainly from which countries these supplies are coming from. and what are the climate issues that have been affecting them? 2022 was a 2nd hottest year on record in europe. heat waves and extreme temperature,

and one of europe's biggest food produces spain meant fewer available crops to harvest. the giant gas heated greenhouses that grow fresh produce in countries such as the netherlands, have been affected by the huge rise and energy prices caused by the war and ukraine is climate change because the bytes we will see these impacts on the u. k. food supplies, but also on the u. k is hard pressed farmers who already paying hundreds of millions, millions of pounds extra for fertilizes am for energy because of the price of gas and who are also seeing themselves exposed to the impacts of climate change light. last year's drought and the u. k. face is one of a particular issue. most of the countries vegetables come from the european union, and britons exit from the block has meant extra costs and bureaucracy has added to the strain, especially for perishable goods. the solution food producing organizations say, is the government to give farmers more support. replacing high carbon specializes

with low carbon alternatives and focusing on ways to protect against the extremes and whether that up because the new normal. so i go out to 0 london, astronomers in united states have seen evidence of distant galaxies that challenge our understanding of the universe. that's according to a new report and fancy fit, journal nature. current baker has more. these 6 red dots aren't supposed to exist, but nearly hidden deep in one of the james web space telescopes. first images, they're starting to reveal their secrets. they might be whole galaxies as large and mature as our own milky way. but that's a surprise, because they're being seen shortly after the dawn of the universe. and they should be much smaller and simpler. the 1st galaxies began in pools of a mysterious substance, dark matter. we know how these are americans form. we know that normal matter

should follow them. we know the ratio it which dark matter and normal matters us as part of our standard model on these galaxy soon to have too much normal matter. too much matter or just stuff, means the earliest stars in our universe were heavier than expected, and developed sooner than expected, possibly containing some elements essential for life. webb's ability to see new frequencies of light opened up new areas of investigation. now the findings will challenge models of how stars were born. i expect when the dust settles when we get far observations, when we get more, when we get better data, we will, we will probably find that cosmologies the same. and i, there's something else going on in the systems that we don't understand. some combination of stars forming really early galaxies forming way faster than we expected on. and maybe some exotic physics that aren't currently in our current models. even if each of the galaxy like our own, all we can see are 20 or 30 pick.
