intelligences had planned on taking control of keeping 3 days had suffered a historic and humiliating defeat. in may of the months of intense fighting in the polt city of mary paul, the last remaining ukrainian fighters surrendered that as hostile steel plot. but you crane by now was receiving what would become tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid. autumn counter offensive liberated with tens of thousands of square kilometers, including the city of kensal purchase, the cur, reparation for the counter offensive started in april by june when we had received western weapons, we were better able to hit their supply lines up, command centers and weapons and fuel depos, or we could also attack their reserve troops as they approached the front line. a huge come one up in which since december, ukrainian gaines have slow to a virtual standstill. russia has made small advances in eastern don bands using

what ukrainian forces say is wave of the wave of infantry soldiers and mercenaries from the wagner group. some of the heaviest fighting continues around the town of buck moot. where many, the estimated 5000 civilians who remain there, refused to be evacuated. officials here and here on their western allies are convinced that russia is about to launch what they describe as a spring offensive. more sophisticated weaponry, such as tanks, is on its way from nato countries, but with no end in sight to the fighting. many are asking just how long ukraine's allies can fund this war. despite their lead is saying, it is a fight for democracy. they cannot lose char stafford on to 0. heave well his, the current situation on the ground. russia controls much of the territory east of the deep pro river. but a ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed swathes of land in the north and south, including the key city of cash on. now,

the front line is on the city of buck lute which presents events he says, has been turned to ruins by the russian offensive. the united nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on russia to withdraw from ukraine. the u. s. ukraine and the you wanted a strong show of unity against russia only anniversary of the invasion. but some key nations abstained as she have returns. he reports this non binding resolution was based on the fundamental principle of the un charter. it is against international law for one member state to invade another ukraine and the you wanted as many member states as possible to vote in favor of their drove a new from recent history that anything more strongly worded would lose support and strategy paid off with $141.00 if the $193.00 members of the un general assembly voting in favor 7 voting against and $32.00 abstaining. the message is clear. it doesn't matter what russia thrice and how it attempts to undermine international

order. and the coalition in support of ukraine still tauriel integrity. it fails. these $141.00 countries reiterated a clear demand to russia withdraw withdraw immediately, completely and unconditionally, from ukraine's internationally recognized territory. as expected, several key non aligned countries, abstained, including china, south africa, and india. they argued that a resolution that sought to contribute to a lasting peace in the region should focus on achieving a cease for immediate peace talks and addressing the geopolitical concerns that lead to the conflict. and the 1st player chow hot. since the court on king boosting or even enlarging military blocks, lonely, undermine regional security and drive peace further away. the final settlement allow crane crisis hinges on abandoning the cold war mentality in giving direction

to and respecting the reasonable security concerns of all countries. while we take note of the stated objectives of today's resolution, given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to abstain. and even though several northern line countries like my jury and in an easier did vote for the resolution, they registered their reservations criticizing it for not promoting storks and conflict resolution ukraine. the e u and the u. s. can once again say that a majority of nations at the un general assembly has voted against the russian invasion, even if finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive. she ever times the al jazeera, the united nations will china is expected to invade japan on friday to end the war and ukraine. ukrainian president, lottery zalinski has been hosting spanish prime minister pedro sanchez in keith under the press conference. after that all sense, he said that he's cautiously optimistic about

a chinese piece plan. a deployment young man. i've not seen the document, it's too early to make a diagnosis. i think that in general, the fact that china started talking about pace in ukraine. i think that's not bad. it's important for us that all states are on our side on the side of justice. but the fact that china is already talking about it. this is some kind of 1st step. this is not bad at all. we'll jump to conclusions after seeing specifically what they offer. it's all of in java has more for moscow. what it is? well kept secret because john has been talking about this piece plan for the last few days, but it hasn't unveiled it as yet. this morning we've heard from the russian foreign ministry that it was not part of the discussions between china's top tip them out and the russian foreign minister. but it does not rule out that better. this plan has been given to both capital, moscow and key for them to have a reaction ready before china and build that. but this is where china wants to be

a about an arbiter which sits in the middle and tries to negotiate between these 2 sides, which remain far apart when it comes to how to in the war. ukraine central bank was issued a special bank that 2 months the 1st anniversary. the 20 here me note, which is worth about half us dollar depicts 3 soldiers raising the country's flag. the back of the note shows 2 hands tied with tape. the reference to the civilian victims discovered near boucher, the head of the central banks of the notes were a visual record of ukraine's resistance from silver oak greens whose during this year ukrainians have realized their force, their significance, their ability not only to withstand but also to win to win without forgiving a single military crime, a single ruined house. this victory will be at a very high price, but it will happen and it will be ours. the 100 the people of attend to the vigil for ukraine in trafalgar square in london really challenged is that it is easy to

be someone dismissive of events like this than have their own the symbolical. yes, they often bought it, but they all symbolic of something that is tangible, unreal because without the support of western countries like the u. k, it's arguable that ukraine might not have been able to resist the onslaught of the russian invasion. so what do events like this represents? well, they represent the millions if he and re refugees dispersed around europe and all those people who welcomed them into their home that represents all that fundraising and donation is done by normal people. it represents the diplomatic efforts and supports of western governments represents the military aids. it's been flowing into ukraine, keeping ukrainian guns firing, and it's representing the intelligence that allows the ukrainians to offer you the one step ahead of what the russian military is doing. so when people come to events like this,

when they perhaps pul paid in the colors of the ukrainian flag on the street in front of russia's embassy in london, something else that happened on that they didn't. these things get noticed by ukrainians who feel like they're not alone, that they have support on one of the ra, parts of the world like fits of the global south that are more sympathetic for the russian cause. the west certainly isn't, and it continues to stand by ukraine out of the days of the news now police in the jury, se attackers who killed a senate candidate from the opposition labor party targeted 3 political parties on wednesday. bought your boat, you cool, was shot dead in southeast and a new state while returning home campaign rally. please say suspected separate as carried out simultaneously. tanks on 3 parties level, killing several people. it's the latest into incident in a state of violence ahead of saturday's election. how much of a has moved from a new gall this way the man was running for senator was killed on wednesday night.

of the country for many, many years. some people here say they feel marginalized from the rest of nigeria. they feel that the federal government in the capital, the boucher has not that enough to develop this part of nigeria. some of them would be agitating, change some even cooling for separation, independence from the states. um nigeria. mm. mm mm mm. almost 50000 people are now concerned debt and the earthquakes that kill to kia and syria millions are in need of humanitarian aid. and many survivors are without shelter, but many of those inter kia whose house is still standing, so they can't go back. also back said to us, this report from gaussian talk, cold and afraid fall in 3 earthquakes in the space of 2 weeks. many people don't feel safe in their homes. they're sleeping in open areas like parks and carport.

mccomb took me and i said when it's dark, my son starts to say, mom, can we go to the cafe mom? the chandeliers shaking. when someone touches the table, my son gets afraid and says, there's an earthquake, my children feel safer outside, so we stay inside in our cars. the fire keeps their hands warm, but it's the kindness of strangers that warms their hearts also fall chip. our house was marked a slightly damaged, but we couldn't answer for 2 weeks. we didn't have gas and water. we had babies and small children. so we stayed here for 2 weeks. we were lucky, this restaurant opened its thought to us. so instead of staying in attends or sleeping in the car, we stayed there. may god bless her. most of the city of 2000000 have been told by authorities, the homes are safe. but many don't believe that there are no fish and numbers and how many buildings are secure and does the enter. predictions are further earthquakes and social media of heightened people's sense of fear. going through, our house was checked by the authorities and we went back in. the building was

marked slightly damaged with 95 percent non damaged. but the walls are cracked psychologically. we are afraid to go back in, especially i said, the aftershocks and the latest ethnic, mammoth wife says she'd rather brave the cold, said the 9th floor of the building. it shakes every time it's enough to shot. we've seen residents across the city. the thing in the cars in the park, they've been traumatized so much by the earthquakes that nothing can reassure them to return to their home. i said vague. i just got the in tech says interview. well, still a had here all now to say i'm heidi's jo, castro, in east palestine, ohio, where the cleanup continues. after a train derailment center toxic chemicals into the environment. ah

but across the u. s. the contrasts i really stock it, spin reco, breaking me hot in the southeast, and that's slowly being pushed out. but what is also a reco breaking winter storm going from the west coast to the east coast, bringing ice and therefore power cuts to detroit, blizzards all over the place, the mountains and the plains states. and i take you into fridays, full cost, the outflow of the cold means minex is temperature minus 6 and wind chill in toronto. and that cold comes rockaway down to the east coast of new england. in fact, the code is still going to be severe in the mid west. minneapolis minus 11 is a maximum. and then we come back to where the storm is going to continue it. basically, california, i'm probably neighboring states that there are warnings. i had all sorts of seeing strong wind, rain and huge amount of snow, combine them and you tend to get blizzard. in fact, the warnings out up in the mountains off of blizzards. and i think it's about one a half meters old snake was right on. was he pushing for the say?

the temperature is really depressed and mexico under warning conditions. at the same time that throughout the caribbean, the weather's rather prettier, actually, the breeze is picking up a little bit. so we got increasing cloud in costa rica, and panama and dana, brazil. that recently, for the dairy in the state of south palo could see more showers with unmanned aerial vehicles, deadly but increasingly familiar tunes on the modern battlefield. with the conflict in ukraine's walking the 1st full scale drone war and pointing to a coming age of artificial intelligence, some autonomy, weapons, people and power examines the ethical questions around this proliferating technology. and whether it poses a dystopian threat, drones and the future of war on an jazeera oh,

a look about kill watching. i'll just there at least the whole rahman into ho reminder of our top news stories. if he won us, his russian president vladimir putin announced the military operation in ukraine. the country has been devastated by the fighting since russian invasion began. the general assembly has passed a resolution calling for russia to end up still. 141 of the 193 member nations voted in favor of demanding moscow immediately and unconditionally withdraw. the resolution is not binding, but is considered an indicator of global sentiment. the senate candidate to nigeria has been killed by the government of saturday's election by uber. chuck,

the 2nd part is that you had been somebody who had been to poor had been doing t d. but like many other operators, he says this can only be sustained at the cost of ingredients doesn't keep increasing. the government imposes price ceilings uncertain items like roll chicken and eggs to ensure they remain affordable. low income families spend around 40 percent of their income on food. so the hardest hit by rising food prices for much of last year, food inflation in malaysia was around 4 percent. the growth to 70 percent is november. the price controls had caused a supply shortage. and consequently, higher prices. malaysia used to produce enough eggs to export. but when the cost of chicken feeds started to rise and the controlled price of a student, poultry farms reduced production. sayed that the plenty of them the load, i came to get eggs, but they didn't have the ordinary ones. so i have no choice but to get the spatial

omega 3 ones which are more expensive and that'll affect my costing of one below mega. the government says ill consider removing price caps later this year. the country also subsidizes petrol and electricity among other items. last year it's subsidy bill ballooned to $18000000000.00 or round 21 percent of its g. d p. more often than not, and this is militia not an outline her. most countries you to political economy reasons or whatever. a price controls and subsidies tend to fall into the button of the tree use. how so they become unkindly unguarded, unkind, and you have all these attendant problems as an issue. national debt is also rising, while the budget deficit is expected to widen. the government says it wants to ease the cost of living, but it may lack the tools to get it done. florence lee al jazeera, qual alone poor. well, to iran, no explosions have been heard,
