ah, ah ah, wherever you go in the world, well no line goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places together. there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places the state. i'll just really invest in that, and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah,

365 days a full, thousands of people have died. millions have been displaced as the wall renew, craig and it's 2nd year. the un general assembly passes the resolution calling on russia to withdraw its troops problem ukraine. ah, club. so robin watching, i was there a lot of my headquarters here in doug, also coming up. civil tyneesa tax on 3 political parties in nigeria have killed several people, including a senate candidate just days before elections. plus where you meet a quick survivors who say that you are afraid to go home, even though the buildings have been declared safe.

welcome to the program. it's been one year since russian president vladimir putin announced the military operation in ukraine. thousands of people have lost their lives and millions have been displaced since the start of the war. charles traffic is in keith and takes a look at the key moments from the past year. on february, the 24th 2022 was the 1st wave of russian troops crossed the border. the russian missiles struck it past became clear that vladimir putin insistence that he would not invade ukraine had been a lie. it was a multi pronged attack. russian forces crossed from better rouge and advanced towards keith. there was a similar push in the ne oh and in the east to watch you cranes, 2nd city car cave. at the same time, mainly pro russia separatists forces attacks, towns in ukrainian controlled areas of dornan's, good guns, ukrainian president. not yet in his trademark military fatigues,

cold for help till november. i had a conversation with you as president joe biden. the u. s. is starting to gather international support in paul planning and brave ukrainian defense. quickly sculptured putin's immediate plans to take give the russian army columns was too bogged down and smashed water. narrow that a whole wolf the enemy pretty calculated their communications in logistic needs and their supply warehouses were across the border. this meant that after 2 days, there were stopped without fuel, ammunition, and food, and they lost the effective management of their troops. on the 1st of april, ukraine announced it had recaptured the entire region around cave dead civilians. some with their hands bound behind their backs were discovered, seemingly with it had been shot. russia was accused of war crimes. the russian army which ukrainian intelligences had planned on taking control of keeping 3 days had

suffered a storage and humiliating defeat. in may of the months of intense fighting in the polt city of mary apple, the last remaining of ukrainian fighters surrendered as hostile steel plot. but ukraine by now was receiving what would become tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid. autumn counter offensive liberated tens of thousands of square kilometers, including the city of kent saw porches, took her preparations for the counter offensive, started in april. by june. when we had received western weapons, we were better able to hit their supply lines, command centers, and weapons, and fuel depos are. we could also attack the reserved troops as they approached the front line at your school, one of them. but since december ukrainian gaines have slow to a virtual standstill, russia has made small advances in easton, don bass, 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, 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 leaders saying, it is a fight for democracy. they cannot lose char stafford, i'll 0 heave his concentration of the ground. russia controls much of the territory ether, the denique pro river, but a ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed swathes of land in the north and south, including the keys of cash on. now the front line is on the city of buck loot, which presidents, he says, has been turned to ruins by the russian offensive. well,

since the war started, profits of arms, companies have increased significantly. but the vast reports from brussels is proving to be a challenge for nato and europe to ramp up the industry that was scaled back up to the cold war. 50 leopard tang scattering dust in a warehouse near brussels, sold by the belgian army to a private company at a time when the new war in europe team on thinkable. now the owner wants to sell them back for nearly 10 times the original price. maybe you can say i'm a vision of this, so the know that other countries there's still countries in the world to have this liquid one thanks. so dental with the possibility either to sell spare parts or to sell additional things. while ukraine is fighting off a new russian offensive, his tanks won't leave the warehouse anytime soon. a promise by western countries to send 2 battalions of flap or 2 tanks has yet to materialize. the natalie sold all its lap or 2 tanks years ago. we have bought new ones, so the,

the previous version of the year 2 in larger quantities, they have to be refurbished. we have to be battle ready, but they will be provided to you great and nice, ready before it is offensive. but we are in the middle of the offensive and it's going to go on. so everybody, including industry is doing what they can to speed it up. the message here at nato is to produce more weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. meaning that an industry that was scaled back after the cold war should rapidly be brought back into full action. the alliance a 2nd for general has called it a battle of logistics, and the clear winner will be the alms industry. neal suca last w the straight for 20 years, once again to rushing into more production of weapon systems without the long term security plan. a lot of armed forces in europe are actually what we would call bonzai armies. they looked like real armies, the have the feel of an army, but in reality, they're not able to defend the country itself. so i think it would be much better

if you would actually invest more in cooperation between european states with regard to the military and defense. and that way the money that becomes available. you can actually invest in other issues that are very important in creating a more durable pete all the weapons for jews to be sent to the front lines have only one aim. he has to negotiate a peace deal while trying to make sure they won't fall into the wrong hands. after the war. steadfast al jazeera brussels. hundreds of people of attended a vigil for ukraine intervals. the squire in london really challenged is that it is easy to be someone dismissive of events like this and say that they are on the symbolic. well, yes, they often bollock, but they all symbolic of something that is tangible and real 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 you read refugees dispersed around here and all those people who welcomed them into their homes that represents that fundraising. and donation is done by normal people. it represents the diplomatic efforts and support of western governments. it represents the military age that's been floating in the ukraine, keeping ukrainian guns firing. and it's representing the intelligence that allows the craniums to walk through the one step ahead of what the russian military is doing. so when people come to events like this, when they have poor paint in the colors of the ukrainian flag on the street in front of rushes embassy in london, somebody 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. i'm one of the ra parts of the world, like bits of the global south that are more sympathetic to the russian course. the

west certainly isn't, and it continues to stand by ukraine. now, the united nations general assembly has stated overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on russia to draw from ukraine, the u. s. ukraine and the you wanted a strong show of unity against russia on the other history of the invasion. but some key nations abstain as she have returns. he explains 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 the strategy paid off with $141.00, if the $193.00 members of the un general assembly voting in favor 7 voting against . and 32 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 nolan 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 in the 1st place. 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 of now 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 on the line countries like my jury and in an easier did vote for the resolution, they'd register their reservations criticizing it for lot 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 of finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive. she ebert nancy al jazeera, the united nations, that china is expected to unveil a plan on friday to end the war in ukraine. you can impressive laudermill. zalinski has been hostings, spanish prime minister, padre sanchez and keith and at a press conference after their talk cilenzo, he said that he was cautiously optimistic about a chinese peace plan and implement young y o 8 is still

a 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 peace 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. a summer job with has more for moscow. whether it is a well kept secret term, because john has been talking about this piece planned 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, but being china's top tip, the mud and the russian foreign minister. but it does not rule out that better. this plan has been given to both capitals, moscow, and key for them to have a reaction ready before china and builds it. but this is where china wants to be a ever an arbiter which sits in the middle and tries to negotiate between these 2

sides, which remained far apart. but it comes to how to end. the war must be the days of the news now and police and no jury say attackers who killed a senate candidate from the opposition labor party targeted 3 political parties on wednesday bar. you bought chuck, who was shot dead in southeast, in a nuclear state, while returning home from a campaign rally. please say suspected separatists carried out civil tennis attacks on 3 parties, killing several people. it's the latest incident and a space of violence ahead of saturday's election. natasha has more from a new gall. this is way the man was running for senator was killed on wednesday night is conway was traveling along this road. when he got to this area, gunmen opened fire. you could see some of the cartridges down there. he was killed and some of his party name was also killed. they then set fire to the car. the car has been moved by security forces. police issued

a statement and they blamed on groups for the attack. me say young mom to me to the region. i tried to just run on saturday and are trying to cause panic. the street is usually 50 of them. this is what if you cause that many of this from a close. some of the people here say there is deal with nervous off the tap on wednesday. not sure what is going to happen next. the moods here is 10. people will tell you, try not to leave the city and travel by. oh, they say people are getting kidnapped people ransom, and people are being attacked along the road. so jenny, there's a feeling of insecurity in the area. they've been lingering tensions in this part of the country for many, many years. some people here said if you'll marginalize from the rest of nigeria, they feel that the federal government in the capital, the buddha, has not done enough to develop this part of malaria. some of them would be agitating, change some even cooling for depression,

independence from the state of virginia. well, still had here on al jazeera. 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, maybe the last bit of winter is just blowing through northern took in towards georgia. now that cloud, there was a few chanst still to come in parts of iran, but otherwise it's daytime sunshine come down the coast levant though and the cloud is tend to cling. it could be morning, fog persists or a low pole with a light shower. but that's the exception, not the rule. for most places, the sun is out in the wind storm, strong. it's warming up in the gulf states city while in doha 30 in dubai, was little real change into saturday as well,

which is in the present. warming after was if you many weeks of the cold side there are still shells. round lake duncan euchre. they form overnight in lake victoria. they move western reinvigorate of a bunch of bordeaux kigali. otherwise it's not particularly western, this part of africa. the rain is for the sas which is seasonally correct. a lot of it is comforting freddy now friendly. the tropical sector, which is making landfill during friday, over mozambique it's winds will comes, cause some damage and optically strong but nor indeed is much of the infrastructure . and studying is more light with the risk anyway, so as it moves in landed, lose its strengths. it lose the winds, but it brings torrential rain and flooding. was it to take the name away, but it goes in to the northeast to south africa and zimbabwe for another 2 days. ah. a catastrophic series of earthquakes into kiya and syria has taken thousands of

people's lives and left many more harmless. a major mobilization of humanitarian support is underway ah, teams on the ground will bring you continuous updates to t n. syria makes on al jazeera oh the book back. you're watching out there with me. the whole rahman and reminder of our top news stories. it's been one. yes, it's russian president vladimir putin announced the military operation in ukraine. the country has been devastated by the findings of russia's invasion,

and the un general assembly has passed a resolution calling for russia to end hostilities. 141 of the 193 men, venetians in favor of demanding moscow immediately and unconditionally withdraw. the resolution is not binding, but it's considered an indication that the label sentiment had a set of candidates. nigeria has been killed by gun, been ahead of saturday's election by butcher was attacked on wednesday, in the se, in a new state. the opposition and candidate was returning from a campaign rally for his labor party. ah, in all this 50000 people and confirm debt in the earthquakes that he took care and syria. millions are in need of humanitarian aid and countless survivors without shelter. but many of those into kia whose houses are still standing, say they can't go back. i said,

beg reports from garcia to 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 to our house was marked as slightly damaged, but we couldn't enter 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 a tent 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 he enter predictions or further earthquakes and social media have heightened people's sense of fear 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 as 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 former times so much by the earthquakes that nothing can reassure them to return to their home. i said vague, i just got into the malaysians will find out on friday's prime minister. and abraham intends to make good on his promises to tackle the cost of living when he

puts forward its 1st budget. now the government has relied heavily on price control mechanisms to keep a central items affordable that economists say those measures can have an intended consequences. as florence louis explains, a meal for under a $1.20 menu rama which means compassionate menu is a government initiative for restaurants and food stalls to offer affordable meals. as a way to counter the rising cost of living. more than $15000.00 premises have signed up to the program since it's launch last month. first, you don't make a lot. you actually make a 22 percent. my did get no loss here. ok. 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 and increasing. the government imposes pi sealants, uncertain items like roll chicken and eggs to ensure they remain affordable. no

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. rose to 70 percent is remember, that 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 feed started to rise and the controlled price of aches, didn't poultry farms reduce production sierra than the plan? the only 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 cost in $1.00 below me go, the government says ill consider removing price caps later this year. the country also subsidize as 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 is not and apply her. most countries to political economy reasons or whatever of price controls and subsidies tend to fall into the button at the $3.00 joe's. so they become untimely and targeted, unkind, and you have all these attendant palms 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 to ron, now explosions have been heard accompanied by the activation of air defense systems, full blast for her, just west of the capital t. ron radian state media said there was a military exercise conducted by the islamic revolution regard. diversity of garage, the incident comes at a time of height and tensions between iran and israel. house to the protest as of invoicing, the anger after raised by his re,

5050 and residents fear the help they receive will be short lived and that the suffering may be long term. heidi joe castro al jazeera east palestine ohio harvey weinstein has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for the rape of a woman in los angeles. the former hollywood film producer is already serving a 23 year sentence for a separate sex chrome conviction in new york. one scene is appealing both convictions, allegations made against him back in 2017, gave way to the me to movement against sexual violence. and another form of entertainment. meg law kelly has been hunted, a 20 year prison term for child pornography. the disgrace singer is already serving a separate 30th sentence, racketeering and sex trafficking. he'll serve most of the 2 sentences similar tennessee. so kelly will serve a maximum of 31 years behind bars.
