from around the world, a human life capture. and it's a fast one. this feel like that region of what i want people to remember me by ground breaking from award winning filmmakers. witness on a jesse in syria citizens or collecting evidence, a show of crimes committed against civilians. we've moved out of syria now about $600000.00 pages of material so that one day they can bring the outside regime to justice. it puts a human face on the charges. it's a dead human face, but it's a human face. syria witnesses for the prosecution. on al jazeera ah

$365.00 days of all. thousands of people have died. millions have been displaced as the war in ukraine enters its 2nd year. the un general assembly passes a resolution calling on russia to withdraw its troops from ukraine. ah, hello. hello robin, you're watching old. is there a locked my headquarters here in dough hall also coming up? sibyl chinese attack sold 3 political parties in nigeria have killed several people, including a senate candidate just days before the elections. plus. i'm heidi joe castro in east palestine, ohio, where the cleanup continues. after a train derailment sent toxic chemicals into the environment

welcome to the program. the un general assembly has overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on russia to end its invasion of ukraine. it's now one year since the war began. thousands of people have lost their lives and millions more have been displaced in the months since. charles stratford 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 fast became clear that vladimir putin insistence that he would not invade ukraine at b ally. it was a multi pronged attack quotient forces crossed from better routes and advanced towards keith. there was a similar push in the ne, wow and in the east to watch ukraine. second city car cave. at the same time, mainly pro russia separatist forces attacked towns in ukraine,

controlled areas of don x, good guns, ukrainian president. not yet in his trademark military fatigues called for help to 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 scaffold putin's immediate plans to take give to 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 where they

had been shot. russia was accused of war crimes. the russian army which ukrainian intelligences had planned on taking control keeping 3 days had suffered a story humiliating defeat. in may, after months of intense fighting in the port city of mariel, the last remaining ukrainian fighters surrendered as a star steal plot was what ukraine by now was receiving what would become tens of billions of dollars worth military aid? autumn counter offensive liberated tens of thousands of square kilometers, including the city of care. so watch out the 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. or we could also attack the reserve troops as they approached the front line going up at him. but since december ukrainian gains have slowed to a virtual standstill,

russia has made small advances in eastern dawn by using what ukrainian forces say, wave of the wave of infantry soldiers and mercenaries from the wagner group. some of the heaviest fighting continues around the town of buck mode, where many of the estimated $5000.00 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 lead is saying, it is a fight for democracy. they cannot lose stafford, i'll just 0 here. well, he's the current situation on the ground to russia, controls much of the territory east of the denito 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 blackwood, which presents lensky says, have been turned to ruins by the russian offensive. well, since the war started, profits of arms, companies have increased significantly. but it's that vast reports and brussels, it's proving to be a challenge for mesa and europe to ramp up industry that was scaled back after the cold war. 50 leper tanks, gathering dust in the warehouse near brussels, sold by the belgian army to a private company at a time when a new war in europe seem unthinkable. now, the owner wants to sell them back for nearly 10 times the original price. maybe you can say i'm a vision this so the know that other countries there's still countries in the world to have this liquid one. thanks. so there's always possibility either to sell spare parts or to sell additional things. while ukraine is fighting off a new russian offensive, his thanks won't leave the warehouse anytime soon. a promise by western countries

to send 2 battalions of lap or 2 tanks to materialize. the netherland sold all its leper to 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, have to be battle ready, but they will be provided to you. great and not ready before it is offensive. we are, 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 off the cold war should rapidly be brought back into full action. the alliance, the secretary general has called it a battle of logistics, and the clear window will be the arms industry needs to care less w the arm 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. they 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 piece. all the weapons for jews to be sent to the front lines have only one aim. he says 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, the united nations general assembly, as they did over whelming, the in favor of a resolution calling on russia to withdraw from ukraine. the u. s. ukraine and the e. u. wanted a strong show of unity against russia on the anniversary of the invasion, but some key nations abstained as she pretends 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 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 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 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'd register 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 of finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive. shebra nancy al jazeera united measures. china is expected to unveil a plan on friday to end the war in ukraine. you can impressive laudermill. zalinski has been hosting prime minister from spain address sanchez in keith at a press conference after that talks and ask is that his cautiously optimistic about a chinese piece plan and to promote young white element? 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 the summer and java has more from moscow. well, 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, the mud and the russian foreign minister. but it does not rule out that better. this plan has been given to both capitalists, moscow, and key for them to have a reaction ready before china and build that. but this is where china wants to be a, an arbiter which sits in the middle and tries to negotiate between these 2 sides, which remain far apart. but it comes to how, when the war, hundreds of people have it under the vigil for ukraine intervals, square in london, really challenged is that it is easy to be someone dismissive 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 europe and all those people who welcomed them into their homes that represents all that fundraising and donation is done by normal people. it represents the diplomatic efforts and support of western governments. it represents the military aids has 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 have poor pain 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 with an he's now where police in the jury say attack as who killed a senate candidate from the opposition labor party targeted 3 political parties on wednesday. bio butcher cool was shot dead in southeast and newco state. while returning home from a campaign rally. please say suspected separatists carried out simultaneously from 3 parties, killing several people. it's the latest incident. the space of violence ahead of saturday's election heard of miss asa has more from a neutral this way the man was running for senator was killed on wednesday night. his convoy was traveling along this road. when it got to this area gunmen open fire. you could see some of the cartridges down there. he was killed and some

of his party named was also killed. they then set fire to the car. the car has been moved by security forces. police have issued a statement and they blamed on groups for the attack. miss a young armed, made the region. i tried to disrupt on saturday and are trying to cause panic. the street is usually vizier than this. you got a few cars that many of the shops of clothes, some of the people here say there to schedule when it comes to the nervous, off the attack 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 road. 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. there's been lingering tensions in this part of the country for many, many years. some people here said if you're 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 have been agitating to change some even calling for separation independence from the states of nigeria. beloved because he is a senior fellow, the tony blair institute for global change. he says the security situation, nigeria has never been so unstable that at city major o. m growth in the country that are operating one in the south is where this happened when in the north west and the north central, which is a criminal gang. no, can you call bonded that has an estimated 30000 men and have been killing people. they have killed over $10000.00 people over the past 10 years and have a store that runs on in billy are millions of dollars. and then in this, not when eastern part of nigeria there is it you had to group a group claiming to fight with his lamb called book or her. and that has huge, over 5000 people. that groups one of each p less ideological pillars is to disrupt

nigeria as democracy. and we know that they do step up attacks when ever elections are to be held, including the last elections in 2019 and in 2011. they even succeeded in force in nigeria election to be postponed by 6 weeks because the security forces said they could not guarantee security. so insecurity. so widespread 3 major m groups and we have never seen this in the history of the country. unfortunately, as i drove the 3 groups, i mentioned a fake news, conspiracy theories and false information on social media is likely to exacerbate things and live to commission, communal tensions, especially because the 3 major candidate to come from 3 different ethnic groups and 3 different parts of nigeria, and we know that an unscrupulous politician sometimes explodes those kinds or 4 lines in order to ignite one community against the other. well, still had here all out. is there

a way earthquakes of ivers who say they're too afraid to go home, even though the buildings have been declared safe? ah, ah. maybe the last bit of winter is just blowing through northern, took it towards georgia, had that cloud there was a few chanst still to come in parts of iran, but otherwise it's daytime sunshine come down. the coastal event though and that 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 roof. most places the sun is out in the winds, not 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 pleasant warming after was if you many weeks of the cold side, there are still shout around lake tanganyika. they form overnight in late victoria,

how po peanut palestinian refugee camp in booth for the next 2 months should meet in the drink. go out or do anything just say chatty, let come. the price of love or no just euro. oh oh. oh, come back here. what channel 0 me so hell, robin. the reminder of all the top stories, the un general assembly has passed a resolution calling for russia to end hall, still at ease with ukraine. 141 of the 193 met donation cited in favor of demanding bhaskar immediately and unconditionally withdrawal. the resolution is not binding but is considered an indicator of global sentiment. and coming out of the war,

a new plane will end to its 2nd year. thousands of people have died. millions have been displaced of the country has been devastated by the fighting since brushes invasion. and another needs a set of canada to nigeria has been killed by gunman ahead on saturdays election by you boy chuck who was attacked on wednesday in the southeast in a new state. the opposition candidate was returning from a campaign rally for his labour policy. palestinian protest as have been voicing the anger of the rates by israeli forces killed 11 people, an injured more than a 100 others. these scenes from the occupied westbank cities of ramallah, nablus, and hebron. the protests were organized by the palestinian group, lyons den, to condemn what they call unjustified israeli aggression. took place on wednesday. the abraham is following development from nautilus well to iran,

moved from one place to another safer one offered by the government with the earthquake. it's just scary because you can't take your precautions. you just feel yourself shaking. if we can take precautions, let's say for an earthquake in the takia, we can go to a label, but the earthquake is happening in all regions. so the military half people in turkey has also been left homeless. but many of those whose houses are still standing, say they can't go back as a bag, sent this report and gas into cold and afraid fall in 3 earthquakes in the space of 2 weeks. many people don't feel safe in the homes. they're sleeping in the open areas like parks and carport mccomb took my losses 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 is an earthquake. my children feel safe for i side, so we stay at side in our cars. the fire keeps their hands warm,

but it's quite 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 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 in 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. 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 after the after shocks. and the latest ether. quick, ma'am, as wife says she'd rather brave the cold than the 9th floor of the building. it's

shake every time there's enough to show. we've seen residents across the city. the thing in the cars and 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 tip doesn't appear of the usaa people in a small tiny ohio say that they're concerned about the long term health effects. after a trained carrying toxic chemicals derailed, some of complained of headaches and coughs variance related to the carcinogenic materials released into the environment. i'm 0 is hydrogen, castro, husband. ah, within days of the derailment, the tracks owned by norfolk southern railway were fixed the money making cargo back in transit. but life is not back to normal in east palestine, ohio, and the towns for a 1000 residents. wonder if it ever will be. we came out there, spell hits you right away. gladys king lives in a nursing home 2 kilometers from the derailment site. the air appears to be clear

now, but everyone has been drinking bottled water ever since more than 400000 leaders of vinyl chloride were released from the derail train cars in a controlled burn on february 6th. if they were going safer than what they were, they wanted to rail. they wanted a rails all that wouldn't have been the atmosphere and we wouldn't be breathing all that in his 1st visit to the crash site and stung by accusations of a slow response to the crisis. federal transportation secretary keep booted, judge pledge the government's help. they're going to have support from us when it comes to holding norfolk southern accountable. they're going to have support from the p i when it comes to making sure they get accurate information about the safety of their air, water and soil. and i think they can have support, they ought to have support from the country that are seeing what they've been through. on thursday, the national transportation safety board released a preliminary report that said an overheated wheel bearing cars with derailment.

it's a 3 member cru correctly followed procedures, and the train was traveling below the speed limit and investigated hearing will be scheduled in coming weeks. this was 100 percent preventable. we call things accidents. there is no accident. it has been nearly 3 weeks and the contaminated oil is still on the site. it is underneath those plastic tart. the railroad company says it will haul all of it away and set up the ground water monitoring here, rather than say, that should have happened long ago. do you trust the assurances that you're getting from the railroad company and from the government? half and half, i know not to almost everything because we probably can't tell us everything. but for the most part, you know, yeah, 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 stolz are again hitting the us, but it's one of the extreme weather conditions are happening. that is causing surprise. rest no full blanket. it hilltops in the san francisco bay area on thursday. and there's more snow in other parts of south west of the country. the fence visit warning since 1989 is in place for the mountains north of los angeles between 35 centimeters and to meet the snow could fall by the weekend. perhaps less surprising, but still unusually cold. the storm conditions across the north of the u. s. of us, montana has recorded temperatures of minus 23 celsius while parts of neighboring north dakota expecting minus 30 to some 25 degrees below the february average. and minnesota could break its record the snowfall. meanwhile, the east coast is expecting unusually warm weather. washington d. c is expecting. temperature is close to $28.00 degrees,

which equal the record high february, when it's normally about 20 degrees cooler. pan african revolutionary leader, thomas and kara, has been re buried at a memorial science and picking offenses capital. what could do, because hack has more 35 years after his death, a final good bye to thomas hunger and 12 of his companions who are being laid to rest at a memorial in walker duty sancho, a pan africanist revolutionary, who was also a feminist and an environmentalist, he sought to lift his people out of poverty and emancipate them from what he saw as the shackles of the former colon will. power france says should reveal innocent. only april, so lucky he is being buried where he was assassinated. this would hold revived the illusion and keep his legacy alive after the tragic death. a court last year convicted several military commanders and sanker as close as friend former

president blessed can power for their role in the sassy nation. the trial started after france agreed to release secret documents, but the court failed to determine whether france had any involvement in sanker as murder. the burial comes days after burkina faso genta severed military ties with france. hundreds of french special forces were asked to leave the country on sunday . he peremptory, who took power in the coolest year, blames france for a heavy losses in the battlefield. the country faces a surge of attacks from arm groups linked to al qaeda in iso. many of the fighters are villagers from the north of burkina, faso, turning against their government. troy is trying to associate himself with the memory of son kara, in an effort to unite the country, compliment law. if you caution fool a wall when you're carry a weapon that can kill and you're an uniform need to understand implicature.
