on a job, you know, we know what's happening i region, we know have to get the place if that others cannot. i would only be a guy by the police on purpose. and then i'm going on with the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. russia, one ukraine has sent shock waves across the globe with what does it mean for its neighbor? georgia decided not to, to ross tolerant, because it's very much pro, brush up with the country still, partly on the russian occupation, an influx of russian citizens. and then elite with moscow connections, many ga, see the conflict as a barometer for their future. this window for porcine t old pump because you're in of course ukraine, fight our fight as well. georgia stuff choices on a jessia ah

ukrainians. remember their dad, while the president, valves to when the war against russia has the fighting and to the 2nd tier ah, on the brought him and this is out of the on line from don't ha, also coming up more western sanctions against russia, the united states, the g 7 nations and that you target financial institutions and business entities, classrooms destroyed by bombs, which i can look at how school children calling with the impact of the war. and nigerians hours away from residential election as they grapple with cash crisis and threats from on

ukrainians have been paying tributes to their loved ones, have lost their lives in the war against russia, which has entered a 2nd year bolstered by western support. ukraine still stands and president allowed him as the lensky had fled to when the war. this year adrian finnegan begins, are coverage from keith heads bowed, side by side, but alone with their thoughts. soldiers at a ceremony, and keith marked a moment of silence for the fallen. such has been the toll of ukraine's year of war that each one of these troops will know the personal meaning of that ukraine's president certainly does. through 12 months of sacrifice and loss, he's met many families like these mothers without sons, wives without husbands, children without fathers for them. and those still fighting,

followed him as lensky had a message. yep. a shy salam him. we've see i am proud of you court. we all each and every one a proud of you, i'm michelle. i'm grateful to everyone who endured that february this year. and who gives you crane invincibility? may this be proudly proclaimed everywhere? ukraine is alive, alive, but now intimately acquainted with grief. many ukrainians have been to more funerals in the past year than they'd care to count that you cried is still standing is of course because of the resilience of its people. but it's also down to support from international allies who given backing to ukraine's military and economy in keith to mark the anniversary of russia's invasion, was the prime minister of poland, one of ukraine's staunchest allies. and he came with news, the shape or sky occupied folk today, a copier ship to day, the coalition that poland starting to build the leopard tanks with much success. now consists of several countries. i want to hand you flooded me as the 1st

european country to do so. the 1st for leopard tanks, coverage of the mobile armor, ukraine has been requesting for months is starting to arrive. but it once more to push washing forces back across ukraine's internationally recognized 1991 borders. and zalinski is asking for western warplanes next a video. sure. as of dicky, i believe the t to our and our holy sh brothers persistence with all our allies will be able to overcome another defensive taboo. the taboo of an aviation coalition shall after failing to conquer ukraine in its initial blitzkrieg, russia hope sick and exhausted through a long war. but ukraine says it's spring counter offensive is coming at it wants it to be decisive. adrian finnegan, al jazeera keith. now the leader of russia's wagner merson regroup,

says it's taken full control of a village on the outskirts of the eastern city of buckman, a village of barkeep, carly's just outside the frontline city, which has seen intense fighting. ukraine says it's armed forces fought back against attacks near the village. and the european union has become the late of western power to impose a new round of sanctions against russia. the e, you says it wants to hinder the kremlin ability to fund its war and star russia of technology and spare parts for its military. earlier the us and coordination with g 7 countries also announced new sanctions targeting moscow. a main objective of our sanctions has been to degrade russia's ability to wage war to, to private of the goods through sanctions and export controls. it needs to supply its military. and i think we've been quite successful in doing that. over $9000.00 worship tanks have been destroyed over the last year,

and the biggest tank factories are shut down because they're unable to gain access to the inputs that they need a to repair or rebuild tanks out. we're seeing them are really trying to look all over the world to find the equipment that they need to supply their military. they're turning to north korea to iran. now the united nations security council has meant to mark the anniversary in russia's un ambassador interrupted a minute silence called full by the ukrainian foreign minister saying they should be honoring all victims and not just ukrainians. i kindly ask everyone to observe a minutes of silence. in memory of the victims of the aggression, i think mister president will come

the representative of the russian federation has asked for the floor to make his statement. responding to the mistake mister president, we are getting upon our feet to honor the memory of all wicked. and what has happened in ukraine starting in 2014. all of those who perished all lives are priceless. and that's why we are rising to honor the memory of them all the while at the meeting, un secretary general. antonia gutierrez said that while the guns are talking now the road to pieces through diplomacy and accountability. over the past few of the schools who has more than 40 the bites on cranes, the guns are talking now. but in the ends, we know, we all know that the best of diplomacy and accountability is that outlet justin, sustainable peace be seen line with un charters international law. and yesterday's

resolution of the general assembly. we must prevent further escalation. she hop returns he has been following the special council meeting at the united nations headquarters. the western alliance was able to attend this meeting of the un security council in the manner that they had intended, brandishing a un general assembly resolution endorsed by 141 of 193 member states, calling the russian invasion of ukraine. illegal. however, at the same time, country of the country, both of the general assembly and the security council is calling for immediate negotiations now to achieve peace. and that's a position that nato does not agree with. i asked the british foreign secretary why it is about protecting the un charter, the foundation document that has kept the world safe for the postwar period. that's what it's taking. that's what we're seeking to defend china, india, brazil, south africa. i don't understand the you and charles, when they call for unconditional peace dogs. now we want the war to stop. 141.

united nations recognize countries voted in the un general assembly in support of the resolution. however, it was clear up the security council, the western nations are aware of the growing unease at the need to position of war without any mechanism for conflict resolution. now, the u. s. is announced an additional $2000000000.00 in military assistance to ukraine. he has moved from patty calhane in washington. a day after this began, the us president asked congress for $3500000000.00 in military 8 for ukraine. a year later, the amount has increased almost tenfold. in the beginning, us provided stinger anti aircraft and javelin, and armor systems, portable, easy to use weapons designed to target plane and tanks. but as the months have passed and the battle lines have shifted,

analysts say the pattern has emerged. the by demonstration is taken in it of approach building on past deliveries to ukraine, testing the waters, seeing the reaction, both from the international community and russia, and then escalating the sophistication in volume of assistance from their over the course of the year. the us has continued to supply fingers and javelin, adding, and which place known as suicide, drove, and howitzers, basically mobile canons and the roads to go with it. they provided air defense system, nice amps, which is for shorter to medium range intercept and also the patriot defense system which is meant for longer range intercept. they provided highmark that is a gps guided rocket system that is allowed ukrainians to target russian further from the front lines. and now abrams pegs, although the pentagon says they're having those built along with training, that likely means they will be on the battlefield anytime soon. it's a long list that the u. s. continues to add to each time us visuals debating and assessing if it will cross russia's red line,

which some russian experts say could happen if russia's president, latimer putin thinks he's losing. one of the things that russia could do is to take out one or more of the satellites that, that allow ukraine to use this precision guided munition arsenal effectively on those satellites are in fact vulnerable. and there are a lot of things that the russians could do to interfere with them, and that would certainly be a dangerous ask latoria step a year in ukrainians are asking for longer range weapons and fighter jets so far. president joe biden has been clear on his answer. the great answer he's given before ukrainians, hoping once again they can help change his mind. patty, gl haine. al jazeera washington. now, over in russia, this is what people in moscow have been saying about the war or special military operations. it's called there was

a dynamic which took my expectations. i won this to be over soon as possible. of course, we're waiting for rush to win in the special military operation. the whole world's against us. nato countries are fighting us, do ukraine, supplying them with equipment. and then there were the nazis, what we're looking for to winning this year. and hopefully, the sooner the better for this to end right now, but can yes, not walk on law. war is of course bad. but this year has shown that no other decision could have been taken and that we are defending our independence is freedom. a chance for the future, the future of our children. therefore, we want victory. so which encouraged the mirror which i really want piece, i really wanted all to and as soon as possible, too many victims, marley speaking and materially, we pensioners feel at all a sum of enjoyment reports from moscow. but by and large, this is what you will hear here in moscow, where people will tell you that they stand behind their country, that they're rallying behind the president. but you have to bear in mind that if

you were taking seeing something the opposite, they could face penalties to discuss what has happened in the last year. we have with this all the company from the higher school of economic. thank you very much for taking the time. it's been a year. it's been a tough year for many russians as well. why do you think opinions have changed towards supporting president bush not away from him? while i think we have at least 2 reasons. the 1st a while we're understands as a beginning of special military decoration. we're starting to concept from its active freeze. it's been to support russian speaking. people are in eastern part of ukraine. are those people who'd been oppressed for many years? even a low choose russian language, we're not to do anything really to choose the need for native language and the transportation. so this support, so definitely it is understandable. but even some people who had a certain, you know, reasons not to support this country because

a great and people to our brothers lanesha and so are, but they would understand. so it does it, does it necessary? and the, i thank you very much for those views. that you have, this is predominant the, the view that you will hear in moscow that they stand behind their president stand behind their country, and the war will continue until russia achieves and all out victory. a human rights groups, as russian police have detained dozens of people in moscow, at least 3 people were held by police officers for laying flowers on mon, on a monument to ukrainian poet. 15 people were detained for lang, flowers, and saint petersburg. russia has introduced tough new laws against those who it says, discredit the army. now china has released to 12 point proposal to end the conflict and ukraine. that proposal for those talks between top chinese diplomat one g and russian president vladimir putin. beijing is calling for an end to western sanctions of russia and urging moscow and chief to hold peace talks. the proposal

calls for the establishment of humanitarian corridors of the civilians and steps to ensure grain can be safely exported from ukraine. it also warns against the use of nuclear weapons and the conflict as well as attacks on nuclear power plants. katrina, you has more from beijing. china has so far failed to condemn russia's invasion, isn't crane. and repeatedly, we've seen bathing town. it's no limits. rock solid friendship with russia and over the past year. trade between the 2 countries has also sought, not only that, we've had president, she didn't even speak to vladimir putin at least 3 times in this past year. we know that the, the 2 are 2 personal friends, and he's also planning to visit moscow later this year. and conversely, we have not had, as far as we know, any effort on cheating thing is part to reach out to is a lensky. now the us says that china is supportive, russia could be going even further that beijing is planning or considering sending

weapons to russia for use in its war machine that so far, this is something that baiting denies still ahead on al jazeera, broadcasting and exile, we meet some russian journalists fighting to express freely and severe when to weather as reaching have across the us more than 2 minutes of snow expected over the coming days. ah hello, welcome to another look at the international forecast. we have more very nasty weather making its way across north america as we go on through the next couple of days behind this cold front list stuff here that is the colder air coming through and over to was the west where we could get another system looking so there will be yet more significant snowfall, heavy snow at times coming in across the good parts of california. so we can see

that when she makes just setting in the san francisco around 11 degrees celsius. allie could see some snow was well still, and the forecast was the conditions here, some snow, there were to western parts of canada, and yep, there some snow. it was. eastern seaboard, bay cold down here. something like a 10 degree drop in those temperatures, seats in recent days, more to take it back. a couple of days still tested, just ease up on the year. the colorado as we go on through west sunday, not too bad. 14 celsius for d. c. some larvae storms coming into central parts, snow just slipping across the southern rockies at that state. and you can see widespread snow there across at northwestern corner of the us, out of western canada all the way down into san francisco. i certainly will problems here over the coming days. no problem. meanwhile, across the caribbean, it is fine, dry and sunny. ah

ah, ah ah. oh. a watching knowledge of the with the end of the problem in doha, reminder of our top stories, the seller has been one years since russia launched the invasion of ukraine leading

to the largest conflict in europe since world war 2000 people have been killed. a 1000000 forced from their homes. the un secretary general says that a year into the life of the living hell for the people of ukraine. he was speaking at a high level security council debate on peace and security at the united nations. and european union has become the lakes of western power to impose a new round of sanctions against russia. the youth who wants to hinder the criminal ability to fund it for early at the us and coordination. the g 7 countries also announced new sanctions targeting moscow. and now children attending school and ukraine struggle with all the challenges that come with learning, as well as the threat of rush and missiles and drones. with some schools have been retrofit, it would make shift bomb shelters from the pins in bas robbie shows us the reality of being a student in wartime ukraine. far from the fighting children and ukraine are

still connected to it by family members on the front line. and the more immediate threat of bombs from the sky is out of my judgment. it gave me near as an ear, right? i ran, they know what to do. they hide. but the 1st time my son was cry, he told me he was very people that everyone would die. and his mom was not by our children. do not do the thing. they should not be asking if rocker for launched or not. the parents we met said schools central to their community and to stability in their children's lives were not spared in rushes. bombardments with unicef estimates. half of all schools across ukraine are too damage to reopen, and 2 thirds of its children are unable to access any kind of education. there were some of the schools in areas that were held by the russians are so heavily damaged from showing that it will take millions of dollars and years before they're ready

to open for students. again. that's, that was the one school principal said in the aftermath of russia's occupation of his home town. reopening classrooms meant making sure parents felt safe enough to send their children with the help of international donors. this school are converted, a storage place to an air raid shelter. the plan is to build spaces like this in as many schools as possible. so i may be showing not full of commercial, my my and what you say, the biggest concern for us is the children. they are our children and we are responsible for them. that's why, at the beginning of the school year organized per se, classes and psychological training to cope with fear. when we have sirens with all the children of magic, the come to the shelter, they know how to respond and what to do. the what it is not ideal. the student body at the school, numbered in the thousands before the war. now only $200.00 children attend at

a time and only for a few hours a day. because that is the maximum number of children that will fit in the shelter . school schedules made to accommodate the threat of russian attack. it is purpose built to be child friendly, but not fortified or deep enough to withstand a direct hit. every time an air raid alarm stops, and the all clear sounds, the hope is they will never have to use it again. as in basra, the al, jazeera or pen, now the committee to protect journalist says at least 13 journalists have been killed covering the war and ukraine. the watchdogs, as it's investigating where the deaths of 2 others will relate to their work. dozens of reports of also fled, the media cracked out in russia. some of them has face bands and other parts of europe as low step lawson reports from amsterdam. they were in silence for very

long tv rain. oh, darcy is again reaching out to its russian audience now from amsterdam. the independent channel was banned in russia one week after the invasion of ukraine for the coverage of the war. like hundreds of other journalists presented michelle fishman and julia, tara tuta, flat, russia. out of fear of arrest, prominent voices are silenced. either they are in jail or the in put in a position plan. they basically can't open their mouth. since it's escape from russia t v range audience has grown with nearly $4000000.00 subscribers and hundreds of thousands of fuse each day. this fight is, is very difficult for us and because you have to understand that the annual budget of russian states, me propagandist smith more than 1000000 euro. and the

combined budget of 31 russian meter in zeile is just 6200000 euros. we are like that it and got f, while originally an english language newspaper. the moscow times has increased its readership by also publishing in russian and for them as becoming new home for russian media and exile. the moscow times was forced to leave the country. it was operating in for nearly 30 years. its sudden departure shows how journalism and press freedom are among the victims of this war. not only in russia, but some say in western europe as well. this is ricky international. when the european union decided to ban gramlin back media, russia today, and sputnik, a few months into the war, the dutch federation for journalist formerly filed a complaint. what we've see on our tea or sport tank weakens header also as propaganda, and as not being in the been your listen. but at the same time,

we feel that it's very worrisome. if a state, if the political leadership can decide on what people in altering in european countries can see or not can see in russia, journalists risk 15 years in prison just for using the word war. it sir. military pilot has completely failed. but it's inner propaganda part is succeeding. that's we have to admit that as well because this enemy is much weaker and easier to to crush. meanwhile, tv rain fights hard to stay on air, offering a different narrative to its russian audience. the channel was recently banned in latvia for comments that were considered pro russian. the channel is fighting that decision steadfast and i'll just hear

a amsterdam to all the news. now. the death toll from the earthquakes that devastated parts of turkey and syria has now passed $50000.00 rescues in northern syria. still searching the rubble of buildings destroy. 2 weeks ago. aid has been slow to reach the region complicated by the ongoing civil war and opposition. how areas many people are still looking for the bodies of family members by hand. we were removing rock after rock and finding nothing underneath. people under the country screaming, get his out, get his out. but we'd come up with empty hands will not let him know how many people spend 2 or 3 days under the rebel. some stable if i for days, nothing was working on the hands alone. when's enough? we lost children. i lost my brother and his children and my cousins and their 25 people. now was the nigeria are electing a president and members of parliament on saturday. the race for the leadership is

said to be too close to call. mohammed jump june reports from a boucher many nigerian said these elections could not be happening at a more critical time in the race to choose the president, vice president as well as members of the senate and house of representatives. the stakes are extremely high. this 2 people are they are very hungry, the snow crash on row and in lieu to cause will how most time does not take care of our fellows. are out the capital. people have a long wait to get fuel and it takes even longer to get money. that's because of a rushed redesign of the national currency and a botched roll out of the new bank notes. 18 candidates are campaigning for the presidency, but opinion polls suggest only 3, have a chance of winning. nigeria has more than $93000000.00 registered voters and about 40 percent of them are under the age of $35.00. that's why many here believe the youth may play a pivotal role in the outcome comes up. the wall is among

a new generation of activists speaking out against corruption in nigeria and promoting good governance to the we have over 100000000 people that are very poor unemployment of i said, 2 percent unemployment treats one of the highest ever. he believes many of the economic problems are a result of growing insecurity in the country to very will last foreign direct investment because the engine government cannot guarantee safety of life. so the property will hold from natalie book while her up now to also, you know, succession is in the south east and we have burgundy in the village of reuben mother key on the outskirts of a boucher mercy. daniels works in a plumbing shop and says she hopes the ballot will go smoothly. i will be a live shows to be fair. it should be fell and that she look and fly loans to me. the english shock, few nearby shop owner on union of holy worries, whether her son and daughter will be able to get the education they need. we are

sofa and loads. in dismay, i prayed that we thought i fled to sailors jones method and saw no land in a country where so many people are hoping for change. they're also apprehensive about what these election siblings hammered him doing is either a boucher anti government demonstrations had been held in the iranian city of zaya down after reports of security forces, trying to enter one of the city's main mosques. video footage appeared on social media of demonstrators and the capital of the troubled sustain baluchistan province . the areas being one of the focal points of the protests that erupted and september last year, after 22 year old martha meanie died in custody human rights group say at least $231.00. people have been killed in a brutal crack down and protested in the region. now at least one person has died in the massive one to storm that's raging across the united states. the storm has
