the country's modern history, the forbidden real art one the birth of afghan cinema on a just 00 is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard? how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas? of course we cover major global offense, but our passion lies and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how was fine libya, yemen, the south region, and so many others, we go to them, you make the effort, we care, we straight ah, the fight for back moot ukraine warns the situation is getting worse in the longest running battle of rushes ye along. invasion ah,

i'm fully back to bo, you're watching al jazeera live from doha also ahead. you k prime minister. we she so knock is in belfast to build support for the post breakfast tray deal. he's struck with the european union from over the moon. yesterday. we managed to have a decisive breakthrough with all the oceans, with the you reached agreement. the new winds of framework that i think is an extraordinary positive step fennel than all that. jerry is 2 main opposition parties calling from a cancellation of a presidential election saying that results are being manipulated. and beijing says the us is politicizing the pandemic as washington cost or clarity on the origins of covered $90.00. we start with the city that's 4 months has been the focus of the few is fighting in

ukraine, present voted muse lensky is warning. the situation in the eastern part line, city of back mold is getting worse. regional separate is need to send nearly all the roads into the city and now under ration control, the area has been the sight of a bitter deadly battle for more than 6 months. which can avenue oxidise in both the situation is constantly becoming more difficult. the enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions for fortification and defense . our soldiers defending in the bucket region are real heroes. in the book, as here is how dr. hamid has more from ukraine's capital. keith. well certainly the korean forces are under enormous amount of pressure as we understand it. the russians have been trying to insert the ukrainians from the north east and the south of food and have been quite successful in advancing into 3 directions over the past few days. now do you korean forces on the western part of the city they're

holding ground, but it's becoming more and more difficult residents. it ends. he has been warning about this for a while. this is not the 1st time, but certainly his latest remarks do. give an indication that my mood could be lost. it's not lost yet, but that could happen in that case. certainly for the russians, it will bring about a long awaited victory. it hasn't had one militarily for a long time. actually since october, russia has lost a lot of ground in the north east of the country when it pulled out of the hockey region during that ukrainian counter offensive. that took the russians by surprise and also then after that in the south, in the southern region. when it was forced to abandon the regional capital of the city of his own. so certainly for russia, it will be a great victory. and it will also become a strategic victory in this says that from back move,

it can then push towards cities like comma tours and levant. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has accused the us of planning a so called provocation in ukraine using toxic chemicals. let's start with you earlier. we're going to come on february 22nd, the wilson center for when shall american in j o held a conference and events in the ukraine? speaking of the events, a former us ambassador to russia, john sullivan said, and i quote, was russian troops planned to deploy chemical weapons in the area of special military operations. when you got this information as an intention of the united states themselves and that accomplish is to carry out a publication in ukraine using toxic chemical. we will, we gave warning that if any such a presentation deploying toxic chemicals takes place, we will identify the true culprits and punish osama bin job aid has moved from moscow. the ministry of defense for the 1st time has actually detailed

a plan of how allegedly chemical weapons have been brought into ukraine in near the done yes, the region. this is where intense fighting has been taking place for the last few months. the minister defense has actually identified the number of bo gave the type of chemicals it says could be used and which will be a violation off the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons treaties. so it is all happening this morning in russia. this seems to be more alarm bells ringing. the actual fighting never use u. k. prime minister wishes to knock is in belfast to shore up support for his new post racks. it trading deal for northern island. he reach an agreement with the european union on monday, but still needs the support of the democratic unionist party. he says a d a may address many unique concerns. i'm really pleased if i got over the moon that yesterday we managed to have a decisive breakthrough with all negotiations with the e. you reached agreement. the new winds of framework that i think is an

extraordinary positive that for northern ireland and it represents as the european in president herself at a historic moment for us to move forward and results on the difficulties of the past. well, here's how the so called northern ireland protocol has changed when the u. k. left the e. u. a customs border was drawn between northern island and the rest of the united kingdom. which angered unionists under the windsor framework. goods will be separated into a green lane for goods traveling to northern ireland and a red lane for goods moving into the e u, where we challenge has more from belfast since the deal was unveiled on monday, richie sooner has been basking in quite a considerable amount of prey, certainly in westminster and amongst the british press people genuinely surprised. nothing encouraged her by how far reaching and deep are they steal, goes and also this new constructive tone or of the you case dealings with the

european union when you compare and contrast that with her the tone of years gone by certainly bore us johnson her and and lis trust took a very different attitude, sir, to the european union. but richey soon. ag, i think, should let that go to his head, because he knows that the real acid test for this test is how it goes down. in northern ireland are particularly how it goes down with the d u p, who will be measuring it against their 7 tests. the criteria that they think that it has to meet or to get their approval. and they are, i think her cautious about, given that approval just yet, they're going to be going through the deal line by line, making sure that there are no traps for them. there are and working out whether they can come to a consensus view on that. and that might take some time to nigeria in our election observe is an urgent candidate to accept the results of saturdays, all is not counting continues slowly. a tightly fight election has seen long delays

and reporting results with opposition bodies alleging voter fraud. harrow more tasa has more from abolition. people are still waiting for the actual commission to announce the next batch of results that hasn't happened yet or not years have been told is that they are some delays and it could be a couple of hours before the next few batch of results are non. so of course it makes some people anxious about you, said was give you a mood of the mood of what's going on in nigeria. officials say, despite these glitches, ill keep announcing these results despite the protest from some opposition parties . and in this one obasanjo, he's the former president of nigeria. he came out and he said he's concerned about the delays. and he says that in areas where there was a violence and glitches those people in those areas should be allowed to vote. again. this paper shows results from the few of states that have been counted so far and verified and it shows to nibble from the apc governing party is kind of the leading. but a lot more states still need to come in. so this may very well change,

right? not all people could do is wait to see when these officials will be ready to he said, next batch of results. ah, chicky has began work to reveal the homes of one point. 5000000 people destroyed in the palo at quakes abstract the south, the country more than 50000 people were killed in turkey and syria with elections just months away. present oh, on has played to rebuild as soon as possible, but his government is under pressure to prioritize safety founders. i shall i hereby report some karma, marsh levant turner has come back to his neighbourhood in got a man mirage to recover his belongings. his family had to move to a village nearby, but levant says he intends to return. as soon as his parents house is rebuilt. you,

my mother surgeon, you know mother. so yes am i told you that i want to spend my life in marsh. i was born here. all i want is a home that is built on solid ground and in lie with construction regulations. margaret eager to count her growing criticism the acted slowly during the earthquakes. government officials have pledged to finish reconstruction within a year. she is emerges in there. this is the biggest earthquake mobilization in the history of turkey where establishing new urban planning for affected cities. and we will ensure the cultural and demographic identities of those cities are preserved. ah earthquake every is being clear, paving the way for huge construction sites in affected areas. city official say, thou determined to build houses that are going to be stronger, safer and better. turkish society is divided on how best to move forward after the

devastating earthquakes and staggering death to all the government insists or rebel then quickly so that those who lost their homes don't find a permanent shelter. but for many experts and architects is about making sure citizen buildings are designed to withstand powerful earthquakes and save lives. rooms for you, but not everybody is convinced the government is doing the bye thing. sold bork, i good cheered mors is a construction engineer. he says the authorities should 1st stop giving zoning amnesty is to builders of by late seismic construction codes look are you will adorable. new st. you harden so since love the army of youth with the ongoing aftershocks from time to time. i'm wondering whether the building not is the right thing to do. the authorities have arrested dozens of builders and amelia, for violating safety standards. for no victims of the earthquakes

continued to deal with grief. they know nothing will ever be able to compensate for the loss of their loved ones. hush, mom, but al jazeera got a mon mulash and live now too aren't you serious? terry? isabel is joanie as from gassy and to have been 7 turkey. teresa, the government has been under a lot of pressure, as we've heard, is reconstruction, something that's being talked about, or is it too early? while most certainly something that is being talked about and that people enhance that are leaving intense like this one that are can be seen all around that area that have been affected inter kia. i very much hoping to see very soon, you know, when, when you talk to people here, many of them have had their homes destroys others. their houses were damaged, but they did not want to go back to those houses because they're afraid they're afraid because of the constant aftershocks audio earthquake that happened. for

example, on monday, a 5.6 earthquake that killed at least 2 people in my life. b a that's about 3 hours away from here. search and rescue teams again on the ground, the rescue. it's 32 people. so that's have to, to the tension to the, to the fatigue, to the anguish, to the fear that many of the people that are leaving or say i tell us that they're suffering right now. the government is promising to build $300000.00 homes in one year. they have also announced over one i, 180000 buildings have been destroyed doing this earthquake that they will be in the process of demolishing at least 2000 buildings in the near future. so. so you can imagine that the scope and the challenge that to 8 at stake right now, but the 1st priority, it is the level, there's millions and millions of tons of level $200000000.00. some people estimate here in turkey that need to be removed from this country. if put it into comparison of the size, they would add up to $17000.00 football stadium. so the task is enormous.

if we wanna have a sense of how much time it will take to overcome this challenge, this rebel challenge, we can look at the examples of other countries that have endured a similar earthquakes, although not this magnitude. so if we look at japan after the, the devastating earthquake consume nami of 2011, we see that it took them more than 3 years to deal with 30000000 tons of rubble. and here we're probably dealing with 7 times that, that volume. so i think we need to measure it in, in years, although things can be done shorter terms. yeah. so the government is also asking people not to permanently live their cities. they're asking them to relocate for the time being, but they are telling them i'm promising them that they're talking to architects, to engineers, to urban planners, to be able to rebuild many of the cities and villages that have been destroyed. and

it's a huge challenge, mostly because of the cost. i mean the world back, his bank is estimated, it would cost over $30000000000.00, and the aftershocks an earthquake complicates the situation even further. this country, economies in trouble. there's very high inflation. the currency continues to depreciate, so people hearing intense like this one that are leaving in best conditions are hoping for a new home soon, but they know that it may be a while before they're able to move into a new house. very so thank you very much. for that, theresa ball reporting there lie from gassy on tap in 7 turkey. cilla head on al jazeera, seeking justice survivors of the war in stand western awful region speak out on the lasting impact of the conflict. and after canada and the usb european parliament benz, chinese social media optic talk from staff homes. ah,
