a russian withdrawal from ukraine's territories. i shall borrow as this report. oh. 2 they say it's an alliance without limits. china and russia are expanding trade and diplomatic corporation. the 2 countries insist their relations are far from being a military and political alliance. but she jumping and redeemer, put in, share a growing concern of what they perceive to be an american dominance across the globe for the chinese leader has secured an unprecedented 3rd term earlier this month. this trip could be the moment to establish his country as an international peacemaker. there her worship gowns under. we shall always respect and abide by the un charter. we will always promote peace and also promote negotiation and discussion. a stance is always based on fairness and justice. we will always be on

the side of peace. we are always on the side of dialogue. we are always on the side of his stark venus and justice literally with, with you see, but ending war in ukraine would, may not be an easy task. china is yet to elaborate on it's 12 point piece plan merge. tim badging has called on russia and ukraine to address their security concerns without mentioning russian troops withdrawl, it's a key demand for keith. ah, the u. s. has dismissed that piece plan as a stalling tactic. in the meantime, western nations are stepping up military assistance to ukraine. mr. taylor global minister slab. today, we learned that the minister of defense of the u. k, declared he would supply tank to the ukraine and also uranium in rich weapons to ukraine. i think that the west will now fight russia to the last ukrainian children's chief facing growing international isolation. ladiva put in is turning to president g. jumping and aligns largely shaped following russian invasion of

ukraine. last year. after the e. u. imposed a ban on russian energy import. china stepped in, buying large quantities of tea russian oil provide in cash strapped moscow with much needed revenue. the u. s. considers china the biggest threat to its national security and fears. bay g could be exploiting, rush as in battle, standing to expand its geo political influence. hush about bella. al jazeera, with jealous eula, shampoo of oliver has more now from moscow. the visit all the chinese present to russia causes excuse, re, evergreen, tries, according to analysts. is largely tito basing itself nomination for the role of pacemaker in ukraine. patients arose that the key or resolving the company could be found during shooting pain. talk with russian president lead team period followed

by possible talk with ukrainian leads to landscape if trying to make a little progress on the issue of a peaceful settlement done. this will be a great victory for all, for ukraine, russia and chinese diplomacy in the hands. the russians and the son, how influential the chinese economy is and how it's affecting that everyday line. and the influence continues to grow. so many are trying to go into play out in the future. according to present pace in the countries should multiply, the bullying will trade as so many are going to happen after the visits. will china help russia if a function were russian bonds, they allowed in the chinese payment system? so as the visit continues, it's believed at least some of those questions will be answered. well, us national security council spokesman john kirby says the way for the war to end is for russian troops to leave ukraine on ukraine. i would note that the 2 sides

just said, called the purposes and principles of the un charter must be observed. an international law must be respected. well, we agree following the un charter would mean that russia should withdraw from all the territory inside ukraine. the territory of another member state of the u. n. a member that it has invaded to pan's prime minister female casita has made an analysis it to ukraine. it is the 1st time since the 2nd world war, a japanese prime minister has visited a country during her conflict. because she that matched president vladimir lensky and cave, and assured him of japan's continued support. earlier he visited the town of butcher, where more than $400.00 civilians were said to be killed by russian forces. last year, the russia jojo could ada shelia were the russian invasion of ukraine is an aggression that shakes the foundation of international order, which i strongly feel after i visited keith and butcher to day where i saw the

tragedy of the russian invasion with my own eyes russia says it will be forced to react if the u. k. supplies ukraine with armor piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium. president vladimir putin accuser, west of deploy weapons with the nuclear components. the u. k. has hit back accusing putin of deliberate dis information. stephanie deca has more now from cave. moscow is always made it very clear that there against the increase of weaponry being sent from the west. remember, this is a conflict, not just between russia and ukraine. this is a geo political ah chess board, if you will, is one of our political unless called it recently. you have many different countries involved supplying ukraine with different types of weapons. a stepping it up recently. of course, all the talk ahead of a potential spring offensive by the ukranian army trying to push russia back and recently, just yesterday in a written statement, the u. k. a defense minister admitting that part of the challenge are 2 tanks that

the u. k. will be sending at some point here to keep are going to be including armor piercing ammunition that includes depleted uranium. so this is something that vladimir putin picked up on. it's something that sarah oliver of picked up on earlier today when calling it against humanitarian law. vladimir putin saying that if the west, the collective west, as he calls it, is going to use weapons with a nuclear capability. the going to have to go all the way. now there are reports that israel, his car, about, and strikes inside syria, state media, se explosions were heard in and around the city of a leper. serious defense ministry says the international airport was hit, causing some damage over the past decade. its rural as carried on frequent air attacks on suspected to radiate military sites in syria. will israel's parliament has repealed a 2005 law banning settlers from living in parts of the occupied westbank? the is it paid the way to settle it to return to

for illegal outpost near the city of nobilis. they were abandoned under the law jury. israel's betrothed garza and the prime minister, sir on the bay, drew swift condemnation from the palestinians. most amongst i'm not of thomas y area and the made them in our day. they her, i think when they returned to the so called homage settlement and other settlements . this will show us that this government is going head with its plan to take an annex. the lands and continue it's open battle against the palestinian people. we are talking now about ha monitors since the beginning of the year, more than 1 march or day. therefore, i think the responsibility for the international community is bigger to provide protection for the palestinian people. well, the us state department says it's extremely troubled by israel's latest move. we have been clear that advancing settlement is an obstacle to peace and an obstacle to achieving his duty solution. and that certainly what this legislation would do

would be create new settlement or buildings and legalize out post all of this would further insight tensions and put a negotiated to think solution further away. well, gideon levy is an author, an economist for the israeli daily paper hurts. and he says, the change to the law shows how the government is willing to go back on past commitments. these really is retreating from international commitment is or is dying. the seizure of its own supreme court to return the land of those settlements to it's private, but as an owners, any those so denies a low the low of these again man which was accepted into so 5 when, when is a pulled out from gaza in other words you can address any word of israel because if a commitment can be turned down like this, with a new government,

then they, you know, partners, possible bothers of is in ask themselves what, what does it mean to have a word, the signed word. this is right. what is what is turning everything back. but by the end of the day, it is a better which was decided already. i mean, one more settlement or one less settlement will not change much. the 2 state solution is dead long time ago. so practically doesn't have much meaning, but symbolically as a lot of meaning. so now there is an imminent risk of a global war to crisis. that's according to the united nations, which is hosting is 1st dedicated conference on water and sanitation. in 45 years in new york, the un says more than 2000000000 people globally experience water shortages, for at least one month a year. and 26 percent of the world's population do not have safe drinking water.

almost half like access to adequate sanitation. the you and warns at war shortages will get worse in the coming decades, especially in cities. if international cooperation is not boosted, that's enough from our diplomat to get it to a james base who has more from the united nation. this is the 1st conference of its type for more than 40 years. some presidents, prime ministers, as well as many ministers from all around the world have gathered here in new york . they know the problem is very serious. the estimates suggest that water demand in urban areas around the world is likely to increase by 80 percent. by the year 2050 . i been speaking to the foreign minister of bangladesh, about the challenges his country faces regarding water is really important turban, but this because really what i and country we've had 857 drivers criss crossing the country. in addition, we in the peep up the bell been lol,

and the in demotion into specifically what is our life everyday life and their poor et al blade to the had been locked with abuse of water. and water is so the ocean said, great preserver for it. on the card when emissions the global warming, and nowadays since we're abusing water and i the chemical plastic as it is all the global warming is, these absorber is not absorbing as much to this. and we want to say this plan attacked. and one way to save this planet of besides and disconnect the cb indices, also to upkeep the waters. and therefore this conference is really very important to run by this. in addition, we also have many diverse which comes from other countries, $57.00, the rest comes from other countries and we have to develop it, program policy. so that all the people of that are in the line and

cashman should be benefit. so what needs to come out of this conference to make it a 6? i think we need to go look forward to universal code of conduct in utilizing that. what are the sources maintaining the water and all so you must protect and preserve the water, the cross donations. it tells us the good news that so many countries are talking about water and talking about cooperating on its use privately. though diplomats will tell you that all the commitments that come out of this week's conference will be voluntary and there will be no final binding agreement. james bays al jazeera at the united nations. what even countries with vast water resources such as columbia suffer shortages in the last 2 decades access has been declining due to climate change in population growth out there, or heard from one woman living in a poor neighborhood and book a tar supplies?

make sense of it all. most americans are nervous, some are really suffering, and no one really knows exactly what's going on. inflation was a big deal last year where it reached over 9 percent in june and response, the federal reserve raised interest rates and it did the job, bringing inflation down to about 6 percent where it is today. but that's still high, because most economies say the target is around one to 2 percent. inflation will be less of a problem going forward, but we have a lot of instability risk around the global supply chain and around the conflict in russia and ukraine. higher interest rates might have help low inflation, but it's also had a negative effect on the housing market. that's because interest rates during the pandemic, we're down to historic lows of about 2 percent. today, they're up to about 7 percent. what i think the housing markets best days for

a while are probably in the rear view mirror, not the windshield and americans are working. the us added over 5 100000 jobs just in january and over 300000. in february, the unemployment rate of 3.4 percent was the lowest since 1969. and since americans are working there also spending money at a record pace as well. so why don't we make of all these conflicting signs on this economy? every time we see a piece of data, we have to try to figure out if this is the new normal usual, or abnormal. that's usually how we look at things. think of alex, is this the beginning of something new? the end of something all or something we haven't seen before. the confounding u. s. economy certainly giving off mixed signals everywhere. uganda is parliament is bank to sweeping anti gay legislation, which would impose tough new penalties for same sex relationships. offenders could
