leading to a new wave of palestinian retaliatory action. you are one of the most one thing, but is that a al jazeera world investigates to new on groups gaming, public support, and meeting israeli forces had on a new phase of palestinian resistance on al jazeera. there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places the state i'm 0 really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, lou ukrainian officials say 3 people have been killed by a russian drone strike in the key region. we're going to be alive from the capital .

aah! i'm about this and this is al jazeera life and doha also coming up. the chinese president ends his visit to moscow off to a show of solidarity, but not much detail about his proposal to end the war in ukraine. 1000 spend the night on the streets in pakistan and afghanistan after an earthquake shakes the hindu kush mountain range and israelis are allowed to return to 4 illegal settlements and the occupied west by and casual laws overturned by politicians. ah, granny, an official say 3 people have died in russian. john strikes in the cave region military sources say a civilian object was damage on the attack and rescue workers are still at the scene. staffing deck is joining me now from keith. what's the latest on this drone attack? yes,

it appears to be to residential buildings and an area se to of the capital. as you mentioned there, from what we understand from rescue workers 3 dead to injured. and one person was pulled from the rubble. it's the 1st time in months that a civilian building has been struck in the area surrounding or inside the capitol, the ukrainian military saying that 16 out of 21 drones iranian may, drones launched by russia overnight were shot down. and we heard airstrike air raid sirens in the evening across the country as well. we've just had a statement from the ukranian president vladimir zalinski calling these, you know, yet another a bowers of murderous drones. launch ukraine, as the russian president talks, peace referring to a brief statement that he referred to ukraine and choosing ping, the chinese president's visit there. he has now left by the way, the chinese president has left moscow, but staying at the same time,

they launch these kinds of attack. i think it is important to remember also key, relatively speaking very much away from the frontline. yes, you do here, era sarmens go off it almost on a daily basis, but it is a reminder that then all of the sudden yes, strike can happen again because people here really do no longer respond to those air raid sirens. but i think a reminder, again, these jones strikes overnight at this still remains a very active order, but shift the focus to crimea. russia saying it's maybe as repelled during the talk . they are what more to be know about that? ah, yes, i must go back governor of sebastopol in crimea, saying that it for how to shut down 3 drones that we're entering an area where the black suite c feet is based on of course, alleging that these are ukranian drones. are there been multiple strikes on russian facilities in crimea over the course of this war?

never claimed by the ukrainians as follows. on monday, we also had reports the ukrainian military saying that various russian cruise missiles were destroyed in an attack. it appear to be the transportation of these crews, metals in a train station, again, no confirmation, but this is an as to who was behind it. but this is something that happened monday video emerge. you could see night time pictures of burning. and so this again, in the last 3 days, a gives you a sense of again, ukraine never confirms these kinds of attacks. but that it does try to at least, you know, premier was annexed in 2014. it's home to the russian blacks to see fleet that fleet uses these cruise missiles that have a capacity over thousands of kilometer range on land to fire from the sea at targets in ukraine. stephanie, thank you very much. indeed, stephanie decker, bringing you up to date from keith. japan's by minister from your casey day is in

warsaw after ending his visits to ukraine is alive pictures from or salt, where he's speaking with a polish prime minister on tuesday. he should have met president luxury zalinski. keep where he's promised. japan's support is also visited. the town of vulture, russian forces are accused of killing more than $400.00 civilians last year. and therefore, he stood up. chinese president, she's in paint, has left moscow as daphne was saying, after 2 days of talks with president vladimir putin, the 2 leaders issued a joint statement on tuesday, calling for responsible dialogue to end the war ukraine food and says beijing's proposals to and the conflict could be used as the basis for peace settlement, but that key and the west do not appear willing to resolve the situation here. the journalistic julia shop of oliver says, president putin will be very satisfied with the visit. so many vitally important issues have been addressed during the meetings. the ukranian conflict, as he said,

economy trade, energy. he praised beijing's, of course proposals for a peaceful settlement of the crisis in ukraine, said the plan i can be taken as a basis for further agreements. many actually statements of the plan coincide with russia with russia. the approaches purchase spoke about the growing trade ties between the 2 countries. a tray turnover between russia and china has grown 116 percent in the course of 10 years trying to russia the leading foreign trade partners when i and also the leaders find statements on deepening relations of partnership and strategic cooperation between the countries and the plan for the development of the key areas of russian chinese economic cooperation until 2030. what is also important, according to mister pearson, the russian federation is ready to switch to the you want and trade with other countries. not just for russia and china you on payments will be in place for russia and the countries of asia, africa, and latin america. according to pearson,

russia will increase food supplies to, to chinese market, to the chinese market. the will be exports of neat grain and other agricultural projects approaches. regarding energy, russia remains a strategic supply of oil, natural gas, including l. n, g, coal, and electricity to china. the lead is discussed also the construction of the power of siberia to gas pipeline, which will pass through mongolia so plethora of issues which will have massive future impacts. here is katrina, you reports the chinese leader will also likely be pleased to the meeting. she, jim ping has quite successfully, i think use this visit as a platform to promote china's piece plan. now putin said himself that they would discuss this and, and both sides during this meetings that they would board, wanted to more to promote dialogue, to prevent this conflict. in ukraine, from escalating now, it's clear that there was no concrete outcomes in terms of improving the situation

in ukraine thoughts. what matches to be doing is that she didn't bring at least appeared to be a global statement statement and peacemaker during this trip. and the 2nd thing that they didn't achieve, well, it really is the optics and your fix word that this is a strong trying us supporting and propping up a weak russia. and it does seem that putin was the junior partner here needing. she didn't pig. now we didn't see trying to crossing any red lines, offering, for example, military support to russia, trying to feel very much needs preserved the health of its relationship, especially economically with you. but at the same time, we did see china supporting vladimir putin throwing his weight behind him, putin and needing russia to stay strong, no matter how ukraine war ends. and this is because china desperately needs a russia not to fail. and putin to remain in power for the increasing confrontation

that it finds itself in its increasing tensions against the united states. it needs to be strong and, and back there in its corner, as that situation with us seems to be getting worse. researching people have died from magnitude 6.5, earthquakes trucks, northern afghanistan, on pots to pakistan. it was centered on the hindu kush mountains to the northern african province of buck. some people in kabul were outdoors from the quaint cad because it was celebrating the persian year. many chose to spend the night doors. at least 9 people died in pakistan were hospitalized in place on high alert. we're going to go to acid is joining us now from la hor asset. we were just watching some of the pictures they were taken out when the earthquake struck. you felt the earthquake in lahore where you are. what's it been like? well yes we were in a hotel rooms in the building began to shake and it's only a 2 story building. so we made our way outside and we find many people out on the

streets. many people here had felt it. they felt the strong earthquake, and then images emerged from isabella than elsewhere, people out on the streets, the scared, and also some filming the damage that had been done to the building, some showing the cracks in high story buildings as well as some other smaller buildings. now people were fearful when we spoke to people last night, but it seems to have calm down this morning. i mentioned before, at least 13 people have died in across northern afghanistan and pakistan. we got any more reports on the casualties and damage we'll be hearing from authorities here in the habit of doing choir, which is northwest from here, the capital, the shower, which is around 530 kilometers. that felt that the earthquake strongly there's been about 9 deaths in that region and over 150 people injured. and as you said, hospitals have been put on high alert. now we've also heard from the authorities that they have been a number of landslides that have locked up roles and hybrid corps and also some of

the northern areas of guilt. and both this done now that will inhibit a site to try to get to some of the remote places. and there are many remote villages here inbox and also in the highest on and access to those will be difficult after those lab slides. but as you said, has been about 9 depths hair and over a 150 injured with hospitals on high alert. we can see the traffic moving along the strings behind you. what is the mood like now this morning? just a few hours really after this has happened. well, it seems like business visual this morning, but when you speak to people, there is a sense of fear because people were taken, taken to social media. they already been some predictions. people are claiming that there would be an earthquake in this region, but turkey is in the forefront of people's minds. people have seen the destruction that is taking place in that country are also going back to 2005 in flux on your administered kashmir. there was a stronger effect that killed a right 87000 people,

and that's still in the forefront of people's minds when you speak to people. yes, it's business as usual, but they are still fearful. many people did choose to spend the night side in some citizen, some remote villages. so yes, that they are asking questions. whether this is the only us going, there will exist whether there will be more even, maybe after shot. but the holy month of ramadan is approaching tomorrow, and that seems to be the main order of business here this morning. but yes, it is only a few hours after the earthquake and people still get as i beg in the hall, i said, thank you very much. as as parliament overtone part of a law, the band illegal settlements in the occupied westbank has been in place since 20 o 5. when his release sellers were ordered to leave during israel's withdrawal from gaza. work awesome sheriff reports here and liquid. really, settlers as the nested lips have been on for settlements in the occupied mass bank

. it allows settlers to return to illegal outposts. 18 years after they were ordered to leave in 2005, then prime minister ariel sharon agreed that israel would be drove from casa and seed. the settlements under the future deal with the palestinians. israel has now reneged on that agreement at court campbell. everything exists fair except for the people, the houses, the people who are evacuated and the houses that were destroyed. now we came to fix it and there will be a town there. the palestinian authority has denounced the move most of montana thomas lawyer. 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 its open battle against the palestinian people. the you and israeli ally, the us have condemned the decision. last month, the israeli government announced it would recognize 9 settlements in the occupied

west bank since the $967.00 war israel has established round a $140.00 outposts on palestinian land. the settlements are illegal under international law and the you and has previously described them as a war crime. israel is retreating from international comments. well, israel is denying a the seizure. it's also bring calls to return the land of those settlements, goods, dry goods, palestinian owners, any de, also denies a law. the law of disengagement which was accepted into san 5 when when is earn pulled out from gaza. the changes at the latest in a series of controversial moves by prime minister benjamin netanyahu was far right coalition government, which took charge in december. it comes at the time of height intentions, and the worst violence between israelis and palestinians. in recent years on the

consumed sheriff anxious era, after turbulent few weeks of financial news, investors are watching a decision from the u. s. federal reserve, as ju in several hours. it could raise rates to continue curbing inflation, or it might pause given the turbulent banking market. but as given, alessandra rewards new york, the world's largest economy is still facing some challenges. the u. s. economy is certainly giving off a lot of mixed signals, right now. on one hand, there's a banking crisis that has the markets teetering, but there's also some positive signs as well. i spoke to maxwell and economists to your new york city to try to 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,

in response to 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 economists say that 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 helped 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. but 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 i'm, since americans are working, they're also spending money at a record pace as well. so what are we to make of all these conflicting signs of 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. economics is, is the beginning of something new, the end of something old or something we haven't seen before. the confounding u. s. economy certainly giving off mixed signals everywhere. still had an opposite of toasting the local vintage. we're going to tell you why ukraine's wine industry is driving the shadow of conflict avenue and one's of a global water crisis. seeing one in 4 people has access to safe drinking water. ah

hello, it is looking very spring like now across so much of here. we have got lost clear skies into central and eastern parts, high pressure in charge here, keeping it settled and pleasantly warm and fair amounts of sunshine. not quite the same over towards the or the west particular the north west where we have weather systems rattling through. there we go with those blustery showers which will lead just drifting from the atlantic. but as i said, his feelings bring like at least it is mild temperature, getting up into the mid teens there for paris. and for london was still very touchy 21 degrees, a 10 degrees above the seasonal average. hey, we have got a few showers down towards the southeast to was to clear up towards the black sea bulgaria, seeing some sherry rain. but as you can see, much of for central europe than across med, fine, dry, pleasantly warm,

and sunny temperatures getting into the 20s. here as we go on to thursday more those showers are longest. bells of rain streaming in across sierra north west north pass a france seeing some heavy rain for a time just pushing down towards the low countries bits and pieces of snow. they're into scandinavian, some re pushing into the baltic states. it's fine to try though. once again, across the good part of the mediterranean, not quite the same for libby over the next couple of days. it is wet and windy showers. ah, with join the debate, we know that the surgeon is empowered by going through the government and stained by the daily government today they are to government africa. health security is also global. help security on an online at your voice. there is no right to defense . there is no right to protest, we can't just keep relying on aid. there has to be some work towards a sustainable economy. at the end of the day,

it is ordinary objects that are paying the price. this tree anal dedira. ah ah you want to go to 0 reminder of our top story is this or at least 13 people were killed and dozens of been injured across of janice on pakistan after a magnitude 6.5 of court. many and both countries and spent the night outdoors after the trauma, china's president teaching paint has left moscow after 2 days of talks with president vladimir putin. 2 leaders issued a joint statement calling for responsible dialogue to the end of the war. rating officials say 3 people who died in russian drone strikes and the key region,

ukraine's forces, say they shopped on 60 or 21. iranian made jones launched over night by russia. well, the fighting in ukraine's prompted many locals to turn to home grown products to show patriotism. and in response to import prices, announcement the countries wine industries, enjoying an unexpected boost with stephanie decker found out. it's still too cold for these vines to fill with grapes, but their owner can afford to be patient. this organic wine producer on the outskirts of keith produces 23 different types of wine, with a little dynamical board. so in 2016, i planted a plot here and started experimenting, making mistakes, mistakes, and more mistakes. and then in 2019, i got a license that has started producing craft wine at home at optimal. the 30th of craft lines are a relatively new thing in ukraine. wine isn't historically part of its drinking culture, but that's changing the skin convent. acknowledge it. it's very interesting line.

and surprisingly, the war here in the long term ceased was given the industry a boost when the war follow on the holiday. there was no fuel and no workers early on in the war as many fled or joined the fight. then later in the year says increase for us because we were able to reach more restaurant throughout central and western ukraine. others will not a lot of people move there because of the war and started to pay more attention to ukraine in winds. and restaurants, ordering more as a result of sales in now up by 20 percent since before the war. you may not think of ukraine as a wine making country, but it's an industry that's been growing over the years, both in production and consumption, and what the war has done is turned more and more ukrainians to home grown products . and that includes wine. alexander describes the wine to this group of friends, and they are eager to learn more. this bar only sells ukrainian produce. alexander

tells us in more than 10 years as assume a year. this last year of war has been the 1st in which he's focused more on ukrainian wines. i think her ukranian people are stark to drink. ah, more ukrainian wines you're in there last year. and because of better diesel 1st the fall and 3rd, 2nd wong. i think of their quality or for ukrainian wines in your, in the last few years ah, increased a lot. that seems to be the consensus here. the wasn't a federalist without the shaw wines of ukraine in production are the future. from my point of view, we can compete with other countries because our wines are really tasty and beautiful. have a wonderful blend. and i hope there will be a new trend in ukraine why. the war has made many people prouder of being ukrainian . they want to learn more about what's being produced here, and they're increasingly preferred to spend their money on what's been grown at

home. stephanie decker al jazeera keith said, curious as north korea has test launch multiple cruise missiles towards the peninsulas eastern waters. sol says the missiles could have been long range and is not yet clear how many were launched. pyongyang has ramped up military tests in recent weeks, as the u. s. and south korea carry out joint drills is an imminent risk of a global water crisis. that's according to the un, which is hosting its 1st conference on water and sanitation in 45 years. in new york, it says more than 2000000000 people don't have enough water for at least one month a year. 26 percent of the world's population doesn't have safe drinking water and nearly half of them don't have adequate sanitation. the urines warning water shortages are going to get worse in the coming decades, especially in cities, unless there's better international corporation. our diplomatic editor james base

has more from united nations headquarters in new york. 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 demanded urban areas around the world is likely to increase quite 80 percent. by the year 2015, i've been speaking to the foreign minister of bangladesh, about the challenges his country faces regarding water is really important problem with this because really well and country we will eat and if, if to 73, west criss crossing the country. in addition, we in the peep up the bell, been lol, and the in the emotion into specifically what is our life everyday life and their poor album late to the had been lot with abuse of water and water is so the ocean said, great preserver for it. on the carbon emissions the global warming. and nowadays

since we're abuse in water, and i, the chemical plastic as it is of 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, besides industry, i mean egless, he be indices also to upkeep the waters. and they're put this conference is really very important to one. but this, in addition, we also have many, the worse, 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 but i mean and cashman should be benefit. so what needs to come out of this conference to make it a success. tingley need to go look forward to the universal code of conduct in utilizing the what are the sources maintaining the water and also we must protect

and preserve the water across a nation's it's obviously 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 bay's al jazeera, at the united nations form a u. k. prime minister policy johnson's due to give evidence to apollo mentoring committee in a hearing that could determine his political future is accused of deliberately misleading parliament, but gatherings held a downing street during covered 19 locked ends. the privileges committee is made up of its 7 am piece for conservatives, and 3 opposition members. johnson has admitted misleading parliament, but he denies that he did it deliberately or recklessly. if the committee rose against him, it could recommend a sanction. and that could mean an oral or written apology,

a temporary suspension from parliament, or even an expulsion if committee issues a suspension of 10 days or more, an automatic recall petition is held. that means johnson could face a new election for a seat. more than 200000 people in the u. k. have now died from covered 19 as donna hall reports from london. the emotional cost is enormous for the families left behind. amanda henry remembers her dad robert in happier times. for this woman, sir, nearly as high as my cousin's pope. he's tonisha for her what? she will all pause. she tries hard not to think of him at the end, withered by dementia stricken with covert in the east london care home where he died. we trusted the government to protect all of us, especially the mos monroe in our society and live they just didn't do it. cove it

19 ravaged homes across the country. places with tests and p, p e were in short supply. people like amanda will be watching closely as former prime minister boris johnson gives evidence about his actions at the time. the privileges committee isn't investigating where the voice johnson acted illegally with respect to those drink gatherings in downing street that became known as party gates. the police have already decided that he did what the issue here is whether he deliberately misled parliament, lied to him when he told them, at the time that no rules had been broken. i'm sure that whatever happened either guidance was followed. the rules are on it at any time. at stake, potentially is johnson's future as an m p and his career in politics. the problem is, this really is high stake, high pressure bar is johnson, because if he does get it wrong, it's game over, back to the drawing board. but if he's able to come away from this looking

favorable then who knows? the come back might be back on after all, but i think the odds are stacked against him. maurice johnson intends to mount a robust defense. he'll point to advice he received from officials that drinks parties at the heart of government were work events and therefore that he was unaware. any rules were being broken. the committee will counter with evidence from downing street employees, including one quoting johnson, joking as an event that this is the most unsocial distance gathering in the u. k. right now, i don't think he should have a korea and aiden government. he shouldn't be an em pay. and after what he's done, it upsets me, but he's not being held accountable. amanda and families across the country may have to wait years for the findings of an independent inquiry into the government's handling.
