man. mars man trade says it carried out air attacks on choose day on a village more than a 100 people died. ah, on sammy's day, then this is al jazeera alive from dall hall. so coming up ukraine's president accuses russian soldiers of be heading a ukrainian soldier. kremlin says the video needs to be authenticated. air quality in beijing drops is heavy sandstorms hit the capitol and other provinces in china. and we look at why several states in the western u. s. could be forced to cut their water consumption me in mars, jointer is admitted. it carried out their attacks that kill more than

a 100 people on tuesday. the military said those killed in the village of past the g or fighters from the people's defense force and the legitimate military target. but as tony chang reports, evidence from the scene suggests most of those killed was civilians. many of them were children should warn view as the report contains some disturbing images to people shelter in a ditch. the sound of heavy caliber gunfire can be heard in the distance. the sound of an army firing on its own people, government and a frank admission from the spokesman for the military government vega on state tv. they don't when where's with our oh, go on the bottom. yes, of course we launched the attack on them. we were informed that pdf were killed at the event under the attack. they are opposing our government. when we met major generals omen, 2 and 3 weeks ago in the capital ne p door and asked him about similar tags that

have killed scores of civilians. he answered then as he does now, these are legitimate military targets and those killed a competence. but new and distressing footage from the aftermath of the attack shows bodies that are clearly those of children. as corpses are removed from the area, the death toll has risen to more than 100 people, the highest number killed in a single events since the crew. the final number of those who died may never be known because of the severity of the attack. al jazeera asked the exiled unity government, whether this is likely to stop our groups fighting against the gentle dental route . we started our revolution with basic hunting rifle, so this is an unfair fight in many ways. but the military's weakness is that they don't have the manpower and there's no support from the people. targeted sanctions

from the u. s. u k, to try and cut off supplies of fuel for memos. air force seems to be having little effect. while the military government appears set on a scorched earth policy, tony chang al jazeera bank of now russian soldiers are being accused of beheading a captured ukrainian soldier in the video. ukrainian president of me is that the sky says the act will not be forgotten nor forgiven. but we have to correspondence on the story. dosage of ours in moscow will be speaking, turn just a minute. but 1st, let's go to jonah how, who's in kit and java, so details time to trickle out what more we learning about this. well, there are, in fact 2 videos that emerged overnight. they make for pretty grim viewing. they can't be independently verified. and for both of those reasons, we're not able to broadcast them. clearly,

the 1st video shows or purports to show to ukrainian soldiers beheaded lying on the ground. next were destroyed military vehicle. that the 2nd video is rather more graphic. it purports to show a russian soldier be heading a ukrainian prisoner of war, but looks like a ukrainian prisoner of war, also torturing that soldier. and there assigned that that soldier was in fact, alive at the point when the beheading process begins. as i say, it is extremely grim, no independent verification. it is impossible to verify the context, the units involved, where or when this may have been shot, although it's been pointed out that the foliage, particularly in the 2nd video nation green, suggests that it was shot at the very least. well before the onset of last winter, it's gained enormous traction on social media here in ukraine. the ukrainians are certainly treating the video as genuine members of the leadership. the political

leadership here has gone so far as to connect russia to islamic state. as a result of its generating quite significant international reaction as well. the un mission in ukraine says it's pulled by the video of the european union, echoing the fact that it can't be verified, says if it's confirmed, it's yet another brief reminder about the in human nature of russian aggression and going on to reiterate the use firm commitment to holding all perpetrators and accomplices of war crimes, to account and president lensky has issued a video statement calling on all world leaders to react. as you mentioned earlier, saying, don't expect these to be forgotten. we are not going to forget. here's what he have to say. efficient, you see there's something that no one in the world can ignore, how easily these beasts kill this video. the execution of the ukrainian captive, the world must see it. this is a video of russia,

as it is the kind of creatures they are. there are no people for them. a son of brother, husband, he someone's child. this is video of russia trying to make this a new norm, such a habit of destroying life. an issue as go now to dosage a body. she's in moscow, we're getting any reaction from moscow to these videos. well, sammy, we've heard from the criminal spokesperson dmitri pest golf, who commented briefly about, see 1st reiterated that the video has to be verified, but he called it appalling and really disturbing. this is something that the russians will certainly be looking into if and when that footage is verified. for now, the only comments we've had is from the chrome and spokesperson, who reiterated that they need to verify the footage. and regardless of that, they do find the images disturbing. and also we've got

a change going on in the draft process. how is that going down while it was just passed a short while ago in the upper house of parliament, the federal council, as it's known here in russia, where members of the upper house, 163 of them voted in favor of this draft. a bill and one against that that will see changes to how the russian defense ministry deals with mandatory military service for russian men ages between $18.27 right now, prior to this, there was a process that included sending out letters to men telling them they had to report to these facilities by the, for the process to begin for them to serve in the military. now that's going to become a digital process. meaning that there's, as soon as their data is uploaded on the central system, they will have to report to one of these facilities within 20 days. and as soon as

their data is uploaded, they're not allowed to leave russia really making it more difficult for men within that age group to be able to dodge the draft. that is part of the law in this country. this bill is now going to go to the russian president vladimir putin who will signed it into law. it was passed because according to the crumbling they and this process has been chaotic, a mess after they try to enlist number of people over the past few months into the russian military for their service. it also means that life will become more difficult for people who will not abide by the slot. right now. they have a 20 day grace period. when and if they don't show up within that period to one of these facilities to report for duty, they could see their lives become very difficult to continue in russia. meaning they can't rent property, they can't get a loan from the bank. and they will be really not be able to move around very easily and have their daily lives up ended as a result of it. all right,

thanks so much jabari the now the united nations secretary general is warning. a famine is looming in somalia as it faces its worst drought in decades. antonio tallish says the international community must that to prevent the catastrophe. urgency medicine assistance is needed for 8300000 salmoneus. and we must now act to prevent the capacitors. the 2020 city madison response plan which seeks $2600000000.00 us dollars is just 15 percent funded. when famine looms, this is thoughtfully and acceptable. catherine saw is the market issue. she has more than what the chief had to say. he's he has the wrong top, the money, terry, and afterwards, because he's saying many, many people in somalia are suffering. so we went with him to

a region in the south west west. thousands of people are making their way to that area in by just trying to get help, but then the assistance there is very, very limited and people are leaving rough. so the secretary general basically had a conversations with people who are displaced there about their needs, which are massive. and he also calls on the international community. do more of a farm in for thousands of people out for 2000 people actually have died. and the last one, and yes, the secretary also help with the president about the, you know, the, the security situation in the country. we have been talking to many somalis who is saying that beyond the, beyond the help that they need,

they want to see more in terms of measures of resilience because a lot of families are saying that they need to break away from the cycle of violence and dark and drought that we have seen for so many. yes. u. s. president joe biden is in northern ireland tomorrow. the 25th anniversary of the signing of the good friday peace agreement. andrew simmons is in belfast for us. let's go to him live there. sandra. how is the visit shaping up well, it's, it's quite a question mark really because this is a major celebration 25 years of peace. but with it comes, the central issue with a good friday agreement was power sharing a unison nationalists together equally in terms of power, a default government, but that's not functioning right now. and with it comes in security about the

politics of northern ireland and all, and the attendant issues such as possible instability in communities with protestants. the paramilitaries who are obviously that they, that guns are gone, but they're now wondering what is the future then you have a situation with the republicans we saw on the eve of biden arriving a pipe bombs found in london dairy off for a march. now the agenda is that issue of devolve government in northern ireland. can it be revived? that's probably will. most certainly when biden met a u. k. prime minister richie sooner that would have been on the table, what can be done, and in putting it on the table, you immediately put bricks it on the table, which has

a pretty negative history with relations with the united states. in that that had to be a potential for a hard border in, in trying to get bricks it through. that was a non starter because it could have actually made the 2nd law worse. i there was a see border and there were trade restrictions on northern ireland, different rules. and so the democratic eunice party pulled out of that devolved government as a protest. there has been the windsor agreements as it's called, the winds of framework, which basically lightens the loads slightly in terms of restrictions. and it also gives northern ireland back the trading arrangement with the u. k. but it's still not enough for the units. they say that they want to be part of the u. k. they want to be the same as the rest of the u. k. in terms of rex it, i and andrew a little bit of criticism surrounding the duration of the visit, right?

well yes, i mean on that agenda point there, that's the meeting with the with, with sooner dealt with and then you have well, quite soon the, the president will arrive here also university. it is an extraordinarily large development for belfast. it's got 15000 staff and students this quarter used to be . busy known for its poverty in its violence and its divisions. now it's a bustling a quarter. it's symbolic of what the future holds for northern ireland. and indeed, how it's developed in terms of how privileged people feel now that they've got peace and have a generation unit be diversity. students here who've never known anything but piece, and therefore there are so many positives here is just this point about how all that evolved. government gets back together and how some pressure can be brought on . the politicians is likely in biden's speech in which with which we're going to

get next. at some point, he will actually refer to e can economic development. the may be office from the united states of investment . that could be conditional, of course, even if it's not written down as conditional, but they will need definitely need some sort of political settlement here. if that's to take place. or i, thanks so much. harrison's still ahead on al jazeera, hundreds of migrants being brought to safety in italy after the government declare the state of emergency on immigration. we hear from survivors of america carried out by m. 23 rebels in the democratic republic of congo. ah frank assessment just just means to give them the basic human rights, not only in the camp, but also inside the map, informed opinions 5 administration are very concerned about this development

levels. its source is in the rocky mountains, its fans more than 2300 kilometers. 7 u. s. states rely on the river for their water supplies. so 2 areas in the north, west of mexico. reynolds has more. after 23 years of severe drought, the colorado river in its reservoirs have dwindled to alarmingly low levels. if they dry up even further, it could cut hydro electric generation and water supplies over a vast area. worst case scenario, where everyone will void with you know, water river available to the river to serve yearly. $40000000.00 people in the west depend on the colorado for drinking water and electricity together with billions of dollars worth of foreign products. even though we have a largely above snow above normal snow pack in colorado. we still,

it doesn't mean we're going to have great run off at this point on top of the fact . the drought has been such a long standing drought over the last, you know, 5 years to a decade. plus that it's going to take a number of years to overcome this deeper drought that we have. western states are allocated water under the terms of a 100 year old treaty, but despite protracted negotiations, the states have been unable to agree to changes and cuts needed to address the shrinking water supply. divided ministration proposes equal across the board cuts for each of the 7 states in the compact up to 25 percent. if approved, that would certainly cause some pain, perhaps, especially for farmers who use 75 percent of the water pi from reservoirs. but also for city dwellers certainly will transition or adapt

to less wider. base sure cuts more additional out here in the western united states. we've seen extreme rainfall over the past several months, but scientists say one wet winter is not enough to make up for 23 years of severe drought. so it seems that one way or another, the people of the west are going to have to get used to using water more sparingly . rob reynolds, al jazeera los angeles. all right, that brings us to the end of this show, but the news continues online. as always, just have over al jazeera dot net, the lead story that he saw, the jewish groups entering along the mos compound inside story is next. and the ring back in the and a few minutes. ah
