flight from gutman do was fullest passengers. 15 of them were foreign nationals. footage posted on social media shows the flight 5 lonely between pro atheist appears to make a sharp turn before coming down by standards captured footage of flames rising from the wreckage. it could be that the air cross go. i mean, that's an aerodynamic stole. when the speed is too low and one of the wings stops flying in siri. com that should never happen. or if they had a sudden engine fire off to say off, they should have been able to continue all the remaining engine. poor maintenance and deluxe standards have led to several fatal accidents in napoleon recent years. here in nepal, flying can be challenging as it has some of the worlds most remote runways, surrounded by mountains and difficult terrain. it can be challenging for pilots to land in the yeti airlines. a craft was reportedly 15 years old and equipped with an older transponder with unreliable data and investigation into the cause is

a very big line. but in general terms, a nepali airlines are not thought of globally as being particularly safe. in fact, no airline from nepal is allowed to fly into the european union because of their safety record. and it does appear though that the aircraft stalled. and that's the ation term for when you lose lift from the wings. and usually you lose one wing before the other, which is what seems to have happened here. the aircraft was pointing upwards, and then one wing the left wing drops and then spirals into the ground, which suggests that the left wing had indeed stalled but to say. and the asian term for running out of lift when it's not got enough airflow over the wing surface, basic part of training for all pilots to be able to cope with stalls and to recover from them. and particularly not to get into a stalled condition in the 1st place. so we don't know how that happened. and by the time they were trying to recover, it was already too late. ah, the number of people killed in saturday's russian missile attack on an apartment building in the southeast has now sword to 30 rescue workers in denise pro are scrambling to look for survivors trapped in the rubble. dozens are believed to be still missing from keith. here's natasha butler. i smoke billows from the rubble, his rescue was continued to search for survivors in the city of emergency teams. it went

near this man's house. elsewhere in the capital, people took shelter after a series of explosions while cities including hockey, even the viv, we're plunged into darkness. it's terrible what happening nipple, i hope there aren't any more victims. it's a shame that the whole world is watching these and that no one can stop this horror . they could, of course, but they don't want to. ukraine's military says a shot down more than 20 of over 30 russian missiles that were launched in the biggest wave of attacks on the country since the new year. because a yogurt in auction years, napoleon boyle, green, ukraine's president said one only way to stop what he called russian terrorism was for the west to send with more weapons. even a does roy a year. the weapons that our apartments have in their warehouses are the ones our warriors are waiting for you. if time runs out, we could not stop the terrace were methodically killing our people with missile wyatt. but now, britain says it will send some of its challenger to tanks to keep the lensky hopes that will persuade all the western powers to do the same and help ukraine better defend itself against more attacks. like this. natasha butler, al jazeera keith. russia's president vladimir putin says the military operation in ukraine has gained what he calls positive momentum. in the media briefing, the defense ministry didn't specifically mentioned to me pro, but said that the russian army carried out a successful missile strike on ukraine's command system. on saturday, the little girl l. a massage strike was carried out against ukraine's military and infrastructure. shy, gentlemanly, all assigned objects. we're hitting, the targets of the strike have been achieved on the ground in ukraine. there's a fierce battle for control. raging in the east. russian forces are inching closer towards the city of buck mood, a major transport hub in the 20th region. trough stratford was there were to spend the last few hours inside the besieged city of bar mote were here at a new ukrainian tank defensive position on the outskirts of the town. effectively. the reason why these men are here is because of an intensification of the shelling of buckman in recent days. we do know that russian forces have taken control of a loss, at least of the town of solid on the surrounding areas to the north apartment. and we also know, and we saw today the intensification of shelling from villages to the south east of bottom route as well. an indication of russian force is trying to completely surround the city of bar mood. we spoke to some of the estimated to 2 and 5000 people. civilians are still living inside the city, most of them refusing to go, they say because they've got nowhere else to go. but most of them elderly and the infirm as well. living on the desperate, desperate conditions, i mean, the town has had no electricity since august. and you can imagine how cold that is in conditions like this. no water since october. as i say, the big fear now is that wasn't forces or trying to completely surround bottom of what you can hear there is artillery. far in over our heads, we understand at positions of russian positions on the eastern side of the city, of the conditions there. absolutely atrocious. we spoke actually to one man who described having to finally leave his house in that area of the city around 4 days ago. because he said that the russian forces were coming in there. we know, certainly according to the military that we've spoken to in recent, as they say that the russians all making advances in that area. and as this defensive position is an indication of the ukranian army or high a load for further russian advances. earlier i spoke to alexander the vote via the editor in chief of the swiss military review. he explained why russia is set on capturing the town of solid. r salazar is not important as such, it is not the possession of the town that is important. it is important because of the context, it is very difficult. it has proven very difficult for russian troops to take about mood. and so they are now trying to in circle the city. and we're, we're going to see most probably it to this russian advanced, is not successful. there will be another movement in order to try and circle a wider area in order to finally eventually take about mode. and then of some of that. so you're talking about the battle for buck moved here. how strategic is buck lute and is the battle for buckman representative of the current state of the war on ukraine's eastern front. in order of importance is worth one quarter of all the russian forces that have been committed to this special military operation. so the rough and at least seem to weigh this as a very significant, very important element. and it is the only area on the field today where the russians are actually advance. it is so russia appointed valero, a garage model. he's the most senior general in the country as us overall commander for the war and ukraine. this is just the latest in a series of shake ups of moscow's military leadership. what does all this mean? and is it going to make a difference? in short, it's not a very good sign for russia. because if you are going to change the commanders of an operation during the operation, it means something has gone wrong. it means you need some fresh blood, some fresh brain power in order to address the situation. and it is not a good sign that russia has actually appointed the chief of general staff, who's the most senior military person in the armed forces into this particular role . and it is even worse, that the previous commander really is actually staying on as his deputy. so you could understand the co imitation of between the different personality going to be quite difficult. hundreds of millions of people are on the move in china for the lunar new year. despite fears of further coven 19 outbreaks, health authorities have announced nearly 60000 hospital deaths in the past 5 weeks . that the sharp increase from previously reported figures the world health organization has appealed to china to keep releasing information about its

holiday here in china, akin to christmas with family since 2020, since virus restrictions were lifted up. so it is a very big deal. many people have not seen family and friends for these 3 years. an understanding of aging railway station, you can readily see crowds of people exiting the subway beginning their journeys home. even though looney does not begin for another week, the government says that there has been a surgeon ticket sales for plains buses and trains, and that they're estimating $2000000000.00 trips will be made across china this year. that's double the amount of trips that were made last year about 70 percent of pre pandemic levels. now it's also expected that people are not just going home to see family. there's also expected to be a domestic tourism room. and a lot of people are heading to popular destination here in china, such as united and santa people are also going to macau, in hong kong. especially since the borders have vino been and many are also choosing

passengers and katrina. how are people dealing with concerns about the continuing spread of corona virus? ah, well, the chinese government has released new guidelines encouraging people saying that if

heard over the weekend, the government announced new jobs or about the out. right. kids saying that since the beginning of the restriction being lifted at the beginning of december, 60000 people have passed away in hospital due to clover 19 and the vast majority of them will over the age of 65. now because of this, the government says at the strengthening of hospital beds, ice, you beds and, and other facilities in the rural areas are also pushing to get more people vaccinated. but still, people are still planning to make their trips harm. this is not enforced. mandate, this is just guidelines encroachment by the government. and i guess the positive news here is that the government has said in most areas, including major cities, the wave of infections, the peak seems to have passed. and so far, tiny cdc says that they have not identified any new strains of coven 19 here in china. all right, themselves years. katrina, you live for us in beijing? thanks so much. katrina still had on al jazeera pharmacies across europe. are running out of severe several common medicines as winter infections sore, and new evacuation orders have been issued in parts of california,

13 drugs commonly needed to treat conditions, including covered 19 and cancer. dominic can reports from berlin in the laboratory as the dell pitch pharmacy in paris. medicines are being prepared. in this case, it's the common antibiotic amoxicillin. the owner here says, since people stopped wearing masks, they are catching more infections again. so the demand for simple medication is higher and the major pharmaceutical companies cannot keep up. the shortage of medicine applies across europe. at this berlin pharmacy staff are increasingly having to find alternative drugs to those doctors are prescribed in order to help their patients an aluminum there for me at. so basically we have a lot more work to do to supply the population with medicine. so far it still somehow found a solution for people, but we often have to improvise. so sometimes we release another active ingredient more strongly than was prescribed and been had to adjust the dosage, wanted even simple treatments to treat coughs, and colds are harder to come. bye. m, i, i would have preferred a cough syrup, but the pharmacist offered it to me in tablet or that's okay. the most important thing is it helps the same

get it the soon as it was a new. and thus souping. comp commission has decided to give incentives for production so in you, of. but that takes decades right now, some say the you need to consider building up a stock of 3 to 4 month supply of the most needed medications. so that shortages can be avoided back at the pharmacy and listen back. patients are still getting the treatments they need,
