8:02 pm
it's our 3rd through. you know, i have to speak with our people. like you, you know, like, like president and say people throughs and the truth that we have different information. and now the best friend for enemies that hispanic in our country. and all this information details only for bernie doesn't help us. meanwhile, on the streets of the ukrainian capital key ever war veterans where among thousands on the march in a civilian show of strength and rushes for in secretary sag loved accused us of waging a propaganda campaign during a phone call a few hours ago with the u. s secretary of state antony blanket. while we have a door seizure, barry standing by for us in moscow with the latest russian reaction. but for us we go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hawk it. kimberly that all important our phone conversation between
8:03 pm
present biden and put in underway at the sour yes, we understand it began about 4 minutes after the last hour. and by all indications, it is still ongoing, watching very carefully for updates about when that call ends and what was discussed. we do know from the contents of the call that took place between the u. s. secretary of state and his russian counterpart that we assume the message will be very similar from the readout from the state department. the message communicated by the united states to russia is the diplomatic path to resolving these security differences over ukraine remains open. but in the eyes of the united states, russia needs to de escalate to and engage immediately in good faith discussions. now, should russia ignore the warnings of the west? it is the belief of the west that essentially if latimer who decides to invade
8:04 pm
ukraine, his actions will be met with resolute, massive, and united transatlantic response. so this is the message that was communicated. we suspect that is the similar message that is being communicated as we speak. now, in terms of this call, what we should point out is that it was put together initially, or at least suggested by the russian side. it was then suggested by the united states that it be on saturday versus the monday that initially was proposed. that leaves in question, what's happening on sunday. a lot of concern about what may happen, given the fact that u. s. military intelligence suggest that we're now in the window where an invasion could occur at any time. kimberly, thank you very much for the moment. kimberly hawk live in washing of course, will be checking in with you for the latest on that phone conversation between prison biden and voting as good of you now from moscow and dos, strawberries,
8:05 pm
air force, a lot of diplomatic contacts happening today. door. so what is the view from moscow about how the con, the stations are going, ah, well, the russian officials are remaining very quiet. the details that we're getting about the communications that are going on between high ranking officials here are all coming from the other side of the conversation. not the russian side. we have heard from the lease a palace where they said that the ammonia microns spoke with vladimir putin on the phone for about an hour and 40 minutes earlier on saturday. and according to that, a communique, the french president has heard to know, has received no indication from vladimir putin debts. russia is ready to take it offensive against and if 80 offensive action in ukraine. he didn't believe that putin had any interest in invading ukraine, according to that readouts. the french president also said that sincere dialogue is
8:06 pm
incompatible with escalation. and that's recommended also at the same time, french nationals do not travel to ukraine. but to, at this conversation, also highlighted out on the russian side, that's vladimir putin reiterates at debts. the security guarantees that this country is looking for are being ignored and that conversation is being ignored by their americans. where as the responses they've received from nato and the u. s. government about russia security demands to have not been addressing the main core issue. and that is at russia's concerns about nato's further expansion. so at that is one of the most latest conversations of vladimir putin has had of course before starting his phone called with us president biden. we also heard that the russian defense minister and spoke to his american counterpart earlier as well as the russian foreign minister of speaking to his american counterpart. so it's been a day of a plethora of diplomatic phone calls being made. a lot of talking indeed happening
8:07 pm
. and adding to the tension dosa or the russian saying a u. s. submit has violated russia's territorial waters in the far east. what were you hearing about this was courting to the defense ministry here. this incident took place the are the coral islands in the pacific ocean, and it rushes for this east point and just near japan. and apparently their russian navy is carrying out lewis an act exercises there. and there was an american submarine that came into russian territorial waters. apparently, and they are russians warned the americans and the americans didn't respond initially. and then it was a 2nd warning. apparently the americans submarine left the russian territory a waters. now since then, the russian defense ministry has summoned the u. s. military attache here. and that we just heard from the defense ministry saying that their country reserves the
8:08 pm
right to use on any means to insure their safety and security in its own territorial waters. and that provocative behavior by the us submarine, oppose the threat to russia security. and that the a russian defense ministry urges the u. s. to prevent and such incidents from taking place in the future. this could also explain the reason we had a very unusual phone call between the russian defense minister survey, chicago and his american counterpart. so it's something that doesn't happen very often, but the 2 men apparently discuss security measures. and i think it's clear now that this incident that took place earlier on saturday was at the top of the agenda. so it just shows how sensitive and tense the situation is. that the moments and date door said you barry in moscow, thank you for that. and al jazeera is natasha butler is in ukraine's capital kia if she says many people, they're feeling anxious despite the president's calls or com. he's calling on
8:09 pm
people not to panic, and that's pretty much been his message over the past few days and weeks. he is saying the business of life must go on as usual. but at the same time, of course, what is happening in ukraine reality here in kiev. is those several countries have decided to advise their citizens to get out of the country as soon as possible, unless they really need to stay here. and on top of that, you have the u. s. embassy pulling out all of it's a diplomatic stuff. so all of us, of course, is making some people feel really rather anxious indeed. now, at the same time, you have moscow saying that it has no intention of invading ukraine. but the u. s. has a very different story. washington painting a different picture saying that could be an attack, an invasion, a by russian military force is on ukraine at any moment at any day. so that is that the situation, it is extremely tens people here are still of course trying to get on with their
8:10 pm
daily lives. but as the days pass is certainly much more pessimistic picture right now than it was earlier in the week where we were talking about hope and optimism. where diplomacy seem to be working in some way to find some sort of solution. right now people are in a very unpredictable situation. meanwhile, russia is continuing military drills with bella. russian forces set boston is near the bela roast ukraine border. she says the exercises are raising more concerns about moscow's intentions. there's a lot of anxiety about these exercises that officially started the, the main face a couple of days ago, officially belarus and russia are training for an attack by and they told they these are war games. but as a lot of speculation, if this through build up was basically meant for something else, maybe a 2nd front for russia, basically in belarus, they can easily go to the ukranian capital key f, which is the closest the nearest from here,
8:11 pm
not only exercise is happening at this air field, but there are training grounds around this whole area. this whole stretch in the southern part of bella, luce and of course for bella, was for russia. i have to say it's quite easy to use this country right now. because alex, i'll look a shot guys looked to, well, let me put in for help since he became a very isolated and battled leader. so russia is using these grounds here now to at least show this amount of forest that they're having. but we are speaking to villages also, they can't really feel that there's an imminent threat of war. but of course there's a lot of anxiety, especially here as well. hey, now the world news, canadian police have begun to move in on protesters who are blocking a vital bridge, connecting canada to the u. s. on friday, a judge gave police a power to end the demonstrations against corona virus. pandemic restrictions, 5 days of disruption on the ambassador rates as for some auto factories across the
