ordered, so called peacekeepers into the region, ah, un security council has held an emergency meeting on the deepening ukraine crisis, called just hours after russian president vladimir putin recognized to break away regions and eastern ukraine. and ordered his troops to be deployed bad described by the kremlin, as peacekeepers, while the european union and the united states denounced the move as illegal and haven't out sanctions targeting the rebel regions of de nets. and hence, washington's ambassador to the you and dismissed the russian leaders claim. but his forces would have a peacekeeping role. he caused them peacekeepers. this is nonsense. we know what they really are. in doing so he is put before the world, a choice. we must meet the moment and we must not look away. history tells us that

looking the other way in the face of such hostility will be a far more costly path than rushes. un ambassador blamed kim for escalation intentions. he accused ukraine's government of sabotaging the ceasefire deal with russian back separatists in the east of the country. were property worth group, the diploma you will remain open to diplomacy to a diplomatic solution growing. however, when allowing a blood bath and don bath is something we do not intend to do. unfortunately, we are forced to note the extremely negative role played in all of this by our western colleagues. lead by the us. that was the was instead of forcing kia to implement its obligations, or they have instead been openly egging ukraine on liberty was and ukraine and president vladimir zalinski has accused russia of wrecking peace talks and rule that making any territorial concessions in an address to the nation. on tuesday, when, as we simply, we are on our own land,

we are not afraid of any thing or any one sure we owe nothing to no one. and we will not give anything to anyone till we are sure of that. because now is not february 2014 by february 2022 and other countries. another army, one goal, this piece. what's the piece? a new crane shook. well shabba town sees live for us at the united nations shall have. so a lot to unpack from this emergency security council session, just talk through, i played out we are, it's interesting that when this meeting was put on the books this evening, russia initially said this is gonna be a private meeting, which meant that all 15 members, the security council pos ukraine on germany would be able to talk and engage in the issues maps, hash hash things out candidly but, but it was the us that insisted that this be a public, a public session of the security council answer. as a result, what we got was what we often get these,

these cathartic so speeches for those who are outraged about the issue that is being discussed. and i think the ukrainians, as we just saw a few moments ago, a rather please. but what they heard, because across the board, there was concern about the russian recognition of the daughter of don buses, independence, a, to varying degrees and of and with varying choices of language. and whether they would even mention russia or not by name, sense of ukraine's very, very happy with that. the u. s. as can be expected, see of scathing and it's, and it's assessment of a russian actions to force the russians made foss of the, of, of the u. n. it attached to the international system and, and so on. was the russians, as you say, saying look, it's actually because you haven't respected international system. and in this case, it's this piece agreement called the minsk agreement from 2015, which stopped, which is why they acted as a, as a vehicle for

a cease fire in the don't bast region. and, and the civil war is because the u. s. and kia, haven't respect to the intellectual system that we felt we had to make our move so that that's where the parameters are. and i think moving forward as cathartic as this may have been for various actors. and what the word that kept coming out beyond the usual de escalation restraint, diplomacy was minced. the key is not what happens to this agreement, because at the moment that still remains the only real framework we have for, for, for agreement. does this change anything, rushes as low, many in the west say yes. and, and course the us in the speech said, mince has been torn to shreds. so that's very concerning anyone i think now, own one has to wonder what, what's the am? the framework is for piece ahead whether some of this is more rhetorical, where, because the, you are certainly still says there's room for diplomacy. and if the play was isn't based around minsk, which means a structure to get more autonomy for those,

those 2 regions in the, in the dawn bass while still remaining part of ukraine. if that isn't the main road by which the un security council house i'd often than what is yeah. all right, chapter lets us wrap things up then. i mean, what happens next? i mean, we'll put in press the pause button. we here talk of sanctions as you say, the jury still out on whether the minsk agreements are dead. what, what, what further diplomatic role can the you in plain try to deescalate this crisis? i mean, you're watching all of their statements early on tonight. we keep hearing diplomacy is still open and that's what the russians say, that's what the u. s says, and it's just a matter what form that takes. we know that as this well least right now i've looked my twitter in the last few minutes, but we, we know we assume that the meeting in geneva between anthony blinking and said hello rob is still is still taking place. you can probably tell me if it isn't. i said that's one vehicle that was rember originally over the weekend. there was some hope that emanuel macro had had formulated in principle a, the possibility of a summit between joe biden and vladimir putin to hash out all sorts of european

security architectural problems that we had between russia and the western or something. russia's been asking for, for a very long time was, was all this obviously is, is in jeopardy now, but i think that's what i was looking at now is it is, is the diplomatic track as pap symbolized by that, by that meeting, but on thursday. but also back question as to all right, rushes down, this is this one, it was all about them. is this the media having perhaps, you know, already got assurances from the u. s. that many of their other security concerns will be discussed like in intermediate missiles in europe, will transparency about miss about military drills that the missile defense, according to the u. s. systems in poland and romania, yet as a minute longer movement on some of these issues, which are cool, who are russian concerns? i know to mention the fact that nato made it pretty clear that they would never invoke article 5 to defend ukraine. which means de facto would never become a member of a great article 5, meaning if there was an attack on ukraine or the nato members would,

would have to come to its defense. so was this, the last thing on his list was minsk was trying to get trying to get some sort of set them up here or as not in a boot and speech suggested. or they're really, really long held grievances which may not be satisfied simply by a resolution of the situation and ukraine or i to she advertising live that for us there in new york to happen. thank you. well columns of military vehicles have been seen in one of the 2 breakaway regions of eastern ukraine, just hours after russia recognized them as independent. president putin signed a decree alongside rebel leaders from the self proclaimed don, yet, scandal hunts people's republics. under simmons has mourner from the cranes capital give. vladimir putin move is a major escalation in this crisis collegiate 1st. he staged a televised meeting of russia's national security council, where he made a show of considering appeals from his top aides, on whether to recognize the 2 russian backed breakaway states in ukraine as

independent me hours later, he made a televised address of miss shirley. this packages caveat, and look at the weapons of nato. it would be possible for them to control russia's air space with medium and long range, missiles and ballistic weapons. they could attack sites throughout russia in less than 30 minutes. i do not doubt they plan to attack as they have in the past. ah, the self declared republics have done yet. scammer hands are in a state of high alert after their leaders advised their people to evacuate and told them, ukraine is mounting an offensive. that's a claim ukraine denies, but there's now a real risk that russia's forces could roll into what ukraine describes as temporarily occupied territory. that's because with formal recognition of independence, russia could present itself as answering

a request for help. putin could also use the threats of such action as a lever, if the tenuous diplomatic process still exists. the moves came shortly after russian media ran video of what purported to be a ukrainian military incursion into its territory. the reports claim that 5 ukrainian soldiers were killed in care of the government dismissed the report as fake news, united states of america and other partners. and of course ukraine were for quite spell on we're enough time we're saying that's to provoke the conflict. they're forced like operations will be we will be organized by russia federation. and these, this is exactly the example of such a false flag operation. the minister says the car bomb reported in done yet last week said to be a ukrainian attack. it was also fake news. ukraine's foreign ministry says it's

dealing with dozens of fake incidents and false flag operations. it says they're all intended to build up as excuses for potential war. and one of the by products is fear instilled into the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the break away republics. people living in don't yet say the situation is intolerable. with intense shelling and low help. how could i schedule your product? where should we go? we will all leave. but is there anyone waiting for us there? where should i go? we will receive me maybe for a day or 2, but what about after that? and when i come back, there will be nothing ruins have i lived my life on nothing. whatever that must michael mean, you're somebody to stop the war. tell zalinski and put into store, pull this, i just can't live like this. everyone here will tell you the same thing. he should reach an agreement, including america. every one who is responsible,

we are suffering. we are simple people. they can just drive off with their millions and we have to remain here. children have to hide and baseman said yes, yes. so my neighbor with a 2 month old ash was running to the basement. it shouldn't be like this. gonna be with the suffering may become so much worse for these people and millions of others . what was decided in the kremlin on monday could be one more step closer to war. andrew simmons al jazeera, give hon hamid is in constant enough care internet's region of eastern ukraine. she says there's real fear among people there that things could escalate quickly. both sides are denying that they're shooting at each other, but it is happening. so this can only spiral further out of control and that could happen very, very quickly. you could have now do the and. busy do people in the, in the self profane republic,

the russian back separate is feeling in bolden by day words coming out of moscow by the moves coming out of moscow. maybe feeling a bit stronger or they could be told also to hold back. i mean, it's all really up in the air and that, you know, about 10 days ago i was in those areas traveling along that contact line and whoever i spoke to at the time, including soldiers in the trenches brushed away the idea that they would be a military escalation that they would be a full scale invasion of the minister of defense was on a daily basis. as saying that dude, the number of troops gathered on the russian side of the border were not enough for foreign invasion. president zalinski was calling upon ukrainians to come down. he had harsh words for the rhetoric coming out of suited western capitals. and he did tell ukrainians to not listen to these applica, elliptic scenarios that were being depicted well now fast forward to 10 days,

2 weeks forward, a things that seem to have changed completely. everything is up in the air and people. now i wondering if all of that would happen. so break here now to 0. when we come back on his 1st official visit to cut our iran's president says, talked to revive the nuclear deal will not succeed unless the us bruises will by lifting sanctions class. so let us learn to live with his boris. but it's not minister by st. john's now. is the end of all cove in 19 related restrictions any more than states? ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle airways hollow. we've got brighter skies coming into northern parts of the middle east over the next couple of days. little area cloud here, sliding across iraq into iran,

pushing into afghanistan where it will bring some snow fall chassis, some rain as snow to just around the turkish mountains. northern parts of syria could catch a shower or 2 over the next few days, but for many, it is got to be fine, dry and settled back down at $24.00 celsius though. ha, also at $24.00 degrees. we have got a shamal wind blame at keen a north wesley wind will continue as we go on into our wedding, stay by wednesday. possible as here, some wet weather coming into that eastern side of the mediterranean for much of the event. and the middle east. finally, dry, pretty much sums it up. not so far and dry in 2 central parts of africa, of course, right across the tropic, tropical belt, we are looking at the usual seasonal range, just rolling through. i suspect the heavier showers are going to be in to where southern parts of tanza, near northern areas of madagascar. we'll see some very heavy rain wet weather pushing it in more than parts of mozambique. but the southern parts of madagascar as where we have our tropical cycling,

just bring you some very heavy rain here. that's gotta sink its way further southwards, over the next couple of days with the likelihood of widespread flooding and wind damage. oh, with sponsored by casara, always chilling the debate, they erased out of black people from the american and global story was very powerful on an online your voice. the comment section is whitehead joining our conversation. we had all protected when everyone is protected. it is not by being matched on the sticker board dos. you just look at it in a very different way. so that perspective meg and meg meeting each other and they don't have any solution. let me get it clear for you. this screen on al jazeera lou

lou, welcome back to grandma about top stories here. this are the un security council is held, an emergency meeting on the deepening ukraine crisis. it's called ours off to russia recognize to brain regions in east, in the ukraine, on order to what it co pays people to be deployed, that president vladimir putin signed the decree alongside rebel leaders from the self proclaimed don. yet from the house people's republics. the european union, i'm the united states denounced the move as illegal and have announced sanctions against the regions. meanwhile, columns of military vehicles have been seen in done that's one of the 2 separatist regions that were spotted just hours after russia recognize the regions as independent. well, between 85890000 russian soldiers, a thought to be deployed around ukraine. the european council on foreign relations believes there are 10250001 the russia ukraine border. but ukraine's estimate.

they're also about 35000 russian back separate despite as in done yet and no hands in russian. the next crimea is thought era, further 32000 soldiers and 30000 in bella, roost plus a 1000 in moldova rules, at least 13 russian battleships have been conducting life. i exercises in the black and as of seas, which i'll strap it is on the road with a ukrainian army patrol close to the russian border. he sent us exclusive report destroyed homes in a deserted village, close to the front line with families that used to live here left when this will started almost 8 years ago. and the, the broken belongings remained. russian bank separatist positions of just over the horizon and crane an army soldiers tell us their shelter has been repeatedly targeted in recent days or craters gouged out by separatist artillery shells. just

a few meters away. 27 year old burn has been at this dug out for 3 months. the ukrainian soldier says separatists using higher cannibal weapons than before. with a new living ama with itself, there were they are targeting infantry in the dugouts. i stood at the entrance and had 1st incoming 10 meters away from me. they shelled along the road. we walk along, perhaps tried to hit our communication lines. the shelling is much more frequent and concentrated recently. soldiers take us along a trench to their observation. postal sto at a booster, put his opportunity. this used to be a separate his trench says the soldier, there were still anti personnel mines. so be careful where you put your feet if you don't want to lose separatist positions are under 50 meters in that direction. most of the men here we speak to say they have very little hope that a peaceful solution can be stopped to fill. when suddenly the whistle

of an incoming shell, inquiries from my old enemies. you see the bushes there says the soldier possibly will. 23 meters from there is a separatist trench on between us is a minefield and of the bunker is small and cramped. 26 year old kid fish, which roughly translates as chaos started fighting the separatists. the beginning of the conflict 8 years ago. for this number any, i can't understand putin's politics. it's stupid to be a fit of something. when there's no threats. i can't remember when nato has ever been a fit to russia, not since the collapse of the soviet union and ukraine independence more than 30 years ago. but that's not what russia's leader thinks. vladimir putin vision of the future, remains unclear. john strafford al jazeera eastern ukraine was william taylor's

vice president of the us institute of peace and a former us ambassador to ukraine. he says the russian leader is facing stronger international resistance than he was expecting prison. burton has painted himself into a corner. he knows that nato is united. he knows that the united states in ukraine are united. he sees a very tough, present, zaleski, and president biden. so president putin, i'm sure, is surprised at how strong and our resolute and how firm present soleski and president biden are in the face of 85017200000 russian troops. and now some troops coming into ukraine. this is a, this is a strong alliance. it is got strong economic sanctions. it's got strong export bands. it's got strong support for ukraine's military. this if, if the russians move further into ukraine. if they invade further,

either from dumbass or toward the capital cave, they will face a determined, fierce fight on their hands. many russian soldiers will die, many ukrainians will die. but this will be, this is, this is president putin putting himself into a corner. some of the news down iran's foreign ministry says, significant progress has been made of talks to revive a 2015 iran nuclear deal. tara one sanctions relief and exchange the limits on its nuclear program. negotiations between european and uranium delegation was up and held in again since april with the u. s. indirectly involved under on, on capital have announced new corporation in several areas. president abraham racy has signed agreements with capitalism. me a shift to me, banana bonnie. here in doha, during his 1st official visit to a gold state, some of the child has more. oh, it was the 1st visit's by an iranian president cutter. in a decade,
