thanks, music, so much money, money to the outside world and tending his families, lands the most positive thing that called it's brought to my mind. you actually start from doing this hector, mahogany, music man, my son, bob boyd. oh, now jesse iraq, ah, we are not afraid of anything or anyone. we all, nothing to anyone. ukraine on his western allies, round on russia, the un nafta, president vladimir putin orders troops into easton break away regions. ah. allow on money and fight. this is out there alive from di hall with continuing coverage of the ukraine crisis. rejecting accusations that it's edging closer to

war. russia says it's launching a peacekeeping mission. we remain open to diplomacy to diplomatic solution. however, allowing a bloodbath, and don boss is something we do not intend to do. meanwhile, columns of russian, ahmed vehicles, as seen on the move in ukraine's disputed regions just hours after putin recognizes them as independent ah, the you, as soon as europe ian allies are preparing to impose new sanctions on russia, off to president vladimir putin recognized to dispute should regions as being independent of ukraine. pearson also ordered troops into the hands and donetta for what he describes as a peacekeeping operation. or criminal linked news outlets say russian troops are

already in the dumbass region where separatists happened fighting against ukrainian forces since 2014. the move has led to tense exchanges at the un security council. shebra tansy begins our coverage. the president, as security council president rusher, proposed a closed door emergency meeting on monday night. but the u. s. insisted on a public session having earlier stated that could be no fence sitters and the ukraine crisis. and speaker of the speaker expressed varying degrees of disquieting or outright condemnation of russia's recognition of the independence of donuts and the husk. the u. s. at the united nations itself was at stake. president potent is testing our international system. he is testing our resolve and seeing just how far he can push us all he wants to demonstrate that through force. he can make a farce of the un through the ukrainian ambassador also. you. this was not just about his country. the united nations is sick. that's a matter of fact,

it's been here by the virus spread by the kremlin will lead to come to these virus. it is in the hands of the membership. thank you, mr. president. criticism of russia was not limited to the west african nations express particular concern at the breach of the territorial integrity of ukraine. multilateralism lies on its death bed to night. it husband assaulted to day as it, as it has been by other powerful states in the recent past. but russia said it was precisely the failure of multilateralism that had led moscow to make its decision. specifically, the refusal of kiev, backed by washington to implement the cease fire agreement meant to permanently end hostilities in eastern ukraine and give the region autonomy the minister agreements

keep new post or she listed here not only very quickly returned to militant rhetoric and continued shelling civilians but also did everything to sabotage and eventually destroy minsk agreements. keep the meeting what now for the minutes. the agreement is still the only existing framework for peace in the us appeared, unequivocal. today, president pudding has torn the mask agreement to shreds. russia disagrees. you see just movies are still movie calling you. today we can see that many colleagues want to sign up to the idea that the minsk agreements are dead. but that's not the case. and kiev is still bound to implement them. we remain open to diplomacy for diplomatic solution, but permeating the discussion was the question, is this, it has not been putin but a math thing. his forces of the ukrainian board is not just to force the west into a dialogue about moscow's strategic concerns. but also finally to reach

a settlement in eastern ukraine, or does the russian president, how far wider ambitions she ever townsley al jazeera, the united nations or columns of russian military vehicles have been seen in one of the breakaway regions, just hours after russia recognized them as independent witnesses say they were heading towards the city of don't yet or some people and donates, fill the streets to celebrate president putin's announcement waving russian flags and sessing of fi whigs, separate as late as they say. they're now a step closer to the russian federation, where shortly will be live with dorsey jabari. he was in moscow, andrew symonds, ease in key f to tell us what ukraine's a president is saying. first, let's go to child stratford, who's in the don't yet, st. region, charles,

i just want to mention to you a, a quick flash that we just seeing coming through on the wise se i just just just talk us through the, the, the mood on the ground where you will well, i think that sir, i see flash that you might be referring to is in connection to what they're saying is m. shelling along the contact lines. certainly here, down in the southeast in the southern side of the contact line. we have heard shelling in the last few minutes, 3 or 4 explosions. her and the distance some small arms fire as well. we are about 5 kilometers from the frontline, basically straight down the road behind me. this is one of the villages closest to the contact zone. we've been speaking to people in the village here. they said indeed there was sporadic shelling overnight. interestingly, we spoke to one woman when we asked her what her reaction was to russia, recognizing the breakaway republics. she said she'd basically didn't care. she said

all she cared about was no more fighting. she doesn't want to see another escalation. this woman had lost 2 of her grandchildren fighting in 2014. she still, she suffers from the injuries that she and she got in a, in an attack in 2014. also very interestingly, we've been speaking to people across the contact zone across the contact line in don't ask and very worryingly as well, according to one of our contacts, he describes seeing weapons on the border with russia going in to her into the self declared republics. and he described these russian weapons as being on a scale that he had never seen before. he described tanks, he described grad missile systems. and we know that there was celebrations, brief celebrations, apparently in don. it's last night with the people that we've spoken to said very few people turned up to that. and the big fear now is what is being described of

we've been describing for days, ukraine and it's west and back as describe as false flag operations. and these are operations that are false, if that could i'm afraid we've lost connection or 2, charles stratford, they're all the apologize for that. let's move on because we can get reaction from kev. ukraine's president has said that as far as he an international law are concerned, the boarders are unchained addressing the nation. laudermill zalinski says people shouldn't be afraid. that of the myers on the bridge in glow. hope there are absolutely no reasons for chaotic actions. we'll do everything to keep it that way

. we stick with the peaceful and diplomatic way. we'll only walk this way. we are on our land, and we are not afraid of anything or any one. we don't owe anything to any one. we won't give away anything to any one. we are confident in this. as casey and his simmons, his life rest in kiev, and a very strong words back from the presidency. lensky. i wonder though, how confident he is under the surface. well you'd heard him say stick with the peaceful and diplomatic way the questions most ukrainians are asking now is how long can that be the case with the actions from moscow with the troop movements, with the celebrations in the, to break away republics, the russian flag being waived with a whole series of measures being taken in jeanette skirt the most recent a suggestion? not just a suggestion. in fact, a document signed document says that saying that there will be compulsory call ups

for all young men aged. over 17 years of age. there is really an atmosphere throughout ukraine now of anger and fear. if you look at the internet, the social media all over, there are those reactions from young people. older people, a questioning what the future is for them. and zelinski is inwardly angry. angry about the situation that allows vladimir putin, that to sit in what they ascribe here as an imperial palace. it seems in the kremlin and talk about the history for more than an hour and then make this decrease. the issue is that sense key says that the troops on a so called peacekeeping mission are effectively have a legalized status. the russians have a legalized status now on the territory of ukraine, and that cannot be

a cannot be tolerated. he talks also of the you had a lot in this program about the minced agreement. well that was a, a failed piece agreement. but it did have some relevance here in that there was some sort of code of conduct for. busy use of force on the contact line. well that's all torn up as you've heard. and the sort of weaponry being used that by the, the rich, the actually, the brushing back separatists is heavy armory is heavy artillery. you heard charles mentioning incoming shells while they're from long range artillery. 122000000 millimeters shells, which are devastating with their effects. and we're going to see a lot more of it. the question now is, will russian armory move over and join in? there is a document in existence, a joint document now signed both by the russian federation and the don, yet sql. and we're looking at finance care or agreeing to joint military operations,

joint military defense of the border, a whole sequence of, of civil agreements. and also this, this issue of sharing the, that military bases and all military infrastructure, it doesn't bite well really, for the coming hours or days indeed. and i wonder what the people on the streets of ukraine make these latest developments. what exactly are they fain? or despite all the expectation of this coming to a head, there is really quite some shock. you can read the temperature more from social media that you can from talking people on the ground. but there is really a real concern. there is also a growing doubts about this reliance on diplomacy. we've had talking in new york with united nations, you've had talking in brussels, a talking here talking in moscow about the only result has been

a declaration by the russians of that said the to breakaway republic, some of the, the 8 year war that said that cause that was caused by the, the revolution here, 2014 might and square. all of this, all of this talking has resulted in action. and the action has been the intervention of russia on ukrainian soil, which at which it threatens further moves. now, is this the question here? is now not just amongst the diplomats and the politicians, but also the people. is this a tactic by vladimir putin to take it this far to actually really show that he's get prepared to use force to take it this far as a major lever, a possible future talks are possible is still in the air. this chink of light, that the could be a summit between the united states and russia, between the 2 heads of state. could that happen?

could there be a situation where putin thinks he's gone far enough on this is the ultimate leave of the get what he wants, which is an assurance that this country ukraine will not join nato along with a whole raft of other things. could that be some sort of deal of the last minutes or. busy is he intent on moving forward with a full scale war? he has the resources to do now. all the plans, the, all the military are in place now we're hearing from sources in the u. s. the u. k . many, many other major powers as well. all saying that the all putin has to do now is press the button, even aircraft, a fueled up in the whole raft of, of places that he can press that button. so he has the ultimate weapon at his hands to get what he wants. now obviously there's going to be a fit reaction to that, but the point is this only putin knows what's going to happen next. nobody can read his mind as you've seen from his performance in the kremlin. some many

describe it as some sort of imperial, a type of affair, a where he went through the history of them at the last minute declare that he was awarding independence to, to break away states. so really, no one knows. it is a cliche, but no one knows what's going to happen next. but what we're sure of is that it could be events on the ground that dictate what happened to this country. and indeed, what hamster, the security of europe was a whole. thank you for that. andrew simmons there for us in the ukrainian capital here have all eyes on present in payton's next news. i want to show you some live pictures of russia's parliament, the duma. what you can see there is the need, as i expected to sign off on the president putin's declaration recognizing those disputed regions of lou hands. antonietta as independent republic. so things moving forward. let's go to dorset jabari,

who is in moscow for us. those are what is the events at the last 24 hours? what does it mean now for the diplomatic path that we've been focusing on at the last couple of days and the future of the cycle mince agreement? i think it's become very clear, even though we've been hearing from various russian officials saying that they're still very much interested in a continuing on that to put diplomatic pass that that path is now become much more difficult to continue. i want to talk about what is happening in the state legislature, the duma that we just saw. pictures of this is a session where the parliamentarians are, we'll decide about whether or not to recognize certain areas as in don't boss region as part of the separatists health regions that have been declared as independence by vladimir putin. i think this is an important point because if we

see on a map very clearly at their regions of le ganske and don yeske within dumbass are not all completely held by this separatists are leaders. they are holding about 30 percent of that area. it's not like they have the entire region under their control . so at the rest of that belongs to ukraine, it's sovereign ukrainian land. what will be interesting to see is whether or not these politicians in moscow will recognize the area. i think this is where the geography is very important because if they decide to recognize the entire dumbass region as part of this newly declared independence states, then technically they will be saying to the ukrainians, you have to leave this area. this is no longer your land and that is a very much understood to be a declaration of war by many analysts here. i think we also have to look at that minsk agreement. it was a 13 point agreement that was signed in 2015 to try and avoid exactly what has

happened now. but for their part, the russians have said that they are still willing to continue dialogue. but it's now very clear after this agreement that the russian president signed with the separatist leaders. and there is a possibility that russia could down the line if it chose to open up military basis in logan's and done yet as well as provide military aid. if it was requested, and as we've seen, the so called russian peacekeepers have now entered that area. what that will do 2 facts on the ground, the reality on the ground will have to wait and see. but i think the climate now is rapidly changing from one where diplomacy was very much, still an option to one where it's very, very difficult to see it working at this stage. and also what to people in russia, the people on the street, how have they responded to the president's words overnight? what are they saying? well, the people i spoke to over the past few hours. i think i've were very much initially

surprised because it was an unprecedented event to see at the security council session chaired by vladimir, put in to be broadcast on stay television and a for here from a very high ranking officials that russians have never heard from in public before so that was the 1st thing reaction and then the speech that put it in put him delivered to their public in the evening. i think my lot of people were very much interested. i saw many people in my hotel lobby watching, put an on their phone at seeing what he has to say. the general sense is, although there was some shock at 1st, i think it's been accepted that he very much has made the right decision. and, and many analysts have spoken to say his popularity could actually increase as a result of this. and we also have, remember over now, 80000 evacuees from ukraine that have crossed the border into russia. they were told to leave their homes very suddenly on friday after,

on evacuation notice was issued by the separatist leaders in those regents. so there is the humanitarian issue as well. that is ongoing. a number of provinces in russia have taken these evacuation where they've also declared state of emergency whether or not these people can ever go back home is very unclear at the moment. also, they have left behind that men in their lives, the husbands brothers, and have all been asked to stay behind in ukraine to take up arms if needed, to fight in those areas. that's one part of what we've been hearing. of course, there's also the financial aspect of all this. the russian markets have been very volatile over the past 12 hours. they opened this morning to an all time low and nearly in over a year. and the rubel has weakened as well. it's lost nearly 17 percent of its value over the past at 12 hours. so at the financial cost of this will also be much more clear in the coming hours as well. many thanks for that dosa jibari there for us in moscow. well, with the cries,

this threatening gas supplies cats has been hosting, leading gas produces in the region. let's have a listen to the minister of energy here in catholic countries who enjoy the largest share of natural gas resources production. and we'll trade in guess e, the increasing face of global energy transition and the advancement of modern technology which unleash great potential of natural gas as a viable fuel to enhance global energy security. eradicate energy poverty and build flexible, resilient, and sustainable energy systems in synergy with other energy sources. f, the crucial importance of continued investment in and development of the natural gas resources and related infrastructure to ensure energy security and resilience in energy systems. g. then i get the impact of extreme market volatility on natural gas demand, and it's affordability,

yes from a pretty okay. if you're just joining us, we've been listening to cast ours minister for energy. who's been speaking here in qatar, which has been hosting a 3 day conference as a gas expos export is hosted by catherine. let sir speak to our correspondent among con, who's at the conference to what extent has the crisis in ukraine dominated discussions at that conference? because of course, if a war does break out in ukraine, it could threaten crucial gas supplies to europe and other parts of the world. is that a topic that i was discussed at the conference? no, if you are just listening to the public statements or ukraine hasn't been mentioned asshole. however, a backstage behind closed doors. ukraine has been the biggest of what we've been told that by several different sources. now, here at the gas exporters or some,

it is very much been about what if, how do we get a gas into europe if there are sanctions against russia, or if russia actually stopped supplying europe. now russia is a huge supplier to europe, 50 percent of the domestic needs of germany, for example, are supplied by russia. that's going to increase when the node stream to pipeline comes into effect is what russia is very much involved in europe's gas market. so there is a lot of technical tool or what we're being told a by ministry of foreign affairs sources here. and cattle. is that a cattle is encouraging western european nations to look to their asian allies to be able to supply them with gas if something like that happens. so worry also hearing that that's what the idea about the his.
