the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because that's the only way we can try to solve any of these problems is together. that's well to 0. so important. we make those connections. ah, this is al jazeera ah $1000.00 g m t here on al jazeera and come all santa maria. welcome to the news i ah, rallying his troops while insisting diplomacy can resolve the ukraine prices. vladimir putin reacts to a slew of sanctions from the u. s and its allies also will take in either front lines of the conflict in easton ukraine where the threat of invasion is starting

more fear and resentments also in the news desperate for food. people in sedans, da, for region resorting to looting, to overcome by hunger. and the celebrations in columbia after a landmark ruling makes abortions legal, and i'm sorry, how much was sport as wife elena doll makes a winning return to action in mexico. but world number 3 alexander's verb is kicked out of the torment, attacking the empire, and a double mat. ah, so seeking a diplomatic solution, apparently, but still bolstering his military might that as the russian president vladimir persian, he says he is pursuing both options. just hours after western countries hit russia with sanctions over his recognition of the breakaway regions in east and ukraine.

no, sir, i'm not sick. the other. our country stays open for direct and honest dialogue for the search of diplomatic solutions for the most complex issues. but i repeat russia's interests and our citizens safety are absolute limits. we will continue strengthening and developing our army and navy, increasing their efficiency, providing them with the most advanced equipment. well, with the threat from russia, edging of a closer ukraine's president started cooling up reservists that is from aged 18 to 60. but where the russian troops have already crossed the border into ukraine and its disputed regions that is actually still unclear. the u. k. for examples is a full scale invasion, and an attack on key of itself is highly likely. right? we have got full correspondence for you. this our, to keep across the story here, they are not in bother in london. we've got under simmons at who's on the border near bel, responded smith in moscow starting though with hot uh,

bill. uh huh. and she is reporting of from commodore's in the northern done yet. so region of east in ukraine, the threats of an invasion hood or what's it during the people there. but certainly people are now taking that very seriously ever since that speech of russian president vladimir putin and end of the recognition of the 2 self claim. republics of the nets and lou hands. now, people here like even where i'm standing parameters, do worry as simply because back in 2014, the separate as to had arrived here had taken up that occupied this city. and there was a lot of fighting going on. this is, this happened here and it happened in near by his love years, which was basically the, at the center of the separate is back then people are worried is bringing back bad memories. they say that according to the constitution of these 2 said,

for k republics, the div, their borders should be what they call the historical border. and that means the entire regions of new hands and, and yet, so basically to 3rd more than what they hold at the moment. and people here do believe that that will happen sooner rather than later. now, opinions are divided. some people do back the ukrainian army and say that this is a stronger army, a de moment is not the one back in 2014, that couldn't put up a fight is now well equipped and well trained. there's also all these territorial defense units that have been formed and trained. they're supposed to be deployed to cities to protect the infrastructure. and as we're hearing it now this morning, the but the rather the ukrainian parliament passed that bill. the 1st reading rather of a bill that would allow civilians to carry fire arms. so people are putting all

of that together and most people will tell you that trouble is coming their way, at least in this read sooner rather than later than the other side. you also have people who are waiting for the separatist to show up would do still support russia and who put the blame of all. what's happening on the government in give uncertainty is hanging over at the fca, one of the frontline towns in eastern ukraine when he met chaplin no lena, 3 weeks ago, she brushed away the prospect of war. now she's worried and feels uncomfortable being on the streets. some of her neighbors are openly hostile to her for reference to my grandmother from mike me. yeah. yeah. the mon you oh, yes, butchering you have though annual brain. they think ukraine is guilty party when it comes to this shelling they don't believe russia could act like this. my life is at

risk in this kind of society. anything can happen, especially now. listen, the kilometer away at the front line. soldiers on alert. recently the shelling has intensified evidence still fresh of the latest rocket attack. the frontline here has in, moved, ever since the minced agreement was signed with leader sides making tutorial gains or losses. but now the recognition by russia of the 2 sins proclaim republics of don. yes and logan's puts into question, where do new lines are going to be drawn? the agreement set a full 120 kilometers demarcation line, giving the russian back separatist only a 3rd of what they see as their historical land. now, with official support from moscow, they could try again to expand their control. i seen that. i think it will be

border old for the mask in the constitution as they are, was at the bust. not on with this era that already have. but further, and i think that is the reason of most dangerous station here. basically, we understand that there we are, are on the way of them do ukrainian army is in a difficult situation. many civilians in this area don't support it. they welcomed to separate his back in 2014 and continued to support russia. now others, like victor, blamed a current situation under government in give us one. what are they fighting for who they fighting for here, i don't see any sense on that. if it's for me or my family, there's no nate, what are they doing here? if you're shelling the separatists all the time, rush, a coddling them on mariah with if our president had negotiated with them, then things could have been different with the men scott agreement. now in tatters,

ukraine has declared at vive can other towns and villages along the frontline, restricted areas. but for the soldiers, the most difficult battle could be winning over the support of the people. well adding to that sense of insecurity among people is the government's saying that it could soon impose a state of emergency in both the regions of done yet. and logan's and back in care . president zelinski is meeting with his national security team at the moment. we should hear from that in a couple of hours, but we did hear this morning from the foreign minister dmitri clay bye. he did welcome the range of sanctions that have been imposed on russia. there's been a lot of frustration over the past few weeks and those sanctions weren't coming soon enough. but in the words of the foreign minister, the you is asking for more sanctions. in his words, he said, hit them hard,

hit now and hit more. so certainly ukraine feeling international support while at home trying to put the gear up to what could be a very devastating war. could abdul hamid beginning this news hour for us from east and ukraine? thank you harder now to andrew simmons, who as at some kids, can this is i, i believe andrew sort of the, the tri state area where russia, bella roost in ukraine old converge so. busy they building of them. that is right. it's a 3 way border effectively. they have belarus in this direction on russia in that direction. and there is of the moment i'm just finishing now. i am a, an inspection by the o. s. c e. that's the organization for security and cooperation in europe. they're inspecting the vehicle checkpoint here and also parts of the border which they're

working on right now. i can't go into details, but there is work going on on this border. it is a colossal job to try to reinforce it because it's a 1000 kilometers long. and of course in barry's right now, we have exercises going on, an extended exercises of a whole host of weaponry, including asked $400.00 or multiple rockets launch that multiple rocket launchers, s $400.00 antiaircraft, missiles tanks, hundreds of aircraft, and 30000 troops. you wouldn't really believe that the extent of that, that force that's probably about something like 4050 kilometers beyond air. you can't hear anything above the talk of it and having spoken to the border guards here who are well equipped, well armed are talking quite a gung ho in effect. but really, what's beyond this border is pretty colossal in the way, in its absence,

in terms of its firepower shore is andrew. i mentioned this briefly at the start of the news. our, the issue of reservists been called acne. tell us more. yes indeed sir. president savanski in his address ah said that he was calling up all reserve is of the age of 18. o and up to 60 years of age. but many people i've spoken to the, the border guards here, another military, and probably they are. they are a little surprised that there isn't a full mobilization going on and they're also a little bit surprised that that there is so much talk of diplomacy when really time has run out. there is a feeling that this is now. that's just really a question of time before that that will combat and not so much here, but of course, narrower, harder was reporting from other se,

the don't boss region about that. the interesting thing about this, or the re lethal thing about this deployment of this, this huge or exercise that's going on with the russian forces is that there is a military option for this force to either cause a distraction with its fire power or indeed to cross from here and take the roots, a hat here, either down to the cut off or my pencil movement in the don bass region. or indeed, that's a split the force here and some of it to actually move on the capital. give really that, that a lot is not, is unknown about this force, but it is lethal. as i said before, with all of that armory and the extension which every one, all security services and forces here had expected that to be an extension on sunday. an indefinite one to this so called exercise. thank q. andrew simmons at that border areas. we say we're 3 countries converge off to moscow. now to talk to

bernard smith and, and bernard andrew reference the fact that people can understand how they can be any room left for diplomacy. and yet, the russian president himself is talking about diplomacy. he is its defender of the fatherland day in russia today. it's a public holiday and vitamin putin was laying a wreath of the tomb of the unknown soldier just outside the kremlin. and other organizations will be doing something similar this afternoon before that leave re laying ceremony. who tim was continuing to tighten the screws on ukraine? he says that the 2 states that he's now recognized of don barson, a donnette skin lou ganske, they recognize them on embassy levels as essentially sending high level diplomats between those 2 states. russia says is also evacuating its embassy staff, its diplomatic staff from ukraine to protect their lives. but he and he's also

praise the battle resident readiness of russian troops. but in this speech to the nation he gave earlier on, he did also say that he was ready for diplomatic solutions on the one hand, tightening the screw, really getting everything ready for foreign invasion. but on the other hand, saying he's still ready to talk. and is there any a confirmation or word or otherwise, a bernard from russia on their actual forces, the movement of their forces order the peacekeepers as, as they have referred to them? although the kremlin blind me put in our official permission, if you like, from russia's upper house of parliament to send troops, what they prefer to peacekeepers in g grainy hasn't officially said that. that is going to happen. he hasn't officially sent groups into ukrainian territory. there are suggestions that there are unofficially, some troops already there and al jazeera, etc. that's in, don't ask,

filmed some military vehicles a couple of nights ago at dar, in the dark. they didn't have russian markings on the, but our team spoke to them. they were russian soldiers, so there are some, there are, there are some, there already. you case, foreign secretary list trust. she said this morning that there is no verified evidence that an invasion has yet taken place. but as we know, everything is in place. should vladimir putin decide to go that far? mass troops all around ukraine, effectively surrounded now much more increased activity, particularly along that eastern border of russia and ukraine, particularly in the last few days of the troops of their, their in place. it just waiting for vladimir putin, whether to, to take that next step. then you bernard smith in moscow. and finally, a quick word with nadine barber in london today. and we were talking sanctions. yes . robert johnson was talking sanctions yesterday. how things progressed while boys

will be talking sanctions again in a few hours, come out in parliament for prime ministers. questions. they're likely to be quite low easily. yesterday, in parliament, he outlined the matches that he was taking immediately and now run to imposing an asset freeze on 5 russian banks. and 3 russian billionaires is what is the trouble by and all those individuals now they were targeted because they need to be specific, particularly close to president vladimir putin and his government. but there were widespread calls from various policies in parliament to do more and dismay from some sides. the sanctions didn't go further. well, the foreign secretary lives trust you, bernard, was talking about has been on the waves in the last couple of i was defending those measures saying, but they're just the 1st step saying that they were drawn up in response to

president putin recognition. all. busy of the self declared people's republics, rather than military maneuvers right now. and it's you were hinting at bars. johnson has already said he believes he said, based on tuesday that what was happening amounted to a renewed invasion. willis trust put it slightly differently. she said, i believe that putin is hell bent on invading ukraine. this is about inflicting pain on putin. the reaction that is so slightly different language much. she says the u. k has more measures in the locker, as she puts it, which it will be putting in place. she made no doubt about that really including military support to ukraine. not in barbara in london, routing as i live coverage just for now on russia and ukraine. thank you. nadine, we're going to rewind a bit further now and earlier on tuesday, the u. s. president joe biden accused of poaching the beginning and invasion of

ukraine as he announced a series of sanctions against moscow. all this, after the russian leader recognised as we've heard the independence of those separatist regions in the east of ukraine. don bass, it is known as our west separatists have been fighting against ukrainian forces ever since 2014. more in this report from alan fisher. for weeks these won the sanctions. no faced with what he sees as russian aggression in ukraine. job bite in his act. it were implementing full blocking sanctions on 2 large russian financial institutions, v b and their military back reprimand, comprehensive sanctions on russia's sovereign debt. that means we've cut off russian government from western finances. law school, post sanctions on russia's leech and their family members. they share in the crop gaze of the criminal policy and to share the pain as well. the president has spent a lot of time with his national security team over the last 48 hours. they insist

they've covered all possible moves for moscow. and the next step by vladimir putin will dictate further us reaction bite and still hopes for a diplomatic solution. but there was a warning to the american public and extended crisis might hit them in the pocket. the funding freedom will have cost for us as well. and here at home, we need to be honest about that. one expert says it makes sense. the biden hasn't thrown everything at russia. they sadly leaving a diplomatic offramp thing. they need to keep, you know, part of their powder dry. to see what his next move is, this, this gross violation the go further violation of ukrainian territorial integrity. there has to be a cost for that. whether the euclidean foreign minister has been in washington part of the international medical round of top level talks. he's been meeting defense, secretary lloyd austin at the pentagon. he says the russians have tried to split

the west with their actions. something that has failed and i've never seen, they know more united. the more resolute sterling firm is one alliance in support of ukraine's right to the friend and sovereign territory. it's 2 years since then. candidate biden tweeted out that vladimir putin would be reluctant to take any aggressive action if he was president. because he's gone, taught to tour with them in the past, he toted his foreign policy experience. he's going to need all that experience. if he's to reach a diplomatic solution to what is a growing military crisis. alan fisher al jazeera at the white house. so with all the talk about sanctions, we need to really talk about how they will work and how they would impact nations other nations. in fact, the, to regular business with russia cooperation to say is with us to do that. an international law life from london today. nice to have you with us, sir. when the banks get hit and the ah, billionaires,

the billionaire businessmen get hit as well. tell me in the most simple terms, what impact does that have on russia and on the kremlin? good morning. thank you very much. i've been listening to your correspondence innocence, sanctions can be used, and their effect can be gauged by the fact that when crimea was annexed in 2014 sanctions were imposed. the objective was to deter russia from further steps aggressive steps against ukraine. and also to punish russia plainly in the light of the events that have taken place over the past 48 hours that have been broadcast over the past weeks. and the characterization of them is a flagrant violation of international law. the sanctions that were imposed here, the 2 have not worked. and the sanctions that have been suggested in the past 24 hours, 48 hours. if the objective is to impact individuals and entities in the trade and

finance sector that have an economic impact to strategic impact for russian federation, there are many skeptics you would say that they're, they're not enough. as the foreign minister of ukraine said, they have to be harder, they have to be more extensive. so this is just the, just the way it plays out. you start with these sorts of sanctions targeting these sorts of people and institutions. and as alan was referring to his in his report, always keep something in reserve. the thing is, that eats up valuable time, doesn't it? this is, you know, if it's going to be the sort of drawn out process a walk and start in the meantime. quite frankly, that's absolutely right a, that's a very difficult balancing act because let's not forget, most sanctions, international sanctions are generally adopted through the recognition framework. the un security council or washer the permanent american feature that so it's left to the u. s. e, u and u. k. and in this context, of course,

the you are is 30 to 40 percent of its gas comes from russia, the united kingdom, hundreds of billions of pounds of russian money are invested in our system. that the sanctions might be more effective if, for example, the access to the swift payment system was blocked for russian financial institutions. if the ability of russia to traded sovereign debt was locked, not just by the u. s, but by ear institutions as well. so for those countries that as you started to point out there have economic relations with russia. if they rely on them for energy or, or other such things. how worried should they bait? and when you point out the amount of russian money that's in the cases, then we start to think, well actually could the u. k be potentially hurting itself? it would therein lies the dilemma. we've heard a lot of talking over the past few weeks,

but it's not been backed up by tough measures. you've got the ukraine for a minister himself saying hit harder hit now, hit more, which would indicate that they've insufficient watson reserve. and is it really being suggested that the european union will stop taking russian gas? of course, the weather's changing were coming into spring. so the gas may not be as needed as, as it might have been 3 or 4 months ago. but 34 to 40 percent of gas for europe comes from russia, the hundreds of billions of pounds that are here in the united kingdom alone. but what's going to be the impact if more severe measures are imposed? in fact, what if they're not? what is the signal? some would say the defense if what's happened is a sovereign states, eastern flank has been effectively annexed, perfect to an exception. you can say that done. that's no husks. declaration of self determination has been approved by the russian parliament. but in essence,

what's happened, what's happened might be described as the fact to an explanation. and if that allowed over a southern states, then what message does it send throughout the world in the international community? just a quick word mr. currently, on the man on the woman man or the woman on the streets in russia. what are they thinking at the moment? this is all happening way above their heads. obviously. now if you are in another country, you start to think, well, you or you start to worry about this, at least when gas prices go up or petrol prices, or any such things. what about a person in russia? how are they going to be hit? the 5 banks that have been targeted are more pissed in size. the 3 ali galks that have been targeted all the gods that are well known and featured on the sanctions radar to some extent at why, how will the or the russian be affected. of course, if, but the ability to of russian financial institutions to use the swift payment system is affected. that means they can't make money. transfers through the conventional

bank can change the channels if the stocks and shares of russian entities where they contribute economically or strategically to russia are suspended. and if their accounts are frozen well, that might be a different match. cocora she to say a pleasure talking to you. it's been a while. i think certainly for your time. thank you. ah. time to settle the rest of the day's news and 200000 children in the del for region of sedan. don't have enough to eat malnutrition on the rides and camps for hundreds of thousands of people displaced by years of fighting as his morgan reports from alpha asher in north da for the looting of world food program warehouses has disrupted the delivery of much needed 8. i shop de la has never had to come to

you're on the news are here at al jazeera. these are our top stories rushes president says he's ready to look for a diplomatic solution in ukraine. vladimir putin was given parliamentary approval on tuesday to support credit separatists ukraine has started calling up reservists as fee as grow of a full scale russian invasion. but president volney zalinski has stopped short of a general mobilization the u. s. and some of its allies are imposing new sanctions on russia. the move comes off to president, putin recognized the independence of 2 separate as held areas of eastern ukraine. well, this conflict is making the elderly, the most at risk group in areas controlled by russian back rebels in the east of ukraine. this is actually coming from a human rights watch report which says that many elderly in these areas, well, for starters, haven't been receiving the state pensions because of the unrest potentially leaving

them homeless and hungry. the report also surveyed other countries says, some of the most dangerous places for senior citizens, or if you appear, syria, israel, human rights watch says these countries will, these are the countries with the elderly are likely to suffer similar abuses as the younger generations that includes rape abduction and destruction of their homes and property bridget slate. to talk to us about this now she's with human rights watch senior research on the rights of older people with us from london. this is us reading through the report. it's really grim, but we a can't go on notice. i want to go back to that 1st point about the pensions, because that's so important for people who are older and it start. so for mr. a sort of chain reaction for them if they're not getting that money. absolutely. and to people living in east, in ukraine, her face areas in access to my pensions for many years now to be living in very difficult circumstances over the last 8 years. and we knew that

if or still a to escalate to their on the front mine and they were be at great risk and becoming casualties. and i think it, it's, it's a reality of all that. no one is sad. oh, the people are often ignored and invisible victims. and i wonder, and i hope i'm not being, you know, stereotyped cliched here, but that older people would be less or sorry, more reluctant to leave their homes if they're under threats. and there was a, you know, potential of conflict. i mean, they're not going to want to leave the homes, which they probably lived in for a lot of their life. that's certainly true in some cases. and older people just choose to stay and remain with their property. they want to protect the property, they have deep connections to the land. in other cases, they may be unable to flee a violent, they may be unable to run away or have

a limited mobility. and they may have family, they may not have any family members who can support them to flee. for example, in 2017 and me and mom, one women who had fled to me and my security atrocities against ringo in kind state said that she had watched older people being forced back into burning houses by security forces. and she said it was if they wanted everyone to leave and that could not mean they just pushed back and burning houses. so bridget, as, as much as they can, watch, can agencies, humanitarian organizations, any them? what can they do to make sure that this situation for elderly people doesn't you know, it gets not get swept under the rug. that's what i'm trying to say that their needs are met. absolutely. i mean, there is 3 things that need to, 1st of all,

governments and non say tom green need to abide by international law and, and to be set against old. if you both international louis and for an international human rights will protect all civilians including older people from obese and government forces and grants must abide by this international law. the 2nd is that un un human rights count. so the un security council, they need to ensure that the enhanced protection of all the civilians is comprehensively addressed throughout their work. and then thirdly, as he mentioned, she monetary and agencies they need to ensure that older people are included in humanitarian responses. and the date is that funds and also need to make sure that older people are included in humanitarian responses to st. practical, things that need to take place. another facet of this conflict is and i'm glad we could talk to you about
