all about this is going to take time. it's not going to occur is going to say, oh my god, the sanctions are coming. i'm going to stand out. he's going to test the resolve of the west to see if we stay together and we will, we will and will post significant casanya. will he go beyond ukraine, sir? do you see him going? yes. to topic just really quick. first, markets are down and gas prices are up. i know you always threat the difference between wall street and main street, but everybody seems to be in for some economic pain. how economically painful is it going to get for people in this country? and i do have one more question. first of all, there is no doubt that when a major nuclear power attacks an invasion other country that the world is going to respond and markets can respond all over the world. so there's no doubt about that . number one number to the notion that this is going to last for

a long time is highly unlikely as long as we continue to stay resolved in imposing the sanctions. we're going to impose on russia period. what's your next question? i'm sorry. the next question is, did you underestimate potent and would you still describe them the way they did in the summer as they were the adversary? at the time he was, i made it clear as an adversary and i said he was worthy. i didn't underestimate him. and i've read most of everything he's written, did you read? should not wiseguy. the you heard the speech he made almost an hour through speech is why he was going in ukraine. he has much larger ambitions and ukraine. he wants to, in fact, reestablish the former soviet union. that's what this is about. and i think that his, his ambitions are, are completely contrary to the place for the rest of the world has arrived. i

you're confident that these devastating sanctions are going to be as devastating as russ and missiles and bullets and tanks. yes, russian bullets missiles and tanks in ukraine. yes, i am. the invited sanctions cannot stop president. what penalty can i didn't say sanctions couldn't stop him. you've been talking about the threat of these sanctions for several weeks now, but the threat of the sanctions and imposing the sanctions and seeing the effect of the sanctions are 2 different things to different things. and we're now going to, he's going to begin to see the effect of the sanctions. and what will that do? how will that change his mindset here, given he was so weak in his country that he'll have to make a very, very difficult choices of whether to continue to move toward be the 2nd ready power or in fact respond. you said in recent weeks,

the big nation cannot blow when it comes to something like this. you recently said the idea of personally sanctioning president putin was on the table. is that a step that you're prepared to take? and if not to block this on the table, sanctioning president bruton. yes. why not? sanction him today, sir? why not? thank you mister president. if i can, you detailed some severe and swift new sanctions today and said the impact that will have over time. but given the full scale invasion given that you are not pursuing, disconnecting russia from what's called swift international banking system, or other sanctions at your disposal. respectfully, sir. what more are you waiting for specifically with the sanctions we've imposed exceeds swift. the sanction we oppose exceed anything, it's ever been done. the sanction we impose have generated 2 thirds of the world joining us. they are profound sanctions. let's have a conversation in another month or so to see if they're working. yeah. can i ask about the last time you spoke of adam as a lengthy yesterday, sir?

what's the, what's the risks that we are watching the beginning of another cold war? and is there now a complete rupture in us and russian relations? there is a complete rupture, right? now, in us, russian relations and they continue on this path that they're on and in terms of cold war, that depends, you have the vast majority of the rest of the world and total opposition, what he's doing from asia to south america, to europe. so round the world, and so it's going to be a cold day for russia. the idea you don't see a whole lot of people coming to his defense. and are you, are you, if i could follow up? are you urging china to help isolate russia urging china to help isolate russia? i'm not prepared to come in, and at the moment the, me yeah, no, no, no. he's had his hand up

a long time. thank you mister president. how concerned are you that? poon wants to go beyond ukraine into other countries in the us. we'll have to get involved if he moves into nato countries. well, we didn't move nato countries. he will be involved. we will be involved. the only thing that i'm convinced of is if we don't stop now, he'll be emboldened if we don't move against him now with these significant sanctions, he will be emboldened look, you know, every well anyway, and you talk anything more about your conversations. you the, you for the directly. why not? why not directly? so i kid you. so we did a major defense part of the net. the state is india with fully with you on the issue of creating

a share. does the defense department of the united india is one of your major defense partners? is india fully in? think with united space on, on russia, we're going to be we're in consultation with, with india today. we haven't resolved that complete one. okay, thank you very much. the you've been listening to president barton taking questions announcing 1st of all, his reaction to the news that to president putin has ordered invasion of ukraine. a, he said that putin will be a, per i, on the national stage. you said was a dangerous movement moment for europe, and this was described approaches, action as a naked aggression. and he said that the us would be bringing major sanctions or significant sanctions. he described them at let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit. so talk to the scale of the sanctions that are being imposed

these go much further than the ones that were announced to earlier this week and we expected that they would be broader and scale and scope. and now we have an idea of what that looks like in terms of the financial impact. it will essentially isolate russia from the global economy in terms of its finances. this is being done in coordination with european partners. it will limited access to not just dollars, but also to other forms of currency and as well. we know that this is going to in the united states, specifically any assets that russia currently holds in the united states are now frozen. and when it comes to the very powerful and elite and wealthy in russia, they too are being sanction. so those that have profited the u. s. president says as a result of this conflict are going to feel the pain. now there is also at strategic desire with these sanctions and to also limit the ability of the russian

military to operate and develop moving forward. so to that end, the u. s. has announced export controls. we knew that this would likely target, for example, the aerospace sector, the artificial intelligence sector, and the u. s. president. now talking about how essentially this will impair at least half of the high tech imports or rather exports from the united states to the other nations. going to russia crippling it's ability in terms of defense capabilities. so this is very broad in terms of how this is being coordinated between the united states and it's european allies. so that is the 1st major announcement and all of this. but the other big piece of this that you heard is the president very carefully making the argument to americans. that right now? well, there are no boots on the ground of american in ukraine. should this conflict spill

over into neighboring nato countries that would change. in other words, the u. s. president, re affirming the united states commitment to what's known as article 5, that an attack on one nato member state would be an attack on all. and therefore, all would come to that collective defense. so you heard there the u. s. president authorizing an additional deployment of us soldiers who were at the ready had already been activated for a stand by to be going to germany to bolster that presence that already exist there, as well as other nations partnering in the defense of nato. so this is significant, the u. s. president was a bit scarce the some of the details of how there would be a mitigation of some of the pain americans might feel in their pocket books and wallets with respect to rising energy prices. as a result of this conflict, but certainly he did outline the pain that the russian government and many russians

as individuals might feel as a result of the announcement of these broader and very, very steep financial sanctions. and kimberly, in terms of the gravity of the situation, he did say it's a dangerous moment for europe and, and he was asked about whether this was a complete rupture and us russia relations. and he says it can be rupture. and us rush relations if they continue on this path. and historically, i mean, people who bring up the, or the idea of a canoe cold war, historically. where is this in terms of us, russia reactions. well certainly this is, this is the lowest point in, in more than a generation. and that is what has so many americans and people around the world gravely concerned is they've not seen this in many cases in their life time for people that are in their twenties or even thirty's. they simply can't recall a moment like this of tensions quite like this. and in fact, you heard one of the reporters there in the white house speaking to the president,

asking if he would contact vladimir putin. because up until now, there still seem to be that possibility for dialogue and for diplomacy, but it appears for now at least that that window has closed. that door is no longer open. the u. s. president say very clearly, he has no plans at this point to talk to vladimir putin. so that is very discouraging. this is certainly something that we've not seen in recent weeks and recent memory. i and, and many would argue, and this has been the case that has been made here in the united states in the recent hours that this is something in terms of the tensions we've really not seen for, for really good until back until world war 2. in terms of the escalation and the foreign policy crisis that now faces the united states and its partners and allies in europe. gimli. okay. thank you very much indeed. let us bring you up to date to with what's happened. russia as invaded ukraine by air, land, and sea,

launching an attack. the west has been wanting about for months and chattering diplomatic efforts to stop a war unfolding on the eastern edge of europe. ukraine's governments has 57 people, have been killed, and the u. n's refugee agency says around 800000 ukrainians, have fled their homes, ukraine's president to me as a lensky, call the attack a declaration of war on all of europe, which harolds the fall of a new on curtain. russia president vladimir putin assist the assault was needed to protect civilians in the east, where ukrainian forces have been battling rushing back separatists for years. meanwhile, there are more sanctions against russia. the u. s, as we've heard is announced export controls and high tech products. and along with the u. k is targeting russian banks and all the car go oligarchy rushes national airline error float has also been banned from british space. and they've been protests in support of ukraine across the world, including in russia, where police detained more than $700.00 protest is in dozens of cities under

simmons. joseph live now from give and entered in a couple of us that have been fighting around an airport a kid. well, can you talk about that while it's hostile airports and it is a small airport. it's 4 cargo planes and, and charter planes. and it was attacked several hours ago by russian helicopter gunship. it was a tactical attack. it didn't necessarily destroy the runway. heavy bombing could have done that or cruise missiles or any other form of munitions. but this was a tactical attack. it would seem by these helicopter gun ships where now informed by president adviser or who's speaking to the media that that's the airport is now being controlled by russian forces. and this heavy fighting. while there was heavy fighting up until about 40 minutes ago,

going on at that airport with artillery ukrainian artillery, engaging the russian, the russian fighters. now, the thing is this, there is an unconfirmed report that's 18 illusions. 76, a troop carriers left russia on a flights into ukraine. and these were allegedly report re carrying go up to around a $140.00 troops on each plane. and they could have either landed at that airport, these paratroopers all they could indeed have the capacity to parachute down on, on to the ground. although that is a mighty mission in these conditions in that area, the, the of even ground and forest at certainly not a certainty that they actually did approach the situation that way. but that the problem is this, that getting that information confirmed is, is,

is very difficult as we're not sure exactly what's happening. it's only 10 kilometers away. and we're also hearing again unconfirmed reports that 20 helicopters could be in flights. the fall long carrying special forces from better roost russian special forces from better roost and their destination is the capital. that's the un confirmed report. there seems to be a line of thought that this could be a ground attack aimed at government buildings. and indeed, presidential palaces possibly, but certainly aimed at regime change aimed at trying to get the control of the city in certainly here anywhere where it's very, very quiet right now. but certainly the areas of power could be attacked. this has been an appalling day, a dark day for ukraine in

a dark day for europe. it started nitty 14 the half hours ago with the law, the sky lighting up with shell fire, with explosions from miss isles. and then the people such an awful situation. therein, this is how the day looked. ah, the russian invasion was lost with terrifying speed and against a wide range of targets. right across the country. a long military build up around it. cranes, borders finally unleashed by full roof. the kremlin line helicopter gunship fighter jets miss isles tanks. convoys of armored vehicles are all involved in what russia calls a military operation for the moment. the targets appear to be specific and strategic

. they include ukraine's airfields and military bases. this video from merely to poll in southern ukraine, appears to show the destruction of the cities airfield, with shrapnel and shells are also reported to have landed in civilian areas including the capital key. if you're looking at any deal at some of them until the very last moment, i didn't believe it would happen, but i thought it might just involved in it's in the hands, but i didn't ever think it would involve kiev who's got a through most likely war has now begun, every one is leaving everywhere as shut another to you, your camp. i hate the country that started this war. i speak as a mother and as a ukrainian, and i call on the whole well to help us. and scott, vous, aggressor, ukraine's government declared martial law or children. when i had a conversation with you as president joe biden, the u. s. is starting to gather international support in today. we need you. each

of you to be calm. if possible, stay at home, please. we are working, the army is working. the tie security in defense sector of ukraine is working in the russian military offensive follows a carefully choreographed strategy of russia's president vladimir putin. he unilaterally recognized to separate his engines in eastern ukraine as independent of give and then sent russian soldiers in, under the pretext of being peacekeepers. the battle fellow hans and don, yet, skin the eastern ukraine, has been going on since 2014. with more than 14000 people killed in fighting between the russian back separatists and the ukrainian army. now, on putin calls peacekeepers the only attack i, when the russian leader is warning ukrainian soldiers not to resist the when you put them up on your shirt or whatever we try to stop us and further create threats

to our country to our people should know that russia's response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history. we are ready for any outcome. the russian invasion began to spite last ditch appeals from members of the united nations security council to ease tension ukraine's ambassador to the un demanded. his russian counterpart stepped down as chairman, co putting cola rove to stop aggression. there is no purgatory for war criminals. they go straight to hell, ambassador o, as news of the invasion spread in ukraine's capital, kiev main, highways out of the city quickly became good lot with traffic as a mood of desperation. developing now many people just jumping into their cars, getting their families together, and heading on the road,

trying to get to poland. but the main auto roots are all jammed. there are so many people trying to do the same thing. others are going on the ground taking shelter. others have been flocking to the supermarkets and frantically stalking up on essential items. this was the scene in cremmit, also in the east of ukraine as shoppers grab what they could to fill their cupboards. the ukrainian army and air force are putting up a fight and resisting the russian attack. this video from the defense ministry said to show a russian helicopter shot down by ukrainian forces near keith. but there will be no reinforcements from nato, and the olds look heavily stacked against ukraine's forces. and andrew, we had your report there, lance, he asking people to stay at home if possible. and it seems that they're not really doing that at as what situation is now for, for civilians that,

that certainly not lower. but let me just update you with something that's just in that hosta model and airports which i was referring to earlier on as being russian control. we're getting some unconfirmed reports about that artillery battle now suggesting that the ukrainians may have regained control of that airfield. that will update you on as soon as we hear anything more, as far as the civilians go, you are absolutely right. they were asked to stay put by their president. they didn't, they that the, it was a surreal atmosphere, really because people seem to be just stunned. the, even though so much warning had been given about this was almost a level of complacency and people would just absolutely not with it initially after that very early morning barrage of, of, of, of, of fire and bombing. and so then we actually started seeing people running for their cars. this was just before daylight. and the next thing was that every auto roots out of the city in

a westwood direction towards poland was actually the blocked and jam. so people were stuck for ages. what were the others doing? well in hoc heave, which came under very fierce attack by the russians, there was a lot of civilian deaths. there are children at least 4 children killed. and there was accuse really long queues for people who wanted to volunteer and wanted to donate blood because the medical services were up against it in every, virtually every city in the country, completely up up against it. and then we have other civilians who are just really looking for cover because they felt it was too dangerous to travel in their vehicles. they were taking anywhere we were with a large group in an underground car park at one stage when the local and local authorities. and we've got to get take cover because there was a, there was a series of strikes in the area. and then an add to all of that. the metro stations

for metro stations now a converted into into makeshift bomb shelters. and it would seem from what we're hearing from you cranial sources from the president's office that russian russia has taken a lot of losses in this. we're not sure of the numbers. there are all sorts of numbers given from 200 to much higher figures. but there are also reports that, that the javelin missile system that says new to this, to the ukrainian forces as have been used in real anger before that takes out tanks . it, sir. it's a ground to ground missile, which has been effective. it would seem because a whole column of tanks and armored personnel carriers coming down from bella, luce were told. and this is not confirmed either that that was repelled this column and it was held back and pushed back. now whether that actually happened is unclear . finally, sure, no bill, the form a nuclear plant, the disaster which was in 1996 at that that was

a held by the russians. apparently there was a battle over it, or there is a boat, a real great degree of concern about a nuclear waste plant within the area. it's a large area, but the russian forces now have that under control. and as far as we're aware, there is no damage done, which is some of our relief to, to civilians. but back to the civilians again, they never had any chance of preparing for this mentally. and in many ways physically, they're in a situation now which no one knows what's ahead of them. some are turning into refugees, some a traumatized in basements, or in the metro's, some just wandering in a bewildered fashion on the streets of marshall marshal lore imposed any one can have a gun. now, among the lot of concerned about what is happening here next, whether or not they'll be an attack on government buildings. it's dark and justine,

thank you very much indeed. and you thank you. and just what we're doing rather under simmons was dropped to his saying that a russian, a and 26 military transported crafters crashed in russia's burnish region. and the crew has been killed that some military officials quoted on the i facts as it will bring in more detail on that story as we get it, but appears that the military transport aircraft a russian one has crashed, killing the crew, or russia has been preparing to invade ukraine for months, nearly $200000.00 soldiers were deployed around the country, including near the rebel held areas of lou hands, antoinette sk in the east. and in crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. russia is attacked the capital kiev, and the major cities of khaki, maria, pole, and new pro. and it's military immediately talking to ukraine's ad offenses as well as caves main airport and add bases and several other cities. russian military

vehicles have been deployed from crimea and better roost, where russian troops were taking part in joint military drills. and in the east, the ukrainian military says it's killed 50 troops in new house region and down 6, russia warplanes. patriots on my f is the director of the eurasia democracy initiative. he joins us live from care by scott, thank you very much indeed for being with us and appreciate you telling us what the latest is on the sun you're being evacuated. tell us where you all while i'm in the center of the city and obviously tensions are running high. there's talk of russians trying, you know, possibly attempting to infiltrate the city streets overnight. maybe tomorrow. this probably will not happen without pitched battles in the city. because there's just too many were too many weapons on the outskirts here. you know, it's looking very dire. lot of folks are leaving it's. they're like moving from the city at the speed of less than an hour. you can see my kids like

here right now where we're like, you know, we're trying to decide what is the best way to proceed. you know, it's very, very, very dense right now i can imagine thank you very much for talking to us at that time and, and from what you're seeing, is it your impression that is going to be a full scale invasion of ukraine and nato russia trying to take a chunk of the country while despite what russia exclaiming, how is the military operation? it is already a full scale invasion of the crate and even wider than the worst case scenarios that were being banded about in the lab. in the last few weeks prior to the what's happening now, i just got through listening to a job biden's press conference and i will come in while very, very discouraged for the faith and future of ukraine. i understand john, by jo jo biden's, limitations. there was the fact that even swift cutting off rush from swift. and

once again, he once again made it clear that is going to be in no military reaction on behalf of ukraine. ah, that's pretty much that pretty much on dies vladimir, put in a strong signal that nato is joined july and it ukraine and basically giving it up and how strong do you think the resistance can be? i mean, i understand that the government has been asking you for more equipment. is it too late for that? you think it's probably not too late, but you know, it should have been coming today. i messaged me it should have come yesterday, but okay, i mean, whatever i've done is done with the war last minute shipments of significant weaponry from britain from ball the baltic states us did also help out quite a bit. but we're talking, if you are to save ukraine, you're probably talking about closing the airspace and air surface to air missiles

which will take time to transport. so ukrainians are currently pretty much left on on why not facing the world's 2nd deadliest army. and they're doing from walk from all by all account, they're performing miracles of the, of, of a feller they've, they've, down the plains, the helicopters, they've disabled tanks, etc. but the question is, how long they'll be able to, to hold out against this armada. you know, make no mistake, folks, let me just say, this is the modern day adult hitler, that you're dealing with. this is what we're dealing with. one of the things that we've heard in the last few days was that the, the us release various bits of intelligence including the fact they believed and operate at russia would invade ukraine. and they will says that they thought the government would be deposed. and that would be a, a sort of a kill list. what's your impression about what kind of what,

what might be put in place instead of a government if it comes to that? yeah, well this was for the stated amid part of his mission as he announced that this morning demo demilitarization and did not vacation ukrainian government did not vacation implies that the current government, even though the president w queen is a, is jewish, is somehow in nazi and so yeah, this would mean that they would go and try to decapitate the creative government. mind you, governmental buildings are going to my right. it's probably like a 10 minute walk and very likely that that, that is the scenario that will unfold in the next day or 2 or 3. some of the names we heard for potential replacement for this going to puppet regime.
