happens in 2022. in the very heart of europe, president put in, chose to bring back war to europe. this is a fully fledged invasion in ukraine. and this hand mentally puts into question our peace order. but today i also say the european union stance united tonight, european leaders were fully aligned in condemning the atrocious and unprovoked attacks. now we have to meet the moment. we will hold the kremlin accountable. well, for the president, a mental macaroni is the only western needed to have spoken to vladimir putin since the offensive was launched. but he said that conversation was brief and unproductive you in an is shonasha. i had a frank direct, quick exchange with president putin, at the requests of president lensky, to ask for an end to operations as soon as possible, and also to ask him to talk with president lensky. requested that because he could

not reach him. it didn't have the desired effect because the russian president has chosen war. well, loud expressions have been heard in ukraine's capital at key will bring you more details and those when they come to see, ah, well, we got correspondence in ukraine and in russian under simmons reports 1st. now from here, which on thursday woke up to ah, the russian invasion was lost with terrifying speed and against a wide range of targets. right across the country. alone, military build up around it. cranes, borders finally unleashed by full roof. the kremlin road 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 air fields and military bases. this video from merely to poll in southern ukraine, appears to show the destruction of the cities airfield, with shrapnel and shelves are also reported to have landed in civilian areas including the capital key. if you have anybody to let her hold up until the very last moment i didn't believe it would happen then. yeah, i thought it might just involved in it's in the hands, but i didn't ever think it would involve kiev who was crazy. will most likely war has now begun. every one is leaving everywhere as shut another to think or you, your cough. i hate the country that started this war. i speak as a mother and as a ukrainian and i call on the whole world to help us. and stuff, vis, aggressor,

ukraine's government declared martial law or truth november. i had a conversation with you as president joe biden. the u. s. is starting to gather international support. today we need you. each of you to be calm is possible. stay at harm, please. we are working, the army is working. the ty, 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 regions in eastern ukraine as independent of give and then sent russian soldiers in, under the pretext of being peacekeepers. the battle for lo hans and don, yet skin 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 putin caused peacekeepers the only attack and the russian leader is warning ukrainian soldiers not to resist the when you bundle. so when you shed, a waiver will 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. 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 his central items. this was the scene in chrome at oscar in the east of ukraine as shoppers grab what they could to fill their cupboards. the ukrainian army and air force of 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 kiev. but there will be no reinforcements from nato. and the olds look heavily stacked against ukraine's

forces andrew simmons al jazeera, give. what russia has been preparing to invade ukraine for months? nearly $200000.00 soldiers were deployed around the country, including near the rebel held errors of la hancock. and that's in the east and in crimea, which russia and next in 2014, russia has attacked the capital, kevin, the major cities of cock give a merry poll and new pro. and it's military immediately. it targeted ukraine's air defenses as well as caves main airport and air bases and several other cities. a russian military vehicles have been deployed from crimea in belarus, where russian troops were taking part in joint military drills and in the east. the cranny military says it's killed, 50 troops in the hands greeting and down to 6 russian warplanes. well, use president joe biden. bon sanctions to impede russia's ability to do business. a white house correspondent, company how could, has this room after consulting with his national security council in the white

house situation room and a virtual meeting with g 7 leaders. you as president joe biden made good on his promise to inflict massive costs on russian president vladimir putin for invading ukraine. who is the aggressor who chose this war. and now he and his country will bear the consequences. the new sanctions target major russian bags and russian elite and in coordination with allies, representing more than half the global economy, are designed to cut off russia from the world's financial system. russian assets in the us are also now frozen. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars euro's pounds and yet export controls to curtail rush and high tech imports are also being opposed to cripple russia's military and high tech capabilities. the moves are backed by top, congressional democrats, like senate leader, chuck sure,

who condemned russia's invasion and pledge support for ukraine. ukrainians are tough and resilient. i know they will not give up their country. they will fight fiercely for it. but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell is blaming biden for the crisis. i think the precipitous withdrawal from afghanistan in august was a signal to putin and movie to chinese frozen she as well. that america wish and retreated across america, demonstrators protested hooton's invasion after a generation of fighting in iraq and afghanistan. most americans are war weary. in a recent poll just 26 percent of americans support the u. s. playing a major role in the russian ukraine conflict. biden has promised us. 2 troops won't be said to ukraine,

but if the conflict spreads to a nato country, us soldiers already states europe would be obliged to fight on thursday, fight and reaffirm that commitment to collective nato defense. united states will defend every inch of nato territory with the full force of american power. president biden has announced a nato summit will be convened on friday. the purpose to a firm support for ukraine and map out the next steps necessary to strengthen the nato alliance. kimberly helped al jazeera the white house, while it's here now from bill broader, who see of hermitage, capital investment group, and head of the global bank that ski justice campaign. he says that international sanctions are targeting some important institutions and individuals, and they should go further. the sanctions with don't include most of the people on the forbes list. prudent oligarchy, big oligarchs,

the whole lot of money improvement in the west. and that's something i couldn't cares about very profoundly. and i think that there could be more people sanction. and then the biggest sort of absolute killer blow is swift if russia were to be disconnected and swiftly would put russia back to the dark age and economically. and i think that's a very powerful tool. and i'd like to see that use is commensurate with what's happening so far. and it's the one thing that we can do without putting hoots on the ground that would really have a major effect on bladder. billionaires will always be getting around the sanction, which is why the 1st thing that needs to be done is to get a list and, and the u. s. government and the canadian government and the u. k. government in the you all have these lists and go after the 50 or so rationale guards, the biggest, all the guards who look after putin's money. and it's just so obvious. i mean, you have these guys who control almost all the major assets and businesses of the

country. they're in cahoots with food and they look after proteins, money, and without affecting anybody other than these people you can go after them. and so i'm surprised that there, that they haven't been sanctioned, but we're, we're, we're early days into this crisis and they still can be thanks. and then i hope there will be sanction. alright, still ahead here. another 0 more and how the russian tackling ukraine is shaking up the global economy. ah hey, there, winter storm warnings again for north america. so let's break down those details right now. a huge swath of snow coming from new england, right into the canadian maritime provinces. boston, i think you could see up to 25 centimeters of snow. now this disturbance also stretches further back into the gulf states. we've got some soaking rains here.

well, the temperature divide houston 8 degrees, but new orleans 20 and in that boundary between the cold and the warm air. we certainly could see some freezing rain develop off to the west coast of the u. s. things are quiet here. los angeles has a height of 19 degrees and our next, whether maker is swooping in to the northern in central coast or british columbia. it's drive for now for the south coast, vancouver at 6 degrees in an extreme cold weather alerts still for winnepeg by morning, feeling about minus 40 minus 45 with the windshield. some showers to be expected along that caribbean coast of central america and our usual bursts of rain through the amazon basin falling across the andes. we've got an overcast day, though, for bo guitar and lima. lima is coming in at a $121.00 degrees. we've had some rocking storms across argentina, including severe thunderstorms with some hail that pushes into paraguay, and also the southeast corner of brazil, port, or lake gray, high 30 degrees on friday. that said, the

romania is ancient forest. some of europe, most pristine. there crucial files society and crucial fall battle against the climate crisis. but illegal logging by a ruthless timber mafia is doing both the landscape and people's life logging in romania is our truck song. violence dealing with the plains of corruption and the role of powerful multinational people empower investigate. romania. wait on you 0. 0, the me again, you're watching 0 reminder on top stories this hour and ukraine's president says,

137 people have died on the 1st day of full scale russian military invasion. florida, ms. lewinsky has called a reservist across the country and they run a $100000.00 cranium to fled their homes. western powers hitting russia with more sanction us is blocking the assets of russian bangs sanctioning oligarchs, the restricting access to high tech goods. and the e. u is targeting the trade energy and transport us president says he will be announcing further measures against monitor after meeting with g 7 and nato allies on friday, joe biden says a russian leader is trying to test western resolve well, more than 1700 people are reported to have been arrested during anti war protests in russia, thousands converged on the streets of at least 50 cities after learning of their president's order to invade ukraine. but as smith reports now from oscar. just a few hours after launching the biggest invasion of

a european countries in the 2nd world war. it looked like business as usual at the kremlin. pakistan's prime minister was the guest, but my vladimir putin mind have been elsewhere. as the 2 men talked, rushes military with advancing in ukraine. these trucks were headed from crimea to the cranium border. part of an army that surrounded a country, a 40000000 people, a country that rushes president has said he doesn't think should exist. in an address to russians on ukrainians, putin said his aim was to demilitarize ukraine, and he made clear his antipathy for the government in kiev doors and abilities the equal. i have to also address the ukrainian military. dear comrades, your father's grandfather's great grandfathers fought against the nazis defending our coleman motherland. not for today's neo nazis to take power and key. if you took the oath of allegiance to the cranium, people, not the john to robin ukraine and bowling its own people. do not follow its

criminal orders. i urge you to immediately lay down your weapons and go home. russia's defense ministry says it's met all its targets for thursday, destroying 83 ground facilities of the ukrainian military. and it insists they're not targeting civilian areas. so some of them are the high precision weapons or the russian armed forces on to destroy the military infrastructure. these are objects of air defense, military airfields, evasion of the armed forces of your grain stage to be do of human with mass casualties. amanda civilian population was filmed in ukrainian cities. there have been some attempt in russia to protest against the invasion. several 100 turned out in moscow. the shouting no, to war, judging the russian public reaction is difficult because it's almost impossible to protest freely here. but vladimir putin approval rating was at 69 percent in the build up to the wall. this is a whole blown invasion. and the president puts you,

not you a couple of days before outlined in his speech. what he wants to get from you green washington grange should do, and that included therefore, a total demilitarization of the country at an afternoon meeting with businessmen. no one admitted to vladimir putin. any worries about sanctions. russia's central bank set, it's scott $631000000000.00 in cash reserves to cushion the economy. if it's closed off from the global financial system. on a late night phone call on thursday, the french president told me he was exposing himself to massive sanction the kremlin said polluted an emanuel macro and had a serious and frank exchange of views. whatever was said, it was unlikely to have been enough to stop the russian military advance on bernard, i'll just sarah moscow. australia's prime minister has criticized china for easing

trade restrictions with russia. well, western powers trying to pressure moscow into india's offensive. scott morrison was reacting to reports of aging is fully open to russia, wheat imports, china sake supply, i positive role in world affairs, thy size, i think pace. and i welcome those sentiments. and i welcome the comments which talk about trying to get to a position where these, these vile of ex concern. but that said, you don't gallon, throw a lifeline to russia in the middle of a period when they are inviting another country that is simply unacceptable from the reports that we have seen. and i will join nations decide. this is not a time to be easy, tried restrictions with russia. we should all be doing the exact opposite. but it's been out to natalia and his senior for the to her institute to covers international politics and economics join just now from beijing. i know welcome to the show. first of all, let me ask you, what's your reaction to what's happening in ukraine?

while nick, i mean it's, it's a tragedy. there's an old saying that the grass gets trampled when elephants fights, and unfortunately, ukraine has become the grass. they are a, a victim of a geo political, at least from russia's point of view, a geopolitical contests between russia and the united states visa v. nato. so at this time, it's the russian people who are suffering and it's almost it's, it's very sad. what about the ukrainian people that's suffering, right? i'm sorry, i meant to say the ukrainian people that are at, at the right base. okay. they have in essence, been put in between these powers. ok. let me just ask you, is it china? it's a trigger for china that was as a kind of balance ties close ties with moscow with his domestic concerns and also

desire to retain his work, your relationship with europe. so how does it balance well it's, it's very, very difficult for me to do it. i mean, they have 2 principals, one, they see a common threat that's being posed by the u. s. encirclement and not only of, of china, but also of russia. so they have this common threat idea and the, and the sense that these, these, the political and military alliances, whether it's office or whether it's nato are being used against them. so they have a common threat. they don't, they need each other to confront it. but for china, this is not in line with their ideas about a stable world trying to create more trade. this is going to create more uncertainty, and they are certainly against direct intervention by outside forces within countries. they who invoke that many,

many times when they've been put on pressure with hong kong in the rest, it's always going to very close economic relationship with ukraine and trade was like $15000000000.20 yes. the, the relationship between trying to ukraine has been very, very cordial. they were increasing trade. it's absolutely central to china as desire to open itself up to europe. not only europe itself, but also the, the central central europe in the stands. so this is not something that china is interested in, but they don't have any trade restrictions with russia, and they're continuing that trade. and unfortunately, the narrative seems to be that since russia invaded ukraine, somehow, china is at fault. the sanctions being imposed by the states by the u. k. by europe on russia. it's going to ultimately have that the whole affairs is going to have a huge impact on well, the economy, global stop,

markets already plunges. we'll hear about a minute. what impact is that going to have on the chinese economy? do you think it's not going to be positive? obviously, it does. it creates a tremendous amount of uncertainty. i imagine that china is going to take a very cautious approach to predicting its growth next year. they might even revert back to this idea that they will, based on circumstances, look at what's going to happen. china is still very stable. they have a very large market. it's anticipated that their economy and their currency will continue into next year. is a very, very attractive especially given the uncertainties. but when you start looking at, you know, increasing trade r c e p joining t p as c p t t p or the belt road initiative. all of these things are going to basically be put on hold as people be come very nervous about making long term bats

with so much political uncertainty. but one thing is for certain bladder i put in my have he may get what he wants, which seems to be some sort of a partition of ukraine into a pro russian or a and the rest. but the fact is, he's now given a complete greenlight and invigorated nato, which is the exact opposite of what he was intending to do. i appreciate your perspective, thanks very much. and if you join us here in onto zeros on time. thank you. so as i mentioned, globally, markets have been tumbling, the price of oil is also top to $100.00 per barrel. gabriel elizondo wraps up power financial markets. a very customary cheering at the opening bell on wall street could a mask. the fear built by many investors at the start of trading news of russia's invasion of ukraine, sen, stocks tumbling following a global trend that also hit asia and europe. the dow in s and p were deep in the

red most of the day. and despite elite rally, investors for the long term are fearful in russia stock spell over 30 percent, and the rubel drops to record low. i think brian recruit and as essentially decided to put glory and imperial conquest, and also revenge ahead of the economic prospects of his own country and follow russia. that's the simple calculation he's made, making matters worse. the global economy was already unsettled, still trying to recover from the you can amik effects from the pandemic. inflation continued supply chain issues and slower growth. and now a war. in many ways, it's the perfect storm. oil prices reached over $100.00 a barrel for the 1st time since 2014. russia is the world's 2nd largest export or an analyst. predict that along with supply chain issues,

the war could push prices at the pump even higher than they are now. prices for european natural gas, most of which is supplied by russia, skyrocketed 50 percent wheat and corn prices jumped their highest point in a decade. both russia and ukraine or major producers, and consumers might ultimately pay the price in more expensive food products. with the global economy now shaken from war, the question is no longer if there will be a downturn. but now how deep. and for how long? gabriel's gondo l. jersey to new york. well, protest against russia's invasion of ukraine to be taken place around the world. san diego reports not from london. i got from start to berlin. took me. i'm a root. this is the anger over russia's invasion of ukraine around the world.

in london, a crowd outside the prime minister's downing street president, making its demand loud and clear calling for a complete economic isolation of russia. worry that many here have for their families back home. i was shocked. my mom called me it was 5 o'clock, 4 30 in the morning here. it was top issue was like, rational really didn't watch a minute by minute. what's happening. most of them, i don't say a lot of subarus john. i'm going to measure the bit. we've had hundreds russia, many have feel that it is too little too late. and while the rest of the maybe shot of ukraine when ukrainians living abroad in from home to some

30000 ukrainians, hundreds gathered outside the russian embassy in paris. singing.
