those who died since the russian assault began. and as i moved, i thought, when you said lee, today we lost 137 heroes, our citizens. 10 of them were offices, 316 people have been wounded for defending as many islands all i bought, a gods died heroic death, but they have not surrendered me. they will all be ordered posthumously. the title of the hero of ukraine. let those who gave their lives for ukraine be remembered for ever well, loud explosions have been heard in ukraine's capital on friday morning. at that was the scene in kiev. couple of hours ago. it appeared an object was shot down over the city. let's get an update of what the latest situation is in the ukrainian capital. andrew simmons is standing by for us. this is andrea. what is happening this morning? well, the placid sky line behind me a bit lies the fact that it was a menacing nights. a lot of air strikes, a lot of missile strikes,

which has been emphasized by the foreign minister. and at early this morning that shoot down that sir air defense getting that war plain that jet, that crashed sadly into a residential area. the early reports we have is that 3 people have definitely been injured. we know that there's one fatality, and that's it was something that proved sir the russians wrong in that they had taken out all air defenses. that certainly haven't taken out all air defenses around the capitol. this was in the, on the outskirts of the capital. it has to be said, but certainly not with the, a large amounts of, of explosions, overnights. a lot of those exposure crashes and bangs were, were air defenses and attempts to actually do what they did right there. and we're hearing, obviously, you heard from vladimir as a as lensky. they're talking of the,

the death toll a $137.00 heroes. as he described them, the who will all get possible posthumous metals. a 10 officers were killed as well . and he said that he referred to all border guards being killed, trying to defend their country. because the rapid movement of, of armory, across land and across all borders are really, really did take her bodyguards by surprise. or they had no choice. it's really whatsoever. we visited one of those borders on wednesday and i can testify that they would stand no chance whatsoever against the armory. but having said that, we've had a quite a, we had several reports now are all for a very successful operation. and an engineer keys um, which i is the town near the bella, luce, russia, and ukraine border. or that that, that,

that they actually that with post an attack by armour armour, that armor column, the were tanks, there were armored personnel carriers and missile launches that wasn't far from the st. keith car. which as i say, is the, the, the point where the 3 borders converge. and it would seem that there was a fierce fight posit, very likely to involve javelin ground, to ground a tank missiles taking out those, the armory. and we're also hearing that cruise missiles are being used that these really accounts for the really white flashes which we've seen and we've seen some pretty horrendous explosions. and those cruise missiles have been used on the capital, at least 4 of them on, on thursday, and possibly some overnight. we're not sure of that. and address that, well, what's the sense that among the people we saw lots of people leaving in large numbers at kia yesterday, but those who have stayed at what's

a sense among them is there this feeling that the russians are looking to take the capital there is obviously, little sir, or trauma, roy, i'd say because of the extent of and here we go. now i am a law. let's just see whether that follows a pattern which tells us we need to stand by. yeah, we're, we're okay for now. um the base be that people are situations like this. obviously you go into a, a, a situation where what is next? you hear the jets flying low sometimes sometimes there is none whatsoever. i'm being told by security that this is not a, or just a warning shot. it is actually saying that there is an imminent attack. so i'm gonna have to get kit it out now or android. we'll leave it there for now. when we do come back, all right, well, we'll come back to you later in the day. thanks very much. andrew simmons, the in care where we heard the air raid sirens going off, perhaps,

or another strike about to come in to the capital of ukraine. but more than 1700 people are reported to have been arrested during anti war protests in russia. thousands converge on the streets of at least 50 cities after learning of their president's order to invade ukraine. but as smith reports now from moscow, 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's mind have been elsewhere. as the 2 men talked, russia's military was advancing in ukraine. these trucks were headed from crimea to the cranium border. part of an army that had surrounded a country of 40000000 people, a country that russia's 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 if i have to also address the ukrainian military. dear comrades, your father's grandfather's great grandfathers fought against the nazis defending our common model and 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, of ation of the armed forces of your grain stage to video of human with mass casualties. amanda civilian population was filmed in ukrainian cities that 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 war. this is a full 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 grocery. at an afternoon meeting with businessman, no one admitted to vladimir putin any worries about sanctions. russia central bank says it's got $631000000000.00 in cash reserves to cushion the economy has, if it's closed off from the global financial system. and in a late night phone call on thursday, the french president told vladimir putin,

he was exposing himself to massive sanctions. the kremlin said putin and emanuel macklin 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 t, bernard smith, al jazeera laska. i was to lead here amount 0 white people in georgia are watching rushes invasion and hara ah, the you're locked into your weather report for the middle east in africa and we've got a lot of activity in the levant. we'll pick up the story there in just a 2nd, but 1st going into the golf. we've got this southerly push. there is 30 degrees in re at i q 8. we may see some activities, some showers dropped down that will play g u, the risk of

after consulting with his national security council in the white house situation room, and the virtual meeting with g 7 leaders, us president joe biden made good on his promise to inflict massive costs and russian president vladimir putin for invaded ukraine, who is the aggressor who chose this war. and now he and his country will bear the consequences. the new sanction target major russian bags and russian league, and in coordination with allies representing more than half the global economy, are designed to cut off russia from the world's financial system. russia, assets and the u. s. are also now frozen. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars. euro's pounds and yen export controls to curtail rushing 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 leaders, chuck sure, who condemned russia 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 and august was a signal to put and movie to chinese president. she as well that america was 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 troops won't be said to ukraine, but if the conflict spreads to a nato country, us soldiers, already station europe would be obliged to fight on thursday, fight and reaffirm that commitment to collective nato defense the united states will defend every inch of nato territory with the full force of american power. president biden has announced the nato summit will be convened on friday. the purpose to affirm support for ukraine and map out the next steps necessary to strengthen the nato alliance. kimberly, how can al jazeera the white house? well, let's head back to here. we can speak to a ukrainian member of parliament. it is a floating mia of joy met. i just, let's get into the sanctions issue in just a 2nd professor. this gives an update of how things are, is from your perspective in key of how things were overnight. we've just heard of course, what reporting as eric turns, we're going off. what's happening with them?

oh, the in regard to the sanctions. we understand that 2014, there were strong sanctions, but we are strong going out to talk, booting breeding. he is aggressive over the european continent. and because ukraine is not the only goal for poaching, because his mom, speech before attack ukraine, the, or heard that nature can just do that. they 2 countries, the former soviet union bowels are composites are on the rates as well. what is the bog? was it low key of situation? now it's quite 10. we have a column of 60 or about 70 kilometers from key. and the plan is close by greater

security service land, russia to take control of the ukrainian governmental blog and make it to where to establish the proxy governments in the or to come our current government on the read, the very big human get to the, to religious to sign something in favor of russia, and i bring an army, it, is it okay, given that and what you feel is about to happen? what are you and your fellow employees and other people within the government? and indeed, the president, as a lensky as well. what are you doing in terms of security and safety and will you stand? yes. yes, i'm in cave now. yeah,

and you intend to stay there despite what is he me about to happen? we are ready to every calendar scenario and we are connected the radio. all them and ready to have a seat at every moment because the last decision were to have a break in the car and seeking and well there are 2724 online and any kind of decision if we're needed, we're going to decide and now i think we joined to the wrong thing that 1st of all, little or is the very serious and we not gave out and giving up. and the 2nd we ask for how sanction against russia, duration included. and margot on energy trades with russia

because the we see that when, when the oil and gas prices rise now and more russia aggressive became ok. so let me just talk to you finally we just run out of time. but sanctions is one thing, isn't it? but they will take a long time to take effect. do you think more should be done internationally to help you crane in the predicament there and we are fighting for our existing not still as well as not only independence and the i think we need the military. i can understand nature like to send the soldiers now, army army is very motivated bogs. we needs military supplements or in arms, and we've just stopped russian aggression. now it's been 21st century

is a matter of existing of the state. and this is the 1st case since the 2nd world war, i do hope that this case will not be damp. one very brief question. go to man. how frightened people are frightened enough. of course, people are driving children dying in me and in the courtyard building where my apartment is. people are waking downstairs for next shelling and they spend many of them and knives shelters. so this is very tens. is that people frightened? and the same time, we will not forget russia and you think, and we are ready to resist the area of appreciate your time. thanks very much indeed for speaking to us here on al jazeera, that's about me. i have

a member of ukraine pilot while the war in ukraine is closing stock market vitality volatility and the price of oil is risen to more than $100.00 per barrel threat. the high energy cost swell white government has under, has more from new york. the customary cheering at the opening bell on wall street couldn't mask the fear built by many investors at the start of trading. news of russia's invasion of ukraine cents stocks tumbling following a global trend that also hit asia in europe. the dow and 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 ruble dropped to record low. i think, right boot knows essentially decided to put glory and imperial conquest and also revenge ahead of the economic prospects of his own country and fellow russia.

that's the simple calculation he's made. making matters worse, the global economy was already unsettled, still trying to recover from the economic 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 exporter and analysts 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 to 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 on al jazeera york or the head of the nomination says, the protection of civilians must be a top priority. un humanitarian efforts in ukraine of being increased. i'm antonio terrace, repeated his call from russian troops to immediately withdrawal. the decisions of the coming days we'll shape old wells and died. it'll affect the lives of millions upon millions of people in line with the chart that it's not too late to save these generation from the skirts of what we need. peace refugees from ukraine are arriving in slovakia by car and train like his government is lifted all current of ours restrictions for ukrainians escaping rushes attack and will open more border crossings if necessary. well, good earlier about protests in russia condemning the criminal invasion order.

similar demonstrations to be held in other countries as sonya gig are now in london . i got it from start to berlin, tokyo and they 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 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 a rationalist attack. really did we watch a minute by minute. what's happening that most of them i don't

want to so far as john vented measures a bit, we've had a 100 russia many have feel that it is too little too late. and while the rest of the maybe shut of ukraine when ukrainians living abroad in from home to some 30000 ukrainians 100, gathered outside the russian embassy in paris. singing others shouted for an end. the invasion and many more gathered elsewhere in the city or condemning the assault by like many others around the world, determined to show the solidarity with ukraine clinic. i will, i'll just, sarah london. what another country knows all about russian invasion is ga, 14 years after russian troops georgians have denounced the cremeans latest on

school problem 1st year. walker has the story now from the capital chipley c. freedom square in sibley. see tonight completely occupied by thousands of georgia and also many people from approve. there are many ukrainians living in sibley, see many ukrainian experts they've come out to show that discussed at the invasion that has been taking place in ukraine in the morning. i was feeling desperate. it is horrible. we don't need more in the 21st century. ukraine don't need to put him in ukraine, so please leave georgians and ukrainians really consider themselves brothers and sisters. you know, that's because george experienced 14 years ago. what is happening now in ukraine? the self was set in territory of georgia was invaded by russian forces later

recognized as a republic, although territory. and of course, it is considered international part of georgia. so georgians are experiencing a sense of deja vu about what they have been seeing today happening in ukraine. there's a lot of fear about what's going on. and concert of course, about what is going to now transpire. we need to stop russia just in maybe ukraine because next there will be other here. ok, can faith, great. it was good crane and next other country. there are very strong nation and we all support them the whole world. and they should keep from fighting no matter what the cost for their freedom and georgians will help them in any way. and the way we can ga, feel vulnerable russian military bases states in just a few 1000 kilometers away from the capitol. and they're fearful about what could

happen next. because given the unprecedented invasion, anything now seems possible in this region where ukraine says that russian forces have taken over the chernobyl nuclear plant, have look at this video at, from inside the air. it appears to confirm that it is the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster lies just stuck in 30 kilometers a. so from the capital a reactor exploded back in 1986. it is covered by a protective shelter to prevent the leaky radiation. ah. all right, let's have a quick update of the headline to renounce 0 and loud explosions have been heard in ukraine's capital on friday morning. ukraine's foreign minister says russia has carried out her rift rocket strikes on key if president, florida made zalinski.
