a fight. this russian artillery convoy near the southern city of curse on was wiped out as it traveled along the highway from crimea. and the defiance of the soldiers in a ukrainian position on snake island in the black sea has captured the public imagination . oh, okay. i minutes lights of the entire garrison of 13 was wiped out by a russian bombardment. russia says ukrainian civilians need not be worried, but this civilian motorist would disagree. his car run over by a russian personnel, korea which appeared to deliberately target his vehicle. remarkably,

the man was pulled out alive from the wreckage. in contrast to the situation elsewhere in denise pro, a city with a population of a 1000000 people, it's relatively quiet. but even here, there's no escaping the sense of foreboding and tension. i don't want to go away from my land or my counter will stay here. i will fight here for my freedom, for my a dependent for my nation, for us. and for me especially this is this, this is innovation. i absolutely and unbelievable. we're in the center of the capital of ukraine in a war that's costing so much in lives, money and faith. yet, there's an eerie silence here. no want to be seen around this area. the streets over there, pretty deserted. those that are around are invariably in palm shelters have to cope so, but really we are struggling by getting stuck in here. that's the thing that we can

count cape at the moment. her son, voice some optimism i think is very terrifying. we're closing and i'm sure that in about a few days it should be fine. now, it should says little bit to those who want to escape. time is running out and the kids main railway station rooms have been crammed with people trying to get on to trains and flee the city. oh, this exodus is de leon interrupted by air raid sirens, which send anyone else in the open scurrying for the safety of the mirrors. mattress version movable 100000. the ukranian civilians have already fled to neighboring countries of a steady flow of people crossing into romania, hungary and poland in the country. they've left behind cases, full of weapons,

are being handed to any one who wants them. all men aged between 18 and 60 of bam, from leaving the country. now, the president is telling his soldiers, you are all we have. this is turning into a bloody war. this country believes the fighters for ukraine's very existence as an independent state for andrew simmons alger 0. give all that we want to know to ukraine. second largest city car cave where a car drive there in the city had a lucky escape. when missile started to land around him, the driver was just pulling away from the traffic light when the explosion started, the whole thing was recorded on a camera installed in his car. car. keith is close to ukraine's border with russia . out there is charles strapped the travel from the country's easter, to denita pro in central ukraine, an e describe what he saw in his journey while crossing through multiple conflicts.

eyes. please started in mariel. paul, that very important strategic coastal city naval port only as of see in the southeast there was heavy sharing there to the east of the city. we understand tanks being used. they're very poor man offering people the chance to get out of the city to be evacuated. him describing their being saddled, hers there, as well as situation. very worrying in the south east. we moved west towards another port, city bare dance. we had heard earlier a couple of days earlier that the naval base there, the personnel from the naval base had actually flayed and indeed when we arrived. that was indeed the case. there was no naval personnel on the base. one security

guard saying that they had all left confirmed that we spoke to our source and said, he told us that said the reason they've gone was because the russian forces was threatening to shell, the bass, and indeed the city, if they didn't leave, we left burdens can continued heading west towards the town of melissa pole where there would be reports of heavy fighting. indeed, video started appearing of heavy fighting in that city. as we approached the road got increasingly quiet. we passed a number of ukrainian military vehicles, still smoking from what we understand could well be just precision attacks, possibly using drones. we have no way of confirming that, but as the road got quiet and we stopped off at a village and spoke to a family in this village, they were getting ready to go. they'd been in contact with people in a village, further up the road between us and melissa people. and they said that there was a convoy of russian tanks heading our way. so we started crossing country

and passing more burn town. ukrainian military vehicles eventually running into columns of ukrainian soldiers, some of them withdrawing from eligible of which stage they told us that the city had fall. the child had fallen to russian hands. they were most insistent that we keep heading as quickly as we could north. on the way we passed cruise missiles tanks, many infantrymen, very, very nervous, big groups of, of ukraine and infantry getting ready to, to defend the city of his upper regional. interestingly, in the last few minutes, we're getting reports of the authorities there potentially trying to set up some sort of evacuation from is operational. and indeed, in the last few hours, we've seen pictures of that tank column moving through some of the towns that we passed through in an around bare dance. the military that we spoke to said that

they expected bear dancing to possibly fall into russian hands in the next few hours. meanwhile, in the east of the country, back around to places like donnette sk between donates good mary, opal. we hearing reports from villages that we visited in the last few days. they saying that the shelling is ongoing. people been hiding in bunkers in shelters, absolutely terrified. one woman telling us that she was just pleading for zelinski to negotiate with putin to try and stop this onslaught. so yeah, i harrowing day thought millions of ukrainians. i was, i say it is quite the curfew is about to begin, but a lot of people going to be deceiving, very nervous as this crisis continues. it, right, well actually just some lines coming in here from the into fox news agency. that is,

the government news agency in russia saying that russian troops have entered the ukrainian city of my litter polled. and so that is the latest line there. and so there isn't actually that lies in southeast, in ukraine, and there is an ad base there. but this as the russian military advances on the ukrainian capital kiev and has actually reached the suburbs. meanwhile, u. k. transport minutes has just said the effective immediately, no russian private jet can fly in u k as space or touched down in the u. k. britain had already been russia national airline, arrow flop from landing in the u. k, which prompted russia to ban british airlines from i think it's airport and crossing it's asked space and the european union and the u. k. r. adding russian president vladimir putin is foreign minister sir gala rove to the sanctions list. the use foreign policy chief says the block has also expanded its blacklist to include all members of the duma who supported the military,

aggression christian will join just to all the wildly to sanction by the e u series. bashar i said, and alexander lucas shanker, of bella. ruth o. v u. s. is also planning to impose direct sanctions on boots and love of alan fisher joins us from washington. and the sanctions announced by the us targeting technology and russia's bank stopped short of the president. but is that about to change now? is changed in the last 1520 minutes from the podium of the white house briefing room, jen, saki, the press secretary announced that the us was going to sanction said guy oliver, of the foreign minister and vladimir, put in the president of russia. it comes after a discussion earlier today between joe biden and the head of the you, joe biden. and the white house administration has said from the start, they want to make sure that sanctions are coordinated, that they are sustainable, that every country is comfortable with doing them because that would have the

longest term impact the 24 hours ago. joe biden was here at the white house that he was asked if there was a possibility that said guy loved off on vladimir putin would be sanctioned. he said that was still very much on the table. 24 hours later. he's decided that yet those sanctions are now in place and that also includes a travel. but interestingly enough, jan jen sack, he was asked if they would bond travel from russia in the way that the united kingdom has done. she said this stage there are no plans, but she did tell is again, that like the mirror as zalinski and joe biden had been speaking on the phone, the to 40 minute phone call, probably a couple of hours ago. and in that call, joe biden praised the bravery of the ukrainian president and said that they will continue to support them with humanitarian, military, and security. aids something that the ukrainians have been looking forward to. but very clear. just in the last half hour the americans have confirmed that they are going to personally sanction the russian president and his foreign minister. i

thank you very much and the last allan session nato, a sending thousands of troops back to my land air and sea to protect allies near russia and ukraine. such a general against dalton baggers called the crisis a new normal in european security. and it has pledges, report came out after the exciting, present readiness and asking criticise both western nations and the alliance for not coming to his country's age. once. as it is a fool emotion of ukraine, um, there are more towards a key of on that the stated goal is to her change to government of ukraine. ah, it is a very unpredictable situation, or therefore not rous, spit clerk, but the old pay. my respects to the ukrainian on forces are, which are really proving, though bravery under their courage,

by fighting understanding of against her the much larger invading russian force. dozens of people have attended an anti war protest in the russian city of saint petersburg. ah, these are the scenes scuffles breaking out when police appeared to try and break up the rally and detain. one of the protest is on thursday. hundreds of people taking part in similar rallies across russia were arrested. russia says it's partially limiting the countries access to facebook accusing your social media giant of censoring russian media. moscow's communications regulator says facebook has ignored its demands to left restrictions on for russian media outlets. as go live to bonus, myth is falling developments in moscow. so coming, becoming more concerned perhaps about descent. and these protests that continue to

take place are now that they are taking measures to limit access to facebook. marin facebook saying what's happened is that they were ordered by the russian government to stop the independent fact checking and labeling of content posted by for russian state organizations. one the may 1 of them, a news agency, another the defense ministry channel. russia refused to do that. i'm sorry, facebook refused to do that. and so russian, retaliation is slowing down or facebook as access here in russia. it's also been the case that in the last 20 for 48 hours, celebrities and personalities in russia have been posting opposition to the war on facebook and on instagram, which is owned by facebook. and on a couple of other messaging services as well. interesting to note that the white house actually said receiving their spokesman's, that they were amazed by the courage of protesters. those who took to the streets

in moscow on thursday and across other russian cities about 50 russian cities. 1700 people arrested. and there were further protests in saint petersburg to night, although moscow remained very, very quiet. although a very, very heavy police presence, he and bernard russia so far has shrugged off the sanctions, announced by the the u. s. e u and the u. k. and the, the impact of financial measures on the economy. but now at, we have this news at the u. s. is going to sanction president bit in person a what there is there been any response the kremlin there was response that the kremlin knew this was coming in terms of increasing and strengthening the sanctions and the, the spokes warner for the foreign ministry here. she said the sanctions reflect the west's impotence and they were expecting this or they have as we already have

reported a heavy oh wow chest, if you like, $631000000000.00 in cash reserves to sustain them. should there be, or should there be any sanctions it go won't sustain the economy forever, but it will provide a cushion for the beginning. so russian, ready for the ease. and of course, very unlikely to affect the behavior of the vladimir putin all those a close around him. and just wanted a point to ask you about barnett church there, sir. lang, coming in for from a spokesman for ukraine's present rodney zalinski saying that keith is ready to discuss as these higher and peace calls, lance he'd already said he was open to having and go nations better tell us about what's been happening diplomatically. yeah, this is very interesting, this coming in the last few minutes from her or the spokeswoman or spokesman verb

zalinski as saying that they were discussing with russia a place for talks to take place. now we've been hearing about this all day about them being on and off. originally, vladimir putin was open to an offer by zalinski for talks because the russians understood that ukraine was willing to discuss it. neutrality route, full of plans were put in place to have these talks in minsk than ukraine. according to the russians said they wanted the talks in warsaw, and then the russians say they heard nothing since then. so this is moved on slightly since then. but bear in mind what the conditions might be for those talks . vladimir putin has already encouraged the ukrainian military to over throw. zalinski is government, us make it easier than the russians having to do it. and the foreign ministry survey love rob. he said, oh, that they want ukraine ukrainians, and to have their own democratic and free society. but he doesn't believe that the

government in ukraine at the moment can be considered democratic. this is, by the way, a government headed by zalinski who was a voted in with 73 percent of the support in 2019 the kremlin problem issue. hooton's problem is with zalinski personally. so how they're able to make these talks move on. given that we'll, we'll find out hopefully, perhaps in the next 24 hours. thank you very much. bernard smith reporting has been rushing capital moscow. all right. joining us now as care giles, he's a senior consulting fellow, the russian erasure program at chatham house. and here we have the situation now where ukrainians, particularly residents in kiev, are anxiously awaiting what could be a full scale assault on the capital. you also have the ukraine president saying that that he's ready to sit down and talk about peace and negotiations with the

russians. how much scope is there for diplomacy? well, we've seen diplomacy fail all the way up until this point and it seems there are still unbridgeable. gaps between what russia thinks ukraine is and what the rest of the world thinks it is. and also between the objectives of the 2 different sites. now, russia you heard a, is insisting that ukraine effectively surrender for talks to happen. and that is not going to happen. while there is effective resistance still ongoing, so not only other to actually incompatible priorities for the 2 sides. and as you just heard, zelinski personally, being unacceptable to the russian leadership. but also there just aren't the conditions that any kind of diplomatic breakthrough here at all. yet. what do you make of vladimir putin suggestion that there should be negotiations in the garage and capital minsk? well, it may be a last ditch effort to salvage what, what was the last shreds of respectability of the minsk agreements, those cease fire records that were previously imposed on ukraine by russia and

which were held up as the the one way of actually resolving this conflict between the 2 countries, even though they were effectively unworkable, right from the time they were very 1st signed. but of course the status of minsk itself as a capital and billows as a country has changed completely since the time when those of course assigned. then it was a country which was pursuing its own independence, which had a certain degree of latitude in his foreign policy, which wasn't under the heel of russia, and that as old change in the last 2 years, in effect, there's little difference between holding these talks in minsk and in moscow, president wrote him, is landscape whereabouts are not clear, but he is refusing to leave the capital the suggestion of talks and mary says, is this an effort to persuade him to leave the country? it's not impossible. at this point, it's very reassuring that his real whereabouts are unclear. he has posted reassuring videos,

showing people that he is actually still in kiff and standing by the people he is leading. but he's also declared that he himself is a personal target. he and his family, a personal target for the russian forces. so it is a good thing for him to stay hidden for the time being. let's not forget, on his last trip abroad to germany, to munich, he had to be spirited back into the country. not on a commercial flight in order to avoid any potential russian attempts to intercept him. so yes, there is every potential for mental talk to actually be a truck that goes less mom. forget moscow has a track record of your in forum statement to its own capital, supposedly, but talks and then imprisoning them. how quickly could the government fall under the pressure of bombardment, which is, which seems to be eminent. now in kev, that is one of the imponderables, it's one of the things that we cannot even speculate about now. it does seem that the resistance of the ukrainian forces and ukrainian people have caught up, has come as a bit of a surprise to russia. and it is not

a foregone conclusion that you will, in fact, for we are surprised slightly that we have not seen the massive stand off bombardments by air and missile strikes that we were expecting on populated areas. at an early stage of this conflict. it may be that they are coming now, but what the effect will be, whether it is to cause, give to capitulate, whether it will just different resistance is unpredictable. thank you very much care, giles from castle house. you well, the united nations is saying about 5000000 people could flee the fighting in ukraine into neighboring countries. and more than a $1000000000.00 will be needed for 8 operations over the next 3 months. man in the capital give, have been crowding into train and metro stations every the trying to leave the city, or seeking shelter below ground. alexia bryan reports

ah hale since he is thousands. johnson with the train station or to leave the ukrainian capital soldiers reportedly fired into the air to dispute the crowd. so again, with they've been trying to leave all day for the morning here. but as you can see, that on that list, like russian troops are edging closer with explosions, heard around the city earlier this apartment block with him. yes. hello. i was sleeping. there was a sharp explosion and i was thrown 3 meters from the room. i was in into the corridor, the glass shattered there were sounds coming from the street. i got scared and started crawling on the floor. oxen glencoe made it out alive, and emergency workers went door to door, searching for victims. and as russian tanks rolled into the city below, ground, people crowded into metro stations,

exhausted and uncertain about wants to come home with them or you with a shelter in our building is not as far underground as the metro station. that's why i think it's safer to come down here. at least a 100000 people have been displaced by the fighting. but the united nation says the number seeking refuge outside ukraine could reach 5000000. i'm glad we got all right, give me a letter. we had to leave behind everything our whole lives work. it's a terrible feeling to leave your home. you can't imagine how i feel. all these families have crossed the border into hungary, hoping it won't be too long before they can return. we'll go out on the market. there are long queues at all the banks and the gems have been emptied. there are throngs in the shops and you pretty much can't buy anything any more. and even paying by card is not possible because some banks are not working. and there are hour long queues at petrol stations. further along the frontier and poland, hot food and drinks are being served with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees

welcome back. recap of main developments of the past few hours. osh and forces are closing in on ukraine's capital k of on the 2nd day of an invasion that killed at least a 137 ukrainians and driven thousands from their homes. ukrainian military, a sang russian spies and saboteurs are on the outskirts of king of queens present. brought him is. lensky is pushing for talks with russia, offering to designate ukraine as a country aligned with neither east, no west cremeans, as it will only attend talks if they take place in mince the capital that arose from where thousands of russian soldiers of crossing antique crime, nato secretary general yan stoled humbug is saying, rushes aim in this conflict is to change the government in case of the alliance is to point more units to both that the defenses of its members rusher is attacking ukraine on all sides to the north, east, south and west. all eyes are now on kia, which is being pounded by miss styles. russian forces of also entered

a northern suburb and surrounded the city. fierce fighting has also been taking place in the regions of sumi carson and ukraine, 2nd largest city of car keys, where the mayor has told all residents to hide and foam shelters, and in the port city of my uncle, close to rebel held areas in the east at least $35.00 residents were injured off to fight his backing pro russian separatist, fired at civilian buildings. let's take a closer look at how this is all playing out with jack wadling as a research fellow for land wolf are the royal united services institute. can i ask you how ferocious the assault on kia could be very ferocious and it's likely to intensify significantly over? it's nice. in the next 24 to 48 hours. the russians will look to use heavy strikes and artillery to initially try and break the will of the defenders, but then also to clear them from defensive positions followed by fairly heavy

attacks by infantry. you know, when you say have the attacks, is there likely to be carpet bombing on ukrainian targets? not carpet bombing bugs. essentially mass artillery fires, which has a very similar effect and probably the use of them, america, hillary, which essentially ignited the oxygen in the computer. it will, it will cause very, very heavy civilian casualties. is the russian president taking territory as quickly as he would like? no, i think the russians have been slower and they're advanced and anticipated, and they faced stiffer resistance than they had hoped. which means that they are now likely to be driven to use some of those more lethal systems in order to try and break up those defenders. what does that mean for the ukrainians? how long can they sustain the fight against the might of the russian army?

well, i think they're going to take very heavy casualties, but it's a very large city. been terrain is defensible, and the russians will really have a difficult fight on the hands if the residents, if kids can maintain the resistance. and really the longer they can protract the fights, the better chance they have to draw the russians into a negotiation. could we see very difficult bloody been warfare before that happens? yes, i think almost certainly, and it's also worth noting that the russians will start infiltrating the city. in fact, they already have with special forces to try and essentially clap some of the resistance from within assassinating key leaders. going off to the families of civil society activists. and so this is going to be a very dirty struggle. what about president lensky? he has said that he and his family will be targeted by the russians. what,

what will the military do when they reach the city? as i say, i think the russians at the moment are trying to no council take over the critical national infrastructure of the supplies of energy bridges and key access points. they'll then try and surround the city, bring up their artillery at that point on leesha. massive fires campaign at the same time, there will be the process of trying to hunt down to break up the leadership, the current in state. do you think there is concern about being drawn into a protracted conflict of the kind we have seen in afghanistan or syria? is that a scenario the russians will be trying to avoid? they will absolutely be trying to avoid it, but whether they can, a lot is yet to be seen. obviously, that we've seen many, many people in ukraine willing to resist. and while the russians might be able to occupy the east of the country, unless they take the west as well, which means

a much larger operation, then that will be the means for ukrainians to sustain a resistance over protracted period. what can what link a research fellow and we'll start with the thank you very much. i want to bring you the story. now the ukrainian soldier being praised as a hero for allowing himself to be killed, to slow the russian advance. metalli's got coon was part of a team that was supposed to blow up a bridge, which was mind, but with the russians quickly approaching as no time to designate remotely, it's got good radio to his unit to say he would do it manually and then get them farewell will ukrainian cybersecurity officials of accused hackers from bell roofs of targeting military personnel. they say ukrainian soldiers accounts of been broken into using passwords, dealing emails before using the same technique on people related to the soldiers. ukraine has been inundated by cyber attack since the russian military build up and

the attack began will oh, i spoke to oh, girl dunker, she's a ukrainian journalist and chief editor of the key of independence. and i started by asking her about the current situation in kia well, there are attempts to takes t y, a russian forces. there were several attempts to enter a cave from the north. today during the day you korean government says that you, great and forced to destroy those groups of russian shows that we're entering pays, but that is the ra a, some russian tablets are thing you know, like dorman sellers inside cave, russian agents that are operating there and probably with the aim to, you know, target to bring in leadership. there were reports and present to last you said that russia wants to kill him and his families number 2 on their his list. so that will

be a very tough night today for, for k u or ukrainian leadership, but also for civilians in ukraine capital. how many times the russian officials in written days and weeks of denied that they are going to invite you grades and here we are. full scale invasion of ukraine is on the way with him. you know, air strikes, targeting not only military, but also severe restructure target in kindergarten hospital in residential areas, killing civilians were more into perfect. so for the fall, do not believe with would in fact, no, but it's certainly ukraine believes what he says, nobody lives in his field. ukrainian soldiers show that they are determined to defend their country at the cost of their own lives. we're witnessing all over, you know, cross ukraine, ukrainians, or send you not too much stronger aggressor to much stronger enemy, but they are showing that they are not willing to give up and they are going to

defend the country. so, battle for cave would be very fierce and a lot of russian life will be a lot of booth and made it clear that she wants to wipe your brain from the face of earth. and, you know, and his goal is to basically subjugate ukraine. and he will not stop and you know, i'm from the anything from any casualties. it's pretty clear. and this for russia, you cluster munitions that are banned under rational law. well, of course people, if you're there would be more, more bloodshed, you know, and that's why they also appealing on the world to provide support to crying and also to involve more rochelle exemptions. the more that the rocky prussia, all the all international organizations. i'm happy that it's already happening. russia was expelled from the council of europe. i hope it is can kicked off from the un security council because, you know, it's absurd that the country find in a war, aggression against an innocent country is and they bring as an independent countries holding the presidency of the us. you are the counselor at the moment. so there are

a lot of, you know what, what the west walk can do for you. praying the rock fields from the korean government to establish and no fly zone and refrain. because basically the brain doesn't have a sufficient air defense. it doesn't have any missile defense system. so you pregnancy williams, i just been you know, running on the ranking on them and there is nothing that can shelter them. it's on acceptable one of their see now there is one crimes taking place and the world must react to that. of many people in eastern ukraine. this is an escalation of a conflict that's been raging for 8 years. the town of her lease car, which is controlled by russian back separatists people say shelling from the acquainting army as a secondary school. according to regional prosecutors, 2 people were killed. shell fire has intensified in the rebel held areas of danielle and hans can. recent mom's ad of the recognition as independent by russian

president push not to declaration was made on monday. well, it has been a reaction around the world. what is happening in ukraine? people rallying, calling for a halt to the violence. thousands of people gathered outside nater, headquarters in belgium, calling on the organization to stop in and the war in taiwan and canada. people also came out in solid derek with the crane many of them ukrainians saying they are worried about their families. similar demonstrations of been held in american cities as well in new york, san francisco, and los angeles. taking out a polish border with the gray would have been many people who have been trying to escape the fight using bas reviews there. and that has been a rise in the number of people trying to flee the fighting. is it intensifies in ukraine? what have you been seeing vain?

ela, we appear to be having a bit of trouble there. but of course one is named robbie on the poland, ukrainian border because there are fears about the humanitarian impact this could have. we've been speaking to people inside ukraine throughout the day, airports of traffic jams outside the capitol, kiev, but also many people from different parts of the country trying to flee. not just in terms of finding shelter, but to leave the country altogether. and the husband of rise recorded in poland is the number of refugees people that are trying to leave ukraine. but in times, all of that, the position of him a person, and the reaction that he's had his most useful i, so far as been about a russian president. alexander, look shanker, tens of thousands of russian troops have used batteries as a launch pad to invade ukraine. the capital key of which is not far from the border sharing present, shall i said, his cold pretend to express his support as that had been

a staunch ally of russia since it started bombing serious rebel held areas in 2015 . turning the tide of war in the government's favor, russia, the strongest allies in latin america than his whaler in cuba, and blamed nato for the crisis and ukraine. calling for the conflict to be resolved peacefully, and brazil's present terrible sonora, who met with putin in moscow just last week, has criticized his own vice president for condemning the invasion. meanwhile, the crime is most powerful allied china is refused to support sanctions against russia. invasion of ukraine poses a challenge for the country which has refused to condemn military action. the training reports now from beijing is less than a month after chinese president. she didn't ping that vladimir putin. russia's lead a lot, the most aggressive attack in europe for decades. the china's leaders have refused to condemn the invasion or use the word invasion at all, or how and he, she would, she'd have the ukrainian issue has other very complicated historical backgrounds.

today. it may not be what any of us want. so we hope that all parties will work together to give peace a chance. look in the key way. china is criticizing birth, united states for exacerbating tensions and nato for ignoring what it says or rushes legitimate security concerns. china also says sanctions are ineffective and orderly harm the general population. china feels very strongly that the u. s. trying to circle it and contain it. ah, russia feels the same way. ah, the combined pressure on both of them has pushed them together and there's no question about that. so at this juncture, they feel that they are up against the us. and its allies. paging has repeated its claims of non interference in the affairs of other countries. it would provide moscow with military support, but it has been bolstering trade, such as increasing imports of russian wheat. you don't go and throw a lifeline to russia in the middle of

a period when they're inviting another country that is simply unacceptable. but this doesn't mean china condones russia's attack on ukraine. it also has good ties with kill and relies on strong trade with europe. aging must balance its friendship with moscow while maintaining relations with the west for the sake of its long term economic and strategic interests. were china clearly supports moscow in terms of trade and economic sense in ideology, but won't actually, you know, kind of violate western sanctions. ah, the you know, to, to, to, to physically help, i think that situation will remain and that's what must go expects. on the same day, russian forces invaded ukraine, 9 chinese fighter jets and to tie one's air defense soon. some analysts have drawn comparisons between ukraine and the self ruled island claimed by china. a link chinese officials deny katrina you out a 0 paging. now the night evasion secure to counselors jr to vote on

a draft resolution condemning the russian military action in ukraine. schubert ancy is lifers at the united nations now. and this was supposed to actually will ready taken place your how, why the delay without a couple of delays. now we are expecting that meeting to take place at the top of the hour until i hear anything, anything else. but from what we can tell the initial resolution that the u. s. and albania had introduced the security council. the draft resolution was just too much . it was, it was, you know, some you and hands of told me very maximus it was using the mechanism of chapter 7 of the un security council. the most coercive mechanism with security council has to condemn vladimir putin personally and demand an unconditional withdrawal. a russian forces from ukraine, from what we're seeing and, and we without a and another draft leak to us just now that this resolution is not going to chapter 6, which is actually a demand for a resolution, a peaceful resolution of the, of the crisis as opposed to a walk in

a condom late treat coercive resolution. if you see what i mean. so this might be how the u. s. gets what it once, what it once ideally is 13. yes. votes from the members of the security council and abstained from from china. and the inevitable veto from russia. what we were hearing was what it was likely to get with the draft resolution. it was, it had been previously circulating, was 11 votes in the affirmative with at 2 extensions. but at 2 extensions, potentially from the u. a in india, and perhaps a double veto from both china and russia. now that would not look like russia was isolated. and that's the whole point of this as far as the u. s. is concerned to share international isolation. and if it's, if that 2 extensions and 2 vetoes from the security council, tony members, well that doesn't, doesn't do the trick. so we want to know whether this will be enough for the us to get wanted. wanted to have that scheduled meeting up at the top of the hour. thank

you very much and wanting to us from united nations shebra can see that. well, the sporting all of those had been reacting to recent development. joe, as hen out the talisman. that's right, mariam? yes. b internationally because it's either sports organizations to relocate or cancel events planned in russia or bella ruth european football company. but he's already done that with a major move stripping rusher of the champions league. final years, most prestigious, called game, was used to be held in st. petersburg on may the 28th. but it's now been moved to paris. you for thanked french president manuel macro for his commitment to have the match. moved to france at a time one parallel crisis. a decision that's got the backing of the defending champ, his chelsea? yes. a clear? yes. and sadly, sadly, i think it's the best reason to change allocation. the absolutely worst reason

and we feel horrible about it in general. it clouds our minds and the clouds, our, our focus of course, and we can absolutely understand the decision you a frizzle, for decided, russian and ukrainian club, and national teams and european competitions to play home games, neutral venues. but a decision is still to be made on well qualifies that fee for the responsibility. russia due to play, poland in a well cut play of moscow next month with sweden and check republic, also in line to possibly play in russia. majesty united of announced they've cancelled by 10 years small ship deal with russia's national airline air afloat. the airline had been united, it's official carriers since 2013. and they used to take them to european games. the deal was thought to be worth more than $53000000.00. united did not fly with reflect to spain this week for the game with a let's go the drink in the champions league, u. k. government bond airflow from landing in britain. for me,

one is cancelled this season's russian grown pre. the race is just be held on september the 25th in salt. she but f one says it's impossible to hold the race in the current circumstances and hopes for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation. like everyone said, you know, innocent people losing their lives. you know, people losing their homes and families and don't tough, safe places to, to live in it's, it's not right. but all, we can hope that everything gets resolved in the best possible outcome and way that is, that is possible. and for now, i think is the right suspicion by form one not to go to russia is so hard to predict the future what, what is going to be in few months. so definitely, i'm pretty sure that all the drivers agree with that, that decision. meanwhile, players from ukraine's national basketball team say they're concerned about family and friends back home as they wait for news in spain. they were playing spain's national team and a welcome qualify on thursday. just often use of russia's attack broke the return

leg in p if has been postponed. i would love to say that they will kill, you do live through and hopefully will stay safe once more. okay. nobody neutering recall. everybody hiding for kids who have to sleep like on the ground as to where can 2022 in the middle of summer. are you serious? it's exhaust wells. number 110 is playing waiting. daniel medford, ab says his mind has been focused on events back home. the russian will take over the top sports often of a joke of which suffered a surprise to feed into by miss moreland. sure. on the stand that venice sometimes is not that important. then i definitely lot of feelings when i woke up the novel loss and actually before the match, i didn't even know that. so i'm going to become number one. if you lose is no matter what, ah, so them, lot of messages and i understood that is happening more emotions. all his fellow countrymen,

andre rulers made his feelings clear following his semi final. when writing no, we'll place on a camera. he's doubles hartner black is ukranian, and that is how the sports world is reacting. it is now, but to marry him. thank you very much. joe will let short hunter a couple of other stories you've been watching as well. you as president joe biden is nominated at 1st of a black woman to serve on the u. s. supreme court. had an apple at judge. it's angie brown at jackson, lola place, liberal justice stephen bryan has announced his intention to step down in january for too long our government. our courts haven't looked like a merc. i believe is time that we have a court reflects the full powers and greatness of our nation with harmony and extraordinary qualifications. im truly humbled by the extraordinary honor of this nomination. and i am especially grateful for the care that you have taken

in discharging your constitutional duty in service of our democracy with all that is going on in the world to day. and our present biden has handled you crank. conflict has been top of the agenda for republicans. it is conservative political action conference. john hendern has mo, from the event in orlando. c, back was founded by aggressive u. s. foreign policy talks, people who wanted an interventionist strategy to the u. s. foreign policy that really changed after trump. so back in 1974. then future president ronald reagan introduced john mccain to rock as applause. mccain had just returned as a prisoner of war and vietnam. and that kind of intervention approach was popular back then. but since trump, he's had this notoriously close, some would say, warning relationship with vladimir putin and has had a non interventionist foreign policy when he was president. so

a lot of what's going on here reflects the trump foreign policy. these are really the more trump republican. so the most aggressive thing we've heard from the podium is marco rubio, the florida senator saying that he was inspired by the example of all ukrainians taking up arms and fighting against russia. and he said that that reminded him of the american revolution. but we've had other people stand over the podium and say, most americans couldn't pick out, keep on a map that they should be more concerned with what's going on on the u. s. southern border and then of course there's the more extreme view of donald trump, himself seemed to celebrate that recently saying that vladimir putin declaring to provinces, independent in ukraine, was an active genius. that it was savvy. just a development to bring you here, u u e i m f has said that ukrainian authorities have requested emergency financing and that russia is invasion of its neighbor and they're working hard to support ukraine. ukraine has mentioned the creation of an international fund in the past

for the defense of its country that would possibly open credit lines to procure eminent levy. now with some what's happening in the country ah oh . 2

6 0, oh, see, he's with sure, joe, my with goal role
