this apartment block was hit oh yes, bowler 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 known as for 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. let me let me go over your fear 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 our. these families have crossed the border into hungary, hoping it won't be too long before they can return to run on the market. there are long queues at all the banks and the gems have been emptied. there are thrones in the shops on you pretty much can't buy anything any more. and even paying by card is not possible because some parents are not working. i'm there are our long queues at petrol stations. further along the frontier and poland, hot food and drinks are being served with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees celsius. some people walked 18 hours to get here. many with young children escaping rights groups, say indiscriminate attacks by russian forces. ah, think he is oksana, those are copier things, ukrainian national anthem, and she clears her after the attack. would be good. despite the

devastation, an air of defiance remains, alexia grime, al jazeera, dozens of people have attended an anti war protest in the russian city of saint petersburg. ah, these were the scenes in the city of scuffles broke 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. well, in other developments, russia saying it's pushy limiting countries access to facebook, accusing u. s. social media jain of censoring russian media. oscars communications regulator says facebook has ignored demands to lift restrictions on for russian media outlets . well in terms of what is happening inside your crane are fears that that could be a full scale assault on the capital, kia kia,

but in order to get to this point, bosher has been advancing on ukraine from a number of different sides to north east south and then also the west. currently, all eyes are on the capital which is being pounded by missiles. russian forces of also entered a northern suburbs and surrounded the city. the fighting has been taking place in regions of sumi cares on and ukraine, 2nd largest city of car keys, where the mayor has told every one to hide in bomb shelters. and in the port city of narrow pal, close to rebel held areas in the east, at least $35.00 residents were injured. their off to fight is backing pro russian separatist, find it. civilian buildings are ukrainian cybersecurity officials of also accused hackers from bella, roofs of targeting military personnel. they say ukrainian soldiers accounts have been broken into using password ceiling emails before using the same technique on people related to the soldiers. crane has been inundated by cyberattacks as the

russian military build up began to earlier on. i spoke to ogre to cardiac she is ukranian journalist and i asked her about conditions in kiev right now. well, there are attempts to takes t y a. c 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 the rest of 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 you brand new leadership 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 severe integrating 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 wash and 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. are you not too much stronger aggressor, too 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 you would be very fierce and look

a fresh on 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, on from the anything from any civilian casualties. it's pretty clear at this point, russia, you cluster munitions that are banned international law. while of course people few are, 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 boston rochelle exemptions. the more that the rocky prussia, all the all international organizations. i'm happy that it's already happening. russia was about from the council of europe. i hope it's going to kicked off from the un security council because, you know, it's absurd. the country, the finding a war, aggression against an innocent country is and they bring any independent countries, hold in the presidency of the us. you are the counsel at the moment. so there are

a lot of, you know, what, what the west walk can do for you frame the field from the korean government to establish and no fly zone refrain. because basically the brain doesn't have a sufficient air defense. it doesn't have any missile defense system. so you pregnant civilians i've just been, you know, running on the ranking on them and there is nothing that can shelter them. it's on acceptable when we are see now, there is one crimes taking place and the one must react to that slat, flail from syria to china. have let him efficient, strongest allies responding to his invasion of ukraine. ah, would you believe this snow stopped for western areas of japan? hello everyone. here's a snapshot of your weather on saturday. it's happened into it's southerly. flo,

so some showers for the south island and also for the cape has been, has a hiv $23.00 degrees on saturday, the tropic ah, phone counting, the cost argentina turns to the only method arresting the does the from really all that how to find out debility something happened fuels, will bank tablet quit the bundling policing with holes thus these how's, how a pharmacy happened? the water shortage. counting the cost on al jazeera ah, revealing eco friendly solutions to come back threats to our planet on al jazeera. ah ah,

ah, welcome back. a look at the latest developments now. nato secretary general yen stole to bug says, russia's aim in the conflict with ukraine is to change the government's give. the alliance is deploying more units to bolster the defenses of nato nations rushing forces. meanwhile, all closing in on ukraine's capital on the 2nd day of an invasion that killed at least a 137 ukrainians and driven thousands from their homes. ukrainian military says russian spies and saboteurs are on the outskirts of give. and you guys present road him, is a lensky, is pushing the talks with russia offering to designate ukraine a country allied with neither east nor west cremeans, as it will only attend talks if they happen admins, which is the capital that a roost from where thousands of russian soldiers are crossing into ukraine.

oh, there is an emergency meeting of the united nations security council taking place. there is a draft resolution introduced by the u. s. condemning rushes aggression in ukraine . sharper tonchee is falling his realms job. what's happening there now? will this is the last designated speak of before the vote. brazil we've already heard from the us albania, u. k. gabon, on mexico. brazil is quite significant because they one of the waiver is we were hearing that they would they might have abstain. but now brazil speaking very forcibly about a line having been cross but very full. so we also calling for dialogue, and that seems to be key because originally the resolution certainly was on the chapter 7, which was a very cooperative muscular but mechanism for the un security council to use which actually have, you know, that, that would actually force your security council to monitor,

i monitor rushes response, not it's actually wellness on the u. s. has, has moved back to chapter 6, which in the end is a, is a call for dialogue for trying an order from the un security council for the parties involved in the conflict to reach a resolution based on the un charter. that is what they will be voting on, and the u. s. is attempting to show the isolation off russia by in pod avoiding a double veto at the un security council. i think that was that prospect perhaps off not any russia ve telling the resolution, but china as well as well as having 2 extensions which may or may not still happen be extensions because we understand certainly india and the u. a, as they have expressed in the previous security council resolution and security council meetings leading up to this one. they say that they're all legitimate security concerns that russia has, as china says, as well as nato continued to expand to russia's borders. i think brazil is just

stopped speaking, so we shall see now whether russia calls for the vote. russia as the president of the security council. i request that those funding in favor of the draft resolution contained in document asked $222155.00 to raise their hands don't produce those against dollars. your old abstentions it is regardless the result of the voting is as follows. i give you 11 votes in favor, and one vote against 23 abstentions. that is, the draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the security council. i now give a floor to those members of the secure to counsel who wish to deliver statements.

after the vote, i gave the floor to the representative of albania. your colleagues. alright, does she have on the 15 member security council 11 in favor? one against that was expected russia being a permanent member with a veto and who with a 3 abstentions holler, it's usefulness as expected, then the u. e and india, for the reasons i was talking about just before the vote of china, china abstaining, which for the us is a victory. because if they had with a double veto, the un security council, it would have been a very serious, serious step as far as the u. s. would have been concerned. so at least this watering down somewhat awful of the mechanisms being employed and the resolution has done the trick. china has always been rather has been consistent in the sense that says, look, it is concerned about the territorial integrity of you and member states and of sovereignty. as it always has been,

because it has been break away republics of its own. but it has said that there are specific concerns when it comes to the situation in ukraine. the expansion of nature ever eastwood's despite the promise is given to the moscow. and so, because of the revised language attorney actually appeared about a half an hour before the before the security council session began, china was able to abstain bolt veto, veto the resolution that right. and she had, we've been speaking to people inside ukraine throughout the day. and it's quite a contrast to see this meeting when the russian military is things are really escalating and, and picking up pace inside the country. they're moving towards the capital key of advancing on multiple products. francis is linda green, thomas described when phil thomas describes mothers and that children having to take shall tat what is the purpose of this set in this exercise? hair surprise. well, give you

a security council is always fulfill about rolling off a place to often speak your own constituencies. but i believe we are going to pray back out there to the, to the, to the proceedings on ukraine actually, who has been invited to speak and actually might be about to speak as well. but let me make one thing clear. russia, you cannot detail this resolution. you can veto this resolution, but you cannot veto our voices. you cannot veto the truth. you cannot veto our principles. you cannot detail the ukrainian people. you cannot veto the un charter and you will not veto accountability. responsible members of the security council have stood together today in the face of russia's aggression. and we will continue to stand

with ukraine supporting it in every way we can. we are united behind ukraine and its people. despite a reckless, irresponsible, permanent member of the security council, abusing its power to attack its neighbor and subvert the u. n. and our international system. this vote showed which countries truly believe in supporting the core principles of the un and which ones deploy them as convenient. catchphrases, this boat showed which security council members support the un charter and which ones do not. we will be addressing this matter in the general assembly where the russian veto does not apply. and the nations of the world can will and should whole roshan, russia accountable. and stand in solidarity with ukraine. before i

conclude, i want to commend the true and tremendous courage we're seeing from the ukranian people. i want to thank the ukrainian permanent representative who is here with us today. earlier today, president biden spoke with president zalinski and personally commended the brave actions of the ukrainian people who are fighting to defend their country. he also conveyed ongoing economic humanitarian and security support being provided by the united states, as well as our continued effort to rally other countries to provide similar assistance. it's hard to imagine what it must feel like to see tanks rolling into your city to see bomb dropped on your streets to see so soldiers, storm your parks and your gardens. but in the face of all of this,

every day ukrainian people are taking extraordinary actions to protect their children, to protect their country, to defend everything they hold dear. i also want to commend the courage of the thousands of people in russia who are protesting putin's war despite grave risks, to their personal safety. they will keep chanting, no war. they will keep asking how many russian lives prudent wants to sacrifice for his cynical ambitions. as we move forward i hope more member states. busy take their cues from this courage and honor all of this bravery with more of our own. thank you for see me. just a representative of india,

us ambassador linda thomas greenfield, describing the human impact of the attack on ukraine right now. by the end, she would just be just hearing now from india delivering some remarks. but i wanted to ask you how much of a struggle was it for the u. s. to persuade other members of council like india, to not vote against the resolution yet also deeply about the welfare security. i don't think there was ever a possibility that india would vote against, but i think that extension was, was global, seem pretty set in stone because of the amount of the security relationship between india and russia. and you're also has a very long as you make not aligned anywhere in the united nations. so i don't think that's, that's a huge surprise island. deed and just as well, has mentioned the judgment security concerns of russia. again, for the same arguments that we've often heard, that the nato had promised not one inch further to the east and carried on

regardless and so on. so i think india certainly was, was a nice i remember it's also the other seine has throughout the week been very measured and very cautious and the language while calling for restraint throughout . so i think those 2 for the best strategic interests that perhaps we've come with elsewhere have, have decided that it just wasn't worth of my language throughout the week actually has been, has been, has been very measured. i will let you know as to what's happening there. you and thank you very much. you have a tendency for thing to us. and of course been watching events that you and security council very carefully. but also that has been reaction from president putin's allies in the international community, the most useful ones, so far as been the better russian president, alexander lucas shanker, tens of thousands of russian troops of use about a rooster, the launch pad to invade ukraine on the capital cave, which isn't far from the border. syrian present, michelle, i saw his called putin to express his support. aside has been

a staunch ally of russia since it started bombing serious rebel held areas in 2015 . turning the tide of war in the government favor russia strongest and allies in latin america, venezuela and cuba of blamed nato for the crisis in ukraine. but of calling for the conflict to be resolved peacefully and brazil's present terrible scenario who met booted in moscow just last week, criticized his own vice president for condemning the invasion. meanwhile, the criminal's most powerful ally, china has refused to support sanctions against russia. the invasion of ukraine poses a particular challenge for china, which has refused to condemn the military action. katrina, you reports from beijing, hold you less than a month after chinese president. she didn't think 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 of china feels very strongly that the u. s. trying to circle it and contain it. ah, russia feels the same way on 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. 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 ad to fed cern. 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 should bring up to speed with some of the latest developments this hour . the reports of loud explosions in care of the ukrainian capital. a witness cited by the reuters news agency saying that artillery rounds have been heard near here. there are also reports of intense gunfire in the western parts of care we have known in the past 24 hours that a russian military forces are essentially encircling the capital city and also keeps maritally could crow writing that have been 5 blocks within 3 and 5 minutes that were had near a power station in the north of the city. this is the russians of launched attacks from ukraine to northern board of with that arose the eastern frontier, also coming in from the south from crimea. that wrapped up this out. but we do leave you now with the sounds of the invasion, what's been happening in care of. and they're not just bullets and bombs are also tears shattering glass suitcases on cobble roads and air rates signals.

we will bring you we will bring those scenes a little bit later on, but really some very emotional images of how people are coping with the situation inside ukraine. right now we've been speaking to people in cities today in the 2nd largest city of car keys, but also in kiev, where we hear that people have been taking shelter, going on the ground in metro subway systems that have been essentially transformed into bomb shelters. but also many people trying to flee these areas where there is expected to be a concentration of fighting as the russian military advances. i think we can bring you that montage now. ah

ah ah ah ah. 4 ah, with sure my yeah

ah ah ah oh oh, i need you as my manager as i material my to my fan views is brands to that point where he doesn't do with my nigeria on al jazeera. ah, ah, that once city dwellers now posted to the villages i followed, the personal journeys of sweet women teaches their daily struggles with isolation

and battles with physical halogen. sacrificing that family likes to be education a future generations. women in the weight on al jazeera, informed opinions, a national resource by is not large enough to get their adequately to our people. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, this is no man's land between ukrainian government forces and separatist fighters with the self declared to next people's republic. the city seems more russian than when we were last here on the surface. at least we are between a rock at our hard place. there are no jobs, we are doing our best to survive. this was where some of the heaviest fighting took place between pro russia separatists from the ukrainian government forces when conflict starting in 2014. most of the people that used to live in this

neighborhood a to afraid to return because of the sporadic, shelly, and now increasing phase of a potential renewed conflict. ah for explosions reverberates across key f as russian sheets edge towards ukraine's capital. ah, i know about this, and this is all 0 life. and doha, with special coverage of the russian invasion of ukraine, ukraine's president remains defiant, but says he's ready to this.
