seize power in his latest on camera address, bernard smith breaks it down for us from moscow. this was an hour long speech from vladimir putin, in which he exit essentially blamed the collapse of the soviet union on the creation of this independent state of ukraine called into question, ukraine's very right to exist as a country outside of russia. vladimir putin's tone was at times frustrated, and at times bleak, and he blamed after that long historical lesson of why he believed ukraine was not really a legitimate country. he then went on to blame nato for its failures, to address a situation in the east of ukraine. he accused nato as his frequently accused nature in the past of expanding into all of those eastern european countries. and that were released from the soviet union at the brett when the soviet union broke

up. he blamed, ain't accused nato of a deliberately expanding into, into those areas. and he said that in east of ukraine, nato has failed to address the situation in don bass. this is where there's been a 7 year long, more than 70 a long now conflict with these russian separatists. and what vladimir putin has done is essentially ripped up the minks agreement. this is the 7 year long ceasefire between ed negotiated with ukraine and russia. and with the french and the germans, that were supposed to find a solution to the situation in east, in ukraine and say, in said, vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i am now going to give, recognize these 2 countries as independent states, straight after he finished his speech, he went on to sign that agreement, which included a friendship and cooperation agreement. which means that if the leaders of lou ganske and don't ask, need help from russia, they can call on it,

it means russia could send in troops to push back ukraine from its own sovereign territory. bernard smith reporting their alexia baron, is a political analyst and professor of comparative politics of the kia malia academy . he tells us now what he's been seeing when he's been out and about near where he lives. it seems that now there are no fights in the street during the night. rush, rush, him better through his eyes, and they also send some verses groups into the deal. they try to do it, but they are this through it. they're destroyed. so basically what we can ukrainian army is the founding they are trying to approach to the see the approach, the see the but the, i believe it's in the veins. they try to see if it's at around key the key. you know, it doesn't happen now. now about my own experience, basically i am,

i am all the time when tv a commanding was what's going on. so please don't believe any word. what fortunately saying about the cri, always the cynical light when he's trying to justify unprovoked the grass and it's not the proper again, the master put up again. now we have people right now. so just yesterday were 18000. he lives who took his guns as they were spread by me, all the volunteers of the military command. so basically we have the army, we have so all period boil defense which was created before that. and we have been deal with just, you know, saying that all life lines to get to get vectors. so

what i'm doing in this situation again, i am going around, i am not my house, 0, volunteer groups for tasks. they are all around the city. so they will be few and he called and called to see who are trying to organize pro rational soldiers, better group is or subversion groups who are trying to organize provocations on the state. so they are held by a local population. local population is bringing food water off, and that's what i'm doing as well. a lot of key wives and she actually most of key ways spend the time in the bomb shelters. my daughter also spend the night in being the shelter. now people came to their flats,

but even there will be that they will be in the shelf as again the shelf is around the seat. and in this subway speech as well, complicated dangerous 3rd situation, of course, all over the country. alex's heroes correspondent charles stratford joins us live now from the outskirts of zappa ridge yard in the south east of ukraine. charles, give us a sense of where you are and what's happening last 5 minutes. so. so peter, we were waiting at a checkpoint that you can just see in the distance behind me, i hope. and if there was an air strike close by, i'd say no, no further than 2 and a half kilometers away beyond the chip point. now we understand that sir, there are ukrainian positions there we, we believe that because this is the road that we traveled out of separation or towards dundee, per picture offs last night. and so large columns of ukrainian military that we

were setting up to try and defend certainly the road, inches, operational and further into denise pro. a lot of those soldiers we understand were fleeing the town of many to pull, which were, according to the brain, an army that we spoke to yesterday had fallen into russian control that is now being disputed. we understand potentially that that could be ongoing fighting there . but yes, situation have 10 minutes ago utsa panic. you can imagine a jet fighter pass very low overhead and a sudden obviously huge explosion. we can also see now what seems to be missile systems being set up in the hedge rose close to that checkpoint as well. so the situation here is to say very, very tense indeed. on our way to this checkpoint coming out of the perpetual

dinny pro. we saw trenches had been dug, look like civilian defense forces, setting up along with the army to defend bridge positions. and we've seen a lot of people coming out of i suffer asia this morning. as a site, the city is a huge significance, a huge importance. it has a massive hydro electric plant in it. so very important civilian infrastructure. and as i say, the soldiers that we met on the road coming in says operational last night were very nervous. they were setting up tank positions, malta positions. and we saw as a se surface to a chevy. so miss all position being set up. also, we are trying to get in his operational checkpoint here, security is very nervous about letting journalists through. and we also understand that there's ongoing fighting in various places in the east, further east along the separatist control lines,

hearing reports of fighting that has been happening in mary paul as well this morning. and there were reports last night of an amphibious, amphibious operation, russian amphibious operation between marian pole and to the west medical which is where as i say, there are reports of ongoing fighting despite the claim by the ukrainians yesterday that it had full control of the russians and we also know that there is fighting on going in the area of kent song, which is north of crimea signs that have been north of care san, the mayor of care san saying that some ukranian forties have pushed the, the russian policies back with an ad strike, but again, all very difficult to confirm the situation here as i say very, very tense indeed. and front lines becoming incredibly blood and fluid. charles, thank you very much child spot for that. that with the latest live on just on the

outskirts there up is apple ratio. okay, charlie, they actually start that highlighting what we're talking about here. i guess, trying to get a handle on big gray areas. what's going on where and when, how significant these areas are. let's drill down into that aspect of this conflict in easton and indeed all over ukraine. sarah is here with more. thanks a lot pizza. well, i have been monitoring a lot of the rush knox and see around and in care of in the last couple of days. and interestingly on friday, a lot of the intense fine thing was happening. just hey, this is north of kear, north of the capital of ukraine in areas like yvonne cove. now that's where there's a big bridge that crosses terra read river and ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed it to stem the the, the russian forces entering into kiev through the city of vish. go to now other areas of intensify thing where kids are blown district as well. but the situation has changed rapidly overnight and with that to missiles hits areas in the south

west of kids. so they're moving and not just in the north, also in the south west. and it's important to understand that one of those landed on a building near sikorsky international airport, also known as only on the pool. no one was killed in their adventure building, but other missiles also another missile rather hit an area close to set by so poll square, which is even close to the cities spencer. and that just gives you an idea. if we take a look here at the map, i just want to show you where the airport is and that's the other area that was hit as well as where the red dot is. and both of those places is so close to the $0.50 which is closer to the river. in fact, it's a 15 minute drive away. now that's also where a lot of the ministerial government buildings on. so you have, for example, that read the book called narada of ukraine. that's the parliament building. and there are other ministries. you have the ministry of health,

you have the center house of offices of the armed forces, as well as terrific areas, of course, like museums. now another area that's of interest has in this north of the center of the can. if you look further over there, you have an area called this noun, sky district. and in those areas, as, as new developments and last few hours were hydro electric plant, known as c h p 6. on the outskirts of care. there is a loss of fighting, fighting on friday. but your crane energy administer in the last few hours says night has full control. now it's significant because it's one of the most powerful combined heat and power stations in the country and i'll continue monitoring that and i'll be back to you throughout the day. sorry, yes, you will. thank you very much. well, we are slow. your rash is the youngest member of the ukrainian parliament. he says residents will defend their city from the russian forces. the reality is that the items are going off every other minutes. and you can hear the

shooting happening and lose her presence everywhere. i myself have spend most of the day trying to help organize trying to help mobilize, trying to help divide the weapons, told those who are willing to take them up to defend our capital. and i can say that pretty much every one i met in the capital with stayed here as expressed willingness to try and get those weapons and help out. and we see that very clearly today those incursion is key, where basically the attack was just crushed. exactly, because of taking weapons that were distributed basically when trucks arriving with all the guns you can imagine so that people can try and take them up and push on the russian raiders in every way they come from my country. this is a moment great. just test in its existence. so we need to handle that

test an asset to continue on building our state state future. did my father grandfather the great grandfathers were fighting for this channel? so we're dying for the show speed and the 2nd war in terms of a kremlin soviet experiments. and now it is all time to have the same test and we are going to we are going to, we're going to with dozens and dozens, perhaps hundreds, maybe even thousands of ukrainians. been trying to get into poland to escape the fighting out series in bas robbie. has this update from medicare on the border where the polish authorities are getting ready to receive more refugees. now we've seen scenes of people coming across with as much as they can carry. we've seen children in hysterics. we've seen families, cars full of families. people very frustrated and angry and unsure of what comes

next polish authorities. the polish government has mobilized an enormous amount of resources to help. the government here has announced help centers as well as medical facilities in the towns near the border. and the government has said that, so for an estimate of $20.00 to $30000.00 people have already crossed in the 2 days since the invasion of ukraine began. and what we're hearing from the government is they are preparing for as many as 1000000 to 4000000 people displaced by the fighting, to cross over from ukraine to poland in the coming days and weeks. and that may seem like a staggering number, but with reports from the mayor of that there is a chance of air strikes tonight and into 2 more a warnings to people in key to find safety to find cover. that number does seem to be realistic. and in some cases, the inevitable. the leaders have agreed to impose sanctions on russia,

but they have stopped short of blocking russia from the belgium based swift global financial into bank messaging system, dominic canes, in berlin. he says there are various faxes playing on the minds of those in charge of imposing sanctions. the body that will oversee the implementation of sanctions is the european central bank. and we know that on friday, christine lag out of the president of the e. c. b has said we will oversee it, we will implement whatever sanctions are brought in. but she's also said to the e. c. b has the responsibility to ensure stability inside the euro's own. and she pointed out that energy prices have been rising very considerably and that has caused consternation in many european capital saying that the price of gas has risen $6.00 times over the course of the past 12 months or so. and that the price of oil is 44 percent higher than some time ago. so all those factors are playing

out in the minds of the ministers and officials at e u level whose responsibility it will be to oversee and to implement whatever sanctions do emerge. remembering that's one thing that has been widely reported so far is that the e u is very actively considering bringing in personalized sanctions against foreign minister. love rav and president putin, which would mean freezing their assets. ok, let's wrap up this 45 minutes of our continuing coverage. we will back of course with more for you after the break with the latest pictures. like coming to us via the reuters news agency. what you're looking at there may not look like very much, but that is one of the key border crossing points between western ukraine and eastern south eastern poland. the polish deputy interior minister saying that since 7 am get this vegas and 7 a. m, on saturday,

9000 people have entered poland from ukraine. the same minister saying, however, since the start of the conflict in ukraine, so this is just barely through halfway through day 3100000 people have entered poland from ukraine. could this be the beginning of another european refugee crisis? yes, it probably could be because those 100000 people, they need to be fed, they need to be looked after. they need to be, have access to medical treatment if needs be. we're talking about a refugee crisis, i guess, again, a wave people trying to get away from what they think is just imminently about to happen and is the carrying on happening in their homeland ukraine across the border as let me put in carries on with his invasion of eastern ukraine from the east, from the north and from the south from the border area in bella, luce and also from crimea. more on all of that. when we come back

the. busy stories of life and inspiration a series of should document trees from around the world. that's kind of break the human spirit against the odds. busy ah, there is a lack, hunted from international politics to the global pandemic, and everything in between. it did not respect poor people and your our planet promised to ensure the safety of women. what happened? this justice system got pulled back, that people actually have more feel. why is the u. k. feel hostile to play in?

the big 3 year old of us join me if i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction. hardly get up front on al jazeera. ah ah, the me. it's $1151.00 in the city at the heart of our top story. our own story today here, own out explosions have been heard in part so as russian forces continue their invasion, a residential power came under attack in here. so begins have been pulled from the rubble. there are no reports of any deaths from that one particular missiles. and other convoy of russian trucks is crossing the border into ukraine. moscow sending

reinforcements as fighting escalates. troops being closing in on kia since friday. ukrainian president remains defiance in another video message to his people. he promised fight on keith says 198 people have been killed since the assault began. 900 people had been arrested as an anti war protests and the russian city of saint petersburg. yeah. scuffles broke out when the police moved in to break up. the demonstration entertained one of the protesters on thursday. officers arrested more than 1700 people taking part in similar rallies all across russia. moscow says it's partially restricting access to facebook because it's censoring russian media. the kremlin communications regulator says the u. s. social media platform has ignored its demands to live restrictions on for domestic media outlets. there have been protests against the attack on ukraine being held in australia and new zealand to some of those at

a rally in sydney, a family in here who hiding in bomb shelters. a similar rally was held in christ church and new zealand, where the demonstrators chanted, stop, put him. and in taiwan, protest has gathered outside the russian representatives office in, ty, pay, chanting glory to ukraine, a russian students who attended the round that they were close. ashamed of the occupation, some they hoped ukraine would be freed. well, the conflicts in ukraine means millions might have to pay more for bread. weak prices have jumped to a 13 year high with investors worried about supply disruptions. about 30 percent of global wheat exports are supplied by ukraine and russia. ukraine says 90 cents 95 percent of its grain through the black sea, but as ports of now come under attack. in 2020, more than 50 percent of ukraine suite exports went to countries across them. at least half of lebanon's and 43 percent of libya, suite imports from ukraine. egypt is the world's biggest importer of wheat. alex

smith is a food and agriculture analyst with the breakthrough institute. she says those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflicts in ukraine goes on for the credit is one of the most important producers in the world as the program. ukraine is the 3rd largest we coordinate in the world, and we explore and their, their lead especially goes to a lot of lower and middle in some countries around the world. and especially in the middle east. well bred prices make it sort of the bulk of the sort of meet prices and prices of other products that depend on those commodities, crops, or for production are going to be impacted and going back to the air spring. i think it's, it's a fairly sort of common assertion that bread prices in general food was the main driver of that sort of political instability. and so you can see political

instability, you can see food security and you know, in the worst case hunger and right. it really is dependent on, you know, the extent of this crisis and how long the rushing will last and how long there can be disruptions. that's when we really see sort of a or the invasion of ukraine impacting sports in one of the most high profile examples. perhaps football's champions league has been moved to paris from st. petersburg. is peter stem. it the champions league final is one of the biggest events on the global sporting calendar hosting the match brings prestige and tourism among the benefits. paris will now host the seasons. final of the st. petersburg was stripped of the honor by european footballs, governing body. you wafer, they've also decided russian and ukrainian club and national teens, or to play home games at neutral venues. fifo, we'll have to decide whether or not russia's will come playoff in moscow next month

against poland. will go ahead, as planned, fif a, has already spoken out against the conflict. fever expresses hope for a rapid cessation of hostilities and for peace. in ukraine. differ condemns as well. the use of force by russia and ukraine, and any type of violence to resolve conflicts. meanwhile manchester, united of cancel their tenure sponsorship deal with russia's national airline aero flood. the airline had been united's official carriers since 2013, and the deal was thought to be worth more than $53000000.00. football is not the only sport taking action formula. one has cancelled this seasons. russian grand prix. the race was due to be held on september 25th in saatchi. if on drivers of backing the decision to boycott, russia, like everyone said, you know,

innocent people losing their lives, you know, people losing their homes and, and families and don tough, safe places to, to live in. it's not right, booked on all week and hope that everything gets resolved in the best possible outcome and, and way that is, that is possible. and for now, i think is the right decision by form one not to go to russia. but ukraine has also been hit. the national basketball teams home match in cave against spain has had to be postponed russian tennis star. and they rube live made clear his views on the matter after when in dubai, on friday. but unless there is a swift end to the conflict, more sporting events are likely to be postponed, cancelled or moved to neutral venues pita, same it al jazeera hassam is here from san g. was the very latest as it happens, minutes, minutes, hour to hour. here on al jazeera, the very latest for you is that the fighting has started again in the skies above
