mine ah, with my nigeria on al jazeera ah 2. ready this is al jazeera, ah, how long has i'm seeking? seeka, this is the news i live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. fighting reaches the streets of the ukrainian capital kiev, as russia continued its invasion. in a new video message, president water damage the landscape, says the ukrainian army will not surrender thousands of ukrainian slee across the

border into northern romania as the russian attack intensified. russia vetoes the un security council resolution deploring aggression in ukraine. china abstains from voters. ah, our entering the 3rd day of russia's land, sea and air invasion of ukraine rushing troops closing in on the capital. where the streets of virtually empty over i kia was rocked by a series of explosions and gunfire. french president emanuel macro is warning the war will continue for the foreseeable future. is the latest developments on the ground that we know. an apartment building came under attack in ukraine's capital civilians being pulled from the rubble. their key of mass says 35 people, including children, were injured in the missile strike. another large convoy of russian trucks has

crossed the border into ukraine. moscow sending more supplies, as the fighting continues. but ukraine's president remains defiance in another video message to his citizens. he's promised to fight back him or uncle. great. good morning ukrainians. there has been a loss of fake information online saying that i'm calling on our army to lay down arms and to evacuate. listen, i am here. we will not lay down any weapons. we will defend our state because our weapon is our truth. and the truth is that this is our land, our country, and our children are. and we will defend all of that. that's all i wanted to tell you. glory to ukraine or message from the cleaning president, our andrew simmons is in care force where there's heavy shelling and fighting. we've been hearing and sometimes seeing some smoke rising. but basically some

shelling has been going on. we had a wailing siren from a distance and there's been some small arms fire, quite close. i don't think the 2 connected the small arms fire from it feels like was certainly less than a kilometer. and then the shelling quite heavy for a short while. nothing right now. we think that to the north of the city, i'm looking over here now at the bridge, the 2 main bridges on the main north, not serial routes. and that's very quiet. nothing going on there whatsoever. those bridges are the ones where you see you've been seeing images of, of reserve is lying on their stomachs with rifles extended intent on defending it, no matter what. so basically i will keep you posted as we're live and obviously through the program on just exactly what's happening. but the feeling is that, that the, the frenzy of, of fire from the sky miss isles, relentlessly,

in various areas of the city, particularly in the west, where an armored column was actually repelled by ukrainian forces. using missiles showed amounts of missiles hitting tanks, they withdrew. but there is still apparently going to be resistance there. when we do know that is an area called barriers steiger where there is a metro station that is about no more than about 7 kilometers away. also to the north and north west. a lot of fighting the columns tanks, personnel carriers missile launches being used in various parts are peeling off. and there is a, there are various reports about the columns, intent on encircling the city. and then some reports that they are in on going full in some parts of the of the columns. but we've heard from the defense

ministry that as far as the center of the city is concerned, it is untouched. although the have been some hits on some areas but, but where we are now, it is the, it is effectively in the storm. there is, there is some, there is some safety being here at the moment or the office, the during the cruise missile strikes. and so on and so forth. not a safe place to be as far as civilians are concerned, the sort of conversations that are going on now. how to get out is it too late? how far down can we get in terms of shelters, metro stations of the deepest shelters of all and probably the safest but the chaos dick and very little food as a food people have managed to get from places supplies of running out or round a feel we've a water in some parts and a mood of distill panic. really, i mean it's,

there is also an anger and a resolve which we're sure to call us is that intertwine. and the thing is that this is not just a fight for life. it's a fight for the life of the nation for the life of independence. we are covering the story from all the angles here. let's get the view from russian outdoor sa jabari is life for us in moscow is door. so what more we heard from russian officials at this point? well, we heard from the defense ministry spokesperson earlier this morning, who gave his usual daily briefing about where he stood with the russian army, the spokesperson said that the russian army has managed to destroy over 820 of military installations in ukraine since they started their military campaign on thursday, and he also stressed that they haven't been targeting civilian areas. the spokesperson also said that the russian army is now in full control of the city of mel. it's

hopeful that's midsize city of about 150000 people near day is off see between crimea and the key port, city of mary opal. let's hear some more of what he had to say. but there isn't any room here with the russian armed forces. i've taken full control over the city of military, all the russians. those men are taking army, just provide security to the civilian population and eliminate provocations from the clean and secret service of the nationalist. during the night, the armed forces of the russian federation struck ukrainian retreat facilities with hi, this is in reference of long distance syringe using cruise size. i want to emphasize one more time that we only fired limited to facilities of the armed forces or to train. thus eliminating the chance of damaging houses and social infrastructure. i don't, that's the, the reaction from the, from the russian government side. but what's, what, what have you been getting from ordinary russian is that you've been speaking to their and their reaction to the scale of this attack,

the russia is conducting and you claim right now, well, i think initially there was shock had. now there is anger, many of the people i've spoken to say, they don't understand why the russian military has launched this full scale invasion of the entire country from various different sides. when this was announced to be a special military operation by president vladimir putin at people were behind near there. so they understood that the fighting that has been ongoing in the dumbass region for the past 8 years is something that needs to be addressed. even one of the m p 's that voted for that bill that went through parliament on tuesday. he has tweeted, over the past 24 hours, are saying that he doesn't understand how this has happened. i'm just gonna read you some of his tweet. he said, this worship stop immediately, a voting for the recognition of the don monasco, the hunks region i voted for peace, not war for russia to become a shield,

so that dumbass is not bombs, and not for key of to be bombed. we also have been hearing from a number of highly high profile journalists and, and figures in russian society who have criticize this decision. and the government's really for not being clear about what their aim is and from the beginning of the general sense is nobody really understands why vladimir putin has decided to do this. many of the people here have relatives in ukraine. people have spoken to, they say they don't really know what to tell them when they speak to them on the phone. if they can get a hold of them on the phone at this stage there. and they consider the 2 cultures very close and very well into connected with each other so they don't understand why they will be fighting with each other. i think there's a sense that this is rudy completely out of control now. and we've been seeing people protesting their opposition to this on the streets of st. petersburg for the

past 2 nights. and on thursday nights, people were protesting here in moscow and over 1800 people have now been arrested because demonstrations here are illegal. so really, people are very desperate to make it clear to the government that they're not happy with their decision doors. so thank you dawson, to buy life for us in moscow. let's turn now to washington where my can i is standing by for. so mike, we just heard from the ukranian president just few moments ago, expressing solidarity with his people and urging them to fight on. we understand the americans offered him the evacuation for the country, but he made it very clear that that is just not an option for him. well, the speculation in the us media that that was the offer made however, there's no clarity that that was in fact the case. what we do know is that and ministration official said that they were discussing with president lensky, the place in which he would be most safe to ensure

a continuance of government. back on thursday, the white house press secretary was off the about us actions in terms of guaranteeing president lens. he's personal safety. now on the was that there's continue discussions in terms of how best the u. s. can support the president and the country as a whole, and she didn't want to discuss anything further sighting security concern. so the whole question is opened. clearly, there have been discussions between us officials and probably president biden, with president lensky about where he could be most safe. the us giving him advice on that one must remember too, that a lot of european nations have also been expressing concerns about precedence. lensky is well being and have offered him ways out, should he desire to do so? but as he's heard, the ukrainian president making very clear that he's not going anywhere. and what more we had about further assistance to,

to ukraine from the us. well, president biden has instructed the secretary of state in the course of the evening to release another $350000000.00 for. busy military assistance to ukraine. now this is in terms of the foreign services act, which means that the president doesn't have to get congressional support. there has been some $650000000.00 paid from 2021 to date. this is now an additional amount. now, most of this money has gone into training. however, this particular tranche is also directed to produce some military hardware, not specified, but it is believed to be items like jeff the missiles, but here you have another problem, has them. the secretary of defense in recent days has said that the logistics of giving this type of military assistance you claim very problematic at present. he

said, for example, that military training would, may have to be done remotely. he said, getting actual military hardware into ukraine to get it on the ground. very, very difficult task, giving what is happening in the country at present. but then on another track, you have congress which is discussing a $6500000000.00 humanitarian relief bill that they will be discussing in days ahead. so that 2 elements here coming from the u. s. one is that the presidential decision to wretched up the he met a create the $350000000.00, and then you've got congress discussing a humanitarian aid package amounting to some $6500000000.00 mike hannah in washington. thanks, mike. now let's say haron is a political analyst and professor of comparative politics, a key of where he like adam. he joins us now from the ukrainian capital. thanks so much for being. we're this good to talk to you. i want to ask you, 1st of all,

before we get into the analysis of all of this, just talk us through, if you can, what the situation is in the ukrainian capital right now. all these things are, things are very volatile. obviously just tell us what you've been, what you've been seeing and hearing it. yes. so this life was very difficult because russia sent but troopers and to day version it's groups. they tried to. i'm trying to see some old jets and keith, but they were destroyed. so. ready at this point, as far as and spam, or no street fights in keith. so russian, russian soldiers were still so zara battles around to see the because the russians are prior to also we're trying to get it to what not far from you, but again,

it's free. so look, i gave you 2 days ago, the 1st day a ration that question and in the view to indent t v. and they were saying key is on circle invasion. almost gleick key is next to come to come on. no. at this point 03500 ration sold, just cute ration. never software such such losses since it, it became since solution of the soviet union never ever. so it's very dark for us. army actually graham assorted, this applied to the red cross today, exist corpses of russian soldiers to russia. franklin speaking, russia, look here, put

a little note here of the lives of his soldiers. so the numbers which russia is losing are very, very high. ukrainian numbers are much lower. why? because of he own defense. so, and definitely when they try to it that they have huge, huge losses. one of the problem is that russia continuous to, to shell ukrainian city, see this? so 00 teal, and monk among civilians including children. as of now know ukrainian that each city, i mean, the regional centers east. how is under a russian russian control. there are very difficult fights on the streets of suing, which is a regional center, very cool slit to russian border was russia. but it's not sarah. so again,

let me have been the, let me repeat again. so no regional sand as of now is on the rational control. so that's very important as a deal for you and was look, i've been but a key and all the ukraine and ukrainian government collapse and young soldiers would not find vice versa. ukrainians of very, very unite yesterday. $11000.00 volunteers only in t, you've received arms to defend t if so basically we have the army, we have the national guard, their total defense. but besides that with tears who are pain page in arms. so the number's, the number is incredible and the lines for volunteers to get me

to get to get their alliance throughout ukraine to military departments, to be enrolled and to take arms. so infant could have the bo, there's credible feet feeling of solid day. unfortunately, civilians suffered because the vase is they had to spend the night in the bomb cells. my daughter spent the night in the bombshell and now all say going to go to the bone shelf. so definitely for those, why was children for elders it's very, very difficult. difficult, but resist. yeah, we've, we've heard many stories of people picking up the weapons. people being asked, people would without much military experience or experience handling. guns being asked to pick up weapons to defend the country at any cost. so if you don't mind me

asking you what, what would you do in that situation? what would you, your advice be to people there because short of boots on the ground from outside ukraine? would that be enough to take on the russian army again, what we demand from. so this actually, russia has huge advantage is in there in the air. and we've been mom to install no, no fly zone in the ukraine from so best or or give us the mouth and they and they hold to save em to, i'm sorry, i'm very tired, exhausted after this. no, that's perfect. yeah, i mean, so system. so to our understand my understanding it's coming to your brain. so

basically our defense works well i, i believe it was around 1616 russian military plains, which were shot down yesterday. playing with air blowing through was shut down. we do not know how many people wears, rational soldiers there, but it was shut down. so we have successes even to him. but we need strong support . strong support, continuation of support from us. what we need now is also a fuel, because a lot of fuel came from bellows. and now brush razor back industrial, bella, russian bill rash. and so for you to understand one of the huge problems which arrows simply is that russia to control all the bellows and install is

there and from bell. this is the closest way to, to keys. it's around 150 kilometers if i'm not mistaken, but something like that. so this is the most dangerous because they attack in gus from below. and that's why we have these very intensive fighting to the north of our, our capital. by the way, i least as the north cheese, so i am very, very close the front line here explosions. but at the same time i see so the, so we're all around this city alexi heron. i appreciate you talking to us. we'll let you hopefully get some rest. thanks very much for your time. so in the un security council failed to adopt a resolution condemning the russian military action in ukraine. russia vetoed the

votes that would have confirmed the sovereignty of ukraine and demanded russia immediately withdraw its forces. she had returned to report as president of the security council had held russia to list the un member states who co sponsored the resolution opposing its use of force against ukraine and calling for an unconditional withdrawal. but so on and the angry with him ali, the resolution did gained the support of 11 members of the council with china, india, and the united arab emirates abstaining. as expected, russia used its veto power, russia, you can veto this resolution, but you cannot veto our voices. you cannot veto the truth. you cannot veto our principles. you cannot veto the ukrainian people. the russian basset accounted that the resolution was imbalanced for not mentioning the shelling of don bounced by the ukrainian government,

nor the failure by kiev and the west to implement the 2015 piece deal. and he added this. now, i'm going to go to the new, the new start, the new i will refrain from listening out the aggressions carried out by the united states in their history. but you are in no position to moralize. the u. s. succeeded in avoiding a chinese veto with its final version of the resolution. but beijing, once again agreed with russia that the crisis had developed over time as a result of nato's disregard for russia, security and caution. the security council taking any action should be truly conducive to defusing the crisis rather than adding fuel to the fire. ukrainian ambassador accused his russian counterpart of having no idea what was in vladimir putin's mind. but he did reaffirm ukraine's commitment and negotiations, even as he despaired for the safety of his people. and i will ask all of you to pray automated date if you do not believe in god

for peace. it's expected that a similar but non binding resolution will be introduced at a special session of the united nations general assembly, where russia does not have the veto. already. it appears to have the support of more than 80 of the us 193 member states she ever time. see al jazeera, the united nations. what you want us now from moscow as alexander petoskey, senior russia analyst, thanks so much for being with us. so you'll view, 1st of all on, on, on what's been happening in ukraine over the last few hours. well it's, it's actually a shelling all the city that reminds me very much that i would agree with him about your benzo, the russian busters is the operation of the united states against you. best love it, to boots himself in issues of mr. clinton. i mr. bush major or resolved any resolution, some security council,

and you can even start defending that whole left. that's also clear message and it's very set the russian. so just keep end of forces by in combat. the people in the speaking the same language are slightly brothers as they used to be the business just emotional, think from coming from us, but literally cries them who is sending very conflict messages. he has said that he's often for dialogue after present, zaleski is all for it. and then he said he doesn't want to talk to the bench of math in brack users. that's a very bizarre question. that's a very bizarre language or political leader of the great country as russia still east, possibly. so i didn't miss if occasion of the brain what it doesn't mean is that mr salons, hitler or some of his brawny saw art of their kid there on to rush, which of course no to saw either it's going to go. she will be for in we'll come in about a couple of days. this will be a very, very bad situation and will actually go for a bad situation with or let's say hijack why. which is also

is a, your assessment that the russians would be willing to pay the cost of this operation . the longer it goes on in the morning costs in, in russian lives in damage to the economy there. it's absolutely, i mean i'm sitting here in a very nice cup there in downtown moscow, people are shopping, security officers are looking for shoplifters, just business as usual. people making copies of his somewhere and people are buying for our field. this is ordinary life in ordinary city, what people are already talking that the heart, the life would be hard, especially already hard or economy because of coffee and so on. and so some people actually are saying that they approve the premiums in putting your brain in flags, which may not the good thing because it's devises society. but many russian civil those will support. we do not justify his actions. i have many friends for hardline goodness, and they say this is not a pretext,

even the fighting wasn't done. bus even your grade has at that on bus. you should use other means other means diplomacy, un un peacekeepers. but to adela to attack, this will be, you know, iran, iraq war might actually have something like this. i mean, forces are strong. they are knowing this is the russians. because many brain officers know the rush. exactly, because probably they were the se in, during the soviet union. so some things have changed by many things are remaining the same. so yes, economy costs will be, will be beat. it was the western sanctions. but you know what? i talked to a friend of mine and economy is very respect that school. he said, not only economy, but also moral. cough. you also see the football championship is canceled in some bitter sport. oh, rub the misconduct, valerie yard yagi of a very talented man, but also such food was water was banned from new york, carnegie hall. so this is also more about musicians will not come sign just will

not be able to come. some people in the was, are focused conference will be denied whatever circus artists will not be performing. russia, my tune into something like enough for you. and i never wanted to just pay for my own country, which i love as a picture of a rush as an analyst. i believe things like this minor. i'm just putting your analysts keeping your analysts head on for now. and i appreciate that it is difficult to try to get inside a somebody's hand. but what do you think is, is putins objective here? is he, does he want to take out the, the zalinski government and replace it with a government, a small compliance? it's a him or is it a case of i just sort of, i made my points and then and then move out at some point. what will, what do you think is the plan here? we will wait and see if in today's instance, we'll start with mr. zalinski and maybe with dignity. we will of raj, let's say a neutral status for your grade. keeping certain territories as don boss,

whatever on the rush you control, but lead in the rest in your gradient piece. this will be at least something, something realistic by bringing a government from, let's say moscow or whatever, or people russia, whatever, separate or russian, you paying politicians, including those government will definitely will not make. these will not make things better. that people done a revoke against them. wootton is now clearly addressing their officers in the you may not be saying like they take arms against them. they it not to do that, but we all know that people are railing behind the president in the time of attack . so i don't think so a to in today's negations will start on the day, if not in today's, the negotiate negotiable, not starting today. can go other well, yes, so, but it is the date, there might be still thought and there are some positive signs. if mr. zalinski and mr. cook, you know, whatever represented us on the fly, a level we'll talk maybe at this war because this getting to be really dangerous

with him. so as a political leader whose political life is probably in the, in the year at appreciate your perspective, alexander petoskey in moscow. thank you for your time. i time for a quick break now, but still ahead on a global wheat price is a conflict with disrupt supply from major export is ukraine and russia ah well, still the north atlantic. stormy weather is a long way north as a long streak of white cloud. but the sentry told a windy weather is up near ice, and this is all now settled further south into northern europe. otherwise, there is a developing storm system tis that really cause the strength of the wind over the

age re attic. so here's the picture then for saturday, rain edging in with strengthening winds into ireland. otherwise enjoy the sunshine still so cold enough, the snow shall in 12 places. and he is the wraparound storm system, which is giving quite significant snow to some parts of italy and strong winds on the croatian coast again and still we got a few showers where they wanted in drought written parts of spain and even portugal than sarajevo. the code as really settled in there, so it's a couple of day, saturday and sunday of overcast, cold weather. not particularly windy, not in land, it is on the coast. and then on monday the sun shows itself once more. so a bit of a focus on this, and here's the wind, is that it's not seasonal when it comes down and really causes potential damage on the coast to croatia, whips around the big circulation, snow and rain, both the italy for bulgaria. and of course the turkeys fact, the picture for turkey, but i get to monday is distinctly wintry. ah,

the frank assessments for china will benefit from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs. i'm not ready for that statement. critical debate. why group would claims that nato constitutes an interesting chill threat to russia, but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. when the news breaks, the timeline says that if the united states were to impose sanctions on present employment, it will be comparable to severing ties with russia. and the story builds, we want to find out more about how offers are being taken from the wild and sole. with exclusive interviews, an in depth reports al jazeera has teens on the ground. there hasn't been

a train running by for almost 2 decades to bring you more award winning documentaries and live nice. oh a hello again. we are into the 3rd day of russia's war in ukraine, russian troops closing in on the capital. the street actually empty. the ban explosions and gunfire of nights and into saturday. the french president emanuel croft is warning the war will continue for the future. the latest development and apartment building came under attack in ukraine's capital. civilians were pulled from the rubble. he meant that $35.00 people, including children, were injured in the midst of the strike. another large convoy of rushing foxes,

crossing the border into crane. moscow is sending more supplies and fighting contin . ukraine's president remains defiant in another video message, days, citizens. he's promised to fight back correspond, charles strafford has more from south east and ukraine. we were waiting at a check point. you can just see that this is behind me. i hope. and there was a strike close by. i'd say no, no further than 2 and a half kilometers away. beyond the check point. now we understand that all ukrainian positions then we, we believe that because this is the road that we traveled out of separation. so it was in the pro picture of last night and so large columns of ukrainian military that we were setting up to try and different defense. certainly the road into

operation and further into the need for a lot of those soldiers we understand were fleeing the town of many suppose which according to the grant, an army that we spoke to yesterday had fallen into russian control. that is now being disputed. we understand that that could be ongoing biting there, but yeah, and situation here, 10 minutes ago off panic. you can imagine a jet fighter passed very low overhead and a sudden obviously huge explosion. we can also see now what seems to be miss. all systems being set up in the hedgerows close to that checkpoint as well or the you and says 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. many in the capital key of i've been crowding into train and metro stations. they're either trying to leave the city or seeking shelter below ground. alexey o'brien reports.

2 tail, cynthia is thousands. johnson with the train station desperate to leave, the ukrainian capital soldiers reportedly fired into the air to disperse the crowd . so again, with holmes, the throng we've been trying to leave all day from the morning here. but as you can see, that's unrealistic, like russian troops are edging closer with explosions. heard around the city earlier this apartment block with his 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. are 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 hungry, hoping it won't be too long before they can return. right 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 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. i think you can have her thinking crania national anthem, and she flew her after the attack of what they were gonna despite the devastation, an air of defiance remains. alexia brian al jazeera, was able to drive me join me now from east in poland by the ukrainian border. and zane, we know a lot of ukrainian solve the last couple of days, have been into attempting to leave and getting to neighboring countries. tell us what you are seeing and hearing there now. well that's him. we've seen people

crossing by car crossing, but many people that are coming in from across the border, the river coming to the town of sla, by a train on here in front of the train station. and inside we've been seeing people coming in the family, mostly young women, the elderly, mostly often stay behind. and most of the people who have been coming in are young women. now the government here in poland says, estimated 100000 people a by this morning have crossed over. now that's a jump of almost $70000.00 to the total county since last night, which gives you sense of how quickly things are changing on the ground inside ukraine. that is a large number and the government here is expecting more speaking to the people inside. one of the things our team found most interesting, perhaps disturbing, is many of the young women that are here with children were forced to leave their partners, their husbands behind, who were going to be recruiting, conscripted into the printed army to help, to push back the rush the invasion to help continue to fight off the russian

invasion. but one of the most disturbing things, perhaps they were saying is that t of what's happening and that is for many here foregone conclusion. they think it's only a matter of time until the capital fault and they think towns like live where they came in from via train are bound to be next. yeah, certainly as a desperate situation for so many ukrainians, there is a attempt to, to lead to a safe place as amos raleigh lifers there by the ukraine. poland 40 let's bring in cut, alina lind, home billing. she is the united nations high commissioner for refugees representative in ukraine and join us live now from kia. thank you for being with us. so talk us through the, the situation there as far as internally displaced to people in ukraine. well, as we heard on the, on the previous report, there are people now fleeing from eastern ukraine, from southern, from northern ukraine towards the centre and west of the country. and it's very

difficult to now haven't, you know, evidence of how many people have been internally displaced. but we estimate that at least 160000, but people are on the road on trains, on, on private cars. and one of the main pools that are coming to the hope line that are in you is manning is request for evacuation from areas that are no longer safe . and what are you calling on right now in terms of assistance? what is, what is the greatest need for you right now? well, what, what the people are calling for the local authorities. we are in contact with them have worked with for many years because there has been a, a crisis ukraine to 20. 1415 is immediate help with the reception basic assistance blankets, mattress says who the been but reception capacity so that those on the moon, those fleeing there they are in search of safety can be received and received some

initial protection at least at this time. i know you, you were saying earlier that it's difficult to, to sort of get an idea of the numbers at this point in terms of the enormity of the situation. but the longer this goes on, do you fear that the situation could continue to get worse and more people will become displaced within ukraine? yes, i mean, this is just the beginning and, and it said of an enormous scale. and again, it's adding to an already existing idp situation, where about a 1000000 ukrainians were internally displaced already since 20142015 the humanitarian needs and the, and the human suffering is, is already seen. and it's going to be enormous. one of the biggest challenges that we are having right now is to reach people who need to be,

are in contact with i dp, community groups we worked with with local authorities in western eastern ukraine who are starting to receive people coming and are asking for support we have managed to yesterday, after hours of negotiation, get a truck with some basic relief items to leave it each one of these centers to start building up and supporting reception facilities. but in this context to and deliver and support people in meet when the security situation for the staff is so challenging, that's one of our, our biggest difficulties. so ensuring safety of humanitarian workers. we can help the people who are fleeing and he needs that's critical. and what about a team of communication and coordination? how much of a challenge is that been uh for you, given the by fluid situation? are there right now with, with communication? well, for some of our teams, we still have colleagues in our office is in east ukraine in mighty upon several

don't. yes, we have tv. and many of them are spending large part of the time in bomb shelters in bunkers because of the, the rates and the fighting going on. so this is a force challenging and also reaching the same with colleagues in key of many have spent the whole night in bomb shelters and, and have to run up and down as the sirens school. but we have set up different system so we can maintain that communication. and our priority is to try and find a way where we can as soon as possible, you know, operate and deliver life saving humanitarian assistance in a way that doesn't threaten the life of our colleagues. and they'd appreciate talking to us katalina, linton billing from the you and hcr there. thank let's get a closer look now at where some of the latest fighting has been happening in and

around kia with the sod heights. well, thanks very much. we've been monitoring a lot of the russian activity around and in care of the last couple of days. and interestingly, on friday, a lot of the intent fighting that was happening with further north to the capitol. like in areas up here. if you can see the red dot, the, it's called event called. so the area of that is where there's a big bridge that crosses tara river river. now ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed it to stop. the russian forces from advanced on financing on care through the city of they should go to other areas of intent fighting rule. so an area called oblong districts, and that was within the north of the kiev. however, the situation has changed rapidly overnight. and we've seen 2 missiles hitting areas in the south, west of kids to where they were up in the north. now we're starting to see activity further to the southwest. if you take a look at this, not just behind me, you'll see this area here. that's the international puts us across sky

international airports of kevin, that's right next to where one of the missiles landed on a residential building. no one was killed, but the other missile also hits an area close to 7. so post square, which is even closer to the city center. and if i show you how close we're talking, you take a look at the map there. now that's a square that we were just mentioning. that's the red dog there. and if you go all the way across, that's a 15 minute drive to the city center, and that's just the next to the river. and also to just show you the proximity of why this is important. if you take a look behind me here, you've got the, the red thought they ever come out of ukraine. that's ukraine, parliament building. and there are also other ministries in the area, how the health ministry also within the vicinity, as well as the central house of the offices of the armed forces. so a really important dietrich area. and as we see the russians all closing in on that area. now another development in the last few hours is also that there was face

fighting of a hydro electric plant in the north eastern area. and i'll show you on the pe, you have central here somewhere around this area is a hydro appointments, incredibly important for ukraine's power in terms of water and electricity. now it's energy minister says it's now in control of this combined heat and power station bobby back. and i'll be looking through all these later development throughout the day. and i'll be updating you and showing you what it looks like exactly on the map. i sorry, much sought a hi. there been a protest against the attack on ukraine in australia, new zealand. some of those at a rally in sydney, a family in kiev who are hiding in bomb shelters in new zealand demonstrates as chanted stop, who to protest this had been gathering in new york as well. anti war demonstrations held in times square and close to the russian federations mission,

to the un. hundreds of people show their support for ukraine and demanded an end to fighting conservative republicans in the u. s. on gathering in florida for the conservative political action conference, the meeting began on thursday the day of the most recent russian invasion of ukraine. and that assault has been a primary topic of conversation john henry reports of from orlando. the conservative political action conference is one part political carnival ah, one part serious policy discussion. and with russia now invading ukraine, u. s. policy on that conflict took center stage no matter where you stand on this ukraine, russia situation. what we should have done beforehand, what we should do now, the one thing i think everyone can agree upon is that the people of ukraine are inspiring to the world. for many republicans, it's also

a chance to bash president joe biden, mike pompei out the republican secretary of state under president donald trump said his old boss would have handled it better, added we prevail, it was peace through strength. it was regan's model. it was the model that we used for for years in the tropic ministration. we put america 1st and we tall people around the world. you cannot tread on us, the former president impeachment overcharges he would held nearly $400000000.00 and military aid to ukraine. was not mentioned since 1974. the conservative political action conference has been home to die hard conservatives mostly foreign policy hawks that changed under president donald trump, who had a more non interventional is policy and a notoriously close relationship with vladimir putin batch. why a lot of people here say the invasion of ukraine would not have happened under trump. i think that it would have been different because he had a better understanding of how to communicate with ben and let him understand that we as the united states are the lead, the world's leading power. and that we would not accept such bad actors that you'd

refer to have president trump dealing with it. yes. 100000 percent. because it's leadership. trump won't be here to put his own spin on it until late saturday. but reminders of the 45th president are everywhere here, where in the minds of many attendees, he is still president. john henderson, al jazeera orlando, florida of the conflict in ukraine means millions might have to pay more for bread . we prices of jumped to a 13 year high with investors, worried about supply disruptions about 30 percent of global we exports are supplied by ukraine and russia. ukraine. sens 95 percent of its grain through the black sea, but it is ports have now come under attack. in 2020 more than 50 percent of ukraine's we exports went to countries in the middle east, half of lebanon's and 43 percent. libby, as we import off from ukraine,

egypt is the world's largest importer of weak. alex smith is a food and agriculture analyst with the brakes from interest institute. he says, those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflict in ukraine continues to create. one of the most important air filter producers in the world. the product program, ukraine is the 3rd largest corner from the world and we explore. and there, there especially goes to a lot of lower middle in some countries around the world. and especially in the middle east, well bred prices make it sort of the bulk of the meat prices and prices of other products that depend on those commodity crops or for production are going to be impacted in going back to air spring. i think it's, it's a fairly sort of common assertion that bread prices and price general food was the

main driver of this sort of political instability. and so you can see political instability, you can see food insecurity and you know, in the worst case hunger and right. it really is dependent on 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 the situation in ukraine has led poland, the national football team to make a big decision, his gemma, with moral not in school. yes, that's right. the country is refusing to play russia in a wildcard for payoff next month. the president of the polish f a says it is the only right decision. the sides would you to play in moscow? well, let's get more on this now with the associated press. correspondent, rob harris. robert big move by poland. what next? yeah, the next move that way. can come from fee for it's a big call for them to may do they throw russia out of the well come into the semi

finals in the playoffs? the qualifying, all that i stand by, poland, poland had already said he didn't want to play this game in moscow in a month time. that request came in the other day to faith that we hadn't heard a response. and now they ratchet things up. today the request thing, actually they're indicating they all refusing to play russia at all, regardless of the location. and we've even heard from poland biggest star, robert levon, dusky, who said that i can't imagine playing the russian national team in a situation where armed aggression in ukraine continues. so it makes clear that the russian players and the fans aren't responsible for their spot. he does not feel that they should be playing russia at this moment. so a big cold for fee for, for johnny and see, you know, today, johnny 15, someone who received the order of friendship meadow from russian president vladimir peyton. after the 2018 woke up in russia, rob, there's been lots of talk about chelsea's, the russian at raymond brockovich this week is his ownership of the club,

realistically at risk. while it would all hinge off their any sanctions imposed on him by the british government. and there's been no indication yet that he's coming above which has i chelsea since 2003 pounds more than one and a half $1000000000.00 into the club, transforming them into currently european and world champions. but he doesn't currently have a british visa. he withdrew his application to renew it 4 years ago that was after the poisonings of a former russian spy in england. and there was a clamped down on russians looming from the british government. so there's questions being raised in the british parliament this week. it still be owning chelsea, but as things stand now there's no sanctions against him, but the manager thomas too, who has been reflecting this week on the uncertainty it just puts on the club and just looking at that's the repercussions for chelsea. what about school as a whole, how far could this potentially go? well, that was

a huge and lee significant announcement from the international olympic committee on friday, saying that no international sports federations to be holding event in russia. or bela bruce, which has been used to the stage and ground for some of those russian attacks on ukraine. and we really have such forceful language from the i o. c. as it stands. now, that we've got tennis events of being taken out of russia. and we've had swimming events on juice be that now we've got the formula one race which will not take place as things stand insult she in september, the thing is impossible to rise. and of course, the big decision that came on friday, you for taking the champions league final austin petersburg and staging it in paris at the start of france in may. and this just looks like the style of sports are coming under pressure to take their events out of russia, an athlete, and not wanting to compete in russia. or as we see in the case of poland against the russian team even. and just quickly on commercial considerations, you mentioned your wife and leaving the champions league final there. and they also

have a sponsorship deal with a rushing company gas problem. we expected them to, to react in terms of, of that. can we expect to drop that move sponsors? there are talks at the moment that you have about how to drop this gas from sponsorship this week at champions league games. we sold gas from advertising around the side of the pitch gas from a duty, because be hosting the champ is the final. it's the stadium, backed by the oil giant that is in st. petersburg. and yet a gas from executive, a still on the u. a for executive committee, the top decision making body that decided on friday to move the final away from st . peter's back. but we've seen already how gas problem has been dropped from the shirts of the german club shall cover as a sponsor. but it's a big call for you wafer as i believe i actually i money by gas from but we've seen russian sponsors already dropped in. formula was 90 days. manchester united dropping the state highland carrier airport yesterday as a as i fainted. press sports correspondence, ro, power set. thank you very much,
