2:05 pm
a democratic world body well correspond them and re simmons is in kia, where he's been hearing shelling, he had to take cover earlier today or report and live on air, he was telling us about the latest accusations against the russian military. the claims are from the military that russia is indeed targeting some civilian areas, not massive amounts of civilian areas, but certainly relevant to the, to the point where by a building like the one used you saw, which was an example, but by no means the worst. there has been a lot of targeting near civilian areas, but yes, it would appear there has been some targeting obs within areas. i can't prove one way or the other as for what people are thinking. they're terrified. they think, well, they're fair game for, for targeting. because that's the situation and in many was there are examples in hockey, for example, where civilian areas have been really devastated. i've got to take some security
2:06 pm
advice, just bear with me a 2nd. please just bear with me a 2nd. yeah. i, we, we have to take that, we have to take a move, others information coming in about something, even, i'm sorry, we will update you later when it's safe to do so. thank you for the mirror. kia is battelle eclipse co. he had this update earlier about what's happening on the ground pretty here tonight was like, but there are no russian troops in the capital. the enemy is trying to get into the city. what we will do a residential building was hit by a missile margins. her services are going there. now military police, national guard was in tears and tutorial defense or protecting our city. we are setting checkpoints in the capital. so moment around the city will be limited. she of the critical infrastructure is working public transport is working to transport workers of the critical infrastructure of the city, the metro working except for the red line. but the stations are available to
2:07 pm
shelter people. the corresponding shells transfer has more now from southeastern 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 kilometer away beyond the check point. now we understand that all ukrainian positions that we, we believe that because this is the road that we traveled out of separation. so it was in the proper troughs 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. 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
2:08 pm
being disputed. we understand potentially that that could be ongoing fighting. but yeah, 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. ok, let's recap. the main development so far. fighting has started again in kia russian troops and i inside the capital where people have been urged to take shelter. and other residential building came under attack inside in the city of sikorsky close to the airport. their emergency services are reportedly treating the injured at that location. now that follows more than 50 explosions and gunfire in the capital over night to the south. there has been intense fighting in air field and vessel give about 40 kilometers from the palace. their russian forces have been attacking
2:09 pm
by land and air from the north and the east as well. closer to the capital city kept gun battles erupted within the city limits in surely of artillery fire was reported near. better escape sca nasa metro station near by the authorities urging people to help defend the city from the advancing russian forces. dosage about re join us as live now from moscow door. so what's being said about this in the russian capital? well, according to the russian defense ministry spokesperson, as the russian army is now in control of the city of merits. hopeful as charlie was saying that it's not being disputed by the ukrainians, but this is an important town because it's home to not only 150000 people, but strategically where it's located. it's near the, as i'll see between crimea and the key port city of mary paul and they, russian defense ministry said that they have now captured it,
2:10 pm
and they are in control of it. the spokesperson also said earlier this morning that the russian army has now managed to hit 8 over 820 military facilities that belong to the cranium. army. let's hear of some of what else he had to say. but there isn't anything wrong with the russian armed forces have 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 nationalists 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 and sizes. i want to emphasize one more time that we only fired limited to facilities of the forces or to train, thus eliminating the chance of damaging houses and social infrastructure for sure doors. so i guess it's fair to say the military planners in moscow would never tell
2:11 pm
anyone what they're going to do next for obvious reasons. but is there a sense there that they're having to recalibrate the campaign so far? because every military analyst were talking to his saying, this is not really going according to plan for the russians. i think there is now and really it's become much more clear to the public. that's what's vladimir putin had said on thursday morning in his address to the nation that was broadcast at 6 a. m as v events unfolded on the ground between the 2 countries is really something that we're seeing a different version of it. and on the ground, he said that there was, he was sending a m, the russian military into the dumbass region in eastern ukraine to carry out a special military operation. and at the request of the separatist, the leaders in those regions who were fighting with ukrainian army. now since then, vladimir putin has spoken a number of times,
2:12 pm
addressing the nation in ab taped messages that have been broadcast on state tv. in the last one, he said that the government in kiev is not fit to run was country and that the people at the army should actually take over. he encouraged the ukrainian military to basically stage a coup. and i think it's now clear that what was initially told to the public here isn't what is actually taking place on the ground. the i'm russian defense ministry is not sharing any information about the number of russian soldiers who have died over the past. so 48 hours, there is no detailed information about what kind of bad weaponry they have lost in the exchanges that have been ongoing in the battles of all over ukraine. and i think there's also a sense here, there's a lot of anger from many people. i spoke to a saying that this is not something they expected they'd, it's not something they wanted even and peace in the duma who voted for the bill to recognize those independent states in eastern ukraine. say now that they didn't
2:13 pm
vote for this. i think there is a sense that this is just really a decision that was made by the crime money without understanding the people as a whole. and whether or not they were ready for this, whether or not they wanted this. we have to remember that the 2 countries share a lot, lots of different things in terms of their culture together. many people in moscow have relatives and family in ukraine. i've spoken to a number of people who say that when they get in touch with their family members in kiev or other places, they're asked why is russia doing this? and they have no answer for them. daughter, thank you very much. also, jabbar, they're talking to us out of moscow still to come here on al jazeera, why bread could become a rarity, global heat prices surge because of the russia ukraine. on the well, the sport reacts to the russian invasion of the brain with st. petersburg stripped this years champions, the final will tell you where it's going and when ah
2:14 pm
look forward to brighter skies the weather sponsored my cattle at ways. did you think you'd seen the end of snow in japan? not quite now. temporarily it stopped falling, but it's on its way back. the forecastle. sunday is a fairly snowy one or all upon shoot less. so accardo the air dr. nothing like as colbert, above freezing marin hobby, where it's 13 in beijing, you'll notice, and hong kong come back up to average. so for the most part, the weather in china is pretty much warm for the time of year. and attempts to start to rise in india as well, which is to be expected. we're up into the middle. even the high thirty's want to places the northern plains also seen a bit of a change dry. you'll notice is not much going on, but there's a bit of a breeze in the air turning over the few showers in sri lanka are just that
2:15 pm
a few showers. so a bit of a focus on the northern plain then. yes, there are shouts of snow, but they're on their way through the same is true the shouts of rain, but they do indicate a brief change at least. so the forecast the new delhi isn't a bad one. shallow fog air quality. i have to tell you is up to moderate up from unhealthy may not last because the wind dies down, but generally speaking, looking much better than it has done for what weeks. if not months in the levant temporarily, well is looking fine, but this is shemelle picking up the dust and blowing down the gulf again. oh, the weather sponsored by cataract ways. americans are increasingly saying authoritarianism might not be so bad. there were several steps along the way where the chain of command, if you'd like, tried to cover what's your take on why they've gotten so long. that to me is political malpractice, the bottom line on us politics and policy, and the impact on the world on al jazeera. what's most important to me is talking
2:16 pm
to people, understanding what they're going through here. and i just here, we believe everyone has a story with hearing. ah, the me welcome back. you're watching now. the main aspects of the ukraine. russia was so far right now. explosions have been heard and parts of the russian forces continue . the result apartment building the come on. and the other thing that people, including children with injures in the missiles, right? another big convoy of russian trucks is cross the border into your brain. moscow is sending more supplies to the fighting continues. ukraine's president says his government is still in charge of here, and key points around it's not to me. as the sky says de rails brushes, he's
2:17 pm
a russian to pressure flooding reputed to abandon his war plans. the un security council failed to adopt a resolution condemning the russian military action in ukraine. russia veto the votes that would have confirmed the sovereignty of ukraine, and demanded that russia immediately withdraw its forces. she had her tendency reports as president of the security council had failed to 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, in 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, it's vito power, russia, you can veto this resolution, but you cannot veto our voices. you cannot be told the truth,
2:18 pm
you cannot veto our principles. you cannot veto the ukrainian people, the russian. i'm basset accounted that the resolution was imbalanced for not mentioning the shilling 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 want 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 waging once again agreed with russia that the crisis had developed over time as a result of nature'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 bassett, or accuse his russian counterpart of having no idea what was in vitamin hooton's mind. but he did reaffirm ukraine's commitment and negotiations,
2:19 pm
even as he despaired for the safety of his people. and i will ask all of you to pray automated dates 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 vivita already. it appears to have the support of more than 80 of the u. s. 193 members states she ever town see al jazeera, the united nations, no nato, sending thousands of troops by land, air, and sea to protect allies near russia and ukraine. the nato secretary general then stoughton berg has called the crisis a new normal in european security. it comes after the president, lot of me as a lensky, criticized the alliance for not coming to his countries aid. our diplomatic head of the james bay's reports now from brussels. troops,
2:20 pm
tanks and weapons are on the move across europe. as nato continues to reinforce its eastern front, it's member states who are closest to russia. now the alliance is activated elements of its response force. thousands of extra troops over a 100 jets are on high alert. 120 warships are in position. nato leaders met by secure video conference for the 1st time. since the start of the russian invasion, as fears grow that the ukrainian capital could be taken soon. how fearful are you about the possible full of key? and if we move to a resistance, insurgency type situation, what support can nato then give? what we have seen is that on the are cranium, forces are fighting bravely and are actually able to inflict damage on the invading russian forces. ah, but again, it is
2:21 pm
a very fluid and the anglo, an evolving situation. nato allies express her at them, or some it today after they are provide support to ukraine. they are ready to con, senior, to ride support, to ukraine, here at nato headquarters. the plan is to fully protect their members on the eastern front. the country is closest to russia, but at the same time they're sending a message to president putin. you're getting exactly what you said you didn't want an increased nato presence on your doorstep. it's part of a coordinated effort. the european union was invited to the virtual nato meeting. at the same time, e u foreign ministers met in brussels to agree a fresh round of sanctions. the 3rd in just 3 days. this time they decided to directly sanction the personal assets of president putin and his foreign minister, sir galeb roth. james bayes,
2:22 pm
al jazeera and brussels. soon bas robbie's in eastern poland where thousands of ukrainians had been crossing the border. we've seen people crossing by car crossing by, but many people that are coming in from across the border and the river coming to the town of sla, by a train on here in front of the main station. and inside we've been seeing people coming in families, 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 count 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,
2:23 pm
conscripted into the printed army to help, to push back the rest of 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 a 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 training, are bound to be next. like see, hold on is a political analyst and a professor of comparative politics in magnolia academy. he says, ukrainians, united in battling russian forces. there is a feeling that people are helping each other. this is really important. so us are rational once again the united us ukraine. you know, we are democracy. so we have a very political struggle in the ukraine. but at this moment, the ruling by the end, the position they are united and again, people feel it. and the they're helping each other. you say this is very,
2:24 pm
very dashing. when i see those man with the, with the arms. some of them are all like me, some of them are young, but everybody saying we're going to defend you. a lot of them saying give them the rational then again, this is very important to understand because put in is talking some crazy things about about to genocide. rational, do you have a population is speaking ration let no problem about we are all bilingual so many people have better knowledge of rational than the graham, but they're going to present that. so it's important, don't we have political niche political nations? so it's not divided along africa lines. alexander piekarski is a senior, russia analyst. he says, president putin will feel the economic consequences of invading ukraine. people are
2:25 pm
already talking that the heart of the life will be hard, especially with already art or economy because of coffee and so on. and so some people actually are saying that they employ premiums and putting ukrainian flags which may be not the good thing because it's divides a society, but many russian civil, those who support do not justify his actions. i have many friends for hard like witness. and they say, this is not a protect, even the fighting wasn't been boss, even you paid because the bus use other means other means diplomacy, un un peacekeepers. but to retail, it to attack this will be, you know, iran, iraq war. we might actually have something like this. i think, forces are strong. they are knowing this use of russians because many brain officers know the russian tactics because probably they were the se in the soviet union. so some things have changed by many things are remain the same. so yes,
2:26 pm
economy cost would be, would be because the western sanctions. but you know what? i talked to a friend of mine and economies from very respect that school. you said not only economy, but also moral cough. you also see the football championship is cancelled in some sports or a c. misconduct or valera your dog. a very talented man, but also such food support. i was banned from new york carnegie hall. so this is also more about musicians would not come, sign just will not be able to come. some people on the was a focus conference will be denied. whatever circus artist will not be performing russia, my tune into something like enough for you. well, the war and ukraine means millions might have to pay more for bread we price use of jumped to a 13 year. hi, alex smith is a food and agriculture analyst with the breakthrough institute. he says those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflict in ukraine continues. do credit is one of the most important producers in the world. the product program,
2:27 pm
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 me, 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 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 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
2:28 pm
a crisis. poland and the last hour has announced it's refusing to play russia and a will come playoff next month. the president of the polish f a says, is the only right thing to do. the right decision that comes out of the champions league final was moved to paris. from st. petersburg is peter spinet, the champion fleet. finally, one of the biggest events on the global sporting calendar hosting the match brings procedure and tourism among of the benefits. paris will now host the seas and final of the st. petersburg was stripped of the honor by european football, governing body you a for they've also decided russian and ukrainian club, and national themes are to play home games at neutral venues fif. it will have to decide whether or not russia's will cut play off in moscow. next month against poland will go ahead as planned. feet had already spoken out against the conflict. pipa expresses hope for a rapid cessation of hostilities and for peace.

2:30 pm
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 kiev against spain has had to be postponed. russian tennis star andre rube live made clear his views on the matter after women do by on friday. but unless there is a swift into the conflict, more sporting events are likely to be postponed, cancelled or moved to neutral venues. peter stammered al jazeera. ah, let's recap the main development so far for you coming to us out of russia and ukraine. it's 1130 g, that means it's 130 in the afternoon and kia where they've been hearing explosions as russian forces continue. their assault and apartment building has come under attack.
