alexia bryan begins, are coverage early morning on saturday, and messiah slams into a residential building and the ukrainian capital, the moment hatchet for inside the building on a security camera, a gaping hole left in the building side was russian forces attacked key if from the north east and south. emergency workers arrived to rescue those inside xhylia. when with the whispers we managed to escape were in the kitchen, we were lucky as a direct hit into the living room. my wife and our child broke their legs. the younger child had taken somewhere bard to rescue his arm looking for him. now, the attack followed, fierce fighting in the capital over night. people watched from their homes, as vassals raged on the streets outside. people had been urged to take shelter, though it's not clear where and the city is safe. russia has said it's only targeting

military infrastructure. the ukrainian officials are accusing moscow if facing civilian areas. a convoy of russian trucks has been seen rolling into ukraine, but the president vladimir lensky is said to have refused an american offer to evacuate, insisting he will stay and fight him door uncle grades. 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. a man in southern ukraine has been filmed, standing in front of the russian military. on friday, president zalinski asked europeans with commit experienced to take up arms to

defend his country, accusing the west of being too slow to help tens of thousands of people, a crossing and neighboring countries in search of safety to romania. they crossed by barge, while the line of vehicles waiting to enter. poland is said to stretch 15 kilometers . the un phase, at least a 120000 people have fled ukraine in the past 48 hours. and that number's increasing by the minute. meanwhile, more russian troops are heading towards ukraine, and there are warnings, including from french president emanuel now crohn of a long war ahead. alixia bryan al jazeera. why not essential ukraine? and we bring an anderson as to tell us what's happening in the west of ki vander. yes, in cave for the west, that has been some clashes between russian forces. i'm the ukrainians. the

ukrainians managed to force back a convoy. this was in the early hours of the saturday morning. now we're hearing and we, we have not seen any further action round that it seems to be a low in fighting right now. but i'll tell you more about the developments later. we were now in the countryside, we've been really sensing an atmosphere of tension, not just hair on the major highways, but particularly in the rural areas. lots of checkpoints, lots of people who are reserves of some of them actually not using the automatic weapons that have been distributed freely, some using hunting rifles. they look stress. they're looking for saboteurs that have been saboteurs arrested. the have been saboteurs killed, a russian particularly chechen thought to be thought to be actually in action. well ahead of the advancing troops arriving. and of course it is dangerous for anyone on

the street civilians or otherwise because of that. and what we're also seeing is defiance is a really angry reaction to the russians. we're seeing barricades being put up with seeing all sorts of improvised ways of trying to repel advancing columns. but really they're, they're really very weak in comparison to the sort of might the going to carry. now what we're also a hearing is that more and more civilians, the record numbers are joining signing up. and the numbers are now increasing to very high volumes that have been impulsive, also defiance towards the russians with one man rather extraordinarily running into a road and a trying to stop. an almond fair cool. all the sea, it was impossible, it was close run thing. the armored vehicle drove around this man,

but these are examples of how bitter, how defiant these forces are. andrew. meanwhile, putin spoke and made some ominous comments about keith. tell us more about what was said. a dmitri pesca of the kremlin spokesman, referred to a possibility of negotiations, which he said, vladimir putin had been quite seriously considering and had made an offer. but then that was refused by ukraine. now that offer really involved a whole host of, of, of concessions, massive concessions to a boy whereby, a vladimir putin had demanded the surrender of ukrainian forces. so president zalinski not

all right, i do apologize. we lost our connection to andrew simmons, andrew reporting from central ukraine, and bernard will come over to you. bernard smith is joining us from moscow and just took a pick up on what andrew. i was saying. he was referring to this offer of talks that had reportedly taken place. what is russia saying a regarding any prospect of tots mclennan is saying that are letting me a putin actually called a hold since the invasion on friday because that was their understanding that talks were going to take place in the kremlin, says that then or ukraine didn't engage in the idea of talks. so he can he, he instructed the operation as the russians call it, to be restarted again. now we do know that ukraine, vladimir zalinski had been asking russia for talks. busy there was suggestion that the girl russia was going to have those talks proposed them to take place in minsk,

are the ukrainians wanted them to take place in warsaw? man and the russians say they've heard nothing from the ukrainians since then. as of this was more flash being put under the bones of this idea of talks by the kremlin to day. but we also know that the kremlin is setting down very tough. am limits are for ukraine if you like. they've already said that ukrainians have got to military got to lay down its arms. vladimir putin is called on the ukrainian army to overthrow its leadership further political leadership, verbally move boot and said it will be easy for us if you did that. and so the problem the crime in has, is with vladimir as a lensky. so who exactly would these talks be with, we don't know because that the mere putin is not content. it doesn't recognize the legit legitimacy of laudermill zalinski. and bernard, how has russia are reacting to the various sanctions that have now been placed on

the country? well, was seeing the sort of political and physical isolation of russia beginning to take place. now dmitri medford, our former presence of russia, now the deputy had of russia's security council, he's brushed off the sanctions. he said, it's a good reason to pull out of strategic dialogue on nuclear stability and potentially to pull out from the new a strategic arm reduction treaty the start treaty or which was signed in 2010 and extended to 20. 21 and medford have also said it's really unfair, the decision taken by the council of europe to suspend russia's membership. but he says it might give us a know a good opportunity to restore the best death penalty for dangerous criminals. and you can't be in the counsel of you. it members of the council of europe are not allowed to have the death penalty on their statute. books. and practically more airlines are been banned from russian air space. this is in retaliation for various

european countries. banning russia from their air space. so it's going to get much harder to get in and out of russia and to over fly russia to other destinations that have a very early, clear sign of rushes, physical isolation from the rest of the world. thank you so much. bernard smith is reporting from moscow. we now over go to washington dc. let's bring in rosin. jordan will tell us more about the state department announcing additional military assistance for ukraine. rosalyn the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and was given as special authority by the u. s. president joe biden last fall to provide increased on military assistance really at the drop of a hat if it were so required. this is the 3rd such trash of as military assistance that the u. s. government is giving to of load mirrors. zalinski is government. it's about $350000000.00. and it's going to be to help them purchase military

equipment that they can use in order to fight off the russian military. we don't know specifically what is going to be bought, but the idea is that it's probably going to be a small arms, things that are already a perhaps available in an inventory and can be transmitted to ukrainian territory as quickly as possible. of course, the big factor is that because of the ongoing russian invasion, it's going to be a challenge just to say the least, to get these additional weapons and other equipment to the ukranian a military. and there's also the question of whether usaa military trainers would be able to try to help the ukrainian military or whether they would simply be delivering more equipment that the ukrainians already know how to use. but in some, this is now about a $1000000000.00 or so, according to the u. s. state department that has been given to ukraine in the past

year in order to better secure it's military capabilities. all right, awesome. thank you so much. rosalyn jordan reporting from washington d. c. we will look at this in a little bit more depth and take a closer look at the military aid that's being sent to ukraine by western countries . so rosin was just reporting that the u. s. president joe biden has now approved $350000000.00 to help ukraine since 2014 the u. s. has handed more than 2 and a half $1000000000.00 worth of military aid to cave dots after russia, an ex crimea. and back to rebel fighters of the eastern dorm boss region. or the aid has included trainers defense system dance more recently, javelin anti tank missiles the u. k has also sent anti tank weapons while turkey sent t b 2 drones on thursday, the european union agreed emergency financial assistance of 1300000000 dollars. the netherlands will deliver $200.00 finger anti aircraft missiles. but while ukraine's army is now better armed and equipped and back in 2014,

the government saying that it needs more help. all western countries have ruled out putting boots on the grounds. let's discuss this with cure. gilles is an expert on russia with chatham house, and he's also the author of the research paper. what deter is russia? he's joining us from the u. k. welcome to al jazeera. so what difference does all of this military aid make? now to ukraine, it has to be said not nearly as much difference as it would have made before this crisis actually kicked into the invasion phase by russia would have been possible for western power that really wanted to support ukraine to do so in practical steps that might have prevented the war by providing the support that was awful in advance, the no fly zones that ukraine is currently begging for maritime exclusion zones. even the presence of peacekeepers from other countries to match that threat by russia to introduce the the so called fake peacekeepers that they were supposed to be sending in to the use of the country. all of that could have been done and might

have led us to a different course of the, to what we're seeing now with these tragic events around key of and across the whole of ukraine actually within. and how does this a, this military age? but countries are now giving to korean. how does it get into ukraine? what we seen from the u. k. this morning, details of what is being supplied, but ministers saying quite reasonably that they do not wish to disclose exactly how it is going to reach the ukrainian forces. and that makes perfect sense because you will immediately make a target of those deliveries if you disclose precisely where they're going. so, crane has a long land border with nato nations. and i think we can assume that anywhere across that land border will be whether arriving would be fair to say that the military capabilities of the 2 countries, ukraine versus russia, are quite unbalanced. i mean, if you look at some of the statistics, this is according to the international institute for strategic studies, who's saying like russia simply has more of everything, ukraine spent 4700000000 dollars and 2021. if you compare that to russia,

it spend $45800000000.00. that's true on paper. russia is massively overwhelming. and if it can bring that force to bear in the right way, at the right time, they need to be a fairly straightforward method to defeat ukraine. but this isn't all on paper as you've already heard from your correspondence. the way in which ukraine is fighting back is unexpected, probably even for russians themselves. and of course, we don't know what the russian troops, the russian soldiers, the young children think the boys that have been sent into grain have been told they are doing where they're going. and we always have to be careful with what we see circulating on social media. but that does seem to be a number of videos building up all those russian soldiers being captured and not actually realizing that they were not going to be welcomed with open arms by ukraine when they when you, i mean, when you say unexpected, i wonder what you're basing that on because as you know, there is

a lot of misinformation that's coming out right now from, from what's happening inside the country. and how do you think ukrainian defenses are coping well again, it's impossible to tell precisely what the picture is. it's probably like somewhere between an optimistic assessment by ukraine and a completely fictional one by russia. and yes, it's extremely important to be careful about repeating and disseminating videos that seem convincing without actually making sure that they are, in fact both current and topical and correct. however, what we do know is that he has not fallen in the 24 to 48 hours that a lot of military analysts were predicting before this started. as with a lot of assessment of those rushing forces that were built up all the way around ukraine, looking in detail of what they ought to be capable of and look, considering what their plans might be. and those assessments that said this was going to be a rapid campaign in which ukraine would swiftly collapse,

have not been worn out. so how do you see that playing out then? do you think that the russians will manage to enter kids and, and if and when they do, what capabilities do that you've craniums have to defend the capital of the moment . anything that's looking more than a couple of hours out is pure speculation. so i'd rather not because the shape of the campaign seems to be becoming clear, but whether russia will actually succeed in it is another question altogether. now what some people are concerned about is if the russian advanced stools and they do not make progress through conventional military operations, they will fall back on the normal rushing tactics, all indiscriminate destruction and terrorizing the civilian population into surrender. and then of course, we will have a, an even bigger humanitarian catastrophe on the edges of europe. we thank you so much care giles, for speaking to us from the u. k. now the un security council has fail to adopt

a resolution condemning the russian military action in ukraine. russia vetoed the vote that would have confirmed the sovereignty of ukraine and demanded that moscow immediately withdraw its forces. she had returned c reports as president of the security council. it fell to russia to list b, u and member states who co sponsored a resolution opposing its use of force against ukraine and calling for an unconditional withdrawal. but so on the angry with him ali, the resolution did gained the sport 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 be told this resolution, but you cannot veto our voices. you cannot be tell the truth. you cannot veto our principles. you cannot detail the ukrainian people. the russian ambassador counted 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 lumpkin. your son told me to go to see you in the midst of them. 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 you are succeeded them 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 the result of nato's disregard for russia security and cautioned the security council. no taking the any action should be truly conducive to defusing the crisis rather than adding fuel to the fire. the 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 or to meditate 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 vito already. it appears to have the support of more than 80 of the us $193.00 member states. she ever time see al jazeera, the united nations or diplomatic editor james bays is in brussels. that's where western nations are meeting to take action against russia. i think the international position is pretty solid now. regarding the, the where i am the e, u. nato and the u. s. and i think you also got some idea of the international position at the un security council where you saw the position of china, which i think is very important. abstaining on that security council resolution.

clearly, the resolution condemning russia didn't pass because it was vetoed by russia, but china, which is increasingly a close ally of russia. the fact that they abstain, i think, is an interesting fact. meetings of continuing all across the world and will continue over the weekend. it's not a normal weekend of short. the german chancellor is currently meeting the polish prime minister and the lithuanian president. lots of meetings going on, particularly i think meetings on what to do going forward with regard to support for ukraine. they put the sanctions in place to punish president putin. what do they do to actually help the ukrainian military? they're not going to send any resources or any tricks. they, they know that's the case. none of that weapons, none of the aircraft or their troops will be used, but can they send weapons in support of the ukrainians? can they give other support to the cranium? financial support that has happened from some european countries that happened from the u. s. i think others are discussing it and discussing what moves they can make

. france as president says he is going fence. the war will continue into the foreseeable future in money, one of my cross, as russia, as military advance will also have tough consequences at home. again, it was going on to the fall last and all the cry fees that go we'll get, we'll have drupal consequences. we must pay ourselves lots of determination. also, lots of sort of diversity has returned to europe, but it was unilateral, chosen by president putin, with a tragic humanitarian crisis, a population that was the european union. that was a long thought. ukrainian. people need to try to do peace and protect it and take all the necessary measures of implementing sanctions. scott lucas is an ameritas professor at the university of birmingham. he says that the sanction being placed on russia will destroy economy. well, the u. s. posture as well as i think you have to make it an international posture. european union, various european states, canada,

australia. japan is 2 fold. one is you give as much support as, as possible right now to the ukraine and government, recognizing the fundamental ones which is that the russians are now buildings as well as attacking other cities. i think if we move to a new phase of what we're talking about in this attempted russian occupation of ukraine. what you may see is the move of those who went ski government to the west of ukraine to live for example. which of course, is closer to areas like poland, which makes it easier for us and europe to give support that includes political support and of course military support through defense of weapons. but the 2nd dimension of this, of course, is the sanctions question. it's the economic pressure on russia that pressure has not gone all out yet. not only the european union, but the g 7 including job i'm hold back from the ultimate national, which was the cut off the entire cut off a brush up from the swift financial transaction systems. but the sanctions have

been expanding the couple most sectors of the russian economy. the americans confirmed yesterday that they will be expanding the sanctions to directly target. while important. we realize however, the sanctions will not stop the military offensive. they probably won't prevent a russian occupation of most of ukraine, but this is not a sprint. now. this is a longer race, which is, you know, the fact that the u. s. in europe are saying, the bladder brewton, you can occupy ukraine, but you will face ukrainian insurgency and your face to collapse your country's economy. still ahead on all that, there are thousands of anti war protesters take to the streets of cities across the world. and chelsea's future is uncertain after cold to sanction the clubs russian owners. one not coming up. ah,

we have not seen the end of the series of winter storms. it started nice to met a run right across the levant to iran. eventually that beyond that and to afghanistan, this is the latest one here, giving showers as far as maybe northern egypt attends a diet on saturday. so showers in iran and maybe more significant weather in the caucasus snow here. but that's not the last of the series. and usually when these come through, you get a brief normally breeze down the gulf that picks up the sand and doesn't have to drop temperature, but it's not severe. i have to say. and the dust appears mainly in the end quarter of saudi arabia. but you see the next storm is already gathering, though ha, for example, doesn't attempt to drop very much despite the fact that wind come through it's dusty start on sunday. but monday and tuesday. and it is very much to be honest. the straw different for turkey waltz is big circulation stars,

and that was got 2 centers are quite a nasty one here, giving a significant snow to eastern bulgaria. so you get snow in the middle of turkey and range out the south of that rain through cyprus as well. the whole system will so slowly wind up and move eastwards, taking that rain into bay route as an example, leaving a bit of sunshine behind. but to say the scene is still fairly wintery. ah, harmful pathogens are increasingly affecting our lives with terrible consequences. a new documentary asks whether we've learned any lessons from the h. i. v epidemic in the fight against coven 19. how we ignore the global south to put profits before people. and what cost? time of panics. coming soon on august.

ah, once cc'd well is now posted to remote villages in morocco. algebra one follows the personal journey of 3 women teachers. their daily struggles with isolation and battles with physical hardship sacrificing their family lives for the education of future generations. women in the winter on al jazeera. oh, i hear you're watching. all right, here's a reminder of the top stories this. our explosions have been heard in parts of kids

as russian forces continue their assault. an apartment building has come under attack. caves mirror says $35.00 people, including children were injured in them is off strike. a curfew has been extended and anyone seen on the streets at night will be considered the enemy. another large convoy of russian trucks across the border into ukraine. moscow is sending more supplies is deciding continue, and the president of ukraine says his government is still in charge of the capital and key points around us. legit. marizza lensky says his troops have derailed russia military advance. he's russian to pressure resident, whatever person abandoned his plans. what keeps mayor is vitaly keeps go and he had this update about what's been happening on the grounds here. tonight was hard, but there are no russian troops in the capitalist in the enemy is trying to get into the city. what we will do a residential building was hit by a missile. emergency 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 could be the critical infrastructure is working with public transport is working to transport workers of the critical infrastructure of the city. the metro is working except for the red line, but the stations are available to shelter people. al jazeera is all my dad has his in keys, where a residential apartment block was hit this morning. not and, and, and he hung up on one of the northwest of the creaming capital key of exactly under the residential tower. that was early. a hit with a missile that 9, 10 am local time band. it was hit during the 2nd wave of strikes i targeting various districts in the capitol, highly kind of heavy. we spoke to local officials who confirmed it was headed by miss sol. luckily, all residents had earlier fled to the shelters and denise us enough in line with

the directives given to them that no one was injured with. if we asked the local officials, if there is any military facility or any army presence in the area, they confirmed that there is none be done with the exception of the local airport, which is mainly as civilian passenger as federal. this will now bring in my run wasa lake was an advisor to the chief executive officer of nafta guards, ukraine, that's ukraine's largest national oil and gas company. so, so a commentator on international affairs, he joining us from the v that in western ukraine. welcome to al jazeera. what is the mood like where you are? how concerned are people at what's happening in other parts of the country? well i think that every, every city is basically are today because the russians are inviting, are invading from the north, from the east, from the south. and basically the movers tense in the country. of course, the higher the hardest hit are, the cities in the country as well as

a leave is quite, quite, quite today. but for the most part, the intense fighting is happening in the eastern areas and in the central around the capitol. over the last 24 hours, we can say that for, for the russian troops, it was the greatest loss of russian troops since world war 2. 3500 soldiers were dead. we had for the credit report at 102 tanks to destroy 536 vehicles, 15 artillery pieces, 14 fighter jets, 8 helicopters, and a number of other pieces of equipment. so it was not a very good day for the russians or players rights rights. and just to clarify, i mean these are claims that are put forward by the ukrainians. but let me ask you about the situation in and around the capital a. do you think the russians actually want to enter the capital or are they using perhaps the threat of entering as some sort of leverage for any prospect off talks

going forward? of course they want to enter the capital. they've been trying to land their place in the airports to their plans were shot down mice. what they're doing is parish shooting their troops on their sabotaged troops on to the pregnancy. and basically, a number of resistance fighters have been taking out the groups that so basically been about 5 or 6 of the major city, ryans. so it's not a question of, it's a question. it's happened. what does that lensky do now? i mean, what is he banking on? because the kremlin is saying that the leadership in ukraine and that is a lensky declined to negotiate. and thus, that is why the russian military operation is going on a meal. what does the lensky do from now on? he's not really gotten what he wanted from nato, as well as western allies. and he's asked for western allies and european allies to

impose sanctions on russia, including on the swift banking system which has not happened. so he's in a bit of a tough position. is he not? i think he's in a very strong position. the rice, the russians had tremendous loss last night, which they did not expect. those who did toes the ones yesterday that he wanted him to basically capitulate. and it's the ones you told them. absolutely not. so i think the ones is falling on because the cranes control the ground, the russians can't control the ground. there's a bunch of gen, russian bodies all over the fields in the streets. they don't even have a ground operation to pick up there. they're all on today, the recruitment government turn to the iris international red cross. and so please send in some help to get these that russian bodies out of the country and back to russia to their mothers so they can bury them. so i think the lunch isn't pretty strong positions about when it comes to the sanctions. and i got asked you this since you are an advisor to enough to guys. i mean there is an elephant in the room

specifically when it comes to sanctions. we saw that the u. s. and e u announced a rafter sanctions over the past few days on russia. but what's absent are sanctions on oil and gas because if they do so, then this is not only only going to impact russia and the long term, but this is going to affect european countries as well. ah, yes, it's going to affect the european countries unfortunately. but i think what we're talking about is the gas on the, in the financial sector. the sanctions are the high technology. i think the basically another one or 2 days of this type of id. and these type of losses will force other other sanctions, including the switch. and so we think that the situation will get more dire for the russians on the russians understand this. they're trying to pump more gas into europe to try to mitigate any type of sanctions from the you. or 2 months,

the russian gas going through the pregnant fight was basically half of the capacity . in the last 2 days, they increase the capacity to almost 100 percent. so we see the russians are basically playing games. i tried to mitigate the sanctions and things are not going their way. that's obviously the case. do you foresee a scenario where russia turns off as a gas supply to europe? no, it's, it's a potential scenario. i mean, the russians are pretty crazy these days. i mean, they were trying to get a pipeline or without the european rules and they failed in that. so i think they're getting quite desperate. are i to leave it there? we thank you so much. my run wasn't for joining us from ukraine. it now at least a $100000.00 ukrainians, have fled to poland after escaping russia invasion. but some say they're being

mistreated by border guards. some people who are reached at medical border crossing say they were threatened and they also witnessed violence. they were also stuck in heavy cues with some waiting for more than 12 hours to get through. crazy is that there were a lot of guys who tried to get through, and there was a soldier with the guns going to get back it back. if i got to close, he literally punch them in the face. border guards got really, really aggressive and they would even like, lock the door and tell us like, like, you know, we're closing it forever. you can go back. it was really scary. they made so many threats seriously. alive update now and then bas robbie. he's joining us from eastern poland. that's where ukrainians are crossing the borders. they tell us what you've been seeing there. well here at the train station, this is where people displace from the fighting in ukraine that managed to make it across to the other side. this is a place they come to and for many it's the 1st time that they've had any sort of help in days, they're able to get food supplies, they're able to get

a drink of water, a hot meal, a place to rest and sort of contemplate and get help to figure out what exactly comes next. now the crowd here has been coming in and waved on trains from the viv into the train station. you'll see there's windows there where people are getting hot food here. they can get a toothpaste. shampoo, so diapers for kids, we've seen a great number of children and women coming through and a lot of that has to do with the fact that many of the men of fighting age, 1816 year old are being stopped at the border and conscripted into the ukrainian armed forces, he met one mother who said that she brought her 2 daughters out, her husband who works in the i t and information technology decided to stay back and do what he can to help the military that is trying to fight the russians. now, one of the things we've done was we've gone around all day speaking to people and

spoken to those that have been displaced from the train. we've spoken to polish people living here and offering to help volunteers. busy as well as government workers in one thing that we keep hearing over and over again that they all have in common is that they are, they have an enormous amount of criticisms to lay at the feet of the russian liter vladimir. they use language that i can't repeat on air, they've got incredibly strong words for him. one woman said that a polish will visit with here to try to head out twice the children was in tears and said that his actions in ukraine simply showcase that he's, he's lost his senses. she very plainly called him a crazy. he's his actions of attacking your brain. another man use language again that i cannot repeat but intends on dropping his children off in the netherlands and returning to his wife, who is currently in the horses and fighting inside your train. one woman said, if she had when asked if she had a message for food and she simply said, no,

i will not speak to him. he didn't speak to us, and i've got nothing to say to them, you're a great deal of anger. there are people who are shell shocked when they arrive, even if they arrive recently. many people say that they just can't see what the road ahead looks like. and they can't believe that this has happened in ukraine. but here in poland, they are getting assistance. they are getting help. the government is planning to receive between one to 5000000 people in the coming days. and if the fighting continues to intensify, it's easy to see how these border crossings. and it has to be said, the border crossings like this, all across the western border of ukraine with poland. all of them have been switched into border crossings that people can cross on. so what the government is saying is that whether you're coming here by train, by car, whether you're coming here on foot, you can get in, they've lifted any stops on people with or without passports, you don't even have to have your pcr tests are proto virus vaccinations. where you, people are arriving from the, from the battle zone,

from the costumes on any train. what the government is telling us are being allowed if they're being many of them are being transported to other parts of europe. and getting this is you say that train is not quite ruffle, along with volatility, seen and just regular moving the fuel. the conflict is not to say that russia's conflict with thank you so much. yes, you're very important from eastern poland or chris mel zir as a singer spokesman for the un high commissioner for refugees, and he's in the polish border town of doris gun has been speaking to some of those who have recently arrived from ukraine. we talking about thousands of people and so in the 1st 48 hours about $75000.00 people from the train have arrived in poland

alone. and he had that part of the border, like in the yellow pots, also long lines of cars from, from the ukraine. sometimes the people they told us they are waiting for 24 hours the even even more they are, they sat, they are frightened, but they also kind of relief because right now they think they are, they are safe and happy that they can go to poland. we have to situation that about 12130000 cranes have left their country, but they are much more people inside of the crime place. we need to expect a higher number, but with the also a lot of philadelphia to poland but also in romania and lavaca and adobe that the government and also the people itself. the, the open up the help and the signs of solidarity are really touching mainly women and children. not that many men within the refugees. and they,

the told us that they are now that they hope to find safety here in poland and they left to family members behind them. sometimes they really heartbreaking people. hot, we think stories from, from people who are in need there been protest across the world against russia as attack on ukraine. some of those that are rally instagram, shirley. i have family and keys who are hiding and bomb shelters. and new zealand, demonstrators transit stop hootin in taiwan protest. her is gathered outside the russian representative office, and i paid transit glory to ukraine or russian students who attended the rally said they were ashamed of the occupation. and they hoped ukraine will be free me wrong. thousands of protests gathered in the german city of munich to voice their anger, their calling for an end to the conflict. some demonstrator say they are scared, the violence could spread to western europe.

that's the scene in the french capital where thousands of people attended a massive rally in paris. large crowds gathered in the eastern city of strasburg. they're calling on the russian president vladimir putin to withdraw his forces and end. the invasion for professors in london won their government to take stronger action against russia. the baba is there would have been demonstrations here outside downing street for several days now. but interestingly, people are not just announcing the actions of president putin in ukraine, but they are calling for specific measures that they want to see brought in straight away. one of them is a no fly zone by nato, so that the ukranian armed forces have a greater chance of resisting the attack by russia. they're also talking to russia to be eliminated from the swift mechanism of international payments. now there are families here who ukrainians,

who set to the united kingdom with family back home in ukraine who are desperately worried. and they don't know what to tell their relatives. their relatives then know that there are, there is fighting on many different fronts and they are st. worried. of course families like that. have to make the decision. do they stay or do they try to get out of the country? i'm not what so worrying for people here. there is a big solidarity movement here in the united kingdom where they're a tens of thousands of ukrainians living. there are other you citizens like people from poland. also president presence at this protest that countries are now mobilizing to help you craniums. so i think that that's adding to the sense that here in britain, there is more that the british government could and should be doing right now. the prominence conservatives in the u. s. have been gathering in florida for the conservative political action conference. the meeting began on thursday in the

conflict and ukraine has been a major topic of conversation on 100 reports from orlando. the conservative political action conference is one part political carnival rec one part serious policy discussion. and with russia now invading ukraine, us policy on that conflict took center stage no matter where 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. that was reg, as model, it was the model that we used for 4 years in the trump administration. we put america 1st and we told people around the world, you cannot tread on us. the former president impeachment overcharges he withheld

nearly $400000000.00 and military aid to ukraine was not mentioned since 1974. the conservative political action conference has been home to die hard. conservative mostly foreign policy hawks that change under president and 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 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 prefer 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. while the conflict in ukraine means millions might have to pay more for breads. wheat prices have jumped to a 13 year high and investors are worried about disruptions to supply. about 30 percent of global weight exports are supplied by ukraine and russia. ukraine sends 95 percent of fits in through the black sea, but its 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 of libya as we import our from ukraine. egypt is the world's largest importer of wheat. alex smith is a food and agriculture analyst with the breakthrough institutes, and he says, those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflict in ukraine escalates. ukraine is one of the most important air filter producers in the world as the pro

program. ukraine is the 3rd largest corner of the world we explore and there the, there 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 focus meet prices and prices of other areas for products that depend on those commodities, 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 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 the, the russian base will last and how long there can be disruptions. that's when we really see sort of the lead on the out there in his hour.
