crane, how will the world react to his latest new, what impact with his hop on the people from crane and russia? as events unfold, stay with us for the latest news and analysis from moscow on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, the time is 1300 hours g m t on come all santa maria here and joe hall with the news off m al jazeera, russian and ukrainian delegation. sap sat down the talks in a bell, russian border town. the 1st time that done bad, but the fighting is still intensifying. for example, of rock to says its troops have taken areas around a nuclear power plant in east in ukraine. all the fighting goes on and so many of the united nations is saying more than half

a 1000000 ukrainians of their fair homes. since the start of the conflict will have border reports from poland and the u. s. has banned all transactions with the russian central bank. as the rubel, the currency drops more than 30 percent against the us dollar app fee for vans, russia from playing a higher, more using that flag and national mountain. but the polish football association was towed out as they were, they wait to be playing that wildcat fly off against the russians seem under any circumstances. ah, well, the talking that the bell russian border, ukrainian and russian delegations the 1st time they have done that since russia's assault on ukraine, that the 2 sides have met ukraine. of course, once an immediate cease fire. russia says it is seeking in agreement that benefits both sides said all follows more explosions overnight and keith, the crap capital and cities right across ukraine. there was another residential

building hit as well. that was in china, if woman, half a 1000000 people that have now left ukraine since russia began its invasion. that is courtney c nighted nations, most of them crossing through poland, romania and hungary, in freezing conditions. meanwhile, the e u parliament is holding a special session over the crisis and the you foreign policy. chief joseph barrell says they are looking into how to help ukraine to defend itself. these have a 1000000000 review. those will be devoted to provide defensive arms. but i calibrate arms anti tanks, all kinds of agreements in order to re pales digression and member to stay have to provide disarmed, had to coordinate with what that they are doing. membership is something that was laid hey, case of out of ears who had to provide an answer for the common dollars. not for the company coming out was alright,

let's kick things off. john hollis out. he's in the beef in the west of ukraine. hi, jonah talks, i mean, it's a good sign that they'll sit in the same room, i guess, but they're very far apart on the issue. absolutely, they've been talking for a couple of hours now. we're not hearing anything out of those talk. so no idea how they may be progressing at, but as you say, it's extremely difficult to understand precisely what common ground they may have to discuss where they may find any grounds for agreement, both sides diametrically opposed the ukrainians. want an immediate cease fire and immediate withdrawal of troops. the russians want the neutrality of ukraine. once you find the century to go to any possible future membership of nato, they want recognition of the independence of these breakaway regions in the east. they want recognition of the crimea as part of russia. i mean

a whole. so the shopping list of all of the demands that are not in any way likely to be exceeded to by the ukrainian, the level at which they're talking is defense minister on the ukranian side, deputy foreign and defense minister on the russian side. these are not leaders clearly, no decisions are going to be made at the table. they will have to walk away and consult, but expectations extremely low. blood him is lensky ukrainian. president said ahead of these talk. so he was sending people there to listen to what the russians had to say, but that he did not expect a breakthrough, but that no one say he didn't try to seize every opportunity that was given to him . and you know, there's a sort of ominous cloud over these talks that are happening on valuation soil. they were welcomed into the room there and told they shouldn't feel for their safety because alexander lucas and the president would not launch any attacks from his saw while these talks go long. but at the same time, he was announcing the results of a snap referendum that approve the lifting of the nuclear status of valerie. that

essentially paves the way for rush needs to be deployed to barrows. if this whole thing escalates as people fear it might, and their suggestions, he may be willing and ready to throw his forces in with the russians on the russian side in the conflict as it goes on. suggesting that on the rational validation side, there are pretty low expectations here as well. and all the while the fighting goes on simple as that, isn't it general across ukraine? yes, it does. start with a capital key. key of is still standing. of course that is something to be said for it and it's extraordinary thing to be said for it. after 5, it's 5 days of what's been going on there, but the russian in sacrament of the city goes on. there are still possible routes out of the south, but there's a big convoy heading up from the south potentially to plot plugged that gap and everybody expects any time now a really fierce from bottom and on the capitol. as russia becomes apparently frustrated with the slow pace of movement, perhaps its force is broke down,

meeting greater resistance than they fear. what major development to tell you about . in the last couple of hours, last few hours of pictures circulating now very widely on social media of some pretty appalling looking attacks in the northeast and suburbs of keys. the eastern city, the 2nd biggest city and ukraine, very apparent from the pictures that grad rockets have been fired into, heavily populated civilian areas of the northeast of that city. you can clearly see secondary explosion that indicate the use across the munitions. the ukrainian side is talking about dozens of people killed many, many more, perhaps hundreds injured in that and that use a cluster weapons, not the 1st time. i mean, amnesty international has already called in the international court of justice to investigate rushes use of cluster munitions. in what they described as crimes against humanity, appalling development happening right now in hark. even these. thank you. jonah

hall. in the beef in the west. we head out to the east. now. hotel bill. hm. ada correspondent ah, in me pro. there she is in mad eastern, great still at the railway station, nevada. yeah, i'm still at the railway station. i've been here all day really watching people trying to get out of here as quick as possible. and you know, i've just been listening to jonah describing what's happening in harvey. well, after duddy, that i've been, i interviewed yesterday, a young teenager from heart of heave. she lives in that north east part of this city. and she was telling me that she was okay. and that the, all the, the explosions that she described them were happening in another part of the city. and she was finding herself to calm down of friends and to tell them down soon, meet all at school. well, that changed completely. today. i will been on the phone with her the whole day.

she lives in that neighborhood. her and her mother were given a few hours to evacuate. and to go to a hotel, a bit more central and she's trying to get out of clarity to come here to ne bra. and this is a train station where she's going to try to come to not only her, we met people, how come at tours, which is on the other sound, the eastern flank of the need for a river in donates region. the ultimate game of all this war, people are coming here and trying to make their way out when you ask them, where are you going? they say anywhere. the mobility border to romanian border to polish border to hungarian border where ever we can reach we will go to and are they able to get out harder? i'm just looking at the numbers of people behind you, the it looks calm than it was perhaps when the assaults 1st started. are they getting out? well, it's complicated. i mean there is a train to just survive now,

so people are trying to get on it. the tickets are for free, but there's a lot of people and we've spoken to bit to some who had been coming here for the past 2 days. you know, among does not only ukraine is you have a lot of foreign students who study a nipper. we met people from gun off of nigeria. we so some asians walking around the it's, it's complicated. there's no tickets. you just have to grab and try to go. in the midst of all that, a heart wrenching situation of fathers saying good bye to their children, to their wives, to their mothers. men have to stay here or have to stay at least in the country. so many doesn't even make sense to go to the border, because then they'll find themselves all alone, at least here they stay at home. so you have all of that happening and when you ask them, when are you going to come back? when are you going to see your family again? no one has the answer for that. no one knows when they come back. this city will

still be, as it is now, fairly peaceful, even though the air sirens have been going on for quite a while or not others coming from don't yet. and no guns region, they don't have to ever go to go back home because they don't know if the separatist will take full control of that area, which is what the separate does want. and so they don't want to live there. so they don't know where they're going to be. they don't know, they're going to be refugees for the rest of their lives. are they going to come here and live somewhere else? i met people who had left already didn't yes. and against region after 2014. and they said it hasn't been easy for them to live in the rest of the country. simply because sometimes people point a finger, them telling them that all of this, all of this word has been long, sluggish of war at, at some point. but all of this escalation is because of people living in those regions. it is an extremely difficult situation. if they get on the tray, it's a long journey. it's a difficult journey. if they can get on that train,

they might want to take the road and that's them also a very dangerous journey. they can't be on the road at night. they need to find shelter and they need to stagger that ride. and during those days with such a fluid situation, such a volatile situation, you don't know where the front line you don't know where to rushes. i advancing phone either no way to ukrainians a movie. it's a, it's really difficult to be a civilian trying to flee out of ukraine these days. hot abdul hamid. great reporting there on the on the bad grim reality for people and ukraine at the moment . thanks. hata. let's what now that the united states announcing additional sanctions against russia's central bank. can you move, which prohibits americans from doing any business with the bank as well as freezing any of its assets that i held within the united states. let's go to the white house . kimberly hancock. good morning. take us through the details on this one. eli certainly captured the headlines there. this happening in just the last hour. the

us treasury announcing the latest in a series of incremental steps against the russian federation, the latest, the russian central bank, as well as the russian direct investment fund or sovereign fund being targeted in terms of the latest round of sanctions. what. c does this mean? this means that the russian federation in these terms of these 2 different entities can no longer do business in the united states, and specifically can no longer do business in dollars, which of course is one of the major world currencies for financial transactions. now, as well when it comes to any russian assets in dollars in the united states, again, those assets now frozen. and this is the latest in a series of sanctions that have been rolling out in the last week or so. you'll recall over the weekend that the united states announced that there was the isolation of

a number of russian banks from the swift transaction or financial system. this is the ability of banks to transact between banks in a rather swift fashion, very quickly in terms of moving money. and then you'll recall previously that vladimir putin, himself, as well as a number of russian oligarchy and banks, again, hint with sanctions, their assets frozen in the united states. so this is an example of how the united states in coordination with its partners and allies, is continuing to ratchet up the pressure on vladimir putin, the russian president, as well as the wealthy oligarchy. and the, the, the banks that they do business with inside of russia. now, to that end, we know that the u. s. president joe biden will continue his coordination with partners at allies that will be happening in the coming hours. he will be having another phone call as they continue to consult, not just with events on the ground,

but these financial sanctions that we should point out have just gone into effect effective immediately. and here is why they want to make sure that this happens before the u. s. markets open that is happening in the next hour or so. because guess why? they want to make sure that nobody can move their money in time for these to take effect as a whole ballet isn't it. okay, thank you for that. kimberly. how could our white house correspondent with developments from the u. s. staying in the u. s. were heading to new york now his bobby go shave bloomberg. opinion columnist with us on stuck in above it. you think it was you? yeah. you had a twitter discussion. i think it was 5 days ago now saying will sanctions hold, potions advance in ukraine? i would have thought 5 years or 5 days ago. no, i must admit, i opened the question with guests as while thinking is this going to do anything? now? it's like a slow sort of strangle hold on the russian economy and that will filter down to the russian people who one like that. yes, the question over whether or not sanctions would work was always was always based

on the idea of whether or not of the, the west, the united states in particular, over the west in general would apply the full force of the sector and 5 days ago as you right, is that there was some skepticism about whether the full force would indeed be brought to bear on russia and on foot. and there was a fear that because of europe's concerns about fuel, about exports, that they might only go with sort of some marginal sanctions. but it turns out that europeans are, and the americans are actually, we're, we're not bluffing their, we're really willing to go home. and as you say, we're now seeing real pain being inflicted russian stock market has collapsed. the rubel has collapsed, but stock market didn't open today monday because there's been such a route. the other thing that's happening that we haven't really looked into to close, which is a reputation or damage that it's, that's being done to russia and the impact of the sanctions on other things. for instance, b p is designing, offload. it's in this big joint venture in russia. now

b, p 's, willing to take a right down off $25000000000.00. that's a huge chunk of money that they're willing to walk away from, essentially, because they don't want to be associated with russia. russia is now a pariah in the world economy. not only is it been blocked at various parts of that economy with these later sanctions, but even where there are not actual blockages. right now, they're not actual sanctions. right now you're going to find it very, very hard to do business. nobody wants to do business with the russian because of the reputation of damage that they will have. a question then becomes bobby, how long can russia slash president person hold on here? president person will have prepared for this. he will have known sanctions were coming. there will be some sort of war chest there. but in the meantime, ukraine still gets attacked. so that just gets, you know, prolonged and you wonder will how long can 81 hold on?

well, that's the, that's the key thing. how much pain is put and willing to bet. it's not about ordinary russians when you're, when you have a leader like with an an autocrat, it's down to his individual state of mind. it wasn't the russians who sort of pressed for a war in ukraine. it was bloody mer put it. and put in himself. seems willing to endure quite a lot of pain for his people, not so much for himself. i and the real fear is now that the bane is beginning to be be felt that he may be he may want to ratchet up. he may want to hit harder, you're going and we've seen even today, while there's supposedly negotiations about sci fi, into english on the border with bell roost. the, the rocket attacks on khaki have escalated dramatically. so if it is entirely possible that before things get better, they will get an awfully lot worse. tell me more about the russian people in the situation. they find themselves and bobby, i mean, we focus on stock markets. ah,

transactions being done and us dollars, sanctions on oligarchy and banks. how does all of this filter down to the every day russian person? well, that it's hard to know what russians exactly feel, because it's so hard to get accurate. pulling out a rush, and i'm ready to start, rush and know from experience not to talk too much to court holsters, particularly russian bosses because they're worried about expressing themselves free. but there are plenty of other indications. i'm russians are. there's a run on dollars. russians a queuing up to try and get their hands on foreign guns at it's not a good size. a rock. there are sporadic eruptions off anti war protests and all sorts of places including st. petersburg, hooton's own hometown in a country where any kind of protest involved enormous risk, the fact that people are willing to go out into the streets and call for an end to war. the just a very, very strong feeling. and then of course,

we are hearing in social media as well, from russians who are able to express themselves. there seems to be a sense among the russians that they're being dragged into this war. not a bad choosing. it does not have the same level of support and nationalistic fervor that we saw in 2014, when, when put into crimea from ukraine. this is seen very much as a war of choice and not a war. and the, the potent narrative that this is a war that was imposed on russia does not seem to really be working up the ordinary russians do not seem to be buying into that. but it goes from bloomberg a pleasure talking to you. thank you for your time. appreciate it. at the united nations is now estimate more than half a 1000000 people have already left their homes in ukraine. un human rights cancel us holding a debate on russia's military invasion. and you and leaders are calling for a return to diplomacy. the escalation of military operations by the russian

federation, ukraine is leading to escalating human rights violations. we know the inevitable result of what civilian casualties, women, children, men, force from their homes, hunger, poverty, and huge economic disruption. conflict is the utter negation of human rights across the boards. fillum of expression is under attack. with reports of journalists and activists, interested, i have consistently called for the end of the offensive and the return to the best of dialogue and diplomacy. meanwhile, all human rights modified a mission in ukraine. this continuing its work and already met italian agencies will step up their operations. we must show all people in ukraine that we stand by them in their time of needs to go to step barson, easton, poland is where she is ukrainians crossing that border. what sort of numbers dizzy coming through that step? well,

it's sheer desperation here at the border with the ukraine. this is supposed to be the busiest crossing and as you can see, it only trickles in very, very, painfully slow because there's a huge traffic jam or the other side of the border. estimations of like 3040 kilometers long just right behind me. people trying to cross, we hear stories really desperate stories of people who are waiting here for their relatives. daughters with grand children who have been stuck in traffic in a car for 3 or 4 days already. foods running out water was running out to have of course no sanitation, really awful difficult situation. people really desperately trying to get out more than 300000 have managed to get out of your brain so far. they are now not only here in poland, but also in romania hungry, emerald over different countries. but so many are still stuck in there. and we just spoke to a man, a young man. and i,

jerry and students who traveled from keith took him 5 days to arrive at the border . he was still in shock about what he saw. have a listen. i came from keith, i'm from keith. we had to pick trend from give to khaki. then this interim brothels to live. so from live, if i, to boss my, my, what i wanted to think bulls from live to the border between you, korean, and holland. but they so many cars on the way. so the da boss stopped us on the way . and i trick by fruit for 3 hours. well, our child stalled us as well is that he saw that bodies on the way. he sat, the last part when the boss couldn't drive any further to the border. they had to get out of the bus. he walked for 12 hours to get away. he sat thousands and

thousands of other people and he actually saw bodies on the streets in, in the forest covered by a blanket, he sat these people, he sat, died of a cold, of exhaustion. we can't confirm his story. we don't have any images of this, but he told us he saw it with his own eyes, and he was still really very much in shock. and we haven't heard any humanitarian organizations reporting about that on the way out of ukraine. but of course, we are in the 5th day after the invasion by russia and people have been traveling all that time 5 days trying to get out of the country. so of course, the situation is getting done more and more dire by the hour. step awesome. ah, joining us from the polish board. ok, thanks step. a little bit of other news for you this monday, and there are fears from scientists that the conflict in ukraine will actually overshadow the release of the climate report. that's been called an atlas of

suffering by the united nations. ukraine's author was forced to take cover and bomb shelters during the final approval process off the intergovernmental panel on climate change report. the i p. c. c. on global warming. on varmint, edison nick clark has more the air is just 2 months old, already catastrophe in argentina. as a scorching heat wave sparks raging wildfire. deadly landslides devastate brazil's historic mountain town of metropolis. events like this together with ongoing droughts, floods, and super storms. all the new climate normal and it's only going to get worse unless something is done fast. so says a hurrying climate report that lays out how civilization has accelerated, the decline of nature at the expense of humanity and ecosystems. and that adaptation is urgently required, especially in the global so it is about building our salience being prepared for

worse things to come. you know, how can we stop and limit the impacts of climate change that you know happening now and will happen further in the future. and so investment in adaptation is, is solely needed because go last year. well, lead is vow to scale back on the use of fossil fuels, but in fact, the complete opposite has happened. emissions as soaring as global demand for energy, has increased with economies bouncing back from the effects of the pandemic. oil and gas prices have spiraled despite promises. banks are investing heavily, particularly in coal. if we move out of polluting fossil fuels such as coil and gas industry clean renewable energy sources, such as wind solar, we will cut emissions and limited global temperature rises. and as i say back you, chance for adaptation missions to work with a world rightly focused on the crisis in ukraine. this latest climate report

emphasizes global warming as a fundamental long term threat that cannot be ignored. but the site shows it can be stopped in its tracks. if humanity cuts emissions to 0, time is running out. the clock al jazeera, much more in the current weather situation. his jeff hello welcome to your world's weather report right off the bat. we're going to begin in australia where it has been raining for days here. so this is right along the border with queensland and new south wales, and this is historic flooding. we've never seen levels like this before. the good news is on tuesday. the bulk of that precipitation now pushing out towards sea, but still getting striked with some pretty solid bands of rain. for sidney. with a hive 26, got to talk about what is likely to re intensify this site clone here. once again, over the kimberly region and it's going to ring out its moisture over broom, which of course we do not need this area soft flooding,

not too long ago. okay. after new zealand, some showers for the south island working their way across north island. more sunshine here gets bins. got a high of 20 degrees off to southeast asia, the malay peninsula, parts of it anyway, saw about 11 times their monthly february rainfall average with this band of rain. that's now giving sundry down ports of the nick bar and adam and islands. now for the philippines southern parts we've upgraded to the flood advisory, we're now talking about a severe flood advisory for minute now. and we'll end this weather report with a slug of rain moving across the yangtze river valley shooting out toward these, trying to see. and that's going to play southern japan in the days to come. i could jeff, after the break, we returned to the war in ukraine. there is tension on the tarmac as the european union shots, its ad space to russian plains. we are not in guns to play with, and the team from russia consisting to players russian players and that is the

polish for all association telling all to 0. they remain adamant are not playing russia in the world cup player. ah, join the debate, they a ratio of like people from the american and global story was very powerful on an online ad, your voice. the comment section is right here. join our conversation. we had all protected when everyone is protected. it is not to play. being nationalistic about those, you just look at it in a very different way, said that perspective, men and men meeting each other and they don't have any solution. let me get booted clear for you. this dream on al jazeera from the world's most populated region in den and untold stories across asia and the pacific. to discover the current events with diverse coaches

and conflicting politics. one 0, one east. on al jazeera. ah the. this is the news from al jazeera, with continuing coverage of the russia ukraine war. and there are talks on the way between ukrainian or russian delegates the border with fellow roost. it is the 1st time they've met since russia invaded ukraine last thursday. but those talks going on as explosions continue to be heard around the country. there are reports of intensified shilling in the city of them yet. another residential building of hip

is time in turn, the here and it's early morning in the us where they've been additional sanctions against russia. central bank move bonds, americans from doing any business, the bank freezes its assets held in the united russia for its part says its forces are fighting relentlessly. the defense ministry is appealed to civilians to leave the capital, keith will go out. it was it that his belief of ukrainian authority declared martial law urging civilians to remain at their homes, confirms their keen on using them as human shields their rumors. the russian, reconnaissance and sabotage teams are working and key is, in fact the nationalist gangs and marauders are taken care of because they were given weapons by the green. you know, thirties were appealing to kids population to leave the city on a certain road that we can guarantee safe passage. i want to retreat that russian troops are only hitting military targets. let's hear from our reporter charles

stratford in negro, who explains what is behind the latest claims by the russian forces. with respect to this news of a nuclear plant being taken control of by russian forces that is in the town of and they will go down in south parisha region. now the ukrainians have said that that is holes. they saying that they are still in control of this nuclear plant, that policies on the south side of the denise river south from where we all here. we were in the upper over the last couple of days. and certainly the ukrainian military then telling us that they believe that the russians were as close as a 35 kilometers away from the south of zap parisha. we understand that there has been no showing in the city so far. also the claim by the russian ministry of defense, as quoted in the interim or by, into facts that the naval town of better dance is now under russian control. again,

we cannot independently confirmed that, but all evidence would suggest that that would not be unfeasible. we were in burdens 2 or 3 days ago. the naval base there had emptied out all navy personnel had run away after. so we were told by our associates getting straightened by the russian navy that they were going to bomb the port. and interestingly, the further west we hated from bare dancing. we got wind of a russian tangled convoy that was moving towards us from the city of mel. it's a full manageable is in russian hands. pare down the sky significant because he is getting incredibly close now to the very important and large port city with a naval base of mariel pal. now, i've spoken to somebody inside marable, today, a journalist that we know is still there. he indeed is getting reports that tank column is moving close to the western section of the city. he reported heavy shelling and heavy machine gun 5 this morning in the city. now. it's the 1st time

that he's heard heavy machine gun fire in the city. we were in my report until a couple of days ago. there was no fighting inside the city then, but there was a lot of shilling in the east. he says that that shilling has continued to the east of merrill as well. so, huge concerns there for the hundreds of thousands of people inside marable. matthew chronic with us now the director all studies at the atlantic council in washington d. c. thanks for your time, matthew. what charles is reporting on there is other than the russians talking up. what they are achieving, but it seems to be a view that this is not going as well as you might have thought it would for the russians 5 days. and what's your take? yes, i think that's right. it's really remarkable. i think that russia has stalled and it's military advance, i think, who was hoping for decisive invasion and regime change. and he's getting bogged

down this topler. and then more or the rest of the world is really rally against russia. and we've seen remarkable developments there. the sanctions that are really crushing the russian economy, germany agreeing to drastically increase defense spending many countries providing arms of ukrainians. so i think right now from president. ready point of view, this is not going as did we, i'm using that very general. we turn. did we underestimate the ukrainians and their ability to fight back? i think many people did. i think many people thought that given that russia is still a major military power. ukraine relatively small comparison, that this would be an easy military operation for you know, if we thought about it a little bit, we know that invading another country is not, not united states. ringback it had difficulty with iraq and afghanistan over

many years and seems like maybe doing something similar here. i hope that we soon, but it's possible that this could be a conflict that goes on for, for many years. it was all about sanctions to start with. and there was a lot of questions as well. sanctions don't exactly stop missiles do they? but they have that effect of almost strangling the russian economy. and meanwhile, as you pointed out, the west is piled with its support that support from the west. can you sort of explain the logistics of it, how it gets in there? how quickly as opposed to the sanctions all that aid in military i can be effectively used. well the military aid is being provided to the ukrainians is exactly the kind of capabilities that needs to deal with russia. so exciting are anti air missiles, shoot down russia plans and helicopters, and they're already been many reports of been working effectively on the

battlefield. it's javelin anti tank missiles to destroy russian. and again, many reports of these missiles were, some of these are capabilities that were provided before the invasion. now that the invasion is taking place, it is more complicated to get these papers there. but there still are brown borders between the ukraine where, where they can get across and so they're boxed and they can be shipped relatively quickly. it is more difficult because of you know, like i said, this is a conflict going on for some time. and so continuing to provide those shipments will continue to be helpful, matthew, at the risk of speculation and goodness, and as we do that a lot. but what are your concerns? do you have concerns about a nuclear option? you know, early in the pace, vladimir putin said they'll be, you know,

if you come after us, they'll be a response like you've never seen before. the bell russians are getting involved now and saying, yeah, we can have nuclear arms on our soil as well. do you think that is a real threat? well, i think it is a real threat, but we also shouldn't overestimated. this is really russian military strategy to back conventional aggression with nuclear threats. russian experts write about it. essentially, their assumption is that western leaders, republics are very afraid of nuclear weapon. and so the russians threaten nuclear escalation, the west will quickly. so i think what he wants us to do now is to be scared to be cautious to dial back our supports of ukrainians. and i think that would be a mistake. i think essentially this is a, a big block of it wants us to worry about nuclear war and we shouldn't give them

the satisfaction we shouldn't curtail our support to the ukrainians. because i do think at the end of the day, it's very likely who's actually uses nuclear weapons over. that's ok. matthew created to, sorry. did i get that right? is it crane ego? chronic crating. that's great. got it. right, excellent. thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it. my pleasure. now, to another aspect of this war, african and indian students stuck in ukraine and they're accusing officials of discrimination and stopping them get into the border videos posted on social media to ship like people being prevented from boarding a train. and the strand of it, a railway station in the while ukrainians relied on as i said, they were turned back from a border. and the show in this video, indian student claim ukrainian gods on the border with poland, beat them up, and didn't allow them to cross tens of thousands of international students have

been stuck in ukraine. the will starters melia malik is with us now executive director of protect education in insecurity in conflict with us here in dough hot to day on skype, albeit money a thank you for your time that these particular situations that are going on. some of it is on verified and certainly no one and any government is, is saying what's going on or why it's going on. but it does. first of all, tell us that there's a lot of immigrants in ukraine for the education system there. can you expand on that a little bit more? yes, my understanding and from the report that we had to send, this is quite a large number of foreign international students to the ukraine. and how to lot of them are from countries like india or sri lanka. and the reason for that might be that ukraine has a relatively robust a higher education system, but that the fee structure is slightly more affordable. some students from those

countries that that might be an explanation for the large number of students from novelist and countries accessing higher education in crane this time, tragically and stranded then at the desk. so your group has cult protect education insecurity and conflict. how on earth you do that on a that's a very big question there, but when there is a war going all night this, i mean, there are just so many vulnerable groups on their yes sir. and, you know, the, the absolute principle is that, you know, even during conditions of or an art conflict, what we went into as, as a, as a program, as an advocacy group is despite the fact a whole and war is always a tragedy. as we seen on voting from to law screams, you can still uphold certain yours. you can still oppose human values. and what we advocate is that in particular, international humanitarian law, which is the,

the rules that everyone, including all the, all the belligerent parties to the conflict in crane about, bye. it's national, i'm telling you is the system improves that we advocate that we were committed to, that makes sure that the impact of all of conflict of violence on human beings is minimized. so although, although states and non state actors may be at war, it is possible to uphold human fathoms that occur values by doing our best to safeguard the lives of civilians. absolutely, an infrastructure field fly. i mean, the so many potential long term impacts of this war. but if we're looking from an education point, if you, you know, a generation can sort of be lost to that you can lose a whole, just as we've had with the pandemic as well, a whole number of years of children don't get their education. yeah. and actually a very good analogy, i think is, is the conflict and syria. i mean,

who would have thought, well, conflict and syrian started that we knew we'd be, would be tragically see 10 years of the conflict. and what all the data suggests is that we've seen a huge drop in literacy because before the all and syria had a in a been within the region had high did to see rates are comparatively, what we've seen is a huge drop in the to silly. see not just one, probably you know, in 2 generations that are going to be lost. similarly in ukraine, the attacks on education, we're really going to the, the trend of attacks and schools ministries of schools use of, of explosive weapons and schools. i was high, high, it's remained high between 20182020. and now we see that, you know, all bets are off about what's going on and yesterday. so for a tragic incident, which was reported by amnesty international about the use of a cluster bomb that was dropped on a preschool building or when children and adults with was seeking refuge so. so yes,

begin to see, begin to see at students been killed. they go to see teachers been killed and maimed. am i going to see huge infrastructure, disgust, destruction, of the education system and grain it's, it's a real tragedy or what missing unfolding. but i just to go back to original question. according to a do we do? we do have certain ways in which we can make an argument that despite the fact that there is an conflict in ukraine, there are certain absolute limits and then all parties, belligerent parties to the conflict, should, should respect. and i think it's very important my, her message are malaria, malick, i'm so sorry. i'm gonna have to interrupt you. i've got alive news event to take out the you as to this is the foreign minister of ukraine. dimitra collaborate with our country. it said, well intellectual go about the chechens. yes, we had chechens with tags and there was all of them killed. and

dab tanks tied to the destroyed it's a. ready new police, ukrainian, israeli police, not so you turn away the cranium is coming to israel. i'm not sure if we have a reply because i haven't some of the tasks have to work every minute. but i can tell you that many countries in the world of the visa requirements for the citizens being canceled the bug and shimmy neighbors. literally open that board of the letting in children and women her hiding from the trying to escape from russian rockets. i mean, we use the incredibly loyal treatment of ukrainian citizens. so

if it's a l. m will, will refuse to help ravages that will be on the conscience. katie are all a full long i so thank you everyone. and i'll say for more time, bruce, you to brief main buds which actually made made sedated briefing make to, to stop the war. thank you. pretty simple message there, isn't it? make boot and stop the war says to meet you, can i but the ukraine foreign minister. unfortunately, we came in a little bit late home that i suspect he was maybe asking or answering your question from an israeli journalist because that last answer was particularly about that. but also referring to the fact that there are so many countries taking in, particularly the women and children of ukraine at this time, as the men stay behind to find. so that was the ukraine. foreign minister. ok, let's move on. on sunday, turkey, it began calling rushes a sold on ukraine, a war,

and it said it would execute an international pac restricting use of the turkish straits. this is the 1936 montrose convention. it gives turkey control over 2 important waterways. you've got the down and else for the south and the boss risk straits a little bit further north. there is the context as it takes you from the black sea out to the mediterranean, through a mom or as the units. of course, the base for rushes, black sea fleet, which has been used to target ukraine, southern kinds of important waterways. the montreaux pac allows to do closed those straits to foreign war ships in times of war. all, when threatened, with an exception it, a warship is returning to its own port than that passage cannot be prevented. but the turkish foreign minister, if it covers you with this right, shouldn't be abused. so ships that are allowed to pass back to their basis shouldn't be well going on. and then in joining a war, more in this decision from turkey with them because you in assemble. turkey is

dependent on energy imports from russia. and turkey is dependent on wheat imports from both russia and ukraine as both 2 countries. a provide at least 88 to 5 per cent of the wheat imports to turkey. and besides turkey and ukraine had, have some defense industry agreements as turkey has sold those famous a tv too, uh drones to the ukranian army. and those drones have been actively use by the ukrainian military against the russian military. doing all this conflicts as the since the war started a couple of days ago and a geopolitically, a turkey and russia, and have a strategic partnership when it comes to syria. because in northern syria, especially in the, at the, in the, in the, the escalations on both countries are a doing joint patrols and also in libya there's the same thing. and in cut, a bar between armenian as ave job. there is the same,

a partnership with between turkey and russia. can it be named as the allies? i'm not sure, but there is a strong partnership. it with it. i'm turkey has a strong partnership with both countries. rushes retaliated now with its own air space span after numerous countries, close barriers both to russian craft, 35 countries, and no longer able to use russia, including the u. k. germany to be in canada, the european union band airlines like air plot. thank you. crime with invaded his john strickland independent transport consulting because the restrictions will for an airline supply a longer period. we saw over the space to russian aircraft on monday. and it was pretty what an average of all that was going to extend to states within the u. and indeed, possibly, of course, one has also happened. it's been, it's been retaliation by russians each time at western european countries close to

space to russia. airlines, there's been the same response by russian authorities to the use of space by european characters. the main operator receives from russia is and flocks having a number of europe destinations and i see pans gave me to place that options for movement around you reduced it is pretty well 0 right now. so while initially they may have to on a long securities routing on some destinations, if it weren't outright bad looking at the way around, which is more significant. european airlines who also found because it was difficult place space to those countries because grocery carriers have the impact of not simply flying to russia, but really significant point is russia. headspace being closed, prohibits the use of russian flight for many services between europe and asia.

large number 3 flights, nobody operated ticket markets like china, japan, for our goal. ordinarily, that would be a significant commercial hit to those western european allies. it's significantly less moment very simply because since the kind of ours pandemic, which of course is ongoing loss cost of asia, everybody know, these china, china is closed due to commercial net tropical hostages. says that volume asked the traffic is $50.00 benefit or is it all on? and i rather just to underline this, i want to show you really quickly. flight flight right are 24 over at western europe. you see all the planes there, the small yellow plains and as we head for the east, a great big black haul basically of ukraine. isn't it? no one's flying over there and around as well. bella roost, eastern pots or western parts of russia as well. and up to lithuania,

all these airlines just giving that area of your a very, very wide booth sport is coming up for you on this news. ours v thir imposes sanctions on russia, but many international federations want more action taken. we'll hear from the polish f a in just a moment. a examining the impact of today's headlines. there are threats to peace and security that don't appear on the tv screen. it's setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. thousands of palestinians being displaced in having that homes destroyed in that land unexplained international filmmakers. m won't class journalists bring programs to inform and inspire you. climate has to become part of the way we tell stories on al jazeera lou.

poland had already refused to play russia in their wild cut place in moscow next month. and this dance hasn't changed. as command mentioned, we spoke to jacobi give it caski from the polish football association. you told us the team won't be taking to the field against the russians under any circumstances . this is our position that we are not intend to play with. and the team from russia consisting the players, rush on players and the regardless the name of the team. and regardless of the grant where it is going to be dismissed proper, you know, people special command which is called human rights policy. we want that before we show that this document is more than just the word some paper, and now is the time to put it into practice by excluding the rush on football association from the qualified to workup. and we expressed this position to finding out what a lot of that was sent yesterday. and in addition,

we sent and statement to all the federation in europe and few far. and in this letter we called up for solid, fully, that i didn't support to to other position. thank you. kosky was safer to kick rush out of the tournament. but if they thank, he says poland, a fully prepared to give up a potential place of capital 2022. first of all, we don't care about the consequences, to be honest. in our opinion, it is not ask, should bear the consequences of our decision, but the someone else. and then we feel a great support from our funds. we sheila, great support from a whole lot. we are receiving thousands of messages from the funds, all of all around the world, and they praise our decision and the what is more important. the polish fans see the polish national team, the winner to day. according to them, we have already won the word,

even if we will not be able to play in cut our for our from fast, we are already winners. we also ask you to call see what he would say to those who argue that russians shouldn't be punished. for what that government is doing, of course was discrepancy now, because of this war, this is not the fault of the russian players or a russian football fans. but to this progressive escalation that we can see and the constant effect from russia military authority, great. russia must meet with a strong condemnation of the work and the people of russia must understand that the putting is insane idea have an impact on their life as well. and therefore, i emphasize that it was the only right decision to have made. it was a very tough decision for us, but the, because of the circumstances, football,

it's not the most important thing in the world right now. and that's why we have decided that we are not going to compete with russia. chelsea russian ida raymond abram of it is reportedly and deliveries to help with peace aux between russia and ukraine. a spokesman for a prime of it. she has links to a lot of their putin says the 1000000000 i was contacted by ukrainian officials to assist with. she ations chelsea's players took part of the show support for ukraine out of the lee cup final match against liverpool. both teams claps that funds held up ukrainian flags. liverpool when, when the tracy 1110 on the penalties in portugal talk, division ukraine. international romano young chip was moved to tears by the patient from the speaker phone me. so i came off the bench and was given the captains on band with times and according him while expressing support with the 4 days to go into the winter parlour picks in bay,
