9:00 pm
realm, i just got away. i'm telling the story about my life is going to take 50 future to do a don't so bad with you. deep award winning documentary. witness on out his era. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, you're wanting the news, our life from a headquarters in del, how i'm dirty and abigail coming up in the next 60 minutes fighting intensifies in the ukrainian capital and other parts of the country is russia, continues its assaults, talks between delegations from moscow and kiev wrap up with the possibility of a 2nd round of negotiations to come, these escalating violence, which is resulting in civilian deaths including children. you totally unacceptable
9:01 pm
. enough, is enough. a call for russia to stop the war in ukraine. the un general assembly holds a special session to discuss moscow's assaults, plus half a 1000000 people flee ukraine to escape the fighting. and that number could reach 7000000, but some foreign students say they're being prevented from leaving. i'm john, gosh roscoe with the sports as fee for suspend russian teams from all international football competitions over the countries invasion of ukraine, including this. she is welcome. ah, here are the news. our and talks had been held between russia and ukraine as fighting intensifies for 5th day delegations from keven moscow met on the border with bella, rues, ukraine has demanded an immediate cease fire, and the withdrawal of all russian groups,
9:02 pm
including from crimea. moscow says it's seeking an agreement that benefits both sides, all delegations are now returning to their capitals for further consultations. john hall is joining us from leave, so no surprise that we didn't get a break there at these talks, joe, now, but tell us what happens next. no surprise indeed that we haven't had a break through. none was particularly expected. there's no sign that either side has moved their goal posts. as it were, the 2 delegations came out of 5 hours of talks, saying the russian and ukrainians sides have identified some priority topics on which they have outlined certain certain decisions. they will not leave for their capitals for consultations with the possibility of returning per 2nd round. it isn't clear what those priorities topics may be or what ground they may potentially have found in common. but the ukrainian side, where they're looking for an immediate cease fire and the immediate withdrawal of russian troops, they have not and will not get that. and the russian side,
9:03 pm
where they're looking for guarantees about ukraine's neutrality, that it would never join nato, looking for the recognition of crimea annex from ukraine in 2014. they won't recognize that that is russian land. they want the demilitarization and so called the knots, if a cation of the country this concept part of an internal. so the criminal narrative brought up the beginning of this invasion. and as i said neutrality that came out of a talk, a phone call between president putin and president macro that was going on concurrent with these talks. that's how we know that the russians haven't moved their red lines. as i said, not a great deal to hope for here, not a great deal to see who knows whether they might be back for another round of talk soon. so seeing as there has been no agreements as you're saying, and particularly on the issue of a cease fire, it can, we expect more military movement on the ground as we saw throughout the day on monday, update us on the fighting and the situation on the ground the
9:04 pm
fighting is very much ongoing. the tempo is rising and rising quite fast this evening. trusted colleagues on the ground in our posting report all renewed attacks on the city of kia lodge explosions, founding that we don't know too much or anything. indeed, at this moment about the precise targets of those attacks, whether they are military infrastructure or civilian surface to air missiles, rising up lighting up the night sky. the sound of rush warheads of it. i mean, that tells you that ukraine's air defenses are still operational and the city continues as it has done for 5 days, putting out absolutely stored resistance as an encirclement. they didn't process, they've got rushing forces to the west to the north, a large number, a huge column, 3 and a quarter mile long, making its way up from the south and big, big escalations happening as well in the city of key that is the 2nd largest city
9:05 pm
in the country where they was during the course of the day, a tax on a heavily populated civilian neighborhood to the northeast of the center. the city of keith, very clear, very evident damage, large impacts of multiple load, rocket systems, evident use of cost of munitions as well on the ground, the ukrainians, talking about potentially thousands of death, hundreds of civilian injuries, an appalling set of attacks that this is a russian speaking city, it was the soviet capital of ukraine. it is probably the city friendliest towards russia, very close to the russian border. formerly, that is not any longer. alright, thank you so much john hall reporting from live even western ukraine. so despite the talks that you've been hearing people that endure another day of heavy fighting in cities across the country, dozens or reporter to have been killed or wounded in the 2nd biggest city car keys . and another residential building was hit inter and have him run con,
9:06 pm
wraps up the days development. great. you really the other, the one of them was the words of a man who refuses to back down. stay more, meet the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine. we stand strong. we live through that much over these days. what other people wouldn't experienced in decades? some diplomacy is taking place between russia and ukraine. a delegation met on the beller res border. the russians claimed the talks with detailed yaeger, so that even the negotiations lasted approximately 5 hours, during which time we went in detail through every point on the agenda. we found a few points that we can use as a prognosis about joint positions. and the most important is that we agree to continue the process of the negotiations. however, the ukrainian says the russians were holding on to biased and extremist positions. the use foreign policy chief said they'll do more to help you crane to defend itself. shorda this have
9:07 pm
a 1000000000 of you that will be devoted to provide defensive arms. what i calibre farms. anti thanks. all kinds of agreements in order to repel digression. but the destruction and the assault continues. tanks roll into call, keep ah missiles, the scene on the roads is fighter jets, fly the head. residents film, the damage east of car cave, near the russian border in easton, ukraine fuel tanks burn on the scene is repeated in albany, crane and will be over the coming days as both sides fight on m wrong con. observe . while the un secretary general has called for an end to the conflict, which he says could have disastrous implications. antonio terrace was speaking at a special session of the un general assembly. members are meeting to discuss a resolution to condemn brushes, invasion these escalating violence,
9:08 pm
which is resulting in civilian their st, including children is totally an acceptable enough. is enough. soldiers need to move back to their barracks and leaders need to move to piece. civilians must be protected. international humanitarian and human rights law must be upheld. the sovereignty independence at that it follow integrity of ukraine. within its international recognized borders must be respected in line with general assembly resolutions. use the presidents. we are facing a tragedy for ukraine, but also a major regional crazy, potentially disastrous implications for household ukraine's ambassador to the you. busy and compare the situation in caves to world war 2. we have been prompted to call for an emergency special session as the level of the strat to the global security has been equated to the,
9:09 pm
to that of the 2nd world war. or even higher following proteins order to put an alert russian nuclear forces. what, what a madness if he wants to kill himself, he doesn't need to use nuclear arsenal. he has to do what these say. what would the guy in, in berlin did in a bunker? in may? 1945 and russia's ambassador repeated his country's opposition to ukraine, becoming a member of nato machine. you, it is kind of just run you for us. your crane joining nato is a red line 1st and foremost from the military strategic level. the deployment of nato infrastructure in that country would compel us to adopt measures in response. and this has replace us at the verge of the conflict. and for this reason, in december of 2021, we proposed that agreements we arrived at with the us in nato for security
9:10 pm
reassurances to be provided due to russian federation. however, our extended hand was unceremoniously rebuffed by the americans and nato representatives. alaska analysis will learn to pull out a character, james baynes, he is joining us from brussels this time. so this emergency session, james will go on for the next few days. but so far, what you think the take away message has been on? what should we be looking out for well, most of the international community is trying to make a big case here. they failed in the security council, so they using the general assembly to try and make that case and they have a draft resolution. they want to pass with a large number of votes. it was interesting for me listening to the russian basset that depends. yeah. because he has been for the whole of february, quite remarkably, given his country and values another country. he's been the president of the
9:11 pm
security council. you heard his words there. let me just remind you what he said to me as he assumed the presidency of the security council just before he took up that very important role on 31st of january. he said, no russian politician or even a public figure ever said we are planning to attack ukraine. and then the following day on the 1st of february as he became president the security council, he said there will be no war. while we've moved so far away from those statements and remarkable, now when you hear what he's saying and what the russian narrative is, and you'll have more of that in the next 24 hours from the russian foreign minister . so k lab ross addressing the un human rights council by video link. and that's because he was trying to go there wanted to go that because we are exclusion orders . he can't make it to geneva for that meeting. so he will be addressing it by video link and where you are a james in brussels. there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity as well and the use top diplomat has been speaking
9:12 pm
. what did he have to say? what more on, on what is going to go on with regard to this very new thing for the you, they've never done this before. providing weapons to an active was own into a country under attack. we know that there's going to be about $500000000.00 more of the mass. in fact, gotta be spent. what they've been discussing today is exactly where they get it by the weapons from exactly what they're going to buy and how they're going to get it to ukraine. we haven't none of the details of that at this stage. the other thing that's worth talking about is presidents lensky, has signed an order, which he's sending to brussels, saying he wants to fall strike you membership for his country. that i'm sure we discussed among many other things a meeting going on in paris tonight, for example. and that's a meeting between the president, the commission, the president, europe, and council, the french president who currently has the presidency of the european union,
9:13 pm
the german chancellor. but it is worth saying to you, although very symbolic. the presidents sky is doing that, the procedure to join the european union is a very, very long drawn out. and there's no way ukraine will remember anytime soon. all right, thank you so much. that's the magic editor james base reporting from brussel. let's pick up on some of the points james was mentioning and bringing andre cursor. know if he's the director general of the russian international affairs council. he's joining us from moscow. welcome to al jazeera. let's turn our attention to, to the general assembly special session and, and as you know, of course, i mean, any resolution that comes out of the general assembly as non binding, but could carry some political weight as they do express the will of the wider un membership how closely do you think is pretend watching what happens at the general assembly? i think for wouldn't, it is important. does that to major or roches,
9:14 pm
so partners to will not support that of the lucian, if to look at the world to know in the security council of the united nation, sir. there were 3 countries we should abstain. der won't support, and these are quite critical of russia resolution. and these countries were china, india, and the united arab emirates. i think the term russia might support that bell, b a maybe 2 or 3 dozen of countries which are not likely to support. or there is a notion in the general assembly. right. so how do you think china, in particular, will vote in on this occasion? well, you know, china is there other be curious situation because i, i, it has good relations with moscow. it also has good relations with keith. it's a major trade in part north ukraine. it's a major investing you gain. so i think that china can condemn later for its expansion. it can condemn the united states for it's a large catch you monica aspirations, but it is not likely to take sides,
9:15 pm
so the russian ukrainian dispute. so russia can expect her some kind of a chinese neutrality, but arguably, not more than that. what about the sanctions that have been so far been announced on, on russia and some russian authorities, they seem to be increasing day by day it. do you think that, sir, they're putting any sort of pressure on the president putin? i think that does that to my, to have loan told me locations for our shop, but i don't think that it will really change the immediate trashes policy. quintinella is not the leader that yields under pressure, and he can only argue that the west is imposing sanctions, so on. oligarchs are by doing that. the west di is the health care meant to be nationalized, the national business elite, because these people will depend on the claim and more than they were before the
9:16 pm
sanctions were imposed. but is there any and there could be an argument made that in fact, these sanctions might create some sort of split among the oligarchy in the, in the, to could be against this war in the ukraine, in theater. yes. and there were a couple of dog brushy businessmen who have already spoken quite openly about a visa about that need to somehow somehow change and, and these conflict. but i don't think that it will have a direct impact on the rational foreign policy. i think that the oligarchs are not as important to natasha as they were. for example, 20 or 30 years ago. what do you think the end goal is here? for putin? well, i guess the adjustable law, he doesn't want that you came to be a member of the nature lines. he doesn't want to data to advance to gain militarily
9:17 pm
a 2nd or he wants to read said to a possible, you can political system. he believes that ukraine is dominated by the extreme or i talk in his a shows that to the not talk resent the majority of ukrainian population. and finally, probably he wants to ukraine to accept the, the, your jurisdiction of crimea, and maybe all the dot net scandals bounced republics. i think this is the m game. it doesn't mean that this is not necessarily the line to maybe he will equity on something less. but this is something that he would probably advance as his bargaining position. so a is this, the position then is his people are, are taking to the talks that have just ended now and the bell russian border and from what we understand there could be a 2nd round at some point because there was no breakthrough earlier today. well, we don't know the details of the negotiations which happened today,
9:18 pm
but of course the fact that they lasted for more than 5 hours. so he's a positive sign because you've day only exchanged official positions that wouldn't have lasted for so long. so there might be some progress, but definitely we cannot expect any breakthrough because as the starting point saw very far apart, definitely it's very difficult if possible, to reconcile the vision on the situation. and i also believe that both sides believe that that time is with them, that they can gain more if they wait a little bit more. okay, thank you so much for speaking to us from moscow. andre christina, we appreciate your time. and meanwhile, the by the russian president, alexander looked shanker, was threatening to ask for nuclear weapons to be sent from russia. and this comes after voters approved a change to the constitution ending the countries non nuclear status. because shank
9:19 pm
says he'll take the stuff if the west transfer his nuclear weapons to poland or lithuania, the law change me in such weapons can be on beller, russian soil for the 1st time. since the fall of the soviet union. let's the bringing mark finnow, who's the head of the arms for liberation with the geneva center for security policy. that's the thing that focuses on piece on security is also a former french diplomat. joining us from geneva, welcome to al jazeera sir. so how significant is this referendum to allow nuclear weapons to be stations on beller russian soil for the 1st time in a really long time? is this a worrying development? yes, it's follow the worrying series of developments, of course, because barriers very close to russia. it's probably the only country that could in can count on. and as you recall, the country when the soviet union collapsed, inherited some of the former soviet,
9:20 pm
what going on is in the territory just like a grain on and those we were transferred to russia in the case of ukraine. it was don in exchange for security guarantees. from russia, russia would not return to ukraine, and this was done in the you called me miranda. and that as we can see, this has been under seen violations here attack. now, in a case of better us, it's part of, you know, system of thread down or explicit threats more directed to nature than to ukraine itself. now it's, it's a very, of course, very sensitive and very dangerous game that russia is playing by raising these risk of the problem and,
9:21 pm
and use of nuclear weapons in, in the case of ukraine. right? so we know, and we are learning a little bit more as the days go on of bella, roosters role in the war and ukraine. and even earlier this evening at the un general assembly to you and bassett, or to the un condemned in the strongest form. not only russia, but bela bruce's involvement in the war. and what is the, how do you explain bella versus involvement at this point? well, initially, as you know, there is try to play a mediating role course under strong pressure or direction from moscow. and that led to the so called ministry agreement, we're supposed to have so the ukraine would be the risk of
9:22 pm
separation from the 2 easton provinces. now, based on this history, now that russia are completely shifted in spicy and are led to this ready to re occupation an invasion. paris has almost no choice, but to take part in this operation. and he had actually hosting a part of the russian troops that have invaded ukraine from veterans territory. and now it's still offering it's it's, it's rolled to host the 1st potential piece talk, but still also hosting russian be sounds that have been shot against ukraine from barris. territory and on the issue of this referendum to allow the nuclear weapons to be stationed in by the roost. the you
9:23 pm
foreign policy chief has weighed in and he said that this move is, is greatly worrying. how do you expect you to deal with this going forward? well, i don't think dance again, barris itself, you know, by itself will be subjective, specific measures. it's, it's potter reaction to the russian invasion with the how of better or so venerable and least subject to sanctions, just like russia it's, it's already been actually, i'm a sanction because of the, you know, the result of the elections that or a, considered as a fraud or a cool, anybody occurring president. and so, and therefore, you know, do the focus really will be on, on russia,
9:24 pm
but various will see consequences fro for its action in support of russia. ok. thank you so much. martineau for joining us from geneva. now the u. s. as announced additional sanctions against russia central bank, bernard smith has more from moscow. nervous about whether debit and credit cards might stop working a sanctioned bite. some russians stocking upon cash. soon they'll begin to feel the financial pain of their president's decision to invade ukraine with interest rates more than doubled 20 percent. and the rubel plunging 30 percent against the dollar . knowing that we are planning to buy flat. so for us, it is very important that we were hoping to have a certain interest rate. now it will be totally different. the only purpose, of course, i am worried anyway. first of all, the situation with the dollars unclear and what about foot prices. we are in a debt and situation. there is no way out for people. russians have been promised
9:25 pm
that central bank reserves of more than $630000000000.00 will help cushion the economy from sanctions. but much of this money is in foreign banks. sanctions will make it very difficult to get any of it back to moscow. one russian economist told al jazeera, it's a completely unprecedented situation for the central bank. on friday, central bank had enormous reserves to be handled with your current frozen, and ellen ha is likely to be unusable as well. so this is something where nobody really can imagine what's going on. the central bank says, external conditions for the russian economy have drastically changed in a meeting about sanctions with government ministers vladimir putin described the western community as an empire of lies. russia's economy is also taking it from western firms, running for the exit, b p. the biggest foreign investor here is abandoning stake in oil firm rosen at u.
9:26 pm
p. s. and fedex have stopped shipping services. half the passenger jet used here are leased and those contracts are being canceled, rushes, political, economic, and physical isolation from the rest of the world is rapidly gathering pace. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow, turkey has designated russia's assault on ukraine as a war, and it said it would execute an international pact restrictive use of the turkish straits. it's the 1936 montero convention, and it gives turkey control over to important waterways. the georgia now and the boss 1st rates, they take you from the black sea to the mediterranean, through the mom or a c. and it's the base for russia black sea fleet that's been used to target ukraine southern coast. montreaux pac allows turkey to close the straits to all foreign warships in times of war or when threatened, there is an exception. however, if a worship is returning to its own port than its passage cannot be prevented. the
9:27 pm
turkish foreign minister shop was no clue has said this right shouldn't be abused. so ships that are allowed to pass to their basis should not then joined the war system. constable glue has more from its stumble on turkeys. this isn't turkey is dependent on energy imports. from russia and turkey is dependent on weight imports from both russia and ukraine has both 2 countries. a provide at least 88 to 5 per cent of the weight imports to turkey. and besides turkey and ukraine had, have some defense industry agreements as turkey has sold those famous a t v 2 uh drones through the ukranian army. and those drones have been actively use by the ukrainian military. i guess the russian military doing all this conflicts is the, is 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,
9:28 pm
especially ended 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 kind of bob between armina as ave jobs, there is the same, a partnership, or with between turkey and russia. can it be named as allies? i'm not sure, but there is a strong partnership. it with it. i'm turkey has a strong partnership with both countries. still ahead on the al jazeera news, our fear is to warn you. crane could overshadow a sobering climate change report that's being called an atlas of suffering. olympic chiefs call for a ban on russia and bella, russian athletes at all international sports events that's coming up in sports. ah

9:30 pm
a congo and western portions of the democratic republic of congo. seasonal rain, still ringing out their moisture over areas of madagascar, and also a lot of what, whether to be expected for eastern portions of south africa on tuesday. that trap the season. ah, ah, full pathogens are increasingly affecting our lives with terrible consequences. a new documentary asks whether we've learned any lessons in the h. i. v. epidemic in the fight against coven 19. how we ignored the global. so to put profits before people and want coast time of pundents coming soon on or just from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between. it did not respect poor
9:31 pm
people and p r r. planning promised to ensure that faith v, a woman, what's happened that just the 15 buffalo bag, let people actually have more here? why is the u. k. feel hostile? this is the mysteries all of us join me. if i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction. hardly get up put on al jazeera. ah ah ah, how are we going to top stories on the ology syringe? our talks have been held between russia on ukrainian delegations for the 1st time since russia invaded ukraine last thursday. or is the possibility of more talks to
9:32 pm
come? un is holding in a more, a rare emergency meeting to discuss a resolution condemning brush has invasion after moscow used it's vito power to block the resolution at the security council last week. and the meetings are being held is fighting continues around ukraine, including cave. there are reports of intensified shelling in the eastern city of danielle and another residential building was hit and trinity view and estimates that more than half a 1000000 people have fled from their homes in ukraine. many are going to neighboring countries stuff. austin has more from a border crossing in poland. hard breaking scenes here at the gate of the you the gate to safety right here. people have been waiting for days in their cars for many, many hours. they had to walk because it is a long queue of estimated 30 to 40 kilometers on the other side of the border. more than 300000 have already reached a hungry romania, poland,
9:33 pm
moldova. but the, your nature expects many more to arrive here. estimations from 4 to 5000000, which could mean the largest human catastrophe in europe since the cold war. people are arriving here as well. they are confused where to go. they're offered rights by a lot of volunteers. people from germany, people from the netherlands, from countries around europe are coming here, offering their help, as you can see, the best as arrive in every few minutes as those of people come in into a new country. probably know where to stay or not knowing where to go. so we are help in today. the most sort of, i'm hopeful thing i've got is from the u. k. government, but we can't help these people at the moment. the way the visa structure is, i think we should really cannot stand up and i'm, and have a look at this and, and get involved like the, the rest of the, the european community has. and have been hard breaking stories of people who
9:34 pm
actually manage across the border afternoon. we're walking for a long time. what i wanted to, to boast from live to the border between ukraine and holland. but they so many cars on the way. so the bus stop those on the way. and i trick by fruit for 12 hours. she have good. i was like, no stop. i just have to relax like 30 minutes and i continue my journey. but it shows that 5 days into the invasion from russia, the situation on the other side of the border is getting more and more dire. a dr. hamid is that a train station in denise pro and eastern ukraine where people are desperate to leave the country. people are coming here and trying to make their way out when you ask them, where are you going? they say anywhere. the moved over border, the romanian border to polish border, the hungarian border. wherever we can reach, we will go to this, not only ukraine is you have
9:35 pm
a lot of foreign students who study in april. we met people from ghana from nigeria . we saw 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 for 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 no others coming from don't yet. and luc ganske region, they don't have to ever go to go back home because they don't know if the separatists will take full control of that area,
9:36 pm
which is what the separate is 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 if they're going to be refugees for the rest of their lives. are they going to come here and live somewhere else? several african countries including nigeria and south africa say they were trying to get their citizens out of ukraine. the more comes after several of their nationals accuse ukrainian guards of discrimination as they tried to cross the border videos, posted on social media. so black people being thrown off or even prevented from boarding train john buses headed to the border with poland. and another video shows border police sending them back. nigeria has called for equal treatment of all of those fleeing the fighting out 0 spoke to people in the vive, who wanted to get out of the city, and we're hoping to get on the train. i was trying to get on the 1st change. i was heading to just like in the fall, but i couldn't get in because i was being push so many people obviously people are
9:37 pm
struggling to get in and those this room, ladies and children and also like pregnant ladies 1st before them. and so i was like, ok, fine, i'm a lady, they might let me in. so all right there by the steps and the guy with the train, i don't know yet, this guy, literally, he's a big man. he pushed me off and then i tried to get him again to push me when he kept saying ladies 1st needed for it. i looked at him and said of a lady, and he just stared at me and looked, always made way. and he did ukrainian women passed on nice women, those another black lady behind me, i don't know, i did not know her, but the 2 of us are standing there and watching all this happen. so we could do nothing and we just stood and looked at the geico as we tried to rush to the next thing. thing was happening. so the, the changes, the changes. yeah. i was just, i was shocked because i did not know the extent of the racism. i did not know. i
9:38 pm
think maybe okay, fine. i'm a lady so i just, i was in shock. i will show enough rate on shocker. i should just do then i've seen some videos that can a thing of the same kind of thing happening with the guys. and i've seen another one where they're literally being drugs out of the train like had a chance to get into the cabin. but then the drug out the hallway, you know, just by the door drag and indian students say ukrainian guards at the border with poland, beat them up and didn't allow them to cross engines make up a quarter of around 75000 foreign students studying in ukraine. many are still stranded, monica masters is an activist working for the n g o group of granite girl. she says the discrimination that's happening at poland. borders is nothing new. do grinding
9:39 pm
