so that over 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 agreed to continue the process of the negotiations. the negotiations held on the beller roost ukraine boarder lasted 5 hours. there were no breakthroughs. however, the 2 sides agreed to continue talking in a 2nd session. if anything, the fighting has worsened. shift not before the talk started vladimir zalinski called on the e u to allow his country to join the block and signed the next session document on this quote or not. he had made another defiant statement, but me stay more mutual on the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine. them, we stand strong. we live through that much over these days. what other people wouldn't experienced in decade. oh,

in the south of ukraine where russian forces have advanced and taken the city of burg, jensen. these are civilians surrounding russian military vehicles. they shouted go home to the troops. such defiance and solidarity is seen all over ukraine. wow. it every chow in every city. there is a determination, a resolve to help the war effort in any way people can. a steady stream of donated supplies for the army is being handed over to this voluntary organization in levine. it's helpers who are students don't believe russia is interested in peace. they're still fighting us. they are still a launch in there. and brock, it's there on our tertiary and the talks are going on. so i said, impossible have taught it while fighting us upstairs. donated medical supplies

and drugs, all date checked, a processed and local stores ensure they meet a constant demand for soldiers, boots. i and my colleagues are doing all the best here in a safe place to a collect other help from ukraine answered from ukrainians and foreigners all around the world. but no matter how strong the resolve of ukrainian forces might be, these satellite images are now showing an armored column to the north west of ki, if that's nearly 30 kilometers long. ah. and it's edging closer to the capital now. only 20 kilometers from the city center . andrew simmons, al jazeera levine. well, as you mentioned, ukraine's president has called for a no fly zone to stop russian air strikes. or she's, you silly, she wouldn't him. just look on through lethargic russian forces,

severely shell car, key or houses were destroyed. a lot of infrastructure was destroyed. video has proven that the target people's buildings, advocates, a war crime that should be investigated. and no one will ever forgive you for targeting civilians, ballistic missiles, artillery. this war has to be stopped immediately. i suggest and i believe that the sky needs to be close to russia. metal co worker is a former us ambassador to nato, and he says the alliance should seriously consider president zalinski is request. i do think it's a relevant idea. we should be listening carefully to president zalinski on this. i think if it were over keith and western ukraine, it could be effective and helping preserve the capital, helping deserve ukraine armed forces, so that they can defend their country. if russia decides to pursue its attacks on ukraine through the airspace and challenge nato fighters, that would be producing a no fly zone. so we put them in direct conflict. hopefully russia would not do that. we can't guarantee they're acting irrationally right now. but we are seeing

russian attacks on civilian population of war crime. we are seeing russian attacks on nuclear reactors and nuclear waste storage facilities. these are all things that route devastating to ukrainian population, civilians and crane. and i do think that there is a responsibility to protect russia took a lower tempo of operations over the past day and a half in order to move in. additional supplies, reinforcements, and fuel bring forces closer to a mass around here. and i believe this evening and tomorrow and all evening, all night, they will be on board and gave with everything they've got in order to try to break the city. so this is why these ideas of additional anti aircraft, munitions for the premiums, no fly zone additional javelin missiles to take out on the columns. all of the things are essential right now. as russian troops move further into ukraine,

many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers and defend their towns and cities. charles stafford reports some patricia in eastern new frame . civilian volunteers help ukrainian soldiers prepare for a russian army advance. there's a growing sense of urgency in the city of the upper risha. ukrainian army says russian tank columns are less than 40 kilometers away. north nauseous leave to quiet. we didn't invade them. they invaded us. he took crimea, then he took dumbass. i know now he's come to our city. i have children. i don't want them here giving orders some other men move equipment along freshly dug trenches on the outskirts of town. they overlook checkpoints from positions hidden in the trees. this is one of a growing number of checkpoints around the city of zap a risha. now most of the men that you see here are members of the civil defense

forces. they are volunteers. they say that the russian army has positioned itself in the next town down this road. the men come from all walks of life cable, which again, over as i need. i wish i remember as a linear, i used to teach math and physics at my local school, but 2 days ago the russian army took control of my town. so i signed up to 5 restaurants, including the local mcdonalds, have been donating food pharmacies, if given what medicine they can spare for the volunteers to treat the injured hazard. you are, we are here to treat emergencies, stopping, bleeding, for example. we then take them to hospital, armed volunteers prepared to be taken to positions around the city. morale high close by a group of men and women. wait to sign on you to fight your phone. sure. and you cut your stopper on each. those role in my you, i don't want my family killed her. i won't allow them to march in our land. they

are the occupiers, and they should be eliminated. shows the yes, the law they are, by the way, why if need be, i will fight, give me a weapon. i want to poison him. why? the young and old help filled bottles with petro yet molotov cocktails for those who want to fight, but don't have a gun. yeah, jim, yeah. me. yeah, i have a family. i can't do anything else to help them really. but we are honest and bright people, but the situation is dark right now. a people prepared to defend this city against an invader. they know is close channel stuff around to 0. zable risha, eastern ukraine, united nations, humanitarian coordinators, been briefing the un security council on the war. martin griffith told members at least a $102.00 civilians have died, but the figure could be much higher. the lives of millions of civilians are simply at stay. we know from other recent conflicts are brutal,

deadly and protracted. urban warfare can be we know, humphreys, economies can be devastated infrastructure investment and development gains certain back an entire generation. and we know enough to know that we do not know what it will be. the consequences of the events that we observe today. she harbor time, she has more from the united nations in new york. the u. s. as it's been working on expelling the 12 russian diplomats for months, accusing them of exploiting their diplomatic privileges to engage in espionage. russia says the u. s. is in violation of both the un charter and the vienna convention. the news was confirmed by the u. s. at a special un security council meeting convene to discuss the humanitarian situation in ukraine. out that meeting you and representative said that they feared the worst . i regret to say that unless there is no need to call to conflict,

ukrainians will simply continue to flee. we are currently planning, i repeat, planning for up to 4000000 refugees in the coming days and weeks. such a rapid increase would be a huge burden for receiving states and would no doubt stress reception systems and related resources out of the security council that so to did the un general assembly. the 1st of several days of speech is to discuss the situation in ukraine. it's expected it will culminate with a voting on a resolution, a non binding general assembly resolution that will deplore the russian action and ukraine still ahead and i'll just call to defend democracy worldwide. the us president is set to make the state of the union speech with a difference. i'm snubbed by the world of sports. russia is banned from more

international competitions. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored play cut on airways. now there are no existing warnings of any significance throughout japan. the snow is going to be quite noticeable in her cardi of the range can be quite notable in hon. shoot, but it's not warrantable, never as miserable looking day, i think. as i get when the tuesday, despite it being 18 degrees in turkey, be snowing on the mountains of be overcast, the rain elsewhere. and this line takes your eyes down towards tie one chess or a few spots right in southern china, but nothing extraordinary here. and it's warming up solves at 10. you'll notice hobbins up plus one, beijing about 10 degrees as well. a day beyond that and the sun reappears, the temperature drops in tokyo, that was a cold front. so in the sunshine with a few shout and 12 degrees here, there's a potential for some flooding,

i think in the central and southern philippines. this is persistent, frequent showers, not same line. used to do the same thing in color, lumper, but in simulation and the nose and past sumatran not causing tense but i get to wednesday heavy shall still potentially there. i think in the middle of java, or be on that barley quite possibly. and through the and i'm on a nickel, persistent rain, just trying to catch the edges for lanka, but failing for india or bangladesh apart from a few showers in the foothills of the himalayas. it's a dry looking picture and of course sunny. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always in a notorious waterside community. what kinda sucks rule. one, theater director ventures. to stage a play that com is easy to empower the women that told man sitting right there and i and we define best

status in society. missy, that nigerian women walk on water. witness on al jazeera. ah ah, watching all does it remind over top stories this our rushes drive towards ukraine's capitalized now entering a 6th day, we're getting reports. the dozens of people have been killed and injured in the 2nd largest city hockey. ukrainian president started me zalinski is calling for a no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. and comes as russian forces are accused of using cluster bumps which are banned in more than a 100 countries. and it also comes as

a huge rushing convoy advances on cave satellite images show, hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, and support vehicles. just 20 kilometers from the center of the capitol. and then our fears that russia's military tactics could become more aggressive with evidence that cluster bombs are being used. these dispersed hundreds of smaller explosives over a large area. more than a 100 countries have signed a treaty banning them. it's believed explosions in khaki on monday. were caused by cluster bombs, but the weapons already been linked to other recent attacks. it cranes, us ambassadors, says russia has used a so called vacuum bomb. they're filled with high pressure explosives which absorb oxygen from the surrounding air, creating a powerful blast and rushes defense minister. he says it's nuclear missile forces and northern and pacific treats are on enhanced combat duty after an order by president vladimir putin. we are facing a tragedy for ukraine, but also

a major regional crazy, potentially disastrous implications. what us all, yesterday, russia, nuclear forces would boots on high alerts. these is a chilling developments. the mere idea of a nuclear conflict is simply inconceivable. nothing can justify the use of nuclear weapons, something romani is a politics and international relations specialist at the university of oxford. in the u. k, he says, ukraine's military still appears resilient. i think that brushes strategy hinged upon a very swift regime change mission. a blitz into kiev to change the government. and that's very clearly not happening. over the course of the past 5 days, russia struggled to hold territory inc are heave and even areas much closer to with an ex territory like maria poll, which is supposed to crimea. so i absolutely believe the rush is going to expand the scope of it, sat military interventions, particularly against kevin kirk, keith and scamper. noticing the movement of large scale up to one voice. and in deb

car here, just over the past few hours, you've seen rush, upgrading it's air force deployments from su, 20 fours to much more lethal left su 30 vos. well, the twenty's still alpha control over the skies in the areas that down russia has non occupied totally and death ukraine. air force is proven to be much more resilient than many people have given their credit for. and now with the arrival of other weaponry, like casting grand to take marseilles and turkish drones, brighter t b choose being used against russian assets. i suspect that ukrainian military will be more resilient on around land for some time watches repeatedly warned that this is a local matter and vitamin pollutant even stated when the war started. that any attempt interfere by western powers will be met by a response that no one's ever seen before. but in reality, russia much like the western countries are not really willing to test article 5 and invoke the prospect of a nuclear war over ukraine by targeting western countries. so i think that the more it most likely a development that would likely follow is probably cyber attacks launched against

countries that are seen. do you particularly involved in the supply military equipment? people are starting to feel a financial pressure in russia. the u. s. has announced additional sanctions against its central bank, brought up smith's reports from moscow. nervous about whether debit and credit cards might stop working a sanctioned bite. some russians a 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, 1st 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 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 car, frozen, and ellen 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 rosin, f. u p. s. and fedex. i've stopped shipping services, half the passenger jet used here are least, 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, thousands of people are continuing to seek refuge outside ukraine. poland is sheltering more than 320000 people, for many migrants from africa and asia say they're being turned away from the border. st. sofie has met some of them at a reception center in kosovo in eastern poland a refugee crisis on an industrial scale. every person currently housed in this warehouse on the ukraine, poland border had their lives turned upside down. when russia invaded ukraine, the number of people forced to live offers and insight into the enormous scope of this crisis. and still they keep coming bust in from the board away from the war,

but now inland. we're here at one of the many reception centers set up on the ukraine, poland border where people have been telling us how happy and relieved they are to finally be inside poland to have crossed over the border from ukraine. that many people have also been telling us of the indignities that. ready they have suffered on the ukrainian side of the border. people from countries in asia, africa and the middle east were living and working in ukraine when the war began. weapons of war do not discriminate. so every one ran for their lives, like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, we were already lost people. the good to get on entity was always like that. so no further put there are people 1st and us. i'll say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them it's normal because it's their country. they need to save their people. first, some of the people who spoke with said a country at war could be forgiven for putting their own people 1st, but for others, some with ukrainian families of their own. the contrast of how they were treated

was to start when we understand that they need to sit just it is in bed. we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been long falling gigantic. we have shown them love. i believe that the least it could do was to, if i quit, my thought is that a refugee is a refugee, under average, is a human being. and it doesn't matter what to what does the skin color, religion, political attitude or whatever that is. if the record seed needs help, then we need to help the rectory. the non european refugees coming into poland, tell stories of generous strangers, giving help shelter, food and transport. but they also tell stories of guns being pointed at them by ukrainian troops being forced back to make way for ukrainians to get to safe havens 1st. and even in poland. tempers run high. yeah, you can tell. i saw that a way that we went out of wires on may even ukrainian once i take it just

ukrainians. i'm so sorry. i respect you as a police officer, but what you guys are doing here, this is not the job of the county that is so in itself that they are helping refugees coming from you. great. i wore, as always, it seems, brings out the best and worst in people. and even if the fighting stopped soon at home on repairing the damage done to all the lives, touched by this crisis, will take much longer zane basra, the old euro, cordova eastern poland. u. s. president joe biden is going to delivered his state of the union address on tuesday night. he's kind of an answers new plan to help americans navigate inflation, but is also expected to keep ukraine in focus, addressing the urgent need to defend democracy around the world. allen fisher reports from washington dc. this is a white house concentrating on tuesdays important state of the union speech by the

president. but it's not taking its eyes off, you cream, a point made by the vice president at an event marking the end of black history month. today the eyes of the world are on ukraine and the brave people who are fighting to protect their country and their democracy. and their bravery is a reminder, a most recent reminder that justice equality and freedom must never be taken for granted by any of the u. s is announced a new round of economic sanctions. this time targeting russia's central bank, one senior white house official says they want to drive the russian economy backwards, while vladimir putin is pushing his tanks forwards into ukraine. they want to drive up inflation. dr. don't investment possibilities and cripple the purchasing power of the kremlin. yes, state department revealed, it was also going after the money and assets of those closest to the russian leader

. and we are standing up a joint task force to find and freeze assets of sanctioned russian companies. oligarchs, and other government officials. these actions will. busy severely impact putin's inner circle impede the kremlin use of its international reserves, and limit its ability to find ongoing. these stabilizing activities, including the kremlin war machining ukraine. clinton has increased russia's nuclear le let level, which prompted reporters to ask the u. s. president. if americans should be worried by the threat of nuclear war, he shot that idea down there with a one word answer or no one talk us senator. the head of the intelligence committee, mark warner says he sees no immediate credit to put drill in russia. but the u. s. is expecting and preparing for a surgeon, cyber attacks and retaliation to the actions already approved. as the fighting and

cream continues, i'll in fisher, i'll just either at the white house or people in the u. k. or been donating huge volumes of supplies for ukraine's ukrainians. volunteers say they've been inundated with help. charlie angela reports from london. this holy 7000 is being overwhelmed with donations. you can seem allison to children's clothes, some old shoe badging, medical kids being thought by volunteers as a call key blocking traffic down the road as london has come to drop off what they can get an extremely, extremely grateful and to move by general safety. and so you gotta be of the people always bringing it. i think i have every language of the world in this room in their last 24 hours. at the moment we are looking for the transport companies that would like to schedule install shipment from london today. police going on board

that payoff, todd, this is what we desperately need now. they think, oh, it was ukraine. they might be call on next week. it might bureau just a collection points like this set up around the u. k. people joined the call to the stand with ukraine. but beyond the clothing and the bedding, they think what they really need is come back. home is hiv. it's been 2 way radios . and drove back. in the meantime, these donations will be a small comfort to those refugee stepping into uncertainty. charlie angela out there, lumber international sporting agencies are turning their backs on russia, the governing bodies of global and european football, or bonding russian teams from all international competitions. and limping officials are asking other sports organizations to blacklist athletes from russia and by the roost. international football journalist gavin hamilton says this was all

inevitable. well, i think that they're of the, i think they police that they decided to take his turn because they were strongly in the pressure came from the players to play with the ones leading the opposition to russia. the federations responded to the, the players strength of opinions and now responded in current. but if it's taken time and that will be in the criticism of free christian john, the intense, you know, because he's seen as a friend of letting me in. he enjoys the photo opportunities recruiting and other world leaders and zone the he some he's going to take a bit of flack of him for the way the hide in this thing. they've been bounced into it really by the i see the international committee announcing a few hours earlier that they were going to pan will actually rushing from competing no competition. so safest edition has been really caused by the i see. but i think there was also going international pressure on, on, speaker to act. and of course, the, the teams that were possibly going to be facing russia in the work of play off

nicely fall in sweden republic. they refused. they said that they've refused to play russia in the welcome qualifying place next month. so that's forced the issue with the for, but it's been quite a turnaround because they were with the slowest of the sports organization to, to take the stand against the russians embrace of ukraine. ah, this is all just here. these are the top stories and brushes drive towards ukraine's capital is now entering a 6 day. we've been getting reports, the dozens of people have been killed and injured in the 2nd largest city. how have russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs, which are banned in more than a 100 countries? ukrainian, president of love me as a landscape calling for a no fly zone to stop moscow is bombardment or foolish wouldn't you just took off? the russian forces severely shout garcia our house.
