but me stay more mutual on the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine. we stand strong, but we've lived through that much over the past days. what other people wouldn't experience and decades. net. ah, in the south of ukraine, where russian forces have advanced and taken the city of burg, gents. 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 child in every city. there's 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 their brackets there on our tertiary and the talks are going on. so i that impossible had taught said while fighting for upstairs donated, medical supplies and drugs, all date checked, a processed and local stoles 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 the crane answer 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 give . 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. here as much as hassan is in the capital, he described hearing loud explosions. sirens have also been sounding in case of loss and to give mar them home to it was a difficult and hard day for people here and keep our many residents made the decision to either seek shelter or flee the capital. today we witnessed many families carrying their luggage and making their way by foot to the main train station before the curfew is put in place. despite talks between russia and ukraine on the bela lucy and border, i don't want to draw conclusions. however, it is clear that things have not gone well, because shortly after the talks ended, the bombings intensified. we heard loud explosions that shook the capital, probably the loudest explosions that we've heard so far. and according to the mayor of brewery, a city in the suburbs of keys, missiles have targeted. the city was mentioned, ukraine's president of call for a no fly zone to stop russian strikes. or you feel, if you wouldn't, you know,

still go to the russian forces severely shout, garcia, or houses were destroyed. a lot of infrastructure was destroyed. video has proven that the target people building up the war cry and that should be investigated in 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 and he will be close to russia for coke, as a former us ambassador to nato. he says, the lion should seriously consider president the landscape request. i do think it's a relevant idea. we should be listening carefully to presidents, let's be honest. i think if it were over keith and western ukraine, it could be effective and helping preserve the capital, helping deserved 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 policing and no fly zones. i would put them in direct conflict.

hopefully russia would not do that. we can't guarantee they're acting irrationally right now. but we're seeing rush attacks on civilian population and war crime. we are seeing russian attacks on nuclear reactors on nuclear waste storage facilities . these are all things that are devastating to ukranian, 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 amass around here. and i believe this evening and tomorrow and all evening, all night, they will be bombarded with everything in order to try to city. so this is why these ideas, 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 for the russian troops move further into ukraine. many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers and defend their towns and cities out there was charles strafford reports now from apparition in eastern ukraine. civilian volunteers, help ukrainian soldiers prepare for a russian army advance. there's a growing sense of urgency in the city of upper asia. ukrainian army says russian tank columns a less than 40 kilometers away north nauseous leave to collide. 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, he giving orders o men move equipment alone, freshly dug trenches on the outskirts of town. the overlook checkpoints from positions hidden in the trees. this is one of a growing number of checkpoints around the city of zap

men were made public though this is what the european high representative said. to know that this half a 1000000000 viewed as will be devoted to provide defensive arms. but i calibre arms anti tanks, all kinds of agreements in order to re failed digression and member the state has to provide disarmed with had to coordinate with what that they are doing. what we can do additionally with these resources in recent hours, the ukrainian president has signed a decree formally requesting membership of the european union. and that membership be fast tracked. that's something that clearly will be discussed on the margins and meetings here in europe in the coming days. but membership of the european union is a very, very long process, and there's no way ukraine will become a member any time soon. men are russians are starting to feel the financial pressure of western sanctions. the rubel sank almost 30 percent against the dollar

. and that was nervous about where the debate 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. i know that we are planning to buy a flat to so for us it is very important that we are hoping to have a certain interest rate. now it will be totally different. the only way of, of, of course, i am worried. anyway, 1st of all, the situation of the doll is unclear. and what about foot prices? we are in a bed 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 enormously deserves to be happily resorted, frozen, and delicate 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 part investor here is abandoning stake in oil firm rosin act, u. p. s. and fedex have stopped shipping services. half the passenger jets 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, lost more. let's come here now just here,

be had in the higher ground in british columbia and beyond rain for the south on vancouver island warnings of excessive rain. but the river is moving, so you salvage is river of moisture in the air that's causing this rain. i felt assassin that and in florida though it's not very warm, it's just not raining both. how we get to tuesday is a good spread, a shower elsewhere. nothing to extraordinary getting quite heavy in the north of columbia. notice. and in fact, if you go further south and need the border with ecuador flooding potential, still exists. and there are some already centered stones, north, brazil, flooding potential here. and if you follow down here towards puerto allegro in the southeast, brazil that's weather is heavy, rain and has been provably causing flash floods. ah gutter. one of the fastest growing nations in the money needed

savanski, calling for no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs, which a band in more than a 100 countries. and it comes as a massive russian convoy estimated to be more than 60 kilometers long is said to be on boxing on keep satellite images show ahmed vehicles. tanks, artillery, and support vehicles position to the north of the capitol. meanwhile, thousands are continuing to seek refuge outside ukraine. poland is sheltering more than 320000 people, but many migrants from africa and asia say they're being turned away from the border. same bizarre avi has met. some of them are a ships and center in cordova. 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 like this,

offers an insight into the enormous scope of this crisis. and still they keep coming bust in from the book 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 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, you were already lost people, the good to get on entity. those always laid out. so no further put their people 1st and us. i'll say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them it's normal because it's their contra denita was

a saved up people. first, some of the people we 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. we understand that they need to save dusty disease, but we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been long falling jack on to it. we have shown them love. i believe that the least it could do was to, if i quit, was my thought is that in refugees, a refugee under average is a human being. and it doesn't matter what, what does 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 being pointed at them by you. indian troops being forced back to make way for ukrainians to get to safe havens 1st. wow. and even in poland, tempers around high. you know, you can tell us what day we got. we went out

a green and i'm so sorry, i respect you as a police officer, but what you guys are doing here is not the job of the county that is so in itself . and even if the fighting stops that roman, repairing the damage done to all the lives, touched by this crisis, will take much longer than i zane basra, the old 0 cordova, eastern poland. and people in the u. k. have been to 1000 huge volumes of supplies for ukrainians. volunteer say they've been inundated with help. charlie angela reports from london. this highly 7000 is being overwhelmed with donations. you can see i was injured children's clothes and shoe begging medical kids. being thwarted by volunteers as a call q blocking traffic down the road as london has come to drop off what they kind of got an extremely,

extremely grateful and moved by general safety. and so you gotta be of the people always bringing it. i think i have every language of the walls in this room in their last 24 hours. at the moment we are looking for the transport companies that would like to schedule install shipments from london today, police andrew carrying on board that payoff. todd, this is what we'd desperately need now. they sent over to us ukraine. they'd might be full on next week. it might bureau just a collection points like this set up around the u. k. people join the call to stand with ukraine, but beyond the clothing and the bedding, they think what they really need is come back, go helmet hiv, it's been 2 way radios and drove back. in the meantime, these donations will be a small company to those refugee stepping into uncertainty. charlie angela out

there. well, the united nations humanitarian coordinator has 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 stake. we know from other recent conference our brutal deadly and protracted urban warfare can be. we don't falsities economies can be devastated infrastructure, investment and development gain certain back to the 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, whether off is that russians military tactics could become more aggressive with evidence that cluster bombs are being used. these dispersed hundreds of smaller bomblets over a large area. more than a 100 countries have signed a treaty banning them, it's believed explosions in hockey eve on monday were caused by cluster bombs,

but the weapon has already been linked to other recent attacks. ukraine's us ambassador says russia has used a so called vacuum bomb. now they are filled with high pressure explosives which absorb oxygen from the surrounding air, creating a powerful blast. and rushes defense minister says it's nuclear missile forces. the northern pacific fleets are on enhanced combat duty often order by president vladimir putin. we are facing a tragedy for ukraine, but also a major regional crazy, potentially disastrous implications. what i was old yesterday, russian nuclear forces would put on high alert. these is a chilling developments. the mere idea of a nuclear conflict is simply inconceivable. nothing can justify the use of nuclear weapons or salmon romani from the university of oxford. in the u. k. he says, ukraine's military still appears resilient. i think that brushing strategy hinged

upon a very swift regime change mission a blitz into he have to change the government. and that's very clearly not happening. over the course of the past 5 days, russia struggle to hold territory and guard heave and even areas much closer to with the next territory, like maria paul, 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 against camper. 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 f su 30 vos. well, the rinney's saliva 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 grande tank, 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 of military equipment? from all turkeys activating a non, to your old international treats you to prevent warships and passing through to t waterways. the 1936 montreaux convention gives it all thought to close the da da nell's on bus for straits and tons of wool. president, rush of ty, photo on, says the decision could prevent the crisis from escalate. dozens of volunteers from georgia are signing up to fight russian forces in ukraine. they're gathered outside the ukrainian embassy in tbilisi on monday follows an appeal for help by ukraine's
