the all know between is cooking sadie dry. our quick look at southern africa, madagascar and the north is still quite wet and there was share was elsewhere the main band of rain. there was edging slowly. fatty further north into actuarial kidney. ah, ah. a military column, 64 kilometers long. russia edging closer to the outskirts of ukraine's capital. ah, hello, i'm come all santa maria here in doha, continuing coverage on al jazeera of the russia ukraine war

that is the city of her chief shells as russian forces unleash a wave of artillery attacks on a residential area. but if i think back, we'll hear from ukrainian volunteers supporting the soldiers mounting a defense against rushing for half a 1000000 and counting ukrainians, crammed the train stations as they try to flee the ongoing conflict. ah, tuesday morning in give an ukraine waking up to a 6th day under russian attacks with moscow's forces now slowly edging closer to the capital is convoy about 64 kilometers long, which is thought to be positioned north, the city stretching out to the town of yvonne cave, it's been pictured in new satellite imagery released by a private american company. the column made up of armored support, vehicles,

tanks and artillery. other updates we have you, more than 70 ukrainian soldiers have been killed by russian shelling at a military base in the countries northeast. this is according to local officials, ukrainian president obama zalinski is calling for a no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. a lot more than half a 1000000 people have now fled the count. it's beginning coverage with andrew simmons reporting from the v. o. lethal actions speak louder than words. this is the message russia since, as their delegates were talking with ukraine negotiators, civilians attacked in their homes over 90, ukrainian authorities report deaths and schools of injuries in hoc eve. the attacks targeted civilian areas in and around ukraine. second city, they appeared to include cluster munitions by nightfall on monday,

the capital key of came under heavy russian bombardment. just as a talks were winding up for the day. green ian and the russian delegations today held the 1st round of talks. the main aim of reach was to discuss the ceasefire and the sation of hostilities in the territory of ukraine. huge a. so the river, the negotiations last at 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 night before the talk started vladimir zalinski called on the e. u to allow his country to join the block and signed the next session. you talk

to him about this quote or not. he had made another defiance. let 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 chill 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 said, impossible have taught said 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 keith and its

edging closer to the capital. now, only 20 kilometers from the city center. andrew simmons al jazeera levine more now from the v, with jonah hall, who's her reporting life press. good morning, jonah, you know, we were talking yesterday about how it is some quarters. the people was angle. actually, things aren't going as well as they might have expected for the russian military. but then we see these say to satellite images, they're close. well, that is still the assessments of quest and intelligence. things are not and have not been going quite as the russians might have hope that's certainly no reason the russians to stop and evidently in any reason any longer of them to slow down. they are upping their tempo now of attacks on large urban centers that is clear, the reports of explosions being heard in key of this morning. the capital, of course, the most important urban centre in the country,

that enormous convoy you've been hearing about to the north west. 40 miles long, contains rush, nama troops, logistical and support supplies, field supplies, and so on. that's ready to move or attempt to move on the capital. there's another convoy coming up from the southeast. the idea is to try and circle the capital and apply maximum pressure, of course of the civilian population inside and the government of president lensky . the other big urban center under continued attack is khaki in the east. they're the mayor of khaki talking about those rocket attacks on civil neighborhoods in the north east. on monday saying, calling them a massacre. talking about 9 civilian deaths confirmed $36.00 injuries, including a family 2 adults, 3 children burned to death in their car at a tax. continuing on tuesday morning, we've just watched on a live a live video link as the towns of the cities local government headquarters appear to have been obliterated by what looks like

a missile strike. and of course attacks going on as well as military targets. one very large incident being reported this morning, we've seen lots of video of it in a place called dr. go that's roughly between even leave closer to keith, apparently sustaining attack by very heavy munitions, potentially, missiles strike, an enormous crater, seeing that 70 ukrainian soldiers killed janet as quickly on the talks which concluded yesterday. absolutely no surprise. i think that they didn't, nothing was came out of them, but is there a commitment to, to talk again? we believe so. that's what we heard from the 2 delegations as they departed the ukraine ballard border after 5 hours of talks on monday saying some priority topics had been discussed on which they had outlined certain decisions. a not clear what

those topics were. the com to be very central to the aims of either side in this war. i think the ukrainian certainly didn't get what they wanted. an immediate cease fire and the withdrawal of troops, russian troops from ukrainian soil and the russians have shown absolutely no form of conceal, no movement on any of their red lines. no willingness to concede. they are talking about consulting now in their capitals and meeting again at some point in the future. of course it's better they be talking at all the not talking, but i don't think many people see much of a glimmer of hope or real progress just yet. okay, thank you so much, jenna. how reporting from the v today? and now my casino with a senior fellow at the german marshall fund of the united states with us on zoom from munich today. nice to have you with us. we've talked more on the military side there without corresponding what's happening on the ground. i want to why now with you and talk about what great site the european union european countries,

the u. s. doing now what they want as opposed to what's the ukrainians one for example, the bottom is the landscape because we want to no fly zone in the u. s. lukewarm on that. good morning. yeah it's, it's amazing actually what's going on here right now in terms of the european union, germany also closing ranks with the united states given all the history we had in particular. and the last couple of years between the european union of the united states. this is really a huge, big unifier. what's currently happening in ukraine if you are acting there was, this is going to make a big difference in terms of warfare and terms of helping you to bring in to with the russian. i would caution here. try to try to bits because what we're seeing right now approach. ching, yes,

i did the long come by of train equipments. so i think we have to be afraid that things are going to happen. so. yeah. what about more widely, the issue of sanctions, you know, before the invasion, it was sort of the only weapon of choice which the west hads. but now they seem to be actually making a difference. at least if you look at the response of the markets in the room, for example, more long to what? yes. so what do you think that can do? because if that starts affecting the russian people, benjamin vitamin who's got a problem? absolutely, and just from, from what i hear back from, from most of my friends that they are devastated. and they are also afraid that the basis of their system is actually really in jeopardy given the, of the inflation given the depreciation of the rule. and given the isolation, but that's happening right now of russia. i mean, you have to look basically everywhere sports with a culture with politics,

economics. russia is going to be isolated. and that's just want to remember with our foreign minister at the germany said the other day at the special session that at the docket, the german parliament on sunday she was saying, well, russia, you will be in ruins if you continue down that path. and i think that it was not just the phrase, so you don't think russia can sort of last this out for a little while. i mean, i would have expected that they would have been, well, literally a war chest of some descriptions. let him put him, would have known that this sort of thing was coming for a while. but how long does that last? well let's, that's the question. whether he really expected still to be so strong in terms of the reaction of the west. i mean, he must have known because the into the 14 of the annexation of the crimea and what's happening on bus the, what's the reaction was also very strong, where you were unified and you have challenges on the west to,

to be kind of lukewarm and to not respond that the way they did right now that he was clearly made misjudgments. i mean, i think the clears indication of the, you know, the units in the west particular europe is the fact that germany and number of other countries who are on the receiving end of getting russian gas. i really convinced, and i decided to, to stop, to stop getting the gas at some point to get independent from russia. and if you look at the russian business model, so say this still relies on the export of, of gas and oil. and if you, if you're withdrawing this well, the basis the fundamentals actually off this business model than this going to, to be a big deal for, for russia. casino with us from munich today. we appreciate your time. so thank you

. if you will, indian students caught up after rushes, invasion of ukraine of just began arriving back in new delhi and possibly be told that the airport now in delhi, probably what's happening when about a couple of hours were expecting to fly to land over here at the airport was the thought of an ongoing operation by the engine government to get about 20000 indian students that study in your cajuns on the largest group all fall into one of the last few days. we've seen absolutely talk freaking into stopping videos. they've been posting. what's going on, but just wanted you to remember, these are young people, they don't have much money. they don't necessarily speak the local language. they have no supplies. how do you give them os 10 in you print the government has advised them to leave. he immediately, ideally by today, but they're,

they're ready scrambling to get out. there are thousands of them that are a border crossings. we spoke to one student who told us that about 50 of his classmates pitching, took a private bus, a journey of about 10 hours to the romanian bordeaux where this shade sub 0 temperatures for 2 days waiting to cross the border. now schools have also been posting videos and talking about how bored officials have been mishandled, manhandling them, and misusing them to we spoke to said that he noticed that what your opinions and people from all the nationalities look choosing fall to border a lot of the schools waited for hours to do that. now back home. we've also been speaking to families while white space they've been trying to get in touch with the embassy there. they've been trying to talk to for shows here watching the news to know what exactly is going on. but i'm to now, fewer than 2000 students have made it for the government needs dozens of multiply

to bring them all back into town, reporting from new delhi today on those indian students arriving back from ukraine . thank you. pop me still ahead on our da 0. continuing special coverage in the russian invasion of ukraine. news and analysis coming ah, there's still plenty of snow falling and to fall in the southeast of europe, circulating rad center of, of low pressure in the black sea. but what's coming of that landing as looking a bit more like early spring, yet it's tucking into it is warm. so if a northern france you probably hit the low teens. non for example, forties, miserable, weather in london admittedly. but the snow is limited to the high ground of norway between these 2 areas. this is tuesday for cross,

the sun should be at no as showing particularly cold weather. no where particularly warm bath, not part of france either. south of that and the sun is i for most to spain and portugal is proper and wanted rain coming in to the northwest of spain drive ridden and piles of portugal. there's quite a strong wind for which there will be warnings on the croatian coast to snow. for italy and for the high ground of sicily and obviously greece, but it's easing up in the balkans. that's also true of the strong wind. but if i edge in to was turkey, you see a lot of snow here for tuesday and probably wednesday, rain way, haven't got the heights across cypress, northern syria and lebanon was sunshine to follow, and he gets even snow, yeah. edgy into the southern caucasus. this during wednesday in north africa caught a strong winds being set up with sand. you know, jerry ah, the frank assessments for china,

birds will benefit from 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs. not for this thought about stable critical debate. why group would claims that native constitutes failure to stand chill, threat to russia? but it's precisely, his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, ah ah, on al jazeera, these are the top stories, a russian military convoy stretching 60 kilometers, is advancing towards ukraine's capital. keith, you satellite images,

char ahmed vehicles, and artillery 20 kilometers from the city center. shelling has been intensifying over the last few days. ukraine's army says 70 soldiers have been killed by a russian artillery strike. this was at a military base near coffee, the country 2nd biggest city. for the south, the russian armies advanced on have sun and ukraine's government says more than 350 civilians have been killed since the invasion began on thursday. the u. n. is talking about more than 500000 people fleeing the conflict and crossing into neighboring countries. so let's talk more about this. russian convoy the satellite pictures which we've seen of it, as we say, believe to be more than 60 kilometers long making its way towards the capital care . what we want you to do want to do for you is give you a little bit of geographic perspective as we move on to the next picture and we'll pulls it once we get there. this one, what we've managed to do 1st of all, you see the column of, of, of tanks and,

and vehicles there. but what we've meant to do is sort of match it with google maps . so there's that roundabouts there and we'll start to zoom out and show you where it is. so even give just outside the city of a van cave, it's about 10000 people who live there. it is part of the wide a key f o blast as they say, it's like the district. so let's show you that from yvonne cave down to and we've just chosen this is a mock a point. the presidential palace in kia that's 90 kilometers by road. that's how close they are from that particular point. if we just zoom out again, given the look at the distance, it's all getting very close. uncomfortably close, i would say, from a van cave, down to key if there. so let's talk more about this sort of stuff with general retired general allies thought out who as a strategic and military researcher are with us on scott from beirut. thank you for your time, sir. it's, i'm sure you've seen a glaze images. it's quite something, isn't it? a convoy vat long heading towards keith. yes,

sir. this convoy from the military point of view is ed transportation convoy which is then on march 3rd towards give it did not take a combat gone for. busy combat formation, yet it should be at this to the muted, to echelons that there are inside of a game or at, back on and front the lion, the, the city. but so far, i'm the, what do we see in the, something like that images that you showed is not a formation a protocol. but it said athens for a patient may be down to a formation convent as soon as they are arrived to as sent that distance bear it, that they can connect it in their planning, right? okay, so this is it, but that the volume of all trucks and tanks is very large,

isn't it? i'm just thinking that at least in the early days of this conflict, i think some people have been impressed at how the ukrainians have fought back. but this is when the real size of the russian army takes precedence. i would think yes sir, but so far we didn't see a 4 on bella, a confrontation between both sides, the russians. i'm there with canadians. for example, if this is the convoy is up, was 60 kilometers and the day can may, i mean they can come back the, the giddy operations. i'm deb. busy aids on and this and this convoy but so far we didn't, did anything like this. and then that means that the canyon out of me as not able to for, for a conventional or a fair land, that it, that it is a thought think to get a lot went for. busy aids on,

on some and some that get ac, was it, was it that that get that they it, it believe it is the efficient for and thought of, i mean what is this thing b, b and the russian advance. yeah. it's a case, a convoy think of this very simple question, is a convoy like that? not an easy targets mean with seeing it on freely available images and it's 60 kilometers long. yes, if there was any. but a peroration from the canadian, regular army. i mean, this is their work, this is the job for a regular, the jump for, i mean, regulars or munitions. if they have petition, they couldn't have done much for bit come boy, and they could obstructed the advance. but it doesn't seem that

out of me is so bad because the regular army is the prime on the sea line, would bump us region against the guns. logan, and now fighting in money off all of the city on the adults $50.00, which is the port city and the bottom for the you can and government. i think most of the must of this area and they did not. that bad thanks so much for agape and they're not fighting with bill. i was and i had great to talk to you and to get your expertise on this. thank you for your time. ok, thank you. thank you. so as russian troops move further into ukraine, many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers to defend their towns and cities. charles stratford has this report now from czar patricia in

easton, 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 along 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 a risha. now most of the men that you see here, a 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, hell, which he did over as i need. i wish i remember as a lanier. 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 fight shopper by the way. restaurants, including the local mcdonalds, have been donating food. pharmacies have 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 is high, close by a group of men and women, wait to sign our, it's a fight. you have done so and you can show stopper when it does rolling we, i don't want my family killed. i won't allow them to march in our land. they are the occupiers, and they should be eliminated shows can yes, the law they are, by the way you want, if need be, i will fight, give me a weapon. i want to poison him. why?

the young and old help fill bottles with petro? yeah, molotov cocktails for those who want to fight, but don't have a gun. yeah. same yeah, absolutely. i have a family, i can't do anything else to help them clearly, but we are honest and bright people, but the situation is dark right now. the people prepared to defend this city against an invader. they know is close to unstructured. al jazeera zappa, risha, eastern ukraine. meanwhile, thousands continue to seek refuge outside that ukraine. poland, for example, sheltering more than 320000 people. but many migrants from africa and asia say they're being turned away from the border. zane basra, the met, some of them at a reception center in cordova. in easton, 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 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's . and 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 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. we understand that they need to save just it isn't, but we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country. we have been law falling, jack on to it. we have shown them love. i believe that the list could do was to evacuate us. my thought is that a refugee is a refugee, under average, is a human being and it doesn't matter what to what does skin color, religion, political attitude or whatever that is. if the rated seed needs help, then we need will help the rescue. chief, 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. wow. and even in poland, tempers around high, you know, you can't tell by the way that we went out to warns on my human you, graham, he went out tomorrow. i think it just ukrainian. 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 showing itself that they are helping refugees coming from you. great. a war as always, it seems, brings out the best and worst in people. and even if the fighting stops soon had plumber repairing the damage done to all the lives. touched by this crisis, will take much longer zane basra, the old euro, cordova eastern poland. ah

. all right, let's take you through all the latest developments out of ukraine. there was a russian military convoy stretching for 60 kilometers, advancing.
