oh, yes i am and you know, over the last few days, houses are families in the country have been struggling, trying to get in touch with children and other members of family stock in ukraine, relying on news reports to get a sense of what's happening in the country and waiting for a course that brings them here at the jelly at board the arrivals dominos. but now, there was fear, have come to because one student from india has been killed in shelling in park eve . now this news comes, as evacuations, have picked up, hundreds of students have come back. in fact, just a couple of hours ago. hundreds of them walked to that gate. now the more here is it's a mix of relief and exhaustion. students. we spoke to said the hardest part of that journey was crossing the border. these folks are coming from neighboring countries of poland and hungary and romania. students say they have been taking long journeys

to these border crossings, waiting hours and even days in freezing temperature, with dwindling supplies, patchy for network. they also say that they have been man handled by border forces over there. and once they cross over, that's how basically they're coming home. this to consider themselves to be much lucky despite the really stressful journey. and that's because houses of students from india is talking you've seen many of them are in places like he and harkey of the government has advised them to leave immediately. but they've been posting videos and social media and a bunch are saying they don't know where to go. they don't know how to get there. the cues at the railway station are too long and they're very, very scared now as far as the evacuation. so the government is now considering sending larger airlines, larger defense carriers to get back more students. they've also deployed talk ministers to go to these border crossings and sort of manage the chaos there to try

and get as many of those students back to india. thank q, pop natal reporting from you tele airport. today. we're going to grab a break on our de series. you can see it's a very, very busy day, but it's, there will be continued special coverage of russia's invasion of ukraine in just a moment. more news and analysis on the way ah, ah, look forward to brighter sky's the winter sponsored my cattle airways. i once again welcomed another look at the international forecast which i believe we have yet more snow in the forecast for japan over the next couple of days. doesn't look too bad at the moment, but we do have a little system just off the coast. overhaul kyra, that will bring increasing snowfall as we go into the 2nd half of the week where the stays generally dry. want to rain showers coming through and this will help

rushes foreign minister was speaking, sir, gala prov defended the invasion of ukraine. he said there was a danger. the country could acquire nuclear weapons. ukrainian forces are under increased pressure though. a russian military convoy stretching 60 kilometers is advancing towards the capital. keith and ukraine's parliaments as forces from belarus if now entered its territory as well and ukraine. second city harkey is under renewed bombardment. the army says 70 soldiers have been killed in a rush not to the re striking a military base outside of the city. let's go to andrew simmons reporting from levine close to the border with poland. can i ask you and i just mentioned that in those headlines there, ukraine's parliament says forces from belarus of now entered its territory. that's right, this is a disturbing development since we're hearing from both the ukrainian parliament and

the spokesman spokesperson for the northern territorial defense forces are the column of armored vehicles, at least 11 of them carrying grad missile launchers. they've gone through the villages in the north western area of the country and it's sac. apparently they have 0 but big white zeros on each vehicle that fits with various, a lettering identities of, of, of armor vehicles all over the country. and alexander lucas jenko has some lucas shanker has been on record as saying, no way would this happen? pravda quoted him as saying, abs. it categorically this would not happen. he had been approached rather ukrainians ahead of the talks and negotiations on the border between russian

delegations and ukrainian delegations. i had been quoted as a, giving an assurance to a ukraine that there would be no involvement of his forces, jarring those negotiations. now they, the negotiations ended apparently with plans to be continued after consultations with the, the 2 capitals, moscow, and keith. but there is no suggestion now, but they are resuming. and of course, this is a situation whereby it's escalated the whole conflict with bella rues, becoming involved, as apparently is the case andrew, maybe i can get you to tell us also about and you know, i know we've talked about it a lot in the morning, but this sir, lodge convoy russian military convoy stretching for 60 kilometers, which we've seen and heard about it is a, you know, for russia, which was under pressure for apparently not getting as much done as was expected in

the 1st 5 or 6 days of his conflict. it's an ominous sign. it is an ominous sign. it is sir. fact that sir, many a military observers feel that this ukrainian response to the might of russia has been very much more successful than any one had conceived that there is. now of course, this developments a very large column and also another column coming from the south. one that's been well resisted from the west, but then never say never the ukrainians have so far been successful in attacking these columns, blocking their paths, blowing up bridges ahead of them. there is no suggestion right now what their defenses are. they're keeping their cards close to their chests. there is a number of indicates is that the ukrainians have been clever in the way they've managed things. now, the ambushes the,

the way they're tactical way in which they're using shoulder held missile launchers . their way they appear to have no air defenses, woman it. and then suddenly they do have air defenses. they are using almost guerrilla tactics in some parts of the country. and in other parts they're using heavy weaponry and really, really having some effect. thank you. enter simmons reporting from levine. let's take you back to brussels. now. european parliament is in session. this is roberta, mat solar who is the president of the e. u. parliament has been a lot of applause. busy and a lot of solidarity with you currency. the flows on states you to delay a collin of tanks, senior citizens standing up to face down russian troops with nothing but pride and sunflowers as their weapon. brave women forced to give birth

in metro stations next to their kalashnikov. they showed the world that our way of life is worth defending. it is worth a cost. all those who remember living under occupation will attest to that. all those standing up in belarus, all those looking to us in moldova, in georgia. it is worth it for us, for the next generation, for those in ukraine and around the world who believe in europe, and in our way. and for all those who wants to be free, our european response was on display over the last very painful days. this must be our, whatever it takes moment,

neighboring states have accepted hundreds of thousands of fleeing ukrainians. europeans sheltered ukrainians in their homes. we have implemented a series of unprecedented massive sanctions. we have gone further and will provide much needed weapons to ukraine. we have declared that russian aircraft and oligarchs, private jets are no longer welcome. in our open skies. we have moved for russia to be disconnected from the fit system. we whom we who burned kremlin, robert and tools, european citizens, organizations, businesses, sports have taken a clear and forceful stand underlining that they will not deal with all welcome and aggressor and europe stands ready to go. further still,

we recognize europe, ukraine's european perspective. and as a resolution clearly states, we welcome mr. president, ukraine's application for candidate status. and we will work for wards that gold because we win because we, we, we must face the future together. mister president, we stand with you in your fight for survival in this dark moment in our history. when you look to this european parliament, you will always find an ally, a space to address europe and the world, and always, always a friend. this european parliament has a long, proud history of being

a thorn in the side of autocrats. and in this spirit, i will seek a ban on any representatives of the kremlin from entering european parliament friendships is because aggressive both addresses and warmongers have no place in the house of democracy. dear president, dear members, let me finish out by stealth setting out for important principles for our future. first of all, europe can no longer remain reliant on kremlin gas. we need to redouble our efforts to diversify or energy systems toward the europe that is no longer at the behest of autocrats. that will put our energy security on stronger footing. secondly,

you can no longer welcome kremlin cash and pretend that there are no strings attached. futons oligarchs, and those who bankroll him should no longer be able to use their purchasing power to hide behind a veneer of respectability in our cities, in our communities or in our sports clubs. their super yachts should find no harbour in our europe, and we can no longer and we can no longer sell our sports to boot and friends, allowing them to circumvent our security. no more. sadly, investment in our defense must match our rhetoric. europe must move to

have a real security and defense union. we consume mostly that it is possible and desirable and more than anything. it is necessary. and fourthly, we must fight the kremlin disinformation campaign. and i call on social media and tech conglomerates to take the responsibility seriously. and to understand that there is no being neutral between the fire and the fire brigade. residents mission, president, wonder lion. hi, representative burrell, thank you for ensuring european unity and commitment in facing the stretch.

i know that all of us, all the members, this house will take the united message of europe, back to our constituencies. president valenze kate, thank you. we are together now. we will be together in the future because we are with ukraine. thank you. ah. oh sheesh

relations. they're huge, more than 20 universities. are there me? it's the city that has the largest number of universities in our country moreland here, the youth is bryce smart there. but the people who gathered there all the time and was getting there all the time for celebrating all celebrations and the largest square in our country, the freedom square. and he's a foolish and this is the largest square in europe. and that's true. this is probably freedom square. can you imagine this morning to cruise missiles hit this freedom square, dozens of kill ones. this is the price of freedom. what am wish we're fighting for us as a fluid, just for our land. and for alice freedom,

it's difficult by defining that all like cities of our country are now blocked. so nobody lived in this is going to enter and intervene without freedom and country. and believe you mean every square up to the days of no matter what it's called. it's going to be called to day freedom square in every city of our country on the fly. nobody's going to break and see where strong, where you train is with us a desire to see our children willingly ish alive. i think it's a fair one. yesterday 16 children were killed log again and again, prison put in is going to say that is some kind of operation and we are hitting a military infrastructure where our children, what kind of military factor is,

all the thank you very much for your staying message. strong message president for your

bravery and for your conviction, i will now give the floor to the speak of ukraine parliament for slander stefan took for his intervention. oh, you're a 1st of all, i would like to thank you for the possibility to speak to address the european parliament. and i would like to say, look at my back, you see the shoots that every everybody says to day, the whole world say today, 8 years ago. ukrainian people said categorically no to the russian aggression to the attempt to change there a way to home, to european nation, to the united european union to so

a very successful unified process that they demonstrated here in all these years. instead, our rights to develop our rights to be a democratic state that chooses itself its own way, was completely ruined by the country that doesn't respect international law or international principles that destroys territorial integrity and sovereignty. and the result you see today very clearly and mount off, healed amount of wounded. you know that the aggressor i text honking full scale to night to day. others? are the cities are being constantly under attack?

you know, i think that in the history of europe there is a cross roads. europe is now fighting aggressor and it is very important how this challenge to will be rebuffed by the united civilization. dear, dear fellow, mentor is, i know that you will look at a very whole range of serious economic sanctions that you will adopt against the aggressor. i would like you to understand that today ukraine is defending the border of the civilized world. and god for beads, ukraine falls. nobody knows where russian aggressive will stop.

i you know, when, when, when i was in my official suit and we were working in the parliament and we have been taken very important reformist, long was. but just to day i was 4 times descending into the basement. because because above my one and a half, so that old city there are bones miss isles and they do everything to break ukrainian spirit. but this wouldn't happen. so st. think now what can happen to europe? so if, if the russian horrible empire is renewed, if the european union would be able to protect the space of freedom which was created during the last tense dozens of years. and york is felt in eastern european countries now,

when russian tanks will confront their borders. them will to which other regions kremlin will look after it. conquerors ukraine said i would like to call for you to say so typically to support the unity of european union to support your friend to make a strategic partner in the most important act. don't be silent. you select all your, our friends and shows that you are today is unified as never because this read today is like never before and the best from foolish to the people of ukraine. and the thought the followers will be the royal resignation of our european.
