's and communications tower are the tower is obviously damaged by that. strike on the skyline. you only see black smoke, the tower is the tower is looks to be in sack, but sir, there was a lot of damage. oh and 5 people died according to the authorities here in ukraine. m kiva came under attack from a number of areas. and of course, there is an arm, a column in the north, an extraordinary m site from the air from satellite imagery, because it stretches a more than 60 kilometers in the front end of it. it was last reported to be about 17 kilometers from a center of a city, no sign that it's moved. certainly, we don't have satellite images, no sign that it's moved and no real massive escalation in the shelling of from the
9:04 pm
column. although some residences have been hit by it, and it is a grim situation in the city because it does look as if that column and further columns from the south and from the west in particular, are moving in the direction of the capital. certainly looking as if there's going to be an all out assault at some stage. all of this must be having a terrible psychological impact on people that massively particularly in hoc. he's the 2nd city in ukraine where there have been more bombardments, only a short time ago. awful scenes of the city under attack or other on the in the morning on tuesday, the local authority headquarters was attacked at by missiles rockets. it was absolutely devastated, and there were some injuries but no deaths because
9:05 pm
a lot of people were being sensible and staying a below ground. however, and less than 24 hours prior to that attack, that had been a lot of missiles raining down on a district, a residential district. however, a number of the deaths and indeed lots of injuries. and also military observers, i saw a what were signs of cluster bombs, which have been used by russia in the past, basically in syria. there in contravention of international treat, is treated that russia hasn't signed, but nevertheless, against international law. now ukraine is accusing russia of deliberately targeting at civilian areas that's denied by russia. or there is definitely a move on by the russian forces the to lessen their attacks. no, not lesson, but certainly not. use soley attacks on military targets. it does appear now. that
9:06 pm
infrastructure is being attacked and indeed these, these attacks, as no doubt they were in residential areas, particularly at the one in hoc eve. and there is also a report from the or the, the ukrainian military that 70 soldiers were killed on monday in a base in the north east of the country. and in terms of morale, it seems the forces that the soldiers are absolutely determined to push forward that the man, this isn't propaganda, that's what we're seeing on the streets. and as far as the people go, of course, this trauma everywhere, this absolute fair on the faces of ukrainians. so many of them fleeing for their lives. so many of them just crushed together trying to get on trains. but when you think of the population we're talking about more than 40000000 people in this country may be around half a 1000000. ah, have actually attempted to leave, but that's that leaves so many people trapped in their homes or traps in their
9:07 pm
sellers or traps in metro stations. not knowing what to do and not knowing how logistically to get into safety out zeros. anderson as reporting live there from live in ukraine, as you heard russia's ground forces were advancing on multiple fronts in the east, ukraine's 2nd largest city hockey. coming out of fierce bombardment in the south. the port city of maria pole on the constant shilling. russian forces of pushed up from crimea all the way to carson a moth of the capital cave. russian forces and artillery had been building up. let's take a closer look now. at all developments from right across the country to day. russian armored vehicles keep pouring into ukraine with one convoy stretching 60 kilometers. they are heading to ukraine's capital keep. these people were gone in fear as russian troops make their way through the southern city of harrison. also

9:09 pm
russian armored vehicles keep pouring into ukraine with one convoy stretching 60 kilometers. they are heading to ukraine's capital keith. these people look on in fear as russian troops make their way through the southern city of harrison also. oh enough enough, she pleads in motion. do the kremlin, says its forces are only targeting military installations, but in war there are no such clear lines. this is the result of russian shelling on the region of done yet. homes have been destroyed. it's freezing. nothing makes sense. but you will notice nucleus fossa, much more dusky. why is nobody saving us? why is it like he have city? district is cursed. everything has been abandoned here. they were firing at us,
9:10 pm
but we didn't hear a single shot in that direction. who is protecting us just because we vladimir putin war has entered homes and turned lives upside down. this maternity ward has been moved to a bomb shelter in the city of khaki, but has come under heavy attack. for these new mothers, these are uncertain and terrifying times above ground. people have been documenting the damage on their mobile phones west of the capital cave. what was once an ordinary part of daily life is no more. life has come to a standstill in many parts of the country. many years big russian have ties to russia, but this war has now become deeply personal. kaiser wilker, you know, green of what it was it, i do want to speak russian simply because putin speaks russian. i live here and my mother is russian. we are. and we used to speak in russian all the time we studied
9:11 pm
here. and after this, after putin attacked us, i deliberately switched to ukrainian. i will speak only ukrainian, whatever takes up a book. roy women give to this war is now almost into a full week with most people here wondering what is it all for stephanie decker. i'll g 0 u. s. president joe biden has held a 30 minute phone call with ukraine's president vladimir zalinski lisco live out of the white house al zeros. alan fisher. is there alan? what do we know of what was said in his vocal or? well, it's been a busy day for joe biden when it comes to dealing with you, created a meeting with his national security team. he got his intelligence brief. first thing as normal this morning. no doubt ukraine was at the top of the, lest he spoken to president zalinski several times over the last week. this conversation lasting 30 minutes. not a detail rudo yet from the white house. but we know from president zalinski and his twitter feed that they talked about security and they also talked about the ongoing
9:12 pm
campaign of sanctions against russia. there is a concern. we've heard this from one senator who got an intelligence briefing on monday evening that the russians are beginning to encircle, keep a particularly from the west. now that is worrying for the ukrainians because that were cut off supply lines. and of course, that is the main route n for any either including any security aid that is being provided by western nations or like the united states. it's also been a discussion for joe biden to the about. energy supplies knows been agreed that 60000000 barrels of oil will be released globally. the united states will take $30000000.00 out of the petroleum national reserve and put them on to the market that might ease the pressure on the price at the pumps. a big concern for joe biden, something that he will address in the state of the union, which is now just a few hours away. his big speech of the year. no doubt, he will start talking about ukraine,
9:13 pm
his expected to strongly criticized russia and make the point that sometimes there are costs to standing up for democracy. and that means that the american people, me see higher food prices in the short term because of what's going on in ukraine. and also those higher prices at the pump we've been talking about. then he will pivot to mainly a domestic issues because of course this is an election year. at the end of 2022. in november there will be mid term elections and the house of representatives, and possibly even the senate up for grabs. if democrats do not do well, the mormon joe biden's personal pulling is very low and not the sort of thing you would expect to give an electoral bones come november. so ukraine it will get a mention. but the state of the union expected to concentrate mainly on domestic issues like rising inflation notice 40 year high here in the united states, rising cost and the bill back better bill that joe biden didn't manage to push through. but would like to see elements included,
9:14 pm
such as better health care for the elderly, or perhaps better care for younger people, including lifting more children out of poverty. all of those to come in a few hours from joe biden on a very important speech normally domestically. but of course, coming against the backdrop of this huge international crisis out there, as alan fischer reporting live from the white house in washington. alimony thanks will. earlier ukraine's leader made an emotional appeal to the e u parliament to allow his country to join the block from the mir zalinski received a standing ovation of delivering his speech. while speaking out against russia top e official said that they will have to look seriously at ukraine's request. mrs. it was a lie. we are fighting for our existence for our survival. and this is the main motivation for us. but we are also fighting to be an equal member of europe. and i
9:15 pm
think that today we are showing who we are. the european union is with us, with ukraine. the european union will be stronger without ukraine. it'll be lonely . we've proved our strength. we've proved that we're at least the same as you please prove that you're with us. please prove that you're not going to let us go prove that you're really, europeans. the actions of the kremlin are severely damaging the long term interests of russia and its people. more and more russians understand this as well . they are marching for peace and freedom. and how does the kremlin respond to this by arresting thousands of them. but ultimately, the longing for peace and fries and freedom cannot be silenced. there is another russia, besides proteins, tanks and we extend our hand of friendship to these other russia. be
9:16 pm
a sure they have our support more from our diplomatic editor james bowes, in brussels. it shows the level of feeling, certainly in the european parliament. and perhaps that shows some indication of the feeling across the european union right now was 676 members of the european parliament who took part in this vote quite a lengthy resolution. the part of it urged the european institutions to, to try and help get you trained to be a member to try and speed up that process. and out of the 676, there were 26 who stayed there were 13 against there was 637 who voted in favor. so really overwhelming by the european parliament in favor of the idea of membership of ukraine. european parliament doesn't decide it's a process in which the european commission comes up with an opinion that then goes
9:17 pm
to the european council. that's the 27 countries of the you and the heads of government or head of state. it was sitting that when they say as the european council. and that then would be to come up with the idea of a candidate status. and then you have lots of little different hurdles that you have to jump and, and things that you have 2 boxes you have to take and qualifications that you have to meet before you can become a member. and it does take some countries some considerable time, become a member in geneva, delegates of the united nations human rights council walked out in protest during a speech by russia's foreign medicine. the russian foreign minister was forced to deliver his address before him by the video link. the russian mission and geneva accused each states of blocking his flight path. so gala ralph defended the invasion of ukraine and said that there was a danger that the country could acquire nuclear weapons. us secretary of state entity, lincoln spoke about what's happening in ukraine and repression in russia. we must
9:18 pm
underscore russia's obligation even in it's not a lawful invasion to respect international humanitarian law, including as it relates to the protection of civilians in the conflict council, members should stop using language implying that all sides bear equal responsibility for the unprovoked attack of one side this isn't even handed, it's wrong and fails to place accountability where it belongs. but those are the very soon and i guess which would be nice states and its allies are creating their own new world order. as of 2014, the kiev regime is waging war against its own people. the constitution of ukraine has been changed and the new nazi's that have game power there are waging real terrors live out of moscow. terrace dawson, berry as their doors, given today's events, what are the chances of another round of talks between russia and ukraine? while, according to the russians,
9:19 pm
they are due to take place on march 2nd, wednesday. and they are expecting that the ukrainian delegation will show up yet again. now they believed that these talks will be held again in belarus. as the on that the 1st round of negotiations between the 2 sides, they were held along the border of ukraine, m and bella, bruce. but there was some discussion about the location as well because the opinions didn't want to travel to beller was given the fact that it is one of the countries that i was home to russian troops. and that is one of the points of entry that could be possible for the russian soldiers to enter into print something. the bell russian president says, has not happened than that. there are no troops that have been deployed from his country into ukraine. and this is the cause for concern for the opinions, but regardless, they haven't officially said whether or not they will be at the table on wednesday
9:20 pm
to discuss with their russian counterparts a possible way to get out of this crisis. the ukranian president vladimir zalinski has said that that they took this evening. he said he, i was asked whether or not the ukrainians will show up in belarus on wednesday, and he's just said we will see said no clear confirmation. but there hasn't been huge expectations out of these talks to begin with, but many analysts here believe, as long as the 2 sides are able to sit down together, there is a possibility that they could find a way out of it the pregnancy that in order for these talks to actually have some real meaning the russians have to stop at their attacks on the ukrainians. while these talks are at least going on and the russians have said that they will not have any preconditions sat for these talks. it's seen as a way for at the a russian president vladimir putin to offer at least an, even if it is a cosmetic, according to the opinions, a way to find
9:21 pm
a solution out of the conflict that is ongoing. but at the pregnancy said, unless the russians stop their attacks on their country, it's very unlikely that they'll achieve anything from these talks in the rushes that said, the ukrainian military needs to lay down their arms and then they will stop their attacks on you pray. so very different positions course, that's it, whether or not the 2 sides will meet again on wednesday. we'll have to wait and see . oh, there is no such a very there live in moscow or somebody thanks. did turkey as president type rich, a typo to one has sir called on ukraine and russia to immediately stop fighting and to contribute to world peace. turkey is designated russia's assault on ukraine, a war. and it said it would execute an international pact, restricting use of the turkish straits. it's called the 1936 montreaux convention and gives turkey control of a 2 important waterways. the darnell and boss for a straits vessels use it to travel from the black sea out to the mediterranean,
9:22 pm
through the ma ma receive that it's the base for rushes black sea fleet that's attacked ukraine's southern coast. the montero packed allows turkey to close the straits to all foreign warships in time of war or when threatened. but there's an exception. if a warship is returning to its own port than its passage cannot be prevented, turkeys, foreign minister has said that this right shouldn't be abused. so ships that are allowed to pass to that basis should not then join the war for moral this. let's go live to a sample out there as to my law shell is sat there to, well, how is turkey going to enforce this? well, i mean it's, we're all within, it's right based on no international. and as you mentioned, based on the treaty to essentially prevent puppets of worship scoring, who are the man or 2 in question? adrian is how was navigating this war took a couple of days to declare. it's a war,
9:23 pm
obviously because of the consequences of the current meaning gets shot. that's very important naval routes to russian worship. now we're seeing different tone or messages coming from the russian presidency, as you mentioned over to one speaking in the past couple of hours. and he was, had 2 very strong messages, one cool for peace saying that it was the duty of both sides to work towards peace will be at the fact that the invasion i'm the attacks began from moscow towards the 2nd was a very near criticism nation. each of the interior prices were there because natal snowed down in its welcoming all was not so welcome and off your cream to join the block. and even said, bro, would we see similar lack of support from nature member states to try to start? she was coming, obviously it's a very high so for our goal, because on the one hand, as the strong relationships with moscow,
9:24 pm
military cannot make an even political summer. something on the other hand, it is overseas, the 2nd largest military. so, and it's also a very strong ally of ukraine or the one has been careful not to upset you there, sorry, but whether they're going to be able to sit on the fence. so just be pretty much on board. missed appear to be switzerland in this crisis. it's quite difficult to see because at some point will continue, is there is going to be reputation, not least on the relationship with russia because of the need, maybe for russia and the from to use those maritime waterways. i'm, i'm a patient one nato. if it decides to get more directly involved military, i'll just jamal a shout reporting lives out from istanbul, jamal. many, thanks. ukraine's allies, providing it would lethal aid to defend itself against one of the world's biggest
9:25 pm
military superpowers. the u. s. has provided anti tank missiles and given the green lights for baltic states to transfer there's to the u. k, sweden of others ascending thousands of other anti tank weapons. other nato and european countries are handing over hundreds of surface to air missiles to shoot down russian planes and helicopters. european countries are providing dozens of russian made fighter jets as many as 70, according to ukraine's parliament. richard whites is a security military analyst at wiki strategy to start live via skype for washington, d. c. of course, having all of these weapons, richard is one thing, having the expertise to put them to good use though, is a lover that does ukraine to the ukranian army forces, have that expertise presents precisely the issue. so we know that a portion of the ukrainian armed forces were trained and the systems before the
9:26 pm
fighting began. and probably they'd use some of their weapons or lost some of their aircrafts so they could make good use of additional missiles or planes that they can get them. but you can't just give these systems to train civilian recruits or even military people who haven't spent months learning how to use them. so there's a limited absorption capacity. i think more important than i presume their deliberate needs, the well is going to be medical equipment, communication equipment. they can't rely on cell phones since the russians can identify where they are concentrated, intact, those they will probably need night vision, body armor, a bunch of other material that can be more readily used by people who haven't been trained. and the armed forces on that special weapon tree. what do you think of russia's campaign so far? richard is, is it going, as you would have expected it to go?
9:27 pm
now it's gone completely different from what most people expected. it looks like what they tried to do was the chief, the objectives, the us and coalition obtained against saddam hussein's iraq. that is, destroy the armed forces or a defeat the any other resistance occupy most not all the country put in a government more. you like better and then demilitarize the country and then with cry or troops. but they use the techniques that the coalition used in afghanistan, that is sandy ana, a small groups of detachment, not much air support, not much combine, and armor support. have them dash drop them into airports, have making dash to try and seize key positions and that fail pretty badly. i think they overestimated their capacity to,
9:28 pm
to engage and that's kind of operational, they hadn't really trained for i think they underestimated the capacity of the ukrainian armed forces resist and they potentially overestimate amount of popular support they would be safe. is it inevitable though, the russia will eventually achieve its objectives? and what happens then, as far as ukraine's allies are concerned? it depends what those objectives are. they are still unclear. are they to occupy the entire country? well, i'm not, it's not clear that they could do that even after they cease. they'll be a lot of opposition. they're growing popular resistance fighters. they certainly don't have enough troops. they probably need more than 100000, perhaps several 100000 troops. we saw and iraq and afghanistan, how difficult these kind of insurgencies can be. but if it's more limited, is that just to cease and then declare victory and put in
9:29 pm
a puppy government that they should be able to achieve. if this armor, the lengthy column of armor, artillery and soldiers that were all watching the slowly make its way to surround the capital. and then either cdc does that or starts taking walk by block. what about all of those nato troops that have been moved to the eastern borders of, of the block? what happens to them in that situation? well, they will continue to protect the supply lines right now. they're going through paul and hungry refuses to allow the transfer of lethal aid so they may be new roots help them through the bach and romania there on the border just to, to facilitate those transfers. de presumably, are providing some intelligence about what's going on correctly for air drops and air naval movements. but their main function is to,
9:30 pm
to prevent the russian forces from attacking other countries that are in the alliance. the baltic states, paul and paul, and above all. and they will stay there and accomplish that mission, regardless of what happens in ukraine, which is good to too many thanks. indeed, richard went to that in washington, still to come here on these are they are used to being celebrated all over the world, but some of russians, most famous musicians and artists, are about to be receive more jeers than cheers. then you have to stop. i'm not a politician, you have to stop honestly and in sports, chelsea's manager reacts angrily after being quizzed about the intentions of the plums. russian owner ah,

9:43 pm
particularly doing his job, but his faith could do more for that example. there was a good to announce it that he will request 040 sation before the judges to start the mitigation that the legal br office is. the prosecutor acting alone, had to go to a judge's to disable for the federal struggling mitigation. however, that particular in a very thought to, i would say in the bed where he could do here, no ask for because the board that he, they state say, but these can refer the situation, expediting, the mitigation because it any, if they bought the could send referred to as yahoo, grain prices see that, and then that mean that particular without the mitigation tomorrow, without neither a father. but he says for the judges, better for the ball is in the hand of states african fades shorter than yet. and, and tunisia are the barbie's all the rope and guns is,
9:44 pm
i think by the close of the american canada and you see land, a japan, korea, all of them gun show sort of that a day and effort. but the crimes and make every fella could be a collective refill. now imagine if all european union countries bless all the south american countries. all african countries make the fact that it will be that the canyon hammock alone. no. yeah, i did pretty good. really good to talk to yourself, but i think steve lewis burrito a couple other speaking today from california. president biden's state of the union speech is expected to address a trillion dollar plan to rebuild the country's existing infrastructure. don't handle reports from chicago. chicago, the crossroads of america is the busiest rail hub in the united states. built on a crumbling century old, rusted foundation. a quarter of the freight trains in the us and half of all
9:45 pm
intermodal trains ferrying shipping containers and trailer trucks roll through here on ancient rails, it can take more than a day to cross. welcome to the epicenter of the american infrastructure crisis. some of the worst rosure bridge deterioration and modern western societies. and we're seeing a lot of the interstate bridges and reach and their useful life. and there's legitimate safety issues, a lot of bridges. the price of failure can be catastrophic. his residence of minneapolis discovered in 2007, when a bridge collapse, sending cars and trucks plunging into the mississippi river, killing 13 in his state of the union address president joe biden is expected to continue touting the economic benefits of a bipartisan infrastructure law meant to change all that were rebuilding america were going to invest in america and build a better america. and we found ours before the president arrived in pittsburgh to talk up the plan in january, a city bridge, one of 45000 in the us,
9:46 pm
that engineers have rated in poor condition, collapsed. the plan spends a trillion dollars rebuilding roads, ports, and bridges installing up to half a 1000000 electric vehicle, charging stations improving the nation's electrical grids, replacing all lead water pipes across the country. and of course, upgrading freight and passenger rail. there are major projects all over the us that need redoing spectacular bridges, massive roadways. but most of the projects are like this mundane crossings that are rusted and decaying and at risk of failing that were biting season economic revival . some republicans see waste and higher taxes. this bell is also a liberal spending wish list. the fact of the matter is this bel spends too much money and it's not paid for. many of the details of america's rebuilding remain murky,
9:47 pm
but the effort to remake the nation's infrastructure is already begun. john henderson, al jazeera chicago. that's kind of you on this down from kyle mays. he's joining us for los angeles, california, carlos, assistant professor of african american studies indian studies on the hist and history of the university of california could chevy with us. so what are you hoping to hear then from tonight's state of the union address, which case it away under way, want just have a 6 hours from now? yeah, thank you for having me. so i, i hope to hear from biden, to day more about the bill back better plan on providing greater access to child care. increased one for education, and a stronger sense of protecting vulnerable citizens around cove with 19 and more things around canceling student loans. i think biden has responsibility to engage in that sort of discourse and i hope he will discuss those things tonight.
9:48 pm
what has the pipe administration then got right in the past year? was it fallen short? i think they've gotten a few things. right. so for instance, a group we often don't talk about. native americans designed the american rescue plan act, giving roughly $30000000000.00 and $20000000000.00 in direct payments to native peoples. the infrastructure investment in jobs for binding, $13000000000.00 to help people do droughts and prove water and sanitation. and he's also signed a record number of native peoples to be authentic confirmations. and so i think he's done some of those things. right. and as i mentioned, the build that better plan can certainly help, but there's so much more that i think he should be doing for every day american, especially working for working class people. and if he, if he did all of that, what would america be? a less divided nation. do you think americans already
9:49 pm
a divided nation you know, even trying to pass various forms of legislation to fund some of these very important things. issues around co, it mass mandates dropping major cities throughout the us. issues around and of course critical race theory and those things are continuing to be divisive for american across the board when you can't even teach us history because it's standing for a critical race theory. so i'm not sure if those things, even if he did those things and whether it's nominating a black or make a tiny jackson, brown, or dev holland as the 1st date of american woman to be secretary of interior. those things aren't necessarily going to get rid of the divisiveness that exists already in countries. really get to talk to so many thanks, days of english as calm as that. and los angeles transport in santa

9:52 pm
invasions, instances of conflict, persecution of particular groups. so countries, minorities, and so i hope that this now sets a new standard, not just for the, for the sports organizations globally. because i think what sci fi isn't, has now shown is that if there is a will, if there is a desire, there is certainly a political way for organizations to, to respond to the kind of situation that we now find ourselves in. i think now we've reached tipping points and we've gone past that tipping point. and so what we will see moving forward from here are kohls, from, from clubs, from teams, from countries, from national associations governing bodies from the stakeholders in sports to, for, for the likes of the, for the i o. c and others to take their if you like that,
