1:02 pm
checkpoints surrounding the city. was this durable that isn't in your world room units off to russian are forces to control of the regional center, of course, on probably the civilian. why till infrastructure and city transport will work as usual. the city doesn't suffer from local food and basic commodities. negotiations continue between russian command or the city and regional administration of what we're supporting, the functioning of social infrastructure. you're so funny. okay. as the aversion and his 7th day, this is where it stands, the areas shaded in red, controlled by russia and by allied separatists. as we mentioned, harrison is now under russian control. and ukrainian soldiers say both been surrounded in the poor city. ameria pole, and northwest of que ukrainian soldiers are under bombardment, including in the city of the mirror. by john hall joins us now live from
1:03 pm
the vive, near the border with poland, joan, and let's start with harrison if russia has indeed taken that city, how significant is that? well find simply if that is the case and if it is sustained then has on becomes the 1st ukranian city to be captured by the russians on this 7th day of the invasion. lots of other cities under sustained assaults. some others complete the encircled pass on the 1st to be taken strategically important on the didn't put river just to the west of crimea to the east of crimea. further along the road towards those breakaway territories is the very significant port city of mario paul. it is encircled part of an effort here, both to create a land bridge between crimea, an extra 2014 and those eastern territories. and also potentially an effort to widen out and take the whole of the black sea coast to the south of ukraine
1:04 pm
developments. also up in the north, of course, you mentioned that around the capital key of the big price for both sides, still under sustain pressure pressure that is likely to grow worse and worse during the course of the evening. last night to missile strikes hit the tv tower, 5 civilians walking the streets below died. they said by the ukrainian authorities to have been from the same family. the 2nd missile went past the tv tower and struck the holocaust memorial about being yacht, a very significant holocaust memorial site. that of course, the sides of nazi atrocities, world war 2. the irony is impossible to ignore part of the justification of this attack by letting me put in is to quote de nazi fi, this country to the west of kia. to me, you mentioned that there an alleged cruise missile strike at a military base that goes awry. it's homes instead for people said to have died there, but it is car keys in the east that he's are still receiving really the brunt of
1:05 pm
russian ferocity at the moment. an enormous city, the 2nd largest in the country, one and a half 1000000 people. the majority ethnic russian under attack by russian forces very close to the russian border at 8, 10 am this morning. the 1st strikes go in, allegedly hitting a building belonging to the state security service. also a university hours earlier at 3 am paratroopers. a said to have landed to the north of the city center and engaged in heavy fighting with ukrainian forces. there a military hospital was hit, an ammo dump as well, only adding to the misery of civilians in that city. it's been encircled for a couple of days now. residential areas have come under indiscriminate rocket attacks. and of course, remember that yesterday, tuesday, the center of the city freedom square itself attacked allegedly by cruise missiles taking out the admin is central administration building, and the opera house is my report now on the events of the last 24 hours,
1:06 pm
russia has widened the scope of its war on ukraine. a suspected cruise missile hit the local administration, building in freedom square, no less in the center of the eastern city of her cave. homes regularly come under fire. now to this is an apartment building in the black sea port, city of have san and this hockey again, who's guess nobody's really briefly? the russian liberators have come. the man shouts. in the aftermath of tuesday's missile strike, president followed the man zelinski, addressing the european union called it the price of freedom this morning to peruse may hit this freedom square, dozens of killed ones. this is the price of freedom. the translators struggles to contain his emotion. what we're fighting versus us will use just for our land
1:07 pm
and for our freedom. 70 ukrainian soldiers died when a military base was targeted by heavy artillery in october. but the veil has fallen from russia's claims that it's carrying out a special operation aimed purely at military targets. civilians are increasingly fer, gave me, and as night fell, her keys came under heavy attack. again, a change of tactics, a possible consequence of russia's slow moving advance on the ground. satellite imagery shows a column of artillery and armour, logistics, and support units more than 60 kilometers long bearing down on the capital key of from the north. another is advancing from the south. the aim to encircle the capital, intimidate the civilian population,
1:08 pm
and force the surrender of ukraine's government. western intelligence points to poor communications and frequent mechanical breakdowns. there is a dog in ukrainian resistance as well captured russian soldiers are said to have been told that they'd be welcomed here as liberators. this is how people actually feel at the heart of it all in the capital key. if attacks have resumed, including on the main television transmitter, cutting public broadcasts, people already eking out an existence in conditions of unimaginable stress. know that worse is to come. and the scramble to leave the city on the few exit roots still available, is growing more desperate by the hour to pause to fighting has not yet come to the western city of believe, but they will be ready for it if he does civil defense units have formed all over
1:09 pm
the country and basic training and weapons handling is available for anyone that wants it. they know the time may come when they'll have to fight the russians themselves for control of their streets. the government, as it believes russia is deliberately shelling cities, including residential areas and civilian infrastructure and the goal. it says to create mass panic and civilian casualties. but one thing you don't sense here is panic. instead, the steely determination of ukrainian civilians to resist and fight back the we want to study. we don't want to be afraid of the word. the young in ukraine students multicultural, multilingual, joined the chorus for people who don't bright minds, who's ideals until a week ago was still intact, and whose hopes and hogs, now broken,
1:10 pm
or others who are stuck. jona whole al jazeera leave the war grained president. lot him as an in sky has spoken out and says russia is trying to erase his country's heritage by targeting science. like as jerone mentioned, the boyar holocaust memorial in cave. does it the museum? this is beyond humanity. such myself strikes me that for many russians ow key if it's absolutely foreign, i know nothing about the capital about our history. they have orders to a race, our history, our country and all of us. sure done. you what will be next of even bobby ya is head. what other military object? nice or base, the threatening russia. st. sophie is cathedral lover, st. andrews. church. whatever they dream about, there are mother the russian. mothers are losing their children in an absolute foreign country for them. think about this number. almost 6000 russian soldiers
1:11 pm
have been killed. these are the umbrella meters live for us now, and then he pro, in a ukraine hotter. just bring us up to speed. what's the latest where you are? well, i mean, you can see just behind me at the city is really shut down everybody at home. it's been like this for a few days. there have been a fair amount of air cyrus, but as far as we know, nothing has landed here, but at least 4 or 5 times a day. those sirens are activated and omitted. she tell us is because something is loaned further east in this direction. so they're taking all pre to coaches and this kind of air siren is activated. not only hin in new pro, but it's cap is at the same time as in kev and in many other cities, people here are mobilizing, are they are preparing displays has become old. so the 1st stop for
1:12 pm
those fleeing, for example, had he does who manage to get out of her? he because we've actually been as speaking a mother and her daughter been trying to get out of there for the last 2 days is too dangerous. the mother doesn't have the courage to take that decision because she wants to protect her daughters or they're sitting down in the shelter and trying to figure out what to do. you also have those who are fleeing the south of the country as upper ridge now, which is an area where russian tags are advancing and well, you have a lot of people displacing from that. coming to the new pro. now we've been talking about the 600000 or more who have been reaching the borders of poland, romania, and will dover wherever they can reach to get out of the country. here you still have hundreds of thousands of people who have to make a very long track before they reach any border to close. his board is about 800
1:13 pm
kilometers. from here, you cannot drive a night, you have to stagger that trip. so at the moment, nipper is slowly becoming that one center where the displace 1st come the is a train station. the chains are still going there over packed, but certainly people do bridge themselves at some point. it will be the turn of the city, and the big question is then, how'd you move all these people who came here for safety to the next stop? was my next question, how to, how are people preparing? i mean, i don't know to do people have underground bunkers. are they going into into tube stations when they're air raids? like how people preparing for for what some seas is inevitable? well at this point, anything that is a basement is a shelter. a day are public buildings that have underground floors, those would become a shelter. we were actually at a movie theater that ironically,
1:14 pm
was built in the 1950s by the soviets and had a bomb shelter already building at the time the threat was coming from western powers. well now people preparing that shelter, which is actually quite stuffy, humid with poor ventilation, but they will have to do with that. there's no other choice. and then all around is city, wherever you go, you find these groups, have volunteers, people just buying at whatever they can afford. bringing water, bringing blank is bringing basic necessity in kits for all these displays coming and also ship sewing support. judy are me. i and people also quite quite angry at russia. i've also met soldiers, who as so do who said that at the beginning he wasn't very happy with what was happening in the you are my dad. he didn't believe that those brute as back in 2014, that actually unleashed all of this, should have happened in that way. but now he says of the problem is that ukraine is
1:15 pm
just one per piece of the puzzle. and he says, if we look at all what happened over the past few years, that is in georgia, where does with these in moldova, whether it's with the self proclaimed republics of lugens and on yes, is basically russia wanting to retake older charities. so he thinks at that point that you know, no one is going to be safe. ukraine will have to pay for his life in a much bigger game that doesn't have to necessarily do with ukraine because he, he is a russian speaker. he doesn't believe that vladimir putin is here to protect a ethnic rushes and russians because nobody believes that at this stage. because what says unfolding specially inherently hold on the me there for us in the pro. thank you. well carina, she got oak is a senior lecturer in international relations at the national university of kia academy. she was on
1:16 pm
a train leaving here on tuesday and tells us about her experience i was teaching whether whether i should leave and when i should leave. but to yesterday it was the understand and came that i need to take my family out in safety. nothing is no longer normal. and there is not, not a single element of life in ukraine that is normal. and it's just a dramatic change of everything in 5 days. and so the tickets that we will change, of course there were irrelevant it to just who whoever gets squeezed into the train can move and everybody was actually squeezed into to make space for, for other people. if people were in turn change in seats to, to provide each other opportunity to have some rest during that 10 hour journey. and so it's, it's just, you know, mart,
1:17 pm
marshall low. and mark marshall la circumstances ukrainian refugees have received an outpouring of help in poland. many who cross the border found shelter with polish families, as well as a free ride to other european countries. more than half a 1000000 people have fled ukraine in the wake of russia's invasion. the boston reports now from, with the s on the poland ukraine border. yes, it's rush hour at the local community center in lou batch of 15 kilometers from the border with ukraine. that knows that that is a retired threat and lung which the cher and is collecting goods donated by people from all over europe. thought i was myself. we are helping people on the other side of the board are the ones who stayed behind who can't leave yesterday. will witness an incident when a disabled boy was not allowed to the ukraine because he was over 18. he and his
1:18 pm
family were forced to turn back. i could not bear to watch it, but we have to help many of the goods men for the ukrainian army to the post queer monotony. we're packing plastic plates for the army on the other side of the border because they have a lack of everything. so we are sending food bread, everything that is easy to prepare. since russia invaded ukraine, the new to has been driving across the board every day. so there's a number on our driver, took a family of 9 people to the house. we are old crying with them when we so the tragedy to children were so weak and the mothers were busing out. crossing the border is always tricky, but the women say that today. busy they have a lucky day because the border guard is someone they know and it's going to be hopefully much easier to bring the goods in. so as
1:19 pm
i am going to cry, they can just cross the border. most refugees came from the region near the ukrainian capital kia that came on the heavier tech in the past days. like i said, i was in so my husband drove us to the border. we lived on february 26th and we travelled for 2 days and we stayed at the board for 2 days. my husband been went back to fight and i am extremely worried about him. so situation was very unpleasant. we heard very loud explosions. that is why i am here. despite the continuous stream of people trying to leave border guards checked every car thoroughly. people eagerly waiting until the gate to safety will open in front of them. only a few more me to send it outside of ukraine, traveling for 4 days, some of them. and i have mixed emotions than grateful that they finally get to safety. but very,
1:20 pm
very worried about what they're leaving behind. dannetta is we leave to find a less chaotic situation. and in the past few days, you for this i always share the as they are not giving up its heart. this woman has travelled for 4 days, but she does not need to stay longer the border because the queue is shorter than before. people seem less exhausted this time, i'm not crying. as you can see. the new das mission has been accomplished for now, but she will return with more goods as long as rush us missiles and buckets force people out of ukraine. and steph is gone for us now in she measure a city in eastern poland. step, what is happening there? where you are right now, ah, well, i'm at the train station in commercial and is a lot of activity here. train from my ukraine are coming in. they are expected to hear any moment a lot of 8th,
1:21 pm
all so being collected here. what am 600000 people have left ukraine? most of them have come here in poland at the border, but said you is making itself ready for more. millions and millions of rational refugees are expected here in the next few weeks. that would lead a large influx of their movement of refugees. so for decades, maybe up to 4 or 5000000 people as screaming into the e. u at the moment, lot of polish people are helping lee out your health is overwhelming. a lot of people have taken their families in, but they're also a lot of foreign students are coming from your brain. i've been studying, they have trouble finding a place as you see them a lot around the station here, hanging around with the train is expected to arrive, but there's also a lot of humanitarian aid from going back into your freight trains full of good
1:22 pm
going to you great, and also people go in here to help. okay. step. and there's also been hyphened security in the city in the last 24 hours. why is that? absolutely. i can see a lot of police here as well at the railway station. what happened is an incident yesterday last night, dozens of for far right to football support of started rolling to sleep here, asking or shouting racist remarks, looking for foreign refugees basically refugees from non european countries. they were looking for them here at the railway station. police have confirmed 3 people were beaten up, what i hearing these were african students. so there was a lot of anxiety. of course, among the refugees. many of these students had a hard time reaching ukraine. b u great,
1:23 pm
i have to say reach in poland because they had a lot of trouble at the board, but also they been reports about them being thrown off trains so that they came here and now dear face with this new threat, i have to say it's still a container that they are guarding to suit to value wealth, but you can imagine that there are many concerns, especially after what they've been through any great killer. hey, i want to leave it at the time. thank you for that steadfast, and they're in the middle of the un nuclear watchdog. the i. e is holding a special session in vienna to discuss the security of ukraine's nuclear plants. russian troops recently took control of chernobyl, where radioactive waste is being stored. it's got to burn in smith, who joins us now from moscow. ah, bernard, just tell us the latest what we're hearing from the kremlin. it occurs at his daily briefing a little bit earlier on. ah, it sir, describing
1:24 pm
a huge amount of what it called nationalist units that must be got rid of still in ukraine, says russia has no claims on any other countries, borders her and on sanctions. it says moscow, a needs to formulate a harsh, fought out, clear response against measures taken against its economy. but dimitry pass. gov. he's the kremlin spokesman. he says that no one is going to shoot one's self in the forts. as you know, russia makes a vast amount of its money, most of his foreign exchange on exports. ready of oil and gas europe heavily reliant, particularly on air gas from russia. and so russia would, would not perhaps turn off the taps there because that would cost it even more than the sanctions already. ready ready costing it, and it says that a strong blow, a strong, heavy blow has been dealt to russia's economy and the military. you have seen reports earlier on in this program. you'll have seen the reports of
1:25 pm
a civilian infrastructure being damaged. the russian military insists it is not targeting civilian infrastructure, it says it's in its special military operation as it calls it. it's taken full control of the regional. ready center of care san its air force is as it delivered a massive strike on ukrainian military infrastructure and a significantly there claiming advances in don't ask and lew ganske in the netscape they say they've moved 58 kilometers, advancing across the original front lines in an la ganske, 75 kilometers these, these 2 self declared republics in eastern ukraine that russia has recognized as a people's republics. nobody and not internationally recognized. but that is the advance that are rushers, military says is making that then. and so one of the chances then giving this increasing assault on ukraine,
1:26 pm
what are the chances of another round of talk sense of those talks getting anywhere? well, the russians say are that they believe they're going to take place. they say the 2nd round of negotiations hasn't been cancelled. they all take place to night, wednesday evening. as far as the russians are concerned. of course, we do know that the ukrainian present vollmer zalinski has said that russia must stop bombing ukrainian cities before it can go into any talks. and we also know that russia essentially wants ukraine to surrender it once landscape, governments to be replaced. but it may putin, as but aimed his criticism, particularly at the government of vladimir zalinski, not necessarily zalinski himself. he says that is a lensky putin's as it zalinski has lost control or doesn't have control of,
1:27 pm
of the government around him. so most of the may be a slight change in tone from vladimir boot or slight change in emphasis, but the emphasis has changed from the lensky to the government. he represents and the government around him. but ever nevertheless, both sides very, very far apart. so even if the 2nd round of talks does get going, it's not clear how they're going to come to any agreement in the current circumstances. i bad, nathan, i f as in moscow. thank you. well, let's bring in now are christina passion. she is assistant professor of journalism at northwestern university, and she joins us now via zoom from here and all her. thank you for joining us on the news. our. i just want to start out by asking you about your family. i believe you'll ukrainian american. so sir, how's your family doing in ukraine? it's been a very difficult situation for them. many my family have decided to stay there on the summer and what can you and
1:28 pm
a lot of them that they don't want to leave their home. they're not prepared to let go of the crane and they're willing to stay, but that's almost my family or excuse me, choosing to do a few have tried to leave for poland. unfortunately, one of the relative there, young daughter, colbert, before. so she's unable to trial moment, so it's been a she artic situation for me and my relatives. you're a professor of journalism once you are analysis of how the information war is being fought. as this war happens on the ground. or think you're very drastically different narrative in both the printing media and brush media. as many of us know already, russia media has banned from using certain words. describe the war there. now say the word war or attack or invasions, they are telling the criminal line that this is just a spectrum military operation where ukrainian yeah, it's a very different kind of channel. they're very much embracing independent media. they're very much worn journals on the ground. the lives have been making nearly daily occurrences in video with news to his people trying to rally them together.
1:29 pm
and as a result, what i'm seeing on twitter is that yes, there's despair. there's also anger at today, but there's also the huge competence of they're going to win the for that ukraine will prevail. so very, to do different narrative. right now there's been protests in russia in support of ukraine and ukrainians. how is the media that russians are exposed to shaping their perception of what's happening in ukraine? well, unfortunately, there's usually pretty much a media black out in russia. only the ones are allowed to operate one for the piano lines yesterday to independent. the rest of your are finally ban, echo moscow and the tv rain. so any other ones that are trying to show the truth on the ground in ukraine are being banned by the kremlin. so it's really hard to see what to expect to figure out what exactly russians are sharing, who we do know, there are a lot of russian thousands, we're coming to protest. there are different ways to get the media bypass the
1:30 pm
channel, such as telegram youtube, bloggers, etc. so i think we're beginning to seeing more russian understanding what really happened ukraine and neither going to start speaking out more. you produced documentary on the crimean tart, is the indigenous people of crimea. how are they being impacted by the conflict ongoing since since 2014 and how? how would i being impacted now? sure. well, in 2014, the disaster for the cranium chapter is more than 20000 floods, mainland ukraine, because they feared being back under russian rule, particularly after the soviet union went down to nearly entire population. and it was a mass 46 percent of their population died, deportation and an exile. they were happy to be back with you to be part of the ukraine after the class of the soviet union. but 2014 of course changed, but 2014 russia has very much of pressing the crime in suffer from the peninsula trying to duck. even murder didn't bring in chapters you speak out against the
1:31 pm
occupation. now with this war, this is another disaster present because this is an invading ukraine and installing a puppet regime or else or the crime in tucker is going to go. they've been really working with increasing government to help get premium back ukraine. they're based in k, there isn't even occupying the entire country and can just be very few options for them. and as a result of this information campaigns against the crime in our post going around basically slandering the top leadership of the crime in touch or not. right? and of course it's awful. so the rest of the fees, i think the craving hunters are going to get another very, very procuring situation. i thank you very much for your time. christina passion, their assistant professor of journalism at northwestern university. still add on al jazeera, thousands of chinese nationals are also trying to leave in crane, but media coverage back home may be complicating things and islands of plastic
