ah ah ah, this is al jazeera ah hi there, kim vanelle. this is the new the are live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the russian military claims it has taken control of the strategically important city of coast on, in southern new crime. as drugs continue to found hockey fitting residential areas, as russian forces pushed to capture the city. but despite the escalation of violence, the kremlin says it is ready for

a 2nd round of talks with you pray. and the mountain cost of war, almost 850000 people have fled to fighting the so far and, and sport russian drivers have been banned from competing in the united kingdom. which means the heat of massive pan will not be allowed to race at the british grand prix, putting his job with team has in jeopardy ah, russia is military is claiming to have taken full control of a major ukrainian port city on the black sea curse on is near crimea, which of course russia annexed in 2014 pictures from carry on. show russian forces and tanks unchallenged. in this city center, russian forces are reported to have installed checkpoints surrounding the city. where is this durable? that is, in any order on the units off to russian are forces to control of the regional

center of kershawn, probably the civilian weitel infrastructure and city transport work. as usual, the city doesn't suffer from local foot 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 and the invasion is in its 7th day . let's take a look at where things stand. the area is shaded red, a controlled by russia and allied separatists, as we mentioned, cares on, is now under russian control. ukrainian soldiers say they've been surrounded also in the port city of murray, hall, and northwest of cues. ukrainian soldiers are on the bombardment, including in the city of the to me, i don't whole joins me now. live from the vive, near the border with poland. jonah, let's start with cares. home. if russia has indeed taken that city, how significant is this?

well, i should probably start by saying that the ukranian, no, it is haven't confirmed that the city is fully under russian control. they had earlier in the morning said that russian troops had taken the railway station and the port elements of the city. but, but a saying that pictures very clearly show that russian soldiers are in the city patrolling quite casually on foot and also large amounts of heavy artillery and armor parading up and down what looks to be a sort of main thoroughfare through the center of, of town so it does look as though cache on as fall and under russian control. the significance of that, well, you know, it is 7 days into this invasion. the 1st significant center to be taken by the russians in what has been in terms of intelligence thinking a much slower advance into ukraine than letting me have booted will have hoped

strategically. it's important. it's on the denita river, it's just to the west of crimea, that, of course, russia annexed in 2014. and it can be seen in the context of one of the kind of key strategic goals of the invasion of ukraine, which would be to build and secure a land bridge linking crimea to those breakaway regions in the east. and so this would be a pretty good, unimportant beginning to that, a further to the east, towards those eastern territories, the much larger, much more significant city of mario pole, half a 1000000 people that it is encircled. it has been for days coming under heavy and sustained attack. take mary, you poll and you've basically assured the land, the land, colorado that i think will be the next goal in the south. all right, thank you for that, jonah, how we appreciate that we're going live now. i believe a to

a 1st over thing held after an i e. a r meeting, a board of governors meeting, which has been held in the analysts as an in 3 issue with iran. what will you take for me to that? yeah, yeah, iran to cooperate with me. okay. if they do, we'll, we'll be able to how did you holler automatically from reuters m a yes. as you know, sort of the of the focus in the broader nuclear context right now is more on the talks across town on, on, on iran and, and so it seems one of the main sticking points in those discussions is the issue of the outstanding safeguards or questions you have with them. and so for weeks now we've been hearing basically exactly the same thing that iran would like some kind of 2015 style final assessment worked into the j. c. if you a discussions and you've said no, and you're opposed to that at least,

and that you have the support of major powers on that. so where do things stand now on that? and is there any kind of creative solution that that can be found on that if things simply haven't budged in such a long time? well, as i would say, it's work in progress right now as we speak. there is no secret that these negotiations which are not, might have associations we are participating and being consulted by that these negotiations are coming to a decisive point. and of course, this issue has been brought to the for our position on this has always been the same. these are distinct processes, although varies, are obviously a mutual influence. but for us to be able to solve this issues, what we need is, is an integral. and, and very substantive process, and i am optimistic that we will be able to do that without any quality,

se sation of the shoe or making it contingent, or depending of the closing hopefully of the j. c, b, or a negotiation. so we have to continue our own work. so you're optimistic, so what can be achieved exactly as a process, a full process. to clarify this, witcher would not be an influence or affected by of the current single sheesh us or any agreement that other g shapiro, gardeners, me, be reaching or or not. it's not michael. of course. or. hi, this is jody from f f i d g. i have a coming back to ukraine. yes, you said in your statement that you said you received the letter from the ucr? yes. or it is requesting an immediate assistance. yes. what does this mean is if somebody has to go there or is it remote? well, what kind of his dea, indeed, urban,

but the situation in ukraine is as i described in my statement, is of course complex and, and, and difficult to, to grasp. because on the one hand, as i indicated, or that he's an normal operation of the nuclear power plants and all shall other site including a journal. this does not mean that everything is well and that is, are full of comfort in the, in the discharge of this very sensitive activities of force that he says that he's an ongoing conflict there with all the dangers and the constraint coming with it at the head of the nuclear regulatory and m agency of uh you grain. i've been in contact with him. i must say a bad from letters and as sent a letter requesting formal assistance. of course you crane is

a member state of the i. e, and they are in title and expect to get assistance when that is a problem in this case, related to the safety of their, their facilities. and obviously in the present circumstances are delivering assistance is not a straight forward or easy process. this is why i am in contact with all sites to a certain and in which effective way we could be are providing this assistance. since these consultations are, are ongoing, i would not be in a position to till you're bright. now we're kind or when this assistance is going to be the liver, but i can confirm to you that active consultation are ongoing between myself and all the relevant partners in this, in this process. okay. ok,

that is her, the don't general of the i a e, a r u n z nuclear watchdog, the international atomic energy agency speaking after discussing ukraine, he said that her, the i a's, received a letter from ukraine, cert, nuclear agency requesting assistance. and that because you crane is a member of the i r e a that it can expect assistance. although delivering that assistance is not straightforward. he said that there is for now normal operation of nuclear science, but that does not mean everything is normal because of course, a with a warren ukraine or russia is reportedly taken over the decommissioned, actionable nuclear power plant. the place of course we're a no i think 86 and explosion triggered the worst nuclear disaster in history. obviously it is still highly contaminated site and its security. hugely important i there are reports also. busy that russian troops have taken over or taking control

surrounded at least the largest nuclear power plant in the country. but as we heard there from the i, i from the international atomic energy agency. for now there is a normal operation of nuclear sites in ukraine. russia government says it's ready to continue negotiations with ukraine. later on, wednesday, the 1st round of talks on the battle roost border. william crane failed to make a breakthrough. it's going to cost jibari who is live for us in moscow. i daughter just south. what's the latest that we're hearing now from the criminal where the kremlin spokesperson demitra pest coff has said that as the russian delegation will be traveling to buy the roofs and they'll be waiting for the ukrainian side to join them. and they're optimistic and they're hopeful that this meeting will take place later this evening. and we've just heard from an adviser to the head of ukraine's presidential office,

who has said that the meeting will now take place this evening. and he was coated in local ukrainian media saying that negotiations will be tonight. this will be the 2nd round and that he thinks it will be the same as before and nothing will change and that they will stand their ground, the ukrainian delegation. of course, there is a hope that these talks will continue and probably get somewhere at some point. but the ukranian president had said that they were hoping that would be some kind of a lol in the fighting. while these talks were taken place of the 1st round that were held on monday, didn't really achieve much and nobody had any high expectations. but the parties involved both agreed that it was better to have dialogue than not. i think everybody's are of the mind that as long as the 2 sides are sitting down and talking to each other, there is a chance. they can have some kind of an agreement at some point whether or not that will be a this wednesday evening. it's very unlikely that the russians have said that they

want to make sure that the line of communication remains open with the ukrainian government and ukrainian government is insisting that there needs to be a cease fire of some kind before they can have a serious conversation about their concerns and what is happening on the ground. i dos jibari will be checking back in with you, no doubt for now. thank you. human rights group say russia has been using sophisticated weaponry, putting civilians at greater risk of documented the use of indiscriminate cluster. bombs might have been banned by more than 100 countries. they're small bomblets if you will, can explode at any time, including when the conflict is over. firma, barrack weapons, or vacuum bombs are also reported to have been used based sucking oxygen to create a greater explosion than conventional ones. loans from tanks, they explode in 2 stages and release an aerosol that sinks into enclosed structures that makes them particular dangerous for civilians, especially in urban settings,

they use in an attack can constitute a war crime if the attack fails to minimize the risk to civilians. spring in france, stefan gaudy. he is a research fellow for cyberspace and future conflicts at the international institute for strategic studies think joins us via skype from berlin. thank you for joining us on the news. our i want to start what you're talking about. those weapons that we just talked about, cluster bombs and vacuum bombs. is russia using this kind of weaponry? what does international law say? or some evidence strongly suggests that russians are indeed using these types of weapons. and i think what's most important to understand for the listener about the sorts of weapons is that you always have to keep in mind proportionality. that is, you need to be able on the one hand, in military conflict, inflict proportional response to you on your grocery, and at the same time,

those insured that you protect, of course, innocent lives and innocent bystanders during, during calm but, but i think overall, of course, to should not be surprised because the russian armed forces lack a lot of precision guided munitions stock. so they have less precision guided munitions then, for example, western military's or need to dare for they need to rely on more in disc him in discriminatory bomb beings. rada and i think this is going to increase as to conflict progresses, the very dangerous situation to civilians. i wasn't aware that they lack that kind of precision guided weaponry. can i ask you, why do you think care song may be a priority right now? the city apparently has been taken controlled by russian troops. what is it about that location that makes it important for russia? well, i should just add to my previous comment. the do have

a certain stock of precision guided munitions, but it's very limited. so they will rely on more in discriminatory ways of, of bombardment at one point my to, to answer your question now why this is so important on the southern front dis, city. it's beyond that in that pro river. and i think one of the key objectives of the russian armed forces at this stage is to cross that in the river and circle and capture as many ukrainian units as possible before they can retreat into urban environment status into cities. because russians by and large, still want to avoid urban combat. think that's very important to understand that initially in the 1st few days of this war, the russians really don't have a lot of interest in occupying cities. they will see cities see if there's not strong resistance, but at this stage is really 1st and foremost about destroying the ukrainian armed forces out in the open field. so what we're seeing right now is actually some sort

of pinch movement that starting from the south. there's another column coming down from the north and from the east, and i think what you're trying to see is really what you, what you will see is just as this in circle meant of ukrainian forces. if everything goes according to the plan. but of course, as we know, few things have gone according to plan for the russians that the stage are. i will leave it that time. thank you for your time friend stefan got a their research fellow for cyberspace and future conflicts. thank you. britain's parliament has allowed a rare moment of applause in the house of commons to show solidarity with ukraine. politicians gave a standing ovation to the ukrainian ambassadors of britain. lucy watched the proceedings from the gallery. by minister boss johnson accused rushes vladimir putin of war crimes. in the claim of what we've seen already from vladimir putin, reggie in the use of the munitions that they have already been

a baby dropping on as an innocent civilians. i missed the speaker in my view, already pre qualified as a war, carmen. i know that the that the i c c prosecutor is already investigating on shore the whole house. i will support that. ok. plenty more had on the news i, including in his state of the union address you as president vowels. russia will pay dearly for the invasion of the crate and in support. this ukrainian tennis by a says she's on a mission to her country. we'll have that story coming up with later in the program . ah, the crisis unfolding in ukraine featured heavily in the u. s. president. state of the union address al jazeera white house correspondent, kimberly alcott reports. you as president joe biden began his 1st state of the union address. they strongly denouncing the russian president and his invasion of

ukraine. russia's vladimir putin sought to shake the very foundations of the free world, making a good, make it ben, to his madison ways. but he badly miscalculated, and now the us will make to pay biden, has directed the department of justice to assemble a task force, targeting the crimes of russian oligarchy. and that we will join our allies and closing off american aerospace to all russian flights. further, i studied russia a majority of americans do not believe the u. s. should play a major role in working with allies to support ukraine. but biden argued if not confronted russia aggression would spread throughout our history. we've learned this lesson, when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. they keep moving, and the cost, the threats that america,

and america the world keeps rising. given the focus on the ukranian crisis, invited speech in the audience was the ukranian, a bastard to the u. s. oksana barava, a guest of the 1st lady, doctor jill bided. the russian invasion has increased already record high energy prices and inflation in the u. s. ad is threatening biden's promise to economic recovery. one way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make americans poor . i think i have a better idea to fight your flesh, lower your cost, not your wages. but republicans, in their response, argued biden, has sent the country back to the early 1980 s. when runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave was crashing our cities and the soviet army was trying to redraw the world map. on wednesday,

president vibe and travels to the us state of wisconsin to sell his domestic agenda . but foreign policy challenges in ukraine are almost certain to overshadow that effort to really help him al jazeera capitol hill. well, alan fisher joins us now from the white house. allen, so how has that address by prison been been received? well, joe biden has done what he's failed to do almost exclusively since he came into office. and that was you night, both republicans and democrats in their support for ukraine through the chamber on tuesday night. you saw people wearing yellow and blue in support of ukraine as they were very supportive of the moves he's taken, including closing down american air space to rush and flights that will kick in in a few hours time. and also going after the assets of those closest to vladimir putin. but the problem is it didn't set any red lines,

fur vladimir putin. he didn't offer any consequences. he didn't say, look, you can't do this, or he did say that the united states would protect natal lance that's almost a given. but there is concern among some people who are ukranian supporters, that he wasn't more forceful that he didn't say you can't do this or we will intervene, perhaps is learn the lesson from at the last time he was in the white house. when he was vice president to barack obama and brock obama set a red line for syria, serial cross that led red line when it came to the use of chemical weapons and he did nothing. and so there was a great concern that red lines mean nothing in that as why joe biden is very reluctant to talk in those sort of terms at will this get support? will there be money coming from the u. s. for the ukraine? absolutely. and does this say that joe biden is going to do anything to help the people in ukraine at the moment other than provide money in weapons?

there was nothing of that in the speech. allen, what about the domestic audience? how do you think they will move their speech and in as tough talk on ukraine? i dunno. americans don't really pay that much attention to what's going on beyond their borders as a whole, but they have paid attention to what's going on in ukraine. certainly the overall view of this speech, and remember 2 thirds of it was really concentrating on the domestic agenda, including the rise of inflation and the costs. then the people seemed to back what he was seeing in ukraine. because of course, it's easy to do that, but joe biden is aware that if this becomes a protracted dispute, a protracted war, then americans will start to pay the price financially. and while there are ukrainians in the united states who say an extra 20 or $0.30 on a gallon of gas means nothing really in terms of lives. if there is that sort of

financial impact than support for what the u. s. is doing me start to add because americans do tend to vote or with their purses with their wallets, with their pocket books. and if they are being hit there, then support seems to ebb away. so at the moment there is support for what joe biden is doing. support for the stance that he's taken, although there's always the aud voice of descent. but depending on how low along this war goes on, that may start to dissipate. but what is clear and was made clear again by those around joe biden. after that, the state of the union american troops will not be involved in fighting in ukraine, and that is something that absolutely is a red line. my alan fish, therefore, i saw in washington and wow, thank you. the un refugee agency says nearly $850000.00 people have now

fled the conflict in ukraine, around hall, foreign, neighboring poland to many of being supported by families and volunteers. the european union is considering legislation to ground rights of residency to displace ukrainians for up to 3 years. step boss and reports now from the mirrors 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 note that, that jack is a retired threat and lung, which the cher and is collecting goods donated by people from all over europe. who is michelle. we are helping people on the other side of the board. they're the ones who stayed behind who can't leave yesterday. witness an incident when a disabled boy was not allowed to the ukraine because he was over 18. he and his family were forced to turn back. i could not bear to watch it,

but we have to help many of the goods, a man for the ukrainian me to they passed queer minute scene. 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. talk is another one on our driver, took a family of 9 people to the house. we are old crying with them when we saw the tragedy. the 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 the thought i am going to cry,

they can just cross the border. most refugees came from the region near the ukrainian capital key. if that came on the heavier tech in the past days. like i said, okay. so that is what you have 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 went back to fight and i am extremely worried about him. the 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, check every car thoroughly. people easily 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 mixed emotions than grateful that they finally get to safety. but very, very worried about what they're leaving behind. the new to is we leave to find

a less chaotic situation, and in the past few days, you for this i always should be 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 q 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 as cost to step, now reside for us inside a train station in the city of smithville in east. in poland, our step what's happening there with well, this is one of the key locations where many refugees are arriving from your grade, many ukrainians, but also people from all corners of the world are arriving here. many international we were living in your grade there,

right from here at the station. lots of high emotion just while people really confused where to go for we were read about what they have been leaving behind, but also kind of relieved that then now finally save some have trouble for a very long time. and to polish people are very generously accepting them here and also helping them as much as they can. you can see a lot of volunteers are busy here working. i can show you here how they have to pay a food. there's a lot of people also holding signs, offering rights offering their homes. so a poland has really seen an out for all for a generosity, helping their neighbors. they also say didn't the border with your brain is also our border and the ukrainians are now fighting to defend our border as well. so it's really close to home here in poland and people are really confused. still, you know, that is chaos. people don't know where to go. so and this is just the beginning. you and hcr, but also the polish authorities,

expect millions of refugees arrived here and then next, coming days and weeks, and the us making itself ready to accept and post all these refugees to haven't seen for a very, very long time arriving in europe. all right, thank you for that step boston that live from the ukraine. poland border by this time now for the weather, has everything with use of move flooding in australia. hello. once again, we got 2 areas of low pressure given cause a concern across australia flooding rain coming in our own tropical cyclone. and again, that is making its way towards pearl bra pushing in land into we're northern parts of western australia, but i think a greater concern really is this area of low pressure just off the coast of new south wells. we've seen some very heavy rainfall here recently. of course, i'm afraid there will be further heavy downpours coming in. so sidney is in the firing line, some heavy down pools here. that is going to cause widespread flooding. that is

going to cause some very nasty conditions and further north. yeah. i'm afraid poor oh brisbin, sunshine coast go co seeing some more of that heavy rain as we go on through thursday, exacerbating the flooding, which is already in place. of course. is that where to where the pushing across. so western australia thinking a little further south was as we go on into friday starting to weaken off a little bit, but still some flooding coming in here nevertheless. and yeah, the showers, they will continue just around that easter side of australia. we'll see some wet weather, also sliding across south australia into victoria as we go one through saturday on the other side of the ditch was not to be rainy everywhere. this is where looking good high pressure and chart. so fine, dry and sunny says come here on al jazeera countries are on the wall, the trying to get their citizens out of ukraine and back home to safety. and the un as upgrade to move forward on a landmark deal to limit the use of plastics worldwide. been in sports,

plastic sandals that cover it. we're interested in understanding how we can create a secular economy for plastic waves here in, in a local environment like this. so to do that, we have to understand how much plastic is here. we have to understand how much people know about this issue if it will be crew members campaign against the use of single use plastics and trying to find ways for people to reuse. plastic waste. the flip, floppy is the 1st sailing both of its kind in the world. and this survey is the 1st of its kind. whoever take place in this part of the indian ocean. the crews say they don't know exactly how much plastic pollution is in the, on the beaches or in the mangrove. but they say that sure that there's a lot and they're right, whenever y'all and they've stopped the plastic bottle litter, the mangroves forms that line the shores by roping off squares and collecting and
