it was his choice to force hundreds of thousands of people to stop their lives into backpacks and flee the country to send newborn babies in to make shift bomb shelters, to make children and with cancer, huddle and hospital base basements, interrupting their treatment, essentially sentencing them to death. those were president putin's choices. now it's time for us to make ours. the united states is choosing to stand with the ukranian people. we're choosing in coordination with our allies and partners to impose severe consequences on russia. we're choosing to whole russia accountable for its actions, and we will soon turn to vote on a resolution that does just that. we believe this is

a simple vote. vote yes if you believe you and member states including your own, have a right to sovereignty and territorial integrity. vote yes, if you believe russia should be held to account for his actions. vote yes. if you believe in upholding the un charter and every thing this institution stands for, thank you very much. or then the distinguished representative of the united states . and now i give the floor to the distinguished representative of the observe of the observer state of the holy. see we're going to leave that at that point. you heard that the u. s. ambassador to the united nations speaking at that un emergency

session. she said, among other things she, she did was thank her russian protest is who objecting to the war? there will now be a vote on this resolution which has something like 90 co sponsors downstairs. kristen salumi is at the u. n. a in new york, and i could explain more to as kristen about with the resolution of the process now . right, so what is before the general assembly is a resolution similar to wine that was voted on in the security council on friday, but be towed by russia. it deplores russia's use of force in the ukraine, demanding that its use of force cease. it also calls out bela rues for its involvement in the attacks. but here in the general assembly, russia does not have veto power, like it does in the security council. so what is expected to happen in the coming hours is

a vote will be taken. it takes 2 thirds of votes cast in order for that resolution to pass. now that's not 2 thirds of member states. there are a 193 member states, but all of them may not vote. it will take 2 thirds of those who vote and in order for it to pass. and right now we are seeing 100 co sponsors of this resolution that those co sponsors, of course, we assume are yes votes moving forward. the question is, how many people will abstain? how many countries will abstain moving forward in order in it's 2 thirds of those who do vote that will allow this resolution to pass. and certainly we've heard very strong statements coming from countries like the united states who point out that a founding principle of the un charter is not to violate the territorial sovereignty of another nation. and they are hoping to to rally countries behind that point

behind this resolution on the zeros kristen. so with the light of the u. m. many, thanks, dude. kristen or u. s. president joe biden spoke a short time ago when asked about finding washing oil and gas. he said the ball things off the table. i love is off the table a line. when we are, while i'm very close, early to say that let's go live to the white house. i was there was alan tricia is there for us and tell us more about what the president at the salem. well, not a great deal more on ukraine. it's important that he says, look, they're keeping the idea of sanctioning oil and gas on the table. he's not going to make a move unless his european allies, other western nations do it as well. it has been the policy of the white house is the very beginning that whatever they do, they do in coordination and they do it. so that is sustainable because they don't

want someone imposing sanctions. and then a couple of weeks later saying this is much too tough for us and backing down the thing that would give vladimir putin a room to claim that the alliance against them isn't united. so his intention is to make sure that everyone moves, and when they jump, they all jump at the same time. he is off to sell his domestic agenda. but of course, at, during the state of the union, he talked about ukraine, mentioned the fact that they had put up a brave resistance that the russians weren't expecting that sentiment was reiterated in a call that has just happened, scares me between antony blinkin, the secretary of state and his ukranian counterpart, seeing that they will continue to talk about providing security financial and also humanitarian support in the midst of what was described by the state department as a brutal bombardment which is targeting schools hospitals. and of course, a whole course memorial site. in a few hours time, the, the announcement,

the job i've made during the state of the union, the russian planes are going to be banned from u. s. air space will come into force. the federal aviation authority has already spoken about that and said look, if there are any jets coming in to the air space after that time. and there will be well warned in advance. the run, the risk of being intercepted by us fighter jets that something of course, that could escalate the situation. something that the u. s. is very keen to avoid. we saw that with joe by when he was leaving. he was asked about the possibility of putting permanent u. s. bases in countries like poland and romanian little countries. and he said that is really a for nieto to decide. so the joe biden believes that the best way that can the can serve ukraine at the moment. is to talk about great support, making sure they get that humanitarian security and military support. but also to make sure that when there is any tape moves taken against russia,

they are taken in unison with all the other allies. i'll deserves alan fisher flyer . the white house, and when many thanks indeed, ukraine's state of urgency service says that more than 2000 civilians have been killed since washes invasion began a week ago. moscow's intensified it's bombardment of urban areas. russian paratroopers have landed around ukraine's 2nd largest city comp heave, which has endured some of the worst chilling in the south. the mayor of maria poll says that russian forces are actively preventing the evacuation of civilians from the besieged city, or rushes military is claiming to have taken control of a major ukrainian port city on the black sea curse on is near crimea, which russia annexed in 2014 pictures from their show, russian forces and tanks unchallenged in the city center that reported to install checkpoints surrounding the city or system. but there isn't any able to run units off to. russian are forces to control of the regional center, of course, on bravo,

for the civilian weitel infrastructure and civic transport group. as usual, letters in 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, what are the functioning of social infrastructure or with the invasion now into that 7th day, this is where it stands. the areas shaded in red here are controlled by russia and allied separatists. as we mentioned, cason is now under russian control. and ukrainian soldiers say they've been surrounded in the port city of maria paul, northwest of keefe, ukrainian soldiers are on the bump, bump and including in the city of zima. let's go live now to live there. the border with poland down to cirrus. jonah whole is there. so, jonah, it's clear that moscow's intensified it's bombardments of ukraine's major cities concave castle. maria pal

yesterday's very significant. potentially this news that russia has gained control of casts on it. we should point out that the local authorities are not conceding that they've lost control of the city. the local administration claim still to be functioning as you heard there. but it's very clear that russian soldiers, artillery and armor are inside the city, as you said on challenge. so to all intents and purposes, a cache on has fallen. it's strategically important. it's on the denise river, just the sort of mass of the crime in peninsula. each ease the beginning, if you like, of a land bridge, a land corridor connecting crime near to the breakaway regions of the east. one of the sort of presumed war goals of the russians to create that land bridge. further along to the east is along that that route is matter. you poll, you mentioned it half a 1000000 people that have

a substantial port city that it is encircled. it is under constant attack, according to local authorities. there i can tell you what the mare has been saying in mary paul, he's been talking about the city suffering mass casualties for the last 12 to 18 hours a water outage there. he says, city has been under quite nonstop onslaught. the russians blocking exits was passivity and start trying to flee the city. we cannot even, he says, remove the dead and injured from the street and moving on to get another bigger city. one and a half 1000000 people keep in the eastern ethnic russian city. a majority ethnic russian city on the border with russia being bombarded by russia for the last 23 days. now indiscriminate rocket fire into residential areas. heavy missile attacks overnight and in the last 24 hours taking up significant targets in the center of the city. paratroopers landed in the to the city overnight. the city is almost

encircled civilians being warned not to try to get out but to shelter in place. a very dangerous situation there. and by all accounts, some indication diplomats hearing warnings from the russians for people to expect a very difficult night ahead. what are you hearing from the capital city, jonah? well, i know a nervous wait, dreadful anticipation in the capital cave, much further to the north in the country as that immense convoy of russian armour soldiers support elements. logistics makes its way slowly from the northwest. thought to be between 20 and 30 miles from the key of now aiming to complete a sort of encirclement of the capital with bombardment happening during the

evening's relative quiet during the day. mass sort of hysteria at the train station as people try to leave. we're looking at something like 8 or 900000 ukrainians who have left the country so far. what key of illustrates what all these other cities illustrate is another shift potentially in tactics from the russians. like shifted prim military targets to civilian targets in the last few days, they now appear to be shifting to a sort of siege tactic of encircling these major cities. trying to terrorize the civilian population inside, perhaps issuing ultimatums to local authorities to either surrender or fight a before eventually bombarding the cities into submission. it's the sort of thing the russians have form on. they've done it in chechnya. they've done it and syria. it looks like this might be a clue for the direction the future direction is conflict. my take, i'll do is there was a whole reporting live from the vis in ukraine when he thinks, jonah let's you know for me, i was just in his child stratford,

who has more on the fighting and married paul at other cities with his updates from southeastern ukraine, the very worrying news from this region certainly further south from here is coming out of the strategically important port. city of mary helpful. very wiring reports there, according to the local man saying that there are heavy casualties in the city. he is alleging that russian forces are blocking the exit from the city of, of civilians. we know that there have been, there was a large tank. call them a lot of russian weapons that moved into positions to the west of the city over the last couple of days. it seems as if that move may now be happening. we also know that there's been a lot of sharing on the east of the city as well since this conflict of since this war started. and it seems as if the russians all desperately trying to create this land card or if they take mary awful, it would effectively give them

a land cordele from the area or in the east control by the separatists all the way to north and crimea. mary, opal, we expect a heavy fighting in there anyway. it's a city that has a lot of power militaries in it's and a lot of military, a city that was very successful in 2014 in pushing separately spices out. of course, this is a very different scenario wherein now with so much russian heavy weaponry being used. i could also report, we got a news from the a town of vold vodka, which is north of mary awful. we understand heavy fighting. there again has been conflicting reports as to who is in control of that town. families who have been stuck in the east of ukraine of found temporary homes and bomb shelters has been quiet. but some of taking matters into their own hands as the russian army continues its advance. i'm just curious how the adult hamid for this report from

the city of that april in a quiet corner outside the barracks. the joy family of united, even though is just for a few minutes. a chill timothy carrying prosthetic spare parts where his father likes to be called sailor. low by the mark brushing one sailor lost his left leg 2 years ago when he was in the ukrainian marines. he rejoined the army a few days ago. timothy is not fully aware of the scale of the russian onslaught because his mother doesn't let him watch the news. oh no, i didn't feel comfortable at her, especially sleeping in the corridor, but i'm getting used to it. school stock, so now i spend my days in the quarter door, nothing watching videos on the phone and read and books sometimes. but today we will go to help the volunteers, civilians from all walks of life are pitching in supporting soldiers like timothy, east father, and providing assistance to ukrainians,

fleeing cognitive or southern ukraine. the volunteers are frantic, as they grasped the enormity of the russian assault on their country. among them, natania, she usually manages a shoe company but is now putting together kits containing basic necessities or the pro. so she has met the idea that people need everything, closed hygiene goods, shaving kids, toothpaste and tooth brushes. they're coming here without anything. their homes are destroyed, so all they have is the clothes they're wearing. dinny pro has so far remain safe, but this city is bracing itself public shelters are being prepared all over the city. this is the underground of a movie theater that was built in the 1950s when ukraine was part of the soviet union and already then, it was designated as a bomb shelter. during that cold war era, the stated threat was from western powers. it's stuffy with po ventilation, but it will have to do this. it is under night curfew. silly tells me is to prevent

the possibility of russian agents carrying out acts of subversion. and despite his handicap, he says he will fight to the bitter end. he believes russia's ambitions all far greater than ukraine. will nobody with withdraw? yeah. if you look at history starting from trans mystery in moldova, georgia and then dumbasses. he is protecting his boulders, with the help of the so called self proclaimed republics. i have to protect my home and my family because people like me have little chance to survive in the case of a russian invasion here. many did he pro, wondering what president vladimir putin plans offered a city with the russian army advancing from the south and north mainly believed the quiet they have now could soon be broken. and of that hamid al jazeera, then the pro, in eastern ukraine. russian officials are heading towards the by the roost border to resume negotiations with ukraine. the 1st round of talks on the bailey was

porter with ukraine failed to make any breakthrough or correspond dosage. barry reports from moscow the kremlin spokesperson to meet your pest office, said that, as the russian delegation will be traveling to belarus and they'll be waiting for the ukrainian side to join them. and they're optimistic on their hopeful that this meeting will take place later this evening. and we've just heard from an advisor to the head of ukraine's presidential office a who has said the that the meeting will now take place this evening. and he was coated in locals, 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 there round 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 there would be some kind of a lol in the fighting. while these talks were taken place at 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 they'll be out this wednesday evening. it's very unlikely, but the russians have said that they want to make sure that the line of communication remains open with the ukranian government. and ukrainian government is insisting that there needs to be a ceasefire of some kind before they can have a serious conversation about their concerns and what is happening on the ground for take you back to the united nations. so that emergency session of the general assembly, this is ukraine's ambassador. speaking ahead of the food on the resolution, seeks to reprimand to russia of richard version of ukraine listenin. let me

read the following purchase. our position is that what have our grievances and nation may have however objectionable it finds the state of squall aggressive warfare. isn't the legal means for settling those grievances or for altering those conditions? it may be that the nation faced desperate problems, problems that would have warranted the boldest measures showed a war. all other methods, persuasion, propaganda, economic competition. diplomacy where open, though an aggrieved country by the grassy warfare was

outlawed, the defendants did make aggressive war a war. in violation of treaties, they did attack and invade their neighbors. in order to effectuate a foreign policy, which they knew would not be accomplished by measures short a wall. and that is as far as we accuse or propose, though, enquire and of quote, sad in his opening statement to the international military tribunal. on november 21. 1945 in the palace of justice

at nuremberg. just this robert jackson, chief of consul. and these words address to day for mister putin. mister shy, go mister lovegrove. mister. valid in miss mattie the ankle and perhaps dozen small. but certainly they are not address suzy, russian citizens. those russian citizens who try to present, preserve their dignity for almost a week. he crane his fighting fire thing on that, the bombs and missiles fighting in the face of our mothers of hardware and, and countless crowds of enemies. they have come to lead ukrainian soil,

not only to kill sam of us, not only to received our cause and priorities. they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. they have come to resolve the ukrainian issue. as they are propagandist claimed. just stop and think whether these wars remind you of something. yes, more than 80 years ago, another dictator tried to find the, the resolve, the issue of another people he failed when the world responded in the resolute hand united manner. it, it was happens immediately. and the delay cost, it doesn't so millions of people are we ready to pay such a price now?

or is it time to demonstrate the unity of purpose and deeds already? now, we are proceed all manifestations of such unity and solidarity with ukraine. i would like to express gratitude to all member states that the board ukrainians in their battle for freedom. i would also like to thank those members days that accepted ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children. more than half a 1000000 have already a flat from russian, me styles. and charles. i will not beside all facts of new war crimes and crimes against humanity that the russians who have committed since my previous statement 2 days ago. the lease is so long that his bill ran out of time. the crime says so barbaric that it is difficult to comprehend

facing the total resistance. so the ukrainian population putting regime has proceeded to widespread use of indiscriminate weapons such as multiple rocket launchers and aerial bombs. against the residential areas ukrainian being killed by russian ballistic me styles and thermo barrick weapons. just yesterday, a key of heart gives you told me mario bo, mike melli topple and many other cities in town, sustained heavy settings that killed dozens of innocence including children. ukraine, the paragraph that a student from india has become a victim of the selling by the russian forces in clark, if we offer our deepest sympathies to india and the relatives of the big thing that you need citizen was also injured

in another ukraine city. because irrational russians deadly attacks, the ukrainian and foreign citizens have become hostages of the russian on the aggression against the brain. in ki, if russia murderers have the the tv tower. healing 5 potter buys, one of the me files dropped on the bobbin. yar holocaust memorial is sacred place of common ration of jews, ukrainians, trauma and representatives of other ethnic groups killed by not this during the world war 2. what an irony when the weak, famous of nazi is, are being killed for the 2nd time by not see mold and follow us. as president ukraine asked, what was the point of repeating the slogan?

never again in a t. yes. it's already clear that the goal of russia is not an occupation only. it is genocide. on 7th and 8th of march to $1020.00 to the international court of justice will hold public hearings in the case concerning allegations of genocide under the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. ukraine versus russian federation. also, the prosecutor of the international criminal court has decided to proceed with opening of a formal investigation into the situation. ukraine are provoked, escalation of russian aggression against ukraine is reason to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the i see continued to be committed on the territory of ukraine along with

a situation in crimea and on. but the recent events suggest that aggressors troops continue to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity. vehicle x one might consider observing the bloodshed and ukraine that it is not my will. it is a mistake. the evil will never stop. it requires more and more space to conquer. if tolerated it advances further and further. the job resolution is one of the building blocks to build a wall to stop it, to stop and ukraine and not to let it go further. they will, that will protect all of you in particular, younger generations distinguish delegate by voting
