as we climb up, the teams mentally prepare for their jam. i try to do the same then minutes later once the earth is just a blur below, it's time to free fall ah to. ready ah, invading russian forces renewed that bombardments of ukrainian cities on besieged seaports, costing all thousands of people in modern poll. ah, hello, i'm on inside the watching out. there is continuing coverage of the russia ukraine war now entering. it's 2nd week. we have demonstrated that russia is isolated

and alone, most of the well lines up against russia at the u. n. as it's foreign minister tells al jazeera, the conflict is justified because of the mission is clear to disarm ukraine and not deploy or manufacture any weapons that threaten russia. security on russian. businessman roman abramoff, which confirms he's selling at the london foot or club chelsea off to demands for him to be sanctioned. ah, from an overwhelming yet symbolic vote at the un to increasingly tell sanctions the world is moving to further isolate russia for its invasion of ukraine. the events of now moving into its 2nd week is gaining ground. take a look at the area shaded in red. they are now controlled by russia and the allied

separatists in the south. russia says it's taken control of caisson, which is a port sissy on the black sea. ukraine's government disputes that the may have another port, sissy matter, poll is reporting mass casualties. after what he described is 15 hours of continuous bombardment by russian forces out there, as charles stratford says, thousands of people, a truck there. some worry, the terrifying accounts that we're hearing from people trying to get out of marable . we've been speaking to drivers and members of a convoy put together by the greek console. the. the greeks surprisingly have a community in mariel full and the council tried to put together a convoy to get civilians out and they're describing horrifically strong and terrifying. fighting inside mario paul, the seasoning they are describing bridges,

at least one bridge that has been destroyed. they're unable to confirm who destroyed the bridge. and they say that there is this, this, this terrifying effort to try and get civilians out of the cities. marable, of course, of huge strategic importance and naval port city on the sea of as off and somewhere where we had always suspected am. and military analysts had said that there would be a big fight because of the amount of ukrainian military and ukrainian paramilitaries in that city. a city it was very proud of having pushed separatists back out of it in 2014. the reason that that city is so important for the russians. so analysts say is because if they were to take control of it, it would give them a land corridor from the east, further east, where the separatists have been in control for, for 78, no on 8 years now and northern crimea. and we know that the russians have been

suffering terribly with respect to water resources on in, in crimea, water resources that have been taken controllable, were taking control of by the ukrainians in 2014. we also hear of terrible shelling, m and mass casualties around the town of walner vaca. that is also north of mariel pool. and we understand that there had been an attempt earlier in the day to try and organize some sort of a corridor. also civilians could get out and we've heard nothing since a large explosion has also shaken central cave. and what the president's office says was a missiles strike near the capital city, southern railway station. the ukrainian well way service said that thousands of women and children were being evacuated from the station at the time of the strike, from living under semen to wraps up wednesdays of

a major developments within ukraine. one of so many towns and cities under relentless attack and in hawk he, it's even worse here. the cities military airfield is destroyed. it's the start of another round of terror for ukraine's 2nd city. its forces, again trying to defend themselves and their civilians. russian power troopers are reported to be in the outskirts of the city, fighting with ukrainian soldiers in the capital keys, the aftermath of a missile attack on the cities television tow. doesn't zimmer zane looting it is beyond humanity. this rocky strike proves that. for many russians, our kia is absolutely foreign to them. they don't know a thing about our capital of about our history, but they all have orders to erase our history a, raise our country a raises all. wednesday saw a low in the fighting,

and many families took the opportunity to make their escape. some of them getting to the outskirts by foot and finding bridges destroyed by ukrainian forces to hold back russian advances were okay, suitably should with, with you. the enemy is pulling its troops close to the capital we. we are getting ready, and we will defend our city. in the south, the russians are now claiming they've taken their 1st ukrainian city since the fighting began. it's the black sea port of hassan. in the city of anna holder, residents blocked the road to europe's largest nuclear power station in a stand off with the russian forces, bornea moody. so as it was obviously the nuclear part is under secure protection. all the workers and people are standing under ukrainian flags. nobody's going to surrender the city out. people are totally determined. its a determination shared by so many civilians. every day,

the war effort gets bigger. small companies run across ukraine, trying to do their bit to help this company is attempting to use steel beams, to good effect for they were all hours making defences that date back to the 1st will war. the so called tank hedgehogs, there are determined efforts by those fighting and those helping. but is it enough to avoid defeat? andrew simmons al jazeera levine, was he, exclusively without his heir rushes foreign ministers that his country has always worked hard with the west. avoid the risk of a nuclear wall. so kayla, for all was asked if the world has reached the edge of a novice with another spreadsheet presented by the new ones cuz they'll still use live and we, you should direct that question to president biden. he's the one who said, if we do not go the way of sanctions, the alternative can only be the 3rd world war fighting as a veteran politician,

regardless of our position on what the united states does on the international stage. biden. and president putin in june of last summer in geneva, consistently confirmed the declaration of the leaders of the united states and the soviet union in the 1980s that there could be no victor in nuclear war. and therefore, it should never flare up. in january of this year, the leaders of the 5 permanent members of the security council signed a similar joint declaration of a study in most likely the old instinct is still alive in the minds of our western partners that they do not rule out such a possibility. despite the public affirmation of the position of the 5 permanent members of the security council. and other developments, the un general assembly today approved a resolution that deplores but doesn't condemn russia ukraine invasion. it was its 1st emergency sessions since 1997 from the u. n. and kristen salumi reports ukraine came to the general assembly, arguing that russian aggression is a violation of the un charter as well as the deadly existential threat. they have

come to the ukranian soil, not only to appeal, some of us, not only to see our cause, and for your it is they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. here russia has no veto power, just the power to make its case, even in the face of enormous opposition. i am gonna give us your refusal to support today's draft. resolution is a vote for a peaceful ukraine. free from radicalism and neo nazis. i mean, you're not seasonal. in the end, only 4 member states cited with the russians. 141 voting in favor of the resolution deploring the military operation. today, the world has spoken with a clear united voice. together, the vast majority of the world has condemned russia's unprovoked unjustified unconscionable war. we have deplored barouche for allowing its territory to be

used to facilitate this aggression. 35 countries abstain from voting, among them, china, india, and south africa. the resolution that we have conceived at to d does not create an environment conducive for diplomacy, dialogue, and mediation. however, the united arab emirates, which had abstained on a similar resolution, and the security council, came out in favor. right now we recognized that this resolution adopted here today is a necessary signal of where we, we need to be going, resigning ourselves to a cycle of perpetual violence. and sanctions that only adds to the suffering of civilians diminishes us all. under international law, matters of peace and security are the purview of the security council. but the counsel invoked a rarely used provision of the un charter to get around the russian veto and call for the special emergency session of the general assembly. it's outcome according

to sponsors shows russia's isolation on the international stage. kristin salumi al jazeera, the united nations. well, yes, president joe biden says that the number of countries that supported the un resolution shows a well, largely united against russia voted united nations to condemn food. $141.00 countries voted to do that in the un general assembly several abstained. china abstained. didn't say didn't vote with him, but abstain. indian state. 7 countries abstain. i think it was the number there alone. and they did what they did in my view. he did, would he because he thought he could split nato split europe and split the united states. really demonstrating the whole world. no one can split is come to

less tentative. a tall white house correspond kimmy hawk. it's kimberly the president kayley pleased with the un resolution. the question is how much political weight doesn't really carry? well, i think the president is really determined to show the outcome of this vote since a strong and clear message to russia, and that is the way that he believes that carries is that russia is once again, be reminded that it is a loan of the world stage and so that is why he is driving home the message, even as he's trying to sell his domestic agenda, that there is no other path to resolving this except to work with the world to try and resolve this. he continues to make the case that there is a pathway to resolve these differences. the security difference isn't that is diplomacy,

but any other outcome is going to leave russia entirely isolated. we've seen the united states in conjunction with its partners and allies, lovely punishing sanctions as it has promised repeatedly, in ratcheting these up in serious increments towards russia. and the u. s. president also pointing out that russia increasingly is noticing that any countries that it tries to work with in this case, if it's reached out to china or india, who in the case of this un vote abstain from condemning russia that they too could find themselves in the future alone. so in terms of political weight, the u. s. president said from the outset that this would be a u. s. foreign policy that worked in conjunction with other nations and when it comes to the ukraine conflict, he certainly has kept his promise with regard to that that can be in all

the news. the pentagon announced today that it would delay its nuclear missile test that was scheduled for this weekend. what is that all about? what it's about is the fact that you'll recall that her, earlier in the week, russia raised its nuclear deterrent level. and this was alarming to the world for obvious reasons, because this is a ratcheting up of nuclear capabilities by and nuclear world power i and i. so the question became, what would the response be by another nuclear power? of course, the united states? well, the united states decided at this time that it would not as sort of heighten it's alert level in response and that certainly was reassuring to many around the world . and now it has gone a step further in order to reassure the world by announcing that it will not follow through with a planned test of an intercontinental ballistic missile test. this is something

that was explained by the pentagon press secretary, john kirby in this is what he had to say about that test. take a listen. such provocative rhetoric and possible changes to nuclear posture involving the most consequential weapons in our respective arsenals is unacceptable . the united states has not taken any similar steps. and so in an effort to demonstrate that we have no intention in engaging in any actions that can be misunderstood or misconstrued. secretary defense has directed that are minute man 3 intercontinental ballistic missile test launch. scheduled for this week to be postponed. and we did not take this decision lightly, but instead to demonstrate that we are a responsible nuclear power. now with regard to both of these stories, whether it is the united states and how it chooses to work with other nations,

whether it is the coordination of military tactics. all of this can be wrapped up in the way that the united states is moving forward in the travel schedule of the secretary of state antony blinking. he on thursday is going to be traveling to belgium. he's going to be meeting with other foreign ministers, nato headquarters, as they continue to coordinate something that they've done from the beginning on the issue of what the united states alleges is russian aggression and the concerns about the russian invasion of ukraine. ok, thank you for that's kimberly hook it there for us at the white house for coverage as the war in ukraine. shortly. we report from inside a soviet era bombshell for now, doubling up as a temporary home family. ah .

one group of citizens take him to the streets of the eastern city of that bill, skin ah. gunshots were heard as a military vehicle approached protesters. seminar protests have also taken place across the country with some activists trying to block russian tanks and video circulating on social media shows that ukrainians, caring for a captured russian soldier with the soldier was off a t. m. food by local residents after he surrendered, a woman was also seen using her mobile phone to cool the man's mother. he breaks down in tears in parts of the east controlled by ukrainian forces. some families have made temporary homes in bomb shelters. while the abdul hamid reports from the

city of the negro, in a quiet corner outside the barracks, the joy of family of united, even though is just for a few minutes. a chilled timothy carrying prosthetic spare parts where his father likes to be cold sailor. low by the mark rowden, one sailor lost his left leg. 2 years ago when he was in the ukrainian marines, he rejoined the army a few days ago. seamless. he is not fully aware of the scale of the russian onslaught because his mother doesn't let him watch the news. let him feel comfortable at 1st, specially 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. the ukrainians fleet, car, heave,

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 his containing basic necessities or the brothel heroes at 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. disney pro has so far remains 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 bow 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 despise his hand. the cup, he says he will fight to the bitter end. he believes russia's ambitions all far greater than ukraine. will nobody with mr. lawyer if you look at history starting from trans mystery in moldova, georgia on them don boss, 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. men in did a pro wondering what president vladimir putin plans offered a city with the russian army advancing from the south. and north men believed the quite they have now could soon be broken. hood of that hamid al jazeera denny pro in eastern ukraine. london's chelsea football club has been put up for sale by the

russian iona ryman abramoff, which he says he will donate the proceeds to help with victims in ukraine. melina has been on the prussia to denounce russia's invasion. i've also been calls for the british government and prom, of ich, to it sanctions list. the u. s. meanwhile, is operating pressure on russia's cremmit in fact, and late with a new task force, it's calling collector capture. it's named after the term klepto christine, which refers to corrupt individuals who misused power to accumulate wealth. that task force will focus on straining the finances of on a galks by making sure they don't evade sanctions export restrictions and other meshes. let's get more in this. we can speak to stefan casela used to work in the asset forfeiture and money laundering section of the us justice department. he now has his own consultancy firm. he joins this firm outback in north carolina. thank you for your time, sir. now that it's an international anti corruption body,

how exactly is this one any different? well, what this new task force will do is simply use existing law in a way that has been used already for many years, but with perhaps more resources. and that is to seize the assets that are derived from a foreign crime that are found in the united states or assets that were derived from a u. s. crime committed by a foreign actor in the united states. and this, the idea is to use this existing law, which has been with us for a long time to seize these assets when they are connected to a criminal offense. all they actually any signs yet that the global sanction crackdown of the last week or so is actually having any impact on russia's wealthiest? well, i don't know that i can only tell you what the plan is going forward. when you convict someone of a criminal offense, you can seize the assets that he derived from that offense. as part of dissenters.

if you cannot cubic jim, because he's in a foreign countries future, or you don't know who he is, then you can seize those same assets in another, in a different proceeding without having to get a conviction. and that's why i believe what they're intending to do here. the 1st thing that i described is called criminal work at your the 2nd is called civil forfeiture. and it allows the united states or whichever country is using this tool to recover the assets of foreign criminals. and if they can be used in this instance, as a way of sanctioning, those who have supported the invasion of crane or those who have supported the the government there. then that would be the reason why it would be effective to how much pressure is president putin under g thing from his rich friends. the dogs, i have no idea. i can only tell you that rich russian oligarchy invest a lot of money in the united states. are they invested in real property?

they invest in bank accounts, they invest in businesses and they would have, i'm sure an effect on them and their relationship with the russian government. if they found that the assets that they had placed in the united states were no longer available to them, benighted states does not want its financial institutions, its real property, and so forth to be the repository of crimes committed throughout the world. and if people are putting their criminal proceeds in the united states, we have the tools. ready to take them and that has obviously a deterrent effect. it has a punitive effect. i, it has a disabling the fact that prevents them from being able to use that those resources going forward. and the idea is to go after people who are associated with the russian regime, with mr. prudent or his coterie, then this would have that effect. okay, stephan casella. many thanks for your time,

stephan cassette. i used to work for the asset forfeiture and money laundering section of the us justice department. ok now at some, although well news, tens of thousands of people have been ordered out of their homes in sidney flooding . inundate the west and southern fringes of the australian city to rein husband battering the east coast. moving from the state of queensland into new south wales . 13 people are known to have been killed by cruise. expect to find more bodies in flood zone when waters recede. the white house is laid out national blueprint manage curve at 19 going forward, including dealing with outbreaks and new variance without lock downs. it includes access to free anti borrow pills, an investment to new vaccines. but the plan and funding are yet to be approved by congress. it's understood, the biden administration will seek about another $30000000000.00. we know that we will have to contend with colbert at some level for some time to come. thus,
