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 and mass casualties around the town of walner vaca, that is also north of mary opal. and we understand that there had been an attempt earlier in the day to try and organize some sort of corridors. so civilians could get out and we've heard nothing since. meanwhile, large explosion has shaken central keys in what the president's office says was a missiles strike near the capital cities southern railway station. the ukrainian, well, where service that thousands of women and children were being evacuated from the station at the time of the strike. from livid andre simmons wraps up wednesdays. all the major developments within ukraine. one of so many towns and cities under

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 or suicide we 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 her song. in the city of anna holder, residence blocked the road to europe's largest nuclear power station in a stand off with the russian forces overhead near moody. so as it was obviously the nuclear part is under secure protection of 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,

not only to kill some of us, not only to see our cause and priorities 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 was i'm 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, yeah, 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. that a solution that you have conceded 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 this special emergency session of the general assembly. it's outcome according to sponsors shows russia's isolation on the international stage. kristin salumi al

the you and refugee agency says more than 1000000 refugees of fled ukraine since russia's invasion began just one week ago. it says it's the fastest exodus of people the century. most have headed west into poland and hungary a my of the ukrainian poor city of monte polis reporting mass casualties. often what he described is 15 hours of continuous bombardment by russian forces or similar reports from call keep in the northeast. you and general assembly is voted overwhelmingly in favor. the resolution demanding that russia withdrew its troops. the non biting resolution to pill was the invasion, but doesn't condemn it. or you, as president joe biden says, the number of countries that supported that un resolution shows a well largely united against russia. voting, united nations to condemn food. $141.00 countries voted to do that in the un general assembly. several upstate china abstained.

didn't said didn't go with them, but abstain. india state. several countries abstaining. i think it was the number love and they did, but they didn't mind you. he did. would you be? she thought he could split nato, split europe with united states. got mystery to the whole world. no one can split this, come go straight to white house correspond chimney. how kit, kimberly the president pleased with the un resolution. but how much political weights will it really carry? well, the u. s. president, a statement saying that he believes this really demonstrates the extent of the global outrage. and he really feels that this is just another example of the outrage in terms of what he has defined as russia's horrific assault on

a sovereign neighbor, and that it really show cases an unprecedented level of global unity. now furthermore, the u. s. president goes on to say that vladimir putin, in his view, has been isolated in terms of the global community and has been supported only in terms of the outcome of this vote by for authoritarian states. and he has commanded the united nations for not only holding russia accountable, but also bela roost. and that the u. s. president on the heels of a state of the union speech says this once again shows that democracy will prevail, that freedom, always triumphs over tyranny. so the u. s. president believes that this holds an enormous amount of weight in terms of political view air. we're a political will and that the outcome of this vote really speaks for itself. and the pentagon announced that it would delay its nuclear missile test,

which was shuttled for this weekend. what exactly was that about? l earlier in the week, russia, i now said it was raising its nuclear deterrent level. and this was alarming to the world community for obvious reasons, and that the world watched and held its breath to see what the other nuclear capable, super bower of the united states would do. whether it would also escalade by essentially doing the same thing in retaliation, would it also put it said nuclear capabilities on alert? it decided not to and the pentagon has gone a step further. ah, now saying that it is also going to because of how fragile things are right now, how concerned it is about the possibility for misinterpretation miscalculation and misunderstanding not go through with a plan task for an intercontinental ballistic missile task. in fact is going to be

postponed. and in the words of the press, secretary for the pentagon, john kirby, i, he's given a rather detailed explanation of why take listen. such provocative rhetoric and possible changes to nuclear posture involving the most consequential weapons in our respective arsenals. is unacceptable. 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. so in other words, the united states saying there is the possibility for things to escalate quickly.

and they recognize they have a rule to play in bad and they are not going to take it to the next level. now to that and the united states has been working closely with partners and allies, namely it's at native partners throughout this i, russian invasion of ukraine and even prior to the invasion. and to that end, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin will continue to do that consulting on the part of the u. s. president. he will be traveling to belgium, where he will be meeting with foreign ministers. that trip will commence on thursday. thank you for that. kimberly hope that for us at the white house, ukraine's president has delivered another message of defiance from heavily gone and compound in keith. even if they were able to get more ammunition, more man power, everywhere they go, they'll be destroyed. they will not have peace by won't have food. they won't have a single quite minute. the occupants won't only the defense. the struggle that thou

remember for ever that we're not giving away what is al's the russian belinda roman but i'm of it has confirmed he will sell the english football club. chelsea off to 18 years of ownership is also promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of ukraine's war a. but i'm of it shoes, alleged to have links with vladimir putin has not been named on the british sanctions list. but his concern about the potential seizure of assets is understood to have spoked his mood to so chelsea. the u. s. meanwhile, is upping pressure on rushes kremlin back to lead with a new task force. it's cooling, klepto capture. it's named off to the term clip talk chrissy, which refers to corrupt individuals who misused power to accumulate wealth. that task force will focus on straining the finances of oligarchs by making sure they don't evade sanctions, as well as export restrictions and other measures. what this new task

force will do is simply use existing law in a way that it's 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, when you convict someone of a criminal offense, you can seize the assets that he derived from that offense. as part of the sentence, if you cannot convict him because he's in a foreign country future give or you don't know who he is, then you can seize those same assets in another different proceeding without having to get a conviction. and that's where i believe what they're intending to do here. first

thing that i described is called criminal forfeiture. the 2nd is called civil forfeiture, and it allows united states so 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 ukraine or those who have supported the the government there. then that would be the reason why it would be effective tool been while ukrainians continue to show their resistance with one group taken to the streets of the eastern city of start a bit of skin. the gunshots were heard as the ministry vehicle approached elsewhere. so marks of this has tried to block russian tanks and video circulating on social media shows ukrainians, caring for a catch

built from the waste they've collected. but the waste on the beaches is only part of the problem. this device collects tiny plastic particles from the sea. the samples will be sent to a lab to find out if the water here is is polluted is the coastline bahati my m as traveled from tanza near to help with the research. he says, the particles a disastrous fish, if it lets it look like food for the fish. and we understand that we can get this issue. the end of the day will be productive, productive ability. compet for more than a 1000 years season, a wind carried traders in dallas, across the indian nation. today campaign to say the same winds of bringing plastic waste from as far away as china to these islands. they hoped the flip floppy
