1:02 pm
ground. the un says it is the fastest exodus of people this century. let's take a look at the map areas faded and red hair. you can see there are controlled by russia and by allied separatists. moscow has intensified its shelling of urban areas as the invasion of ukraine. and is it 2nd week or let's take a look at some of the developments on the ground emergency services. in the city of mario poll, say 34 civilians have been killed in just the past day. the mer there says rush and forces surrounding the city are actively preventing people from leaving. right. this is in the north of ukraine in north, in ukraine firefighters are trying to put out a large fire at an oil depot hit by russia's shelling. there are reports at dozens have been killed. that sin shall have an ukraine's capital key of has been shaken by 4 large explosions overnight. a rocket landed near the capital's southern railway station. the ukrainian railway service says thousands of civilians were
1:03 pm
inside the station at the time of the strike. right, andrew simmons joins us now live up from the v of near the border with poland. and you so key it is under increasing attack in kennesaw, which we haven't mentioned yet, apparently in rush, enhance her soul has fallen now, and this is now the 2nd week of this invasion. and it's entering a new face, an even more disastrous phase than the 1st in terms of loss of life and damage to infrastructure and, and also damage to hope of independence for this country. continuing, her soul is a black sea port. it's an important target for the russians. it was heavily fought over the ukrainians, put up a big resistance counter attacking. but now it's fallen. the mass says that russian troops are patrolling the tanks of patrolling. we've seen pictures of that. there
1:04 pm
is still apparently, the ukrainian flag flying above the local authority building, where the man said that he tried to negotiate with the russians. the russians said that they were going to put in a military administration to replace the civic one there. right now, we don't know of the, the numbers dead, but this is a colossal event, really, because everyone was trying so hard to repel the invaders and that sort of things going on in mario poll. further east on the, the coastline there, the sea of as of port. it is a very, very important target for the russians. and they are laying siege to it in a medi evil sort of way. no food and no water, no food, no food, no fuel either. and really no hope everyone is trying to get out of that city. it's absolutely desperate. and then furthermore, going to the capital keith, there is
1:05 pm
a reports of for very large explosions. overnights, one of them and in the railway station, another near a metro station. many civilians around at that time. no details of the number of injuries. and then further north, right further north, at the point of the bell rouge and border where all the, the armor has been streaming in from a sir. sure. he's a is a, is a large town, wouldn't virtually a city. and as commander with repeated rounds of, of missiles and, and tank rounds and a hospital has been hit by one of the missiles. and also there's a big fire going on. a diesel fuel plant has been hit, the have been casualties. we don't have the full number. and then of course, that's not forget huck eve, absolutely desperate situation there. more artillery rounds going into that city. that's devastated already and calls from the ukrainian government for humanitarian
1:06 pm
corridor to be set up to actually save some lives to get people out. the most seriously injured out of this country, of a 40000000 population unimaginable the level, the extent of his conflict. and the cut, the sort of horrendous events that are going on. and jo, a population of 14000000 you say are the un says more than a 1000000 people have fled to fighting. tell me about how people are feeling who are left behind. obviously, a very scary situation waiting for this advance. yes, i mean well it's very hard to describe this the mood, if you will, of people because they're following the president, his daily, his daily accounts of the way he feels, his daily rallying round morale and trying to give people some form of hope that
1:07 pm
they are when this, the resistance, the reaction to that is, is, is really positive. and this mood of resistance is extraordinary. amongst the people we've seen, i think the probably the most vivid example is it's a harder which is a city that is a house or europe's largest nuclear power station. there, a vast number of people blocked the road and, and it wouldn't let the russians through to take this facility. they said they had a safety inspectors there that they would not allow the russians through the was apparently, we understand the, an agreement for the russians to photograph the installation to report back to their nuclear technicians. but right now we're hearing very little, we're not sure who is holding the error. it does seem that it is a popular gathering of so many people, defiant to the last. and this is the key issue. now, for russia, they're getting more and more aggressive the, that the soldiers are getting more and more aggressive. many conscripts amongst
1:08 pm
them are doubtful about what they're doing. they expect to be expected to almost sort of get brothers in arms with the ukrainians in places like ha keith, which is which is so has so many a majority. russian speaking population expected to be welcomed on the streets of these soldiers, badly briefed, and given to believe that they would be liberating people are, are quite shocked. and there is, it is now it's not propaganda is so gay. leverage might say, but there are factual accounts of how the russians are just feeling utterly overwhelmed by the resistance they're facing, not by the army necessarily fully, but by the people. how'd you make the transition from attack to occupation? that is the key issue. will there ever be an acceptance of russian rule, for example, would there ever be any way forward for the russians to run this country of $40000000.00 people that is a really big issue now. and the one that has
1:09 pm
a negative future, there's very little doubt about it. i mean, we're, people are already talking about about how things might transgress, how things might evolve into a situation where russia wins. but it's on imaginable. for most of the people you talked to here and un under, under the most awful conditions where they may, except that to save their lives for a course, there is determination amongst the people, not just the fighters, the civilians, as well as a massive war effort, going on and really, russia may well have underestimated that level, that strength of resolve, amongst the people of ukraine, whether they're chasing away fleeing for their lives or where they're standing firm here and trying to fight, trying to defend and not to give it. i thank you for that under there, and you simmons in these ukraine's emergency service has reported dozens of
1:10 pm
civilian deaths and more than 2000 injuries. as a result of the conflict. hundreds if structures including hospitals have also been destroyed. and while some patients have been moved to say for areas, there's been concern for the safety of terminally ill children. child strategy has more now from vastly fca in east in ukraine. anastasio vault her son to this hospital in the city of zap arisia, 2 weeks ago, 5 year old will or the mayor was suffering eternal bleeding and in a critical condition, he is recovering. well. there has been heavy shelling in the town where they live and they can't get back because of the russian army advance. yes, yes and of course i am worried. i have 3 other children at home. there has been sheldon and they're hiding in the basement. newborn babies in incubators lined the corridor. doctors had moved them here to shield them. if his russian army shelling
1:11 pm
the venetian young some, one of the hiss areas protected from shrapnel if there was a blast. so we put the babies here. it is deep inside the building 22 walls. viashi's love leads us into the basement hospital star for preparing beds. the room feels cold and damp. they say the children who cannot be moved from the intensive care unit. the shelling starts there and they'll help them with diseases . they're incurable, so we have to leave them them here in case of her err alara's, because they dependent, they are dependent on oxygen. they are dependent on as a cetacean agreement and we cannot transport everything necessary for them. they're outside volunteers, a filling sandbags to strengthen doorways and protect the windows shelves float.
1:12 pm
and if i leave the hospital, navigating walls of tank traps being set up across the city to stop a rush in advance. we head towards anastasio town. the road is empty. the ukrainian military tells us the greatest threat is air strikes from russian military drones. in the last 10 minutes or so, we've heard what sounds like a heavy barrage of grad rockets being fired in an area behind me. that's towards the city of vassar, live go, which we understand is being fought over by ukrainians. and russian forces also in the last few minutes, we spoke a couple of people that tried to deliver aid into the town. they said they were turned back by the army because of the shelling. cha, stratford al jazeera, near vasa live cur, eastern ukraine. russia's foreign minister, so gay love took questions from foreign meteor
1:13 pm
a short time ago. he told reporters he has no doubt that a solution will be found. useful. graham, i suppose you book that of course it's bad when people are dying. the soldiers and civilians, as it's been happening in the done best for 8 years, we will find a solution. i am totally convinced the minimum requirements are well known and they were expressed in the last round of talks with the ukrainians. the ukranian side had some reason to postpone those negotiations. clearly, they are being ruled by washington. we cannot expect russia to allow any danger from the territory of ukraine. i don't. jabari is all for us now in moscow. daughter, what else of the fine municipal saying this morning? well sir, your lover offset that the world is listening to russia, but he's not sure they are hearing a what the russians are saying. and this is a sentiment that he shared even before the invasion began on february 24th. the
1:14 pm
russian foreign minister took a lot of questions from american media. and he was adamant about his country's position that they are really under threat from the and neighboring e. u. countries that are part of nieto and despite the rhetoric coming from the nato, secretary general, as well as the british foreign secretary. and you as president sir gay lover of said that at russia is still very much open to the idea of a dialogue with nato. as well as united states, and he said that this is really not something that they are interested in to create more hysteria. he believes that the hysteria, as he called it, that's been created around ukraine, will come down eventually. and that dialogue between russia and other countries will resume. this is generally how they feel that the narrative that has been spawned by the western a media and governments is really not a reality. on the grounds, he was a,
1:15 pm
even even the denied that there are russian soldiers in the eastern ukrainian city of car cave. he said that there are no russian troops there. and of course, that is a fact that of we've heard from our colleagues on the ground in that area differently as well as the you training governments. so your love, rob said that his country's main concern was the idea of nuclear weapons being placed in nato countries. around russia's borders, and that is what they are trying to fight. he was adamant that they are not looking to stay in ukraine by that they are really at looking after their own security interests. dole. so what up to do we have on the talks meds take place between the russians and ukrainians? i believe on the border with bella. luce well, according to the russian delegation, who left for bella, bruce border with poland. that is where they've been waiting for the ukranian side
1:16 pm
since last night. we heard from a member of the russian delegation saying that they are waiting for the ukrainians to arrive via poland. this is a different location than the ones that the 1st round of talks where they took place at that was along the fellow ruth ukrainian border on monday. this 2nd round, which russian officials believe will be more constructive, are due to take place in about 23 hours time. they are just waiting for the ukrainian delegation to arrive at we heard on wednesday that the ukrainian officials who were traveling to that area via poland had been waiting for some kind of an escort from the russian military to be escorted through ukraine and into poland. so they would arrive safely along the border there where the talks had you to take place. and then we heard from you training officials, again saying that they were not keen on having these talks in belarus because of course that is one of the countries that was hosting russian troops and where the
1:17 pm
russian military went into crane from. and they were trying to find another location, but russians have said that it to have any kind of dialogue. it will have to take place in bella group. so we're now waiting to see whether or not the ukranian delegation will arrive shortly. and what can be achieved in the coming hours from the 2nd round of talks? adults jibari in moscow. thank you. a u. s. is accusing russia of muslim the media as the editor in chief of its only independent tv news channel left the country. and the leading liberal russian radio station occur mcphee has also been taken off air. if i was wanting to meet out at to stop broadcasting. what regulators cor false information about the war from moscow? abandoned smith reports on how the conflicts being covet. let out in tv. rain has always had to choose its words carefully. it's the only news channel in
1:18 pm
russia that isn't pro kremlin. now the authorities a telling it what words it can and cannot use, not an oil move without an editor in chief tea concept, co tells view. as we continue to tell you about the war, which the military authorities call a special military operational. it's very important for russian authorities not to use the wars such as invasion, war war, but for the moscow prosecutor's office tv. rain isn't trying hard enough. it ordered the channel to stop spreading, what it calls false information regarding the actions of russian military personnel . a few hours after speaking to al jazeera ticket, left russia with his family to be actual tv rains website is blocked. all that's left is this stream on youtube, them, but they knew what kit is. wanted to be a separate out. same state tv refers to a special operations own in ukraine. the coverage is concentrated on what's happening in the bottles for the nets. and lou ganske was now recognised as
1:19 pm
republics by moscow did not. there's no mention of a tax on other ukrainian cities. and i told you have now is one of the 64 percent of russians for whom television is their primary source of news by me at the flu. did a bomb, as i heard it just the opposite. they try to somehow protect the patient population that much as possible. i can't say odd supported this from the beginning, but now i do supported us off of the prevalence and the cremeans foreign channels don't refer to an invasion. russia will continue, though, with its military and caution. in arabic, the headline reads russia's military operation to protect don bass and in french, russia will continue it's offensive in ukraine. but coda 14, we saw on the russia communications regulator has acute can outlet to falsely depicting what it called the military operation in ukraine. one of them's the novia, does that,
1:20 pm
and it's headlines as well. at least some good news. the word piece hasn't been forbidden yet. bernard smith, i'll just era moscow. will dmitri babich is a political analyst with russian state owned news agency, ross? yes. got you. my colleague come all and very spoke to him earlier and asked why russian media outlets were avoiding calling the conflict in ukraine. a war the expressions like calais, true damage, or you know, regime change used by the western media are also very critical. and in fact, they have war behind the so russia way has learned from the west or that's the issue. however, i don't think that these matters not particularly wise, not to use the word war, but rather to use the transformation. and everybody understands what reparation means in russia. and also i would say that basically it's a part or general receipt. that is the golf game. right now. i'll go back to the
1:21 pm
original point because you've used what was there again, you talk about the word war. it is a war. people are dying. it's an invasion again, why come the russian government just let people call it that? well, people that it's just the big media, the media that are using state owned and it's going to see if they don't use the word war. if you go to the internet, if you will, they will have large sign including sound basically, and by ukrainian then you will see the ward. why so many times this morning, 171 or the guy that's good to hear then. and they said, we can agree on that, tell me about these other radio stations and the like the more liberal radio stations, which finding themselves shutting down. now, it does not speak highly of a free media there. if outlets condo operate, and report what they want to, well,
1:22 pm
a lot of people have raised concerns about f r. i was a frequent guess on that station for many years, or 30 years. that was the 1st private media all left in russia. but it changed over the years. you know, the last i would say 1516 years and became very pro, with some very negative. what, anything the better option, the least. you will disable that. the one to be banned from last time. you know, the reason why it was shut down, it was, he gave the voice to one of the most anti russian speakers. you bringing me give me a peaceful when i promised lee 2 days ago. and that was that the reason i had to well, as we mentioned, the u. n. is describing this as the fastest refugee exodus this century. and here's
1:23 pm
where they're going. poland, his taken in the most with nearly half a 1000000. although over hungry romania answer, archaea have also opened their borders to mostly women and children who have been able to flee another 88000 have gone to other european countries. and even russia has taken in several 1000 refugees with just a few 100 going to bell roofs. pollens by mercer has visited a reception center near the ukrainian border to see the refugee crisis. first hand is government has been dealing with the largest and flocks of people escaping the war. st bas ravi has more from lynn in easton, poland ah, in a medieval town in poland. a few hours drive from ukraine in the courtyard of an old church. volunteers from all over europe are preparing 8th convoys bound for the border less than a week into the russian invasion. this spontaneous effort aims to help displaced
1:24 pm
and desperate people in sight. you crate on you my own needs. they don't have anything. i'm just, they don't have anything to get anywhere to sleep. nothing to fight 12 volunteers are working against the clock to pack and drive as much aid into the country as they can organize was worry. belushi and forces allied with russia could soon block their supply lines. this effort is the beginning of something bigger wiper quote on a new major boyer for that. but the polish government players to use lublin as a hub for humanitarian personnel. 8 flights and convoys to ukraine, all signs point to a protracted crisis in western europe. marino's ukrainian, living in germany in less than a week, her home was invaded. she was cut off from her family by war. and her middle aged father was drafted into the ukrainian army. he has a rifle, but she is worried that he has no body armor. when diseased mom or papa, when you see that mom or dad are calling you don't know if they are calling just to
1:25 pm
ask how i feel or to give the news that someone is that or maybe they are calling for the last time. for now, her focus is to organize a convoy from her home in germany, to her homeland in ukraine. and i'm also proud to be, you know, creative as you should be very proud. late into the night, donations of warm clothes, food, water, diapers, toys, everything, keep coming. but ukrainians were fighting need urgent, military support. and people like andree are taking matters into their own hands. his chorus pack tight with walkie talkies flak jackets by now killers all paid for by crowdsourcing on social media. he is perhaps the face of a burden and ukrainian resistance. metal plates from young would be influencers who see themselves fighting the army of a cold war hawk actually came from when we met him. he and his friend were driving
1:26 pm
to the border to cross into ukraine. of course, and i'm scared because they can. yeah. but my feeling is that the gym will not die, but he will not be a president for sure. sure. because his he just started the big war and i don't believe the people in the russian federation. they are in his yeah, we've met a growing number of ukrainians living abroad. extremely motivated. they say, to go back and fight russians despite all odds of they are not part of a for an army. are fighting for some political cause. they are fighting for their homes and families for, for speaking. and andries journey is made more personal because his wife and daughter live in kid. dear mother good either. and that yeah,
1:27 pm
it's my daughter. i'm coming to you to save your life season, ordinary ukrainians. an extraordinary circumstances are all driving east, hoping to find their way home was bring in vain. bas ravi live now who is now at the medical border in poland vein. what's happening there? well, in the last 24 hours, there has been an important milestone crossed here in this crisis. certainly not one to celebrate, but one that will likely cause a sense of concern and alarm in the region. an estimated 1000000 refugees have crossed from ukraine into europe, and more than half of them absorbed here into poland. now, just to give you a sense of how big that number is during the 2015 syrian refugee crisis, it took 3 months for
1:28 pm
a 1000000 people to come into this region and into europe. so that gives you a sense of how quickly things are changing. on the ground here in the conflict next door, enabling ukraine. now, here in medico, we're about a short drive to the town of the city of levine, the closest major town to ukraine. so that means that this crossing has been the busiest throughout this conflict here. and medical, we've seen buses of refugees streaming in refugees crossing in on foot babies in prams and the elderly families, mothers with their children having left their husbands behind who are currently fighting in ukraine have been conscripted into the military or has stayed back to take care of their homes, and if, if we just pan across to the other side of this border crossing, we'll see this is become a major hub of activity. there's journalists here trying to wait to talk to people as well as trying to cross into ukraine into live. again, it's
1:29 pm
a straight shot to the 1st major city. there's a supply trucks taking food medicine, all men of humanitarian relief aid into the country as well. and that long stretch of basically a traffic jam stretches pretty far down the road. and we're also seeing a number of civilians trying to take help in as well as empty buses, going in no doubt to drive refugees waiting on the other side of the orders. back across, we've also seen a number of people in camouflage apparel and military guard, no doubt going in to ukraine to try to join the resistance against the russian military. we also spoke as we were standing here to a gentleman, working with an animal rescue shelter, and they've organized 60 vehicles to go in to rescue abandoned animals in and in some people's perspective that we were not talking to. they said that animals represent, perhaps the most innocent and dependent victims of this man made conflict. they
1:30 pm
have no way to run. they have no citizenship, they have no passports, they've simply been left behind. so we're seeing massive relief efforts to try to get those living creatures out of the conflict zone as well. then as you say, a huge number of people fleeing are in poland. what is the long term plan to look after these people? i mean, long term plans are exactly what ngos are dealing with. now. we spoke with a, a, a logistics expert for one of the major engineers operating on a global scale. and they say that what they're having to do is basically blaise new trails. they've never had to really deal with a refugee crisis at this scale in this region before. and they're really struggling to get a sense of, of how to go about doing that at the moment is just about creating humanitarian corridors, to get relief goods into ukraine. and one of the biggest gaps of information that and jose,
1:31 pm
in really government to like are dealing with is figuring out what's happening inside, we know how many refugees of fled in what they need, once they're in, poland or other parts of europe. but trying to assess how many people have been internally displaced has become a major problem. we know that a 1000000 people have left the country so far into the european continent. we know that there's a potential for another 4 to 7000000 people in coming days. and if we've achieved a number of a 1000000 in a week, it gives you a sense of how exponentially quickly this problem was growing. but ukraine is a country of 40 plus 1000000 people. and the estimates of how many people are internally displaced from the fighting. in the east of the country as people push west, that remains a bit of a blank space right now. and a problem that not, no government is ever really faced because they don't have information to deal with on that side. so at the moment, 8 groups are trying to assess not only what's happening outside of ukraine, but trying to get a sense of the problems people are facing inside the country. so they can get help to them as quickly as possible. vain arbitrary. they're at the medical border and
1:32 pm
pull it athletes from russia and bell roofs have been banned from the winter. paralympic games invasion. it comes 24 hours after an issue, an initial decision, allowing them to compete, as neutrals, the international paralympic committee also stated it will haul, no events in russia all values until further notice. after russia's invasion of ukraine. debating opening ceremony will begin on friday. let's get more from katrina. you joins us live from beijing, katrina, this is a real turn around what, what caused this reversal of the initial decision that's why this is really a dramatic about face by the international paralympic committee. as you just said earlier on wednesday, they initially decided that russian and bell russian paralympics would be allowed to compete in the beijing paralympics. they said that the reason was that these athletes weren't the aggressors themselves and they did not have legal grounds to
1:33 pm
ban them from the game. so they said that they could go forward competing as neutral. so without the russian flag under, instead the i p c flag and that any wins they had wouldn't be counted towards the middle tally. now, after that initial decision was made on wednesday, there was immediate criticism and backlash from numerous athletes and other sporting organizations as well as a delicate. they said that this decision was incomprehensible in humane. and they said that it sent the wrong message to the russian government. and following that, we had a number of paralympic delegations, threatened to boy called the wind to paralympics completely. and this is just a day before they're due to open here invasion on friday evening. now the i p c said that the situation had simply become untenable, that tensions would quickly rising within the paralympic village here in china. and that there were even some safety concerns for some of the athletes there. so the, there has been welcome of this by the ukrainian delegation, dave,
1:34 pm
thank the international sporting community for supporting them. but as for the other side, we know that they're about 70 or t mendez from the russian or from russian delegation. and about 12 from bella. bruce, they're already here in china because they were due to, to participate in go ahead. it's still unclear as to when they might leave china or potentially, if they will go forward with some sort of legal action against the barring of their competition. and this event which the i p c says is a, is possible between the you in beijing, thank you. in parts of the east controlled by ukrainian forces, some families have made temporary homes in bomb shelters. and some, even though physically challenged, are ready to fight to defend their country. hot abdel hamid reports from the city of 3 pro in a quiet corner outside the barracks. the joy of family of united,
