let's hop on ukraine. how will the world react to this latest move? and what impact would this have on the people from crane and russia? as events unfold? see with us for the latest news and analysis for moscow on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah hi there, i'm given l. this is the news our live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, 8 days and counting the death and destruction is laid bare in russia's bombing of ukraine. president zalinski says his troops are fighting back dash cam footage from a major attack can cheer and they have catches moments of an explosion. a spiraling refugee crisis over

a 1000000 ukrainians have fed. the violence will take you to the polish border and a dwindling source of information, how russian, john lisa being increasingly told to tow the government and in sport paralympic organizers make a thought in you turn just a day before the opening ceremony, russian and bell originally had now been banned from the beijing paralympics for their country's role in the war in ukraine. ah, negotiations aimed ending the fighting in ukraine is said to resume in the next hour, delegations from ukraine and russia. will be meeting in bella. luce is moscow's invasion of ukraine enters it 2nd week. despite her climbing civilian death, toll brushes, foreign minister. so gay lover has told reporters, he has no doubt that a solution will be found. i used to go to church, graham, august motion, both of them of it's, 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 or harris, the situation as it stands on the ground to areas faded and red or controlled by russia and by allied separatists. moscow is made advances in the south and is encircled. major ukrainian cities, more than a 1000000 refugees have now fled the fighting. i take a look at some of the main developments on the 8th day of russia's invasion, emergency services in the poor city of merrier poll, say 34 civilians have been killed during relentless bombardment. the mass as russian forces are inserting the city and preventing people from leaving water has been cause food is running off or this is from, nor than ukraine,

where firefighters are trying to put out a large fire at an oil. therefore, that's been hit by russian shelling. there are reports that doesn't have been killed in ship. his grades capital key of has been shaken by for large explosions. overnight. a rocket landed near the capital's southern railway station, ukrainian railway services. thousands of civilians were inside the station at the time of the strike. well, as soon as joins us now live from near the border with poland to andrew. so a 2nd round of talks are about to kick off. is there any hope, i guess that this route will be successful very little indeed. i would say the very best that the ukrainian side can hope for will be some form of agreements on a humanitarian corridor or several unites area. codle's. a critical situation in hockey, in particular as so many casualties and so many injured. and there also was

a critical situation in, in also in several other cities. but mary poll is really the top of the line in terms of need. as far as peace is concerned, that is a 1000000 miles away, both sides so far apart. ahead of these talks being announced that came from the russian side. there hasn't been much word of them in the ukrainian meta media and they're running late. it should have been 12 gmc, we understand from our source that the helicopter, taking the ukrainian delegation to we don't know where it took off about an hour ago or less than that in fact. and may still be in flights. i'm the, as i say, the venue is top secrets all that might become clear later they last met on monday and they, they agreed to disagree and they said that they would have talk, sir, later on. but since then, in that 4 days, the situation has become, will,

it's deteriorates. it massively, it's escalated and the language being used by both sides as got more or more militant the maybe so the lover of may have sounded quite calm about the possibilities of developments there. but he, it, he, it, he says elsewhere that he wants the demilitarization or of ukraine. nothing less than that. as far as ukraine's concerned that the president here are, is a zalinski. it is saying categorically he wants a ceasefire before is any development other than a cease fire has to happen right away. i don't even stand by for because i wanna talk to dos. dubai corresponded to moscow about just that about sir gay level. they're saying he does think that a solution will be found, but on the other hand is also sticking to rushes demands. what should we make of them? well,

i think russia is going in to these meetings, thinking that they really do have the upper hand. they are going to be talking about 3 points with the ukrainians. according to the head of the russian delegation, who is now in bella, bruce, they will be talking about the military and technical operation that is ongoing, as well as the humanitarian situation. and then finally, the mean, the 3rd point for the rushes will be the political aspect that they want to bring all these 3 parts together. i have this discussion with the ukrainians. now we understand that the, a russian delegations a, went to a belarus in the region abreast which borders a with poland as well as ukraine. but we are, we were told by the russians on wednesday that the ukrainian delegation will arrive from poland. so they will be traveling from ukraine to poland and then meeting the russians in bella bruce on the border there. and the russians have said that the

ukrainians are just buying some time. there were supposed to have this meeting on wednesday evening, but it's been pushed back to today. and as they are still waiting for them, they say they want to have this discussion. they want to be able to think about a possibility, way out of the current conflict in ukraine and the russians have said that they are waiting for them and have been waiting for them for a while long. and they will wait for them to see what they come back to the negotiating table with the russian position is that as long as there is a path of a dialogue between the 2 sides, there is a possibility of some kind of an agreement, but it seems very unlikely at this stage, i think it's just important that they are talking to each other. once they can add that stops. i think that is what will be a when things will get much worse for the main part going brush and say as long as we have this continuing open channel of dialogue, then there's a possibility. there's hope that they could try to end the conflict that's going on

does to buy a moscow. thank you. let's go back now to andrew simmons standing by for us. eliza is andrew, so i me all of that. it is very well talks are ongoing, not, not great. hundreds that talks will be happening. meanwhile, the fighting continues, the bombardment continues wrap up for us the latest on the ground. well, the biggest development is her song, which is sir. a city in the south. blacks are black sea port arc, strategically important. russia has now got full control of that city, the mer, having negotiations with soldiers at tanks on the streets, unsure of what is going to happen next. the ukrainian forces apparently have gone out of the city where they are right now. we're not sure. will they try and mount a counterattack? totally unclear, further down the coastline to maria poll, i don't see of as of port, very big city. and that his critical situation,

it is under siege with food, water, and fuel run out all round the wicked. it's just to, in a totally catastrophic situation right now, in terms of other cities, her keys in it, in a terrible state as well, more attacks their attacks in the capital cleave and, and he f is in a position now where it is waiting to see what's going to happen with the armored column at that is that is outside on was on the gates of the city more or less. but coming back to hockey, it's been described there by a presidential advisor as a 21st century stalingrad. it's that bad. so situation in terms of talks is, as they're very cynical, the government here, they've cynical about russia's motivation. they feel nobody wants to walk out of these talks, no one else to be seen to be walking out of these talks, but the amount of ground, whether they're sharing any common interest is 0. right. andrew simmons,

thank you for that update from live eve will the us high commission of the refugees and put the scale of the refugee exit is from ukraine into context. in just 7 days . 1000000 people have fled ukraine uprooted by this senseless war. i have worked in refugee emergencies for almost 40 years, and rarely have i seen an exodus as rapid as this one. but let's get more on the refugee crisis in ukraine. here's a breakdown of where everyone is going. poland, who's taken in the most with nearly half a 1000000, although of a hungry romania and the volcano, i've also opened the board is mostly women and children who has 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 buy the roof. sanders harvey has more now from dublin in

eastern poland 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 aid convoys bound for the border less than a week into the russian invasion. this spontaneous effort aims to help displaced and desperate people in sight you crate on you my own needs. they dont have anything i'm just they don't have anything to get anywhere to sleep. nothing to fight. well. 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 for that quote on. if you have more than you very jet boys, but the polish government plans to use lublin as a hub for humanitarian personnel,

8 flights and convoys to you crate. 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's worried that he has no body armor. when diseased, his mom to papa, when you see that mom or dad calling, you don't know if they are calling just to 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, as you should be very proud laid 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 plate, 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 to the border to cross into ukraine. of course, and i'm scared because they can guy. 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 that people in the russian federation who they are in his date. 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 and andries journey is made more personal because his wife and daughter live him kid. dear mother good either. and that he is my daughter. i'm coming to you to save your life. he's in ordinary ukrainians, and extraordinary circumstances are all driving east hoping to find their way home. zane basra, the older 0 lou blin, poland, was speaking earlier on thursday, ukrainian president of a lot of as an in sky told russian soldiers to go home. i get my daughter receive oh, great missiles and bombs hitting our cities shows they couldn't achieve anything significant

in our land. all that defensive lines a safe but the enemy doesn't have success with any of his strategic directions. they're disappointed and lost. we get normal course and they will, we will rebuild every house, every street and every city, and we say to russia, learn the words of reparation and contribution. you will pay back the full price for everything that you did. that brought the whole grains ogrinas. ukraine has started welcoming foreign volunteers who are coming to our country, the 1st of 16000 coming to defend liberty and our lives. foreign fighters have heated davinsky calls and they're coming in from all of the world to help you. crane defend itself from russia and timing to group of young men and preparing for their journey west to fight against global superpower. the hard and has more thailand knows

a thing or 2 about fighting for its democracy. these former tie air force members are now political activists known for lee in protest in 2020, against the military backed government. now they see a need for their services in ukraine. dominga burns, i live long, but i have been involved in demanding democracy in my country and opposing tire any ukrainians. also fighting for democracy, i don't now invaded by a super power and a tyrant. so i asked myself, what i could do for them. this is the reason why i applied china pong pong pi has started recruiting others to join him in just one day. he says he received 2000 names of people, interested in volunteering law, couldn't fight for democracy. they fight for their democracy. de, we are like friends, it's the same feeling, the same ideology, woman, many common to me, it's unfair to the ukrainian people because the attack happened not only at a military base, but also at hospitals,

only kindergarten schools and civilian areas. this is the reason why i want to go help them if you asked me whether i'm scared to get killed. of course, i'm scared. ukrainian embassy in bangkok is tasked with varying the recruits. they need to provide proof of military training and have a clean criminal record. pung pi said his training from 2 years in the air force could help the ukrainians protect civilians guard areas and secure supply lines box . are you kayla? i want to tell you questions that you are not fighting alone too many people want to help. you don't lose hope and feel that the world has abandoned you. even if we are not a superpower law, even if we are only a small light, we can shine a bright light to help you. if we all join together, please wait. we are in the process of coming to help you with that is thailand was among 141 countries at the united nations general assembly that voted to reprimand

russia for invading ukraine and demand moscow. stop fighting and withdraw its military forces. while it's not clear if paul pie or his friends will be accepted to help ukraine, they have already begun to prepare, offering help from an unlikely corner of the world. leo harding al jazeera, they the more head on the news are including media reports suggest president vladimir putin is growing increasingly frustrated and is in a circle. and in sport, chelsea's russian honor is called the london premier league club for sale. all the details coming up for western nations are considering ramping up sanctions against russian president vladimir putin in a circle. so just who are prudent, closest advisers? and what influence might they wield? long time confidant survey show who is russia's minister of defense,

he joins portion on hunting and fishing trips to siberia, and it's been viewed in the past as a potential successor. so galeb rob is roches most senior diplomats and has been for 18 years. but he's not considered to have a big role in decision making, particularly on ukraine. alexander warner called leads russia's federal security services. one fusion is thought to trust more than any other source like that. and he worked for the k g b. and then there's putin's family president, putin has to add all daughters and has reported to have a 3rd. it's also been reported that he's moved family members to an underground bunker in siberia, designed to protect, even in the event of nuclear war. let's bring involved. there are there, she is, expert in russian and central asian affairs and his senior lecturer at the politics of central asia. so at the university of london, she joins us now from london. thank you for your time. obviously very difficult to get inside potions, hey, to me. how do you do that? but i wanna ask you, what influence do you think prudence in

a circle has on him and his decision making? hello. oh, tobacco is in a circle. we are all trying to simply guess based on the public information that's available. so there are many questions that arise. first of all, who in his inner circle has a much greater access to put in who could be his confidant? who is his main consultant? we don't really know, but based on how the things are there in the inner circle, we can assume that wooten is doing his best to balance between his though the federal security bureau, cheaper ethnic of, and the chief of army staff, our get us him of his ministry of defense said geisha to so he has to balance between all these people and not give the impression that he is more supportive of one as opposed to others. so. so, so maintaining that balance is very important. and secondly, even each and each person in

a who is very close to him in the security service has also concerns about us of keeping their own position secure. so how do the balance between giving us some kind of independent exploit advised to put in and if he had, if they see that they have genuine concerns and they want to stop put in from going further than how do they actually convey it to put in so one person trying to even take up considering that bold step might result in or the person contradicting him in order to pause to his position. so there's lot of juggling we expect to go on within the inner circle and put in must be spending tremendous energy trying to keep it as a cohesive unit. so, but as i said and show you who is the defense minister, but he's not really a military person, get us some of the key for security of the armed forces. he is also the 1st deputy defense ministers. i believe that he is somebody who is,

are probably a much closer to put in, but this is just kind of guesswork on my choice or whatever know about his family where ave be or no, and actually his family doesn't really matter. he has got 2 daughters and been a children from, from his, the other kind of relationships. it was all documented in the video, the documentary that alex in the one me and his theme put up for which noun, divani is serving the jail sentence. so i'm sure that booth is concerned, they are probably hiding in some bunker and someplace and the families more of a financial unit rather than some kind of an emotional unit. okay, just coming back to the inner circle, then just to wrap up, kind of what you said are there are these? yes men is there anyone there who is going to be challenging? president putin based on the biographies of all these people and how number of

them come from the hooton's days in st. petersburg. it's very unlikely that any one of them could challenge booked in, but yes, they would have different perspective on the situation. and once they see, put in as in a much beacon position with russia considerably weakened as a result of sanctions and isolation. and probably not the kind of support that russia expects from china that is likely to be a descent brewing within his inner circle. and that is likely to come out, but otherwise that is nobody who on any ethical or even pragmatic grounds is probably likely to speak up put in. so in other words, they are likely to speak up only when they see that button is either simply unable to or has lost a sense of reality and has become ex, exceedingly desperate and doesn't even listen to them. and when they see put in as simply becoming much, much weaker,

and then they would try to save that on their own position that on skin. all right, i thank you very much for house, is there above now? are there are from the politics of central asia school? it's o. s. university of under the russian billionaire roman abram of a private rather has confirmed that he'll sell english football club. chelsea after 19 years of ownership is also promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of ukraine's war from a rich who is reported to have links with vitamin putin has not been named on the u . k. sanctions list. but his concerns about a potential seizure of asset is understood to have sparked his move to sell. chelsea a banker joins us now from stanford bridge stadium in london need talk more about this decision wasn't entirely motivated by charity will look. i mean, let me put roman abramoff it she in context because his name has been synonymous with chelsea synonymous with british english football. for

a very long time since he took over control of the club in 2000 and three's a man that made billions in russia in the a topsy turvy collapse of the soviet union, the buying and selling of state assets. he was linked to everything from airflow to russia's national bank, but he's a man also seen by fans in here a chelsea to genuinely sharon enthusiasm for the club. he was regularly seen in the stands and according to a statement released on the weekend, he said he came to a painful decision initially to hand over care and stewardship of the club to trustees of chelsea football club before now announcing the sale of the club, we know that at least one wealthy swiss billionaire has his eye on the prize is expected to reach somewhere between 3 and a half to full $1000000000.00. we also know now that the above inch is not a caching in alone, that he makes the club when a board say to loan around $2000000000.00. if he'd ask for that he could have

potentially of really deeply financially. i've heard said chelsea going forward, but this all of this clearly as a result of where the actions in, in a ukraine, a direct result of what's happening in the decisions made by the kremlin. he's a man who says that he has no direct links with the vladimir putin, despite being very much a putin era ali gog. but also the reports now that other assets that he has in the u. k, which took about several properties worth millions of millions of dollars also now up for sale as well. the question is whether he is scrambling to exit the country a country that he was fond of and hope to gain residency in that though clearly not happening. so i'm of it is not being sanctioned specifically, although as you say, looks like he's preparing to do something, but other oligarchy are being targeted specifically then larger assets. yeah, that's right. i'm going specifically to abram overture and also

a number of other oligarchs, the have a significant financial interest in the u. k. there is a real concern about how the british authorities are able to act. it seems as if their hands a somewhat tied they are being asked to provide beyond reasonable grounds that so these individuals actually do have direct links to vladimir putin. hence, it could take many weeks, potentially many months before these british sanctions bite. of course, there are sanctions elsewhere in the european union and also the united states as well. we are hearing also about at least 5 super yachts that are now currently in the moldings. an area of the world that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the united states fears that these crucial weeks. a months of hesitation by the british authorities and others could lead to millions, potentially billions of dollars worth of assets controlled by these oligarchs,

essentially, fleeing to safer countries moving their money around so that it's out of the hands of the british authorities, e, your authorities and american authorities very lossy, at least warn ali, got michel freedman who has a multi 1000000000 dollar house in north london. he is legally contesting the e u. sanctions that of course, could take many weeks a month. so in terms of a quick, sharp shock, pain of, aside for these oligarchs, that isn't likely to be the case for many of them. i need barker there for us in london. thank you. i was here tech now of the weather has ever seen. hello, please to say we have now got a final warning for what was tropical cipher and i kept making its way across northern parts of western australia. further south, we got a cold front that's going to bring some wet weather down across south australia. it was at southeast corner, you go on through the weekend. ahead of us, we still got this area of cloud that brought some very heavy rainfall into that eastern side of australia. sidney has been braced over the last couple of days for

some torrential downpours. right across the sidney basin, one or 2 spots, seeing as much as $200.00 millimeters of freight in the space of 24 hours. some 6 hourly tote was over the next day or so could well be as high as 6200 millimeters afraid on to saturated ground that will lead to flash flooding. river rain flooding and on top of that some very strong winds coming in as well, approaching 90 kilometers per hour in places. is that where the weather still lurking there across eastern parts of australia is a cold front that will sweep in across victoria melbourne. 31 celsius on friday, near a 22 degrees as we go on into sas day. and that will bring yet more heavy rain into that southeast corner of australia. so that where to weather that will be in place as we go through saturday and sunday. further flooding coming through here with the rain heading for new zealand. so come here on al jazeera, the price of oil, so was $120.00 a barrel. crash grows to tighten sanctions against russia and install the formula

describes. it's 15 hours of bombardment by russian forces who are surrounding the eastern port. city officials say water has been cut off and food is running out in northern ukraine firefighters are trying to put out a large fire and oil dip hit by rushes. shelly, there are reports that doesn't have a kilten chair and he's our western sanctions haven't stopped the flow of energy from russia to europe. yet. russia is a commodities power house that produces more than 10 percent of the world's oil and natural gas with europe reliant on it. for 3rd of it's gas, but sanctioning this sector would send energy prices surging even higher effecting an already fragile world economy. would also mean more profit for russia. the u. s . and its allies have agreed to release 60000000 barrels of oil reserves to help offset any shortage. although the world consumes 100000000 barrels every day. all right, it's bringing nikolai caught her whole fee is research associate professor at katara

university. you joins us now via skype. from here though, how thank you for joining us. all we seem to have a we technical difficulty there. no, you back. hi, i'm sorry nikolai, as i was saying, so if the u. e. u is so bent on cutting off rushes cash flow for this war. why is it not used sanctions to specifically target russian oil and gas? i think we seem to have lost nickel. i my apologies there, we will try to bring him back if we can. i nikolai, cause her noth or either smoothing on us president joe biden is not to speak with his indian japanese and australian counterparts and find out why with alan fisher. the joins us from the white house. alan said, what is this call all about? my apologies, we seem to have lost alan as well. it's very rare that happens to in

a row will continue on ukraine. ukraine's emergency service has reported hundreds of civilian deaths from the conflicts. many structures including hospitals have also been destroyed. amongst some patients have be moved to safe areas 1st, be concerned for the safety of terminally ill children. charles traffic has morph now from val live current in east and ukraine. anastasio brought her son to this hospital in the city of zapper asia 2 weeks ago. 5 year old will all the me i was suffering eternal bleeding. and in the critical condition, he is recovering well, that has been heavy shelling in the town where they live. they call get back because the russian army advance is a jason though, of course and war it. i have 3 other children at home. there has been shell. hm. and they're hiding in the basement,

newborn babies in incubators lined the corridor. doctors have moved them here to shield him if his russian army shelling to position your marks from one of the hughes, this area is protected from shrapnel. if there was a blast, so we put the babies here is deep inside the building between 2 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. if the shelling starts there, they all held their amazon diseases, their incurable. so we have to leave them them here in case of fair air alara's. because they dependent, they are dependent on oxygen. they are dependent on there is a sedation agreement and we cannot transport everything necessary for them. they're

outside volunteers are filling sandbags to strengthen doorways and protect the windows. the shelves explode nearby to leave the hospital, navigating walls of tank traps being set up across the city. to stop a russian advance, we had 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 barrels of grabbed 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 to 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 stafford al jazeera,

near vasily, fca, eastern ukraine. why we can go back now to nikolai, calls her all. he is a research associate professor called our university and joins us live scott, from doha. there is good to see you now. we're talking oil and gas supply price and possible sanctions with the war in ukraine. i want to start by asking you if the e u is so bent on cutting off rushes cash flow for this war. why is it not you sanctions to specifically target russian oil and gas? well, it will be quite difficult to do in the current conditions. so on the one hand object speaking of areas, there are no spare capacities that could replace russian oil immediately. and given the overall instability or the market, this will, it was the price is up, which will backfire more at the consumers and other oil producers. on the other hand, we need to acknowledge that right now we have a very unique situation where it's not sanctioned by the expectation of

implementation is putting a substantial pressure on rushing oil in the trap. so it's not completely out of the market, but that doesn't mean it makes it much more complicated for the russians still get the profit from higher oil prices and also making it difficult for them to sell their oil right now up to 70 percent. but they are oil expert could be considered as friend, that the frozen i can see that the german economy minister just in the past a half hour said the country working on making itself independent of rush and gas as fast as possible. i mean, how realistic is that? how fast can that be done? well, technically speaking, if right now, europe and germany as well, we'll back humanly thing. the guests are reserved for the next winter. next, we can be spent without much of the departments on russia. but because of the

risk cation, that mulder cation from brush and natural gas supplies will buffer that takes time . so some people are saying about 5 years, some people are thinking about 3 years. and it also depends on what kind of strategy or germany is go into to adult. so whether germany is going to the development of the l n g reconciliation unit, it will be one story. if germany decides to step back down from the deal green on sustainable energy and returns back to the us. so for instance, school bell might help you become more independent from russia and supplies. also, i thank you for that. cause of research associate professor at cost our university . i'm going to head over to hold a bell to meet who is live for us from the outskirts i believe of denise pro in ukraine. honda well yes i am actually in

a school which has been set up now to um to, to, to host all these people fleeing not only car keith, but also from the south from are you polo even from the dumbass region that there are a lot of people here, they all disappeared once the camera showed up with all our gear children and they just actually locked the door. did a lot of children in there, they come from all of these areas i told you about. now i spoke to many people, asked them what happened to them and those who are fleeing car key, for example, told me how they spend days and days in the shelter with no food, with no into cold or with not a been able to go at any point out to get some food from dish supermarket. i spoke to this young girl. she's 7 months pregnant. she was stuck in a basement, but she called the shelter. it was basically the basement of her building and she just managed to get out yesterday. and you can imagine all the worries she had

being 7 months pregnant now. she's here, she doesn't know where she's going to give birth. the maternity ward and cloudy, where she was supposed to give birth is now destroyed. her house is destroyed. so she doesn't know where she's going next. then i spoke to some people who left the dumbass region, villanova, that's one area that actually where there has been a lot of shelling in both direction. and for the past few days, the people who fled there said they don't know if they will ever returned. because according to d, separate is according to president vladimir putin. well, that area where they live is supposed to be included in these 2 new self proclaimed republics. they don't want to return there, they said they were ukrainians, and they wanted to be part of ukraine. so now this school at the moment is about 50 to 60 people here, but they're expecting a lot more to show up simply because there are tens of hon. tens of hundreds on the

road, trying to flee. and how to keep to disney bro, as a 1st of these, from what we understand traffic jam, it takes hours, it should take 3 hours. it takes maybe the double, if not the triple of time to reach her dinny pro, becoming really the 1st off for then to maybe make plans to go further west in the country. won't just looking for safety or i think that ha, that the ultimate law for us and denise from or i will take you back now to alan fisher to discuss with you as present jo biden's discussion with his indian japanese and australian count aponce alan. so what is this all about? this is part of the chord that meeting going to take place at the top of the hour, from the situation room here in the white house. now the united states, no, as it has the support of japan and australia, they both voted with the un resolution to condemn russia's attack on ukraine. but

india abstained in. so we can expect india to come under pressure to join the rest of the international community in condemning russia for what they are doing in ukraine. we know that prime minister moody spoke to sarah guy, elaborate off on, on wednesday i, he talked about the trying to get indian students out of ukraine. the russians claimed that there was indian students were being held hostage by the ukrainians. that is not supported by what the indians are seeing, but clearly prime minister moody will come under pressure to take stronger action against a country that has been a big supporter, a big ally and a big on supplier for india over the last year or so. joe biden and his administration will also be talking to people on capitol hill to try and get more money for ukraine. initially, they were looking at 6700000000. that figure has no gone up to 10000000000. they want to provide humanitarian assistance. they want to make sure that the infrastructure in ukraine is protected, and of course, they want to provide additional money for neighboring allies,

not least because we're hearing that up to $4000000.00 refugees could be crossing the border in the next few days. is it likely to go through? well, talk of additional help for ukraine has been stuck on capitol hill. that is because republicans say that the democrats won't take money from existing pentagon funds. the democrats say that's not true. this is all fresh money. so that has got to be stuff sorted out as well, but you can see just from this meeting with the court, joe biden is still working to have an inter, couldn't international coalition against the russians. and he wants everyone to speak out and speak out forcefully. even if you have been a former ally of leather me a potent and the russians. alan center therefore, is the white house. thank you. the u. s. is accusing russia of muslim the media not to the editor in chief of its only independent tv news channel left the country and a leading liberal russian radio station echo of moscow has also been taken off air

. if i was a warning to media outlets to stop broadcasting, what regulate his call, false information about the war from moscow. ben, it's matt reports on how the conflict is being covered by adding b. o. t. v rein has always had to choose its words carefully. it's the only news channel in 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 t 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 or war, but for the moscow prosecutor's office tv. rain isn't trying hard enough. it's 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,

to con, left russia with his family tv rains website is blocked. all that's left. is this stream on youtube to them as thickness? what kit is on this be a separate say, ok. state tv refers to a special operation, zoning, ukraine. the coverage is concentrated on what's happening in the battles for the nets and lou gantski now recognized as republics by moscow. if not, there's no mention full of attacks on key of other ukrainian cities. australia inner anatole you have now is one of the 64 percent of russians for whom television is their primary source of news by me at the yard slid a bomb. as i heard, it's just the opposite. they try to somehow protect the peaceful population as much as possible. i can't say i'd supported this from the beginning, but now i do support it as off of the kremlin and the cremins foreign channels don't refer to an invasion. russia will continue, though, with its military incursion. in arabic, the headline reads russia's military operation to protect don bass and in french,

russia will continue it's offensive in ukraine. that code of 14 we saw all you can't rush us. communications regulator has accused tan outlets of falsely depicting what it calls the military operation. in ukraine, one of them's the novia gazette, and it's headlines as well. at least there's some good news. the word piece hasn't been forbidden yet. glenda smith, i'll just sarah moscow. still ahead on al jazeera him sports paralympic organizes make a sudden you tug just a day before the opening ceremony. details coming up. ah ah,

al jazeera, with instruction. ah ah, for 40 years har kim. thank you so much. russian and bel, russian athletes have now been banned from the winter paralympics event organizers . sad protest by athletes from other countries had forced them into a you turn. the international paralympic committee announced the band less than 24 hours after saying it would allow russian and bell russian athletes to compete as

neutral. i p. c, president to andrew parson said the reaction to that decision is made the situation in the athletes village untenable. the experience here, she'll be a positive one and that was not after you announced a decision yesterday, that was not being the case at the village and to these morning went off the door waking up to the news. there was a reaction, showed us that if we didn't not take action, the situation could get worse. that we've been speaking to the executive director of the world players association, brandon schwab. he says the sanctions were needed to show that sport is doing the right thing. it's important that the sanctions are targeted at the source of the problem and that is the russian state. now clearly the russian state has a date control over the russian olympic committee. and to that extent, the paralympic committee, now there's no doubt the sanctions on the committees will involve an exclusion of

the athletes from the guy. but disappointingly, is that my day it is a small price to pay for sport to be seen, to be doing the right thing. and that is imposing, targeted, and powerful sporting sanctions. we did say, of course in relation to sports responds to the problem of apartheid in south africa that south african athletes were excluded as a consequence of sporting sanctions. now sporting sanctions may not have been decisive, of course, in health training around the situation in apartheid south africa. but they were important and it's now essential that sanctions on the part of the sports movement, client important role in it. they may not yet be decisive in bringing about p. c. b, you crime. chelsea is russian owner, roman abramoff edge has put the primarily club up for sale. thing proceeds from any

deal will be donated to war victims and ukraine. roches invasion of the country has complicated the billionaires ownership of the team. so how malick reports despite booking a spot in the if they come to final there was a some book on the faces of chelsea players on wednesday night that because behind the scene the blues are facing that most uncertain period in recent history before they match. chelsea oh no rush and billionaire roman abram, of which announced he plans to sell the club. the 55 year old ownership has become complicated by russia, the invasion of ukraine, some of called for him to face sanctions. abram of which has already given stewardship and care of chelsea to club trustees. very sad day for us is taking the 2nd the club so far and the club was done so much, you know,

under is what. so you know what it is, what is what it is and this place we have to carry on and, and be professional. ha chelsea had become one of the giants of club football since abram, which took over in 2003. since then they've won 5 premier league title 5, f a cup and the champions league twice. they were also recently crowned world club champion. once the car be sold, keeping up, the standard won't be easy, but they will need money spent on them because money has been put in by from each over the course of 20 years. that they're running last year. and that's being covered by rich and a new new i will have to be prepared to inject new money into the club potential buyers of already begun to surface swiss billionaire hands yorg. this says he's been approached to purchase the london team. there's even been interest from the

world biggest emma may star corner mcgregor or whoever takes over there in the deep pockets, with a brown ditch looking for more than full $1000000000.00. chelsea frowns will be hoping the situation can be resolved soon, and the new owner will continue to help the team win trophies. so hell malik al jazeera. well, joining us now is dan plumley, senior lecture in sport finance at sheffield hallam university. thank you so much for joining us. how transformative has a brother that has ownership been to english and even european football? yes, he has a, he was the 1st big foreign owner that we saw in english football back in 2003. that led the way for a spade to further investments from america. we looked to the glaze that take over at manchester, united in 2005. i'm american investment at austin. i'm in liverpool and then of

course the manchester city take over and and beyond. so you know, roman of roman, it really so have the wafer or an ownership in english football and, and it has been transformative over the last few years. all beer, those owners have lots of different motives and, and different investment methods. but you know, he was, he was the catalyst for that back in 2003 is chow for a viable business venture, or simply a billionaires toys you thank i think it depends. it could be both. and i think that depends on, on the previous point, i mentioned there around own motives and, and how they choose to invest in what they want out of it. so, you know, we seen very different model with some of the american owners and looking at more of a investment vehicle and, and profit maximization. but it wasn't there. bromley, the model, it was very much, you know, up money that you can see he doesn't want and the one and a half 1000000000 pounds,

the ease ease loaned the club. he doesn't wanna back and that was very much the perception of, of chelsea as a trophy asset for abramivitch. so these big clubs, if we're talking valuations and you look at new investors, you going to need something in the region of between $2.00 to $4000000000.00 to buy a big sept english football club. and then that depends on who that is and, and the motives behind it. okay. or what sort of people do you think are going to be attracted to purchasing chelsea? yeah, i think what we seen probably accelerates at during that the covey pandemic as well is, is arising kind of private equity investment in professional teams for most notably and football. and also these big console teams that we see. the example here with that potential swiss are by our it's not just one person, it's a consortium and there are very few people in the world that can, you know, afford these football clubs outright as an individual. so i think you'd be looking towards consortiums and, and various maybe, you know,

private equity hedge funds are investors that they're now looking at english, football, cookson, and football clubs in general across europe. very interesting to get your thoughts down pammy. thank you so much for your time. thank you. liverpool and book this spot in the africa quarter finals with a win over northridge. japanese forward to to me min amino scored a 1st half double lead liverpool to a to one. when the reads have already won, the lead caught the season and they are still in contention. when the premier league and champions league title one races will no longer be held in russia for it has terminated its contract with a country that was grown pre had already been cancelled. there was a deal in place to move the race to saint petersburg from 2023 for 3 years. that agreement has now been ended. latimer played a central role in establishing the event in $2141.00 world champion mattress sap

and has signed a 5 year contract expansion with red bull. the new deal will keep the 24 year old with the austrian team until 2028 for stop and beat lewis hamilton's when his 1st world championship last year, the dutch driver will open his title defense and barring on march 20th and tiger woods is $18000000.00 in prize money without even having to play a chart, a former well number $1.00 goal for is the 1st winner of the pga tour player impact program. prize. money is awarded to the player who generates the most media interest on the circuit. even though the 46 year old only played one competitive tournaments in 2021, he beat out the likes of phil mickelson worry mcelroy dustin johnson declaim 1st price. okay, and that is all your support for now? back to you. kim. thank you very much for that far. well, that is the news. our don't go away though. i'll be back in just
