hello, i'm on the inside watching out there as extensive coverage of the russia ukraine all fighting is going on in a ukrainian city that's home to europe's biggest nuclear power plants. russian president vladimir putin praises his soldiers. brushing aside reports that policy at the military campaign half stalled, are interested in maintaining the strongest unifying economic impact campaign. and all history and the u. s. hits more of pigeons in a circle. and while the allies with asset freezes and other sections, russia and ukraine have made their 1st hints of progress in talks, agreeing on the need for humanitarian corridors. there's no indication of when they be established to help civilians escape the war. and even as the negotiators maps

russian forces continue to surround and bombard cities and towns like this one, just outside the capital cave, thousands of thought have been killed or wounded since russia invaded just over a week ago. more than a 1000000 people have become refugees. a spring up the map, we can see the areas in red, which are controlled now by russia and allied separatists fighters rushes made some particular advances in the south of the country time to try to capture strategically significant port cities elsewhere has been fighting in the town of an, a godaddy where europe's largest nuclear power plant is located. and these pictures taken from the nuclear facility appeared to show how close the fighting is. the local mayor says a column of russian troops and tanks have moved in russia had already captured the defunct chernobyl plant. from live in western ukraine. china haul takes us through the rest of the days, talk developments,

major ukrainians. cities are surrounded and under constant attack. this is chill neve, a city of textile factories, churches and monasteries, its greatest misfortune to lie on the root of rushes advance from the north. eastern city of han keith to people wake daily to seems of terrible destruction and a fast rising civilian death. toll look what couldn't is do you. this is one crime need to again, the real in the car here. this city of one and a half 1000000 people, most ethnic russians is being torn apart by russian forces for no reason. other than that, it exists just across the border from russia. in ukraine. once again,

i saw you and in the far south ukraine's biggest port odessa, he's under threat to hear frantic efforts have been underway for days to build defences against a possible beach landing multiple vessels belonging to russia's black sea fleet. hover on the horizon, including lending ships and support craft, were ukraine's military is very much still in this fight, reinforced by supplies of weapons from abroad. they've been able to apply real pressure to the russian advance, slowing the progress of a vast column of artillery and soldiers heading for the capital cave. along its route, once sleepy commuter towns lie in ruins, a foretaste of what may be in store for cave. the apparent aim to encircled the city and besieged it from his bunker under heavy guard, president followed me at zelinski wages, a relentless communications campaign,

rallying resistance, and calling in foreign support. yeah, please press it never use, but we have been seen this for a long time. that ukraine is seeking for protections for our home soil and our own people. best protections have not been provided. european countries assist us with the wage of migration. however, we should discuss the guarantees that are required to protect our country, our home soil, and our people. a 2nd round of talks on thursday between russia and ukraine at a location on the border with bell roof came with low expectations of a breakthrough, but a slim glimmer of hope that they're taking place at all. the ukranian government, meanwhile, has called for humanitarian corridors to be set up. and here in the western city of the leave, volunteers are hard at work processing a donations medicines, clothes,

food, and other essentials for distribution across the country. there is a humanitarian crisis erupting on multiple fronts, not just the internally displaced, who've left everything behind in a scramble for safety across the country's borders as more than a 1000000 have done since the invasion began, but also huge populations in urban centers trap. terrified and desperate for health . civilian morale will vary now in a population increasingly terrorized. there'll be desperation in some places, determination, in others, o, a spontaneous rendition of the national anthem at that age station in vive. it is becoming ever clearer that the struggle is not just for personal survival, but for the survival of the nation as a whole. joe,

the whole al jazeera movies skate more now on the crane. russia talk, switch edge, the 2 sides closer to establishing safe corridors for civilians to escape is what negotiate is said for room to room when you will shoot it here because of, of them a couple of issue. unfortunately, we haven't reached the results. we had expected, the only thing i can say is we have thoroughly discussed humanitarian aspects because many cities are now encircled the situation with food medicine and with the possibility for evacuation. we have also agreed to continue talks in a 3rd round at the earliest possible time, which i see is new with all this nature zoom. when the main issue we have a dresser is saving people. lot civilians who have been in the zone of military clashes. therefore, the parties representatives of the ministry of defense of the russian federation and the ministry of defense of ukraine agreed on the format of the regime for maintaining humanitarian corridors for the exit of the civilian population. what a possible temporary cessation of hostilities in the sector of the humanitarian

corridor, for the period of the exit of the civilian population. i think the significance of progress. let's get more on these corridors. john have served as a us ambassador to ukraine. he's now senior direct at the atlantic councils eurasia center. he choice me now from fairfax, virginia. thank you for your time, sir. how, how is it the booth humanitarian corridor was, will work? do you think? well, the way the traditionally work is, is an understanding between the armed warring parties that a certain area will not be subject to our military operations. and then you know, you send your humanitarian convoy or whatever it is through those or is that often works will not always. and how long does it take to set up? and presumably someone neutral is going out to be in charge of them. who will that be? all the parties themselves will determine um, how and what are set up, as well as who would be, who might be a serve as a, as

a neutral orator. but you don't always need to have a 3rd party, macy's since work and has been in this case, you'd been looking for the oversee to be involved. okay. and, and how long do they normally take to set up? i mean it could this be days, weeks, it could be, it could be in one day, 2 days if, if the will is there. and basically i was interested, sorry cuz i will carry on ours to see if the will is there to make it happen. it's interesting that even as moscow is dictating, unconditional surrender terms to the conflict, they're willing to consider this. i think that may be because of the pounding they're receiving on globally for their barbers campaign. and based on the current fighting, where do you think these corridors are likely to be well the, the easy will, these is they would be to a corridor from the board to leaf. oh,

i don't know if the russians are willing to allow plains to fly in, for example, to keep what other cities. oh, but they may say that these are details to be worked out. and traditionally, i mean, is this just to get people away from fighting or is it to get supplies? what sort of supplies are we talking about? i know the w h o is talked about the need to deliver oxygen. well, oxygen medical supplies and perhaps even through the water, some cases, basic things to keep people alive. are you surprised that eh, this, this concept, that humanitarian corridors has actually come to, to be agreed in these talks? does it bode well for larger sci fi? well, i think this is a positive side, whether it augers for a o. c's far truce as far as a whole. different question. i don't think i, they put in a still determined to have a dick todd piece,

a dictated piece to you crying, which means a diminution of not removal of all ukrainian sovereign. those are the charms, it rush offered in the 1st round and it seemed like they had with the terms for the general ceasefire in this round, the 2nd round as well. okay, thank you for your time and your analysis. john. her who served as us in bassetti ukraine now senior direct at the atlantic councils eurasia center. in moscow, president vladimir peyton hailed russian soldiers as he raised in a televised address. he will say move to dismiss some western military assessments that parts of the offensive had slowed or stalled was unity, which, which was good to speed. dear comrades, i want to say that the special military operation is preceding strictly in line with a time table according to plan. see all the tasks that have been set or been successfully resolved. she's done yet because we feel its way all used in if i will never give

up my conviction that russians and ukrainians are one people's mother. even though some people in ukraine have been intimidated. many have been duped by nazi a nationalist propaganda. but some have deliberately gone the way of the nationalists and other nazi henchmen, the pennies for moscow door search bar a tells us what else. payton announced. this was another emergency session with a his security council which is made up of high levels of ministers and officials that he trusts. and he said that basically that the military operation in ukraine was going according to plan and that they were achieving alder objectives. he also announced for the 1st time that there would be financial compensation to the families of the soldiers that have died in the line of duty and also those that have been injured. we understand that the from the defense ministry for the 1st sunday announced some numbers about the number of fatalities and a injured of russian troops in ukraine. according to the russian defense ministry,

about 500 soldiers have died and about 1600 are injured. those are their numbers, of course, the ukrainian officials have very different figures is saying that a nearly 5000 russian soldiers have been killed. the president said that he was really grateful for the service of the military personnel and they were fighting for a cause and 2 to protect their country. now he also spoke with the french president, among whom across just a short while ago. the call was apparently at the request of the russian president, and it lasted 90 minutes during which the 2 men discussed the ongoing situation in ukraine and the l. e. z palace released the statement saying that the french president was very concerned and he believed that things are going to get much worse. won't coverage of the conflict coming out. we hear from people caught up and fighting in and around ukraine, 2nd biggest that he ca came on full, but top diplomats from russia and ukraine. tell al jazeera how they see the

conflict playing out. ah hello the weather sloss. he sat very warm, sunshine across the central and southern parts of the us at the moment of the north . there is a fair amount of cloud. and to the north of that, we have some cold air in place, cold enough for some snow just around the prairies, sir canadian prairies, and that's no actually stretching its way down across that southwestern quarter of the u. s. you could even see a little bit of a winfrey mix into a california central part. so that's where it's lottie. warm and sunny. 22 celsius there for kansas city. warm southerly wind stocking in 6 celsius chicago. on friday . they were 15 a by saturday. but you notice by saturday is that cold, who asked us to talk his way through it. we'll bring some snow, went to the northern plains, some wet weather for chicago,

how does your select gang blue? ah, you're watching out as a reminder of our top stories this, our russia and ukraine have made their 1st hints of progress in talks, agreeing on the need for humanitarian corridors. there is no indication of when they would be established russian or boardman to be queen in cities, continued asked the talks went on. that's been fighting day one of europe's largest nuclear plants. these pictures were taken from ukraine's supper easier facility. the local may, us as a column of russian troops and tanks has moved in and the russian president has

brushed aside reports, the pulse of the military campaign of stalled. he says everything is going to plan . now the eastern ukrainian city of car cave was one of russia's 1st targets, but despite heavy shelling at its proximity to the russian border, it still remains on the ukrainian control. many of the cities, 1500000 people have fled, told stratford is in the village of yucca lift guard not too far from cock give warning. his report contains graphic images. maxine was at home with his girlfriend when the shells started crashing into his village, shrapnel ripped through his arm and face no yoke. it happened so quickly the explosions, i heard something flying over us. i was covered up to my waist and rubble and something started burning. i tried to free myself. then i tried to get my girlfriend. i was so weak. i couldn't pull her out. emergency services rescued,

maxine's girlfriend. she's suffering heavy concussion and is too weak to talk. the bodies of 3 civilians lie in the morgue. a woman died in the operating theatre as doctors tried to save her life. this woman who was afraid to talk on camera, says russian soldiers let her family escape, but as they drove away a bullet ripped through her husband's hand, oh, well, why did they tell us everything would be okay. why wasn't there an evacuation? she says, we drive to the village is the sound of shelling and machine gun fire in the distance. the shelves of slammed into houses on the side of this hill, piles of rubble lined the street. at least 30 homes were destroyed. heavy rushing, shelling of this village last night, at least 3 people were killed. a number of others injured. we understand that there are people still in the village. or we've just heard shilling in the distance and

machine gun far in the forest on the way. thousands of cars, many of them filled with terrified families. fleece south from clark give many of the cause of a sign, reading children on the windscreen. desperate attempts to protect those inside with we are leaving everything behind us. we have been trying for 5 days to get out, but couldn't because of the challenge when it simply hell we are going to new pro. and after that, we don't know. lexi shows us his car that was damaged when a russian rocket landed close to his home. michael had just spoken to friends in khaki. if they tell me it's worse than yesterday, they are shelling civil in areas so many buildings are on fire for the for people who painted over road signs with angry insults directed towards russian president vladimir putin. in expectation of a russian army advance. this one reads welcome to hell,

charles drive an al jazeera, yackel live co ukraine on the u. s. as adding more names to its russia sanctions last, mainly from vladimir patients in a circle. and while the allies people u. s. president j biden referred, say, as cronies. today managing that, we're adding dozens of national news to include one of these boomers and travel to america for more than 50 russian oligarchy. families ever close. a scheduled white house correspond kimmy holcombe kennedy. so more names on the sanctions list. what exactly does that mean? well, what it means is that the biden administration is tightening the screws or putting on more pressure in conjunction with allies in europe in order to try and get the russian government,

namely vladimir putin to de escalate or stop this russian invasion of ukraine. so this is the latest in the series of sanctions that have been put on russia in just the last week. and this targets a lot of the closest associates of vladimir putin, himself, the oligarchy who the white house says are essentially funding this invasion. it is his spokes person, it is ty coons in his industry or business people, and it is their families. it is their wives. what is happening is that any of their property inside the united states, luxury yachts, their penthouses, their property, the money they have in the banks here, all of it's be frozen, or it's being seized. and so this is going to have a major effect, not just on these individuals, but also on the of the ability of latimer putin to continue operating and conducting this war inside of ukraine. the u. s. is also announced extra

protection for ukrainians who currently are in the u. s. what does that involve yet? well, there are tens of thousands of ukrainians inside the united states right now that as a result of this conflict are suddenly in limbo. many of them wanted to return and are unable to do so, and they in many cases are also unable to work. so that leaves them without the ability to raise the money necessary to support themselves. so given their unique situation, the department of homeland security has essentially allowed them to have temporary work permits that could allow them to for a period of up to 18 months, live and work inside the united states. it is temporary, but what it does is it grabs them deportation relief as it's called. and it does apply again to tens of thousands of ukrainians. this is really giving them

a lifeline because many of them came over here to see family members or even on a vacation at this conflict started and suddenly they were trapped and unable to get home. ok, thank you for that white house correspondent kennedy. ok. it earlier we spoke to, to former diplomat so ukrainian on a russian about the war. pavlo kim king was young, ukraine's foreign minister says, suffering is increasing exponentially. the russian son i would try injuring circle our big cities dearly medieval way to examine our real blockade. and to guide them all from everything, from any sort of logistics and many people suffering because for lack of heat because of lack of food. so it's a fundamental challenge for millions of ukrainians and so called by the russian.

so it least humanitarian corridor and the science for lead to people out is critically important. but if you talk to your gradients and they means your all your grade nance more than 9 from 10 ukrainians fully committed to friday for, for our lent you said fund a mentally made in the fight in spirit. so the spirit reaches, reaches the national one, understanding that it's about our existence. so we need to let people out, you know, that to prevent humanitarian. dest are a few buttons the same time ukrainians, fully committed to our fight. and we asked onto a federal, a form of russian deputy foreign minister if his country can maintain the war for

certain b. yes, it can stand but off it will be a more much more difficult with every day because 1st of all, now there is a heavy strike against national financial system. and of course, this crisis in financial system will influence on other parts of economy. both an industry, etc, etc. so for example, today one of our key out all of our factors stop producing cars because the absence of spare parts and chips i see from russian side of the stage. no, no chances to stop mystery operation as a thief because the demands from rational side on the talks are unacceptable for your brain. and it's very hard to agree and really hard to find common language. on this political mornings made. i think that it was possible to play with the war.

it was possible to agree on certain points, not on all. but the problem is there are the whole situation off relations between the rush and the west. it's damaged this diplomacy and also the crisis among between russia and united states also was very negative. and it's not just humans under threats or set animals stuff. i think kids do have found themselves with a unique challenge as the director at his colleague and their families have lived on site since the invasion began. a la carte to the $4000.00 animals and hide in a sheltered night, hoping at the z will be saved. let's take a look now at some of the other world news making headlines in the u. s. a former kentucky police officer involved in

a butch drug grade that resulted in the death of brianna taylor has been cleared of the charge of endangering her neighbors. some of the bullets fired by brett hankinson, inside taylor's apartment in 2020, went into a neighboring flat. a 26 year old black woman and her boyfriend was sleeping when police arrived at that door. taylor's boyfriend, find it place, thinking there were burglars. the police shot back killing taina. thousands of indians, students and canada have been left stranded by the sudden closure of 3 colleges of the latest high learning institutions in quebec province to be investigated for the admission practices. sending students abroad is big business in india, especially in punjab. as our indian correspondent elizabeth per annum reports of need morty and her parents tried to figure out how to recover the nearly $12000.00 they've lost and tertiary education fees in canada. the college of neath was supposed to go to montreal's is one of 3 which declared bankruptcy this month

and closed. i'm in a big mess right now because it was my father's money. he own the lord. been so hard book. i know i'm like, i have this doodle like money because i for my father that i won't go abroad and won't study or leave freedom. lee independent, 23 year old of nice and others like in cities, 12 punjab, have been protesting and appealing to the indian government to help them get a refund. the government to back problems is investigating the admission practices of the 3 colleges which shut down another 10 colleges suspended last year, while investigators checked whether they were missing international students who didn't meet english language requirements. and also squeezing the mandatory 20 study hours a week into $2.00 to $3.00 days so that students could find a job for the rest of the week. sending students abroad is big business in india with agents taking hefty commissions from students feats. more than 500000 indian

students travel abroad for their tertiary studies every year. but researchers say less than a 3rd are admitted to established universities. the others goes to what are considered substandard colleges in their attempts to get citizenship, or they deceived by people posing as education agents. odyssey re requested an interview with agency, but they refused. so you don't need a needed police in the city of potty either told al jazeera that the desire to go overseas makes many for, for false promises, rather than doing their own research and verify the credentials of the agents on the educational institutes that are claiming that they'll get you employment, or they'll get to an mission in the college and universities abroad, but immigration, and education consultants who are accredited by foreign governments. so the problem is that anyone is allowed to start a study abroad agency in india. lessons having

a license doesn't mean that this person is qualified and license only means your premises have been identified as having an office. there is no checking of qualification by the government to see if someone is capable of doing the work valve it and many others calling on the indian government to regulate the massive industry. while of nathan thousands like her try to get their family's life savings back. elizabeth per item al jazeera, battiata and job. ah, this is out there. are these your top stories? russia and ukraine have made the hints of progress and talks agreeing on the need for monitoring corridors. there's no indication of when they would be established. russian bombardment, if ukrainian cities is continued as a talks when tone, when you go you to get to like a ratio. unfortunately, we haven't reached the results we had expected. the only thing i can say is we have

thoroughly discussed humanitarian aspects because many cities are now encircled the situation with food medicine and.
