ah oh i this is al jazeera ah, hello again, i'm adrian for the good. this is that he's alive from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. rush narbey sees, is control of europe's largest nuclear power plant provoking alarm and condemnation from woke western lead us. this is the 1st time that a state has attacked a few old and functioning nuclear power plant. ukraine's capital keys and

surrounding areas come under intense russian attacks from the f. nato foreign ministers dismissed the prospect of a no fly zone over ukraine. the refuse it could expand the war. at a painful farewell. ukrainian fathers separated from families of the border as they returned to fight and in sport, shane moon, one of crickets all time greats has died at the age of 50 to your stallions suffered i suspected heart attack while on holiday ins, highland russian troops have seized europe's largest nuclear power plants in ukraine, ukraine's accused russian forces of shelling the zapora gea facility. while the russian defense ministry says that ukrainian forces staged the entire incident, i'll just say was charl stratford is on the bank of the deep river just across from

the zapora, gea power plant. this is what he saw. ready so the nuclear power plant is around 5 kilometers across the geneva river. what we know is it that it came under heavy shelling last night. we also know that russian forces are in control of the plot now, and that ukrainian workers have been allowed to continue operating it on the russian supervision. the military here are saying that in the last 24 hours or so, there have been a couple of shells fired from the southern side of the geneva river in this direction. we also know that there is ongoing fighting along that southern side of the river, up to the town, at least of basilica. these are becoming new front lines. the situation here on this side of the river, suddenly amongst the communities here has been very calm. people are going about the day to day business as normal, but it was a military operations around what is europe's largest nuclear power plant,

have potentially terrifying implications. russia has been heavily criticized by the international community for its military operations around there. russia itself says that these explosions around the plant were caused by what it described as ukrainian saboteurs, ukrainian provocateurs, ukrainian president is describing russia actions around that plant. as being nothing short of nuclear, tara i'll just here is natasha butler reports now on what was an anxious night and a dangerous conflict. gunfire lit up the sky over europe largest nuclear power plant in inherit in southern ukraine, ukrainian se heavy shilling by russian forces. they saw for huge fire in a building on the site. resist that the old through as a result of strikes, there is a fire. come back to that a, just

a moment back to the un security council where ukraine's ambassador is speaking it, that emergency meeting this listening media reaction by the under secretary general for to the lies by the russian representative. where we are all the customs, accustomed to the lice, who have survived denied that could have stopped the history of ukraine in europe. said the president of ukraine this morning. indeed, every day provides us with a new, a new evidence that it is not only ukraine. honda russian at back, it is europe. it is the entire world. it is humanity. and finally, it is the future of the next generations. russia

seems to be furious that its plans to quickly invade ukraine. have already failed. russia curious that the ukrainian people continues to courageously fight for ease freedom. russia hearers about the world wide salad verity with ukraine. in retaliation, russia has resorted to all crimes and crimes against humanity. russia did not even try to hide them residential area. so the korean cities and villages across the country are being ruined by russian bombs, south and me styles. the saw civilians being killed, critical infrastructure, totally damaged. just yesterday, russian air strikes killed, 47 peaceful residents. of the c d. o sher ne,

have including children. by these, not enough for russia or tara russia, as you may already call it. because yesterday they committed an act of nuclear terrorism. while shelling and seizing the upper east nuclear power plant in the town of america are the lice by the feminine representative of russia are not surprising. he may not being properly informed by his capital. and we saw it on a, on a when many occasions and security council, he had no idea what his capital was. the president was planning to do in the middle of one of the reasons sessions. so i wouldn't really rely on his wards as a result of the selling on the territory of the nuclear power plant. a fire broke out

killing and injuring several people. these upper region b, p site as well as feature noble nuclear power plant are currently under the control of the russian forces employee. so these upper region nuclear power plant are monitoring the condition of poly units and ensuring their operation. he, in accordance with the requirements of the tactical regulations for safe operation, it is alarming that several employees responsible for maintaining nuclear security at the side have reportedly been killed by russian soldiers that has been no rotation of personnel since yesterday morning. the building of unit one main building is damaged. the overpass of the special building is damaged. the telephone line connection is disrupted and not available at the moment. the state of the

power units now is as follows. unit one is in outage. its main building is damaged, the overpass of the special building is damaged. unit 2 and unit 2 and 3 have been disconnected from the grade. and the cool down, all the nuclear installations is being carried out. unit 4 is in operation of 690 megawatts power units. 5 and fixed are being cooled down, stayed nuclear safety inspectors of this state inspector, aid for nuclear regulation or ukraine are not allowed access to these upper easier and b p site changes in the radiation situation and have not been registered data from the automated radiation monitoring system all these upper region d, b does not work. cooling all the nuclear fuel fuel within the appraiser

and t p power units. he's maintained by dedicated systems. so power units in accordance with the requirements of technical regulations for safe operation. heath at any point, the cooling process is disturbed. this could cause ready active damage across large territories and have he repairable consequences for the environment of the entire continent. thousands of people including civilians who are currently unable to evacuate. the area near the plant, due to ongoing selling and fighting, would be a fact that now there lies of the russian ambassador by the foreign students. an appalling

example of god's lighting example of what he probably intended to present is almost an angelic message of peace. but let me remind him and remind all of us that son was also an angel and angel that rebelled against god. so i would like to ask the berman representative of the russian federation if he still is able to communicate with his capital, which is probably not the case. who knows please make an appeal to the armed forces to ensure a safe corridor to allow. 7 the foreign students to leave the areas of concern, stop spreading the lice and

you know it very well, what is going on there if you are indeed in contact with your capital as a result of a nuclear disaster of the scale may exceed if it happen, god forbid, all previous accidents at nuclear power plants, including chernobyl, and the fukushima nuclear power plants disasters. russia has deliberately undertaken and now that they're calling the nuclear power site and action that violated all international agreements. within the i a in particular the i a, a charter, the join convention and the safety of span fuel management. and on the safety of radioactive waste management the conventional nuclear accident warning, and the convention on the protection of nuclear accidents. and the convention on

the protection of nuclear facilities and nuclear material. the shelling called is parisha n p b is also a gross violation of the treaty on the nonproliferation or nuclear weapons and the international convention for the suppression of acts. when you claire terrorism, we are disappointed by the reaction of the i a who statement did not go as far as to include any mention all the packing site. we demand clear and this decisive action from the i a the international community must respond adequately to the actions of the russian federation, which could lead to an unprecedented blue, clear cut, the stuff. all russian forces might be withdrawn from the nuclear power plant. today i have sent a letter to the 2nd to the security council president reminding of the counsel

decisions on no fly zone during previous conflicts. in order to prevent further civilian casualties crept back to the civilian population from attacks, including those who are humanitarian personnel, ensure access of humanitarian assistance and even evaporation. in this regard, we requests, you can see the, the issue of protection of nuclear power plants and other critical infrastructure in ukraine. urgent discussion on establishing a ban when all flies in the earth space. so ukraine should be a top priority for the security council. we would also like to remind that ukraine on the march 30th, 2015, requested the deployment of an international peacekeeping and security operation in

the territory of ukraine. the document ass slash 2015 slash 225. with the exact modalities to be defined in consultations with the ukrainian side. taking into account that russia, the forces could not be a part of the peacekeeping contingent. because at these exactly, the occupation armed forces should be separated to maintain a ceasefire and peace. failure of the security council to act, and especially due to the position of the russian federation. as a party to the conflict would be a historical responsibility of the security council and the entire organization distinguished members of the security council. i ought to ask the under secretary general decarlo to forward our request to the secretary general with that ish to

ensure that every single body of the united nations, every employee of the secretariat respects the decision of the general assembly or march to and does not deviate or substitute with ambiguities or fakes like special military forces. the language of the resolution that is called aggression against ukraine. a vague, a full fledged russian invasion has already resulted in thousands killed over a 1000000 refugees ruined infrastructure. it is already the common duty of the international community to stop rush and murderers and terrorists stop by closing the skies over ukraine. stop by supporting ukraine in terms of security and

humanitarian assistance. stop by expelling russians from international institutions, as they do not deserve to be among civilized and responsible nations. einstein said the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil leave credence we'll do, we'll deal with evil. but by those who watch them without doing anything, the people of ukraine do more than they they can do, including by paying the ultimate price, paying with their lives, and still shameless, shamefully. there is a handful of those around us or among us rather who do nothing

act now or it might be too late. not only for ukraine, but for all of you. i thank you. i thank the representative of ukraine for their statement. there are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. the meeting is adjourned. ok, so that was ukraine's ambassador to the u. n. a concluding that emergency meeting of the un security council, the i said not only, it's not only ukraine under under attack, it's europe the world she want to see in future generations. russia, he said his furious about world support for ukraine, and in retaliation, it's resorted to war crimes and crimes against humanity. and here is russia to stop spreading lies will earlier in that meeting,

russia's ambassador to the un vaseline a benzo denied his country's military ever attacked the patricia power plant. here, some of the comments made at the un security. he made up the un security council meeting soonest. is she done? yeah, that should have nerve of good. today's meeting is another attempt by keybo authorities to create artificial hysteria around what is happening in ukraine, and they being assisted in this by their western beckers. today we have once again heard, lies about how russian troops to take this apparition, nuclear power plant. and this is all part of an unprecedented campaign of lies and disinformation against russia. you're trying to present the situation in such a way as though the zachary, she, a power plant, was allegedly shelled by the russian military as a result of which a fire broke out. these statements. simply untrue young nuclear facilities cannot become part of this conflict. reliable electricity is vital for

the nuclear facility, as are back up diesel generators and fuel safe transit corridors must be maintained. russia must hold any further use of force that might put at further risk. all 15 operable reactors across ukraine. yeah, here behind the shipping of mine, i can tell you i'm a, a 2 or 3 or the framework compromise that will lead to not corporal mise, this principles that before friday. i mean, obviously that last comment was not made at the the un security council meeting. let's bring an out. 0 is kristen salumi. she's at the un in new york. this then kristen was the security council in emergency session responding to the incident

overnight in, in ukraine r r r a nuclear plant. what did we learn from that meeting? well, you had the ukrainian ambassador calling the situation nuclear terrorism, the russian ambassador, referring to had as ukraine's hysteria, being fueled by the west. we did get a briefing though, from the director general of the international atomic energy agency, general of raphael mariano grossey, is his name. he briefed of from a plane. it tells you how serious the situation is. i've never seen a, a person on a flight give a briefing to the security council, but that's exactly what happened. and what he said, this is an independent organization meant to oversee the safe use of nuclear energy

. and his briefing to the council said that that there has been no release of radiation from the zap arissa nuclear plant. there's been no damage to reactors or security infrastructure. he said that a projectile fired by russian forces did impact a building close to the facility that building caught fire. the fire was put out, ah, in the operation of the plant is continuing. normally he said, although adding that nothing is normal when you have a soldiers, a standing over the people who normally operate that plant, which is the largest nuclear plant in the ukraine and by some accounts all of europe. so that's what the impartial bodies are saying. we also heard from the united states and the russians unvarying interpretations of that from the western point of view. and from the ukraine. there are, there are

a accusing russia of firing on a functioning and fuel that were that those were the words of the english ambassador, the u. k. ambassador nuclear facility. and as many countries pointed out, that would be a violation of international law. russia for its part saying that it's military, is there guarding the facility and that they were attacked by a group of a sabotage group is the way he described it. that was attempting to draw the facility into conflict. but i clearly the united nations officials attempting to calm the situation and offering to bring both sides together to talk about securing these facilities of 0. kristen salumi, they're reporting live from the you. and we'll come back to the situation on the nuclear plant in just a moment. but 1st let's join out 0 sir jonah. whoa, who is live for us now in live is who,

which is in the western ukraine. joe, to bring us up to speed with what, what's happening right now around the country. right, well the movement on the various fronts in the country, from the south to the east, all the way to the north. we had little earlier from charlie stratford ins operation a describing the formation of new front lines as russian forces move up from the south along the deep river, taking in the gold area and the upper region nuclear power plant. but let's talk about what's happening in the south. these efforts to continue to build a land bridge between crimea and the eastern breakaway regions. we've seen the fall of hash san, of another port city called bad dance can the last couple of days the big hold out in that strategic objective for the russians is the city of mario pope, a very significant sized port city, half a 1000000 people there. it's been encircled and and classical siege now for

$23.00 days. no way in or out supplies are cut. there is no heating, there is no water. there is no way of resupply. it is said to be running low on medicines as well word out from the city comes from the math. vadim boy jenco who describes a scene of unfolding disaster. he made a televised appeal, asking for military help and for humanitarian corridor to be set up. immediately he said, we are simply being destroyed. he describes 40 hours of non stop shelling and bombardment on residential areas including schools and hospitals. but the flag is still flying . it remains a hold out city. moving up to the east car key, that city that has been under relentless bombardment for a few days now. again targeting residential areas on the fringes of that city. as

russia tries to complete its encirclement, a relative. com today allowed residents to emerge from their bunkers and basements and get into cause and flee. as many of them who could long, long lines of traffic reported outside car keep and written scrawled notes stuck to the windshield of cars, saying the word children, indicating that there are children and families in these cars, hoping that would give them some measure of protection. and safe passage through the multiple checkpoints they will have to cross as they journey across the country . have the fighting in the north around the town of chinese, north of kia big i saw a big assault there on thursday, has resulted 40 to 47 civilian deaths, reported that and lost so little attacks on the northwest and southwest outskirts of the city of ki, of the capital itself, with russian forces within 20 to 25 kilometers. these little attacks happening in dormitory towns just maintaining the pressure on the civilian population. keeping

this idea of a sort of terrorizing tactic against the population going and lots and lots of casualties being reported. 7 killed, including 2 children in one town called mac leave, because they're also a pro dunker. i beg your pardon, where a large attack on thursday is believed to have resulted in a 100 civilian deaths still under rubble. i'll just say we're still in a hall reporting live there from levin's in western ukraine. right. let's get back to that un security council called in reaction to that incident overnight at europe's largest nuclear facility ukraine. currently staring a possible power crisis. most of the countries electricity comes from nuclear power plants that were built under the soviet union. supper this year is the largest. it has 6 of the countries 15 reactors, according to the i,

a russian troops are also advancing on another nuclear plant called south ukraine. there are 2 other plants can a ski and risen up to the northwest. russian forces have control of that novel nuclear plant. now that it hasn't had any active nuclear reactors for more than 20 years, but large amounts of spent fuel and radioactive waste remain on the site. and this is where the russian forces are in relation to the plants. ukraine's president's landscape says the russian troops of seas in control of the countries nuclear power infrastructure. telegraph is for the head of the verification and security policy coordination office at the international atomic energy agency. the a he joins is found live from vienna. good to have you with us. i know you've been waiting for some time to, to speak to us. many thanks, voicing. russia says that these nuclear plants or this nuclear plant,

but it's taken europe's biggest is safe. is it? well, we really don't know whether it is safe or not, particularly if the operators of the nuclear power plant are sitting at that desk with the russian soldiers, with guns behind them. also, according to the state nuclear regulatory inspectorate of ukraine, which is the regulator which licenses and is responsible for the safe operation of nuclear power plants in ukraine. it is pointed out that many of these operators have been working very long shifts have not had rest. and therefore, they may not be in a position to properly monitor the control room and to monitor the reactor that is running just how dangerous a situation is this. well fortunately, after the fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 all nuclear power plants were

retrofitted with emergency measures backed up power in case the main electricity supply fails. and then back up to the back of power as well as emergency shut down . where bore on so that rod can be dropped into the reactor by gravity and it can shut down the reaction within minutes. but nonetheless, the nuclear fuel and the reactor is both radiological hot to add heat and the cooling systems need to be running. and if the cooling system fails, then we can have a meltdown of the fuel and a meltdown of the reactor and possibly explosions from hydrogen as happened at fukushima. can you think? i'm right in thinking that but, but this is the 1st time that an armed conflict has been on the way in a country with nuclear power stations in it. yes. in the history of the

nuclear age, which started in $945.00. this is the 1st time that i'm to spill it. these and military attacks have occurred in the country that has operating nuclear power plants and an operating nuclear power plant has been subjected to military attack, which is actually reprehensible. how well run all ukraine's nuclear power plants was. fortunately, in the middle of january this year that i conducted 50 exercise with the ukrainian regulator and the i. e. s. website says that the i was very satisfied with the high level of safety and emergency preparedness of the regulator and the nuclear power plants and ukraine. but of course, at that time in january, ukraine has not been attacked. it has not been subjected to bombing the rapid nuclear power plant had not been attack. so the situation now is very different than what it was in sort of. so quite the time it is really good to speak to

somebody thanks indeed for coming on and sharing your expertise. tonic rock step. speaking from vienna. thank you. it is what we're midway through. just after midway through this news out is an upside down from out. the trash of butler on what was a pretty anxious night in a dangerous conflict after the russian army seized control of europe's largest power plant in ukraine and it triggered, understandably, worldwide alarm. gunfire lit up. the sky over europe largest nuclear power plant in inherit in southern ukraine, the ukrainians say heavy shilling by russian forces. they saw for huge fire in a building on the site. resist that you all through. as a result of strikes, there is a fire at the nuclear power plant. i repeat, as a result of strikes by the russian federation forces on the upper easier nuclear power plant. a fire has erupt,

it was as it took fire fighters 4 hours to put out the blaze. emergency cruise reportedly coming on the fire from russian troops who sees the area of the fierce fighting world leaders content. the attack, as reckless cranes president accused russia of what he called nuclear terrorism, more brazil in each year. grandma, we survived a night that could have stopped the story to do the history of ukraine. the history of europe, russian troops attacks upper region nuclear power plant, the largest in europe. it alone could be 16 nobles, coming international fears of a catastrophe. nuclear monitors in vienna said the plants reactors was secure. we of course, are fortunate that there was no a release of radiation and that the integrity of the reactors in themselves was not compromised. the kremlin denied attacking the plant

and blamed it on ukrainian saboteurs. 9 days into moscow's invasion of ukraine, russian troops continued to push into the country. moscow says these pictures show its tanks, nick eve, for days a 60 kilometer long, military convoy stopped outside the capital for reasons that still aren't clear, but his fueling anxiety and fear in the city. some wonder at their lives could have changed so fast. the cross to him, a clue. this is a genocide against ukraine, is a ukrainian people and ukrainian land. it is simply awful. since legacies are fired at homes all over the country. cities including ha, keys in the east and the strategic port of mario, poland, the sea of as offer continue to be pounded by russian shells. schools, homes, hospitals, all hit contradicting moscow's claims that it's not targeting civilian areas and we will not surrender. we will stand here on our land in our city,

for as long as it takes among the destruction many ordinary ukrainians continue to resist. others are desperate to leave you and says that at least a 1000000 people have fled ukraine for neighboring countries. since the russian invasion began. more than a week ago, thousands of people, upholstery, the city of levine is not far from the polish border and they just keep coming from them. so we are very scared because our parents are staying here. i hope it's not our oh, our last day of her life. i mean for all the ukrainian or russian negotiators agreed on thursday to set up humanitarian corridors. no word yet though, on how when these would be implemented. in the meantime, people across the country live in fear, face uncertainty, and

a new generation is growing up with another war. natasha butler, al jazeera levine, ukraine. they to foreign ministers have held a special meeting on ukraine. it comes as allies typing sanctions on president vladimir putin in a circle. later secretary general says the alliance has ruled out imposing a no fly zone over ukraine. but us on to plot to get us a james base report style from brussels. keith says it needs more support. foreign ministers met at nato and then at the e. u to discuss what more they can do to help ukraine as their fears grow, that the russian campaign will intensify. we are now when the seeing a fully fledged war. now of orders, a war leash by letting them put in a gauge of grain. hand completely unjustified. that's great and a lot of civilian casualties. with the use of our arms is strictly prohibited by

the geneva convention, nato and e. u. countries have already agreed to supply weapons to ukraine and to put in place some of the toughest sanctions in history. but the ukrainian foreign minister, who dressed them by video wants much more direct support, including the imposition of a no fly zone. we are ready to fight, we will continue fighting but help us if you dont, i'm afraid you will have to share responsibility for their lives and sufferings of civilian ukrainians. this was the response from nato secretary general. our assessment is that though we understand her desperation, but also believe that if we did that, will end up with something that could and in a full fledge war in europe involving many more countries on the earth, causing much more human suffering. at a news conference with the president of the european commission,

the u. s. secretary of state warned that the conflict in ukraine may well be a protracted one, unfortunately, tragically, horrifically, ah, this may not be overseen. and so these efforts that we're making together, we have to sustain, we have to build upon here at nato headquarters. there is a section from the berlin wall. the history of the alliance can be divided into the period of the cold war. and then the period after this wall fell, the secretary general believes the alliance has now passed a new milestone. what is calling a new normal? and for the 1st time, foreign ministers have been discussing a permanent long term presence of many more troops in the nato countries closest to russia. james bayes al jazeera at nato headquarters in brussels. joe reuben, as a former u. s. deputy assistant secretary of state, he joins us now live via skype from chevy. chase and maryland could have removed joe a couple of hours ago, we spoke to

a ukrainian mp who is also on the board of management of a, a children's hospital in keith where many desperately sick kids have been unable to be evacuated. they're down the basement, away from the life saving equipment that they need, that the equipment that keeps them alive. flight dialysis machines, she was pleading with us or, or pleading with the world through us to implement or no fly zone over ukraine. so these kids could get back to the equipment they need to save their lives. was nate nate a right to day to say no, we're not implementing a no fly zone over ukraine. it's great to be with you and thank you for, for having this discussion. the. ready no fly zone as a construct is an incredibly military heavy operation. it's not just a call for a no fly zone and then aircraft teeth. what this would mean is that nato would be directly engaging russian military aircraft. and if the aircraft were to fly,

nato would be obligated to shoot them down. so that's what we're talking about here . and it's a horrible conundrum that flatten prudent has aggressively and illegal invaded his neighbor, a democratic ally ukraine, to try to colonize it and throw in a public government and threaten the west. threatened the world quite frankly, with use of nuclear weapons. if he doesn't get what he wants, he didn't expect to get bogged down in the conflict like he is now. but this is the dynamic that we're stuck with. and so nato is keeping the pressure on. but this no fly zone could potentially lead to a direct war with russia between the united states in europe that could incredibly cascade out of control very quickly. and that's the problem that the policy makers of looking at right now. right. so ukraine fighting for its, its own survival then, and as it does so it's massively outnumbered by russian forces. nature continuing

to supply alms to help you, cranium forces fight off the russia invasion. the longer this goes on, the longer ukraine fights against these overwhelming odds. the bloody of this conflict is going to get, the more innocent civilian will be killed and injured. to what extent is nature then culpable for the deaths of the, of those people? if this, this war gets bloody and bloody? well, 1st and foremost, nato is not culpable for the killing of civilians. there is one individual culpable for that. and that is brushes president vladimir putin. he could immediately stop this insult right now if you wanted to, but he's not any indiscriminately bombing civilians in city, killing women and children and untold numbers, because he wants to take over a country through force. other actions are also underway, such as highly affected distinctions that are taking the russian economy,

isolating russia diplomatically pushing russia into a corner. in many ways we see the reaction, 3 quarters of rushes, military is right now, entrenched in this fight and ukrainian people are valiantly fighting back and they are getting military resupply, getting it from germany and ways that no one anticipated only a week or so ago. getting the kinds of anti tank missiles that they need to defend themselves. so nato is part of that huddle and trying to push back against russia and to get flattened reputed to back off. that is critical because if he does not back off, we're going to do is bloodshed regardless who is fighting. he needs to pull back accepting negotiated outcome and stop killing innocent civilians in ukraine. it's always good to talk to joe manufacture date once again for being with us. really appreciate it. thank jill reuben and chevy chase, maryland. ukraine's 2nd city hockey was one of russia's 1st targets. now,

despite heavy shilling, the city is still under ukrainian control. i was a serious child strength of reports now from a village not far from concave. just a warning, charles is report contains some graphic images. maxine was at home with his girlfriend when the shells started crashing into his village, shrapnel ripped through his arm face. will it happen so quickly? the explosions, i heard something flying over us. i was covered up to my waist in 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, maxim'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 not. 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 shells had 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 iv many of the cause of a sign reading children on the windscreen. desperate attempts to protect those inside we are leaving everything behind us. we have been trying for 5 days to

get out, but couldn't because of the shell him when it simply hell. we are going to nipple and after that, he 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 civilian 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. an expectation of a russian army advance. this one reads, welcome to hell cha, stripe and al jazeera yackel live cur ukraine. out as a response, smith has just arrived and on the ask in the separatist held east of ukraine, he sent us this update a short while ago. russia's defense ministries as fighters from the donates and the ganske people's republic armies are continuing now to move through

territory in the eastern new cray. more is considered traditional area of don bass . now, before vladimir putin launched his invasion of ukraine, the forces in the next and against the separatist groups, as they were called, only controlled about a 3rd of the territory of don bassett. they lay claim to this is the territory that has been recognized by moscow as now. these new republics of de next and le ganske . but as 2 thirds of this territory arrests still in the hands of ukrainian forces, russia defense minisey says it's through there that with the help of the russian army. the de next lou ganske fighters are making progress. the last 7 or 8 years, the front lines really haven't moved much in that territory, but in the last week or so, since this invasion started, then maybe advances of up 22030405060 kilometers,

been made into the territory that remains in the hands or i was remaining in the hands of ukrainian forces. the russian government has approved a law that could imprison people for 15 years if they're convicted of spreading false information about the military. most independent media have been shut down or told by the state regulators what they can and cannot say. i'm 0 storage berries in moscow. in yet i hear and touched, and yet with no to war was the final statement broadcast on russia's last independent tv channel, tv, rain, all its employees walked out in protests against what the c, a severe government censorship. and in its final seconds on air. it showed this with a nod to russian history, the swan lake ballet performance was broadcast on state tv in the soviet era,
