10:06 pm
ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance. so heavier fire power is being and least from the air. yet the ukrainian government urgent calls for a no fly zone have gone an onset, which explains this angry warning by president floaty mizzi lensky to the nato alliance. that he and that all the people who die from this day forward will die because of you because of your weakness. because of your lack of unity. nato is not willing to shoot down russian aircraft and risk being drawn into a wider war with russia. so ukraine must act alone, for as long as its defense is lost. this is copied video from a russian helicopter gunship. and this is the sort of response ukraine's army is able to deliver one helicopter gunship down. 7
10:07 pm
and in the north, a russian warplane is down, wreckage smouldering among suburban homes. for those who do make it out of besieged and bombarded parts of the country, it is to leave that many come for now a place of safety behind the lines irina and her boys have fled to keep leaving husband ruthless behind to fight it is a feature of war that some are inspired to act with great courage. in this case, a 7 year old demur, comforting his mom, where were you were seriously ritual. and when we ask it, is it children are terrified and they don't know why they need to leave their home so anyway, i don't understand why i need to run away and leave my husband behind when she left him alone to protect our c. tim. moscow says it is not attacking civilian

10:09 pm
also and living natasha. butler joins us live now and it was a, as you seeing there, and joan is report. natasha. it was an emotional and furious response from president ro, demit zalinski to nato's rejection, at the request for a no fly zone. now, what is the foreign minister, the ukrainian pharmacy demitra caliber looking to achieve from his meeting with us secretary of state? now the interesting meeting that took place between antony blinking earth, you are secretary of state and demetrius labor, ukraine's foreign minister, standing on the polish ukrainian border side by side, highly symbolic, blinking talked about how he was showing us support for ukraine. he said that support has been unprecedented around the world and that it would continue blink.
10:10 pm
and also saying, are that putin had made a very, very terrible mistake. he said, the putin had started this invasion on the premise that a ukraine didn't really exist as a country burbling can said each day that passes ukraine is proving exactly the opposite. so warm words, lots of assurances are from antony, blinkin a but to metro are caliber is looking for so much more of the cranes. foreign minister said that nato's decision to decline ukraine's request for a nato no fly zone over ukraine was weak. he said, look, let's see how he goes in the future. nato may well change her. his, my, it's mind. he also talked about how civilians are dying every day we heard as well from the loudermilk lensky, ukrainian present, saying that effectively nato's grant of blood on his hands from refusing to impose that no fly zone. collabo also said that what ukraine needs is more than words that
10:11 pm
needs more weapons, more support, it needs ariel missile defense systems. it needs more planes, everything that it can get to try and fight russia as russia makes these advances across the country. caliber was asked by one reporter actually on that board during that, those talks with mc blinking just afterwards. he was asked, you know, what, what will happen to ukraine because of course it is getting absolutely pummeled in some areas by this russian shelling. he said, whatever happens ukraine, all we build, he said we will, will build an even better ukraine. and tasha we've been speaking about this, the failure of the ceasefire. that was meant to try and establish some sort of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians. russia and ukraine have now confirmed now hold another round of talks. what can we expect?
10:12 pm
you another round of talks expecting to take her place on monday. the 3rd round of talks while i collaborate, i actually spoke about those talk saying that is hopes of pretty low for them. and that is because at the last round that took place on thursday or both russian ukrainian negotiators had agreed on trying to implement some humanitarian corridors . that 1st humanitarian corridor, at least a number of them was supposed to be put in place at a day or in the mariposa region. but in the multiple city of marble, i should say a nearby, but they were, they failed to actually be able to put in place. that is because russian troops continued to fire and to show the air. it wasn't safe enough. and that is really made people here feel like, look, these are all words, whatever happens, russia says it, it does one thing. but actually in reality, it is not following through on its words with its action. so people hear very low
10:13 pm
hopes for those talks on to say, nevertheless, ukraine's foreign minister said, look, you know, are all conflicts come to an end with diplomacy in the end? that is the only thing that we really have to rely on. we have to continue trying with diplomacy. we have to continue trying with talks, but it is a desperate situation. as ukraine goes into nearly the 11th day, this invasion. all right, thank you very much apart. interest them live in ukraine. natasha butler or the russian present. write him a push and says any attempt by nato to establish no fly zone over ukraine would be viewed as an act of war. fusion made the comments while visiting national carry or flawed for international women's day, there was event related to that. russian national carrier is stopping all international flight except those headed to better. ruth? just mcglatian storm new york. now we are here in the no fly zone must be established over the territory of ukraine. it is impossible to do so over the
10:14 pm
territory of ukraine itself. it is possible only from the territory of some neighboring country, but any move in this direction will be viewed by us as a participation in the conflict of whichever side whose territory will pose a trick to our service members. that very 2nd, we will view them as participants of the military conflict. and if not matter what members, they are going this, the president voted zalinski has been ramping up called for the west to do more in a meeting with congressional leaders in the us today. he addressed more than 300 us officials over video link to push for a no fly zone in ukraine, and also for more lethal aid i g. castro joins us live now from washington. there is a great deal of debate about the implications of a no fly zone and what that would mean for a direct confrontation between russia and nato countries. what sort of reception did the lens he get from congress?
10:15 pm
as primary am zalinski was said to be clearly exhausted in this video conference he had with senators, and he made an impassioned and emotional plea for a no fly zone to be established. but he likely knew that the response was going to be know from the u. s congress because of course, the u. s. as part of nato has been opposed to that and certainly will not take those actions unilaterally either with that same rationale, that the u. s. does not want to get into a face to face military confrontation with russian soldiers and they see enforcement of a no fly zone as inevitably having to shoot down russian planes. something that us forces will not be taking part in. so zalinski, despite that still try to make the plea, he said that there would be no other option given that president putin of russia is unwilling to negotiate for peace. but the ukrainian president also focus on other things that he likely knew. congress would be receptive to which is asking for
10:16 pm
military aid, lethal aid. and that is something that senator after senator, after coming out of these close door meetings, have been talking about that. yes, the us wants to give up to some $8000000000.00 and military aid to ukraine. in fact, there's bipartisan support for exactly that. that is pending now in congress, and it could be sign into law as early as next week. the lensky in this meeting also asked for the us to help ukraine get more fighter jets. these are fighter jazz that are currently in nato countries. in europe and a several senators coming out of these meetings have said that they will do what they can to try to facilitate the transfer of those jets as soon as possible. i suppose the criticism has been that if the u. s. had anticipated this invasion was going to happen why ukrainians will not given military support earlier on is that in? are they prepared to offer the kind of aid that zalinski is asking for,
10:17 pm
if not, no fly zone, but in all the military hardware and, and could that be issues in terms of delivering it right over the last year. the u. s. has given, in fact, about $1000000000.00 worth of military aid to ukraine, and these are lethal weapons that take down airplanes from the ground. and that can take down tanks and the u. s. as it is prepared to continue giving those weapons. there's also, of course, the other option as a lensky brought up in the call, which is in banding, russian oil imports into the us that's being talked about also here in washington independent of today's meeting. both the white house and members of congress are increasingly coming out, saying that that is an option, the u. s. is exploring and now looks like they may be willing to take very soon. course, the hesitation to this point has been that president biden does not want this to impact the u. s. economy in the form of higher oil gas prices. but it seems that
10:18 pm
the tide is turning in the sense that the you, the american public is also supportive of taking that measure. mariam, thank you very much, heidi joe castro in washington watching al jazeera life in london, still ad on the program. thousands of people across here, right in solidarity with ukraine. and we know how the war in ukraine could affect the iran you play, deal as near it. a stormy weather in northern europe has subside, is now settled, high pressure situation and it was, it's just stopped moving. the total 2 don't one, just hear a sudden sweden and one over no line between the 2. this is just being squeezed, ac will be right and come from that. but this is the dominant where the patton,
10:19 pm
if you like of most of your, there is still me with a, than the g in the still some pretty harsh winter in western russia, running slowly westwards into ukraine as well. is the picture in on sunday, then this is all cold. settled, often fog in the morning. an overcast is not the best of weather, and temperatures typically are a few degrees below where you might expect to be at least the middle of march. we're not quite there yet, so we will get them to the south. useful showers. i think you'll find on sunday and eastern side of spain and in northern to news either be snow and the atlas mountain snow on the high ground and land in spain as well. post be too much rain if you want to be sitting on the coast that the splint he snow still in the balkans, bulgaria, and running to northern greece not be ran for dia. so slowly spreading into the western side of turkey, she can see far north africa beyond the right and the atlas mountains still fairly breezy but drive the showers are moving slowly in land. ah,

resumed attacking the southern city of mario full where a temporary cease fire to allow it. humanitarian corridor has failed both moscow. i'm key of our accusing each other, violating the agreement, ukrainians in the southern city of cas, on our protesting washes, take over. this is the largest city that's been seized by russia. people also gathered into all the cities demanding an end to the presence of russian troops. and ukraine's president rolled him. his lensky is again calling for western allies to assist in establishing a no fly zone over his country. but russia says, any move to restrict flights will be viewed as an act of war. what is the fighting intensifies again in mario? let's take a look at what's happening elsewhere in the country. ukraine is under attack from the north, south, and east russia and it's allied separate. his forces now hold all of the areas shaded and rad russian troops are claiming control of nikolai of in the south. but there are reports of ongoing battles. heavy shalon continues in ukraine's 2nd

10:23 pm
the developments the u. s. world food program is trying to feed 5000000 people in desperate need inside ukraine. it's direct to general david beasley says those who have managed to escape the country are the lucky ones. the agency is set up this distribution warehouse and neighboring countries to get food to people who are not able to leave. it's amazing just being here in poland, watching the people who do not even know many of these people. this meeting met the board, given the rats where they need to get may he certainly getting hot meals, taking them to where they want to go. it's really, really quite remarkable. now, on the other side of the equation, we plan to reach 3 to 5000000 people inside ukraine for those who can't get out in those who are going to be needing to support immediately. earlier on saturday, us secretary of state antony blinking, arrived in poland to assess the scale of the refugee crisis 1st hand. the diplomat

10:25 pm
wars on fresh arrivals across the border here at medica, into poland. we told them, these are some of the comments from the secretary of state. the world leaders don't want to trigger a global war with russia, which is what a direct confrontation with the united states and russia would lead to. and they said, well, that sounds reasonable. what many of them said to us was that they desperately need help now that they are at war with russia right now. and their point that several people told us is that the u. s. may be playing by the normal rules of global diplomacy. but the kremlin is not much, is taking place across european supportive ukraine. thousands of people have turned out and major cities to rally against the ongoing russian assault. so good guy has more from london side by side holding hands a show of solidarity in munich, a human chain across the city, protesting against russia's invasion of ukraine. nearby, the russian consulate,

10:27 pm
and major beneficiary of russian cash says the end of the soviet union. but that has not come to any criticism of putin or his allies. here. the more missiles raining down on ukraine, the more solidarity people here are showing towards ukrainians. more people, hey, want us for the west to step up and take decisive action against putin and his assault on ukraine. there's going to be a genocide. why do we wait? they will go in. but only after this agenda side, how outrageous we need to do it. now. i come from ohio, grew up with a lot of russian influence. and i think we're well aware of what, what he can learn. and if we don't stop him now, he'll just keep going and go. oh, in the hague, home of the international criminal court. many called for an end to the invasion
10:28 pm

10:30 pm
a nuclear bomb. but in recent weeks, there has been progress. the talks have been continuing here in the last few days. they've gone on late into the night. the european envoys left vienna in the last 24 hours to go and consult with the capitals, with many believing a deal was very close. and that's why the comments of the russian foreign minister are worrying for all involved in this process. he's now asking for guarantees that the sanctions have been put on russia and not going to affect russia's trade and relations with iran. it's a real spanner in the works. at the 11th hour in these negotiations, ah. just look at the main developments noun, slim hope as a humana tank card are out in the southern city of mary opening. ukraine has been gashed. russia says it's resumed its attacks make claims of ceasefire. violations fighting with the.
