a no fly zone. but russia lead of liverpool and warns any such sun would be regarded as an act of war. and agencies warned the conflict and you've cried as pushing millions of people towards hunger. about him, he descended in doe, who response news? american women's basketball. the limpid gold medalist berkeley greiner faces charges of drug smuggling of the being detained that moscow called ah, will 10 days into rushes invasion of ukraine on the slim hope of a humanitarian corridor out of the southern city of mario full has been dashed. russia says it's resumed its attacks and made claims of sci fi violations. fighting was supposed to stop in mary opal and von vanka on saturday to enable the safe passage of civilians out of harm's way. but those evacuations were aborted because
12:02 am
of ongoing shelling. meanwhile, ukrainians in the southern city of carson have been protesting against russia's take over that. it's the largest city currently on to moscow's control. and now the world food program has warned, the conflict will push more people into hunger. they say 5000000 people are now in desperate need of food inside ukraine. i'll just here as jonah, how begins our coverage now from the city of living. she's the supervisor. this is blogger, nikita dement off. he lives in the east and city of her keys and he is explaining to his followers how their donations are being spent to help civilians on the front line. across ukraine, along shifting front lines from the north to the east and to the south. civilians are under attack when they emerge from basements and shelters. as here in the
12:03 am
town of pin close to keep. it is often to a landscape they can neither recognise nor comprehend. homes destroyed hospitals, overwhelmed heating, water and electricity cut off and with limited avenues of escape. that's why safe passage is so important. now. humanitarian corridors out of vall, nevada, and the port city of merrier pole in the south failed on saturday because of continued attacks. negotiations are said to be ongoing. ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance. so heavier fire power is being unleashed 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
12:04 am
alliance. that he and 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. oh. 7 7 and in the north, a russian warplane is down the 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 her keep leaving
12:05 am
husband ru slammed 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 de mer comforting, his mom which when we skip, the children are terrified and they don't know why they need to leave their home. i mean, like, i don't understand why i need to run away and leave my husband behind. we left him alone to protect our see tim. moscow says if he's not attacking civilian targets, the claims to the contrary of fake news that the destruction in city centers and residential areas across the country is the work instead of ukrainian forces and saboteurs. try telling that to the people here.
12:06 am
wow. yeah. can i saying it to the people under occupation in the south of the country, in places like has san and burdens and on the root of russia's advance in the upper asia. all 3 places saw a large protests on saturday against the presence of russian troops. and try telling irina and her children that russian forces are liberating ukraine as they claim from nazi, isn't nationalists. as they make their way into a bomb shelter, even here, where they had hoped to escape the war. jonah how al jazeera leave. let's just take a closer look again at the humanitarian car door that had been set out. the route was established from mary apple, which is home to more than 400000 people to the city of zap parisha. it would have allowed civilians to drive along the corridor in their own cause or to go by boss out there is charles stratford has more now from just news parisha. we traveled
12:07 am
south of the city of south parisha road behind me as the road that it was expected, perhaps optimistically to see buses of civilians being transported out of mary opal taking them north to separation. that didn't happen because the see suarez failed. road is be very quiet. we've seen the occasional call carrying children. no. we've also seen a lot of military. interestingly, checkpoints that we see early the day now abandoned, and ukrainians. hanks heading towards russian positions. we reno hold. are only around 20 kilometers south of here will be speaking to villages in this area. they tell us what the situation is deteriorated dramatically today. i got him wrong. this group of people said they had never heard shilling as intense as little as you
12:08 am
out. parents away said we were born during the war with the nazis guy and we would die during a world i heard the soil rejects putin's dead body life. how is it possible they are next of kin? how can they do this? so my relatives are in russia, we have their blood and they have ours that on you wanna, but the right, you, as you know, there's no electricity. we have no idea what's going on around us. my son is fighting a dumbass. i haven't heard from him for 4 days. i don't even know if he's still alive to you. there was a little boy just with the owner of this cause as a shell, destroyed his wheel as he tried to drive it family to safety with silicon, it hit here and smashed the wheel. the russians are shelling, even though they saw cars with signs, saying children inside driving back, nor does operation the roads, quiet,
12:09 am
ukrainian tanks itself shall stratford al jazeera nears upper russia, eastern new grain. and now we can go tell bernard smith, he is in the eastern region of daniel can, has more on why that cease fire failed. the russian defense ministry says in coordination with the ukrainians. it established a humanitarian corridor on saturday between 10 am and 4 pm, to allow civilians to leave my apple and vulnerable high these to strategic cities that are surrounded by russian forces and fighters from earl de next. and la ganske people's republic. but the russians say, the cravings continued a, shall these corridors. and so it wasn't possible. sure how this for the sci fi to be effective am or civilians to leave and fight. according to denise pershing, who is the leader, the de annette's people's republic. he says, no civilians were able to leave van of aha. now he also told al jazeera that the
12:10 am
reason he called in russian force is to help in the fight in don bass against ukraine forces. because the british in america, americans particularly had been arming and training fighters from ukraine and they feared in in dirt, dun exc. and la gunk so that they were about to be invaded. but ball chillers ball . now what happened is that at the end of last year, the west started active support of armed forces of ukraine. they started supplying lethal weapons and lots of aircraft from the us and britain, and hundreds and hundreds of units of armaments. they also supply the government of ukraine with instructions over a long period of time. and our intelligence was reporting that manpower, armaments, and ammunitions were being moved towards the demarcation line. a little less important to point out that mary awful unvil nova her form part of this historic province of dumbass in ukraine, that are done at scam ganske want to be part of their republics,
12:11 am
republics recognized by russia. but at the moment, the forces from de nets and la ganske, when vladimir putin invaded ukraine, the only control about a 3rd of the territory that they lay claim to the ukrainians had about to birds. but that of course, is rapidly diminishing. ours are done at scan. lugens forces advanced with russian help, but mary, apple and villanova are critical areas for don bass. will ukraine's president as it ramped up calls for the west to do more in a meeting with congressional leaders in the united states. today he addressed more than 300 officials of a video link to push for no fly zone in ukraine. tom refers to an air space that becomes off limits for certain aircraft, usually put in place to prevent airborne attacks or surveillance, and it must be enforced by military power. that means nato would need to take action against any russian plain spotted in a no fly zone and shoot at them if necessary. ramirez lansky says the absence of
12:12 am
a no fly zone gives russia the green light to continue bombing cities and villages . but the u. s. and nato said, implementing one could put the alliance into a direct, military confrontation with russia and vladimir putin as well in the west. he would regard any, no fly zone over ukraine as an act of war. famine van has minus now was russia's war machine rages across ukraine. the verbal office is coming from moskos . notice paul from president put in, issued a clear warning to western powers, saying any attempt to create a no fly zone over ukraine would be considered a direct military involvement in the conflict against russia. just mostly sham. storm newton as you are now, we are hearing the no fly zone must be established over the territory of ukraine. it is impossible to do so over the territory of ukraine itself. it is possible only from the territory of some neighboring country,
12:13 am
but any move in this direction will be viewed by us as the participation in the arm conflict resolution with putting made it clear he once you claim to have a new total status in the polar ballast between nato and russia slick, we're this, he says requires a demilitarized ukraine because it's western bacchus, our intern, to supply it, wilson nuclear weapons, if not stopped, they will arm those systems. and from that thick and on from the very thick and rush of faith will be very different. because then our strategic enemy won't even need intercontinental ballistic missile for that they will have us at gunpoint. right. just how can we overlooked asking me not as when we put, put and said everything is going according to plan in ukraine and his army will achieve all of its objectives. his foreign minister, sergey laughed. rove had some harsh words for the ukrainian president. this run vocalist royal, still not the it's the landscape so unhappy with nato not interfering than that means he's hoping to resolve this conflict by involving nato. it means he's not hearing statements from european capitals,
12:14 am
saying they won't get involved. it means he wants to provoke a conflict between nato and russia. perhaps the most challenging issue for russia right now is the economic measures. the west is imposing in this regard, president put in says western sanctions are akin to a declaration of war on his country. for a minister of rob has warned of consequences and single doubt the u. k. in particular, he says moscow's response to the factions will without doubt, hurt, british interests russia. because in his words, the yuki has chosen to move to words at direct confrontation with his country. mohammed what a diesel or my cat has been watching the response to the landscape address the last congress. he joins us now from washington. a no fly zone has been rolled out. i, america, and nato. what is washington prepared to offer them? well, washington continues to insist that it will offer whatever it can in terms of military
12:15 am
material that has been supplying a great deal, particularly in recent weeks, as well as humanitarian aid. now president zalinski spoke to members of the u. s. senate for about an hour in the course of the morning, senators who reacted strongly to his address saying that the one of his requests was for the us to provide more air power. this is something that the u. s. appears reluctant to do, but to president zalinski making that appeal directly to members of the senate. he also suggested say, several senators, that a band be imposed on mastercard and visa for russians. this serve pre presidents, lensky said, would have a major impact on the russian people in terms of those who are continuing their support for vladimir putin. so, strong reactions from the u. s. senate, clearly a massive degree of sympathy. this was a completely bipartisan occasion. one note though,
12:16 am
a pair of republican senators treated out the conversation with president zalinski while it was under way this, despite the fact that ukrainian ambassador had asked them not to do so for security reasons. so a little bit of argument in congress about that particular action. thank you very much. from washington d. c, mike hannah. so joining me now is ben judah, a senior fellow at the atlantic councils, europe sant, he joins us live from new york, another passionate and emotional play from present, loaded me zalinski been about the creation of a no fly zone. now, do you think he has weighed the risk of an escalation at the nuclear level, or is this just part of the, the process of, of posturing and pressure? from the point of view of a leader like zelinski, you have to ask for the maximum to get the medium from his point of view, making these impassioned speech. it makes complete sense. however, from the point of view of nato, or the united states, or britain or france,
12:17 am
i know why that would constitute an act of war against russia, which would involve nato troops shooting down russian plains over ukrainian territory. and vladimir putin is already made clear today and several times indirectly before that he would consider that an accident. all right, war would potentially nuclear consequences. what we're involved in is one of the most dangerous moments in international relations since the cuban missile crisis. and it's very important that cool heads and judicious judgment prevail in washington and london, brussels, paris, and elsewhere. and so, how dangerous is any sort of mixed messaging or misinterpretation? in the current situation? how could it shape perception and false assumption is extremely important in these crises that leaders continue to talk to each other directly,
12:18 am
indirectly. that military is, continues to talk to each other. and as far as possible, there are direct lines between them. it was one of the few positive signs we had in this conflict so far that a direct line has been established between the head of the russian army and his american counterpart in order that they can call each other in the event of an emergency. then i also wanted to ask you about the recent changes over the last 24 hours that we've seen domestically in, in russia. how is this war changing the country for free? think because activists independent journalists, you've described some of these changes as crushing and frightening why. over the last 72 hours, russia has moved from florida harris state into a almost totalitarian wong, with the final destruction of the remains of russia journalism and with new laws
12:19 am
punishing by 15 years in jail. any body distributing so called fake news about the conflict we seen over 8 and a half 1000 people arrested. we've seen a mass flight from the country of activist free thinkers, journalists and cultural figures. we see individuals who oppose the war, or even questioned it on domestic tv, disappear from public life. we've crossed a line in terms of russian society from a society which was closer to that towards the end of the soviet union toward war, which is starting frighteningly to resemble one closer to the regime of stolen. and this is very important. this model shift from authoritarianism to totalitarianism. even seasoned experts on russia were caught by surprise with what happened, even though some sort of military action had been predicted for many weeks. the fact that russia is now trying to take control of ukraine and it is gone as far as
12:20 am
reaching the capital kiev. it's no longer was it spoken about it being this system where there are different structures and different figures that were able to affect decision making in the country. now, it's based solely on the the decisions of one man you, this regime is gone now for a very long time. it's almost 23 years old. it started with putin as a figure, somewhat like tire ardo on in turkey are going to populate strong man on clear whether or not the country was still democracy, but he was very much in charge of a regime with 1000000000 as businessman, an importance of keeping public opinion onside, it shifted into a full on authoritarian regime and now i don't think we can really call it a regime at all. the regime is when there are other figures around
12:21 am
a leader influencing decision making was become clear as that putin is making these decisions alone. and that the regime that we have now in russia is not a regime. it's a personalised dictatorship and judah and new york. thank you. yes, actually as a antony blaine can meanwhile is in poland to see the scale of the refugee crisis. first hand is met with the polish foreign minister, and he also saw ukrainian refugees. united nations predicts a number of people fleeing the war might reach one and a half 1000000 in the next 24 hours. st. basra, the reports from ne modica border crossing on the polish side of the cranium border with okay, you not thought us put that a bluish job, but you have it all part thus visa kind of now. but none of korean would last because there were beats and the high no mitchell, close the skies over ukraine. now she says to stop rush and bombs falling on their cities. but i am,
12:22 am
are you more please for the sky for your cry. help us yell on much of a desperate plea from the ukrainian people. something that you are secretary of state, anthony, blinking on his visit to poland, made clear will not happen. a 45 minute meeting with ukraine's foreign minister at the border, a public show of support. at his country's darkest hour. the entire world stands with ukraine. just as i am standing here in ukraine with my friend, my colleague, to triple over the foreign minister of ukraine. if they continued to provide us with necessary weapons, the price will be lower. this will save many lives in ukraine. many houses. many children will be bored. many sufferings will be avoided. despite the symbolic
12:23 am
visit, direct american military help, something that could risk triggering a global conflict, stops at the polish border of volunteer, say the anxiety uncertainty, frustration and sadness of refugees. at the often chaotic medic, a border crossing must be seen to be understood. having skipped it on his tour blinkin, they say may struggle to comprehend the level of help ukraine needs to live there it is one thing and i'm a thing and actually doing something is another thing i can say a lot of words do, but it doesn't mean anything if i don't do anything with my hands, i am not present here. i don't see it didn't my, with my eyes, millions more of could soon be making their way on the refugee trail. short of direct military intervention by anyone. it will continue to be a growing challenge for ukrainian forces to stop the russian advance, let alone push back what we have been seeing here at the medic. a border crossing
12:24 am
is more and more medics and volunteer fighters with military gear, with medical supplies coming to this border, crossing, crossing into ukraine, and then making their way to the front line. ukrainians know they are isolated and largely alone in this fight. waiting for help from the outside world fighter jets attack aircraft air defense systems, the kind of help they need to stop russia over running their country. the kind of help that is not coming. said basra v o g 0 medical border crossing eastern poland . the u. s. wild 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 of the lucky ones. the agency of setup distribution warehouses in neighboring countries to get food to people who are not able to leave . it's amazing just being here at all and watch the people who do not even know many of these people. this may be the metaphors given the rise,
12:25 am
where they need to make you certainly getting hot meals, taking them to where they want to go. this 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. i spoke to alex wade. he is an emergency coordinator with doctors without borders in ukraine. i started by asking him, what's been happening in a city of living in the view, things are quite com, at least compared to the rest of the country. it has received huge numbers of displaced. so there certainly are needs, but another thing we've seen is an immense amount of solidarity by other greens who are coming in but choosing to volunteer and helping we've done assessments on the borders where there were lines lasting days to cross and there are volunteers there
12:26 am
. here in the city as well, people are volunteering of their own volition to bring food, bring water, bring blankets. so while there are needs and we have to keep an eye on them, they're not as critical as the needs we're seeing in the east of the country. so from what you're saying, it's been relatively unscathed. we're not seeing the same intensity of fighting or escalation and levy levine as we've seen elsewhere. but there are many people who are internally displaced. have you managed to speak to any of them? what do they tell you about the conflict? yeah, many of them have come from other parts of the country from key or from, from, from farther east. they're, they're playing their homes in order to try to find safety. some of them are trying to stay in ukraine. some of them are trying to cross the border and so what we're trying to focus on is if they will have medical needs and access to the care they need and how are you going to facilitate your monetary and car doors or at
12:27 am
shipments particularly for those that are in need of medicine for us our, our top priority right now is trying to get supplies to the hospitals in the country that are receiving wanted. so those that are closest to the, to the conflict and the fighting in key in variable on the east. we were when the war 1st started able to supply several hospitals with the emergency medical supplies. we had already pre positioned in the country. but unfortunately, those supplies are almost exhausted, the ones we have inside the country already. so we're focusing now and also bringing in much, much more of supply from external externally so that we can continue to source these, these hospitals while we still have access to them. but continuing to have access to these hospitals is one of our biggest concerns and where particularly speaking about are you able to accurately assess needs and places like cars on mario
12:28 am
pl, nikolai, as a desa certainly not as accurately as we like access. it remains a huge issue, including in order to assess at this point, we're basically at a stage where we have contacts with the hospital directors or the heads of medicine . we can call them directly and we can ask, what are your needs? but with hospitals such as mary paul, which is a hospital, there are hospitals, there we better relationships with, with for many, many years. we've lost contact with those hospitals. we are unable to source them anymore. we're very worried about the situation, mary, mary, all. and we're worried that that situation could repeat itself elsewhere in the country and we would lose that accept. and so you mentioned marian poles and mayor has said that the city is running out of water, heating, electricity, and food. what are you hearing from people there? we are in direct contact with our staff and colleagues who are currently there. now we,
12:29 am
since the were started have been in touch with them every day. they are communicating to us the very, very dire conditions inside. marian will confirm that the city has been shells including the city center and the outskirts of the city. they have the stores are running out of food most already have run out of food. and as you mentioned that they're running out of water. many people no longer have access to water. they told us they've seen people gathering rainwater in the street or collecting snow to drink. people have even broken to their own shooting systems in order to access the water in the heating systems because that's the last option they have. it's incredibly worrying. and if something isn't done very, very quickly, you can turn into a disaster with the news. our lie from london much more still to bring you on the program. thousands of people across europe in rallying in solidarity with ukrainians. also looking at how the one you crank effect the iran nuclear dale is talk near an end in vienna. new kinds parallel pins put in

12:33 am
ah welcome back. look at the main developments now. russia has resumed attacking the southern city of murray awful, where a temporary cease fire to allow humanitarian corridor has failed. both moscow and giver accusing each other of violations. ukrainians in the southern city of cosa protesting rushes takeover it is the largest city that's been seized by russia. the bulls are gathered in 2 other cities demanding an end to the presence of russian troops and ukraine's present brought me zalinski is again calling for weston allies . to assist establishing a no fly zone over his country, but russia says any move to restrict flights would be viewed as an act of war. european media groups have joined international board. costas, in suspending operations in russia are responding to the introduction of a new law imposing jail times for publishing what the credit considers false
12:34 am
information about the military, spain's f, e. the wells 4th largest news agency is the latest to suspend operations. following germany's top or cost as a r d in that df. on friday, the bbc, cnn and bloomberg all halted their reporting from russia as well. isla lazansky is a senior editor at the organized crime and corruption reporting project. he joins us live by skype. now. i 1st hello. hi there. so can i start by asking you been monitoring footage and a great deal of detailed information? i've seen your work on line. can i start by asking you who is winning the information wall? well, i think it's pretty clear that the whole world practically sympathizes with ukraine and it's clear why, you know, it's a country that has undergone aggressive attack that's been unprovoked. and the
12:35 am
occupying forces are committing atrocities that everybody can see on their screens on tv and online. so, just when reporters on the ground are telling the truth about the war, the story is a pretty clear one that ukraine is kind of coming under an unjust aggression. and that's, you know, that's a good story and people, people feel that and has that sympathy, perhaps, to some extent prevented their enough scrutiny or perhaps analysis of the, the accounts and the claims that have come from the ukrainian side. could there be more of that to clean lice of some of the ukrainian president's remarks in recent days? i think we do have to be careful to remember that the ukranian government government officials need to be held accountable by the media just as anyone else does. i think it helps ukraine to tell the truth, because as i said,
12:36 am
the truth is that russia is attacking and let's be clear, there is no equivalence. russia has been telling lies about this conflict for years and years and they've only grown bolder in that lying in as the attack has commenced. but that doesn't mean that ukrainian official should escape scrutiny. and there have been story is shared by various ukrainian sources that have not checked out. and i think that they're trying to get sympathy. they're trying to get the world on their side and that's understandable. and i just think that as a media, we have to be careful to treat them with scrutiny as well because we don't want russia, russian officials to be able to say, well, look at the western media swallows everything that the ukrainian give them. and that is a propaganda that the russians are using already. there have been some videos that have been debunked, and those are the videos that the russians point to and say, look, none of this is happening. so we just have to be careful of that to maintain our credibility as job stories just have interests. can you give me some examples of
12:37 am
disinformation and falsify videos that you've seen? well, in some cases, it's hard to even say it's intentional. this information, you know, there was the famous story about snake island. those defenders who told the russians where to go and then were initially announced as killed and then later turn out they hadn't been killed. they were captured. i don't think that was intentional misinformation. i think that was just confusion and the fog of war. there was a story there stories going around about this so called ghost of give this fighter pilot, ukrainian fighter ace that's been shooting down russian plains. i think it's not clear whether that person really exists or not, but certainly at least one video, widely shared as being about that story has been debunked. so, you know, it's certainly nothing compared to the lives that russia has been telling where they're saying we're not bombing key of, we're not targeting civilian areas that is completely completely untrue. but that doesn't mean that every story that is sort of pro ukrainian in tone doesn't deserve
12:38 am
the same level of scrutiny. social media and independent journalism are now blocked in russia. how. what does this mean? people inside the country who are trying to access information about this for and then also for the outside world understand where at the position of the russian public, which will be very yes, i mean, it's very the crackdown we've seen in the last few days and russia is just completely unprecedented and it's still and russian media even before this war in 2021 was a terrible year for independent russian media and my organization. we have colleagues there that have left the country and so many have left and now everyone is leaving . so the information space is shrinking and boats for the outside world and for russians. and i think that is a huge problem because this war is only going to be stopped. you know, when something snaps and moscow and anyone, it's anyone's guess what that could be. but getting information about the atrocities that are being committed and what's really happening in ukraine is
12:39 am
crucial. and it's just not, it's very hard for that to get through. there are still, you know, the internet still works. some russians know how to use vpn to access sites that have been blocked. they have contacts with ukrainians, with their relatives, with friends. they have contact with foreigners, so some things are getting through. but to some extent, when information does get through, it's to that portion of the public that is already skeptical of food and that is already more liberal and more a to into what the outside world is thinking. if you are a russian person who doesn't really use the internet for news, and maybe you just watch tv to get your news, you're seeing a completely different reality. or just being in my previous guest about the shift that we've seen in terms of the way russia has been govern. previously the crime then was perceived as a place where you had multiple figures that were able to shape decision making. and now it's clear that it is one man that determines policy. does that make that tipping point? that snap you mention? much less likely to happen?
12:40 am
it's hard to say, you know, protests have you know, in the past years in 2011, 2012 after elections that were widely considered falsified. huge numbers of russians came into the streets approach us that and they were chanting against prudence and against the ruling united russia party. and i think after that the crackdown really began and hasn't stopped since when opposition leader alexandra barley came back to russia after his poisoning attempt after he was healed in germany. you know, he was immediately arrested and people came out to protest in some numbers and they were immediately cracked down. and now i'm not sure you're even seeing those numbers protest against this war. so the, the space is very, very narrow. it's, it's, and it's going narrower by the day. it's possible that if there is some kind of change, it won't happen from the street. it'll happen 1st from some other elite, you know, what could be described as a palace to? i mean, that's just speculation. you have no idea what's really going to happen where the
12:41 am
