abandoned and ukrainians. hanks heading towards russian positions we ring told, are only around 20 kilometers south of here will be speaking to villages in this area. they tell us that the situation has deteriorated dramatically. today. i am well now this group of people said they had never heard shilling as intense as little as you out. parents away said we were born during the war with the nazis guy, and we would die cheering of worldly. i heard the soil rejects peyton's dead body, right? how is it possible? they are next of kin? how can they do this? so my relatives there in russia, we have their blood and they have aus that on you or not. but the right you, what i him say, there's no electricity. we have no idea what's going on around us. my son is fighting in dumbass. i haven't heard from him for 4 days. i don't even know if he's still life to use. i was
2:04 am
a new boy with the owner of this cause as a shell, destroyed its wheel as he tried to drive his 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 north to zap parisha the roads, quiet ukrainian tanks at its south shall stratford al jazeera, near as upper risha. easton ukraine was the landscape. his ramped up calls to the west to do more in an appeal to congressional leaders in the united states. he dressed more than 300 officials by video link to was for no flies. i know ukraine and more lethal late. mike hannah is in washington dc. might tell us more about said this meeting and what happened? is it like it's making a difference? well, president zalinski spoke to members of the us senate,
2:05 am
and in one of his requests was that companies like mastercard and visa stop operations in russia. and within a few hours of that address, mastercard and visa have both announced that they will suspend all operations within russia in retaliation for the invasion of ukraine. now this will have a massive impact on ordinary russians or any russian not being able to use credit cards within russia itself. presidency lensky, also, according to senators, made it plea for the u. s. to provide more drones and aircraft. this is something that the u. s. has not supplied several nato companies. ours are providing it planes to the ukrainians. but presidents zalinski saying that this was a very important issue. and he also asked for more, a aid for humanitarian aid to coming from us. that should be forthcoming in coming week. certainly, there has been
2:06 am
a pledge from congressional leaders that they will work together on a massive humanitarian aid, a package that would be separate from those that have been supplied by presidential decree. mike, i'm wondering what about the general view in the united states about what's going on and what the government there is doing. the ministration is doing and indeed should be doing well, it certainly there is almost total support for ukraine in this battle. and total condemnation off russia, there is however, division in terms of why the war started and the u. s. involvement. and some republicans have accused president biden of being responsible for emboldening president putin. by his withdrawal of troops from afghanistan. this has become very much a republican mantra at president biden, created the circumstances in which president putin felt emboldened to take the step
2:07 am
the invasion of ukraine. but there's also been some divisions, an former president trump at the start of this invasion at described to putin as smart as cunning. and this was redirected to by many members of his own republican party, a former president trump, but walked to that back subsequently. but not before his vice president, his former vice president mike pence said there is no room whatsoever for supporters when myers of fed them and putin in the republican party. so that was an issue that in a way divided the republican party to a point. but generally, there is a total condemnation of russia and within the united states congress, at least, there appears to be total support of ukraine, or might, thanks for that. so my kind of reporting that from washington dc. well, russian president vladimir putin says any attempt by nato to establish a no fly zone over ukraine would be viewed as an act of war. ma'am, a vow,
2:08 am
as more as russia's war machine rages across ukraine. the verbal of fuss, if coming from moscow is no less powerful. 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 must lucian storm looseness. george, 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 territory of ukraine itself. it is possible only from the territory of some neighboring country, but any move in this direction will be viewed bath as a participation in the armed conflict of july. 14 made it clear he once ukraine to have a neutral status in the pol, a balance between nato and russia. look, were this, he says, requires of demilitarised. jo craig a little because it's western bacchus, are intending to supply it with nuclear weapons. if not stopped. they will, armed of 15th and from that thick, anon, from the very thick and rushes fate would be very different. because then our
2:09 am
strategic enemy won't even need intercontinental ballistic muscle through the they will have us at gunpoint. right? yes. how can we all the looked at him, 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 laugh. rove had some harsh words for the ukrainian president. just run the across through for still another. it's zalinski. so unhappy with nato not interfering. then that means he's hoping to resolve this conflict by involving nato . it means he's not hearing statements from you appear. capitals 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, lavolle has warned of consequences and single doubt the u. k. in particular,
2:10 am
he says moscow's response to the factions will without doubt head british interests russia. because in his words, the u. k. has chosen to move to words at direct confrontation with his country mohammed one. and as you will hear more about the fighting now, which continues in several cities across ukraine, john hall has more from love if ludowici booth about ready to see this is blogger, nikita demento. he lives in the eastern city of her keith and he's explaining to his followers how their donations are being spent to help civilians on the front line. oh. across ukraine, along shifting front lines from the north to the east and to the south. civilians are under attack boy when they emerge from basements and shelters. as here in the town of ill pin close to keep. it is often to
2:11 am
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 val, nevada, and the port city of merrier pole in the south failed on saturday because of continued russian attacks. negotiations are said to be ongoing. ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance so heavy a fire power is being unleashed from the air. yet the ukrainian governments urgent calls for a no fly zone have gone. an onset, which explains this angry warning by president, followed him as he lensky to the nato allies. that he and that he would all the
2:12 am
people who die from this day forward will also die. because of you, because of your weakness and 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, and in the north, a russian warplane is down. it's 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 husband ru slammed behind to fight it is
2:13 am
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 william, when we get 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, left him alone to protect moscow says it is not attacking civilian targets that claims to the country 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. law. yeah. so i saying it to the people under occupation in the south of the
2:14 am
country, in places like have san burdens and on the root of russia's advance in zapora asia . all 3 places saw large protests on saturday, against the presence of russian troops. and try telling irina and her children that russian forces, 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. don't a whole al jazeera leave. i still had here on out 0 shows on the diety, thousands gather in cities across europe, and support ah,
2:15 am
there's still plenty of winter cold around in the u. s. it stretches down to the rockies, but then of course are going to be cold in early march. but there are warnings of snow or down to southern california in the mountains there, right across the middle plains, up towards the great lakes as well. so this is cody share, you saw that, and this is much warmer, the booby jesting. some more from the gulf is full of moisture to and as always, when the 2 come together, you get a line of thunderstorms or potentially quite dangerous. there on sunday, the running up as was kentucky and tennessee and then back towards northern part of texas nessa snow on the northern edge in oklahoma. so that different still exists. the showers get possibly at their worst with tornado risk on that lives at rest of their ohio valley and to the east. and again, winter will follow the drop in temperature in all those places. county warm kansas dant about class for as the maximum by day. we're currently in the twenty's quite a windy patton at the moment of the sudden bahamas, the turks and k cost all the virgin owls,

2:17 am
ah, et daniel, what y'all 0. mind about top stories this out and you creating president flood him? is lensky is judging his people to continue the fight. rushes invasion of ukraine enters its 10th day. he's painted with the west of more aid and is pushing for no flies. we bol russian president vladimir putin, his warning. any country that tries to impose no flies and of ukraine would be a participant in the military conflict comes as russian forces. the continued that pushed towards key a russia has resumed its defensive on the strategic portuguese. mariposa comes all through a temporary spot, failed with both sides, accusing the other violating troops that sent out from ben. it's matthew has more from the next. the russian defense ministry says in coordination with the
2:18 am
ukrainians. it established a humanitarian corridor on saturday between 10 am and 4 pm, to allow civilians to leave mary awful and villanova how these 2 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 to shell these corridors, and so it wasn't possible to have this for the sci fi to be effective. am for civilians to leave and fight. according to denise pershing, who is the leader that annette's people's republic. he says no civilians were able to leave van of aha. now he also told al jazeera that the reason he called in russian force is to help in the fight in don bass against ukraine forces. because the british in the america americans particularly had been arming and training fighters from ukraine and they feared in, in durham, dun exc,
2:19 am
and la ganske 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 with us as important to point out that mario pole and villanova form part of this historic province of dumbass in ukraine that are done at sc and were ganske. want to be part of their republics, republics recognized by russia. but at the moment, the forces from the nets and ma ganske. when that putin invaded ukraine, the only control about a 3rd of the territory that they lay claim to the ukrainians had about tooth birds
2:20 am
. but that, of course, is rapidly diminishing as donetta can lugens courses advance with russian help. but mary are full and vulnerable. critical areas for don bass or us to state entity, blink, and is in poland to see the scale of the refugee crisis time. and the not nations that predicts a number of people fleeing the wall will reach one and a half 1000000. the next 24 hours, sam bus, robbie reports from the my data border on the polar side of the ukrainian board. ok, you know, it's not us put the boy. yes job. but you have it all over now, but not in the last because it will be send that high. so close the skies over the ukraine. now. she says to stop russian bombs falling on their cities more, your more least pose the skies for your help us on a desperate plea from the ukrainian people something that us secretary of state
2:21 am
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'm standing here in ukraine, with my friend, my colleague, interpolate with a foreign minister of ukraine. if they continue to provide us with necessary weapons, the price will be lower. this will save many lives in ukraine. many houses, many children will be born, many sufferings will be avoided. despite the symbolic visit, direct american military help, something that could risk triggering a global conflict, stops at the polish border. volunteer say the anxiety certainty,
2:22 am
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 in 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 put you back. what we have been seeing here, the medic, a border crossing 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
2:23 am
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, the l g 0 medical border crossing eastern poland were let's say, bring in that monica matters in war. so she's a human rights activist working with the enjo group or anita it's monica anxiety, uncertainty, frustration, sadness, as we heard of that report. is that your impression of the scale of humanitarian effort that's, that's required. of course, i mean these are the words that describe to people that we meet on the border very well. like all of the refugees in the world, you know, and the numbers are really huge and overwhelming. today it's
2:24 am
confirmed at 8 over $800000.00 people from ukraine came already to poland and we know there will be more this is overwhelming for anybody just would be overwhelming for all of you know, any country in the world and in poland. i cannot say we were, we're preparing the lots of boards that is being done right now to transport the people into furthermore into the country to provide shelter and legal assistance them a lot of to or majority, even on the shoulders of you know, local authority and non governmental organization, there is also no like idea what's going to happen in the future. so we're all working in an emergency mode. however, since then day it's not, it's not ending. we don't know where it is, because when we say there's going to be more refugees, company,
2:25 am
we're not just talking about thousands, we could be talking about hundreds and hundreds of thousands more. yeah, we are actually, we could be talking about couple of 1000000 more and i think we want to be prepared for this. however, we were not prepared for this. and i think we need like a global sort of a global support to them. very soon established in poland and throughout europe we were hearing stories of discrimination at the border. is that still happening? i would say it's a little bit better now. we know of some particular cases, but it's a little bit better and polish authorities personally look, they took to hearts, you know, the criticism about not providing transport or adequate for people of non ukrainian origin. i must say, for example, i don't know what to do or so they responded really,
2:26 am
really great. and we have now a huge system of on to activity and non governmental organizations which are reaching out practically to take the people across the border and, you know, bring them inside and may be sort of trying to provide transport fed on to the western europe. i mean, majority of the non ukraine and people actually wants to go further more towards the western europe or just go back to the origin market in terms of the humanitarian. if one of the major challenges, one of the biggest requirements i think at the moment as i said, we are working in emergency mode. so like everybody needs chance, everybody needs transport further on at the one. the huge challenge is, as far as we see, and we hear is that there are huge cues at the, at the ukrainian side of the borders. and i mean, there is a need of
2:27 am
a lot of people and a lot of supplies to be brought to them along the queue. so do so, so to speak, at the majority of the crossings. that's one challenge. the 2nd challenge is already in poland. to like distribute people so to speak, you know, around poland. and i think we're just coming after over a week. we are just coming to defer challenge, which is like basically and what next, you know, a lot of people still and rightly so, don't know what's gonna happen to them. they think they are going to come back to ukraine in a couple of days in a couple of weeks. so they don't wanna, you know, i don't know, i'm a start looking for a job or an apartment or something because they just don't know what's going to happen. but you know, as of today i, we just have to deal with this somehow. ok, monica early, 10 days in a in more than a 1000000 refugees already. it's extraordinary. i would appreciate your time monica,
2:28 am
but to say from the human rights group. i'm a group runner. thank you. but much as have taken place all across europe and supported ukraine. thousands of people have turned out in major cities to run against the russian assault. so the giga has more often lung 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, it's entrance vandalized with red paint, a show of anger against vladimir putin. the man who protested, say, must waste justice for his actions. are greek for after of when i despise war, any kind of war. and i really want to set an example. i think patient has been courted for far too long. for 20 years. the west has been trying to keep him quiet so that he don't get upset. and that simply has to stop now. ah, in rome,
2:29 am
the mood may have been more festive, but the message to put in just as critical, italy may have been one of russia's closest allies in europe, with many politicians having previously boasted of strong ties. that now many are seeking to distance themselves across europe. cities that have welcome to russian money are having to reflect on the effect that it's had on their businesses and politics. oh, among them london, and major beneficiary of russian cash says the end of the soviet union. but that has not calmed 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 hootin and his assault on ukraine. there's going to be a genocide. why do we way they will go in?
2:30 am
but only after this genocide, how outrageous we need to do it now. oh, in the hague, home of the international criminal court, many called for an end to the invasion and blamed putin himself not russians for the conflict. all the while ukraine continues to come under attack, yet many europeans are determined to signal their support for the country and to show ukrainians. they are not alone. sonya jago al jazeera london, other jews now and north. chris says it has conducted another important test in its development of spy satellites. south korea had reported a lot as a ballistic missile test. the 2nd in a week soul is bracing from pyongyang attempt to launch his reconnaissance satellite system into orbit in the near future. ah, so this is out there, these are the top stories and ukraine,
