5:03 am
heading towards russian positions. we rings, hold our 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 got him wrong. this group of people said they had never heard shelling as intense as little girls. you 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 peyton's dead body, right? 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 i do wanna, but the right you what i can say, 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. do you? there was a little boy. with you. the owner of this call says
5:04 am
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 seeing children inside driving back north tis aperture, the roads, quiet ukrainian tanks itself. chaw, stratford al jazeera is upper risha, eastern ukraine. i. let's make to michaela who's dying by fritz in washington, d. c. as in mike, tell us more about this conversation between of ukrainian and us presidents while it took place in the evening d. c. time the conversation that lasted some 30 minutes at the white house read out of the conversations says that the 2 leaders discussed the sanctions program again . so russia, they discussed ukrainians. security and president biden pledge to continue to work
5:05 am
with congress to build a massive humanitarian aid package which ukraine so desperately needs what was not mentioned in the readout, as whether the matter of fighter aircraft came up for discussion. this is something that president zalinski has been calling for, for the us, so long with its nato allies to provide air craft to the ukranian air force along with drones. and no mention in the official statement from the white house that this was brought up at any time during the conversation. but it's something that president lensky did bring up early in the day when he spoke to a group of senators at briefing them on the situation in ukraine. they said, tell us more about van sir, because he is making quite an impassioned play with me. very much so that was said the senator along with a number of others that president soleski addressed in a video's speech. and once again, he called on
5:06 am
a support from the us mentioning of course, the need for fighters. as i said, he also made a plea for more humanitarian aid, also for more military hardware. the u. s. has in recent weeks in sending a great deal of military hardware such as javelin mussels, president lensky making a plea for more of these. but he also brought up what he said was a says, central thing. he said he had evidence that president putin is guilty of war crimes . and he asked for the support of the u. s. congress in terms of prosecuting these crimes. am a number of senators subsequently said that they would do all they could or one senator lindsey graham, tweeting out his response to as the lensky speech as saying that he would do what he can to assist the ukrainian precedent in his attempts to bring war crime charges against vladimir putin. so there was complete to not a support for ukraine from congress during that speech. the only perhaps sour note is that a number of republican senators tweeted out,
5:07 am
images of zalinski speaking during the speech itself. this was something they'd been asked not to do for security reasons. so that has been a bit of an issue among members of congress following the zalinski speech. but generally a demonstration of broad bipartisan us support for ukraine. and it's ongoing struggle or my fax alerts and my kind of reporting that from washington dc. visa and mastercard, say they're suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any card issued in the country will no longer be able to be used at the block applies. world wide cards issued elsewhere won't work in russia. the firms are the latest to isolate moscow from the international community following the invasion of ukraine. i let speak to mohammed hi there. his in london is an economist, a welcome to program sir. so this is to say the least a widely used method of payment at what are the implications of this of course,
5:08 am
you know, a subway that will have its own really devastated effect on, on many, many, many sector social glosses, congress. quite a lot of economy tractors will be affected by this movement. however, you know, i mean this damage is not going to be only for the, for the clients or the, or the car carriers that will be damaged for the company as well. for the visa and, and other credit card companies. if this is step is this is really in effect. now let me know we are talking about the, the, some over 210000000 cardholders in russia. and that the statistic is show that around $850000.00 card issued every month. if you take in
5:09 am
consideration how much is the limits or the spend by each individual. and of course, you're talking about that mean a humble average of but $500.00 or $600.00. who's going to settle this bill if the company took such a decision? right? yes. i'm not going to pay this. sorry. this is the fact to not only russians in russia, but also known russians in russia who may be trying to get out because they do say that you're trying to get back in as true. i mean, if you think, for example, the retail system on that sector, this is going to affect the client. the customer is going to affect the company or sending the service, which the credit card company is working as a factor for it. and it's the obligation to collect the money or set the money with this, with this company. so both of them, whether it is a client or a retailer,
5:10 am
they are plans for the, for the credit company. if, if we're talking about this average of $800.00, so we're talking about the $126000000000.00 of bills will not be settled and who is going to be responsible for that will be, for example, you know, as a court case is, was going to be responsible for the company because you say its obligation to lead it quite a lot of chaos will be for all of those. so what are the implications on the economy talking about that much money if that's, that's in the balance. what are the not affects going to be? that's true. you know, i'm in financial, financial institution for example, bank to support, you know, through the accounts of each individual or corporate account or a manager or executive or the household or they have, they have accounts in the bank, their bank or the bank accounts will be affected by this and the banks will lose
5:11 am
a lot of but of the commission from by, by stopping this, this operation, you know, through the stopping the credit card. and if you're talking about big sectors, for example, of course, some of the sectors like energy sector, like guys like petrol, this are not in involved. they included in the and the sanctions. so there will be a movement, there will be a damage, you know, for the financial institution or for, for companies will have like accounts for individual. definitely this will be there will be really the stated effects on, on them. and it may triple a lot of businesses in the country and outside the country. because for example, traders doesn't mean you know, they are only affected the russian because they have the import product from outside important imported from ural. of course, the europe suppliers,
5:12 am
european suppliers will be affected. i won't be as well, their money in this case. so it's not only that i can have to leave it that i need to appreciate your perspective. sorry to jump in, but we need to move on. but do appreciate perspective your expertise. thank you so much. speaking to us ok, you're most welcome. thank you. is the lead air in our desert. ah edition one woman strikes a chord as thousands try to escape ukrainians with me look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle ways. i think the hawkeye to at least with his spinning lo, the conditions that would describe this is
5:13 am
a blizzard. do exist and has plenty of windy and stormy weather down through han shoe as well. during sunday, the caribbean answers bit breezy, not as cold as it was, 7 days and souls about right for the average. and we got rain develope in southern china on its way size to give hong kong on wednesday during monday. but the same time the sun should be out over japan, the snow school gall new singer. lovely probably looks beautiful as well. this is jump south, significant res. they're in the forecast of the central philippines. yep. it's like 3 flooded flash floods. at least the same is true. a good part of borneo, su martin, also martyr. at least pincher, malaysia. and a good way up through thailand, certainly, western men mar, seasonal rains, are starting to show themselves by this time. at the moment, we still got the early part of the incoming seasons, you like. so this is the old ne monsoon spinning around to be counted by when coming up from the south, you like tropical depression radiance towel. noddy may be touching swelling cap
5:14 am
still wesley disturbances with rain and significance though in northern pakistan. the good news is he does improve the quality ah, the weather sponsored by cats are always a mass pro democracy movement, violent crackdowns assassinations, and you imposed sanctions? all talk ticks in the struggle that ensued from the 2020 bella roost in presidential elections. that shook the country, self proclaimed dictators. seat of power. and now new tactics, migrants, people in power investigates the humanitarian disaster unraveling on europe's borders and asks what's next and the battle for bella. bruce on a jazz eda. ah
5:15 am
ah! are you watching out 0 reminder of our top story is this. our ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is urging his people to continue the fight as russia's invasion of ukraine and his it's 11th day. he's pleaded with the west for more aid is pushing for no flies. a visa and mastercard, say that suspending all operations in russia effective immediately means any event cause issued in the country will no longer be able to be used. the block applies world wide, russian president vladimir putin, his warning, any country, the choice to impose a no fly zone of ukraine would be a participant in a military conflict, becomes as russian forces continue their push towards will fighting continues in several cities across ukraine. let's here now from jenna. whoa, who has more from live if louisiana she booth, if a better fit? this is blogger, nikita demento. he lives in the east and city of ha keith,
5:16 am
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 such shelters as here in the town of your pin close to keep. it is often to a landscape they could 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 vaal, nevada, and the port city of merrier pole in the south failed on saturday because of continued
5:17 am
russian attacks. negotiations are said to be ongoing. ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance so heavy 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, is lensky to the nato alliance. that he and that he would all the 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
5:18 am
gunship down 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 mum. where were you more seriously richer when we asked kit? and as a children are terrified and said, don't know why they need to leave their home.
5:19 am
so anyway, i don't understand why i need to run away and leave my husband behind when children we left him alone to protect our see tim. moscow says it is 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. ah, yes. so i saying it to the people under occupation in the south of the country in places like have song and body ask, and on the root of rushes advance in zapora asia, all 3 places. so large protests on saturday, against the presence of russian troops. and try telling irina and her children that russian forces are liberating ukraine's they claim from nuts, isn't nationalists, as they make their way into
5:20 am
a bomb shelter even here where they'd hoped to escape the war. jonah haul al jazeera live. let's take this on. we're going to speak now to kurt volker, in washington dc. he's a former us ambassador to nato. a matter of ok, welcome to the program. good to have you with us. where do you think we are now in this war? are we nearing a point of white bread escalation? do you think? snaps zulu? i think we are at the point now where russia has been frustrated in is inability to make military conquests against the grainy and military. so they are changing their tactics and expanding attacks on the civilian population itself. and we're going to see escalating into expiry with multiple rocket launchers, their craft with missiles against civilian infrastructure against apartment buildings against government buildings,
5:21 am
against anything that keeps you crying functioning. russia will now try to destroy, given that perhaps president lensky is right, that no fly zone is the answer. i agree with him. i think it is essential. i think it can be done in a way that does not risk in a major escalation between russia and the west for a variety of reasons. one, it's a humanitarian gesture, humanitarian mission. we're protecting civilian populations. to we make it clear that we are not intending to attack russian ground forces or russian aircraft, only return fire fire to pon, escort rushing aircraft out of the zone if they come in and only fire if they refuse to leave. so we are deliberately trying to limit us 3. no, it is limited in scope. we're not doing this over the entirety of ukraine, only key of in west ukraine's you create a secure space for the population. i think on those terms
5:22 am
a no fly zone can be infected, can make a difference for saving lives and does not necessarily lead to military escalation . but the truth button or is that that president preaching be unlikely to accept those terms. and even if he did say there was a situation where there was a shooting, a far incident to the russian plane went down. who knows where that would lead. right? good. and will never affirmatively accept. oh, i think it was on the spot that'll never happen. but couldn't respects is force if we show that we are present and determined and clear about our rules. he and more importantly is military. understand that one of the things bruton definitely does not want is to draw the west into the war on the side of ukraine. he desperately wants to avoid that as jim lee. so i think this is something we can do to support
5:23 am
saving ukrainian lives without escalating the what is it, do you think that if the u. s. and native do not want to engage militarily, do not want to implement no fly zones. they do not have any other means of seizing the initiative this. i know there are other things we can do. you are very right to say that tune is setting the agenda and taking right initiative, we are reacting and we are reacting slow and we are reacting in half measures. i think we can see the initiative more. and in that area, i will say we need to provide real time intelligence to ukrainians. so they know where the russians are and what they're doing. we need to provide more armaments to ukrainians, particularly air defense systems. not just thing wrestles which we are doing that work at a low level, but also mid out to due to high altitude systems so that they can protect their scores. we should be providing military aircraft to the grahams that they can fly
5:24 am
and they can use to defend their country. these could be make 20 nines from poland, which you guys already know why? a 10 aircraft from united states which are good ground attack aircraft. and where they're always and train ukraine violence, but we need to be doing everything we can now. before putin's tactics of attacking the civilian population are really allowed to emerge, will be saving thousands of lives if we do cover. okay, it's great to have you with a appreciate your perspective. thanks very much and do my pleasure. thank you for having us actually state antony blanket is in poland to see the scale of the refugee crisis 1st hand. united nations predicts the number of people fleeing the ball will reach one and a half 1000000 in the next 24 hours. same bas robbie reports now from the daycare border crossing on the polar side of the ukrainian border. are you not thought us

5:26 am
