7:06 am
how al jazeera believe. charles traffic has more on the fighting for me is a for easier in easton ukraine. we traveled south of the city of south parisha. the road behind me is the road that it was expected, perhaps optimistically to see buses of civilians being transported out of mariel, pal 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 so we see early the day now abandoned and ukrainians. hanks heading towards russian positions. we range 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 am well now,
7:07 am
this group of people said they had neighborhood shilling as intense as little as young. our parents away said we were born during the war with the nazis, and we would die during of well, if 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 the right you wanna, but the right you are as yet, 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 alive. he also was a little boy. with the owner of this call is a shell destroyed its wheel. is he trying to drive his family to safety? with silicon it hit. yeah. and smashed the wheel. the russians are shelling,

7:09 am
it is limited in scope. we're not doing this over the entirety of ukraine. only key ever worked in ukraine. you create a secure space for the population. i think on those terms a no fly zone can be effective, can make a difference for saving lives and does not necessarily need to military escalation, who will never affirmatively accept your oh, i think it applies on this fine that will never happen. but respects is force, if we show that we are present and determined and clear about our rules. he and more importantly is military law understand that one of the things definitely does not want is to draw the west into the war on the side of ukraine. you desperately wants to avoid that as do me. so i think this is something we can do to support saving a great lives without escalating the war. a ukrainian president volunteer. ms.

7:11 am
to security support on behalf of new us to, to ukraine. i also talked about sanctions for continuing ramping up of sanctions and by an apparently towards sky. you said this would continue to go on and continue to be a point of that. the white house would continue to focus on what was not discussed or at least what was not mentioned in the read out from the white house or 2 things . any sort of calls for biden, talking about transferring of military aircraft to ukraine. that's something that's been talked about a bit, but there was no discussion of that between the 2 leaders, according to the read out, and also the no fly zone. it's lensky and others have been pushing for that. both nato and the white house have been reluctant to and flat out said they would not participate in. there was no indication that this call that that was discussed either bottom line. no, this is one of several calls that happened over the past week or so between
7:12 am

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, in russia. and that did the statistics show that around $850000.00 card issued every month if we're talking about this average of $800.00. so we're talking about the $126000000000.00 of bill will not be settled and who is going to be responsible for that. if you're talking about big sectors, for example, of course some of the sectors like energy sector, like you 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,
7:14 am
there will be really the effects on, on them. and it may triple a lot of businesses time for a quick breakdown when we come back a show us solidarity thousands gathering in cities across europe in support of ukraine. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored by capital airways. ok, attempted to start to rise 9 as they should do with the season. so most of of the raven peninsula and run up into iraq or into the high twenty's, even the thirty's, occasionally. but still, we've got one winter late winter want to come out of europe the to do to come together. and you tend to get these stormy systems blowing. ev, every 3 or 4 days, it seems this latest one. sunday will bring rain into syria and of its southern
