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 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 vaal, 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 the heavier 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. his his cockpit video from a russian helicopter gunship. and this is the sort of response ukraine's army is able to deliver. one helicopter 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 de mer comforting, his mom which when we get the children are terrified and they don't know why they need to leave their home. i mean, i don't understand why i need to run away and leave my husband behind. we left him alone, protected to 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 say to the people and occupation in the south of the country in places like have sown and burdens and on the root of russia's advance in supper easier. all 3 places, so 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 nazis and nationalists as they make their way into a bomb shelter, even here. where they had hoped to escape the war. jona,

how al jazeera believe. a child strafford has more on the fighting from near port asia in south east in 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 bosses up civilians being transported out of mary opal taking them north to separation that it happened because the c squire failed road is be very quiet. we've seen the occasional car carrying children. no. we've also seen a lot of military. interestingly, checkpoints that we see early in the day now abandoned and ukrainians. hanks heading towards russian positions we've been told 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 girls. jo, our parents away said we were born during the war with the nazis, and we would die cheering of william. i heard the soil rejects peyton'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 i do wanna. but the right you what i can say. yeah, there's no electricity. we have no idea what's going on around us. my son is fighting and 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 new 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 smash the wheel. the rush and the shelling, even though they saw cars with signs,

saying children inside driving back north to die parisha the roads, quiet ukrainian tanks at its south charleston 0 near the upper risha, eastern ukraine. ukraine president had this message for his people late on saturday, urging them to fight on not being in our road that we will not give our country to the invaders. ukrainian, people in every occupied place. go on attack counter attack. you have to struggle. you have to fight like an kershawn for dancing. you have to go out and test them out clear this evil from al land. gabriel is on though is in washington d. c, with more on the landscape. call to us president joe biden. while the call apparently happened in the evening, saturday night here, washington time the call lasted a little over 30 minutes. according to a read out from the white house to read out is essentially a summary of the call that the white house releases after president talks to

another foreign leader according to that read out and it was short, it was only about a paragraph or so the 2 leaders talked about security for ukraine and continued to security support on behalf of new us to, to ukraine. i also talked about sanctions, the continuing ramping up of sanctions. and by an apparently towards the 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 where 2 things, any sort of calls for bite and 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 president by an angel and sky. so it just shows how important the white house is taking this and how closely the president of the united states is watching events on the ground there. a visa, mastercard, say they are suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any credit card issued in the country can no longer be used to block supplies worldwide. cards issued elsewhere won't work in russia. they are the latest companies in moscow too. but to isolate moscow, rather from the international community following the invasion of ukraine. economist mohammed hider says the decision by visa, mastercard will have a devastating effect on many sectors of society. however, you know, i mean this damage is not going to be only for the, for the clients or the, or the,

the, 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, the, some over 210000000 cardholders in, in russia. and that did the, the to sticks, 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 bills 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 institutions or for, for companies will have like accounts for individual. definitely this will be, there will be really the effects on, on them. and it may triple a lot of businesses. russian president vladimir putin says any attempt by nato to establish no fly zone over ukraine would be viewed as an act of war. common vol has more as russia's war machine rages across ukraine. the verbal of us, if coming from moscow, is no less powerful. president puts, in, issued a clear warning to western powers, saying any attempt to create a no fly zone over ukraine would be considered a dialect, military involvement in the conflict against russia. just miss leesha, storm new york. now we are hearing the no fly zone must be established, 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 jupiter. 14 made it clear he once ukraine to have a neutral status in the polar ballast between nato and russia. look, were this, he says, requires of demilitarized. 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 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 moth alpha. they will have us at gunpoint. right? yes. how can we overlooked that him? not as when we put put his said everything is going according to plan in ukraine, and his army will achieve all of its objectives. his foreign minister sergey laughed rav had some harsh words for the ukrainian president, zeus rung vocalist royal, still not the it's zalinski. 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 you appeal. 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 and his country for a minister love role 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. so russia, because in his words, the u. k. has chosen to move to words, a direct confrontation with his country mohammed one additional i'd still ahead on a show of solidarity thousands gathering cities across europe in support of plan. ah

okay, attempts to start to rise now as i should do with the season. so most of, of the raving peninsula and right up into iraq or into the high twenty's, even the thirty's, occasionally. but still we've got one winter late wind to 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 a sudden flank strong winds, probably with sandstorms into, for example, northern egypt, and across into jordan. northern part of sadie as well. otherwise it's just a hazy atmosphere. useful rain and snow on its way out of afghanistan into the north of pakistan for the science. it looks fairly dry, but her occasional shower showing up evening places like rochester, the bigger picture in iran is by monday walls. further west has shown up

a snow shows on the high ground with rain for the low ground. probably won't rain stretching, took medicine on his way back in to afghanistan in africa. i'm afraid to say that the seasonal rains going north have left zimbabwe. rob was shorter of what it wanted during the summer, but we still got significant rang to the west. for example, angola and botswana, ah, a mass pro democracy movement, violent crackdowns assassinations, and you imposed sanctions? all talk, dixon struggled with ensued from the 2020 bella roost in presidential elections. that shook the country's self proclaimed dictators a seat of power. and now new tactics, migrants, people empower, investigates, the humanitarian disaster on to rivaling on europe's borders and asks what's next.

and the battle for bella. bruce on a judge ito, lou ah, and again, you're watching i da 0 reminder of our top stories to south ukrainian president, one of demons, zalinski is urging his people to continue the fight. as russia's invasion of ukraine continues. is pleaded with the west for more aid and is pushing for a no fly zone. visa and mastercard, say they are suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any of that credit cards issued in the country can no longer be used. it block applies while one russian president vladimir putin is wanting any country that

tries to impose a no fly zone over ukraine would be participating in the military conflict. it comes with russian forces continue that pushed towards keith. cut valeca is a former us ambassador to nato. he says, a no fly zone can be achieved over certain ukrainian cities. i think it is essential. i think it can be done in a way that does not risk a major escalation between russia and the west for a variety of reasons. one, it's a humanitarian gesture, mandatory emission. 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 is fired upon escort russian aircraft out of the zone. if they come in and only fire they refused to leave. so we are deliberately trying to limit this 3

. it is limited in scope. we're not doing this over the entirety of ukraine, only kiev and western grange. 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 you? oh, i think it applies on this fine. that'll never happen. but good respects is force if we show that we are present and determined and clear about our rules. he and more importantly is military. one 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 thousands of ukrainians continue to try

to escape the fighting. these are the scenes in butcher, which is on the outskirts of the capital, key of many families, placing signs on their vehicles, st. children, or evacuation a temporary humanitarian, sci fi in the cranium. cities of money you poll and vulnerable car is now on hold of russia and ukraine are accusing each other of violating the deal. doctors without borders says safe passage needs to be urgently assured was civilians, bernard smith reports from gun yes. can easton ukraine, 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 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 of 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 reason he called in russian forces 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 durham, dun exc, 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. as important to point out that mary awful and villanova her form, part of this historic province of dumbass in ukraine that are done at scam ganske want to be part of their republics. republics recognized by russia, but at the moment the forces rondon, etc. and were ganske when vladimir putin invaded ukraine, the only control about a 3rd of the territory that they lay claim to the ukrainians had about 2 thirds. but that of course is rapidly diminishing as are due next can lugens forces advance with rush and help. but mary, apple and val, nova, or critical areas for don bass, are you a secretary of state anthony blinking has arrived in moldova as that country faces? a surge of refugees from ukraine blinking, expected to provide reassurance is an american support to one of the poorest

countries. earlier he was in poland where hundreds of thousands of ukrainians across the board of the u. n. is predicting the number of people fleeing the war will reach one and a half 1000000 within the next 24 hours. zane bas robbie report from the medical crossing on the polish side of the border with ukraine. are you not put a bluish job, but you have it all over now, but not the last because it will be sent high. so close the skies over ukraine now she says to stop rushing bombs, falling on their cities more, your more least foes the skies. for your help us on a desperate plea from the ukrainian people. something that us 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'm standing here in ukraine with my friend, my colleague in triple labor, the foreign minister of ukraine. if they continue to provide us with necessary weapons, the price will be lower. this will save many life in ukraine. many houses. many children will be born, many suffering 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 uncertainty, frustration and sadness of refugees. at the often chaotic medic, a border crossing must be seen to be understood, having scripted on his tour,

blinking they say may struggle to comprehend the level of help ukraine needs. is one thing and i thing and the actually doing something is another thing. i can say a lot of words do, but it doesn't mean anything. you don't do anything with my hands. i'm not present here. i don't see it in my with my eyes, millions more 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 you free and forces to stop the rush in advance, let alone push it back. what we haven't seen here at the medical border crossing is more and more metrics 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 defense 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 in basra, the o. jazeera medical border crossing eastern poland a marches have taken place across europe in support of ukraine. thousands of people turning out in major cities to rally against the russian assault. sonya guy echo has more from one 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, its entrance vandalized with red paint, a show of anger against vladimir putin. the man who protest her say must waste justice for his actions are creek for after reading, i despise war, any kind of war and i really want to set an example. i think peter 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, 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. 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 had on their businesses and politics. oh, among them, london, a major beneficiary of russian cash is 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 putin and his

assault on ukraine. there's going to be a genocide. why do we wait? they will go in. but only after the 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 less support for the country and to show ukrainians. they are not alone. san diego, i'll de zera london. the russian offensive in ukraine could be a stumbling block in efforts to restore the 2015 iran nuclear deal russian for mr. sag ala. rob is demanding guarantee sanctions imposed on russia won't affect its trade with iran. nebraska says, under the deal, russia and china were allowed to help iran with civilian nuclear programs,

the sanctions have been put on russia are not going to affect rushes, trade, and relations with iran. it's a real spanner in the works. at the 11th hour negotiations. in other news, north korea says it has conducted another test in its development of spy satellites . south we had reported the launch as a ballistic missile test. the 2nd in a week soul is bracing for young young's attempt to launch its reconnaissance satellite system into all bit in the near future. ah, this is angela. it's going to round up now the top stories ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is urging people to take to the streets and continued to fight against russia's invasion. he's played with the west for more aid and is pushing for a no fly zone. nashville in the road. it does that.
