fraudsters, profits that are easy to make and hard to ignore. perhaps it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plates. ah, ukraine's president urges people to fight back and protect their country against the russian forces as a temporary cease fire failed. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up president flooded me. zalinski makes a desperate play for more military equipment, warplanes and financial support. visa and mastercard, suspend operations in russia, becoming the latest corporations to stop business in the country. and rushes,

president von sanctions could amount to a declaration of war and raises questions about the future of ukraine state who's ukraine's president is called on his people to fight back and resist the russian invasion. it comes after a temporary cease fire failed with each side. blaming the other for violating the truce. nashville any nodded. these that us, we will not give our country to the invaders, a mock ukrainian people in every occupied place. go on attack, counter attack force. you have to struggle, you have to fight my concur song for dance. you have to go out and chased them out . pretty clear this evil from our land. president, believe me, zalinski has also spoken to us president joe biden by phone. they discussed security, financial support and sanctions on moscow. it comes as defining,

intensifies in several cities across the claim. journal how this report from levine . she's the supervisor. this is blogger, nikita dim and tough. he lives in the eastern city of her keys and he's 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 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 mario 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 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 alliance. that he and the g. all 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 it defenses last

. 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 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 mom which was 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 for a tech tow. a c to moscow says if he's not attacking civilian targets, that claims to the contrary of fake news that the destruction in city centers in residential areas across the country is the work instead of ukrainian forces and saboteurs. try telling that to the people here. wow. yeah, so i say to the people under occupation in the south of the country in places like have san birdie ask and on the route of rushes advance in the upper easier. all 3 places saw a large protests on saturday against the presence of russian troops. and try

telling irina and her children, that rushing 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 hall al jazeera, believe we have to have our correspondence, standing by step vassal is in the venetian, see a town that many ukrainians, a passing through. if they flee the fighting will be speaking to her in a few moments time. but 1st let's go to natasha. butler who's in levine. hello that natasha. what's the current state of play? ukrainian forces resisting russian advances while it makes the picture on the ground, russian troops are making advances in the north, east and south of the country, but ukrainian forces also continuing to resist in many places. now,

the ukrainian president followed them is the landscape has announced the ukrainian forces of launch a counter offensive in the hall keys, ukraine, 2nd largest city in the north east of the country. it is a 50 that has seen some of the worth fighting. this war began moving south onto the sea of as all the key ports of merrier pole. again, another city has been effectively under siege from russian shelling, shelling, continuing of a sci fi, a temporary sci fi in the, in the city around the 15 in the area failed on saturday, both ukrainian or russian officials, a blaming each other for the failure of that sci fi, which was going to allow people to be evacuated and essential viper a to get in to that city. it is a place where the man has said, jeffrey, recently, we are being completely destroyed. we are cut off from water, electricity heating,

a desperate situation. then that what russian troops are trying to do is advance along the southern coast. they're hoping to take mario poll in order to create this land, cory door from washington, crimea, but also push on along a non the coast on the black sea. they've already taken the 50 of care song, but they are moving towards mc alive. there is intense fighting around that city. the men of the 50 says ukrainian force is all still in control though they are fighting back. but if russian troops were to capture the city and move on, that be moving on to odessa and that would effectively mean the russian forces would have the whole of the coast, southern coast, if ukraine casting off the rest of the country at form the see i should just mention as while moving up to the capital. a key again, we understand from ukranian military forces that are russian. shelling has continued in many areas and towns around the capital back. huge,

60 kilometers convoys that has been, that is practically encircling the capital remains in place, so it is still stopped. it is unclear a why, but some u. s. intelligence sources are saying it could be that are, some of the troops are a regrouping refueling. and they could be looking to move in the next few days. natasha stay with us. we just went across to some live pitches before we ask you another question, we're going to head to moldova. now where you are secretary of state antony blinkin is taking part in a visit there. it's part of a, a wider visit to several countries in eastern europe are yesterday. he was in that holland in fact, over the coming days, blinking his visiting critical allies to shore up west and unity against moscow. so he is going to be speaking to the moldova in prime minister, as well as the president and a foreign minister, and will bring those developments as they come to hand with a press conference scheduled for 930 jam. taint,

thanks for standing by natasha. speaking of diplomacy, what more do you know about this next round of talks between cube and moscow, which is scheduled for tomorrow? that ukrainian negotiators are due to meet a russian negotiators. on monday, a 3rd round of talks between the 2 sides. the last round of talks was on a thursday, and in that last a round of talks that took place on the ukrainian better russian a border, it was agreed between both sides that they would put in place humanitarian corridors. now we expected one, the 1st of those humanitarian corridors to be active on saturday. but as i said, it was a, it wasn't able to be put in place because the fighting continued. so what we're saying is, some things are being agreed there is talk, but the actions don't always follow. and that is why on saturday we heard from

ukraine's or foreign minister to metro collabo, who in fact was meeting with the u. s. secretary of state on the polish ukrainian border, antony blinking and caliber said that in terms of his hopes for this new round of talks, while he said they were very low. but it is very important that talks continue. it is very important that diplomacy continues. indeed, thank you very much for that update and natasha butler live for us in that lives. let's head to winette c a. now that's where as step bass in joins us live and step your in this central city of ukraine, where a lot of people are moving through. what are you saying from a humanitarian perspective? yes, i'm here in the affinity i and i can say the situation is very nervous or very at g at the moment or with the russian forces closing in on kia from the north, but also circling at the city or trying at least. and there's a lot of concern here that there are advance troops here infiltrating among the

population. so there's a lot of for security as you can imagine, a lot of nervousness here. and as you say, a lot of people from key of this is one of the 1st destinations to find some kind of say, shall to so many refugees are arriving here. also because the roads from here to the west to get out of the country are completely stuck. we drove that road yesterday in the opposite direction. and it's just one huge crafting cham so fleeing fast from the country from the capital is near is, is basically impossible. so a lot of people are, have to look for shelter in other places and the humanitarian situation. of course, also in these parts of your brain as is also deteriorating and about this i'm sure now by a gaster mirabella who died. she's a spokeswoman of the international red cross. and i want to ask her 1st about her humanitarian situation in mary jo. pull because yesterday the red cross was trying

to facilitate the humanitarian corridor and that failed. how urgent is the situation in mary, your pool and in full norfolk of how would you describe it? good morning, stephanie, rather humanitarian situation across the country, including my viewpoint is very dire. we see big movements, displacement of people fleeing to say for areas some of them. i've still stuck in shelters that i've backed without electricity, without water, without any food. when we go and distribute and some of the shelters in my duplex and swear, i mean people are so happy to see someone who's helping them. so i mean, i could describe the situation as catastrophic. yesterday this, sir unitarian carried off failed. why? well, this is a, this safe passage for civilians is are a guarantee under international humanitarian law. the i c, r. c. well,

comes or any initiative to offer list by to civilians are fleeing the conflict or wanting to leave areas where the hostilities are, are very, are big. so i mean, the parties are of the conflict of conflict are in negotiations. now both part you said blame me charter for his failure, right? the ukrainian sat there was simply no ceasefire. the russians were still shelling and russia blamed ukraine for blocking civilians leaving the city. well, in all cases, whether the, as the so called humanitarian corridors or safe passages agreed upon and the i, c, r c. it welcomes them and is willing to facilitate a movement of 1st civilians who wished to do to do so. but in any case, under international humanitarian law, civilians i'd protect civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected. oh, in that case,

the spokesman of the people's republic in done yet has sad this morning that it will happen to day. it's that true, will it happen today? we hope so. our teams already, they've been edited since yesterday. once an agreement based on a strictly humanitarian terms, is reached between the 2 parties. we ready to move to accompany those who wish to flee the areas quickly about civilian casualties. president buttons has there are no civilian casualties. what are you seeing? what is the red cross seeing here on the ground where the situation is difficult for it everywhere in ukraine or the easter but also in the west? as i said, the humanitarians conditions are very difficult for people who are struggling on various levels. most of them are in chapters owed on the road, and we call on all parties to protector civilians under international law.

thank you very much for joining us. these are unitarian curry doors do, says safe passage of civilians will become more and more urgent in the hours and days to come. because as the folks won't, wilburn up near red cross at the food is running out. what was running out the situation becomes dire and more dire every day. ok step will make sure keep us a crop across those developments in the coming days step as in line for us in minutes. yeah. visa, mastercard, say they're suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any credit card issued in the country can no longer be used and cards issues elsewhere won't work. in russia, the block applies world wine, they're the lightest companies to halt business in russia since the invasion of ukraine. economist mohammed hata 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 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 they said they have statistics show that around $850000.00 card issued every month if we're talking about the average of $800.00. so we're talking about $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 a gas, like petrol,

this are not in involved. they included in the and the sanctions. so there will be a movement, there will be 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 same effects on, on them. and it may triple a lot of businesses and us president joe biden has welcomed that decision by visa and mastercard during a phone call with ukraine's president fide and highlighted the actions taken by the us to raise the cost on moscow for its aggression on keep gabriel alexander has moved from washington dc, while the call apparently happened in the evening saturday night here washington time. the call lasted a little over 30 minutes, according to 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 he was short. it was only

about a paragraph or so the 2 leaders talked about security for ukraine and continued security support. on behalf of us talk to ukraine. i also talked about sanctions continuing ramping up of sanctions and bite and 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 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 have happened over the past week or so between president biden angel and ski. so 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, russian president vladimir, put him in while has warned any attempt by nato to establish a no fly zone over you. crime will be seen as an act of war. mohammed vow has more on what persian had to say was russia's warmer, she rages across ukraine. the verbal of 1st, 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 mostly shall. storm loosen 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, but any move in this direction will be viewed bath as the participation in the arm conflict. as you want to put in, made it clear, he wants ukraine to have a neutral status in the polar ballast between nato and russia. slick. we're this, he says, requires of demilitarised. you craig a little because it's western backers are intending to supply it with nuclear weapons. if not stopped. they will arm the 15th and from that thick and on from the very thick and rushes faith will be very different. because then our strategic enemy won't even need intercontinental ballistic missile through the they will have us at gunpoint righteous. how can we overlooked that to me? nor is 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. zeus ron vocalist royal, still not the. it's the landscape 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 european 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 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 and russia. because in his words, the u. k. has chosen to move to words that direct consultation with his country mohammed one additional could. vulcan is a former us ambassador to night. her, he says it is possible to have no fly zone and avoid making the situation was 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, or 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 key ever worked in your grains. 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 good respects is force if we show that we are present and determined and clear about our rules. he and more importantly, his military one understand that one of the things student definitely does not want is to draw the west into the war on the side of ukraine, even desperately wants to avoid that as me. so i think this is something we can do to support saving a great lives without escalating the one more than a 1000000 ukrainians have fled to neighboring countries to escape the fighting. but others have decided to stay behind to join local units to protect their country. al jazeera is hotter after hum at visited a village in denise pro region in east in ukraine, and spoke to one of those units under rows of eastern ukraine,

their dose taking their children to safety. an endless slug of cars trying to reach to close his border. it will take days in their dose, staying behind to defend their country. like these men, we met near the village of men. they know the forest well. they usually go hunting here, but now it's time to dig trenches. philip sand bags and build bunkers in case the russian soldiers will come their way. ah, there part of the locally form territorial defense units. they include season men like any k, not his real name. who 1st joined in 2016 to fight the pro russian separatists in the east of the country. yet as a new episode, the pope of that you're asking about our mood, if we really to defend ourselves after this treacherous invasion of ukraine, women, children, and the ugly suffering homes are bombed at night. of course, the army is very angry about that. if we didn't provoke and we didn't want the

school, they came to us and we are ready to answer. he hopes that the russians could be slowed down. but these handmade spikes with similar positions are being built a bit all over the ne provision and has become even more urgent now to have them completed. because the region has become the 1st off for those fleeing the russian advance from either the south or the north east of the country to honda. at the village, ludmilla is busy cooking 200 meals and the menu to day ross hearty soup that will be putting jaws and peek into the checkpoints, and trenches where her husband is also on duty. for some of these women, this war is hitting close to home. acela's son in law, is in the regular army on a front line. she can't reveal which in the room did that. my daughter is keeping busy like me,

just to not go crazy. it's our country. we have to protect it. we will leave by, it's hard. what can i do? we are all in the same boat. and what can i say about the soldiers who came to our country to kill us and pretend they didn't know that they have been here for more than 7 days. and i still don't my, back in the forest, the territorial defense gets ready for the cold night ahead. the russians are still far away. but this is a war of mistletoe rockets that are devastating cities and villages. and here, there are no signs of modern weaponry that could repel the onslaught. for most ukrainians, the only safe way is to go west and get as far as possible. but up did her meet algebra in eastern ukraine with tension simmering between russia and the west. vladimir putin has met israel's prime minister natalie bennett in moscow. he's the 1st foreign lady to visit potent since russian forces invaded decline last wake.

harry force it is in west jerusalem and found this update. it's happened on the jewish sabbath the time when you wouldn't expect a religiously observant prime minister, such as natalie bennett to travel. but there is a provision in the religion to do so. if human life is at stake, which is clearly the case here, what we're hearing from the prime minister's office in israel is that the 2 men spoke for 3 hours in the kremlin that they of course spoke about the conflict in ukraine that they spoke about, the israeli and jewish citizens in that country at risk. but also that they spoke about the situation in syria where of course, russia is heavily involved and where israel often carries out as strikes against iranian targets. and also about the iran nuclear deal to so fairly wide range of subjects over the course of 3 hours. the prime minister's office also telling us that this was done in coordination with united states and also with germany and

france. the russian offensive in ukraine could pose a challenge for efforts to restore the 2015 iran nuclear deal. russian foreign minister, a leverage is demanding a guarantee that sanctions imposed on a russia warrant effect. its trade with a run that broke says under the 2015 deal, russia and china were allowed to help around with it civilian nuclear program. and he says, russian investments shouldn't be obstructed and diplomatic. it is a james phase in vienna. he says, lever comments, worried diplomats involved in those negotiations. talks have been going on now for 11 months. the idea to reestablish the ra nuclear deal. it was president trumpet pulled out of it in 2016. he put tough sanctions on iran. iran then responded by pushing ahead with a nuclear program, getting much more sophisticated centrifuges and increasing greatly their knowledge

of how potentially to build a nuclear bomb. but in recent weeks, there has been progress. the talks have been continuing here in the last few days. they've gone on late in the night. the european envoys left vienna in the last 24 hours to go and consult with the capitals, with many believing a deal was very close. and that's why the comments of the russian foreign minister, a worrying for all involved in this process. he's now asking for guarantees that the sanctions have been put on russia are not going to affect rushes, trade, and relations with iran. it's a real span or in the works at the 11th hour negotiations. ah, hello, are you watching? the are these are the stories were following the sound. ukraine's president is called on his people to fight back and resist the russian in.
