which takes an unexpected terror very difficult to search for her. yeah. lisa, for a stray dog on al jazeera. ah . the red cross is the situation in east in ukraine in the city of mary paul is dia after a ceasefire collapses. ah, hello, i'm im liang when this is al jazeera alive from dough, also coming up, u. s. secretary of state antony blink and visits moldova, offering support to the former soviet state as it takes in thousands of refugees from ukraine while ukrainians. later, a lot of mi zalinski speaks to the u. s. president,

appealing for more military and financial support. and visa and mastercard, suspend operations in russia, becoming the latest corporations to stop business in the country. dia and catastrophic. that's how the red cross is describing the humanitarian situation in the besieged, ukrainian city of mary, a palm. a cargo was set up on saturday to allow civilians to leave. but it quickly fell apart after both sides accused one another of violating the temporary safe. i am the red cross says it must be re established urgently. so the 400000 people who lived there can leave. there are reports, the card may be re established later on sunday. step besson has more from the central city of the nape. sia where many people have fled from the capital. keith,

the situation is very nervous, very at g at the moment with the russian forces closing in on to your, from the north, but also circling the city are trying at least there's a lot of concern here that there are advance ropes here infiltrating among the population so it is a lot of 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 their 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 traffic jams. so fleeing fast from the country from the capital is, is, is basically impossible. so a lot of people have to look for shelter in other places and the human terry and situation, of course, also in these parts of your brain is also deteriorating. and about this joy now by

a guest who she's a spokeswoman of the international red cross. and i want to ask her 1st about the humanitarian situation in your book. because yesterday, the red cross was trying to facilitate the human a terry and car door that failed. how urgent is the situation in mara, yoko, and in full norfolk or how would you describe it? good morning, stephanie. you many, cherry and situation across the country including minute very dire, receive big move, movement displacement of people seem to say for areas. some of them are stuck and shelters that back without electricity, without water, without any food. when we go and distribute and some of the shelters in multiplan elsewhere, 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 unitarian corridor

fails. why? well, this is a, this safe message for civilians is a guarantee under international humanitarian law. the i c. r. c welcomes or any initiative to offer respite to, to civilians are fleeing the conflict or wanting to leave areas where the hostilities are, are very a big. so i mean, the parties are of the conflict of conflict are in negotiations. now both part you said blame each other for his failure. right? the ukranian 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, weather is the so called humanitarian corridors. are safe passages agreed upon and the i, c, r. c. it welcomes them and is willing to facilitate

a movement of 1st civilians who wish to do to do so. but in any case, under international humanitarian law, civilians are protect civilians and civilians research and must be protected. or in that case, the spokesman of the people's republic in gun yet has sad this morning that it will happen to day. is that true? will it happen today? we hope so. our teams already they've been edited since yesterday once an agreement based on strictly humanitarian terms is reached between the 2 parties. we are 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 and the easter but also in the, in the west? or as i said, the humanitarians conditions,

i've very difficult if people are struggling and various levers, most of them are in chapters owed on the road, and we call on all parties to protector civilians under international humanity. ok, let's bring in natasha butler, who's following developments from a living. hello there. natasha. what more you hearing about possible humanitarian car doors being set up, what we know is those humanitarian corridors were supposed to be set off on saturday or in and around the town of mario pole on the sea of as of but because of continued fighting, they were unable to be implemented now, both ukraine and russia have blamed each other for the fact that a temporary cease fire was failed to be put in place, allowing people then to use those corridors to be evacuated off a vital a to,

to get in. and now we understand there are some efforts to look at whether or not those corey doors could be set up. but we don't have a much detail about those at this stage. but what we do know is, of course, the humanitarian situation on the ground is absolutely dire. in some places in murray or poll, the mer of that city. a said a couple of days ago, the russian shelling means that his city was being absolutely destroyed. he has spoken about people being cut off from vital necessities, water, electricity, heating. it is extremely cold. it's hard to imagine how people are managing to survive in those conditions. they are huddled in basements, they are frightened, they can't go out because of this constant bombardment and they don't have enough food or medicine. that is why these corridors are so important, such a key priority. but for the time being, they simply do not exist. and people are effectively trapped in places like mary

paul, but also in the northeast to the 2nd largest city in ukraine hoc eve has also come under intense shelling. it's another city in which people are saying that they are running out of food and medicine. and kang and natasha another element. negotiations which are scheduled for tomorrow between cavan, moscow. what not. what more do you know about those talks? all we know is the term talks are expected to take place between russian and ukrainian negotiators on monday would be as the 3rd round of talks between the 2 sides. the last round of talks was on thursday. when negotiators are met on the bell, russian, ukrainian border. now a, during those talks, there were no major breakthroughs in terms of perhaps a trying to find ways to end this conflict. but the 2 sides had agreed on

implementing these humanitarian corridors. but as i've said so far, it seems that both sides have been unable to put those curry doors in place. you'd imagine the how to get people out how to put those corridors in place. that is going to be a priority of those talks, at least for the ukrainian side as they go into those talks on monday. but hopes for any other form of breakthrough are extremely low. we heard from ukraine's foreign minister to meet you to metro caliber or he spoke her after some a meeting with antony blink in the u. s. secretary of state on saturday on the polish ukrainian border. he said, look, it is important that talks continued is important to have diplomacy, but his hopes are very low for any breakthroughs. and we already know that the president of ukraine for a lot of me, as zalinski has said in the past, look, in order to, to move forward with any real diplomacy. russia has to withdraw its troops. in his words, you cannot have talks when someone is holding a gun to your head. he has plenty of moving parts from

a humanitarian and diplomatic perspective. thank you for that update. natasha battle alive for us in levine. me well you are a secretary of state antony blank and is in moldova said talks as the former soviet stained faces, a surge of refugees from ukraine. lincoln is expected to provide reassurances and american support to one of europe's poorest countries. on saturday, he was in poland. where hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have crossed the border . the un predicts the number of people flaying the war, could reach one and a half 1000000 in a matter of hours. zane of as ravi reports from medical border crossing on the polish side of the ukrainian border. are you not thought us put the boyish job but you have a robot plus weeds a craven ab on that of korean. good. last cause little beats and the high number don't close the skies over ukraine now, she says with her to stop russian bombs falling on their cities. that i am. are you

more please close the sky for ukraine. help us yell on a desperate plea from the ukrainian people. something that you are 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 colleagues, do 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 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 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. so that 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 have been seeing here is 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 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. st. basra, the older 0 medical border crossing eastern poland still head on al jazeera, why the iran and nuclear told us could face new challenges in the wake of rushes more on ukraine. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle. it weighs it

much of europe. it's cold in court at the moment. not a cloud around. you might think much, it is low making skies rather dismal temperatures are low because nothing's really moving into. these is rather large area of high pressure. so you've got water to give it to, sorry for any one degree. these are a bit below where they should be. there is some action and the atlantic go down in spain across to the balkans. this is where the cross stormy with, i suppose is, but the winds picking up in eastern europe attempts to come up in a low. so i think induce a few light snow showers. this persistent snow and persistent rain, though further south. first of all, in the southeast of spain, that was rain near alley, candidate carries on through monday as well. and spreads into north africa was tempted on the low side rout. jerry rocker. and to nicea and snow persists in sarajevo, at least until tuesday. and the sun should be a bit more dominant during wednesday, still a cold day. and because that cold and stormy stuff is so close to north africa is

inducing quite a spin up in algeria. and in libya, that means sand storms and combined with that sound storms in the south, you'll see rain starting to form a significant turn stretching from libya into egypt on tuesday. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always talk to al justina. we also do you believe that the threat of an invasion of ukraine is currently the biggest threat international peace and security? we listen, we are focusing so much on the humanitarian crisis that we forget the long term development we meet with global news makers. i'm talked about the stall restock matter on al jazeera. here are some of the media stories of critical look at the global news media spread it on al jazeera government shutoff access to social media . ah

ah. hello, you're watching al jazeera, i mainly angland. reminder of that. up stories this out. the red cross is called the humanitarian situation. in the ukranian city of mario po, dia, and catastrophic. a carto was set up on saturday to allow civilians to evacuate, but it quickly fell apart. there are reports, it may be re established on some day. u. s. secretary of state antony blink, him is in moldova said, talks is the country faces a surge of paper flame. you crying. lincoln is expected to provide support for its efforts to receive and the seats refugees ukrainian president villa, me zalinski has spoken to you as president joe biden by farm. they discussed security, financial support and sanctions on moscow. it comes as the fighting intensifies in

several cities across ukraine during a hollow fall. 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 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 as he 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 it defenses 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. oh, and in the north, a russian warplane is down the wreckage smouldering among suburban homes. for those who do make it out of the 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 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, dimmer, 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 for a tech to see tim. moscow says it, he's not attacking civilian targets. the 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 country in places like have so on, but the ask and on the route 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, 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, how al jazeera believe. visa and 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 issued elsewhere warrant work in russia. the block applies worldwide. they are the latest companies to hope business in russia since its invasion of ukraine. economists mohamed how to says the decision by the visa and 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 that did the city of statistics. it showed 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 sectors, 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 a damage, you know, for the financial institutions or 4 or 4 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 and the u. s. president has welcome to that decision by visa, mastercard. during a phone call with ukraine's president and joe biden, highlighted the actions taken by the us to raise the cost on moscow for it's the question on cave. gabriel alexander found this report from washington dc. well, 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 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 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 have 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. russian president let him in person has warned any attempt by nato to establish and no flies on either ukraine will be seen as an act of war. mohammed vow has more on what version and 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 an allusion, 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 country little humid putting made it clear he once you claim to have a neutral status in the polar ballast between nato and russia, look, 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 moth alpha. they will have us at gunpoint. right? yes. how can we overlooked that to me? 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. zeus ron vocalist royal for still not the. it's the landscape 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 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 leverage 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 work at direct confrontation with his country. mohammed, one additional with change in simmering between russia and the west burden has made israel's prime minister, left tally bennett. in moscow is the 1st foreign leader to visit persian, since russian forces invaded ukraine. last wait, sherry force, it is in west jerusalem and found the something it's happened on the jewish sabbath

of a 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, or which is, is clearly the case. here are 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 of it also that they spoke about the situation in syria where of course, russia is heavily involved and where israel are often carries out air strikes against iranian targets. and also about the iran nuclear deal to south 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 run nuclear yield. russian foreign ministers, laboratories, demanding a guarantee that sanctions imposed on russia won't affect its trade with iran. leverage says under the 2015 deal, russia and china were allowed to help iran with its civilian nuclear program. and he says, russian investments shouldn't be obstructed and diplomatic. it is a james based in vienna. he says lebron's comments, a warrior diplomat involved in the negotiations talks have been going on now for 11 months. the idea to reestablish the ra nuclear deal. it was president trump, the 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 of gold in this process. he's now asking for guarantees that the sanctions have been put on russia not going to affect russia's trade and relations with iran. it's a real spanner in the works. at the 11th hour negotiations. ah, hello you, what you know there these are the stories were following the sound. the red cross is called the humanitarian situation in the ukrainian city of mary paul dia, and catastrophic. a carto was set up on saturday to allow civilians to evacuate, but a quickly fell apart.
