oh jesus oh, with national chapel. ah, another attempt to move civilians from southeastern ukraine, a ceasefire has been declared in the besieged city of mary pope. oh, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera alive from dough house coming up, brushes president warn sanctions could amount to a declaration of war, and raises questions about the future of ukraine statehood. while a visa mastercard suspend operations in russia becoming the latest corporations to

stop business in the country, we begin with the latest on the russian invasion of ukraine. another attempt is being made to evacuate civilians from the besieged, ukrainian city of mario pope. a cargo was set up on saturday to allow civilians to leave the city. but it quickly fell apart after both sides accused the other violating the temporary cease fire. the humanitarian corridor will allow people to leave from mary pole for the city of separate z a. they will be able to drive in their own castle, take a bus earlier. russia warned that people will not be allowed to deviate from this route. for more on this, so let's bringing that child stratford, who's in that separate sia, which is where many ukrainian so trying to flee the fighting a mel end up their child. tell us a little bit more about where you are and what you've been witnessing

were about 30 kilometers south of zachary just city and the road that you can see behind me is the road that got willing we in the coming hours could well see private vehicles and buses taking people from mary awful in that direction to zap rouge's city. now, when we arrived here about half an hour ago, that was no sound of shelling and that's changed in the last 510 minutes or so. we are hearing what sounds like shelling to the south west of us, which we believe could well be around the town of us to live go her, which again is a south of as upper asia and that started about half an hour after a statement was made by the spokesperson for the self declared donates peoples republics militia. mangold edward was sorry and who said that said the ukrainian side, ukrainian military would not complying with their side of this cease fire agreement

. however, we do know that there have a number of buses have arrived inside marable. ready city, we've seen photographs of them, so we understand that at least the evacuation attempt is still on going. we've also seen a number of buses say 20 or so buses in as operations. we spoke to drivers of those buses. they were planning on going down to mariel, they were taking humanitarian aid, food and water wisdom. they were awaiting instructions to move from average a city. now, the road without checkpoints, in any normal day, this kind of journey would probably take about 2 and a half, 3 hours. but of course, this is a war zone. we understand that the russian policies are only around 30 kilometers to the south of here. so it's not going to be a journey without complications. we've spoken to people inside mario poll today. we spoke to a member of the paramilitary groups there, one of the crane empowerment groups that he's described or re worrying scenes em.

busy all for an air areas of the city without electricity, without water still overnight, ongoing shelling, we know from the west of the city, the russian forces that pushed in from the west. and there were pro russians separatists trying to pushing from the east. we know that mario pole is hugely strategic of both sides. a port city of huge to see, to can poems on the as off see if the russian forces were to take control of this city. that it would create a land corridor from the separate is controlled areas to the crimea, and then by default into russia, because the crimea is attached to a to russia by a bridge. we also know that the fight by murray awful in the past has been very heavy. indeed, it's a, it's a city that certainly reclining force is very proud of having pushed in 2014 separatist fighters out. it is a city with a lot of weapons in it,

a lot of ukrainian military and as i say, a lot of paramilitary. so it's perhaps unsurprising that we've heard these reports and seen these really disturbing pitches of such heavy fighting in the city. as i say, a worry worrying sounds that we're beginning to hear in this area, at least of shelling, starting what kind of impact that we'll have on this. the 2nd attempt to the humanitarian cordele will have remains to be seen, but wanting to assure there will be many, many terrified people in mariel as we speak desperate to get out of town. so make sure you keep us updated as to how the coming hours progress child stafford line for us near the city of separate yeah, let's head to levine now. where jenna hall is standing by another pre recorded message has been released by ukrainian president zalinski. and what did he have to say gina at the

present seems to be suggesting that in his assessment, all ukrainian assessments, the russians are about to start bombing the port city of a desa desa down in the deep south of the country to the west of crimea, it is not immediately clear what exact changes on the ground he may be referring to . to come up with that assessment. it has been in the air for days now that the, the possibilities there that the russian forces moving up, extending their gains north of crimea through san, and onwards through the town of mich alive, may well try to double back on a desa and join up with a naval landing from elements of the black sea feet that have been hovering on the horizon there for several days. as i said, that's been talked about whether he's referring to specific intelligence or not, is not clear, but certainly any move on. odessa would be very strategically significant for the russians and very damaging for the ukrainians. it is by far away the biggest port city in ukraine, a city of a 1000000 people, the biggest commercial shipping for the city,

and attacking or potentially taking odessa, including other ports on the black sea coast. like mario full is that you've been hearing a pat dance as well, would effectively turn you crate into a landlocked country. so a very significant development that could be here's what president lensky had to say on this or this. they are planning to bombard odessa. the russians always used to come to a diss, and they felt only warmth, only sincerest day, sir. and now bombs, coming against odessa artillery missiles. this is going to be a war crime historic crime now apart from potential development surround odessa, apart from the developments charles was talking about in mary paul and with the humanitarian convoy just to give you a little situational awareness of the rest of the country. intelligence reports coming from western intelligence agencies, including particularly the british on sunday,

seem to continue to believe that russia's advance on the ground in other places is increasingly frustrated, frustrated by logistical and support problems by mechanical breakdown by low morale among troops. many of them conscripts, teenagers, some of whom, it appears from captured, reports have not even been told that they were on their way to war. and as well as that ukrainian resistance, particularly attacking supply lines, produce military intelligence, released their report this morning saying that russia has tended to respond to those stalled elements on the ground to that element of being bogged down on the ground with increasingly heavy artillery strikes. and air strikes on bigger and bigger populated urban centers, which is why we continue to see reports of attacks in germany, even the north car keys to the east. mario paul as well, of course, and those sort of dormitory suburban centers to the north and west of the capital kia, including the latest reports coming out of a place called airplane, where russian forces to 5 it is reported on escaping civilians. some of them

fleeing keys through a route that takes them through pain. and the latest report says suggest 3 killed there, including 2 children shopping reports. and we appreciate you bringing up to speed with all of the different elements as a way general, how live for us in living. thank you. us secretary of state antony blinkin is in moldova, and talks. as a former soviet state faces, a search of refugees from ukraine, lincoln is providing reassurances and american support. one of europe, sports countries, tens of thousands of ukrainian refugees have already streamed into moldova, which is putting a strain on the countries social services. the last, anyone or anyone, it was a world, especially one that is totally unnecessary, totally unprovoked, and i'm afraid, meditated. and so the consequences as you point out go beyond your training. they

go beyond even your friends neighbors. they are the fact that blows because this is having an impact on everything that we actually need to be doing and should be doing. and like you, we want to see it brought to the school. it is possible, concluded name up president, let me zalinski has spoken to us president joe biden by the farm they discuss security, financial support, and sanctions on moscow. gabriel elizondo fall this report from washington d. c. well, 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,

the 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 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 readout, 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 he. 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. ukraine president has also spoken to israel's prime minister by phone. the conversation comes a day after the tale. bennett met vladimir putin in moscow for more on this element and springing harry force that he joined us from west jerusalem with more on those talks. harry, what's israel's in game? well, israel says that it wants to broker to help bring an end to the conflict to act as a mediator. and that is why we saw natalie bennett. do this very rare thing for religious, the observant jew, which is to travel during the sabbath, to moscow, to have these talks with president putin. and in the last 24 hours within the last days. now spoken 3 times to president lensky of ukraine. so does that suggest that there is something of real substance at stake here as

a result of his talks in moscow with putin? i think that's a bit of a stretch. at this point, even he prime minister bennett was playing down such chance of saying that we have to be realistic that the opportunities here a small that it's impossible to it is important to mediate. and that even if there are small chances of success, there is a moral obligation to act. he had been under some criticism both here at home and abroad for not coming up much more forcefully against the russian invasion. not even mentioning the word russia. when talking about the situation in ukraine, his defense has been to try to be this relatively neutral country with good ties to both of the nations involved in this war and be a mediator. there is also a separate question on the refugee issue. the latest figures are that more than 2000 ukrainians have now arrived in israel seeking refuge the immigrate, the interior minister rather shak good. she has been talking about how only 10

percent of those people qualify for the jewish law of return, which allows any you anywhere in the world to have is ready, citizenship saying that it's on sustainable on these levels that there could be $15000.00 people arriving within the next month, the preponderance of opinion within the country, those to be much more generous in terms of receiving people who are in the middle of this war and trying to get out of it. and so there is some criticism on that front as well. the prime minister is saying that a policy needs to be formulated this week. all right, thanks for writing it down for us harry force at live press in west jerusalem till a head on al jazeera. why the iran and nuclear talks could face new challenges in the way to all the rushes war with ukraine. ah, ah,

look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored by cut on airways, it's still very obviously winter in northern japan. this is a big winter storm actually, but it's spinning through the forecasts among these though a cold one. rather a sunny one, particularly in support. a few snow showers left in hong she tuckers, as sheltered, 14, than most charged in the sunshine with temper is slowly on the rise. the rain that was falling throughout sunday in the south has been moved off the shores, affecting tar one. but it's left hong kong of $23.00, mostly sunny degrees. this rain showing up in me and my and thailand, that's the same stuff that reaches eventually taiwan. but then it breaks off from the baseband goalies dry. the remains of the tropical cycling. this is monday, get into town, either giving you a few shots and relaxed, but i think it's going to fall apart is currently a storm. you can see clearly it's not by this time. there are a few. sharon found off of india and pakistan snow or rain hoping to improve the

quality the significance now in the north of afghanistan and in the mountains of iran and look at this orange bloom here. this is because much of the ground is drawn as every time you pick up a seasonal wind. it fills the air with dust, sometimes sand, the red beam, potentially they apart from that is pretty warm. oh, the weather sponsored by casara ways. no hiring hunt is a 2000000, stray dogs, many in a terrible state, al jazeera well fellows, those helped me to save them. and the remarkable journey to rescue lady august all the way from egypt after have a good role be better to do it. which takes an unexpected turn. very difficult to search for her room. yeah, visa for a stray dog on al jazeera lou

. ah, hello, are you watching al jazeera? i'm emily younger. no minder of our top stories this alum. another attempt is being made to evacuate civilians from the ukrainian city of mary a palm. a cardo was set up on saturday, but back fell apart. after both sides accused the other of violating a temporary cease fire. ukrainian president folemi zalinski claims russian forces and preparing to shall at the city of odessa. the black sea port is home to a 1000000 people and he's a major tourism in trade. um and you as secretary of state antony blink and has played to support the people of moldova as the country faces a search with paypal: flame ukraine. all right, let's head noun to just

a me i in the west of ukraine. that's where our correspondent state vassal joins us from step. we can say some severe damage behind you. what has the city been facing? i'm here at the high school number 25, and she told me it. and that's actually just west of her, the capital kia, and i'm here at what's left of the school basically friday morning, around 9 a. m. there was what seems to be an air strike right here in the middle of the city at the school. it's a high school, low hundreds of for students study here. but luckily at the time of the s, right, there were no children inside. but there were some teachers and people who work at the school, they were here. they were in the basement. people who are for witness the strike, they told me that that some children, the sleep here at night because it's

a safe place. this was considered a safe place, so they were here at night. but in the morning day, luckily left. but as you can see, i'm going to take you inside. now the school is completely destroyed. it was an enormous explosion. people say it, the city center was shaking. and when this happened, and it's a residential area and if not, military installations in a nearby ukrainian forces are not based here. they are in a different part of the city, but not here. there was a 2nd strike as well, which was near the base, but it also missed the hip near a hospital and a residential area. what i've heard is 4 people died there, including a small child. and this was near a new born unit in that hospital the, all the new borns are taken to. there were dozens of them inside. and luckily they all survived, but the whole building was she can. so this is clearly

a residential area. it's a school, of course, the russian government has so far, she'll denied that residential area from being hit and civilians died during the war. this invasion is certainly erie scenes. thank you for showing us that those pitches get back and live pressing the west of ukraine. the red cross is supporting the evacuation from mary palm. it describes conditions there as catastrophic humanitarian situation. a country, including my viewpoint, is very dire. we see big movements, displacement of people fleeing to say for areas. some of them are still stuck in shelters it back without electricity, without water, without any food. when we go and distribute and some of the shelters in my tuple and elsewhere, i mean people are so happy to see someone who's helping them. so i mean,

i could describe the situation as catastrophic this. this message for civilians is a guarantee under international humanitarian law. the i c, r. c. welcome. any initiative to offer respite to, to civilians are fleeing the conflict or wanting to leave areas where the hostilities are very big, many ukrainians, flying to poland al jazeera. and as robbie is at a border crossing between ukraine and poland, he spoke to the un high commissioner for refugees and began by asking about how the war is impacting people. it's very difficult to even listen to their stories. days and days of travel in the cold from their bomb cities to seek safety here in poland, i saw the same 2 days ago in moldova. in romania it's all over but poland

this is taking the brunt of this enormous avalanche of people. 1.5000000, as you said, just today we reach this terrible figure. and what we also hear is that hundreds of thousands are on the move. so, and this is the prediction of the border guards here, who by the way, are doing a very good job. and they predict that the flow will increase not decrease in the next few days, and perhaps beyond. now as you said, 1500000 people have already crossed. it hasn't even been 2 weeks. your prediction of 4000000 you were saying earlier might be too small in estimation. and it is a country of more than $40000000.00 people, a country that is currently under siege. what are your long term predictions for what might happen, or how much worse do you think it's going to get? is there any way to plan for it? it really depends on the conflict. if bombs continue to rain on cities,

people will leave the yesterday or the day before i can't even remember in moldova . many people told me that they were leaving odessa all. this is not under attack because the sirens started. the a resounding and they're so afraid that they leave. so it really depends on that. that's why it's so important. here is a lot of talk about humanitarian corridors. that's very important. we are in my organization like others are in ukraine, will participate in any such operation to bring any relief to anybody who is trapped in the cities. but we need more than that. we need is his fire. we need a cessation of hostilities. russian president vladimir titian has warned any attempt by nato to establish no flies own over ukraine will be seen as an act of war. mohammed vow has more on what pritton 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 miss lucian, storm newton as you are now, we are here in 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 of human footing made it clear he wants ukraine to have a neutral status in the polar bellows between nato and russia slick, we're this he says requires of demilitarized 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 further. they will have us at gunpoint righteous . how can we overlooked that? you may notice 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 laughed rav had some harsh words for the ukrainian president, zeus ron douglas, 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. opin. 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 economy commissioner. the west is imposing in this city. god, president, put in, says western sanctions are akin to a declaration of war on his country. for a minister of ro 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. russia. because in his words, the u. k. has chosen to move to words that direct confrontation with his country. mohammed one additional visa, mastercard, say this is spending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any credit card issued in the country can no longer be used. and cards issued elsewhere won't work in russia. the block applies world wine. they are the latest companies to hope business in russia since it's invasion of ukraine. alice damien is a professor of financial economy at left for a university. he thinks economic sanctions against russia will not stop this. all. it actually shows that private companies, banks, in this case, the card association of they're actually taking their own action. they're not waiting for governments to say you can do this. you can't do that. they're just drawing back from russia completely. so i think this is one of many examples of the

private sector sanctioning russia a visa, mastercard that primarily used for personal spending. so you know, it shops and restaurants and travel, that kind of thing. so it's, it's going to further impact on the hospitality in the restaurant industry and travel industries in russia. and it's gonna have a big effect on the middle classes who used as services were employed by the services. but i don't see a very direct effect on the military machine. the military machine and in russia is not very externally dependent. doesn't need external financing in the long run. it needs technology from the west, but they've been planning this invasion of the 10 years. they've got, they've become food secure, they grow more grain and they need they eat, they can keep this will going for months if not. yeah. as, without, without sanction, directly affecting it. the russian offensive in ukraine could pose a challenge for efforts to restore the 2015 iran nuclear. do russian foreign

minister laboratories demanding a guarantee that sanctions imposed on russia. one to fact, its trade with iran. lab 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. those over lunch are very few and sung . see the catalogs of aggressive sanctions that started to erupt from the west and hasn't finished yet in my understanding requires reflection 1st of all by the lawyers. and we want to receive a very precise response. guarantees that the sanctions won't by any means effect on the mode of trade, economic and investment corporation with iran on the nuclear program that we've requested. the american colleagues, as they rule here, to give us written guarantees at least at the level of the secretary of state. so that the current process launched by the united states will not by any means affect our rights for a free and full fledged trade. economic,

military and investment cooperation with iran. and mohammed mirandi is an advisor to be ron delegation in vienna. he says, ron needs clarification about lab robes, comments yesterday, in relation to that nuclear ill the iranians are waiting for verification from the russians because there were some comments made by other russian representatives. and it's not quite clear exactly what the russians mean. if it is linked to the actual implementation of the j. c. p s, especially with regards to the iranian nuclear program itself. that is relevant because the russians play a role in resolving issue. they will be dealing with enrich uranium and other elements of the nuclear program. so we're,

we're still waiting for clarification, but at the same time, the negotiations on to over anyway, we are still waiting also for the americans to respond to a number of issues that need to be resolved in order for the j. c, p. o a to be revives because the writings expect a full implementation of the j. c. p. o, a. and over the last few months that we've had negotiations been dragging their feet. and finally we are getting there. but we're still not there. ah, hello. you're watching al jazeera, these, the stories were following this hour. another attempt is being made to evacuate civilians from the iranian city of marion home. a car was set up on saturday, but that fell apart after both sides accused the other violating the temporary sate farm. that humanitarian cargo will allow people to leave from mary paul for the.
