5:09 am
a few kilometers from the latest front line. but as smith is there in 8 years of fighting in east new crane, the front lines did not change. now in less than 2 weeks, separatist fighters from don yet can lou ganske with russian support are making significant inroads into ukrainian held territory. but it seems it's not beneath his grandma, but you know, of others that there is too many opponents and the constant fierce fighting. we are under constant pressure, but i can't say we have suffered a lot of casualties, but our guys are under fire all the time. when we came here, we thought there wouldn't be much resistance. bogus is one of a dozen towns and villages to look ganske and the nets. courses say they've seized so far. the people here said they had no electricity, heat, or water for 10 days. they've only emerged from their bomb shelters for the food handed out by the next sco forties party. but why can you give me some flowers? this woman asks you what we've so many more women in the basement. she says,
5:10 am
this village is along the humanitarian corridor that was supposed to allow people to leave the city a vulnerable, which is surrounded by forces from russia and in the front line has moved about sort of a few kilometers to my left towards vulnerable. but it remains a very dynamic environment. there is still a constant sound of shelling. so although they're supposed to be a sci fi, there is still firing, going on. and it's going to be an enormous challenge for the people who want to leave a vulnerable to make it here. certainly along the road we came and on there was still clearly an active battlefield grad rockets landed just a few meters from our convoy as we headed to bull gas. the people here i've been living with conflict like this, the 8 years piece piece piece. we only want peace,

5:12 am
people here on friday morning still echoes in their ears. people were still in their best when 2 rockets had been neighbourhood and she told me it down 150 kilometers away from keith residence ran for cover as houses collapse to the shelling larissa 2 sheep guy brushed to find medical treatment for her 3 injured children. the youngest of them being 3 years old, relative, nice with something came down in our neighborhood. i don't know what it was, a bomb. it destroyed the whole street to people died young mothers, they have small children. we all lost our homes. all this is a gift from our brothers who became our enemies. if this is susan rawlson. nobody knows exactly how many civilians have died since russia invaded ukraine. some say 100 others 1000. the main threat coming from this guy living miss, our strike was caught on camera on sunday, just before flattened to civilian airport. infiniti or
5:13 am
a town that had been mostly spared so far. ukrainian authority say there was no military equipment inside. in the city center, she told me a not a civilian target. rocket smashed into high school number 25. there were no classes that day because of the war. a group of teachers were rescued from the basement where they were hiding. after the air rates, island went off at school completely in ruins, and not a military installation. no ukrainian forces are nearby, despite denials by the russian government, this war is increasingly causing death and injury among civilians. people who just 10 days ago could not have imagined to become victims in a full scale invasion shaken by the attacks. many residents are moving out of the city, leaving squares empty and soft closed. but natalia's pal sofa says she is staying sale in my city. this is the 1st big destruction and i saw it with my own eyes. there is no military object, as russia says,
5:14 am
i thought it would be impossible to feel more have that it is possible. we will never forget this and we will pass this hatred to next generation. and so i am staying here. this is my land, my country. and even if they enter my city, i will kill them with my bands, nurses and on the edge residence of she told me, i have one request to the international community. krinski loaded them did not suppose ukrainian society has been united. this is not only a threat to our country, it's a threat to the whole world. please close the sky. we can stand as human shields against tanks. but we cannot do anything against rockets that fall from the sky. and she told me the blue yellow ukrainian flag is still flying high at the city square, but with russian forces approaching from the north, may not be long before the city witnesses. a fierce fight for its control steadfast and al jazeera. she told me the credit authorities having trouble reach you stuff it. nuclear plants is off to fighting,
5:15 am
broke out in separation on friday. the u. n says that facility is under russian control and access to mobile networks and the internet has been caught. communication has also been lost with staff at a plant using radioactive material in mario poll, as well as with personnel, a chin noble. the international topic energy agency says it's extremely concerned. let's take this on. we can speak to bennett, ram back, who's in los angeles. he's an expert on nuclear proliferation was run by welcome to the program at so according to the international atomic energy agency. what's happening is, appalachia is in complete contravention of international protocols, phone networks, down as i say, the russians are issuing orders. how concerned are you willing to, i'm very concerned about the us of the safety of these are in compliance or fortunately in the case of that particular facility, it was not subject to having arms attack. but nonetheless, the operations of atlanta is critical of the stability to plan is critical and
5:16 am
action. so it could happen. i understand the rushes may be turning another facility . and the concern i have is any, any committed to check on a nuclear plant who released its radioactive elements and the environment. and you'd have a, in the worst case it should over once on steroids. indeed, the ukraine has, i understand 15 that nuclear power react is at 4 sites. it realistically, what are the chances of the react themselves being compromised because they are very well protected only? well, no, and it depends on the, on the attack. it could say, for example, if you have nearest right, where chillin striking facility that burst in containment, there's big film over the reactor, and cooling lines are compromised. you can have a major release of radio active elements through the puncture, or you can have a release of gases or pressure the containment down and release to radioactive elements. and then, or said, even though this, we're talking about the worst case and we're say,
5:17 am
you're not going to have the firemen and 1st responders. they're available to deal with the catastrophe that could occur. mind you, if the worst we're doing gauging is activity, the reader actually plume that would be generated from a plant or plants would migrate. vaster is a rush itself. there would be black blow back. i would strongly recommend the russians do not treat these plans. keep the plan so under the operational ukrainian authorities low on manage these facilities and the rest of the timing industry agency in fact, and stipulated that there are not be any body within 30 kilometers of these nuclear facilities. i wouldn't certainly understand. right. so you would think that that, that they would be rushes plan not to target the, the sites themselves because as you say, they would become victims of the right direction. there bri, amongst others, radiation to observe national borders, does it at. but so why then, are they targeting these plans? is it just because they all power plants and they are always a target in wal this history about targeting plants in war
5:18 am
leaving that aside for the moment, i would imagine one of the reasons they might be charged any want to take these plans offline. they, they can take the plans offline, is to cut the electricity municipalities, and so with, without electricity flowing to homes, you factories to any, any entity in the municipalities across you crate at these plants service by cutting them off. you're going to cut off the ability of these, of these community to function effectively. so these plans are key plans are students that they provide for 40 to 50 percent of the countries energy, the nuclear plants and the reason. now personally, in the tech, it's a place again, was not a major when i called connecticut tech and the plan. so radioactive elements were not compromised, least based on the information we have with looking forward no matter what the expectations are of the russians. but these plans should be avoided at all costs
5:19 am
are a deb, ms ram back. appreciate your expertise. said thanks very much indeed for that. that's been it ran back speaking to mr. thank you. thank you. well, oil prices of salt, almost a $140.00 per barrel. that's the highest since 2008 is the u. s. that its allies consider and embargo moscow. russia is the world's 3rd biggest exporter at 7000000 barrels a day. and that's fair and embargo could result in the price rising to $200.00 a barrel. the secretary of state entity blink him as pledge to support moldova. that faces a surge of people fling ukraine. while there was president says the country needs help from the international community to cater for the 250000 refugees. you've arrived so far. so heart has this report a show of solidarity is moldova calls for international support. your secretary of states is visiting one of your ex poorest and smallest countries that shares the border with ukraine in the 30 years
5:20 am
since moldova, united face began to provide relations. we've never faced the moment as urgent and as challenging as the one that we face today. russia's unprovoked, unwarranted war on ukraine has kicked off monitoring crisis that is already having as, as the fact across the region, including here in the republic mold over. moldova didn't choose to be involved, but these are the implications of a war on its doorstep. nearly a quarter of a 1000000 people have crossed its quarter from ukraine in just 10 days. the 2nd largest number of refugees off the poland, moldova warned its fast running out of options to keep up with the influx, which is expected to rise in the coming days. like me, it was only 3 joint and consistent efforts from all the partners we can help you crane. first of all, we need rapid assistance and involvement with the international community to stop the battle and restore the piece the international monetary fund is considering
5:21 am
mall. dave is request to make changes to its existing. i messed supported programs to help the refugees bought. mold overs concerns, don't stop there. it faces a security threat on its eastern border. russian back separatists control the region of trans nice via the dispute. a territory has its own government currency and around 6000 paratroopers since it for 2 bits of civil war with moldova in 1990 . 2 sponsored isn't recognized internationally and russia has repeatedly ignored cause to remove around 1500 of its troops who've been station there ever since. the area also has was his thought to be one of the biggest amunition deposed in eastern europe. there is a fundamental disagreement within the vans and trucks and leadership, and this is the path, the development path that they want to show more over all the declared that it's wanted to integrate economically with europe. and that's why i was thinking
5:22 am
membership for the tea and union and trying to was seeking alignment with russia. alignments, made clear on thursday, when mold over in georgia, followed ukraine's footsteps and applied to join the european union process in the making for years at false track in just a matter of days thought a height at algebra, one curse, one timbers robberies following the refugee situation at a border crossing between ukraine and poland, he spoke to philip her grand a, the united nations high commissioner for refugees. 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
5:23 am
enormous avalanche of people. 1.5000000, as you said, just today will reach this terrible figure. and the 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 continued to rain on cities, people will leave the yesterday or the day before. i can't even remember in moldova,
5:24 am
many people told me that they were leaving or decile door. 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 cases 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 far we need a cessation of hostilities. the neighbor that brought beach new york is one of the largest concentrations of russians in the united states. and on sunday, the community gathered to protest against the war in ukraine, which many say has left them angry and filled with grief. gabriel alexander has a story. protests against russia's invasion of ukraine have filled
5:25 am
city streets around the world. well, did those things go or see, but this one feels different. it is russians protesting against russia. i feel devastated. i feel mad. i feel helpless. every day i wake up, i read the news, i cry, i have family in russia and ukraine. and i, i just, i feel awful. just here in new york, there are an estimated 500000 russian speaking immigrants. and most of them live here in this neighborhood of brooklyn, at this protest, they are all united on one mission to end the war. when i see people's blood people do yours, was a good idea. was the russians who are in russia the order,
5:26 am
they don't see the reality. they think that this is all like a funny movie. it's not 2 people need to know the 2 bits. it's a real where war and we need to stop it now. yesterday, what goes through your mind when you see your country attacking another country? that's, that's, that's pain. deep, deep pain and fear. so it's something like, i don't know. like, like i'm from nazi germany from the 2nd world war time. on believable i, i can't believe it's happening right now. i'm in pain words and feelings of russians watching from afar and asking why vladimir putin order dis invasion and demanding. he stop but fearful he isn't listening. gabriel

i intelligence i'm from west coast. it's terribly painful. we crying every day, my sister there, my nephew in key, if you me, basement mom showed the city with family and it's terribly painful. it's unbelievable. but people of ukraine are very strong. you know, if you think you think that western powers could go further than they have done, oh, definitely definitely in what way. but firstly to stop the god coaches, the gas in oil from russia because this is the most important, i think a, it is global disdain. for russia's war in ukraine. this is cast on a former soviet state, still heavily under the influence of russia. ah, this is the chilean capital santiago, where people are calling for an end to the violence. yes. in russia,
5:29 am
there have been courageous acts of defiance in multiple cities. this is st. petersburg. and this is moscow where police are out in force, another, another. the kremlin threatened to jail demonstrators for 15 years. and it's illegal to call the invasion of ukraine, anything but a special operation ah, on the edge of red square, to protest to sing the ukrainian national anthem before being dragged away by large numbers of russians opposed to the war. and now fleeing that country, squeezed by western sanctions and persecuted by the russian state. yet, many of these anti war demonstrators went on the edge of an a base that we may not be able to pull ourselves back from time. now say many of these demonstrators for western leaders to help braga,
