a guy you're watching out 0 reminder about top stories this out and how keith has been devastated by russian air attacks forcing many of its residents to flee. it is ukraine's her 2nd largest city with a population of around 1400000 people. a fair brand of talks between russia and ukrainian delegations has ended with no major breakthroughs. russia says several proposals were presented to ukraine, but non accepted, more talks are set to take place. the united nations says more than 1700000 people have fled. you credit more than a 1000000 have gone to poland with the government to set up a $1700000000.00 fund, a for shelter and medical care. ukraine's president, his calling on the international community to boycott russian oil for him is and sky said the welsh had stopped importing from russia. effectively calling for trade and bargain. russia's deputy prime minister says it crude oil prices could climb to

over $300.00 per barrel. if the united states and european union band in ports of oil from russia. yes. and your state density blink and announced on sunday the washington i'm, it's allies all considering an embargo on russian oil. the price for barrel peak to the 14 year high of nearly a $140.00 as president biden considers an embargo. oil prices had set a record high of $147.00 per barrel way back in july of 2008. alright, let's take this on the speak to chris when mike hannah, who's in washington dc following developments there might get, might the united states proceed with this? i would, i guess, have the capacity to replace a russian supply so that's the question that the bite and administration is pondering over at the moment. the white house says that no decision has been taken yet on sanctioning russian oil. that discussion is continuing both domestically and with the u. s. allies in nato and the rest of

europe. now the issue here is that the u. s. is the biggest producer of oil in the world, but it's also the biggest consumer and it cannot rely purely on its domestic production . so it needs to import oil. 8 percent of that oil at present is imported from russia. so that is already an issue. 8 percent of us, oil imports wouldn't go away. should it sanction be imposed now significantly what is emerged to is that a senior us administration team went to ben as well over the weekend. this is not being confirmed by the white house that was supposed to be a secret trip. they had discussions, both with president but euro, and the man in lead off the opposition that the us recognize as the countries lead up on god though. now they were discussing, among other issues that the white house energy issues. now one must remember that back in 2019 the u. s. place to total sanction on venezuela oil. now it would

appear, they are opening discussions about getting some that then as well in oil lifting the sanctions against men as well as to actually make up for the short full of oil should sanctions be imposed against russia. so it's a very complicated situation, but it just shows the degree to which the u. s. is under pressure remembering to as well is that there's a lot of domestic pressure on president biden to impose an oil sanction. this is a bipartisan move, both from republicans as well as democrats, but every politician in the us knows that oil is an absolute political touch point . and the bite in administration is going to be reluctant to impose any oil sanction or see the price of oil go up further with mid term elections elections later this year. so a very complicated situation, but the bite and administration still hasn't taken a decision or mike, thanks for that. my kind of a in washington dc. things up i, let's hear from chris weaver, who's the chief executive officer of macro advisory,

which is a strategic consultancy focused on russia and eurasia. and he says that if europe stops importing russian oil replace, it will not be simple to think that, you know, we're not hearing our politicians on perfecting on his to russian oil is different to the oil coming out of the gulf. it's a heavier oil. the reason to us imports about 700000 barrels a day of russian crude is because it's needed for the refineries to go call us. these are refinery used to pro processor refine venezuela oil, which is similar to, to russian oil. then they had to switch the russian when venezuela, with sanctions, and rushes and sanctions. and there really is nowhere else for them to get the oil . they cannot just import oil from the goals and replace rush. no because the refineries are not built for that. it would, it would take a long time and would be very expensive to kind of re engineer the refineries to, to process life oil or different oil. in the meantime, you're going to have

a shortage to refine products of the southern states, and the price would rise. so it's not just a case of, you know, turning off fresh noise and getting it elsewhere. it's the quality of the oil or custody of your and it's very different to, to oil studies more readily available. for example, from go for other opec producers. and that's the problem to your face as well. again, it's not just the case. can we replace the oil? it's where we get similar oil touch or the refineries in poland and germany are now engineered to refine the can not just put saudi oil in as a replacement. well, yvonne accomplish and such is a ukrainian n p and she says west has not gone far enough with it sanctions against russia. so obviously we are saddened by the fact that there were no, any preemptive sanctions from the west when the intelligence was. so giving all the information about this possible attack, but now after the sections have been introduced,

we also understand that they have not reached that particular level. that was so russian federation from continuing this verification for absolutely disasters war against the nation of ukrainians and the genocide that is being waged by terrorists, russian forces against ukrainian people because you know, 15 percent of the bank exists in being a freshman banking system. a being cut off swift, that's not enough for oligarchs being sanctioned. that's good, but the inner circle closer go to tin again, all the guards, all the representatives of russian state, duma, for example, or national security and defense counsel or military leadership should be also sanctioned. more over their kids, their wives, their relatives for living in the western countries to be mediately thrown out

back to moscow. enjoy the the live there and a bottle and oil and gas. that's something that is extremely important because otherwise, europe is paying to the russian federation with its dollars. and it's yours. well, for russia to be able to continue war against a grade or handsome is one of the few largest cities in ukraine that russian soldiers holding earlier. they fought with ukrainian testers with demonstrating against moscow takeover of the region that is the largest urban center. russia has captured since invasion because of you and says a trucks have been unable to enter the city because of the ongoing fighting. well, an airport north, west africa on in it's yeah. was the target of russian strikes and sunday instead fastened as more lot of nervousness here and it's yeah, which is a city south of key if this is basically on the route for people trying to leave

the capital of ukraine. and they have been the error rate to sire. and so for the last 2 hours sounding and it's just we have been given the, the clear signal, the free time. now getting fuller again, but yesterday there was this bombardment at the civilian airport near to 58 rockets were fired and it has completely flattened the airport. and 9 people have died there and 6 people got injured. the authorities here say they were all, they were partially civilian, partially military, military, but there were no military operations or military installations in the airport. we have been trying to get in touch with the injured people today, going from one hospital to the other. but we haven't got any clear answers on their conditions or where they are. and so it's a very sensitive issue. of course, an airport is a very strategic location. president lansky has also condemned to the attack

because he said it is a peaceful city. it's still peaceful here. and why was this airport bombarded? it was just a civilian airport. the us nuclear watched august calling on ukraine and russia to agree on nuclear safety is fighting, threatens the structural integrity of power plants. and the reason russia sees europe's largest pop landon's procedure on friday and safety officials say the battle cause an unprecedented danger of a nuclear accident. i hate to sit down with it with our russian colleagues with ukraine. this is ukraine, show the ukrainians, have decided on what the one in terms of these practical aspects. so this is the, i would say the idea of more than idea. we have some elements that we are exchanging already with them. and we will try to build on books. we don't have much time, i hope to be able to move as fast as possible before another ab. so basically or

they're meant to get it to join spaces in vienna where the i e, a meeting was held. i think there is a great deal of concern the director general, attending the board of governors meeting of the international atomic energy agency today. as you heard, he says he's having discussions with his ukranian counterpart, the head of the agency that of ukraine's national agency. and also having discussions with the russians, he said in the past that he is prepared to travel to ukraine. he's also prepared to send a team of inspectors to the, to the ground, to try and help the ukrainian staff who are there that concerned about the lack of communications that concerned about potential. and you pressure on those that are operating the nuclear plants at this stage, he said, he's particularly concerned because of what he describes is the size of ukraine's

civil nuclear power program. they've got 15 different reactors in 4 different sites, and they produce more than half the electricity for ukraine. that's why it's such a big problem. and already, as you've said, we've had a situation where one of the biggest nuclear plant in the country has come under attack. and there were artillery shells landing and damaging some of the buildings . no radiation, extra radiation has been released. but there is concern of what happens next, and that's why he says he needs to have constructive talks with all sides to protect those, those services. ah, so this is and there are, these are the top stories in hockey has been devastated by russian aerotech for many of its residents to fleet. it is ukraine, 2nd largest city with a population of around.
