10:04 am
points that they would continue to talk about trying to implement the evacuation of civilians. but as far as we know, nothing has been agreed between the 2 sides. yet we're not seeing any sci fi being put in place. and in the meantime, of course, you continue to have so many people across ukraine, trapped in the most awful circumstances. people who really are running out of food water, electricity is being costs. in some areas there is continued challenges desperately awful conditions. and so many people who just want to get out what's the latest on the ground, natasha and tens of cities pound areas that are continuing to be shelled. and the latest on fighting we understand that a ukrainian force is all continuing to puts off a resistance in a number of areas in the east of the country. and the town is even the mad vass

10:06 am
we've seen those kind of images over the past few days in incredible courage being shown by ukrainians are here to people who have invaded a country. but the russian troops do continue to evolve. they have continued their shilling. we see not in cities including our heave in the east, in sumi in the north where we understand many civilians were killed overnight and around cave of the capital. many towns and villages continued to come under attack . they have right difficult situations. there was a bakery that was targeted on sunday, 13 people killed their, we know, a mass of a local town was killed was, he was handing out of food to people. so the situation is still very tense around the capital. in fact, ukraine's interior minister said that he expects a russian forces to possibly attack keith in the coming days. all right, i slammed her then natasha butler life us are from lives in the west of ukraine.

10:11 am
russia would never invade ukraine. car cave is a terrified testimony to his lie. john stratford al jazeera, called cave grading. president loudon is in sky is urging his people not to vote down their weapons and not to believe fake announcements that his army has surrendered. ringback when they do today, it's monday. as you can see, i'm in tears. as you can see, it's evenings today is the 12th night of our struggle. my team is with me. our heroes are doctors or diplomats journalists. we are all fighting. we are all contributing to our victory today and tomorrow we will protest the occupiers. we are not afraid when they are shooting at us. we are not retreating. those people in russia who say we are, they didn't expect such a reaction. they forgot that we are not afraid of their tanks and machine guns. russian president vladimir putin meanwhile says he will not use conscripts over the troops in the military operation and ukraine. them use them. i'd like to also
10:12 am
address the mothers sisters and brides of our officers who are currently fighting to protect russia in our special operation. i understand that you worry about your loved ones. you can be proud of them, just like you. the whole country is proud of them in the same way together with you . the whole country is proud of them and worries about them. i'd like to highlight that in the military action, no conscripted soldiers will be taking part. and we will not call for reserves, only professional military personnel will take part in the factions, and we will secure p for all the people russia. russian negotiate and say, the latest talks with ukraine, the end, the conflict did not meet their expectations. but for the round will soon be held in by the poster barrios and moscow with more on the criminal demand. one of the most m. o. official statements that we've heard from russian officials was from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest. gov,
10:13 am
who laid out for the 1st time what rushes looking for in order for this so called military operation in ukraine to end. and that there are 4 points that the russians want from the ukranian government. and 1st that is for them to cease military operations. and to that they make constitutional amendments where they a rule out any a joining of any block in the future, including nato and 3rd, they want crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, to be officially recognized as part of russia. they also want he of to recognize the separatist regions of don yeske and the guns in the eastern part of ukraine. as independent republics, these are the main points now, according to russian officials that will at once this, these things are done by the government, key of the fighting will stop immediately. and of course, the ukrainian officials have said that their conditions are that then needs to be an immediate cease fire and a withdrawal of all russian troops from ukrainian soil before they can talk about
10:14 am
anything else. they nice nations is calling for safe passage for civilians trapped in ukraine. the security council met to on monday to discuss the need to deliver aid to people. kristen salumi revolts from new york. the united nations security council heard about the impact of conflict is having on civilians in an open meeting. well, at the same time, they're working behind the scenes to try to get a resolution to pass that would insure humanitarian access to the conflict. the united nations is calling for unimpeded access for humanitarian workers and also for civilian to leave the country. should they so desire that something that none of the council members disagree with in principle. but they can't seem to agree on the wording for a resolution. it was very welcome to hear of the agreement between the ukrainian authorities and the russian federation about the need for humanitarian corridors.
10:15 am
that was welcome. but as you know, it's yet to be to be realized. we believe there are things that need to be clearly understood as a basis for safe passage. you need to have clarity on the route. it needs to be a route which is safe. you need to have timing for movements. you need to have a contact number for those running the convoys in and out. you need to know what the purpose is. of each movement. you need to have a hotline in case it doesn't work. we need all these, all these aspects which we've all learned from bitter experience elsewhere, to get the safe passages to work. russia accused ukraine of blocking civilians from leaving the country and using them as human shields. ukraine accused russia of hypocrisy and france, which is attempting to draft a resolution guaranteeing humanitarian access, says a cessation of hostilities will be necessary in order to achieve that. well,
10:16 am
the united nations is not waiting for the security council before it and the head with its plans to bring relief to the people of ukraine. they've already met with defense officials in moscow and are moving forward with or without a resolution. does come here on al jazeera cracks and the coalition wide, thailand's prime minister is feeling increasingly isolated. ah much of europe is sitting under a big dome off high pressure masks moving round the edges. it certainly is. and that's changing the weather quite considerably. so here's the high and his one bit of movement and the other one is a long way further, he's running to voters. so 1st of all, this subtly breeze is coming up in the bridge. allison, through western frances knocking temperatures up by several degrees above the
10:17 am
average breath got in contrast at saint petersburg and dan uminski took about 5 below average. this is a cold, very light windier. here's an harrington. colder a few snow shall seem likely still in poland. paris than towards ukraine. where is the sun's coming out in germany and at least western side of poland that more active weather around the edges? in spain and portugal range, likely it's going to increase, i think was snow at height. significant rain for time in the southern front and very strong winds across the creation coast. italy does with central med bringing rain snow tight again, still snow for the high ground of grease and probably turkey. that this is likely to once more wind up into something like a light winter storm dry, whence a huge mattress there once will certainly in the caucasus. i went to the south of that pic yet the sun in fact, sandy weather is like to be very obvious in libya in egypt all the way down towards southern nigeria. ah
10:18 am
frank assessments for china. well banish it from the 0, call it strategy. if the rest of the world, again informed opinions and all those lucky needs, probably not stable, critical debate wide reporting claims that legal constitutes, i like to stand chill, threat to rush up. what is precisely his actions that created this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, ah ah, you're watching al jazeera montalvan told stories. this l. russia has announced

a temporary cease fire to allow ukrainians to evacuate from several major cities, including the capital q. most routes for the proposed humanitarian car and also lead to russian territory or to bel routes. expectation for success. a lot of the previous attempts failed. wash and air attacks have devastated concave forcing many of its people to flee. more than a 100 people have been killed in crane. second largest city, it hung to 1400000 people and many have no place to go. a 3rd round of talks between russian and ukrainian delegations has ended with no major breakthrough prussia says several proposals will presented to ukraine, but none were accepted. ukraine says there was some positive results, more talks out, expected a funeral has been held and done at school eastern ukraine for the commander of the set protest sparser battalion. his unit says he was killed on saturday while trying to help civilians leave in there by city. but its met reports front on its blood
10:20 am
him as yoga has become one of the 1st heroes of the new russian recognized the next people's republic. the dpr. to much of the rest of the world, he was a separatist fighting ukraine for control of its sovereign territory. for the several 1000 mourners here he was fighting for peace. what 0 fastly they are defenders of our land. they are for truth. they are for the fatherland. this is like the greats, patchy or sick war stir. if that can we do? i think this is my duty. this man gave his life for freedom and independence of our great republic. i had to come, he fights for us, for all the value and peace. jogger was the commander of the d. p. r's, elite sparta battalion. his soldiers say he'd gone to rescue civilians from an apartment building in vol, nevada, during what was supposed to be a humanitarian ceasefire on saturday. but his unit got trapped in a fire fight with what they called ukrainian nationalists. jogger was shot.
10:21 am
one of the people who will report this story across social media to the russian public is a well known and influential war reporter, semi on peg tick, the way it's middle resume utilities to both of those who fight civilians are terrorists. so for me, it's not a military operation, but a counter terrorist operational for me, the militants and new nazis who practically control ukraine, now are the same as i saw terrorism, which of the the mourners are chanting, we will not forgive. we will not forget vladimir putin has awarded vladimir yaga posthumously, the title hero of russia. if the country's highest honor given for service to the russian state and nation before the invasion of ukraine, more than 14000 people had died in the fighting to try and bring this region closer to russia. russian don bass, that sign reads. now,
10:22 am
most men have been drafted to the military. there's more death. it's hard to imagine how this region would be allowed to return to craning control. bernard smith, archers, era desk rushes, deputy prime minister says crude oil prices could time to over $300.00 per barrel. if the us and european union been imports of oil from russia, secretary of state and the bank and announced on sunday that washington and its allies are considering and embargo rushing oil. the price per barrel hit to a 14 year high of nearly $140.00 to the president via considers an embargo. the previous record was $147.00 per barrel in july of 2008. president biden says he still deciding whether to impose oil sanctions on russia. he has broad bipartisan support in congress for the move, the disagreement of the how and where the us would get alternative supplies. my kind of reports from washington, d. c. the us motorist is already feeling the pain. the price of gas is now at its
10:23 am
highest level since the economic crush in 2008. and this could rise even further. should the us decide to impose sanctions on russian oil? no decision has been made at this point by the president about an been an import, a ban on importing oil from russia. and those discussions are ongoing internally and also with our counterparts and partners in europe and around the world. i would know that what the president is most focused on is ensuring we are continuing to take steps to deliver punishing economic consequences on certain well taking all action necessary to limit the impact to prices at the gas. the u. s. as the world's largest oil producer, but is also the largest consumer and remains dependent, unimportant, foreign oil, 80 percent of oil imported into the u. s. comes from russia. and the by that
10:24 am
administration is seeking ways to make up the shortfall. should it impose sanctions? the white house confirmed to high level team visited venezuela this weekend to discuss, among other issues, energy matters. there's also been speculation about importing oil from iran. i, while this broad bipartisan support for oil sanctions against russia in congress. this fear re, among republicans about any suggestion that countries like venezuela or iran could make up the shortfall. we should be drilling for oil and gas that we own to replace what we buy from potent and the idea of getting gas from iran to make up for the loss we received from russia is insane. you'd be taking gas revenue away from a dictator, a war criminal in increasing revenue for a religious nazi, the ayatollah of iran. that is the dumbest idea i've ever heard. we are producing
10:25 am
over a 1000000 bowers less today than we were just a couple years ago. we have the capability to do it. i think that's a much better strategy that begging saudi arabia to produce more or cutting a deal with a narco terrorist in the duro and venezuela, which wouldn't even lead to enough oral anyways. or some crazy iran deal that almost guaranteed to be a nuclear weapons underlying the bite and administration's deliberations about oil sanctions against russia. our domestic political concerns, prices at the pump and electric rail in us politics and looming ahead late to the mid term elections in which high gas prices could have severe consequences for the administration in charge. regardless of the reason my kind of out, sierra washington, chris lisa is the chief executive officer of macro advisory, a strategic consultancy focused on russia and eurasia. he says if europe stops
10:26 am
importing russian oil finding replacements won't be easy. the think that's, you know, we're not hearing our politicians on perfecting on is that russian oil is different to the oil coming out of the gulf. it's a heavier oil. the reason the u. s. imports about 700000 barrels a day of russian crude is because it's needed for the refineries to go call us the refinery. see used to pro processor refined venezuela noise, which is similar to, to russian oil. then they had to switch to russian know when been weather with sanctions and rushes, no sanctions. then there really is nowhere else for them to get the oil. they cannot just import oil from the goals and replace russia because the refineries are not bills 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,
10:27 am
and the price would rise. so it's not just a case of, you know, turning on fresh noise and getting it elsewhere. it's the quality of the, of the oil or, or discuss the of your and it's very different to, to oil. it's studies already available, for example, from go for other opec producers. and that's the problem that you're facing this. well, again, it's not just the case. can we replace the oil? it's where we get similar oil touch. the refineries in poland and germany are now engineered to refine the can not just put saudi oil in as a replacement. in other news, thailand's prime minister is looking creasing the isolated after recent defections from the ruling party and snobs from coalition partners. general pro channel has been in palaces 2014 after a military coup. the ruling coalition appears shaky. tony chang reports from bangkok the traditional chinese line dancers are the political protest in bangkok to bring good luck. the dancing line is

10:29 am
losing support. i think the royalist military regime ah, is feeling re threatened this is a sis central or a substantial a threat against them from the electoral forces of the opposition. the big question is whether those electoral forces are strong enough to take power. the current constitution written by the military, after the coo allowed the ruling generals to maintain control. despite losing at the ballot box, the party that has won every election in the last 20 years in various guises knows it would take a massive landslide to get the generals out. law you, this is like, we're living in the worst situation. we can imagine since the last election back in 2019 of political parties were forced to race with biased rules. the checks and balances are in the favor of the government at a, i believe the tie. people agreed that this is not a normal time. thailand's due to have elections in the next 12 months to see who
