12:05 pm
40 miles long heading towards the capital kid hasn't moved, we're told by western intelligence assessments in about 6 days. but that is just part of the picture because it does not follow that the russians are not making advances elsewhere, they do appear to be baking gains and holding gains on roots that are closer to supply line supply lines that are able to operate more efficiently. so sustained attack up in the north, in germany, he sustained attack on hockey in the east. the russians of surrounding and moving on a small place called e z u, which is potentially close to falling. we told him and told him that would open a corridor between keith and the russian border directly. and of course, the situation continues to evolve in the south, not just around mario pole, and that colorado between premier and the eastern breakaway regents. but the russian forces continuing to push on nikolai of that's just to the west of crimea, trying to open a route towards the next potential big target. odessa. and one more bit of news

12:11 pm
a safe passage for those tramps because of fighting. kristen salumi reports from new york. the united nations security council heard about the impact of conflict as having on civilians in an open meeting. while the same time they're working behind the scenes to try to get a resolution passed that would ensure humanitarian access to the conflict. the united nations is calling for unimpeded access for humanitarian workers and also for civilians 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. that was welcome. but as you know, it's yet to be to be realised. we believe there are things that need to be clearly understood as the basis for safe passage. you need to have clarity on the route. it
12:12 pm
needs to be a route which is safe. you need to have timing for movements. you need to have contact numbers for those running the convoys in and out. you need to know what the purposes of each movement you'd eat. i 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 these safe passages to what russia accused ukraine of blocking civilians for 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 acts as says a cessation of hostilities will be necessary in order to achieve that. wow. the united nations is not waiting for the security council before it moves ahead with its plans to bring relief to the people of ukraine. they've already met with

12:17 pm
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 have 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 the needs to be an immediate cease fire and a withdrawal of all russian troops from ukrainian soil before they can talk about anything else. what we're going to hear now from the un high commissioner michelle boshoway, who is addressing the human rights council in geneva. let's listen and in areas that have recently come under the control of our groups in the east of the couch.

12:19 pm
fundamental freedoms of the work of human right defendants continued to be undermined by what the use of the 2012 so called for a major law as evidenced by the leash, closer to organizational set up by the widely respected group memorial in boston, in boston under sickle be now deepening political crisis, had been filled by device or tory, formed by some political leaders, incidents of a hate speech and a sign that violence in the republic, francesca and kitty early this year have alarm many people underscore in the urgent need for leaders to condemn our fame from such statements. we saw that you took the initiative in the republican shariska entity to withdraw from state to sherwood. if adopt that disrupt the referral for the limits independence of the shade, which potentially with potentially far reaching impact is essential that the
12:20 pm
current negotiations on the left for our reform uphold the equality of all of. that would be a speaker sense in line with ok, that is michelle bush away. they're speaking the combination of the you in human rights council meeting, repeating an urgent call for peaceful end to the conflict and ukraine. also noting that some 12700 people have been arrested in russia for protesting against the war . the response has go to russia now and bring in marx, li, boda. he is an international relations and security analyst and he joined his live from moscow. thank you. for your time, i want to start with military movements on the ground water assessment of the lakes . this is happening on the ground in ukraine, particularly on the convoy outside of kia, which has been there now for 6 days. yes, so i mean there's a lot of different axis for the conflict going on around key as
12:21 pm
the entrenchment of forces. the encircling of continues in the north in the northeast of the country. har, cough and sue me to a very large degree. are also surrounded in the southern theater. there has been a very large breakout. russia has made substantial gains in the south of the ukraine. and they have effectively linked up the eastern in southern france. and the only hold out on that coast is military . ok, which is held by the off neo nazi brigade and will be a tougher not to crack. but that's, you know, the military formation on the ground right now. right now the military, i just,
12:22 pm
i just want to, i just want to comment on you talking about the photography on it being neo nazis. i believe actually there were some of the far right elements, but they were, they were integrated as part of the ukranian army one day. yes, they are. there are several neo nazi brigades that are officially stayed armed and funded by the regime. and where days off is certainly one of those and they are in indisputably band, right? fascist, neo nazi, ideal logically organization. sure. if i should point out, says that when that integration happened, they have separated and addressed those far right elements in order to bring those battalions into the ukrainian forces. i want to ask you, what do you think the russian strategy is here? how is this war going? to end this war is going to end, i mean,
12:23 pm
the official pronouncements are about the militarization and the d, not the for cation of ukraine. of course, that is not going to be accomplished without removing the put regime in kiev, that the u. s. helped install in 2014 and of course, you know, the creation of a transition government that will likely be composed of elements of the eastern ukrainian political opposition that has been repressed for the last 8 years in the country. i should also point out there, you talked about the notification, the shirts museum, and the u. s. holocaust mostly museum. have both condemned, put in using the term saying that it's being co opted exploiting history for his own false narrative. not to mention the fact that the president of the russian speaking, do i want to ask you, you think that we are heading towards a global deal coupling?
12:24 pm
explain that for us, if you would yes. first of all, whether your father was jewish or not, has nothing to do with the fact that your regime has state armed and funding, neo nazi organizations that you have sent to kill your own people for the last 8 years. you don't get the claim that and some kind of defense, right? as long as these neo nazi organizations, principal objects of hatred, are ethnic russian. so voc east ukrainians and left us in the country, then they are considered kosher by the regime and obviously by the western mainstream media. but this is a shameful white washing and apology. and the statement from the organizations you mention says more about their institutional capture by western states than it does about any reality on the ground in you. when you name streets and buildings after world war 2 era, nazi collaborator and you claim that these world war, 2 era,
12:25 pm
nazi collaborators inefficient legislation, are the heroes and founding fathers of your country. you don't not get to claim that you are a fascist regime, whether the current pop ahead president is of jewish descent or not. all right, and that is the russian perspective there. thank you very much for joining us here on al jazeera. thanks for having me. ross, his deputy prime minister says crude oil prices could climb to over $300.00 per barrel with the us and european union ban imports of oil from russia. president joe biden is yet to decide whether to impose oil sanctions on russia. he has broad bipartisan support in congress, but this disagreement of the how and where the u. s. 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 highest level since the economic crash in 2008. and this could rise even
12:26 pm
further, should the us decide to impose sanctions on russian oil? no decision has been made at this point by the president about an, a ban on 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 present 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 time. the u. s. is the world's largest oil producer, but is also the largest consumer and remains dependent. unimportant, foreign oil. 8 percent of oil imported in the us comes from russia and divided administration is seeking ways to make up the shortfall should impose sanctions.
12:27 pm
the white house confirmed a 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 putin. and the idea of getting gas from iran to make up for the loss we receive from russia is insane. you'd be taking geek 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 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
12:28 pm
a much better strategy that begging saudi arabia to produce more of 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 and other news, thailand's prime minister is looking increasingly isolated after recent affections from the ruling policy and subs from coalition partners. general pro channel has been empowered from 2014 but after a military coup. the ruling coalition appears shaky. the chain reports from bangkok,
12:29 pm
ah, the traditional chinese line dancers are the political protest in bangkok to bring good luck. the dancing line is matched by the dragon's roar. the speakers line up to denounce amnesty international and other organizations. they say threatened thailand sovereignty, but the royalists protested, who supported the military coup in 2014. and the generals that have been in control since, and now feeling a little less secure. i mean, i got there is still a sense of unity among the routing parties to continue supporting general pry you challenger and to keep them as prime minister until the end of his 4 year term. this year, major cracks of emerged in the coalition terminate from pow had risen to the top of the ruling party. despite serving for years for haron smuggling and australia defected or suggesting major leadership split and prime minister prior tanaka was
12:30 pm
snubbed at a recent cabinet meeting by members of the other coalition party who refused to turn up starting to look lonely at the top under ground. they're losing boats losing support. i think the royalist military regime ah, is feeling re threatened. this is a says 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 loud as, as like, we're living in the worst situation. we can imagine since the last aleck.
