some right in the animal and nick violence. ah ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm barbara sarah. this is the al jazeera news, our live from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next. that 60 minutes we blow one, broken hard since people escape their broken cities. the ukraine exodus passes 2000000, but it is a long and dangerous road to safety. renewed shelling force buses to make

a u. turn again, delaying evacuations. a city under siege? no electricity, food or water fear turns to desperation. for those trap in murray or on the american people will deal another powerful blow to coons. warmish and the west sanctions are stepped up as russia oil is left out in the cold. i'm heat estimate in doha with your sport, the image primarily tase up a ride still to show their matches in russia, the invasion of ukraine the war in ukraine. it started only certain days ago and already it's caused 2000000 people to leave the country, to 1000000 women and children and elderly people,

but not men between the ages of 18 and 60. they must stay and fight. the refugees have driven cross country to border posts or taking trains or buses. whatever transport was available, a lifetime of memories packed into a suitcase. they're heading to poland, hungary, slovakia, any neighboring country that can offer safety. and the number would be even greater, were not for those trap. unable to leave their homes, caught in cities such as mario paul, where russia is again accused of breaking humanitarian cease fires, and firing on civilians trying to escape the kremlin and turn blames ukrainian forces for violating the truces. char stratford begins, are coverage at from already give in eastern ukraine. the buses itself towards mary opal, the latest attempt to evacuate thousands of people trapped in the besieged port city on the as of c. marielle paul has suffered some of the worst fighting in

recent days. the russian army and russian back separatists fighters have reportedly surrounded the city with dead bodies lying in the streets. well, we don't have electricity, we don't have anything to eat. we don't have medicine, we got nothing on one of them. i mean, you, everything is mind the roots out of town or being sheldon's as the policeman. at the moment, negotiations about leave in which security have failed to trust norman, make it unfortunately, the best security for his old was to be inside the city on the ground. what shall trees are gone? oh, approximately 200 kilometers north. in the town of old cave, the buses meant to rescue the people of mariel and stopped. russian army positions are only 10 kilometers from head drivers, some which family and marable told us, they'd heard reports of fighting on the route is line c as any of us. there has

been no connection with the city for days. i haven't been able to get in touch with my wife and sister for 5 days. we've tried to get to mary up or twice already. this is our 3rd a team to me. i don't know if it will happen. ah! after more than 2 hour wait. a convoy coordinator ordered the drivers to get on the buses and leave. so the buses are now turning round this after, according to the coordinator of the cold boy. there are reports of heavy fighting on the initially planned route to murray opal. a group of drivers struggled to start one of the vehicles. one told us he didn't want to die. let's move on to this way because it's been shelling, they won't let us go through. ha. isn't the checkpoint light? let us go further because at the shelling we don't know where we're going. now. the convoy headed out to border keep moving north east and other attempted evacuating

thousands of tract and terrified people in murray awful. and failed. charles driver al jazeera or a cliff. easton crane. well, one way for people to escape the fighting is the travel east still marry off all into territory controlled by russian back separatists. not many have dared to make the journey as bernard smith reports now from the novel i will ask region these ukrainians, laughed mary appalled with just the few belongings they could pack in a hurry, which wasn't much. what was weighing these people down with the memories of what they've seen and what they've left behind. they black, the city of half a 1000000 people surrounded by forces from russia and on yet, people who are now their hosts. nick describes living under shelling for 10 days as he made his way out of the city with his wife, child, and mother in law. but them virtually knowledge. we got into our car under constant

shalon valley. there was no corridor. we had not help. we just drove when we went from one village to another, spent 4 days in a cellar, less than 5 days in a shed, with no water, no guest, no electricity, no internet. that journey from mary up all east to this village would have taken just 45 minutes in peace time. my brother was a while ago. mister wife does best we call them, we will only now that we are safe. i'm going to walk out what we are going to do next. so few people seem to have made it out of mary up all because according to the don yet separatists, the as of battalion that holds the city, is not letting civilians leave. as of is a far right paramilitary, neo nazi group, now integrated into ukraine's national guard. the group in return accuses the russians a violating the humanitarian c. spies. considering the size of mary off all just really a handful of people have made it here. an indication that despite the promise of

a secure humanitarian corridor, many people are still too scared to leave. bernard smith, al jazeera nova, as oscar region were you bringing officials say, 3 and a half 1000 ukrainian residence and foreign students were able to leave the city of sumi on tuesday through a humanitarian corridor. and that's after an air strike killed at least 20 people there. evacuations were also made from the city of the pin on the outskirts of the capital. keith. natasha bala reports now from the v. his little comfort in war. but some people are doing all they can. the 3rd day ukrainian forces evacuate people from it, a pin on the outskirts of ukraine's capital keith. it's a precarious journey. russian shelling is never very far away. european. yup, 3 alert or king of stopping has been constantly shall your plains bombing russian

soldiers projects at home. there is no electricity light, no heating, and the temperature is going down. we had to go to the chill it made that we hate the horizon and russia. so much i hope the war will be over soon. one of the conservative people are also fleeing sumi, east of cave, off to russia, and ukraine agreed on a temporary cease fire in the area. days of russian shelling have flattened parts of the city. this is what is left after an overnight attack, killed more than 20 people, including children in their homes are moscow's offered once again to evacuate people from a number of other cities. but only if they go to russia or belarus for ukraine's president. it is a proposition steeped in cynicism, but they ensure that a small corridor to the occupied territory is open for a few dozen people. not so much to russia, but to the propagandist directly to the television cameras. so they can say this is who saves people. just cynicism just propaganda. nothing more. rushes military says

this video shows is tanks. ne keith. when the city people are scared, daily life is moved underground. intense times, the vulnerable, often suffered almost every day. more children arrive at this orphanage from different parts of ukraine. svetlana tells me the invasion, adds another painful layer to already difficult childhood. on a pic especially the 1st scripted arrived her is from less chance. there were many, yet very young kids and, and then they were traumatized. anxious when the siren sounded. they got really scars. lister was in the children have been brought here to escape the russian shelling and the fighting. but some of them were ready victims of war. these children are from easton ukraine, where a war against russian back separatist started 8 years ago. young lives that have never known a world without conflict. nastier is from keith. a typical teenager

living in on typical times. my last the throne, my sister and i couldn't sleep at night. we lived in an apartment as i was born, been all the time. so we took integration train to here. my boy. wow. solidarity seems to be everywhere. ukraine, as does defiance, protest is in the southern city of chaplain, could tell russian soldiers to go away. oh, people want the conflict to end. they want the killing to stop. families are being shattered futures last ukrainians. wonder how many soldiers will sacrifice their lives for war? no one here wanted natasha butler al jazeera live. if ukraine or fighting north of the capital cave is intensifying as russian forces push further towards the city. that vast and travel to keep on tuesday and says there

are huge traffic jams as more and more people are trying to get out while traveling to key a few see this whole continuous stream of refugees leaving the capital going the opposite direction. there is a non stop row of cars, a huge traffic jam, basically from the whole of the west of ukraine to the capital right now, people trying to flee the violence, the bombing to continuous shadowing here in the capital also around the capital. but the people are not going very far and not very fast because they're really simply stuck. the infrastructure doesn't let them flee quickly enough. so people are really spending denied in cars next to fuel stations. the fuel stations have enormous long queues as well because people are fueling for fuel. that is very hard to get. there's not enough fuel in these battle station, so there's quite a lot of checks, boring. so people are very nervous. the security services are very nervous that

there might be advance forces that might be what they call sabbath to us. russians who are ready here who might commit attacks and when you get to the capital, the 1st thing that you notice is this eerie silence. people have left, it's a city of normally $4000000.00 people, but it's equally quiet. the only thing we hear here is church bells ringing mineral. poland that says it's ready to deploy all it's m i g 29 fighter jets to ramstein air base and put them at the disposal of the us government essentially offering to donate the fleet to ukraine. my can joins the slides now from a washington d. c. a, the seems sort of breaking in the past the half hour or so have we actually received confirmation of the sprint? well, it's a very complicated situation. indeed. in recent days, the secretary of state tend to be blinking. has said that they have been

negotiations with poland about the possibility of us back filling its croft should poland make its make 20 nines available to ukraine. however, it appears to come as a shock this new twist in the saga. and that is that poland is now saying that it is willing to sell the across the united states to move them to the u. s. air base at ramstein in germany. and in return, the u. s. will provide you the polish air force with used f sixteens. now this is a movement unexpected movement and it certainly seems to have caught us officials by surprise. the neat clarity we had at the stage is the under secretary of state victoria newland, who was giving evidence to an intelligence briefing on the hill in the course of the morning. she said there had been no discussion with us about this particular plan to move the crop to the ramstein bay. she added that she was wanting to get back to work to see exactly the details as also be. and i got

a statement from the pentagon saying it's got nothing to add. so it does appear that us officials are surprised not by the proposition that it's lee place, polish cropped with its own, but by the manner in which it is being done with poland. moving the cross to the ramstein ad based in germany, putting the owners of delivery of the crop on the united states. interesting story of the particular interesting to see how it develops. my canada with the latest from washington. thank you. and coming out on al jazeera, personally, i don't think i'm being brave, i'm just doing well. i'd like people to do. the u. k was under attack crossing borders to join the fight. ukraine's military bolstered by volunteers from abroad. and last orders for big macs in russia, mcdonald's becomes the latest big name company to close its doors. and there is

criticism of tennis officials after this champions, ireland outburst. peter will have all the details in ah, are you as president joe by that has announced a ban on russian oil and gas imports to move follows please by ukrainian president followed the mere zalinski to cut off moscow's energy exports. whitehouse corresponding, kimberly how kit reports. it's a major escalation of u. s. economic sanctions against russia for its invasion of ukraine. on tuesday, u. s. president joe biden went after president vladimir putin's most lucrative industry. we're banning all in ports of russian oil and gas in energy and means russian oil will no longer be acceptable. u. s. port to the american people will deal another powerful blow to put in for machine. the decision by president biden

to bad russian energy imports into the united states, follows pressure by the us congress, and pleased by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski biden acknowledged. the latest sanctions could cause a spike in us gas praises consumers are already paying on average more than $4.00 a gallon up from $2.77 just a year ago, due to high inflation. as the economy recovers from, the coven pandemic says, proven, began, as military build up and ukrainian borders just since then. the price of the gas and the pump, an american up to $0.75. and with this action is going to go up further. the white house is directing the release of some of the us strategic petroleum reserves to contain prices and compensate for last supply. but the white house maintains high gas prices might also encourage you as consumers to switch to green energy and

electric vehicles. but this analyst says the united states is nowhere near ready. the biggest user of oil in any country is transportation and transportation depends on having things like electric vehicles and hybrids vehicles. those vehicles represent a roughly small part of the fleet. the fleet turns over slowly. so we're trying to bring her to buy yours. that's why these latest u. s. economic sanctions against russia may be symbolic, designed to hurt potent financially, but mostly politically, president biden is sending his vice president comalla harris to poland and romania this week to reinforce support for ukraine, but also to reassure nervous allies. fearful that russia could turn its aggression on them next. kimberly held it al jazeera, the white house,

where the u. k is also planning phase out russian oil imports by the end of the year, while the u says it will reduce its dependence by 2 thirds. but the announcement has seen oil prices surge even higher with some analysts predicting it could push europe towards recession. charlie angela has more from central london already struggling with rising living costs. ordinary europeans now face another blow to their finances, with the conflict and ukraine, pushing fuel and food prices even higher as the plan to phase out oil imports, russia takes shape. the economic cost of the war is hitting home. i'm going to record another kind of absurd. 15 days ago. nobody could think about it. the problem is not the price. it will be to morrow, but how much it will cost in $15.00 days. i think there's times are coming, but we will have to deal with it. here in london, people are seeing a ripple effect of the russian invasion at the pachel pump. prices have been rising

steadily since january. i have now reached a new record high, and this could have enough on effect the cost of transported goods. and the cost of living. russia is the world's 2nd largest exporter of oil, the you imports 27 percent of it all from russia. the u. k. little less than 10 percent, and the u. s. just 8 percent, which is why europe, who feel the effect of the bad far more acutely than the u. s. the e. u also plans to cut his dependency on russian gas by 2 thirds this year. that's 26 percent of its supply. this will end our over dependency and give us much needed room to maneuver 2 thirds by the end of this year. todd. bloody odd. but it's possible if we're willing to go further and faster than we've done before. but ex, but say this decision will mean difficult compromises hitting that target. the very challenging, if they do that, are going to be aware of the consequences. they'll have to be additional use of

nuclear, which is supposed to be phased out in certain countries. a lot more coal use, which won't help climate goals, that there was even a point and said, turn your thermostat down one degree. and that has a major impact on potential gas use. the payoff of this eventual band that european consumers will no longer be inadvertently funding the warn you, craig is e oil purchases alone put $285000000.00 a day in russian pockets. and the move towards kena green energy will be accelerated. but the timing means the risk of inflation and recession looms larger than ever charlie on to our do their london while almost 300000 ukrainians have arrived in neighboring romania since the russian invasion. now the government can bucharest, has approved legislation allowing refugee children to enroll in local schools on the bill. i mean spoke to some of those arriving at the romania ukraine border in

the bitter cold waiting. an acute can feed longer than it already is. there is a story of people fleeing award. they didn't expect mothers taking their children across the border family is being torn apart as men between the age of 18 to 60. i'm not allowed to leave ukraine under martial law. marina at diversity was traveling alone with her 12 year old son, stayed in keith for as long as she could, didn't have thought of another point yet. we stayed because we thought the wood and attorney moment. it was relatively quiet in our way. we heard the bombing, but we didn't think it would get to us until the very last moment. we realized we had to escape when we had miss house. my never are had this, but the warnings few believed award breakout until it actually happened. they tell about how they were caught off guard not expecting to become refugees. and in the

mid a group of indian students who arrived in high keep only 3 weeks ago to start medical school. it was around 16 days. we were like, we don't know. well, we know war and they were there, i just argue and all. but suddenly this happened and viva of you all went to the bunker and we had to, you know, we had a really hard time. there were no facility to which we oh, we could skip from there. so oh we decided to go buy food. we traveled, i guess 20 kilometers by foot and finally breezed. boy dove i and then we managed to move from there with the bus a little further down the line. yeah. am, has, has been, is trying to cheer up. these are the last moments they will be together as a family, until who knows when she is afraid for me says, but i think she would be bored without me. she will have nobody to neg, they have travelled for 3 days, some zeppelin,

georgia in the east where the russian army is advancing. yep. os, most of the guys at the law. i woke up at 5 am because i heard a huge, loud bang. i thought something fell down from the shelf in the room next door, but the airport was being bombed. slona made the same journey, leaving behind her husband, sister nieces and nephews. she's begging them to move fast before they get caught up and fighting. she's upset that her life has been up ended. it was a good, simple one. and she had plans for the future. and she rejects russian president vladimir putin claims that civilians are not being targeted. knew that the due process was a good the thing, this is not true, it's full scale. we're being annihilated. people are dying, children, elderly, everybody, we have to run by foot as soon as there was an opportunity. it's not true,

they're killing us. or many of the people here are russian speakers. those booting claim this war is aiming to protect their became victims of a conflict that started in their name, but of their hamid al jazeera alone ukraine. romania border or lucas is near ski, is a coordinator with the 1st responders from the border. that's a group helping the polish government. with the of courses we've heard there more than a 1000000 ukrainian refugees that have crossed that now. he joins us via skype from crackle sir, thank you so much for joining us. here in al jazeera, we just saw a report about what's happening at the romanian border. but of course, all the neighboring countries are helping the ukrainian refugees are coming through . tell us a little bit about your story and in volunteers like you because you got involved quite recently. talk us through it. yeah, good evening barbara. we've just started with a few people about maybe 2 weeks ago. my 1st trip to boat was with my nephew. we've

decided to go down to give a list, to some people over there, and i've just recognized, of course, we've got a massive supper from the government, but they need some help. so we've just decided i'd decide to view the facebook and obviously there are so many people in poland, they've got some skills that got some experience. they know how to help. and we've just created a group by the now we, we know there is a more of us, there are some more groups and we know how to do it. so we've got some places on the border where we can provided a some kind of the supper to, to the people. and i helped us through it both the, the training that you and your fellow volunteers, you know, may or may not have. and the kind of support that you provide sometimes is there a simple sometimes just to, you know, give them advice, what they should do. sometimes we are just going to make a sandwiches for them,

put on a coffee and tea, and sometimes we have to provide them some medical helps. because the condition of the people, it's really bad. they are very tired, they are exhausted. and now we, we know the temperature is going down. there is just a little bit of the snow on the border. and the people are waiting to get into poland for many, many hours. mostly they are kits, women's and old people with some problems. so it's going to be, it's going to be a worst. i'm because you are obviously on the polish side of the border. and i seem to understand that when people get there by and large, they have what they need. but you said that they often get stuck on the ukrainian side of the border and wasting the freezing cold for hours. that's right. the good point is that they decided to open the boat. there's all the crossings for the pedestrians,

but still they have to go through all the paperwork and you can imagine i've, i've been able to go there just for a few minutes to do some delivery of the of the medical met. medicals for the guys over there. and to do some question for a few people. this is horrible. it's like, it's hard to say something, but i just, i wish to, i wish to organize something over there. but for, for us, it's very difficult because we not, we're not allowed to go there. or obviously we, we can, we can ask someone to do it, but, well, what i mean, you're doing what you can on the polish side of the border. but again, talk us through it. so people arrive into poland, like you say, often it's just cups of tea. coffee just you know, sitting people down, making sure they're warm, but then that would be the immediate arrival. what happens next? for example, why are you in crackle right now? ok,

i've just managed to get here yesterday with the korean family because on my way from the board, the line up to the meeting point, i've just start the conversation with the girl. and then i start asking, where are we going? yeah, we want to go to crackle, but we don't have a space where we can stand in room where we can stay. maybe we can ask someone said listen, listen, listen, i can provide you a, some shelter. just stay with me and we can organize 2 rooms in my house. so of the moment i got some people over there, i'm going to try to organize the better accommodations for them. and then this is possible. i want to go back to board, maybe tomorrow. yeah, because of course, you know, we know that more than a 1000000 people have crossed into poland. but the, you and hcr is expecting that 5000000 people in total may leave ukraine's. of course, you know, the pressure continues again for the people that you've spoken to. i mean the

immediate assistance seems to be very good. but what is the, i guess long term plan if anyone is making them? because there's no knowing when a lot of these refugees will be able to go back to ukraine. so then what we've been told by the officials got the government is going to do some plans to provide them some permission to start in. well, you know, it's kind of the settlements in poland for minimum 18 months. then we don't know what's going to be i've just reported that i've got some people in my house to the, to the come see, they said yeah, we can organize everything for you. if you need help, just give us a shout. we can provide you medical help for them, but we don't know what's going to be in the future. it's too early to say something about lucas business ski, a coordinator with the 1st responders from the border group. that's helping the polish government with ukranian refugees,

sir. thank you for your time and good luck. the weeks ahead. thank you. bye. now foreign fighters are heading to the front lines in ukraine after the government established an international legion for those coming from abroad. the volunteers are helping to set of training camps or treating the injured st. buzzer ivy spoke to some of the new recruits crossing into ukraine at the poland ukraine border as people continue to flee the war in ukraine, some rush to get to its front lines. bravery or bravado mormon like this one, are coming to ukraine's aid every day. inspired perhaps by a social media campaign. i'm in solomon right now, or a call to arms for volunteers by ukrainian leaders under siege in their own capital . from her home near cave, last year bustling,

co says there is something to do for everyone coming to ukraine's defense. you are fighting the 2nd biggest on the and the world and the nuclear power. that was all military resources are not enough. so we need more people here on the ground. we need more weapons here on the ground. we need more sophisticated weapons here on the ground to be able to span and keep standing as an independent country. this is the struggle and the slide that we invite the bully, the world to join volunteers who contact ukrainian embassies are directed to the website for the international legion of the defense of ukraine. this is one of the locations recruits can find themselves signing up and boarding buses to cross the border. we met a ukrainian coordinator who declined to speak on camera or give his full name or even his rank. but he said he was there to help volunteers find their way to the fight. this roadside motel near the border has become a kind of unofficial recruitment point for volunteers wanting to fight in ukraine.

we've been here a few hours and we've met people from europe. the united states, great britain, many more have already crossed over many more are expected to. julian is $22.00 and says he served in the dutch military and was deployed to have gone to stun. i'm not looking for violence per se. it's more that i'm looking for to give the people their hope that they see they're not alone in this fight. he's still undecided than willing to sign a contract to serve until the end of the war. whenever that might be, the open ended contract has also put on volunteers at the medical border crossing. if they say all you, you can stay in 5 by a 3 months. you can go home to see your family, then come back if you want. jo, mom or even one year, but we know in one year we going we got home and it's going truck. does no dag dies know when we could go home, you know, so yeah, that was the point for me to change mind others remain undeterred. jay is from

portugal lives in london and says his motivation comes from his young daughters that he is fighting to defend their future, their freedoms, the lack of action by the west. i just personally don't think sanctions are enough and i understand the fear of world war 3. but as you can see, this is the beginning of world war 3. personally, i don't think i'm being brave. i'm just doing what i'd like people to do. if the u . k was under attack and far as johnson was begging for help, highly experienced soldiers are sent to the front line. less experienced recruits are kept back to help territorial defense units and treat the wounded. j says he trusts ukraine will let him go home to see his family and is unafraid. as he commits himself to a. ready war that could go on for years. zane basra, the old 0 at the ukraine border in eastern poland, were coming up in this news. i will, we are going to take a look at some of the other stories making the news,

including women turn out in mass rallies around the world to demand better rights for international women's day. and then sport fee for approves. ukraine's request to postpone the world cup playoff with scotland. ah, europe's weather is showing huge variation contrasts west to east and at the middle actually is fairly quiet and increasingly sunny and slowly warm. but that's because this video, nieces, dome of high pressure don't move and around the edges, you got cold this side and you got wet. this are coming in from the atlantic. so that zoom a little bit over the next 24 hours or so. this won't. so produce temperatures in

the teens for england, for france. not so for island and back edge green b. pretty, pretty wintry have to say, the wind is only strong up to this point, then it's all going quiet. and the sun, after cold died, warms hamburg up to 11, but the temperature is further east where they are the low side, about 5 bit operations in petersburg, or down for ukraine and beyond. to be honest, then there's the wants of north european playing the low countries showing about 5 above the average that that carries on all way down the eastern side of europe. so to the balkans and to turkey and greece, windy and cold wind that will be adding to the feel of winter as snow falls out of often leaden skies west of that well warm in spain. wet in portugal, if you're lucky, windy in the middle, and getting worse in turkey. ah, an app that sees for the blind and

ah, reminder now of the top stories on al jazeera, 2000000 people have fled ukraine since the start of the russian invasion, that's according to the un refugee agency. it's described the exodus as the fastest in modern times and warned that millions more people are still to come. the civilian evacuation of the besieged port city of murder, york will, has been cancelled for the 3rd time empty buses trying to reach the city. we're seeing turning around following reports of russian shelling along the humanitarian corridor. the city has been cut off from water and power for days and he was president, job item has announced the ban on russian oil and gas imports. the u. k is also

planning to phase out in ports by the end of the year while the use as it would reduce its dependence on russian energy. by 2 thirds of gabrielle elizondo is live at the new york stock exchange for escape. good to see you. so tell us, so what effect has the biden oil announcement actually had on the markets there? well, it's been a vile, a tile trading day here on wall street, as you can probably imagine, as traders are really trying to grapple with the uncertainty of the geopolitical tensions. but it's a whole host of things. it's not just one, but you could really get a sense of how the markets were gonna react as president joe biden was speaking, making his announcement about the ban of russian oil earlier on tuesday. as he was speaking, as he began to speak, the tao was actually in green. it was but trading positively. but as he was speaking of the major indicators started to drop into the read and they continued

to drop as he was speaking. so you could see the uncertainty was leading to that sell off. we got a little bit of a heads up that that's what biden was going to be announcing an hour or 2 earlier. so it was sort of had been a little bit expected that he would be doing making this announcement. so that helps soften the blow a little bit. but still you could get a sense that this is a big problem for the markets, quite frankly. and it's not just one thing is, traitors are saying we are already dealing with inflationary concerns in the u. s. and other parts of the world as well. we have continued supply chain issues that were bringing down the markets as well as commodity price increases. now we have discontinued the uncertainty of the war and ukraine, coupled with almost daily new sanctions. add all of that together. and that's why, as one trader told me, said, you're almost seeing like the perfect storm here. we don't see really any way out

of this. anytime soon, quite a scary combination of factors there. and it's not just, i mean, all the factors that you've listed and, and the oil. the announcement now, but there's also lots of other big american corporations pulling out of the russian market. are there. yeah, that's right. companies have a real balancing actor when dealing with russia right now on one side. they want to make a financial calculation on, on staying or leaving the russian market. but on the other side, they're getting pressure from consumers, increase pressure from consumers, i should say on companies asking companies to take a stand on the war in ukraine. and that's what we're starting to see companies starting to react to that. now, just on tuesday for major american companies have pulled out of russia pepsi, coca cola, mcdonalds and starbucks,

those are some of the 4 biggest brands or companies that represent the united states in many ways. right. and all of them pulled out are just on tuesday. mcdonalds has been in russia since it was a soviet union 32 years as 850 stores there. and it gets about 10 percent of its global revenue just from russia. so you're seeing this, these companies pulling out of there, this is after apple and ford of pulled out as well. and you probably going to see more companies as the days go on as well. companies just not comfortable, continuing to operate in russia, given the circumstances. gabriel is under with the latest there are from new york gave as always thank you. where you cranes, president has received a standing ovation from the u. k. parliament, speaking by video link from key valid them years. lensky. thank you. okay. with support throughout the whole. he told parliamentarians that ukrainians would fight to the end against the russian invasion,

but he appealed for more help to punish russia and stress the need for a no fly zone. not needs to move separate than this, jim. all the question for us now is to be or not to be this expedient question to wait for 13 days. the question was ok, but now i can even definitive answer is definitely yes. to be possible. i'd like to remind you of the word that the u. k has already heard, which are important, so here again, we will not give up. we will not lose what we will fight to the end at sea and in the air. we will continue to fight for our land, whatever the causal will fight in the 4th in the field on the shores in the streets . the alexander dan look, his ukraine's former finance minister and former national security chief. he spoke to us a little earlier saying that war is moving into a new phase. the russian troops trying to complete

their goal to in circles, the city and, and the best it can be seen here. but they are facing an enormous resistance from all military and territorial defense. de already caused some commentary. an enormous unitarian crisis in the towns that they occupy joslyn the suburbs of keith. still to day there was attempts to emigrate people from these towns and the russians promised the ceasefire and provided you come in tarion corridors and it didn't happen. so pretty much the war is going to the next face, russian. so trying to basically the, the, launching your 2nd wave of assault on keith and the,

at the same time, people tried to leave the, the heiress, which would be in the central fighting. is there any one that you are speaking of even considering the humanitarian corridors that had been proposed by russia, that would lead mainly to russia and belgium. low people don't want to go there. and as you understand by creating the score doris, to be rational, russia basically it's, they want to humiliate ukrainians when ukrainians don't want to be sure that they would rather stay where they are than to play a russian game happening. and actually russia is trying to resolve the game, sometimes bring people pull from the la rational from russia who would then recreate to russia and do what would you like your performance to the whole world that they actually provide you coming into a quarter door. so although they don't, they continue shooting people, shutting the civilians,

basically behavior like barbarians. earlier on his day, your president, president landscape address the u. k. parliament with some very strong words reminiscent when the u. k. was and the threat from nazi germany in the 940. what do you make of that speech that comparison and in general, what do you make of the western response so far in trying to help you frame? we get more and more a kind of common position in many countries that were reluctant to provide me. the use of smell are willing to do so. so less than the pores. response when he molding prisons in school doing good job and addressing the will be the risk of being fallen. and i believe my point of view delivers very strong messages, sometimes drawing on this historic that are low. and i can tell you that both of historical style and this war is full. everybody news from this war is

full on for one must. those who are trying to, you know, to dream that, you know, there will be peace talks, russian, russia will withdraw. this is not, it's me, and it's not going to happen. eventually, we'll need to get the rest of the equipment. in order for us to fire was russia, while russia to be capacity to replenish their military was new equipment is very limited. and then yesterday, they introduced the least of the countries which are not friendly to russia. and it looks like this least they were like majority of congress in the world. it will be easier for them to introduce the least of the friendly countries from russia. russia is doomed to lose its only last time, and unfortunately, it also of question how much ukrainians is going to die in defenders in their country. and then later in, liberating russia from this ugly barbarian regime can

take a brief look at some other news now. and tens of thousands of women have been demonstrating a cross spain on international women state. the largest demonstration was held in madrid with women of all ages marching through the city center. they're taking a stand against any quality and gender violence. any of the professors wore purple, a symbolic color used by women's rights activists. some also held banners denouncing the war in ukraine. and in pakistan, women are rallying on to demand. greater rights pakistan is currently ranked in the 2nd rank, the 2nd lowest country in the world for gender equality. that's according to the global gender gap index. but the government insists it is doing more to improve the quality of all hydro has more from a slum about a is being a commemorated head and bucket. gone with the ordered march. as you can see,

the women who are protesting have for their rights. they of course, were planning to march to parliament. however, they will not be allowed to do so because another political party holding a major rally debt by debt is an increasing momentum when it comes to women's, right. because this country has seen honor killing, it has seen discrimination against women in the workplaces. and many of the female activists are demanding more, right. they said that they should be able to decide on their own destiny and on their own future. women's rights are not for negotiation, not for debate, not for discussion or demand, constitutional arguments, a basic and fundamental right now. some of their demands of gauge paper, edge less discrimination in the workspace is they of course have also come out of up and they make enraged,

domestic violence has become an issue. the government of august honors now set up a special unit in order to take the complaint of knowing women who are being abused at home or who are being discriminated against because of the gender. gender protection unit is basically a 247 facility in which we have established a cell in which we have only the police officers or women who faces had asked mental any kind of why them can access this facility 247. this is one of its kind facility, and it is something which would be designated as there because this violence is present every day and the need to ensure that we success is present to the 50 percent female population that we have. now they say they did a growing wash and back gone, but that other gums ever done it earlier. men who do not necessarily agree with all the demands of this particular forum. so to come on the al jazeera and use our

business in russia. full time, major champion, rory mcelroy was among those critical of rushes, actions, and hopes. big name brands continue to turn their backs on russia. i mean, i've seen a lot of companies and pull back. i saw shell, today's not going to buy russian oil. yeah, and i think at this point it's only the right thing to do. i think the international community has to come together. i don't know if they can stop it or, you know, make it more difficult or whatever it is. but it's, it's around just what's going on. and you know, i think everyone can agree with those people in ukraine right now need help is to know, fall on their own. they're going to what they're going through. so you know, luckily i know the pga tour and some of the golf industries are working in something to support that which you know, i think a lot of us my jump on i really, i'm a loss of wars every time i think about this. i can't believe it. honestly, i just have a hard time believing. we'll go through put in mind to be doing this 3 time grants

and champion andy murray says he will donate his prize money for the rest of 2022 to help children affected by russians attack on ukraine. the former will. number one has been working with unicef to provide medical supplies. the governing bodies of tennis have also said building a $700000.00 to provide support for humanitarian if it's in the country. will number 3 tennis player alexander that has been given an 8 week suspended band from the a t p to following his violent outburst attitude him in mexico last month. the olympic champion struck be on by his chair multiple times, losing a double match that have also received an additional $5.00 and $25000.00. the band will come into effect, should he re offend in the next 12 months. the 3rd to find over the incident of $60000.00 tennis channel come with john with i'm says the punishment failed to fit the crime. that's active violence was just extraordinary for tennis, that was inches away from the empire and bear my 2. this is a players thereof who is currently under investigation or alleged domestic violence

. so for him to act like that, while this other investigation for a violent act is ending it, it just inexplicable that he is not being suspended properly in a conventional league primarily be an adult or there's wires on one side management on the other. there's a bargaining agreement and players are up in or suspended while the investigation is underway. that kind of policy doesn't exist in tennis. so by, you know, by, by the letter of the law, you should be playing use an independent contractor. however, the, the optic here are just terrible and i wonder why europe himself doesn't just say, listen, this is bad for the sport. nobody, when you're, i'm going to duck out until this investigation is complete. but for him to go on playing is really fairly extraordinary. this is a partnership, 5050 players and turner, so the players don't want to sanction their own. and the tournaments remember, no back brokovich on back me just playing a lot. roger federer is injured. serena williams isn't playing, they need star. so i think the tournament doesn't have much incentive to suspend

their job and the players don't want to suspend one of their colleagues and what you're left with is this unfortunate situation. we have the 1st taste as in pakistan and australia ended in a draw enroll, pending earlier australia was still batting the 1st in the start of play. thing nominally, eventually ended with 6 wickets as the whole attract a 17 run 1st innings lead. but there is no real chance of result from that point. pakistani opener's abdulla shaft week and a mammal hoc did take advantage, though both men had centuries in an unbidden partnership of 250 to the 2nd 5th in karachi. thoughts on saturday. okay, that's all the sports news, barbara. back to you in london. peter, thank you. well, let that is it for this news hour. do stay with us though. i'm going to be back in just a few minutes with the latest on everything that's going on in ukraine. in the meantime . of course, you can that check out our website al jazeera dot com ah
