6:02 pm
place in turkey. falling ministers from both countries man was far from reaching an agreement beside us. president joe biden is speaking to turkeys. president roger type one on the phone. anchor has so far, refused to impose sanctions on russia and european union laid as our meeting in beside to consider new sanctions and ukraine's request to join the block where i live in antalya, the white house and verse sigh. but 1st a report from crush. what name? we should warn you. you might find some of the images here to be disturbing. a man shook a child patterned winter coat, peak out from a black tarps that have become a funeral shroud. this narrow 25 meter long trench is a mass grave. in the besieged city of merrill pole, the mayor says more than 1200 people have been killed. there are no basic services,
6:03 pm
aid groups or warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. because this one is going to perform well. the only thing i want is for this to be finished. i don't know who's guilty, who's right, restarted this, damn them, all those people who started this 3 more humanitarian corridors were expected to open on thursday. according to the ukrainian government, $35000.00 people found safe passage on wednesday, but thousands more remained trapped. turkey hosted the highest level of talks between russia and ukraine. since the invasion began, the foreign ministers of both countries met in the city of antalya. russia did not commit to a cease fire or a humanitarian corridor in marrow pool. i did my best to at least find a diplomatic solution. we also raised the issue of
6:04 pm
a fire 24 hour fire to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this in the south of the country. soldiers fought in the street in suburb the capital keys, journalists reported intense fighting over night. the ukrainian government says russia continues to advance with the goal of surrounding the capital. we said humility is up to you. we don't want militarization of ukraine. you can do it even without nato. we don't want the preservation of the tendency to create a new nazi state and ukraine. of course we want ukraine to be neutral in the u. n. has now verified that 516 civilians have died since russia invaded ukraine 2 weeks ago. but says the actual toll will be much higher. in morrow, paul,
6:05 pm
more burials are expected. so far. 70 people, some who died of natural causes, have now been laid to rest. in this mass grave inside one of the small cities, old cemetery natasha going to l just 0. let's go over now to jamal a sheil. he joins us live from and talia in southern turkey. so jamal, that meeting between the russian and ukrainian fondness does it seem to end with both sides poles apart, right. and in the same way, it starts, or at least in terms of where each country positions itself with regard to this war . as you mentioned, there, russia saying that it will continue its bombardments and it's a tax on ukraine until it is demilitarized, as the russian foreign minister described it, saying that his country's goals haven't changed ukraine. interesting, that's sufficient facilities must be implemented immediately. and thing that even
6:06 pm
though they had simply for 24 hour ceasefire that that was rejected. so people are offering what's has been achieved as far as turkey is concerned. the country that toasted this high level meeting, they will say that at least discussions negotiations have begun. that this type of talks between the senior officials from both sides is a promising but they're from minister the circle for a minute. somebody already said that nobody should expect any miracles, at least not in the immediate future. it's the language used by the ukrainian foreign minister and the russian foreign minister is something that's very interesting. suddenly, the ukranian one said that it appeared the law had no power to make any decisions and not to appear to be an attempt by kiev to frame this as a war that is being waged as squarely by vladimir putin. an attempt to further isolate him, particularly from the international community here or not. and tanya,
6:07 pm
there will be more members of the international community, including the general of nature as well as for ministers of several other countries that will be gathering at the talent the magic form in the next 2448 hours. and there will be when you push to isolate there, what's actually a saying, it would like to see if some sort of a diplomatic solution to this war. it is what it will be on the agenda, in those discussions between or, or the one and by then as well as other bilateral meetings that will be taking place. now, aside from one of this, one of the things that both turkey and russia stress, it was the powerful discussions that have been taken place on the border between ukraine, embedded routes between both sides or b. it's a much lower level. they said that this must continue, those are focused on things and i q managerial car doors and the preservation of life. but obviously they haven't yielded the results that ukrainians would have liked to see. if there's a view all these attacks that have taken place on civilian locations across the country, so high level talks 1st time in 2 weeks, but still very,
6:08 pm
very long way to go before we'll see any tangible results. if this promotion process is going to bear fruit anytime soon, tomorrow we're going to thank you for that. we're going to continue this planning more towards when it comes to diplomacy over this says take list to kimberly, how can she's joining us from the white house. so kimberly, we've got this conversation coming up between the us president and ty about one. well, can we expect it's really a difficult question to answer, given the fact that there is such a complicated relationship between the united states and turkey. so given the fact that we have this upcoming call between both leaders of the united states and turkey, it is a bit of a head scratcher in terms of the message that the u. s. president hopes to convey. but certainly, given the fact that there have been such high losses of life in ukraine and the
6:09 pm
concern by the u. s. president, the western community about the russian invasion of ukraine. there is hope that turkey can play a unique role in potentially trying to mediate some sort of see fire in this conflict. and so we assume that that is going to be the focus of this conversation . but again, the relationship between these 2 nato allies and partners is a complicated one, given the fact that the united states and the other nato allies have been very upset at times with turkey, particularly for his decision to purchase a russian designed weapon system in the past. one that is not compatible with us based systems, and that certainly calls into question where turkeys alliances are at times, given the fact that nato partners are for the most part, pushing back against russian aggression. but in this particular scenario, this may make turkey uniquely positions for trying to deal with these 2
6:10 pm
sides and so on. the offer of the turkish leader to try and broker some sort of a mediation or some sort of pause in this conflict. the u. s. president, taking this opportunity to try and recognize that there may be a unique role. so we'll be watching very carefully to see what sort of read out comes from this conversation. said to take place over the telephone and the oval office in the midst of all of this, we shouldn't forget the role of the vice president comma harris also taking place in warsaw. poland the vice president, very quickly articulating once again that the u. s. commitment to article 5, that is the attack on one that nato allies, an attack on all that the u. s. would come to the defense of any country that may be attacked. should there be any spillover of. 8 this conflict from ukraine into
6:11 pm
another neighboring nation, including poland, is something that the u. s. would entertain the vice president also very quickly, once again, echoing her concerns about that attack this week on that maternity hospital saying that should be investigated for war crimes. all right, good. thanks so much. kimberly. plenty more still to talk about. of course in europe on different medic edits, jane space joins us now from the side. we're expecting a big gathering of the leaders of what's on the table for them. well, i'm afraid it's more depressing news with regard to efforts to draw and get peace, or at least to cease far ahead of the talk to the taking place. here there's been a phone call with the russian president vladimir putin. he was joined on a call by the german chancellor and the french president, but nothing really came out of that. sadly, they pushed him for
6:12 pm
a c spot. and they said any negotiations have to be in the format that you saw earlier on today in turkey, direct negotiations between the russians and the ukrainians. so on the efforts to get a seas for no progress at all. the diplomacy then will, i think again look ways to strengthen the efforts to isolate russia. could that be more sanctions? the european union, i think has done most of what it can do, but they will be looking for any loopholes that exist with regard to sanctions. the other thing that the ukrainians would want from the european union, ukraine wants to join the e. u and it wants to join nato. what with regard to the european union? if that was to happen, the key people that you have to convince of the leaders of the european union, there's 27 countries and those leaders in the next 20 minutes. so. so arriving in the palace behind me now some the latvian prime minister, for example says make ukraine a candidate countries straight away that banks. questions what you do with other
6:13 pm
countries like georgia or moldova, do they become candidate countries as well? and even if they were to take that step, which some would like, and it's a big if at this stage they might go for something short of that like a new political declaration of on the subject. but even if they were to make that step, i do have to warn you that the process from becoming a candidate country to actually becoming a member of the you with a very, very long process. all sorts of criteria to be met. all sorts of boxes to be ticked by the process. thanks so much, james dice, for explaining it to us. now let's take you now to the ground in ukraine, where this is how things stand on. what is 15 days of russia's war. russian forces are in control of all these areas in red, fighting across several cities and across the country. now in the besieged city, mario poll that scene, some of the heaviest fighting so far. let's look at these are the latest satellite
6:14 pm
images which show the scale of devastation. these are homes in the city before the russian bombardment, and this is what's left afterwards. these were shopping centers on the outskirts of the city they go, our recent images show have been almost completely destroyed. more attacks have been reported on mario poll that surrounded by russian forces. ukraine says food and water is running out for about $400000.00 people traps inside. there are warnings of starvation unless russia let's a through spring in jonah, how he joins us now. live from live. so we heard, 1st of all, jonah, the russian foreign minister say, hey, that hospital in marion poll, hit by russian fire. that was actually housing combatants. what's been the ukrainian reaction to that sort of line?
6:15 pm
will absolute outrages you can well imagine expressed by the president of his landscape. we'll hear from him in a moment. but in terms as well, of this negotiating, tracking on tele, absolute incredulity on the part of to be true. labor foreign minister who was sitting opposite. so guy love love. when he made those comments, mister could i said this and at times it was hard to actually listen to what the foreign minister had to say, particularly with reference to those sorts of comments that this attack on the maternity hospital. mario paul was the fault of the ukrainians themselves for stationing fighters allegedly alternation loose fighters and military equipment in the vicinity of that civilian building. and he went on to say that the ukrainians were generally using civilians as human shields all over the country, therefore were themselves to blame for all sorts of other attacks. he talked about ukraine operating biological and chemical warfare. factories funded by the western
6:16 pm
locations in and around the capital here. click the message that it sends to the ukraine in 72 before mister mister labor. in what he was saying was that this is not a genuine negotiating track. it's not genuinely intended to produce results. it's a sort of parallel reality when common ground is impossible. and he said, you know, genuine negotiations would only come about once the russians felt that, for whatever reason, they've achieved enough of the battlefield or they've achieved the surrender of ukraine. and it wasn't going to be mr. lever of the foreign minister who would decide that. but only one man, and that one man of course, let me uprooted. he said, you cannot stop the war if the country that started it is not prepared to stop the war, mr. oliver said, and he promised that ukraine would not surrender. we'll take us now to what blood to me, zelinski said, as i said, expressing his outrage at russia's comments about that attack on the maternity hospital a married or asked him, obama divining in the bombing of the maternity ward and hospital in mary a play. we
6:17 pm
lost 3 people among them, one girl, 17 others were wounded including children, women and medical workers on russia, tv, they mentioned it, but they didn't say a single word of the truth. they lied saying there were no patient, women, or children in the ward. russians were lied to the narrative that there were nationalists who were in these positions when i'm alone, these war crimes are impossible with that propaganda. and jonah, what about the civilian cora doors? are they still holding people getting out? look to be totally honest. we're not getting a lot in the way of reports even by social media about the success of humanitarian corridors on thursday. we know that was limited success. on wednesday, the 35000 people were able to make their escape from a range of different locations and the day began on thursday with word from the ukranian side that at least 3 other corridors would be opened from sumi in the north, from vulnerable and is you in the east,
6:18 pm
we don't hear anything to the country. let's put it that way. we're not hearing about a tax in those places so we can assume that some sort of humanitarian escape is taking place. but nothing like on the scale that is required. we are hearing from mary paul we did earlier here for mary paul, the humanitarian convoy that was trying to get into the city was shelled and had to turn around and head back up to where is your from where it's at origin aided. so no escape from the 200000 people estimated inside murray of paul who want and need desperately to leave who been besieged for 10 days now and are without all their basic needs short on medicine, short on food. and we got to talk about the capsule habits. the mayor says half the residents have been evacuated. what's left of the city, one of those facing who are still in there. well, evacuated or fled. this is a city of between 3 and 4000000 people. a lot of people would have homes outside
6:19 pm
the capital would have family elsewhere. a lot of people will organically have simply left him. the key of has had russian troops surrounding it at various points all the way through. and it's been a sort of waiting game, awful anticipation for them inside the city. for the moment when it would be into entirely encircled and potentially receipts for whatever reason, the russians have been slowed down, logistical, and supply problems, mechanical breakdown installed. but a lot of people, the mess says vitale clips go have left roughly 2000000 people. he says, what remains of the city now? every street, every building, every check point is $45.00 and they maintain their defense. and remember those 2000000 people, those who haven't gone to other places, other homes and family, will contribute to that extraordinary exit is 2300000 people have left the country . now, according to the u. n. h c, are at a rate of something like 160000 people every day. thanks so much, jonah,
6:20 pm
how they're from laverne now members of ukraine, state emergency services have disarmed the bomb and they've, using only their bare hands and a bottle of water. take a look at this the the amnesty international is accused russia of using unguided aerial bombs or dumb bombs in the city. one strike last week killed 47 people and may constitute a war crime. according to its investigators. the kremlin says, the russian economy is experiencing a shock, but it's doing what it can to soften the impact of western sanctions. spokesmen dmitri pest golf described the meshes as an unprecedented economic war against moscow. he said the situation was turbulent, but was confident it would stabilize. russia's economy is facing its biggest crisis
6:21 pm
since the fall of the soviet union in the 1990 russia's president got to be a very nice called sanctions against this country. illegal. he says, well, work around them, you know, just saying, you know, if you, with regards to countries making hostile steps towards this, they are calling on their citizens to save and dress warmly, which shows that the sanctions they are introducing against us impact their own economy. we want to stress that we are filling all our energy supply obligations in full everything we have to supply. we are supplying to our consumers in europe, 100 percent. that on the us, we together with our partners. those who don't recognize these unlawful actions. we will find solutions for all these problems. go without the dos giovanni's, she's life for us in the russian capital, moscow. so you listen to those statements. i, russian officially, you gotta wonder how want to delve a becoming about the impacts of sanctions. dorsen well,
6:22 pm
there is certainly going to be changes in this country's economic future in this session that the president just had with a series of ministers and advisors, financial advisors in the country. and we heard a few new things that the government's going to be doing in the coming weeks. the 1st thing is that the, according to the finance minister, they are going to be allocating 500000000000 roubles from the state budget to provide handouts to families across russia who have children between the ages of 8 and 16. now that depends on where you are located in the country. it would depend on how much money you received. now, this is something that is going to start from the 1st of april, and families will receive money in their accounts for 2 months in advance. the other thing that the president appeared to give his go ahead to was something that
6:23 pm
has been discussed in various different levels of government. and that is the fate of the various properties and assets of foreign entities that have left russia. the russian president had said that these companies that have left could see their properties and assets seized and then be under the supervision of what he called external management. to understand this to be his go ahead to basically allocate those entities to go into a government funded program. that means that those companies that had a foreign and shareholder stake, for example, shell, had just over 20 percent interest in the largest or the gas company in russia. gas from those shares could not go back to the states and the assets scroll to be going back to the government. this is something that the president seem to be in favor up
6:24 pm
. there is also the discussion about how russia will not shut itself off from the international community, even though the companies that have decided to leave really we'll see losses as a result of it. and the president was adamant that any kind of problems, economically that is coming their way. they'll be able to handle it and you go on to door. so as you see more brands either pull out of russia or limit their services. what's the psychological impact of that on your average? russian well, i think it depends how old they are. the younger generation certainly has grown up over the past 30 years with a certain kind of lifestyle, but it's been very much open to western culture. you, you had brands such as starbucks, nike, apple, these kinds of stories were here all over the city. and now over the past few days, they've all shut down their stores and branches. so i think it's certainly going to
6:25 pm
be an adjustment, but the older generation who remember living under the rule is certainly remember the time when these things were not around and they were doing just fine. many of those people said there's really nothing that they will lose when mcdonald's announced that they were shutting down 850 restaurants to temporarily. for now, there were people who were really shopped, but said it's not a huge loss for the average russian. i think there's a sense that economically things will become much more difficult, but the government is adamant that we are able to provide for the average citizen, whatever they're lacking, whether or not they will be able to deliver on that promise remains to be seen. all right, thanks so much so so that now in emergency meetings being held on the future of chelsea football club, the sanctions were imposed on its own a roman abram, of which the russian billionaires planned to sell. chelsea now on hold. the u. k.
6:26 pm
government is issued travel bands and frozen the assets of abram bitch and 6 of the wealthy russians. chelsea can still play in the premier lee. they can't sell tickets for games. merchandise shop will be close and he can't buy or sell players on the transfer market either on abram of which is worth around $12000000000.00. he's also has stakes in steel, giant of ross norris, nicole and other billionaire o. like. oscar has been hit with the same measures. they had stakes in the end, close metals group because that gene is the chief executive of oil giant ross lift and is considered putin's right hand man. and for others, considered to be part of coatings in a circle. i've also been sanctioned and the fox is in london with more on those sanctions. how are they impacting the situation there when they talk to now, some of the ali galks i mentioned needs a nice big
6:27 pm
question because it really depends on how you view the all the gods and what their role is in relation to vladimir putin. what they appear to be is to have any political swale influence on vladimir putin, the, unlikely to exert any kind of pressure to get the russian president to pull back from ukraine. i think it's easier though, to see the legs over me on the upper move, it shouldn't be pasco, and the long list of all those more is kind of financial repository, is not any of their own personal wealth. but also of latin may have putin's wealth as well. so in targeting the likes of brokovich and the others, you essentially, you would essentially strangle the flows, the revenue directly to put in those immediately around him as well. but this of course is a huge symbolic blow for the likes of a bomb event. she's been in the owner of chelsea carpet 19 years presided over a real reversal of the clubs, the fortunes at the same time. though,
6:28 pm
what does it day? 15 of the war, the moment it from events. another thing that's always been coming from quite a way off and they have made attempts, of course to ship their assets to put the club on the market to shift some of abramoff riches huge a property portfolio. we've got 15 bedroom house in west london worth $200000000.00, but it's been on the market this week is also going through our passports in portugal and israel, and he's been in the u a. a lot. he's been given, of course, a huge chance to shift his cash around. there was no shortage of opportunities for him and others to move that. and of course, possibly putins financial assets into say for places talking about the opportunities for people. what about those ukrainian refugees trying to get into the u. k. and they've made some changes. how much is you? k immigration policy really changed now? yeah, that's a big debate here in the u. k. losa, because the u. k. has played
6:29 pm
a pivotal role really in supplying financial economic and military aids to ukraine, continued to pass the pressure pressure on the kremlin as well. but the same time big questions about the extent of its humanitarian health. given that 2000000 ukrainians of now fled west. many of them have gone to european capitals, and despite drive by the british government to allow as many as 200000 people here on family, visa is an unlimited number, or mandatory and ground. roney, talking about numbers in the high hundreds that have made it has so far a lot because they've been overwhelmed by huge amounts of red tape. they've been forced to fear, impersonal conflict senses across different cities and locations in europe. i mean, it was the story of amanda and made it all the way to kyle a need to be told you had to go to brussels or paris. and when he arrived at one of those cities who found the office was closed, this is on top of course of the trauma of escaping and invasion. well, now that the government is ease things a little little bit so from choose
6:30 pm
a people with passports, ukrainian passports, that is the identity cause will be able to apply online. but nevertheless, there is a growing pressure from the british government to simply get rid of the requirement for these as a tool, and to accept this for what it is a massive humanitarian disaster sweeping across europe. nevertheless, neve, we are over all seeing you take a very different approach to ukranian refugees compared to those from the middle east and africa. right? yeah, of course. and we can of course, ignore those images from not long ago any a few weeks ago of pushback, bipolar police on the borders of bella. ruth, of course, you know, there is a very different attitude in poland to the plight of its nearest davis neighbors. and of course, in poland, a country that had gotten through and out the other side of communism as experienced the blood force of the soviet union apply to you. and just going to get an opportunity for me to chime with many of those people. but of course,
6:31 pm
these countries are being accused of double standards of only allowing in the right kind of refugees where the reality anybody need, is, is, should be granted kind of refuge wherever possible. thanks so much nice. there. on the u. s. vice president says nato is prepared to defend every inch of its territory. criminal harris was speaking in poland capital after meeting the country president. under i do that is calling for tough a sanctions against moscow. what is at stake this very moment or some of the guiding principles around the nato alliance. and in particular, the issue and the importance of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity in this case of ukraine. as president do that has described, we have been witnessing for weeks and certainly just in the last 24 hours
6:32 pm
atrocities of unimaginable proportion in reference to the notice of his day. a mister goes proverb, we must save ukraine. ok. we all understand that we must have all hands on deck, yet. we have to keep unity within nato, which we have to maintain solidarity and speak in one voice as well as in the european union and other international organizations. we need to introduce more sanctions against russia. we cannot tolerate such military actions which are akin to crimes against humanity. because nobody can have any doubt. if people should rockets and drop bombs on hospitals, that is the barbarity that is akin to genocide. from 1200000 ukranian refugees are in poland, san basra. we joined us from dekalb on the border with ukraine. so saying a lot of issues they have to do with refugees,
6:33 pm
but also the issue between the u. s. and poland of how to send alms to ukraine and they sorted out we saw the pictures of kevin harrison, the parish president meeting there. that's exactly right to me, the vice president from the united states come, harris, commended poland for its role and reacting quickly to an unprecedented refugee crisis once again in europe. but it's also important to note that poland is possibly arguably the most important military allies in nato. that the united states has. it is no secret if it's open information. well reported that all of the lethal laid weapons that are being sent into your brain by western allies. we're talking about germany, turkey, canada, united states, european union countries, all of the lethal laid all of the defensive equipment that they're sending, including anti tank weapons, the anti aircraft weapons. these are all going up before the aerospace was closed.
6:34 pm
they would fly in, but now they are going in by a train via cargo trucks across the border, going through poland and growing into the ukraine to where they are needed. we've seen the profile of this country change in a matter of weeks just since we've been here since the start of the russian invasion in ukraine. there are more helicopters in the sky patrolling the borders for any sort of potential russian threat. increase president anti terror police and military at the borders. certainly as part of the high security alert that ukraine is under at the moment we spoke to spokesman for the intelligence services and said that poland is on guard for all manner of potential false flag attacks and subversion, not just in the cyberspace, but also in the real world on the ground on the polar side of the border. so holding certainly is taking on a much more important role, much more militarized role. and as far as the united states is concerned right now,
6:35 pm
their primary concern as far as nato it goes, is to draw a red line at poland. and that would be emphasized by the fact that the vice president confirm the delivery of air defense missile systems patriot missiles to poland. all right. thanks so much jane, before you there on the polish border still ahead an al jazeera, venezuela, hope sanction can be lifted. it looks for all tentative supplies off the binding russian oil. and then for 5, it was get to hands on one of the few on those missing from the hyphen collection. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored by cut on airways. hello, we got all sorts guy across the middle east at the moment. little bit of winter,
6:36 pm
little bit of summer. we have got to cloud and rain, sleet, and snow across northern parts of the region, spilling out levant, running in across at east side of turkey. fair but a snow here that will cause some disruption, just clipping northern parts of syria. iraq pushing over towards iran. further south is that have the $35.00 celsius here in doha, he already on less hotel. we go on into sas day, but still pretty hot enough. as it is says of the soda temperatures we would expect in the month of may further north. the wintry flowers should become fewer and further between the wind slowly but surely. starting to east down still what a breeze across east some parts of the mediterranean pushing across into, nor the parts of africa for friday, with one or 2 showers. he and some showers said to crash, gathering round northern parts of morocco. northern areas found syria, hama time when picking up some dustin sand, pushing over towards west africa as we go on through friday and plenty of showers. sand now started to show the hand across the gulf of guinea,
6:37 pm
joining up the showers. we have a call central africa little further south which as well. and i try to cite klune that's making his way across northern parts of mozambique with the likelihood of flooding. the weather been said by katara ways, from the london broadcast center to special gas income the station proceeded, all about trying to get a superior reputation on from ted uninterrupted, where we find the most profound similarity is not actually in our classes living relative, but much more distant connection, intimately reflecting on the issues of our time, they're going to be a cooperative species because of the need to all the reference thread. the whole, the tide studio be unscripted coming soon on al jazeera stories of life. and inspiration in a series of sure documentary from around the world. ah,
6:38 pm
that's center. bring the human spirit against the odds. i just 0 select palestinians. ah, ah ah, well, come back, you'll launching out just time to recap those headlines now. russia says there were no patients inside the hospital bombed on wednesday and asked, trying to destroy the maternity in children's units in the besieged, ukrainian city of merrier. all 3 people are reported to have been killed. the mayor
6:39 pm
of kids says, half the population is flies, back from 2000000 people. for weeks, the launch rush and convoy is kind of been coming towards the ukrainian capital, sparking 5th of an assault highest level talk. since russia invaded ukraine of ended with little sign of progress, 30 foreign minister hosted his ukrainian and russian camp in am. kahlia and european union leaders are meeting invest in france due to the new sanction and ukraine's request to join the blog. alright, joining us now on said is milan bichon al jazeera senior political analyst, it was good to have you here on one. so lot of diplomacy going on a lot of talks, a lot of meetings that seems to be going know whether it may or is that the way it is? that's the way it is and sort of depressing of course, but that's how it is wars, right? then anything about the sound of bombing the sin to drown everything else,
6:40 pm
including human suffering. but there are clearly the 2 sides and by the 2 sides, i don't just mean the russians and the cranes. i mean, the russians and the americans, the bigger 2 sides to they are not exactly very interested now in ending this war. clearly, the kremlin thinks that they have a number of military objectives, strategic objectives, political objectives that they need to achieve before they actually sit down, start discussing seriously, and they think they can do it and they think they can do it. or at least they say they are on track or doing it, and that's where they keep insisting. right. and the american seems to want to exhaust whatever ukrainian resistance there is to the russian forces and whatever international pressure could build up to bloody, not ukraine. put in name in the international arena. so for the time being what we have now in a situation where to buy at best, the best,
6:41 pm
what we've seen in turkey and onwards is an attempt to manage the war, not the end, the war brian bits talking about these fires for 24 hours. humanitarian, 40 doors, they're trying to manage the war and they couldn't even get that. they couldn't even get that excuse by expression, but they're trying to humanize the war and that's not working out. and why it's because once again, the russian said we have objectives you want to do, and that window of opportunity for actually not having this hot or has closed some 2 weeks ago when we made you a number of offers and you rejected all of them. now you see the process for the united states is a completely different calculus. one is what it was either meant he was going to do with no matter what, what it doesn't matter how, how or when we talk to him, he was going to do it. so we can have to wait it out. all right, we're looking at should point out 2 years. we're looking at live pictures coming in from the sy in france, where leaders of the you will be gathering some choice,
6:42 pm
you know, model one, looking over all the picture. then given, you know, the picture of meetings like baseball of what you're saying. it sounds like the stage really is set for more escalation and things are going to get messier. absolutely. but speaking with your opinions, you know, it was interesting for the last several weeks. it was your opinions who were insisting on the diplomatic way forward. and that's important, and that's to their credit. but somewhere between the escalation of the russians and the escalations of the americans, they somehow ended up joining their partners, nato, the west against fulton who was adamant on invading, kind of lost the diplomatic initiative of loss. and it's, and now it's, they also lost their clout within nato. they lost their trout within the western security structure. why? because if you remember only a few few months ago, few years ago, they were talking about net to being branded now to being irrelevant. that these
6:43 pm
are the wards of prison macro, but today they are active member of nato, and they're going to need to support whatever need to need to do in order to, to, to, to their russia. are they deterring russia clearly not? are the sanctions? they said in russia, clearly, not clearly russia things as a superpower, whether it is or not. it is thinking as one thinking about sphere of influence. thinking that you can must be a sphere of it for us, for moscow, not for washington. and hence, diplomacy is not going to move forward as long as we have this kind of discrepancy, this kind of total disconnect of where we're coming from and what to expect section of reality. or i thanks so much. manuel michelle was good talking to now turkey vowing to maintain relations with both russia and ukraine. but that's easier said than done because of of one thing. younger fee. 30 shares of maritime border with
6:44 pm
both countries in the black sea. ankara has bod warships from passing through the boss for us and don daniels stripes that connect the black sea to the mediterranean . turkey is called the invasion unacceptable, but opposes sanctions against moscow. and it hasn't joined the european allies in barring rushing across from its skies. for the same time, turkey strands of become familiar sites in the skies over ukraine targeting russian forces on the ground. but anchor insist shipments of private sales and not military aid. us. if our brother is an international security and politics expert, he was also a colonel in the turkish army and worked on a nato bass. he joins us now from anchor, a good to have you with us. so turkey kind of trying to walk a very fine line that can continue to do this as the conflict intensifies. yeah, as the conflict spicy to very also difficult to keep the connection both together
6:45 pm
with ukraine last and russia, but they can take a look at the position of the european countries. also they are also nip and in many areas. so the russia, especially for terms of, in terms of energy and food and ro, materials for that reason. it is not easy to keep the relation of functioning with both parties, but it is not the impossible but use of isn't there a difference now, because we can see europe is clearly trying to break that dependency, or at least trying to diversify that dependency. that sort of decision hasn't been made in ankara. has it? yeah, no, i can't say that the europe now is trying to diverse by your energy resources. but let me remind you that 30 is diversifying it is energy resources since 3 years. while that you are not being for example,
6:46 pm
for now 30 diverse 5 is energy resources promos, are by john from l n g and build up some epis are you you and it's, you know, going to use the l. n g of natural gas, which turkey is producing from united states from ca start from algeria. i'm from nigeria. so i can say that you start to diversify. it is energy resources 3 years before what the europe is not trying to do. why that's a good point. ok from another perspective, when you look at what's happening with the meetings, for example being hosted in on talia. is this conflict increasing turkish leverage over both russia and the west? yeah, because i can say that especially in britain on some european countries after the imation has stopped the last they are initiated in order to find the diplomatic solution to the problem. because during the tash and was keeping since
6:47 pm
2014, they almost did nothing for the side of ukraine accepting the britain. i can say, for example, the turkey falls to the united ukrainian, the 5th generation defense h o one, including the u. a. b on man aerial vehicles, which now the ukranian armed forces is using the most literal map and systems inside the u. greenfield. but let's take a look at the german and german almost did not think and reject that to sell any of apple to the ukraine. but at that point, now we can see the germany in the front line trying to blockades, but the russia is the now, but it is too late for this isn't from my point perspective, 30 can be and mediator which has faces in order to talk with the board sites, all right, get your thoughts on that. thanks so much. you. now, by the way,

peace, for everything. for the last 3 years, washington is recognized opposition leader, one why? law as and his whalers transition president. but the ukraine crisis and the sky rocketing price of fuel seemed to be setting the stage for a more prag magic approach to u. s. venezuelan relations. if you do not impress humanity, there's an extraordinary correlation between major oil producing countries and autocratic rulers. the u. s. doesn't want to buy russian iranian or venezuelan oil, the saudis finance the fine, so she barden, you don't have the luxury right now to choose who you buy from the key pitcher process down. you have to pick the lesser evil. is the one that doesn't mean that washington is close to recognizing, mellowed out. one thing is business and another politics. there is, after all, a long history of commercial ties between countries that don't have diplomatic relations to see in human al jazeera or still had on al jazeera in

6:53 pm
of the country as a response to russia's invasion of ukraine, which had been hoping to rush through the sale of the club. but that plan has now being put on colt. the club can not sell any more match tickets, but existing season ticket holders will be able to attend matches. chelsea's merchandise shop has been closed down. chelsea won't be allowed to buy or sell players while the functions are in place for now. the club can pay the wages of its employees, including players and coaching staff. brumbalow bit cannot sell the club at this point. the government may allow that in the future, but only if there is a guarantee that he gets no money from the deal. well, football right, gavin hamilton says, even if chelsea is put back up for sale, a buyer will be hard to find he has lent the clock 1500000000 pounds over the course of his own shit. and he was prepared to write those debts off. but now the assets are frozen. chelsea
6:54 pm
r officially 1500000000000000 pounds in debt and unable to repay that. and no potential owner is going to be prepared to take on a club with that sort of mindset. and when the assets have been frozen in the future so uncertain, so it leaves the plans very chaotic at the moment. i'm really uncertain as to where chelsea how chelsea finished this thing and let alone pay for the future. the government has given chelsea a license to carry on paying the players. but the problem that chelsea have is that there's no money coming into the club. the biggest source of revenue is tv. money, then sponsorship money and get money. but that if any of those companies go into a frozen bank account and so there are questions now about how chelsea will manage to pay their staff, not just the players, but all the stuff and how long they can continue doing that. and at some point, if this continues for a few weeks, there's a very strong possibility. i think the chelsea will be forced into administration
