who sign on no matter where it takes a police fill in. if you guys were my empowering in pasha, we tell your story. we are your voice. you knew your neck out here. oh, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm sammy a dan. this is the news i live from. go, how coming up in the next 60 minutes? the besieged city of mary paul comes on the more russian fire after a children's hospital with bomb, an open ambush of a russian convoy of tang snare key. if capital turns into a fortress with half its residence, gone, foreign ministers of ukraine and russia failed to reach

a breakthrough to end the conflict in the 1st high level told in turkey the european union lead is meeting in the side to consider new sanction and ukraine's request to join the blog. britain imposes sanctions on chelsea club, roman abram, of ich, and 6 other rationale was linked to the kremlin in for we'll look at what those sanctions mean for the future of chelsea football club with abramoff which assets are frozen. his plan to sell the club is all hope. the. let's begin the news. i was very legs is developments on that war in ukraine. the city of merrier poll remain surrounded by russian forces for more than 400000 people trapped without water, food, and electricity. oh, there's no way out. we are live in cave and live 1st ukraine's capital was

that boston. so let's start with a drug strike. we've seen pictures of taking place on that column of russian armor . what is the aftermath look like now? well that was definitely an enormous column of things going towards the ukranian capital going to this city, key of which is seen as the main prize here for vladimir put in war. so the ukrainians have shown that they have destroyed part of this column. it seems to be drone strikes, but they also were talking about an ambush. several also ukrainian soldiers die to during this battle. but what they said, they got the 1st, the commander of the 6 regiment of the said tank column, and they stopped it basically because they hit the 1st part of the whole column. so

how did this going to slow down the advance, the offensive from russia towards the capital? it still remains to be seen to is still very happy fighting going on around the cap and capital, especially also in the northwest, but also in the north east. in the northwest, a lot of cities around ki, if have been really badly destroyed, we've spoken to residents who have been fleeing from there. they describe the scenes as absolutely horrific. most of the apartment blocks have been shot at their holes. they are destroyed. they have been burned, so it's a really fierce battle still. but at the moment, of course, the ukranian army is still managing to hold the capital. so far. you know, there's a question here. step that's, that's on my mind. i'm sure many others as well as that we have seen that column of alma sitting, you know, outside of key of for a while. now, our official,

there's probably not something you can onto, but our officials talking about ukrainian officials about why we haven't seen this kind of operation targeting that column of our much earlier on what was the thinking that's a very good question. of course, we have a war situation here. it's all very sensitive, very secretive. so of course, they're not going to really reveal their strategies. but what we have for seeing is, of course, they have been waiting and seeing how this column is going to move. and it didn't move for quite a while. it was just standing there sitting there with a lot of speculations about shortages of fuel. they needed 3 supplies, shortages of food. but now what we've seen in the last couple of days brochure is that there is some movement by the russian forces. so you could speculate that they have been refueled and resupplied and that they're moving forward towards the capital. there is

a lot of awareness here as well that there could be some kind of mass offensive anytime soon. so people are really making themselves ready for that. and you also see that people who have been fleeing from these areas talking of about a very sophisticated army, they have described to me very well equipped with the newest equipment, the newest uniforms, basically now occupying the cities, which are just an hour away from key if so there's a lot of concern, of course that, you know, there is a lot of the fans here, but there's also definitely a lot coming to this direction refilled and a lot coming towards that direction. i mean that ma, send a tilde down your spine if you're in care of right now and you've, you're in the city, you've been out and about tell us what it looks like right now. how. how do people feel about that? and knowing that they may be coming for them pretty soon. well,

half of the city has flaps. and that says enough, i would say about the fear that there is among the residents here in key. if a $4000000.00 large city normal in normal days, it's every now especially above ground, it's quiet. people are really not on the streets. if they don't have to only the emergency services and the security services below grounds, in the subways, many people are sleeping. they're hiding from shells and bombs, but it's gone to continuous shalley and the outskirts you can hear with most of the day. so there is, of course, a lot of fear, but as also it is defiance. a lot of people really feel like we can, we can defend this city, we trust the ukranian army. they are really still feel despite the fact that is so much coming this way that are going to win this war. all right, awesome. there. thanks for the update from cave. now all eyes are also on the

encircled city of merrier paul, which is completely cut off by russian forces. tasha butler has more from cooley give in west and ukraine. in mariel pool, they are bearing their daddy in mass graves. what was unimaginable 2 weeks ago is now daily life. there is no time for papa good byes in the southern ukrainian. 50 days of russian shilling have killed more than a 1200 people and cut water and power supplies from the b g. when years we have no gas would be a freeze and we have no food. men, lieut. here, trees have been caught. bodies been buried in the yards of their body blogs. it's so scary. we can't leave legs yet. can you pray for mario bull? we are being bombed from all directions, pray for mothers with children, please. it's very hard and it's getting worse. yes, another attack leaves residence in this part of the city. bewildered and wondering

why russia continues to say it's military is not targeting civilian areas, ukrainian forces, infrastructure, but no one here believes that in the eastern city of hock give more apartment blocks, the streets are shattered. after another night of shelling and over the northern city of disguise echo with a now familiar found the me just now there was another strike, a thermal electricity plant was damaged and a civilian building. nearly all of the windows were blown out of our main hospital . the biggest building on childrens hospital, the fighting has not reached west in ukraine, but most people fear that it won't be long. outside the city of dave, i could cultural land like this is key to the war effort. this far might be thought

behind the front lines, but the impact of this war is already being spelled. there was created a renewed sense of duty for petro and his family. farms like his are essential to help feed people in the country. but he says the conflict is disrupting production less than a car, but we are concerned about we'll get seeds, fertilizer and fuel because both now look no delays in receiving any more feed. for example, effect make production or need we label supplied ukrainians. continue to do all they can to help each other and defend their country. but people are getting tired. they want the water end. yes, this one is the only thing i want is for this to be finished. i don't know who's guilty, who's right, who started this them everyone because those people who started this, what do i feel? i just have delivered,

dreaming about the future becomes impossible when the present is a nightmare. when people spend their days battling for survival well being forced to face their worst fears on. tasha butler, al jazeera, coolly kid west in ukraine. esco live to live is now joan holly's. they're watching the situation that's been developing in places like mary upon jonah the, you know, some of the latest lives that come out of russian officials are saying that, hey, that that hospital in marion pull it was hit. it wasn't hosting patients who his hosting combatants and now they're even talking about how it was all staged by ukrainian forces. what kind of reaction are we getting from the ukrainian side that sort of the vine indignant outrage from the president of him is landscape who went on television and

denounced those comments as propaganda. he called the attacks on wednesday of course an atrocity. but at the level of negotiations that were going on, remember earlier on today in turkey and tyler incredulity there as well. foreign minister of foreign minister demitra could labor, the ukrainian foreign minister said afterwards. it was frankly, quite difficult to listen to his counterpart. so gay, love rove, as he talked about, as you mentioned there a hospital in mary, a pole that was not in fact a functioning hospital that had been cleared some time before. of all its patients that had been filled instead with elements of the as of battalion ultra nationalist fighters and that moscow had warned some days before that it was going to be a target that was even tweeted by the russian embassy in london, a tweet that was removed the foreign ministry spokespersons earlier in the morning said it was all fake news. those pictures had been faked. the attack had not even

happened. and mister labrat went on in the talks to say other things he blamed ukraine for all sorts of other attacks on some of the infrastructure saying they were using civilians as human shields. he went on to say that ukraine was operating biological weapon and chemical weapons factories western funded at sites in it around the capital q because mr. calais, but afterwards to wonder whether this was a genuine negotiated negotiation at all mister lover of describing a sort of parallel reality. a mr. could over said, the genuine negotiations would only happen when russia was good and ready when they felt they've done enough on the battlefield. when they had forced ukraine surrender and that it wouldn't be mr. lateral who made that choice. but someone else clear allusion to who else flooded me put in a course. mr. caliber said ukraine could do nothing to stop the war. if those who started it are not prepared to stop the war and he said ukraine would not surrender . john, we had also those diplomatic towards the move today to try and secure some kind of

seas fire to help people evacuate. they didn't go anywhere. why does that leave the humanitarian car doors? well, it didn't go anywhere with specific reference to mary paul. we've had humanitarian corridors that have functioned on some basis for the last couple of days. yesterday . wednesday was a relative success. 35000 people that moved out of a number of embattled centers and on thursday morning it was announced that humanity and carlos would again be open from places like su me in the north bowl. nevada. is you 2 places in the east and the latest word we have? is that 80000 people according to you know, forest who have been able to move out to sue me down to pull tava in the middle of the country, and many of those would have moved on towards the borders of the country. we haven't got numbers on these other places, but what he's certain, according to the deputy prime minister random variable,

is not one single civilian and we're told was able to leave mario poll. an attempt was made shelling k was incoming humanitarian convoy. this order code is the ukrainians, making its way to marry a pole with food and medical supplies had to turn around. so for the hundreds of thousands of people trapped in that city still, who have been besieged for 10 days now, who has shorted food and the central supplies? no heat, no water, no electricity in this dreadful cold weather ordeal goes on. thanks so much joan. however, land, as joan mentioned, foreign ministers of ukraine and russia failed to reach a breakthrough for a sees far in the 1st high level talks in turkey, demolish our reports from antalya. no real tangible results. despite the high profile meeting between the top, diplomats from russia and ukraine, the language used by the 2 in their separate respective press conferences, was very interesting. on the one hand, dmitri color by the,

for our minister of ukraine, said that russia had rejected his country's request for it 24 hours. he's fire. he said that it appeared that moscow's foreign minister didn't even have the power to make decisions for himself. we also. busy raised the issue of a says fire 24 hour fire to resolve the most pressing humanitarian issues. we did not make progress on this, since it seems that there are other decision makers for this, for this matter in the russian. now whether about was ukraine's foreign minister simply scoring points against his russian counterparts, or whether that's a further or furthering the narrative over his country. that the invasion of ukraine and the war on ukraine by russia is in fact one that is soul. you

orchestrated by president neither mere puts in an attempt to further isolate him, analyst will be discussing. on the other side, the russian foreign minister defended his country's actions, saying that they had taken those actions not to occupy ukraine. and so much as to the militarize. it and prevented from becoming what he described as a neo nazi states. you said you military is up. see 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. tarkey says it will continue exhausting all the efforts and all the resources it has to try and find a peaceful solution to this ongoing war. but whilst it enjoys good relationships, both with kiev and with moscow, it doesn't lock in the leverage. and the pressure needed to force concessions from either side over the next 2448 hours, very high level talks taking place,

significant talks and not least the representation that has happened here. and i'm tanya, but still a long way to go before we can find that even the horizons of a diplomatic solution to this ongoing war. now, european union leaders, army thing in the thigh, as russia pushes ahead with its invasion of ukraine. the was economic impact is top of the agenda at the to day summit. leaders will consider imposing fresh sanctions on moscow, but also be discussing ukraine's request to join the blog. go over now talk diplomatic at the james space. he joins us now from verse i and james, i think just a full they sat down and started talking. some of the you leaders got calls from truth in what happened what. what about yeah, i'm afraid that gave a very pessimistic start to this summit on top of what we've heard from jamal that

happened in turkey. a cool was placed by the host of this summit, president macro and by the german chancellor, chancellor schultz to let him in put in. they have agreed to talk again in 48 hours, but out of this call they can't see any chance in the near future. of a c spar. this is how president macro summed up the call. so methodically, he showed some that they could this morning we spoke with president putin will speak to him again in 48 hours and will reinstate our efforts to try and obtain the cease fire. that is so important and to figure out a possibility to get out of this conflicts that concerned political. but i already said this to the french people and i'll say it again to you with the same honesty. i'm worried and pessimistic and, and this is why i think europe needs to step it up when they got down to business, they're talking about a bunch of things. like i said, including ukraine's membership of the you apparently not very positive signals

coming out about that issue either. so i mean, so far the european union response to this crisis has been pretty strong and united but what to do next for the european union. i think there are disagreements of where to go, as you say, the thing the craniums want is membership of nato. and also the year when these $27.00 lead is the leaders of the countries of the people who could make that happen. but many of them saying that they really shouldn't be a fast track process, saying that a country at war is not the right country to join the european union right now. i think they want to send a sing signal that ukraine is welcome. and they want to send some sort of symbolic message, but it's not sounding from the lead is walking in at least unless they have a change of heart when they're around the table. that's all of them support that idea on the issue of sanctions, already strong sanctions in place. there are some for example,

the latvian prime minister saying that she go much further. he said, not just isolate russia but cripple russia, and he said that requires them to put sanctions on the energy sector to well, you're going to get pushback from some of the other european countries. the u. s. was pushing that and as agreed with europe, that it can't put the same source of measures that the u. s. is put in place. so i don't think you're going to see that from this summit, unless there's a change of heart from some of the countries i will have to watch for that. thanks so much, james. he's there as crossover moscow now, where the kremlin says the russian economy is experiencing a shock. those jabari is that, that star, 1st of all with news of russian countermeasures, i think we can call it that the restrictions that they put in place on the export of some russian goose. yes,

and this was announced earlier on thursday, during a meeting between the russian president and members of his government, including the finance minister as well as the labor minister. and they now that they are going to ban, there's a list of $200.00 russian goods that will be banned until the end of this year. including certain things that have to do with the auto industry, the russian auto industry as well as the agriculture sector. they didn't specify yet what is actually included in this ban of export, but it will affect a $48.00 countries and understand that will include you. countries as well as the united states. the list is supposed to be released in the coming hours and days. this was also something the government earlier in the parliament approved as well. but in terms of the details, it's not clear yet what exactly russia will be stopping exports of in the coming months. but it's certainly one of the measures that they've taken. there

also have decided to take 500000000000 roubles from the state budget to allocate to low income families in the country that will be affected by the countries economic situation. and they will be handing out benefits to families with children between the ages of $8.16 details of that. again, not released yet. there is a sense that this is a stimulus package that let me very much was in favor of over the past few days. insisting that the government needs to act quickly in order to prevent the country's economy from going into complete freefall. the rubel has already lost over 30 percent of its value over the past 15 days. and the number of western companies that have been leaving the russian financial markets are very, extremely increase. hour by hour. just in the past few hours, we heard from one of the 1st american banks, goldman sachs,

has decided to seize operations in russia. course, this is not something that will happen overnight, it will take time, but it's just a sign yet again, that rushes economy is for facing severe isolation as a result of the country's military activities in ukraine from so from the sort of stimulus measures we've been talking about the also to the statements we've heard about economic war regarding sanctions, as economic war. how concern does that tell us russian officials are about the impact this is all having on the economy? well, there is serious concern. just to give you an example. there is a push to nationalize the assets that are left behind by foreign companies. there are a lot of members of parliament out want to have those assets and properties as sees

them turned over to the states. now we've heard from one high ranking official with an oligarchy who has said that he's against this because it's not a good idea, just in case those companies decide to return. they will have no reason to come back to russia if they states these as their assets. this oligarchy was suggesting that it's better to just wait and see and have external management of these properties instead of nationalizing them while the country going through this period. but there is a sense that really the markets in this country has become so volatile that the foreign companies that are leaving, it's very hard for them to return, should they want to, at a later stage. this, of course, all being cast aside by the russian president vladimir putin saying that russia will continue to conduct business with any country that still wants to conduct business with russia. they're not going to exclude as businesses with countries,

but he didn't have a warning letter saying that if the sanctions continue, one of the things that would be effected would be mineral fertilizers. that is the number one in exports of russia to the international community. and because of the severe sanctions that this countries facing this export could be effected and therefore russia could just stop exporting at fertilizers to the trans communion. it currently provides about 25 percent of that consumption on the global markets. and because of the ships that carry different ports and now the sanctions that have come into play issues with ensuring these cargo ships that are going out as well as actually the ports that are refusing to allow russian ships, dock and weights. so this is certainly a technical issue that the countries facing and lot of we put in very, as strongly condemning this and saying that we would just stop exporting if that's the case. and that would have catastrophic effects on the global market. so there

is a sense that let me put very much at a point where he's at warning, the west that the sanctions, if they continue, they will not only affect rushes economy, but as well as the international economy as well. those and jabari and emergency meetings being held in the future of chelsea football club off the sanctions were imposed on its owner. romano brockovich, the russian billionaires plans to sell chelsea now on hold. the government is issued travel bands and frozen the assets of abram, of which and 6 other wealthy russians. chelsea can still play in the premier lee, but it cannot sell tickets for games, it's notion dies, shop will be closed and they cannot buy or sell players on the transfer market on the brand, which is worth around $12000000000.00. it's also has stakes in steel, giant everett and norris clinical,

and other building that are like bhaskar has been hit with the same measures. he has stakes in the end plus metals group. he got sanction is the chief executive of oil giant ross next. and this considers hooton's, right hand man. and for others considered to be part of futons in a circle. i've also been sanctioned in the font reports from outside chelsea, stamford bridge in london. really depends on how you view the oregon and what their role is in relation to vladimir putin. what they appear not to be is to have any political swale influence on vladimir putin. they're 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 likes over man, up or move it shouldn't, very pasco, and the long list of others more as kind of financial repositories. not any of their own personal wealth, but also of vladimir putin o wealth as well. so in targeting the likes of brum eviction 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 football club for 19 years presided over a real reversal of the clubs, the fortunes at the same time. though, what does it de 15 of the war, the moment brockovich. another thing, this iceberg coming from quite a way off. and they have made attempts, of course, to shift their acids to put the club on the market to shift some of a barometer, which is huge. a property portfolio. we've got a 15 bedroom house in west london with $200000000.00, but it's been on the market this week. it also got passports in portugal and israel and he's been in the u a a lot. he's been given, of course a huge charles to shift his cash around. still ahead on al jazeera, venezuela, hope sanctions can be lifted. that's the us looks for all turn to supplies on the

banding. the russian oil in fort tiger woods gets his hands on one of the few on those missing from the collection. ah ah hello. we got all sorts guy across the middle east at the moment. little bit of winter, 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. fairbetter 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 celsius here in doha heat. already on less halters, 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 farther north. the wintry flowers should become fewer and

further between the wind slowly but surely. starting to ease down. still quite a breeze across eastern parts of the mediterranean. pushing across into northern parts of africa for friday, with one or 2 showers. he and some showers there just gras, gathering round northern parts of morocco, northern areas around syria, hama time when picking up some dustin sand, pushing over towards west africa as we go on 3 fraud and plenty of showers. sand now started to show the hand across the gulf of guinea, joining up the showers. we have a call central africa little further south, which as well. and i try to cosign klune that's making its way across northern positive mozambique with the likelihood of flooding. the stories of life and in operation oh, as series of short documentary ease from around the world that celebrate the human

spirit. against the odds. ah, our jazeera selects palestinians, a story of long deception life and death, and israeli spy operating on the deep cover in syria. knowing that discovery would meet certain death. algae 0 well tells a gripping story. moss at spy, eli komen, operated on the cover in syria, in the 1960 a more dangerous career that ended in public execution. eli cohen must have agents, 88 on al jazeera. oh,

a back watching. i'll just talk to recap all headlines now. russia is accusing ukraine staging an attack on a children's hospital in the city of mary. of all the crane is calling the strike a war crime. without justification, it says 3 people now known to have died. the highest level talk since russia invaded ukraine of ended with little find the program. turkey's foreign minister hosted his ukrainian or russian council, nuns, tommy kremlin, says the russian economy is experiencing a shock, but it's doing what it can do. something the impact of western sanction. it's banned the export of certain war materials and agricultural commodities to several western countries. export of cars and planes and drones also banned until the end

of the year to the russian state news agency. robert scott is a senior international economist and director of trade manufacturing and policy research of the economic policy institute joined us on skype from rockville, maryland. good to have. you will. first of all, let's start with the latest russian export restrictions on things like airplanes, cause drones and so on. is this to keep the goods available for the russian market, or is this to punish the west? i think its primary purpose is to certainly conserve assets for the russian economy . and specifically, the russian army, russia is going to have a very hard time obtaining the resources it needs. it's heavily dependent on importing commodities and it's not going to have access to it. so to it's financial reserves to, to buy them and they won't be able to buy them on the open market in any event. so

they certainly everything that they can hold onto at home. that makes sense because you don't see a huge market in the westfall russian carson plains dear. now, if we look at also the sanctions on oligarchy. now, is there any indication any reason to believe this competing all the dogs impacts russian policy? the oligarch certainly generate a huge flow of cash reserves. for example, you know the the, the owner of the chelsea football team earns and enormous stream of revenues met. he's been his ability to operate that team has been shanked and by the u. k. government, those, you know, the folk cash is not going to be available in a short run. that's not a problem. in the long run. i think they can put pressure on put, and if the sanctions continue,

the war continues. how hard all these sanctions, the western sanctions impacting the russian economy? is it how easy is it to analyze the impact? it's tricky. i think it's difficult to say how long they can survive, continue to operate and pursue this war under to county and sanctions. we've never seen these before, the restrictions on the use of a banking reserves, the, you know, the blockading of the assets of the oligarchs, the blockade on the sale of brushing oil in the united states. these are unprecedented. and i think the decision by europe to permanently cut reliance on oil and gas exports from russia is going to deprive that country of critical resources. i think that the critical determinant of how russia actually 1st is going to be whether or not china decides to pick up the slack. they can certainly use the oil being exported by russia. now they can also export the,

the grains, and the, the metals that, that brush is producing. they can't, they are expert at getting around trade sanctions, shipping them through other countries in se, asia and so on. they did that when trump impose tariffs on chinese export their, their ex chinese export the world sort following those terrorists. so trying to can help if they want to. yeah. can, can china really replace the european market? of course, europe hasn't. we have to be careful. europe hasn't impose the sort of sanctions on russian energy that the u. s. has, they did say they want to try and move away and they set a goal by the end of the year. they haven't completely banned all energy imports in europe. how much slack is then, how much can china pick up? well, i think that the, the slack as is relatively small. i mean,

the us only concerns, i think, 5 to 8 percent of all of russia's oil exports. that's going to have a minimal impact. and i think there are other people in the world can consume the problem with oil is that it's a, a fungible commodity and put it in a tank or you can ship it anywhere. and in the same way it can be shipped to china . i think china has much bigger question is when sean is going to help russia use its financial reserves and to deal with the banking constraints imposed, russia was dependent on using a 600000000000 dollars worth a foreign exchange reserves to pay for this war. we froze those assets so wrong only it's only half of those assets and now not within rushes reach, right. just to be accurate. well, i think there's a question about how much of those are actually sanctioned. i mean, you know, the combination, the swift bank limits and the, and the restrictions on the,

the sale of those is going to make it very difficult for us to sell them. all right . and good, getting your thoughts an analysis on that. thank you so much. us president joe biden. hell the now a long phone call with his turkish count the partridge of pipe out of the one earlier on 1st day. the president is very grateful to the role that turkey is playing and has played even earlier today in hosting diplomatic negotiations. at the mountain time, but in terms of additional specifics i, if there's not more i can get into from here, i talk to, kimberly, how could at the white house the heard of they're saying i can't get into too much specifics. what do you know about what sort of direction that relationship is taking? well, we do know from the specifics of the printed read out from the white house press office that there were a few more details that they were willing to share with for foreigners. in fact,

we do know that the 2 leaders discussed what they agree is an unprovoked attack on ukraine by russia. they see this as russian aggression, and they did discuss how it is important to coordinate the continued efforts of the international community to hold russia accountable for its actions. and they together called once again for the sensation of that russian aggression and the continued support of the ukrainian people. as you heard there read the press secretary echoing the sentiments of the us president, that they the united states is profoundly grateful for turkey's volunteering to try and mediate some sort of sees fire or pause. * in the violence between both ukraine and russia. now, one thing we should know now this is there has been a kind of an usual relationship between russia and the united states. it has been

straightened tied, particularly because of turkey's decision to purchase russian weapons defense systems in the past. and that has brought into question some vince alliances, but it's also now provided a unique role for turkey, given the fact that it has maintain conversations with russia that may be useful in this case. and there was some concerns raised in that press conference with jen sanky about chemical weapons. tell us what what came up yeah, that's right. in the last 24 hours there have been reports that the white house wanted to clarify. they believe in fact, is misinformation, and they wanted to point that out as such that they are accusing russia of misinformation with regard to the fact that russia, they say,

is in fact orchestrating a targeting campaign in the west to accuse ukraine of setting up biological and chemical weapons labs, and what they say is in fact, and i just have to pause for a 2nd because it's very distracting around me right now, there's a lot of sirens going on in a minute. you're going to see the columbian leader who is going to be meeting with president via and you're going to see that limousine and some flags behind me in just a moment. so that's what some of that noise is. but what we're saying is that essentially the white house is accusing rush of setting up the pretext to use chemical biological weapons in ukraine. the white house saying that russia has a history of invented outright lies, and there is no direct threat to russia. but essentially, what the usaa saying is that russia is using this is a false flag if you will, not only to justify its invasion of ukraine, but potentially future attacks on ukraine. even chemical attacks,

which resulted in a white house reporter saying, if rush were to use chemical weapons in ukraine, would that be a red line if you will for the u. s. president? jen talk you the white house press secretary would not answer that question. she would only say that if chemical weapons are used in ukraine, there would be significant consequences. every ask latoria step that russia takes would be met with significant consequences not only by the united states, but by the west. and here comes that promise limousine. if you want to take a look, there it is with the flags the columbia president set to meet with us president joe biden in the oval office. clearly a busy day in the white house, i will let you when i take cover for now, so to speak. kimberly will come back to, i'm sure later us has sent his vice president campbell harris to poland, along with a missile defense system to reassure nato allies. same authorities,

gavin hamilton says the even of 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 shade. and he was prepared to write those debts off. but now the assets are frozen . chelsea 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 plan. so i'm very chaotic at the moment. i'm really uncertain as to where chelsea how chelsea finished this thing and let alone pair for the parent . the future. the government has given chelsea a license to carry on paying the players. but the problem that chelsea have is that there is 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, but 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 and. and that would be a very painful process for everybody concerned where almond had produced a stunning, come back against balise alma to book a spot in the champ, his li call to finals to nail down on aggregate. and with only around half an hour left, the play in ben z my that came to reality rescue strike at school. the hat trick in less than 20 minutes. and the most efforts i've been about sending re, also with the 3 to most of the motel. but all of the magic with with stadium and i will fans made the difference simple as that or they gave us energy and it brought down our opponents. in the last 30 minutes,
