welcome back to provide about top stories here at this our residents in the training port, city of mario ponce, russian forces a once again bombarding, been the day after being after talking to maternity hospital. moscow says the hospital was being used by fighters, not patients. rational, ukrainian, foreign ministers meeting and turkey have failed to agree on how to stop the fighting. these, with the most high level discussions between both sides, since russia's invasion and european union leaders are meeting and fonts to discuss what more they can do to help ukraine and punish russia today summit. but also look at how to win the block off russian oil and gas. now russia says it's allowed a ukrainian repair to even to restore lost power to the channel nuclear site. russian troops have now sees the defunct plant. that was where the wells worst atomic disaster happened in 1986 levels had taken over as apparition, nuclear plant, europe's biggest, the development of alarm, the u. n. nuclear watchdog, whose chief had talked with russia and ukraine on thursday. one important thing is

that a ukraine and the russian federation want to work with us with us. they agree to work with us, and they are prepared to work with us. perhaps the gravity of my don't has to do with the revenue of the situation. because it's a very dire situation and we need to move fast than i am. i am aware of the responsibility we have and the expectations that, that are well been at ramberg as an author on nuclear proliferation. he says atomic sites need to be secured quickly. one of the ideas presented by the international atomic energy agency is to greet 830 kilometer exclusionary zone within. there's other, you know, military action. and this will be here for very, very wise. there are 4 plants in ukraine, and one of the plants is occupied now, 2 levels of the area. the 3 plants remain and it's uncertain what the russians are

going to do with regard to these or, or re portion days past, or russian forces. we're approaching one of the other plants. it's a very, very serious situation where these plants from barton or electricity cut off. and there's other vulnerabilities associated with each and subtleties. the plant there of course is the fuck because of the accident that occurred 1986. however, there's spent fuel situated at the plant of a $20000.00 rods and situated with the bin there for we're now decades, and they're not generating that much heat. the electricity was suspended from the plant because of the russian military action. evidently, some efforts are being entertained and as we talked to reconnect the plants of but there's no immediate hazard posed by this particular matter or they're still residue itself as well from the accident. we've never had a situation in the past. we've had multiple reactors in the were say, that have been subject to military attack. and the russians should know better. a sense of the soviet union was involved in the worst under accident that the

international communities ever seen. i think it's a go. and the russian president has acknowledged that sanctions imposed on him and his country are creating challenges. but he vowed to overcome what he described as illegal measures and suggested their backfiring on the west loses during the, showing you with machines. with regards to countries making hostile steps towards us with the way they are calling on their citizens to save and dress warmly, which shows that the sanctions they are introducing against us impacts their own economy. we want to stress that we are fulfilling all our energy supply obligations in full everything we have to supply. we are supplying to our consumers in europe, 100 percent, that our listeners, we together with our partners. those who don't recognize these unlawful actions. we will find solutions for all these problems. dawson, barry has more from moscow on putins plan. he had a session with a number of ministers, including the finance minister. and they had some idea the 1st being that they are

going to take 500000000000 roubles from the state budgets and allocated to family members. people in the country who are in need of financial assistance for their children between the ages of 18 and 16 that will come into effect 1st of april. and they also said that they will bring into effect $200.00 export items that russia has done will be banned from exporting until the end of this year. that will include ban on certain number of goods to 4548 rather countries including countries in the u and the united states. the government hasn't released the exact details of that list. but there is a number of items that include things from the automotive industry. to the agriculture sector, this is indirect retaliation to the sanctions that the western governments have imposed on russia. let me put in saying that it is economic warfare. what they have

done and the country will survive the reassuring the russian public that they will find solutions to all their problems and there's no need to panic. yes, president joe biden is trying to tie, rising petrol prices directly to the kremlin coating them the coaching price hike. speaking at a meeting of his democratic party, he also described the nato that's more united than ever. on ukraine. poor was counting on a divided nato divided west and quite frankly, a divided america. but he got none of that. in fact, he's now facing more united, energized, resolute nato in the west than he ever ever imagined. battle for freedom has its cost here at home as well. people already already feel imprudent price strikes at the pump. i think the american people know how important despite is i think they

know that as painful as the prices today, the costs are going to be higher if we do not act now to deal with a tyrant. britain meanwhile, is tightening the sanction screws? adding 7 russian oligarchs to it's blacklist. roman brockovich who owns chelsea. football club is among them. he bark reports from london 2 year old peter hardimen got his hands on the last chelsea shirt from the club shop before it closes doors. he's wearing a piece of football history. now the roman abramoff era is over. they closed the door behind us both are and so if there's really normal in the shop and you want to fall the wall sanctions at obasi and the doors close enough said the amount of money vessel really seems like he loves the club. it probably isn't just a lie pumped out by some media team of his thing or no to make him look. games will be allowed to continue. salaries will still be paid. b, u k. government sanctions have stopped. chelsea from selling merchandise and even

new tickets to matches and lucrative sponsorship deals with jeopardy abramoff hetcher's own chelsea for 19 years overseeing a reversal of the clubs fortune with a massive injection of cash. but moscow's invasion of ukraine has focused the attention on his alleged ties. we vladimir putin put in the oligarch on a collision course of the british government. and i think when you look at what is happening in ukraine and you, you look to the, are the casual rejection of every norm of civilized behavior in embalming a, a maternity hospital. i think people in this country, i can see that people connected or to the putin regime a need to be sanctioned. and that's what we're doing. the sanctions our mediate, including a freeze on all assets and a travel band. it's something abramoff which appears to have seen coming, and i'm seeing the club was up for sale last week. putting some of his multi $1000000.00 portfolio of london properties on the market. abramoff, which also has

a state in everest steel, had quoted in london with operations in russia and ukraine. the british government said the company had potentially been involved in supplying steel to the russian military and use the production of tanks after 2 weeks are fighting in ukraine. the next is finally starting to close around some of those seen as facilitators of la putin. and as such, the war in ukraine. but the question is whether this is 2 weeks too late to prevent abramoff, which, another oligarchs from simply shifting their money elsewhere. abramivitch also holds portuguese and his railey passports, and has spent a lot of time in the u. e. there were no shortage of places for him to stash his billions. it's a similar story for the 6 other oligarchs added to britain sanctions list, including alexei mila, the head of russian energy, giant gas, prom eager set gym. the owner of ross snapped oil company. a metals magnet o, like dairy pasco, all members of pollutants in

a circle. this being called the end of the roman empire, sanctions aimed at stopping abramoff rich and others making money in the u. k. as for the club, it's future is uncertain. he needs a new, well hailed owner quickly. now the most prominent russian oligarch in britain is no longer welcome. neath parker al jazeera london. oh civilian resistance continues and areas occupied by russian forces. hundreds of people protested to the streets of melissa paul on thursday. oh, the demonstrators marched with the city waving ukrainian flags. it came under russian control last week. and several protests have taken place there since ah, wireless got some other well news. now the pentagon says north korea has tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile system. the missiles 1st displayed in 2020

the us thinks that it's simply just the cover and the cold or north korea to stop development and proliferation all these weapons. and they've called on the international community as well, to band together to warn the north korea that they can't do this. seeing that any action like this on behalf of north korea is a clear breach of several united nations resolutions. so what is the u. s. going to do about, apart from gather together, international support roller is the strong possibility that there could be sanctions with talk here in washington. that new sanctions against north korea could be announced at some point within the next 24 hours indian prime minister nor indra modi's party. the b j. p has retained control of the most popular state which are pradesh, also returned to power in 3 other states after votes were counted falling elections to regional assemblies. the results gave the b. j. p. a big boost before the
