to say its military is not targeting civilian areas and ukrainian forces or infrastructure. but no one here believes that in the eastern city of hockey give more apartment blocks and streets are shattered. after another night of shelling and over the northern city of just a mere, the skies echo with a now familiar sound lisney will just now there was another air strike, a thermal electricity plant was damaged and a civilian building. nearly all of the windows were blown out of our main hospitals, biggest building and children's hospital. the fighting has not reached weston ukraine, but most people fear that it won't be long. outside the city of the thief, agricultural land like this is key to the war effort. this far might be far behind the front lines, but the impact of this war is already being felt. the 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 oller of an echo, but we are concerned about, oh, we'll get seeds, fertilizer and fuel, because boats are now blocked, nor york sub would approve if we have delays in receiving any more field. for example, it will affect mic production of us because we need, we label supplies occur, ukrainians continue to do all they can to help each other and defend their country . but people are getting tired. they want the water and use this. one is if we only thing i want is for this to be finished. i don't know who's guilty, who's right people 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. tasha butler al jazeera coolly keith with ukraine. let's have a look at some of the latest satellite imagery which has come out of ukraine. what we've got here is the fuel storage area. see the tanks on fire at the answer of international airport. this is the congress facility where the giant air freighters operate from bad. some of them. they're in the middle of shop there. the plains, which have been hit in russian strikes that the world's largest cargo aircraft, known as ammonia, was destroyed in a russian attack early in the conflict. what we've done is match this general area on google earth, which actually uses the same max, our satellite imagery. let us move a little bit here and show you the fuel tanks, which we saw on fire in that 1st shot. the geographical context is that, well, this is the whole answer of a pool, and you see it looks like it's in a fairly rural part of ukraine. but if we zoom out even further,

you'll see that as the crow flies, it is just 25 kilometers from there to the center of keith by road, 55 kilometers. and that is why there is so much concern from ukrainians. about how close the russians are getting to the capital city. in fact, half the population of cape is now left as russian forces move ever close the towns on the outskirts of the capital of come under intense shelling, people escaping or telling of atrocities they say you're being committed by russian soldiers. stevenson has spoken to some of them, chased away by bombs and bullets. these refugees are trying to understand why their lives were destroyed in just 2 weeks. the apartments shalt and burnt. they took the brunt of the russian offensive towards the capital. residence of butch and war sell in the northwest of keith were finally evacuated after being locked up in their basements for days, with little food and water, their cities now under russian control. well,

what is along the russians tell us not to be afraid. they will not hurt us, but they create conditions that are very frightening. we see that people who try to move out of the city by cars carrying their things a being shot at. we could see the front st covered in blood fit, lana, dirtier escaped with her husband and children after russian troops shot at our house and took over the apartment block one the wall, and they are more 30 as low. they said nothing to people whose apartments they occupied to one person they said just go to the basement. one neighbor wanted to come to his flat to take some clothes before evacuating, but they did not allow him. he left with only his documents, utter stellers about russian soldiers throwing smoke grenades into basements, to force people out and ordering men and boys to strip and crawl. a woman tells us an 11 year old boy was killed doing that, if not only managed to escape the war's own, but also the harshness of life under russian occupation. many here are too afraid

to share their stories on camera instead of liberating ukrainians from naziism and flattery. me put and says he wants to do men here. say there's nothing liberating about this war, aren't you? remarkable, jerry. the russian advanced towards the capital received a serious blow when ukrainian forces destroyed part of a large column of tanks, ukrainian air force, so far as also managed to protect the give from serious attacks from the sky. but ukraine is suffering losses to lafayette nickel thought about the lucas lost our tanks bombed as well in the streets of boucher. there is a large column of destroyed russian tanks, but close to our house. there is a column of ukrainian tanks also destroy the thought of the be the full army escaped, rush and occupied butcher. just one hour away from keith. he says, russian soldiers, most people fall into the same card on the go to my awesome guys, what are you doing here? everyone who's speaking russian,

who are you trying to liberate many here from don't mass. we came in 2014. they gestured to me that they had no idea what the little while russian soldiers might not be sure about the goal of this war to many ukrainians. it's clear they believe, flooding me, put in his aiming for my don square in the center of keith, a symbol of a revolution 8 years ago that brought ukraine closer to europe, a price that ukraine will defend, that all they have steadfast and al jazeera keith mentioned this, at the start of our broadcast, the russian foreign minister, sir guy labrat meeting, is ukranian count about dmitri labor in turkey. it was their 1st face to face talk since russia's invasion, labor said they discuss even just a 24 hour fees. fire made no progress jamal a shell is an and tell you in turkey where the talks happened. 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 about the, for our minister of ukraine, said that russia had rejected his country's request for it 24 hours the fire. he said that it appeared that moscow's foreign minister didn't even have the power to make decisions for himself. we also raised the issue of assist 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 sold you orchestrated by president. let me put 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 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. 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 in at least the representation that has happened here. and, and tanya, but still a long way to go before we can find that even the horizons of a diplomatic solution to this ongoing war, russia has agreed to what says it allowed, or ukrainian repair team to restore lost power to the channel, the nuclear side russian troops have now seized the defunct funds, where the world's worst atomic disaster happened in 1986. i've also taken over these companies, your nuclear plant, which is europe, longest development of alarm, the u. a nuclear watched. although his chief had talks with russia and ukraine on thursday, one important thing is that the ukraine and the russian federation, one to work with us with us. they agreed 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. it's a very dire situation and we need to move fast and i am. i am aware of the responsibility we have and the expectations that there are some thoughts here from bennett ran back with an author on nuclear proliferation. he said atomic sites need to be secured and secured quickly. one of the ideas presented by the international atomic energy agency is to greedy 30 kilometer exclusionary zone within those other reno, no, on the military action. and this will be here for very, very wise. there are a for plants are in ukraine, and one of the plants is occupied now to nobles, a chest, the area, the 3 plants remain. and it's uncertain what the russians are going to do with regard to. these are on reporting days past. at dough russian forces were

approaching one of the other plants. it's a very, very serious situation where these plants bombarded or electricity cut off. and there's other vulnerabilities associated with each and subtleties of the plant. there of course is default because of the accident that occurred, like maybe 6 or where were there spent fuel situated at the plant of a $20000.00 rods and situated with the bin. therefore, we're now decades out, but they're not generating that much heat. so the electricity was suspended from the plant because of the russian military action. evidently, some efforts are being entertainers. and as we talked, you reconnect the plants of but there's no immediate hazard posed by this particular matter of their still residues hillary 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 on the racks with the of the international communities ever seen that it's a golf course. are covered from ukraine, continues in a moment,

patient russian and ukrainian foreign ministers meeting and turkey have failed to agree on how to stop the fighting. these were the most high level discussions between the 2 sides since crushes invasion. now the russian president is acknowledged that sanctions imposed on him and his country are quite creating challenges. but he also found to overcome what he described as a legal measures and suggested they're actually back firing on the west. new destiny showing you with michigan, with regards to countries making hostile steps towards this is the way they are cooling all my citizens, to say even dress warmly, which shows that the sanctions they are introducing against us impacts their own economy. we want to stress that we all feel filling all our energy supply obligations in full everything we have to supply. we are supplying to our consumers in europe, 100 percent, to the listeners. we, together with our partners. those who don't recognize these unlawful actions. we will find solutions for all these problems. more frontal set jibari in moscow on

pigeons, plants. 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 budget 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. that will be banned from exporting until the end of this year, that it will include ban on certain number of goods to $4548.00 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 government imposed on russia. let me put in saying that it is economic warfare. what they have done and the country will survive. he's reassuring the russian public that they will find solutions to all their problems. and there's no need to panic. economic impact of the sanctions against russia being felt at petro pumps in the united states. fuel prices there are soaring. president joe biden says moscow to blame republicans. i blame him for letting the conflict in ukraine impact americans of reynolds, of wholesome los angeles. this group of pennsylvania college students flew to los angeles for their spring holiday, but the soaring price of fuel has put a crimp in their plans for fun in the california sun. why to be landed from the

airport and i saw the gas prices. i was like a fuel has been expensive for months due to a pandemic induced shortfall in supply. but russia's attack on ukraine spooks markets and turbocharged prices. the oil market reacts much like the stock market and unfortunately, drivers are paying for that at the gas pump. high priced fuel makes the price of everything transported by road c and air more expensive driving up inflation even further. the average price of gasoline in the u. s. is hovering at about $4.00 a gallon. that's 3.7 leaders. california is the state with the highest gasoline prices, $5.31 on average. but in some places, like here in beverly hills, it costs a lot more than that. the u. s. and other governments are trying to cushion the blow by releasing fuel from strategic reserves. we don't know how long this is

going to last, but we are very focused on right now, alleviating pain at the palm. to the extent we can't, prices will likely remain high for the foreseeable future. the u. s. energy information agency says oil will stay above $100.00 a barrel for the rest of the year at $4.00 a gallon. is that a point where people can't take it anymore? it still remains to be seen, but inevitably, we think we might see some behavioral change belt tightening is already one of brittany anderson's plans. it's definitely going to factor in how i am budgeting for my rent and my groceries paying off my dad's. i was not anticipating this big of a hit, a hit 2 americans pocket books from a war half a world away. robert olds, al jazeera los angeles, while the american congress has approved $13600000000.00 in emergency humanitarian and military aid for ukraine. amount, which is more than double of what the,

by the administration initially requested. the money forms part of a massive $1.00 trillion dollar domestic spending package that will now be sent to president joe biden, to be signed off. britain, meanwhile, tightening the sanctions, adding 7 russian oligarchs to its blacklist. i and that includes roman abramoff, which he owns the chelsea football club. they've banker reports from london. 02 year old peter hardaman 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, which era is over the close 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 and i 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 are in jeopardy. abramoff edge has own chelsea for 19 years over seeing 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 do 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 at the putin regime a need to be sanctioned. and that's what we're doing. the sanctions our media, including a freeze on all assets and a travel band. it's something abramoff which appears to have seen coming, announcing 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 stake 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 you said the production of tanks after 2 weeks are fighting in ukraine. the net 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 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 miller, the head of russian energy, giant gas prom. heger set him the owner of ra, snapped oil company,

a metals magnet o, like dairy pasco, all members of pollutants in a circle. this being call the end of the roman empire, sanctions aimed at stopping abram a veteran, 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. naep aka al jazeera london ah, looking at some other well news. now the pentagon says north korea has tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile system. i miss i was 1st despite in 2020, it was tested in february and march this year. north korea says the tests though, we're focused on developing a reconnaissance satellites. alan fisher with more on this one. well,

clearly the united states is concerned if north korea was developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. because that would do exactly what it says on the 10, which means that american cities would suddenly become within target of any north korean weapons. that is why they're watching. what is going on here, live increase surveillance in the yellow sea area. they're also telling their closest allies in the area, japan and south korea that their support is absolutely iron clad. no. the us seems to think that at the north koreans are using the idea of. busy them developing a space program to test these icbm because of course, north korea has said in the past, every country has the right to a space program and they are no different. however, 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 you 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. and chinese premier has admitted that achieving an economic growth target. a 5 and a half percent will not be easy enough to delegates to the country's top legislative body voted. in favor of reaching miko, china's national people's congress also prevail, approved an increase in the military budget, or briefing journalists later premier league chang also spoke about the war and ukraine and its impact on the global economy. katrina, you with mo, from aging? no, it's the lowest growth target, john has said for decades,

it's also been described as very ambitious given the crisis in ukraine and the continuing pandemic. premier leak chung acknowledged that this would not be an easy target to meet, also defended the figure. saying that the such a big economy, it would be impossible to maintain high or medium level growth, especially given that china also faces other challenges such as climate change and in increasing income gap as well. he then went over to talk about how aging times to achieve this growth target. he said that the child has resisted any sort of major stimulus package since the beginning of the curve in 1900 outbreak. that the government was rolling out some measures to be spending that it would cut taxes to help struggling small businesses, as well as implement some policies to encourage more jobs to help those who are employed, especially recent graduates. now he also commented, of course, on the war in ukraine. he repeated china's lines that china is deeply concerned

about the situation. their hopes that it eases its aggrieved. he also called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to prevent any humanitarian crisis. now as to china's role, he simply said that beijing would continue to one criticize sanctions, as he said that they were not helping, especially the global economy, which is still struggling to recover from the pandemic. ah, temper look at the headlines on the or at half past the residence in the ukrainian port city of murray pole say, russian forces are once again bombarding them a day after attacking a military hospital in the area. moscow sensitivity was being used by fight is not patient attack killer, the 3 people, and injured at the 17 dvd when years we have no gas fries and
