i should just say that it does seem that there's been another talk in the west of the country. we have heard from the mayor of the city of reasoning, which is in the north west of ukraine, that he says has been a russian attack on the tv tower in not 50. now, from what we understand that has affected his, you'd imagine a certain amount of communication in that area. we don't know much more, but it does mean another attack in west of the country, a part of the country that is seeing an increased number of attacks by a russian forces. it had been pretty much bad until a few days ago. now in terms of those talks, we understand that they will take place shortly about 1020 local time, both ukrainian and rushing negotiators have confirmed as much the source i wouldn't be in person at this time. they will be by video conference so far though,

the grounds of talk. so we've seen already have not lead for any major breakthroughs, but both sides on sunday seems to indicate the bob's progress is being made and leaf. those were the words of the ukrainian or russian associates, who had been some sex affords the crating person and demands lensky. he has said that he of course, have of the thought to bring peace and security. he also said that he had talked might lead to a meeting between him and president revenue person in the future. he said that is what everyone surely want to see. so let the also calling on they. so once again, to impose a no fly zone over the country to try and help and the constant russian bombardment and shelling of so many pods of ukraine. he said, unless may so does. faith could see russian show who miss all falling on their countries. he said that all 3 talk on sunday on a military base, very close to the pose for the poland,

which is and they say member and another attempt to help civilians. what more do we know about the humanitarian court, or is that have been announced by the ukrainians at the state? you know, very nicole, what we do know there is that the deputy prime minister of ukraine has said 10 to humanitarian cory. those could be put in place today in around cities, including key the capital, but all effect mario pole in the south, near the fi. russell. now we have heard over the past few days again and again about humanitarian car doors being put in place. but a civilians from various a city, sometimes they have been imposed successfully. sometimes people have been able to leave a certain areas, but at other times they have simply failed. and that is what we seen over and again in mario poll, southern city where she run

a fair and car doors have not yet been and put in place despite day off today or 40 things they will be put in place. that is because the fighting has been too intense . ukrainian, and watson from forces often blame each other for failing to adhere to the temporary faith. 5 civilians trapped effectively not 540-0000 people have been sucking mar for without water, without food, with, with basic supplies and medicines running out scene for the been described as africa next sick medieval by the mayor of the town who was again and again pleaded for outside help, so monetary and catastrophe. we know that more than 2200 people of been killed in that 50 by compton washing shelling. i'm bombardment, terrible. scene bodies apparently just lying in the street. no time, the berries and people scrambling in the rubble to try and find food. right. thank you so much. natasha butler is reporting for us from the vive. we will not cross over to the capital. even speak to him, ron calling,

because we have been reporting on a russian air strike that has had a 9 story apartment building in ukraine's capital in ron con, is joining us from the site of the building. and we can see the aftermath of that attack and we're on just describe to us the scene and what people are telling you. well firstly, we don't know whether it was an air strike. it might have been an attendant military. so let me just get out the way and show you. so that is the entrance. that's where the artillery shell is likely to event. this is a 9 story, a residential building in the north of keep a very ordinary building. kind of building that actually one of us went live and this, ah, you can still smell the burning as you can see now that the clearing everything else, the emergency services have been here since the attack took place. now, what's really interesting about this whole thing is the fact that throughout the

day we have seen, people come back here, people who used to live in this building, who have evacuated, come back here in tears. just looking at their building, their home that's been completely destroyed up. it's a residential area. there's a couple pins just over there. there's no military target anywhere near here. ah, now at a fairly near here, that's where a lot of the russian attacks have been taking place. according to most military analyst, if they take at green and boucher it is a way in for the russian army to get in to keep itself. but again, i'm just going to go away and show you the damage. now the whole front side of the building is stored. actually the backside of the building is also a bombed out as well. the residents who have come back when actually when the attack took place,

just looking at the home. i'm just thinking will i ever be able to go back now according to the red cross or at least one person was killed and a number of people have been injured. we don't have a, an accurate figure on the injuries yet. they still actually counted people. all right, thank you so much and ran carne reporting from keith will survey petticoat vis ukraine's deputy minister of justice. and he says that moscow will need to change its demands if diplomatic efforts have any chance of success. i'm not that's optimistic of all the talks because i think that at this point of time, our positions are quite opposite and russia will have to change their position a lot to, to approach what is acceptable to ukrainians. and it's not only bud would, would be negotiators, will do is something that you can in people, as a community, as, as all of us will have to accept. and therefore, as of now,

i don't think anyone in new train would, ah, except the annexation of crimea by russia all the independence of the so called republics of don't escal hans, and therefore i can hardly see how it wouldn't demands can he can be met unless he's ready to change them. when you cranes, president vol. let him as alaska has issued a warning for europe. stop russia now or your next. that after russia head a ukrainian military base in yavari on sunday. it's around 20 kilometers from polis border. not to yet. sure. no, we'll just keep, but of him doing. this is the war of our lives for ukraine for independence last year. as warning the leaders of the world that if they don't have preventive sanctions against russia, russia will assault them. a saying that they have the weapons and they'll hit the whole of europe. and today i'm saying it again. if you do not close our sky, it's a matter of time when russian rockets will land on the territory of nato countries

monday with the war now into it's 19th day. both sides say they made progress in talks in the past few days. ukraine's president volume is lensky has warned. europe it could face attacks if russia russia's invasion isn't stopped. a russian christmas house right killed at least 35 people are in ukrainian military basin. the polish border on sunday. the u. k. is defense, ministry is warning, rushes, navy has effectively shut ukraine's maritime border. it has a distant blockade, has close ukraine's access to the black sea and rushes. navy is conducting missile strikes across the country. and it says russia has carried out amphibious landing in the sea of as of, and could conduct war. meanwhile, power has been restored to damage supply line at ukraine's chernobyl nuclear plant, which is under russian control. the site lost all external power on wednesday, sparking international concerns about the radioactive materials stored there. but there are new concerns for the safety of staff at the plant. hundreds of workers

are suffering, physical and mental exhaustion that's according to the u. n's nuclear body. meanwhile, representatives from the u. s. and china meeting in rome on monday, the talks come after the white house national security advisor, jake sullivan, told china not to help russia avoid the impact of sanctions from the war and ukraine. allen fisher, as more from washington d. c. at this meeting has been planned for some time, it evolved out all the summit that was hell between present by the present. she back in november, there was always the intention to have several of these meetings. it comes, of course, against the backdrop of ukraine, and as you've heard, jake sullivan's intention is to express in the strongest possible terms that china should not seek to gain a strategic advantage out of helping russia in all of this. what they won't see publicly. but what is clear from the biden white host is there is an element of frustration with the chinese. the believe that while the world has condemned what

has happened, china while calling for a cease fire hasn't been as strong as the americans and other members of the international community would like. and that in some way is giving support to vladimir putin so they would like the chinese to be a lot stronger. as i say, this meeting has been planned for some time. we're not expecting anything, anything significant to come from it. but it's important that it's happening now and certainly gives both sides the chance 1st of all, to discuss what's going on in ukraine, and to give the american say, the chance to express that what they see is their frustration at the chinese inability to be openly are more critical of letting me put when cranes, foreign minister says he spoken to the u. s. secretary of state, anton lincoln about further american support with the biden administration under pressure to do more it's officials took to the sunday political shows to lay out their next steps. haddy calhane reports. the attack in the cranium bass will likely

russia could use chemical weapons. but the pentagon spokesman made an important point on sunday morning. it is of the russian playbook that, that which they accuse you of their planning to do. now. again, we haven't seen anything indic. it did indicate some sort of eminent chemist, chemical, biological tack right now, but we're watching this very, very closely on monday, the national security advisor, jake sullivan, will be meeting china's top diplomat in rome. he gave a preview of what he'll have to say. we have made it clear to not just beijing, but every country in the world that if they think that they can basically bail russia out, they can give russia work around to the sanctions that we've imposed. they should have another think coming because we will ensure that neither china, nor any one else can compensate russia for these losses. a continued push to isolate russia, heard its economy an arm ukraine, in hopes it is eventually enough to change russian president vladimir putin plans, and possibly put an end to the daily destruction in ukraine. medical haine,
