ah ah, this is al jazeera ah, the time is 10100 hours gmc on come all santa maria here in doug hall with the news off from al jazeera. when the dawn strikes in, cave is the talk on the war, enter a 3rd day. russia says this hope for compromise, ukraine's president can see it might enjoy night. how after all, all of that as the military alliance itself meets in brussels,

to discuss the conflict and plans for new ways to deter russia. ukraine says 20000 people have now escaped the besieged city of mario pope. but says, russian forces are also holding 400 others hostage in a hospital and protecting ukraine's oldest nuclear pran plants. we're looking at what's being done to keep it safe and outs of russian control. and i'm devin ash, with sport, manchester, united, a knock sounds of the champions league. one mill, m defeats athletic game madrid, and being any chance of sale. who at the christiana, went out as team this season. hello everyone. there are signs that while the war goes on. the ongoing talks between ukraine and russia are making some progress, the russian foreign minister sung. i love rob says there's hope for a compromise. ukraine's president says moscow's demands are becoming more realistic . and sodomy, zalinski himself is even conceited. it is possible. ukraine may not join nato,

but ah, that's the reality as well as negotiators prepared and these again key residents have woken to the familiar sound of russian. shelling the city almost half way through a 35 alika a few now. off to strikes, killed at least 5 people on tuesday. here is the team this hour. we've got a correspondence on the ground and both denise pro and kiva had begun. emron. com. but we're gonna start dorsey jabari in moscow. high door to take us through what so gay laval has been saying because it does sound. i'll use the word loosely, but it does sound promising. certainly this is the 1st time we've heard from a russian officials that the ongoing talks between ukrainian officials and russians are actually moving forward. the russian foreign minister survey love. rob said that they are close to agreeing about the eh, text of

a security guarantees that russia is looking for between the 2 sides. so this is something, of course, that is part of russia's demands. the russians wants the ukraine to give up its military capabilities, as well as and not join any as security block, including nato. it appears that on these 2 issues there are making headway and some progress. but it's still a long way to go before they actually finalize anything and that we heard from the russian foreign minister. we've also been hearing from the russian eh, delegation, the head of the russian delegation. that is the taking part in these talks with the ukrainians at vladimir medeski. he's been speaking and he's giving us some insight and details about what they're actually talking about. according to the russians, the ukrainians have come forth with a proposal that would see their military and become something like that of another country, similar to sweden or austria. and they have a have their own version of

a demilitarized state with their own army and navy. and apparently, according to the russians, they are now discussing the size of that army or with the russians and how big their military capabilities would be at. this is something that is now being welcomed by the russian side. they say that they are continuing to talk space on this point, and they're hoping to have a final agreement soon. but there are still many issues outstanding, one of them being the future of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014 as well as that region in eastern ukrainian don. thus, this is another issue that they haven't really met any made any headways on. the other thing is that they are so talking about the sanctions, this is the 1st time we're hearing about this. as part of the negotiations between the 2 sides, the russian saying that this is economic war that's been waged on them as a result of their operation. in ukraine, and this is now part of the dialogue that is ongoing. whether or not it will be a point between the 2 sides that will include in it be included in

a final agreements it remains to be seen. but apparently these talks are now going on a daily basis because they switch the format to videoconference, which is more a feasible for them, given the logistical issues they were having before to have the ukranian delegation . come move from key of to bella luce alongside the border with pullin. so it's positive that they're now talking on a daily basis and they will continue until they feel like they can reach some sort of an agreement. when that will be, it remains to be seen really interesting self. thank you. that's also jibari and moscow. emron. com. now in keith with for the perspective from loderman zalinski, the fact that he's even saying we may not join nature. that's big. i mean, that was in the constitution, wasn't it? it is a very vague statement from the president vladimir, as lensky, but i have to say you heard do so there talk about the wida issues of,

of the conflicts and the talks that are going on. the fact that they are still talking is optimistic. people are very positive about that, but there is a feeling here in ukraine amongst the some of the people i've been speaking to via text message. i've last couple of hours while people have been saying is why's roster. talking about these wider, big issues. there's a war happening right now. there's russian occupation of our cities happening are in arg, can keep, has been, you know, bombarded it's, it's, it's, it's a destroyed a city on the outskirts of keep our apartment blocks are being shelled like, why are they talking about these wide issues with like sanctions. why are they talking about this big issue when the real issue is to have a ceasefire, get the russians to withdraw. so there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between what ukrainians were ukrainian people and political, unless i would like to be seen talked about publicly and what the russians are

talking about publicly. but the fact is, the simple fact is these told, say in a 3rd day now, and we're also hearing that there in subcommittees now they're not just talking between the 2 main power main parties. there are divided into subcommittees, isa committees, and asking out the nitty gritty of what any kind of agreement could be. could our agreement come in the next 24 hours? could it come out today? we're not entirely sure there was talk of a joint statement a couple of days ago that never happened. however, or like i said, these talks are still happening. and president of ludovic zalinski has been commenting on all of these. let's take a listen to what he had to say. zillow's little squad in oliver's leave. it is difficult but important because any war ends in an agreement, meetings continue as i am told the positions in the negotiation, san more realistic. however, the still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's interest teresa garage than your se. lavoy isabel asked citizens of russia. any of you who have

access to truthful information should understand this war will and for your country and shane and poverty. iran, as you pointed out, there is very much, still a war going on. why do you take through some of the latest developments on the ground? well, in the last half hour or so, we've heard shuttling, taking place and gunfire actually taking place in keys. now. keith is under a 35 hour a curfew or about halfway through that curfew right now that curfew is taking place during the day as well. now what we're hearing is that the ukrainian forest is wanted him out security operation within the city itself. that gum fight may well have something to do with their security operation. they may well be trying to weed out remnants of the russian sabotage that we saw very early on in the war or 20 days ago. however, we'd that hasn't been confirmed. but given what we've been hearing, it does sound like there is some sort of security operation going on at 7 am in the

morning. there was a russian strike against another apartment building in the north of keith. now that what happened there is a missile landed or not early shell landed in front of a building. no one was injured in that attack, but it follows 2 days worth of attacks on apartment buildings in rush. we were there were there for the 1st 2 days of those on the stories were, were absolutely hiring fight. one family that we spoke to were sleeping in the lobby of their apartment building. and that's the only reason they survived an attack. we were actually in their apartment building and it was complete the, the front of the building was completely blasted out. and the only reason that they survive, like i say, is the fact that they were sleeping in the lobby. and they didn't expect an attack to take place, but a lot of people are taking security per measures. let that defensive measures like that here. now we've also heard shelling throughout the day as i say, and gunfire. so it's likely that there is something going on or within keep itself

. we're also hearing out going shelling as well. so like i say the wall still very much going on despite all of these talks that are taking place. okay, emron, come with the update from key on the news. our thank you him run. that's a move around the country ukraine's interior minister says 20000 people of managed to get out of the besieged city of mary paul using a humanitarian corridor. that safe passage stretches more than 260 kilometers to sample aisha, which is ukrainian held territory, but ukraine's deputy prime minister as a convoy with supplies for mario policy stuck in nearby but dance. she is also questioned the safety of some of these corridors and accused russian forces of occupying a hospital in mary paul and holding 400 people, including staff and patients hostage, but one of torah upon visible yesterday, they captured the emergency hospital and took 400 people hostage, medics and mary paul, they are shooting from inside the hospital. it is

a threat for movement. if people don't humanitarian corridors, we've sent a request to the red cross. under these conditions, we cannot bring people out safely. we are continuing working on routes for delivery on humanitarian aid. so focusing on in the east of ukraine for us is us. i beg, who's in ne pro for us? let's talk about murray. paul. first of all, i said that is an acute situation. if you've got $400.00 hostages, yes, that is the claim. we haven't been able to verify that, but the is a dire situation in that besieged city. that strategic port city is round 55 kilometers away from the russian border. not not sorry, not the russian border. the separatist current controlled don bass region and also the crimea where russian annex that to back in 2014. so as a strategic point, as russia has had that city besieged, that there was a from monetary corridor on monday and tuesday, we believe that 3000 or cause mainly yesterday and amongst those were around

700 children. so they were people that managed to get out to ukrainian held territory, but they still that issue about getting aid into that besieged city and from the ukrainian slide. that hasn't happened yet, although the have been managed to get people out and like you just heard from the deputy prime minister there to day. the conditions are that they can't evacuate, and they are claims that the russians have targeted convoys that shall demons or fight at them and those of the ukrainian side. but as it stands there still around 400000 people in that city rehab, there's a lack of food, water and people are taking shelter in basements or without heating and the temperatures dropped below 0. my am i said i've mentioned is up patricia a couple of times. can you tell us about the latest and they are actually i believe you were. were you in the team were there yesterday?

well the latest there is that we've just heard from authorities there the train station there was hitched by missiles. no that sir. this is approaches the 1st port of call for many people leaving mary of poland. other areas were fighting is taking place and we went there yesterday, there was a center set up that offer people, clothes, blankets, hot food, and re has them. and sometimes they move on to other areas of the country. ukraine held territory which they feels is safer for them. now we've heard that the missiles were fired and obviously this does create a sense of fear amongst people than we were in the city. yesterday we could see sandbags and barricades put up and it is much quieter. what from what we were told, speaking to people than it usually is. and as my colleague ran said, the are negotiations taking place. but the reality underground is that there is a wall taking place russian troops or to the north of to near bro hair to the south

. and the war is ongoing. here in the east of ukraine. absolutely. as i beg your reporting from the pro in easton ukraine, thank you. let's look at the situation with nato now late as cit from nature of reaffirm their support for ukraine. we've got defense ministers from the alliance meeting in brussels. nato's secretary general says he wants to make sure rusher is clear about the group's commitment to defending its territory or that man on screen the u. s. defense secretary has reaffirmed nato's support. let's have a listen. a presence here are said the signal to the world that we remain united in our support of ukraine and we condemn our rushes unprovoked, an unjustified invasion into you. and so you, crane is a legitimate, has, are legitimate and sovereign government. and certainly we wish we

support their ability to defend themselves. more with james bay's i diplomatic editor, he is in brussels. am i right in saying, james, this is the 1st time we've had a defense ministers at nato meeting. yes, we've had our foreign ministers meeting about a week or so ago, and we had a summit meeting virtually of the leaders. but this is the 1st time the defense ministers have been here in 8 days time. the leaders will all be here in person, including president biden in here or in person in brussels. ready for all the nato countries, all the nato nations to get together and work out what to do next. and i think this meeting in many ways is a preparatory meeting for that one. already nato countries have done a great deal in terms of supplying weaponry to the ukrainians, and in bolstering their forces in nato countries, which are close to russia. but what they're trying to do now is work out how to

change their forces in a more permanent way. these were the words of nato secretary general, but also address them or long term consequences. 3rd long term, other taishan, our alliance. how to further strengthen our, with the terms of the fence and to remove any room for miscalculation or misunderstanding in moscow about our and this to protect and defend all alice or nato has the responsibility to ensure that this prices do not escalate beyond ukraine. and thus also, reason why we have increased the presence in these than pot reliance. the meeting is now in closed session and they've been addressed by the ukrainian defense minister. i'm sure he's giving them an update on the war on the situation on the ground, on the attacks that have been carried out by russia and also perhaps an update on those piece. ready talks that continue between the ukrainians and the russians.

banker james bass in brussels, says that meetings on the way military exercises enfolding almost 40000 nato troops are being held in norway, soldiers the taking part in 2 different operations. this is not far from the russian border. this is to test their abilities in cold weather and their deployment speeds. heath barker in our slow following this one, tell us about these exercises. was this a long time in the planning, or is this a part of the response? no, there were pre plans. they've been plan 2 years in advance of this, but of course they've taken on a whole new residence given the invasion of ukraine. they are 2 operations, essentially one called brilliant, jumped that involves several 1000 of forces spearheaded by french command forces, not only from france, but from spain, italy in poland, involved in that. they include specialists form there, the french unit that are skilled in dealing with the aftermath of chemical

biological and nuclear attacks. and that sir exercise rolls in to one of the biggest military exercises a nato history, at least for 30 years. that's operation cold response. so we're talking about 35000 troops from 28 different countries. land air and sea forces will be here, huge number of naval vessels, air crafts and land forces. of course, this is all about nato alliance member countries being able to work side by side to make sure that their armies are truly integrated. there are non nato members, also taking part in this as well, including sweden and finland, who since the invasion have made or positive overtures towards the nato headquarters in brussels about their possible membership. their security, of course, they believe are, is very much at stake, but more than any thing, this is about sending a clear message to the kremlin, that the alliance is prepared to stand firm in the face of any aggression at an if i was just

a little bit surprised to hear that russian observers had actually been invited to this. can you explain a little more about that in the reaction yeah, well that does, that's not unusual. i mean, nato will affirm time and time again that it is a defensive alliance. and back in the day before the relationship between nato and russia soured, they were open communication. so between the 2 or 3, the auspices of the nato, russia council, those days are very much in the past and invitation. i was sent in january. the russians politely declined that, but their tone has changed significantly since the invasion. they were asked again, whether they wanted to attend under the auspices of the o. s. c e to act as observers here. but they said, if there's anything that they want to know about nato, they're happy to conduct her their own intelligence as it were. or the house being on a side note, or some reports in the norwegian, media about norwegian force is being approached in

a nightclub by people asking to buy their military passes. obviously that's res. alarm bells or within the nights a bit within the norwegian army itself, huge concerns about sabotage and the norwegian, ministry of confirm to us that an internal investigations now and away. fascinating stuff that is need knocker in all slope. thank you. further afield and ukraine's president is expected to appeal for more help from the united states when he addresses the u. s. congress. later on wednesday, president joe biden's already signed a bill which sets aside more than $13000000000.00 of assistance. our white house correspondent, kimberly halgert husband was calls for a no fly zone over ukraine intensifying the white house announced you as president joe biden will head to brussels next week to attend a special nato meeting over rushes invasion of ukraine. his goal is to meet in person face to face with his european counterparts and talk about in assess where

we are at this point in the conflict, the white house would not say whether that triple include any visits to the ukrainian border or meeting with ukrainian president vladimir zaleski, who has been pushing for a no fly zone over his country. nato allies, including the u. s. opposed the no fly zone, as it would put nato and russian planes in direct conflict. and potentially lead to nuclear war. still, secretary of defense, lloyd austin, is meeting with nato defense ministers for a 2 day gathering at the alliance headquarters in brussels. earlier in the day, zalinski addressed the canadian parliament and made his case closed. the aerospace bliss stopped the bowman and how many more causes the missiles have took full on our cities until you make this happen. the u. s. continues to send

more help on tuesday, the u. s. president side to spending bill that included $13600000000.00 for ukrainian security and humanitarian assistance were moving urgently to further on rent the support of re people of ukraine as a defend their country are also going to be better position to provide for the rapidly growing humanitarian needs of the ukrainian people. the money provides aid for ukrainian refugees in ukraine and in neighboring nations. it also gives you crane military equipment and training. the ukranian president will make his case for no fly zone. when on wednesday he addresses a joint session of the u. s. congress. kimberly help hit al jazeera, the white house. what we've heard from like our respondents, let's talk to, i guess now on my the favor who's an expert on russian affairs. joining us from london today. thank you for your time honor. look, we have

a situation and all our correspondence of pointed this out, that there are discussions on big issues happening to do with nato to do with ukraine being neutral. but there's a war going on at the same time as well. how do you feel those talks can impact and even put a stop to the war right now or very soon? i think we have similar seen those as, as going on. some of them drive towards war escalation, and some of them can actually open the road to peace and we need to give peace a chance. finally, rational, ukrainian delegation started to talk serious business. they are saying that it is early days talks are proceeding very difficult, but there are no craving accusations any more than discussing concrete easiest. that's a good news. certainly. rational side. we're trying to keep up the ministry pressure,

so not to let off president lensky off the hook. that's why we're seeing committee tional offenses pauses technical retreats. a some came in at that in corridors being opened, but at the same time the use of force they will not abilities on both sides. ah, man, paula, and trade people who can use sophisticated weapon systems. so at least to look for the right hand side, this is also true for ukrainian armed forces while also encountering quite heavy losses. are vitamins and, and she is going to speak to dearest congress later today. and i'm sure will be asking for more assistance. what is the kind of assistance that ukraine needs now? they keep talking about the no fly zone, which isn't going to happen. what about the actual hardware? will they get it?

can i get it? what do they need? then let's ukraine and vulnerability a would be a novel defense because we haven't really seen about much attacks from the sea, but there are so side would very much wanted to put more pressure on the coast line . oh, pretty kale on at this. so they already, it is putting some pressure money open, so that's where level deposits would be the next item on the agenda and about a well, we probably will see some action that said the rational side though they will, they will god, any deliveries or weapons. and weapon systems as a legitimate target. so they would be also white or simply attacked. and a rational side is many determined to look at this weapons falling into the hands of the pin. um, right, and you would never underestimate the strength of an army like russians,

even so i think there was initially a lot of surprise at how well the ukrainians held up against russia is russia and native military reinforcement right now has its initial assault failed yet because now they have changed that it's, they're still making advances in the east, where can most heavy fighting is concentrated. and this is where they are on site is making advances every they slowly with huge losses. but it does get in there that has a big a tendency, they have introduced, but bill is ation of their reserves. they can still do it. it is possible that they will bring more grain men power. they have not yet activated this resource, yet it cannot happen, but a foss, but it is something which they have up their sleep on them at the v of are a pleasure talking to you as always. thank you for your time. thank you. my. ready

britain's prime minister is visiting countries in the gulf, aiming to convince them to boost oil production to keep petrol prices down. at dubey, the capital of the united arab emirates was 1st up the bars. johnson has been criticized though for the 2nd leg of his visit to saudi arabia. after 81 men were beheaded on saturday and the largest known mass execution in the kingdoms history. he says the u. k. needs to strengthen, middle east ties after russia's invasion of ukraine. if you look at what putins doing in ukraine it's, it's causing global uncertainty and a spike in the price of, of oil or that feeds through to the, for courts in, in the u. k. everybody can see the effect of the increase in, in gas prices that's coming through. and we've got to make sure that we're, we're prepared, we're taking steps to, to mitigate that, or to help people with the cost of living. and so next week we're going to be selling out the, or the energy strategy for a for the u. k. massive a jumped forward on renewables. more nuclear are using our own hydrocarbons more

effectively. also looking at what we can do to source hydrocarbons from places other than russia. we gotta get off a russian hydrocarbons that him bother in london for more on this one. i guess it's a little the controversy over this, at least not aim as it is a moral one standing up to russia over its invasion of ukraine, but not saudi arabia over some of its issues. here we'll come all, it's a controversy in terms of energy policy and in terms of in a human rights issues because you heard bars shots and they're talking about sourcing hydrocarbons which don't come from russia will here in britain they don't, we don't actually rely on russia for much of the countries, oil or gas supplies. bert's, the you, k is very vulnerable to the european energy prices. so boris johnson has been stressing on this visit and he's due to arrive in saudi arabia round about now to

meet her conference. mom had been sell mine. he's been shutting, it's not just about oil and gas, but he's been saying the things like saudi arabia announcing a 1000000000 pound investment in green aviation fuel. here in the u. k. is the kind of thing he is going to try to be pushing. but of course, this is an effort to get those producers to increase their output. the international energy agency has just said they see no sign of either the you or saudi arabia tapping into their reserves to help out on that front to drive down prices. now the opposition labor party here in the u. k. have criticized this visit in terms of well kissed armor the labor leader had said, boris johnson is going cap in hand from dictator to dictator. and what he should be doing is introducing a win for tax on earth, put it on a, those are hydrocarbon produces here in the u. k. or which would enable energy

prices to come down in this country. a win for tax is something that many people would like to see here in the u. k. but at the moment, the main criticism is on. as you were referring to those executions in saudi arabia, via killing of jamal i shall g, the journalist, and so on. well, this trust the foreign secretary has been saying that urge you to the situation, you crate, and the great threat that russia was posing it into international security. britain has to reach out to a government even if the british government doesn't like what they are doing well. i mean that is quite an understatement in terms of public opinion here in the u. k . so they are clearly sensitive to those criticisms, but going ahead they away came to be seen to be exploring alternatives, which could reduce this very, very serious energy situation. energy crisis here, the u. k,

which is already hitting people in the pocket and will do so even more later in the year. not in baba reporting from london. thank you. ah. you're on the news. i'll hear it. i'll just hear. i'm come all santa maria. these are the latest developments out of ukraine. russia's foreign minister, so guy, lack of a said there is hope for compromise ahead of talks to end. the 21 day war ukraine's president low to mid zalinski says russia's demands are becoming more realistic able in ukraine's capital of and experiencing more russian shelling though, has been a large explosion near residential areas of cave. a curfew remains and place off to 5 people died on tuesday, ukraine's interior minister though says at least 20000 people have used the humanitarian corridor to escape from murray upon the ukrainian to deputy prime minister as accusing russian forces of occupying

a hospital there. and holding 400 people hostage. now, 3 of ukraine's closest neighbors have shown their solidarity. we've had the prime ministers of the czech republic, poland, and slovenia. they took the train to keep on tuesday in the middle of a war. the 1st foreign leaders to visit since the 3 week conflict began. european union has to give very quickly, accountable, more than it has to invite you to the european union and all the defensive weapons to defend your homes. we will try to organize or cared artist. all over the world. we will never leave you alone. we will be with you because we know that you are fighting not only for your homes, for your freedom, for your security, but also for us. oh, rick, broken who's with us now professor of political science at stanford university in

berlin needs with us from brussels today. nice to have you with us. oh, rick, no shortage is solidarity. i think it's amazing as well that those 3 leaders all took the train to keep under the current circumstances. but when it comes down to it, if you create in russia or isn't it, it's what they can come up with. and the fact that ukraine, that president lensky is talking, some pretty serious compromises. what's your take on that? well, if someone hold forgotten at your head, you are pretty open to negotiate whatever can be assigned to play flights. when we looked at the russian, the cream positions what the outcome of this invasion should be, there was nothing and then could, could possibly offer. if we now talk about neutral painters or the recognition of occupies territory that lands click on manage doesn't have access to. and it could be a possible formula to at least negotiate a fire,

which certainly will not end the conflict, but he will most likely save life. and then what i mean is, is talk about ukraine having a sort of neutral status. perhaps it puts us in a situation where an aggressor invades another country and that other country simply has to, as you say, when they've got a gun to they had just to korea, to whatever that other country was met. 5th, i was gonna say a dangerous precedent, but we'll just sort of thing has happened before. exactly. we don't know what the check to mind invaded a country that different provocative in the 1st place. and as long as we don't know the objectives, we are guided by our wishful thinking that we think well, sooner or later, you will become like, it's rational not to invade your crane. and if it's that, so it's like 4 weeks ago when he announced that no one has the intention to embrace ukraine and then a few days later it we cannot just trust. and we also don't really have

a plan what to do afterwards. because as you rightly said, this is not a territorial conflict between ukraine and russia. this is your politics and pointing ones to rewrite history and change the balance in europe after the end of the cold war. that balance of europe, that's what i wanted to talk to is valgy member over it just before i can remember how long it was before the war. but president, macro from france, went to speak to president person, and there was a discussion about russia's place in europe. it was a big picture, even with all those troops massing on the border. it was the big picture. do you think the rest of europe is willing to keep having those discussions, even after rushes done what it has? every one in europe love to be in good terms with russia. and there are many, many people with. ready personal ties and understanding of the russian culture and the trade relations and the storage of relations. so that would be a wonderful picture that we want to. busy continue with our young multilateralism

and you said you hadn't said we've become so interconnected, that it's in everyone's best interest to care for the interests of the other. this only works if you share this perspective and they couldn't picture off this conflict and the great. ready catastrophe in the 20th century is collapse office over the union and you don't really have much of a common denominator. we learn that piece or is not an option for coating its evidence, that if you are strong enough, enforced what you want to achieve without sharing your objectives. for the big picture with already broken out today and brussels and we thank you very much for your time, sir. thanks for having me in the face of ukraine's for nuclear power stations is a growing concerned in this conflict. russian troops sees control of one of them and also attacks the chernobyl nuclear disaster sight natasha about that has been

to one of the other power plant still under ukrainian control. the dense forest as pine and silver birch trees lines the road to the remote town or fresh in north west ukraine. close to the border with belarus. visible in the distance is there even a power plant? ukraine's oldest nuclear facility. some people worry the russian forces could try to seize this plant because moscow's troops of already taken control of separation . one of your cranes for operational nuclear facilities, as well as chernobyl for yet another is nuclear terrorism, to noble as the commission long, but stores nuclear waste that needs to be cool numbers go from there are power, continental israel as far as appreciate road which it is yours biggest nuclear plant, it has 6 reactors. so on russian forces, thinking in this sort of attention, there are many restroom, reactors can be damaged and things can go wrong. this in connecticut,

things nearly went wrong here on monday, after ukrainian troops tried to thwart a nearby attack by russian forces. judas, there was a missile that a little above her to shoot on an enemy drawn warden. so this is happening here, or there are risks across from the galleria. russian shelling also damaged a nuclear facility in hockey last week. moscow's targeting of nuclear science is a sinister and dangerous twist in the war. the could further threaten europe and is fueling anxiety here. more than 7000 people work at the power plant. so most people in this town are connected to it in some way. and nearly everyone is acutely aware of what a nuclear disaster could mean. the mayor of rash is an engineer who worked to the reason a plan for 25 years. he says everything's been done to protect it, were farm. the corner was broken, we now had dangerous nuclear energies for the world. we st fukushima and to enable

detained since 2016 and aid worker who was arrested intact. ron of sentence to 5 years jail for plotting to overthrow the government and she is always denied those allegations. sonya guy go tracking this one from london bureau. what more of you got on you? well, come on. this came out as there were also reports of having had their passports handed back to them. and nothing means that radcliffe has jewel national. she holds a british armed in iranian passport. so there was a lot of hope that things were very much being prepared for their release. according to the local m. p means it already. radcliffe said, there were a few scare tactics that were being done to not mean just over the weekend where she was summoned to see the ministry minister of intelligence as well as a panel of revolutionary gods officials. they're but the prime minister barak

johnson said that this is really going up to the line now. and they seem to be right on the cost of being able to guarantee that she is able to leave the country . of course these things cloaked in, in shadow secrecy, as well as the officials on both the iran in the bush or side, a running to sort of get everything underlined as quickly as possible and securely as possible. sonya, this has been an ongoing thing for many years. can you give us sort of a pricey look at the events that led up to here the, the, the jailing, the, you know, being separate from a daughter, hunger strikes her husband, all these things. well indeed, i mean in this all started back in 2016 when nothing was in iran for a holiday with her daughter who was not even 2 years old. and she was arrest at the airport, removed from, from her family and, and placed in into prison. as you mentioned earlier, was to do with the fact that she was accused of attempting to over throw the

iranian government and being a spy. and these are accusations which she has always denied. so she spent some 4 years in prison and then she spent a one year on the house the rest. and there was signs that back then that there were hopes that they were, that she was going to be released to be united with her family back in england. but then that was dashed as well when she was sent, arrested again and been sentenced to the one year one year in prison plus one year, a trouble by one year in prison. but she was on the housework for one year, plus one year about on travel. now this, the iranian official said that had to do with the, a debt that the, the british government had in iran where they had what they owed wrong. $520000000.00 worth of funds. this is to do with the sale of

some 1500 chieftain tanks that were made when the shot was in power. and now the british took the funds, but they did not deliver the tank. and since then, this has been the point of contention between iran and britain as to how they resolve this issue of the deal of the debt. now, the british government has said that it has been unable to result this because sanctioned, there is no way that it would have been able to make any payment to iranian state banks. but it seems to me that that has been a. c very quick rapids evolution of this will static situ here and even the foreign minister list trust had said on wednesday that that really, that they've made a priority to pay the debt that they owe it wrong. and even though she remain tight lipped over the details, there seems to be some kind of admission that the u. k. will now honor that debt.

and it seems to me that it's very much the pressing it to be on the case of the release of not sunny and safe return back to the u. k. that is sonya guy with those updates from london. thank you. sonya rescue is in northern peru is searching for townspeople buried by a landslide and the rain caused the collapse which destroy dozens of homes in the andes mountains. secanduc and report the. this is the moment the land gave way he can watch and leave. 6 within 15, dozens of homes, the buried underneath of mud enrolled. the remote community springs in action to rescue neighbors, friends and family. while they wait for emergency services to live. mainly because the pyramid as doctors and nurses from nearby district are already at the landslide zone. the minister of defense is arriving along with the national institute of
