right now at this moment, every night, for 3 weeks now, various ukrainian sit is odessa and hot here too. you haven't so measured dominant view, madeau, quillen, improv. russia has turned the cranium sky into a source of death. for thousands of people. russian troops have already fired nearly 1000 missiles at ukraine, countless bombs, they used drones to kill us with precision. this is a terror that europe has not seen, has not seen for 80 years and we are asking for a reply for an answer to this terror from the whole world. is this a lot to ask for, to create a no flies on its own over ukraine to save people? is this too much to ask you, mandatory no fly zone? something, bets, ukraine, at, that russia would not be able to terrorize our free cit is if this is too
4:12 pm
much to ask, we offer an alternative, you know, what kind of defense systems we need, as for the 100 and other similar systems, you know, how much depends on the battlefield, on the ability to, to use aircraft, powerful, stronger, of a reaction to protect our people, our freedom, len aircraft that can help ukraine help europe. and you know that they exist and you have them, but they are on earth, not in you crate. in the rain in sky. they does defend our people. i have a dream. these words unknown to each of you today. i can see i have a need. i need to protect our sky. i need your decision, your health, which means exactly the same,

4:14 pm
week until the russian military machine stops restrictions on needed for everyone on home this on just bridge im is based we propose that the united states sanctions, all politicians in the russian federation who remain in their offices and do not cut to ties with those who are responsible for their aggression against the great from a state dumas member. as to the last official who has a lack of morale to break this state terror, all americans company must leave russia rob. they are market leave their market immediately because it is flooded with our blood, latest and gentle members of congress. please take villiad if you have companies in
4:15 pm
your districts, the who finance the russian military machine leaving business in russia. you should put pressure. i am asking to make sure that the russians do not receive a single penny that they use to destroy people in ukraine. the destruction of our country, the destruction of europe, all american ports should be closed for russian goods. and we are, peace is more important than income and we have to defend this principle in the whole world. we already became part of the anti war coalition, a big anti war collision that unites many countries, dozens of countries. those who reacted to in principle, to president bush's decision to invade our country. but we need to move on and do more. we need to create new tools to respond quickly and stop the war, the full scale russian invasion of ukraine,
4:16 pm
which began on february 24th. and it would be fair if it ended in a day in 24 hours that evil would be punished immediately to to day. the world does not have such tools. there war of their past have prompted our predecessors to create institution bed should protect us from war, but they unfortunately don't work. we see it, you see it. so we need new ones, new institutions, new alliances, and we offer them. we propose to create an association. you $24.00 united for peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and const consciousness to stop conflict immediately provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours if
4:17 pm
necessary. even weapons, if necessary, sanctions mandatory and support. political support. finance is everything you need to keep the peace and quickly save the world to save lives and additions such association. such a union would provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters. man made disasters who fell victims to humanitarian crisis or epidemic. remember, how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest thing just to give vaccines vaccines against cover to say of life to prevent new strains. the world spent months years doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no human losses. no victims, ladies and gentlemen, americans, if such alliance would exist to day that as you $24.00, we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country. in many countries of
4:18 pm
the world, those who need peace, those who suffer in humane destruction. i ask you to watch one video, video of what the russian troops did in our country in our land. we have to stop it. we must prevented preventable to destroy every single egress or who seeks to subjugate other nations. please watch the video. ah ah ah
4:19 pm
ah so if you're just joining us, this is capitol hill. congress being addressed by the ukrainian president laudermill zalinski on a video link is now showing them a video, i guess juxtaposing the keys and the ukraine that he knows almost looked like a sort of tourist video at the start with the reality of what it is now whilst that is playing, i will just tell you about some of what president zalinski has said. he actually started by invoking for an american audience, past events, things like pearl harbor and 911, telling the americans to remember those moments. remember what those were like for you. how distressing how life changing they were. and in response to that, he said,
4:20 pm
we need you right now. president lensky then also talking about as he has consistently asked for a no fly zone, he said, is this too much to ask for? and if it is too much to ask for, well, we've got an alternative, we need defense systems. we need powerful aircrafts to protect our people, the same sort of things we have heard from him. no fly zone to defend the skies is what he asked for. but we know that the u. s. n. nato have consistently said that would not happen. president zalinski calling on all us businesses to leave russia and to make sure, and his words that russian russians got no money, not a single penny. i think he is what he said to keep inflicting the war as they are wouldst apologize as well. obviously these pictures coming in unedited,
4:21 pm
and there are some distressing images. there are the reality of what is happening in ukraine at the moment. looks like that's finished. let's go back to presidents zalinski and in the end to sum it up to day it, it's not enough to be the leader of the niche. they say to be the leader of the walls being the leader there on the wall means to be the leader of this is in your country. any more, you and your people in defense on those next to you. and those strong, strong doesn't mean big strong is brave and read it to 5 for the 5. okay. this is, as this is the whole human right?
4:22 pm
for the right to live. this isn't really and to die when your time gums and not just wanted by someone else by your neighbor. today, the prayer people are the sending not only brain where they are fighting for the values of europe and the world to grow prizing our lives in the name of the future . that's why today that american people helping not just your brain but your and the wall to give the blended alive, to keep justice in history. now, almost 45 years old. today, my a stop where the cards are more than 100. i see no doubt in a lie if it cannot stop on the desk. and this is my main issue
4:23 pm
as the laser of my re brains and as the leader of my nation, i'm addressing the president by them. you are the leader of the nation. i will you be the leader of the all being the leader of the vault means to be the leader of fish. they bought a warranty, a grain with
4:24 pm
methane proceedings from the u. s. congress, their normal zalinski ending his address in english, notably as to his address is given in ukrainian, but he spoke in english and a direct play to present abide and right at the end you are the leader of your great nation. i wish you to be the leader of the world to be the leader of peace. shebra tansy is our correspondent on capitol hill on this wednesday. she had good morning to you. let's go through some of that. i mean, it was at the u. s. congress as a famously divided place at the best of times, but total unity shown therefor president zalinski
4:25 pm
right. but as you suggested in your earlier summation, while that video was playing slickly produced video, as is often the case, windsor then ski addresses a legislator. you can tell that this is also not just addressing the members of parliament or congress in this case who gathered that no, not least, nor even president biden, in this case, but also to the people of america as a whole. it's clearly captured the imagination of many here in the u. s. so when he asked, is it too much to ask for a no fly zone and a bite? and the fact is, as you mentioned, as far as a majority in congress and president by the consent, no flies and is too much because that could lead to an all out war with russia would. it could lead to a shooting. what with russia, which could lead to nuclear, can flag the ration for ration mutually assured nutritional discussion. and it's
4:26 pm
interesting where we're thinking about public opinion in the context of this speech . that was a very interesting poll this week from cps. when members just when they're being asked ross point like you, you believe it flies to help you frame a majority. 59 percent said yes, 41 percent said no. but what it was explaining to americans with a no fly zone would be seen as an act of war by russia reverses. and it becomes 38 percent in favor and 62 percent and opposition. so again, so that's the next thing. be the complexities of a new flavor, and this isn't just a matter of, of planes flying and protecting humanitarian cargo. this is actively bombarding, potentially russian service to our missile systems and potentially shooting down russian jets which could mean all out war. and as john saki said, the white house press secretary, the day before it is joe, by this consent, he has to look at the whole picture. and it's not in the national security interest
4:27 pm
of the us to have well, 3, with, with russia. having said that, it's clear that bite was expecting as emotionally charged features. we did see. so we are going to see joe biden speak in a couple of hours now to itemize the latest structure of $800000000.00. he's going to announce off weapons age that will be going to ukraine. and so that will be trying to get ahead of them this message that we are helping. we don't want world war 3, not can you give us a little more detail than she have on? not just what is to come, but what the u. s. has already provided because that's obviously what they will point to when they say, sorry, no, no fly zone, but this is what you have got right. what's interesting because why does i already itemize? actually they went into great detail in the last day as to what they've already given. so the 6 hundreds thing on the aircraft, myself, 2600 traveling on the turn. my cells, 5 helicopters, 3 patrol boat,
4:28 pm
70 other vehicles, 200 been a launch as it goes on shotguns, machine goes 40000000 rounds. i munition body on the helmets. they've been going to great pain to say, look, this is what we have given. and then such will be what the biting the search has been saying is we don't think and because another another request from savanski has been give us jets fighters and the white by demonstration keeps saying that we don't think that's what they need. they already have a sufficient venture that they're probably the of the pilots. anyway, a lot of these attacks are coming from russian space anyway, but whereas service or amazon, or there are other stinger missiles, that's andy, andy. yeah, across the chart, missiles are working. and i said that that's very public bit of bothering with some of them might be something that we do hear more about today with some reports. so this is something that the us and actually considering just to give, trying to get to ukraine. s 300 surface to add the cells which can attack attack
4:29 pm
russian planes. so that would be through a 3rd country. these are these soviet era or russian era, russian maid service or amazon, which ukrainians have already been trained with. so that would be, that would be something that tension to get those of the hands of your crime. but all the time the u. s. is wearing a very particular calculus, faith based on international law and on intelligence. so that is, at what point do we become a direct participant in this conflict and that's, will become a direct target, russia and potentially lead to the conflagration, whichever wants to avoid. and so that's basically into national law as to what, what, what constitutes to be intervening in the war, but also an intelligence as to what my future feel is the red line. but nature mustn't cross. and up until this point that has been jet fighters as far as the us is concerned, it released facilitated by by the u. s. and service rep myself, but we're getting some sense of maybe service where i miss out. calculus might be
4:30 pm
changing, but we'll have more about that and the coming out. okay. she pretends he's on capitol hill. those things wrap up after that address from voting zalinski, the ukrainian presidents the monthly speech comes as there are also signs of the ongoing talks between ukraine and russia, actually making some progress. we've heard from the russian foreign minister. so gala ross, who says there was hope, the compromise zelinski himself said moscow's demands are becoming more realistic and he conceded it was possible. ukraine may not join nato. the. this is going on at the same time as negotiations or negotiators are all set to music and keep residents have been experiencing about forming the sound of rushing shelling. the city is more than halfway through a 35 hour curfew. now, after strikes, killed at least 5 people on tuesday. let's go to emory con, now in the ukrainian capital case. prior to mr. savanski addressing
4:31 pm
the u. s. congress, iran, he made some pretty interesting comments. in fact, you might even say concessions. well, that's right. he did talk about the membership of nato saying that was possibly not on the cards, but it's interesting all the way through his speech to congress. you can hear the fighting, continue it where i am. but 50 in columbus is way of the front lines of boucher and her pin and austin all. we were hearing gunshots being fired. they sounded like they were quite close within the city itself. we had a strike this morning. it's a residential apartment block that was at 7 am this morning the russians are continuing to keep on the pressure on the city and on those front lines. now if they join up, those are through front lines. as i mentioned, boucher an opinion and also they get those together. that's a staging ground for an invasion into the capital key foot. the talks are
4:32 pm
continuing and that is an optimistic sign. now right now, the talks are actually kind of slightly changed in nature. they, they were before i talked between the 2 main parties, they've now gone into subcommittees and they thrashing out the nitty gritty. are they talking about an end to the wall? that's actually unlikely. what they want from these talks with the russians and the ukrainians is some sort of statement that they can give, that they can agree on what, what that be. we don't know so far. and this is a full time to talk to the 3rd day of the 4th round of towards the previous round. the talks were about humanitarian aid corridors, about getting aid into besieged areas and getting people out of those areas. the nature of those talks has changed, but there is a real issue for ukrainians. hey, every thing we hear from the russians is big picture talk. ukraine cannot have a, there were an army, a standing army that has offensive weapons that can be used against russia. it needs to be demilitarized, is allowed an army, it's allowed a navy,
4:33 pm
but it needs to be much more along the swedish or austrian model. or we need to get rid of the sanctions as russia on us because of our actions in ukraine is all big picture. whilst all of this going on ukrainians is looking at the to the televisions. they're in those areas that are being besieged. they googled the sky is falling on our heads, we need brush to stoke and we need them to withdraw back to russian territory. now that doesn't seem to be on the card. certainly in public statements though, of let him is zalinski himself, has also reiterate that he actually mentioned all of those things within the speech that he just gave to congress as well. so yes, the talks are happening, it's a 3rd they it is optimistic. but is there a disconnect between what the ukrainians want, which is the land back in the war to stop? rob thanked his turkish counterpart for eyes their country's efforts to try and resolve the issue in ukraine. the turkish foreign minister said that they believe
4:34 pm
in diplomacy, and he was on a mission for peace dead because he's been here as since this morning meeting with his russian counter partner. of course, the 2 men last saw each other less than a week ago in an italian turkey where there was that high level meeting between the russian foreign minister and the ukrainian foreign minister for the 1st time since this, at russian as so called special military operation began on february 24th. now the turkish foreign minister said that as they will continue to provide the opportunity for the russian side and the ukrainian side to meet with turkey acting as the mediator. i'm talking about evacuating those people out of those 200, a 152 of them are turkish citizens and there's a number of children as well, a with them. so there is that that's a serious situation for the turkish government. of course, trying to figure out the best possible way and the quickest way to evacuate those civilians all and all. it seemed like there was
4:35 pm
a genuine effort by the turkish side to try and bring an end to this. a conflict the a russian foreign minister said that he appreciated as the efforts made by the turkish government and that the dialogue between the 2 sides will continue. that still said jabari in moscow, thank you. dasa. a market in ukraine, 2nd largest city is caught fire after a russian bombardment official and car keys says multiple rockets have hit that ne, in 50 emergency services say 500 people have died in powder key since the war began . there has been heavy fighting just outside of the city. the cranes, interior minister says 20000 people have managed to get out of malleable using a humanitarian corridor. the safe passage stretches more than 260 kilometers to zap patricia that is ukrainian held territory. but ukraine's deputy prime minister says a convoy with supplies from audio. paul is stuck in nearby, but dance is also questioned the safety of some of those corridors and accused
4:36 pm
russian forces of occupying a hospital america vall, holding 400 people, including staff and patients. hosty, we are continuing working on routes for delivery on humanitarian aid. more from us at bay, he's in the ne pro in eastern ukraine. more on the people making it out of mario paul through the humanitarian cardinals. there was a command to encourage on monday and tuesday we believe that 3000 or cause my salute 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 they have been managed to get people out to day. the conditions are that they can't evacuate, and they are claims that the russians have targeted or convoys that shall demons or fight at them. and those are from the ukrainian side or but as it stands there
4:37 pm
still around 400000 people in that city. we heard there's a lack of food, water and people are taking shelter in basements or without heating and the temperatures dropped below 0. look at the nato side of things. leaders there have reaffirmed their support for ukraine. defense ministers from the alliance have been meeting in brussels. the secretary general, we installed sumburgh said he wants to make sure russia is clear about the group's commitment to defending its territory. will so dress the more long term consequences of defense on to remove any room for miscalculation or misunderstanding, and must go about hour in this to protect and defend all allies. and nato has the responsibility to ensure that this prices do not escalate beyond ukraine. and that's also reason why we have increased the presence in the eastern part with lawrence the 2nd in moscow, we have seen vladimir putin appear on state run television. they'll have to listen,
4:38 pm
gone through the is against russia. they still have in the cranium, brains, and mines are they still have this idea the thank you, the criminal law over there and the crimes over there will be forgiven. they need to know that the west with its continuous support to crane through until it was information and weapon. and miss sellers will never be forgiven. and they also have chosen either economic tools and ways, but they must know that it will fire back because gas and petro will go high and they will
4:39 pm
stuff up from the jobs that will be lost. and we also need to know that the west countries now are trying to convince their papers that what's going on now is because the russian behavior and the russian aggression and all of these problems that will be over that in their minds in the west. they forget their list stakes in the was leaders and then those countries, the forget that the don't think about the citizens, they think only about their own individual enters and the bow, their own. gaines. this is quite clear indication that
4:40 pm
the social problems, even in those countries will be a crees the we can also see the religious problems and the disputes because of the policies the policy of them at the keep began finding the 1000000 golden figures and the western countries try with all means to continue their call trolling through their palaces that are not responsible through the behavior of the american federal bag. and through their behavior of the western countries we had, we would see a lot of inflation, high rate of inflation. the people get that there is a sort of in equality therefore to get that there is lots of the deaths
4:41 pm
in the poor countries. they forget that the reason. busy lots of illegal immigration because of the inflation and because of the high prices, all these matters, ah, undermining the international economy there. one to that dollar to be the only currency used in the economy. and the matter of fact, the united states of america and the western countries have shown there in ability through that sanction, as again, as russia, they are not able to do anything. and we have seen a lot of calculations here and that in those countries and in the america and also the european countries will suffer, will suffer. why? because of that. so called the,
4:42 pm
the reserves, and they need to know that the business will be affected in this country and their companies will learn a lesson. their companies will learn the lessons because we have also assets hair. and we also have their assets here. and the companies are under huge and immense pressure. russian president vladimir putin was in what appeared to be a sort of thing meeting. we saw some switch screens at some point, and i would say there it is a sort of more perhaps belligerent tone than his foreign minister had been taking her to the west with its continues to put support to ukraine will never be forgiven . they have chosen economic tools, but they must know it will backfire not a lot new there. but i'm a patient holding his line against the west in this war and ukraine
4:43 pm
on to some of the news of the day developing story from iran, in fact, were 2 british iranians detained. there are on the way back to the u. k. iran judiciary is confirmed, nothing in the gallery, ratcliffe and inertia surely had been freed off to spending youth detention cigar. radcliffe, she's been held since 2016 and aid work up there was arrested in tech ron, and sentenced to 5 years jail for flossing to overthrow the government, which she has always denied. sonya guy jaeger with us now from london. what's the latest that she's actually been? well, there's actually some pictures of her leaving the country. yes, and even that has also been confirmed by the foreign secretary, liz trusts, and also with the tweet by the prime minister barak johnson as well. let's trust mentions that confirming their reports, that means they are reckless and a new
4:44 pm
a new shot. sure. re returning from iran on wednesday and also with british national iran in american morale has been released from prison on photo, which means that he will be now to his house in iran. and this comes off to a sustained amount of time that during which this has been a real sticking point between iran and the u. k as well. this has been going on for these already ratliff families since 2016 and for a new a story is since 2017. they have been really on the very, a lot of tremendous amount of strain from this is been punctuated by hunger strikes both from and not the mean and her husband. richard ratcliffe, who took place hunger strike just last october for 21 days. he has
4:45 pm
been very vocal about campaigning to the british government about the release of not the mean. and so she can come home as soon as possible. and it has been really supported by the prison prison sentences that she's been facing as well as the house arrest and also the trouble. but she's had to do, but now suddenly with assurance and with nothing is a very ratcliffe, it seems that they are now on their way home. and it is the end of their ordeal. thank you for that. so you guys are in london. the other part of the story is at around state use agency says the u. k. settled a $530000000.00 debt before the jewel nationals were afraid. the gary reckless family believed she was being held as leverage by terran until the money was repaid . now the stems from an order of 1500 tanks and other armed vehicle armored
4:46 pm
