8:10 pm
babies, children, pregnant women, and those already suffering from illness and disease and health workers, risking their own lives to save lives is an act of unconscionable cruelty. that's an incredibly strong statement from that doubly 8 joe. but with the war intensifying around the capitol, many are wondering where the hostels like this, and the ones that are left will become overwhelmed. emron khan al jazeera keith to moscow now were rashes president vladimir persian has again been talking about the impacts of the sanctions of having he was referring to crimea, which russia annexed from ukraine. back in 2014. the can usually be little yes, of course. without a doubt the peninsula economic development has been effected by the western sanctions imposed among others on banking goods, supplies, etc. but after the military operation in ukraine started, a new set of sanctions were imposed yesterday at the meeting on social economic

8:12 pm
face. there are certain issues that they need to talk about face to face is the 2nd time is offered to host talks in turkey between the 2 leaders. but it seems the prospect of that could be a very long way away. we're also having weston sources quoted by reuters earlier today saying that while the talks are continuing on, both sides are serious in their talks. very large gaps remain between the 2 size. and you've just heard the foreign ministry spokeswoman saying her that the, the long standing demands of russia are what they call de, get rid of nationalist groups in ukraine. this is what russia's long been using as his excuse for it's or what he called his special operation. in ukraine, he says ukraine must get rid of these groups, denart, suffice than another word, russia, or has used in terms of describing the government of vladimir zalinski. so in that sort of talk is an indication of, while the 2 sides are talking, there's
8:13 pm

8:23 pm
having a lot of the logistics that she's 14. but all her effort can still be for nothing. they've been reports of ukrainian refugees being turned away. they have to decide what do they want much. and then let in much, we saw several of the ukrainian families, similarly, usher food. seems here. the blue passports become the ticket 3, by the way. and the red, one of russia is proving less effective. a small kind of dissidence from that country was stuck outside the gate asking for asylum to after opposing the war compensation. mike is also half ukrainian and he's frightened to being conscripted to fight against the country where he is family. 24. february might turn to a tech great evolve really, my browser. leave it
8:24 pm
so could suck for me. for the russian. this isn't an option. flights and countries are close to them, but not mexico, where they can get in by a tourist visa, then travel up to the one us. there are far more than than ukrainians here. sleeping rough outside the entry point to try to pressure officials to let them in . so far, the only word has been white. the united states has a public health folder in place because of the pandemic, which says that it can reject just about anyone who is asking for asylum apart from unaccompanied children. and what that means in practice, at entry points like this one is that it can really pick and choose who it let's in . and it seems that at the moment that's ukrainians. yes. this is the russians like the ones in the camp, not so much on the mexicans and central americans that say they've been living in unofficial conflicts over the years now with next to no hope of getting into the u
8:25 pm
. s. we found this family of 17 watching as the ukrainians went in ahead of them. their green passports carry little weight on the ground that told me they fled south with mexico after he was kidnapped and be out of the way the rest of the family friend. that was 2 months ago. you feel bad because you can see that they give priority to another country. how am i going to feel that? but what can we do? that's going to be a constant question for the desperate in countries neighboring the united states as a white and others go 1st think you cream, but at least exhausted ukrainians like gotcha. and better a finding a safe haven. they called us from her gulf of his house in los angeles. was the wind in this moment for a long time. we were hip the everything, and it's like john holman, al jazeera tiquana. so the world news now and the un security council has voted to
8:26 pm
establish ties between the united nations and the taliban in afghanistan. 14 nations voted in favor russia abstained for more on this, let's bring in christian salumi his life for us at the united nations christian. what does this work? ignition main will really this is just an extension of an existing mandate for the united nations to operate in afghanistan. but it was a very contentious debate leading up to the renewal of this mandate. and there were some changes to the language being used in it. the issue is, every one on the security council wants the united nations in afghanistan. they know that un help is needed to prevent the country from falling into a humanitarian catastrophe. it's already a pretty bleak situation there. the economy is faltering ever since the united states left and the taliban took control. but the united states and other countries
8:27 pm
on the security council don't want to recognize the taliban in any way they're sanctioned under international law. so the issue was how to let the united nations continue to operate in the country without formally recognizing the taliban. and what they settled on is language that calls on the united nations or allows the united nations to work with, quote relevant afghan political actors and stakeholders. and never mentioned the taliban by name, but basically clears the un to, to work with the authorities in order to do their work in the country and not be in violation of international sanction. so this resolution passed with one abstention . russia didn't veto it, but it didn't support it either. they said that this was a stubborn ignorance of reality. on the ground. they thought it made sense to engage directly with what amounts to the day facto leaders of the country. in fact,
8:28 pm
in the past, the un resolutions had referred to the taliban. but in this way, as de facto leaders, indirectly, that language is even rolled back even further at the request of the united states . so what we have here is an authorization for the united nations to continue its life saving work for the here in afghanistan and deal with the taliban. but the pen holder that authored this resolution, norway came out and said explicitly afterwards, what we have here allows you and to engage with the taliban, but in no way recognizes them. ok, thank you for breaking that down for us. kristen salumi left us at the united nations. the saudi based gulf corporation council says it will host talks aimed at a ceasefire in the 7 year old conflict in yemen. their scheduled for re add at the end of this month, but early a yemen smoothly ripple said that wouldn't take part in talks in saudi arabia or
