western states above and beyond the situation for refugees. based on the hopped up campaign of lies and disinformation, or why ukraine's ambassador to the un accused of russian counterpart of manipulating the council. ambassador, do the eyes of ukrainian children, women, an elderly, killed by the russians flesh before you. if they do, we may consider how to, how to sponsor a decision to help you deal with perpetration inducted traumatic stress, but now have some decency and stop the egregious manipulation or the security council. it is obscene, crescent, loony. i was following that meeting for us at the united nation, russia, again,

denying that it is targeting civilians in ukraine. it accuses the ukrainians of putting their troops near these civilian areas and therefore making them somehow responsible for the death and destruction they are. so the ukrainian ambassador accused russia of deliberately targeting children. he pointed to that attack that happened yesterday and murray, a pool where a theater was destroyed at theater, where families were taking shelter. and as many of the speakers to day pointed out, the word children was painted in big letters across the side tops of the building. so it was clear that this was a civilian area with children inside. he talked about the situation of murray pole in the fact that 90 percent of the cities infrastructure has been destroyed. he didn't specify what he meant by infrastructure, but the un has said that almost

a 1000000 people in the ukraine are without electricity as a result of the ongoing fighting. and of course, food and clean water are becoming more and more scarce in many parts of the country . so an impassioned, a response from their ukranian ambassador as russia denies that, it's the aggressor here for you. a secretary of state anthony blinkin says that he believes russia has committed war crimes in ukraine. he list that a number of incidents were civilians appeared to have been targeted, including wednesday's attack on a theater and mario paul, where hundreds was seeking shelter. the were children had been written in russian in giant white letters on the pavement outside the building. so that you could know from the air. there were children inside russian forces also opened fire on 10 civilians. ah, who were waiting in line for bread. these incidence join

a long list of attacks on civilian not military locations across ukraine, intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past few weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. rosalind jordan has worn out from washington, dc. well, not only did antony blacken call what has been happening and mario poll war crimes . he also said the u. s. is committed to helping other countries, including ukraine, gathered the evidence that could lead to a referral of the russian government to the i. c. c for prosecution on war crimes, which of course are a violation under international law. he also talked about the fact that the u. s. president joe biden will be speaking with the chinese president. she jen paying on friday. stressing that to the u. s. is essentially going to put pressure on china

to not be a neutral party. and to was stand with the u. s. with europe, with other countries in condemning rushes behavior and in enforcing. what is and expanding sanctions regime against president vladimir putin and members of his inner circle. we also did hear the secretary repeat that the u. s. is stepping up, it's military and humanitarian contributions to ukraine. as of this war goes into the 4th week still to come in this half hour, a 10000 kilometer journey to safety, the ukrainians, looking for safe haven in the united states, one other refugees, risk being turned away at the border. and we're going to tell you about the plan to put africa's largest economy on the right track. ah.

war crimes in ukraine. anthony blinkin says u. s. exports are war, came to document evidence, and that the russia president will be held to account while a child is becoming a refugee in ukraine. almost every 2nd, the you and children's agency. unicef says an average of $55.00 children are fleeing the country every minute. overall, more than 3000000 people have crossed the border around half of them. children, jo english is a units of communications, especially currently in levine in western ukraine. he says the trauma of war will have a lasting impact on ukrainian children. numbers is staggering. 1.5000000 child refugees, we estimated that 5000 shows move probably being born into the conflict inside your crime. you know, and each one of these is an individual story. it's a child who had their life turned upside down. it's a family. her dad says that tommy told a pause. you know, we know that 50 children have been killed,

at least those are just the numbers you and it's been able to verify 60 children injured. we know that when there are large numbers of people moving in this kind of church and we'll get separated, children are incredibly unable to human trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. and that's exactly why we're working with you and hcr and local authorities in the refugee hosting countries to make sure that we can set up our blue dot center. now these are safe spaces for children and parents to come or some ukrainian refugees have traveled as far as mexico hoping to be able to cross into the us. but it's don't home and reports not from tijuana, the number of russian refugees far out. number, those from ukraine, dasha her, mum, vera and dad are about to try and complete more than 10000 kilometer journey. this is what they're fleeing from, as they say these video show their hometown, nikolai, and ukraine. now via moved over and remain yet they've arrived at the midst can

and he's frightened to being conscripted to fight against the country. where he is family, 24 february might come to a tech great, really. my browser is just leave it sucks for me. for the russian to europe 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 of them than ukrainians here. sleeping rough outside the entry point to try to pressure officials to let them. and so far, the only word has been wait. 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 . s. we found this family of 17 watching as the ukrainians went in ahead of them. their green passports carry. let's wait. the grunted told me they fled southwest mits code of the he was kidnapped and be 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? but what can we do? that's going to be a constant question to the desperate in countries neighboring the united states as they wait and others go 1st. i think you cream but at least exhausted ukrainians like gotcha. and better finding a safe haven. they called us from her father's house in los angeles, was the way,
