12:01 pm
find the words to describe that horror that we experience or the us will warm china against supporting russia with the american and chinese leaders to, to speak for the 1st time since the ukraine war began. we started the ukrainian capital cave, which was hit by a rushing shelling overnight. it happened in the padilla school district of the city. when part of a russian missile hit a residential building, one person was killed, emergency cruiser searching for survivors in the rubble. let's get back from out as he was him on con, who's at the scene in keith. iran took us through what happened that? what's happening now? hello? just after 8 am in the morning when what said to be a russian, myself struck this residential block in the north of keys. now i'm just going to
12:02 pm
move out the, we'll give you a better look. there are 6 buildings that have been hit by this missile. this a, the way these buildings were set up and when they were built in the sixties and seventies, they're actually in a square in the middle in this little park area. there's a kindergarten, there's a children's play area, the school slightly further away with this is as close as we're allowed to get by the emergency services. they're still combing through all of that wreckage over there. what they're trying to find is any unexploded and exploded, sorry ordinance. that may well be that they're also still comb through all of these buildings to try and find survivors. what we're hearing is one person has been killed or some 12 people been injured amongst them for children. now as we were here, we met with a vladimir clinch go for the heavyweight boxing champion brother of the mare, and also one of the symbols of keith's resistance to the russians. now,
12:03 pm
a familiar refrain that you hear all the time here is close the skies. that's an appeal to nato, to put a no fly zone over the whole of ukraine. however, the language is changing. i asked her, vladimir clench, cope, or whether he'd lost hope in that close the skies argument. this is what he had to say. we're going to close the skype ourselves with military equipment. we need to weapons, defensive weapons. we're going to take care of cancer in their cells. if you can do it and close the sky, we're going to do it on their own. we need weapons. we need defensive weapons. we need it now. in an hour is going to be too late. we need it now and observing from the site passively and looking and thinking ukraine is somewhere far away. this is wrong. they're not going to stop here. their propaganda already announced that the crane is just the beginning and he's gonna,
12:04 pm
these wars going to knock on every one on the door outside the crane. don't think it just here. don't think it's far away. so that's like a very clear, sco, seemingly whole or losing hope in any i any hope for a no fly zone imposed by nate her over the skies. now, the real fear here is that these missiles, or landing in key even though been happening for the last 5 days or away for the russians to try and test ukraine's air defense systems. perhaps for a wider attack in the days to come. the talks are still continuing, however, ukrainians are losing hope in those in those talks ordinary ukrainians that live in places like these. and now sleeping in the corridors of the building. they're not sleeping in the rooms, were any anywhere near the front of those building anyway, that may well be some glass. and as you can see, the clean up of it are all still continuing. the volunteer force is a about there are also still local residents who are just looking at their homes,
12:05 pm
wondering if they'll ever be able to go back. they certainly are telling us that they know that they can't go back anytime soon. out. various iran con reporting live there from ukraine's capital keith emron. many thanks indeed that the mayor of levine in western ukraine says that several washing rockets have hit an air craft maintenance plant. no casualties have been reported. the city of so far escaped the worst of the bombardment seen elsewhere in the country. russia has been targeting residential areas throughout the week. our sera zane bus ravi reports from love each arid sir, and started going off in the town center in lieu of if in the main part of the city around 6 or 6 30 in the morning. and then we started getting reports of, of a missile strike near levine international airport. now a few, as you see behind me, smoke is still rising from the area that was hit. we've been stopped from going any any further any closer to the areas that were hit by these strikes. a police have
12:06 pm
pushed us back twice. we've tried to go over the bridge, but we've been sent back to this area here. so we can't get a clear view of what's happening, but the smoke, the continues to below, over the skies are over. the city certainly tells you that something definitely was hit and is still on fire. and now we're, we've seen attacks on the west of the country before, but this is the closest attack so far to the main populations center to the main part of levine. so, so certainly a telling sign of perhaps what is to come in this ongoing conflict and people will be concerned by this a brazen attack. so close to the view, the mayor has confirmed that the site that was hit was a warehouse in old soviet era, airplane repair, shop, and warehouse that was hit, there were no casualties reported so far, no injuries, no debts. but again, a very, very significant tag. this close to leave russia defense mastery says that it's

12:08 pm
which is russia annexed in 2014 to the seth. so that's a very strategic sit in its thought. when or if the russians managed to take that city, it will open up the east of the country for them. they will make some advances there . but what we have been hearing from people are coming out of that city is that they're fighting is very intense. and many talk about a city completely destroyed people unable to come outside from the come out of their basement because of the intense fighting a lack of food and water, but so forth. the ukrainians still hold the city and it's unclear how much of that city their origins have. control of some people have managed to flee. maria paul. hundreds of thousands of bo remain trapped in the city. humanitarian organizations describe the humanitarian situation there as apocalyptic. that's exactly what we've been hearing. the population of that city was around 400000 that we believe around. 30000 have managed to escape now since monday there

12:17 pm
russians now over the past few days. also it had been a fleet of russian war ships that have been seen approaching the. busy coast of odessa and, and then retracting him enrique re approaching. there's also been some shelling india this region about half an hour away from this city. all this to in the increases the tension among people here, the anxiety of what will happen next. and i have to say that the fact that this is a russian speaking city, that this is a city that has a lot of ties with russia historically. and even until really the beginning of this war, it doesn't count any more. people would tell you a look at what happened in my you on what that look at. what happened to the team. there is no safe place in this country. at the moment. the president of china, of the u. s. had you to hold a fast direct talk since november?
12:18 pm
friday's phone call follows growing us concern of china's ties with russia. the u. s. secretary of state says the china appears to be open to providing military assistance to the russians. will continue to call on all nations, especially those with direct influence with russia to use whatever leverage they have to compel moscow to end this war of choice. we believe shine in particular, has a responsibility to use its influence with president putin and to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support. instead, it appears that china is moving in the opposite direction by refusing to condemn this aggression while seeking to portray itself as a neutral arbiter. and we're concerned that they're considering directly assisting russia with military equipment using ukraine. so may a poor, it is a senior, as a senior fellow at the international institute for strategic studies. he explains whether this school could be a tipping point for china. russia ties the u. s. is on something of
12:19 pm
a diplomatic offensive to try to call out an even to shame china for it's somewhat mutual storms or rushes, invasion of ukraine that began in on 24th of february. and i think in particular the intelligence, the u. s. is publicized about the russian request for the provision of chinese military assistance will most certainly be a feature of how biden to purchase his cold, presumably to bright vision, paying for even entertaining this and embracing shine of not telling that back on russia during versus invasion preemption has always been the u. s. approach throughout this invasion to be crane is try to think ahead of the 1st the russian moves and our potentially chinese moves. i think there's 2 things to keep in mind that the 1st is that provision of fresh military support and items by china, perhaps that could be headed off. but the china, russia relationship in economic terms is really deep. and it's, that's quite
12:20 pm
a bishop goals to grow that bilateral as volume of trade between 2 countries, substantially in the coming years. i don't think tries going to walk away from that . and i think you conclude from this that because china trades with russia, i believe it buys it's crude oil. it buys, it's gas, it by advisable sorts of things that is indirectly supporting russia. and i think it's, it's the flights of fancy to think that china would turn its back on his economic relationship with russia, even if it stepped back from selling it. the specific military pieces of equipment . they are. k s broadcast regulator has revoked the license of the russian government. r t. channel of com says it doesn't consider aunty fit and proper to hold a license and cannot be considered a responsible broadcaster. the channel was on the $29.00 investigation is over. it's coverage of the ukraine war. let's go line, not to london. i'll just hear that the involved can tell us more, that a r t is worthy of the in the u. k. so why has the media regulator done this?
12:21 pm
that's why adrian sent so nice since shortly after the beginning of the invasion of ukraine, r t has been off the air in terms of it's television broadcasts. and also it's youtube channel, although it's website has still been accessible this decision by off column. the media watchdog here is where the media to effect and it's, it's temporary, but it is quite to wide ranging the statement from off calm, which has cited new laws in russia, which in outcomes view effectively criminalize any independent journalism that departs from the russian states. and use narrative, particularly over the war and ukraine and off come says that means it appears impossible for our tea to comply with. the julian postulates the rules of our broadcasting code in the circumstances. but it also refers to 29 separate
12:22 pm
investigations into different programs, or news shows on our t prime minister boys johnson called for the watchdog to investigate the broadcast . soon after russia invaded ukraine, that has been a reaction from r t in the last hour. the deputy editor on a bel keena has put out a statement saying, but this judgment, in effect, shows that off come in her words, is nothing more than a tool of government bending to its media, suppressing will and saying that the u. k. public being robbed of access to information will come, did stress invest statement that they had to balance people's freedom of expression and access to alternative sources of information with retaining trust and public confidence in the system. in the watchdog itself, in the u. k. the broadcasting system, so i don't think it's
12:23 pm
a decision that they will have taken idly, and maybe there's room for maneuver in the future if those russian laws are actually changed. because that seems to be the thing that's really swung this. the fact that, for example, russian journalists are not allowed to refer to a war or an invasion in ukraine out serenity baba reporting live from london the day. many thanks. did i, let's take a look at what else is happening in the world right now. argentina senate is approved to deal to refinance of $45000000000.00 debt with the international monetary fund. but many people in argentina are against borrowing extra money and have been holding regular protest. now for more than a year. they say the terms of the debt or not realistic answers to raise a bow reports from point us others. it was necessary agreement to help the country move forward, said argentine senators who voted in favor of a new program with the i. m. f. debate about refinancing,

fernandez, managed to convince the opposite to vote in favor of an agreement that gives a country a 4 year grace period, but aims to reduce the deficit and cut down energy subsidies that cost the country over $10000000000.00 a year. some of us in the yucca, what we are doing here today is preventing greater suffering. and this is the important sound, the tragedy. because an agreement with the m f prevents in economic calamity. and that's why we are doing this today against the clock. i'm with lots of responsibility, but the process highlighted tension between precedent for a man this and vice president, christina fernandez. the kirschner who questioned the terms being negotiated with the i, m. f. in the past weeks, the war ukraine has pushed up commodities, prices and inflation has gone up even further economy say the agreement goals will have to be revised whether the what it but when argentina signed the agreement, everything got worse. the price of energy went up. the price of gas went up. so all
12:26 pm
the objectives will have to be update the growth, inflation, and deficit, and everything is getting worse, because that's happening around the world. the or the problem is that here we have a chronic problem. the agreement must be approved by the m s point, but annually say that deal will not solve argentina's endemic economic problems. problems that have left millions, living in poverty, and looking for solutions that never seem to arrive. there is, i will as a cedar when a site is constitutional. court judges in peru have voted to release. the former president are better for you. maury, from prison. the 83 year old is serving a 25 year sentence for murder and corruption. the court reinstated the pardon that you already received 5 years ago that was overturned by an international court. a few months later, chinese authorities have lost a mass cove at 19 testing campaigners infections continue to rise. more than 2400 new cases were reported over the past 24 hours. that's nearly double the count.
