from rockets landed just a few meters from our convoy, similar positions. i've been all over the need for a region retire. street. totally destroyed along the road. we came in on. there were still clearly an active battlefield day with out there for the latest development. ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm sam is a dime. this is the news. our live from dell. how coming up in the next 60 minutes live comes under attack from russian forces. we report from the ukranian city which was seen as a refuge for those flaying, the war with weapons. defensive weapons were garrity carroll country. there were selves if you can do it and close the sky. we're going to do it on their own. with

more shelling on the ukrainian capital, the mayor of kim's brother says the russian invasion is a war against civilians. thousands remained trapped in the besieged city of mario paul, one family which managed to escape, tells of the continued fighting run into truth. i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experience and the us will warn china against supporting russia with the american and chinese leaders do to speak for the 1st time since the ukraine war began. and in sport, nick carriers comes close to wending raphael models on beats and run a thrilling a 3 hour match at indian wells. ends in a 19th straight. we know who's now we begin this news hour with ukraine. russia's president vladimir putin says he's ready to keep searching for solutions to that war. but as diplomatic efforts

continue, well, the conflict grinds on on the ground. care of residents continue to suffer russian bomb attacks. at least one person died when parts of a missile hit a residential building. city official say more than 200 people have been killed best since the war began. missiles also hit nan, craft repair factory and live in western ukraine. the city has avoided the worst of the russian bombardment until at least now. and right about now, u. s. president joe biden is, is speaking to his chinese counterpart. she ging ping for the 1st time since russia invaded ukraine. is growing concerned in the us about beijing's ties with moscow. we have correspondence covering every angle of the story across the region. dosa jabari is in moscow in the stumble. it's in the car, so all new i said bag is in the eastern ukrainian city of denise and rob mcbride is in live if. but 1st we begin our coverage with zane bus robbie. within minutes of

early morning air raid sirens throughout the city, russian missiles had targets near levine international airport, shattering once again, the sense of relative safety. here in the west of ukraine. before we go, position was split the air raid warning system worked. i am grateful to the armed forces as they reacted. some missiles which were launched from the black sea area, were intercepted for miss house, had an aircraft repair plant. as you already know. there have been some attacks in this part of the country. a training company operative last week and a military posted in airfield, near loots. but the friday morning, airport strike is the closest the war has come to the city of levine. so far as you see behind me, smoke is still rising from the area that was hit. we've been stopped from going any further any closer to the areas that we're head by these strikes, the police have 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 that continues to below, over the skies over the city certainly tells you that something definitely was hit . and it's still on fire. in the eastern city of car keys, a college building was shelled, killing one person entering 11 and trapping another in the rubble. the city is home to one of the largest markets in eastern europe, and it remains on fire, sparked by shelling on thursday. another shelling and crummy tours killed to an injured 6. and the capitol also attacked. the mayor of ki, visited a nursery in school. he says was targeted by russia, rockets, killing one child, and wounding 23. this is jana side of the cranium population. you have to act now. stop facile, observing, and stop doing business with russia. do it now. attacking mostly civilian targets is proof. ukrainian officials say that russia is choosing not to fight ukrainian

troops instead hitting the country's most vulnerable. you don't want me enemies strike against the city of live is another proof that it does not fight ukrainian troops. it fights population, children, women, refugee. so if there is nothing sacred for them. same basra theology 0 love. you or rob mcbride now joins us from live in west in ukraine. they've taken some hits there. what does the aftermath look like? it has certainly alarmed people here in this city. we get pretty much every night air raid sirens, going off, people take to their shelters to that at basements. they often turn into false alarms, but obviously there was nothing false about this. a particular alarm with the left blonds went off a round about daybreak. and sure enough, within a few minutes these missiles kamen, it's estimated, there were a total of as 6 a missiles, probably cruise tight missiles, and fired for, from

a round about the black sea region. to the south of us, the authorities here had a intercepted that 2 of these missiles but at. busy for them did find that target, which was about 6 law matters from the as center of levine itself. now it's very rare that this part of ukraine gets these attacks. as we mentioned there, there was attack of the military base between a live, even the polish border, which did cause a lot of concern because that is very close to a poland or nato member. and there was another attack at a military air field north from, from of here at lutes. but what this place is also known for is a very important transit. harvard is the root, basically a towards poll. and so we've seen in the past few weeks, hundreds of thousands of people literally coming through here, refugees on their way out of ukraine. many people have stayed here, swelling the population of love, even also it's the way in or for people and also material. so we've seen humanitarian aid coming in here more sensitively. we've also been seen. this is the

way that much of these are missile systems that are being donated by nato countries . would also find their way in, obviously for obvious reasons, the occur ukrainian or authorities wouldn't advertise exactly which way they are coming through this area. but this is known for it strategic importance. and the russians know that as well. and rum, we're seeing now increasingly west in ukraine being targeted. one of the implications of that you know, a derrick is a concern here that the russians follow a pattern. they start to a target infrastructure key infrastructure targets and sites also military sites as a way of trying to wear down degrade defenses before they then start moving on to civilian areas. large areas of aware of the where as cities, where people are living and that is the concern here that they, while living as escape that thus far that we might be,

are on the way towards that. you know, this is a city that knows. there is a warren or we've seen the refugees come through here. there is our curfews and up there are checkpoints, but still life has continued largely or large largely as normal. people are in the streets, there's food in the shops, but i think as of this friday at this, this war started to feel a lot more real and a lot closer to live eve itself around run mcbride, thanks so much from live russians, a rushes, defense ministry, says it's only a matter of days before its forces take full control of the sun. city of mario pal . heavy fighting has again broken out in the city center or as long as you are, this is livid or other delux hanson forces with the support of russia heavily abbreviated or 90 percent of the territory in lansing. republican forces from lou hands and donors who public are closing in on murray of paul to fight the national listened city as being now to assert beg, he's in, de ne,

prefer. so how does the situation look in the fighting in the east? well, there's a lot definitely in luck going on. the russians are fighting on many fronts now. that city of mario, poland, as you heard from the russians, they feel like this only a matter of days before they take it over. but currently, the ukrainian forces are holding out. now we understand that russian forces are on the streets, but we don't know how much of that city that they have taken. and how mr. ukrainian still holds this current point in time. that is a strategic port city to the east of it, or is russia but also the separatist controlled areas. and the size is de crimea and peninsula, which was annexed by russia back in 2014 miss also important to stay. it's not just the russians are fighting to take control of marable. they've been supported by separate just from the, the hands and dentist regents the dunbar regents. so this is quite intensive what's taking place and it has been a great deal of concern about the humanitarian situation. is

a city of over 450000 people and it has been besieged now to the north of us. here is the 2nd largest city in ukraine forgiveness that's mean under constant bombardment. it strikes and missiles strikes and that city had about 1500000 people and it did have 1500000 people. but from what we've been seeing is taken a lot of damage, but ukrainian forces are still holding that. so yes, the russians are fighting on month multiple fronts, trying to put pressure under ukrainians and trying to gain more territory. i'm talking about still holding out. we've got to talk about the humanitarian situation, which people are still facing there in mario, paul. yes, so there's been a some communitarian corridors that have been opened since monday, but there have been allegations that the russians had fight upon them, but people are managing to leave yesterday. we were ins f, a richer we came across many vehicles that had left mario full. and i can tell you

that every single one that we saw was damaged, either windows of rocker, the sun roof, or they had white flags or on the, on their cars. i've also signs that there were children on board, and many people told us that in fact they hadn't. you see, she mentioned car doors to get there. just manage to leave the city and find the own route. but we also spoke to a couple that she made it out of my old pool, and they managed to escape with the managed to escape the horror, but are still suffering from the trauma of their days. chapter mario povich surrounded by the russian army. first, when did they sla wanted to do that? i can't find the words to describe that horror that we experience. we live in a school complete as little finish my room, but it was so how my jesse to was destroyed and then my son was running under

rocket fired to collect water with we collected snow typically will not get the p boil did to drink 65 year old, did he know progressed over and her husband sergey spent 20 days hiding in the basement with from the raging battle above they fled here to his utter, ritchie, taken in by their friend constantine. when as well as see what do i hit there monday. we had only 2 liter, so water would drink water not meant for drinkin. who boiled it on the fire and drank him. we only had potatoes to eat the am not alone in this ordeal. over 400000 call the city home. the so irina recalls the moment they made it out and i'll let you down, we'll get him out to them, cross the canada. but as what shall we steal? it was a miracle. when we heard that explosion in the center of mighty, we'll put close to the drama theatre much were jumped into the car and ran away from their meeting who didn't really had

a rude muscle. we were just trying to get out there with me. and then we happened by chance to joins a convoy. of course, does a pretty shout, olivia lose another porsha. they can't believe that this has happened to them from a people they once felt the new thing in my galle, unscheduled chest. no good, old, stinky. wellness. let's see, many of our people have been married and stayed in russia. we maintained relations when we have grew up here, it's our country, our motherland. we always thought that the russia is torn component for it, but not an enemy is not an enemy. and now wine at the nazare, just because family relations most those political conflict through them, we talk to each other with our relatives, came to us was spent some time at the senior at all. and when the war broke out deck, and we just couldn't understand that it could be a war between 2 brothers as a chair. they can never go back. the pain is too much or her mother died when the house was bombed. we shall catch escape bullshit,

and i want to tell you something more astellas in that house which was born in the left my 86 year old mother. you brought the new money we missed. we just weren't able to carry her out. with 90 percent of money open is destroying us dollars. there is nothing more there. you think you will there we don't have a place to go back to the can now only wait. it will be still for now. the future uncertain. threatened me. sure. eugene, hoping the war doesn't follow them here, but he was letting him aside. beg for him as his era is aperture a russian warships have been shelling, odessa, which is bracing for an invasion. ukraine's 3rd largest city is on the black sea coast and its home to more than a 1000000 people. had abdul hamid is following the situation there. the

russian war ships have been seen off the coast approaching and maybe sort of navigating around according to satellite imagery to be at least 3 fleets of russian warships, including landing ships. so this city is bracing himself. the beaches have been mind if you go around the city, this checkpoints everywhere, all the historic center of the city, just behind me there has been completely filled up. you need a special permission to get in then only residence allowed to get there. and then behind me here you see you have this volunteer center you money, terry and aid being gathered and dispatch. this is actually usually a food market as food. busy for tours where they can try all the, the salad. well, if you go inside, it's really distracted activity, collecting medicine, water, food maps, blankets, all sorts of things that can help. what if indeed,

is an assault on her desk, but the also to be sent to nikolai of which is about an hour and a half or know, 2 hours i would say at least drive from here to the north east. did the russians and the ukrainian army there they've been fighting overnight from what we understand. the cleaning army is still holding ground and the rushes are not advancing at the quite as a quick pace, but people watching what's happening there because there is a feeling that after nikolai, if it falls, then it will be turn. let's take you now live to moscow. where russia is marking the anniversary of the 2014 formal incorporation of crimea as part of the russian federation agency of the live pictures there. that of course, followed the occupation of crimea earlier that year. the anniversary is commemorated with a large concert this going on and demonstrations in support of the current military

campaign in ukraine. ah ah, britain has switched off the russian government's r t news channel. the kremlin says the decision to revoke ortiz broadcast license is madness. britain's regulator off. com says aunty can not be considered a fit and proper broadcaster, the channels coverage of the ukraine war was subject to 29 separate investigations into what critics describe. a state sponsored propaganda. sco lies now to our correspondence in moscow. dalso jabari. so goes, what kind of reaction has there been to the ban on, on r t? well, there was an issue, a statement issued by a russia to day itself,

saying that the decision taken by the british government is a political one. we've also been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess . gov, who says that this is a anti russian as sentiments and that it is very dangerous, not only for the media landscape in europe, but also for europeans themselves. he also said that this is something that is a violation of freedom of speech, and it's a continuation of anti russian rhetoric. we also heard from the russian foreign minister survey lover of a he gave an interview in english to russia, said a channel earlier in moscow. and during that interview, he said that there is no such thing as independent media. and that to western media outlets are really just focused on propaganda. and if they don't report anything

with analysis, just to give you an idea of the official feeling about what has taken place with the russia to the channel being taken off fair in europe and the u. k. also noteworthy to say that on march 4th, the russian parliament and the president signed into law at banning the use of a really saying anything that goes against the military operation in ukraine. that it is a law that's passed targeting people as saying anything that could be detrimental to the russian military. that could be a fake news as they call it. and it's a law that's punishable oh, of up to 15 years prison sentence if you're convicted. so there is a lot to consider in terms of how things have unfolded here over the past 3 weeks. a, in this, since the so called special military operation was launched. and of course the media issue of media. censorship is very, very much

a part of that campaign and the message that is being delivered here. her lover of also had quite a bit sober how their relationship with west is changing. take us through that well, the foreign minister said that a russia has not closed the door to the west in that it is the west that has closed the door to russia, referencing the unprecedented amount of sanctions that this country has been placed under. since february 24th a he said that ed russia has lost all illusions that they can rely on the west, and that they cannot accept any kind of a world order that would see the united states acting like a sheriff to try and dictate how things can be done, especially when it comes to russia and their security interests. he also talked about what is actually taking place in russia and ukraine with their so called military opera. i saw those on about the jump in here and take everyone raw to

moscow. let's with foot a barrier torn near night is an extreme nationalists it because what is happening at the in other territories isn't the confirmation to that the people are living and done. boss also did not agree to this call against them as a panel sync operations or was started or they were sales with by earth and guns and in the years, and this is all that is called genocide and started pupil or for their suffering. and genocide is the main reason and purpose of our military or per race and the which we're started and done by us and ukraine. this is exactly our

purpose. so i have you remember their words from there are st. bork, learners, so no more love m more than or so if someone gives as salt for their friends, for his friends in the region. and we can see alert here, roy curly, actually our guys are a fight it during this operation. it is the the is

a word you say you miss union for on there say could it book of christianity of for on what is geared to laws all the sudden it's still nice fe and have to have faith in the serial lead chin. but this as a universal value for all the pupils and to all their allegiance in russia, and especially for our people, do not enter the best confirmation. is the fact how our guys are fighting during this. i usually operations shoulder to shoulder. they said, port it's are, they're pretty good if we did, who are you? not valuable. they, carver, with them all in the board. g, a carver in the back till seal to be 730 this the unity of for

a long time. but told us store, let you, let us do some walla. it's happened so that the beginning of this, of the race and she's doing accidentally, incidentally, the coincided to rid people of suffering and genocide. that was the reason we just had from vladimir putin. he said for the military operations, as he put it in don bass and ukraine. he went on to refer to religious tax saying he was quoting from as he put it, the sacred book of christianity saying there is no greater love than to give your

soul for your friend. that is, of course, going on at a concert which has been called to mark the day when crime, when russia integrated crimea into the russian federation. which came, of course, after the occupation of crimea, a move that is being commemorated right now by this concert in ukraine. it's coming a call in russia rather, but it's coming at the same time as a war is going on in ukraine, which makes an event like this. of course, even more important for vladimir to can speaking of the russian president when he spoke to turkey's president bruship time out of the line about these conditions in talk with ukraine. it's unclear what exactly was discuss. russia has repeated call to ukraine to declare neutral status and demilitarize discovery. now to sing them cause all she's in the stumbles. so we

understand. also there have been discussions very recently between the foreign ministers of turkey in ukraine. again. where is diplomacy heading? well, sammy, it seems, it's the conflict on the ground, but negotiations on the diploma. a table, turkish and ukrainian foreign ministers enter kitchen russian foreign ministers, a talk on the phone nearly every day. a week in last week. tricky gathered both foreign ministers in turkey's southern city, antalya. it didn't seem very fruitful, but her foreign minister cho shola, visited a ukrainian and foreign minister club in leave of yesterday. and after that, our prisons are don, spoke to both mister put in and mister zalinski and turkey ames, the host of both presidents in turkey and gather them around the negotiation table

. and we see a green light from both ukrainian side and the russian parts so far as this beginning of the conflict, sammy true, kid took an impartial stance. actually turkey a condemn the war, a cru decide russia, russia's aggression towards ukraine and defended a grain is territorial integrity. but also that enjoined international sanctions imposed by the west as turkey has strong economic and political relations with both sides of the conflict. when you look at russia, turkey is dependent on the russian energy, a turkey boat massage defense systems from russia, as it wasn't able to provide them from the western counterparts as for on current before. and it russia and turkey joint, the bills, a nuclear power plant in turkey's as southern city when you look at it, turkey, ukraine relations again, economics is very important. it politically,

they are on the same page. and turkey's cells formed a t b to drones, to ukrainian military, and those rooms actually are the main players of the conflict on the ground. because it every day we see the pictures and videos by the russian, a military and the russian, a civilian people as showing how those drones actually destroyed the russian a military of vehicles. so basically turkey is trying to preserve a stance that it had during the world war 2 by not getting involved in this conflict because there are so many things at stake for turkey. turkey is a nato member, a very important natal member with a one of the highest a military capacity in the alliance. but it doesn't want to get in the conflict as it has. it has the a straits that connects the agency. it's a the, a black c a,

but the question here is this. ha, if the, if this war prolongs, have longer turkey will be able to preserve this impartial state. and because it will need to ally with the a was that with the atlantic alliance against russia. but there are so many things that stakes, because turkey also has geopolitical partnership with russia in libya, syria and a car, a bar between us, our bay, john in a minute. and in these parts of the world, it was easy for turkey to close one eye and to the west as it has crisis ridden relationship with the west. but when it comes to the balkans or a the, a eastern europe countries, it is more difficult for turkey to stay impartial between russia and the west. but time will show her how things will change or this is situation on the ground in ukraine. all right, thanks so much, simon. or has time for some ortho now, his kara hello there will start in south america watching

a weather system sweep up north, across southern areas, bringing stormy conditions to the north of chile. i'm with that, a massive sandstorm that swept through one of the desert towns knocking out power for thousands of homes. what has died down now? it remains pretty hot and dry here. much of the for me weather has swept further east into uruguay. we're going to see some heavy rain here, heavy rain as well for southern areas of brazil, sao paolo seeing those thunderstorms, but rio escapes much of that wet weather. it does arrive as we go into saturday and sunday, however. now those storms are also going to roll across power. why bringing some rain here, but it's going to be bolivia that sees a lot of the heavy rain come saturday. we could see some flooding across areas here, but for much of the amazon basin it's the usual scattering of sunshine and showers . now, as we had to central america, it's the similar stories and it's got the showers, but lots of sunshine, much of the wet weather, confined to costa rica, plenty of warms,

coming through across the caribbean, the temperature in havana, sitting in the early thirty's, but from mexico it's largely fine and dry picture, but we will see some rain talking into the east coast by saturday. oh, stella had on al jazeera. oh, how young the rock is ascending ukrainians and musical message of hope. added sports, we find bow who's facing who in the quarter finals of the european champions league . i'm these here with that story. ah. with some of the world largest preserve needs. yeah. provides much of the uranium that fuels year. it's nuclear power power. but at what cost, people and power follows the uranium trail from nisa to the source of the mediterranean and investigates the devastating effects on the planets and all those

who inhabit the industries part. the curse of uranium, part 2 on al jazeera. examining the headline, what is the situation there right now? it's worse than any kind of nightmare. it was, however, unflinching journalism. what is it telling us about india? it's telling us that we're going down a very, very being that is sharing personal stories with a global audience. here i am meeting with people sharing the same struggles share and seemed stories explore and abundance of world class programming on al jazeera. ah ah,

back here watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. the ukrainian capital give has been hit by russian shelling a residential building in the podbielski districts of the city was hit by part of a russian missile. emergency crews have been searching for survivors. the mayor of live in western ukraine says several russian rockets of hitting the areas near the airport. city so far escape the worst lavon barton seen elsewhere. britain has switched off. the russian government's tv news channel kremlin says the decision to revoke ortiz broadcast license is madness. britain's regulator off. com says all t cannot be considered a fit, improper broadcaster, the presidents of china and the usaa holding their 1st direct talks since november . friday's phone call follows growing us concern over china's ties with russia. adrian brown reports from hong kong. the leaders of russia and china could not have

been more explicit about their relationship when they last met 3 weeks before the conflict began, shook a 2nd, she goes to vladimir putin and she, jim ping declared. it was a friendship with no limits. one expert says that means china will stand by russia . i don't think china sitting on the fence. janice, supporting russia basically tries to be diplomatic, but ah, giving the gravity of the circumstances. think being neutral means mensa, form of support. she and putin have met 38 times as national leaders. it's not known if she made aware of putins plans for ukraine at their last get together. but there's clarity on one issue there shared aim to create an alternative to the current world order. china has cast itself as a neutral player in the conflict abstaining from a united nations load condemning rushes invasion yet is in

a unique position to mediate. absolutely, i hope so. and i believe so. why? because china has good relations with russia on the white hand. and with ukraine on the other hand, and china does not have a stake involved in this military operation. and the china as objectives and as channels also neutral, china's foreign minister insists his country respects the sovereignty of all nations including ukraine. but the legitimate security concerns of all countries must also be respected, including russia's, my assessment is that it will most likely, continues as diplomatic dance. sort of saying that sovereignty is important, but at the same time, the factor supporting russia, providing economic assistance to rush. this is a complicated crisis for china, despite its close partnership with russia. it's economic future depends in large

part on good trade relations with europe or europe. that's now united behind tough economic sanctions on russia. and there's an added twist. last year, china was ukraine's number one trading partner. in recent, wargames, chinese and russian troops simulated an attack on a nameless enemy in ukraine. no, china insists. it's not taking sides. a stance that analysts argue might be harder to maintain. the longer the conflict goes on. adrian brown, al jazeera. buncombe, let's go live now to our white house correspondent. kimberly, how can kimberly understand, joe biden? east was supposed to be speaking to she ging ping right now. right. will kind of message, should we expect him to deliver? as right, sammy that call began about 30 minutes ago. according to the white house said the press secretary in saki says that this is really an opportunity for the u. s.

president to assess exactly where the chinese president stands with regard to his position and support of latimer prudence actions and his invasion of ukraine. this comes on the heels of a meeting between the national security advisor james sullivan and his chinese counterpart earlier in the week of rome. that meeting lasted about 7 hours, so we're not sure how long this telephone call is going to last. but what we do know is the press secretary says there is a lot to discuss what the feeling is, is that up until now the west in the united states specifically, has had this sense that china has really been trying to play both sides with regard to this conflict, and in the words of the white house press secretary, there has been an absence of denunciation by china with regard to russia's actions . and she says that speaks volumes around the world. so this will be an opportunity

for the u. s. president, to press chinese president, she is what their feeling is, is that there is a growing alignment between china and russia. there are reports that china has been supplying military equipment to russia, that is, of grave concern to the west. and as well there is this feeling that there is leverage that china is using with regard to its economic relationship with russia. so the u. s. president hoping that he can leverage that economic relationship in terms of how the west would like to see this play out. in other words, the west is hoping that they can really encourage china to use its economic might over russia's influence to try and even bring about a ceasefire in this conflict. all right, thanks so much. kimberly how can on joining us now live from ty, pay is ross, find golden asia political risk analysts good to have you with us. so what do you

think joe biden will have to ask? she it seems one of the priorities in this paul is on the military side and discouraged china from providing any type of military equipment or supplies to russia. almost equally important in the united states wants to discourage china from trading with russia and providing revenue that russia is currently not receiving from other trading partners by western europe or the united states. and whether that's for probably resources, but other products that russia exports as well, and the china would agree to those requests. well, that's the day. it's not really clear what leverage the united states has other than to say, we're going to just tell the world that you're not co operative. there is the possibility of so called secondary sanction being imposed on chinese companies. but

you know, that has, it always worked through google all the way, but as i work with specifically with regard to china as well. and there are, there's examples of chinese companies continuing to trade with north korea. for example, despite heavy sanctions again, north korea. so it's not really clear about leverage to binding ministration, especially keep in mind that you want trying to buy more from united states as well . and just over terms of the page line trade agreement. again, this is a tough call, literally and figuratively for bided. now, china does have an interest ensuring that the west does not break russia. right. but one kind of outcome does china want to see from this conflict in ukraine? they might be locked into a show, but i think ultimately china wants to and as soon as possible or the reason why i

say they might be reluctant to say is because they're. busy lation ship with russia . they don't want to be seen globally, you know, as acting or speaking against russian interests to prominently. but they do want this to be resolved so that they can begin resumption of their tre relationship without the criticism from the united states or the western countries. due to a greater extent with russia. china has a very important trade relationship with you, crane as well. it's really and trying to economic interest for this. and then also a knock on effect would be the sanctions that are on russia, for example, the railway line that passes through russia and really helps facilitate an alternative to see transport for trade between europe and china. that's also important to china as well, getting a huge fire and trying to get some of the sanctions move from russia or that are imposed on marcia. really are trying to goals at the moment. right. we're talking

about china, of course, the world's 2nd largest economy. even perhaps, depending on what measure use the world's largest economy, going into some measures clearly an important economic player in the world. no doubt, us officials have been talking about consequences. should china continue to support russia? realistically speaking though, can the west go as far as it has gone in sanctioning russia when it comes to a plan as big as china? well, certainly not as broadly but again, there were probably be targeted sanctions against specific companies that are identified as trading with china financial institute. i started trading with roger financial institutions that are facilitating by their financial transactions with china, with russia might also be sanctioned by the united states. there could also be black lists where united states may not be able to export certain components to chinese companies. they're identified as trading with russia, but as

a tool to persuade chinese leadership team, paying in the government to bring a hall to their trade relationship with russia. again, it seems very, very difficult for the united states to achieve. alright, thanks so much good to get your thoughts. now, another news, argentina senate has approved the deal to refinance of $45000000000.00 debt with the international monetary fund. but many people are against borrowing extra money and have been holding regular protests for more than a year. they say the terms of the debt are not realistic. throws about reports from one osiris. 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. debates about refinancing. have been ongoing for 2 years. something that has cost white bread protests and frustration. now it's
