2:04 am
. get those walk away me other than it's hypersonic. ballistic missiles destroyed a big underground missile arsenal along with ariel munitions of the ukrainian forces, the ukrainian se overstretched, russian forces are bogged down in much of the country and of resorted to using badly trained recruits in the fight. the russians have released combat footage, showing that on the contrary, it's the ukrainians who are on the receiving end. rob mcbride, al jazeera loveth or frontline city of concave has and pummeled since the start of the war. as a depth desperate search for survivors in the ruins of buildings, i sent bank reports from ne ukraine. well, this is one the worst hit areas of hurricane. the 2nd largest city in ukraine had a population of one point. $5000000.00 that's been drastically reduced cost. many people have left now this to the left of me here was a shopping mall. just take
2:05 am
a look at that. now. this city has been pounded by the russians with air strikes, shelling and artillery, and were standing right now was the center of the city. and you can just see that there's complete and utter destruction, devastation now. but there's a feeling that the russians thought that they could take the city without too much resistance, but they were forced out. and there's a feeling by some head that now the russians are punishing the city. have to be careful here because the temperatures are well below 0. the still ice on the floor . this craters along here, these cars here have all been destroyed and damaged a bit further up. or you can see the burn tank cause ah, that were damaged. the shelling and the artillery and even was we've been here, we've heard loud thumps on, not sure if we can hear that. now that's heavy artillery filing that filing that's going, gone all day and all night. and if you look a lot wrong along the horizon,
2:06 am
you can see smoke rising from the heavy fighting that's taking place. now the russians impounding the city re heavily for the last 2 weeks. but the ukrainian forces are still holding out and hoping that they can keep the russians out. and it's like that across the east of the country where the russians are fighting on multiple fronts. but i just want to take in some more of the devastation, destruction that has taken place here in the center of her keith. you can see cars buried in the rubble where the buildings have collapsed on it. or even the trees here are destroyed and burnt out. it's really something oh, when the center of clark is the 2nd largest city, where the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out. all across the ukrainian capital of volunteer forces emerged helping those who remain behind the network support some of caves, most vulnerable around conjoined
2:07 am
a group. as they made their daily wells it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service. ah, without any external funding, anya and her friends deliver groceries and basic goods to some of the most vulnerable and keep some the goods are donated, but most a paid for by the volunteers themselves. love oh, to who i always. why did the woman care and work? i dont have grandparents, so this house me compensate her that it really comes from my heart. say maria rarely leaves the house. she's too frail to make the journey. and the elevator in her building is best described as temperamental. she stayed in the city because she says she has no family to go to without the volunteers should be completely alone and hungry then that it won't gentlemen. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have
2:08 am
a niece who could help mad public transport this child, so she can't get here. oh, he's right now. i don't need anything because then brought me things. but this won't last long. all the volunteers work under the umbrella of an organization called love life which existed before the war to help the homeless and vulnerable. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine, still operating and demand for it. services for outstrips its capacity to cope, the organization has changed the way operates. it identifies the most vulnerable people and post them on a private social media channel volunteers and make the deliveries navigating the cities, many checkpoints, and anti tank barricades. and it's not just home delivery, kitchens and roadside chaos of also become a frontline of salt in the war effort. most of the restaurants across the city are shut, but the kitchens are open and the chefs are working. now they might not be making
2:09 am
their usual cuisines. what they're doing is they're making home style cuisines that then volunteers pick up and bring to distribution points like these. and it is a lifeline for many. this might be the one hot meal that they get a day american out zera cave or russians are starting to see the impacts of the war on their economy as sanctions begin to bite from inflation to supply change list logistics. every corner of the economy will be affected, and it smith has more for moscow. every copay, counts as russians begin to feel the effect of sanctions on their economy. $1.00 bought $75.00 roubles before the war. now it buys a 100. that means higher prices for imported goods, such as the fruit and veggies in this market. what guns did they is learned the sweets used to cause 70 roubles. now they cost $100.00 and she can also. we don't leave a luxury light, but the prices went had notably hotels. and actually the price of sugar went up
2:10 am
significantly. more than 10 doorbells i ran out of salt and sugar and i couldn't find ample. now to day they appeared. no my pension would be a nasty, it is not so little, but i spend almost half of it on medicines, so very little remains good yet. oh so everything is more expensive. sorry fish used to be a 120 we both. now it's $480.00. last time we bought, buckwheat almost 200. i very expensive. it's hard for us. we want to eat. russian president vladimir putin has acknowledged that sanctions mean the economy will need what he calls deep structural changes. they won't be easy. he said before the war and ukraine inflation hair, it was already over 9 percent the highest. it's been in 7 years that could now double and interest rates are 20 percent. all of this putting a real squeeze on russian incomes ah, or the russian association of patriotic entrepreneurs. some believe there are
2:11 am
opportunities to be hard. as western firms pull out, though, 1st, there are practical challenges to work around from virginia. the whole supply chain has been damaged. yet many producers are not sending raw materials of finished products to russia. even if they are, can dennis aren't leaving because of concerns about sanctions? so a big question for processing, industrious is what is their logistic chain? durable dollar exchange rate is also a big stress. many russians credit their president with stabilizing the economy after the collapse of the soviet union. it grew every year vladimir putin was in office until a global financial crisis. a group of international banks now expects economic output to fall by up to a 3rd. this year. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow for a russian cosmonaut have arrived at the international space station. it is the 1st ice cream to launch, since russia's invasion of ukraine, as worry,
2:12 am
challenge reports as raising questions about how political tensions will affect international space exploration. everything is non in now weakened. they may now be floating 400 kilometers above the earth's surface. however, terrestrial conflict as accompanied, the international space stations, newest visitors 11. first through the hatch is denise murphy, hugs and smiles greeted sir gay cossack. av did his men, viv and allah got him. yeah, of as they came through the hatch, barts look at the colors from the russian cosmonaut suits. yellow and blue is the same as the ukrainian flag. it didn't take long for some back on earth to conclude this was a coded message of condemnation for their country's invasion of ukraine. sometimes yellow is just yellow, scuffed rushes space agency on telegram with russian mission control. got on combs, just to make sure you don't have to be a preview through dinner or you don't. that's them asking like why the crew is wearing yellow suits while everyone else on the i ss. whereas grey,
2:13 am
he is alex reply like it was each group picks the suit, the overalls darren choice, so that we don't look the same. now, it was our turn to pick the color. the truth is we accumulated a lot of yellow materials, so we needed to use it up. that's why we had to wear yellow flight seats, perhaps, but russian space and defense analysts probably fell going how it says if they were making a political comments. they need a cover story for a russian crossman not to go against the grid this well, i mean, he'll be just simply not sent the space again for them that the tragedy and the rush and cosmic agency and meet you are going to be absolutely supportive of the campaign and ukraine. so even if they went to the show kind of some kind of resentment, they found the very good we go cover to say that this is jeff businesses use,
2:14 am
you know, about either way russia's invasion of ukraine is putting huge strain on space, cooperation, us sanctions or targeting rushes space program, the european space agency is pulling out of a russian european mission to mars. launches have be cancelled, and contracts broken. then the years of collaboration between russia, the u. s. and it's western allies are being pulled apart in weeks. rory challenz, how to 0 hurrying, more coverage of ukraine, coming out the head in the program including we, me, people opposed in the war. he fled russia to start a new life. and taki ah hello is st. varden storms recently across southern parts of the u. s. t s,
2:15 am
sweeping out of the way through the eastern seaboard still got the salary fly pressure up towards the lake. so still some disturbed weather coming through over the next day or so. to the south of that, we got some decent spells of warm sunshine, which was the west. this summer. we got some cold weather in place for 15 celsius for denver at old tongue of cooler air coming in here. 18 celsius the sunday. it's not in yet. denver on monday, just 3 degrees celsius to the east. that as i said last, he settle and right with some sunshine. so the change is coming about because we have got it larry or snow mountains, snow rolling further. eastwards will rain sleet and snow up towards pacific northwest into western parts of canada, and that will continue to make its way further. east was as we go one through monday, hopefully by monday drying up, brightening up there for ally, but to dry bite. fully a southern stay, so the deep south seeing some very heavy rainfall that could be used for we had wildfires not too far from dallas recently,
2:16 am
so that should help to dampen things down. meanwhile, across the caribbean, it's largely fine and fry. we got a few showers into southern parts of mexico into central america elsewhere. it's sunny aah! or china in the u. s. 3, walking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine? here's the test for president joe biden with really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in europe. it's your personal united states. you seriously go to walk through government to spend your weekly pay on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why lou
2:17 am
ah, you're watching out. as a reminder, if our top story is this, our russian tanks have been seen firing on a narrow street and ukraine southern port city of modern poll. despite the heavy bombardment, another convoy, civilians have managed to leave the besieged city. ukraine says 10 humanitarian corridor has happened, agreed with russia. russian cosmonaut is causing a star in space, has been speculation that the blue and yellow colors of a uniforms indicate support for you, cried moscow denies as a hidden meaning. russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons. says it sees hypersonic miss south and weston ukraine . facetime is conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility. that's not that independently verified.
2:18 am
say what exactly is a hypersonic missile and why would moscow start using it? now? now, in, in russia is kinsey, al, or diagram missiles. there's several times faster than the speed of sound, which makes them harder to detect and nearly impossible to intercept miss as a part of an array of advanced weaponry. russia unveiled back in 2018, tulsa jabari has more in this for moscow. i think it's significant where it was used. it was used in the western region of ukraine in yvonne from kosky, which shares a 50 kilometer long border with romania, that is a nato member country. you have to remember, let me put and had said in the past, that's and is country has the most advanced mis, i'll hypersonic missiles and that russia is really pry,
2:19 am
prides itself on having the advanced weaponry in its arsenal. and the use of this is significant because it really is another reminder to nato countries in the region that russia is willing to use whatever it has in its arsenal to achieve its mission in ukraine. vladimir putin on friday during that rally that they held in moscow said that we know what we have to do. we know how to do it and we know what we have to sacrifice in order to achieve our plans. this is yet another very significant and dangerous reminder that this country is willing to use whatever it has militarily to achieve its goals. they're in ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has laid out his demands for an end to the war and ukraine during a phone call with the turkish leader recham type at a one they were on the call is disputed, wants ukraine to accept being
2:20 am
a neutral state that is unable to join nato also wants to meet ukrainian president vladimir landscape person before agreeing to a piece. do it for him. colleen is turkeys, presidential spokesman, he was part of a small group of officials who listened in on the cool as the positions get closer on the 4 main issues of neutrality. that is no natal membership demilitarization. according to the austrian model, what the russians call enough cation, which is kind of offensive, of course, to the grain and leadership. and then the protection of the russian language. if there is growing consensus, there seems to be growing consensus on this for points. and the last 2 strategic issues of the territorial and political legal status of dawn bass and crimea. it looks like will be addressed at the leaders level. so we're hoping that there will be more convergence on those issues and this meeting will take place sooner rather than later because we all want this war to come to the negotiation teams are
2:21 am
getting closer and closer, even though there is no final written agreement at this point, but as they do their work on this as they bring their positions closer to one another, i think the likelihood of a meeting between the 2 leaders will be increased because it's only true that strategic level meeting that a piece deal. a permanent piece of permanent fire can be established. tacky has become a sanctuary. the russians who oppose the war package. airlines is one of the few foreign carriers still flying to moscow. russia, a passport holders allowed visa, free entry for 60 days. so them console who spoke with some of them in the stumble . yeah, queueing to get into a charity concert and stumbles. got a good district. hundreds. so fractions here, united in showing their opposition to their countries war in ukraine, and support for the ukrainian fight to stop the invasion. most of them are young
2:22 am
and a well educated russians. if you're right, the war in your face, you can go to the others, say they were arrested for joining anti war protests in cities back home. and that's sometime before i got to read because it was and some others. and i got far also in a stumble is elisa savor. the russian actor is left most go 2 weeks ago to crime her life, to the small room in a hospital. she has a rush and passport, but half of her family is ukrainian. like many of her peers, she was born after russian president vladimir putin was elected whenever chose him . we literally had to
2:23 am
a couple years ago. we never wanted for this government. people feel guilty generation trying to do something fun as possible and then center. but living in turkey means many challenges lie, a hat, the russian anti war new comers need alive to settle housing, money due to the crippling international sanctions. their credit cards don't work. most have no plan. pretty nice and clean and it's good enough to even wrap up port is an answer. apology researcher who left russia 9 years ago. she has been in a stumble for nearly 2 years and stayed out of politics. but now she helps other russians have fled to get a roof over their heads. i cannot go on and do my regular day. busy or something so unjust and uncalled for the happening. fathers in south exile,
2:24 am
few for the future and prudence potential revenge. when he turns back from the war, he will turn his eyes to the people that did not support his actions and then will be war inside. as well as russians come, ukrainians also ended up in his stumble, hewick is married to a russian and cousin, but felt he wasn't safe there or in his hometown cave, either thrill is said that her russian people are they worry about the economy when our people die turkey is one of the is. here's the summations, toys scape to for russians, war against war, but even to fighting a new queen, anne soon russians may face 15 year prison sentence if they return home because of their social media polls. and they are opposition to the invasion, sciatica, solo alpha, 0, assemble anti war protesters have gathered in the french capital to show solidarity
2:25 am

2:26 am
a new legislation which allows everybody who cross the border up to 24th to register and to get like a sort of like a national identity number or quote polish and to get the free medical care, etc. so like, you know, that actually have already not been so super efficient with that and you got 2000000 people more additionally, most of the people are actually in private houses in private, private where opposed. we're just really kind enough to take the brain. but we basically know that this is not going to last. we know that, you know, this kind of just kind of arrangements are maybe temporary. and most of the people don't know what's going to happen and you know, where are they going to go? we are also quite true that you know,
2:27 am
not all of them will be able to actually get to work in poland to, you know, to be able to send children to school in portland, et cetera. even though of the see, our government says that everything will be possible. will the city of live in western ukraine has become safe haven for those fleeing? the wars in other parts of the country is estimated more than 200000 entirely displaced ukrainians have sought refuge. asana, come incur as a coordinator would save ukraine based and live al jazeera spoke to other groups. work. my name is oksana. i'm mar, 27 years old. and to now i yeah, i live with my friends near live and we make some volunteer projects. i'm from all and that cannot it sir? cynthia, in as a parisha region. i here is they biggest nuclear power station. and unfortunately
