3:05 am
a look at that. now this city has been pounded by the russians with strikes, shelling and artillery, and were standing right now was the center of the city. and you can just see that is complete and utter destruction and devastation. now, the feeling that the russians thought that they could take this city without too much resistance, but they were forced out under the feeling by some head that now the russians are punishing this since you have to be careful because the temperature of the 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 the you can see the burn tack cause that were damaged the shelling and the artillery. and even while you've been here, we've heard loud thumbs on that shows you can hear that now that's heavy artillery filing that fire and gas going gone all day and all night. and if you look
3:06 am
a lot wrong along the horizon, you can see smoke rising from the heavy fighting that's taking place. now the russians empowering 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 with 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 when the buildings have collapsed on it. or even the trees here are destroyed and burnt out. it's really something. oh we're in the center of caregiver. the 2nd largest city with the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out. across the ukrainian capital, a volunteer force is emerged helping those who remain behind the networks support
3:07 am
summer caves, most vulnerable around conjoined a group. as they made their deliverance 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 that donated, but most are paid for by the volunteers themselves. love oh to who i always wanted to live in care and work i dont have grandparents so this house me compensate to her that it really comes from my heart. 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 said in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers should be completely alone and hungry though it won't german, i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have
3:08 am
a niece who could help my public transport this child so she can pick out here. oh, he's right now i don't need anything because they 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, an anti tank barricades and it's not just home delivery, kitchens and roadside chaos have 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
3:09 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 am on con, out 0. cave russians are starting see to see the impact the war on their economy of sanctions. again, to bite from inflation to supply chain logistics. every corner economy will likely be affected and it's smith has more from laska, 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 high 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, and 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
3:10 am
significantly more than $10.00. i ran out of salt and sugar and i couldn't find down for now. today they appeared, not my pension would be a nasty, it is not so little, but i spent almost half of it on medicines. so very little remains. of everything is more expensive. sorry fish used to be a $120.00 we those now it's more $118.00. last time we bought. but we almost 200, 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 in ukraine inflation here. 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
3:11 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, containers 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 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 the 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. 3 russian cosmonaut have arrived at the international space station. it is the 1st space group launch since rushes invasion of ukraine and has already
3:12 am
challenged reports. it's raising questions about how political tensions will affect international space exploration. everything is non and now weekend. they may now be floating 400 kilometers above the surface. however, terrestrial conflict is accompanied, the international space station, us visitors 11 1st through the hatch is denise map. the hugs and smiles greeted sag a cossack of denise mad fave. and like a tim yes. as they came through the box, look at the colors from the russian cosmonaut suits yellow and blue, 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 preview through dinner or you know, put that off. that's them asking like why the crew is wearing yellow suits while
3:13 am
everyone else on the i ss whereas grey, he is alex reply. let's take a question because each group picks the suit the overalls under their own choice, so that we don't look the same. now it was our turn to pick the color. 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 to space again and 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,
3:14 am
businesses use yo about either way rushes invasion of ukraine is putting huge strain on space cooperation. us sanctions, a 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 . years of collaboration between russia, the us and it's western allies, are being pulled apart in weeks. rory, challenges on how to they're going more coverage as ukraine is ahead. we made people opposed to the war. he fled to russia to start a new line in turkey. and the leaders of japan and india urge people in ukraine. peace despite differences, every invasion ah,
3:15 am
ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways. hello, we got the rain clouds gathering for central parts of china. we got a more the way of where to where the gravity coming through here. see how that cloud just dives down across central pass. that that's where we got some snow in the forecast. once again, it's the western and northern parts of japan that is likely to cause a little bit of disruption or the heavy snow wet snow coming through here. not quite as widespread as we go on into work monday though. there's the rain last containing cross central parts of china, so it's going to be long and prolonged. it is likely to cause a localized flooding, bits and pieces of cloud and rain to the south of that, joining up in the showers that we have across southeast asia as the equinox of course. and that means i shout as they should be straggling the equator. although still a little wetter than it should be in 2 parts of indonesia, i noticed some very heavy rain there. just around the and m and see we got
3:16 am
a nasty little disturbance developing here. that's going to bring some very where it's very windy weather. it may well develop into a tropical cycle, that's 31 to watch over the next day or so. the nika barrel. as the adamant alice seen some very heavy rain and that wet weather will make its way further northwards as we go through monday and on into tuesday, pushing into western pass myanmar. oh, the with sponsored by casara ways. are china in the u. s. sleep walking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine. here is the test for president joe biden. what proven is really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in europe. if your person united states you seriously got a warrant to gum at the same time, your weekly pay on us politics and society, that's the bottom line award winning documentary from around the world.
3:17 am
on out 0 a ah, you're watching out as a reminder of our top stories this, our russian tanks have been seen firing on a narrow street in ukraine, southern port city of mario poll. despite the heavy, bombardments and now the convoy, civilians has managed to leave the besieged city. ukraine says 10 humanitarian car doors have been agreed with russia. russia's cosmetology causing a stir in space that's been speculation. the blue and yellow colors of their uniforms indicate their support for ukraine. moscow denies. there's a hidden meaning. russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons. it's as it's, he's hypersonic,
3:18 am
missiles and western ukraine for the 1st time. this conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility that's not been independently verified. so what exactly is a hypersonic missile? and why would moscow start using it now known in russia as kansas or die? go missiles there several times faster than the speed of sound, which makes them harder to detect and nearly impossible to intercept the missiles, a part of an array of advanced weaponry, russia and veiled in 2018. dorsey jabari is more in this for moscow. i think it's significant where it was use. it was used in the western region of ukraine in ivana rankoff ski, which shares a 50 kilometer long border with romania. that is a nato member country. you have to remember a lot of me putting had said in the past that is country has the most advanced
3:19 am
missile hypersonic missiles and that russia is really a pri, 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, at 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. there in ukraine, vladimir pierson has insisted the invasion of ukraine as an operation to demilitarize and d, notify the country. a group of holocaust scholars says his claim,
3:20 am
the government is pro nazi is factually wrong and morally repugnant. ukraine has been struggling with extremism. a number of far right malicious, have emerged in ukraine since the conflict in the east began in 2014, including the ultra nationalist as of battalion, which is now integrated into ukraine's army. analysts have auggie, the integration rained in, the battalion is rooted out near note sees in its ranks, but some u, as politicians say it should be designated as a terrorist group. and in recent years, they have been multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine, which prompted the government to introduce new penalties. cynthia miller addresses the author of hate in the homeland the new global far right. she says patients talks of deed notification is propaganda. but extremism is an issue in ukraine. ukraine like other military is a german military. the u. s. military has had
3:21 am
a problem with the far right, extremist and white, the premises among their ranks. it's a minority problem, a very small percentage, but it's a persistent problem and in ukraine that problem has grown since 2014 as ultra nationalist. fractions and militia were clashing with pro russian separatists, or with russia itself and, and have drawn foreign fighters from overseas. again, not all of whom were far right in nature, but some of them are. and that is what we're seeing now to is that there's some recruitment in mobilization happening among global white supremacists to go to ukraine and use this opportunity to, to gain tactical training and combat experience. they may not really have any political objectives in mind related to ukraine, but it's an opportunity to gain that training to recruit to, to fundraise. so that's the danger is that people are going there. the other danger,
3:22 am
of course, is that people go there because they want to defend ukraine and then become radicalized while they're there because they get into a mix of people who have these ideological views once they're there. in some ways, it's not so dissimilar to the foreign fighters that we saw going to fight, you know, overseas for, for in islamist extremist groups. you have this, you have this drug globally here in this case. what the difference is, i think that you have tens of thousands of people going for, you know, just because they want to defend ukraine in this situation. and among that there are a few dozen documented cases of neo nazis in the mix. so it is a, again, i'm pretty small proportion of identified neo nazis course, hard to know how many others there might be that are not known to authorities. so some countries have put in extra, like in the u. k. they've put an extra checks at the depart, your point of exit was people headed to ukraine to try to detect, why are they going and figure this out. but in most places,
3:23 am
those kinds of precautionary measures haven't happened yet. so we don't really know how big the problem is or how big it could be. it's certainly not rising to the level of the propaganda prudent, as suggested by any means. there's no nationwide do not if occasion needed, but, but it is a troubling situation when you have the opportunity to combat, train like that for people who want to do damage done in their home come home countries when they return. russian president vladimir patient has laid out his demands for an end to the war in ukraine during a phone call with the tack ish. lita rich attempt at on those who are on the call say pearson wants ukraine to accept being a neutral state that is unable to join nato. he also wants to meet the ukrainian president. below them is zalinski in person before agreeing to a peace deal will take. he has become sanctuary for russians who oppose the war. takesha airlines is one of the few foreign carriers still flying to moscow. russian
3:24 am
possible holders are allowed visa, free entry for 60 days, and i'm a solo spoke with some of them in a stumble. yeah, queueing to get into a cherry to rep concert in a stumbles, got a good district. hundreds. so fractions here, united and show you their opposition to their countries war in ukraine, and support for the ukranian fight to stop the invasion. most of them are young and a well educated russians. if you're either more in your nissan or place, you can go to the other, say they were arrested for joining anti war protests in cities back home the sometime before i got to rinse because it was in some around i got fired. also in a stumble is alley says,

3:26 am
a stumble for nearly 2 years and stayed out of politics. but now she helps other russians the flat to get a roof over their heads. i cannot go on and do my regular daily routine, something so unjust and so uncalled for the happening. fathers in south exile, 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 a stumble. hewick is married to a russian and cousin, but felt he wasn't safe there or in his hometown cave, either trill is said that her russian people are they worry about the economy when our people die. turkey is one of the easier destinations
3:27 am

3:28 am
the latest finalized agreement from father security and sustainable development with japan, announcing $42000000000.00 worth of investment from india. and while they spoke of this shared democratic values, only the japanese leader mentioned the russian invasion of ukraine. you go to the russian invasion of ukraine is a grave incident shaking the very essence of the international order. you must respond in a form and resolute man. no, i can read such thoughts again to prime minister modica so that prime minister modi focused instead on the asia pacific, alluding to india and japan's shade concerns about china's growing influence in the region. india has abstained from voting on resolutions condemning russia at the united nations moscow as india's largest armed supplier and increasingly oil. and he has all imports from russia so far this month of full times, the amount compared to march last year. and the media over pushing the biggest oil
3:29 am
company here has finalized a deal to buy $3000000.00 barrels of oil from russia at a discounted rate. as the u. s. and other countries imposed sanctions on moscow. russia has been offering oil and other commodities to india and other impulses at low prices. the u. s. said india would not be violating us sanctions by purchasing russian or, and bought added that such a move would put india on what it called the wrong side of history. what we would projector convey to any leader around the world is that the world, the rest of the world is watching, where you're going to stand as it relates to this conflict. i whether it's support for russia in any form as they are illegally invading ukraine, looking of the political analysts say japan is less likely to be critical of india sounds in state coffee. it's about what, what hurt you was. i think china da thought india, rochelle, sort of indiana russia to these tangible in the as well. i think at the end of debate boils down to national interest. i think these companies do understand japan,
3:30 am
most importantly, if not by maybe left the let the other companies, but definitely i think talk your is in full appreciation all for india light in this particular case. the sun, unlike statements from the u. s. and u. k. focusing on india stand on russia, the japanese prime minister said the 2 countries will keep trying to end the war and keep providing support to ukraine and its neighboring countries. elizabeth brought him al jazeera, new deli. ah, this is out there. these you top stories. russian tags have been seen firing on the narrow streets in ukraine, southern port, city of monterey pole. despite the heavy bombardment, another convoy civilians have managed to leave the proceed. city decry and says, humanitarian quarter was have been agreed with russia. russia says it's been destroying ukraine.
