5:05 am
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 are long haired. 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 with the shelling gun. the artillery and even was we've been here . we've heard loud thumps on that shows the can hear that now that's heavy artillery filing that fire and gas going gone all day and all night. and if you look a lot wrong along the horizon, you can see smoke rising from the heavy fighting that's taking place. now the russians have been pounding the city really heavily for the last 2 weeks. but the ukranian 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 you to take in some more of the
5:06 am

5:07 am
but most are paid for by the volunteers themselves. lou, to who i always wanted to do and karen work. i don't have grandparents. so this house you can say to her that it really comes from my heart, said 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, i should be completely alone and hungry. then i won't tell. i was in hospital his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have 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
5:08 am
demand for its 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 kill serv also become a frontline of sorts. and the war effort, most of the restaurants across the city are shut, but the kitchens are open and the sheriffs are working. now they might not be making 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 0 cave or russians are starting to see the impact of the war on their economy as sanctions began to bite from inflation to supply chain
5:09 am
logistics, every corner of the economy likely be affected bennett smith has moved from 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 cost $70.00 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 significantly more than $10.00. i ran out of salt and sugar and i couldn't find ample. now today they appeared. no 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 we. those now is $480.00. last time he bought buckwheat almost 200,
5:10 am
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 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 opportunities to be had 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 chamber?
5:11 am
durable dollar exchange rate is also a big stress. many russians credit, the 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 grew to launch, since russia's invasion of ukraine and his war we challenge reports is raising questions about how political tensions will affect international space exploration . everything is non and now weekend. they may now be floating full 100 kilometers above the surface. however, terrestrial conflict is accompanied, the international space station, new as visitors, 11 1st through the hatch is denise map. the hugs and smiles greeted sag a cossack of denise my fave, and i got him. yes,
5:12 am
they came through the hatch box to 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 that countries invasion of ukraine. sometimes yellow is just yellow, scuffed rushes space agency on telegraph with russian mission control. got on combs, just to make sure you preview through dinner or you know, well that's them asking like why the crew is wearing yellow suits while everyone else on the i ss, whereas grey, he is alex reply. let's make it sound because each crew pick 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. so that's why we had to wear yellow flight seats perhaps,
5:13 am
but russian space and defense analysts probably fell. going howard says if they were making a political comments, they need a cover story for a rush and cost money to go against the grid this. well, i mean, he'll be just simply not sent to space again for them that the tragedy and the rush and cosmic agency and meet you or go of them being 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, you know, 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,
5:14 am
are being pulled apart in weeks. will re challenge, how does erroring more coverage as ukraine coming out ahead? the leaders of japan and india edge piece despite differences over rushes invasion . ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello, we got the rain clouds gathering for central parts of china. we got 2 more the way of where to where the gravity coming through here. see how that cloud just dives down across central pass ahead of that. so we got some snow in the forecast once again, it's the western and northern parts of japan that is likely to we're cause a little bit of disruption or heavy snow wet snow coming through here. not quite as widespread as we go on into. we're monday though,
5:15 am
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 south east asia as the equinox of course. and that means i showers as they should be straggling the equator, although still a little better than it should be in 2 parts of indonesia and noticed some very heavy rain there. just around the adam and see we've got 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 nic a barrel is the out of an island seen some very heavy. right. and that wet weather will make its way further north, which as we go through monday and on into tuesday, pushing into western pass myanmar. oh, with sponsored by casara ways. oh, with jealousy? good. she just thinks quiz in very glamorous, it's part of our culture of to,
5:16 am
to look our very best for a special occasion for that people who spend money, everything you see on because, well, they do it here. is going to be longevity. but john, have to come in and turn things around to my my gerry on al jazeera. ah, ah ah, it watching out as a reminder of our top stories this, our russian tanks have been seen firing on the narrow streets in ukraine, southern poor city of modern poll. despite the heavy bombardment, another convoys,
5:17 am
civilians have managed to leave the besieged city. ukraine says 10 humanitarian corridor was have been agreed with russia. russia's cause when old sa, causing a stun space, there's been speculation. the blue and yellow colors of the uniforms indicate support for ukraine, while sco denies as a hidden meaning. russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons that says it's used hypersonic missiles in western ukraine for the 1st time this conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility that has 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 dagger 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 rush and veiled in 2018. there was a jibari has more in this for moscow. i think it's significant where it was used.
5:18 am
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. we have to remember, a lot of me put in had said in the past that is country has the most advanced med miss. i'll am hyper sonic 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 at willing to use whatever it has in its arsenal to achieve its mission in ukraine. vladimir putin on friday at, 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
5:19 am
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. blood man, patient has insisted. the invasion of ukraine is an operation to demilitarize and deep notify the country. a group of holocaust scholars says his claim, the government is pro nazis factually wrong and morally repugnant. b crane has been struggling with extremism. a number of far right militias have emerged in ukraine, says the conflicts in the east began 2014, including the ultra nationalists as of battalion, which is now integrated into ukraine's army. analysts have auggie, the integration rained in the battalion and routed out near nazis and its ranks. some us politicians say it should be designated a terrorist group. and in recent years, there have been multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine,
5:20 am
which prompted the government to introduce new penalties. cynthia miller interests is the author of hate in the home latin. the new global fall writes, she says, patients talk of d notification is propaganda. but maintains that extremism is an issue in ukraine. ukraine, like other military is a german military. the u. s. military has had a problem with far right extreme it them white 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 nationalists factions 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 and mobilization happening among global white supremacist to go to
5:21 am
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 the training to recruit to, to fundraise. so that's the danger is that people are going there. the other danger, 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 to have these ideological views once they're there. so again, it's a minority problem, but that doesn't mean we, you know, we can dismiss the propaganda while still acknowledging that there is a small problem that has to be dealt with and that could exacerbate, have some ripple effects after this conflict is over. and more than 3300000 refugees have fled ukraine. fence a starts of rushes. invasion over 3 weeks ago is a breakdown of where they've been going. poland has taken in the most with more
5:22 am
than 2000000 refugees. while deva hungry romanians for vacuum have open borders to mostly women and children who've been able to flee. even russia is taken in tens of thousands of refugees, while more than 2000 have fled to the roof. children playing when you crane all at a heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation, that is the warning from the united nations children's fun. unicef. well then one and a half 1000000 children have now fled ukraine since the russian invasion in his office and governments of neighboring countries to strengthen child protection screenings and border crossings to best identify young refugees of risk. so english for me to staff is in live in western ukraine. he says children need specialized support services to help them cope with the trauma, war and displacement. i spend the last couple of days in a hostile in here in libby and you know, the, the stories of because i've met one young boy 15 years old. andre 2 weeks ago. he
5:23 am
was in a car with his mom and his cousin when they used to love mine and he saw his mother passed away before his eyes in planes. and you cannot begin to imagine the pain that children are going through. and as you say, you know, this is not, children are resilient, but this is not something which they're going to be able to deal with by themselves and say they need dedicated can support training. psychologists and psycho social workers provide this cat, you know, because 1.6 plus 1000000 refugees, 3300000 displaced. these are almost 5000000 children force from their homes as 5000000 children, you know, who had their lives turned upside down. the scale of this is huge. that's huge amounts to be done. you know, that international support corporation solidarity is desperately needed along with those leaving ukraine. the huge numbers of people being internally displaced. all the 200000 are estimated to have arrived in la viv oksana coming co coordinator
5:24 am

5:25 am
it started to walk home. i think maybe it was so day after starting the war. this is natalia. she is like a grandma, although spray says she just help everyone who needs some help or advice or something else. she is cooking cooking for all or hungry people that could be in this place. it's help her to be more calm because she has a bad situation with her family because part of her family is in much open now and a harris no connection or with her. her own children with her granddaughter sent or grandsons doing nothing. my head will just blowing. so this walk helps me to orm not to sing too much about the
5:26 am
war, and to feel that i all can help people that i also take part in them, may be small part by to buy to in the way of our winning this war. and i hope that so, and all the citizens, all people of ukraine will understand fully understand importance of their independence. and it will be like a chance to build it from their basement. and so build it in the right way to pounds prime minister for mucous shaders. visiting his indian counterpart, miranda moody, a meeting is happening under the shadow of the ukraine war. the 2 countries have voice different reactions to russia's invasion of ukraine and has been per annum reports from new delhi. for me. ok, she, that arrived in new delhi for his 1st visit to india, as japanese prime minister. he hal talks with money and that a morty,

5:28 am
the biggest oil company here has finalized a deal to buy 3000000 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 all 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 i as they are illegally invading ukraine, looking at the political analysts say japan is less likely to be critical of india sounds in state coffee. it's about what, what, how to most. i think china da thought india obs. yellowstone haute indiana, sheila, she actually stands. why in the us? why i think at the end of the bait boils down to national interest. i think these
