6:04 am
russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons. it says it's used hypersonic missiles in western ukraine for the 1st time is conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility, but that's not been independently verified. the frontline city of khaki has been pummeled since the start of the wall is a desperate search for survivors in the ruins of buildings. a sad bag reports from ne ukraine. well this is one the worst hit areas of hurricane. the 2nd largest city in ukraine had a population of 1500000. that's when drastically reduced cost. many people have left. now this to the left of me here was a shopping mall. just take 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 there's
6:05 am
a feeling that the russians thought that they could take the city without too much resistance, but they were forced out and as 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 cars 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 have your tillery filing that filing that's going on 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 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
6:06 am
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, we're in the center of clark, if the 2nd largest city with the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out. let's head to the ukrainian capital now where a volunteer force has emerged to help those who remain behind the network supports . some of keith's most vulnerable in mankind joined a group as they made their daily rounds. it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service. ah,
6:07 am
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 wanted to look in and tear 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 stayed in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers should be completely alone and hungry to 30 or gentlemen. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have 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,
6:08 am
which existed before the war to help the homeless and vulnerable younger. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine still operating and 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 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 their usual cuisines. what they're doing is they're making homestar 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 hotmail that they get a day. am on con,
6:09 am
out 0. cave rations are starting to see the impact of the war on their economy. as sanctions begin to bite from inflation to supply chain logistics, every corner of the economy will likely be affected. as bernard smith reports 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 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 lie, but the prices went had notably hotels. and actually the price of sugar went up significantly more than $10.00 doorbells, and i ran out of salt and sugar and i couldn't find down for now to day they appeared, not my pension would be an asi, it is not so little. but i spent almost half of it on medicines,
6:10 am
so very little remains of everything is more expensive. sorry, fish used to be a 120 we. those now is $480.00. last time we brought back, 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 and ukraine inflation here, it was already over 9 percent the highest. it's been in 7 years that could now doubled 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 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
6:11 am
products to russia, even if they are, containers aren't leaving because of concerns about sanctions. so a big question for processing industries 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's the 1st space crew to launch scenes, rushes invasion of ukraine, and is rory challenge reports. it's raising questions about how political tensions will affect international space exploration. everything is not in our weekend. they may now be floating full 100 kilometers above the surface. however,
6:12 am
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 i got him. yes. as they came through the hatch box, 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 was just yellow, scuffed rushes space agency on telegrams with russian mission control. got on combs just to make sure you preview through dinner. what 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 legs reply question, because each group picks the suit the overalls under their own choice so that we
6:13 am
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 rush and cost money 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 wanted to show kind of some kind of resentment, they found the very good we go cover to say that this is jeff businesses use about either way, russia's invasion of ukraine is putting huge strain on space, cooperation, us sanctions or targeting rushes space program,
6:14 am
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 us and it's western allies, are being pulled apart in weeks, rory talents out 0 hurrying. then, still ahead on al jazeera, the ladies in japan in india urge pays despite differences, either rushes invasion and sending support from the ballet stage. how world renowned dances have raised thousands of people in ukraine. ah hello is st. varden storms recently across southern parts of the u. s. t. s. sweeping out of the way through the eastern seaboard still got this airflow pressure up towards the lake,
6:15 am
so still some disturbed weather coming through over the next day or so. to the south of that, we've got some decent spells of warm sunshine, which was the west. this is where we got some cold weather in place or at 15 celsius for denver, at old tongue of cooler air coming in here. 18 celsius for sunday is not in yet. denver on monday, just 3 degrees celsius to the east. that as a say large he settle and right with some sunshine. so the change is coming about because we have got little area of snow mountain 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 for the 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, so that should help to dampen things down. meanwhile, across the caribbean, it's largely fine and fry. we got
6:16 am
a few showers into southern parts of mexico into central america elsewhere. it's sunny. ah. on counting the cost could the war and ukraine plunge the global economy and why you twice it. russia turn to china as you on to survive. sanctions pays the us dollar in danger, and could crypto currencies help russia evade financial punishment? counting the cost on al jazeera, unprompted, and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on al jazeera. ah, ah,
6:17 am
ah. are you watching al jazeera, i am emily anglin. he's a reminder about top stories this our russian tanks have been seen firing on a narrow, straight in ukraine's southern port city of mary palm. despite the heavy bombardment, another convoy of civilians has managed to leave the besieged pc rushes cosmonaut causing a stir in space, has been speculation. the blue and yellow colors of the uniforms indicates support for the crime that moscow denies. they say hidden meeting and russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons. it says it's used hypersonic missiles in west, in ukraine for the 1st time during this conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility that's not been independently verified. so let's take a look at what exactly is
6:18 am
a hypersonic new sound and why would moscow start using it? now, knowing in russia as kings or jack in the south, there are several times faster than the speed of sound, which makes them harder to detect. and nearly impossible to intercept me. sounds are part of an array of advanced weaponry. russia and valve in 2018 for brace party is chief strategy officer at the political consultants. in fam, rasmussen global, he explains what's behind rushes, recent show of force. if you could use trying to say a message to oversee your credit, people that were so your credit is not a centrally better. so message to the where the conversation about providing the ukrainian with the system. he's not afraid of that, and you have to pierce through the ukraine. any other offense? it's embarrassing escalation, because this is not a conventional tire me. so it's not
6:19 am
a cruise me science. so it's not that we see nuclear weapons or it's not. strategy is just below, so it is an escalation better. thank you. so, so potentially a sign of this parisian, because i think by, he's trying to send a message to the russian people. so in that, you know, he's willing to for, or the great technology, russian technology and the problem. but really, it's obvious that he's not going to be able to prevail in college corporations by using the size that probably only has fewer there. given how expensive sophisticated let me persian has insisted, the invasion of ukraine is an operation to demilitarize and d, nuts of fi, the country. a group of holocaust scholars says his claim, the government is probably not the is factually wrong and morally repugnant. but ukraine has been struggling with extremism. a number of far right militias have emerged in ukraine since the conflict in the east began in 2014,
6:20 am
including the ultra nationalist as of a battalion, which is now integrated into ukraine's army. analysts have argued that integration rained in the battalion and routed out new nazis in its ranks. but some us politicians say it should be, it should be a designated terrorist group. and in recent years, there has been multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine, which prompted the government to introduce new penalties. cynthia miller, interest is the author of hate in the homeland the new global far arrive. she says pigeons talk of the not vacation is propaganda, but maintains extremism is an issue in ukraine. ukraine like other military, the german military. the us military has had a problem with the far right extreme. it them white the premises among their ranks . it's a minority problem, a very small percentage, but it's a persistent problem. and in ukraine,
6:21 am
that problem has grown since 2014 as ultra nationalist factions and militias were clashing with pro russian separatists, you know, 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 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 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 this idea, logical views once they're there. so again,
6:22 am
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. more than 3300000 refugees have fled ukraine since the start of rushes invasion move in 3 weeks ago and he's a breakdown of where they're going. poland has taken the most with more than 2000000 refugees. moldova hungry romania and the voc. yeah. have opened their borders to mostly women and children who've been able to slain and even russia has taken in tens of thousands of refugees or more than 2000 have fled to bell roost. children playing worn ukraine are at a higher risk of human trafficking in the exploitation. that's the warning from the united nations children's fund. unicef, all in one and a half 1000000 children have played ukraine. unicef is urging governments of
6:23 am
neighboring countries to strengthen child protection. jo, english from unit that says children also need help to go with the trauma of war. i spend the last couple of days in the hospital and here we live, ave, and you know, the, the stories of the kids. i've met one young boy, 15 years old. andre 2 weeks ago. he was in a car with his mom and his cousin. when they hit alarm on and he saw his mother passed away before his eyes in plains and you cannot begin to imagine the pain that children are going through. and as you say, you know, this is not chosen obviously. and 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 displays. these are almost 5000000 children forcing their homes. that's
6:24 am
5000000 children who have had their lives turned upside down the scale. this is huge. that's huge amount to be done. you know, the infection support corporation solidarity is desperately needed along with those leaving ukraine. there are huge numbers of people being internally displaced. more than 200000 are estimated to have arrived in the vive. oksana coming co is a coordinated with save ukraine, a group working to help those arriving in western crime from other parts of the country. she spoke to al jazeera about her group's work. my name is santa, i'm law 27 years old. and now i live with my friends near live and we make some volunteer projects. i'm from all and that good that if the safety parisha region are harry stay biggest nuclear power station. and unfortunately for now,
6:25 am
the style is occupied by russian group flores. it's our office for that alone in english, and during the war in became a shelter shelter for all the refugees. so all who need some place to leave for, to relax to think about the future and so on. i am at coordinator on the settlement. it started to walk home. i think maybe it was sunday after starting the war. this is natalia. she is like a grandma, although spray so 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 had a bad situation with her family because part of her family is in what opened now.
6:26 am
and a harris, no connection or with her, her own children with her granddaughters and oh, grand sons, doing nothing my head will just blowing. so this walk helps me to orm not to see too much about the war, and to feel that i all can help people that i also take part in them, may be small part by to potter 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 the basement. and so build it in the lightweight japan's prime minister zoom yoke. is she there is visiting his indian counterpart
6:27 am
in orange remoting. the meeting is happening under the shadow of the ukraine wool, for the 2 countries have voiced different reactions to russia's invasion. elizabeth per annum reports from new delhi. for me, ok, she'd arrived in new delhi for his 1st visit to india, as japanese prime minister. he hal talks with many of the morte. the leaders finalized agreement on cyber security and sustainable development with japan, announcing $42000000000.00 worth of investments in india. and while they spoke of this shared democratic values, only the japanese leader mentioned the russian invasion of ukraine. you go and greg it, the russian invasion of ukraine is a grave incident shaking the very essence of the international order. we must respond in a form and resolute men. no, i can read such thoughts again to prime minister more the hulu. prime minister modi focused instead on the asia pacific, alluding to india and japan's shared concerns about china's growing influence in
6:28 am
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 is oil imports from russia so far this month, a full times the amount compared to march last year. and the media over pushing the biggest oil 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 hold the wrong side of history. of 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
6:29 am
for russia in any form 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, us. yellowstone haute, indiana russia to the stands. why in the us, why i think at the end of the day it boils down to national interest. i think these companies do understand japan, most importantly, if not by maybe left the let the other companies. but definitely, i think talk your east in full appreciation all for india flight in this particular case is 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 per autumn al jazeera new delhi well renown. ballet stars have raised more than $190000.00, so ukrainians during a got a performance in london,
