7:03 am
using one of a number of humanitarian car doors operating in the country, an exodus of people has continued telling the same harrowing tale. well, i do have a chance. there is no merrier poll. we sat in the cellar for 10 days and didn't leave once. this destroyed army base in the southern city of mc alive, another search for survivors. there. there's been a new appeal from ukraine's president to end the war through dialogue for julius little musk. i want everyone to hear me, especially in moscow. the time has come to meet to talk then, and does this war grinds on? there's been the competing claims of progress by both sides. the ukrainian say they've been mounting counter attacks and have stopped russian forces surrounding the capital cave. for its part, russia says it is used a new type of missile with an attack on an installation. in the west of the country
7:04 am
was given work away other than its hypersonic. ballistic missiles destroyed a big underground missile arsenal, along with aerial munitions of the ukrainian forces, the ukrainian se overstretched russian forces are bog down in much of the country and have 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 live if the frontline city of car keys has been pamela since the start of the war. there is a desperate search for survivors in the ruins of buildings, as our sad bag reports from the ne. 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
7:05 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 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 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. the shelling and the artillery and even was we've been here, we've heard loud thumps. i'm not sure if you can hear that. now that's have your tillery filing that filing, that's going, gone all day and all night. and if you look a lot wrong along the horizon,
7:06 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 with the russians, a 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 clark, if the 2nd largest city with the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out as head to the ukrainian capital where a volunteer force has emerged to help those who remain behind the network support
7:07 am
some of keith's most vulnerable in ron khan and joined them as they made their daily rounds. 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. long to who i always wanted to do them and tear and work i dont have grandparents so this house me compensate 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, i should be completely alone and hungry and thirsty won't gentlemen. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have
7:08 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 you're facing. 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's 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 have also become a frontline of sorts in 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
7:09 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. russians are starting to see the impact of the war on their economy as sanctions buys from inflation to supply chain logistics, every corner of the economy will likely be affected. as bennett 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 light, but the prices went had notably hotels. and actually the price of sugar went up
7:10 am
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. 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 $120.00 we those now it's more $118.00. 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 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
7:11 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 like 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 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. 3 russian cosmonaut have arrived at the international space station. it's the 1st time space crew to the 1st space crew, rather to launch scenes,
7:12 am
it rushes invasion of ukraine and is worried challenge 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 full 100 kilometers above the surface. however, terrestrial conflict is accompanied the international space station, the newest visitors 11. first through the hatch is denise map. the hugs and smiles greeted sag a cossack of denise mad fave. and like a tim. yes, they came through the 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 is just yellow, scuffed rushes space agency on tele grandma with russian mission control. got on combs just to make sure you preview the through dinner. you know,
7:13 am
that's them asking like why the crew is wearing yellow suits while everyone else on the i ss. whereas gray, 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. so that's why we had to wear yellow flights. it's 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 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
7:14 am
resentment, they found the very good we go cover to say that this is jeff businesses use, you know, about either way russia's invasion of ukraine is putting huge strain on space, cooperation. us sanctions, a targeting russian 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 challenge, how does erroring still a, hey, john al jazeera, the lady of japan and india edge case despite differences. all of the russians invasion and bridging the political and cultural divide, and exhibition of persian in your office and insight into modern iran. ah,
7:15 am
ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored play cut on airways. hello, we still got some rather when she weather in 2 were parts of the middle east and all the paths in particular, lot of class still showing up here more snow just around the turkey pushing out to the black sea isn't over towards the caspian right across the caucuses further south is cold enough to around the live at 10 or 11 celsius. if you're lucky. 30 degrees there in baghdad. no sound of any cold here. starting to warm up just once again down across southern parts of the arabian peninsula, but noticed one or 2 showers there at the central and southern parts of saudi arabia over the next day or so they should clear through. as we go on into monday as should the wintry stuff that we do have a little further north, but notice jordan to catch a shower, maybe a roxy one or 2 showers as we go on into the early part of next week. showers
7:16 am
lingering to across northern parts of africa and very brisk winds coming through here rather nasty weather on the cool side as well. if the dust and sand and we have got the showers, of course, into a west africa now pushing across liberia, sierra leone, garner ivory coast, southern parts of nigeria joining up with the showers that we have across the tropics. so showers extending their way down to was northern areas of madagascar that where to where the started to make his way into tanzania. lou weather sponsored by katara always from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between. it did not restart to poor people and pure our planet promised to ensure the safety of woman what's happened, the just the 15th. i pulled back that people actually have more feel. why is the u . k. so hostile to train the mysteries, all of it join me. if i take on the live dismantled misconceptions and debate the
7:17 am
contradiction. carmen get up front on al jazeera. ah ah, hello, are you watching out a 0? i'm emily angling. let's take a look at our top stories this alum russian tanks have been seen firing on a narrow, straight in crane southern port city of mario palm. despite the heavy bombardment, another convoy of civilians has managed to late. the besieged city rushes, cosmonaut, causing a stir in space. there's been speculation. the blue and yellow colors of a uniforms indicate support for ukraine. but moscow denies busy human meeting. and russia says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision
7:18 am
weapons. it says it's used to hypersonic missiles in western ukraine the 1st time during this conflict to destroy a weapon storage facility. but that hasn't been independently verified. so let's take a look at exactly what ease a hypersonic missile and why moscow would start using it right now. known in russia as kinsey or dagger missiles there several times faster than the speed of sound. because of that and they're much harder to detect and nearly impossible to intercept. they can also change course me to flight. and missiles are part of an array of advanced weaponry. russia and veiled back in 2018 dose of jibari has moved from moscow. they think it's significant where it was used for 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,
7:19 am
a vladimir putin had said in the past that is country has the most advanced med miss. i'll 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 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 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. let me put in has insisted the invasion of ukraine is an operation to
7:20 am
demilitarize and be not to find the country. a group of holocaust scholars says his claim, the government is pro nazi is factually wrong and morally repugnant. but crying has been struggling with extremism. a number of far right militias have emerged since the conflict in the 8th began back in 2014, including the ultra nationalist as of battalion, which is now integrated into ukraine's army. analysts have argued that integration rained in the battalion and routed out neo nazis in its ranks. but some us politicians say it should be a designated terrorist group. and in recent years, there has been a multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine, which prompted the government to introduce you penalties. cynthia, cynthia, rather mila interest is the author of hate in the homeland, the new global arrive. she says, prudence talk of dean, that vacation is propaganda. but maintains that extremism is an issue in ukraine.
7:21 am
ukraine, like other military is a german military. the u. s. military has had a problem with the far right extreme it them white supremacists 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, 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 are 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
7:22 am
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 who have this idea. logical 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. more than 3300000 refugees have now played ukraine since the sound of the invasion more than 3 weeks ago. he's a breakdown of where they going. poland has taken in the most with more than 2000000 refugees. moldova hungry romania ends. the voc. yeah. have opened their borders to see women and children have been able to flame, and even russia has taken in tens of thousands of people,
7:23 am
while more than 2000 have flayed to ballad bruce. children flaying the war in ukraine are at a heightened risk of human trafficking and exploits haitian. that's the warning from the united nations children's fund. unicef, all the one and a half 1000000 children have fled ukraine since the invasion, jo, english from us that the children also need help to start with the trauma of rule. i spend the last couple of days in a hospital in a regular phase, 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, 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
7:24 am
workers to provide this cat. you know, because 1.6 plus 1000000 refugees, 3300000 display. these are almost 5000000 children force in their home. that's 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 arrived in levine. oksana camico is a coordinator with save ukraine, a group working to help those arriving in the west from other parts of the country . she spoke to al jazeera about her group's work. my name is oksana. i love 27 years old and to now i year live with my friends near live and we make some
7:25 am
volunteer projects. i'm from all and that cannot it sir? cynthia is parisha region. i here is the biggest nuclear power station. and unfortunately for now, this town is occupied by russians are green forest, it's her office war, they're learning english and her during the war, it became a shelter shelter for all the refugees. so all war need someplace to leave for, to relax to think about their future and so on. i am our coordinator of the south woman. 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 a spray, so she just help everyone who needs some help or advice or something else. she is
7:26 am
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 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 may be small part by to potter in the way of our winning. this war, and i hope that some, all the citizens, all people of ukraine will understand fully understand importance of
7:27 am
their independence. and it will be like a chance to build it from their basement. and so build it in the lightweight world renowned ballet stars have raised at least $180000.00 for ukrainians during a gala performance in london, lou leading stars from russia and ukraine as well as asia and the americas participated in the show at the london coliseum ukrainian. ivan petrov openings event. it is important to show that the whole world is supporting and train and that is for ukraine here at london. can you see him have an incredible array of artists? musicians who joined from around the world. we have dancers from brazil, from england, from scotland, from france, russians,
7:28 am
ukrainians. it is important to show that russian, there's an equal aggression. there's an equal to heretic scenes that are happening in the ukraine right now, away from ukraine now. and the divide between the u. s. and iran has been highlighted by racing efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal by the persian odd exhibition in new york as him to bridge that gap, kristen salome has no with ornate patterns and islam references. the current exhibit at new york's asia society clearly shows its persian roots why she called me in his interest in alchemy. but the exquisite craftsmanship isn't all that curator fresh to diff. tari wants her american audience to see when you look at the works, you know, you would realize that they're not just mere decorative works. they have very profound messages to convey, even if at times the messages are concealed. rebel jester, mystic poet,
7:29 am
contemporary persians, features 20 plus living artists from iran, and it's diaspora. about a 3rd of the artists on display still reside there in a country long seen as an american adversary. the work on display conveys many aspects of persian identity to a western audience. more accustomed to seeing modern iran through a political lens at times the work plays with stereotypes to present a more nuanced view, less image of an open wound, or even a bullet hole from war and peace. she's connecting this idea of war with the pursuit of oil to gender identity. it's sort of in a way rebellion against would, is expected of, of iranians, of iranian women. the art reveals, of the people behind the politics. would they be able to show these works and around, most of them have been shown in euro yes,
7:30 am
most have been shown. but of course, you have to me are so sensitive about certain rules, sometimes using humor to quietly subvert authority. the biggest misconception is that all women are depressed and they're only there under the veil, and they are repressed or beauty to convey something dark. the idea of mirrors reflecting truth. these contemporary persians, like all great artists compelled if you were to look again for a completely different perspective. kristin salumi al jazeera new york. and you can find out much more on our website. the address is down to sierra dot com ah, you're watching al jazeera, these are the stories where following this, our russian tanks had been same firing on a narrow, straight in ukraine's at southern port city of mario pole. despite the heavy
