2:07 am
but they were mistaken. they were met with fierce ukrainian resistance and as a result, to punish her, keep the risk out. it's historical hot. for weeks there's been bombing day and night. once the city of 1500000, many have left mill who some of those who remain for the struggle for food. this man brought frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. i'm not quite sure, i hopefully will end soon so that our children can leave mapleton begun by fortune. and as the sound of a, till refills the sky, people head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is taken as this included inside the trains lose only my darcy been like a 100 i fully heard. so i'm sleeping here. what took the mattress and pumped it up

2:09 am
defense ministry says that it's used hypersonic missiles again for a 2nd time. there's no way of independently verifying this, but they use them to target a fuel storage site in the south of ukraine. and they launched cruise missiles from the caspian sea and the black sea at other targets in ukraine. second time, they've used these hypersonic or missiles, and this is what the defense ministry had to say. a lot more profile. the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depot, used by ukraine's armed forces. when near the village of constantinople, kinds of muslin with the main supplies of fuel, for greens, army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss. i largely struck the training center good for you. green special forces, where foreign mercenaries were based on offering. now the something of an arms raised going on between russia, the united states and china over these hypersonic missiles hypersonic,
2:10 am
meaning that can fly at 5 times. the speed of sound that they've never been used in a battlefield environment before as far as we know. so if it's possible to independent, confirm that russia has been using them, that is the 1st time in this environment they, they have been used and an indication, again, of really the superior military arsenal. russia has it at its disposal compared to what ukraine is having to defend itself with. okay, let's look at the latest situation on the ground, the territory in red. there indicates areas that russia and it's separate as allies control. around 4000 people were able to escape the fighting on saturday. catching mattie up on the south would establish a land corridor for russian fort forces between annex crimea and the separatist held east in region of dumbass. as get a better understanding of what is happening on the ground with which it whits, whites it. he is
2:11 am
a defense and security analyst with strata global risk consultancy. he joyce from washington d. c. thank you for your time, sir. in the 3 plus weeks of this will, russia has managed to seize control of notable chunks of ukrainian territory, especially in the south. but in recent days, the vedic seems to be that it stoled on all fronts. is that your assessment? yeah, i would say that the 1st day they try to just they that sees some key assets in airports and other facilities in near care of and just make a show of force in the south. i think they expected just the shock the ukrainians into surrender, or didn't expect much resistance, but that total that, that failed. a lot of their airborne forces were captured or shot down. and then they launched this massive offensive from the north, the east and through the south. and that made some progress in thus, in correctly,
2:12 am
in the south. but for the past few weeks, it's pretty much stall. they don't care to be making much territorial gains except for our in, near the see if i was off in the southeast, near mary opal, which will probably fall soon. yeah. but otherwise, it's been pretty much as a miss layman is switching to just launching massive missiles mortars and the hypersonic systems you mention in the, in the package. yeah, i'll ask you about that in a 2nd. but let me pick you up on mateo pole because it has been one of the hardest hit. and the situation that does appear to be getting increasingly desperate. you do think that russia will conquer that city and if they do, when they do, how big again would that be for them? i think they will just because the numbers favor them and they've made it a priority and it's difficult for the ukrainians to defend it. the city census now
2:13 am
surrounded, it will have certain benefits for the russia in the short term, so it will allow them to came the claim, the capture of a 2nd large city. it will allow them to take any forces that were there besides. so the need for occupation and be deploy them, perhaps the nor perhaps to the west. and it allows them then the connect that don bass through to crimea through the south east and cut ukraine off from that part of the black sea. so there are some benefits, but long term it's, you know, this low only allowed them to capture what they could have gotten pretty early, which was just the pipe connecting a land bridge between the don bath and crimea. and now they've got all these mat sanctions. they military, it's been embarrassed so it's not clear to me what happens next. can they just say ok we, when you know, so we got what we wanted wars over we when,
2:14 am
which wouldn't really be very credit. busy or they try and go on and that's gonna be much more difficult. let's talk about these hypersonic missiles, also known as dagger missiles. they travel faster than the speed of sound and can even change direction. mid flights. proved pretty heavy hisses. how could the use of such weapons change the direction of the war going forward? sure, so russia has 3 types of hypersonic muscles. one is the dagger, which you mentioned with. it's a ballistic missile launch from an airplane. and it's very fast, but short range. they also have longer range is ones that can lie as like the space shuttle at a tour, perhaps as far as north america or missile cruise missiles that just fly very fast more faster than which they could also use in ukraine. so they have some advantages in allowing them to overcome ukrainian air defenses which are not that strong but
2:15 am
still been shooting down some. yes. will never shock a fact. that means they can attack anywhere and ukraine in a few minutes without much warning time. and they're good for taking out deeply buried and hard and target, such as we thought about the 1st strike. but russia only has a limited number of the. and so it's, it's basically gonna rely on what we've been seen day after day, which is just massive of artillery unmissable environments, other areas in which some k times they hit ukrainian soldiers, but often they're just killing ukrainian civilians. okay, thank you for your time. richard winds defensible security on this for wiki stress, a global risk consultancy. thank you. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has appealed to israel for help against russia. he address members of the israeli kinessa advising zalinski like in the russian invasion to the holocaust,
2:16 am
and told politicians both countries faced the threat of destruction. i fawcett reports from west jerusalem. israelis gathered in television to watch a speech that blood amused lensky had wanted played to politicians inside israel's class. it but with the parliament in recess its members joined from wherever they were by zoom. the significance remained. a jewish president fighting a war in europe, appealing to what he set out as a sense of shared history, all the louis in the way our history and our survival and world war to listen to the words of the kremlin. they use the terminology of the nazi party, so it's a tragedy that they wanted to exterminate all europe. they did not want to spare any one of you. and now any of us, what they call this, the final solution. me she see. but it wasn't long before ukraine's president pivoted to the present and these really governments current policy, israel's prime minister, naphtali bennett, has presented himself and his country as a neutral mediating force, talking frequently to both savanski and hooted. never far from the surface.
2:17 am
israel's interest in keeping russia on side are continuing to allow israel to carry out air strikes in syria unopposed by duty. is it indifference calculation or mediation without choosing sides? i leave it to you to choose the answer to this question. i only note one thing that indifference kills calculations often turn out to be wrong, and mediation is only possible between countries, but not between good and evil. to lensky went on to chide israel for not adopting sanctions against russia or sending any of its high tech weaponry ma'am, which he said could save ukrainian lives for weeks. now israel's government has been arguing that it's to charity on the war allows that access to both sides and honest broker, facilitating negotiations, but presidents landscape through the strength of his criticism has really exploded . that argument now criticizing almost every aspect it, israel's policy on the war is not the 1st time he's used such a parliamentary address in recent days to attack that country's policy. but there
2:18 am
was an undoubted edge to his words. israeli ministers were quoted in the local media criticizing what they called his outrageous comparisons with the holocaust. the official line came from israel's foreign minister, repeating his condemnation of the attack on ukraine and thanking him president for sharing his feelings and the plight of the cranium. people hurry for, said algeria west seriousness, china's ambassador to the us denies beijing is providing military assistance to russia. speaking on u. s. t, v e said china is against the wall. there's this information about china, providing military offices to russia. we reject that. you know what they know, not what china is doing is, and foods madison slipping backs and the baby formula. now the weapons and ammunition to any party. and we
2:19 am
against the war. as i said, you know, we will do everything to escalate the crisis and timor on ukraine. cells come on out there, including education to subs. i will always speak to indian students fighting to continue their studies after skating bombs much. ah hello receives some very nasty where they're pulling away from the eastern seaboard of the us, eastern parts of canada, dry weather now coming back in behind, high pressure coming in quite adding things down just for a little while. we got this mass of cloud over the rockies, that's going to slip its way further southward. introducing some cooler egg and see
2:20 am
that cooler in place here. there's that wall 27 celsius there for dallas, denver in casper actually into the mid to high teens for sunday afternoon. but the cold air does show his hand as we go when it's a monday just for celsius at that stage. and it will continue to slip a little further east was as we go one into tuesday. so that cooler way just makes its way further. east was bumping into that warm air will moist air coming out of the gulf of mexico. big downfalls. they will return. that's a recipe for some violent storms. large hail damaging winds, possibly the or tornado and it will slowly make its way further eastward. so make the most of the dry weather the have just around the eastern seaboard over the next couple of days. fine and dry me while across western parts. there we go. still some mountain snow there just around the rockies. meanwhile, some lively showers across northern parts of the caribbean to slipping down towards their central america. but for much of the caribbean is fine, dry and sunny. ah,
2:21 am
this feels like representation of who i am and what i want people to remember me by boxes. my get out to is, is not the human. just want to get the people around like got to when i'm telling the story about my, my food is going to take 50 future to do a don't so bad will need to do the can you let you deep? oh ward, where the documentary witness on out his era. ah ah,
2:22 am
watching out as a reminder of our top stories, the sour russia is calling on ukrainian forces to lay down their arms in the city of body poll around 4000 people left the besiege area on sunday. moscow says, a terrible humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding ukraine's presidents as the destruction is rushes doing and cools at a war crime. ukraine 2nd largest city has been constantly hit by russian forces. they haven't been able to take control of khaki for the bombing has caused major damage grains present. belgium is zalinski, has appealed to israel to help against russia address, members of parliament. i soon israel, who say fall ruled out sending military assistance. ukraine honors not join weston sanctions against russia. anita has sent patriot ad defend systems to slovakia. countries defense minutes to previously said it would be willing to provide ukraine with its s $300.00 long range missile systems. if the units were
2:23 am
replaced, ukraine's president laudermill zalinski directly appealed to the u. s. for anti as systems to protect its ass space against russian will. planes and missiles is going on to rosalind jordan in washington d. c. muslin to these patriot air defense systems that have started arriving slovakia from nato. what is the significance of nato sending these weapons? well, this is not a swap, as it might appear to some people. this is a bolstering of, of so many as a air missile defense saw capabilities, which is what both the s 300 series, which is a russian made a missile defense system. and the patriot missile defense system, which is of course, made here in the us. it's what they are designed to do. this basically give sylvania to types of systems to defend its territory from any enemy missile attacks . now as you was told our audience,
2:24 am
the ukrainians would very much like to get their own version of their missile defense system. the s 300 series has been talked about in a number of contexts, whether it's coming from slovenia, or whether it's coming from poland, or whether even possibly it could come from turkey. that to kind of system could help protect of the ukrainian military defend. it's us cities from the kinds of myths will tax that we have seen, which have damaged apartment buildings, schools, places where people are trying to shelter from the expanding war. it's a tricky situation, isn't it? how the u. s. provides help to ukraine. i mean, what signs of creativity are there to get ukraine, the weapons, it says it needs to repel russian forces. well, this is certainly going to be one of the main issues discussed on thursday in brussels at the nato, a convening of ally,
2:25 am
the heads of state and government leaders. this is a chance for people such as boris johnson, the british prime minister, joe biden, the u. s president, manuel mac hall, the french president to talk about ways that nato can get more weapons, not just small arms or rifles and dug and hand guns and that sort of thing. grenades. but get more robust material into the ukranian military's hands with out somehow provoking the russian president vladimir pollutant. and this is something that is of will concern. you'll remember a couple of weeks ago, poland offered to give its entire fleet of meg, what 29, a fighter jets to the u. s. to transfer to a, to the ukraine's. but because the u. s. is afraid of being seen as being a leading edge of nato. it did not accept poland offer. so it's
2:26 am
a real question of how do you get that equipment? and certainly, members of nato are talking with each other, looking for creative ways of making this happen. there's even a suggestion now on the wall street journal that perhaps they could dismantle the poem, mig 29th and sent the spare parts to ukraine. you crank then reconstitute these spare parts and have its own fighter jet fleet. one idea that's out there. okay, thank you for that. rosalind jordan left us in washington dc. the wound crane has force nearly 18000 medical students to return home to india. if filed a petition in the supreme court asking the government allow, they had transferred indian colleges. the students plies has highlighted india's lack of medical colleges as elizabeth problem reports from a super dash you get in. the euclidean in women and children action sharma shows videos of him and his fellow students fleeing the russian bombing of car cave. the
2:27 am
20 year old was in his 1st year of medical school in the east and ukrainian city. he's one of nearly 18000 indian medical students evacuated from ukraine since the russian invasion began milan to need. the upper berman and lithonian begged him and gordon mandolin mill. i passed the entrance exam last year, but i didn't have enough marks to go to government college here because that cut off requirements are very high. so the better option for me was to go overseas with them over my got shanks. this is monica an answer, but he said they were forced to study overseas with fees a much cheaper. their family says they're paying half the amount of fees in ukraine than they would. and private colleges in india, online classes have begun for the sisters and some others, but they're not ideal. or lady monica anxiety, i'm the problem with online is that we need a lot of practical experience, which we aren't able to do. we are a 3rd year students and practical is very important in the 3rd year. so it's
2:28 am
difficult is not the return of the students from ukraine is again putting the spotlight on the lack of medical colleges in india. the number of seats available for medical education in india far less than the number of students who leave school with the hope of becoming doctors or the 1600000. who did the entrance exam last year. only 88000 made it into the 562 medical colleges in the country. given the shortage private colleges charge, hefty fees for the much sought after spaces and receive large donations from students, families, public health experts, blame, and lack of government investment and health care. and what they call the medical council of india's arbitrary regulations to set up colleges, whether it was a bona fide the intent to protect standards. as they said over there, it was to protect some interests of people who are running private medical colleges
2:29 am
. i cannot really say, however, that did result in a smaller number of medical colleges and also clustering of medical colleges in the 4th southern states and to west and indian states. prime minister that ends remotely blamed previous governments for the lack of colleges and said his administration will increase the number. as students who returned from ukraine appealed to the government to find a way for them to continue their studies at home. some health experts say it's an ideal opportunity for india to tackle the dr. shortage. elizabeth per item al jazeera, great in order to publish russia. ukraine have called for foreign volunteers to join the vast sides. one of those on seeing the call as a college student from new york who joined ukrainian forces and how to narrow escape on the front line near the capital key. yeah. got some cuts. yeah, yeah, i got some glass on my face as no big deal. reds got
2:30 am
a nice little head injury that it was. oh, it is. well, my name's alexis and sheila, i was working as a combat medic. and we and our vehicle had a mine and blew up. so i ended up here unfortunately. but luckily my friends are okay, one of one of the gentleman in the car was really severely injured, but they're taking care of him upstairs and he's gonna make it so. yeah, we were going to do a mission today. we were trying to go to a, you know, the, our location and then as in rat, unfortunately. sorry, my head is a little foggy right now. but yeah, and we, when fortunate, we're going through the fields and then hit a mine to play. no, i felt a calling to come here. i felt like it was the right thing to do. i feel like i'm, what's happening here, what putin is doing is evil and it, there is no reason to be putting all these people millions in mind to people through the.
