will continue with this beginning. i mean, another stage of this operation is beginning and then sure this will be a very important moment on this and those for sure. the rich ukrainians caught up in the fighting are forced to flee as russian forces pummeled cities and towns ukraine's president says russia will not be successful in the incentives for when you are a he is key. he's the intensity of fire by russian troops in the harkey direction in the dumbass and in the neat pro petrosky region has increased significantly yesterday the same as before. they consider ordinary residential housing to be normal military targets. in this war, the russian army will forever inscribe itself in world history as perhaps the most barbaric and inhumane army in the world, aro, ukraine says its repulse number of russian attacks in the east. a 2nd ultimatum issued by russia for ukrainian soldiers in marrow pulled to surrender has passed.

moscow had said the lives of the soldiers inside to steal works would be sped if they see what it called. senseless resistance said no, no sir. okay, but umbrellas up on those 3 united states and western country and doing everything to drag out a special meeting operation as much as possible. the growing supplies of foreign weapons, clearly signal the intention to provoke the key regime to keep fighting until the last ukrainian or the european union is considering more sanctions on russia. we call on russia, we continue to call in russia to stop all the illegal analogy, the mentor actions connected to his aggression against ukraine and when it comes to next round of the sanctions, i think the you highest representatives, the leaders of that you and also the representatives of the member states, they're very clear that we continue to work on further sanctions. and when the time will be right, they will be announced so far calls for a cease fire or the threat of sanctions have not stopped this war. although russia

heavy artillery being used over sustained a period of time and as of say, a very large area. what's also so incredible in town like this is that there are so few people here seemingly any more local authorities, barcroft saying that they are made around 70 percent of this. the population of the city have already left businesses. homes boarded up, people told to close their curtains at night and avoid putting their lights on. so we'll see if you can imagine people in this area taking this push by the russian forces very seriously indeed. and we also visited the train station here in pa cross. they have a, a daily train now taking those that wants to leave the area out into safe areas. and as i say,

very few people on it. i spoke to one young mother with her 10 year old son. she said that she basically couldn't, could, could, could, can contain her fears any, any longer living in the area that she was a that she'd escape from. and she said that she didn't want her son to become a victim, like the many people we saw killed in boucher well more now on the extra weaponry that western allies have promised to send to ukraine to help its eastern defences. the pentagon has given further details about what's being set we have helped deliver, not just from our stocks, were from stacks of other nations, more than 50000000 rounds of small arms ammunition of various calibers, 50000000. and that's the kind of stuff that the koreans are literally using every single day instances invasion began. so all of that will also be factored into these dis, package going forward live to allen fisher in washington, dc allen. so the u. s. and the number of western allies are pledging more military help for ukraine. what are you hearing there? while it's weeks,

as joe biden announced that the u. s. was going to send any $100000000.00 package or military aid to the ukrainians that's already started arriving in country. in fact, the pentagon, seeing it is somewhere between 40 and 72 hours to get those weapons that material across to ukraine. this has been drawn down from existing u. s. military stalks. now joe biden was asked in the last few hours of there was more military aid going to ukraine and he said yes, there would be. and in fact, the talk in washington over the last few hours is that in the next day or so, we could expect another $800000000.00 package to be announced by joe biden. though he's been speaking to a funeral to allies over the course of the last few hours, he spoke to the canadians to germany and also to the united kingdom. the of all pledge to send more weapons to ukraine. among the things top of the list will be artillery pieces and artillery guns. that's what presidents lensky says, he needs most, but they're also going to send anti tank and anti aircraft missiles as well. no,

you remember at the end of last week, the russians were said to send a diplomatic note to the u. s. concerned that it was sending weapons to ukraine along with its need to allies and that could lead to unexpected consequences. it looks as if the u. s. is not backing down or might even be sending more weapons to you. create your alan. meanwhile, the u. n. chief antonio gutierrez is making another push for a short truce in ukraine. that's right. the un secretary general saying that he would like to see a truce for 4 days starting on thursday to coincide with the christian. busy orthodox religious holiday of easter. and he says no more than ever there is a desperate need to get humanitarian aid into the areas. not that those that have just been targeted, but those that could well be targeted in the coming days. and he also wants to get civilians out of the areas that could well soon be on the front line. we have to

remember that the un secretary general has called for an end to the fighting in the past. and those appeals have fallen on deaf ears. i to alan fish alive for stay in washington dc. allen, thank you. ukraine's nuclear agency has released video showing positions abandoned by russian forces in each novel exclusion zone. they took control of the defunct facility and nearby errors at the start of the war. the site of the world's worst atomic disaster still highly radioactive, including the soil. the russian soldiers dug trenches in the cranes. government says this would have exposed the russian troops to significant doses of radiation while ukrainians who fled are being worn to wait longer before returning. even if it seems things are safer in keys and western parts of the country in berlin steadfast and spoke to some of those who decided to go home. these ukrainian refugees have made a very difficult decision to go back home. they're taking a 25 hour long journey,

have to talk about and we have to consider is the franchise nature of the security can easily be disrupted. it could easily be endangered as we have seen today. so therefore, i think a lot has to be done on the part of the taliban to, to, to provide it probably could be to the entire population. one is done, but it is going to be impossible for them. because if you see the economic hardship deducing for ties meant in the public discontent, that is going with, with every passing day, all those things combined together. i think it could be really difficult for them back at the school security forces arrive to seal off the area. the taliban has been cracking down armed groups since it came to power in august. but this latest attack is a reminder that security remains one of its biggest challenges than martin al jazeera for longer police to fire live rounds to scatter protest is killing one

the islands are in australia's so called back yard patty on dogwill. pacific island countries are not any one's backyard go let alone ponds. in a geopolitical confrontation, island countries have actual needs for diversification of foreign cooperation and also have the right to independently choose their partners. deliberately exaggerating tensions and provoking confrontation between camps is not of interest to island countries. news of the agreement sent shock waves around the world when it was leaked last month. and just hours before it was announced, the u. s. warned against it, saying it could expand the reach of china's military or p, a lay. despite these all nouns, governments comments, the broad nature of the security agreement leaves open the door for the deployments of p r. c, military forces to the solomon islands. a. we believe that signing such an agreement could increase destabilization within the solomon islands. and we'll set a concerning precedent for the wider pacific island region. violent protests in november against unemployment, the prime minister,

in the 1st place. but did he think he'd actually done anything wrong? let me also say not by way of mitigation or excuse me, but purely purely because it explains my previous words in the time that he did not occur to me. then all subsequently the day gathering in the cabinet room just before a vital meeting on cobra strategy. could amount to a breach of the room. i repeat, that was my mistake. and i apologize for it on reserve at lee that will infuriate many of his critics, including m. p.
