for the ukrainians and a lot of admiration for president zalinski for what he's doing personally. and also for the ukranian citizens who are fighting back even better than expected and, and really holding off the russian attack. more than, than had been anticipated. at the same time, they return to the, to the red lines that nato has, and that is that they will not enter the conflict they, they are here to defend allied territory. that's 30 countries. that's these, these countries along the borders with, with russia, with ukraine, with beller ruse, and nato does not want to move further. it will be up to individual governments like the united states, like poland, like the u. k. to provide bilateral support to ukraine. that just isn't coming out of nato headquarters as as desperately as, as fellow leaders here feel for the ukrainians on the ground. did have ms. terry shelter reporting a lot from me to headquarters. thank you very much, terry. meanwhile, the russian government has introduced drastic new measures to clamp down on descent

as a position to the wars growing among russians. on friday morning, parliament passed legislation banning the spread of information critical off rushes . war or military violations could carry up to 15 years in prison. free speech advocates are warning that this will dramatically increase censorship. also the countries media watched or has restricted access to d, w, the b, b, c, and other international media websites. earlier this week, the popular echo moscow radio station and the independent dos tv. we're also shopped out as you're not at sir, brandy w, russia, correspondent, emily sherwin on this normally bass in moscow that says the kremlin shocked on our bureau, that revoked accreditation for all our colleagues and journalists, they're working from berlin. it's good to have you in the studio for a change. ok, so let's talk about this new legislation by the russian parliament housing. if you could this, this was very drastic. it essentially means that all criticism can be silenced and

the fear that already existed, you know, even before this war in russian society is being solidified. so even this just last week, the media watchdog in russia was warning that media outlets in russia can only use official sources to report about of what they're calling a special operation. they also were telling critical media outlets that they can't call a war a war, but that they should be referring to it as a special operation. now it seems with this new law, which means up to 15 years in prison, essentially for any thing that that veers off the official line. that essentially makes critical media impossible. i know a lot of foreign colleagues as well. foreign journalists are thinking whether it's even safe for them to stay in the country. learners as well. well, it applies to anyone spreading information, foreigners included and, and also, social media posts could be included. so essentially, anyone posting about the war criticizing the war,

spreading any information about the war on line at all on facebook, on instagram and so on, could face, you know, quite a drastic punishment. and we've seen that before as well, that these laws can be applied to social media as well. well, it basically this band is there to, to stop descent inside the country. we're getting different the different picture here in the west. how big is the potential for descent in the country right now? well, it's hard to know because of course, it's hard to trust poles. at the moment there has been an official poll from a government pollster, which says at around 66 percent are in favor of this war, an independent experts that i've been talking to put that number at more like 50 percent, which is still pretty high. and it shows you that a lot of people do turn to official sources of information, especially in times when they're afraid when they're on shore. people start

watching state tv. and of course the line there is that russia is liberating ukraine from the neo nazis. and that this is a non violent operation, almost, you know, where they're not hitting civilian targets at all. so that's the, the current line there. and i've heard from, of, you know, people that i'm talking to on the ground of friends as well, who are saying that they can't actually talk to their parents about this anymore because there's a huge generational divide, of course, in how people consume media. people who are younger, consumed media, more online, others, older people often watch state tv. so people are saying, i can't talk to my parents anymore because they are, they're saying that everyone in the west is not sees. they're saying, you know, don't, don't be a traitor and, and, and so on. so really quite upsetting things that you're hearing from, from russians on the ground as well about that. so that it, it, russia, made it more difficult to get uncensored a information a right now,

but how can get people in russia is still possible to get uncensored information, but it's more difficult on exactly at the moment. it's so possible. russia does, of course, have the possibility to cut its own internet off from the world wide web. experts are saying that that's still quite unlikely and could be technically difficult, but that's a danger. people are using a vpn services, which means that they can essentially hide their i p addresses and pretend they're in a different country in order to access information that would be blocked within russia . so they can access critical media outlets. you are mentioning that, you know, mendoza was being blocked a critical media that the b, b, c, d, w many others as well. but it's an effort and you know, the question is whether people will continue to, to try to find information, especially in a situation where they're confused and upset anyway. that's a danger. and people are using telegram messaging services as well to get their

channels on there with news as well. but it's getting, it's getting harder and harder and i expect that to continue as well. in the coming days. let's talk about the room is that martial law could be introduced in russia. is that realistic and the hardwood russian public react to that? i would say that at this point, almost anything is realistic when it comes to repressive measures within the country. you know, we've seen repressive measures i'll, i think anything is possible. ah, we don't know what the introduction of martial law would mean in practice. apparently there's quite a broad range of measures that could be introduced, but it could mean border closures, mobilization and a huge you know, even more censorship essentially. and a lot of people are currently trying to leave the country because of these rumors, odd of their reports that there are, there's a huge demand for flights to leave the country, especially to countries where there is no visa and measures for russian. so that,

that, that they could actually stay there any longer and john, so many one way flights as well. and i'm hearing this from friends who are trying to find a way out. of course, not everyone as i was saying. and, and as people wait to figure out what's happening, of course the sanctions are biting as well. so one person was telling me they had around $10000.00 in savings to try to leave the country. now that money is worth $5000.00 and that's no getting worse and worse, of course, as the ruble is in free fall as well when things are russia course one and emily, sherwin that thank you. numerous cities are cross ukraine, remain other heavy bombardment. but so far, the black sea portal curse on as the only major urban center to fall since russia began its invasion. more than a week ago. ukraine and the u. s. have accused rush of deliberately hitting civilian targets, doing its attacks. meanwhile, civilians all over the country remain strong and their resolved to fight back all

over ukraine. people are getting ready to fight latitude in live if those with combat experience teach those who have never held a gun before idea for one of the rubric. thoughtful i came here to get some understanding of what to do, how to defend myself, and how to survive if the enemy comes for war of the north, bigger. and while it still com and live eve devastation elsewhere could give an indication of what could come. this is what the outskirts of key of look like with russian forces advancing in the east and south president vladimir putin claimed that his so called special military operation is going to plan what is his gifts, although the russian soldiers and officers are acting bravely like true heroes issue, our troops fight with persistence, and full understanding that the cause is right. all. no, when you minute produce,
