>> civilians under attack in ukraine hello everyone. i am alicia acuna along with sean duffy, jacob mcdowell and joey jones. as hundreds of thousands of ukrainian citizens are desperately seeking to escape its broken it sees fireplace civilians in the port city mariupol are under attacking force backed by russian shelling the city left without power, water and heat services amid multiple days of rocket fire in bombings. also tonight, stunning video shows ukraine forces shorting doubt a russian chopper. the helicopter exploding on impact. now to bench munhall live in kyiv ukraine to give us the latest. hello alicia. across the state throughout the whole country of scenic russian forces continuing to attack civilians. continuing to attack urban centers as such the death toll

is also rising about 15 minutes from where we are now is a little town in earlier they were shoveling heavily thousands of people having to flee, having to cross the bombed out bridge to get a crossbreed trying to get to the relative safety of the capitol, kyiv right where we are now but hell in the capitol remain safe nobody knows. that is because russian forces are increasing the push towards the city. it's thought to be a matter of time until they try to take it. across the country there been besieging other cities as well. put in forces continued to bombard civilians in mariupol a cease-fire had been announced less civilians to evacuate. that fell apart almost immediately as russian forces shelled the safe corridors out. president zelensky had a call with senators earlier today he reiterated he needs more weapons he also tore into what he calls a week nato refuting the no fly zone about russia's military losses. >> the russian army though it

reached almost 10,000 killed russian servicemen. 10,000 is a horrific figure. they are boys of 18 -- 20 years old very young boys. they had no explanation of what they were sent to fight for. parks ukrainians are doing their very best to fight back where they have had some success for this video shows russian helicopter being shut down it was released by the ukrainians and posted with the caption welcome to hell. it is giving some people hope and we continue to see defiant scenes in here defying voices is another round of diplomacy has been announced by the russians that will take place on monday but right now little hope a diplomatic solution at this point, alicia. >> been i have a question paid when the decision came down on the no-fly zone yesterday, there was a professor who told neil cavuto he threatened americans this only delays things for this does not keep you out of getting tangled in the war. basically saying it was inevitable. what is your sense that as we

watch these pictures come in more and more horrific day after day of children being killed especially it will be inevitable we get dragged in. >> that is certainly what everyone here said we understand your reluctance to get involved no one wants to have a conflict with russia to nuclear powers. but this is coming your way. putin only understands one thing and that his military force but so far it's been nothing but appeasement. dialogue, diplomacy has not worked at every point he has kept going sanctions have not worked. that's where the argument would be over here. needs to be a no-fly zone or the u.s. needs to get fighter jets are the need to escalate in some way they need to give more. with the biggest threat is sanctions and they have these missiles eventually the shift, scale and size of the russian armed forces, 200,000 people yes they may suffer setbacks logistical, supplies et cetera, but eventually they will power on through the learn from their mistakes it's hard to stop them for you are right, people over

here are saying please give us the no-fly zone. but they understand the reluctance not too. >> sean duffy it's outrageous that russia is showing women and children as they flee mariupol is our second cease-fire being discussed? if so what terms whether need to be to get russia to comply with the cease-fire? >> yes, time and time again russian is broken such cease-fires i'm not sure any time at this point to announce another seat and showed cease-fire it's always being discussed certainly that will be on the agenda when they meet on monday. but this is an example of how little the russians tried in the last round. they sent to those discussions a former deputy minister of culture whereas the ukrainians sent a significantly senior minister of foreign affairs. everyone was shocked the russians are sending a former

minister so lowly. they don't seem to be taking it very seriously at the moment. you look back and russians have used a clumsy time time again to show they are trying to talk the diplomatic path all the same time escalate and they did it with blank and they didn't time and time again in the months leading up to that. look, for all of the talk of humanitarian corridors it's hard to see right now if russia would abide by them. russia does want though, that being said for civilians to flee. they can stop them at targets and send their troops and they are wary of the street to street fighting. they know the death count will rise then that can sway public opinion against them. it is pretty hard right now to trust the diplomatic overtures from the russians. >> benjamin it is dagen mcdowell. what about the indiscriminate damage done to civilians the use of cluster bombs or cluster musicians there have been reports of those. russia is not party to an international treaty that bans

those types of munitions. but what have you heard or even seen in terms of a russia's use of those types of bombs? >> well, president biden is saying there's enough evidence to point to that yet. the nato said there is evidence cluster bombs are being using the videos on social media very clear to sooner cluster bombs used. multiple little flashpoints are indiscriminate they wipe out large areas. look, yes the feeling is they are being used brief look back to previous engagements that russia has been involved in, sierra, chechnya, their use there as well. certainly in there suddenly not too concerned with human a loss we seen that before as well for the evidence points to the fact they are using it. yes those are war crimes in this discussion about collecting the evidence so they can be prosecutions later down the line. but yes that's hardly something's going to scare up some vladimir putin at this point. >> of benjamin, joey jones here. we talked a lot today i think

we're talking 12 hours ago of what was happening south of mariupol and those core doors bread but right there in kyiv looking in a map earlier today it looks like there are battles and towns are due west of kyiv. a mostly russian troops have come from the north and northwest. does that mean they're beginning to circle the city? is that something you are seeing ukrainians react to? is there any key engagements happening to show that core door to the west where we had hoped to bring weapons into kyiv is being cut off? >> the only corridor into the city right now here is through the south. the west is already cut off there are no safe words in there. their clashes up and down the western side. people are quite surprised frankly they have not moved around and cut off the south already. talk about the convoy again and again white stalled the thought was that was going to go down and do appear people are now closely watching troops the russian troops moving from the northeast as well coming down to

the eastern side of the city there stephanie moved to cut them off on both sides. look it is all speculation what had they moved on kyiv yet? perhaps some people are suggesting they want to secure land around the east, the north, the south, mariupol, maybe it's more important to initially capture the black sea coast and they appear to be moving toward odessa keyport towns port cities. it is very hard to read right now. it does appear at the very beginning russian forces hope they can go down very quickly in capture kyiv is a decapitation strike right now that hasn't worked they regrouped taken a step back were not quite sure when that attack on the city might comb. that is why they're such an eerie place to be right now. the city of usually 3 million people, there is no one on the street no one except the soldiers who are ready with their tank traps or sandbags or concrete barriers. people are not leaving. it is a strange place to be an eerie place to be with what considered to be an inevitable

attack at the counter resistance to go with the full force of the army. they are going to encounter resistance here every single person's going to pick up a weapon and fight as hard as they can. that has to do with the leadership of president zelensky he's been remarkable is galvanize public support. they are going to be here, they are going to fight and the fear is it's going to be very brutal. bloodied warfare preceded by softening up by missiles and other artillery. >> benjamin hall, thank you so much for answering all of our questions giving us the analysis. benjamin hall in kyiv, thanks. next, stunning video out of ukraine as a news team is ambushed by russian forces for the dangers on the ground with "the big saturday show" returns. n for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete

cooks are back with a fox news alert. harrowing video out of ukraine when a team of journalists from sky news is ambushed by russian forces near a kyiv checkpoint is a tried to leave the city on monday. >> the government has warned the days of russian saboteurs who have infiltrated the country to bring terror. death squads who are attacking civilians in there because if they flee. they do exist as we found out.

[background noises] [inaudible] stop. [background noises] we are journalists. journalist. journalist. journalist. >> somehow we have to get out of this but the rounds keep coming. it is a professional ambush. the bullets just don't miss. should we crawl down the embankment? [background noises] [background noises] >> that video just grabs you right in the gut. it is harrowing for sure. alicia went to come to you first obviously russia tried to suppress information and try to control the information for the war in ukraine.

do you think this was an attack on journalists or is just just a craziness of war these journalist got caught up in? >> who knows for sure. but it could be a combination of both for sure. you heard them yelling journalist, journalist, journalist i did not seem to matter but who knows of the saboteurs were able to even hear these folks. but i don't also give a shout out to richie that's the photographer who kept rolling was able to bring this to us. i think it also serves as a reminder that whenever you see video on a newscast it's not shot by citizen sending it in there is a photographer behind that camera and a crew with that photographer bringing those images to us. no matter how many acolytes people try to give to them, they will always point to the people especially in these war zones, to the people who they are covering for that is something we can all remember, they give us insight into what is happening on the ground, sean. sean: no doubt one of the journals were shot in the back

to others who were shot and hit their vesta they did not get hurt at all. dagen, when i look at this i what look at what zelensky has done he's armed his citizens with guns. but every then citizen appears to be may be a soldier if you are russia. is this a kind of response russia is going to give any kind of sibling to come to any checkpoint you're going to shoot at them? is at a consequence of that policy? >> potentially, benjamin hall referred to grozny and chechnya, there were no rules of engagement or warfare that vladimir putin then followed in that city. grozny was to rumble it was destroyed city on earth. this does speak to vladimir putin is desperate for the world not to see what he is doing inside ukraine. and these journalists and to alecia's point, these crews from

news outlets around the world are incredibly brave to be there. not only in these pictures helping people who are trying to flee get out of the country even get out of kyiv but get into poland for example. they are incredibly brave to keep their cameras rolling and send these images, these atrocities how terror is raining down on the ukrainians to the rest of the world because that keeps the west and the world united against vladimir putin. latimer putin has achieved a near total control of information within russia where the people watching tv do not even believe there is a war going on in ukraine. remember it russia passed a law that threaten prison time for any news outlet that does not report on this war and the way that putin once it. you've had news teams shut down and russia. he is used to being able to

control the information flow. not here and not now, not ever if our news teams have anything to do with it. >> and to dagen's appoints, you fought on the ground to great personal sacrifice is all fox viewers know of you. i'm going to ask you the information was vacant was referencing a tapping on social media and global news networks. how important is the information war to get a leg up for either russia or for ukraine? joey: i know it means to be shot at i'd rather walk in on a bomb any day you have control over that. bullets coming at you you have no control of that my hats off to those people and people like benjamin hall whose just on here with us in kyiv who knows what is in store for him. we hope all journalist there and stay safe. but what they are doing is so important. because if anyone in russia or anyone in this world is going to clear view of what is happening is going to be because of their efforts. i think even americans here at home deserve that as our

government weighs the idea and options of involving itself in this war. we have to see the story. we have to see it firsthand not to solicit politicians easily people bring it to us. >> alicia i want to go to you quickly on this i think are learned from being in congress sometimes the information is always what it seems i do know into question sky news they did not go check the ideas of the people shooting at them they said it's russia but we really don't know if it was russia or if it was ukraine shooting at them is that fair to say? i hate to pigeonhole me really don't know who it was and they admitted that. alicia: is here and from one of our teams in ukraine i heard about before i saw the video couple days before is my understanding that it could have been ukrainians it was kind of a big hoops they didn't realize who they are shooting at so you are correct we don't know for sure how intentional this was. we just know how dangerous it was. >> how horrific it is to watch you pull it up on fox news two

[inaudible] [inaudible]

[inaudible] [inaudible] dagen: this all appears a part of putin's plan to work but nice nuclear reactors as part of his strategy to take over ukraine. joey, to first on this. there is just one training center or building that caught fire. the attack was not on the actual reactor themselves. what you make of that? >> just to take a step back here, nuclear power plant is a big sprawling facility there's a lot of things going on there not just the reactors this is the largest in europe it has six reactors. only two of which were online, to her off-line already one was down for maintenance. and so all of this is to say the way these things are built, a rocket from the outside hitting

the side of one of these reactor tubes is not going to blow it up or because of they are not built that way. most of what is underground and under concrete. but what is a threat what is a safety threat we need to separate fact from fiction and zelensky did not help us out with his comments on this i don't know if that was on purpose or not, they are what we called cooling ponds and dry storage on the same facility of nuclear material has been used as much as it can for power but is still radioactive. the pumphouse got destroyed in those ponds are drained or the dry containment got cracked open then you have spillage or radiation nothing that happened in chernobyl but it would be an unsafe environment at that point. the most dangerous thing that happened was that the workers at the powerpoint were not communicated with the russians took it over to begin with. and then you have a problem thereto where unit a certain type of engineer because of a problem that happens in everyday

life of operating these you can't get ahold of them because you're basically held hostage. that's a safety concern there was here but we say it weapon weapon icing a nuclear power but as we mean he is going to use the power that plant produces and hold it hostage. you can cut it off, cut it down. the biggest concern is simply their ability to operate the plant regularly. that is what they need to be able to do the latest report was there starting to have shifted changes. they are starting to allow them to often operate at this point as they should. dagen: there is a statement, alicia put out by that agency not that long ago. the director general of the iaea makes some statements. he said it's a tense situation between the russian forces controlling this nuclear power site and that ukrainian personnel operating that it must not last too long. this is still a precarious situation to joey's point. alicia: it absolutely is it even

their statement is far as they can tell things are relatively okay. that is cool comfort when you're dealing with a person and a president like vladimir putin who it feels like to the world he's walking into the world, holding a grenade, holding the pen and threatening basically to pull it. so it really begs the question you're talking to benjamin about, what will it take? or is this something that would threaten especially the eu in terms of proximity, to become even more involved, even more aggressive. there is nothing good about any of this is scary all the way around. dagen: wright, sean, six of the nine reactors that make up these are currently in operation. i think back to japan and what caused the core meltdown and that nuclear disaster was the flooding that cut off the generators. and you needed the generators to the power was cut off you needed the generators to keep operating

to cool the reactors. when that was cut off you had a nuclear catastrophe. so there is a guest on earlier, jim wahlstrom and it security program said to the know what they are doing? again even an accident by potenza military could still cause a nuclear disaster. >> writes. the offside power that comes to the powerpoint to cool off the reactors if you blow up those off-site capabilities, you go to a backup generator which is not very safe you can have a nuclear meltdown we saw the with what you just mention it is cataclysmic. by the way it's really odd because russia is downwind from the plant's very own people are downwind of a get the radiation from this plants. we look at what putin is doing, when the firefighters came to put out the flames, the russians are to shoot at the firefighters they could not put out the flames of this raging fire.

he wants to take out lights, phones, computers, water he went heat in a very cold winter that is his game plan here. and i don't think he cares what kind of a wrecking ball he takes. what kind of threats he makes of the world again with this attacks on the nuclear power plant it's kind of deranged in his behavior. >> coming up, ukrainians are fleeing the war zone. we take you there live to lviv were refugees are trying to go, next. wrap their arms around us, could we put little handles on our jackets? -denied. -can you imagine? i want a new nickname. can you guys start calling me snake? no, bryan. -denied. -how about we all get quotes to see if we can save with america's number one motorcycle insurer? approved. cool! hey, if bryan's not gonna be snake, can i be snake? -all: no.

zelensky met with united states senators hours ago pleading with them for increased military aid. zelensky calling out president biden saying biden sentients russian earlier there'd be no war. mike tobin's live in lviv ukraine, mike what have you got for us? >> , i can tell you this is a train that runs in the capitol city of kyiv adhere to lviv's become a lifeline for a number of just the people living in kyiv people a lot of people make in the way to the capitol city some going on foot where they can get to the train station there in that combat zone and make their way pretty do not need a ticket. the trains do not leave unscheduled people just get on board with the passenger cars are filled the train comes out here to lviv. the problem is there's only four trains a date leaving for the polish border therefore people are piling up. one city councilmember said there is not enough space to house people there's not enough food to feed them. there is however a piano. one of the refugees tried to bring some comfort to the other

people fleeing for their safety. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ it is just about 1.4 million estimated by the unhcr the number of refugees who have crossed the border. it is expected to reach as high as 5 million before this is all over. the backup of cars at the board at one point was about 30 miles last checked it was down to about 10 miles you still have people abandoning their cars and going on foot. they're crossing at the board and there can take as long as 24 hours and it's cold every night here guys. >> michael, we report on different cities have been shelled and attacked by russian troops they seem to be now all over the country is there a russian military presence in lviv? >> there's not a russian military presence in lviv. you see some of the ukrainian forces take up position pretty see some people on guard you see

some roadblocks. but as far as the military activity, the air raid sirens go off just about every night here a couple of targets have been hit to the north and south of the country. those awls military activity at an airstrip to the east of here. in which it appeared at least according to the mayor of lviv, the russians attempted to insert paratroopers they were repelled by local fighters. there is also the possibility the russians came in, they did but they wanted to do, cut back on the helicopters and left. alicia: hey mike it is alicia. we see these evacuations get interrupted by shelley and then folks get turned around. i am just curious they cannot get to where they are to go to escape. can they turn around? and if they do word and they go? we have seen these images being sent to us from you guys, all the teams in ukraine of people hiding under bridges part i am just wondering do they find cover anywhere they can?

looks well the short answer is yes pretty hiding under the bridge was in the town of urban people thought they had a chance to make a break for it today and as they were coming out they were getting some help as they were coming out the shelling started and they hid under the bridge incidentally that bridge was not blown up it was bloated by the ukrainians to prevent the russians from getting in. your talking about mariupol to the southeast they're supposed to be a cease-fire to provide humanitarian core door for that cease-fire was supposed to start at 9:00 a.m. local time. they gave it a little while to see if it would stick but before these poor people could get out of their houses and start making a break for the shelling started up again and they were told they had to get back into the shelters. sean: we had eight member between zelensky and house members zelensky asked for a no-fly zone seems like that's going to be a no go. but curious he said if not that, send me planes so my ukrainian pilots can fly them i assume it's a drone and drone missiles

are you picking up anything on your end whether he is going to get planes and/or more drones? >> it is up in the air now if he's going to get some of the planes from poland or other eu countries. he certainly wants them the nato countries are not going to enforcing a no-fly zone you have a no-fly zone have to enforce it yet to be enforcing and making contact with the russian pilots of east versus west. >> spit i will note poland can send those planes mags and they like older jets and aircraft into ukraine has rescinded its offer. but the united states does not hold those up for there was a lawmaker on earlier who was with tony blinken and said poland

just what it replacement aircraft from the united states before it would give up those megs and the like for ukraine. there still a possibility that aircraft goes into ukraine. in terms of the humanitarian crisis, based on your reporting on the ground is there plentiful food are there plenty of necessities for the people in the interior of the country what is that like for the ukrainian people? you're in the west is not that bad people can get food there's a disruption of life in the western part of the country. when you're talking about cities like kharkiv and mariupol they do not have water, they don't have heat they do not have electricity. a lot of civilian structures have been hit frankly we cannot give you totals of how many because there's too much chaos they do not have the basic necessities of life.

access to medicine would be a luxury these people just do not have right now as they are constantly under fire. and constantly under fire partially because russians do not have control of these towns there's nothing close to settle the combat is not letting up and it certainly won't until there's some kind of resolution. joey: might, thanks for the update stay safe out there will come back to you tomorrow. next attacks ukraine intensify gas prices here at home jumped 10 cents and one nights. prices at the pump continues to rise as a biden administration still refusing to be on the import of russian oil. so what is the plan? more when "the big saturday show" returns.

quotes are back with a fox news article alicia's attacks on ukraine the price of gas turbine 10 cents overnight approaching $4 a gallon. this momentum in congress to ban imports of russian oil beat the biden administration refuses big. >> we are looking at options we could take a right not to cut u.s. consumption of russian energy but we are very focused on minimizing the impact to families. if you reduce supply in the global marketplace, you're going to raise gas prices. you're going to -- raise the price of oil.

>> so she finally admits when you cut supply, prices increase for you cut american supply, prices go up you are the joe biden interpreter. i listed the state of the evening you did too, he said we are going to buy american. but now is saying i want to bite russian oil over texas oil. what does that mean i don't get it? >> you're not supposed to get it because it does not make any sense. the energy policy from day one is not made any sense. we have a plentiful fuel here in the united states it is great for the american economy. it takes power and riches away from tyrants like vladimir putin that hate us. and so why did vladimir putin go into ukraine? because he was richer than he was a year ago because oil prices had already skyrocketed before the russian invasion of ukraine. and some of that was because of

u.s. policy. we need to produce as much oil as possible here in the united states. even elon musk the founder of the big electric car company here in the united states is saying that very thing. we need to increase oil and gas output immediately. we need to react instantaneously to make up for russian oil and gas imports. by the way, the refiners here and energy companies in the united states have already begun to stop buying russian oil. that is happening really around the globe. so the private sector and the energy business is doing what they bided it ministration won't do because they do not want it as a pr campaign. they do not want to own the fact that starting monday we're going to see record height diesel prices in the united states. in a few days after that were going to see record high retail gasoline prices. we need to produce more here, and if biden was a real leader who would stand in front of the

american people and say we also need to try to conserve what we are using in terms of fossil fuel. the only way you stop putin is a driving down the price. take his oil off the market which as a world is almost impossible to do. driving down the price. that means producing more and using less. that is the message you will hear from a real leader if we had one. sean: but alicia, to that point joe biden has a political problem with getting russian oil what does next step? he wants to go to iran who chant death with america to cut a deal to get iranian oil that does not make any sense. alicia: know is going to the grocery store to buy flowers have a rosebush in your backyard it does not make that much sense. there's also a big question here over whether or not the united states is reluctant to pressure european allies. european countries are much bigger customers of russian energy than the united states.

they lead to the way think that that were cutting off russian oil were to separate germany? where to support other european countries who are in a much precarious situation when it comes to energy. >> here's my take if joe biden cuts off russian oil, that is going to skyrocket prices in america pretty can't have that happen there will be political pressure to roll back the green new deal policies. he will have to the keystone pipeline give us leases on land. they're all things he will have to have prices rise. he doesn't want that's we want to keep taking russian oil in my wrong on that? >> you know you are not wrong. i want to get into numbers real quick here i'm short on time. when jen psaki are operative say there's 9000 permits that are not being used, what they are not telling you is there's a different permit every time you drill. if you understand how fracking happens you drill multiple times before you establish a well or

pump. so that permit should be approved by law within 30 days of sitting on desks at first 60 days, 90 days, a year. it is not just specifically our administration stopping permits or stopping pipeline at the entire attitude of the administration towards oil and natural gas that stops capitol investors that come in and paying for drilling. those drilling permits were approved on the leases that exist have capitol raised to do it is not just shell and marathon, as to have the permits. we have six permits they could approve tomorrow i believe it's a doe for liquid natural gas export terminals in this countries four of which already have facilities built and waiting. that is the ability to double and sometimes triple the export of liquid natural gas overnight for the pipelines are there, the gases that are producing new terminals to pull it out of the pipeline put in a ship send it

to america south america would not either. we could saturate russia out of the market with what we have in front of us. those permit she quotes matt is bs that's only half the story. >> that 9000 leases that do something they borrowed from the obama administration because they always try to turn it back on the evil oil and gas. but just one quick thing, sean. only 3% of the oil we import in the united states comes from russia. we have the ability to supplement that oil here in the united states. i think the biden administration is just trying to avoid owning the fact energy prices have already skyrocketed. they were up dramatically before the russian invasion of ukraine. by the way, europe knows the vice grip that putin has. they are trying to do something about me while the biden

administration does not know what to say other than to blame oil and gas for everything imaginable. >> dagen you're the policy is really long when elon musk comes to your points as we got to drill baby drill. at cap next, a w nba star detained in rushing with her told to leave the country immediately. she faces jail time. ♪ (sighs wearily) here i'll take that!

alert, wnba player brittney griner dictated russia facing potential present time. she was arrested at a moscow airport february on drug smuggling charges after cartridges were found in her luggage. there isn't anything putin won't do. >> that's true and as you are pointing out, this happened in february. the united states told americans to get out of russia and i think this serves as a clear warning that americans should not be in russia and it not clear if it's a plant or cheated have cannabis oil on her but what can the u.s. do to get her out of russia at this time? >> what does the state department do when russia is at war with ukraine? >> i don't think we have a lot of friends in russia right now

to help us get her out but maybe the lesson for me would say don't do drugs or have drugs when in russia looking for any excuse to detain americans especially high-profile like this. i'm not sure if this was pointed on her, i feel bad because the sentence is five to ten years, he made it sound like she had pounds of marijuana on her, it's a political move. they should be coming home. >> what you think, is this putin's way of dangling an american in front of the war and daring us to do something more? >> absolutely, a small amount of drugs ten years in prison, obviously that's putin. i don't think vladimir putin cares much about a small amount of marijuana as the opportunity to have leverage of the united states going back to the last

segment, the place we could have leverage choosing not to have it meanwhile russia using every leverage they possibly can including an innocent american citizen who happened to be in the wrong country at the wrong time. >> we should say could talk about this, she spent thing there several years, nba players make a lot of money playing in the off-season. >> you are reading my mind. many female professional basketball players here in the united states they actually have to play year-round. they play 12 months of the year because they don't make that much money to play basketball. it would shock you what some female professional basketball players making united states they are forced to play overseas for a season and come back and play another season here and that's what brittney has been doing. >> will continue to watch that and hope for the best to get her
