[background noises] [background noises] [background noises] eric: sadly there continues to be no let up in brutal invasion of ukraine but russia continues to target civilian sites like

apartment buildings, schools and hospitals. ukrainian officials say it is a strategy deserve to break their will. putin is being branded across the globe as a war criminal a murderous man who is committing crimes against humanity, ukraine, says he will not succeed. hello everyone welcome to to "fox news live" i am eric shawn. arthel: hello everyone. his day 24 of this war ukrainian resistance outgunned but bravely managing to hold the russian advance meanwhile zelenskyy once again calling for pollutant to meet with him and a warning failure to do so will cost russia and the long run. >> i want everyone to hear, especially in moscow, the time has come to restore territorial integrity and justice for ukraine. otherwise russia's cost will be so high you will not be able to

rise again for several generations. arthel: but putin seems to be no mood to talk yesterday he appeared -- there is that he appeared at a massive rally in moscow where he praised the russian military we have reporters across the region from the war zone to countries facing europe's fastest-growing refugee crisis since world war ii were going to start with mike tobin he is life in a refugee crossroads of lviv and western ukraine. >> new satellite shows before and after pictures of that theater in mariupol that was used as a bomb shelter. the next regional drama theater and had more than 1000 people staying in it. the word children or kid was spelled out in a russi and big white letters sprayed the image after the strike clearly shows the center of the theater is destroyed. a day after the strike was a commissioner for human rights

said that 130 people have been freed from the basement of this drama theater. then later we heard a local politician as well, he said the rescuers were driven away by the fighting they could not get back to the area of the theme or theater. yesterday and today we have no additional information about survivors or people who may be trapped inside the rubble of that theater. russian forces have now been spotted deeper into the city of mariupol. the key city if it falls it gives russians control of the coast and the sea and it gives them control of the land coming up from crimea. civilians in mariupol made a parable terrible price for that. humanitarian corridors have been set up on a number of occasions but they keep falling apart under russian fire. today he made certain quarters were set up from mariupol although up to the capitol city of kyiv. what we are hearing from people who may be escaped is that the

humanitarian core doors, they existed. the convoys went on the road but the cease-fire did not hold in place. but the people are so desperate to get out particularly from mariupol they made the trip anyway. arthel: and mike, what are you hearing about russian supply line? >> you know, we just got some new information. this is coming from alexander who is the chairman of ukrainian railways. he says the russians will no longer be able to resupply from belarus because that railway has been cut off. and then he really did not offer any more details as to how it was cut off. but the resupply of course from belarus is going to be a key element coming down to the capitol city of kyiv. >> yes those russian forces continued moving west they are increasing the airstrikes getting close to lviv now what

are you hearing on the ground? >> what you see from the airstrikes here in the west as they are primarily military targets that airstrips, they've hit a place that would retrofit and for the ukrainians could use them, multi national base very near the polish border, they've hit those kind of things exception would be the television tower they had that seems to have more of a civilian application. you do not see the tremendous damage you see in the east as far as ground forces being able to come this way, the regional administrator who most any conversation with the other day thanks the russian forces are just too occupied it what they are doing to the east of here to start doing in this direction anytime soon, arthel. arthel: occupied perhaps to un- organize? >> quite possibly. they certainly have their hands full. afterward they have tried to make a big offensive again they seem to get bogged down part still have not been able to encircle the capitol city.

they may be making some ground in mariupol right now but they cannot get into kharkiv. everywhere they go there seeing a much bigger fight than they intended. arthel: mike tobin live from lviv thank you stay safe. eric: nearly four years of this war 3 million people now fled ukraine for neighboring countries. most of them and seeking refuge from poland fox news had the opportunity to speak to the wife of the ukrainian nuclear plant worker she is sheltering in poland while her husband she says is continuing to work and hostage like conditions in ukraine at the nuclear reactor. as in southeast poland with more on this remarkable story. >> yes, hey there eric. it is incredible really her name is katerina we found her in hiding in a shelter in poland and she tells me she is not held

her husband, seen him physically at about three weeks because he chose to stay behind to protect not only ukraine but the rest of europe. now her husband, whose name i will not be disclosing because we are trying to keep them protected, he supervises the department in charge of cooling the nuclear reactors at the power plant in southeast ukraine. the biggest power plant in the entire country. now katerina fled with her children just days before the russians attacked this land she was watching along with the rest of the world as the russians fired rockets at the compound while her husband, eric was still inside. >> it was the most terrible night of my life. it would be a huge tragedy for europe and not just for our city. if something happens or even poland would not be able to save its people. >> katerina says that russian soldiers are walking around the plants right now with guns. but she says her husband is safe

it. she tries to talk to him as often as she can. the international atomic energy agency though is gravely concerned about ukrainian staff being unable to make decisions without russian influence, russian pressure and talks are underway right now to try to figure out a way to make sure these nuclear sites remain protected and safe throughout this conflict, this war. eric. eric: without giving away any sensitive information she may have did she indicate her set husband sense of safety with the plants and if the ukrainian staff can keep it operating safely? >> yes, i did ask her point blankly if her husband is safe. if he has been physically harmed her she tells me he has not been harmed by the russian troops there. she says the majority of staff there chose to stay because they felt that they did not stay than

the russians would bring in their own scientists, their own engineers and they just did not feel comfortable leaving that power plant in those hands. they wanted to make sure it was properly secure. that it would not lead to a nuclear disaster. so instead of fleeing with their families they have told their families to run and they stay. they stayed behind it they are truly the heroes and the star because now their family has been separated. she is sitting in poland watching the war go on. hurt their children miss their father dearly and yet they have no idea when they will be able to see him again. because as long as this war is continuing they can't go back home. and their father can't leave either. eric: that's just astounding. finally, what is the sense you received from her about what could happen here? she has her husband operating a nuclear power plants. is able to talk with him which is a terrific thing. what is her sense of the future?

>> well, she is very optimistic as ukrainians are. we have seen over and over again every time we interview a ukrainian refugee they are very hopeful they'll be able to go more home and they do feel they will be able to defeat the russians. as long as this continues, obviously the russians not taken the capitol yet really not taken any city yet except the two nuclear power plants. they do feel a sense of resolve that they can perhaps defeat russia and be able to go back home one day. when that might happen they do not know it's a very, very difficult she was sobbing to the entire interview it was very difficult and talking with our got to meet one of her sons as well who asks her constantly, mount mom when can we go home? when can i see dad again? why are we home right now? why am i living in the shelter? why am i going to this to school?

it's a very, very tough situation for these families they don't have answers for these children. they don't have an answer as to when they are able to go back home and then on top of that, eric, what their home might even look like. in some of the cities there's nothing left it starting to look like a wasteland. it's a really, really difficult situation for the families and you think about katerina and what her husband and the rest of those employees that are stuck there in the nuclear power plant, what they are doing, what are the they are sacrificing that's a story we all need to pay attention too. this is a heartbreaking horror caused by vladimir putin. i sure thank you. arthel. arthel: are aisha and eric think you were going to bring in jamil he is the founder executive director of the national security institute and former associate white house counsel to george w bush so listen, the

longer ukrainian forces hold back russian forces, the more frustrated putin becomes which leads to more indiscriminate or reckless use of firepower. committing war crimes, more war crimes and displacing people like you just saw an aisha's report katerina there and her family. is it time for the u.s. and nato to change their strategy? >> you know arthel i really think it is. general alexander the former army four-star and i wrote an op-ed this past week it's at now time to impose a no-fly zone over ukraine in order to help protect civilians, in order to bring the fight to a close more rapidly? right now vladimir boudin has no incentive to negotiate he can run the clock out keep pounding the ukrainian people keep hitting civilian target schools, hospitals over 3 million displaced as eric pointed out. it is aisha pointed out 1.5 million children based on units of count for this is a real humanitarian tragedy. it's also a huge strategic loss

because we are seeing a huge fight in the middle of europe and we are allowing a brutal dictator to come across the border, invade another sovereign country and face no consequences whatsoever other than what the brady critics have done to him. if i've he's acting like a terrorist so what should the u.s. and nato do? how should they change their strategy? >> one, arthel, with got to provide a lot more weapons to the conflict. that's the right thing to do but cannot happen fast enough. we need to bring conflict resolution soon are the only way to do that is for the u.s. to get involved but we do not into actually attack russian aircraft if we impose a no-fly zone we simply need to tell them you stop flying if you'd like to step on your radar you attack us will fire back if you don't fight will stay in place in ensure a safe withdrawal from russia out of ukraine. arthel: that the negotiation you are supporting the pollutant? >> look at some point we have got to get militarily involved.

putin has to know there is something behind our words we keep talking about what a catastrophe this is what disaster it is there's nothing behind that and is not afraid of it. the reality is economic sanctions have not worked. the situation is getting worse not better for the ukrainian people. it's time during the confit to a close. arthel: the economic sanctions are working but time is of the essence. listen, putin tell this rally promoting propaganda, claiming his war on ukraine as a defensive measure. a special military operation. and then he mentions the fifth column which as you know referred to that sympathize with the enemy. how does this reflect on putin state of mind? he realized that home heats under pressure ruining a lot of lives without purge of intel services as a number of key

leaders inside the service he's got pressure at home but what is that made for him abroad? what is it made from ukraine? he can lash out to sure wins on the battlefield that is why it's so important to get involved now. he does not believe the u.s. and allies are serious. he sees economic sanctions he's not worried about it. not nearly as fast as you correctly pointed out. >> solis it would putin start and pick up nuclear threats, should they be ignored or could he get that desperate or determined? >> look there's always a possibility, arthel, gets that desperate for the fact of the matter is other than the united states in the end of world war ii buried the reason why is nuclear states don't want to go to war with one another because they're afraid of the retaliation. but her food knows it uses

chemical weapons, biological weapons or nuclear weapons is crossing a major line but as a result of a likely scenario is if we are able to go and protect will bring a quicker resolution not to a nuclear war. here's a thank vladimir putin is not looking for war with the united states. neither are we. he is long to resolve this if we make clear the military surge of backup the ukrainians. >> are right, jamil jaffer thank you as always we'll see you again next time. take care. >> from russia to china president biden spent about two hours on the phone warning china's president there will be consequences as beijing shows consequences for the result. beijing and moscow, the consequences of that and what it means for us, next with gordon chang.

the president is working from his beach home in delaware this weekend. that is where we are going to find mark meredith pretty standing live in delaware with the latest from there, hi mark. >> good afternoon. the white house does not say exactly what the consequences would be of china were to assist russia with this invasion. however officials with the white house a the consequence discussion was a big part of the call. just yesterday with president biden chinese president xi jinping officials calling this meeting between the two of them as eric mentioned lasted nearly two hours, both direct and substantive. rex also conveyed and described the implications and consequences of china's provides material support to russia. but again i'm not going to provide any additional from here. >> china, no doubt has already played a role in this crisis. intelligence experts believe china after russia to deliver its military invasion until after the beijing winter games very china's relationship of russia has certainly gotten

closer in recent years. the chinese put out their own readout of the call saying they don't see the situation escalate. writing president xi shared the view china and u.s. research should respect each other, coexist in peace. and i looked at all levels in all fields. china's behavior is a huge part of the present agenda next week it's going to be heading to the nato headquarters in brussels a spigot they to alice defense secretary lloyd austin is wrapping up a trip to eastern europe where he spoke to cnn said china's actions going forward may also be crucial to ever ending this conflict. >> i would hope china would not support this despicable act by putin. but they would recognize a need to respect sovereign territory.

>> the white house is warning china we know these weapon shipments continue to go in these massive weapons shipments every thing from jablon missiles to bullets to body armor and helmets for the white house as though shipments continue ease and as we see the russians more and lost three days or want to start targeting the shipments, arthel. arthel: mark meredith alive at the president in delaware, thank you mark, eric. eric: well, putin and president xi two peas in a pod to me against ukraine and the u.s. crimes against humanity. quezon institute senior fellow of the author of the great china tech war. so, gordon why she cast her a lot putin? >> because xi jinping believes united states is an animated existential struggle. i can't survive as long as you nice it says goodbye to people

in china and elsewhere. oberg particular tactics are one particular matter. this is a fundamental struggle. >> how is china helping vladimir putin? >> first bullets enhance financial support the commodity purchases. so giving sanction russian entities. they are now and the service of russia and it is important, china's propaganda machine is amplifying these ludicrous russian narratives. so you put that altogether it shows xi jinping is fully behind what rush is doing. and if vladimir putin is a war criminal or promise president biden's said, well then it xi jinping is a war criminal because both of them are working together. eric: this reports that rush is helping the russian military targets chinese drones, have you

heard about this that they are providing military assistance from afar to russia to kill ukrainians. >> yes there's open source reporting that china is provided russia with the intelligence that russia could used to kill ukrainian drone operators because these drone operators are using china made drone specifically made by dji that is a big company is the world's largest producer of drones. this is already provided valuable military information. it means all of his warnings from president biden because they've already done it but i think united states should be sanctioning china right now for what it has already done, eric. eric: speaking of sanctions, you know president xi has pushback on that present sock at the white house talk about that very issue of sanctions. >> we have a range of tools that could be considered in sanctions are certainly one tool in the toolbox. as they are for other countries as well.

a balancer and consequences we will communicate those directly to china. of course with our european partners and counterparts. >> do you think there will be sanctions what type of sanctions would you like to see? >> i like to see the same that we've imposed we'd like to see stricter sanctions on both of them. whether the biden administration what to do that or not, i am not exactly sure. but i did really good at issuing warnings were not good and following up when it comes to russia. certainly is not good at doing that with regard to china. i do hope the pressure from the american people will force biden to do what he have been doing weeks ago. eric: what would that be? sanctions? >> i think we need to freeze dollar accounts of chinese institutions. i think we need to start throwing chinese institutions off of swift.

as a whole bunch of other things we could be doing, and in cooperation with china on technical means it. all sorts of things. it's also spreading covid-19 beyond their borders, behind the fentanyl, stealing u.s. intellectual property. you name it at the comprehensive across united states free china is waging what they call unrestricted warfare against us. we are not defending ourselves. eric: they said they had relationship with no limits. gordon chang from the institute says both vladimir putin and xi jinping are war criminals. gordon thank you very. >> thank you eric. arthel: okay gordon thank you britt eric, defense secretary the demonstrators waving bulgarian and russian flags. apparently opposing any military assistance for ukraine. the pentagon chief met with the

country's prime minister to discuss the ongoing war. bulgaria says it will continue to accept ukrainian refugees as well a senate medical aid, eric. eric: there also purchased your home calling on corporations from nestlé to pull out of russia, take a look at we found this morning here in new york. here a lone man holding a demonstration outside of an espresso coffee shop on madison avenue. that companies is owned by it nestlé will have new images of ukraine and our coverage of pollutants military campaign against that country continues. plus, the fed raising interest rates for the first time in three years to try and rein in inflation. what it will mean for our wallets? straightahead is fox news lies continues on this saturday.

eric: vladimir putin's barbaric assault on ukraine and the ukrainian people are now approaches the nearly one month mark. and through it all chilling video and pictures continue to flow from the war zone and have shed light on the horrors of his invasion. for the massive destruction to gut wrenching images of victims both young and old to the millions who have been forced to flee their homes because of this one man. since the latest video out of ukraine today, hi nay. >> hey eric. it is disturbing to see these images. we are going to start and a school in mariupol that has become a shelter. hundreds of people lining up the target for the russians. if we can pull up this video i can show the school where fighting is happening on the streets. these people are just looking for any safe place that they can stay, 9000 people in the past day according to president vladimir zelenskyy have left the city. this as they are living without

food, the living without power, the russians have targeted the maternity hospital there. and of course the theater on wednesday that was bombed also being used as a shelter. let's show you some new satellite images of just coming in today. this is the after satellite image of that theater in mariupol. this is they before you see the red roof before the russians bombed it. ukrainian staying there, painted the word children on the outside for the russians bombed it anywhere. ukrainian officials say 130 people survived that, another 1300 are believed to be inside. the search for survivors is difficult because of the fighting that is happening in the street it's not really going well for the ukrainians. russian defense officials the quote here they say they are tightening the noose around the city. it strategic for russia for many reasons. this break here this third video

is from john for a man got trapped after missile straight takeout look at the moment after all this work they saved his life. >> thank you so much. >> is thanking his rescuers, smoked a cigarette he is walking out of this eventually walks inside, he gets treated for minor cuts that you see some blood on his face there. otherwise he was okay. one person was killed in that attack, several others were injured. here's a doctor in ukraine talking about the civilian casualties and injuries that he has seen. >> this war should be stopped. because there is no meaning of the war. because this war not against policies, not against governments, this is more

against civilian people ukrainian people. >> the suffering continues the w.h.o. chief singly do not have the access they need to help people in places like mariupol and other cities as well, back to you. >> it is so heartbreaking. the spirit of the ukrainian people outstanding, nay thank you. arthel. arthel: it really was amazing nay thank you for the federal reserve so they will raise interest rates for the first time in three years. wednesday's announcement coming as they struggle from the coveted pandemic in the impact of the war in ukraine has red-hot inflation sends food and gas prices through the roof. let's bring in john's associate director for the wall street journal and fox news contributor. sir john com about the interest rate hike, why now? who will feel the impact for better or worse? >> the interest rate increases the fed's way of dealing with

inflation. the inflation as a result of a bigger red-hot economy. r8 recovered already robust growing economy with the big consumer demand out there. lots of pent up spending from the pandemic months the consumer out there buying cars, buying houses and buy lots of other things. it is a red-hot economy and incredibly low unemployment rate, 3.8%. which is a tight labor market. labor is being paid for which is a good thing for their work. but that flows through to inflation. the fed does not want to get out of control let's raise interest rates a quarter of a point. the fed uses it to slow down the economy to try to constrain rapid growth like we are seeing and try to slow inflation. arthel this is first of several we will see this year. somewhere on the order six more. arthel: holland may want to get back to that part hold on said

the economy is not struggling this is the economy continues to struggle. so which one is that? >> it is not struggling. they grew over 5% last year. and it is continuing to grow robustly. it is not struggling but inflation is they are happens and there's a rapid economic growth and like all the things you been talking about supply chain disruptions because of covid. now you've got supply chain disruption because of putin's war on western democracy. he starting with ukraine. that is going to complicate things further, arthel because between ukraine and russia the two countries account for 30% of the worlds wheat exports. we cuss into everything. it accounts for 25% of the worlds of fertilizer exports. fertilizers used by farmers to grow all sorts of products. those prices are already going up.

eventually that inflation of commodity prices because of putin's war in ukraine is going to play through to consumers in the united states. arthel: thank you for the correction the economy is doing well. but we do know, we will acknowledge their people out there who are not feeling this great economy the effects of it and a triple down positive effects of it. there are people out there struggling we will acknowledge that. so back to what you're talking about the interest rate hikes. want to pull up a graphic now please think it will compare the federal reserve benchmark interest rates looking at specifically john and i want to look at 2019 -- 2020. the benchmark was just above 2.5%. of course then they came the pandemic as you said and they shut down pretty benchmark flatlined. and yes there will be more interest rate hikes down the road. do you think another variant helps could change that plans?

>> it can very easily do so. if you do things easier than people think. the benchmark, the rates got dropped because the feds thought oh my gosh, we've had to lock down the economy there is a pandemic. we had to make it easy jabbar's people seemed like the economy got by cars and houses that's why interest rates dropped. never going up because inflation needs to be curtailed. you see covid spreading in china that's two things very unhappy for hospitalizations in china. that's going to disrupt supply chain again which is going to cause inflation just sort of work its way through the pipeline. you are seeing cases sale of the new omicron variant in the united states entirely possible because we have dropped percussion josie case rates go up in the u.s. as well which is going to do the same thing. >> a point that out everyone is tired of what seems to be -- it could be perceived as wishy-washy decisions we have to have some flexibility with this

virus that is still out there and the variant still out there. perhaps coming -- it is not over. no matter what you think is just not over that is the problem. >> we have to be flushable. either tell may have to go i always appreciate talking to you. you have a good day take care. eric: thank you for the new concerns on the safety back to cabell star brittney griner after rush has extended her detention for that after rest at the airport last month of some drug charges. what will they do with her and ken should be in a situation where she's being held hostage? we will take a look straight ahead. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to low. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it.
