many find themselves well to part. we choose to look for common ground in the president fujen ukraine soldiers to take power in the country and protect civilian lives that the western powers condemn what they call out. invasion officials in africa, public playing when you're finding all we shall, was a local school killing to teachers. rushers, defense ministry accuses ukraine's. army allegedly committing a war crime by placing rocket launchers in residential areas. i appeal to you, premium citizen shares your nationalist leadership uses the same methods this year, but they want to using with russia. so call a special ed transportation and ukraine who place it amos,

the perfect that people of don't last continued for a 2nd day as russian troops move across the country. whose blood from moscow? thanks for joining us on our international this evening on. daniel hawkins. wherever you are this hour, welcome to the program. now president fujen has said he's ready to send a delegation to bella ruth to negotiate with the ukranian government that saw the president brought me as a rescue off of a talk. according to the covenant, ukraine responded with a counter offer for a meeting in the polish capital. warsaw. so far, no decision has been reached off today to brush as minute feel. peroration fusion is also addressed. ukrainian soldiers directly urging them to take power in their country. you should, i should be in a solution, voters room assume i once again appeal to the military personnel of the own forces of ukraine. do not allow neo nazis to use your children, wives,

and the elderly. as human shields take power into your own hands. it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement. i guess we cannot underestimate the significance of these latest commons by the russian president and the tone, the toughness of mister pruden, that's something we've not seen before. when he was referring to the government in care of, i would like to stress once again, but be very precise. he called the officials in charge of the ukraine, a gang of drug addicts, and vio nazis. and that is a very serious thing. plus like you've heard just before, he called on the ukranian serviceman to take power and become in charge of the country. and i would assume that this is something, this is pure speculation, but still this is something that could lead to possibly a different group of people representing ukraine to head,

to men's or war. so or somewhere else where potential talks between the 2 sides, that could happen. so this could be what the kremlin is expecting. now i do have to remind you that there are political forces in ukraine, including the opposition and the parliament that are a pro russian that have always been supported by the population in the countries east. and now they have close ties with the russian government. indeed, whether mister putin was hinting at these people at this time, we don't know, but possibly we may find out in the near future. i'd like to go back to the proposal by vala dimmer, zalinski that he made a couple of hours ago. he is in a situation where i believe he's desperate to start is direct talks with latimer, pope. and also i'd like to point out that this was a complete change in tone compared to what mr. zalinski was saying about 2 days

ago when the 1st stages of the russian military operation were unraveling. back then he was saying that the cranium army needs to stay put and victory for ukraine is inevitable. now he's desperate to have these talks that you should have it. i would like to address the president of the russian federation. once again, there are battles going on all over ukraine. let's sit down at the negotiating table to stop the killing. well, we are currently seeing a man who is much more nervous, but mister zalinski, according to the kremlin, is being hot and cold. because, according to dmitri past gov, after suggesting that the location for the talks be changed to warsaw, apparently there were no more messages or attempts to get in touch with kremlin from key of the russian defense ministry claims ukraine is using his population as

human shields. apparently on the rex instructions of us, it was so they gave him everyone i had to gone in the rainy and military leadership, how to place rocket artillery systems in residential area to promote return fire against local revenue by the resume of residential areas. they covered the firing positions of its artillery as your crime. why you produce this handwriting is familiar. techniques are actively used by terrorist supervised by the c i a in the middle east and other countries. i appeal to ukrainian citizen, i'm going to share your nationalist leadership, uses the same method this year and they want to use us human. she of is that the russian armed forces will not strike residential areas of the ukrainian capital. well, the ministry spokesman also claims your finance, committing a war crime by firing off salary from inside residential areas, but that the russian military will not be drawn into publications with similar tactics. apparently have been used by ca,

backs medicines in the middle east. now ukraine sees the russian operation as an invasion and a violation of its sovereignty. western powers share that de one have introduced several rounds of sanctions against moscow. now, 2 teachers have been killed by craning. also strike on a school outside. don't ask, according to local officials or warning, you may find the following footage. distressing. it received these images showing the aftermath of the shelf fire. no children were in the building at the time. within one of the 2 don't mass republics, which russia recognized as independent earlier this week. while i'm going to can self residential areas have been heads according to locals, ukrainian shell landed in a parking lot damaging several vehicles shop wave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse with one civilian reportedly severely injured. ortiz roman causative reports from the dentist republic. as shelling continues here and, and as people's republican, we've been here and it's in miss censor of the city on the outskirts of the city.

and of course, said the news came from the city of al gore lapka earlier on friday, where 2 teachers were killed by shelling at a school. thankfully, the school was close and that will no word were no children present. he would you mission good. again, research, psychiatric, ag, another tragedy occurred in our town today. ukrainian force as shelter school. as a result, our colleagues, 2 of our teachers have died for 8 years. we have been leaving in fear that our loved ones may get hurt. die how colleagues may die. why is that? there is no answer. please give us. 2 of them will be hired last. he grant has been given us for 8 years now. he's left without parents. the deputy had teacher has a son, he's in 5th grade. he became an orphan. she didn't have a husband, he died. the geography teacher has a sick mother. no one knows what to do with her now. that's terrifying. when will

this be over? we're waiting for a police everyone who is doing it. just stop this terrible war. innocent people are dying to watch the deal. it's more my shelling of that city continues for 8 years already and this friday i was not any different. in addition to the 2 women who were killed by artillery fire, one person was a wounded car earlier on thursday. another 2 people were killed at a factory where they were working. and so all in all, over 2 days with all of the as many as well, people have been wounded now from the city of gall of coal, which is about an hour away from where i'm standing to arrive here to the city of done that square shilling hit will nearly the center of the city of about 2 kilometers away from where i'm standing. several, a civilian the facilities were, were here and unfortunately one person lost their life. it was

a woman who came under fire and an ambulance came to save her life. but unfortunately, she died on route to the hospital. now dennis kiss quite a large city and many of its outskirts are right there on the front line. were heavy artillery dual to continue. and many of the local residents, so were forced to hide in bomb shelters, were speaking of murray, opal, well, according to the representative of the people's militia here, edwardo, but sir and well, that city is currently encircled by as of battalion. it's a so called the territorial defense force which over many years the many have linked it with me on nazi affiliations and belief. well, they're saying here that there are members of this battalion. they're not letting people evacuate from murray, opal. we've been hearing a lot of artillery fire here in the center on friday. of course it's been a,

it's sounds a lot more distant, but yes, there were explosions right here in the city as for the atmosphere. you can definitely see people walking around me, of course everyone here is hoping that vis conflict will soon and according to you and numbers are more than 14000 people had dialed over 90. children were killed in this conflict. so $240.00 children have been wounded and many of them became a disabled. so certainly the people here want peace. they want not nothing but peace. and some of them are all over the past 2 days since they're breaking again. they're saying that said, don't netscape, the moment is probably the safest place that's in has been in the last 8 years because the fighting is now mostly going out board and not into the city. we heard from patrick huntington executive, editor of 20th century wide dot com. he thinks the ukranian government has had

little control over some of the more extreme forces fighting in the country. you don't really have a fully functioning state. and i think a lot of people will argue that on many levels, ukraine has been a kind of a failed state in some sense, after the coo and 2014. but just by nearby, the nature of the fact that they don't have the military hierarchy don't have full control over all of their paramilitary units. we're talking about the as all battalions in some of the more extreme radical right. leaning extreme right, leaving military units that russia moscow complained about that or not under the full control of the unified ukrainian military hierarchy. and this is why you probably have all of these civilian casualties showing in the dom bass. and at the same time, the government has been denying that they've been firing or broken cease fire

protocols regarding the mix chords and so forth. so that the level of deniability is always very convenient if you have sort of freelancing units within your military structure. the russian defense when she has released that update on its military operation, which, where some powers are denouncing as an invasion. according to the report, donuts can log on to republic. troops are advancing with us of order russian forces . they moved 25 kilometers west beyond the former contact glide into territory that was in phil now held by chief. numerous ukrainian soldiers reportedly surrendered, laying down their weapons. a russian avalon troops now control the exclusion zone surrounding a full, much noble nuclear power plot. now, in towns and cities across ukraine, warning sirens have been going all throughout the day. these images from nikolai, on the black sea coast, you can see people huddled in a service here, a shelter in a school basement with a large fire on the outskirts of product golf in the east and ukraine. this video

apparently shows a blaze in an army fuel deaf or a coffee ukraine, the 2nd largest city home to one half 1000000 people, russian troops. i've been conducting operations outside the city limits, but say those have now concluded while ukrainian national symbols are being removed and the break away, don't mass republics, which russia now considered to be independent. here don't have to, militia fighter can be seen replacing the flag with the russian. one outside was a local administration building. but if the forces have moved west beyond the former contact line, there is now heavy fighting and very useful between them and the as a battalion, the fatality is a nationalist militia group which russia considered neo nazi. and the un has accused of war crimes in while unverified to video is stuck on line, apparently showing people welcoming the russian army. give us more for sunday.

we want to $2000000.00. there's a new lawyer him on that tonight as you're not only in the morning, he walks by series of powerful explosions, authorities climate shut down a russian cruise. my thought over a residential area in the capital, russia defense industry has denied conducting a rocket stripe and it says ukraine shot down inside the fight or across. the very apparently came down on an apartment building, sparking a fire and injuring a people around 200 russian federal troopers have seized the key. got su, makia fighting has been ongoing for 2 days now and ended when the paratroopers linked up with other russian forces. while the european union has improved 2 rounds of sanctions against russia, condemning what it calls the outright invasion of ukraine, the british prime minister wants to take things that further urging partners to cut

russia out of the swift financial transaction system. what is paula leah is in london with the latest. the british prime minister boys johnson has introduced the largest ever sanctions at this country has imposed on russia. we have heard from the british prime minister that these he believes will hobble the russian economy. they target the russian elite who live here, or have businesses here in london. they also target the russian president vladimir putin in a circle. and they also target a number of banks, not least of all, the 2nd largest estate owned russian bank. the foreign secretary here in the u. k. has been undertaking a round of shuttle diplomacy to try and persuade fellow european countries to cut russia off from the swift monetary system. and this is after the you refused to do so. so we see her going around and trying to get support for what has been termed the nuclear option of sanctions. and we've now heard from the british prime

minister johnston, also calling for nato countries to support this idea this afternoon. i urged nato leaders to take immediate action against swift to inflict maximum pain on president putin and his regime. now dawning state has also said that nothing is off the table when it comes to them supporting ukraine. and we see this as a flurry of activity happens in european capitals, where they 2 are imposing tough measures and tough sanctions on russia. poland and the czech republic have now closed their air space to russian plains. at the same time, the sanctions that are being imposed will increase rushes, borrowing costs will raise inflation and will gradually erode rushes industrial base. so that is the aim of particularly the european sanctions by curbing these deposits. what they european meters are hoping is that wealthy russian businessman

cannot to quote tide they money any more in the safe havens in europe. joseph burrow of the e, you had this to say read it and put in for a minister other off out in the list of sanction people together with the remaining members to do my boarding directions. now, of course not everyone here in europe or the u. k. is happy with the sanctions that are being imposed against russia. they will of course, people who say that the west is also responsible for what is happening. but the message by an launch that's coming out of here is that washing needs to know that it is being isolated. and nature is warning that they could be more sanctions. we must stand ready to do more. even if it means we have to pay a price because we are in this for a long whole. at the same time,

the message coming from nato is that it won't put its forces in ukraine. but of course, there is growing concern in terms of where all of this will lead. we are also hearing the message that we've heard for the past few days that europe is not at war with russia. and economist, richard wolf thinks, borrowing russia from the switch banking system would call was huge financial problems worldwide in a global world, more globally interconnected than ever before. if you blocked the swift system, you are declaring a kind of economic warfare that will damage and destroy all kinds of economic relationships. the reason mister shows in germany did not want to and stopped the attempt to freeze russia out of swift, was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up into the roof beyond what it has already been. because you couldn't pay russia for the oil and gas through swift,

and they wouldn't send it anymore. and no one knows where that's going to go. so if they do that, if they actually go through with that, they will disrupt global trade. they will drive inflation through the roof. and let me remind everyone, russia, china, iran, and many other countries don't like the domination, the united states as over the swift system. and it really is only a matter of time before there are multiple systems. bitcoin is already functioning to a degree like that. so this would be a very dangerous step because it will accelerate the end of the swift monopoly bothered now and other headlines, the russian media regulator has announced restrictions on facebook, accusing it of apparently von eating human rights and freedoms of russians. access

to the social media platform will be limited, so it's unclear what exact measures will take place. well, this comes off to facebook, blocked the page you, the for russian meter outlets accusing them of spreading so called unreliable information. after the russian move the u. s. company said it will retain it, span on those pages. now. meanwhile, that rush is investigative committee. looks on. he's donal quarter reports. i'm right here in russia's roster region in the town of tucker rock, but we actually have here on russian territory. i heard that that there have been artillery strikes a number of them. i mean, just last night there were over, over 14, at least 14 artillery strikes on the territory of russia's ra stove region. and just yesterday, when the military offensive began, there were other other reports as well. in belgrade there were a number of artillery strikes that hit there and damaged people's homes. we have

indeed seen shelling on russian territory. and this has caused the, the russian authorities, the regional authorities, that border don boss and ukraine to take measures. they've closed down the air space of rushes to southern region. all the flights are basically canceled from at least from ra stoves, 12 airports, roster regions 12 airports until march 2nd. that's just at minimum that can be extended depending on how the situation unfolds. the another measure they've taken is that they've closed schools that are near the border that aarp, it could potentially come under shelling as we've seen, has already happened in border areas. so they want to make sure that kids there can be safe. and like you said, the russian government has now opened a criminal investigation into these instances, but not just these instances also into the, the 8 years of artillery bombing of civilian villages, towns in done boss, 8 years of that. and the russian government is going to investigate specifically

the main perpetrators of the leaders and, and affiliates of neo fascist armed organizations. like as all battalion and right sector that have been the most ferociously anti russian in this situation. so let's take a listen to what the head of the investigative committee had to say here crystal blue goose, who shows we've named the perpetrators of all the crimes that were committed into nest and le ganske through shelling russian murder and so on. with genocide, we have enough evidence, the killing of people on the basis of nationality. now it's important to mention that to what we just heard, these acts of, of genocide, the artillery strikes of don boss and that have been going on for 8 years. this is created a crisis. i mean, there ever, ever since the don boss, people's republics is declared an evacuation just about a week ago because they had information that suggested that the ukrainians were going to going on go on an offensive. over $100000.00 evacuees have left the don

boss area to russia since then. and they've been, i've been temporarily being housed at temporary, temporary housing facilities in the border regions of ra stove and others that i mentioned before. it's there that they were given food and water. a stipends of around $10000.00 roubles are around $14150.00, and a warm place to stay at night. this is where they've taken their children. this is where those who are were not of military age or 2, not strong enough to fight, have gone with little more than the shirts on their backs and whatever they could carry, leaving, leaving everything behind. and now they, for many of them have either gone to live with relatives in russia if they have them or if they don't, then to other areas deeper within the russian federal federation that are outside harm's way. we did actually it here yesterday that the done done yet, people's republican delgado people's republic have declared a suspension of this evacuation. it seems like they see that the situation there

has gotten a bit better than it was before the offensive started. but we're gonna have to see again how the situation plays out. now the minsk agreements obliged both sides of the ukrainian conflict to withdrawal weapons from the front line. then donati documentary follows the lives of people living in the conflict zone over the past 8 years. or you can see the full version at all t dot com warning you might find some of the following seems distress. hi alexandra leon. tv is one of the great sounds most nob hill resident. he's the only electrician still here after the civil war broke out in the settlement of alexandra for him, the front line stopped just outside the gates of his own house. i think that has a pretty south or to play ruth, a yellow boy melissa,

perform hello. that's mtv. i who call you back a alexander keeps a special notebook when he records every one of his cools to repair power lines damaged by shelling in the last 7 years, it's become a real chronicle of an undeclared war. didn't like the auto sally ali found the roku stream. it was a bit deeper with shocked. b. a . with

a new entry and alexander's diary of january the 16th 2015 or that was the day his family was killed by multiply reserve time day of room. i'm not sure how military officially come on i was a parent who she was really really cuz she was crucial. so yeah, it's a school where it's of course. okay. it's a with her a modem. she doesn't with

chris or a zone with now with turning point for ukraine, of course came back in 2014 when the government was topple with an uprising back then a phone call was leaked in which show us different backstory newland was her talking to the u. s ambassador, deciding which ukraine and officials to put in what government post. max blumenthal, editor of the gray zone, independent news website thinks those actions put ukraine on the path to conflict. victoria newland is now the top state department, official presiding over russian ukrainian policy. so the architect of this qu, which created a backdrop for this war, the war's been going on for 8 years. that person is back in the building, and americans aren't told this. so if you watch you as coverage of this war,

you will not hear about my don, particularly in that context that is career suicide for any corresponding or any reporter to provide that context. and that is the most critical context, the context of what has happened to the people of donnette and lugens, since well also and headlines today. russia's foreign minister saga lateral held talks with the leaders of the dumbass republics. recently recognized by moscow, they discussed the ongoing military operation and the opening of embassies. saskia taylor has more well just a short while ago. a historic event wrapped up here in moscow in the building. just right behind me. the 1st at that meeting between russian foreign minister, so gay, la brothman, of course, his newly established counterparts from the done yet under ganske republics, was held. the majority of the press conference that followed was dedicated to a question posed by west and john les and perhaps on surprise me. they really press

mister love roth on the special operation currently underway in ukraine. now on this, mr. profit can be said was very, very clear. nato and its allies had pushed too far. when asking mos it go to compromise on questions of national security in a way that he says no other quest a country has ever been asked to look. for example, the cuban missile crisis to see how america reacted in a very similar situation, he outed that the primary goal of what is currently going on in ukraine is to allow you all ukrainians and all the ethnic diversity to live as equals. his view was that ukraine, after many years, has been controlled, not just from a broad as a tool of containment of russia, but also from within by what moscow is cooling, fall right, fascists. foreign minister, what is the objective of this operation? is it to remove the democratically elected president of ukraine? president zalinski from power is another. we see no chance of recognizing

a government as democratic that uses genocide against the round people when moscow has consistently express concern about discrimination against the large russian minority within ukraine. this is not just, for example, here, imposing economic blockade on the don pass republics. but also, laws are russians are found both misty and that language under attack on a constitutional level. meaning that some russian speakers can even be find if they're heard speaking russian in certain context. number of question. if island, for example, did a similar thing to english language speakers? wood, england, just uptown, apply die. he claims that it's highly unlikely. as for where to go now, given that we are here, reports said mister zalinski is hiding in a bunker though he did, of course, asked president putin to sit down and talk while to this miss la for offset that wall must go, is always open to dialogue. they can only proceed with caution given.
