the me, the the president ukraine soldiers to take power in the country to protect civilian lives, as western powers, condemn what they call out invasion officials into that group, public claim ukrainian army show a local school killing to teach in russia, defense ministry accuses ukraine's army of allegedly committing a war crime by placing rocket launchers in residential area. i appeal to ukrainian citizen, i'm going to share your nationalists leadership uses the same method this year, and they want to use you as human shields, russia as military operation. ukraine who's thanks, have a way to protect the people who don't buy, continues for a 2nd day as russian troops move across the country
4:01 pm
who's life for moscow. thanks for joining us this out and all the international. i'm daniel hawkins. where you are welcome to the program president bush and has said he's ready to send a delegation to bella ruth santiago shape with the korean government itself. the president, let me case offers talk. according to the kremlin ukraine has responded with a counter offer for a meeting in the polish capital walsall. so far, no decision has been reached off the day to brushes military opperation who has also address ukrainian soldiers directly urging them to take power in the country. you should, i should be in a solution lunacy. 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
4:02 pm
will be easier for us to come to an agreement. i guess you cannot underestimate the significance of these latest commons by the russian president and the tone, the toughness of mister prudent, that's something we've not seen before. when he was referring to the government in kiev, 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 neo 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,
4:03 pm
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 van der zalinski that he made a couple of hours ago. and he, he's in a situation where i believe he's desperate to start these direct talks with latimer proved. and also i'd like to point out that this was a complete change in tone compared to what mister zalinski was saying about 2 days ago when the 1st stages of the russian military operation were unraveling. back
4:04 pm
then he was saying that the cranial 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 was much more nervous, but mister zalinski, according to the kremlin, it 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 kia, where the russian defense ministry claims ukraine is apparently using its population as human shields, allegedly on the direct instructions of us advisors. so you think it's been lost in
4:05 pm
other countries and was looking i appeal to ukrainian citizen last year, your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as terrorists, or they want to use you as human shields that the russian armed forces will not strike residential areas of the ukrainian capital, i'm assuming that the ministry spokesman, also planed ukraine, is committing a war crime by following auditory from inside residential areas. but not the russian military will not be drawn into provocations. a also noted that similar tactics have allegedly been used by cia back to one of them in the middle east. no, i don't think in terms ofa military perspective, it would have much impact whatsoever. i however, of course you don't need really a military expert to really know that to give out weapons to anybody that office to use them against somebody is probably quite a wreck as part of it. smacks of desperation, of course. but to problem comes, when weapons are given out freely, that festival you're given it to people who may not be potty trained in how to use
4:06 pm
them in the 1st instance. and secondly, but you've got an issue that you've only got it on trusted as people are going to use those weapons against the invader. after all, they could be going to actually anybody. and sadly linked to that, as we seen again and again in theaters such as syria, libya and elsewhere. when of course, it was the west providing weapons to just about anybody that wanted them. then even if they go to carefully fatty to as to west claimed it was giving people the, the people who would i be getting referenced to? i've been kathy vetted. i said i'm, but nonetheless, those weapons still ended up in what they called the wrong hands. and that was what with us will my son, my thing to happen in this situation, who all goes wrong is when the could be anybody and you kind from a criminal lopez and saw people who wants to settle scores, people, perhaps, of extremist persuasions of one form or another and history, i think relatively recent history,
4:07 pm
especially when we think about libby and syria shows for one that once you introduce those weapons, if freely into an environment half, yes. well, you kind of keep control of those weapons and doesn't just apply. i would mention to you crane handed them out to it. so since the also of course of course applies very much say to the web, consider it being handed to the ukraine government armed forces from britain, america, and others. now, russian officials are claiming that american advisers are effectively running the ukrainian army and telling them to put all sort of units in densely populated residential areas in care. but in this case, do you find that proposal? could there be any truth in those claims? well we haven't, i haven't seen any direct evidence of that as let me say it's not true. it may be true, it may not be. however, it is true, i think, or what was also mentioned by the military official that there are parallels here
4:08 pm
or possible power last week. what's been happening recently and again i reference syria in particular where of course again and again military assets that are in the hands of repose or indeed sometimes in the case of armies as well. of course i, situated in civilian areas. i am, if russia sticks to its words, that is not going to be drawn in to target in the civilian areas. i think that will be enormously helpful to the plan that they have. after all, it's not just, it would appear this plan about conquering ukraine. it's also about an occupying it and influence in his government. it appears to be the objective so far. but also of course the has to be an element of winning hearts and minds. not very difficult. of course, if you're attacking a country and if civilians are being killed or injured, that make a specially hard. so i think in this operation above all, russia would be very wise and i'm sure they're aware of this to minimize the civil cashed is absolutely to, to the bare minimum otherwise,
4:09 pm
even if they were as cheap military victory in this conflict. which of course does seem likely and perhaps quite seen in terms of for actually a government perhaps not continue to function or actually controlled in a country and winning its hearts and minds, i think would be pretty very, very difficult. indeed, if a large numbers of civilians are killed or injured and of course western powers of providing promising to provide more arms full, you trying to believe decisions have been made already to make those shipments. what do you make of that efforts to help? is it a genuine effort? is it going to make an impact? is it too little too late? already? of course, there's a lot of demand, a lot of fat prussia from newspaper headlines from politicians, and many others that the west should be seen to be doing something beyond the sanctions that it's imposed already. the economic measures which so far appear to be quite ineffective. the problem comes when you supply weapons into
4:10 pm
a boy's or not, this is keeping the chief of course, a victims of which would largely be the ukrainian civilian population. we know that from what happened in syria and libya where weapons were literally flooded in without much concern. as to where they ended up. all right, that's what we have time for. they saw a shawl, she was full. me. okay. put ethan counter terrorism intelligence officer. thanks for joining us in the program. we appreciate your time. now 2 teachers have been killed by ukrainian authorities strike on a school outside. don't ask that's according to local officials. a warning you might find the following footage. distressing. now we receive these images showing the aftermath note children were in the building at the time. it's within one of the 2 domains, republics, which russia recognized as independence. earlier this week in donuts itself for residential areas, have been hit. according to locals, the euclidean shell landed in a parking lot damaging several vehicles. the short wave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse with one civilian reportedly severely injured. ortiz roman
4:11 pm
causative reports from little ask republic as shelling continues here in the people's republic, and we've been here and it's in the center of the city on the outskirts of the city . and of course, the news came from the city of a girl of earlier on friday where 2 teachers were killed by shelling at a school. thankfully, the school was close and there were no, we're, we're no children present here. you mission good again. but i just want to give you 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. if you keep it, it will be void off. he grant has been killing us for 8 years now. he's left
4:12 pm
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 jain, deal at the moment. shelling of that city seniors for 8 years already and this friday was not any different. in addition to the 2 women who were killed by artillery fire, one person was wounded earlier on thursday, and the other 2 people were killed at a factory where they were working and all and all over 2 days with all of as many as 12 people have been wounded now from the city of gall of coal, which is about an hour away from where i'm standing to ride here to the city of done that square shelling hit will nearly the center of the city about 2
4:13 pm
kilometers away from where i'm standing. several civilian 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. unfortunately, she died on route to the hospital. now dennis kiss quite a large says he 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 mario paul, while according to the representative of the people's militia here, edwards, bus, sir, and well, that city is currently encircled by our zone. but sally and it's a so called the territorial defense force, which over many years the many have linked it with neo nazi affiliations and belief . well, there is saying here that there are members of this battalion. they're not letting
4:14 pm
people evacuate from murray report. we've been hearing a lot of artillery fire here in the center on friday. of course has been it 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 as this conflict will soon and according to you in numbers, a more than 14000 people had died of over 90. children were killed in this conflict . the 240 children had been wounded. and so many of them became a disabled so certainly the people here want peace. they want not nothing but peace and some of them for the past 2 days in separation. again, they're saying that said donnette sc at the moment is probably the safest place that it has been in the last 8 years because the fighting is now mostly going out
4:15 pm
board and not into the city. we had from patrick kennings and executive editor of 21st century wa dot com. he thinks the ukranian government has very little control over some of the more extreme fools his fighting in the country really have a fully functioning state. and i think a lot of people will argue that, um, you know, on many levels, ukraine has been a kind of a failed state in some sense after the qu, in 2014. but just by nearby the, the nature of the fact that they don't have the military hierarchy don't have full control over all of their a paramilitary units. we're talking about the as off battalions and some of the more extreme radical right leaning extreme right. leaning military units that russia and moscow's complained about that or not under the full control of the unified ukrainian military hierarchy. and hence this is why you probably
4:16 pm
have all of these a civilian casualties. shelling in the dom bass and at the same time the government, the key has been denying that they've been firing or broken ceasefire protocols regarding the minks accords and so forth. so that level of deniability is always very convenient if you have sort of freelancing ah, units or within your military structure. or the russian defense ministry has only an update on what it calls that special operation in ukraine, which western powers, of course, announced as an invasion. according to the reports going to it's going to go to republic, troops or advancing would be support a russian forces. they moved 25 kilometers west beyond the former contact line into territory that was until now held by key of numerous ukrainian soldiers have allegedly surrendered. laying down their weapons, a russian troops now control the exclusion zone surrounding the former for noble nuclear power plot. now in thousands his he cities across the country morning,
4:17 pm
sorry, i've been guy all throughout the day. he's image is off from nikolai on the black sea coast. you can see people huddle lit up. soviet era era, shelter when a school based one that was a large fire on the outskirts of protocol for any ukraine. this video shows a blaze at anom, a fuel deco article for ukraine's 2nd largest city home to 1500000 people. russian troops have been conducting operations outside the city limits, but say those have not completed all the training and national symbols are being removed in a breakaway dumbass republics, which rush of course no hero, don't ask militia for, they can be seen or placing the flag with one of the republic outside a local administration building the forces move west beyond the former contact line is now heavy fighting. and maria
4:18 pm
poll between them and the battalion is a nationalist militia group which russia considered to be neo nazi. and the un has accused of war crime. meanwhile, unverified video is circulated online, allegedly showing people welcoming the russian all mania article. or you have more fun. it was similar to the new orange when you're not only in the morning kia was walked by a series of powerful explosions. authorities claim they shut down a russian cruise with all over a residential area in the capital rushes. defense ministry though, has denied conducting rocket strike and says ukraine shot out its own fighter. across the debris apparently came down in the apartment buildings blocking a fire and injuring 8 people around 200 russian paratroopers of see the key gospel field near kia fighting has been ongoing for 2 days now and ended when the power
4:19 pm
troop was linked up with other russian forces the united states is about to impose sanctions on the russian president vladimir putin and the russian foreign minister, 2nd level follow a similar decisions by the european union. and the block had only approved 2 rounds of sanctions against russia, condemning what it calls the invasion of ukraine. bruce from an ester wants to take things that further urging partly to rush out of the swift financial transaction system. or he's poorly. leah is in london with the latest. the british prime minister boys, johnson has introduced the largest ever sanctions that this country has imposed on russia. we have heard from the british prime minister that these he believes we'll 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,
4:20 pm
not least of all the 2nd largest state 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 manner tree 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 or so 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 poolgan 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,
4:21 pm
where they 2 are imposing tough measures and tough sanctions on russia. poland and the czech republic have now close 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 russia's 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 burrell, of the e. you had this to say read it and put in for a minister rather off out in the list of sanction people together with the remaining members to do my so boarding dish regression. now of course not everyone here in europe or the u. k. is happy with the sanctions that are being imposed
4:22 pm
against russia. there was 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 the long haul. 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. economists, richard wal thing, sparring russia on the source banking system could cause huge financial problems across the world in a global world, more globally interconnected than ever before. if you blocked this with the system,
4:23 pm
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 in approve 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
4:24 pm
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 monopolies too bothered you did. the russian mania recognize, has announced restrictions on facebook, accusing it of that so called violating human rights and freedoms. the russians access of the social media platform will be limited, although it's unclear what the measures will entail. exactly. this comes, of course of the facebook blocked the page is a full rushing media outlets accusing them of spreading unreliable information off the russian move the u. s. companies that it will retain its ban on those pages. now back to what is going on in ukraine. the men's grievance obliged both sides of the ukrainian conflict to withdraw weapons from the front line. and all he documented follow is the lives of people living in the so called conflict. the
