ah, ah, the headlines this how naughty international the kremlin says, ukraine is refusing to negotiate that. according to the kremlin, the military operation, they say, will continue. that as an advisor to ukraine's president says kia is not satisfied with the conditions. russia is offering for peace negotiations. meanwhile, a source in russia defense ministry rejects allegations, the military hit, a residential towel block in ukraine's capital. both sides are blaming each other. meanwhile, artillery and gunfire is reported in the city. this kindergarten in one of the unnatural districts is just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning . our correspondent reports from the dorm mass conflict zone were

a kindergarten has come under fire. fortunately, there were no civilian casualties. and a russian cargo ship is intercepted by france in the english channel, not soft to strict sanctions imposed by the evil rushes. devastating minute reaction. you correct? ah la from oscar. thanks for joining us. this our on our team to national, at a difficult time in ukraine. we're trying very hard to bring you both sides of the story and the latest updates of what is going on on the ground. now we are getting reports of gunfire and artillery in key of the crate and capital. joining me is artesia, but franco, in the studio earlier, i'm sure the images of russian military force is moving towards the capital. have shocked many, not only here across the world as well. we understand that gunfire can now be heard on the outskirts of kia or no more. do we know at this stage?

well, just like last night, the average for videos of the fighting that's already going on in the residential areas of kiev. they began to appear as it became dark over the cranium capital. but there are quite a few developments when it comes to what's actually in these videos. and this is very worrying and troubling because we do actually see crossfire last night. it was mostly gotten fire when i'm, when i'm talking about the cross bar here, it could actually be felt that these are either artillery rounds or possibly even missile launchers. and this is indeed much more warring, although i do want to point out that for now, we're not showing you these videos because we cannot verify their authenticity. however,

now from the reports that we're getting from the locals and on social media, it has become abundantly clear that fighting is now happening inside of which is the crating capital in the city of almost $3000000.00 inhabitants. and we know that is divided by the nipper river. the russians have closed in on the city from the western side. and there is a major road that links the highway that in circles with the city center. and again, i'm looking at reports on ta graham candles, and i can see that already the russian forces are halfway through that road. these are all the reports. these are the things that we're hearing on social media . we have not received constant confirmation of that from the russian military officially, but the situation in kiev is very difficult. also, what i look at the maps which show traffic in kiev,

you know how you usually see these green or red line lines there. they're almost nonexistent anymore because apparently the cars are not out in the streets. many, many people thing god have left the capital. so definitely from that fighting the infrastructure, the residential areas as well. unfortunate. the will be damaged. but let's hope that there aren't many casualties as a result of this fighting which is intensifying. no matter what it seems. i think it's evident that no side, no people in the russia ukraine, want to see this conflict. indeed, the russian government is also not interested in a protracted war here. it's so important that besides sit down to negotiate to any of those piece talks to stop the fighting and stop those casualties. that kind of will unfortunately arise as that fighting intensifies really patrol cool. get back to you with more updates later or russia is military operation is now in

its 3rd day that says, condemnation from many western states has hit fever. pitch comes as more explosions are reported in your brains. capital kia are these him as you show what appears to be a mythos strike was an actual tell block on the outskirts of the capital. several floors have been damaged. it's unclear if there are any casualties. now, according to the russian defense ministry, it was caused by miss l. god and failure in ukraine's advent system. that's what the ministry is saying. t of though is blaming the russian army. they're saying it was a russian massage strike. now, russian military expert gave us his views on the tactics employed by the cranium, military forces in the defense of this was the reason they left home michelle guidance system of a grain onto this complex. and one surely gram media will

represent this case as a russian attack, but it's a big according to their control, the track bath, and the nature of the damage. we can surely identify it as an anti miss out. it is very difficult to establish a serial number, but the from the possible to identified. the main reason is that they are gray and forces a deployment are moments in form and conditions directly threatening severe. this is the main problem for ukraine is capital officials arising residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. residents are also seeking safety in the cities metro stations. oh,

now there's unverified footage has emerged on line showing, fighting in the protocol region which borders russia on. the don't bi claim several actually been flying over the city of baccha layer and shot some powerful explosion . subbing heard a russian forces have reported destroyed ukrainian army warehouses. now the ukrainian president's office says keith is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russia for sci fi negotiations. after the criminal spokesman claims ukraine is refusing to hold talks and russia will continue what it describes as a special military operation. they stress once again, the russian army is apparently not targeting any spit in area. yesterday, when we were expecting negotiations with the ukrainian leadership, the russian president ordered a suspension of the russian armed forces advance. but as the ukrainian side has refused to negotiate, the advance of the main russian forces resumed this afternoon in accordance with

the plan of the operation. ukraine of course, did not refuse negotiations, but that's about negotiations, which, by the way, have not yet taken place. ukraine and president zelinski categorically renounce any unacceptable conditions or ultimatums from the russian side of the sound of shuddering has also been herds across the whole of ukraine. namely in the city of dawn, asking the east of the country archie, roman close it. if tells us more about what's been going on there, pull about sir 7 p. m local time were heard. so really allows sounds of artillery here in the jeanette scanned from the reports that we're getting from the officials . i here are, those were 152 millimeter or harvard servers or, or they said it could be multiple rocket launcher systems that were shelled at said genetics a little bit earlier. now this happens a near the airport about says 6 kilometers from a where i'm standing a right now. as the result, at the moment, municipal transfer,

public transportation has been halted in the area and emergency services are on the scene, trying to figure figure out the result of fall. what had happened now earlier on saturday into and ask at least 3 private residences have also been damaged as, as showing a continued stay here in this city. no, no reports about casualties about what happened earlier on saturday evening, but over the last 48 hours there were at least 7 civilians killed in la ganske and a generic as the result of the ukrainian shelling. of course, scores were injured as the results are as well. now civilian infrastructure on the outskirts of the nest has been damaged and as a result, thousands of people are now without electricity or without access to any water. now several building sins and ask had been damaged on friday as well going on saturday

morning. now one of those buildings boys a kindergarten. thankfully there were no people there at the time of the shelling, but nevertheless the kindergarten was so heavily damaged all the windows were blown out and i visited that place a little bit earlier on saturday. and so this is the footage that i came back with . this kindergarten in one of our nest districts is just one of the places was shelled on a saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. but he says that i fell off the building. at least the 32 windows here had been shattered. and this is the place of impact if you can put the camera this way. right next to begin kindergarten. thankfully, i was done over night. no kids were here. no teachers, i saw nobody was hurt. but you can take a look all around me. this is a heavily populated residential area. there are people living in each and every one

of these houses. and i can see absolutely no military positions here at all. but the front line is located not very far away from here. but this place in the nest is being shelled throughout the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on call for a hearty donuts. according to donuts for public officials, local militia groups have taken control of settlements around the city of nikolai africa. these are images from the region. they also claim to have taken 2 territories on the way to mar you pull as well as nearby roads. russian defense ministry says ukrainian nationalists. fighters are using truck mounted mortars with the latest you book value on the the nationalist battalions. you so called mendera cars, which have increased off road capability and are equipped with large caliber, small arms or mortars. let me remind you that this tactic is used by international terrorists in syria. that is the machine. well,

let's look at some more of the latest pictures from the enhanced people's republics . local forces can be seen moving through the area with support from the russian military. in the past few hours they've taken 3, but a just well, let's take a look at the conflicts map now in the east of the country, which is where the conflict of course began some years ago. now, the smart and red and blue on the map of the to thomas republics, according to the borders as we should recognize, as independent by russia. the russian defense ministry has just announced new development. they say, regard forces every say can territory from the ukrainian army. that's around 46 kilometers beyond what was the contact line or don't ask forces of advanced by 10 kilometers. meanwhile, the ministry has released the following video. me. what you can see there is a dam being destroyed by russian forces. it was built back in 2014 by ukraine to block a canals flying water to residents of crimea. that's one of the reason became

a part of russia. now people from me has suffered severe water shortages ever since then. the russian ministry says supplies will now be restored in full meanwhile, all is calm and i will exclusion zone around the remains of the nuclear power plant . of course, a lot of international concern when fighting reached that area regarding the safety of the full market club 2 days ago was taken on the control of russian forces. now both russian troops and ukrainian force as a jointly keeping it secure. as you can see there on the video, the facilities safety personnel continue to that are on the radioactivity levels are reported to be normal. meanwhile, the russian president about posting is a legit and reclaiming radical national assembly. all we are putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weapons in the populated area. you know,

the ukranian radical nationalist deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large cities, including kiff and hark of they planned to provoke a response from russian strike systems on residential areas. in fact, they act in the same way as terrorists do. they hide the truth and hope blaming the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans that uses that well here on the 1st image, you can see a verified photo of ukrainian artillery squad to a bottle position in the middle of a residential area. a russian defense ministry spokesman claims the russian side will not be drawn into publications and will not engage heavy weaponry inside cities. meanwhile, are you pregnant authorities of scrapped age limits for ami entry and also by and all men between 18 and 60, from leaving the country. queen an authorized user, all 3 sharing farms to any citizen who wants them. and a kia regional loan, it's reported more than $10000.00 rifles were handed out to volunteers. and in the

northern city of shouldn't golf, its mary calling on citizens to take up weapons. you shouldn't see me as fellow citizens of churney. cough i have urgently address you. we need to prepare for fighting on the streets. that's why anyone who knows what i'm talking about. prepare a lighter fluid. another thing committed citizens, guys. i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense. are we spoke to sure, sure. bridge or former counterterrorism intelligence officer, there are of course 2 sides to hunting weapons, so desperate times call for desperate measures for ukrainians to defend their city . there are also risks to simply hunting weapons to untrained civilians to give out weapons to anybody that office to use them against somebody is probably quite a record odyssey slacks of desperation, of course. but the problem comes when weapons are given out freely. that festival

you're giving it to people who may not be coffee, trying to how to use them in the 1st instance. and secondly, 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 at once you introduce those weapons, a freely into an environmental theater of well, you cannot keep control of those weapons. meanwhile, we're getting reports of shells reportedly falling in rushes. rossville region across the border. auto zone alcorta is in the region. luckily nobody was injured. infrastructure wasn't damaged to either cute, landed in a forested area. now, the ukrainian foreign ministry says that its military has not been shooting at the territory of the russian federation, but this is not the 1st instance in which bombs have fallen here yesterday, in this very same region of ra stove. at least 14 artillery strikes took place on border areas within the region and right after the beginning of the russian

military offensive. there were other such instances in brand screech and there were, there was shelling there where houses were destroyed and 3 people were injured. the same thing happened in belgrade infrastructure was damaged, shelling happened, and 3 people were also injured. they're interesting. 3 interestingly enough, more recently, near belgrade region, a ukrainian soldier had been trying to escape to the russian federation trying to basically defect and neo fascist groups. there that had their hands on artillery artillery batteries had fired out at him and unfortunately killed him and injured another servicemen in the, in the russian, a federal security services as well. now, because of this violence that's actually been happening on the russian federation, the authorities have taken measures they've closed down rushes southern air space. basically there's going to be no flights out of this area. there's 12 airports in roster of region alone that will not be having flights. another thing they've done

is closed down all the schools that are located in boarder regence of that border. the don boss, people's republics. we have to remember that there are at least 3000 children from done yet can lugens cologne that have left that and have evacuated that region to the russian federation and are connected to educational institutions in these border regions. so that's another task. the russian authorities now have on their hands. what are they gonna do? where are they gonna put them so that they can make sure to continue their education? now since the conflict, thought it more than a 100000 people have fled, the dumbass republics are women, children and the elderly have been transported to near by russian regions across the border. also for the south of the republic of korea, we got some of the reactions to the recent events. it's been frightening. we had problems with electricity and water. there was shelling, so we were asked to evacuate. there are very good people here. we were well received, well fed,

thank you very much. i need to know that the military action restarted a week ago on our territory and we had to leave my daughters were afraid of the explosions. they asked what was going on. we wanted recognition delux, ganske people's republic until recently was considered a territory with no connection to anything. so we really wanted some kind of status for our homeland was of course to contact lines are being shelled heavily. so my husband quickly got his ready in 2 hours and we were sent to ab kasia. it was more terrifying than in 2014 was more shilling, more destruction. maybe they have more anger after food and recognised us. we've been waiting for this for a long time. no, no, the headlines front says it's intercepted, a russian vessel and english channel, reportedly on suspicion of sanctions violations. this comes off to the u. hit russia with a fresh raft of punitive measures over its military action and ukraine. charlotte davinsky has more. this cargo ship was seized at around 7 am local time here on

saturday in france. it's a cargo ship cool. the baltic leader and it is apparently on a list of companies that have being sanctioned by the u. s. as a result of that russian military action in ukraine. now we understand that originally the cargo ship was pulled over by the french officials because they wanted a check documentation. however, it then emerged that it is on that sanctions list. and as a result, the boat was seized and taken to balloon soon there, which is the largest port here in france, just down the road from cali, it's better known cousin 19 crew on board. we understand that they have been allowed to disembark from the cargo ship, and they are allowed to move around freely. now, the russian embassy here in paris has sent a note to the government requesting more information, and it says it will do all it can to protect the rights of those s sailors on board

. the 19, now are for the moment we don't understand or when are aware of what cargo that ship may have been carrying. but we do understand that the reason it was pulled over is because this ship belongs to p. s. b leasing, which apparently is on the us sanctions list. now for the moment, the cargo, if there is any cargo and the vessel itself have been seized and the feature of that will be determined now by a french court. meanwhile, a number of countries have closed their spokes to russian airlines over the ukraine crisis. among them, the u. k is shut republic, poland, and baltic states as well. but moscow responded with what it calls fit footer measures the multiple staves have agreed to further tighten the sanctions. russia on moscow, after talks in brussels, in response to russia's millet reaction in ukraine. a policy clear has the latest.

while they set the spelling out in some kind of spiral, they are growing with the u. k. imposing harsh sanctions on russia. they've now imposed an extra travel van in terms of not only russian aircraft not being allowed to land here, but also private chess. at the same time v t b bank, the 2nd largest state own bank and a number of other russian banks have also been sanctioned. the u. k is no longer accepting visa applications from ukrainians who are stuck in that country unless they have close family. here in the u. k. and beat bella was ambassador to london has been summoned and told that new members of the ruling elite also to be sanctioned. for supporting russia's military moves, the opposition eda has said that more sanctions are necessary, as one of the members of parliament from his party has started receiving death threats for search for criticizing and speaking out against nato expansion. the

prime minister by his johnson earlier recorded a twitter video in which he called for an end to what he has termed a crisis. it was also an opportunity for him to show off his knowledge of the russian and ukrainian languages. putin's actions are leading to complete isolation for russia, shuttled by the rest of the international community, hit by immense economic sanctions and facing a needless and bloody war. for these already costing countless lies from innocent ukrainians to your russian soldiers who will never see their families again. and to my russian friends. your new view store davina advanced over empty this crisis. this tragedy can and must come to an end to show its v tupa prima villa as to what a no brainer swa grainy. now the european union also says that

it is imposing hot sanctions that these it says will cripple the russian economy. they include sanctions on individuals, state owned companies, and king sectors of the russian economy. all members of the russian parliament will now face asset freezes and travel bands at the same time and an extremely rare move . the e u has frozen the assets of the russian president vladimir putin and his foreign minister. so gait live rav, although neither certainly not at this point, are being subject to an you travel ban. the european union and european leaders saying that one of this is necessary, but to want to for decent, we're adding president prudent and foreign secretarial of rob to the list of sanctions. they are responsible for the deaths of innocent people in ukraine and for trampling on the international system. and then we as europeans do not accept that, i'm in canada, the united kingdom and the united states have also decided to freeze the assets of

president putin and minister liberals. and so this is part of a co ordinated action. but one step further is being taken by the united states who has also imposed a travel ban on the pair following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with a european commission president ursula of underline. and an alignment with the decision by our european allies, united states will join them in sanctioning president putin and foreign minister love rob and members of the russian national security team. these sanctions, i'll expect to take trickle down and affect ordinary russians soaking here in the u . k and elsewhere in europe. russians are wondering what impact will have on them. and on the families back home, economists through should all things at barring brochure from the swift banking system would cause huge financial problems across the world. 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 opt the attempt to freeze russia out of swim was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up into the room b, m. and 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 they are multiple systems. bitcoin is already functioning to a degree like that. so this will be a very dangerous step because it will accelerate the end of the swift monopoly. now i would like to bring in some of the reaction on the ground from people across the world, showing the indignation with rushes, minute fraction in ukraine. this is nikki prospect in saint petersburg, which has become a focal point to the protests in recent days. right now there's a heavy police present, several people have been arrested as also radi taken place here in moscow. since the intervention started, demonstrators have been out on the streets in 50 different russian cities, around 2 and a half 1000 people have been detained. now another headlines that youtube has blocked access to all t videos in your frame. that softer several european countries took up all costs

off air. earlier on saturday, australian tv service folks sell a house that will no longer distribute ortiz you to the situation and ukraine. we heard earlier from ortiz deputy editor and she our teacher was tirelessly work to bring valuable facts and use to an audience really around the world. whether it was a government either call 4 or $430.00 to be taken off the air, it's simply highlights the policy of media freedoms in the nation. they were present to look at the association of your injury. analysts who i'm the one hand full price, declared themselves as the founders of journalists right yet, so readily turned back on the very founding principle to support the suppression of means. injury analysts under political pressure is every time to recognize the importance of all gathering news and understanding of all views is now folks. so i sent a letter to our t saying it ended distribution of a concern about the situation in ukraine. the shuttle added, it considers it has the right to do so under the license agreements with this

network. this comes with growing pressure on the charlotte to ashley or t has already been banned by parliament. national broadcasting council lapse off the russia began. it's but it reaction and ukraine, the british culture, 2nd free, is also calling to reconsider artes losses. in while even before the current crisis are opted. ortiz, german language says the channel or t, d. e was blocks in germany. a political analyst says, such moves are extremely warm. i've got a number of debates on our team, and i've discussed many times with people who dealt with my disagree on many opinions when a lot of people, i mean, so there are a lot of debates on a lot of different subjects. r t has brought people together from different different political horizons, have brought them to debate, to discuss some agree, some disagree. and that is the purpose of journalism. and that is the purpose of the media meant that people who are watching make their own opinion, art is not an ideology. it's a place where people can meet, discuss, debate on ideas. and that's fundamental. if we take that out or democracy is there is no more democracy. so it's extremely important,

maybe the mission down to be said stations, we have to find something on the internet. if it's the internet is close down, we have to find something else. it will be tough, these times are extremely tough. now, i don't know if they will get better, but we have to continue the fight for free speech. everybody is entitled to free speech or in our democracy. is this based on that? isn't that what we're taught, isn't that what's written in our constitution? we've got to fight for the right for to free speech. and i mean, we have access to all the media and that the people choose what is right and runs wrong. one of the headlines for this, our join us in 30 minutes for the latest updates on, on top stories, including of course, the difficult situation on the grounds in ukraine. we're working hard to verify all sides of the story. will information we are getting in to bring you the full picture join us again that ah.
