me the moscow claims ukraine is refusing to negotiate on the military operation will continue as an advisor to you claims. the president says here is not satisfied with the conditions. russia is offering for priest negotiation. meanwhile, a source in russia defense ministry rejects allegations, the military hit, a residential talbot, can you claim capital with both sides blaming each other. meanwhile, artillery and gunfire is reported in the city. this kindergarten in one of the net districts is just one of the places that was shelled on a saturday morning. correspondent reports from the dawn by conflicts on were a kindergarten has come under fire. fortunately, nobody was hurt in the incident with the russian cargo ship is intercepted by

france in the english channel. that's all the district sanctions imposed by the you over russia is devastating. what it reaction in ukraine the law from moscow. thanks for joining us. this our on our team to national i'm daniel hawkins river. you are welcome to the program. now we're getting reports. saw was hillary and gunfire in the ukrainian capital kia joining me in the studio is ortiz with franco for the latest or online senior. i think everyone is shocked on, in disbelief to see russian military force is on the outskirts of kiff about to potentially enter the ukrainian capital. what's the latest from kia? well, let me just a break down for you. first of all, walk key of is and where we are now trying to get the information from care of. like you said, of course the capital v, great, biggest city,

almost 3000000 inhabitants. thank god, most of them have been evacuated from the city. most of them have fled the city now and if you look at the maps, for example, that show traffic, usually valuable cds read for green lines at all. because cars simply don't pass by or ride along the streets of key of any more what we can make our assumptions from our the average of videos they're being filled by the very few sit in that remain in the city and also announcements by city officials vitaly click go, the mayor of key of is saying that the russian forces have not entered the city yet . but judging from unverified videos that we're getting from parts of the city, supposedly there is already heavy fighting inside the city halfway towards the city center from the highway that encircles

a key of i want to make sure that these that you realize that there's videos we cannot verify because we're not there on the ground, but instead of just seeing gun fire. in this footage, we can already see crossfire, which supposedly seems to be artillery fire. this is how serious it is getting in kiev. we don't know anything about the numbers of casualties. what i can also say for sure is that when night falls on key of previous the, the footage that we were getting from the outskirts, supposedly we didn't see the high rise buildings there. that was when we didn't see much of the russian army hardware. now we can see the hardware again, but mostly these videos come from outside the capitol, inside the capitol. we don't see the hardware anymore. this is my impression that i'm getting from amateur videos on verified videos. i want to specify that once

again. so there are a few conclusions that we can make, but we will try and be able to get the information that's more accurate and that's more secure. now we have seen how moscow has explained its minute fractions in ukraine. we've seen the totally on surprising vocal condemnation from western powers or brushes attractions as well. i don't think either people on the ground in ukraine or russia want to see this continue. they want to stop to this bloodshed and sees far as soon as practically possible and understand that both the risk improves and help in discussing, sitting out the negotiated table in one form or another. what is the latest on the potential of those negotiations? while the talks between the 2 leaders were discussed as a possibility mostly on friday night. however, ever since then,

we begin to realize that now the chances that they happen in the near future are very, very slim. because judging from the rhetoric that we're hearing from the cranium leader, board members, lensky. he hasn't changed its tactics because we were hearing calls in russian that he made on friday to try and persuade bodamer potent to sit down and talk. what mr. dr. sky has been talking about lately, were his so to say a chief men in the begging of the european leaders for help. we been hearing how, for example, according to mr. zalinski, the european leaders now have a consensus for cutting russia off the swift banking payment system. although, i do want to stress that this has not yet been confirmed by any european leader.

for example. plus, for instance, mr. lensky is talking about restrictions for russian ships by turkey. let's listen to some of the things he said in his latest works. diplomats fought around the clock to get all the countries of europe to agree on a very strong and fair decision to cut russia from the international enter bank system. i think, to our friend, air go on for his unfailing support of our independence and territorial integrity. and agreed with him that today it is extremely important to band the passage of russian warships to the black sea, leave them on it. now this could be an indication that the cranium government at this point is no longer interested in immediate talks with the russian government. however, they were showing willingness for that on friday. like i said before, now i just want to move on to what we heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf, who actually said that keith have decided to reject proposals for togs and they're

refusing to negotiate right now. now there was this other comment that we heard from a representative of the cranium president's office, who said that currently kiev isn't willing to accept the terms that are being put forward before these potential negotiations could start. so really conflicting information, but by the looks of it, there are no chances that any kind of talks of between the 2 leaders could start any time soon. however, we heard from a number european countries of european countries such as hungry, for example, officer by john bel, roost at the ready to serve as a piece brokers. so these talks could, could potentially happen. and beauty passed in men's possibly but cool. we know that turkey is being involved here as well, but for now it isn't very much fruit,

i guess. yeah, indeed, so much concern from all across the world about what is going on right now in ukraine and millions of people hoping that those talks come soon rather later that this will come through. and thanks for that, he let the trunk of small rushes, military action in ukraine is now in its 3rd day. that says condemnation from most western states has hit fever pitch and comes of course, more explosions, a report and a new cranes capital key of these images show what appears to be a missile strike when a residential town block came on the outskirts of kia, now several floors have been damaged, it's unclear if there are any casualties. russian defense ministry sources say it was caused by mis olive garden failure in ukraine's, that offense or some that's according to the russian side. t if says the opposite, that this was a russian missile strike. now, a russian military expert gave us his views on the tactics of the ukrainian armed forces using in defense of the capital. the reason failed

all miss l guidance system of a grain onto this complex. and one surely gram media will represent this case as a russian attack. but there's a big according to that country, the track back and the nature of the damage. we can surely identify it as an anti miss weapon. it is very difficult to establish a serial number, but possible identified. the main reason is that they are gray and forces on deploying our moments in formal conditions, directly threatening syria. this is the main problem. now when you cranes, capital officials arising residents to take refuge in bomb shelters of people are

also seeking safety in the cities metro station. oh, now this unverified to put it shares emerged on line showing, fighting in the car coff region which borders russia and the don by the claims of actually been flying over the city of caliah and short some powerful explosions up in heard russian forces of reportedly the strong, ukrainian army warehouses. now the training president's office says care if he's not happy with the conditions being offered by russia foresees for negotiations. but softer moscow claimed ukraine is refusing to hold talks on russia will continue . what it of course describes as a special ministry operation. they claimed, again that russia in the army is not targeting any civil areas. 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. now people living in a don't ask people's republic so being subjected to shelling, attacks from the opposing side. now this 3 day, the 3 story ra residential building was largely destroyed of bombardment. earlier on saturday, we spoke to a resident who lived in the building with them and i still care. there was no window glass which shattered we covered at our south. that was back in 2014 the chest. now this happened with blue. i was near the entrance while he's roman

custody of his in the ask with the latest on a stand off between the local militia forces and the ukranian army. pull about 7 pm local time we heard so really allows sounds of artillery here in jeanette scanned from the reports that we're getting from the officials. i here are, those were $152.00 millimeter or a harvard service 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 6 kilometers from a where i'm standing a right now. as the results 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 a shelling. 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 had been damaged and as a result, thousands of people are now without electricity or without access to any water. now several buildings, 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 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 next district since just one of the places was shelled on saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. 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 point the camera. this way. right next to begin kindergarten thankfully was done overnight. no kids were here. no teachers, i saw nobody was hurt. but you can take a look all around me. this is 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 network is being shelled throughout the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on cost for a hearty donuts. while an elegance,

people's republican, massive fire, hasn't golf to fuel depot. there was a huge explosion. earlier officials are saying at least 200 tons of fuel as cold fire, they couldn't specify what exactly caused the bloss several injuries have also been reported numbers so far on clear. now, according to the officials from the next republic, cr local militia, groups of taking control of settlements around the city of nicholas. these are images from the location. they also claim to have taken 2 territories on the way to mario pole, as well as naval or roads. russian defense ministry says ukrainian nationalist fighters are using truck mountain motors on the bridge. the nationalist battalions use so called ben derrick 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. while more of the largest pictures from

a donor people's republic, local forces can actually be see moving through the area with support from the russian military. in the last few hours, they've taken 3 villages every time looking at the broader picture here, the marks in red and blue, there are the 2 dumbass republic. so that's of course, where the conflict began quite some time ago. they're marked by their borders as recognized independently by russia. the russian defense ministry has just announced new developments. they've said, look out, forces of we've taken territory from the ukranian army, 46 kilometers beyond what was the contact line before. don't ask. forces of advanced by 10 kilometers. meanwhile, the ministry has released the following video. me. well, let's what it shows down being blown up by russian forces. it was constructed back in 2014, while ukraine to block a canal supplying water to residents of crimea. that's why the reason became part

of russia now crimea residents have suffered severe water shortages as a result of that. the russian defense minister, though says surprise, will now be restored. i mean, while lot of concern, of course, surround the fighting around the noble for my nuclear power plant. so the exclusion zone that area now remains calm. it was taken 2 days ago, one of the control of russian forces russian troops are now there alongside ukrainian guards jointly keeping it secure. the facilities, safety personnel continue to serve their radioactivity levels are reported to be normal. or the meanwhile, the russian president vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army or power putting civilian lives risk by deploying heavy weapons in densely populated area. i mean, if you're not, the ukranian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons,

including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large cities, including key f and hark of they plan 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 use that you know, here on the 1st image, you can see a verified photo of ukrainian artillery squad, ready to ready to fire in the middle of a residential area. a russian defense ministry spokesman claims the russian song will not be drawn into provocation. the sun will not be attacking heavy weaponry inside cities. now, meanwhile, ukraine has scrapped age limit for army entry and also banned all men between 860, from leaving the country. ukrainian authorities are also seeing guns to any citizen who wants them. in the case of region alone, it's reported more than $10000.00 rifles were handed out to volunteers. and in the

northern city of shutting off its mayor was calling on citizens. take up weapons. you shouldn't see me 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 that we spoke on at charles schubert is a former counterterrorism intelligence officer about the actions of the key of government handing out weapons to civilians to defend their capital. he says there are also risks to simply hunting out forums to untrained civilians to give out weapons to anybody that offers to use them against somebody is probably quite a wreck as part of it. smacks of desperation, of course. but the 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

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, i freely into an environment as yet will you kind of keep control of those weapons . now, meanwhile, we're getting reports of shells reportedly falling and rushes. roster region ortiz don't quota is in the area. now. luckily nobody was injured. infrastructure wasn't damaged to either 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 there. interesting. interestingly enough, more recently, near belgrade region, a ukrainian soldier had been trying to escape to the russian at 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 ra stove 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 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 they're going to put them so that they can make sure to continue their education. now since the conflict started, more than $100000.00 people have fled the dumbass republics, women, children, and the elders have been transported to nearby russian regions. and also for the south, for the republic of a year. we heard from some of those about the current situation. 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 and 2 hours and we were sent to ab kasia. it was more terrifying than in 2014, more showing more destruction. maybe they have more anger after food and recognized us. we've been waiting for this for a long time. western powers continue to portland with sanctions against russia over its military action in ukraine. so for tenure repeating countries of clothes, the rest base to russian plains, there are also growing calls to cut the country out of the swift financial transaction system. we've done cross lab now while he started to miss he in paris. charlotte, thanks for coming on the line that just tell us a little more about what you repeat. lead is, have been saying in response to russia's actions.

all we heard on saturday from president mack gone at some very grave words. indeed he said that the war in ukraine would last and that there would be consequences. now. macklin has been meeting with his defense council ministers on saturday. we're waiting to find out what was agreed on if anything in that defense counsel. but we did hear from the elisa palace earlier on saturday, saying that frances main objective, when it comes to the situation in ukraine, is to avoid the collapse of the country. and to be able to negotiate a ceasefire, that is something it says, it is still pursuing between russia and ukraine. now there are the possibility of further sanctions that could be announced by the e u. we just heard from yoseph burrell. this is the used foreign affairs chief who

has said that he's going to convene a meeting tomorrow on sunday in the evening of foreign affairs ministers. and the suggestion is that there will be a new package of emergency assistance put forward for ukraine in his words, to support the her ro it fight there. now we also know that there is this are pushed by certain countries in the you to try and ban russia from using the swift international payment system. the polish prime minister was in germany today, specifically to push for this after hungry and cyprus. both said that they would back such measures. i came here to chancellor all off shore to shake consciences to shake the conscience of germany. so that they finally decide to impose really crushing sanctions. and it seems that that has worked because germany appears to be capitulating when it comes to this. it says it's working on a way to limit the collateral damage. if such

a disconnect happens when it comes to these international payments. so that could be something that russia faces next a, if there are new sanctions announced. also a very big you turn coming out of germany on saturday. and this is the fact that germany is now decided to send weapons to ukraine. it has a long standing policy of not sending armory to conflict owns this is what the german chancellor had to say. it is our duty to do our best to help ukraine defend against the invading army of putin. we've also seen more and more you countries deciding that they will ban russian across to not just landing at their ports, but also from flying over that space. estonia, poland, lot fewer and others piling in to say that they will not allow that to happen from now on an, in

a further blow to russia. we know that sweden is now pushing for all member states within the european union to essentially caput, to eject the sporting links with russia. the swedish sporting minister saying that that would be the case as long as the invasion lost. and just find me on another separate issue, a russian cargo ship that was on its way to saint petersburg, was seized earlier on saturday morning by the french coast guards. it was taken to below ensue matter, which is the largest port in northern france. in fact, in france itself and the crew that have been allowed to disembark, apparently it was seized as a result of the fact that the owning company of that cargo shift is on the list of sanction companies in the u. s. for the moment though, it has been seized, the crew are allowed to wander around,

as they like. the russian embassy here in paris has sent a note requesting information about what's happened to that coca ship and says that it will do everything it can to protect the security of the crewman of that. but for the moment, it will be up for a court to decide if that cargo ship remains seized, or whether it can go back on its journey towards st. petersburg show. they've been skiing parents that thanks very much for that update. now, economists, richard wolf claim that barring russia 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 an opt. the attempt to do free is russia out of swim,

was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up into the room, the amount 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 will be a very dangerous step because it will accelerate the end of the swift monopoly as well. let's take a look at now. some of the anti war protests are spreading across russia against

the military action in ukraine. this isn't if the prospect in st. petersburg is becoming very much focal point of the protests in recent days. right now that the heavy police presence with several people arrested is also run a taken place in moscow writing here in the capital. now, since the intervention began, demonstrators have been out on the streets in 50 different russian cities. nearly 2 and half 1000 people have been arrested. the purchase of course, have also taken place in multiple countries in cities across the world. and those are the headlines for this our here in our teams. national thanks for thing with us . we're back in 30 minutes with the very latest ah.
