and, ah, ah, the criminal claims you find is refusing to negotiate on the military operation, and ukraine will continue. that's as an advisor to ukraine's president said kid is not happy with the conditions. russia is off for peace negotiation. now in the meantime, a source in russia defense ministry rejects allegations, the military hit, a residential towel block in ukraine's capital with both sides, blaming each other for the attack. meanwhile, artillery and gunfire is reported in the city. this kindergarten in one of the next districts is just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning. correspondent reports from the dorm bus complex zone were a kindergarten, us come under fire. fortunately, nobody was home with
4:01 pm
a russian cargo ship was intercepted by france and the english channel. that's awful. strict sanctions imposed by the local rushes, devastating military action if you credit a lot from oscar. thanks for joining us this evening or national. i'm daniel hawkins . where you are, welcome to the program. we are now getting reports of all salary and gunfire in the crate in capital of chia, all correspondent, the trunk who was in the studio earlier to give the latest updates. the rabbits or 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
4:02 pm
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 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 at 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 the in circles key of with the city center. and again, i'm looking at reports on ta graham candles,
4:03 pm
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 showed traffic and key of you know, how you usually see these green or red lines there. they're almost nonexistent. anymore because apparently the cars are not out in the streets. many, many people thank have left the capital. so definitely from that fighting the infrastructure, the residential areas as well. unfortunately, 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. well, russia is military action against you. crime is not what it's day. that says
4:04 pm
condemnation from most western states as it fever pitch, and comes more explosions are reported in ukraine's capital case. now these images show what appears to be a missile strike on a residential tower. but on the outskirts of the city, several floors have been damaged. it is unclear if there are any casualties. now russian defense ministry saw his claim. it was caused by miss l. god and failure in ukraine's defences. mckee f says the opposite. they are blaming the russian military for the strike. we spoke. so russian military expert, i need to give his take on the ukrainian military tactics defending history was the reason a lot of michelle guidance system of the grain onto this how complex and one surely gram media will represent this case as a russian attack. but it's a big according to their control,
4:05 pm
the track back and the nature of the damage. we can surely and then defy it as an anti miss out, but it is very difficult to establish serial number. but the from possible to identify that the main reason is that they are gray and forces on deploying our moments in the foreman conditions, directly threatening sylvia. this is the main problem our ukraine's capital officials arising residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. residents are also seeking safety in the cities metro stations. oh, elsewhere you train, listen. footage has emerged on line showing, fighting in the conical region which borders russia and the don bus plains have
4:06 pm
allegedly been flying over the city of buck, a layer of shots and powerful explosions of been heard. russian forces are reportedly destroy ukrainian army warehouses. now the credit in the president's office says, cheer is not satisfied with the conditions being offered by russia foresees for negotiations. that's all the criminal spokesmen claims. ukraine is refusing to hold talks and russia will continue. what it's of course describes as a special operation. they express again that the russian army will not target any civilian areas to read me on. 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,
4:07 pm
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 people living in the next people's republic. so are also being subjected to regular shutting attacks from the ukrainian side. this 3 story, residential building was largely destroyed and a bombardment on saturday. we spoke with a woman who was a resident of the building in taking pm and i still care. there was no window glass which we cover ourselves with. that was back in 2014 and the chest that now this happened with blue. i was near the entrance on. she's on cross of his interest with the latest on the stand off with the local militia forces and ukrainian army full about 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 hear those were 152 millimeter or harvard
4:08 pm
servers. so 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 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 in genetics, 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 nurse because the results of the ukrainian shelling of course of scores were
4:09 pm
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 her place a little bit earlier on saturday. and so this is the footage that i came back with . this kindergarten in one of the next 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
4:10 pm
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 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. roman catherine hearty donuts. while in elegance, people's republic, a massive fire has engulfed a fuel dipper. it was a huge explosion earlier with officials saying at least 200 tons of fuel of court light. it didn't specify what caused the blast with several injuries reported numbers so far though, our unclear now, according to the next republic officials,
4:11 pm
local militia, groups of taking control of settlements around the city of nikolai, after these rumors is from the region right now. you can see no screams they clings, have taken 2 territories on the way to mar you. full as well as naval i, rose russian defense ministry says ukrainian nationalist 5 is apparently a using truck mountain motors, a value on 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 or more of the latest pictures from the people's republic local forces can be seen moving through the area with support from the russian military. in the past few hours, they've taken several villages. well, let's take a look at the big picture now. marked in red and blue wellness, my father to don't bus republics where fighting broke out 1st 4 years ago, whether conflicts effectively began. now they're shown there according to their
4:12 pm
borders as recognize independently by russia. the defense ministries, justin, else, new developments saying logan sc forces of re taken territory from the fabian army and that goes beyond 46 kilometers beyond what was the contact line before then it's courses offered warmth by 10 kilometers. now, meanwhile, the ministry has also released the following video. me, the bullets shows being blown up by russian forces. it was actually built back in 2014 by ukraine. the block a can now that was supplying water to people in crimea. that's right, up to the region became a part of russia. now crime in residents have suffered severe water shortages as a result ever since. the ministry now says supplies will be restored in full. meanwhile, all appears to be common. sha noble exclusions around the remains of the nuclear
4:13 pm
power plants. of course, a lot of international concern about safety and security. 2 days ago was taken out . the control of rushing forces, now ukrainian, or russian troops on jointly keeping it secure. the facilities, safety personnel, who with that before the russian, when of reaction remain that they said it to be the levels are reported to be normal. or the, i mean, while the russian president vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army are apparently putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weapons invincible populated areas. 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 harko, 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 playing the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign
4:14 pm
consultants, primarily americans. that are here on the 1st time. and you can see a verified photo of the finding artillery squad in battle position in the middle, middle of the residential area. a russian defense ministry spokesman claims the russian side will not be drawn into provocations and will not attack heavy weaponry inside cities. meanwhile, ukraine and his scrap to age limits for all me entering and band all men between 18 and 60, from leaving the country as it increases manpower, to defend ukraine authorities. there also issuing guns to any citizen who was in the queue of region alone. it's reported around $10000.00 rivals were handed out to berlin, tears in the northern city of shouldn't off it's mary's calling on citizens to take up weapons generally shouldn't he? as she is most me fellow citizens of tourney. cough i have urgently address you. we need to prepare for fighting on the streets. that's why anyone who knows what i'm
4:15 pm
talking about. prepare a lighter fluid. another thing committed citizens. you guys, i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense. and of course, a desperate times call for desperate measures. thousands of ukrainian volunteers are signing up on collecting those rifles to defend the capital. we did speak earlier. those who form accounted sarah intelligence officer charles, she would, she says there are also risk through handling out farms to untrained civilians to give out weapons to anybody that offers to use them against somebody is probably quite a reckless odyssey sparks of desperation, of course. but where the problem comes when the weapons are given out freely a festival, you're given 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 off too old. i could be going to actually anybody at, once you introduce those weapons, a freely into an environmental theatrical,
4:16 pm
you kind of keep control of those weapons. i mean, while we're getting the pulls of shells allegedly falling in rushes, roasted frasier naughty donald corta is in the area. 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. they're interesting. 3 interestingly enough,
4:17 pm
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 russia, 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
4:18 pm
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? well, since began more than a 100000 people fled the don bus. republics, women, children, and the elderly have been transported to me by russian regions and also further south the republic of applause. yeah. we got some of that takes on 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
4:19 pm
considered a territory with no connection to anything. so we really wanted some kind of status for our homeland. 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 keisha. it was more terrifying than in 2014 was more showing more destruction. maybe they have more anger after food and recognized us. we've been waiting for this for a long time. a france is going to boost the supplies of ministry equipment to ukraine, that the same time western powers continue to parlor with sanctions against russia over its military action in ukraine. so for 10 years in countries have closed their space suit russian plains, there are also growing calls to cut the country out of the swift financial transactional system. but he shot at the whiskey has more all we heard on saturday from president mack on at some very great words. indeed, he said that the war in ukraine would last and that there would be consequences.
4:20 pm
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 you just heard from yoseph burrell. this is the used foreign affairs chief who 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 rowing fight they're at. now we also know that there is this are
4:21 pm
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 off the 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. and if there are new sanctions announced, also a very big u turn coming out of germany on saturday. and this is the fact that germany is now decided to send weapons to ukraine. it has
4:22 pm
a long standing policy of not sending armory to conflicts 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 e u countries deciding that they will ban russian aircraft from not just landing at their airports, but also from flying over their airspace. estonia, poland, lack fear, and others at 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 em. all member states within the european union to essentially caput, to eject their sporting links with russia at the swedish ban sporting minister saying that that would be the case as long as the invasion lasts. and just finally, on another separate issue,
4:23 pm
a russian cargo ship that was on its way to st. petersburg was seized earlier on saturday morning at by the french coast guards. it was taken to balloon soon now, which is the largest port in northern france. in fact, in france itself and the crew there 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. a. for the moment though, it has been seized, the crew are allowed to wander round, as they like. the russian embassy here in paris has sent a note to requesting information about what's happened to that cargo ship and says that it will do everything it can to protect the security of the crewman of that ab . for the moment, it will be up for a court to decide if that cargo ship remained seized, or whether it can go back on its journey towards saint petersburg. now, economists richard wolf claims that barring russia from the swift banking system,
4:24 pm
would cause huge financial problems across the world in a global world, more globally interconnected than ever before. if you blocked this with the 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 stop the attempt to freeze russia out of swift, was because it would throw the price of oil and gas up in the food 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,
4:25 pm
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. tends to bother you. now, yes, she was blocked access to want to videos in ukraine and disabled and one of his ation of audi channels. this comes off to several european states, took a broadcast offer. earlier on saturday, australian tv service foxtel announced that will no longer distribute our team due to the situation in ukraine. you heard from ortiz, deputy editor in chief. our teacher was tirelessly worked to bring valuable facts and use to an audience really around the world. what organizational government either call for or for us aren't you to be taken off the air. it simply highlights
4:26 pm
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 centers of journalist right yet. so readily turned back on the very founding principle to support the suppression of news and journalists under political pressure ever were time to recognize the importance of all gathering news and understanding the old use is now folk. so i sent a letter to on t saying it ended distribution. i have a concern about the situation and ukraine, the shuttle added. it's considers, it has the right to do so under the license agreement with this network on those they, poland made r t one a 5 russian channels to be taken off ab britton's, kansas secretary off regular were off. com to review the shuttle of license and before even the current crisis erupted, thought in german language system channel r t d e was blocked in germany. a political analyst that we spoke to said the situation set a dangerous precedent. i've got
4:27 pm
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 re, some disagree. and that is the purpose of journalism. and that is the purpose of the media meant the people who are watching make their own opinion. r t is not an ideology. it's a place where people can meet discussed 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 reset stations. we have to find something on the internet . if it's the internet is closed 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, in our constitution? we've got to fight for the right for to free speech, and that means we have access to all the media and that the people choose what is
4:28 pm
right and runs wrong. or those are the headlines for this. i will back in 30 minutes to bring in the latest on that tragic difficult situation on the ground in ukraine join us again for we would like to stop in join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah ah
