will remain in the shallows, ah, ah, a building out of europe largest nuclear power planting you. train is on fire with smoke seen rising high into the sky. although radiation levels are said to be normal. ukraine claims the plant was hit by russia types. all homes are caught in the crossfire in the la gowns can then yes, republics, following a battle between the ukrainian military and local militia forces. a 2nd round of peace talks has ended in belarus, both moscow and kiev agreed to setting up a few monetary and car doors for vacuum ease on the possible temporary cease fire to allow citizens to leave on. while the west continues with its indignation towards russia's actions that french journalist who's covered the conflict in

eastern ukraine for years, claims the ukrainian government has been targeting civilians in the dunbar region. they said that all of those people are ukraine, was showing, is also conducted by ukraine's. daphne k ah. across the clock around the globe, this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's unit o'neill. heavy fighting continues as russia's military offensive in ukraine enters a 9th day with europe's largest nuclear power plant reported to become a possible ground. let's look into that security camera footage circulating in the media show. smoke rising from that is parisha and nuclear plants with management at the site saying it was caused by a fire out on administrative building. radiation levels are said to be normal on

one of the power units has been shut down as a precaution, the international atomic energy agency, se ukraine has reported to up the fire hasn't affected any essential quippman se fire orders no reported up the scene. it is still unclear though what sparked the place. ukraine accuses russian tanks of shelling the plant. we have contacted the defense ministry in moscow for comments. russian troops earlier took control over the areas running the plant, although their facilities management said it remained fully operational. meanwhile, in the western ukrainian city of laval, volunteers have been building a bomb shelter in one of its parks. it's designed to hold around a 100 people. one of the workers explained what was going on. we are all in here and here, and we help in to clean the bomb shelter because the leaf is still not in danger,

but we have to be prepared for russian invasion. iverson change in one all or so. mom, explosion in keys. i live in santa, i live in peaceful district of c t a and it was immediately i understood that the order started, the injury is different. meanwhile, in the polish city of moscow, a school has been turned into refugee shelter as well. its headmaster stays that it will be able to chicken more than 20 refugees, although he appealed for more personal hygiene products. nappies at long life, food on the judges blankets. that's more and more refugees are going to the city which is located near the you creating order. the president of ukraine has one thing and asked for

a no fly zone to be set up over ukraine or from war fighter jets to be delivered. you also meet a passionate plea to flood him or putting while, claiming he didn't understand the security guard and tease moscow seeking. you're trained to give guy your storm of not me, and when you see me and still your bones, carly's come. when you dive young, my name was sad some way by godaddy. he would use well on the other side of the conflict in lieu guns, going to nest people's republics. residents continue to endure intense battles between the ukrainian military and local militia forces. we have received the footage of some of the damage and are lost in the don boss region we're showing this reported the cities mer, publish this video of a home hit during the fighting emergency services have been trying to restore at basic utility throughout the city like water and electricity.

we also got sent video from 2 villages in the luke gowns republic whose forces say they have taken control of a ukrainian army strong hold on a vehicle checkpoint local authorities claim ukrainian soldiers have not been forced out of more than 40 towns and villages in that dumbass ortiz maria for national fall list report from one of we are now driving closer to the frontline to the area, is that the army here called liberated areas. and it's completely different picture here we just left la guns. we arrived in the town of nova, i dar about a 100 kilometers north of logan's, just day off to the russian army. took it under their control. you can see doesn't look like there was any fighting here and we were told that's because the ukrainian army was not to actually resisting. they were abandoning their positions, living behind weaponry vehicles, armored vehicles,

and actually everything looks absolutely peaceful. yellow and blue ukrainian flags us tail everywhere. here for a tear is since key of launched it's counter terrorism operation against or it's worse than ukraine's eastern most regions of the nest and logan's. these town, as well as by the way, all the towns and villages in the area has been living under ukrainian rule. and we heard from locals. what was that like? see this one is cross. that means the run you rural us here will go to his appointment. well, of course, at 1st it was hard when ukraine came and then every one just got used to it. fighting his hardwood and the attitude. we've never been loved here cuz it was like to peer wrote him if you know at 1st one of my grandchildren who was 2 years old, kept saying grandma there boomy. i'm scared. well, i come him down. every one is scared, that it's very difficult time. we're worried about people on that side and the

other side and also worried for you were told that this is where her ukraine's security service headquarters were in this town. here's the ukrainian flag. as you can see, we're going to go check. they say it's in the basement. things are scattered all over the place and clear people were live in this place. in a hurry. this is where the office of the head of this little region used to be. locals used to call this building a white house, and there are signs here in ukraine, and he says, attention attention, attention about evacuation of local residents. you want to leave this place. they say there are buses leaving from central square every day at noon. yeah. and you could then for you, why would i leave my love? is it the cemetery here we help peaceful come here, tory because say that live, he's slowly coming back to this town. but military vehicles are the only wills i've

seen in this town. there are different forces fighting here on one side. this is the army of the republic of logan's. they're now going to the front line to rejoin with the russian army. these forces were advancing from different directions . now, when they meet, we can shakes path on the back. they will continue together. new if notional r t from the login's, quit public. another big statement of the day, moscow says ukraine is deliberately putting it civilian population that risk by using them as human shields. president putin made the same arts as security conference, not on the list, if you knew nazi sky for them, internationalists and neo nazi groups with foreign mercenaries in their ranks. also including those coming from the middle east, you citizens as human shields. i've already told you that there is solid evidence.

there are image is clearly showing them deploy military hardware in residential district, usually where you need. meanwhile, a 2nd round of peace talks wrapped up a number of hours ago in ballard roost with both sides agreeing to set up humanitarian corridors. with more details on what appears to be a significant development here, shortage constantine, ross, cough. russia and ukraine agreed on humanitarian quarters. they will be organized in urban areas effected by heavy fighting so that the civilians who found themselves stranded between the military could evacuate safely. both parties also agreed to deliver food and medicine to these areas, as well as the imposed limited and temporary cease fires that would only be maintained during the time when people are being evacuated. they had of the rush and delegation environment and he said that humanitarian issues were front and center during the meeting and also urged common ukrainians, who stuck in the war zone to use these passengers or he added do something so that

the fighting isn't necessary. it's paid to the ukrainian president who was present at the meeting, also welcome the fact that the 2 sides agreed on humanitarian corridors. however, he admitted that the 2 sides bo delegations had failed to reach any progress in other areas. it means that the fighting's in ukraine will continue, however, there is a way now for civilians to escape earlier moscow with hugh ski, if of using people in cities as human shields, by placing military hardware in residential areas. next to schools and hospitals, there will be a 3rd round of negotiations to firm up tonight's agreements and sort out their implementation. both sides agreed to meet up again in a couple of days. we also got the take on it is an interesting one of the former director general of the united nations office in geneva on the conflict currently playing out in your tree oldest like

negotiations for go spaces for report minister remain that much better to have 10 years of negotiations, one day of work, but history is inevitable, whether you would like it to not work in, in this case was there was no way actually lauren several times the publicly private dock and then misstatements that you have your grade. you read the aggression against that? yes. can lou lou course new russian response to russian population and we cannot tolerate. such an enemy

on board will will be used as a n d b, as in the semester during the politic and they're going to in whatever something else to bring you today. a french journalist has been criticized for claiming locals in the don bass region are being targeted by the ukranian government. and laura vanelle has been filming in the war torn eastern ukraine areas since 2015 and spoke about her experience what she experienced herself on her in front. second, you are dead and wounded. i filled them every day. i take photos every day, save us proof. i do not have any political message to express, but just so you know, this conflict has been widely discussed for a week, but it has lost it already a tears and caused the death of 13000 people. people are devastated all of them i

ukrainians, and they're extremely surprised that europe is now aware of the situation. all of the shelling, hiding and living in basement heavy artillery everywhere. i was filming this back in 2015. but i repeat, this has been going on since 2014, on the, on the bar. it's interrupt. not all of us know about the situation as much as you do that since you've been following for so many years. something you said, surprise him. he said that all those people are cranial people out in the showing is also conducted by ukrainian. definitely, this is something really important and somehow it's being ignored. presidents of the don't bass began to be targeted by their own government in 2014 russian speaking citizens fell victim to shelling by key of governmental. it's true, i have proof, i can show it as soon as i go back to france. i have a whole documentary. it's undeniable. it's only a showing is being carried out by russians where ukrainians you put the craniums, are showing where i am now. the ukranian government bombed it said,

since children had to live in basements for months, the film that i made in 2015 as proof of these crimes against humanity. i take responsibility for my words and urge you to watch it. the other day i was at the school teachers were hit by explosion. the bodies were called into applauded this photo facebook. i met elderly women who could not leave this area. civilians are falling victim to heavy artillery. rocket launches. i'm not very good with weapon, but i can confirm that here in the don't best in the russian speaking part, residential areas are still being show today. yesterday the net squared. and you think these bombings are being conducted by the central ukranian authorities. so yes, you know, report say the french president to money. well, my crown was left frustrated following a phone call. this landmark over rushes, actions in ukraine. according to the kremlin, the russian leader rejected the majority of my problems, arguments during a 90 minute conversation. charlotte dubin ski can tell us more,

the worst is yet to come. a very stock assessment by francis president on the situation in ukraine. now that followed yet another long phone call with his counterpart president putin, of the russian federation with an aide to macaroni, saying that apparently the french leader believes that putin is intent on seizing the whole of the country of ukraine. now, a french official also suggested that preaching told me that the war in ukraine was going to plan. but macklin was pretty blunt. when he told him that he was making a major mistake saying he was lying to yourself. it's understood that preaching continued to assert that russia is trying to demilitarize and to de not sci fi ukraine, but president michael was holding back very bluntly saying that ukraine wasn't a nazi regime. microns own assessment of the cool was pretty pessimistic. according

to this tweet, i spoke to president putin this morning. he refuses to stop his attack on ukraine at this point. it is vital to maintain dialogue, to avoid human tragedy. i will continue my efforts and contacts. we must avoid the worst, but corn is then said don't spoken to the ukrainian president so lensky, to say that he believed that the russian leader was determined to pursue a military operation right to the very end. now, following that cool between macklin and putin and elisa official also told reporters here in france that the country is thinking of toughening sanctions even more against russia. they said that the current sanctions 1st though needed to be evaluated and then that they would be complimented and the sanctions have already started to bite those who are here in france,

a c p. your belonging to one russian oligarch was seized by customs officials on the mediterranean coast. in other developments, ministers have also been meeting to approve for the very 1st time the use of the temporary protection directive. now it will give those refugees who are fleeing ukraine temporary protection, as it suggests. it will also mean that they'll get you residency and the rights that come along without residency access to health care and to education for a year. and that that will be able to be renewed. we manage to have a unanimous decision under temporary protection directive. there's never been used, even though it's been existing for 20 years. when this comes into force, everybody can have the protection directly. they can work. they're going to have their, they can have with accommodation. children can go to school. there will be no wasting

time here. and this is really, really important. now as you heard, there was height of has been a pretty major announcement, but there was some in the press room. the question whether actually this had been watered down. that's because the scope of the directive is actually a lot wider than what is being implemented. it is white enough to include giving those protections to food nation nationals. that means individuals from other countries who were working in ukraine or studying in ukraine, legally, who've also had to flee the country as a result of the war. however, the directive assets been enacted will need be a political ukrainians. now there's also a warning that won't be you is seeing an inflexible round $1000000.00 refugees in just one week alone. that many more could be on their way. you shouldn't be naive for the commission. a said millions of refugees will create challenges.

however, she believed that the e was in a much better position since the migration crisis in 2015 to ensure that those protections would be upheld. that least ukrainian citizens on the latter point with the e u showing a united sound sentence efforts to help you printing refugees, to hotel, being held fried to europe and around the world. that's russia's action in berlin. 5000 students out there say outside the bender, stag calling for peace, while in the bulgarian capital sophia, people celebrated its national de holding ukrainian flags. demonstrations also took place in london with those rallying carrying anti war banners at her father square . and in israel and dozens of protesters gathered as well to collect humanitarian aid for the ukrainian people. the athletes are cats and dogs are not a bond if they're from russia, some

u. s. politicians on social network users are like, have bluntly said there are simply no innocent russians that says anti russian history are provoked by the seems coming out of ukraine has become well. busy a new reality, the shutdown of picks up the story for us. an avalanche of sanctions is hurling down upon russia and as foreign powers. hopeful every next glow to knock moscow called smaller private entities are also doing everything to chin and in their bid, trying. being so eager to join the frenzy, some via into strayed burlesque territory. for example, russian cats are being found over russia's actions and ukraine use it to the is of dog lovers, but no, russia, boone, dogs are being banned from participating in kennel exhibitions. literally nothing living is safe. a russian tree has been banned from competing for the tree of the

year award, which apparently exists and russian culture hasn't escaped the punishment either a college in italy cancelled a class on gusty asking, but backtracked after this. and the closer on what is happening in italy is ridiculous. not only being a living russian is wrong in italy to day, but also being a dead russian who was sentenced to death in 1849 because he read a forbidden thing. the fact that an italian university would ban, of course, on and also like dostoevsky is unbelievable. and now the list of companies boycotting russia is updated every minute from tech giants, to ikea, shutting down and stores and showrooms to lego. to movie companies, cancelling its russia releases. russian athletes have been ostracized to, including the paralympics law committee has changed its own decision and suspended russian and by the russian athletes from taking part in the games. thus, despite the olympic truce, where the principles of unity were proclaimed,

we believe decision is politicized discrimination against our athletes. such a blanket and indiscriminate approach is cheered by officials. every russian is a pariah, according to a now deleted suite, by a former us ambassador to moscow. there are no more innocent neutral russians any more. every one has to make a choice support or oppose this war. the only way to end this war as if 100 thousands, not thousands protest against this senseless war food and can't arrest you all. and while many certainly like this and share that i was didn't, this is the us ambassador to russia, echoing the ideology of terrorists like isis and al qaeda, this fascist idea that there are no innocent people leads to terror attacks on civilians. imagine if people said this about americans after the u. s. wars on iraq, afghanistan, libya, et cetera. been latins argument for why us civilians were legit targets was they

choose their leaders and us are responsible for their acts. that was widely and accurately viewed as reprehensible, even more odd to claim putin as a totalitarian dictator. but all russians are guilty. there are no innocent russians. does this mean that every american citizen can be held responsible for the crimes of our own government? now, careful now, that's how been lot and justified the $911.00 attack, russia hysteria is beyond parity state. the lines that the west it seems, is running out of moves. well there's, there's a war hysteria going on. so therefore, there's a, there's a desire to, to punish all things russian. michael mcfaul, the former us ambassador to russia says that that for russians are guilty, they don't distinguish between governments and peoples. if the russian government

does something that they don't like, they tend to blame all russians for higher law. whether that, whether they're in government or not. so that's a new kind of cancel culture. definitely just nationalism running wild and nationalism is a very ugly force. it's done, it's a 1st cousin to racism. it targets all russian indiscriminately. it strikes out blindly, its ignorance. i think it'll lead to an intensification of the crisis. the more this, the, the more the government succeeds and, and drumming up this kind of hysteria, this kind of blind hatred, the more public support it will have for, for ramping up hostilities against russia for supplying the ukraine with arms. and maybe even getting involved in the war itself. another aspect to touch on today, despite claims by western politicians,

not the crippling sanction slammed on russia won't effect ordinary people. the international counselors, specialists network on cooler and separate all cooperation with russian doctors. i have solid charity with ukraine, the world health organization. needless to say, less counselor as a leading cause of death worldwide. encore alert is in network of colleges whose comments stated goal is to end the disease. nevertheless, a recent social media post shows they will now be helping to do them in russia. that of the russian presidential council for human rights believes no matter the circumstances. people's health should always be kept outside of politics. this is some kind of revenge, not just on the country of russia. it's revenge on cancer patients who live in russia. this is beyond good and evil. and despite the decision by uncle alert, leading russian on colleges under capron say's russian doctors are still

cooperating with many other international organizations, missouri skirts. we cannot say it's a wide spread story. we maintain relationship with the largest and best known uncle logical organizations. and we haven't felt any deterioration in our relationship yet. of course we hope that this will not happen. moreover, i believe the on co alerts organization will return to corporation with us and reason will prevail in soviet times we will isolated for a very long time. and yet we had excellent medicine, some of the best doctors, none of us are insured from ending up in a sick bed. no one is protected from cancer, not even doctors. that is why there should be no politics. hale. yeah, on a related theme, as the situation ukraine shows, little sign of abating the west is actively trying to put pressure and major allies that have remain neutral towards rushes, actions, or are still cooperating with moscow. indifferent feel of this go through. what we mean here at washington is tightening the screws on india after rush it said

delivery of it said, man's s $400.00 missile defense systems to new delhi was still likely to go ahead despite the situation in ukraine. the biden administration is therefore now considering imposing sanctions on india. we got the take of an indian journalist who feels washington's action. sure. it doesn't want to have equal partners, rather junior ones is not a rational state of the united states. we can have that confluence of interest, you know, including strategic interest. but we cannot have that between the and the u. s. and alignment now alignment, the sense of india trying to align its interest with those of us that is suggesting that india do so, use an encroachment on to the sovereignty of this country. and it also proves,

and the general assumption we have of our countries that want to be friends with the united states that united states wants that uni apartments, not equal partners, but that's not going to work within the. and i think if it's going to push too hard, it's not going to be just get lost, but also that of the united states. because india and trained the region that share a lot of strategic interest with the united states. when the list of companies down either turn their backs on russia, ritz military, offensive, or imposed punishing sanctions against the country is growing by the de western brands they are abandoning the country. apo h a. m. nyc. they are among the mega browns founding imports of their goods to russia. another one, the world famous furniture store ikea is hugely popular among russians under moscow . long queues formed sides towards

a day before old sales were suspended. despite the fact, the decision to quit, russia will hurt financially many companies have seemingly concluded. the reputation and risk is too great to contain. meanwhile, the russian prosecutor general's office house demanded access to the at websites to liberal media outlets not happening. critical of the country's military offensive on ukraine to be blocked. the sites are for tv channel rain, which is already classified as a foreign agent, as well as the radio station echo of moscow. authorities claimed they were publishing false information about the actions of the russian army in ukraine. also on thursday, the russian foreign ministry stated the b, b. c, was trying to undermine the internal political situation and security in russia. a response from london, if forthcoming is likely to reject that are right to do so. stay with us for an explainer of why dunbar and eastern ukraine turned into one of

the most volatile places on the planet in 2014. and while residents continue to fear the future, ah ah, the massive sanctions war against russia is having a profound impact on the global economy instead of just punishing russian citizens . consumers in the west and the developing world will also experience economic pain . globalization itself is being interrupted. the great separation is upon us.
