i'm in hungary.d my parents are watching. i was raised here, very aware because my grandparents lived under communism, what the alternatives were. >> as i have been reporting, hungary in recent times has not had the best record with refugees, including those from syria. they're doing better right now and i have a lot of imagery of the police here who are helping a lot of these families because they're all coming with lots of children. each mother generally has a couple of children with her if not three children and we are watching these police help them. they are doing a kind job. these european nations want to be helpful. but boy, this is a sticking point. the idea of energy sanctions on russia. hungary in particular has said we will not take part in that. they'd veto if if they said they were going to sanction russian energy exports. >> ali, the hungarian situation is more complicated because the prime minister there who as he said, presides over an ill liberal democracy, which means not really a d

i think we have rallied together and the fact that you are in hungary, hungary which is welcoming some refugees tells me that the west is united. but we have to do more. it is a good idea to avoid a hot war with russia in ukraine. and i think that the u.s. position on the no-fly zone, sad as it is, it is the right position. but let me put out there four more things that we should be doing. one, we should rally a worldwide tech army to tell the truth to the russian people. this is not so hard. we've got the resources in the world to do this and once they learn the truth, i think things will change on the ground for putin. number two, we have to stop all energy imports. speaker pelosi, i'm sure will say this on the call with zelenskyy in another hour, but we have to toughen up and do this other wise a hot war in europe and three we have to back channel better with china. president xi in my view doesn't want an embarrassing leadership in russia doing this to the world, it will not help his plans for future. and four, we would roll in batteries, trash trucks, with anti-missile batteries on

hungary is second in this stranue there? hungary is second in this strange league _ there?gue table _ there? hungary is second in this strange league table with - there? hungary is second in this| strange league table with poland really, now 120,000 people, close to that, crossing into hungary, and the single biggest number have crossed here at tiszabecs. 27,000 so far since the conflict began. in this particular primary school where i'm standing, this has a turnover of about 3000 people per day it is my second day here, and one gets used to, during the course of the day, talking to so many people and even getting to know some names. but the turnover is such that when we came back this morning, most of those people had already moved on so there is quite a fast turnover. it does not feel like a fast turnover as people sit around all day and wait but they are all being taken on in a very efficient way to other cities in hungary or even beyond, to vienna, prague. also... just some disturbance going on in the background there. but the stories here that we are hearing from diffe

i'm ali velshi in hungary on the ukrainian border.s a family that arrived there. they have bags of their stuff. it is remarkable to see entire families literally with only what they could carry, that is the fate about a refugee, you make choices about what you could take with you and what you have to leave behind. and you only bring the essentials. every refugee i spoke to in budapest said the same thing, the choices they had to make and there you have a family because you can't move around with this stuff. you're dependent on public transportation and the charity of others. it is a humanitarian crisis an that is what we're following. those people are on the hungary an side and the border is over there and the ukraine is on the other side and police are patrolling the area and they are approaching that family. the police have been around here to make sure people aren't hanging around, even though they're trying to get food to refugees, the police are assuring this doesn't become a gathering place like' saw allison barber at in poland.

hungary is saying none of those. what they are really hoping for is people who comear in here, transit through somewhere else, in poland you go to warsaw to getgo to an airport to go somewhere else that you know people. same thing in pude pest. you got an airport that by the way, another one of these bosses that we've been talking about, this is the first one, since daylight, a bus coming s in, wi the refugees, that they're going to drop off here, to get aid. and at the moment, they're mostly going through. people i talked to are looking to get budapest and get on a plane and go somewhere else, particularly those who were noncitizens of ukraine. but for the moment, there's no plan. you're right, it could be four, five million people. the u.n. hcr says it is probably bigger than the numbers we're talking about already because people don't account for the people who get off the bus. one u.n. hcr guy here, maybe he gets some, maybe he doesn't. we know it is not slackening up. it isng getting more serious. >> we'll have

hungary.re asking for nato intervention to start an air war of arms supplies. however, we are not ukrainians. we are not russians, we are hungarians to the question. whose side is hungary on? the answer is this hungary is on the side of hungary for a whole month on tv in europe only ukraine is true without donbass correspondents there european channels they didn’t send for 8 years, and even now reports, they don’t use them from there, are of great interest. the editors. this appeal to the president of italy was recorded by a giorjunca journalist, one of the only ones who has been working on bass for a long time , while editing the latest footage from mariupol, the western press is lying, broadcasting a fake. fake tv. you just need to turn it off, to find out the truth you need to come to donbass for a walk. watching him sitting on the couch , italians, germans, austrians, and ukrainians who didn't know what was about to happen were drawn into they are controlled by a lunatic who do not control

well, welcome to hungary.as she was coming on when we were in the commercial break. she seemed excited. we were the first people that she had seen and she had a look on her face that sort of said what you imagine one would say when they come across the border. that is the border with ukraine. this is not a train station or bus station. these are people being driven to the ukrainian side and sometimes they're meeting people and you've probably seen busses that are picking people up, but you can see a constant movement of cars. we have seen a few families on foot. that's the first time i've seen that, a woman with her children carrying virtually nothing, and unfortunately, my language skills are such that i could establish what she was saying, but sometimes you don't need the language. you can just sort of see the looks on people's faces and the look on that woman's face as she came across and made eye contact with us. remember, that's the border back there. so if you walk in through the border you don't see any

hungary gets the next biggest chunk. it is civil society and citizen run in hungary.mmission for refugees, there's the red cross and church groups. and we have met a lot of individuals, people who -- of their own accord, they are coming, bringing food, offering accommodation. a lot of people are coming to hungary to get to budapest to get on an airplane to go somewhere elsewhere they have friends or family. there's transportation arranged for them. so hungary as a country is not getting the immigration stuff. it hasn't for some time, especially as it relates to refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants. they did a particularly bad job of this with the syrian migrants who had come in. they are doing a better job of it, largely because the eu has a coordinated response where they will take these people in and give them temporary protected status, where they can get residency and work permits. so hungary has grudgingly agreed with that. it's not in keeping what the prime minister believes and running on. but the people of hungary have been organizing these efforts, and on t

the brilliant hungarian pianist andras schiff, he says he will not return to hungary, not play in hungaryis prime minister. do you understand that position? andras is a very, very good friend and i have great, great respect for him. i personally don't do what he does, i go back regularly, ijust came today from budapest. and i can tell you why i do that, because there are so many people who need our music there and we have a very large following and i can see in their eyes how much they need music. and this is what we provide, and it gives me pleasure to simply make music for people. before we end, i want to get you to consider the future. you have said that the symphony orchestra, the very idea of it, has to continue constantly to evolve and develop, or it will simply become a museum. you are still full of energy and creativity, so where are you taking the idea of the orchestra and classical music next? i think a symphony orchestra must reform in order to survive. i would go even further, the danger is not that an orchestra becomes a museum, the danger is that an orchestra dies out like t

but there are also millions of kids displaced inside hungary.own in shelter leer in lviv. earlier today i was walking around the city meeting children and families. it felt like you could be anywhere in the world. walking in the park, walking their dog and then the air raid sirens go off and we have to come down here. the kids know what to do when they hear the sirens. they drop what they're doing, they find their parents and they head for the shelter. this is one of the safest parts of the country. people are coming from elsewhere where the fighting has been so much more severe. we've seen them come under attack. >> i was speaking to a member of parliament a few days ago who had left kyiv for a couple days before the curfew and had gone to visit her 9-year-old son in western ukraine. as soon as she greeted him, he was describing how at school they listened to air raid irens and they know to go into a bunker. he was 9. that's got to be scarring for kids. >> it is. the physical wounds are obviously huge. in terms of the effect this is having, it'

so far, more than 190,000 across the border to hungary. in hungary. it is just about 4 am here. most people are sleeping. but i was able to write through a reception area where people from across the border, including families in the young children, could go across the border. . take a look. >> this is the buffet, the place where people who are staying here to come over from ukraine have food. there is an office where they were and there -- we see some people going in their, they get registered, their needs are determined even on the wall of the buffet here you can see train lines, there are routes that indicate where we are and where you can go in hungary or in europe. now, when the refugees get here there is a waiting room over here. and i don't really want to go in right now because it's quite late at night and there's some people sleeping in there, but it's a warm space in which people can rest. there are beds, twin beds, that are in there. there are some people who are lying across several chairs that have been put together. and then,

including this country, hungary.rab and african refugees who came here seven years ago. but, most of the world's refugees are not, welcome not welcomed with open arms. between the civil society organizations, the non governmental organizations, who operate in places like this to provide them with immediate needs. now, maybe this one is different, because, like those trying to escape afghanistan last, year we are watching a televised humanitarian crisis unfold before our eyes. it's much easier to care about something you can see. over the last week, i've witnessed some of the most heartbreaking scenes that i've ever had a chance to witness. i've had some of the most heart wrenching conversations with my career. what stands out, for me, are three things. the cruelty that we continue to show one another, conversely, the kindness that were able to show one another, was strangers helping strangers and, finally and most importantly, the strength of the human spirit. the will that these brave people have, to survive. and on

where is this from hungary or hungary as already the territory of a part of transcarpathia, finally, to protect hungary has the right to protect the hungarians, of course, for example, the minister said that they will protect the russians who live, i will return, because there is one more thing, romania left also said that against embarrassment. with what fright? that is, the romanians, as they played on two fields, they will play. what good did they see from you? why as they look at our onion at our draft federation europe must support you, that's who you need some kind of win. so it turns out that zelensky teaches the whole of europe and every burger looks, when the president, who has become a burger, of course, looks and thinks. yes, i must now, when you tell him, hear when the beast. wait on russian gas transit when the dumbass started scoring germany he took austria to everyone else, of course, as a policy he did a bad thing, because he played against the interests of ukraine, because he is normal, he requires sanctions for not closing the transit through his land. and transit i

and anchor ali velshi in budapest, hungary. give us a sense of how fierce and broad this fighting is across ukraine. >> reporter: the fighting is fierce, and it's terrifying. we're starting to hear from some of the political heads who are in charge of these regions in the north and far south. let's just toss that map up. as i think about this here on the ground, it's like russia has opened up a two front north. there's this area in the north, there are at least five towns that have been under heavy bombardment for more than 24 hours where civilians have been unable to free or move. there is no power, water or heat. so you have civilians trapped where there is heavy fighting but the conditions are becoming brutal. in the south, you have this move by the russians to push out from crimea, to connect a land bridge clearly from that city of kherson, the first city to fall, to mariupol, which we are also hearing the fighting is heavy. it seems as though there's a bit of reality, setting in on the ground here. we crossed that horrible

i am outside of a train station in hungary tonight. as you can see, trains coming, and going, and this is where ukrainian refugees have been lining up, to board the trains to budapest, for any other destination on the departure. incidentally, this train is headed towards ukraine. there are some people who are heading back, and i will explain to you why that is happening, a little later in the show. most people, the overwhelming majority of them, and here to get as far away from the war that displace them. it's three in the morning here. 24 hours per day. fair warning that you can hear from last night, you may hear some background noise, or announcement over the loudspeaker, over the course of the hour tonight. it is in odessa in ukraine, and they are called the potemkin stairs. there is a grand entrance for the center of the city, and the top of the stairs is a monument. a statue of the duke, the founder of the city. it is the first monument, ever built in odessa. ukraine's third largest city. it has been there since the 1800s. here is

this hour, i am in barren charade, hungary tonight. right on the edge of hungary where refugees continue to stream across the border. the united nations said today that more than 2 million ukrainians have fled for neighboring nations like hungary to escape the war and the violence of russia's rained on their country for 13 straight days now. half of the 2 million refugees are believed to be children, which is consistent to what i have seen in the several days that i've been here on the border. but millions more remain in ukraine. pendant by the constant threat of russian shelling and missiles. sky news is alex crawford brings us this report tonight from a small village outside kyiv. sma>> they know all about civilians being attacked here. the small village community just south of the ukrainian capital has been torn apart by russian bombs. almost an entire street disappeared in an instant. three children and three adults were killed, devastating their families and the whole neighborhood. the explosions have left a deep burning anger, an

hungary does continue to take an ukrainian refugees. now more than 157,000 other than 1.5 million, according to the un commission for refugees, about half a mile from here, one mile from there, is a river. it's a border crossing. and on -- a baptist age group has set up a center. you can see their insignia here, the orange sign, to help refugees. above -- iran orange bus arrives here every 45 minutes. hours, ago as i was just discussing with molly hunter in ukraine, another temporary humanitarian cease-fire was announced for that besieged southern city of mariupol to allow citizens to evacuate. it was a second attempt at a cease-fire in many days. however, just like yesterday's cease-fire, ukraine tells us that the cease-fire has collapsed, accusing russia of continued shelling. as long as the shelling continues, people can't get in their cars and drive west. nearly half 1 million people, by the way, are believed to still be in mariupol, which has been without heat, electricity, water, and basic necessities and supplies for the past sev

the petition of czechoslovakia by germany, poland and hungary, the beginning of world war 2. having realize the danger in march 1939 and the soviet union proposed an anti fascist alliance to western countries. this i've been trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler in to check this ma vakio, but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1939 when the soviet proposed in elias . but britain and france against hitler. it had been actually route. they laid flat, half of the 1930s that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stop hitler. we could have prevented the holocaust. we could have prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and knew he was weak. and he was bluffing, and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west was hoping him any, all elements in the west were hoping that he was just going to go east and so in the thirty's, the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis? ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that

and i'm thinking in particular of hungary, victor, or bonds, hungary, or about known to have friendly relations with putin. do you think that in the wake of what we're seeing in ukraine, mister or bon, may be reconsidering his attempt to maintain those friendly relations and perhaps looking at more solidly joining the rest of the members? or is this a temporary unity? i think it's somewhere in between. i think there's a misunderstanding what the position of countries like hungary and poland worked in 2015. and since we misunderstood what they meant, then we now try to understand it in terms of the time at poland and hungary where never s santa phobic, if they were portrayed in western europe, especially in germany. if it is also, if you look to a refugee law, it is a difference whether people are coming of a thousands of kilometers going through a lot of countries where they would be secure, but decide to go on further for economy reasons. and that is a good reason, i don't say they should do that, but it's a difference whether they're coming. they are coming people from a neighboring

poland, hungary and the u.s.st, foreign affairs correspondent with the view, ukraine. >> as you noted, we are well into week four and in the past 24, 48 hours, they are taking debbie and serious turned. first, russian strikes on the ukrainian army barracks, reports are yes, thousands of ukrainian soldiers were killed, ukrainians had been holding off, in fact push artillery out of range, that's why it suspected the missile strike was a long range even from russian territory maybe. mariupol as we speak, there's three combat, fighting, the fight has been under siege for weeks, ukrainians fighting very hard there but they even admitted saturday this city will probably fall and be a key strategic for the russians. today confirming another target it not far from where we are now. a weapons ammunition missile depot, another sign the russians are striking anywhere they want in this country, even in the western part of the country. we are only about 40 miles from the polish border, poland and nato and u.s. ally. finally,

not only is this war right on hungary's doorstep, but 250,000 ukrainian refugees have poured into hungary already. viktor orban has presided over a short backside of democracy. his government has removed judges, corrupt press freedom, and given orban the freedom to rule by decree. his party is also racist, islamophobic, and particularly hostile to lgbtq rights. or bonds increasingly autocratic rule has made his relationship with fellow democracies in the european union tense and combative for years now. but he has become a hero and a model for donald trump. and his supporters and the united states. so i guess that's nice. trump has repeatedly endorsed orban for reelection this year including in this new reported statement that he put out today. and just like his right wing american acolytes, viktor orban has long been a fan of vladimir putin. in fact, it just last month, even as putin's forces were amassing on ukraine's borders, orban was meeting with putin, in moscow, saying that putin's demands of ukraine in the west were totally reasonable and, besides, there was no way putin was actua
