let's head to south west russia now where large numbers of military come, boys were st heading towards the cranium. border close to concave algiers ronnie andrew jean reports and although not the situation here on the russian ukrainian border is relatively calm. we're here about 15 kilometers away from the ukranian border and around 50 kilometers away from harkey city. this area was the scene of big military movement yesterday where a huge number of military convoys including armored vehicles, tanks, miss carriers, and a lot of other military equipment were moving towards the ukraine border. some of these convoys have moved towards the south, probably to go laser to the don wasik area. some other convoys took the road behind me and went to probably directly to harkey city. according to the information we have, the city of harkey has witnessed fear, sparkled with ukrainian forces. the russian ministry of defense have announced that around 500 ukrainian soldiers from the air defense units have surrendered to day to the russian forces. now harkey is the 2nd largest city in ukraine and it

you know, just here, as, as i'm, you know, really is in the south west russia where resources are being deployed across the border. yes. and then i hit us, alaska. convoys of russian military gear continue to flood across the russian ukraine. border armored gear and vehicle mounted and as you can see behind me, an armored vehicle carrying self propelled missiles is headed towards the borderline with ukraine. these batteries can far, 16 missiles within 20 seconds. the convoys will take part in the ongoing military operations. the fear system which is currently raging on the dunbar front, where we are standing now is only a few kilometers from the border. and this scene is repeated elsewhere as other convoys are crossing the borderline into ukraine on other roads. but he's in russia have lost a crackdown to deal with a growing anti war sentiment close to 2000 people angry over the war and ukraine. i've been arrested since the offensive began. the unrest has spread to 54 cities, an online petition to stop the attack because close to 1000000 signatures. russian internet users reported probl

i think what this shows is we have also heard of troop movements in the south—west of russia.esting is the early signs are according to witnesses and government officials, that this is something quite large scale. president putin has announced what he calls a special military operation in the east and donbass region. don't let know what that means, but he gave orders for troops to move into those occupied territories. the question is whether he would go further and try to take control of the whole of the luhansk and burlesque regions. —— donetsk regions. it seems like he is escalating things, and that is effectively an act of war. the foreign minister has said a full—scale invasion on his country has begun. president biden has condemned it. he said everyone puzzling thoughts and prayers are with the people of ukraine. yes, right now, in between the punctuation of those faint explosions in the capital... wejust heard capital... we just heard another capital... wejust heard another huge bang just over my left shoulder, just towards the river to the south—west of their. again, ou

colleagues have heard a loud explosion, as well as a troop presence in south—west russia.he has launched special military operation. the out of the people of ukraine will be free to choose who runs this country, and he said justice and truth will be on russia's side. he also urged ukrainian forces to surrender. this has been the fear all along since the eight years ago that a revolution toppled the last president, there was another one down there in fact approximate direction. a revolution eight years ago that topped the last moscow leading president. this is a sensitivity for ukrainian. there has been a russian aggression in which the country has politically leaned more towards potential european union membership, nato membership, which is a core part of this crisis. given the escalations we have seen since last april, when troops started to gather on ukraine's borders, that there has always been he would come to this point that all of that gathering, that movement of troops, the heightening of political language transpire into air strikes of this kind. president biden ha

, there are questions in the east, there is troop movements, reported troop movements by russia in the south—west it will be only ukraine to defend itself because not one nato birdwell set foot on ukrainian soil as things stand —— nato boot will set four. this is russia making it, expressing yourself in its own unique way that he does not want, it was taken off the table, it was the alliance to push right back. you have this globalface—off push right back. you have this global face—off between the world bozovic superpowers and ukraine —— world's superpowers and cities at the heart of it. james waterhouse, for now, thank you. let's cross now to our moscow respondent caroline davies who is in rostov—on—don. thank you very much forjoining me. the russian president, vladimir putin, announcing what he is describing as a military operation in the donbass region. are we witnessing the start of world war three? victoria, at this stage there are many fears this is the start of war in europe. this morning just before 6am, we had an address from president putin where he talked about the fact he was starting

our correspondent caroline davies gave us this update from the city of taganrog in south west russiaon of donetsk. we are one and a half hours away from ukraine. many evacuees have been coming through here before being sent further into russia. you may see behind me, there are emergency tents put out by the russian authorities to help process people and provide people with somewhere warm to stay when they arrived. there are temporary toilet facilities. during the course of the last few days there have been buses arriving along here with people who say they have been travelling more than 24 hours from these regions and they are taken from here, taken down they are taken from here, taken down the road and put on trains and sent to central russia, other parts of russia. one train we went to see and spoke to the authorities was going more than 1000 kilometres to the east of moscow. quite some distance. despite the fact this announcement was made yesterday by vladimir putin saying he was sending in peacemaking groups of which is not how the international community views them at all, despi

our correspondent caroline davies gave us this update from the city of taganrog in south west russia the rebel—held region of donetsk. the west has considered a lot of the evacuation would not necessarily be necessary, they are concerned it is part of the russian strategy, the separatist strategy to create a sense of crisis in eastern ukraine that would then justify russian intervention. many will see this now, given president vladimir putin's actions over the last 2a hours is exactly what russia was intending to do. the president yesterday held a security council meeting where he asked his officials to give their opinions on what was going to happen, whether they should recognise the independence of the separatist held areas which until this point, russia has recognised as being part of ukraine and one by one, those officials came out and said that yes, russia should recognise the independence of the separatist held, rebel held areas in ukraine. the president left for a few hours and later on appeared with a 65 minute television address where he talked about everything from 17th—cen

russia. and also earlier in rural south region, that is a region that borders ukraine to the west in russia, they destroy 2 armored personnel carriers. now they that they allege that these carriers belong to the ukrainian military. and they said that this incident took place on monday morning. of course, this is a significant development because there were rush and back separate. his leaders have said that the situation in easter ukraine is very much as a deteriorating one. and they have called, now on and the government in moscow to help them both financially as well as militarily in that region to fight with the ukrainian military. the leaders, the separatist leaders also asked the women children and the elderly to evacuate that area. earlier on friday, and as a result, there is now over 70000 people that have crossed the border into russia. that these are mainly women and children that have by really left their homes in the middle of the night that their husbands wives, their husbands, sons, and brothers have all been asked to stay behind. the men have been told they have to stay back in

forces are reported to have entered ukraine from belarus in the north, and from russia itself to the west, right down to the southtroops on ukraine's border. that's slightly less than ukraine's entire armed forces of around 200,000. but russia has more advanced weapons. it has long range cruise and ballistic missiles, and some of the world's most sophisticated air defence systems. and russia's key advantage is in the air. it has around 300 combat aircraft, including fighterjets and attack helicopters on the border. ukraine has just over 100. they will very quickly gain air superiority. as soon as they do, the over 200,000 ukrainian troops stop being an army that can manoeuvre and reposition itself to fight which ever axes the russians advance on, and instead becomes a collection of independent units that will struggle to reposition themselves without coming under air attack, and so that's where the ukrainians face very hard choices. pinned down, ukraine's forces will find it harder to defend. many of its best trained and best equipped troops are in the east of the country, along the line of control. western intel

now, it's being attacked on all sides by russia to the north, the south, the east and the west. all eyes are on kia. it's being pounded by missiles. russian forces of entered a northern suburb and live surrounded the city. no fierce fighting is taking place in the regions of so me. carson and ukraine's 2nd largest city. cock heave the mayor. there has told all residents to hide in bomb shelters and in the port city of maria pole that's close to rebel held areas in the east. at least $35.00 residents have been injured after fighters backing pro russians separatists fired at civilian buildings. our correspondent charles stratford began his day in mario paul before heading to nipple in central ukraine, and he describes what he saw while he was crossing through multiple conflict psalms . we started in mario pool that very important strategic coastal city naval port on the as of see in the south east, those heavy shilling there to the east of the city. we understand tanks being used their m mary a pool mare, offering people the chance cert we're going to interrupt, chose there to tak

west. what we don't show is south of russia. the biggest country south of russia.e of your screen there. there is a borderline that shows a little country off to the right side. that little country is not little, it's kazakhstan. it's one of the biggest so former soviet republics. they got some help from russia, militarily. it turned down an offer from russia to recognize these two republics in eastern ukraine. it is turned down a request to send troops. what's going on there? how did all of a sudden, kazakhstan, which is almost as reliable as belarus, in terms of a russian partner, decided on a piece of this action? >> that's a point there. the debated value is that people are seeing this as him losing his mind. he is losing his respect in the international community. so if you are in the kazakh president, -- if kazakhstan did in fact obey or go along with putin's request. you can see people exercising sense from a diplomatic physician. that was a difficult call. >> yes, they got oil and gas as well. and as the world thinks about greater sanctions on russia and wh

west dominated global order, which has been under attack by china. if you take the south china sea, a conflict which is now also under attack by, by russia, by not being with compliance on the west and view that ukraine can freely choose their alliances, military alliances. we have a conflict about the interpretation and the validity of international law. so does natural that the un secretary general takes a position off the validity and the challenges like china and russia, in this sort of uphill battle in that respect and rushes ambassador to the u. s claims that the sanctions will is not just going to be impacting europe. it's going to be a global is going to impact the global financial in energy market. so how, why and how do you assess that potential impact to be depends on what will be published on friday and saturday, as was announced, immediate sanctions against the people to be with the republics in the dawn bus or the people connect with them will not have a major effect, so i expect that there would be much more to come. the whole word is to is changing from the globalization when, when project to global rivalry lose lose project. this is a

russia and into ukraine. you heard our reporter alex marquardt say that russian troops were arriving from the north, south, and east and west of kyiv. and now there are, you know, concerns about how quickly russia can be crippled. president biden adding sanctions to putin and his foreign minister yesterday, and there's on top of other sanctions against putin's inner circle in government and business. is it your feeling that the sanctions or even president biden weighing whether to remove russia from s.w.i.f.t., this banking network, will in any way deter, cripple, stop russia? >> well, we know that putin is not acting rationally, and based on your reporting, it's inhumane to see the loss of life, to see families being split apart, to see the reporting of that 7-year-old boy who doesn't know if his father is going to come with him. i mean, this is the loss of human life that putin isn't owning. the president is handling it directly. he is escalating the sanctions saying he'll have the sanctions against the s.w.i.f.t. system. but we need more than the united states, and frankly we need china to also impose sanctions. otherwis

west, east and south. as well as inside the city. the russia ukraine conflict is even reaching in to outer space.ency warns u.s. sanctions could destroy cooperation on the international space station. and endanger the orbiter itself. space and defense correspondent with the details. >> there are four u.s. astronauts, two russian and one german astronaut all living and working together on board the international space station. but shortly after president biden announced sanctions on russia and specifically on russia's space sector and space program, the head of russia space agency said those new sanctions have the potential to destroy this cooperation and partnership. between the u.s. and russia. at the international space station. essentially the way this works is the space station is divided into two sections. u.s. and russia. you can't just pull them apart. the u.s. section provide all the electricity. and the russian section provide all the the engines. which keep the space station in the right orbit. essentially the right place in space. everybody at nasa and certainly leadership they are hop

the far east of russia. russia has now announced that its withdrawing its troop back to the south and west of the country away from bellows. many i wondering what will happen to the other russian forces here in pins, just 30 kilometers from the border. bella, russians and ukrainians have lived together for generations. they are worried about being tracked into a possible war edition, and i think it's a dangerous precedent or they'd like with so many russians come to us with situation around ukraine is very tense and we are all deeply worried. ukrainian people are very close to us, towns have a good relations with ukrainians. my heart aches the ukraine and also we were afraid of the occupation has been happening silently. and we don't like it because we favorite wasn't ships, may stay here. and their presence is very much felt driving around the south of barrows. satellite images appear to show that instead of withdrawing more troops are being sent to the region. the trails are scheduled to end on february 20, only then it will become clear and soldiers will return to the basis as moscow ha

ukraine surrounded for all intents and purposes with exception of south wests corner, ukraine is surrounded. what do you expect to see from russiaxt 24 hours in light of the positioning of resources on the map? >> yeah, i think the logistics are key here, this terrain is tough to fight in sometimes, he will make sure he has logistics tightened up, set piece, seize provinces and tighten logistics and continue to move. north and south, you see forces prepared to seize pieces of ukraine and protect russia flights, as well. his paratroopers from four airborne divisions moved into the eastern part and they are going to -- area and key they tighten up the logistics issue the other thing to be mindful of, you have baltics to the north and romania to the south. you have poland to the west, those are red lines, if any red lines are crossed, article 5 gets debated in nato, attack against one is an attack against all, that is a whole new dimension. >> carley: it is the nato secretary general called this most dangerous time for europe in a century. i heard this situation likened to 1936, when nazi germany reclaiming territory and saying ger

west on the south. it does seem the whole backdrop to the prospect and negotiations, all losses that were not expected by russia and a time frame for the attack that is getting more prolonged than people had thought initially. this is the view of military observers. whether or not that's going to happen in practice is another matter. and there are also reports of the at that in the north of the city of very much a standstill effectively of one armored convoy because of destroyed bridges. at least 2 of them are on main roads and these convoys are having to now skirt around the areas. so effectively, the capital is also seeing infrastructure attack now by the russians. but there are many active small units of the ukranian army that are actually doing better than expected at halting these armored convoys, as i've said. and the weaponry they're using, they're using stinger missiles for an aircraft attacks on aircraft. and they're using a lot of a of ground to ground missiles on tanks and armored vehicles at these seem to be highly effective and they are really moving in areas now that actually have results. however

the bombing is north to south, east to west, bombing the far west, they are bombing right over the border from russiaeported on russia for 15 years. is there any aspect of this that is surprising to you? >> i think, you know, on one hand i always know that to get russia right you have to go with the worst case scenario. imagine like, if everything goes wrong, and if the worst can comes to pass, that is usually what is going to happen. that's how you predict what happens with russia. >> stephen: is that because russians are fatalistic or have to be fatalistic when you think about russians? >> both. but also putin is in charge and he does crazy things and he is a big risk taker. >> stephen: there is a lot of talk about whether he is a rational actor. is he? >> i think it depends how you define rational. >> stephen: rational self-interest, how about that? >> yeah. i think in his own closed system, he is logically and rationally consistent, and has been over the last 20 years. so there is a reason i think he made that joke in 2014, that "better talk fast before they are one country," right? there was alr

west was very in supporting nurturing the terrorism. and gangs vonage extremists in russia and it was but in the south, the russian, we had to go through a lot of turbulent events before we broke down the backbone of international terrorism and the copays, we will never forget about and you actually get a chance that she use russia in their own interest to destroy our tradition of values into pose during the values which would destroy or be a ticking bomb for the russian nationally within the same principles. they want to impose on themselves, but really to degradation because they ran counter to the nature of human nature. it won't happen. no one in history has been able to do that. and they will succeed in doing that. december 2022. we reached out to the u. s. and their allies to agree only secure to principles in europe and on the attempt to avert any major expansion to the parts which will invade in vain. the us doesn't want to agree with us on the key principles and if you consider and they will be sharing their goals and they don't show any respects or concerns and interest. well, the big question is, what do we have next? we kno

situation where russia might be cut off economically from the west and that pushes russia into chinese fold and russia is much smaller than china the russian economy is somewhere between south korea and canada chinese economy, much bigger the population, much bigger. if russia needs access to banking, finance, international markets and all the rest, it might have to turn to china in a few year's time rather than to the west and that might make russia sort of a second fiddle in some ways to the chinese growing empire that's a consideration that he's going to have to make. >> we've got about 45 seconds before we expect the president brian, is this so much about, do you mean money or do you mean economic leverage? >> i disagree with your guest, politely and respectfully. if it wasn't about money, the sanctions won't work it's disprovably true. also, why spend 11 billion on the nord stream 2 if you can just go into ukraine i was in sochi olympics in 2014 a couple of days before they annexed crimea this has been going on for eight years now in this region with more than 15,000 in the donbas region estimated dead. so i think money may not be the whole reason, but it is a reason >

russia by name or not. and it wasn't just members of the west, but members of the global south as well. and as, as the knew him, a lot of people talking about the speech from the canyon ambassador and went with that memorable line. multilateralism lies on its death beds to night. and so he obviously ukrainian baths. very happy with what's, what's going on there. but i think as far as what can happen at the un will what, at, what does usually happen at the, you know, you know, a few major powers pretty much at hold swear the security council. so much goes on from there. there is the un general assembly, there's a big meeting coming up on wednesday, which, which was already prearranged. it was the, there was, it was the time it was daniel at the annual session on crimea. and that clearly this will be a major issue. a major issue that however, in the past it's not quite so easy perhaps as, as that's as the 15 members of security council that we're talking about. and then that split between the west and africa and the non aligned and china. because at the un general assembly, i think there
