u. terry, the nato secretary general, you installed berg, st. civilians are increasingly coming under fire in ukraine. that is a very serious statement in a worrying development. that's right, layla, and i think his, his starkest words were reminding the kremlin that this is a war crime. now, we might also note that the international criminal court has already opened an investigation into potential war crimes being committed in the conflict in ukraine . and this was a reminder coming from the nato secretary general. and i'm told that that mister stoughton berg was particularly disturbed by the images of civilians being shelled outside the city of urban. that's where we saw some of these humanitarian corridors come under fire. and also, if our viewers may forgive me this, this family who was killed as they tried to flee where you see, you see children lying dead as they tried to get out of the city of urban. and so this is just a reminder to the russian government that everyone is watching. everyone when sees this and an attempt to make them feel that they will be held accountable, they wil

u. s. president, talking about how this is a battle for democracy against one authorial terry and liter vladimir putin, the russian leader, and the u. s. president referenced repeatedly historical examples of where a the central and eastern europe has been under soviet rule, but how the power of the people collectively over time and through low to, to use the cliche, blood sweat and tears were able to overcome the authoritarian rule. 2 then the soviet union and the point that the u. s. president is making is that the world now has a choice to fight for democracy or see the world deteriorate and see many of those hard fight democracies and battles for the people to be lost. so the earth president highlighted already what he believes has been a collective response is the west in the fact that there has been in just the last month since latimer parent invaded, there has been an enormous amount of coordinated sanctions. the u. s. president has talked about the effectiveness of that saying that the rubel, the russian rubel, has been reduced to rubble. he also spoke at one point directly to vl

we are going to see that wet weather can be more intense from the golf cop terry with on counseling because the u. s. firearms washing oil of if you use a shrink its reliance, abortion gas will high prices on the my global energy security. how sanctions against moscow are pressuring deviation industry. i'm really from food shortages power cups, all shawl anchor to fold from its debts. counting the cost of al jazeera, unprompted, and uninterrupted discussions from on london broadcast center. on n g 0. ah ah, welcome back here watching al jazeera mind. top stories this, our russian force is a slowly advancing on ukraine's capital keep gum far and explosions were heard in the early hours. saturday. a military convoy is taken up positions surrounding the city. projects is in the ukrainian city of mulatto demanding release. the mayor, ukraine's government has put out security camera footage, which it says shows him being abducted by russian soldiers. 2.5000000 refugees have now left to crate, putting pressure on neighboring european countries. also was may as, as refugees make up 10 percent, the punis

u. s. says it wasn't consulted by poland. of the w nato expert. terry schultz has wall on the significance of this proposed deal. poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 20 nines to, to the united states. we don't know yet whether the united states is prepared to take them even though we do know this has been under discussion for days. your secretary of state tony blink, and confirmed that over the weekend. so we know that this has been something that poland and the united states have been discussing. and of course we hear from ukraine daily that they need more fighter aircraft. of course, they'd really like a no fly zone, but that's not not in the works at the moment. so we need to see whether this happens as i understand at the polish government, would then expect the united states to take over any of the roles that the megs are playing at the moment because once they leave. so this is really a deal in the works and we're seeing the negotiation sort of play out in public. so there are a lot of, of, of pieces still in the, it's still

terry raise? it's difficult to say, we know the u. s. is reasserting itself militarily and economically in europe. now trying to displace russian energy and trade with china. and we'll try to link these 2 objectives in the minds of european, of the european public, and their leaders and china on its part is trying to protect these relations and prevent this from happening. now whether or not they improve will depend in part on how quickly we reach a solution ukraine and how it affects the european economy. presently, the issue is facing negative pressure from the u. s. as, as well as pressure to spend more on defense, while also dealing with inflationary cos associate with the conflict, as well as recover from the pandemic. so, can't really afford to disrupt trade with china, or will it face more pressure to build better trade relations? now my sense generally is the latter is probably close to the truth. but nevertheless, we have to note that there is a lot of antique china sentiment in europe now. so european leaders will have to move

u. s. says it wasn't pre consulted on the move by full. and so let's bring in dw correspondent terry schultz to help break all of this down for us. terry, let's talk about this new development. poland announcing its handing over its mig 29 fighter jets to the united states. they could now be sent on to ukraine. how significant is this update? what we have to see if it happens, claire, poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 20 nines to, to the united states. we don't know yet whether the united states is prepared to take them even though we do know this has been under discussion for days. you are secretary of state, tony blink and confirmed that over the weekend. so we know that this has been something that poland and the united states have been discussing, and of course we hear from ukraine daily that they need more fighter aircraft. of course, they'd really like a no fly zone, but that's not not in the works at the moment. so we need to see whether this happens as i understand it. the polish government would then expect the united states to take over any of the ru

u. now he's going home to flight, we meet a ukrainian willing to risk everything to defend his country. ah, hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. united states president joe biden has bowed to make russian president vladimir putin pay a high price for launching an unprovoked attack on ukraine. in his 1st state of the union address, biden said western countries were standing united in the face of russian aggression and pledge the u. s would defend its nato allies, but he again said that us forces would not get involved in the fighting in ukraine, which is not in nato member. instead, biden promised more sanctions against russia targeting its oligarchs and closing airspace to russian aircraft nation. let's listen it. some of biden's address poses latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide his at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide this in europe as well, but putting was wrong. we are ready, we are united, and that's what we

u. s. congress has approved $14000000000.00 to help ukraine as part of the one and a half trillion dollar us budget for this year. the fund allocated for ukraine will be used for man, terry, and, and ministry aid. the bell goes to president by the for approval. out there is practical haine has more. the u. s. senate has now followed the u. s. house and has approved spending $13600000000.00 on a ukraine. that is quite a bit more than just what the president was even asking for. just a couple of weeks ago now, the money is going to be evenly split between humanitarian assistance and military assistance on the humanitarian front. it will go to help refugees provide food and health care on the military front. 3000000000 of that is going to go to the us us european command. that is the command that takes the lead in nato, so that money can be used to bring an additional troops to stockpile weapons. the other 650000000 is going to be given to you. crane so that it can buy the weapons that it chooses. but then it's also given us president joe biden, $3000000000.00. they say he can now give ukraine up to $3000000000.00 worth of military equipment that the u. s. has, that is quit

u. now he's going home to fight. we meet ukrainian, willing to risk everything to defend his country. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. russian forces are intensifying their attacks on ukraine's main cities. russia claims it has taken control of cas on a city and ukraine south. the governor says there are there, the governor there says it's completely surrounded by russian troops elsewhere. russian paratroopers have reportedly landed in ukraine, 2nd biggest city hockey, and the mayor of the port city. mario poll says it's under constant bombardment. russia has warned residents to flee as it as it plans further airstrikes such as those seen in recent decks. a russian missile strikes a tv tower in cave. in her cave, a government building goes up in flames. both attacks killed people. russia is ramping up its assault on ukraine as a 60 kilometer long, russian convoy of armored vehicles closes in on the capital. thousands of ukrainians still desperately trying to flee. though, staying behind a facing the horrors of war in washington. when we had a fight at 5 am, is the color the be the most? we w

u. s presidential biden and brussels, and he said nato members will redouble their support for ukraine, but that nato membership for ukraine is not on the agenda. let's bring in our nato correspondent terry schultz, who's listening into the press conference for us there in brussels at nato headquarters at terry. tell us what you took away as, as the main points here. well, certainly everything that secretary general stores hamburg has announced, just reminds us how russia has failed in its demands for nato to refrain or to reverse decisions that it has taken in past years. everything is that still timber is talking about is reinforcement of the eastern flank. they're going to double the number of battle groups that were already deployed to estonia, latvia, lithuania, and poland. they're now going to move down the eastern flank to bulgaria, hungary, romania and slovakia. so you now have 8 battle groups posted there, creating what nato hoax is a seamless, seamless deterrent effect along the eastern flank. he also mentioned more support for ukraine. and you can tell from his comments here just how high the concern is that russia is indeed planning a chemical attack. they've seen these false

u. s economy is strong. terry former wall street investment banker and dean of the golden gate university business school, were really catching up quite quite effectively. this great ah, great year and we're still going strong job gains were across the board gains in the travel leisure, restaurant and bar sectors suggests a return to prepare endemic normalcy in public places, but returned to office work is quite another matter altogether with urban core business districts not even close to pre pandemic levels. attorney. bernick sees it every day in san francisco's financial district, which is the nation's leading non back to work location. it's still completely completely empty, and it really hasn't changed much in the past year. that's even true as some employers demand full time back to work. workers are making it very clear. that they like this to established remote work, and the proof is in the small numbers of people returning to the five day in office work week . knowing very well they can readily find other

u-turn. that suggests europe could start to build up its military and could become a global the terry power,ng with the u.s. and china. the other is that there could be a much more aggressive push to weaning europe off of net gas -- all of n -- off of nat gas supplies for europe. on the chinese side, i think there's a few different dimensions because one, it is very apparent that all of the dollar reserves they held may not be as much of a buffer or protection for them going forward, so they will look to diversify that. the question is what can they diversify it to. one would be gold. the other is to not do as many transactions in dollars, so encourage the internationalization of the renminbi so they don't need to accumulate dollars. in terms of taiwan, that is a little trickier. this does show that the west has a powerful nonmilitary tool to prevent attacks on other countries, which the chinese will be wary on, but more generally, from a global perspective, this adds to the case of we are entering a world where globalization or some consensus around what international institutions are there

, they, they have all terry motives and they, they operate independently and this is something that concerns, of course, we don't get any of this from the western press. now, the u. s. has been very careful to stay away from this militarily, but secretary blank and is calling on other countries to put pressure on russia to help civilians evacuate through moscow. they have been supporting the evacuation to russian territory. but the u. s. doesn't really like that. what does the us want to achieve if they only want their own way for people to get out? well they, they've, they would prefer that they come westward. that's very clear. they don't. and you hear from a ukrainian government, as well as the western governments that that it's a nonstarter to head into, into russia or into bella, roosters alternative corridors. the europe is going to be inundated here very, very shortly. if as projected some 4000000 ukrainians do head westward, it's going to be entirely disruptive even to western europe. poland, of course is getting the brunt at the moment, but then people are going into other countries such as the netherlands and germany . so it's going to be a humanitaria

u. an accused roger of seeking to commit genocide in his country and called on the world to stand together against moscow's aggression. the policy is un secretary general antonio terry speaking after the vote. the general assembly has spoken a secretary general. it is my duty to stand by these resolution and be guided by its scold. the message of the general assembly is law then clears handles seeley these ukraine, now silenced the guns, now opened the door to dialogue and diplomacy. no. the territorial integrity and so for entity of ukraine must be respected in line with you and chart that we don't have a moment to lose the brutal effects of the conflict airplane to see. but as bad as the situation is for the people you crane rights, no, it's threats to get much, much worse. thinking clock is it, i'm looking at it. i will continue to do everything in my power to contribute to an immediate cessation of hostilities and urgent negotiations for peace. people in ukraine desperately needs peace and people around the world demanded and get more than did on the political correspondent julius our deli julia . this resolution is non binding, so can really make any difference
