5:13 pm
anybody that offers to use them against somebody is probably quite a wreck as part of it smacks of desperation, of course, but the problem comes when weapons are given out freely. that 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. after all, they could be going to actually anybody at once you introduce those weapons, a freely into an environment as yet will you kind of keep control of those weapons will. meanwhile, we're getting reports of shells reportedly falling in rushes, roasted off region ortiz. donald quota is in the area. luckily nobody was injured. infrastructure wasn't damaged, either cute, 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
5:14 pm
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 there. interesting, interestingly enough, 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,
5:15 pm
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 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 are they gonna put them so that they can make sure to continue their education? soon? conflict started more than 100000. people fled. they don't mass republics, women, children, and the elderly haven't transported to nearby russian regions are also further afield to the republic of across here. we got some of that takes on recent events.
5:16 pm
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. 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 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 in 2 hours and we were sent to ab kasia. it was more terrifying than in 2014 was more shilling, more destruction. maybe they have more anger after put and recognized us and we've been waiting for this for a long time. he has blogs access to our videos in ukraine and disabled. the
5:17 pm
monetization of all of these channels is, comes off the federal european states to cover all costs of air. only on saturday, austrian tv service folks sell a house that will no longer distribute archie due to the situation in the country. we heard from ortiz, deputy editor in chief, our teacher was tirelessly work to bring valuable facts and use to an audience, really around the world where they were a government either call for or for us aren't, you can be taken off the air. it's simply highlights the policy of media freedoms in the nation. they were present to look at the association of your injury. analysts, who, on the one hand, so practically declared themselves as the founders of journalists right yet, so readily turned back on the very founding principle to support the suppression of news. and journalists under political pressure is every time to recognize the importance of all gathering news and understanding of old use is now folks don't get in touch with our tea thing and ended distribution over concerns about the
5:18 pm
situation in ukraine. the shuttle added it considers it has the right to do so under the license agreements with this network on thursday, poland might want to 5 russian channels to be taken off fare and which is cultural secretary aust regulator off. com to review on his license even before the current crisis are up to darcy's german language since the channel r t. d was blocked in germany. a political analyst we spoke to said the situation sets a dangerous precedent. i've got a number of debates on our team discussed many times with people who with whom i disagree. many opinions when a lot of people get there, 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 agree, some disagree, and that is the purpose of journalism. and that is the purpose of the media that the people who are watching make their own opinion. r t is not an ideology. it's a place where people can meet, discuss, debate on ideas, and that's fundamental. if we take that out of our democracy,
5:19 pm
there is the more democracy. so it's extremely important. maybe the mission down t v station will have to find something on the internet. if it's the internet is going to find something else. it will be taught 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 democracies is 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 i mean, we have access to all the media and that the people choose what is right and right is wrong. well, i would like to bring some pictures of the anti war process spreading across russia against the military action and ukraine. this is nikki prospect in petersburg has become a focal point of progress in recent days. right now there's a police presence. several people have been arrested. there's also radi taking place in moscow and seem to mentioned thought who demonstrations have been out here on street in 50 russian cities with around 12000 people detained as one is of course, protest spreading across multiple countries in cities all over the world. the
5:20 pm
people show the indignation at the event ukraine. well, we have received the reports of artillery and gunfire in the ukraine and capital key of our correspondence here. but franco was in the studio earlier with the updates. the babich 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 gradient 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 mostly gotten fire when, 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 worrying,
5:21 pm
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 circles key of with the city center. and again, i'm looking at reports on ta graham candles, 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 a confirmation of that from the russian military officially,
5:22 pm
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. they're, they're almost not a good to anymore because apparently the cars are not out in the streets. many, many people think 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 with rushes military, action, and ukraine entering its force. de condemnation from most western states has hit fever pitch. these images from day 3 show what appears to be a missile strike on a residential towel block on the outskirts of tea of several floors were damaged. it's unclear if there were any casualties. russian defense ministry sources say it
5:23 pm
was caused by miss l gardens failure in ukraine's that if and system she, if the noise that they say it was a russian missile strike that causes damage. now we spoke earlier, it's a russian military expert to get some analysis of the tactics being used in this invasion history. there isn't a lot of missile guidance system of a grain onto this complex. and one surely gram media will represent this case as a russian attack, but it's a big according to that control, the track bath, and the nature of the damage. we can surely identify it as an anti miss weapon. it is very difficult to establish a serial number possible identified.
5:24 pm
the main reason is that they are gray and forces deploy our moments in form and conditions directly threaten. so this is the main problem. now when you cranes, capital officials arising to take refuge in bomb shelters, residents are also seeking safety in the cities metro stations are meeting want elsewhere in the country and verified foot issues emerged on line showing, fighting in the cargo region which borders russia on the don bus plane several actually been flying over the city of barclays, and shot some powerful explosions have been heard, a russian forces and literally destroyed. you train army warehouses now, the ukranian president's office says keith is not satisfied with the term is being
5:25 pm
offered by russia for negotiations. that's off the criminal spokesman claim. ukraine is refusing to hold soft and russia will continue with what it calls a special operation. stressing once again that russian army is not targeting any civil areas. yesterday, when we were expecting negotiations with the ukranian 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, but that's about negotiations, which, by the way, have not yet taken place. ukraine and president zalinski categorically, renounce any unacceptable conditions or ultimatums from the russian side. i mean, while the russian president vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists in the army, apparently putting civilian lives at risk by deploying heavy weapons in densely
5:26 pm
populated areas. minnesota is not the ukrainian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right in the central areas of large cities including care. and hark of 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 of blaming the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans that use that as well here on the 1st time as you can see, a verified photo of ukrainian artillery squad in the middle of a residential area and russian defense ministry spokesman claim the russian side will not be provoked and will not attack heavy weapons in 5 cities. well, meanwhile, ukraine has scrapped age limits for army and 3 and find all men between a 160 from leaving the country. no thirty's are all serious things. guns to any citizen who requires them in the care of regional and it's reported more than 10000
