Emergency session of the Un Security Council right now. The ukraine president says the russians have come, a fullscale invasion is underway. Nato was backing up the claim and has released satellite images that reportedly show more than 1000 Russian Troops armed with heavy weapons inside ukrainian territory. Nato calling this a major escalation of the crisis by moscow. Russias deny russia denies their troops are aiding the rebels. What is the latest from the Un Security Council . The russian ambassadors to the United Nations has only just started speaking. We havent heard yet what he has to say, but just to fill you in on what has been said so far, many ambassadors have already spoken. The lithuanian using the strongest language. Openly using the word invasion. What she did say is that russia has joined the separatists. Saying it fits into wellestablished patterns of russian behavior throughout the course of this crisis. It the 12 countries that border russia in the region, that their piece and sovereignty is guaranteed, if we cant do that with ukraine . That rhetorical question being asked currently. Next week ahead of the nato summit, paying a visit to the states that border russia. Tweeting an invasion is an invasion. What is the white house saying . The white house postponed a planned press briefing that was due to happen at 1 00 local time. Reporter sat there for 45 minutes waiting for the spokesperson to come out and then got the message that we are delaying until 4 00. It is incidentally the time when barack obama will be meeting his national Security Council team. That meeting supposedly to be talking about the crisis in iraq. But this is a year of crises and ukraine will be high up on the agenda there. Always a bigger crisis on the agenda. Lets go to brussels now and poland are correspondent max hoffman. Lets talk about those images coming from nato. What are we hearing about the reliability of the images . We are in a warlike situation. Its not just about military power, its winning over the heads. They are a Company Called digitalglobe providing pictures to google earth. They have a mechanism on their website where you can verify these pictures. I tried to do that because nato pointed specifically to that website but it was down indicating that there was probably too many people trying to do exactly that. What do you do is a journalist if you want to verify something, you look for a second source. They are fighting alongside russian shoulders soldiers. They are being captured in ukraine. They claim those are russian tanks in the ukraine. Those are all very strong indicators that those satellite pictures are telling the truth or at least part of the truth. Nato may have a good case to stand on but what can it do . Wheel was have to remind people that ukraine is not part of nato. They can reinforce the eastern border and have beefed up their presence there. Nothing permanent yet. It might change. We have a nato summit next week and u. S. President barack obama is going to the baltic states. We assume people there that is there for them making having a major policy speech. Thank you very much. If youre just joining us, the Un Security Council in an emergency meeting right now. Russian forces have entered the country. He is calling it a fullscale invasion. This video is of a russian tank in the middle of the ukrainian city. These images appear to show Russian Military vehicles just over the border. Images and bits of information that put together seem to imply that Russian Troops are indeed operating on ukrainian territory. Tensions have risen over the last 24 hours. There have been reports of intense fighting. And the courts have lost control in the southeast. According to Ukrainian Defense sources, the city is reportedly completely under russian control. They fear that with russian support, the separatists will also take the ukrainian president has made up lead to the International Community. We need support in the face of this clear escalation, he said. I will appeal to our partners to call an emergency eu council where we have to immediately discuss the situation. The ukrainian premier has called for more help from the west. Ukrainian forces are capable of dealing with the russian led army. Moscow continues to deny involvement. However, one rebel leader says there are russian soldiers in their ranks albeit on a volunteer basis. They are currently serving soldiers among us. If they turn out to be true, the stakes in this conflict have got much higher. Lets go to vladimir in key of kiev. What is the reaction to photo showing Russian Troops in the ukraine . This is definitely breaking news not breaking news for the ukraine, this is a practice that they have been seeing for months and months. This is something that the ukraine was trying to draw attention to the International Community to. The russian side, these are not Russian Troops. Now when there are pictures of nato which can be considered as somewhat conclusive evidence, officials hope that this will bring a closer International Community. The uns secretarygeneral has called reports of fighting to the south. The situation in the south of ukraine is very volatile. This small town just off the border, the Security Council finally confirmed that the city was lost to the Russian Troops. On one hand, there is a direct road. On the other hand, there is the second largest city. Therefore, the situation by the Russian Troops is very dangerous. Lets get the story from moscow. Our correspondent standing by for us. Nato says it has satellite images, the ukrainians say they have video on the ground. How is moscow refuting all of this . If they will or would, its quite easy to predict what they say. They have been denying the whole day, the weeks that they have anything to do with what is going on in the east of the ukraine. There are nine russian soldiers in the ukraine, and he meant those in captivity. And also the Russian Defense Ministry Said that all these allegations by ukraine, by the west were hoax, lies, not true. That is what is said here in moscow. Two days ago we saw this handshake between the leaders of ukraine and russia just two days ago. What is your take on this . What can be behind this dramatic turnaround . It probably wasnt even that much of a dramatic turnaround. There wasnt much more than a handshake and talks that were reportedly very difficult. Set apart from lets keep talking and in the days running up to the Ukrainian Army looks to be quite successful. Raising the stakes on the ground, it is a development for the kremlin. In moscow, thank you. Nato, the eu, and the u. S. Have made it clear that there is no military option in the ukraine crisis. Economic sanctions in place can and will, will they take them further . The developments in Eastern Ukraine torpedo the conference agenda. The german chancellor said european leaders will decide how to does respond on saturday. She said there will be talking about more sanctions. If the situation escalated further, we would have to discuss more sanctions. We have to answer the question, how do we react . During the gathering in berlin, news of the developments in Eastern Ukraine just kept coming. In france, president Francois Hollande called the situation unacceptable. Russia cannot want to be a recognized power. Right now it is suffering increasing isolation and it is clear that the sanctions are causing a slowdown in its growth. It is now up to the russian president to resolve this contradiction. They will meet with other leaders on the weekends to consider the crisis in the ukraine. It looks like a fresh round of sanctions will be the main talking point. You in peacekeepers have been kidnapped u. N. Peacekeepers have been kidnapped and we will go live to jerusalem. And a report on the new turkish president. The u. S. Has sent more troops and vehicles in an apparent move to reinforce its positions there. They were seen moving across the border. The troops were captured in heavy fighting. Do we know anything more about the fate of the captured you in soldiers and those Still Holding out . A Spokesman Says it is unclear exactly which group is holding the men. Some said they are held by an Al Qaeda Linked group fighthtbut as not clear if it is that group and exactly where they are. In peacekeepers from the philippines trapped inside to you in bases in syria. They say the situation is extremely fluid and the u. N. Is extremely concerned. This comes a few days after the philippines announced it will withdraw the 300 strong contingent from the forest because of previous similar incidents. You in troops have been captured by rebel militias on three separate occasions in the last 18 months but were eventually released unharmed. The american journalist was released by the same group. Military assets on the ground . Like they dont have the asseo stage any kind of radar rescue mission. It would be extremely unlikely and they will have to rely on diplomacy and talking to these various groups. We know from the release of previous people abducted, the dialogue and discussion can bring about their release. On the story for us in jerusalem. The German Government will be discussing sending arms to Northern Iraq to help fighting against the islamic state. They debate the issue on monday. Germany has been flying in humanitarian aid since the middle of this month. Six technical military advisers are being sent there as well. European countries are supplying iraqi kurds with weapons. He has the overwhelming he was the overwhelming choice in the first erect vote for the office of presidency. It is more of a ceremonious role. To abide by the constitution. The swearingin ceremony in front of a few hundred deputies was a relatively lowkey affair by the populace standards. Representatives of turkeys Main Opposition Party boycotted the event. They violated the constitution by not stepping down as Prime Minister immediately after his election as president. They led the secular turkish state in conservative religious directions. He also stepped down as head of the justice and development party. That did not stop his supporters from celebrating on wednesday. This farewell will be a new beginning. We will continue to see each other if perhaps not as often as we used to. Despite his change of roles, he is not giving up authority. His most immediate goal is to change the constitution to increase the influence of the office of president. Over to frankfurt now on a day that is looking very dull for investors.
