the south russian forces have completely surrounded the city of mario pole by land and sea caisson. another important port city is now a full russian control. and for the north, russian forces are expanding that offensive on the outskirts of caves. but the capital continues to be well defended by ukrainian forces. have slowed the advance of a 65 kilometers along russian convoy to the north of the city. in live volunteers working around the clock to help those court in the conflict, as are desirous jonah hall reports. well, here we are in what just a few days ago really was an arc center and museum in the western city of a visa. now, as you can see, transformed into a hive of activity, it is a humanitarian hub. in this western city behind the front lines, taking donations from people all over the country. they're being brought here to be process from ordinary people, from charities from businesses,

then packaged up to be sent to areas in need across the country. we're talking about all the way down to the south in harrison we're talking about the currently encircled almost besieged city of how to keep these are absolutely essential supplies in this room. we're talking about medicines and medical supplies being sorted out, put into boxes, ready to be moved on and distributed. we're talking about clothing. we're talking about food supplies. we see coming up down these stairs. baby buggy is pushed, has all the things that people will need, either to hunker down and wait out the siege of their cities. or to be able to make the journey. in freezing, cold temperatures across the country to one of the various exit points, seeking safety across the boarders. more than a 1000000 people have done so far. there is a humanitarian crisis erupting in ukraine of boss proportion and on multiple fronts . not just the internally displaced people who've left everything behind in their hundreds of thousands, but also large populations in urban centers,

likely to find themselves besieged in the days and weeks to come trapped. terrified and desperate for help you miss ukraine's president has been speaking. let's listen to this extreme and the more than one group in the the inquired, world a sheet is witnessing what's all the c if this problem is not sold, the whole world would not come next to an end. the problem is not wrong is that we are standing in the wall and defending the civilized world, which is because i think not so president, i do not blame the russian people. they are common people like us when they when the why do not they call the take to this

3 for the test them on a straight. and i don't mind why aubrey is the gradient people. and it's been a bit of a, inc paying the price. we are simply demanding our right that the president is not a king, nature. he is not divine. he is simply occupying an office manager as elected and selected by the people. he is the manager of the affairs. he should work toward the prosperity of his country. the feed his people in order to have his people a standing with bride, among other people in the world states

that yes, we got our net pro still not the president. i would be one of the ukranian men, the standing on the forefront defending our country today. i am in this position if i'm not in this position in the position, the office of the president, i would be one of the civil defense forces. i would be one of the resistance forces who are now was defending our country and we cannot give up our home soil. we are simply defending our homeland problem in the home. we wish when you sort of the russian mothers hose

children and their prime age are thrown into the wall. they are thrown in to you and fair enough to be killed. you will need i have a young daughter as well when it is abroad. those young men are coming to your grains that you wish those mothers would keep and they have the right to receive the dead bodies of their tender and their young men send the book. you should have both flowers. it should be god. but there is one and i am on my daughter was the one that should be clean and your daughter did you have anybody you look at

the human action monitored and will be judged that in mind we are going to take when the images of the dead bodies among the russians. however, we, we are running out of time. we are more concerned with defending our home soil. our country pros, national, not always the story. naturally. the entire world, also as a, standing by our side. we are defending our history, our heritage, and our nation with all the

group that lot him into this after you the law who wants to kill you? i you that 1st question and 2nd, what can germany do? what can europe do? all of shawls? the german concept right now that yeah, that you, when the war. yeah. the july, the dinner, the my, if you, what was it was i show any human be willing, you know, of course keep us on the safe. he'll see personal safety and his own life. for the last course, no one is willing to waste his own life. those who would like to with other people live are not ordinary people. but it would be, we must understand that we would like to live in peace. and so you know,

some people are sorting other than initiating, offensive on others is not accept around. when that said, however, you should say, i still my personal life, the change of man, the right, but someone, of course a lot. just a really to more. we more just leave the blue sky. the do the blameless, but we've fear for our families. our loved ones, it is to rule them that we would be however, when in my garage is the best disease, because that would mean my belief, profit values, but i do not wish to see our country without a government. what are we going to tell

our post story did that coming in today? since the entire worded marketing re allies kind of don't show the do this problem really cannot be. it is owned by a start by then or mccall. hopefully, we have been talking for a long time that when the ukraine is seeking assurance soon guarantee for the protection of our home soil and our people however, you'll fail to prove to be strong enough to provide protection. that should say, yes, you'll be a seamless inhuman them. i don't know what to say about that union. yep. or that log into the portal nozzle is the name booted to doable to the shop. if that is obviously award yancey,

but it more i mentioned repeatedly that people who are the europe in union with you and nate to that are not tech. i'm not able to protect their allies, nor tina from your di decrease when they go don't really do all you gotta do this for you. yeah. a couple of you get a millions your car, them up what you've got, but you've got them. that's when you should probably what need to have a wave, what those of floor genes or, or young my grace by our people. 2 words, poland and romania, when the whole world has seen how the european countries i'm told by our people inside the own. and boy, u, as in umbrella, whether them 15 should,

we should last it. and paul of ours is that the role that are required to provide protection for our country to our home. so i brought our people the valley on when our neighboring countries will say, afford not certain novel troubles or in the past, from the crane back to a helping hand to them. by the fact that though we may need to a member of the countries in europe with the water, we will see you then the polish, if you go to the ceiling, more do it would compromise. we were speaking move this vision to mean little hope. wouldn't start the monopoly, some changes that will be pipeline to if you schedule with reaching out to me would

shit is green and not be important green or the summer. and the net was there is no other hurdle to escalate the door to buy a new modes. 3 masters room is a weapon. out of me again is the grain, a man room for us to get up to render? it's about chapter 8 is meant for the reading. a lot of me surrender. it's only the beginning. what will happen? yeah. what's your career and you can be removed but at the gray and then yellow again, is russia. and here i was, i know, and i thank all the countries lending a helping hand. the minutes, however, it is going to lay to absolute the problem. we have paid

a heavy prize. thousands of our young men will budge the young ukrainian and we can easily winning to see what's wrong. like this luck is the union is valuable. there are always, if god forbid it, well, there is no more grain when it will not be the end. it will go to a stone your way. the other countries, the whole world, must them on a trade in my power to stand arguing again, as it was again, it's the killing of innocent people. i believe the sanctions. i good. i move in the right direction. i'm sort of curious about non plans all at glisten

about and those lives own learners. what is important? the good down member is shanice, but senior bumble, divine you know, to that is a low tone. it's, it's a breaking out the cranium skies. you provide you with much heavy shilling and intense bon wadman, right. the under the dental area, a very classic hysterical chair and car was destroyed, which is very similar, but i do from unfortunate minds. no, i do not set of producers to intrude russian president. yeah, we're going to be shown as behind, but he's in the pool. if she will not even he him. i also blue with most of the g change in the always one be for the bomb or the why. and i assured you said to me,

but they was, you know, there is no difference between one target. we now will see the shelling much near the church or start green. the shy one of the tell cause it sure. on the right when the book, the book, but the one is that church that put in the use to speak about these to get it was when people i do not know if your process is what i do. not really, but i know the number of the fatalities. there is nothing but a w, a w, w, w. hard to see some just see we grania, we're all targeted and says sedated in addition to

a number of minority this is and that this him they all eluded. dorothy de failed, nor when the guy, if people were killed has that insult of the setting. and they claim that's pretty much they are brought should then thing that she was really an o residential area and they are only military positions. even they know that he has the sensor was cell was free time. he would need to order a both of you ordered, but some of you have been witnessing my car today yesterday and the day before, which was provided the crew. similarly, other, your grain is in your brain. they are being that why we are demanding

a no fly zone to put an end to the killing of a leader valium, but you're all set. this is your wife. michelle. michelle dole are being a russian and russian area for some a girl. and that should work, but what? divide to 3, and then keep me not on the give up or what, who should then should then the yachts, it all to you? sure. when a provided does, it could have done that, but it does not as that the non database coolie yet shows that as the most of the greens jump deadman goal, which is one steve grammar because he got key usually day. but when a bowling utilizes a steep or all beneath where leaves one level of the year on that we really feel on

the sure the to get is the law. should we get there, but he discussed yet be do move them or what he put you guy with a job moment i get to it. then the mazda course got that in that he didn't mean that this summer, even while a salmon. yep. so that were, why didn't that was that? ah, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski speaking within the last hour these press conference that he's giving at the moment on not live least are replayed to the media after they've happened. a he said that we are the defense between russia and civilization . if i was not president, he said i would be on the frontline defending ukraine were forced to defend ourselves. russians are dying, mothers of russian soldiers deserve to have the bodies of their sons returned. we are, he said, defending our heritage, our history with our nation and the world stands at our side. let's bring it out. there was andrew simmons. it was in live near the border with poland. but what do you make of what you heard there? andrew said, well,

tired in extreme weary, you can see from his eyes that this is a man who is, has been for nothing like it one can't imagine what he's been through. but of course, this is now the beginning of the 2nd week of a war that wouldn't appear to have an end and, and certainly as an extremely fragile way and any hope of any peace am god forbid. he said, if ukraine is no more, it is wiped out of the earth effectively. because god forbid, if that happens, the estonia, other states that border russia a will follow, he warned the world. it had to stand up to protect ukraine. he was grateful for all possible assistance to the wave of migration and he hit on the point of

a no fly zone being the only thing that could start to prevent all of the civilian deaths of the deaths of thousands of young men, which he referred to and made a very strong points on that a worn standouts point in all of it is no mention of the talks. yes, it was recorded, but he would have known full well the talks were going to take place. and, and this speech at this address to the people of ukraine, many of whom don't have tv sets or even radios of because they're sheltering from the blitz from above and from the land as well. and so really this is laying it on the table, not the negotiating table, the more table because there is a feeling, despite all the losses, the ukraine could win this war. and i think you'll find these negotiations now where they're not ready. negotiations is both sides getting together to make some

attempts at some sort of temporary arrangement. and the thing that i could, well, if i could predict one thing that's the negotiating team, would it be briefed on by their president? and that would be to try to get some sort of humanitarian corridor agreed with russia. whether that's possible is impossible, is it whether it's possible is unclear. they seem to be pretty hard line in their approach. but so as for any common ground in terms of negotiating, some sort of piece there is 00 chance of that. there is a possible, possible i would say point where bar they could go into a there i use the word a confidence building measure. but only a humanitarian, no coward, all that would work, that would be so guaranteed to work would put kate's, the desperation of his country right now. and so that's where it really stands.

officers interested in supporting live from live in western ukraine. let's go to moscow on the zeros torso, jibari is there a door? so tell us more about what the russians want from these tool trip. they said it a pre conditions where they have no, it's the only 3 condition they had was the location which they insisted had to be in bell roofs, even though the ukrainian president said they were able to meet them in any other country. but beller roost for the russians than button. so in the end, the ukrainians did and make their way to bella roost on monday. and then today they met, also in bellows, went along the border with poland. and we understand the ukrainian delegation consisting of 3 of the officials from the government in g f. i have now been sitting down with a 6 or russian representatives of the kremlin,

and they are now beginning their discussions. now, the russia delegation wanna talk about 3 main things. one is the humanitarian situation. second is the military conflict and the technical aspect of that that's ongoing. and 3rd is the political situation that's happening in the country. these are the 3 points they want to talk about, and the ukrainians for their part wants to talk about getting some kind of a humanitarian corridor corridor and ongoing. while the fighting is happening to get the civilian population out of the country. they also want to talk about a ceasefire as soon as possible, but at, based on how the russian press and has been handling the situation there, it doesn't seem like that's in the carts at all. now the question is, last time the 2 sides met, they spoke for over 5 hours. will it last that long this time or will it fall apart? it's not clear at the moment, but what we do know is that there are not may a major expectations at to come out of the 2nd round. i think that many see it just important to keep the line of communication open between the 2 sides. meanwhile,

rushes president, sir vladimir putin spoke to the president of france. somebody will not call on it today. what do we know of that conversation? well, this was a call that was apparently an initiated by the russian president vladimir putin. and the conversation lasted between the 2 leaders for about 90 minutes. and this is the 3rd phone call between the 2 men in the past 7 days since the invasion of russian forces began in ukraine at vladimir putin insisted to emanuel micron, that the military operation, as they call it here, will continue until the very end until their objective is met, that objective is, of course su demilitarize a the, a ukrainian army as well as take control of the country's nuclear facilities. their concern is that ukraine could possibly, at some point in the future,

restart the nuclear program. of course, they haven't had an accent nuclear program since 1994 when they gave up older and nuclear weapons as a result of a treaty that they signed. and they became part of the non proliferation treaty. as the russian president made it very clear to emanuel mac wrong, that his position is the right one. and we've also had a very different readout from the eliza palace. they as say that the french president is not very optimistic from his reading of the phone conversation. among micron says he fears that the worse is yet to come. and that there was nothing in what putin said that could reassure us. and it will. he was told of the russian president by emanuel micron, that he will cost your country dearly. your country will end up isolated, weakened and under sanctions for a very long time. and the french president said that france is now preparing for

the worse. the french president, of course, has had many meetings with bloody reputed over the past few weeks. and they relationship was one of the closest between any european leader and the russian president. and i think it's telling that blood of me put in reached out to him today. but i think the message that emanuel micron bought was certainly much more bleak than he expected. and this is a president that usually likes to put a more positive spin on things, and that was clearly not the case today, all right, door. somebody, thanks to the dollars interest. also jabari the live in moscow. want to go back to address and understand who's in live in western ukraine under to talk about reports that we've seen here about a cargo ship possibly being sunk by mine in the black simeha odessa. do you know anything about yes, sir. the vista shipping agencies reporting this and apparently of the cargo

ship or an explosion took place a part of that ship and it, it's sunk quite quickly and a 2 crew members were able to get in were a raft and 4 other crew members are missing. and this explosion is being put down to a possible mine. it was in the black see, it was off odessa, which is under attack relentless attack from russian forces. there is also the deployment of, of the russian navy, not just in the black sea, but although also the see of as of so yes, this does appear to be related to the war. and not only do we have that incident, we have a, an increase in attacks, particularly civilian areas in many parts. for example, genevieve or a least one war plain attacks or an air we are of the of the city that said it is a region. but there's a city of china heath,

which is up in the north of the country, not far away from the b belushi border and it hit 2 schools. the attack ad apparently, according to the reports we're hearing from the ukrainian emergency service, or there were a number of deaths, a probably about 8, that is the, the number that was now about an hour old. not only that her soul, which is the black sea port that is now occupied by russia, the 1st city to be taught to a fallen to russian forces. and in mario poll not far away, the situation, the situation there for civilians, and indeed the ukrainian forces is critical that there is a medieval style siege going on there. where food water fuel have all one out is, is critical. that there is a, a question mark about how long mario paul can hold. and also in how he's more,

more attack sir, bye bye land and by air on. that's the 2nd city which and the casualty rates has gone up considerably to day. we don't have figures on it's not accurate ones anyway, so we won't pass them on. but there are a number of deaths, a civilian deaths and military deaths on this day. i was, there's andrew simmons that live in live event true for the moment at many thanks. we'll talk to you again later. volota mayor clinic is the head research fellow at the institute of political and ethnic studies of the national academy of sciences of ukraine. he joins us now live from keith. i could tell you with a sense that thank you for waiting. i hope you understand that we have to take president zalinski. so comments or you heard what he was saying? what do you make of what he said? i he said that you create a desk, but it's the needs more western support. what, what tab that got in terms. so what that ends in terms of the commitment

in terms of humanitarian aid is not enough. and he makes it clear that the primary need of you, of a now it all flies. i would to clarify that at least for the parts of ukraine for those parts, because in most desperate situation, like a hot human my, you buy them a song and definitely ukraine. our army can. it can hold the ground on its own for with that and spot civilian should be protected. and it seems like because he cannot get what he want, get the militarily put in, becomes more angry and more gruel and more bloodthirsty. and he tries to blackmail this. she by inflicting mostly related causal is. so what, what, what the lensky wants is, is, is the best to help with that. all right,

and what about these, these talks between russian, you crated officials that are on the way right now. and the restoration of bail route, what are the chances of them achieving anything this time round? at the very least, she went to sarian corridor i, i, i agree with you can respondent, and the chances are lean because a russian seem to be to be very ukrainian civilians of hook and in the way ukrainian leadership. so like i said us, because booking is black mailing zalesky with an ottoman suffolk of its population with then so death, you know, so he wants you to realize it unless he surrenders, unless he concedes and actually will build q more and more thousands of your brain so unfortunately i'm, i'm bet yvonne of the members of the brain and a couple of hours ago. and now that the, the,

the primary objective of the gradient delegation precisely as you can get in court course. beyond that, i see no, no kind of space for a compromise, because we can definitely need some major concessions on the gradient. part. good to present it in russia as a victory and the ukraine after after suffering. brutal attacks. and nobody has das and experience is a beauty to with thankful for, for such a long time and surprised before we can and for many and the last ukrainians will not accept any concession. so zalesky, even if you want it, he can, he can see if you can surrender. so i see i see simply no, no possibility for a compromise on what strategic issues. but if we achieve at least the medicaid grade or that would be great before we leave you for your kids at the moment, what is the situation there right now?

it's kind of bizarre because they're not in troops or a just good 20 or 30 kilometers in different directions from the cd. but the, the c t scan, the c d. is it safe? not all are all for feel like is i'm working. i'm not all store some work in not not, not all supply available. bought it in terms of safety. it seems ok except to be he explosions all the time. and some of them probably are ukrainian and i do fans and sama maybe an ocean shell and but so far distance. so doesn't seem like it immediately. dangerous. many people are in shelters. i still live in my apartment and don't go to shelter even at night. but m e s, you know what i acknowledge it is a fe nets and even because they become how i could still hear so many thanks today

for being with us, follow mayor clinic that in caves. 1000000 refugees have fled ukraine in the fastest exodus. the century, that's according to the united nations women, children and the elderly of crossing into countries like poland, romania at hungary, un officials say that it's unlike anything they've seen before. poland has been a longstanding critic of the kremlin of the sheltering a large number of people looking to escape war. some polish volunteers are going in to ukraine to provide aid. i'll just say the survey is on the ukranian side of the polish border. assuming that you're with some of those volunteers, one of the aims yes, that's right. we crossed over from the medica border crossing into the border town of chena on the ukrainian side. we've spent the day here and it has to be said a week into this war. in week into the russian invasion,

the lines here are not as long as they used to be. now, that is not to say that they are not long. there are people showing up in the hundreds of cars dropping people off. the line is getting longer as the day gets shorter and more and more people come. but the difference now is that this line is moving, it is going forward. it is going into ukraine for, into poland from ukraine. many people here know that this is this town of shania is their last hurdle hurdle. their last point of before they can cross into the safety of poland. we've been speaking to people here we've, we've, we've spent the day trying to get an understanding of, of the experiences that people have had. and many of the people who've asked for interviews of simply said, no. they said that they don't want to speak to the international media and when asked why they said that the, they feel the international community has left them alone to deal with the kremlin to deal with vladimir putin's invasion of their country. and there is not enough help coming. one of the women we spoke to

a grandmother told us that she feels that. busy nato can do more now putting all of the complexities of global diplomatic relations aside. a grandmother in a border town in ukraine is telling the rest of the world that she feels that there are countries out there, including nato, including western countries that can do more to step up and help ukraine to push russia back. but for now they're on their own and they feel that they are on their own. the scenes we've seen here are ukrainians helping ukrainians with. there are women in vans driving up with cars, full of food, simply shoving candy into the pockets of children as they pass by a helping the elderly along with their bags offering warm food as people here. now wait in line for several hours, not as long as they used to have to, but for several hours to crossing to poland buses or taking people in. and one of the tragic scenes it's become routine here. and in places like this, it border crossings up and down the ukrainian border. our families being dropped off. i fathers who then turn around and go back in to ukraine to defend those

cities out 0. same bas ravi reporting live fat from the ukranian side of poland. border as a many thanks, deed, the international criminal court in the hague is launched. the investigation into where the russia is committing war crimes in ukraine and zeros latasha game report . ukrainians huddled inside a kindergarten last week, thinking they'd be safe. instead, a child and 2 civilians were killed. this is drone footage of the kindergarten showing a man lying on the ground, blood pooling around him, and damage to the school in multiple locations. this weapon from car keith lying, a top ashy snow. this week, the international criminal court, or i, c. c, announced it would investigate if war crimes have been committed in ukraine. this is a reminder to all affections to all parties to the conflict,

but they must conduct themselves in compliance with the laws of war. the drilling down, of course, implication is to conduct credit, but investigations which means has no, ma'am, no destination, that is pre determined. we have to get to the truth. amnesty international says this is just a sampling of the evidence. it is collected of russia, suspected use of cluster munitions since it invaded ukraine. last week, we had investigated 7 cases or in depth aware cluster munitions and other ballistic missiles that have prohibited under international law have struck schools . hospitals. medical center is places that are not supposed to be hit by weapons because they're protected a civilian objects under international law. in 2014 human rights watch accused the ukrainian military of wide spread use of cluster

munitions, while fighting pro russian rebels in don't net political analysts. dmitri babbage says russia demanded an investigation, but it went nowhere unfortunately. oh, meet the national digital voice. yes, arnold, independent. not only from our all dominance, but also room of public opinion. you know right now, obviously march against for our sand. it sees this tragedy that has one on your brand in black and white terms. i think the story is not great. and when fired, cluster munitions create a kind of fireworks of small bombs scattering indiscriminately across several 100 meters. those that don't explode, leave land mines often killing children who pick up the small balls left behind. more than $100.00 countries have agreed to be on their use. russia and ukraine have not. natasha name al jazeera, the russian billionaire roman abramoff,

which has confirmed that he's selling english football club. chelsea of the 19 years of ownership. he's promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of ukraine's war let's get more on this from 0 leave banker who's at stanford bridge stadium in london. of course chelsea so home. tell us more about a broan vicious decision at the fact that he, himself is not under sanctions at the moment. other oligarchs, though, have been targeted specifically their big assets. they've yeah, this is a quick, a very rapid decision by roman abramoff which and obviously nobody can be, can deny the timing of all of this coinciding, of course with the russian invasion of ukraine. ah, rowman above a bench on the weekends or least, a statement in which he said he was a handing over stewardship. i'm chair of the team to the trustees of the club, a 6 individuals before now announcing that the, the club is up,

the sales is expected to reach around $4000000000.00 when it goes on the market. we know that at least one swiss multi billionaire has his eyes on the club. but despite the fact that a bomb of inch has not been sanctioned, all of they say is going ahead. that's not to say that there isn't the will in the desire amongst british m, p 's or a clam, as in parliament this week, particularly from the opposition labor party for the government to do more, to single out. those that have financially stood by vladimir putin side. this is something abram of inches repeatedly denied. he said he has no links to vladimir putin, although he's widely described as being a key putin ero oligarch. as a being very different from the a yell in era ali got so many of them fell foul of vladimir putin. some of them ended up dead. others there in exile. here in the british capital, he made his money, his billions from selling st assets and buying others. before settling in the u. k
