a broader wall. a wanting the conflict in ukraine is pushing millions of people towards hunger, while aid workers appealed to health. and world famous cricketer shane warne known for his record breaking spin, bowling has done russia has declared a temporary c spy in and around 2 areas of ukraine that have faced a heavy bombardment. its forces is set to stop fighting to allow people in mary a poll and vul nava cut a safe passage out. mary pole has been under stage 4 days with residence facing a shortage of electricity, food and water. charles stratford joins us live now from denay pro and has latest developments. charles, what more details he hearing about these humanitarian carto will,

according to the head of the de netscape regional administration. this sir corridor began around an hour ago and will last another 6 hours until 4 o'clock local time. he's also saying that there are 3 points in the city where bosses are gathering to for people to get on board to collect, to take through to the city of zap parisha. now city of zachary sherry is about $300.00 or so. and actually at least 300 kilometers to the north of mary awful. it's a city that we visited repeatedly in the last few days. a city about an hour and a half south from here. a city that can only really be described as preparing for a siege itself. tank traps, checkpoints thousands of suits, civil defense volunteers in and around that city. we know that there are

russian forces around an hour or even less than that south of his upper asia. now, this corridor that has been set up that will take people across country. we understand north west, through rural areas and the mer i sorry, the, the head of the regional administration, also encouraging private car owners to fill their cars with as many people as they can to get people out of marable to zappa risha. and as you say, we know that marielle pull has been pretty much on the seizure. for the last few days. we spoke to a member of one of the paramilitary groups inside the city yesterday. he said that so there were large arrow as it areas of the city without water, without electricity. we know the city has come under heavy shelling. we've seen pictures of places that we visited literally only a week ago that sir was shell that were on fire. we know that there was a, a convoy of russian military including heavy weapons like tanks and artillery that

moved from the west towards mary apple. about 3 or 4 days ago, we know that they have been sharing the city. we also know that the city has come under heavy shedding as well from the east. we understand a push being led to by separatist forces. the city of course, of huge strategic importance to both sides. if indeed, it does fall into the control of the russians, it would give russia a corridor effectively from the east, from the separatist control regions all the way to russia. it would link crimea, and of course, crimea is linked to russia via a land bridge. with respect to the other town vol, nova, which we understand there is a humanitarian corridor being set up from there. also, one of occur is about a 100 kilometers, also north of mary awful. it's another town that has come under in credible shilling in the last few days. we've seen pictures of a russian back separatists,

her military vehicles fighting in that town. we know that there are thousands of people trapped there, as well as yet less details as to how that corridor will walk. because as i said, work, as i say, because it is a 100 kilometers north of mary awful. but sir, we understand that there are hundreds of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands of people trapped in both cities. so a window of hope, at least for those civilians to get out. but as we've seen in conflicts around the world, time and time again, it's one thing announcing a temporary cease fire for such a humanitarian cordele. but it's another thing altogether, making it work. i'm actually campus updated as to how that civilian evacuation guys funky very much chance stratford live present. jennifer, ukraine's president is accusing nato of giving russia the greenlight to further bombard and kill ukrainians. a lot of me, zalinski says he lives his refusal to establish

a no fly zone will only add to civilian deaths. the city overture near for just 143 kilometers from the capital cave came under heavy bombardment overnight. the sheer scale of the destruction is getting worse, as russian forces moved deeper into ukraine. president zalinski blamed any further deaths or destruction on nato's inaction. was she lord, the yankee, the hamlet which all people who die from this day forward will die because of you? because of your weakness, because of your lack of unity. all that the alliance was able to do today was to pass foods procurement system, 50 tons of diesel fuel for ukraine will perhaps, so that we could burn the budapest memorandum guaranteeing ukraine security. let's bring in, jonah holl, who's live for us in at levine. hello there, jonah fees, criticism from the ukranian president, but that's unlikely to be enough to change nato's mind. president landscape message hardening all the time. and,

and of course that he's because the situation that he's country faces is worsening . all the time. mario paul is not the only city by any manner of means that needs a humanitarian corridor and needs it desperately. you've got battlefields all the way from the north in germany have as you said, the renew to tax there all the way down to the sort of dormitory towns that surround the capital key of mark leap, bought a young, been hostile bell all under repeat. and almost constant certainly threat and attack on civilian areas, car keys to the east. russian forces 10 kilometers from the center there. and renewed concerns now about odessa, in the south with forces moving apparently in a westerly direction, from hatch song through because live perhaps to double back on that enormous port city or desa. already worried about a possible naval landing with vessels of the black sea fleet. hovering in the

distance from mister landscape point to view the help that he needs is not coming. what he wants is a no fly zone. his message to nato. if you don't provide that, no fly zone, the blood to come will be on your hands and an extraordinary message to deliver to the alliance at a time when they are sort of congratulating themselves on their very unity in reinforcing their easton flank with new forces. but of course, ukraine is not part of that eastern flight ukraine is not a member of nato. ready and jen stoughton, but the secretary general speaking on friday made it abundantly clear that a no fly zone is not an option. he said it would involve shooting down russian aircraft in order to prosecute that no fly zones that risks an appalling conflagration. pitching russia with the west and of course, with all that we saw yesterday around the nuclear installation in the upper asia. the implications are clear. beyond that, that a western russia war could well involve nuclear weapons. i janet thank you very

much for bringing up to spade jana hall live for us in love aids the u. n. z world food program is trying to fade 5000000 people in desperate need inside ukraine. it's director general. david basically says those who have managed to escape are the lucky ones. the w. f. p has set up distribution warehouses in neighboring countries to get food to people in crane. it's amazing just being here in poland. watch the people who do not even know many of these people. this may be in the metaphors, given the rats where they need it, but you certainly getting hot bills taken to where they want to go. this really, really quite remarkable. now, on the other side of the equation, we planned to reach 3 to 5000000 people inside ukraine for those who can't get out, and those who are going to be needing to support immediately. they, my russians, government has blocked facebook, restricted access to twitter and ban some foreign media websites. that's after it

approved a new law against what it considers. thank news. in response, bloomberg announced it will pull its journalists out of russia or seen an we'll stop broadcasting them. russia's communications watchdog says it's documented more than 20 cases of what it calls, discrimination by facebook are not met platforms. since light 2020 facebook has banned the accounts of state bank to channels r t and r i a news agency from moscow dosage. barry has more on the new media law, which includes prison sentences. anything you touched? no to war was the final statement broadcast on russia's last independent tv channel, tv, rain, all its employees walked out and protests against what the c, a severe government censorship. and in its final seconds on air. it showed this

a nod to russian history. this one like ballet performance was broadcast on state tv in the soviet era, either at times of political crises or after the death of a leader. it was famously shown in 1991 during the attempted coup that contributed to the end of the soviet union. for many here it's now become a symbol of broken dreams and political instability. tv rain was founded in 2010, with the motto, talk about important things with those who are important to us. now, after the start of russia, so called special military operation in ukraine, this channel is no longer able to continue because of government interference. on friday, both houses of parliament past the new law aimed a targeting media outlets that are accused of spreading fake information. it is now

a criminal offense to spread what the government considers misinformation about its military, a crime which could land journalists in prison for up to 15 years. members of the russian government believe this is crucial in protecting the armed forces mission, which you should thoughts. taking into account the situation that is happening in the media space. all those id company, starting for instagram that say, and others are located in the united states of america. it is understandable that they use as weapons. they're bringing him, trade and lice, must counter it, and protect armed forces. the hammer of state censors have also targeted one of the most well known radio stations in the country echo of moscow took to the airwaves in august of 1990. shortly before the fall of the soviet union, the following year, its motto, all significant points of view about events should be presented no longer appears to apply to journalists in russia. tatiana felton gower was a journalist working at both tv,

rain and echo of moscow. ethel rosner epl rosner at the cook. the it's terrible, it's a catastrophe, a true catastrophe. an absolutely terrific mistake by vladimir putin who decided to plunge russia into this. i will say it again. catastrophe. and i'm terribly scared both for my country and for ukraine. i'm terribly ashamed in front of ukrainians. it's incredible for me to realize that the president of my country started this and i'm afraid that there's nothing go ahead for my country. and for me, as a citizen, russia's independent media are slowly disappearing, accused or falsely depicting the war in ukraine. no, i guess that is one of the last independent newspapers here, and it's editor dmitri moreton, who share the nobel peace prize last year. says his paper could be on the verge of shutting down. that's because, according to him, anything that's not propaganda is being eliminated. doors at

a blurry al jazeera moscow still ahead on al jazeera, we turned to the u. s. to see how domestic gas prices could affect future sanctions on russia and china's government. since it's lowest economic growth target in more than 30 years, we'll have a report from badging. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways. now the stormy weather we've seen across northern europe for the whole winter is sort of slow down to some degree. now. is a big area of settled where the big area of antique at well to if you like a split one and cycling here and cycling there, which means the weather is quite often squashed. often foggy, often, while the cold out essays and he just marks the

a spring lambs in northern germany. but they won't like it very by temperatures or in the low single figure, some most of central and eastern europe, the stormy weather. down here in the balkans there are few shares usefully elsewhere, for example, in spain and portugal. but the picture of the most part is a quiet one. the winds are not that strong, it's often gloomy. berlins any 4 degrees. in fact, to look at north julius represented by berry with added to degrees on sunday, the average should be for those lands at 9 degrees. sarajevo is sitting in sibley weatherford but a week ago it still smoke temperatures hovering around the freezing and is not particularly windy just as a cast to so useful rain, although sometimes quite heavy in some parts of southeastern spain, extending into north africa. huge amounts of stone, the balkans, bulgaria, and also into northern greece that slowly eventually crossed the aegean to into rain or snow. of course, once again in turkey. ah,

the weather sponsored by cats are always dictatorships to democracies. activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want into here. we care about the environment you do to, you should buy our oil cleared for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you consume on al jazeera lou . the me that is here, i'm emily, anger, and reminder that hot stories, the sound rushes declared a temporary fi, fi in and around mary pool and

a whole nother cough to allow people to leave through humanitarian cargo. cities have been under heavy bombardment by russian for the ukrainian cd of junior has come under heavy bombardment overnight. it's about 140 kilometers from the capital washington to extensive damage time from the air and ukraine president flooding the lamps. he has put aside measures with you to create a no, no fly zone rather over his country. if there's the alliance would be to blame for any further death and destruction. as late as impose tough sanctions on russia. they're mindful of the impact in their home countries. american, for example, is saying some of the highest petrol prices use, even though russian oil hasn't been sanctioned. gabriel, alexander explains why,

from neil. the unprecedented sanctions are directly aimed at the russian economy of indiana was predicted. there could be a wider effect on the global economy as well, particularly, and higher prices of petrol. and that's exactly what we're now starting to see here in new york, the price of a gallon of petrol in some places is over $5.00, or just over $1.25 a liter. it's a highest. it's been since 2014 just overnight thursday and friday, the price of petrol jumped $0.11 in the u. s. and it's gone up $0.29 since russia began its invasion of ukraine. russian oil has not yet been sanction. so the question is, why are petrol prices still rising then it's complicated, but the short answer is, is that oil traders are worried about higher prices of doing business in russia. primarily can they get oil tankers into russian ports? and also,

how are they going to deal with exchanging money with russian banks that have been sanctioned as well? just a few of their concerns. this is why they're buying less russian. oil and prices are then going up, add it all up, and that is why we're seeing higher prices at the pump. so the world news now and the head of the you and nuclear watchdog is in tyron, is talks to revive the 2015 at nuclear deal in vienna and peace be reaching their end. but despite international sanctions, driving its economy to ruin, critic say iran is unwilling to take a step back vessel. sadder explains why it's willing to risk so much for its nuclear program. international pressure, crippin sanctions and even the threat of war. so far, nothing has discouraged iran from its nuclear ambitions. some analysts say its determination is part of the harass strategy either in addition to the medical needs, satiating,

the medical needs of the country as well as all in all are of the needs of tomorrow . for the nuclear propulsion engine ships, ah, this is also a punishment, a response actually to the western hostility and these release hostilities, this was humped somehow a declaration of all our tit for tat policy from now on. iran has long desired nuclear technology following the islamic revolution in 1979. most countries cut off all nuclear cooperation with darren and read out reliable foreign tool supplies. iran started, they will open its own nuclear program. but as a consequence, it has been under the chronic sanctions since the 19 ninety's. the west has been suspicious of the companies once you're into nuclear energy, especially because of the high cost it has paid. some experts also see it makes little sense,

considering iran is among the world's richest in natural resources. but your us is, it scores are peaceful and it needs nuclear power. today was face energy sector. as it's oil fields will eventually be depleted by giving up much control of its nuclear activities with the 2015 deal. iran has also hooked upon his to west that it only means peace videos, route neos him more, gram dado meconium. we will need peaceful nuclear energy sooner or later if we fail to address these long term issues to day, we will face problems to morrow, but the west impose the sanctions. despite knowing our nuclear energy project is peaceful since just left. the agreement in 2018. iran has deploy centrifuges that can produce nuclear fuel more quickly and brought it uranium enrichment program closer to weapons grade level. uranium enrichment is a dual use technology available for both civilian and military purposes. when you renew it and reach to 5 person,

it can fuel nuclear power plants at 20 percent. it can be used in research reactors, but 90 percent is nuclear weapon ray. and iran has already ambition uranium up to 60 percent western powers fear the racial will on to rise as negotiations in vienna continue to stole their seniors concerns over on the grad ramos. obviously, in a building, a cited for david, a, d, i the only click was taught because it was working on the tans in iraq, which he did not declare that was the bill by the end. iranian position. obviously when documents were waiting for the ice, they started, they found a link to the age you caught up. so there are serious concerns, ram iran's nuclear program, which are legitimate. some analysts see just by having the technology that could be used to make a bomb. iran will increase its sense of security and gain political influence in the middle east and is defiance of perceived. western hostility is

a useful tool for its leaders and domestic politics. bristol said that o, j 0 to iran, eli voting his underway in south korea's presidential election. one of the last actions of the outgoing president, manjeet was to grant a pardon to his predecessor as rub mcbride reports from de goon. she was jailed 5 years ago for corruption and remains influential in south korean politics. in this well to do suburb of the southeastern city of dago, there is a buzz of excitement at the prospect of a new neighbor, former conservative president park on hey, to you. i, the daughter of strong man president hawked young he, she is considered to be political royalty white by supporters who are already being drawn to her home, even though she has yet to move in. webinar graham is al, hello. i hope she loves healthy and well for the rest of her life. daniel walton. i hope she prays for the development and stability of the country and she inspires
