6:04 pm
confirm whether is it exactly along the route itself that had been planned as this kartel as this humanitarian cordele. but certainly we do know in that area, there are a lot of russian and a lot of ukrainian forces in date. one of the villages that we went to, villages that told us that the russian army occupied the village just down the road from then that was only 10 kilometers away last night. and they described the russian army as actually just walking into the village. not facing any opposition whatsoever from the ukrainian military. it's also been interesting today along that route. there is a lot more ukrainian military than we saw yesterday. a lot of troops being moved in on buses, a lot more tanks and armored personnel carriers, defensive positions all the way along that road. basically, you know, concentric circles if you like, pushing out from zap parisha, all ukrainian,

6:06 pm
of gas. and this will be the village where refugees, if they want to come from vulnerable her will comments a few kilometers down the road. there is this cease fire that is supposed to be in place at the moment. we have heard some shelling, but we're told that if the refugees want to come here, this is one of the options they can come to or they can go separately in to russia . but it is an extremely dynamic situation. there is certainly continued shelling and it remains a very dangerous area. and you can here are hillary, that's really not, not far away at all. so a very tense situation really. and if there is a c, sorry to a very, very tenuous one, several buildings have been set on fire in the ukrainian town home. the mel after

6:09 pm
well, they've been deep, uneasy inside odessa for days now about the possibility of an attack by land and by sea. they look at the horizon as elements of the black sea fleet into the landing craft and support craft hovering there. and they are aware that forces the devote taken the time to have song on the black sea just to the west of crimea, a moving through saw an expanding territory, heading towards mc alive, a big ship building center, and then potentially turning westwards to double back on themselves and hit, or that it would be an enormous loss for ukraine if desa were to become a new frontline and perhaps eventually be encircled and occupied accounts for 70 percent of commercial shipping. it is the biggest port. it is a huge economic thoroughfare. it would effectively be an expansion of rushes, strategic objectives along the backs, black sea coast, perhaps to try and cut ukraine off entirely from its axis to the sea,
6:10 pm
as well as the corridor tried to open up between crimea and the breakaway regions in the east, including its sacrament of mary poll looking at we need see going further up the country that airport taken out by allegedly according to mrs. let's get a cruise missiles in evidence that changing russian tactics all the time. the increasing use of long range precision guided missiles on civilian infrastructure. and then you mentioned there that corridor around the capital key of, of the small dormitory time sort of sub urban centers where lots of key of workers will live a reminder constantly on the capital of just how close rushing forces are within 25 to 30 kilometers towns like hostem, l like pin coming under relentless shelling civilians caught up in a pin the latest toll. we've heard in the last few hours, 3 civilians killed enough in 2 of them children. and meanwhile, the diplomacy continues. we know that russia and ukrainian officials are expected
6:11 pm
to be having talks on the border with bellows on monday. just give us a description of what the efforts are to try to find some sort of diplomatic solution to this a number of world leaders dipping their so the toes into rather murky diplomatic waters at the moment . president micron of france has had his 4th links. he telephone call with mister putin. this one now 2nd now and 45 minutes with no discernible results. the israeli prime minister enough, tony bennett, went on a secret mission on saturday, spending 3 hours with mister putin in moscow before heading off to berlin to talk with the german government. there are no discernible results out of those meetings, either the one that has produced at least detail if not progress is the meeting between mister put in a telephone call rather between mister putin and turkey's president, reggie of type one turkey. of course, a nato member has good ties with both russia and with ukraine. has said that the
6:12 pm
invasion is unacceptable and called for an immediate halt. mister one set to mister putin in the cool that he should declare a cease fire. open humanitarian corridors and sign a peace agreement that's according to the turkey side. according to the kremlin, mister putin responded that the fight would only holt. if kia, kia, stop the fighting, laid down its weapons, and met all of russia's conditions. and we know what those are, of course, the surrender of the military, the neutrality of the country. no membership of nato ever the recognition of crimea as a part of russia after its annexation into 1014. and of course, the recognition of the independence of those east breakaway republics. and mister putin said he hoped that with the changing facts on the ground now the reality as he put it, of an operation going very well that ukrainian negotiators would take a more constructive stance in talks expected to happen. the next round of talks on monday and i'll bring you up to date from the they've jonah, thank you. the north western city of z eskimiya has been hit by heavy shelling and
6:13 pm
recent days, more than a dozen buildings. some of them residential have been destroyed. several people, including children, have been killed during attacks launched by russian forces are correspondence their vice and has more forms in the mail in western ukraine. well, this is just an, a very ordinary residential area. told me, and this is how an s strike or the impact of an s right. looks like a russian air strike was done here on friday. a missile hit this area. this house, there was a young woman, a 28 years old. she died here. we just spoke to her father in that house over there . you see some people on the roof. 3 children got severely injured, ended up in hospital, the youngest was 3 years old. this is a pure residential area. it's not very far from an air base or military base. i have to say the military base is like hundreds of me to that way. and it's very
6:14 pm
hard for these residents to understand what was actually the purpose of this strike wasn't really the military base, or was it was this the target? so there's a lot of anger here in this area because this is a 3rd residential area that i've seen struck here. and she told me a since i've arrived here. there was another one over there also in the vicinity of the military base, but not quite there. also residential area, lots of shops destroyed. and people are here just freaking through the rubble. they're still like, completely in shock. lots of emotions, heartbreaking stories. people really completely don't understand why this area was hit. people have nowhere to go. they say, because this is an unsafe area, lots of people have left, they don't know where to go. and it's just picking up the pieces trying to find something that is still valuable, that they can,
6:15 pm
that they can keep. but the anger here is unbelievable. the people are really defiant, people are still here, say we're not going anywhere. and if the russians come, we will fight them personally. more than 1500000 ukrainians and fled to neighboring countries who escaped the fighting. but others have decided to stay behind to join local units to protect their country. odyssey is ha, the are the homemade of visited a village in the nipple region in eastern ukraine and spoke to one of those units under rose of easton ukraine, their dos, taking their children to safety. an endless slug of cars trying to reach to close his border. it will take days and there do staying behind to defend their country. like these men, we met near the village of men. they know the forest well. they usually go hunting here, but now it's time to dig trenches, philips and bags, and build bunkers in case the russian soldiers will come their way. ah,
6:16 pm
they're part of the locally formed territorial defense units. they include season men like any k, not his real name, who 1st joined in 2016 to fight the pro russian separatists in the east of the country that has a neighborhood the piper that you're asking about our mood if we really to defend ourselves after this treacherous invasion of ukraine, women, children, and the ugly, suffering homes of bombs at night. of course, the army is very angry about that. if we didn't provoke and we didn't want the school, they came to us and we ready to answer. he hopes that the russians could be slowed down, but these handmade spikes, similar positions are being built a bit all over the ne provision and has become even more urgent now to have them completed. because the region has become the 1st stop for those fleeing the russian advance from either the south or the north east of the country to honda. at the
6:17 pm
village, ludmilla is busy cooking $200.00 meals. and the menu to day ras sonic a hearty soup that will be put in jars and taken to the checkpoints, and trenches where her husband is also on duty. for some of these women, this war is hitting close to home. acela's, son in law is in the regular army on a front mine. she can't reveal which i am a groom. did i get? my daughter is keeping busy like me, just to not go crazy. it's our country. we have to protect it. we will leave by thought. what can i do? we are all in the same boat. and what can i say about the soldiers who came to our country to kill us and pretend they didn't know. they have been here for more than 7 days and i still dont my back in the forest. the territorial defense gets ready for the cold night ahead. the russians are still far away. but this is
6:18 pm
a war of missiles and rockets that are devastating cities and villages. and here, there are no signs of modern weaponry that could repelled the onslaught for most ukrainians. the only safe way is to go west and get as far as possible. but up did meet algebra in easton, ukraine. more than 200 children, her moved from an orphanage in se ukraine, after russian troops at sac to near by nuclear power station. they were in the town of zor, parisha were some of the children is said to have been terrified by constant air raid sirens. the orphanage directors jarling by train with them to bring them to safety and neighboring poland. what you know, what a shipping, if you put in a saying that he is doing something here, but he is simply killing people, simply killing people that i don't understand why the russian people cannot believe that we are being bombarded, that we and our children are being killed it is very hard. i'm sorry. we don't want to leave ukraine. we love it. it is so hard. but unfortunately,
6:19 pm
we must leave. we really want to come back. i'll correspond as in basra is following the situation at a border crossing between ukraine and poland. you spoke to philip randi the united nations high commissioner for refugees. it's very difficult to even listen to their stories. days and days of travel in the cold from their bomb cities, to seek safety here in poland. i saw the same 2 days ago in moldova, in romania it's all over, but poland this is taking the brunt of this enormous avalanche of people. 1.5000000, as you said, just today will reach this terrible figure and the what we or so here is that hundreds of thousands are on the move. so, and this is the prediction of the border guards here, who by the way, are doing
6:20 pm
a very good job. and they predict that the flow will increase not decrease in the next few days, and perhaps beyond. now as you said, 1500000 people have already crossed. it hasn't even been 2 weeks. your prediction of 4000000 you were saying earlier might be too small in estimation. and it is a country of more than $40000000.00 people, a country that is currently under siege. what are your long term predictions for what might happen, or how much worse do you think it's going to get? is there any way to plan for it? it really depends on the conflict. if bombs continue to rain on cities, people we leave the yesterday or the day before i can't even remember in moldova. many people told me that they were leaving odessa don't dare say, not under attack because the sirens started the a resounding and they're so afraid that they leave. so it really depends on that. that's why it's so important. yes, there's
6:21 pm
a lot of talk about humanitarian corridors that's very important. we are may organization like others are in ukraine, will participate in any such operation to bring any relief to anybody who is trapped in the cities. but we need more than that, we need is he's far we need a secession of hostilities. your secretary said on to the blank and placed his support to the people of moldova, as it faces a surge of people fleeing ukraine. as president says, the country needs help from the international community to cater for the refugees. duncan's providing reassurances and american support to one of europe's harassed countries. $250000.00 ukrainian refugees have already streamed into mil dover, which is putting a strain on the countries social services rushes unprovoked. unwarranted war on ukraine has kicked off humanitarian crisis that is already having a vast effect across the region, including here in the republic. mold over as of today, as the president said,
6:22 pm
an estimated 240000 people from ukraine, have crossed the border into moldova, fleeing for their lives. there mostly women and children. their number will grow only so joint efforts, consistent efforts, rapid efforts of all the partners that we can help out. a crane. we d need at rapid assistance and development of the international community festival in what it is, sees their bottles and to restore the piece id. hope adair did to decline to taken of it. it was these in their countries of these region contributes on it. get there, we have a day, a visit of some other. our high ranking officials, t, the peace efforts of the crane. this is what we all want. this is what we all deserve, especially the crane us. model was as former soviet state,

6:24 pm
a few me. the sandwich in the rivers of blood and tears are flowing in ukraine. this is not just a military operation, but a war which sells death destruction, misery. the number of victims is increasing. the hours are the people flee, especially mothers and children, and that martyred country. the need for humanitarian assistance is growing by the hour c m. i make a heartfelt appeal for humanitarian corridors to be genuinely secured, and for it to be guaranteed and facilitated access to the besieged areas. to provide vital relief to our brothers and sisters oppressed by palms and fear, then it will be prose for peace in ukraine's capital. cavers anger grows against the russian invasion. 275 russian orthodox clergy around the world have signed an open letter criticising russia's war in ukraine. that breaks with church leadership in moscow. meanwhile, evangelical denominations in ukraine want their leaders in russia to condemn the violence. one pastor said no political interest or gall can justify the deaths of

6:29 pm
the u. s. secretary of state visited moldova for a quarter of a 1000000 refugees of all that he arrived from new frame. or duncan says the u. s. may send plains to poland to back fill. warsaw numbers, if the polish government sends some of its own planes to help ukraine. we are. we're looking actively now. at the question of aeroplanes, the poland may provide to, to ukraine. and looking at how we might be able to backfill should on decide to produce those but 2 hours of supply. those plants can speak to a timeline, but i can just say you were looking at it very, very actively flagler, which is a senior lecture, a military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth. he's also a former military officers who served in the balkans, iraq and afghanistan, and he's joining us from zoom from oxford in the u. k. good to have you with a so and i'll de 0. let me ask you 1st because there are so many moving parts and this what's your assessment of hope?
6:30 pm
both russia and ukraine are doing compared to say a week ago? well i think most analysts, people like myself take the view that the ukrainians are coming up to prove we expected them to be effective. they've been ready for this for years. they've been trained by western forces and if you look away. busy their regular forces look the way they present themselves. they present themselves very much like nato forces, like british american, french, or german troops, professional, well equipped and so forth. what really shocking, no, is the way the russian forces have. essentially, i use this word hesitatingly collapsed over the last 10 days or so, but much volunteered come my arms operations force that learned so much from their conflicts over the last few years. it's proven to be a bit of a paper tiger at the moment, but nonetheless, that paper tiger soon it turn in something that's really deadly for the people of, of ukraine. let me ask you about that because there's been
6:31 pm
a lot of speculation has on there over the last few days about why, for example, there is that convoy that everybody had been talking about that was about 60 kilometers long sitting north or creek here, essentially not doing very much and the russian movement shall we say being slower than had been anticipated. what's your assessment of why that might be rob? it's a failure of planning of preparation. logistics. it's very clear that those troops from would see this from capture p, o w accounts. we see this from fairly fairly objective of course, which is front ready for what's gonna happen. they were not really probably weren't prepared for logistics, which is new, which is the most important element of military operations. professionals taught logistics, amazon, or tactics. and the russians have failed manager sticks, he and they failed last ethic because they overestimated their own capabilities and underestimated the ukrainians, and particularly with respect to their own capabilities. they fail to deal with the trivia with what you are. i'm or any people might, regardless trivia, fueling food,
6:32 pm
general supplies. what route. so you're going to take, how are you going to space your vehicles? how are you going to actual on your how you can organize and arrange your time. and this all speaks to a real lack of preparation and a real lack of planning. and that's the most difficult part of the military operation is getting things right early, getting things right. well, in time for your operations, it's very clear the russians hadn't done including president valuable. zalinski seems determined that odessa, the black sea port is going to be the next target for the russian assault. i can understand why that would be of significance, of course, to, to cutting off ukraine from the, the ports of the black sea, but in military terms. why would that be to the advantage of russia? what? well, he's already outlined one of the major, major advantages and the other. the other element is that it allows what looks too many on an operational him,
6:33 pm
some movement. and otherwise you're advancing along the southern coast. yours to then challenge challenge the chance ne terminus. and it's southeast in flank dana, towards romania and moldova, particularly. and it may well have grant strategic implications in one of the possible futures for ukraine is. those are sort of landlocked staplers controlled entirely by, by russia. and that may be one of the ways in which this is shaping up, but obviously russia, it, it wants also to define itself by taking a russian speaking. hi, lisa. historically significant city, which right now and has always been in ukraine proper. again, over the last few weeks, there's been a lot of speculation about the purpose of the, the russian navy, which has been operating in the black sea. does that give us any clue as to what the navy and but one possible amphibious assault forgive my simplistic terms in the
6:34 pm
event that they took a death in the event that they are able to take essentially control of the ukrainian coast on the black sea? does that allow them militarily to move those supplies in, excuse me, that you were talking about that are so necessary for russia? yes, i don't. i don't think that's. that's the purpose. primarily it's good to have an extra 3 or 4 battle groups or italian, italian groups of 3 or 4000 people are on those ships and some of their supplies. i don't think that's, that's going to be decisive. and furthermore, let's not forget that turkey has blocked, essentially blocked black c to russian fleet. so that source of replenish and from the, from the boss versus, is cut off. however, of course, our other sources from russia itself on the other side of the black sea. so yes, is it, there's a relevance that and the other strategic post at the south coast is, is looking far ahead. russian navy, out 2027, put his prompts is going to be a modern navy, then each ship building for that. and the best ship building in that part of the
6:35 pm
world as the facilities are in no cities of the south coast, not least, mario pulp and addresses. so it's moving along to the west of odessa. we've got the break away republic pro russian republic of transistor which is next to or within the borders of, of moldova. or what role do you think that could play? again, trying to speculate forward about how the russian military operation could go for president lucas shanker. all or is it something attack your own goal or the day with is revelation through it is map upon which is briefing of the main axis of attack that he took from from the russian plan. one of those axis was as you say, rob towards moldova. now moldova has 22 significant elements. 2 1st is is already a russian unit there, about $1500.00 people, it's militarily and significant. but it's also technically part of mild over said the invasion force proceed into trans district. could well be that,
6:36 pm
that alters thing. steve. second is a huge supply depot in moldova, itself, about 2 kilometers over the border from ukraine to place cassandra, where there is $20000.00 tons of mostly soviet area era ammunition disagreements, which is it's very dangerous and probably unstable. and it may well be that they have some objective there to, to take secure that music going for them. i'm not sure how we heard earlier on. are you a secretary of state antony blink and saying that they were considering supplying us it jets, us fighter jets to poland, to allow poland to release some of its original. it's older fighter jets for the use in the ukraine. do you think that that, given that there is a risk, of course, that, that, that nato desperately wants to avoid, which is having natal forces facing off against the russian forces? what do you think the risk is that if that happens, we could actually be in a situation where we're bringing nato forces up against russian fighters. well,
6:37 pm
the 1st thing about transfer is it takes place, a sense of a lot of that emission failure to have taken out of the picture. ukrainian air force is astonishing. i haven't done that in the 1st week, and it speaks wants to go into the conference lack of preparation, frankly, operation incompetence, but to direct it to go directly to your question. those 20 or so make 20 nines are unlikely to make a strategic, which is to say, decisive difference, but they will make an operational difference. that's to say, they will go to continue to challenge the russians in the provided they can protect them on the ground. not, but at that strategic level, what's where the war is decided, willis, spring nato. when that's a decision that can only come from boot, it may well be that putin sees this as an escalation, that the provision of air power, as opposed to anti aircraft missiles, ratty tank missiles, which are tactical weapons at lower levels of conflict weapons. the provision
6:38 pm
