[000:00:00;00] ah, a 2nd attempt to evacuate the besieged, ukrainian city of mateo. paul fails. both russia and ukraine. blame each other for violating is cease fire. ah, i'm wrong about this, and this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up, fierce fighting elsewhere in ukraine with several cities under fire by russian forces. i'm here at the high school number 25, and as you told me, and that's actually just west of the capital p. s, and i'm here at what's left of the school more than 1500000 ukrainians have now

fled their country in the largest refugee crisis in europe. in decades, russian president vladimir putin talks to foreign leaders. bots, promises to keep off his military campaign. a 2nd attempt to move thousands of people out of the besieged city of money. a pole has failed. ukraine and russia are accusing each other, violating another ceasefire. 400000 people live in the coastal city which has been subjected to heavy russian shelling. international red cross says that she monetary and situation there is catastrophic. now, a corridor was originally set up on saturday. it was to allow civilians to leave mario pole and head towards the city of zap alicia, further up to the north west. but it quickly fell apart and again, both sides have been accusing each other, bringing terms the terms of the agreement. charles traffic is close to the

ukrainian city of zeppelin. another failed attempt to getting potentially hundreds of thousands of traps civilians out of the besieged city of mary opal. we've been speaking to some civilians inside the city who say that so there is very little electricity across the city. very little water. we seen pictures of people scrambling into what we understand are semi destroyed supermarkets and shopping malls. trying to gather as much food and materials as best they can protect themselves, keep themselves warm and fade, as we understand at hundreds of thousands of them, are living in basements, living underneath their buildings. we've also spoken to ukrainian soldiers in the city. they sang, they accusing the russians of starting to shell, whilst the attempts out to get people on buses and had to had started. simon wanted accusations being made by the wash and back separatists,

the spokes person for the self declared donates people's republic militia, saying that sam, the ukrainians had started shelling 1st. now we were south of zap parisha most of the day in towns and villages along that route. we saw a lot more military along that route than we saw yesterday, craner soldiers, b austin, and take it in on bussey's, put into positions that french is being dug a lot more common personnel carriers tanks and anti aircraft weapons. and it was around about the time that we were getting news that the, the attempts to get civilians out of mary elbow had failed. that there was no mighty upsurge in shelling in that area. one village that we went to villages there told us that the neighboring village had been occupied by russian forces the night before. they saying that the russians just walked in to this village on opposed. so very worrying situation,

as i say in the besieged city of mariel for hundreds of thousands of people, yet again going to bed very afraid to night civilians would also be evacuated from the knock over to the village of bu gas, which is now under the control of russian backed forces from the yeah, it's not just a few kilometers from the latest front line. and smith is there. will gas had only been secured in the last few hours and it still feels very much like an active battlefield. certainly on the way in here, we saw very close by to our tillery shells, continuing to be fired. but for the meanwhile, it is quiet here. humanitarian aid is being given out to the local residence of the gas, and this will be the village where refugees, if they want to come from vulnerable, her will come. it's

a few kilometers down the road. there is this sci fi 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 hear that are hillary. that's really no, not far away at all. so a very tense situation really. and if there is a c, sorry to a very, very tenuous one, dozens of people have been forced to abandon their homes after airstrikes on the outskirts of ukraine's capital cave, russian and ukrainian forces battling for control. of course, the mil airport hum at vall has the details residential buildings on fire in hostem

at northwest of give and me a by in the town of it been dramatic scenes and heavy shelling by the russian army civilians trying to help the wounded. in the absence of medical workers, there was also heavy damage here at the she, tommy tack, plant, and destruction in the cities of kirsten and of rock. in the she told me region in northern ukraine according to state media exam. in his latest statement, president valadez zalinski said rush and shelling has destroyed the average shift cup van. it's your international airport. he warned. russia is preparing to bombay stories south eastern port city of odessa. the city has more than a 1000000 people, including bulgarian and jewish minorities. or this, or this, they are planning to bombard odessa. the russians always used to come to odessa and they felt only warmth, only sincerity in odessa,

and now bombs are coming against odessa, artillery, marseilles. this is going to be a war crime, a historic crime would. but the russian army is talking only about military targets . it says it has destroyed $2230.00 military facilities in ukraine during what it calls a special operation. offensive continues to stoke popular anger, ukraine, especially in the southeast region. there was hope thousands could escape from the deceased city of mighty upon in the southeast. but the evacuation was called off after both sides claimed cease 5 violations. many other ukrainians escaped russian bombardment for neighboring countries. you and hcr says the number of refugees has now passed 1500000, making it the largest exit in europe since world war 2010. let's take a closer look at a dash,

which is the 3rd largest city in ukraine. it's often known as the pile of the black sea, but it's also a significant port for the wider region was strategic pipelines, while a chemical processing facilities, as well as major transport hubs. if russia managers to take the city, it would cut off ukraine's access to the black sea agidir's. almost luffy has more from odessa high that we talk about the invite. if you have the we've been hearing sirens in odessa here where we stand. ukrainian army says they've down to russian your plane. this comes after a statement made by the governor of odessa, who said that all the air defenses have been put into action along the black sea coast. these statements imply that a new batch of missiles and aircraft had been received by the ukrainian army in the city or at the same time. these statements may also explain precedence. lensky is warning and how that russia may strike odessa using warplanes and said that odessa has been warmly welcoming russian tourists for years. but now it's come under

russian bombardment. he also said, if russia bombard the city for it will be a historical crime and a war cry, i guess it is the heart of tourism in ukraine. it receives millions of tourists annually. the majority of whom are russians. it's also important to note that the center of the city has not come under attack so far. it's only the outskirts of the city that have been targeted crime in the northwest since if he was at home. it has also been hit by heavy shelling. more than a dozen buildings, some of them residential, have been destroyed in recent days, sebastian has more from she told me, well, this is just an very ordinary residential area in the told me yes. 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 hard for these residents to understand. what was actually the purpose of this strike was it's 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, 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 picking 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 just picking up the pieces, trying to find something that is still valuable, that they can that, that they can keep. but the anger here is unbelievable that people are really defiant. people are still here. say we're not going anywhere. and if the russians come, we will fight them personally. or many ukrainians are joining local defense units to protect their country from russian forces or does it is hot or the hamid visited a village in the neutral region in eastern ukraine and spoke to one of those units and the rows of eastern ukraine, their dose taking their children to safety, an endless slug of cars trying to reach to close his border. it will take days in their dose, 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. phillips and bags and build bunkers in case the russian soldiers come their way. ah, they're part of the locally form 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, yasenya priscilla 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 are bombed 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 are 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,

per region 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 village, ludmilla is busy cooking 200 meals and the menu to day rest 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 line. she can't reveal which in the room did that. 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 all in the same boat. and what can i see about the soldiers who came to our country to kill us and pretend they didn't know that they have been here for more

than 7 days. and i still don't my, back in the forest, the territorial defense gets ready for the cold night ahead. the russians are still far away. but this is a war of mistletoe rockets that are devastating cities and villages. and here, there are no signs of modern weaponry that could repel the onslaught for most ukrainians. the only safe way is to go west and get as far as possible. but up the hamid algebra in eastern ukraine still had an ard. is it a freezing unto russia visa and mastercard, because of them latest major corporations to stop business in the country and a promise of support here? secretary of state, i believe lincoln pledge is helpful. moldova is it takes in thousands of refugees. ah,

with the weather is not settled down yet. we got yet another brewing stolen, easton bottle mediterranean. the last one is still visible as a wind, a few like sandstone, really good part of northern sadie. bit secuity and even the lower ground in the round. but we're talking range out and snow showers in the higher ground. the same is true in turkey and the heads across to afghanistan, south of a ways look at the wind direction. it's more in a suddenly breeze. now that's giving quite warm weather for the time of year in baghdad. for example, the average is about about $21.00 this time. yes. so it up to about 10 degrees higher than that, or when say, unfortunate, that means usually a radius subtly with that it's a dusty one quite likely on wednesday. now, as i said, we've got things spreading across the round towards afghans and significance, though seems likely during tuesday, may be dosing cobble, but not far away from cobble and low levels. it will be rain, a zip for the south. i'm still looking for big chows in kenya,

they're not. and yet they're in tanzania, and then across further west in and go, in fact, that seasonal rain in and go run, it stretches down through western botswana, the acr of anger delta. this bit here, where you see the wildlife blue as the rains start to fall on the delta floods. and that's the forecast for monday, stretching all way down to the south coast of africa. ah, with frank assessments for china. well, benefit from the 0 call it strategy if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs. and on fridays on that statement, critical debate with claims that native constitutes an interest and chill threat to russia. but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera

lou. ah, what your, how does it a reminder? what top stories this of evacuation plans have been cancelled in the disease of ukrainian city of mateo, pull that escape corridor for civilians has been abandoned for a 2nd time after both sides accused each other. oh, violating a temporary cease fire. several ukrainian cities continues to come under fire of the western city. as you told me, it has suffered to some heavy shelling russian air strikes, schools, hospitals, and homes being leveled in the attacks. premium president vladimir zalinski claims russian forces are prepared to show the city of odessa. lexi port is home to 1000000 people, and it's

a major tourism and trade hub. more than $200.00 children have moved from an orphanage and se ukraine after russian troops attacked a nearby nuclear power station. they were in the town of zap alicia, than some of the children are said to be terrified by constant air raid sirens. the orphanage director is travelling by train with them to bring them safely to neighboring poland. what, you know, what a shipping, if you put in a saying that he's doing something here, but he is simply killing people, simply killing people. but 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 you creed. we love it, it is so hard. but unfortunately, we must cleave. we really want to come back our correspondence zoom. bizarre is following the situation at a border crossing between ukraine and poland. you spoke to philippa grandy, 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 also hear 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 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 continued to rain on cities, people will leave the yesterday or the day before i can't even remember in moldova . many people told me that they were leaving or desolate all this is 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 a lot of talk about humanitarian corridors that's very important. we are in my organization like others are in ukraine, will participate in any such operation to bring any relief to anybody who's trapped in the cities. but we need more than that. we need is his,

we need is the seasonal facilities. your secretary is to gottlieb lincoln's place to support to the people of moldova, as it faces a surge or people fleeing ukraine. as president says, the country needs help from the international community to cater to the refugees. $250000.00 ukrainian refugees have already streamed into mold over which is putting a strain on the countries social services. so to highlight reports, a show of solidarity is moldova calls for international support. you are secretary of states is visiting one of your ex, porous, and smallest countries that share the border with ukraine. in the 30 years since mold over the united states began to provide relations. we've never faced the moment as urgent and as challenging as the one that we face today. russia's unprovoked unwarranted war on ukraine has kicked off a humanitarian crisis that is already having a vast effect across the region,

including here the republic mold over moldova, didn't choose to be involved, but these are the implications of a war on its doorstep. nearly a quarter of a 1000000 people have crossed its quarter from ukraine in just 10 days. the 2nd largest number of refugees after poland, moldova warns it's fast running out of options to keep up with the influx, which is expected to rise in the coming days. blood with only 3 joint and consistent efforts from all the partners we can help out ukraine. first of all, we need rapid assistance and involvement of the international community to stop the battle and restore the peace city. the international monetary fund is considering, moldova is request to make changes to its existing i meth supported programs to help the refugees bought. mold overs concerns, don't stop there. it faces a security threat on its eastern border, russian back separatists control the region of trends. ne steer the dispute territory has its own government currency and around 6000 paratroopers,

since it for 2 bits of civil war with moldova in 1990. 2 sponsored isn't recognized internationally and russia has repeatedly ignored cause to remove around 1500 of its troops who been station there ever since. the area also has, was his thought to be one of the biggest ammunition depots in eastern europe. that is a fundamental disagreement with been moved over and, and trust me then leadership. and this is the path, the development path that they want to show more over all the declared that it's wanted to integrate economically with europe. and that's why we're seeking membership for the tea and union and trans was seeking alignments with ration alignments made clear on thursday when all day we're in, georgia followed ukraine footsteps and applied to joined the european union process

in the making for years with false tracks in just a matter of days thought a height at algebra. and lincoln's also saying the u. s. may send plains to poland to backfill warsaw as numbers. if the polish government sends some of its own planes to help you crane we are. we're looking actively now, at the question of airplanes, the poland may provide a to, to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill should on decide to produce those to supply those plants can't speak to a timeline, but i can just say we're looking at it, very, very actively ross has won countries against hosting ukrainian military aircraft. the defense military says they've been regarded as being involved in the conflicts . earlier president vladimir putin says the invasion will only be halted if you crean stops what he calls it's hostilities. he's blamed the key government for the fighting. frank lead, which is a senior lecturer in military capabilities and strategy at the university of

portsmouth is also a former military officer who's served in the balkans in iraq and afghanistan. he says the russian campaign and ukraine appears to be lacking in preparation and planning. 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, their regular forces look the way they present themselves. they present themselves very much like nato forces, british american, french, or german troops, professional, well equipped, and so forth. what's really shocking is the way the russian forces have. essentially, i use this word hesitatingly collapse over the last 10 days or so much warranted. combat arms operations force learned so much from the complex or the last few years . it's probably to be a bit of a paper tiger moment, but nonetheless, that paper tigers,

in coding something that's really deadly for the people of you. it's a failure of planning, of preparation, logistics. it's very clear that those troops from see this from capture p o w accounts. we see this from fairly objective of course, which is ready for what's going to happen. they will not read properly prepared, their logistics, which is the, which is the most important element of military operations. professionals taught logistics, images, tactics. the russians have failed and now they're just. and they failed largely, i think because they overestimated their own capabilities and underestimated the ukrainians, particularly with respect to their own capabilities. they fail to deal with the trivia with what you are. i'm any people might, regardless trivia, fueling food 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 lack of preparation and

a real lack of planning. and that's the most difficult part of the military operations, getting things right early, getting things right. well, in time your operations, it's very clear the russians have i want to bring you some lines that are just coming out of ukraine at the moment in creating the sort is reportedly are having trouble reaching stuff, both the sure noble example, the nuclear power plants, the head of the us nuclear energy bodies, grossey says he's extremely concerned. russian forces at the apparition site, a set of taking control plants, management, and they've turned off mobile networks and the internet french prisoners. emanuel macro is one of several world leaders stepping up efforts to mediate a peace deal in ukraine who spoke with letting me put in for nearly 2 hours on the phone today. so he's president, ship tell you about it. one has also spoken, the russian leader. meanwhile, israel's prime minister natalie bennett, says he will continue to try to mediate between russia and ukraine,

even if the chances of the solution are low. then it made a surprise visit to moscow on saturday for face to face talks with president putin to put under the do mama. as we all know, the situation on the ground is not good. there's great human suffering and it's likely to get even version things continue in its current path. there are also israelis who need to return home in jewish communities, in distress needs help or who continue to assist whenever this is requested or follow even if the chances are not great. and i'm sure the moment there is even a small opening and we have access to all sides and the capability that i see it is a moral duty to make every attempt for them that they hold. visa, mastercard, say they're suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any credit card issued in the country can no longer be used and cause issues elsewhere, work in russia, and related companies to whole business in russia, since it's invasion of ukraine. allison mills, a professor of financial economy,

had left for the university and he says he cannot make sanctions against russia will not stop the war. it actually shows that private companies, banks, in this case, the card association of they're actually taking their own action. they're not waiting for governments to say you can do this, you can't do that. they're just drawing back from russia completely. so i think this is one of many examples of the private sector sanctioning russia a visa, mastercard that primarily used for personal spending. so you know it shops and restaurants and travel, that kind of thing. so it's, it's going to further impact on the hospitality in the restaurant industry and travel industries in russia. and it's gonna have a big effect on the middle classes who used as services were employed by the services. but i don't see a very direct effect on the military machine. the military machine and in russia is not very externally dependent. doesn't need external financing in the long run. it needs technology from the west,

but they've been planning this invasion of 10 years. they've got, they've become food secure, they grow more grain and they need, they eat, they can keep this will going for, for months. if not, yeah, as without, without sanctions directly affecting it. ah, this is all of these are the top stories. evacuation plans are cancelled and the disease training and city of money of poll escape corporate office. civilians has been abandoned for a 2nd time. out of both sides accused each other of violating a temporary cease fire. several ukrainian cities continue to come under fire in the western city of storm. it has suffered heavy shelling from russian air strikes. schools, hospitals and homes have been leveled in the attacks. it claims president of me as
