5:17 pm
a group of indian students who arrived in holl keep only 3 weeks ago to start medical school. it was around 16 days, we were like, we thought that there will be no war and they were there just argue and all. but suddenly this happened and viva of you all went to the bunker and we had to, you know, we had a really hard time. there were no facility to which we, oh, we could skip from there. so we decided to go buy food. we traveled, i guess 20 kilometers by foot, and finally raised $40.00 and then we managed to move from there with the bus a little further down the line. yeah, my husband is trying to cheer up. these are the last moments they would be together as a family, until who knows when she is afraid for me says, but i think she would be bored without me. she will have nobody to neg, they have travelled for 3 days from zeppelin just in the east where the russian
5:18 pm
army is advancing. yep. os, most of the guys at the law. i woke up at 5 am because i heard a huge, loud bang. i thought something fell down from the shelf from the room next door, but the airport was being bombed. slona made the same journey, leaving behind her husband, sister nieces and nephews. she's begging them to move funds before they get caught up into fighting. she's upset that your life has been up ended, it was a good, simple one. and she had plans for the future. and she rejects russian president vladimir putin claims that civilians are not being targeted yet that the you probably, let's do this. this is not true. it's full scale, we're being annihilated. people are dying, children, elderly, everybody, we have to run by foot as soon as there was an opportunity. it's not true, they're killing us. many of the people here are russian speakers,
5:19 pm
those booting claim this war is aiming to protect. they became victims of a conflict that started in their name. but of that, i mean, others year alone to ukraine, romania border, the european union and the us or considering whether it's a bad oral imports from russia. but moscow's warns crude oil prices could climb to more than $300.00 a barrel. if they go ahead with the sanctions, your ministers have been discussing ways to free member states of their dependence on russian energy. europe depends on moscow for about 40 percent. if it's gas, i'm going to cain is joining us from berlin. so dominic, there's a lot at stake here for europe. a great deal at stake for europe because the european dependence on russian oil and natural gas exports is much higher than it is for other potential sanction countries as it were . so for example, you know, the united states is saying that it intends to go ahead with an embargo. the german
5:20 pm
government is a great deal more reticent about that. the vice chancellor, robert havoc, who also has the economy ministry as in his portfolio, as just in the course of the last few minutes. been as a news conference outlining the sorts of measures that his government would like to bring in as quickly as possible. and he was asked directly, is the german government intending to follow suit to do the same sort of thing as the u. s. government? and his argument is that for the american government, for the u. s. government, that is, it is much easier to introduce an embargo because the u. s. is a net oil exporter, but from the german perspective, and indeed, to a certain extent, we can extrapolate from germany to the whole of the e, u, a net importer. and so, whilst the german government is prepared to think about and to talk about the possibility of an embargo, there has to be a guarantee of an alternative form of energy source of energy that could make up
5:21 pm
what would be a very substantial short fall in the short term, as it were, in the immediate aftermath of some sort of embargo that, that have to be a guarantee. now we know, incidentally, we know that the e u commission is going through this source of rationalization as it were right now, trying to work out what sort of alternatives could be implemented to allow them to wind themselves off as quickly as possible from a reliance on russian natural gas and oil, and were expecting to hear from the e u commission in the course of the next hour or so about what exactly they intend to do. they have said franz demands. the commissioner, the relevant commissioner, is that he wants to reduce the dependence on rational natural russian natural gas by 2 thirds in the course of this calendar year. that means getting rid of a 100000000000 cubic meters of gas from russia and finding it elsewhere. and we'll find out what he's really thinking about in the call for the next hour. all right, thank you so much. dominic came reporting from berlin. the cranium president of the
5:22 pm
resilience is to address british appease in the coming hours. it sounds as prime minister boars, johnson continues his diplomatic effort to encourage western leaders to punish russia for the invasion. he hosted leaders of the czech republic, hungary, poland on slovakia to discuss the conflict. let's take a look at some other news. a south korean naval ship has fired warning shots at a north korean patrol boat that briefly crossed the country's disputed western sea boundary. the north korean boat was chasing an unarmed vessel. the retreated after warning shots were fired. south korean military officials seized the vessel and the questions if questioned its 7 crew members. rob mcbride has more from sol. this incident apparently took place near bank young island. this is the western most island of south career. it's out in the yellow sea that separates the korean peninsula from china, and it's right on the de facto maritime border between north and south. it is an
5:23 pm
area that has seen clashes and incidents before between north and south, according to the south korean military. this all happened tuesday morning. local time when they detected a north korean vessel had strayed into south korea waters, they say that it was apparently being given a tow to being young island. when a 2nd north korean vessel appeared and also crossed over into the south, possibly giving chase. it was at that point that the south koreans fired warning shots and the 2nd north korean patrol vessel disappeared back north and investigation is now underway into who was on board. this f 1st north korean vessel . according to media reports here in south korea, there was 7 people on board, 6 of them wearing military uniform. now the question is whether this was some sort of mass defection by military personnel from the old it doesn't happen very often, but military personnel have been known to defect to the south all weather as some
5:24 pm
other media here. and now reporting that the people on board the vessel of told authorities that it was some sort of mistake, possibly a navigational error and that they somehow ended up in south korean waters. women who suffered rafe and torture at the hands of ice, sol, or struggling to rebuild their lives in iraq. nearly 5 years after the our group was defeated on tuesday, not international women's day. we take a closer look at how a lack of laws to protect them as pushing some women over the edge. just a warning. some of you may find some, a bon jovi report from kirk, who disturbing behind the facade of routine kitchen work. i could do stories of race, torture, and abandonment. for years these women were abused by ice fighters, and now their lives are uncertain. a lot of what the, what they're, we're basing us and re paying off my children, lived with that memory. and now suffer from injuries from the spawn to the neck.

5:27 pm
a way that that keeps the dignity on the respect or compensates those who, where the victims da da 0 spoke to men whose wives and mothers were stoned to death, but they say because their muslims, there is no one to listen to their plight. they do not want to appear on camera because of the stigma and fear the community will shun them 2 years after they escaped on housing breaks down whenever her daughter begins to speak on her case. so via my mother told them do whatever you want to do to me, but leave my daughter alone do not marry her to one of you than they raped my mother before my eyes and leisure they raped me in front of my mother. there's no future, nothing is left still, they have not given up hope for justice. they call themselves invisible victims living in plain sight, but no one to call their own. and as they rate their families, tribes and most of the international community continues to ignore them. the sum of

their own future. women's rights are not for negotiations. not for debate. not quite discussion are demand constitutional arguments, a basic and fundamental right now. some of their demands of gauge paper edge i left discrimination in the workspace is they? of course, i've also come out of a pandemic and which domestic violence has become an issue. the government of august on has now set up a special unit in order to take the complaint of knowing women who are being abused at home. our who are being discriminated against because of the gender. gender protection unit is basically a 247 facility in which we had established a cell in which we had on the police officers or women who faces harassment or any kind of williams can access this facility 247. this is one of its kind facility,
