recent days. the russian army and russian back separatists fighters have reportedly surrounded the city. where the dead bodies lie in the streets without. right, we don't have electricity, we don't have anything to eat. we don't have medicine, we got nothing wrong and one of them in here, everything is mind. the route south of town being shelled, says the policeman. at the moment, negotiations about leaving which security have failed. trust me. i have family at home and i am also worried about them. i says order. unfortunately, the best security for us all is to be inside the city on the ground, one had in shelters approximately 200 kilometers north. in the town of all a cave, the buses meant to rescue the people of marable and stopped. russian army positions are only 10 kilometers from here. drivers,

some with family and mariel told us they'd heard reports of fighting on the root is lindsay of, of the has been no connection was to city for days. i haven't been able to get in touch with my wife and sister for 5 days. we've tried to get to mary up or twice already. this is our 3rd attempt to we don't know if it will happen. after a more than 2 hour wait, the convoy coordinator ordered the drivers to get on the buses and leave. so the buses are now turning round this after, according to the coordinator of the convoy, there are reports of heavy fighting on the initially plan route to murray. awful. a group of drivers struggle to start one of the vehicles. one told us he didn't want to die. that's what we can't get this way because he's been shelling, they won't let us go through. all right, yes. even the checkpoint light, let us go further because of the shelling we don't away. we're going now the convoy

headed out of order keep moving north east and other attempted evacuating. thousands of traps and terrified people in murray or pal, had failed. charles strafford al jazeera or a cave easton ukraine, or one of ukraine's representatives to united nations has made an emotional appeal to the security council asking me national community to stop russia from killing ukrainians civilians. mostly women and children have been effectively taken hostage . they are not allowed to leave and be humanitarian aid is not let in. if they tried to leave rations open, fire and kills them. they are running out of food out of food and water and they died. one way for people to escape the fighting is to travel east through merrier pole into turkey, controlled by russian back separatists. not many have dared to make the journey. as bernard smith reports from the nevada's asked region these ukrainians left mary

awful with just the few belongings they could pack in a hurry, which wasn't much. what was weighing these people down was the memories of what they've seen and what they've left behind. they've left a city of half a 1000000 people surrounded by forces from russia and on yet. so people who are now their hosts. nick describes living under shelling for 10 days as he made his way out of the city with his wife, child, and mother in law. but them virtually in the world. we got into our car under constant sharon valley. there was no corridor. we had not help. we just drove, we went from one village to another, spent 4 days in the cellar, then 5 days in the shed, with no water, no guests, no electricity, no internet. the journey from mary awful east to this village would have taken just 45 minutes in peacetime. bertha was a while ago. we survived his best because we were on the now that we are safe. go

into work out what we are going to do next month. so few people seem to have made it out of money up all because according to the don't yet separatists, the adult battalion, the whole, the city is not letting civilians leave as of as a far right power, military, neo nazi group now integrated into ukraine's national guard the group in return accuses the russians. violating the humanitarian cease fires. considering the size of mario paul, just really a handful of people have made it here an indication that despite the promise of a secure humanitarian corridor, many people are still too scared to leave. bernard smith, al jazeera novel as aust regions for the u. s. government says poland offer to transfer several fighter jets to a usa so they can be used by ukraine is not tenable. the offer made by poland proposes make $29.00 jets to be deployed to the rams. the net based in germany free

of charge. washington says move raises serious concerns for the entire nature alliance and needs consultation. the crating officials have pleaded with less than government to provide for planes to fight against the russian invasion unless it's my card i was in washington d. c. like it was a little bit more about with the rationale behind the decision on this well, there were hours of confusion here in washington among members of the fight and administration when poland made that announcement that it was going to send its fight a cop to a u. s. face and ram steen and the u. s. was then going to move them into the ukranian theatre of combat. well, that was poland, expressing its willingness to do so. the administration members, making very clear that they had not discussed this matter with poland. and it took early evening when the spokesman for the pentagon, brian kirby issued a written statement denying that this was going to happen saying in fact, it was

a move that was completely untenable. not to put this into a context in recent days, the secretary of state tend to need blinkin, made several references to discussions with poland about backfiling polish croft with us air crop. should poland move a croft into ukraine, but that's where the conversation was centered on. there was no discussion and would appear about this type of deal that poland expressed a willingness to indulge in, to move its claims to a us air force base. and us then moves those planes into ukraine war areas. so certainly it was a confusing few hours, but very clearly now the us administration has made absolutely adamantly clear that this is simply not tenable. it's not a deal that would be on the table. and where are we with these a patriot missiles the united states is talking about, well or there's be no confirmation about these. now we know that president zalinski has been pleading to the nato allies for enhanced air

defense systems. are we do know as well that there's been discussions with the us about providing such systems. now what we also know is that as some 8000 us troops have been deployed at to take up station on nato's eastern flank, to support the nato forces, arrayed along that particular flank. there's been a lot of logistical supplies going as well, of course, to support that amount of men. so it's not out of the question for air defense systems to be part of that particular package. although as i say, there's been no confirmation from the pentagon, that such a system is included in the munitions and the equipment that the u. s. has been sending to the ukrainian border. i get mike, thanks. that's mike. another in washington. well, with russian forces advancing on the capital of kiva, ukrainian soldiers helping with efforts to evacuate towns round the city as natasha

. butler reports from levine in western ukraine and his little comfort in war. but some people are doing all they can for 3rd day ukrainian forces evacuate people from air pin on the outskirts of ukraine's capital keith. it's a precarious journey. russian shelling is never very far away. european. yep. st. louis to king of st. opinions been constantly shall your planes, bombing russian soldiers projects at home. there's no electricity light, no heating, and the temperature is going down. we had to go to the chill. it made that if we hadn't, i hadn't, and russia so much and hope the war will be over. so what are the can she to people are also fleeing sumi, east of keys off to russia. and ukraine agreed on a temporary cease fire in the area. days of russian shelling have flattened parts of the city. this is what is left after an overnight attack. killed more than 20

people, including children in their homes. moscow's offered once again to evacuate people from a number of other cities, but only if they go to russia or belarus for ukraine's president. it is a proposition steeped in cynicism, but they ensure that a small corridor to the occupied territory is open for a few dozen people who not so much to russia, but to the propagandist directly to the television cameras. so they can say this is will saves people. just cynicism just propaganda. nothing more. rushes military says this video shows is tanks. ne keith. when the city people are scared, daily life has moved underground. intense times, the vulnerable, often suffered almost every day. more children arrive at this orphanage from different parts of ukraine. svetlana tells me the invasion, adds another painful layer to already difficult childhood. i'm gonna pick

a special the 1st scripted arrived her is from last a chance. there were many very young kids among them or they were traumatized. anxious when the siren sounded. they would got really scars. list of wars in the children have been brought here to escape the russian shelling and the fighting. but some of them were ready. victims of war these children are from eastern ukraine where a war against russian back separatist started 80 years ago. young lives that have never known a world without conflict. nastier is from keep a typical teenager living in on typical times. my address is thrown, my sister and i couldn't sleep at night, relieved in an apartment as i was born, been all the time. so we took into the gray, trained to hear my boy. oh, so dirty seems to be everywhere. ukraine, as does defiance. protest is in the southern city of chaplain can tell russian soldiers to go away. oh,

really, people want the conflict to end. they want the killing to stop. families are being shattered futures last ukrainians. wonder how many soldiers will sacrifice their lives for her? no one here wanted natasha butler, al jazeera live if ukraine or the world health organization says attacks on health care facilities in ukraine, a depleting medical supplies, hospitals are running low on oxygen, insulin, pp, and blood. at least that 9 health care workers have been killed since the war started. each should not need saying that havoc us hospitals and older medical facilities must never be 8 target at any time, including during crisis and conflicts. to date, we have 16 confirmed reports of attacks on health in a crane and more are being verified. doug rachel strongly condemned these attacks

on health care services. so head hearing out 0, mcdonalds arrived in moscow 3 months after the fall of the berlin wall. now the golden arches, a closing for russians and political buys in the political ukrainians, q, the remaining ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle ways may not be forgiven for thinking that the northern china, the current balance of a lesser japan's going straight from which to summer temperature was so the sun is predominant as a form of weather. very few shout left of rain in hon. shoot. none of snow attempted only slowly rising twin took his at 12. but suppose any 5, la grey stone ran still in her corridor. but let's come back to china from the

yangtze north, which is really warm. there is a bit of cloud and inducing want to showers along the valley itself. but if you're in will and you should be expecting 14, not 24, like was in beijing 10, not 20. and this extends right up to mongolia. this is a huge area. very warm weather at the moment. we're so in the wet season throughout malaysia and indonesia, it's the last month of it. so it means you get fresh for the anyway. and java's favorite, i think on thursday, want to areas might join in but nothing to persistent. these are moving showers and others rain coming up into the small items in the bay of bangor. there's nothing much now on the mainland. there are a few developing. you'll notice on the upstream are astra. beyond because the temperatures are rising here too. they're a bit above where you might expect them to be knowles in plain though, stays fine. warm occasionally windy, but was still with poor air. quality of the weather, sponsored by cats are always oh,

empty boss is trying to reach the city was seen turning around falling reports. russians selling shelly, i should say, along with the humanitarian corridor, poland says it's ready to deploy, or it's make 29 fight objects to the ram seen at basin, germany at the disposal of the united states. but the move has been described, was untenable by washington. fighting north of cave is intensifying as russian forces pushed towards the city. ukrainian soldiers to help evacuation efforts around the capitol, military expert say that russia could attack the city within days. well, it's an out from step wanston who traveled to the capital and she reports huge traffic jams is growing numbers of residents fleet while traveling to key a few see this whole continuous stream of refugees leaving the capital going the opposite direction. there is a non stop row of cars, a huge traffic jam, basically from the whole of the west of ukraine to the capital right now,

people trying to flee the violence, the bombing to continuous shelling here in the capital also around the capital. but the people are not going very far and not very fast because they're really simply stuck. the infrastructure doesn't let them flee quickly enough. so people are really spending denied in cars next to fuel stations. the fuel stations have enormous long queues as well because people are viewing for fuel. that is very hard to get. there's not enough fuel in these battle station. so data quite some chaos. a lot of those checkpoint, sir, people are very nervous. the security services are very nervous that there might be advance forces that it might be what they call sub to us russians who are already here, who might commit attacks. and when you get to the capital, the 1st thing that you notice is this eerie silence. people have left, it's a city of normally $4000000.00 people, but it's equally quiet. the only thing we hear here is church bells ringing. well,

yes, president joe biden has announced the ban on russian oil and gas imports. the move follows pleased by ukrainian president floated zalinski to cut off moscow's energy export. our white house correspondent can be hook, it has this. it's a major escalation of u. s. economic sanctions against russia for its invasion of ukraine. on tuesday, u. s. president joe biden went after president vladimir putin's most lucrative industry. we're banning all in ports of russian oil and gas in energy and means russian oil will no longer be acceptable. u. s. port to the american people will deal another powerful blow to put in for machines. the decision by president biden to bad russian energy imports into the united states, follows pressure by the us congress, and pleased by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski biden acknowledged. the latest

sanctions could cause a spike in us gas praises consumers are already paying on average more than $4.00 a gallon up from $2.77 just a year ago, due to high inflation. as the economy recovers from, the coven pandemic says: prune began is military build up ukrainian borders just since then. the price of the gas, the pump, an american up to $0.75. and with this action is going to go up further. the white house is directing the release of some of the us strategic petroleum reserves to contain prices and compensate for last supply. but the white house maintains high gas prices might also encourage you as consumers to switch to green energy and electric vehicles. but this analyst says the united states is nowhere near ready. the biggest user of oil in any country is transportation and transportation depends

on having things like electric vehicles and hybrids vehicles. those vehicles represent a roughly small part of the fleet. the fleet turns over slowly. so what's the green co worker by years? that's why these latest u. s. economic sanctions against russia may be symbolic, designed to hurt putin financially. but mostly politically, president biden is sending his vice president carmella harris to poland and romania this week to reinforce support for ukraine, but also to reassure nervous allies. fearful that russia could turn its aggression on them. next. kimberly held it al jazeera, the white house or the u. k is planning to phase out russian oil imports by the end of the year, while the e. u says it will reduce its dependents by 2 thirds. the announcements has seen oil prices surge even higher with some, unless predicted could push europe towards recession. charlie angela reports now

from london, already struggling with rising living costs. ordinary europeans now face another blow to their finances. with the conflict and ukraine, pushing fuel and food prices even higher as a plan to phase out oil imports from russia takes shape the economic cost of the war is hitting home. good to record america, victory, absurd. 15 days ago, nobody could think about it. the problem is not the price, it will be to morrow, but how much it will cost in $50.00 days. i think there's times are coming, but we will have to deal with it. here in london, people are seeing a ripple effect of the russian invasion of the petrol pump. prices have been rising steadily since january that have now reached a new record high in this could have enough on effect the cost of transported goods . and the cost of living. russia is the world's 2nd largest exporter of oil. the you imports 27 percent of it all from russia. the u. k. little less than 10 percent

. and the u. s. just 8 percent, which is why europe will feel the effect of the bad far more acutely than the u. s . the e. u also plans to cut its dependency on russian gas by 2 thirds this year. that's 26 percent of its supply. this will end our over dependency and give us much needed room to maneuver 2 thirds by the end of this year. todd. bloody odd, but it's possible if we're willing to go further and faster than we've done before, but ex, but say this decision will mean difficult compromises hitting that target be very challenging. if they do do that, are they going to be aware of the consequences? they'll have to be additional use of nuclear, which is supposed be phased out in certain countries. the lab be more coal use, which won't help climate goals. that there was even a point and said, turn your thermostat down one degree and that has a major impact on potential gas use. the payoff of this eventual band that european

consumers will no longer be inadvertently funding the warn you, craig is e oil purchases alone put $285000000.00 a day in russian pockets. and the move towards kena green energy will be accelerated. but the timing means the risk of inflation and recession looms larger than ever. charlie on to al jazeera london, or russia's central bank has tightened foreign. see different currency restrictions are capping withdrawals at to $10000.00. people will receive roubles above that amount. banks have been told to stop selling hot currency people queued in the early hours in moscow with locals reporting all atm. we're busy. mcdonalds is one of several big u. s. companies to pull out of russia becomes made huge pressure for western firms to several times because of the invasion of ukraine. gabriel is on their reports now from new york. ah,

mcdonald sold it 1st big back in what was then the soviet union at 32 years ago, who have significant enough all my goals since the, in the iconic american fast food chain has opened around 350 stores in russia. but on tuesday, the company announced it would temporarily close. it's russian operations. and it was followed just hours later by other us giants, starbucks, coca cola and pepsi all in re, wants to vladimir putin decision to invade ukraine limbs, a caraway. it's a domino effect that has already seen a raft of companies like young brands, which owns the fast food stores, kfc, taco bell, and pizza hut. and apple makes similar moves in russia. on tuesday, the firms actions got the backing of you as president joe biden, over the weekend visa, mastercard, american express, they all suspended their services and rush, all journey to growing list of american global companies. companies are having to

play a balancing act on one side. there's an economic calculus of doing business in russia . on the other side, there's consumers that are increasingly demanding that companies take a stand against the war. sometimes like in this case, the pressure becomes overwhelming. a research team at yale university has been keeping track of the hundreds of western companies that have pulled out of russia since the invasion and also highlights those that remain. the man behind the list explained its importance. those that don't like the category there in it. um, it helps foot the c e o 's show that to their boards. look how we're being classified and this is not good for the reputation of the company. most analysts say american brands leaving russia won't have a major impact on putin's calculations regarding the war and ukraine. but it's a statement they hope will resonate. gabriel's hondo i'll just eat a new york more than 290000 ukrainians have fled to remain here since the start of

the invasion. now the government to be caressed has approved legislation allowing ukrainian children to enroll in local schools. auto hammered, spoke to refugees along the romanian, ukrainian border in the bitter cold waiting. an acute can feed longer than it already is. there is a story of people fling award. they didn't expect mothers taking their children across the border. family is being torn apart as men between the age of 18 to 60. i'm not allowed to leave ukraine under martial law. and marina at diversity was traveling alone with her 12 year old son. stayed in cave for as long as she could, didn't have thought of another point a little and we stayed because we thought the wood and the 20 moment it was relatively quiet in our way we heard the bombing, but we didn't think it would get to us until the very last moment, we realized we had to escape when we had miss asked why never our head. despite the warnings, few believed award breakout until it actually happened. detail about how they were

caught off guard not expecting to become refugees. and in the mid a group of indian students who arrived in higher keep only 3 weeks ago to start medical school. it was around 16 days. we were like, we darned that no, well, we know war and they were there are 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 oh, we could skip from there. so we decided to go buy food. we traveled. i guess 20 kilometers by foot and finally raised boiled ally and then we managed to move from there were the bus a little further down the line. yes has, has been, is trying to cheer up. these are the last moments they will be together as a family, until who knows when she's 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, some zeppelin jaw in the east where the russian 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 her. rou. slona made the same journey, leaving behind her husband, sister nieces and nephews. she's begging them to move fast before they get caught up and a 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 prudence claims that civilians are not being targeted yet that the due process, the let's do 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 russians. speakers, those booting claim. this war is aiming to protect. they became victims of a conflict that started in their name. what does that mean? edges era alone the ukraine romania border? ah, are let's have a quick update. the headlines hernandez, era, and 1st the civilian evacuation of the besieged port city of morrow. pole has been cancelled for 3rd time empty buses trying to reach the city were seen turning around following reports of russians shelling along the humanitarian corridor. a fighting north of cave is intensifying as russian forces pushed towards the city. ukrainian soldiers are helping evacuation efforts around the capitol, military expert say russia could attack keith within day.
