are only 10 kilometers from here, drivers, some which family and mary also told us they heard reports of fighting on the route is lumps because there has been no connection with the city for days. and i haven't been able to get in touch with my wife and sister for 5 days, and we've tried to get to murray up or twice already. this is after team to me. don't know if it will happen. after more than wait, conway coordinator ordered the drivers to get on the passes 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 planned route to murray. awful . a group of drivers struggle to start one of the vehicles. one told us he didn't want to die much more. we don't get this way because he's been shelling, they won't let us go through. all right,

yes. the the checkpoint light. let us go further because of the shelling we don't know where we're going now. the convoy headed down to go to keep moving north east . another attempted evacuating thousands of traps and terrified people in murray or pulled. had failed. charles driver al jazeera or a give you stood ukraine wallet. when are looking at 2000000 people saying ukraine, since russia's invasion began almost 2 weeks ago. one way to escape is to travel east through mario ball, but that goes into territory controlled by russian back separatists and not many of debt. to make that johnny bernard smith reports from the nova asked region these ukrainians left mary awful with just a few belongings they could pack in a hurry, which wasn't much. what was weighing these people down with 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,

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. had them virtually knowledge. we got into our car under constant shalon valley. there was no corridor. we had no help. we just drove, we went from one village to another, spent 4 days in a cellar, less than 5 days in a shed with no water, no guest, no electricity, no internet. that journey from mary up all east to this village would have taken just 45 minutes in peace time. my brother was a while ago. mister wife, as best we could, we will only now that we are safe, i will go in to walk out what we are going to do next. so few people seem to have made it out of mary up all because according to the don, yet separatists, the as of battalion that holds the city, is not letting civilians leave. as of as a far right paramilitary, neo nazi group, now integrated into ukraine's national guard. the group in return accuses the russians

a violating the humanitarian c. spies. the considering the size of mary off all 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 nova, as oscar region, half a world away from all of this, one of ukraine's representatives to the united nations has made an emotional appeal to the security council. simply asking the international community to stop russia from killing ukrainians, civilians, mostly women and children have been effectively taken hostage. they are not allowed to leave and the 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 die. meanwhile,

the u. s. government has poland offer to transfer several fighter jets to us their base so they can be used by ukraine is not tenable. and often made by poland proposes the soviet era big $29.00 jets be deployed to ramstein air base and germany free of charge. the u. s. as the move raises serious concerns for the entire nater alliance and needs consultation, ukrainian officials have been pleading with western governments to provide them more planes to fight against the invasion. more on this with mike hannah, he's in washington. there were hours of confusion here in washington among members of the bite and administration when poland made that announcement that it was going to send its fight a cop to a u. s. space in 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 me into early

evening when the spokesman for the pentagon, brian, kirby issued a written statement at denying that this was going to happen saying in fact, it was a move that was completely untenable. now to put this into a context in recent days, the secretary of state antony blinking, made several references to discussions with poland about back filling polish croft with us crop. should poland move the cross into ukraine, but that's where the conversation was centered on. there was no discussion that would appear about this type of deal that poland expressed a willingness to indulge in, to move its flames to a u. s. 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 a tenable, it's not a deal that would be on the table. while many people are, of course, trying to leave ukraine, some foreign fighters at the polish border are actually heading back in. that's

after the government and keep established an international lesion for those coming from abroad zane bus robbie has been speaking to some of them as people continue to flee the war in ukraine. some rush to get to its front lines, bravery, or bravado mormon, like this one are coming to ukraine's aid every day. inspired perhaps by a social media campaign. i'm in solomon right now, or a call to arms for volunteers by ukrainian leaders under siege in their own capital . from her home near cave, last year bustling. co says there is something to do for everyone coming to ukraine's defense. you are fighting the 2nd biggest on the and the world and the nuclear power that to force on military resources are not enough. so we need more people here on the ground. we need more weapons here on the ground. we need more

sophisticated weapons here on the ground to be able to span and keep standing as an independent free country. this is the struggle and the slide that we invite the, the worlds to join them. volunteers who contact ukrainian embassies are directed to the website for the international legion of the defense of ukraine. this is one of the locations recruits can find themselves signing up and boarding buses to cross the border. we met a ukrainian coordinator who declined to speak on camera or give his full name or even his rank. but he said he was there to help volunteers find their way to the fight. this roadside motel near the border has become a kind of unofficial recruitment point for volunteers wanting to fight in ukraine. we've been here a few hours and we've met people from europe, the united states, great britain, many more have already crossed over many more are expected to. julian is 22 and says he served in the dutch military and was deployed to have gone this time. i'm not looking for violence per se,

it's more that i'm looking for to give the people that i hope that they see, they're not alone in this fight. he's still undecided unwilling to sign a contract to serve until the end of the war. whenever that might be, the open ended contract has also put our volunteers at the medical border crossing . if they say all you, you can estallion 5 by a 3 month. you can go home to see your families and come back into one joe. or even one year, but we know in one year we going what we got home but and it's going truck. does no dag does no. when we could go home, you know, so yeah, that was the point for me to change. mind others remain undeterred. jay is from portugal lives in london and says his motivation comes from his young daughters that he is fighting to defend their future, their freedoms, the lack of action by the west. i just personally don't think sanctions are enough

and i understand the fear of world war 3. but as you can see, this is the beginning of world war 3. personally, i don't think i'm being brave. i'm just doing what i'd like people to do. if the u . k was under attack, and johnson was begging for help. highly experience soldiers are sent to the front line. less experienced recruits are kept back to help territory defense units and treat the wounded. j says he trusts ukraine will let him go home if he has family. and is unafraid, as he commits himself to a war that could go on for years. zane basra, the old, 0 at the ukraine border in eastern poland. the fighting north of key though is intensifying as russian forces pushed towards the city. that parsons travelled there for us. he reports huge traffic jams has growing numbers of residents trying to get out well traveling to key a few. see this whole continuous so stream of refugees leaving the capital going

the opposite direction. there is a non stop. ugh, row of car, so huge traffic jam, basically from the whole of the west of ukraine to the capital right now. people trying to flee to violence. the bombing, the continuous shelling here in the capital also around to 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 the night in cars next to fuel stations. the fuel stations have enormous long q as, as well, because people are viewing for fuel. that is very hard to get. there is not enough fuel in these battle station so days are quite tom chaos, a lot of check point. so people are very nervous. the security services are very nervous that there might be advance of forces that it might be what they called saba, taurus, russians who already here, who might whoa commit attacks. and when you get to the capitol, the 1st thing that you know it is, is this

e re silence. and people have laughed at the city of normally 4000000 people. but it's equally quiet. the only thing we hear here is church bells ringing. and the news ahead china calls from maximum restraint to me. what it says is a worrying situation in ukraine. plus some of the world news they're picking a new president in south korea was if a new leader can steer the country out of its economic downturn. ah, what has been quite turbulent recently. warming place is in fact on wednesday or nurses temperatures do bond or her a bit above as they should be. there's a wind coming out of that warmth and dry area and that's full of sand dust. and it's been particularly near for egypt,

it will be again during wednesday and in northern saudi arabia and in iraq. but then it contrasts with what's coming from further north, cold air here. so still, wintry and turkey rain shower is running, cross lebanon, northern parts of iraq. the warmth remained, sir, the south, and the storm system moves this direction. nothing else really changes dramatically . anything gets even hotter down in their heart about 35 degrees. the forecast 39 by friday, the average is 25 if you want to comparison little early in the year to get quite so hot. anyway, this is the pictures thing like hot is it is winter coming back and running in with a strong wind. this is on friday, the poor weather from sinai right out through i think level, and eventually the day we'll see a little bit more sunshine country, but it's a roar day with tempt, you know, hard and 6 in amman, jordan, a quick word about madagascar this hears remains of a tropical cycle, which will reform by the end of the week and head towards mozambique.

ah, take take the ships to democracies activists, the corporations control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want him to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil, please for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you consume on al jazeera lou. ah,

the latest developments out of ukraine view at this hour and al jazeera, in fact, in the last half hour air raid sirens have been ringing in the ukrainian capital. there are reports of explosions as well in areas surrounding keys. military experts outside russia could fully attack the city within days. meanwhile, the civilian evacuation of the besieged court city, mario paul has been cancelled for 3rd time empty buses trying to reach the city. their butts were seen turning around falling reports of russian shilling along the humanitarian corridor. and poland says it is ready to deploy all. let's make 29 fighter jets to the ram shania base in germany, putting them at the disposal of the united states. the move, those been described as untenable by washington or with russian forces advancing on keep ukrainian soldiers helping with efforts to evacuate towns around the city. natasha butler has are bought, not from the vive in western ukraine, 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 . yup. st. louis, they're getting upset. opinions been constantly shell. lucille planes bombing russian soldiers off at home, there's no electricity like no heating and the temperature is going down. we have to go to the chill it my, this is we have not been and russia so much. i hope the war will be over soon. one of the can should, so people are all say, fleeing sumi, east of cave, 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 to tack killed more than 20 people, including children in their home must goes off at 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. not so much to russia, but to the propagandist directly to the television cameras. so they can say this is will saves people just finished along just propaganda. nothing more. rushes military says this video shows is tanks. ne keys. 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. different parts of ukraine. svetlana tells me the invasion, adds another painful layer to already difficult childhood on the pickup special. the 1st group that arrived her is from less to chance. there were many yet very young kids. among them they were traumatized. anxious when the siren sounded. they would got really scars. lister was in the children have been brought here to escape

the russian shelling and the fighting. but some of them were already victims of war . these children are from easton 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 last has thrown my sister and i couldn't sleep at night. we lived in an apartment as i was born, been all the time. so we took integration train to here was my boy ha, solidarity seems to be everywhere. ukraine, as does defiance. protest is in the southern city of chaplain could tell russian soldiers to go away. oh, people want the conflict to end. they want the killing to stop. families are being shattered. futures loss ukrainians. wonder how many soldiers who sacrificed their

lives for no one here wanted. natasha butler. are you sarah? ukraine we are in the us president joe violence enough to ban on russian oil and gas and imports and follows please from the ukranian president automated savanski to cut off moscow's energy exports. more from our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins. 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 no longer be accessible us porch to the american people will deal another powerful blow to put information. 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 of ukrainian borders just since then. the price of the gas, the pump, an american up $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, short term between our 2 by years. that's why these latest u. s. economic sanctions against russia may be symbolic, designed to hurt potent financially, but mostly politically, president biden is sending his vice president comalla 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 at russia central bank has also tightened foreign currency restrictions, capping withdrawals. now, at $10000.00, people will receive roubles above that amount. banks have been told her to stop

selling our currency. people were chewing into the early hours in moscow with reports of. well, pretty much all atm busy. the chinese president, she didn't pings issued his strongest comments yet on the russian invasion of ukraine. katrina, you has more on that from begging. what time i would have wanted to see was a quick end to this war and ukraine, but as things escalate, it's clear that beijing is under increasing pressure to express its view as a known friend of russia, as well as to be seen as playing some sort of active role in all of this. so we had president, she didn't paying hold a video conference with the leaders of france and germany. and according to the chinese readout, he expressed his deep concerns about the escalation, escalation of the fighting. he said that the sovereignty of all countries must be respected, but the secret purity concerns of all parties should also be taken into account. and he said that everything must be done to prevent expanded

a humanitarian crisis and criticized western sanctions. a repeating china's lines at these will only effect ordinary people as well as worse and problems in the global economy. he then said that he supported france and germany and creating a balanced security framework for europe, and called again for more dialogue between all parties as well as com. china is walking a very tight and tricky diplomatic type broke. it wants to be seen as taking no slides at all, every time that there are some sort of chinese spokesperson asked about this. it keeps saying, when old on any side, we're only on the side of peace. but what we do know from this call is that china seems to be getting increasingly anxious that it's closeness with russia will affect negatively. it's ties with europe in other western countries and for basing it simply cannot afford to do that. trade with these countries is too important,

so it cannot have any doors close on it from the west as they have to rushes. a bit of other world news for you, voters in south korea are going to the polls to choose their next president as moon j ins term comes to an end. but it is a time where south korea faces a housing crisis, oblique job market, and an increase in missile testing from neighboring north korea. rob mcbride has more from so here in south korea, a lot of the, a people are being driven by a domestic concerns about the state of the economy, the state of the society, especially younger voters. and there are a lot of 1st time younger voters this time around. so it is things like wealth in equality and just the problems in trying to be able to afford your own home here in south korea with the housing market. now this plays against the incumbents that liberal party because they have been in power for 5 years. these problems are still exist or but the liberal candidate lee is pointing to the fact that he is promising stimulus packages. and also the fact that

a lot of this was due to the pandemic and the incumbent liberals have done by all stand many, most standards pretty well when it comes to handling that pandemic. the conservative candidate yoon is pointing to the fact that he is more of a populist, it's time for a change. he is as a former prosecutor, as something of a graft buster against corruption, which is also a big issue here a but more importantly, perhaps he's appealing to the older voters because he's gonna take a lot tougher stand with north career, which he says has been a failing of the liberals that after several years of engagement with the north, there is nothing to show for that. and it is time to get a lot tougher with north korea, which really does strike a chord with some of the older voters. her family and peru, the prime minister, is under pressure to make changes to his cabinet before its even been formerly approved. any politicians under investigation and support as far from guaranteed as marianna sanchez reports from lima. i believe it's the 4th

cabinet in 7 months. the government awaits congressional approval on tuesday, but it won't be easy. some lawmakers say they will not give the new ministers a vote of confidence unless prime minister any well thought is makes changes starting with firing the new health minister and language duty, a doctor accused of corruption and lack of experience that has doctors and nurses demanding his resignation and some of precedent bedrock, a theater ministers and closer circle of advisors are been investigated for corruption big will. we are no e law given the accumulation of allegations for the moral health of the republic. the president should come to congress to answer our questions about all this. why castiel himself has been investigated since january for corruption and illegal influence? the precedent denies any wrong doing? no, no. when they lie in the media saying he's already going to resign, he's corrupt. i'm not going to run away because

a tiny group of people wants to disregard the will of the people who put me in office today. i know that it's hours before tuesday session, his allies had been unable to secure enough votes for the new cabinet. i am afraid that peruvian politics rather than seeking consensus, is dominated by short term calculations linked to immediate interests. o, any say the opposition's most pressing interest now is paving the way for a new ball game. whether congress, a prison cabinet or not critic say the real end game for opposition lawmakers is to oust president. cathy you a motion to unseat the precedent. this in the works. it's the 2nd time political force tried to impeach casteel, but analysts say they still don't have enough boats to begin the process of get a z u. that doesn't mean this is the end. we will surely see discussions on how to eventually push for the president removal from office. a recent opinion,

paul suggests more than 60 percent, disapprove of castillo, and 77 percent disapprove of congress. from crisis to crisis, the spiraling political chaos has left the country with 5 precedence. in 6 years, nearly 30 ministers were placed since last august. disenchanted with produced political class for most peruvians, tuesday's vote may not make much of a difference. i dana sanchez, i'll just see that lee might be 2. 0 and 2nd through the latest developments out of a ukraine in fact, in the last half an hour or so air raid sirens have been heard in the capital cave . a live shot for you here at about 7 30 in the morning. there are pretty much deserted, isn't it? there are also reports of explosions in areas surrounding keep with military experts saying russia could attack within days. the civilian evacuation of the
