through firstly the latest on efforts to evacuate civilians from the hottest hit towns and cities. how's that going? well, we have a bit more information now because there was a lot of conflicting information about the patient of the humanitarian, cory those a bit earlier. what we do know is that ukraine has agreed with russia to evacuate people from at least 5 towns and cities across ukraine, including areas around keys and also the north eastern town, assuming now what we do know is that in terms of sue me, people have been leaving today the, the 5 that seems to be holding between ukrainian and russian troops and people are being boston. this is the 2nd day that people feel april to evacuate the city. there are about 40000000 people in the 55000 of them left on tuesday. many more will leave today. and some of the stories of people who are coming out to just

heartbreaking people, having to leave behind, relative to call, move and move all enough to go. are the people saying that they were effectively running out to food? active water out of medicine, huddled in the basement, was shelling with continuing through the night break terrifying scenes. but of course, those people huge relief that they are now able to leave. they going, we understand to an area in south assuming that they will be moved on elsewhere as they wish. but what so the one of the concerns of ukrainian authority is that they say that in previous days, russia is offered to put the fire in place to allow people to evacuate very fifties . i don't lease humanity inquiry doors, but in fact, fighting is continued ukrainian force, ukrainian official blaming russians are not holding on to those c 5 offering people safe passage, but to russia to belive risk which for ukrainian officials is absolutely unacceptable. they have cool back genocidal. the idea that ukrainian people would

want to flee to russia when washers and they did their country. and matessa understand that there is some concern now being raised around the safety of the to know the nuclear plant, which was taken over by russia. about 2 weeks ago. what more can you tell us about that? yes, sure. annabel, the now defunct nuclear plants. 3rd is near the bell of russian border. they're all, they're all news reports coming out around zack and i just want to read you some of them. that's the ukraine space. if you think the russia is the fact disconnected, you know, both are from the grid, the ukraine present, the globe, move lensky to video. and he's been tweaking about that saying that the lack of power to novel is not going to prevent the cooling of spend nuclear fuel that could

mean a radio active risk. also, ukraine state power agency says lensky says that ongoing fighting in the air is making it absolutely possible to carry out repairs and restore power to noble. we know also that earlier today, nuclear monitors of the i a e, a said that they had lost contact with some of the ukrainian stuff, actionable that some of the saw 3rd ready been working extremely low now around the clock without risk, without proper breaks. and there was a lot of concern for them because in terms of safety and security that told to be no good. now they are saying they've lost contact with some of those stuff. it is a huge concern. you know, 986. nope. was the scene of the world, you know, at that time, well worth nuclear disaster. nobody wants to see a repeat of any rate your active risks. so as i said, some about information just coming out. now we'll clarify more when we get more in the day. okay. thank you for that,

natasha butler for us in the video in the west of the country. we can now go to the capital city. here. we can speak to boston who's, who's there now? a believe you all in a bus shelter a bombshell to talk through the situation where you are. i know i'm actually in a subway station and if you go down from p, f and all the subway station, the whole world life has gone underground basically. so many people are now living here for the last 2 weeks. they brought their children, the whole families on here. they brought their mattresses, they are blankets. they're sleeping here is of course at night very cold. it's winter here. they even have like cinema for children playing children, films. and there's also a clown who is entertaining the children here right now. she just told me she normally works with cancer patients in the children's hospital,

but they all have been effectuated to poland. so now she's a grandmother herself. she came down here every day to entertain the children. because of course, being here for 2 weeks already. they have nothing to do there and fear because they're really worried about what's going to happen next. they think they're safe here from the russian bombs and may files. but of course it's just a very relative safety. and it's also it's free. so you can see this is a subway train. people were sleeping in. that's right. and also for the last couple of days that just been sold to axis. that's right because the train is on the move . they have to evacuate other people. so people have all their stuff out, their blankets, and now they are waiting here, sitting here like this old woman. she was sleeping in the rain for the last couple of days, she exhausted people are really exhausted,

they're stressed out. and they're really in fear. absolutely incredible. what we're seeing, where you are 2 weeks stuck on the ground, like that families with children, and talk us through what we know about the approach of russian troops to ads kids. because we know kids is strategically incredibly important to putin presentations whenever the absolutely the people here are very much aware that this is the main price for put in for the war that he's fighting here in ukraine. and there is fighting going on on the outskirts of p. s, and it's increasingly heavy in the north west. there's been fighting for the last couple days in airplane. does a fairly strategic bridge. if that bridge falls into the hands of the russian forces, the next stop will be here. and i'm in the north east this morning. we were probably

happy or terribly fire in that area as well. so basically what you can see is that the russian forces are really close again from both sides, trying to circle the city. and there's a lot of worries that even though maybe this advance onto the capital has been sold for nearly a week. that is picking up and that could be a really major assault on key of and then next coming day. so above ground, this complete silence emptiness. people are really literally holding their breath for with something that i'm here on the ground. people are really hoping that there's going to be surviving. what's gonna happen to them? okay. many thank you. are forcing step bus and speaking to us from on the ground that a train station where many of the people all sheltering in ukraine rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman says moscow is not trying to overthrow ukraine's

overthrow the government in kiev. and they're not looking to occupy ukrainian land and their mission is very much one to try and get rid of this threat that is perceived here by the ukrainian elements that are in that country. at the interesting thing was that she didn't mention anything about the research sanctions that have been placed on russia, which is now the number one country in the world with the most sanctions against it . as of yesterday, there is now over nearly 6000 sanctions against the russian government and different entities overtaking iran, which has just over 3600 sanctions against the still ahead on al jazeera, no law mexico. one of the, well, most recognizable grounds is shocking shop in russia and exclusive access will take
