it is believe the russian shelling has completely destroyed the children's hospital in mario poll city officials. they're saying it is a catastrophic scene. now, matter poll is a city on the see. often in the south of the country, it has been the scene of intense shelling for days. we know that people in the city have really been suffering because food, water, key thing, electricity is open cart or unavailable for a week. now the mayor of that city had been putting out messages a few days ago saying that people were really desperate situation. they have been wanting to get out, but it seems that some attempts to put in place to monitoring corey doors to allow people to leave 50, just have not come through. and people have effectively been trapped in a place where, you know, we're hearing reports of bodies on the street, people coming out from their basement from the day off to sheltering from the

shelling at night. and then just trying to find food anywhere they can show in shops. so this terrible news and be denied and today is the idea that a children's hospital has been raised. we don't know how many victims they're all you'd imagine there would be quite a few. and also again, we've had so many times from the kremlin, but it is not targeting civilian areas in this war. but again, we all think hospitals have schools have residential areas. have families wiped out effectively in this invasion. natasha, thank you very much. as you're pointing out, of course, this is just fresh news, is that we have very little information, but thank you very much. we will come back to you as we get some more. we have an explosions around ukraine's capitalized russian forces move closer to what's considered to be their president prized possession ah. all strings of boxes and cars have been taken families out of keep military

to take the video of smoldering apartment buildings outside their windows. the ukranian deputy prime minister says the hope is that beginning at 9 am local time. on wednesday, a seas fire in places such as the keys, car keys, and sumi regions would hold for 12 hours, so people could escape the fighting along humanitarian corridors. both ukraine and russia have agreed to conceive on the walker. he news approach residents are asking me to make sure the russian federation fulfills its promises and people can leave the place they've been hiding from the fire in the shelling that is killing them. the spokeswoman of the russian ministry of foreign affairs accused the ukrainian government of feeling to give citizens clear guidance on humanitarian corridors. she says 2000000 people have turned to russia for assistance and 140000 have already entered the country since the invasion began. she also says the ukrainian

military is using phosphorus which is illegal if used against civilian government. why am store the ukranian military supported by extremists, nationalists and milton battalions? the russian side has noted the use of phosphorus weapons and it's forbidden by the un new allegations of war crimes have emerged. amnesty international says, as people lined up to get bread in a public square, ensure in a heath last week, it was hit by multiple bombs. 3 people were killed. amnesty says its investigation shows at least 8, so called dumb bombs, rain down on the square, and it's likely a russian air strike. this is one of a growing number of alleged attacks on civilians. a violation of the geneva convention. the international criminal court is now investigating war crimes in ukraine. natasha going to l just 0,

granting official say the defunct to noble nuclear plants been knocked off the power grid that's raise concerns about the facilities, long term ability to cool nuclear material. there you claims for ministers called for a cease fire to repair damage to the power grid. monitoring systems may also be affected, which means the un nuclear watchdog is unable to receive information on the planned tags phase, the form ahead of the verification and security policy coordination office, the international atomic energy agency explain some of the backup systems. tional facility has the seems to be some difference in information. i was just looking at the website of the state nuclear regulatory inspectorate of ukraine, which is the licensing authority. and they said that the 1750 kilowatt hour line was cut. and that, that your noble nuclear power air plant is be energized and the diesel fuel for

generators. there is only sufficient for 48 hours. but if we look at the stress crest stress test report put out by the regulator a few years ago, there are actually 8 power lines coming in future normal to 750 kilowatt lines. for 330 kilowatt lines. to 110 kilowatt lines. they also say that they have a backup diesel fuel to run the generators for 7 days. so we don't know which information is correct and, and why if the previously the regulator reported to the i e a that they had a power lines and these are sufficient for 7 days. why are there now saying that power is got them? there is only these with or 48 hours, so i think this is something that the i a e, a and the gradient part. these need to resolve very quickly. however, according to the, again to the regulator. if, even if the interim spent fuel pooly spent fuel cooling on lose electrical

power supply, they still have diesel generators. and also, as i said on its website, even without loss of power, as long as the water containment is not breached the spent fuel will remain safe from a radioactive release. perspectives you have, you ation sanctions of last russians who want to leave the country with few options with flights to europe suspended. one of the only routes available is a train to finland around. 5000 russians have made the journey in the last 10 days . and as paul reese reports, and how sinking some don't know if he'll ever return home. this is journey's end. one of the few remaining route south of russia to trains a day run from st. petersburg to the finish capital helsinki. it's a service that has seen a 5 fold spike in brookings since the start of the war and ukraine. i'm not sure we are coming back in like one or 2 months. we're afraid of thing. right now i didn't

even have afraid that the board us my so we're afraid that the economy of my not sure cover many friends left russia. they went to georgia and they went to new by s base closures have created bottlenecks for russians with the means to leave hundreds of cute at the border with lot via a seat on the helsinki train. it can mean an onward flight to anywhere in the world, but tickets are hard to come by. these trains were running at 20 percent of capacity before the start of the war. now they're fully booked with around 500 russians arriving in finland every day. some are returning to russia to but the numbers coming in to finland, a set to rise malware. justin, i want to add one more day thing from the next week. so we're just negotiating about that. i want to give the range traffic open that people can travel from russia and of course, also back to russia if they have some reason to travel on the platform. few of

those we spoke to were actively emigrating, some work in finland. others are seeing family wall. i can are getting back to homes abroad. that's the only way for people to go to room with the cerebral situations. it's like somebody's death in your house times 50 percent, ukrainian 50 percent rational. so for us, it's a, it's a huge threat. while that's tragedy continues. it's ukrainians who need a safe haven here and elsewhere in europe. pull res, i'll use era. helsinki still ahead. an algae 0. you know, one of the world's most recognizable brands takes itself out of russia. we're going to look at other big corporations following suit, finally found, and remarkably intact and discovery more than a 100 years in the making of antarctica. ah,

episode full on al jazeera. ah ah, what you're going to say, i reminded myself. so is this, our children's hospital is been bombed in the cleaning and city of mario poll. president followed me landscape as children are under the rubble after an attack, 5 russian forces, mighty opposed city council says the hospital has been destroyed. explosions have been hired and ukraine's capital, despite the declaration of another humanitarian pause and fighting streams of buses and cars being carried families out of keys to safety. training authorities say this are noble, nuclear plants being knocked off. the power grid is concerned. the outage could

affect the cooling systems of the size of the world's worst nuclear disaster. the foreign ministers of russia and ukraine will meet in turkey on thursday. the highest level talks since russia's invasion of ukraine began nearly 2 weeks ago. but ukraine's foreign minister to meet so ca label says he's not expecting any major breakthrough money. to be honest, i'm reserved with my optimism. i do not have high expectations, but of course we will be pressing for the maximum. i will demand a ceasefire to liberate our territories and of course, to resolve the humanitarian issues or other catastrophes created by the russian military. owing to the actions of the ukrainian armed forces, as well as the coordinated actions with partners regarding sanctions. i am going to these negotiations in a strong position. the russians accused us of supporting what it's calling on ukraine military, biological lab, both keys and the pentagon have denied the allegations. the says it's likely just

a russian this information. but this is diane gifts griffey. we are confirming the facts that we're on veiled during the special military operation in ukraine, which indicates an emergency cleanup of military biological programs by the key regime. they were carried out by keys and financed by the united states of america . as well as fast food, john is one of several big u. s. companies pulling out of russia. it comes as pressure grows on western firms to sever ties because of the invasion of ukraine. alexander reports from new york, you know, ha mcdonald sold its 1st big back in what was been the soviet union 32 years ago. in the mcdonald's, in the iconic american fast food chain has opened around 150 stores in russia. but on tuesday, the company announced it would temporarily close its russian operations. and it was

followed just hours later by other us giants, starbucks, coca cola and pepsi, all in response to vladimir putin. t decision to invade ukraine. we are going away . 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 make similar moves in russia. on tuesday, the firms actions got the backing of us president joe biden over the weekend. visa, mastercard, american express, they all suspended their services in russia, all joining a growing list of american global companies. companies are having to play a balancing act on one side. there's a ican on 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 they're in. it, it helps foot, the ceos show that to their board. so 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 in ukraine. but it's a statement they hope will resonate. gabriel sancho al jazeera new york. no such a body's been speaking to people in moscow rushing to grab a last bite before the company shuts its doors. this is the 1st mcdonalds that opens in russia in the heart of moscow and pushkin's square on january 31st, $990.00. on that day, people came from all over the country and waited in line for up to 8 hours to get their 1st taste of this american brand. now, on that date,

this mcdonald served 30000 people. now the company has decided that as a result of the ongoing russian operation is that cover me and calls it in ukraine . they can no longer continue. they have decided to close all 850 branches of the restaurant across russia until further notice, and they will continue to pay the 62000 employees that i've been working for them over the past 32 years. now. we've been asking the employees here when they will stop serving customers. they say they don't know. so we managed to get the last few hours or days of this restaurant serving customers here in moscow. and this is what they have to say will come out because they didn't pick, which is how can i not be? sorry, i'm very sorry. i came here on purpose just to have a look. i remember when i opened, i was here with my sister. everyone was standing and waiting in line with our flags on that 1st day. it was great. i have such a great memory. i don't wanted to close down honestly. we paid money for and it

belongs to a class austin again. today i wanted a taste of my childhood for the last time, but generally this is better for our kids, so we will have healthy children. a health generation was just we've loved mcdonald since we were kids. we will remember it, but we understand the reasons we understand that there are various controversies. i hope some changes will be made, but maybe not. then it will just remain in our memory. it was tasty. thank you. the opening of this restaurant in multiple wasn't just about another restaurant opening . it was symbolic, it was about the end of an era in the relationship between then soviet union and the united states. and its temporary closure is not just about another restaurant closing down in the city. it's about the relationship between this country and western businesses, which has suffered tremendously over the past 2 weeks. whether not they'll reopen

in the near future, remains to be seen. but what is clear is that this country's economic future is very much at stake. vicky prizes the chief economic advisor to the center for economics and business research, and she says recent developments are likely to affect global supply chains. there is an issue about globalization. we've seen it as a result of coverage with supply chain issues when there was a lot of thinking about on shoring. but you're also seeing this now no, just in terms of inputs of materials that we need from russia have been importing like the price of nickel doing up very significantly. for example, the last couple of days because we used a lot in electric cars. so what it is going up and the dependence in particular countries is now become such an obvious issue. so it's security that western companies and countries are now looking full. which means can we redirect

some of the purchases to somewhere else? will be difficult in some areas, but ready seeing the moves dims of gas and oil and coal. and i think that will be, do is re thinking about the dependency articulate on individual countries where we have concerns about whether we'll be able to deal with them in the future the way we did before. so is there anything taking place and it's not going to be a good place really to be in the sense that we have had huge, improve your productivity, low cost to consumers. i'm afraid it looks like that era may be over to the time being at any rate, while prizes have dipped slightly after surging on tuesday on wednesday and the price to bring crude, which is a key benchmark for global oil prices. what's happening around a $122.00 a barrel? that's done from tuesdays high of $130.00 a battle. the rise was triggered by the u. s. decision to ban imports of russian oil. ok, let's take a look at some of the news night news news years army is under pressure to secure

town of while and in south west nija. okay, both in south korea's presidential election suggest less than a percentage point is separating the 2 leading candidates has been a bitter campaign, dominated by mudslinging and scandals. rob mcbride reports from south korea as capital. so this has been a neck and neck race since the start of the campaign. and with typical game show punish the main broadcast as exit. polls confirmed, it's still a race to close to cold. but to the relief of the liberal democratic party, their candidate lead jane young was predicted in one pole to have a way for thin lead. in contrast to the glum response of the campaign, headquarters of conservative challenger un scipio, after weeks of campaigning, often not by personal scandals and mud slinging, the conservatives had been hoping to attract normally progressive young voters

after the failure of the ruling liberals to tackle wealth and equality and the high cost of home ownership. he therefore shall hot on him by with rather than saying those in the twenty's have become conservative. i think they've moved away from progressive tendencies. job seeker, kim's on hand is being kicked it out for an upcoming interview. and a suit rental scheme that's paid for by sole metropolitan government. it's one of a number of measures to help young people cope in the city. so single. i think it would be difficult to live in sol without this kind of support. finding a job and making a living is very difficult. i thought i was 90 my liberal candidate. lee is hoping to win over the disillusioned young with his own rags to riches story rising from an impoverished rural background to become governor of south korea most populous province. one issue that doesn't feature prominently with young voters is the state

of relations with north korea, which in spite of several years of diplomatic engagement by the outgoing liberal president moon j and once again back in a deep freeze. but north korea is more important with older voters who it seems to have been waiting for this chance to punish the liberals at the pilot bumps can do money. north korea has been quite provocative. south korea's reaction has been incompetent to congo. if you can't gain anything from reconciliate, tore gestures and i don't think it's working to come out, they say the best way to keep the paces to be ready for war. you know, and i think that's true. given the turbulent nature of in to korean relations, the final outcome of this election is being closely followed not only in the north, but by many international players way beyond the korean peninsula. robert bride al jazeera, so i was taken more than a 100 years,
