north, in the east. and even in the south where there was a book to be safe for us, if you only way out at the moment, for people who still want to flee to the capital. but also the only way in for supplies for food, for anything people who are still in the capital need and also for the troops who are fighting here. so if this circle is going to be route, if the holes, capital is being and circled by russian forces, of course, the situation will be good catastrophic here. lesson that live in key for thank you very much. indeed. streams of buses and cars have been taking families out of marysville keys and several other ukrainian cities. and despite the declaration of humanitarian corridors, several explosions had been heard around the capital. of course one just noticed during the whole reports from levine now in weston ukraine, a day of relative calm along temporary avenues of escape. war came

suddenly to the people of ukraine getting away from it is much harder from cities like sumi in the north where residential buildings were struck over night and from godaddy in the east waters, or even from maria pole in the south. among the most embattled of all, their fleeing seems like this. the remains of a maternity hospital, another inexplicable tragedy in conditions the red cross describes as apocalyptic. for many civilians still trapped in the ruins of their cities. there is no respite nor for medical teams in hospitals where the injured arrived daily was up. how are you little volva? the doctor asks. i am fine, replies the boy, following surgery to remove a bullet from the base of his skull message as below proper. we have operated on 4

it will mean again as the keys symphony orchestra plays a concert for peace. not far away is too noble a symbol of something much darker nuclear catastrophe. now in russian hands, a power cut to the plants, defunct reactors, and radioactive waste facilities, signaled ukrainian alarm the u. n's. atomic agency though says there's no critical impact on safety. satellite images show the concentration of russian forces on the outskirts of the capital. there can be little doubt that at some point, fortified and resupplied, they may try to overrun these outer suburbs. this is a moment as president zelinski described, it of maximum, the threat of the job nearby ball and getting ready to counter it of these training fighters who, what seems like only yesterday we're film students or i t workers there old lives

now on hold. russia may have superiority in terms of numbers, but ukraine has the reserves men between the ages of 18 and 60 who have been told they must remain in the country in case they needed to fight. but 1st, they must be taught how me, max is 20 and musician and music journalist, whose band echoes british prog, rock legends like maria and king crimson. i was born here and i need to protect this. so i hope all of my friends will be safe, and in the end, after the aunt of the war, we will meet again, have a beer, just have fun and relax daniel over the cinema floss. if somebody takes a special kind of optimism to believe those carefree days will soon be back. jonah whole al jazeera, jonah mentioned ukrainian officials say the defunct chernobyl nuclear plant has

been knocked off the power grid. terry ralph is a former official with the international atomic energy agency. he says, as far as international regulators are aware, general has backup power. but they are concerned about staff safety. there are actually 8 power lines coming in, future mobile to 750 kilowatt lines. for 330 kilowatt lines. to 110 kilowatt lines. they also say that they have 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 they are now saying that the hours then there is only these or 48 hours? i think this is something that the i, e a and the gradient parties 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 electric power supply, they still have diesel generators. and also, as i said on the upside, even without loss of power, as long as the water contain, when is not breached the spent fuel will remain safe from a radioactive release perspective. the director general rob murray on the the has, on a number of occasions, pointed out that the staff for that 210 staff that, that your mobile power plant have not managed to go home. and that hasn't been a shift change since the 23rd of the 24th of february. one of the reasons is that the crane that take them to the village where they live, goes through barrows and then re enter the ukraine. and the ukranian authorities, according to reports of authority, the russian authorities, according to reports, have said that they cannot guarantee the safety of the staff traveling back and forth. so there are no proper sleeping facilities. so the 4 people have to sleep on

the floor or on the bed. they haven't had proper arrests. so it is a major concern. it is an essential component of nuclear safety that the staff must be properly arrested, properly alert, properly fed, and the best a physical and psychological condition to manage their responsibility for the safe operation of the new care facility doesn't come on out. a 0 russians save their final meal. mcdonald says the american fast food joint says, shutting its doors because of the war and ukraine and will take you inside the command base of new jazz army. as it talks, it's next fight against iso and all kinda ah hello, got more lovely weather in 2 central parts. if you're not quite lovely i,

which was the west, but at least it's on the mall side, cloud and right. piling in from the atlantic, bumping into our area of high pressure, so it will grass the week. but there will still be sobriety coming in across odd and northern and pushing its about western side of scotland macy feeding across western parts of england through wiles, further east. we got some lively storms that just around the black sea. more wintry weather coming through is cold temperatures in cave. now. hi, the ram minus one celsius. heavier snow is going to be across the turkish mountains, over the next couple. they slowly moving a little further away. so you see that drag of coal normally winds gonna feel better by the stage kiva, top temperature of minus one celsius. this is where the warm this 12131415 degrees i would towards west and pass in the cloud and the right as where the sunshine is across central air is all the way down across central parts of the met. it's ready to water ne, that cold air sliding out of east in europe will affect the far north of africa.

one or 2 showers across northern parts of morocco. there. plenty of showers across central areas of africa as you go on through the next couple of days. just pushing across into the tropics and some heavy showers for the south. ah, living in a war zone is a risk not worth taking for most. but for a 10 year old boy, there is nowhere else to go. in the absence of his parents, his grandmother dedicates herself to his upbringing, never knowing whether the next explosion will echo one step closer to the place they call home the distant barking of dogs. a witness documentary on al jazeera. all the news.

a lot of the top stories here and there are a children's hospital has been struck in the ukrainian city of mary oppo printed government cases, children under the rubble after the attack. my russian forces, streams of buses and cars have been taking families out of murray poll keys and several other ukrainian cities. despite the declaration of humanitarian corridors, several explosions to be heard around the capital. and cardinal authorities say they each a noble nuclear plant has been knocked off the power grid. they mean the actions of russian troops. you see the facility 2 weeks ago, concern outage could affect the plants cooling system. d, u has announced new sanction that's targeting russian parliamentarians and

oligarchs, as well as banks in russia's ally, bella roost. $160.00 names have been added to the blocks economic blacklist with sanctions also now including crypto acids. burgess is an investigative journalist at the financial times and author of the book clip tokyo joins us live from london . thanks very much indeed for being with us. so on this latest sanctions that the use announce on the parliamentarians and the only dogs, how much difference do you think that will make? and i think the sanctions are very flawed tool. i think that the necessary, but what we actually trying to achieve here would be toxic sanctions, essentially to try to put pressure within the corrupt russian elite attitude force to change course. or to persuade the elite that putin no longer represent very interested to try to change ship. and i think it's the nature of teaching regime that he's been such a master of using corruption to secure loyalties and creating all the gods very

close to him and banishing others that those under sanctions we'll, we'll see that if he goes down, they go down to about really reduces, i think there are incentives to try to change the leader. and what about the, the link? i mean, you've talked about the broader issue of, of corruption and how it affects life in general. but what about the link between dirty money and violence? can we draw a line between that and, and the kind of operations that was seen on, on the ground and ukraine was the targeting of hospitals, for example. i think we absolutely can. and okay, we don't know the, the, the precise chain of command and then the decision to made about that wants to talk to at the hospital today. hopefully somebody someday will on trial for that. but for in the years i spent reporting my booked up. so i went all over the world, gathering testimonies from people who live on the click to see jacqueline foxes and dictatorships that ruled through corruption for their own enrichment. and what

happens is that these ruling classes as a whole, more wealth and power to themselves, often with the complicity of western powers and western consumers, buying their oil and gas, they become more and more and more detached from the people. so i've spoken in eastern congo to the fathers watching their children stop, while corrupt elite plunder the minerals in the soil. i've met the victims of torture in catholic style after a massacre ordered by the security forces loyal to the current president there. this is an effect to the of croft and this is where the, this is a road done, which corruption leads yet in elite, insulated from the consent of the people and through sheer force of wealth, corrupt wealth, able to abandon that duties to their fellow humans know now we're talking about the eve mentioned russia, the context of, of corruption. ukraine also had a history of corruption that they were starting to try and do something about it. do you think that movement towards trying to tackle corruption and ukraine was in

some ways frightening for putin? i think this is a really important question. i have been to speak to people today about this to piece together a little bit of the recent story of ukraine's efforts under the last couple of governments to try and stamp out corruption, which made a mistake is as much a weapon in putins austell as it's tanks and missiles are an under the pro russian regimes in ukraine. corruption has been used to alex normal wealth and power towards the kremlin, and that the resistance to that corruption is managed to put in, i mean, what are we looking at here? we're looking at a diabolical front in, in a wall that's been going on much longer than a couple weeks. this is the class between kept socrates the rule of the few corrupt alliances spanning the globe on the one hand on the, on the, on the other democracies, the rule of the many values the battle that's really been joined timber. just thank

you very much. indeed for doing that on torture. thank you. know, american fast food john. mcdonalds is preparing to close. it's 850 restaurants in russia. dasa jabari has been speaking to locals in moscow. the rushing to grab a final meal. this is the 1st mcdonalds that opens in russia in the heart of moscow in pushkin 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 their 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. who cannot? because they didn't pick, which is how can i not be? sorry, i'm very sorry. i came here on purpose. just 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. often 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 mcdonalds 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 moscow wasn't just about another restaurant opening. it was symbolic, it was about the end of an era in the relationship between soviet union, 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 or not bell re open in the near future remains to be seen. but what is clear is that this country's economic future is very much at stake. trains at russia filled with people, leaving home with many international flights suspended. one of the few roots out is the train to finland. thousands of russians have made the journey in the last week . and as paul reese reports from helsinki,

some don't know if they'll be able to return this is journeys, and one of the few remaining roots out 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 bookings since the start of the war and ukraine. i'm not sure we're coming back in like one or 2 mom. bigger we're afraid of staying in muslim right now. they didn't even have one refrain that the boarders might. we afraid that the economy might not recover manual home from left to russia. they went in georgia, they went to the y. s base closures have created bottlenecks for russians with the means to leave hundreds of cute at the border with lot fia, a seat on the helsinki train. it can mean an onward flight to anywhere in the world . but tickets a halt to come by. these trains were running up to 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 all returning to russia to. but the numbers coming into finland, a set to rise, though. now where justin i want to add one more thread that day starting from the next week. so adds us negotiators and about that we want to keep the thread traffic open that people can travel are from russia. and of course, also back to russian. if they had some reason to travel on the platform. few of those we spoke to were actively emigrating. some work in finland, others are seeing family while i can or getting back to homes abroad. this for people to go to rare with cerebral situations, it's like somebody is there in your house time to post them ukrainian to go south rosalyn. 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. as the number of refugees passes,
