to flee the violence both sides, the keys, each other threatening, fragile monetary in cordele were in new york home to america's largest ukrainian community with various religious liter, according to russia and ukraine, all about to hold their highest level talk since the invasion of ukraine began some 15 days ago, but as the foreign ministers gathering in turkey 3 hospitals in ukraine were reportedly struck by russian as strikes. one of the children's hospital and maternity ward in the besieged city of marian pole. the news network is all spawn class is reporting that 3 people were killed, including a child, a warning, some views may find the images and the bulk is report distressing.

the the colossal block echoes across the city of mary opal. but this isn't a military target. it's a maternity ward and children's hospital one of the other victim heavily pregnant women, he was with serious injuries, his stretch and through a shattered building. the elderly, the young, the, the mom. this is the indifference of war. the, an explosion so powerful. the crisis is several meters so horny.

i says give us when it gets to de russian invaders committed a grave crime. said this official women and children were wounded. somebody was a war crime without any justification. he said, after days without supplies, heating or electricity ukrainians will or the calling very often the nearest thing to hell on earth. now look at it. what are they all the defining images of flattery may putins war and there's a new urgency to the ukrainian leaderships, desperate plea for more help. the bulk of, i'll just say we're or ukraine's president says, the strike is further proof that a no fly zone must be imposed by nato bumble. voluntarily car, new russian bombs landed on a children's and maternity hospital. you, the building is destroyed. actually, we're still going through the rubble. what sort of threat did i posed to the russian federation? what's happening in ukraine is a genocide. people of europe,

you can see what's happening with the and you must put pressure on russia. so they stop this one straw city and the war one was we mention the highest level talks yet are taking place in turkey loops as russians. foreign minister love role great and a short time ago by his turkish counterparts. lovegrove is there for twigs with ukraine's foreign minister to me throw cooler bow. he said he doesn't have high expectations, but will push for a complete end to hope since he's us go straight to jamal al file, who is an untidy a for us in southern turkey. to monitor what is happening. so talk us through these talks. what are we expecting? well, i mean currently the significance is, as you mentioned, it is the highest level talks that are to take place tarkey has from the beginning so that it was pushing to try and use the leverage. how's both with moscow to find

a solution all the while trying to have this balancing act without appearing to take any one sided or be at the fact that turkey has insisted that it supports ukraine's right to its sovereignty and territorial integrity. the reality is, know that there is little a hope that they will come up with something tangible from these talks will be aside from at least discussions continuing. and the reason for that is that you've heard the comments from the rope saying that he wasn't too optimistic, the ukrainian from minutes that said yesterday that he was going to speak to la roof in the past. he's one of the key architects of the invasion of ukraine, quite strong language that he used describing get some starkey walls that does have good relations with both countries may like in the ability to force any one side

towards a solution. the demands from the russians remain the same. they claim that they want to find a demilitarized ukraine. the ukraine was constitution would change, preventing, get from joining any blocks. and ukraine obviously has rejected those specific demands amongst an immediate and to the military attacks. what's possible maneuvering there is what space between the 2 or common space between the 2 sides can appear. it's very difficult to see exactly, but at least the optimist say that some sort of discussions taking place is better than no discussions. realists on the other side will say, well, those discussions are taking place whilst envision continues and bombings continue . so from target perspective, it's a great photo op to show it's diplomacy. it's a show it's regional quality and its ability to bring those both sites where there

will be anything more than that. wait and see. there are going to be press conferences afterwards, separate ones, turkish and ukrainian, one behind me and in another room, a russian one. so we'll see what happens after that. okay, jamal. thank you, jim. i will be keeping this across any developments coming from antalya in southern turkey. let's now get the latest from ukraine's capital that boston is, bye for us to bring us up to date. the latest on the ground while still have you fighting here on going on the outskirts of the cathy fell also throughout the night. ukrainian forces have said that they are really on a big fight at the moment to protect the capital. you can imagine, of course, the horror and terror that people here are going through every night. we're also, we're a right era sirens going off fight to jets, flying over many people here are spending the night down under here in the subways

and shelters. and also what we know is in the outskirts, in the other town to around keeps there have been russian soldiers looting, stealing from residents. they are many residents have tried to flee. but as also still many people trapped, they had the immigration, for example, from if it has still not finalized because even if a creation buses were shot at and i'm actually here on my dad square. and if he, if is the main price for planning me put in his more, this is very hard to say, this is the center where the revolution that took place in 2014, where many people were killed, which led to the ousting of a russian affiliated president, your quote of age, and also the move for your brain to closer to europe. the reason friday may put in has used to even start this war. nobody here could have expected that 7 years later they still, they had to defend the ukrainian flag,

which is still flying here very broadly against russian tanks moving closer to the capital. but for now, they are really putting up a very fierce defense. and the capital, of course, is still in ukrainian hands and step what more can you tell us about the attack on the hospital, the maternity hospital in marion hall, we saw those horrific images of pregnant women being pulled out. what is the situation that say well, more and more tragic news is emerging from mario, paul, because of course, the, the intensity of the bombing, the huge, greater, has left the whole hospital in rubble. so there's a lot of evacuation work going on and what we know by now is that 3 people have di, did act on firm that, including a small child. but of course, it's still very hard to know how many people really the idea we've seen, of course, the images of very highly pregnant women being carried out on strike,

just covered in bloss. russia has that now, it was in the maternity hospital, they denied that they bought the maternity ward and the children's hospital. they said it wasn't you for that anymore to where you gradient through there. but we've seen all the images. they went around the world and presidents lansky has called there's a war cry and says that this genocide being happening submitted here and ukraine. and he calls on the west. they say you says that the west is an accomplice in terror, by latin gets happen and not closing disguise that often for us in the capitol. if ukraine keeps ok, let's take a look at how things stand on the ground on day 15 off, rushes will on ukraine. let's take a look at the map. russian forces have made gains in the areas shown on the map in read safe routes agreed for the evacuation of civilians have so far only been

partially successful. civilians from and, and holder of been evacuated dupree's yet those in modern poll was expected to go. that the so far evacuation attempts from that have failed elsewhere. an escape route has been established between volney vodka and poke ross while in the car. key region people from is you are expected to go to missouri and evacuation efforts have continued from me to pull tava, corridors from towns around keith have also been agreed in you quite as president says 35000 people evacuated from cities on wednesday. john hall has the latest from the 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, for many civilians, still trapped in the ruins of their cities. there is no rest bite, 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 children inside the one little girl has died. in an arc of smaller towns close to the capital, key of the great escape continues on foot. much of it here from places like butcher and her pin can't bear to let go. father. stay behind the defend the town. oh. and from hoster mouth and my courage

with 13 people died on sunday, queuing for bread was, there was you. those are was interested in the friends. these are a very difficult times for your brain. so i was on, but if you then it appears, holds the defenders in the they've managed to get not to safety, so much as the comfort of the capital, the still standing symbol of what it once meant to live in his sovereign country. ah, and what they're determined, 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 humans, 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. they 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 zalinski described it, of maximum strength of the job when nearby and getting ready to counter it. are these training fighters who, what seems like only yesterday were 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've been told they must remain in the country in case they're needed to fight. but 1st, they must be taught how me, max is 20, a musician and music journalist, whose band echoes british prog,

rock legends like meridian 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 there and 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 envy. the earth house of representatives has post a government spending bill that includes $13600000000.00 in aid for ukraine. one portion will cover the cost to send troops and weapons to eastern europe, the all the for humanitarian aid for refugees. the bill still has to pass a vote in the senate, which could take some days. plenty more and the ukraine was ahead on out there, including being from the outskirts a keep how ukraine's always helping thousands of people get out

russian tugee, a holding talk in antalya. it is the highest level meeting since began for you. previous rounds between ukraine and russia. failed to make, the president says 35000 people were evacuated from to feed on wednesday montera car. it sets off a round the country by side, each other reaching out there as well as em. hammett is in the city of it, a pin on the outskirts of ukraine's capital. he has more residents fleeing the fighting and the just certain avoid it. we did, we now, it was the only and remain crossing the central if and, and the southern possibility that we can see hundreds or rather 1000 decisions coming from the heart of war. minot, the ukrainian army is here to help old,

all sick people like this woman, and many of them are in bed need of help. this is a long queue of people who are trying to flee the homes and district. the sounds of bombing and showing have stopped for now, and i'm trying to go to the other side to give you a better understanding of the situation of those people who told us they leave their homes this morning after shooting and stops. people went through each of the doors knocked and told each other. it was time to leave. and many people live in basement, their houses, the apartments, and try to leave from european from butcher. and this is the place where people are crossing the breach which is destroyed. and from here they have a creation starts here, territorial defense work, i member of territorial defense. ok. so we are helping people just to get to the cars, to buses and to move the hug. mccann, she had a demand for the destruction here. i could give you an idea about what has happened over the last few days over the you can see the little far away buildings with the russian forces and 900. the displaced people arrive here by car cross the bridge by

foot to the different destination. yeah, eventually getting to the kids but what is government has released to us prisoners, it's seen of a small but potentially important step as the us government looks to find alternatives to russian oil or latin american editor c. and you've been report who started got enough 2nd from the left is one of 6 executives of cit, go the u. s. based affiliate of venezuela state on oil company sentence 2 between 9 and 15 years in prison in caracas, his release and that of cuban american horse albert fernandez, accused of terrorism for flying a drone in venezuela at the 1st tangible results of a secret meeting last weekend between been his wayland, president, nicole, asthma, rudo, and 3 white house on boys the us applause, the men's release,

and hopes another southern american prisoners will soon follow. but it concedes that meeting had another key objective. and it's also true that we have an interest globally in maintaining a steady, steady supply of energy, including through our diplomatic effort. so all of these things come to bear when it comes to to venezuela. venezuela has was largest oil reserves, but its industry and its economy had been crippled by horseshoe, a sanctions aimed at forcing our president ma rudo, whom washington labels a dictator. mcgruder is also russian president vladimir putin staunchest regional allied. he thought helena threatened. yes, he told top military and political leaders that talks with us would continue adding the spoken to fellow opec members are increasing been as well in oil production that would require the us to ease or eliminate oil sanctions. de la han, you said by the southern american petro later,

we have always led initiative to stabilize the market, the gas market, and the energy market. once we have recovered moderately, we are prepared to produce up to 3000000 barrels for the stability of the world. for peace. 5 or thank you for the last 3 years, washington is recognized. opposition leader one why? law? as the whalers transition president? but the ukraine crisis and the sky rocketing price of fuel seemed to be setting the stage for a more preg. patrick approached us. venezuela relations, if you're not in place, you know, there's an extraordinary correlation between major oil producing countries and autocratic rules. the u. s. doesn't want to buy russian or running or venezuela oil . the saudis don't answer the phone. so if you button, you don't have the luxury right now to choose who you buy from the capital prices down. you have to pick the lesser evil one. that doesn't mean that washington is close to recognizing moodle. one thing is business and another politics. there is,

after all, along history of commercial ties between countries that don't have diplomatic relations to see and human al jazeera or later is sounding firm and it's decision not to fully intervene and ukraine skies battlefields on those roslyn jordan reports for us on the u. k. a talking up the effectiveness of sanctions against russia. a show of support for ukrainian resistance from the us state department. it's impossible to see the images of people seeking refuge and keys metro in 2022, and not think of those who sheltered in the london underground. $942.00 and a vote of confidence in the west response to russia's invasion tech. we have surprised peach and with all unity and the toughness of our sanctions, those sanction including us and u. k. oil import, bam. cutting russian banks off from international transactions. and the freezing of

assets belonging to officials, including president blood are mere, potent, have rocked the russian economy. the kremlin is crying foul v unconditionally the united states to canada can on the chord and russia and waging this or western officials are unapologetic. they call their economic strategy and extremely effective way of holding moscow accountable for attacking ukrainian civilian economically. the measures that we've taken have a race 30 years of progress integrating russia into the world. so i think what we're looking at is whether or not president putin will decide to try to finally cut the losses that he's inflicted on himself and inflicted on the russian people. we're very clear that our objective is a peach into fail in ukraine. this unwarranted act of aggression must

not succeed and it would be terrible consequences if it did succeed for european and global security. even though the u. s. and the u. k. agree that vladimir potent will not succeed in conquering ukraine. there wasn't any offering from either the foreign minister or the secretary of state on what exactly the end of the war will look like. or whether any relationship with moscow can continue if he remains in power. rosalyn jordan al jazeera at the state department. new york is home about 150000 ukrainians. it's the largest community in the u. s. religious leaders, the various fights have come together in solidarity calling for peace. gabriel alexander has more. they came to pray for peace. there was a rabbi and an archbishop and followers of other religions all gathered in the ukrainian orthodox cathedral to offer support to the ukrainian faithful and to call

for one thing an end to the war. it was the largest inter faith prayer service of its kind in new york since russia invaded ukraine. this was a way to come together with other people, pray together, be and sell a dirty lot. everybody is together and saying innocent people cannot be mercilessly murdered. that is not except according to all faith traditions, if you have no faith traditions in human, it's indecent. it's immoral. the russian orthodox church patriarch, creal, and ally vladimir putin has justified the invasion during his sermons saying it is a struggle against sin. religious leaders here flatly reject that. it will lead to the leaders of russia and especially to do more

to justify this invasion in this bloodshed. this is acceptable and i think what russia people deserve best and leadership both political and religious for some of the religious leaders. they say this mass was just the beginning. and if they hope in the coming days and weeks, they can travel to the region themselves to offer prayers and support in person to those that needed the most. gabriel's condo, i'll just hit new york. let's take a look at some of the knees now, indian prime minister, the render modi's party, the b j. p is set to retain control of the most popular state of the dash, but being counted in a total of 5 states early results put the b j p head in for them the congress party . the opposition is expected to lose power in punjab to the a p. the result the seen as a crucial test ahead of national elections in 2024 and south korea as close as ever

presidential election has been won by the conservative challenger union. so q will, you will take over from the liberal leader moon j in who's 5 year term. and in may, robert bride has a story from self. since the start of this bruising campaign, conservative challenger units that had remained neck and neck with a liberal rival, the j mail exit polls put them within a percentage points of each other. and so began a sleepless night for many in south korea following local broadcast is animated depiction of this epic struggle until you emerged as when i am deeply grateful to all over you and the people who have supported a beginner to this point, a political newcomer, he 1st came to prominence as the lead prosecutor in the imprisonment of disgraced former president parky and hey, following her impeachment for corruption. 5 years ago. you comes into this job

having held no political office, but presenting himself as a force of change politically and socially conservative. he is in stark contrast to 5 years of liberal rule. he's also promised a much tougher line with north korea, but many question, how much of that campaign rhetoric? i think a prison unit is going to choose very pragmatic. warren and national security policy, at least for a while, it comes after an increase in missile testing by the north, with the threat of launching longer range missiles of the kind that have brought the korean peninsula to the brink of conflict in the past. rub mcbride, elgin's era, so ah, this is out there are these, your top stories are reports,

at least 3 people have been killed in the russian air strike the children's hospital and the requirements that he has multiple. now the 17 or.
