pardon from czar portia on saturday. at least 1000000 ukrainians have been eternally displaced by the war. while more than 2500000 have been forced to leave the country hammered, fun, alicio. let's take a look now where things stand in ukraine. areas shaded and red hair are controlled by russia, and it's allied, separate as fighters. moscow concentrated, more forces on the outskirts of the capital cave. in the south, russia has taken control of the area surrounding this operation, nuclear power plant. and in the north such hon. power plant has also been seized by russian forces. both sides are still being operated by ukrainian staff brushes also taken control of her son, a port city on the black sea. another port city mary paul remains under siege and its people are short of food, water, and electricity done hollis standing by for us in the western city of disease.

that's 1st let's go to step boston who is in cave and step. you've been to a press conference with the president of a lot amazing lensky just in the past few hours. 7 what did he have to say? yes, exactly. are we a matter followed him? your silence kitty embattled, her ukrainian president in his suppressor, then shall officer, a very heavily guarded a man of course, also who has been inspirational to many here in ukraine because he decided to stay right here in the heart of the capital. he has been showing himself on videos as well. it was not an easy way to get to him. of course, it was all very heavily security years had to leave or cars or phones, or all the stuff behind were picked up by his man, driven behind the very high barricades near his office into a room where he appeared. and he of course, after 2 weeks off for war and really as director, involvement in it,

he looked tired but definitely not defeated. he was very critical about europe, about the west. he basically compared to european leaders with the people just sitting in cafes or restaurants, waiting until the bombs would fall on their hands. he basically said we here in ukraine are fighting for european values. and he didn't feel he got enough support for that. he could chose his words very carefully because he of course, doesn't want to close any doors, but it was very clear that he is very much frustrated. let's have a little listen. children's hospitals, maternity ward, residential areas. there seemed to be part of the strategy to force you to surrender. this is clearly not working, but it must have an enormous impact on you mentally shuttle, felicia and j, regarding the children and the beautiful mothers and what happened to them. how can any normal person react to this?

well, it's simply an act of terrorism, another one. unfortunately, this is like a tragic tv series about acts of terrorism. when this is happened elsewhere in europe, like when there's been an attack on a metro station for everyone was shocked to day rule apparently used to it now. so i don't want to be usually what will happen next door. nobody knows instep as we have been saying, our russian troops are advancing. it appears on the capital. what's the latest in terms of the fighting? yeah, exactly. this meeting with the president with zalinski took place while the fighting is increasing around the capital and russian forces are really approaching the heart of ukraine. the main prize and pollutants war is happy fighting on the outskirts and what we also are hearing in the last hour or so that this is also spreading to the south. and this is particularly worrying because so there's

a lot of a concern that the whole city will be on. so on circled by russian force was basically laying a c h to the capital. well, if for these troops are already in the south bend, that looks like they're quite near as lance game south sat the that in there, you want to destroy the historic heart of this city. and he also said, well, let them come, they won't find any friends here that he's very much defy and, but the situation and keith is increasingly worrying. i will leave there for now. i think that update their step boss. and for us in the ukrainian capital, keith, let's get the latest are from jonah hall, who is in the video. jonah, what's the situation then across the rest of the country? ongoing reports of attacks across all the front lines into the car key. that big city of any one and a half 1000000 ethnic russian speakers. many of them, of course, will have fled by now emergency services saying they pulled 5 bodies from the

rubble of a residential building, including 2 children from a tax overnight. mario paul as well, of course, completely besieged blockaded, bombarded, constantly, a mosque said to have been shell during the early hours of the morning. that was sheltering 18 people among them. turkey citizens. we haven't had any update on potential casualties. they're further attacks on denise pro in the center, so it's 1st missile strike on friday. those apparently were repelled by defense is further attempts to probe the ukrainian defenses around the port city of mich alive, an important potential gateway to odessa, also repelled. we understand mister lensky as you heard him, that vowels report particularly exercised about the capture of the mayor, of many topple, even federal federal who was picked up by 10 russians. on friday, a bag placed over his head and marched away. angry protests in many topple on

saturday, and mister lindsey, calling on european leaders to prevail on mister bruton to do something about that . well, we know that mister micron of france and mister schultz of germany have had a 75 minute telephone call with me putin perhaps amongst other things talking about the return of the mayor of many topple emmanuel macro, the french president saying he demanded an immediate cease fire and one other interesting line to bring you coming from the black sea town of san, one of the towns, in fact, the 1st major city occupied by russian forces, the deputy head of the local council. this says russia is planning to hold what he describes as a pseudo referendum in have san at to see how many people in cars on might want to set up another breakaway province. you may recall in 2014, when rushing back separatist fighters rolled into towns across don't that's going to ganske provinces. they held a referendum after that to see amongst the russians, because they're who wanted to be separated from ukraine and re announced

a resounding decision in favor will potentially move here to do something similar to try and concrete. the games that russia is making along that southern black sea corridor. that seems as if they are very much working off the same playbook. jonah, meanwhile humanitarian corridors won't selection still not front we're not getting constant updates about numbers or anything like that. so we, these corridors have reopened again for the 6th day as this week from places like sue me and suburban centers around the capital kias. and in all the ukrainian emergency services say that 487000 civilians have been extracted from embattled places, towns and cities among them, a 100000 children. sadly, no obvious progress though to reach mario pole. that awful. besieged embattled city where more than a 1500 people have lost their lives according to local authorities. there it's been

without basic necessities for more than 12 days. now a convoy trying to reach mary awful. we understand has not been successful because of ongoing shelling. in that town, journal hall there for us interview. thank you. so head on al jazeera, what's fueling high, a foot prices in the middle east and north africa. and a former student leader with ambitious plans to the votes. it's youngest, ever president. ah. hello, the weather is a little more mobile and it has been recently across north asia. we have got bands of cloud ad re, some sleep in the snow to just pushing in from west to east little area of high

pressure in the se of japan that notches out to the way that just allows the next system to feed across the water. se south caressing some very heavy rain for a time at wet weather, pushing up into northern parts of han shoe and then easing through as we go one into monday, a little bit of a winter mix over the high rabbit. nothing too much to speak of, as you can see, temperature is not faring too badly as a next area frank coming in across the korean peninsula. north grey will see some significant snow pushing up towards the north east of china. follow that band of wet weather into central parts of china. some shabby rain around here. while she dried hong kong temperatures around $27.00 celsius lottie drive 2 across c in their china region. we have got some showers once again coming back into the philippines, one or 2 of those just around loose on, on the heavy side could scattering a showers there across malaysia, and also running in across a good part of indonesia. we'll see some showers too running towards do, shall anchor over the next day or so. much of india is dry and hot. and the same

goes for pakistan, ah, from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between. it did out with that worse for people and your our planet promised to ensure the safety of women. what's happened that justice systems are pulled back, that people actually have more feel. why is the u. k. feel hostile to transfer the mystery to all of us. join me if i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction at the time to get up front on al jazeera lou ah, ah,

you're watching al jazeera, her reminder about top stories. the solid grains capital has been wrought by explosions and gone far. this fighting intensifies aunt outskirts. an air base just outside keith has been destroyed. crush and ground forces amassed just 25 kilometers from the center of the city. protest is in the ukrainian city of medical, are demanding the release of their mer. ukraine's government is put out security camera video, which it says shows and being abducted by russian soldiers, cities in western ukraine that were largely spared from fighting. and now under attack from russian forces, our correspondent natasha butler is in the city of lights. what is church in the north western city old litski is taking in people from across the country. they can come here for some food they can get rest a shower. i've been speaking to a father who's here with his 6 very young children. they came from the east of the

country. he told me that night after night of wash and shelling was absolutely unbearable that he can stop his children crying. and he also says that he doesn't know what he's going to do next. when you, when she was a brother home on a door, they took everything from me. when i had a comfortable house, gold, kids had their own room. now where will i go when us and what will i do with the last mom when i'll have to start from scratch? you thought i'm not 20. i'm 40 washer. i guess you will lose. gave just over a 100 kilometers a from the border with bella rosen, some ukrainian officials say that perhaps troops from bella ross could come over the border and fight alongside rush forces. but the office of ukraine's president says that they don't believe that is the case. nevertheless, there's so much conflicting information. it's all fueling anxiety here, particularly after a russian missile strike on an airfield, just north of this city. one of the 1st major attacks on west in ukraine,

since the invasion began. as the threat grows, the exodus of refugees continues. here's the scene of poland border with ukraine, where large numbers of people are entering on foot more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have fed so far. volunteers from across europe have made their way to border crossings to help provide food and other essentials. and we arrived 3 days ago, but here we are. we're operating 247. we don't stop or the people, the refugees are coming from 50 yards away, mostly women and children, old women, and a very sad state. obviously what is happening. the polish people have been amazing, so we're here to support the polish people as well as ukrainians because of predators. people have received the brunt of this influx i. well monica matthew, she's from the polish humanitarian organization group. her grade so which provides aid to asylum seekers. she says poland is facing

a huge challenge. 3 hundreds of thousands of people who has to be accommodated very quickly and they need medical, how they need legal help they need explaining what's going to happen to them within the next few months. you know, they also need some sort of psychological assistance quite often. first of all, to like, you know, regained their, their, their, their mental ability after crossing the border and after keeping the war. and then the 2nd thing is probably looking into the future. so far, the burden of all of this is lying heavily on the local authorities. and, you know, civil society organizations, this is what's been, who has been helping out the, you know, train station stations, organizing, accommodation, etc, etc. though we don't know what's going to happen next to people's patients and also

ability to, you know, put out their, their homes, their money, et cetera. i think it will run out at some point. i mean, logically and reasonably, i don't know how long, maybe weeks, maybe months. it also depends very much about like from the, you know, that we're going to get from the west, from the european union, from the, you know, central government systemic solutions, etc. how many of those are fleeing a women and children concerns growling about how to, how to protect them all from becoming victims of human trafficking. julian wolf has a story here in the media border between poland and ukraine. former members of an elite french military force are helping to protect refugees who may be unaware that war isn't the only thing there. fleeing from this morning we felt free, free man that was trying to to get a bunch of woman into a van. i cannot 100 percent say that they were trying to recruit them for 6

trafficking. but when we started talking to them, when we approached them, they got nervous and they just left immediately. so we just said we were just here to help many ukrainian refugees reaching border countries seem to reunite with friends or family members across europe via or after 5 day car journey from the bomb city of sure. and he arena, seek shelter on the surround border between romania and ukraine. she is waiting on a friend and berlin to arrange housing for her and her 2 children, while her husband and parents stay behind, help offer by strangers who greet her and other refugees is abundant. but so are the risks. there are many very dangerous propositions from la different people. busy they can offer, ah, us help for free to read, share any country,

but it's not true. along this border town, men offering free rides to women, have been sent away, playing clothes intelligence officers are on the lookout for criminal activity, and law enforcement teams are advising women, arriving at the borders on how to stay safe. we try to discuss with the every couple for example, coming from ukraine, especially a woman and the young girls to have were some preventive measures like, or i have a food charge pottery, or to remember every time the number of the carla were there were going in a recent report by the year in commission estimates annual global profit from human trafficking is around $32000000000.00. sexual exploitation is most common in the 27 nation block with nearly 3 quarters of all victims, female and almost every 4th, the child and in humanitarian crises like these, those numbers go up, the reefs were happening very high. so it sounds like this when people mobilize

what the reason we're either the bogus every the lies under bean, this families i is very high. the challenge now was borders had been crossed, is to see safe and alert until they reached their destination. ah, in wolf algebra, russian billionaire, roman abramivitch, has now been disqualified as a director of english premier league football club. chelsea. it's the latest action against abramivitch after he was sanctioned by the u. k. government, because of the russian invasion of ukraine. premier league says it's decision won't affect the club's ability to train and play fixtures. about rich had announced last week that he was planning to sell the club. that sale is now on hold. and italy is financial police have seized a yas armed by russian oligarch, andre managed shinkel. it's after the european union named him as a member of vladimir persons at close is circle and placed him on its sanctions

list. now near chance your owns a major chemical and fossil fuel companies. the seized soupy art is valued at almost $600000000.00. and the war is threatening to send food prices soaring across parts of the middle east and north africa. any countries they rely heavily on wheat and ports, and he has more. 11000 tons of wheat arrived in lebanon this week, but this will be the last shipment from ukraine, the world's key, wheat producers, russia and ukraine are at war, lebanon, like other countries in the middle east and north africa can no longer rely on them for most of their imports, they're now trying to make up for an expected shortage beyond the beyond the other, we've reached out to a number of countries including the us, india, canada, and some european countries which produce the soft we need for our bread. but the

problem is not just finding alternative sources, diversifying supplies could mean transportation delays or an increase in shipping costs. we prices have already hit a 14 year high. i got the word, she gone differently. we will resort to more expensive countries that export weight, which would sell to us at prices that are not as cheap as in russia and ukraine. so if the conflict is prolonged and supply is less, this will lead pressure on balance of payments or the budget abuto. egypt, for example, is one of the largest importers of weight in the world, and 80 percent of its supply is from ukraine and russia. it is considering raising the price of bread for the 1st time in $3.00 decades. it's no different in lebanon, where authorities warn the central bank may not be able to subsidize bread. if prices continue to rise. the tunisian government, which is believed to be running out of money, has been rationing flower and reduced bread production increase in prices will

affect millions of people in the middle east and north africa who live in poverty. i'll have a lot of money i have a grainy russian war will affect import, export, and trade. because we are all importers of weeds. and most of the food stops, are from abroad on m assorted. across this region, economies have been hit by inflation and large public depth. others have been destroyed by war, syria no longer produces enough. we to feed its population. so it relies on imports and it's now rationing wheat. the world food program says 12000000 syrians are food insecure, while yemen is on the brink of 7 gammon, for example, were 16000000 people require food assistance and the world food program is assisting 13000000 of them. this country is almost entirely dependent on food importance and dependent on import of wheat from russia, from ukraine, sorry, by about 30 percent. so any shock,

any slight shock would actually send these countries into a very, very serious food crisis. food prices are after highest level, so is poverty in a region already in turmoil, and where higher bread prices have led to popular anger. in the past, santa hood, their elders, either a quick check of some other news now at least sixty's, even dave, after a freight train derailed in the democratic republic of congo, it was traveling between 2 villages and the south of the country before several carriages came off the tracks and crashed into a ravine local official se bodies are still trapped under the rubble. chili has a new president scabbard. burridge is a former student leader, has promised a more inclusive society. one of the regions most socially unequal countries, his style and his cabinet, which has more women than men, has made him a leader of what many calling the new left receive. newman reports from santiago 36 year old gabrielle bought each entered the senate hall without

a ty. just one way of showing he's not changed since he was a shaggy haired student leader fighting for social justice. now a decade later, he's heading country with other former student leaders. there a new generation promising to overhaul an economic model that has contributed to deep social inequalities. oh, thousands of support who swarmed the plaza in front of the presidential powers, hoping to see and touch their new president. when a really tough young, this is like a dream come true to the him after so many years of waiting for i like birds, a slogan that hope can overcome fear. chili's youngest president cautions that the social transformations needed in health. education and pensions will take time. bama, lynn, what give i'm a little will goes low because we're going far. these government will not be the end of the march. it will be a long, difficult road. but today,

the dreams of millions of people are pushing us forward. you know what it says, his government will champion the environment and indigenous and women's rights. some are concerned that president body to maybe to radical to far left, especially since the communist party makes up part of his governing coalition. but in actual fact, if you look at his program, he seems much more like a social democrat in countries like, for example, scandinavia, where social equality is taken for granted money absent from the inauguration with the leaders of venezuela and nicaragua. not invited. instead, what each invited opponents of those he deems autocrat bed. okay. en route for. and i hope that julian's help him to carry out a program for a different type of site that we will race hopes on our continents. so punished by so many dictates, or she could order washington's envoy of goods statements in defense of human

rights for world law. i've been incredibly positive. what is news that much of the world and especially latin america are focused on how well he can make good on his promise to create a more inclusive chilly without population or sacrificing democracy? you see in human al jazeera santiago, ah, there are these little stories. ukraine's capital has been rocks by explosions and gunfire is fighting intensifiers on outskirts. an air base just outside keys has been destroyed. russian ground forces amassed 25 kilometers from the center of the city. grant president of alarm as zalinski is calling for help from world leaders to secure the release of the totals mer.
