where there are reports of looting and starvation as well and fierce fighting in the southern city of mich alive, with russian forces eyeing near by odessa, their pricing for an attack there as well. and with millions of women and children, flane ukraine, there are concerns about human trafficking for bring your special report on that and is for liverpool have moved within 3 points of league leaders. so manchester city mohammed sila, helping his teams with to know when overpriced. just come 5 pm to saturday in ukraine where there's been another day of air strikes and artillery attacks as russian forces move ever closer to the capital, keith. but there is fighting right across the country over the course of this news that we will take you to the key locations. start with our main map, the big map of ukraine, all the areas in red, where russia has been expanding its a soles. as you see a lot of movement from the north,

from the south as well. we rush or of course already had a foothold in crimea. the west still largely untouched, but you will see later in the hour, there are concerns about russian advances there as well. let's start with this report from home, involve looms of smoke and blazing fire at an oil putting fossil keith about 40 kilometers south west of kiff, ukrainian media say the fire is the result of a rush. and else, like the ukrainian capital itself, has spent another night on the heavy artillery bombardment. as the rushing push to reach the city intensifies, satellite imagery shows a 60 kilometer column of russian tanks breaking away in different directions in an attempt to circle the capital. kiev is already besieged from the north, the east and the west. no russian army is plain to complete the circle from the south. it is believed ground troops ah 25 kilometers away from the half of the

capital. we're going to throw it away on the wrong coil. on the morning of march 12 high precision, long range weapons attacked ukraine's military infrastructure, including the military airfield in vessel cars, and the main center of radio and electronic intelligence of the ukrainian armed forces in bravo. cory, in total, during the operation, $3491.00 objects of the military infrastructure of ukraine were disabled. the impact is visible across ukraine, including here in the east and town of volunteer. voc wasn't, did you look we were sitting in basement and they were walking around everywhere, shooting. we couldn't leave the basement for over a day. then i walked up to a soldier and i said boys, my mom is bedridden up there. she's a grandma and i can't go up there. the guys wanted to help me bring her down into the basement. but when we went up there she had already died. it was already too late. residential areas in give and mario, paul ly. andrew wind,

rush and onslaught has also intensified in north and east. some southern ukraine bring in more death and destruction to populated cities that have been several attempts to cease fire. while the human exodus within and out of ukraine continues so horny today, march 12 2022. we announce the opening of the next few monetary cardoso. i very much hope that it will be a good day. all the time. routes will be open and russia will abide by the commitments to cease fire guarantees. i will inform during the day about the results for humanitarian views. these videos published by the head of the police region, the state administration, alexander startles on his official telegram channel, seemed to show the progress of a column of buses and red cross vehicles. on their way to your party from is up patricia on saturday. at least 1000000 ukrainians have been eternally displaced by

the war. while more than 2500000. happy forced to leave the country. how much fun? i'm just here. so let's begin our live coverage. jonah hall is in movies this saturday. hi jonah. i mean, you can't really focus on any one area at the moment because the fighting is just right across the country. yeah, you know, leaving aside the encroaching, rushing forces, the dispersal of that massive column that we've heard move out, talking about the heading in the direction or at least making some gains on the capital key of this been activity across a whole range of other front lines as well, mostly in circle cities like hockey in the east to seen renewed attacks, the local emergency services. they're describing finding 5 bodies in the rubble of a residential building after a tax. overnight 2 of them children re renewed

a tax of course on murray. a fall that i took a delighted besieged city in the south city of over 400000 people that's been bombarded and blockaded for a full 12 days. neither the local mess is the civilian death toll a load in that city exceeds $1500.00 on the news that mos came under attack. in the early i was the saturday morning, apparently a mosque sheltering some 80 people including turkey citizens. we haven't had any specific reports about casualties, they're moving to the sort of central east and city of denise for that. so it's 1st attacks on friday, it had been a sort of relatively safe haven and a point to which evacuation were making their way to safety. 3 massage landed there on friday. renewed attacks on saturday said to have been repelled by the cities defenses, and again, probes on the defenses around mc alive the strategic ship building city on the black sea to the west of crimea. the russians have been probing. the ukrainian

defense is there for days now. if they can get through mc alive, that opens a route for them at potentially to desa. an interesting development in many top full that we've been hearing about the capture of the mayor of many top on friday by 10 russian apparently, russian men. he was taken away with a bag over his head, this sort of delicate standoff that exists in some of these black sea towns between russian forces on the ground and still functioning local administration services. the lensky particularly upset about that calling on world leaders to prevail on president putin, to return the mayor of melli topple. and indeed, at present in mac, on a france and a chancellor show of germany had 75 minutes phone call this afternoon with president putin discussing perhaps, among other things that micron asked for a cease fire. the russians clearly not obliged. and one final interesting line to bring you from the town of song, again, one of those little black see towns, the local deputy, the deputy leader. the local council of pardon has told reuters that the russians

in his town are planning to hold a referendum, a pseudo referendum. he said to try and decide whether they wanted to turn that into a new break away separatist republic. remember in 2014, when rushing back forces swept into done that's going to guns provinces, took ground there. they held these referendum and claimed that there was a majority of opinion among the rush speakers that wanted to be separated from ukraine enjoined more closely at russia. it may be that russia now is trying to concrete, these gains on the black sea coast, perhaps by this very means jonah. any further. busy word on humanitarian car, it was because i think certainly for the people in the ukraine that's probably the one little glimmer of hope that god at the moment continues to be. i think throughout this week a little glimmer of hope out of several war ravaged centers and again on fire. on saturday morning, the deputy prime minister random shook has been delivering details daily on these

corridors, said the corridors for once again, open from sumi and a bunch of these suburban centers to the north of the west of kiev. and we hear that that has been ongoing without verification or verifiable numbers, but all together the ukrainian side say they've got something like 487000 civilians out of these embattled centers this week, including a 100000 children. mary paul of course, the sort of one dreadful exception to all of this bombing and shell fall continues on that city on the black sea people living in absolutely dreadful conditions inside that city blockaded for 12 days now conditions the mayor there describes as medieval people fighting over food running short of water and basic medical supplies. and the latest we hear is that an 8 convoy trying to make its way into mary paul. today was once again frustrated because of ongoing chauffeur comprehensive update there from jonah hall of what's happening right across ukraine

. thank you, jonah. okay, we've moved over here to look at some map so we can take you right through the various hot spots around the country. all eyes really though, on what's happening in and around the capitol cave will show you now exactly where russia's forces are and how they are advancing. he see at how close they are. as we come in there on the capital, coming in from pretty much all sides. bar the south are present in several areas outside of to even now edging closer towards the outskirts of that capital city. moving from the east and the west snout. step varsity is there for us. will speak to her in a moment. michelle, you her report though, 1st on a city, fortified by ukrainians, determined to kate, the russian forces at duncan, behind a barricade, the preparing for the worst keep has turned into a fortress and everyone has joined the fight. men, which as 2 weeks ago said an officer's work as builders, and now defending their country's capital people for you re mullins king. this war

has become very personal. his youngest brother was killed by russian rockets just 3 days ago. because now or don't i recognize my brother only from his coast. there was no other way of recognizing him. a former air force officer, he left his job as a truck driver in the netherlands to fight against the russians. dark barbara bar knew we were here guys. you never went to war, who never fired his shot, who never even heard the sound of a rifle. but we're all ready. trust me. my morale has never been his high. and i've never been this ready for here. and this is what is moving towards them less than 15 kilometers away. these images show the russian column that was around 60 kilometers long, has this birth around the capital. possibly preparing for fool out attack soon. we can hear the sound of shelling coming closer to the city. putting the capitals defense on its highest alert with russian force is coming closer. tensions are

going up by the hour, by the civil defender of a confident they'll stop them. a battle for the future ask if the main target input in for those who remain in the city are bracing themselves for his bombs and missiles. the threat of more death and destruction has brought people to gather. alina kimbler helps the elderly and sick, who can't leave the apartments to get food, or simply to afraid to go out 95 year old alice of each nor where seen more than the la floor in her life. should jim, would you, could you check what is the point for me to leave it age? especially if you see how i walk. i had 2 surgeries, i broke my hip. i have not been to the street for 10 years. my niece wanted to take me for a walk, but i told them i want to die and my bed just to clear. we have shelter down. she

can go and like if it will be some warm so i could, she can't even live sure, apartment. so maybe people who can walk, at least with all them, you can use call downstair, you can go to the shelter. but about her, i don't know alina can decide if she should leave keith with her 8 month old daughter, and go on along an unpredictable journey. but the constant challenge and silence, i'm making her very nervous. she can only hope the ukrainian defense will hold the boil, or when the battle begins, will be afraid that i know that fear will crumble very quickly. they are fighting for their land, their country, and most of all for their lives and those of their children. and grandchildren. so that report from set fosten in t fan, we can talk to her live. now i step up since then. great report by the way, since then i know you've been to a news conference held by president zalinski. tell us about that. well, i have to say that was quite an extraordinary experience while the capital is seriously

under fire, under attack right now to go and meet the president for more than an hour with a couple of fur journalists. and we were brought there very in a high security environment, as you can imagine now we are not allowed to take our car or phone or any other stuff for the security. people from the president took us to a very heavily barricaded presidential office. and then he appeared to after 2 weeks looking tired, but still really nuts. defeated. he was very much defiant. he was very critical about europe. he has been that in the past, he basically is compared to european leaders to people sitting in their cafes and restaurants waiting until the bumps would fall on their hat. meanwhile, he says ukraine is fighting for european value. so he was very critical also about the no fly zone that still has now been imposed or implemented. he said it was

a long discussion with european leaders. he said they gave all kinds of solutions may be anti missile defense. because of course, we know that a lot of destruction by the us, you are sion forces has come from the sky. so he was very frustrated about the lack of progress on that front. and let's have a listen to what else he had to say. children's hospitals, maternity wards, residential areas. they seem 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. just asleep and day regarding the children and the beautiful mothers and what happened to them. how can any normal person react to this? well, it's simply inactive 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. and i

didn't want to be used to what will happen next to nobody knows president the landscape. they're a little bit earlier step. it must be incredibly ominous. and keep at the moment just behind you. it's deserted. it's quiet, but the knowledge that there are russian forces advancing pretty much from all over it is quiet, but it's also not quiet because at the same time there is continuous shelling artillery fire. we can hear explosions in the distance and increasingly so we had this a fight going on for the capital in the north west. there's a bridge, deer, cities like air pin boot child war. so the russian forces have entered some of the cities already. they're basically occupying them, but in it been, they're still seriously happy fighting a going on ukrainian forces really trying hard to defend the capital. but we also

know that it's very difficult that some have already broken through and also in the north east they're approaching. and also in the last half day or so from the south, or there was this sir, air bombardment on the air base. sir, that's situated there, full p for $44.00, and there is a lot of destruction. 8 rockets hit that air base. it was a lot of ammunition stored there. that's exploding. so yes, the uncircumcised of the capitol, it's getting closer and closer. now by the hour and is a lot of concern is lansky also sat there trying to get to the historic heart and destroy it. and he also said, let them come. he won't, they won't find any friends here. said boston and the tame air in keith. first, this saturday, thank you. step. now on friday, russian forces attack cities in western and central ukraine that were once considered relatively safe. for people fleeing to fighting correspondent natasha butler has more from the city of the western city of looks. what is church

in the north western city all floats is taking in people from across the country. they can come here for some food. they can get some 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 it, when, if she was a brilliant homeowner door, they took everything from me. i had a comfortable house, cold kids had their own room. now where will i go when us and what will i do at the last moment? i'll have to start from scratch. you thought, but i'm not 20, i'm 41. sure, yes, you will lose guess just over a 100 kilometers a from the border with bella ross and some ukranian. officials say that perhaps troops from bellows could come over the border and fight alongside russian 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. and i feel just north of this city. one of the 1st major attacks on western ukraine since the invasion began. okay, we talked about mario, paul, before you remember jonah hall was talking about a people in that east in port city have been besieged for 12 days. now. russian forces have surrounded the city from all sides. partially because they could come up from crimea anyway, which of course, crimea was already held by russia as mary paul over there, the situation for the 400000 residents there is getting worse every day. the city council says nearly 1600 civilians have been killed by russians shelling the temperature. let's think about some other factors at night time. it drops to minus 7 degrees celsius. people are without heating. they are without power and food as

they have been for days. and there are now reports of looting and violence. we're going to talk about this with jason strategies. so who is the media team leader at the i c r c, the international committee of the red cross. he's with us from geneva. and jason, we thank you for your time. we focus a lot on the shelling on the war side of things. but the reality is, i just outline there is no food, no power, no heating. it's a population slowly being sort of throttled almost. that's an excellent summary on your part. on the one hand, you do have the, the deadliness of the conflict, and people have to stay inside and protect themselves and avoid that. and now on the other side, we're reaching a situation where adjectives just need to keep getting worse and worse, it's catastrophic apocalyptic. we're removing into a situation where people aren't going to have water, and it's not just an organization raising the alarm. but in this case,

there are thousands and thousands of families trapped in the city who are running out of water. and then at that point what you do even our team, the international, pretty red cross team that is in mario poll. they've effectively run out of water and they're telling us ok, now we go to a stream and collect water, we boil it, we drink it. well, how do tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people do that, especially if you're elderly, especially if you're sick and to go out and collect water in the middle of an active combat zone, is why they remove worst case scenarios. jason, can anyone do anything and by any way, i guess i'm talking more about agencies and the light because with this level of intensity of fighting, i'm guessing there's really no opportunity to get any aid and support into people. it can't be done with this level of violence,

your own report reference an attempt to bring assistance in. in the past days, your viewers will remember there have been attempts to open monitoring quarter corridors. it's too dangerous to get it done right now. we at the international committee, the red cross, we're speaking a very high political level with the sides in this conflict, urging them pleading with them for a concrete, detailed agreement, humanitarian agreement to save, potentially tens of thousands of lives. and that's what we're urging. that's what we're working on, and that's what we're trying to achieve. does anyone, this is such a weird way to say this, but does anyone get back to you when you raise these issues and you say we need to actually do something? do you hear back in the middle of a war effectively though i, serious, he does have this privileged position as a neutral intermediary, a very valuable position for conflict around the world. so the answer your question

is, yes. there are conversations that are taking place. we're not, we're not talking to a stone wall. and now it's just an issue of making the progress that we want to see . of course, you or your viewers might be familiar with the approach we take. we take the bilateral one on one confidential approach. so there are more details to sharon that other than to say we are urging this to happen. those conversations are taking place. thank you. jason says you. so it's from the international committee of the red cross. thank you for that. appreciate it. thank you. let's head further south now as ukrainian forces battle russian troops on so many france, russia already in control. again, you heard john talk about a little bit earlier, the city of her son after seizing it last week. you've also got heavy fighting around mc alive a little bit further north. that's kind of a stepping stone, if you like, for russian troops who are pushing ever closer to odessa nother port city on the

black sea coast. people have been using sandbags there to try to fortify odessa against a possible attack. it is still under ukrainian control. it has been spared any the fighting so far, but as a major port city many think it's only a matter of time before russia launch, as a major assault by land or by sea. hannah schloss with us now security studies program director at ukrainian prison, which is a foreign policy and security think tank. and she is in odessa. nice to talk to you again hannah, i guess, and we were just showing it on the map there. the strategic importance. if the russian forces move through to odessa, that creates that line, doesn't it? from a landscape and in the, in the east, through to trans mystery in the west, it can effectively cut off ukraine from the black sea. yes, that's exactly one of the ideas that the russian racial would like to have because to cut your brain from the cause to man to product also from an expert med capable,

it's used and the chief blog all sure to have what you ordered on the controlling the black, well we're asked, so now it's not too also visible because even without any type of history, suppose operation, you 1st need to take the full control problem, crimea kilo desktops and we see that even in your song, the russian iteration is not able to establish the control asked when people are coming daily to the demonstration and the internal, the mass resistance, it's quite a talk as for now was the physically, you need to control approximately 400 kilometer soon from the map or the small part . but a problem with your phone, so that said approximately 215 kilometers, plus the geography is not so favorable in terms of russia and from turns needs to be adopted. new, just 50 kilometers from old history. and somebody is afraid that the rational

forces functions me tricks attacks, but you need to understand that what they have there it is 1500 of not very well motivated soldiers because many of them local to a nice and almost absence of the have your wife and what they have is very outdated because since 2014, they were not able to have any military supply to the course of instruct me. how is the city of odessa, how the people of odessa preparing? they have this knowledge that russian forces could be there at any moment, almost tell us about the preparations. the preparation not happening from the very 1st day, all the invasion, but some of them started even earlier. our mayor is the, for my military officer. so he has quite a good big round for such a crisis situation. and he started approximately a week before invasion when we saw this military build up the preparations of the shelters to the conversations with the supermarket, the big food network. so to have a supply in the cakes to avoid any shortage,

it's also the preparation of the territorial defense a lot on the picture that you've been showing of the sand bags around the historical cultural building. but also the mining of all b choose along with c t, and we are talking about probably 40 kilometers of the mining that they chose to prevent the landing operation from the heat. we also have the navy because the station and got stuck on the high alerts and the delivery is very well prepared. and we hear each morning the shelling stephanie tripe, but it's nothing that charging the the earth responses, catching bob just above. ringback he level but also we have the all the surrounding of the seo, the main road. being prepared with the blocks with the special instructions to, to limit maneuvers of the russian land operation. how much less it's always good to

talk to you and hear what is happening there in odessa. i'm sure we'll talk to you again soon. thank you. now, one more place we want to look at, and that is the pro, in ukraine's se that is come under attack on friday as strikes it close to a kindergarten and apartment building. what i do have to send us this report. it was 5 55 in the morning and much of the need for was asleep only to be walk into this one of 3 explosions that rock the city. caught on surveillance camera. oksana didn't hear the air raid sirens, but the force of the blast shattered the windows and her ceiling collapsed. she lives on the 4th floor of an apartment block facing a shoe factory, an apparent target of russian missiles. we didn't expect anything in neat pro. there are no military facilities around the russians were saying that they would

only target military infrastructure here. there are only residential blocks. the school and the kindergarten windows were het view realty says the rockets will launch from the next region, interrogation, controlled by the russian back separatist. this is the 1st time this city has been targeted since the beginning of the war. now that will have a huge impact because so far me pro has been a transit point for people fleeing other areas in eastern ukraine that were under heavy bombardment. the immediate impact long queues outside the train station. people standing for hours in sub 0 temperature patiently waiting to escape. despite the fear of another attack. catch it the decision to pack up and leave as soon as you heard early morning explosions from a phone has been dead. you know, it's a nightmare. nato is not doing enough. they should close the sky. they should do

more. when the of those standing here had fled the horrors of war once before, their home towns already destroyed. now seeking safe refuge again. irina and her 2 children drove out of how to keep after rushing jet fighters flew over her neighbourhood for days and the shelling became closer and louder. this conflict has torn her family apart. listen again, just as opposed to lensky won't do what russia expects from him, so we don't know what awaits us. of course, ukraine will not compromise. my son also says, no, we were living in hell in hockey for a week. and now we hate russia. well, there we have many relatives there. many of those leaving will joined if 2500000 refugees that have already crossed into neighboring countries. while those thing, wonder what's next. and at that i mean al jazeera linear pro. our coverage continues on the news, our in just

a moment as the leaders of france and germany call on vladimir putin to declare a cease fire. will that please make any difference. we'll also have other news and sport is a special moment comes in the country as a 1st for this australian cricketer, andy, as the details of the latest. ah ah hallo, we've had something of a heat wave here in the middle east. recently seen c laws to clear skies across southern parts of the arabian peninsula to the south of that, that's where the heat really has been on friday, off known in doha temp. just touch 40 degrees celsius. unconfirmed reports of temperatures in the u. e. e getting as high as 42 degrees over the next day or so that temperature will ease, but it should be about 27 celsius this time of the year. so we are still on the warm side of that hate further north. that's why i spend a lot cooler,

a little unsettled as well. some cloud and rain on sunday, coming in across the rock, q 8, northern parts of iran, bits and pieces of shabby rain i, which was a levant here. we're still struggling to get into wet double figures and some snow there once again into turkey, similar pitch as we go on into monday to that west or whether we have across that eastern side of the met him. right. and we'll so laugh on to the shoals of northern egypt, pushing across the northern parts of africa. by the way across into the far north of morocco, thick dust haze continuing just around us a hell pushing into northern parts of nigeria. heavy shallow, sad, just rolling in across the gulf of guinea. may wallace showers will continue right across the heart of africa, and we have the risk of flooding from aero tropical side for good part of mozambique. ah! the highlanders bonnie headlong trenton touring visitors come here for the cool

ah, deal with al jazeera, continuing coverage of the war in ukraine. the capital city key has been hit by explosions and gunfire, while fighting intensifies on the outskirts. an air base just outside cape was destroyed. brushing forces just 25 kilometers now from the center of the city. mario pulse city council says almost 1600 civilians have been killed in russian shelling the cities been on the sage for 12 days. they are on our reports of looting as well as trapped residence, fight over supplies of food and water, and 2 and a half 1000000. refugees, all off of now left ukraine, putting pressure on neighboring european nations. morsels mail says refugees make up 10 percent of the polish capitals population. and accommodation is running outs

. protest is in the city of many temple demanding the release of their mayor. your current government has put out security camera video, which it says chosen being abducted by russian soldiers. fenton monahan has the full story. military people is firmly under russian controls, but people aren't afraid to stand up with a new authority. they're demanding the immediate release of the city mer. even federal hasn't been seen since thursday. ukrainian government says this video shows federal being led away with a bag over his head, escorted by 10 russian soldiers present. bodamer zelinski once were leaders to put more pressure on russia to secure his release. he sees it as a test of the international community, the ability to change the situation in ukraine or more pasta. ryan is we demand the mabee immediately released. we're talking to france, germany,

israel and others. i personally have called german chancellor schultz and french president macro. i'll talk to everybody necessary in order to get people released. we expect world leaders to show how they can influence the situation and do one simple thing. get this one person released, the very person represent the people of the litter paul, ukrainians are calling federal abduction. a war crime saying international law prohibits taking civilian hostages during a war. miller topple was one of the 1st cities to fall to russia. federal lead several rallies against the invasion. some attended by thousands of people. well, federal may now be detained. the protest he started looked likely to continue. denton monson al jazeera diplomatic side of things, the leaders of france and germany have urged vladimir putin to declare a ceasefire and ukraine. that joint phone call with the russian president lost a more than an hour. we'll get some details with not in bob. in london. i it's good

that they're talking, i guess, but as anything coming out of it come out, nothing of substance. this was the 2nd phone call between the german and french leaders and president putin. in recent days, they spoke on the phone on thursday as well. after saturdays call for the year, the are their offices said that they weren't going to really reveal anything about the court beyond the fact that they did that. it was part of ongoing efforts to end the war and ukraine, very bland statement. but now we're hearing from the ellie's a palace, the french presidency, the term, the term sholtes and macro urged putin. the or told him rather that the destruction by russian forces had to end. and they said that, that, that must be a ceasefire. as a can tish as a condition for structured negotiations,

international negotiations. let's not forget the, the russian government and the government of ukraine's president zalinski a still talking in recent days. they've been communicating via video link, and in fact, you heard president zalinski, they're saying that he's talked to the german and french leaders. well, president putin updated them on those talks. again, nothing to show from them and the kremlin, as really pushed back after the phone call a few hours ago, saying that president putin told sholtes. and my call about what he called the real state of affairs, with a list of allegations against ukraine's armed forces, saying that they were involved in extra judicial executions of dissenters taking hostages, using civilians as human shields and so on. and not surprisingly, there has been a denunciation of those comments from both paris and berlin. that just shows you

how much bad will varies right now and how little scope there is for some kind of a breakthrough and the bad job. all of this, of course, is desperate calls from within ukraine for those humanitarian corridors to actually work in many areas, civilians coming under fire when they are trying to flee their homes. so it's really bad news in terms of some hopes of a breakthrough. thank you, that in barbara with that update from london, italy's financial police have seized a yacht owned by the russian businessman andre mill, the jenko missus after the european union named him as a member of vladimir putin in a circle and put them on its sanctions list in the junker owns major chemical and fossil fuel companies. the seized vessel is a 143 meters, super yacht valued at nearly $600000000.00 their arm. we've said this already 2 and a half 1000000, ukrainian refugees now,

but the important thing there's that more than half of them are children and several neighboring countries of opened their doors to them. the busiest crossings, slovakia, hungary, poland, were more than one and a half 1000000 people have left ukraine as the conflict entered the 17th day, moldova, as well as seen an influx of ukrainians more than a 100000 of their now. and germany has that to taken 2 and a half 1000 ukraine. refugees as well. the foreign minister, annie, lena bear box, says the you are setting up a green corridor to bring people by bus through romania in these are, if you are a few in this situation, europe in my cantier showing solidarity. that's right together with the german interior minister. i agreed that as the 1st that we could bring 2500 of cranial refugees directly to us. from aldo, it is clear, this can only be a styles, but it should be above all estates for us, together with other countries, not only in the european union,

but to it either countries were to the right to support your country and your people in order to help the cranium many those fleeing are women and children and it's jillian wolf reports. now there are concerns also growing about how to protect people from human traffickers. here on the medical 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 men that was trying to, to get the bunch of woman into a van. i cannot 100 percent say that they were trying to recruit them for sex trafficking. but when we started talking to them, when recent approach them, they got nervous and they just left immediately. so we just said we were just here to help many ukrainian refugees reaching border country, seek to re unite with friends or family members across europe. every hall, after

it's trade with iran. and drake, after that, while people were discussing, whether this going to affect any potential deal or delete any collateral, not. we have heard that the u. s. c has ceased to iranian oil, cargo ships, and iranian side that this is not a good wheel and it potentially called duper dice to deal at the export here when you're talking to them to run next versus that. russia wants to keep you run out of the global oil market, particularly when there are that much global sanctions over russia regarding it. we're at one on, on you green. so those are not collapsing, but we can see that they are into think they got into a very delicate, delicate face. so irregular side here, they are seen that wasn't demand shouldn't be exec, affecting the deal because the external factors are not important here. this is a deal between, between iran and regarding parties,

and they are mostly putting the blame on the u. s. i see that the u. s. is not serious. seeing that the u. s. c is not going through its obligations. and also, when we talk to the experts here, the seat, you reynolds, are cautious regarding the worthington statement because they do not want a job for those days. they have strategic relations with, with russia as well, in case of put in blame, putting a blame on russia that could affect the relations, went with russia. so you run here once the main tracks your 1st, they want all the removal of all the sections regarding nuclear deal and non nuclear the issues including the missile program and also the human rights violations as well. they also wants to verification verification. they mean that the guarantee is not to be given and written on the on paper, but also they want to see the practical implementation of them are on the ground as well. and also they're asking us to give the guarantee to run in case of a deal that this, the a will go beyond bygone and solution and it's going to be binding for the next

administration as well. all the technical talks, the form of talks are done, but for now, as did delegations or did represent is or back to the capitals, people and extra are waiting the capitals to make the final political decision at the chance of a deal based on my thoughts to the sources, this is 5050. thank you. wrestle soda in tara. the 60 people are dead after a freight train derailed in democratic republic of congo was traveling between 2 villages and the southern province of lava. for several carriages came off the tracks and crashed into a ravine. local officials say bodies are still trapped underneath. unicef says the number of children killed in war torn yemen is continuing to rise. the you ins, children's agency says nearly 50 children were reported, killed or injured in just the 1st 2 months of 2022 and assessed as more than 10200 children have been verified as
