9:04 pm
impact of the multi pronged offensive is visible everywhere, including here in the eastern town of nevada. what did you look? we were sitting in basements 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 that 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. the lashing on slot has also intensified in north east, some southern ukraine bring in more death and destruction to populated cities. there have been several attempts at a cease fire while the human exodus within and out of ukraine continues. subordinate to day march 12th 2022, we announce the opening of the next few monetary, colorado se,

9:06 pm
there, and there's a lot happening, and it's happening all over the country. can you sort of take us up to date with the biggest developments, particularly things to do with the humanitarian corridors. they've been opened. they've been functioning in some places as well, pointed out there in his report, the sumi corridor continues to function and has been pretty successful this week. but unfortunately, reports suggest that these corridors have not been functioning without incident news. reaching us in the last half hour comes from the defense intelligence agency of ukraine, talking about one of the so called green corridors out of the sort of suburban centers around the north, north west of the capital kia within about 2530 kilometers of the capital this particular one at the place of village called period ma got to the north east of the capital. and this report suggests that a convoy that had been approaching the capital from p remote, ga,
9:07 pm
consisting exclusively, it says of women and children was fired upon by russian forces. 7 people are said to have been killed in that attack, including one child. and then after that attack, according to this report, the convoy was turned around by the russian soldiers and sent back to the remote gar. so that's slightly alarming maria poll. the other element of this evacuation that very much is not going according to plan. they've not managed, frankly, since this whole evacuation program started last saturday to open a safe quarter door of any lasting effect out of mary poll. and those buses and trucks making their way into the capitol into my report rather this afternoon with food and medical supplies, empty buses that they would have hope to fill with people in murray, poland, take back his upper region, didn't make it into the cap, into the city because of continued shell far and you know,
9:08 pm
conditions inside variable described by the mayor as medieval. hundreds of thousands of people who've been bombarded for 12 days blockaded entirely for 12 days now. running out of food and medical supplies that been cut off from heated water. a pretty appalling state of affairs inside mario pole. and then moving down to the south milles helpful. that's been the focus of activity this afternoon. angry protests, 2000 people or more taking to the streets of the center of many top all after their mayor was abducted on friday by russian troops. 10 of them went into the city council building, put a bag over his head and marched him away. president lansky says even fair door of the mayor's name is alive, but he's apparently being tortured. and mr. ski appealed to international leaders who be talking to president putin today to apply their influence to try and get him to secure the release of the math. and then also down on the south southern black
9:09 pm
sea coast in the city of san as soon as a port city, it was the 1st city of any significant sized to fall under russian control. you may recall reports coming out of the song from the deputy head of the local council. they are saying that the russian horses occupying the city and attend sort of stand off with the still functioning local council are planning to hold a referendum. he called it a seas pseudo referendum in a hope of trying to put the sort of veneer of public approval to the idea of setting cash on opposite the independent republic. and this is the sort of thing they did in 201415 when rushing back separatists took control of those regions in the east. they held a referendum. they claimed a majority mandate among russian speakers to separate essentially from ukraine. and it looks like this potentially could be a tactic now by the russians to try and cement these games that they are making in the south along the black sea coast, a land, colorado, that they very much would like to bridge build and not seed in future negotiations
9:10 pm
between crimea and the east and onto the russian border. thank you jona, how so many developments joan are right across all of those 3 ukraine. he's in the b so let's start moving around the country. a lot of eyes on the capital cave. obviously, that's bring up our 1st map to show you exactly where russia's forces are and how they are advancing as we come into the cave. the capital, i'm sorry, cave in the north, and really the russian forces coming from all sides. but the only place they can come from is the south there, but it shows you how close they are already present in so many areas around the capital. and now edging ever closer into the outskirts of the city. let's have a look at the live shot for you in fact, of cave and it's just, it looks like that for days deserted occasionally you see a car hitting through that city square area, but otherwise it is pretty much deserted. people wait to see just how close
9:11 pm
those russian troops are going to get. well, emma con correspondent has made some people desperate to get out of here at the train station in fact, and we'll have his report just shortly. but want to start with step boston. neither of our team there, she has more than a defiant ukrainian president is about to defend the capital. the russian forces get closer. after more than 2 weeks precedence the land is still going strong. more than one our questions journalist was clear. he's frustrated about the lack of support by the west and by nato. the also says, this war will never be a when i'm the only victory for him. he said, and for your brain would be, i think, in their country. so the keel if there are hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of soldiers now being mobilized by russia. and they all come with hundreds and thousands of tanks. they will end to give. we understand this. if they bond by give and decide to destroy simply array the historical memory of this whole
9:12 pm
region, the history of clear and russell, the history of europe, they will enter live. if they destroy all of us, they will end to give that is the gold let them come or they will have to survive in this land alone. without us, they will not find friends among us. he is stored heavily guarded. the president has just left this room, but this kind of appearance is a very important not only for the ukrainian army, for the civil defense, but also for a lot of civilians who are staying behind here in care of and in the rest of the country to fight this war a desperate scramble to get on a train out of keith. but most of these people aren't residents of the capital. they've come from places like a being and butcher on the outskirts of people. places that have seen the worst of the wolf so far in this region. they sit in shocked silence. women like svetlana, still trying to understand what they've seen in those doom was home was destroyed.
9:13 pm
an explosion blew up the windows doors and everything. all the people who lived in the building ran to the base. we moved to another part of the city to find a friend's house, but the bombardments continued even there. the russian tanks kept firing at our houses. and this is walter fleeing andres, a volunteer coordinator at the central station. his job is to make sure those fleeing from outside to keep can get help. most he says show visible signs of psychological trauma or a priority now is a hot lion is air being is a voucher, is a voicemail is a gastorm and this line, okay. and are actually day out really shocked by all these things happening are they didn't expect the russian army to his civilians, to head there, to it in houses. and they never believed it. but they really honor a fire and outward sex is destroyed. it was so at houses many people's cue,
9:14 pm
the cities already 50 percent evacuated. most of those people actually left in the early days of the war. the priority now is to get people from other front lines like boucher like a pain in to keith and then into this station and get them out. in many ways keep central station has become evacuation central station tis of relief and sadness as the train leaves the station. besides what few belongings they can carry, they also carry the horrors of what they witnessed, unsure. also, when they might see their home again, whether that home will still be standing in wrong con, our desert, keep central station. okay, that's keep. now we are moving around to look at cartesian, ukraine, 2nd largest city, which has been encircled by russian forces. back to the map. let zoom in towards that area. and you can see how far the russian troops have come in around car keith . it is coming on the constant bombardment,
9:15 pm
despite efforts to set up some of those humanitarian cargoes, which john was talking about earlier. residential areas are being hit. this is crucial. emergency services are reporting the bodies of 5 people pulled from an apartment block that was struck 2 of them with children. now maria ad adieva, i'm sorry, is from kalki even has been using twitter to document what's happening to the city . look at this, i'm here on one of the main hard gives threads where i used to spend much time before the war meeting with my friends or drinking coffee in the near by confess. and now i am here to document the war crimes committed by. we didn't, and his resume here in hard give in ukraine. and i wanted to take this moment to send all of you every one of you for your enormous support. and i'm pleased to say marie is with us now research director at the european expert association. thank you for your time, maria,
9:16 pm
and it's very interesting to watch those clips of yours on twitter. you clearly feeling safe enough to actually go out there and film those, but it must be a very worrying time. yes, it is. thank you for having me. no one you can feel now, especially when you are out on the 3. so people tried to stay close to the building because that while on the street you would hear some sharon, somewhere, some, sometimes it will be in the distance sometimes quite close. so you would stay close to the buildings and always i try to a loop and to find the place where i would go at this moment. so of course you do not feel safe and the shower and continue throughout the day. and especially they intend to fight in denied and in the evening with which is very worn and the threat . and then because at the time people are sleeping and that they can be caught from
9:17 pm
somewhere when they are in their apartment in their bad and to be every morning receive report. but in not there is a dense shout areas bombarded or heated by rational ration. me file, just actually looking at some of your pictures. now. maria, as we speak, you, the devastation is absolutely astonishing. have you tried to get out at all? or what is your, what is the tell us if you want to, what your personal situation is for you and your family. so the city is not in so called russian troops are now on the east and north east of you. and they made a great non military grade job and they are now even doing counter offensive operations, pushing the russian troops or the to the russian border. so now it's more like position war on the grounds, it means that russia is not succeed, them in the, on the ground operation. and that's why they use the ation and me 5 and drop them.
9:18 pm
so it is possible to leave the free to steal from their part about it is not safe because when you are in the car you can easily become a target or one of the rational and such cases. some people were killed just moving in the car. the was the most safe way to get out. is there a way it was reported that 600000 people already left the radio base? so they were iraq yet did then the seat is almost empty. you will not see people outside because there is a left or a hide in the basement or in the shot, the or the eat, the military defense. they would be fire fighting on the grounds. i guess the problem is if you get house and you go to some way that is safety, it's safe, it's only relatively safe, isn't it unset? because you didn't know how far the russian troops will get and how quickly they'll get anyway. can become unsafe very quickly. and ukraine absolutely. because
9:19 pm
really, you know, i, i now get reports from neutral and even yvonne up on the keys to which is on the western part of your grand, that there are bombardment then people here air side. and this is why ukraine is asking our partner allies to support us to supply anti aircraft on different systems. and of course you have heard about the an old fly going above ukraine request, and that is what you need more because on the ground, our military are combatant very effectively. and be this guy that is now the most threat and then a threat. and in a position that you could afford a russian to, to use against sealants and begin the residential area in ukraine. the problem with that no fly zone memory is that the united states navy, the west,
9:20 pm
they have made it clear over and over again that they're not going to do that. and no matter how much ukraine keeps calling for it, i don't know how much it's going to change their opinions. so what, what plan b? well, you know, there was before the war started that germany, for example, refused to supply a rap on for your grand. and we were not thinking that, you know, all the major companies will at one moment go out from russia. so in the matter of time, i think we, we are now here today in the community, talk your grand discuss and the recent rash on my tv channel. this this even if they. 6 they have the program paid them and where they go this past and they will not stop on the borders of ukraine, and they think that they will not stop. but if they get control over leave and discuss where they will go further. so i think that the matter of the time and the western communities should understand that it is already so you can not provoke,
9:21 pm
provoke, put in thought that he is already in the war against everyone and all are the contrary. he is in control of bill or was rich, mean thrush and groups are now border in both dick states and ball and, and it's only a matter of time when he will decide to go there if he is not here in ukraine. ok, we'll leave maria there. i believe we've actually lost communication with her unfortunately, but maria, of the, of, of giving us that, that real eye witness view of what's happening in hockey fair. we're gonna move to matthew polt, the east in port city, which as we know it's been besieged for 12 days. now. russian forces surrounding the city pretty much from all sides. they've been able to come up from crimea where they were already in place. and from the don best region, mary pal, where those 2 matrons re, sorry, 2 regions meet and the situation for the 400000 residents is just getting worse and worse. look at us
9:22 pm
for the city council that says nearly 1600 civilians have been killed. now, in rush, shilling the temperatures as well at night, they're down to minus 7 degrees celsius and the will is no heating and power and food for days as well. perhaps no surprise. there are now reports of looting and violence as well. spoke to jason strauss hughes. so about this earlier he is with the international committee of the red cross and told us that situation in mary paul is absolutely desperate. i say he does have this privilege position as a neutral intermediary, a very valuable position for conflicts around the world. so the answer to 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 a bilateral one on one,
9:23 pm
a confidential approach. so there aren't more details to sharon that other than to say we are urging this to happen. those conversations are taking place. and for mary or public i further to the south as ukrainian forces battle russian troops on several fronts. russia already in control of fair san they're in the red zone again . i see that last week, you've got heavy fighting a little further north, around nickel live, which is a stepping stone for russian troops to push even further west and perhaps get as far as our deaths are on the black sea coast that is crucial there. strategically and the people know that they using sandbags to fortify the city against a possible attack. it is still under ukrainian control. it has been sped, any fighting so far, but it's on the black sea. it's a major port. lot of people think it's only a matter of time before rush launches, a major assault by land or see or both out there as summer, laughed from our sister, and i was your arabic who can make a life,
9:24 pm
has more of the fighting. there. the some of the know on the shell, k l, m a d n, a local residence of nikolai had a very tough not due to the massive explosions and missiles zooming across. almost all of the city neighborhoods. we are at one of the eastern suburbs of mc alive, a totally residential area with no military prisons. it was hit by a number of missiles during the night. this is a bus stop and an adjacent coffee shop which was totally destroyed with the cars parked here were also damaged. residents here told us about the horror they lived through throughout the night. they feared to leave their homes or even to stay in as the entire area was targeted. of the missiles hit a supermarket, a few blocks away. another in a school yard, a 3rd on top of one of the residential buildings. before we arrived, the civil defense managed to successfully dismantle the missile. heavy gunfire raged at the outskirts of the city. from here, the fighting fronts are about 10 kilometers away, with the military air bases,
9:25 pm
and 20 kilometers where the civil aviation airport is located before the cities man said that the russian army has changed the tactics. intensifying the shilling of residential areas. we added that the cities hospital and often age were also targeted last night and we tried to approach those buildings, but could not. the mayor explained that the russian troops began to infiltrate and hide and villages, residential areas and behind facilities such as the power plant. so that they cannot be easily targeted by the ukrainian army. he said the ukrainian force suspended the russians off and will continue to do sorry to prevent them from entering the city in amongst all of their parents. for magic efforts going on, the leaders of france, germany of urged president putin to declare a ceasefire in ukraine. the joint phone call with the russian president, not in barber, is in london following this story. i believe i spoke for more than an hour. is that an encouraging sign? nadine?
9:26 pm
well, come out. i think it's more of a sign of just how many points of discussion there are and how difficult it is to actually get her to get a heard by the other side. so am the french or president and the german chancellor talking directly on the phone with president putin or for the 2nd time in recent days they did so on thursday, asking him or demanding an immediate cease, why they did so again on saturday, saying that that has to come before any structured negotiations on ending the war in ukraine and according to the french presidential herb office, president putin showed no willingness to ends hostilities to end fighting at all. it was a very down beats assessment from paris. they've said that term, they raised her own calls on president putin to end the siege of maria paul, and also something that president zalinski ukraine had asked them to do before the
9:27 pm
direct phone call. to ask for russia of president putin to obtain the release of the mare of a multiple arm who was a, who allegedly been kidnapped in recent days in ukraine. so really no, no break through there. the french have also denounced what they called lies when president putin, in that phone call. that's because the russian president brought up claims of violations of human, of humanitarian law, by ukrainian forces, which he alleges, he says that they've been using human shields. they've been disrupting, or the movement of civilians are through humanitarian corridors and the like, there's been no basis shown for that. and the french are very angry clearly about those claims. now they're saying that term of to this phone call. brussels is now
9:28 pm
preparing more sanctions on friday. president mac haul said that there will be no taboos in terms of sanctions. if or russia intensified it. sieges and it's bombardments are on various cities in ukraine. so no, i don't think there's anything to read into the length of the phone call beyond, there was a lot of accusation on both sides. president zalinski has made it clear that he wants more in terms of concrete steps, not just solidarity or from his european allies. they're talking now about sanctions. they're not moving towards any kind of a discussion of a no flies own which has been taught, which has been demanded by ukraine or in the last 2 weeks. but clearly the, the european leaders now saying that they will go further if the war continues that in barber in london with those updates. thank you. while we're talking diplomacy,
9:29 pm
let's bring and andre bucklin of who is the vice president of the association of russian diplomats and previously served as russian ambassador to saudi arabia with us from moscow to day. mister ambassador, thank you for your time. do you agree with what leave was? and nadine was pointing out to us there that really the 2 sides are just too far apart at the moment on what they want for there to be any sort of movement as far as diplomacy goes. oh, could you repeat please her question. so i am just trying to point out how far apart the 2 sides are and are they too far apart in what they want to actually make any difference in the union of those people in keeping us at? yeah, yes or well actually it, this is a war which is or war or we have been waiting for 8 years. ah, we were trying to ask our colleagues in the west to influence that the people that
9:30 pm
took power in a 2014 a key. why could they thought, ah french, german americans, are they a sponsor of the school? they thought in 2014 retreat characterized as freshest. and the nazi that i could, i thought today we took our intelligence took very important document on the territory. or we grain that show that ah, on the 3rd through current or grain, though, approximately 30 illegal laboratories which was trying to make tests. ah 4 ah 4 a biological very well warfare it's read it's well then she
9:31 pm
and baths are i don't know if you can still hear me but we've last year. looks like you're still frozen on that link there. so you can hear me. we'll try to come back to you a little bit later and to continue our discussion. oh, actually i'm just, it's and best are you still there? yes, i'm, i'm here. yeah, i am so sorry that the skype signal froze. but we got you back now. even if everything you're saying is, is true there. the fact is, and you said this where in a war situation now, and a country is being destroyed and civilians, innocent people are being killed and a refugee situation is being created. that's not good for any one. shouldn't there be some efforts to alleviate that? yes, so we are trying to, we are making cora doris, but unfortunately, the school system is not working. i will split in white. a. you said that i am on
9:32 pm
bus that are not the only ambassador i was. i, for 20 years, i was leaving a new claim and i have been my own source is to open formation form. okay. and so what's, what's going on ah, the majority approximately 80 percent. all those for citizens that are pearls and saw in the in circle cities, they would like to go to russian federation 8 months then of the nazis, approximately 80 percent, all the of but of the citizens in the cities of which are encircled now though they would like to go as a refugees on that, that it, that it of the russian federation. but of these scenario is not door in favor of the nazis o'keefe and they are abstracted this opportunity for the people. and they
9:33 pm
did, they did not have any opportunities to go through all of these channels . we should put a per parapet, but every day are full for them by all will be with 3. so in this it is cedars deadlock, eep and instead of deadlock mole, russia, the russian military as is as is destroying these cities. what, why destroy cities and kill people? when you say that actually you're trying to liberate them in and that they, 80 percent of the more to go to russia. that doesn't make any sense. i'll tell you all, tell your what, what is go on. ah, in these cities, not only citizens, but there are troops or by nazis, and they are putting themselves and they are putting their albuterol albuterol, thanks near the causes, we are throw at trying not to destroy the challenges, but the war is war. so let's concentrate on the main issue,
9:34 pm
the sooner we have the victory, all of these masses element, the sooner the sooner there will be that sir. well, the new situation, peaceful situation, but the war is war. it's. it's so out of question. you remember that americans during the 2nd was war, they occurred in one night, eliminated a 35 thousands of people in the us, them. and thou of these people are teaching us what to do. who the, this is a stupid, you know, a lesson. we are not going to take these so think seriously ok, your grand names are they are all brothers, but this is a war and of course some casualties are absolutely inevitable and right back when of joining us from moscow. thank you for your time. and of course, the ambassador there mentioning the what he claims as
9:35 pm
a nazi elements at in ukraine. it's not anything, of course we can verify on this channel. and that is of use, particularly of him as a, as a former russian ambassador and a russian diploma protest is in the ukraine city of smelly toppa, le, demanding the release of their mayor. ukraine's government has put out security camera video, which it says shows him being abducted by russian soldiers. fenton monahan has more . military will, is firmly under russian controls. but people aren't afraid to stand up to the 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 as 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, while 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 release, the very person that represents the people of military bully ukrainians are calling federal abduction. a war crime thing international law prohibits taking civilian hostages during a war. mill topple was one of the 1st cities to fall to russia. federal lead several rallies against the invasion, some attended by thousands of people. while federal may now be detained, the protest he started likely to continue. vincent monahan al jazeera. we focused a lot on t van cities in the east and the south, but on friday,

9:38 pm
a 100 kilometers are from the border with bella rosen. some ukrainian officials say that perhaps troops from bella ross 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 west in ukraine, since the invasion began. we've mentioned this before, but there are 2 and a half 1000000 ukrainian refugees right now. more than half of them are children as well. and so many other countries have opened up their doors to them. the busiest crossings are, it's the vacuum, hungary and poland way more than one and a half 1000000 people have left ukraine, as we know, inter 17th dave conflict, moldova seen an influx of ukraine as well, more than a 100000 there. and germany is set to take in 2 and
