be artillery shells, within very quick succession of each other. our subsequent investigation revealed that that were actually 4 attacks to residential blocks were attacked in one neighborhood, those a metro station as well. all of these seemingly civilian targets, the bitches that we've seen so far suggest that they're all civilian targets. emergency services are on the same rare, and that may perhaps 2 people have been killed, but we're waiting to get official confirmation on that. these happened slightly closer to the center of keep them be full. now it's worth pointing out here that at 5 am, yesterday there was another attack hitting a residential neighborhood in the north. that was an apartment block of 9 stories are high. and again, this morning at 5 a. m a 3 more attack. so it looks like the russians are trying to keep a pressure on a kiva whilst they talked continue. now what we're hearing is averts of the attacks

that took place. it happened, like i say in 5 am, it would lays likely that a lot of those apartment buildings would be empty. 50 percent of the city has already been evacuated. however, there would have been people in those buildings and that's what the emergency services. and now in those buildings trying to look full, they're also likely to be people sheltering in the metro metro very deep, underground, ideal as bunkers. so are we waiting to head to see if there are any more casualties, more injuries, but it's likely throughout the day that that figure will change around. you mentioned the talks just a moment ago, how much progress has been made in the ongoing talks. what rig depends on who you speak to a lot of the politicians are putting a spin on this saying the talk saw ongoing. this is the full threatened of talks between the russians and the ukrainians. is it's worth pointing out it that the 1st

3 rounds of tools were about humanitarian corridors and getting aid into besieged areas like mary a poll that you've seen already so far in this bulletin. however, this round of talks or the russians were saying that they were hoping to issue a joint statement and that never came, the talks continue to they, the ukrainians are very defined. they've got their demands that demands a very clef and end to the fighting for peace. i'm for russian, for the russians to withdraw. the russians also have their demands. are they demands haven't seemingly changed since the beginning. and that includes the fact that the ukrainians should know recognized knighthood that should not be become part of the european union. but those of the why the issues right now. oh, the focus is on trying to get a ceasefire between the 2 sides. but that's, it hasn't happened so far, like i say, this is the full run. and so let's see what happens throughout the day. but if you speak to most people at, ah, they've given up hope not completely,

but given up what these tools might amount to anything resembling the end of the war. it may well be that these talks is still about managing the situation right now. and by that, i mean more humanitarian corridors, getting people out and getting aid to the people that need it most. okay, thank you so much. i'm on con is reporting for us from keith. well, let's take a look at the latest situation on the ground. so the areas and read are under russian control, ukrainian official, say 3 humanitarian corridors, set up on the outskirts of keith were not successful. that's after russian forces fired on fleeing civilians while and on yet sc, rushing back separate. i say at least 20 people died in a missile strike by ukrainian forces. keith denied launching the muscle. local authorities and besieged mario pole say at least 2 and a half 1000 people have died since the invasion began. the city has been under russian bombardment for 2 weeks and after several failed attempts around 4000

civilians did manage to leave mario pole. it's the 1st civilian, calm boy to exit since it came under siege. the hundreds of thousands of people who remain though have been left with little access to food, water and electricity. natasha butler has more from the western city. if the beads this is what life has become. in mario poll law, an existence punctuated by the sound of russian plains and shilling, and by fear and grief. people hoping it won't be them next month. we have no information at all. we know nothing. it's as if we are living in a dark forest. russian forces continue to attack the southern ukrainian port city. more than 400000 people are trapped in what the mayor calls an apocalypse water and electricity supplies a cut food and medicine. scarce. some people manage to evacuate on monday,

but not very many. oh, in a make shift hospital in the city, a baby girl is born into a world. her mother could never have imagined moments that should be filled only with joy. are overshadowed by fear warner pediasure. she survived after maternity hospital. number 3 was bombed and ruined. she was brought here all birth mothers. how lived through so many thanks. maternity hospital number 3 was destroyed by russian shelling on wednesday. marianna also survived. she's named her baby. veronica. are the british with red wichita. we were lying in wards when gloss frames, windows and walls few apart that we don't know how it happened. we were in our wards and some had time to cover themselves. and some didn't mean long emergency workers had rescued this woman after the attack,

but doctors were unable to save her or her baby in the eastern city of cram a task, people are picking through what's left of their homes. the 4th round of talks between russian and ukrainian negotiators was paused, but he said to resume on tuesday. meanwhile, ukraine's president issued a warning to western powers on monday, after russian attack, may nato member poland border. he virus, you know, i repeat again. if you do not close this goes, it's only a matter of time before russian muscles will fall on your territory, but one nato territory on the homes in the citizens of nato countries. russian forces continue to target western parts of the country. this tv tower in the city of revenue was hit by missiles and in the city of receive. another night of s. sirens ended bringing another day of uncertainty. since the beginning of the invasion, levine has been considered as something of a safe haven, but with

a growing number of attacks and western ukraine. some people here are really starting to feel that the war is closing in. people in the city are preparing for the worst today we completed and have any safety location on region in our country. and so it was predictable because one of the 1st time see that russian troops killed on the main streets of hark. if keith, my children, they bonsa children, hospitals, so they can use ever since you are a says louise, feel safer than his home city of key for now. but he knows that could change. i don't understand what happened in twins this world. 3 weeks ago were russian army attacks our sieges, our peoples, our children's, and i don't understand how browse. i can go to another brother and kill him. i don't understand across ukraine, people have no choice and to put one foot in front of the other to keep living

despite the chaos and cruelty of war, clinging onto the hope, the to morrow could be different. it's ashley butler. you 0. david was ukraine who did not cross over to denise. that's an eastern ukraine and bring in a said big. so i said as we saw natasha's report, it's a desperate situation. and maria poll, what can you tell us about the humanitarian corridors that are meant to be in place? well, yesterday we heard from the russians to act of the 10 minute turn car does agree that they said that keyvonte agreed to 3 of them. now this conway of 160 private cars that managed to leave that with the city that strategic important port city. we believe that they arrived a size of rich around 2 am. local time, you understand that people were cold, hungry, and very, very tired. it's of quite, quite a journey from there because they have to go to russian control city and then make

their way to the ukranian controlled city. so the 1st people that have been evacuated have arrived just in the early i was of this morning. but agency that describing the situation in maryville as apocalyptic. in fact, the international committee for the red cross, they said that people are terrified and traumatized temperatures. drop, who are below 0 at night, and people are sheltering in basements, the heat it. so the situation continues to be very, very difficult for the $400000.00 and the so residents of the city. now we also heard yesterday that the number of dead red residence is now 2500. but the city is still under ukrainian control, or they'll have been image of the russian tanks on the streets. but the russians still don't have full control of my report. but this fil a 10th by the ukrainians to try and get a into that city now. they've been trying for the last week and a half. the haven't managed to do it yesterday. and a convoy again attempted and they didn't make it again. they're going to try today,

but the russians have said that 450 tons of humanitarian aid has been delivered to that 50. and again, there are 2 different narratives here, both sides. they mean each other for the lack of humanitarian aid getting in the navigation. so that the russians have shelled convoys, of course, they have denied the and say that they don't target civilians. ok, thank you so much. as a big reporting from the east of ukraine, ukrainian media is reporting the power has been restored to the tr noble nuclear plant. it had been relying on electricity from diesel generators after external power lines were damaged on sunday. chernobyl was seized by russian forces almost 3 weeks ago. the wednesday clear watchdog is warning that workers still on the site are suffering mental and physical exhaustion. the un secretary general has warned the prospect if a nuclear conflict is within reach. further escalation of the war, whether by accident thought of the zine, said athens, all of humanity. rising,

the alert of russian nuclear forces is a bone chilling developments. the prospect of nuclear conflict once and thinkable, is not back within the realm of possibility. the security and safety of nuclear facilities must also be preserves still ahead on out 0 reminder up on a bay roots worse tragedies. why the families of those killed in the 2020 port explosion want the silos to be preserved? ah, the weather is all changing our barrier, which i think is probably be welcome miss math class given significant ray of spain and portugal happened during monday, diane lady during monday night elsewhere. it looked as it could be been active.

it's not really to be honest in northern europe. well, the story weather's coming out of east encountered hitting iceland, but the time it gets down to scotland, norman island intensive fade away. little bit. this nice draw of water ahead of it . so temperatures in a good part of northern europe are actually rising 20 and partially example 18 and to an actual fact. and we're goes down from 18, but not until says and even then only just to the average. so nice. it was quite a spell down here at the rainy's movie away as i said, dream monday, nights, tuesday. i see a fine looking day though windy one for a good part of eastern spot in the rain. still falling. surprisingly in this small part of france was a warning of the stream flooding, cuz it's raining for full days. this current affair of wind suggests a low pressure i just west of broken so that whether the cause is going to hit morocco and the canary house, quite a strong wind touch degrees, it will feel co, isn't that. but there's rain and snow falling in the atlas, man, it's not a good day from a rocker. and when does the story elsewhere

a windy and sandy one ah, ah, tens of thousands of children were born into or lived under the icicle regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps you the orphans, all with that we don't. mothers rejected by their own communities, chicken you like people are going to, well come with mouth about, of course mom and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera. ah ah,

hello again. the top stories on al jazeera this hour ukraine is demanding russia stop bombing civilians on degree to a ceasefire. as negotiators from both sides, prepared to hold more talks on tuesday and dots as russian bombs continued to fall on ukrainian cities. after several evacuation attempt around $400.00 civilians have fled, the besieged city of mario pole. the city has been surrounded and bombarded by russian forces for 2 weeks. residents are running out of food and water. power has been restored to ukraine's chernobyl nuclear plant, 2 days officer, external electricity lines were damaged. it had me relying on diesel generators to keep spent nuclear fuel cool. in moscow, a journalist has been arrested after protesting against the war during a live tv news program. marina of the new cova interrupted the bullets in on state television by holding up

a sign reading stop the war behind the presenter. the top news agencies reporting the channels undertaking an internal review into the incident or the woman who worked as an editor of the channel, one new station and released this pre recorded message about her protest disposition base with, you know, going to pinion seal. so now, what is currently happening in ukraine as a crime? russia is a country aggressor, or responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of one person. let me putin, my father's ukrainian, my mother is russian. they would never enemies. this necklace around my neck signifies that russia should immediately stop this fratricidal war. you cannot, brotherly nations can still reconcile. unfortunately, for the last several years, i worked at channel one promoting criminal propaganda. and for that, i'm very ashamed right now. i'm ashamed that i allowed lies to be told from tv screen that i allowed russian people to be zombified. we stayed quiet when all of

this was just getting started in 2014. we didn't come out to protest when the kremlin poisoned for me. we simply continued watching in silence this inhumane regime. while the whole world turned away from us, 10 generations of our descendants won't be able to wash away the shame of this fratricide oval. the one is warning to warn ukraine could lead to a global food catastrophe. half of the grain used by the world's food program comes from ukraine. the u. n says 821000000 people around the world suffer from hunger. russia ukraine combined provide nearly a 3rd of the world's wheat and barley exports. wheat prices have jumped by 55 percent since the week before. the invasion on russia has put a temporary ban on exporting. green and sugar shows. i'm going to be as a communications officer at the world food program, she says the war is having a significant knock on effect on global food supplies. i think the main challenge

at the moment or the infrastructure, the supply chain systems that are falling apart. i mean, the systems are supposed to be feeding millions of people that are trapped in the context in ukraine, and some of them are completely decimated. so we're talking about a truck and trade that are being destroyed, bridges falling apart. supermarkets that are being wiped out and we're having to build this operation from the ground. and, you know, to build such an operation is going to take a lot of time, which is unfortunately not on our side, but our priorities to focus on repairing those infrastructures. and supply chain and creating the supply chain light flying into so that we could facilitate the transportation of humanitarian assistance, not just food, but on behalf of the humanitarian community, but also the position to the stocks in areas where we feel the conflicts made clara . there's so many countries and regions that depend on exports from ukraine. but

for example, the men of region is one that's going to be impacted. you've got lebanon dates, or 50 percent. they import 50 percent of their weight from ukraine to initiate 42 percent in yemen. 22 percent, so it's definitely going to have a ripple effect. let's bring you some of the days. other news. the court in india has upheld a ban on head coverings in some classrooms. the decision in current talk, a state sparked a wave of protest, which for schools and colleges to close for 3 days in february, elizabeth brought him is life for us in new delhi with more on this story. elizabeth, so how did the court come to this decision? hello, during while a 3 judge bench that the full bench of the canada high court, which includes a female muslim judge, said that they unanimously dismissed the various petitions, challenging the bad on the wearing of head scarves in educational institutions in

the state. because they decided that the wearing of headscarf is not an essential but the just practice. they called it in islam and also that it's school to restrict people from wearing a headscarf. so that is a reasonable restriction that it's constitutionally permissible and that students can't object to it. now they came to this decision after 11 hearings off the students in the district, the district to come, not the car called just people challenging this. this issue arose when just one principal than one college, and it would just be awesome. working students not way has because that was followed soon by other colleges and to be and then colleges in more districts in canada. now the students were arguing that there was no law in india, which prohibits them from wearing heads because that in fact the indian

constitution, which allows for religious freedom that they have right to where it is protected for the cut. not of the government was arguing that educational institutions have the right to make up these rules and today cut off as an advocate general. that is, the state lawyer said that the judgment shows that institutional discipline has prevailed of the individual choice. so what can we expect the fall out to be from this decision? those because there were protest both against and in support of the band earlier this year. yeah. and those protests were in karnataka, but they took place in other parts of the country as well. protests against the bad, but also many protest by hindu nationalist who supported the bad and certainly the government in kanaka has put many measures in place. such as all schools and colleges are closed in order to be today as there was a bad on people gathering in many districts in canada, including the capital city,

bengal lou do now the local administration. and he has asked people not to protest the high court decision, but also not to calibrated. and the students lawyers have said that they will be taking this. they will be challenging this judgment by going to in the top court. the supreme court here in new delhi, there are concerns, of course, that the judgment sets a precedent, especially in other states which are governed by the him, the national bought the a, jumped the party like cut, nautica, canada says advocate general, set off the, the decision that it is a paradigm shift in the interpretation of the article of the constitution. article $25.00, which pertains to religious freedom, the rights religious freedom. all right, thank you so much. and those are for, on reporting from new jelly. paris president is rapidly losing support after just 7 months in office. the opposition, like congress passed
