6:03 pm
the besieged port city on monday, but no aid supplies made it in. the resumption of cease fire talks on tuesday may result in a more sustained local cease fire around mario pole where it's clear relief cannot come too soon. hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in conditions of unimaginable hardship in a city blockade. and bon bonded foot 2 weeks. bodies said to lie unconnected in the st. supplies of food, water, and medicine. near exhausted, i'm sure it will ukraine's presidency. lensky has urged russian troops to surrender at the new school and on behalf of the ukrainian people, we give you a chance to live. if you surrender to our forces, we will treat you as humans have to be treated with dignity. the way you have not been treated by our own army and the way your army does not treat our people to
6:04 pm
choose. so a 2nd day of cease fire talks and separately, an adviser to president zalinski has said he believes the war will be over by may at the very latest. a prediction based on intelligence reports of slower than expected, russian progress, larger than expected russian losses. its forces spread increasingly thinly across the vastness of north south and east, a new crime, vivica wishful thinking, perhaps. but there's a little bit of georgia tech telling me about the units of the people from an issue that an extra public continue to compressed in sacramento, mary paul, the general advance from the east. the northern in western direction was up to 800 meters, for the divisions of the russian on forces are continuing offensive operations support. there are reports that russia has already prevailed on allies like china and syria for help. but all the heart in this fight belongs to ukraine, and it refuses to submit the whole al jazeera movie. or the
6:05 pm
evacuation route from mary paul that we mentioned extends just over 260 kilometers to the parisha, which is ukrainian how territory but ukraine's deputy prime minister says a convoy with supplies for marian pole, was stuck in nearby, bared janski's. i'll just here is outside bag is in chaper reach our he met some of the people displaced from merrier poll when they get here. vale, those they are toys. they've given food. and here you can see donation from people from ordering ukrainians, making a massive effort to try and welcome these people that have escaped from mario full . but it's not just, mary pulls that they have escaped from the surrounding areas. it is fighting taking place and the people that we've spoken to many are shocked and traumatized. many have lived in the villages all their lives and have no nothing else. and now they've been forced to leave. but we also have people that have been displaced
6:06 pm
a number of times because it's fighting in the east of the country has been going on since 2014, so many people left there to say for part of ukraine. and now again, they've been forced to leave, but the ukranian authority is saying that 2000 cause again have left mary approach . but that's not enough. the city as around 400000 people that had been seized by the russian and the ukrainians desperately want to get into that city. and the situation that we've been hearing from inside my report is that there's a lack of food, water, lack of heating, people are taking shelter in basement, but they're trying to get a and to doesn't cause as far as the ukrainians are concerned, isn't enough. let's get an update now from kiva ukraine's capital iran con is there for us. iran. let's start with this visit by 3 european leaders to keep today quite significant. what do we know about it and what message will the leaders be bringing?
6:07 pm
well, there on a huge amount of details oversee the the trip is being a kept under wraps for obvious reasons. but we do know it's the prime ministers of chechnya plus a holland, including the deputy prime minister and s. levine. is that 1st high level visit since the war began? and they're coming on behalf of the european council? it's an official visit. are they likely to be talking about aid now? poland is an incredibly important route for aid coming into the country. and for people leaving as one of the only rail lines is actually still operating internationally from live on to until and across the border into poland. now when we cross that border about a week ago, there was a lot of food loss of water being put into those trains is likely that they're going to be laying more trains on. however, i did see extraordinary scenes on the trains as they were coming past me,
6:08 pm
coming from the very end to poland, packed, absolutely packed with people. so like as a, is a very important rule, it's likely that all of that is going to be discussed by these leaders. it's interesting that the ukrainians haven't actually said a huge amount about this visit, the remaining very tight lips. those lead is going to be with president vladimir zalinski. are they likely to talk about as i say, aid? but there's obviously going to be talk about politics as well and how the war is going and what's the europeans can do. now a lot of his lens, he's always had one message for the europeans international community, and that's a no fly zone. whether he, it reiterates that message to the european council members, we don't know, but it's likely, given everything he said before, and the things he continues to say, he's still going to be pushing for europe for the rest of the world to get more involved. right. meanwhile, more residential buildings where hit in key again today bring us up to speed with the latest from the ukraine capital well, it was just
6:09 pm
a little after 5 a. m, when i heard an our team heard 3 loud bloss in the distance out. after scrambling to find out where the account for, we actually found out that they were in the north of keith, we went down to one of the sites. it was a residential block, it was a cow. it was like an estate full of these big residential buildings. with full pitches, though parks though a bench is ah, one of the missiles that we saw, one of the artillery shells who so actually exploded in front of the building, ripping out most of the interior. now we actually went inside the building and we met with her some of the people who are living there. they were sleeping in the lobby, the civil defense, people who told them to sleep in the lobby. they weren't expecting an attack into their building. but it's a miracle that they survive a man, it's only because they're actually sleeping in the lobby now or in a separate development. it may well be a link to,
6:10 pm
to the shelling that's going on in the last couple of days. but the curfew hair is been extended for the next 3 days. that means that nobody is allowed out mas streams. i'm skimming that the way the camera during the day. you can actually move around the streets and keep not wanting people to do because they're all married. many people here that curfew means that no one can be out in straits next 3 days or so of literary zalinski has extended the earth, martial law or for another 30 days. now that may well be something that he does every 30 days or we're still trying to find out. we don't think there is an incident that has sparks and extension that mot. marsha, look, i think it's just valid for a month and extends it for a month, but certainly a lot of very nervous, ukrainian, skeptically about his curfew, which stops them from going out in the streets. they wonder why that has been put into place, whether it, it's a, it's, it's full boating for a, an invasion into the,
6:11 pm
the capital city by russian forces. thank you for that update iran con, with the late to say on the situation in ukraine's capital keys. meanwhile, the port city of odessa, which is still under the control of ukraine, is preparing for a russian assault, or dr. hamid is there. this is a 45 city. this is the city that has actually been hit on the 1st night of the war on february 24th 20 people died on that day. and it to the city that president for the music and sky had warned more than once that a russia is planning to attack it as a very strategic port city on the black sea. one of the most important points for ukraine, a lot of exports happens in from that city, is a rush in advance to the south of odessa, the russian troops still stuck in the mc alive, but that's only about 130 kilometers from here. and now do ukrainian say that at
6:12 pm
the moment, they control the and 24, which is the road that would lead from nikolai of to odessa. but odessa feels that it's not under pressure from this advance from the south. they could, there's also the fact that it's facing the black sea, they ukrainians are saying that the russians are fortifying or building up the naval positions in the see that the, the city could be attacked from the sea as well. and then some do also say that the 3rd fund could be open from across the border in moldova, from that break away a region of trans nice job, which is of course, pro russia. so it's a c p that feels that it could become very quickly under siege and it's actually throughout my travels in this country. it is one of the most 45 cities i've seen so far. hot abdul hamid in odessa there now one ukrainian child becomes a refugee every 2nd. according to the united nations that 70000 a day,
6:13 pm
almost one and a half 1000000 children since the war began nearly 3 weeks ago. the when's refugee agency says more than 3000000 people have left ukraine to escape the fighting. more than half of those refugees have gone to poland polish president. andre, today i signed a new law to help the huge numbers of a write that destination allows ukrainians in poland to legally stay and work in the country. then bas robbie report, some cutoff. poland, 2nd city looks different these days. soldiers on scooters, refugees and sidewalks, reminders of russia's war ukraine at the consulate and crack of hundreds of ukrainians. wait in line for hours every day. okay. in your just so what's happening in ukraine is awful. it's more shooting, killing. they don't hesitate to kill anybody. i, it's mentally very difficult. my mind just cannot take it in the morning and give
6:14 pm
it. i have no idea when this will end. i think that it will take a long time before it's over. lots of people will die. this is horrible. it elizabeth recently arrived are part of the diaspora for ukrainians. uncertainty and chaos have become the norm. getting passports, having documents attested the drudgery of life admin, taking on much more significance now as many ukrainians prepared to be away from home for an unknown period of time. poland is never seen an influx of so many refugees. so quickly, krakow mayor says the city has its limits of dental gear. doesn't miss got, you know, i think i'm seeing it the same as every citizen of the city, but it's a major challenge for the most important thing. if humanitarian aid, no matter what we are trying to do, whatever we can, this war is something really terrifying. but it still says nebraska, if i could go appropriate public housing for refugees is near capacity. the mayor says his city needs more government funds to keep helping people. for now,
6:15 pm
the fate of many is in the head of the hardworking volunteers, a charities throughout the country. donations keep humming around the clock, volunteers working throughout the night to pack supplies, most headed for keys, the besieged ukrainian capital, foresee a huge originally from ukraine. this is personal. the 2nd floor of this charity has been turned into a temporary shelter for mostly women and children. the biggest challenge he says, is finding people a place to sleep in the beginning. people only slept here for one night and then left it out of now they're staying for 3 or 4 nights. we're looking for places for them to go. the government promised help, but we don't know if that's going to be enough. will cities that crack over dealing with wave after wave of refugees and with worsening violence in ukraine? there's no hiding from the fact they won't be going home any time soon. z basra, vo de 0, krakow poland. eloise felt to jo lowery hills as spokesman for the international organization for migration. he says,
6:16 pm
families with young children face serious risks when they cross the border from ukraine. it starts that the know what they're doing and they, they build programs that to take care of this lat long term. and we do build us into all our programming that the psychological support to keep the children. it's huge for us and, and also for, for that, for the mothers who has a, say, a taking on the role of caring for an entire family overnight. what's also essential is to think about the protection of people leaving ukraine and the people in, in ukraine as well when, when they're, when they become accessible, accessible to us. the people leaving out ukraine are very susceptible to rats, to predators, to human traffic, is needed to children, to, to abduction. and we will try to make, you know, the scores account that can get good safe passage for people. for example, in where i am now in moldova, along with you and hcr, and, and the government concerned in both romania, moldova, i, when it started on the record transfer of migrants,
6:17 pm
sending buses from romania right to the south. south western books at east border with ukraine and bringing people on to people today. the most vulnerable on buses. whether we can be sure that they're safe and get into romania where they are all going and the other humanitarian needs can be taken care of. the european union, the u. k, and canada have announced more sanctions against russia from on this last spring and poll brennan was in london with us in london forest. i should say. bo tenants by these latest sanctions, which sectors will be affected? mainly the energy sector, but it's important to say that because the european union recognizes that it relies heavily on the importation of russian gas and oil. it's not actually hitting russian exports of oil. what it is instead targeting is the investment by western companies in russian energy companies. so that will stop. it's also having
6:18 pm
a go at the all the goths and those who are fond of playing and high value luxury goods. so luxury goods worth more than around $330.00 us dollars will be banned from being exported to russia as real cause, for example, worth more than $55000.00. so that's an end. so for the, you know, really top sports cars being exported to the former soviet republics. the other thing that they're also talking about is asset freezes against more russian business leaders. so they're going to only galks and making sure that, that widening the net as far as that goes. and they'll also be a ban on the importation of certain steel products from russia, which the european commission estimates could hit russia to the tune of some $3600000000.00 us dollars as far as last revenue from exports from russia into europe of steel products. meanwhile, pole, the british prime minister boys johnston has been holding
6:19 pm
a summit with the leaders of the nordic and baltic countries. and they've been discussing how to boost military support to ukraine and ways to reduce energy dependence on russia. the cranium present voted me as a lensky address. the lead is virtually and call for more action to help stop the war poll. what tell us more about what's come out of that meeting and just how significant is it? while the joint expeditionary force is a gathering of nations, north european nations, some of european union members, summit, nato, some are both. and essentially, these are countries, the 4 of them are in fact have land borders with russia. shit. so the concerns about russian aggression and increasingly muscular muscularity towards its neighbors is a grave concern set for those 4 nations. what they've been discussing in london, and they were addressed, as you say, by president lensky of ukraine. by video link is increasing the amount of military
6:20 pm
assistance that they can offer to the ukrainian army, but also talking about the possibility of a rebuilding ukraine after it's had the after the conflict is finished. and i also told me about increasing support for leukemia, zalinski and his government to try and profit off essentially, while the fighting goes on. thank you for that to poll brennan lie for us in london, there are rushes. foreign ministry has announced personal sanctions on 13 u. s. officials including president joe biden. the list also includes the secretary of state, the defense secretary and the director of the cia rushes, retaliating after western countries sanctioned allies of present bottoming protein because of the war in ukraine. in moscow, a journalist is facing trial after protesting against a war during a live television news program. marina oversee and cova interrupted the bulletin on
6:21 pm
state television by holding up a sign reading stop the war. the kremlin has called her actions a form of hooliganism. while obviously kill that release, this pre recorded message about her protest. this is chris with no grainy and crystal cleaning. just honestly of what is currently happening in ukraine is crime . russia is a country aggressor, or responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of one person. glad amy peyton is my father's ukrainian. my mother is russian. they were never enemies . this necklace around my neck signifies that russia should immediately stop this fratricidal warning. you are not, brotherly nations can still reconcile. unfortunately, for the last several years, i worked at channel one promoting kremlin propaganda. and for that, i am very ashamed right now that i am ashamed that i allowed lies to be told from t v screens 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
6:22 pm
kremlin poisoned devonie. we simply continued watching in silence this in humane regime. now the whole world turned away from us. 10 generations of our descendants won't be able to wash away this shame of this fratricidal war. you or somebody, or we want to show you not some live pictures from the canadian parliament, where is a standing ovation as the president of ukraine is about to address members of the parliament there in ottawa, via video link. i've loaded me as zalinski and speaking to canadian lawmakers after canada and the u. k. among other countries impose additional sanctions on russia to day because of the war in ukraine or the canadian prime minister. justin trudeau are introducing vitamins lensky there. and we'll be hearing a very shortly from the ukranian leader. let's listen to the canadian prime minister in that form the pillars of all free democratic countries.

6:38 pm
overcome and will be victorious. see jo, gloria to ukraine. thank you. to canada. a standing ovation for ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, who's just addressed canada's parliament via video link and address, which also began with a standing ovation from the politicians in ardo, where there are the ukrainian leader saying, are russia is attempting to any he late the ukrainian people and i he once again called on canadian leaders and the west in general to expand their efforts in or reaching peace in ukraine. let's bring and she abra tansy in washington. dc. are the applies. continuing, therefore present zalinski at canada's parliament. he again, have reiterated she had her his call, our for are making the case rather for
6:39 pm
a no fly zone over ukraine. right, and even one point said, we don't ask for much, we're just asking for aerial support. but the consensus view about 9 countries, i've even petitions, and this is actually in some ways also going to be a cut and razor for the address that says lensky will make to a joint session of us congress tomorrow is, is it? no, because that could possibly lead to a shooting war with russia, between nato and russia, and the 3rd world war and potentially mutually assured destruction through nuclear weapons or once again. so let's say asking for that no fly zone, which he does not have a consensus for certainly here in the us or in the calendar, almost nato nations. but clearly he seems to think that the more the more he talks about it, the more pressure will build up something a month. but more public opinion perhaps. and so it's not clear what he's trying to do. but right now, certainly there is that, that red line that nato does not want a shooting war with russia because of the appalling potential consequences for the
6:40 pm
world as a whole, mutually assured destruction. he also cooled for more sanctions so that russia wouldn't have a single dollar. he said to mount the war effort that he is getting. he's getting the support canada along with other other allies just announcing today of sanctions on 50, more russian officials directly connected to the conflict where expecting legislation here in the us as well. to put into legislation to codify what president biden's already called for, which is an ending of most favored nation trading station status with, with, with russia as well as a sanctions on oil and gas imports. so that he is on safe ground. but there's no fly zone. so for now, at least it's not gaining any attraction just because it is, you know, was consequences because clearly a no fly zone isn't just patrolling the sky. it's potentially bombing, russian aircraft, antea, cough installations in russia itself,
6:41 pm
potentially an potentially shooting down russian jets and ukranian s space. and so that we offer him from the u. s. certainly is re pointed out that a lot of the attacks that we do hear about are actually being being originating from rational space not being the originating from euclidean no space anyway. and so that's why other, another reason why the u. s. has look that we will will going down that road at least from now. she had thank you very much for their update. she had a rotten c live forced air in washington, d. c. now an update on a story that we were reporting earlier and the, the journalists in moscow who protested against the war during a live tv news program. well, she's appeared in court and has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her. maria, apologies for that. yet she interrupted the bulletin on fe television by holding up a sign reading stop the war. while the kremlin has called her actions a form of hooliganism mess, marina, or via nisa kaba,
6:42 pm
who's appeared in court today and pleaded not guilty. let's speak to sophia or last key about this. she's the deputy program director for europe and eurasia with freedom house. and she's joining us live from washington. thank you very much for being with us. so the journalists we've just heard has pleaded not guilty in court . i want to know 1st, how much attention this this action from marina is getting in russia. people actually talking about it at all. yes, there is a lot of conversation, a little bit of surprise, a little bit of relief as well, with sentiments like finally somebody stacked up and brush and media outlets. those were able actually following this case to help me. why did so. she's appeared in court and has pleaded not guilty. what we know, what, what do you expect her her try to be like, i mean, what is she likely to face? so the child was currently happening and it's very,
6:43 pm
very quick. she was just seen yesterday. it is actually not for the protest alive air. it is for the video that you are aired earlier on the program where she was explaining her actions and the reason behind her actions. so the short court trial is on an administrative offense that carries a fine. and then what i'm seeing is that there is a separate review qualifications review happening or potential criminal case looking into the action that took place on my there. certainly, what many people have said about this journalist is that what she did on fe, television and russia was something very brave. what do people in russia to de risk for contradicting the government narrative of the war?
6:44 pm
what we're seeing right now is how to struck back a funding freedoms in russia and the russian lawmakers very nice. so we've adopted new legislation both installing a criminal hello to use the an administrative panel use like find for what they call discrediting activities of russian military forces, but also for knowingly just submitting fake information about russian military actions. and these are very new, very path legislative and then that can harry criminal penalties, the prison time up to 15 years. but they start from a pretty hefty fines. and also variety of different from, based on the so called theory of the sophia,
6:45 pm
our last key. thank you very much for talking to us about this. thank you for your time. and don't forget, we've got up to date information on the war in ukraine on our website. a special page is up there, the war in ukraine. click on it to find the latest news developments analysis and opinion pieces that's on al jazeera dot com. ah, that's now bring you some of the days avenues and russia says the u. s. has guaranteed it will be able to trade it with even as part of an ongoing attempt to save the 2015 nuclear deal. foreign minister sag elaborate has been meeting his iranian counterpart in moscow, france, germany and britain have said a series of last minute russian demands and its invasion of ukraine put the whole deal at risk. in india, the defense minister says it's a miss. our systems are reliable and safe after one was accidentally fired and
6:46 pm
landed in pakistan. islamabad says the weapon damaged a wall in a residential area of punjab province. last wednesday, no casualties were reported. india has ordered an inquiry, but pakistan wants a joint investigation. india has not revealed what miss hyde was launched. india needs to clearly explain the type and specification of the messiah that fill in, bought to sunny, did it re. india also needs to explain the flight bought off the accidentally launched beside and haul it ultimately termed and entered into pakistan. now give me the review of the standard operating procedures for operations, maintenance, and inspection is being conducted in the wake of the incident and the attachment to the highest pro, tip to the safety and security of our work consistent. and if any shortcoming is
6:47 pm
found, it would be immediately rectified. when i speak to i chesapeake about this, she's a senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college london. thank you very much, i sure for being with us and thank you for your patience as we were dealing with the breaking news there from ukraine. so india's defense minister saying that this was a one off incident and that they will conduct what they're calling a high level investigation, which the pakistani want to be apart. how likely is that and what do you expect to come out of this investigation? well, i think it's a varying incident. i mean, all the induce trying to play down. i mean, just imagine if you know there was a park sunny, bizarre, which had misfired and landed in india. then the media would have really b up in the back side on the other hand being more constrained. but i think what is important to understand is that both countries to do serious nuclear risk reduction accidents can happen. and this is, this is actually an accident which,
6:48 pm
which kind of draws attention towards the possibilities of probabilities. i mean, we today, if this was nuclear warhead, detached to it, the damage had been great. probably you would be talking about it today instead of ukraine, you'd be talking about indian pockets. and we know that indian box on as being major. you know, if you know topic of discussion for media attention, definitely be. i think what bark found? his goal for is a joint investigation, right? it's worship. and i think the more important thing is for both countries to sit down goal, talk about nuclear risk production. right now there is no conversation. there is no direct conversation happening between the 2 governments. do the indian actually
6:49 pm
have warning systems in place? but the sun has wanting systems in place as well. but i think there is a step ahead that both countries need to go back. son of india has been experimenting with the bra most bizarre and o bach. hassan has been watching it barks on, how's the radar system to observe it up, get the problem. is that in this particular case, this, this, this is a desk which went wrong. the cry too. you're probably experimenting it shooting out of the massage from, from a height from using an aircraft, a sequoia aircraft as a platform. now, anything can happen between these 2 nuclear powered countries, which are not conversing with each other. number one, number 2, they have a whole range of missiles not. and what in india has claimed that it
6:50 pm
doesn't have a policy of no 1st use, but it is using canisters, which means it keeps missiles close to delivery systems, you know, in, in canisters. which actually means that it's no 1st use is in, in is, is a to radical concept. in reality, situation is different. there is no 1st use. so the threat increases in case of india. and also in case of pakistan, which is all along said that it will if it feels sufficiently threatened, if a threshold it's pushed through crosses, try threshold, then. oh, it will use a nuclear weapons, but certainly very ins. arnie tuition, i think. yeah, yeah. so i think it's, it's, it's barring at both sides, just sit down and do nuclear risk reduction. thank you very much for talking to us about this ayesha city care from kings college in london. thank you for your time. thank are let's turn our attention to sports now and he is peter. thank you very
