meeting next week, and the white house is just announced. president joe biden will be traveling to brussels. john hall begins are coverage with this report from live this is no longer a city of one and a half 1000000 people. many have fled. the russians are raising whole residential districts to the ground. they say civilians are being used as human shields and the soldiers are hiding among them. but how can they tell from up there as the bombs continued to fall indiscriminately? the battles look here continues to with daily shelling that includes residential buildings from russian positions. just 15 kilometers away and closer quarters. fighting on it's suburban outskirts, western intelligence assessments point to

a ground offensive that is largely stalled with russian troops making little or no progress. but if the towns like or pin butcher and house the mouth were to fall apart, could open up for a push on the capital and russia maintains its strangle hold. on maria poll, the southern port, city, and other important strategic objective. a convoy of civilian vehicles, reportedly 2000 of them left via a humanitarian corridor that held for a 2nd day. but still no aid supplies made it in and still hundreds of thousands exist in conditions of unimaginable hardship. bodies are said to lie unconnected in the st. supplies of food, water, and medicine, near exhausted easing, the flight of maria pole was a key demand of the ukrainian side in cease fire talks that continued on tuesday.

but there is a lot more still to do. i think the new rates going not only 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 your own army and the way your army does not treat our people to choose. so a 2nd day of cease fire talks and separately, an adviser to president zelinski 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 wishful thinking, perhaps. but it isn't a doors as the delivery of the units of the people's militia that an extra public continued to compressed in supplementing mary poll. the general advance from the east, the northern and western direction was up to 800 meters. the divisions of the russian

armed forces are continuing offensive operations. 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. jonah hold al jazeera will with her. let's get an update on the situation in keith. now ukraine's capital iran con is therefore a stretch thought him on with a visit by these 3 european lead is quite significant. what more you hearing about it, what we saw it. does that question just in the last few moments we've heard intense shelling likely to be the areas of a butcher and are pete about 15 kilometers away from where i'm standing right now. that's been ongoing for loss or so to 30 minutes or so a but this visit or by the 3 leaders is actually the highest level visit. this

happened since the war began 20 days ago, the prime ministers of poland check year and slovenia are due to talk to vladimir as a lensky. what they do is they're announcing a e, you aid package. this is an officially sanctioned european council visits or what said in that package, we don't know, but poland particularly is a very key ally and a very key root into a ukraine. it's one of the only rel, links is actually still open. and when we travel that rolling about a week ago, we saw lots of food, lots of humanitarian aid being loaded onto the trains. coming in. we also said very harrowing scenes of people are packed like sardines on a train are coming out of live and into poland. people just with their babies, not just in front of their arms were on the shoulders as well. so this aid convoy, sorry, this or humanitarian aid package is going to be crucial. or we've seen those pictures

from se murray or poll, where aid convoys were trying to get into the city. ah, that wasn't nowhere near enough, a humanitarian aid, but there is another problem. once you've got the 8, you need to find a way of getting it to the people need it. now take for example, boucher and her pin and estimate which are under intense russian bombardment. you'll need a ceasefire in august to try and get aid into that. maybe that's one of the things being discussed. although they are announcing the aid package, most of the people who, who close watches over ukraine, ukrainian politics suggest the actually they're going to be talking about politics as well. now you mentioned the shelling in key. they're, they're just there, you know, moments ago, before you came to hair, a coffee has now come into effect in ukraine's capital. tell us about what's been happening in and around keith well, let me talk you about the curfew 1st. the curfew is on. ah,

it takes place 8 o'clock every evening local time or so they go completely empty streets though streets are going to be that empty for the next 36 hours. so it's be a daytime curfew as well. now we have seen daytime cookies in keith before we don't know why the authorities have put that curfew in place of may have something to do with the the prime ministers visits. oh that we were just talking about earlier. are but a lot of a to it's made a lot of ukrainian residents, very, very nervous. they've been seeing that the shelling that's been coming in to the north of kia right in the city on the outskirts of the city. we were down there to day. oh, there was a, one of the buildings were actually for attacks. we were down at one of the buildings today. or we saw where the rocket had landed. the whole front of the building had been blown away. we actually went inside one of the apartments and spoke to one of the residents of michael of isis lavet. his love ah, was sleeping in the corridor of his apartment,

a building in actually his flat. and that's the only thing that saved him from dying. now lot of residents are doing that because they were expecting something like this to happen. so, or it's making a lot of people nervous. now, also the other thing, not just the curfew, but martial law has actually already also been extended for another 30 days. and what it looks like on what's happening is every 30 days they'll extend that martial law and it keeps people off the streets at night, particularly. but unprecedented ur, certainly the 2nd time only that we've seen a date on curfew that comes into place. now. thank you for that he mankind, my for i say in keith as had to washington d. c. now and our white house correspondent. kimberly how can, kimberly, you've just come out of a press briefing from the white house press. secretary, tell us about what she's had to say about the situation in ukraine. oh, well, what we know is, as the u. s. president has

a new meeting on his schedule in order to try and deal with the situation in ukraine. he will be continuing to coordinate with western leaders. he will be attending on march 24th, the nato summit. he will be traveling there for that meeting next thursday. he will also, well in europe, be meeting with the european council. this is something that he will be doing to once again try and resolve this ongoing conflict and also to deal with what the united states feels is russian. c aggression and how to counter that. now in the interim, the u. s. president. set to sign in the coming moments here in the united states here at the white house bill that will see significant aid to ukraine in the tune of a $4000000000.00. this is humanitarian aid to deal with this crisis as part of a wider spending bill. this is something that has been pushed for here in the

united states. it is to help those that have been displaced, the millions that have left their homes as a result of this crisis, the russian invasion by vladimir putin. this is significant in that it is something that has not only been asked for, but we should also note has been criticized a little bit of controversy because there is a bit of reduction in the broader spending package that was requested by the biden administration. given the fact that there are other conflicts around the world, and some of that aid has been cut. in fact, the biden administration, asking for about 8 and a half 1000000 in total, and getting only about $6800000000.00 to deal with those other crises around the world. so we're watching carefully to hear what the u. s. president will say, when he size this into law, how this money is going to be allocated. but for now, this is what we know the u. s. president. planning to do in order. try and deal with this crisis. kimberly,

thank you for that. kimberly hanford live for sale at the white house and back in ukraine. thousands of people escaping the besieged city of mary. a port on an evacuation route that extends just over 260 kilometers to sap aleisha, which is ukrainian how territory but ukraine's deputy prime minister says a convoy with supplies for mary, a pole, a stuck near by in brilliance al jazeera us, i beg his ins operation, he met some of the people des space from mary apple. when they get here, they are, those they are toys, they given food, and here you can see donation from people from ordering ukrainians, making a massive effort to try to welcome these people that have escaped from variable. but it's not just medical 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 hands of 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 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 merrier poll, but that's not enough. the city has around 400000 people that has been established by the russians 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 taking shelter in basement. but the trying to get a and to doesn't cause as far as ukrainians are concerned, isn't enough. ukrainians are bracing for russian bombardment on the port city of odessa. satellite images has shown russian naval ships approaching the ukrainian coast, towed up to me, drake, once president vladimir zaleski, has worn several times that russia is getting ready to attack odessa. and certainly

people here have taken that warning seriously. coming into the city, the 45 checkpoints that you have to go through with really heavy security and then all over the city. what you would see is this kind of roadblock. a lot of fat bags everywhere seems like half of the population maybe has gone away because this is a call so resort. it's on the black sea and it's act be considered the jewel of the black sea. this is the opera house, and is the crown of odessa is a city that has a lot of russian investment. it's a city where a lot of russian come on holiday. it's a city that has openly shows too poor to russia in the past. after the annexation in crimea, in 2014, there were deadly rise between poor russia, the pro ukrainians, in which 40 people died. when ever you look, you will see the ukrainian colors. you will hear you created music. perhaps people

here have been shocked of what they've seen unfolding in the capital q, but probably even more so. but what happened in the car key, which is considered also very pro russian city. the message coming out from this the, at the moment for what we see is that they're supporting ukraine and that could bring them punishment. one ukrainian child becomes a refugee every 2nd, according to the united nations that 70000 a day, almost r 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. and more than half of those refugees have gone to poland. polish president andre duda has signed a new law to help the huge numbers of arrived. the legislation allows ukrainians in poland to legally stay and work in the country. then bas ravi reports on crack of poland. second 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 in korean, yours as well. what's happening in ukraine is awful. it's more shooting, killing. they don't hesitate to kill any body, right? it's mentally very difficult. my mind just cannot take it in the morning and give 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 is lucy . there recently arrived. are part of the diaspora for ukrainians. uncertainty and chaos have become the north. 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. crackers mayor says the city has its limits of dental them.

you have custody, miss scott, you know, i think i'm seeing it the same as every citizen of the city, but it's a major challenge. the most important thing is humanitarian aid. no matter want. we are trying to do whatever we can. this war is something really terrifying most. this is number of the lucky go. appropriate public housing for refugees is near capacity. the mayor says his city needs more government funds to keep helping people. for now, the fate of many is in the hands of hardworking volunteers, a charities throughout the country. donations keep coming round 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. we'll 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. as a bus, raphael da 0, krakow poland. ukraine's president has been given a standing ovation by members of canada's parliament. anybody who advanced not amusement, he appeared for more support, including a no fly zone. he said, ukrainians are going through hell because of russian bombing that follows. canadian prime minister just intruder announcing new sanctions on 15 russian officials. nigel in the we all need to do more to stop russia and protect ukraine, and by doing that to protect europe from the russian threat is that they're destroying everything. memorial complex law schools, hospitals,

housing complexes will, yeah, they've already killed 97 ukrainian children. we're not asking for much, lee, we ask him for justice duty for your support, which will help us to prevail and defend and save lives all over the world. and you think the european union has announced more sanctions against russia. they include expanded restrictions on the defense energy and industry sectors. and as a ban on all transactions with certain state owned companies, that's the strongest package of sanctions ever adopted by dupont union in its history. faster history call decision will have more than 600 russian people being targeted by those sanctions. you will have a large part of the financial system being targeted by your sanctions. you will have new ban on some exploitation like the looks of the goods. and we will withdraw to the russian state the most favored mission close within the world trade

organization, or brennan has more from london. well, they've been targeting investment in russia's energy sector. it's important to remind, remember that was the europe is dependent on russian energy. so what this rafters, new sanctions targets is investment by the west into russian energy infrastructure . they're also banning luxury good exports from europe into russia. so that's any luxury good worth, more than around $330.00 us dollars. any call worth more than 5 worth more than $55000.00 us dollars that will no longer be allowed to be exported into russia. and the other area where the pin union has decided to sanction is a ban of imports of steel products from russia in to europe. and it's estimated that that will be somewhere like $3600000000.00, sorry, dollars worth of russian steel products. a significant impact on the market that

now as well as european sanctions. the u. k. has this, lunchtime launched its own sanctions, 370 individuals on added to the case list of sanctioned individuals name. crude names as recognizable is dimitri med who's the former russian president and prime minister now says deputy chair of persian security council, russian defense minister, chicago, and also recognizable people to me to pest golf, who is putins, pestle spokesman, and russia. foreign ministry has nouns, personal factions, on 13 us officials, including present joe biden list also includes the secretary of state, the defense secretary, and the director of the ca rushes retaliating after western countries impose measures against the allies of president vladimir 40 the u. s. television networks, fox news says it's cameraman and producer, have been killed near keith, ukraine's capital. the cool way when use gathering when their vehicle was hit by

artillery fire. pierre is that correct? sky and sandra cushion of our were travelling with reporter benjamin hall, who was injured in the attack. in moscow, a record has find a russian journalist, $280.00 for protesting against the war during a live tv news program. marina of the asking over interrupted the bulletin on st. television by holding up a sign reading stop the war. the kremlin has called her actions a form of hooliganism. ah, let's look at some avenues now. in russia says the u. s. has guaranteed it will be able to trade with iran 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. but it look mostly that we wait for the lifting of the legal sanctions, which were implemented by the u. s. and impact not only around and iranian people, but many other people. the us on a daily basis is accusing us of slowing down this agreement. that's a lie with this agreement is not finalized in some capitals but the russian capital . moscow is not one of them that speak to our senior political analyst. my one becerra about this is joining us from to her. my one, i thank you for being with us on the news. our a lot of optimism about the ron nuclear deal from the russians. the foreign minister, 2nd lover of saying the revival of the agreement is in the home straight out. first of all, what role do you think the, the current geopolitical situation, the war in ukraine has sprayed in this in accelerating it would seem the negotiations? well, yes, absolutely. i mean, it did seem not fully that the deed was more or less a done deal out for

a few weeks now. but clearly the crisis in ukraine accelerated the negotiations because the iranians are during, as are of course of always been interested despite playing hard to get the sanctions or the crumbling sanctions didn't hurt or wrong a lot. and they are really interested enthusiast. stick about getting a deal done and getting their economy back on track. the united states is the one that has become ever more interested in getting that the finalized because of ukraine. because on the one hand, you know, one crisis out of the way, because they, they need to focus on the bigger prices and that is with the russians. and to, you know, the 3 underlining issues that are in discussion with iran, somehow touch on the question or the challenge of russia, char, oil, nuclear weapons, and security. so in a way, certainly, washington would be interested to see iran. ah, hi,

pop it's oil production as soon as possible to make up for that oil boycott. ah, would rush right from front sons the global position. it would seem then that the veins are no longer the biggest spooky man on the block. my one, we're not looking at russia which, which has been sanctioned, of course, by the west. how much leverage dies even have now, are they in a better position to negotiate and do you expect some of the sanctions on them to be lifted? of course, we're not sure exactly what the text looks like, although some people are speaking about it, like certain senators in, in washington, as if they know what the content is. and it seems like content is not so different from the previous content. it involves mortars the same elements, some claim that the iranians have gotten it easy, some say not so much, you know, but it's really more or less reviving the 2015 deal. having said that,

i think the, the iranians are going to be 1st and foremost, interested in getting that economy back on track. and that also means getting their security of their army, their military back on track as well, of course. right. and because that is going to give them push prestige in the region. and i think once they see how things are going with russia like the chinese, you know, they're waiting to see. and i think once they, once they think or know, or they can bet on fulton, i think iranians are quite interested and they've shown interest in alliance with russia just like china did. but they don't want to pay a high price for it with washington. so they are more than happy to get the deal done to get the sanction lifted to get the money from the u. k and whatever else. and then later on down the road to see how best they can then redesign if you will or their relationship with moscow. but clearly,

or from the various things that we've read them, we've seen iran is still interested in moscow just like chinese that interested much more just like china and russia and your wine are still making up some kind of a challenging triangle for the united states. very interesting, thank you so much my own for talking to us about this. my one beserra is our senior political analyst. british m. p says nasa means a gary roderick radcliffe has been detained in iran since 2016 has hired her a u. k passport return. so gary radcliffe was arrested in tehran and sentenced to 5 years in prison to plotting to overthrow the iranian government. you charges were filed immediately after her release last year, leaving her husband to her husband to go on hunger strike. nazarenes, very radcliffe has always denied the allegations against him. i still ahead on this news our requesting asylum, why ukrainians and fashions and lining up at the us border with mexico and in

people. this war has turn nearly 3000000 ukrainians and refugees with numbers growing every single day. and that's on top of the 12000000 people require you monetary assistance inside of your current. united states is helping the lead, the globally amount of term response with our partners. in europe and well beyond your just the past few weeks, we provided nearly 293000000 dollars in the amount of turn, assistance to people in ukraine and in neighboring countries. are experts are on the ground and poland in a neighboring countries where the vice president just came back from to make real time assessments of a rapidly evolving crisis. get urgently the manager and supplies to the people in need. now, where left an emergency release supplies in new stadium, physicians in the region, supplies like high thermal blanket, water treatment equipment so that they can be shipped in the ukraine. we're

us through about what's in this spending bill for ukraine. people that the u. s. president giving us a little bit more of an idea of what this money will be used for. it will have 2 components, security as well as humanitarian, the u. s. president saying that this money will be used to give the ukranian people the tools to further their support and defend themselves. but being very cryptic about it, essentially saying that he will have more to say about that tomorrow. meaning wednesday, it's unclear why the u. s. president not being specific right now, but this is echoing what the press secretary jen. saki also said in her press briefing, it's clear that the u. s. president is wanting to make a major announcement about something with regard to security assistance. and so is holding back the details of that information. now with respect to the humanitarian

side, the you as president saying that this money will be used for things like thermal blankets of food and even clean drinking water. but it's clear that the u. s. president wants to see that the refugee centers, where people are fleeing to in neighboring countries, for example, as well as in you frame that this security assistance or humanitarian assistance rather, is really roundtop so that the people can get the assistance that they need. as a result of what you heard, the president saying, there is putin's war and the president is also expected to travel to, to brussels next week. kimberly the u. s. president, we understand, and we just learned in the last hour or so, according to the white house press secretary, the u. s. president has a new addition to his travel schedule, and that is an unexpected trip to attend the nato summit or a nato summit on march 24th in brussels belgium. this is in order to attend

like brewing by concrete throwing at the united states and those various others with different stories. but the same sort of thing, they protested against the war and they had to play russia while they're here, rob them in europe because they say that basically europe can close got to live right now to their own choice was to get to mexico where they didn't need a visa and from here to try and cross over into the united states. so a differing story that they b ukrainians have been allow it to want to restore this morning low. that wasn't happening before the russians who have been told to wait and they've been told to wait, they don't know until when to see if they'll be allowed in the united states. and meanwhile, they're just sleeping here by the entry boy john, thank you for that. john home and reporting their life from tiquana near the border with the united states. benjamin use of course, on the war in ukraine on our website at al jazeera dot com. we've got a special page up with all the latest updates on the conflict analysis as well in

what so strikes me most is that this is exactly what we would expect to find if you did an investigation that looked at the behavior of me and mars military. the, this is been exactly what every other independent or united nations investigation has found that men miles military has no respect for the human rights of the people . if me and my that they've undertaken a systematic abuse of human rights. i mean, appalling targeting all civilians amid is a pretty tough read this report. it documents the way civilians including children, were deliberately targeted by men, most military. it talks about the uses of torture, the detention of people arbitrarily. in this been 1600 people did detained in memo, about a quarter of them die in custody. this, this is pretty serious. and this is the behavior that we have come to expect from me in most military. they. we saw this when the united nations human rights camps

who investigated. they're forced deportation of the review again 2017 and talked about war crimes and genocide and crimes against humanity. and we're seeing it again, a western countries, rone, and have imposed broad sanctions on the military and its businesses. but, but they don't seem to have deterred the military and it's crackdown. what else do you think the international community should be doing? what action could, could the un for example take was pretty clear that the sanctions haven't been enough. and this report actually calls for steps towards accountability and, and a stronger reference to the international criminal court. the united nations security council straight away should be referring me and mars generals to the international criminal court. these people need to know that they will face accountability and will, will face justice. because if that's not before them, they will continue to target civilians. the other thing that the report calls for

is limiting the ability of the generals to continue to buy weapons. the needs to be in arms embargo. it seems appalling, that after 12 months of rights violations and the targeting of civilians by me and my military, that they're still able to freely buy more weapons, more guns, and more bullets which they're using against their country civilians. the report calls for that. i mean there's, there's plenty here for the united nations security cancer to address. i think the people that me and mar expect that they'll, that, that this will be addressed by the un security council. and i think the very confused as to why it is that when this been report after report for the un documenting egregious human rights violations against ordinary people, civilians, children that the hasn't been strong direction by the security council. ronan, thank you very much for talking to us about this for ron and li, live there from land. the high court judges in the indian state of cum nautica have
