but the ukranian authorities and around 10021200 people who are in it at the time. and as for these humanity incurred those we're hearing better and 20000 people have been evacuated from mario poll. and we've also heard that a convoy was a hit by heavy artillery according to the governor of this up to richer region. and there were 5 people injured, an eye including a child that was injured seriously. now they have been allegations against russian forces that they have been targeting convoys. yesterday we were in suffer richer. we spoke to many people though of coming. they were coming there that escaped the fighting. they were exhausted, i'm tired. and we also spoke to a bus driver who go goes into these areas to help people evacuate. and now he said that many times that they've had to stop their bosses because they've come under fire. and there's been heavy shilling. russian president vladimir putin says he is ready to discuss ukraine's neutrality,

even though he insists the military operation is going to plan in a televised address. he also acknowledge the pain western sanctions are causing russia but wound they will backfire in a very cowardly way. there are some cultures who have looked down their bottles. the great financial crucial against russia have been noticed. and we will do what we can to make sure that the new package of sanctions, i guess russia will be met by our meters against them. a russian women, his stormed alive, television news broadcasted, announced the ukraine war says she's worried for her safety, but has no plans to flee. marina of sienna cova, who worked at state own channel, one charged on to the sat with a sign showing an anti war message. she was arrested and find $280.00. that admits she could face jail time in the future. she joins a growing list of journalists who resigned from croak pro kremlin news outlets since the invasion ha,

the war and ukraine was the final point of no return for me. it's beyond the pale and it was impossible for me to remain silent any more. an ordinary people like me, ordinary russian, women need to do something about it. every one in russia needs to do something about it. well, anna mat, viva is a russian affairs and listen. she joins us live from a, from london, and thank you for speaking to al jazeera, who we saw the protest from the journalist at channel one and her please, for russians to protest against the war. has there been any change in the way the war is being viewed in russia? any sense? mal russians are questioning their government's narrative. there is a settlement in the middle class professionals, some people state employment and civil service and intellectuals, cultural figures who have been questioning and who have been against this war from that they stopped assessing information on

telegram or also so waste, also accessing western science. and so in that sense, they have been very well aware, but that is that a little they can do about the society by life is still just waking up to the enormity of what's happening. they are relying on safety and state to be presented just with a this of those which you just out like in money on one and also you know, how to keep exactly the opposite. saying that this is ukrainian side. what has been responsible for this across that is we don't really know the facts because we are hearing one side of the story. the actual audience is hearing the other side of the story at the, for what, what, it's impossible to say, actually what are the facts on the ground. so we have not seen

a real hardship being late on, on that irrational public, which depends on the state subsidies, people who work in factories which are going to probably be closing down then perhaps it will be a bit more aware of. so they tend to be of the state. and what about sanctions today was the 1st time we heard police and acknowledge the sanctions are beginning to bite. how is life changed? wouldn't russians in the wake of sanctions for middle class or high level professionals, especially for everybody who had anything to do with the western globalized world? this is ariel see of change because many people are trying to leave those people who can relocate their businesses. they do so, so many people are facing prospect of losing jobs, losing business is losing life prospect losing

a prosperous way to cation of their children and sharing that. and it being part of a globalized society. but we have not seen mass employment. we have not seen the deficit of basic goods. we have not seen any cues. so this, this things to which may come, but they are not reality yet. what did he make of payton's comments in regard to assist possible si, fi agreement? do you sense a change of tone when it comes to those negotiations? put in have always said that he wanted and she said he wanted settlement on his terms. that's fair enough because if they ask, it also wants the same. he also wants them to work on his terms, whether this terms are started to become closer to each other and becoming more and is the best hope and let us support the peace process as much as we can and pull piece more and talk what less and peyton also said that everything

is going to plan well, that's obviously patently untrue. but do you think patient ever had a plan b? oh, always had several plans, but in the end he listens to different people. so he will decide what seems to be a according to his logic of the moment. so in that sense then will some reassessment, but then it is. but what i will do, please, what now probably hinge what is the position of the ukrainian or russian and more met at the pressure they have the resources, but they can also hold on with any major while from what you see, how things will be boy. so yeah, kind of a still very much on the table and i'm at lever russian analysts. thank you for

your insights. thank you. well still to come this half hour, the ukrainian seaside city that was once the pride of the soviet union. it is now preparing for an invasion and a desperate plea for yemen. the un says funding for the world's was manmade. humanitarian crisis has fallen. $3000000000.00 short. ah hello there. let's start in australia. we've got a cold front pulling across the south, bringing storms and showers to victoria and new south wales. we could see some flash flooding where that rain falls heaviest, but for sydney escaped the rain on thursday. the wet weather will arrive from friday for the north of this brisbin, while it remains dry with

a theater where an estimated 1000 people was sheltering. the number of casualties is not yet known. earlier russian rockets hit a convoy fleeing the city in drink 5 people. the u. s embassy and keith says russian forces have shot the 10 ukrainians while they were queuing for bread in china. have the international court of justice has ordered russia to immediately cease military operations in ukraine. the kremlin has labeled comments by the us president unacceptable. an unforgivable of to joe biden cooled vladimir putin, a war criminal by didn't use the terms. hours after ukraine's president gave an impassioned plea to the u. s. congress, asking for more help against deadly russian warplanes. a white house correspondent, kimberly how could report after weeks of violent attacks by russia on ukrainian civilians, u. s. president joe biden, for the 1st time called russia's vladimir putin, a label that until now,

the white house has been hesitant to use. oh, it is war from you. even the president initially avoided the term, given its legal implications, and an official review of put into actions by the state department is still incomplete. biden's remarks followed a morning of high drama, beginning with an emotional video shared with the u. s. congress by ukraine's president vladimir zalinski. ah, it featured images designed to evoke a response of what ukraine looks like just weeks ago before it was attacked by russia. it was part of the ukrainian president's virtual plea to u. s. law makers to do more to help his country resist russia's military invasion. remember, pearl harbor that terrible morning of december, the 7th. 1941. remember september,

the 11th. reviving memories of when the united states was also under attack, zalinski again pressed congress for a no fly zone over his country to create a no fly zone to save people. is this too much to ask aircraft that can help ukraine help europe. and zalinski went further appealing to president joe biden directly, even though biden has already rejected previous requests. as the leader of my nation, i'm addressing the president by then you have the leader of the name. yeah. i wish you the, the leader of the all being the leader of the vault means to be the leader office, but balis a no fly zone, could lead to a direct confrontation with russia. add to possible nuclear war. he again resisted

zaleski, please, instead announcing 800000000 in additional security assistance for ukraine, anti aircraft, and anti armor systems, small arms and drones, more of what the u. s. has already been providing. united states and our allies and partners are fully committed to surgery, weapons of assistance to the ukraine and moral becoming as we source additional stocks of equipment that are all that were ready to transfer. but the new aid package stopped short of the mig fighter jets and the no fly zones. alecky wants putting the white house and some congressional leaders in conflict. while i oppose a nato no fly zone, i support enthusiastically, the sending of mig aircraft from poland to the ukrainian air force so that can be more competitive in the skies. well, president biden has rejected the idea of

a no fly zone for now. it is still under consideration and will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion when the u. s. president has to brussels next week for a special meeting of nato leaders. kimberly help get al jazeera, the white house, or russian forces, i believe, to be closing in on the port city of odessa, from several fronts. ukraine's 3rd largest city would be a key prize for russia effectively cutting the rest of the country off from the black sea, but its residents have had time to prepare for what seemed as an inevitable attack . had abdul hamid has more from odessa in southern ukraine? blue, the russian invasion is yet to reach odessa. here is a feeling that is just a matter of time and not much longer to wait. oh. 5 president vladimir zelinski has holden all ukrainians to join the war effort. and

people like envy have lamb, of whose an opera singer have answered his cold. it's ugly r for dan, maybe 20 here. he thinks that it's going to be a long war despite ongoing negotiation. and complaints that ukraine has been left to fight alone on you. you got that one, which was just, i didn't want to help us right now. they promised weapon it's more active involvement of the war fighter jessica. now the u. s. is refusing by them hasn't delivered, they are not closing the sky. they're not taking away rushes ability to bomb our peaceful cities and annihilate women must children and be elderly. but they are not protecting the humanitarian corridors from mario. the city is frantically building its defenses. civic organizers said they have so far filled more than $400000.00 sandbags. this is under threat from several fronts. the russian army is

trying to advance from the south while russian war ships are said to be approaching the coast. but it won't be so easy because the city is heavily fortified. long stretches of the shore line have been laid with land mines to delay any beached landing. capturing this port city would give russia control of the black sea and land lock ukraine. ah, back in town, the air simon goes of day and night, but this city hasn't been directly hid. the sandbags made at the beach surround cultural and municipal buildings. and kili, part of tells me about the efforts to preserve what there says cultural treasures. most of when you move away from grip. mm hm. oh, we're talking about saving the heritage, ukrainian european russian. it doesn't matter. we're saving art museum and hockey was bombed. sadly, the collection that was mostly launched. so it's

a part of the something that has been bothering me a lot. the ukrainian museums have to protect masterpieces of russian art from the russian aggression. it is a paradox. we want the world to know about that koreans, this has long been deprived of russia, was founded by catherine de great. this city has embraced its russian identity ever since. but with a war looming, those voices have gone all but silent in odessa. that was saved by the soviets during world war 2 is now getting ready to defend itself from its former protectors . but at the law, meet algebra odessa, ukraine. well, as we had earlier, the international court of justice has ordered russia to immediately cease its operation in ukraine. ukraine file the case against russia shortly after the invasion began. 3 weeks ago saying rushes justification was unfounded. moscow had claimed it was acting to stop genocide in easton ukraine. the russian federation must pending the final decision in the case suspend the military operations that

commenced on 24 february 2022 in the territory of ukraine. in addition to the specific measures, it has decided to order the court games is necessary to indicate an additional measure directed at both parties and aim good ensuring the non aggravation of the dispute. representatives from the international criminal court have been in ukraine collecting evidence for an investigation into possible war crimes by russian forces . i. c. c. prosecutor crim con. held talks as president lindsey on wednesday, where he said he'd found evidence of ukrainian suffering. the court launched a formal investigation earlier this month off the russian forces were accused of using cluster bombs to british radians detained in iran are on their way back to the u. k. now that means a guy, ratcliffe, and a new shea assuring have been freed off to spending years in detention accused of spying. a 3rd prisoner moran tobacco has been released on furlough to his house

details because that is confidential between the parties, but i have had this thoroughly checked out across government to ensure that we help these guarantees that it will be used for humanitarian purposes. soon to be reunited. looking forward to a future as a normal family. sunny guy. yeah, go out his era. a united nations appeal for aid. money for yemen has falling well short of its target. the un received only $1300000000.00 in pledges that's about $3000000000.00. short of what you monetary and chief martin griffith said was needed. the un estimates up to 19000000 people will need food aid this year. and yemen, which is entering its 7th year of civil war. griffith hasn't ruled out a 2nd funding drive later in the year. but let us be under no illusions. we hope from all we hope from all. and it is

a disappointment that we weren't able as yet to get pledges. from some we thought we might hear from 8 people have been rescued, but at least 15 a dead after landslide in northern peru, buried at least 60 homes, many who live in the top town of poor cory works in mines, peruse minute periods. president pedro castillo has called on the mining company, alameda to explain what caused the collapse shoreline, because president has promised to work with the international monetary fund in other countries to end its worst economic crisis in memory. it comes a day after protest is angry and got to buy a raja paxis handling of the crisis tried to storm his office in colombo for life because government is suffering from a shortage of foreign reserves, leaving it struggling to pay the imports of essential good medicine and food by japan, there is also able to limit the use of fuel and electricity. the us justice department
