. the west of the country has avoided the worst of the violence, but the largest single missile attack so far happened at a military training camp in yahveh or if only about an hour's drive away from here . resident say that unless there is a cease fire, it's not a matter of if, but when the fighting makes its way here. then basra b o g 0 livia. while thousands have managed to get out of my poll using a humanitarian corridor, but hundreds of thousands remain trapped there without food or water. i submit it gets more from jenny for was the local authority. there has said that the russians have talked to this theater, where around 10021200 people was sheltering now. mario pole has been under siege. this is the city of 400000 is the strategic port city that lies between the russian back separatist region of done fast to the east and crimea, and peninsula to the side that was annexed by russia in 2014. that they have been several attempts to try and get aged to that city. now these humanitarian code,

those are opened up on monday and continue through to choose day. but this latest news that we're hearing now is that this theater was bombed. these are the kinds what the ukrainian authorities are and around 10021200 people who are in it at the time. and as for these humanitarian code, those we're hearing that around 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 reach a 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 talking convoys. yesterday we were in suffer richer. we spoke to many people though of coming. there were a coming that escaped to fighting. they were exhausted and 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 shelly. meanwhile, russian forces are believed to be closing in on the port city of odessa, by land and sea. taking ukraine's 3rd largest city would effectively cut the rest of the country off from the black sea. but a city is prepared. hold on, bill, humming has more from odessa in southern ukraine. ah, the russian invasion is yet to reach odessa. but here is a feeling that is just a matter of time and not much longer to wait. oh, president vladimir zalinski has called an all ukrainians to join the war effort. and people like envy have lamb of who's an opera singer. have answered his call. it's ugly. are 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 caught up on was not to just, i didn't want to help us right now. they promised weapons more active involvement of the war fighter just now the u. s. is refusing and biden hasn't delivered. they are not closing the sky. they're not taking away russia's ability to bomb our peaceful cities and annihilate women must children and be elderly. but they are not protecting the humanitarian corridors from mario po. the city is frantically building its defenses. civic organizers say they have so far filled more than 400000 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 servant goes of day and night, but this city hasn't been directly hit. the sandbags made at the beach surround cultural and municipal buildings. and kili, part of tells me about the efforts to preserve what this says, cultural treasures move. but when you move away from group name, you know, we're talking about saving the heritage, ukrainian european russian. it doesn't matter. we're saving art with the museum in hockey was bombed. sadly the collection there was mostly lost. 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. if we want the world to know about that koreans o this has long been deprived of russia, was founded by catherine the great, the 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 . and at the hamid algebra, odessa, ukraine, president biden's common vladimir putin is a war criminal, had been called unacceptable, and unforgivable by the kremlin biden use a term just hours out of a lot of years. the lensky had addressed the u. s. congress. our white house correspondent kimberly hawk. it has more now from washington. after weeks 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, here's a war from you being 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 looked 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 helped europe? and zalinski went further appealing to president joe biden directly, even though biden has already rejected previous requests. as a leader of my nation, i'm addressing the president bother you are the leader of the name. oh yeah. i wish you me the leader of the all being the leader of the world 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. the lensky wants putting the white house and some congressional leaders in conflict. while i oppose a nato, no fly zone as 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. president putin says he's ready to talk about ukraine's neutrality . he said, russia can still meet his objectives in ukraine. he added that western sanctions against moscow will backfire in a very cowardly way. there are some cultures who have lived down. they are parcels, the great financial pressure 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 majors against them. time for a short break are now to sierra when we come back, we meet some of those looking for safe haven, the half a world away from the front lines in ukraine and head of a key court decision in cambodia. the government is accused of using coven 19 rules to stifle dissent. horner standards ah ah,

the hard dust plume across into europe, so rather dusty and hot. but for the south of this, it is a wet picture. it's dryer and western areas of southern africa, but it is very wet in the east heavy falls once again for mozambique as well as central areas of botswana. but further south we go, well it is finer and dryer with sunshine in cape town. that sure weather. oh, the weather sponsored by casara always feeling the debates. it is no job back. and if anyone here talks about women's rights or suggested, these abuse seem to have been said no. so pick it off the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way ticket street to help all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources and the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. be part of today's program this to eat on al jazeera. ah

addressed to the us congress by a lot of minutes. lensky, not more than 3000000 ukrainians have left their country looking for safe havens elsewhere in the world. some have traveled as far away as the united states southern border with mexico. john home and reports from to water. dasha her, mum, vera and dad are about to try and complete more than 10000 kilometer journey. this is what they fling from. they say these video show their hometown, nikolai, and ukraine. now via moved over and remain here. they've arrived at the midst can boot a town of peak one, the hope to get across that line. and in the united states, i was, it's been for you. it was hard. we was sleeping in the car by 3 night, staying in the queue to leave your brain. i mentioned to you the english speak. you're having a lot of the the logistics that she's 14. but all her

europe isn't an option. flights and countries are close to them, but not mexico, where they can get in by tourist visa then travel up to the one us. there are far more of them than ukrainians here. sleeping rough outside the entry point to try to pressure officials to let them in. so for the only word has been white, the united states has a public health folder in place because of the pandemic, which says that it can reject just about anyone who is asking for asylum apart from unaccompanied children. and what that means in practice, at entry points like this one is that it can really pick and choose who it let's in . and it seems that at the moment that's ukrainians. yes, this is the russians like the ones in the camp, not so much on the mexicans and central americans that say they've been living in unofficial conflicts over the years now with next to no hope of getting into the u . s. we found this family of 17 watching as the ukrainians went in ahead of them.
