ah. the warren ukraine takes us to the besieged city of mario paul. this, our officials say there are survivors. after that, russian as strike hit a theater, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. the bomb shelter in the theater reportedly held, but the number of casualties is not yet known. excuse me, the e u. s. condemned. the attack is reprehensible, but russia has denied any responsibility. let's have a look at the map for you. the areas in red as ever, are the ones under russian control. the cities which we will bring on now. they have seen the heaviest fighting and bombardment recently. russia says it's air force, city, ukrainian, arms, dep. oh. in the city of sunny and that is up in the far west. okay. same bathroom to get us started from the even west and ukraine. hi zane, mario, what do you tell us about this? because this is become a flash point,
4:03 pm
really the idea of this theater being bombed with so many people inside yes, that's exactly what we've been hearing from local officials via social media information . difficult to come by. because maria pull of course, remains under siege difficult to get help and difficult to get people out information trickling out as in when and can but local municipal leaders on social media saying that it's been a very, very stressful 24 hours with not a lot of information but now confirming that there have been survivors that the shelter under that theater that was attacked has held and people did survive still in the reports of any casualties or injuries. but right now everyone is seeing the number of 130 people being pulled out of their mothers and children, mostly as a little glimmer of hope in a city that has seen so much of violence, north of chief, constantly under attack, still not under russian control. but experiencing a great deal of been barred meant routinely. now, even though this is a small ray of sunshine, the fact is that this is a city where local officials count as many as more than 2000 people killed in these russian attacks. we've also seen
4:04 pm
a number of strikes overnight on the capital. keep an range of brutal violence ongoing throughout the country, but some tend to stand out more than others. if you'll recall, reports yesterday from church gave of 10 people standing in the queue waiting for bread. who are killed in a rush in attack while waiting in that bread line. that's just a small number of the total that died intern give yesterday. 53 people, including a family of 53 children, and 2 parents that were in a basement during a showing all of them killed in that, showing their bodies remove this morning. ok, thank you for all those updates zane bus robbie in levine. let's concentrate on keys now. the sound of explosions have been heard again in the ukrainian capital on thursday morning. at least one person killed after part of the missile, which was shot down then hit an apartment block. russian bombing in the early hours is becoming
4:05 pm
a regular occurrence in keith. moscow's kept up it's bombardment of ukraine cities, even as the talks between the 2 sides do seem to make some progress here as a report from iran con his innkeeper at the scene of that apartment, that was hit. understandably, residents, incredibly shaken, just before 5 a. m. in the morning, an air raid siren went off and the residence of this area left the rooms in their apartments and went into the lobby. and then a cruise missile was shot down overhead. this is where it landed. the damage is spread across a very wide area. this building here you can see the damage the entire front of the building. there's another. busy building about 500 dollars, 500 meters over there, and then another one over here. now the way these estates were designed in the sixties and seventies is they were very much designed around the community. so you have these apartment blocks and then you have a children's play area. you had a kindergarten, you had a school. so once again,
4:06 pm
got really frightened residents who heard the air raid siren and absolutely panic. the cleanup operations are now taking place. ah, we just, we were here, but 4 minutes ago when people were checking out the damage they cause we take a look, all of these smashed cars around here as well. now we're hearing that one person was killed. ah, 4 people were injured and 65 people have been evacuated. now keith is actually 50 percent evacuated at the moment, but the more these attacks happen no more. these incidents take place the more residents are leaving, or in fact, we're hearing that a lot more residents or have left in the last couple of days. we've been covering these attacks now every day for last 4 or 5 days, or missiles landing artillery shells. landing missiles being intercepted overhead is all just adding to the nervousness. people are feeling in their own homes, from keith to odessa,
4:07 pm
where russian forces are believed to be closing in on the port city by land and sea . taking what is ukraine's 3rd largest city would effectively cut the rest of the country off from the black sea. but the local say they're ready hot abdul hamid with this report now from odessa. oh, 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 could almost have to just, they didn't want to help us right now. they promised weapons more active
4:08 pm
involvement of the war fighter jets. now the u. s. is refusing and 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. 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, as under said some 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.
4:09 pm
ah, back in town, the air simon goes off, 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 their says cultural treasures. most of 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 last. 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, 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,
4:10 pm
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 law. meet algebra, odessa, ukraine. we haven't talked to hannah last in odessa, director of security programs at ukrainian prison, which is a think tank to that. she told us the city is huge a significant for moscow, but it won't be easy to take the are not able to attack and just wanted you. because you see is also individual minds of the navy prepared. so would be not the working for them. the call was the landing ship as well. now there are several sheets at the anchorage saying just the truth were what they need the lab work and to get the plan support. they need to control the whole territory from craig the a few. oh, that's what that's ultimately 400 kilometer and asked when i was, you can see nikolai, and that sound to death,
4:11 pm
us sending the fun things. we are telling here the defense is not on the mic alive, but they are as well. but also from the north, luckily, the goal from the control of the cranium armed forces. so as when i was rushing the need to be, are conducting several try for days. not only that they sell, but again, just region predominantly on the south that are trying to distract the sanction. caldwell where there is no real attack were sold again for now. oh, that's a very what i'm sorry. so when motional to the russians iteration, because of being the 3rd biggest, fallen in the russian empire, i mean, is all the time also people, the attraction of gifts, russia, speakers or a russian history. so definitely, you know, death runs there and it will be the glory of the safety of the russian world that is returning to russia. but these russian, quite a few 3. that's what you can hear very often in the president,
4:12 pm
june statement about the south of ukraine. let's look at russia now and earlier. the foreign ministry spokeswoman outlined moscow's conditions for declaring a cease fire. the minute it is that our purpose is quite clear. key will have to realize they have to agree to carry out demilitarization and d, nationalization. the sooner the key regime realizes this, the sooner the war will end. we call on president zalinski to think about the life of the country and its citizens and make the necessary decisions. let's go to moscow and bring in bernard smith, high bernard, there, criminal speaking over. there had been commas in the kremlin since then, using the word traitor. take us through that. well, this was after vladimir putin gave a speech, or on wednesday about the war. and to day dmitri pass golf, his spokesman of the kremlin, he's accused people of being traitors. ready won though,
4:13 pm
those are the ones who resign their jobs in russia, leave the country and go and live overseas. and he says that they are abandoning russia, are now traitors. and he said this after patent. vladimir putin used the same word and said the west wanted to use it a 5th column to try and destroy the country. this was ruddy, may putin coming down very hard on the many thousands of russians who left this country because their fearful about the future. those with the means and the wherewithal. the visas and the money of either gone some money to fin land, many countries around russia, georgia, armenia, a do by for others. many have gone there because they feel in their opportunities diminishing here in russia with the sanctions which will lead to large widespread unemployment. people seeking their fortunes elsewhere. and this was what brought in a boot and it dmitri passcode. we're referring to, i say, okay,
4:14 pm
why are we talking fortunes? i want to ask you, bernard about sovereign debt, which seems an odd thing to ask about in the middle of awards. but russia's economic situation is precarious. it is, and there was a fear there was speculation that russia would not honor some of its debts. it has honored 2 debts to de total of a $117000000.00 in interest was paid on to european loans. it's a tiny amount, a drop in the ocean really are in terms of finances for a country the size of russia, but it's symbolic. had it defaulted, that would have been the 1st time since the revolution in 1917 am russia. although it's many avenues to accessing its foreign cash reserves have been cut off. there are still ways it can move money around and is decided to honor this debt. russia's got about $67640000000000.00. i beg your pardon in reserve cash reserve is glossed access. what?
4:15 pm
half of that are still these 300000000000 and he's been able to dip into that, to pay off this debt, which le russia has decided in the future, will therefore show that it's still good for loans and still honors its debts. thank you. bernard smith, for those updates from moscow now ukraine's president vladimir lance has been given a standing ovation in germany's parliaments. he urged chance allah shelves to do more, to bring an end to russia's invasion. and is warned. the european countries that they care more about their economies than the lives of regular ukrainians. his address to the underside came a day after a speech to the u. s. congress. until then, i suggest that little we are fighting for our lives and for our freedom. it is not the berlin wall, it is the war between having freedom and not having freedom in europe with every bomb and every decision not made that could have helped us. this wall is getting
4:16 pm
bigger. we asked about what ukraine can do to join nato and getting security guarantees. and the answer we received is that it isn't on the table. now you question whether ukraine should join the, you know, yes for some, this is politics. but for us, it is souls for the new why that has done attain in berlin to take us through these developments dominate lamesa landscape, talking to a lot of parliaments at the moment, all over the world from keith. what was distinctive about what he said to the germans? what president zalinski has been doing camel is tailoring the choice of language to suit the forum in which he is speaking. so when he was in the house of commons talking to that, when he was broadcasting virtually in the house of commons, i should say in the u. k, he used church chilean words. winston churchill words here in berlin when he was projected into the bonus tag. he talks the sorts of words that have been spoken in the city before. appealing to chancellor shots to tear down the wall. the wall that
4:17 pm
he was referring to. we just heard in that clip there will tear down the wall. those words used by president ronald reagan here in west berlin flanked by the van west german chancellor. helmut kohl in the 1980s. he also said, president zalinski that is talked about in germany. it's called a lift booker, which for most people in the english speaking world, that's a reference to the air left that saved west berlin. in the late 19 forties after styling and the soviet union had decided to isolate west berlin from the rest of the free world. so clearly the language that president zalinski has been choosing is tailored to suit the forum in which he is speaking virtually as it were digitally. but let's be clear, he's been appealing each time he appeals to the relevant country for more assistance. and in this particular instance, he's trying to get a no fly zone and that reference to nato and the
4:18 pm
e u. but he knows that he's going to have real difficulty getting any of those things. although of course, the e u is considering candidate status for ukraine. dominic, would you just stay there for a 2nd? for me, please. i want to bring in a clip from the nato secretary general un stolen berg who's also speaking today. warning against the escalating nato has a responsibility to prevent this conflict from escalating further. that would be even more dangerous and would cause more suffering, death, and destruction. this is president. putin swore he must stop the war. withdraw his forces and engage in the book in diplomacy in good faith. dominic, what's the installment trying to achieve in berlin? what's he building towards? well, there are 3 different meetings. the dns shot and back sector general of nato has
4:19 pm
either already had or is having here in berlin today with mr. shaw shots, the chancellor, but also then with the defense minister, languished. and then finally with foreign minister bow bach. and in each of those meetings, he's touching on the different elements that his role that nato's role and the role they can play is and how germany fits into that role. these are v ukraine. remember, the german government is already committed small than a 100000000000 euros. is of new money being plowed into defense, raising the amount of money in the budget devoted to defense, to 2 percent and beyond meeting that commitment that angler mccall signed up to in south wales in 2014 at the nato summit. then that was the big bug bar for the obama administration and the trump administration. so the germans saying that meeting that commitment, we know that in the course of the last few days, germany has already said that it's going to be acquiring dozens of f. 35 jets from
4:20 pm
the united states to bolster its defensive role. and to provide assurance reassurance to nato countries. so watch trachtenberg is doing in berlin now is to a certain extent flying the flag for ne, so, but also getting a sense of the feeling here. what the german ministers are saying to him privately . what's being said publicly, and then how that can be used to bolster nay, so on. it's east and flank. thank you dominant cain for all of that from berlin today. let's talk about military i. there's a long list of countries sending stuff to you at the moment, the us by far the largest weapons supply or the latest delivery worth more than $3000000000.00. the pentagon also helped train ukraine's army armed forces for years. the u. k. send millions of dollars of weaponry including the staff streak their cold stone street, anti aircraft missiles. then you've got germany, one of several countries which reversed its policy,
4:21 pm
a refusing to supply lethal aid before the war, sweden and finland, which aren't in the nato alliance of departed from their cautious dance as well. in russia, they sent a salt rifles, an antique tank weapon, his frank led, which a senior lecturer and military capabilities and strategy at the university of portsmouth, explaining how the conflict might play out. at least in the near future. one capability has been supplied and i suspect is being asked for now and will be supplied a medium range missiles. now will have far more effect if it's delivered, then the 15 or 20 make 29th of the subject that debate last week. and i would suspect that the country supplying most people generate romania, finland. these will be soviet missiles so that you can, the forces won't need to spend a long term training on a more, more modern path, slightly more effective devices. those medium range, which will increase the printing capability significantly,
4:22 pm
allowing them to threaten rushing. i think that what's happened here is that the russian attack in military terms culminated essentially that's going to start with a logistics and an order, say weaponry. they have, they brought into the country. i think that doesn't necessarily mean it stole. what we say now is what's called an operational polls. i say in colloquial terms that act together, which they have not had largely due to the very poor planning assumptions in the early part of the campaign. so that'd be working frantically to try and get weapons to try and get the planning sorted out. and to, to understand where is that going next cost ukrainians have a saying, which is why i was talking to see cancer taxed by your credit courses seem to be having some effect more than 3000000 ukrainians have now left their country looking for safe havens elsewhere. and the world's believe it or not, some have traveled as far as the united states,
4:23 pm
the southern border with mexico. and john home has their stories from do you wanna dasha her mother, vera and dad are about to try and complete more than 10000 kilometer journey. this is what they fling from as they say. these video show the hometown, nikolai and ukraine. now via move over and remain yet they've arrived at the met can bought a town of p one the hope to get across the 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 ukraine. i mentioned to you the english speak. you haven't a lot of the logistics that she's 14. but all horrific can still be for nothing. they've been reports of ukrainian refugees being turned away. they have to decide what do they want, much and then let in what we saw, several of the ukrainian families, similarly,
4:24 pm
usher food seems here. the blue passports become the ticket through, by the way. and the red, one of russia is proving less effective, a small kind of dissidence from that country was stuck outside the gate asking for asylum to after opposing the war compensation. mike is also half ukrainian and he's frightened to being conscripted to fight against the country where he is family. 24 february might come to a tech great, really. my browser. leave it so could suck for me. for the russian, see, 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
4:25 pm
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. their green passports carry little weight on the ground that told me they fled south with mexico after he was kidnapped to be out of the way the rest of the family friend. that was 2 months ago. you feel bad because you can see that they
4:26 pm
give priority to another country. how am i going to feel that? but what can we do? that's going to be a constant question for the desperate in countries neighboring the united states. as a white and others go 1st, i think you cream but at least exhausted ukrainians like gotcha. and better a finding a safe haven. they called us from her gulf of his house in los angeles. was the wind in this moment for a long time. we were interested in it's like john holman al jazeera tiquana. we'll grab a break on the news our shortly, but 1st kara with the weapon. hello there. we'd seen cooler, unsettled conditions across levant, and those of extended down into much of the middle east over the past few days. they're going to continue, at least until saturday. you can see that wet and windy weather, putting across turkey, wintery weather here, edging down into syria, lebanon,
4:27 pm
and further afield. temperatures in this area are slightly below the average. we are going to see that cooler weather continue, and it's cool down for those gulf states, places like guitar, the u. a and saudi arabia. thanks with shamar wind. that's kicking up a lot of dust creating hazy sunshine, but come saturday, we will start to see the temperatures recover though the wind will remain on it's going to remain windy across the north of africa. we're going to see the wind pick up for places like libya, we could see some sandstorms here, and it's gonna turn rather wet for much of algeria. and she is here by the time we get into saturday. so it's cooler up in the north, hot down in the south, much of the wet weather. we have to move to think that central band of africa, we've got the seasonal rains. we've also think the more dramatic rain thanks to the end of that fi clone. that's pulling through mozambique, heavy rain for botswana that's edging down into south africa and we'll see the temperature come down in cape town. but sunshine through the weekend car. a. thank you for that, sir. still
4:28 pm
a hit on this news are crack down in cambodia. we'll hear who's accusing government leaders of using the corona virus emergency to stifle dissents. nigeria, multi $1000000000.00 plans to help boost its economy are on track. literally. and in sport, liverpool moved to within a points of the leaders at the top of the english, tremulous ah, pick, take 2 ships to democracies. activists to corporations. control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want you to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil, please for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content. you could see you on al
4:29 pm
jazeera, a dangling the headline. what is the situation there right now? it's worse than any kind of night that you could have as a result, unflinching journalism. what is it telling us about india? it's telling us that we're going down a very, very beans. it is sharing personal stories with a global audience. here i am meeting with people sharing the same struggles, sharing the same stories, explore an abundance of world class programming on al jazeera. ah ah, here on the news are here al jazeera and these are the top stories. officials in the besieged ukrainian city of murray palm say there are survivors. after a rush,
4:30 pm
an air strike hit a theater, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. a number of casualties, though still not known. at least one person that had been killed after part of an intercepted missile hit an apartment block in ukraine's capital keith moscow. keeping up it's bombardment of ukraine cities even as talks between the 2 sides. progress and members of germany's parliament had given a standing ovation to ukraine's president. but miss zalinski, who urged more german help to end russia's invasion from mcbride. now to wrap up all the latest developments for us, for this key of neighbourhood, another early morning awakening from the war. an incoming missile was intercepted with falling debris, killing a resident below. people in cities on the front line like hearing cock eve, continue to bear the brunt. parents of children at this shattered school have come
4:31 pm
together to try and restore classrooms. on the home for sleeper sofa actually came to help. he heard that search a catastrophe happened and i don't know how to describe it, what it's in human resources. there's more fierce fighting on the streets of the southern port of mary. you poll with the destruction of a theatre where ukrainian say more than a 1000 civilians were sheltering the russians deny targeting the building was as a rental credit room. so the only way to describe what has happened today is genocide, corner, genocide of our nation. your, your in store? hundreds more people have finally managed to escape the siege of murder. you pull, such as lydia, who spent 2 weeks in her basement without he till running water. the whole place is destroyed. she says. and little bruno, we still had corpses there, didn't take the bodies away for 7 days, and started to stink already. it was scary,
4:32 pm
very scary for throttle, which was ha, and at the main church for the military and the western city of live a funeral for another soldier killed in conflict. while this war continues to arouse condemnation of the russian invasion on the world stage here in ukraine, each death locally seems only to strengthen the resolve to join the fight. outside le viv more training for volunteers. this soldier calls himself cream meaning crimea. dog. he says he left his home on the peninsula when it was seized by russian forces in 2014 and is vowing not to be moved on again. um, now the vive is my home. i'm more interested in a democracy than in a totalitarian state of 2011. these volunteers will soon join. others like former international tennis player, said geese, they're kosky,
4:33 pm
who says he had no choice, but to put on a uniform and pick up a gun. even if i will be gabriel of shooting killing, someone is marking you on your life. so i don't believe that any of the ukrainians are willingly doing it. but we do have an issue with both sides, seemingly unable to find a way out as the war goes into its 4th week. casualties are mounting all around us . rob mcbride, al jazeera live british military intelligence says russia's invasion of ukraine has in fact stalled, across the country. a resistance faced by invading forces has been staunch, well coordinated according to the intelligence, but court. ah, he is not in bother in london, nadeem. take us 3 more of this report will come out. this is just the latest intelligence update from the ministry of defense here in britain and apart from the points you've just raised, it says that red russian forces have made minimal progress on land,
4:34 pm
sea or air in recent days. and they continue to suffer heavy losses. now just on wednesday night, there was a previous, some intelligence update which said as a result of russian forties basically failing to achieve their aims at the start of the invasion on the 24th of february. it is likely russia is resorting to the use of older, less precise weapons which are less, militarily effective and more likely to result in civilian casualties or goodness knows as we've just been seeing. in rob's report, this civilian casualties are mounting up and causing earth. huge grief across the country are not just the siege of mary apple, but in terms of heavy shelling of many cities, including hark eve. even though those urban centers remain under the control of the ukrainian government, the death tolls are extremely alarming. and the capital key of, of course, while it hasn't been hit in the center and the resistance,
4:35 pm
the ukrainian forces are trying to keep the russians out of artillery range of the center. certainly, satellite towns or m suburbs of kids have experienced term targeting of civilian civilian as residential areas. so it's clearly not the case that the russians are being thwarted means that the war has been ground to a halt. that things have swung in foot in the favor of ukraine, and certainly their president continues to argue that they need more equipment and a no fly zone, of course, which doesn't seem to be a likely prospect in the near future. but on wednesday, britons or defense minister ben wallace did say that britain as well as supplying auntie tank weaponry which we knew about up to now, is now supplying ukraine with star streak anti aircraft, missiles and analysts just saying that this could be an important move in the
4:36 pm
absence of actually foreign powers flying above ukraine's air space. the, the, the fact that the west will be bolstering ukraine's ability to shoot down aircraft might actually be significant. thank you. not a baba for that update in london. we're going to move to some other world news now and to british, iranians have arrived back in the u. k. after spending years in detention in iran as an insecurity. ratcliffe and anesha assuring were convicted a plus to overthrow re runs government, but always denied the allegations. the rebut, manley has our port. this is nazarenes ari right class. from spending years in an iranian prison, she is now free and home with her family. she to ride with the ari of bryce norton, an oxford chair, and the early hours of the morning. britton's foreign secretary was there to greet her. well, 1st of all, it's fantastic to see
