workers are focusing on the most vulnerable, but many more need help from around the world. because an area that generally fees abundant rainfall but strong wind, lack of humanity are making it easy for fire like this one to spread all across. ah, witnesses say dozens of soldiers were killed when russia hid a ukrainian military barracks in the southern city of nikolai. ah, hasn't thinker in doha, the war in ukraine continues to dominate our coverage here as care. braces for another night of uncertainty. coming up by my side big and i'm you can give ukraine 2nd largest city has been pounded by russian forces for the last 3 weeks.

elsewhere russian tank is filled firing on a narrow street in marty you called southern port city the scene some of the worst attacks in the conflict. and off the years in development, russia says it's used then you hypersonic missile a 10 evacuation roots agreed between ukraine and russia. have given some civilians a chance to escape while russian forces lay siege to cities and bombard urban areas . this is the territory in red that russia and as separate as allies control more than 3 weeks after the invasion in the southeast, another convoy of evacuees has managed to escape deplorable conditions in the poor city of murder, you poll, which lies in ruins. russia apparently wants to use it as

a link between russian and next crimea, and the separatist held. don bass reached another city in the south. on the front line is nikolai of a rescue. efforts are on the way off. the russian attacks reduced buildings to rubble. dozens of ukrainian soldiers were reportedly killed after a strike, hit ami backs in the north of the city. first 2 reports, one from rob mcbride in the wave, who wraps up other developments around ukraine after this from asset bank in har cubes. well, this is one, the worst hit areas of hurricane. the 2nd largest city in ukraine had a population of one point. 5000000 students drastically reduced cuz many people have left. now this to the left of me here was a shopping mall. just take a look at that. now. this city has been pounded by the russians with strikes, shelling and artillery, and were standing right now was the center of the city. and you can just see that

is complete and utter destruction and devastation. now, the feeling that the russians thought that they could take this city without too much resistance, but they were forced out under the feeling by some head that now the russians are punishing this, since you have to be careful because the temperatures are well below 0, the still ice on the floor, this craters along here, these cars here have all been destroyed and damaged a bit further up the you can see the burn tack cause that were damaged the shelling and the artillery. and even while you've been here, we've heard loud thumps. i'm not sure if you can hear that now that's heavy artillery filing that fire and that's going gone all day and all night. and if you look a lot wrong along the horizon, you can see smoke rising from the heavy fighting that's taking place. now the russians pardoning the city really heavily for the last 2 weeks,

but the ukrainian forces are still holding act and hoping that they can keep the russians act. and it's like the across the east of the country with the russians, the fighting on multiple fronts. but i just want to take in some more of the devastation and destruction that has taken place here in the center of hurricane. you can see cars buried in the rubble when the buildings have collapsed on it. and even the trees here are destroyed and burnt out. it's really something are in the center of clark, if the 2nd largest city with the ukranian forces are still managing to keep the russians out. in her cave, in ne ukraine, a desperate search for survivors in the ruins of buildings. this front blind city has been pummeled since the start of the war. a man vlad his love

is pulled from beneath the rubble with just minor cuts. how do you feel? he is asked castilla here what was better than any won't come, was the reply at this destroyed army base in the southern city of mc alive, another search for survivors there from the streets of mario paul. the sounds of fierce fighting and also a voice of defiance. a ukrainian fighter appeals directly to the president of the us and france for air defense systems. some i love everybody because some of the policy you have promised there'll be helpful. give us that help save the civilian population. children, elderly people are dying. what did he finishes? by comparing their plight to the syrian city of aleppo you had, did you show the 11 with much of murder you, paul, lying in ruins, and completely surrounded by superior forces. ukraine says there is little it can

do militarily. not amendment was limited consequent jocelyn with new political to michelle, and no army of the world will be able to cross it. not even the u. s. army with the size of the forces we have now. unfortunately, using one of a number of humanitarian corridors operating in the country, an exodus of people has continued telling the same harrowing tale. lightly of opinion progress, there is no merrier poll. we sat in the cellar for 10 days and didn't leave once. there's been a new appeal from ukraine's president to end the war through dialogue with julius a little mosque. i want everyone to hear me, especially in moscow. the time has come to meet her not to talk, then she listening. and does this war grinds on? there's been the competing claims of progress by both sides. the ukrainian say they've been mounting counter attacks and have stopped russian forces surrounding the capital cave. for its part, russia says it is used

a new type of missile with an attack on an installation in the west of the country . get those work away. my other one is hypersonic ballistic missiles destroyed a big underground missile arsenal, along with aerial munitions of the ukrainian forces, the ukrainian se overstretched, russian forces are bogged down in much of the country and resorted to using badly trained recruits in the fight. the russians have released combat footage, showing that on the contrary, it's the ukrainians who are on the receiving end. rob mcbride al jazeera, levy's aven basra, the joys us alive now from las vegas in weston, ukraine, and zane. one more we hearing about what's happening and make alive in the rescue efforts there after that those army barracks were hit. it is really one of the most grim attacks we've heard reported so far,

early friday morning. rush and strike on army barracks in michel, i of that were capable of housing as many as 200 soldiers. that air strike has resulted in the deaths of dozens of soldiers who were sleeping in their bunks as many as 50 by some witness accounts were also hearing reports that that number may go as high as 100 rescue efforts are still under way largely recovery efforts what we're hearing from one of the witnesses on the ground is that it's the state of the remains of so many of the people that were at the barracks at the time are, are such that it's becoming difficult to get an accurate count of exactly how many people were killed or injured in that strike. so it gives you a sense of how grim the situation on the ground. there actually is nikolai of a strategic target, a strategic city in the, in the south of the country on the road to odessa on the black sea coast. odessa, of course, a place that is preparing itself for a potential strike by russia. certainly a primary strategic target for russian forces as part of this invasion of ukraine.

now, when it comes to places like that, the south of the country, we're seeing more and more attacks of this kind, especially on military targets. now, what are the other developments elsewhere in the countries in well, one of the sort of, you know, silver linings. a little bit of good news is that the negotiated humanitarian corridors are do seem to be holding the do seem to be working. the presence of the deputy prime minister of ukraine announced this morning that 10 humanitarian corridors had been open for people to escape to violence from all over the country . now mario pole is become the worst hit city in the last few days with the violence there. we know that at least 2000 people now have been able to escape from mario. ready pull to the relative safety of separation across the country. 15000 people have been able to be bust out or have taken convoys to take you make use of

these meditated corridors to try to get to some kind of safety. but volunteers on the ground are telling us that at once they are in jeopardy, it is up to people on their own to get further west or make their way into europe. and it's not just getting people from conflict zones into say, for parts of the country in russian occupied areas, it is also about getting aid to people who may be unable or unwilling to leave their homes. volunteers working to try to get age aid trucks to people that need it from new pro into care sun. we've been hearing that a trucks in the last few days have been stopped. russian forces have taken over the supplies, food supplies for children, all kinds of humanitarian aid. and now we're hearing the 14 trucks are stopped at the border of the cares on region of trucks that were meant to go from the pro, to people stuck inside that area. that needed the relief internally displaced now being stopped there by russian forces. zane,

thank he's aim bas robbie in levin in western ukraine. russia says it's been destroy ukrainian military targets with a high person with high precision weapons. it says it's use hypersonic missiles in west in ukraine for the 1st time, but that's not been independently verified. where's the local martha? the armed forces of the russian federation continued their special operation. on march 18 decorative issue massage system destroyed a large underground warehouse storing ammunition of the green troops. and you want to franka screech and tossing a bari is in moscow with more. this is a very new missile that has been used for the 1st time. and i think it's significant where it was used. it was used in the western region of ukraine in yvonne, a frank off ski, which shares a 50 kilometer long border with romania. that is a natal member country. you have to remember, let me put and had said in the past,

that's and is country has the most advanced missile hypersonic missiles and that russia is really pry, prides itself on having the advanced weaponry in its arsenal. and the use of this is significant because it really is another reminder to nato countries in the region that russia is willing to use whatever it has in its arsenal to achieve its mission in ukraine. vladimir putin on friday during that rally that they held in moscow said that we know what we have to do. we know how to do it and we know what we have to sacrifice in order to achieve our plans. this is yet another very significant and dangerous reminder that this country is willing to use whatever it has militarily to achieve its goals. they're in ukraine. when we come back on al

jazeera russians feel the bites of western sanctions that have cent price is soaring. and the u. s. criticize is the united arab emirates for hosting serious president ah ha, we're still got some rather when fi weather in to were parts of the middle east and all the parts in particular. the class still showing up here more snow just around the turkey pushing out to the black sea isn't over towards the caspian road across the caucuses. further south is cold enough to around the levant 10 or 11 celsius. if you're lucky. 30 degrees there in baghdad. no son of any cold here, starting to warm up just once again down across southern parts of the ravine peninsula. but notice wanted to show us there, the central and southern hearts of saudi arabia over the next day or so they should

clear through as we go one into monday as should the wintry stuff that we do have a little further north. but noticed jordan could catch a shower, maybe a roxy, one or 2 showers as we go on into the early part of next week, shall was lingering to across northern parts of africa and very brisk winds coming through here. other nasty weather on the cool side as well. if the dust and sand and we have got the showers, of course, into a west africa now pushing across liberia, sierra leone garner, i re coast southern parts of nigeria joining up with the showers that we have across the tropics. so showers extending their way down to was northern areas of madagascar that where to where the started to make his way into tanzania. ah, informed opinions that initial book on national resource by is not large enough to get there. i think what me do are people in depth analysis of the days global

headlines inside story on al jazeera, on the yellow pine plains of australia, snowy mountains. a bit of battle is taking place over whether the country's wall horses are a nationwide corn or pharaoh piss one on one east on el to 0. lou ah, hello again. you're watching 0 reminder off top stories to so rescue efforts are underway off to russian attacks. we'd use buildings to rubble in. nikolai of dozens of ukrainian soldiers were reportedly killed after a strike. hit all me back in the north of the city. in matter you paul,

despite russia's heavy bombardment, another convoy a civilian buses and causes managed to leave the besieged city. ukraine, says 10 humanitarian car doors were agreed on with the russians on saturday. russia's defense ministry says it's been destroying ukrainian military targets with high precision weapons and says it's use hypersonic missiles for the 1st time since this war began. that cannot be verified. russia's president vladimir putin has laid out his demands for an end to the war in ukraine during a phone call with turkish liter wretched type. edwin, according to those on the cool putin one's key is to accept that it should be neutral and not to join nato. is demanding a face to face, meeting with ukrainian president of water damage landscape before agreeing to a peace deal. abraham kellen is turkey's presidential spokesman. he was part of the small group of officials who had listened in on the call. the negotiation teams are getting closer and closer, even though there is no

a final written agreement at this point. but as they do their work on this, as they bring their positions closer to one another, i think the like a meeting between the 2 leaders will be increased because it's only true that strategic level meeting that a piece deal a permanent piece that terminal to fire can be established, the russian demand there for the recognition of the next session of crimea on the, on the russia. and also the recognition of the so called independence of the 2 republics in the dawn bus region. these are the 2 main issues. and i think they, they are the most difficult compared to the other 4. and of course, as far as your range territories and figure in subway is concerned, they are not acceptable or the grains also for the international committee that will be a violation of those principles just like therefore they have, they will have to come up with some different ideas, i know some different ideas had been proposed in regards to crimea as well as at

dawn. but i know it's kind of a better idea at this at this point. but because we are in the middle of this worn out, but the misc agreement that was put together some years ago, it was designed precisely to address these issues in the dorm bus region. i don't see any reason why that means get agreement, even though, as i said, it's been rather better than weekend. there should not be given another chance or something like the new agreement that will address the, the russian population and living in the best region in ukraine. but this has to take place in our view within the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the state of ukraine. russians are only just starting to see the impact of the war on their economy as sanctions and international isolation begin to bite their from inflation to supply chain logistics. every corner of the economy will likely feel the effect that smith has more from moscow. every copay,

counts as russians begin to feel the effect of sanctions on their economy. $1.00 bought $75.00 roubles before the war. now it buys a 100. that means high prices for imported goods, such as the fruit and veggies in this market. what guns did they is learned the sweets used to cause 70 roubles, and now they cost $100.00. and she can also, we don't leave a luxury light, but the prices went had notably hotels. and actually the price of sugar went up significantly more than $10.00 doorbells me, i ran out of salt and sugar and i couldn't find down for now to day they appeared. no, my pension would be an asi, it is not so little. but i spent almost half of it on medicines, so very little remains of everything is more expensive. sorry, fish used to be a $120.00 we those now it's more 100. 18. last time we brought back, we almost 200, very expensive. it's hard for us, we want to eat. russian president vladimir putin has acknowledged that sanctions

mean the economy will need what he calls, deep structural changes. they won't be easy. he said before the war in ukraine inflation here, it was already over 9 percent the highest. it's been in 7 years that could now double and interest rates are 20 percent. all of this putting a real squeeze on russian incomes ah, or the russian association of patriotic entrepreneurs. some believe there are opportunities to be hot. as western firms pull out, though, 1st, there are practical challenges to work around from virginia. the whole supply chain has been damaged. yet many producers are not sending raw materials of finished products to russia, even if they are, containers aren't leaving because of concerns about sanctions. so a big question for processing, industrious is, what is their logistic chain? durable dollar exchange rate is also big stress. many russians credit their president with stabilizing the economy after the collapse of the soviet union. it

grew, every year vladimir putin was in office until a global financial crisis. a group of international banks now expects economic output to fall by up to a 3rd. this year. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow. let me put in as long insisted. the invasion is an operation to quote de nights, not the knots of fide ukraine, a group of holocaust. scholars say his claim, the government is pro nazi is factually and morally repugnant in there was but a number of far right militias have emerged in ukraine since the conflict in the east began in 2014, including the ultra nationalist as a battalion, which is now integrated into ukraine's volley. analysts have argued that integration rained in the battalion and routed out neo nazis in its ranks. but some us politicians say it should be designated a terrorist group. and in recent years, they've been multiple reports of anti jewish activities in ukraine. and the

government has brought in new penalties. earlier i spoke to cynthia miller address . she is the author of hate in the homeland the new global far right. she says, pollutants talk of denot. vacation is baseless propaganda. but extremism is an issue in, you claim, ukraine, like other military, the german military, the u. s. military has had a problem with the far right extreme. it them white the premises among their ranks . it's a minority problem, a very small percentage, but it's a persistent problem. and in ukraine, that problem has grown since 2014 as ultra nationalist, fractions and militia, as were clashing with pro russian separatists. you know, or with russia itself and, and have drawn foreign fighters from overseas. again, not all of whom were far right in nature, but some of them are. and that is what we're seeing now to is that there are some

recruitment and mobilization happening among global white supremacists to go to ukraine and use this opportunity to, to gain tactical training and combat experience. they may not really have any political objectives in mind related to ukraine, but it's an opportunity to gain training to recruit to, to fundraise. so that's the danger is that people are going there. the other danger, of course, is that people go there because they want to defend ukraine and then become radicalized while they're there because they get into a mix of people who have the idea. logical views, once they're there. in some ways, it's not so dissimilar to the foreign fighters that we saw going to fight, you know, overseas for, for in islamist extremist groups. you have this, you have this drug globally here in this case. what the difference is, i think that you have tens of thousands of people going for, you know, just because they want to defend ukraine in the situation. and among that there are a few dozen documented cases of new nazis in the mix. so it is again,

a pretty small proportion of identified me not to the course, hard to know how many others there might be that are not known to authorities. so some countries have put in extra, like in the u. k. they've put an extra checks at the depart points of exit with people headed to ukraine to try to detect why are they going and figure this out. but in most places, those kinds of precautionary measures haven't happened yet. so we don't really know how big the problem is or how big it could be. it's certainly not rising. the level of the propaganda that suggested by any means there's no nationwide do not cation needed, but, but it is a troubling situation when you have the opportunity to combat, train like that for people who want to do damage done in their home, come home. countries when they return, the u. s. has condemned the united arab emirates hosting of serious president bush auto asset. it was his 1st trip to another arab country since the syrian will began

in 2011. the u. s. is urging all nations in the region to resist normalizing relations with syria. then a harder reports. it was a syrian precedence 1st visit to an arab country since an uprising against his rule began in 2011. but the u. a. e 's engagement with the once widely shown, bashar assad is not new, and it has been happening, despite opposition from long time ally, the united states, the bite and administration was swift in condemning the visit, saying it is profoundly disappointed and troubled by an attempt to legitimize a leader responsible for atrocities, but many believe this was not just about bringing damascus back to the arab fold. by hosting i said the u a. e wanted to make a statement to the west. look, you guys have left us as in the middle east in a vacuum by jo partial withdrawal. and the partnership that we have with the united state is no longer functioning. you're not delivering on the security on the

security guarantees that you're giving particular as we are looking towards the g p a to point of being negotiated with iran. and the mirage is saying we're taking over responsibility. we want to share the burden. we're taking the burden, but we're doing it our way brushes invasion of ukraine has exposed brit between washington and its allies in the middle east. the u. a. e and saudi arabia, the gulf nations, which host us forces have so far avoided taking a position against russia. it's not just that they are not supporting us. president jo biden's administration, as it tries to cut moscow's lifelines, the u. e and saudi arabia are 2 of the world's biggest oil exporters, u. k prime minister boars johnson was in regard earlier this month to try to convince the west long time allies to increase production terrain in soaring energy prices and help and the west dependency on russian oil. the saudi, at the alliance is not so eager to support the united states and

western europe. and europe, in general, tend to stop russia and ukraine by defusing to produce and to increase oil production and to lower gas prices, which make it costly for united states in europe. the bite in administration has last political capital with saudi arabia and the u. e. the gulf states were frustrated by the lack of a strong us response against iran when they were both targeted by him and who's the rebels. they have since strengthened ties with russia, who they believe can contain iran's ambitions. the war in ukraine is re aligning the political world its outcome will have far reaching geopolitical implications. for this region holder, elisha 0 or the city of levine, west in ukraine, has become a safe haven for those slain the war and other parts of the country. it's estimated

more than $200000.00 internally displaced ukrainians have so ref, each step of san comerica is a coordinator was save ukraine based in the remaining 27 years old. and now i live with my friends near live and we make some volunteer projects. i'm from all and the good that it's the safety parisha region, harry, stay biggest nuclear power station. and unfortunately for now, the style is occupied by russian green forest. it's our office for that alone in english. and during the war in became a shelter shelter for all the refugees. so all who need some place to leave for, to relax to think about the future. and so on i, i'm at coordinator of the settlement. it started to walk home. i think maybe it was

sunday after starting the war this is natalia. she is like a grand more of a spray. so she just help everyone who needs some help or advice or something else . she is cooking. cooking for all are hungry people that could be in this place. it's help her to be more calm because she has a bad situation with her family because part of a family is in much open now and a harris no connection or with her. her own children with her granddaughter sent or grandsons doing nothing. my head will just blowing so on this walk helps me to orm not to think too much about the

war and to feel that i all can help people that i also take part in them. may be small part by to potter in the way of our winning this war. and i hope that some, all the citizens, all people of ukraine will understand fully understand importance of their independence. and it will be like a chance to build it from their basement. and so build it in the right way. ah, it says al 0, let's get around of now. other top stories a large scale air strike has blasted an army headquarters in the city of nikolai, of killing dozens. rescue efforts are underway after the attack reduced the building to rubble, ukraine's 2nd largest.
