11:05 am
a peaceful city. he said, what the occupies did is tara, that will be remembered for centuries a to come. if you take a look at the pictures coming out of mario, pull up reporting coming out of that city, you'll see that it's actually besieged, not only from air, but by land. am by sea as well. a number of buildings have been completely destroyed. civilian areas totally destroyed as well. also the russian forces are pushing in deeper into the city as we speak. they say that there's a heavy fighting going on around a steel plow band. don't forget that has been a several buildings that have taken place against civilian targets, including a drama theater that was being used as a shelter whilst that's going on there. there's real concern that if they do manage to take variable the russian forces that links crimea, which they already have, and sher shinny of and car keys again, given them most of the dumbass region. and also
11:06 am
a land bridge between crimea was already control into those areas as well. however, in the capital, we're hearing that the ukrainians are actually fighting back right now. a publicly saying that there's a counter offensive taking place in a peanut pin is one of the front lines. but 15 kilometers from where i'm standing right now. it's a town has been besieged by russian forces and from a, a or 9 days. now, there is been very much a kind of offensive counter offensive game going on with the russians, but now ukrainian forces are saying that they're pushing the russians out on to the outskirts of that city. if that's independently confirmed, it is a, it is some that is significant, particularly for the ukrainian forces. now the other thing that the ukrainians keep saying is this idea of close the skies. they want a nato flies or that's actually slightly going away. now when they've realized that nato is not going to put a no fly zone fit of escalation over ukraine,
11:07 am
then the ukraine, now the ukrainians are saying will give us a fighter jets. how will do it ourselves? whether that actually happens or not is unlikely to be fair according to most military or lisa. i certainly thy spoken to, but it is something that the ukrainians are now pushing full and they're in the capitol cave volunteers have come together to try to help her vulnerable people who've been left behind, unable to flee, that's up to you, right? there's a disproportionate amount of elderly and even firm people left in the city. the city is about 50 percent evacuated right now. and what's happening is the people are left behind a people that simply have nowhere else to go. lay the can't afford it, they don't have any family, or they simply too frail or infirm to actually leave the city and volunteers. and now picking up where the social services would have taken care of these people as a huge, a volunteer force across the city. just ordinary people are who are looking after
11:08 am
the most freleigh most vulnerable, and they doing it out of their own pocket. let's take a closer look at what exactly that they're doing. it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service. ah. without any external funding, anya and i friends deliver groceries and basic goods to some of the most vulnerable and keep some the goods are donated, but most a paid for by the volunteers themselves. the long to who i always wanted to do them and can work. i don't have grandparents, so this house me compensate for that. it really comes from my heart. maria rarely leaves the house. she's too frail to make the journey. and the elevator in her building is best described as temperamental. she stayed in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers, i should be completely alone and hungry and thirsty won't gentlemen. i was in
11:09 am
hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have a niece who could help mad public transport this child, so she can't get here. oh, he's right now. i don't need anything because then brought me things. but this won't last long. all the volunteers work under the umbrella of an organization called love life which existed before the war to help the homeless and vulnerable. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine, still operating and demand for it. services for outstrips its capacity to cope, the organization has changed the way operates. it identifies the most vulnerable people and post them on a private social media channel volunteers and make the deliveries navigating the cities. many checkpoints, an anti tank barricades, and it's not just home delivery, kitchens and roadside chaos have also become a frontline of salt in the war effort. most of the restaurants across the city are
11:10 am
shut, but the kitchens are open and the chefs are working. now they might not be making their usual cuisines. what they doing is they're making home style cuisines that then volunteers pick up and bring to distribution points like these. and it is a lifeline for many. this might be the one hotmail, that they get a day american out. zera cave frontline city of ha, keith has been continuously targeted since the start of the war. there's a desperate search for survivors in the rooms of buildings. there are zeros as had beg reports from northeastern ukraine. well, this is one the worst hit areas of hurricane. the 2nd largest city in ukraine had a population of 1500000. that stream drastically reduce cost. 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 air strikes, shelling and artillery,

within the last 4 weeks, where they've come from the situations been deteriorating in the humanitarian agency. say it's about to get much. most of them have come from the southern part of somalia, where they depended on farming and hurting livestock. until the last 3 rainy seasons failed. crops, withered and animals died. here they surviving on one meal a day. how mohammed osmond was one of the 1st to arrive? she's a community leader. she'd been trying to find help with little success. holla, have a townhouse that was gonna see the situation at all and here is extremely difficult . people are hungry and in poor house. people don't even have shelter every time a car passes here, people think that somebody is coming to give them food. it's a similar story. all around the outskirts of mogadishu. the un says more than 60000
11:22 am
people have arrived here in the last 4 months. and across the country, more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced by the drought. humanitarian organizations say they only have 3 percent of the funds needed to help them. the solution is for everyone to act fast. we need more fund. we need more attention to the drought. we need the support from donor agencies, from donor countries. at to the somali people, that's what we need now. meanwhile, somali as government is entangled in an ongoing and fraught electoral process, much of the world's attention is focused on the war in ukraine. people here have been left destitute there, waiting and wondering if anyone will come to help. and now come just a lie of from somebody as capital market issue. what is going to happen to these people who is going to come and help them welcome?
11:23 am
well, that's what a lot of them are asking is a question. i can put to her see who's with me here. he's a member of somalia. is national dr. respond committee. what's the government doing about this? i say not much. i accept that the prime minister appointed a national raj response committee of which i remember a month ago a the thing is that the, this has been going on for so long a droughts have been being repeated a by the lack of frames for the last 3 consecutive frame seasons. so it, it should have been a bit of bitterness in place, which we don't see now. and how is this ongoing election process at the moment? the politicians are choosing the next leaders. it's been dragging on for more than a year. how is this affecting their response to the drought, while the severity of the droughts are being compounded by the tussle
11:24 am
over who becomes the next president or to the prime minister and up into an effect, his dea, a willingness of the doris, or some of them do not know who are they dealing with. and some of them are worried that that would be a unrest. a but it would fated by the the electron dawson between the senior government officials and humanitarian organizations say they have just 3 percent of the money that they need to help. what's going on there? i think there is a fatigue on somalia, on the side of the thrush of community election is hub and huffman for a year. now, the government now is on auto time time a be on its mandate for over one year now. and everybody was but a burden to deal with in the government for a year. now, a crisis, a ukraine, and the donor fatigue and the complexity of the situation where some of the places
11:25 am
that the drought to south affected are under the control of al bob is mixing things up for the worse and the conflict. the ongoing conflict between the armed grew voucher. bob and the western backed government, the charles, the capital, where we're standing has been going on for years. i'll sure bob controls much of the countryside. how's that affecting the ability of the government than the humanitarian organizations to deliver help to the people that need it? well, i'll show up, do not allow any aid from the government or from the international donors that they are not managing to reach the places that they manage. bernice is that they control and the county side of up most or far center allows out for malia. so if the government cannot deliver or the interaction and jewish cannot deliver to the areas under the control of al bob, that would cause in focus of id b's. people move in in mass from the places are
11:26 am
under the controversial bob to the cities controlled by the government or the federal member states. thank you. that was adam. oh, her see who's a member of somalia is national drought response committee. now, just to put this in scale, those 5 or 600000 people that have fled their homes, that is about one 3rd of somali population. the next rains a due in april, but the long term weather forecast of the say they're already expecting very little or no rain to come in. that rainy season. a lot of the people in the humanitarian community here say that means we're going to see even more displacements and possibly a famine here in the months ahead. back to you all designers, malcolm web reporting live there from some of the us capitol. mogadishu, presidential candidates in the philippines have had their 1st televised debates. there are several hopefuls wandering to replace outgoing president rodrigo to 30 in
