6:02 pm
a quarter of the population in time neighborhoods, trying to get out of many you fall right now as stephanie decker reports from weston ukraine. it's relentless, and it's been 3 weeks of this. the neighborhoods of murray, paul, are unrecognizable. now. the bodies lie where they fell. it's not safe to collect them. not safe to bury them in a cemetery. small salis, for their families, the cold keeping them from decomposing cars lined the streets as people try to flee . checkpoints make sure only civilians, li, since that i know are you are now, what could i be? i got out of the city central district with bonds and destruction. we lost her house. so now we're leaving with our children. were still in shock and fearful russian forces of continuously targeted this port city where weeks of shelling have
6:03 pm
kept about 400000 people hostage. local authorities say moscow's attacks have caught electricity, supplies, heating, and water. this city has shut down. russia denies its targeting civilians, but its air strikes have hit civilian buildings like this city school. and recently a theater where people were seeking safety from bombings, survivors say life will never be the same. it's still bitterly cold outside. and this woman lost her home. but psalm no longer have the energy or the will to try to leave. she just east jefferson muscle wizard, wiley, the city now after what we've been through, we've had difficult days with bombings, hunger and cold weather. as you can see, our neighbourhood is destroyed, mutual zeniah, as russian forces continue their assault of the city. ukrainians fiercely resist their advances. life has been put on hold for every one left behind in mary paul.
6:04 pm
and it's been described as a living hell. stephanie decker, al jazeera in western ukraine, of people living in ukraine's 2nd largest city of face constant bombardment in nearly 4 weeks of war. acid bag is in har cave wood. more on what they are confronting her gave has been pounded by russian for his day. and night, so if you hear loud, that's how heavy artillery being fired and also incoming. but let me show you some of the devastation of what impact a bomb has. now this was hit just a few days ago and just take a look at the size of that crater. now we understand the target was a military priest building. we're told that the russians actually missed that and it landed here, it's destroyed. cause or we believe that the ca, mechanic, taste that's been absolutely destroyed cause had been absolutely crushed. but the building next to it was a residential building. and 2 people were killed to civilians. but just against
6:05 pm
some of the impact of this bumps it landed here. it ripped through this entire area, causing damage to the buildings here, but also take a look at that. that's a block of flats, residential people's homes. people live, completely destroyed, known can living there anymore. the windows have been blown out and that's the devastation of just one bump. now across the street is the high court. the court building there, and that's been hit. that's been destroyed. the windows have been blown at this residential building, but the other side of the street. they've been absolutely destroyed and across the street from where this bomb landed is a park. now there's a large crater there, a swell, a very close to the playground, again, causing absolute destruction. now this is what's happening. the reason why we're wearing this protective armor is because people in the city don't know when the
6:06 pm
russians strike and where they will strike. and it's completely unpredictable at the moment civilian centers, i've been hit, civilian residential building have been hit, the consent, it has been hit the shopping wallet. and the latest that we've heard from today is that in one of the areas of hurricane 5 people were killed including a 9 year old child. now this city has held out against russian forces. ukrainian forces have managed to keep them out, but it is under constant fire, day and night. and here's the situation in ukraine right now. this is the territory and red that russia and its separatists allies control around 4000 people were able to escape the fighting on saturday. capturing money you poll, would establish a land bridge for rushing forces between next crimea and the separatist held eastern region of don bass. the un says more than 900 civilians have been killed since the war began. the actual numbers are believed to be much higher. rob mcbride
6:07 pm
join us live now from the wave in weston ukraine. so rob, what more. 2 we hearing about death on both sides of this conflict. that's right, them in this are latest to you and their estimate for the number of civilians in ukraine of just over 900 seems to be a very conservative, very safe estimate. and given the difficulty in trying to collect these figures from all of these different conflicts, zones is different. so battle france around the country and with you know, so many countries so many cities from harkey to mal you, paul, are still with that. all of these buildings that have been raised with that teams is still just not been able to get to those sites to a sadly, to retrieve bodies from underneath them reduced model. you paul, for example. you know, we know that there are bodies lying in the streets which, which are not have not been able to be recovered, which presumably are not in the official figures. and of course,
6:08 pm
there are still tragically, are these larger buildings, a mal you, paul, and elsewhere? possibly where people have been sheltering at which have collapse and which are rescue as just haven't been able to reach do so. we know that there will be a hopefully, as a number of people to be rescued and brought out alive. but sadly, this will, is a, and probably an underestimation of, well, the civilian deaths are here in the ukraine when it comes to the military deaths, or that even though there seems to be there more arbitrary or b, it seems to be extremely changeable depending who is there giving you those figures . the russian military, for example, have the number, the official number of russian military personnel who have died in what they are calling this military operation at 498. but that number has not changed for days. the ukrainians are estimating that the number of russians who died here on ukrainian soil is well in excess of 121-3000. that is probably an overestimation. and other international observers put it in,
6:09 pm
it may be half that may be 56000. so it is fairly arbitrary, but it is, we do know that the, the numbers are sadly, are increasing in terms of civilians and military on both sides. the big concern for the ukrainians at the moment is down in the southern port city of nikolai, of where we have had this a devastating missile attack on what was a military barracks in the city. we do know that there was a large contingent of ukrainian marines in residence at the time that they had pulled survivors from underneath the rubble. people are injured, but they have also been pulling bodies are from that side. on the rescue operation there continues now that the ukrainians aren't giving too much away in terms of exact figures, but people there are talking about the final death toll from that or one incident being in the scores. now if that is the case, then that will be the single, single largest loss of military life in a single attack suffered by the ukrainians. and that is
6:10 pm
a big blow further defense or of that city. because a, in recent days, the military there have been talking about repelling russian attacks, pushing the russians back, pushing their artillery back and is possibly because of that fact that the russians are, are now resorting to the use of more missiles or more rockets. in addition to the fact of course that they still have not eaten more than 3 weeks of conflict, gained air superiority, they have lost air craft. so it would seem a natural move to try to use more and missiles, rockets and drones, but from their russian perspective, it is a battle they have to continue. because at the at mc mc mikhail, the caliph is on the road to odessa. if you can take that city, then it opens up a front for the russians to take a des, so which is a far more important strategic city on the black sea air. and unless they can do that,
6:11 pm
then that is really thwarting their plan. so it does seem as though the offensive down in the south there will be continued. all right, rob, thanks for that. run my bride, life was in love if now another attack in the heart of key of a 10 story residential building came under fire on sunday. thick plumes of smoke billowed from the town in the western sphere to shin ski districts. the building and the street were destroyed by russians selling shelling the city's mer says nobody was killed, but several people are being treated in hospital. it was more was more here. we can see that the claim, this war is to liberate people, is propaganda that bombing residential areas, like in other cities, that goal is keys, capital city. and we can see the consequences that want to scare people, but they'll fail. the ukrainian people will not be scared off these actions create even more hatred and desired to resist the attacks. or russia says it is once again used hypersonic missiles to attack ukraine. the defense ministry saying it hit
6:12 pm
military facilities. one of the targets was reportedly an armored vehicle repair slide in the town of nation, russia certified cruise missiles from the black sea. in michel, i have a few that was destroyed by high precision miss l spot from the caspian sea and crimea. russia says it also destroyed a military training center in all of which were foreign mercenaries are based. let's get reaction to this now from bernard smith in moscow. abundant. what is, what else is the russian government saying that russia defense ministry says that it's used hypersonic missiles again for a 2nd time. there's no way of independently verifying this, but they use them. it says to target a fuel storage site, excuse me, use them to target the fuel storage site in the south of ukraine. and they launched
6:13 pm
cruise missiles from the caspian sea and the black sea at other targets in ukraine . second time, they've used these hypersonic missiles, and this is what the defense ministry had say. or that is, that is one of those nonprofits. the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depold, used by ukraine's armed forces near the village of constantinople. motioning the main supplies of fuel for greens, army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss, i largely struck the training center given for green special forces. what were foreign mercenaries were based on that the something of an arms raised going on between russia, the united states and china over these hypersonic missiles hypersonic, meaning that can fly at 5 times the speed of sound that they've never been used in a battlefield environment before as far as we know, so if it's possible to independent, confirm that russia has been using them,
6:14 pm
that is the 1st time in this environment they, they have been used and an indication again, of really the superior military arsenal. russia has it at its disposal compared to what ukraine is having to defend itself with. bernard, thank you. bernard smith lie for us in moscow. ah, a dozens of babies born to, sorry. gates are waiting to be picked up from a makeshift nursery and keep their parents either unable to travel or not willing to risk the journey. the babies are sheltering in a basement. they need constant care. and since many nurses cannot return to their destroyed homes, though, sleep and work there, who in us we have very well equipped rooms to provide comfort for children. it is everything for them to be safe in for them to be taken care of. but no, we are staying here in this basement to preserve errors and the babies lives. we
6:15 pm
are hating here from the bombing and this horrible misery of sam, every m is the founder of the surrogacy charity growing families. he says hospitals are running out of essential supplies for newborns. we are working within jose on the polish border to bring in supplies. we're also bringing in many ways to help evacuate those newborns to board us. but it does require a great deal of paperwork and support from items is many of those items based off of mr. country. and we have babies coming every day and newborn, some of them when intensive care units and coordinating the evacuation of these children is a major undertaking, travel and pissed off and shared partners. but it's painfully slow process for calling a lot of coordination. mostly with going to the polish border, taking the baby to live in the parents to come to live and making them there. it does require most parents to enter the country to do this. but with doing it one by
6:16 pm
one, some of these babies a special made some of them comics. paperwork right now. we are worried for the safety of these babies. many items are still having burst to current. here was an enormous destination. the 2nd most common place of foreigners went to saga, see even if it's 12520 for supportive motion. so we're talking about a 1000 babies or 1000 pregnancy ongoing right now. and you're trying facade gets, you know, involving nationals from 3040 different countries around the world. so this is have having a major impact on many, many countries, pretty families and governments now a scrambling to come up with make sure mrs to provide paperwork to get these babies home. in the absence of birth certificates, one and 4 ukrainians have been forced from their homes because of violence and bloodshed. the un refugee agency says 10000000 people have left their homes in search for safety. poland has taken in the most more than 2000000 refugees. romania,
6:17 pm
moldova hungry and sla vacuum have also opened their borders to mostly women and children who have been able to sleep. russia has taken in tens of thousands of refugees while about 2 and a half 1000 have fled to bella. ruth, of letting me set new floats suddenly. cough sorry, is a senior research associate at russian academy of sciences. he joins us now from moscow. thank you for being with us. i want to ask you, 1st of all, about the comments made by the ukranian president of demons, lansky, the russia is committing war crimes in, in ukraine, on a, on a, on a scale not seen before. and he describes it as a, as a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come your response. well, actually i thank you very much for inviting me. and what i would like to say about the ukrainian president william zalinski words. ah, he forgot to mention that sir,
6:18 pm
just 80 years ago before that there was a war crime are done by ukrainian army and the euclidian masses against the people, all 4 dozen burnett scan logans. so, and another thing that there is a lot of digital formation circulating right now are in the western mass media and in your brain. so because i saw myself there fake ah, the fake her video that are there were allegedly, a people are killed by russian soldiers aggression ah, showing in the backs and some one there smoking. so this a sec less video. ok. so in total, $900.00. then what, what, why is this video? thank you. say if the, if, if you saying they could lose crane link. i'm missing a sam elizabeth because that was because, because there was a break, that was a break. and people who are staging this video, they were telling to these so a lot the victim salt for all rushing shelling and they were smoking and laughing
6:19 pm
so that that is video ins. and that's if you can find it by yourself, by the way. i'm not, i'm not as a duration guys. i'm just telling you about what i have seen. another thing i would like to say that the in tom's off look, ah, i'm not that military officer. i'm not committed to a specialist. but in terms of political theory, this is a classic it brief lot information warfare is a huge inflammation warfare waged on ukrainian authorities against a russian russian army. and the, i just a heard that the, your correspondence in your brain where telling about that that's it is difficult to believe in the exact figures. so a fig asa are very much, it's a generated by the ukranian site. well, a, maybe a 1000000. it may be difficult. i think the sega sir, but did the pictures are certainly unmistakable. and we have, you talked about our correspondence and they've been showing you the pictures of the devastation and we're, we're, we're,
6:20 pm
we're seeing some of it right now. do these videos coming and i know you can't see these videos, but they certainly don't look fake. all right, all right, that's actually why i let, let ask you a question. why the western journalist fast just her fielding, all this and clerk bladed but gosh, and so what about the ukranian county section? a la z does the atrocity to what's russian soul just a golfer sung to what civilian people? by the way, this is yet i met this theatre. fear it was the, the, the navi troops are, are in ukraine, put the land mines and the people were really, there were the sheltering in the basement. but russia actually never put a new style of mr. yet. that was a fe is like this, you ok, i mean you use this word dep, nazis a lot to refer to to ukrainians. and i know you and you know,
6:21 pm
i know you're not the only one who says that there are a number of russian analysts who have heard from that. who's who say that. but you talk about about nazis as if, as if they are just overrunning ukraine. that you, the ukrainian forces are just filled with nazis, but that's just simply not the case from what we've seen. we know there, there is a ukranian nationalist element within the forces as the as of battalion, and we've talked about them on this channel. but they are, there are, there are small, there are small number. what evidence do you have that ukrainian forces are just completely infiltrated by nazis? lol. the you just said you just the actual understood the wrong conflict the wrong . i mean that there are 2 battalions so, so you said they will let you know if i do not know if he's a nozzle. i am i've to, i'm sorry, did please don't just her. i don't just the joke. my words, actually this is impolite by the way. and the other thing i would like to say that
6:22 pm
there are a nazi nazi forces it. i'm not telling that this this year again, i'm taking it all. i'm talking about the nozzle battalions who are making atrocities the local people. can you explain this? but this is a small number, but they have what, what they're doing look. well, one of the good things about sitting where i sit is that i get to ask the questions . and the question i'm asking you is, what evidence is there that ukraine is, is, is overrun with nazis because, i mean, analysts like yourself have been using this one quite a lot. so i'm just a russian analyst at that. that's why i'm using the smart. right. but there's, there's no, there's no, there hasn't been any evidence presented to back this up is what i'm saying. probably is all the evidence but the, all the other people have this evidence. again, i'm just, i would like to remind you about this story. it was not the long story ago about
6:23 pm
the, the net scan logan. so ah, very strange that the people do not speaking about that they are speaking about what is going right now. i understand that this is in use. this is a news the, the hot news. what way odin, everybody is not to was not telling about that it previously. and now is showing all the what allegedly russian troops and russian resolves due to the simple ordinary gradients. ok, let's, let's move on to to where things stand on the military side of things. we're 25 days into this war. and there is a sense that, that this operation is a stalling, a russian forces don't appear to gain much ground over the last few days. the capital key of is still not been taken. there are number of other lodge ukrainian cities that are, that have not been taken. so i'm just wondering what's, what's the plan here? what, what do you see as, as president putin's and game?
6:24 pm
i don't know, actually i'm not her in the present puts of this ration. i'm just, i the actually emily stuff. it seems to me that most probably the strategy has changed. probably like their 1st i was asked hope that it will be ad wiping strike . but no, i think that the military again, i'm not telling that i'm a military marcus. i completely different from, from the military. soco, sandra, i'm not representing any minutes organization. so it seems that all there is some rational behind that, that the 1st of all, you may have tried in rational because russian forces in ukraine are trying desperately to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties. so that's why the, the process is so slow. another thing, another thing that the right probably probably zara ah, a some are some run on shop when you get in. i mean, while still resisting the russian bosses saw and the but the strategy probably,
6:25 pm
i think the strategy probably has changed this, this my explanation actual to what is happening right now. all right. prepare your time ma'am. vladimir sunny cough. nice by much being was. thank you. across the ukrainian capital, a volunteer force has emerged to help. those who remain behind the network supports some of kias most vulnerable in mankind, joined a group as they made their daily rounds it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service. ah, without any external funding, anya and her 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 care and work i dont have grandparents so this house me compensate her
6:26 pm
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 should be completely alone and hungry then i won't tell. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have a niece who could help me public transport this child so she can pick out 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 you're facing. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine still operating and demand for services for outstrips its capacity. to cope, the organization has changed the way operates. it's identifies the most vulnerable
6:27 pm
people and post them on a private social media channel volunteers and make the deliveries navigating the cities, many checkpoints, and anti tank barricades. and it's not just home delivery. kitchens and roadside kill serve also become a frontline of salt in the war effort. most of the restaurants across the city are shut, but the kitchens are open and the chefs are working. now they might not be making their usual cuisines. what they're 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 are plenty more on the ukraine war to come on al jazeera, including thousands of indian medical students, struggling to continue their studies at home after escaping bombs and bloodshed in ukraine. a climate catastrophe. somali is worst out in decades. horses more than

6:30 pm
a special occasion. and for that, people who spend money, everything you see on the cut will they do it here, is going to be longevity. the journals have to come in and turn things around. my, my dear, on al jazeera, do with blue.
6:31 pm

6:33 pm
noting recent russian failures on the battlefield. and thousands of people who have fled, war torn cities, ukrainian resolve in the face of continued russian strikes. recovery work is ongoing in mic alive. a russian strike on friday killed dozens of ukrainian soldiers asleep in their bunks. and still, no news of the $1300.00 people believe to be trapped under the rubble of murray up a theatre bomb 4 days ago. ah, control of the strategic city is still heavily contested bundle sauce and overnight incur keith. more shelling, more destruction. his accusations have been stepped up, so have preparations at the largest reception center in levine. thousands of people have come and gone. volunteers are preparing to receive and relocate thousands more in the coming days. now we expecting people from mario, paul,
6:34 pm

6:35 pm
happy. but once his family is in poland flooded slough says he will go back to fight. zane basra v o 0 live and ukraine's president is set to address members of the israeli parliament. within the coming hour. special arrangements had been made for the speech because the connector is officially on recess until may live now to harry force it in west jerusalem. so, harry, looking ahead to, to, to this, what can we expect a is the ukranian president has made a number of speeches to, to lead us across the world. this is clearly anticipated in israel as well. indeed, it is. yes. and as far as the lensky himself is concerned, he was keen to do this, to the full plenary whole of the connected building behind us. here these are the parliament, which is as you say, on recess there was some discussion about trying to make some sort of special
6:36 pm
arrangement or use an alternative venue in the end. what's happening is the connect members will be zooming in to this speech after a brief introductory remarks to from the parliamentary speaker, be the committee room in the building behind us. so not quite the same sort of pictures or venue as we've seen in some of the other such speeches. part of that is also not just in terms of the practicalities of this, but because israel is trying to steer a very cautious and difficult line between ukraine and russia, saying it is trying to be an honest broker and a mediator. and indeed, the prime minister natalie, but it has been speaking extensively, both to thought, i mean puts in an, a lot of landscape very frequently, even traveling to moscow. but he's not been mentioning russia, talking about the situation and ukraine as opposed to an invasion by russia. he's been meeting any criticism of russia to his foreign minister and alternative prime minister. yeah. latino. so a slightly aud,
6:37 pm
and particular line that's being taken by israel, which has attracted some criticism from ukraine, which wanted to see more full throated some parts of the credit government. anyway, we'll see more full for the criticism of russia as for the commons themselves for mr. zelinski, i would expect him to talk about his own jewish heritage about memories of the holocaust and how that affected his own family. and indeed, drawing parallels between what took place in the 2nd world war in eastern europe when russia was fighting the nazis of the, the german rice and using not to try to stir. i think emotions and memories here, which of course are extremely strong when it comes to that particular part of history. harry force a life for us in west jerusalem. thanks, harry, and we will go live to that speech from the ukrainian leader as and when it happens,
6:38 pm
germany says it has reached an energy agreement with kata. the announcement came doing a german energy minister, robert habits visit to doha. germany has been seeking alternatives to end its reliance on russian natural gas. this is thought of the war and ukraine. havoc will next visit the united arab emirates and the war ukraine is forced nearly 800000 medical students to return home to india. they found a petition in the supreme court asking the government to allow their transfer to indian colleges. students applied has highlighted india's lack of medical colleges as a little elizabeth moran and reports now from what per dish the you getting. the you could in, in women and children watch on sharma shows videos of him and his fellow students fleeing the russian bombing of car cave. the 20 year old was in his 1st year of medical school in the east in ukrainian city. he's one of nearly 18000 indian medical students evacuated from ukraine since the russian invasion began molest in,
6:39 pm
