10:18 pm
a did not vacation. a campaign of the russians was actually much more like the nazi campaign or of 39 to 45. these really policy has been deliberately a sort of 2 fronted really the, the prime minister natalie bennett has been a very mild, in his language, not referring to russia by name, not referring to it as an invasion, saying that he wants to be an honest broker between putin and zalinski and as far as lance is concerned, that appears not to be good enough. he said that you can't calculate in this way. i'm sure you can mediate, but you can't mediate between good and evil, essentially calling on israel to take sides in a much more. oh, open and purposeful way. and also being very critical of israel's policy on sanctions, which it has not so far joined and on the kind of aid that it's been giving in as of soon as a member of the ukrainian parliamentary,
10:19 pm
joins us now live from the west of the country. thank you very much indeed for being with. i want to get back to that to the picture attorney maria paul. and what do you think when you see there, the evacuations and the continued bombardment of their city and the siege? well, basically put and is now holden over 300000 people in my local hostages. so his evil plans apparently his doing that too many reasons. one of them being probably trying to influence the ukraine's position during the talks that taken place right now, a friendless think what he's doing? well, now it's just heartbreaking. i just read a report from a woman there and she is desperate and what she's right and she says that i go for a walk everyday with my dog, but it doesn't really matter anymore because i understand that i will die. and that is what we're hearing from so many people because they cannot evacuate because their vocation corridors from an open are not safe. people are trying to create 840000 people, did escape,
10:20 pm
but over 300000 still in there. and people are scared of relocation corridors because the russians open in fire on those occasions, corridors. and what is even worse when we heard from what is yesterday the city mayor and the city council said that they know that a few 1000 people from medical have been basically taken from right from medical center to the filtration cam. so that is the official terminology oppression army in russia, and then sent to the distant bias of russia, where the people are forced to find faith was that they agreed to stay there and to work for free for 2 years. that is basically slavery that they take people from medical in and that is happening now in 2022. we have seen those reports, unfortunately, not able to verify independently the reports, people being forced to leave into russia and tell me about the situation in the south. is it how much blows it to to you? cranium. morale will generally to see that, for instance, concave son,

you grew up there to see their cities being put under so much pressure. well, her has been bombarded heavily, particularly the 1st 2 weeks of the war. it is less so now the ghost creating an army shut down several russian plains that has been in the city to know their carriage. a little bit of go in there with a patient that they're trying to combine it from the ground to crate and pushing them further from the city. so that is given me hope and i've been in touch with so many people and how to give they are all extremely terrified, but also extremely determined. the messages i was getting that and they were all in russian because that is the russian speaker city. they will say, please tell everyone that we are not given up your pocket will say your brain and see to and we trust they printed on me to defend us. so, so it doesn't affect the morale actually 898 percent of people right now. say the trash biggest enemy, this is the highest number i have ever seen in crane. and people actually seem their trust. that is what i get more and more you get to get into fight with russia
10:22 pm
. you mentioned in passing out the, to the talks on negotiation, the french foreign minister last week said putin was pretending to negotiate with ukraine while pursuing an invasion with a brutal strategy. and that sentiment also echoed by the u. k. foreign secretary in the last few days, how concerned are you that about how long this might go on with these negotiations, which may not may or may not be genuine negotiations. what we know it is not genuine. on the russian side, that's for sure, because we do remember we could go and put leper officer blatantly said that they didn't invade ukraine. people who we are dealing with elias and logical lies then able to tell the truth and they're unable to keep their word. we are in the talks because in some ways that does lead to some minor results, like the humanitarian corridors. and also we do have hope that the russian command will recognize that they will never be able to capture ukraine food. and they allusion on the ground. and they create to surrender on the terms that would be
10:23 pm
favorable and acceptable to us. but you know, it's dealing with with, with right now it's like making deals with hitler in 1938. you can have a trust that, that he would never trust, that you know, let him dictate to just just destroy one, eastern european country will not touch the rest of the world that it just may have . so it's a we, we don't trusting the talks, but we are willing to continue as long as it allows us to save life here in this soon. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to you, appreciate it. thank you. crating refugees across europe. are beginning to settle into a new life far different from the one they left behind. italy plans to taken up to a 175000 refugees over the coming weeks. some women and children have been welcomed at a small village just outside rome. jenin wolfe has more some 2000 kilometers away from whom people in this tiny italian village have opened up their homes and businesses to the women and children flynn war in ukraine. shuster valley,
