rush and checkpoints ukrainian say it's difficult to know which way a safe and not everybody makes it. not about at nancy living inch. that's right. they began to destroy our city completely house after house of battles took place on every street church. every house became a target. murray, opal's residence fled, a city still under russian attack from levine, a plea to end the war. there he arossi young rebel, dear russian. so if we ask you all to go home, deal with your own families of them, you have entered some one else's land. if someone else's territory with you are not liberating or you are barbarians, we hope that you all leave and never disturb anyone ever again. you fool you. the rule will yes. at the largest reception center in levine, volunteers prepare for an influx of evacuees from the war zone. thousands of come and gone thousands more expected in coming days. one family from

fight zane basra v o 0 live or the mayor of key of says residential buildings and a shopping center have been hit by russian shelling on sunday. an apartment block in a western district of the capital has been heavily damaged. nobody was killed, but several people being treated in hospital here for him was more wiser, more. he, we can see that the crane this war is to liberate people, is propaganda that bombing residential areas. like in other cities, their goal is keith, our capital city. and we can see the consequences. they want to scare people, but they'll fail. the ukrainian people will not be skate. these actions create even more hatred and desire to resist the attacks. ukraine. second largest city is suffered constant shelling by russian forces. although they haven't been able to take control of how to give the bombing has caused catastrophic damage. as i said,

beg reports, an eerie silence hangs over quarter keith with apocalyptic scenes. the center of the city, frozen like a page in history. standing still for the world to see. there was a huge explosion as if that might was heard all over the city's saint. i lived quite close so i myself heard it and that it was a waltz were shaken. and after that, there were several and as i asked thrice, and in the following days, i walked in the streets thousands of times and there were so many i great little core for sobs or restaurants on the 1st floors here. and people will even hear my friends live in this house. and so now there is no place where then cats can come back. since the start of the war,

maria has refused to leave her home city in ne, in ukraine. this strikes is, was she stayed to document what the russians are doing. chris said there was here during the net, so keep press. and so even the net says you're in the, with the vault, we're to didn't destroy the buildings. and now they are in ruins because of the russians hoyle, our neighbors, people here think that one day soon the damage can be fixed and buildings reconstructed. but the impact of the war and the minds of people in hockey would be hard to, to overcome. the russians thought the could just walk in and take the city, but they were mistaken. they were met with fierce ukrainian resistance and as a result, to punish her keep the rift coat. it's historical hot. for weeks there's been bombing day and night. once the city of 1500000, many have left knows who some of those who remain

a struggle for food. this man brought frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need to i, i hopefully will and soon so that our children can leave. mapleton begun by 14, and as the sound of artillery filled the sky, people head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is taken, including inside the trains, little jelly, my darcy been like a calendar. i saw her, so i'm sleeping here. we took the mattress and pumped it up, and more or less settled down. some people sleep here on the floor. we also eat here. the food is so, so volunteers bring it to our side. but as the doors and the subway are closed for the night, there's hope here the next day will bring an end to the war. and no need to hide from the bumps. i said, beg,

i'll visit her. her give ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is appealing to israel for health against russia. he addressed members of these really connect it via zoom. savanski likened the russian invasion to the holocaust are a force that reports from west jerusalem. israelis gathered in television to watch a speech that vladimir zalinski had wanted played to politicians inside israel's class it but with the parliament in recess its members joined from wherever they were by zoom. the significance remained. a jewish president fighting a war in europe, appealing to what he set out as a sense of shared history. all the lucy, the we are history and our survival and world war to listen to the words of the kremlin. they use the terminology of the nazi party, so it's a tragedy that they wanted to exterminate all europe. they did not want to spare any one of you. and now, any of us, what they call this, the final solution there. but it wasn't long before ukraine's president pivoted to

the present. and these really governments current policy, israel's prime minister, natalie bennett, has presented himself and his country as a neutral mediating force, talking frequently to savanski and never, far from the surface. israel's interest in keeping russia on side, continuing to allow israel to carry out air strikes in syria unopposed by duty. is it indifference calculation or mediation without choosing sides? i leave it to you to choose the answer to this question. i only know to one thing that indifference kills calculations often turn out to be wrong, and mediation is only possible between countries, but not doing good and evil. so then he went on to chide israel for not adopting sanctions against russia, sending any of its high tech weaponry, which he said could save ukrainian lives for weeks. now, israel's government has been arguing that its utility on the war allows it access to both sides. an honest broker, facilitating negotiations,

but president landscape through the strength of his criticism has really exploded. that argument now criticizing almost every aspect it, israel's policy on the war is not the 1st time he's used such a parliamentary address in recent days to attack that country's policy. but there was an undoubted edge to his words. israeli ministers were quoted in the local media criticizing what they called his outrageous comparisons with the holocaust. the official line came from israel's foreign minister, repeating his condemnation of the attack on ukraine and thanking its president for sharing his feelings and the plight of the cranium. people hurry for, said algeria west seriousness. now the un says more 900 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the war. but the actual numbers believes to be much higher. mcbride has more from live. know this sir figure given by the u. n. a. there $900.00 plus, i mean that does seem to be an extremely safe, conservative figure. when you look at the, the number of different fronts where conflict has taken place are all around

ukraine right now, add the piles of rubble, but the way they haven't been able to reach potential survivors or indeed recover their bodies. bodies from underneath that those are destroyed buildings and obviously the figures got to be far higher. the big question is just what will the eventual death toll a amount to when it comes to military deaths. the, the figures seem almost more arbitrary if you like, when it comes to, for example, the number of russians who have died in this conflict. the official figure from the russians is $498.00. well, it is clearly a lot more than that. that figure hasn't changed now for days, but just how more is open to question the ukrainians themselves say that the number of russians who have died now on ukrainian soil is well over 13 or 14000 at the u. s. puts the number at somewhere. bit about between the 2 round about maybe 6000 or so. and so these numbers are fairly arbitrary when it comes to the number of

ukrainian civilians and also ukrainian personnel who have been killed. that obviously continues to mount the big concern for the ukrainians at the moment. is there an under rescue operation in the calliah of the city? a southern port city ad that is on the way to the more strategically important city of odessa now there has been intense fighting there. and then this miss aisle attack on a military batt barracks at where they are, who all was a large contingent of ukrainian marines. now, in the past day or 2, there's been a big rescue operation. pulling survivors wound injured survivors from the rubble, but also pulling increasing numbers of bodies and still to come on out his era. the woman who survived the siege of leningrad as a child, but his now re living the trauma. and officials in hong kong change tack on covey 19 restrictions. ah,

hello, we're still hanging on to that cool wintery weather across northern parts of the middle east, but there farther south, it is warming up, it's drying up quite nicely. pretty nice celsius here in dough high with the next couple of days. i came to my wind easing off, so we'll feel quite pleasant. such also some showers. so maybe want to wintery showers, northern parts of iraq, northern parts of syria, just spilling out of turkey, cold enough, just around the levant, eastern side of the mediterranean. quite a keen wind blowing in here, so a real chill in the air still in place over the next couple of days for tuesday, you can see that winter weather spilling after syria cross. northern parts of iran elsewhere is generally dry and $530.00 celsius in doha. by that stage, nowhere near that across all the parts of africa course with a key, northerly wind, showers there across the far north, egypt libya shanicea. algeria will pass

a morocco seeing some heavy showers and still some showers there into southern parts of west africa as they should be, because the seasonal rays are, of course now making their way further north was that line of heavy showers running right out of the democratic republic of congo through zambia, northern parts of mozambique, southern areas of tanzania. some very heavy rain too with the possibility of flooding for northern madagascar. ah, on the old pine plains illustrate you snowy mountains, a bit of battle least taking place. of a withered the country's wall horses are a nationwide corn. all pharaoh piss 11 east on elm to 0. ah, al jazeera, with capital

lulu ah, go watching al jazeera last week, kappa had lines. now ukrainian officials have rejected a russian cold to surrender the besieged city of mateo. both autopay continues to suffer. heavy bombardments and thousands of civilians remain trap that the crane, 2nd largest city is being constantly hit by russian forces. they haven't been able to take control of hot accused, but the bombing has caused major damage. ukraine's prize ultimate zelinski is appealing to israel for help against russia. he addressed members of palmer by zoom

. now nato has sent patriot ad defense systems. to slovakia, the country's defense minister said that it would be willing to provide ukraine with its s $300.00 long range missiles systems. if the units were replaced, russia says it's used hypersonic missiles again in its attacks on ukraine. their use was in one of the number of missiles strikes against military facilities. among the sites hit by standard cruise missiles was an armored vehicle repair site in the town of machine. the hypersonic strike came in nikolai of a fuel depot was destroyed by missiles fired from the caspian sea and crimea. russia says it also destroy the military training center of roche, where foreign mercenaries are based. bernard smith has more from moscow. russia's defense ministry says that it's used hypersonic missiles again for a 2nd time. there's no way of independently verifying this,

but they used them to target a fuel storage site in the south of ukraine. and they launched cruise missiles from the caspian sea. and the black sea at other targets in ukraine, 2nd time they've used these hypersonic or missiles. and this is what the defense ministry had say. a lot of the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depot, used by ukraine's armed forces near the village of constantinople. motioning the main supplies of fuel for ukraine's army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss, i allowed to instruct the training center given for green special forces. their foreign mercenaries were based on now the something of an arms raised going on between russia, the united states and china over these hypersonic missiles hypersonic, meaning they 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, 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. now china, some basset, a to the u. s. denies beijing is providing military assistance to russia. speaking on us television, he said, china is against the war. there's a single nation about china providing military offices to russia. we reject that. what they know, what china is doing is and foods, madison slipping back and the baby formula. now the weapons and ammunition with 2 adding party and we against a war. as i said, you know,

we will do everything to escalate the crisis. i'm a tangle is a senior international fellow, the tire institute. he says china hopes to avoid criticism and focus on the roadmap piece. but what's interesting is june guns interview made it very clear. he's not going to criticize us and he's not going to criticize russia. he wants to do is try to get both sides on an off ramp to negotiate peace. and that's the only rational way of solving this from the chinese perspective. they don't see that war as being the answer. i obviously people with a v, b and c, a very much western centered idea. you know, that, you know, this is a terrible humanitarian catastrophe, which it is with in china. it's a little bit more nuanced. they talk about do lenses. one. this is in essence

a that ukraine is a victim of problems that exist between us and russia. so it's, it's depending on where you are and how you see it. nobody doubts that there is a humanitarian crisis going on. that war and this tremendous sympathies going that way, but the symbol east can go towards russia as well because many chinese c u. s. using the same kind of pressure tactics against it in terms of taiwan sion, john, etc. so it's becoming an evolve, evolve you to a complex situation. as i said, the only real way of doing this is not to criticize both sides, but to try to get them to the table. russia and ukraine of called for foreign volunteers to join their sides. one of those answering the call is a college student from new york who joined ukrainian forces and had a narrow escape on the front line near the capital. keith?

yeah, i got some cut a yeah, i got some glass on my face as no big deal. reds got a nice little head injury. i said, my name's alexis and sheila, i was working as a combat medic. and we and our vehicle hit a mine and flew up. so i ended up here unfortunately. but luckily my friends are okay. one of one of the gentleman in the car was really severely injured, but they're taking care of him upstairs and he's gonna make it so yeah, we were going to do a mission today. we were trying to go to a, you know, the, our location and then unfortunately, sorry. my head is a little foggy right now. but yeah, and we, when fortunate we are going through the fields and then hit mine to play. no, i felt a calling to come here. i felt like it was the right thing to do. i feel like i'm, what's happening here when putin is doing is evil and it, there is no reason to be putting all these people millions in mind to people
