of concave. that's been the weeks of bombardment and nicole for round to take a half is stand ukraine's that president compares russia invasion to the crimes of nazi germany. it's 8 g m t. that's 6 hours past a rush and deadline for ukrainian forces in the city of mary a pole to surrender. moscow said it would allow civilians to leave if the soldiers laid down their weapons. but keith rejected moscow's demand, saying there's no question of any surrender. zane besser ivy begins coverage from levine, enduring the obstacles of war indignity, and this is life in mario up all now. i hope there will be some sort of

a burial. this is just temporary. the military told us to put the body somewhere in the cold. the only cold place now or basements, but there are people in basements, so we bury them here with them, with the problem. it is difficult to see how life can go on for people in a place like this. let me look at me, my do, but we didn't. we story the blockade, or marable. we go down in history of responsibility for war crimes, to do this, to a peaceful city. what the occupiers did, it is terror that will be remembered for centuries to come more or escaping war every day. but getting to safety can mean risking your life active conflicts, firms rush and checkpoints, ukrainians say it's difficult to know which way a safe and not everybody makes it. not about nancy loon each does right. they began to destroy our city completely house after house. battles took place on every street lodge. every house became a target. murray, opal's residence fled,

a city still under russian attack from levine, a plea to end the war. better. he arossi young. my dear russians always. 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 is territory with you are not liberating or you are barbarians. what we hope that you all leave and never disturb any one ever again. you fool, you will. yeah. at the largest reception center in levine, volunteers prepare for an influx of evacuees from the war zone. thousands have come and gone. thousands more expected in coming days. one family from a village near keith said the worst part of their journey was witnessing the horrors of war. norma, when we were passing through a russian checkpoint and saw a lot of bodies lying near the road, some of them were shot for some missing body parts. no one ever had one checkpoint

in the village. we were waiting for 2 buses that were part of our convoy, but they were all gone down by pro russian forces at another village. pro russian, chechen fighters hold people hostage, they say, knowing ukrainian military will not shoot at civilians. oh, what. what can i say? she says i'm scared a lot. i don't want to leave they are safe for now. together. warm, happy. but once his family is in poland flooded slough says he will go back to fight zane basra v o 0 live. let's bring in stephanie decker now, who also joins us from living. hello that steph. one more. can you tell us about the situation in mary, a poll after the russian request for soldiers to lay down their weapons.

well, that ultimatum pasta around 6 hours from now. the ukranian response really not surprising . the deputy prime minister irina very truck saying that there is absolutely no option to surrender and lay down their arms. also saying, what russia should be doing is focusing rather than quote, wasting time on paper. because this ultimatum was issued in the form of a letter from mushers, ministry of defense, that they should be opening humanitarian corridors. because as we've seen pictures coming out of my paulina's residence, describing it as a living hell now, as an update, just in the last hour, we've also heard from the deputy prime minister that 8 humanitarian corridors have been agreed upon with russia. but mary poll is not one of them. yes. some of the areas surrounding the city, but certainly not out of mario. poland. it is desperately needed. emily, you know, from the situation inside the city has come to a standstill. there is no war to no electricity,

no food bodies that are dead or lying in the streets, just down where they lay. people could not collect them because it is simply too dangerous that burying them where they can let say even in the parks, close to where people live. and then you have a flip side of that. you also have family members who simply cannot reach their loved ones inside maribelle. i know people have been trying to get hold of their parents of their son for over 3 weeks now. so there's desperation on both sides. having said that, some people are now managing to get out. many of them coming here through levine, you saw there in zane's package. you know, the heartbreak continues even though getting here to relative safety. you then have the next phase, a lot of families who leave their men have to stay behind. so what this war not only devastating, you know, the infrastructure and killing people, you're also having them completely rip of heart the fact the fabric of family life . so this is. ringback amanda again and again, even humanitarian agencies coiling on russia to allow for the safe passage of hundreds of thousands civilians still trapped inside mariposa. okay,

make sure you keep us updated as to how those humanitarian cargoes go. thank you very much. stephanie deca live for us in live eve, ukraine's 2nd largest city has been a target since the start of the invasion. russian forces i yet to take control of car cave. but as a sandbag reports the constant bombing has caused catastrophic damage. an eerie silence hangs over car 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 ever that my was heard all over the citizens. i lived quite close, so i myself heard it and the, the walls were shaken. and after that there were several and ours are airstrikes and then the following days,

i walked in the street thousands of times and there are so many. i great little coffee shops or restaurants on the 1st floors here and people will even hear my friends live in this house this. 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 northeastern 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 nets, as to, during the, with the vault were 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 on the minds of people in hockey would be harder to overcome. the russian 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 keith. the roof coat is historical hot. for weeks there's been bombing day and night. once a city of 1500000, many have left lose. some of those who remain struggled for food. this man brought frozen chickens and bread to donate to those in need. i'm not sure, i hopefully will end soon so that our children can leave, may put in, begun by fortune. and as the sound of artillery fills the sky, people head to the underground station to hunker down for the night. every space is taken. this included inside the trains, little jelly, my darcy been like, i tell it, 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 foot 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 russian forces have also been shelling the suburbs of the coastal city of odessa, which is a major naval and shipping hub. al jazeera spoke to diarrhea to you, rena, who lives there. she is pleading for help from the international community. we hear explosions every day, and officials say that this is our defense system. error defense system working. so as far as we're now defense system was working pretty well. the whole city i, i went out couple of times and i see pictures from the center of the city. the

whole city is in covered and barricades. we don't have like exact plan of what we will be doing, but we have our emergency bags packed just in case anything happens and we have to move quickly and to have been thinking about vacation. i mean, for now the question is, is just to get to the border. so if we, if we need to, to anyone who hears this, so any citizen of the planet, and i want to ask you to not keep silent, do not keep silence. please spread the word it's, it's little genocide of ukrainians. so please spread the word if you can please donate armed forces or ukraine. please don't aid for tenant communitarian 8, i'm sorry. and please don't. i don't care organizations that are helping the refugees. and so there's many people, many ukrainians dying from russian rockets. so please do any officials who might,

who might hear this. please close the sky over ukraine. in the capital k, the least full paypal had been killed in light night shelling the city's mer, says several homes and a shopping center where he's he has seen a number of tax in the past week that rushes advance on the capital has slowed. let's go straight to keep. now way in mind, con is standing by for us. hello, they him, ron. what more can you tell us about what's been happening in the past 24 hours with saying some scenes of mass destruction? well let me show you actually let me go the way of the camera and show you this attack happened about 103011 o'clock last night. we actually heard it from where we were about 8 kilometers away. a guesstimate would suggest that the damage is across a least a half square miles. that's a shopping mall over that. you can see it behind that building. there is where the

likely epicenter where that rocket or that missile actually struck. ah, the damage, like i say, is over a fairly wide area. ah, we're hearing the 8 people, at least were killed in this attack according to ukrainian authorities. this building that were, that were next door to the entire front of that building is completely blown away. the entire facade of that building is completely blown away. we are hearing that people are living here, but this is a relatively new building. ah, so we don't know how many people were living. hes likely though that the self defense, or, sorry, the defense or brigades would have given people the advice to sleep in the corridors rules. what we've been seeing, i have to say this is a much bigger explosion than the ones who covered in the last week. we are seeing more and more attacks like this. and now at 730 last night we did see antiaircraft fire, very near our hotel near may, don't square come into effect. another missile was shut down that we've seen this

a lot now. now, will military analysts are actually telling us, is that this may well be the russians testing out, keeps air defense systems. another, a military personal response who from the ukrainian defense as hold of the actually may, will just be chaotic shelling at this going on. a lot of this is coming from the north. those front lines of boucher and a pain where this fierce fighting going on between the russian forces under ukrainian forces is the nearest kind of front line a to here. so that's likely where these attacks are taking place from. but i'm just going to get out of the way again, it is worth showing you. certainly this is the a much bigger explosion than we've seen in recent weeks in recess in recent days. in fact, there's a lot of army soldiers we've been moved along from their position that we were before. the soldiers are now clearing. what they're doing as far as i can work out,

is looking for fragments of whatever the projectile was. was there was a mis home with lucel tele showing whatever it was at our phone, the basis of their investigation into exactly what happened here. but like a st. ukrainian authorities telling us that a least a people died in this attack. and if that's confirmed, that's a high a death told them we've seen in the previous days. yes, assembly and thank you very much for that. update him on com line for us in the capitol. keith still ahead on al jazeera, taking up bombs. we hear from a former ukranian politician who has joined the 5 to defend cave class officials in hong kong. update their code 19 restrictions with plans to live the flight back on 9 country. ah, ah,

look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored by capital airways. hey there it looks like we may see some flooding for eastern sections of spain. so here's those details. bursts of rain around valencia, whether warnings in play here over the next 12 hours, we could see up to 70 millimeters of rain, and those totals will mount. so over the next 2 days, possible to see a $180.00 plus. now for the other side of the mediterranean, we've got this northerly wind, so that's dragon down temperatures is sample rate through athens, below average is stumble, just picks up about 3 centimeters of snow. and we'll see those winds crank up to about 50 kilometers per hour, for example. ok now on to some of the good stuff for central parts of europe. plenty of sun here, temperatures, wall above average. look at paris, 18 degrees. i think you may hit 20 over the next few days and same goes for london as while, but we're going to see a bit or cloud cover. moving to the area here is 17 degrees for brussels. over

those winds, we're talking about through the g, and they're also impacting areas of libya and egypt to board, the north that stirring up the sand and dust in time for southern africa, we've got bursts of rain for eastern portions of south africa, a heat wave for the western cape coastal areas, but it is a nice stay in bill, a whale with a high of $25.00 degrees on monday. enjoy. we'll see you soon. take care the weather. sponsored by katara ways, the stages set at a time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you thing was wor, inevitable. i just want to start at the, please don't it. they're not doing the right thing. let's leave simplicity to the headlines. join me as i take on the live, dismantle the misconceptions, and defeats the contradiction. do we have a real democracy here in the united states, this political party, that's a radical insurgency. mark lamarr hill, and it's time to get up front right here on out there. ah,

ah ah hello, you're watching out there. i'm mainly angland. he's a reminder about top stories this. our deadlines set by russia are ukranian forces to surrender. in mary, a poll has now passed. he rejected moscow's offer to allow civilians to leave the city in exchange for soldiers laying down. ukrainian officials say overnight showing his kills at least people in the capital rescue teams baffling several fires after explosion. hit homes and a shopping center and an ammonia lake at a chemical plant in the northeast and city of su me has been contained. the original governor says it was caused by russian shelling over nice

isn't breaking news now and a plane carrying 133 people has crushed in china. the number of casualties and injuries isn't known at this stage. that's coming from state media out of china will bring you more details as they come to hand ukrainian president vladimir lansky has appealed to israel for help against russia. he addressed members of the israeli parliament on sunday, the landscape compared to the russian invasion of the crimes, to the crimes of nazi germany. harry faucet reports from west jerusalem. israelis gathered in tennessee to watch his speech. the blood amuse lensky had wanted play to politicians inside israel, connected 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. or history and or 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. 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 both 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 as it indifference calculation or mediation without choosing sides. i leave it to you to choose the answer to this question. i only know 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 that 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, harry, for said algeria west seriousness and ammonia lake has been reported at

a chemical plant in the north east, in ukrainian city of sue me, an employee at the sue me, kim. chrome plant has been engine. the regional governor says it was the result of russian shelling, but the lake has now been contained the site emergency services. there is no threat to the population. me, my protests have been taking place in the ukrainian city of curse song against the russian invasion. i have a chance to go home as they confronted su military vehicles. the vehicles turned around and left the area. russia says it now controls the entire person region. you as president joe biden is due to visit pole in this wake after making of nato ladies in brussels. the lions is likely to consider further aid for ukraine, but i will have long term issues to discuss. russell and jordan has been following de elements from washington, d. c. the nato meeting convened by the secretary general. this coming thursday and

brussels will include the world leaders of the military alliance. and certainly they're going to be discussing the best ways to improve security assistance to the ukrainian military. but the world leaders, including the u. s. president joe biden, and the british prime minister boris johnson, are also going to have an opportunity to talk about ways of trying to keep diplomacy on track. russian and ukrainian diplomats are supposed to meet on monday to try once again to find a way to get to a cease fire. but the bigger question of how to reach a lasting peace between the 2 countries is certainly already top of mind in world capitals. there's also the question of trying to make certain that the economic sanctions package is actually taking effect in russia, and that it is somehow having an impact on the way that vladimir putin, the russian president, is prosecuting this war. but certainly they're going to have to start thinking

about what happens once the war ends. how should the west engage with russia if lot are more potent, is still empower china's ambassador to the u. s. denies. badging is providing military assistance to russia. speaking on american television, he said his country is against the war. a new crime is a additional nation about china, providing military assistance to russia. we reject that. you know what, i know not what china is doing is sent food medicine slipping backs and the baby formula now to weapons and ammunition to adding party. and we danced to what i said, you know, we will do everything to escalate the crisis.

i know tang in is the thing international fellow at the ty institute. he says that china hype to avoid criticism and focus on a road map to pace. but what's interesting is that you and 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 and off, ram to negotiate. peace, that's equally rational way of solving this from the chinese perspective. they don't see that war as being the answer. obviously, people with a v, b and c, a very much western centered idea. you know, that 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 crisis going on that war. and there's tremendous service going that way. but the civil east can go towards russia as well, because many chinese, c u. s. using the same kind of pressure tactics against it will terms of taiwan and 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 you try to get them to the table. ukrainians from all walks of life have joined the fighting against russia. tiana novel is a widowed mother of to her husband was killed during fighting in the 8th back in 2014. she was a journalist and then a member of parliament. now she's serving in an anti tank unit

which will see who you want to be, who that's just to show you why she was in again. you duncan, when we saw tanks appearing, and we literally ran to our position, i ran to my operator. see, well, it's not really a scene, but rather a case because i was to repair. what did i switch it on and see tanks on my screen . they just entered within the range of my missile. i took aim and destroyed the 1st tank. interestingly though, the rocket was flying for quite some time. perhaps the tanks registered the rockets launch and managed to turn back, but i shot it right at the fuel tanks and the ammunition load has detonated the tank literally flew off the road. and now it is somewhere in the road ditch in the forest. after that we came under fire, not for long though, all during this time the russian military vehicles returning back and escaping. it's better that they just don't come here. they'll end up buried here if they will

become fertilizer, better they go home and not listen to their evil government to the world news now and hong kong is aging. some of it's covered 19 restrictions in class learning will resume for students in april and the current time period for travelers entering the territory will be reduced for climate fall. this report from hong kong. these was some of the strictest border controls in the entire world. so for evidence here, it does come as a huge relief crossing the quarantine period to 7 days. if you test negative at scrapping that white band from 9 different countries, including the united kingdom, including united states as failure, india. this caused a huge headache and a lot of heartache. it must be said as well for families here who weren't able to go and come back and see family members because of the quarantine time because the expense of it because they couldn't take time off work. so indeed, it is a relief for people his residency, but also to the business community who have been crying foul about this,

these border measures for many months and it must be said, these border restrictions have been in place more or less for 2 years, a different shape or form at one time, at one point, it was 3 weeks quarantine. on arrival, we had business tycoon like allen ziemen saying that the measures would jeopardize the city status as a financial hub as a gateway between east and west. so certainly, the cries were growing louder from the business community. there are also another host of strict measures that the government says it will be relaxed and then coming weeks and months, including the 2 people gathering ban a dining curfews right now the beaches are closed. there's mandatory mass where even if you're on the hiking trails, even if you're exercising outside, these kinds of things will also be relax, were told on the provision that there is no surge or rebound of cases in the coming weeks and months. that is one thing that carry land, the chief executive of hong kong has warned that if cases do go up again,

like we've seen over the last couple of months, then those measures may not be relax. a gorgeous jury to rule in the case of pole recess. a began a, he's the man whose actions during the $994.00 were wandered genocide. in spite of the film hotel rwanda, he was sent his last year on terrorism offences. the prosecution is seeking to increase. he was 25 prison term. but rights groups have condemned his trial saying that charges stem from his criticism of president polka gum a recessive again, is credited with helping to save the lives of more than 1000 people. ah, hello, what you know just there are these are the stories were following this hour. we begin with some breaking news in china, eastern airlines playing, carrying 133 people has crash.
