that's right, nick, we've had the good fortune of being able to speak to a number of ukrainians throughout this conflict. and the one thing that we keep realizing and noticing with people we speak to is, is there enormous resilience in the face of the worst experience that many of them are going through in their lifetime. and certainly that resilience is reflected in their soldiers. ready as their leaders with that rejection, as you said, of that surrender offer of safe passage for anyone who wanted to leave mario paul if they surrender the city. now that does come with a cost. we were expecting mario paul, to be on the list of one of the humanitarian corridors open for people to get to safety to get from the east of the country and conflicts on into the west. mario pole is not on that list of humanitarian corridors. ready that is open and active today. however, those that were able to get out of the city earlier are starting to make their way into the vive. here's some of their stories. enduring the obstacles of war, the indignity,

4:07 pm
survivors, kiva seen a number of attacks in the past week, but russia's advance on the city has slowed and run. con has more now from ki von those russian attacks. this attack happened about 1030 last night. i'm going to give you a closer look at where our, what is clearly some. busy very heavy ordinance landed by 1030, but daylight revealed at the full extent of the damage at you can see are the construction workers and people clearing the debris. about an hour and a half ago, there was a controlled explosion here of what seemed to be left over ordinance. we've also seen anti acro fire from close to head, go up into the sky. and throughout the morning we've been hearing bombardments going off whether it's incoming or outgoing. now, this is certainly one of the largest attacks i've seen in a central clear we're in the north of here, brother. ah, that's a shopping mill. that shop knows. but 2 years old, this is a residential building,
4:08 pm
there's actually parts of it are still being built. now what residence told us is when this an attack happened, they felt that was it, they thought the sky to quote, one of them was, sky was falling in on their heads. they thought they were about to die. we actually heard the attack from where we were about 8 kilometers away. now, a guesstimate was suggest that this is about half square kilometer of a damage. several buildings now the that building next to us, the entire front of that building has been completely damaged. and what the local defence authorities is telling residences to actually sleep in their lobbies and not sleep anywhere near any glass. and that's certainly what a lot of the residents that have been telling us, or however it is no, no military target around here. i once again, this is a residential neighborhood and it's a residential neighborhood. i'm relatively new on. we've seen attacks against a slightly older neighborhoods within the north of keep itself. i'm gonna show you
4:09 pm
can probably see in the background there some black smoke. that's actually an appeal. that's where the one of the front lines were russian forces are still trying to push their way along. what military analysts have suggested is that again, they can take over boucher and a pin that may well be a staging ground for a further offensive in to key. but it looks like it feels like that be offensive into keep has actually slightly still now, what military analysts is suggesting is that there may be 2 reasons for these attacks that are happening in keep itself one of them. it may well be just to try and test heaves and the ukranian air defense systems. it's a, a big talking point for president vladimir lindsey. he's also international community, a full air defense systems and to close the skies. but the closest guys effectively a nicer flies on is not something that nato want to do for fear of escalation or knowledge speak to ukraine's former president petri parisha anchor, who joined us now from keith. welcome to the program, mister parish and co canarsie festival. what your current assessment of is,

4:14 pm
it lead, it would be the position when we need the control of the air. and point number 3, that would be the a position of the a muscle plan. and the old countries should participate in that because russia bring their acumen is dead and disaster. and with this situation, definitely it will work for in time before is their west. second prompt everything, but soldiers and for that situation, we need additional sanction. by the way, this is also request to the arabic world, because this is bring their food crisis in the world, the war of russia inside, inside ukraine, because last only picking up a point on the line of defects. mr. persia anchor. because then we know we learned that we know that we know that sanctions and very, very unlikely. the father sanctions a very round lightly. we don't get any information from the you meetings of defense
4:15 pm
and foreign ministers at a meeting right now in brussels. that that is going to happen in the journey once of pulls on new sanctions. that's why we make a special request to the german chancellor. i'll, it's a bit more optimistic than you about the sanction. and the sanction so would be not only personal sanction or are some are no object sanction we need a full embargo bartalone the trait and this is the 5th package of sanctioned which is already on the table of the european union. and on the 24th, oh for march there, pres them by don't, will have a g 7 meeting will participate in the european union council meeting and will participate on their mate assignment. and with this situation, all 3 at world institution would make a decision about ukraine, how to stop bullion. and if we do not increase the pressure on full gym to bring a piece at the board will never end it. and please do not put all the pressure
4:16 pm
just on ukraine. we are here paying the huge price with the thousands and thousands of your grain and, and the v with thousands of thousands of took toner block of you brain, him. buck and we are, i big quilt also has a his own role because we're now when we ask about the embargo for russian oil and guests at the old golf countries has an opportunity to increase oil and gas and right to the old market. and this is exactly what we're looking for from you. this is kal postel not to allow the food crisis. and this is help us to store the danger for the food security. and this is helping to keep their oil process prices when they're embargoed, the russian oil and gas will be introduced because this is immoral when they're billions of dollars every week. a euro friend will pay to the russia is financing
4:17 pm
the killing of ukrainians. and this is mr. parker and i just went on one final question, i'm sorry to interrupt, but just running out of time. but just one final question. i see that you're in military fatigues there at all you fighting alongside your fellow ukrainians. would you be prepared to lay down your life in this fight located for a, for my life, for that depending that piece? definitely yes. but now you should understand that all ukraine and not soldiers, and i am the soldiers, and all your training not demonstrate and that miracle of the self organization. and that's help hostile style quote you and we are now in the in key if and the in the key, every agent organizing their button and we, i mean, these battalion definite, now tricks per person can be present. we time lisa, my voice via fight for europe, and we applied for the world. this is it, everybody should understand. thank you, sir,
4:18 pm
for your time. thanks. well, let's get the view from rationale. a kremlin spokesman dmitri pet gulf says there hasn't been any significant progress in talks between moscow and ukraine. i shall butter as in the capital of moscow's, i shall tell us more about why these talks have stool nick earth as far as the spokesperson of the kremlin dmitri pasco, the meeting bit, when russian president vladimir putting the cranium president, president, one of the more lensky will only happen once there is some tangible progress of the key sticking points which are now on the tables and which both parties are trying to negotiate for quite some time. the russians have a list of demands. they say, if met, that could turn a chapter and pay the way for a new era, the one the ukrainians to recognize crimea as russian. and they want the ukrainians
4:19 pm
to recognize the, to a brick where republics in the, in the east as independent states law, ganske and on yes. and on the issue of the neutral status of ukraine, it seems that both parties are moving forward with the ukrainians themselves, saying that they are open to the idea of that neutrality thing. because for the russians is quite instrumental. it will mean that the ukrainians won't be able to contemplate the idea of joining night day to any time in the, in the future, which is very important from a russian is perspective. now we have to wait and give it some time and see whether there will be any breakthrough, particularly on the issue of the occur. crimea. the russians are saying this is part of russia and the ukrainians. have to take this into account and they have to
4:20 pm
understand elegance and an yes are now independent states. this is one part of the story. nick from a boshamp perspective, the grievances, the habits shaping their narrative over the last few weeks is basically not only the problem in your grade, but they say that the americans and nature trade russia back in the ninety's. and particularly when they started, their major expansion asked, was particularly in 1997. and they said we wanted to, we negotiate the whole security architecture with americans that were naperville. but they were dismissive, they never said that they were willing to move forward. and this is why now like love just quoting russian learning, but it says i gala wrote saying that we lost illusion. we have no illusions whatsoever that we can rely on the americans in the near future. we are on the need to work and you security architecture. and this explains the sense of frustration that the russians have been having over for quite some time with the americans. and
4:21 pm
with data, so we're talking about 2 paths are, which are now going at the same time, which is the talks with the ukrainians about the need to start a cease fire and then a comprehensive arrangement that but that is going to take quite some time and then all the other hand, you have this need about the need for in use security architecture in europe where the americans and the nato should listen to some of the grievances, the happy voice by the rushes. and this why the russians are saying this time, we are adamant. we're not going to let the rush of america beatrice, the same way that is back in 1997. all right, that's a picture in moscow hush marbra. thanks look. ukraine's president vladimir lensky has called on e u. leaders to do more to stop russia in ashley field. misty she vices in our values, are the same as yours, ukraine. as part of europe, you can see our desire to be together with europe and part of europe while we are fighting for it on the battlefield. you can find for this with your words,
4:22 pm
with your pressure on the politicians. germans, you have the power. europe has the power, which is more than any missiles and tanks, without trade with you, your companies and banks. russia won't have money for this war. in order to have peace as soon as possible, you can do it just no one has the right to destroy people, or the ukrainian leaders commons come as e u foreign and defense ministers that meeting brothels to discuss the latest of elements in ukraine. these foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, said the indiscriminate bombing and maria poll could amount to a war crime. so this is something awful. we have to condemn into stronger terms. this is a war crying, a mason war cry, and what's happening in the city will be completely destroyed. and people will be odd by what we will continue to work in supporting ukraine with all of our sources. we continue talking about what kind of sanction we can think again, more especially rated vending machines. let's big throughout. diplomats get it to
4:23 pm
james base, who's in brussels and james, the you foreign policy chief talking about war crimes. ahead of what is an important and busy week in diplomacy? yes, you say we've got foreign ministers in defense ministers of the europe in union meeting . now, some of this preparatory work because we've actually got their bosses coming in later in the week. we have all of the heads of state and all of the nature of the state and government coming here on thursday, president biden making a trip to europe. and i think they'll be showing us show of unity and also thinking what else can they do and particularly on the issue of sanctions. that's a difficult one. now for the european union, they surprised everyone i think by the stringent nature of the sanction, some of the toughest sanctions they've ever put in place. but they've got to the point, i think, where they going to find it hard to go any further and find consensus to go any
4:24 pm
further. and particularly there's a disagreement on energy on cutting, rushes, oil and gas imports into europe. europe relies d u about 40 percent of its energy comes from russia. that would be a very big move, but it's opposed by some countries. notably germany is among those countries. so talk about sanctions again, and maybe they will find some of the loopholes that might be there in the existing sanctions and put in another package of sanctions. but i don't think it's going to go as far as the ukrainians want, and deal with the energy sector or james, james baser in brussel. well, yes, president joe biden is due to visit poland this week after macy of nato leaders in brussels at the the alliance is light. it's consider for the aid for ukraine, for that. let's go live to our white house correspondent. that is, kimberly hallett, and kimberly tell us more what's anticipated from this trip by the present. yeah,
4:25 pm
late odd of poland to the president scheduled. the reason has a lot to do with not only concern about the need for additional humanitarian a but also the fact that poland is a crucial ally of the united states. given the fact that a host, thousands of us troops and of course has been one of the nations that is taking in the largest number of refugees as a result of this crisis. so the u. s. president will be visiting poland, but what he won't be doing is visiting ukraine like his secretary of state entity, blank and did very briefly earlier this month. now, in addition to visiting poland in advance of that, we know the u. s. president, of course, will be going to belgium, where he will be meeting with nato leaders. this is a meeting of deterrence and defense, where they will be discussing those strategies at how to deal with the now openly provocative vladimir putin. the, according to some of the people that happens,
4:26 pm
could sort of consulting a preparing for this meeting. and we also know that this is a meeting that's going to be about trying to ensure that this conflict between ukraine and russia does not escalate. in other words, the big fear of the united states in the west of this could escalate, become a war between russia and nato. and that is something that is hoped to avoid. so this is a meeting the was present, will take part in addition to the meeting or the summit of the economic council discuss sanctions is james was mentioning and then on to poland where he will meet with president today. but even before the u. s. president is heading to europe. he is going to be consulting with european leaders. in fact, he's going to be taking a phone call with all of them. i suspect it might even be a video conference call. that is set to begin in about 90 minutes time participating in that would be the leader of italy, france, and also the united kingdom as well as germany. stimulate thanks that can be held

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 the president for sharing his feelings and the plight of the cranium. people hurry for said al jazeera western, russia and ukraine have called for foreign volunteers to join the sides. one of those on through the call is a college student from new york. he joined ukrainian forces and had a narrow escape on the front line. the capital of kings. yeah, i got some cuts. i got some glass on my face as no big deal. reds got a nice little head injury. i said,

4:41 pm
another name is a gaudy ratcliffe. his cool for the release of prison is being held unjustly in iran. the british, iranian national, was detained alongside a new, she has fury for nearly 6 years in iran. they were accused of plotting to overthrow the government. and speaking for the 1st time since her release 6 days ago, she said they would never be freedom in or on until all those being held were released. oh, i tell you live now to washington dc way us sector state. anthony lincoln is making announcements about the violence committed against mamma's re hinge of minority. let's listen. this is this is something of a sacred place for me. every time i walked through these doors i, it has the same, same impact. and so i'm grateful to sarah on her leadership on this institution, naomi who walked us through the extraordinary exhibit on the story
4:42 pm
the play doh engine that we'll be talking about today. i urge everyone come see this experience, this. it will speak incredibly powerful to the entire team behind this essential institution behind. he exhibited, thank you for your enduring efforts to teach us the darkest parts of history and the work you're doing to strive that the past does not become prolonging. it's your efforts to make this museum a living memorial. that is the incredible enduring power. this institution. one of the unsettling truths of the united states paula osborne museum, is that there is never a time i visit here when it's lessons do not feel deeply resident. but i have to tell you i can recall few times when that history felt so urgent
4:43 pm
or the responsibility didn't parts on all of us. so pressing as we me, the russian government continues to wage is unprovoked. brutal warn you frank. each day brings more harrowing attacks. more innocent men, women and children killed. that includes the 5 people who are killed in a strike on march 1st. on a tv tower and the surrounding area on the opposite. keith. the same site where just over 80 years ago. 33771 jews were killed by the nazis in just 2 days. bobby r. ukraine is home to nearly $10000.00 holocaust survivors, including an 88 year old natalia burns iowa of odessa. here's what she said in a recent interview. and i quote, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that in 1941 i had to hide in the
4:44 pm
basement of this building. and that i'm going to have to do that again. now. kremlin has tried to justify this war by falsely claiming that it's intervening to stop genocide abusing the term that we reserved for the grave us atrocities disrespecting every victim of this heinous crime. yet, even as we're working to increase international pressure on the criminal into and is unjustified war, we don't, there are many other places in the world where horrific atrocities are being committed over recent weeks. as i've spoken with it from us, from around the world about ukraine, i've also heard a constant refrain. many of them say, yes, we stand with the people ukraine, but we must also stand with the people suffering atrocities and other places like sion, john, where the chinese government continues to commit genocide and crimes against humanity against predominantly muslim wiggers and other minority groups. like the
4:45 pm
atrocities committed in the conflicts ethiopian by all parties to that conflict. as well as by oratory forces. and like the recent flare up in dar for sudan, which raises alarming echoes of past acts of genocide by brochures, government forces, and the january standing with victims of atrocities is what brings me here today. one of my responsibilities, the secretary is determining on behalf of the united states whether atrocities have been committed. it's an immense responsibility that i take very seriously, particularly given my family's history. beyond the holocaust, all the united states is concluded that genocide was committed 7 times. today, march the as i have determined that members of the burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against revenge. the decision that i reached
4:46 pm
based on reviewing a factual assessment and legal analysis prepared by the state department. which included detailed documentation by range of independent impartial sources, including human rights organizations like amnesty international and human rights watch. as well as our own rigorous fact finding. among those sources was a joint report published in november 2017 by the museum simon scott center for the venture of genocide and human rights scoop fortify rights and the museums determination. in december 2018 that there is compelling evidence the burmese military committee crimes against humanity and genocide against ro engine given the gravity. this determination, it was also important that this administration conduct its own analysis of the facts and the law.
4:47 pm
all right, we im sorry about that. we just lost the audio from the united states holocaust memorial museum in washington, dc where the secretary of state antony blinkin is talking at he was speaking about 3 at violence committed by the ro hinge a chilly ranger minority by might might be a most military game from england, marching se, se amounts to genocide and crimes against humanity forced nearly one to lead said join protocol hain is weaned formerly that washington dc. so patio actually blinking med reading, evoking history from to current conflicts in lee. in his declaration of genocide in miramar, take a moment to share some findings. exactly. it's not quite clear what labeling this genocide is going to do. it's been almost 5 years if we believe that the state department had collected all the evidence under the trump administration. but then decided not to go ahead and label that
4:48 pm
a genocide. so what happens now once the secretary has made this designation? well, it's clear that more sanctions will likely be implied. the other effect is likely to really put pressure on other western companies to stop doing business in me. and me are, we know that natural gas and oil companies are still giving a great bit of the revenue that the june to rely on. so this will put additional pressure on them to in fact, leave. it also has the potential to have trials as the international criminal court . but it's, i think, more than just about me in march as he made it clear he's sending the message to people in russia. and then he mentioned china as well, given the ongoing conflict crane, suddenly tried to send the message to, that's his bladder, mere putin. but the generals, the generals who are ordering these strikes on schools and hospitals,
4:49 pm
that they could down the line if they find themselves out of russia, find themselves before the international criminal court. so sending the message, trying to send the message that this is continuing thing for the united states, that they will continue to evaluate, try to find the legal basis and then potentially pursue cases and not just in the me and me are, but in russia and possibly china as well as opposed to one of the implications of this, like i'm sorry. what are the implications of this likely to be if this announcement the implications are going to be now that the united states is going to be under pressure to do even more sanctions? obviously since the crew there, they have been looking to increase pressure on the really military. so more sanctions sending the message to companies don't do business and me and mar, we've seen that's had
4:50 pm
a great effect in russia. so this designation takes something that really been on the back burner. i really remember this is 5 years ago and the us says there about 750000 were here that had to flee into neighboring countries. thousands were killed. arson rates, all of these atrocities. so it's been 5 years. so i think what's the by the ministration is signaling here is that although the previous administration refused to condemn it, partially because of what to try pressure on china. that this is going to be a priority for the biden administration, 14 months in to their administration. really just sending the message that they are going to continue to pursue these charges of genocide and crimes against humanity. not just me and me are but potentially in russia and possibly china as well. are about 30 petty guy reporting that from washington dc. thanks a lot. all right, let's move on to this book. jeremy stanley, bob. thank you. nick ra, founded out a perfect thought to the tennis season,
