5:02 pm
but there are people in basements. so we bury them here with them with a problem. it is difficult to see how life can go on for people in a place like this. look at me, my do, but we didn't. we story the blockade marybell. 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 are escaping war every day. but getting to safety can mean risking your life active conflicts. firms, russian checkpoints, ukrainian say it's difficult to know which way is safe. and not everybody makes it . not about 90 louis 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 residents fled a city still under russian attack from levine, a please,

5:05 pm
a great deal of resilience as, as conflict approaches almost a month now. and that resilience is reflected in the actions of not only the soldiers, but their leaders, for example, the rejection of safe passage and exchange for the surrender of mario pole. when it comes to humanitarian corridors that did cost them something. the expected opening of a corridor from murray or bull into safer areas like levine that has not happened today, in fact, has been left off the list of the h monetary and corridors that are operating and open today. so that is certainly something that is a difficult reality to face. we have had arrivals of people from the ve, the manage to leave earlier a few days ago. and they've been making their way into cities like levine and then further on into poland and across europe. the united nations estimates a 10000000 people so far have been displaced. 3000000 of them have left the country and gone in to mostly poland and then onwards into europe, and the restaurant displaced inside the country. and we've been looking at some reports that look at what the ukrainian military saying ukraine and general staff pointing to the information they have that seems to suggested russia is preparing
5:06 pm
for a long war. which means any sort of illustration of this conflict will mean inevitably that more people are likely to be displaced before the concept is over. or i don't leave it there. thanks so much for that examples. robbie. the idea of when you curfew is being imposed in ukraine's capital from late monday to wednesday, ah, as full as another explosion at the sight of a shopping center that was hit late on sunday, killing at least 8 people rescue teams had been looking through the rebel to find survivors be attacked on the shopping center happened in the podbielski district just outside the city center. sputter hours dry from the presidential palace and parliament building and rank on has more now from keith. this is jack happened about 1030 last night. i'm gonna give you a closer look at where our, what is clearly some very heavy ordinance landed but 1030. but daylight revealed at
5:07 pm
the full extent of the damage at you can see that the construction workers and people clearing the debris about an hour and a half ago, there was a controlled explosion here of what seems to be left over ordinance. we've also seen anti acro fire from close to head, go up into the sky, and throughout their 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 mold i shove most, but 2 years old, this is a residential building. there's actually parts of it are still being built and i will residence, told us is when the sad jack happened. they felt that was that they felt 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 suggested, this is about half square kilometer of
5:08 pm
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 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 have been telling us. however, it is. oh, 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 the slightly older neighborhoods within the north of keep itself. i'm gonna show you, you can probably see in the background there some black smoke. that's actually an appeal. that's where the, 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 the offensive into keep has actually slightly stole. now what military analysts is suggesting is
5:09 pm
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 keeps. and the ukranian air defense systems. it's a, a big talking point for president vladimir lindsey, he's us international community for 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 in moscow. the criminal spokesman dmitri prescott says there has not been any significant progress in talks between russia and ukraine. ash malavar has more now from oscar. from a passion perspective, the grievance is the hub in shaping their narrative. over the last few weeks is basically not only the problem in ukraine, but they say that the americans and nature betrayed russia back in the ninety's. and particularly when this thought of the major expansion asked was particularly in 1997. and they said we wanted to renegotiate the whole security architecture with
5:10 pm
americans and my nephew, but they were dismissive, they never said that they were willing to move forward. and this is why now love just quoting russian learning, but it says a girl of roasting that will last illusion. we have no illusions whatsoever that we can rely on the americans in the near future will 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 with nato. so we're talking about 2 paths 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 on 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 agreements as the hub in voice by the rushes. and this why the russians are saying this time, we are ardent,
5:11 pm
we're not going to let the rush of americans betray us the same way that is back in 1997. will only we spoke to a former ukranian president petro pershing code. he said that ukrainian should fought bravely to hold off the russian advance, but they desperately need more help from the outside world. throughout the country, ukrainian demonstrate a miracle, stopping their big russian army and demo surprise, the world. we here to fight for the whole europe to fight for the full world. and we stop here. they put, you know, we definitely demonstrate the unique uni of the ukrainians. and we re definite the count of the unity of the whole world. and i want to thank all the world for the resolution of the general assembly, united nation, when one act, what one countries vote for us. there is no, any nation in the world. one fees smaller than be great,
5:12 pm
but we never give up. and therefore, the piece not can be delays. and with that situation, if now we allow you to grab your brain food, you do not. so who can go as far as we the world allow them to go? and that's why to help you to assist ukraine to come to play, not by the money or military to help us to save the world. we need a pool embargo embargo and the freight and this is the 5th package of sanctions, which is already on the table of the european union. and on the 24th of march, the president by don't will have a g 7 meeting will dissipate 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 butcher, and if we do not increase the pressure on port gym to bring at this at their board
5:13 pm
will never and it, and the please do not put all the pressure just on the ukraine. we are here paying this huge price with the thousands and thousands of your grade in. are you crazy president of his lensky, his cold on you? lead is to do more. to stop russia. seamless, she vice, seamless, our values are the same as your ukraine, as part of europe. you can see our desire to be together with europe and part of europe like we are fighting for it on the battlefield. you can find for this with your words, 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. no one has the right to destroy people. the crating lead is comments come as you and foreign defense ministers meeting in brussels to discuss the latest
5:14 pm
development and ukraine. these foreign policy chief, us just a pearl, said the indiscriminate bombing and merrier poll could amount to a war crime. this is something awful. have to condemn in the stronger terms which is a war crying, a massive war cry, and what's happening that will be completely destroyed. and people will be odd by why we will continue to work in supporting ukraine with all of our sources. will continue talking about what kind of sanction we can think again, more especially rated energy. well, let's say enough from james base who's in brussels. he says, your officials are seriously considering imposing tough a sanctions 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 nate nature of state and government coming here on thursday, president biden making
5:15 pm
a trip to europe. and i think they will 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 further. and particularly there's a disagreement on energy. on cutting, rushes, oil and gas imports into europe. europe relies the u. about 40 percent of its energy comes from russia. that would be a very big move, but it's opposed by some countries. a 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 still ahead here
5:16 pm

5:20 pm
gigi paying has ordered an investigation. katrina, you is in beijing and house more from now. we do know that if this was a boeing 737 passenger plane run by the airline, china easton, and it deposit from the chinese city of couldn't being. and you none province at around 1 pm, local time that it was destined to the city of one jo due to arrive at 3 pm. that's gone. joe, not far from hong kong. so this is not a very long flight. it's less than 2 hours. now, according to trying to civil aviation authority, it was carrying 132 people, including 9 crew members. now officials say that they lost contact with the aircraft as a blue of a globe. she proven an area known as drawing up the time they said it was cruising at about 30000 feet before it abruptly started descending. now there's no wood on the clothes whatsoever. we do know that according to state
5:21 pm
media rescue teams are on the way and there were a number of social media video circulating, supporting to show steam of the crash. and that tells us 2 things. one that this is the inexperience, the remote mountainous region. so it will not be easy for rescue team to reach this area. and secondly, this crash appears to have caused a wildfire as well in this area so far, no official statement had been made by the airline boeing. but we do know that the websites have both turned to black and white out of respect to the assumed victims of this crush run bunches. the finally director of, of law ation consulting. and he says, the 1st 24 hours will be crucial for investigators. 37800 has been work course. and i believe that china a still have over $600.00 jet aircraft. and i think they've got turn somewhere along the lines of 13737. so it's very reliable aircraft. and
5:22 pm
it's, it's quite a amazing story that an across can crash on our plant. it's not wise to speculate that look to our to flight and it was 40 minutes landing and it probably would normally if been at top of descent. so you're looking at next thing about $30000.00 seat. but apparently our witness accounts indicate that it crushed into terrain at a very high speed. so it's most most unusual situation. they've got to make sure that the, the wreckage site is being completely contained because it's within the 1st 24 hours that they've got to make sure that they can find all that. and obviously the, the evidence will be from the cockpit voice recorder in the black box that will
5:23 pm
give indications as to what happened on what dick during that time the u. s. has determined the violence committed against me amongst muslim or hinder amounts of genocide and crimes. against humanity, more than 730000 in jeff fled the western kind state in 2017, when the military stage of brutal cracked groups have documented the burning villages and killing civilians. memoirs already facing charges of genocide and the international court of justice. the talking guest for henry was widespread in systematic which is crucial for reaching a determination of crimes against humanity. the evidence also points to a clear intent behind these mass atrocity, the intent to destroy will injure in whole or in part. that intent has been corroborated by the accounts of soldiers who took part in the operation and later defected, such as one who said he was told by his commanding officer to and i quote,
5:24 pm
shoot at every sight of a person and burned villages rate and kill women orders that he and his unit carried over and let's be tor corresponded pedagogy. heidi joins us from washington, dc. this is no putty, a formal determination from the united states. what is the impact with luggage and it doesn't happen very often. the secretary himself said, since ford war 2, they've declared jet aside and crimes against humanity in 7 instances. this is now the 8th. so what are the practical implications? well, 1st i can, you can expect probably more sanctions to come from the u. s. and potentially other allies, as they look to further isolate the military leadership, which we can't forget took over our power in a coo and also they're going to be putting pressure on western companies to get, get out of me and mar, and potentially impact one of their large sources of revenue,
5:25 pm
which is their oil and gas fields. one other concrete step that the secretary laid out is a $1000000.00 going to the independent investigation. that is looking at potentially future cases in the international criminal court. and the secretary himself seemed to say, this is going to take a long time, but he's also at the same time putting pressure on other countries, you know, to notably mentioned russia and china, to stop giving weapons to the military leadership. again, the took over in a qu, so in you may be asking yourself why now after 5 years that since this is happened . well, we understand that the lawyers and investigators put together all of the information for the trump administration so that they could have possibly taken this step, but they decided not to in their ongoing conflict with china trying to keep that alliance. so the step has now been taken the secretary of state making this in front front of the holocaust museum. and really just laying out the case for why
5:26 pm
the united states believes that this is an appropriate designation. again, right, the effects might not be immediate, but he is saying that over the long term those responsible will be brought to justice. but over the immediate term, you can expect probably a lot more sanctions from the united states and trying to get other countries on board as well, or a party facts about public a home jordan from washington d. c. now, doesn't mean as a gary radcliffe has called for the release of presidents being held unjustly in iran, british arabian national was detained, alongside a new share surety for nearly 6 years in iran, they were accused of plotting to overthrow the government speaking for the 1st time since her release 6 days ago, she said they would never be free to men or on until all those being held were reduced. the other 2 nationals, unit members of a religious groups or who prisoners of conscious who are. i mean,
5:27 pm
we do realize that if i have been in prison for 60 years, there are so many other people, we don't know their names who have been, you know, suffering in prison in iran. so i, i think the justice in iran does not have any meaning because in the worst case scenario you are, you know, be given there the unfair trial. if you're lucky, then you'll be picked up by, by a kind of semi fair judge. but in most cases here, nothing like at least 95 people have been injured. when 2 trains collided into nicea, it happened in the capital tunis. no deaths have been reported authority say only one of the trains had passengers. the other was empty. the cause is still unknown on kong is easing some of its covered 90 restrictions, flight bands will be scrapped to the quarantine period for residents will be reduced from 14 days to 7 for climate as more an apparent see change in hong kong approach to cove at 19 on mondays, chief executive,

5:29 pm
chinese cc delegates. we all in 9 of that. so we believe that we should focus on increasing the vaccination rate, especially among the last week, lam conceded tolerance of the severe measures was fading. the tough policy has also weighed on the economy. business leaders like alan ziemen have warned the strict measures could have a lasting impact on the city status of the financial hub. a host of other social differences. roles are also set to be phase out in the next month, also including the 2 person gathering limits and designing cookies. schools will go back to face to face learning from next month. a little bit of relax. restriction. it's a good oh my, i don't agree would. removing the flat band covered 1900 positive people all over the world? if we allow people to come here hong kong cannot deal with it. it's been a pain to all the citizens. i do believe, but toys, plastic arm and how much i feel like she might change it again. so lamb says,
