6:04 pm
they don't know what will be hit next when it will be next. and currently we are hearing the air raid sirens going off, and that happens throughout the day. and even the night are very difficult situation to cope with, certainly for the people who've left who are left in khaki. thank you very much for that aside. big now, russian forces have intensified their attacks on the besieged city of merrier pole . the southern port city has been under siege for weeks, but their advance has largely sold on all fronts. vain, but stroppy reports mar, you, bull is being bombed into the past. ukrainian se, economic infrastructure factories warehouses are non military targets. survivors now suffering war will inevitably suffer in the future. their livelihoods destroyed . ah, on the ground rushes chechen soldiers hardened fighters continue to push on residential areas and suburbs,

waiting to meet them may be ukrainian volunteers like these math actors, singers, artists all defending their home suited to the boys so far. well, old people of volunteers really autumn, who basically never had a gun in the hands of never served in the army. they never thought that they would have a gun in their hands, sneezed, but all of them all with all of their intentions, are determined to resist. and this desire just brought all of them here, sir. what fear is natural, he says, to control it. you must embrace, oh, a small unit with little training days away from going into the fray. not to block rushes advance on the capital. mario pl keith turn a give satellite pictures show the russian armies use of artillery where its ground forces have been stalled by lethal ukrainian hit and run attacks the magazine vigil
6:06 pm
in khaki region. another enemy jet was shot down these crew. our forces have already shut down so many russian jets and helicopters that we can only state instead of containing brains, their pilots heads. i empty, you look, i said as well, and this is not by accident. their hearts and souls are all so empty. unharmed but not untouched by the fighting performers in drove each have new rolls with cooking meals for soldiers on the front lines to moisture. yet the kiwis live. there is a saying that when the guns sound uses are silent, but we are not silent. we are in the rear. we are engaged in volunteer work because ukraine is in a difficult situation now to nasha. since the invasion began, they've sent thousands of meat balls and dumplings as well as meat stew soup, fish, and pancakes. from here to cave a, as long as their people remain in harm's way for this theatre troop,
6:07 pm
the show must go on. zen basra. v o g 0. levine, and rob mcbride is also in the veil, joins us now. live, rob, and let's start with, with the talks. i mean present lensky has said he's ready to compromise way. are we with those stocks between the 2 sides? that's right. we are continuing to have a talk about towards which in theory is all to the good we hear from the crime then for example, that they have put forward various proposals to the ukrainians. they say they have had some feedback to some of those proposals, but not to others without going into any detail with the president landscape offices, bull bull coming. we know, for example, that he has said he is willing to make concessions on this very so any question of nato membership, but he's willing perhaps, to concede that he has intimated that before which it would go a long way to satisfy you would you would have thought that the russian demands, he also conceded, perhaps things like making
6:08 pm
a brushing and official language in parts of ukraine when it comes to territorial demand. that's when things get a lot more difficult. but we do know from the lens keys office, that at least the 2 sides are talking even if it is by internet, by email, back and forth. so they are in contact me while the course the humanitarian efforts is picking up here in the b. this is where we have seen the gateway, if you like, for many hundreds of thousands of refugees wanting to escape from the conflict. moving through here and passing in the recent weeks to the european neighbors of the ukraine. and it coincides with the big foot by international agencies. organizations such as eunice f, for example, which is in the process of setting up a system of blue dot centers or hubs. these are centers with european neighbors with ukraine intended to help the show by the tearing crisis, some of the vulnerable families coming across and in particular the children. let me bring in here, james, elder from you, this f to talk
6:09 pm
a little more about that. james. tell me the, tell us about the scale of this operation. one of the centers intended to do this safe spaces. so the style is meant to match the need. now the moment that's very difficult because we have the fastest growing human sharing crisis in terms of refugee numbers that we've seen since world war 2 for these safe spaces. their places where the families get a moment of respond, they get some water, they get some sanitation is increasingly they'll be cash assistance. there's 1st day, there's ideas with families who are separated from their children. so their breathing space, they're a safe space. they'll be here in ukraine already there in romania, poland, hungary, their essential places for kids and families on this treacherous journey. you mentioned there is one of the fastest growing crises that facing to give it, give us an idea of the numbers here of children and the potential for how this is going to develop in mind boggling numbers on sometimes lows to use them because i don't think people can always, you know, intellectual eyes,
6:10 pm
them. at the moment we are seeing a ukrainian child become a refugee almost every 2nd. every 2nd since this war started almost a month ago, a ukrainian charles become a refugee $55.00 a minute. now that we have not seen that since world war 2, and you will have seen what that looks like, that's another child separated from his dad. it's another family split apart. it's probably a child who's in a bunker for a few days. it's a child who was going to school a month ago and has now had their life turned upside down. we have just come out of an air raid alert. that's why you managed to make it here. now we have them constantly during the day. you've just come from a bunker here and live even. tell us about that. yeah, it's a maternity hospital here. it's an enormous hospital. again, one of these ones run by incredible doctors, pediatricians obstetricians the era. sorry, goes often. everyone does dance his including scores of very pregnant women. so i'm talking about, you know, anna, who is 36 weeks pregnant with twins who, 5 times 6 times a day, 3 or 4 times the night is going to
6:11 pm
a bunker in fantasy. it's a basement right. it's a dusty floor and they're ready to give birth down there. it's that moment where a family should be excited for this life changing moment with family and friends. no, they've lost their grandparents. they're in bankers in yes, they've separated from their husbands. they're under troll. not most of them are going into labor early because of the extreme amount of stress. and they're sitting in a dusty bunker waiting for this life changing moment, bringing the children into a country at war. we are seeing, you know, dealing with the children who make it this far and make it into neighboring countries in your oh, what about the parts of the ukraine the there are in concert. my, are you paul, lag? i can't keep these places where it's difficult to reach, but there is certainly a need. how is eunice? have other will aid organizations getting to help to those people? it's a great question. i mean, our 1st priority still has to be keeping kids alive because wait, while we continue to see this little. busy of indiscriminate attacks, as you say on hospitals, on health facilities on schools,
6:12 pm
on places where kids play. we gotta keep seeing children die. now right now as we speak in the next 12 hours, we have water supplies. finally getting into mary mary paul, we have a truck, a train, i beg your pardon with containers getting into the hospital here in hockey iv it's still not enough because we know that every time humanitarian cordell's get opened, they get disrespected and there's more tax that's very difficult for agencies like unicef, but it's very difficult for those families to get out. so we are getting no supplies in hospitals across the country or now thank goodness wat up, but it's not enough. and those families, as you and i speak, you continually being bombarded yet again, as i have a night off to night. are you getting the cooperation to cross frontiers across at these that these fronts in these different lines of conflict? i think the last 3 days have been better, but prior to that you have seen that we are told that there's a humanitarian corridor and in civilians, a short leaving it all. we are informed that actually is heavily mind,
6:13 pm
so it's improved, but it's not safe. a final thought, the units have grew out of the emergency at the end of world war 21946 when you had millions of children across europe displaced. and so what are your thoughts more than 75 years on your once more facing this kind of a crisis facing children? it's gutter and she isn't at your the train station here and it looks like we'll go to. it's all trains frosted up with father standing outside and children with a hand there you know, waiting, waiting to say well, if it was black and white, it's world which i don't think any one can believe we're going through this again and again, it's just tortures to see, hundreds of thousands of families having a lot turned upside down where a month ago, you know this was home. james l it. thank you very much. indeed. the humanitarian effort here continues a pace, along with diplomatic effort, said that apparently from both sides to try to get some breakthrough. but sadly, we're also seeing conflict continuing on so many fronts across ukraine. rom, thank you for that. rob mcbride life or i say in live is, as rob says, the conflicts continuing on many front. let's take
6:14 pm
a look at the situation on the ground right now. areas in dread are held by russian forces and they're separatists highlight, ukrainian forces in besieged. maya paul is still holding out. there have been a further civilian evacuations from the city and ukraine says had successfully pushed back, rushing advances with counter offences near keith. nicole live and concave and fighting has intensified north. we northwest of keys with ukrainian forces saying every take in the suburb of mockery of the capital is self is relatively quiet, though. it's under a curfew until wednesday. that's after russia destroyed shopping center on monday, killing 8 people. iran con reports on the situation in cave. we heard very loud explosion near where we are. that was a cruise missile that was shot down by ukrainian air defense systems over the north of the city. and this seems to be a tactic that the russians are employing more and more. oh,
6:15 pm
the advance into kia has actually stalled a anecdotally, i can tell you that that's what ukrainians are telling us. but it's been backed up by the international community, particularly british defense, who are talking about the fact that the russian army haven't managed to take it. take any major areas in the last a few weeks. now we are going to see more of these are strokes, rogan see more of these artillery and showing come into the city or a whilst their soldiers are still stalled on the outskirts, but the ukrainians are now mounting a counter offensive. or these a suburb of keep its suburbs, a bit misleading, as a term is actually and keep all bloss just outside of the city. it was narrow that we had been taken by the russians were give, but ah, the ukrainians have managed to force them out. russian forces in a sea of care. so i have once again fire tear gas and protesters,
6:16 pm
people have been demonstrating against the russian occupation of their city since it was taken 3 weeks ago. and he's one person was injured on monday with ukraine accusing russia of using live rounds and stand grenades to disperse crowds and ukraine. southern city of mich alive has enjoyed 2 weeks of heavy shelling from russian forces, including attacks from hypersonic rockets, a mare, la fi, is there with more. no, la di, sure, a kilometer, limon with unit mach life. would that be done? we are exactly 10 kilometers away from nikolai, and we are now at the main road leading to the cities eastern countryside. this is one of the very few petrol stations that are still operational since the beginning of the war. most of the other stations have been shut down. according to the staff here, 3 to 4. missiles have hit the air. with 3 persons been killed, including one of the staff working in the special station along with 2 passing customer. the spot was among what was targeted last night with me claims book. there is no place to hide them every day. we go to work as if it was our last day of our lives. could have been me instead of my colleague,
6:17 pm
he lost his life here. i don't know what divine miracle we had was when the station did not load entire size of the disaster would have been much greater than how may i be. i love you since the beginning of the war, gas is no longer so simply because the gas storage tanks are as you see above the ground and they are prone to expulsion. recently gas is permitted in some stations including this one. you may see the shrapnel marks on the outside of this gas tank . luckily it did not explode. how did the damage would have been catastrophic obama? over the past week we spoke about the declining pace of attacks and the sense of apprehension prevailing in and around the city. last night, 4 areas, my colleagues were targeted by the russian force is also the 1st time since the beginning of the war to see the city center target. among the areas targeted where a desert, the hotel and a mental health hospital or head of the world food program is warning of the diet consequences. the war will have full countries already facing famine and conflict.
6:18 pm
speaking to our diplomatic editor, james space in brussels bay, the beesley says, russia's invasion has already had a major impact on global food and energy prices. this is a nation. it produces enough food for 400000000 people around the world. if we don't in this war and get their economy going again, so they're planting and harvesting. we're going to have a global supply problem later this year. this will be catastrophe on top of catastrophe if we don't act now. strategically and quickly. it could be hell on earth. so not just the people who we're seeing right now die in ukraine. do you believe the consequences of this in terms of food insecurity? potential famine could kill many more. i don't have enough money now before ukraine . i was already because of supply any supply chain issues like fuel costs, shipping cost,
6:19 pm
and food costs before ukraine. i was already cutting 8000000 people to 50 percent rashes in yemen. 50 percent rashes in these year 50 percent rashes and chad and i can keep going around the world. now. we'll have a supply chain issue because ukraine produces between them and russia. 20 to 30 percent of all the grain in the world for corn, major, we, etc, etc. and so if you neglect the racial world just for ukraine, you, you've got to deal with ukraine, helped the people that need help there. but you can't neglect what's happening, middle east, or northern africa. otherwise you go have millions upon millions migrating here, europe it, this is no free lunch here. you go pay for one way. the other, the best thing to do is get ahead of it and stop the storm from getting worse. last spring in christine's new me at the united nations in your chris, in the un warning of devastating consequences, not just for ukraine, but for the rest of the world. that's right, and the secretary general, antonio gutierrez,
6:20 pm
stopped and made remarks on the situation and ukraine signaling how serious the situation is getting there. he described it as morally unacceptable, politically indefensible, and militarily nonsensical. he, i gave these off the cuff remarks, britain, remarks, i should say they were formal remarks to the press, clearly wanting to make a statement on the situation on the ground. and putting the war in the context of the international law. he called out russia very directly saying that they were violating not only ukrainian sovereignty, but the un charter with their quote, a massive invasion of ukraine. and he described the suffering on the ground there as hell on earth, particularly in the city of mario poor, which is under siege at the moment. have a listen to what he said then 1000000 ukrainians have been forced from their homes
6:21 pm
and that on the move. but the war is going nowhere, fuss for more than 2 weeks. mario ball has been encircled by the russian army and relentlessly bumped shelves and the thick for walked. even if michael falls, ukraine can not be conquered. city by city, streets, by streets, halls by halls. the only outcome to all these is more suffering, more destruction and more oral, as far as the i can see, you could it in people are including a living hell. and the reverberations i being felt worldwide is skyrocketing, fools, energy and fertilizer prices said happening to speedo into a global hunger crisis. and the secretary general went on to say that even as mario both falls after 2 weeks to what, and he said that some point the parties are going to have to come to the table and negotiate
6:22 pm
a settlement. he predicted that russia could not capture all of ukraine street by street, and he called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, strong language coming from the secretary general, who also as we just heard, put the context in a, put the conflict in a global context and talking about the implications it was having on the rest of the world as well, in terms of food. i insecurity rising prices and so on this among growing concerned among member states here at the united nations and no less than 3 potential humanitarian resolutions that are now being debated behind the scenes here with a potential votes coming later this week on that front. again, signaling a international concern about the spillover effect of this conflict. thank you for that, kristen. to know me, live for us at un headquarters in new york. now the u. s. president is wanting a russia could resort to using chemical weapons in ukraine job and did not provide any evidence,
6:23 pm
but said vladimir putin could escalate the violin since he sail faces. resistance from ukrainian forces he is back is against the war and he's now he's talking about new false lives. you said, you know, including you service and asserting that we'd, america, biological, as well as chemical weapons. you're simply not true. i guarantee you are also suggesting that ukraine has biological and chemical weapons in ukraine. that's a clear sign he's considering using both of those is already used chemical weapons in the past. and we should be careful about to was about to come. he knows will be severe consequences because of the united nato front, but the point is it's real. so what is a chemical weapon while is defined as any toxic material that can cause therefore harm to humans or animals that includes its components end or the weapons that release them. therefore kinds of chemical agents and they're absorbed through the
6:24 pm
skin and lungs. they can suffocate people in animals and attack parts of the body, including the skin, eyes, blood, and nervous system. russia has always denied having chemical weapons which have been banned under international law for nearly a century. but it's long been suspected of using them against critics rushes ally, syria used them against its own people in its civil war. earlier we spoke to families party who's a former director of policy planning at nato. he says, the use of chemical weapons as weapons in this conflict would be a gross miscalculation by vladimir putin. the fact that a couple of days ago, allegedly they will have use a kind of hypersonic weapon is another sign that they are using the kind of weapons or threatening to use a kind of weapon that has 1st no place in this conflict. stroke on does not really have an operational purpose. so if you could put in trying to prove that he's not running out of options twice. in fact, if you look at the, the attrition rate,
6:25 pm
the russian hazard t's, he is indeed running quickly out of options. but we should not always thought the estimate how hard it is for the ukrainians to resist. now you is on the verge of falling. this would be huge, symbolic, a kind of a negative sign for, for the ukranian bases. don't. so, and both sides, either way, fight against the claw. but the problem is put in, is doing it in a much more aggressive way. it would bring your conflict to a level that a has no interest in bringing, which will be essentially the west, especially the united states, would be urge to intervene because i think this will be clearly crossing a line that's been, it's been actually mentioned by the police prisoner, but also recently by president by done that weapons of mass destruction, you don't have any place in these conflicts wrapping. he has to,
6:26 pm
this is signaling. obviously he's trying to scare us from intervening, and he's obviously trying to terrorize the ukrainian population. ah, let's take a look at some of the days i've been used now in a court in russia has sentence jailed kremlin credit collection of only to 9 years in prison. he was found guilty of fraud and contempt of court. the opposition figure says the charges are politically motivated. yvonne is already serving a 2 and a half years sentence. spanish smith is in moscow. he says, the verdict won't come as a surprise to many of been following the case. not only is an alexi, nevada only sentenced to 9 years in prison on top of the 2 and a half years. he was already sentenced to last year. he will serve a sentence, this new sentence in a maximum security prison. the prosecutors had asked him to be moved from the
6:27 pm
relatively less severe penal colony he's in now to a maximum security prison. it's silence is effectively the last known, open political opponent 2 vladimir putin in russia. he had also earned the valley, managed during his time in prison, to get messages through his lawyers, and posted those on. instagram is instagram is now been banned in russia blocked in russia. so even if he wanted to, you can't read anything about in a valley. there either what's happened in the valley is unlikely to get any coverage at all on russian state controlled television. he's, he's not really known or heard or known about by people here as since he returned from germany almost a year ago now he'd been poisoned with a nerve agents on a flight from siberia. he was taken to rush up to germany for medical treatment and recovered and flew back in january last year,
6:28 pm
arrested as soon as he landed. and since then has been in jail as not been outside of jail. and now really, it's unlikely you're gonna hear anything at all from lex in the valley for the 9 years. he's in prison. ross, miss nelson is lecturer at d, u. c. l scholar 70 kent, east european studies. he says, this is another way for russia to silence all forms of criticism in the country. i think the implications are also me. the intense behind this are to food on the one hand in russian state one is to signs of andy and make sure that he stays out of the political process. m, also stage unable to promote ensured of any part of his cause, promot, send out any messages or one more broadly. of course, this is another step in the russian regimes attempt to silence all criticism within the country and basically to attack what polluted effectively has called a 5th columnists as in traitors inside russia. my thing protest will continue to
6:29 pm
some extent, not necessarily because he called for it, but because there is a genuine m, quite significant group of people in russia were protesting against the wall and against what the regime student right now inside russia, i fear, however, that repression from the regime will only increase and we'll have more of the days having news coming up on the news. our demands for justice after uganda security forces are accused of getting away with detentions torture and rape samaya faces. it's worse drought in decades. hundreds and thousands of children are going hungry as a result. and use ellen take a step closer to the well kept by reaching the last or in that qualifying competition. details is force with peter.
6:30 pm

6:31 pm

6:32 pm
the human suffering that we report time, we brave bullets and bombs and some of the world's most troubled regions. the army fled in the face of ice, was advanced. it is one of the most serious about the violence in recent years. in some instances, we are the targets because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law, and we always include the views from all sites. oh, a. you're watching the news on al jazeera with me fully back people. a reminder about top stories. concave is coming under heavy russian bombardment. that's ukraine.
