a perimeter in the center. but new drone footage shows the scale of the devastation while it's still difficult for people to get out and for humanitarian aid to get in . both sides continue to operate 9 humanitarian corridors. in other parts of the country, meanwhile, ukrainian president flood him as a lensky has continued his global charm offensive this time addressing members of japan's parliament by a video link. as with other direct appeals to the international community, he deftly tailored his message following the offensive on the support easier nuclear plant. earlier in the conflict, he touched upon japan's own experience of nuclear attacks to muster support for his country's course. and as his english 3 d j adam, yes, there are full operating nuclear power plants on our land. there are 15 nuclear

that would have been the front lines or for a couple of weeks now. or then around about 2 o 1, 32 o'clock. or there was a shell that fell on to a car, killing at least one part while killing one person. there we have her 2 very loud explosions. take place likely again in the north of ki, of and that's really are the frontline when it comes to these artillery showings and air strikes that we've seen in the, in the capital so far. now let me bring you up to date. there has been some movement in the towns outside of the mockery of and at a pin or 2 very crucial towns. there's been intense fighting there. ah, d, craning say they've taken both of those hounds, butcher and hoster. well, again, very closely linked to those places. any bouts, or 15 kilometers away from where i'm standing at the moment,

at the ukrainian say they've actually encircled russian forces there, and they're going to try and drive them out of those places. all of those towns are incredibly crucial because of the russians could have linked them up than that would have been a staging post by any attack into the capital itself. khaki the crane, 2nd largest city, has come under intense rush and bombardment. hospitals. they're struggling to cope with the number of wounded civilians and soldiers. and a warning that i sent bags report from a car keith hospital does contain distressing images. ah, a desperate attempt to save lives. overstretched and overworked, medical staff at hockey, regional, clinical hospital or under unprecedented pressure. the intensive care unit is filled with victims of this war. yes and then pam. oh, just your go anyway. i haven't treated civilians with combat injuries before. i'm overwhelmed with the amount of cases,

sometimes we receive 10 people from one location, but we've learned to do it quickly. provide aid. it's our experience, the counts of, of the family, the work under constant threat to their own lives. i mean, we are standing here and listening to the sound of shelling. i don't know where it will hit the hospital's impeller clear and solo chip or destroyed in loss over the fish. hospitals don't work anymore. we don't know what will be to day if the bomb lands the hospital will no longer exist, the children's hospital is destroyed. the center for blood donation operates from the basement. many of these people were in their homes when they were hit by shrapnel. oh, the shilling was intense, then it stopped then it started again. 3 people were killed immediately. i'm the only one that survived, but have all these injuries with what are the kind of injuries that you're seeing downstairs there are more patience. one of the more such as leg has been amputated,

you know, actually there was a lot of patients with the serious injures right here. but the, this boy is the most strong well from all of them because most of them are crying, asking for saving their legs and arms. but he was the only one who said, just do what you think you need to do. so this is a real warrior, still heart and he has one message for the world, goes this guy, a motor green. these words are filled with casualties from this war. here most of patients are, after all, tillery it's not because most of patients was wounded by or tillery is just because most of patients after aircraft are dead. so this is the most heart patient of in another ward. we find you a guinea telescope. he threw his body over his 8 year old son when he heard explosions from his son was unharmed,

travelling above his chest and then go out. here. he was struck by shrapnel. the piece of shuttle that we see here were shown pieces of shrapnel by the stuff. this tiny piece killed a woman to move me to move by staying here. we are defending our families. i'm working for victory. we have together. we are in a common cause. this is my bed one for the staff here. this is their life. they sleep in the corridors to stay close to their patients and hope the walls were protect them. if the hospital is hit for and you flip your card. yep. patients like sasha, a medical staff her have all asked for the same thing. oblivious of the politics around it. they want the air space over ukraine and this city closed because if the damage turned from the bomb dropped from planes, the causing the most casualties. i said, bake algebra, her fif the ukrainian president rod him, is a landscape called for global protests on thursday to mark

extraordinary times. the reality is, i don't think you're going to see a lot. that's new and concrete. coming out to the summit, they will be ratifying, some of the things that have already been decided for new battle groups for nato in eastern europe. and they're also going to be talking about weapons of mass destruction with russia, saying that it has the possibility that it might use nuclear weapons if it faces an existential threat. and the possibility that nato feels as a threat that russia could use chemical or biological weapons to morrow. i expect allies will agree to promote additional support including cybersecurity assistance, as well as equipment to help ukraine protect against chemical biological ah, radiological, and nuclear threats. while i press the 2nd general in that news conference,

what does yet she mean by that? what sort of equipment going to be supplied? and he said that would be dangerous to give the details to let the russians know the details of exactly what they're going to do it with regard to that. but it's certainly quite high on the agenda for the nato allies when they meet here. i don't think they're going to come up though with the key things that president lancey has asked for and will be asking. i'm sure, again, for here, he would like to see a no fly zone. that is something no way any of the nato allies will support at this time. he'd also like to see much tougher sanctions, particularly on the energy sector. and that's where nato, and particularly the you have a split with some countries in europe. notably, germany, very, very concerned about that. in fact, the german chancellor earlier on said that, yes, you could do that one day, but you can't do it in one day because otherwise,

germany and other countries in europe would face a recession. and you can't have a sanction that harms you, nations more than it does the leadership of russia or a rushing resolution, calling for aid access and civilian protection, ukraine. but not mentioning moscow's role in the crisis as failed at un security council rush, as you and envoy is accused the u. s. and the u. k. of blocking humanitarian efforts. though, the sure, let me you said you were in russia. if you were horton at the initiative of a mexican and french colleagues and submitting an early march, a draft resolution on the humanitarian situation in ukraine. locker, however, this hope was immediately dashed by l. u. s. and british colleagues who asserted that this draft is not necessary, xavier from other members of the western camp were forced to follow suit. ultimately, instead of addressing humanitarian issues, we began to deal with a policy of mutual recrimination and accusations repugnant and instead of a discussion and trusting a text for western countries without substance asserted that those security council

cannot adopt a draft humanitarian resolution on ukraine. robert slat for you on the program. we look at the people who are leaving everything behind ukrainians of escape their homes, speak of scenes of horror and devastation. and in other news today, madeline albright wants the highest ranking women in history and the u. s. government has died at the age of 84. ah hi there, there's a lot of heat but also a lot of wet weather to be found in australia at the moment. hi, pressure in charge across those central and southern areas, keeping things largely fine and dry, but thunderstorms will continue to roll across the top end and it is going to get wetter for that se corner once again. and that's not welcome. given that we've just
