international sanctions that have been applied in russia and represented the government handed over to us today that griffith assume that on the ground ukraine says it's making advances. capturing the ton of our pain. russia says around 600 foreign mercenaries have been killed in the past 2 weeks. in the east, the mayor of merrier poll says 5000 civilians have been killed there since the war began and a 160000 people had trapped. however, some may get out on tuesday with ukraine opening 3 quarters in the dounia screeching. the united nations is calling for safe by faith for aid workers and convoys. and a russian strike has hit the regional government building in mich alive. the southern port city has been under heavy assault for weeks. now we have 3 correspondence on this story. this, our in a moment will get more on the talks with res. so saddam, who's in a stumble, turkey a rom, khan, has the latest from outside ukraine's capital key. if stephanie deka is in mich,
1:03 pm
alive, and that's where we begin this news. our stephanie, what more can you tell us about the strike on the regional building in mich alive, water officials, they're saying, ah, well, the city remains very tense. we cannot get any access to the building as this one street across from us. but you can see a lot of the windows here of the apartments and the surrounding area have been blown data blown out. we arrived here about an hour after that strike. there was another air siren buried. sorry, that was going on. people panicking. you still rescue workers running away from the site. we all went into shelter. there were rumors of another plane in the sky. it gives you just the real sense of tension and panic in the city we spoke to one lady was in the shelter with us. i just a car parker, leah, she broke it burst into tears saying, i cannot deal with this any more. it's constant. this building, you're just saying we had a statement from the regional governor vitale. kim, which he posted on his social media. he's down playing the number of casualties,
1:04 pm
but certainly from what we understand there seemed to be casualties in this strike . i mean, you'd probably see those pictures mass damage to what is the regional government building. the office of vitale came is in that building. and so we don't know exactly the numbers, but to confirm dead at the moment that number is expected to rise. and michel, i have just briefly folly. this is a key city. it's the last front to really until you get to odessa, which is the largest port city in ukraine. it is believed of course, to be the final. i'm sort of mission if you will, of the russian troops mc alive has held off a ground offensive for weeks. but of course, russia controls disguise when it comes to having that superiority. so this is how you see, you know, what if it's shelling from the sea from the ground air strikes. so certainly that does put ground troops added to disadvantage air defenses are in place, but you will see, you know, the last couple of days we were told things are relatively so to speak,
1:05 pm
relatively calmer, and then an attack like this. and it's put every one, again very much on edge 70. thank you for that. stephanie deca live for his day in mich alive. let's not cross to al jazeera is emron can, who's in keep yes. outside the ukrainian capital. keith. so tell us about what's been happening there. ukrainian force is claiming another success outside keith that's us. that's absolutely right. but let before i told you about that, let me just tell you, show you the other side of her, the fighting is going on. this is a very ordinary neighbourhood. this attack actually took place overnight last night and the flames is still burning. you can see where the shell landed. the roof is completely caved in the house at the back of this building is also completely destroyed as well. like i say this is just a very ordinary suburb on the outskirts of keep the russian front lines are about 20, about 15, sorry to 10 kilometer away from here. this wasn't
1:06 pm
a deliberate strike. this was a result of just simply chaotic shelling that the russians are taking place, like i say, were about 10 to 15 kilometers away from the nearest front line without a shell would have come from in this attack. it wasn't just this building that was destroyed by another building, just down the street. there we hearing at least 2 people have died. now also on the outskirts of a key, we have a pin which has been taken up by the cranium forces, what the ukrainians now doing is they're going in searching for potential russian saboteurs. anybody that may bill be able to amount surprise attacks on ukrainian forces, but they're very confident now that they've got a pin. if they've got that, that means they can go to the villages on the outskirts. once again, we're in that mode of offensive by the russians counter offensive by the ukrainians and vice versa. and things keep changing, but for right now, particularly on the outskirts of keep it does seem to me that the ukrainian forces do have the upper hand. i thank you for have updates ah, emron can in
1:07 pm
a cave. now let's go to a bernard smith who was in a don't. yes. and i know and, and here you've been interviewing a dentist for shelly. been at the head of don. yes. people's republic. what did he have to say? fully very interesting interview with dentist per shilling. of course the narrative here and this separatist controlled part of ukraine is that this is a fight against ukrainian nationalists. they call them hair. neo nazis is what they described the miles and that battling mary awful is described as a battle to get rid of neo nazis, a nationalist. now dennis shalean is saying that in morale all the reason it's essentially been destroyed by city center is because people are fighting street to street house to house. he says in the last 8 years, and the groups call the as all brigade he calls and i sort of national group that
1:08 pm
he's very influential mario. he says they spent the last 8 years fortifying the city. he accuses them of using human shields, human shields, to prevent the city being taken by don't, that course is backed by the russians. he also says that in response to the russian defense ministry saying that it is now going to concentrate its efforts on what they call liberating, don't buy this eastern part of ukraine. now the rush is going to concentrate on that. moving away from the greater part of your grade and he says that's going to make an enormous difference a particularly in terms of russian fire power. and he means this in terms of russian power. you have aside from murray awful about 50 percent of the area of don't ask still under control of the ukrainians, but this air is mainly role. it's villages and small towns and the forces here
1:09 pm
believe that with russian help, they can quickly take that back up the ukrainians. we have these conflict a for about 8 years and the last month for so you russian forces and the next forces have been advancing on you can controlling control tell atrium territory and on buses. they believe they can go much further more quickly. now the have more concentrated russian assistance vantage. thank you for that venice smith live for i say in don't yeske. now, as we mentioned, talks between russia and ukraine are being held in a sample. turkeys president is optimistic about the outcome or the goodish roller. then we believe that it's a period with concrete results must be achieved in these negotiations. at the stage, you, as the members of the delegations have assumed a historic responsibility. the entire world is looking forward for a positive outcome. from these talks. you are the ones laying the foundation of
1:10 pm
peace under the guidance of your leaders, and we are ready to make in contribution, which will ease this process. where so said are, is any sample joint is now live on the news hour. the latest on the talks, any sample waste or how much hope is there, this round will yield something positive while it quite depends on there, negotiate in parties flexibility. here. the officials, church officials, that they are told to the said that russia has some tough conditions, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu? paved the way for a piece or for a ceasefire. russia is asking ukraine to declare officially to declare neutrality, which means not to pursue the goal of being a natal member, but who plane in return is asking for security guarantees from major nato countries such as turkey and france. and also russia is asking for the militarization of ukraine. so to turkish officials says on these 2 items. the neutrality and
1:11 pm
democratization ukrainian side is showing the beginning this to make some compromises. however, there are 2 other items that are very much that it could. one of them is the, the notification issue, rush is asking for that. and the officials, he says it is very much an ambiguous uncertain terms where did that to under. so what russian means by that, that must delicate item, however, is the territorial integrity or ukraine, because russia is asking ukraine to accept crimea officially, or part of the russia, and also to recognise the eastern euclidean separate this republic. done yes, and la hans can't take it off. just say that for far the ukrainian side has not shown any a concrete, a willingness to accept this because it's directly related to the company's territorial integrity. so the tools now are on the way between the a, russian and ukranian delegation here in a stumbling bill. nobody palace enter gas, been a favorable company for the grammatical force bought by moscow and kia,
1:12 pm
because it has been able to keep good relations work with moscow. and kia it is still selling the that, that the drones to ukraine and they have been approved to be very much affected. i guess, of russian on forces in ukraine. on the other hand, took shakespeare's to steal open to the russian a plays tricky. and the 2 member did not join the sanctions against russia. let's say this, the of their, the russian, all the guards are still welcomed in this country. and by the way, the russian already got the roman ramon, which isn't a stumble. okay. and just before the 2 started, early in the morning, he met president ad one as well. so the officials, he says that the sucks us off the port mostly depends on how much russia is going to reduce from it's back to matters demand and how much you can decide is going to show a flexibility race. so thank you very much for that. and of course, we'll be coming to throughout the day for the latest on those talks. well, it's now speak to alexander road yan ski. he's an advisor,
1:13 pm
ukraine president for me as a landscape. he's joining us from berlin. thank you so much for being with us on our 0. we've been here before in turkey in antalya 2 weeks ago, and there was no outcome at all when the 2 warring sides met. what hopes do you have that this stage is strong? any stumble could be successful. well look, we're still pessimistic. may be slightly less pessimistic them before. but in general, like your correspondence said, i mean there are certain issues which are relatively easy to reach a compromise on when it comes to, let's say the russian language there was number never a contentious issue when it comes to the neutrality status. we're willing to consider compromise, but when it comes to our territorial integrity, it cannot be any compromise as the people who are living in these occupied areas. they don't want to be part of russia. so how can we leave them? how can we let alone the whole idea of cutting up our country? that's unacceptable. so we'll see what happens when we have to give pieces try. but there is a risk that russia is just using this as
1:14 pm
a trick to deceive the west to think that further actions are necessary because piece of around the corner, i would ask you about some of the specific demands the russians are making. but 1st, what is the hope initially from the ukranian side? i mean that there's an initial c 5 before the talks between the 2 sides. move forward. what is initially the request from the ukranian? well, of course, the sci fi is always the 1st step. we want to stop the killing of the stop, the bottom of our cities, of our civilians. that is always the 1st. eventually we'd like the russian troops to pull back of course to move away from our territories. so this is happening over time, of course, step by step. and again, there are certain compromises where we're willing to negotiate. but we can step at the time because there is, if you missed several again, ski that president put in isn't ready for a peace deal because he hasn't gained as much territory as he would want. and the fairies, and you mentioned this in your 1st response,
1:15 pm
is that ultimately ukraine will be divided, will be partitioned of russian east and the rest controlled by ukraine. and even some ukrainian defense officials are talking about a north korea. south korea found divided a solution to end this conflict. what is your answer to that? i mean, would ukraine be willing to give up some of its territory? no, as i said before, of course, no, that's completely off the table. we cannot leave our people behind. they don't want to be part of russia, so this is just completely unacceptable to anybody. now, whatever russia has in mind, it's hard to say, but they have been adapting their strategy in light of their miserable failure on the battleground. we've been pushing them background with pushing them background harder. now they're focusing on the don't bust area because they've already recognized the done buses independent. so perhaps they're trying to strengthen their bargaining position there. but we cannot, and we will not accept a separation of the territory. right. what about the criminal and demand that premier be recognized as russian again,
1:16 pm
that's part of ukraine always has been internationally recognized as part of the brain overwhelmingly. and so how can we, how can we deal with that? and if you ask the people and crimea, it's hard to say over the last 8 years, but we know for certain that they haven't been happy either with that. or you can make outcomes what the life that they've been leading on the russia. there's a lot of regret with what happens. now on the idea of neutrality, you said that ukraine would be willing to compromise on that. and one of russia's demands is that ukraine doesn't join nato, of course. so you are prepared to make confessions on trying to, but what else would you be prepared to make confessions on while neutrality is they'll be one of these beneath us that no to us. we've heard this response, so we accept that for now. russia is obviously waging a war against us. we're willing to consider a compromise, as long as we're neutral and we're getting security guarantees, unlike the budapest on them. so real tangible security guarantee. the other issues are actually more important for russia than anything else or more concerning. for
1:17 pm
russia, things like the russian language, there was never any discrimination of the russian language. i speak russian everywhere. i go when you agree, there's never any issue with that. like many of my friends and family and whoever, there is other issues that you mentioned also with regard to demilitarization, whatever that means, and denot cation, whatever that means. so i guess this is important for the russians, but to portray a victory at home locally in russia, it hasn't, hasn't got much you with the reality on the ground, but we're willing to give them something such that they can tell it to the local populace. that's fine. let's talk about what's been happening on the ground. we've heard about ukrainian successes in pain just outside of keith, but we've also heard reports that russian forces. i'm now trying to in circle ukrainian forces in the east. what is your assessment about? things are going on the battlefield and how much longer can ukrainian forces hold out? yes, so we've been monitoring the situation carefully. of course, we know what's happening. the russian troops, the numerous russian troops,
1:18 pm
there are numbering on troops quite a large amount now. but they're also counting heavy, heavy losses. the report that we are getting our her and the russians are losing hundreds of troops day by day. i mean, the whole fields are actually filled them with russian corpses. so nobody is picking them up as many other areas before. so it's a humanitarian. it's nicole logical catastrophe. that's unfolding. we're monitoring the situation. our troops are doing well. they're holding up this areas well protected because over the years we had expected an offensive move by the russians there. so we'll see what happens. but of course we're holding our ground. we're standing graham. thank you so much for talking to us. alexander again, ski advised that ukraine's president voted me as lensky joining us there from 1000000000. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. now is that correspondence crystal saddam mentioned earlier, sanction, rush and 1000000000. eval mine. abramoff h is attending the talk. see nice stumble on monday. it was reported that he and 2 ukrainians were poison that talks in keith. earlier this month,
1:19 pm
the chelsea football club owner reportedly suffered for eyes and peeling skin, but has now recovered. the wall street journal reported ukrainian negotiate is also suffer symptoms consistent with chemical agents. and the investigative website, belen cat has confirmed the 3 delegates fell sick and the criminal has just said that $34.00 so roman abramoff. h poisoning are untrue. join a whole is in london following the developments. belling cat has developed a pretty sturdy reputation for it's open source forensic investigations and reporting online the organization. as you said, they're reporting alongside the wall street journal on this saying that it had been in touch with potentially even commissioning it that's implied, but not entirely clear from what they wrote, commissioning chemical weapons experts to conduct both remote and on site investigations at presumably at the location where these meetings might have taken
1:20 pm
place, and that these experts have led belin carrier to be able to confirm that on the night of the 3rd of march 3, individuals, 2 of them senior ukrainian negotiators, one of them, roman abramoff, which experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons, mr. brockovich is described by bell and cat as an entrepreneur. of course, we know him better as the owner of chelsea football club, the russian billionaire, all the galks ought to have contacts on some level at least with the mere putin in the criminal symptoms. reportedly, according to belin, bending kat included piercing pain in the eyes. one suggestion was that mr. brockovich may have lost his sight for a period of time that's confirmed, but also peeling skin on the faces and the hands for the wall street journal. adding that the health condition of all 3 has since improved and that their lives were not in danger, are not in danger. and these chemical weapons experts going further saying the
1:21 pm
dosage and type of substance likely was insufficient to cause life threatening damage and was most likely intended to scare the victims with the wall street journal. adding that it believes the suspected attack was orchestrated by hardliners in russia who wanted to sabotage the talks. ah, let's take a look at some of the news now and gun men have attacked a passenger train in northwest nigeria around a 1000 people traveling from the capital of buddha. took a do now where reportedly on board injured were taken to hospital witnesses. the others were killed or kidnapped for security services. haven't confirmed how many the train a time follows, and i sold on kaduna airport just a few days ago as ringing on monday, teresa correspondent, in a butcher, i'm a, this is a 2nd train attack in the last 6 months. what more you hearing about the circumstances
1:22 pm
of this one and who's behind it when basically it's known that bandits operate along the route, they have a different tact. like you said, they protect these ratings before, although it was not as devastating as best they pleased, unexposed advice on the truck. and this time around they do read a big truck, killing many people according to witness account. and from all indications, a lot of people must have been injured because we're talking not about one or 2 hospitals. many hospitals are receiving victims. this was confirmed by the community state government, but it did not say how many people were injured. like i said, 970 people wanted that train to kaduna and it didn't say exactly how many people were injured or how many people died. but it's clear that as time goes by, we seeing the number of people being injured or what been injured in that incident
1:23 pm
and rising to a very worry number. they also not talking about how many people have been abducted since yesterday. we kept here. we kept hearing about the government and officials trying to look at the manifesto and to determine how many people, what taken what we know since yesterday. so the number of people on that, on the train was 970 and it's many and generous. i wonder why is it taking the government more than 13 hours to come up with an idea or an exam, an estimated number of people who have been taken by these bandits. right. and attacks carried out by the so called bandits are happening more and more often. and nigeria, what is the government doing about the problem? well, it looks like the government is struggling to contain the situation fully. this. this, this problem started more than a decade ago. it started as a conflict between commerce and capital hood is in the north of the countries, particularly in some for a state. but although the problem has been that conflict because promised and
1:24 pm
capital that is of a result of land and water has been there for generations. but this problem started is collecting about 10 years ago in some for a stage. no thought is what interested then in tackling this problem, you make them a forced into action and count directions between palmers and capital. heard is and then we saw this, setting up a vigilant is a militia to protect communities and we've been long term became. busy low onto themselves, talking community, stealing, capital, stealing from produce at packing communities, and the fortress did not intervene until when this problem started getting out of hand. now the military has been drafted to deal with a problem that the police was supposed to be dealing with in the 1st place for a very long time. the military is of a strict us, we know they have, they are involved in almost all parts of in fact, the chief defense off announced last month that the military is involved in dealing with conflict and problems in 36 of night. jo toxic states in including of course,
1:25 pm
the federal capital which, where the train originated. so the problem is that the military has opted on debt talking, the bandits location, but the problem is they attack one location and then these bandits move to another location because you've got the problem. so the problem of kidnapping for rent some in nigeria has spread not only from them from northwest of nigeria. it's a major problem of course nigeria, and of course is one of the most lucrative criminal enterprises in the country for the thank you. thank you very much. for that, i'm at the time for there in abilene, jo, border officials in uganda say thousands of refugees have crossed into the country from northeast and democratic republic of congo. it follows an attack there by the m. $23.00 rebels with captured areas close to the border, raising fears of further escalation. the abandoned army says there'll be no restrictions for people fleeing the violence. man, mars military leader has ordered the creation of public security teams in towns and
1:26 pm
villages across the country. they'll be given weapons, were scythes the army in fighting rebel groups. florence re, has more the use of paramilitary forces in myanmar is not new. the myanmar military had in the past provided weapons to civilians in ethnic controlled areas to help it fight civil wars. and 5 years ago it gave weapons to non ringo villages. in northern, reclined state after it launched a brutal crime down against they, mainly muslim running a minority there. now this time, the creation of power, military forces, indiana, is thought to be to help the jupiter cracked down against the resistance movement, especially in central myanmar where security forces have been engaged in fears, battles with resistance fighters, known as the people's defense force. now, armed resistance against the june has increased, many people have attended jungle training camps with have learnt how to handle weapons to make explosives. and they've launched a tax against security forces in rural and urban areas. june to achieve mental lang,
1:27 pm
has recently vowed to quote annihilate, unquote, antique who opponents blaming them for the violence in the country. local media report say, the june test has given about 2000 weapons to around 77 paramilitary groups. now, what's interesting and perhaps also unsurprising. is that these paramilitary groups will also include outright nationalist put this month known as nava thought, and this group in the past they had been responsible for stoking and team was the rhetoric they had also in the past. align themselves with the military. but what this latest development means is that the fighting man is unlikely to stop and will in fact, most likely worsen, especially with the june turn now not only encouraging, but also arming its supporters to fight against. and he qu protesters,

1:34 pm
factors that sparked to revolution in 2018 leading to the overthrow of the countries. then president amaral bitchy. but the cost has increased tenfold from what it was just 2 years ago. it's the result of the lifting of wheat subsidies as to dan grappled with a shortage of hard currency, global events, half of the contributed to the recent increase in the cost of wheat. 83 percent of sudan suite imports come from russia and ukraine, and the war has affected global wheat supplies. even if sedan decides to look for other sources, forthwith import it will likely be at a higher cost. the work in ukraine has increased, the price of wheat and sudan will still need to secure hosp currency to buy it. and right now, that's something that's in short supply. international donor, suspended a to the government following lost his military take over. dan is already grappling with an economic crisis and devalued its currency last year and again in early march that increase the cost of those living in poverty to more than 70 percent.
