vladimir putin to start paying for gas in rubles, and he's threatened to cancel contracts otherwise. all right, let's cross to live event, right. join just now rob. so tell us more, 1st of all about the situation in mary paul, if you would, and the efforts to get people out. that's right, that is the process continues as we understand it, that to try to establish this humanitarian, colorado. but it does seem to be a long and problematic process. it is being pushed by the ukrainians who are sent 45 buses, a down to the region. also by the i see, i see the international committee of the red cross who said that they would organize it on the understanding that both sides agree to a cease fire to allow this all to happen. these buses have got, as far as this is a port city that has been occupied by the russians since the very start of the war . it's further along the coast from berry you,

paul. they see the planned route would be through this safety. the bus is going in then in theory, coming out, bringing people who are desperate to get out of the city and then join. do we understand it by private cars as well. going through this russian control territory, but then heading go into territory controlled by the ukrainians. we understand that the past 24 hours around 1500 people according to the ukrainians, have managed to get out of the city according to the i c. c. it's not only a question getting people out, but the humanitarian a did, and that's what they also want to see as part of this process. but we understand from the deputy mayor of mary paul. but it is simply too dangerous for people at the moment to attempt to leave the city also accusing the russians in the last couple of days of stopping even small amounts of humanitarian aid. getting into the city. and robot. talked to resume, made a lot of skepticism about rushes position. there

is, i mean that there is a, as you depreciate after the more than a month of conflict, there is a lack of good will on both sides. we had 2 days of talks in istanbul, tuesday, wednesday, face to face talks. today, friday, the talks will resume, but this will be an online via video link and just how much progress has been made or is being made a remains in question. yesterday, thursday, the 2 sides in theory went back to a disgusted with our own people. whether what their physicians are, where they're up to, and presumably to day when they resume, they will be coming back, may be with a different proposals to be putting to each other with. we are short on detail, but we do know a from the russians from vladimir putin, he has says, said that said very little has come out of the talks so far, according to the ukrainians. we pretty much know what their position is and what they might be willing to conceive. for example, a commitment to neutrality, giving up attempts to join nato that's been mentioned by president zalinski

a lot in the past. the problems are obviously, will come when it, when it comes to the question of the russians withdrawing troops and giving up territory that they have that taken. how much territory they will be willing to give up on their lensky seems to be a realistic about that. saying that he can't expect russia to give up every piece of ukrainian ground that the russians have taken a but said, but that remains authority issue. and of course, when it comes to the ukrainians, they are extremely skeptical about any moves by the russians call. these claims that russian is partially disengaging, especially in the north of the country, around kia, according to the ukrainian that disengaging at because they being beaten back, and as they withdraw and retreat, they are simply cover those retreats where the more shall fire and more missile attack so there is a lot of skepticism from the ukrainians, just about the russian position. all right, thanks for update, robert, right there in live. well,

nato says that rushing forces on scaling or invasion, but regrouping to fight in east and ukraine. the battle to controlled ca keep is ongoing. one us official says russia is not making any major gains. the russian, say the manager in crisis there is getting worse. that's up this report now from acid bag, which contains distressing images from the start. there's only death here. bodies of young russian soldiers lying unclaimed, apparent victims of poor tactics or so the ukrainians tell us which in the same number by e are for the it was very intensified and our guys have high morale. a special promotion was planned together with a 92nd brigade. they flank this position and then clear to the russians, had poor defensive position, say the enemies exposing them to ukrainian artillery. this was a russian defensive line. all along here you have what's left over

of this intense battle burnt out. tanks, weapons left behind grenades. they didn't even have time to take some of their data. everywhere we look, there are signs of battle and fear of chemical attack, ukrainian soldiers salvage what's left. the village of mother ro hunt is back under ukrainian control, but the cost has been high. a fierce battle pushed the russians away from the gates of her keith's paws. it just did last. 21 year old guinea has been awarded, ukraine's highest honor for destroying 5 tanks and other heroics during battle. he tells us it's the 1st time he'd come across the use of phosphorus, the highly flammable chemical on the blah,

blah. but it was my 1st experience with phosphorus. air strikes with no scary as the phosphorus 1st use the air strikes, then the phosphorus below eyes were burning. i couldn't breathe through my nose. it was like really difficult to bridge and those are the same. but the equipment was burning, it was bad. and below now, we can't independent key verify it's use. this is one of the main streets. in this village, i was completely destroyed every building, every window. everything that you see has some sort of damage the bullet holes in the doors, the windows have been blown at the bricks all over the place. and we've been told that we can only stick to this main road because everywhere around hasn't been completely de mine, because the fear is that the russians have left mines and booby traps behind for the ukrainian soldiers taking this place. but as you seek,

there's not much left. i said bake algebra outside hockey for an oil depot, and the russian city belgrade, on the border with ukraine is on fire. is government says 2 workers have been injured and some areas have been evacuated. he blames ukrainian military helicopters attack yet, but keep has not claim responsibility. now munition definition, both road column fall on wednesday. president joe biden has announced the largest release of us oil reserves in history to try and ease domestic and global prices. it's a 3rd time and 6 months, that bivens is drawn on the stockpiles of crude oil. 1000000 barrels a day will be added into international market by kind of reports from the white house. us consumers had been warned, they would pay the price for sanctions against russia. and so they are the price of gas that the pumps is increased by nearly a dollar some 20 percent since the russian invasion of ukraine. it's risen 47

percent in the past year. and president biden has announced a series of measures to bring some relief to the u. s. consumer, including a release of 1000000 barrels a day from the strategic petroleum reserve. this is a war time bridge to increase oil supplier to production ramps up later this year. and it is by far the largest release from our national reserve in our history to provide historic amount of supply for historic amount of time, a 6 months bridge to the fall in more republicans dismissed. the move as politically motivated reserve is supposed to exist for jot unforeseen crises, such as a war between great powers is not there, so that the energy politicians whose policies have raised gas prices, can try to hide that from the public. this is just one of a multi pronged approach to using the oil crisis. the president is also invoking

the defense production act to ease supply chain issues that have hinted the drive to promoting clean energy. for example, removing the bottleneck and the supply of components like lithium, essential to the development of electric vehicles. the president also had harsh words with some oil companies that he says of seeking to profit from the crisis for us, all companies that are recording their. 1 largest profits in years. they have a choice, one, they can, but those profits productive use by producing more orals, restarting idle wells are producing on the sites. they already are leasing, giving the american people a break by passing some of the savings on their customers and lowering the price of the pump. or they can, as some of them are doing, exploit the situation. and in a controversial move, he is called on congress to penalize companies at least federal land, but are not drilling on it. president biden says the u. s. has

a history of seeking opportunity in crisis. and the long term aim is to make the country oil independent by increasing traditional production. and by further developing clean energy resources. the political reality is that to achieve the long term aim, the president's party would have to retain control of congress. and that is likely to be determined by whether the short term aim of producing gas prices by the time of mid term elections in november is achieved. by keta, jazeera washington, millions of ukrainians have fled to neighboring poland since russia's invasion by the assassin settling in the capital. but the services there strained of emma was pleading for help. kimberly ha, curtis this report now from warsaw. ah, warsaw is a city under stress within days of rushes, invasion of ukraine,

but he was the united nations to help manage the effort. so far, poland government has refused. the mayor says he's not sure how much longer the city can cope. and the refugees who are currently being welcomed into warsaw may soon have know where to go. kimberly hell get al jazeera, warsaw, poland. the cranes government says that russian forces have left the exclusion zone around the de functionable nuclear plants on thursday. ukraine told the u. s. nuclear watchdog, the control of the planted behind it back to its pers no novel was taken at the beginning of the war in february. ukrainian staff stayed behind to manage the site of europe's worst euclid's after. so lead here are now to 0. i mean pork noise arctic circle, one of the largest military exercises and decades between nato alliance members,

commodities to india at low prices. and india has defended the increase in those imports, saying that when fuel prices go up, that it's natural for nations to look for good deals with their people. and that only about one percent of its energy supplies come from russia. they'll also need to discuss indian payments to russian banks, which are affected by us sanctions. india will be looking for assurances from russia that the war and ukraine will not be disrupting the delivery of military equipment to india, russia, as india's biggest arm supplier, the sporting fallout from the crane war has continued to meet you footballs well, governing body feature, ukraine, and says that russia should be thrown out of fee for while russia says that the country is being unfairly treated. only richardson was at the fee for congress in russia's national teams may be banned from all competitions. but the countries football union was at the annual congress of the sports world governing body fer

a community that 4 years ago had been gathering in russia for the world cup, a great success sporting lee and culturally but obviously it did not solve the problems of the world. it did not even solve the problems in the region. the man who headed up russia's well kept organizing committee in 2018, says the ban on his country's football teams is on just you have a case going to the court of arbitration, the sport. do you think you have a good case or to overturn the pantheon national things? yes we, we did go to costco. we indeed think that our players and our football fans about deserve it. and our team should have had the right to continue the qualifications. we certainly wouldn't not welcome this decision, but to the point at this moment, it is what it is faith. it will now turn his attention to the drawer for the group
