his presidency on the line. emanuel mccoy and mine le pen faceoff in a televised debate, and boulders as flattened livelihoods in new delhi, despite a court order to stop the destruction of shops and businesses. ah the siege of mar you paul, is nearly 8 weeks old, but still the port city resists the russian advance. moscow's delivered a string of ultimatums calling on the ukrainian forces to surrender. each one ignored m. r. u po, steal works has become the focal point of the crisis in the city. the mayor's office reports up to 2000 people, a trapped inside the military commanders, as the russian forces outnumber his troops by 10 to one. you cranes, president flutter, ms. events came at the european council president, shall michelle in keep on wednesday. zalinski said his forces were unable to

unblock variable, but said no one would surrender to the enemy. michelle says russia must be held accountable for war crimes. he's the latest western leader to visit ukraine, where he's toward bird younger west of the capital, to see the damage from russia's offensive 1st hand. in a show solidarity, he described what he saw in the town as atrocities. reaching zelinski and keith, he reiterated europe's commitment to providing military financial and political support. these are atrocities. these are all crimes it to most to be polished. it will be punished. the most p for what the, if done done in, and in many of the cities and other locations in ukraine and right, know, they chew. i seemed to do the people, the soldiers with the sort of the civilians in the don't bus in my, you're pulling in the other cities who are fighting for their life while fighting

for the sovereignty of ukraine. but they know very well why fighting for the european values for the freedom, for the democratic principles. the training president room is lensky says, forces defending mario poll, need more weapons. that might be helpful in order to unblock mario cool, there are 2 ways, serious, heavy weapons that we are counting on. if you are so far, we don't have enough of these weapons was what the 2nd way is diplomatic. so par, russia does not agree to this, or whatever public signals they make, that they are open, that they'll make exchanges when they continue to play their own games. bulky wows earlier, the ukranian merchant commander pleaded for foreign help. so let another similar with the national this is our appeal to the world. this could be our last appeal of our lives. we are may be facing our last days, if not, our enemies outnumbering us 10 to one. they have advantage in the air in artillery, in their forces on land and equipment. and in tanks were only defending one object, the cell plant, where in addition to military personnel,

there are also civilians who form victim to this war. we appeal and plead to all world leaders to help us. whatever her need is a live person, keep what's happened order with the latest plans for humanitarian cordele. well, in shorts it was an yet another plan that had actually failed. and now, according to ukrainian officials, there were about a dozen buses that were waiting to get permission to reach the outskirts of my you pull, they were ready since 2 o'clock this afternoon, which was the agree time, according to your green official that did not happen. i mean, this has been a passion, i would say over the past few weeks has been extremely difficult to get people out . of marie polena has been really a trickle of people really managing to make their way out to safety. now as you

were mentioning, there's a large number of people trapped in the as of steel. a plant there, that's where also there's the last, the last number of ukrainian forces. and he, as a freshman, that are making and that they're holding up, as you said, they're outnumbered, they're out gun. they are in a very difficult position. they've been actually showing pictures of all these people in the basements, and you'd be quite surprised when you see those videos that they have been sending of the amount of young children and who have been there at now how to get them out is a very difficult way and as we just heard from that ukrainian and marine commander and that he's appealing to the world to try to extract the civilians. there we hear it similar words from the air leader of the as of regiment over to pass a few days. but it seems at the moment it is an impossible task. add to that that

the mayor of marie pull is saying that there's about a 100000 people still in maria pull. they have no war to they have no gas. they have no electricity is still quite cold in this country. ah, they've been living through tim, tara, terrifying can since over the past few weeks. and so this really humanitarian catastrophic keeps on unfolding. bait, day by day getting worse, day by day. and in the midst of all that you have the last stand of these ukrainian forces trying to hold. but as they say, it could be a matter of hours or at the maximum days if help doesn't come any time soon. and in the meantime, ukraine is expecting further military aid. what mortgage has by that well, the u. s. has, has actually send yet another shipment as arrived earlier in the day in poland and should have been should be making its way to

a ukraine on that shipment. we don't have the specifics, but we do know that ukraine has been asking specifically for artillery equipment, for anti air misses, anti ship misses and for heavier weapons than it has had in the past. all of that to go to a really the east of the country where a different war is unfolding. whereas what phase one has happened in the cities in the western part, as some sort of one could say, may be gorilla. been with world fair, we're in the east is a different ward. you have a long, a contact land, you have trenches, there are the ukrainians, have been digging there for the past 8 years. that is a frontline, that frontline, on the other side you have to rush in forces and the separatists who are saying that they will push through because the final aim is to take the whole of dumbass,

so the ukrainians need those weapons as soon as possible in the weeks before the war, they were preparing for a war in the east. if indeed it would have happened. many at the time didn't believe that they would be a war that russia surprised them, but coming from the north, coming from the south, completely diverting all the assets of the ukrainian military. so they need that as soon as possible as this, this a war in the east is about to enter. it's a really a fierce stage. we're still not there yet. yes, there is heavy shelling every night a yes, the russians and the separate is, are pushing as much as they can. and we spoke to some soldiers that we have met at before under frontline. and they're saying that it is a very difficult position. they need support as quick as possible. so yes, these weapons are gonna come in, but you know, once they come in,

they come in from the west of the country. they come in from live eve and they have to make all down their way all across the country to reach the east. and we have seen in the past that russia has been targeting military assets, has been targeting bridges, has been targeting roads just 2 days ago. there was a missile attack in levine, 3 of those missile targeted military installation. one could presume though, these military insemination had some of that military aid that comes in because livid and the area around it is the 1st stop. so certainly it is a race against time border ukrainians. they need all of that equipment as quick as possible. but once it comes into the country, it's yet another challenge to get it to the east of the country. i'd have them me. thank you very much. deed or in east, our correspondent touch. all stratford has managed to get close to what's been called the line of contact. that's where both sides are exchanging fire. he visited to cross gentiva in easton,

ukraine's dumbass region and sent this report suddenly around this area seen some of the heaviest fighting in the last 48 hours or so. and that was up until this morning. certainly around here. we've heard sporadic shelling in this area. we've been to a village basically the closest bill as you can get to the frontline, ukrainian military advising heavily on us. not going any further. we've met a woman in that village. i suppose. you could really describe it more of a hamlet, or 4 or 5 houses. aha, a shell had landed very close to her home. and basically much of the home destroyed . we asked her why she hasn't joined the hundreds of thousands of other people that have left this area. and it's often the same response that you get from people still here, which is literally, i have no where else to go. meanwhile, we understand that there has been shelling in various different places along the front line. we can hear stuff going on both to our east and west,

the rumbling of what sound like curb possibly air strikes, possibly heavy artillery. we cannot confirm either side whether whether it's incoming or outgoing. and interestingly, there is this sense of a renew confidence if you like, in the ukranian military amongst the ukrainian officials who are saying that there has been, or they describe as an offensive to try or at least repelling the success in repelling russia's move. the russian forces moves on a number of different areas. russia says it has successfully tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile, called a summit. hasn't got any. putin says it will provide food for thought. for that, she threatened must get a sound that has been under development for years. they put in older rushes nuclear forces to be put on high lead days, alternating ukraine dosage of our has often musket. a russian president vladimir

putin has since congratulated at the defense minister and he has said that this is sar mots. intercontinental ballistic missiles will reliably insure the security of russia from current threats, letting me put, and also said that it will make those who are trying to threaten russia to think it is now going to be the largest and nuclear capable ballistic missile that russia will have in its fleet and arsenal, and according to the defense ministry, this is this a sore mot. missile will be part of a ongoing series of tests. and then once those tests are completed, they and michelle will be replacing what they already have in their arsenal. this is one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest, ballistic missile in the world, that will be joining rushes, current stockpile. you inspector general antonio terrors is pushing for the

presence of russia and ukraine to meet up for to get us a james phase is at un headquarters. the un has sent separate letters to the craniums and the russians requesting that they arrange a trip by the secretary general to keep and to moscow if they say yes, this could be one of the most important developments since the start of the war that have been talks between the 2 sides, but they have gone nowhere. this would mean the un leader effectively carrying out shuttle diplomacy. as spokesman gave more details, we're going to take things one step at a time, so the letters were sent. the idea would be for him to go to both capitals to moscow, into care, to meet with both presidents to discuss whatever urgent steps can be taken to stop the fighting. i'm not going to give him a label in terms of what he will be doing, but this is,

this remains part of the secretary general's good offices, which he has been talking about really for, for quite some time. it follows a call by the secretary general for a 4 day humanitarian pause over orthodox easter. that's something the craniums reacted to positively. but there's been no official response from moscow that has been criticism of the secretary general in recent days. more than 200 forma un officials wrote a letter calling on him to step up his personal diplomacy or risk the future of the united nations. he'll come one out there at progressive continue to rally, and despite the death of a demonstration, integration detention in malaysia comes in for criticism optimal. the 500 rank refugees escape from a temporary affinity. ah,
