4:03 pm
well, it is certainly a patchwork of fighting and violence all up and down the east eastern section of this country. but separate and i've definitely been in the spotlight more than other areas in the last few days, specifically because it is one of the last major pockets of resistance in the highest region which makes up half of the don bus region. which of course, as you said, russian forces are eager to take as quickly as possible. and now what we're hearing on the ground from the city administrator on the ukrainian side of $79.00 is that the russian advance is moving towards the center of the city. but they insist that it is continuing to be slow. now how slow is that? it may depend on perspective. he is confirming that half of the city is currently under russian occupation. yesterday, it was just about a 3rd. so what is slow? what is fast? it really depends on who you ask, but the government here confirms the local government on the ground confirms that
4:04 pm
they are putting up a stiff resistance against the russian advance. that is indeed killing and maiming civilians at a high rate. but again, because of the conflict, it is difficult to know exactly what's happening to people on the ground. now we have estimates of that approximately 1500 civilians have been killed in the fighting so far. and the city administrator there, the head of the city administration, confirming that evacuations have been stopped now. they've been ongoing up until yesterday, but they had to be stopped because of heavy fighting st street battles between russian ukrainian forces. and of course as we reported yesterday. ready there was an attack on an armor, conway that was meant to be evacuating people from several been at and a journalist who was there to document that incident was also killed in that, in that attack. zane stay with us. i just want to show some pictures here of ukrainian and foreign journalists along with ukrainian soldiers coming on the file . ah,
4:05 pm
now this video has been authenticated by our team at al jazeera. however, the exact location isn't certain journalists so clearly marked with press vests, could be seen falling to the ground as a shell lambs. yesterday, the death of the french journalist, frederick le quick m hoffman into hans brought to 24. the number of media workers killed in ukraine since the invasion, 3 months ago. st goes to show really, i mean, looking at those, those pictures just how dangerous a situation this remains for journalists looking to bring the truth of what's happening that the world that's exactly right now, while that number is 24, may pale in comparison to the overall civilian casualty of an estimated 9000 people since the russian invasion began. it has to be said that oftentimes the journalists are going in the same direction as ukrainian troops to the front line, putting themselves in this kind of danger. and it is not the 1st time that we've seen clips like this circulated on social media,
4:06 pm
where journalists are being directly seemingly directly targeted. now what ukranian soldiers warns journalists on the front line about is that russian forces on the other side of the front line have the capability of being able to track cell phone signals. and being able to track communication devices that journalists in areas like this often used to communicate with head office to be able to send foot to be able to perform their jobs and being able to track those devices. being able to specifically see and target journalists, it would seem that they are purposefully targeting those that are reporting this for i was just saying disrupting that reporting live from ukraine's capital case and say many thanks. and deed, russia says it's done everything it could to avoid a global food crisis. russia's offensive, and ukraine and western sanctions of disrupted deliveries of wheat and other commodities. speaking in the rain on a visit to the gulf, so gay love ralph said that it's up to ukraine on the west to get supplies moving again later when you know,
4:07 pm
pretty much the we've our friends in detail about the measures taken by the russian side for more than a month to ensure the free passage of ukrainian grain carrying ships which are currently trapped in ukrainian ports. but for this ukrainian officials must clear minds from ukrainian territorial waters. if the de mining problem which we have been drawing the attention of western colleagues for several weeks is resolved, the russian navy will ensure that these ships passing to the mediterranean and then to their destinations one from out of here thought such a berry who's in moscow the foreign minister talked about one of the main issues at the moment, and that is the issue of food security. and the a growing are worry by western countries and all other countries around the globe about the price of grain and food security. as a result of this conflict, the foreign minister said that they are ships have not been able to leave at the ports in ukraine due to mines that have been laid out by the ukrainian military.
4:08 pm
and until the russian military is able to de mind those areas in the sea of the black sea, these ships will not be able to be escorted by the russian military, out to their destinations. and he said that the issue that also has been raised by the western countries really is also an issue that's been made by them to be as much larger than it needs to be. as a result of the sanctions that have been placed on russian ships and a logistics at that disrupt this supply of food and grains, mainly from ukraine and russia. the russian for mr. surgeon love said that it is now time for western countries to make a decision. he said, what is more important for them p. r on the problem of food security, or to solve this problem with concrete steps. it is up to them. it's very much part of the rhetoric from the russian officials that this is a man made a issue and that as a result of the sanctions imposed on their russian ships and their financial chains,
4:09 pm
that would see them go out to the various different ports in the world and there is certain disruption to the supply of grain and wheat. and the food crisis is topping the agenda for ear leaders on the final day of the summit in brussels. the big summit announcement came on monday night when they agreed to buy most russian oil imports by the end of the year. it was a compromise deal to overcome objections. but hungary, but other member states, which are more dependent upon russian and a trip the commission and the french presidency has been working intensively in the last days to move forward on this package. we're not there yet, but it has matured for sure. my expectation, i know that it will be solved in the next 48 hours, but i'm confident that the after that will be a possibility. why if that a brussels aren't diplomatic, it's james base is the live for us. james, after that compromise yesterday on russian sanctions over oil. i mean,
4:10 pm
it was quite a compromise to what can they do about the global food crisis? well, that's certainly the next thing on the agenda and being discussed now. in fact, the meetings overrun it, it's most of ended some time ago. they have a big problem here. first, it's the grain that's trapped inside ukraine. how do you get that grain out of the country? and that is problematic because they've only got road routes and train routes that there are simple things which are very big, logistical problems like the gauge of the trains from ukraine where it then reaches the rest of the europe is different. it's a logistical nightmare that respect the eas, trying to work on what caused solidarity lanes to get the grain out by land. but you can't get the same amount of grain out by land as you would by sea. and of course, the sea roots are blocked by the russians. there are discussions i heard about in
4:11 pm
some nato capitals about whether anything can be done about c roots. that's not something that will be discussed here. could you, for example, though, have nato escorts for shipping. that something that is being discussed, as i say at a very early stage in some capitals, but it's very, very difficult to do that. and also what's being discussed is the wider effects of this. we've got mackie sal, who's the chair of the african union here in brussels for this meeting. he's the president of senegal, and i think he'll be making the case that this is being felt very, very severely in africa, in asia, and in other parts of the world. way away from europe are diplomatic. it's james plays reporting live from brussels forever. james, many thanks. indeed. the rest of the day is to use a heads. canada looks at banning the sale of hand guns following recent mass shootings in the u. s. plus. i'm gabe rose. onto a new york city where the mayor has ordered the forceful removal of all old listen

4:34 pm
that unfortunately the reality seems to be that ukraine is a crime scene. and we'll do our best to focus our resources, to make sure we couldn't get to grips with what has taken place and elevate the most serious, apparent crimes for investigation. toby cabman is the co founder of the guernica group, earned co head of guernica, 37 international justice chambers in london. he's with us now live to be good savvy with us. nobody has a blank check to do what they want on says korean carnegie's right. of course. but how enough do you go about investigating possible war crimes in an area where conflict is ongoing? thank you. i think one of the, one of the greatest challenges that they do have is that the war is raging on as we say we're, we're also seeing mass graves being uncovered even even today. so it is a very, very difficult task. i think what's important is that we are saying an unprecedented resources being, being given,
4:35 pm
to the prosecutor authorities and with the joint investigative task forces that are bringing together countries like permanent lithuania, countries that have an interest in investigating and prosecuting these matters domestically. i think that the resources are being placed that but i think what we would like to see much more is the strengthening of they prosecute general's office and support been given to her office and they can be properly investigated. as we know, the never going to court who not be able to deal with everything and what sort of evidence needs to be gathered in order to sex successfully mount war crimes persecution. ready when it goes, it's a very good question and it depends on the nature of the actual crime that you're investigating. i think what we're seeing is a combination of on the ground for forensic evidence which is being picked up accumulated by the witnesses. i witness satellite imagery
4:36 pm
and there's, as we know nowadays, a lot of this find this way on to social media. so there's a variety of different sources of evidence that will be made available. we just want to make sure that it is being collected in incredible way so that whatever evidence is collected will ultimately be admissible before a court of law. whether that's in the hague or, or in case, how long will it take us to successfully prosecute someone who perhaps is, is, is not going to be brought before a court to face justice because the government doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the i. c. c. i think that the 2 very important points to erase and festival the length of time will crunch investigations that are in nature are complex and can take many, many years. i think what we looking at the situation in ukraine for many years to
4:37 pm
come, as we've seen in other conflict areas, such as a governor, whether it's doing prosecuting rams from the $90.00 to $95.00 conflict in terms of whether we can get the perpetrators before court yes, of course the, the majority of the perpetrators are going to be russian military and political figures that will not necessarily cooperate with an investigation. but that's why the documentation of these crimes has to occur now. so that the evidence is safeguarded. so even if we're not able to get through them before court today and tomorrow, we will be able to get the most senior traders before court one day. and i think that's the aspiration that needs to look too good to talk to you too many. thanks again for being with us, toby captain, that from the gun cook group in london. thank you. israel's defense minister says that it's time to consider designating extreme right wing israeli groups as terrorist organizations. it follows an ultram nationalist march through hebron in
