ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lived from berlin. the us says it's working on a deal to supply fighter jets to ukraine. secretary of state antony lincoln says, the u. s. is in talks with poland to replenish its stock of war planes. if warsaw decides to provide its own jets to its neighbour, 10, a 2nd attempt today to evacuate ukrainian civilians, officials and the va saved city of mary. you, paul, have begun efforts to move people to safety along

a humanitarian corridor. they were forced to postpone evacuations on saturdays due to states fire violations, and hundreds of men line up in the capital cave to join the army united in their resolved to defend their homeland from invasion. thus we report from the german polish border where volunteers are organizing aid convoys for ukrainians and transportation for refugees seeking safety. ah, i'm rebecca for it is welcome to the program. those stories in just a moment, but 1st let's cross over to d, w reporter matthew more who's at a pro ukrainian demonstration taking place in berlin right now. that's good to see . you. tell us what's going on where you. oh hi rebecca. yep. just behind me you can, might be able to hear their son as

a speakers on the stage behind me. i'm an people plats and the center of berlin, which is a historically symbolic place, not least because the history of the city. but because this is where they're at 19 thirties that nazis were burning books. and today it's where cultural fargo's from berlin are meeting and gathering to, to whole 3 hours of talks and music, to show support for the people and ukraine. and actually the banner that they're meeting under is for our freedom and for their freedom. and i think there is a sense here that this war has really shaken and people here in berlin and, and germany in the world. and that the organizer see that it suits this historical, linguistic, and cultural. and that ukraine is actually historically linguistically and culturally, a kind of european miniature. and so today there's going to be a range of speakers. am from i we way the chinese artists to east german resistance . singer songwriter, voice beer men, to bellow russian oral historian,

svetlana alexi rich and peruvian noble prize winner mario vargas moore, sir. and so that, that's the plan today. and this, as you can probably see behind miller, people gathering with flags, signs and so on. so very symbolic statement, matthew, we can see obviously people are behind you. a few people, but what i'm for how many people are organized expecting today, we know that there was up to half a 1000000 at that protest, a similar protest, a last weekend. oh yeah, there was this been like for the last week there's been thousands, hundreds of thousands of people here in germany and across europe and the world to be now on, on the street showing support organizers today aren't, aren't in a position really to say, how many they're expecting, but are certainly think it'd be a strong tar no, just because of how this war and decrease rushes invasion of ukraine has really shaken people here and i just spoke to one women, a ukrainian women whose family are in and yes,

yes. and she got teary talking to me and she said it was um, she felt bad being here. she said that it. she feels crazy being here because she feel bad for the people back home every day. she say she wakes up, she gets a text message from a friend to say that they're alive and she just and she, she, she broke down when i was talking to her and she said so being here and other people turning up on, on, on the streets is really important, she says it's such a great sense of strength for ukraine. and when she put people back, hormann ukraine, that there, that it, that it gets them hope and that it means something that the, that the world is watching. and that the world cares. yeah. really, truly confronting a situation for people even outside the country. now you've been obviously speaking to the people as they're gathering their matthew, do you get a sense that people support the way that germany is handling their involvement, their support for ukraine? right. i mean, yeah, i do actually, i just spoke to

a polish man who's saying that that in the last few days, security seo and hey, security of jam, near poland has really come into sharp focus on the feeling as that you know, europe has been for too long maybe a bit, a sleep at the wheel and he said that watch all the kind of the russian audacity as he described there was a hard, a tough pill to swallow. and i think that that is all sorts of an hour. you see change in public opinion at rebecca as to as to what germany should do and what europe should do to kind of to, to, to strength and security in the face of the war. and i had a new printer or i, matthew, thank you. we'll come back to you as when that kicks off a little bit more later during the program. thanks, matthew. yeah, well, as russia continues its assault on ukraine, the united states has indicated its looking into ways for poland to supply fighter jets to ukraine. here, secretary of state antony blinkin,

said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish its own stalks. if warsaw decides to send you crown fighter jets from its fleet. pilots in the ukrainian air force are already trained to fly the soviet aeroplanes. lincoln made the comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbour, moldova, we are, are, we're looking actively now at the question of aeroplanes. the poland may provide a to, to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill should pull and decide to produce those. but 2 hours of supply those plants, deputies need, his billing is in cave for us. mateus the us there considering a plan to assist poland even where to send a fighter jets to ukraine. that's a move that would no doubt be welcomed by ukraine. oh, what about burton? would that be a red line for president putin?

what, who says red lines is some something that maybe people have talked about a little bit too much. putin has already said that ukraine defending itself against the russian invasion is the red line for him. and so he's, he's, he's named quite a few others. of course the natal needs to weigh in the risk offer of an escalation or the big escalation. but these planes have already been promised to ukraine. several european east european countries have already said that they would be ready to supply ukraine with old soviet airplanes. similar and designed to those that ukrainian pilots already know. so i don't think that this crosses the direct engagement of nature military into these conflicts. and the rest is of course up to put in what he defines as his red lines. we've heard several of them and a few past few years, really to look into what he really means. would this be the biggest show of

military support? by the way, so far, i think delivering javelins are so far beam quite so and, and other anti tank and anti anti airplane massage has already been quite a display of military support. of course, planes are what are needed now because from the ukrainian perspective, the biggest danger now are not the troops fighting on the ground but the old but, but everything that's in the else cause. russia has a lot more airplanes than ukraine, ukraine, as a pretty small air force. so i think it would be quite a significant sign. and ukraine has demanded many times that the nato would in store a no fly zone. effectively, meaning that nato would engage in disguise. over ukraine, that's what nato has refused. this could be

a way out of without engaging nato troops in this war. that, which is something, as i have said, that nato was really trying to fatigue attending to the humanitarian effort. now and of course today the humanitarian sci fi to allow for evacuation. there have been reports that people are already starting to leave those areas. is this sci fi more likely to hold than the one that was planned for yesterday? likely in as a something that's very hard to operate with now we haven't heard that it had to has been broken yet. that's already a good sign. and we also heard that it seems as if people have already been moved out of there. however, all of this needs confirmation on the one side and it needs confirmation by the ukrainian authorities. the fact that we haven't heard that the t y os

collapsed yet is a sign of hope. you're in cave, what's the situation there and around the capital today? as you can see around me, there very few people on the streets. of course, ma'am you have never seen in the past few days. all these a cause of traffic jams out of the city, people who have a calm, many of them have left families, have left some people have returned some men of return, who have brought their families there to the border as men cannot leave the country . but overall out there that it's likely that the much few people in the city had at the present time, the unusually and also people are much really trying to a, to be outside a lot. supermarkets are open water and electricity are there. so the situation is, is, is okay, and a humanitarian way to do this kind of price is it,

but it's tendencies and the troops are quite close to the capital in the northern suburbs fighting has been going on death for days. people are hiding and shelters not being able to leave to date. we had used at some people who tried to leave this area so tense, but kon here. i'm a t a thank a database mathias filling an mt british military intelligence or so say russian forces and now deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians. a response to the ukranian resistance which is slowing rushes advance in spite of these increasingly brutal tactics. volunteers, including many from outside ukraine, are signing up to join ukraine's army and men between the ages of 18 and 60 have to stay in the country. so they're available for conscription. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower,

and without support from nato hearing keith there waiting to sign up, the ukraine armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort. not to me, a war is the case, which is my duty, but i won't be useful. i want to help you. i want protect. i want to fight back with. i want my family to return to ukraine as soon as possible, and i will do my best of the volunteers stalking up for the battle ahead and optimistic about victory renaud. why redefined our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting. ah, russian military forces, they know what they're doing. those guys, they don't, we know which we are doing. and that's why real, when it's that determination, that's helped inspire volunteers from much further field to join the fight at. craig, mimic, tree, lensky here from his boyfriends group. barbie, even though the country for on and what is your thought is la galvan was valuable for no illusions of honor romantic ideas of war. old la,

i'm going to be some hero role makers differently. so any of the spotless is water if you could die? yes, really, if we're going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city, the a pin. just outside keep. it looks likely, the volunteer bravery will soon be put to the test. let's take a look at some other developments in the conflict. several western media organizations say there suspending reporting in russia with many journalists leaving the country. the decision comes after the criminal pass legislation cracking down on independent reporting. under the new law journalists can face up to 15 years in prison for describing hooton's attack on ukraine as an invasion or war credit card giants, mastercard, and visa say there suspending operations in russia dealing the latest blow to the increasingly isolated countries embattled financial system. the move follows

crushing economic sanctions imposed by the west in response to the invasion. russia's largest airline state owned arrow flop, says it will hold all international flights except a bell ruse from the 8th of march. this comes after russia's aviation agency, one the russian plains laced from foreign companies, could be impounded. unter international sanctions. 33 countries have already banned russian aircraft from the air space on israel appears to be emerging as the diplomatic dark horse on saturday. prime minister enough, tarley bennett, became the 1st world leader to meet was that important? since the invasion began? the surprise meeting was followed by talks with ukrainian president lensky. bennett, then travelled on to germany the 2nd time this week. the 2 ladies met, after shalt visited jerusalem on wednesday to discuss a diplomatic solution to the crisis. bennett has offered to act as

a mediator with israel, maintaining good relations with both russia and ukraine. of more, let's bring in date of political correspond benjamin alvarez gruber, benjamin. what do we know about the meeting between chancellor shelter and israel's natalie bennett? it was a 90 minutes talk that they had. we don't have more details of how these talks between israel's prime minister in the russian president vladimir putin went. but both of them on the line of the commitment and said that they will do anything that they can. so everything in there is strength to enter war in ukraine as soon as possible. why did bennett take the initiative to mediate in this conflict? israel is a quite interesting position because they have warming very good relations both to kiev and also to moscow. but there are 2 interest to your contrasting interest when we look at israel. on one side, of course, it wants to belong to the western alliance, one to show itself close to the u. s. but on the other side,

there's no security risk, as well as it has a military corporation with russia in syria. so that's where many see israel and salons. you're also asked israel to try to be a mediator and try to find common ground between russia and ukraine. and of course both leaders so israel's prime minister banner and all actual will be closely following. busy the 3rd rounds of 2 peace talks between russia and ukraine, that is expected to take place on monday. and im an hour as group of thanks very much a turkey has also been undertaking diplomatic efforts to try to end the war president, wretch of time. early one of turkey has spoken by phone with his russian counterpart vladimir putin and urged him to agree to a cease fire in ukraine, open a humanitarian car doors, and to come to a pe steel. turkey has close relations with both moscow and here the recently moved to limit the passage of russian warships into the black sea. a longstanding,

international agreement allows anchor to block ships from passing through it straight during war time, but it can't prevent them from returning to their home ports. data bill is, dion jones is in istanbul. forester and what do you know about that call between a president and putin? well, the court has finished up, but there's been no reed out of what actually happened in those talks, the uneven moscow or uncovered release. any information as of yet. but i touched prism ter richard type heard one, so spokesman brown collins, speaking to reporters on saturday, said that her one in those tools will call for an end to hostilities by russia and failing that, at least of all cookie. these growing international calls for a cease fire to allow humanitarian corridors to be established to it, to these besieged cities were all across the ukraine, where then the humanitarian aid can be delivered and civilians can exit. and that will be the message from other one apparently will was delivered to putin along

with the fact that according to colon takes position as a can be no resolution to conflict until there's a c c sation of her for of humph. of the conflict and our target is trying to position itself as of as a possible mediator ever since the conflict started on cra, has been trying to position itself to mediate between nope of ukraine. and roger is present nerd. one has close relations with both those countries, presidents, but as a fietta, putin has rebuffed those f as by turkey. could these latest develop be seen as turkey taking aside? i mean, as you say, there, nato country has really close relations with ukraine and russia. well that's the question that i'm in this country really put, took in a very tight position. i've been walking a tightrope trying to balance relations with both sides of on the one site. turkey hasn't her imposed sanctions against russia and his empire reject to them are saying that they are counterproductive and also turkey has not close his head space

to russian civil plains despite most of its western allies doing that. but the same time turkey has taken a tough stance against russia is closed, it is dumble boss, was able to wait to russian ships on top of that. it has been supplying lot of sophisticated weapons. great. in particular, it's a noteworthy drones which have impacted russian military and a very big and significant way. so i think that their expectation is that ultimately turkey, he's citing with ukraine. and i think the turkey's western allies will be looking at this is the possibility of breaching turkeys relationship with russia and the usa, the deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman boss on saturday, holding talks over ukraine. date of the dorian jones for us in is temple. thank you . oh rushes unprovoked attack on its neighbor. has st. a vast global outpouring of public support for ukraine, as we heard earlier weekend demonstrations have once again been taking place around

the world. demonstrate has called for solidarity with ukraine, condemning rush as president putin, and calling for an end to the war. on the streets of london, rome, tokyo, and on and on throngs of people around the world showed their support for ukraine and their condemnation of russia. in munich, thousands of people formed a human chain that stretched for more than 4 kilometers within. i think it's totally awful, but the russians are doing a lot putting us doing. he's a murderer outrage over the war and ukraine is running high. as the un says, russian bombardment has already killed hundreds of civilians. a huge turn out at paris is placed in la republic, demonstrators told d w. they want the west to step up support. this is, you know, a massive, massive injustice and one of the worst thing that happened in my life. so i'm,

and we're here to send a clear message to the ukranian people to support a message to vladimir putin to stop. now, what a message to europe in the west, you've done good so far do more. while moscow has forbidden protests that doesn't stop russians abroad from speaking out against their president. this war is war from our president, mr. wootton and non war people. he wants to portrayed this war as if he, it's war afresh, but it's not, it's war wouldn't include russian. people don't support him while most of the world has condemned. guten. he is not entirely without support outside his country, as evidenced by the turnout at this pro russian rally in the central african republic. a russia came to our country in a moment of crisis. our country has suffered, our country has been mistreated by the rebels. and that is why we came to support russia, which came to give peace to our country. i. yes,

but russia has brought war, not peace to ukraine. and it's the ukrainian flag that is flying at most anti war demonstrations around the world this week. with no end in sight to the war, the number of refugees keeps climbing. the un says the title figure of people have now fled. ukraine has topped one and a half 1000000. many of those flaying would prefer to stay near by in surrounding countries. sanchez, poland, slovakia, or romania. but more and more are also looking for the west. the border cities of frankfort, oda, and germany. and so bits are in poland already have a very close partnership. within a few days, people there have put together a launch support network, full refugees, date every report to actual rival has moved. oh, mike frederick tries to keep track not useful. so here a food and hygiene items are closed outside the office of his nursing service in

frankfort. odor on the polish border looks like the warehouse of a general store. a bag full of baby food has just been handed in donations for the people of ukraine. cardboard boxes are piling up and friends everywhere are helping to pack. he and his partner started an appeal for donations immediately after the russian invasion of ukraine. the aim to bring the items across poland to the ukranian border in a convoy. this allan, who you're not the period products for women and lots of diapers for the children. the response for children was really huge because children also suffered the most in war. baba price boated speaks from her own experience. equal mouse m. i come by the former yugoslavia early i experienced wore as a child, while my family lost everything, we had nothing but they have a woman comes who wants to provide donations for her home country. okay. not all of them you all. she's lost contact with her relatives who live in keith. oh,

but to tonya albrecht, cannot sit around doing nothing. you know, people have wishes. and since i have time at the moment, i am collecting everything and donating things that people need. but i would, you mentioned vision on be given hub across the oto river lice who pizza, the polish partner, city owning a punky bullet is out and about here. she's hardly gotten any sleep for days. she too, comes from ukraine. and now she's organizing housing for fellow compatriots who have fled. she put up to women and their children in a hotel. they arrived in the night and they don't want to show their faces. we were on the road for 48 hours. the bus had to leave the city at full speed and shells were exploding behind us. and now our men are going to war. when she wants to talk about her family and ukraine,

tears begin to flow. on the german side of the river, the last 8 supplies are being stuffed into cars. originally, 6 cars were planned, but now there are 14 trucks and cars filled to bursting all making their way to the ukrainian border. i feel good. i feel brave and i'm excited. ok, city. of course, that's a big thing we're doing now. and if everything goes well on their way back to germany, they want to take along as many ukrainian refugees as they can. a russian gymnast at the world comp in doha, has provoked outrage by wearing a symbol in support of russian aggression against ukraine. when collecting his bronze medal 20 year old ivan coolly act. don't let a zed a russian war symbol that represents victory. it appears on the front of vladimir putin's tanks and all the military vehicles deployed to ukraine. kodiak shed, the podium with the gold medalist ukrainian sta. india coughed.
