line up in the capital cave to join the army united in there, resolved to defend their homeland from hooton's invasion. fast turkey joined the countries making diplomatic efforts to end the war. president ottawa reaches out directly to vladimir putin asking for a cease thought and humanitarian car doors. ah, i am rebecca writ as welcome to the program. as russia continues its assault on you crying the united states as indicated, it's looking into ways for poland to supply fighter jets to ukraine. he was secretary of state antony blank and said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish it stalks. if warsaw decides to send you crime fighter jets from its own fleet, pilots in the ukrainian f are already trained to fly the soviet aeroplanes. lincoln

made the comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbour, moldova, we are of 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 are 2 hours of supply those plants. let's head straight to our correspondent is pulling a his in cave forest. mentees. i want to get to that statement by blend can and that offer of jets to poland. but 1st we're hearing that the sci fi for mary paul has been broken again. what more can you tell us about that? that's been confirmed by the marina paul authorities. the convoys could not leave the city today because the russian groups are, they have said, have written and thought the firing again goes. we also hearing that another a convoy that was supposed to bring goods into murray who has not arrived yet and

is still under way. so the situation there remains dia, or these. the city has been showed for 6 days, a electricity, water supplies a john. it's a very difficult situation because i've been hiding and show just for a long time supplies running out. so this conway was badly needed and it's failed again, less of course, very bad. now back to then the it is of course, bad news indeed. and we hope that something there will resolve itself in the coming days so that those civilians can't get out. but i now back to that statement by antony blinkin. what would that mean if paula were to send in in jets to ukraine? would that be crossing a want to perkins red lines? which in her is setting a lot of red lines and obviously trained defending against russia.

i suggested that if they continue to defending itself, they will have to bear the consequences, which would be according to him that ukraine would lead, lose its sovereignty. he's been threatening a lot of things out of the question is what would be the consequence is it is for sure something that he doesn't wish to see. but on the other hand is a dancing around red lines that he is setting all over. hasn't really led anywhere admitting your trained and ga tunisia was one of his red lines famously, a few years ago. the europe has adhered to it and others. and there are the examples where western countries have tried to convince ukraine of accepting peace deals that were unfavourable to ukraine all with respect to the red lines, all of this has not worked out, not the nature definitely does not want to get involved in this conflict. and does

not want to put you get into a situation where a direct confrontation with atomic arms would be on the table. but these, this is read lines. question is hard to us. yeah, definitely night having very clear about not wanting to get directly involved there . if this were day to happen, mathias would it signify the biggest military support so far from the west it would be a significant military support. the air force has been ukraine's weakness. ukraine has invested and trained a lot of people on the ground because that has been the war they have been leading for the past 8 years until this a large scale invasion was on the ground. and russia, of course, has quite a big air force. so this is of course, something that would change the, the picture might change the picture, ukraine's f as has been doing much better than expected. also, thanks to some new weapons like the turkish combat drones. and it's something

that the ukraine has said itself. it would really, really request and would really want from her from the, with your trans wishes and no flies on that nature would defend with would not do that. but this would before be a step into closing one of the gaps. now that he is just briefly, you are in cave, just bring us up to speed on the situation there and in the surrounding areas. this is key is main. a main street and, and, and, and we're busy place. usually people come here to shop too, to hang out too that you will see musicians playing here, street musicians. all of this is gone. keith is almost a ghost town. now. you see still you just see people on the street, but very few, many people have left the city. others try not to get out too much for. however,

life is to possible here supermarkets are storm, water, gas, et cetera, are still there. so it's tense here, but it's still possible to live on the test. thank you, david. he's mathias spelling a for us in cave british military intelligent. so say russian forces are now deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians, a response to the ukrainian resistance, which is slowing rush as 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 countryside. 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. here and keep their waiting to sign up, the ukraine armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort

north the me a war of the care which hits my duty. i won't be useful if i want to help you. i want to 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. other volunteers stalking up for the battle ahead and optimistic about victory that we know why we defend our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting our russian military force as they know what they are doing those guys, they don't we know what we are doing and that's why real, when it's that determination that's helped inspire volunteers for much further afield to join the fight at craig merriman, theresa lensky here for his benefit. barbie, even when other countries are on and everybody's just thought you saw galvan was very good or no illusions on a romantic ideas of war. old i'm going to be some hero will make a difference or any of these for this water with her daughter?

yes. going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city via pin. just outside keep. it looks likely the volunteer his bravery will soon be put to the test. turkey has been attempting to play matic efforts to end the war. president a wretch of time. oh no one has spoken by phone with his russian counterpart vladimir putin and urged him to a grey to a cease fire in ukraine. open humanitarian corridors and to come to a pe steel. turkey has close relations with both moscow and keith bout 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 straits during war time, but a can't prevent them from returning to their home ports. i had joined now by d. w correspondent, dorian jones, in istanbul. dorian talk us through turkey's position here and what's at stake if

heard on climbing turkey hill along with most of the international community shares absolute outreach of the humanitarian catastrophe, it is go unfolding ukraine because of russia's invasion for earth. one president, nerd, one has quoted unacceptable in rare public criticism all of russia. but beyond that, i mean, this is a nightmare for one because much of his foreign policy has been developed and having very close relations with both ukraine and russia. russia are very key economic. why much of turkey's energy incorporating in syria and ukraine is one of turkey's most important partners for economics and defense contracts. and in fact, turkish businesses of southern massive damage from this watch, an invasion. so for early one who's trying to cover his economy, he fears that this unfolding invasion of ukraine will deal most to conway and he stacy re election next year. so he's desperate for this comment to him. for many

have tried before him and so far failed is early one, some one potent is likely to listen to as another one does have close relations with who tim and that's been much of a concern for turkey's western allies, but i was always argued, it's important have relations with both sides and he has been positioned himself to be a mediator in this conflict. he's repeatedly said that i am ready. i'm here. i'm in the many a with a unique position, having good relations with both sides up up for now. putin has rebuffed this and in many ways it's seen as is by humiliating for a while, especially as earl one spoke with cute in the night before rush launched the invasion and he received no warning of that invasion which was halted turkey's diplomats be stranded in ukraine and that was seen very humiliating for, for one. but having said that, there is a possible dorm mediation. turkey claims that roger have agreed in principle that

the turkey could host of foreign minister era. meet me the meeting between the 2 countries, possibly next week, but no confirmation has been given on that date and time. during so far, turkey has shied away from sanctions. eas, turkey, turkey, likely to join other nato and western nations in bag backing sanctions against russia. who took, has been very outspoken about sanctions. they say that they don't work counterproductive in many ways, right? to self saying with anyone in the west to present it, we can still hope and some people are suspicious of talking to see itself in the back door. thank you, don with iraq. toki will dismiss that claim. but beyond that, even though turkey's resisting the sanctioned school and even closing his as base to russian play plays like with continued to provide weapons to your brain. and very importantly,

told charming russian missiles to talk very successful and also it's all important and continue to think losses. so in many ways this is seen as possibly the most toki is basically citing on time. thank you very much, dorian jones, forth in his temple, much like turkey. israel is also working for a diplomatic solution on saturday prime minister. and if talley bennett became the 1st world later to meet with vladimir potent, since the invasion began to surprise, mating was followed by talks with ukrainian president zalinski bennett, then travelled on to germany. it's the 2nd time this week. he's met with the german chancellor. after all, a shalt visited jerusalem on wednesday, bennet has offered to act as a mediator with israel, maintaining good relations with both russia and ukraine. club from wall, it's bringing data be political correspond benjamin alvarez group are ben, what more do you know about the meeting between chancellor sholtes and israel's

natalia bennett? we had a brief, a press release by the german government spokesperson. he said that both so prime minister bennett and german chancellor shoals met for 90 minutes. what they underlined is that they will do everything they can, that is in the strength and the war in ukraine as part as soon as possible. and that's all to what they're underlying, their commitment when they met in jerusalem earlier this week. why didn't bennett take the initiative to mediate in his complaints? is what is in a quite interesting position. so as you mentioned already, it has very good relationship with both moscow and also with keith. but it's a difficult the also situation for israel. we've seen that the, the, a protest in israel already asking the government to take a clear stand and condemn russia's invasion of ukraine. but there are 2 interests

here that the government has to keep an eye on. so one side is of course to present himself as part of the west and the lions, a close ally to the united states. but also of course, it has its own national security interest. and israel has a security military cooperation with russia in syria. so that's exactly why many and wise to land skills ukraine's president has asked a natalie bennett the prime minister of israel to act as and mediator. so for now, these talks, it will continue this rather surprise visit to moscow and to go live and thank you think have a political course pop respond on benjamin aller as crew about let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the conflict. several western media organizations say there is suspending reporting in russia with many journalists leaving the country. the decision comes on to the kremlin 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 of war. credit card giant mastercard, and visa se there's suspending operations in russia dealing the latest blow to the increasingly isolated countries in battled financial system. the move follows crushing economic sanctions imposed by the west in response to the invasion security forces in russia have detained more than a 1000 anti will protest as in demonstrations across the country. as according to an independent protest monitor, motion, police will that organizes and participants of illegal demonstrations with face changes. hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees have crossed into poland. many have ended up in the city of krakow, where they have found support and shelter. the city has set out facilities to provide child care and other help to get people on the fate. data bodies, max xanda, spoke to new arrivals. oh

a lot and they support the us and they are ready to help us to give a lotto for things for gospel free. but i feel myself better when i know that i am independent person. the attack on neighboring ukraine has brought upon a strong wave of solidarity with people all over poland, pitching and, and trying to help the just like here in cracow, the city of cracow always had ukrainian influence prior to the war. more than 100000 people of the crating descent lived here. and despite more and more people coming and no real long term planning and sight people here tell me they are committed to stand by their side. like those working at the youth center director barth warm caught. so rick wants to help children forget about the war. kids movies in ukrainian. irish start. good god, nathan will had you with the scroll. a few days ago they were at school are in

we can demonstrations have once again been taking place around the world. demonstrate has called for solidarity with ukraine condemning russia, president pohden and calling for an end to the wall. it appears we are having some trouble getting that pace for you. so we will move on to the next item and hope to bring that back for you. later in the program, 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 dawned. the letters in a russian war symbol represents victory. it appears on the front of lack of impotence tanks and other military vehicles deployed to your crime. kodiak shared the podium with the gold medalist ukrainian star india cove tune. with no end to

the war in sight, the number of refugees capes climbing. the un says the title figure, if people who fled ukraine has now topped one and a half 1000000, many of the refugees flaying would prefer to stay near by in surrounding countries such as poland, slovakia, or romania. but more and more are also looking for the east, the border cities of frankfort, oda, and germany, and soviets in poland, already have a very close partnership. within a few days, people there have put together a large support network for refugees. they w report, actual rival has more. oh, mike, frederick tries to keep track. no, you fooled so here are food and hygiene items 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 ukrainian border in a convoy this allan year, not period products for women, lots of diapers for the children. the response for children was really huge because children also suffer the most in war. baba price, bocce speaks from her own experience. equal mouse in my come by. the former yugoslavia early i experienced wore as a child on my family, lost everything we had nothing but 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 titania albrecht cannot sit around doing nothing the many people have wishes room, and since i have time at the moment, i am collecting everything and donating things that people need. but i would,

you mentioned vincent on be given hub across the odor 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. for a little 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

russian bombardment has already killed hundreds of civilians. a huge turnout at paris is plus delivery public demonstrators told d w, they want the west to step up support. this is a massive, massive injustice. and one of the worst thing that's happened in my locked almond, 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. fortune and non board of people. he wants to portray this war as if she, it's war afresh, but it's not, it's worth wouldn't include russian. people don't support him. heck, while most of the world has condemned putin, 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 defeat. yeah, yes, 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. you're watching data, but he needs his reminder of the top stories on the crisis. this allen, u. s. secretary of state antony blank and says, washington is working on a deal with poland to supply ukraine with fighter jets under the dale, the u. s. would replenish poland. stock of wool plain if war saw decides to send its soviet era aircraft to you crime. and the ukranian city of matter who paul is under the sage again, after an upgrade, saith fi was broken, renewed rush and shelling has halted a 2nd attempt to evacuate residence to safety,
