secretary of state as they blank and says the u. s. is in talks with poland to replenish it, stock of war plains. if warsaw decides to provide its own jets to its neighbor the un says one and a half 1000000 refugees have now fled ukraine, making it europe. the past is growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. we look at how some are getting help in poland. ah. i'm wearing boot camp. welcome to the program. it's the 11th day of russia's war in ukraine. russian troops are shelling cities across the country, including the besieged city of maria, paul, or to day a 2nd attempt to establish a humanitarian quarter to get residents out. failed when the you create, when the russians broke a ceasefire and resumed their assault on the city. these buses

ends up alicia women for a vacuum ease from the besieged city of maria pole. but for a 2nd day in a row, they remained empty. they were supposed to pick up civilians from erie or poll half way between the 2 cities. but ukrainian official said the convoy was unable to leave the city due to continued. shelling moves short off children, los global, or have children, boise from there wasn't evacuation attempt yesterday, but the fighting continued to was lewis wrote. so there was no way to safely get people out of the city from middle to me for that you need to understand the risks . the fighting opposes to a humanitarian convoy with the wonderful work. it's a dangerous undertaking, but the driver still hope they'll be another chance to rescue their fellow countrymen. i am not afraid anymore. there are many of us. we will find

a way through rooms. some 200000 civilians are currently trapped. and maria, pull the strategically important port city has been under heavy bombardment, water and electricity remain cut off, and food is running low. just outside keith, more missiles and artillery attacks. ukrainian officials say it's the same picture across the country, but ukraine's vanessia effort was also hit by missile strikes, prompting president zalinski to repeat his call for swift. international action with zachary glen introduced a no fly zone for all russian rockets for russian combination of the terrors. this introduced a humanitarian safety zone without rock heads without bombed by the apple pie. and while the land skis plea goes unanswered,

ukrainians are doing their best to flee the intense shelling when it's crossed. now to our correspondent conway was in capital. keith nick, good evening to you. let's start with the situation and maria pole where the cease fire hasn't broken yet again. what can you tell us? west increasingly desperate situation there for hundreds of thousands of people. this is a big city that isn't now surrounded from the north, from the east and west the sea to south. well, there's no ukraine help coming there. and there are russian forces in that sea of as of so this is desperate. this was always kind of clear from ukraine, would you that this would be the key city in that part of the country in the dumbass that this was a key ukrainian base, very close to those self proclaimed separatist areas and crucial for ukrainian morale that it be kept now with this is the 2nd attempt to try an organized circle . shantarian corridor get people out while the shelling stops and again list the ukranian side says this is down to russian shelling not allowing this to happen. this is a very old fashioned conflict. this is not a 21st century war in terms of technology being used. these are shells. these are

you artery. most of it inherited from the 195060 seventy's. it's very difficult to actually on the ground tell who shot. first. this been from all through the 8 year conflict and don bass, but it does elise from the ukrainian point of view, seem clear that it's the russians who are responsible for this. and they would say that actually it's in russia's interest to stoke this humanitarian situation, because that will put pressure on ukraine's directly like to present volume zalinski to makes on a co concessions. the russians they say, have already factored in this reputational damage to them. this damage to civilian populations, these am difficulties in these sufferings they're going through. so that is that is that the there can interpretation here just as i'm here give i can just hear a bang. the distance of we've been hearing those all day though seem to be anti aircraft. systems are basically catching and destroying incoming rockets. so this is a situation that is very, very tense. wherever you are in the country where i, let's pick up on vaudeville set. so it seems that ukraine still has some air

defense capabilities. you're back in cave, in the western part of the country. what are things like where you are ok of has yet to see the kind of destruction that had give the 2nd big city that is close. the russian border has where you've had lots and lots of residential buildings destroyed. am extraordinary damage to the city center into government buildings there and oh, almost near blockade. there are still some routes into hot give here in cave. it's more about tension, about anticipation, what's coming next. we've seen plenty of russian secret agents, so i will the greatest they are that were ready in place. it evolved to this conflict, to then emerge on the streets with weapons and try to attack police and other forces. we've seen a reports of attempts to take prison lensky life several. and now there is fighting about 25 kilometers away from where i am now in the western suburbs of k of where you see people left also without power, without water at trying desperately get away. and convoys of cities trying to get

out being shot at so this is a conflict that is very close. that is basically on the streets k of now give a capital of country that has been at war since 2014. but this is really the 1st time that conflict is now palpable. here in the center of ukraine's capital, you're describing us an incredible layer of events happening there. and in response, over the recent days, we've seen some also incredible pictures of men queuing up to volunteer for the ukranian army, hoping to slow rushes advance of your connects and stay with us. for a 2nd, nick, we want to have a look at a report about what's driving. some of those volunteers will come back in a 2nd. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower, and without support from nato hearing keith, they're waiting to sign up the crane armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort. north emmy awards the care which is my duty level. 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. an optimistic about victory. we know why we defined our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting. ah, 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 we'll, when it's that determination, that's helped inspire volunteers from much further afield to join the fight and crying mimic tree. lensky hearing is just very frustrating barbie, even though the country surround and everybody's just la, la galvan was looking for no illusions of honor romantic ideas of war. old, i'm going to be some hero will make a difference or any of the spot. this is what if you could die here?

yes, just really going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city, the appeal just outside keep. it looks likely to volunteer. his bravery will soon be put to the test to some amazing comments there from some of the people interviewed. nick, how important are these volunteers for the war effort and the ukranian army overseas? it shows that ukraine army has depths, and that it is able to put more force on the ground than what is currently being used at present. i think it was about morales for to the foreign volunteers assigned to ukraine, that ukraine is not being left alone with this, even though ukraine is outside of nato, even though you as present joe biden has with he said that the u. s. is not going to get directly involved on ukraine side against russia. i think the thing that ukraine really needs now, though, ah weapons are ammunitions. this is a key demand from ukraine, ukraine thing to western countries where democracy here we have a democratically elected government. and russia invaded us in the was claiming that

it was still open to negotiations and basically demanding regime change here in ukraine at its own terms. so ukraine desperate to get more in the way of supplies and particularly anti aircraft missiles, maybe more planes. we heard the plan maybe for a kind of swap that poland would send for soviet built planes fighter jets that the ukranian pilots are able to fly. and he returned the u. s. would restock poland with american built plains for now that doesn't seem to be happening too soon, but they're really saying if you're not going to close the skies above ukraine, we are really hurting hard civilians are dying in ever greater numbers and his situation where the russian arm he's actually doing pretty badly in hand to handle kind of ground fighting it's degrading forces. it really is the sense here that rushes going up, the ante in the sky, where it has that advantage and without support in terms of antiaircraft facilities and planes. ukraine really could be left, you know, to bleed her here and is going to struggle to stand up for it statehood if. if,

if that western health fails, come near connelly, they're forcing keith is always great to see you. and thanks for the report. as russia continues its assault on ukraine, the united states has indicated its looking into ways for poland to supply fighter jets to ukraine. u. s. secretary of state antony blanket, said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish it. stock of russian made jets if warsaw decides to send them to ukraine. pilots in the ukrainian air force are already trained to fly those russian aircraft. lincoln made those comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbor, moldova. we are, um, we're looking actively now. at the question of aeroplanes, the poland they provide to to ukraine, and looking at how we might be able to backfill, should pull and decide to produce those 2 hours of supply those plans. get more in this development from journalists: young paula scott:

he's in warsaw yon. thanks for joining us. what is weighing on the polish government in making this decision? what it looks like on one hand, the polish side really would like to send it. and we have indicators that it was kind of promised on certain level, as cynthia koreans know how to use these make 29 and airplanes. but at least i think, thinking twice the polar side, realised that sending pi digits is a different story than just sending equipment military equipment on the ground and place it somewhere on the board and somebody else is picking it up. if you send jets, then you have to start from a polish airport and you have to go into the war zone and just days ago. and also was also correcting ukrainian claims and statements that they would not only receive these jets, but also be allowed to operate 8 from polish airports. this was costly and clearly and denied as being fake news. right, is there

a risk then that this could be seen by putin as nato getting itself involved in the war and trigger an escalation? yeah, i think so. pulled has been urging more help it all the time. also more or less. so lisa military equipment, but they seem to look very closely where's the red line to get too much in wolf into the war and days ago already polish president, angie duda said that sending jeff would mean it that direct interference kind of entry into the war. at the beginning of the war between a natural member and russia, and he emphasized that poland and now 2 is not party in this conflict, at least in the military sense. so that's one side of poland, involvement in this conflict. the other is refugees. can you tell us more about poland, current assistance to those coming over it's border he, i would say there is a complete turnaround from polish, a position and to the bill. arrest crisis we've seen last year, which is actually

a little bit continuing here with migrants being sand bag at the time. now, this was not so much a difference and to the extent of people's willingness to have. we've seen this on the beller us aside as well. and adapt it now the whole country has turned and the borders are widely open right now. also for people of different color and origin will also are sometimes here occur on the ukrainian polish border. so. busy what we see is that poland is receiving more people in the few days than germany over the whole period during the 2015 crisis. and as far as i can see, they are not asking for help. and foreign minister ro, recently was asked whether they would ask for relocation or other assistance from other european countries, but he just did not answer to that. and i can cannot hear anything like this. all right, correspondent yon power card. thank you very much for that. the nation says more

than one and a half 1000000 people have fled ukraine. they describe accidents as quote, the fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since world war 2. so large number of ukrainian refugees have crossed into poland. many have found support and shelter in the city of krakow the city, a set of facilities to provide child care, and other help to get people on their feet. w's mac sander spoke to new arrivals. christina loves all animals, but her absent favorite are dogs. the 4 year old fled the war and ukraine with her mother, sophia, their journey ended here and the poles city of crocker. i had to leave because it was dangerous for my child until the war. i was very happy there. we have a lot of land there. i like to do our knee and i come back in like like a tourist not like

a refugee. so christina spends her days here at the doctor, henry jordan, you center. it has a special program for the new arrivals. you korean kids are looked after, they are served meals, and most of the kids can be cute, with polish people help us a lot and they support us and they are ready to help us to give a lot of things for gospel free. but i feel myself better when i know that i'm 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. just like here in cracow, the city of cracow always had ukrainian influence prior to the war, more than 100000 people of ukrainian 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 you center director barth. warm caught. so rick wants to help children forget about the war. kids movie ting, ukrainian irish start, kick out newton, what would you with the score with a few days ago, they were, it's school or in kindergarten with us on the now they're in a completely different country, surrounded by people who speak a different language than them. good, similar to what they found, a place where they can meet other children and also watch a movie in their native tongue. of this comes them down, it makes them happier. the commission up of acme, buddy, up to me. my staying happy may be easier for the kid. the parents, however, will have to start thinking about the future soon. be it housing jobs or where their kids go to school. i don't why, of land, but i have to because i have my child and i have to think about her as well. i plan only for one month. not more,

but mostly the situations like many other ukrainian refugees. though sophia petrov took hopes that the war will and soon that she and her daughter might be able to return to a free country. to w correspondent, taste about her is close the polish ukrainian border. she described from there the situation i make, she ride at the refugee center, just a few kilometers off the border and behind me you can see they are refugees being held by volunteers and they are a lot of volunteers here. they have come from everywhere. a busy day, a lot of polish people here, but also from france from domini, re spoken to people though i from canada, from india. and they come here and lend a hand so that people can get food, can get water, a warm blanket if they need it. so really on a physical level, everything is being done for them. but what people really need at the moment is some time to rest some time to process what they've seen. and i mean,

they have seen horrible things. this war is really going on. now it's raging and people come here with terrible experiences. and luckily at this refugee center, they can find a bit of rest. they have been bad that have been put up for them. we spoke to one woman, she came all the way from ki, if through live even now she's he been traveling for 3 days and she told us she had to wait at a bust up for 12 hours in the cold. so you can only imagine what these people have been through that seed of eustace at vall, to near the polish ukrainian border. turkey has been attempting diplomatic efforts to end the war. president rush of tar ardon has spoken by phone with his russian counterpart volume. your bruton urging him to agree to a cease fire and ukraine open humanitarian corridors and to come to a peace deal. you will turkey as close relations with both moscow and keith, but recently moved to limit the passage of russian warships in the black sea. longstanding, international agreement allows ankara to do so during war time. but it can, i can't prevent them from attorney. their home ports,

such as russia's black sea port early re spoke to w, corresponded dorian johnson is timble. he gave us his analysis was at stake for president rach up time air to one in this war. this is a nice mazda one because much of his foreign policy has been developed and having very close relations with both ukraine and russia. russia's a very key line, much of turkey's energy incorporating and syria and ukraine is one of turkey's most important partners for economics and defense contracts. and if i took these businesses up south of massive damage from this luncheon invasion. so for one who's trying to cover his economy heath is that this unfolding invasion of ukraine will deal most direct economy and he thinks he re election next year. so he's desperate with his home into it. let's have a look at some other developments in the conflict. not russian forces have reportedly wounded 5 people after opening fire at

a protest and the southern ukrainian city of navajo. the news agency, inter fax ukraine, said around 2000 protesters, took part in the rally against the invasion, waving flags and calling on russian troops to leave hope frances, as deplored when he calls the quote, river of blood and tears flowing in ukraine, following the russian evasions called for the creation of human humanitarian corridors for refugees and aid returned to negotiations. not the pontiff also said he was sending to cardinals to the country with 8 monday, when credit card giants, mastercard, and visa say they're suspending operations in russia. dealing the latest blow to the increasingly isolated countries. embattled financial system move follows crushing economic sanctions imposed by the west in response to the invasion security forces in russia had detained more than 4000 anti war protesters in

demonstrations across the country. that's according to an independent protest monitor question. police warned the organizers and participants of illegal demonstrations with face charges. protests against the russian vision have also taken place across europe and the united states. in spain, demonstrators took to the streets of barcelona. the swift city of geneva, crowd sang the craning national anthem. while in new york city, thousands gathered in time square to show support and demand more action from nato . and here in berlin, 100 gathered to show their steps. arity for the 2nd weekend in our reporter, matthew moore was at the protest in berlin. today he sent us this update. 10 days after the brutal war began, hundreds gathered here in the central leg to stand with ukraine,

nobel prize winners de jesus and artist joined with ukrainian cult full figures to demand the modern purchaser stop this war. the also called for no fly zone to be implemented over the war zone on people he had told me, it was important to come along to show the ukrainians that the world were still watching. the world they cared, and the ukrainian diaspora here that i spoke to said, how much strength the golf from seeing demonstrations like this one take place across europe. since the russian invasion began, dozens of babies have been born in ukraine. many of them have been delivered in hospital basements that are doubling as bomb shelters. new mothers are stuck inside with their babies and hospital staff, while outside bombs, keep on falling. a new born baby sleeps peacefully. but this is far from a peaceful situation. for these pregnant women and new mums,

the basement of this maternity hospital in ukraine's capital key has become their temporary home. of course, it's terrible. what is happening? well, even in real hell, i could never imagine something like that can happen in clinical century. i saw in women are given birth just in here in a basement, and they were all in blood because they had for example, c section and. and then again the alarm started and they need to go down. so basically i didn't even have time to lie off to the c section. it's terrible. it's terrible experiences with for staff to the situation is hard to manage. future's natural color with most of our team have not left the building since february. the 24th ripple about the 70 percent of staff stay here, permanently. me no more. no, we take turns that were robert digital to it's a similar situation across the country with well,

russian bonds fall on the city of cheney have babies are not waiting to be born. are you still from a gun? well, everything went well, but i want peace. silence. and com, recuperate over the last one was ocean. but with new life comes hope, even in a hospital bunker, which only a mom of course, i was worried it, but i'm a religious person and i believe that this is a whole a place. ukraine is a holy place as well with mother, mary is guarding us at god, gives strength to us and also to our army. god protects us staff for doing all they can to protect the women and babies here. but this is a war and nobody in ukraine, no matter how young is safe. the russian paralympics team have been given a hero's welcome back and moscow,

even though they didn't even compete. the team were kicked out of the beijing paralympics a day before they started long with belarus. paralympic officials initially said russia could compete as neutral following the invasion of ukraine. but they quickly reversed that decision and banned them altogether. the pressure from other countries. and let's get you a reminder of our top stories. the ukranian city of maria fall is again under siege after an agreed cease, fire broke down renewed russian. shelley has holiday 2nd attempts to evacuate residents to safety along a humanitarian quarter to corridor us secretary of state, antony lincoln says, washington is working on a deal with poland to supply ukraine with fighter jets. under the deal, the u. s. would replenish poland. stock of war planes. if warsaw decides to send its soviet era aircraft to ukraine. watch need of
