[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is debbie news live from berlin, maria paul, still under siege. despite another promise cease, fire renewed russian. shelling holds a 2nd attempt to evacuate civilians from the besieged. city officials had begun efforts to move people to safety along the humanitarian quarter. the u. s. eyes a deal to supply fighter jets to ukraine, secretary of state, and they blank him, says the u. s. as in talks with poland to replenish stock for plains. if warsaw

decides to provide its own jets to its neighbors. and the un says one and a half 1000000 refugees and now fled ukraine, making it europe fastest growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. we look at how some are going to help and hope and with fighting, raging outside inside ukraine. hospitals, children keep getting born despite the russian invasion. new mothers hunker down with their new borns, as maternity wards, double as bomb shelters. ah, i'm william good craft, welcome to the program. the 11th day of russia's war in ukraine, russian troops are showing cities across the country, including the besieged city of maria pal, where to day a 2nd attempt to establish a humanitarian corridor to get residents out failed, and the russians broke a cease fire and resumed their assault on the city,

these buses ends up felicia, women for a vacuum ease from the besieged city of maria pole. but for a 2nd day in a row, they remain empty. they were supposed to pick up civilians from maria poll, half way between the 2 cities. but ukrainian officials said the convoy was unable to leave the city due to continued shelling, moved short off children, bullets, gro bowler of trouble. there was an evacuation attempt yesterday, but the fighting continued him was louis to rotan for you. so there was no way to safely get people out of the city fun little to me for that is over also. which of you need to understand the risks the fighting poses to humanitarian convoys to the one that's a will were it's a dangerous undertaking, but the driver still hope they'll be another chance to rescue their fellow countrymen. proven wilson, i'm not afraid any more. there are many of us. we will find

a way through our 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 he frames when you see effort was also hit by missile strikes, prompting president zalinski to repeat his call for swift international action that really glad she introduced a no fly zone for all russian rocket. so from russian combat aviation for the terrorists introduce a humanitarian safety's own without rockets without both of them. and while the landscape plea goes unanswered,

ukrainians are doing their best to flee. the intense shelling won't cross now to our corresponding economy. who's in the capital? keith? nick, good evening to you. let's start with a situation in maria pole where the ceasefire hasn't broken yet again. what can you tell us? was increasingly desperate situation there for hundreds of thousands of people. this is a big city that is now surrounded from the north, from the east, from the west. missy to southwell has no, you're going to help coming there. and there are russian forces in that see of as of so this is desperate. this was always kind of clear from the ukraine, put you that this would be the key city in that part of the country in the dumbass that this is a key ukrainian base, very close to those self proclaimed separatist areas. and crucial for ukraine morale that it be kept. now we have, this is the 2nd attempt to try and organize cycle shantarian corridor get people out while the shilling stops. and again, at least 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. visa shells. these are, you are to re, most of it inherited from the 195060 seventy's. it's very difficult to actually on the ground tell who shot 1st. this been from all through the 8 year conflict and don bass. but it does release from the ukrainian point of view. im clear that its 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 your grains democratically elected president william zalinski to makes on accounting concessions. the russians they say, have already factored in this reputational damage to them. this damage to civilian populations, these difficulties in these sufferings, they're going through. so that is that is the, the there can interpretation here just as i'm here and see if i can just hear a bang in the distance we've been hearing those all day. those 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 that hill 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 or key of has yet to see the kind of destruction that crack if the 2nd biggest city that is closed, the russian border has where you've had lots and lots of residential buildings destroyed. am extraordinary damage to the city center and to government buildings there. and oh, almost near blockade. there are still some roots into hot give here in case it's more about tension, about anticipation of what's coming next. we've seen plenty of russian secret agents who i will decrease. they are that were ready in place in advance of this conflict, to then emerge on the streets with weapons and tried to attack police and other forces. we have seen 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 cave, where you see people left also without power,

without water trying desperately get away. and convoys of sooty is trying to get out being shot at so this is a conflict that he's 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. so if you're connect 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. here and keep their 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 level. i won't be useful if i want to help you. i want to protect it. i want to fight back like that. i want my family to return to ukraine as soon as possible, and i will do my best of the volunteers stalking up to the battle ahead. an optimistic about victory. but we know why we defend 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 try to mimic tree and lensky here for is just back from things already even though the country surround and everybody's just lot, isiah. galvan was very wonderful, no illusions look on a romantic ideas of war. old. i'm going to be some hero will make a difference or any of the spots this water. if you could die here,

yes, really going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city, the appeal just outside keith. it looks likely the 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 those about morales are 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, all weapons are ammunitions. this is a key good 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 may be more planes. we heard the plan may be for a kind of swap that poland would send back for soviet built planes, fighter jets that the ukranian pilots are able to fly. and in return the u. s. would restart 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 army is actually doing pretty badly in hand to handle kind of ground fighting. it's the grading forces. it really does the sense here that rushes going up, the ante in the sky where it has that advantage and without support in terms of anti aircraft facilities and planes. ukraine really could be left, you know, to bleed here and is going to struggle to stand up for it statehood if. if,

if that western health fails, come in. connelly, their force in cave is always great to see you. and thanks for the report. as russia continues to assault on ukraine, the united states has indicated it's looking for ways for poland, a supply fighter jets to ukraine, u. s. secretary state as me, blank and 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 you. great pilots in the ukraine air force are already trained to fly those russian aircraft. lincoln made the comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbor, moldova, we are on 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 are 2 of those of supply. those plans. get more in this development from journalists young polka. 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 polar side really would like to send it and we have indicators that it was kind of promised on certain level as since the ukrainians know how to use these make 29 and airplanes. but at least i think, thinking twice the polish sides, 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 bold has been urging more help at all the time. also more or less 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 position and to the bill. arrest crisis we've seen last year, which is actually

a little bit continuing here with migrants being sent back 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 bill or us side 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 what we see is that poland is receiving more people in a 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 i nation says more

than a 1000000 and a half people have fled ukraine, described exodus as the fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since world war 2 . the largest number of ukrainian refugees has crossed into poland. many have found support and shelter in the city of krakow. the city has set up facilities to provide child care and other help to get people on their feet. he w's max xander, spoke to some new arrivals. christina lives 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 at the polls city of crocker. i had to leave because it was dangerous for my child until the war. i was very heavy. there we haven't. i had a lot of glad i like to journey and i might come back of 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. ukrainian 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 and 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 warming code. so rick wants to help children forget about the war. kids movie to ukrainian are as start good. god need them. what to do with the school with a few days ago they were at school or in kindergarten on that. now they're in a completely different country, surrounded by people who speak a different language than dumping. similar but they found a place where they can meet other children and also watch a movie in their native tongue. but what this comes them down. it makes them happier, the commission up of me, but he up to him. he's been staying happy. may be easier for the kid. the parents, however, will have to start thinking about the future. soon. i be a housing jobs for where their kids go to school. i don't wanna land, but i have to because i have my child and i have to think about her as well. i've been 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. dozens of babies have been born since the invasion began in ukraine. many of them have been delivered in hospital basements that are doubling up as bomb shelters. the mothers are stuck inside with their babies and hospital staff, while outside bombs continue to fall. a new born baby sleeps peacefully. but this is far from a peaceful situation. for these pregnant women and new mums, the basement, at 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 adjusting 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 walk 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 cool with most of our team have not left the building since february. the 24th ripple about the 70 percent of staff stay here permanently in a more no, we take turns that were robert digital to it's a similar situation across the country green, while russian bombs fall on the city of cheney. his babies are not waiting to be borne. arms still come, come to will. everything went well, but i want peace was silence and calm with corporate woodland husband was foolish.

but with new life comes hope. even in a hospital bunker. charlie a mamma. of course i was worried it, i'm a religious person and i believe that this is a whole place. ukraine is a holy place as well. with mother, mary is guarding us that god gives strength to us and also to our army. god protects us. star 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 to have a look at some other developments in the conflict. the nation's nuclear watchdog says it's deeply concerned that communications have been disrupted, seized new ukrainian nuclear power plant. russian soldiers took this felicia facility last week after shelling it and starting a fire. and i've turned off it's internet and telephone lines. the agency says

reliable communications are key to it. safety frances, as deplored when he calls the river of blood and hears flowing in ukraine, following the russian invasion. he called to the creation of humanitarian corridors for refugees and returns negotiations. the pontiff also said he was sending to cardinals to the country with a load, you know, be, that's you. and immediate russian forces have reportedly wounded 5 people after opening fire at a protest in the southern ukrainian city of norfolk, i hope the news agency intersects ukraine's head around 2000 protesters took part in the rally against the invasion, waiting flagged and calling on russian troops. to leave security forces in russia to take more than 4000 anti war protesters in demonstrations across the country. that's according to an independent protest monitor. russian police warned

that organizers and participants and illegal demonstrations would face charges. protests against the russian invasion have also taken place across europe and the united states in spain, demonstrators took to the streets of barcelona, and in the city of geneva, a crowd sang the ukrainian national anthem. while in new york city, thousands gathered in time square to support and demand more action from nato. and then here in berlin, hundreds gathered to show their solidarity for the 2nd weekend in a row. dw reporter matthew moore was at 2 days, protest incentives visiting 10 days after this brutal war began, hundreds gathered here in the center of bal leg to stand with ukraine, nobel prize winners. d j's and artists joined with ukrainian cult full figures to demand that largely a person stops this war. the also called for a no fly zone to be implemented over the war zone on people he had told me,

it was important to come along to sure the ukrainians that the world was still watching. the world though cared on the ukrainian diaspora. he had, i spoke to said, how much strength the gulf from seeing demonstrations like this one take place across europe. here in berlin, showing solidarity with ukraine is taking many forms. it's including the cultural world. the berlin state opera held a benefit concert this weekend, conductor daniel bind by him, said he wanted to fight prejudice against people on both sides of the war. that's the business is to him. the concert began with a minute of silence to remember the victims of the war a moving moment in the sold out berlin state opera. the opening also had symbolic power. as the orchestra enquire, performed the ukrainian national anthem. the song was adopted in 1991. when ukraine gained independence,

ah, with a concert for peace, the state oper relied on the power of music, instead of words, as a sign of solidarity with ukraine, but also to connect people, russians and ukrainians. conductor daniel baron, born, has family members from both countries. he warned against prejudice against all russian citizens the politic mission of the allowed indirectly. so we must condemn this policy loudly and clearly and distance ourselves from it. i heck, yeah, but we must not allow which hunt on russians and their culture here for the 2 lesson wound up bands and boycotts have the worst associations for me or other students that associate among the guests were german chancellor,

olaf schultz and european central bank president christine le, guard the e c. b was a sponsor of the event. the bank also promised to donate money for humanitarian aid . the concert ended with beethoven's 3rd symphony eroica. another moving moment for the audience is thank us. i think there is also very beautiful music by russian composers, and we should always be aware of that level of nothing. you know, we listen to wonderful music and over there, people are dying now. it's very sad of info. what i can certainly do is show that we support the people and we are simply there for them. for the mens ah, ah. now despite or maybe because of the bombs falling in ukraine,

there are moments of humanity and sometimes in the least likely of places. one couple who have been together for 20 years decided it was time to get married. they said the russian invasion made them reconsider their attitudes and tie the knot. lasha and valeri are both part of the territorial defense forces. they exchanged rings and a military checkpoint. when we loaded on my little, it's loaded home with his reminder of our top stories, ukrainian city. if our yo pulse is again under siege after an agreed cease, fire was broken, renewed russian. shelley has halted a 2nd attempt to evacuate residents to safety along a humanitarian quarter. or you a secretary of state antony blank and 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 plains, if warsaw decides to send its own soviet era aircraft to you. prank security forces in russia have the tain,

more than 4000 an anti war protesters in demonstrations across the country. cody, nearly 2000 in moscow. as according to an independent monitoring group, russian police warned that organizers and participants of illegal demonstrations would face charges. you're watching. the w news live from berlin will of course, have much more few with top of the hour time william blue cross stay with us. with ah, this show the world russia invasion of ukraine, a historical chinese lion here we will not quit our resistance. we will defend our country with russia to walmart,

oh, that's good to go. it's just like was chinese food? that's a measure of where i am, with your minds me a co after indicates a living in germany. chinese food is one of the things i missed the most. but by taking a step back, i see thing a little differently. now, minute foot processing regulations that exist the other part of the world haven't been implemented in china that leave a lot of chinese april wondering if their food safety. but if people have arrived to learn, if that is, this is the job of journalism how i see it. and that's why i love my job. because i tried to do exactly this every day. my name is adding to and i work at d, w. and some are driven by merciless read, others pushing the destruction gauge,
