outskirts of ki, if ukrainian president. so to miss zalinski says he's country will not forgive russia for the suffering this war is causing his part of his latest address. me near. but we will not forgive the shooting of unarmed people from the day be destruction of our infrastructure. nothing in for us that we won't forgive hundreds and hundreds of victims, thousands and thousands of sufferings. and god won't forgive me since she's not to day he bore not to morrow me. she'll never miss after me. call it in that address. soleski also spoke of a family killed by russian shelling. they were trying to escape the town of egypt. nick, give authority. say at least 8 civilians were killed as they tried to flee. a warning that this report contains distressing images. ah, this video catches the moment a mortar blast hits the town of a pin. people and

making a desperate dash to safety. taking only what they can carry, residents climb over a bombed out bridge, praying they make it out before the shelling returns. not everyone does it's risky to leave, but perhaps riskier to stay. the city's infrastructure has been decimated by days of fighting, leaving residents without hate electricity and water supplies, a running thin station in full and the resolve her love was to do it. the physical . if lou, any supply are no red, no milk, no eggs, no, nothing. and all their gems threes close to and thermal ukrainian, or socrates say the russian army has stepped off its shelling of residential areas . russian forces blew up the railway station here. so now ambulances and vans are

being used to evacuate people to me by keith crow. careful with that, with the russian assault, getting closer to a cave, it may not be long before they have to flee. once again, let's talk to nick connelly about that al correspondence in the ukrainian capital, nika, these humanitarian car doors. how viable, how safe, and how plausible are they? wolves, he sounds like a great idea, an option to give people who be living without power, without water, in some cases, and with scarce food, an option to get out. but as we've seen last few days, it's not working a miracle in the east. we've had 2 attempts down. both are basically been abandoned within hours of being announced, ukrainian side, accusing russia of continuing to fire in spite of its commitments. similar issues here close to keep it appeal, which is heard there. basically a western suburb of key about 25 clumps from i am now where families were killed to

say trying to get out a railway infrastructure destroys people having to get out in buses going on very dangerous roads. i think the ukrainians are increasingly coming to the point of view that they think this is russia negotiating bad faith trying to win time to continue it's offensive rather than some kind of commitment to give you cranes, population shouts get away from fighting. we've seen lots of civilian losses in place, like hardship where residential areas have been targeted. so a real sense of this conflict is turning or nasty. it's growing more dangerous civilians and it's increasingly being fought on the streets, ukraine, cities. what about in the capital int he, if way, you why? why here in downtown cave is you can see it's kind of eerily quiet. i think there are still lots people in the capital. everyone has left, but they're keeping a very low profile. you see cage, people, their windows looking kind of through pastor curtains trying to get a sense of what's going on. you see them going to get food occasionally. but i think most people have big supplies. the big thing here is the worried that there

is going to be attempt to kill ukraine's democratically elected president. him is lensky, get rid of its leadership. we heard calls from moscow. they're talking about demands, circle d notification. what that means. so basically russia saying it wants to decide who's in charge, hearing ukraine, irrespective of what ukrainians have elected in terms of representatives to the real fear that there'll be some kind of attempt to attack the government quarter. we're not far from where i am now. and basically i see that the big fear of being surrounded and supplies being cut for now there are still routes in and out from the south. south west. the situation isn't quite as bad as it is in some were like hot gifts, but it's more the tense tension and the nerves, the feeling that something homeless is, is on the cotton. during of a closer, nick, what about your safety? as a journalist, we've heard about report sofa attacks on media crews over the past few days. i think for now we're still the very privileged position compared to ordinary ukraine civilians are our kind of press bosses and our cars are all covered in science. thank press of the most part we get looked let through

a checkpoint without too much of an issue. but they're happy in these wearing reports from the west of the key and also from southern ukraine of jealous, seemingly having been targeted in spite to me because of having that cause marked as being for jealous. i think the ukranian side for it. so i definitely knows that having intentionally to here is something that they should welcome because it draws attention to the plight of ukrainian civilians. i think that's not the case for the russian army, but for now we feel like we can do our job. and i think definitely the detention should be on ukraine, civilians who don't have the kind of support the most intentional media would have him. he's been doing a great job over the past couple weeks for us. nick connelly are corresponded in care. thank you very much. as they say, west and ukraine has remained relatively safe so far with the heaviest fighting, concentrated in other parts of the country that ukraine's defense forces are preparing for a possible russian attack. locals are worried about what might happen if the war reaches their doorstep. he w alexander, phenomena reports ah,

a checkpoint on the outskirts of loose skin north western new queen, sasha, by rhoda, is one of the local fighters who have joined ukraine's defense forces. he tells me that morale among the troops remains high. despite the dire situation, the country laurels feed them up, but about the moment it is calm. here will suleima. we are preparing the defense of looks on the region with everything we have horrible were employed at the same time, were helping those who volunteered to join the army. i'm deployed to the front in the east and to defend our ukraine. you call that a little uncomfortable color you live still seems to go on here in western ukraine despite the heavy fighting that it's taking place in other parts of the country. and yet, residents tell us, they want to be ready for whatever might come next. at the beginning of its invasion, russia targeted and earn feels not far from the city. the military airport in loads with one of the 1st facilities hit by russian messiah in ukraine. since dan,

it's been relatively quiet here in the region, but people are scared that it's just a matter of time before the war comes here. oh, they seek comfort through prayers in the local church. the sermon that day urges the church goers to forgive those who have done them wrong. this is a truly christian message. father roman tells me, but one that it's so hard to follow right now. you will, i wish i had never seen that day was that i had died before. it's really hard to keep living outside the church valentina receives at blessing for a safe journey. she's not in good health and wants to leave for neighboring poland . it's alicia. it's so hard to leave, of course. yes,

heartily. my children are my grandchildren. here. she goes with a heavy heart. what seems to be hopeful? ukraine will prevail. she says. is a look at some other developments in the conflict. several nations are calling on interpol to suspend russia from the organization immediately. that's, according to the british, i'm secretary, the countries site, the threat to public safety post by russia's invasion of ukraine. the law enforcement body into poll is a network of 194 countries. you zealand has announced fast tracked legislation for expanded sanctions on russia. the new law will be the 1st of its kind for and said it will target companies or assets of people with economic importance to russia or associated with russia's invasion if you and the social media company talk is suspending. the posting of videos from russia is, comes after moscow, past the law introducing jail terms of up to 15 years for publishing what it calls

fake news about the army. tick tock says it needs to keep its employees safe. ukraine is taking russia to court over the war a 2 day hearing is getting underway at the international court of justice kit once the un body to hope the invasion in queues is moscow of attacking on false pretenses by alleging genocide into eastern regions of you credit credit present lot of mr. lansky tweeted his country's application to the court days after the invasion began. rulings issued by the court binding, but there are no means to enforce its decisions, but a decision is expected in the next days. and more on this. let's go over to our d. w, corresponded in brussels. bob visa, can you walk us through the specifics of this very interesting case. yes, the international court of justice is the court of united nations for a law suits amongst nations. amongst countries accused each other off the grave is

crimes are under international law in this case, genocide. now the ukraine and russia in 1948. those signed a convention and that they said that they would do not commit genocide and that they acknowledge that genocide is forbidden. so the court says there is a competency to, to have this trial in the hague. and what will happen now is that today ukraine will lay out its case. they will argue that russia is indiscriminately targeting civilians in whole regions, or that they are offensively sort of trying to eradicate the population of ukraine. and on the other side, tomorrow we will hear russia that will say yes, we accused of ukraine of having committed genocide in the eastern areas in donetta . but of course they have absolutely no approve for that. and ukraine,

on the other hand today will say we ask the court to refute fuse though, to refute those obligations because there is no proof that we never did that. so this is the legal play that the 2 sides are engaging in. and the russian side is sort of weakened because one of its main lawyers, french legal expert lay down and he's laid down his representation and said, i can no longer stand up here for a country that cynically does not acknowledge the international legal basis that we live on here and that sort of despises law and then sort of goes before the court and said the other side committed genocide, so they are weakened by this, but still they will be up there tomorrow and they will, are you there case? and barbara, the credit calls, it's evasion of military operations. you do not suffice ukraine. what we're kind of evidence is ukraine providing the counter that i mean that this is not

a military operation, but this is a flow on war. it can be seen bay bay, anybody who has eyes, and that holds true for the judges in the international court of justice and the, the discriminant. shelling of civilly in areas in many ukrainian cities has been, has really been open. and before everyone's eyes said, there is proof in there, large amounts of proof, of course, and did the other in the other accusation, of course, that ukraine has committed genocide, they say russia has to show proof. russia, of course, doesn't have proof whether they will come with sort of fake statements or so we don't know yet. we don't know how this will play out in the court. we'll watch it today. but of course, the aim of this is a fall of ukraine to d legitimate is president putin, to say, look at this, he is committing genocide and international court has says so. and the court can

then argue and, and does sort of try russia and say as stuff theirs don't do it, they won't bay it. but this is important in the way of sanctions and the international standing of russia on, in the world community. but barbara, we're being told that russia hasn't sent along a legal representative 1st of all, and the other thing is, these sorts of cases take usually years to, to come to any sort of conclusion. and what you can't trying to do is stop this war immediately. there is this sort of and this is what we're looking at here. there is something called an intermediate measure. and that is the adjuster can be done within a week or 2 weeks or so. i mean this, this can really, the court can really move very quickly on this. and it's sort of like it's sort of preliminary verdict. and i assume everyone assumes that this will happen in this case. so it's not slow moving, it's moving very quickly in this case because really what is happening here is

a war of aggression in front of everyone's eyes. and the accusation of genocide.
