[000:00:00;00] ah, this is it, every news life on berlin cor doors of conflict. ukraine rejects russia's proposal for civilian escape routes leading to russia and bella bruce thousandths, attempting to flee, or hoping for humanitarian course to safety. while those trapped in russian controlled areas display their defiance. and are met with also coming up courtroom battle keys asked the un top poor to order

a stop to russia invasion. but at the hearing, russia is a no show. and the un nuclear watchdog warns the clock is ticking on a potential nuclear disaster in ukraine. after communication was disrupted, with a power plant under russian control, russia says it's open to talks over say ah, hello everyone, i'm layla iraq. thank you so much for spending this part of your day with us. it is day 12 since russia launched its invasion of ukraine and the human toll is grave. ukraine has rejected a russian proposal to create humanitarian corridors, to enable civilians to escape cities under attack. all but 2 of the plant corridors

would lead to russia or it's allied bella roost. ukraine. government spokesperson called the proposal caught immoral and accused russia of shelling civilians during previous cease fires. while now, a ukrainian delegation has flown into bela bruce to take parts in the 3rd round of talks with russian representatives. since the invasion began, the topic of humanitarian corridors is expected to be discussed. again, on a turn out to a roman now gone to ranko from r d w. russia service for more on this a 3rd round of talks at roman another round of talks. what are they hoping to achieve that they haven't yet? oh, for ukraine of course. as you've said, and number one, our goal is to achieve some kind of a ceasefire. for those humanitarian corridors in 2 major ukrainian cities of the crate, the capital cave, and the 2nd largest city of ukraine,

hockey. i to let people out. those are cities, of course, of the situation in the 3rd and city of maria, but which is in the south of ukraine, which is surrounded by russian troops. is also very di and ukraine would like to, to achieve some kind of agreement with russia to let people from that city out as well. so exact, as you're saying, establishing humanitarian corridors to allow safe passage or for those fleeing the violence. any reason that this will be respected by russia because it already violated those, these fires 2 times already? well, it's the 3rd round of talks and we must be very skeptical about the outcome. because the, this, the 1st and the 2nd one failed. and obviously, maybe there is some pressure from the international community, which is not always obvious to ours, some, some western or even eastern politicians. let's think for example, that

a turkey is trying to negotiate as well. these rarely prime minister was in moscow . so there is something going on out we will see to day if they have succeeded in achieving at least some kind of a compromise. let's pick up on what you just refer to these 2 very different diplomatic efforts that are underway. one spearheaded by israel and the other by a turkey on thursday. i understand russian foreign minister sergey elaborate, and his ukrainian, a counterpart we'll meet in turkey for talks antalya i believe their 1st talk since the beginning of the invasion can turkey really mediate a potential ceasefire? well, i personally am skeptical about it, but still turkey has some chances because turkey has very good relations to russia . the turkish president, ridge up tape around has very good relations with president putin. so i think there is a chance there is

a chance and we should try to believe that maybe this will bring some kind of return, at least in the humanitarian crisis, which is unfolding in ukraine. i think maybe maybe if some international organizations like the red cross or like the or you see the organization for security and cooperation in europe. if they participate in the talks, which will be in the coming days and weeks may be then we will see some kind of success. so i am very cautiously optimistic while men are gone to ranko from r d w. russia service, sir. roman, thank you so much. all russian forces are continuing to attack cities across ukraine's. the south and east air strikes have been reported on the outskirts of keefe, a ukrainian army chief, has warned that russian troops are preparing to storm the capital. ah,

the ukrainian national anthem echoes across give oh, but just a few miles from the capital, people continued to seek safety from the ongoing russian assault. meanwhile, the mayor of crime, a tourist said 2 people were killed and 6 wounded, shot in missile strikes in the eastern ukrainian city. on monday rushes defense ministry released this footage purporting to show tanks advancing towards keith. but ukrainians are determined that won't be taken without a fight. volunteers are helping protect their capital. but there are no guarantees. it will be enough. as diplomatic efforts continue, ukrainian president volota muse, lensky remains defiant,

and his message to the world may never watch them all. we will not forgive the shooting of unarmed people the destruction of our infrastructure in we won't forgive the creation of hundreds and hundreds of victims the suffering of thousands and thousands of people. and god won't forgive, not today, not to morrow. never would me miss after you call it work. we'll go from a spokesperson for russia's defense ministry has announced a number of humanitarian corridors. unlike with those fleeing key of have been offered passage to neighboring fellow bruce, while those and hark eve in escape to russia itself. said nibbling yagni vaughan. this is an unacceptable option for opening humanitarian corridors. this will you not? sure people will not go from even call from diem or from bish garad from near keith to bell racing in order to then fly to russia. hopefully keep it or, or see school for that i to in house on the only major city captured by the

russians. people have displayed their defiant objection. ah, standing their ground even as the occupiers fire guns above their heads. ah, and we can take you now to the abuse. alexander of our nomine. she is in levine and western ukraine. alexander, we have been seeing very distressing heart breaking images of shattered civilian lives. what have you been saying? we are hearing a lot of her hot breaking stories from people who fled to the hell of hark, if, for example, or families who are trying to escape the country escaped to violence. and actually this is a very good place to be right now at the main railway station in this. and when we look around, it's very busy here. the line are very long lines of people waiting to get on a train to poland, to get to safety. as they told me,

a lot of them are from harkins and they have been waiting here for our this one woman told us, she's been here from the early morning trying to get on the train to poland. some of them have family, there are, some of them just want to get out and we see a lot of volunteers here, distributing hot tea and food and to some of them calling on on people, families with children under 2 years so they can get on the train 1st trying to catch a train to safety. alexandra, the russian invasion of prompting an exodus as can be seen behind you with a line of people there. you are in levine, which is located by the polish. where can you give us some context in terms of what the situation is with the along the border with poland? well as you can see here,

a lot of people want to to get out and the situation at the border. and it's like you can expect it to be, i was there on the week at the weekend and i saw a lot of families with small kids waiting to cross the border and threatening a, waiting to cross the border into poland at night. and we also saw their long lines of cars going on for many kilometers. so the situation there is still a very tens with people, not knowing how and when they will be able to cross the border. however, we also have to say that the most urgent that needs right now is to get those people out for now. trip to in cities such as mar, you pull in key of people trying to get out of those cities that are under siege by the russian troops. and very briefly, alexandra, you mentioned them right there. you know, the people who are staying,

who have no option, but to stay the internally displaced. what is their situation? ah, well, i think that the authorities in real life are really trying to get a good job to keep those people safe to, to keep them to give them a sort of a stay, a place to, to stay to, to keep them at fat. and also to keep them warm because it's very cold there, but of course they are confronted with a lot of people fleeing into the city of leave and the region. and it's very, very difficult task right now. i was on a, you have filed a report from north to western ukraine. i suggest we take a look at that and, and we continue our conversation right after that. a check point on the outskirts of lieut. skin northwestern ukraine. sasha baroda is one of the local fighters who have joined you queens defense forces. he tells me that morale among the troops remains high. despite the dire situation in the country,

little speed remembered about the moment. it is calm here of 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 volunteer to join the army and deploy to the front in the east and to defend our ukraine. you call that a board and casual where 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 irv hills not far from the city. the military airport in loads with one of the 1st facilities hit by russian messiah in ukraine. since stan, 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. ready oh, 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 just. 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 . dish solutions the so hard to leave. of course. yes, heartily. my children and my grandchildren. here you play. dish she goes with a heavy heart. what seems to be hopeful? ukraine will prevail. she says that report by alexander,

alexander still in levine. the civilian resolve on the part of ukrainians has been remarkable. a yes you are right, layla and i have to say that i was told to leon or to speak with those soldiers who used to be just 2 weeks ago. they used to have just normal jobs, and now they are ready to give their lives for their country. and, and i, i've been told by so many of them that they believe that ukraine will prevail. and they believe that the evil evil, as they call a russian russian troops here, new cray, that they cannot defeat the will of the people to defend their country. so it's, it's really impressive and, and almost so difficult to come to terms how their lives have change over the course of the last week that they have to, they had to give up their,

their normal lives. and they are now ready to protect their country before you are has been peaceful. do they feel where you were, that they could be next, that the war could be coming to western ukraine any time with what they do? definitely. i spoke with many of them here and leave, but also in lots and although we have to say that the situation here is relatively choir to we have now and then alarms going off at night. but nothing so far has happened here and, and the city has been spur to from, from attacks. but people are afraid are scared that it's just a matter of time that the war a will come here as well. and one of them, a priest actually told me that he believed stats put in a devil, and that he would, we'll just wait for people more people to come here together to attack their attack

them. and it just show you how afraid how, how fearful people are at the moment, even here in western ukraine. alexander phenomena reporting from levine, ukraine. alex, thank you. and earlier we spoke to maria sarah jenko, originally a resident of the besieged city of matthew polt. she's now left the city and is in western ukraine in the leaf. yeah, so investigation is a quieter base full. if we might say this horrible, these are a lot of people are trying to volunteer. for instance, yesterday we were calling are maybe hundreds of people who want to help with the community area and how to deliver it right here. and so are there are people who are we reading, camouflage, nash, or they are buying some medicines because they read the shortage of medicines in other parts of ukraine, specifically hemostatic or pain killers. and also, you know,

people are trying to help whenever they want her and whenever they can. for example, yesterday i was calling maybe 1565 people who are approaching the biggest humanitarian, the center of the house in the beef. and a lot of how does come in from other countries, so we are trying to transfer it all the help right to key of to hark it to the cities who can receive the help unlikely. mary paul is not one of the seated who can actually get a minute there and help while ukrainians attempting to flee cities under russian fire face immense danger. on sunday, a whole family was among 8 people who were killed as they tried to escape the town of europe in near keefe, according to ukrainian authorities, almost 2000 people were evacuated from european amid heavy bombing. and i want to warn you,

our next report contains distressing images. this video captures 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 there is no longer stability, physically, to lose any supply. ah no read no milk, no eggs, no, nothing. and all the gems threes close to thermal

ukrainian or authorities say the russian army has stepped up its shelling of residential areas. russian forces blew up the railway station here. so now ambulances and vans and being used to evacuate people to me by key. yes. with that, with the russian assault, getting close to cave, it may not be long before they have to flee once again. and how can people get out as bombs fall all around them or russia? now several local cease fires today that would open up humanitarian corridors, but as we've been reporting, it might be too good to be true. let's get a closer look now at all this would use william craft william. it's right. there does seem to be some irony here in russian forces that have been firing up civilians now saying they are going to be the ones to protect them. and let's look at what these so called humanitarian quarters look like that. the russian military announced today they've said they're going to come out of 4 cities,

the capital of keys, the 2nd largest city. hi keith, maria. paula, we've been hearing is completely surrounded, besieged, cut off from the rest of the country. and the city of sue me now from cave, they're saying they would take ukrainian civilians into bellows into the city of homo, and from hockey and sue me to the russian city of belgrade. and from here, maria po, just across the border into rust, off on, done. now, you might be wondering why would ukrainian civilians bee put their fates into the hands of russian soldiers and be brought to fates on certain in russia and bellow roots, which are enemies of ukraine right now. and if you're wondering that you're not alone, ukraine's government has called this announcement immoral french president emanuel mac phone said it's cynical and hypocritical, especially in light of 2 attempts over the weekend to get civilians out of maria

poll. both fail due to suspected russian attacks breaking those local cease fires. now these cities are major population centers and they've been under heavy bombardment for days. we can see on our next map, when we overlay where the cities are, where the fighting is. you can see it might not look like things have changed much in the last few days, but that's because military analysts say a russian forces are regrouping. they're getting ready for renewed assault on key. if you could see here they're moving in both from the north coming around from the west and also coming across the east trying to surround that city. we've heard of course, maria poll is completely cut off, besieged by sit by russian forces on all sides. heavy bombardment in high cave, so it is very, very heavy fighting, even as ukraine forces have reportedly been able to beat back some of the advances and are still challenging russia for control of the aerospace now regardless of how these humanitarian quarters worked out, if they hold at all. busy how successful they might be if anybody even takes them

up on that offer the overall picture. as you can see, he remains one of sheer terror and all out war. and remember, it is still rather unclear what vladimir putin's ultimate end game is. why am thank you so much? let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the conflict, the canadian prime minister justin trudeau says his country will impose new sanctions against russia. he made the announcement of a joint press conference with his u. k. and dutch counterparts, while on a visit to britain, mister trudeau says the measures were target 10 individuals including senior government officials, oligarchy, and supporters of the russian leadership and u, a secretary of state antony blinkin. as reassured lithuania, it will receive protection from the nato military alliance. lithuania and the other baltic states of estonia and loc via are increasingly on edge following russia's

invasion of ukraine. mister blake, his visit to the nato members is a meant as an inch or reassurance of their security. russia has back the un nuclear watchdogs plan to set up a 3 way meeting with ukraine, aimed at ensuring the safety of ukraine's nuclear power plants or russia. as agreed to the talks in principle, but not to the suggest location. at chernobyl. last week, a building at ukraine's biggest nuclear facilities caught fire. after russia launched an attack on the premises on russian forces, it now control the plant with ukrainian staff, working under their orders and the director of the international atomic energy agency of l. grossi stressed the urgency of holding talks. there is no way i say i said to day a week, we should not be losing time almost every day. there is

a new episode. the episode last friday on the as up, what was it? nuclear power plant was extreme perhaps, but there are some other episodes which indicate that we need to have an agree clear their framework or what he's supposed to be to be them. while the european union says some 5000000 people could flee the war in ukraine. if the russian invasion continues the box, tom diplomat, joseph brown, has called for more funds to be used to help refugees. the u. n. has called this the fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since the 2nd world war. on more than 1500000 people have already left ukraine. most of them have entered neighboring poland. a small arrival hub has formed here in front of the former shopping center in the polish town of cham marshall. these volunteers are welcoming ukrainian refugees with warm drinks, food, water,

and an array of donations. many of the ukrainians arriving here are traumatized. having witnessed the war 1st hand or law all mojo has villi, they bombed our house and we were practically left homeless. now live, so we're calistoga, we came here to get help for my. my husband stayed in ukraine to fight frost. so grey, you knew that i thought i came here with my daughter to keep yourself safe. always go to go with bria kelly. later we will return having the vinyl lost or brutal to them. while inside the shopping center, people can rest warm up and decide what they want to do. next. some have relatives in poland and other countries bordering ukraine. free bosses wait outside to take them to various destinations across europe. but many want to stay close by

. they live in fear for those who have been left behind and ukraine, and heard the war, will soon be over. i am feeling bad. i am so sad. i need my family, my father and my dad. are they still in ukraine? yes. my grand mangarin baron. my mom. my sister's ale lay, i love my pantry and i went so go back and sir, i went to bed. war, i need to stop. we need to stop this war ever since the war began, thousands have crossed the border from ukraine into poland. the un estimates that

up to 4000000 people could leave ukraine as a result of the ongoing war. he wants to do that. we knew as a recap of the main stories from the crisis and ukraine. ukraine has rejected original proposal to create humanitarian corridors which lead to russia and its allies, balderas, keeps people should be able to escape to ukrainian territory. thank you so much for making this part of your day. we'll be back in
