breakout in europe, but stops short of saying who's to blame and bracelets, cultural heritage under threat, ukrainian museums and galleries scramble to protect their collections. but the russian attack, as all ready cost irreversible damage. ah . hello everyone, i'm a little. all right, thank you so much for joining us. we start our coverage with the worsening humanitarian crisis in ukraine. an attempt to evacuate civilians from 5 ukrainian cities to day seems to have largely failed. moscow agreed to establish humanitarian corridors, but ukraine claims russian troops resumed shelling on the route leading away from

the city of my you, paul, or some residence of the northern city of sumi have reportedly managed to flee ukraine's government share to this video that you see right here which shows red cross buses evacuating people before nightfall. when the cease fire ends was to me as in heavy civilian casualties. local authorities say an air strike last night killed at least 21 people. while despite the increasing debt, told, the ukrainian military says that russia is seeing major setbacks and its advance has slowed significantly. oh, it's almost 2 weeks since russia evaded ukraine, but the capital still stands. oh, the anthem. no, a morning ritual wild rush and shelling continues to leave its scars on ukraine. like here in the key battleground of hawk eve. the

people fight on, ah, go home. they chant stomach just meters away from it armed adversaries. i don't know which any keep speaking from keith where he is about to remain ukrainian president flor to me as a landscape, said that piece was possible when you look mobile the mobile oriented booth. so we will talk. we will insist on negotiations until we find a way to tell our people, hello, this is how we will come to pc demo. don't. we'll keep central station b exodus to west in ukraine and beyond continues. levine, mass said the city is buckling under the pressure, struggling to feed the hundreds of 1000 seeking refuge and dealing with the hundreds of thousands more who passed through the city before traveling on 2 of the

countries. so give me then as of today, because levine has become the refuge fall 200000 people who moved to levine, hiding from bombardments and rocky strike sly. hopefully, i want to appeal to all international organizations to help what we need your support. we've what we need your direct participation here in levine, right? you will just, you would ukrainian officials speak of a slowing russian advance. but as a shelley continues on civilian casualties rise. the horrors of this war remained devastatingly clear. i was on a phenomena is at the front lines of the refugee crisis. she's in levine, which has become a hub for ukrainians, fleeing russian attacks. alexandra,

are refugees still pouring into levine, where you are and what are the sharing with you about their experiences with people that are arriving here. have been through a lot. they are telling us about the ways how they escape russian tillery assaults while they had to hide in their basements, and many of them are deeply traumatize. let's take tatiana, for example. i met for a year, she is so from harkey, even. we started talking in russian because she is from the russian speaking part of the country and she told me about her beautiful hometown that i also know. and then she burst into tears because she reminded herself that parts of the city now are turned into rubble. and she was warring thick about her mom who decided to stay there and she doesn't know whether her mom is okay or not. and if you can see, there are a lot of such stories that we are hearing can at. people want to share them because

they want the world to know what's happening here. do i mean you're living which house turned into a hub for people trying to make it to safety as best they can? can the city still handle the influx of refugees? while the more people arrive here, the more difficult it's gonna be according to the mayor, the city is being stretched to its limits already. and he also said to day that it, it could be that a near future, they will not be able to provide the refugees with a safe place to stay. of course, what people need is it's food warm clothes, medicines, but 1st and foremost they need a place to stay. there are staying in hotels, they are staying in apartments. but we met a number of people today who told that they don't have a place to stay. and that is one of the reasons why we are here at the railway station that you can hear. see behind me. there are still a lot of people trying to get to the polish boy. they're trying to get to pull into

other european countries to feel safe there. alexander, phenomenal reporting from levine in ukraine. i wanna thank you so much for your continued coverage and i'd like to take an hour to the ukrainian capital of keith to cara roodick. she's a member of the ukrainian parliament and leader of the liberal pro european hollows party cure a very warm welcome to the w news on d. 13 of this war. i just want to ask you, how are you coping? hello, thank you for having me. well, it's thirteen's day and our cities are still standing though. the whole world will saying that who will fail after 24 to 48 hours. so i'm like what? i am super devastated and hurt and by all the pain and suffering that they see where they're, if you, yourself, ling through key of when we are taking refugees from on the outskirts of key of

dead till we're bombarded by the russian missiles and bombs. i am super frustrated when we see children in bomb shelters, but i'm also motivated because i see my resistance team training because i see so many people in kiel in the whole country helping each other. and we're getting ready to give russian forces that are coming toward the capital. and we'll come here pretty soon. we are happy to give them a good fight because what they are trying to take from us, they will not be able to. we are preparing for a c. we are preparing for a fight. we are preparing for every kind of you then. however, there is one thing that we cannot help ourselves with. we cannot use our rifles for is the air force had x. and this is why we continue the asking for a no fly zone or anything in particular, similar like the no fly zone so we can protect ourselves and so that my country has

a chance to win this war. unfortunately, of course, that nato were says they will not be able to provide that, that no fly zone as a no go for nato. i want to refer to when the invasion a was launched by russia. you posted a photo that went viral. i want to pull that up and show it to our viewers. it's you in your apartment holding a kalashnikov, you explained how you never held a weapon in your hands before, but you were getting ready to defend your country. and obviously just hearing you speak right now, you're resolved to defend your country or you, are you ready to fight? i know it's almost a redundant question because you already outlined your resolve. oh yes, i'm ready to fight. i have been training along with my resistance team that we put together a day one of the war we. i have been training with them at 2 hours every day. so now i'm much better with the rifle than i was when this picture was taken. i'm the

training and i'm, we're being a part of their larger teams and we are getting ready to oppose russian troops to fight fresh and troops. if they come to the city. we know that the capital has been a major goal for our office and for put in personally. and this is why it will be a tough goal to protect it. and this is why we a thing here, men as well as women to, to be able to have all the hands that the have that good hair of who would bear arms to bear the arms and to be able to protect what is ours right now. what is the situation and key for right now? i mean, obviously we have seen some very worrying developments. so russia unleashing mass bombardments, in terms of the situation in and around keith, what can you tell us about that?

so in st. kia oh, we are doing. i would say normal except for the heavy bombarding that this happening. so it's up to 10 times when the sirens go on and you have to go to the bomb shelter 10 times a day and imagine it being like family with the children. so it's terrifying and devastating and, and at some point you feel frightened because you get used to it. this is the war thing you get used to, to bombard your seat being bombarded. and we are very worried about the outskirts of the city that where people have to leave their homes because because they just don't have homes anymore because they were destroyed and we are worried about them rushing to the surrounding the city. we know that they are trying to take on their entrances and exits to the city, and obviously our goal is not to let them do that. so this is how the fight happens

. we want to make sure that we are not on the seat and they are trying to circle the city and door their humanitarian catastrophe, as they have done and very well where children are dying of dehydration in 21st century. children are dying of dehydration in the european country. can you believe this? can you believe this is happening to us right now? so i will be begging, i will be asking. i will be persuading everybody who is in charge right now to give us the jets to give us the rockets to give us the miss else. anything so we can protect ourselves. so in 21st century children wouldn't cab to die of dehydration. before i let you go, i mean everyone, as you've outlined there, very stark terms is suffering incredibly on. this is almost ridiculous to ask you, but international women's day is today. what does it mean to be a woman in ukraine today?

it is. it's when, instead of flowers that you are supposed to be carrying today, you're carrying gun. but i am privileged to be carrying guns to day and stand shoulder to shoulder with the man of ukraine. you know, when put in, it was attempting to conquer. he only calculated men in his math, he didn't calculate that ukrainian women and the whole ukrainian nation will be sending up to him everybody their own way. but everybody strong as one. and this is why we're fighting so hard and this is why and 30 in the off war with the largest army in the world. we are feel standing and we will be standing and we will been kiera, roodick, member of the, your ukrainian parliament. thank you very much. wish you safety. thank you and glory, blue crane nato secretary general

young's thornburg warned that the ukraine crisis could spiral out of control his words if it spreads beyond the borders of ukraine speaking in latvia, mister suttonberg also said it appears. russian forces are deliberately targeting civilians as they try to flee the war. this is europe, sir foster's 3rd growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. there are very credible reports of civilians coming under fire asked. i tried to evacuate . targeting civilians is a war crime. and it's totally unacceptable. we need a real human italian corridors that are fully respected. yes, holberg, they're speaking moments ago. let's go to d. w. correspond, terry, shall. she covers nato. and the e. u. terry, the nato secretary general. yes. thornburg saying civilians are increasingly coming

under fire in ukraine. that is a very serious statement in a worrying development. that's right, layla and i think his, his starkest words were reminding the kremlin that this is a war crime. now we might also note that the international criminal court has already opened an investigation into potential war crimes being committed in the conflict in ukraine. and this was a reminder coming from the nato secretary general. and i'm told that that mister stilton berg was particularly disturbed by the images of civilians being shelled outside the city of urban. that's where we saw some of these humanitarian corridors come under fire. and also, if our viewers may forgive me this, this family who was killed as they tried to flee where you see, you see children lying dead as they tried to get out of the city of urban. and so this is just a reminder to the russian government that everyone is watching. everyone when sees this and an attempt to make them feel that they will be held accountable,

they will be held accountable. but does that mean that nato is prepared to change it? strategy, i mean, we just spoke to somebody from the ukranian parliament and she is almost begging for nato to impose a no fly zone over ukraine. you know, lately that we hear these voices imploring nato to impose a no fly zone every day. now since the shelling began, and this is just something that i'm told is not going to happen, that you would never get 30 allies to agree that this is the best course of action . and in fact, it's not because people are unmoved by what's happening there. it's because nato feels that this would actually increase the violence that it would be an escalation that in fact, then you would have nato and russia engaged in a direct war. and that this could possibly spread beyond the borders of ukraine and that more people would die. but i, i admit it's a heartbreaking, heartbreaking situation. and it's understandable why the people of ukraine continued to call for this answering conclusion. the european commission,

i understand just proposed a new plan to reduce its dependence on russian oil and gas. can you tell us more about that? that's right. in fact, it's happening just now as we speak, and this is something that, of course, has been in the works for a long time. europe has long known that it needs to cut its dependence on russian oil and gas. but now once again, president putin has, has taken action, which makes it all the more pressing they are saying that they could cut the dependency by as much as 2 thirds by the end of this year by diversifying supplies, relying more on renewables. and this is something that the you, you feels is very, very necessary to cut off pollutants source of income social's reporting from brussels. thank you, terry. want to say now, but the other developments in the conflict russian president vladimir putin has denied reports that conscripted soldiers are being forced to fight in ukraine. he

said the army only consists of professional soldiers and promised there would be no cause for reservists to join. shell says it will end all involvement in the russian gas and oil market. it will stop buying oil shut down service stations and discontinue aviation few operations. the turnaround comes a week after shell, drew heavy criticism for buying russian crude oil. and the japanese government has announced additional sanctions on russia and bell roofs. they include export bands on oil equipment and asset freezes on 20 individuals. japan is also repeated its claims in a territorial dispute with russia over the southern coral islands in the pacific. the islands are now under russian control, and he was president, has condemned the sanctions imposed on russia by countries around the world in a statement. because the canal appeared to defend moscow's position that russia was

forced to attack ukraine over a perceived security threat. but he said havana will continue to plead for a quote, serious constructive and realist solution to the conflict. tony's presentation thing has reportedly called for quote, maximum restraint in ukraine. mr. gee, was speaking, had a virtual summit with french president a menu where am i call? and german chancellor, awful state broadcaster cctv reported mr. g as saying that china has quote, was quote, rather pained to see the flames of war reignite in europe. it's one of the strongest statements to emerge from china after the russian invasion, while measuring has so far abstained from voting against russia at the u. n. and has refused to condemn it's attack. let's get you more on the china angola for that. i'd like to turn to our china and this clifford conan . thank you so much for being here, clifford. what role is china playing or not playing in this war?

i think little now am. china has been very much defined by what it isn't doing. rather, monitor is doing it's, it's been backing russia, it's taken a neutral stance, but it's, it's in all of its statements and refusing to condemn the invasion. indeed, and refusing to even calls an invasion by constantly just attacking the u. s. basically. it's, it's, it's more a question of what it's inactivity means and i think that's seen as being an almost enabler of the aggression in, into ukraine. another's talk of maybe china wanting to mediate, i don't know how many, how credible those suggestions are, but would it be a good broker in this, in this conflict? well, i'm just wondering how exactly china would mediation, because it seems to me that the 2 sides are actually fairly good at talking to themselves, talking to each other and it wouldn't be a question of just delivering messages. so what it could mean is more that, i mean, until now we've had all this talk about china and russia about the closeness there

and, but then today in this message, we saw how he was saying, you know, the tragedy of flames of war in europe. again, so perhaps there's just a sort of a very slight inkling that that the attitude might be changing. the attitude might be changing, but is china backing away from its alliance with the rush hour or is that a stretch? i think it's a stretch because the to them that putin and she are very, very close. and if you cast your mind back to the winter olympics, when they hailed a new era of cooperation and everything the we've seen, we've just seen that they really are too close. however, china's international standing has suffered, i think the for being seen as an enabler. what's happening in the ukraine in ukraine, and i think that's something that may be thinking that it, it needs to rectify. or it needs to bring it to be seen, at least to be taking part in what could be a solution that was but there are a lot of mixed signals coming from beijing. i mean it, what does that tell you?

it's ambivalence. yeah, i mean it's, it's kind of stuck on the, on the fence in a way because it has back to crushes so strongly. i think there's probably a certain surprise that how the west reacted. i think normally they would have expected europe in the us to, to react at different speeds if at all, and also been surprised at how the ukrainians have have fought back and how the invasion wasn't a quick, a quick invasion. i think there's credible intelligence that he possibly did know in advance of the invasion, but presumably he was. so the idea, she, this is, was so the idea that it would be a quick event and that you know, relatively painless, but now it shaping up into something with much broader geopolitical ramifications. and that's going to be problematic for china. in a few words. do you think that because of this war, europe might decide to take a more tougher stance on china? i do because i think this is basically called out china, and we now know where china stands on certain key issues. and i think that's going

to be hard to, to go back from writer. clifford coroner, aren't china, alice. so good to have you. thank you for insight. while since the start of the year of russia's invasion, rather, ukraine's museums galleries and cultural institutions have been scrambling to protect their collections, many of ship pieces abroad, but as becoming increasingly difficult. heavy shelling as already caused considerable damage. so museum workers are staying behind to save what's left. a nation's heritage packed up in boxes. the andre shipped it's kim national museum, and levine is ukraine's largest art museum. it stores have been closed since the russian invasion began. the museum already survived world war 2. but whether it will survive this one unscathed, is unclear. it's extensive collections are being packed away into the seller. it remained but the worker, he, you know,

it's so bitter for my soul is chablis. yes. sometimes tears are coming for your to reach that. i'm telling the truth is good because a lot of work has been put in here by our staff in boxes and it takes time energy. and when you do something good, you feel pleasure. liver. good, you to day you see empty walls, show your shores. this makes you feel better for you, the sad shapes. so sad user target boggled or trouble, you know, we didn't believe it till the last minute that this could happen. but if they messaged many of the cities sculptures have been carefully cloaked in foam wrap. maybe a futile attempt to protect them, but better than doing nothing at all. with gold, you regret not a linear muscle. we are well aware that we're not able to protect them from direct impact of abundance. but from any light damage that may occur from shelling it unless you're shock waves, postcards and small fragments or shrapnel about mercury,

we're just trying everything we can home through young muslim, empty walls at the museum in movies. as this new chapter of ukraine's history begins, hopefully and grief, our constant companions life or the winter paralympics and beijing ukraine has me to clean sweeps of the bias lawn events to sit 2nd in the metals table it enough, we took the gold medal in the standing middle distance event with her country women coming 2nd and 3rd. and it was a similar story in the men's vision, impaired race. ukraine claimed all 3 metals with vitaly. lucky and ankle bagging the gold, it means ukraine now have 6 gold medals. and 17. and the only behind host china in the standings or the world of sports is continuing to show solidarity

with ukraine after russia's invasion. at last night's english premier league football match between tottenham and everton. the stadium was lit up in the blue and yellow of the ukrainian flag minutes. applause was also held before the game kicked off. images of the premier leaves, football stands together, campaign have been going out on its world feed. in response china. causality of russia stopped showing matches from england probably in washington to reduce a recap of our only story from the crisis. ukraine has started evacuating civilians via humanitarian corridors. coordinated with russia, video appears to show buses leaving the north eastern city, assuming that keith is accused in russia, thrushes forces of breaking a cease fire agreement to let people out of valuable. you're watching. did every news live from berlin? you can also had a to our website or to our app. you can download that onto the play or on the app

ah, to the point of strong opinion, clear positions, international perspectives, humanitarian crisis in ukraine is intensifying food, hating rules are, and medicines are all it desperately short supply. still, russian forces continue that pounding of civilian targets. how much pain will the

people of ukraine face find out what's the point to look point dw. ah mm hm. spend to step up and say the truth. and i haven't met a girl who hasn't been trying to get something on campus. whether dust, carpooling, or something so much more serious, there's such a huge scale bar. it's everywhere. what we can do is to now appeal to everyone else to take responsibility. we give women a voice with we get the recognition. we deserve the oldest son with regard to thought had good time to stand out for one another and support each other. mika john kuhn,

just sit by and watch things to play. apathy is inexcusable. part or with beat out . and i think speak up my gender for we've become an issue now the international women's day on d, w. b. o, they begun, it's a military operation now though it's a massive onslaught on the well being. indeed, minds of countless innocent civilians, residential areas have been raised to the ground. many people killed in their own homes. families divided hundreds of thousands of mostly women and children. forced to leave the country. how many will never return, it's impossible to say. and the worst could still be yet to come. so on another special edition of to the point we asked hooton's war, no mercy, the civilians.
