ah ah ah, this is news line from berlin desperate for safe passage, ukrainians trapped in the besieged city of so we have one day to leave after russia agreed to receive fire. red cross must take some residence away while the bombardment is put on pause. but the evacuation of other cities fails to materialize as fighting starts up again on the escape routes. also coming up the united states bands, russian oil imports, president joe says his country won't subsidize russia's war on ukraine. but europe

remains dependent on moscow's gas plus leaders, chief accuses rush of sabotaging evacuation efforts. he says there is evidence, rush and forces are deliberately targeting civilians. they try to flee the conflict and women in the war so many have led their homes and left loved ones behind, but they're doing all they can to support soldiers on the front line. ah. hello everyone, i'm layla. thank you so much for joining us. while 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 mar, you pull some at a residence of the northern city of sumi, have reportedly managed to flee ukraine's government share. this video that you see right here which shows red cross buses evacuating people before nightfall when the ceasefire, as was to me as in heavy civilian casualties. local authority, st airstrike, last night called at least 21 people. while despite the increasing death, told, the ukrainian military says that russia is seeing major setbacks and its advance has slowed significantly. ah, it's almost 2 weeks since russia invaded ukraine. but the capital still stands the anthem. now a morning ritual, wild russian shelling continues to leave its scars on you crane. like here, it may keep battle ground of hawk eve. the people fight on,

ah, go home. they chant standing just meters away from it armed adversaries. i don't know which of me keep speaking from keith where he is about to remain ukrainian, president flooded me as the 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 or not. this is how we will come to peacefully demo. don't . we'll keep central station b exodus to west in ukraine and beyond continues. levine mer 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. certainly then as of today, because levine has become the refuge fall 200000 people who moved to levine, hiding from bombardments and rocky strikes line hops. 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 the shelling continues and civilian casualties rise, the horrors of this war we ming devastatingly clear while just moments ago, u. s. president, your buying has announced a ban on imports of russian oil into the country. he said,

americans don't want to subsidize vladimir boons war in ukraine. despite rising cost at the gas station take lesson. to day am announcing, the early stage is targeting the main artery of russians. economy were banning all in ports of russian oil and gas in energy. emmys, rushing oil no longer be accessible. u. s. porch to the american people will deal another powerful blow to put warmish. this is a move that has strong bipartisan support. congress and i believe in the country. that was the president. so job i'm speaking a moments ago. let's go to dubious corresponding, so carolina to more, she is in washington to find out what impact this band will have. first of all occurring to walk us through this ban. this fan means a lay lab that the u. s. is trying to, we can russia even more. we heard president biden saying that he wants to keep pressure on president putin and his war machine,

and that he does not want to subsidize this war. his war em oil. a reminder, oil and gas exports are the backbone of russia's economy and the revenue is half of the budget, the kremlin. it has a so this would be very painful for russia. and it is actually the money that they need to keep this war alive. and that is what the united states is trying to avoid . the united states and its allies in europe. they have already imposed the wave of sanctions against russia during the past days. but until now they avoid a targeting. and this important part of the got a gas and oil sector out of fear that this would, of course, as skyrocket, the energy prices worldwide. but this move potentially will push a prices at the pump. how does he intend to couch that to rise in prizes?

president biden, i'm already said a couple of days ago that he at diaz and, and its allies that they have agreed to release $60000000.00 barrels of oil from their reserves in order to reduce the prices for the consumers. but also it's important to note layla that the united states also produces oil and b, as is actually the world's biggest, all producer. but it's still imports millions of barrels each day because because in this country, consumers need more than the all they produce. so the united states gets most of its crude imports, also from canada and mexico, saudi arabia and russian oil makes only a small portion of the crude that the us imports roughly a 3 per cent. so he will compensate in a way bad that the, that the pain, the impact that this is going to have in the years is not as, as big as, as in europe, for example, not as big as in europe. but nonetheless,

years delegation met with venezuelan government officials over the weekend, and apparently they did discuss energy supplies. so i'm just wondering, wondering if it really happens to be part of the new energy policy of the us. how comfortable are americans with this? americans are going to care about the price they will have to pay. how much are they going to pay at the pam? are they still able to use their $2.00 or 3 cars, or do they have to keep using only one car and the citizens? the consumers will guide themselves on that. the political level is different. a if the white house decides to make business with venezuela, saudi arabia that is going to put the administration in a different situation. but at the end, it is going to be a lose lose situation. layla because the big question is, is it really different to buy oil from venezuela and from an autocrat called maduro

than buying it from an autocrat called a potent m. that is going to be the political decision about the consumers out. we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll be, we'll be worried about how much they're gonna pay for gasoline to couch more reporting from washington on the united states banning russian oil imports. thank you. made a secretary general, your strong berg has warned that the ukraine crisis could spiral out of control if it spreads beyond the borders of ukraine. speaking a lot via mister suttonberg also said it appears russian forces are deliberately targeting civilians as they try to flee the conflict ticklish. this is europe solstice, the growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. there are very credible reports of civilians coming under. foster 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. the nato secretary general speaking there a little while ago did every correspond, terry show is covering the story for you. terry. we heard their benito section saying civilians increasingly are coming under fire in ukraine. that is a very worrying development. that's right. and it's something layla that those of us following the crisis on social media have of course seen these images of civilians cowering under bridges trying to make it out of the cities that are being besieged by the russian assault. and then being fired on as they were told that these were safe evacuation routes. and this is something that i also was struck by secretary general stilton berg saying that this should be reminded is

a war crime. and he, of course, is speaking directly to the kremlin, as it obviously purposely is targeting civilians. we should also note that the international criminal court in the hague has already opened an investigation into possible war crimes being committed in ukraine. so this is something that we have been seeing in recent days, but i'm told that secretary general stilton burge was particularly disturbed by these reports of civilians being shelled in urban. that's a city just north of ki iv. and of course we, we saw these very, very disturbing pictures of a family killed as they were trying to flee just in recent days. layla. so nato secretary and nato secretary general, yes, told burger, deeply disturbed by what's unfolding in ukraine. but will that change the course and the strategy of nato at the moment? as i told you before, i mean we've, we spoken to a ukrainian a member of parliament and she was imploring nato to introduce secure a no fly zone over the country. yes,

we've heard these voices coming from inside ukraine now. now for many days, close our skies. they say i've been at demonstrations both of the last 2 weekends where people are absolutely pleading, as you say, for nato to stop the russian assault from the sky. here's the thing, nato doesn't think that would save lives. it's not that leaders, including stilton, burn himself, are not moved by these, these please. and he has said this is a very painful decision. but nato simply thinks that getting into a war with russia, which it would inevitably have to do if russian planes flew into a no fly zone would, would kill more ukrainians and then would spread the war beyond ukraine. and in fact than would be disastrous for, for even more people. so it's not that people don't feel the pain of the ukrainians is that they don't think this is a solution to racial reporting from brussels. terry,

thank you for your continued coverage. all across ukraine, ordinary people have signed up to help the war effort. many of them are far from home. after fleeing the russian invasion to cities further west for loss of women that has meant leaving their loved ones behind to fight d. w. funny for charlotte, a group of women in the city of tennessee, in between nights and a bomb shelter at their spending, their days volunteering to support soldiers on the front lines. one do at a time. these women here had very normal lives before the russian invasion. some of them teachers i t specialists, there weapon for peace. bread. yes, nice. yeah. i know what it's like to be hungry. it's very important to fit others. even those who do not know will all ukrainians. but if it does, has 30, i think the breath shall feed soldiers, men and women at the front line. martha lift jenko spearheads. the team of 30

volunteers says that brett means closing us home. love something we can share with you later. 120 people share these house already. it was billed for 80 by marta and various donors 5 years ago to help survivors of domestic violence. she know, accommodates internally displaced women and children. marina just arrived, the 2 children from key after 4 days on the road in both of those care to lot kids for either in the basement or in a garage t as all the time. all countries been killed and destroyed, wides easily shoot. she must eat, though she's not hungry, concerned about her sister who is stealing key. the shelter is located in chattanooga sea in western ukraine still relatively safe, but fearing the worst preparations are in place. what used to be a gym has become a makeshift bomb shelter during the night. moments of comfort much needed for every

one. in another room, volunteers suing ukrainian flax in high demand. now the patches for soldiers to stop the bleeding times of war. highlight the importance of women, martyrs says it sad all that the mush at that, that might he do this because her have to dirt. women do the same as man, although women, odd the frontline of them and fight and also die. and i follow them and drive trucks and looked flower in them. let liberalism waters love rosa memorial leaving you. praying with her 2 children is not an option. she says she cannot leave her husband or her country behind and she will be needed here to once the war is over. domestic violence will be on the rise. she says, just like in 2014, when fighting began in easton, ukrainian up and then a little de enough to listen to what they learned enough people love to kill, to be aggressive. and very often when they return home,

they don't receive rehabilitation from the government. now led their anger out on their wives and children. several of allison cannot imagine what will happen after this, for i am shown as of all the facility, 89, no one can. but every one hopes for peace cream as the lamb is the united nation special reporter on violence against women and she joins us now from brussels. a very warm welcome to do be new. so thank you so much for taking the time. i'm no, we have been reporting on the war in ukraine where everyone is suffering. no one is spared what effect this war have on women, especially and in what ways this conflict manifest itself in the lived experience of women. yeah, as you said in your program, women and children have actually become the face of this relentless war and not only as victims, but also as we heard as caregivers, frontline,

the human rights defenders, defenders of the fundamental human rights. and of course, it's very concerning that the majority of those that have been displaced forcefully displaced by the conflict are women. and children is predominantly among the 2000000 refugees that have now crossed into neighboring countries. the majority are women and children. and of course, there's an estimated 12000000 people trap that cannot leave because they're not able to give him the situation. and we know all of 1000000 id peas internally displaced persons in the ukraine that have been added to the already one point. 5000000 idp that existed before the conflict, and we know that even then 60 percent where we're women. i should also say that what is most concerning is obviously that everybody's life is at risk. but there

are specific groups of women that are more at risk than others. women that are just able women that are elderly women that are not white. and that are of african descent or about a role because they have not been given the same treatment. and so it's incredibly concerning of we see of course, in the past couple of days we've seen so many examples of goodwill of just basic humanity coming to the aid of people in their darkest, our volunteers offering shelter and relief at the border. for example, between ukraine and poland, but this, that also carry risks for women traveling on their own of course. and we know that conflict and war, it generally exactly rates the risk of violence for women. and for children. we know that in many conflicts. and we don't rule out that this may also be the case in this conflict, rape and other gender related. gender based violence is used as

a tool for and you would just reporting that the i, c. c has started. it's investigation that into the situation of ukraine. and the other thing we see is, of course, if there are pre existing situations of violence and ukraine has higher indices of gender based violence even preceding the war. they can be further of course, exacerbated by the conflicts and final thoughts. if i, if i can get your, your thinking on this, in terms of how authorities can mitigate the risks of women and children fleeing the words that the people that arrive here in a days shocked by their experience with know where to go. well, i would say it's very positive that countries neighboring countries have opened their doors with little hurdles or obstacles to those seeking safety and shelter. and this is how it should be actually will. of course,

the exception of some groups that i alluded to, and i would say that in other conflicts around the world where we've had similar situations as women and children and civilians were not able actually to, to, to get the same treatment. and to also find safety because they had the doors close to them. but of course now the key thing is to provide them with life saving surfaces with security. and also to, for those top to ensure that they can get access to who many terry assistance and most importantly, also to, to stop this conflict so that people's lives can be saved. room also on the unions of special operator on violence against women. thank you very much for taking the time to take a questions. we greatly appreciate it. thank you. now it's the biggest and fastest developing refugee crisis in europe since the 2nd world war. that's at least what the you in reference agency has called

a mass exodus of people from ukraine as russia presses its invasion of the country . and it seems only to be getting bigger. let's have a closer look now where things stand. would you w william blue cross d u n. refugee commissioner, put it bluntly on twitter earlier today to 1000000 people have now fled ukraine since russia's invasion less than 2 weeks ago. now, where are they going? we can have a look on the wall here. now most people are heading of course, makes no sense to neighboring countries. the vast majority of them of the more than 2000000 people. 1.2000000 them going to neighboring poland smaller but still significant numbers to countries like slovakia, hunger, romania, moldova, all countries bordering ukraine. now this is where people are going 1st. it doesn't mean that's where they're going to stay already. thousands of people have moved on from poland to next door here in germany, for example. now ukrainians can already travel to the european union without

a visa, and the e. u has said it will grant them automatic protection for at least a year. something that's never been done before. and you've probably, as we said at the top, we've been hearing this comparison toward war 2. now let's remember back then, europe was largely in ruins to day. there's far more money and resources to help these people. but it's none. the less a huge undertaking. and we can look at just what this exodus has done in many of the places. and we can see that there is, in addition, additional problem, not just that the people outside of ukraine, people leaving ukraine, but people who are still stuck in ukraine. and we can see that in our next map behind me just how many people can't get out what have gone elsewhere. 200000 people were here from the city of love of that 200000 people have fled from the eastern parts of the country to that one. city alone,

a city of 700000 people. so we're talking about a large addition of people to this one city, and let's keep in mind. ukraine has had an ongoing conflict in the danverse region in the east 2014. that's created 1500000 displaced people. so that's more and more people on top of so many people, not living where they are from for years and years and years. and as we've been reporting, both russian and ukrainian officials have said there establishing or have established trying to establish humanitarian quarters to get people out of cities getting hit the most by russian forces. like in the encircled city of murray poll, we've heard so much about a city of 40000 people. it's estimated half the city is trying to get out with these quarters are shaky at best they fail before it's difficult to know how many those people can escape before fighting resumes if it hasn't already. thank you so much. i am now a ukrainian present voluntary zalinski has given

a virtual address to british members of parliament in the house of commons in london. just moments ago, missus links zalinski received a standing ovation from m p, as he spoke to them via video link from keith where he remains dissuade increasing russian pressure on the capital. he spoke about the hardships endured by civilians, but that his people would fight to ensure they don't lose their country lighting for our a secure to london. it of course monta charlotte chelsea pill is standing by a charlotte. mister zalinski had a dramatic message for the peas. the mpg did indeed he painted a horrific, very immersive picture of what's 13 days of war in ukraine. his looked might look like quite literally taking it day by day, giving the british poems, a rundown of what it has been light wool. he said that ukraine did not start now.

he compared ukraine's pipe. is a bible to britain's fight against the nazis walden to it. in doing so, he's a lot of evocative language that was very much resonate with the public here, particularly saying that ukraine will fight in the forest in the fields, we will never give up. that really was a reference that to a speech that's very famous here from a war time world war 2 time minister, winston churchill, he also quoted shakespeare and ukraine has just has had to decide whether to be not or not to be in an and real state of defiance, he said ukraine will be then addressing the prime minister directly. he asked, who are you, kate ratchet up pressure on russian president vladimir putin, including with additional sanctions. and obviously we saw there he received a standing ovation. what reactions, what other reactions have you been hearing and seeing to his address?

absolutely, but the school and also his, the actual address, the house of commons standing room only did give him that standing ovation. let me just really stress it. how unprecedented this is. this is the 1st time the foreign leader will be advert actually has addressed m p 's in the house of commons. that is the significance of this speech today they've, why responses from prime minister force johnson and the leader of the opposition. immediately off to that address, the prime minister is saying never before the house listened to an address quite like this. he said it's moved the haunts of everybody in the house saying that ukrainians have 5 millions with their income, with their courage. he said that you case determined to press on and to tighten their sanctions on russia. fellow trail some pill reporting from london. thank you . so much charlotte you're watching the w news. a recap now of the main

story from the crisis. ukraine has started evacuating civilians via humanitarian pores, coordinated with russia. video appears to show plus was leaving the north eastern city assuming. but keith is accusing russian forces of breaking a cease fire agreement to let people out of my you hold a little rock and roll in. thank you so much for watching movies back. interesting. ah, with

who to the point. strong opinion. clear positions, international perspectives, humanitarian crisis in ukraine is intensifying for aging. rules are and medicines rolling desperately short supply. i 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 o. d, w. these places in europe are smashing all the records.

stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters, discover some of europe's record breaking sites on google maps, youtube, and know also in book form. ah ah

ah. it began as a military operation. now though it's a massive onslaught on the well being. indeed the lives 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 ask putins wor, no mercy for civilians.
