[000:00:00;00] ah this is the w news life from the civilians. desperate to leave batted ukraine may have another chance russian state media reports and you see spy will go into effect around the besieged areas. 5 besieged areas of the country, but give accuses rushes. forces of attacking previous escape routes. united states bands, russian oil imports, president joe biden says he was subsidized warren, you cry,

but you're still depend moscow's natural gas and oil. and berlin rolls out the welcome mat, ukrainian refugees, thousands arriving every day. authorities appeal to the rest of the country to pitch in and help ah, i've been fizzle and welcome for another day. russia says it will hold its fire to allow safe passage for civilians from 5 cities. that's according to a russian use agency. quoting the defense ministry, the sci fi would begin one hour from now. ah, as the russian invasion and is its 14th day air raid sirens blaring keys amid reports of the explosions residence of the near by some of your pin that's under russian attack. have been trying to flee on foot during a cease fire announced on tuesday,

thousands of civilians in the northern city of summa managed to leave by boss ukraine's government shed this video among the people evacuated boy, many foreign nationals living in ukraine. but you can claims that russian troops shell the route leading away from the city of murray opal. despite the growing death toll ukraine's army says it has managed to slow the advance of russian forces, which is suffering major setbacks. leaving as fast as they can. people fled the northeastern city of sumi, trying to get out before nightfall when a cease fire ends. the night before airstrikes hit residential buildings and a power plant. local authorities said 21. people were killed. further west people fleeing the city of european close to the capital key is crossing a damaged bridge that russian troops have repeatedly fired on as civilians tried to

get across heart breaking good byes. as many of the men split up from their families to go back and fight others helping those unable to make the journey by themselves. who are you yearly yearly? you know we are fleeing, he well had a she'll. she is barely walking, but we are doing our best. thank you. that is good that we could cross the bridge. bombs are exploding over there. quite attending of european is totally damaged. she'll just the civil move, actually silla, meanwhile in the capital president followed email zalinski refusing to flee the video message to his people trying to prepare them for the days to come. bishops new was snow is falling. this is spring,

coding ok with the war is the same as spring severe, but it will be all right, allison, on one, we will win anyway. military analysts say the russian onslaught will likely get worse in the coming days. russian forces are increasingly turning to shelling civilian areas and infrastructure while their tanks and troops are bogged down outside key cities. in the port city of odessa residence or mounting barricades in front of the beloved opera house. so far the city hasn't been head. but if the experience of the last several days is any guide, anyone who stays behind should be prepared for the worst us. let's go to our correspond mathias putting her in key. if it is what's the situation this morning in the capitol? it's are as always very calm in the capital are still the fighting is limited to those suburbs that you mentioned. european and boucher and the area around that

airport. and also troops are advancing from the east. but just the city center has so far been spared of heavy fighting and also mostly not at all. not completely, but are mostly of heavy bomb. being the city is still open. it's possible to leave the city and to get into the city and supplies are still getting into the city. so life is tense here, but still possible. many civilians have been rescued from the besieged city of sooner. what about marie or pole in the south? i'd looks a lot worse than so much. zoom is already quite bad and many people have died there as well. trying to escape the city. but her maria poll is very, very dia, it's completely surrounded. it's been completely surrounded for more than a week now. and electricity has been cut, water supplies have been cut. we've seen pictures of children dying of dehydration

and her supplies are running low. people are trying to survive on what's left there . it's very, very, very dia mathias. what about supplies getting through to where you are? water, food heating, what's the situation like for you? yeah, here in key of as i said, the roads a, some of the roads are still open and supplies can get into the city. the city's infrastructure, water, or heating, is, is, is deliver, it's a cold day to day. but heating, fortunately, is still on and other infrastructure, even public transport is still running in the streets, are still getting clean. so, except for the people who have left the city and burned and who are those who are staying are trying to stay at home as much as they can. so the city is eerily empty, but it is still functioning. but it is, can you give us an idea of where we're at in this battle? as i mentioned before, and you kings army says it's managed to slow the advance of russian forces and

which are suffering major setbacks. it depends on what you see as the or how you measure it. the idea of the russian army seems to have been to take care of quickly and then i have the government surrender and take control of the country that has clearly not worked. resistance has been fears to this, this russian advance, the ukranian army has been able to destroy a lot of the russian military technol technology. and also her many russian soldiers have died or have been captured. so they have the russian army has considerable losses. but there is oscar also. it's also very clear that the russian army is outnumbering the ukrainians. they have more supplies that they can bring in. so this is now a battle of 2 armies wearing each other out. this is what it is about and or whether the ukraine can continue to resist. the russian army will, of course,

depend on its supplies on the morale, which is still very high, and russia is advancing but very slowly at his bearing. i appreciate the update. thank you. very much is a look at some other developments. the united states has dismissed an offer by poland to send its fleet of big 2900 jets to ukraine. was or intended to give the soviet era craft to washington for used by the ukrainian military pentagon, was concerned that russia could view the 3 way deal as a hostile loose police in the russian city of saint petersburg have detained a group of women protesting against the invasion, a few great were holding up posters, which is legal, uphold about the deaths of russian soldiers. most of his past tough penalties for speaking out against the military credit rating agency fits as downgraded brush and debt by 6, such as to see saying that

a default is imminent. the agency says sanctions and trade restrictions could undermine russia's willingness to service it. state the western measures of for the countries financial markets into turmoil following its invasion of u. k. u. s. president joe biden has announced a ban on russian oil imports in response to the invasion. it comes as the united states struggles with rising fuel prices and inflation day. the u. s. in ports only a small percentage of its oil from russia, but the bad is expected to push oil prices even higher. is president by today, i mean, now seen united states is targeting the main order of rush economy. we're branding all in ports of russian oil and gas, and new g m e is russian oil no longer be acceptable. u. s. ports the american people will deal another powerful blow to put more machine. this is a move that has strong bipartisan support. congress and i believe in the country.

markers of rally to poor have rallied to sponsor ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing foods war. the european union is more reluctant to cut itself off from russian energy. brussels has laid out a plan to drastically reduce imports by the end of the year and cut them it off entirely by 2030. getting there won't be easy. russia is now openly threatening to cut off gas supplies to europe completely. this would lead to enormous bottlenecks for the entire e. you gas is primarily used to heat homes in ovens in production processes in power plants to produce electricity. a sudden supply stop would push up energy prices dramatically. prices for oil and gas have already risen steeply. consumers are feeling the pressure at the petro pumps and on their gas bills. before the

russian attack, a megawatt hour of gas cost, $69.00 euro's already more expensive than consumers were used to. since then, in just 2 weeks, the price of the e ex energy exchange has rocked to a record high of 335 euros, and the outlook is uncertain. no one knows whether russia will make good on its threat and turn off the tap completely. the e u now wants to completely become independent of russia. re power e u is the name of its new strategy at its core, diversifying energy suppliers, and drawing more from renewable sources like solar and bio gas. renewables give us the freedom to choose an energy source that is clean, cheap, reliable, and ours. and instead of continuing to fund fossil fuel impulse and fund russian oligarchs,

renewables create new jobs here in europe. the u wants to replace 2 thirds of russian gas imports by the end of the year and ambitious target. this will end our over dependency and give us much needed room to maneuver 2 thirds by the end of this year. it's hard, bloody hard, but it's possible if we're willing to go further and faster than we've done before . the you already has plans for its energy transition, but the warren ukraine has officials startled forcing them to make the switch far faster than previously thought possible. the refugee exit assessing thousands of ukrainians arrive here in berlin every day. it's called the capital of god and is pushing resources to the limit. berlin says he can't cope alone and has appealed for help from other parts of the country. safe at last, far from the war,

the ukrainian refugees at this shelter arrived in berlin. a few days ago, traumatized and exhausted. very few were willing to talk to us. one woman from the besieged city of hart give told us she finally managed to get some sleep after arriving here. she can't hold back her tears. what it looks like. he quoted, my sister still there is a widow job with that. she lives in an apartment block on the 8th floor that you had. she told me she'll never leave. she'd rather die their bombs and missiles raining down on the city daily. when you play about 140 people have found 10 pre shelter here that being cared for in part by an angio that operates shelters like these. it's manager tells us. time is of the essence in this crisis. and having to under snuffed, i got a glory. i am on sunday morning to say the people would be moving in that day just to my colleagues, work like crazy in constant shift us to get everything ready over the song ducks. 2

buses arrived carrying refugees in the course of the day, and we thought that was it. but by evening, another passport out to our door with no advance notice that to your after arriving at berlin central train station people are taken to their accommodation. more than 10000 refugees from ukraine are arriving every day. the city has sounded the alarm saying it can't cope. germany's interior minister has promised to help me can be ang, we are evaluating how to provide refugees from the war zones with a place to stay in germany. naturally, they can't all stay in berlin. the city can't cope on its own melina line and natalie stem. the government is working on a plan to coordinate the distribution of refugees. but all of germany states have pledged to take people in or in the, as i said to so which is bessie. i just want to say thank you to germany for helping us in this situation. the 1st of ally canon and i will try to help

a country in any way i can't was but she will be so it will take time to settle refugees across germany until then berlin will have to continue rolling out the help from you arrive. was this is the w news lie from berlin? i've been fizzle. and thanks for watching we back next hour and see them every day for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats what to do with all our waste?
