a response to russia's invasion. ah, i'm really mohammed walked to the program. russian troops are advancing toward major ukrainian cities amid strong resistance pushing to encircle, keep with heavy fighting, taking place, just east of the capitol. russian troops are also continuing their seat of the south eastern city of mario pole, a day after a deadly strike on a children's hospital. high level talks on thursday failed to bring a cease fire as ukrainian civilians continue to suffer ambushed on the road to keep after 2 weeks of fighting ukrainian forces are battling to stop their capital. from being surrounded off to russian tanks reached its eastern outskirts on wednesday. ukrainian soldiers said they forced back the convoy with the russians,

leaving behind an armored personnel carrier as well as 2 tanks, one of which they were able to repair and take themselves. but while keith continues to put up fierce resistance on the ground, there was little progress on the diplomatic front of the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers met in turkey. russia is not in a position at this point to establish a ceasefire. they seek a surrender from ukraine. this is not what they're going to get. ukraine is strong. ukraine is fighting. we're ready to seek, balanced diplomatic solutions to put an end to this war. but we will not surrender russian foreign minister, sir. gala rose quickly demonstrated just how far part the sides remain. even on the basic facts, we will go on the bug we didn't attack ukrainian. however,

we just explained to ukraine repeatedly the situation, post direct security threats to the russian federation of us, used to figure us leverage. also said maternity hospital matter. you poll that was bombed on wednesday, was empty of patients and occupied by far right. militia members, just hours later, however rushes ministry defense denied the attack happened at all, claiming it was staged. but with russian efforts to press on, keep continuing to run into heavy resistance. many fear that moscow will increase its indiscriminate, bombardments, or his luck as some of the other developments in the conflict. for my german chancellor, gerhard schroeder has is reported to be in moscow for talks with vladimir putin on ukraine. according to website. political shudder is known to be a close friend of the russian president and is a member of the supervisory board for the state owned energy giant ra,

snapped washington. as warning of a potential chemical or biological weapons attack by russia in ukraine. it comes off to moscow, accused the us of supporting a bio weapons program in ukraine. the by the administration, believes the accusation could be an attempt by the cannon to justify such an attack . you as vice president, kamala harris says that washington is prepared to defend nato territory. she made the comments in warsaw during talk with poland prime minister. but i use more at the etzky earlier. the u. s. rejected a proposal from poland to transfer, make 29 point to jets, to the u. s. air base before giving them to ukraine. for certain you leaders, art meeting in versailles, france for a summit on the conflict in ukraine. the war in ukraine is dominating the agenda. leaders also tackling the ease dependence on washer natural gas and oil,

as well as the defense capabilities summit was initially organized before russia invaded ukraine to discuss the slides, asian, the economy, and the pandemic. but all issues are now eclipse, fight rushes invasions a short while ago european commission. president ursula one de line set out the agenda for the summit. at the summit, we will rethink european defense with strong capabilities. we will rethink energy. we have to get rid of the dependency of russian fossil fuels. and for that we need massive, massive investment in renewables. and we will also certainly discuss ukraine as part of as our of our european family. we want a free and democratic ukraine with whom we share a common destiny. or let's get the lay, the strong verse i and speak to marina strauss has been following all the latest

developments. summary not, not all of the leaders have been on board with fast tracking ukraine to become an e member where things stand on that when e leaders arrived here on thursday at this, a beautiful castle of for a size had to do that so that he can see, just are behind me, it very clear, very fast that they are not all agree on their ukraine becoming a member of the european union. any time soon we had the latvian prime minister saying we should send a strong signal that you should have send a strong signal to ukraine in this very difficult situation for ukraine. but we also had many other leaders saying, well, it's a difficult situation. becoming a member, it's a very, very long process and that's what they didn't say, but that's woods expert says that ukraine is not ready for becoming a new member. you have to fulfill a long list of criteria. and for example,

corrupt structures in the country are a hurdle for your crimes to become a member. and it is not very likely that ukraine a will even become a candidate to join the european union anytime soon. so what kind of support is the you going to give ukraine at this moment in time? that used ready giving or has been granting a lot of support to ukraine for example, humanitarian aid also many of course then military training will listen to you itself. but the member states, and in the last couple of weeks before the seen a military devices that have been granted to ukraine. but one thing that you ukrainian president village, mr. lansky always asked that you to, to do and to help ukraine is, sir,

is it is military. it supports like troops on the ground. and that's not going to happen because ukraine is not a, an eto member, as many you member states are. and so in this case, nato, the defense alliance will not interfere there. and in terms of phasing out the dependency on russian oil and natural gas, how do they intend to do this? was a bit similar to the membership issue. also, your leaders have a very different or your state have very different opinion opinions on this issue because you are states are very and some are very dependent russian gas. some are not a, for example, the baltic states ladelly throwing estonia. they once the you to ban russian energy a coming russian and she coming from russia. and so to get a blood in hootie in the russian president on the negotiation table at least that

what they think will lead to there. but then we also have germany, for example, a country you know, that which is very dependent on russian gas and oil and, or we had the german chancellor will actually to day here talking to the press. and he was very reluctant saying we already have so many sanctions in place and they're working well and we don't need further sanctions on gas and oil. well, other leaders would certainly disagree with that. and finally, e leaders are looking to discuss the economy on friday. what are we to expect it's, it's an on friday. so and the 2nd day of december, because the summit was not a summit that was only convened because of the ukraine crisis. it was planned long in advance here. and the original topic was the economy. and the question how europe could become more independent from other parts of the world. and of course, the crisis and ukraine, the war and ukraine showed very clearly that for example,

when it comes to energy that you has to find different solutions to be also more independent or an energy level. for example, they will discuss possible l l and she terminals in the european union's liquid natural gas. and they will also discuss the see me can see my cynical, semi constructor and try to achieve that. something that became very clear, june the pandemic that said these little chips you need for mobile phones are very important. and they're not produced in the european union. but for example, in asia, and that's something your opinion leaders were to change. or in a straus reporting from the verse, i thank you very much. with united nations has been calling for better protection of ukraine's cultural fights. as russia continues its assault on the country at a museum in the besieged city of harkey. workers are trying to save one of ukraine's most valuable ot collections. harkey,

ukraine's 2nd biggest city, a centre of industry and culture. in places now hardly recognizable. amid the destruction, the harkey of art museum still standing. it's windows and doors were shattered. when russian forces bombed a nearby target, the museums director found her office in ruins. florida, he is, was measures a very civilized country. you know right now it's the culture, do re high culture. you look at them when we see this is we understand how high that culture is. good to go now is to get as much of the collection as possible into storage. and many of the artworks they want to save from the russians are in fact russian. oh, if they are doing an thing blue pearl, it's just an irony of hate that we should be saving russian artists acting that paintings by russian artists from their own nation. i don't,

i think it's just barbaric. lot of stuff. wouldn't them like this work by russian master eelie, a rape in one of 25000 artworks in the museums collection. with no windows intact, it's impossible to control the temperature or the humidity. they say they'll only be able to assess any damage to the works when the war is over a month. i need the impulse thing. if i knew my, i just don't understand what kind of a person one must be to kill people. i finally destroy architectural landmarks, art masterpieces. i have no words yet. florian, i don't want to start swearing in front of a camera. as russian troops slowly move in on the city of harkey of the museum, like the cities, people as bracing for what's yet to come. authorities in berlin asked say that they are struggling to cope with the large number of refugees arriving in the german capital. city officials want the federal government

to help relocate thousands of mostly women and children to other parts of the country. thousands arrive every day. traumatized, exhausted, glad to be safe. but said, and there was no law and people tried to help us and that i had all hell, what can he door and us as a avid yvonne help and the every month i told gary about us. so it's ok among the good samaritans, this police officer who bid farewell to a family of 4 whom she opened her home to leave. i'm either going to guess that the family was supposed to go to mac the berg last night, where they had been assigned to her. and after that had to long days hanging around . i couldn't see them going to mac to berg again in the evening. no. so the slate with me for a night and now they're continuing on it, but i don't like them as well as the refugees offers of help keep coming to

forfeit operations in the run up. we already gave money in donation giles and yes, now we have consulted again and we said that because we have an upper floor with a guest room in a private bathroom. we were happy to make this available still in the nita so grade and seeing this people its heart rending, had some real blake and he doesn't. he may be, we'll be there one day and we'll need a hand and someone will. how pause. you have to stick together on one with autism higher than for germany. berlin has been at the face of this. exit is no official say they're running out of space. the mayor says, no one can know how many will come if wilson and as we knew on the 1st day when the attacks began, that we would have a very large movement of refugees as feel that many people would also arrive here in berlin. we cannot yet see for sure how many the will be hard to knock. now it

says that 5 extra accommodation centers will be set up in the capital, but officials are calling on the federal government to help transfer refugees to other parts of the country. this is dw news live from berlin up next is all the latest business sadistic land. for that he can find much one, a website he told me, dot com that's watching every day for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make city screener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with all our waste?
