[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, no relief for the people of you. crap. russian forces are keeping up their attacks across the country. we report on the situation in the besieged city of murray, of traumatized residents are running out of food and water and many thousands remain track also coming up then i feel very bad and tired. my head hurts badly. why do i have to leave 3 days?

i just want some rest. we meet at 82 year old woman and key full remembers the german invasion in world war 2 and whose home was now destroyed in a rush, an asteroid blast. what role does religion play in the ward? and is russian orthodox church stalking the conflict? ah, i'm good. how else has well come to the program? ukraine's capital is imposing a 36 hour curfew from this evening. may of italy, cliff go called it a difficult and dangerous moment for keith. russian forces positioned outside the city are shelling residential areas. they've also stepped up the strikes on the capitals, north western suburbs, elsewhere ukrainian authorities say they determined to open 9 humanitarian corridors,

to allow civilians to be evacuated there. also hoping to be able to deliver aid to the besieged city of mario paul, where the situation is becoming increasingly desperate. your point in the matter of seconds, they have to run for their lives. and then the bombardment begins. ah, this is what life looks like and mario paul, a city under siege by russian forces. when i'm on the issue on you, we have no information at all. we know nothing. it looks like we are living in a deep forest. that should have told us something, at least about what's going on, and where i thought heavy sheylan has destroyed homes, supermarket him,

hospitals and mario paul residents have been without food, water, and electricity. more than 2000 people have died here since the war began. it will be done is that will responsibility for the war crimes of the russian military. it is inevitable soon as his work for the deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in ukrainian citizen the whole world please. what is happening, mary paul, i do believe fitted from above, shows the scale of destruction across the city, which is completely surrounded by russian forces. on monday, a 1st convoy of civilians was able to escape mario paul, the 1st evacuation in 2 weeks of russian bombardment. but an 8 convoy trying to reach the city is reportedly blocked by russian forces.

this footage was released by the russian defense ministry. they say 200 buses have been prepared for the evacuation of mario pull residence. and aid is on its way. i'll be reduced one of your only new car convoys with humanitarian cargo were promptly formed and immediately sent you. the 1st convoy has already arrived in maria paul and delivered 450 tons of medical supplies, essentials and food, including baby food. going into our logical information, not in w is on able to verify. did you know, remember, had you seen where, you know, you mean while fighting on the ground shows no sign of abating a short while ago i spoke to w correspondence, mateus billing i inches. i asked him how risky was for people fleeing maria? oh, well that's how to verify whether they were using an a humanitarian career. people are trying to escape the city. of course, by all means,

but it's very difficult because the city is surrounded by troops and as fighting all around the city. what we've seen yesterday these 160 cars, they were the 1st successful humanitarian corridor. it lasted for a few hours, 160 cars were able to get out. so you can make the, you can do the martha in each car, there were 5 people that would be $800.00 people getting out out of several 100000 people. so most people that remain trapped or the situation is dia, it has been cut off from supplies for more than 10 days. and it has also been a there, the infrastructure has been damaged water, electricity. so supplies are really running low as we hear when people have died in the shelling and we are hearing that it has been impossible even to bury the dead because of this intensive showing in some parts of the city. so it is a hell hole. so in the ukrainian capital, key of where you are, my tears,

we under set up in a mo, explosions near the city center. and we can clearly see a destroyed building behind you. can you tell us more about what's happening there? yeah, this is one of the buildings that have been destroyed or just stirred last night or something. flew into this building and the whole for say it is damaged. some of it has been burning, and people are now clearing the debris. what we hear now, the sounds of falling objects, as mostly people throwing broken up windows and debris down from the balconies, trying to secure their belongings. um, these shillings, they have intensified over the past few days and a few buildings are fewer residential buildings. now that how that high rise buildings with many apartments, many families living in them, have been hit. and we've been on the site. and we've also talked to people yesterday. yes,

love and affiliate incur has been sitting outside her apartment since the early morning hours. she's waiting for someone to pick her up after the apartment she has been living for decades was shelled over night. cool this is it one way. another small one and the kitchen. that's what it was. it was 5 a. m. when a shell hit the house with that he says that there was a loud bang, and immediately he has some kind of white snake, levant in the eyes and the threat of the door. and then i had the firefighters in the corridor saying yes, don't go out in the staircase is gone with the heat yet. so they had me climbed down on a fire fighters ladder, the cleaning up some of the debris. but it's hard to imagine people would ever be able to live here. again. authorities are saying that

at least one person died in the attack. any more have lost everything they had. those who can still accessed their property or trying to secure their belongings. yet us laverna is 83 years old. this is the 2nd war she has experienced. her early childhood memories are of world war 2 with a feel very bad though, i'm tired of my head hurts badly. why do i have to leave through this? i just want some rest good relative is on his way to pick her up. then she will have to start all over again. matthias talks between ukraine and russia resuming to day ado ukrainians like yours

lover. have anything to hope? well, of course people hope that these fighting's will end and that there will be peace again. but the question is, are what can be achieved in these talks? are the 2 countries have very different takes on what's happening here? are russia is basically still demanding ukraine to surrender, to disarm itself, not to be able to defend itself, and to be under some kind of russian protection protectorate and her ukraine is of course demanding that those troops that have invaded the country withdraw or we are seeing a little bit as change in tone, the ukranian fight has said that they feel that some compromise might be reached in the future. and that talks or can, can move on. but this is signaling is also of course, part of the political communication. so we don't really know what is going on,

what has been a, what the 2 sides have been able to agree on was for example, these corridors to evacuate people. but it's definitely not something is going on there. um some, some very loud, but this is definitely not what the ukrainian side is. is it, this is definitely not the outcome that will lee this conflict to piece. it's just about a few steps towards a bit more of a, you mean a situation here and even these have not worked all the time. so it's still a long way ahead when he was pulling on our correspondent in here. thank you very much mathias. meanwhile, the polish cheque and the civilian prime ministers are on their way to cave. they are travelling by train. and what is the 1st visit by foreign leaders to ukraine's capital? since russia's invasion started last month's, the check prime minister petro fiala released this statement. the purpose of the

visit is to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire european union for the sovereignty and independence of ukraine. the statement was also released by the polish government while corresponded, bound, he goes east, anywhere the european union's headquarters in brussels for as bad. that's a very high level delegation the ever, what are these 3 prime ministers bring with them other than words of support? but basically they bring this message of solidarity. the polish prime minister also issued a statement before you enter the train and also, and he says in such curricular times for the world, it's our duty to beaver history is forged and but they don't have new measures in their luggage. so to say they can of course, say that that you had said just decided on a 4th round of sanctions, and that the russia will be kicked out of the world trade organization,

the w t. o. not only by the united states, but also now by the european union, but they don't have a new measures or weapons or co dash jets or a no fly zone in, in the baggage. that's what ukraine had asked for, that this will not come. and the whole visit was also not endorsed by the european union. the youth says now that the counselor was informed but does not actually actively support this journey because it's considered to be very risky at a security level. as you say, very risky, a very unusual step, but i imagine it was a lot of planning when 3 prime ministers travel to a war zone, any word and how all this was prepared. the other 3 prime ministers informed the european union, the council actually last week in versailles when they met there for

a special summit. and then everything was done in secret. and yesterday evening there was the confirmation that the, this train actually would go. but the you says here it's, it's very risky, and it's not clear what they want to achieve by this, by this trevor. and so the, the, the council president, char, michelle, decided not to go and we will now see if that plays out. because as you have reported already, you keith is under shelling and they are a very high risk to this trouble. and we will see when the strain returns the w. rosemont battle eager there for us. thanks for this update. now the un says 3000000 people have now fled the war in ukraine, a some ukrainians, living abroad have made their way back into the country since the beginning of the russian assault, more than a 180000 people have returned to ukraine. they want to contribute to the war effort,

either by joining the military or by helping those affected by the fighting. these people are not on their way out. but on their way in while a growing number of people have already left ukraine for safety and neighboring countries, these ukrainians want to return home to defend and support their country. love, i will go back and help. i'm a health worker and the hospitals need more hands. i want to stay until the end. your son is the concern is i am going home to see my elderly relatives. i'll bring food and then i'll go to the military enlistment office. they have been following the war from a distance and see how it has the effect that their loved ones. we are going to change a grain of i am returning to ukraine to help people evacuate. i am in a more stable state of mind that my friends who have been exposed to rocket attacks

and bombs. i know that keith is also going to be occupied. so we're taking this last opportunity to get there now to help other people do. some have traveled back from the other side of the world. this man lives in the united states, but is originally from western ukraine. america is alyssa, this movie, my children and grandchildren stayed in america. i want them to come to a free country. i believe that ukraine will be free and i'll be able to bring my 4 grandchildren to the city of live. i was born there and lived there for 30 years or so. it will not be easy for them to witness 1st hand the destruction of their country. and they know they might not come back from this war, but they are determined to do their part to resist russia's assault on their people and homeland. let's have a look now. some of the other developments in the ukraine war un secretary general antonio good terrace,

has warned of the potential for nuclear war over you crime. good harris said quote, the prospect of a nuclear conflict once unthinkable is now within the realm of possibility. he urged russia to stop its invasion of your friend pursued diplomacy. instead. ukraine has denied launching a strike on the separatist separatist house. the city of don't ask after russia accused it of killing 23 civilians, their russian official said ukraine has committed a war cry. ukrainian military spokesperson said rocket was clearly of russian origin. in moscow, a dissenting journalist stormed the set of rushes most watched evening television news stroke on monday, holding an anti war sign rena of sunny cove. i'm an editor at the state control outlet channel. one was clearly visible behind the anchor before the broadcast cut away from the studio, proposed to read no war, stop the war,

don't believe the propaganda. they are lying to you here. the journalist was detained and human rights activists say they are unable to get in touch with her before her rest, till she released a video or explaining why she chose to protest in the last years. unfortunately, i've been working with kremlin propaganda on channel one, and i feel very much ashamed of that. i am very ashamed that i allowed such lies on t v. i allowed the brain washing of the russian people, we did not say anything in 2014. when it all started, we did not take to the streets and protests when the kremlin poison navine. we silently watched this inhumane regime. and now the entire world has turned away from us. 10 more future generations won't wash out the shame of this fratricidal war upon germany as announced as beefing up its air force with dozens of us made f. 35 stealth fighters be replacing germany's aging fleet of tornado

fighter bombers, which are currently the only planes in the german air force certified to carry natal nuclear weapons. germany's air force commander says you ross's rushes actions in ukraine left knoll tentative. germany's belinda's van have been flying these tornado jets for 40 years. they are still operational, albeit aging, but are due to be retired. in 2030 tornadoes allowed germany to fulfill its commitment to nato by delivering american nuclear weapons in case of need. but new aircraft are now needed, not zach for the to go. but after carefully considering all options on the table sheet, i have decided to start procuring f 35 jets to fulfill our nuclear sharing obligations from from i say i would like the f. 35 is considered the most modern fighter jet in

the world. it can carry us nuclear weapons and it's design and coding. make it difficult for radar to detect we think i'll hear that. i think we're sending the right signal that we've chosen a system that's available on the market to accelerate the modernization about armed forces after the sliding and choosing the f. 35 should speed up this process. another option is to upgrade the europe made a euro fighter jets, so they to could carry us nuclear weapons. but that would probably take too long. the blender, severe will continue to use and by european fighter jets. but the biggest purchase will now be of aircraft from the u. s. military experts there on bias as this marks a pivotal change. discuss your over to the recent discussions about defense on the security policy. make clear that the german way of always wanting to develop something itself may take far too much time. so buying something of the shelf may be the quickest solution. colton mostly garlan dish. and a lot of news on docking condo with,

if decision to purchase the f 30 fives germany is embarking on a new path for now, the buddhist, there is no longer pursuing ambitious development projects and instead buying what's on the market. even if this means greater dependence on the u. s. the vatican that says that pope francis would be willing to facilitate dialogue to help stop the war and ukraine. a large majority of ukrainian population identifies as orthodox christian, and while their religious leaders have publicly condemned the invasion. recent statements by the head of the orthodox church, russian patriarch geral openly supported moscow's invasion. this has splintered the world wide orthodox church on this raisin fears of religious strife. it's 2020 and around 50 kilometers from moscow. a cathedral is being inaugurated in

honor of the armed forces. a sign of how tightly entwined orthodox christianity and politics are in russia. the influence of the orthodox church leader is hard to under estimate. the moscow's patriarch carol has made no bones about where his loyalty lies. he spoken of russia's opponents as evil forces portraying ukraine as a nation, succumbing to what he calls sinful western practices, such as gay pride parades, idea in ukraine. some $30000000.00 orthodox christians, a split between a self governing church and the ukrainian orthodox church, which is part of the moscow patria kate. but since the invasion, the rival leaders have been united in that condemnation of russia with some churches left, not even able to provide a sanctuary from the assault many clerics and ukraine, and our joining calls for

a complete split from the moscow church. and while korean preaches justification, ukraine's 4 and a half 1000000 catholics are looking to the head of their church to wage piece, you know, grain court. but while pope frances is called it a war which sows, death, destruction, and misery. notice that he has neither named vladimir putin as the aggressor, nor appeal to coral, to intervene on the side of peace study that i'm a john. the studio by d. w is a religious offense analyst. a martin got martin at the village and has been sort of a bit of an under exposed side of this, this conflict. many people have been asking themselves, why is putin doing all this? and how important is faith for putins rule. i think that for the war itself, religion place actually a pretty important role. it's very difficult to gauge how important is for putting

her house in sir. he might be in his religious commitments, but there is a very long history in russia of essentially recruiting political, sent a religious sentiments of the among the population. are there to support political crusades and the brook symmetry of the orthodox church, particularly the musk vibratory take to the kremlin, has been essential for putting to actually rally the population behind the war effort. so in a sense, it's not really just a theological matter, but the church represents a very strong cultural position which is very conservative, very reactionary in cease basically the criminal in a very capable defender of those social and cultural positions. ukraine is important for the orthodox to judge briefly explain why, very much so because the pre, the process of conversion of drew's, or the press of conversion of the slavic world, really, to some degree, starts in ukraine,

coming from the south coming from greek orthodox churches. capital can turkey, but it's really a, it's really the ukraine. what open, so you said the gates of the slavic were to christianity for the russians. the ukrainian church is actually very important and it has been one that has been very close to the most. quite patrick kate at obviously curious, is also a very divisive fee or no for really quite a long time. so he has actually manage over the last couple fears to break relations to several of his orthodox fears. so could we regard the key if, as the, it's the founding place really of the russian orthodox church, isn't it? and could we regard this war as putins war to reclaim the jerusalem if you will, of fuel for the extra. there is absolutely no doubt in my mind at least following sort of the cycle, the cycle of news and explanations that there is a very strong messianic. you know, message being being essentially, you know,

deployed. it's not really coming across when you look at politicians and when you listen to the news, but it's certainly there when you actually start to hear what people are saying, different parishes and different churches and so on. it's obvious that the speed of the ukrainian church, which now has actually 3 way split is seen as basically a run away ran away congregation for the church in moscow. but i think that it's also the case that the proximity of orthodoxy with russian sentiments of identity tend to actually look at ukraine. something that is essentially an escaping child of the, of the bruce, meat of the russian rules committee, the russian, i'm not, not empire, but certainly impair you sort of the space of influence. religious affairs was fun . martin got there. thank you much. you're welcome. now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. really

30000000 people on the lockdown across china. as numbers of coven 19 cases are increasing that the current wave of infections is the countries worst. since the pandemic began local authorities blame the highly transmissible only from variant and have been responding with chrome teens as travel restrictions. maritime agencies are working to re float a cargo ships stuck off the us east coast. the vessel is run by evergreen. that's the same company who's container ship block the suez canal last year, disrupting one of the world's busiest shipping routes, or no initial reports of injuries, pollution, or damage to the vessel. a court in the indian state of connecticut past upheld a ban on wearing the job in schools and colleges. the judge ruled that where the head scarf was not an essential religious practice of islam. the ban last month sparked protests and counter protests that spread nationwide. and that's it
