besieged city of morrow, paul, se some 2000 civilian cars. i've already left a long one evacuation route. authorities are also hoping to get aid to people inside the city where the situation is becoming increasingly desperate. in the matter of seconds, they have to run for their lives. and then the bombardment begins with this is what life looks like and mario paul. a city under siege by russian forces. when i want the house on you, we have no information at all. we know nothing. it looks like we are living in a deep forest. they should have told us something, at least about what's going on and where,

like your heavy sheylan has destroyed homes. supermarkets in hospital, the mario paul residents have been without food, water, and electricity. more than 2000 people have died here since the war began. i mean, we will be done is over you responsibility for the war crimes of the russian military. it is inevitable soon as his war or the deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in ukrainian cities knew the whole world. please, what is happening, mary? of all i do believe footed 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 passes have been prepared for the evacuation of mario pull residence. and aid is on its way. i'll get, you know, sort 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 there, legible, information, not a w is unable to verify legion. i remember her deals and were, you know, i mean while fighting on the ground shows no sign of abating. when our joint bo lena soccer ceased the deputy director of the ukrainian red cross. and she's currently in valencia in central. you ukraine. olivia, you have a team working in mario pool at the moment. what are you hearing from them?

good afternoon. well, it's true that our team, our emergency response team is working in my you, but it's around 15 people of, of team plus other spontaneous one and 2 years. so our number is bigger than that, that they're currently working in the c 2, they're actually base it. they have always been based in the city, but we have no connection with them from time to time. once in a couple of days, we get in touch with them because there is no mobile connection, unfortunately, as well as yesterday to city water and everything else. we know that they are all safe now, well not say, but they live at least and then delivering the humanitarian mission. they, we have almost used always to read correct cross stockpile for food and other necessities. and we are now trying to negotiate locally where it is possible in the city to replenish our supply, to deliver water and food and other things to the population of the

situation is in fact very difficult. we do not know how with things are going on now they're in much open because no, no connection with so some civilian, so are we here have much to leave. how difficult has it been getting people supplies to people still stop? well, we cannot, we have a big supply of everything in fact, because of the major support of our partners and the business and everything. but we cannot get into the city in order to get into the city and to deliver humanitarian aid. there we need the humanitarian cody door, which hasn't been successful for almost 2 weeks. that is why we cannot replenish our supply from other parts or ukraine, somebody you know, that that's the problem. and the reuters news agency has quoted ukranian officials actually using russia blocking. there's

a convoy into the city. is there anything to that? yes, it's true. the there is a big humanitarian convoy, which is also supported by the ukrainian red cross with teams on the way to many people. but we cannot get there, and we are stuck in a pretty shitty gin and we're not allowed into the city with the big military. and when fortunately, so get an accurate figures on the number of tests and number of people won't. it is very difficult. what's your assessment of the situation across the country right now? well, i can, i can not give you the figures and because we're not making these particular assessment, i can only say that a couple of days ago, the official report that figure for people was around 2 point 52202005 100 people did, but over the news we can hear that a local a 40 to say the sticker might be much bigger than even 10 times bigger than that.

of course, deputy director of ukrainian red cross. thank you very much. thank you very much. in moscow, the dissenting journalists stormed the set of rushes most last evening. news show on the monday, holding an anti war sign. marina of sunny co editor of the state controlled outlet channel, one was clearly visible behind the anchor before the broadcast cast away from the studio. supposed to read no war, stop the war, don't believe the propaganda. they are lying to you here. the journalist was then detained and human rights activists say they are unable to get in touch with her before her arrest. she released the video statement 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 brainwashing 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 of aline. we silently watched this inhumane regime. and now the entire world has turned away from us. most of 10 more, future generations won't wash out the shame of this fratricidal war upon it. the beast, and that's a good to a more on this from the w. corresponded emily, sherwin who was reported from margie w. moscow bureau on to it will shut down by the russian government. emily, what will do we know about this? is stacy the journalist that we just saw. but we know that maria of santa cova was seemingly detained. we know that lawyers from a pretty well known human rights law law collective have been trying to find her trying to get in touch with her. and so far they haven't been able to the kremlin spokesperson to meet the p. scoff called her to day a hooligan, and there are media reports that the investigative committee in russia has now

maybe begun an investigation into this adage, her, i'm under a new law that was passed quite recently on spreading fakes about russian soldiers and about the war. and if she is convicted under that law, again, we're waiting to hear confirmation about that those reports. but if she is convicted, that can mean that she could face up to 15 years in prison. so this move was really a brave one. i'm. i'm sure that she knew, ah, what she faced, what she could potentially face. now we've been hearing from day one of this and vision, the russians. i've been getting the full picture from, especially from the state run tv channels. do you think that's gonna change? i don't think ah, it's going to change. i think it's going to get harder and harder to get information and even, you know, with this protest that we just saw that poster that the woman was holding up. various media outlets did bored about that, but they actually had to blur her poster. and they were only allowed to say that she, you know, protested for pacifism,

essentially because they're not allowed to use the word word war. and of course, her poster had the, the word war on it. the official line on this war is that it's a special operation where no civilians are being targeted and, you know, saying it's getting get harder and harder. it already has gotten harder and harder to read any critical media outlets. many have already been blocked within russia. many critical journalists have had to leave the country. facebook and instagram have also been blocked. you can access some of these sites using a vpn, which means that you essentially are hiding your i p address of pretending that your computer is located in a different country, not in russia, but of course not every note. every one knows about that kind of technology, maybe can't be bothered to dig for information, and there's also a lot of fear. i think there have been reports that people are getting their phones the are getting stopped on the streets for police to just look at their phones, look at the messages that they're sending to their friends. and so i think it's going to get harder and harder on, you know,

with the coming weeks and months. so very spooky and, but also many people across the country, especially older people across the country are relying on the traditional media on steady state. no television, news and, and radio, for example, a to a good, a good, the full picture of this was or know that get. and so how much support does putin have for this war in the population? at the moment you are saying they rely on state media. in fact, so much so that we're hearing reports that relatives, you know, people in ukraine are telling their relatives back in russia about what's happening . and they simply don't believe them. now surveys by one government pollster a show that around 68 percent of people support this so called special operation and independent analysts. i spoke to put that number at more like 50 percent. of course, it's hard to know because you know, if you get a call on the phone from someone you don't know asking you whether you support

a special operation that's happening at the moment or not. you probably are likely to just say yes, especially if you're afraid of potential consequences. there are, of course, opponents to this war, despite the strong propaganda we've seen in recent weeks, continuous protests against the war and also a strong crack down on those protests, up to 15000 people have been arrested at anti war protests. and i think people like maria might enough shaniqua the journalist. you know, she'll be an example for people, you know, to instill peer fear and people i think, as well going forward. emily sherman, thank you very much for this of you and says, 3 minute 1000000 people have now fled the war in ukraine, but some ukrainians living abroad have made their way back into the country since the beginning of the russian assault. more than 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 in neighboring countries, these ukrainians want to return home to defend and support their country. brandon, i will go back and help. i'm a health worker and the hospitals need more hands. i want to stay until the end of the comes up is i'm 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. the other have shook ramos. 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 as other so 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. in the netherlands, a charity concert has raised more than a 140000 euros to help civilians in ukraine. the event was

a co production by the dutch national opera, the national ballet and the philharmonic orchestra. as well as money. the concert generated some much needed hope. ah, the concert was the brainchild of chief conductor lorenzo v o t o. we'll have to raise our voices more and more for those cars. and yeah, i'm very, very proud that this house answer to, to my, to my question, to say, guys we need to, we need to stand all together for that now. now immediately, it's highlight a do at teaching parenting maxine as a raincoat originally from t. ah, he was accompanied by russian pianist, you that unkind skia the non time colleagues have refused to let the conflict come

between visit of 33. we're still friends either, sir. hi, i'm very grateful that our friendship is they'll leave as strong as it was all the for the walk. all can with him. mm. me. sorry and crazy. i mean meanwhile, the polish the cheque and this lavine and prime ministers are on their way to keith . 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, 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 boundary. he goes east anywhere the european union's headquarters in brussels for us bent. that's a very high level delegation,

the ever, what are these 3 prime ministers bring with them other than words of support? well, basically they bring this message of solidarity. the polish prime minister also issued a statement before you enter the train in vasa, and he says, in such triggered times for the world, it's our duty to beaver history is forged and but they don't have a 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 1st 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 coded jets or a no fly zone in, in their 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 that you 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 said, 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 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 now see if that plays out. because as you have reported already, you keith is under shelling and there are very high risk to this trouble. and we will see when the strain returns did not mean of course on a battle ego. there for us, thanks for this update. germany has announced its beefing up its air force with dozens of us made f 35 stealth fighter jets. they'll be replacing germany's aging fleet of tornado fighter bombers, which are currently the only plans of the german air force certified to carry nato nuclear weapons. germany's air force commander said russia actions in ukraine left knoll tentative germany's blunders. may i have been flying these tornado jets for 40 years. they are still operational. i'll be at 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. now is our critical, but after carefully considering all options on the table, i have decided to start procuring f 35 jet to fulfill our nuclear sharing obligations implies a heights like t s 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 oh here it's, i think we're sending the right signal. but we chosen a system that's available on the market to accelerate the modernization of our armed forces after the sliding and choosing the a 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 been this way i 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 totally recent discussions about defense on a 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 colson mostly garlan dish and a lot to lose and often encounter with its decision to purchase the f. 30 fives germany is embarking on a new path. for now, the blended. 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. that so look, now some of the other stories are making headlines around the world today. russian prosecutors are seeking an additional 13 year jail term for the opposition leader

just in case their community suddenly locked down a bit. out of the vast majority of china's infections or in the northeast england province, a full lockdown has been implemented there. although infections are rising, the official numbers are by no means dramatic at present. still, the 0 covert strategy persists with major cities being shuttered. concerns are mounting over whether the economy can withstand the closures in the capital, beijing, a lockdown is edging closer and frustration is growing. id, i can't understand what's happening in other cities. the measures were fairly successful. and now it's starting all over again. when will it? and the highly contagious on the kron variant is testing the limits of china's 0 cove at strategy. more than 2 years into the pandemic. you watching t w. c. as
