destruction of the nation this week long d w ah, this is the w y for lane keep and is a 35 our curfew after russia steps up its bombardment of the city. the new strikes on residential areas of the ukrainian capital cause death and destruction mer. vitaly clench goes, says it's a difficult and dangerous moment. we'll also report from the besieged port of mario paul, where traumatized residents are running out of food and water, and many thousands remain trapped.

ah, i'm fo gail welcome to the program. keith has just entered a 35 hour curfew following several strikes on residential areas of the ukrainian capital. today, the cities mass, as at least 4 people, were killed in a rush and strike the tape fis, 16 story apartment block. the facts came just hours before the resumption of peace talks between ukrainian and russian representatives. despite an increase in fighting around the cities, north western suburbs, major road and trade routes after the capital are still open. more than half of the 3000000 inhabitants are flat since the offensive began. as russia steps up, it's bombardment of the capital maritally clinico made this announcement. jordan is robbed me in the booth space today is a difficult and dangerous moment commander heavy according to the decision of the

military command from today. march 15th from 20100 hours. the curfew is established in keith. several movement through the city is prohibited without special passes. we can only go out to reach a shelter. the curfew will apply until 7 am on march 7 to rumble. simon, therefore, i asked her all keep residents to prepare for the fact that they will have to be a home for 2 days, or in the case of an alarm in shelter. i was assume overdue, oil gritty, the prime ministers of poland, slovenia, and the czech republic of arrived in keith by trade in what they're calling a show of support from ukraine's you allies in an official statement, a check, a prime minister. petra fiala said the purpose of the visit is to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire european union, the sovereignty and independence of ukraine. well, high ranking

a european union officials, voice concern of the security risk of this trip and said the 3 leaders were acting independently. meanwhile, negotiations between ukrainian and russian representatives resumed to day dw matessa. bollinger and keith has more on have people in the country seeing those talks. well, of course, people hope that these fighting's will end and that there will be peace again. but the question is, what can be achieved in these talks? are the 2 countries have very different takes on what's happening here? or 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 a ukraine is of course, demanding that those troops that have invaded the country withdraw. 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 their talks 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 are very loud. um, but this is definitely not what the ukrainian side is is. this is definitely not the outcome that will lay 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. but he is pulling her in cave while he was there. he visited one of the residential areas hit by shelling on monday. he met an elderly woman who said, she's already lived through a war. yes,

love no. fiona anchor has been sitting outside her apartments 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 little this is it. one were in another small one and the kitchen. that's what it was. it was 5 am when a shall hit the house with the he is that there was a loud bang and then immediately feel some kind of white snake look back in the eyes and the throat of the door. and then i heard the fire fighters in the corridor saying, don't go out in the staircase is gone, the, it's of yet. so they had me climb down on a fire fighters ladder. that will be 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. yes, lana is 83 years old. this is the 2nd war she has experienced her early childhood memories are of world war 2. like i feel very bad. i'm tired. 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. will ukrainian authority say humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to leave

besieged? cities are partially opened to day. officials in mario pulse about 2000 civilian cars are left along one route. but ukraine has again accused russia of blocking a convoy a trying to get aid to people inside the city, where the situation is becoming increasingly desperate. in a 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 knew 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 your heavy sheylan has destroyed homes.

supermarkets in hospitals and mario poll. miss adams 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 ward for the deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in ukrainian cities knew the whole world. please, what is happening, mary? of all i do believe footage 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 aide 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 poll, residence and aid is on its way. i did a deal with one of your only new car convoys with humanitarian cargo were promptly formed and immediately sent you. the 1st convoy has already arrived and maria paul and delivered 450 tons of medical supplies, essentials, and food, including baby food, going at their mercy for information. not a w is unable to verify legion. i remember her deals. im, when you know you mean while fighting on the ground shows no sign of abating we can take a quick look at some more development sir. in this war, ukraine's president vladimir savanski has accepted that his country cannot join nato and a virtual address to the canadian parliament. he described it as the truth. we must

recognize. a fox news cameraman has been killed after his vehicle came under fire outside cave. same attack left, a network correspondent, wounded, and the e. u has launched a 4th round of sanctions against russia banning investment in the russian energy sector. the export of luxury goods to moscow and steel imports from russia. nato will hold an extraordinary summit next week to address how to respond to the war in ukraine. u. s. president joe biden's, also expected to attend. secretary general against dalton berg says the military alliance is looking to change its security posture in europe, following the russian invasion. speaking ahead of the defense ministers meeting to morrow, he saw he also repeated concerns that russia might use chemical weapons. for months we have exposed russia's long list of lies. they claimed they did not plan to invade ukraine,

but they did. they claim that they were withdrawing their troops. but the sent in even more. they claim to be protecting civilians, but they are killing civilians. now they are making absorbed claims about biological labs and chemical weapons in ukraine. this is just an old ally and we are concerned that moscow could stage a false flag operation, possibly including chemical weapons against all to vote. while the w corresponding terry shows attended that press conference and nato headquarters. and she told me more about what mr. stolt about had to say, secretary general stilton berg was extremely blunt in his warning to moscow that it had better not think of using chemical weapons. this is

a big concern that the secretary general brought up over the weekend in a newspaper interview. and his language was remarkably blunt in calling out the russian allegations that ukraine is, is producing chemical and biological weapons as absolute lies. and this is not something you normally hear from the political head of an organization. so it appears that that evidence is growing, that moscow may really be planning to do this. and that's something that, of course, concerns the alliance greatly because chemical weapons are, of course, something that may not stay within the borders of ukraine. that's something that worries the alliance because it is determined to, to stop the conflict at, at the nato border. so that was really what struck me most about the press conference today. he of course, is also asked about what more the alliance may do to help ukraine. and the line remains for now that they will protect every inch of native territory, but still are not willing to intervene inside ukraine. social's. now, new york metropolitan opera has held a concert in support of ukraine, wasn't 3 and

a half 1000 people filled. the granddaughter tore him and the lincoln center. this is a week after performances by russian soprano. anna, anna, the trip co were canceled over her refusal to condemn the war all proceeds from the sold out concert, which was broadcast internationally including to ukraine. oh, go towards relief works. oh, a pretty new crane. from the heart of new york, the piece was composed by ukrainian valentine sylvester of in 2014 the year of another crisis. for the mets general manager, pete again, the concert was the only fitting response to the current conflict. tonight, we were all soldiers of music wielding the power of art into french, in defense of a free and democratic ukraine. gal message was shared by guest devona ukraine's ambassador to the un, the metropolitan opera, there's a global standing reputation,
