5:07 pm
we hear positive signs from the talks between ukrainian or russian negotiators. i'm what are you hearing you positive about what you've heard? you know, and personally me, of course we are trying to do diplomatically everything we can. but personally me with, with the experience sell for 12 years leaving during pupils in europe or jim in moscow. i didn't trust you guys, and they are not going to find the diplomatic decision. now, i'm just trying to start the hunger in mario. and we, we see this goal clearly. and by the way, it was the difference between hunger for one of one sort of being and people and also it's or to abilene car or new use and knew what the difference is much more during the war if you believe that negotiations are not being held in good
5:08 pm
faith, what do you believe that the russian purpose is in attending them? the russian purpose is the same. they want the same, they want. you know, the idea is that ukraine doesn't exist and ukraine and nation doesn't exist. they really, they really believe i. when i lived in moscow, not only you know, government, just ordinary people, that's a lot ukraine. you don't have economy, you don't have stock market. you have funding language. what i would talk about your, your country is a joke. and that's and that's, it's huge in russia. so that's the whole political now government, things like this. and they want us to capitulate, they want off to, you know, to change our state and change with states. course the 2 european union genay 2. and they want us to become a president the last address, the german parliament. today, he was very critical in his speech of germany's actions in the run up to this war.
5:09 pm
what more do you think germany should be doing? the german, the have to stop and even possible way to stop by and rush and gas because the germany is sponsoring this war. and the germany, it was a country who blocked weapons that supports, i mean was weapons supplier. and for him for a very long time and you blocked it. and if we had these weapons before that we had them did, now we would have a totally different situation. so germany, in its fear all fall off for taken parts in the war. i didn't, i haven't seen and i didn't understand that that's put in, isn't you hitler. and germany decided to make the same mistake. but another way, you know, not having the dictator and money,
5:10 pm
but tolerating the dictator and money. and we are really happy that germany change its german change of mind. but you know, we would like you would you did it before. well, thank you so much for joining us and outlining your position for so clearly. demetrius go in a member of the canadian parliament state, say well, despite those attacks on the merrier paula, the escalating attacks across the country. russia is struggling to take cities like the capital keith, the w alex forest whiting, has an update on the progress of the war. as the war enters its fault week, russia continues its advance across ukraine from the south east and the north. well, let's look 1st at the capital key, which is a city that russian needs to take control of if it is to win this war. but that is proving more difficult than anticipated. it appears that advancing forces have a face significant logistical problem,
5:11 pm
such as running out of fuel and food. now you may remember there was a 60 kilometer russian army column that was moving towards the capital from the west vall that is now dispersed, but artillery and rocket launchers have moved to within range of the capitol. and ukrainian forces have been putting up a strong fight against those. and even earlier this week, president zalinski created a new joint military civilian headquarter, which would be responsible for defending the capital. now if we look at ukraine as a whole, we can see these shaded areas which show where russian forces announced that to be in control. and they're all pretty much around the russian border with ukraine. the main city that has fallen into russian hands and that fell just a week after russia invaded was the city of kirsten down in the south. but there have been reports this week that the ukranian army has now started launching counter attacks,
5:12 pm
including on carson air base. so we will watch this closely about much more of ukraine as we've been hearing is under heavy bombardment from air land and sea. and that includes the cities of mario poll. don't ask and car keys. and as we've been seeing, the port city of mario pole is surrounded by russian forces. and yet somehow ukrainian troops are holding out. and the city, although it is in ruins, has not yet been taken, but the bonds do keep falling, such as on that theater in the city that was acting as a shelter for hundreds, the civilians in shooting children. and we still don't know the number of casualties there is also heavy fighting in don't ask and around that region and remember russian back separatist. how much of that territory, even before the february invasion and ukraine 2nd biggest city car cave, is still fighting for its life. the city has been heavily bombed,
5:13 pm
including with the use of russian cruise missiles. and there are claims that even cluster bombs have been used to target residential areas. their civilian deaths are set to top 500 in the city that's according to emergency services there. although they say that the number could actually be much higher. so despite talk of a peace deal at the moment, this war is only escalating alex farce white or take a look at some more developments in the conflict or an apartment to block in the crane and capital cave caught fire after was hit by the remnants of a down russian rocket emergency services say at least one person was killed, and 3 others injured firefighters, a fire fighters evacuated people from the top floors of the building and extinguish the place. russian president vladimir putin has urged russian businesses to start operating in crimea saying they have nothing to fear from western sanctions. crimea
5:14 pm
economy is suffering from the tough sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine, russia annex the peninsula in 2014. i should be a month later, secretary general against dalton berg says the alliance must prevent the conflict in you cried from escalating. he was speaking following talks with german chancellor, olaf, sholtes, and berlin chancellor shell, to reiterate, that nato would not intervene militarily when he promised ukraine, or humanitarian and financial aid. for president savanski, i delivered a sharply critical address to german lawmakers today when his speech delivered via video link, he said germany had enable to russia's invasion of his country by becoming dependent on russian energy imports. he also accused the country's political class of failing to recognize the growing russian threat and called for, for more action to end the war. his country is not far from germany,
5:15 pm
and it is being destroyed by war. in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities ross or is committing in ukraine the over the past 3 weeks. many people have been killed thousands of ukrainians. the occupiers have killed 108 children in the middle of europe, in the year 2022 blighted lot. to develop a lever heads in hands as german lawmakers listened for 11 minutes to zalinski speaking live from ukraine. you. the ukranian president did not means his words more strongly criticising berlin for continuing to import gas and oil from russia. assembled, zip is nearly is le fancy, which we some measures were taken to late. these sanctions have not been enough to stop for war, is that we're seeing just how many connections your companies still have lying with russia, with
5:16 pm
a country that is using you and other countries to finance this wall. i have these past 3 weeks of wall to the we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that, that it is levine than us that she does than us. isabella will never zelinski adds germany to do more, to support ukraine. if not, europe would not survive, he warned, would not be able to keep its values. he, he called what ukraine sees as a lack of proper support from berlin, a new wall between germany and ukraine. glitchy at or is there a former comedian actor and then president of the united states of ronald reagan once said you mister president, tear down with the small la antlers. let me tell you again. who in chancellor sholtes please break down this wall live here in germany. the
5:17 pm
realm of leadership said you deserve, and your future generations will be proud of you might be doing get them at least support us support please support each and every ukrainian stop the war. he, when it but the german government had said before the speech that it would not formally respond. and so the session ended with a standing ovation for the ukrainian president and with german lawmakers left to digest an inconveniences. while our reporter from d w political correspondent, hands branch, who joins us now. welcome hans present salenti. he really did not hold back with his criticisms of germany's political class. his indeed is not someone to mince his words and after all, he is a spirit speaking as a president was literally under fire under siege in his capital. so for him, it's not the time for diplomacy. in fact, zalinski, even before the war started,
5:18 pm
was not somebody to winced his words. he's always been very director in the demands . he's made especially of western countries. but we have to see that the criticism concerned very largely the previous german government, the government of angular medical because it concerned are the things that germany had done or had failed to do in the years. leading up to this, a situation leading up to this russian aggression and ukraine, for instance, the building of that gas pipeline between russia and germany, the north stream pine, the north stream pipeline. so it was something directed at germany as a whole, not necessarily only or directly, most 2, most directly at the current government. right. and is it likely therefore, do you think to change anything? will it change germany's position on sanctions or even, or even the no fly zone? well, obviously germany has been implementing all the international sanctions that have
5:19 pm
been decided on an international level. they really are only sanctions left outstanding that would involve cutting off to europe from supplies of gas and oil from russia, in other words, boycotting russian supplies of oil and gas. and this is something that's very controversial in the whole of europe and in germany too, because large parts of this continent are dependent on those supplies. germany has said that it wants to reduce its dependence on russian supplies of oil and gas as quickly as possible. but that is not possible immediately that it will take some time. so those sanctions are not likely to be implemented as far as the no fly zone is concerned. that's something that savanski has been to marketing. for instance. also in his address to the united states congress, that is something that nato, that has to say it has say, is not on is not going to happen. because it would involve a diary concentration between nato and the russians. and that's something that
5:20 pm
everybody here wants to avoid. we told everybody that i've given him a standing ovation. does that, does that mean that the speech was well received or has there been sort of behind the scenes criticism? i think you have to say that that was a politeness, if not, not much more than politeness. i think both the standing ovations when serena he started speaking and after his speech was finished. and there has been, some dispute about how reactions should have been towards his speech. the parliament itself hadn't had no discussion, no further discussion on sir lensky speech. and that had been decided beforehand. the foreign minister on the lena barbara had said that parliament should listen to these words. let's should let them sink in and not have a debate and which a soleski statements would be kind of torn up in political debate. but what actually happened was that the conservative opposition tried to change the agenda
5:21 pm
of that session and try to impose a current, a debate about zalinski speech that was blocked by other parties. so in fact, in parliament had ended in some acrimonious exchanges between the various political parties, which in the end did not leave such a good picture of german parliament after the speech. i thank you, that hansa w political correspondent, husband quick look at a couple of stories away from the war and to british. iranian citizens of arrived back in the u. k. after years of detention in iran. last name's gary radcliffe, on a new ship assuring touch down in england early on thursday. i'd been accused of threatening the radiant state claims, which i did not have a release came after long running negotiations between the british and iranian government. powerful earthquake has struck ne japan killing at least 4 people an injury more than 100. the $7.00 magnitude event at the focus. she meant region
