effects the war even being felt in space. we'll port on how the conflict could impact cooperation on the international space station. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. the ukranian lawmakers reporting that more than a 100 people have been rescued from a bombed fiercer in the besieged city of mario. all the building was sheltering. one hundreds of civilians including children when it was shelled by russian forces . president vall, automated savanski, says this was one of a number of attacks on civilians in the past 24 hours and is called for more international assistance to defend his country. an ex report contains some distressing images, smoke bellows from the theatre mario paul, after it was hit by a bon days before

a satellite image showed the russian white for children, written in large white letters at both ends of the building. but that did not stop it being targeted when, when you really bla god, the more money blockaded maria poll ivy and russian plain intentionally dropped a super powerful mom on a drama theater in the city said hundreds of people were hiding there. all shelling in all the building is destroyed. the number of casualties is not yet no give their hibler sion navy dall. across my appall, similar images of devastation. ma, some forces have perceived the city for over a week now cutting off civilians from food, water, electricity, and medical supply of unlikely. alum, this local hospital has to operate with constant shelling around it.

inside a desperate scene unfolds civilians lay injured and medical staff. do what they can, we will. oh no. with those who who couldn't be saved have been taken to the basement and covered and blankets with this little one. and he lived 22 days before he dined. right now, there is no more where they can store the bodies, brother. sure. but the most of them all the other hospitals have been bombed and no one can collector. here there's no emergency services, there's nobody jer, i don't know where we would put them. how we will burrage them, are you only a few have been able to escape mario pole. that even last, not safe. ukrainian authority say russian forces were on a convoy fling. maria poll leaving several people injured

as jointly, doubly correspondent nika connelly in vain in no western. you crying. welcome, nick. i will present zalinski in that report saying the attack on the shelter. mary of all was deliberate. is there any way this could have been a mistake? well, as we understand this was caused by a bomb that was dropped by a plane above. now obviously, there are lots of expert source good now lying up to give their kind of their view on this. i think generally that, that the big picture in this war is that increasingly old fashioned and in precise weapons are being used. lots of shilling, lots of basically 20 such weapons. we've seen that the russian semi are running out of cruise missiles and the more expensive and more precise weaponry that would make it easier to avoid civilian casualties. and obviously in situation where fighting is happening in urban areas and not in the countryside, not in the open, as civilian casualties are increasingly a problem. as for mary, paul well of the ukrainian side is convinced that this was

a deliberate attack and of civil you've seen those images of the big sign on the ground outside saying children, i think it's a bit early to be able to kind of exclude a mistake but definitely, the student marable is dire, and it seems that the russians are trying to make situation for civilians as difficult as possible in the hope that those civilians would then put pressure on the ukrainian defenders the city to given. because for now, marable has been holding up from fall longer than anyone had expected in situation where people are without power, without heating the electricity, and often without some of our phone connection. we have heard in recent hours though, that it seems like at least some of the people in that shelter under the fair to have survived in an hour trying to get out from exits that haven't been covered by debris. so a little bit of good news, can we have a mobile in the past few hours? okay, thanks for that. where you are there in levine, that the situation looks a lot karma. what's going on there? well, definitely leave does. sometimes if you kind of blink, you can kind of hardly believe this country at war,

but still there are air raid sirens that go off here. every couple of hours, most people here leave will have spent a few hours last night in a bomb shelter on their cellar. i think the attack by russia on a military base, which is even further west than been closer to the, to the polish border law. we can, that really brought home, the fact that no, any crane is now safe from those russian missiles. and those missiles were, were fired over the black seas. those were a long distance missiles that killed, we believe about $35.00, a military personnel on that base. so there isn't a feeling that there is really anywhere that is not somehow vulnerable to those rush attacks. but definitely this is a place where people are seeking safety and where people have come from kia, from hot give, from our bowl, from across the country to try and find some kind of normality and to work out if they can stay in their country. or if for the sake of their families, they have to move for the western, become refugees in poland. roy elsewhere in the u. yes. that, that, that was going to be my next question. really living are they listed seeing that as

a staging post all or so my to to stay until they can perhaps go home again? we're really depends. i mean if you're a man between age of 18 and 60, you can't leave. that is, that is just fact, you know, there is a band on men leaving country right now. they're not all being mobilized than all being forced into the military. but you can't leave the country. and we've seen very prominent ukrainians being caught trying to escape illegally hiding in suitcases or in under boxes. i am trying to bribe a border officials to be let out. so for men, this is the end of the road. as for it pensioners or women and children, they always have the option to come to the u. the u has been literally generous to was ukraine, refugees, a very noted early, there's 3 different approach than to refugees from other conflict. so it is quite easy and we've seen countries as far away as portugal in ireland, inviting ukraine's to come and spend time in safety until things settle down here. i think a lot you can businesses, they are very desperate to stay in the country and to not give up their operations . ukraine has a booming i t sector, lots of those companies now here and we've,

we're is more vibrant and more lively than i've ever seen. it certainly, and lots the cars you see here are from across the country. and it's kind of nervous, attempt to kind of find some kind of normality and this was about the economic to this. ukraine's economy is basically shut down a recent weeks and a above and beyond the huge destruction emitter out the cranes infrastructure to its roads, to its bridges. if all these taxpayers of all these been says suddenly leave the country on top of several 1000000, mainly younger people than ukraine's future. if it does end up winning this war is in dire straits. i think there is an attempt to try and cry and get back some kind of morality at least here and to keep things going for the for the weeks months. once this conflict is over. ok, nick, thank you for that. nick connelly livin west new crime would take a look at some more developments and this conflict apartment block in the ukrainian capital. keith caught fire after was hit by the remnants of a down russian rocket emergency services. at least one person was killed and 3 others injured fighters evacuated people from the top floors of the building and

a sharply critical address to german lawmakers today in his speech delivered via video link. he said germany had enabled russians invasion of his country by becoming dependent on russian energy in ports. he also accused germany's political class of failing to recognize the growing russian threat and call for more action to end the war. his country is not far from germany, and it is being destroyed by war. in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities. russia is committing in ukraine. the 3rd bill is only 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 blessed lord, said raoul, there were heads in hands as german lawmakers listened for 11 minutes to zalinski speaking life from ukraine. the ukranian president did not means his words more

strongly criticising berlin for continuing to import gas and oil from russia. a simpleton, zip is near, is less fancy. which of the 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 store have. i'm with russia, with a country that is using you and other countries to finance this war. i have these past 3 weeks of walls there. we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that, that it is navine, then us as she does and as a stop order. 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 president. oh, it's

a former comedian actor. and then president of the united states, but ronald reagan once said you mister president, tear down with the small law. and let me tell you again, who in chancellor schultz, please brecht on this war lead. if germany, the road of leadership said you deserve shall, and your future generations will be proud of you in my table. it really, it really please 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 inconvenient truth. well that her secretary journal against dalton,

burke says the alliance must prevent the conflict in ukraine from escalating. he was speaking following talks with german chancellor, olaf shots in berlin. afterwards he met german foreign minister on a bareback, and i haven't joined to press conference. i hear some of what they had to say. this approach the angle shows let this attack the aggression is an attack on the liberty of the people in ukraine. and that makes it a war against our values. a war against our european liberty, mississippi, and this threat is one that we need to take seriously as an alliance done. and we need to ensure that we are prepared. and this is why the german government, we decided yesterday on top of the 100000000000 ears that we're going to put on top of what we're already spending on our defense capability today. and we are strengthening the eastern borders of the alliance with german armed forces in

bundeswehr to have a responsibility to, to ensure that this conflict, us not escalate beyond ukraine. that would be even more devastating and more dangerous. we are facing a new reality. so we must also read seth our, the tenants on the fence for the longer term. and we have already started addressing this in, nate thought, reinforcing our defenses with will require increased the fence investments. germany is leading by example, including with major increases to the budget on your decision to invest in 5th generation aircraft. i really, wal. com, a germany is tireless efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis in ukraine, including your governance direct contacts with the kremlin. will have busy

a day here in berlin for the german government. let's get more on it from the w. i political correspondence, simon young. welcome, simon. we'll start with the secretary general, the german foreign minister, both very much singing from the same song sheet. absolutely, it was a meeting demons demonstrating the essential role of germany within nato. it's a key country, an important country, as it goes, as i said, again today. and so they were, as you say, putting out the same message that germany is doing what it can, it stands ready to increase its military support. and it's done that already to a considerable degree for ukraine. but also obviously nature has this project of as they call it, strengthening their easton flank, putting more boots on the ground and equipment and general preparedness.
