ah, i paid for is all and welcome. russia has lodge devastating you attacks against targets in ukraine. dozens of ukrainian soldiers were killed in a missile strike on a military base in michel i of, in the south. it's one of the deadliest attacks on a ukrainian military target since the start of the war. and it's fear the death toll could by significant late authority say an art school in the southern city of mighty opal. it has also been bond. hundreds of people is said to have sold shelter there. and many a now trapped in the rubble rushes army has been trying to capture the strategic cities the aftermath of a russian missile attack. and nikolai of it's believed $200.00 soldiers were inside . at the time, the base was struck. rescuers raced to find survivors in the rubble,

but are forced to seek safety. when an air raid siren rings out the constant threat of bombardment, his forced people here under ground ideas that was lovely. i can't tell you how scared we are. we will live in the cellar now. when the bombs hit the army base, everything shook to the east. russians are pushing deeper into the besieged city of mario pole. ukraine says 90 percent of the city has been damaged or destroyed by russian bombardment. it's thought over a 1000. people were sheltering inside this theatre when it was destroyed by a russian strike. hundreds are still missing. the city has no heat, water or power. the mayor said that fighting in the city center made rescue mission impossible. those who were able to flee said the situation was desperate.

immediately, but we sat in the basement for 10 days without getting outside even once. we didn't have water or electricity. luckily we could use our neighbors bomb shelter when he's on those of us. and he was anyway, i could never imagine that a bomb would hit house next to mine, that my district will be literally wiped out. these the outskirts of the city were simply destroyed. and then i realized there were no safe places in the city any more, which will attribute boston in a potential escalation. russia says it's used a hypersonic missile for the 1st time in combat in ukraine. the missile shown here, and footage from the defense ministry has a range of up to 2000 kilometers and is difficult to intercept. unfortunately, it may be, they case sir, but very important. yes, you're drawing attention that they did. they fired this hypersonic. i me south, which means that most likely, they are testy in the, you know, they so kind of weapons and as well as other you weapon on the, the ukrainian territory. so, unfortunately, and this might be the case in further,

they operations. ukraine's president has called for peace talks, but russia's war machine shows no signs of stopping. they w corresponded they connolly joins us from live in boston. ukraine. nick, what can you tell us about this strike on the ukrainian military base at mc goliath where we have 1st few details because in times of war at the cranial thirty's, al, keeping all these details very tightly under wraps. this military sent ship hearing crane as there is on the russian side. but we know that because i have is the scene of pretty intense fighting some of the most intense fighting you've seen in recent weeks here. it's a key city on the way to a desa ukraine's biggest port on the black sea. the russian seemingly trying to cut ukraine off from its anti coastline. it's already almost done that in the see of as of oni marble holding out. so the next target would be a desa without which ukraine is very am in a very difficult placement of economically into the export in terms of getting

supplies to fuel the future. so a lot of fighting going on that had seemed, in recent days, like the ukrainians were actually pushing the russian forces back back towards, had sold the only major russian city that the ukraine's to rather the russians had taken so far. but now it seems an uptick in russian activity in the air and using rushes at predominance in the skies to bomb this military facility. and if the reports marrying are correct, then significant casualties, indic alive among those ukrainian soldiers. i mentioned the, the main port city of monte open before. what's the latest you're hearing about the fighting that which seeing extraordinary depressing, sad images marble city as one of its residents who i was able to reach told me just isn't there any more the city is gone. mary poll is no more. that's what he had to say. at least i am pretty difficult to give more in the way of detail here. basically no independent journalist on the ground, but she, military catastrophe, certainly people there without power, without heating, without reliable food supplies. now for weeks,

people are beginning to get out some of those humanitarian corridors that had failed in recent weeks and now happening. but it's all pretty celtic multiple. i spoke to told me they just got in their car and there was no coordination. they were just able to get out, so there wasn't any coordinated and route out by bus. they just got in the car, had heard that it was possible and didn't even meet any russian or ukrainian checkpoints until they'd got a couple of 100 kilometers away. so that gives you a sense for quite how chaotic situation is on the ground. some people lucky enough to get out. and but lots people not wanting to risk being attacked on the way out, and just hunkering down their sellers for further days to come. and i understand it's difficult to get a reliable information. but what about these accusations from the city administration of mary opposite her rations have been abducting several 1000 people from that city and bring them to russia. my definitely seems less than what we've heard from people down the ground that out of certain parts of the city, those pot city that are closer to where the russian forces are based,

where the russians have more sway weights, very difficult to get to ukrainian held. but the city that those who facie there in the auction out is to leave via russian control territory and that busy people are not being given the choice if they want to. to head wester was greenhill turkey, that they say they're being told you are only what option now is to lead towards russia. we've heard reports of the russians than organizing camps on russian territory to then busy, or go through these people to work out who they are, to work out if they're gonna allow them to stay in russia. or if these are people who may be a ukrainian or loyalist as it were, people who've served in ukraine's mich in the past. sort of a fear airlines, people marable, that if they have served new friends military, if they have been active, you're going to politics. that if they ended up being taken to rush against their will, that they will facing differently negative consequences for themselves. so, a lot of uncertainty of worry there marable and other people who are still trying to get out. but don't know how and what about the situation where you are in live? well, the live is a city that is just full to the brim with refugees from across the country. you see,

number plates with numbers from and plates from across the country had different key of from odessa. so it's basically impossible get a hotel room and apartment, lots of people trying to head towards europe towards the through leave, but of cement between ages of 18. 60 aren't allowed to leave right now. so this is basically the end of the line for them. lots of men here trying to work out, they can still make a living of so ukraine's economic situation is very difficult. but equally often now, they're not being called up as a full mobilization. only people who have combat experience are being pulled up. she kinsmen, chief now, so lots people just waiting, trying to work out what to do. wondering whether to send their families west to safety in the you or to stay together here and very tense to especially since in recent days we have seen air attacks on targets here leaf. so the sense that there is no way really on ukrainian church that is fully safe from russian attacks right now. they can only thank you very much for the update. and russia

says it has again used hypersonic missiles in combat for the 2nd day in a row. moscow is the kid child miss are seen here in a test firing can travel up to 2000 kilometers at several times, the speed of sound, allowing them to evade defense systems. ukrainian president. flor mr. lensky has accused russia deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine. he repeated his appeal for direct talks with russian president vladimir putin. science. he said negotiations would not be pleasant or easy, but the necessary ansolaski also called on nestle to cut ties with russia in an address to an anti will protest in this with capital ban. this was company is under pressure to suspend sales in rush, or after ukraine's prime minister accused the food firm of helping to finance the killing of women and children and the leaders of india and japan of cold for an immediate halt to the violence. and you can depend fully oak is shita, had urged, no rent, remote to take

a tougher line on russia's invasion after india abstained in you went votes condemning its invasion. but the joint statement fell short of criticizing moscow's action. we will let this will be final, the japanese fight. nato is currently sending more troops to its eastern border. the u. s. alone will soon have more than 100000 troops across all of europe presents not seen on the continent in almost 20 years. and it's not just on land american ships are underway in european waters, including the aircraft carrier, harry s truman dw steven beardsley was on board the ship in the mediterranean sea. the constant wine of jet engines, day and night, aboard this carrier, the u. s. as harry s. truman lodges f, a 18 super horn. it's like these daily to patrol nato's eastern flank for stray russian jets. there are fewer in the sky with nato partners and remain on station for hours underneath command. it's a level coordination. the alliance has been practicing for decades today with an

urgency below decks, the pressure is always high. now the chance of an encounter with russian aircraft added to it. yes, it's in the back of our mind, but i think that the level of training we've gotten, and our expectations relative to our rules of engagement is such that we're in a position to, to really deal with whatever comes with the truman is more than air power it's accompanied by missile carrying destroyers, almost certainly a submarine, thousands of sailors work to keep operations going. they've been at sea for months, and no one knows how long the deployment will last. carriers like the truman are classic symbol of us and nato power projection. the ability to deliver military might almost that will around the world for nato members. that's reassuring for the current conflict in ukraine, all this fire power still doesn't have much use. nato's focus instead has been

preventing the war from widening. that's why the u. s. wants these deployments to be visible. it's wide invites reporters aboard. and it's why the navy secretary has come to the truman for a visit. i would argue that the situation is quite stable here in the mediterranean sea. we have russian vessels that are out here. the american vessels, we have french vessels, we have italian vessels, we have spanish vessels, and it's a piece of situation here, as ours, the russians continued to be 8. and so, and that's what we want them to do. a message amplified by truman's presence that a native not yet at war believes that can still deter one through strength. sometimes the color is just the color. that's how a russian cosmonaut explains why he and his crew arrived to the international space station wearing the colors of the ukrainian flag, blue and yellow of come to signal solidarity with ukraine since the war began. but the cosmo, it's pushed back on speculation that they,

assigning against moscow. i think it was regular. every crew picks their suits, were overalls on their own accord so that they don't look the same. they look different for somebody now, it was our turn to pick the color. the truth is we had accumulated a lot of yellow material. so we needed to use it up as role for that's why we had to wear yellow flights. it's which offers on the road. well, some people see a message of solidarity for ukraine, cosmo, it's uniforms. we asked expert, keep counting what he made of it. well, as they say where you stand, it depends on where you sit, where you float. i've been watching people coming in and out of space stations for decades, and normally they were blue. sometimes it's a different color, but for 3 guys to come out in a suit that looks like the ukranian flag in the middle of a war where their countries attacked that country. what a coincidence. although some folks may say, it looks like a depo video from the eighty's,

but it depends on your perception. i guess nobody is given a clear yes or no answer yet. here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines. at least 4 people have been killed and others injured. after a car drove at high speed into a crowd, gathered full carnival celebrations in belgium. media reports said the crash may have been caused as the vehicle was being chased by police in the black me a small town south of brussels. north korea fired multiple rocket launches on sunday. according to south korean military officials, the country has conducted a string of weapons tests this year for the ramping up tensions between pyongyang and so there are ongoing concerns of north korea developing up its nuclear capacity . sri lanka has canceled school exams over a paper shortage as the countries worst economic crisis in modern times. stevens, they've been several protest, sofa runaway prices in recent weeks with long cubes of fuel stations and blackouts

as the country struggles to buy foreign imports. you're up to date, an older well use on paint as well. and thanks for watching more analysis and use go to our website the don't you don't comp otherwise come back next out by people in trucks injured one trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border families. i see the reason for these critical illness with administrative people lean extreme around getting 200 people.
