ah, ah ah, this is the w. news. live from berlin, stakes rise in the battle for mar, your palm. as fierce fighting continues in ukraine's east humanitarian corridors allow some residence to escape, but with much of the city destroyed, what will they have to return to? also coming up ukraine's president verbiage zalinski calls on israeli lawmakers to supply his country with weapons and imposed sanctions against russia. or bringing the latest from israel. plus russia says it's recruiting thousands of theory and

mercenaries to join if the invasion of ukraine will look at what is propaganda. and what's fact. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. the united nation says tenant 1000000 people have now fled their homes in ukraine. and more than 3000000 have left the country, but that hasn't stopped russia from targeting civilians in its war against ukraine . in the city of mario paul, fierce fighting continues between ukrainian and russian forces. many residents have been trapped there since the invasion started. the 1st humanitarian corridors are now allowing some people to evacuate, but the destruction there has raised concerns that some may not be able to return rashi state television records, the destruction in the city of morrow. you, paul,

russia's military has managed to take parts of the besieged city following heavy bombardment. the price of its progress, burned out buildings and traumatized residence. a nearby steel plant was also hit. russia claims it is liberating ukrainians from nazi rule. ukraine's president followed mister lensky, who, his jewish condemned, the brutal attack. look at me mighty open, or we deal this fully. the blockade of mar, you pull, will go down in history as a war. crime. to do this, to a peaceful city is terrorism. that will be remembered in centuries to come each in a state and the more ukrainians tell the world about it. the more support we will get the means. with the more russia uses terror against ukraine, the more it will suffer, the consequences,

gray 19 years shanowsky must provide lemay, as thunder residence film, the destruction rode by russian forces. the battle for this city continues. experts predict the invaders will get bogged down by a dog at ukrainian defense and that attacks on civilian targets will continue. we will consume. i, eloise thought to me, call out trophy mangle. he is an associate professor of international relations and foreign policy. and rector of mario state university, he managed to get out of mario paul short while ago and told us about his escape. the experience of the faced while fleeing from ru paul actually reformed a huge con, of course. and we and used to the way that was found by in the previous day on march 14 by 106 to carrasco managed to get was a patricia reformed this q to enter the as upper asia. and this q, of course,

with a white ribbons on the doors, it was a shooting by mind throwing throwing machines and the heat, the car with a for people to children there. they killed the parents of 2 and a half years children. it was in 7 meters from my car and my car jumped actually. so how could, how could, how could you believe this people when they are shooting the civilians in the cars that are trying to get to get out of from the war zone? the situation in my role is continue to be very difficult. the constant without any breaks bombed in shootings. busy from different kinds of weapons, from aircrafts today, they should it, and they, they bombed the city from the war sheeps, so they use everything they have to give the city. so i can't call maribelle city anymore. there is no city there and all the neighbourhood a around my,

my home, it's totally destroyed. totally as the fighting wages on moscow is deploying new weapons, saying it has again, yes. hypersonic missiles for a 2nd day. russia says it's king della rocket finn here in the russian military footage. travel up to 2000 kilometers at several times, the speed of sound, making them difficult to track, and then to set well the w sick colony. i joined us live now from the veins in weston ukraine. so what message is russia trying to send by using these types of missiles neck? well, this seems mainly to be a gesture towards the us to show the new with the u. s. administration. what kinds of new weapons russia still has at its disposal? we've seen russia in recent days using pretty old weapon systems pretty or

artillery other things that have been pretty indiscriminate in terms of damaging civilian targets. this is some of the new stuff that the kremlin has of this is obviously trying to show once again the kremlin is willing to escalate, is willing to put ever more sophisticate, ever more devastating weaponry on the table in terms the outcomes. while the russians have been hitting these kinds of ukrainian targets in recent days without these hypersonic missiles. but it certainly is another sign that moscow just isn't going to back down and isn't going to respond to western sanctions and dial down the tensions here in ukraine at least for now. these rockets are said to have a range of 2000 kilometers. is there a reason for concern that that they could potentially reach cities and poland or germany but obviously these science from the kremlin are very worrying this rhetoric you've hearing out of moscow is getting more aggressive see me by the day . and in recent weeks, we also had the russians doing very little to kind of her veiled threats of use of

nuclear weapons of maybe tactical nuclear weapon, smaller nuclear weapons than the conventional nuclear weapons where we saw being feared in the cold war. but basically, no sign of de escalation from russia, no sign that they are open to any real kind of dialogue. and they're happy in other russian weapons use in recent weeks that can travel similar distance as the caliber cruise missile. it also has a range about 2000 kilometers and it's important to him of that loss. these missiles also based in rushes, cleaning grad region that is surrounded by nature, members, by poland, by lithuania. so these missiles already very close to nature capitals and are definitely within range of bull in other european capitals. already. a ukraine's president is once again appealing for direct talks with vladimir putin. is there any sign of that happening? what we've seen, volume is lensky ukraine semiconductor. president, time and time again, asking for these talk, saying that this is basically the only way that any kind of progress is going to be reached. because russia, he says, is a country where all the students are taken by the man at the top by their putin.

and they're all kind of negotiations on a lower level. even ministerial level isn't really gonna achieve anything. for now . we've not seen any willingness from russia to make this happen. basically, scrimmage source is implying that ukraine is a western client state. the busy talking to ukraine has little a purpose to it. the bessie, this is something that needs to be decided between the us and russia. and the, the ukranian could basically only come to the table if they agreed, some kind of capitulation if they are willing to do everything that russia wants them. basically give up its army to give up the plans to join nato or other western alliances and is willing to recognize russian control of an ex crimea and recognize those self proclaimed republics. least that basically is pretty much on think will right now. it's can't see scenario which volume events you'll be able to ask ukrainians after the devastation and the debts the last few weeks to accept those russian terms as they are now. so it's pretty difficult see what is going by thinks about the optics. definitely ukrainian side has to be seen to be open to dialogue, to guarantee to sure that western support doesn't want to be open to accusations

that ukraine is fighting this. if there is a real chance for peace. but right now it's kind of difficult see where those talks would go and what even they would talk about. now interesting. see the pictures behind you there are people are talking about this afternoon currently in the event that bring us up to speed on the wider humanitarian situation, taking place there in ukraine will. that's extraordinary thing. if you see these pictures, the scenes here leave, you can be forgiven for thinking that this is a country at peace. but this is a city that is filled to the brim with refugees. these are internally displaced people. we've certainly never seen the city as busy as this, and if you look at the cars, most of them have number plates from cities. further east from kia from hud, give from odessa some, even from mary paul at the we heard from the u. n. today that estimated quarter of ukraine's population 10000000 people have left their homes in with the recent weeks since the beginning of the war. in late february, most of those are in turn into space. they have left the country. they've moved further west to place like to be closer to the nato and e borders. lots people here

trying to make up their minds, whether they'll be able to stay at stay as families of the men between ages of 1860 are not allowed to leave the country. that is bound right now. they're not being called up to fight right now, but they can't leave. so a lot of people try to keep family life going ad before thinking about maybe sending their wives and their children and their parents abroad to safety in poland . other places for the west. make connelly in the viv, thank you so much, nick. well, here's a look at some of the other developments in the conflict. kim's mer vitale. kitch go says at least 5 people were taken to hospital after russian shelling hit a residential building in the west of the city. rescue workers are looking for survivors. fresco said the incident was another example of russia's indiscriminate attacks on civilians with demonstrators in ukraine's occupied southern city of care. san have been riding against russian soldiers for a 3rd weekend to brush military trucks was seen leaving the city central square. after being approached by hundreds of protesters carrying ukrainian flags and

taunting go home in motion. polish officials say a 40 kilometer a line of nearly a 1000 trucks formed at its border with bella. ruth, after protesters gathered at the crossing, demonstrate as are demanding the e. u. halt. all trade with russia and its ally, bella ruth, over the war in ukraine. hey crane's president vladimir zalinski, once israel to ditch it's neutral stance on russia, as it continues its war against as people. lensky made his t during a virtual address to israel's parliament, the connecticut. he also accused russia trying to destroy ukrainian identity. he compared the situation of ukrainians to that of jews during the 2nd world war accused in the kremlin of trying to wipe them out. this is what he said a short while ago. one of the door of the all this time, why can't we get weapons from you leaning more than more than why hasn't israel

imposed strong sanctions against russia leave, but doesn't your sanity for a she june, why not put pressure on russian businesses more? oh, but the answer still up to you. dear brothers and sisters said, yvonne and you have to live with this answer. people of israel or grange is, or louis ukrainians, made that choice 80 years ago to save jews. wally, that is why the righteous people of the world are among us. see people of israel, the now you have such a choice? there you are here to get off of minus and joined by ruth vasa been lander. she is a member of the connecticut and her party is also in the governing coalition. thank you very much indeed for being with us here and d. w. news. so as we heard ukraine's leader, having a very pointed address towards israel, where he is called on a it's, these are leadership to impose sanctions on the russian president and his supporters as well as sent military support. is israel reluctant to get more

involved? first of all, good evening and thank you for having our new platform. i think that the current situation apart from being a huge tragedy is something that the vast majority of his relays feel tremendous amount of compassion towards because of the past of the jewish people, particularly. but it's very, very concerning to a lot of people. the issue, particularly of the refugees the question of being involved and not israel is extraordinarily involved in this particular crisis. perhaps not to the liking of all ukrainians at the moment, all on the country for russians at the moment. because of the situation in and more than buddha, with syria in the presence of the russians there, we have a bit of a more delicate situation needing to take care of between our,

the 2 countries. another less we have made very, very clear that we were against our, this imposition. and the government is certainly taking extraordinary steps. i'm out of the ordinary to make encased as much as possible the lives of the refugees as, as best as the government can. okay, so less, less as break this on into different parts. so how much is the security coordination with the russian troops operating in syria and the threat from iran, and it's proxies playing a role in how israel is addressing rushes aggression in ukraine. so obviously the security considerations are extraordinarily important to these railey government is something that needs to be taken into account and he is taken into account and yet, ah refugees and the compassion for the humanitarian crisis. and the tragedy that

has evolved is unquestionable at all. and therefore, a lot of humanitarian aid has been passed along to the ukraine delegations of doctors, field hospitals have been said, the ministry of foreign affairs has been extremely active and so warm in the best possible manner that the country can possibly allow itself with in this particular delicate situation. okay. and on the topic of the ukrainian refugees, the have been multiple reports that some ukrainian refugees have not been allowed entry into israel. can you bring us up to speed on that situation and how many ukrainian refugees are currently allowed into the country? so at the moment, then not any, a specific numbers that are permitted. in other words, there isn't a ceiling for the refugees. ah, as you know,

anybody with any kind of background with a married to or in the family background that has jewish roots is automatically allowed. and apart from that, in the beginning, the was a speaking of a ceiling, a quote of that was and numbed almost immediately. and there are thousands of refugees that have absolutely no connection to judaism. ah, that have been brought in and have been removed from the airport to various hotels and various hospitals in order to have some kind of refuge from the current situation. now israel clearly has to play quite a delicate balancing act when it comes to its relationship with russia, consumer that does have a military tie with the country. how do you see is role playing a role as a potential mediator? as it said, it would like to do so the military tie is perhaps um,

a little bit misleading because it's not that he has a military tie. it, it rather has a military understanding because he does need to have a kind of the, a leverage on maneuvering stays in, ah, it's more than border because of different ah, at transportation of weapons are sent by you run to the syrians. and therefore, israel needs to have freedom of action, which is coordinated with the russians. this is the kind of coordination that we talking about, the mediation by the way of these really par minister, these of the ukraine and russia has been called upon by both sides. so it wasn't something that was initiated by israel, but rhonda and a kind of an answering positively to the call of the president of russia on the one hand and the president of ukraine on the other hand. ok, ruth vesman landa,

member of these really connected speaking to us in television. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you so much. have a good evening. hello, roger says this recruiting mercenary fighters from syria to join the assault on ukrainian cities. moscow has spoken of bringing in thousands of syrian militia fighters with experience in urban compact. and a lot of shows you heard about, we're not afraid of this war guys and are ready and waiting for a marching orders. are those yard, the serene militia leader? delivering a warning to ukraine from a church in a bill, abdullah says he wants to give the ukrainians a lesson. they will never forget the modem. bureaus your 700 orthodox christian fighters under his command, a militia takes his orders from president, a sad, serious ruler, has equipped them with weapons and heavy equipment, including tanks. destination here on the front line in the lab series,

last remaining rebel stronghold. the militia has closed links with russia for russian state tv. the christian fight has let themselves be filmed in a convoy on every car, the zed symbol of rushes, invasion of ukraine. what have you like? the head of the u. k. base searing observatory for human rights says that while much is propaganda, his source is confirmed. the basic facts behind it. to transport planes with fighters have already departed, syria. humble son, totally, boom. they were already requested by russia. if will, some of them could already be in moscow or ukraine malady, they have urban combat experience and have taken part in military operations under russian supervision in syria, a daughter, rosie alaska. if you sodium. according to the observatory, 40000 fighters are ready to join putin's war and have registered to fight. 22000 have been accepted by russia so far. but whether they are really a certain of victory as they appear in the cremeans propaganda videos is

questionable. be home club would was he'd olive in syria, they wanted to save their homes in them, but when they're fighting on foreign soil, he will they show the same motivation will do enough or will they just be cannon fodder in the end? what have you, hold little m m, you many, a drawn to recruitment centers like this one out of sheer necessity hoping to secure a ticket to europe even if they're bound for a war zone. and there's a lot of money on the line as this enroll lee. and as the wider told a japanese reporter at that hour, they say that i can get $7000.00 a month on the front line, $3000.00 for other positions. and i think that that after the a difficult choice for serious would be fighters, poverty at home, or war, and even death in a foreign country. well then the countries around the world rely on wheat. mays and sunflower, oil imports from ukraine. prices have been high recently, especially for weight,

but russia's invasion of ukraine has pushed them up even further. close to a 3rd of global weight exports come for russia and ukraine. but now the war is disrupting shipments. and that's bad news for places like lebanon. b for bread like this is the cushion part of the day for people in lebanon. it's often known as the loaf of the poor, because it has always been afford to been for everyone. but now, thanks look, defense process have shut up over the last couple of years of economic instability . and now people are scared the war in ukraine could make things even worse. and as i very now did have people are panicking. they are rushing to buy bread about those who usually buy a bag are buying 4 or 5 instead. in the afternoon we even see some bakeries that run out of bread, and you sometimes see cues and other bakeries like we had during the war. but the emma, how to these people are at the sharp end of the compound crisis, a country and economy collapse,

plays with foreign currency to have portrayed and the globe in inflation. and now there's war in ukraine. live walked over to you and i saw this bag of bits of red cost $1.00 and a half 1000 pounds. and that was the fixed price. i have just bought this for 11000 pounds. the price thrive is may be due to lebanon's, ongoing political and economy crisis. but now global events are playing a part to the price of leave and therefore flower. and therefore red is rising at on the words because one of the biggest reproduces is ukraine. the war there is putting lebanon in a difficult situation. read importers are looking to its places like france and germany. some are even looking towards the united states. but all those options are further away than ukraine, meaning greater transport costs. and lemme malicious to look at our house historical, i'm ever since the private sector started importing we. it was always from the

countries around the black sea, mainly ukraine and russia. them the last 2 years, we imported 80 percent of our wheat from ukraine of nuclear millersville. it's a global crisis that is affecting importing countries along because of the inflation yet in wheat and fuel. that it will affect wheat prices, its transportation, and it will reflect on bread price, ellen, alabama, albany. hey, if she would, i saw so. so was the 2020 exclusion that check statewood port destroyed the huge silos that had up to 4 months worth of queen current t. there's enough wheat for a month. if people can no longer afford the loaf of the poor, hunger and political instability will funnel. now on the germans city of bon hundreds, the protesters have formed a human chain to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine. the chains snake through the city from the university to the united nations campus where several un organisations have their headquarters demonstrate his st. john lennon's song give

peace a chance brute deft of have joint hand for the ukrainians with the 2 kilometers long human gene is extending its love and support for doors suffering due to the war almost 4 weeks now that we have this horrible situation. and of course it's, it's time to stand up, think about what you are doing, mr. put him. ah, that what we are doing is against the whole world feelings about freedom and peace . we don't need any more in bold. what we need is peace, peace between people, peace between country. that's the whole point. people here in bon faith that this is the least they can do to express solidity with ukrainians who continued to be under russia that, that there methodist very clear. they want beasts to be given a chat with

us a thing singing as the best way to communicate together without any barriers. lady moore's uminski, the president of ukraine, see once a lot of people are to be act and so their solidarity was ukraine. so this was one way the bonds showing it's solidarity. we want to support ukraine. actually all of our family left in cave and we are here for safety. like other cities in germany gone has welcomed hundreds of ukrainians. almost a 1000 people have offered a place of residence for the refugees. people here said they will continue to raise their voices for their fellow human beings. they believe bombing and shilling

is not an answer to the conflict. dating families, but will not solve anything. and the cost of destruction of war will always be higher than any material. again, i was the w bernice javert in bon. what? an sport, ukrainian high jumper. you're a slab. mahard chick won a gold medal at the world in door championships in belgrade, which she only attended after a treacherous journey. bottex cleared the bar at 2.02 meters to claim the gold. she said she had left ukraine amid explosions, fire, and air raid sirens with the trip to serbia taking 3 days. she said her performance was a defense of ukrainian colors on the truck. it wasn't dw news. he is a reminder of our top story. in ukraine's eastern city of mario poll, fighting between ukrainian and russian forces is escalating humanitarian corridors,

are allowing some residence, a 1st chance to escape after weeks of having been trapped. and they're now telling stories of widespread destruction in their hometown. the city w news life from berlin up next is doc for i'll see enough for that. take care ah, with
