a humanitarian convoy, attempting to bring relief to muddy poles, besieged, residence, bombs, keep falling on mud, you pull. the besieged city is under relentless shelling by russian forces. satellite pictures show the extent of the devastation, apartment buildings burnt out. a metal factory shelled. hundreds of thousands of people are still stuck here under the falling bombs. stand the nazi dean at the moment there around 100000 people living in mario pole under inhumane conditions under a complete siege without food, water and medicine. under constant shelling and bombardment, seen them for several weeks. and we have been trying to organize a stable humanitarian corridors for mario pulse residence. and almost all our attempts had been unfortunately obstructed by shelling or deliberate terror by

russian occupiers. salem, a bull c, dorman darrell. those who were able to flee mud, you both say conditions there are desperate to them. you did you hear the liberal of mario paul aren't being held from spring. it was that elite of help doing it, that people don't have water. the drink water. that's not even fit for industrial purposes. as no one you can ask for help. yoga pretty much. ukraine announced an agreement had been found to evacuate residents from towns and cities through 9 humanitarian corridors on wednesday. russia continues to pummel cities across ukraine like here in the capital key, where drones attacked a scientific institute or here in had a cave in the northeast of the country where a missiles fell. president,

leukemia zelinski is still hopeful that talks with russia can bring peace. he says, ukraine is prepared to discuss the status of crimea and the separate is don bass region after a ceasefire. but any agreement would have to be approved by the ukrainian people we can speak now to our correspondent funding for char. she's standing by for us in western ukraine in the city of if i funny, we are hearing the news that an agreement has been reached to evacuate civilians trapped in ukrainian cities via 9 humanitarian corridors. what more can you tell us about that? well this is pretty good news if those non humanitarian corridors actually operate and people can be evacuated. something of course, as we have seen during this ward in the past weeks, either worked in a very limited way or not at all. and when it comes to the town of mario pool, unfortunately there's no agreement. they in terms of trying to get people out and have a humanitarian corridor established to get a significant number of people,

a significant number of people out at least 100000 of people. instead, ukraine said that in a nearby town, they basically set up transportation for people who make it out this far. and of course, still many of them would like to just make it here. but we are right now to live, which is basically the last town owned away out from ukraine to poland, but millions and millions of people who have that goal to finally leave. remain trapped in the residential areas, remain trapped in a situation where they themselves do not know, not just to how to get out, but even just how to get basic information. how to make that attempt, the desperate attempt at this point, especially murray pool to exit. ukraine. yeah, as you said, there are an estimated a 100000 civilians remaining in money. you pull, it has been hit so hard. what conditions are they facing? it's really hard to put that inverse at this point. just imagine for full weeks now

people either limited access or have any access actually to food. some of them are reported to drink, very unsafe food, actually there is no clean water, no power. and as i say, no access to communication, you have to imagine people are out on the street. they call be buried. and, and people who are in dire need of medical help to, to help survive conscious make it to the next will spickle because they are bombed . as the city council pointed out yesterday from ukraine, they really are painted a very devastating picture. connie murray, poll a place that's been that reduced to ashes of a dead, a land quote. i've never been to marry a pool, but just from the sources we have on the ground. and if that information that we are getting is just one part of the story, i don't even want to imagine what the full scope of the devastation is in mario pull. funny, just a quick last question talks and the fighting have continued any progress there.

president zalinski said, actually out too early this morning that there's progress that's being made step by step. at the same time, he also said that ukraine and russia remained confrontational. so in a way, a mixed message, a message to was ukranian swell. here we're showing resistance hanging, there is going to be some agreement at some point, right. on the other hand, those who can leave, try to leave from these b c styles like mar your pool or how to keep or how to fill in sunni and other places. so if you ask me personally, i given the negotiations that ukraine already had, the delegations of ukraine and russia. i don't see any media change at this point. what people are hoping here on the ground with the president and asked, reaching out to various politicians, but even to the pope yesterday, that at least as sci fi or limit to sci fi, i can be reached des, funny for char recording there for us from live if thank you, thank you so much. german chancellor or left shoulder

has a drought would be increased, but he said nato would not police a no fly zone over ukraine because it could not risk direct confrontation with russia. she also said ukrainian refugees were welcome in germany here is a some of what he had to say. i left so still who turns invasion is stolen. you in view of some progress that has been made in previous days. and we did an hour or the president, a is a start pulling together. last week we had to president to lensky speaking to us here in the parliament. this of the and we said that it's hard to lindsey you got in there, keep going without the support of the world. and i tell you, praying that they can rely on our support. our chief political correspondent melinda crane, was following that speech from the chancellor earlier, melinda, what was your main takeaway? well, 1st of all, the chancellor basically reassuring citizens that he understands their concerns.

that on the one hand, he knows that the images we're seeing for coming from ukraine are very, very hard to bear. and that he's well aware that citizens are doing a lot to help the ukrainians who have come here. that's 236000 refugees. so far here in germany alone, that he also knows that people are terribly concerned that the war could escalate and spread possibly even to germany. so he said, i'm getting hundreds of emails everyday from you and i tell you, we will not get into a conflict between nato and russia. then he also attempted essentially to prepare people for the fact that crisis management is going to be ongoing because of the economic fallout from the conflict. higher energy prices, as we know, and so on. also because the cost of carrying for refugees and then ongoing pandemic recovery. so that of course also is a financial issue, crisis management, and then an invitation to the opposition to work with him designing this new special fund for upping defense and military spending. saying,

let's design this together. and finally, fourthly, very important to emphasise that with all the concern about the war and defense, germany must not neglect it's climate goals. and it's transformation of its economy and energy system, not least because of the ukraine conflict. and the fact that germany needs to win itself off of fossil fuels and really boost renewables, which means watts of investment in energy infrastructure, also very costly. i know that he underlined germany solidarity with ukraine. buddy again said that there would be no consideration of a no fly zone over ukraine, which the cranium presidents zalinski is asked for, tell us more about that. he was very firm on that point. he said, we will not allow this to become a nato, russia conflict, and in fact, a number of other nato allies have made it clear that they see it the same way. that's because with a no fly zone, it has to be policed. and the perimeter would of course, be bordering on

a native country like poland. meaning, you could have a native pilot up in the air, confronting perhaps inadvertently a rush of a rush of pilot who has strayed over that perimeter without realizing it. and in a crisis, you would have to shoot that plane down. and that would be a nato russian conflict. the chancellor said that is not going to happen. and there he has backing. he also though, talked about and embargo on oil and gas from russia, something other countries have been pushing germany to do and made it clear he does not want to go along with that. germany looking increasingly isolated on that point, but he's sticking to it for now. our chief clinical correspond melinda crane. thanks so much for your analysis. here in germany, the berlin state ballet as received hundreds of applications from dancers, fleet, ukraine, and leaving russia. many of them have taken up the ballet companies invitation to join daily training alongside its own dancers. the displaced performers are worried
