ah ah ah, this is it renews life from berlin, siege and starvation out of food, water, and fuel. the people with muddy who bowl are struggling to survive as promises of a humanitarian court or fails. some 4000 ukrainian seeking refuge from the war in their homeland are making their way to israel and more support for ukraine to protect itself against the threats of chemical warfare. that's the latest pledge from nato and had of more talks on russia's invasion. and chief here thought birth says russia must allow civilians to leave besieged cities.

ah, hello everyone, i'm layla. thank you very much for joining us. while it's nearly a month now, since russia unleashed an unprovoked war on ukraine, and today ukraine is calling on russia to allow civilians to escape the southern ports of mario bolt. the local council says russian forces who surrounded the city, have reduced it to ashes with constant balmy president. vladimir zalesky says 800000 civilians are trapped without food, water, or medication. mrs. lansky says the russian forces seized a humanitarian convoy, attempting to bring relief to mario balls besieged residence. ah. these are missiles

fired by russia, from sea, and from land against ukraine. these images were released by russia's defense ministry. as were these in which russia claims to have hit a ukrainian anti aircraft missile system. but shells aren't only falling on military targets in keys. this home was hit by a russian strike. fire fighters worked to put out the blaze that followed remove it was a strike on the roof. i walked out of the house to smoke a cigarette and when i went back inside, it happened the ceiling collapse of a book. in mud you pull, the city under siege, hit relentlessly by russian bombing satellite images show the extent of the devastation. life as hell for people who are still stuck in the city. or if he is

of law, russia has used more than a 1000 missiles against the peaceful, ukrainian cities. countless numbers of aerial bomb, the russian troops have destroyed dozens of our cities following some have been burned to ashes, filthy, but probably in many cities and villages under russian occupation. our people can't even bury their dead relatives with dignity. these buses are headed close to matthew polt. they're intended to collect people who managed to flee the besieged city and take them to safety. in total 9 humanitarian corridors, our plans for wednesday to evacuate civilians from towns and cities in different parts of ukraine. tracking developments in ukraine is dw correspondent. i'm young as if he is in levine in western ukraine. i'm young. people struggling to survive in multiple. what can you tell us about any efforts that might be under way

to alleviate the humanitarian situation? there layla, as you said, they're bearing the brunt of the war in mario pole right now. for the 100000 estimated people who are there, there's little hope but to get out of the city. so most of the efforts are concentrate on getting people out of the city, which is obviously a challenge, considering that russian forces have completely surrounded the city. now, as you heard, the buses have come. 24 buses have showed up to biddy. ask that's town just outside of my tuple, which poses the challenge for people in the city trying to get out to get to that place 1st to the meeting point where they can get into those buses to get to safety . the buses are planned to just go to jeopardy just so not completely across the country, but just to a safer part of the central eastern ukraine. now we've seen in the past that you many and humanitarian corridors have succeeded getting thousands of people out of

the siege cities in the east, especially. but it doesn't always succeed. we have to see if russia complies. they've agreed to it, but whether or not shelling happens on those routes will have to be seen tomorrow will. meanwhile, i mean, in other parts of ukraine, ukrainians are fighting back and gaining ground. what can you tell us about the ukranian counter offensive to take back territory? a lot of the fighting is concentrated north of northwest if key of right now, obviously a big symbolic victory for russians if they could claim that city. but also that's where the ukranian forces are concentrating their counter attacks. so a lot of the fighting is happening in the northwestern suburbs of key of your pin and boucher where the city council announced that ukrainian troops had surrounded that area where russian troops are and selves to the position to take that area back. so what that all boils down to is a stalemate, but for ukrainians

a stalemate is a victory. considering that the russian forces have made key of a target for weeks. now the thought they would get that in the 1st few days of the invasion that turned out not to be true and they haven't made any progress on a week. so ukrainians are celebrating this, at least as a victory protecting their capital city. did have correspondence that, i mean, i see for reporting from the live in western ukraine. i mean, thank you very much. let's speak now to we're fly unnecessary of from the international committee of the red cross. he joins me from the city of vanessia in central ukraine. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to her sir. the rent crossed by it's estimates says 18000000 people in ukraine. a 3rd of the country's population will need humanitarian aid. how do you respond to a crisis of that magnitude?

well, this is indeed like a situation of interested in magnitude here lie. it needs all around the country in many different areas of their homes. people i have to apologize to have years there. we're having audio of problems and we can't hear of florian and speak, or try to address those issues. and if we're able to establish contact with him later on, we'll bring him back to get the view or the humanitarians at the view on the humanitarian situation. in ukraine, but for now, let's move on to the war in ukraine has forced millions of people to flee mostly to neighboring european countries. but some jewish refugees have a different destination. israel, which grant them the right to immigrate over $4000.00 ukrainians have arrived in israel. since the start of the russian invasion, ah,

they are safe at last. just a week ago neatness. gov, his wife and sister arrived in israel from odessa, fleeing the war in ukraine. stoker through eager to our cities being bowman to ask her many have been destroyed. and there are many casualties among the civilian population, elena, that's what russian aggression looks like. overseas gaga says it has some place hood. for now, they are living in the hotel in the small city of norfolk, i live alone with many other refugees. every one here is waiting for the entry documents to be processed. ne tree is entitled to israeli citizenship because his jewish, that's the law. he feels welcome already. the rest of the year, we're getting lots of support here on the lisa were being fed and given clothes and everything that we need nazareth mux, my neglect model. and that's exactly how it should be,

according to the male ones in immigrant himself from all dover. and now encourage his refugees to come to his city network with your mother. when selling point, he mentions cheaper rent than in telephone is greenwood another bottle from with the one yesterday, with mostly abruptly, he also uses facebook to invite refugees to nov, haggling, which has already taken in 200 people fleet and the war. well, these railey government, still arguing about how much immigration the country can handle, the mayor ceased their arrival as a positive on the rock. mister keller, earlier should i look at other immigration waves in the past? the 1000000 and i see what it did to israel. i shall score more. it definitely did a lot and mostly my youngest from the migrant from back then all have high ranking job, so they've benefited the country for good. and i believe that will happen again more gemelli a lot. shabani poor, the city is no stranger to immigration,

half the residence he is big russian. and unlike in other parts of israel, street signs are not only written in hebrew, arabic and english, but russian, too. and those who were once immigrants themselves are lending a helping hand to the more around the new israeli and needed more than one other than we we have. we have too much and we can give me 2. he says he now wants to find an apartment job and learn hebrew. he says he has no plans to return to ukraine, except to visit his parents who stayed behind in odessa. i understand we have re established a contactor with the florian nursery or from the international committee of the red cross. so good to have you back with us. he's joining us from that city of venetia in central ukraine. i want to ask you 1st, do you have any news on how evacuation efforts are, are going?

are there humanitarian corridors in place that you can confirm? well, i can tell you that we were able to facilitate the safe passage of thousands of civilians last week on 2 occasions from the city of sumi so basically like buses where able to reach the city and take people out of the city in direction of another town they look. so this happened last week, then i will not be able in that i will not be in the put in to come see him all different, different se, se message is absolutely right. are you able to get emergency supplies to besieged areas? is the red cross able to reach these civilians that are trapped in medical port because according to the ukranian presence of mister zalinski, he said, 100000 people are still trapped there with no food and no water. no the, the situation is in did terrible are for, for the people will remain trapped in valuable. we haven't had an occasion to

deliver essential aid to the people in the city. what are the conditions in the hospitals? can you tell us about that? well, the situation is, is not similar in different parts of the country. you have a lot of people who manage to leave areas like some me some, some of them need of course, like medicine need health assistance. do you have like a lot of people who also like are in their treatment for instance for diabetes and was a non comic communicable disease does. people will need continuity of treatment. so of course like this is also an important concern. we are supporting hospitals like the still the we've trauma surgery training and we also delivering like trauma surgery kits in different areas in the country. now you just pointed out that that, that the i, c, r c is, is unable to reach to civilians trapped in a mar,

you pull. how was the war affecting the work of the red cross? and dr is, you know, it if access is not allowed to zones like marty, who bowl well dis, this is part of do the conversations that we continue to have with the parts to the conflict. of course we, we try to, to facilitate texts, we try to get access to, to make sure that we can deliver assistance to the people who are in dire need of aides. but this is not always, this is not always possible. so into situations we also try to go assistance or we deliver assistance to the people where ever we can access them. so it means like in many different areas in the country, but are you being denied access or you don't go because it's not safe enough? well, in fact, like there must be agreements between the parties to the conflict. so we mean like very concrete agreements with clear steps. timing the road that is going to be

taken. how much time will be located for, for any safe passage. and then we can receive like notification we can be requested to to help facilitate the same message understand. so there is a procedure that needs to take place. in conclusion, sir, we understand that the head of the red cross is in moscow today. the head of the, of the international committee of the red cross. peter, i'm our, is in moscow today as he was in ukraine recently as well. this is part of the ford of international committee of the direct cause. this is part of the conversations that we have with parties to the conflict in any and in this current situation, fly an essay of from the international committee of the red cross talking to us from the ukranian city of phoenix. yes sir. thank you very much and good luck with you. what you're very important work. thank you. let's take

a look now at some of the other developments in the war. but frances has made a fresh appeal for peace in ukraine. the catholic church paid tribute to the victims of war and said buying and producing more weapons, is quote, not the solution for the problem. the urge both sides to work together for peace and to yachts, owned by the russian oligarchy. roman abramoff, which have ducked in turkey, avoiding european sanctions on russia's super, which a group of ukrainian demonstrators tried to prevent one of the vessels from mooring in the turkish port of budrum. i'll turkey has criticized russia's invasion of ukraine, but rejects sanctions. russian investigators have launched a criminal case against a veteran. russian journalist alexander and his nephews are off. he had accused the army of deliberately shelling a maternity hospital in valuable. well, mister, never off is the 1st prominent journalist of fall foul of new legislation,

banning criticism of russia's war in ukraine. nato leaders are preparing to meet for an emergency summit on ukraine. u. s. present jo buying is due to join other heads of nato member states in brussels on thursday, while the alliance is balancing more military help for ukraine to fight the russian invasion while avoiding a direct confrontation with moscow. nato has stationed more soldiers and weapons in eastern european member state. secretary general against burke has also promised more support for ukraine to protect itself against the threats of chemical warfare . and he said, russia must allow civilians to leave besieged. cities want to take you now to brussels though we where we are joined by the w nato corresponding terry sure. terry critical days ahead. what is the goal of tomorrow's, the emergency meeting?

later, the most important point for to morrow summit is to demonstrate that all 30 allies, europe, and the united states are completely on the same page when it comes to being willing to commit whatever it takes to defend alliance territory against any potential spill over from the war on ukraine, and that's the message they want to send both to the kremlin and also to eastern allies who are nervous about the potential effect that the war will have on them. and, and that possibly, russian president vladimir putin will set his sights on them next. so all of these reinforcements are going to be very welcome in those capitals. they will also be joined at one point by ukrainian president villarreal zalinski. and he of course, will be asking leila for things he's not going to get like like a no fly zone, like these, these fighter jets that may or may not at one point be on their way to ukraine. but he is expected to hear from allies that they'll be sending more defensive equipment, and he'll get more moral support even though none of these allies are, of course,

willing to send forces to serve on the ground in ukraine. exactly. i wanted to ask you, in terms of deliverables, what are we expecting concretely? there actually are going to be some concrete deliverables to morrow. a secretary general stilton burg announced that there will be 4 new battle groups deployed to nato's eastern flank. now these bout, they're all ready for battle groups in the baltic states and in poland. and they will be joined now by, by new battalions in bulgaria, romania, hungary, and slovakia. so nato was hoping to set up a seamless deterrence and defense line there, along the eastern flank. i secretary general stilton berg said that there will be even more reinforcements announced by allies. and interestingly, that they will also discuss and potentially even agree at this point to make these reinforcements permanent. now, of course, when all of these extra troops and equipment were sent to eastern allies, it, it wasn't known what, what president putin would do. nobody perhaps expected this,

this war on ukraine. now the alliance is looking at, leaving them there. and that would be a big change because of course, there is a nato russia treaty, that it said that nato would not permanently station troops there. but all of that is out the window with this war on ukraine so. so those are some of the things we're going to hear tomorrow along with, as, as i mentioned, to support for ukraine in terms of fighting a chemical biological potentially nuclear attacks. let's talk about that. the nato chief urged, has warned, rather against the use of chemical weapons in russia's war in ukraine. is the alliance preparing for the worst and would that be red line for nato? they are preparing for the worst because nobody knows what russia will do. and still timber said that they're very worried about the rhetoric they've seen coming out of russia, these false flag narratives where russia has accused ukraine of creating chemical and biological weapons. that's usually seen as a precursor to russia using those kind of weapons. they're also worried about

nuclear attack. leyland and so here general stilton berg said russia must stop, it's nuclear saber rattling. so while they will announce some new capabilities that they will help ukraine with to counter these attacks. of course, those kind of weapons don't stop at any borders, and so nato is very much worried. but at the same time, while they are very worried about this stilton bird will not be drawn into discussing whether that would be something that would convince nato to somehow enter the conflict itself. the w correspondence a terry schultz reporting from nato h here. thank you so much, terry. while there's been surprise that the parents struggle or russian forces have faced since launching their attacks on ukraine, despite having superior firepower and troop numbers. moscow has not so far, at least had the success that was anticipated, but despite their differences in size, booth armies are suffering heavy losses. from

land and sea. russia has been proudly showing off its military might for months. and it was no secret that it was far superior to ukraine's before the war started. ukraine's armed forces were at around half a 1000000, but rushes were almost 3 times that at more than $1300000.00 y ukraine had around 2 and a half 1000 tanks. russia had nearly 12 and a half 1000, almost 5 times its neighbors. ukraine's total aircraft strength, including war planes and attack helicopters, student $318.00 rushes was more than $4000.00. but a month after the war began, these figures have probably changed dramatically with losses on both

sides. the russian navy has continued to play a crucial role in the kremlin war efforts. talent, cruise missiles, our integrity to the navy's ground stripe capabilities. it's believed one was used to hit this government building in the city of car keys at the beginning of march, russia. and they scanned a short range ballistic missiles have also been used in car keys and other ukrainian cities. and moscow has been accused of using cluster bombs on residential areas, which would constitute a wall crime. the kremlin has also claimed its fired hypersonic missiles like these at targets in ukraine. although this has not been independently verified. no one knows how much further russia will go in its assault

on ukraine rules nor how long ukraine can withstand attacks like these and other nurse or corona virus cases are at record levels, even as germany begins phasing out the last of its restrictions nationwide. while the countries present hunk, walter stein meyer is among those who does the positive, he and his wife are now isolating. the world health organization says several european nations are being too rash and scrapping restrictions only to see arise and infections, including among health care workers. i think it's another hectic day at this clinic in the germans city of hanover. the workload keeps growing, but the number of doctors and nurses is shrinking. many are off sick with cove in 19. 0, it's having the impact on every in the hospital. as a result,

we can't go for beds to all the patients, so need them some plan procedures or having to be cancelled medical style shortages also mean entire weeks without any scheduled operations. around 75 percent of german hospitals are currently unable to offer the full range of services or e peasant allows phillips, staff shortages affect the entire hospital across every ward. the preference of us was. this is also happening at a time when we are experiencing maximum occupancy has to be opposite. we have more coverage on patients in our regular wards than ever before. the normal shots only been on the yahoo. across germany, about 24000 patients are currently in hospital with copay. 19. many are only diagnosed after being admitted. but every case means more work more p. p. e will. pandemic stress, which has partly shifted from intensive care woods to the regular ones. young that

we have a considerable number of coating on team passions on the normal awards, who are seriously ill or what we have. so it's not just as simple cold as some people claim if he was active not from the cove at 19 crisis, keeps on changing. and this is especially evident in hospitals where it's also clear that it's far from over the worst top ranked female tennis player. australia's ashe barty as unexpectedly retired from the game at the age of 25. as barty announced her decision just weeks after becoming the 1st australian to win the australian open in 44 years, already says she's leaving the game to chase other dreams. clutching a trophy, ash bodies last outing was as the newly crowned australian open sheffield. she celebrated breaking the striped in drought with bubbles in melbourne. but as the rest of the world was wondering how many more she could add to her total of 3 grand slams, she shed the redress and returned to the red center of the country to try and inspire

the next aboriginal grand slam champion job. yeah, i was giving an unvarnished glimpse of where her next set of dreams lie along the way unfulfilled. i'm happy and i know how much work it takes 2 to bring the best out of yourself and i've set it to my team. um multiple times. it's just, i don't have that in me anymore. she leaves the sport as it's number one ranked player. a french open wimbleton, and very much an australian champion who leaves a global crowd wanting more. gotta leave when you're at the top. you're watching every news. there's a recap or vermin. story rushes efforts to occupy the key ukrainian ports of medical continue with bombs, striking and industrial compound present. bodamer zalinski says 100000 residents

remain trapped in the city. this as a native secretary general against open burke says nato is providing additional support to help ukraine protect itself against chemical warfare. mr. soleberg is also calling on russia to create humanitarian course to allow civilians to lead devastated cities like money who fall in watching every news live from balloon stick with us. the news they show up next week to rush by energy ah, with
