a ah ah, this is every news line from berlin siege and starvation out of food, water, and fuel, the people of mario paul struggling to survive as promises of humanitarian corridors, fail plus more support for ukraine to protect itself against the threats of chemical warfare. that's the latest pledge from nato add of more talks on russia's invasion. chief against fulton, burke says russia must allow civilians to leave besieged cities. and the war has forced millions to flee their homes. some 4000 ukrainians seeking refuge are making

their way to israel. ah, hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you so much for joining us. it's nearly a month now since russia unleashed an unprovoked war on ukraine. today, ukraine is calling on russia to allow civilians to escape the southern port city of mario ball. the local council says russian forces who surrounded the city, have reduced it to ashes with constant bombing present voluntary zalinski says, a 100000 civilians are trapped without food, water, or medication presents. lensky says, russian forces sees the humanitarian convoy attempting to bring relief to mario balls. besieged residence with 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 missiles system. but shells aren't only falling on military targets. in keith, 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 collapsed liberal 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. jesus was 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, philip dicky, 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. i like to bring in maria of deva, she lives in harkey and works at the european expert association which focuses on ukrainian relations with the you and nato. thank you so much for joining us.

summary, i understand that we are speaking to you in harkey, ukraine. second largest, the urban center in ukraine, which has been under constant bombardment. what's lifelike? yes, the harkey is still on the systematic shalon from russian troops. it means that russia is not the able to do any seen on the ground. so they frail with this plan to get capture or what are in so called the that's why russia now uses the tactic, arises for the last. so they constantly the shell and doesn't talk day and night. it goes all day long and it's a threat sealants. i and that means that people which are leaving in the houses that are destroyed because of the shadows have to flee the quote. so for life, just information reports to give are the number of more than 1000 builds in

total, it destroyed in heart. and that means that one of the apartment, the organs is destroyed. they all the nearby area is not in the condition that there will be people leaving because it means there is no heat and electricity of what the supply also in their, in the near by deal dense because the pipes are broken. and russia is deliberately also targets and civilian infrastructure. it means electricity heaton station, water supply. so all of these is being targeted by russian troops. so great these you monitor and cried in har give and my people please, or is it possible for people to leave? is there a safe passage out of harkey? so russia is not able to and so called the theater russian troops are now on the north and north east of clark, if there is

a full made there. so they do not advance and that even more you grain down to con lu, counter, offensive contra taken them. so that means that the south and west and part of car give are so the role as a functioning to and from the seat, the although it is not safe, because russia is shell in that area as well. not, not as intensive as they need areas to the north, but then feel and that this means that if people are going in and out in their cars, they might become target or russian me style. and we had seen so many images when people broke you in, in front of the shop to get some food supplies or a bread and the, the line of people gra, at is shout by by russia. and there go casual among people that went out just to get some food, really terrifying, terrifying scenes that we've all witnessed as well and that you are describing. i

don't know if you had the opportunity to listen to the nato secretary general installed in burke who spoke moments ago, and he promised more support for ukraine to protect itself against the possible threats of chemical warfare. what do you make of that? now that's also what president biden has told me that this has told me today that he says that the russian can call is very well and i'm research in russian didn't formation. i see that russia or it some theory with already create and of ground for false lack opperation, because russian ministry of defense has already claimed that they know that ukraine courses have mind the chemical plants in ukraine and new pro in some way in nikolai and our band to blow them when rush and blaze will be flying a bowl that it means for us that the russia is preparing to prepare itself to

it. chemical at that. and we'll try to put so to if you were to ukraine on that. and that's why they prepare information grand for the post back corporation. so the threats were real, and of course it is threat them and the threat on the v o. m here in, in the stated because now it's all over the media and people who cannot for the information on the internet. what to do in the get of the chemical, where on at tech, and those know this is what i can add to what secretary is told to stop and get a statement, is that ukraine needs all kinds of defensive whereupon now, because russia is on, in the total war and it is now destroy and completely destroying the population reveal and in your grand. and that's why all possible means or for defense should

be given to your grand and then both play that should add defense systems. and for the bill it says and fighter jet that will allow your brand to, to shelter and to defend the guide. because that just what is used by russia to bombard our teachers and also might be used to bombard chemical facilities. because one of the leakages that we have now is in so my a richer than me by region too hard because there is a big chemical land there and there are storage is ammonia which already was shout . and there was already a leakage of one year over there for yeah, of day 5 at the at the european expert association in harkey, ukraine. thank you so much for your time and young. as we just mentioned, a nato leaders are preparing to meet for an emergency summit on ukraine. he was present, joe biden is due to join other heads of nato member states in brussels on thursday

. 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 states. secretary general un soleberg has also promised war support for ukraine to protect itself against the threats of chemical warfare. and he implored member states to invest more resources in order to stop the war from escalating the decisions we take to morrow will how far reaching implications, major reinforcements to our security will require major investments in defense. so i expect ours will agree to read or boulder efforts to invest more. there is a new sense of urgency because we cannot take peace for granted. want to take you

now to brussels though we where we are joined by dw nato corresponding terry sure. terry critical days ahead. what is the goal of tomorrow's 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 berg 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 native was hoping to set up a seamless deterrence and defense line there, along the eastern flank. i secretary general stoughton 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 of 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 with 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 sen, general stilton burg 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 kinds 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 berg 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 aged here. thank you. so much terry the red cross estimates 18000000 people in ukraine. that's a 3rd of the country's population will need humanitarian aid. all earlier i spoke

to florida on the city from the international committee of the red cross and venetia in central ukraine. i began by asking him how the red cross is responding to a crisis of this magnitude. 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 direction. and as a town name locally. 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 message is absolutely right. are you able to get emergency supplies to beseiged areas? is the red cross able to reach these civilians that are trapped in my report? because according to the ukranian presence of mister zalinski, he said, 100000 people are still trapped there with no food and no water.

neither the situation is indeed terrible are for, for the people will remain trapped in valuable. we haven't had 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 so 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 under treatment for instance for diabetes and was a non communicable disease does people will need continuity of treatment. so of course like this is also an important concern. we are supporting hospitals like in the city of 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, if access is not allowed to zones like marty, who bowl well, this is, 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, to the people who are in dire need of aid. but this is not always, this is not always possible. so into situations. we also try to that he got assistance or we did he go 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 which i'm requested to, to help facilitate the same message understand. so there's a procedure that needs to take a place in. in conclusion, sir, we understand that the head of the red cross is a mosque out today. the head of the, of the international committee chair of the red cross peter, our isn't, didn't moscow today as he was in ukraine recently as well. this is part of the efforts of the international committee of the red course. this is part of the conversations that we have with parties to the conflict in, in the home and industry and situation. fly on this area from the international committee of the red cross talking to us from the ukrainian city of units. yes sir

. thank you very much. and good luck with your, your very important work. thank you. and why ukrainian present vollmer zalinski address lawmakers in france moments ago. it's the latest in a series of speeches, by present zalinski to foreign parliaments, the ukrainian leader called for a minute of silence for ukraine and for the victims of the war. he also told lawmakers that they have most of the answers in their hands, sending more weapons withdrawing french companies from russia and imposing stronger sanctions. all right, let's find out how his speech went down. we can take you now to paris, where did correspond lisa louis is standing by lisa. mr. zalinski, obviously having a whole list of demands. can france deliver what he's asking for? well, what certain is that frances, very determined to stand by you. crane side,

france has been sending weapons, they've been sending humanitarian report and support. they also have been freezing the assets of the russian central bank here in france and the government is determined to continue to do so. when it comes to sanctions. that's something the l is a told reporters today that france was talking about with european international partners . that would be to the point of discussion later on in brussels, doing meetings with nato. but obviously they are talking about that they are working on that. what for sure is that the french president in my call, has been taking on a very prominent role when it comes a comes to talk between ukraine between russia. he's been in constant touch with the ukranian president and talked to vladimir 14 yesterday over the for now, this has not read a yield. you know that the results everybody was hoping for, that is a cease fire and former negotiations between russia and ukraine. and the lisa,

the presidents, the french president, has, as is playing and has played a very, very prominent role in trying to mediate some form of sci fi, or how is that gone down in france? how is that being perceived? well, when you look at polls that have been carried out here the past 2 weeks since this invasion started about 4 weeks ago, most of the french between 1680 percent really are in favor of french support for ukraine of delivery of the delivery of weapons to ukraine, they also have 80 percent of the french have a negative image of the russian president vladimir putin. and a large majority of the french think that in my, my call has been doing a good job in managing this crisis as much as he could, obviously. and also there are lots of initiatives here in france, just like in other countries in europe and across the world. and thousands of refugees have arrived here in france and has been given shelter. and the french are

sending almost daily news supplies of humanitarian goods, of food, of, of everything that the ukrainian people might need. it's the government, it's, you know, noble people, french people. and there was also a regular demonstrations in favor of the ukrainian people. so i think you can say that the french people are actually standing with in my, my coin is efforts to mediate in this crisis dw correspondingly, so that we are reporting from paris, france. he said, thank you while the war in ukraine has forced millions of people to flee mostly to neighboring european countries, but some jewish refugees had to israel, which grant them the right to immigrate over 4000 ukrainians have arrived in israel says 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,
