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 falling and some have been burned to ashes or 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 pole. there intended to collect people who managed to flee the besieged city and take them to safety. in total 9 humanitarian corridors are planned 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 har keith and works at the european expert association which focuses on ukrainian relations with the you and nato. thank you so much for joining us, emory. i understand that we are speaking to you in harkey, ukraine 2nd largest urban center in ukraine, which has been under constant bombardment. what's lifelike? yes, the hard case is still on the system. i tell shalon from russian troops, it means that russia is not able to do anything on the ground to so they frail was this plan to get capture? or what are in sako the city? that's why russia now uses the tech arrives and for us. so they constantly shalon doesn't talk day and night, it goes all day long and it's a threat i and that means that people which are leaving in the houses that are

destroyed because of the shadows have to leave the the quote. so they'll, so for like just information reports to give the number of more than 1000 build them thought 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, 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 grade these are you monitor and cried in hard, you 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 say to russian troops are now on the north and north east of clark, if there is a store made there. so they do not advance. and the even more you grain none 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 there, although it is not safe because russia is showing that areas 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 berg, 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 chemical is very possible. and as i am result in russia is information. i see that russia, or at some period already is greek and of ground for false lack operation, because russian ministry of defense has already claimed that they know that ukraine courses have

a mind the chemical plants in ukraine and need brought in some way. and nikolai and our band and blow them when rush and blaze will be flying a boat, that it means for us that the russia is preparing to prepare itself to a chemical attack and will try to put so to use to ukraine on that. and that's why they prepare and information ground for the close that corporation. so the threat as were real and of course it is threat them and the threat them they will end here in, in the stated because now it's all over the media and people who can now for the information on the internet, what to do in the get of the chemical lab on at tech and 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 defense. whereupon now, because russia is on, in the total war,

and it is now destroy and completely destroying the population reveal and in ukraine, and that's why all possible means or for defense should be given to your grant and then birthplace. that's what the air defense systems and what's the deal it says and fighter jet that will allow you to, to shelter and to defend the guide. because that just what is used by russia to bombard our thesis. and also might be used to bombard chemical facilities because one of the leakage is that we have now is in so my a richer than me by region too hard because there is a big chemical plan there. and there are storage is ammonia, which already was shout and there was already a leakage on one year over there. rafa at the at the european expert association in hockey, ukraine. thank you so much for your time. nato leaders are preparing to meet for an

emergency summit on ukraine. u. s. president joe biden is due to join the other has of nato member states in brussels on thursday. the alliance is balancing more military help for ukraine to fight the russian invasion while avoiding direct confrontation with moscow. nato has station more soldiers and weapons in eastern european member states and secretary general against oldenburg, as also promised more 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, we'll have far reaching implications. major reinforcements to our security will require major investments in the fence. 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 a piece for granted. want to take your 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 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 thus a message they want to send both to the kremlin and also the 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 out of there already for about a 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 briggs 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 camel 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,

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 senator 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 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 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. your thank you so much, terry. when, as i know about the other developments related to the war, poland has expelled 45 russian diplomats,

who it says are kremlin spies. as spokesman for the government says, it was part of warsaw, the dismantling of the russian special services network in poland. marsha says the accusations are groundless, and it reserves the right to take retaliatory action. lanham report and says, russia will start charging what he called unfriendly countries in rubles for the gas they by, mister perkins said, a freeze on russia's assets by foreign nations had destroyed moscow's trust. in, quote, compromise currencies, like the dollar and the euro. evolution of looking for francis has made a fresh appeal for peace in ukraine. the catholic church leader pay tribute to the victims of the war and said buying and producing more weapons is not the solution for the problem. he urged both sides to work together for peace.

ukrainian present villarille zalinski has address lawmakers in france. is the latest in a series of speeches by mister zalinski, to foreign parliaments. the ukrainian leader called for a minute of silence for ukraine and for victims of the war. he also told lawmakers that they have most of the answers in their hands, sending or weapons were drawing 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 of course one lisa louis is standing by lisa. mr. zalinski, obviously having a whole list of demands. can france deliver what he's asking for? well, it certainly is that frances, very determined to stand by you cry inside 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 the sanctions that something the l is a told reporters today that france was talking about with european international partners. that would be, it would be a point of discussion later on in brussels, doing meetings with nato. but obviously they are talking about that they are working on that. what's for sure is that the french president, in my call, has been taking on a very prominent role when it comes a comes to talks between ukraine, between russia. he's been in constant touch with the ukranian president and talk to bloody me 14 yesterday over the for now, this has not read a yield, yielded the results. everybody was hoping for that is a ceasefire and former negotiations between russia and ukraine. and the lisa, the president, the french president, has, as is playing and has played a very,

very prominent role in trying to mediate some form of ceasefire. 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 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 him on my coin, his efforts to mediate in this crisis dw correspondingly. so we are reporting from paris france. he said, thank you since the beginning of russia's invasion of ukraine, more than 360000 refugees from ukraine have passed through neighboring moldova. the small country is one of europe's poorest, and it is struggling to cope. but many residents also fear it could become the next target for russian president vladimir putin. and that's because of trans nissan, an unrecognized break away state that declared independence from old over in the early 19 ninety's, with russia's backing russian troops are still stationed there. and many mold owens,

say they feel threatened by their presence reaching these villages east of the nice to river in moldova means embarking on a little odyssey. a ferry, dating from soviet time, stops off here a few times a day. this route over the water is the only way to get there without venturing into separatist tertiary, in mode of, of east through trans mystery. even food is often transported by this detour, using the ferry, according to arena, tavara new, who wanted to trans mischief for an n g o. we got a bid, there's been an illegal military presence on our land for over 30 years. will soon pass by a so called peacekeeping troop, where there are also russian soldiers. we've never really felt safe at the pier is victor. tim is a war veteran who has fought against the russians on the way to his home. we passed several military checkpoints,

manned by russian soldiers. 1500 are officially stationed here. but security, so say that including reservists disfigure could be 10 times higher. added to this is 20000 tons of russian military equipment. after victor got into trouble with some russian soldiers, he was forced to leave his house in trans nestea. he now lives in his parents house in the republic of moldova. he doesn't want to think about the prospect of a russian invasion. yo, she nodded. movement will if that happens, everything would return to how it was that a years ago with all of russia's well known methods of punishments, logo, i would probably be deported to siberia or they would shoot me. every one is scared of the russians. rickety mission knows what he's talking about. he's kept his old uniform from the 1990 to walk between trans mistrial and the former

soviet republic. moldova, the short war ended in several 100 said and independence from moldova for trans mysteria, which isn't recognized internationally, but is financed by russia. lou, i lost 3 friends in that war. we had been together as a group with the worst moment was when one of us steps on a mine, as usual. yet victor t mish serves his home go wine and raises his glass. the victory for ukraine. people here have long since come to terms with living in a divided land encountering russian soldiers on a daily basis. and they fear they could be russia next. targets need dam me, whiskers. he of course we're scheduled by the children are also terrifies because

we know what can happen, especially here in these villages. them quicker. my faith, that those are modes of a doesn't have a proper military to speak of and is neither a member of nato or the e. you leave in the country and it's residence, feeling exposed, and other nears. now, corona virus cases are at record levels even as germany begins phasing out the last of its restrictions. nationwide. the countries president hung about a shy meyer is among those who have tested positive. he and his wife are now isolating. while the world health organization says several european nations are being too rash and scrapping restrictions only to see arise in infections including among health care workers. i think it's another hectic day at this clinic in the german city of hanover. the workload keeps growing, but the number of doctors and nurses is shrinking. many are off sick with coven. 19 . it's having impact on every in the hospital. as a result,

we count off of beds to all the patient. so need them. and some plan procedures are 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 their full range of services. the 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're experiencing maximum occupancy has to be opposite. we have more coverage on patients in our regular wards than ever before. of the normal shots on, even on yahoo, across germany, about 24000 patients are currently in hospital with copays 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. you know that we have

a considerable number of coating on team passions on the non awards. we're seriously ill or what we have. so it's not just a simple cold, as some people claim, if he was active, not from the coven, 19 crisis keeps on changing. and this is especially evident in hospitals, where it's also clear that it's far from over. the world's top ranked female tennis layer, australia's ash bardy, has unexpectedly retired from the game at the age of 25 or bardy 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 bought his last outing was as the newly crowned australian open sheffield. she celebrated breaking the thriving 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 red dress and returned to the red center of the country to try to

inspire the next aboriginal grand slam champion. 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 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 in washington. every news here is a recap of our top story. russia's efforts to occupy the key ukrainian port, city of mario paul, continue the bomb striking and industrial compound. presidents bodamer zalinski
