since the 2nd world war and the threat of a nuclear escalation hanging over it, ukrainians are continuing to fight and suffer for their freedom. russian forces are shelling cities in various parts of the country, causing widespread destruction and killing innocent civilians. it is people who are living this war to 10000000 in ukraine have been displaced. more than 3000000 have fled the bloodshed in their country. and like other refugees around the world, they're making the heart wrenching decisions to leave their homes and their loved ones for an unknown future. i'm abby, quite often in berlin and this is the day ah, the ukrainians are putting a very stiff defense. it's hard to get rid of the impression that america is holding ukraine by the head. the russians have not achieved any of the
6:03 am
strategic objectives that they set out. nobody should know it will. nuclear power plant has been taken over by force by weapons. the point we and our allies are pulling together that this close design is being used by russia to prepare new attacks against our defense. and i am telling ukraine that they can rely on our support with also coming up on the day, the global stories of people forced to flee due to war famine and tolerance, climate change, economic or political upheaval. the un says one in every se 95th person in the world is a refugee, a new children's book, looks at the human beings make the journey, seeking peace and freedom will talk to one of its co authors. ah, welcome to the program we begin the day with the human suffering of this war. a
6:04 am
freezing health scape riddled with dead bodies is how human rights watch describes the ukrainian city of mary opal. once home to 400000 people. now the most attacked and damaged city in the russian invasion. the kremlin is looking to capture the city to ensure itself a land root. keith is calling on moscow to allow the some 100000 traps civilians to leave. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says russian troops have seized a humanitarian convoy, attempting to bring relief to mary opal's 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
6:05 am
a ukrainian anti aircraft missiles 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. hello, 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, livable inman you pull the city under seed, 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 refuses of law . russia has used more than a 1000 missiles against peaceful ukrainian cities. countless numbers of aerial bombs on the russian troops have destroyed dozens of our cities following some have been burned to ashes. milky are probably in many cities and villages under russian
6:06 am
occupation. our people can't even bury their dead relatives with dignity. these buses are headed close to matthew po. there intended to collect people who managed to flee the besieged city and take them to safety. as the fighting continues, diplomats from both sides had been meeting to try and agree on a way to end the conflict. moscow was demanding ukraine's neutrality and its recognition of russian control over its territories. no breakthrough has been achieved so far, but ukraine's president go to me as a lensky said the talks are moving slowly forward. but i don't remember it, you ought to not. it is, we are continuing to work at different levels to encourage russia to move towards peace, to end these brutal war, ukrainian representatives are participating in virtual talks every day. it's very difficult, sometimes even confrontational, but little by little. we are making progress,
6:07 am
let gruggs or girl gone. he them of put it rush us at the lack of a breakthrough, was the fault of ukraine and the united states. it accused washington of seeking to hinder moscow's talks with keith, to try and turn the tide of the war on ukraine's favor. here is russian. foreign minister survey. love rav. did he go to let you loose. negotiations have begun that they have been difficult because the ukrainian side is constantly changing its position and rejecting its own proposals. that despite them expressing an understanding to the things that should be agreed during the tours. it's difficult not to get the impression that they hand is being held by the americans. if you read the opinions of political scientists, both in russia and the west, the us doesn't want these talks to reach a quick conclusion. this also boost tracking development in ukraine is d w correspondent, as if he's in lovers and western ukraine. i'm in some 100000 people struggling to
6:08 am
survive and marry opal. what more are you hearing about the worth and in conditions there the people who are you pull are really bearing the brunt of this war right now. that's because russia has completely surrounded the city. they're bombing it from the sky. there is fighting in the streets and there's rockets coming from ships that are off the harbor. there. are you pull it on the coast. now the people who are living there, it's very hard to know what they're going through, except by guessing from looking at satellite imagery of the destruction from hearing the few stories that managed to get out of there. we talked with a man a few days ago who just by chance was able to get out of the city and catch a ride out of that area to a safer area of ukraine. now the, the efforts are focused on not just trying to get humanitarian aid into that city, but to get those remaining people out about a quarter of the city's population, a still living they're facing daily and bombardment. the problem is because the
6:09 am
russian troops us around in the city, it makes it nearly impossible to just go in and take people out of their 24 buses were sent on wednesday morning to pick people up, but only to a city just outside of mar, you pool and so the people who made it to the bus, those buses were just those, luckily enough to get out of the city 1st to where the pick up spot was. so it's a really serious situation for everybody has still in there. and unfortunately, very little information coming out at this point. and in terms of the military battles, army and ukraine is reportedly not just on the defensive, but gaining background. how successful have they been in recent days? well the ukrainians are celebrating a very small but significant symbolic victory. today the city council of a small town outside of kia, called boucher. now this basically the suburbs, north west of kia,
6:10 am
where most of the fighting is happening. the city council said that ukrainian soldiers surrounded that city and prepared to take it back from the russians who had occupied the area. now that is symbolically significant, because the russians who advanced on key got stuck just outside of the city. so if you craniums are able to take back areas outside of kia, that means they might be winning the larger battle for the capital city. and that is obviously a major game for ukrainian. so small set forward, but a lot of ukrainians are celebrating that as a way to show that they're not just on the defensive, they might even be gaining some last territory back. you've heard from the un chief who said that this war is on when one been a bull rather. and experts have pointed out that the only way to stop this war is through negotiations. and we know negotiations are ongoing between russia and ukraine. we heard president zelinski called them confrontational law. rob referred to it as difficult. has there been some kind of movement at all with negotiations?
6:11 am
i think in order to understand why the negotiations continue like this and why you here is the last thing. they're confrontation on the one hand, but also that we're making steps forward is because of what you're seeing on the ground. what i just discussed is little maybe surprising victories small, but surprising victories that russia didn't expect even ukrainians may not have expected. when the invasion 1st took place. so i think the lensky right now is holding out to give anything away to russia until people really know on both sides . what the stakes are, what each party to this war has on the table there. so, just a day ago, lensky said, claim that russia only has a few days worth of provisions left for its soldiers. now that could be informational wars to, to work against the morale of the russian soldiers. but russian, the military is really struggling with resources. 10 percent of its military
6:12 am
capacity might of already been lost. they've lost way more soldiers and they thought they would have. so i think when lensky mentioned that it's happening, step that we're making step by step progress. that means that things are happening on the ground that are changing the conditions of the negotiation. so i think what we're going to see is the lensky asking for a little bit more russia, knowing that it can't demand so much in order to bring an end to the conflict that is still claiming dozens of lives every day. if not hundreds. the w correspond, i mean, acid reporting from ukraine. thank you. ah, you as president joe biden is heading to brussels to meet with nato leaders at an emergency summit on ukraine. the alliance is trying to balance further military assistance for ukraine, while avoiding a direct confrontation with moscow. nieto has promised more support to help ukraine protect itself from chemical warfare. but the alliance is also taking precautions
6:13 am
outside the country, deploying soldiers and weapons in eastern european member states. more reinforcements are on the way secretary general yen stolberg says, the alliance will send more troops to hungary, romania, bulgaria in slovakia and will double its number of battle. group station near russia. soleberg has 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, unless we agree to read or boulder efforts to invest more, there is a new sense of urgency because we cannot take peace for granted. earlier we spoke to our nato correspondent in brussels, terry shoals. she told us more about what to expect from the summit. the most
6:14 am
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 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,
6:15 am
of course, willing to send forces to serve on the ground in ukraine. ah, ukrainian president lot, amir zalinski has addressed lawmakers and france. it's the latest in a series of speeches he's given before parliament of allied countries, ukrainian leader called for a minute of silence for ukraine and for victims of the war. he also told french lawmakers that they have many of the answers into this war in their hands are sending more weapons, withdrawing french companies from russia and imposing stronger sanctions. dizzy blue, don't listen to please. we need help even more help and support for freedom not to lose. it should be well armed tanks onto tanks, fighter jets, aerial defense. you can help us and we need it for freedom not to lose the world should support it with sanctions against the aggressor. each week the new sanctions package,
6:16 am

6:24 am
to the united nations. she was born in 1937 in what was then czechoslovakia and emigrated to the u. s. as a child in 1948. her family said she died after a battle with cancer. she was 84 years old. for more i'm joined by our washington correspondent, caroline ashmore, caroline, out from a refugee to the top. american diplomat. how will the us pay tribute to madeline albright was 1st let me say or he law that important to us politicians have already reacted to all rights a dead. for example, u. s. ambassador linda thomas green field to the united nations. she honored old bride as a trade by laser and a luminary remarks on the general assembly in the united nations. shortly after the news of her dad and also net prize, the spokesman of the state department,

6:26 am
course, after many years, she became the 1st female, a u. s. secretary of state in this country, before albright, the inner circle of u. s. foreign policy making had been almost exclusively dominated by men. so her role on the foreign policy establishment also reflects the traditional roles of women in the fifties and sixties. and with her ambition and her strength. she was definitely an, an inspiration who encouraged women to pursue professional careers and on the policy level. albright will be remembered as an international is that she will be remembered for strengthening what she called an assertive multilateralism, meaning multi lateral responses against anti democratic and terrence. from miranda, for example, or haiti, or the balkans, and actually an issue that is now again highly relevant. corrina. sure. more in washington. thank you. that was the day and as ever the
