people will answer this call to action. we have seen demonstrations worldwide in many parts of europe and i'll swear even before prior to this announcement what i make it, what i find quite interesting in that call to take to the streets that he actually did it in 3 languages in rush, yearn in english and in ukrainian and especially in washing, he made clear that the russians should also realize that this is not their woe. and they shouldn't. i'll basically buy into this russian propaganda. he says, but you also call them to politicians. there are several summits to take place to day g, southern ne, to summit you summit. president biden is also here in is also in europe. and so he called basically politicians to a not risk a division amongst them, but to actually also have a unified response to stop. this was so very emotional address. once again for president savanski, there was quite interesting here in ukraine, the people who actually decided to return to this country now against all odds and despite the war that's going on,

we met one women here live who wants to show resistance by returning here and help her local staff to secured their jobs. let's have a listen. they escaped horror. the last trach boarding, one of these trains to poland, luba and her 2 grandchildren took 4 days to get here from her keith. a city heavily bumped domus bleckley at home and bela clear in the hockey region. horrible things are happening after a bombings, dead bodies are lying around in the village for those who villages were completely destroyed. is it that a little she is lost? as emily, her grandchild, 16 year old carroll doesn't know if he will ever return to ukraine. delicious. i will stay with my parents on poland. i will study and live there somehow. that says there was the images of people fleeing ukraine,

most of them women and children in great. however, a small but growing number is headed back to ukraine. most of them men are ready to fight, but his estimated one in 5 is a woman. and a woman like lilia, a designer, she fled from keith on the day, the war began to france. now she's back and then was leave all. it's impossible to leave my team behind award for them. but i need to give people jobs the race in the future. yeah, that's why i'm here from, we're thought and we have about him. my return is about supporting ukraine. and those who don't know whether to return on what to do, how to live up to the daily, shaken by the brutality of this war, she says she wants to secure jobs for her team or had to flee from keith. she's able to give work again in this wedding dress factory. she found a temporary workspace message lousy. knock my message to all women who are abroad

on who may think about returning. and what to do here is just all i want to tell them. shawn, we have the strongest men in the world and you said, shall vicki with him. we will win and can overcome any things the lion long. despite the optimism, the war is present here to our interview interrupted by eric, silence is now. so they're at siren again. i wish there was a girls if you want to go down go over them. i had samples. i really i am on. yeah. yes. we'll use, i'm afraid because it's unpredictable with the cost of light sun, nebraska's oil. thank a lamb. we need to stay alive for those of us at the factory, you can be a target to lee the explains as we had to the bunker, but just how responsible is it to ask others to return to you quain out lilia makes clear,

gotten it by danny and everyone is responsible for their own action. but in my, in law edition, on the 7th, and everyone decides for themselves what they do, this is what they say, the choices they make. what ukraine means of them nuclear, you know, all right, this is my choice. yahoo berlin, that a stuck and the consequence of their choice of leaving or returning plays on here, at this train station in levy. honey, the invasion, the star said a month ago, you are in keith at the time. take us back to that day. what was it like i remember basically waking up to what i 1st thought was someone slamming the hotel room door real, real hard to then realize that this was an explosion followed by several other explosions of that early morning, shortly after 4 am. it was a situation where people were under shock,

where journalists are in the same hotel where we were staying. where under shore people were basically going down on the road to report while others were remaining and, or tell try to report from their balconies. not knowing just is it really the beginning of the war? is it just a few explosions? and that's it said it was confusion, but especially shock on the ground. i've seen people who were trying to flee as soon as they could already, by the way, the way before the door. you could have this, you could feel the stance atmosphere in the air and nobody, even when the war broke out, when he's full scale invasion, began actually thought that he's going to happen, or we spent there the week are leading up to this full scale invasion and there was so much speculation, so much discussion going on if there is going to be an invasion. and rather than just going to be just in quotes in the dumbass region or elsewhere. so a day in his story, 4 weeks ago, where we still do not know what the consequences, the full scale consequences are going to be as this war,

wages on the russian war against ukraine. fanny petra in la v. thanks so much here reporting and here's a look at some of the other developments in the war. a reporter working for an independent russian website has been killed and keith news outlet. the insider said oksana. belinda died when russian forces shelled a suburb where she had been filming damage from an attack. at least 5 journalists have now died since russian troops invaded ukraine. 4 weeks ago. i took kremlin aid has become the 1st member of futons in a circle to quit his post over the russian invasion anatoly. to bice was putin's envoy to international organizations that he's better known as the architect of russia's post soviet economic reforms. poland has expelled a 45 russian diplomats accusing them of being kremlin spies, govern government. spokes person said it was part of walsall,

dismantling of the russian special services network in poland. if given most of the group 5 days to leave the country moscow called the accusations absurd. now it's a big day for diplomacy in brussels today with the leaders of nathan g 7 and european union countries all coming together. the talks on how to deal with the war in ukraine, nato secretary general young berg was among the 1st to arrive for an emergency summit of alliance leaders. us president joe biden is also in the belgian capital and will be taking part in all of today's consultations. now speaking ahead of the start of the talks, nato chief stilton berg said, russian president vladimir putin made a big mistake by invading ukraine and that the alliance needed to prevent the conflict from spreading. we meet here at the nato headquarters facing the most serious security crisis in the generation. we need to do more,

therefore we need to invest more on that. there is a new sense of urgency, but we have also made it clear that we will not send in nato troops on the ground or need to planes in the air. we do that because we have a responsibility to ensure that this conflict do not escalate beyond ukraine. that will cause even more suffering even more that even more destruction. and from more of that, we can cross straight to our brussel correspondent band. they get that we just heard nato secretary general stoughton burg. they're saying we need to do more. but also that nato won't put boots on the ground or planes in the air. how can nato do more and all that any signs, but what they're doing is deterring putin. some member's dad's ver, deliver more ammunition more and did tank massage and more, and he aircraft massage to ukraine to the ukranian. i'm him so that they can fight . but otherwise,

the military to books of nato is quite empty and native so far was not able to deter the russian bore machine or even to influence the cause of the boar. nato is rather concentrating on its own defense and calls of from her presidency lensky . of ukraine, who will be a guest by a video link of this native summit will go unanswered. there will be no fly zone. there will be no fighter jets for ukraine. so, and, and now, and nato is in, for, in reinforcing its own capacities. there will be 4 more battle groups are stationed in the east, and the odds are more troops from the united states coming over. but this is to prevent that the war spreads over and that nato gets drawn into this conflict. so am not much to deter russia. actually. let's talk about unity. the 1st days

of the world war were marked by strong unity by ear and native men as one month into this conflict. does that unity still hold? but it does the message of this 3 summons to day. here in brussels is unity and resolve. there are internal discussions about what can be done more and more sanctions, more helpful ukraine, especially poland, comes forward with some proposals like a peace keeping force by nature. but this has no chance to be a realised because or other members state say that the blue not happen. so the, the front of if you can say that is quite a united. and this is also the purpose of this whole endeavor today to show russia that the west is still united on this and once an end of the war. and once an end of the war, crimes only gets in brussels. thanks so much. now

vladimir putin believed his invasion would result in a quick victory. instead, his army has become embroiled in a bit of war. one that has seen the russians target civilians. a warning this next report contains images that some of our viewers may find distressing. an apartment block under fire will this is mary a paul, the ukrainian city russia has been targeting since the start of its invasion targets include its citizens, his paid a heavy price. this distraught mother holds her sleeping child. her other child was killed in russian shelling for those still here. there's a little left you are,

you have nothing to eat. it's awful. it's just awful. no lie, dear. no heat, nothing when russian forces have attacked schools. yeah. he freed us from vacation and community buildings. when this theater was bombed, it was acting as a shelter for hundreds of people. it's still unclear how many died, leukemia hospitals to have been targeted. oh, this pregnant woman who was film being rescued from mario pals. maternity hospital later died half an hour after her baby was delivered stillborn. since the war began a month ago, there have been more than 60 attacks on ukrainian medical facilities, including hospitals, according to the world health organization. oh, over the last few weeks,

russian air power and artillery have struck at residential areas in other cities like car cave, google, google, could this monster one. my god. monster come up with something like this. to destroy everything. people are starving. there is no water, no wood for heating, and he decided to destroy a city in the 21st century. a beautiful city, water water, the 3rd warden. one month on it seems no one, not even children are safe in putin's war. more until now by d. w. report have roman gun sharon co from d w. 's, russia, ukraine, and eastern europe department or him. and it's very difficult not to be terribly moved by images that we've just seen in that report. it's clear that persons war is

devastating. ukraine has this war though. now, will said, become a disaster for russia? well, yes, of course, but in a different way. so russian cities are not bombed. russian children are dying, donald hiding in shelters. millions of russians are not clean the country. some are, but it's a minority. what on the other hand, of course, it is also for sure because the russian economy has been hit the hardest to the full of the soviet union and is just developing a western, imposing new and new sanctions in russia. and this whole period 30 years up to 1991 . it's over, it's done. russia is a prostate now and it's a disaster. he a mess. you mentioned the western sanctions that a crippling the russian economy. yesterday putin announced a plan to try to force the west to boost his economy. let's take a quick lesson. do them as a number of the western countries have taken illegitimate decision on the so called freezing of russian are certainly the models get. i think this collective west is

actually drawn a line under the reliability of currency, so that you've already spoken about this across the trust in these currency to hear from old navy. it could this attempt to force western countries to pay for gas in rubles work given that many european countries are very dependent on russian gas. well, we don't know because it's a completely new situation. we've never had it and it could work for some time. at least because no western countries, especially here in europe, are very dependent on russian gas. but on the other hand, they are making plans to get rid of that dependence by the end of this year. my guess is that this will happen sooner. and russian plan to, to support its own currency to support its central bank sanctioned by the west will probably work for a couple of weeks or a couple of months at most. but then i think the sanctions will force also the

western side to get rid of russian guess and to stop to and that dependency. and we've been hearing this morning. ukrainian forces has made advances against the russian navy near the port city of baghdad. and what can you tell us about that? well, it's a new development and to we have some reports from your grade that in the occupied city of been down on the c. as all, some you can and party designs managed to, to attack a russian ship, a big war ship. it's probably the biggest success for the ukranian army and so far on the, on, on c against a russians or war ships. we know reports that the ship sank and we know that she was the 1st to come to the occupied seat. you have been down a few days ago and it brought a load of apc's armored personnel carriers. it's. it's a sheep, the good carry up to 48. p. c is up to 20 tanks. so it's a huge loss for the russian army brennan. gun friend from d. w. 's, russia,

ukraine in eastern europe department. thanks so much. let's take a look at some of the other stories that were following for you at this hour the united states, 1st female secretary of state, madeleine albright has died. albright served under president bill clinton from 1997 to 2001 before that. she was washington's ambassador to the united nations. a family said that she had been suffering from cancer. she was 84 years old. a storm in paraguay has killed at least 3 people and damaged numerous homes. schools and health centers. flash floods have hit the capitol at some see on up to several days of heavy rainfall, turning the streets of the city into rivers. to make his prime minister has told britons prince william the e caribbean island aims to become an independent nation. the remarks come during a week long tour of former british colonies. i prince william and his wife kate

a time because he didn't conform to soviet ideals. but he kept going and became one of ukraine's most distinctive musical voices. must you latvian violinist get on kramer performed a piece by sir leicester of at a memorial concert for victims of the 1941 bob in your massacre when nazi troops murdered over 33000 jews outside keith. both kramer and sylvester of share a commitment to fighting against violence and to tell a tarion as him and right now against putin and his war on ukraine. good, tim burton is basically an international terrorists on par with bin laden with a 1000 times more powerful and dangerous. wish me a benefit concert for ukraine at the kaiser vit have memorial church in berlin. as soon as sylvester arrived in the german capital,

he began campaigning for ukrainians. at the same time, she's against calls for a boycott on russian culture. a chest, yours has a tendency. now to ostracize everything russian russian coach has given the world so much from music to painting, little thought as o a mirror despite a war that threatens the very existence of his home country, sylvester stands by his personal convictions. oh mary douglas, which it, it misses to schools. the world is so loud, driven by desire to become more and more monumental in it, but the engine, but this monumental ism is unbearable entirely as mature of the wind. that isn't, we want to return to quiet and calm dish in lieu. his compositions are quiet and com, or reaction against
