the journey full of risks. one woman recounts her fears as she cross russian check i. this is that it is the fake, but it was very difficult. she said, because i was afraid they would take my son away here. they made him to his phone on the ground and trample on it because he had american music. an attempt by the red cross to deliver aden, evacuate civilians ended in failure. the organization said the lives of thousands depended on evacuations. ah, we haven't heard anything from all a people are in real life for more than one week. ah, there is, there is still our stop working very well. last we have there are steel and 6 years working in a do not know anything, all the destiny then i when all that they have difficulties because they do not have the well they problems with transport as course cars when our should be damaged. our office was partially damaged,

so that's the situation. been able to wait for the flight, the bombs and cars, the white cloth assigned them me no harm. as many as 870000. that'll trapped in the city. but been devastated by wal this formal orphanage? no. a makeshift bomb shelter for those who can't escape. we came here to the basement. she said, if we stay here because we don't, what happened to our apartment? we run he with what we heart would kill really clog with to bizarre live the red cross that they will attempt once again to reach the city on saturday in a bit to rescue the innocent from what is left of maria hall, only we spoke her and asked her dw correspondent, nick connelly and keith,

what more he can tell us about today's rescue attempts to bring people safely out of maria pole. it's all really difficult to look at what's exactly happening on the ground. and we've had news in the last hour of refugees reaching levine in the west . the country by train having initially got out by car and by bus am on the ground . they're closer to mary paul. there been lots of confusion, lots of disagreement between ukrainian or russian forces about how this is actually going to work. and you'll remember that in the past few weeks, they've been several failed attempts to get people out. or people ending up under fire, where temporary cease fires. we are not respected by the russian side. at least that's the ukraine side of the story. i've spoken to people who got out of my report in recent days and they say at that far from being a well organized slick operation, it's all pretty chaotic on the ground. people are passing checkpoints, then basically passing through no man's land, seemingly for 100 kilometers for they reach the next check point either birth control by the russians or the ukrainians. and then there's to be question of where they're actually going to get to. so it seemed like, for a long time,

the russians were trying to get people out, marable into further russian control territory. lots of from apple won't get back to ukrainian government control. so will, even if they get out of medical, will these people be allowed for the west towards areas still controlled by their own ukraine government? that is the big question for now, it's unclear, but it does seem like this is now such a big story internationally. so much attention on this, that there is a whole lot of pressure on the russians to make this possible and to allow the remaining $100000.00 to so people that we believe is still left to mar, pull to give them a chance to get out in safety well, nick connelly's erin ukraine and for more on the life on the russian occupation, exposed by phone at to a resident of house on the city is in a southern ukraine near the black sea coast. it was se taken over by russian troops in early march a week ago. russian soldiers fired on civilians who were protesting peacefully there against their occupiers. the 30 year old ukrainian man who we are calling

james to protect his identity, gave us his insights into everyday life and her son, since the russian takeover. i've heard the explosion a couple of minutes later. my friend called me up and he told me doors on nothing's been delivered. neither food nor really saying so which do you walker ticket, bicycle for a trip in search of money, food and medicine. most of the coffee shop, sir, so no potatoes and cabbage, instead of marshmallows and keys. at 1st, it was quite overwhelming. the criminals expressed on emotions that

they felt about the region by looking to the eyes of the russian sold. they kept doing this every day for the 1st 3 weeks. you've seen them some point, did the renewal started pushing that to russian lloyd? and on the same team, we've received a report from russia, from the general order, the police forces interest to suppress demonstration team. i think i think the pay station movement costs on lines. we've made some russian officials where we hear the explosions become hotter louder. and yesterday night

i've seen my heading door vibrate like a never seen it vibrate before the radiance i'm getting closer to town. we want our army to liberate us, but we don't know what happens afterwards. we are very much afraid of what is happening to the city of the army and the russians remain. think of the above. you just stop selling at the city. nobody knows, but until now they've been selling every city they could if it's not in their hands . let's bring in navy daddy hulu. yes. so he's the assistant medical director with the ukranian red cross for the odessa region. so thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. we just heard this report on the situation in our son. over the past few weeks,

your team is active there. it's a city that is still controlled by russian forces. how is your staff, how is your team helping the people who are stuck in the city right now? unfortunately, are we, are we have notes to connection with or to see? so a red cross and goal mentor for it is, but we are making the attempts to give them indications centureman terror with the help or for mc alive for red cross. and other volunteers, we are making the terms were with the international red cross to, to build him in order. but it's still not ready. what i mean? what are the main difficulties? because when you see these pictures, obviously medical 8 is probably desperately needed. what are the major hurdles that

you encounter to get medical aid into those cities? the major difficulties are this region is besieged and mental or 2 are on and now out of the condition of connection with us. it is the main difficult. any. how do you try to re establish connection? is there anything you can do or do you basically have to wait until it happens? well, making a attempts to rearrange the connection with them, we are trying to get prior to phone numbers, clinical headquarters and everything else. we are trying to in go down with our private cars and everything else, but we cannot to arrange the whole humanitarian corridor to give

them fully a fully, fortunately from now. so you, you and your team, you're basically there fully staffed, you have all the equipment, all the medication needed, but you can't get to the people who are in need of it. what about those who made it out already of cities such as hassan or maria. paul, all in the south. what state are these people in when they get our to both physically and mentally? oh, well we started to mission with international red cross for our cross border of the disabled people from region to the european countries and we made it to with 6 families for today. it was the 1st attempted. we're going to

do it every day and we are not fully equipped. unfortunately, we're still in need for ambulances with special medical equipment, especially for new born and premature born babies. and we're still waiting for it. but we're trying to. ready do our best to keep our people in health and to get them to say for places and, and how do you and your people actually deal with all that? i mean, the red cross is used to helping people in need to be doing it in a war zone is a very different situation, isn't it? yes. so different situation, especially if we're talking about the red cross organization we be in, in odessa region organization. we cannot move for solely to the care. so region we need to help from our government international red cross to build on to him in

or don't all right, well be daddy julio from the pain and red cross in, in the desa region. i thank you so much for sharing your insights with thank you. enter all the best. all the best to you rush us invasion has left many ukrainians, feeling helpless to defend their communities. but some residents have joined together to help supply ukraine fighters with a fleet of hand made to drones. these volunteers are being credited with helping to track the russian military and both the local efforts against the nation. in this workshop, electronics enthusiasts are assembling some of ukraine's most effective weapons of war. they're self built. drones are destined for the front line to give ukrainian forces and overhead advantage. such drones have been used to carry out observation

missions and even dropped small munitions. and doesn't cost like huge money cost like no more than i phone calls more than this equipment. so a one or 2 failed to save the life and everything was her. in this way. these hobbyists used to raced drones. when russia invaded many fled to the western city of la viv and formed a collective. they build their devices with pots, donated by supporters. from around the worlds here we can help our guys, we can help all a concave. how we can in reshowing knowledge, we can share the knowledge between each other. and like i think that for 3 weeks we need more than for several years in a normal life. russia's military is also using drones. it's released

footage of its troops launching unmanned aerial vehicles. self may drones might be no match for these military grade aircraft. but armed with cameras, ukrainian drones are also being used to document rushes, destruction of residential areas, revealing the horrors of the invasion to the world. it's a war in which drones are being used, both as weapon and witness. this is, did i mean use thanks to watching
