elia we asked d. w correspondent, nick connelly and keith, what war he can tell us about today's rescue attempts to bring people safely out of maria pull 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 of 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 2 weeks, they've been several failed attempts to get people out. people ending up under fire, where temp response will not respected by the russian side. at least that's the crane side of the story. i've spoken to people who got out of multiple in recent days and they say that far from being a well organized slick operation. it's all pretty chaotic on the ground people of passing checkpoints and 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 people merkel want to 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 ukrainian 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 a mere pull to give them a chance to get out in safety next connelly there in ukraine, and for more on life under russian occupation, nick spoke by phone to a resident of her son. the city is in southern ukraine near the black sea coast. it was seized by russian troops in early march. a week ago. russian soldiers fired on civilians who were protesting peacefully there against their occupies the 30 year

old ukrainian man who we are calling james to protect his identity. gave us his insights into everyday life in harrison since the russian takeover i've heard of the explosion and then couple of minutes later, my friend called me up. he told me the war is on the nothing's been delivered either nor embarrassing. so it's do you, you walk or take a bicycle for a trade in search of money, food and medicine, and most of the coffee shop, so, so no potatoes, cabbage instead of marshmallows and gave me at 1st it was quite overwhelming. the premium express

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

i've seen my heading doors vibrate, like i've 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. let me just stop selling at the city. nobody knows. but until now they've been shooting every city they could, if it's not in their heads. the russia invasion of ukraine is also threatening germany's energy supply. many companies are heavily reliant on russian gas for production and fear problems with deliveries could severely damage the output. did at least a gerry dream reports from the city of new heim,

where the german chancellor has visited and effected steel plant. with russia threatening energy supplies to europe, the possibility of a shortage of gas and all this uncertainty is making german industry rather nervous . and so chancellor, olaf sholtes has come here to this steel plant in the rule region of western germany. it's one of the country's most densely populated regions and largest industrial centers. some makers of steel have said that they've had to recently cut production because of rising energy prices. and so a shortage of gas would only add to that because making steel is hugely energy intensive and requires a reliable supply of energy. if the german government does say, have to end up rationing gas will then industrial uses like this one would be among the 1st to face cuts. for now though, the german government says there is enough gas for everybody, but it's urging all consumers to do their beach and reduce their consumption as

much as possible to deadliest territory there. let's get you up to speed now and some other global headlines. video footage just released has revealed to the destruction many towns in northeast and ukraine has suffered during russia's invasion. ukrainian states tv footage shows the town of sumi, near the russian border which has been under siege. he craner forces have retaken areas in the north of the country. as russian troops withdrew ukrainian documentary, filmmaker and photographer max livin has been found dead in a village near the capital key if he'd been missing since mid march, according to initial information, levin was shot by russian soldiers. however, investigations are still ongoing. 3 longer has imposed a nationwide curfew to stop protest against the government. the new restrictions will be in place till monday morning. earlier this week, demonstrators clashed with police during protests, over shortages of basic supplies, like food, fuel,

a better worse hopes. western little democracies were asleep when the new rush was forming. this one was attacking in cross tobacco, that again when it was attacking ga, crimea don bass in ukraine. and so what we're witnessing now is in a way, the consequences of this little of this lack of counter action on the part of the west catholic amy, it is a dot that there was not in his 2014 documentary, my don on april west uprising last nita used only long takes to capture what he says was the truth of the historic mo, e, but feel a broker. so yeah, even the style of my film is in a way opposed to this method of propaganda. that like the russian propaganda newsreel, which presented a very different picture of what was happening in ukraine operate. but wasn't it that is also controversial in ukraine? in part because his documentary, barbara, yar context about a nazi massacre outs,

i keep in 1941 included scenes showing locals celebrating the arrival of the nazis and standing by as they round up the jews. but also because even after the russian invasion, glinetta refuses to support a full boycott of russian cinema in response ukrainian film academy kicked him out . 6 for those, i'm absolutely against the proposed total boy caught of russian cultural figures and russian filmmakers. we've actually been opposing the re, i'd have been condemning the war because we do that if we caught them as well as everyone else in a way what will be betraying a weight estimates. listen it's, i says he's no profit and he's no politician. his films don't speak for ukraine, but try to depict the world and the war as he sees it. in watching d w. news coming up next, the documentary, hello,
