my real pull on friday. but it's a journey full of risk, a place to perhaps one woman recount sophia's. as she crossed the russian check point, this is douglas the big, but it was very difficult. she said once 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 well for more than one week. are there is, there is still our stop working very well. last we have there are steel and 6 in tears. what he meant it wasn't, you know, do not know anything, all the destiny then i, when all that they have difficulties because they do not have

a well they have problems with transport, escrow scars when our should be damaged, our office was partially damaged. so their situation been able to wait for the flight, the bombs and cause the white cloth aside. they mean no harm as many as a 170000 muscle trapped in the city. but been devastated by wal this former often age. now a makeshift bomb shelter for those who can't escape. we came here to the basement. she said yes, but when we stay here because we don't what happens to our apartment? we run he with what we heart was still really clung with to bizarre. left the red cross said they will attempt once again to reach the city on saturday in a bit to rescue the innocent. from what is left of maria po,

early we asked d. w corresponded to nick connelly and keith, what more he can tell us about a day's rescue attempts to bring people safely out of maria pole. it's all really difficult to work out. 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 were not respected by the russian side. least that the crane side of the story. i've spoken to people who got out of my report in recent days. and they say that that far from being a well organized slick operation, it's all pretty chaotic on the ground. people are 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 the big 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 controlled territory. lots would be from apple, want to get back to ukraine. 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 store 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 on the 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 occupiers. and the 30 year old ukrainian man who we are calling

james to protect his identity, gave us his insights into everyday life and chairs on since the russian take over. i heard the leagues closing a couple of minutes later. my friend called me up and he told me doors on nothing's been delivering reminder for laura very saying, so which do you you walker's 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 in the grimness expressed all emotions that they felt about the region. by looking to the eyes of garages,
