has denied any involvement. i'd like to take you now to ukraine, or toby flicker is unicef spokesperson, and he is in western ukraine. mister flicker, i'm told your team, the unicef team was in chrome, a tourist today when the attack happened. that's right. yeah, no, thank you. on we did, we hadn't even cremmit today. they were delivering some supplies medical equipment, hygiene items to the local authorities that a for distribution to hospitals in the, from a source area. and we also have supplies going in yesterday as well. but seeing what were on loading and offloading the supplies when um, bangs. and that was obviously when the, the situation happened. and then they had to, they had to move out quite repeat from chemicals. but it's an area where we've been working for many years. we have an office in chemicals, we've been covering that whole area during the is the conflict in east and ukraine

. i'm so clearly so horrific situation and the protection of civilians and children is absolutely arm. i can you describe to us what your team shared with you in terms of who was there at the time of the attack at the train station. well, the train station was, was very busy. as we know, people have been trying to move out of the east and palms on areas of ukraine and moving further west to where to where i am trying to get to where i am now. and so the train station has been busy over the past few days. it's always busy it's, it's really, it's a hot where you can get trains to, to, to even further west to the dba. and even here i was what i was actually at the train station here in just a little bit talking to people who did arrive. that was a train that came in from crime last night, very early in the morning. and that was the last one that's come in from kind of those goals. and really it's, it's really her situation and on the same team we're able to, to,

to leave relatively quickly. but it's an area that we know very well. i've been working on a number of occasions and it's really tragic for children women and anyone in vote . and the, because this word obviously is having a catastrophic consequences. the material, but more importantly, humanitarian is your organization. racing for an intensification of hostilities in the days to come and how do you intend to help the children and families that you usually aid in those situations? so he says has been scaling up ever since the conflict started. and we've been moving pre positioning supplies across different parts of the country. i was just in the, in the east where we have a hub where we're trying to get supplies in so that we can move from there to reach very vulnerable areas where, where the findings, the heaviest, we have massive monitor and access challenges though in some areas in many of all

and other areas. so that continues to be a challenge, but we are able to reach some places. i was also a teacher in the southeast. i was at the hospital there. they were treating a number of children in intensive care. children who have been hit by like bullets and shrapnel and we were able to bring in supplies there. and that means like surgical items, it means 1st aid kits and hygiene items. just to help alleviate some of the strain that the doctors and i'm a systems of feeling. so we freak her unicef spokesperson joining us from oscar to in western ukraine. thank you so much for taking the time to take our questions. european commission present or is lavender lie and has arrived in the ukrainian capital cave. as part of an u. delegation is the 1st official trip by senior european official since the russian invasion of ukraine. alongside the blogs. foreign policy chief, joseph brown, founder lion visited a mass grave in

a town on the outskirts with let's take a listen now to what the president had to say. it is the unthinkable has happened here. we have seen the cool faith of his army. we have seen the requisite men and the cold heartedness with which they have been occupying the city here in which we saw our humanity being shattered. and it is the whole world is morning with the people of which i land. they are the ones who are, as you said, a defending the border of europe, defending humanity, defending democracy. and therefore we stand with them in this important we can now go now to a v ver in ukraine. did you corresponded young phillips shots is standing by

a until we understand you, commission present or some founder line has just arrived in the capital. keith, what's the significance of this visit? i think the significance quite high. the ukranian theater has a strong methods of support from the sides of the you. they appreciate especially that on the line and traveling by themselves by train to and that's also the you, it's ready to reopen the office as they are across the hope that it's more than in the symbolic act. but looking at the agenda, it seems to be quite concrete, humanitarian topics, and a lot of logistics support. but of course the, the question of drug things and regarding, i guess, and i will also be very high on the agenda from the ukrainian sites. and and for

the we opened our coverage with the deadly train attack in the chroma torso, the russians in the meantime, or moscow i should say, have, has denied responsibility for the attacking crow tours and blames ukrainian fighters. what has the response been from the ukrainian leadership? yes, indeed, the russian defense minister, but that the missile that were youth ukrainian from to my knowledge that's been an official response from the ukranian government yet. but all the people i talk to see it as a typical ally propaganda from the russian side that we've seen many times before in butcher and in other places nobody even remotely. it takes into consideration that the ukrainian have checked the trends basin where a lot of ukrainian flee from, from east on region,

from the war of shelter reporting from levine, ukraine. thank you very much. and ukrainian authorities are bracing for even more gruesome discoveries in the wake of the russian troop withdrawal from the north. as now mounting evidence that civilians were killed, raped, and tortured with hundreds of victims in the town of boucher but ukrainian present for long re zalinski says the situation in that board younger 70 kilometers northwest have keith is quote, much more horrific or correspond eyes on for norman was there and filed this report they have began clearing the rubble, but any hope of finding survivors here is long gone. borrowed yankee lay on the main root of the russian offensive on key of the scale of the destruction is so massive that even emergency workers seem shock. this sham of blood sugar is why

live it. but now we seen with our eyes what the russians did to a peaceful tan. there are no military bases here, missed them. they shot people dead. bombed high rise blocks of 32. i don't understand why really bad the bullet here in the v shoe. when russian planes dropped their bombs on the town in early march, these apartment buildings were demolished. local authorities feared that up to $200.00 civilians were killed. their bodies still buried under the rubble of marie holes in one of the blocks we meet alexander. he is back to sell with some items from his ruined apartment with you. when the russian bombardment started, he managed to flee together with his family. oh, horrible. it's been a damn. it looked like. i'm still right in the same clothes i had on when i left, at least i want to take some things with me. his growth will. this used to be his children's room. his life. i don't really know what to say. don't have words left.

their bastard's, gra putin, in his whole government. you see, can you prove you to florida? oh, if you have locked away a distribution center for humanitarian aid among the residents lining up nina and her family. they lived through a lot during the russian occupation of their hometown, including hunger and constant fear. oh no, i must have known that they were pointing that guns at my daughter and the kids. i went down on my knees and screamed begging them not to rate my daughter. you know what can happen like there from a boy. many he had told us similar story, lena says she is still shaking when she thinks about the weeks under russian occupation. but she will know some clothes and we have to thank her soldiers. they're so brave. they are so brave that they freed up already. okay. look, what they did to my tan. already unco

was once beautiful and green residence told us. now it lies in the ruins. the town is free, but it has paid a high price for its freedom. germany's chance allah sholtes and british prime minister boers johnson have put on a united front after their 1st bilateral meeting in london. the we're in ukraine, dominated the day with the leaders saying, russian president vladimir putin was wrong to assume your would be divided on how to respond to his invasion. rochelle sent germany as serious about ending as dependence on russian gas and oil, but that it will take time to transition to other energy sources. we met for some brussels mistake you now to downing street to where d w. correspond, charlotta shall. some bill is standing by shells over time you back with us. mister shaw, and mister johnson, putting on a united front. what was the key message from the 2 leaders?

absolutely. unity was on full display hair as said, boris johnson, british prime minister greeted the german chancellor, olaf shorts here in london for the 1st time. the 2 leaders, both united in their condemnation of some of the images that have been emerging from that ukraine. not just today, but over the past weeks as well. they both also wanted to stress the friendship between the 2 sides feminist devoris johnson saying it is never been more crucial both saying that in fact, perhaps contrary to what the worship president might have expected or indeed a hopes the west has been united since the conflict began and shorts a saying that the unity on display is perhaps something putin didn't reckon with didn't reckon right. but were there any signs of disunity on their ukraine policy?

because in the pounds germany and the u. k. took very different approaches to ukraine. for example, in the area of military aid absolutely, in the bridge, prentice did have an announcement on millet tree aid today. he saying that the u. k . will of a 100000000 pounds mole in aid in addition to the vast amount this already been supplied of high grade military equipment including 800 tanks, a big announcement that was expected. nothing new from the german chancellor. germany has been criticized both at home domestically and internationally for being perhaps a bit too slow on supplying a weaponry bots or the charge. the thing that they were seeking to do all that they could. it wants to continue sending defense of weapons in the future. the gem chancellor said he also stress the fact that the turn around and sending this weapons with a seismic shift, as you alluded to there in the question for jen policy and therefore

a not to be underestimated at when it came to weapons. premise divorce, or was a, was asked in a question during that press conference. whether or not that could be viewed a, in a way is as antagonistic could escalate the conflict. his response to that was always seeking to do is help ukrainians to protect themselves. and in conclusion, a charlotte or mr. charles or mr. schultz was pressed a number of times on germany's reliance on a russian gas and oil. what was his response that was absolutely wanted the dominating features of the press conference, the some very difficult questions that for the german chancellor on germany's dependence on a russian energy gemini, vastly more dependent on gas, in particular, in comparison to the united kingdom. now, the gem, tulsa re, wanted to stress that they were doing germany was doing all that. it could that it had taken significant steps, but this is not something that could be reversed overnight. nevertheless,

he said that he did feel that steps that were being taken to wean germany and indeed other european countries off russian energy would ultimately be successful. now something that prime minister for his johnson also had very, very whom was for the german chancellor on saying everything that has been done so far and ease planned for the future really is quite remarkable. the prime minister said so, one was that the steps that had been taken, but clearly, gemini, is facing questions as to whether or not more can be done in the future. charlotte shall some pill reporting from downing street, thank you. cremeans spokesperson dmitri pet scoff, has acknowledged that russia has sustained significant losses of troops in ukraine in an interview with scanners. he called it a huge tragedy for russia. it's a rare admission by russian officials of military losses would have. but mister

pascall said that russia still hopes to reach its goals. in the coming days, i shall defense ministry reports that between one and 2000 russian soldiers have been killed. but independent estimate put the number closer to 10000 like to welcome. and now a jacqueline, he's a military analyst at the u. k. defense and security. think tank receive very warm welcome sir. thank you for taking the time to take our questions. a surprising admission by russia that it has suffered substantial losses. what's your read on that? so the russians have taken very substantial losses and they don't have many more troops to commit. which means that this next operation in the dumbass that they have a limited amount of time before they will need to make some difficult choices about mobilizing results and retaining calm. scripts and the last round. now if they do that, they need to prepare the population to admitting that there are rules and explain

why that's necessary. and so i think what we're seeing is that preparing the ground to have options in terms of generating, we'll come back units in around a months time. now we started our broadcast it with a deadly train station attack is a rocket strike on a railway station in east and ukraine, another sign of rushes campaign of intimidation. or is this a typical pattern of warfare by russian forces? it's difficult to tell with the specific strike because attacking rail infrastructure, which is the primary source, the logistics for both the russians and the ukrainians, is a military targets and does make sense. at the same time, the, the russians have been striking, using these ballistic missiles, tactical targets responsibly where they could have a saucer surveillance and reconnaissance of the target. and we know elsewhere that they have to be conducted attacks against civilians. and so the question arises

whether this is a terror tactic. it could be either way, and i think we need more evidence before we jump to conclusions allows, but it's tragically plausible. now the war seems to have entered another phase with russia. turning its attention are focused on don bass, reach and what's your assessment of both sides at this stage. so there's a, there's roughly numerical piracy between the ukrainian defense in the bus and the force is attacking them, which is not a great sign for the russians. but a lot of the ukrainian forces are fixed along the line of columns act by on going artillery bombardment and harassment from mobilized civilians and don't yet. and so the russian attack will likely come around the flags from the north in the south, and try and circle those formations. the real question is whether the russians have enough come about power to close all that in sacraments. if they do,

the guardians will find it very difficult to resupply the units and then they're on, you know, they can any flights long as they have ammunition and water and food. if the russians failed to close the circle, then the russians very likely to, to run out of combat power and about 4 weeks. in conclusion, if russia does manage to take control of the dumbass region and achieves the land bridge to crimea, which is apparently one of its objectives, would that be enough of a win for president putin? or are we likely to still have a very protracted war? continue even after that it would be enough of a short term success that he could claim to achieve something, but i don't think it would be the end of hostilities against kids and we'd from the ukrainian side. why would they accept a sci fi that essentially amounts to allowing the russians to annex more and more of that country every couple of years? so i don't think it will be an end to the fighting. i don't think ukrainians would accept an end to the fighting on those terms. and so we are looking at

a protracted conflict which will likely go up and down in intensity. but nonetheless, persist. just want to get a final thought from you as you point out with the risk of the conflict. becoming drawn out and obviously the conflict is the war is getting worse. the longer this continues in who's advantage is it it partly depends. if the, if the russians decide to mobilize their results and go on to a war footing, then they can bring very considerable numbers of trips to bath. if they don't do that, then that prospects diminish over time. and so the russians really have a strategic choice to make about is ukraine worse, putting their entire national efforts into seizing because they will become very vulnerable in other states is if they continue to try and seize the country. jack bottling, defense and security thing tank arossi. thank you so very much. we're greatly

appreciate your time. thank you. want to say now about the other stories that we are tracking for you right now? 3 people have been killed after gunman opened fire israeli city of tel aviv several others were wounded in shooting at a bar in a popular night life district. security forces later shot dead, the attacker and a gun battle. israel has seen a wave of attacks in recent weeks. the chinese mega city of shanghai is testing its residence on mass for cove at 19 for a 30 consecutive day after announcing a record 21000 new cove at 19 cases. the cities 26000000 inhabitants remain on long down when residents complaining of shortages of food and basic necessities. a landslide has killed at least 10 people in north west columbia, after torrential rains, mud,
