7:04 pm
working on a number of occasions and it's really tragic for children, women, and anyone involved it 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 1st started and we've been moving pre positioning supplies across different parts of the country. i was just in the pro, in the east where we have a hub where we're trying to get supplies in. so that we can move from that to reach very vulnerable areas where, where the findings, the heaviest, we have massive monitor and access challenges though in some areas in many opponent, other areas. so that continues to be a challenge, but we are able to reach some places. i was also

7:06 pm
a short time ago. it is the up think of all has happened here. we have seen the cool faith of his army. we have seen the requisite men and the cold hearts with which they have been occupying the city here in hotel. we saw our humanity being shattered and it is the whole world is morning with the people of which they are the ones who are as you said, a defending the border of fuel defending humanity defending democracy. and therefore, we stand with them in this important fight of visibly a shock to president of the commission. there, let's take you now to ukraine, to be corresponded. general of shoals is in love. if young philip, the commission present or resolve under a lion, is now as we speak, you're holding
7:07 pm
a press conference with ukrainian president zalinski. can you tell us a little bit what the significance of her visit is in ukraine? i think the visitor sense a very strong message to the ukranian people. it's highly appreciated that so if one airline personally came to kia by train and so that she also visited sir boucher and talked to to victims of the massacre. however, the most difficult. so the topic remains of ours, which is the in parts of oil and gas by european countries. as you know, you officials admitted that sir european countries still imports energy from rush, i worth billions of euros per day. and it seems very unlikely that there will be any common grounds on this topic during the visit. and as you're reporting a, we're showing pictures of the ukranian president lemar zalinski and the u commission president or is a founder line,
7:08 pm
taking questions after their meeting. and let's talk about this, is this a fatal attack that we opened our broadcast with the train attack? incremental force. moscow has denied responsibility yet for that attack on the train station and blames instead. ukrainian fighter is how is the ukrainian leadership but reacted? yeah, indeed, the ukraine, the russian defense ministry said it was an attack by ukraine. they even want to start investigation now, to my knowledge that hadn't been any official reaction to this by, by the ukrainian government, local officials in the area clearly blame the russians. and also a lot of western countries say that there is a lot of indications, a lot of evidence pointing at the russian. it is true that the miss sites that were
7:09 pm
used apparently seem to be used by russians and by ukrainians. but everybody i talked to today that it is almost impossible that the ukrainians attacked station where a lot of ukrainians are fleeing the war. and they see it. that's another lie by russia, another trip by gun attempts that we've seen in books and, and so many other places. and in conclusion, philip, how if people reacted to this tragic incident. i've talked to many ukrainian today, and they all say this is pure terrorism. and if it's true, if you look at the picture, it looks like a terrorist attack. pictures that we have seen so many chime, the 1st, the invasion then butcher. now cremmit chars. it seems to get worse every day. the
7:10 pm
pain found by the ukrainians get worse, and it seems a very, very difficult in this situation to find any peaceful solution to the conflict at the moment of shots reporting from levin. thank you very much. thank you. germany, chancellor, olive sholtes and british prime minister boers johnson have put on a united front after their 1st bilateral meeting in london. the war in ukraine dominated the day with the leaders saying, russian president vladimir putin was wrong to assume europe would be divided on how to respond to his invasion. mister shaw said germany is serious about ending is dependence on russian gas and oil, but that it will take time to transition to other energy sources to last time we mistake you now to downing street to where d w correspond. charlotta. chelsea bill is standing by shells over time you back with us a mr. show. so mr. johnson putting on
7:11 pm
a united front. what was the key message from the year to leaders? absent a 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 criminal devoris johnson. thank it has never been more crucial both thing than in fact, perhaps contrary to what the russian president might have expected or indeed a hopes. the west have been united since the conflict began a choice a thing that the unity on displays, perhaps something putin didn't reckon with didn't reckon went. but were there any signs of disunity on their ukraine policy because in the pounds germany and the u.
7:12 pm
k. took very different approaches to ukraine, for example, in the area of military aid obsidian, the bridge prentice did have an announcement on millet tree aid to day. he saying that the u. k. will offer a 100000000 pounds mole in aid in addition to the vast amount that's already been supplied. i have high grade military equipment if 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. but the chance of saying 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
7:13 pm
a not to be underestimated at when it came to weapons. prime minister bore storms and 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 or the conflict. his response to that was always seeking to do is help ukrainians to protect themselves. and in conclusion of charlotte or mr. charles or mister 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, germany 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,
7:14 pm
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. not something that prime minister force 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 with 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. in washington, every news life from berlin. here's a reminder of our main story. at least 50 people, including 5 children, have been killed in a rush, an air strike on a train station in the eastern ukrainian city of crematory. thousands of civilians were at the station at the time of the attack,
