presenting future's past starts april 14th on d, w. ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin to night, a death told in the 10s of thousands in the ukrainian city of mario hope of that is the estimate coming from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. after more than a month of relentless shelling by russian forces on the port city, also coming up to night, the austrian champs are called ne hummer tells rushes. vladimir prudent that the warden you've brain must end. he's the 1st european leader to meet food in moscow

since the invasion began, and that is raising eyebrow. plus pakistan swears in a new prime minister after a week of political turmoil, opposition, politician and shabba sharif, has been elected by parliament. he came after lawmakers from the party of alfred, former prime minister in bron con, walked out ahead of the boat. ah, i'm regard to our viewers watching on p b s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin this monday with the ukranian city that have seen the most intense fighting since the russian invasion began. more than 6 weeks ago. tens of thousands are dead in mario pole. that's according to the ukranian president boulder. miss zalinski. now, speaking to south korean lawmakers today,

lensky appealed for more weapons to help his country defend itself. of the port city of murray of whole, has been under relentless, russian bombardment for weeks. officials say much of the city lines and ruins in that tens of thousands are trapped with little or no food or water. russia says that it will focus now on eastern ukraine and intensify its military efforts there . earlier i spoke to our correspondent rebecca readers in the western ukrainian city of levine, and she spoke about the height, depth told that were seeing in the port city of maria pal. hard to imagine how president lance he's estimates could be very far off. i mean, if you think about the worst image as you've seen in war, the most devastating picture is coming out of any conflict. that is what's happening in mary paul since the beginning of this war, as you just reported, that city has been under constant russian bombardment and people have been living there without access to food, electricity, communication, and most crucially,

without access to any drinking water. people have been in that we here have been in their bunkers almost the entire time the ukrainians are defending that city and that's creating even further bombardment from the russian side. i've spoken very hard to get news out of mary paul, but i have spoken to a couple of people who escaped and they told me of their harrowing stories of living under that sage. so hard to get out of that city. one doctor i spoke to you told me that those same so terrific scenes we've seen in boucher once. we say what's happening in mary paul that'll be boucher times 10 voted times 100 times 1000. so it's very hard to imagine that president, sometimes he, unfortunately, that his estimates are very far off. there was our correspond rebecca, readers, they're speaking to us from levine. and she has also visited the, the upper reaches and then the pro regions to talk to some of those who have fled

from burge regions and as russian forces regroup for a more focused attack on the southeast of ukraine. people in those areas have been told to evacuate. well, the still can. a mass migration is under way of thousands search for relative safety in the west of the country. our correspondent finish his report tonight. this was a supermarket parking lot before the war. now it's the 1st place where people who've managed to flee marry you paul, and others southern cities can breathe at last without fear. it's just 25 kilometers from the russian forces who destroyed their homes and lives more than 80000 people have passed through here since russia invaded most don't want to talk about what they have gone through. but ogre says, life under occupation was impossible. and evacuation was difficult to we got your email, we registered to get out

a while ago. we were waiting for around 3 weeks. we were waiting and waiting, and it turned out the russians had stolen. the evacuation buses we are seeking for people are also waiting for news of the disappeared. they leave notes for any one who can help them find their loved ones. he has searching for wives searching for ah, father and mother. to the north. the city of ne pro, where even more people come to escape the fighting. nay pro is the main hard for people evacuating the south and south east areas in the dawn bass and zap erasure regions. thousands of people have come through here already and thousands more. are expected in the coming days as the southeast region prepared for an intensified russian attack. they're also coming here shocked by what happened on the weekend. in another train station, just a few hours up the tracks. the rocket attack that killed 50 people, including children and crammed tours as they were trying to live

in the pro the refugees. mostly women and children have found relative safety. but the mayor is asking them to move on further west. there's no guarantee the war won't come here to a war. the men must stay behind and fight if they can or not. earl bruce me, my husband told me to leave him in the cellar and to go on my own. i said, no, i will not leave you now. how could i leave you here to die? one is the hotels my husband didn't want to leave on. he sent us away. he said, he said if the russians come, he would tear them apart. look there for the lights, families being torn apart too, as the battle for control of the east grows ever fiercer. from the east to the north, the city of china here in northern ukraine was besieged by russian forces for weeks

and following the russian withdraw from the region, the horrors of what happened there. they are just now coming to light or corresponded alexander phenomena. she filed this report to night from churney the city of chimney hill after weeks of siege and have a shelling by russian forces we meet fit, lana, and valentino sipping coin a local hospitals where they survived, but were both injured in an air strike that hit their house, the ballistic wounded some one logan took less than a 2nd. loosely sweet. we just heard a whistle yet gloom symbol i screamed get down. wasn't covered my son, cylinder glue, savoy. even school valentin still has surgeries ahead of him. svetlana is doing a little bit better. she shows me pictures of their house before and after the attack, there's done up on why did they attack us over?

i don't know, we didn't do anything bad. where civilians are still the quinn, islam. the hospital itself was not spirit either. balked and rushed load. the hat of the charmer center here, tells us after russian strike his team struggled to keep going. with the while before we worked without water and electricity would headlamps on and took care of those seeking medical assistance. and also it was very hard on me, but we stayed here and did what was necessary. raleigh williams, social wellness, and the situation worse than when russian forces completely encircled the city. residents tell us journey heath and you are to weeks of russian siege and just barely came through. water and electricity were almost completely cut off. no age could come in. local officials say at times the city buried up to 100 people in a single day. some of them were killed by russian troops. others

died because they could not reach the hospital due to heavy shelling in their local morgue edward slept please using refrigerated trucks for the bodies that still needs to be identified or pick up by relatives. elizabeth or they were you follow. many people left the country to escape the fighting is that they are not in ukraine and cannot get back to bury their relatives escape from wilma. so that's why there are still many bodies here to fill out the right you well that would be those who come here to claim their loved ones are overwhelmed. like we make egos, family. he was a husband and father, a brother, shut debt by russian soldiers who ended them. he was the best buy that he could have. i was still proud of him. and now something this terrible has happened to death and destruction is old at his left after the withdrawal of russian forces

from jenny heath. and what those was to live, to be a most, if that the russian army might return or earlier i spoke with raphael loss. he is a research fellow with the european council on foreign relations here in berlin. with the regrouping of russian forces in the east. i asked him if he thinks that the invasion is going the way that the kremlin had hoped. i think it fairly, an easy to see that that had get it didn't go as planned. i think there was a wide spread agreement among red shanice and it said that russia for a quick success with the 1st couple of days. and that has clearly failed. even the extent that military campaign am focusing on entrenching some russian forces north of keefe de succeeded is always seeing indeed a military organization of repairs as i have not goals focusing on the south and

east grain. and what about the re shuffling that we're seeing at the top of the russian military? there is a new general in charge. now, alexander divorce cough and he has a reputation. not a good one for what happened when he was overseeing the war in series. that's correct. the whole russian compared against the ukraine was marked by incoherence and consistencies. technically, operationally we had a couple of bad commanders in charge of different theaters. and now it's, it's be consolidated, this whole russian campaign against the crane on the i'm going to learn to do any cost. whereas indeed, the russian campaign against syria. when russia 1st intervene and late 2015, you stayed on come on. the russian forces there for about a year and was awarded amazing to hear all the russian federation about getting our food in and the 16 since then. he's been in charge of southern military respect and

been in charge of probably the solvent and eastern front and the current war against ukraine. so it's a logical, i think, next step. and when the russian campaign focuses on, particularly these regions and put less emphasis on areas around key from the north, that the command of this region, what a take charge of that off the russian efforts overall. do you anticipate him maybe doing the same thing that happened in syria, and i'm talking about the use of chemical weapons. for example. i mean, russian armed forces have already targeted for the past 67 weeks. civilian assembly in some humanitarian infrastructure. we've seen miranda's picture is coming out of to friend cities, talents that have been a freed from from russian forces or the suburbs of ki if and the numbers that we're hearing em off of dead civilians from a report and other places are our just atrocious. and so it wouldn't be

inconsistent for, and the syrian tact, russia tactics that it had been employed in syria targeting on hospitals, the use of chemical weapons to not be employed. and it by this new commander as well. but it would be consistent with what we've seen in the past couple of weeks already. it's what we got when we're putting, putting a new general in charge for the war in ukraine. what about though, in terms of the intelligence orbit around putin, over the weekend, a high ranking f. s. b intelligence official, sergei bescedy was thrown in prison. how do you read that? i think it's, it's, and we read as, as an, you know, an admission of failure that this campaign indeed has not run as smoothly as, as the russian leadership had hoped as line who had hope. and so the, somebody to blame for this disaster am this, this, you know, misinterpretation of ukrainian resolve of ukrainian ability and capability both in

the military forces of ukraine, but also among the civilian population. and there were clearly m expectations that the ukrainian government and the ukrainian nozzles will collapse within days. and so it was sensible to focus on on, on the storming keith in a couple of days. but this has turned out not to be true. and we've seen that, you know, the west that you nato allies have and provide it with i have provided a claim with an unprecedented amount of support both and weapons and economic support and implemented missy re sanctions. and my sure. so this is all a gigantic miscalculation on of the kremlin. and, and we see every shot, one of the foreign intelligence service, i think as a, as a result of this recognition that, that at least operationally as campaigns or fragment fadia. and that was raphael lost there with the european council on foreign relations. here in berlin. austria chancellor karl nay. harbor met to day with russian president vladimir putin in

moscow. now he is the 1st e u leader to hold face to face talks with buddha. since the start of the war, they, homer says that he did not get a positive impression from the talked, but he says he did tell who didn't to end the war. me about the speech in gao. so it was important to me to state clearly that the war must end for the people in ukraine under the crimes taking place must be investigated by international organizations. but when all the united nations sunday, as well as the international criminal justice system, which works slowly but steadily with it. and we have seen how successful they can be in. we have our guys as a thank them every more. now we want to go to our reporter and rush analyst constantine, eager to get to see you konstantin. to let, let's talk about the role of the austrian chancellor here. western europe. the european union is trying to isolate vladimir putin. but here we have the chancellor

of austria paying him a visit at the kremlin to day. what's your read on that? oh, missing a home or is mr. perkins can or student just since he exceeded to the presidency, 2000. so for him, it's nothing surprising to deal with austin politicians. so it's clear that traditionally austria tries to play up it's neutral status. plus it has a very close, i would say to close ties with a common and i think this was an attempt by the austrian ahead of government to basically show that he plays a set row in european politics. a lot of politicians, including in the german speaking world have this illusion that they somehow can sway missed this trip. although before it was the austin

chances spoke to bill european officials and to present the landscape. great. so definitely they had a very strange timing and the personal impression, a very strange location because the of the central europeans actually were talking before the visit about yet another or through an attempt to put k put in. and the final press conference was held in the austrian embassy, which actually housed in 1939 at yahoo for even talk. it was foreign minister when you signed the infamous back. it started in 1939. so the location wasn't great too . i suppose that this attempt was also dictated by a 3 is a situation economic situation. it is very much reliant on russian gas. and one of the biggest bang, probably probably the biggest bank, right. fighting bank has very, very close connections, an important business in russia. so probably have to show that he talks to put in

about things that are relevant to the austin public. but i'm absolutely certain that this didn't work out, although they held a very private and that was a reporter in russia. analis constantine acre. there are. and here are some more headlines connected to the more in ukraine, the world bank says that ukraine's economy will shrink by as much as 45 percent this year. the war is forced. about half of all businesses to close exports and plunged. the bank is calling fort global financial help. in mexico city, dozens of people have been protesting the war in ukraine. they march to the russian embassy carrying a 30 metre, one ukrainian flag, seeing the country's national anthem, and shouting slogans. calling for in to the conflict. ukrainian president bonum is

zalinski, spoke to day by phone, with german chancellor, olaf shoulds spoke on sunday rather to discuss further sanctions against russian of the lynch. he said that with him, he's glad that germany is strengthening its support of ukraine. he says that he and schultz agreed that in his perpetrators of war crimes in ukraine should be identified and gets punished for european union. foreign ministers have been meeting in luxembourg to discuss ways to expand their support, as you guessed it. for ukraine, they approved additional weapons for ukraine today, but the european union still remains divided on sanctions that would hurt moscow the most a boycott of russian oil and natural gas. time is of the essence. that was the mood at the e. u. foreign minister summit, russia is thought to be planning a military offensive in ukraine's east. the eas response, a pledge of more arms deliveries with an additional $500000000.00 euros. he ok

enough, thought ukraine needs more military supplies, especially heavy weapons. now is not the time for excuses. now is the time for creative solutions that includes german weapons. after initial doubts about sending arms to ukraine. berlin has broken its taboo and agree to send leopard tanks and armored personnel carriers. it's already sent patriot missiles to slovakia, which is agreed into and to provide some of its surface to air missiles and other hardware to ukraine. there was also agreement across the e u that the block will support efforts to investigate possible war crimes. how to make russia accountable for the gross gross violations of international law. we will provide assistance, assistance to the tune of 1000000 euros from germany alone. amid so much agreement, the e. u foreign ministers, however, failed to agree on a blanket embargo on buying russian oil. and here are some of the other stories
