at least 2 people were killed with over a dozen more wounded ukrainian officials here the bombardment is just the prelude to a new assault on the strategically important city, just 40 kilometers from the russian border. far to the southeast, brushing forces gather for a new offensive on another key target. mother you pull the port city has been besieged for weeks. now moscow says it's defenders have been forced back to here. the giant odds of style industrial district juggles go to italy into urban areas. mariposa has been completely cleared the militants of the nazi formation. as obamacare unicorn must reason ukrainian troops, although the remnants of the ukrainian group blocked in the territory of the as

a storm. that logical plan to be spoken to the only chance to save their lives is voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender. but a war lawful, regoza is thoughtful, ukrainian, president zalinski warned that russia risks jeopardizing further peace talks as michigan. thus, she hopes of moody, but the elimination of our troops. the issue of our men in mary, a po, will put an end to any negotiation more robust. i'll have to cut off on a budget for a month, but a more with matter you poles. last, offenders cut off and russian forces posed to strike. ukrainians feared the city may well soon. finally fall or corresponded. rebec readers is and key if we asked her if the window from are you pull, the surrender had definitively closed? yeah, that's right. that sir. surrender, or di order given by the russians to the ukrainians. they gave the time window of

1300 local time that has now passed. they said they would show no mercy to the ukrainian soldiers if they didn't have that warning. now it's really difficult to get real time information out of mary who poll as we know, all communication is largely cut to the city. there are no journalists there. but the as of battalion, this last stronghold, these be the battalion that is in that as of steel. plan as you were just reporting there, the last a sort of strong hold of the ukrainians they have said they will from the very beginning. they've been saying that they will not surrender, they're going to fight to the end. so it's very hard to imagine that they're heating that warning, that city has been under constant bombardment now since the beginning of this war. and though the russians have all but destroyed the city and you know it is a key target for the mere tactically and territorial tori lee. and they are also fighting to the enter remains to be seen. whether or not they will succeed, whether that city will fall. but at this stage, it is looking likely. now ukrainian president vladimir zalinski,

she warned that the peace talks would end if the russian troops executed the ukrainian troops though remaining in that city. it looks like they haven't complied with the the, the order to surrender. so what does this mean now for the future of the war? well, president lensky said that if the russians kill those remaining sold as in mary paul, then the pace talks would die with them. but in, in reality, those piece talks have stalled, have been on hold since the russians retreated from areas are just north of here, here, and the true atrocities of what happened under russian occupation came to light. so the peace talks have stalled regardless. and one thing that we have heard is that russian oligarchy, roman abram avila, appears to be in cave, in talking to the ukrainian delegation, to try to resuscitate those piece talks, remains to be seen, whether he'll be successful. and of course,

the events in mary paul over the coming hours and days will certainly determine whether or not they're able to get back on track. now russia has also intensified a detox across the country even in the capital key of where you are. so what is the current situation there? well, a, this is a city you know, trying to get on with life as normal as possible under the really difficult circumstances with adding or just in front of made on square side of the 2014 protests. it's normally a busy tourist attraction, or it is much quieter to day. the sunday we are seeing people come out in the streets though, and we are seeing some shops opens non essential shops and restaurants. these people are trying to get on with life as best they can. but turn mid vitale. cliff co, the mayor of cave has warn people not to return to the city. he said they are preparing for intensified attacks on the capital. and we've seen signs of that already over the weekend. a couple of attacks to yesterday, the day before,

both on ammunitions factories are on the outskirts of the city, about 15 kilometers from where i'm standing and this morning in the early hours. and now the attack was reported in a sub just east or a sort of an area, if you like, the satellite city, east of keep it remains to be seen exactly what the target was. russian say it was another munition factory. but we're also hearing that miss all was in fact intercepted and it was in fact a shelling, so difficult to get that concrete information about that. but definitely a city that is once again under attack, that was due to his rebecca readers and kia for us. pope francis has urged world leaders to heed calls for peace. and what he described as an easter of war. pontiff told tens of thousands gathered in saint peter's square and rome that the world needs love and reconciliation. now more than ever called the fighting in ukraine. a quote, cruel and senseless war. it was the 1st easter sunday mass with a crowd since they started pandemic or young. earlier i spoke to

d. w. religious affairs analyst martin gac for an analysis of the pope's address. well, i mean, i think it has had a very strong diplomatic harm that it has exercise in order to try to bring peace to the for conflict regions. i think it was somewhat unexpected that the pope would be talking about you can, would be concentrating its efforts in europe. and most of what we heard, it's actually a plea for peace and a plea for essentially, for you know, unity, unity, brotherly, brother, unity across europe, particularly in the face of a possible escalation. and this was actually this loom quite large. and in the speech in which the pope actually weren't escalation, becoming really form of violence that could potentially not stop and could have enormously devastating effects for human kind. he said, now does the pope's opinion on this war matter to russia,

or is he just preaching to the choir? as you can say look, i mean it's, it's extremely difficult to say, how is it that moscow is receiving? what have been increasingly critical, you know, but essentially messages from, from the vatican domestic and has been quite clear over the last 3 weeks. although at the beginning it actually did take a much lower approach to condemning moscow precisely because they have a very strong diplomatic approach to conflict and they have a very broad, it's sort of a very broad muscle are very large, but diplomatic muscle know the vatican has become much clear as to the criticism. it's not really clear that, that you know, the criminal incurs at all. what is that? that is said in rome, but it is quite clear that the criminal understands how brought the base of the vatican enough. the catholic churches, including not only inside the ukraine, inside ukraine, but also inside russia. i want to talk about the pope's health as well because on

saturday he attended the easter vigil mass, but he didn't lead it. and some think that's because of leg pain. what, what do you know about this? is mostly speculation, but this is precisely the rumor that is circulating that you know, he has, he's ne problem has prevented him from leading saturday evening where he had to be mostly standing for about 3 hours. today. he started actually the old we said thought abuse, which he did lead the mass this morning. he started standing the speech therapist, but actually halfway through he sat down. so, you know, i mean this does not seem to be a major health concern, but it does seem to be in bidding his movement and some of his offices that was dw martin gac talking to me earlier today. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the death toll and the philippines from tropical storm meggy has risen above $170.00
