[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is did we news life from rural and last stand in valuable ukrainian forces to fire rush, an ultimatum to lay down their arms. but this could be our last appeal of our lives . we may be facing our last days if not ours. the enemy out numbers is tend to want the cities defenders vowing to fight to the end as battles rage across eastern ukraine. plus the kremlin spokesman says he's awaiting a response from ukraine after delivering

a written list of demands for peace stocks. meanwhile, ukrainian present volume is less, he says he hasn't seen or heard about said documents, and germany vows to stop russian oil imports by year's end. foreign minister alana burbock makes the announcement says she kicks off a tour of the baltic states and the biggest tournament in tennis bands, the russian and bell, a russian players of the war and ukraine. wimbledon organizers say the move is in response to quote, unjustified and unprecedented military aggression from russia. ah, hi everyone, i'm layla, iraq. thank you very much for joining us. the defenders of the besieged ukrainian ports of mar, you pull our warning, the city could fall within days. if not ours. as russia presses it's offensive

across east and ukraine, ukrainian troops hold up in muddy hoop. all have to find a russian deadline to surrender. efforts are underway to open a humanitarian quarter to allow trap civilians to leave on ukraine's eastern front. soldiers begin for the fight ahead. the direct russia has re lodged his offensive, hoping to take full control of the dumbass region. in the besieged port city of mario pole. the fight may be almost over not as one of the few bases are appeal to the world, but this could be our last appeal of our lives. we may be facing a last days, if not hours, the enemy out numbers as $10.00 to $1.00. while a sense of normal life returns to the capital,

keep in cities to the east. the wall rages on infancy. if the intensity of fire by russian troops in the hockey direction in dunbar on in the de me, per regional, has increased significantly on the basically consider ordinary housing infrastructure, normal targets for them as a chain. in this wall, the russian army will for ever inscribe itself in world history, as perhaps the most barbaric and inhuman on the world. shannon may be a, shall our school e mailed school address. at this hospital in chrome, a task the injured continue to arrive wounded by the 2nd russian offensive as it should, i should i now it seems, yesterday russia started a large scale advance in the area. the use artillery systems heavy artillery drones

and g r a. d systems, rather in hockey, families say they're laska by to those who we killed in the fight. rushes invasion may have entered a so called new phase. but the pain of loss is a constant in a wall, but far from over did have you corresponded rebecca officers is in the ukrainian capital key. and i asked her about evacuation efforts for civilians trapped in the besieged city of muddy who ball. we could be witnessing azure reporting the very last hours of this sage that we know has been going on for nigh on 7 weeks now, pretty much as the beginning of this war at with a dia, humanitarian catastrophe taking place there. we know that there are still around about a $100000.00 civilians trapped in that city. bought the good news potential. good

news coming out of today. ukraine's deputy prime minister saying that russia and ukraine have agreed to allow for humanitarian corridor to allow some we think 6000 people out there. that ease of course, good news, even successful. but we do know from previous attempts that goes with humanitarian corridors, particularly around that city are so treacherous and often so dangerous that they are often cancelled. so it remains to be seen whether or not that will be able to be successful. and that though 6000 people will be able to get out, but that still leaves us just a little under a 100000 people trapped in that city. catastrophic situation there for civilians. what about the last ukranian stronghold in muddy who pl. our forces still hunkering down there they are. they really defying everybody's expectations. layla. i mean everyone thought that mary paul was going to full weeks ago. there are 2 battalions fighting there and,

and there is still around about 200-2228 half 1000 soldiers continuing that fight that defense for the city. they're based in the as of steel plan. as we know, we've been reporting, which is a vast network of warehouses and there's also an underground tunnel system. it's believe that their round about a 100, a, sorry, a 1000 civilians also sheltering in there. now the russians have started to use what, what were they calling a bunker, busting bombs that are bombs, that can go on the ground to try and get those remaining soldiers to come out. that would, of course, be catastrophic to the people sheltering down there as well. but at the moment that they read, the ukrainian soldiers have been defying these a sort of surrender and di orders by russia. another one that was set for today at 2 pm has already passed. they continuing to fight until the end. ah, but unfortunately does look like that the end could be 9 for mary paul. it does look like it potentially could fall in the coming hours. and rebecca. okay, tell us about the year of russian offensive or elsewhere along the eastern front.

well that planned russian offensive that we've been waiting for for a couple of weeks did kick off yesterday i was saying my increased bombardments in the dumbass region. how to keep and in the south add some 1200 or more than 1200 targets even were successfully hit by russia overnight since yesterday and civilians have of course died in some of those attacks the mer of la. hans says that some cities in the don bass region are actually out without power and other utilities. and in fact, they won't be able to be restored until the end of the war. so dangerous is it that they're not able to get in to fix those things. we've seen huge evacuations from the east for the last few weeks now, but there are still civilians in those areas. russia may managing to gain control of one small city in the dawn bass, but on the other side, you cry and taking back a small city near on. yet that had been under russian control. definitely expecting a lot more bombardment,

missile attacks in the coming days did have you correspondence for vicar richter's reporting from the ukrainian capital. keep rebecca, thank you very much for your continued coverage kremlin spokesperson to me cheapest . coff says russia has handed you crane a list, a written list of it's demands, as part of peace talks. mr. pest cough told reporters that moscow was waiting for a response from keith to the draft document. or she earlier negotiation demands have included ukraine taking on neutral status seating the da net scan will hans regions and recognizing its annexation of the crimean peninsula. d. w correspondent, and russia. analysts konstantin eggers has been following developments from the lithuanian capital vilnius. and i asked him, what we know about the list of russian demands. luckily, we don't know anything about any new proposals or by the reservation,

and it's not clear what i was talking about. and whether he's really talking about something real. well i suppose that, oh well let's food like that. he is a cannot go to the truth to you then 19 eighties, expression on the features that your era to actually believe. so we've got no information, no details of the contents of this a draft document. so that begs the question, is this a sincere attempt by moscow? well, i think that the coincidence between the renewed russian offensive against degrading forces in the east and specifically last of all, near mario and the appear for fiscal is, well, quite, quite, sort of the, most of this, if you wish very frequently the graham and talk speak with it's waging war,

and i suppose that this is yet another reminder that well, i put in is all ready for agreement. but it is, it is 11 ski, the presence of ukraine, who isn't who doesn't want piece that, the spin all the russian propaganda. i suppose also that was that piece talks will not review if mario bill is taken and it's dependent florida. i think that's actually hit the crumb and then that's their way to respond to it, to biscuit, to off load the responsibility for anything that happens. all of the ukrainian leadership, has there been any reaction hung ukraine yet? well, i haven't seen any yet. and well, i do not think my suspicion is i do not think that the landscape will say anything to the concrete. and then what you said about the storming of mario and, and, and the outcome possible outcome of this battle. i suppose that in such

circumstances it will be quite strange if dimansky suddenly says, well, ok, yes, let's engage in peace. i think that he's a responsibility as commander in chief and, and basically the world. are you crying to guy as overtaken? pretty much any, all the responsibility, a guarantee as a politician, he's a democratically elected president. he is, of course, sorry. all the people that die and all the blood that's been shared by his fellow citizens bought all the other him, the logical war. you saw that anything that will resemble the storks with more school today will smack or surrender. and i suppose that will not be taken kindly by very significant part of the ukrainian public opinion. these are the laws of war. these are the laws of war, psychology, correspondence and russia, analyst, constantine constantine. as always,

thank you very much. and these are the other developments in this war. the european council present showing michelle has met with president of a lot of reasons. he doing a surprise visit to the cleaning capital. the 2 men discuss the sanctions against russia and use military aid to ukraine. earlier mister michelle visited already on, gotten near keith and tweeted, history will not forget the war crimes that have been committed here. the own security council has meant to consider the war, ukraine's ambassador urged members to address what he called russia's dubious presence in the chamber. by shows, representative accused the un of using ukraine has upon in their geopolitical game against russia. the international monetary fund has cut it's forecast for global growth this year to 3.6 percent. they say the war and western sanctions are putting pressure on the world economy, which is already seeing

a slow recovery from the pandemic. the u. s. refugee agencies has more than 5000000 ukrainians have fled abroad. in the 8 weeks since russia launched its invasion, more than 200000 nationals of other countries have also escaped ukraine to neighboring countries. russia's aggression has triggered the fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since world war 2. german chancellor la schultz is facing growing frustration over what his critics say is a lack of leadership on ukraine. some of that criticism is coming from his government's coalition partners who say his reluctance to send heavy weapons is costing ukraine dearly. the chancellor giving hints, instead of answers his government is sending money to ukraine, but still not supplying heavy weapons. the, i'm the not, we've asked german arms manufacturers to tell us what equipment they can supply in

the near future. not take more than ukraine has now made its selections from this list. and we're giving ukraine the money it needs to buy them. well, it's unclear what sort of military hardware ukraine will actually get. shots suggests it would be german made tanks, the focus get it. as for such equipment, it's about operational systems that are immediately available if those that can be put to use, especially if they're already used in ukraine. the chance of their stress that supplying weapons from current vendors where stocks would be virtually impossible because there would be limits to what could be delivered. and so the debate goes on among the coalition partners, the free democrats and the greens, the former, quick to respond on twitter rating that everyone's doing what germany is doing is not correct. we're still lagging too far behind, criticism to from the greens. he helped it seems to me the chancellor is still hesitating thought, namely because germany is the largest economy in the european union. and so we have

to do much more than we're doing both in terms of arms deliveries and sanctions. we are to as written praise though for sholtes from the socialist left party in the some i think it's at least right that we're no longer promoting this discussion about heavy weapons domestically. anyone who believes that heavy weapons will end this war faster is wrong. deli, i'm for 5. the debate over arms deliveries is becoming a bit of a stress test for germany's governing coalition. in the opposition cd, you see su. many conservatives are for the delivery of heavy weapons and they plan to put the issue to a vote in the been to stag sholtes still under pressure. and his coalition minister still waiting for clear commitments. meanwhile, germany has vowed to halt all imports of russian oil by the end of the year. foreign minister on elena burbock made the announcement after meeting with her counterparts from estonia. lot via and lithuania. miss burbock also sends an

unequivocal message of support saying nato allies could rely on germany, 100 percent mines. i'm cynthia lloyd here at all today the 4 of us are sending a clear message to moscow. we will defend peace, i sovereignty, and freedom owns the nato. nato will collectively defendant's territory and protect you every corner of a. mine's, i'm sure. let's find out more our correspondent, herculean buyer, and joyce is now from a riga killian, what else that the foreign minister say? well, layla. i think it was clear. one thing, this is a friendly meeting. this is a jovial meeting at the tone of the meeting was definitely very, very friendly. but there was one word that i kept hearing again and again and again . and it was defense, defense defense, like we just heard in the, in the sound bite on alina burbock said, germany is committed to defending the baltic states,

because they are also one of the most vulnerable regions. in nato. one of nato's most vulnerable points is in the baltics, and so she said, germany will stand by the baltic side. and yes, can you contextualize as that for us, killian, how vulnerable are the baltic states? well, it really comes down to jewel politics. and we have to take a look at where the baltics are situated, especially lithuania. it's squeezed in between coline grad in the north and bell roofs in the air. in the south. and colleen and grad is one of the most heavily fortified territories in all of europe. it's heavily militarized. russia has a very significant anti aircraft capabilities there, an anti shipping capabilities, so they can basically shoot down any aircraft and a 400 mile radius, and they can sink any ship in the baltics as well. in the baltic sea, i mean, and, and so that this only leaves

a narrow stretch of land of over which troops and material can be transported. this is called the sa walkie gap, and it is only 65 kilometers wide. so in a pincer movement, russia could basically cut the baltics off from the rest of the west. and this is why people are so scared here. but how realistic is a russian attack on the baltics? well, of course, to the politicians here and to the people here, it's quite clear. russia is very, very busy, and ukraine at the moment as preoccupied i. it would be the better word that they've bitten off more than they can chew. a vast majority of russia's land forces are there, but the fear is, of course, that russia will learn from its mistakes in ukraine. and we've seen a catastrophic mistakes by the russian military. maybe they will improve their communications. maybe they will improve their command and control structure. and once they've regrouped and strengthened their army, the fear is that they will turn their sites to the west to the baltics. and that's

why the politicians here are saying later, must rate a very, very strong deterrence against russia. these other correspondence, killian, a buyer reporting from latvia. thank you so much, karen. i want to tell you now about the other headline, sir. yemen has sworn in a new presidential council. the internationally recognized body was appointed this month after former president hardy stepped up, stepped aside, i should say, that move was meant to unify the fragmented anti who the camp amid ongoing efforts to bring him his long running civil war to an end of it. and brazilian football legend bailey has been hospitalized in sao paolo, the 81 year old is receiving treatment for colon cancer. his is clinical condition has been described as good and stable. last here fell a spent a month in the hospital, but the same doctors expect him to be discharged. in

a matter of days. wimbledon organizers have confirmed that russian and bell russian tennis players have been banned from this year's tournament because of the war in ukraine. the band prevents a number of top ranked players from competing in june grand slam events, including russia's world number 2, the new method. yes, the war has already prompt attendance governing bodies, the ban, russia, and bellows from international team competitions. let's find out more and dig deeper into this. jonathan grain from the debris. sports joins me now here in person. so good to see you, jonathan. all right, how significant is this decision by wimbledon? it's a pretty significant decision because wimbledon has become the 1st grand slam to actually announce the move like this is kind of an outlier because most tournaments because tennis is organized by several different governing bodies, most tournaments they do allow russian and better players to compete as neutral, any team events, as you mentioned that they've been banned in. so in

a wimbledon is probably the best known tennis tournament in the world, right? is a hugely prestigious tournament, and it's got this kind of conservative reputation in money. why are many ways so the statement was such the surprisingly punch, you haven't read a bit of it. so now it says in the circumstances such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression, it will be unacceptable for the russian regime to derive any benefits from the involvement of russian or better russian players with the championships. now, when bowden has joined other sports in banning russian and better ocean athletes outright, for example, athletics gymnastics in figure skating. so now i guess the question is whether other major tournaments are the grand slams in tennis, like the french open, that's the next one. and then the u. s. open after that will follow suit because at the moment russian embarrassing players are still on the entry list. which players does this affect it facts several high profile players really on the main side

you've got as denise met with who is the world number 2 on lavas, while he's in the top 10 on the women's side arena, doubling k is trucks. the highest profile women's players. she's in ballard. she actually reached the semifinals of wimbledon last year. i had a really good run in the tournament. now. obviously, as you might expect, a lot of these players once the war broke out what asked what they thought about it . and what a lot of them kind of said re support peace. no one really condemns the invasion or that countries involvement outright, apart from our paps on tre, rhubarb. i hope we can see some pictures of him now because a soon after the war broke out at one of the tournaments. soon after that, this is what he wrote on the screen that we're going to see it in a moment because the camera will turn around. but basically it says, no war police that you guys say, he did kind of give a strongest arms because, you know, a lot of people will say, look, is this fair? is it fair to band individual players?

i mean it, that is, every night there was one of the 1st things a better thing about, i mean, is it fair? i mean it's, it's kind of punishment by association. our. yeah, i mean, actually justifying in wimbledon is an outlier, right? because up until now, i think many inside tennis have been nervous that imposing this kind of collective punishment, yet can individuals, individual sport stars be held accountable for the actions of their country's leaders? now, i think wimbledon had been discussing this with the british government for quite some time. they were kind of thinking of a compromise solution where they would allow russian embellish and players to compete if they sign some kind of decoration thing. but they didn't support the war, but that did kind of raise a few issues. one with such a declaration, be genuine, and to could it put their family members in danger back home. now of course, the flip side is ok. you can argue that it is unfair, perhaps to bond these athletes. but what about the ukranian athletes who cannot compete a tool because of the situation of war in their countries that are very fraught fry

to discussions? i'm sure this is not the last that we're going to hear about this, but so grateful to have you hear johnson. great, thank you. want to go now to me and mar, where citizens struggled to return to democratic rule and may not to now be making international head lice, but it is certainly very much alive. it's visible in people's attempts to boycott, businesses owned by the military. the winter owns hundreds of enterprises involved in everything from telecom, still oil and gas, even beer. and it's here that me and mars people are taking a stand one pint at a time. a cool draft beer and a 19 street bar is a popular way to unwind in young guns bustling downtown. what beer you choose these days as a political statement, drinkers are turning their back on me in mar beer. once the most popular broo in the country. because of it's linked to the armed forces, they're sipping big international brands instead. beneath walla walla,

all the restaurants in 19th street used to sell me and mar beer, who but now i don't see any as i go to tiger to borg and other brands have replaced, it won't only align highly, will do me and mar. beer was backed by the japanese brewing giant kiran, and seen as the sign of the economic liberalization washing into the southeast asian country. after the military relaxed its iron grip on power in 2011, it dominated the market, but brands without government links around the rise. even though it anyhow, oh fanny, we know other beer browns are paying tax to the military. but we don't all of our money going to them. we avoid as a mom that is only me and mar beer in the restaurant, and we don't drink beer and i will jolly. i got an intangible adult olga, olga latavia, although natalie that i'll go many restaurants don't sell the military, me and mar beer. and people tend not to choose me in mar,

beer any more annoying and i will wealthy eternal god almost is dead. we have to choose other brands on it like tiger machine without able them load the blade m, avi. although there is widespread public anger at the military's crackdown on descent, which a local monitoring group says has killed more than $1700.00 people. this is led to attacks on bars, still serving the beer and delivery trucks carrying the beer have been stopped and their cargo destroyed the boycott spreading to include other items with military links, including coffee and beauty, products me and mars consumers hoped to fight the hunter by putting a squeeze on the economy in washington dublin years. this is a reminder of our main story. ukrainian forces hold up in the besieged ports of modern post, say the city could fall within days. if not hours a russian imposed deadline for ukrainian troops to surrender. as past efforts are
