ukrainian port of mary who bulk defenders of the city are warning it could fall within days. if not hours as russia presses it's offensive across east and ukraine . ukrainian troops hold up in muddy who bowl have defied a russian deadline to surrender. ukraine says efforts to open humanitarian corridors to evacuate. trapped civilians have been largely unsuccessful. big on ukraine's eastern front. soldiers begin for the fight ahead. the direct russia has relaunched 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 let the voting of a 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 in them seeing if the intensity of fire by russian troops in the hockey direction, in dunbar, and in the dimly per region has increased significantly. only thanks will consider ordinary housing infrastructure, normal targets for them anymore. jane in this war, the russian army will for ever inscribe itself in world history as perhaps the most barbaric and inhuman on the world. can they be a shall article e, nearly school address. at this hospital in chrome, a task the injured continue to arrive wounded by the 2nd russian offensive era. as international now seems, yesterday,

russia started a large scale advance in the area. they use artillery systems, heavy artillery drones and g r a d systems. or are they 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 that's far from over kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pasco says, russia has handed ukraine a written list of its demands as part of peace talks. mister pascall told reporters at moscow was waiting for a response from keith to the draft document brushes. earlier, negotiation demands have included ukraine, take on neutral status secede seed rather, the de, net scan will,

has regions and recognize its annexation of the crimean peninsula. ukrainian president avalon, rosalind gower says he has not seen or heard about the document. and earlier did of you correspondent and russia analysts to constantine edgar 2 is tracking development. so from the lithuanian capital villainous, i asked him what we know about the list of russian demands. luckily, we don't know anything about any new proposals. oh boy, the reservation and it's not clear what your score was talking about and whether it is really talking about something real. well, i suppose that, oh, well let's food like that. who he is a good number. go to the truth to user 19 acres expression on the feature thatcher arrow 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 ball and the appear for fiscal is well, quite, quite, sort of the, most of this, if you wish it 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's 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 crime and then that's their way to respond to it, to miss going to off load the responsibility for anything that happens. all of the ukrainian leadership. has there been any reaction harm 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 than what he said about the storming of mario poland. and the old. com possible outcome of these battle. i suppose that in such circumstances it will be quite strange if dimansky suddenly says, well, ok, yes, let's engage in peace dogs. i think that he's the responsibility as commander in chief. ok. and basically the world, are you crying to guy as overtaken? pretty much any. all the responsibility areas, as a politician, he's a democratically elected president. he is, of course,

sorry for the people that die, and all the blood that's been shared by his fellow citizens bought all the other him. the logical war is such that or anything that will resemble the stokes with more school today will smack off 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, have your correspondence and russia, analysts, constantine anchored konstantin as always, thank you very much. germany has vowed to halt all imports of russian oil. by the end of the year, 40 minutes on a lena bear bock made the announcement after meeting with her counterparts from estonia, lafayette and lithuania bareback also sent an unequivocal message of support saying nato allies could rely on germany. 100 percent mines. i'm the only, yeah, i know today the 4 of us are sending

a clear message to moscow. we will defend p. i sovereignty and freedom. not to nato will collectively defend its territory and protect every corner of a mines on our correspondence. killian buyer attended that meeting in a rica and told us what else the foreign secretary had to say. well layla, i think it was a clear one thing. this was a friendly meeting. this is a jovial meeting and 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 barbecue, 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 geo politics and we have to take a look at where the baltics are situated, especially lithuania. it's squeezed in between coline grad and bella roofs in the, in the south. and colleen and grad is one of the most heavily fortified territories and 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's 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 you and there was coin buyer reporting from latvia. next to 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 several top ranked players from competing in june's event, including russia's world. number 2, daniel met videos. russia and believers have already been banned 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 by this is kind of an outlier because a most tournaments, because tennis is organized by several different governing bodies, most tournaments they do allow russian and better players to compete as neutral is only 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, right. are many ways. so the statement was such the surprising me punch, i'm going to read a bit of it. you 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, wimbledon has joined other sports in banning russian and better russian athletes outright, for example, athletics gymnastics in figure skating. so now i guess the question is whether other major tournaments or 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 and bell russian players are still on the entry list. which players does this affect it? facts, several high profile players. really, on the men side, you've got a denial medford of who is the world number 2 on j group lab as well. he's in the

top 10 on the women's sides arena. st. abilene k is trucks. the highest profile women play a she's from battery. she actually reached the semifinals of wimbledon last year. i had a really good run in a tournament. now, obviously, as you might expect to learn these players once the war broke out what asked what they thought about it. and while a lot of them kind of said, re support peace, no one really condemns the invasion or that countries involvement outright, apart from perhaps andre group. i hope we can see some pictures of him now because as soon after the war broke out at one of the that's one them. it's do know 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 please that you go say he did kind of give a stronger stock because, you know, a lot of people were say, look, is this, is it fair to ban individual players? i mean, is it that is that we know that was one of the 1st things that i was thinking about . i mean, is it fair?

i mean it's, it's kind of punishment by association. our. yeah, i mean, absolutely justifying. and wimbledon is an outlier, right? because up until now, i think many inside tennis have been nervous that imposing this kind of collective punishment thing yet can individuals, individual sport stars be held accountable for the actions of their country's leaders? now, i think when gordon 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 or 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 band these athletes. but what about the ukrainian athletes who cannot compete a tool because of the situation in the war in their countries, in the country? very fraught, fraught 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. in washing the dummy news. this is our main story right now. ukrainian forces hold up in the besieged ports of multiple se the city could fall within days if not hours, a russian imposed deadline for ukraine. your troops to surrender as pass stay with us up. next is a part one of our documentary, the history of the read on, and i hope to see began to look for now. thank you for watching store to know when spooky intimidation entrance into an orgy of hate and violence. the history of the ku klux klan, the oldest terrorist organization in the united states founded over 150 years ago. it's repeatedly died out,
