these are the final hours of campaigning ahead of frances presidential election on sunday incumbent emanuel mac. ron and his opponent marine le pen are focusing on undecided voters. pogue show. they may very well decide through with ah, i'm break off is good to have you with as we begin with what appears to be a widening war in ukraine today. a senior russian military commander said vladimir putin's ambitions in ukraine include seizing control the territory in the east and all the way across the south. now it's unclear if this is official kremlin policy. if it is, it would add a completely new dimension to the conflict which so far has brought heavy losses and few gains for russia. some of the strongest ukrainian resistance is that the as of stalled steel plant in the port city of mario pole, a of ukrainian soldiers is resisting russian troops. they're refusing to surrender
11:02 pm
. we have a look now at the vast industrial complex that has become a symbol of ukrainian defiance. a steel plant from this toby and nightmare smoke and fire as far as the i can see. outside the city, satellite photos show would appear to be mass graves. they could hold the remains of thousands of people while civilians are stuck here, the remaining fighters are defiant, hold up underground in a network of tunnels. little this, this, i say that while we are here, mary paul remains under the control of ukraine. he, mary paul, was and always will stay ukrainian, no matter what they say. russia claims to have liberated the city. they bombed for weeks with impunity and says they'll keep those in the steel plant
11:03 pm
trapped. there will never succeed. us president joe biden said mary, a pull was still in ukrainian hands and urged russia to open humanitarian corridors to let more civilians leave her. we know about her a vacuum ease. who made it to the city and sat parisha struggled to describe the devastation of their home city. them thursday, friday or some hell is what's happening there. it's not possible them could just re tell it. would you? russians are killing people for nothing. leave the world doesn't take measures. supervisor will be the same to what he or did they put it on my her we left yesterday there was a whole left instead of a 9 floor building or maybe he, for all the doorways are destroyed completely. all the windows are shattered. when maria martin, in our backyard, we have a little cemetery. we buried 7 people there. for those stuck in the
11:04 pm
city supplies are reportedly running low. it's no telling how long they can still hold out. blocked respond, mathias rolliger has been following the situation in mario po, from key. she told us about the situation of the troops and the civilians who were inside that steel plant. yeah, the options are probably running out. of course, nobody knows. oh, how big the supplies are, the food supplies that they have? and this, this, these bunkers underneath the steelworks, they were boot off to the wall after would would chew. and they were designed for people to stay in there to stuck up there on, on, on food there, and to stay there for a long time. but as the city has been starved and as all these soviet bunkers have not been maintained, the way they were designed designed, the question is, how long? of course they can stay there. they remain defiant. but um,
11:05 pm
it's of course, a matter of time until they run out of food, ammunition and on the supplies. and what about these reports by g as of mass? gr? eve's being found near mario both met something to expect, the mayor of new paul estimates the number of dead i have at least 20000 people and they are most probably have been buried somewhere quickly. no city has the capacity to store 20000 troops in morgues. for example, um, in something we have been seeing in many of the places that were occupied, where many people have been killed that, that these mass graves, of course, were there. and the place that they said, satellite images show ukrainian intelligence at least says it's one of the places
11:06 pm
where the russians have brought bodies before. so it's highly probable that is that something like this, it will be found there. and we know that there may have been more negotiations between the russian in the ukrainian sides. and has there been any progress report these negotiations at this moment are on the working level thereabout humanitarian corridors. these corridors are sometimes agreed upon. sometimes they work. sometimes they don't, but we shouldn't, we are not talking now about peace negotiations about these higher negotiations about any way out of the conflict. for this i think that they distrust between the 2 sides and also the goals of the 2 sides are very far apart. ukraine is convinced that the goal of russia is to exterminate ukraine as a nation and
11:07 pm
a large part of its population and, and it wants to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty. whereas russia has, of course, are given signs that it does not accept ukraine as a sovereign nation. so i think as it's very hard to find a compromise here, it will be as much. he has billing with the latest to night from keith, but he has thank you. the united nation says that almost 8000000 people are now internally displaced in ukraine. a groups are trying to help those who have fled their homes, as well as those still stuck in cities under bombardment. people face a daily struggle in places such as ukraine's 2nd largest city har heath. it's been the target of intense shelley. now for weeks their homes are unlivable. after weeks of bombardment, now the people of ha keep survived by collecting rain water and cooking on fires,
