5:03 pm
just a matter of time before russian forces take back what it looks pretty much, much like that. the russian troops are in the north, in the south and east of the city. so it's surrounded from 3 sides. that seems to be pretty well established. and the question is now whether ukraine will be able to keep the road that leads into bar mood open and at what price they will be able to do that. ukraine is denying that they're retreating, but that's not a surprise. that will most likely only announce it after it's done that's for, for security reasons. they will try to get as much equipment out of then leave just one small batch of soldiers to keep the russians in check why the others are leaving. and then retreat very quickly. that's why they've done it before this has been the battle for many months around the city and the russians have been
5:04 pm
advancing slowly but steadily. it looks pretty much like her, the ukrainians are organizing a retreat. but we don't know for sure. it's the fog of the war. we have very many, many conflicting information about what's really going on on the ground. ukraine is saying that they are holding back more than that. they're not retreating, but we will know the, the facts and a few days that is added to that. ukraine is also ordered a partial evacuation in the northeast city frontline city of copy answer. what's the situation that you are talking about? an evacuation of civilians not an evacuation of the city. not a retreat. um, there has been fights going on near coupons, care, peep, but the russian army has tried to across the river, which is outside the city. a few kilometers outside the review of the city, and there has been constant shelling of the city this evacuation. they,
5:05 pm
they are saying obligatory i vacation off for children and people with limited mobility. however, ukraine has not and forced so far, this kind of evacuation, even if they called it compulsory in other parts of a of ukraine. for example, in the don bus. there was a similar announcement, a few months ago there and her, the people who are still left in caribbeans can we've been there a few times during the past 2 weeks. the people who are still there, they are reluctant to leave. most people have already left, it seems to be about one 5th of the people, mostly elderly people who are still there. and that's pretty much what we've seen throughout our that's why this war in these places are very close to the front line . there's always a part of people who do not want to leave either because they do not know where to
5:06 pm
go. they do not trust that the, the announcement that they will have will be provided shelter and aid. so they prefer to stay on their own ground, or they're afraid of for our flu team or, or they just say that they've lived there the whole life and they're not ready to leave. the w correspondent that is building it in keith. thank you. the war and you've kind of all top the agenda for german chancellor left schultz in talks with you as president joe biden in washington to leaders will focus on support for keith and concerns that china is planning to provide russia with military assistance. shelter was the last at the white house shortly before the invasion trip is expected to be low profile, with no news conference shed your so far. lee, i asked our correspondent in washington, what shelton bought and we're expected to focus on during the talks. yes,
5:07 pm
it's been a question of a lot of speculation here and you know, at chelsea spokesperson was asked about his visit and said, there's not a big program plan. this is an important one on one meeting with the 2 leaders to discuss the way forward in ukraine. and say that is something that reflects of what we heard from a senior white house official yesterday, who told reporters this is a working visit. the chancellor in the president will speak for about an hour in the oval office. and much of that will be one on one because this is an opportunity for the 2 leaders to have in depth conversations, especially to take stock of where things stand with the war in ukraine. we know that both president biden and chancellor shows recently met with ukrainian president lensky to mark one year of russia's invasion. and this is, according to officials from both sides, a private meeting that gives them the opportunity to build on what they're holding a relationship of trust that they have established or working together now over the last year. so ukraine will certainly be dominating these talks, according to officials on both sides. yes, so here it's a private meeting,
5:08 pm
but the 2 ladies are expected to discuss john as possible, rolling ye crime, can the u. s. and germany sumi, actually prevent china from supplying weapons to russia and then i think they will certainly try. so the white house administration official who spoke with reporters yesterday said that they will discuss what they called the challenges posed by the people's republic. and they also said that the white house welcomed a chance or shows his words in the buddhist dog on thursday, urging beijing to refrain from sending weapons to russia and calling on china to use its position to get russia to end the war. also calling on china to share its peace plan with ukraine to discuss that peace plan with ukraine. this does seem to be an area where the 2 leaders are aligned on messaging, but we have the anthony also seen those reports that the u. s. might possibly be sounding out allies on sanctions if china were to supply military support to russia . if that is the case,
5:09 pm
then it could be something that's discussed behind closed doors at the white house today with the chancellor sholtes and president biden. that would possibly put germany in a difficult position because we know germany does have strong trade ties with china still, but these reports aren't confirmed yet. we'll have to see what comes out of this meeting if anything, as we mentioned, quite unusual that there's no press conference after this meeting. so we'll have to see what is communicated. is we mode press conference, no business leaders, no delegations coming along. why's this? that's been a question of a lot of speculation, especially with the press corps that would normally travel with the chancellor. but also media here who noted that that is quite unusual, that there is no press conference and. c cancer shows the spokesperson said, listen, this is a very concentrated visit. we didn't plan a program around this. that's why there is no business delegation. there are a german media organizations representing see who will be following this visit closely. and that's why journalists were not taken along on the plane for this
5:10 pm
visit. and again, that senior administration official from the white house act that saying this is a working visit. that's not why we're not seeing the entire program that you might normally see around. the chancellor's visit to washington, and that this is going to be really a home in concentrated visit, an opportunity for the 2 men to speak closely and in confidence about the issues that they both share and the global foreign policy agenda that they both share in washington d, c, d, w. so me, so much going to, thanks so much. gemini has condemned a 10 year jail term handed down and billable to nobel laureate alice barely etzky foreign minister, ellen and lena bear book called the proceedings against the veteran activists by the foss. and a disgrace, alien sky and 2 others were charged with smuggling cash into believers to fund opposition activities. they were arrested over protests over an election by said was reeked, be about ski is one of the winners of last year's nobel peace prize. and
