6:02 pm
a program. there is only one road out left. yes, this pincers have come together. down, i know great if previously it had been the professional ukrainian army who fought with us boys. today, we see more and more an elderly people and children nurses they fight them, but their life in back moot is very short. one though, 2 days give by cumulative water, let them leave the city. it is almost, he surrounded was wrong. so is it just a matter of time before rush and forces take back? what i put that to day doubly correspondent, mathias billing. what it looks pretty much, most like that the russian troops are in the north, in the south and in the 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
6:03 pm
be able to keep the road that leads into bad mood open. and at what price there will be able to do that. ukraine is denying that they're retreating, but that's not a surprise. there will most likely only announce it after it's done that's for a security reasons, or 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 they are. these are leaving and then retreat very quickly. that's why they've done it before. this has been a battle for many months around the city and the russians have been advancing slowly but steadily. it looks pretty much like 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
6:04 pm
saying that they are holding back more and then they're not retreating. but we will know that 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 could be answer what's the situation there? we were talking about an evacuation of civilians, not an evacuation of the city, not a retreat. um, there has been a fight 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 that they are saying obligatory i vacation of children and people with limited mobility. however, ukraine has not and forced so far this kind of evacuation,
6:05 pm
even if they called it compulsory in other parts of, 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. and 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. and that's what they swore in these places. they're 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 go. they do not trust that the, the announcement that they will have will be provided shelter in aid. so they prefer to stay on their own ground, or they're afraid of, of looting or, or they just say that they've lived there their whole life and they're not ready to
6:06 pm
leave. the deputy correspondent is building it in keith. thank you. the warren ukraine will top the agenda for german chancellor oliver shots in talks with us president joe biden in washington to leaders will focus on support for keith and concerns that china is planning to provide. rush with military assistance else consults was last at the white house shortly before the invasion. this trip is expected to be low profile, with no news conference scheduled so far. welcome, everyone. in washington outside the white house, the devil is michela. kutner is standing by forest mikaela. what can we expect from this meeting? well, a closed door meeting. that's what we're being told. a one on one meeting between the us present and the german chancellor. yes, indeed, it doesn't get much more low key than this, but the issues are very much high profile. and the situation in back move in ukraine, of course, is expected to be talked about. and those continuing calls of,
6:07 pm
i voted me as a lensky who in recent weeks met both german chancellor under us present in the past. and those 2 are expected to exchange notes on those very meetings. and there's repeated calls for more weapons and more ammunition. as so much ammunition is being used on ukrainian territory a day by day and more than nato can produce it together every day. so that's something the both leaders are discussing. and of course, then there is china at something the united states is expected to fondly put on the agenda, which china still saying it is not supplying any weapons, but growing concerned that there could be a breach of the ban on any weapons being supplied to russia mckayla, just as a follow up to that. how much effort do we know is being devoted by germany and the us trying to prevent china entering the you friend will, as you say, as
6:08 pm
a weapon supplier to moscow. well, let's put it this way. this is top of the list of the political agenda, china, let's just remind ourselves, says it is against a conflict. it's has itself a put of what he calls a piece plan on the table. it agrees with the un carter that said the territorial integrity of all nations should not be intruded upon at the same time as china has been speaking to russia throughout, has been supporting russia and how much this is actually manifests itself in physical support. and that is something that intelligent services are looking at very seats. and as a lot of question marks where the china is doing the once it is saying the one thing and doing the other it. so what we are getting as a clear message here is that if china is being found in violation of supplying weapons, that that would have consequences. and i'm pretty sure that today's will be talking

about what consequences those would be. but it's also a very clear message that we won't be told about this in fans outside the white house. the devil is michaela cook. thank you. ok, let's take a look now at some of the other news headlines from around the world this our veterans human rights activists and noble peace prize winner alice filiette ski has been sentenced the 10 years in prison by a court in belarus. he was charged with smuggling cash into belarus, to allegedly fund opposition activities. his supporters have called it a fake trial. south carolina lawyer alex alex murdock has been sentenced to prison for the rest of his natural life. it was found guilty of murdering his wife and his son defended at up was a prominent lawyer who had enjoyed considerable influence in his county. the trial which heard he had been lying and stealing for decades, attracted worldwide attention. in albany,
