ok, jonah, so much happening across the country. but i just wanted to ask you about the, the famous convoy to 65 kilometer russian convoy, which is apparently going nowhere according to satellite imagery, according to western intelligence agencies, monitoring closely. it hasn't moved fairly an inch in about 3 days now. it is essentially stalled, they speculate about the causes of that they are potentially multiple logistical mechanical morale related and potentially really resistance related as well. the ukranian forces on the ground hitting the convoy at various points along its flanks . there are suggestions that all sorts of things are going wrong. i mean, there are communications problems. there are breakdowns in satellite i beg your pardon, i was being interrupted there at the simple fact is this convoy maybe about bog down now, but it is at some point going to get started again. we're here talk of humanitarian corridors as a result of those talks on thursday. those humanitarian corridors, when they happened could provide the r

jonah whole is there. so, jonah, it's clear that moscow's intensified it's bombardments of ukraine's major cities concave castle. maria pal yesterday's very significant. potentially this news that russia has gained control of casts on it. we should point out that the local authorities are not conceding that they've lost control of the city. the local administration claim still to be functioning as you heard there. but it's very clear that russian soldiers, artillery and armor are inside the city, as you said on challenge. so to all intents and purposes, a cache on has fallen. it's strategically important. it's on the denise river, just the sort of mass of the crime in peninsula. each ease the beginning, if you like, of a land bridge, a land corridor connecting crime near to the breakaway regions of the east. one of the sort of presumed war goals of the russians to create that land bridge. further along to the east is along that that route is matter. you poll, you mentioned it half a 1000000 people that hav

jonah hall is in movies this saturday. hi jonah. i mean, you can't really focus on any one area at the moment because the fighting is just right across the country. yeah, you know, leaving aside the encroaching, rushing forces, the dispersal of that massive column that we've heard move out, talking about the heading in the direction or at least making some gains on the capital key of this been activity across a whole range of other front lines as well, mostly in circle cities like hockey in the east to seen renewed attacks, the local emergency services. they're describing finding 5 bodies in the rubble of a residential building after a tax. overnight 2 of them children re renewed a tax of course on murray. a fall that i took a delighted besieged city in the south city of over 400000 people that's been bombarded and blockaded for a full 12 days. neither the local mess is the civilian death toll a load in that city exceeds $1500.00 on the news that mos came under attack. in the early i was the saturday morning, apparently a mosque she

don't 0, jonah hall is in la. viv at jonah talked to what you're hearing at the moment from maria poll, which is a city under seas where, where cj, where people are in a desperate situation. right now. my pole is down in the south on the black sea. it's a city of half a 1000000 people. it's a big port. and it is an extremely important strategic objective for the russians now because it will complete if they take it, a land bridge between crimea and the eastern breakaway regions. the city is completely surrounded. it has been for a few days now. it is cut off from supplies from means of entry of exit, heat, electricity, also internet and mobile phone communication. so it's very difficult to get a comprehensive picture of what is going on inside. except that the reports we hear indicate pretty sustained bombardment of the city. it's a fairly soda class exceeds situation. the russians have taken a lot of territory along that southern coast, so far as the se, maria pole, the big hold up. there is also the suggestion, the suspicion that russia plans a land invasion from the sea of odessa, w

let's get an update from jonah hull. he is reporting from levine this out near the border with poland. let's start with the what's happening in her son. well, these reports that russia is in control of song are significant. we heard from the ukranian side that they had control of the railway station and the police station and central administration buildings. it would mean that this becomes the 1st city that russia has full control of in 7 days of an inch of its invasion. so far, strategic it is on the denise for river. it's just to the west of crimea, annex, of course in 2014 to the east of crimea. i'm much more substantial port city mario paul is in circles and under sustained attack. the sort of overall objective here to try and build a land bridge, a land corridor, unsecure it between climate and those breakaway regions to the east, have san, perhaps an effort as well. to extend that corridor all the way along ukraine's southern black sea coast and deprived the rump of ukraine from its access to the sea. up towards t

that's interesting, jonah.d what you think the russian strategy is now, given that these attacks on lviv in the west came a day after president putin said he was intending to focus his core efforts on the east? i don't think it necessarily invalidates what the russian ministry of defence has been saying about their strategy, because we can separate out the ground position which, effectively, on the ground, russia has stalled outside a lot of major cities here in ukraine. so what we heard from the ministry of defence on friday was that they were effectively trying to reframe what would be a success for them in terms of territory taken, and that would be to increase territories in the eastern part of ukraine. there was a separate part of that briefing where they talked about their activities elsewhere. effectively what they said is, "what we're doing outside eastern ukraine is designed to occupy ukrainian military, to degrade their capacity to wage war." and you could see the strikes here targeting fuel, targetin

thanks so much, jonah. how now european union leaders, their meeting of a sigh for crisis talks. as russia pushes ahead with invasion of ukraine into my picture, they're coming in from the sy in france. it was economic impact is top of the agenda. the to day summit leaders will consider imposing fresh sanctions on moscow, but also be discussing ukraine's request to join the block of the my to get a james base joins us now from the sign front. not very positive signals coming out of the sy about ukraine joining. the you right james? no, not very positive signals on another of a number of different issues. sammy 1st let me start, you know, what happened in those talks in turkey, no progress a told no prospect of a c spot. but we've also had a phone call with the german chancellor of schultz, the french president, emanuel macro, and well, the french president brief reporters in the last half hour or so. and the, i'm afraid it's very depressing news from the man who has spoken to president putin in the last couple of hours. i have to be honest, i am worried. i am pessimistic, said th

let's get an update on things with jonah holl reporting from la viv jonah, take us through some of the latest developments up, particularly these evacuation corridors. yeah, well we await an idea from the ukranian administration about just how well these corridors have function today. how many people have managed to leave? they have been open. we understand for places like su me as it's been for much of the week now. down to poll tava quite a steady flow of people leaving that north eastern city and also evacuation roots continue to operate out of the suburban centers around the north and north west of the capital. key of people flowing into the capital key of away from heavy flies fighting them in about a week of evacuation corridors operating we're told 487000 people have been taken out of very dangerous areas including a 100000 children. but one place that hasn't had any respite and i'm afraid it appears, continues not to have had on saturdays. of course, my real poll at the southern black sea port city 400000 people who live there. it's been besieged, bombarded for 12 days. now the

jonah ha.

jonah, what's the situation then across the rest of the country? ongoing reports of attacks across all the front lines into the car key. that big city of any one and a half 1000000 ethnic russian speakers. many of them, of course, will have fled by now emergency services saying they pulled 5 bodies from the rubble of a residential building, including 2 children from a tax overnight. mario paul as well, of course, completely besieged blockaded, bombarded, constantly, a mosque said to have been shell during the early hours of the morning. that was sheltering 18 people among them. turkey citizens. we haven't had any update on potential casualties. they're further attacks on denise pro in the center, so it's 1st missile strike on friday. those apparently were repelled by defense is further attempts to probe the ukrainian defenses around the port city of mich alive, an important potential gateway to odessa, also repelled. we understand mister lensky as you heard him, that vowels report particularly exercised about the capture of the mayor, of many toppl

let's speak to jonah hall, who is live for us from live. he of jonah, what do we know about these reporter plans to allow civilians to evacuate? i think we've got to be quite careful with these reports to be frank. this is information emerging in the last hour or so from the russian military defense quoted by the russian into fax news agency. suggesting that as of now 9 am local time here in ukraine, humanitarian corridors will be opened out of the cities of kiev. marriott pulled down in the south, how keeping the east and sumi in between our keys and key of to allow for silly civilians to escape heavy fighting in those 4 places. the reason i suggest caution is as follows: twofold, the 1st we've heard nothing from the ukrainian side to support this initiative to suggest that they are in coordination or on sides. it looks very much like a unilateral russian initiative at this point. and secondly, the russian ministry of defense is spelled out the routes that people would take out of these places. that's convoys on the safe passage would be p

perhaps jonah's call to go deeper is a call to acknowledge the power that resides in the earth itself. the organic intelligence inherent in deserts and forests, rivers and oceans and all manner of species beyond our own even within our own bodies, we cannot create wild nature. we can only destroy it. and in the end, in breathtaking acts of repentance and renewal try to restore what we have thoughtlessly removed at our own expense be it wolves in the yellowstone or fly catchers along the colorado river. we are eroding and evolving at once. how do we find the strength to not look away at all that is breaking our hearts? hands on the earth, we remember where the source of our authentic power comes from. we have to go deeper. what has been weth -- weathered and whittled away, erosion, essence, we are eroding and einvolving twins. the 14th century buddhist poet shinron said this happened. now something else can occur. we need not lose hope. we just need to locate where it dwells. to dwell is to see things as they are, and then you stay and fight for the things you love in your own communit

and jonah, what about the civilian cora doors? are they still holding people getting out? look to be totally honest. we're not getting a lot in the way of reports even by social media about the success of humanitarian corridors on thursday. we know that was limited success. on wednesday, the 35000 people were able to make their escape from a range of different locations and the day began on thursday with word from the ukranian side that at least 3 other corridors would be opened from sumi in the north, from vulnerable and is you in the east, we don't hear anything to the country. let's put it that way. we're not hearing about a tax in those places so we can assume that some sort of humanitarian escape is taking place. but nothing like on the scale that is required. we are hearing from mary paul we did earlier here for mary paul, the humanitarian convoy that was trying to get into the city was shelled and had to turn around and head back up to where is your from where it's at origin aided. so no escape from the 200000 people estimated inside murray of paul who want and need

ok, let's cross live now to jonah hole who is in la v. that for a says so jonah, let's start with that is capture of care sun, which of course is slightly disappeared or at least a ukrainian forces say they're fighting on, but how significant is it if indeed it is the case, russia is control in control of song and they say they are, and so the pictures indicate that they are all. there are lots of pictures of heavy russian. amr and artillery parading quite at ease through the city and through the main thoroughfare through the center of the city. if indeed, this is the case, it is significant 7 days into this invasion, no other urban centre has fallen to the russians. every intelligence analyst will tell you that they will have hoped for much quicker capitulation, they won't have counted on the storm ukrainian resistance. so it's not if you like in the russians belt, that they've got one city down. it's a strategic target. it's only denita river. it's also on the black sea coast, just to the immediate west of the crime in peninsula. and wh

jonah, how al jazeera louise was also in louis visit andrew simmons for us this morning. good morning, andrew. why don't you start with the situation? and that seems to be the most pressing. it certainly does come all the situation. hockey's. the 2nd city of ukraine is critical. it really is, or there are paratroopers reports to be on the outskirts of the city that they were fought. they what preceded that was a colossal or massive blast at the it the military air field, something like 67 kilometers outside the city. it filled the night sky. it was in fact and secondary explosion to the missiles strike, which she took out, a rock hits miss isles bombs. what looked like it almost looked like a nuclear explosion. it was huge. and then the paratroopers were landing something like 34 hours after that more bombardments, on hoc heave over nights. the latest on the we've heard from the military press office is that there were no deaths in an attack on the military hospital. what near where these proud troopers landed, and there is a hand to hand fighting going on. no news of exa

jonah haul has more from levin supervisor to this blogger. nikita dement off, he lives in the eastern city of her keys and he's explaining to his followers how their donations are being spent to help civilians on the front line. across ukraine, along shifting front lines from the north to the east and to the south. civilians are under attack when they emerge from basements and shelters. as here in the town of pin close to keep. it is often to a landscape they can neither recognise nor comprehend. homes destroyed hospitals, overwhelmed heating, water, and electricity cut off and with limited avenues of escape. that's why safe passage is so important. now. humanitarian corridors out of vall, nevada, and the port city of mario pole in the south failed on saturday because of continued russian attacks. negotiations are said to be ongoing. ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance. so heavier fire power is being unleashed from the air. yet the ukrainian government urgent calls for a no fly zone have gone an onset, which explains this angry warning by president float

from here in lviv, jonah fisher has this report. week after it happened, footage has emerged from inside mariupol�*s theatre of the terrifying moments just after it was destroyed. "a missile hit the theatre right in the centre," the voice says, as people try to escape a building they had come to for shelter. fighting has made it hard to verify exactly how many died under the rubble. local officials today said it could be several hundred. what is clear is that the theatre was marked with the russian word "deti," or "children," and was targeted all the same. well, in mariupol the russians are still making slow progress. elsewhere, they have largely ground to a halt. indeed, there have been some indications, particularly around kyiv, the ukrainian army is forcing the russians back. the now ruined town of makariv, a0 miles to the west of kyiv, was recaptured this week. and yesterday a large russian warship in the captured ukrainian port of berdyansk was sunk, and several other ships damaged. to the south, mykolaiv is another city that h

jonah whole al jazeera, jonah mentioned ukrainian officials say the defunct chernobyl nuclear plant has been knocked off the power grid. terry ralph is a former official with the international atomic energy agency. he says, as far as international regulators are aware, general has backup power. but they are concerned about staff safety. there are actually 8 power lines coming in, future mobile to 750 kilowatt lines. for 330 kilowatt lines. to 110 kilowatt lines. they also say that they have backup diesel fuel to run the generators for 7 days. so we don't know which information is correct and, and why if the previously the regulator reported to the i e a that they had a power lines and these are sufficient for 7 days. why are they are now saying that the hours then there is only these or 48 hours? i think this is something that the i, e a and the gradient parties need to resolve very quickly. however, according to the, again, to the regulator. if, even if the interim spent fuel pooly spent fuel cooling on lose electric power supply, they still have diesel generators. and also, as i said

ok, jonah. what about the situation in terms of the fighting across the country which areas on now we're continuing to come on the russian bombardment. in terms of painting a wider picture for you of the emerging and developing sort of front lines, i think it's worth bearing in mind that there sort of 2 perspectives to consider here in terms of the russian attack. the one is a picture that is frequently painted by western intelligence services of an army that is increasingly bog down on the ground that is dog by logistical and support issues, mechanical breakdown, morale issues, part literally getting stuck in the mud. as the spring thor begins with the sun shining today for the 1st day and several in t. a. for instance, that 40 mile long convoy heading towards key that we had so much about hasn't moved in 6 days. and clearly, the russians having some trouble. marshalling supplies and support for that convoy on the ground, but they are having much better luck with supply routes from air is that

i've been building up out as a was jonah, how begins are coverage live from live in western ukraine. russia has widened the scope of its war on ukraine. a suspected cruise missile hit the local administration building in freedom square, no less in the center of the eastern city of har. keith holmes regularly come under fire. now to this is an apartment building in the black sea port city of her san. and this hockey again, was guess how bad you think if, if the, the russian liberators have come, the man shouts. in the aftermath of tuesdays miss al strike, president followed him at zalinski, addressing the european union called it the price of freedom this morning. temper is miss isles, hit this, the freedom square, dozens of kill ones. this is the price afraid of the translators, struggles to contain his emotion. what we are fighting, both of the fleas, just for our lad and for our freedom. 70 ukrainian soldiers died when a military base was targeted by heavy artillery in arctic. but the veil has fallen from russia's claims that it's carrying out a special operation aimed purely at mi

let's bring in, jonah holl, who's live for us in at levine. hello there, jonah fees, criticism from the ukranian president, but that's unlikely to be enough to change nato's mind. president landscape message hardening all the time. and, and of course that he's because the situation that he's country faces is worsening . all the time. mario paul is not the only city by any manner of means that needs a humanitarian corridor and needs it desperately. you've got battlefields all the way from the north in germany have as you said, the renew to tax there all the way down to the sort of dormitory towns that surround the capital key of mark leap, bought a young, been hostile bell all under repeat. and almost constant certainly threat and attack on civilian areas, car keys to the east. russian forces 10 kilometers from the center there. and renewed concerns now about odessa, in the south with forces moving apparently in a westerly direction, from hatch song through because live perhaps to double back on that enormous port city or desa. already worried

and we were just hearing there from jonah painting the desperate situation for millions of people in ukraine. tell us a little bit more about this agreement, the russians ukrainians have come to when it comes to humanitarian corridors. what, what do we actually know? we know this, that there is an agreement. its details are apparently pretty fresh, but there are so many possible question marks about how such corridors are implemented. but have to add that this is better than expected. some had thought the would be a break up in these talks and there have been suggestions that the were further apart than ever before. will they all essentially, in terms of any possible agreement on the conflicts, but on the issue of humanitarian need, which is absolutely desperate, as you saw in jonah's report, there is this tacit agreement and it goes like this. they agree that they will form humanitarian codle's russians in the ukrainians in essentially a complex and difficult circumstances. and they will have some form of ceasefire. a localized sees far on each of the corridors in involved when they
