kabul. the authorities in shanghai say the chinese city is too important to the national and world economy toay be ready to abandon its zero—covid strategy, despite a rising number of infections. shanghai recorded more than 2,000 new cases on saturday. in the past, china locked down entire towns and cities following the discovery ofjust a few infections. but in shanghai, the authorities are closing down only affected neighbourhoods and relying on self—testing. formula one has confirmed the saudi arabian grand prix will go ahead despite friday's missile attack on an oil facilty 12 miles from thejeddah circuit. f1 and its governing body, the fia, said they have been provided "full and detailed assurances that the event is secure". drivers met for several hours until early on saturday to discuss their position. houthi rebels in neighbouring yemen said they had targeted the oil facility. denmark footballer christian eriksen has scored with his first touch, less than two minutes into his return to international football. he was playing for his country for the first time since he suffered a cardiac

that's her and her family on screen after fleeing kabul in afghanistan when the taliban took over that citytimes in one year dropping everything because war, two different wars, destroyed their home. now here's more of her story. when the war in ukraine started journalist fatima knew she had to get the family to safety fast. >> my parents like this situation is really getting ugly. you better do something. i don't know what to do. >> reporter: it is a dangerous journey. after escaping the home in afghanistan last summer when the taliban took control she said she was tar gassed and sexually assaulted but with the help of a friend and u.s. and foreign military personnel she went to ukraine and the family joining her. i met her last fall an afghan refugee in the u.s. but the family, mom, dad, brother, baby sister stayed behind in ukraine. what did you say to the woman who was working with them to help get you and the family out? >> to be honest, i'm grateful they saved my lifer. i don't know what would happen to me. >> reporter: now the family is reliving a nightmare. leaving kyiv. you and the

cities. the capital was leveled in the fighting. 20 years earlier, the then soviet union invaded neighboring afghanistan in an attempt to reinforce the soviet regime in kabul. the soviets never sent enough soldiers to account for stiff resistance by afghans and foreign fighters. let me come to you and ask you about, you know, the scale of russia's military involvement in ukraine compared to, first of all, the entire capacity of russian forces and compared to these recent conflicts, if it's syria or even going as far back as the afghanistan war. how has russia fared? what is different this time? >> this war in ukraine is perhaps more similar to soviet involvement in afghanistan and russia's wars in chechnya then compared to involvement in syria. it is similar to syria in the fact that they are leveling cities and committing serious atrocities against civilians, but it is different because syria did not have such major ground campaigns from the russian forces. afghanistan and chechnya were long winding wars against insurgencies, eventually, that lasted for years and a major drain from moscow's forces. this is something that while still very early in ukraine'

kabul. now, let's get the very latest on the situation in ukraine, and cross to my colleague ben brown, who's in the western cityre signs that ukrainian forces are going on the offensive. the ukrainian government says its troops have retaken the town of makariv, west of the capital kyiv. local authorities there say ukrainian flags are flying in the town once more. volunteers and troops in the southern town of voznesens'k destroyed a russian armoured convoy and pushed back russian forces. and in kherson, the first city to fall, ukrainian forces are trying to recapture territory. but the port city of mariupol is still under intense russian bombardement. president zelensky says around 100,000 civilians are now trapped there without food, water or power. 0ur correspondent wyre davies has been speaking to a survivor of the russian attack on the city's theatre — where hundreds of civilians including children had been taking shelter. maria walked for four days to escape mariupol. without money, a car orfamily, she has nothing. she's the first known survivor of the mariupol theatre attack to speak about what happened. t

what, marcus, a few months ago you were also in kabul in afghanistan during the rather chaotic withdrawal of u.s. troops. and now you're in kyiv, another city on edge right now, waiting as russian forces are drawing closer and closer to the capital. is there anything in the situation in the ukrainian capital that actually reminds you of what you saw in afghanistan? >> not really. i mean, these two conflicts are very different. i don't think there's kwquite a comparison in that sense. i mean, like everybody expected a standoff in afghanistan once the u.s. forces pulled out, but we never saw that. in this sense, there is a final -- i think there is going to be a final showdown with the way the city is fortified all over. i mean, you know, russian forces are trying to make a move from the northwest and the northeast right now, and they're spreading out their forces to try to surround the city. so i think in that -- i think people are fighting back. people are willing to fight back. and i think there is some hope for the city. >> let's hope indeed. stay safe over there. as i tell all of our cnn journalist on the ground in ukraine right now. be

kabul. >> we're starting the see a closing in around the capital city with you stand, kyiv.t kind of resis stance they are encounter. >> reporter: the russian military offensive started out slow. it's gaining momentum. it's taking two basic shapes. one is siege. the other is attack. we are seeing classic siege warfare that dates back decades, if not centuries with russian forces surrounding and keeping the people inside. the red cross said there's no medicine left in city. people have begun to fight over food. the other tactic, attacking city, population centers and this city, the capitalrussia's massive military convoy that's been stalled is once again on the move. >> two and a half million refugee and counting, fleeing ukraine. thank you. once again the president addressing the nation to announce the u.s. will revoke favored trade nation status for russia and will ban import such as seafood, vodka and caviar. we'll have more on msnbc, nbc news now and later on nightly news. most you have will return to the today lindor. made to melt you. sometimes the house itself can tell
