this comes as russia launches new missile strikes on mykolayiv in southern ukraine reportedly killing dozens of ukrainian troops in a base. and battle for control of a critical steel plant is ongoing. >>> and a search for survivors continues at a mariupol theater destroyed by russian bombs earlier this week. president zelenskyy says 130 people have been pulled from the rubble, but hundreds more may still be trapped. let's begin this hour with the breaking on the crash involving u.s. marines. let's bring in natasha bertrand. what more are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, fred, the u.s. marine corps did confirm that four u.s. marines were involved in a training accident as their osprey made its way to northern norway and this accident was part of a nato training exercise, they were conducting a mission there as part of that massive exercise that nato holds pretty regularly. it involves around 30,000 troops, including thousands of u.s. marines. what we're told based on the statement that is have come out from the norwegian authorities is that the weather was pretty bad. when rescue teams

drive to the last ukrainian position outside the port city of mykolayiv and you can see the mess madee kremlin's plans. even the z russian propaganda says it's for the de-nazification they ridiculously be claimed to be acting. its captured, their missiles on display, along with their names. >> it says the army of russia. >> reporter: further down the road are the rest of the russian tanks, but one was left behind. and now, farmers, pensioners and bemused locals are picking it over. the model may be newer but the empire it seeks to restore is long gone. estimate just saying it goes forward but doesn't turn around. the same can't be said for its crew who fled. the ukrainians here are a little gleeful this keeps happening. >> they needed to do that. they didn't have much of a choice. >> reporter: then, a warning -- >> helicopter coming. >> reporter: a helicopter is spotted and we have to leave. rushing in, the weapons, they stated has hit the russian goliath with again and again. the kremlin is sure to impose a cost on anyone it can. ground rockets have slammed into homes regularly. this

emergency services now say 20 people at least killed in a russian strike on the besieged city of mykolayiv, earlier this week. military governor of the second largest city, kharkiv, also saying the region has come under heavier fire. talks between ukraine and russia do go on, but the ukrainian president, volodomyr zelenskyy is not sounding optimistic. >> translator: yes, we have negotiations process but they're only words without anything concrete. we will not give anything away and fight for every meter of our land. >> zelenskyy, repeatedly called for face to face meeting with russian president vladimir putin who u.s. officials say is being kept in the dark about how his war is really dark. an assessment that is shared by british intelligence which believes the russian invaders are having serious morale issues. >> we've seen russian soldiers short of weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders. sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidently shooting down their own aircraft. >> reporter: alex marquardt, cnn, washington. >> thanks very much alex for that report, let's go live to u

what's the latest on the rescue efforts and why is mykolayiv so frequently targeted?> reporter: frederica, those pictures are absolutely incredible, also absolutely terrifying to look at. those two swedish journalists said they believe five russian bombs were dropped on that site. and you can see the scale of destruction. what is remarkable about what they were able to shoot is that in the immediate aftermath, rescuers rushing to get whoever they could out of the rubble, and they actually did manage to pull one man out. incr incredibly, it looks as if there's not even a scratch on him. the death toll is likely to be far less miraculous. it has been almost 36 hours now since that strike took place and we understand from local officials that the rescue efforts are still very much ongoing. hoping that there may be more people under the rubble, that they could be able to get out. mykolayiv is a strategic place in ukraine. it's in the southern part of the country. the russians have been trying to take it for some time now with limited success. the reason it's so important

so i want to bring you now cnn's nick payton walsh in mykolayiv, a port city near the black sea.e quite used to the air raid sirens going off. update our viewers, please, sir. >> reporter: sure, the barracks you're referring to was hit, don on friday morning and took a while for the information to really trickle out but the images that emerged, the damage done are utterly shocking, still. one of the barracks split in two. i spoke to a soldier who told me in the trauma unit afterwards that he was on the third floor asleep and then suddenly found himself on the second floor with the building collapsed. he sort of woke up in his t-shirt and under wear with his legs crushed, lost consciousness and in tears, frankly, as he described the scene, the loss of friends around him. another nearby barracks building reduced to rubble, utterly destroyed by the intensive missile strikes. it seems the death toll not made public, ukraine does that for operational reasons, maybe 30, possibly more, one official i spoke to said 40 injured from this attack, that would be one of the worst ukraine has s

a much more catastrophic death toll we're seeing in the city of mykolayiv.his is a city in southern ukraine and dramatic video captured by the cnn affiliate shows people digging through the rubble franticly trying to get any survivors out. it looks like they actually pull one man out of the rubble and he is remarkably unscathed. however, one surviving soldier told those journalists he figured there was about 200 people in those barracks at the time that five russian bombs were dropped and it's estimate was that 90% of them likely did not survive. we're not in position to confirm those numbers, but it is likely that the death toll will be high there. in the southeastern city of mariupol, new drone footage shows the scale of the destruction there. we are also seeing satellite pictures and if this is any good news, that there is a trickle of cars managing to leave the city through an unofficial humanitarian corridor that at least for the moment seems to be holding, seems to be working to get people out to safety. we are also waiting on more word from the people

mykolayiv is important because it lies at a cross roads for the russians.f they could take that city, it would allow them to go west, open up new fronts into odesa and allow them to turn north and then attack kyiv from the south. we're getting new images from mariupol showing the destruction from the air. we are also seeing aerial pictures, new satellite images, showing a trickle of cars that is starting to leave the city through an unofficial humanitarian corridor, it seems. i say a trickle because there are hundreds of thousands of people still trapped in that city who have not been able to get out. for well over two weeks there's not been heat, power, water and they're running out of food. as you mentioned earlier, president volodymyr zelenskyy says some 130 people my rack l miraculously were able to be pulled out of that theater that was bombed by russians, but hundreds more could be trapped under there. lviv here, has been just yesterday by a new set of strikes. there are 200,000 people in this city who sought shelter from other parts of the country. t

from logistical problems, as well as fairly stiff resistance from a strategic city blocking them, mykolayivthat has, it's now the situation there is calm but there was some intense fighting just on the outskirts of that city, so at the moment, odesa is safe, but as i said, on edge, anderson. >> fred, ukrainian president zelenskyy issued new messages on social media today. what was he trying to get across? >> >> reporter: well he was essentially trying to get across that the russians are failing and basically appealing to the russians to stop all of this because of all the losses they're essentially taking. some of it you're mentioning, he was saying for the first time, russians had over 16,000 killed in action. that's according to ukrainian figures, of course, impossible for us to independently verify that. i think also interesting he was talking about some very senior officers also being lost as well. we talked about the fact that six russian generals have now essentially been confirmed to have been killed, even though the russians don't acknowledge all of that. also, of course, the deputy

appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> now to that deadly strike in mykolayiv. 12 were killed and 34 injuredilding. ben wedeman is near there. what more are you learning about this attack? >> this was an attack that happened at 8:45 this morning. in the very center of this city on the headquarters of the regional governor. a large building. when we went to see the site of the blast, it really just took an entire hole out of that structure. now, according to local authorities at this point, the death toll is at least 12. at least 33 wounded. we saw there were rescue personnel there going through the rubble, trying to find if there are any more casualties in this incident. the regional governor himself on his telegram channel said that he had slept late, that's why he was not there at the time. he has been very vocal condemning the russian invasion and has been very active in trying to keep the moral of this city up through difficult days. this was a strike that happened at a time when russian forces have been significantly pushed back from the outskirts of the city. we were near the front lin

rescuers in the port of mykolayiv are searching for survivors among the rubble of a military barracks that was hit on friday in a russian missile attack. dozens of people are thought to have died. the un human rights office says that at least 847 civilians have been killed in ukraine since the russian invasion began. most of the casualties were caused by heavy artillery, missile and air strikes. two former british prime ministers join calls for a new nuremberg—style tribunal, to investigate vladimir putin for his actions in ukraine. the international criminal court is already investigating the kremlin leader for alleged war crimes in the region. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. kate maltby, columnist for the i newspaper, and lucy beresford, broadcaster and psychotherapist. thanks to them both. let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages. the sunday telegraph leads with news of differences between borisjohnson and his chancellor over whether to push for a dramatic increase in nuclear power facilities. the sunday times says there's bee

in mykolayiv today, more civilian areas were shelled today during a russian attempt to take the city, but the attack's been repelled for now. an attempt to evacuate stranded civilians failed today after russia fired mortars on part of the route. today, a brief lull in the fighting allowed thousands more to flee irpin. the city just north of kyiv has been relentlesy rurc fhas whatu wee on oskts of the town of irpin. we've been hearing the sound of bombardments over the last hour, as civilians try to get out, as ambulances try and to get out of the town and to safety, but still, there are dangers. still, there's bombardment. fragile, cold, and afraid. the weakest residents of irpin are among the last to be rescued. among them was retired russian language teacher nina mykhaylova. 85-years-old and now forced from her home by putin's war, and she feels betrayed. she says, "i can't believe it. since my childhood, i thought the russians were fraternal people. how could this happen?" today zelensky addressed the uk's parliament, echoing the spirit of the britain's wartime leader, winston chur

this is a rescue operation after a military barracks was hit in the southern city of mykolayiv.. that dry was about 36 hours ago. —— that dry. a military spokeswoman has said the final toll is still unknown, as rescuers and soldiers are still pulling out bodies as well as survivors. dozens of people have been killed in one of these latest attacks on a military base in ukraine. in the last hour, our chief international correspondent lyse doucet gave us the latest from the capital kyiv. when people wake up here, if they are not woken up by the air raid sirens, i guess the first question it has to be said, the earlier feeling, the real sense of foreboding here that russian forces, these armoured convoys, it would just be a matter of time before they were approaching from multiple directions, now we know because we can see and hear the surface to air missiles being fired by the ukrainian forces. we can see the black smoke principally from the north—west where there is said to be intense fighting as ukrainian forces actually succeed in pushing back the russian forces. have they decid

mykolayiv. if you want to get the black sea and odessa. this is key. over here is where the russians have at least 6 warships. and you have kyiv which is slowly but surely being encircled because kharkiv which has been shelled for four straight days. it seems they have given up on taking the city and they are moving in that direction. as we move ahead we see the other key place in the mouth. they are well coordinated and armed. the key to keeping them land locked will be taking this area. moving ahead to finding out what will be next? an overview leading up to my next guest. 92% of the russian troops have entered into this country. if you want to know where the humanitarian evacuation is taking place, most to poland, many to romania. if you want to know where the supplies are coming in, they are coming in this way and this way. over 30 countries pledged to give arms as well as supplies and we'll see how that goes. before we got it and check in with bob gates who is standing by, let's go to trey yingst who is right here in the capital city. trey, what's

and they're already moving from kherson up through mykolayiv and all into this area right here whichf a basic plan to go into the central area of ukraine from all of these different directions. >> colonel, a u.s. official is saying that they have delivered hundreds of stinger anti-aircraft missiles to ukraine this week. secretary tony blinken says right now the ukrainians are still able to receive vital defensive equipment. how critical is that kind of weaponry to ukrainian defenders? >> it's exceptionally critical, don. the stinger missile is really what's needed for them to shoot down russian aircraft. if they don't have stingers, they're not going to be able to do that and they're not going to be able to have freedom of movement, which means that the russians will not only control the sky but they'll control whatever else is going on on the ground. so the stingers are vital to ukrainian success. >> how do you think they're getting the weapons in? >> well, they're doing this this way. and let me show you what i think is happening here. they're probably using land areas coming in fr

and they retreated toward mykolayiv. >> do you fear for your own safety, mayor? >> translator: i was born and bred here, raised here. my safety remains whether kherson will remain as part of ukraine. it's part of ukraine. it is ukraine. my safety is the safety of the people of kherson. i worry about the people of kherson and their safety from child to old person, and that's my main concern. >> how long do you think the russians will control kherson? >> translator: the russians will control kherson for as long as the ukrainian army can advance -- or as long as the ukrainian army can advance on kherson. for the time being, they're quite settled here. >> how long before it is a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe inside kherson? >> translator: i think we have a maximum four, five days until a full-scale humanitarian disaster. however, at the moment, we have a number of problems. for example, we can't get power supply to the poultry farms. we have about 3 million poultry there. the feeds are running out. so the birds will die. we also have about 300 people dead in th

yes, however russia continues to shell different cities including near mykolayiv which is a strategicvents russia from encircling kyiv from the west, so this is good but russia still continues to, you know, shell the cities and civilians still can't return there because, you know, rush oz continues to bombard them. >> what about mariupol? this poor city, besieged and encircled for weeks, they're continuing their assault, the russians. >> yes, according to city counsel, 170,000 people still left in mariupol and the situation is getting worse every single day because humanitarian convoys haven't been able to get in mariupol, so food and drinkable water ask running out, medical equipment is running out, and russia continues to shell the city almost all the buildings are destroyed or, you know, damaged because, you know, because of continuous russian shelling and according to estimates between 20,000 to 40,000 people in mariupol have been forcibly moved to other parts of unknown location. >> right, we've heard that, potentially russian-controlled territory. we're here in lviv, western ukr

they have been enjoying a degree of success here in kyiv, pushing back the forces in mykolayiv to the west, in irpin showing the drone images northwest of kyiv, these are all consequences of the on going fighting that is very intense, erin, to the north west and now, i was just today in the east of the city where they are also claiming a number of accesses -- successes. but these are all about protecting kyiv. they haven't necessarily got control, at all, of the battle space elsewhere in the country and of course, mariupol, you were showing those images, extraordinary images of these completely destroyed city going to go down in history as one of the iconic destructions of an entire city conducted in any age, but this one, really, really dramatic. very important location for controlling the last piece of government territory on the asov sea. still, the ukrainians are holding out. still, desperately asking for those weapons, erin. >> it is incredible, just that picture of driving along that edge of the town under that fallen tower. sam kiley, thank you so much reporting live from kyiv

they're trying to encircle cities like mykolayiv. what's really happening on the russian fight is that not been a well-organized effort. they have logistics problems, and as they went into the war, they didn't psychologically or materially prepare their troops. in fact, in all honesty, they lied to them, and they pushed them into ukraine. and that's why we've seen cases of desertion. we have seen a lot of vehicles abandoned. some of them are due to logistical problems but some are clear-cut cases of desertion on the battlefield. ukraine, outmatched conventionally and in terms of qualitative levels of equipment, those fighters have strong resolve. they're fighting for something. >> you know, that leads me to the question of whether russia can really achieve its ultimate political objective of controlling ukraine, especially as we see dead soldiers, wounded russian soldiers now in the thousands. >> that's a great question. so the truth is that given the bad assumptions with which they went into the war, and the operation which was an a

rescuers in the port of mykolayiv are searching for survivors among the rubble of a military barrackssion began. most of the casualties were caused heavy artillery, missile and air strikes. two former british prime ministers join calls for a new nuremberg—style tribunal to investigate vladimir putin for his actions in ukraine. the international criminal court is already investigating the kremlin leader for alleged war crimes in the region. two former british prime ministers — gordon brown and sirjohn major — have called for a new international tribunal to be set up, to investigate vladimir putin, for his actions in ukraine. they've signed a petition, alongside 140 academics, lawyers and politicians — campaigning for a legal system, modelled on the nuremberg trials, of nazi war ciminals, after the second world war. gordon brown spoke to bbc radio 4 earlier. go back to 1942, when the allies got together and said that they would punish war crimes and that led to the nuremberg trials, what's unique about this is that we are seeing, as you just reported from mariupol, the indiscriminate bo

the other spot is mykolayiv in the south. this is still a contested around mykolayiv.ge of essentially farmers taking a russian tank, essentially taking it off there. the big question is they have to prevent the north and south axes from joining. from the north and sumy you see them advance south. i think for the european military the key is to keep these two axes from linking. when that happens as we saw here from the land bridge from crimea to mariupol, you see them move in, there are logistical trains that are more advanced. this is rail trains, essentially moving supplies back and forth. with most of the nuclear sites they have major trail heads which allow you to move supplies back and forth. i think it is still possible, but i don't have a good handle on what the ukrainian resupply is like or what it will be like over time. >> professor freedman, the british government has agreed to send anti-aircraft missiles. tell us how they compare to the stingers and how much difference they could make on the battlefield for the ukrainians in the context of nato and the west

this afternoon that civilians were prevented from leaving kyiv, mariupol, kharkiv, volnovakha and mykolayivecause of the continued russian assaults. earlier in the day, moscow had offered the ukrainian government six new "humanitarian corridors". they were rejected. four of the routes lead straight into russia to the east and belarus to the north. through the same routes the russian columns had taken when they invaded 12 days ago. "completely immoral" said the ukrainians. only two of the suggested routes took people away from the troops that were shelling their homes. and you only need to look at the pictures from the second biggest city, kharkiv, to remind yourself why, a route out, to remind yourself why a route out is so desperately needed. this is video from a residential building on the heavenly hundred, heroes square hit by another massive bombardment last night. large parts of kharkiv are in ruins. is at this precision bombing? so no agreement yet — but with russian troops slowly advancing on the capital, the urgency grows. in towns like irpin — 16 miles from the city limits — from w

talked about logistics and train rail head, important for armor, but they advance to kherson and mykolayivo advance but they can't hold and secure the rear area which brings down logistics. they're going to struggle over time because the way they conducted the battle is so spread out on so many fronts and they're pushing all of their combat power forward without securing the rear area so ukrainians will put up a tough fight. in tend as we look at this and we zoom back out, what you will see is different options putin is going to try to look at. you are hearing his change his language a little bit about what he would settle to. another thing to look at is his ability to establish what he would call essentially new russia. this is a historical area where putin has said for a long time he wants to unite all russian people. that would give him essentially all of the northern part of the black sea. he may option in different ways for this territory over time. >> clint, we've heard president zelenskyy, other officials in ukraine pleading for a no-fly zone. that's been a non-starter for president
