1 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,760 This is the first time 2 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,320 I saw "Z," the Russian sign of war. 3 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,840 The hospital is surrounded. 4 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,080 Dozens of doctors, hundreds of patients and us. 5 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,640 I have no illusions about 6 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,280 what will happen to us if we are caught. 7 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,400 February 24, 2022. 8 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,520 The city looks normal. 9 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,120 Someone once told me, "Wars don't start with explosions. 10 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 They start with silence." 11 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,680 When we realized that the invasion was imminent, 12 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,640 our team decided to go to Mariupol. 13 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,600 We were sure it would be one of the main targets. 14 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200 But we could never imagine the scale 15 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,560 and that the whole country would be under attack. 16 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,960 An hour after we arrive, 17 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,080 the first bombs hit in the outskirts of the city. 18 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,680 A military base with antiaircraft systems. 19 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,080 Russians are clearing the path for warplanes. 20 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,480 Huge port, industrial city, 21 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320 a bridge to Crimea. 22 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,440 We were here eight years ago when Russia tried to take it. 23 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200 And, without a doubt, they will try again. 24 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,680 We drive to the Left Bank, 25 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680 the part of the city closest to Russia. 26 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,600 This is the first person 27 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,400 I speak to today. 28 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880 I don't know if I should keep filming 29 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,640 or try to calm her down. 30 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,960 I was wrong. 31 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,400 An hour later, shells do hit this neighborhood. 32 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,880 There are no directives 33 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,400 to evacuate the city, 34 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,000 but some people are leaving anyway. 35 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,200 I understand their anger. 36 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,200 Their country is being attacked. 37 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,200 It's our country, too, 38 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320 and we have to tell its story. 39 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,760 There are almost no real bomb shelters in the city, 40 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,920 so people hide in the basements of their apartment buildings. 41 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,400 Suddenly, the lights go out. 42 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,880 We send videos and photos 43 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,520 to our editors. 44 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,400 The war has begun. 45 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120 Ukraine is now a nation at war. 46 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480 190,000 Russian troops and their proxies 47 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,880 coming from Ukraine's northern, eastern and southern borders. 48 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,800 Russia is moving fast. 49 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800 After Putin stopped speaking, 50 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,800 on cue, the missiles and air strikes began. 51 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,760 Air raid sirens sounded on and off. 52 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,640 Kharkiv in the east and Mariupol in the south 53 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,200 both came under heavy fire. 54 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,760 There's real anger in the air. 55 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,520 The hatred for Vladimir Putin is... is palpable. 56 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,000 February 26th. 57 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480 This is emergency broadcast system. 58 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,440 Russians are starting to surround the city, 59 00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,880 taking towns and blocking the roads on the outskirts. 60 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,040 A quarter of the residents have left. 61 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,200 But most decided to stay. 62 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,680 This is Terrasport fitness center. 63 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,800 Now it's one of the biggest improvised shelters 64 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,600 in the city. 65 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,400 People put tape on the mirrors so fewer fragments are created 66 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,400 when bombs fall. 67 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,840 This woman, 68 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,840 she's the one I told to stay home on the first day. 69 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,440 I apologize. 70 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,640 I'm glad she is okay. 71 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,880 As I look at all these children, 72 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600 I think about my daughters. 73 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,400 They also have to leave their home because of this war. 74 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,440 News comes from all over Ukraine, 75 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,720 and I cannot get over the feeling 76 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,760 that something terrible is going to happen to this city. 77 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,720 Missiles fired at civilian locations, 78 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,080 according to the Ukrainians, 79 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,480 even though the Russians say 80 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680 they are not targeting civilians. 81 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Their worst nightmare coming true, 82 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,680 thousands of citizens are trying to flee the country. 83 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,200 And those who are left behind have filled bomb shelters 84 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,840 amid fears of rocket attacks overnight. 85 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,400 Ukrainian soldiers like these 86 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280 have put up a stout defense of Mariupol 87 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,000 because, as a large port, it's economically vital, 88 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,480 and as a major city just 30 miles from Russia, 89 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,200 it's strategic. 90 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,320 For both sides in this war, it is quite a prize. 91 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200 February 27th. 92 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,400 Soldiers are patrolling around Emergency Hospital Number Two, 93 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,840 a couple kilometers from the front line 94 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,600 on the edge of the city. 95 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,880 So far, Russians have not been able to break through. 96 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,800 For the first time in Mariupol, 97 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,600 I hear a sound of a fighter jet. 98 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,240 The soldiers are tense 99 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,280 and don't want to be filmed. 100 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,760 We're interrupted 101 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,000 by an ambulance siren. 102 00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:01,880 Evangelina, four years old. 103 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,080 U.S. officials warn 104 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,480 that Russian forces are turning to their old and brutal tactics 105 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,920 of laying siege to cities 106 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,800 while targeting civilians and infrastructure from afar. 107 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,800 ...these punishing artillery 108 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,320 and air strikes. 109 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,680 Heavy losses, as indiscriminate shelling rain down 110 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,120 on apartment buildings, 111 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,920 the university in flames. 112 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,480 "Show this to Putin," a doctor said 113 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,440 to an AP reporter. 114 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,920 The doctor wanted Vladimir Putin to see, quote, 115 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,560 "the eyes of this child and crying doctors." 116 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Anyone wanting to leave Mariupol 117 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,680 probably has to hit the road by tomorrow, 118 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,520 after which the last route out is expected to close. 119 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,400 March 2nd. 120 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,280 Russian strikes are causing problems with Internet 121 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,200 and electricity. 122 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,240 All the international journalists 123 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,960 we met in Mariupol have left. 124 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,360 But we decide to stick with the medics for a few days. 125 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,920 We drive to the Left Bank, 126 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,160 where the heaviest fighting is happening. 127 00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,840 This woman was standing 128 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,640 on her balcony when the shell hit the house 129 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,840 on the opposite side of the street. 130 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,400 But shells don't just hit the Left Bank. 131 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,400 These days, attacks happen all across the city. 132 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,560 The boy was playing soccer 133 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760 with his friends when shelling started. 134 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,360 His legs were completely blown off. 135 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,400 Ilya, 16 years old. 136 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,760 The front line is closing in. 137 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,680 We've sent all the photos and videos. 138 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,640 Note to editors: graphic content. 139 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,200 This is painful. 140 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,480 This is painful to watch. 141 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,920 But it must be painful to watch. 142 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,920 In the port city of Mariupol, 143 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,800 local officials say hundreds of casualties are now feared. 144 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,480 A father lost in grief 145 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,960 over the body of his 16-year-old son Ilya. 146 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,960 The electricity's gone. 147 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,280 The Internet's gone. 148 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,320 The Russians are coming. 149 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,320 Mariupol awaits its fate. 150 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,040 March 3rd. 151 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,520 The shelling has reached 152 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,200 the neighborhood around the hospital. 153 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,840 Patients are moved 154 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,400 away from the windows, 155 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,880 and day after day, 156 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,440 the conditions in the hospital get worse. 157 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,400 This is one of the boys who was hit 158 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,360 while playing soccer. 159 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,480 Doctors smile at him, 160 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,040 but I hear a whisper that his leg may need to be amputated. 161 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,240 There are almost no antibiotics left to stop the sepsis. 162 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,840 The Internet and phones 163 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,800 have stopped working, 164 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,720 and I'm sending short dispatches to our editors 165 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,360 over the satellite phone. 166 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,400 The morgue is full, so doctors store bodies in utility rooms. 167 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400 We stay and sleep in the hospital. 168 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,160 So far, it seems to be the safest place. 169 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,800 From our observation point 170 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,640 on the seventh floor of the hospital, 171 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,560 I see the battle on the front line continues. 172 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,760 Russians are still trying to break into the city. 173 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,800 Kyryl, 18 months old. 174 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,120 All night, we sit 175 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,920 on the seventh floor of the hospital, 176 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,400 hoping to catch a connection, 177 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,040 to find a way to get these images out. 178 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Nothing works. 179 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,760 I think about all this country has been through 180 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,880 over the past eight years, 181 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,640 all that I've filmed. 182 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,200 Revolution of Dignity. 183 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,960 Crimea's annexation. 184 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,440 Russia's invasion of Donbas. 185 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,360 MH17. 186 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,200 Donetsk airport siege. 187 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,960 War that seems endless. 188 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,480 Thousands have died. 189 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,600 We keep filming. 190 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,240 And things stay the same. 191 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,880 Worse even. 192 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,360 Propaganda turns everything upside down. 193 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,080 I think about my daughters. 194 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,000 They were born into a world at war. 195 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,360 I wish I could see them now. 196 00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:18,160 But all I have is a satellite phone 197 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,000 to make short calls to editors. 198 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,280 We tell them, "Mariupol is under siege. 199 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,560 "Russians are killing civilians. 200 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,720 "We are holding up. 201 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,280 Tell our families we love them." 202 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,080 Evacuations of two besieged cities in Ukraine 203 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,440 are being delayed amid reports that 204 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,240 Russia is violating a temporary cease-fire. 205 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,200 The city is surrounded by Russian troops, 206 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,800 and there is no way out, 207 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,400 even for any humanitarian help. 208 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,000 The situation is really dire in Mariupol. 209 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,160 A courier that was planned to evacuate people from there, 210 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160 and we've heard that it has not happened, 211 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,640 that Russian forces have continued to shell the city. 212 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,160 That's what the mayor has said. 213 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,800 Um, we have no real-time information 214 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,120 of what's going on in the city. 215 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,000 This is the only radio signal 216 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,320 you can catch in Mariupol now. 217 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Over the next weeks, Russia will bomb buildings, 218 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,600 cut electricity, water, supplies, 219 00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,920 and finally, crucially, the cell phone, 220 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,560 radio, television towers. 221 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,440 We have to get out of the hospital 222 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,640 to try to find a connection, 223 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,240 to see what's happening to the city. 224 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,600 March 4th. 225 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,040 A mall near the hospital was destroyed. 226 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,040 As we search for a connection, 227 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,720 we go neighborhood to neighborhood. 228 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:28,560 Houses we saw standing days ago are destroyed. 229 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,720 We follow the smoke. 230 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,040 Houses hit by shells burn. 231 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,640 A humanitarian corridor was opened on March 5th. 232 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,680 Vehicles fled the city, 233 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,720 only to be blocked by Russian forces. 234 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,520 Then the road was closed. 235 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,400 Red Cross, police, 236 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,240 Ukrainian soldiers try to help and calm people down. 237 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,400 The more people realize 238 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,720 that they are trapped, 239 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,160 the more desperate they grow. 240 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,680 The city changed so much, so quickly. 241 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,040 When we were in the hospital, 242 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,880 one of the doctors told me, 243 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000 "War is like an X-ray. 244 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,400 All human insides become visible." 245 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,640 "Good people become better. 246 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,360 Bad people worse." 247 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,760 But I thought, 248 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:08,200 "It's not only the bombs, lack of food, water. 249 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,760 "It's isolation, the inability to contact relatives, 250 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,200 to find out what's happening in other cities." 251 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,640 People charge cell phones from a generator 252 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,760 just to use them as flashlights. 253 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,280 Cut off. 254 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,800 We feel the same. 255 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,440 We still cannot send our images. 256 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,920 That night, 257 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,760 as we watch artillery shooting, 258 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,920 our phones suddenly pick up connection. 259 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,720 I split the footage into ten-second clips, 260 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,360 set three phones on the windowsill and send. 261 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,600 Bombs continued to rain down 262 00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:43,560 on the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, 263 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,760 which was fully surrounded by Russian troops. 264 00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:51,200 The Russians say 265 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,640 they aren't targeting civilians. 266 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,280 This is 18-month-old Kyryl. 267 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,000 Medics try to save the boy. 268 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,960 They cannot. 269 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,120 March 9th. 270 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,880 Like a disease, war is taking over the city. 271 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,600 We are back at the Emergency Hospital Number Two. 272 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:31,640 The few city workers that are still on duty 273 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,320 collect bodies to be buried. 274 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,560 I recognize this sheet. 275 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,800 It's Ilya, the boy who was killed playing soccer. 276 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,160 Somewhere among these black bags 277 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,520 lie the other children we filmed. 278 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,840 Another truck arrives. 279 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,120 Bodies from the streets. 280 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:48,000 My brain will desperately want to forget all this. 281 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,600 But the camera will not let it happen. 282 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,320 The shock wave. 283 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:16,000 Ears and skin feel the change of pressure. 284 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,320 We hide in the entryway of a building 285 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,480 and wait for another strike, 286 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,040 praying it will not hit us. 287 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,400 We go to the top of the building 288 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,920 and see the smoke just a few blocks away. 289 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,080 It's a hospital. 290 00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:50,920 I try to find out 291 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,920 how many dead and wounded there are. 292 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,560 But in this chaos, nobody can answer. 293 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,000 The name of the police officer 294 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,920 speaking to us is Vladimir. 295 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,600 He wants to make a statement. 296 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,120 And then he asks once more. 297 00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:41,240 Russian troops commit... 298 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,920 ...war crimes. 299 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,880 Our family, our womens, 300 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,480 our children need helps. 301 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,600 Our people needs help from international society. 302 00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:57,920 Please help Mariupol. 303 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,760 Vladimir showed us 304 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,560 the only place in the city 305 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,440 where we could catch a signal and send the images. 306 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,000 Outside a looted grocery store 307 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,360 on Budivel'nykiv Avenue. 308 00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:47,600 Air strikes are 309 00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,600 happening constantly. 310 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,920 Vladimir said the footage 311 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,000 from the maternity hospital 312 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,160 will change the course of the war. 313 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,880 But we have seen so many dead people. 314 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,720 Dead children. 315 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,080 How could more death change anything? 316 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,840 Air strikes on the southern city of Mariupol 317 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,880 destroyed a children's and maternity hospital. 318 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,640 For once, the aftermath of a bombing, 319 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,880 here at the city's maternity hospital, 320 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,200 was filmed for the world to see. 321 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,160 Horror and devastation. 322 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,680 This is clearly the worst and most egregious attack 323 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,800 we have seen in this war so far. 324 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,280 The Associated Press also reports 325 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,640 that city workers have had to create 326 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,400 a mass grave to bury the dead. 327 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,320 And Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky 328 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,520 calling this attack a war crime. 329 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,680 March 10th. 330 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,680 The city is still being bombed. 331 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,480 And now I can also hear heavy machine guns. 332 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,600 That means Russians have entered the city. 333 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,680 Vladimir, the officer we met yesterday, is with us. 334 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,880 The last functioning fire department 335 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,600 in the city destroyed by another air strike. 336 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,240 I don't know if he survived. 337 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,960 We try not to stay long in one place. 338 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:13,800 The biggest university in the city was destroyed, too. 339 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,520 New wounds every day. 340 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,120 We drive back to catch a signal 341 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,680 at the spot on Budivel'nykiv Avenue. 342 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,400 It's still the only place where you can get Internet. 343 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,280 It's past curfew, so Vladimir accompanies us. 344 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,200 We check the news 345 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,040 and speak to editors. 346 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,480 Sorry, what? 347 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,200 Hold on. Hold on. 348 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,080 It's coming back. Hold on. 349 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,320 Hold on, hold on, hold on. 350 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,760 This motherfucker is flying around. 351 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,360 Hold on. I can hear him. 352 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,080 I-I don't think there has been a moment today 353 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,320 when there was not-not an airplane in the air. 354 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,560 And, uh... 355 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,520 I give them the latest. 356 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,280 But there are disturbing updates for us. 357 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,320 Okay. 358 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,200 These women's stories have epitomized 359 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,720 the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. 360 01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,560 And yet, even their suffering has been questioned, 361 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,560 with Russian officials claiming on Twitter 362 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,880 and in news programs that they must be actors. 363 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,400 This maternity hospital had already been 364 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,760 seized by the Azov Battalion and other radicals. 365 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,960 All the pregnant women, all the nurses, 366 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,160 all the service personnel were already expelled from there. 367 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,400 This is information terrorism. 368 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:49,800 We hoped that the pregnant woman 369 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:51,960 on the stretcher survived. 370 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,040 So we went to search for her 371 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,840 and other victims at the Emergency Hospital Number Two. 372 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,040 Soldiers are guarding the entrance. 373 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,920 Vladimir says this is the red zone now. 374 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,960 The Russians have entered the neighborhood. 375 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,760 So he comes with us. 376 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:29,200 Floor by floor, we search for the pregnant women. 377 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:34,520 There is no maternity ward, so we try the surgery department. 378 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,720 Surgeons are overwhelmed and low on painkillers. 379 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,000 This piece of shrapnel was taken from a patient. 380 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,120 Finally, we find one of the doctors 381 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,200 who treated the woman on the stretcher. 382 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,960 Her name was Iryna. 383 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,120 They said she screamed, "Kill me," 384 01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,080 when they brought her. 385 01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,960 She knew her child was dead. 386 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,600 Other survivors are here. 387 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,680 One of them has just given birth. 388 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,040 Another is taken to an operating room. 389 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,440 She lost part of her foot in the bombing 390 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,840 and doctors worry about the child. 391 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,520 We have to leave. 392 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,800 But the corridors are filled with people 393 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,520 who lost homes, relatives. 394 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,800 We head to the exit, but it's too late. 395 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,280 Soldiers say a sniper just shot and injured a nurse 396 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,080 in front of the hospital. 397 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,640 Two soldiers are still trapped. 398 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,680 We hear a low rumble. 399 01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,920 So we run to the seventh floor, 400 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,600 to our observation point. 401 01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,160 It's risky. 402 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,800 They can open fire at upper floors of the hospital. 403 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,960 But from here, we can see more. 404 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,640 They are coming closer. 405 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,440 If reinforcements don't arrive, 406 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,840 the soldiers downstairs will not be able to stop them. 407 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,280 They will take over the hospital. 408 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,680 What should we do? 409 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,640 We need to send all this footage. 410 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,440 Survivors from the maternity bombing. 411 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,560 Tanks shooting at residential areas. 412 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,600 There is no connection here. 413 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,440 And we can't get to our car. 414 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,160 And if we get caught, Vladimir says, 415 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,720 "Russians will make you say everything you published 416 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,440 was a lie." 417 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,720 The night is sleepless. 418 01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:21,840 Feverish thoughts of past, present and future 419 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:23,320 race through my mind. 420 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:32,840 I want all of this to stop, but I have no power over it. 421 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:39,800 My memory keeps carrying me back home and back to war. 422 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,880 If someday my daughters ask me, 423 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,160 "What did you do to stop this madness, 424 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,800 this sadistic virus of destruction?" 425 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,520 ...I want to be able to give them an answer. 426 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,880 This is a special military task force. 427 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:27,160 All night, we hid inside the hospital, 428 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,680 and Vladimir used the last of his radio's battery 429 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,400 to contact them. 430 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,640 This morning, they broke into 431 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,480 the surgery department to rescue us. 432 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,640 They said we were already behind enemy lines. 433 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,480 We are still wearing the scrubs 434 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,320 the doctors gave us, 435 01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:33,120 in case Russians entered the hospital that night. 436 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,320 We run, 437 01:20:51,440 --> 01:20:55,120 abandoning the doctors who have sheltered us, 438 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,760 pregnant women who had been shelled, 439 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,040 the people who live in hospital corridors 440 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,600 because they have nowhere else to go. 441 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,680 The Russians took over the hospital 442 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:05,040 a few hours after we escaped. 443 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,160 They've taken the Left Bank, 444 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,760 except the Azovstal steel factory. 445 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,120 And they are closing in on the city center. 446 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:22,240 Ukrainian forces fight back, but they are outnumbered. 447 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:29,200 The city is slowly dying like a human being. 448 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,680 On the day we escaped from the hospital, 449 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,720 the military task force moved us and Vladimir 450 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,120 to an area still under Ukrainian control. 451 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:47,720 And for days, we tried to find a way to get out of the city 452 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,240 with all the footage. 453 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:57,880 March 13th. 454 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,200 Shelling of residential areas continues. 455 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:47,920 Without any information, 456 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,560 people don't know who to blame. 457 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,680 Vladimir keeps insisting 458 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,000 we need to find a way to leave. 459 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,320 But we no longer have our van. 460 01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:50,680 It was left behind in the hospital. 461 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:56,160 And anyone who drives us with our cameras and hard drives 462 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,200 through miles of occupied territory 463 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:00,880 would be taking a risk. 464 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,560 On March 15th, our editors send us a message: 465 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,280 "Yesterday, some people were able to leave 466 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,560 "with a Red Cross convoy, 467 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,960 and there is another one leaving today." 468 01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,880 We go to the last functioning hospital in the city. 469 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,520 The Red Cross convoy has left. 470 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,960 I wish I could do more. 471 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,760 Stay longer. 472 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:21,600 But we need to leave. 473 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,080 One of the doctors tells us to follow him to the basement. 474 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,920 We need to catch up with the convoy. 475 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:17,880 Vladimir says he can try to take us with his car. 476 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,760 I tell him it's dangerous. 477 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:25,040 But he wants to help to get us and our materials out. 478 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,840 And he still hopes if the world saw everything 479 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,040 that happened in Mariupol, 480 01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:34,120 it would give at least some meaning to this horror. 481 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,240 Vladimir's car was damaged by shelling 482 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:55,760 but miraculously still runs. 483 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,000 We are with his family. 484 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,320 We make it through 100 kilometers 485 01:29:09,440 --> 01:29:14,800 of occupied territory and 15 Russian checkpoints, 486 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:18,600 cameras and hard drives hidden under seats. 487 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:25,520 By dawn, we finally catch up with the Red Cross convoy. 488 01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:52,320 Yesterday, I told one of the officers who extracted us 489 01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:56,680 from the hospital, "Thank you for saving us." 490 01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:01,960 He said, "Thank you for telling the story of this city." 491 01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:04,480 And yet, as we drive away, 492 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,600 I keep thinking about all the people 493 01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:09,640 whose tragedies will remain unknown. 494 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,120 I will see my daughters. 495 01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,920 And I can only hope that these people survive 496 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:20,080 and will be with their families, too. 497 01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,400 The total number of refugees 498 01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,720 who have fled Ukraine so far is now nearing three million. 499 01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,800 And Russians continue to strangle 500 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:41,640 and starve Mariupol. 501 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,280 Got some new video this morning 502 01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,920 of 2,000 cars that officials say managed 503 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,680 to make it out of Mariupol through a humanitarian corridor 504 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,600 that Russia did not renege on. 505 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:54,440 Devastating images are now 506 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,840 emerging from Mariupol, where the mayor says the death toll 507 01:30:56,960 --> 01:31:00,000 could be as high as 20,000 since the war began. 508 01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:06,720 Leaving people without supply lines 509 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:08,120 for food or water, without Internet connection 510 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,160 to the outside world. 511 01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,160 It was a tragedy. 512 01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,800 This woman and her unborn child later died. 513 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,120 And we know about the atrocities that have been 514 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:21,760 happening inside Mariupol because of journalists 515 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:23,680 from the Associated Press. 516 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,920 The only international reporters to remain 517 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,840 after the Russian bombardment bore witness 518 01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:32,320 to what have become indelible images of the war. 519 01:31:32,440 --> 01:31:34,400 AP reporters on the ground 520 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,680 showed the world a mass grave in Mariupol. 521 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,480 I'm talking about narrow trenches in Mariupol 522 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,800 with babies' bodies in them. 523 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,840 AP... AP journalists have been there. 524 01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,520 I've seen so many fakes. 525 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,840 Who wins the-the information war, the one who wins the war. 526 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:51,960 Do you really, truly believe this? - 527 01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:53,960 Do you truly believe what you're saying?
