a sprawling steel factory in mariupol is all that remains really of ukrainian forces defending the strategic-port city. the other complex is surrounded by russian troops and is being constantly shelled but rather than storm the facility, russian president vladimir putin has ordered a blockade, even a fly can't get through -- his words. well, hundreds of men, women, and children, and unknown number of ukrainian fighters are believed to be inside without much food or water. not very far away, the grim discovery of this. more suspected mass graves. mariupol officials estimate 20,000 city residents have died, so far. many of those bodies are now believed to have been dumped in these very long trenches you can see right at the top of your screen. and despite president putin's boast of so-called liberating mariupol, ukraine denies the city has fallen. ukraine's president says it will not accept any russian' annexation of its territory. have a listen. >> translator: i want to say, straightaway annexation could only lead to a -- you will make your country as poor as russia since the civil war so it is better to seek peace now. >> well, despite the dire situation inside the azov steel factory we have been reporting for days. the ukrainian fighters there tissue well, they remain defiant. surrender does not appear to be in their vocabulary. our matt rivers has the story for you. >> we destroyed one tank today. two armored fighting vehicles and one armored personnel carrier. the number of enemy losses are still increases. >> reporter: this is ilia, an officer in the azov battalion, currently fighting for his life and others inside the besieged azovstal steel plant while he strikes a defiant tone. >> right now, ukraine not just fighting for ourself. we are fighting for the freedom. >> reporter: and yet, reality in mariupol is russia controls the mast majority of the city, apart from the last ukrainian pocket of ukrainian resistance. enough that vladimir putin felt compelled to declare victory in the first city he tried and failed to capture nearly ten years ago. completing the military task of liberating mariupol is a great achievement, he says. i congratulate you. but ukraine and its allies rejected the motion that mariupol has fallen. how can that be when the russians have yet to force out the remaining ukrainian forces? putin, seemingly a ware of this, acknowledge fighters remain in the steel plant, and essentially said no problem, just wait them out. he says there is no need to climb into these catacombs and crawl underground in industrial facilities, lock off this industrial area so a fly cannot get through. for those inside the plant, this new blockade strategy -- a sign of weakness of the russian military -- a force that has tried and failed, for weeks, to force out remaining resistance. >> russia, right now, is cowardly hesitateling with the assault, final assault, they call this because they know that they will fail, and they will fail. >> reporter: no matter whether the russians cannot, or will not, fight their way into the steel complex, the end result is the same. ukrainian fighters inside are not only responsible for themselves but for the hundreds of civilians they say are sheltering there. some seen here in unverified video from ukraine's government. >> heartbreaking thing is we have limited supplies here, and we are trying to share everything with civilians. but russia claims it will use -- we use them as -- as a human shield. it's bull [ bleep ]. it's complete bull because, you know, the real military doesn't do this. >> reporter: and even outside the steel plant in areas firmly under russian control, tens of thousands of civilians that need to be evacuated cannot. only a fraction managed to leave in the last few days. some seen here, arriving in the ukrainian city of zaporizhzhia. after ukraine says russian forces violated cease-fire agreements. >> translator: it is more like not a war but a terrorist operation by russia against mariupol and the people of the city. >> matt rivers, cnn, lviv, ukraine. well earlier on thursday, a convoy of vehicles arrived in the city of zaporizhzhia. people from the battered city of mariupol and surrounding towns really under russian' control. they looked relieved, as you can see there, to be out of the war zone by as you can imagine, anxious about what comes next. russian and ukrainian authorities, as well as aid groups have been trying to negotiate for weeks to get more people out of harm's way. the mayor says many more are desperate to leave but can't. >> translator: there are still 100,000 people in the city who for a second day in a row are waiting for evacuation and they give us just a tiny number of buses. like yesterday, they said there would be 90 buses be you only seven of them arrived. >> well, those evacuees are among the nearly 8 million internally displaced. try to get your head really around that number. 8 million displaced internally. and another 5 million people have already left ukraine to different countries, as you can see there on your map. my next guest is working to keep ahead of the changing humanitarian needs in ukraine. the u.n. refugee agency's audio ukraine representative joins me now. carolina, thanks for taking time to speak to us here today. give us a sense of the magnitude, the scales. we look at these numbers -- 5 million. the magnitude of what is unfolding in humanitarian crisis on the ground here. >> well before this war started, there were about a million internally-displaced people living in ukraine. and now, 7.7 million and 5 million as refugees, as well. it is more than a quarter of the population and this is a quarter of the population who have left their homes. their belongings, their jobs, their communities behind, and who are now in need of help in order to reestablish themselves and -- and -- and start from fresh somewhere. >> and it is almost hard to say this. i mean, i expect this would only get worse as we see that new offensive by russia. obviously, the situation on the ground that we have reported on in mariupol. >> yeah. so in these very hard-hit areas, like mariupol, donetsk, kramatorsk, kharkiv, and so on, extremely tire. we have been trying to position other partners still present in those areas but places like mariupol has just been impossible to reach. so now, our priority is to help those fleeing those areas to be received, have somewhere to stay, receive some initial assistance before they figure out where to go next. >> give us a sense of what your teams on the ground in these different places, what -- what they have been hearing and the challenges really they have been facing because this is -- this is moving so quickly. >> yeah. so one of the things they are seeing clearly is that a lot of the people are -- are very vulnerable. it is persons with disabilities, older persons, women, children, as we have heard because, also, in eastern ukraine, the majority of those or many of those left there were older persons, who are h chosen to stay behind despite continued hostilities over the years. so now, they are in, like, real need of aid. so people are asking for -- i mean, somewhere to sleep, the first few nights. but then also, in the longer-term, where are they going to live? initial assistance. there, we provide cash assistance to displace people that they use to pay some rent, food, basic needs. um, it is also act some known -- nonfood items like blanchts and hygiene items as people are just coming with a bag and moving but then the trauma is going -- is also something we hear a lot. >> we talk to you about just picked up something you said. i mean, something that struck me and struck my producer as we have been looking at this beginning of the war february 24th. the loss of the people we have seen from teams on the ground, ben wedeman, one of our correspondents today, reported this piece of this elderly lady. so many elderly, who have been left behind. you know, in -- in these shelters that really basements, i think it is fair to say, with no running water, no electricity. one old lady, she had dirt under her nails, and she couldn't comprehend or fathom what has happened to her life. i mean, hi how hard is it heari these stories? and how can you help these people to try and leave? >> so it is incredibly hard because these are people who have been living in the eastern part, close to this contact line, for the past seven-eight years where there was continuous shelling and cease-fire violations and they dhoez choez to stay there and got used to, become resilient almost against hostilities and i was in eastern ukraine just two weeks before the war started and asked many are you planning to leave? and they said no, no, we will stay. this is our home. we have lived our life here and now, they hadn't -- they hadn't expected the ferocity with which, you know, the military offensive would roll in. and now, trying to leave behind a place that they had chosen to stay despite the challenges. so, what we are trying to do is when they managed to get out, ensure that they have receptions, working closely with local authorities in places like dnipro, where people are ar arriving to to see if there is capacity people can stay. >> and you and i were talking before we came on air and i saw you were very moved by some of the stories you have opinion hearing. your team, too. you are talking of trauma. those on the ground. but also, the team that you work with. >> yeah. you -- you know,by spoke about mariupol. our colleagues didn't leave. they chose to stay behind until the situation got unbearable and they were also drinking rainwater and trying to find food to eat in the basements where they were sheltering before they could get out. yeah. and it's still affecting them and it is going to affect people for a long time. and that expectation that it -- it would be this bad this fast and have such a complete impact on people was -- was not -- i think it's teakenen everyone by shock. >> very briefly, do you think it is going to get worse? >> i think, the way things will looking, it is going oh get worse in the coming weeks. >> carolina, thank you very much and thanks for all your teams for their work. appreciate it. we are following a developing story out of the middle ante. new clashes are broengen out between israeli police and palestinians at the al aqsa mosque. the temple mount has been a violent flashpoint over the past few weeks. cnn's hadas gold zwroips me now on the line from jerusalem. so, hadas, take us through the latest. what is happening? >> reporter: once again, clashes breaking out at the temple mount and jerusalem has been experiencing violent -- violence this past week or so. but today is essentially day seven of these clarshes with these videos showing the compound, israeli police entering the compound and the group using stun grenades and tear gas. they say this fwan around 4:00 a.m. they say hundreds of people fwan throwing stones and launching some stones being thrown a toward the back of the western wall where jewish worshippers play as they are not supposed to go up to the compound to pray there. now, israelis say they were forced to use dispersions to stop the violence and there have been 31 injuries so far, 14 of bhom were taken to hospital for treatment. the rest were treated on-site. we are also seeing a tree on the compound that caught fire. big plumes of smoke. israeli police just state said in a statement itself from fireworks being launched. i today is the third friday of ramadan and also the last day of passover and this is the first i'm in at least a decade that holidays of ramadan passover, and easter all overlapped. that contributed to tension as well of several weeks and tensions and violence in israel and across the west bank for the last few weeks. there were a series of attacks in israel that killed 14 people and as a result. >> israeli military stepped up raids in the west bank. they said to target terror cells but at least a dozen palestinians have been killed as a result of -- of violence between israel y forces and palestinians in the west bank and in addition to what has been happening in jerusalem, this past week, there have been two nights where rockets were fired from gaza into israel and israeli defense forces responded to that rocketfire with what it called the most significant air strikes since that war last year, last may. israeli defense forces say they struck manufacturing plants and underground targets. keep in mind clashes like what we are seeing right now at the al aqsa mosque compound helped spark that 11-day war last year. but right now, gaza has been, despite the rocket, at least relatively quiet. doesn't seem like the militants there are gearing up for a major escalation. however, hamas have warned their quote finger is on the trigger and they want the events in jerusalem. things right now have much calmer than earlier this morning but we will continue to monitor situation at the al aqsa mosque compound. however, the israeli forces have stopped visits from jews to the al aqsa mosque compound in cordons where the previous years of ramadan, those visits stopped. i think there was a hope it would calm the situation but we have to see how the rest of the day unfolds. >> absolutely as you said, we will keep monitoring that story and speak with you in the next hour. hadas gold in jerusalem, thank you so much. next, another big story. sunday's presidential runoff in france. coming up, how one candidate got accused of being in russia's back pocket on national tv. we will have that story coming up. stay with us. ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ ["only wanna be with you" by hootie & the blowfish] discover is accepted at 99% of places in the u.s.

>> yets, you are right, kim. first of all, emmanuel macron, incumbent, refused to debate in the first round. so once they moved to the runoff stage, of course, all the attention was going to shift to that particular opportunity. and i think ultimately, well aware of the fact that any kind of a televised appearance with marine le pen was ultimately going to be a referendum on his five-year presidency. and he came out fighting to defend that record. and by doing so, and pointed oh ut his presidential, um, criteria. and in so doing, marine le pen who has struggled in the thee elections she has fought to twins convince the french electorate that she could take over and provide a genuine alternative and what emmanuel macron kept atalking her on, ultimately you end up with fear mongering, kind of alternative narrative of the french nation. and he was ultimately able to deliver a fairly strong punch when he pointed out that it is, in fact, her that people should be afraid of. and so, i think to that extent, and the fact that he came out, also, talking about green politics, reaching out supposed le across the aisle on these issues. i think he came away from that debate essentially pointing out the fact that ma le pen is not currently an alternative to a new presidency of emmanuel macron, kim. >> so, dominic, i was in france when the election kicked off. and i have to say, the -- the apathy was quite palpable, which was later quantified with the relatively low turnout. so what accounts for the apathy, especially when you consider, as you sort of pointed out there, the real contrast between the two candidates and -- and what may be at stake here? >> yeah. it is a great concern. i mean, we know of course the lesson of 200 2 where we had huge abstention rates of 28% and the mainstream political parties were displaced by the arrival of le pen's father, who made it through to the second -- to the second round and since then we have seen increasing disillusionment as mainstream political parties have weakened and disappeared. in the last election, the main-right and main-left party scored under 7%. so, we have these new parties, these new movements that are there and it is a system unlike the german electoral system, where after the -- the federal election, you get representation in public. the french system is a winner takes all. so the stakes are very high, in that regard. and although emmanuel macron came out ahead, the fact is over 70% of the french people did not vote for him and as much as the system rewards in the second round, in the runoff stage voting against a political candidate, the fact is that people do not feel represented and they are tired with the fact that, for the third time in five elections -- so in other words, for the third time in a 20-year period, they are being asked to vote against marine le pen, in other words, the far-right political candidate. and of course, the far right continue to exploit fear, disillusionment, anxiety to try and drive the vote down. we certainly saw it with the brexit vote and in the american elections when the president -- when candidate trump attacked hillary clinton. so all of these strategies are working together toward heightening disillusionment and disaffection. >> now, i wanted to ask you about a wildcard in this race. far-left candidate got maybe a surprising amount of support in the previous round. so what role might he and his supporters play, um, in this presidential contest and maybe beyond, as well? >> yeah. you are absolutely right and so what's strg that marine le pen only increased from 2017 by only 500,000. so the far-left candidate improved his -- his number of voters quite dramatically. but nevertheless, did not end up in the runoff stages because to the left, there is so much, um, discord amongst these different groups so he sees himself very much as a kingmaker and to the extent he scored almost 22% of the vote and well over 25% abstained in the first round, there is tremendous uncertainty there now. we know he's publicly called for people to not vote for marine le pen but that is a big difference between that and actually voting for emmanuel macron. the polls show more people will vet for macron than le pen out of that particular group but i think as we move out of the second rounds, toward the legislative elections, it is going to be interesting to see how french voters go about recalibrating and rebalancing the power between the office of the presidency, and the parliament in terms of how they vote and i think to that extent, the turnout on sunday is going to be important, and -- and will determine in many ways, what kind of presidency we will be looking forward over the next few years and how legislators will work out, kim. >> yeah, absolutely. we will be watching so much at stake. dominic thomas in paris. thank you so much. and on this, a programming note. french voters, as we mentioned, will go to the polls on sunday for the second and final round of voting in the presidential election. so, join us sunday 8:00 p.m. paris time, 2:00 p.m. eastern, for our special-live coverage of the french elections right here on cnn. well, many are trapped in eastern ukraine, as russia intensifies fighting in that region. up next, one man's brave mission to save those who so desperately want to escape. stay with us. rioritize the moments that are important to you. and see them alongside your full financial picture. the e big ones. the ones that really matter. balance your investment mix, stay on track, and make changes... all for free. the little stuff?

civilians are huddled in a steel factory in the battered city of mariupol. it is believed to be the last pocket of resistance. the plant's owner says there was plenty of food, as well as water, but it won't last forever. russia claims it has captured mariupol. however, with no proof u.s. president joe biden calls that questionable. well, those, mean while, satellite images show the russia's efforts to take over mariupol. photos, as you can see there, appear to show mass graves along a side road near there. president biden announced another $800 million in military aid will be heading to ukraine and those weapons' shipments include howitzer canons, 144,000 artillery rounds, and a type of attack drone the pentagon tailored to ukraine's needs. while many have been forced to flee, as russia intensifies its campaign in eastern ukraine, for those desperate to escape, it is almost impossible really to avoid coming under fire. but one brave ukrainian's willing to face that danger, and risk his life to help them evacuate. more now from cnn's clarissa ward. >> it is a road few are willing to take anymore. but every day, volunteer alexander makes the dangerous drive towards russian forces in his hometown to rescue fellow residents from the heavy fighting. they shell everything, he tells us -- school bus, the red cross, anything that moves. >> reporter: so why do you do this work? >> i love my town, and i can't leave it, he says. i can't leave the people here. somebody needs to help people. he is hoping the rain provides some letup in the relentless artillery. it is better for us but it's worse for the road, he says. you can't see the potholes and the shrapnel from the shells. he awries at the village on the outskirts. in the last few days, it has come under heavy shelling. anatoli is now being evacuated with his son vladimir. neighbor shouts at us to show what the russians have done. those who stay here are now completely cut off from basic services. so there is no electricity here, no water, at all, and you can see, they are actually collecting rainwater. it is time for anna and vladimir to go. their entire life, now packed into the trunk of alexander's car. leaving the village, we spot a house destroyed by shelling. as we get out to take a closer look, a tearful gillina emerges. she tells us it happened two days earlier. the first hit was at 5 :50 and then there was a second hit, she says, and that hit my garage. she takes us around what remains of her home. the steady thuds of artillery can still be heard. >> the roof is completely destroyed. >> reporter: this is where the first shell hit, she says. she had just woken up, and was lying in her bed when this happened. we have nothing left, she says. in the living room, she takes down the drapes that were hung to hide any light. this is how we tried to mask ourself, she tells us. there is no need for them anymore. she and her husband still don't want to leave their home. but she understands that russia's offensive here social security has only just begun, and it is going to get much worse. >> i lived until 60, and now i have lost everything, she says. honestly, i have no words. for those who do leave, there are few good options. alexander takes them to a dormitory in the nearby town. they can stay five days for free. after that, it's up to them. in the next-door bed, another couple rescued by al dander tell us there is nothing left of their home but they didn't blame president putin. thank you, america, she says. >> it's a horror. it is a nightmare. >> reporter: so it's interesting. she is saying that she theys that russia actually wanted to negotiate here. and she blames america, primarily, for this war. >> reporter: putin wants to find a peaceful solution, her husband tells us. please tdon't tell this bullshi to the whole world, alexander says. it is not an uncommon view in these parts of eastern ukraine, making the situation here all the more complex. alexander says he evacuates anyone, whatever their political views. he knows there are still so many out there who need his help. clarissa ward, cnn, ukraine. and i will be back at the top of the

delhi. johnson is on a trip to india that downing says will seal two-way investment deals worth more than a billion u.s. dollars. but an unforced error is dogging his trip abroad. boris johnson facing heavy criticism after he climbed onto a bulldozer while touring a jcb factory just a day after the same type of machinery was used to destroy homes and businesses in a predominantly muslim area of new delhi. in the u.s., starting friday, masks will once again required on public trants port on los angeles county. heal health officials cited ctc guidance striking down a mask mandate on mass transportation. meanwhile, about 40% of u.s. covid deaths in january and february were among people who had been vaccinated. that is according to a cnn' analysis of cdc data so february data shows the risk of dying from covid was still ten-times higher for the unvaccinated. shanghai reported 11 covid deaths on thursday. that brings the death toll to 36 in the latest outbreak-let local officials recorded more than 11,000, bringing the total infections to nearly 450,000, but some will raising questions about the authenticity of government statistics. they say shanghai's death variant is a lot lower than other countries and frustrations are boiling over, as residents have been on lockdown for weeks with no clear end in sight. david culver has details. >> reporter: test positive for covid-19 in shanghai, and chinese officials want you out of your home and sent to a government-quarantine facility, assuming there is space. >> there is nowhere for them to send me. i am not allowed to go in the hospital and i have to stay here. >> reporter: american josh vaughn taken in early april to a pop-up tent outside a shanghai hospital. >> this is supposed to be like a nice hospital and this -- this is where i was sleeping tonight. >> reporter: china's zero-covid policy requires every positive case and close contact to be isolated in the city inundated with an omic roin-fueled surge that began in early march, that has been a scramble to build makeshift isolation centers. the government evicting some residents from their homes, so their apartments can be turned into quarantine facilities. people living in mainland china's most international city, frustrated by the city's admittedly mangled and chaotic execution of mass lockdown efforts. for ex-pats, it is even more difficult. >> about 12 days ago, there is no way i am still positive. >> reporter: this recording widely shared on social media, appearing to capture the agitation one german resident experienced with a shanghai local official, who called to apparently take him to quarantine for a second time. >> i have been in the camp already. they didn't want me. they send me back home. it is a disgrace four, for the government, for shanghai, for china. it's a really big joke so get the cdc, come here take a test. i will be negative and then we we can talk. >> reporter: others left in covid limbo. >> the only way i can open my door and to call may community and have them receive food because actually that is only way we can get food from outside. >> gabriel who asked we only use his first name fearing repercussions spoke to his from his sealed apartment. he said officials told him his results were abnormal, never confirming he actually had covid. a covid guard pocketed to keep him from leaving. >> it feels they don't know what to do with foreigners or their system is not really working with foreigners. >> china's gateway to the world, shanghai, was widely views as a foreign-froendly metropolis. and even now, the financial hub trying to promote itself as a leading destination for foreign talent. but after nearly a month of harsh lockdown measures, and more than two years of relentless border controls, more and more foreign nationals are great to get out. >> especially, for us international people, it feel like different city like we are going back in time basically. >> reporter: in online chat groups, we found dozens of over ex-pats trying to leave. one person writing china used to have it all. it is just not the ex-pat friend hi place it used to be. this person saying the first four and a half years were just incredible. shanghai just isn't the same anymore. but josh vaughn has got too much invested in his company. >> i worked so hard on this. i put everything i have preparing myself for this season and it is almost like a make us or break us moment. >> shaping shanghai's future, leavening holes increasingly frustrated and fatigued and ex-pats preparing their exit. david
