they, her every step of the way is be coordinated by the you and the red cross in the russians. the russians have vetted every single one of the we think it's a $156.00 people on the convoy. they wanted to make sure that only women and children would be going on this convoy and men who were not of fighting age. there will be no one or fight th, in this convoy. they will have been left behind and at the still works. so if we say there's a $150.00 or at least a 100 have come from the still works, it was estimated that there were a 1000 civilians there. 100 of no less. so we can say that is $900.00 and it's still at the still works as well as the at servicemen who have been fighting and, and we've got what is it something like, just over 50 civilians who've also being picked up in that was in later negotiation as a harder, i think we've got a re establish contact with, you know, tell us more about what you're seeing. well, i'm just saying we're going to take your round here in the middle of the buses because we did see some children waiting to get off with just at the moment when t

and the red cross. many had been evacuated from the bombed out azovstal steel plant. others are still trapped inside that sprawling industrial complex that has been under relentless attack. according too of officials fromh sides, officials have launched a fresh round of attacks on the plant. a ukrainian commander inside azovstal says they have been under constant fire and at least two civilians sheltering in a bunker were killed during those attacks. nick paton walsh was there when evacuees from the steel plant began arriving in zaporizhzhia and he spoke with two women about some of the horrors they endured while trapped underground. >> reporter: five buses only, but within them, the world's hopes of a way to deliver innocent ukrainians to safety from russia's onslaught. the first to leave the basement of azovstal bringing with them stories of the circle of hell they lived in underground for weeks. this is olga. after two months in the dark, she struggles in sunlight still. i ask if she can see okay. bad, she says. i can't see anything in the sun. age 78, and she keep

cross and u.n. out of the steel plant, where are those buses now? >> yeah, it is a cob confusing picture. we have seen news agencies and russian ministry of defense, the convoy very much matching the one that left mariupol bht led cross was in russian-held territorial more to the east of mariupol than you would expect. maybe they took the securest route. that is entirely possible. i think it is fair to say, a series of tents this and there appear to have been some sort of u. in personnel there as well. we are told that convoy has been moving through russian-held villages on its way to ukrainian-held territory and the possibly they have to stop overnight. look. it is -- i have to tell you -- not entirely clear exactly the progress they have made. t there were hopes they would reach ukrainian-held zaporizhzhia later today. and now. >> think everyone is talking about tomorrow morning, possibly the middle of tomorrow. is it t does keep moving way from us, that particular moment. and that is of course ut

and international red cross have arrived in the vicinity of the steelworks. we do know that a number of civilians did come out a yesterday saturday, up to 20 of them. we don't have any figures about how many did come out today if any at all or do you. and at this point is not giving any details, but it is saying that the operation is continuing. it takes a lot of work. it takes a lot of coordination between the ukrainian side and the russian side, a lot of mediation and a lot of vetting of those who are coming out. so this is going to be a lengthy operation that can take a few days. we probably, at some point going to start seeing a buses arriving here in the upper regis about a 3 hour drive under normal circumstances that may be much longer because of the current situation on the ground. but certainly it is a very delicate air evacuation that do you and, and the red cross a handling and they're trying to give as little detail as possible. but they are saying it is continuing and at the moment seem it's things seem to be going as smooth as it's possible in a
