Global National: March 21, 2022 | Why Russia wants Ukraine city of Mariupol but no surrender coming

Ukraine is refusing to relinquish the besieged city of Mariupol to Russia. Mike Armstrong explains what Russia offered in exchange for the surrender, why the Kremlin wants Mariupol so badly, and the accusations Russian forces are committing genocide against the Ukrainians.

Ukraine's civilians are also facing new horrors every day. Redmond Shannon shows you the aftermath of a Russian missile strike on a Kyiv shopping centre, and how Russian troops occupying Kherson opened fire on pro-Ukraine protesters.

Meanwhile, NATO is facing growing calls to take a more direct role in stopping Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with the conflict in danger of devolving into a bloody stalemate. Heather Yourex-West explains what Poland is suggesting, what else NATO and its allies can do, and the new warning about what the Russian government may try next.

Plus, as the CP Rail work stoppage enters its second day, Ottawa is facing more pressure to get conductors, engineers, and train and yard workers back on the job. David Akin explains whether the federal government plans to impose back-to-work legislation, and how this dispute could affect food prices.

Ross Lord reports on this golden opportunity.
