7:14 pm
history of our strive for our survival. on the 2nd world ward look what kremlin is saying, just listen to their words. is like the even are using the terminology that were used at the time of the 2nd world war. and this is a tragedy that the nash, nationalistic park. you went into europe, trying to destroy everything still midnight, their racing and slave, the nation sent people with and to wipe out even the name and the trace i live with. they were calling me at the find. now resolution for the jewish matter. you remember that time and here at least and what they are using those words again, the final solution but they are using now towards us the

7:16 pm
heath that sport during the 1st days of the war. if his heath, our city. oh man. see, that's maybe thousands and thousands of years. people are visiting online every year. and what have you be left off ukrainian? see this after this war. i am referring to your cards only because you feel what i'm talking about. but can you explain why you are still johnson? my do not referring not appealing to the whole world for help. yes i was even talking about jesus. what is it? are you in the friend? are you calculating? let me just double go. i will leave you the choice to give your answer to this
7:17 pm
question on this. one was quite often, the calculation is wrong and misleading. and it's the choice between the good and the val xena, for as long as the 0 knows that you are era defense is the best. the most powerful . everybody knows that you are a munition is strong, your weapon is throwing, everybody knows you are very good in fighting for your country interests for your people interests and i'm sure you can help our people to protect our life to protect life of ukrainian people live. so of ukrainian june june and lisa, nurses, beeson, i don't understand why we can't receive weapons from you. why israel does and thought dreshaun their precious doesn't join the sanctions mission . they are brothers and sisters. think about this. and we really this the replies
7:18 pm
that you will give us a to years ago and where ukrainians, where rescuing jewish people, which is why we do have rise to secure health. now people of israel, now you have your child bought a car. thank you for everything you but don't know the whole car vish mother no cream, with ne, it shall be going to go see me the team enemy. but let's say just listening there to you cleaning president for the me. lensky addressing your members of the israeli connecticut. while the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in ukraine, appealing to israelis while they are besieged, cleaning cities around the relentless russian bombardment. many the same sentiments that he made in previous speeches,
7:19 pm
but also taking some pointed criticism there of israel's position. they seeing the connecting members themselves watching and listening to this via video conference in their homes and offices. and this is a live picture of televi right now. what people are gathered to listen to this, it's not in the connect said chamber as a previous speeches that he has made to 2 other parliaments around the world because these railey parliament is currently in recess right now. until may. harry for cit has been listening to this with us. he's in western jerusalem forced harry we one of the things we noticed about his speech is that the pointed criticism there of israel's position on nationally. the fact that they've been kind of sitting on the fence and he very much tailored as he has in previous speeches tailored his speech to the audience that he is addressing. that's right. yeah. there's certainly serious commonalities between what he said to other parliaments
7:20 pm
and other politicians and other countries, and what he said here, but they're also important differences and specificities is, as you just point out, it was really pretty much a speech of, of, to hobbs. the 1st half, very much drawing on the historical paolo's as he saw them between what took place leading up to enduring the 2nd world war, the, the genocide of jews at that time, the holocaust and what was taking place now. he said what was taking place now was a war of extermination. that was getting rid of not just human life, but also ways of life and villages and an entire country. and he said that that should appeal to the hearts of the as ready, people given their own history. and he talked about the terminology that he said was cutting from the kremlin in terms of a final solution to the ukranian problem. just as the germans had talked to the
7:21 pm
nazis had talked about the final solution to the suppose a jewish problem. and as well as that, as you say those, then this very swift and strong pivot to a critical tone. not just against i sort of a generalized is ready policy, but it was a pretty specific attack as far as i was concerned. anyway, listening to it on the prime minister. natalie bennett, he said that including your leaders. what are you doing? is this indifference or is it calculation calculation? can sometimes be wrong. bennett has been extremely careful not to criticize. vladimir putin, not really even to mention russia in a lot of his discourse, almost been taking place in the last few weeks. and so there was a very direct appeal for a much stronger condemnation of russia, of, for israel to an appeal for israel to take part in the sanctions. the foreign ministers said that israel will not be i route around the sanctions,
7:22 pm
but at the same time the government has shown no sign here of actually engaging in the kind of sanctions have been taking place in, in western countries and with the very strong us packing and there was this extremely strong call as well for israeli military assistance, talking about the strength of israeli defense is of is really ornaments saying that's a israel defended itself extremely successfully as a result of its, of its weaponry. and why, why should it not at the ukrainian time of need just as ukrainian said, rescue jews during the holocaust. why should israel not come to the aid militarily of ukraine? so this is a kind of message in some ways that he's been giving in these sorts of speeches. but this was a very specific one, drawing on his own, jewish heritage, drawing on these historical power lows and being pretty bold in his criticism, the government's response. so far here, indeed, and as he said that harry, the israeli prime minister, trying to straddle this fine line of not wanting to be too critical of russia while
7:23 pm
offering tacit support for ukraine. so i'm, but i'm wondering what's the, what's the sentiment among the israeli people there is raise the spoken to their we oppose have shown a great deal of support for ukraine in fighting off this russian invasion. the, the generality of public opinion is very much in support. of ukraine, there are large ukrainian and russian emigrate populations in this country as well . but as far as the government is concerned, it is aware of that it is saying that it wants to be a mediating force and therefore, certainly from the prime minister bennet's perspective. he doesn't want to openly criticize russia. he made that unexpected sabbath visits to the kremlin to moscow
7:24 pm
just a couple of weeks ago to try to show his his, the, the f at it. and we'll behind that. but there is also self interest here as well. there is the fact that israel has a northern border, or least through the occupied go on heights has a border with syria and the russian presence in syria is extremely strong and important. israel wants to continue a certain amount of freedom of action inside syrian territory to attack uranium has been target to has been for several years now. there is a level of military chord nation with russian forces that is vital in allowing news really a force to continue to do that. so any risk to that is seen as something that would be detrimental to israeli interest to. so i think there's some very criticism of that strategy as well. coming from savanski. harry, thank you. harry for life was in west teresa l'm. that's a speech by a ukrainian president volunteer, ms. laskey addressing members of the connected,
7:25 pm
more reaction now on that to to come for sure. when i, russia says it is once again used hypersonic missiles to attack ukraine. the defense ministry saying it hit military facilities. one of the targets was reportedly an armored vehicle repair site in the town of nation. russia said it 5 cruise missiles from the black sea. in nikolai, of a fuel deco was destroyed by high precision missiles fired from the caspian sea and crimea. russia says he also destroyed military training center in all of which were foreign mercenaries are based on a smith has moved from moscow. russia's defense ministry says that it's used hypersonic missiles again for a 2nd time. there's no way of independently verifying this, but they use them to target a fuel storage site in the south of ukraine. and they launched cruise missiles from the caspian sea and the black sea at other targets in ukraine. second time they've
7:26 pm
used these hypersonic missiles. and this is what the defense ministry had to say, or is looking for the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depot, used by ukraine's armed forces near the village of constantinople of muslin. the main supplies of fuel for greens, army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss, i launched, instruct the training center good for you. green special forces were foreign mercenaries were based on now the something of an arms race going on between russia . the united states and china are over these hypersonic missiles hypersonic, meaning that can fly at 5 times the speed of sound they've never been used in a battlefield environment before as far as we know. so if it's possible to independent, confirm that russia has been using them than it's the 1st time in this environment they, they have been used and an indication, again, of really the superior military arsenal. russia has it at its disposal compared to
7:27 pm
what ukraine is having to defend itself, which is the situation now in ukraine right now. this is the territory in red's there, russia and it's separate as allies control. around 4000 people were able to escape the fighting on saturday. capturing matter you paul would establish a land bridge for russian forces between a next crimea and the separatist held the eastern region of don bass. the war ukraine has force nearly 800000 medical students to return home to india. they filed a petition in the supreme court asking the government to allow their transfer to indian colleges. susan's plan has highlighted india's lack of medical colleges as elizabeth the parent reports now from or to pradesh. the you getting the you could in in women and children watch on sharma shows videos of him and his fellow students fleeing the russian bombing of car cave. the 20 year old was in his 1st year of medical school in the east,
7:28 pm
in ukrainian city. he's one of nearly 18000 indian medical students evacuated from ukraine since the russian invasion began molest in in the apartment. plenty of begging me and government. i passed the entrance exam last year, but i didn't have enough marks to go to government college here because they cut off for climate of very high. so the better option for me was to go overseas with michael shanks just as monica an entre. but he said they were forced to study overseas, were fees much cheaper. their families says they're paying half the amount of fees in ukraine than they would. and private colleges in india, online classes have begun for the sisters and some others. but they're not ideal. or lame when it go on yankee. and the problem with online is that we need a lot of practical experience, which we aren't able to do. we are a 3rd year student and practical. it's very important and the 3rd year. so it's difficult the return of the students from ukraine is again putting the spotlight on
7:29 pm
the lack of medical colleges in india. the number of seats available for medical education in india is far less for the number of students who leave school with the hope of becoming doctors are the 1600000 who did the entrance exam last year on the $88000.00 and made it into the $562.00 medical colleges in the country, given the shortage private colleges, charge, hefty fees for the much sought after spaces and receive large donations from students, families, public health experts, blame, and lack of government investment and health care. and what they call the medical council of india's arbitrary regulations to set up colleges, whether it was a bona fide the intent to protect standards. as they said over there, it was to protect some interests of people who are running private medical colleges . i cannot really say, however, that did result in
7:30 pm
a smaller number of medical colleges and also clustering of medical colleges in the for southern states and to west and indian states. prime minister that ends from already blamed previous governments for the lack of colleges and said his administration will increase the number of students who returned from ukraine, appealed to the government to find a way for them to continue their studies at home. some health experts say it's an ideal opportunity for india to tackle the dr. shortage. elizabeth per item al jazeera, great, an order to publish. ah, it says agency, and let's get around now at a top stories ukrainian president volunteer. ms. lewinsky has appealed to israel. the help against russia, he told his ready politicians, both countries face the threat of destruction. this is not just a military oper.
