1:06 pm
it's places where russians of withdrawn from where no help has been received by the people that are have survived that russian onslaught we've been going to towns outside of churney eve of villages. and we've seen some harrowing seas. now what's happening is that the government is simply overwhelmed. the simply fought too much damage across far too wide of an area for people, for government inspectors to get there. and to try and do surveys about the damage, much less actually give people any help. and we're seeing civil society now really step up and try and help people. but even then they only have a few things that they can hand out. they rely on other people giving them aid that they can then eventually and out to the people that need it the most. now those have been talking to the mayor of cheney the says, going to take at least 4 years for the town to be repaired. he says 70 percent of it is destroyed, but that's just the center of the town in the outskirts in the villages. people
1:07 pm
have simply been ignored and now they're angry. they feel like they've been forgotten. let's take a closer look. vote on they're good to know that will know this woman like many others in a suburb of churney that feels forgotten. forgotten by her government. forgotten by the media. forgotten by aid agencies. she can't live in a home anymore. she tells us it was shelled last month by russian artillery nailer has no idea how to even tidy up, much less moved back in the living room and says that towns like boucher and her pain near the capital of received aid help and attention while hear nothing the girl was at this thing is done is not her house didn't know what
1:08 pm
happened here. i can't register the damage is the government because i don't have electricity or in there. now, if i could register perhaps they might help, but for now we just have to help ourselves 9 that in a wooden pursuit to what level gonna be it would depend on the civil administration in geneva is overwhelmed. and so community groups have stepped in to help where once they sold cause they now distribute food a while this might look like a lot of food. it will be gone in a couple of hours, leaving hundreds outside with nothing. this food distribution point operated throughout the russian onslaught. when they had food, they would open for more often than not. they had nothing today though is a good day. they have at least something to distribute. oh, really a put i. so the award though, what i see net anxious, mostly people ask for bread and water, you know,
1:09 pm
but water less now because they have running water. can food is in high demand that in fact, anything edible should is they take, thankfully say what, yes, i believe this man tells us his house was flattered by russian tanks and no one has come here to offer help. he trudges over the damage with no clue where to even begin. rebuilding. the russian president vladimir putin insist that his forces on to targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure. but the evidence against that once again is overwhelming. and in this village across a large area. and this is where some of the civilians who were also killed or buried. the authorities had to clear part of the woods to make space. these freshly dug graves all bear the same month's march 2022 will be remembered. even if those who survived feel forgotten and it's
1:10 pm
not just about those that survived. it's about those though, who trying to survive as well in places like mario pull in a car to keep in the east and towns around there. now we've heard from her the deputy prime minister here in a very shook. she's in charge of the humanitarian corridors. she's announced and humanitarian corridors articulate coming out of mario po. but this time there is a slight difference. normally, when you announce her humanitarian corridor, the ukranian authority sent bosses to try and pick up people. clearly, that's the most efficient way of getting a large number of people out of a city and to safety. however, they have been able to agree with the russians about sending buses and now what they're doing is they're saying to anybody with a private car can come out of mario paul can come out of turkey and then get to safety. however, in murray opal, there might not be that many private cars left. a city is almost completely
1:11 pm
destroyed. now this is a real concern to the ukrainian, but it's not just that every time the ukrainian say they've negotiated a deal with the russians to open humanitarian corridor. the ukrainians insist that the russians renege on that deal. and a few hours later, they start shelling in the humanitarian corridor becomes it almost impossible to operate. i will have more on that throughout the day. all right, thanks so much shem on con, there are funeral is on the way for a palestinian man who was shot dead by israeli troops during a raid in jeanine. earlier on saturday, the 24 year old belong to the military wing of his slamming. she had 13 of the palestinians were injured. these re, the army has now withdrawn from the genie, refugee camp after trying to arrest the father of the palestinian man who killed 3 people in an attack in tel aviv on 1st day. the day ibrahim is following developments from ramallah locals. tell us that large numbers of israeli

1:33 pm
the motion saying it was unconstitutional and involved foreign interference. on iran comes advice, pakistan's president dissolved, parliament fail position, challenge the order in the supreme court. but on friday the court ruled cons moved to dissolve parliament and cold snap collections was illegal. the court ordered parliament to re conveying and hold the no confident vote as get more on this now with sharon put our chaise, a journalism professor and political analysts and joins us from london. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, at this point, is there any chance do you think any sign that there's any chance that im wrong. com can survive a no confidence vote? a no because the last time position had nearly 197 members who were supporting the no confidence move. and
1:34 pm
those members also including farmers relation factors of the brand and also some it was from song party. but then this speaker gave that controversial ruling, which was a legal by the code. so if we, if we go back to the position has enough numbers, they need 172 members to support the no contract to school. so typically in ron, cannot survive, it will it is today. i, i all right, let me just get off this question then. is there any point to delay tactics? can he avoid a vote, which you say he has no chance to survive? can we be speaking? he can speak that can prolong the debate for 3 days. today is the 1st day after the good lee and you can link it on this. what the
1:35 pm
issue is, if the hotel and ron and not for my mom, but then we can, you know, speak or give you some reason a little news that speak again, disqualify you members of your position today. they seem to have 177 day. so they, they might show more people the more for produce more members, but if they had the 77 and speaker, for some reason, the clear of 5 or 7 members disqualified, then opposition. no concrete is, will, can not be, will not be successful. and then that case, there is some chance that he could survive. right. that's what it sounds like. you're saying now. if people are disqualified from palmer from the opposition for question is on what grounds the speaker do?
1:36 pm
because speaker, you know they can get it. they gave one only which was declared illegal, but they can give another ruling. and then you can go to the, to the gay in round hon. i want to prolong this crisis and he wants to mobilize public and he was looking for the military establishment on his to post support, which they have been wiping him until recently. it didn't come from the military. it didn't come from the court. so now he is relying on the street as part of a, you know, a boat protests. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much for your analysis and breaking it down for us . sure. as part of each other now versus in mexico, head to the poles. on sunday to decide the future of the president manual was over
