know that there are hundreds of thousands of people still inside the city. i visited it a months ago and went into underground shelters. the metro station, for example being used people living in pretty terrifying conditions in those bunkers and they all daily attacks happening on car cave. and we understand that it is as a result of a push by russian forces form areas around car cave heading south trying to take greater control of the more territory in those eastern regions in lou ganske and don't answer this offensive. the analysts have been speaking about for a couple of weeks now. as russia concentrated its forces in those eastern regions for more than 4800000 ukrainians have fled to fighting with about 300000 of them arriving in germany. for many, it's a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis a time when berlin was criticized for not doing enough. but as domini came reports

of hope lessons. i've been learned tuesday morning and stieglitz and follow reesa and her children. it's time for breakfast as ukrainian refugees. they're currently living with a host family. the transition from walls own to berlin suburb was initially hard, but already her children are learning german and larissa says she feels this country has been very welcoming and knowing it's completely differently. dillon palmer, the government has been very supportive, they've given us money, health insurance. they've helped us a lot. we don't feel like refugees. we have the same rights as germans. it's helped to make us feel like we have a 2nd home here in the nearly 2 months since the war began. many millions of people have fled ukraine. fewer than one in 10 of them has come to germany, making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting of trains in the big cities were mostly syrian. although

the then german government said it could cope with their arrival, there were many problems once they arrived, the 1st thing was that they had to stay in master commendation, follow reception and reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found that one housing. so that was a huge challenge. the 2nd is when they come with family kids, they have to go to school. so we're integrating them into school learning the language during the day off on the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now that experience has etched itself onto the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy. you know, a bonus we get on the list, the new government has offered support on a large scale to the federal states. this has allowed us to give refugees better opportunities for integration. this is a clear message. we're doing it better, we're doing it differently. and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor.

there is another important difference between then and now the ukrainians have the right to visa free travel across much of the e. u. syrians do not. which helps to explain why most of the ukrainian refugees in europe have not come to germany. whereas most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better that might in parts be because the need for resources is being tested far less than it was back then. the dominant came houses, era, berlin, taliban authorities in the off gun capital. have some in pakistan's ambassador. it's in protest against the legit military strikes inside of going to stop by pakistani forces. local media, say the pakistani are 4th killed at these 30 people and host province, women and children are reported to be among the pakistan has denied it, carried out the strikes was followed recent fighting with the pakistani taliban now

concern about the worsening weather conditions. but now the rain seems to be limited to a drizzling many parts of the provinces and people continue to try and mock up. they continues to be situations like this where there's limited access to utilities, necessities and people are complaining that the government hasn't done enough to how people in situations like this, despite promises from the government that they're doing everything they can to help . the people affected the lead on al jazeera. it may not look like much, but underneath these sold flat lies, lithium, which is at the center of a conflict over who should own one of the sources of the biggest wealth in this country. a subdued do euro. why many don't feel like celebrating on the streets of me and mark

for croatia. we read when warnings on this very strong winds and that wintry and wet mix rolling across the balkans, bringing temperatures down very dramatically in places like bucharest in romania, 8 degrees. dramatic drop from saturday as that rain rolls in is going to get wet and windier as well for greece and turkey. we had for the west got some heavy rain from northern areas of spain, but lots of sunshine for bossa. lona. 19 degrees celsius. ah, m a big lake, a truck tourists underpins the local economy. thousands to pen a 0 well explored the major environmental issues above and below the surface. the threatened lake renders, for instance,

and the need to do something in an important mid term year. i mean, obviously, all of this has been exacerbated by, by the war and that is, you know, given another leg onto this inflation that was already building before. so, you know, this is kind of a step to try to try to alleviate that, to some degree. i don't think it's going to be all that effective, but least messaging standpoint they're, they're putting it out there is something that the bottom ministration is going to put itself in. right? which is stuck between rock and hard place of one hand, you know, leading their short term economic pressures. the other hand, pursuing the long term. you colonization priorities. i think at the moment, you know, right now if it's a world a short on supply supply of energy and really from an oil standpoint, only the only tool available if you are released 40, seen, announced and that will help to kind of cap price. and i'm a lease on the upside, but it's still going to be a very tight market for the short term. i mean, it's still going to be a lot of pressure on with high prices and pressure,

and consumers with high not just gasoline prices, but, but diesel, jeff, your other price as well. and so, you know, this, the step on opening up drilling. the says this is again, maybe a step in the right direction. but remember, it's, you know, it's 80 percent, you know, less land that was, that was initially evaluated. 50 percent higher royalty rates plus environmental and other, you know, sort of loopholes that are attached to it. so, you know, the likelihood of it, you know, actually, you know, getting a strong uptake is low. and again, it's not going to leave you short term supply pressure, and that's, that's the challenge. this with him has become one of the most thought after minerals crucial for the transition to renewable energy and use them batteries, laptops, even medication. she lays the world's 2nd largest producer and a hot spot for international mining companies, looking to cash and the lithium rush. but as our latin america, editor of the seo newman reports indigenous communities, say, mining threatens the way they live. can the lady

reserves of lithium and is 2nd only to australia in terms of total production. but late last year, when the previous government granted to new mining concessions to a chinese and a local consortium, an appeals court suspended the contract on behalf of the coin community of it. but yet oil are floating, phone, exit would impact all of the nature that we have here to do, which exists in more than 6000 hector's. we would lose more than we would gain between india. if you look, the community says more lithium minds will defeat the little water. they have easier your 2nd illegal. no one on that. if they extract the lithium from the salt flats, everything will die. i washable dry up because the water comes from the same place in, but that's not the only controversy till his new government wants to create a state own lithium company, rather than ward contracts multinationals. so that the profit to stay at home. many argue that truly should also expand to producing lithium batteries for everything

from mobile phones to electric cars, which is with the real money is that, but former deputy mining minister and got blanket warns it's not feasible. important becker than lead the battery is contained 8 percent lithium and till you would have to import the remaining 92 percent of materials. it's simply not profitable. also, it takes 10 years for a lithium mine to start giving returns on investment. while it sets up a state lithium company, the new government must determine how many more if any concessions will be awarded to multi nationals. in the meantime, if promises to the interests of local indigenous communities, 1st, a tough choice and times of economic hardship. she and human medical that chili emergency services are working off the coast of tennessee or to contain a potential environmental disaster. after a tanker sank, the zillow carrying 750 tons of diesel from egypt to malta went down after seeking

a raid sirens were sounding over over the city and we can see that seems to be eggs. this night is the busiest in terms of the, the sirens going going off. so there are some reports or for the explosions around key. however, so far, none of them are, are confirmed yet. so today in the morning at 6 am, there is a confirmation that russian so try kit a, a tank repairing the factory in queue, which is, and the eastern part of the year. and at least one person was killed and 3 injured . so recently we can see that russia is increasing, it's your attacks, me say that the long, long range and high precision me says are being a heating key year, particularly targeting this immediate to the fact that is so yesterday, another minute. the fact that was producing and repaid and miss as including the
