the outskirts, the villages and towns of hockey region where the russians have left. he fears that there still may be mines there, so he's asking people to be cautious. but again, her give seems to be going back to some sort of normality love the robot has been cleared up from where the air strikes took place. and there's not any shelling taking place. been east of the country, the battles continue. and the authorities there say that those fights and those, those battles between the ukrainian or russian forces are very intense once an idyllic street on the edge of town. now, a giant crater, bricks and mortar ripped apart. this is all that remains after russian forces talk to the outskirts of blackmore in eastern ukraine over them with many people's hearts and souls went to building these homes. the war has destroyed so many women . but some people are glad to be alive and grateful for what they have left oh,

taking place. while they wait for casualties from the front line, we're given camouflage, for our vehicles. ah, we've just had to take over because a jet was flying overhead and we had to spread out that this is what's happening on a daily basis for even those are trying to help lunatic. there's no let up in the fighting with forced to turn back. the constant sound of heavy artillery can be heard and felt all day. and old night. i sat bake i jazeera eastern ukraine, worley i spoke to alex, have chang cough,

who lives in harkey, if he says people are slowly starting to rebuild their lives, even though they're still in danger. it was like the situation when you don't know whether you're going to wake up or not, you know, when you go to sleep in evening. so that, that wasn't, that was very scary. i think it's, it's a situation of, you know, step by step. we just, we have to get back to normal life. so somehow, you know, some day we, we, we just wish to return to normal life. and there's not a lot of like, not a lot we can do. we can't rebuild the whole city. like in a couple of months, it's gonna, it's gonna take a lot of time, but we, we're like, we can. so we might as well start to rebuild it today. so that's, that's what we're trying to do. i don't want to be under under any illusion that we

are still a fan. we can go back to normal state starting from monday. you know that that's, that's a dangerous illusion. we are still in danger every day. so to come this half hour kim young admit, covered 19, is causing great turmoil in north korea, which is now reported $42.00 deaths plus, ah, protests is out in full, strongly up support for abortion rights in the united states. ah. while the plum rains have really been doing the number on southern sections of china, hey everyone, here's the details. hong kong, over the past 24 hours, picking up 62 millimeters of rain, i think we can expect much of the same on sunday. but most of that energy dip in toward the south, moving toward the east,

the perspective of the whole and nordic and baltic c region, the security i region that we share. i think it's very important that we are making the decisions to get their finland and sweden's potential membership has been the main topic of the nato foreign minister summit to berlin, where it's being opposed by a major member of the alliance step vos and explains unified support. for ukraine, that's basically the main theme here, the foreign ministers meeting, and berlin. the big topic will be natal membership, fulfillment and sweden the application is expected to happen in the next few days. it's a big historic moment for both nations who are the neutral for, for a long time, but they now say the pollutants actions and ukraine has pushed them towards nato. with an s sad, it's a big mistake for the nations to join. nato and kremlin has already warned that will be a reaction electricity coming from russia to finland has already been caught up

today. and then there's other hitch precedent, one of 13 that he can't really response to nate to membership of the nordic nation, especially sweet and he said, has been hosting what he calls felice organizations. and he's talking about goodish work as far as the p k. k. that's why turkish people predominantly big majority of the turkish people are against the membership of those countries who are supporting a p k, k y p g, tennis organization. and they are asking us to block this membership. but these are the issues that we need to talk, of course, with our nato allies. all 30 members of nato have to approve the application. and this process is most likely take several months. and sweden mostly worried about this so called gray period when they have not got the protection of article 5, which means and the 2nd one is an attack on

very worrying. indeed, the asian football confederation says china will no longer host the 2023 asian cup football tournament because it's covered 19 outbreak. the chinese government continues to impose tough measures, including locked downs in major cities to try to curb infections. the world health organization says china 0 tolerance policy won't work long term and has called for a change in strategy. for abortion rights activists would be marching in cities across the united states. they are expressing their anger, had a leaked memo from the supreme court, which threatened to take away the constitutional right to an abortion, and a draft opinion. a major poll, a major of a majority rather of justice, is supported overturning the landmark wrote verses wade decision which legalize the procedure across the us. in congress, democrats fail to pass a vote to codify abortion rights are to republicans, voted it down. gabriel elizondo was at the march in washington,

d. c. tens of thousands of people out here in washington dc. these are all abortion rights supporters. and as you can see, the numbers are huge. we're seeing young people, old people, parents with their children are very diverse crowd here. and they have one thing in common. and if they want to keep roe v wade, they want to keep women's rights or the ability to have an abortion. and they are against the possibility that the supreme court good overturn that landmark decision of roe vs wade. a decision that's been on the enshrined in the constitution here for women to have an abortion or be allowed to for nearly 50 years now. and the crowd that we're seeing here, you can really get a sense of how there is outrage, and they're taking their message directly to the supreme court, trying to fight any change, because they feel so strongly that abortion should remain part of the constitution

. now the vibes are currently being announced to the grand final of the eurovision song contest, which is taking place in the northern italian city of ch are in, oh, they sacked was the favorite to win ukrainian folk rap band kalish orchestra. they received a wave of public support following the russian invasion in february, while adam rainy joins us live from cherry and in all the nicely we're getting dribs and drabs of information. apparently the u. k is currently in top suite. and 2nd, although those numbers are moving, but of course, a tremendous amount of attention, as i mentioned that on ukraine, how did they do well, so far, ne, they, they're doing pretty well. they're not as high as people. they might be at this point in the jury. announcement of those votes, they're hovering around 4th or 5th place, but you know, they're not out yet, and we're going to get votes from all the member countries voting in this,

this competition from the, the people themselves of fans. so that might change the calculus. what's important understand though, whether they win or lose all the attention that this band has been getting him. we spoke to some ukranian fans here in italy. they said a, when would mean of course everything for them may be like for a couple of minutes for an hour a day, quicker just to safe it with me in the loft and for me and a lot, stephanie, i turned in to you. i saw on about everyone's mom and ukraine as a mom, mom to us all and here seen and about mom the to you fighting for ah, so victory would be huge for them that victory isn't assured. we've seen that ukraine is it may be doing as well. some thought it would, but the voting is going to continue for some time whether or not they window they've really grab the attention here and grab the heart and soul of some of the

fans here. people say they love the music and they also support the country out of his sense of solidarity need. so adam led, given the way all of the voting works, could things change if they could, because these, that juries give out 12 points to their top pick in some other points other. so ukraine is still in the running in the top $45.00. that's changing moment by moment as i'm speaking to. and then once this part of the vote in tabulation is concluded, we're going to hear what people spoke, what people sent and via text, what they, what they, what they think who they voted for. and that could change the calculus because each country again gives 12 point blocks. so it's anyone's game in this top 4 or 5 spots right now. maybe there'll be a dark horse. we don't even seen those top 5 because there's still a lot of points to be counted need. and the adam, of course, we will have all our favorites, but this is a contest. this changed over the years. it's no longer purely your vision. i think

people who are not familiar with the contests will be surprised to see that australia is in the running as well. yeah. indeed. they've been competing since around 2015 out of some sense of solidarity with the eurovision area. they were one of the few countries around the world that broadcast your vision for decades. for they were invited to take part, it was seen that it would only be for a year or 2, but they keep getting asked back. so i have to say it is pretty strange to be here at your vision and see australia, thousands and thousands of kilometers below their quatre taking part here. but so far they're well like and they're going to keep coming back for some time. the. okay, adam rainy all the eccentricities and politics of your vision live for us and sure in thank you. now the world's longest suspension foot bridge has opened in the czech republic. it is, it's named sky bridge $7.00 to $1.00, which is how many meters long. the walk walkway is. it took 2 years to build at
