i know some legs, the damage likely to affect next year's harvest as well. 6 months of to range of rain fell in a span of 36 hours before that. the concern here was drought and destroyed. it was so dry that went back to rancho down for came. it couldn't absorb the advancing against the russian troops, ukraine's president says a counter offensive is underway in the east the serial then. yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is elsa 0 life from the also coming up yet another ceasefire incident that people hope will hold and help them get desperately need today. the challenges and trauma for columbia and children who were

be talking about our counter offensive. yeah, it's important that russia should feel all ways that it's not a long way ahead of us to counter offensive and defensive actions all taking place in ukraine. i will not speak about which phase the in, but i would not trust various telegram channels about it all in particular puts in a case study, showing a whole is reporting on this from keith jonah, so this counts are offensive, officially has begun. ukraine has not said military goals publicly for this operation. do you have a sense of what they are aiming for? oh, no, frankly, other than that, this is a long planned operation, months and months. in fact, in the planning with the intention simply of doing everything, they can the ukrainians with all the weaponry they could muster. and the new forces they've been able to train up to free up uh as much occupied to surgery as they

possibly can. and turn the tables on the battlefield. i think the important thing to remember here is we don't know the plan. we are not going to be told. the plan that you find needs to be an extremely explicit about that they will not be providing a running commentary. they will be very key to maintain what they kind of operational secrecy and indeed the element of surprise on the battlefield. and we, and everyone else is simply going to have to wait and see what could be a. busy grinding campaign. so we need to be transparent with our viewers. we don't know what the plan is, but what, you know, i know you and our team, we're going to be looking at all the military reports, all the information coming from the field every day. what are the key areas that you're looking at? what would make you say this? here is a significant development in this counter offensive? are there all sorts of speculations and theories about among military analysts in terms of what the

ukrainians may be trying to achieve in terms of the counter offensive we've seen in the early stages these last few days, 2 particular points of attack, one has been in the east, around the city of back loot that place. the see, you know, the longest running and most by the bottle and bottles of the war. so father has become so symbolic to both sides captured by the russians. just last month. few paintings of be making incremental advances towards villages in the close vicinity of fact mood apparently to try and circle it. clearly if they were able to do that or to arrest back control or back move, that would be a huge symbolic victory. and then very important breakthrough further south is that for easy region, the beam reports from the russian side not confronted by the ukrainians in the last few days of attempts to break through defensive lines, the possibly with the intention. and this would be actually a goal, potentially off the counter offensive of breaking through

a cutting supply lines. russian supply lines to the style. so all the way down to the sea, of as all, try and break the land border that exists now to try me split 2 sets of russian forces and make it break through that way. that would be actually objective potentially of the country offensive. that is where we should be looking to progress apart from that, that could be any number of untold designs at play. that could be attempts to confuse that to set the russians of god to send them in different directions. these are things we said we don't know about, and we'll have to wait as a site along with everybody else else. watch, wait and see. absolutely don't and look. thank you very much. that's really helpful going forward and how we're going to look at and understand the information coming from the battlefield. thank you very much. daniel hawkins is a journalist based in moscow. he says there are differing reports on the latest round of fighting a happy contradictory claims about what's going on in best smooth the exciting side

saying they've succeeded in pushing buffering forces away from the flanks all the other by whole city, the russian side saying those offensive have failed and the attacks have been repelled. interesting. it will correspondence here in russia. rules are commented on the fact of clinging forces using that more advanced equipment to the advantage that includes stuff like at mike lights, that optics, some labels and goals which enabled them to fund these battles. launch these attacks puts you much, 247, and that's something apparently which the russian army lacks something body of food and commented on yesterday, saying these issues do exist, but that being rectified, those issues are being addressed. the russians do have an arrow as well as the using that don't want it's in the skies the loan strikes. they say on come on the centers on a munition supply line to be just 6 lines. way behind the front lines targeting these, you're putting the photos into kind of give a counseling as opposed to trying to disrupt this offensive before it's really

taken full and taken hold. funny, i think it's clear and the coming hours and days is going to be an intensification in these buffaloes, especially on the southern front. as you come in, forces look to probe, the russian defense isn't fun, weeks pulse. and the russian army looks to begin and keep those positions. they've been in french thing over the past week, some months before, but tennessee, the old senior counter offensive over the road. and i think we'll get more information on that as it comes in over the coming hours and days. the 24 hour ceasefire is now in place in sedan, the army and parent military rapids. the board forces have been fighting since mid april. this is the 8th troops that has come into effect the united states and saudi arabia broken this deal, it is meant to allow the safe delivery of humanitarian aid. but previous east buyers have failed to stop much of the fighting him. but morgan has more from him, dorman, across the river, from cartoon. many people who we spoke to in various parts of the capital, say,

this is the quietest day since the fighting started on april 15th. now people say that they were not able to hear heavy artillery, that they were still wrapping gunfire in parts of the capital. but they say it does not seem to be fighting between the rapids support forces. and this is denise army, and they say it's most likely individuals firing guns. so the ceasefire up until this point seems to be holding. now let's look at how it came about. x was mediated by the united states and saudi arabia, not the 1st. there was another seas fired that was mediated set to last for 7 days and then extended for another 5 days. now in their statements before the ceasefire came into fact, both said that they were frustrated that previous these fires were violated by both sides, the sudanese army and the permanency rapid support forces. but it is a lot at stake when it comes to this current 24 hour ceasefire. and that's the talk . instead the, they made it very clear. the mediators made it very clear that should the 2 sides

violate this current ceasefire, then talks into the will be suspended, and there will be no initiative by both this business idea review and to the united states to try to end this conflict between the rapid support forces and the sit in these army 8 organizations say a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in the capital of sedans, west or for region medicine, food and water supplies, and l. janina. of run out. there is concerned that the funding could spread to other parts of the area including neighboring shad, same mr. avi has more from audrey in eastern chat. what we are seeing is a constant stream of trickles, but a constant trickle of people that are trying to get out. they say they are risking their lives just to try to escape the war. they face beatings, they're having to pay bribes. that makes shift check points being set up by malicious, but those that do make it across the board or in, audrey end up in places like this. everyone at this mix shift can an impromptu set

up here outside, just on the outskirts of the town of andre. this is a camp where everyone here is from all janina. there's probably a 100150 people here. there's 2 or 3 more. can select this around the town, those that live here, say there's upwards of 2000 people living like this around andre simply sh here. waiting for help. we've spoken to people who say they've been separated from their families, that they're going around the different and campus trying to find the people that they were separated from when bullet started flying as they were fling, they ran from hales of gunfire. is how people here describe what happened. we've seen people with injuries with wounds. we've seen children exhibiting signs of serious mal nutrition. and what do we have heard is that they are still waiting for help. one woman spoke who spoke to a said that her children hadn't eaten in 3 days. so the situation here is incredibly serious. it is incredibly dire,

and it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. authorities in columbia found for children who spent more than 40 days stranded in the amazon rain forest. the eldest sibling is 13 the youngest just one year old. they are from the we talked to indigenous group and they went missing after their plane crashed early last month. the accident happened in the town of solano in the southern protective province. rescuers found them about 8 kilometers west of the wreckage site, alexandra renfield. c. as in boy without a sunroof or what are you finding out about how these 4 children survived alone in the jungle for more than a month? yes sir, let me start just saying that it's an extraordinary achievement that they've been able to do that to survive for so long in the jungle. we still don't know the details of what they've done each day, but we understand that they one of the main food that they have access to was that

what they call study now, which is essentially a ser, i got to solve a flower that has been long used in the amazon not by a parent and set for a for, for their children. they had the little sash of that on the, on the plane that crashed to and they use that the 1st few days. then we understand that that products was part of the survival kits that they cologne getting military essentially. and they throughout true and to the jungle. hundreds of the survival kits. by the way, the board thrown over the jungle from alley comp stairs. and we understand that some of them were found by these children because the rescue themes then found them open uh fruits asked heathen and so forth. another issue. another reason definitely is the fact that they are indigenous to children from a traditional we thought the community they know the jungle. they are used to the

jungle, their parents, their grandparents thought them of how to take advantage of what the jungle has to offer in terms of food being at seeds being efficient and the rivers are or, or being fruits. now we haven't been able to talk through them directly, but these are essentially the 1st, the information that we got from both some of the relatives that spoke through journalist sierra outside of the central military hospital where they are now being under control of a number of different doctors they are looking at is that their medical and psychological conditions. what did their relative say if anything about how the children are doing now? look, and we were able to see this from the pictures that were also released on

friday. they are obviously weak in math. ca does by all these days in the jungling park. take care. the baby that turned a one year old during the time that they went missing and the jungle are off through, obviously suffering from malnutrition. we are waiting on a, on a doctor to come out and tell us more about the condition of each of them. what we understand is that this could be a long time in the hospital. they're one of their relatives said that it could be as long as a month. also we know that presidents gustavo fans that are just arrived here at the hospital at minutes ago. so maybe he'll also come out and we'll give us more details of their conditions. but everybody here is extremely happy that they are getting the best possible medical treatment then that they manage to survive. yeah, absolutely. when you find out anything,
