the people in young guns and sign the since the military coup prices on public transport double services. the building was the one sick to is booming. this year the ministry of agriculture seems to run a $1000000000.00 for rice exports a nation. well, when in full people didn't have enough to eat, sending food over seas, the government revenue the saving lives on the battlefields. we report from the hospital near the front lines in ukraine, emetics as close as possible to the ongoing fine. the color that i'm associated, hey, this is out of your life. also coming up to you as president wraps up amazing in finland. the nordic lead is region has become much more important and they started

because as a war and you create you and accuse us through don's power minutes, the rapids support forces not because in the west of full regions of the mass graves is found, no lights, no cameras, no action. hollywood on the brink of a shop down with the rest of the on the front lines of the ukraine, conflicts the harsh realities of will continue. every day. russian forces took control of the east and ukrainian town of buck was now back in may. since launching it's counter offensive though you claims as it's been raining some ground bought at a high cost us and that reports now from the field hospital near voc look and a warning. some of us may find some pictures and this report on the session. this is the unseen face of ukraine's country offensive. the men and women who are

sacrificing their lives for every inch of land. but with it comes the risk, the soldier step time and then mind, medics don't have a lot of time to stabilize him. he's colleagues on the back of the field. money should stop the bleeding, but he still needs attention before he can be taken to a proper hospital. even though these metrics with saves lives, the only life constant. as close as it could possibly be to the front line with the back to going on with a run in the next room, another patient is protein with the track when students face the sound of constant firing and showing can be heard. the vibration of the strikes felt through act. this hospital were not allowed to reveal the location, except if it's close to the eastern city of baltimore, russian forces to control of it in may. the ukrainian ministry is trying to get to . the soldier is now stable. he's lost his foot, but he's a life. during moments of shortly, quite medics arrest and wait for the next set of casualties. hardly be difficult to

do to get training before medics manual if those injured survive. one of the issues is the enemy use and type personal minds to take a long time after the victory, at least 10 years for us to clear those mind. you may have a lot of the equipment and supplies is donated, share and i mean that it's also volunteers to do the most difficult thing is that we have very short on time here. if they are in the critical state, seconds matter, it determines whether they live or die. the most shocking thing is when you have soldiers with no arms or legs, they ask, when will i be able to fight again for everyone involved, it's a risky task. the road in and out is on a dead track through winding fields or the other routes are within sight of russian forces and easily hit. even those leaving the fields, hospice that have to be transported quickly so they don't come into fire. the hospital only moves location if the front lines move further away, but with intense lighting taking place and no real change. these magics expect just

that the feel of casualties that speak to us are back. you joins us now from kind of task. i said, it really doesn't sound like that counter offensive has been going to plan. but not really. the presence of lensky himself has said that it's slower than to initially hoped. and that's because the russians have been preparing for it. it's not like last year when ukraine back to that country offensive, and took swathes of territory from the russians. this time, the russians that dug into in the trenches, they've been waiting for it. the ukrainians have been talking about this country offensive for a while. people have been expecting it, so it's not going as planned as you said. but the heads of the eastern miniature command here in the east of the country has said that the ukrainian troops have had partial success on the southern flanks of buttonwood, and have the strategic initiative there. but you also said that multiple forces are putting up unbelievable resistance that the russian forces had tried to push forward just north of here in the mind and comprehensive,

but they haven't been successful now. the, the ukrainians up pushing is very difficult to corroborate this in terms of gains in this they, they bring us take advantage of our time that we can actually go and see the fighting is so intense. it's very difficult to get right up to that front. find is very, very dangerous, but the ukrainians off saying that they're making some more advances the sofa. the front lines remains the same, but also at the same time, the russian, the russian forces also pushing back this, trying to, they're trying to take back territory. you're trying to gain more treasury, try to push those ukranian front lines, but at the moment those front lines remain unchanged. i said, given that the slow us and hopeful progress from the ukranian side and what you've been seeing that on the front lines with troops, how's morale looking us? surprisingly high. in fact, whenever we speak to troops, they believe that they come in this they, whether that's realistic or not to the different method. when we speak to the truth,

no matter how difficult it is, they believe they can win this. they say that they need more weapons, they believe to have more munition that they could start taking back more territory when you speak to them to say, well, for every show we find the ukrainians. russians fight at 10 back. and there's also the fact here, the east that the russians have a real superiority. and part of the thinking is the reason why russia keeps following me. saw the other cities across the ukraine is to keep those. a defense is busy. so those a different is caught me move to the east, have to give to challenge the security that russia has. and for example, keith has been hit 3 consecutive days with drones and ms. thoughts. but when you speak to the troops, yeah, them a ralph is quite, they believe they are. when this, if they have the means to do so. and what they're asking for is munitions and weapons love, which the now guessing from nato acid bag, the, with the laces for us from kind of to ask. thank you us. the keys mess says the canyon capital was hit by

a 3rd straight night of russian. it strikes on wednesday with ours used as a 20 rainy and may drones and to cruise missiles with shut down by the armies. edison systems, debris from those grounds, drones damaged buildings and also starts with fires in several areas for the pride reports now from the ukrainian capital. people across key will work and they are the hours of thursday morning by a series of explosions with debris being reported in damage and around 4 districts across the city. this is one of them is close to the center of the city. debris felt around this apartment complex, it set fire to at least one apartment blasted in the front of the glass windows and many others. and there's also damage to some of the out houses here. and the emergency services have been here since the early hours and people are still a clearing up the all star teaser reporting that it around 20 and rain you and made shy head drones with fired at ukraine across the country open. i told so 2 crews

besides, a being reported on one is scanned the ballistic missile. and this is now the 3rd straight night to drone the tax on the capital city. me, it is terrible and it wasn't like this before. i was born into. this is my c 2. it's hard to see people picking up the children and just running president. one of them is that lensky has returned to ukraine. if he's disappointed by the outcome of the nato summit. he certainly hasn't shown it to saying that for the 1st time since ukraine's independence, they now have some security guarantees. i'm the, i'm the give it to you about whether or not ukraine will one day become a member of nato. he says has been removed, ending with the update message that one day we will be members update sir rob mcbride, i'll just era chief. the moscow has dismissed an army. come on de. meanwhile, off the he criticized the military leadership of failing troops and ukraine. major general, even pop of come onto the 58th combined alms army,

and you kinds of provisional regions. he's one of the most senior officers who have taken part in the war on ukraine. meanwhile, us presidents are biding and has been meeting with the leaders from several nordic countries and then in this capital 5 minute visit follows. this week's annual nature assumption that you went in finance as joins the military lines. the cs weaving is expected to do the same shortly. diplomatic edited james bay, as reports not from helsinki. the president biden slew straight here to helsinki from the nato summit. in lithuania, the white house believes was a success, presidency. lensky, maybe not happy. you didn't receive a more exact timeline, please country's membership at the alliance, but he was praising us leadership. many allies may privately feel this squash about buttons decision to send costs of munitions to ukraine, but they didn't raise their objections publicly. and the biggest breakthrough appears to be in persuading took his present. oh, the one to drop his opposition to sweden's and they took membership. and that's why

this 2nd summit in helsinki with the 5 nordic nations is important. the security situation in this region has been transformed. it's not just sweet and finland became nato's 31st member. 3 months ago. is a country with a 1300 kilometer border with russia. and with a large and capable military, with expertise in winter. we just finished historic nato summit and i think it was historic where we welcome friendly succession to nato and reach an agreement to move forward on sweden's membership. and they know, and it was a reminder that the nation is around the table and not only share a common history, but we shared common challenges. and i would add for some sicily, common values this. so it's not just about ukraine. all of these are up to take nations and nato was worried about russia and to an extent about china because of climate change areas that in the past,

what inaccessible bus on land and sea could become part of a future battlefield. this summit would have been keenly watched in moscow. it was held in the presidential palace that was once russia's c to power when it ruled finland into the 1917 revolution. it's the same building with president putin met president trump 5 years ago. but now in this part of the world, russia finds itself very much on the outside looking in james bays, which is 0. helsinki as well. yeah, i spoke to ya, natal us, he is the ceo, the finished multi at the sorry piece foundation. and also a form of finished diploma explains the changing attitudes in the region towards russia that russia had said that they are well at the nature of the day on the well, we need to, they are well with you create that is very clear. it's a rental vehicle level that's a different. it's a different situation. then in, in the real award situation, i think the enlargement of nato cleared,

creates and most ability and glory deep in the region. and i think in those terms it is, it is very clear. if it is a decision or the decision and fill up to join, the nato was very clearly multi bated by, by southern changed in the russian policy as the day and talk to ukraine. i think there was, there was a very strong fear in the field. one ending suite and uh, what would be, uh, what would be the attendance of the russian foreign policy since and suites have thoughts for the case that they can deal with russia and they can go shave and they have the diplomat diplomat. see just for yourself, keep them i think relation to your was now it seems to be quite difficult to do is when you, when the car is around the window where the countries of the horse with a name, another name, comments we have neighbors as so we haven't had a long and very complex history with russia, with the periods of uh oh, yeah, of time. so the cultural and economic independence and then a very bloody was like 70 years ago. we to work at right now. the situation is like

a neighbors. if you have a sweetheart from the report, a very long board over the russia, so there is a lot of activity always over such a long border. but at the same time, there is much less activity and connections over the border know off the rest of the tech, to uh, to you. great. it's the u. n. says a mass graves containing at least 87 bodies has been discovered in students west all for region. the victims were fortunately, members, the muscle, each ethnic minority group view and human rights office, condemned the killings and said it had credible information that the rapid support forces were responsible. the recess time. and let's see, group is fighting the army for control and a student in all egypt is hosting the leaders of students name is to discuss ways the ends of the conflicts. but the warring student inspections themselves have not been invited. egyptian president of the federal cc is hosting the leaders of ethiopia, south through don, tried eritrea, olivia and the central african republic. that's trying to come up with ways to

bring peace to sit on revising, which began in mid april. has the space more than 2400000 people and more than 700000 of them have crossed into neighboring countries. is there any forces have a rest of 15 palestinians from separate areas and the occupied westbank. the palestinian prisoners club says the furthest on the village of cuba, west of ramallah unrated, a number of homes or the detainees have been transferred to detention center for judges. been released showing authorization. and the final test, the intercontinental ballistic missile was detected office eastern coast in the see if time on wednesday launch was condemned by south korea, japan. and the us with the white house saying, such actions receive stabilizer also had here on out of here fast the rises. now axes could be joining the strikes, threatening to grind hollywood production to homes. and then the curious rising

europe could see its hottest temperature ever this week. populations from the, [000:00:00;00] the route to you by visit capital. hello. still some very heavy, right? making its way across the korean peninsula. big bad. the cloud head. this is the my, you frontier tools that will bring some really heavy right across the yellow sea into south korea eventually making his way into japan. i looked at, but widespread, heavy down pulls that will cause flash flooding. it will cause some problems as we go through the next couple of days, pushing further north. what's an east with northern positive japan? seeing the west of the right as we go into whether we can see some very heavy down pulls coming through at that stage. take

a so the full sales just generally try 30 full sales this in shanghai generally, where we have good dry weather down to the south of that just know through some went by the to pushing its way towards the southern chart or is it going to be already part of next week at the moment, this looks like just ohms is moving across the northern parts of the philippines. developing area of light pressure here. and you see how it becomes a little more organized as it pushes into the south china sea pushing towards southern china. lots of organized right across across the south asia, heavy as down pools on the monsoon right now, right off the western got central areas, still seeing some lobby down post orange warnings as opposed to read in place. but the, which is why the why suspect to be to the northeast one with this thing, some lobby shows along with the fund or the west of man by of the quote to you by visit cuts on time tom pushing today. cheese fun. when we talk you entries, the thing for my present and illuminate our thoughts. our people see these these

for themselves and make up their own minds to sweden. this become a thing to turn your back against announcing groundbreaking stories from award winning so make etc, in order to win and from conflict. it's a motor official mentoring with conflict, which is on the jersey. the, the the welcome back to watching else is 0 on the sounds you take it and uh huh. let's remind you that top story keeps mess as russian as strikes have targets of ukrainian capital for that straight sites with ours used as a 20 a range and made roads and to cruise themselves with shut down by the armies as

defensive. you as president or biden is about to leave helsinki off the summit with regionally dispatch and follows. this week's annual nature, amazing and waning finland joins the lines this year. and sweden, as will say, are likely to join the egypt is hosting the leaders of 2 dogs. neighbors to discuss waste and complex, but the more in certain inspections themselves have not been invited. adoption president of the federal cc is hosting the leaders of ethiopia south to don chad or tran. nivia on the central well go. smaller election has been thrown into disarray. data for quote, certified the results of the june presidential election on wednesday, 5 minutes earlier. the attorney general's office suspended bernardo out of all those to me. a policy which came in 2nd place and announcements has turned out on auto dollars candidacy for the 2nd round, advising in august, while that speak to manual romfolo, he joins us now from next thursday. the money is we've been saying these elections

have been pretty confusing. just the last 24 hours and cost them all i have in k allstate, so to speak. can you bring us up to speed with what's going on as a lot of what's happened in the last 24 hours? is chaotic and confusing even for those of us that have been following closely. for a bit of context. we should note that the general elections and in guatemala were being viewed with significant skepticism even before the general election on june 25th of domestic observers. in guatemala. had condemned irregularities and inconsistencies with the registration process. probably the most concerning aspect of the whole thing was the blocking of candidates to the 3 candidates, specifically that were prevented from participating in the election. the 2 candidates that emerged from that 1st round a vote of voting, but i'm out of the idea of i know from the progressive send me yeah, party and send that out. the door is of the right wing. we need that and that's united and the experience of party from the very beginning,

right after that 1st round of voting, that were legal challenges, specifically against the send me a party and their candidate, but not of the idea of a little after after that 1st round of voting, which really created this tension and, and, and environment of, of, of tension has been the fact that the supreme court in guatemala has delayed on certifying the official results of the general election delayed, certifying the 2 candidates that emerge from the june 25th 1st round of voting. so again, this is where we are leading up until wednesday yesterday, where that sort of tension began spilling over. because as people were waiting for the supreme court to announce their certification or not announce or certification of the general election, another announcement was made. a prosecutor from the attorney general's office announced that the sydney a party, the progressive candidate, been out of the table was under investigation and that they were calling for the

suspension of the party from participating in the run off election scheduled for august 20th. not long after that the supreme court certified the results of the, of the election of the june 25th the election. so again, very, very confusing, but those top times are very important because um, i mean in, in short the runoff election is expected to take place. but this investigation that was announced yesterday raises new questions. i was speaking to a journalist in guatemala yesterday to sort of to ask him to explain to me, give me an analysis of what all this means. and basically he said that we're in uncharted waters here. so without more things happening today, a search of the headquarters of the us and the a party, a search of the supreme court by the attorney general's office. we can only expect us to continue to evolve. goodness, plenty of entry, but the certification of the election means this runoff is still expected to take place rice on august 20th. so what is the political landscape looking like in guatemala, between now and then i know he's been hearing from the send me

a policy just in the last hour or so. right. in theory, the certification of the elections means that we should have more certainty and clarity that this run off election is going to take place on august 20th. but the challenge now comes in the form of this investigation into the send me a party which their candidate, but i'm out of whatever little headset is good. he is going to challenge that suspension. he does not intend to not participate in the run of taking place political observers in guatemala. are saying that this investigation is on the found. it is not built on any meaningful evidence or saying that the prosecutor is doing this is conducting this investigation for, for political purposes. the bottom line, though, is that i think many people in guatemala did not expect the progressive candidate to do as well. and this election and it, this is force many people in guatemala to pay very close attention because many now see this as a question over the future democracy of the country. well, we'll continue watching very closely. indeed,

here on out of their new arrival or the close that for us from mexico said he, thank you my the salt position parties and venezuela, hoping to join forces to take on president nicholas madura and next year's election . then they will hold a primary and i'll tell you, but to decide on one common candidate against the dora some of the headphones. participation in the debates in caracas. theresa by the phone, visa, members of venice willis, a position they met at the catholic university and get access to the beta head of the primary elections in october. my difficulty now, my child has been leading the polls, but she was disqualified from running for office last month, aquino, why? there's no possibility that the regime today will have days a power to on it. you have to on it's by force on october 22nd. that's the capitalist of strength, of hope, an unprecedented organization to start to break down barrier by barrier. they

dictate to shit. but if you'll position in venezuela had previously relied on the creation of a barrel and government led by hong while you go to challenge president equal that level. but that strategy failed. that's why choosing one candidate to run against my the wheel next year's presidential elections is crucial to continue. what they call is the fight for democracy. and picking up police is one of the candidate seeking support. he told judge a 0. the biggest challenge is to remain united the, you know, had been disqualified, and madura will do the same to others. but i think madura will never be able to disqualify between the 8000000 people. degrade the test for the position is that we know how to read what's happening. we know how to have a plan for what's happening and know how to execute that plan in more beyond the legitimate dispersions that any of us may have. let us think of our country. nearly 65 percent of people in venice will live in poverty. and the government has been

trying to recover from an economic crisis that has forced millions to flee last summer. and the government controlled national assembly and now said will replace the electrical council after the opposition started helping, holding the primaries, and the se in ludo government will do everything possible to prevent the opposition from joining forces elect that the government strategy is to divide and conquer the government is a minority right now with only 20 person supports and the country that wants to change is around 80 percent. and that's why they will do everything possible as they all of us have to keep up with us and divide it. as the opposition representatives, debates to attitudes, to defeat me, call out my the order. they're aware, it's a difficult fight. and finding a common ground is the 1st big challenge is i will just see the us has approved the sale of a birth control pill without needing

a prescription for the 1st time. the oral contraceptives called the appeal has been available since the 1970s. but only to those who fast see a doctor will now be no age restriction. ones. non prescription sales begin next year. medical groups have been campaigning. the easy access to contraceptives with grace ads and see since the us supreme court struck down the right to an abortion last year. what audi i spoke to rachel or boucher. she is the dean at temple university. is beasley law school and also a leading scholar of reproductive helpful? she explains just how this move will remove barriers that when that is a huge difference. because often people say that the reason they are not using couples, they're not using oral contraceptives, is because of the travel ticket to the clinic needing to have a primary care provider having someone who's going to prescribe it to you and being able to walk into a walgreens or cbs and buy it, like you would buy a vitamin or any other over the counter drugs, i think will really ease access. i think the big question is,

how much is it gonna cost us is increasingly an outlier. i think the clear trend globally has been to allow portion and now the united states has a 3rd of the country that bands all the portion from the earliest moments of pregnancy. many countries allow contraceptives over the counter really in a way, try to, to reduce the unintended pregnancies that are 50 percent of the pregnancy using united states. i think this is a really important move and what is a crucial moment in the u. s. one that really threatens women's reproductive health. hollywood is on the brink of a shutdown for the 1st time since 1960, with some of its biggest active liked agent. join a strike, the bi script choices the screen actors guild and says deals have not been reached with studios and streaming services. they're demanding more royalties from streaming services and as well as safeguards around the use of artificial

intelligence to preserve jobs for reynolds has moved from the business studios and 5 out in california. on the screen actors guild executive board will meet on thursday. they'll decide whether a strike will go ahead and then if they do, if they do decide to strike all tv and movie production will immediately cease and the actors vote big stars in big players will go out and hit the pickup lines. what's at stake here is not only the usual labor management conflict over pay and benefits. and in the case of actors royalties and a passport, but also the looming prospect of artificial intelligence being used to manufacture the like this and voice and persona of famous actors. and then present them in computer generated films without their knowledge or their without their uh,

at least without their control. and possibly without them getting paid for it. as far as of how long this may go on, nobody knows the studios and television streaming companies are likely to start recycling older material. you may see more on scripted, a reality tv programs without professional actors or actresses. but eventually, the entertainment pipeline is going to run dry, and consumers and viewers are going to tired start taking notice rob reynolds, l g 0, burbank, california. europe could see its highest temperature as a recorded this week. some parts of southern europe already registering temperatures in excess of $45.00 degrees celsius and greece. tourists in particular, were left sweltering. correspond jones, throughout the rest is in athens. with more. the people have been preparing, as they went out to see the monuments like the acropolis behind me by drinking water,

making sure they had the hats on and so on. but the most important thing that we saw visitors, tourists do here was the, goes to the acropolis early in the day. around 1 o'clock local time, we saw that the number of visitors to the populace dropped dramatically, almost really to a trickle. and that is why you're seeing very, very few people up there. now, normally you would be able to see crowds in the camera shop behind me just all over the, the walls in front of the pulsing on building. you can't really see people there now, and that's because they've hated the government's advice to stay out of the sun between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock when not approaching the end of that window. but let me say the sun is still at the height of absurdity here. the heat has been soaking into the grounds and ends of the concrete facility for hours since this morning. and it's just radiating out as you, as you walk past buildings. so it isn't necessarily safe to go back out now,

but the worst is over the
