this is a region that is washington. we develop thing, but it's one also that is afflicted by conflict. police, perhaps we try to balance the stories, the good, the bad b as the people allow us into their lives, dignity and democracy as detailed as stories, the saving lives on the battlefields. we report from the field hospital near the front lines and the color that i'm the spelling of your day. this is l 0 at life from the also coming up. the us president drops up amazing in finland with northern cletus region has become much more important financial because of the more you need is

a suit on 7 neighbors issue. a statement judging the warning sides to commit to a cease fire, but appearing to regional states. no, i'm united states of proves it's fast and the best control pill to be sold without a prescription. the russians, president bottom intrusion has warmed against ukraine. joining nature saying it would west and international tensions as comments follow. this week's nature sound less than that. you area where you can see the push for a time table on when it can join the military lines back on the ground and east and ukraine. the battle rages on correspond also back before it's now from a field hospital near buck lot and a warning. some of us may find images in this report shop setting. this is the unseen face of ukraine's capture offensive. the men and women who are

sacrificing their lives for every inch of land as much was it comes the risk this so just up time and then mind, medics don't have a lot of time to stabilize him. he's colleagues on the back to 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 to stabilize the own lives constant. as close as it can possibly be to the front line with the back to going on with around in the next room, another patient is protein with shrapnel wounds to his face. the sound of constant firing and shilling can be heard. the vibration of the strikes felt through act. this hospital were not allowed to reveal the location except that it's close to the eastern city of baltimore. russian forces to control of it to inmate. the ukrainian ministry is trying to get to. the soldier is now stable. he's lost his foot, which is a life. during moments of shortly, quite medics, rest and makes the next set of casualties. hardly beautiful thoughts here. you

could have good training for medics manual for 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. it may have a lot of the equipment and supplies is donated? sure. maybe magic's also volunteers, the scar to, you know, the most difficult thing is that we have very short on time here. if there 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 risk task throwed an outage on a dead track to winding fields or the other routes, or with insights 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 be further away, but with intense fighting, taking pace and no real change. these metrics expect just that the feel of

casualties start vague. i'll just say to me about what the front line eastern meanwhile keeps mess as the ukrainian capital was hit by the straight night of russian as strikes on wednesday with ours. he's this a 20, a rainy and made drones and to cruise missiles was shut down by the armies. edison systems, debris from down drones damaged buildings. the install have fires in several areas from mcbride reports now from key. people across key will work and the 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 5 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 they've been here since the early hours and people are still a clearing up the all star. these are reporting the room 20 and rain you and made

shy head drones with fired at ukraine across the country open. i told so 2 crews besides it being reported on one is scan the ballistic missile. and this is now see stood straight nights of drone. the tax on the capital city. me, it is terrible. and it wasn't like this before. i was born into. this is mostly to, 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 of the dates are run, mcbride, i'll just era chief on us president i 5 and has been meeting with the leaders from

several noted countries and feminist capital 5 is visit follows this week's annual nature, so i'll mention that you went in and joined the military lines. the seats region is expected to do the same shortly on different attic at his head. james base reports now from helsinki, as president biden slew straight tears at helsinki from the nato summit. in lithuania, that the white house believes was a success, presidency. lensky, maybe not happy. you didn't receive a more exact timeline. please come through his membership with 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 have been persuading, took his present, o 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 in 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 successions to nato and recent agreement to move forward on sweden's membership. and i know, and it was a reminder that the nations around the table and not only share a common history, but we shared common challenges. and i would add, for example, just like 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, with an accessible bus on landon 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 bay's outages era, helsinki, a united nation says a mass grave container, at least $87.00 bodies has been discovered into don's westoff origin. the victims were opposed to the members of the muscle. each ethnic minority group, the ones human rights office, condemned to the killings and said, it had credible information that the rapid support forces were responsible. the are assess permanent for group is fighting the army for control of 2 don. i mean, while the need is of seed on 7, neighbors have issued a joint statement. judging for apologies to commit to a cease 5 and the conflict, the regional summit was hosted by egypt, but the warring suits and these factions themselves with nothing vices. the fighting, which began in mid april, has already displaced more than 2400000 people enrolled and 700000 of them have

crossed into neighboring countries while in with the heavy. but firstly, were calling on the warring factions to seize escalation, to start without further do, in serious negotiations that aimed reaching immediate and sustainable cease fire. the secondly, we're calling on also needs parties to facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid that they'll fill up the wall. because it little still goes to the clash is taking place and so dawn are a great source of concern to my country and full neighboring countries. chad continues to deploy the deterioration of the situation, the destruction of public buildings, the attacks against innocent civilians and the targeting of basic social service institutions is the digital phone. it is obvious to us that one day we must seriously examine the route, substituting these problem in order to find the appropriate ways of solving age old crisis. all costs, one of the deval has more for us from parts who don't. in the final community,

it is something from the title, somebody to has a stress that deep concern on the part of the neighbors up. so then with regards to the ongoing war on filings and particularly the flights of stairs it civilians, it has called for an immediate cease fire for peaceful negotiations to stop and for the humanity 8 to be channeled safely. so the victims are the most important point in these communicate is that it, has it stressed on the facts of what's going on there? so that is an internal affair that's so down to 70 should be preserved and respected and that's no outside into feels should be the approach to deal with a situation so that he's foundational military costs of has well come the results back to the countries involved as expressed the military's readiness policies. 5, if the profit sport forces stop looting and a talk is typically is and if the withdrawal from government facilities, how much fun, just the parts of them to the u. k. now,

when millions of public sector workers will get pay rises of about 6 percent of the prime minister issues do not get accepted. the recommendations of independent parents, your buddies. his announcement came off the months of nationwide labor strikes and also as junior, adopt as launched a 5 day walk out, pull brannon has moved from london, accepting the recommendations of the independent pay review for days for between 6 and 7 percent. pay rises for public sector workers is going to be $8.00 5th appeal for the prime minister wishes to not to accept bearing in mind that until now the government has been offering around 3.5 percent because the government has made come back to get inflation. it's number one priority and it sees wage rises as fueling vast. nevertheless, the government said that they would be no more special offers than what's on the table right now. today's also it's final that will be no more talks on pay.

we will not negotiate again on this is settlements and no amount of strikes will change our decisions. instead, the settlement we reach today gives us a fair way to end the strikes. a sad deal for workers and a fair deal for the british tax pounds. well, the biggest questions is how will these pay arises be paid for when the government's insist that will be no additional borrowing and they will refuse to put up tax as well. essentially the going to have to be reprioritize ations in existing budgets. and that will be extra charges for people wanting to come to the u. k. so for example, the immigration health charge a charge which is paid by immigrants to access the national health service that will go up to around $1300.00. that will be extra fees by about 15 to 20 percent on work visas and things like that. but will the unions actually accept as well? the teaching unions have recommended the,

the members to accept the 6.5 percent. but the government has offered the junior don't, does though, who on thursday beginning on presidents of. 7 based off which they all yet to respond because they want 35 percent. and clearly 6 percent that they've been offered comes nowhere close to that whole brand. and i'll just share a central london the us has approved the sale of tobacco control pill without needing a prescription for the 1st time. the oral contraceptive called the appeal has been available since the 1970s. but need to those who faxed to you talk to. they will now be no age restriction. one's non prescription sales begin next year. medical groups of income paintings, the easy access to contraceptives with grace odyssey. since the us supreme court struck down the right to an abortion last year, i spoke to rachel rebushka. she is the dean at temple university is basically law school and a leading scholar of reproductive helpful. she explains how this move will remove various for women. it is

a huge difference because often people say that the reason they are not using pebbles 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 ways try to, to reduce the unintended pregnancies that are 50 percent of the pregnancies in 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. europe can say it's highest temperature ever recorded this week. some parts of southern europe are registering temperatures in excess of $45.00 degrees celsius in greece, taurus and particular left sweltering. jones ratcliffe 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 hat, so 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 post and 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. all still a head here on out is here. the biggest right when a in thailand, selection faces obstacles from the minute treat as he speaks to tangle and venezuela's opposition calls for unity as it has to take on the durham and next year's presidential. the

past, the 4 years of j books and i was white when presidency, brazil's political pendulum swung back to let the silver socialist government backed by deep buckington. i agree, businessman functions within the military and the law g fun jellicoe bass. his opponents have challenged the very integrity of the ballot boxes under obstructing his reforms. people in power hoss can lose you like the nation, saving brazil's democracy on the jersey to the welcome back to what challenges, era. i'm the so as you take it into, let's remind you about top stories, caves, mass as russian as strikes of target to the ukrainian capital for us. that straight

night was ours used as a 20 a range and made roads. and 2 christmas owls was shot down by the armies edison system emailed us president joe biden has been meeting with the leaders from several noted countries in finland's capital and follows this week's annual nature . amazingly joining finn and joining the alliance associates we as in as also likely to join the need as to don. 7 neighbors have issued a statement, adding the policies to commit to a ceasefire to enters the conflict. the regional summit was hosted by egypt to box the warring suit and inspections themselves would not suffice or oppositional policies in venezuela. all hoping to join forces to take on president nicholas madura and next year's election. they'll hold a primary in october to decide on one common candidacy against madura. some of the hopeful is participation in the debates in caracas. trees about reports. these are

members of venice willis, a position be 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. i can, you know why there is no possibility that the regime today will have the power to audit you have to on it's by force on october 22nd. that's the catch list of strength of hope. an unprecedented organization to start to break down barrier by barrier this dictate to ship it is the opposition in venezuela had previously relied on the creation of a barrel and government led by one while you go to challenge president equal on 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 side for democracy. and he got police, he's one of the candidate seeking support. he told the 0,

the biggest challenge is to remain united. the, you know, he had been disqualified and my daughter will do the same to others. but i thing my daughter will never be able to disqualify between the 8000000 people. degrade tests 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 discretions 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 month, the government control national assembly announced it will replace the electrical council after the opposition started helping, holding the primaries. and the say, the government will do everything possible to prevent the opposition from joining forces collect. i think, you know, the government strategy is to divide and conquer. the government is

a minority right now with only 20 person supports bass and the country that wants to change is around 80 percent. and that's why they will do everything possible because they all of us have to keep the position and divide it as the opposition representatives debates to add a g 's to defeat the call on my the order. they're aware it's a difficult fight and finding a common ground is the 1st big challenge the so i just need to go to them all as election has been proven into disarray. the electro quotes testified the results of the dream presidential election on wednesday. 5 minutes earlier, the attorney general's office suspended bernardo out of follows me a policy which came in 2nd place. the announcement has thrown doubts on out of all of his candidacy for the 2nd round version in august. i know rap hello has more on the situation to next. tricity it 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 that and out of the idea of

a little after after that 1st round of voting, that 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 uh, wednesday 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 up in and out of the idea of a little was under investigation and that they were calling for the suspension of the party from participating in the runoff 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 times are very important because 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. well, that's been 2 months now since thailand, how that's general election, but it's still without salita people and job or let's move forward policy one, most of the low a. how states ahead of minute treating to parties and may as general election. but in order to take power, he needed support from the military appointed senate con, suite reports now from 9 cock. as the final tally counted, and p telling geron, rut vito of the move forward party is 51 votes. short. his coalition of 8 parties has a clear majority in the warehouse. but on the titans minutes, we drafted constitution. the prime minister has to be elected with the combined

right of the lower house and the mostly military appointed senate. but i'm not giving up, i'm going to strategize once again. consolidate voice just to make sure that we reach some sensitive site to move forwards. plan to reform a lot that prohibits insults against them on a key as the main reason why they would not vote for peter me. i it is very simple . senators, i'm up the problem the so it's up to p time his party, whether they will continue to go up against him on a key. if so, it will be a conflict between them and to say that is my critique said the law has been used mostly to silence dissent against the government outside parliament. peter support his gather. many stayed on long after the vote had been counted. people the to support peter measured for 10 years ago. they say, isn't it the minister and somebody to take the will of the people. the election commission has asked the constitutional court to disqualify peter on grounds,

video and dishes and immediate company in violation of ty election laws. the quote is also looking into whether the parties planned to amend the laws relating to the one key amount to an attempt to over to the government. since the king is time instead of state laws, he is not clear yet. these protests will lead to lodges street demonstrations as they have heard of the past. as for peter and his coalition, the next few days will be crucial. it will try to keep on boarding and the negotiation. you know, with the m p, 's reach out on the opposition side and the negotiated with the senators has to be the much more you could say rigorous as it has been in the past couple of weeks that just places are due to hold a new vote for prime minister next week. so let's leave out a 0 ankle. instead of being capital, manila is facing major water disruptions. as many as $600000.00 households having

there was a cut off up to 11 hours a day, found to be load. it has been so el nino is here and, and got them which virtually supplies to all of that. so many of the water than that it's water level has dropped to about 178 meters. it's normal. operational level is 180 meters. so it's likely below its normal operational level, but this has profited the government to decrease water allocation for metro manila residents. and this has resulted to water service interruptions for several communities. here in the philippine capital in this community, for example, water service interruption starts at 7 in the evening and in the 4 in the morning. but residents here say it's not as bad as the beard, and it's also not as bad as they had previously experienced. most of my lie young days or something like it was worst joining in your in 2019. we had to do like

a rush and water from the fire trucks twice a week. now here's a bit of good news. it's raining normally. rain and storm would not be good news, but this year with the onset of a nino, it is good news and it has been raining for about 24 hours now here in metro manila so you see what they're doing. they're collecting rain water. so during the day, for most of the day, they actually have water. so they have been collecting water from their tap. but because they say water is expensive, they're thankful that there is rain and they're collecting rainwater. they're also doing all their tours before 7 in the evening. they're doing their dishes, they're watching their clothes, they're taking their baths. everything that they can do while there is water. that's what local officials have advised them to do everything that they can do. well, there is water,

the bad news here is this storm is not going to last for more than 2 days and it is possible that again, there will be no rain for days and days to come barnaby low, i'll just 0 minute a. well, that's it for me and associates a whether it is next and then inside story. we'll look at the ongoing for now from the conflict and students stay with them. the hello, the waiting is the raising down the ice, the now across the raven financially i losing that. some also place concerns with the lifted dust and sand. caught a brisk wind down towards the south. though something pops of vermont temperatures . here for the set the cells just as a lot of pleasant 27 is a good 20 degrees, was so high for to wait for the fact that could even touch 50 celsius. in fact that

as we go into the fast ice side, the searing heat does continue doha, 40 for sale, just warm enough here. some of the temperature that for damascus, that a so sort of a met the european heat wave spinning across it goes into little event into the forty's here, which is the for these 2 for kara as one. and also for cartoon, we have got plenty of showers across west africa as per usual, heaviest around liberia. see i really am pushing up into guinea even using up a little further north. was kind of processing some live the showers of years or showers the right across nigeria kind of road into that central belt of africa to the south is that it is generally dry. few showers, the 2 most. i'm big, big eastern parts of zimbabwe over the next couple of days up to the main thing will notice temperatures recovering that loss. closer to what they should be. be soccer with a top temperature of 24 celsius by sunday of the

replacing the issues of the day. we got to start the intensive song systems, the climate change temperature disruption. otherwise we wouldn't be able to feed ourselves. everyone has a voice, one of up here says pipe top, immediate a and says this is american economic car wash. what would you say about the wash and light target either, but it's only going to be me is targeting vulnerable, but as well, it's important to have this conversation we need to talk about and not about narrative. the street on algae 0 in egypt health in the war in sudan, cairo is hosting a regional summit for the warring size are not there. so can diplomacy work this time? and what's the fall out of this conflict on the reach his inside story, the

hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much enjoyment egypt is attempting to end the fighting and sudan by hosting a some.
