hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. ukraine has pushed russian forces back to russia's border outside the city of kharkiv — britain's most senior military officer says ukraine is winning the war and had already "guaranteed" its survival. but elsewhere in ukraine the fighting continues — the bbc is with volunteer soldiers facing some of the heaviest combat since the war began. they simply cannot let the russians through here, if they do more ukrainian troops to the south in the donbas will be under threat. so they're hanging on for dear life here. the uk's prime minister visits northern ireland — trying to resolve a political gridlock that has the post—brexit trade deal at its centre.

and after ten people are killed in a gun attack in buffalo, new york, it emerges the suspect was taken into custody last year after making threats at his school. says ukraine has now guaranteed its survival as a nation. in a speech today the chief of the defence staff said ukrainians are winning the war. ukrainian forces have been retaking territory in the north—east of the country in recent days, pushing the russians as we report now that doesn't mean the fighting is anything like over. far from the fighting is anything like over. farfrom it. ukrainian forces have been retaking territory in the north—east in some cases all the way to the border. that may be happening in part because some russian forces have been focusing elsewhere, on the donbas region further south. the bbc

have been to one eastern city known as the gateway to donbas for the battle for control of the area continues. war descended suddenly on ukraine. along the eastern front its men may be in bunkers, but they do not cower here. three times in the last month the russians have attacked this base, with infantry and tanks, and three times they have been repelled. another attack may be imminent. so here, they wait. vladimir putin has turned their days into night, and taken them away from theirfamilies. but for the men of this territorial defence unit, this is now home. above their heads hangs a constant threat. the town they have dug under is all but abandoned, its people gone.

orphaned pets have sought shelter here to. the men know it won't be long before the next attack. explosions. above, a russian barrage is the signal. it's time to get to work. outside these walls, everything is in the line of fire, and these men face it daily. explosions. they need little reminder that to the north the majority of russia's forces are head quartered. and to the south, most of their ukrainian comrades. their patrols and defence along this front line keep these two mighty forces apart. loud explosions.

the shells start landing closer, as the russians adjust their aim. we heading back? no. so you get a sense of what russia's artillery and tanks can do to ukrainian homes. this is relentless. the reason that these men are holding on so tight here in these defensive positions is because they simply cannot let the russians through here. if they do, more ukrainian troops to the south and the donbas will be under threat. so they are hanging on for dear life here. at the front, there's no bunker, but they are armed to the teeth. yuri, this is a volunteer battalion, these men were doing ordinary jobs before the war, and they are facing against russian tanks,

russian heavy artillery, indirect fire, how are they managing to hold the russians off? our men, they are going — they fight. every day by this fire, you can watch it, because we believe that all the democratic countries, all the world, will help us, and when we will take, we give modern weapon, these brave men, they can destroy completely the russian army. as the day grows long, it is time to pick up the pace. on open ground there's no safe hiding place. pinned down, the route back is cut off by by artillery fire, so through gardens and back yards

they search for an escape. a soldier calls out "leave this place as soon as possible," and it is here we find natasha, stubbornly hanging on. "do you need help leaving? " yuri asks her. translation: i don't have anyone here. - but she is defiant. this war wasn't her choice. it's as if she refuses to acknowledge it, even as russian shells soar overhead. let us go to her house, she invites us. we can't go forward, can we? loud explosion. very close to us. very close to us, on our way. yuri tries to convince her to come with us. to stay risks death. translation: idon't- want to betray my husband, he's buried in the cemetery here.

i won't leave him. we try, one last time. natasha, why don't you leave here? translation: because it's my home and i have nowhere to go. _ yuri implores her, "natasha, go to a nearby town, "they will help you there. translation: why? i got used to it now. he says, "we can help you, are you ready to be evacuated? translation: ifi go there, what willl do next? - off you go, guys, thank you. we have to leave, but natasha is told to pack her bags. they will come back for her when the shelling stops. despite the onslaught, the men pushed forward. loud explosions. this is what stalemate sounds like on the eastern front.

and this is what it takes to keep the gateway to the donbas firmly shut. quentin somerville, bbc news, ukraine. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kyiv. we've just watched clinton's report from one area with the fighting is very much continuing, when hearing other reports near kharkiv where the ukrainians of bush the russians back. what is your assessment on the state of this conflict?— state of this conflict? wasn't it summed up — state of this conflict? wasn't it summed up in _ state of this conflict? wasn't it summed up in clinton's - state of this conflict? wasn't it summed up in clinton's peas, l state of this conflict? wasn't it - summed up in clinton's peas, they eat and attaches who were among the most very last, stubborn, stalwart holding on notches in those areas around kharkiv but there are many and attaches and their husbands living still in the donbas as they come intense artillery fire and bombardment from the advancing russian forces. look at force that

was reined against the russians. most of them civilians who had been picked up a gun before russians invasion started last month. and even then what we have seen is around kharkiv, mostly to the ease, close to russia's border eight motley force of national guard, civilians that we saw in that peas properly trained soldiers have managed sense ukraine started the counter offensives around kharkiv at the beginning of may, notjust to push russia back out of several villages but as we've seen pushing them right up almost to the russian border. but the war is not over. kharkiv is still within range of artillery fire. we heard from the governor today saying there was still some shelling and in the donbas is where president zelensky has admitted the situation is very difficult. it is the top target for president putin, reinforcements are arriving. that is going to be the

toughest battle of all. they are battling now in the donbas. itrailiiiie battling now in the donbas. while the fi . htin: battling now in the donbas. while the fighting goes _ battling now in the donbas. while the fighting goes on _ battling now in the donbas. while the fighting goes on where - battling now in the donbas. while the fighting goes on where it is anywhere how we got to with those diplomatic efforts we saw on the first few weeks of the war to try and find some form of common ground between the two sides? it’s and find some form of common ground between the two sides?— between the two sides? it's not a time for talking. _ between the two sides? it's not a time for talking. the _ between the two sides? it's not a time for talking. the armies - between the two sides? it's not al time for talking. the armies never give up while they still believe they have a chance to make progress on the battlefield. sometimes they do give in temporary cease—fire as a ruse to allow them to regroup, to reorganise, perhaps even to help some of the civilians but it's only a pause because as long as you armies and in this case, it's a case of both ukrainians and russians, they still believe that they have they still believe that they have the momentum now. ukrainians are now talking about notjust standing ground but as we've been hearing around kharkiv, taking ground back.

even taking ground back that the russians took in 2014. and for russians took in 2014. and for russia there is no way that russia is going to stop its advance, not while it has really not very much to show on the ground. 5m? while it has really not very much to show on the ground.— show on the ground. stay with us a cou - le show on the ground. stay with us a coule of show on the ground. stay with us a couple of other _ show on the ground. stay with us a couple of other dimensions - show on the ground. stay with us a couple of other dimensions to - show on the ground. stay with us a couple of other dimensions to the l couple of other dimensions to the story i like to ask you about. sweden has formally announced its decision to join nato. european allies have welcomed confirmation of sweden's decision to apply for nato membership. it comes a day after finland formally announced it would apply to join the alliance. this is the announcement by the swedish prime minister. translation: after the governments | debate we had an additional meeting | and we made two decisions, the first is that the government has decided to inform nato sweden wants to become a member of the alliance and that a swedish ambassador to nato will put this request forward shortly. let me bring in this map. it shows nato's expansion eastwards since 1997, with sweden and finland in pink

to mark the countries applying tojoin. in some ways, not much would change if theyjoin nato. these two are being told they could be welcomed with open arms. the response from president putin is not been enthusiastic. here's what he had to say. translation: russia has no problems with these states. | therefore the expansion of nato at the expense of these countries does not pose a direct threat to russia. but the expansion of military infrastructure into this territory will certainly require a response. we will see what that response will be based on the threats that will be created for us. lyse doucet. asa as a symbolic moment nato expanded to this degree catches the eye. in

practicalterms, how to this degree catches the eye. in practical terms, how much you think this changes the military and diplomatic calculations? it affects it in a number— diplomatic calculations? it affects it in a number of— diplomatic calculations? it affects it in a number of dimensions, - diplomatic calculations? it affects it in a number of dimensions, you just are from president putin, it all depends on what happens on the ground. what if there are nato forces, nato weaponry which moves into fenland, moves into sweden? finland and sweden, although they have been proudly neutralfor finland and sweden, although they have been proudly neutral for many years, the reality has been that they've had a very close partnership with nato. they've had military exercises, the weapon systems are more closely aligned with nato. so there may not be many changes along there may not be many changes along the battlefield... along the common border, what we've seen for example in the baltic states in recent years is very strong movement of members of nato armies, if that would happen in nato in finland and sweden then i think russia would look at this again and reassess the threat along

its border. military history will remember this as a disastrous military campaign it isn't over yet but a spectacular own goal by russia in starting a war that he said was all about reducing the threat from nato, in the end he's got a lot more nato than last. nato, in the end he's got a lot more nato than last-— nato than last. thank you very much for “oininu nato than last. thank you very much forjoining us- _ closer to home now — we have a look at borisjohnson's latest efforts to avert a crisis over the northern ireland protocol. mrjohnson is in belfast holding emergency talks with northern ireland's political parties. his aim is to urge them to form a power—sharing goverment. the country's unionist party — the dup — has been vetoeing the appointment of a speaker in northern ireland's assembly this is what you may have heard is a northern ireland protocol. not everyone was pleased as

he jerked hejerked doing that he jerked doing that borisjohnson. have a lock. that was the reception. booed and jeered by about 200 people who had gathered at the castle's gates. mrjohnson's visit comes after an election that upset the delicate balance of northern ireland's politics. here's our correspondent chris page. the election result brought a very political shift in the politics of northern ireland for the for the first time the irish nationalist party, they party that's committed to taking northern ireland out of the uk making it 100 with the republic of ireland. the party is sinn fein. the second biggest party now is the party that was the biggest party for the last 19 years, the democratic unionist party whose to keep northern ireland within the united kingdom. it is a significant move at the top. another big change was the cross community alliance

community, the party that divides itself is neither unionist or nationals has moved on from this paid to third, more than doubling its numbers in the stormont assembly chamber. once he hasn't changed and thatis chamber. once he hasn't changed and that is the sense of deadlock. the democratic unionist party has been blocking the formation of a devolved government, indeed it's been blocking the storm and assembly from meeting at all. in northern ireland, the government's power must be shared between two different political parties. that was established under the good friday agreement, which came about to bring peace to northern ireland. sinn fein was the largest party in these latest elections, so they get to pick a first minister. which leaves the deputy first minister position to the dup. together, they are referred to as the northern ireland executive this was the dup�*s leader earleir today. we cannot have power sharing and less there is a consensus, that consensus doesn't exist, i'm in the business of rebuilding that consensus in northern ireland. he's referring to an agreement over the northern ireland protocol, agreed between the uk and the eu in 2019 to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland,

still a european union member, and northern ireland. it also allowed northern ireland to remain in the eu's single market. but the dup wants the protocol scrapped. here's the dup�*s leader again. before they would be no hard border between the republics because the uk was in the you delete an you for that map out but the protocol allows for no hard borderfor the arrangement of the single border of hot goods. that is a knock on effect because you've got to put check somewhere, at the moment they are in the irish sea between great britain and northern ireland. this is one of the reason the dup has concerns about the protocol. here's a dup leader again. we waited a long time on this moment, we waited a long time to see the government bring forward proposals that represent action apologise that clip took a while to

play it ended in place we wanted to. the dup is not happy with the protocol for a number of reasons. they are symbolic reasons for example, if you want ireland to be treated exactly the same as the rest of the uk and putting checks between northern ireland the rest of the uk pension doesn't do it. there practical concerns as well. so now, what to do about it? the government we know is considering potentially bringing legislation this week that could override elements of the protocol. here is the eu commenting on the position that it's been reached. this is an agreement that britain entered into. there is no mention of renegotiating black and white agreement signed on the dotted line. and this does not happen in international agreements and we cannot have relationships of certainty if people want to make changes. and yes, there is no doubt that the protocol creates a difference between northern ireland and britain's, it's certain aspects for goods only. but we also know that the value to northern ireland of the protocol, of being in market and in the british market

massively outweighs all of the negative effects. and we are still trying to reduce those negative effects. sinn fein wants it to be a part of the party of ireland. it supports the party of ireland. it supports the protocol although generally it opposes brexit. this is what sinn fein is president had to say because of mrjohnson's visit. the of mrjohnson's visit. the unfortunate _ of mrjohnson's visit. the unfortunate thing - of mrjohnson's visit. the unfortunate thing is - of mrjohnson's visit. the unfortunate thing is that of mrjohnson's visit. tta: unfortunate thing is that the british government now is playing a game of brinkmanship with the european institutions, indulging a section of political unionism which believes that it can hold a veto and frustrate and hold society to ransom. ~ �* ., ., ., ransom. we've also heard from the prime minister _ ransom. we've also heard from the prime minister himself. _ ransom. we've also heard from the prime minister himself. we - ransom. we've also heard from the prime minister himself. we would l prime minister himself. we would love this to _ prime minister himself. we would love this to be _ prime minister himself. we would love this to be done _ prime minister himself. we would love this to be done in _ prime minister himself. we would love this to be done in a _ prime minister himself. we would i love this to be done in a consensual way with_ love this to be done in a consensual way with our— love this to be done in a consensual way with our friends and partners ironing _ way with our friends and partners ironing out — way with our friends and partners ironing out the problems, stopping some _ ironing out the problems, stopping some of— ironing out the problems, stopping some of these barriers east—west. but to— some of these barriers east—west. but to get— some of these barriers east—west. but to get that done, to have the insurance — but to get that done, to have the insurance we need to proceed with a

having profound effects for the future of northern ireland. the dup as opposed to that trade border is unionist, they viewed as an economic barrier within their country, something that damages northern islands. sinn fein say they are in favour of the protocol is a way of mounting the follow—up for brexit, they would say exit of the whole is a very bad thing. but they have criticised borisjohnson a very bad thing. but they have criticised boris johnson for planning to take unilateral criticised borisjohnson for planning to take unilateral action for moving to scrap parts of the protocol in the absence of government with the eu. as every northern ireland, balancing political partnerships is very critical. for borisjohnson's part is told to go back into power sharing, he was in a sort of the protocol, he says he has to be a legislative, pointing to government plan to put together a new law that would allow ministers to the power to override parts of the protocol if there isn't a new deal with the eu. and that is the next thing i wanted to help me understand. tell me about

this legislation planned by boris johnson that would allow the uk government to override parts of the protocol, which parts, in practical terms do we know what the uk is planning to do here? the terms do we know what the uk is planning to do here?— terms do we know what the uk is planning to do here? the details are et to be planning to do here? the details are yet to be revealed _ planning to do here? the details are yet to be revealed but _ planning to do here? the details are yet to be revealed but we _ planning to do here? the details are yet to be revealed but we know- planning to do here? the details are| yet to be revealed but we know from statements made of the last few days by the likes of the foreign secretary that the governments basic idea is that goods that are travelling from great britain into northern ireland and definitely will not go across the border into the republic of ireland should be any need for those goods to be checked. it could have a situation where there is a red lane and a green lane for goods crossing the irish sea of a goods that are sure to be staying in northern ireland will need to be checked and if any goods are in that lane and do end up in the eu single market, perhaps the penalties for the firms that are breaking the rules would be all the more severe. that is also a solution being talked

about for example in dublin by irish diplomats. the eu says it does recognise you can turns although they wanted to run more smoothly although it says but the eu to effect rep up parts of the protocol, move on its own would be a breach of international law and therefore not be good for many aspects, not least the site eu leaders have said it's important that the eu and other western nations such as the uk are being seen to act in unity at the moment given the threat from russia. lebanese politics. the elections just happen there. it's notjust important for lebanon it's important for the whole region. let's get some help understanding why. let's start with the results of what we know of them. , , ., ., ,., them. their results that we had so far don't show— them. their results that we had so far don't show any _ them. their results that we had so far don't show any huge _ them. their results that we had so far don't show any huge shift, - them. their results that we had so far don't show any huge shift, that hadn't been expected, the desire, the need for change in lebanon is

very high but the expectations for her to come from the selection or that high. what we have seen is the majority which was held in the current parliament by his brother and its allies, that may not last into the new parliament. his brother itself and the other party have won all the receipts but they are christian allies have lost some seats. that means it seems very unlikely that his brother will have majority again. that's a shift. we've also seen, which is significant but i don't like it you have any major change in the way that lebanese politics is run, cuisine independence, and alternative candidates being successful. these have arisen very much in the past few years from the economic collapse and that terrible blast in 2020 in beirut. there's a movement that's been percolating for years. i rememberthe movement that's been percolating for years. i remember the previous election of there being hopes that these voices would finally be heard and that didn't happen then. this

time that has happened to a small extent. but i think what we are going to see in the next lebanese parliament is a shift away, his brother being backed by iran, perhaps that nexus from lebanon which is been a big problem for country in many ways calmly certainly internationally the buses has not been happy with that. i don't think were going to see any major change. what may happen again, which is what the lebanese as gotten used to is a political deadlock, the negotiation, the horse trading that will go on is likely to be a long process. will go on is likely to be a long rocess. �* , . ~' will go on is likely to be a long rocess. �* , ., ~ ., ., ., process. let's talk again in a few da s is process. let's talk again in a few days is that _ process. let's talk again in a few days is that horse _ process. let's talk again in a few days is that horse trading - process. let's talk again in a few days is that horse trading plays l process. let's talk again in a few i days is that horse trading plays out and we get an idea of the direction of travel for lebanon government. remember on all the stories we cover you can get more analysis by the bbc news website. if you want more analysis from outside source a good place

to find it is on twitter — i'm @bbcrosatkins. follow me, you'll see all of our videos, they're usually quite short with lots packed in. i'll be back in a couple of minutes' time. you hello. most of us is seen rain at some stage of the day in scotland is it raining on and off of much of the day with the exception of some sunshine in shetland. white a cool easterly wind. northern ireland, for much of england and wales is been some sunshine but big clouds producing scatter heavy showers and thunderstorms. we've got low—pressure sitting to the west of us at the moment throwing up bands of wet weather it also thundery downpours. the flow of your coming around it from a long way south and it's quite welcome quite human especially where you get to see some sunshine. warmer still for many into tomorrow. we've still got heavy and thundery downpours and places at the moment and rain in scotland. all of the clearing through, getting through tonight. by morning it's mainly dry, misty and murky in

places, you'll find temperatures across eastern scotland and northeast england. we are setting up a west is split in our weather tomorrow, turning weather in the west. in the morning it doesn't look like much but through the afternoon this rain will turn heavy and more widespread across northern ireland, western scotland, the west of wales in western parts of england and holding temperatures down. anywhere to the east of that you're going to have a mainly dry, much warmer day in the sunny spells, really boosting temperatures. the highs we've seen so far this year in the uk across east anglia and the south—east, mid 20s around 26 degrees, warmer in eastern scotland to put up where you have to want to get to see the sunshine, high uv, high pollen levels. the rain does move east tomorrow evening and towards the south. they'll be thundery downpours to contend with. more wet weather around, clearing through by the time you get to wednesday morning. we've got a gap between systems just waiting for the next batch of showers moved through, northern ireland later in the night, scotland wednesday morning. that it's a case

of a lot of fine weather around on wednesday with broken cloud and sunny spells put up the next weather system bearing down on northern ireland later in the day it was some rain but up ahead of that may throw up a few showers and again towards south and southwest, some could be heavy and thundery and places. temperatures a little bit lower on wednesday but still very warm particularly for central and eastern parts of england. as we get to thursday there is a lot of fine weather around, thursday there is a lot of fine weatheraround, by thursday there is a lot of fine weather around, by friday showers and maybe thunderstorms moving through, a coolerfresher, cherry weekend. that's your weather.

it's hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. ukraine has pushed russian forces back to the russian border close to the city of kharkiv. volunteer soldiers facing some of the heaviest combat of the war. simply cannot let the russians through here. if they do, more ukrainian troops to the south will be under threat. so, we are hanging on for dear life year. boris johnson has been visitin: life year. boris johnson has been visiting northern _ life year. boris johnson has been visiting northern ireland - life year. boris johnson has been visiting northern ireland training | visiting northern ireland training to solve a political gridlock because of the election results a few days ago and in part because of the concerns of some parties about

the concerns of some parties about the brexit deal. food prices could be rising by 30% and here are some the reasons why. regaining control of territory close to the country the second largest city, kharkiv, it's been under attack since moscow began in the invasion. there is this report. the bi . . est invasion. there is this report. the biggest news _ invasion. there is this report. tt2 biggest news is that the ukrainian army managed to push russians closer to the russian border. it was done by the 227 battalion of the 127 per grade on the city of kharkiv of the ukrainian armed forces. for the couple of weeks, they have liberated a dozen villages and the kharkiv region and this is made it harder

for the russians to hit the city of kharkiv with artillery. despite that, we can still hear the sound of glass from time to time emanating in the air servants are going on quite often. according to the local administrations, there aren't four people wounded because of russian showing here in the city today and two more were wounded in the villages around. the sensor in the city is still quite tense and it is quite different from what i remember before the war and this is the central square you not see many people around. this was targeted in the open in the city is getting back to life but it is happening quite slowly. mcdonald's is selling its business in russia in response to the war in ukraine. the burger chain said it wasn't consistent with its values to continue operating there. mcdonald's temporarily closed all its russian outlets in march. russia's first mcdonald's restaurant opened in 1990.

this was the scene in moscow — people waited in crowds for hours to get into the first restaurant to be served. the opening was seen as a symbol of moscow embracing the west. at the time, the soviet union was opening its economy to western brands. the bbc�*s russia editor steve rosenburg called the closing, the "end of an era" adding, "when the 1st mcdonald's opened here, american burgers, fries & pies were a symbol of moscow embracing the west: hot food to end a cold war. we live in very different times..." they've said that is it, we are out in this is under huge pressure and they said they do not want an iconic brand to be representing the us to be funding russian war efforts. they have come out and said where's ending this, this will cost them money to. this will cost them $1.4 billion but others that have left

russia or in the process of leaving russia, the likes of bp and shell, from $25 billion to leave russia. this is a costly business but it is one they have to do. mcdonald's president said today's announcement was "extremely difficult". in a statement, he said "our commitment to our values means that we can no longer keep the arches shining there." here's our business reporter ramzan karmali on why mcdonald's felt the pressure to sell up. missed mcdonald's already shut its restaurants temporarily and the suspended operations. the fact that mcdonald's is saying that is it, we are shutting up and we are pulling out. i think that is recognition of the reality, really, that things are not going to return to normal here and what the kremlin calls special military operation, what most of the world calls russia's war has trained

change things long—term. it is no longer tenable or consistent with mcdonald's values. this is the end of an era, i remember when the first mcdonald's restaurant opened way backin mcdonald's restaurant opened way back in 1990, back in the ussr, there was so much excitement in huge crowds. yet the queue for three hours to get in i remember that day, american burgers and fries and pies, they really were a symbol that day of moscow embracing the west and hot food to help in the cold war fast—forwa rd 32 years, food to help in the cold war fast—forward 32 years, things have changed and rush in the west have lost their appetite for one another because russia's offensive in ukraine has sparked international condemnation in the kremlin accuses the west threatening russia.

over the next two weeks the bbc will be focusing on the rising cost of living that is impacting millions of lives around the world, looking at the forces that are making food and energy more expensive and how the rising cost is affecting different communities. one majorfactor is the war in ukraine. this is what the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey told the uk's treasury committee a few hours ago, about a meeting he had with ukraine's finance minister. i'm afraid that i'm going to sound rather apocalyptic about this but it is food. a major supplier of weeks and major suppliers and other things. he was very optimistic about planting but he said at the moment, we have no way of shipping it out. as things stand, things are getting worse. that is a major worry and not

smaller food and accounts for only 15% of consumption and the wealthier economies by the time you get to the middle and low income countries, you're talking 30 and 40 and even higher than 40%. so, this is really denting their spending ability and it's a major long way to recovery from the covid—19 pandemic. as you heard there, the covid pandemic had already led to a shortage of goods and workers, then the war in ukraine further disrupted supply chains and increased energy prices. but there is a third factor, climate change. india has now banned wheat exports, blaming a heatwave that is expected to reduce wheat crops. india is the world's second largest wheat producer. on the markets, us and european wheat futures climbed by nearly 6% today — the outlook is frightening, the world bank, who we just heard from, has projected a huge 37% leap in food prices which will push hundreds of millions people into poverty some of those most at risk, are in africa —

living in countries that are vulnerable to climate change and dependent on wheat imports. they rely on a lot of imports to supplement their own production of other crops and a lot of those imports are coming from russia and ukraine and that is severely disrupted in egypt, 80% of its wheat imports are coming from ukraine and so, we are facing is a situation where prices have risen sharply in its leading to a lot of food insecurity in the region which we know can lead to a lot of social unrest intentions and government was trying to adapt and provide support and as such limited space and countries are coming out the pandemic they've already implemented physical programmes to support the population of the last two years and there's not much room to go. rising rices there's not much room to go. rising prices have — there's not much room to go. rising prices have hit _ there's not much room to go. rising prices have hit brazil— there's not much room to go. rising prices have hit brazil too, _ prices have hit brazil too, inflation is his it's been for over 20 years or south american

that he apparently posted online, they are trying to authenticate that. in it there are racist ramblings and the suspect describes himself as a white supremacist and anti—semite. so they are reading through those documents and hoping that it offers some clues as to how he wound up at this place. we are seeing a growing number of these kinds of attacks and you do see evidence that they are connected for example, expert set of looked up at 180 page manifesto draw direct connections to the 2019 attacks in christchurch new zealand and say that this young shooter looks to those shootings as an example, as a model. in fact, whole language from some of the manifesto that was done in new zealand and used it in his own 180 page manifesto.

racist and let's try and understand the motivation behind some in carrying out these mass shootings. this sociologist explains. there's no one profile of a mass shooter but we've studied the history of them going back to 1966, the book that you mentioned we have noticed that there is a commonality in one of the key things is that these are often angry young men who are really searching for a place in the world and answers to their problems and they are airing a grievance and they are doing it in a very public, very horrible way and i think that is what we see here with these particular situations which,

we see someone who is targeting racial and ethnic minority groups because they seem to be the target of what he views as being his frustration or his hang up with society and there is a commonality that we have seen in the history of my shooters and unfortunately there are so many that we have the opportunity to go back and look at these patterns over time. north korea is in the middle of a national covid—19 outbreak and their accusing ministers of been slow and disorganised.

suing for libel, defending the claim on the basis of social media posts about her were substantially true. our correspondent has been following the case in the high court of london and this is his latest report. rooney arriving with her husband on the second day and she said she did not tell anyone, not even weighing about her months long on my investigation into who was leaking their private life to the papers. she said it was february to the cementing machine for suspected vardy was behind a number of stories appearing in the sun newspaper. one story that rooney made up was about the basement flooding, the only instagram account that to read it was vardy�*s and that story appeared in the sun, prompting rooney to post her reveal. she said that she found

it ridiculous and that far from enjoying the attention given to her new sleuthing skills, she hated me every minute of the publicity. the reason why she did not confront her before going public with the findings is because by that stage, she did not believe a word those coming out of her mouth described vardy�*s messages about her as just evil. vardy�*s lawyer says his client has accepted that she was the leak, and she responded by saying that she believes vardy knew what was going on the whole time.

they have since come back to the russian border with them facing some of the heaviest fighting in the war elsewhere. now the latest on covid in north korea. the leader kim jong un is struggling to contain a wave of cases sweeping through the country, as it battles a nationwide outbreak. so how serious is it? well, state media says more than a million people are now sick with what pyongyang calls a "fever", and some 50 people have died from it, although it's s unclear how many of those people had actually tested positive for coronavirus. on sunday, kimjong—un held an emergency meeting with high level officials, where he ordered the military to help stabilise the supply of medicines. he also criticised his cabinet of being irresponsible and their slow and disorganized response to the outbreak. here's the vice minister of north korea's public health department.
