he says is corruption the thing he says is holding ukraine back on realizing on its immense potential this after all is ukraine's is europe's are all the poorest countries still and he says by fighting corruption bring people even people with top level involvement politics to account for their corrupt dealings he can help release that you cannot potential and really help ukrainians a decent living at home rather than being forced to leave the country as millions of ukrainians have been in recent years leaving the country in the hope of finding decent wages and the ability to provide for their families what about internationally in terms of geo political relationships but selenski stance on russia clearly a country that plays a big role in ukraine. i think it would be wrong to cool to lead and openly pro russian candidates there were different other candidates in this race who travel to moscow during the campaign that was something that was considered normal in the past before the war in basta for an extension

crimea but as we saw in the first round that doesn't pay off at the ballot box in today's ukraine that was something that didn't do them any favors selenski is certainly in no hurry to show himself as a friend of the kremlin on the one hand of the other hand he's culturally someone who speaks russian in his private life rather than ukrainian who mixes both languages in his public appearances that's something that goes down well in more russian speaking parts of this country it's observe europe while he says that personally he is in favor of closer integration and membership of nato in the e.u. but he will put this down to referendums allow the ukrainian public to decide on that the trouble is having more rather than the geopolitics is actually accusations that he's too close to him and all they got who owns the channel that made solecki famous that is a link that has been causing him considerable trouble in recent weeks and something that doesn't seem to be going anywhere away anytime soon. all right nick connelly reporting there in kiev. from selenski headquarters thank you very much. let's take

season. well the bundesliga races coming down to the wire the season with dortmund and by are neck and neck at the top of the table dortmund are seeking their first buddhist league title since twenty twelve and they helped their cause last time out with a big win against mites this weekend they travel to freiburg needing three points just to keep pace with byron munich. top were under full strength in freiburg with marco royce and the in-form jayden sam show raring to go twelve minutes in and good link up play from aerial goods and royce sets up some show to score. one no for dortmund their class easily overcoming fried birds stuck to the fence. dortmund eased off slightly though and freiburg came back into the game because out smith testing roman baccy. in the second half don't win we're back in the groove rafael guerrero with a perfect pass for royce to make it tonight. in the fifty five minutes. the

sixteenth goal of the bundesliga season for the forward frog tried to respond to his on the counterattack some show to royce and good so with that goal eleven minutes from time classic breakaway for the visitors. pascal stencils handball allowed packer cafayate and yet his seventeenth league goal of the campaign don't mean move the point behind leaders. we have four games left and we are concentrating on the next match nothing more we've got to prepare for it properly. good for what is that next game is the dollar be at home to struggling shaka on saturday. recent run of form has been let's be honest not very good they came into this match they having lost the previous five bundesliga games and this week the club said coach paul will be replaced at the end of the season their opponent this week at hanover is also trending downwards

they're heading for relegation unless something changes and changes quickly clearly both clubs were in need of a win. the sun was shining for colder dies first game since have to knows he will be leaving at the end of the season being well hung over were looking to the heavens for help in the unlikely quest to escape relegation. and over had the best chances of a dreadful first half first of all them on song and then get a key how to get she went close in first half injury time. no no at half time no wonder the ball boys felt the need for a lie down. it was more of the seam in the second half of this scramble ten minutes from the end of the pit of my eyes the blood in the thunder. that i went closest late on but salomon kalou was thwarted by me and no milage finished the dice face was his dream as the game had been well some in hanover colors were inconsolable despite their dejection their no a point closer to stuttgart in the relegation playoff spot. than is now where

fabio phony was looking to win his first monte carlo masters title the italian made for the final by knocking off the defending champion rough in a doll in the seventies and for many here in the blue uniform continued that good form in that opening set of the unexpected match up with serbia loose on lay of the thirty one year old then wrapped up a straight sets victory showing he could be a force to be reckoned with on the clay courts of the french open this coming up in just over a month. we want to turn now to our top story the bombings in sri lanka here's a rundown of what we know so far about the easter sunday attacks eight coordinated explosions were set off three at churches four at hotels and one at an apartment that was being searched by police at least two hundred seven people have been killed and four hundred fifty people are known to be injured police have arrested

several suspects a nationwide curfew is currently in place and social media platforms have also been suspended the defense minister has called the blasts a terrorist act i religious extremists. now there has been no claim of responsibility for sunday's attacks but the carnage evokes the horrors of sri lanka's civil war that ended a decade ago that conflicts did not involve the country's christian minority it was ethnic tensions between hindu tunnels and the buddhist singhalese that spilled into an all out war for twenty four years and claimed over one hundred fifty thousand lives here's a look back to this are the largest religious group in sri lanka followed by hindus and muslims christians account for just seven percent of the population in one thousand nine hundred three the predominantly hindu tamil tigers began an insurgency against the government with the aim of creating an independent state in the north they carried out a series of suicide attacks across the country but didn't target christians the

government deployed its armed forces to areas with a large tamil population tens of thousands of civilians fled the violence in may two thousand and nine the government declared victory and an end to the civil war the united nations accused both the government and the insurgents of committing war crimes. then u.n. secretary general ban ki moon called for dialogue between the senate leaves dominated government and the tamil minority. and twenty fifteenth's are launching elected a new president who promised to investigate war crimes decentralize power and strength in parliament following the end of the civil war in two thousand and nine there weren't any major terror attacks but the conflict continued to smolder in recent years there have been repeated clashes between buddhists and muslims i want to bring in our views for some more background on this. so as we heard the

different ethnicities different religions in sri lanka and yet the three places of worship attacked today were all christian what does that tell us perhaps about the religious tensions in sri lanka. well it is true that i darcs on christians and so long how been increased in the past few years but there are still substantially local. buddhists have been attacking the muslim minority and we saw some tensions this years really the government had to declare an emergency a state of emergency. but in my opinion religious tensions are not as right and still out there as you have ethnic tensions so we know that there have been decades long after nick tensions and the common separatists were demanding their homeland that ended in two thousand and nine when roger fox's government crushed at the peak so in my opinion what is

happening in sri lanka has more on the ethnic lines down on religious lines the sri lankan prime minister says that these attacks were organized locally so far authorities they're not really revealing any more information about the attackers and who they have in a custody what radical groups do we know exist in sri lanka. well we can easily identify certain groups radical groups in sri lanka first of all there are. two separate. but they were defeated in two thousand and nine and they are not very powerful at the moment then you have radicalized buddhists interlinked. their dark muslims every known down this corridor because. then you have the radical islamist groups affiliates that are part of the global jihad movement like a guy there on islam existed in their affiliates and there are armed groups

political groups but they want to establish the government so these are the groups so farmall on not as powerful to launch so many coordinated explode incidents longer do this groups are also not very powerful and they would probably not to attack the churches so it is likely but we can't see anything for sure that it could be local affiliates of islamist groups connected to your hardest as well the will of course still awaiting a little word from the government on on any claims of responsibility there and those attacks of course they do threaten to destabilize the country and again the government perhaps affecting tourism as well something that the economy there is heavily dependent on could these attacks also be seen as an attack perhaps on the government. well tourism is one of the main sources for the sri lankan

government source. and obviously the attacks have the attackers targeted resume industry into longer as. it's a let down on. the country the longer the government this long can people do resemble definitely be affected by the tax and the government will be destabilized by that all of the political tensions and prime minister with the missing it does not get along where you will with the presidency sena rajapakse they were defeated the dharma dieters in two thousand and nine wants to make a comeback so he can now goes and says there's a strong man to lead the country and probably until the government we're going to say there's a government more pressure then it it's already it is so that is highly likely the government is likely to be destabilized by these attacks so we see the multi visited. interests in it. thank you very much.
