9:00 am
ah ah ah ah, this is d, w. use live from berlin. after 50 days under attack, ukraine claims a major victory at sea, the sinking of a russian guided missile cruiser. russia admits its black sea flag, ship the mosque, but sunk while being towed to port after explosions on board. but ukraine says it's miss isles took out the ship. also coming up, they asked, what are you thinking? he said it's a great for my dog. then they told him,
9:01 am
it's all so you of rifle and they just shot 2 more reports of atrocities committed by retreating russian troops. a reporter meets survivors in the destroyed town of mac, a reef near keith and german police. say they foiled a plot to kidnap a government minister. their alleging germany's health minister was on the target list of a group of domestic terrorist over his strict corona virus control measures. ah, annexed by sir, welcome to the program. it's now more than 50 days since russia launch just invasion of ukraine. it is nightly video address president volota news. lensky praised ukrainian people for surviving so long under relentless attack. ukraine is also claiming a victory in his efforts to repel russian forces at sea. russia's military has
9:02 am
confirmed its main warship in the black sea. the moscow sank while being towed back to port in it's stormy weather. oscar says the ship suffered a fire explosion, but you crane says the damage was caused by it's miss styles hitting the vessel on wednesday off the port of odessa. the loss of the war ship is a setback for russia and a symbolic victory for ukraine, which is so landscape picked up on in his address book. bunch of nipple need to give you. i've seen people who aren't politicians do more in these 50 days than some statesman who claim to be leaders in the wall and not lead this gift. because of these people have shown that russian aviation can be beaten. even the russia has spent tens of billions of dollars on systems to protect exec craft at the pick up because i'm, these people have sharing the russian ships can only go here, but to the bottom model. and for more on this, i'm joined now by air marshall fil osborne,
9:03 am
a former chief of defense intelligence for the united kingdom, and now a director with universal defense and security solutions, a global defense consultancy, air marshal, losing the mascara. how much does that hurt? well, it's pretty determined as far as both craner and russia are concerned, and whether or not it's through russian negligence or ukrainian attack. i think it's a fairly major impact. it's the 2nd major vessel that rush lost in the, in the black. so you will have an ad offense to ship capability, but if it is the subject of your crime in a time, then it's going to force russia to change it. so i'm going to have to stand back a lot more is going to think about how it uses the naval assets to support the learn campaign. so, so it's, it's a really major impact either way. this morning there were explosions around the capital key. could that be a symbolic lashing out because of the thinking to think so i'm not surprised. i
9:04 am
mean, ukraine is a, was on and, and although russia said it's refocused, it's attached to the ace that doesn't in any way. mean, it's going to so sense or any tax elsewhere, it could actually be retaliation for reported ukrainian attacks on russian towns near the border with your crime. but i think we can expect to see russia attacked across ukraine, specially against those important supply lines from a, from a ukranian point of view. and just to return to intelligence, which are, which is a specialty, how much is real time intelligence provided by the u. s. and nato countries important to the war effort and in a related question, how important is the intelligence coming from citizens with smartphones who's sent pictures of tanks, for instance, to the armies telegram channels? well, i think we're seeing one of the 1st was where everything is transparent, social media has transformed wall,
9:05 am
what we know and transform walk commanders know about their opposition. so so, so i think this is a major change and a much more open intelligence picture is both good and bad depending on where you sit. in terms of western support, western support is critical to your crate and it will become increasingly important . and intelligence will be, will be one element of that support. what that support will do is give you crane a good idea about where russian force is all. and the kind of vulnerabilities that posing and the kind of opportunities there for that ukraine has at your mentioning support i, i would like to ask you about the importance of supply lines and logistics for both sides and for how important is for the west to keeps because going, if your crane is to win for the next few weeks, frankly, all critical to the upcoming campaign campaign with russia's dreadful illegal
9:06 am
invasion of the view crane is successful or whether it's for post on the west is really got to start up is done is done ok, so fall, this is net, russia is re deploying its forces across russia to support this forthcoming offensive in the east. and the west is really got to rearm and then re supply ukraine over the next few weeks. this is, this is a critical period on the west is really got to show that it means what it says. and there's psychology to all of this as we were discussing about the thinking of the mass by the effect that, that might have a date on the calendar that is important psychologically to the russians. as you know, well, is a day of victory on may. the 9th, when they celebrate victory in world war 2, how important is it for vladimir putin to haven't military's to success by then? and i mentioned it's very important to him, but, but war doesn't follow desirable timelines. it never has, it never will. and,
9:07 am
and i can't see him achieving even a limited success sufficient for the kind of declaration he wants in may. the weather is pretty bad in the east at the moment and that will slow things up even more, you know, so frankly, the ukrainians are showing incredibly risk, robust resistance, really coming back of the russians and i think that's going to continue so. so i suspect who is in for a disappointing made a announcement there probably be one, but it will be propaganda if nothing else. air martial fil osborne, thanks so much for that insight. while many regions in ukraine continue to come under russian fire, the country has reopened. non humanitarian tarion corridors ahead of unexpected large scale assault by russia's military. ukraine's government had previously closed the escape routes for a day saying russia had violated an agreement to allow safe passage more than 2500
9:08 am
people use the roads to reach safety on thursday, including hundreds who escaped, the besieged city of mariel. and earlier i spoke with the w correspondent, young phillips shoals and asked him if a russian offensive now seems inevitable. most ukrainians think that this offensive can't be avoided anymore, and that it will cause new reggie movements for sure. the russians seem to have added up to 40000 troops and concentrate them in the don bus region. many observers say the plan is probably to encircle the ukrainian troops. there's so many people expect very bloody fighting in the coming days or weeks. the weather in the region has been quite bad. this could also mean that there might be a delay of the attack because it's harder to,
9:09 am
to operate off roads. but i fear it's more a question of when the major attack will starts and not it will come and ian in the areas around key vacated by russian troops. we're seeing more and more evidence of the killing of civilians. you've been to some of the error areas where these things have been taking place. what did you see? yeah, exactly. we visited mockery the small town and the key at region recently and the are of the destruction, the human suffering that we saw. there are incredible, really the may are said. so at least $130.00 civilians were killed from what we could see, i would say at least above the city is completely destroyed. and so the stories that the local residents told us how they had to witness a lot of fact killings. ah, incredibly cruel let's. let's have
9:10 am
a look at sir. the report. it's hard to believe that there is still human life among all the destruction basil and his wife natalia. where at home, when russian troops took over mackarath in late february when morning. so just came to their house and accused basil of taking pictures. they tied him up and left him outside in his to it shed. hulu. no, hulu, but it was very cold and particular at night, the worst was that i had no idea what happened to my wives with them. barbara. one day a soldier came and brought me my special medicine you. this was the moment when i understood that my wife was still alive for a little while. everywhere it's a similar picture. neighbors of a sealant natalia tell us that in this neighbourhood alone, russian soldiers killed 53 people. a 17 year old girl was allegedly rate for weeks. the family had to hide in this small basement room, always fearing that they could be the next target. it's hard to imagine
9:11 am
a place with more distraction and with more human suffering. then here in my carries, the town of butcher has become a worldwide symbol of rush as war crimes. but it becomes more and more apparent that there are many more but just all across ukraine. ego worked as a teacher in my car if before the war started. now he walks through the town, distributing donated medicine often he only finds and t ruins. 90 percent of my car, if residents have left or been killed. he goes friends used to live in this house. he doesn't know what has become. wow. ms. really spooky. we used to have a calm and peaceful life here. this family was just renovating their house. they were construct was a little summer cottage and their bag that you get it. but you all over there you see the kindergarten, the dutch. what happened to all of it? she's nervously she'll nearby, eager, his more success. he finds an elderly men who still lives amongst all the destruction. he has hardly left the house since the attacks began. russian soldiers
9:12 am
shot one of his neighbors on the street. you told us they asked, what are you digging here? he said it's a grey for my dog. then they told him it's all so you are grave now and they just shot him. 3 weeks ago, my carrier was liberated by the ukrainian army. since then, many volunteers have come to her with a clean up work. about the gruesome memories of the survivors will probably stay with them forever. that was yen should have shorts, reporting from macquarie's. children have been among those hardest hit by the war, and ukraine. united nations says nearly 2 thirds of all ukrainian children have fled their homes since the invasion. again, that's 4800000 children displaced within about 7 weeks. uniform theft described the speed and magnitude of the displacement as quote incredible of those who remain in their homes, many face food shortages and school closures. that's on top of the extreme trauma
9:13 am
of those trapped in besieged cities like mariel. so how are children coping under the stresses of war? d. w reporter test of alter, met with one mother who fled ukraine with her young son with bethany. and now they, are he, in germany the playing as if nothing was amiss. but just a few weeks ago, life changed dramatically from my car and his mother svetlana we wake up of the course. wish over listen, we're listen, show it didn't, and the long been in the on that. so in black. ringback see it, so it foam scatter. it's crazy and non i. now, i don't believe what happened. the bombing and shelling of odessa and the surrounding area drove svetlana and her son to fleece they travelled, 400 kilometers,

9:17 am
of the countries children have not been displaced. and i've got colleagues who are telling me about children who worked for the day, sometimes weeks with nothing but the clothes on their back. the weather conditions have been, have been terrible. this, the escalation of this conflict started in the deepest winter and i'm in love it now. it's quite nice of my been sunny, but earlier this week it was still snowing. and you know, children are telling our colleagues about experiences like being trapped in a basement. and marion poll the 2 weeks and, and managing somehow to get out. and, you know, this just builds a picture of the extreme conditions that children are living in and the kind of psychological distress that, that they're facing and where to say to children, we are very, very concerned about that risk of long term trauma. not to mention the danger of media, physical home from aerial explosions and bombardments and huge disruption to education . a separation from their families and all that the child protection basics that
9:18 am
comes with that as well. and what kind of help can, can these children can expect from, from you and the other, and g o to the government is help. is it possible to get help to them? it is, let's say the children's actually been working in ukraine since 2014, when the war started. and we've, we're now really expanding across the rest of the country and to respond to these huge escalation. classes is changed by the day. i've got some colleagues who've been working tirelessly along with local grass roots organizations to get the basic immediate need of people to blanket nappies hygiene items and also cash assistance as well with people money to help them on the way wherever they're going . and what we now doing as well is bringing pets and things like child protection and mental health to support children when they're crossing the board and neighboring countries. and also in kind of centers around the country where we're

seeing a lot of people just place that you know, you asked of help is getting in. i mean, we do what we can, but what we really need to happen is the media and to the violence because there are places that say, but children at other aid workers can't get into because it's just too dangerous right now. and the only way that we can get the hell to everybody. you need it by, you know, the ending and just briefly, what else can people who are watching do to help people who are watching i can donate to our children's emergency fund. and if you can just say the children dot net, you can, you can find a link to that. and what we're now actually asking for is to be able to consider the ripple effects on other children around the world of school. i'm sure you've seen the reports about week prices skyrocketing and exacerbating the already severe hunger crisis in other parts of the world. and we've had so much general support
9:20 am
that are all black in ukraine, that we ask people to remember children who are going hungry, who live in conflict and out of the world at syria. and yeah, and then, and somalia. i mean, i've got colleagues in lebanon to told me just month to guy before the escalation, that's conflict that already families were having to cover daily food and take my home because of the economic crisis. and i now live in on gets 80 percent of its weight imports from russia and ukraine. so, you know, you can imagine what's gonna happen to countries like that and to families already dealing with extreme hunger. and so what we're really asking everybody is to consider that, you know, no child has to go home. great. a child that's living complet. thank you so much, emily. why from save the children in it live. if you crank thank you. and here's a round up of some other world news headlines. israeli police clashed with stone throwing palestinians near the alex and mosque in jerusalem. after friday mornings
