[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, russia warrens, it will step up. miss all strikes on cave. ah, air raid sirens and bomb blasts are heard in the capital after russia says ukraine carried out crows border air strikes. keith is claiming its missiles helped us in a russian warship also coming up. okay, and what are you taking here? he said

a grade for my dog. they told him this is your grade now. and i just shot more reports of atrocities committed by retreating. russian troops are reporter talks to survivors in the destroy town of mckyrie, near keith and devastating floods kill hundreds in south africa. the keynote is underway after deadly storms wipe out neighborhoods, leaving thousands homeless. we meet some of those affected by the floods ah, on pablo foley, as welcome to the program, as russia's war on ukraine passes its 50th day. moscow says it will increase it to miss all attacks on keep. the warning comes after unverified russian claims that ukraine had carried out cross border air strikes on villages and its territory. it also follows the sinking of a russian of russia's largest worship in the black sea. air raid sirens have been

sounding today across ukraine, including in the capital, awe, 50 days into the war, and this is still the wake up call and keith, heavy explosions were heard here over night. they said to be the most powerful, since russian forces pulled out of the region around the capitol hill progress. russia says it will step up its attacks sir william mitchell with the medical to see based high precision long range missiles hit, a military facility on the outskirts of keep the number and the scale of missile strikes against targets and key will increase in response to any attacks of a terrorist nature or sabotage on russian territory by the key nationalist regime. what is this the decoded, sama asking if it's also in retaliation for the sinking of this war ship, the moskva rushes acknowledged. the ship has been lost, but not that it was due to ukrainian missiles. either way, a big blow,

according to the pentagon. this is a cruiser. they only have 3 in this class, and it's basically designed for air defense. that's that, that's what the ship is designed to do, not unlike our own cruisers. so it's going to have an impact on their capabilities . certainly in the near term with this for th, from the southern port city of mario paul serves as a reminder of moscow's military might and brutality. with russia now focusing its attention on ukraine's east, mary, you, paul, would be key and connecting the southern and eastern france despite a strong russian presence. ukraine says the city hasn't for and yet the country's president used his nightly address to praise ukrainian resilience, yackel gushing if tunable fell to put it mildly, no one was sure that we would survive. every one sympathised. many advised us to

leave the country advised us to actually surrender to tyranny, but they didn't know. i see that he will me and they didn't know how brave ukrainians are, how much we value freedom, our opportunity to live the way we won't leave it dark yet or coachable some am we this war continues and ukrainians will need to show even more of that bravery if that repel the imminent russian onslaught in the east. well, for more on the situation following those warnings of russian retaliation we spoke earlier to date of the reporter, yan philip shells. his in live in western ukraine. good evening, western ukraine. there have been air raid alerts throughout the night and throughout the day in care for explosions were heard. sir, allegedly, a workshop outside of the city was said to some observer, say,

this could be in retaliation. attacks for alleged attacks on russian silent, of course, for the, the sinking of the russian flagship in the black sea. and nobody really saying that the fighting will be limited to the eastern regions in the near future, including artillery. it takes her for the moment. a major offensive in the eastern is expected, but also other parts of the country's 3rd, still get prepared for the worst in odessa, in the south of the country. a new city i visited for a few days a few days ago is also getting prepared for possible attacks. rights of those preparations underway, an afford this sad, these have left for this offensive in the east. had people been able to evacuate? some people have been able to to flee the region in the past days.

new evacuation corridors have been created. some of the villages, the smaller villages in the eat and east are empty already or but some people still try to flee from, from larger towns in the east's. i think everybody is expecting some major attacks and especially the don bass region in the coming days . the russians have for massively increased their troops and they have concentrated them in the don best region. the weather has been not so good. this might delay the attack of for, for some days. but everybody is getting prepared for the worst in the east. the coming days. yeah. phillip in the areas around cave where we've seen russian tramps leave already now. there's been more evidence of atrocities being committed. you've been to the area, tell us what you witnessed there. yeah, we visited a mockery for a small town in the key f region and suite saw

a horrible picture. so we saw incredible human suffering. people in the village told us that they saw a russians shooting a ban neighbors on the streets. and so just are more than $130.00 people at least were killed, say, according to the mayor. let's have a look at the reports. it's hard to believe that there is still a 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 that house and accused basil of taking pictures. they tied him up and left him outside in his tooth shed, hulu, but it was very cold, especially at night of. would you the worst that i had no idea what happened to my wife forbush. one day a soldier came and brought me my special medicine,

leaky. this was the moment when i understood that my wife was alive everywhere. it's a similar picture. neighbors of a sealant natalia tell us that in this neighbourhood alone, russian soldiers could 53 people. as 17 year old gro was allegedly raped 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 a place with more destruction and to with more human suffering than here in mackarath. 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 butch us 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 empty ruins, 90 percent off my car, if the residents have left or been killed. he goes, friends, seems to live in this house. he doesn't know what has become a. wow, ms. ellis, but we used to have

a calm and peaceful life here. this family was just renovating their house, that they were constructing a little summer cottage in their backyard. but you all it over there, you see the kindergarten, the dutch. what happened to all of it? says nasty shells. nearby, eager has more success. he finds an elderly men who still lives amongst all the destruction. he has hardly left the house since the attacks begin russian. so just shot one of his neighbors on the street. do you suppose they asked, what are you digging here? he said a grave for my dog. they told him this is your great now. and i just shot him 3 weeks ago, mockery of was liberated by the ukranian 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 yon phillip shells reporting ukraine's plight has prompted many countries to offer help. but when asked what they need,

most ukraine's leadership have repeated a singular refrain as detail. the report or william blue croft explains ukraine's foreign minister demetrius calais, but told natal last week that all his country was looking for is weapons. lots of them and more serious ones. now. so far, western allies have delivered equipment like anti tank, an anti aircraft, missiles alley, $17000.00 such weapons against tanks have come from nato members like the united states, natty kingdom, and germany. they seem to have proven highly effective against russian armor as have turkish made drones armed with air to surface missiles. the t p to drone has been a workhorse for ukrainian forces. the u. s. may also deliver hundreds of small fast drones called switch blades. that also go after armor. now, these sorts of lighter weapons have beat back russian forces,

making them downsize their war ambitions and contain their assault to ukraine's east. but to fully defeat the russian invasion, ukraine is said it's been hounding allies for heavier weapons, such as tanks, long range artillery, anti ship missiles, and helicopters. now some of these are on the list of the a $100000000.00 of new military aid that u. s. president joe biden recently approved western allies also trying to figure out if eastern european countries consent, older equipment that ukrainian troops are already familiar with. which newer stock could then replace the u. k. and the european union had been stepping up efforts, a total of 1500000000 euros is coming out of what the e calls it's piece, facility, a budget for equipment, medical supplies, and military aid. however, it's germany that's coming under pressure to do more right now. the government is deadlocked over sending heavy weapons for ukraine. foreign minister alena burbock and many others have come out in favor,

but whether ukraine starts getting german tanks will ultimately be a decision made by chancellor a lot shells. well for more, let's talk to tim ripley. he's a defense journalist and writer, and joins us from lancaster in england. i am welcome to d. w. now what weapons and equipment would you say? ukraine needs the most right now? well, you've got to decide what ukranian war, angel. although war aims to defend their cities and, and protect their that their territory that they hold now. or is there a ambition to actually watch an offensive and drive the russians back from all the church they occupy from the don bass and retake crimea? those are 2 different types of objectives and they require 2 different types of weapons. at the moment. the western allies, nato u. s. u k, have have provided them equipment to do the 1st thing. they have not offered up

heavy weapons tanks. fighter planes attack helicopters. so the ukranian can take the offensive and dr. attempt to drive the russians from the don bass and from crimea. that would be a major escalation of the war. with him, we have been hearing about the, the looming russian assault in ukraine's east and south. how do you see a panning out? well, this is a, a, an area where the russian advantages in tanks and artillery will, will give them a, an edge over the ukrainians in a way that they didn't when they were fighting around kia in the cities and in the, in the towns. this is open terrain. it was famously fought over by that the german army in world war 2 and the soviet army battle of curse, the biggest tank battle world war 2 was fought in this area. so it plays to the russell strength, they can maneuver, they can try and surround what's left of the ukraine army and do what they've done in mary, a poll to other ukrainian units in the area. and they are trying to,

in foot to defeat on the ukrainian army, to force them to agree to terms or, or allow the russians to claim victory and open the way for some sort of negotiation face saving negotiation. tammy just mentioned mario, paul, there. how important is the capture of the city? well, an analysis of a symbolic, a sign of a ukrainian resistance. but from the russian point of view, it frees up tens of thousands of troops to take part in offensive offensives elsewhere in the country. at the moment that the ukrainians and the russians have been fighting st street in merry poll, taking up several 1000 troops on either side. and that is at, you know, hindering the ability, the russians to attack elsewhere. it is almost like the or you can compare it to the battle of stalingrad in world war 2, where they, the, the german forces were fought to the last in stone grant to give the, the german forces elsewhere in russia, a chance to regroup. and that's what that you training him doing. and mary apple,

that every time every day that are in maryville has given their defenses elsewhere in the country. a chance to build up. and briefly, if you could now russia, that black sea flagship is, are now under water, the mosque of what effective any code its loss have on the conflict. it's again, it's more symbolic episode. i mean, the russians have been 20 or 30 warships and the black sea fleet, they completely number the ukrainians. and they're not going to be challenged in the black sea, even with the loss of the most drug. but it is a morale booster for the ukrainians, rather than a military sort of impact on the russian fleet. tim ripley, thanks for sharing your expertise on detail. you welcome. you're welcome. children have been among those hardest hit by the war in ukraine. the united nation says nearly 2 thirds of all ukrainian children have fled their homes. since the invasion began. that's 4800000 children displaced within weeks. unicef,

describe the speed and magnitude of the displacement as incredible of those who remain in their homes, many face food shortages and school closures. that's on top of the extreme trauma of those trapped in besieged cities like murder, you pull. so how are children coping under the stresses of war? he told the reporter tess about met one mother who fled ukraine with her young son . but back to the and now they are he in germany, the playing as if nothing was amiss. but just a few weeks ago, life changed dramatically in my car and his mother svetlana we wake up of because the sh over listen when listen show didn't and the long bill in the on that so in black 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 flee. they travelled full 100 kilometers, passed devastated towns and villages into romeo. now they are safe in germany, but the images they saw a seed to them, memories. the boy is traumatized. that is not the analysis of clicking the grown gear when he he is loud noises. he asks if the russians have come here in the mouth if they are attacking us, if them, if they are coming to shoot us, and what we should do medea he asked, ah, do we have to hide? do we maybe have to warn others? one of them was not doing you probably need shelling and destruction. this was also the experience of many german children during the 2nd world. war. paused who doesn't want to give his last name was one of them. he was only 10 when he saw the

bombs full either 90 middle hours. when i went out and watched them fly and all of a sudden it went crush hill and the bomb hit the field for. that was quite a blow or so bright then for the 1st time and thank god, never again. i felt such trembling in the legs that i could not control myself. the beauty passion, good to day, he is 94 years old. but the impact of the war remains of consumers in redmond has kinda and he galley this month. when you experience was a child, you asked scott for life friendliness and that cannot be changed. it can be suppressed a forgotten, but it comes back and dreams. it comes back in pictures, it is in the world on eva as a shadow, read, i want to split lana and her son. meanwhile, a doing that best to cope with the uncertainty, set on as a doctor and wants to get her license. her son is due to start kindergarten,

soon could you get when right now i want to give him the opportunity to settle in the. i want to show him that everything has changed is that he is he with me, the model that everything that happens he is normal, that he is safe and he said no one will hurt. and i as long as he is with me, she'll crash now. he has time to get used to everything was feel pretty brooklyn. while they're slowly settling in germany, they wish the war would come to an end. and that some they, they can go back home to ukraine. well let's be glad to maggie shower head of the center of excellence for psycho trauma talerie at the university of constance here in germany. hi, and welcome to d w. and my 1st question is, how do you treat children who've experienced trauma, like those have been through a war? well, the 1st reaction we just heard of this boy isn't pathologic. he was under stress.

so we mobilize our body, we go into full activation and dis, elevated physiologically. arousal, then leads to hot memory associations that evolve in that moment. so here again, what we've heard then we feel again what we felt then is meleganta, our sensory perceptions get burned into memory. and if you have several of those activations that lead to, to a high threat, then you might not be able to link them very well in time and space anymore digger digger d. contextualize. and they come back as fragments. and only then you need treatment . once you're suffering from those consequences, maggie, what advice would you give to people who encounter children from war zones who may or may not show signs of trauma say, for example, teachers and schools? yeah. first,

an important information is that we need to bring down our physiological response. we need to bring down the heart beat. the heart rate is a very good predictor for later problems. so you need to calm children down and you need to soothe them and you need to bring them together with parents and adults who are very good prepared for making them come down. and then you have to give them orientation that very clear answers, very limiting the confusion limiting distresses around them. and this is by you need to talk to their caregivers because they are the ones who are able to make sense to cope the situation. and often children mirror their parents, when the parents are really upset. children can't count down dark. she brings me on to my last question to you is, is there a difference in the treatment of as a children and adults? yeah, there is a little bit of

a different depending on the age. if you're very small children, you need to, to treat and help and support the parents because they just depend on them. they can't make sense in the 1st one that 1st a 2nd year of their life. if you're f l, the children with episodic memory, least they call it from the age of 5 or 6 years old. you can have them in treatment in drama treatment by themselves. they might and they remember these stories. they remember the situations they've gone through and you play with them and you, you rehabilitate their hot and cold memory, a possibility so that you can contextualize what happens. it goes back in the past, it has a space and a time and he can't in through turing night or day and in the adults. and you always want to identify a bit who is the spreader? really? who can pass on trans generationally?

they had trauma and stress reactions. be it men who act at aggressively or be to women who are pregnant and to or who are having an high effect and who are very nervous when they're around dead children. so you want to support those adults in treatment psychologist maggie shower specialist in childhood trauma, thank you for joining us on d. w here. thank you. says africa is still cleaning up after one of the biggest natural disasters in the country's history. devastating floods triggered by 2 days of intense rainfall earlier this week of killed more than 340 people in the region surrounding the port city of durban. our correspondent adrianne creech brings us this report from up, les look like toys, but they are heavy shipping containers moved away by floss, sachi, hurry,

suncoast companies store 1500 containers at this depot. they are now trying to recover them. what they added to this sir atrocity is the looting deleted earth offices to sol computers. they basically cut all the cables from these refers on fringes of microwaves, area spares, whatever was there, whatever they could sell was it to be visually took? it's hard, so oh, hard work. you know, but it is what's what it is we just have to label from you. but the 1st question for the team is, where do you even start? you can see this massive destruction and the force of nature right here. the economic consequences of these natural disasters. they are very visible now, but they're likely going to be troubling this region for a long time. the destruction is visible in many parts of gibbon. thousands lost

their houses and help hasn't reached every one. nic alcorn, our house is i'm is trying to, some of us don't have jobs and no money so we don't even know where we would like to not the younger that we have lost food, grocery, everything, even our clothes and property looks like we don't know what we are going to do so many people have the idea of being a bleeding, persistent that we don't want a promise. that's morgan lewis and gaining accord, hey, efforts are very, very, very bad because i have no place to sleep. i'm sleeping, i'm standing like this, but i can sleep. so i can't do nothing my, my children, my dad children now when my dad near bassett, because we have got no place to sleep. rescue operations by helicopters are and away as someplace as are still not accessible by rote. the death toll is likely to continue rising. the 1st 2 days we were all going for the risk using risk using just trying to make a difference in getting people out for last 2 days. and i think the couple of is to

come in, this is buddy recoveries. so we all, we've all got that urging us and that, that hope that we still find a few people who love folks, you know, it's just mostly body recoveries. beckett, the container depot sachi in our resume current is t must still busy removing containers from the nearby highway. so at least the traffic can flow with get things won't get back to normal any time soon. the south african says, but at least fortunately, his company was in short here watching g w news. here's a reminder of our main story. air raid sirens and explosions have been heard across ukraine as the war passes its 50th day. russia said it would increase missile strikes on keith after accusing ukrainian forces of carrying out cross border air
