ah ah ah, this is didi of the news live from berlin. russia warns it will step up. missile strikes on teeth. ah air raid sirens and bomb blasts are heard in the capital after russia says ukraine carried i'd cross border airstrikes. keith is claiming it's me, solves help sink a russian warship also coming up with what you're taking here. he said a grade for my dog and they told him this is your grade now. and i just shot them

reports of atrocities committed by retreating russian troops. our reporter talked to survivors in the destroyed town of mckyrie, near keith and devastating floods kill hundreds in south africa. the cleanup is underway after deadly storms. why back neighborhoods leaving thousands homeless? we meet some of those affected by those funds. ah, i am pablo valise. welcome to the program. as russia's war on ukraine passes, it's 50th day. moscow says it will increase its missile attacks on keith. the warning comes after unverified russian claims that ukraine had carried. i'd cross border air strikes on villages in its territory. it also follows the sinking of russia's largest warship and the black sea air raid sirens have been sounding today across ukraine, including

a capital aah! 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. russia says it will step up its attacks. sir william mosher with regardless of the medical policy based high precision long range missiles hit, a military facility on the outskirts of keep the number and 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. let us is that it sama asking if it's also in retaliation for the sinking of this war ship the moskva, russia is 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. but this for th, from the southern port city of mary you, 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 horrible. 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. for more on the situation following those warnings of russian retaliation we spoke earlier to date of the reporter john phillip shells, who's in leave 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 it 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 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 africa, 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 had these have left the dis 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 and the eat and east are empty already are,

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 in the danbury region, and the coming days of 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. and philip 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 witness there. yeah, we visited a mockery for a small town in the key of region and sweet saw a horrible picture. so we saw incredible human suffering. people in the village

told us that they saw a russians shooting a band 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 report. 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. would you the worst that i had no idea what happened to my wife's marbles? 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 killed 53 people. a 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 and t ruins 90 percent of my car . if residents have left or been killed. egos, friends used to live in this house. he doesn't know what has become. oh, 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 near by eager, has more success. he finds an elderly man who still lives amongst all the destruction. he has hardly left the house since the insects begin russian. so just shut one of his neighbors on the street. they asked, what are you digging here? he said a grave for my dog. what they told him of this is your grave now. and they just shot him 3 weeks ago, mockery was liberated by the ukrainian army. since then, many volunteers have come to her with the clean up work, but the gruesome memories of the survivors will probably stay with them for ever. that was yon phillip shells reporting from macquarie's, 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 need of the reporter william glue,

croft explains ukraine's foreign minister dimitra co. eva 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 and 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 work horse 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. so what types of weapons and equipment does ukraine need? now? earlier we asked defense journalist him ripley who says it all depends on ukraine strategy. well, you've got to decide what ukranian in war angel. i'll there war aims to defend their cities and, and protect that their territory that they hold now. or is there an ambition to actually watch an offensive and drive the russians back from all the turret 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 provided them we 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 drive an attempt to drive the russians from the dumbass and from crimea. that would be

a major escalation of the war. with him, we have been hearing about 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 water was fought in this area. so it plays to the rustle 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 allow the russians to claim victory and open the way for some sort of negotiation face saving negotiation claim. you 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 you know that the ukrainians and the russians have been fighting st street in marietta, taking up several 1000 troops on either side. and that is, you know, hindering the ability, the russians to attack elsewhere. it is almost like the you can compare it to the battle of stalingrad in world war 2, where the, 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 ass walnut ukrainians, 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 a what effect of any could its loss have on the conflict? it's again, it's more symbolic episode. i mean, the russians have 20 or 30 warships in the backseat fleet. they completely out 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. that was defense journalist, him rightly talking to us earlier while children have been among those hardest hit by the war in ukraine. the united nation says here, the 2 thirds of all ukrainian children have fled their home 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 for. so how are children coping under the stresses of war? d. w reporter test of alta met one mother who fled ukraine with her young son. but back to the and now they are he in germany playing as if nothing was amiss. but just a few weeks ago, life changed dramatically. and his mother svetlana we wake up of the course. wish over listen when listen, show didn't. and the long been in neon desa 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 rome. now,

now they are safe in germany. but the images they saw a see it to them, memories. the boy is traumatized. that is not the analysis of picket the grown gear . when he hears loud noises, he asks if the russians have come here in the mouth if they are attacking us and then if they are coming to shoot us. and what we should do when he asks, 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 or $900.00. 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 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. he b beltran, good to day. he is 94 years old, but the impact of the war remains of consumers in redman as kinda and he galli this month. when you experience was a child, you asked scott for life and this 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 wild eva as a share, i'd love it. 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, but that he is he with me on the that everything that happens he is normal,

that he is safe. he said, no one will hurt in i as long as he is with me, so harsh now he has time to get used to everything was feel pretty brooklyn why they are slowly settling in germany. they wish the war would come to an end. and that some they, they can go back home to ukraine with so many ukrainian children, potentially suffering from war trauma. many teachers and caregivers may have to learn how to help them. earlier we asked psycho trauma tall, a g expert, maggie shower from the university of constance here in germany about what children like my car might be going through. well, the 1st reaction we just heard of this boy isn't pathologic. he was under threat, so we mobilized our body, we go into full activation and dis, elevated physiological 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. the 1st and 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 come children down and you need to soothe them and you need to bring them together with parents and adults who

are very good to prepare for making them come down. and then you have to give an orientation very clear answer, very limiting the confusion limiting distresses around them. and this is why you need to talk to their caregivers because they are the ones who are able to make sense to cope with the situation. and often children mirror their parents, when the parents are really upset. children can't count on that. she brings me on to my last question to you is, is there a difference in the treatment of say 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 life. if you have any children with a piece of memory,

least the college from the age of 5 or 6 years old, you can have them in treatment in drama treatment by themselves. they might, they remember this story is they remember the situations they've gone through and you play with them and you, you rehabilitate their hot and cold memory possibilities so that you can contextualize what happened is go spec in the past it has a space and the time and you can't in through turing night or day and in the adults . and you always want to identify between a spreader really, who can pass on trans generationally. they are trauma and stress reactions. be it men who act aggressively or be to women who are pregnant and to or who are having an high effect and who are very nervous when they are around children. so you want to support those adults in treatment that was german psycho trauma college

expert. maggie shower from the university of constance here in germany speaking to us earlier. well, here's a round up of some other world news headlines. israeli police clashed with palestinians at the alex and mosque in jerusalem after friday mornings ramadan. prayers is ready. security forces have been on high alert after a series of deadly palestinian st attacks. the site is revered by jews as the temple ma'am, to and muslims, as the noble sanctuary chinese social media users have posted images of shanghai police in hazmat suits, grabbing screaming residents from their apartments, waybill user. se authorities have taken over several residential buildings to quarantine cove at 19 patients. frustration has been mounting in shanghai or millions of households have been unlocked and since the end of march, south 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

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 are likely going to be troubling this region. for a long time. the destruction is visible in many parts of durban. thousands lost their houses, and help hasn't reached every one. like our corn, our house is on friday. some of us don't have jobs and no money, so we don't even know where we would like to not be okay. we have lost food, grocery, everything, even our clothes and property looks like we don't know what we're going to do. so many people have the idea of being pleading for assistance. i don't want to promise less less. morgan lewis dinning are called 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 touchy bed. my dad today now went mad a nibble because we have got no place to sleep. rescue operations by helicopters and away. as some places are still not accessible by roads, the death toll is likely to continue rising. the 1st 2 days we are all going for the risk using risk isn't just trying to make a difference in getting people out from the last 2 days. and i think the couple of days to come in, it's just party recoveries, sir. we all, we've all got that that, that urging us and that, that hope that we're still finding a few people alive, folks, yards just mostly body recoveries. back in the container depot, such in harry sancho and his team are still busy removing containers from the nearby highway to at least the traffic can flow again. ah, things won't get back to normal any time soon. the south african says,
