e. let phase after russian energy miss babel began her visitor to boucher, the town nick, chief. that was a sight of widespread atrocities when it was under the russian occupation. she said, germany would help bring the perpetrators to justice with you cannot incline by his talk. we can make a small contribution by supporting this investigation into war crimes, making crimes against humanity understood as the international community. we must collect evidence arise and ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable heater . so we owe that to the victims of the abbey, as in fear, in of fun surety of the german foreign ministers. the visit comes a day after the president of the european council. witness the devastation of russian war at 1st hand on a walkabout of a desa. as the city came under intense miss on attack. more buildings reduced to rubble. the port city of odessa, after it was pounded by russian missile strikes. the missiles struck on the same

day that european council president charles michelle visited odessa. the e official was forced to take shelter when air raid sirens went off. president lansky said russia's assault makes clear it's disdain for europe. lose a joke in his nightly address. he was hopeful that ukraine was one step closer to each membership. oh, they're well aware that this war is not only for our freedoms, for, for the freedom of all europeans. for me to go, we expect to receive a positive response in june regarding ukraine's application for you. candidate status in the town of mc alive, ukrainian soldiers are regrouping after russia's most recent attempt to capture the area. ukraine will need more weapons to be able to fend off further attacks legitimacy. so marlow with the whole people have been fighting for 3 months. and

we're ready to go further because we need a victory, but we'll fight for it and complete any task. oh yeah, the end to live with all the more resources are needed, maybe because of human resources, for now there'll be no one to fight law. so we need drones and we need artillery, and the beliefs of the court said, is good at a sort of the new political way back in odessa, firefighters and soldier has worked tirelessly through the night to pretend to believe that a shopping mall caused by several missile attacks, ukrainian officials said russia used new hypersonic missiles fired from a plain will they w correspondent, a funny, fisher is in key even updated me on the situation in the ukrainian capital even though the situation is quite calm for now they've been very, very regular air raid sirens the over the past couple of days and the conversations that people have over the coffee break because some restaurants have reopened supermarkets open as well. you see how much to war is integrated in

a way in the data conversations, talking about whether is it possible that is going to be a nuclear attack on ukraine or asking themselves on which flow is your apartment? you think it's safe to sleep on that flow. so you realize how really this entire ongoing ward is raging now for 3 months is taking a toll on people here mentally as everything is just so unpredictable. and as you have just seen in that report, once again, civilian infrastructure has been hit in odessa, a shopping mall, in fact, a military spokesperson there was seeking an ironic line. are they saying really, is a shopping center, extremely dangerous? is it really necessary to hit that? so people are not just fed up with the situation that they really don't understand why civilians are the targets here of russian forces, but also they grow exhausted by the ongoing vote. not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow. i am,

i go to wake up the next day without any shelling in them in the residential building. ryan, this is how people look at the war here in keith. and now the german foreign minister is in cave after a couple of months of frosty relations between the 2 countries. how significant is unavailable box visit. it is very much significant, given the fact that she's the 1st member of the gym, a government who is visiting keith today, but also given the heightened alerts that there is in key. if you cannot tell that much of what she's going to do today, simply to not jeopardize through security, but also the security of the delegation. what we can say the very 1st stop was in boucher that place just about 30 kilometers here from the capital. that gain said, notoriety for atrocities have been committed there. about 400 debt bodies to be found in a way that just really just horrendous to describe, let alone at witnessing of the people who have an x you in these people. and it's

russia to stand accused of these potential crimes. now they've up to 4 minutes to make very clear during that visit in butcher, that there must be justice. so that this is, these are crimes that need to be investigated because this could happen thought to any one of us. so it was very important for her to show support a that germany standing on the side of ukraine, even though there was some sort of a diplomatic ro, miley put over the course of the past a couple of weeks as president sty, my german present time. i was an invited recently as a result, german chancellor did not come to ukraine yet, but that seems to have been sorta via a phone call between sty, my and zalinski recently. so actually everybody expects that it's not going to be the last visit that he's just a german for a minister for now. but that also german government in the light of germans, a chancellor schultz is going to pay a visit here. and by that show support for the ukraine and people here on the

ground in ukraine. i thank you for that for funny, for sure, for shot. and keith western miller, she analysts say the russian invasion is made little progress over recent days of the front line has shifted slightly as the 2 sides trade patches of territory. many places in the path of the advancing and retreating armies are empty of residence. but some people are staying behind, hoping for peace as t w's mathias building i discovered in a town near mc alive. a village you raised rebushka is right on the front line. virtually no house remains and damaged the village ones at 2000 inhabitants. now, only a handful are left. i luna, lucian ker, his one of them from us that you fear it's com, 9, korea we're resting a little bit a few days ago. it was terrible because the bombs were falling,

shooting fire, things falling. then when a bomb fell down in my courtyard 12 meters from my bedroom, there was a loud bang and fired. i'm surprised my house didn't burn down. that's how it goes here. what ducks yoke, what she calls com means just that fighting is less intense. the village was overrun by the russians and then re taken by the ukrainians. yeah, no, i don't judge the soldiers, neither the russians nor the ukrainians. it's their fault. they're forced to do this. she lives here with her son was mentally ill. she says she has not left because she fears not being able to take care of them elsewhere. when the shelling starts, they hide inside the home school. do you? this is our little corner. the i'm afraid is basements. i was told there are

basements where i can go. 3, we've been here in our street. a woman was buried while she was in her basement. i'm not going the need for the favorite. when shelling stop, this is where we sit together. meanwhile she tries to make the best of the situation. oh, don't i. so for a lover, that's where the bomb dropped her. yes, there was a big crater. oh, i filled it with earth and planted potatoes there. helena was born during world war 2. no, she spends the night from the shell to houses take you severe hits, but unlike others, it's still standing. and she is maintaining the spirit. here who i am holding on is growing up. our life was always modest mind, but it wasn't bad. what did they?

i pray to god that all this is overseen. i leena survived road would to as a toddler, now it 80. she plans to survive this war as well. for his, a brief look at some stories away from the war in ukraine will start in the u. k. were prince charles has read the traditional a speech at the state opened to parliament for the 1st time is mother queen elizabeth pulled out of the event on the advice of her doctor's 96 year old monica cancelled several public events recently and raising questions about her health these 43 people have been killed in clashes between bible gangs in a jail in ecuador. relatives have gathered to wait for news of their loved ones and police have taken control of the site in the city of santo domingo. they also seized firearms, explosives and other weapons. more than $100.00 inmates reported to be on the run. south korea's new president was called on north korea to give up it's nuclear

weapons in exchange for massive economic aid, conservative you. and so he all made the offering anti service wearing in and during his campaign the former chief prosecutor pledge to take a more hard line approach towards the north. ah, turkish president frederick typo one has pledged not to send syrian refugees back to their home country. a turkey has taken in more than 3 and a half 1000000 syrians who fled the civil war opposition parties have been pressurizing him to start repatriated, middle of a sudden form of philippines. dictator, ferdinand marcus is sent to become the country's nest leader, ferdinand macos junior. his poster is poised to win the presidential election with twice as many of votes as his main rival is expected victory of sparked protests in the capitol, manila with demonstrators alleging voting irregularities. candidates notice bung bomb. i'm released a statement in which he asks people to judge me, not by my ancestors, but by my actions running mates et cetera, deterred

a carpio daughter, be controversial outgoing president. he's like me to become vice president. critics rica regard a mock hostetter to a victory as a blow to democracy and civil rights. ah, late on monday, the name of the presidential election winner was clear. shouts rang out for a b. b. m. the nickname for ferdinand bung. marcus junior. as news of the election results spread, his supporters took to the streets to celebrate ah, the candidate himself reached out to his supporters. i want to thank you for all you have done for us. there are thousands of you out there, volunteers, parallel groups. political leaders that have cast their lot with us because

of their belief in our message of unity because of their belief in the candidates his when cement his families returned to power in the philippines. following the revolution that toppled his late father in 1986. the elder ferdinand marcos ruled the philippines as a dictator for 2 decades at his tenure was infamous for its corruption and brutality. for many, it was unthinkable that the marco's clan would ever run for the highest office again. after returning from exile, the marcus is returned to public life in the philippines with several family members taking on political positions. many of bong bongs, younger supporters don't connect him to his father's crimes. but i mean a bubble on thought that we believe that b,

b m is starkly different from his father, the bbm, so that ferdinand bung bung. mark. chris ran his election campaign on the promise of unity, but has failed to explain his policy plans in detail. analysts warren, that his administration will most likely mean more strong men postering and less democratic freedoms and transparency. will date of new asia correspond. and gail moto says in the philippines, he told me more about why voters seemed unconcerned about restoring. a member of the marcus found me to power. ferdinand. marcus junior appeals to a particularly young audience, an audience that simply does not remember of the atrocities the killings, the corruption of the regime, of the father of the president, that is most likely going to make this race here, found an marcus junior. and the reason for that of experts have told me, are twofold. on the one hand,

if ever since the family was ousted as your some 40 years ago, they're simply be that the memory of that iraq, that dictatorship was not kept alive. and secondly, you had a huge media social media campaign, white watching the history that was basically in favor of my costume. you're now. right. and so does the philippines know what to expect from bump bump residency? like we've seen in the required a lot of promises were made to air, but also in no specifics given what is actually going to happen. so he wants to booster shots. he want to bring down prices, the philippines, up in a hard hit, as many countries in southeast asia, or by the pandemic, and an indicator of what is to expect may also be that he's teamed up with surrender to the daughter of the current strong man who has ruled the philippines with an iron fist and many expect at that kind of

a rule to continue in this way. now you mentioned that the importance of social media and your, your 1st to answer it does seem increasingly important and has dental elections. project outlined was why that it was absolutely breathtaking when you take a closer look at when one expert explain to me that many suspect behind this white washing machinery one read really as to say, hundreds and hundreds of watts and people boosting tweeds and driving and misinformation campaign is the, is the market dentist, and that's what it least what they suspect, although markers himself markers junior denies that. but the very fact that he's, he may be behind that shows how the system can be changed from and really a terrible dictatorship that people today when you ask them. remember, a golden iraq of stability and richness. they say the marcus family is rich and has

brought stability and we'll bring that again. so that's, that's one of the reasons. and of course, another thing on social media was that opponents were badly bashed there. the mean of all opponent, lenny operate off for, for instance, was suspected to be backed by communist rebels. there were a sexist, her falls on the on social media on her. so real antique campaign and a white washing campaign and the combination of that has helped markers tremendously good talking to gay oak, thank you so much for joining us today. the correspondent gale got matters in manila, only 7 people have been killed in protest against the shrunken government handling of the economic crisis. i missed. i'm a hinder roger poxel and i asked his resignation on monday, but his brother, president, a got a by roger pox is refusing to step down a curfew is been announced and the ministry given orders are given powers excuse me,

to detain people without warrant the protests are continuing, despite this, after a day of violent flashes, but killed several people and enjoyed hundreds and uneasy, thom has returned to the streets of columbia. the island nation is under go few till redness day. the military and police now have emergency pause to d, dean beeper and search homes without warden for more than a month. now demonstrators have demanded the designations of the raja bucks abroad . those at the helm of government for the mismanagement of the economic crisis with but on monday,

weeks of peaceful protests give be to violence when government support dose attacked activists. just oddly tow melinda dodge bucks a step down as prime minister his dad's residence in columbus was stone, dodge park. so was evacuated by the military and moved to a safe location. oh, some protesters and opposition leaders. he'll continue to defy the go few more now the only condemned the brutal attack padded out by good darby. i sat on the protest attest across the country to the such as this one o 2 testers. i'm now demanding the president good job in art for new his by the lead design. something the president refused. setting the stage for the

standoff to continue. so with no prime minister who's running the government's well, i put that to mon on aria sinca, who's an editor of the news magazine. him out south asian. so yeah, we've had a quite an eventful 24 hours. and this is our question for the moment that didn't go to either roger, still impala. and the designation of the e m means that a new cabinet has to be appointment. the parliament was adjourned last by day until the 17th. but that would be the speaker has requested the president reconvene recon me in the body part of the media. so it's still very much a developing situation. all right, and so will it be the outgoing are prime ministers, a party who run so well that what, what, how is that going to happen? how are you going to put a cabinet together of people of people that the civilians trust? yeah, i think that's, that's again,

a very important point. the people do not trust the current current government. this is why they've been out on the streets for that off, you know, over over a month now, protesting. so any government that has previous, you know, lead allegiance with the government will be, i feel rejected by the people. so it's going to be a very tough you know, couple of days and a couple of these for free lunch politically as well. right. and let's talk about the, the crisis. the country is in the moments you know, around the world. lots of countries are suffering, they economic effects are things like cov, it, and the cost of a fuel. if this what's going on in sri lanka, or is this about economic mismanagement and corruption? yeah, i mean you have to do it, right. that's no argument that the pen let me has history very hard. you know,

along that i do, stumbled towards that i was, but there have been other factors like what you just mentioned. economy mismanagement by the government, which led to the current crisis and the current depleted state of the foreign exchange rate. so now the government acted against the found economy policies and the advice of free lunch. i mean, we can go to the sounds like the fertilize the been the artificial inflation of the b by the central bank. you know, these, these have facilitated the sizes and now we don't have, you simply don't have dollars to be for essential. ready imports and sheila has, has become like of course, retail, you know, of, of what not. so that's the kind of state you know, that's the kind of say that day and right now i will thank you for joining us and outlining that so clearly for us that model. and i think from him out, sensation magazine, thank the war in ukraine is having an impact on the country's universe is leaving

money damaged and their research programs disrupted a front government program which is already help scientists in places like syria, yeoman and afghanistan is now providing grants to ukrainian academics, it abuse a sonia follicle, that ukrainian, or researchers when i working in leo the cloth bene, university in leo. it's known for its programs in science and medicine, as well as it's research facilities. helena could see at silver and the tardies winkle arrived here in march from ukraine to sleep. a lot of the biologists and long time colleagues that fled cliff along with the children during the russian bumping even children, the lab, the harrowing events unfolding back home are never, far from their minds. wasn't that on the campus. and i was no way if i begin every morning my schooling to the news and checking my parents and my husband and ukraine are okay, because i, but i also have to use this opportunity being here in the you ensures that my

children are safe, it makes me feel less guilty. oh yeah, it's important to be able to continue doing scientific work and keep my mind busy. it helps preserve my mental health over what the price of all that say. yes boy, 2nd was but them. and then as that all of you, the continuing warden ukraine, has meant that like helena and natalia scientists and ph. d students are increasingly seeking refuge on foreign campuses, especially in france. and then so somebody on recent years, scientists from around the world who faced serious threats to the work into the lives have come to france, thanks to a special government program. but now the focus has shifted to ukraine with the program. it's providing emergency funding to help host ukrainian scientists in french research institutes like this one, natania and helena about of a cutting edge european research project indian o. learning new techniques. the

study of nanoparticles and the impact on cell cultures. the mr. detect and treat cancerous tumors without the harmful effects of chemo or radiation therapy and see from them. but it's not all about work. to be the scientists stick a day off from the campus to explore the city of liam, along with the children. the sites you still memories of their own home city and what they left behind in. what is the weight of yard the course of the muse, yet the course, but you are my optimist. you and i really hope and believe that we will return to cuba with social. we absolutely need to go back in the more because most of my life is there. you are. who are you the when that does happen, natania and helena plan to use the know how they picked up and leo to help the development of research in ukraine. a space that only poses a diplomatic rift between germany, him, ukraine, appears to be healing. were of
