to shift will they w correspondent, m a c f. as in levine in west and ukraine. he told us more about presidents alliance. his claim that russian troops are being pushed back. well, these 4 villages around harkins might not seem so significant, but keep in mind that harkins is ukraine 2nd largest city. it was a very important city before the war broke out. it's been under constant bombardment by russian forces since the beginning. and what we're seeing here is in ukrainian terms, what they hope to be a mirroring of what we saw in key of the capital city, where the russian forces had almost completely surrounded the city and then were pushed out village by village until they completely retreated. now why harkey is so important there if there was a 2nd pushback of russian forces around harkey is because it's in the east, but it's not part of the ardie russian occupied territories in the east. and as

zalinski has already said before, he is offered a russia, a kind of ceasefire, if they would agree to go back to the territories that they already defacto controlled before the recent invasion. so those would be the terms for a peace agreement if they could push a russian forces back away from areas important ukrainian areas like harkey into the areas that have been under siege already since 2014, when russia 1st became militarily involved in ukraine and so i'm in a safe now you end monitor say more than 200 children have been killed in this war and will them 400 injured. and unicef says 92 thirds of ukrainian children have been forced to flee their homes account for internally displaced. people in western ukraine is trying to meet the needs of school age. children whose lives have been offended. a correspondent in manuel shall pay them a visit. it takes a village to raise a child and all times are no exception. human events. frankie asked in western

ukraine, locals have mobilize resources and manpower to give young displaced children. a safe haven martin and some friends sat at his safe space with the support of antioch mercy call. when the worst started to we really wanted to make a bigger contribution and to ever saw so many people who are new to our cd. it with the families and, and we also saw there was a big need in taking care of the kids while parents to trying to figure out their life here in our city. and together with my friends who is there in education area . ah, we are open to this school camp disco camp brings a semblance of normality back to the lives of these children. to all of them miss home may, could i young? we play dr. and hairdresser, with my friends, graham, i want to go home. i'm from keith taylor, when it filled the j. o r. my grandmother lives here. are you

a we arrived on the 3rd day of war here at 10 pm fully or 30 then you really? i miss my friends. you very cheddar czar did always jamari. my name's my name's sophia, i'm from china here. i miss my friends that always if despite coming from very different places and not always sharing the same language or cultural background, children here quickly adapt collegial when kids from different parts of ukraine talked to each other. it's very good as they share experiences, isabel lots from eastern and central ukraine speak russian, but now they're trying to speak ukrainian sometimes with a funny accent, but it's good. they're trying beyond the civil linings. the children are still experiencing the trauma flow. something educators also try to address children need

to talk by themselves about this. so they, they would sell as okay. we stayed in their bomb shelter for a week and then they start opening up or we, we, we lived under like many c rants. and then we traveled here, so they are aware and for this particular reason we have every week, art therapy sessions was now recertified psychologists and that they work with them through therapy, through art, through therapy for them to express themselves across ukraine. similar initiatives are tackling children's needs while they alleviate to plato for them. they cannot replace the safety of their homes, they have lost let's get more on the plight of her children in this war. from a toby freak a who speaks for the un children's fund. he recently returned from ukraine and joins us from katara in south africa. welcome to d. w. and what are the, what would you say are the main challenges facing displaced, ukrainian,

children at the moment? yeah, i mean i think the main challenge is the highlights it in your point just now is that, is that desperation for a semblance of normality for sort of normal childhood you're playing with with all the children are playing with trusted adults and we've had children who have been exposed to the direct horror of war. we've had children who are displaced from their homes, which in itself is massively traumatic but also leaving all this behind, leaving extended family members behind. so it's critical that they get psychological 1st aid psycho social counseling or when necessary, but also just having that semblance of normality been providing early childhood development kits recreation kits to shelters. the places where despise people are living just to provide some opportunity for the children to be together to play together. and then that makes a big difference. and we saw in the report of the various provision for children who suffered this trauma. would you say that the general picture and this will

you know, i mean there is provision for children to provide psychological. so pull both both offline but also online. they're all, they're all systems in place and use that works with child protection authorities across the country. i was in a town in the southeast, quite close to the front lines where people for many of other areas were coming out . and we will close the top digital stories that you identified. you may need sort of more specialized support as quickly as we can. but also providing emotional support for any child coming out of that situation and then a child who has been displaced. it's hard for adults to deal with these kind of traumatic events. how are you finding that that parents are teaching, telling their children about what's happening and why they have to leave their friends in their schools in the homes? yet it's extremely difficult full for adults, particularly of the mothers who are, who are traveling, who are fleeing areas with children and extended family members. and they are going to a number of, of mothers who told me about different sort of tactics so to speak,

that they use like telling children they're on a, on a trip, not to look out the window that this is all temporary. and if i say doing anything, they can't shield their children from the horrors of war, but at the same time they're exposed to or they're trying to deal with the war themselves as incredibly stressful. and i've met many women who are really struggling to find that balance with i can count, but also provide to support that, that children need as best they can. so long term are we are these children likely to see a fax of this war despite over the therapy when they eventually do return to some sort of post will i'm normality you know, i mean, i think the horace of all we live, we live with people forever to some degree, but on a more positive note, we do know from other situations other conflicts that children are resilient, that with some form of normal childhood, again, they can recover and they can get back to, to their lives and develop again. but yes, the show a number of those children up,

the sensitive children need more specialized care to deal with issues such as post traumatic stress disorder. and, but the hope is that children can recover, they just need that and, and see they need peace. they need a normal childhood to go to school again and to be with their friends. good talking to you. thank you so much for that to be freaking from unicef. let's take a look at some of the other stores making headlines today. fragile sources of open an investigation into torture allegations against interpol president are mad nasa al. right. you see the case has been filed against the top or united arab emirates official by 2 britons. they were detained in the emeralds before al racy was elected president of the world policing agency based in france in november of last year. police in our media have detained more than 60 people during protests in the capitol. hundreds, march through year van calling for the prime minister's resignation. and the cold

question was, has faced a criticism for signing a peace deal with neighboring address by john in 2020, after more than 6 weeks of war. azure by john claim. several territories from armenia. who all's richest man, even musk says he would lift twitters ban on former us president donald trump. mr. musk is buying the social media platform for $44000000000.00 a twitter band. and donald trump falling last year's riots that the u. s. capital, citing concerns if he could incite further violence. international news broadcast al jazeera says there is ready, troops are shot and killed. one of their journalists in the occupied westbank, sharyn, abu o'clock had been covering on his railey military rate in the, at jeanine refugee camp alger that al jazeera. so she was shot while wearing oppress flak jacket and accuses israeli forces of deliberately targeting is ready. prime minister natalie bennett refutes this thing. the veteran reporter was

probably killed by palestinian gunfire. get more from d. w, corresponded to tanya crabtree in jerusalem. welcome time here. and what more do we know the state where suddenly a very our shocking event or the exact circumstances of what happened this morning in the palestinian of, in, in that in the noise of the occupied was been unlocked. he had clear the initial investigations now just starting. now the news spoke this morning on that al jazeera correspondent and colleague as sharina, aclu was killed a while, as he said, covering and israel army operation in the janine refugee camp there. and they're conflicting reports about what happened now. the palestinian ministry of pals, her said she was killed by a gunshot in her head. she died soon afterwards as also a 2nd. palestinian journalist was in a group of journalists there, covering,

or who was shot in the back, or this a statement that he is said to be in stable condition. now the cutter based ultra 0 network problem, she worked for many, many years, has named israel for, for the death of, for their reporter. the israeli military has said in a statement, they're denying that they have targeted a journalist and they are saying they're looking into the possibility that journalists were hit by palestinian gunmen. however, there were other palestinian journalists there in a, in a group of journals say, have said as eye witness, given eye witness accounts to the a pin, use agency. and also saying that there were clearly marked as press or with, you know, blue or black jackets. right. and what is the investigation into that likely to report while we understand that there's really foreign minister

has that or has offered to the palestinian authority, at least in a statement that there should be a join pathological investigation into the said death as he are said to establish what happened and that journalist must be protected in conflict urns. we are waiting to hear whether such a joint investigation or will actually happening happen. these really are, mia has started an initial investigation as we understand. but of course, you know, there are a lot of reactions still coming in. and since the morning we heard from the un special envoy to the middle east or when it's land or so calling for an investigation, be heard or from the us ambassador to to israel. or she was also you as a citizen, that there needs to be an investigation. and therefore of course, a lot of shock among her colleagues in ramallah, but also in on the foreign press in the press and to reach him because he was a very well known very or well established and very experienced journalist covering

here for the arabic language channels georgia 0 for many, many years. okay, thank you for that with tonya tonya kramer in jones. well, thank you too, sir lanka. next ren authorities have been given orders to crack down on writers following this week's unrest. several people have diving clashes in recent phases, pro government groups of tant protestors calling for the resignation of the president. go to buy a roger pack so they blame him for a dead crisis that's left to lanka, obese or lanchen economy in turmoil. his brother, the prime minister, resigned on monday and has gone into hiding a show of force in the capital, colombo with troops now authorized to shoot any one deemed to be taking part in the violence that's gripped sri lanka since monday. that's when sean's like this began unfolding supporters of sri lanka,

as ruling party attacking, antique government, demonstrators, the opposition people's liberation front planes. now former prime minister ma hinder roger pack. so for the shift in goshen had moved. all protests were peaceful protests, there was no violence, there was no rioting. the protests were aimed at specific demands of the people. the mug, when former prime minister manned a raj, a pox of launched a planned attack on these peaceful protests, he should have known there would be a reaction to that. my luck, sheila does allison saga product luca lama. but the premier, quitting has fail to quell anger over a spiraling economic crisis. protestors want his brother, president, go to bay a raj, a poxy scene here on the right to also step down. all these demonstrators

have gathered outside the presidential office in colombo, despite massive security presence. they're determined to make their voices heard right now moving this little donna, this struggle is being pushed in a different direction after the inhumane incidence. this week the government is trying to turn our peaceful protest into a violent struggle. we experienced that yesterday, and we're seeing that on social media. but we believe we can only win this fight through non violent, peaceful protest. oh hassan law, but i'm not doing correctly. for now, a tense con prevails as troops set up checkpoints and patrol the streets, but their presence is also raising fears of a military takeover if 3 lancaster political crisis isn't resolved soon. as take a look of what this set means with pie here. so to set up on a mutiny,

he had the center for policy alternatives and joins us from mr. lankin capital columba, welcome to the w. and the country has been in turmoil for months and now was received turned badly. is this the government to, to find a way out of this crisis? well, when you say is this the government at the present moment? the government comprises on the, the president. since the prime minister resigned all the ministries are also now without ministers. so what the president has to do is to either select a prime minister get that person confirmed and get a cabinet also confirmed by parliament and then resign or he resigns and let the speaker takeover and parliament to do what is just constitutionally provided to do right so, so given that the strength of feeling against the, the president at the moment, is he like peter to choose that 1st course? well, he seems adamant that he must remain in office. but the dilemma that he faces is to

find a prime minister who is willing to work with him and you know, who will command the support of the house of parliament. that's the key question. if he continues in office, the protests will continue because their original demand and the continuing demand is, is that he leaves office and that the raj bucks or dentistry is not represented in government. so do you see him clinging on or will he ultimately face the inevitable? and is he just sort of looking for a place to, to, to run to well, i mean, it might be the latter in so far as the protests have to intensify, you have to sort of get to point very clear to him that the country is ungovernable, as long as he is president or part of government. and so a general strike that has been called will have to succeed. the protesters will

have to intensify their pressure and the opposition must hold firm in its decision that they will not deal with it. so even if we get past that enormous hurdle and the violence stops, the country is then still stuck facing dire economic problems or credit, or something like $51000000.00, which the colombo so far said it cannot repay. so who do you turn to? i mean, the is the i m f, likely to, to assist you, given the ad, the political turmoil that there is there? well, i mean it talks had begun with the i m f and the i m f says to little only deal with a government that is stable. there started their technical investigations and they're waiting for a government that is stable to begin the discussions with it. once we announce, i think that we are beginning to talk to the admin in terms of an agreement. we will then be eligible for what we call bridging funds. web. other bilaterals and

multilaterals can give us the fans to tie data over until we come to implementing an actual agreement. that's very clear. thank you so much for joining us and outlining that for us or piker. so to son of on a mooted from the center for policy alternatives. thank you. not a football on the english premier ship but t. manchester city have agreed to sign dormant striker alan holland on the 1st of july. the norwegians, one of the most wanted a place in the world is contract means he could leave the german club this summer for a 75000000 euro transfer fee. his wage though, is likely to be nearly half a 1000000 euros a week. alex hollen, does it goal scoring machine a striker who combine speed, strength, and skill with phenomenal results? and even if you didn't hear it from them, he's moved to manchester city and it's riches long felt inevitable.

is it true that you're ready to bring erling holland? here we do understand that manchester city are in poll position to sign and no answer to your question. no answer to earling holland as your opinion of him as a, as a striker? no question. no answer about squished. holland had also attracted interest from the likes of round the great and barcelona and little wonder, his average nearly a goal per game for dormant, $88.00 appearances. $85.00 goals plus $23.00 assists. those numbers meant his departure was a question of when not if speculation over his future eventually create intentions between club and player i will end of all i want to do is to play football. but they pressed me to make a decision about my future. so that means i have to make a decision soon. also, gambling. holland follows in the footsteps of his father house anger, who was a play to manchester city for 3 years. whole and junior cost
