i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says his country's forces are making gains against russian troops. every taken several villages around the country, 2nd biggest city khaki, even the east ukrainian troops that are calling for more anti tank weapons to continue their progress. but u. s. intelligence services say russia is ready for a protracted war. ukrainian forces taking back control and villages on the outskirts of khaki. as units pressed forward, they encountered trail of wreckage from russia's invasion, ukrainian soldiers, se russian forces fired on civilian convoys as they were trying to flee the fighting in frontline areas like here. destruction to by ukrainian fighters. this russian tank,

one of many blown up by state of the art weapons delivered by nato countries, goes along the for miles. the weapons are helping us a lot, especially the anti tank ones, essential them. i wish we could get more of them vision to finish. we use the weapons for specific targets before wickersham, and here you see the results of government. if we had more weapons, but we would get more results without blowing it will, they should be sh. it is the wish. the u. s. is only too happy to oblige american secret. on tuesday, the house of representatives emphatically approved of $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine, paving the way for more weapon deliveries on this foe. the yeas are 368. the names are 57. the bill is past without house speaker nancy pelosi affirmed us commitment to ukraine's war effort. it's about democracy versus a dictator. ship democracy must prevail. the ukrainian people are fighting the

fight for their democracy. and in doing so, for ours is well, russian thought as have not given up their push into ukraine's don bus region. the progress is incremental at best. as western weapons continue to point to ukraine, meant and could soon begin to shift. will they w correspondent? i'm in a safe is in levine, in weston 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's offered a russia 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 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 and monitors say more than 200 children have been killed in this war, and more than 400 injured. and unicef says 92 thirds of ukrainian children have been

forced to flee their homes account for internally displaced. people in west and ukraine is trying to meet the needs of school age. children whose lives have been offended, a correspondent in mighty, well, shall pay them a visit. it takes a village to raise a child and war times. i'm no exception. here and even though frankie asking western ukraine locals had mobilize resources and manpower to give young displaced children a safe haven. martin, some friends saturdays, safe space was the support of antonio mercy, called the when the worst started to we really wanted to make a bigger contribution and to air with saw so many people who are new to our cd. it with the families. and i, 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 friend 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 isla. landed phil. oh oh my grandmother lives here. are you? oh, we arrived on the 3rd day of war year at 10 p. m. live or 30 then really? i miss my friends. you very cheddar czar. that always emery. my name's my name's sophia, i'm from china here. i miss my friends that always you 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 tramos. whoa, something educators are so 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 lived under like many c rents and then we traveled here. so too they are aware. and for this particular reason we have every week, art therapy sessions was lab is certified 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 funds he recently returned from ukraine and joins us from katara in south africa. welcome to d w. what are the, what would you say the main challenges facing displaced, ukrainian children at the moment? yeah, i mean, i think the main challenge is a highlighted 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 other 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, psychosocial counseling, support when necessary, but also just having that semblance of normality in providing

a child that my kids recreation kits to shelters. the places where this place 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 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 you said works with child protection authorities across the country. i was in a town in the southeast, quite close to the front lines where people from audio, other areas are coming out. and we will close the top digital stories that you identify just 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 any child who has been displaced, it's hard enough for adults to deal with these kind of traumatic events. how are

you finding that? but 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 for, 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've used like telling children they're on a, on a trip, not to look out the window that this is a temporary. and if they say to me, 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 cope, but also provide the 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 fairfax when they eventually do return to some sort of post will i'm normality you know, i mean,

i think the horrors 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 normality they need piece. they need to know more children to go to school again and to be with their friends. good talking to you. thank you so much for that to be frank from usa. let's take a look at some of the other stores making headlines today. central sources of open an investigation into torture allegations against interpol president are mad nasa al racy. the case has been filed against the top or united arab emirates official

by 2 britons. they were detained in the emirates 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 mart suryana van calling for the prime ministers 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 was 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 years, riots that the u. s. capital, citing concerns that he could incite further violence or international news broadcast al jazeera says that israeli troops are shot and killed one of their

as you 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 her who was shot in the back of this a statement that he is said to be in stable condition. now the cutter based al jazeera network for whom she worked for many, many years, has named israel, or 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 palestine and 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 of flak jackets. right. and what is the investigation into that likely to report while we understand that there's really a foreign minister has that or has offered or the palestinian authority at least in a statement that there should be a join pathological investigation into the said death as he said it to establish what happened and that journalists must be protected in conflict earns. 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 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 and she was also you as a citizen, that there needs to be an investigation and death. of course, a lot of shock among her colleagues and from i love it also in on the foreign press he and 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 channel 5 to 0 for many, many years. okay, thank you for that, lou, tonya, tonya kramer in jews also he to show lanka next when authorities have been given orders to crack down on writers following this week's unrest. several people have diving clashes in recent days as pro government groups. a tant protesters calling for the resignation of the president. go to buy a router pack, so they blame him for a dead crisis that's left to lanka, obese for 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, the 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 pac sir for the shift m. o. goshen. at move. all protests were peaceful protests. there was no violence and there was no rioting. the protests were aimed at specific demands of the people. the mug when former prime minister may hinder roger pox, i launched a planned attack on these peaceful protests. he should have known there would be a reaction to that. my neither mike, sheila,

das allison's either the 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 stepped 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, mother doesn't zillow down, the 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 nonviolent, peaceful protest. we has amazon, ah, but nothing for out of anything else. 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 lancoste political crisis isn't resolved soon. as take a look of what this set means with pie here, sorta set up on a mutiny, he had the center for policy alternatives and joins us from this rankin capital columbia. welcome to the w, and the country has been in turmoil for months. and now as receipts 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 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 box of 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 the 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. owing credit is something like $51000000000.00, which are the colombo so fast that it cannot repay. so who do you turn to? i mean the is the i m f, likely to, to assist you given be ab, the political turmoil that there is there? well, i mean, it talks of 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 called bridging funds. web, other bilaterals and multi lateral 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 the outlining that for us are pack your 30 santibanez muti 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 and all regions, one of the most wanted a place in the world is contract means you could leave the german club this summer for a $75000000.00 euro transfer fee. his wage though is likely to be nearly half
