broadcasters says the veteran reporter was targeted by israeli forces. israel's military chief maintains it's unclear who killed her. plus the abortion battle in the united states eats up democratic lawmakers make a pro choice, stand in congress ahead of a likely supreme court ruling to rule back abortion rights. ah. hello everyone, i'm layla her rock. it's good to be with you. we start our broadcasts in ukraine where present val laudermill zalinski says his country's forces are making gains against russian troops and have retaken several villages around the country. second biggest city, harkey in the east. meanwhile, and the south russian installed officials in her san se they plan to ask moscow to

annex the territory. ukraine hopes more u. s. military funding will help it reclaim occupied regions. ukrainian forces taking back control and villages on the outskirts of hockey. as units pressed forward, they encountered trail of wreckage from russia's invasion. ukrainian soldiers say 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 per mile. the weapons are helping us a lot, especially the anti tank ones, essential them. i wish we could get more of them and be sure that things we use the weapons for specific targets hustle, regional, and here you see the result concord. mm hm. so if we had more weapon citizens,

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 that house speaker nancy pelosi affirmed us commitment to ukraine's war effort. it's about democracy versus a dictatorship. democracy must prevail. the ukrainian people are fighting the fight for their democracy. and in doing so, for ours is, well, russian forces have not given up their push into ukraine's don bus region. their progress is incremental at best as western weapons continued to pour into ukraine

men and could soon begin to shift. and i spoke to dw correspondent, i'm in a safe in the 5th and asked him about ukrainian gains in the east of the country. well, these 4 villages that have that the ukranian government as claimed to be now again under the control of ukrainian forces. having pushed a russian artillery out of the area that would add to 4 more. so 8 since early last week have been reclaimed by the ukrainian forces around har keith. and now what we know is that russian forces have not completely left the region. so a lot of hopes that this will become another kind of a miracle, pushed back like what we saw in kiev, where russia decided to no longer to attempt to take the capital city. but to move further east. it seems that we still have to wait to see if that's what we're seeing. hearing harkey, which is the 2nd largest city in ukraine. zalinski said that despite these recent victories that are ukrainians should not put any moral pressure on the ukrainian

military to have a victory every day, every week that the victories were going to become a slower as russia gaines, a firm hold in the east of ukraine. but he said, essentially to remain patient that a ukraine is in this for the long haul, and it doesn't matter how long it takes. they'll liberate their country from the russian invasion layla. and i'm, you know, can you share with us what you've learned about reports that we're getting from the south that the moscow appointed a leaders of the occupied region of our son plan to ask president putin to annex the territory at this point later, there's no, um, a date set for wed zalinski is calling a fake referendum, a bogus referendum, like where we saw in what he claims we saw in crimea, where the territory voted to be annexed by russia. after russia already exerted. its military might over the crimean peninsula in ukraine,

and that became part of russia. so that is what a lot of people think we're seeing and unfair sun, which has been um, occupied by russian military since april. so it's been a quite a long time. the city has adapted somewhat to the russian occupation, or we've seen russian flags go up in the city. we've seen ukrainians cooperating with the russian officials there. and now that seems that they're asking to be part of russia. but the lensky said that if that happens of a referendum were to happen that would basically wipe the slate, clean of all the negotiations they've done. since the beginning to find a peaceful scituate a solution to this conflict, which is essentially based on a russia only claiming only being pushed back to the territories that had already had since the 2014 invasion. not since the most recent invasion layla. so this would really be a setback in terms of peace talks. if this were to go through and her son, i mean information raise of hope for ukrainians in the north said backs in the

south. how do you kenyans feel about the prospects of winning this war? well, there's utmost confidence here in western ukraine that there will be an eventual victory for this country against russian aggression. the question is, how long that will take? i think a lot of people after the beginning of the war, when russia was very slow to make progress, was not able to capture the capital city key. if there was a lot of hope that the conflict would be over a soon. but it seems that russia has settled in to the east and that it's going to be a long slog russia continues to replace soldiers to bring in more artillery. so very few people know how long that's gonna take, but they do believe that it doesn't matter how long it will take layla that they're willing to fight for the country w correspondence. i mean, as see for reporting from live in west and ukraine. i mean, thank you very much. and w, washington bureau chief in a poll,

met with christoph hose, going to a long time foreign policy adviser to germany's former chancellor on glen miracle. she asked him to describe the state of russian president vladimir putin relationship with the west. as russian forces continue their invasion and occupation of ukraine. we build so many bridges we have unfortunately, to see that he destroyed all this bridges that he has violated the un charter. he has violated the charter of paris. he has violated the you know, the budapest memorandum where actually rusher guaranteed territory, sovereignty and integrity to ukraine. and ukraine gave up nuclear weapons if you, if it politicians actually doesn't adhere to any of the agreement that he or rusher assigned, then you wonder how can you work with somebody like this in the future?

so i am, i think for me we need to rush or we need to rush or to chief, this stable development goals, climate and everything. but for me, you cannot seriously talk to a man any more who has actually violated everything. and what he is responsible for, for, for war crimes. and i don't think that that he can be a partner again. is it possible? is it thinkable that russia and put in be integrated again in this world or order? after being kind of completely ex go, he committed a breach of civilization and i don't see how you can sit down with somebody like him who is responsible for the attack on a country for a violation of the un charter. you have seen the pictures. what happens to this thousands of mothers and children's for the thousands of death for the destruction

of, of a city like mario paul attacks on the city of odessa. i cannot see how you can sit around a table with somebody was responsive for this. and you can watch in as paul's entire interview with kristof house again. now, on our d, w, youtube channel, united nations monitors say more than 200 children have been killed in this war, and more than 400 injured. and unicef says nearly 2 thirds of ukrainian children have been forced to flee their homes. a camp for inter, it turn internally, displaced people in western ukraine is trying to meet the needs of school age children whose lives have been appended our correspondence. emory assures 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 keep young this place

a week. and then they start opening up or we, we lived under like many rents. and then we traveled here, so they are aware and for this particular reason we have every week, art therapy sessions was lab, be 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 play to form them. they cannot replace the safety of their homes, they have loss. let's bring up to date now with the other stories in the headline right now. the u. k. in sweden have agreed a new deal to come to each other's defense in the event of an attack on either nation. the country's prime minister is announced the pac today in stockholm. the deal comes of sweden and neighboring finland. consider joining nato amid russia's war on ukraine. french authorities have opened an investigation into torture

allegations against interpol, president ahmed nasir. as you see, the case has been filed against the top united arab emirates official by 2 british individuals. they were detained in the emeralds before icy was elected president of the france based world police agency in november last year. and police in our media have to take more than 60 people during protests in the capitol. hundreds, march through your yvonne calling for the prime minister's resignation. the call personally on has faced criticism for signing a peace deal with neighboring azerbaijan, back in 2020. after more than 6 weeks of war. as a by john claim several territories from our media. international news broadcaster al jazeera says israeli troops have shot and killed one of their veteran journalist in the occupied west. back shooting i were actually was covering

an israeli military rate. in the janine refugee camp al jazeera says she was fairly shot while wearing a press. black jacket and accuses is really forces of deliberately targeting her. israel's prime minister says she was probably hit by palestinian fire, but the israeli military chief maintains its unclear who pulled the trigger either correspond, antonio kramer joined me earlier from jerusalem, where she gave us the latest on the circumstances of sharina barkley's death. why yes sir, sir. consensus, i still unclear and details only is slowly coming in, of course. so the news broke this morning that al jazeera correspondence sharina blackly was killed while covering an israeli military rate in the palestinian town of janine, that's in the north of the occupied west bank. she was there with other colleagues

covering this rate in a refugee camp. now the palestinian minister of health that she was hit by a bullet in the head, and a shortly died afterwards. a 2nd palestinian journalist also sustained gunshot gunshot wounds in his back. he is in stable condition now as you said, the cut over based our network al jazeera for whom she worked for very long time, had issued a harsh statement claiming israel. now the israeli military had initially said that she might have most likely been hit by palestinian a gun. my with gunfire by palestinian gunmen are there was a cross fire. and now we are hearing from the chief of staff and local harvey that at this stage it's not possible to determine which bullet she was hit with and that they're sorry for her death. now palestinian colleagues were a with her this morning or in this location have disputed. the claim said there was

this kind of crossfire there also have said that there were clearly marked as pres, swearing, a blue flag check. it was press on it. can you, can you tell us who was sure mean i blackening hey was probably a bit hard to say that in a few words, but as she was a very well respected, very well liked and very experienced one of the most experienced, i think a journalist here in the region, she basically has been reporting here for almost 2 decades about the conflict, but not just the conflict, but also of the impact it has on people. here she was known locally, of course, and as she worked for al jazeera arabic, she was also known in the region. some of her younger colleagues have sat on social media and they're all of course shocked. and in disbelief or what happened that that they grew up with her reporting here and she was a role model. there were

a lot of reactions, of course, coming in. and i think this highlights again, also how difficult it is to work. as a journalist in the circumstances here in this environment, especially also for palestinian journalists with precious, from many different players and sides. and also of course, how dangerous it is because people also said, you know, you shouldn't die of for doing your job as a journalist on yeah, some final thoughts from you is there the will to hold whomever is found responsible for her killing to account? well, i mean there's a lot of pressure, of course, and a lot of colds. we just also had a statement by the you. there was a statement by the u. n. r. special envoy for the middle east peace process by, by many institutions. many people here as well to, you know, half a solar investigation. we also heard by politicians, obviously, palestinians, and israelis, but also by the israeli military said to have said of

a special investigation team. not, of course, palestinians would say they wouldn't have much faith in the military. i'm investigating itself, but there is the pressure to get to know to, to understand what happened there this morning that led to the, to the death of 1st serene blackland tanya, prima reporting from jerusalem. thank you very much, tonya is in our focus now to west africa where the empowers nation of 21000000 people molly has, over the past decade been plagued by islamists, violence. swigs of the country are controlled by a myriad of with rebel groups and militias. in the middle, our german troops, berlin has announced their presence will be increased to a total of $1400.00 soldiers. but some are wondering if that's enough for their own safety, let alone the people they were sent to protect. it is the buddhist bears most

dangerous for admission, trying to keep the peace in marley, a country under military rule divided by separatist movements and the address make fighting a military coup in the west african country. in august 2020 saw the president violently deposed. a civilian government established under international pressure was ousted in a 2nd military coup in may 2021 german troops or in marley as part of the united nations ministry commission. their aim to stabilize the country. currently, the german contingent as a maximum size of 1100 soldiers, but with a worsening security situation and the announcement in february that french forces previously the largest international contingent are to leave marly altogether. changes are needed. the german government has already said it will no longer participate in the us training mission, the molly and security forces. now the german contribution to the g u. n. presence

is set to be increased at $1400.00 treat. given the worsening picture of violence by armed extremists and claims of abuses by the malia and military, some were wonder if even that is sufficient to keep the soldiers themselves safe, let alone the civilians they're there to protect. their report by d over you or political correspondence, simon young, you can talk to simon young. simon, france, of course we understand is pulling out of molly. where does that leave germany? well, i think the feeling is that molly should not be left alone. of course, there is huge instability in the country. the future of molly politically is very uncertain. and of course the people who suffer most of the civilian population to face the effects of violence. many have been killed, many displaced. and so i think there's concern about that.

and berlin feels that they ought to step up the un secretary general and tony of good, terry, she said that if minister were to come to an end, if you had operation then molly could fall apart. so germany's going to do what it can be thing up, it's peace keeping and stabilization role is extended the mandate to do that for another year. but it's also for the 1st time included an x e clause in the mandate saying, well if the bonus very german treats, find that they don't have the means to do the job. and indeed, in particular, if they're not able to keep themselves safe in molly, then they may pull out sooner than planned. and in a controversial move, simon, the mayan government, the troops are now fighting, understand, side by side with russian mercenary. what kind of impact does that have on germany's engagement in molly?

well, that's right. us intelligence say that there are hundreds of russian medicine res operating in mali, including those from the wagner group, which is a russian mercenary organization. we've heard a lot about it in connection with ukraine. this is one of the reasons for the split between france and the malia authorities. president and micron of france was recently saying that the russian soldiers events are sort of prop the military hunter as also as well as to you know, advanced business interest. so it's a very difficult situation. these are quite gruesome fighters. we understand who's been accused of a role in that dozens of extra judicial killings. and these are the kind of problems i think the buddhist metrics will continue to face in molly as well. and in a related development, simon, hundreds of german soldiers, i understand, will be read a port neighboring new share. why?

well, that's right. this is the 2nd mission that germany's involved in, in molly, the training mission of molly and forces. now the germans say, well, they're not happy with the progress they're, there been these allegations of corruption but also of the atrocities carried out. there was a massacre back at the end of march where there were allegations that molly and soldiers had been involved in that. and of course, there's also the frustration with the military government saying they're not moving quickly enough to hold of a civilian elections and move back to a civilian path. and also the involvement with russian troops. it means they got frustrated, they're going to shift the focus of the mission, tunisia and now where they'll be just 300 german trips involved rather than the 600 who have been training troops in molly up to now the w. vertical correspondence simon young reporting. thank you. democratic lawmakers in the united

states are attempting to secure a federal abortion rights by bringing a bill to the senate. the move is largely symbolic because they lack the numbers to ensure its passage. democrats are trying to head off a supreme court decision, which is expected to overturn the court's previous landmark ruling on the issue. and one that has been the centerpiece to partisan battles for half a century. the supreme court ruling on roe vs wade was a landmark decision. effectively legalizing abortion across the united states. it focused on jane ro, in reality. norma mc corby, a texas woman seeking in abortion. but as state law only allowed it in cases where the mother's life was in danger, she was denied her case was picked up by a civil rights lawyer is looking to challenge state anti abortion laws. in january 1973, the justices ruled 7 to 2. that a woman's right to privacy superseded estates, right?

to ban abortion. the decision set off a fierce legal battle, which has become increasingly partisan. after ro, the republicans added an anti abortion stands to their platform and effort to enlist support from the religious right. during the trump presidency, a major victory for republicans looking to tilt the balance of the supreme court in just 4 years, he was able to appoint 3 justices giving the court a $63.00 conservative majority during their senate hearings, each appointee was asked about row and each said they would follow precedent. but now it seems the court is poised to overturn roe in a leak draft opinion on a case concerning a mississippi abortion ban. justice samuel elite o calls ro egregiously wrong from the start. the court is expected to issue

a ruling by the end of june, and if row is overturned, the effects will be immediate. with some 26 out of 50 states set to ban or restrict abortion. that's galvanizing democrats who want to keep abortion legal. a position recent polls suggest is supported by some 60 percent of americans say with us, made in germany is up next the top with ah, with
