have been in any way serving in the men who have been in any way serving in the ukranian army. we know that at checkpoints when people civilians get out of the city, they are checked for to choose that might associate them with a ukrainian nationalism or, or, or, or for any signs that they have been serving like like the gun belt leaving it's traces here. so it's very tricky thing to do to evacuate them. monitors from the united nation, say more than 200 children have been killed in ukraine and more than 400 injured as a result of the wall. and according to unicef, nearly 2 thirds of all children in ukraine have been forced to flee their homes. a camp for internally displaced people in the west of the country is trying to meet the needs of school age. children whose lives have been up ended. our correspondent emanuel shars, paid them a visit. it takes a village to raise a child,

boris johnson, travel to still come and help thinking to sign the agreements to countries a considering joining nato amid russia's will against rain. but assuming security guarantees until they become members', security and all the mounting for an independent investigation of the death of serene. actually, the veteran al jazeera journalist was fatally shot while covering. and he's really military rate in the occupied west by a colleague say was israeli troops killed her, but in the military chief is unclear, pulled the trigger north korea has reported its 1st official corona virus outbreak . state media as a sub, the very end of the only crime virus, of the virus has been detected in the capitol. yes, it has ordered a lock down. most korea has until now declined foreign vaccines. neighboring south

korea is offering assistance. european union negotiators. hell, talk into iran in an effort to salvage the run nuclear deal, the agreement gave to her sanctions relief in exchange for strict cubs on its nuclear program. for me as president donald trump scrapped the deal 4 years ago. efforts to revive it, have made little progress. sri lanka, president got a hasn't promised political reforms as he attempts to lift the country out of turmoil. the televised address follows days of violence in the country and weeks of anti government protest. over sri lanka, worsening economic crisis. president russia as promising to end the political uncertainty starting with changes in the corridors of power. mamma miss, i am working to form a new government this week to control the current situation and prevent the country from falling into anarchy. gamma this week, i will be appointing

a prime minister and a cabinet who are able to win the confidence of the majority in parliament theory and will strengthen the confidence of the people in the country. can be cutting to good. and for more on this, we are now joined via d w reporter and a shorter ana. ok, so the speech from the president was this, what's relying comes were expecting? well, it might have been what they expected because many sri lankan c and go to buy a roger packs or is someone who really wants to hold on to power. but it's not the one that they were hoping for, for the anti government protested that have spent months demanding that the government steps down. they wanted to hear something more radical. like you got to buy a roger packs are actually saying he's going to resign to them. it's not enough that his elder brother, who was the prime minister, has stepped down at the beginning of the week. and that members of the roger pox of

family who were serving in government have also gone from their positions of power . they want the president to actually leave office and step down. but roger paxis speech was more about how to bring back some political stability to sri lanka. and he was promising to carry out political reforms when the country became more stable. you just heard in there saying he was going to name a new prime minister. and that's quite important though, because the country's situation is getting more precarious every day, even before the violence, the beginning of the week. we saw the people were suffering from electricity blackouts, there were shortages of fuel and medicine and food. and that's because the government has run out to foreign reserves to pay for these imports. and the governor of the central bank was urging go to buy a roger pack. so to bring back some stability to the country because the country

needs a prime minister, a finance minister to be part of the team that's negotiating right now with the i m f. 2, to restructure the countries debt and to, to create a rescue plan for sri lanka. so, seen lots of unrest, for example, on monday night, you know, and this just, you know, following is an escalation of all the violence and the rest will be seen over time . and now with soldiers patrolling the streets, there's a shoot on site policies this actually working to sort of get rid of all of all this rest. yeah, the unrest that we saw on monday night was really quite astonishing. there were lawmakers who were actually killed in violence along with protesters. and the presence of the army on the streets has brought some yes, some end to violence, but the violence was already dying down before the trips were deployed. and it's

hard to say whether the actual presence of the troops on the street and making people feel safer. it w reporter, i'm a shorter thank you very much. now to the us where democratic lawmakers have failed in their bid to legalize abortion . nationwide, the senate voted largely along party lines against the bill. it would have guaranteed abortion access across the us. the result was expected under vote, largely symbolic. this summer the supreme court is expected to overturn roe v wade . 1973 ruling, a granted women the rights to abortion. now here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. for ukraine has proposed a deal with russia to get it wounded fighters out of the as or salt steel plaid was joe. she ations continue on a plan that would see seriously injured ukrainian,
