up. russia's war on ukraine is having far reaching effects. among them worsening the food crisis in somalia, millions are going hungry. as wheaton other food shortages calls prices to skyrocket with families struggling to make ends meet. many children have no choice but to go to work. and that means giving up on school. and in buddhist they get football, how to berlin, avoid relegation. with a, when a temper there's the happiness and relief, the full inside will be staying in the top flight. ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us 3 months into the ukraine war. the fighting has moved largely to the east of the country. their russia is making slow progress in its attempt to control the don bass region. for now, the center and west of the country are no longer threatened by russian artillery,

but some towns outside of kia that saw devastating fighting are still struggling to recover. dw, correspond at max tundra, visited the town of hosta mel, where an international team of psychologists are helping residents process the wounds of war. a busy morning at the clinic and the key of suburb hostile males. bullet holes in the windows bear witness to the russian occupation. medical staff have been working round the clock since the clinic reopened in april because they're dealing with visible and invisible grades . i think is kind of a collective trawn. we're, if you laclare with people living a communities honorable psychologist malcolm hugo has joined the operation here as part of the international organization, doctors without borders. he just returned from a home visit in the area. so the woman whose house was completely destroyed was living there with her son, who he said 30 years of age. and,

and unfortunately he was killed anna in the driveway boy a rocket. and so she's obviously going through a grading process he's on her own now. the key of suburbs bore the brunt of the fighting in the early days of the invasion. that was followed by a ruthless occupation marked by violence against residence. the russians have left reconstruction is under way, but people here are only starting to put their lives back together. the emotional scars run deep. there are various types of trauma people here are dealing like those who experienced the occupation and extreme levels of violence than others returning to their homes. seeing not much left of it and then there are, those were taken prisoner by the enemy kidnaps even taken across the border. dark on your snow conditions all night is one of them focus on that. he says russian soldiers shot him in both legs in front of his home. then took him and his son. and

you probably lay, drop me on the porch and started to put the gun to my head. and in my mouth, we could assume that when my son saw this, he got on his knees and screamed, please don't kill my dad not so they put us in the vehicle. blindfolded off his tables, courtroom tied our hands and took us in an unknown direction. you by this evening just on the pavilion, they were taken across the border to bela rose than flown to cost, and russia weeks later, all ik was freed than a prisoner exchange. his son still missing. whose number could you choose that there was a stay on you it, it's you from the inside and you can't take away the sorrow with your tears. we need destruction. 3 work and life while we're waiting for his return reason, leo was done yet the worst talk was court giving you what? so there are believe to be hundreds of similar cases in this town alone. how did

you all, nick, has joined the team of doctors without borders seeking to assist the psychologists by sharing his experiences, doing his bit to help others heal. in our correspondent max tonda, who filed that report, joins me now from ukraine's capital kia max. we saw an extreme example of psychological trauma in that report, but countless ukrainians are dealing with her own personal trauma in this war. how are people coping their generally? well, that's right terry. so the people living in that area in the suburbs of he, of them a lot of them heavily extreme ex, experienced extreme cases of, of trauma. some of them were witness or experienced a, i'm pillaging violence, sir, murder, rape, torture. so people, there are going through a lot a collectively,

i'm from talking to these people. it seems that it's an important for them to keep busy, to, to, to work, to focus on their family, to, to put their lives back together and, and reconstruct their lives. and even reconstruct their homes in many cases now that psychologist that i, i spoke to him in that report. he also said that one thing that, that stuck with me. he said it was amazing a that, that about that he said that resilience that some people displayed and dealing with the situations i'm really amazed him. but the, that being said, still very important that you don't just pack away your emotions, but try to seek psychological help and try to do with this on a professional level. but then there are so many cases in this country. everybody is affected in one way or another, not just in the suburbs of kids, but in the ox territories, close to the fighting lives. there are 6000000 people who fled the country or who internally displaced. even eliza, somewhat seeming peaceful capital of here at the moment, people are dealing with arid alarms multiple times,

day. so everybody has historian, is dealing with this in one way or another that was due to be correspond mcsaunder, they're reporting from keith. while russia's invasion of ukraine has surprised many military analysts who'd expected fighting to be over very quickly. instead, the 3 month old war has exposed unexpected weaknesses in rushes, forces heavy troop and equipment losses have reportedly hurt morale even more. and the wars initial aims have been severely scaled back. it was supposed to be over in a few days. russian tanks rolled into ukraine from multiple directions from belarus in the north separatist controlled parts of ukraine and russia itself in the east and occupied crimea in the south. aiming to decapitate the government by taking the capital keith and capturing as much territory as quickly as possible. but planning and logistics soon proved to be a major problem. a menacing 40 kilometer line of tanks and personnel carriers was

spotted heading towards keith. but it soon bog down and came under ferocious attack . russian tanks were cut off from fuel supplies and abandoned. and the army gave up on heat in late march, russia shifted its efforts to the east, trying to cut off a huge chunk of territory south and east of hoc eve. but it became clear that the invading army had another problem, command and control officers on the ground had to call senior officials in moscow to make the smallest decisions. meanwhile, dug in ukrainian forces inflicted heavy losses on the russians who made few gains. in fact, around huck eve, they lost significant territory. generals were called to the front to solve problems and several were killed in battle. 2 images of

a botched river crossing. we're a major embarrassment. dozens of tanks destroyed, and hundreds of soldiers killed in what experts say was a desperate attempt to show some kind of progress. as rush as attempts to take new territory were scaled back to a small slice of the original aim of taking the entire don best region, it became increasingly clear that there was a major problem with morale intercepted communications showed russian soldiers discussing sabotaging their own equipment or trying to injure themselves to be sent away from the fighting. that makes it harder and harder to make progress and even hold territory against super motivated ukrainian fighters. the coming weeks will show if russia can hold the territory it seized. or whether ukraine will push the invaders back to the border spring. and frank

ludwig here who's our regular military analyst. he joins us from oxford in the u. k . frank, this war is now entering its 4th month. moscow has suffered multiple defeats and has had to scale back its ambitions. are you surprised by how well the ukrainians have held the russians back? terry, we were all surprised in the early days in the 1st month or so that the degree to which conventionally the ukrainians are actually magic as it were now less. so the last 2 announcements are demonstrated why that is. we just heard on that report. some of the reasons, essentially russia operating a piece time army, which is having problems with power a minute. secondly, because of more importantly, ukraine is fully mobilized. it's also backed by a very capable, the world's most capable, by far military alliance. just from the physical perspective, the material and conceptually rushes all over the place from the start,

it didn't have a central approach. it didn't have a main effort. and it's hard to scale down. and furthermore, it retains old command structures and old ways of doing military business. you credit particular of the last 8 years. i've learned a great deal about how to exercise come out of control. they devolve, come out of control to the lower levels. finally, most importantly, terry is the moral component that we saw from matches report before. partly why that is, ukraine is defending against a vicious and brutal enemy. they are wise. the russian soldiers don't seem to have much of an idea what they're doing. the russian leaders have no strategic focus, so from the physical, the conceptual on the moral perspective, you, craig, is a superior fighting force. russian forces are still trying to take more territory in the don't bass region, though, given russia's capabilities, the lay of the land there. it's proximity to russia, the separate

a strong holds there. is it not just a matter of time frank, for the don't bass region is fully under russian control to things from what you said there, terry. very interesting. first of all, he did mention the proximity of russia and its main main main suppliers into the combat zone. and that's true. there are big bases at ra stove in belgrade, and i did it all across the russian border. so they got short lines communication, which they didn't have in the know that's true, however, concerning the labor. yes, part of that area are good for maneuver warfare, which would tend to support the idea of the russians to be good at it. but let's not remember the center of the decisive bottles are going to be 40 lima severity and possibly less chance. those are urban areas. even before we consider deficiencies of russia in respect to, before you would expect an attacker against the city $5.00 to $1.00 advantage. russians could leverage some of that with artillery,

but they won't have that advantage against prepared you. crated positions. and as long as the west keep up their supplies and reinforcements of artillery an excellent kit, you kind of should be able to hold it. that said, present savanski said yesterday, this is going to be hard summer, and it certainly is frank, thank you very much for your insight. that was frank ludwig, military analyst in oxford. thank you, terry. now let's be some other stories. saw making news in the ukraine war, ukrainian president bologna zalinski has called for maximum sanctions against russia and said vladimir putin is the only russian official he would meet to negotiate an end to the war with. he spoke by a video link to the world economic forum and double switzerland. russian business leaders are and diplomats are mourned from this year's meeting. senior russian diplomat has resigned because he's against the invasion of ukraine. orest bondo ref, worked for moscow's mission to the united nations in geneva is written to

a freak weather event last week took everyone by surprise. where the satellites provide detailed data, but certain localized events are hard to predict lifeless, eager order, long term, or even 24 hour forecasts are quite possible through the sale, but for very local events like thunderstorms. we need a lot more data, more satellites and better technology of that and we're getting there one term it was best latisha lagoon does it often vacant? one potential solution is the alias, satellite technology used by the u space program to detect wind speeds using a laser. another approach is to measure the number of lightning strikes to calculate the strength of a storm. but european space agency is currently present in projects like these to industry experts and bomb he is a congress, is this congress is of course,

enormously important for the scientist, but also for politicians here that we can show what information we can gather on the climate crisis and the latest climate research fema forshaw. it's hope these new forecasting systems will help to give early warnings. a freak weather events. football now and how to berlin have won the bonus league. relegation play off to stay in the top flight at a loss to 1st leg one nail at home and went to hamburg needing a perfect performance and they did it meeting their hosts to nil, dooming hamburg to another season in the 2nd division. ah, the home band that folks boxed daddy on were pumped up after 4 long years of seeing their hamburg team stuck in the 2nd division. and it didn't hurt that they had won the 1st leg of the playoff. but then came marvin platen hart's corner and heritage . we're ahead in just the 4th minute thanks to dedrick boycotted the belgium

international winning the aerial battle. and heading home parents were dominating the flow of the match and they nearly made it to neil on 33 minutes . hamburg keeper, daniel jolla fernandez denying luke i to zap with a diving save at half time. the home fans were no longer as buoyant as they'd been at the start and things were about to get worse when flattened hot baghdad goal of his own with just over an hour gone to defender, curling and amazing, free kick right into the news. and that's how it ended to nail in hampton dug themselves out of a hole when it mattered most a joyous emotional night for the berliners and despair. for hamburg,

let's get more on that relegation fixture with mathias book from d. w. sports. but he has, let's start with how to berlin, how important was this when and how do you rate, how to season altogether know for how to villain this and when was absolutely massive. so avoiding relegation is the 1st thing you want to do in the button to slager because it's not only the team you play and the teams you're playing the 1st division. but there is massive financial ramifications if you actually go down to the 2nd bundis league. just as an example, for shaka, last year when they got relegated, they had to cut their player budget from 80 to 25000000 euros. so that's massive plus many sponsors will jump off. many players will only have contracts for the 1st one to sleeva. and let's not even talk about the fan so they will obviously weigh less fans and weigh less ticket sales if you get relegated to the 2nd one to speak us so terrific from heter to make it after all, it was

a terrible season though you have to say they just avoided disaster because you have to consider that investor loss, been toast. who is the owner of the 10 or holding he joined to 2000000000 in 2019 and put 375000000 euros into that club. and they're aiming for international football and not for relegation, but also overall, it's not even a pass, but they avoided the total disaster, which is very important for billy, speaking of disaster, poor hamburg, they'll now stay in the 2nd bonus league for the 5th straight season. what went wrong for them, especially after they won the 1st leg of the relegation battle one nil. yeah, for hamburg. this was particularly hurtful for them because they had it all set up . as you mentioned, the 1st game in berlin, they won one nil and the fence. we're expecting we're going to get on top now. we're going to beat, we're going to beat berlin. they didn't do that. i think the pressure just got too high for them. so, and there is a gap, we can't deny it between the bonus vega and the 2nd from the slager. and in these

relegation shade games, it just often shows, but you know what if i 55 consecutive years for handbook in the bonus they go and now it's going to be the 5th in a row in the 2nd, they're called the dinosaurs in the book and they were there for so long, but now they have to really be careful not to become the dinosaurs in the 2nd. but there are some to bill he within the clubs and i'm pretty sure in the next year. in the 2nd bonus together, we'll fight for promotion, again the whole relegation promotion system. it's controversial, at least for some people. what do you think about the relegation playoff system? does it still make sense? there is financial reasons for that obviously. so there's a lot of to read t v revenue made with it, and it's very exciting for the fans. let's be honest, it's 2 games do or die. and the winner goes up, or goes down, or stays in the slee again. but if you look at, if a fan is reasons yes, so out of the 14 relegation playoffs,

the bonus lead club has 111 of them since the re introduction in 2009. so the gap really shows, and in general, i believe that it should be scrapped. but here's thank you so much. i'm a ts book from d w sports. you are watching d w news more football next in kick off. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching with with
