it's under business, 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 summer postal mail. bullet holes in the window is 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 trauma or if your locker with earth people living the 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 of hearing some of the woman whose house was completely destroyed, was living there with her son, who sir, 30 years of age and her. and unfortunately, he was killed her in there, dr. why boy? a rocket. and so she's obviously going through

a grading process she'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 underway, 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, see not much left of it. and then there are those who are taken prisoner by the enemy kidnaps even taken across the board. doctor and yourself industry only 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 dropped 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 now. so they put us in the vehicle, blindfolded off with tables. courtroom tied our hands and took us in an unknown direct, sorry, by this didn't you just on the pavilion they were taken across the border to bela rose than flown to cost and russia. weeks later, o lick was freed than a prisoner exchange. his son still missing reasonable creditors that there was diana. it, it's you from the inside and you can take away the sorrow with your tears. what is his? i mean, we need destruction. 3 work and life while we're waiting for his return reason, leo was done yet the worst talk was quoted giving you what's of there are believe to be hundreds of similar cases in this town alone. how did you do all that 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 sanda, who file 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 their 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, of a lot of them heavily extreme ext experienced extreme cases of trauma. some of them were witness or experienced, pillaging violence or 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 reconstruct their lives. and even reconstruct their homes in many cases now that psychologist that i spoke to in that report, he also said that one thing that, that stuck with me. he said it was amazing that that about that he said that resilience that some people displayed and dealing with the situations i'm really amazed him. but that, that being said, still very important that you don't just pack away your emotions, but to try to seek psychological help and try to deal 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 occupied territories, close to the fighting line. there are 6000000 people who fled the country or who are internally displaced, even in this somewhat seeming peaceful capital of key. at the moment people are dealing with arid alarms multiple times a day. so everybody has a story and is dealing with this in one way or another. as correspond. max chanda reporting earlier from kia while russia's war on ukraine looms large over german

chancellor, olaf shots his visit to africa, where skyrocketing prices have exacerbated the in crisis. there. schoultz is in south africa today, the final stop of this 3 nation tour. he started out on sunday in senegal, where shoals met with president mackey's saul, and offered cooperation and gas production before heading to new air. there he backed an extension of germany's military training mission, as the country fights and islamist insurgency. in an exclusive interview with d, w. chief political editor mckenna cook, nor sat down with the chancellor in the hottest bird. johannesburg shorts stressed the importance germany, places on its ties with africa, africa, the continent, next to europe. and it is of essence that we work intensely to have very good relations with all the states in africa. and also it is important that we developed our relations with all the democratic states on the globe. democracy,

the looming, hunger crisis. fuel sausages, fertilize assorted, is what responsibility the germany feel to safe countries that have nothing to do with this conflict from the 1st russian invaded ukraine, started abroad to war against the neighbor tree. and so it is important that we stick together to give the ukraine to chance to defend itself, its integrity and serenity. and this is also important for peace on the globe. we should agreed that there should never again, be in successful attempt to change borders with force. and this is what russia is trying to do. and this is why we cannot accept this. and this is why so many countries are supporting ukraine with financial means with weapons also. and

we developed the sanctions regime against russia to convince the russian of leadership that they should go away from the war that they should start negotiations with the ukraine. them that they withdraw the troops from ukraine territory where they invaded the country. and on the other hand, just oppositely, that was just obvious that a lot of countries are suffering from this war and from the russian aggression. and this is why we are very decided that we will help the countries that are suffering. this is why we started to cooperate and fighting against or the consequences of having not enough foods of supporting the countries with their own economic difficulties they have. and this is why we also speak about how we can work together in this very difficult crisis.

but the best thing to do is ending the war. and if russia stop, it's aggression and be ready for a peace, this would be the best for the whole globe. what concrete assistance can countries like, for instance, a don tomorrow night or expect? we are working on supporting the board foot program and we are starting to get an initiative against the salt inches that are coming up now. and we've worked together with the countries on the global level together with the united nations. and this is what we are trying to convince all other countries that have to means to do so to do together with us driven chancellor off schultz. they're speaking with d. w. mckinney, christina in south africa. we had some other stories making headlines around the world today. the

answer that. first and foremost i support the russian. pamela, when i compare, i've been thinking for a while, i should have intervened and ukraine. what good a little skinner would the russians have been dying? that lawyer had fun? there had been atrocities on the don bus region against the russian people. for years i knew that that's why i support this operation. i don't, i hope it's brought to an end as quickly as possible with the fewest possible victims. you know, and that the denot allocation of ukraine icon reality fil slotted. book. the russian war of aggression against ukraine is re interpreted here as an act of self defensible russian propaganda is accepted at face value. ah, belgrade is the only city in europe besides this, don bull's still operating lights to russia. aah,

nadia keith oliver and said gig ivory love have left moscow for belgrade. they've been living here for 4 weeks now. he's a photographer and she worked as a food designer in the advertising industry. when the russian economy collapsed because of sanctions and their work began to dry up, they decided to immigrate their debit and credit cards no longer work abroad. in moscow, they emptied their bank accounts and exchanged their roubles for american dollars along there. now making ends meet with this money. i have no even one minute of thinking. come back and rush i think as the way it's close, there's them will a dangerous situation and we don't have some future in

our children. don't have some tricia there. the stalls in the city centre are stopped up on russian merchandise. the couple from moscow was familiar with the nationalist symbolism from back home. in belgrade, 2, they are confronted with the face of commander in chief putin on t shirts. the military is glorified here. a lot of people here is just supporting russian government supporting war and thinking. the futon is doing great job or slowing people we don't think so. well, the firms and the reason we're here because we don't feel good in russia and we have to escape somewhere. we can say that ria is big lead, sees the cerebral morgue. you can just lay it. what is it?

am we're feeling better here because people are more friendly for russians m b, i can see where using these friendships, ah, for as long as proven remains in power. this couple has decided that they have to remain refugees or is begley c as the serve. say they're determined to start over here. many serbs feel so close to russia and such a deep rooted skepticism towards the west because of their own experiences of war. 23 years ago in spring 1999 nato bombers attack serbia. following the collapse of peace talks with the serbian government, the aerial bombing was intended to stop the displacement and the murder of kosovo, albanians by serbian troops in what was then the province of kosovo.

alex, good above it, was just for when bombs fell on belgrade. the events have been seared into his memory. i have with purely co op, this is what the cell is looked like, where we sheltered from the nato arrives. formerly, no one knew what to do, not either cuz we didn't know whether there would be an air strike or not him. if a bomb hits the building or will it collapse into the cell by them of god, how will we survive that? always? there were a lot of questions isn't talk what we just said from royal hide when you're quite nice. when is in a moment like that. what instinct triumphs are the logical visions think that i when i, when i called at the sellers were fooling sounds as i recall that every one who lived in the pablo lunk was inside the nic as well as people from other blocks who didn't have sellers. locker it was crowded mortal gun. people spent hours sitting

on the floor. every pool formation soppy, massapequa sat on the door at 1st. alexa and his family fled to the cellar. every time the air raid sirens sounded, days or weeks into the bombing campaign, or they just stayed put in their apartment. oh, alex's parents still lived there. yeah, he said his father was in ukraine for work at the time of the bombing raids. the rest of the family in belgrade laying on this last left, it became clear to us that the bombing would go on for a long time to sell a polish. we couldn't spend a whole spring in the cellar yummies. there were people who did that, but i had to try to lead a normal life of what i see normal with small children. there was no question of staying there in the cellar crockett pharmacy the nato bomb struck strategic military targets. but as the campaign went on, civilian infrastructure also entered the firing line. the chinese embassy in

belgrade was hit on the night of may 7th, 1999, immediately followed by the hotel yugoslavia. alex's family lived in a block right between these 2 buildings. so it's just around the corner. so muslim, ashy our windows, look out under the chinese embassy. ali got the when it was headlamp i was home alone with my young children from all of that. so we fled to our neighbors. on $55.00, their apartment looks under the hotel yugoslavia, which was then struck by a bomb to bucklin dawson tucker. he had made the rectory molla bustle, michael, that's my ball. on the same evening for hotel in our neighbor's apartment, we all sheltered under the dining table to shield ourselves from flying glass and like a bed. we had no idea where to go. in the end we just hid under the table. i kind of did some work on the 2nd, so that is my 1st to have a memory booked up,

but of the fear that the tension, the wrong set out, the sirens finicky bomb, bessie rayna, e. and if i remember rightly, for some powerful earthquake, honor killing all good omens. and although the shockwave shattered the windows settles on its own immediacy by living, the smell of fire, the fire engines civils, i wouldn't wish that on any one, no net above nickel was an ostrich that a new brother portion cook junior. after that night, they left serbia and joined onyx, his father and ukraine, in safety. a sole, ga sachem tranecia. there where bombs are now raining down. both you like history is repeating itself. it's awful most. the nato intervention lasted 78 days. you can still see some signs of it in serbia to day. it's impossible to

overlook the ruins of the former yugoslav defense ministry in belgrade. a 100 meters from alex as apartment behind hotel yugoslavia. the damage caused by the bomb strike is less obvious. with a truck, if you go up, there are 3 holes right through all 3 stories where the bombs dropped and then exploded down below a $100.00 per year. le resentment towards nato remains strong. it's regarded as the aggressor who's bombing campaign lead to the loss of kosovo. cockle, mr. turner. conformable. but what would you think of someone who's bombed ohio abra dalbert ease, but i don't think that it was a good move miss seemed equally close to his eyes, then echoed in organization that propagates free, doing quote, democracy and peace of democrat them. nicole,

it is an organization that is meant to protect people. ethnic can hardly justify its bombing of civilian areas, form but of the line im nikki civilly. but also the actual awfully. i'm dim nato in the way that the average ukrainian condemns russia. he saw most lot at the general motors. no not older. you just create hate that lasts much longer than it takes to rebuild the ruins. saw that i had a crystal, tiffany wilcox, or victim. the scars of war are also very visible on the headquarters of the serbian state broadcaster, journalist nino. but i of it used to work here nowadays. he's the chairman of u. n. s. the journalists association of serbia, which stands up for the rights of journalists. a plaque lists the names of 16 employees who died in the bombing raid 23 years ago. and the word why

ah, and this serbian t v did perhaps broadcast propaganda. but it also showed the victims of nato bombings, really dead civilians, whiskey, non military target, yet, based in the end, the t v building itself was a tamela. this practice has been employed in other international conflicts. r t b stations are subjective to targeted attacks. the leslie of the board during the war is on serbian territory. russia was always a loyal ally, place, and so trust has grown in the country's big brother and speaking to r t afterwards. liliana and sabo, lego vege flick through the foreign news channels on their television. over from they see the rush news as the most reliable source of information is they learned russian at school. while the european union has banned the russian state

broadcaster r t, formerly known as russia to day, you can still watch it in serbia, and linda sweet joint is ashlyn will be able to happening while the so i still did the band, it has to be well informed if you need to hear both sides, veronica, can even our children in the us can watch russian channels like i t, it's only western europe that's taking action that get off that and i don't understand it. it dominey, but she asked emily where the mouth is. they are investing in the equipment western media show the civilian victims of the russian bombing. while russian tv shows those killed by ukrainian troops. it's a battle to win hearts and minds to create the dominant narrative about the war region suitable. so oh, i school thought read louis 20 years ago, i saw how the war in yugoslavia was being reported on from abroad yielded to the overwhelming majority of t. v. reports consisted of lies to be largely too low. tucker basil chinaman

theater on the pictures were put in the wrong context. it was unimaginable the toll brownstone is a mystery. all yes, back then i completely lost my trust in western media on black moves up and stumble . maybe it's just my personal opinion or such a, but i trust russian media more loosely because they report more objectively on and honestly he pushed the near his list though russia has already won over their hearts and minds and the advocates of free speech and serbia don't think outlying russian channels as the right solution. the journalist association don't want our tea band here. maybe they'll it. so it's a human right to have free media at the v. a banning media infringes on human rights gabriella. gushing a ban is only appropriate it media.
