production anymore here that we thought the name would attract. investors who would help us deal with this building has been restored with foreign 800. yet we've been holding forums and cultural events. here again, executable sabrina now bombed greatest lined the road in front of the cultural club . several shells of hit the neighbourhood, wharton. oh, my windows burst and the roof was lifted. i was sitting in the basement when it happened. i opened widely he gala instead of reading his poetry, quarter of now looks after the remaining inhabitants and organize his aid. i. i'm in the basement every day and we've been sitting in basements for 8 years. yes. many houses in town are damaged or destroyed. 3 quarters of the 8000 inhabitants have left. those who remain live in constant fear.

alena vos joke is picking up the pieces. a rocket came down in her yard 2 days ago . he doesn't need it, but then we're trying to replace the doors. we find some old ones because there are no more doors, not here and not there. i don't even know what the use of restoring everything is. we just, we fix it now and tomorrow, another shell hit boris as evacuated his wife to western ukraine where his daughter lives. you see what is happening here. nevertheless, he's determined to stay as long as help as needed. now, yes, her own as the saying goes, i hope is the last one to die. i'm on ukraine side who i trust the news and i was born in this town. your ideal to quit school.

i hope there will be no incoming shell or to restart this whistling humiliate. which sounds almost like we need to dive just months ago, they were dreaming of creating a cultural hub in new york. now it's all about surviving holiday mirrors. lensky has not visited eastern ukraine. that's a 1st since the war started. i also foreign policy analyst, jessica berlin. what signal he sending by going there? well, 1st he's showing solidarity with his troops. who are they're fighting and dying on since months, and indeed since 8 years in the dumbass. and secondly, he's drawing attention to the critical need. the ukrainian military has for increased support with weapons heavy weapons delivery from their western allies. so he's really highlighting the plight, but also the successes of the ukranian military showing that when they have the arms they need, they are able to take the fight back to the russians. they've been able to reclaim

vast amounts of territory since the war began. and really show the urgency for further western support. let's talk about those weapons that they lead to defend the east of the country. media reports here in germany, say deliveries from berlin. have stoled germany falling behind on its pledges. one can certainly frame it that way. yes, absolutely. let's remember, it's been 3 months since the war began a little less than 3 months since chancellor shaw it's made his famous site and vantage era change a speech to the bonus tag, saying that germany would send offensive weapons to ukraine. and also one month ago already, germany had offered and said that we would send heavy weapons to ukraine in a further shift. but in that past month, no weapons have arrived. and now the most recent announcement said that 15 anti aircraft or tanks would be sent in july. but we're moving at the speed of war and

who knows what was the situation in july, ukraine needs the weapons now. so the deep sense of frustration here and key right now at this perceived, these slow moving german response and dragging of feet. that soak diplomacy. now vladimir putin as using a naval blockade in the black sea to halt ukrainian grain export and his demonic sanctions. relief to stop the blockade. should the west negotiate with moscow on this? absolutely not. you cannot negotiate with terrorists. you cannot negotiate with a bully and vladimir putin knows. this is the leverage he has and threatening are now a blockade of the ports, which would unleash a global food crisis, threatening the use of nuclear weapons. these are his tactical threats to get western nations to back off and give him what he wants,

which is concessions from ukraine, which is territorial control over all of ukraine if he can get it. but as much as possible. busy so this is absolutely a classic tactic of aggression to try to get the west to back down, but to negotiate with him on this would be fatal. rather instead, the west need still use the deterrence and the leverage economically. and militarily that it has to make clear to vladimir putin that if he blockades this port and thus threatens the lives of millions of people around the world on who had faced hunger. that that would be aligned too far. and that the response from the west would be even greater. but you cannot negotiate and concede with him on this. he only will react to strength. and this threat has to be met with a greater threat of economic damage. thanks for that analysis. jessica belinda from keith. thank you. has a quick look now at some of the stories making use around the world. several

and the treatment of brazil's black population. official statements say that santos had resisted arrest and full and ill on the way to the police station. he was then taken to a nearby hospital where his death was confirmed. a preliminary autopsy concluded he died of as fixation, brazil's federal police have promised to open an investigation into his death. but that has done little to quell the fury of protesters. what, what is important is that they didn't give him a chance to live. what is that? people say there's no death penalty here there. sure is. there's a death penalty for the black population. a thought for many of those protesting on brazil straits. the death of a black man at the hands of police is an all too familiar story to columbia. now, where poles have opened for the presidential elections. the front runner is gustavo petro, a former rebel and man of bogota,

a microcosm of the country's problems. people were different approaches needed. that gives us a regional perspective that columbia has to be built from the provinces. we don't have all the answers, and we're not messiah saviors yet. we're not going to solve all the problems of colombian for years, but we are going to bill from the local level on a basis of getting people to participate. there's a lot. if elected gutierrez promises to grant 1000000 scholarships the students to build or improve 18000 kilometers of roads to boost rural areas and to plant 200000000 trees around the country to help the environment a key. i even us a very, very important proposals such as reactivating, the rural areas we activating social development by granting subsidies to mothers in charge of families and to the elderly, but also to mothers who have children with disabilities and who therefore cannot work. there are very important commitments in the social sphere, but also in the economics fair and didn't materials, yet,
