so you are not a visitor, not a guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information. ah ah ah, this is it, every news lie from berlin out numbered, but holding out, present zalinski says ukrainian forces are doing everything possible to resist the russian onslaught in the key eastern city of vera on at school. also coming up a promise of support. and on a visit to lithuania chester all i shall to balance to strengthen nato's eastern

flak. i made growing fears of further russian aggression and waves of grief. no jury of warns as survivors speak out after massacre a catholic church. 22 people were killed by a group of gunman armed with explosives, but it's still not know who is behind the attack. ah. hi, i'm layla her. ok, thank you so much for joining us. we open our coverage with the fierce street fighting reportedly underway in a key battleground in east and ukraine. ukrainian present volunteer. zalinski says his troops are holding out and the battle for his vera don't ask. despite being heavily outnumbered, russian forces are fighting for the city street by street,

taking it could be key for russia, sees in control of the eastern dumbass region is inflicting maximum damage. that is the goal for moscow, which released this footage of the call. it says at walk across ukraine's east. the destruction is evident. many of those who remain have lost everything for the new. so i do not even know where to start for you that i am standing here and looking, but i have no idea what to do with blood. i started crying, do i come down? then i cry again. and again, before the focus now is on the city of st. o. dot net, which could be key to gain control of the don back.

ukraine says it's troops out numbered, but holding strong. now she's annoyed. and as the youth was, our heroes are not giving up their positions in severe ordones. woolley fierce street fights continue in the city. no, ma, guy, the russian army is trying to deploy additional forces in the danverse direction. but it's the 103rd day you and the ukrainians. understand see it stance firmly. meets the cost of that resistance has been high even as russia tendons dire consequences to more help from the west. you korean says that for its embattled troops, more rapid could be the difference between life and death. and it'd be correspondence but his billing or is in cave. and earlier i asked him if it's clear what is happening, is there a don't ask very hard to say what's going on there. they le it some herb heavily

fought about what we know is that the ukranian seemed to her hold firmly to the industrial zone of the city, which is a little bit on the western side. and the russians seem to have dug in pretty well on the eastern side of the city. and everything that's in between is being fought about. the latest news that the russians were, again, controlling 80 percent of these residential quarters, or even the whole of these residential quarters yesterday and the day before it looked like the ukraine's had pushed them back pretty much to the east of the city . so um, well, what we can do the conclusions we can draw from that is that it spect back and forth in the center of the city, much of the city seems to be destroyed, which also makes it more difficult for her for that, for both armies to seek shelter and her holds positions and russia has sent new troops in there. we are hearing that sher recruits from mother to her russian controlled separatist republics from milo. hans and donetta have arrived and

ukraine has also reinforced its troops there already a few days ago. for bo size, i think this is a highly symbolic battle and a high and with a could have be a big impact on, on, on how this was going on. now as you know, there is a growing international concern about the tons of grain that are stuck in russian controlled ukrainian ports. is there any solution in sight? it's a big amount of grain. 20000000 tons that ukraine has been stock piling it because it was an able to export them. and her, what has been so far been what, what ukraine has been able to explore by other ways where roads and railroads is of course, much less than the ports are ships, just have the bigger capacity. but the ports are mine by the ukrainians because they few russian attack and blocked by the russians while out there with their black sea fleet. and that's the problem, the way out would be for both sides to agree to create a safe passage for them,

which would meet ne demining by the ukrainians, or at least 30 mining some, a parts of it in front of the ports. and it would need a 3rd, the russians to let the ships pass and no side has enough confidence in the other side. the ukrainians fear that if they would d mind parts of these areas the russians would use might use this as a means of attack. and russia, of course, has also used these grain exports as leverage, economic leverage on ukraine. they asked talk, schedules about these butcher. it's very difficult task to resolve. and final thought from you are mathias of wearing reports coming out of the russian occupied mario ball. yeah, we have been hearing that to the senator, a situation there is decreasing and it is a city where maybe up to 50000 people have been killed. that's the latest number

given by the ukrainian or authorities of although i doubt that anybody has a very exact number. um, and many of them had been either buried in the streets in the back yards of the or of the residential areas or just not buried or they're under the rubble. and that causes, of course, a severe concerns for drinking water. for example, we, i have also been hearing that there have been problems with a water being brought into the city. there seemed to be, have been, by some efforts by the russians to bring water there. but that all that means that to the worries i increasing about diseases and we are hearing about a cholera outbreak that might be on its way in the city did a request one mathias bellinger reporting from the ukrainian capital case. thank you. german chancellor shaw says berlin is ready to boost its military mission in lithuania on a visit to villainy. as he also met with leaders of the other 2 baltic states,

states, latvia, and estonia, given their proximity to russia. they've been calling for increased nato support to deter and defend against any possible aggression from moscow. here's the german chancellor, speaking through an interpreter by being made a part of nato, we have made a commitment to defend every centimeters, the territory of the alliance. we are going to increase our contribution by strength. strengthening the eastern flank of nato in the store. did have corresponded to river shadow is in vilnius, and he told me what message the german chancellor was trying to convey with his visit. which all of shawl said, his aim was to send a signal of unity of united to europe in the night at anita to russia, in the light off its warf aggression against ukraine or the german chancellor was of course repeatedly asked by the journalists here about the german, his hesitation to supply ukraine with heavy weapons. he had to justify himself

several times and say that to germany is already playing a very important role in supporting ukraine. economically, gemini, germany, germany is ukraine's biggest donor, but also militarily and not only ukraine, but especially here in the region. this eastern flag here is very important because little in a's, one of the 5 nato countries that share a land at border with russia along with latera. it's donia coolant and norway. ah, german goodness, the soldiers are stationed in the through any are leading and they to battle group and in the future. and this is the most important aspect of the german to present. here in lithuania will obviously be strengthened. possibly from the strength of a battalion to the strength of a brigade which includes up to $5000.00 soldiers. this promise of support by the german chancellor has that, sir. i made a nor amiable with the baltic leaders. they criticized me for not providing enough military aid to ukraine. well, here in the new st. lca, lithuania,

solidarity with ukraine is out everywhere. lithuanian is area is one of the most outspoken supporters of ukraine just a few days ago. the country collected almost $6000000.00 euros within a few days to buy a combat to drone for ukraine. another example is that to build new residents and businesses donate glass sheets to re glaze, the windows of bought a junk of the set of keys which have reportedly had been shut out by the russian bombs. ah, so the willingness to how is huge here among the people and that's why lithuanians have trouble understanding. germany's hesitation towards supporting the ukranian war effort at times frustration that the gym and hesitation was so great in the thing that people protested in front of the german embassy in vilnius. but not everything is negative. gemini has an excellent reputation because of its buddhist, their presence here, which has been here now for around 5 years and then is very grateful for this. did

have a correspondence. you're a shadow reporting it from the lithuanian capital vilnius. you're a thank you. well, as nato 6 to reinforce is eastern flank, russia is also looking to shore up its diplomatic ties for minister surgery, la ralph is due to meet with his turkish counterpart in ankara on wednesday. the trip come soon after mister la ralph was forced to cancel a visit to serbia after neighboring states refused to allow him to fly through their airspace. with me here on a such as my colleague did a re correspondent, emily assure when emily, we're going to talk in a minute about that upcoming visit to target by mr. law. but 1st, let's talk about nato's eastern flank reinforcement. how's that going to go downward? present, bruten, i doubt that that will elicit a positive reaction from the russian side. you have to remember that, of course, the initial true build up around ukraine started because as russia said, they didn't like nato's eastern expansion,

the continued eastern expansion. they said that is a security threat, and there's this picture within russia that almost russia is this besieged fortress surrounded by enemies. that's the picture that russia continues to paint, put, and continues to paint. also, the west destabilizing the situation, including with continued weapons and exports to ukraine, sort of aid when it comes to the military. and over the weekend, we already heard a threat in response to that from vladimir putin. he said that if the west, if western countries like the u. s. were to deliver a long range missiles to ukraine, then that would mean that russia could strike new targets as he said. so kind of this vague threat from his sides. we could expect that kind of a threat when it comes to this of these words about eastern expansion as well. i think a circle back to mars visit plan visit by the russian foreign minister, 2 turkey, turkey of course, playing a very interesting role. let's say in this conflict,

can you talk more about what we expect from this visit? i think the topic to watch tomorrow is certainly the grain exports that we already mentioned. 20000000 tons of grain are blocked in ukraine's ports at the moment. ukraine is one of is often referred to as the world's bread basket. and so that of grain that's blocked in the ports, is really worsening the global food crisis. turkey, as you mentioned, has been taking this interesting role of kind of a mediator coordinating, as they say, with russia and ukraine over. i'm trying to get that grain out of those ports and there's reports as well that turkey could be, cannot take kind of take part in the d, mining of the waters around those ports. or that it could also even provide an ex, an escort for ukrainian ships. worldwide, of course, you know, leaders have been accusing russia of blocking grain within ukraine's ports. love of yesterday said that it's actually ukraine's our fault and ahead of the meeting tomorrow. the russian ministry of defense has said that 2 of the ports that are

under russian control within ukraine are now ready for exports are operational. so it's almost seems as though russia is kind of setting up for a blame game, suave to see what comes out of the meeting tomorrow. right, right. now now since the beginning of the were you and i, we've talked many times about the abysmal situation of the media in russia and there's some encouraging news. i gather there is a since the were there's been this harsh crackdown which we talked about many times, as you mentioned, almost all remaining critical media outlets within russia were closed down had to leave the country, journalists had to flee. several media outlets reporting from outside the country and to including deutsch, vela, the bbc, the dues, and so on, were also blocked within the country. now one of those russian critical media outlets, tv, rain, known as dorsey, within the country, is actually now going to start broadcasting again. they've announced that they've received a broadcasting license within latvia. they can broadcast from thursday. the editor in chief on twitter said that they won't broadcast starting this week,

but they will start soon and that they'll be broadcasting from outside of russia. so from latvia and also from studios in countries like france, holland, and georgia. so that's positive news, but of course we have a kind of almost soviet situation now where the only critical media coverage of russia is coming from outside of the country. i am i, sharon, thank you so much. there is a quick round up now of some of the other developments, sir. in the war, fiji supreme court has ordered the removal of a $300000000.00. russian owned super yacht from the pacific island nation authorities seized the vessel last month on behalf of washington. as part of sanctions on russian oligarchy. commons by the european council presidents at monday's meeting of the un security council, have prompted russia's envoy to storm out. he left the session after shout, michelle accused russia of using global food supplies as a weapon in the war. with my own eyes, we turn our focus now to nigeria,

where waves of grief are rippling to were community after sunday's mash shooting and a catholic church. 22 people were killed and 50 injured when a group of gunmen opened fire on worshippers marking the christian holiday of pentecost. no group has claimed responsibility for the killings. the attack took place in the village of oak, in the south of the country region, which is usually spared the violin suffered by some communities in the north. and d, w is that all this cert, shakuma is on the ground in o. wu in nigeria is on those state and he visited the church where the attack took place. this is the church, the very judge, st. francis xavier, all walk on those stayed southwest nigeria went on sunday. gunmen came into the church hall through dynamite and shut out so many innocent people are about 6

people have been confirmed dead from the report that we are getting. and this is the debris, the aftermath of what happened about 48 hours ago in southwest nigeria, disquiet town. this church has become the center of world attention of what happened here on sunday morning during a church service. this is the west place where lives we are lost. they came here to worship, but not all of them made it back home alive, women and children. this scene here is one of shock and horror walking into the building of this church. the very smell of human blood is, was greets you the smell of human flesh and also the debris of dynamite glass gone shots

and people. it is hard to imagine what happened to on sunday, but only those who were here. the eye witnesses can describe what they saw before. many people come in here to witness this. the unthinkable messages have happened out. western church in nigeria are now joined by on year car chia and acoya, his the c e o of p r. 20 for risk management, consulting and a fellow at the nigerian institute of industrial security. and it comes to us from lagos, sir, a very warm welcome to the w news. a parts of nigeria sadly, have been struggling with security issues. how would you characterize the security situation in orlando state before this attack?

ok, thank you for having me. so on like what is known, i think our patient has not really been paid to those states. but what we do know is that they're on do, has a lot of natural resources. it's reaching gas include, or it has very good quality of good reserves of plea, of gemstones amongst other resources. there has been a little ego mine in our tv where they are all the remote call communities do state now all war which is where these they need or call. how to very huge for us. we have a lot of movie. also there's being be, those came issues between the local groups set up by the southwest and god knows for them to come bought some of the forum to come bought some of the

issues between the families on the head in the community. so really be fairly quiet states, but we lot of incidents or coroner around the fringes of the state. so that's how describe the state. now, unfortunately, of course, this congregation was directly targeted. what are authorities doing? can you talk to us about the role of nigerian authorities doing to support communities and what are they doing to prevent this from happening again? you know, quite frankly, and i'll be very frank about this. the government can not really do so much at this time. for example, the address military has over 31 appreciate and ongoing across that once the in the sixty's that makes up the federation a whole new year. so the military is currently stretched. nigeria had the police also about 300000 plus or minus the 100000 were gross no,

the police by about $220000.00 police men. so what the police and the lawyer, what we have to do basically is to play catch up and not the bulk of what the government is doing. and instead of call us the statements made, then a new or pre sean is started. and then the, it's almost like learning weed for the next dental call. you must remember then that your doesn't have a state police force. so everything is left to the federal police. i mean, mean didn't need to let us all would have to evolve the federal police. so that's, that's given the would be cream it out in the initiative and not allowing the government for to take the fight to the criminal. so it's a very big landmark now that in $3000.00 square, louis does a lot to protect. we don't, we don't teach me young people bought by over 5 countries for by the was i,

one prices are the order. so the government does really have a lot of things on the side right now. is there a fear now that this could lead to a new wave of violence? yeah, absolutely. i think that this is happening a very bad time when i do. yeah. because then literally i'm going to personal every day on the eve of every legal election. we were people like in that case the violent crime an arbiter. and we're coming to that said the ruling party just in hobbies election. and so now we need the flood barrier to de and what happened is that that was, that will be willing to go mark cbt followed by, saw my pocket to volunteer. and so this is happening the very bottom side, and only would compound what's happening now. i would also see that that certainly

was theme because on those, the border states like atp endorse the 5th, my uncle who senior number i was reported in inquiry, which is about 4 hours a week from lucy. and of course, the federal go elements that in sentiment currently ongoing nigeria and need to meet with go to sean smith. we just tried to thread, you know, just to negotiate a better position. i do fear that we may begin to see more what our tax we don't in a bog expose when it comes the, you know, and that's the, that's the thing to fear. the, the boxes, we show me the compounded by police politics and point you can on a catchy, at korea c o f, your 20 for risk management, consulting, and security analyst. so we thank you for your time. thank you for taking our questions. thank you. the trial begins to day

of 2 men suspect, or has already started. i should say, of 2 men suspected of killing the prominent dutch investigative. cram jonas better air the fleece. he was shot at close range in amsterdam last year and died 9 days later. at the time the fleece was working as an advisor to a witness and a major trial involving an organized crime gang. a beloved journalist in the netherlands, peter, out of re spent his life and career fighting to uncover the truth behind murders and crime stories, many of which law enforcement had given up on i central my principles. i think i'm just doing my work that work though set him against many of his countries, most criminal, and most corrupt. and on july, the 6th 2021. while leaving a t. v studio in central amsterdam. he was shot in the head from close range

to memory, rested shortly after a nice dance, miles in his mother. it was 9 days after he was shot, that at the age of $64.00, peter arteries died in hospital. his murder rocked the nation, and people are looking to this trial to deliver justice, actually up from the bottom of my heart that this is oppression would this will be justified. and i every to actually help. so, but it's just really unfortunate that this things keep happening. the assassination is widely considered to be ordered by the mockery, mafia, criminal gang who had already killed the brother and the attorney of a key witness in the case against them. peter r. devries had been supporting that witness. and he w correspondent jack carrick was in the court room and he described the scene. it's been an emotional 1st day here at the trial of the 2 men suspected and charged with the murder of peter alta vries, his family, his son and his daughter,

both the dress, the cords and in fight address the 2 accused directly. the son royster vries told the men that had they have looked at his father in the eye and asked him for help instead of pulling the trigger that he would have done. so. now the loaner g is a 22 year old dutch national. he is accused of actually pulling the trigger of the shot that eventually killed peter r. devries. he has said nothing in the court room. he is neither pled guilty nor not guilty is invoked his rights to remain silent as, as is the case in the netherlands. camille is a polish national, a 35 year old who resides it in the netherlands. his defense has been that he simply was a driver that he didn't believe he was going to be involved in a murder. but the prosecution service in the netherlands has thrown a ton of evidence cctv under my evidence that it ledges to link him to the murdered dna on the murder weapon. also videos that show him on the same street,

the police rodriguez was murdered in the days perceiving the assassination checked paragraph reporting for you from amsterdam. before i let you go, reminder of our top story, this, our ukrainian president, a lot of years lensky says his troops are fighting to hold their positions in the eastern city of severity. next, despite being heavily outnumbered, russia says it's forces now have control of residential areas. the city is seen is key for russia's bid to conquer the dumbass region. that he was continues right here after kick off with a review of the bonus legacies. and i'll see at the top of the hour. thanks for joining us. ah ah, with
