urges voters to back his interest movement, but he faces a strong challenge from a left wing alliance. we follow one of its candidates on the campaign tramp and more extreme weather, floating in north east india and finally, dash heavy monsoon rains have devastated the region, leaving dozens of people dead millions homes. ah i'm pablo foley as welcome to the program. ukrainian president, vall admitted to lansky, has visited troops on the southern frontline while his army battles, a russian on slaughter. and don bos, region, ukrainian forces have also been fighting off attempts by russia to seize more territory near the southern cities of mc alive and odessa. with little change to frontline positions in recent days,

the head of nato jens sultan burg says the or could go on for years with inspecting the devastation with his own eyes. ukraine's president followed amid zalinski on his 1st tour of the southern front. in the strategic port of odessa and the embattled city of mc alive, the president awarded metals to the soldiers and doctors defending the front lines . his visit comes only a day after a russian strike killed 2 people. an injured 20 in mc alive. despite constant russian shelling in ukraine south, the main conflict remains focused on the don best in the east. through i'd weary the focus of the invaders is now on the cities of seattle dynamics combat moody shop to improve the tactical position. the enemy tried to conduct assault operations outside the city gone, but was unsuccessful because no molly, over the past few months, russia has taken control of almost all of the east,

and lu hunter province, largely due to an overwhelming artillery advantage. outnumbered and outgunned, ukraine has repeatedly urged the west to send heavy a weapons to the front lines. was blowing a dias. mazda, we have good weapons, but we need much better once we need artillery the shoots farther, our technology dates back to the eighty's. we take care of it often, but it still gets broken out of gear, which in fact the, who the look you. western deliveries of heavy artillery have taken time. but some, including these u. s. made how it says already having an impact on the battlefield. you actually, somebody isn't, it's a mutual difference between the weapons we had before and the new one. so member. so this canon is much more precise which nisha it use faster and a simple to operate your some i because it's low to the ground, it's easier to camouflage. at least just lead the zoom. the lecture you must go out there as the war increasingly becomes

a battle of artillery. western military supplies are ever more critical. but for the ukrainian troops holding on in the don bus, the weapons aren't coming fast enough. we'll let's go to dw correspondent emanuel shes who's in keith. good to see you. a manuel now volunteered savanski has travel to the southern frontline for the 1st time. how important is this for ukrainians to see their president leaving the capital? ah, well not him. he is a landscape, a president of all of the ukrainian is not just people based in careful people who have had to feed a country following this war. and he is very much proving its ad by dis, visits on the southern france, which has been under, at nearly constant shelly and which has suffered a heavy fighting. and of course heavy losses for the ukrainian army. you have to keep in mind that there's at least

a 100 ukrainian sold. it may be much more dying on a daily basis. so i think it's quite important that the president is coming to visit the troops for a to boost their morale. and also he was handing out some meadows to talk to some soldiers who had been injured, but also for civilians. it's important that they don't only see their president or giving addresses from the presidential palace posts and posting his addresses of social media. it's important for ukrainians to see that their president is very much hands on and it is pretty, pretty much on their side because you notice a huge difference in this war about what is happening in the eastern frans and on the southern front compared to it. places that feel relatively safer, like human key if life is, of course not normal because everybody is very much aware. it is a war going on, but we not under constant shedding just out,

just like in other parts of the country. so very significant visit today. no nato general secretary at yes dalton berg told the german newspaper today that the war in ukraine could last a years. how much of a blow is this for ukrainians? and is there much discussion on what that might look like for you crime? what really a struck me when i was talking to people here is that they are determined to not stop fighting until the last russian. so the we have it, we have left a country that swats at mayo be that eclipse comb key of may of it. and it please call was saying yesterday he was saying, well, you can, we'll only go back at the negotiation table when the fight defies, saying will have ended. and when all the russian soldiers will have, would have left ukrainian. so this just shows you just how determined people are. you have to keep in mind that it, ukraine didn't, you know, it didn't, isn't the aggressor in that conflict?

it's defending its land is defending its culture. so there's an incredible sentiment of resilience of determination to fight, no matter the cost. unfortunately, the cost is very, very high. not just for soldiers is also conflict civilians who are dying on a daily basis here in ukraine. emanuel shies in cave, thank you. here is a round up of the of other stories making news around the world. hundreds of people have protested in tel aviv against israel's occupation of the west bank. protesters carried banners and signs mark and 55 years since israel took control of the territory after the 6 day war. in 1967, some demonstrators waved palestinian flags. u. s. health officials have recommended coven 19 vaccines made by, by on tech pfizer and madonna for children as young as 6 months. this was the last

group without access to the shots. the government is gearing up ford the roll out early next week with millions of doses ordered for distribution. colombians are preparing to elect a new president polarizing choices between leftist former gorilla fighter style pencil and business magnet for it. and under whose being compared to don donald trump, both men are neck and neck, and the poles, firefighters and spain are struggling to control. while fires in several parts of the country, fires have burned tens of thousands of actors of land. an intense heat wave has been affecting western europe in recent days, with temperatures breaking record highs for the month. while poles of opened in the 2nd and final, the final round of frances parliamentary elections. polls suggest president emanuel microns allies will emerge as the biggest party in the new national assembly. but a projected strong showing by a new left wing alliance could deprive my court of the absolute majority. he needs

to push through his reform agenda, a new face and a new political force grabbing the headlines in france. i mean that's an jak id is one of a number of flashbanc candidates who made it to the 2nd round of parliamentary elections here. the parisian lawyer is part of a new leftist alliance called snoop, which has shaken up the political landscape. but if people like me are needed to put port ecological issues, social justice and democracy. it's those issues the broad green socialists the far left and communist together. just the head of the selections. g'night, the long divided left in france, and to take on the business friendly policies of president emanuel. my call when he was re elected in the presidential pause as 2 months ago. my crawl was under no impressions about the reasons for his when just so see,

i know that many of our compatriots voted for me today or not because of my ideas. this is, this is a book. but me block those of the far right symbols. beds in these parliamentary elections. macross main adversary is not the fair rights of marine la, penn. it's the veteran, far left politician charlie miller, shaw and the nip coalition, who could cause macro most problems. they garnered as many votes as macros. alliance. 26 percent. after winning a 2nd term in april, emmanuel, my pharmacy will be president for all french people. but after the 1st round of voting for the national assembly, it's clear not all friends people, one's him. he could lose his absolute majority here at the fence parliament. but the left scaling is here, don't necessarily mean a shift to the left for french politics. quite the reverse loop,

poor lagossi or less of the weight of the left in the national assembly and could push my calling to negotiate with right wing m p was dizzy. this could even make him move his reforms to the right. an ironical consequent clinic delay stressful. i mean, that's an yeah, got is confident. her lines will have another strong showing and sunday, 2nd. and decisive frowned. and that they pick up more boats from some of the 50 percent of voters who didn't take part last time. i am expecting to, when i expect young people to vote people from working class neighborhood, people who are worried about their retirement age as a movie, they would think whether the pressure comes from the left or right in monterey, on the call. we'll have to be prepared to make more compromises to push through his policies in the coming parliamentary term or in the 1st round france recorded

a low turn to and we asked journalist elizabeth tay if that will change in the 2nd . that's an interesting question because as my court himself sat in the quote in your, in your a film, he said, i know that people voted against all of them for me. and this is going to carry you some. some people are going to be scared enough to buy the whole left, especially in economic matters. read all show all the new leader to come and forced themselves to vote for the course. but either of you to say a pox on both your houses and still no vote. and every single study for a long time say that young people do not vote as much as older people who do those . all the rooms basically. and some of the gen x is much more than young people on the left has a majority of young voters and especially 18 to 35. they, they all the ones who voted the most for a new job. so that,

that still sort of creates a, a yet, and, and that was journalist and, and he's up at metate in paris or moving on. and that ne, india and neighboring bangladesh have been hit by heavier than usual monsoon rains, causing widespread floating at least 9 people. have been killed and 2000000 left homeless in the indian state of a sam. experts, a floods following seasonal rains are increasing due to climate change. devastating floods on least by monsoon storms. millions of people in bangladesh and india saw their homes submerged under water. the floods have killed dozens in both countries. families are mourning the death of their loved ones. this man lost 2 of his grandchildren. let him over. as wit,
