in the east. what are the chances of ukraine turning things around there? well, exactly. nicole or russia is a trying in all of its reserves in or what is expected by, by the ukranian armed forces to be decisive battles for a follow hands. for don asked for this entire dumbass region, which russian troops have sought to, to conquer, over the past 4 months. a bit of a breaking news here with her who is finally d, arrival of how it says how it says that were promised by germany and our to ukraine was asking for 4 months now. they are, they have finally arrived. it has been announced by ukraine's defense minister, alexey leznik. of he said that he really appreciated all the efforts of his colleague and the german defense minister christine lamb, breast in support of ukraine and defiantly as well. he said,

our artillery man will bring the heat to the battlefield. so heavy weapons that have been asked for for months now by ukraine finally on the ukrainian territory with the army. or did you create an army that was awaiting those weapons to finally respond in kind to the russian troops. now we talk about military ede and military advances, but of course we can't forget about the human toll of it all. what do we know about the feet of the civilians trapped in the upper center of the fighting? well, for example, you were mentioning several done yes as a chemical plant there the other chemical plant where it is believed to be between 30600 civilians. trapped there, including a dozens of children. we find ourselves in a situation that we are sally already know of was the as of style as steel plowed in matter. you ball where civilians are trapped. also people in several don, yes,

get done. have any means to get out of their city because all the bridges have been destroyed as well as their main highway leading to the city. so no way out and also no way in for supplies. electricity is cut off water supply that cut off not only dare, but in many, many places in the eastern part of the country, which are currently occupied by the russian aggression. and you yourself spent the past the last couple of days visiting the keys suburbs, some of them associated with, with the worst horrors of the russian aggression, namely european hostile mail. can you tell us a bit about what you saw there? well i for one, it was a very impressive to see the extent of the destruction or with my own eyes. it's one thing to see reports. and also for a journalist then it's another to be on the field and to see at the amount of the destruction are to us to see that even 2 months after her, after russian or troops retired, retreated from those places. well, they are still,

there's just so much things to be repaired, so many windows that are broken so many houses that are still not arbiter bell any more. and of course, the sufferings of the people is still out there very much there to see very impressive as seen of devastation around keith as well. d w, responded emma shars and keep many things. meanwhile, russia, as foreign ministry has summoned the use ambassador to russia over what moscow calls a blockade on goods transit and transiting through lithuania to the russian. ex clave of colleen and grad lithuania, halted the rail transit of goods including construction material, metals and coal. after a new package of ease, sanctions against russia came into force late last week. colon and rod is wedged between nato members, lithuania and poland. and russia security council chief warrant lithuania of serious consequences if the ban isn't lifted. here's what the lithuanian prime

minister said in response. the green arrow, your blue wing, it has no interest in an escalation that the sanctions must be implemented. it's ironic to here russia accuse us of international treaty violations. because i don't know if there is any international treaty that russia itself hasn't violated, run the pleasure, elissa to w. corresponding constantine i got is in the lithuanian capital vilnius, and he told us about people's concern about possible russian aggressions. people here are concerned 247 people in the baltic states, including 1st and foremost all this when they consider themselves to be on the front line. and in this respect, there is concern about possible russian action. but i think of the fact that the youth pastor was called into the foreign ministry. moscow for explanations probably shows that more school will have to basically be the reality. what the 20th did is part of the european you sanctions. the 4th fact adopted quite some time ago,

and there was no way that when you could not, no, not do that. i could not block the specific goods from transit. i have to say that all the goods and people can still transit morrow to that military transit, which is effectuated between russia by billows to cleaning. rob still continues. it is subject to a special bi lateral treaty between lithuanian russia and there was no disruption there. as for the measures that russia can impose on the 20th, well, there is actually not much that can be done. probably they can prevent lithonian citizens from traveling to cleaning grow. but there are not many of them, frankly speaking. so it will be difficult to imagine what kind of major pushback from the credit could invent is a round up of other stories related to the war we're following for you. at the sour,

russian president vladimir putin has dialed up the rhetoric on his war and ukraine . another not without mentioning ukraine directly, and said in a speech on tuesday, that rush as newly tested nuclear capable ballistic missile system, known as star mat, would be ready for deployment by the end of the year. with both bear, with and hollywood doctor ben stiller has spent the day in ukraine and met with president volota mere zalinski to mark the you and hcr is world refugee day. filler is a goodwill ambassador for the you. when's refugee agency and he visited levine and keith, where he viewed war damage and met ukrainians, forced to flee their homes to east africa. now where the death toll from a massacre, an ethiopia or a mia region, has risen to at least $260.00 officials said rebels targeted ethnic. i'm horror of villagers at the latest atrocity in ethiopia as nearly 2 year old civil war that began and the northern t cry region. government forces are trying to oust the te gray people's liberation

front from stronghold there are the war has spilled over into other parts of the country, leaving thousands dead and millions displaced. he w correspondent, maria and miller visited the town on the border of the t gray region that has been shattered by ethnic violence, deserted and destroyed in december last year to grain fighters loyal to the t gray people to liberation front or a t p l f. attack the border town of abala and they left their mark. a ballet used to have a mixed population of ethnic to grounds and afar. in the days leading up to the t belief attack witnesses tell us. fighting had already broken out along ethnic lines between afar residence a far militia and local to grounds, causing many to leave. as you can see, the destruction is systematic. every house on this road has been damaged. the to

grain fighters went from door to door, looted and damaged everything they could find was to he has seen the mayor of abala has since returned together with armed men. an attempt to reinstate some sense of security on the cylinder. could borrow money to canceling. the shelling was relentless animal like rain, more than 225 people died in what omen they killed the elderly in their homes and others while they were escaping. good mother followed them as a sweetener zeros and killed them. so don't zoom only in with them either. they also read several women. he says the t p l f and the government declared a ceasefire. it's fragile, but it's been in for since march. in late april tpl f i t as withdrew from a balla and other territories in the far region, little allowing 8 convoys into the t gray region. but a palace may r t i s n says the t p a laugh never really left or for the less than a long way say we're fully withdrawn from a thought a little,

but they haven't really fully left of level the hill that you see there are there up there now? don't is gail come back once they have received enough food aid as a warrant? they had enough of it. they will use it that a war jojo looked at a nearby cemetery. we meet mohammed to sane. a local health official who has helped very close to 60 bodies. among them were several children. he tells us. but alan capital, i have a heavy heart english manager. i am lost for words by them later, this is left a scar in my life. if al and i'll never forget this in to mother's home, but it's not just lives that have been lost. local infrastructure lies in ruins as well. without its rug router, they destroyed the hospital with everything that's useful. the x ray machine, the cam lab and the laboratory, they took everything and they broke the rest of the refund and both the fighting has caused a rift between the 2 communities. both now accused each other of massacres,

destruction, and looting. we found signs of t p laugh actions, but to grind witnesses also made claims of a foreign militia aggressions. they say they're targeted and killed several to ground residence before transporting several 1000 to the regional capital samarra. the head of the u. n. h. c r. 's field office in samarra confirmed that around 8000 people have been held at a government run camp. men to accommodate about 1500 people this on ah, national and international standards. the true. that's that the true living community living human conditions. he says, among those detained are about 1200 children, many suffering from malnourishment. we tried to gain access to the camp, but were denied by local authorities who also refused to grant us interviews. we did, however, manage to hear from one of the people in the camp. he sent us these pictures. he told us via fawn that people are suffering from diseases like scabies, diarrhea,

and pneumonia. that there is not enough food and no medical care. he says 70 people, including 5 children, have diet since december due to lack of medicines and food. no one knows when the border towns residence will return. or if they will ever get to call a balla their home again. and for more i can now talk to colorado and joe, he, she is a journalist in the if he'll be in capital, addis ababa colette a welcome. last week, ethiopia, prime minister abbey ahmed, announced a committee that would look at potential peace talks with rebel grooves. how likely is the negotiated solution you thank? well, that'll have depend on there is also the committee that is expected, at least around, probably towards the end of this month. which is about 15 days from when the prime minister talked about this in parliament. and with that, then you can come a guidance, guidance to the government if you want, what the possibility of having

a decision in a way that a national security, that's what the problem is to see or the other side of the open letter they sent through social media handles, they saved and ready for that should be investigated making like at least a 4 piece thoughts. how that should be done and when, which is, which is what they call it. ok. appetite for negotiations. that's a good start. but when, when both parties be willing or able to compromise on i think will any successful negotiation process compromised must be on the table by one of the main one functions. because a lot of that will have to agree with the compromises. at least all whatever the site to compromise on both parties, it will be to make sure that they're more than likely people and you know, issues that i did by this conference really getting some sense of normalcy. so

based on that, then there is a compromise or whatever, i'm sure they come up, we will really put in mind the fact that people need to go back to their lives. so we'll need to see what will say when the time comes. we don't know when that time. now, since the outbreak of the conflict almost 2 years ago, human rights groups have reported atrocities by both rebel groups and the theo, pin army. what does that mean for civilians? who can they trust at this point? good, good. good question. and that kind of compromises, i mean, also the fact that on what kind of piece people are looking at, you know, because we want to people that don't want to be people that i'm 50 and trust in that trust a chance should be. and there might be a day, i think that they are the whole of issue negotiation process that will be because what the government government has accepted and what it, that sound them minimis. now we did this actually because you know, so both of them on the other side of to build that chest of citizens. so that would

make decision process will happen if it happens or waiting happens. so track must be at the core of this new decision process. you're based in addis ababa. how does the ethnic conflict affect co existence there in the capitol? obviously there is to ensure, you know, so much tension that some of it can be seen. you know, most of the people from the group feel that they're not really sitting in some parts of the country. we have on the other side of the region, the region that where they have been posted to these, this kind of spilled over to even the c t, you know, in so many things on the outside. we have a region that kind of things over here. so that kind of creates tension and it's not anything that that affects the normal way of living for so many people, some people even fear, you know, somebody to an entity and that is not good for. busy formal complaint,

difficult scenario. they're colacho and joey. thank you so much. thank you. now take a quick look at some other stories making headlines at the sour, british rail workers or staging their biggest national strike in 30 years. networks will largely be brought to a standstill on tuesday, thursday and saturday this week, some 40000 staff of walked off the job demanding higher pay in england, scotland and wales. sri lanka has shut schools and non essential state services for 2 weeks. in an effort to save fuel, the nation is in the grips of its worst. ever. economic crisis calls for the president of resign are growing louder as people faced severe shortages of essential goods and the members of israel's coalition. government said they will dissolve. parliament triggering a 5th parliamentary election in just 3 years. a coalition has been in office for

widespread controversy, a hooked nose, fangs and bloodshot eyes, paired with the side carls traditionally warned by ultra orthodox jews. the image is parts of a work of art. by the indonesian collective tart, p a t i. it took center stage at the document to holland castle thesis build them does is he had ski, it least illustration clearly has anti semitic imagery, protection against anti semitism, as well as protection against racism and any form of misanthropy of fundamental human values. long and if those values aren't respected than the freedom of expression in art has its limitations. coons fly. ideally gunther in the same work of art, a man would have pigs noses depicted as a member of masada, the israeli foreign intelligence service. this too is an anti semitic stereotype. the israeli embassy reacted by tweeting documents promotes global style propaganda . marin mandel is the director of the anne frank educational center. he's equally

appalled and demands that the artwork be removed means farther than we also need to question exactly how such a picture was created in the 1st place. and then how it was allowed such a prominent place in the exhibition or the enzyme homan entered dots in there and there are still in the lower part of the artwork are depictions of massacres and genocides. the holocaust is notably missing. the central kinds of jews has been highly critical of this. they said document as organizers guaranteed, there would be nothing anti semitic in this year's exhibition. clearly, the organizers have failed when it comes to the topic of anti semitism. the exhibition has denied any connection with anti semitism and apologize for any hurts caused and for a moron sled spring. and alan pausing is an author and journalist and has been following the story very closely mister posey. welcome to the w. first up, the question on everybody's mind, how can something like this happen at an art show in germany of all places

woke this was going to happen. i mean, this was something that was, is a catastrophe which was going to happen. everyone with any knowledge of the group which juris this exhibition, said they are antisemitic. they have ties and submitting organizations like b d. s. we've been and we were decry credits like myself, the central council of jews. other people were decried as racists for assuming that an i dissimilar grew, would produce under somebody art. but we said this and i've seen claudia hort, are a coachman reserve just on the news just now? she was told this was going to happen. she knew this was going to happen, but she funded it. she's responsible. i've seen that one mender on your program just now. his wife defended the exhibition just

a week ago in the newspaper. he, someone who advise is our government. the point is germany still doesn't take anti israel antisemitism seriously. cloudy hoard doesn't take it seriously. or the people who organized the funding, her secretary of state, andreas guardian doesn't take it seriously. the me you don't take it seriously until it happens. and then it's too late, then i don't want to say, oh happened, this happened in germany. what it happened in germany was no one took responsibility in the 1st place. no one vis into the critics. that's how it can happen. germany, what now the damage is done. what should the consequences be and what do you think the consequences will be? the consequence should be that the organizer of the end of the document are the principal responsible and this is mrs. shaw man, who immediately resign or plus her advisory groups should immediately resign on how

your hort should have the man responsible for funding address garden. you should leave his office and they should be. they should be replaced by people who will help the group which organizes a documents out there weren't cooper, indonesia group to salvage the rest of the art show in the interest of art in the interests of fight, of the fight against racism and against anti semitism. and in the address the cause of the documentary continued maybe next year, because if they don't do this, this would be the end of one of most prestigious act chosen germany. it will be a terrible blow to cast his reputation as a city or blow to germany's reputation as a country which is supposed to learn something out of its fascist part. and it would be a blow to the whole go south, which is moved is of incapable of producing an exhibition which is not anti semitic . do you think any of this will happen, though?

these are the suggestions you make, but do you think all these heads will roll? let me the all the heads that i'm i'm. i can see i really cannot see how the person responsible for this exhibition mrs. sherman can keep up post if, if i can just, you know, organize an exhibition where jews are portrayed as wine, where, where the jew is for afraid as a vampire with the g. you see, that is, if this is possible, the journey today and nothing happens, you keep your so you go on to say, oh, well, that's a pity then, then, then this shortie did this. this cannot happen to germany today. you know, i'm critical of a lot of things that the guy my friend was about to leave and then when i got that camera cannot happen, mr. pose that thank you so much. thank you. it rang and child refugees. are the beneficiaries of
