but keeps as it needs more weapons and fast that plus a new elvis movie that has fans all shook up gentlemen. i play the film tells the story of the king of rock and roll, but critics a split over whether it does he just ah i'm anthony how'd walk into the program. we begin with some breaking news that being that more than a 1000 people have been killed in an earthquake that hit eastern afghanistan. i've been not hundreds more awarded the 6 point one that magnitude quakes rock pac chica province. a remote area near the border with pakistan, a local official posted on social media that 90 houses were destroyed and dozens of people are feed trapped beneath the rubble. rescue operation is on the way and

helicopters are being used to breach the injured. the disaster comes at a time when afghanistan is battling a severe humanitarian crisis, worsened by the taliban takeover or france. maddie is a freelance journalist in kabul and joins us now. france, oh, what more do we know at this stage? the official tale bong round state news agency just reported that the death toll is over 1000 and over 1500 people 100 alone into this shakes indiana in bar mall in poverty call of that said it should be kept in mind that these districts are don't have that much of a population. so these numbers are very, very significant. and 1st responders had already in the morning reached the area for nearby cities. are there is full touch off of helicopters, learning that were also om confirmed by local sources. so 8 has reached

a place and, but of course, given the, the scale of the devastation are not sufficiently yet. and it takes time to bring more aden, material, excavators on site, front of weather conditions, the relative isolation of the bridge and all make this difficult. i wonder how much assistance are the taliban government equipped to offer in an emergency on a scale like this? what the taliban government can offer is most likely limited. they already before struggle to provide public services because the government is on the funded also to have already before being dependent on international aid. also today they called on 8 organizations to step in. so much will depend on how false aid organizations are can react and can get aids to these rather remote areas.

stereos are accessible by road and it's not, they are not the best roads on paved often. and i, it takes time to shape um, whatever is needed to such places that rival own take several hours. so it is a logistically difficult friends muddy in afghanistan. thanks so much. well, nearly 5 months into the ukraine, warren, germany has delivered its 1st heavy weapons to ukraine. ukraine's defense ministry says it's received 7 so propelled houses, german harmonies, most modern artillery system, and has ukrainian cruise trained in. they use berlin as fast criticism for its initial hesitation. in supplying heavy weapons to ukraine and for its perceived slow delivery of them. after you crying,

the weapons cannot come soon enough and it says, it needs many more. russia continues to my gains in the dumbass region in what has become a grinding war of attrition. everything that can then is on fire. that's how the governor of ukraine's the hands gray gen described. the situation here. russia is intensifying attacks in ukraine's east ukrainian defenders inch of your internet's still holding out in the besieged as a chemical plant. there last stronghold in the city, hundreds of civilians, a sheltering that and the russian troops withdrew from her cave last month. the shelling has started once again. this footage shows what was once an educational building now in ruins. oh was blue nixon. there were no armed forces,

all representatives of territorial defense from all the national guard, and in this building when it was hit off. so this strike was solely directed as a place of city infrastructure in order to intimidate the civilian population. and you've also wolf legal that intimidation takes the form of words as well as weapons . without directly mentioning ukraine, russian president vladimir putin announced that a new nuclear capable ballistic missile system, known as sam matt would be ready for deployment by the end of the year, new by new was always in addition to the new weapons, already tested on the battlefield. where the troops began to receive s $500.00 m missile defense systems. so unlike any other, the heavy intercontinental ballistic missile sa, matt, was successfully tested, give her ceremony. it is planned that the 1st complex will appear on combat duty. at the end of the year, you would use also, oh ukraine hopes that a boost to its military arsenal in the form of long awaited how it says from

germany may help it pushed back against the ration of salt. but keith says it's received only a fraction of what it needs with, not long after they were delivered for. this was russia's response footage, released by russia's defense ministry, which they say shows the destruction of how it says sent by the u. s. and e u. but ukraine's morale and will to defend itself is proving much harder to destroy. so a significant moment for germany as finally delivered its 1st heavy weapons to you, crime, following months of criticism. but how significant is this moment for keith? while i put that question to our correspondence in the ukrainian capital, rebecca british well finally, really being the kaywood there, anthony. and the word actually that the credit defense minister used when he tweeted the confirmation that these how it says when now part of the ukrainian

arsenal. he said i'm happy to finally have them part of the else part with the arsenal. i mean, there has been a heavy criticism on germany as we know just that they haven't been a doing enough be doing it fast enough. and while of course, all support is welcomed here and met with open arms by the ukranian government and the military. there is a real sense both in government circles and on the street that really this is just about time germany, a fraction of what they've promised as you've just been reporting. but what else they've been promised that by, by in way of heavy weapons. and germany says won't make it here until at least the end of the summer, even on the autumn. and that is just, you know, really quite not fast enough for ukraine when they're watching at least 200 sold his die every day. they're still heavily out. guns and we're just, we're seeing them really struggling to hold the fences in the east in the dumbass. and so you know, all to might just be a little too little too late. they say that was the deputy correspondent, rebecca,

written in the ukrainian capital. keith, well, i diplomatic dispute between russia and lithuania is escalating. the boat estate is blocked the rail transit of sanctioned goods through its territory to the russian exclaim of colleen and bred with you when he says it's just following it, you god launch. but moscow's threatening what it calls serious consequences bound from russia to russia. this train is bringing goods from russia's heartland to x, x clave of colin and grad. colon grad is separated from the rest of russia by 2 countries, lithuania and belarus. could while bella roosters letting all russian trains transit its territory, lithuania has started blocking all trains carrying sanctioned goods lightly senior, doing anything. it's our european sanctions that are started working from the 17th of june. coal metal cement would building materials and high tech goods are among

the items on the sanctions list. they count for up to 50 percent of all goods bound for cleaning grad. moscow has called the parcel transit banner hostile blockade and is threatening nato member lithuania. you see a bridge actually in a freight traffic between the kellen in grad region and the rest of russia's territory is not fully restored. in the next few days, russia retains its right to take measures to defend its national interests. he gives way, not only hinted, as of russia insists that international freight transportation agreements must be respected and is accusing lithuania, violating the human rights of its citizens and cleaning grat. that you has rejected moscow's criticism and isn't turn accusing the russian government of exploiting. the partial trends had been for its own ends. don't walk, alamo did. they could have expected this. the russian side knew full well that

sanctions will limit the transport of goods and, and now using this as a weapon and information war understood, passenger trains from russia continued to pass through lithuania without any problems. however, travelers are not allowed to get off the train back here at the station and vin. yes. in order to get around the blockade. russia now wants to, you see roots as an alternative. in the meantime, fears are growing that moscow could try to further escalate to stand off. lab, be rich, if you ever shed i filed that report and joins us from the latvian capital of rigor yreka to see what's the importance of colleen and grad for russia. all killing and wrote is very important for russia. we can call it a strategic piece of land for russia like an unsinkable aircraft your craft carrier in the baltic sea. and the whole region is highly militarized. and intelligent ransom of russia's short range, ballistic escandone missiles are stationed. i,

they can be equipped with the nuclear, where warheads are russian. people learned from the state television repeatedly that these rockets could easily destroy european capital, some just a minutes. at the same time, moscow officially remains tight lipped about to the question. if there are indeed atomic weapons in telling and grout, but right on the other side of the border, the little alien government is sure about the matter. ah, if you mix egoless any risk offence minister claimed atomic bumps have always been stationed in calling and grat. so given its importance, what counter measures might russia type? russia has been threatening our for months and now it's doing so more and more blade blatantly. just a few days ago, rush us parliament submitted a proposal which would revoke lithuanian independence, which russia had recognized after the collapse of the soviet union in the 90s. this

proposal also raised this is the question of the letter in a serenity, serenity. and in particular, whether the baltic sea port of clyde pare down can really be considered a part of lithuania, of course, from the west and point of view. these are the most abstruse threats. what is more likely is that that russia could completely block azrael traffic to with the union . and that could also hit the you members, it little in, in economically madison ridiculous to ask for months ago, uri, but when russia talks about defending national interests. what does that mean in this context? could russia attack lithuanian militarily? well, russia is unpredictable, like we saw it in ukraine are ultimately we can't rule out a military intervention on the baltic states completely, but the kremlin knows very well well as if it would pay an extremely high price for it. this when it is a member of the you and even more important part of net or nato. a russian attack

on this or any would mean for moscow and all out of war with the entire western military alliance. so mosque or north north that. and when russian politicians bluster aah with russian state beck propaganda together about nuclear weapons and iskander missiles oh, of yours should understand that this is 1st and foremost lay aimed at a domestic audience. and even if we are talking about a new kind of cold war, there is a significant difference to the 99th eighty's, the russian elite to day politicians. a oligarchs even some still of a key, which means the representatives of the are and police. they have also too many personal contexts and condition connections in the western world for them to light heartedly start a real war with natal appearance if you're ever said oh, in the latvian capital, very good, thanks so much. all right, let's take a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines this hour in the school in give are they texas where a gunman killed 21 people last month is sick to be demolished as cities messes.

forgotten or forgiven? well, let's let me put it like this to saudi. a crown prince will probably receive a warm welcome in the turkish capital on cra, today there will be talks with president ad one and a dinner at the presidential palace. as you mentioned, this is a mom had been so man's 1st visit to turkey. since the brutal killing of saudi journalists, jamal i showed you here in istanbul, in 2018, which really shocked the world and dealt a heavy blow to relations between these 2 regional powers. what is happening now isn't happening, i think because the mode of mr. shock g has been forgotten and forgiven. it's a part of a major reset of relations. it's something that both countries need the saudi crown prince and he wants to broaden alliances here in the region. he also seeks an end to the scandal over mister hoshal, just killing,

which has seriously damaged his reputation internationally and president ad one is facing the worst economic crisis. you're in turkey in 20 years ahead of reelections next year. so he certainly has his expectations. so i don't think the murder has been forgotten, at least not in the turkish public, but this is a reproach. mind that is considered mutually beneficial by these 2 countries. you were on the story very shortly after mister hoshal g was murdered. starting from that moment to remind us about the incident that got us to this point and how it affected to if you saudi relations. well mister hoshal g was a journalist, a former inside a turn to critic a critical so all of them want it to have been some on he was killed at the saudi consulate here in istanbul, in october 2018 chopped into pieces by a group of saudi operatives his remains, the remains of his body have never been found. later,

u. s. intelligence assessments and international investigators came to the conclusion that wilmot been, simon, had ordered the operation to capture or kill mister ashanti. the crown prince until today denies any involvement or knowledge. interestingly, president add on himself back in the day, said that he believed the killing without mentioning the crown. prince's name had been ordered and i quote him here by the highest levels of the saudi government took. he even opened a trial and absentia against 26. saudi suspects suspected of for this killing, but then earlier this year, they essentially dropped the case and turn transferred it to saudi arabia and that paved the way for the reproach, month, political reproach, mind we're seeing now. and so here we are today. what does it a one want from the saudi crown prince was a house expectations walking in well, to put it very simply,

money, financial investment, okesha present. edwin is running for reelection next year. the turkish economy is in deep trouble. his popularity ratings have suffered. we officially have, according to official data, more than 70 percent inflation here. the turkish lira has plunged in value against dollar and euro. so there is a cost of living crisis here in turkey. and experts say that ad one is seeks the backing of the gulf arab countries, the turkish central bank needs to re supply its flooring reserves. and that is why turkey is now seeking to men, ties with countries in the region, not only with saudi arabia, by the way, but also with the countries like egypt, the united arab emirates, or israel leon in this temple. thank you so much. we're driven by the war in ukraine, food prices and the cost of living rising throughout the world. africa is being particularly hard hit in south africa, poverty and inequality were already high. and off to the pandemic searching costs,
