including a 12 year old boy. many residents were in bed when the missile struck early friday morning. residents, zalinski used is not the address to denounce this latest in the series of russian attacks on civilians. errors 3 are giving position 3 missiles on an ordinary residential building on a 9 story block in which nobody was hiding any weapons, any military equipment or any ammunition that russian propagandists would claim such strikes are aimed at. it was a simple building, housing, a $160.00 people, ordinary people, civilians, to be. the strike also destroyed a recreation camp. a typical camp you'd find in a seaside area. yes, is conscious it deliberately targeted russian terror there or, and not some mistake or an accidental missile strike american they doubly correspond at nick connelly is in the ukranian capital key ethnic russian miss also

struck civilian or infrastructure in several different cities. a long way from the front line in the past few days here where you are criminal took odessa. russia says they're not deliberately targeting civilians. so are they just missing their intended targets or do you see a different pattern here? of the, the ukrainian side is convinced that this is tara, this is an attempt to basically crit panic amongst the civilian population to put pressure on ukraine's government through or basically public opinion in ukraine to erodes the willingness of the grant population to carry on this war and to make life as difficult and as dangerous as possible to then get ukrainians put pressure on their democratically elected government to make concessions to russia. to end this, russia has, in all the cases, claimed that there were military targets and lots of time that wasn't very convincing. lots of different variants, lots of different explanations coming out of moscow about them supposedly attacking

western military supplies and then fires or other mishaps happening, but then spreads to cause those civilian losses. i think it's also important to realize now that russia is running out of high tech and missiles of himself being used are, were produced. 60 seventy's, they are notorious for being a imprecise for having a routine habits of kind of hitting targets up to a kilometer off the intended target. so i think the actual intention here, what russia, what still less important in the reality that dozens of civilians are losing their lives on a regular basis day by day here in ukraine. and that is definitely something that is a new quality to this war. people now car hundreds clumped is away from the front lines . are a lot more aware of those air raid sirens and a lot more nervous when they hear the men are increasingly thinking whether they need to get back into their sellers and hide and give up, you know, trying to live some kind of normal life. something they've been trying to do in the last few weeks after months to walk. so then the other side of this with more advanced western weapons reaching ukrainian violence. does this now mean they're

going to be in a better position to protect civilians from these kind of attacks? i mean, anti missile systems have so far been ukraine's can achilles heel. so ukraine has done surprisingly well better than any one, especially in the west or in terms of neutralizing a threat from russian plains and ukraine's anti aircraft systems have held up surprisingly well. russia wasn't able to destroy them the 1st 2 days the war. and that's why we've basically seen very few russian planes make their way anywhere near ukrainian, big, near big centers, big cities. so we're sending missiles from launch from over russian territory. and of si that is going to be less precise, but knocking down those missiles, getting rid of those has been a challenge. now we've heard from the americans, they're sending anti massage systems that are expected to arrive in the next couple of weeks. germany has promised some which going to come later to that could make a real difference. i think snake island where ukraine was able to use a whole host of new western systems that really has shown that they are able to

make that qualitative difference to really send russia into the defensive. for now though supplies are two's scarce, they're just not on a scale to really make a difference on the front lines in dumbass. but ukraine really here is playing for time in the hope that as these weeks and months go on, the western countries really get their act together and realize quite the scale of the need of what you gray needs. and they will be able to push russia back for now, they're playing for time, allowing the russians to make small tactical gains rather than strategic gains. and hoping that those western supplies get here one in one piece and that russia isn't able to destroy them while they get here. the w correspondent, nick connelly in gifts. thank you. all ukraine has asked her, he did the tain, a russian flag ship that he had says is carrying stolen, ukrainian grain, the target ship civic. sali is currently anchored off the turkish black sea port of cut a soup. a crime says it sailed from the county and port of betty dance, which is currently under russian control. give is accused brush of stealing grain

from ukrainian territories occupied by russian forces. turkey says it's investigating the matter many ukrainian teenagers had fled to germany. they currently attending special classes to help them get used to live here. but after the holiday, some want to start in normal classes with german children, even though many are still studying their normal ukrainian syllabus online and outside of school, acting as unofficial translators for they parents. oh, music class is also an opportunity to relax a little these children from ukraine fled the country when war broke out, some of them with their families, some alone. they've been attending this berlin school for 4 months now. and they're beginning to get the hang of the german language. oh,

i ask that he can sell things. i'm student, i'm luckily most of them can already speak some english. often they have to translate family members, the government offices, or it and look for accommodation, all at the age of 14, where the families have a big problem to find a flat. it was so hard for me, for from one letter to the other. and we can't find one where we can stay a long time and there is a problem with a sledge and also the money that like no one is working because my mother doesn't know the language yet. and of course she is learning, but how she can like pay for our living and others stuff like this. and the 1st a huge plus is the teacher a barely wester. life has

a social worker on hand to help. she's fully aware that the pressure on these teens is immense. the stresses they face in their private lives means how many find it hard to concentrate in class. it is really definitely tough going. it's not easy for them. it wouldn't be a lie to say that their transition into the mainstream school system will be easy. it won't, but it's manageable, and we're here to support them. we're going to start with us and you don't get in touch with him. will they stay in germany long term? the students are caught between 2 worlds. mornings german school in the afternoons . most of them have online classes with the ukrainian teachers. it's a busy schedule, and they don't have much spare time to get to know germany better. because i knew i went into going through the many of the students taking online classes as well. um . so let, unfortunately, neither system works very well. i'm pissing on the, with

a little in german, a little in ukrainian. they just can't learn that quickly. oh, we're titian alone and oh, the spice to join. the teachers here want to help the students come away with the high school qualification. even if they leave germany in the future, at least i can have something to take with them. now for years, germany has struggled to reconcile it's colonial history in africa. one aspect of that is stolen cultural artifacts, such as the benign bronzes on displayed several german museums. now though, the path has been cleared for they returned to nigeria with the foreign men and culture ministers from both countries signing an agreement. the deal formerly recognizes the paces as the property of nigeria. at the center of the colonialism debate in germany, the penning bounces, in 1897 british forces looted thousands of the art treasures from the royal palace

in been mutton de nigeria. many ended up in german museums. more than 400. i enter lynch, humbled forum. a long battle over the looted art is now ending both germany and nigeria had to care nigeria, the rightful owner of the place and sculptures. we acknowledge the horrific outrages committed under colonial rule. we acknowledge the murderers and plundering. we acknowledge the racism and slavery. we acknowledge the injustice and trauma that have left cars. the dust still was able to day. the breakthrough means the objects can return to their homeland. it's also a radical change in perspective for germany's museums thus benoit.

it is i what does change of ownership means? bowdoin, it, it means that we western museums in the northern hemisphere and cannot simply determine the narrative of these benign bronzes any longer. redeem it being on a blonde samir a ting, couldn't nigeria? we'll decide which artworks will return. the government wants to build a new museum. to house the branches, partly financed by germany. so us missouri professionals. it is important for us to discuss on issues and areas of collaboration. so that would be able to benefit from this, you know, of toddler, patricia museums across europe are starting to opt for collaboration after years of confrontation. but the british museum has refused to give back. it's $900.00 bruncess. the issue has also become
