times get that there are many wounded in killed. would you hold on where it missed together? but with russia now in a better place to keep pushing forward with its assault on the don bass, the slow v and there are likely to be even darker days ahead. ukrainian officials and international leaders are meeting for a 2 day conference in switzerland today to come up with a plan to fund reconstruction after rushes, devastating war. let's have a closer look at the scale of the damage so far more than a 100 hospitals have been destroyed. alone, damage to civilian infrastructure is running above and estimated 4000000000 euros every week. thousands of kilometers of roads have been wrecked. hundreds of bridges blown up. ukrainian officials have put the total economic losses from the war at over $500000000000.00 euros. while the country is hoping for international

assistance, many residents are taking matters into their own hands. we building their homes despite a lack of skilled workers and supplies. signs of death and destruction everywhere, but also signs of life and rebuilding. this is the village of ja hid, ne, in northern ukraine. after the occupiers left, the people got to work. people here are grieving, but while our soldiers in the east are protecting us, we are working here. in many places, the task is monumental. in the city of hockey eve, after months of russian shelling this team of foreign volunteers and local architects, created 3 d models of the hundreds of monuments that have been damaged or destroyed . documenting what was there for future rebuilding on? no one thinks that will happen fast, your do more still. i think it won't just take a year more likely 2 years from the destruction is everywhere. but you should also

consider that some of these buildings are architectural monuments. it's not just basic repair work because he does need you, but who will pay for it when the fighting is finally over the ukrainian economy? it's in ruin at the last donor conference, the new pledge, just under 10000000000 euros to help, but that the fraction of the estimated hundreds of billions needed to rebuild the ukraine. critical infrastructure, housing, vital services, and help the economy to get up and running. there have been calls for a modern marshall plan, the u. s. project that helped rebuild europe after world war 2. but so far, not much commitment. there are also been calls to use frozen russian assets, including yachts, to pay for reconstruction. but nothing's been agreed yet. meanwhile, cities like merrier poll, have been largely flattened under still under russian control,

the russian installed government there has announced that the port city and former steel making power house will be rebuilt as a resort in the capital keys, which has been relatively safe for months. people know that time is not on their side and they can't wait for official help. residents are fixing this high rise as fast as they can. fearful of being left homeless next winter. but you can't say they lack a sense of humour. you believe me, when you left me both one neighbor asks another, what are you going to do? work on the facade of the house. it might get hit by a minute. and it also might not building back and knowing that it all might be undone again in an instant even far from the front lines as the war grinds on in the east. i'll today's don't. a conference in logan of switzerland brings together governments and organizations to come up with

a plan for ukraine's recovery. i'm not joined by tatiana, that are you going up? she is with a member of the global collective of the economists for ukraine to tana. what do you hope to see to come out of today's meeting there? lagrano. i hope that what comes out of it will be a clear in unanimous message of commitment to help you brain rebuild after the war and not just statements of public support. but i'm hoping there will be clear financial commitments made by their 20 attendees. and of course, a general framework for how the rebuilding process will be handled while fighting, as we know is still going on the was far from coming to an end. is it? is it too early to speak about reconstruction? no, i don't think it's too early. i think reconstruction will be an incredibly complicated and challenging task and the earlier planning start, the more smooth it can be. if everything can be ready for when the war and that

would be ideal, because you know, people who don't have housing right now, the longer we make them wait, the more they will suffer. i also think that a strong commitment to help you brain rebuild can be a signal to russia that europe is not indifferent to ukraine's faith and in conjunction with military aid can act as a public deterrent. so i think it's great that we're talking about it. now investment is also very finicky. we know that uncertainty is very bad for investments. so by talking about rebuilding now we can send a clear signal to businesses and other organizations that are thinking about investing in ukraine, that governments will be there to help so that we can reduce the amount of uncertainty that's facing the country right now. and i think that will be best for

us on the prosperity now before the war was widespread. concern about corruption in ukraine. what role does reform to crane institutions play for this reconstruction effort? i think it plays a very central role and we've already heard discussions about this in the lovano conference today. we know that corruption is extremely harmful to countries economic well being, even during peacetime. and it can be extremely damaging during the rebuilding process. and if it's allowed to happen, you know, ukraine's going to need every euro and dollar that it gets. and you have any of that be lost to corruption, would be a terrible tragedy. as part of the economists for your brain initiative, we are working on rebuilding volume. and in fact, we do have

a chapter devoted to institutional rebuilding one devoted to judicial rebuilding because we don't think that ukraine just needs to rebuild physical infrastructure. we think, you know, institutional rebuilding is very important as well both to ensure that the physical rebuilding process goes smoothly, but also to set conditions for ukraine to be economically prosperous in the, in the longer run. so absolutely, you know, commitments by ukraine to are rude out, corruption are essential and to implement meaningful reforms to do that. oversight by donor countries is also essential to make sure that everything is going according to plan. but i hope this can be an opportunity for ukraine to, you know, route out corruption to the maximum extent possible,

because that will absolutely affect the success of the rebuilding process. so jenna video enough from economists for ukraine. thank you very much for your time. thank you. spoken to turkey now, which is touting a diplomatic success in negotiating with finland and sweden over than nato membership, which turkey was blocking the country's pro government media says the nordic countries agreed to back off supporting kurdish malicious in northern syria, which turkey considers a threat. the areas of our friend co, bonnie, our kwame sleep, our kurdish enclaves which should become visible right now and there they are. in northern syria, they're dominated by the people's protection units or y p g militia. turkey says the y p g controlled areas are a threat to its security and that one's a buffer zone with no kurdish elements along its border. ankara has attack kurdish

forces in recent years to push them out. now, the city of mon beach has seen its population explode with refugees from the conflict. people there are now squeezed between pro turkish malicious and the threat of a return of the so called islamic state. almost everything is already gone. hadn't ann marie used to store hundreds of canisters of oil in this garage, but the 50 year old trader has moved most of his product to a safe place, just like he did in 2014. back then he fled militants from the so called islamic state. now he's flying pro turkish troops. after i share of his hitting the people here, hard as not as many heavily more him, most of the traders have moved for goods because we're afraid of all of our min at heart of man beach is a city in a state of emergency. it's considered a commercial hub in northern syria. the population keeps growing. every 2nd,

a refugee arrived from other parts of syria. since the end of i s rule, the current have taken control. there were years of stability and relative charity . all of that is now at risk we've fallen into a kind of depression because of the threat of war at ali. when, if deb, i can mark on the other side of the front line pro turkish malicious are on the march for months now the syrian fighters have been training with heavy weapons and tanks. they're considered islamist. they're trained and equipped by turkey. and they follow orders from president rich of type air to what he considers cards to be terrorists and wants to drive them from turkeys border. what settling syrian refugees from turkey there instead of the lord of any the fish i everything points to a confrontation market. it will come soon because hopefully we'll get the order to deploy from turkey shortly about janet 30. curtis units are also bracing for war.

parts of northern syria are already under air to wants control on troops here for fear he wants to crush kurdish autonomy altogether. i did okay, man, i bought according to the kurdish autonomous administration that would play into the hands of the so called islamic state. i as fighters have been terrorizing the population since the kurds defeated them. let them in the back and i had that like we're watching the i is it herself solo, but out, why are she has to protect our people? how to defend our homeland with the fight against i and then becomes a secondary matter. but the terrorist militia stands to benefit the most from the situation. now there's the threat of new chaos and new suffering in northern syria . after years of relative calm adina, marino fears for all the traitors here have helped to build somebody is that if mon beach fools, the whole economy in the body area will collapse over what we've put in would be

lost. the people of man bees feel the world has forgotten them, and against turkish military superiority the current here hardly stand a chance. so us behind turkeys syria incursion, threats as that some background with kristen, how back she's of milly's, the analyst. kristen. what's the latest situation on the ground between turkeys armed forces at kurdish fighters? will we have seen turkish attacks of all these months is usually by drones or by the mercenary proxies that we have just seen. the turkish military has intervened in syria 3 times before taking control of several strips of the land along the border with the aim of put the border area all together under permanent turkish control, with the head of syrian stakeholders and these and mercenaries. now president out on wants to connect these different areas to a so called security zone to weaken kurdish autonomy. they are the sort of a thomas project and to reset up to $1000000.00 syrian refugees, which is

a form of ethnic cleansing because it will be mainly coach population that will be displaced and arab students that will be settled. so that's the prospect for now. and so why and why is this happening now? add on faces growing pressure at home. he has an economic crisis, high inflation rate, price increases. and this crisis being blamed on the student refugees. turkey has taken in 3700000 syrians as refugees. now they save a little bit as the scape goals for these crisis, so he has to react to that. this is why he's promising to send refugees back white at the same time time being confronted with this growing social tensions, he needs a threat from outside. so he frames this kurdish dominated project and ne, syria as an existential threat to turkey, to create national feelings tonight, people behind him because he wants to win the parliamentary and presidential elections next year in 2023. so it's main,

mainly internal problems that he's facing, that is driving them to driving him to this attack and to this operation. now, how does this military operations by turkey fit into the bigger picture of instability across the region? will basically add one feeds very much in power. what by his role with the nature. so he is definitely the main beneficiary of the need to revival. we're just witnessing he his conditions have all been met. you know, sweden and finland has not only classified p k as terrorist organizations, but also the y p g, the people's protection units that are our allies in the fight against isis. so he has, he's waiting for arms and bo was to be lifted. he's waiting for the f. 16 fighter jet from the u. s. he really has the upper hand in this need to dynamics. and this is letting you basically because for years, europe as well, needed him as a bouncer to keep refugees out of europe. but we have really reached a stage,

i would say that you could call a black black meeting. you know, we are really in the hands of president outline, which is a dangerous development because he feels he can go ahead with another military intervention in that region that would, that will cause mass displacement occupation for the injustice and social unrest in northern syria region that has already been hit by indicate of war and terror and hardship. thank you very much, middle east analyst, kristen hubbard. thank you. turner, to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. china has placed 1700000 people under locked down in the central and we province after 300 cove at 19 cases were reported leaving streets deserted and empty. the 0 covert policy, which imposes strict isolation measures in an effort to fully eradicate the virus, means people can only leave their homes to get tested parts of

a glacier, half collapse than the italian alps causing an avalanche that killed 6 people and injured more rescue as are still searching war survivors on the snow and ice, the collapse on italy's marmalade a mountain came at day off. the temperatures reached record high at the glacier summit and the danish capital. copenhagen, a man opened fire with a rifle in the busy shopping mall, killing 3 people including teenagers. several more people remained critically injured for he say a 22 year old danish man with a history of mental illness has confessed to carrying out the shooting. they say it was not a terror attack. a frantic dash to safety. what started as a sunday shopping outing for many turned into a nightmare after a gunman opened fire in the busy field. small in the danish capital,

a lapreski 2nd and by her school, suddenly we heard shots and i think i had 10 shots. and then we ran through the mall. oh and ended up in a toilet of all the way around. 11 of us huddled together literally in this tiny space. i don't like it. it was really hot, wind being about and we waited and we were so scared to like the button. it was a terrible experience on act, snarky of yours by several people were killed, injured during the attack. which spots a panic stampede as people rush to get out of harm's way? a 22 year old suspect has been charged in connection with the killings. his motive is unclear, was the law of your eyes and seek. there is nothing in our investigation. all the

documents we have reviewed all the things we have found. if the following or the witness statements we have gotten that can substantiate that this is an act of terrorism. one of you get that sale on jam families of the survivors embraced their loved ones with palpable relief. now the search for answers to this tragedy will begin to australian our days of torrential rain, of course, flooding in the state of new south wales. more than $30000.00 residents around sidney have been ordered to evacuate their homes. is just the latest in a series of flooding emergencies to hit these coast this year. stress emergency minister said the frequent disasters showed climate change must be taken seriously . roach turned to rivers. cars drifting my capsized boat as flood swallowed their homes yet again. many here wandering. is

this the new normal way ivory was however, 14 is in 3 months is a bit bit much for all of us. a lot of us are typing as a lot of people in the area that i, elderly with illnesses and stuff like that. only yet basically, we're stuck with stranded the day lucia's caught me off guard, leaving some trapped in their homes. are cars. this woman narrowly avoided being swept away by the torrent rescue worker sign of rates against time as to sidney area, his over to receive 4 times the amount of rain. it usually does during the entire month of july with the national emergency services warning of the worst flood in 18 months. authorities afforded more than 30000 people to evacuate. they warn that the nightmare is far from over. we have another at least 24 hours to go

before we hear that the rains my subside, but the grant is saturated. the river is a fast flowing, the dams are overflowing. so it's particularly dangerous at a, particularly the hopes when a pan australia's feeling the backlash of climate change with drought, bush fires, damage to the great barrier reef, and now floods becoming not only more common, but also more intense. and for many communities, this is the 4th flood that they have seen is in less than 18 months. and some of those images are truly heartbreaking. as saying, are paypals at himes are their lives turned upside down again and they livelihoods very much impacted in more to alone. fords, killed more than 20 people. a toll all put shore to sore as was trillion phases ever more extreme weather for on this,

we're now joined by laura chunks is an environment journalist at the sydney morning herald, and john's as forms in the 3rd major thoughts just this year. how are people back open so if he's, as you've heard, people are really struggling. i mean, a lot of people have bally even recovered from the 1st few events and now they've been hit by these flooding event. i'm a couple of people i've spoken to today have just that they don't know how they're going to do it. you know, a few of them have said they might just pack up and leave and move to somewhere else and completely away from the flood signs. so you're really sensing that people are tie it, they're exhausted and they just don't know how to go on. so how much of a role does climate change really have to play here? what's really important to remember is that we've just had a linear weather system coming over the summer, which means that we've had above f bridge rainfalls, which is why we've seen a lot of rain over the summer now. and we've just coming in to our storm season. as well as becoming to those autumn winter months, which means that we're seeing

a lot more of a storms. so the important thing to remember is that this is quite common to sort of say for this time of the year, you've got a lot of other climate drive is which exacerbating miss. and so what we know is, is climate change worse in these types of storms and these types of where the systems are only going to become more intense and more frequent. so does this me, that communities there will have to adopt more frequent francois, good news? so the main effect is at the moment is just on recovering, getting through the next 24 to 48 hours and making sure that everyone is safe. but you know, that raises an important question about what life looks like in these flood signs. for lot of these residents, they really used to living with, with floods. but as you've heard, people are tired and they don't know how to go on. so that will raise a question on what's with infrastructure. looks like how we respond to these types of events. and how we communicate with these types of communities about what is happening and, and how to get out foster and those types of actuation messages. environmental
