ah ah ah, this is the w use life from the land you plenty of missile strike russian held territory. ukraine's military says it hit a russian ammunition deposed in the castle region. claims thousands of civilians are injured in the strike. sri lanka, government calls will come and made the chaos with fuel prices hitting record highs

. the government ask citizens to stay at home while opposition leaders are unable to agree on who will replace the president. also coming up, japan has been saying that well to the countries longest serving prime minister, thousands of people have gathered in tokyo to pay respect fissions, a lobby up to plenty of guns down at a campaign route last week. plus nasa releases the post full color image from the largest and most powerful space telescope launched the revolutionary james web telescope is designed to prove that caused the dawn of the universe. ah, i've been visible and welcome to the show. as russian shelling intensifies in easton, ukraine caves forces have launched a counter offensive in the southern san region. keith said they had destroyed an

ammunition stair poke russian state use agency tass claims at least 7 people were killed and dozens injured in the attack in the russian hill. town of nova cockle block. i cough got elsewhere in ukraine south. the city of nikolai of was a target of rush and strikes, medical facilities and residential buildings were hit, at least a dozen people were injured. standing by 1st and keith is nick connelly. nick, what more can you tell us about this latest news? was certainly, it seems like the south of ukraine that has been a bit of a kind of side show to most of the action in the east is now coming into focus activity restrictive to really ramping up there. as you crane tries to push the russians out, and the russians respond as that attack on the work home care there. we definitely see the russians trying to accuse the ukrainians of inflicting civilian casualties

of not being able to hit military targets as you know, as intended for that subsea. a reaction to them really coming in for a lot of heat for those significant move civilian deaths. we've seen cross country recent days and they're really realizing that this is not doing them any good internationally. and now really an attempt to accuse care of doing the same thing or do they have any proof yet no images civilians available yet just some on identifiable ruins. asking mc alive, it's a big city that was already more than half empty. and you know, the calls from the authorities there to leave. have been in place for weeks now. and i think people who previously maybe thought that they could get by somehow and now deciding that it is time to go, even though it's a city that's held by ukraine, is just too close to the front lines and in constant threat of being attacked. and nick, what's happening on the northern border with bella ross, you've just come from there. what, what did you find? so it's an easy region. it's a part of the country that has not seen a lot of fighting for the last couple of months when the russian forces left the

region around kia. it's only about 100 kilometers where i am here, but they are very close to the fact that russian excise is russian, except with bowers and forces are ramping up and that, that risk is ever present. and but lots people, they're fearful that now russia might take this opportunity to open another front to try and distract ukrainian forces from the battlefields of the rest of the country. let's have a look at what they had to say. here when you cranes bored with bellows, you never really alone. movement. not through not sure that drones, one of ours don't actually. it is. but that's not a given. it was a russian drone attack from across the border. the started the war for these ukrainian border guards on february 24th. they tried to keep russian forces on the bellows side by blowing up the bridge. but the russians came all the same and

stayed for nearly a month. since the russians left in april. the shooting route here is lock you been restricted to exercises on both sides of the border. fear now, among many ukrainians is that russia's exercises and bellows could suddenly turn into real warfare just like they did in february. russian forces have never left belarus. instead, their so called exercises keep getting extended. ukrainian leaders long said their presence was just a distraction or a bluff rather than a real threat. but recently rushed troop numbers of the board have risen in the tone from below. russian leader, alexander lucas shenker, has grown ever more aggressive. ukraine's actions are also speaking a different language. these images from the bell, russian government, apparently show ukrainian forces mining their side of the border in recent days. much of the 1000 kilometer frontier between ukraine billers was barely marked, let alone defended before this war. by glen trips across the board of groceries to

see a doctor or part of everyday life in his life. all that you ca, ruiz, to go to bella, ruth law and they would come to us before you die. all just got on somehow little the. i didn't even think a war like this was even possible. i showed me a holler. who knows what snack center? good do might. the war has taken its toll on many family ties to span this border. ha, hostile does not. many people here in the village have relative unadilla russian side, religion. some of them have stopped talking to each other because of the war. i believe ukraine will when eventually it has to woo that we can't afford to learn so many locals here have given up their jobs to try to make sure that holds true. what you, what on it we have a security guard. we're g, a driver, shop assistance year, portable and locksmiths. ah, unless he is lazara constantine's life changed overnight. he was called up put in

charge of dozens of men. the territorial defense force. his experience, some brief military training university had never actually fought over me. she's fundamental to me in the the people and other places gotten, know what it feels like when in the line, bombs are falling when your child is terrified of everything on our way of. so if tropical, when most of us here have never even been in a filing until the war and again, little bit. yup. and then when it starts with, you know, or if the enemy comes along, if you do what you need to do on the will the d without thinking twice, initially would assume you, i'd say, yes, mr. here might seem relaxed, domestic neighbors, even father and son serving side by side. the real sense of threat is never far away. caughtington tells us he's never yet had to call a family with news of a fatality. he doesn't sound sure, it'll stay that way. nick, what is the likelihood of a new front opening in the north?

well, that's the middle a question. i think the, the most subordinate, remember all this is that no one thought that russia would use lot to kind of offensive on all fronts they did in the end of february, back then we went around these border regions of people were just kind of focused on their local problems and just dismissing all this as a bit of bluff as a bit of political theatre at. now i think you really noticed a change in tone in recent weeks when they've seen more and more russian tech, more and more russian equipment ending up in these border regions and frustration growing in moscow that they are just not making the kind of huge gains the kind of crushing blows to ukraine's military that they had expected to make that lots of western ellis had expected them to make. and that now this is increasingly attractive to moscow as an alternative, as a way of trying to spread ukraine more thinly forcing ukraine to defend that 1000 kilometer border boilers. and to draw force away from the numbers by russia is making it volts is. but no, any at the pace that they want to economy for us in cave. thank you very much for

putting the united states warns it has intelligence that iran is preparing to deliver armed drones to the russian military. us at it's unclear whether any drones had already been delivered, but that iran is set to train russian forces on their use. this month. the kremlin announced that president vladimir putin will visit around next week in america. were working, tries have been used by both sides since the beginning of the war in ukraine for our next report, the w's claimed by a visitor to factory in the lappy and capital riga that's been struggling to keep up with demand from ukrainian forces that have come to rely on recognizance drones in their fight against the russian invasion. a few weeks ago these ukrainian refugees did not know which way to turn a screwdriver. now they're building drones for the ukrainian army. atlas aerospace, the latvian company, they now work for san explosion and demand for military grade recognizance drones

with the onset of the war in ukraine. previously was like, i was happy to sell 10 drawn spell moss. and now you, if you're talking about extra $100.00 pay per month and stuff to figure, maybe it's not enough and we need to sell to think, how are we going to sell more? atlas builds drones that are small enough to be carried by one soldier. they are highly sought after by ukrainian special forces units equipped with these drones can cover large areas for recognizance and stream their video feeds back to base in real time in for read thermal imaging cameras turn night in today. atlas says tools like this help safe soldiers lives and the ukrainians are buying so far more than 100. drones have already been delivered. the batter club has become a bit more transparent, maybe, and you have soldiers that are just more independent can act independently because

they already have all the daytime to what's happening over the next cell are behind that wall assistance on ukraine's battlefields. consumer drones from china have had a starring role and propaganda video circulating on social media at the glass and soldiers have been modifying these drones to drop bombs. i often to devastating effect. yeah, with the yellow you won't be stuck in there. but experts say using chinese may drones, is potentially dangerous. this video allegedly shows an artillery strike honing in on a ukrainian drone operator. it's been claim that d j i. the chinese firm producing these drones is passing on gio tracking information to the russian military. something the company denies. back in latvia, atlas aerospace is hiring more ukrainians to increase production. they are keen to

help little bit of land with when making trends for the ukranian army. with the help of the strains we shall win, the war. war is a money maker for some, all of these green bags will be going to ukraine, and they won't be the last. on average, these drones only last for 48 hours in combat. and so the flow of equipment will continue a quick look now at some other stories making use around the world. let be as president wants to boost defense spending and make military service compulsory for 18 to 27 year olds. as soon as next year, the proposals will have to be renewed by parliament before taking effect. the nato member states has already committed to raising its defense budget in response to the russian invasion of ukraine. panama has announced measures to counter rising

fuel and food costs. following nationwide protests president lauren, tino cortez o to gas prices will be reduced. and staple food prices frozen imma get will be our firefighters in spain of battling bars. fires spots by an extreme heat wave and drought residents evacuated their homes in the southwest region of extreme adora. they bring portable is also finding a number of places while firing. california is spreading rapidly and threatening. some of the state's largest natural treasures. yosemite national park is home to hundreds of giant sequoia trees some believe to be over 2000 years old. the by residents have been evacuated to sri lanka now where the political crisis is hitting citizens at the pump hod, with record high prices. in an effort to can so fuel, the government is asking people to work from home and has closed schools, restaurants to switch to cooking meals with would we take a closer look now at how the crisis is affecting the lives of citizens in the

countries capital? colombo for 7 days as our mo heading has been waiting here in a kilometer long line for gas in sri lanka, capital colombo, he turned a new fuel delivery was coming, he spent day and night here since then the gas in there is simply no more fueling we have no more gas at home to cook. we used to have an income, but for weeks now the money has stopped coming to one and we love, we can't go on like this. life is hard. i similar to make matters worse. his wife is ill. he tries to spend a little time with her every day at lunchtime, risking losing his place in line the early and then i keep calling him when he's there waiting. it's the tormenting thoughts that have made me think. i was even met at a hospital. we didn't even have fuel for him to drive me there. and according to it,

many people in sri lanka face similar problems. inflation is soaring and prices a skyrocketing even for essentials like food. hardly any one can afford to buy what they need. oh really isn't the name of the people years to have 3 meals a day. most of the time. now it's either 2 or one. sometimes people are drinking water instead of eating only. no. more than that. we don't know what to do. what to give our children. they say they're hungry, but we don't have anything for them. we don't wanna let vieira molina, but we can't drink tea with milk anymore. we have no milk powder. we just about managed to buy rice, but even that is very expensive. another day has gone by in the line for gas and for as armoire dean, it's again been fruitless. his one hope that after the resignation of president go to buy a roger packer, better times will finally come. you go to the only when we get problems like the

fuel crisis solved, can we live a life worth living? i haven't lost faith yet that a new government will give us fresh hope and change will finally happen again, but we won't be align dental until then as i'm will. heading will spend another night in line, hoping that he will finally get a few leeches of fuel to japan. now where the funeral of former prime minister shinto abi, has taken place in the capital, tokyo thousands of mourners gathered outside the temple where a private service was held following the ceremony of his body trembled through the city passing landmarks including the parliament building 67 year old was assassinated friday while making a speech in the city of nora to stays before national election. journalists on jablonka told us about our base legacy. i mean, for many people, especially the younger ones, he was all they knew he was the only prime minister they had seen in

a long time. so he had a surprisingly big following among the younger people, i say surprising because his policies were very conservative. so he's been also a rather to visit figure, and i think a lot of the more controversial things didn't actually get reported much outside of japan. so the image that people have outside of japan and inside of japan can be quite different. there were a lot of demonstrations and yeah, he's achieved song things, but others. yeah. he didn't really get that far. and as i said, there are a lot of things that that now aren't being mentioned because of obviously that the grief but shouldn't be forgotten. and should be looked into jealous. anya laska reporting from tokyo. the white house has reveal the 1st full color image taken by the james web space telescope. nasa says the photo is the deepest look into the universe ever. it was taken

a 1000000 miles from earth. the image shows the earliest stars and galaxies observed. the telescope is a joint project between the u. s. canadian and european space programs. it's expected to operate for up to 20 years. oh, it's the most powerful telescope ever to be built. ready the james web space telescope developed by space agencies in europe, the us and canada, is intended to explore the oldest galaxies and the universe. the new telescope is about $100.00 times more sensitive than its 30 year old predecessor, the hubble space telescope. thanks to a 25 square meter mirror and inference senses, it can detect galaxies, stars, and planets that a hidden in the visible spectrum by dust and gas. ready the telescope was under development for more than 30 years and cost about $8800000000.00 euros.

ready thousands of engineers and hundreds of scientists worked on its construction . more than 300 universities, organizations and companies from 14 countries were involved in december, the telescope was finally launched aboard an adiana rocket. one month later, it had reached its outpost 1500000 kilometers away. scientists hope its images will provide insights into the early period after the big bang, 13800000000 years ago. it would also examine the earth's immediate surroundings and our solar system, as well as look for habitable planets with water resources. will not cochran is a senior advisor at the european space agency. so this telescope can see back in

time, basically. how does that work? well, the speed of light is finite, it read the light, moves it to 300000 kilometers per 2nd. so for example, it takes light to reach us from the moon, one of the cause a seconds. that means we're seeing the moon as it was one. and a quarter seconds ago in the past, the sun, 8 minutes ago, for example. but when we look further and further away, we're looking deeper and deeper into the past. so we can look, for example, at galaxies, which might be a 1000000 years in the past by the time that lights reached us. but j. w. s t is designed to look for the very 1st galaxies that formed in our universe just after the big bang, 13800000000 years ago. and that light has been traveling to us for almost at that time. and it's about to be caught by james webb, and we'll get an insight into how those galaxies were when they were very young. of course, they changed in the meantime, those galaxies, that those great distances are now probably like our milky way that we're able to

use james web as a kind of a time machine to look back at greater and greater distances. and therefore, to earlier times in the universe and what is that that makes the telescope so special? well, it's very different to hubble in the sense that instead of being a relatively small mirror and in a tube, which is what he made, conventional telescopes used to be built. this is a huge mirror. that in fact, is 18 pieces of beryllium covered in gold, which had to unfold in space. and it's also incredibly cold. it's 233 degrees celsius below freezing point. and that means the telescope itself is so cold. it doesn't glow in the infrared, it doesn't give heat out itself. and that means we're able to make much more sensitive pictures of the universe in those wavelengths in heat radiation, if you like in the infrared, and these distant galaxies, and not only very far from us and faint. that's why his big telescope. but because of the stretching the expansion of the universe,

all of their light has been stretched out from visible wavelengths into the in for red. and so that's why we need this radical new kind of telescope 1000000 half kilometers away from the behind. a giant sun shield which lets it gets super cold. and what do you think this radically new telescope is going to deliver us next? well, what you've seen last night is that 1st image from a president biden, and that showed us a 1st look at the early universe. this is just 12 and a half hours of observing. typically we're going to spend weeks and months taking incredibly deep pictures. but these are just the very 1st examples, but today we're going to be releasing new image a, as in a joint event with natural canadian space agency, showing pictures in a very local universe. so we're going to be showing something to do with an x, a planet planet orbiting in the star. we're going to be looking at places where stars are being born in our own milky way and galaxies half way between us and the big bang. so it's a general purpose observatory and it's really going to be able to dig very deep

into the universe in ways that couple never could never could manage. mostly it's bigger, so it's more sensitive and it's an infrared telescope. and that's critical from seeing objects like he's high rich of galaxies. but mock briefly, could it also change our lives here on earth? i think so. i don't know. you know, this is the question often asked, you know, what does it do specifically for me? and of course we have to remember that our space agencies also do things very specific for the of the folks of ation. telecommunications, i think, was special about the hubble space telescope and web we'll have that as well. is the sense of or, and inspiration about is very big universe. we live in and i and i, you know, hopefully that will inspire kids to come along and come and use this telescope. it'll operate for 20 years. so there's a chance that they'll be able to use it. you know, kids who are in school today will be able to come and use it, but also, i think, you know, it gives us a bit of cosmic perspective that perhaps some of the troubles which we look for here on. when you think about the big picture, maybe we should just be a little bit kinder and nicer to each other and live in the world and get to where

we, you know, we're not here for long. know exactly some cosmic advice there from my cochran senior advice of science and exploration at the european space agency. thank you. my pleasure. and in sport, he is arguably the most famous active for polar in the world. but exactly where christiano rinaldo will be playing next season, has been up in the air. there were reports the portuguese superstar wanted to leave manchester united. but the clubs, new coach insists rinaldo is not for sale. manchester, united or in thailand for their 1st preseason friendly against outs, rivals, liverpool fans in bangkok want to see one man in particular, but christiano, rinaldo isn't there. media report said the 37 year old has demanded to leave. united missed out on the champions league with a 6th place finish in england. last term. speculation is rife,

a superstar once one last crack at europe's elite competition. it's news to new coach, eric 10 hog. hasn't all this? so i've read. but what i say chris young was not for so christiane. always an old bench and you want to get successful? good. but if that is the case, then where exactly is ronaldo? he's training back in portugal rather than lapping up the limelight in thailand. he's not with his anger is due to personal issues. no, we are planning which is shannon although for decision. so that's it. and i'm looking forward to, to work with united have already seen a host of plays leave, including poll poker, who's just resigned for you. vent us losing rinaldo and his mark ability around the

world would be a hammer blow united, adamant they won't let that happen. olympic as well champion, mo farrah has confessed he was the victim of child trafficking at the age of 9. in a recent interview, the 39 year old said he was forced to do housework and child care in exchange for food. when he 1st arrived in britain, prior to leaving somalia, his name had been changed using fate. documents that he was kept out of school until the age of 12 ferret myths that were really saved him, was that he could run. reminder of our top story for ukrainian missiles have struck russian held territory in countries. the castle region. your french military says it, russian, ammunition deposed. russia claims several people been killed and dozens of people who are injured in a strike. and the funeral of former japanese prime minister chalabi

has taken place in the capital tokyo. thousands of mon has gathered outside the temple where a private service was held. following the ceremony, abe's funeral procession drove from the city. watching t w life from birth enough next album, las vegas show kick off. with pop, one of the season review. maybe get more used on our way plenty w dot com. i'm been pursuing old beat back next out with with with

ah, with a pulse with the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride.

it's all about to perspective culture information. this is the that we're you news and more d, w. made for mines. oh, they fled because they reject cutie oh and his war russians in georgia. ah, more than $40000.00 russia is found refuge in neighboring georgia since the war began . they are trying to build a new life here, even though they are not welcome. you're free, including a close up in 60 minutes on d w. a

let is he she when i arrived here i slept with a sick of people in a room as a nightmare. it was harsh. fair. i even got white hair is learning the gym and language head. yeah. i love this kid to me and create them. but to nikki, to interact with say, you want to know their story info, my grants verifying, and reliable information for my grants. a dark, cloudless night is perfect for star gazing and for admiring the moon, a celestial body with a mysterious romantic appeal. and without it, life on earth wouldn't exist. but 1st we take a look at mercury. the baby colombo mission is now heading its way and sent some snow.
