town of nova couple duck elsewhere in ukraine. south, the city of the goliath was the target of russian strikes, medical facilities and residential buildings were hit, at least a dozen people for engine dw corresponded economy. he is in key if he updated us on this developing shift in the direction of the war 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, mood checked of to really ramping up there as ukraine tries to push the russians out. and the russians respond as to 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 moving 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 me of doing the same thing that they have brought any proof yet no images or civilians available yet, just some identifiable ruins asked 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 previous 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, it is just to close the front lines and in constant threat of being attacked. and nick, what's happening on the know the border with ballard. bruce, you've just come from there. what, what did you find? so it's an issue 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 a 100 kilometers where i am here, but they are very conscious. the fact that russian exercises russian excels with barrison forces are ramping up and that, that risk is ever present. and but lots of people,

they're fearful that now russia might take this opportunity to open another front to try and distract ukrainian forces from 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. were 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, russian troop numbers of the board have risen in the tone from bell russian leader alexander lucas shanker, 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 and belarus 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 with even possible. i assure me, holler,

who knows what slack central get to my the war has taken its toll on many family ties the span this border. ha ha, there's not many people here in the village have relatives, 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 that we can't afford to lose many locals. here we've given up their jobs to try to make sure that holds true. what you for on it. we have a security guard. we're ye, a driver. shop assistant year, portable and locksmiths. ah, unless he is lazara constantine's life changed overnight when 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 saw,

you've shown up the club when most of us here have never even been in a filing until the war little didn't happen. 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 darkening in the north? well, that's the $1000000.00 question. i think the, the most important to remember in all this is that no one thought that russia would launch the 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. 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 the 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 alice 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 draw. forced 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. the reporting the united states as it has intelligence that iran is preparing to deliver armed drones to the russian military. the u. s. as it's unclear whether any drones have already been delivered, but that iran said to train russian forces on they use this month in the comments

announced that president vladimir putin will visit around next week in american his were working crimes have been used by both sides since the beginning of the warn you crash frown next report d. w. kill him by a visitor at a factory in the lap and capital riga, that struggling to keep up with demand. ukrainian forces 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 saw an explosion in demand for military grade recognizance drones with the onset of the war in ukraine previously was like i was happy to sell 10 john spell monson. now you, if you're talking about the extra $150.00 a month and have stuff to figure, maybe 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 could 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 save 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 shell are behind bad 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 heard often to devastating effect. yeah. yeah, but 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 claimed 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 them on the line with when they can drains for the ukrainian army. with the help of destroying, we shall win the war. honda 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 to monica cordova is from the set of 4 security studies in zurich. how are surveillance and aren't drones shaping this conflict? oh, good afternoon. thank you for inviting you. well, i would like to highlight it. first of all, it's fair to say that this is like 1st large in war, where we can see the extensive use of drums in terms of both numbers. and there are city of roles and, and functions. and so when it comes to surveillance, that's the crucial role on because as it was mentioned in the previous play, drums can provide real time imagery. so that basic role of providing situational awareness of what's going on on the ground. so that means in terms of

deploying the smaller commercial platforms that are operated by a single soldier, that is said to, to see what's going on. beyond that, you know, but also in terms of monitoring and tracking the movement of troops in real time and sending the information back out to come on post. but also recording videos of successful strikes and, and she's and posting, posting them on social media, which has also this is like a logical effect. so this is a, basically the, the original wrong. her old jones that we can see also training on the united states is around a set to deliver armed drivers to the russians. what impact could that have on the battlefield? won't really tell the good news for you koreans, but as it was so mentioned. so 1st of all,

russian shows will need to learn how to operate them. and my reading of this is that the russians are basically under invested into a combat just because we haven't seen that much news about deploying their own or young from the drum on. so i believe we can expect a system similar to what iran has been shipping to the rebels indiana that we're used to attack the batteries on some other. well, i think on that we can also read it in the international context at the moment prison by then, and this is in reference of the review. so that it can, they are also part of signaling from, from you don't need to what about chinese drones in this for china being a leading manufacturer or not, the leading manufacturer will what rather yes, the d g i plus one. so you're right, that is a leading manufacturer of the so small commercial article officially,

the judge said that step to say all of these jones to go the ukraine and russia, that we can see the extensive use of this, the drums. and what is the particular issue to avoid connecting this is just the cloud that it's stored in china because there is a risk of having the coordinates of this john stolen and revealing the position of the operators. so as i said, we can see that there are locals civilians, they are donating their hobbies drones also made in china to bring in shows. but in contrast, just to counter this risk because the strong manufactured in china the us, it's been selling the similar go comparable platforms like golden eagle with a single performance. and if they're not to date and they have reliable interested

issues. ok, we'll have to leave it there. don't monica kind of told it from the set of a security studies in zurich. thank you. and i had a quick look at some more stories making news around the world. the funeral, the former japanese prime minister, she's a y, a has taken place in tokyo. thousands of motors gathered outside the temple where the private service was held. it was assassinated friday while campaigning in the city of norah, just days before parliamentary election. panama has announced measures to counter rising fuel and food costs flowing nationwide. protests president love and tino called t 0. the gas prices will be reduced and staple food prices, frozen pro. lemme get germany's new ambassador to israel is stephens. i bet you said there's german government spokesperson, under chance. the ongoing medical over a decade that he worked as a journalist side that reiterated his nation's historic commitment to israel

firefighters in spain of battling forest fires, sparked by an extreme 8 wave and drought residents evacuated their homes in the southwest region of extreme adora. they bring, which will, is also fighting a number of places drilling cause political crisis is now hitting citizens at the gas pump with break or high prices in an effort to can so fuel. the embattled government is asking people to work from home and has closed schools, restaurants of switch to cooking, meals with wood. thousands of protesters enraged by the countries western economic crisis storm the presidential compound and the prime minister's private home over the weekend was the president and the prime minister have agreed to step down opposition leaders, a racing to form. and you government reports that the president and his brother attempted to leave the country. i asked lawyer and human rights campaign up bonnie fonseca from the center for policy alternatives in colombo and its going down with protesters. well,

what we've seen in the last few days is quite remarkable in terms of the numbers that have arrived at the purchase sites. and as a result, we've seen the precedent agreeing to resign as well as the prime minister agreeing to resign. they have yet to resign. and this is something we need to keep in mind that a few days later are we still have a president and prime minister holding on to office. and now it's been reported that the president and his younger brother attempted to leave sri lanka, are waiting for a very fading for me as shown many doors look, say people at the airport as well as staff members prevented them from leaving. so there's real anger and frustration among people in sri lanka. and it looks say, people also want reckoning from the political leadership for the present crisis. i want to bring us back to this storming of the presidential palace. the footage we

saw was absolutely amazing. was it, or was it a clear sign that this is the end of president roger parcher and his family's grip on politics? well, we need to keep in mind that the purchase started several months ago. the produced started in march any to be expanded and sprayed to different parts of sri lanka. and the d mind has been very much clearly for the resignation of the precedent as well as the departure of the road to puck says, from active politics. so the warning signs have been there, people have been peacefully protesting for months. what happened on saturday, as you quite rightly said, was remarkable in terms of the numbers that came out. and the fact that after months of protesting, they were able to breach an inter board the presidential palace as well as the official office, the secretariat. also that sent

a clear message that time was up and the president had to resign as well as the prime minister. and in that context, it's still shocking that they're still holding on to office because the people have been very clear with their demand. when it comes to the process of appointing new political leaders, but what will they have the legitimacy to bring about the political stability that's needed in the country? well, we are in a political, any konami crisis and stability, critical, any incumbent on anyone who's going to take on the job that this is going to be given priority to, to re ensure that these economic recovery. now it's going to be a mammoth process to whoever takes it on how they're going to address this. i need to require a lot of attention and support a clear path in terms of a resignation of the proceed in the constitution provides for a clear path. there can be an acting prime needs,

a precedent who can be in office for 30 days, and it's up to parliament has been elect a member of parliament to serve the remainder of the period so days, a clear constitution provision. and a part way to address that with whoever takes it on will also require the support of parliament. so then legitimacy will really be dependent and will be tested in the coming weeks and months as to whether they are eager to address it. the opposition opposition leader has come forward and said he, he's interested. so the next few days are going to be interesting and hand leading sri lanka. bonnie fonseca, thank you very much for bringing us up to date of the situation there. thank you. the white house has revealed the 1st full color image taken by the james web space . telescope. masses is the photos the deepest look into the universe ever. it was taking a 1000000 miles from earth. the image shows the earliest stars and galaxies ever

observed. the telescope is expected to operate for up to 20 years. earlier i spoke to my mclaughlin senior advisor at the european space agency. i asked him how exactly the telescope will help us to look back in time. 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 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. the 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've changed in the meantime. those galaxies of 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 early a times in the universe. and what is it 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. in fact, 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 and a half kilometers away from the us 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 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 nash from the 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. you know, 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 bearing. 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, 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 with folks of asian telecommunications, i think was special about the hubble space telescope and web we'll have that as well. is the sense of, or an inspiration about this very big universe we live in and i, 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 bigger 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 know hello. know exactly some cosmic advice there from cochran singer, a bunch of science and exploration at the european space agency. thank you. my pleasure. and a reminder of our top stories. ukrainian missiles has struck russian held territory in the countries. a song region, ukraine's military says it is a russian ammunition depak pasha climb. several people were killed and dozens of about those injured in the strike and should i guess government is calling for calm as potential prices hit, record highs. leaders are asking citizens to stay home in an effort to say fuel mile opposition leaders have been unable to agree on a new president watching the www. sly from berlin. close out
