ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. russia strikes deep in the heart of you crime . at least a dozen people are reported killed after a russian missile hits the city of units on central ukraine. and that's far from the front lines in the east and the south of the country. also coming to alaska on

edge of the days of turmoil troops on patrol in the capital, colombo after the government reinforces occur, few to restore order to protest as lead government buildings and consider the next move. and u. s. president joe biden holds talks with israeli prime minister here. it appears as part of a visit intended to on the school. the deep ties between the 2 countries. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. and we begin with breaking news from ukraine. russian missiles have struck the central ukrainian city of vineyard. so this is a mobile phone footage of the immediate aftermath of the attack. local authorities say at least 3 missiles, it's an office block and damaged nearby residential buildings. at least 12 people are reported dead, including child does, is boy injured. many of them are in

a serious condition for a more details, less crossover to do w's. ne conley in key of nick a deadly strike in the heart of ukraine. far away from the front lines. what more can you tell us? well, indeed, vinegar is a city that is at 400 kilometers, is the closest front line to that city. it hadn't seen much in the way of russian attack, cynthia, early stage of this war when a military targets on the edge of the city had been bombed. so the downtown basically this is did their 1st experience of this kind of devastation and interesting enough, this was right slap bang during the middle of the working day. most of these message act happened at night when there are few people about. but this was just before 11 am local time, so lots people about going on their business and yet seemingly no military target, at least in terms of infrastructure, anywhere near by, at most, some offices, military m, logistics offices,

but no equipment anywhere to be seen. and the ukraine government is saying that this is just part of a continuous russian strategy to try and so panic by the front lines to basically force ukrainians to put pressure on their own government to come to some kind of agreement with russia to cave in to russian demands because basically this once again shows them that wherever they are, how far away they think they are from danger. they are always within range of these russian cells. now this is of course a demonstration of power. but is this really a sign of strains from the russians, or is it the son of desperation? well, definitely, there's been a lot of talk in ukraine of a recent days. but the successes that have been achieved with the help of russian of, excuse me, american rocket artillery systems against russian targets those high mars rocket launchers have enabled ukraine to really go for russian logistics hubs for their. i mentioned deborah, and we've seen that the russians basically have a lot fewer in the way of shells to use against ukrainian targets already being

starved of supplies. and that really has now force russia to go to these kind of tactics to use missiles, cruise missiles, and attacks from the air that can be done from russian territory. far away from any ukrainians who could reply so sensitive that russia is running out of options. and is running in the direction of these kinds of missile strikes that often as we've seen in recent weeks, are most likely to great significant civilian casualties. or i'd need to stay with us because this strike costs a cloud over what many had seen as a ray of hope. after months of global grain shortages and soaring food prices, ukraine and russia appear to be just inches away from a deal to get ukrainian grain flowing to the rest of the world. again. after hours of negotiations in is stumbled, turkeys defense minister announced ukraine and russia had reached the provisional agreement to allow grand shipments through the black sea turkey. and the united nations helped broker that deal expected to be signed next week. it would end the stand off that is left more than $20000000.00 tons of grain stock in ukrainian

ports. and let's go back to new comedy and key of nick. what should we make of this? is this the breakthrough? it's been cast that well, there are lots question mark. so hang over this deal, how in practice this is actually gonna work? how, who's gonna remove those mines that have been blocked the access to those black sea port since the beginning of this war? and given this attack in vanessa and just the general climates of near distrust and basic open hostility between ukraine, russia, how the ukrainians are really going to justify to their own people taking away these defenses to make the shipments possible. i think it's still very difficult to see. there's been talk about a turkish military or navy capacity to somehow guarantee these safety provisions for ukraine. but for now, i don't really see that this is anything that ukrainian leaders can explain to people in odessa, in mich alive,

who have been attacked by russian force from the see time tom again, in recent months, reminders again her name. what's at stake here? what was the for ukraine? this is massive, economically, ukraine's farmers are sitting on, lost, his crop an anal bring in this year's crop, and often enough to have anywhere to put all this grain that hasn't left the country. so, so you're in crucial for the rest of this country's economy. other ukraine business is desperate to get. there are their products out, the landlords, his aunt coping with the kind of volumes needed. and then more importantly, see this is for the wider world. ukraine has enough grain to feed itself and actually prices are dropping here because the grain isn't going out. but people in places like syria, lebanon, who incredibly depend on ukrainian grain for their daily bread. yet these prices are still sky high. and until this grain gets out, the price is going to stay there. so in a way, this is potentially more important for ukraine's grain consumers main in the middle east and north africa. that is for people here on the ground to a lease with in terms of food have enough to see them through this war did of years

nick, commonly there for us in the, the ukrainian capital. keep. thank you, nick. i was on his re lanka now with the interim government ass reimpose, the curfew a day off to angry crowds, storm government buildings, the prime minister who is now also acting president as ordered security forces to restore. com. protesters have agreed to leave government buildings as people still wait for the official resignation of president go to buy our auto parts of the fled the country. while it is going through a devastating economic crisis. lanka is descending into chaos and parliament has been unable to enact reforms. i'm now joined by rainy . i'm or syria parliamentarian for the national people's power party. can i ask you as an opposition politicians? are you powerless to change this situation at all or no,

not. tomorrow i think he's going to be able to. i had the appointment a president agreed at the party meeting that was convened by the speaker by the next several days ago. that on the 20th of this month, i will elect a new president. currently, de some confusion as to the status of the acting president because a legal, that appointment has been because there is no communication from what's out there. who as you know, i left a have been, i'm here. do you think that you as a position have the support of the people on the street? i think as the opposition, the people on the street expect us to do

a particular task. and that is to ensure that an interview, government is appointed and that parliament is dissolved as soon as possible so that fresh elections have been arguing and registers outside have also been saying this that parliament has also lost it now at a loss to say yes. what are the demands of a game department? is that because the parliament has it currently constitute? it has a 2 thirds majority from the president's party, which has made it really difficult to push through any kinds of reforms that people have been demanding. and as a result of that, you just did it between the parliament and the people

outside, especially the projectors. and we've been out me for a while that this whole crisis economy crisis has been updated by the political crisis, which also needs to be addressed or which needs to be addressed in order to ensure some kind of stability. and for that we are asking for a fresh election. ok, but are you sure you mentioned the trust deficit between the public parliament? but can you promise any real change for the country if your position comes to paul? well the, the question is that if, if there is an election, people will then select a party of representatives of that choice. and there will be a period that will be given to that new government, to that new administration, just to make the kinds of interventions are to bring about the necessary to do

that building confidence and that, and that just that, that will come with the new government we think is essentially not, we are not predicting that new government it will be. but we think that if the election a press start for a government and a new beginning for, for the people also to be able to move forward with some kind of the bombs arena. a parliamentarian from sri lanka, thank you very much for your time. you're welcome israel's prime in a sub jerry le pete has well come to you as president joe biden to jerusalem on his 48 hour middle east trip in there. one to one talks biden urged you to join other middle eastern nations in a united front against iran who analysts say is rapidly approaching completion of a nuclear weapon. israeli prime minister vowed never to let that happen on friday

a meetings who understand it will be some, a kind of a declaration being signed by old. this will be a bit more formalized again. on the other hand, of course, there's a lot of talk upon both sides a to we in to integrate israel into the reach. and that, of course, is based on a recent peace agreements or the normalization of diplomatic ties with united arab emirates with buffer aim with morocco. and, you know, israel would like to see a push show help from the united states to broaden, ah, you know, this regional alliance as well as there's a lot of talk about a kind of informal defense alliance here. first and foremost again, since you mentioned it already, again, sta a common threat that is yvonne and of course as well. i did the issue of iran and the nuclear talks that have been happening in vienna are also on the table here.

now, how is this nuclear threat from iran shaping alliances in the region? yeah, i think that is the interesting part because this is, i think, why those countries, one of the reasons is certainly, and in their own interests and all have their own bilateral relations. again, also to even among them, but this is one of the reasons why we're seeing shaping up those different alliances coming together. and i think it's really very interesting to see that there's such talk, ortho defense ally, even a defense the lines of even know talk about the early warning system. i talked to experts here and i've been saying, you know, they're very, there are many contacts also in formula contacts. a, one of the main issues, of course, for israel as well. what they would like to see is said to take that there be, that's been taken for some kind of, you know, towards the normalization or with saudi arabia. and some of the u. s. officials

here has said to know that there's no breakthrough in that regard to be expected, but there are many and former are, you know, talks are being had. and that is what is very important for israel responded to tanya kramer, in jerusalem there. thank you, tanya. i forgot to bring you the press conference of joe biden, anthea's railey minister live as soon as it happens. but ross, here's a quick look at some of the other stories are happening right now. france and celebrated its national holiday with a parade on the chandeliers in paris. french troops march together with eastern european nato allies in a show of solidarity before the holiday french president. demo mccall praised ukraine for standing up to russian aggression the only word star kevin spacey has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual offenses. the one celebrated actor is

and frustration among victims is growing. one year after scenes of abandonment, this used to be a tranquil village street with half timbered houses and gardens on the banks of the ar. the apparently harmless stream that became a raging torrent taking cars, houses everything with it, and leaving lasting marks on the people here. not i'd answer for that. are you afraid of water? even if taking a shower you hear the sound of the water coming out of the shower head and it remind you of that rushing sand and the wetness. last full. jojo, hanrick's childhood home survived the flood, but an outside wall almost collapsed. after 8 months of work, the family was able to move back in at least 134 people died when the r
