i knew christina is already in as free. that because interim leader of the days of political turmoil, of protest as joy over the resignation of president, via russia patch up could be short lived. russia, target, southern ukraine. several missiles trying to universities in michel i have to put city has come under heavy bombardment in recent days. and a german court sentences of former soldier 5 and a half years in prison for plotting a farm bright terror attack. ah, i've been puzzled and welcome you, as president joe biden has restated his support for a 2 state solution for israel and the palestinians. but says the ground is not bribed to restart peace talks by was speaking of the talks with palestinian leader . man, what a boss in the occupied west bank a meeting as part of biden's 1st,

middle east trip as president biden has placed millions of dollars in a package of financial and technical helpful palestinians. it's this an ins who want by at to say and does realise palestinian people deserve a state of their own, that independent sovereign viable and contiguous to states for 2 peoples. both of whom have deep and ancient roots in this land. living side by side in peace and security, both states fully respected, equal rights of the others citizens. both peoples enjoy in equal measure, freedom, and dignity. that's what this is fundamentally all about. every person has the right to be treated with dignity, is simply basic. i know that the goal, the to state seems so far away while indignities like restrictions on movement and travel or the daily worry of your children's safety are real and they are immediate

. the palace, the palestinian people are hurdy, now you feel it. you can just feel it, your grief and frustration in the united states, we can feel it. but we've never give up on the work piece. you know, there must be a political horizon at the palestinian people can actually see where at least feel . we can allow the hopelessness cecile away the future that so many of worked toward for so long. so even if the ground is not right at this moment, to restart negotiations, united states and my administration will not give up on trying to bring the palestinians, israelis and both sides closer to. and let's begin now. cars on a ton. you kramer who's in bethlehem atanya, let's start on there that use of financial aid because the money that biden is

pledging there, the extra money is money that was taken away from trump, from that funding for the palestinian people, wasn't it? yeah, that's right, and i think this a visit year also meeting with palestine imprison mahmoud abbas is sir, is sir, has many layers to it. and the one hand reaches her to know there will be again, aid coming in, financial assistance from the united states. and 8 was almost her old cut off by the trump administration on other policies that were seen by the palestinians as biased towards israel. and so this is also seen as a reset, you know, of to plotting ties between the palestinian authority and the united states. and that's why bosom so important that the, to our meeting here, as for them to abide, was before in a hospital in the palestine hospital in east jerusalem. where he also pledged money

for a palestinian hospital network of which is very important there. because a lot of patients come there, you know, from garza from the occupied west bank and they get the permits to come there. and they come there for a specialized treatment. so that is also very important. so financial aid for people hurting to use biden's words. what about the, the bigger picture though, and the big question of face? well, absolutely, because it cannot be only about economic and gestures. we also heard before president mahmoud abbas saying, you know, he emphasized that the time has come after so many years that a palestinian state is needed. and a, you know, he urged a president i joe biden, you know, the, to help a to, to create a critical, credible political, a framework to go for it. but we also heard a just now and the statement that we saw a while,

mr. biden. he emphasized the need for a to state a solution and that, you know, are he also acknowledged the difficulties that palestinians face and their day to day lives if you know, restrictions of freedom of movement. for example, especially he and bethlehem as well. people will talk about it, but he also said a d at that the ground is not the advice for new negotiation. so that is a bit discouraging. and that is why are the or united states? he says he, they want to have the day to day lives, and that's why they put these economic measures. but of course, that stopped short, you know, to any political framework at the moment. although we're hearing a lot about, you know, a push for, for peace in the region, like israel and normalizing ties with other arab nations. but when it comes to the palestinian israeli conflict, be it, we're not seeing any such push or at the moment. okay, that sir, so unfortunate to hear, al corresponded tanya kramer, they're reporting on that trip from you as president joe biden,

to the middle east. thank you very much for your time. to lancaster prime minister on the other claim, a singer has been sworn in as acting president. it comes off to formerly to go to buy a roger pasha officially resigned off to fleeing the country. for months to lincoln's, have been demanding the removal of roger poacher who de blame for the country severe economic crisis on the streets, just re lanka. people celebrate after hearing the country's president has resigned . they say this is a triumph for democracy. oh is a huge ricky mist rather here more than 3 months. and i would like to say like, it's this. i mean, at this moment i feel is that a good lesson for all caught up at 4 digits, inter lanka, yasser, extremely happy velocity because we love to be go deposit and we always the most baldwin. both are in the gandhi, i'll be sure to be burbalow cch. extremely happy birthday was president got to buy

a raja pox, fletcher lanka, to the mall div, ending up in singapore, before emailing his official resignation. to longer housey months of anti government protests with people storming government buildings and taking over heavily guarded compounds. many a frustrated with the worsening political and economic crisis that's caused food and fuel shortages. getting died in a day earlier, protesters entered the prime minister's office. the man who they worry, we'll take over the country. some occupied the sitting areas, and others took selfies. the army has been brought in to restore law and order after prime minister renelle vikram, a singer. now the acting president called for a state of emergency demonstrate as have agreed to vacate the occupied buildings,

but many say they still don't have confidence in their leaders. oh, yeah, i was, i don't want the bill. oh, well, the president's resignation is a stance. the protest to say they want a complete overhaul or sri lanka, leadership. they vowed to continue to take to the streets until they believe there is real change. so what's next for sri lanka? that's the question i posed to on of a maya south asia corresponded for the german public broadcast and a r d it's difficult to predict really what people say is that there's gonna be an election them held by parliament next wednesday. and there will be a new president elect, some people think that the prime minister, former prime minister, i need to become his senior, was now the acting president, will also run for president. and that's quite a tricky situation because the people were celebrating yesterday that the go to buy

era to pack sales. finally designed for a resigned from authors. but they do not want any vicar missing as the next president of this country. so the next days are gonna be tricky, and if i'm going to become a singer really becomes the new president of this country, than the turmoil is going to continue against the lanka. hearing colombo, how are locals receiving this news? i mean, yesterday, as i already mentioned, they were really happy when the message got through that they're good to buy a router pack, so resigned. there were like tears of joy, really, the protest has said that we finally reached our goal that he resigned. but the future, as i already mentioned, is really uncertain as well. there are not so many names circulating, herm, of who might become the next president of c lanka. and the people just told that it's going to be a name that is fresh. you know, that brings hold back to the people because people have been suffering here for

weeks for month even. and they do need a fresh start in c lanka. and because they hold the, the current leaders in the outgoing leaders as those responsible for driving the country into an economic crisis, which has also become a, a humanitarian crisis, hasn't it? totally. i mean, people are really suffering. we are shot with a lot of people here. people who are standing in gas and fuel lines for days, sir, for 7 days and nights, sometimes they sit in their little auto and they just hold that they get like one liter fuel and say they didn't get it for a week. then they go to the black market, pay at $6.00 times more than usual, just to be able to drive around with the car. they can't really keep their families . families are struggling to put food on the table for their children. then medicine is rare. yancey lanka, right? now it's not being imported because they don't have any money to import these goods . so

a life is very tough for the people. and so that's why had they have been protesting for such a long time for nearly 100 days. and finally, they need a change here. so oliver, what, what sort of president or what would whoever the next president is? have to do to change that situation. lots of stuff actually, and he needs to unite the people at 1st that he needs to give them the feeling that they all belong together and no matter where they come from. and he also needs to solve that huge debt problem because he like has over $15000000000.00 of debt. and there's no concept right now in the how to pay that money back. there is talks movie, international monetary fund, but they have said they see nor no clear concept and how they want to pay it back. so there needs to be a solution for that as well. of of my a thank you very much for giving us a clear picture of the situation. barry and sri lanka,

russian missiles have struck 2 universities in nikolai of in southern ukraine. they had of the siegel i, of, in southern ukraine. the head of the cities military administration released this footage of the strikes according to the regional governor at least 10 russian missiles hit early on friday morning. if no immediate reports of casualties as fire fighters and rescues comb through the rabble. the city which is located near the strategically important black sea has come under increased rushing fire in recent days. 5 people were killed in a strike there on wednesday. corresponding my watches has more on the attack. well bound because i f is a really closer to the front line. in fact, it is also a front line. nikolai f itself is not occupied yet, but the region around it, or there's a parts of it that are occupied by the russian army by pro separatist groups as well. and these city is cynthia under basically constant shelling,

10 me sighs. early this morning. they fell out between other buildings. they fell on to universities. we dont have an estimated as to how many people have been injured at least 2 people have been injured. but we do not know more about a possible other casualties. but these kind of attack, especially in the southern part and in the eastern part of ukraine, has become a daily, has happened on a daily basis. now, how are you craniums coping with this situation? when you say this sort of stuff is happening on a daily basis, well, you know as much as you can see a form of resilience when he comes, for example, to air read alarms. yesterday, hearing here if we had a series of air red alarms, which lasted one of them for several hours, another one for 10 minutes and you can see people in the streets, you know, they just enter their everyday life day. they are very resilient on that account.

however, when we get the news that we got yesterday from vanessa, with dozens of people killed in a residential area by and, you know, by selling those news really affects people when it says a place, you know, where a lot of people, even cuba, her, but also people are from her eastern ukraine sense their family because they thought it was safer and when places that are away from their frontline are being hit, as is the case very, very regularly. well, people here really feel that there's no way safe all around the country. ah, there are reports the in the meantime that the russian parliament been recalled from holiday for an extraordinary sessions, who consider unspecified government initiatives. it is that the war in ukraine that they're going to be talking about we can safely assume that the war in ukraine know will be something that will come up during these extraordinary session on me. but it is no, no, not to give too much of

a i had thought to the parliament when it comes to wants is going to be discussed. but we also know that, you know, the vast majority of the russian parliament supports of letting me puddings initiatives. when he comes to the one ukraine, we could think about the discussion of a possible referendum in occupied territories when he comes to their annexation, or perhaps even their annexation defacto will be discussed. it is something with find out for me later today. did hobbies mulash us in a ukrainian capital? thank you. the effects of the war in ukraine a being felt across the globe. ukraine is a major explorer of grain, but russia's invasion means stalks of wheat and corn can't leave the country. shortages of pushing up prices threatening food security in many parts of the world, including across africa. this next report from synagogue was produced by french public tv. no ships from russia or ukraine have all but disappeared from african

ports. they were a common sight here before the war, but now they no longer supply the continent with grain. other countries have taken up the slack. this cargo ship loaded with wheat is arriving from argentina, but down is not enough. the people of senegal and other countries on the continent, fear that prices will soar hard. this will how much the small one is $0.15 the other $0.30 here, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line. so every penny is count it. wow, i'm the getting to it's the price of bread is raised again. it will be very difficult for a sandwich sellers because we already have high prices. the goods are already very expensive. to day, a ton of wheat costs more than $450.00 euros. this is twice as much as last here. for the moment, the state of cynical pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the price of flour and bread. but the sudden increase worries,

the miller's was old read of, i get to cynthia. today the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is in many north african countries, egypt, denisia, and morocco. but the question is, until when is there not a risk that we will be caught up by the reality of prices? that's the big question. so some bakers are trying to find solutions at their level . i imagine gay, for example, has already changed his recipes. by me. this is millet, you take the flower and mix it altogether. over lemonade, in his establishment, he trains his apprentices to make bread with products that are a 100 percent from synagogue. who is it? read luck, we must reduce the amount of weebly imported in the law and replace it with our own serials you, if you go to the coach while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing. basically,

all these countries, there are serials that can make bread, but local grain is more expensive than imported. wheat and financial support from the state is needed. if nothing changes with the increase in the price of wheat, the un announces that within the next few months, more than $40000000.00 people could be lacking food in west and central africa. is a quick look at some other stories making use around the world. italy is in crisis softer prime minister mario druggies resignation was rejected by the president. donkey said he would step down after a coalition. part of the 5 star movement refused to back. a government built doggy survived the confidence vote despite the rebellion. but said the coalition backing, his government no longer exists. finance ministers of the g 20 group of nations are gathering in barley for a summit, overshadowed by the board ukraine hosted in asia as called for a consensus on tackling soaring global food and fuel prices. the foreign ministers

of both russia and ukraine are expected to address the summit online. the european commission is taking hungry to court over a controversial l g b t q law law passed last month, band school material that's seen as promoting over sexuality or gender change. the government of prime is the victim all been justified. the measure is preventing child abuse. us basketball sa, brittany griner has made her 4th appearance in a russian court. you'll be gold medalist is pled guilty to carrying vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. the lawyers say the oil was prescribed by her dr. if convicted on drug possession charges going to could face up to 10 years in prison. a court here in germany has convicted a german soldier of planning a far right terrorist attack. it's entered the office at 25 and a half years in prison. the buddhist bailiff tenant, known as frank away laid a double life posing as a syrian asylum seeker. prosecutors say he intended to pass off an attack on senior

lawmakers as an act of terrorism, committed by a refugee. the case shines, a light on fire, right extremism in the german military. a corresponded husband is outside the court in frankfort. what more can you tell us about the verdict? the crucial part about the verdict is that this is an active german officer from the german army. you has now been convicted of having planned a act of violence against the vet that could have been in danger. a danger to the security of the state. in other words, german acting german officer has been convicted of being a right wing terrorist. this is quite spectacular in german society. the the penalty to which he has been condemned. 5 years at 5 and a half years in prison is somewhat lower than the prosecution in fact demanded. and

i think that is an indication like the court to acknowledge that the plans that he had were not so far develop that they could actually be put into action. give us a little more background on this case hands. it's a very curious case. one has to say this man franco, a was an elite soldier, and he was regarded as a great hope. as it were, of the german military. he was sent to a officer's training at a french academy of the french military academy. and when he wrote his master's thesis, it turned out to be a right wing pamphlet or a right wing treaties says, such a kind that the french people said if he was a officer, they would dismiss him. the germans, in fact, gave him a 2nd chance and he could rewrite his master's thesis and he was re integrated into the german, the german army, and sent to an elite battalion in france. about then in 5 years ago,

2017. he was caught in vienna where he had hidden a pistol in the airport in vienna and when he was trying to retrieve his pistol, he was arrested. and after that, the whole thing unravelled, it turned out that he had established a 2nd identity for himself, posing as a syrian refugee, and in fact had been given asylum aid by the german state as a syrian refugee, while at the same time still being an officer and the german army, and then it turned out that he had contacts to various right wing networks within the german army. and that's what led to the prosecution. so if the officer get any close to get close at all to actually carrying out his plans, he did spy on he did to check on details all the life and offices and so on, of a woman who is engaged in anti racist,

an anti racist organization. and an organization fighting against anti semitism. this was in berlin and he went to berlin and fact to spy on her. but she did not get so far that an actual date or an actual attack or whatever was planned. but that is not really a much import for the sentence. the sentence is based on a section of the law with which says, if you can prove the intent, whether or not the attack has is going to happen or is, is about to happen. if you can prove the intent, then that will lead to a conviction, and that was the case here as want in frankfort. thank you. now, have you ever wondered if woodpeckers get a saw a head from having their beaks in the trees all day? scientists used to believe the bird skull could absorb the impact, but a study in belgium revealed something else. woodpeckers smacked their heads against

trees in forests, the wild over when the bird hammered a tree with its beak experience has a force that's more than 10 times the 4th that would give a human concussion. it doesn't seem to bother the beds, but evidence to show how they cope is scant. we went to different suits across europe with high speed camera. and we filmed these birds during backing scientists and slowed down the films and analyzed how different parts of the had moved in relation to each other. the almost get a headache or cell by looking at the videos. so it's a logic response to think. yeah, they must have some kind of an mentor, an airbag thanks to their brains. the more you think about it did the less it makes sense for these words. if what back as heads,

cushion the blow from the tree would make their head butting less effective. so rather than absorbed the shock of the impact, the birds had acts like a stiff hammer and resist said. the bad, small size and small brain help it cope with the impact. the smaller the brain, the lower the load. to resist the shock woodpecker skulls have spongy bones which are light but very strong in their skull. the space that contains the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord is small to prevent damage from the fluid sloshing around. one theory suggests veins in the birth neck may be compressed, so the brain sit tight to in the skull. the suppose it shock absorbing qualities of the woodpecker skull has in spite protective materials and helmet design. but these newly discovered rigid qualities could now lead to a new generation of materials resistance to stress. i and a reminder of our top story. you as president joe biden has reaffirmed his support

for a 2 state solution between israel and the palestinians. but he added that conditions on the ground were not yet right for peace. he was speaking out to talk with mike, what about in the west bank as part of his middle east trip and sure they had prime minister. i knew what claim a singer as being sworn in as acting president protesters or celebrating out the his previous i said go to buying a roger pox. a fully resigned for his parliament. he said to convene in the coming days to choose and you like watching dw news life from berlin. i bain facility, and i found with
