ah, 1st it was a blast at a russian air base in crimea, then explosions and an air filled in bell roofs. both this week, both mysterious and both not attacked by ukrainian forces. that's according to the russians. publicly, kiva is not so certain. it's military remains outgunned by russia, but there is a growing sense that that calculus doesn't mean what it used to. i'm break off in berlin. this is the day. ah, russian all starting to fail in bits of the liberals, the occupant himself was more the faster we can liberate. assume i got on to lot that we have to make fun reaching decisions to support ukraine in its fight voided

shots. a time will come when the russians were from harkins dot us crimea. they have failed so far, and i'm likely to ever succeed in occupying that ukraine. also coming up a year after the taliban takeover of afghanistan, the country's health care system is on the brink of collapse. one, german and jia is making life and death decisions about which children to air lift to europe for treatment. it's quite hard to say he can come with us, so you can come with us next time without knowing, especially with the pain informations. if the children will still be alive and 6 months, which you, our viewers watching on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin the day with a series of explosions at russian military bases near the border with ukraine. they look like attacks, but moscow insist. they're not saying the glass in crimea and bill roost were

either accidents or technical malfunctions. now keith has not publicly claimed any responsibility here, but the ukranian president in his cabinet, they have seized upon events to shape the narrative in ukraine's favor ukraine's allies are in step with that message. i want you to take a listen to what the u. k. defense minister said earlier today, russia all starting to fail in many areas. they had failed so far, and i am likely to ever succeed in occupying that ukraine. their invasion has faulted and constantly being modified to the extent they are really focusing in parts of the site and in the east. a long, long way away from that 3 day. so called special operation 3 days and i over a $150.00 days and nearly 6 months in with huge, significant losses of both equipment and indeed russian personnel. yeah. now, back to those exposure or that explosion and bill, a roof spell rouge has played down reports of over night. last, at

a military air base near its border with ukraine. the bell rings, you defense ministry said an engine called fire and that there were no casualties. franak b, a cork, up, a senior advisor to belushi that exalt opposition leader svetlana t hadn't of sky. yes. he has a different account of events and he is my 1st guest to night frantic. it's good to have you back on the day and tell me what have you heard about what happened in bella? ruth's do, do you know who was responsible for what happened? and we don't know who is responsible yesterday, perhaps at 11 pm. we received information from multiple sources about the explosions about the last about the flashes. it was so it broke up. so we've been home in the region and it's definitely not the fire engine. this people, the features of the video we tried to identify in the

last time, but unfortunately it's very difficult to understand. wasn't made that in jail or was it the talk was an artist on some diversion. we don't know for sure, but the official statement from ministry defense of location got used. it was just the fire engine. yeah. and there is no mention at all in the official explanation of the possibility of the explosion being the result of a ukrainian attack, right. of course and, and we can, we can't expect that fisher leverage in propaganda will say that it's ukrainian army attacks. but this can be all for the, talking to me stable russian military or behavior like their host and others. and since february 2022, they created multiple dangerous situation in the normal and breast region bordering

with ukraine. in front of it remains almost impossible to verify reports on the ground in bill. the ruse is the same in crimea and how worried are you that the fog of war could create unrealistic expectations among the ukrainian people as well as the people in bella russo who are against this war? absolute majority of the letter sends them one billers would be dropped into this war. there is a huge fear lest the year should wear afraid of repression. so fairer. now people are afraid of war and location, which is regime they are trying to drag nelson miller's army into this company. but the dissemination those and population, even the ocean officers, they resist, they do a possible to prevent these provocation, this se explosions. yesterday was the also the publication well the through force that regime emblems army to answer the warning the frame. and i hope it won't

be, do you? do you think of that? that is a possibility that ukraine could be trying to force bill a roost to get into the work. where do you think that that pressure is coming from you can definitely doesn't want to let us know, and that's what it great. the doesn't one that a government rates a lot of times for the directive, it's about, it's almost finished on either of williams and the democratic movement. and that they go all possible to prevent from, from entering this war. but the question is, how much of an army, how much our partisans can do in march and april, our park is on still, russian trains, a several partisans are facing right now. the final because of the sabotage effects . and now we're trying to strengthen this on the ground movement,

but the regime is so cruel people that are arrested every day for every hour. they work all month for every work and support an adviser to go to new zealand. he has again, issued a thinly veiled warning to russia and its ally bill or roots. and let me just read that for you. the epidemic of technical accidents and military airfields of crimea and bill roost should be considered by russia's military as a warning. forget about ukraine, take off the uniform and leave. neither in occupied crimea, nor in occupied bell. ruth, wil you feel safe karma, find you anywhere. there's a very strong words there. frantically. this of course is ukrainian government messaging. it sounds like ukraine believes that it is now winning this war, is that how you see in crane is definitely a wing and the information space is definitely

a win international reaction and national organizations. but in terms of the front line, it's not so clear yet. but to be want your green to win, because when your brain rings prevail from russia, it will create transfer yellows with get free as well right now, the face of where we are so interconnected, never in history, and we do all possible to support the brain. we support volunteers, military volunteers fighting free because we know we know that the support will held them to win and they are weak. that will help us to win over to you. and i have spoken before about the german government and how it was criticized for dragging its feet with our shipments of weapons to ukraine. when this invasion began with fiercely not being tough enough on russia. i want you to take a listen to what transfer short said today. because that also to the biggest challenge is a terrible war that russia started against ukraine that has already lasted many

months, will not have yet. it means we have to make far reaching decisions to support ukraine and it's fine for independence with the foot. it wound us as you know, we are doing that with a massive break with our previous policy by delivering weapons. very, very many, very efficient, long range weapons. what does that mean? and we will continue to do that in future. we are supporting ukraine financially, and we have reconciled ourselves with this war affecting the whole world, europe and our country. and so the root of the zip switched in the front of the german chancellor's strong words are another very positive signal for the ukrainians. do you think the ukranian forces are now in possession of the weapons that they need to begin pushing the russians back? it will never be enough, of course, the delivery of the german american british and canadian weapons is very,

very important. but so we are dealing with a grueling fire, with militaristic regime of which has so much arms weapons, equipment that remains after soviet union. everything that was done already is not enough. so i think the delivery must continue. green must receive everything they want, but also not on the crane. most of the on the ground movement, underground resistance and just like billers, most must be supportive and we are grateful to german government. written this one tells can she needs a office. and they promised to do all possible to support a fight against the question. because we ship the ukranian president zelinski, he says that this war will end only when the annexation of crimea is over. is that a realistic goal? considering the russian position,

russia will get weaker and weaker. it will get exhausted after some time. you know, this resumed the they, they are looking invincible until they're not on the we must be optimistic. yes, it will be a very difficult when there are many people you have to pay bigger crisis and access. but this is the price we pay for many years. so election regime, i'm sure a lose a russian all the garson russian society is getting well. so not so happy. so we, we just have to be ready to use that window of opportunity. and to, during this energy in russia again and, you know, before we were no time trying to, you know, we hear so much about what is at stake with the outcome of this war, particularly for ukraine. but what about a bill of roofs? a democratic revolution reform in bill roots, is that possible?

as long if russia loses this more? will it be possible for bill a roost to have democratic reforms? and is it possible, as long as vladimir putin is still in charge in russia? a russian doesn't depend on the state of beliefs and ukraine, and this is why in 2020 but i would have ocean started which and supported lucas and come back of them and spent $21.00 correct down on civil side. but we didn't know that the plant so that your frame wasn't really in the future and everything that was happening and it was a frequent ration for it back on by with a was a ready completion region in the separation from the board. as always from that, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. while the front lines in this were ukraine had stepped up,

the tax on russian supply lines. commanders are repairing a counter offensive to retake areas in the south, which are currently held by russia, the w's martinez burger. he went to the front lines to meet ukrainian finders. you were getting ready for trench warfare with another a weeds at the bottom of the trenches. that's how long the frontline has been here and you have so forsaken. that's his battlefield name. this has meant months of living in and under the u. this is where they sleep, eat and wait for something to happen. ukraine's national poet taught us should jenko, which is over them. yet when they shell us, we all come down here to people have to stay outside to monitor the situation. the others hide in here and we're it's mostly been an artillery will being shell shelling back, waiting for the next round. 2 sides target each other from

a distance trying to damage a position enough to then storm multiple of her. yes. okay. not a lot of the front is in danger of a tank attack, but believe me, if they commodore will meet them adequately. williams, as they shouted, luther right now is the ukrainians were attacking when they launched a counter offensive weeks ago and have taken a few dozen settlements and the advance is slow jordan recipient. we liberate the settlement that we can when we do, we don't move into the village, but we make sure the russians are gone. we don't go in, in order not to risk our soldiers live. that is important. when the command thinks that we have enough weapons and how soldiers will happily move for you, sir, other super duty period as we travel to another position

scorched, we can't get information on how many modern western weapons they have. at this section at the front. we are constantly told it is not enough to move on more boldly. because the brake from the shelling lunch in the trench, she said the soldiers have been living here too for many months. at the moment the mood is even relaxed. here in the trenches, there is a break in the fighting, but there is the expectation that the russians might step up. they're selling again . soldiers, no decent, right? so not tillery dump has in high models, much of a rocket launches, disrupt the russians. things from both dr. lee to less shelling from their side for a certain period of time. but the russians also adjust their logistics. they learn the lessons from al highmark and far ranging artillery political, what's native,

unfortunately, the war is not just a permanent turn in our favor. it's a process and it keeps changing itself here in the trenches at the glass on front. it's about patients moving forward carefully and keeping focused on wheels. ah. the u. s. attorney general has broken his silence on the f. b. i read of donald trump's florida estate earlier this week, marik garland and justifying the raid on trump's mar lago estate by saying that there was probable cause for the unprecedented search. you also addressed fears, criticism from some republicans that the raid was politically motivate. first, i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. second, the department does not take such a decision lightly where possible in

a standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search. and to narrowly scope, any search that is undertaken. 3rd, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the f, b i and justice department agents and prosecutors. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. nearly a year on from the return to power by the tale bought. afghanistan's health care system is in chaos. victims of violence in particular are suffering from a lack of medical care. d, w. 's molina groomed reports to night on a german aid organizations efforts to help sick and wounded children. the people here are hoping to get medical help in germany. hundreds of parents have come to the african capital travel with seriously children. so did 11 year old up to and

his father both hands would turn off in a bump attack and she's almost blind and he left the 8 organization and i will bring him to germany for further treatment. i don't know. i visited other hospitals, but i didn't cover that. that's why i'm here because i need help with my hands so that so glad that those clarity, i'm having an employee of freedom stuff international has been flying to afghanistan for years. she and her team have to make life and death decisions, which one of many children brought to german money for further treatment. on seeing the shots, it's quite hard to say you can come with us so you can come with us next time without knowing, especially with the bone information that the children will still be alive. and 6 months later, to no, not at this time more children showed up than ever before. $2200.00 families and total. the situation in afghanistan is disastrous. the economy has collapsed. many

people are starving. doctors have left the country. and so have many aid organizations they cannot come in fish. and meanwhile, the children are coming to us again without bandages. plus, they can get pain killers. we have seen severely injured children who would be treated in an intensive care unit in germany, $100.00 without pain killers, without bandages one is just lying at home. and in fact, to how the leading a few months later germany, we meet at the 8 organizations compound. she lives here with other seriously injured children from crisis and war regions around the world without parents, an emergency community for as long as operation. and we habilitation take to day abdul has to have his wounds checked out soon the doctors went to operate on his forearm. so the heat uses it like a pin, sir. one can and i'm not as ha it's,

i'm not scared of the operation. i'm happy that operating on me. i'm not scared, it'll fetch them until then i'm through spends his spare time with his new friends . they help him with pain and pharma, home sickness and buddhist not yet know when he will be in. he's already looking forward to showing his family living in the cease fire between israel and militants in garza is holding after 3 days of intense clashes. israel's military says it's rockets killed leaders of the palestinian islamic jihad militant group, but many civilians died. he gaz including children, one blast killed 5 boys in the street where they were play driving through jamalia and overcrowded refugee settlement in a northern gaza strip. there is little to remind you at 1st of the rockets,

the death and the madness of the past week. and then suddenly you come across a memorial set up by neighbors to honor a father and his 5 sons who were killed here. he, they were in this alley way on saturday. as the sun went down, caught in the open. they had no chance to run when a rocket exploded in their midst, killing 5 and seriously injuring 2 more. both survivors were children. gunner that had been the girl was inside me. i was supposed to go out and call her brothers inside for dinner. i shall know. the girl is named roha. she's 11 years old, a pupil in the 6th grade. every one is quiet in her hospital room when the camera crew enters. then her family members remove her blanket. they want the world to see this doctor's had to amputate both of perhaps legs and her right arm. after the

rocket exploded, her parents raced outside, calling out and crying in, oh, but having had we found her brother 1st and he was covered in blood down that he was alive clement, we waited until the ambulance came and then we kept searching for a half to 2 hours we found her in the hospital with no legs, ashley and only one arm. they had, i had to get out of the rocket that killed 5 children, and jubilee and maimed were huff is perhaps the most controversial weapon fired in the recent conflict. nobody wants to take responsibility for it. is lama jihad say, every missile that hit garza was israeli. but israel says this video proves that the rocket that hit jubilee was fired from gaza. and malfunctioned finally slamming into the crowded neighbourhood. to melissa i sent 2 kilometers away and a few hours earlier in israeli rocket destroyed odayes sham locks house. he knows

it was israel because they called him on the phone number touch on my phone rang oh hello selma. like uncle mother, will you have 10 minutes to evacuate at your house? he's a man's voice on the other end, said, get him out of the thing to live on o die shamela grabbed his family and his phone and got out in time to see his house . blow up, why him was the strike targeting his neighbors where they suspected terrorists owed, i says he has no idea. oh, the rockets have stopped flying, but the question of who was to blame for the violence looms large in jamalia last saturday. whoever was behind the attack, wiped out the lives of innocence. another summer heat wave here in europe is worsening. the drought in many parts across the continent. here in germany, the rhine river, the country's most important for freight transport is at dangerously low levels. and that's threatening to disrupt coal supplies to power plants,

as well as affecting german german chemical producers which are located along the river. most people when they hear drought think of parched farm land, but the extreme conditions are also taking a heavy toll on woodlands endure and bear in southern germany. local authorities have come up with an unorthodox plan to help the city's trees, whether this dry spell. a cold shower is essential if these trees in europe the got to survive. the high temperature is a taking metal. metal bound, we have been giving each tree to 100 leaches of water nicely distributed so that the water can trickle down to the fine route. subsequent come this weather. the cities indoor swimming pools of the source of the water floating on haystack. his colleagues pumped out several times a day. the former form lytham's name means that we don't have to use drinking water from the mains for the trees. it was a great idea to use the water from the swimming pool of that would have otherwise ended up in the water treatment plant. seagly unlocked low via the city of

nuremberg, close 3, and or pulls to save energy. so all of a sudden there was water law, the pool shut down weeks ago, and no chlorine has been added since then. yes, miss denise. mamma, the pool is close, so we don't need to art chlorine, it breaks down and disperse, is when we don't add any more fuel. so there are no problems using it. the water is currently slaking the 1st of $10000.00 trees in nuremberg get out in, especially in the, in a city which is very built up. it's important to keep the trees as much water as possible in the areas of open saw, which are relatively small in size lines. and it's the type of creative solution that will be needed more and more with climate change. save the trees the days almost around the conversation continues online. you can find me on twitter at brent golf t v. and remember whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody

with is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what it could look like will return to normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult
