is brought to my job with ah ah, this is the w news. live from bird, no respite from war on ye. crane's independence. more than 20 people are killed in an apparent russian strike ukrainian town. it comes as ukraine march, 31 years of freedom from moscow's rule, and 6 months of war as it fights to remain free. so coming up, you as president joe biden announces a plan to cancel summit student loan did. millions of americans could benefit some calling

a plan. unfair ah, i'm anthony howard welcome precedence zalinski says at least 22 people have died in a rush, an attack on a central v crania in town. running an official said, a boy was killed in a 1st wave of rush and shilling on ship lena, that struck his house. and on the 21, people died later when rockets hit the broadway station and set fire to a passenger train. that comes as ye crane marked a somber, independent states. 6 months after russia invaded lensky had his wife paid tribute to the soldiers who had given their lives data please mathias building. it is in chief and gave us an update on that attack in central ukraine. now today is a day where many people have expected such attacks will happen,

possibly even on the capital of key if this has not happened so far. but we've also heard that quite a few rockets have been intercepted by air defense by ukrainian air defense. and so impossible that some were meant for here for the, for the government buildings that russia has threatened to attack or that at least some russian propagandists have threatened to attack. and we've also seen rockets come down in other parts of the country in the more western man, it's key region. and also in hark if we've heard of or about explosions. so it's clear that russia is sending a signal out this day and it is that and that people have suffered from russian attacks again in different parts of the country. as mathias pulling up reporting for us from keith. and you, as president joe biden has announced a partial cancellation of student debt for some us college students. and graduates

the plan calls for a $10000.00 cut for those whose income falls below $125000.00 a year. sapient loans for low income students will see even bigger. economists say that will free up hundreds, billions of dollars. the new consumer spending freely. i ran for office to grow the economy from the bottom up in the middle. because when we do that, everybody does better. everybody does well. the wealthy do very well. the poor have a way up in the middle class can have really that's gonna help america win the economic competition the 21st century. i saw today's announcement about about opportunity is about giving people a fair sharp. it's about the one word america can be defined by the possibilities of more let's go across to take every correspondence in washington, d. c. carolina. to more carolyn,

to put this in the context of for us. how many americans will benefit from this governmental generosity? while anthony, to answer that question, it is important to understand how come on it is a for americans between 25 and 34 years old to take on student loans. about one in 5 americans hold student loans and to more than half of those have $20000.00 in debt. the problem is that many of them don't earn enough money to, to paid back, or some of them didn't, didn't even complete a degree because they had to start working on making money. we of course, have also to keep in mind that education is expensive in this country. this is not the case. for example, in germany where you have good education for little money in this country. good education often goes hand in hand with high payments. so at this shows how big the problem of student loans is here in the united states and how important this step was for many voters,

especially for young americans. this is also something that president biden has been promising for a long time. it even was one of his main promises during the presidential campaign in the year to 2019. as you say, this was part of biden's election platform. it affects a lot of americans as he site. does that mean though, that this is universally a popular move? well, not really, a president biden is facing critique not only from a political open and but also from well known democrats. like for example, larry summers, the treasury secretary for bill clinton or from obama's former economic advisor. and their old saying this type will cause even more inflation in the united states in the economy here in a moment where inflation is already hitting heart with 8.5 percent nationwide. and of course, also, republicans are adding to this critique that the government basically can't afford to spending all this money. and that it would be unfair to those who did already

pay their full debts. in the past critique also comes from the left wing democrats . they are complaining that the cancellation of the student debt is not enough and that while this might help a little, it won't change the broken system at work quality. education is this way too expensive for everyone besides the elite in the u. s. the spot, the criticisms you rightfully point out biden has got some momentum in the last month that would seem with the inflation reduction act. and now student debt relief . is this all well timed for mid term elections? that is precisely be a strategy anthony. according to the white house, 90 percent of the relief will go to people earning less than $75000.00 a year. this might have an effect on up to 43000000 people. so the administration is clearly addressing middle class people,

and when president biden promised support during his presidential campaign, and he's of course also a doing something for the younger borders here. as his youth support has been a quite a week in the last years. and this sub is, of course, specially important now just a couple of months away from the mid terms. according to the latest polls, the democrats might lose their majority in congress. so their strategy right now is to make policies that they can sell. and cancellation of the student debt is definitely a popular step that has been expected for quite some time, especially among the young voters, the deputies carleen, a chim roy in washington dc. thanks so much. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines, they sell and un secretary general antonio, who tennis has condemned new fighting in the t region of northern ethiopia. after an attack near the cheaper i border broke shaky cease fire in the region. the conflict between the central ethiopian government and to ground forces began back

in 2020 south africans have gone on strike to protest. the soaring cost of living and high unemployment tried unions called the marches in the city of pretoria. and demick has cost about new the troops in south africa. the german government has agreed on a package of new measures intended to counter a predicted increase in corona virus. cases later this year. includes plans for strict unmasked rules on trains and plains, but least most decisions on imposing restrictions up to germany's individual state . the package would still has to be passed by parliament rules out further lock downs, or school closures help minister calatrava said the rules would help the country be better prepared for a new wave of infections expects in water or earlier, we asked a doubly political correspond hands brandt,

where the germans supported further restrictions. there is public support. most recent polls show that at least half the population of support measures being imposed server, okay, are about a 3rd of people. so think that the measures that are envision envisioned are not strict enough or not strong enough. and i think the expectation is that once the weather turns cold, once the number of infections increases versus being predicted all over the world basically. and then the support for these measures will increase further and spread their low must half the you was under drought warnings and a report from the blocks earth observation program shows the extreme dry weather could continue in some regions for 3 more months. the po river in northern italy was once known as the king of rivets, but the parched conditions this european summer had caused billions of euros in losses to farmers who rely on italy's longest waterway to irrigate their fields.
