the debrief or of that the me side that just fell earlier this morning. so the road here is completely litter. this is a neighbor, completely desolate in a there's a lady and his to us is not just houses that have been shattered is so it so so entire lives here we have 3 people who got injured including a 14 year old girl. they were all taken to nearby hospital, and one of them is seriously injured in the aids a mass her attack her over a ukraine over a 120 me size. i believe to have been a sands or the government ukrainian government, or as said that above key to 60 in me size were shut down by air defense. but as you can see, all around me where the damage is still done. my mother's aerial bombardment has been going on mill for months. how are people there dealing with the constant

threat of russian missile attack? well they have no choice but to cope with those that are talking to residents just a few moments ago here and there people are shocked, you know, they're just like trying to get on with day every day. oh, everyday life and all of a sudden they live, it completely changes their houses is distorted. so of course they are resilient, of course they're resist, berty know, leave with the fear of being targeted every single day. and even this morning we had several explosions in care of with windows that are, are, you know, our shots era. you can, you can hear the explosions even from the shelters. or it's scary, even if people are very resilient. you know, they've really bearing the brunt of that war for 11 months, so most now it always men will shop there in the ukrainian couple. keep now to israel, where benjamin netanyahu was returning as prime minister, his new form coalitions being sworn in by parliament. the incoming government is

the most right wing and israel's history and includes several ultra orthodox and ultra nationalist parties. the coalition has bound to expand settlements in the occupied westbank and other disputed areas. it's the 6th government formed, find that and yahoo was still on trial for alleged corruption from barbara. well, benjamin netanyahu is no stranger to israeli politics. he 1st served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999. and again, for 12 years straight from 2009 to 2021. yet his new tenure has critics more concerned than ever. i asked her yeah, that's right terry. i mean, obviously we've seen at bb netanyahu in be the prime minister many times over this . certainly not the 1st, right? when government we've seen in this country, as you rightly point out, it is being seen as of the moist right wing. and that's because all the parties forming the coalition parties that he's had to become a being

a coalition wait in order to form government. now they considered internationalists on the extreme fall, right? they were until recently on the fringes of israeli politics and now front and center and actually have a lot of power. they did really well in the elections that gives them a lot of power in the free coalition agreements that have already been agreed. some of the big ticket items are, of course, that that control of a development in the west bank has been handed to a later policy that he's bound to expand, settlement to push into the west bank. critics pulling that de facto annexation even happen. so these are more extreme policies. we're also saying that policing is going to be given more to one of the leaders of these extreme parties is going to have more direct control over the policing because of the border police here at inside israel. and in the west bank, now these are unprecedented changes and are being considered as far, far more rightly than what the countries say in the past. so the parties represented in the coalition itself are pretty far right,

at least some of them. what else in terms of policy, rebecca, is in the coalition agreement that has chris has critic so concerns other things. yeah. that a really concerning the details when it comes to inside israel is they're hoping to and looking likely to be able to get enough to do so actually take away power and the supreme court. now, supreme court is one of the only checks on the government here in israel, and they're pushing to try and be able to have the elected government override decisions made by the supreme court. that's very concerning. another thing that we've seen in these coalition agreements is that the government promised to look at is introducing at what they call a discrimination. well, that means that anybody would be able to refuse business or a fuse. pretty much anything to anyone on religious grounds. i so the l g b t q i community very concerned about that as well as other people in the community, other minorities are these, these are particularly concerning anna being same, you know, as really,

right wing extreme policies. rebecca, thank you very much. our correspondent rebecca ritter's there in jerusalem, catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. italy has calling on the european union to follow its lead and imposing covered 19 testing on travelers from china. milan airport is testing passengers arriving from beijing and shanghai almost half are infected. other you members say there is no need for new restrictions. indian regulators are investigating a pharmaceutical company whose cough syrup are linked to the deaths of 19 children in whose pakistan officials have some samples for testing. the drug maker marion biotech says it has stopped production of the sort. bangladesh has launched the 1st metro rail service in its capital deco the new network should ease congestion in one of the world's most densely populated, megacities,

benedicts at his residence inside the vatican where he's receiving round the clock care. the former pope has been living there since stepping down as leader of the catholic church. shocked the world in 2013 when he became the 1st pope in centuries to resign. his germany on pontiff later chose to be called merits as well. with me now is religious bears correspondent martin? god question. what exactly do we know about the former pope's condition? we don't know a lot. we have received a medical brief which was issued by the vatican's bris office yesterday evening in which the situation seems to be more or less stable. there has been no development, but the fact is that the condition of both the marriages has been deteriorating for a couple of months now and their reporting and tell him media this morning mentioned that in fact was not able to tell her had he has not been able to talk in quite a while. he's accompanied by gaines, by whiskey,

so assistant and he's accompanied by former people, but he and that we don't really know what his condition is for nearly a decade now we've had this very unusual situation of a current pope and a former pope. the living at the vatican. what sort of relationship to these, to the relation seems to be quite, quite warm and quite friendly. anything that francis has gotten out of his way to sort of show in public and show himself in public sort of next to benedict. and i think that the attempt has been really to, to make it explicit, make explicit the fact that although benedict no longer holds the official authority within this edition of the vatican, he still has the moral and religious light. let's say that can guide the flock. so in a sense where it is very interesting about the, among many things is the fact that he has set a precedent. so many of the discussion said we're hearing no really quite loud discussions about the potential, you know, resignation of frances, which he,

himself has his god would have been absolutely unthinkable educated go if they are actually being had. and now we think about the policy as essentially a form of administrative office from which somebody can actually sort of step back is precisely because, you know, benedict said the trend hook benedict, the 16th became the 1st pope in many centuries to resign a reminder spot. his papacy was like, yes, this is the 1st pope in 600 years to resign. so that means that it was very, very unusual, but not completely unheard of. obviously the situation was previous enough for that for the perceived that he felt himself forced to actually leave. i think that the things that will continue to augusta shadow on the history of that policy. our 1st and foremost, sexual abuse scandal, which, you know, there are very strong indications that he might involved in covering up at least some part of that. this is what came to light in february of this year. and there

are lots of, it's still pending around the question of how much he knew when what he knew. but i think that also his work on inter religious inter religious relations, particularly with the muslim world, which were, you know, it was a minefield and there were sort of controversial moments, but i think that he was very much committed to those kind of fade. yes, those are things for which i think that purpose he will be remembered and just very, very briefly what's life and like for the former pontiff in recent years, the understanding is that he has spend a lot of his time doing really what he loved most besides the church, which was basically doing academic work, research, reading and, and praying. so i mean, he has lived a life of retirement in quite a bit of comfort within the vatican has kept, you know, kept who his space. but as i said, i mean he has been brought back out by, by friends his or didn't thank you very much. our religious affairs correspondent martin got you're welcome. you're watching dw news from berlin. just remind her of
