it's on its way people get fed tense, get to put up what then is needed. i want to be done. i mean, the trauma everybody here, what does this catastrophic disaster is? traumatized, so we really need it like a specialized box a here we need school agencies where it's for gap. we need like a lot of food come for you after at craig and this one is not. is it great, thank you so much for joining with you. and deficit. yes, i'm a not getting on to thank you very much. as the ukraine authorities say they have shut down, most of the 6 suspected that russians surveillance balloons detected in the skies over keith. the kremlin hasn't commented on the reports, but russian forces have launched a new round of missile attacks across ukraine. among the targets here is the

country's largest oil refinery, where the extent of damage remains unclear. ukraine's repelled some attacks, but authorities say targets in the north, west, south, east and center of the country have been hit russia. that war has fundamentally altered the perceived threat to security in europe. since the start of since it began, nato has responded to the requests of governments in the baltic states by significantly increasing its presence, latvia, lithuania and estonia all border russia and but one's part of the soviet union. now they're members of nato and the european union. the w sag killian buyer has been to the mary airbase in a stony, to look at nato's air policing mission, which is monitoring the skies for unauthorized russian activity. thermal underwear. a water immersion suit boots, a g suit, a life jacket, and

a helmet. it takes lieutenant colonel christoph hoffmeister just under 2 minutes to put it all on right next door. his euro fighter is refueled and armed with a 27 millimeter cannon, and air to air missiles ready for take off in under 15 minutes. their court, the ones on hall complex, that's a very short time for such a highly complex system. as for ela, pillow, it's no secret that for all pilots, when you're fast asleep, when the alarm goes off that your pulse starts rising, melinda, so that's not the adrenalin kicks in, because you're trying to be ready hates as we completely awake shine, so that you can get your job done at day or at night is and splitting ones off. take about half my studies. the german detachment commander for nato's enhanced air policing mission in estonia, under his command on a mile re air base or for euro fighter jets, their pilots, ground crew and support personnel. a total of around $150.00 soldiers. their

military mission is to protect the air space over the baltic states and to identify unknown and potentially hostile aircraft. just like the other baltic states, estonia has a very small air force and no fighter jets of its own. nato has been providing air support to estonia, latvia and lithuania since 2004. in 2014. after russia illegally annexed crimea, nato started a 2nd air policing mission and amory, where the germans are now stationed. i'm standing here on the estonian coastline and behind me in that direction is the gulf of finland. and this is where nato fighter jets are regularly scramble to, to intercept russian airplane, heading from st. petersburg to coline ground. after take off the jets need as little as 3 minutes to reach international air space and intercept their targets. russian military aircraft regularly fly with their flight transponders turned off

and do not communicate with aircraft controllers on the ground. a potential hazard for civilian air traffic. in this case, the lift buffer euro fighters are tasked to intercept the unknown aircraft and identify them. melissa, so not normal when to fight a jets don't communicate in international airspace i look on. but when you're approaching an act craft that you're not in contact with, and you don't know what the other guy's doing was intentions are and what his flight path is going to. of course you are a bit more tense can as willis, this is alice monta. christoph hoffmeister and his soldiers are well prepared for all possible situations. together with other nato pilots, they secure the air space along the alliance eastern flank, 24 hours a day. all your round or rushes more in ukraine has put the issue of refugees or family back on the german political agenda. most of last year's new arrivals were fleeing countries affected directly by war or the consequences of war

. the overwhelming majority, though, at more than 80 percent, have come from ukraine. refugee number's top to 1200000. that's even more than in what became known as the migration crisis of 201520. 60. all the countries are emergency accommodation centers are all full, which is why politicians and experts have been meeting today in berlin to discuss solutions. although no concrete measures were announced that the countries interior minister, nancy pfizer expects new working groups to develop proposals by april. last at germany, struggles to keep up with that unprecedented number of refugees as some individual communities are coming up with their own solutions to housing. people, the small city of goth law in central, germany's using all the resources it has to make the new arrivals. feel welcome. a taste of home to day jojo esther panko is making ukrainian bush beetroot soup. she

fled from key of to germany and march 2022 with her 2 daughters. since then they've been living in the small city of ghost law. her husband a policeman stayed behind uli as daughter's anya and maria go to local school and kindergarten at 1st the family lived in a hostile room provided by the district but moved to a private apartment just 2 months later left which hath what's in the world at the beginning, it wasn't very important where we lived because the situation was so terrible and she didn't have any expectations over the numbers. all we wanted was safety that we ended up moving here with these great conditions is very cool. not that she is here or more with said, ohio group, just over 2000 ukrainian refugees like julia and her kids have come to the district of goss law since the war began. the local population is about a 130000 people. there are many older people here and many apartments have been left empty. the local administration created

a system to match refugees up with the owners of that free accommodation. the district also has several temporary arrival centers for refugees on offer, including a hotel and a hostile and me as for silly mister mill, if i imagine that i had to live for several months in a sports hall with lots of people, i don't know was conflict put in so of course that kind of thing can create conflict. and of course having people living in apartments across the ghost law district allows us to integrate them better in. mm hm. and then we also have a lot of volunteers and villages and cities who else these people in stockton dimensions as i understand, you know, like in this former casino in the city of goslin. now a center for donations around 30 volunteers have been here almost every day to help the refugees with advice and to sort through clothes, furniture, and household objects, all things the ukrainians desperately need when they move into completely empty apartments. the common he he at, if they come here and the 1st thing they say it's,

do you have cutlery, neck blankets? i do have a pillow as well. it's almost unimaginable what that means to really have nothing as high as midnight. hum. the state has now officially stopped assigning ukrainians to the ga sla district, but the local administration is expecting around 700 asylum seekers from other countries to arrive in the coming months. some of the may not be as lucky as eula and her family. the local administration says the stock of empty apartments may run out soon. is august of all stories making headlines around the world will start in france, where thousands of people have marched to denounce the president. emanuel macros, controversial pension reforms. demonstrators held up science and chanted slogans, criticizing the government's proposal, and to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. you zealand has deployed naval vessels of transport plane and helicopters to reach people cut off by cycling

village of east palestine, it became clear from resulting flames that dangerous chemicals were on board. and the fire could lee, too explosion. local authority said they weren't aware of high risk chemicals moving through the tracks before the derailment. ohio's governor issued an immediate order by my you just need to. we were ordering you to leave this as a matter of life and death. hundreds of families evacuated from the community of some 4700 people. we am evacuated pretty quickly. we didn't know what was going on to a hotel in west virginia. yes. or west virginia. yesterday i had to go home to pick up prescriptions from the creek by my house. had a very, very strong chemical smell to it. i went in my house,

it was worse. meanwhile, authorities burned to remain in chemicals to prevent a catastrophic blast. releasing more toxic fumes into the air officials collected samples to gauge the extent of environmental damage. traces of chemicals found in the near by ohio river. thousands of dead fish found in the vicinity. these samples were analyzed overnight with the full support and backing of governor de wine. i am happy to announce that the evacuation order is now limited, but returning residents have their doubts. my son came out, he was like, oh my god, it stinks mom it's, it's not like paint than her. and i'm like now it doesn't. i got out of mount and, and it smelled like really, really strong paint than her. and then his eyes turned like bloodshot and he started coughing and i was like ever leaving at the school jim, the local community is concerned following reports of people suffering from headaches, rashes, and painful coughing, almost 2 weeks on,

still waiting for answers. last correspondence, we had a customer in washington, what residents are being told about the potential dangers to their health. well, they're being told that they should not drink the water. they're supposed to drink bottled water, which many odd hearing to and when it comes to the smell and the quality of the air, they're the environmental environmental protection agency has taken samples. they have analyzed that is accessible on their website. i have looked at the website and with everything that they've tested, they say that the column where it says whether it's a hazard, says no. at the same time, people are clearly smelling that something is wrong and they are seeing in the environment. there was reports of dead fish. there's also reports of chickens that have died. so all of this looks and sounds like almost a disaster movie and,

and what didn't help is that the company, norfolk southern southern who's train derailed and caused this, didn't turn up to a town house meeting here on wednesday. exciting security concerns. not because of the chemicals, but because of what they could potentially face the anger that they could face. so they still many, many open questions and a community of some 5000 people deeply concerned about this. so if this does turn into complex environmental disaster that said it's a j. d van says it is without leave. the railway company are open for to be charge for more than just the physical clean up of the. busy it potentially would, but there's so many open questions also whether the soil has been it hasn't been removed fast enough to contain the toxic chemicals that are there. and we're also seeing from the wording of the statement issued by norfolk southern who were

talking of trying to help the local residents reimbursing residents not compensating or getting into legal territory here. and also setting up a charitable fund of 1000000 to help the local community. already one can see that the company is going into legal defense. know it right in the middle of this disaster where people have only just been given in on the 8th of february, the opportunity to even, to return to their homes. so there's a lingering fear. there's signs of real contamination there. and no clear answers also. and how residence should behave and the governor was asked whether he would be concerned if he lived there how he would react and at that town home. and he said, well, he would drink the only bottled water. he would remain vigilant and alert. but he didn't really have any answers for people, so this is a community that is deeply afraid. and by the look of the i the have a reason to be. thank you. mikaela. mikaela kirkman in washington are here in
