american man, is killed in a drive by shooting in the west bank. the latest victim in a search of violence in the region. and turkey president, breadth of type air to one asks for forgiveness for his government. slow responds to with birthplace, disaster and promises to rebuild devastated regions within a year. clocks argentinian football, star dental, messy winds, fif is top male player of the year award for the 7th time. ah, i'm sorry tele, welcome to the program. ukrainian forces are describing the situation in the eastern city of buck mode as extremely tense, as russian troops step up their assault. they say russia is trying to cut ukrainian supply lines to the city,

forced them to surrender or withdraw back moot has become the scene of the longest running battle and rushes year long offensive. the fiercely contested area has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. taking voc loot would be a major win for moscow even though it holds little strategic value. you. and earlier we spoke with nick connelly, our correspondent in key then asked him for more on the fighting with ukraine sounding increasingly urgent about the situation in bachman. so we just heard from one of ukraine's top generals, who said that the russians are basically throwing everything they have at bad mood, including some of their best prepared units that this has been on the caused some time now. but it does seem increasing desperate for ukraine's defenders. or did you buy from what we understand by some fortunate if there's only one remaining route in and out from ukrainian control cherokee up to recently there were 2 and there has been a lot of talk of getting out while it's still possible avoiding being in circles we

understand the u. s. long pressure and key of to get out. they think that basically the kind of cost benefit analysis doesn't work out. the basic ukraine can't do enough damage to russian forces at, you know, reasonable price and cost to itself in terms of mere people in the ground and tech . so there's a sense that this could be the beginning of the end for ukraine, controlled back more for now. that they could be a withdrawal ahead, but it certainly has been, as you mentioned, a very symbolic city, something we've had zalinski talking about time and time again. cit. cooling at a ukrainian fortress. and it would be a blow in terms of kind of public opinion. the symbolism. so what would it mean man, if, if it were indeed to fall to the russians seem to thank god for both sites i think in terms of the actual strategic significance, it's less crucial. this is not those major transport hub. this is not to major ministry of hub. those cities in the door best region are still a couple of dozen kilometers further away and still more firmly in ukrainian control. but certainly it would be something that the criminal be very happy about . indeed, after months of, of defeats losing success on bits of hot give region would be the 1st thing they

could really sell their domestic audience as a success. but i don't think you would really change the course of the war. this is about similar than we've seen time time again. like last summer, when russia spent huge numbers of lives on games is like you said, chance in blue hunt region that russia is all kind of focused on its own domestic opinion. and he has often kind of picked up some period that victories at huge costs to its own force in terms of lives lost. let's talk a little bit about our ukraine's partners and the united states. for example, us treasury secretary, why in key van monday, president biden in the country last week? what should we make of these visits? now? i think this is basically a lot more important people are given a kind of credit for ukraine is bessie, about by some estimates hoff dependent for its budget on foreign money. so this is crucial to keep the country running anteaus about making sanctions work and preventing russia from building new weapons. this is very important but very scarce on detail in terms of things that were announced to public,

but certainly it was waited for for a long time. the key of and looked is you very important terms of allowing you crank, keep fighting the place like but hope and connelly and keith, thank you. in the middle east, there has been more violence in the occupied west bank this time near the city of jericho. and his rarely american man has been killed in his car during a drive by shooting is really forces say that palestinian gunman targeted several vehicles before fleeing the scene. the incident comes a day after 2 israelis were killed by a palestinian in the west bank town of a wire up. israeli settlers responded by attacking palestinian homes and property in the area, killing one palestinian man. our correspondent rebecca readers files this report. and now the stand off on the streets of horror just as we arrive. so does this israeli settler, who gets out of his car to confront a group of palestinians surrounded by the foreign press,

israeli soldiers intervene, hinting the still really high hearing who are away standing at the entrance to the can. you can see that increase military present. this is one of them i thought, redolent trying to get from the settlement of it's out to jerusalem and using it. you can see the cars honking every time a car come through. he threw his provocation. really, it feels like anything could happen. on sunday, a palestinian gunmen shot dead, 2 israeli brothers in this town, which led to a revenge attack by israeli settlers rampaged through the streets, torching cars and houses. one palestinian was shot dead in the violence for others badly injured my loss of shirt. i left the shop to pick up one of my employees and i saw a call 100 settlers setting fire to it. but they burned the container so the warehouses

burnt. the storehouse for electrical appliances and destroyed the house on the back sort of abode, or didn't leave anything because so book has tensions escalate. israel security minister has urged citizen restraint. go to her meal. i want to comment on what happened in john hora, the how long i mean every, i understand the hard feelings for this isn't the way and we can't take the law into our own hands or look him at the whole clara die. instead he said it should be israel's government and security forces who quote, crush the enemy. fresh reports have now emerged from jericho. also in the occupied west bank, a suspected palestinian gunmen shot dead, another israeli, all this turmoil erupting on the heels of an emergency summit in jordan, where his riley and palestinian officials agreed on measures to try to cool things down. but the ongoing violence,

putting any efforts of de escalation on shaky ground and correspondent rebecca readers who filed that report joins us from jerusalem. how did you experience the situation in hora? well, the situation there's sarah, as you can see in that report is nothing short of tense attentions, very high after sunday's attack, following are the shooting of those 2 israeli brothers. and then the palestinian call for event and sorry the, the settler call for vengeance and the going into that town and attacking homes and cars and palestinians on sunday night we've seen we saw an increased military presence in the town. as i mentioned in the paste. it's a, it's a town, it's a thoroughfare that settlers used to get from jerusalem to some of the settlements on the other side. and so that they come into contact with palestinians in the village. there was a lot of provocation while we were there. although the settlers,

as they drove through honking horns and creating provocations and, and more tension. and we saw the palestinians calling back and, and this back and forth now who are at ease, a hot spot. as i said, that thoroughfare towns, so as set low violence, was it like clashes isn't uncommon, but the the extent to what we saw on sunday isn't very common summer saying it's unprecedented. or at least since sir seems from the end of the and father in the early 2, thousands attention very high, but not just there as we were leaving the town the, the reports were coming out about that shooting in jerry kona jericho's not normally considered one of the major hotspots, but you can see these things popping up all across the west bank has tensions flare . so things not looking at feeling certainly like they're going to settle down any time soon. sarah would efforts are being made to reduce the risk of further escalation or, of course, seen all the international calls for. com. i. we've seen even calls from come from

you know, certain israeli politicians, benjamin netanyahu saying don't take matters into your own hands and all the ministers echoing that. but we have seen some ministers from the far right from as security minister. been a to my bent vs party court, you know, condoning the violence in fact supporting it. so you know, tensions are being stoked regardless. and i think, you know, we are saying calls for calm, we saw a couple of weeks ago as tensions were flaring again, a few weeks ago after another raid in the northern west bank. we saw it timed with the u. s. secretary of state here. and he was calling for com, we did see a momentary law intentions, but even given things like the summit that was held in jordan on sunday. and out of that summit they were, they were assurances from the israeli side saying that they would hold settlement expansion at least for a few months to try and calm things ahead of the ramadan. the islamic ramadan holy

month coming up and everyone worried about things borrowing out of control, but it is hard to say with, with, you know, out of that meeting benjamin netanyahu said no, we're not going to hold these settlement expansion. so definitely a lot of tit for tat going on. it's very hard to kind of know where it's going, but it certainly doesn't feel like it's going in the right direction. d. w correspondent rebecca readers. thank you. and here are some other stories making headlines. british prime minister richie suna is in northern ireland to win support for his deal with the e. you over post greg at trade. the windsor framework is designed to ease the flow of goods between britain and northern ireland. snack and european commission president ursula funder line proclaimed a new chapter in e. u. u. k. relations. as they adopted the pact, north korean leader kim jong on has ordered a fundamental transformation of the country's agriculture and laid out speculation

that the country is facing. serious food shortages at st media hasn't reported what the measures will be taken. on monday, kim opened a political conference dedicated to agriculture. supporters of prominent russian opposition figure boris themself. have commemorated the 8th anniversary of his murder. the 55 year old was assassinated at this spot near the kremlin. even though 5 men were convicted in the killing themselves, allies still described the case as a cover turkeys president, wretch of ty, bardon has asked for forgiveness for his government slow response. the area's hardest hit by this month's earthquake. he went on to blame aftershocks and bad weather and rejected claims that the country was not prepared. the anger at the government's crisis management presents a major political challenge for air to one as he seeks reelection and may the

earthquakes 3 weeks ago hit turkey and syria killing more than 50000 people. a spring in yula han who has been in turkey's earthquake had region covering this catastrophe for us. just joining us now from his stumble jojo air to one publicly asked for forgiveness. what do people make of that? turkey is only a few months away from crucial elections. and president edward knows that his political future could inch on how the public perceives his governments response to this disaster. one of the largest the country has ever seen. i should mention that many of the quake hill provinces are actually strongholds of prison ad one. and he is ruling islam, conservative aka p. we have seen many people there in amman yesterday, cheering for the president. so i assume that him asking for forgiveness was

a festival, a message to his voter base because elsewhere here in the country ahead of important matches have been shouting from the tribune's, calling for the government to resign over an ineffective disaster response. and an overall lack of earthquake preparedness. i spoke with eastern bal residence and asked them for their opinions of how the government's been handling this crisis. many of them have been quite critical. let's listen to what they had to say. would you murder the government? got buried under the rubble. the people had to save themselves. the government only arrived after 3 days. or should we drive them to the dealer? yeah, now they're detaining contractors, but just to appease people's anger, to mislead them. but who did those contractors get the permission from getting another from the government? we can macdonald until the very sad about us. one man will doesn't work. we want everyone to see it. let her be elections. the system needs to change as soon as

possible. we don't know anything right now. i think the government doesn't know either. nobody knows what's going to happen. just a few years there earlier on the streets. how could air one's handling of this crisis now play out and elections is very difficult to say at this point. because actually we don't know for sure when the elections are going to take place before the quake ad one had announced that he ones an early vote in mid may. but now it's unclear whether that plan is still valid, whether elections can technically be held and the earthquake hid provinces, whether they can be organized a very importantly also the opposition has not yet put forward a candidate. so we don't know who is going to run against president edwin, who has been in power of for more than 20 years now. but what i can tell you is that the effects of this catastrophe have rippled through the entire country here

in istanbul right now, there is a great sense of depression, anxiety, anger, even because many people have either lost loved ones. in the quake zone, they have been trying to join the relief efforts there, and others are simply afraid of another big quake hitting this city. because scientists have been warning for decades. that is, symbol is also at risk. now add to that all the question marks and insecurities of the country's political future. it is actually a lot people here have to deal with right now. we heard it there in the sound bites that we just heard. the blame for a lot of these deaths appears to live with sloppy construction work as well. the president, promising to rebuild more than $230000.00 homes and the next year is that promise credible will many year agree that it would be extremely risky to rush into large scale reconstruction efforts. while the quakes and the aftershocks in the region still continue. and if you look at the figures,

this is just an estimate or by the world bank. $34000000000.00 us dollars and property damage have been caused by the quakes. and that figure doesn't even include the damage that's been caused to the already ailing tax economy or the costs for reconstruction. and then of course, building codes, building safer homes is going to be more costly. of course, these building codes, they do it this year in turkey. the problem was really about the implementation and the oversight in recent decades. and if you let me quote the president one more time, that's something he said yesterday he asked for one year to heal. most of the wounds of the earthquake, but it's of course one thing to rebuild houses, but people there in the quick hit region have lost a so much more than the roofs over their heads. we've seen the grief, the despair they have lost their loved ones. their homes, their memories, their jobs, and these are of course things that can just be easily rebuilds or reconstructed and brought back eulley hahn in his tumble. thank you.
