tank crews. berlin announced on monday that it had also delivered 18 long awaited german leopard to battle tanks to ukraine. and in the countries east buck mood has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance, albeit one of the bloodiest. some criticize the ukrainian leadership for the decision to keep on defending bach mote. but many ukrainian soldiers in the area say they are willing to pay be heavy price for its control. he w, correspond at max xander went to meet some of those fighters. you have to move fast. we're heading for the frontline. the russians are very close to the jones is one of the or the most forward position on this part of the front line. and from here to the other side to where the russian enemies are, it's just,

just roughly about 130 meters. that's the russian swearing back. the soldier behind the machine gun feels the pressure. mercer shows us gun them usa jose, who the enemy is testing them. he says, preparing for something. snipers and mortars posed a constant threat, moving anywhere as dangerous. in the next foxhole, we meet a man with a call sign taxi driver. he joined the army when the war began. william nikolai, he hasn't seen his family for months. yesterday, was his son 6th birthday. i asked him how he copes. sasha rosena, a lewis, t e a g shirt. fish for hebrew, e g. he grad castillo, m. through z bless,

vision of the weekly 30th to push so yet foolish guzman didn't lose. if you start to finish the throws. huh. despite all this, the soldiers here will keep fighting back. moved, not far away, must sand. so just larva tells me you times are you some of the luck with a dead div professional is leaving little he sick brooklyn murderers with him off him. kayla, will you? can we just go from florida should nice dorothy, he should. he would be a computer. nicholas at, at in the willie willie co, who boy knew each a shopper would not really no, but only one in moultrie to the minute. adelcia, reuben murphy finn and for both sides, baltimore remains

a strong symbol. full. yeah, well, the enemy's dying. our morale is high that and if they're stupid enough to sell to russians, victory like capture in the behold in the beginning of florida were trying to capture key for, for days. high ticket was leave stance, hiding stance. and now that trying to sell ma, what you can tell at ward this 2nd almena would look like for real from over here. critics though argue buttonwood is no longer worth the price that ukraine is paying and lives were taken to see what that looks like. we can't say where we are only that the fighting is very close and abandon building now with field hospital. here doctors work round the clock to save lives, their position and the danger zone is crucial wounded or brought you directly from the frontline and stabilized. so they can survive the trip to the hospital. this

man suffered a shrapnel wound to his abdomen surgeon to me throw and his team get to it immediately. half an hour later he stable enough to be moved. the team's here perform up to 80 operations every day. last insurance case, this is nigel, who sends it srp, now, injuries from artillery, and in this place in this position for into a fearful sort of ballads injurious l. so because we're, we're provided in the city and so our, in the me a use of course conflict thought was sold or sensory feel more cases, reasonable mullets injuries, demitra ran a company for clinical testing before the war. now he chooses to be here in a windowless room that smells of wounds and sounds like war. but they're making a difference. he says, and to me,

i'm becoming more professionals and every kinds of stuffs and, oh, what he or she should do in this case. so we agreed to and some owen, protocols for for health and an hours drive away from the trenches, come a tourist station visits from family and here wives and girlfriends return to safety and men head back to the frontline. the price for a bucket is high, but ukraine is willing to pay and max and her her, you saw there in that report, joins us now from key max. what struck you the most speaking with those soldiers on the front line. right sarah. so we try to find answers to the question, how is the fighting on the east in front, affecting those essentially who are holding the line months into the battle for buffalo, it's more than a year and to the full scale invasion of russia into ukraine. and what's,

what struck me rose, what struck me most really is this fighting spirits the marell of those troops. we met there in those foxholes on the front line in these filthy cold trenches. these are men were separated for from their families for months when seen their, their fellow soldiers die and who still keep on pushing. and yet again, this is another example of ukrainian resilience that we have been speaking so much of and see so many examples of over the last year. how do they manage to keep that morale high max? right, so i believe and if you see that your fight and your sacrifices are not in vain, most is definitely helpful. and to give an example of the city of buck motor is still being pounded by the russians, but they reportedly have been focusing some of their attention the further south

down the line to another city of eva. and this will show to the troops and back with the training troops that the russians have not been able to push through. and this will most likely have given them a boost of morality. and then of course, having good equipment, having good fighting circumstances, having good leadership, definitely helps. and speaking to these guys, asking them for what motivates them. pretty much everybody said, we don't want any inch of territory going to the russians. we don't want any more occupied ukrainian land by the russians to in order to prevent we saw in other parts of the country. remember and liberated hassan, we found out about torture chambers. you remember the pictures from boucher bodies of murdered civilians lined up in the road. so this is actually what they're fighting from what they want to prevent and this is what keeps them going. patting had their families at the end and you're a poor. he touched on the family visit, how often do they happen? right, so if you go to the frontline city like come a toys, for example, you see

a lot of soldiers coming in and going out up until the end of last year, pretty much this. it was almost impossible for frontline soldiers to go home the, the training parliament, the rata passed a law at the beginning of december. pretty much thing at the framework that soldiers now can go home for up to 10 days at once, to visit their family to relax. little bit, spend time with their loved ones, and then return to the front line. but in practice, this doesn't happen very often. the fight, as we spoke to, many of them haven't seen their family since the beginning of the war. they have to essentially wait until their commander let them go until it's their turn. so it's, it's pretty lonely at the front and they have to rely pretty much on phone calls and on their peers, their max ending. he thank you and harrison that i started making headlines around the world. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has postponed plans to overhaul the judicial system for several weeks. he said that the delay will allow time to reach

a compromise with opposition groups. the announcement follows months of protest which caused massive civil disruption. shutting down much of the country. hundreds of thousands of people are said to join another day of protest and strikes in france. nearly 2 weeks after president emanuel my crown rammed his pension reforms to parliament, public fury shows no sign of abating. my crown has refused to budge on the deeply unpopular pension. h changes north korean leader kim jong and has urged officials to ramp up production of weapons, grade nuclear material. his call came as he inspected new, smaller nuclear warheads at the countries nuclear weapons institute. for young gang has carried out a spate of weapons test this month and been joined us at south korean military drills. 3 children and 3 adults have been killed in a school shooting in the u. s. city of nashville. a suitor entered the private

christian school carrying to assault style weapons and a pistol. authority say the 28 year old suspect was killed at the scene by police ferry and people who were forced from their homes by a 12 year civil war say that they have been forgotten. northwestern syria remains the focus of a power struggle between various factions of the syrian army with rights groups. charging that aid has been politicized. the refugee is plight was compounded by the earthquake 7 weeks ago with n g o. struggling to keep up with the sheer number of people in need warned by the 1st sunbeams, the toddler, families having breakfast and destined pl shelter, less olives, some fled bread and tea. they don't have money for more, but at least they're not starving, says the father kazi talib. once they were afraid of bonds than earthquake after

shocks. now it's illness. a kid that says lan and i'm afraid of cholera and other diseases over. if we ask for medicine here and the campus of the always tell us, see that there isn't any mother. yeah. that through google like minded. oh, they live in the watson camp, north of it, lip and the right the years ago, fleeing from the war like 15000 others after the earthquake, more homeless people arrived at the already overcrowded shelter. the biggest hazard here is the water. the earthquake destroyed pipes, water works, and sewage treatment plans where they're still access to water. it's often contaminated. there's an estimated $50000.00 cases of cholera in the region. the silver lining vaccine doses have arrived recently and volunteers distribute them in the camp. loyally top level monthly shackle are those nation program cannot cover the whole region. for now,

we picked the most affected areas with 8 organizations are committed to separate ground water and sewage water, but that's hardly possible at the missouri a surface. international aid is arriving daily by a turkey in the north west. of the foreign aid is not enough to cover every one of us in the region, militias are still fighting for influence turkish allies as well as islamist groups . serious president, a thought has no power here, and there is no help from damascus. nothing is entering northwest syria, and this is mainly because a sham is refusing to allow that aid. and they're afraid that mashanda said we'll continue to weaponized that aid in the future. power games, says kazi talib, once more, he feels left behind the head that if not one class, no one comes to see us, no politician, and no one from abroad diamond to what?

weeks after the devastating earthquakes, the humanitarian crisis in syria's north west is far from ova. and a reminder now of the top, sorry that we have been following for you here on the w news. ukrainian defense minister alaska resident off as welcome to the delivery of the 1st british delivered challenger to battle tanks. london has pledged to send 14 challenges to keep berlin announced on monday that it had also delivered 18 long awaited german leopard to text up next to my folly cake. ferguson takes it. the business needs to stay around with us. if you can for that, i'm thera, kelly and berlin, thanks for watching. ah,
