but we begin in ukraine. we're fearing a new russian offensive in the north west of the country. a ukrainian army is expanding its defenses on the bella rouge border somewhere close to the bella rouge and border under the cover of pine trees, ukrainian border guards are reinforcing their positions so she can, she was not in new bedford. these trenches are designed to protect the lives of the people in the military. he as well as to provide defense, i'll put on a d, a bonus appointment of them. so if the enemy attacks from the nearest road, you're sure our infantry will respond. i was just that i'm in the role you let us know that i am would empty quoting. he won't go into detail about their preparations and won't even confirmed that he's trenches are new. that others, but you can smell sawdust and the board seemed dry and clean. in the distance,

we hear trees being felt broadly above it. all their message is russians won't get past them a 2nd time with this bridge used to join ukraine and bela bruce. the defenders blew it up to try to stop the 1st russian advance. now they are looking across the river again. it's places like these that the russians moved through before the settlement south of the border where the fighting was fierce. oh, phil had lives changed forever. alexander lived here with his wife young mother and stepfather. he wants to show us the damage to his property. took me lemeu. the regular citizens were shelled with mortars mimi, the russian artillery was firing at the farm thumb and our tanks fired back at them . not sure what the artillery and tank shells didn't hit our house, but the mortars did, but still the mimi, a wall, came down on his mother and amelia,

deli cold winter nights are especially trying one organization is helping with food and shelter. it's early morning on a frigid day in daily and scores of people have lined up for up up of what d and breakfast will be for most of them, it may be the only decent wheel they'll have to do. this is just one of the locations where the charity viji car data, our elder brother's home and that is called an english is tribute ford, who migrant workers and the homeless brothers coma, ga, and cream g sink, ran the organisation. a large group of volunteers joined them every morning during winter. they also had the destitute in other ways. apart from giving out foot in the gold through the mob. we find that the people they have they don't have you know, warden with molding. she'll read, recollect,

or warm clothing or to use bloating from people, industry, wiggle them, or even get blankets through them. and you estimate the number of homeless in deli, at a 150000. the hard winter season becomes a big challenge for them. the state government also has its own set of measures every year for people without a roof over their head. roger fall is a supervisor at one of the shelter thrown by the daily covenant. he says during winter, it shelters operate at full capacity. offering food and lodging to every one free of cost to pneumonia to room during the winter. the number of people coming to seek shelter shoots up in the state. government puts up temporary tents for them as well as opening facilities. sorry. so i will run over the efforts seem to have lead off . the mozy thing says until a few years ago, many used to die of the gold on the streets. no more people are able to survive. the punishing rhythm sings organization also provides free health care every

morning in the old city area there, many homeless deep warranty as give fuss 8 to those who are injured and a dr. offers free consultations and medication looking for work every day and living on the streets is a challenge for many poor people in the capital. but organizations like these, you gotta make life a bit easier for some of them. it will be back here again tomorrow morning, waiting for a cup of hot tea. in russia, a law has recently come into force that punishes the promotion of same sex relationships and homosexuality. this poses a threat to publishers existence. should this book be banned? and you, russian law says yes,

if it depicts same sex relationships positively introduced a month ago. this law criminalizes the positive portrayal of non hetero normative relationships. in advertising films, books and the media, the new legislation is creating unrest amongst publishers, film, distribute as an authors. this library in moscow has already been told to pull quite a few books from it shelves. dockwood, it's your with authentic veronica in our electric catalogue. there are now books with the entry, borrowing is no longer permitted. what if it's unclear why these particular books were selected? in principal albred's. last december, the duma, the russian parliament voted to toughen it's so called gay propaganda law. critics complain that the criteria used to decide whether a certain work breaks the law or too vague. however, the target appears to be clear. it's an attack on what ostensibly western values.

that's how the russian human rights activist, ego catch cough sees it inches up and that this is primarily anti western rhetoric . rickies of the assertion is that the west is imposing certain values on us and that something must be done about that was that and the chairman at the state duma has them shop woods for the west. new northern america stop forcing alien values upon us. you've already destroyed your own, who knows where it will end to liquid logan for catch cough. it's no surprise that this legislation has been passed during the russian war on ukraine, which wound his justice. you, the timing's obviously not the authorities want to push through their idea that the country is not fighting against ukraine, but against the west as a whole. the u. s. and the u. they're trying to mobilize citizens and to convince them that they are our enemies, gays and lesbians are repeatedly victims of violence in russia. often they are

discriminated against by the state. there is, for example, a ban on l g b t q symbols, a holding public assemblies under the rainbow banner. while same sex relationships as such, were decriminalized in russia, back in 1993 critic say that the so called gay propaganda law is stoking homophobia in the country. yet as soon as midnight, it sends certain signals and raises the question, how things develop. and this will, these people be sent to penal colonies at some point time or even murdered in for whom it would be wise. the activist eagle catch cough doesn't think that things will get to that point though. but he is certain that the russian government is hell bent on turning back the clock to soviet times. ah, the french bistro deeply rooted in tradition,
