scale invasion, it's a show support for you. kindness forces prepare a counter offensive soto pay his respects to full and ukrainian soldiers and review damage russian military equipment on display in cape central, michael square. the secretary general has been instrumental in nato support of ukraine, which sees its future as part of the military alliance, announced a bid for fast track membership. last september a corresponded mateus pudding told us what more he could find out about this visit. yeah, the see the visits seems to have been kept quite secret. so this morning, photos of him visiting a site where a soldiers fall in the war are commemorated, have appeared on social media and on the media. um, usually these kind of visits are not unknowns, but often we hear rumors before this was not the case or this is obviously
1:06 pm
a high level security visit. nato is an important partner for ukraine. nato countries provide many of the veterans sector. ukraine is receiving from the west right now, and it's so quite important the support is quite important in this war. moreover, ukraine wants to become a member of nato. it has filed, i filed for membership. and i, that's why thornburg, who is here for the 1st time since the beginning of the war is of course, a very important interlocutor to ukraine. as the war continues, people in some parts of ukraine are already going to rebuild or russian troops have destroyed that one of the biggest issues facing them is the threat posed by land might. ukraine's military estimates that a 3rd of the country is contaminated by anti personnel and anti vehicle mines,
1:07 pm
as well as unexploded or abandoned munitions. experts able take years to clear such a vast area is especially affects agricultural workers. ukraine was once one of the world's bread baskets, but now much of its fertile land is too dangerous to be fact. did. oh, he is max sander far. this report from the formerly occupied territories of hack, if fully human should be dusting of tractors in sewing equipment, but he's got nothing left to work with. the russians were here and when they departed, they took everything with them both. do you still go this way michel, what it will be better to do. we will call the club 0 dollars. so we'll go over
1:08 pm
with that. a little of billy for all 3 of the live more who necessity alicia 30 people working here before the war. but since then, his business lost half a 1000000 euros for a small company that's devastating. it was a relief when the russians withdrew from the harkey region hearing. but they left a threat to the future, buried in the ground. what did they say? 5 or more period sub voice. i need to mean, you know, if you will see if you still know what the decry you, most of the harder with the ground on it should be plowing and planting is too dangerous to move heavy equipment on. i mean for that simple to done what was all over now? we still for which to mob, which was it came soon putting is all the hockey region is considered
1:09 pm
100 percent contaminated by mines and unexploded ordnance. it's easy to find stuff, visit the tail of a missile. it contains the engine, if a russian smash, who knows what's in the ground? no farming will take place on this soil until the place has been cleared by a professional de mining team. and this is the situation for thousands of farmers in many parts of ukraine. at the beginning of the season. we are about to learn that some people are willing to take their chances. yuri drove his tractor over a mine. he is lucky to be alive as suitable to abuse with both though that not a monumental shit would have over the like some young this night or the gardener. but on, as it is nick mallos,
1:10 pm
gorky was well known blood v as in just not in my life though fairly then will and there with hello loser. despite the danger, he says he will continue to work. and as he shows us to his own demining, these are just a few of the things he found on the field. they f, l, e, f, barrow and thumb t. someone who's from the figures logo got a new unit, barely in, in, in, in buffalo, near the 4th or 5th. beautiful south in fields across the region. demining teams like this from the halo trust are doing what they can to prevent this from happening. they're finding many different dangerous auntie personnel minds with pressure plates on there was an o mind bonding fragmentation ah minds grenades on trip wires. and we are finding all sorts of a cluster munition used any grain on the vehicle lines in plastic and metal cases.
1:11 pm
they estimate that 30 to 40 percent of ukraine needs to be checked before being declared safe. we have people that not being able to walk on their own land on their own yards, co for picnic or walk freely because of the minds. in the other hand, they can't cultivate their land. and which is like the most cases, the 1st source of income for the family. all those scenarios can be in for structure areas that are again contaminated just in ukraine. we are seeing the number of accidents increasing. no matter how long the war lasts. the danger of mines will last much longer. farmer all ask european has been waiting for help, but is now seriously considering trying to clear his fields himself. if he can't get the season started, he says people will leave and never come back. michael newton is
1:12 pm
a ukraine expert at the halo trust a charity that helps countries recover after war. he joins us from souls very. what impact have led mines had on the civilian population of ukraine since this full scale war broke out? thanks so much for having me on the, the impact of, of land mines. i think despite the scale of the contamination, which is the largest in europe since world war 2, i think the scale of that and even the impact has yet to be fully realized, needs to remember that this war is still ongoing. and as we heard from the last couple of couple of reports, we know that you create in g d p is done by 25 percent agricultural system by 30. this isn't just a, a localized regional problem. one crane is having a global impact. and unfortunately, bombers like the ones we heard from, i haven't a very difficult choice. it's either go out, compare their fields and risk it out and risk their lives to live hood make
1:13 pm
a living or don't, and potentially lose that likelihood. and, and i've seen from, from very personal experience around that around, you know, them, crane and we're seeing this will labor that the, the difficult choice that the farmers are having it's, it, it is taking a coin toss. so what, what, how many, how many truck directs i've seen, but what needs to be done to make ukrainian soil safe again? so 1st and foremost, what needs to be done is a systematic, wide scale process, the stumps to the extent of the contamination that we've heard as much of 40 percent of ukraine is contaminated. and that's, i wouldn't say that 40 percent is contaminated, say that 40 percent or up to 40 percent of the crane has been exposed to conflicts . but what's important is to identify where that contamination really is to process of widespread mapping. we already have,
1:14 pm
we already have several 100 people that are going to go several 100 people in crane . going to grow that to $1200.00 by the end of this year. if you can identify, extensive contamination can see where like mine saw. you can equally see whether not with a great degree of ability, and that's the 1st step to opening up agricultural labs, me safely. and can you be more specific as to how long the threat of landmines could exist in ukraine than, than just use? well, give you a to give you an idea, try the full scale invasion last year. we need to remember that this was going to start last year. this was actually, we've been going on for 8 years and 2014 back in 2021. we did a baseline assessment of the contamination in don bass before the invasion, contamination that was going to take us 20 years with those funding. so what we're looking at now what to do with this was still ongoing and it could be quite some
1:15 pm
time. we are looking at a decades this is an a pocket into generational problem. and a huge job. i mean, you just ran through the numbers before. have you got enough help if you got enough people on the ground trying to solve this problem for ukrainians? not right now. no, we, we don't, it's all we need to remember this war is still ongoing. so there is something of a what we will be doing is continued levels of support and we need to look at this . i think this is key. we look at this conflict and it's really the issues posed by landlines in a broader picture of recovery and reconstruction in crane. the numbers that are being talented. we're looking at 411000000000 euros for recovery reconstruction, which up to 40000000000 years, has been marked for the mining and clearing explosive hazards. those are staggering, staggering numbers and the halo trusted was largest human, much humanitarian,
1:16 pm
my tenants, organization, we are the largest and ukraine and we work alongside the printed governments. the that the states mostly serves as boss really needed is a long term commitment to trying to the marketing see this revised area and you had to scale the, the problem there. and the huge task at hand from michael newton from the hitler trust. thank you very much for your analysis and insight today. thank you. let's have a look at some of the other stories making use moscow's bolshoi theater has permanently dropped the ballet about legendary rush and dancer rudolph norway of general director. that'd be when said the move was linked with the government's ban on so called l g b t propaganda area has not been performing at the bomb choice is 2018 because of government restrictions would monitor the son of cambodian leda and sen has been officially promoted to the rank of 4 star general,
1:17 pm
the move is being viewed as another sign of plans for him to succeed his father. i missed the one saying has publicly band or backed rather his son to leave the kingdom in the future. cooper's parliament has re elected president miguel diaz can have for a 2nd 5 year term. the communist party leader won nearly 100 percent of the votes in the national assembly. president diaz cornell has promised to tackle what he called, inefficiencies as the country faces soaring inflation and shortages of food and medicine. fighting between sedans, army and the paramilitary rapid support force shows no sign of ending. after a ceasefire, failed bodies reported to be lining the streets of the capitol. thousands of civilians are fleeing, but the airport is closed and supplies of food, water and medicine are running out. at least 270 people have been killed since violence broke out on saturday. locking up forget
1:18 pm
mohammed is one of many people fleeing heart in taking just a few necessities with him. and i know with the keen, i'm heading for the southern region leader. it's no longer possible to live here that reasoning that there is no bread anymore. no food does a lot, no water. think no gasoline. no shit of love, easy. oh, the sudanese capital and the river nile feels like a ghost time a latest attempt at a cease fire between the army and a power military force has failed as the head of the army and the deputy, the head of the rest, have shared power into johnson's 2021. and signed to deal with political parties in december 2022. it's going to forge a path toward civilian rule. however, they disagree on key issues. and these tensions erupted into fierce clashes on saturday. for the cities, residents,
1:19 pm
the situation is becoming more and more precarious. bread is in short supply in large parts of the capital doctor's report, that many clinics are lacking crucial medical supplies which are being blocked by the warring parties. people can move to hospitals and going to cannot reach people at homes. there is a delay to then really needed adequate medical care and that's hard when we have a little bit of infrastructures. unfortunately, that's even worse for places all of cartoon remaining here isn't an option for many sudanese, but with little hope for a quick end to the fighting. they likely won't be returning home anytime soon. theodore murphy is director of the africa program at the european council on foreign relations. why is it so hard for a see? wanted to hold in susan. sir, dan i think that the political will, isn't there? yes. the, the 2 parties who are fighting the sudanese army and the militia,
1:20 pm
called the r s f, have come to come to blows because there is an unresolved bull, real political conflict between them. i think for the moment they've resolved to resort to force and they're fighting it out. now you've managed various emergency response missions in several countries including sedan. what are you hearing about the humanitarian situation? i simply put, it's terrible. i think one of the major difficulties and the causes of the matcher in crisis is that there is urban warfare going on. so one of the complex parties, one of the warring parties, the r s f as many of its spaces within the city center. the other, the army is using an air force to fight the are so so you have to picture a situation where they're small bases inside a heavily populated urban center be attacked both on ground but also from the air.
1:21 pm
the civilian casualties are unavoidable situation. could this turn into a full scale civil war? sure, it's a question of definition. i mean, in a way, it's already a civil war where having basically 2 armies fighting each other, 2 national army, the one is the official one to the other. the earth is one that's been acting as a kind of parallel army. what we need to worry about now is known as the civil war, but of this conflict drawing in the region. so neighboring countries have an interest in what happens in sudan, and they favor different parties, either the army or the, we're already seeing early signs that they're getting involved in supporting one or the other. so is there a way to politically solve will diplomatically solve this whole situation,
1:22 pm
where there is what the objective needs to be. now, in the 1st instance, is the station hostility to be clear, that's not a political solution. that's just a quieting down a cooling off period. the way to make that work is to get the maximum amount of international pressure on the 2 parties. and you do that by being completely united . means actors all the way ranging from the united states to europe, to the immediate neighbors of sudan can really get on the same page and all the of the same message to the 2 generals that they absolutely have to stop the fighting. that way there's a chance it'll murphy from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much for giving us. you'll take on the fighting there in sudan south korean k pop star moon, been a member of the astro boy band has been found dead aged 25. 2 a co media report that the sing it was found at his home in sol,

1:24 pm
the series of cases that we've seen a reporter on in the media over the past years? yes, i think it is because it is not only about the cape up, but also because the nic. see that is the number one cause of that for young people in korea starting from 2007. and it's mostly the cost caused by the rapid economic growth in south korea, which, which changes the society making. lot of things happened. i like increasing pressure on the young people, especially people in the twenties and thirties. a lot of young people around the world would, would understand that pressure, especially in other countries where the economic situation has developed the way it has in south korea. what's so special though about this pressure put on young people to to perform more, to go well with their careers or education. yeah, it's because like because of the rep i think with boys because of like the rep that
1:25 pm
goes off the economy, which me, which makes the parents also put pressure on the young people to study more d just to be able to get to be better than their parents to go to a good school to get the get the get a good job and a fact from that this also the stigma around the mental illness that makes oh, it's all there. people think that, oh, if you have depression, if you have mental health, it's a sign of witness, which a lot of mixed young people are able to speak to the parents that be unable to speak to the adult or surrounding them. that they have a mental health problem. so say something the government's doing to tackle the situation. oh, i feel like they are doing something, but it's really is still in the development they have. this is i thought hotline of course, to have the psychological support, especially for, for people near good bereaved. and i also educate them, gatekeeper study, educate teachers, social, social workers and volunteer. so they can see if there's like, oh,
1:26 pm
it's like fine of people who have depression around them, but still it's still in a development. and it only only that address the, it only address what is under copper and that, that address. what if interviews like we can say in korea, hi, political therapy is real expensive and not a lot of people can afford it. so it's also worth yeah, it also doesn't help for people. a lot of a can start with just asking the person across from you. how are you? i know that one campaign that's been very successful in australia, for example, which is where i'm from. you can casino in sole, thank you very much for the inside. and the developments on that sad story and we leave you now with australia is 1st total solar eclipse. in, over a decade. western australia witnessed about a minute of complete darkness as the sun and moon lined in an eclipse. that could also be seen in parts of indonesia and east timor. around 20000 star gazes from all
