2:03 pm
a large number of our people have died. during this time, peter had the lawyer material had the officials also visited the scene of the stampede where investigators already looking into the causes of the tragedy. some eye witness reports indicate that the crowd may have panicked due to gunfire. it's yet another bitter blow for yemenis, already suffering from more than 8 years of war and a devastating humanitarian crisis. as the war, ukraine continues, people in some parts of the country are already working to rebuild what russian troops have destroyed. but one of the biggest issues facing them is the threat posed by landmines. ukraine's military estimates that a 3rd of the country is contaminated by anti personnel and anti vehicle mines, as well as unexploded or abandoned munitions. experts able take years to clear such a balanced area. this particularly affects agricultural workers. ukraine was once
2:04 pm
one of the world's great baskets, but now much of its foot, our land is too dangerous to be farmed. d w max sander filed this report from the formerly occupied territories of ha, if all the huron should be dusting of tractors and sewing equipment, but he's got nothing left to work with. the russians were here and when they departed, they took everything with them. all do you put in a glue to co ops? are the 3 micheler which would be a good move. where will clubs, europe, $1000000000.00 will talk with the hood. beware, coral was for you. with that a little of boiler for all will. with 3 of the live more who nauseous li alicia,
2:05 pm
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 here, but they left a threat to the future, buried in the ground. well, what if anything was easy? a boiler fire for more fear savoy. i knew so many or, well, if you will be cut off more, you see, i still know what the, the crown you are more than the top of the harder with the ground. aleck shall be plowing and planting is too dangerous to move heavy equipment on. i mean for that simple to don courtney law was wrong, one always told for which up to mob which it was. it came through appraisal. the hockey region is considered 100 percent contaminated by mines and unexploded
2:06 pm
ordnance. it's easy to find stuff. this is the tail of a missile. it contains the engine of a russian smash. who knows what's in the ground? no, for me 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. yodi drove his tractor over a mine. he is lucky to be alive as suitable to the abuses though that not on my land bullshit would have over there like some young this night at the guard wanna brianna as it is nick mallos quote. he was well known blood v as in just not a my lie, but only then google and there with hello loser. despite the danger,
2:07 pm
he says he will continue to work. and as he shows us to his own de mining, these are just a few of the things he found on the field. yes. and then we f barrow county out someone who's from the figure logo got a new unit, barely in the, in the bus lead me at the thought process for you to look 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 personal minds with pressure blades on the person. oh, mind bonding fragmentation, ah, mines grenades on trip wires. and we are finding all sorts of a cluster minish and used in ukraine on the vehicle winds. in plastic and metal cases. they estimate that 30 to 40 percent of ukraine needs to be checked before
2:08 pm
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 mines in the other. handly conte cultivate their land and which is like the most cases the 1st the source of income for the family. although scenarios can be infer 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 minds will last much longer. former, all the human 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. i spoke to michael newton, a you quite expert at the halo trust a charity that helps countries recover from military conflicts. i asked him,
2:09 pm
what impact land mines have had on the civilian population of ukraine since war broke out on 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 for me to, to remember that this was still ongoing. and as we heard from the last couple of couple of reports, we know that ukrainian 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, farmers like the ones we heard from, like a very difficult choice. it's either go out, compare the fields and risk it out and, and risk their lives to livelihood make a living. or don't an potentially lose that lot better than. and i've seen from, from very personal experience around that around, you know, the new crane and we're seeing this will over that being the difficult choice that
2:10 pm
the farmers are having. it's, it, it is taking a coin toss. so i wonder what was coming, how many, how many truck trex 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 the crane 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 conflict. but what's important is to identify where that contamination really is to process of widespread mapping. we already have we already have several 100 people that are going to go several 100 people in crane. going to throw that to $1200.00 by the end of this year. if you can identify, extensive contamination can see where landline saw. you can equally see whether nulls with
2:11 pm
a great degree of ability. and that's the 1st step to opening up. agricultural labs, me safely option. and can you be more specific as to how long this threat of landmines could exist in ukraine than, than just use? well, give you a to give you an idea, try with full scale invasion last year. we need to remember that this was going to start last year. this was actually 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 time. we are looking at a decades. this is an polco intergenerational problem and a huge job. i mean, you just ran through the numbers before. have you got enough help if you got enough
2:12 pm
people on the ground trying to solve this problem for ukrainians? no right now. no, we, we don't, it's all we need to remember this for is, is still ongoing. so there is something of a what we, what we do need is continued levels of support. i mean, to look at this, i think this is key. we to look at this conference and the, the, the issues posed or law in the broader picture of recovery and reconstruction. increasing the numbers that are being talented. we're looking at 411000000000 euros for recovery reconstruction, which up to 40000000000 years, has been a marked 40 minute clearing, explosive hazards. those are staggering, staggering numbers and the halo trust, as well as largest human in much humanitarian, my cancer concession. we are the largest and ukraine, and we work alongside the print government, the that the states most services force really needed is a long term commitment to ukraine. 2 d my. to see this regards to the reason you had the scale of the,
2:13 pm
the problem there. and the huge task at hand from michael newton. neither trust. thank you very much for your analysis and insight today. thank you. ross is foreign minister, so gay ladbroke is touring latin america to strengthen alliances as moscow wages it's war in ukraine. roster is being sanctioned and isolated by the us and to you over its invasion and is looking to count a western influence. lever offs. multinational tour includes visits to brazil and whaler, a corolla and cuba rushes. foreign minister sergey elaborate on a diplomatic push in latin america. he met with nicaragua as president, danielle ortega, a vocal supporter of moscow's invasion of ukraine, russia in nicaragua, our t allies and our both under western imposed sanctions. live rav touted a multi polar world order,
2:14 pm
and denounced the west sphere of influence. so the most global as you up with you would sort of its attempts by the west to establish agony, to dictate, to every one. and every thing anywhere in the world can be seen in what is happening around ukraine now. and did nato's claim of having the role of a global security guarantor, including in the asia pacific and a number of other regions around the world syllable to do the review at a unit from you? in venezuela, laffer of hel, talks with president nicholas maduro. another leader looking to counter the west plans to expand energy investment and trade agreements were announced with this machine, we have a very rich agenda with venezuela ford. many practical projects are being implemented. we discussed this in detail today and told you about it issues. mazunicm, and this corporation actually contributes to strengthening the foundations of an
2:15 pm
independent national economy, not dependent on whims and blackmail. my western colleagues. systems in michigan flat, rob stress that both nations are committed to implementing the united nations charters . principles of sovereign equality and non interference in world affairs. after his tour, leverett will head to new york to chair a un security council meeting. and i'm turned life by and less her vice president of the german marshall funded public policy. think tank. let me cut straight to the chase. what can russia offer potential allies in latin america or elsewhere to gain their support? well, in some cases, these are very old relationships with all the countries who visiting in fact, brazil is in a somewhat different category. but if you think about cuba, venezuela, nicaragua, but these are countries that have many case has been essentially client states of
2:16 pm
the former soviet union and russia at points as well. venezuela cuba, under sanctions, in nicaragua, all of these countries in the difficult financial position and politically isolated . so in a sense, as the conversation between to sanction the isolated sets of countries talking to each other. russia on the one hand and countries in latin america on the other. i think, you know, there are some practical things that russia can offer. and he spoke about some of these in terms of investment. but above all, i think russia sees it as a public relations opportunity with more fertile ground than you would find elsewhere. and so would you say russia is not that isolated or, or as isolated as the us or you may want us to think well, i think, globally, russia is still very isolated in important ways. but to take the example of the visit from brazil, there is on the one hand, i think,
2:17 pm
very little sympathy in places like brazil or elsewhere in the global south, on moral or legal grounds for what russia has done or ukraine. but when it comes to the bigger picture of world order rushes placed in it, the singles from china, there's a broader conversation and there countries like brazil and united states and europe are not always on the same page. there's also some very practical aspects to this. russia has a very large export market for its realizes in brazil wants to preserve that. why do people elsewhere in the world not care so much about what's going on in ukraine, in comparison to say, europeans or other, other democracies around the world? leaving aside some of these countries like cuba, nicaragua, as well as have a historic relationship with russia for a country like brazil, very significant actor and aspires to a larger role on the world stage. there's a sense that this is something far away. this is a,
2:18 pm
an animating security problem in europe, but please don't bring it to us here. far away and latin america. we agree with you on some aspects you the west on some aspects, to condemn what russia is done. but don't ask us to put our own economic and political interested stake either and is a desire to essentially hold this at arm's length. and that's true for brazil, but it's true for many places in the global so. but even at the end of the day, will russia be able to change with pruitt's relations with countries in south america? say like on this tour that it's on? will it be able to change the course of the war in ukraine through these sorts of talks in relationships? i don't think so. i think russia is simply trying to salvage something here in a place, a part of the world where their narrative has a bit more residence. and there are, of course, some practical sakes for russia to, they're trying to avoid as many sanctions as they can. and there are opportunities to do that in places like latin america. but even if you look at some of the
2:19 pm
countries major countries in latin america, no, he's not going to some of the very big ones that have enormously important economic and political ties largely with the north in the west. for even for brazil or russia, it's very small part of their trade around the world and their investment. it's dwarfed by the relationship with europe in the united states. and of course china guides have you on the showy and laser from the german marshall fund in brussels. good to be with you. and let's have a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. nato secretary general insult book has made his 1st visit to ukraine since russia's full scale invasion in a show of support. as ukraine prepared, a counter offensive. salt vogue paid his respects to fallen. ukrainian soldiers and review damaged russian military equipment in keeps michael square. in paris, hundreds of protesters entered the offices of stock market operate
2:20 pm
a euro next to demand that big companies help finance pensions. the move was part of why to protests against frances raising of the retirement age. by 2 years to 64, which french president a memo mccoy signed into law at the weekend. fighting continues between sedans, army and the paramilitary rapid support force. after a cease fire failed, bodies reported to be lining the streets of the capitol. thousands of civilians are fleeing. the airport is closed supplies of food, water and medicine are running out. at least 270 people have been killed since violence broke out on saturday. locking up frigate hamilton 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 is eda,
2:21 pm
it's no longer possible to live here. that reasoning that there's no bread anymore . no food, healthy milk? no water, think no gasoline. now can i sit up loving z o this sydney's capital on the river nile? feels like a ghost time. a latest attempt at a ceasefire between the army and a paramilitary force has failed with the head of the army and his deputy, the head of the r s. f. have shared power in sudan since 2021, and signed to deal with political parties of december 2020, to go to forge a path towards civilian rural. many of them, however, they disagree on key issues. and these tensions erupted into fierce clashes on saturday. for the city's residence, 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 con,
2:22 pm
move to hospitals and businesses cannot reach people at homes. that 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 our to them 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. seattle murphy is director of the africa program at the european council on foreign relations. i asked why it's so hard for sci fi. it's a holdings today. i think the political will, isn't there? yes. the 2 parties who are fighting the sudanese army and the militia, called the r s f, have come to come to blows because there is an unresolved real political conflict between them. i think for the moment they've resolved to resort to force and they
2:23 pm
are fighting it out. now you've managed various emergency response missions in several countries including sedan. what are you hearing about the humanitarian situation? simply put, it's terrible. i think one of the major difficulties and the causes of humanitarian 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 stuff. so you have to picture a situation where there's small bases inside a heavily populated urban center, the attack on ground, but also from the air. the civilian casualties are unavoidable situation. could this turn into a full scale civil war? sure, it's a, it's a question of definition. i mean,
2:24 pm
in way it's already us of the war where having basically 2 armies fighting each other to national arms. the one is the official one, the other the r f is one that's been acting as a kind of parallel army. what we need to worry about now is not as a 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 are. so 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, where there is what, what the objective needs to be. now, in the 1st instance, is the station hostilities 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
2:25 pm
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 give the same message to the 2 generals that they absolutely have to stop the fighting. that way there's a chance they don't know from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much for giving us. you'll take on the funding there in sudan. thank you. south korean k pop star moon, been a member of the astro boy band has been found dead aged 25 local media reports that the sing it was found at his home and sold where he appears to have taken his own life. his music labels said the other members of astro fellow artists and staff would deeply saddened and shocked. in may, may have been said to perform one of the largest came up concerts in south korea,
