least 19 civilians. keith is widely thought to be preparing a counter offensive and the war commanders hope new weapons delivered by western allies will help pushback russian forces. one of the cities targeted in the latest strikes was oman, south of keefe. 6 they're still in shock. after russian missiles destroyed their homes in the early hours of them, at 1st all the glass flew out. everything flew out even the chandelier fell. everything was covered in glass and then there was an explosion and the cars started exploding. we quickly found our things and ran out, and then every one started arriving. several buildings were hit, one completely destroyed. you emotional bully with, we had the sound of a plane taking off. oh, what? 10 minutes later there was an explosion of very, very early. at 1st i was confused as to hang on that. and then there was

a 2nd explosion hit a wall in the last glass flew towards us. all of your yet quickly covered myself with a blanket and asked my husband, he was alive or not. but you really got this really the window. we could see that everything was on fire. it's hard to find words to describe it was after that we gather last things and went outside to send it. but a dorothy some of his stomach bug. oh, emergency services managed to rescue several people from the rubble. but the attack left many injured, and at least 10 dead. among them, 2 children, presidency lensky, called the attack a night of terror and condemned to targeting civilians. ukrainian forces, say russia launched 23 missiles under cities of woman on nipper, were a woman and her child died. and in the key of region where an apartment was

hit, ukraine says it intercepted all but 2 of the missiles to russian drones are reportedly also taken down. the attacks were the latest in a series by russia in recent days. meanwhile, ukrainian forces are wrapping up preparations for a spring counter offensive. i'll correspondence next. connelly is in key if and i asked him about the state of ukraine's air defense systems. right now. we certainly are in a much better state than they were at the beginning of this war. but i think the reality is, this is a vast country. it really is more than 1500 kilometers from east to west and 100 kilometers at from north to south. there is never gonna be enough equipment to really keep everything safe. and even if you do have the equipment, there's the question of the munitions to make these kinds of systems work. they are in very short supply and the capacity in western countries to produce more is really limited to hit on time again, ukrainian officers talking about their frustrations of those having to basically watch russian missiles fly by because they just need to hold on to their stock so

this is a really serious issue. i think the other interesting question is where the rush actually has enough missiles and dad seemed that russia was running out of these missiles that they were having to take missiles of the production line directed to the front lines. there was no stocks left, but it does seem like now up to 50 days or so over pause that russia once again has enough missiles to really make ukrainians basic be, be afraid of return the hill. it's r a. nick, let's talk about the timing of his russian missile attacks. any idea why they are being launched now? is it just what you just mentioned to some of it could be just the fact they have these missiles, but there is also suspicion that this is part of a big campaign to really cause panic amongst ordinary ukrainians to really get those people who have been sleeping their beds and who i am now realize quite how vulnerable they are. once again to put pressure on the government to come to the negotiating table to come some kind of truce on rushes terms that successfully rushes pushing for maybe with the help of chinese mediation. but i think it's

fairly counterproductive. i think these things make people far away from the philosophy kind. remember that this war is still very much going on. it increases support for the government inside the country and internationally. it makes russia look really, really bad. just as soon as it seemed like the attention was basically falling away from this conflict and the willingness from western countries to supply what can sucrose was dropping. once again, you have stories like this. images like these on the front page is worldwide. and i think this is not really going to be in rushes interest in the long term in terms of them wishing the west to forget about ukraine and allow them to put pressure in ukraine. mic on val, correspondent in keith. thank you very much, nick. now how do russians living in germany feel above the war? the a survey commissioned by the w has revealed an array of opinions. the pull was carried up by the research institute demon and the pulled people who were born in russia or a former soviet republic. or have at least one parent of similar origin strongly

divided over the invasion of ukraine. 14 months into this war, opinions about who is to blame are still split. a poll by deutsch velo reviews that while nearly 40 percent of russian speakers in germany consider russia to blame a similar amount, told ukraine in some way responsible for the war. their spell en suburb is home to many of the russian speaking community. i push the who's to blame. okay. of course russia did russia attack or did ukraine attack in the fall, green grain, ukrainian for lansky? why neither? because they shouldn't stick to the russians and not look to the west. americans to was american, see, who else seems to, and also europeans, germans, every honest to blame it, of course, russia also best to blame, but it clearly started somewhere else. the performer told that he rena schmidt spends her days trying to integrate russian speakers into the community. she says

the findings ring true to her experience. ok of all of those who have relatives or came from russia. date, of course, support the russian side. all those from ukraine or the younger generation, understand this conflict, who has attacked and who is defending? that's why there is this divide. asked about their opinion of russian president vladimir putin since the start of the war. a small number of respondents said he had gone up in their estimation while a round, 65 percent said their views of him had changed negatively. mechanically. how do i say putin? i can only see him as an enemy. what else they have destroyed after? chiefly, nancy had a darned if which includes time, russia has risen up before it used to be on its knees. it changed negatively. of course durham has just come to whom russia russians appleton clue to the

politicians who started all of this story. the average russian doesn't need this war yoder city. you more sienna, monique mose night, william schneider. but it seems for as long as there is a war, less is a community that looks unable to reconcile facts and feelings to saddam now are the army and the rival paramilitary rapid support forces have agreed to extend a fragile se truce for another 72 hours but there's been more fighting of the capital cartoon, and other areas. hundreds of people have been killed in the 2 week conflict. huge numbers of civilians are leaving the country. others who are unable to get out are running short of vital supplies. when many countries are evacuating their diplomats and nationals ah, and evacuation flight from saddam to attack. he, the relief at leaving the fighting behind them is clear. and this is what they left

behind. signs of conflict in cartoon, despite many cease fires about the army as fighting this power. military group, the rapids support forces in a deadly power struggle for control of the country, leaving hundreds dead and a trail of destruction. on the street, the distant sounds of gunfire. residents risk leaving their houses to buy food. if there's any left i will down when i places selling flour or clothing. and so there's no supply of flour for bakery as yet. and the available flour will be from the chevy, mckayden, and other bakeries. there are no workers anymore. giddy things are getting worse. she what is available now? won't be there tomorrow, i'm going to the fighting house, disrupted food distribution across sudan and damaged power lines in some areas

around the capitol, leaving people without electricity or water damage in arizona. we're fixing the main power station for some, but city model if you want to pour. so for an oil, there's no water in the hub about and well, the water plan for close love about of the 10s of thousands of people have had to leave that homes with many heading for the border crossing with egypt at my home, my place because of the fighting between keep off the same country against each other. but this has never happened in sudan, and we never had this before. much longer than them. amid the escalating violence, more sudanese people will be making the grim calculation, whether to risk staying or risk leaving. in iran, families are choosing the authorities of failing to stop

a month long series of poison attacks on school girls. more than 13000 cases of gas poisoning have been registered, amnesty international says the attacks have targeted 300 girls schools. some government, critics believe, the poisonous retaliation for last autumn, se nationwide anti regime demonstrations. but it's not clear who's responsible. iran, supreme leader, ayatollah ali from a ne, has described the poisonous as an unforgivable cry. now, i'm joined from london by a near gain sharah here. she's an iranian british activists and women's rights campaign. and again, thanks for joining us. these poisonings of young girls obviously continuing, how frequent are they still and how wide spread? so this thought to the round of november, the 1st case we've seen what it is over the last year and they continue to grow

since then. we had 2, almost 3 weeks of school holidays toward the end of march. but since school re open, we had them every day in almost every problems in the, in the country. we've seen cases since november and it's quite widespread. are coming schools that had been attacked twice or 3 times. but, but the thing that links most of the, the schools together is that in almost every school that be checked, there are, there have been some sort of disobedience either writing. it's still going to get a bald or bringing down the pictures of the supreme the day or not wearing her job at the very off the list will be the and that's been happening on databases now in the country that happens in the schools as well. so we know the supreme, the day before the from months ago said that the school goes, needs to be punished. med into punishment shouldn't be harsh,

but they should be punished for the so be the and i don't want to be exhausted. that's the 30th of november and he's called these attacks. so who is behind these poisonings? then always quite difficult to say go more than 100 people has been arrested by the government claiming they had some sort of hand in that tax. couple of them, the journalist reported on that type of, you know, one case of the door to get to the school after the talk to the court and fill med spend it outside and they've been attacked good as well. we haven't seen any judgment on the, on the cases, but also some official mentioned that part of the people who were doing that were clues. and i'll always of the government. and they've been guided and they're not going to repeat that sort of language, which,

which is the pattern that we've seen from de leon, that they don't claim the responsibility. and only when they're doing something to dampen the protest or something like that in iran would be so be d as they created quite a distance between themselves and the actual people who are, you know, taking the orders and i'm doing good. so it gives them a kind of ability and that's the same case park. when you look at the patterns of the tax, you know, the pattern of behavior by there is probably the republic. it's not profits to say it comes somehow into the government. and you also know all of the schools have ccp cameras and it's more than you know, how many months it's like more than 5 months. we haven't seen any footage supporting the claims that the government says that they've been, you know, or orchestrated by the foreigners. but at the same time we see a lot of it happening while you're using cctv cameras under 3 eyes. the woman who

are not reading of a there monday to the job he said, really complicated like how can you know that? how is it possible that you don't know who's behind is attacks and they get iran supreme be coming? he has condemned the poison and call for the perpetrators we track down number. normally his word is literally the law in iran, but still no one has been charged with these crimes. so you do have the sense that the regimes is more than just tolerating these poisonings. oh yeah. so the common use a speech is usually something like he would say he would order something like, you know, the school goes to be punished. there are some cronies that will go off that. and then usually, and this is the pattern of immensity, usually after a while, when, when it is, you know, a lot of people in the country go against it and say like, this shouldn't happen. he would come out and say something. yeah, this, this shouldn't stop. but actually stop,

it completely depends on what he actually thinks and what the orders on the ground to support it. so it doesn't that they can time. it doesn't necessarily they would obey or not very briefly face is it, is this campaign to intimidate girls? is it working? no, and that's the beauty of it, because even now, like you know, every day the school girls going to school without reading the monday to her job, the know that they've been disobedient to the school continue as well. as on the street, we noticed family members a mom and dad, a god based schools, some of the schools now but, but yeah, it feels like there was a time that people are scared and thinking about not sending this that goes to their schools. but there was a kind of come conscious of all around the country that they should go and they should resist and continue the resistance. they can sure, i thank you very much for the input time now to have

a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world authorities in indonesia say, 11 people died when a boat capsized and among the victims are several children. search rescue teams are still looking for passengers voting accidents are common in the re our islands chain due to lack safety standards. proposal pope frances has warned against rising nationalism in europe. the head of the catholic church is making his 1st official trip to hungary speaking to government leaders. in budapest, he said, accepting migrants across the continent would be a christian virtue. classes also urged rejection of what he called self referential forms of populism only got one. australia's oldest coal fired power station has been shut down. the 50 year old la dell plant supplied

with talent and youth prospects. after a tough run in the 3rd division lives ish needed, something more on your mit tag. joined the club in 2019. the former germany international who has won almost every trophy football has to offer, began as a player coach law, the chief promotion that same year now play the chief promotion to the boot maslanka. their success, combined with a fairy tale run in the german cub, has ignited the interest of fans in the region. while their men side is fiercely criticized. the response to the women's side is largely supportive. that's mostly due to differences in fan culture and the financial reality of the women's game were more investment is needed and therefore seem positively. women only clubs have struggled to survive and clubs back by men sides are more sustainable and overall good for the growth and development of women's football. and we'll see how life's a share in the boonies we've got. and if they continue the sam trajectory,

as the men who now compete for titles will depend on how much the club decide to invest in women's football. in the boonies, legal match ups will be more high profile and could lead to increased criticism about the club. but for our b live fish at the moment, all thoughts about the future, i focus solely on the pitch. one, come earlier we spoke to former german international and count our beloved city assistant coach on the mid talk about the clubs rise. we also, if the connection to the men's team was help or hindrance and why the women's teams seems to be less disliked. if you heard a name or be like we can, you know, and them in the men's team. the name stands for success in the way and so i think there's a lot of hope that ok now to women's team, maybe a sheaf the same or have a have a big name. and a big name means maybe some money and maybe it's not like, ok, you go up and down again. so they also going to be some oh and honest english

were but yeah, to, to keep us in the league and it's not like we're going to grow like slowly if not like that, we're going to, you're going to play tendencies next season or anything like that. because we want to build it so. but yeah, i think it's more like that. we feel like other teams say, hey congress, i would like to get you made it to the once you get, we happy and we have a good team now need to make it more competitive and there are things like that's i think that's could be one of the reasons until the mens of bonus the got now where we have the most exciting title rise in his in fact, the 5 weeks ago. this is the latest in the season that by a munich have not been the leaders since 2012 dockman top. the table on can go for points clear to night with a win and both of them. the scenes from last saturday night dorman, dealing frankfurt a for neil spanking the wind,

saw them leap frog perennial champions buyer munich into 1st place on match day 29 . and they celebrated with gusto. earlier that day, byron, who haven't been their usual indomitable selves this season suffered a 31 defeat at mites. those 2 results have given bundis league fans the most exciting title race. in over a decade, can dort men, and by irons incredible run of 10 straight bundis, they get titles dort men last came out on top in 2012. when they lifted the league trophy for the 2nd year in a row. that was under coat juergen club, a time when buyer and seemed to have met their match, no longer able to count on an unimpeded run to the title. that was also the last

time buyer. and we're not in the lead. at this point in the campaign. at since i had ship miller in this situation, and we need to take the final steps that we're looking forward to it for you, and we're happy that everything is on the line, and that it will be an intense match against buchan. we can show we're ready to take those finals and eps. it's so we can celebrate together at the end of the season, get mom into commands. i'm to fire dark. men's hands can now hope and dream. of course, no one could blame them if they also had their doubts. they've gotten used to playing 2nd fiddle to byron for so long now. but as of today, dorman, control their own destiny, earn at least as many points as buyer and over their next 5 games. and they'll once again, finally taste sweet trials. now let's check out some more news from the worlds of sports quarterback rise young from the university of alabama was chosen by the carolina panthers as the 1st pick of the nfl draft. the annual event sees the best
