were killed when rockets struck an apartment block, ukraine's president zalinski has condemned it as a night of terror. 6 there 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. 2 emotional bully with we had the sound of a plane taking off. oh, what? 10 minutes later there was an explosion of very, very at 1st i was confused as to any one and then there was a 2nd explosion here. all you must, glass flew towards us, all of your. i quickly covered myself with a blanket and asked my husband,

he was alive or not, but you really got this very the window. we could see that everything was on fire. it's hard to find words to describe it. so water. after that, we gather la things and went outside to senator dorothy, some of his stomach bug o. emergency services managed to rescue several people from the rubble presidency. lensky called the attack a night of terror and condemned the targeting of civilians, ukrainian forces, say russia, launch 23 missiles on the cities of women on nipper, where 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 rush and 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 to dubuque, responded nic homilies in la keith, and i asked them about the state of ukraine's air defenses. 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 how much kilometers at, from north to south there is never going to 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 severely limited to hear tom tom, again, ukrainian officers talking about their frustration of us 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. they were having to take missiles of the production line directly to the

front lines. there was no stocks left, but it does seem like now off to 50 days or so over pause that russia once again has enough missiles to really make ukrainians basic be be afraid of it on the hill . it's are and it, let's talk about the timing of these 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've 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's what isn't russia 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 for lazy, kind. remember that this war is still very much going on. it increases for, 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 concern crane was dropping. once again, you have stories like this images like these on the front pages worldwide. and i think this is not really going to be in russia's interest in the long term in terms of them wishing the west to forget about ukraine and allow them to put pressure on ukraine. the common val correspondent in keith. thank you very much, nick. turn out to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. authorities in indonesia say, 11 people died when a boat capsized. among the victims are several children. search and rescue teams are still looking for passengers. boating accidents are commonly and they re our island chain due to lack safety standards. there supposed top francis 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,

support forces have agreed to extend a fragile truce for another 72 hours. but there's been more fighting in the capital, khartoum 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 a running short of vital supplies. many countries are also evacuating their diplomats and nationals. ah, an 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. but i'd like to know that the army is fighting this paramilitary 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 hold on when i'm looses selling flour, clothes and folders, no supply of flour for bakery. lizzie, good, and available. flower will be from the showroom, kaiser, and other bakeries. there are no workers, any of them, i will get it. things are getting worse, she what is available now won't be there to morrow. the fighting has disrupted food distribution across sudan and damaged power lines in some areas around the capitol, leaving people without electricity or water. mozilla's on this, we're fixing the main power station for somebody city to muddle if you want to pour . so for an oil, there's no water i'm up about and well,

the water plant will close local, but we're tens 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 been amid the escalating violence, more sudanese people will be making the grim calculation, whether to risk staying or risk leaving. in iran, families are accusing the authorities of failing to stop a month's long series of poison attacks on school girls. more than $13000.00 cases of gas poisoning have been registered. amnesty international says the attacks have targeted $300.00 girls schools. some government, critics believe, the poisoning retaliation for loss or nationwide anti regime demonstrations. but

it's not clear who's responsible. around supreme leader color ali harmony has described the poisonings as an unforgivable crime. in sharah, here is an iranian british activist in women's rights campaigner. she's based in london to the aster. how frequent and wide spread these poisonings have become so dear started around the 30th of november. the 1st case we've seen was the last year and they continue to grow. and then they had 2, almost 3 weeks of school holidays towards 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 a tree time. 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 is either writing a fil guns on the get a balls or bringing down the picture supreme the day or not bearing her job at the the be 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 girls need to be punished. med into punishment shouldn't be harsh, but they should be punished for the be the is i don't want to be exhausted. the 30th of november and these are these attacks so who is behind these poisonings then? oh it's quite difficult to say so 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, i mean, i talked the no one case of the door to get to the school after the i talked to the

court until mid spend it outside and they've been, i've talked about that 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 allies of the government. and they've been guided and they're not going to repeat that sort of language which, which is a pattern that we've seen from day, even in the gene. they don't claim the responsibility and all these when they're doing something to dampen, to protest or something like that in iran will disobedience. they created quite a distance between themselves and the actual people who are, you know, taking the orders and i'm doing it. so it gives them a kind of ability and that's the same case. but when you look at the patterns of the tax, you know, the pattern of behavior by the islamic republic,

it's not often 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. haven't seen any food take 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 monday to the job long. this is really complicated. like, how can you know that it's possible that you don't know who's behind is attack. that was negative. sure. i an iranian british activists talking to me earlier. now in the us, the woman whose accusations led to the lynching of a black teenager in the segregate segregated south, has died in 1955. carolyn bryant on m accused. 14 year old emmett till of accosting
