ukraine's president calls for better air defenses from its western allies. after russia's deadliest air strikes in weeks. ah, and we meet the hard rockers from kenya competing for the chance to play at the world's biggest heavy metal festival. the legendary vulcan in northern germany. ah, i'm michael oak, who welcomed in sudan. heavy fighting continues despite a truce extension announced last thursday by the army and rival paramilitary group known as the rapid support forces or r s. f. air strikes and artillery have rocked parts of capital. cartoon. the heavy bombardment has damage buildings in residential neighborhoods. the conflict has spread to the volatile door for region. the violence broke out 2 weeks ago spark by

a power struggle between the 2. rival generals. hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands have fled for their lot. earlier i talked to matt nasha, the canadian journalist, following the developments in sudan from the egyptian capital cairo. i asked him why the 2 sides are unable to reach an agreement, i think because each one thinks that they can still win. um, so you know, lee negotiations are going to really get started, ho, hum, momentum until one party is trying to protect itself from losing more than already has. and another party is trying to, you know, essentially official eyes, it's gains and so right now, or things that are pretty even queue of fighting with a hard time between the military are a so, so doesn't lend a lot of and center for either side or to negotiate when they're not going to get more or less than they otherwise would have,

because they have no consolidation of gains on the battlefield. and to the war he and europe, ukraine's president. the lot of his zalinski has asked western allies for more powerful air defenses. after russia launched its biggest airstrikes in weeks, at least 25 people were killed. the city of whom on south of cave was the hardest hitting the attacks which happened early friday morning. the victims include children who died when walk it struck in apartment building. 6 they're still in shock after russian misses destroy their homes in the early hours . i'm not really 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 out things and ran out, and then every one started arriving several buildings where hits one completely

destroyed what you you more so believe we had with sound of a plane taking off. 010 minutes later there was an explosion of zachary zoe. at 1st i was confused as to the engine and then there was a 2nd explosion here. all human love glass flew towards us. oh. yeah. quickly covered myself with a blanket and asked my husband, he was alive or not. but you really got this theory, the window, we could see that everything was on fire. it's hard to find words to describe it was after that, we gather la things and went outside to send it, but it is some of herself, but obviously oh, emergency services managed to rescue several people from the rubble presidency. lensky called the attack a night of terror and condemned to targeting civilians, ukrainian forces, say russia launch $23.00 missiles on the cities of women. on knee pro, 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 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. and there are reports this morning that a fuel tank has caught fire due to an alleged drone attack in the russian occupied port city of sebastopol in crimea. a short while ago i spoke to d. w correspondent mathias burlingame, who gave us more details. ah, yeah, it seems to be quite a big fire. we've seen pictures or for several. the fuel storage is, are there burning? i'm not the 1st time that her ukraine has attacked the targets deep in crimea, the bridge that connects crimea to russia has been hit by ukrainians. airfields

have been hit there. nevertheless, every one of them is of course a difficult operation because they need to get quite far into russian control territory over either via the sea or, or via land and save us topple is of course, a very symbolic target because it's where the, this, each of the black sea fleet, the russian black sea fleet. so it's of course assigned that sir. ukraine is still laying claims to crimea. it's, it's so good. aim is to hurry, conquer crimea, and that was a very powerful sign that they have an unrelenting from that several cities were struck in russia's biggest air strike this week. is there a belief on the ground that this might be russia's new strategy to unleash massive attacks far and wide?

if it was, it wouldn't be completely new. civilian buildings have been had throughout this war quite often. and if anything ukrainians are just confirmed that russian tactics are basically to scare people to inflict harm on civilians in order to break them. morale a terrorist took t as a tactics as people call it here in ukraine. now this one was her, one of the most deadly attacks that we've seen, but it's by far not the only one buildings, especially in cities, legs up or asia nipper or, or hard kids that are closer to the frontline and can be reached by a number of rockets, i have often often civilian buildings have been hit. mature, says you attacks on seville objects on residential buildings. do not inflict a lot of harm on the military, so they do not calm the military's capacities. now we don't know a lot about this or planned offensive where it might take place whole strong. the

ukranian army really is very conflicting information on that. and so there are lots of question marks. the ukranian military is very good at keeping their plans secret in order or to a launch a surprise attack on russia, or, or to attack in surprising locations or by else appraised per surprising tactics. so we don't know a lot, but i doubt that this kind of attack will deter the ukranian army from attacking the russians. on the contrary, i really am ukrainians after these attacks, really rally behind their military. and the public opinion here is that these territories, the need to be taken back in order also, not only to keep save the people who live there, but also to keep safe. the people who live in other parts of ukraine like in norman, which is quite far from the front lines, understood that it's our t. w, correspond mathias paralegal. many, many thanks. hope frances has warned against rising nationalism across
