kiva this morning, that ukraine says it destroyed more than a dozen incoming messiah and more fighting reported in sedans. capital faced by rival military forces agreeing to extend a cease fire un wanted a humanitarian crisis, is turning into a full blown catastrophe. ah, ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. workers facing rising inflation have taken to the streets across europe to mark the may day holiday. one of the largest demonstrations is in france, where hundreds of thousands gathered on the streets of the capital, paris police to class with protesters angry at the government's decision last month to raise the retirement age. by 2 years to 64, demonstrators are also demanding higher salaries and better working conditions. scott,

go straight to paris where we find our correspondent rosie birch aug. welcome, rosy units. we're hoping for a big turn out across the country. what's happening in paris? well, as you can see, there is a big turn out here. there are demonstrators, as far as you can see, basically in every direction. and they're here expressing frustration, anger, and resentment. not least over that on popular french government policy to reform the patient assistance and to raise the minimum retirement age to $64.00. no, this is certainly what people have been complaining about here. i've spoken to many of them. i've spoken to people who complain that they think baseball penalize is women unfairly. i've spoken to young people who say that even though they're only a teenagers are in their early twenties, they feel it will be their generation, which suffers. and when i put it to some protesters that there are plenty of other european countries where the retirement age, he's higher than in france, they said,

well, we don't care, we want to be able to retire and to be able to spend time with our grandchildren. so plenty of resentment on grade even here on the streets of paris, paris, much of it directed towards french president and you'll, my god, himself, who of course said this of reform is strongly needed. so the whole pension system can be financially viable. but these protesters certainly don't buy it, they think that's not the case. they want to see a derailment of this law, which of course, has actually passed on by controversial needs. because the french government use special contra constitutional power is in order to bypass some of the parliamentary oversight which normally be needed. and that's also part of why some of these people are demonstrating they're not happy with how that went ahead. the may day on labor day is a traditional day of protest. our today's demonstrations that in france particularly large. is this a historic maida. well,

you certainly have this historic one site i saw say, but this is not a celebration today's different, but it's a moment instead of frustration because of course, it's just in the wake of the passing of this controversial law. and i think there's a big question with times over this whole affair, this whole protest this day across france. and that is what will be the longer term or median term. political result of all this resentment we see on the streets. i spoke to one analyst who said he thinks that he could win here really a good score, some political point, as those political parties of the extremes of the spectrum are particularly microns farmer far right. challenger marine located. he's been quite quiet on the policy itself, but who cell models may indeed be able to score some political points from the anger directed partly at the government. now, when it comes to what's happening here on the street across france, there already has been uses of tear gas. we here in paris, i've witnessed some scuffles what looked like the beginning of classes between

police and protesters. there is also, however, a kind of a effect of environment subway people are singing. we've seen people dancing too. so let's see how this day goes on. there could be more violence to calm that certainly by some protest here. and power is, have gone over the last few weeks, but certainly those that i've spoken to so far have largely been peaceful here to express eyes are here to say are raising our voice is whether or not they feel listen to. thank you for that. rosie rosie bradshaw in paris. and i to you, crane with the military says it's down more than that. doesn't russian missiles in the early hours of this morning? because you said the air defense systems interceptor 15 out of 18, russian and lords, cruise missiles miss austin tate, capitol, but damage buildings, east and ukraine and left dozens, boom, did rushes. defense ministry said carry up strikes on the ukrainian military sites and that all of its targets in head let's get more for my correspondent nick

conley in key. welcome, a. nick. what more do we know about this latest russian letter? well, as you mentioned, there no casualties in kia, but certainly a lot more activity. why did geography than just give will the 30 people wounded in the east, the country near the stiffness pro? it's believed they lived near an industrial facility, and that this was kind of collateral damage, people suffering from smoking relation and also from the explosion windows being blown out of their frames. there was and more recently, in recent hours we've heard more detail about other attacks. other missiles in the west, the country near chateau middle, so we need sky. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it just suddenly comes as a shock after basically the best part of 2 months without attacks beyond the front lines. and people here in key of now very coach the fact that those area warnings

are very serious. indeed. yet why is russia now intensifying at those attacks given this law that there's been what i think most kind of experienced analysts the most normally reliable, they kind of say that this is just because russia can russia use a huge number of christmas cells over the winter over the 1st part of this year, attacking ukraine's energy infrastructure that didn't work out. power didn't go out . the light didn't go out here and you grant, and we were seeing russian missiles being picked up on the fields of ukraine with serial numbers indicates they've been produced a couple of weeks before. and it basically been set straight the front lines. and now the expectation is that basically they were able to build up a bit of a supply to produce them more to maybe get some new spare parts past those sanctions. speculation that some of the spare parts might be coming from iran, and that this is now just part of russia's continued campaign to try and put pressure psychologically on ordinary ukrainians. far away from the front lines in the hope that they might push they government to come, some kind of arrange with the russians. i'm what news from the back road near nick,

where the ground battle has been most intense. always hearing above awful, huge casualties on the russian side. there's also been low reports about conflict within the russian forces between the wagner mercenary group and the regular russian army within between wagner and other mercenary groups operating there. and there is a sense that this is getting incredibly difficult, the criminal, they just not picking up the successes that they desperately need. ukraine's austell holding on. they are still be in a position to protect their main route in and out. but it has be said that russia controlled by most estimates about 80 percent of the city. so it is a question of when, rather than if russia takes hold of batman. but for now, it seems like ukraine losses are much less than what russia is investing. there for not much of a kind of strategic gate. okay, thank you for that. make commonly in keith is look at some more stories making news around the world will start in was back in town where voters have
