conditions. well, correspondent rosie bertram was among the protest as in paris and told me what was going on. oh miss looks to be the break in turn. i think is the main margin. the capital power is profound. people have been a long, i've seen a heavy police present national with a fight that the light fires burning on the streets. and i've also been approached by people say, with over at that plan to raise the minimum retirement age. to 64. i've spoken to plenty of people to feel the government isn't. they are much about anger, directed personally, toward french president. and who said he understand some of the anger overall about this before, but said it's very much needed. he said,

in order to make the whole system financially viable, a is a traditional day of workers protests around the world. this to that he's turn out the and from significantly bigger than you'd expect. well, you certainly are calling this historic and of course, particularly because of the contacts. it's probably just a couple of weeks after this ball was pop pop under controversial circumstances because the french government use special powers to bypass with. 5 that might be expected, and i think a lot of a major improvement like nation because we have protests over the last week about 4, but 1st had me a 2nd please. what will be the longer term followed all the oh, these are definitely see here what i was i spoke you said the only way you think for me the far right it been all the fury?

no just spoke with ideas about rosie rosie birch and paris ukraine. says it down more than a dozen russian missiles in the early hours of monday morning. great military said air defense systems intercepted 15 of 18 russian avalanche cruise missiles. missiles didn't hit the capital, but damage buildings in easton, ukraine, and left dozens wounded rushes. defense ministry said it carried out strikes on ukrainian military sites and that all of its targets had been hit like a respondent. mc conley and keith told me more about the russian attacks. well, as you mentioned, there no casualties in care, but certainly a lot more activity. why did yoga fi than just keep more than 30 people wounded in the east? the country near the stiff new pro. it's believed they live 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 wasn't more recently in recent hours. we've heard more detail about other attacks. other missiles in the west, the country near to torment. and so we need ski. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it certainly comes as a shock after basically the best part of 2 months without attacks beyond the front lines. and people here and key of now very coach the fact that those area warnings are very serious. indeed. yet why is russia now intensifying 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 huge number of christmas cells over the winter, over the very 1st part of this here, attacking ukraine's energy infrastructure that didn't work out how it didn't go out . the light didn't go out here and you brand, and we were seeing russian missiles being picked up on the fields of ukraine with serial numbers indicates they've been produced couple of weeks before. and it

basically been set straight to front lines. and now the expectation is that basically they were able to build up a bit of a supply to produce 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 their government to come some kind of arrangement with the russians. i'm what news from the back road near at nick, where the ground battle has been most intense. always hearing above awful, huge casualties on the russian side. this is also been law report 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 to criminal, but they just not picking up the successes that they desperately need. the cranes are still 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 estimate by each set of the city. so it is a question of when, rather than if russia takes hold of um, 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 may commonly in keith. meanwhile, the european union has struck a deal to and a rabbit had been the blocking imports of ukrainian agricultural products you states bordering. the ukraine had been torn between helping their neighbor and protecting their own farmers, leading some of them to introduce import bands. the you hate to keep the grain trucks from ukraine on the go. and europe, united ukraine had long been a big agricultural exporter. but russia's invasion changed, that's with its black see ports partly blocked. ukraine got their products to market, surround the world overland through europe, and the

e. u. wave tariffs on ukrainian goods to help but farmers in eastern europe complained that they were being left with mountains of unsold produce and that the availability of cheaper ukrainian grains damaged their business. poland normally a staunch ally of ukraine, even bond imports unilaterally leaving long lines of ukrainian trucks stuck out the border. in april, you cranes foreign ministry called the restrictions on its grain exports via the e. you quote, categorically, unacceptable. the agreement aims to let ukrainian agricultural products travel through the e u, but allow poland, romania, bulgaria, slovakia,

and hungary to impose internal temporary restrictions on some grain. plus it gives the option to restrict more produce and future. at the same time, it lets ukrainian goods into the you without tariffs for another year, mr. to those success when you, i think this is a success for the european union that it was possible to reach a compromise solution and get out of this crisis which seemed to be potentially dangerous economically. and also politically. the issue that compromise solution may get the trucks leaving again and e u leaders, hope it will maintain the image of europe. united in its support for ukraine is look at the most doors making news around the world or south in the u. s. where regulators have taken control of the troubled 1st republic bank and struck

enough to treat over a 1000 injured people. i hope this will be only the 1st of a number of vouchers that will come. we'll be extremely crucial for the hospital to the hospital to be able to cater for the needs of thousands of people that are flocking to their doors and waiting to get medical assistance. but the conflict shows no sign of easing. shortly after the warring parties agree to a 72 hour truce, violence broke out again in the capital her tomb. while foreign governments are scrambling to evacuate their nationalist, thousands of sudanese are seeking refuge in neighboring countries. but many have no choice but to hide in their homes amid rapidly deteriorating conditions. muscular we hear the sounds of artillery it can fall in the street in front all the one behind when the new modem year shall we have to sleep on the floor. there is no
