12:04 pm
verola will be block. and although the fidget here will be stuck, the united nations wants a number fleeing sudan could soon surpass 800000. i'm a conflict, could the stabilize a region for the thousands that have already left the violence may be behind them. but the multiple challenges facing the displaced still lie ahead for more on the humanitarian crisis. hash kimbry is regional advisor with the norwegian refugee council. and i roby. what fate do the thousands of refugees leaving sudan face right now? it depends largely which country they go to and we're looking get jobs out. sedona t o p are pretty harsh conditions there and some of the contributors to the refugee
12:05 pm
population in south saddam so far as up to 1000000 refugees. where seeking show that in with them before this happened. no. do you, when it's telling us that as many people are a 100000, might be fleeing over the next days and the name. but in countries that, that gives a bit of, of an idea of people being forced to flee the company. they had to flee from at to, to return back to some kind of safety chart. so, so done at the o, p r. they have pretty much their own crises to deal with. and they need all the support and to where people arriving that are exhausted. they've taken days, as you've rightly reported just to reach across the board, there's seminar and it's taking days to also cross into egypt. more stable reality over there, across the board there, but still extremely exhausted. people sleeping outside, sleeping on the streets. and at,
12:06 pm
depending on the charity and the generosity of the residents who live at the border and tempting them, what about making it safe in sudan, full, a displaced people for aid workers as well. i understand your angio was just one of many that's come under attack is totally with her daughter offices. and the facilities in west are for looted together with dozens of other and g o. z. and, and commission establishments that have been looted and west are for the fighting, is getting completely out of control and displacement camps have been burned down to ashes some shelter, basic shelter that displaced people on refugees used to have gone at what they have no where to go that rep there. in the cartoon, the fighting is still raging. so yeah, it's extremely unsafe in large parts of the country that are areas where we have been able to reach out to the, to the displaced and at we're not,
12:07 pm
we're hoping to there's you model operation soon, but it's been extremely challenging with our partner organizations lost their stuff in the fighting, in the 1st days of this and that has compromised pretty much all of our work. and so done, we need to get back as soon as possible because there are millions who need our help. and you talk about the situation being out of control, is this going to take international intervention? if only the international community put as much effort and energy and focus as much as it's put into the evacuations would probably be me in a much better place right now. of course, understandably, countries need to evacuate their citizens, but we cannot forget what is happening in south saddam people get up there. people with no means of escape with no 2nd citizenship nor 2nd nationality. no passport. a lot of them have had to flee even without taking their papers because it got so bad
12:08 pm

12:12 pm
been built earthquake proof, if the authorities had checked regularly and surely fewer people would have died, but those didn't come up because that in sun, only the many in turkey have criticized president regis, tie of ad one's slow response to the disaster they also accused him and his government of not having done enough to prevent unsafe and corrupt building practices. the president who's fighting for 3rd term in office has admitted that there were some shortcomings. and promised a reconstruction project of historic proportions college called thought any shows were starting the construction of permanent isaac watch, which is the most important need at a pace that is hard to believe that her were determined to deliver $319000.00 houses with their infrastructure, public buildings, social facilities,

12:14 pm
upcoming elections seems far away. saved our la john hopes that she and the small family she has left will have a future that they will get the real help. they need and not just to empty promises. during an election campaign the united states claims that over $20000.00 russian troops had been killed in ukraine since december and the battle of the eastern city of buck. what intelligence sources say an additional $80000.00 were injured in the same period. according to a declassified report, half of the fallen from the bark and military group, which has been attempting to take control of back. but the city has become the focal point of russia's campaign to take control of the dumbass region in the east of the country. so how accurate are these russian casualty numbers released by the united states? i asked al,
12:15 pm
corresponded economy and keith. while these are always numbers that are to really be looked at with a lot of caution, these are historic containers. american estimates being relatively conservative, but up to the they're not on the ground, nor able to really fact check all of this. and in a war situation, neither side or publishing official numbers, lots of people are still counted as missing in action rather than actually deceased . so from the relatives don't get any kind of conclusive answers for months at a time. but it's certainly the case that back more has been the scene of extraordinary losses on the russian side. and no real sense there that the russian or military command is in any mood to try and fight in a more kind of conservative, more cautious way that would reduce those losses. and we do believe that the ukraine losses all seafront, but smaller by a significant weight than the russian losses of the in defense. you're in a better position than if you're trying to take territory. but all through this conflict, we've been trying to kind of work out what these numbers really are. and you know, from the ukraine side, every couple of months,
12:16 pm
you'll get some statements that last summer we had the top ukraine general saying that you could cranes losses were below 9000. then you're more recently we've had a top security official saying that a wounded and dead under a 100000. but basically these numbers are all pretty far out. and i think we're going to really count the cost of this war much, much later. there's no real sense that we have any opportunity right now to know quite 100 people losing a lot. a connelly there? well, the award ukraine is just being fought on the grout. it's also happening in the information space. russia is churning out and nearly constant stream of fake stories to support its military amps. and next report is the 1st in a series on that this information space. we look at how does information is created distributed and what makes a fake story. most effective social media is full of these images and stories. they can spread in an instant if they find an audience, they can create confusion, fear,
12:17 pm
or confirm extreme opinions. many of them start here in the russian city of st. petersburg at what's known as the internet research agency, or i r re, also known as the troll factory. deborah, it's owned by wagner paramilitary group finance here. if jenny pre gozine scene here, allegedly at the front in ukraine as his private army shoots at ukrainian positions . the i r a is just one agency that works along with russia's fs. be intelligent service. also creating content are patriotic volunteers, while others trolls and bots spread the word on social media. the messages are intended to hit different targets or sometimes multiple targets. russian government to and russian propaganda machine uses all the distribution channels available to influence their own population to influence
12:18 pm
the ukrainians and to influenced foreign audiences. seeing the european union in the united states. and of course, they try to influence different audiences with different sets of messages. and the, with the, of course, with different to aim. for example, they, they want to influence their own population to, to increase support. so called special offer military operation to influence people to go to the army and to and now they trying to influence ukrainians with not just not with pro ration messages because it would be impossible to influence ukrainians with pro russian met messages right now. but to, to split our society, to, to create conflicts to, to fuel exist in conflicts to make ukraine,
12:19 pm
to resistance, to this aggression weaker. and of course, they tried to influence the western communities, western countries. so a population of western countries to weaken our support. let's look at some examples of fake messages that found audiences. this image of ukrainian president followed him as a landscape giving away parts of ukraine to poland in exchange for tanks based on no real reporting, but playing on ancient fears of ukraine's being divided yet again. or this message for our russian audience, stating that the u. s. intends to launch 5000 tomahawk missiles at russia in a surprise strike supposedly source from the new york times. though no record of any such article exists on the new york times website. or this, alleging that presidents lensky has squirreled away a fortune. fueling longstanding stereotypes about ukrainian leaders,
12:20 pm
corruption. this one feeds the narrative in far right and far less circles in the u . s. in europe, that sending money to ukraine is wasteful and useless on the enriching the leadership there. what makes these messages effective? i think if i would have to choose one word that describes it, it will be a subtlety. so basically a really good piece of information is predominantly using actual facts. i is either twisting them or adding something on top or is falsifying just a bit of it. so from the chris reads or the chris glanced, it might seem real know and then and then he is sort of can drag them because you know, if someone to sell something obscene, you can just clearly see that it's something you're, you just look away when it's subtle when there's a variety of different factors, the volt, when it seems that there are a lot of different voices from this out, especially on line on social media. if we see that there's a lot of comments in going on on there in the sixty's or and using the article,
12:21 pm
this can be highly, highly, highly effective. because it just seems, it seems real. it just seems real and it is real to many people, though it's impossible to measure how many people's minds are changed by this information. it's clear that russia places a high value on it and that the garage of fake and twisted stories is not likely to lead up soon. that how effective are these fake news stories? we asked marina iran from the war studies department at kings college london. well, they are pretty effective when it comes to different audiences when we're looking at the russian side. and we have to understand that this is an ongoing struggle for russia. this is an information struggle which has existed both in peace time and now in worth time. and so, from the russian side, the information competing targeted against ukraine has not been as successful in
12:22 pm
the west. however, russia has shifted its focus away from, from the west to a certain degree to target the african countries to target latin american countries to target countries. in asia and the middle east, and this is where as, as campaign is paying off, at least from what we, we are seeing in terms of diplomatic relations. because this is one part of a bigger strategy. which is supported by economic tools by diplomatic tools, by sure force. so was any crane itself? it's not as effective, however, it's effective, a road or a small world news stories for you. brian has in hollywood, have gone on strike of pay it working conditions. the writers guild of america launched its 1st strike and 15 years of the tools with major studios ended without a deal. late night talk shows will shut down and tv series of movies, men released later this year. we'll face the lights, environmental groups,
12:23 pm
assuming the u. s. federal aviation administration over its approval of a space ex spoke at thought like last month. the groups argue the agency failed to adequately investigate the potential homage with due to the surrounding environment . the rocket exploded minutes into flight. thousands of people marched in berlin to mock international workers. day organizes ended. one of the demonstrations early in protest against the heavy police presence is made day gatherings largely peaceful. some rallies of france turn violent weight over a 100 police offices injured in clashes with demonstrators. hundreds of thousands of people joined the labor day, much as it protest a pension reform said, have raised the retirement age. clashes with police smashed windows. paris is once again alight as angry people protest unpopular plans
12:24 pm
to push the minimum retirement age to $64.00. those marching here, see this is a made a call for workers' rights. well, we don't want to die working. we want to live and see our children and grandchildren grow up and enjoy it because we'll have worked all our lives. so see, i'm retired and i'm disgusted. i what they're doing. he saw on that young people. it's all, it's very important for us to be here because we are all generations. i agree with the for the conferences of this policy, hundreds of thousands turned out across the country. much of the frustration here is directed towards president emmanuel macro. um, he says the reform is needed to keep the pension system financially viable. but the french leaders approval ratings have plummeted. and this analyst says there's only one winner here, but it's all yellow. pearl is okay, looking at opinion pulls and foot protection. so this all tends to benefit populist,
12:25 pm
extreme right for it is a lot like the national relief because they symbolize anger towards an animal mac home colon. there has never been such a swift drop in a french president's popularity handles. okay, and that's what's problematic. it was because he has 4 years left in power until be complicated for him to best any new form or so precedent rate of a form. the pension law is now moving ahead and some think this made a mobilization is the movements last gasp after multiple nationwide strikes. but these parisians say they'll keep up the pressure. and the fall out from this political battle may be felt for years to come. he des, paris correspondent, was at the latest march as in paris and told us more the square behind me is where this protest all began. or you can see there is a statue in the middle of that square. and protesters have decked it out with a t shirt which says the words, mac hall, demi sure that means macros resign. and that was the message from many of the
12:26 pm
people who turned out to march, who i spoke to today. some of them trade union members who are unhappy with the content of this pension reform law and with the way that it was passed. but of course some of those who turned out did also end up clashing with police. and there was a descent into violence in some parts of the city and in some parts of france know, we know, according to the interior ministry that are more than 200 people have been detained, more than a 100 police officers have been injured and the french prime minister has slammed on violence on the side lays of these media protests as unacceptable. finally, some of the biggest stars in fashion and in detainment have gathered in new york for the met gala this year honoring the late fashion icon. karl lagerfeld, attendees sported books reflecting his aesthetic with lack of jared leto dressing as the designs, cat retired tennis saw serina williams used her moment on the red carpet to announce a 2nd pregnancy. the actual bold is
