cartoon asia and her family knew that they had to move quickly. they traded everything they could to rent a car and set off for the egyptian border. oh park on martha and nissan. and it was very difficult. sometimes we were 28 people. i mean, the boys don't have a visa, but we kept them with our suffering is unprecedented. i be left on the fighting clashes and artillery, and then it was real suffering. the anamosa de la garza here asia is just one of thousands who have flocked to neighboring egypt since the war broke out 2 weeks ago. the humanitarian situation. incidence capital is dial, food and water as guess and the health care system is on the brink of collapse. faced with these dangers,

the un estimates that over 100000 people have fled to neighboring countries. but they won. that number is likely to rise alongside government, some foreigners u. n. a t r the u and refugee agency has the 3rd mean. i mean me, she was planning fieger of more than 800000 refugees. and right there. nice that maybe they that may fleeced to, than to neighboring countries. sunday, the u. n. says the scale of the exodus is staggering. and students neighbors are struggling to accommodate those who have fled their home soon. shoulder, the number of displaced people through the last 2 weeks. exceeds as a result of conflict ah, it exceeds all conflict related displacements report ensued on in 2022 just to give you a sense of the scale of movement. since april 15, asia and her family managed to escape the fighting that has gripped that homeland

together with thousands of others who had made the journey. they now face an uncertain future. toby harwood is the you and hcr is principle situation coordinator for dar, for he was evacuated from the region just a few days ago. he told us about the situation there that he left behind. i mean, i was fortunate i, i evacuated on thursday night from the french military military forces, along with 102 other humanitarian personnel, un humanitarian personnel. many of my other colleagues had to take very hazardous journeys over land towards chad into south saddam, many of the same journeys that others sudanese are having to take. now in response to the white scale fighting situation is catastrophic. in many areas of food, in alpha where i was based, there was full blown conflict between the 2 sides. the 2 or 3 days before an uneasy fragile truce was put into place by the local authorities. a fortunately,

that truce has, has more or less held, allowing the civilians to resume very, very basic normal normal lives. but unfortunately, there has been huge damage done by critical done to critical civilian infrastructure including medical facilities. and it is extraordinarily difficult for any humanitarian organization, including our very courageous national staff to be able to be carrying out a central humanitarian work in such an environment. in the ela, a south star ford, there was a white scale looting and chaos. and in parts of the town which left all un agencies without guest houses without cause, without a offices. that was to be harvard, they're speaking with this earlier. let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . multiple rockets have been fired at israel from the gaza strip following the death in israeli custody of a palestinian hunger strike. israel's military said that its air defense systems

intercepted for rockets, while 16 others landed in open areas, at least 3 foreign nationals were injured at a construction site. women in new york state will soon be able to obtain birth control pills from pharmacies without seeing a doctor. the governor today signed the legislation, which also increases access to abortion medication for university students. it comes almost a year after the u. s. supreme court stripped abortion rights from millions of americans, russian state media play a crucial role in maintaining public support for moscow's war against ukraine. but could the kremlin eventually lose its grip on this tightly controlled narrative? d. w. 's, maria cut him on. so looks at how russian tv fashioned and alternate reality out of a deadly missile strike. a strike on the city of oman, russia, sas, its army,

uses precision weapons only aimed at military targets. so how's the propaganda? spinning this narrative, this apartment block in human central ukraine was struck by russia may styles it heat at around 4 in the morning when most people were in bad. the strike killed $23.00 people including 6 children. so how did moscow respond? rush state to be use images of they destroyed building, claiming that this devastation was actually ukraine's fault caused by keith shelling of the don't boss region. even though this region is hundreds of kilometers away from the actual scene of the tragedy. you know, this video recorded by one also victims was exploited by one of russia top propaganda se led him and he should and added to the video on his telegram channel,

saying that it was ukrainians, killing their own people. and while rush and propaganda outlets try to shift the blame, the country's ministry of defense tried to embrace it. these photo reading right on target appeared on the ministry's telegram channel just a few hours later. independent polls indicate that many russians believe their propaganda. but of course, this does not apply to every one. after the strike on this apartment building in mon people all over russia brought flowers to spontaneous memorials. the show of solidarity was not welcome by the russians towards this, and they were quick to remove the flowers and any messages apologizing for their talk of a more now, on russia's propaganda campaign, i'm joined by here giles, author of the book, russia's war on everybody. he's a senior consulting fellow of the russia and eurasia program at chatham house. here is good to have you. with this tonight,

you wrote that russia's propaganda. success is the result of long term investments and the skill for use of t. v and social media. how far back does this go? a yes, it's really important to bear in mind that your correspondent just described the treatment of one incident, but that one incident wouldn't succeed if it weren't for this long background. this long preparation that russia's been building this alternate realities been instructed over more than a decade. in fact, if you go far back into russia's portrayal of the outside world, it's hard to find a time where there was really an honest account of what was happening in the world around russia. and also in the country itself. the narrative that we had coming out now from russia about what ukraine is trying to convince its own population and the rest of the world about why russia is waging this war. actually have roots that are more than 10 years old. and they've laid down the foundations for this alternative reality that you had mentioned, where everything is fund through a 180 degrees. and that has tragic consequences. of course, the people in ukraine,

if russia tells its people that ukrainians who believe in the existence of their own country, nazis than that excuses. so many of the atrocities that we seen perpetrated in ukraine itself. we know that the russian media machine is controlled by the state in russia. we know about the control that the state has on its domestic audience. i'm wondering there is moscow or the managing to sway decision makers abroad. i'm thinking of leaders in africa, latin america, se asia absolutely. there are different campaigns for different audiences. so what russia says to its own people at home will be different to the image that it's trying to portray, to africa and latin america. and also different again to what russia is saying to europe and north america. but in each of those different theaters again, you need to look at the long term and how the terms of conversations have changed over time. one of the biggest successes that russia's long term disinformation and influenced campaigns of ad is convincing europe and america that you cannot offend

or impede russia or you risk nuclear war. that's been a phenomenally successful campaign that has changed the whole terms of everything that people talk about in terms of escalation with russia and is one of being one of the key brakes on germany, the united states, other countries providing what ukraine needs in order to win this war here in germany, russia has been accused of trying to engineer if you will, political opinion by putting a new coalition together out of the far right and the, the far left. how's that go? well, it's true that russia has more choices. now in terms of who it can cooperate with in order to d, stabilize its target societies, the countries that it wants to subvert democratic processes in now formally under the u. s. s. our, of course, ideologically, they were constrained. they had to only deal with the far left, but now they can work with anybody that will further the aims. and you mentioned

television and social media. it's not just that, of course it's working through humans as well to deliver influence. because the useful idiots the agents have influenced the people who will foster russian state in forest to the deficits of their own. countries are easily found by russia and easily exploited all across the political spectrum. here you war and back in 2015 that nato and the european union cannot compete with russia's highly developed information warfare arsenal. in 2023 is that still the case? it wasn't so much that they couldn't compete. it's just that they were not competing. this was not seen as a contest in which, with the european union and nato were actually engaging. but all the time since then, we found both of those organizations and national governments. still looking for ways in which you can actually save contra societies against russia's information attacks. now nobody's talking about reaching back into russia with the same kind of dis information. the same kind of lying propaganda that russia uses against us.

because that's basically incompatible with how society's work, but there are still safeguards that could be put in place to try to reduce the impact that damaging impact on a democracy is on us societies of what russia does. and those are still not being taken here. giles, we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. fascinating. thank you . in just under 2 weeks turkey's president will face is arguably his biggest electoral test ever as the country goes to the poles. rich apply your peer to one has been in power now for 2 decades, but recently it's popularity as taking a hit because of turkey's on going economic crisis. and because of his handling of february's devastating earthquake, president air to one is also facing opposition. parties that have united around a single candid richard, ty, yeap edge one likes to win. and for the past 20 years,

his grip on power has only strengthened the army snowball at work with the help of his a k party. he's transformed turkey's parliamentary system into a presidential one. he controls the major sectors of the country from the economy to the military. he's also successfully silenced a number of critics, including political rival, sela hot in demetrius, who's been in jail since 2016. outside turkey. edwin has increased his influence on the international stage. it was his final approval that allowed finland to join nato this year. but he continues to hold up sweden's membership bed. at once made no secret of his friendship with russian president vladimir putin, nato's biggest threat. he's already purchased an air defense system from moscow,

much to the west frustration center here. last week, the 2 leaders jointly unveiled turkeys 1st nuclear power plant, which is being built by russia state nuclear company ross, a tom. but behind the scenes at home, things haven't been going his way. inflation is still stubbornly high. even official figures put it around 50 percent. that's created a cost of living crisis that's hurting even the president's most loyal supporters. everyone's also trying to deal with the fallout from an earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people. many blame him personally for responding too slowly to the disaster and for the country being ill prepared for such a crisis. on top of that add ons,

facing an opposition that managed to unite behind one pounded it in order to get him out of power. i know all of turkey's problems, we know them all and we will solve them all. we have the knowledge, we have the experience and we have the strength, the strength is you no one else on the powers, the people it is you add to on spent the campaign trying to hit back laming every one and every thing. fatalities, problems being so not about her. we're here to open the door of turkey century, together with our nation against crew plotters, georgia, to village defenders, la global imperialists, political and social engineering, project law, marketing. what other? while edwin still has huge support this time round, it may not be enough to secure him another time. a sla i'd natasha

bosh is a visiting fellow with the brookings institution. i asked her if high inflation and that arched earthquake response if they will be decisive factors in the election. well, i think your reports are touched upon one of the key issues in the selection, the slow response to earthquake. but voters are also reacting to turkeys, terrible, economic situation. sometime last year we turkey had triple digit inflation. food prices are officially inflation around 50 percent, but unofficially, you know, by independent watchdogs, it's measured in triple digits. and so i and then you how you also have the fact that everyone has been in power for 20 years can no longer connect with younger people. he's offering a particular vision for turkey. make turkey great again, very much focused on turkey's home growing defense industry tanks and new aircraft

carrier, you know, military might. but then again, you also have a segment of the population that is seeing a disconnect between what president are doing is offering in the news. a new imperial vision and their daily lives is affects young people. this affects secularists, but increasingly urban middle class, from all different ideological backgrounds, including some conservatives, urban conservatives for disgruntled unhappy about the direction of the country. how so whatever happened this election president or tuan whether he wins or not, he is facing an anti ardon majority. and i think this is an important point. okay, that's an important point to the person he would like to replace or to want to describe him for our audience, for people, perhaps you don't fall with turkish politics. oh, so i used to be a journalist and had the opportunity to get to know both men and no to man can be

part of the report. and kim, i coached are a little is a, is a soft spoken former. as in former civil servant used to be work at the read the head of the social security division. he is 74 years old, sort of a thoughtful social democrat. not a man who is known for his much is more or his sort of tough of tactics when it comes to politics, but he's not positioning himself as the next down to one. and i think that is also very important. he's basically saying, look, i am a transition figure, i uniter. this is a big tent. this is a big coalition, and i can guide this county until we return to rule of law and democracy in a big point, the sales pitch of the session is democracy. what it sounds like, you're just, you're describing him as maybe turkey's version of joe biden,

who promised to take the united states out of the trump error. is that what he's doing? i'm going to take you out of year to one error. that's exactly what it is. that's exactly what it is. see is a leading a coalition that has different political parties. it's a coalition of 6 parties and is externally backed by the kurdish party pro garnished party. so you have people who come from a different ideological strains and he's basically saying, i am a uniter, this is a big tent, it's turkeys you're by the moment, or we're going to see whether it's turkey is ready for is joe biden movement. and i think the and on a different level, you know, opposition parties have agreed to bring the country back to law and parliamentary system. and as such, a good girl who is a transition figure,

let me ask you before we run out of time quickly. if president 01 loses, will he accept defeat? i think it will and some analysts or journalist might tell you he never will accept defeat. i happen to disagree with this, although i don't have the crystal ball. obviously if it's very close neck and neck, there will be a contested elections and you know, present on might ask for a recount into a ball sanara or donald trump pass when, if this is a significant enough lead one port percent or 2 percent or even bigger for the opposition president, i don't, will accept it will accept it because he's a man who's built his entire legitimacy on elections the ballot. i think he came, he would not be able to mobilize a sort of a bureaucratic response to defy the balance of the results. we will definitely be

following and see what happens when those results come in. i mean taskbar, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. of thousands of hollywood and film and television writers have gone on strike. that after talks between the major studios and the writers guild of america failed to reach an agreement. writers are picketing major studios and by false angelus and new york. the strike is already shut down recordings of most late night shows and it could delay the release of t, v series and movies in the fall. writers say that their incomes have been significantly reduced. thanks to online streaming service. so the more on this we want to go to our very own entertainment journalists, k j matthews. she is in los angeles, k j. it's good to see you. and i mentioned online streaming services to talk about that. i mean, what exactly do the writers want?

we know they want more more money, but go into details a little bit with this. well, just so everybody knows that the writer's guild always re negotiates their contracts every several years anyway. so this isn't really anything new. what is new at this time when they came to the table with the alliance of motion picture, television and producers? they were at a standstill. they could not come to a contract deal because the 2 sides are too far apart. on the one side, you have writer saying over the last couple of years, especially since you've seen other streaming platforms really do well, and they're seeing executives pay a skyrocket. they've noticed that overall, their pay has gone down. there's, they're saying 20 percent and that they're not being factor into this equation. so now what they're asking for is a greater percentage of those recent residuals when it comes to streaming. but also they want to increase the number of writers when it comes to certain network shows

. so overall they want their package to be, i just a little bit better. yeah. and we, we have seen on social media that, i mean, this is a, a fight that, you know, users of streaming services or viewers have to take seriously. or to take a look at this tweak right here. it reads hit them where it hurts, pay your writers or will spoil succession. i mean, the people, you know, they don't want succession to be stop. right? right. we all of succession but others want to do is bring it home to you. most people love that show is on hbo. we're always every single lease here in the states . we're saying, oh god, what's going to happen next? they just want you to understand how important every single thing that you see on television, especially the shows that you love, have to do with them and take it a little bit more serious. so, you know, you can always bring people into your argument and be more persuasive when you make it more relatable to them. and i think that's what that tweet was attempting to do and do it where it's headed from here. and i assume that there will be attempts

more and more talks with the writers guild. is that where we're headed? yeah, they're going to continue to talk. but for right now that we're on strike the most immediate impact, you're going to see our soap operas. and late night talk shows because they write their scripts the day before. so if writers are going to cross the picket line, then you're not going to see those shows in the long run when it comes to movies, motion pictures. i think a lot of films that we're going to be released this year in 2023. they've already been shot, so i don't get to worry about that. it's next year. they get to worry about when he comes to television shows a lot of the sitcoms. they already had their scripts written about 2 or 3 months in advance. but around the fall, like maybe november december, that's where you probably start getting your reruns. unfortunately, i mean, no new episodes of the younger the rest of the vote in the beautiful. i know some people like my mother who will be very upset to hear that it's time to follow.

trust me. yeah. yeah. they do, i believe to j. matthews in los angeles is always thank you. thank you. well, some of the biggest stars in fashion and entertainment have gathered in new york for the met gala this year. it honored the late fashion icon, karl lagerfeld, attendees sported looks that reflected his aesthetic the actor jared letter dressed as the designer's cat. and that retired in tennis, dar, serena williams used her moment on the red carpet to announce her 2nd pregnancy. see, we were wondering what she'd been doing lately, annual ball as a fundraiser for new york metropolitan museum of art was rianna right there. she was late by the way, getting there tennis now and at the madrid opened, defending champion. carlos alcaraz has cruised past german, 13 seed, alexander z as in straight sets to reach the quarter finals. 2 breaks,
