we simply don't know the 2nd i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shake or salt. so let's see. uh, we'll see what uh, what, what the facts are. and it's, it's really hard to comment or speculate on this without really, really knowing what the facts are. moscow has threatened to retaliate against ukraine, making residents of keys worried for the safety. they might try attacking the strength to take on takes you with decisions are made in cuba. you're killing me. you do my chair. let's put them in science again. we need to remain in safety and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. for now, put and remain safe. moscow announced that he will take part in a scheduled world war to victory day parade on the red square next week.

and we have team coverage time drawn by my colleague d, w, be our chief in riga river shadow and 5 correspondent in economy who is in t. welcome to both of you, your. i'll begin with you. tell us a little bit more about the reaction with in russia, from the government, and among the general population to the kremlin claims of a drone attack. while sarah was a graduate of use, this isn't a plant act of terrorism and an attempt on president put in slice carried out just a few days before the 3 days in may 9 period, which is we have to keep in mind. one of the most important days, even though to the most important, the in russia and, and which, or which also for in guest expected to be present um, must go reserves to divide, to retaliate when and to where it sees fit. it's that the company's books meant best call didn't specify what executive this means, but some of the hawks were official reactions could probably give some clarity or sense from a permit is the problem. it is the end president verity of demanded vote. is it

physically removal of ukraine in president polanski est to do my deputy from russia and next try me a cold even for a nice sized strike on valencia's residence. state to do must be careful logged in cold for the also it is the key to be recognized as a temp of as busy. and finally, as a well known competitor discussed off ski, one, this was a visa is a reason to find the cause of what the special needs of the ration as in steel, official, the cold in russia. so that's the reaction in russia. nick, we heard the reaction in ukraine. so lensky strongly deny any ukrainian involvement . what is the response now in teeth to moscow's threat of retaliation? see for the ukrainians, responded with a flood of means means on social media. i think there's no sense here, but ukrainians, a kind of shoppable, sort of nuclear weapons. russian doesn't really have any new tricks up its sleeve. we've seen it all before, right. the beginning of the world. those threats to destroy ukraine's government's

institutions to attack students. keep personally that all didn't materialize thing . what they all scared about here is if russian managed to convince lots of countries in europe that may be where bit lukewarm about supplying ukraine with weapons. that this is a dangerous situation. that there's a risk of kind of complication escalation that might be used by rest to try and kind of brow beat. what's the support of ukraine's reducing that support? that is something that definitely worried about him. yury, if not ukraine, what could be behind the ledger drone attack? well, in russia is it all for you and even close? the stipulations, of course, of the symbolic powell visa tax is obvious, cetera. it's happened in the middle of most school buses of gramlin, a few days before he threw the ends in middle to the right. given all this, a symbolism, all the theories, it could have been the intelligence service. and for example, themselves ration of intelligence. the rest of themselves who carried all to these attacks, we must keep in mind that the image damage is greater than maybe any of the potential

secret targets. on the other hand, the question is why does that optional sorted has immediately called the attack and association, the attempt of president gluten? obviously they are pursuing propaganda and possibly diplomatic goals. according to one of the you and conventions to the have of any state enjoys international protection, even though the international criminal court in the heck issued an iris door and for put him, he remains to the current had of state and a person under the national protection via for russia made demands to hold a meeting of the on security council and adopt a resolution condemning the attack on the kremlin before we go next russian. meantime, launching a pre dawn attack on key for the 3rd time in 4 days. tell us a little bit more of the parties here, according to most major attack in terms of the kinds of systems because of his health insurance at this way be stuck when you print capital since the beginning of the year. certainly it was very, very loud. most of time here in the center of key, if you don't have a great deal of those sounds pretty far away. but certainly i and most people i

know in this part of town in the center, woke up with a thought in about half past 2 in the morning and certainly friends and colleagues across the city. well heard some of the loud noise. and so the idea is that these with several strikes attempted strikes of, i'm assuming a style and by ukrainian defense systems. but there is to cool, so not just of those normal ringing drones and become part of everyday life here. but also ballistic missiles being used for trips out very hard to intercept that things did happen. and we heard what sounds last sounded like bits of debris falling to the ground. golf too. it's kind of sound like buckles being thrown on the ground. so that certainly was a reminder that russia still has a lot of these results. but you're also, this is nothing new. and i think, you know, there is very little chance the russians now to try and kind of browbeat ukrainians because they have already thrown all the stuff at ordinary ukrainians for the past year and several months now. the w as an economy and keep your shadow in where you go. thank you so much to both of you and we turn now to the war and so

down the conflict has generated a refugee crisis that threatens the entire region. egyptian authority say that some 40000 student needs have crossed the border into egypt in the past 2 weeks. but making it to safety is not the end of the journey for those laying the war. they have to find ways to survive a country battling a severe economic crisis. dw spoke with one young woman who made it from cartoon to cairo, buses and trucks arrive at the egyptian suit in these border full of people fleeing the violence and sedan. some will have to wait in the hot sun for days before they are allowed to enter egypt. but not everyone is here legally. 15 year old maria was smuggled through the egyptian border with her mother and sisters their journey last of 10 days. and they had to leave her 2 brothers and her father behind and car to kind of love to be there. and there was

a lot of shootings and pack it up for next door. neighbors were headed with bands for that that a lot of people were injured and as a follow up to the we slide with our neighbors and many other people that left that model, number of not the reason our carts and hurt someone calling, smuggling, smuggling. and then we got in the car and we paid down another hook on the pedal. mario mentor family remained homeless in cairo for a few days until they were found by a mol russell. she runs in and g o that assist homeless, displaced people with housing, medical treatment, and psychological support. and we're trying to help people that do not have relatives or acquaintances here in their conditions are difficult. they've been true or little from some of the families we've taken to get registered and you and hcr were given appointments in 6 months. if the that's a long time in that time the displaced person could be taken advantage of. there

are many dangerous like organ trafficking in child labor because according to egyptian authorities, more than 40000 sudanese have crossed into egypt over the past 2 weeks. but their journey doesn't end when they arrive. the many do not have relatives or money and are dependent on 8 organizations. others like mary and her family are waiting to be re united with their loved ones land. last and we have no idea what's going to happen to us in egypt. we don't know if we're going to settle here or not, and this is the last, the little amount of so that we have to wait for the whole family to be here. i say no, i'm worried, they won't come by you and i won't be able to work here. don't read it. and is that the and the still i will get us done. it was that did said maria, i'm hope she and her family will be able to return home soon. and for more,

let's bring in that the she had a canadian journalist who was covering events in sudan from cairo math. we're already seeing hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing from sudan to egypt. how many have crossed into egypt, and what is the situation there? i mean, a couple of days ago, the junction authorities set that about 40000 people had crossed into egypt. and that number is probably, you know, relatively higher now, hard to speculate at this time in terms of the conditions. they're not great. i mean, they're better than it is on the border. that's probably the case where people are still dying in the border, waiting for 6 days to get in. part of them are very much water food and or shelter . so that, that is right now does a catastrophic area. but then once people get in, it really depends on what their, their networks accordingly. a lot of studies have relatives here may might have um, you know, uh, also long standing friends or, or, or blood can, as i was saying and,

and as a result of that, that makes the transition, obviously a little bit easier. others might have done work here university here in the past. so there is a familiarity with the place, but then you have maybe many others that are maybe more vulnerable and then the more gone for what spend all their money to get here. for most of it and they don't have that support network and then we could absolutely see just, you know, extreme bar ability on that side. just due to, you know, the lack of human rights groups here. you know, really just, i think a lack of protection system that the egypt should authorities provide. okay. quite frankly, for egypt themselves. and if you could just also bring us up to date about what's happening inside sudan itself. and in particular, how high the truth the hopes are for a possible truth lasting to yeah, no. hi. um not, not, not high at all. uh, you know,

violence has erupt it since the so called 7 days shows has been taking place. um, i think both of these generals have learned, you know, from uh, a lot of, uh, western talking points. and, and, and um, you know, the, the western um use of liberal language in order to create a small cover for things that they're actually doing. so commit to cease fires, those saying that the despairing civilians, they'll say that this is a quest for democracy. and and unfortunately the reality speaks much louder than words where both of them are responsible for killing more civilians and then undermining any aspirations. democracy in the future. journalist mat in a, she'd reporting from cairo. thank you so much. thank you so much bye. and finally, mexico's army has welcome to the arrival of a new puppy from turkey following the death of
