the wind dials starts in the 19 dw, the . this is dw news lie from berlin, ukraine's president is welcomed in rome, italian presidents after a month at a low tales of a northern usa landscape. but italy is full by his side. also coming up volunteers at the world's biggest refuge account, one people to take shelter cox's bizarre as near the passive,

potentially devastating. so i closed lock up, expected to make land full on sunday. and to just the day before task is crucial, elections, dw speaks with those working to ensure that the voting process is free and fair. the hello monica jones, good to have you with us. your training president will let him use the landscape is in the italian capital rome i made. heavy security is now holding talks with prime minister george. i'm a lawyer who is one of you cranes strong. this back is in europe. earlier. he meant to be telling president who also offered his country support as you craig fights to free it's territory from the russian occupation lasers. the landscape will meet with pope frances provide account. 2 is this an excuse 1st official visits to italy

since russia invaded ukraine in february 2022 and i'm joined now by gentlest se my group in rome. see my good to have you with us . so for over a year of ultimate zalinski has been asking western governments to send more weapons. what can expect from the tell you in government as well? yeah, absolutely. right. i mean, be talents like there's other governments in the west, and you tell him to provide the weapons and money to the ukranian since the start of the war and have back those sanctions against russia all. but what we understand is that so what we're hearing for media reports is that miss maloney has essentially said that the military help will continue until they reach some kind of just peace. and that he said, she reiterating the message that the president said to my to rela, made a year to date, to mr. zalinski, that he is very much on the sides of the president and on the side of the ukrainian

people. now i think it's important for the talents to read, to read and stress this supports because let's not forget, well miss maloney has very strongly supported the ukrainians, right from the start of coalition hotness in government. then need us to be able to school need to form a prime minister as well as much of yourselves, any of the lead potty, both of them in the past to have been known to be close, close to russia and to the russian president vladimir putin. so essentially i think she wants to make sure that that support is that and mr. let's see, we can expect perhaps that he will make that clear once again, not just to miss maloney but to other european allies for those fight to jets, non right in time security. as you mentioned, very tied to your role for this visit. talking about that, please. uh, it will be difficult for him to repeat that please. when he is expected to meet the

pope of pope francis lazar today. why is he meeting him as well? po francis has said very clearly, right from the start of this invasion that he of, he's hoping for p c. once he's happy to be a mediator. he says he's open to dialogue for both sides. even though he's trying to create this situation that he's not willing to take sides, he has spoken not about the aggressor in russia and the right for ukraine to defend itself. now, he has also recently talked about a piece mission that the vatican is trying to do to mediate between the 2 sides. and just last month you had you created prime minister meeting with the pope when he was here in easley. talking to him about getting his help to re patrick, those ukrainian children. he have so some 19500 children from ukraine have been captured and brought to russia and russian control territory. and the purpose said he's willing to help. so it's interesting to see the composition to fit

a 1st face to face meeting between these 2 leaders since the last office and the same, a group that reporting from rome. thank you so much. the man hundreds of thousands of people of being evacuated from the meal knob on gladish border region as authorities prepare for sy clone woke up. the giant storm is predicted to make a land full in the area hosting the world's largest refuge account. that's in the band with dish the district of cox with as up in neighboring the a mom, any families from low lying villages and the rocky and states are already taken shelter at the monastery and the stage capital scituate, the well to me to were logical organization is one that floods and land slights are expected in the region. let's take a look now at why the refugees in cox bizarre, a particularly exposed to the dangers of the storm. around 1000000 people have

settled in this sprawling, makes shift camp. the vast majority of refugees and cox's bizarre are ro, heading to muslims, an ethnic minority who fled persecution in neighboring myanmar. most arrived in 2017 when the military launched a violent crack down. the settlement in bangladesh is overcrowded. homes are made from bamboo and plastic sheets, making them vulnerable to fires. the latest in march left thousands without shelter. the delta region is prone to psych loans floods and lance lights. the shanty structures offer residents little protection, access to clean water and sanitation is limited, allowing disease to spread rapidly in cramped quarters.

earlier this year, the world food program cut rations to the roe hinge, or refugees amid a donation. shortage, reports of violence are also on the rise as groups of by for control and the desperate conditions a cycle of trauma and danger for refugees in cox's bizarre and all this join storm is heading towards the camp, is expected to take land on sunday. and a respite to gentle this to mine will is long con, in dhaka, who told us that the already diet situation there is likely to get a lot was for the comes inhabitants. there's no these. uh, because obviously they cannot go to any list come in and get those. uh they have to stay inside, pick them up and inside the cab, i would say that in many places i did defy as a land slide. slips and not

a normal normal every season when there's a heavy day for the last last life happens and people get you into something. and now you see the beast i'm coming up. and of course there might have some big landfill falls. i last slide so um i say there is no big song step to intersect, that is the only living in 96. so i'm afraid i was talking to my colleagues in boxes visit this morning and that there had been there were also for assistance the way that these people would go. so they would take him to do it, asked to go to a safe place to high, high land somewhere where they can stay safe when the storm is strong. he's an additional look now at some of the other stories making use around the

world. israel has, he's gone so with the strikes on such a day of the militant slide rotates to what's the southern x ram is the 5th day of fighting that has claimed at least such he lies all but one of them punched in in egypt as pressing a hedge with mediation efforts for gaza, but the truth remains elusive. german defense minister boris the story is announced 2700000000 euros and fresh military 8 for ukraine. the package will include 20 more mazda infantry fighting vehicles, such as elect code, one tags for air defense systems. the story is said, the position again shows germany is serious and its support of key if against russia, some question authority diplomats this a representative. so don's working policies will resume talks on sunday. top of the agenda is implementing deal reach the best day to the bush, a monetary, an age and remove trips from civilian areas. but as strikes and artillery,

a sold continued off to the 2 sides failed to agree a ceasefire to talking now, which is gearing off for land small collections on sunday that could end president richard type ad once more than 2 decades. impala opinion polls give his challenge. k, my teenage donald low, a narrow lead, but they're off. is that ad? one might not accept the feet at the poles, dw is aya. abraham has more walking through the streets of assembled. you can't miss that. this country is gearing up for an election the most significant in its recent history. president richard tire, or the one piece is what is arguably the biggest challenge of his 20 year tenure. he could be seated by this man, come out to the whoever wins, faces, massive expectations from turkish voters. you'll, we live in

a country where we do not feel good about the justice system, the refrigerants, cuz we know that they're stuck in here. they're not going to the euro, and we keep that the quick response will be on my mind when i cast my vote and you're no question. i get a drink. i also want the people i choose to be receptive to criticism, to listen to our criticism. and not put us in jail for its musical mother. and the stewardess is good, i'm dreaming of a country where everyone can express their ideas freely where they can get an education, where they will not want to leave the country where they will be happy to live in turkey. wherever the economy is better. and where we have students have better lives and don't have to look at the prices of everything. be fine. if you can't, we young people in turkey do not have economic prosperity and we don't get the education we deserve. talk you through with the volumes. they're also concerned that in the case of a narrow difference in both president or the 1 may not accept defeat is ruling

a key party has previously challenged election results, but did not go in its favor claiming voting irregularities with a stick. so high, there are fears that that scenario might play out again on may 14th the people who in this room are working day and night to avoid error guarantees at the ballot box . they are election monitoring volunteers receiving training from or if they are testing and geo dedicated to spreading democratic culture to all turkish citizens. regardless of political affiliation this year, when political polarization is on the rise, we think people need a legal basis to go back to and to discuss things in a peaceful way. that is how we act. that is what we teach temperature today. and then there's just this year alone, the n g o says it has trained around a 100000 volunteers to safeguard the integrity of turkey's election. in total,

over half a 1000000 volunteers are expected to monitor votes across the country, showing that despite disagreements over who should have the top jobs, the people of turkey are united in their belief. that change can come through the ballot box. just ball of slow and this week, ukrainian athletes, a boy quoting the world to do the championships and counter because the sports is allowing russians on beller russians to compete under a neutral flag following ukraine's boy called the international judo federation. bought a members of russia squad were believed to be active soldiers. now it's via that similar chaos could across various bullets of next use paris olympics. the ukranian athletes have won their fair share of titles and the sport of judo. some in the prime of their careers are now putting principles the head of any potential prize by staying on the sidelines during the judo world championships in cutoff.

yeah, it was interesting, but i understand that this was the chance to in the middle that the moment i'm very upset by the fact that we're missing the world championships and kept tough for me, which i totally support the decision. ukraine's position is clear. they want all russian and bella rosie an athlete, banned from international sporting events, neutral flags, or not bigger until then ukraine will refrain from every competition that welcomes those athletes. it's just that there's no whole weight and boycotting if he participates in competitions with them. if we talk with them, if we meet them a mattress or an race tracks and swimming pools in the world to be convinced that everything is fine, the war is not going on. but the war is happening. every day people die every day. there's lots of destruction. next years games in paris could see athletes from russia and bella roost, compete as neutral there. and where with this leave ukrainian athletes presumably

on the sidelines, once more standing on principles. if you're watching the book, you don't even use a reminder of our top stories to create depress it is a lot of miscellaneous case holding talks in bro, with each county prime minister, georgia minority who is one of the grand strongest back, is in europe latest the landscape will meet with pope frances after that you're up to date now and it takes show shift is coming up. next. i'm going to jones for me as a team of the then thanks for watching the winning offer is available and for every language.
