to lead disagree to each of the prime minister, maloney and zalinski was a very warm greeting when they met at the prime minister's office here in rome. after old miss maloney had travelled to ukraine less than 3 months ago, and the meeting between the 2 of them lost some 17 minutes. but didn't that media conference? we saw president lensky thanking it's lee and italians very much for this support. and also taking in those you create in refugees when, when the war broke out, you said that the russian aggression continues to today. and they clearly have no interest in peace at the moment. he thinks it's in the support as well for us to forcing are you creating a project into the european union as well as thinking usually for it's a vacuum of western sanctions against russia. and he even mentioned the issue about those children from ukraine who have been taken to russian territory,

calling football help for them to be re, patrick a to it and saying he hoped in general, that you created 2 children. can perhaps in september actually return to school, but of course we'll have to see how this conflict continues. miss maloney for her pots clearly said that she's not just looking for peace in ukraine, but a just and the piece was interesting that during the discussions with president martha rella as well. uh, he said that it was it, it was a 2 piece, a not a surrender by one side is what it actually is hoping for. of course, the presence of lensky also just met the pope frances at the back to come this afternoon. why that as well, it was important this meeting, in fact, many said that that was perhaps the most significant needs the events in pop because of the $86.00, the pontiff, on a recent trip to hungry on his return from that trip. he talked about a piece mission that was ongoing between where the vatican is playing,

mediate between 2 sides. now the ukranian authorities as well as the criminal both denied that such a thing was happening for the vatican, insist that that is taking place. now. it was a 40 minute long meeting between the 2 men of both francis we heard in some of those images that we saw thank to mr. the landscape pool this visit mr. lensky saying it was a great on us. and we understand from a statement released by the vatican that both sides talked about humanitarian efforts, the urgency to help the most fragile, and those innocent victims of this conflict. the pope o his father, a schwartz his constant prayerful piece. of course, we have seen him appealing for the faithful to pray for you crate almost every week since this war began. and so very much he likes to see himself as a media to just this week. he met to the outgoing russian and back to the to the

vatican. the tell a newspaper mister gerald saying that the vatican handed a letter to that investor to be sent to vladimir putin in russia. so really some movement on that part, we're not getting very many details about that, but we can't assume that that is what was discussed as the pope has made it very clear. he wants to see a piece and dialogue in this discussion. he's open to being immediate on both sides, but while he's met a president zalinski today, he has not yet met or spoken to the russian president. very, very interesting that seem a good reporting for us from ro. thank you so much. just email the diesel is now it's some of the other stories making use around the world. german defense minister boars. the story is announced to 2700000000 euros and fresh

job. we're likely to vote for the opponent tomorrow, so we just need different races and that's how we're going to get change. so, you know, even are the ones supporters will tell you. things have to change in that country. there's just disagreements about who can bring that change to church. and i was dw special correspondent at abraham, in a stumble, both as in tyler and also getting ready to go to the polls and the 1st election since the pro democracy protest of 2020 a government crackdown on the use of that movement made demonstrating too dangerous for many, but some of the protesters have shifted their focus from the streets to the ballot box at the hoping somebody selection will bring about change as a symbol of resistance as a match for workers rights and vancho. it's a familiar site for puts that are really trying to keep the ball upon knowing by hand nickname, mind. she was among the leaders of the 2020 pro democracy protests. now she's live streaming events like this one to tens of thousands of followers and adding them to
