to get in, but no one opened it. a rocket or debris fell dying and people were killed. was this is a little bit, you know, i lost my why, he keeps me a seed investigations were underway into why a medical facility bomb shelter in the area was locks debris, rain down during the bombardment, injuring and killing residents. young girl and her mother are among the deed a lot. so they were run here to hide, but it was closed. unfortunately, we was tending outside. here's the medical clinic. i mean, there's the, came to got them or she felt just between them many k residents, a tired and anxious after weeks of sleepless nights, listening to the sound of sirens and explosions. this was the 18th attack on the capital since the status of my a waste and allies had provided you. crane with advanced air defense systems and

recent months improving its ability to feed off bombardments by the kremlin t c. that shot down old teen miss south launched by russia on tuesday. moscow has denied targeting civilians, but russia has repeatedly hit residential areas with the tex intensifying in recent weeks. so as of us, all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the russian defense ministry says that it has prevented and attempted cross border, encouraging from ukraine into the region of belgrade. the regional governor says at least 8 people were injured there during the shelling of the town of shape they came down to more were hurt. when a drone crouched, resident had been moved the temporary shelters. the united nation says he is worried about a decrease in the number of ships leading ukrainian ports to deliver great praises

that russia is blocking the black sea green export deal, which was struck last july to help tactful a global food crisis that was exacerbated by the war, russia says that the u. n. is failing to implement the the war in ukraine. it is high on the agenda as foreign ministers from the bricks group of nations gather in cape town, south africa. a briggs is made up of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. the group will also discuss the admission of new members as it seeks to expand its global influence. earlier today, south africa's foreign minister welcomed her russian counter part. but there is uncertainty over whether russian president vladimir putin will be welcome. when the break summit takes place in johannesburg in august, the russian president, you may remember, it's the subject of a board crimes arrest warrant that was issued by the international criminal court.

the dw corresponding privilege most fund here is in cape town. i asked him how big a shadow the russian president's potential august visit is cast. it does cost a big shadow over this meeting. i think if you look at what has been happening, the discussions and, or the price of the little being that has been happening before this meeting. he installed off, he got it up, his costs a big send over this meeting. and you find that if you look at the, even the old position here in, um, so that the guy that the d a has filed a court of um, action to stop a prison put needs to be admitted all the step or not. so that we can so it was and then the other thing is if you look at even the up to be switched around. thing up

uh, uh, pressure on, uh so that'd be good. not to meet a prison. unfortunately, we saw even at the meeting, what it is, it was going on there, there was a group of funds, ukrainian association. and so that to go with, with picketing at the meeting as well. uh, calling for um the re 10 or fi ukrainian children, that's way. unfortunately, they pointed to russia. so these sit in the shadow that is me costs to on this meeting because of the visit they intended to visit by prison. unfortunately in august improvement, don't let me just ask you, you know, what are you hearing there is out the advocate mean, do people want the russian president to, to be able to come for this summit or do they think if he comes, he should be arrest or they use a division if that is so that's again ruling government, the n c,

the rolling party have come out in support of uh uh, having present for me to come to south africa. they have uh, they are ready to roll the roll, the red carpet for him. the n f f, one of the opposition parties they've given, supported and said they were prepared to as quote, the russian president, the viet rides in the country. but on the other hand, some people are saying that they are quite, uh, a, you know, a g 30 about this causing, is that, so that's the got it having with the russia. so they use kind of a division into it when it comes to the opinion about that coming off of prison for the next to the august the assignments. and we know that not a single member of the brakes group has participated in economic sanctions against russia since the board in ukraine. b began it. has there been any change in any of those policies?

and we heard anything coming from from the meeting that took place today of the briefings that we attended of you could not say so that's all the members of the brakes that they, i, citing away from talking about even this issue about the present put me coming to so i'll actually go in, even if the issue of the i c c. what on so far as they would, i think questions that were being thrown to them. so there is some kind of plumber and ship that is being maintained by the brakes. members that are attending the meeting here, they were kind of trying to shy away from all these questions and addressing what even questions that are being fielded on them in terms ofa, what is being discussed. the international use privilege was one here reporting tonight. the latest from cape town, privileges,

where he's seen at the main challenger to president mackie saw the president's critics saying his ambitions for a controversial the term in office. the heart of the action against some cold, for the government denies using the judiciary to suppress of position. the street flashes that have accompanied this rate case of threatening political stability and set a goal, which has long been considered one of africa's leading beacons of democracy. and the ruling against this month's uncle will only few of the flames be business duties up. next i'll see you tomorrow. the guardians of truth. my name is john dean and i have paid almost every price of being enjoying this in a country like to tease.
