evacuation method? uh hello. thank you. uh right now our location teams are working in the system region from dish. the 1st moment that uh these disaster happens. and yes, it's a hard showing they, by the russians do, palm beach or song despite all, for all our efforts to increase to the labs from this disaster. now, presidency landscape has switched to some international aid groups for doing too little and being too slow. do you agree with the most important sports international organizations should really do. now, it's a to help to get access to the left bank to the 5 territories. it's real human 7 disaster because people, a lot of people, there elderly people without access to drinking water, which they as do are there and they do not have any chance to be to be just a ride. in fact, now we've heard a lot about the dangers off of floating land mines and dislodged amunition. how

real is that danger and has anything happened yet? uh uh its uh this. uh, daniel, is it real uh low just loved ones. are off located in the wall church, answer the so if, if the cost of a lot of, of this on or it's me, it's a fact to lots of depth and the mining it. so the biggest problem right now in the print, but you see within the amount of water is it really puts a visa, a model flows in length lines as the biggest challenge of recreating and wrestlers for healthy actually paying us to be the ones who us do uh, streaming uh, english villages, areas. so what do people need right now? oh, if speaking about needs. so right now its are and we need your most affordable uh for uh to survive and fax us,

uh what the forms. and these are the most of us and the substitute box together with age we need a lot of a drinking of water because of the call region is the without. and also the prices in drinking water in the uh, for example, in the class region where a lot of of, of police are going very stu, it's a vocation tray and so i'm just wanting to go out. but in the glove there was so many uh, oddities right now that it needs a lot of uh, fluids which are hi jim. everything that's necessary for survival. and so yes, this is the biggest challenge is also there are challenges to establish new a collective centers for a police view on the on. so by that, thank you very much from the organization of all stock s o s. thanks a lot think it's not as good a more on this with my montana senior will studies a fellow at king's college in london. my dad has been continually selling in cash

on slots of the areas, even as people are being of actuated, is a rough attempting to seize this valuable moment to re type tests on. so i know that's not what i doing, but what they are doing is impeding the rescue efforts on the kind inside makes it much more difficult for them means they have to spend more time and more result days. thinking about that, and this is time obviously that their officials could be using to think about how to conduct the counter offenses. so it's a distraction. it is designed to slow you try and now is either side, gaining any advantage from the situation that was created by the time breach. uh no, not really. um, i think actually the russians intended it for it to be a smaller breach. then it is it's, it's wiped out quite a lot of russian positions, both sides or having to expend part a lot of effort. we've heard from your correspondent will the f,

as the credit is happens, make the civilians and the russians that happens re position quite a lot of that troops cause the bank that they were on the left bank. the southern bank was low and so is greatly affected by the federal. so now russia act, i'm stuff beaten back several major offensive in the last days while ukraine is, once again denied, it has already lost its counter offensive. how much strategy is there already in this rather mixed messaging or so my understanding of the situation is that south of zachary's at that is a ukrainian thrust. and we've seen some of that. for example, german leper tags used to. it's one amongst 3, or 4 or 5 different areas where the ukraine's attacking but that, that particular area, which i think you're referring to, is several lines of russian defensive lines. the trenches mine fields onto tank

ditches and in those areas that happen. the training was assaults that haven't been particularly successful, but most of we expect them to be i'm, this is the beginning of a major offensive and that will be points of which you training bagels, get destroyed, is really to the to tell. so we're day into this sort of major activity, se operation and things will unfold over the next week or 2, mike mazda in the, in london. thank you very much, mike. thank you. tom know to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. today. the us has pledge to send little 5 fights as to aid canada, which is baffling. wildfire us coast smoke has drifted across north america, the smoke as broad, unhealthy equity to the us, north east and midwest. countries around the world, including australia and mexico in front of sent more than

white house. here in washington, this feels like a departing sort for a new phase of donald trump trying to shape a narrative in rock. the historic moment is the 1st time that a for president is being indicted for a federal crime which could indeed have serious consequences. this will take months to really play out, but it stacks up the proceedings that are happening against him for real. he already has court proceedings waiting for him over the house money payments, basically hiding the accounting behind them. that would be coming up within the election here. and the big open question right now is whether the trump can be successful in spinning further. this narrative where he claims that he is a completely innocent mind that all of this is a witch hunt. and just shortly after the indictment here became public. he said

that this basically was just something designed to manipulate an election that is still one and a half years away and where he isn't even already nominated as a candidate for the republican. so he's trying to spend this narrative. on the other hand, this may be in the end too much for his support, is a set of republicans still support him. no massive watts, but that might not be enough if the serious charges and indictments keep mounting ahead of 2024. and there's crucial elections that could see him face off with joe biden, once again, a very like some other reporting from washington on just before we go, let's have a quick look at the grids, newest off critic, the officially intelligent critical t 9. as it's cold. use as a camera and artificial intelligence to analyze all flex scrutinizes forms,
