which is serving as a trends that region. and we have teams from the international rescue committee here in odessa, supporting evacuees and internally, the space people here in the, in odessa and shelters and community centers providing home for the effective people. and tell me, what are the most pressing needs for these people who are moved out or refusing to leave? what do they need? and of course, food and water is the number one uh, necessity that people are dealing with. and there is a very good coordinated response happening for us at the international rescue committee. we're focusing on our protection activities, which means we are providing legal aid to evacuate to its people advising them, how to access to social services and how they can deal with the law regarding their ownership of their houses and how they can access reparations. also,

we are currently in her sons city, providing multi purpose cash expense. probably this is one of the best solution in this such an emergency where the have people effective scan with the best thing that you can access supports with us on the ground. and julia and the archie has access to the ukranian side of the disney pro river. but what do we know about how people are faring on the russian side? as we have been dealing with this scenario, since the very beginning off to war access is almost impossible. there's only a handful of smaller organizations that have very, very restricted access to some areas. but we know that there are high level talks happening that are constantly failing. it is one of the biggest problems and it's very serious, violation of international humanitarian law that you monitor inactive. do not have

access to these territories. they almost have 0 information. we've been hearing some uh organization trying to do the evaluation and trying to send supports out of the 650 square kilometers which is currently flooded. and this is a number. if the current gates add the dam still hold, if those would be failing to we're talking almost almost $1000.00 square comments that would be flooded. most of it is actually on currently unaccessible areas. we as the i, r c are unable to access those. they are the asked for now, and it is up to, to 0 information that we have from the authorities on the other side of dramatic situation. juliano ste, aquino, vice rapid response coordinator at the international rescue committee. thank you so much. ukrainian president, reloading their zalinski has confirmed that counter offensive operations against russian forces are underway. you did not go into detail,

but you craning brigade re released these pictures which it says show its forces liberating the community of blackwood. daphne, indeed, and yet screeching, these images haven't been independently verified. both keys and moscow report intense fighting and ukraine's after reesha region. more in this report, ukraine's on a fight zone in the fields close to document. this is one of many flushed points along the vast front line. the speaking during a visit by canadian prime minister just, i'm trimmed go ukrainian, president blood to me is a landscape, appeared to confirm the counter offensive is under way of prevention and sick to wash lewis. it is important that russia always feels that they don't have much time left for them in my opinion. and then while you're doing content in those counts

who offensive and defensive actions that taking place in ukraine in which stage it will not say in detail. and it will door to define an alias. russian president vladimir putin. yeah. but the said the ukrainians would definitely mounting a counter offensive rush also released several videos proposing to show the damaged ukrainian military equipment including these drone images of a gem and made elected to tongue and several us fighting vehicles abandoned or destroyed ukrainian, the types of also being reported, value can notice ok, an all here in the south. some report suggests they may have made limits of gains as ukrainian units try to break through russian defenses

and former military intelligence officer frank language gave us is analysis of ukrainian forces strategy. it does seem that that the findings doing quite well so far as making progress, as the report said, they're making progress, the closing separation, which is the blessed in the south of your brain. the populace that leads to crime may have a buck in september general's other speakers. the collaborative chief, if you pray me about, forces made it very clear. and fedex, specifically that the center of gravity of our operations, of these comprehensive operations, big full grab it for months will be crime yet. so the objective of the operational level is to hold it risk crime in or the to be take it, but i suspect the deadline stop at a point by they could be they range to, to hold it. risk russian base is that then it goes to the 2nd strategic objective,

which is just to stay less than support and to stay in the fight. and so this is really roughly rushing that leads. and most of what we're seeing, according to very, very critical commentators is, is it's a very obvious change in the atmosphere of moscow because they realize that none of the objectives of will have been attained. not so obvious to anybody in the rest of the needs are not stupid, but what they're also beginning to, to, to fit is, is some level of the planning success which they see happening. and that success, cussing of crime, and from the right from russia would be tub and go to the base even have coast cause instability to very great, great 1. 1 of the thing on a cup, the syria, big feet of you, craig, is a collapse of the russian army, the consequent pups of, of the regime. after that, ukraine will take its place in central eastern europe. lots the fear of the russian lead since very few, very obvious. now that was former military intelligence officer, frank language,

talking to my colleague monica jones earlier. here's a look now at some of the other big stories making headlines around the world. to ted kaczynski, otherwise known as the uno bomber has died in the us jail, aged 81. he was sentenced to life without parole, and 1998 after pleading guilty to killing 3 people and injuring 23 others as part of a 70 year long bombing spray. the harvard educated mathematician evaded capture for 2 decades. former us president donald trump has made his 1st public appearance since being indicted on $37.00 charges over his handling of classified documents. he hit the campaign trail at a republican state convention in georgia, trump, who is still the front runner for his party. domini tardies nomination for the 2024 election denies any wrong doing under as, as officially opened an embassy in china months after the central american nation cut diplomatic ties. we tie one thing down. the foreign ministers of china in

the 3 little siblings were able to survive by her side with a capital. so, and also with her knowledge of the jungle. going to be dollars going to go to see meet with them being that i said above the children age from $1.00 to $13.00 survived in the rain forest for 40 days of to the small plane that were traveling in crashed on the 1st of may. the 3 adults on board died in the crash, including the children's mother. columbia is government launched, a massive search operation made up of soldiers and volunteers from indigenous tribes. throughout the search rescue is dropped to food parcels into the jungle. but the children also manage to find edible fruits and seeds to sustain them. the story of survival has gripped columbia. malls

may we continue to believe in hope and in our army and our police, and also in society. how we all collaborate for good news with those, but i don't know where none of these are, but the rescue effort is not quite as well. a military dog named wilson went missing during the search. the army says he was key to tracking down the children. they say they're still looking for wilson, and that no one will be left behind. time for sports now and we turn to tennis and a gosh the on taking deep caroline in which of a to win the french open in paris continuing her reason dominance at the grand slam tournament. the roles would cost clearly ahead of this final ego. she don't say well number 12 time went out and heavy favorites initially followed the script from the off taking the 1st set 6 to of the 22 year old one the told him in the last year and in 2020 bucks under the bible wasn't going to make things easy,
