it says, approved and will instead join the summit via video. so let's get more of the story from our corresponding privilege, most fund harry joining us from cape town. privilege. there's been lots of speculation over whether putting would in fact in to attend in person. how did south africa come to this decision? so a lot for guy has had to call into the cost of having put me stepping on the south african slaves. i think what would happen is that if putting it was to step on. so that's again. so as i've seen the amount of diplomatic pressure that has been coming into the cost of fucked him coming to south africa already the economy was feeling the pinch. you saw that land was also, you know, going up and down from the time this or war issue has been under discussion. so

i think so after that has had to then come to the cost of having the russian prison coming to south africa in what it would cause in the dummies that to build cause in terms of is relations internationally. that's right. it hasn't faced both internal and external criticism over that decision to invite putting in the 1st place. i did this pressure effect the government's decision. do think such a lead to a large extent is looking all the time from may even when the us disclose that in russian vessel was suspected they have loaded weep, ones the uh, the to go to russia in south africa. you, we, if we have not, is that, you know, this price of that is been mounting even from the international circles. all these incidents is running up to this period. they have had to contribute to all this

pressure that is been mounting on. so the for the go, the other thing is that, so that for go, wants to be seen is neutral in terms of the ukraine. well, it is playing and the get it going to go see it to him, puts in there for having the russian president coming to the last week. it would then give a negative perspective in terms of the role it is trying to play in negotiating for peace. and then we also know that south african presidents are, i'm opposed to, had asked for mission from the i, c. c. not to arrest russia's president food in because to do so with them onto the declaration of war. what more can you tell us about this to what is emerging from the i c w that's present about my posts. i've filed in response to the court challenges that was brought by the main organization punch again. so i think the d a, what is imagine is that you said that it would, yes,

amounts to declutter, as you know, for some of the web. um, you know, with that is coming in is that in some of the resi and will feel is, was saying that it would amount to the degree, the flattering war if the russian president was going to be addressed a vessel in terms of bucks fits security president or on my post a say that it was going to present it settings in terms ofa of national security installed. i forgot therefore the doors of some of the details that emerging from the courts. papers that you filed from a bit of a pause in response to the position of parts of stalin's in court. thank you very much for that update that's privilege was in here. in cape town. was been a 2nd night of what ukraine described as a hellish, a real, a soles by rush on the city of odessa home to ukraine's primary grain shipment port

in the black sea. according to the cities military administration. this recent attack was quote, powerful and very massive, ukraine's at the port green and the oil terminal has been damaged, most kind of described the previous attack on the death of the day before as a mass revenge strike in response to caves attack on the bridge connecting russia with crime you. error rates were also heard in other parts of ukraine, with a drone attack reported on the capital key. let's get more from our correspondent, nick connelly and keith nick. it tell us more about what's happened in odessa. how extensive is the damage? this was shoot, this was the 2nd night of the strikes against odessa. the biggest single attack on the cities tend to be a war, according to the authorities that we understand. they use lots of different types of cruise missiles at the same time making the seeing the different difficult for ukraine. the defense is to down those missiles. we understand that the damage in

the pool is pretty massive. there's 2 of meetings here is to repair the damage done in some parts, support up to 50 percent of the grain storage capacity destroyed. and thankfully, not so much in the way of civilian victims is a talk so far of 6 injuries, but no casualties for now. but said this was really, really serious attack on ukraine's kind of you can only black blood in israel force equivalence. you have the russians saying that because your brain attacked a bridge that was used for transporting ministry supplies to crime in to something ukraine. we're not going to attack a green terminal that is used to send food from your brain to around the world. you know, after scrapping a grain export still, russia has said that cargo ships headed to ukrainian ports on the black sea are going to be regarded as a possibly carrying military cargo. that doesn't sound good, does it? well certainly this is most go up in guarantee. up till recently, we'd heard people like mutual best called puts in spokes person saying that russia

couldn't guarantee the safety of trading ships going to ukraine, pull some speculation, maybe they would be minds. but this is effectively saying, any ship that goes anywhere near desa or near the ports near it will likely be attacked by russian ships that had been hopes here in ukraine. that would be some kind of solution to maybe even without a full scale grain deal at some kind of 3rd party mediation. some kind of outside ships to protects convoys of green ships coming in and out would enable the continuation of the working sense of the pricing of what's been in place for the last year. that now seems to be off the table and your grades are scrambling to look for alternatives. there's talk of trying to ship more through the danube river and into romania. why the boat so safe? but none of that has anywhere near the capacity needed. and i think we're going to really see green prices spiking as it becomes clear that this grand deal is i will enter the debt. and nick, while i have them here, we also have russia reporting a fire at a military base in antics crime. yet it's forcing evacuations. can you give us an

update on the latest there? so it is as pretty as boss, but we have lots of images of the plumes of smoke, huge seeming a blaze going on. this according to brain media was a russian, munitions dump. someone they were supplying the troops and something ukraine from somewhere. that was a place where, you know, lots of that it just takes web based. this was quite far away. this in the fall east of crime, in some say further than 250 kilometers away from the nearest ukrainian controlled area. which means that ukraine potentially has received more western built the christmas cells with a longer range them was previously thoughts. a lot of excitement about that here in your credit is the real sense that alternately trying to storm those russian positions that are often very well defended with minds that ukraine does not have to return to instruct sheet of last year of basically attracting the residential and trying to deprive racial troops of weapons of munitions and also attacking those bridges in hope that eventually they will run out of ammo and also be forced

to withdrawal before they all encircled and totally out of out of out of the weapon . so i sense that you frame is changing a strategy, and potentially new weapons are labeling to hit new targets corresponding nicole in key. thank you so much. i as well as ukraine's counter offensive enters a 2nd month. officials concede is going slower than expected. but some progress has been made to the biggest territorial games for ukraine has been near the leacock no for silvo, south, west of. and that's where ukrainian forces have liberated for villages dw, special. corresponding abraham was one of the few reporters given access to the area where she found out why people are so reluctant to return this village is one of the 1st to create has taken back from russia, and it's counter offensive. it's coldness coaching a, which means not boring and ukrainian today that feels like

a cruel joke. this coach, they used to be home to about 700 people. now there's nothing for them to come back to the board, which is a to see the pains me to see this because they used to be live here because it just, you know, the united voters push the sometimes it's hurts even to seize the land, the land is constantly being torn apart by showing no smoke out. the nature suffers, people suffer the country suffers ever since that is a live stuff. is there ever since socrates, the system of the as we're filming, we experience why no one's coming back. as russian troops are treated the mind to really look like we have to move fast. the russians are constantly firing. what i was about to say was that the russians mind the whole village as well as their positions on the front lines. this strategy means every step of the territory, ukrainian troops,

we gain is paid for it with black. this is the town of villa, kind of us. ok. the russians never got this far, but we're just a 5 minute drive from this coaching here. a successful counter offensive can't come fast enough. this time of year this police would normally be bustling with life families and people just enjoying the sunny day. but now there's just absolutely nothing left. there's barely a building intact. the sound of artillery here is just relentless. it just does not stop. really kind of a silica is one of the closest towns to the front lines with civilians still living in it. it had a pre war population of about 7000. now locals, tell me there are just a few 100 left. tatiana is one of them. will storms cause this era? july? i was born here like this is where my story begin. how can i leave go my ancestors

abroad here? is this my city of which one? why should we give up ukraine inland as we speak? sounds of artillery. tatiana doesn't even flinch. be supposedly social. acosta, which we have a red, adaptive somehow. like there is some kind of mutation in our board is we don't, we have to explosions like that anymore. you know, she loves everyone loves celia tissue. we, there's no electricity here. no running water, no shooting and no shops. this volunteer who brings food in twice a month is a crucial lifeline. of course nuclear some here have nowhere to go. some have disabled people at home to some pen shanice who accepted it. they might be killed here. we kind of leave them nice. it all got left her hometown in the dawn bass in 2014, after russian back separatists took over. she liters settled in very kind of a silica this is what remains of the house. she and her husband worked for 8 years

to build. they finished it just days before the full scale invasion has been show twice. i'm sorry. it was the one to live 2 weeks with my husband did older pass it with his own hands . like you did everything every week. you to on february 22nd to late this law. in february 22nd, we finished to this room. the list of the children's room was already done that digital and she made this last year with her 8 year olds. oh the oh it still works is that this is how we celebrated the year 2022 as a family in our house course in the rest of our to closing those. every time i come

back, a discount on my hobb deepens to sign the city. but to be a staying strong, august says she believes she'll repair her house and that ukraine will rebuild. but for that to happen, they need victory on the battlefield. the sooner the better we can take a look now what some other world news headlines ukraine's a central european neighbors are calling for a band on ukrainian cream and ports to be extended to the end of the year. in may, the u. allowable guerria, hungry, poland, romania and slovakia to block domestic sales of ukrainian grain to protect their local farmers. the band is set to end in mid september. in kenya, protesters have clashed employees in the capital, nairobi the police fire, and tear gas shows to qual, protests over a finance bill that increase taxes and prices of fuel. at least 15 people have been
