or correspondence. maria cuts a mazda sent this report from the armenian town, of course, about 50 kilometers from the border. the cars stops with piles of belongings arriving in armenia. each day, the number of refugees grows, leaving the gardener, cordova increasingly empty. when either by john to control of newborn of her boss, last week, most of the ethnic armenians decided to leave their homes. they believe they were in danger of ex termination, despite azerbaijan assurances of their safety. thousands of new arrivals reach chorus. the 1st c t a with a border. this is the 1st place they can get help and shelter. they share the hardships they went through to get here at the didn't a, we spent 3 days in traffic. usually it was a difficult trip. usually my meant that it was a very difficult moment for us to leave town under high imagine nationally. don't

mind the inside of the 3 years of the life last 2 homes and establish and my 4 young children have heard so many shows. and messiah was so they cried so much. it's offensive them psychologically. i just wish my kids have a safe place. i went to school like over children, my agency talking to weird that they might not marketing on longer school or 5 years. i mean, is that the board is which is 50 kilometers away from the board that has become a communitarian hops for i think, i mean, honestly not gonna cut off. thousands of refugees have been arriving at the borders theater, where they've been guy just said, where are the 1st medical and psychological? how is being provided by the warranty? is international organizations have been working here non stop, as well as the whole city to provide their activities with all the necessary

volunteers in make shift towns, feed people with sandwiches, suites and t things they will deprive those for a long time. the warranty is also say a housing, all the refugees will be an issue for a small country like armenia. i think the most of the most pressing thing seems to be accommodation. there's just, there's just, you know, the, it's an overwhelming amount of people. so the country and entirely the system wasn't really prepared to take on this many people, i think the hospitality of individual armenians to what this fellow composites eases the bad and the refugees say they feel welcomed locals come here to help get whatever they can as go to the um, just provides sitting on the town and supporting people. he especially kids. so most of so the deal at the low cost of doing whatever they carry them off with the protocols with they provide shelter and feed them. oh gosh. yeah, it's, do i need no tongue can do this or just some refugees had been invoice for

a few days slipping in their costs, waiting to register, some plan to go to the capital city of sierra, of on, and leave with their relatives. other say they have no one to go to. all of them are over whelmed by the uncertainty of the future. well, i'm doing now by ross butler. he is with the world health organizations, your special envoy to our media. he joins us tonight from year of on. it's good to have you with this a rob. it's been very difficult for us to get reliable, verifiable information out of the corner care block. you have been to the border with eyes or by john today. tell us what do the refugees, what do they need most urgently as well the 98000 does we just tell us to 8 pm local times and 98000 refugees that have now crossed this board. i have incredible needs a chronic disease patients to need medicines that need treatments. we have mountain

nutrition, most maybe most concerning lake amongst the elderly, and the very young. we have us with suspect situation in terms of the vaccination status of the refugees coming. we don't have vaccination records, so we're unsure of what scale of, of explanation response is going to have to be delivered. and the local health services understand that in a small village, as you've just seen, from your images, from a small town like doris, are overwhelmed as of a social services. but as your reports are quite right, the said harvard tunzia events and nights with a sense of incredible solidarity from the local communities. people opening the homes community sense is to provide accommodation under remarkable coming together of the, of the all my name population. and it is ours, is that the impression you're getting be from the outside world when they hear ethnic armenians going over the border into armenia? the automatic thinking is that they're going home or that they will be welcomed in

or media. is that the impression that you've seen or you've gotten suddenly that being paid when the welcomes, i mean, then the incredible response today registered you just so the, the, the images of the registration center, registration, food, clothing, both are free transports wherever they need to go in the country for those of them that have family here in armenia, they're making a bee line to them. but there are plenty of others that are going to need is you just quite run the 2nd year reports. they're going to have accommodation needs and, and that's what we're here to also support not accommodation, particularly, but as the special envoy to exclude at the regional director for w. i try to europe. my job is to gauge what the house needs are and which services and what, what supplies we need to deliver. we've delivered the and kids we've delivered um, as sergio and kids trauma kids. um, also mental health supports of course,

lot of anxiety, a feeling of loss and despair. psycho social support will be very important in the days and weeks that what let me pick up on the mental health services. you know, that also speaks to long term needs of this population. and what are these people going to need when you know, when the initial attention from the world has weight? so yeah, that's disturbing. the disturbing thoughts isn't that the rest of us, the fatigue and that will be a waning at some point of this issue in this crisis. they will need strong social support networks. um, but i'm very confident the sense of community we sold today. and given that this is just date for of this, of this exodus, we are very confident that the local and national authorities have a medium tax plan in place, meeting the minister of health tomorrow morning a. this is one of the key questions. i'll be asking, what about the international community, what would you say that of these ethnic,

armenians and armenians themselves? what do they need most right now from the international community? well, accommodation, as you said, is, is critical. um we sold today cause arriving with full mattresses, piled on top with the home chest on the back seat. people stopping the boots of the cause, the search so desperate to find a safe place. and soon because gorse is at about 1500 feet in altitude and we're going to have an issue in terms of the weather over the next months as it cools in that particular area. and i see brains to the next week that somehow there's one road in this one right out refugees coming down, it supplies the going the other way, ro butler with the board help organization. we appreciate you taking the time to update us tonight. thank you. thank you. in the united states,

the house of representatives has rejected a bill to temporarily fund the government that makes a shut down highly likely this weekend which could have consequences that reach far beyond us shores. divisions between house republicans and democrats on spending costs a to ukraine and border protection are hindering efforts to get even a temporary funding solution off the ground. and the country's most prominent republican is urging his colleagues to let the shut down happen until congress approves new funding. the federal government won't be able to continue fulfilling various functions. but remember, the u. s. government is the nation's largest employer. over 2000000 federal thousands could be very upset from health.

it's a little over a week since the president loading years of lensky came to washington to rally more support for his country. and the immediate term asia ukraine remains protected even in the shut down. but that spending on ukraine has become a sticking point in these negotiations, means the landscape may need to worry about future support. and that's a big concern, because you already see the republican congressmen, disputing how much money of us government is spending supporting ukraine's efforts in defending himself against the russian patients. the already questions being asked, and that'd be made part of the database on the government shutdown and whether the, the republicans allow, or the democrats deposit budget. so it's not just a direct hit from the government shutdown to find spending spending. but the question of your credit spending is it was the same whether or not we haven't government shut down and how long us. but the good news is the us is no stranger to shutdowns and sooner or later the result to the forces that want to force or shut

down tend to be very adamant at the very beginning. but then as time goes on and the nation gets annoyed about what's going on, they find that it's harder to maintain their fervor and then they'll eventually look for compromise. how would sell our allies and partners? this is not something new. our political processes are not working very well, but what needs to be judged is what comes out the other end. but what exactly comes out on the other end and how long it's going to take to get there, remain the crucial open questions and to shut down. and it won't just be the american people, but ukraine and us allies across the atlantic. that will be waiting for answers but when join now by getting you across the joke, a member of the ukrainian parliament and a spokesperson for president,

lot of his zalinski is a service of the people party is contract. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us to night you, i'm sure so what you're inviting, the republican controlled house of representatives in washington voted today on the bill to keep the government going. that would have included no funding for ukraine . now that bill was rejected, but it was put up to about none the less. who do you trust on capital hill tonight? well, it's very hard to commence on the, in their politics of the united states. i think the congress of both houses will come up of finally at the end of the day or later was the decision for ukraine. of course, it's important to keep that supports the maximum support from both parties and both houses that's in our interests. and that's basically what will the most last key said when he was in dc that we value because to pull the supports from americans

and the supports from both of the parties. and we see that these cards inside of the republicans that's extremely against age of ukraine. they allowed, but this small and i personally, uh, had conversations. so even earlier with a lot of republicans and the best deal from these good old party. and you know, when i was watching the debates of the republican candidates during the primaries. uh, i just assumed that the note is small, detail. uh, these debates were hold in the royal reagan library and i just imagined what woods ronald reagan say about all the situation. i mean, the one, the evil empire is, is trying to threaten the democratic was again, but, you know, it seems to you, you mentioned the republican debate because it brought de santis,

the governor of florida. he is one of those leading candidates. and when asked about funding for you, great, he said no more blank checks for ukraine. is that what washington has been doing for your country and giving you a blank check as we never had any of the blank uh. checks. uh, billing all the money. uh, all the h a special village rates are being traced very shortly. and now we have another inspector coming uh and uh, starting to work uh in october as well. we'll have a person to can agents out on the investments and, and all the financial aid. so all the money or me with your equipment i, you know, very in st. um i would say hands and, and uh we uh, have the, uh these uh, connect to us uh olds that go minds keeping all over. they need it, you know,

information how it's being used. the, the united states since the russian invasion began, has provided about a $100000000000.00 in direct aid and weapons to ukraine. ukraine is the 1st european country to top the list of us for an aide. since the marshall plan at the board were to that is how dramatic the change has been. what do you think lawmakers should be saying to their voters when the voters say you've forgotten about our needs, our needs should come 1st. i mean, you're a politician. a, can you understand when republican say our people should come 1st? well, a lot of these money i would say most of this money do come back to united states um uh, in the terms of the industry because uh these uh, weapons, petra, its uh, uh, tanks, eb rooms. you know that the, um, everything that we get the 165 can we put that these uh, 8 is been produced on american factories and americans are working there. and

actually, the industry is increasing as well as in germany basically, you know, it's, and i cannot imagine the bad or advertisements of the premiums of american uh, weapons. uh hi maurice. um, uh, pay to it. other than being used uh in ukraine because now it's a practical use and it's, it's been tested on the batch or killed. you can see the us to long pause, maybe to correct some mistakes, but to actually uh when petra is uh, working over kids and intercepts and the ballistics that trust us that net could never be intercepted. i can ever, you know, never imagined a better at all american what the industry discussing before we let you go. um, there is the possibility that donald trump could be elected to be the next president. he is certainly campaigning to do that. he said,

if he were elected that the war in new cray would be over within 24 hours. do you believe it? the person to ask you asked about a week ago, i spoke to donald trump, please show these magic recipe. how to, uh, and the war, but north, to change the, you know, north to put the whole was into jeopardy. because the, if puts in wins and to, of the, you know, international log means nothing. then we'll have problems with other countries that have dictators on their weight. you're going to crop to. okay. member of the ukrainian parliament is appropriate. we appreciate you taking the time. we noticed a difficult time, the busy time for you and the people in your country. thank you. thank you. thank you for inviting me. my pleasure. here's a round up now of some of the other stories that are making headlines this. our new york has been inundated with a rain storm that is for all parts of the city to with your standstill, the looters has flooded streets and highways. it's forced parts of the subway

system close and the lead flights authorities have called the storm life threatening and are urging residents to stay home. the long serving us democratic senator dianne feinstein has died at the age of 19. she was known as a firm and advocate for liberal causes, like gun control and gender equality, but also as a pragmatic lawmaker who could find common ground with republicans. feinstein was the oldest sitting us center. at least 50 southern people have been killed in 2 separate suicide bomb attacks and pakistan. the 1st blast in the country south west did a procession marking the birth of the islamic prophet mohammed killing 52 people, several more were killed to the mos in the northwest. no group has claimed responsibility so far. a slight box head to the poles on this saturday in parliamentary elections that could see their country forage closer ties to moscow and that could cause problems for the european union. and nato angela vakio is

a member of both of the populous former prime minister robert feats. so is tip to when he has campaigned on a clear pro russian an anti american message. if he returns to power, he has pledged the reverse football. he is support force, neighboring ukraine. analysts say this information, pushing russian interest as play the key part in the campaign. we're going to hear the big table now is all of the use, the berlin director at rest basing global end is a senior advisor at the alliance for democracies, which aims to help countries find this information. and then you've got a lot of work to do right now. it's good to have you hear the studio with this. how worried are you about a bit about this? him possibly winning and then possibly doing what he's promised to do. and that is to change alliances. then usually you would say for voc is such

a small country the use. so the result of that election does matter so far. but as you pointed out, it is quite worrisome because he could kick off a dynamic within the use of which is already debating a lot amongst itself. and then plus would be the all bar. and of course, or how support by the you for ukraine. and for more transcendental corporation could look like so, or if we have another one, like all burn, this doesn't make it easier. and is his popularity at whatever level it is? but i mean it's, is it, it's not insignificant. is it made possible by this information? so he was never really a truth lover, so to speak. so during his term, this 12 years in, in power as prime minister over the years. so i would come so you should be careful with comparison. but i would say for if you imagine someone like donald trump, this comes pretty close to how he his loved basically to the truth has to be mean not telling the truth publicly and getting away with it. yeah. or just telling lies

on tv, so ord spreading has had speech or if you see what he said recently in the, in the recent weeks actually. so there was a lot of hate speech against minorities attributed to communities and many others. and so in this regard, so he's, he's a pure populace, so to speak it, and he's there, he's a fan, a friend of russia. he's, he said that publicly, do we know if any of his campaign or anything of that that he's saying is it be coordinated at all by the kremlin? i wouldn't go that far, so maybe, but that's maybe not the issue. so the thing is that, of course, the amplification of what he says and, and that kind of this information and fake narrative spread online. this is amplified by russian faith media outlets. but the way, actually, how the kremlin knows how to manipulate the net. so we all remember what it well the 2016 u. s. presidential elections? correct. so,

and we need to remember that this kind of set of influencing for an endo, as our domestic affairs actually of a foreign countries continue with since then. so, or in all the elections, the 2021 elections in germany. happy. and also it'd be an interesting point. i've, by rushing this information. so what's your, what's your advice, been governments and political parties of that, you know, obviously want to protect them and, and their constituencies against this information. so a lot of stuff is going on unfortunately. so governments woke up since the 2016 election. so the you is doing a lot so the digital digital services act, for instance, is a major part by the you also to protect the upcoming european elections in 2024. and of course a when by fits so in this election is kind of a test case also for the you and also for the policy election. so 2 weeks later or so therefore we have opening election seasons. that's right. and lots of witness test of about to be apply. that's the sure. oh, i think of mr. hood,

it's good to see we get we appreciate you coming and thank you. you're welcome bye . this is the sports news now and golf europe is taking the commanding lead over the us a on the 1st day of the ryder cup and roll your with for 0, a head of an incredible morning in the fortune matches. it was the 1st time europe had ever whitewashed. the u. s. with an opening section of the car, the afternoon football matches were more even with the score after day one standing at 6 and a half to one and a half at the asian games in china. afghanistan's women's volleyball team will play its opening game on saturday. the squad is made up of exiles who were forced to flee the country after the takeover by the tale. bon, who have since band women sports and persecuted, female athletes. they are ready to take on the continent. afghanistan's women's volleyball team have become huge obstacles to be at the asian

games, forced to start new lives abroad by the tyler bands treatments of women in sports. now that competing on the big stage, actually the important things for us and that's the goal, is that uh, participation in such kind of matches and coming here, they give them hope for the future. the team will be huge under dogs at the games. the players are based in different countries and of course do not get state funding like other sites competing here. but they determined to make the most of them moments in the sun. i say, because my 1st name, i mean to the high level, the team's expectations of supporting success in china may be modest upon the financing and also get the most important bustle for the women at home bod, from plain sports, as my big god bless that. so maybe maybe maybe one day

or 10 for in their own quincy and in a piece be hope that everything would change. and i've got this done in one day, all this woman who are still it ever gotten this done. and they hope to be a part of the team here with this, with these girls. so we hope that everything would change and the thought about even accept the woman. but this will take time. the time is now for these women, no. and a win against catholics down on saturday would be the perfect conclusion to that tale of resilience. or if you're watching the w news live from berlin, here's a reminder of our top story. pakistani officials say that dozens are dead and injured after 2 attacks targeting religious gatherings. the 1st carried out by a suicide bomber struck a religious procession and authority say, of 2nd attack, targeted a mosque in north western pakistan. there's been no claim of responsibility for either return your watch dw news,
