volunteers, and emergency services searched for victims a terrifying ordeal for survivors. the sure with these white children. for some reason we always thought that the hospital was protected. we were a 100 percent sure that they would not hit here and it turned out it turned out the way it turned out. so we managed to get most patients out safely. investigate except for those who were most el desk. we stayed with them during the strikes and in the aftermath of the patients were forced to evacuate the hospital after at last water, oxygen and electricity keeps mayor said the sold was one of the worst since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine over 2 years. ago,

genocide or cooperation. the brain is right now the whole world see how russian visuals i'm gimmick of the drums cubes. ukrainian citizens, presidents, a lot of mirrors, the landscape safety more than 40 minutes. so i was targeted 5 ukrainian cities, the by raj, struck apartment buildings and public infrastructure. ukraine says it's intercepted, 30 minutes of russia has denied targeting the hospital saying it was hated by fragments of ukrainian air defense me. so speaking in poland, where he was signing a security deal, savanski dismissed at moscow's denial. oh, it says that i see it shows that you've certain knowledge. we're already seeing reports, things go with the ukranian air defenses to blame. but it wasn't distracted by russia. he objection to mccrae and send me a key. i'm grateful to all the ukrainians who started posting videos where you can

see the not part of a missile changed around. but instead that it was a direct mental strike that injured and killed many people in ukraine today. smart and the devil greenish landscape, also via wood retaliation. the un security council said it will meet to discuss the attacks. the roles are likely to feature highly on the agenda de nato summit in washington on tuesday. the ukrainian president is expected to attend and to make another plea for more support. our ukraine corresponded nick connelly was at the damage children's hospital earlier and he sent us this update basically being half a day since these attacks. and behind me they are still trying to drill through the concrete through the rules of this unit that has collapsed behind me. is roles that attacked, trying to catch people who are believed to still be that have been sheltering in

a cell or potentially underneath this building so far? no voices, no contact with the people who is missing. but this what is going on. could still go deep into the night and into tomorrow. this is of a site. this is ukraine central. so there's also for all the most difficult cases. i'm sick is sylvan, find me on the right day. you might see some of the emergency services. cruise was exhausted, it is incredibly summer's day, and people are working out in the sun for hours generate, the fumes of weapons, has no power. and to give you a sense of what, how big so full was this on the other side. here i have a much bigger building that was less impacted, but where will the windows flew out and you have a few people from left for me to have turned off to basically try and solve is what can be solved as automated equipment. throw out that every somehow do something constructive on a day that seems just frankly, unbelievable in a place here. and typically what people thought that by the time that would be great, it was on the research us president joe biden has insisted once again,

but he intends to stay in the presidential race. despite concerns about his mental capacity and a letter to fellow democrats in congress, he said he would not be running if he didn't think he was, quote, the best person to beat donald trump bite and ask them to stop speculating over his future, arguing it only benefits his competitor, some democrats, have called on the president to step aside after his disastrous deep debate performance. last month. sherry burman as a political science professor at barnard college, columbia university in new york. she said, monday was the strongest push back yet from president biden. president and his supporters really came out today for the 1st time since by presidential debate, very forcefully on the find his cannon and c saying that he had every intention to see this campaign through that he was able and eager to um,

go ahead to head with donald trump and that has, he had absolutely no intention of withdrawing. and that if the democrats wanted to be trunk that they needed to rally behind him and do that now coming from a bite. and of course was trying to stem dissent within his own party. he also told critics today in an interview, quote, if you don't like me, challenge me at the democratic convention, what are the chances that could really happen that there could actually be a challenge to him at the convention? so i would say the chances of that a very slim and every day that goes by probably works in biden's paper. that is to say that if they were going to switch horses, so to speak, to time to do that would be sooner rather than later. because that would give a party obvious we talk might be around a new candidate to rally donors to um, rally supporters and all that kind of important stuff. so every day that goes by works in biden's favor and on the chances of having some kind of contested

convention or very, very slim because of it would be very bad for the party. and i mean really wouldn't give a new candidate time to kind of shape the narrative in a way that he or she would really need to confront trunk. so do you see these dissenters who are calling for him to step aside? do you see them going silent as well? i also suspect that they will go silent, but their voices will diminish over time. that is to say, that gives, there is no ground swell of support with in the democratic party. and so we've seen some representatives that is to say people in the house of representatives called providing to step aside from seeing a lot of media attention. but until we start seeing more democratic leads and more perhaps donors, big donors, influential donors. chances are that, you know, you will not get that kind of ground swell of support. it has to happen soon. and

it has to happen is not really over whelming way. and today, as i said, um, you know, that letter being part of this kind of renewed, forceful push, 55, and his supporters to say no, we're not going to step down. and we're going to fight this until we really feel like we have no choice whatsoever. was speaking of donors bite and as basically saying that, you know, the doubters here are just a few. it leads some of them donors, but that the regular voters in his party picked him as their candidate. how true is that as well. i mean, it's true in the literal sense in that he was over whelming victor, in the democratic primary. so that is, i mean, that is literally true. i mean, he had no real opponents enough. you know, the one or 2 people put up some opposition to him. you know, were marginalized almost completely. so it's true that he is the candidate of the democratic party. the question is,

did the debate performance and renew questions about his health, about his age, about his competencies, and create enough doubt in the minds of both voters and the democratic party decision makers to change what was the you know, an over whelming primary victory of 45, and again, they clearly the bike and can find himself or is not going to go on easily. he's going to fight this and every day that goes by words. as i said in his paper, cherry berman, professor of political science at barnard college in new york, thanks for speaking to us. my pleasure. there are some more stories making news around the world. russian president vladimir putin as welcome to india is prime minister and a rendered moody at his suburban residence near moscow for an informal dinner. and he has become a key trading partner and buyer of russian oil. since the west increased sanctions on the kremlin. the 2 leaders are due to hold official talks on tuesday.
