>> welcome to alyssa naeher. i did the missile strike killed at least 70 people including a child as the secretary of state which were underage to visit. president zelenskyy's office posted this after the blast happened. people were shopping in the early afternoon. russia has not commented on the attack. he was lent to the progress of the ukrainian counteroffensive. >> i would like to speak about another russian attack in dundas. it was -- it was an attack on the market. i have been there many times before was 19.

there were no military bases there. they do this when an army advances. russians always attack civilians. we understand they are killing civilians on purpose. lincoln announced the package to show the u.s. continued support against russian aggression. 665.5 one million will go toward security assistance. the assistance will contribute

austin for a three hour long meeting with solesky. in september of 2022, they toured the town of bill have. thank you for joining us. this latest attack -- is this sort of thing you envisaged? exclusion is taking the opportunity to remind ukrainians.

it is part of a broader strategy that would has used. >> putin is trying to send a message as blinken's visit reinforces not only for ukrainians but the world the durability of the u.s. commitment against this unprovoked and violent attack. he can also attack and kill civilians. >> we have not seen an attack like that for some months. >> this is straight out of putin's playbook. putin will take the opportunity to attack.

thousands and thousands of civilians will fall victim to the attack. this is adding to a very long tally. one of the things i think we can do is help ukrainians with the equipment they have. to conduct discriminant attacks. we can send a clear message to putin that if he attacks the electricity grid, the water system, we will remove some of the restrictions we agreed on. this is allowing them to make attacks inside of russia. we can also raise the stakes for putin and take the almost $300

billion of russian sovereign reserves to support ukraine's long-term reconstruction. alexi were ambassador for the u.s.. you mentioned an organization for peace. russia was one of the founding members of that. are they been shown to be irrelevant? >> this is over the importance of supporting international law. that complement these organizations.

russia is a permanent member. we are starting to see a group of over 30 countries meeting over the last 19 months. this has been extremely effective. it is important to recognize that some of these organizations have built-in safe design clauses. russia has been committed to making it work. there are still many good examples of international cooperation and i think we will see more of those. >> looking specifically at the aid of secretary blinken. what good will that do? what use will that be? >> there is the aid to support the counteroffensive. ukraine could continue to put pressure on the back foot. it makes it harder for putin.

this counteroffensive is pinching him. there is assistance and at the longer term. zelensky is very good at helping people understand -- it is hard people who don't live in wartime. catastrophe in the presence of something that's is more helpful in the future. this is something they can continue to do. >> just briefly, do you think a brighter future will come before the winter was out? >> i think it will be many months before we see a real breakthrough. time has been a co-conspirator

as long as i remember. maybe a way in which time is going to be something that putin hears ticking by. i think it is import for the international community to help ukraine celebrate the clock that is ticking in moscow. >> the u.k. government will officially declare the pregnant group a terrorist organization that will come into effect september 13. it would make it a crime. it will be a crime to show the wagner logo in public. they could face up to 14 years in jail if convicted of those crimes. troops have played a key role in russian attack on ukraine. the cost of living crisis and the what ukraine's impact on rising the food crisis has hit the ball hard. none more so than bangladesh.

bangladesh is among the countries who have been increasing levels of acute malnutrition. they found children experiencing short times of malnutrition increased. 11% last year. they are driving nearly two thirds of households to employ strategies including taking on debt. the final part of our series is impacting children. our correspondent reports from bangladesh for some of the countries getting hit the hardest. >> more than a year old. but severely underweight. she should be for her age. her mother can't afford rising food prices and fears she will

have to beg. the family gets some rice rations from the government. >> i am hungry. they are hungry. we don't eat meat or fish anymore. what can we do? >> every third child is malnourished. already one of bangladesh's poorest districts. the impact of rising oil prices since the war in ukraine. their father works these fields. it costs more to farm here. the land that fed his family now threatens to stop.

>> i am struggling to support my family now. i don't earn that much. still, i have to spend a large amount of my earnings. we are growing rice here but we can't even afford it. >> from villages to cities, they struggle. bangladesh was forced to go to the ims this year after his -- after its economy faltered. the prices of many basic food items have continued to increase. take the broiler chicken. a staple in many households. it rose by a third. moms are taking part in a

healthy workshop. but with the price of the potato now up by 75% from last year, basics they could want to forward are no luxuries. and we see just how bad things can get. when children are better proper diet. bed after bed, young patients severely malnourished. this two-year-old has stunted growth and is very sick. >> doctors advised me to give more nutritious food to my son but i can't afford nutritious food. how does my baby boy get nutrition? >> a few days later, they are doing a little better but once

africa. >> we agree on what our narrative should be. we can agree that climate finance is insufficient. >> some $23 billion was at the summit. how much do you think of that is an actual commitment? >> some part of the 23 million was overly announced during cop 27. we need to see how much exactly will go into our communities and into the economy. there is so much more to be done we are looking at just the balance sheet of mdb's. we need more.

we need more to deal with that adaptation and resilience. the funding gap is still way too high. if we consider that many african countries have competing needs, the needs are much higher. >> what do you say to those that fund these programs? what about the conflict we see in these year and give anna -- in niger? >> we have seen a value of

systems in the global north. those are not the lending rates associated with those markets. we need to look at this perception of risk. default rates are not as high as they are perceived to be. there are some african institutions that have been lending that have not had as high of a position. these are now operating here. there is reliability when it comes to investing. we must note that this is not homogeneous. we have different government systems. but it is not the countries with

the best government systems to not attract a sufficient amount of fbi to meet the adaptation. >> we see the human weather agency saying that that has cost us three months on record this year. >> it is manifesting itself in droughts and really erratic weather systems. it is generally affecting very high temperatures, droughts. we will continue to see increased vulnerabilities and increasing shocks to our spaces

and economic disparities. particularly, for adaptation. we need to ensure that we reduce any further societal challenges that could lead to climate migration. nobody wants community is to be fighting for water or food. this is good shelter or good infrastructure. this is our joint future. we know that they contribute very little to this problem. this helps us realize our common goals.
