u n u s. foreign minister told dw, that should happen whoever the next us president is because people are saying, you know, that we need to take this, this step part of this measure because of the election. i don't think that it's, it's good strive. because if i'd read in a position, so i think it's best to have a different concept in mind. you know, we do what's right. we do what is needed for natal security. we do what's needed for your credit security, and you can speak to of russia has intensified its mississauga tax on ukraine in recent weeks with the war now into it's 3rd year. ukraine's foreign minister says what the country really needs is more air defense systems from the west. i don't want to spoil the party, but of course my message is a birthday party for my main. my main message today will be competitive because saving you currently live savings for an economy saving pregnancy just depends on the availability of categories and other air defense system seems ukraine and we're talking about petra's, because it's built in the system that can intercept ballistic missiles. thank you. question allies have been hesitance on this point, but the ukraine that would be cause for the biggest celebration of all. so, earlier i asked a political consultant for his party a if russia is once again, the biggest threat to nato. i mean is clearly the number one credit, the other ones, uh, terrorism being another one and kind of growing. and we say uh, be younger region ambitious. uh china. russia is keeley uh, close to an existence of trade to nato. and, and there i think the launch, these are 2 phase one is obviously spend more money in acquiring and requiring defense capabilities that that'd be lost. so this invested us to the end of the cold war and still going to allow ukraine to really we dislike. because if you crank fails to detect a successful russia and ukraine would be extremely cost intensive and resources and see for the allies. so our interest is also to make you quite successful and, and what has been announced over the last few days, as is ryan encouraging. but these, i don't think, you know, as a game changer to allow ukraine to really start to finish this for, for various criteria. their athletic will, consultant and ceo as restless and global. ukrainian authorities say about 30 percent of the country is contaminated by russian land. wines, unexplored ordinance and other explosives up to 174000 square kilometers of land are thought to be contaminated, posing a threat to civilian life and making it off limits for farming and other uses. according to a survey by you and published last year, minds have been detected in 11 of ukraine's 27 old last among the most contaminated regions are nicholas her son, jeanette's, and her case. human rights watch points out that ukrainian forces have also deployed landlines against russian forces of the area in need of checking and clearing is larger than the size of greece. dw, a at uber. him traveled to booty in northern ukraine to meet some of those taking on this dangerous job a year ago. victoria was training to be a pastry shop. now the 20 year old is helping clear ukrainian soil from unexploded russian mines is doing so in the northern ukrainian village previously occupied by russia. this work is crucial for life to come back here. and that was a to but my brother is currently serving in the army for 2 and a half years already. my father was also called to the army, but because of course, he passed the commission but was not draft annually. i also wanted to do my part, so i came to work here, of course, with you a little bit to have a younger brother. and then i would like him to walk on clean land and the course to move. and so would my future children do presumed my with needs due to the course. victoria says when she 1st swapped her piece tree apron for a metal detector, her mother panic insisting the job was too dangerous, not appropriate for women. but women are taking on new rules all through ukraine replacement, who are at the front line, the halo trust and n g o that works to clear land mines and explosive devices is seeing more women wanting to do the job. doing my work, i need a lot of our women and to actually they inspire me because many of them like um, went out of billing or from fort because they used it previously. absolutely different end to work. so like, for example, the phone was working, making money to sell was, was built for, and this is all it to someone was working as a teacher bands. and now they decided that at the moment maybe we need to fleeing for the last was not far from ki, of you yet who used to work in an office trains new d miners. when you put the to, i'm just delighted when they come the next day and just and can tell them what i told them yesterday, including the record. that's why i like being an instructor. but we have many women whose husbands are at war and these women are not standing by and crying and not waiting for them or rather, they also take the position that the more we work on this, the sooner we will finish it all with you, with the civic income, some estimates suggest it could take hundreds of years to clear all of ukraine of landlines. these women are making start. for more, i'd like to welcome alexandra lope off a mine action specialist with united nations development program and ukraine joins us now from q. mr. lowball, if you you have worked as a mind action experts around the world, including in afghanistan and somalia. how does ukraine compare to what you have experienced elsewhere? so definitely as your grades as a different context, especially during systems should be used already. a modem. when you use them as such as ballistics, miss laos, and pro bono land mines, dish this and depends on devices. very sensitive to any physical influence that's going to cause any class special knowledge and experience which is through his arms and also for your career. and also one of the challenges is just just to understand the scope and scale of this problem definitely to do any right, a lot of resources and definitely plays these kind of area in 60 and expensive am. and at the moment we got a lot of phones and investment suggest to do is to look at that this kind of data. just okay, just a picture, if you can. can you tell us how these land mines are changing daily life for ukrainians every day? just most people just a swiss, so people under serious of this month and what did they just because of c as in box arms, they just basic needs when, when you buy them, you know, they don't have access to just simple things like hospitals, schools, they cannot come to our house called up to you because on a daily basis limited max, i have to infer through shape, infrastructure, etc, etc. there i approximately 60 medium people's deal of it this ripped in this way, jones and what kind of long term effects do you expect to see from mining in ukraine? for example, how long after the war is over? do you think this will continue to be a problem hunting the country? i'm just thinking of skipping considerations, this large scale of problem i want to say definitely takes years and definitely integrated by kind of new technology innovation applications for this long previous experience have been brought to ukraine from international uh, from international society. definitely. and not enough, as the most viewed fully ally overage on new technologies. are certain groups of people. i'm sorry for interrupting. there are certain groups of people in ukraine, for example, children particularly vulnerable to the impact of lines. yes, you will be able to just go to them just to me there. you might admissions like and be sure that's what you on the rise. the serial good casual does more than 101000 when somebody and schedule just m on children more than 100. 20 show that the children just since 2022. and those are staggering numbers. yeah, in addition to those, that's horrible numbers. there's also in an economic impact in ukraine as well as, and their agriculture understands the importance of the ukrainian economy. how much has that been impacted now that you see feels littered with minds is definitely just the ukrainians that'd be this productive production of the gall charles and, and definitely discuss a significant impact on economical inbox to see a little difference. the issue just to get access to that area. the board is deal. imagine slice and give and definitely please there is no access to conduct emergency response. do you mind them task? so it's cuz it's a significant thing box. definitely jump on a free order to just to restore or economic, especially for albany, cultural sector. well, thank you so much for your time today. and date of your name is that is my action specialist on the central drop off with the un development program and ukraine. so we can take a look now at some other world news headlines. heavy rain has hit parts of china, particularly in the east of the country where extensive water logging is affecting the growth of early rice siblings. hunan province in southern china has also experienced heavy rainfall. rescue work is ongoing. over a 100 people have leaped into the water to escape a burning boat. in the gulf of thailand, the overnight ferry was headed to the popular tourist destination co tau. off the tie coast, local officials say all $108.00 people on board were rescued and the cause of the blaze is under investigation. armed resistance groups in man, mar, say they have caused casualties in a drone attack on the capital of nephew. all the capital is the seat of power for the military. when to that, over through the democratic government in 2021. the main office issue group, which calls itself the national unity government says allied revel groups of struck the airport and the military headquarters with drones. but the who just says it's shot down to drones and claims, no damage or casualties or sustains. so let's get some insight into this of which i cannot draw a few as a research or an analyst focused on me and more currently based in and joining us from bangkok, thank you so much for taking the time. we have the who want to hear denying reports of casualties in this attack. what are you hearing from your sources? yeah, it's still a little bit unclear. all the details are still coming through today. and the thing find out more is that the coming days of the resistance unit itself, right under the energy and the power toby, it's hard to say that based on $28.00 kamikaze drones, the 3 locations, the military headquarters, the main database, which is just south east of the city from where they regulate, deploy, i crossed to a phone, civilian supplements, outside tons of control, and finally the personal residence of the dictates. i mean on the blank as well. it's through hard to know for sure because of lack of access, unreliable information. the energies ministry of defense claimed that there were casualties, but didn't get the details of a number of offered services being interviewed by local media. some of which was the concerns that there were casualties and sounds like a media voice has spoken to people who used to work in the sites and spoken to them and not mislead you or others in the city. and so they were all tricked. was information coming back suggesting there's been some damage during the district and casualties, but the exact details are still on 9 now the home to of course, has used airstrikes the devastating effect against pro democratic forces. do you think that the use of drones now is leveling the playing field for the off position? it's yes, it's been a huge shift story for the last couple of years and that type, technical advancements have just kept going and going. so this is kind of another step in demonstrating what they can do. and yeah it's, it's brought out a whole near strategic set of problems for the hunter. in terms of the way that they fall into for that base is the way that they can move trains the way that they can. all right, so rates definitely taking the initiative away from the jump. so i was one of the number of innovations the resistance of used. um so yeah, i think that that's kind of being the main impact so far. we still don't know exactly what the physical impact is, but it definitely gives the regime yet. so now the problem to solve was open about keeping you regarding the kind of reactive mode so that they can undertake the right initiative. so this is, yeah, another step back for those. and so just something else that they have to focus on the height. it was a, comes in the context of increasing attacks around that the dog is being increasingly is unsafe for troops and especially for like military families and other civilians to move in and out of the city on the ground. they've forgotten building trenches in k, most of the city towards the east, towards where these resistance attacks came from mass or how the goal is to stay with very high security measures in the evening. so that definitely feeling the pressure in the door and this is kind of, you know, the move in math or action. well, thank you so much for joining us with those insights on t w that is kim joseph or turn into some other news and pressure continues to grow on israel over its deadly attack on an aide convoy in gaza. the leaders of poland and australia, criticized as well as conduct after citizens of their countries were among those killed in the attack. made you looked at the bodies ever. let's look, we expect a full explanation, an immediate and clarification of all the circumstances of this tragedy. that's kind of a compensation for the relatives of the victims of this attack. would also be very important to me at the bottom of these others. i will uh, we need to have a can ability for how it's okay. and what isn't good enough? is the stipends to the they might a including that they ceased just a product of all of the founder of world central kitchen has accused israel of systematically targeting his workers. when it carried out those strikes is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the workers were killed unintentionally, as israel continues operations following the october 7th a terrorist attacks by him. us. the latest incident has prompted world central kitchen and some other 8 organizations to suspend their operations. and gaza, or palestinians

workers bodies have since been transported to egypt for being repacked, traded, transporting the bodies of aid workers. they were killed and then is really air strikes well overseeing the delivery food aid in gaza. the us base and g o released the names and photos of palestinian australian, british polish, and us canadian staff killed in the attack. the remains of 6 were taken out of gaza to egypt to beaver patriot or to their home countries. the founder of the charity world central kitchen set, the convoy was targeted systematically, one car after the other the the word target the hands you know, the confidence on it. eric months old idea. then knowing that was our team's moving on that route. $77.00 people that they are 7 on top of our lease. so what i know there 192 money dining workers that they've been to over the last 6 months. isra
