lo, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. ukraine has stopped issuing new passports to some military age men living abroad. it's part of a bid to pressure them to return home to fight. the move is temporary and comes the day after the ukrainian foreign ministry suspended consular services for men from the ages 18 to 60 long choose form to passport offices in european countries after foreign minister demitra clay by announced the measures the limits come shortly after you crane adopted a new stricter mobilization policy to shore up forces a mid gains by russia on the battlefield. that's where they are. i spoke about this with dw corresponded caroline, a jim more n t. i asked her what this new mobilization law means for ukrainians living abroad

business, especially tragic terry, for man, between 18 and 60 years old. we're living abroad and want to renew their passports . and there are hundreds of this man, for example in poland, who has been already queueing up in front of the consulates, trying to renew their passports. they cannot do any kind of paper works as ukrainian consulates, but only the process to come back home. and this has been highly criticized here in and t of also by members of the parliament saying that this has not been discussed during the whole progress and procedure of the mobilization law. as some members of parliament are members of the committee of national security. even want to call in members of the minister of carrying affairs to ask them to explain this issue. because this had apparently not been this cause and it seems to be a phrase on that might not even be legal. what does this mobilization say about how

the war is going for ukraine? carolyn terry already mentioned it. ukraine needs manpower. they need more man on the frontlines. it's not only weapons, it's also about soldiers of the she's a, the sieve of the army said that they need at least $215000.00 more soldiers at the front line. and also we know that russian troops out number ukraine and troops, but up to 10 times this means that every ukrainian soldier, a missy comes advantage on this field. catalina, thank you very much. those are correspond currently that you more in keith or us present your button is assigned a bill into law authorizing billions of dollars in military aid for ukraine day earlier, lawmakers gave the final green light to the 60 $1000000000.00 package ending months, a months long stand off in congress bite and says supplies will soon be on their

way. i'm making sure the shipment start right away. next few hours, really be 2 hours from equipment to ukraine, for air defense, munitions, for artillery rocker systems and armor vehicles. you know, this package is literally invest not only in your brand new credit, but in yours, in our own security. the, to a natural disaster unfolding in kenya, red cross officials there say the death toll has risen to 50 after weeks of flooding. torrential rains have entered data of the country and brought the capitals nairobi to a standstill. the commuter train service there has been suspended and major roads are blocked, entire neighborhoods or underwater and thousands of fled their homes to seek shelter. of the weeks,

a relentless down pores have caused misery and narrow b rescue teams have managed to move some residents to safety. me and my do doesn't arrive in my brother who are on top of on top of the getting my g. i'm from morning to 11 pm in the cities, poor neighborhoods. high water has devastating effect. material used to build shelter, washed away by the flood, was suffering. i need to sell them to take the things. i'm go where they go and we don't know where to begin. we need food to feed our children and close to we are utensils are washed away homes filled with mud. some people,

even most of the rules we stranded and don't know what to do next, we desperately need help authorities or warning residents of heavy to very heavy rainfall made worse by an el nino weather pattern all the way until may with rain and thunder storms. forecast to continue through the weekend that rubies floods are likely to get even worse. are corresponded, felix, but ring gave us the latest on the situation in nairobi. the situation has been, di, if you can just see behind me the amount of destruction that's taking place in the last 2 days, houses came down and people are trying to solve aids, whatever is remaining parts of the household. you can see some people actually, even the food was destroyed and

a lot of destruction has been taking place and the rescue efforts have been going on this morning. one key does just been found dead down the stream and it's just been devised fixing the last few days. how is the government dealing with this emergency? felix do? does the government have the resources it needs to cope with this and help the people of the uh, there has been a multi i didn't see response to you by the government, red cross and all of them are going on with the rescue efforts. yes. that the president williams wrote or convinced that meeting was. busy when c i, j a, c, c, quoted as, and not the military to step in to help with the rescue efforts. but it's, it's been, uh, the government has been accused of coming to let into the policy. and people, i say, had the governments coming that it would be the idea probably these amount of destruction could not have taken place if might come in our mind can just show you this other

side. it has just been very diverse beating. you could, you can see some of the walls, that's why shooting the houses had been destroyed and people are just trying to see what more can be done if you see on the front end. uh there are uh fences to some of the houses and what i had actually going to have the house is so its been crazy and people are saying, how does the government come in in good time, then some of this destruction would not have taken place. so they feel more to be done by the government. the president has um called in, i'm going to address the response team and they are hoping to ensure that this damage does not continue just very briefly. what's the weather forecast? felix? is there any relief inside there's not any leaf inside and they're not focused on last saying the civilians will continue to the month of may so they feel much more that's needs to be done. several people have asked,

have been asked to leave the areas and if i q is to higher ground so that they will not be victims of the flooding that has been taking place in their country. felix, thank you very much for your reporting. that was the w, as felix murmuring of the, on the outskirts of my room sketchup on a few other stores making headlines around the world today. dozens have been killed by a heat stroke in thailand alone. as extreme heat grips south and southeast asia authorities and tie capital bank hawk of warranted extremely dangerous conditions. schools have been closed in the philippines and bangladesh for tens of millions of children, united nations. as warren, that dest, due to heat stroke, were widely under reported calling seats, a silent killer secretary of state anthony, blinking has called all the united states and china to manage their differences responsibly. he made the comments during talks in shanghai with the cities

communist party secretary, each engineering lincoln will head to beijing on friday for talks with present. she's been paying business for commerce. is really military says it has attacked dozens of targets in southern lebanon. belonging to the around back. the militia has bought in retaliation for rockets fired over the border. israel's defense minister, you are collab claims, that half of hezbollah as commanders in the area have been killed in the latest round of funding. well turning to the war in gaza. israel says it's moving ahead with plans for a ground defensive there into rock, despite its intense international criticism. the is really government claims that the bulk of how mazda is remaining forces are hiding out in that southern gauze and city were over a 1000000 internally displaced. godson's are now sheltering. the offensive continues. israel's response to the come off terror attacks on is really towns on

october 7th satellite images near rough show collections of tents that were not there earlier this month. media reports say is real, has bought. $40000.00 tends to accommodate those who will be forced to move again. once it begins it's a salt, but this is you have to be officially confirmed. so there are reports of israel is planning to carry out and offensive in rasa in stages. so the question is, is, is, is israel scaling back its original plan for a full scale offensive? i put that question earlier to our correspondent in jerusalem, rebecca betters. so that's very difficult to say is round, not giving way exactly what they plan to do, but it is indeed all indications point to israel pushing ahead with its kind to offensive rafa. they've said so themselves. yes, today the is there any military concerns that the at least the 2 battalions to reserve battalions that were cooled up to prepare for this eminence offensive that

they were indeed ready and they were just waiting for a political green light. they're also reports. yes. today that some very senior is ready, officials are in egypt to talk to their egyptian counterpart about this plan. defensive obviously ref, reference proximity to the egyptian board and makes it slightly different to some of the other offensive we've seen. and goal is a sofa. and so they were reportedly there to discuss their plans with the additional socrates. so when you talk about this phase plan, that is what we're hearing. although, as i reiterate, i'll reiterate that we don't have confirmation from israel exactly what their plans um, but this is what we're hearing, that there is a kind of plan phase. we know that the us has been putting on pressure for weeks, particularly, but also others, including germany at, to try to prevent the worst of humanitarian catastrophe that would come with going in to integrate into a rough or in a ground offensive with move and a 1000000 people sheltering their uh so it does certainly appear and that's what

we're hearing. but this phased this phase, it's, you know, plan phase offensive is to try to evacuate many of the civilians that are there. we're hearing that it could take some weeks. so though this offensive is to, to begin as long as we expected it could take some weeks yet, terry felt satellite images are circulating that show new tent encampments in southern gaza. with those tense, rebecca, be enough to accommodate and evacuation of rough ha, or well, we think we're talking around about $40000.00 tens. that's because we've heard that israel has procured 40000 tens. they haven't given any acknowledgement or they haven't commented on whether or not these 10 cabins that we're seeing via the satellite imagery is, is they work. we're also getting reports that they're being erected by egyptians and the way. uh, but of course, you know, with the, the approval and the, you know,

coordination of the, as riley's um, you know, we're talking about 40010, so far we're talking about a 1000000 more than a 1000000 people in rough a. um you, i'll leave you to do the math on that one. i don't think we're going to see a full evacuation of russell, but also we're getting a lot of reports on the ground that people civilians who are just exhausted from having news. sometimes up to 56 of the times as they gradually have come down the street from the north. they evacuated into various different positions. so they're just exhausted. and they simply, you know, we've heard so many people saying that a willing to just die and roster that they don't want to evacuate anymore. so we are hearing that this is going to be a slightly different offensive than the ones that we've seen. perhaps more targeted in order to try to comply by those us and all the allied, the moms, the to not cause such a humanitarian catastrophe. and to try to keep civilian casualties teeth to a minimum. but as i say, you know, this could take some weeks without talking about more than a 1000000 people. and just with are all going to go really remains to be same.

terry. rebecca, thank you very much. is always our correspond are rebecca rivers there in jerusalem . a russian environmentalist, so raising the alarm over a potential radioactive leak, it could threaten the health and safety of thousands in a region already devastated by flooding the source, the dobro walden, the uranium mines, located near cor gun on the russian cars like porter. the mine contains over $7000.00 tons of uranium in could be in the path of rising flood waters. the border region has faced weeks of unprecedented flooding due to a heavy rain and a quicker than usual spring fall, forcing thousands from their homes. if the mind were to flood radioactive material, could poison rivers and fresh water sources in the region of more on this, we're joined now by andre, i'll show raska nuclear waste expert from the russian social ecological unions.

thanks for being with us. already. first of all, explain forest briefly how the rein him in that mind could become a public health hazard in the case of floods or yeah, but 1st i would like just the times that uh it is already flooded. the wells. what are you doing? im comes on the surface already, the underwater, they use it several spots. i'm a real russian sage, new play monopoly. uh, one of our divisions, schools, belgium, they use a really cheap but very harmful to an environment. the use of extraction, your revenue, it's in size. you legion, so they make you ring them solutions liquid, underground in the, in the, in the, they don't create mines, they do wells. so it looks like the oil of extraction facility, but is the extraction of toil,

but liquid solutions of your in your why it's dangerous that they part of the uranium reserve, which is already down there. what are these tart extraction in named age if during the soviet union time and lot of old uranium wells are just lift out the pressure underground pressure pumps up uranium solutions and i have measured it myself several years. there severe the rounds, this wells, the reeves increasing level of regulation. why it comes across the ring, and what's the quote, okay, i, i think i understand the mechanics of it now that you've spoken people on the ground there. what are they saying? are they aware of the potential danger as well as e r, but they, they just reported for me is that just like one across meter? what's are owns his own wells when you're else?

i didn't mention that because there is a new uh spot to him. excuse me to that which i'm not yet. the coverage was afloat, but the old well so much more dangerous by said to under pressure from the ground. and the way even the uranium from teens in ages wednesdays talked uranium extraction. now the, the russian nuclear energy agency rosa tom says that small amounts of uranium in drinking water are on problem magic and they're accusing the population of radio phobia is, is the issue being down play? do you think by the government? well, you know, the most out to him was a part of the russian government. it's a state corporation. so whatever they say the, the governmental control must media, will repeat as market if market comes to, um the, the effects are the concentration of dangerous uranium faults in the water of

campbell river, which is used as a drinking rebate for regarding, for the capital of the proteins increased, it is not the levels which brings you to death immediately. of course not. but the collect give those over the people who use his drink and what it will definitely be increased. and if the collective deal is increased time of those people who will get a reject if for reasons insights, they'll get to problems with the house. that's how it works. andre, thank you very much for talking with us today. that was andre also ruskie, a nuclear waste expert from the russian associate, like a logical union, are now to be on mar, where fierce fighting between the surgeon groups and the military government is pushing the nation towards collapse. tens of thousands of people have been killed in the ongoing battle for control. this map shows how much territory is controlled by the resistance, and which areas are controlled by the military hunter,

as well as areas that are still heavily contested. a central point in the battle for territory and control of the country has been the town of milwaukee on beyond mars. eastern border with thailand in the me. almost city of milwaukee this week, explosions and smoke rising from buildings, attacked by helicopters, overhead, resistance flights and say they have for now partially withdrawn from the critical board. the city would thailand which they seized only earlier this month. they retreat full as a counter offensive by the ministry hunter, which sees control of me. a ma in a 2021 crew, plunging the country into a violent chaos fight thing. and me a, what a has cause thousands to financing. they bring thailand. although thailand's foreign ministry set on wednesday some hudson's for tons, this is one me what it is so important to have only a handful of border crossings between me and lawrence highlands located in the city

. and more than $1000000000.00 us dollars a trade policy through me of what each it control of the city means, control of an economic lifeline. and to me, i'm a thailand has wouldn't be on last minute truth. and so it's not so without fighting to spill over the pool to propose as in wide meeting to resolve the crisis . but a peaceful solution looks distance. the situation in the a more remains enormously complex young with resistance groups opposed to the hunter at times also facing each other elsewhere. this particular concern. so they were hitting the people in the almost northern right kind states the, the most the most of them ethnic group is quotes in the cross class. slicing between military and opposition forces the car in violence, a potential escalation of debris, some 2017 cranked down by the military, which killed tens of thousands of ranges and caused the hundreds of thousands to flee them. whereas in 2017, the range of what targeted by one group,

diane now tramped between 2 armed factions who have a track record of killing them. beneath the hunches veneer of control, a country crumbling, the united nations estimate some 18000000 people in the country currently require a humanitarian. this the in about 2 thirds of the population. so while ago i spoke about this with mark farmer in there, he is, director of the burma campaign u. k. that's a london based and g o, the rally support for pro democracy movement. the pro moccasin berman in belmar, i asked him whether the rebel groups who's a real threat to the hooked up. yes, the military's under grades, that's right. now isn't any time since the independence of the con g, i think they most controlled a huge sways of the country. and i think the decades they've been playing this divide and go game between ethnic groups and within estimate groups. and,

and that is, that game is no longer working for them. we're seeing more units, you know, and we'll corporation between different ethnic groups, the fighting, the ministry at the same time. and they're simply not able to cope. we've also seen the big difference being that many of the, the other main estimate grouping, but they've now owned to many different, they've owned single pdf people's defense forces that they've joined with the economies and they're fighting abilities military at the same time. so it's absolutely desperate times for the ministry at the moment, and that's why we're seeing them using such brutal tactics. extra protects against civilian targets, indiscriminate shutting, a bombing across the country. now, the kind of thing. so there are multiple militias fighting against the hunters troops. it's a very diverse society. you say there's a lot of unity there. do the rebel groups really have common cause to they all want the same thing as well. they have common cause and they want to see the military

gone. perhaps they have no, not exactly the same vision of what comes off to us, but there is between the, the larger ethnic groups, the, the national union, and the kitchen, independence organization and the others. there is a lot of behind the scenes cooperation behind the scenes communication and coordination and assistance happening to each other. but yeah, there's also other smaller groups that perhaps like have of course they split from the main economies in the past because of the, the military using these divided little tactics. and you know, that loyalty is a more to themselves, more to the power they have. how it base their, their revenue streams ross, is there any overwriting support for human rights and democracy likes a larger estimate, come to groups. have. okay, how is this civil war affecting the civilian population in myanmar?

it's a, it's a dreadful humanitarian and human rights crisis across the country. more than 3000000 people displaced in gomez, suffering. people who are in there is now the liberated from control of the families military. but also that's the human agencies. most the international agencies, they don't offer it there, so there's very little assistance getting through to people. so yeah, the situation is as dark as i've ever seen in 25 years of working up. i'm attempting u. k. i was visited to come in states just at the end of last year crossing both of that to see and it is for the suffering, the human rights violations, the things that people going through absolutely dreadful. but at the same time, strangely, you, even though things are worse than ever, there's more hope, vanessa, because people are thinking, yes, the situation is absolutely dreadful now. but finally,

perhaps we haven't chance to get rid of the police military by anybody. we can be free of them. and then we can go about having human rights, economic development, democracy, and the other things that people in the country are so desperate for lark. thank you. very much for talking with us today. that was mark farmer with burma campaign u. k. it finally a painting by the austrian artist gustav claimed that was lost for nearly a century. the sold for 30000000 euros, indiana. the auction house said the portrait of miss liza could have fetched much more. were it not for doubts about it's past and the identity of the seller, the workforce commission, by a wealthy, jewish liza family in 1917. but they were forced to flee the nazis, and it's still not clear who acquired painting and how, but the leisure's descendants did approve the sale. so you're watching dw news up next is conflict zone with tim sebastian. i'm terry martin from me and all of us
