the the, you're watching data we can use live from building the you with pledge as mole patriot me solve for you, cried the pot of a $6000000000.00 a package which doesn't include any additional patriot air defense systems to long stem despite keeps asking for more also a head heavy monitoring, ryan's bass at east africa, causing this to be of flooding. kenya is government says the rising voices of already killed at least 70 people. bear with more down poles, full cost, the

charger aid. welcome to the program. the us says it will provide you crying with mole patriot missiles as part of a fresh $6000000000.00 a package, but they won't be supplying any additional patriot systems to launch them despite keep insisting that they need more to defend you crime cities from russian aerial attacks the us defense secretary lloyd austin, made the announcement which also included a pledge to ross more artillery tillery munitions to the country on friday of 6. but i would point out that it's not just patriot that, that as you know, they need, they need other types of systems and interceptors as well. and so i would caution us all in terms of making patriot the silver bullet. i would say that it's got, it's going to be the integrated here in mentor missile defense. as we said so many times before that really turns a tight. and so there are other capabilities that they need that we really pushed

hard to get. and we may be able to get to, to the ukrainians a bit faster. but this work continues on from our analysis. let's bring in frank language now. he's a senior lecture in military strategy at portsmouth university and the phone that u. k. military intelligence office. so good to see you again, frank, at now the us is sending a $6000000000.00 us dollar package to ukraine as we just heard it includes munition and a defense systems. tell us, what difference do you think this will make on the battlefield a morning judge. well, in the woods of general austin, i wont ton, the tie to us. it will do is blunt russian advances in 2 ways. the 1st way obviously is by reinforcing you. credit is vital artillery um with the western supplied 155 shelves. that's not so important. they've been out guns daily on the front for a long time. now. concerning our defenses, that's almost equally important. and it is disappointing that the americans have

not forwarded more patriot batteries. they have 80 boxes and pantry, 400 launches. i suspect the problem is that they are wanting to keep those gates. any conflict with china spot easy credit is not, but to the extent that they've got some already to set this the besides themselves . and i think as we go forward, more in the form of other systems that last had mentioned that will allow the credit is to push back the russian arrow advances that have been made to the ukraine. the lines have been suffering very badly under what's called the under light bones. thousands of them, some people say which happen. i think that's a decisive of the last few weeks. however, what none of this will do, and this is really important, is generate more man power. the ukraine has been taking final casualties and they've been telling us they are under the under serious pressure on the additional front. and that's not forget, this is a war of attrition. and in not in the mount pa front, the russians have the advantage. and there's nothing that west can do about

generate to more stuff. that's a very big topic. but it's absolutely central frank, speaking of this pressure that you just talked about, keith say, is russia has attacked energy facilities in 3 regions on saturday, part of a renew bombardment of the ukraine of ukraine's energy sector. what's the strategic purpose of these attacks? do you think still i think conducting, as you say, strategic attacks, which is to say, attacks essentially against across the, across the ukraine in economy and indeed into the civilian sector. since late 2022 . with the objective 1st of undermining the morality of credit and population. and secondly, disabling the crating economy. i think even equally to so i'm not types of effect, especially over the last few weeks. it's worth saying, however, that you credit is really resilient with respect to its electrical supplies, and that's not forgot that much of it so much of its supply supply by nuclear power,

which the russians are highly unlikely to touch unless it's doing damage of almost equal importance. however, is the approach lessons to take, you know, in attacking ukraine's railway network. and that's something i think that many of us have been wondering what was going to happen. it seems to be happening with far more intensity now. and that's really important. and a accentuates again of course, the vital importance of high end, highly effective defense systems. frank, given everything you just said, what do you think, what we can expect the war to how it will progress in the coming weeks? i think the russia will continue. somebody could fonts is over the next few weeks as well, say that none of the very few of the supplies, although the americans are working on other allies, are working very, very effective and efficiently to fund for these supplies, the bulk of the month. right. right. but for the over the next few weeks, unless you're willing definitely take advantage to the higher because i think the paintings are expecting an offensive at some point to the next few weeks as well.

content to continue, they continue to reinforce the advance advances i've made. so can expect that i think beyond that, we're looking at political decisions. but for the next few weeks, we could expect continued rushman pressure, perhaps a rather larger offensive comp paid by then. i expect the credit is to lock the to hold, but they will have to give temperature, i think. okay, military analyst, frank language, the frank, always good to talk to you. thanks a lot. a denise dr. can now where weeks of monsoon ryans have been reading, have a cross, much of the region. tons of media is reporting at least $150.00 dead from slots and land slides. the government in 10, yes is the extreme way that there has now kids killed at least 70 people since march city of flooding has force thousands from their homes as well. the w correspondent, felix the ring reports now from nairobi. this is the aftermath of heavy rains that have continued to pump new robes in the past few days. just being the

echo tries to see what is left after the diverse teaching flats that keeps this area. she lost all of my belongings, that even nearby broke its bunks, leaving everyone's progress for safety. are they doing any cube of death? was my own eyes. a neighbor of mine was saved and rushed to the hospital. i don't even want to see the rain because when my sons seized the rain, he keeps telling me we need to sleep, go to the countryside because we almost died yesterday, the will to go again. the floods have left presidents by the government has asked people to move to higher grounds to avoid a repeat of what has taken place. but many, let's just say i sort of options. send them to you. i don't have any place to go here in nairobi is in the class. god could save me, at least i would have a place to go to. i'm going to say it in the bedroom and book we're in so far. dozens of people have been reported dead across the country. the displaced the victims have been she has had this quote and challenges,

many between activity and shock. we've lost everything and didn't save anything. children's books, there floats, nights, or sees. there is nothing we could save all that is left that the clothes are nowhere to box us go on. people, i've lots houses. people, i've lost our belongings. people, i've lost the clubs. we, i'm dire need of medication, clothing and shelter applied to this. we cannot stay in the school forever since schools open next week. if we get provisions like blankets, mattresses and money to start over again, will be good if it's like one thing the chalet. so that's it to rain again and many residents would not even want to see a sound of the best thing that you said over there in being a blessing to them. this one has come with such huge losses. some of them do not even have anything else remaining. those ones who are being taken to template rather tells us feel that steve, any of those challenges then not say 5 to one of the victims, no one to the government to act fast. city government,

the government should intervene faster and get us out of the shelter since our lives are all at risk. some even have 2 year old kids there. other kids are weeks old. we're not safe at all. our kids could get infected with pneumonia and other diseases that are piano is up at the airport in the morning. i will bring them back is according to where the forecast varies. the set to continue into the month of me . the victims hope they don't pause and so that they can get on with that lives. we can cross now to nairobi and speak with canyon social rights activists. wilford happy allow, thank you so much for joining us. as i understand your working directly with many people affected by the floods, some of the time we seen in the report, could you tell us exactly what they going through? what are you saying? yeah, that's the look for having be. it's been very trusted team, especially in the area. so smart that a and inform us lawns. 15 minutes. we were watching the yeah,

what i'm getting to assist this. i'm the web. you can see that the solution is doing video, but this to the people out of the scene we've been most uh so i'm not too busy to to be so difficult to list them. nice. the sufficient nice is steve very, very bad. people's team don't have where to go. and the far more most people asked vantage to, and i look to be says studious to be the cover. so i gotta save this, the service that you're saying a lot of people are stranded so, so what's being done to help them? if i understand what you're saying? not enough. yes. the, it's not enough. the government has focused on more,

maybe less video that was affected by the more informed decision manosalvas, phenomenal ideas, this visually clear thoughts about some what data gross has to be sent to. and you can see they also, and so that's why they have to be so, so we owe them as our sense and community members moving that that's the way we can . and this of tv seller, we've been the last 2 days, we're able to be doing 5 bodies very of us. i know that when i ask you about the different factors that could have exacerbated this crisis, and one of them might be planning has the planning of urban areas in kenya, exacerbated walk by saying now. yeah, you know, like 70 percent of skins living slammed suddenly almost settings because they cannot afford to. they more, more planned, a small,

me look less katy as we sell profile last day and they don't know this. so they only houses they can afford that the there was in the mountains because they're cheaper and they, they for nomics vision of the countries not very. so that's why last loans middle because i'm the one i didn't, 16 slots of them don't have any flat. do you think there's to know, so i wonder if most people have be not fit to continue go. uh, i just wanted to ask you is this scenario then given what you're saying, likely to continue into the future and, and happen again. it's it's, it's got to stop it. it's kind of good to you this way because even by small, the government is telling people to go to hire brown's. they are not provided any assistance. i bought some go to india and it was a sense of jobs and other people as the student that's has done some of the

government is you know, desk, i mean i'm giving people. ready a few stuffs in before needs to get a place where they can leave. there is as the low, so we as getting most people i didn't bring money sports with that being offended to mix street. so they have to move out of this loose incest dealer. they don't have one of the things, so that is being written at the moment. it's very, very, very, very, very wide. that's. we might pop more, more cases if they don't, the government does it. that's now, wilford happy, allow social rights activists in nairobi. we really thank you so much for your time . take care. thank you. it is a quick look now at some other stories making headlines to dine. israel's fall rise, national security minister has been entered in a traffic accident. intel of the police say it's a mob been v, it was returning from giving a statement at the scene of
