Yep. And so, um, ill put down see the situation as always in these cases is very daughter for children and families on the down. Those costs, 1st and foremost is there is q and, and the a, the emissions that the government is leaving. Now i think thats the 1st the response to that should happen and this isnt happening. And i was hoping to get the 1st 30 to 2 hours on very, very difficult. So i think thats where we are now. And then as we see the numbers, the tool is really rising by the hour. Unfortunately, i have expected to keep pricing. So its, its really a nice situation needs will continue to advance from housing to water and sanitation facilities of food and Nutrition Services for, for children of go to the education and the system is impacted with schooling. Offices being impacted by their plate. So their needs will continue to rise as we go. And thats where we as in it says, i think the International Community is really to, to, to come and support and ask me that coming to terms with whats going on must be difficult for anyone. But what about children . How do they cope with disasters like this . Yeah, so i think thats one of the biggest needs for children is the biggest kind of the psycho social support. So something thats up down some, some services that will help them cope with the reality. The new reality that there has been many of them weve talked about lost family members. Many of them would have loved it. And some of them might like to or might be, am now on our company alone. So thats one of the major responses that needs to be there is uh for, for these kind of Holistic Services where not only the physical hills businesses and it says and, and hills will go through the mental and, and its like a logical health is that is really taking care of this, this is a major event in their life and its not a happy event.

And thats where things that and, and we need to make sure that they are with care for um, provided with some of them as the, in the coming days. Uh, some spaces for them to, to uh, uh, kind of thinned that play and try to enjoy life as a new, as before. How well placed would you say morocco is in terms of giving that support that youre talking about, as well as providing the results as to deal with the devastation on this scale. The as i said, the now the focus is on the risk emissions and thats where uh, the country is putting it in 1st, which is much, much needed now. And as i said before, you use it is really, really we already um, mobilized our human resources. And put them on a standby for any any gaps, any need that we can. We can help with that, and can i spell out of your, your, on cole, you say, but has morocco actually reached out to you and other organizations that enough countries for the help it needs . So as i said, i didnt have information about the its reaching out to other countries. I knew that from, i guess the perspective we are waiting for for the country to expensive needs needs is need for, for us to, to, to come in and we are on staff by signing those funds, these unicef organization. Thank you very much for feeling as in, on the situation very more. Okay. A German Foreign minister on elena bab bulk is making a surprise visit the keys. Its a false trip to ukraine since the start of the ball box starting by overnight train from poland was unannounced for security reasons. The trip is a show of german support for ukraines counter offensive against the russian invasion. That bulk has announced 20000000. 00 euros in extra humanitarian aid. When economy has covered the ukraine war extensively for us and joins us now in the studio to talk about this. Nick, what kind of signal is the German Foreign minister sending that with district . Well, i think this was important, this is, as you mentioned before, its trip and it was a mixture of kind of a encouragement and simple, but it will serve cools full more efforts to fight corruption. There being some pretty big corpuscles in reason weve come out about to move to be truman seemed Ukrainian Defense and this to have to leave his post. But there was a real sense that this is now kind of argument between friends, between kind of neighbors and family evens, made it very clear that ukraine was on his way to the you. She said that you knew cranes mention, the opinion was a geopolitical consequence of russias war against ukraine and that was made and the come most extinct and clear way than have been before. And it was real sense that ukraines not going be allowed to leave and kind of languish and kind of grades and as a buffer between europe and russia in the future.

So in about an hour from now tell us a bit about what views can expect from that be because i believe they can ask you directly. Questions about whats going on in this war. And what could be expect . Exactly, so this is about taking kind of a buzz i view of the conflict trying get a sense now kind of a year in off, in of where this is going of the difficulty to say about covering the conflict. We kind of want to be open about what we can say, what we call it saying what we can know and count the results that you havent been able to talk about what and since that prince of the russians were let us in. So we were in the, on the ukraine, inside front lines. That is just a given very few western Media Outlets have seen the other side is they have, theyve been with mind to some extent that isnt typical on the ukraine inside of the front line. So its one sided reporting, but thats the reality the reality. And its also about you who it may be our perspectives on ukraine. Ive seen that since 2017. Ive seen it out before this phase of the conflict and to get a sense of where this is going and how this might impact modern and ukraine in the kind of close the region. But the world wide and where do you see it go . I think its not ending anytime soon. There is always talk of being willing to engage in negotiation, but i dont see any of the sides of the russian where you can seeing that theyre going to lose and have to make painful compromises. So i think this is here to stay. I think its kind of fascinating how this construct has impacted wide world. Weve seen the issue of grain, weve seen food prices, weve seen energy prices. This is a golfing. That is about more than just this part of this in europe, suddenly so many different people and countries and other players have been dragged in they quarterly.
