american you how it welcome to the program. south africa is celebrating its freedom day 30 years on from its transition to democracy from the racial segregation of a possible celebrations in pretoria were attended by the country's leaders and included musical performances and a 21 gun salute. but the festivities come at the time of the discontent with the current government. president several ran a pause that is expected to face a stone test in a nation wide election next month. south africa is one of the continents leading economies, but severe economic challenges as rising unemployment and dance and the optimism upstairs use. now south african celebrating freedom di told a doubly what 3 decades of democracy has made to the is like people being together

like everyone like joining together, working together, changing like everyone, being able to live amongst these community. not mine's either. one of the not looking at the one another like this person in that know like all of us do one thing for one purpose. i sort of the more pressing enough of change, you know, for whatever binded as to what have other people wanted us to become. it's an opportunity to, to become a self, i believe good off with this 1st city is there's been a lot of change, especially of all his blood sugar and some things that we could never reach us, our elders could. and we were able to do the movement, democrats, we didn't know about them now during democracy, children are able to get food at schools. there is also a free transport for kids. and now we have no school fees. when it comes to medical matches at clinics, you can get free treatment before we didn't have those things. there were been

a lot of positive changes, but we know that we still need to do more. we need to pull more some more today, but most people we heard from sounding pretty positive about their hopes for the future. after 30 years of democracy that corresponded to and who is in the south african capital pretoria. diane, what's your breed on the most vague in south africa as the celebrations take place as well. i think many salt efforts in reflecting today on how things have changed and the story of south africa's democracy is, is quite complex when we come from the history of 300 years of a party girl. and thus far we've had the 2 years of democratic rule. so i think that the, the is some positivity and people are realizing that they've been a significant changes to our lives here in south africa. people being able to access services that they would never have had before. things like housing improvements and also other services that have been delivered. but of course,

as we heard from one of the, the speakers, the in that in the, that i interviewed and you're on the, is the sense that these more that needs to be done. and there's a high level of any quality in south africa. and that has lead to quite a lot of frustration amongst citizens here who can see that they are a group of very rich citizens. what do we need streaming? well, and then the other people who are really struggling to get by and to make ends meet on the daily basis during president serial rema post a spoke at the event like what reflective on the changes in the country of the 3 decade supposedly as lucy was then i think the 15 also allowed for that the reflection of the event was held at the union buildings. and that was the, the site we, you know, nelson mandela was inaugurated in 1994. it was also the seat of the project

government. and so, you know, it, it really does signify a change in the country, a changing in leadership and the changing approach to governance. let's take a listen to what around the push the head to say of the thing is described as the beginning of a new movie for pessimism. additive vision, to nation building reconciliation in the see 9092. so that is per miss on the read. all right, so we'll run the pose of the diane,

it's through the use of democracy. south africa has only been to governed by the i n c. i wonder how seriously could that dominance be tested ahead in the upcoming election. as well indications are that the election that's due to take place next month will be one of the toughest taste, if not the toughest taste for the ruling a and c b r. number of factors that has a sort of put the and see in this position. there's a lot of frustration around issues like power outages in south africa. and the growing unemployment levels have really lift. the young south africans frustrates it. and of course, you add to that the fact that we've got a number of new political parties that have joined and very active opposition. parties that are campaigning on these very issues like unemployment and the low cheating, the crisis, the power outage crisis. and what we see,

and some of the polls that are coming through ahead of the election is that although the a and c would still most likely receive a high number of folks, they not going to get the kind of numbers that we've seen them getting before above 60 percent, it looks like they could go lower and they are, or there's also quite a bit of speculation that may actually result in seeing a coalition government at the national government level. of course, we have a month to go until that election takes place and a lot more competing still to be done. but when you speak to people on the ground, really they are saying that they are open to hear what other political parties have to say. even though they have perhaps, supported the amc for quite some time and that is a bit of an indication also of how difficult the election is likely to be anthony election coming up. going hold on freedom day in pretoria. thank you so much. i now power plants and electrical facilities in central and west and ukraine has come

under attack. embrace and wakes of russia has been targeting ukrainian energy infrastructure. rushing missiles also struck a psychiatric hospital in the east and city of hawk. he's leaving several buildings . damage provides the tax come as decline is running low on a defense me solves and is waiting for a much needed boost of military surprise. supplies rather from the united states, have the w correspondent, caroline, that you know, it has more on rush and strikes on you training in the destruction. we can definitely say that the attacks from russia has been intensified, especially in the past month. and this is also because uh, as, as the, you know, the, a package from the united states was on hold in that country. so this 6 months have definitely given russia an advantage not only to advance and take cities like i've discussed, but also to keep on planning their next their next targets. like the missile

attacks we saw yesterday. and from caroline to jim we in ukraine, a quick look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world stride it has announced a 100000000 dollar a package for you crime. that's about 60000000 euros. defense minister richard miles announced a funding during a visit to the training city of levine, where he met with prime minister of danish, my home. the money will go towards short range of defense systems, drones and other military equipment. increase his pipe tribute to the victims of the 2 noble nuclear disaster on the 30th anniversary of the event. $199061.00 of the power plants reactors exploded, causing the will with nuclear accident. as a couple of them is, zalinski has one of the risks of a repeat. if russia attacks nucleus sites. a dozens of tornadoes had struck parts of the us, destroying hundreds of homes and farm land, mainly around the city of omaha, nebraska, if been reports of injuries,
