What Life Is Like In Ukraine | 3 Years Later

Описание: UKRAINE WAR ANNIVERSARY
Today marks 3 years since Russia invaded Ukraine, and some students there have shared what it's been like living through the war. For these kids in Ukraine, war is something they've had to get used to. It's been a long three years for them since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade the country. Since then, millions of Ukranians have been displaced, and hundreds of thousands of people have died. Today, people from around the world are paying tribute, and many countries, including Australia, are calling for an end to the war. While those in Ukraine hope life can get back to normal soon.

AUSTRALIAN ANIMAL DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
A very special dog was given a very special award in Canberra today! Manic the Belgian Malinois was awarded the first ever 'Australian Animal Distinguished Service Award'. It recognises the bravery and dedication of animals who have served in the military, and Manic won for his six years of service with the Australian Defence Force, including in the Middle East. Now that's value for money!

MATILDAS LOSS
Things didn't start off great for the Matildas, when the USA got this goal in the opening minute of their second game of the SheBelieves Cup. Despite putting up a fight, the USA then went on to secure another goal in the 68th minute. And it wasn't until the last ten minutes of the game that the Tillies finally found themselves on the board thanks to this header from Michelle Heyman, but it wasn't enough, with the Americans beating the Tillies 2-1.

MIRRA ANDREEVA
Over to tennis, and 17-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva has become the youngest WTA 1000 winner ever! Wow that trophy looks heavy. She defeated Clara Tauson 7-6, 6-1 at the Dubai Championships, and has big plans for the year ahead.

CRICKET CHAMPSIONS CUP
Now to cricket, and India has claimed the Champions Trophy. They beat hosts, Pakistan, by six wickets. Indian superstar Virat Kohli made an unbeaten century, and became the fastest man to reach 14,000 ODI runs in the process.

SHEEP SHEARER
Finally to Western Australia, where Alexia Phillips has broken the female shearing world record for the most merino ewes shorn in eight hours. She whizzed through 367 sheep, which is an average of about 80 seconds per sheep, and beat her previous record of 358 sheep.

FIDO AWARDS
First up, to the 2025 Fido Awards. It's just like the Oscars, but for dogs! These canine celebrities have starred in some of the year's most popular films. And this year's best in show went to Peggy, for her role in Deadpool and Wolverine.

FLYING CAR
Now to a flying car prototype in the US. This one gets points for actually looking something like a car. And without big wings or propellers sticking out, its creators reckon it could one day be a solid option for a rescue vehicle.

PINBALL CHAMPION
And finally, to the National Pinball Championships, in Townsville! Where the best of the best are all here. That's Escher, who's currently Pinball champion of the world. And this is Emily, who's Australia's reigning female champion. And over on that machine, is 14 year old Lewis, who's the top ranked junior player!
