see a wide spread races, depression, today. the screen we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism, the how much longer can ukraine's military hold the line and it's war against russia. the question has been posed every day since the russian began its invasion more than 2 years ago, but the answer never seemed as foreboding. as now, early on friday, russian forces launched a mass of ground assault along ukraine's northern border. add this to the struggle already raging along ukraine's eastern frontier and it looks like a multi front more russia advancing. what will it take to prevent ukraine from retreating? i broke off in berlin. this is the day i or the

english that has launched a new way of country offensive does feel very familiar and very threatening. phillips and friends, the side of the news of russian troops crossing those waters island nation. our military knew about this and our forces met will be admin misfire. that the issue was pretty simple. this will we awaken memories of separate congress to and it's not very welcome to be, we still the enemy. we bought hillary fly us. already similar to this is a moment of real deposition print also coming up, it will georgia turn east or west protesters on the streets of the capital. tbilisi said that their country is at a crossroads. if this bill is adopted, it means that we are back in russian orbit and we will not allow this to happen. can you hear people chanting russians?

everyone here realizes that this is going down the russian path to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with what could be a multi front word between ukraine and russia. on friday, ukraine's military said rush, i had launched a massive aerial attack along with a new ground offensive along ukraine's northern border. now this, in addition to the ongoing fighting in the countries east where ukrainian forces are already struggling to hold the lar, early on friday, massive shelving was reported in the town to evolve. john, near the city of, for keith reinforcements had been sent to the region and ukrainian forces are evacuating residents. now we understand that at least one civilian was killed and fridays showing. ukraine's presidential landscape says the attack of the north was not a surprise for his country's forces to find

a g. the dw is the economy. and steve told me more about the attack along the hard key front front. it's really difficult to get a handle on the situation. the geography is pretty complex. you've got a fighting going on near of of chance, which is about 70 below it says northeast of kind of give just on the russian frontier but use a half a pulse. fighting directory knows have kind of give in the kind of village along the board of this which, which are about themselves. 50 comes away as the crow flies from of chance. and then reports of some of the, some of the villages also effected slightly further away. so this is a big area. this is a reminder that your ukraine has a very, very long border about a 1000 kilometers with russia. so even away from the front lines, there is no surgeon needs to be controlled. and it had been expectation that something might happen because russia was building up troops in that part of the country. and just a couple of hours ago, it really seemed like maybe they'd be rolling and then trying to take her to give you credit 2nd city. that doesn't seem to be the case. now we've actually had a report recently from the regional government saying that russia has to be able to

get to church and they've been pushed back. we know opposite choice. that is the conclusive also there's lots reports of basically worst and secretary groups crossing the border and operating kind of classically behind the brand new lines. lots of questions and new friends. not how that was possible. why this board was not better closed off. why they wouldn't mind fields what it was across. and it just really kind of reminds us of the chaos last summer when you had, you bring it back to russian. x of it's doing the same thing on the russian side of the boat. it really seems like it's got a catholic kind of border rates, duration and we can't really tell what it's going for now. yeah, we know that you creating forces are already struggling to hold the line in the eastern part of the country. this could look like it to it by russia to start a 2 front boar. but as you say, we don't know. i mean, could this then be the major question of salt that ukraine has been bracing for? of the i just came back from the front lines in the east a couple of weeks ago. and when you asked people where they are, the soldiers there with the locals. are you expecting some big russian adult? some push they say to you?

it's already started. it's been way more intensive in the last couple months since ukraine started getting less than the way of west to weapons and the russians so that charles, so they didn't really see much shouts from all. but certainly there is. and is there a placement this could be about diversionary tactics. rushed to try to force ukraine to send troops to the effective region to weaken those defensive. these especially was the weights for those $60000000.00 of usa to reach the front lines. and we have seen lots of tool in russian state media about basically so i think kind of give trying to kind of create product and most of the population tried to force people to leave that city to give up. and to basically move further away from the russian border. so there's definitely says the russians want people to be scared, they have busy amounts. there's no way that they wouldn't really have if this was just about the military side. and for now, it is a very different situation. they've had basically be an air raid alarm for the best part of 10 hours. the so it is expedited to the locals. and those people who are close to, to the border, not missing. how does that itself? because the border are definitely packing the cases and even it'd be the economy,

the delays tonight from keith ukraine. nick as always, thank you for your gardening and troops may be facing a new front in this world. they are already dealing with a new weapon, russian glide bonds, the w and economy has more on what has quickly become a major threat to troops and civilians. first, and like almost tearing, to recreate and hanging early in 2024. at least that's according to russian ministry blog is crushing the cranium. social media has been full of these kinds of images in recent months, but seeing it on the screen, but it doesn't quite prepare you for seeing the impact these weapons can have your own noise. this is the damage done by the smallest kind of like pump currently used by russia to almost $50.00. just a small pot of big lot going through it just this was a 250 kilogram. glad pump it up to give you

a sense of scale. i'm to make this tool or disagreeing. your soul just know too well what it feels like to be the receiving end of russian black bowman text. they tell us they 1st came up against them about a year ago. recent months they've been getting bigger and more frequent on the card, bombs, make it using sound. did you hear that sound? and soon enough there is an explosion. you've got debris flying around and then the shockwave future. right now it's the russians go to weapon to force out infantry out of they've dugouts. suppose that even you, it says and let just flatten everything. it doesn't matter. how did you did the of trenches at one hope? this will is the 1st to seek live bones, use a widely into such effect. the technology behind them isn't completely new. this is a hybrid what the solution slide, bottoms that just the conventional, dum, bombs. they have turned into precise smart bombs with the addition of special wink

show they put together crudely, but they're effective. i do know damage the knots, hillary, many grains of us where the country doesn't try to build its own guide. bombs, producing these weapons isn't the problem the most most safely is russia's s 400 defense systems down ukraine. planes, up to 200 kilometers away. degraded experts and soldiers agree. there's a new one realistic onset to rush, just like problems. and that's matching rushes capacity to shoot down the planes that can carry these booms. ukraine is already proven that it's possible. you can, you're forced to say they shut down more than a dozen. russian planes to february alone was experts believe that was down to west and supplied patriot defense systems. that is until the much the russian forces were able to destroy to ukrainian patriot launches sustained ukraine. his captive handful of patriot systems away from the front lines preferring instead to protect the countries big cities. until you can get some more of these defense systems can

again afford to take risks. russian planes kinda like bombs, will have little to for you. well, we spoke earlier with justin crump, she is the ceo of the intelligence consultancy civil law. he explained to us what ukraine needs to counter rushes, glide box. mean, the reason the russian that across, i mean goes to the front lines are the same is the reason you're training and i called them across the tool, which is the defense environment miss. all environment on both sides. i'm russia even was trying to operate and safety is lost. the macro offices we had in the report um, well behind the writing lines to pretty what aisha see printing and tactics. but russell removed the account so that they, they found ways to push you currently in a different spot. they're still very wary of it. so the more a defense ukraine can equip and have the best they can do. they also have some paper costs around if they get the 16 soon to the hoping for over the summer, around the way these across the potentially help them drive back rushing that

across a bit more. they seem to push them 2030 miles to the back, make that a more unsafe area for the russians and they could achieve an effect because they're also going to be risk doing that because the russians out there and defensive the thing, your brains really pull them back on is that you're using on range trying strikes to target the hatfields with these types of coming from to target those with the glad problems of being held. that's one of the other ways that can reduce this, right? but at the moment, not only results, a temporary reduction, this rec structure has so many of these problems it can bring forward. so that's the 3 ways you can, can deal with it. but we're the not quite difficult for ukraine at the moment that alone with the pressure on the citizens. and now haul caves we've got on the well, they are bracing for more pro judge this weekend and the george and capital tbilisi, the government is drawing public anger by it's reintroducing a controversial bill that would require all organizations accepting within 20

percent of their funding from outside the country to register as foreign agents. now the ruling political party says that this bill would help establish transparency, but that has failed to convince thousands who believe that there is russian influence at work. here. you'd have a huge maria content model, so reports a showdown overdue, which is future, is taking place in the streets of to bbc to test us here, c, f, e, just the georgia as part of the european union. but they say the government, but this for an a to this bill is steering the country to what's russia in stock? if this bill is adopted, it means that we are back in russian orbit and we will not allow this to happen. can you hear people chanting russians? everyone here realizes that this is going down the russian path. none of my last

here is one of the faces of the protests. she says the bill goes against the government's promise to become part of the brussels has borne georgia to passing this bill with risk locking the past due. you membership me my. they are deliberately damaging you integration turn down through i but we will not back down. we will fight to the end because being part of the you, i mean, it's our historical choice about a 20 starter way out through a recent poll suggests that the wrong, 80 percent of georgia's support accession to the u. less than oriented policy. but the government, led by the georgia dream potty views, jail politics differently. they're wanting talk to sas. it is focused on avoiding the ukraine, these ation of georgia. and if possible was russia, officials also make use the west of crossing evolution in the country. it has to

see this rhetoric as an unacceptable appeasement across. so i'm just trying to be a freedom and future with the you. it's widely believed that this man is behind george's turn away from the west and most of fortune in russia, in the ninety's, and became the founder of the georgian team party. between a ministry accuse this western countries of modeling in georgia as a fast and causing conflict with its neighbor, russia, georgia and ukraine were not allowed to join nato and we left outside the all such decisions i made by the global war party, which has a decisive influence in nature and the repeating union, and which only sees george ukraine as cannon fodder. hold. sounds that above the court, these parts the ox. russia still occupies parts of georgia in territory since its invasion in 2008. when the, when the experts say it's something the government is keen to remind people off the

so you can see during the all the recent history of georgia, especially the warranty. so that there's too much. so there is sometimes very much improperly used by their moving forward and they are trying to put between, i mean, the society between the choice on the one hand choosing the rooks and no avail there. so i think that we can work with the elections coming up in october of service, say that the next few months will be decides if we do just future for now, the government shows no sign of retreating. protests is to say they will not give up on what they call a site for the europeans to charge. chinese president, she's in pain, has wrapped up a whirlwind tour. here in europe is 1st and 5 years. she was in hungary for the

final stop of his 5 days trip. he met with an gary and a prime minister of victor, or by an in budapest and said that the 2 nations would begin a golden voyage in bilateral relations. she and his wife also visited serbia and france now in paris, france president emanuel mack wrong, and e u commission chief or slip under lion. they both press she to use his influence on russia to in the more in ukraine one cool 2nd. it was issues of stopping hungary, however, that raised quite a few eyebrows. more specifically, it was what was said to sheet hungary as prime minister victor or bonnet, said ben, he greeted the chinese leader with a welcome home message. that's right, you are not the only person wondering what in the world did he mean? here's or bonds explanation. because it came from east. we have several people in the west,

but the origin is very important. so we know the relatives of some of the far away . so when somebody from east is coming to hungry, especially with the high civilization uh for several thousands of years as best as i know, you know, it's always has a special emotional out of mental, definitely think. so it's a good reason to say we will present that feel at home, but how gary and foreign minister expressing a sense of kinship with the chinese people. let's talk about that. did you that i'm joined now by steve saying he's director of the so us china institute in london, steve, it's good to see you, victor, or bon and she's in pain share, obviously more than just political affinities. i mean that they are related in a way, i mean that must be one very interesting family tree. what do you say? well is so to me is very well come from. she can things perspective to hear

what 5 minutes to hold long has to say. but then the history is not something that she can bring guess bell read about. he's only interested in his own version of history. and you have time guarantee wants to be send the version of history that will make teach him things miles, shooting blue smile. yeah. and i'm apparently there was a lot of smiling going on with his visit. how would you describe a hungary is important to she shouldn't be well hungry is very useful to china and therefore to she didn't pay the time that is interest is to engage with the european union on chinese terms and does not wants to face the kind of challenges that united europe in union can present to china by getting hungry firmly in the chinese capital. then hungry will be able to

pastry european union and make it more likely that the you can not broke china in terms of chinese. and patients in that sense who read is very useful and important to china. she also visited serbia and he did so on an important date in the, in the calendar. he was in the capital bill grade of the 25th anniversary of a us led error strike on the chinese embassy there, in which 3 chinese nationals were killed. and the us and the attack in 1999 was a mistake. it took place during the day. there's bombardment of serbian targets during the coach of the we were. so steve, what do you think? what was issues in ping signaling with that visit being scheduled on that particular day? well, the message is very clear. it was the american black natal.

that was the aggressor and the tech chinese cell phone tower, 3 in the chinese embassy in belgrade. and china takes the view that it was natal aggression that ultimately caused the war in ukraine. so yes, china is seizing the re to trying to wind international opinion is that it is the west and let nature, that is the pump room, not china. and she convinced buddy tutored in russia to this week. reuters reported that the united states overtook china is germany's number one trading partner in the 1st quarter of this year. does that tell you that this is proof that germany as, as well as europe,

is now in the process of de risking itself from china. but it is certainly a response to how your pin chinese relationships have changed in the last 5 years. the previous location, when she jumping, visited europe in 2019 to europe in union, and europe january the whig stream. the welcoming and supportive of china is more than i stationed. the risking idea is a response to pop rooms that they have seen since then. and that has resulted in china becoming a less important trading partner to you and america emerging on top, steve and saying director of the so i so china institute, steve is always we appreciate your time, appreciate you taking the time to be with us on this friday thank you. you're welcome. the well,
