the, the, you're watching dw news live from button and jerry by an appeal. so the defense of democracy, invoking the legacy of world war 2 best friends, are not asking us to scale these cliffs, or ask us to stay true. what america stands for. we'll have more of joe biden, speech in normandy, on the 80th out of the 3 of the da landings will say, coming up on the program, ukraine's president below them is lensky addresses the french parliament as he meets the us president. he says he promises to stand by ukraine, plus saddam's army promises a harsh response to a power military attack. the kills more than 100 people. we look at the listening

violence in the country in the course of symbols the menu mckinnon. welcome to the program. thanks so much for being with us. the us president joe biden has cooled on his fellow americans to defend democracy from threats at home and abroad. us president, speaking at point to hook in front sweat american soldiers for a pivotal bathroom during the d day invasion. 80 years ago and speech follows a pledge of support. so you crane and it's war against russia and comes during a divisive election race with his republican rival. donald trump is more of what you have. i didn't have to say on you as a guy that her today is not just the honor. those showed such

a remarkable bravery on that day. june 6th, 1944. so much as the echoes of their voices to hear them. because they are somebody, this is some of us now they ask us what we do. they're not asking us to scale the squares. they're asking us to stay true with america stands for. we're not asking us to give a risk our lives are asking us care for others in our country for that ourselves. they're not asking us to do their job or asking us to do our job, to protect freedom of our time. the found democracy, the style of regression abroad, and at home, the par, something bigger than our so to the pot, something bigger than ourselves. that was the us president joe bite and speaking just moments ago and talked more about a job i didn't speech, i'm joined by the w. william blue cross here in the studio. william

a big speech and a historic location. what stood out to you from what we heard from joe biden today? it was shorter than i thought. so, and she didn't have any real one liners. i would really expect any, some kind of, you know, take away sound bite that something very easily quotable. somebody like what we heard in the state of the union. we didn't hear a lot of that today. he waved in and out. we kind of had the historian and chief with the, with the president, kind of which is something kind of become a thing for joe biden. recently, he was at the us holocaust memorial and much of his speech. there was just kind of giving a history lesson about the holocaust. so he's this has become a pattern for him of spending a lot of his of his talk time. literally just going through historical facts, which of course, it's 80 years later since the day a bite him probably see this very important cause it's become, it's been so much time that it's actually important just to remind people of what actually happened that in itself is a political statement just to give the facts of what happened. and i also thought

that he would be a more concrete about ukraine, but he wasn't here obviously, references to both to the threat of russia and the domestic threat of donald trump . there was some, he never mentioned donald trump, but there were definitely talks about defending democracy at home and abroad. and, but there was nothing really that concrete about supporting your fan. uh, it was interesting. he just kind of leading back and forth about the united states and opening a debt of gratitude to the people that fought for freedom then in world war 2 and maintaining that legacy today. he did also speak yesterday in norman rome and they didn't. hey, so just remind us what he said there and how those themes linked up. yeah, they're very similar speeches, although i thought yes, it was more concrete, which was the actual anniversary. june 6th of the d. day landings and he talked more about the importance of alliances that the day was a good example of because it was a, it was a multi allied effort to storm those beaches and, and begin the liberation of france and then western europe. i think that was a clear connection to the, to the importance of nato,

something that is very important for joe biden, less important to his opponent of donald trump and something that, at least on this side of the atlantic, people are very worried about as they are worried about in 2016 and donald trump's 1st term survive then? um so yeah, the speech of are actually very similar. i thought i thought yesterdays was more concrete. the big issue that donald, that, excuse me, joe biden has he was trying to, you know, look beyond yourself, don't just think about yourself. don't be selfish. but the very heart of liberal democracy, especially america's flavor available democracy is the individual america is about you. the individual protecting your rights. so it's a bit difficult for joe biden to walk this line in a country and a system that's set up to be about you the individual to try to hearken back to this sort of j f k not ask, not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country, that is a very difficult argument to make, especially in a place like united states. i what's to ask you about a sort of the focus that he did put on ukraine. but i wanted to ask you festival

about the location because it was a very historic location that was chosen for this speech. and i know that we can hopefully of you as can see it behind. as we've got a picture of punch in a box. can you tell us a little bit about that? yeah, i mean, this picture is really great because you can see the how it gets out this cliff elevation getting out into the water. both sides, omaha beach, utah beach, where some of the largest bottles took place on d day the american forces spearheaded those beaches and the germans have guns. what it now is a memorial. the germans had guns on the top of that cliff that could fire down a great line of sight onto those beaches. an american commanders, british commanders, alec commander, said, we can't let that athens so they sent these rangers out in advance is army rangers and elite part of the us army, which drove by and talked about. it talked about the speech you have about the rangers, bravery, and valor. and this is where the rangers really made their name a reputation that exist to this day. they also feature probably in the black hawk down. just ask very nice, 93 in somalia, for example. they scaled these cliffs on rough seas, bad weather,

bad lighting conditions, under fire, and with great losses. i took the cliff and then proceeded to then go inland to extend their mission and hold that ground until more force it could could come to a to help them. and i think job, i did try to really evoke that sense of history. didn't he use terms like the cracking of bullet and he really tried to take that picture. exactly. he would, he painted the picture and if we could just and also you know, the link, he obviously did mention ukraine creating that link between ac is ago. and today, there is a war going on and in europe today, very similar to what am i knew where my call has been saying in the last 2 days. do you think that that link was made vividly enough? the people will understand the, the links between the 2 of them. yeah, i think the parallels can be clear that they're trying to make and there's been stairs been on both sides. russia, as well as, there's been so much world war 2 narrative being used to try to, you know,

inspire people or provoke people into this conflict. and there are parallels there, there. this is the largest land battle in europe since world war 2. but of course, we're not seeing the, the full scale mobilization to fight this war. we're not seeing a direct conflict between major power. so there are of course differences, and there's more division. i mean, there were divisions in world war 2 among the allies, but there's far more to date under where then utilities will improve clubs. thanks so much for that analysis. now the ukranian president love him, is a lensky is due to hold talks with president mccall at the indies a palace in paris later because he's also visiting problems as part of the d day anniversary events. earlier today, he addressed the french parliament and sent in his message to french little may, cuz he said, europe was no longer a consonant of pete's and then he also praised president mack homes, promise of fi, suggests to ukraine as

a sign that european values are still going strong, let's him more of what he had to say. least you which he a, keep it really in friends come back across under the control of ukrainian pilots will prove that europe is stronger, stronger than the evil that dares to threaten europe. side of now, just as 80 years ago, we can prove the power of all unity, the power of the alliance, the power of our shed ideals, nation speeding, the w sonya follicle arisen paris and tell me more about zalinski speech to french will make us earlier. it was a preston zalinski um you know, received a standing ovation. um the moment you entered uh the assembly not sonata francis parliament. and he kind of, you know, touched on some of the teams that was invoked during the tooth. and we'll see of the dd landings in normandy yesterday where, where he was also present and where, you know, wisdom the, those pay tribute to his countries up 3 for the,

for not giving into russian aggression. and so, so let's kind of, you know, do 5 lives between the hollows of what, what to win the continuing bombardment of the ukrainian populace. he says this is actually for ukraine has the same existential value for your. he described russia as a common enemy. and you said this battle is, is essentially a crossroads. the auto piece i, i quotes, we can either defend freedom or become victims of history. so this was really a very and will to speech. and the also ended by, by, of course, acknowledging preston, my cause announcement of sending these mirage calling about a croft to, to ukraine and training and creating pilots and fonts, which is a pretty significant announcement. absolutely. i mean, president my call has repeatedly pushed for more support, so you train hasn't to you in that have sometimes ruffled feathers in nato and within the you. is he aware of the risks of disposition fee? thank or i think a lot of people would like to know, you know, what, he's,

what he's thinking, what's going on in his mind on this. but it's true that he really and especially in recent months, has really been at the forefront of efforts to ensure up to, to riley supports for your pre. and i'm, it's fair to say, i think just that he's gone from something of being a dog to a hawk. the ukraine brush conflict. he's coming a really long way from making these conciliatory gestures to russia at the beginning of the full scale invasion in recent months. he's really up to the torak against russia, you know, advocating a kind of no limits approach to what to countering president booty. then you're right. he has roughened quite a few for those with suggestions of sending uh french troops to ukraine, potentially sending military cleaners to ukraine as well as, of course that has spark controversy, not just among his allies, but also his little criticism. here in france, a by a by opposition, lawmakers will say, you know, he's just grandstanding and trying to extract the mileage from the ukraine. russia

conflict, but like what kind of stands by this and says, this is a way to also remind you all that it needs to be wake up with the fact that it's not sufficiently um to face lee complex, right. like the russian regression. and i think he likes to style himself as a disrupt uh, you know, using this to kind of get to autopay. and so think hard about the security and coming up with the credible security strategy which is less dependent on the us. and you found that kind of reporting that from paris now you cranes, ne. so allies recently allowed strikes using western weapons inside russian territory. now front says it will start training ukrainian pilots inside ukraine as part of its delivery of narrows fi suggests. now that has russia warning of a dangerous escalation with nature. they've already been working together in neighboring poland. these images show ukrainian recruits being trained by french and other nato instructors in april. the ukraine has long wanted such training in

the side ukraine. now for some $150000.00 fresh recruits brigade by brigade, they can then be deployed to front lines within hours if needed, rather than days or weeks. but nato boots on the ground, even those of instructors dramatically raised the stakes, potentially drawing the united states and europe more directly into the war rush. i was quick to respond to the idea 1st leak to french media news. much of this we must, regardless of where the members of the frenched on false, of authentic must in their research. they were present and absolutely judging the target for our on choices. so in the national photos on this, it's not the 1st time russia has talked tough about ever more threatening western military aid to ukraine. and it's not the 1st time the west has changed its mind about such 8, especially in the last year and more so after moscow started cleaning more

victories in recent months. western allies cross their own previous red lines with, for example, u. s. high mars mo bile rocket launchers, germany, the u. k. and the you, wes agreed to send heavy duty tax. the u. s. gave the green light to countries wanting to send us made fighter jets, and then quietly joe biden turned $180.00 degrees and told ukraine it can hit targets inside russia with us made missile. the calls we nato's chief was already on board. the time has come to consider whether it will be right to lift some of those restrictions which have been in post lifting restrictions like putting nato military personnel, including military instructors in harm's way, inside ukraine. sick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world now. and india is never under moody says he has been invited by the president

to form a new governments. earlier in the day, he was formally elected by lawmakers of his national democratic alliance. as prime minister for a 3rd consecutive to body will lead a coalition of to his policy, the b j. p failed to secure a new jersey at least 7 people, including several children have been killed in a bus accident in syria. the school bus skid is off the road and plunged into a river rescue teams search for survivors for about 6 hours an explosion at a hardware store in the romanian town. and also sean has injured, at least the same people for us and seriously evictions suffered various traumas in guns that will sorry to you said the incident may have been caused by a malfunction. at the gas station on the side, the story also don's army chief, has visited the sites of an attack that killed more than 100 people local student.

these officials say that were 2 waves of attacks on a village and gives their estates, women and children were reportedly among the victims. the army is blaming the rapids support forces or are assessed the power of power, military group, excuse me, has been battling the sudanese military since april 2023 and we can get more on this from dw correspondence. felix miranda. felix. can you tell us more about this attack festival? so this i talked to clears funds as the evening and the so dance part of military group, the artists have fled by having done the gallo has been blamed for the attack. this is the 2nd attack within this week, the fast, the dog that killed about 104 people. this latest, that talk that has queued about 40 people. multiple people have been in judge some of them whereas to

a university hospital in nearby. and i was also rushed to several other probably because because we've seen an on demand area, this is a twin c, a tween copy to our we've kind of tool. now this settled by tax have been taking place and a lot of civilians have died so far and the numbers are working because the sofa, the estimated down by since the war began. and yeah, go is about 150000 and the numbers just keep going by the felix is this incident likely to trigger a response, a hoss response and move violence? so when general brandon went to visit to the victims of when is the attack? he said that our staff will be dealt with harshly and every other time that the truly does that is the general general, one of the military and at home done the got little of the art assess every other time that they keep saying that they will be released it's of

a high sleep then what happens next becomes an issue where by civilians are caught in between. uh then verify and most most of the time civilians end up dead and that will lead us just to pulling to that side. so i would like you to see more sending more tasks. yes, in the coming days, that is very likely the un secretary general, antonio guitar has strongly contend this attack. but other than condemnation, i mean what kind of all there any concrete measures that can be taken to somehow bring this finance to an end? or they have been several efforts to bring the totally does to the table is to discuss and in the will at least for that sedan site. so that's transition to democracy. can i get back on it's feet? but berkeley does have seemed to take the headstones, are essentially that saying that whatever the military is doing is the role the military lead testing,

whatever they're assess is doing is wrong. so there's more that can be done, but it will need that to lead us to come together. sit on a table and agree and sofa. and the last one. yeah. nothing of that has taken place . they don't seem to be agreeing, and that's why that will keeps going. so yes, that you and has condemned otherwise lead us up, condemned to these sorts of attacks. but um, that totally does not seem like they are willing to let go of their guns and come to a discussion table as gets the next. thank you so much for bringing us up to date the that's the w correspondence. felix miranda, of the united nations. and also condemned and is really a task on a un run school and central gaza. it says the strike killed at least $35.00 people and wounded many more. these ready military says it carried out a strike target saying how most flights of who were involved in the october. the 7th terror attacks cools on now growing for an investigation into the instant

around 6000 palestinians from only because a with sheltering in this form is school and rough facility in the right when it was targeted by in is really strikes this why. what have we done for them to bomb us? we fled from place to place, you know, under a school of safe with no 10 to safety and there is no safe place when have you $100.00 so you know, for 3 lift up to the sounds of broken remains of people with scattered a be there a gas kind of strict sold children, died screaming in the street, was a blood vault. my nephew was killed in the bodies of the victims killed in the attack. i lined up outside the ox, the hospital family members say the final good byes, the food,

the funeral. pres, a said israel is defending its decision to strike the school. they say they were targeting members of hamas and islamic jihad, who inside we assess that 20 to 30 terrorist. what in the compound, at the time of the strike, we targeted with precision strikes on the specific classrooms on the specific classrooms. what we know, of course, we know that the terrorists were what they were doing, and inside a u. n. school, they were hiding. the compound was useful staging attacks and as a full what operating base the united nations has condemned. the attack on this shelter and gaza and accused israel of breaking international humanitarian law are

now over the next 3 days, around 370000000 people across the you are being called upon to elect a new european parliament. the netherlands kicked off the 1st day of those thing. now the checks on the irish shuttle, so costing balance, migration and asylum are important issues in island where many candidates are running on an empty immigration platform. whole suggests that right, leading policies could win more states across the u. this time around. an exit polls in the netherlands even put the far right freedom policy in 2nd place just behind the social democratic green alliance. so what's behind the phone, right? such in the popularity is dw strapped part with more that's the big question. it doesn't matter what happens in each country, really, obviously it matters where the votes come in and whether they get the seats. but the key issue in the european elections is whether those fall right policies from across different countries, from italy, for instance, as well,

whether they can come together. i've 15 a group in new york impala and it's a ton you repeat in group, in the far right policies. and there are many, many speculations about the different permutations and ways in which those, those policies perform those groups. and you look at maureen, depends rest of them on that. so you're not in frogs. when you look at the brothers eventually, if the joy of georgia monroe need be, it's holly and prime minister. how will they old system work together? and will they be able to come to enough of an agreement to have real legislative power, perhaps blocking power in the next 5 years of the european union's mandates. now staying in europe, his more about a very special piece of classical music because beethoven's, oh, to joy has been the use official and some since 1985 is a look at what makes it so important for your pins. the

beethoven's 9th symphony still touches people at the set up and dressed in french president, am unaware of my call, made an impassioned plea in favor of europe. and one of the most moving moments was the ode to joy. a piece of music that the council of europe took on assets anthem in 1972 european leaders adopted in 1985 as the official anthem of the european union. and then still the european economic community saying that the ode to joy symbolized the values that everyone shares, the unity in diversity. but why beethoven's 9th, the people from coming today to veneers associated with the european personality and his work with something that goes beyond a purely national perspective he visited, although the joy is often performed with its original german text. the european

anthem is a wordless version. so no one language has favored beethoven, symphony number 9, and d minor premier 200 years ago in vienna. it's become one of the most famous pieces of music in the world. the 9th symphony has special meaning for a country war, says ukrainian conductor, oaks on. and lynn is who considers himself a citizen of the world. this is near i simply this is more than a symphony. it's become a concept in our culture as a very clear opposition to barbarism adult in the 2 bottom by what my new takes on beethoven himself thought of who symphony being used as an anthem for a united europe. it was the end of the feudal era on the months of pay to the bush while moved from began. and he was definitely one of the founding fathers. in today's world, he would definitely be committed. european beethoven shared the vision that all people should be brothers and sisters. the european anthem stands for the freedom,

peace and solidarity of the united europe. the now before we go, here's a question for you. who makes the best pizza? well to find out the on. so the origin turned in capital one, i'm sorry, is, is just hosted the world pizza and panata tournaments while the freestyle acrobatic section of the competition provided. the most action participants competed in a variety of categories from the longest bo stretch to the best tasting products. more than a 170 ships from all over the world to part somewhat even blindfolded. and the winner was a chef from auction team. now we know you're watching dw news. his reminder about some story us president joe biden has appealed to the defense of democracy at the size of the da landings in moving to those that i can see. world

war 2 veterans saying that america has to stand true to what it's stay true to what it stands for, that you're up to date and then you keeps mckinnon. thank you so much for cdw the,

the, the how do we solve the climate crisis? look at what you know about the useful political debate for the 2024 european election of this script. we need to, uh, typically make a system which is discuss what do you expect from us, what from, from politics. so we have the solutions, the scripts on

d w really the crazy to me any artist and to pursue art history. that me a little bit of like crazy musician and producer victoria full on a shares, rotating all the meaning of home and creativity. being home is like being rooted and grounded in your self in your shoes as an artist of remax. in 16 minutes on dw, the dw show on 6 on the inside every day, the world kasha really world wide web, feel free to leave the timeline. because we can take the different w, call the world and also your info and

all the input your b w story now on to the they really have no idea how tripping some laws are for our farm is that's really doesn't work. and the practice is very clear, what politicians should do, all the things that you're familiar with to do them. obviously the hope and politicians is not very high here. forget or do you know about the usual political, the paid for the 2024. you repeat election, we are flipping the script. folders will be at the center of the debate. and politicians will ask the questions on topics, shaping the election. like the climate crisis. i'm brittany, i'm active in these things, rebellion state to face. they come with crisis and to escape us like lemons collapse. we should be.
