would help their course. 5 people shot dead near tel aviv. it is the 3rd attack of israel in a week. i knew as president joe biden signs, legislation making, lynching, a federal hate crime. more than a century off. the law was proposed is there, we begin with reports of more russian bombardment to run ukraine's capital of cave and in the chimney. if region of those are the 2 areas of moscow said, it would reduce manager activity after talk to the crane. on tuesday, the attorney of re regional governor says overnight strikes, destroyed libraries, shopping miles and many houses, and to the northwest of cave explosions and fighting could be heard early this morning, but skipped the very latest from him. ranken who's in the capitol and same run. what have you been harrigan? seeing, whoa,

is still hearing those shells going off in the background towards the north of the city. so clearly the shelling still continues. what's a real concern now for, for ukrainian diplomats and people involved with him. the told is what the nature of this russian withdraw looks like. a lot of people are telling us that yes, they may, will be going back to better roost. they may well be going back to russia, or are they going there to basically re supply and re arm ah, before any a new offensive. there's a real mistrust of anything that the russians say coming out of that ukraine. and that's being echoed actually by the pentagon. as well and who basically overnight said, let's see, let's wait and see present. joe biden. as also reiterated, similar i said, similar things, a wait and see approach. so here in cave and there is still fighting, continues that have been counter offensive that have taken place where the craniums of had a significant success, one of those towns, a marquee another boot appeal,

have both been taken up by ukrainian forces. they pushed russian forces out in other towns on the north, a little can boucher and a hostile. the russians are actually surrounded within those towns in the ukrainians. i. l only be a matter of days before they are able to retake those towns. now, all of that is happening, but the still a sense of confusion as to why the russians of made the statement, the ukrainian army granting military are very much saying we actually forced this concession. it wasn't offered to us. this isn't something that the russians are doing out their own law just we actually forced the russian forces out. that's why they're doing this. the russians on their a part a saying, well this is part and parcel of the negotiation. so right now the, the shelling is containing, the fighting is continuing, perhaps not on the ground, but we've been seeing that for a couple of weeks now where the russians been relying much more on ash strike sticking the east and in the bus for here. in reason to rely more on cruise vessels

on rockets on a missiles and on artillery. sell it any more. and so what's the effect of all of this on the residents visit this talk of a potential russian polite but the shelling continues and they've shown a lot of resilience and stoicism till now. what would you sensing well, i'm sensing, we've been seeing this over the past week or so, remember that the russian said the key would fall in the 1st 2 or 3 days of the conflict a we are, they 35 and that hasn't happened. and a lot of people are coming back. i'm just going to show you. i know that this looks completely empty, but honestly, this is busier than i've ever seen at 50 percent of the city had been evacuated slowly. people are coming back here. a lot of people had moved to central ukraine, a since ukraine is where a lot of people have a village homes, ancestral homes. and they went there, but they found that they were living on top of each other. they were stuck and it

was just very uncomfortable. they would rather be back at home. and now, particularly from this news and we are seeing over the last couple of days, much more restaurants being open churches are open, religious places of worship, of being open, people are coming back. so looks like people are cautious. ah, but they are coming back. but that's not because of the recent russian knows when that's because keep his minister with san any kind of intense push or any man thanks mad update to american the in the ukrainian capital or the leader of the self declared in that people's republic as welcome rushes planned to concentrate as far apart in the east. then as suppression says, the surfaces should take ukrainian church quickly. if moscow does change its focus . goldsmith's post now from don, it's dennis michelin sees a bright future for don yet and says it's just around the corner. the head of the self declared people's republic in eastern ukraine says,

russia's decision to focus its military campaign here means that after 8 years of fighting, they'll quickly capture that just under 50 percent of dawn bus territory. key f still control was to the, to them all the territory will be liberated with the active support of the russian federation. it means for don bass, a chance to live, to build the economy. if we can talk again of economic independence for people. it mean to chance to build families without being afraid that at any moment a ukrainian missile could fly in and destroy everything. so, for now, all the able bodied men of dani x are away fighting. don bass has been dependent on russian economic support in the 8 years since don yet scan, lugens broke away from ukraine. the city is quiet, but window shattered by a recent rocket attack that killed 23 people. a reminders of the war the damage is relatively minor compared to the destruction of mario paul. the port

within dawn bass has been flattened and hundreds of thousands of people have fled in the wake of what russia called a special military operation to rid ukraine of what it says are neo nazis. per shilling. says ukrainian nationalists are to blame for the destruction. ah, gospel flooding earth ah, what, what complicates the liberation of the city is that the rival is hiding behind civilians are regiments, have had to act surgically going street by street house by house liberating quarter by quarter. while also considering there are civilians as well as infrastructure that we will have to rebuild this and pushing admits before the operation to take control of mario paul is taking too long the political leadership here believe that with russian firepower concentrated on this region, they can quickly take control of the part of dumbass, the remains in ukrainian hands, but that, of course just pushes the front line further into ukraine. it's only really a negotiated political solution that will ultimately resolve this crisis. bernard

strongest response. and earlier i spoke to ben wallace britton's defense secretary, who made his point clear. president putin can't be let off what he's already done. i mean, the russian government took the decision to invade a sovereign country, killed thousands of potentially. people bombed innocent civilians broken the geneva convention. i done a range of things that is just totally acceptable and that'll stick around for a long time. the invasion of ukraine is creating new geo political and security headaches for next our alliance members across the whole of the continent, raising some big questions about the security of the arctic region as well as the wes choice to wean itself off russian oil and gas is looking to norway to make up for shortfalls, meaning new security implications for protecting oil and gas installations in the arctic region. in the past a year or so, russia has also been reopening cold war bases in the all take the big concern now

the cease fire, which is encouraging, you probably shouldn't take it really seriously unless the saudis do live, lockheed and allow food and fuel to get in to yemen, which there's been on essentially no fuel has gotten in for all of this year so far the. ready who's made clear when the talks were announced that they were not interested in having he's talks held by one of the aggressor states that they would be willing to engage with the neutral party. and both kuwait and online in the past have successfully served as mediators to the conflict because the saudis insisted that the talks needed to happen in riyadh. the who these had made clear that this was not going to work for them. another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the many actors that are currently needing and re odd, aren't actually based in yemen. many of them are based in saudi arabia. and so it's unclear that, i mean, from my perspective,

i think the saudis are trying to recapture the narrative of themselves as the seeking piece and the who uses the aggressors. but when the who is brought forward their own unilateral cease fire, that sort of threw off the the narrative. they're both the saudis and the americans have been pushing for a while now. there's president joe biden assigned into lobe a bill making a federal crime to start punishable up to 30 years in prison. the journey to the new law took more than a century during that time being thousands of lynchings, mainly talking black americans. and just to warn you, this report by rosalind jordan contains distressing images. after 145 years lynching is now a federal hate crime in the united states law and civil rights leader gather her day and most of all the family member til. and i to be wells. thank you for never given up. never,
