step by step in in moscow soldiers preparing for mondays parade to mark victory against nazi germany during the 2nd world war. but in the war in ukraine, preston vladimir putin doesn't have much to celebrate. the war has isolated his nation and united its foes. newkirk year le casanya newkirk is something new. small no punishment or sanctions can break the will of our people of the russian leadership. i aimed at defending the historical truth because those are the legitimate interests of the russian federation sources and preventing direct threats to our securities, being created on our borders and threats to our culture. our history, good us, all this is currently at stake. no, she was up, was with russian troops now preparing to take a full control of mario pole. it's not clear when or how this war will come to an end. bianca booked her to hear more broadly. here's how the wars looking on the

map in red, all the areas held by russia and a separatist allies that on the offensive in the east and south crimea was annexed by russia in 2014. and these are the places where fighting has been the heaviest. in the past 24 hours, as we've been saying, grain says moscow wants to annex the southern region of her song that would create a land corridor between russia and crimea. had done me joined this live now from tv re in central ukraine and hold a you've actually been traveling a long day. the saw the front line. what have you, what have you seen? ah, well, what you see is, is actually quite a tense front line. today compared to yesterday, there was a lot more of activity shelling, outgoing an incoming now do situation is that you have the ukrainians and the russians hunker down in defensive position,

trying to target each other on a daily basis. even the surrounding villages on a daily basis. the russians are in the south and kind of soon a region. it's the, it's actually a region that is now totally under their control, and they have sun city. the capital was the 1st regional capital to fall to the russians at the onset of the war. now, people have been coming out of there, they have been described, be a very dire situation. the russians putting their footprint more and more on to her so on taking all sides of ukraine and replacing them by russian aside. they're also changing the currency from the training right now to the russian rubel and people are fleeing. but whereas they tried, they, there were several attempts at humanitarian corridors. those were not possible.

according to the people we met, simply because the russians wouldn't allow it. so we saw a lot of people who made it out on their own crossing front lines. and this is our report. this were to leave the russian occupation. they cycle then walked for hours under cover of darkness, with his on us with a going to killing me, says this women suspicious as the ukrainian police register new arrivals. this was their 4th attempt to feed her son region where life had become unbearable, says vladimir. yet his might wanna do it. no. the air is different here. he says, if there was a thumb below shore person would bring it in. a shyness, another discovery to stay there was more dangerous. we decided to take the risk when there were attempts for humanitarian corridors, and people went to the meeting point with white flags,

but the soldiers dispersed us instead of you on a corridor, then go to crimea for what the would love. that's when people started finding other ways to reach to ukrainian side, but the level of the public will will the forward, the bill of all get it sooner shows as the warehouse where bikes, wheelchairs, primes, and even wheelbarrows are held. people used, whatever they had. she says, so the russians about 3 kilometers away from here. those coming down region crossed the lines, unknown, land between the 2 armies and hope not to get in the crossfire. it's a treacherous passage, but his to only escape route to see about love the family. thank you guys, we're waiting for you. he says, the armies holding as defensive position, but ukraine claims the russians are preparing for a major push here. and this fear that the soldiers could be out gun. while most of the western weapons had to dumb best region in the east of the country,

and what kind of brought clara to family? we need heavy weapons artillery javelins, drones, because they have a lot of weapons. the russians don't care about saving their soldiers lives, and the bands like workspace who hundreds of them lie in the fields or nobody collects the bodies, but they have a lot of weapons. the villages along the contact line come under shelling the rumble of artillery sounds at regular intervals, but is the fear of an imminent annexation. just like what happened in crimea and in dumbass, 8 years ago that i pushing people to cross front lines on their own. what are the or civil administrator there we saw in your report telling you that they need more weapons. how then are the ukrainian soldiers positioned? well, we haven't seen everything they have for this reason. we went to the trenches there

. they did say that they had some military hardware, but the soldiers also say it was not enough. now the fear is really is that that's some point. the russians will move north all the way to here, p be about an hour drive of from that from klein. area which happens also to be the hometown of president lensky. and then they would move west to the point of nikolai, of all, to a day, to hook up with trans nicera, which is, is reyco way pro russian region on the border with dover. that the soldiers say we can hold our defense position, but we cannot go on the offensive. we cannot retake land that has fallen under russian occupation because they simply need more weapons and they need more, i would say low range of weapons as they say. so it is

a complicated situation and the soldiers do feed on that front line that really should the russian decide to do a push where they are just right in the middle on their way. and they say, and they say that what they've seen of the pattern of what i've been going on on the different foot lines in this country. the russians will just push forward as much as they get, having the, the advantage of having quite mia as a backup for where they can read it, blowing more and more soldiers and military equipment. so certainly they on the, on high alert their, the shelling is constant today. we witnessed it. it was more intense than yesterday . and the people we talked to said, well, it really depends on today. but there is a fair amount of shelling a daily basis. now, should the russians give the green light? should moscow get very light to the troops at a station in her son region to push forward the, the ukrainian army there,

says they need more help as soon as possible. all right, thank you for that updates hold on. so let me de la, for us in creevy louis, german government has announced it to send more weapons to ukraine. step also has more from berlin. this is a major shift after being accused of dragging its feet for reacting to flow. germany has now again today, announced that it will send, have you weapons. these are how it's her, it's artillery system that's a germany has the most powerful a tailoring system is basically one of the heaviest weapons that germany now is sending to you. craig, last week, the defense minister has amount its 1st shipment of weapons, which are g parked anti aircraft systems, basically cheap guys. they also called in english, it took a while for germany to make this decision. as i said, there was a lot of pressure,

not only from within nato, also from the united states, but also from we did the own government, especially the chancellor. all of shows was accused for not doing enough to help you crane. and you have to understand, of course, the history germany has been reluctant, basically not sending any military equipment to any other country, any war because of what happened during world war 2. it's basically something that they have maintained for so many years. but now, because of the war and ukraine and all the images that also have reached the german public here, that seems to be quite a turn around. we have to say also that there will be 20 ukranian soldiers coming to germany next week to get training to operate the howitzer hillary system. my head on the news on including running a wave of support. the song of an ounce. the leader of philippines is leading the race to the presidency and trying to stay cool in

a crisis. the heat wave exposes india is dependent on imported coal and talk of it waste little time reaching the same ease at the madrid office. and that will have a little fashion. ah, ah, police in israel, a searching for 2 men suspected of a stabbing attack in the central city of a lot of release pictures of the pair. 3 people were killed and several others were injured and thursdays attack, the funeral for one of the victims has been taking place. the attack happened as people celebrated watts. israel refers to as independence day. certainly deca has more for west rosalyn is really security forces issuing those pictures is telling the public to be on the lookout. the man hon continues and the ages given of the 2 suspects, 19 and 20 years old. their believe to be from the village of an amana in the

occupied west bank, close to the city of jeannine. the city of a lad is very close to the occupied west bank. we understand that both these men were working illegally in a lad and according to the police, now they're not sure whether the 2 men who seem to have gotten away in a vehicle according to reports, whether they're still in israel or managed to reenter the occupied west bank now the border of entry into israel from the west bank has been closed since tuesday afternoon because of commemorations in advance here with memorial day and independence day. it was supposed to be opened on friday, but that has now been extended. those closes have been extended until sunday because of this man hunt, but certainly these really security forces saying that they've closed road security has been up in allowed, using helicopters to try and find these 2 men accounting as underway in elections

for northern ireland regional assembly. where a policy that wants to leave the u. k. could come out on top. should vain was once the political wing of the aisle re that fought against british rule. john hall joins us now live from belfast. donna. so have any results come in so far? the counts been going on for a couple of hours now a few seats is not enough to read very much into so we still rely on the opinion polls going into this election that had a very healthy lead. shouldn't fail. the nation is over the democratic unionist party. they are expected to win she and fight and it would be an extraordinary victory. the 1st time in a 101 years since the partition of ireland in 1921 that a party other than the unionist party has come out on top and with potentially profound implications for northern ireland. both, both as i spoke to on thursday, the national side called the potential of

a pain victory. seismic historic. they said on the union side, one man said it would be a major wakeup call. medical a wind for the nationalist shin, fain as opinion polls predict, would make history in northern ireland. it up ends a century of dominance by parties dedicated to the union with great britain putting on top a republican party that exists to forge a united ireland. that isn't going to happen imminently. and many voters with suede, instead by more immediate concerns. oh, united allen on the cards knew that it didn't like on up to important to me. what you think the chief thing capable of us for to get the rates will get better, better hospitals. so just to open game, she and frame was once the political face of the irish republican army that waves the decades long conflict with the british army and pro british loyalist

paramilitaries. its electoral success with have struck fear into the heart of many unionists who already feel marginalized by westminster, the handling of bricks it negotiations with the you and a new trade border in the i received the face say undermines northern islands place within the united kingdom that need to get a wakeup call. my. nobody wants to shouldn't be a minister in the union, a people don't want to be a minister coach for 1st. first and foremost, if we have a dan, you're going to call for a border pull. there's no guide. if there's even a question mark over whether the democratic unionist party leader will take up his position as deputy 1st minister behind shin feigns michel o'neill. jeffrey donaldson says he wants to see border protocol removed 1st. in northern island, symbolism matters hugely. so while power sharing and shrine to the good friday

peace agreement ensures that the positions of 1st minister and deputy 1st minister shared between the largest unionist and nationalist parties have exactly equal powers. the changing of places in the storm assembly in this election carries enormous symbolic way. unionism is in a very, i'm place. northern ireland had its and teen re last year, the celebrations of rather muted. and there was a sense of the future of the union, very much being at stake. and partly because for exit and what that means. the northern ireland change relationship between overland in the u. k. with dall agreements in the protocol. and that also what's going on with in unionism itself, it's very fragmented. and with that fragmentation comes the uncertainty over political stability in the short term and longer term questions about the future of northern ireland itself. no one is suggesting that a shouldn't fight chain victory would automatically trigger a board. a poll

a referendum on the reunification of ireland. that would need to be called by the british government under the terms of the good friday agreement. even when they see evidence that a majority appears to be in favor, that is not the case now, but it is clear that a conversation has begun shifting voting patterns. among many voters who have different ideas about the future of northern ireland parties in the centre ground expected to do extra new wealth in the selection, the green party, the lions party homes for a new generation of voters looking for more consensual politics able to deal with bread and butter issues away from this or the deadlock of the sectarian positions of the none of it makes a united ireland inevitable. but it does potentially pull it into the realm of the possible journal hall. therefore as the bell fall. thank you. buying feeney is a political commentator and a historian. he joins us now from belfast also. thank you very much for joining us

. how the news, our a win 4. she's saying as has been predicted, what would that mean? what's your take on, on what might happen next? well, it looks as if the predictions are going to turn out to be correct because since fan is popping the pole and a large number of constituencies increase their vote and other constituencies. what it means in the short term is that the unionist party, the leading those party that you pay will not agree to form an executive which shouldn't fail. they don't want to be given the title of deputy 1st minister. because as far as they're concerned, northern ireland was given to unionists and was a place where your majority would be gone. take this is a church change, really. it's a seismic change. the 1st time in the century since northern ireland was created,

that a nationalist has likely to be the 1st minister. so it's a huge symbolic change of it's a psychological change for unionists. union just also don't want to sharp power because they are concerned about what's called the irish protocol. the arrangement that britain made with the e. u after breakfast after they left. so as a border and the receipt on the union as well, that removed ok. f, as you say, the unionists aren't happy with the result. might they boy called the assembly and what impact do you think that would have? well, they are likely to avoid college. they will not form a government. the question is whether they will actually attend storm and but when they go on monday, they the question is will it form the executive? the answer is no, they won't. and then the question arises whether or not they will refuse to go into

negotiations. ultimately, that will mean a number of things. well, really because the question, what is the point of the north of ireland? if it was created for union is majority and there is no use majority cause northern are far and it's going to mean that the british and irish governments will have to sit down and go see it. what they're going to do with this will they bring in direct roof, westminster. will they agree to cooperate, to run the case together? that is all up in the air after this election because this election has changed everything. those are some very big some very big questions. how do you think breck that has shaped opinions in northern ireland or breakfast had an enormous effect on the opinion in northern and 1st of all, there was a majority in the north of ireland against breakfast. and that included the number of units as well as national was very much,

was that the being dragged out of the ears against their will against their fault. the british government did it anyway. and it is tended to polarize opinion very much so that increasingly unionists who don't like they are as protocol and the irish, the border was britain, they're completely divided nog from nationalists. want the protocol to romantics and they believe the protocol is a way to allow them to trade and to britain on into the you at the same time. so the protocol is a hugely controversial issue on there is a grid polarize ation as a result of fractions. if we're going off the pre election polls again, it seems that the middle ground parties seem to have done. well, what's your take on that? the middle ground alliance party has done extremely well. what has happened is people on the fringes like the green party,

other independence and smaller parties have tended to both for alliance as a way to stop the d u t. unionist party. there was all the alliance party is probably going to double the number of seats on the stream, the well on the parties which were more moderate unionists. nationalists, likely s c l p and the illustrator. dentists have really been pushed to the side, a lot of their supporters, i've switched to the lions party which looks as if it's going to get something like 18 percent of the vote. not. so i'm pretty sure that it really and they'll get an unprecedented number of seats and it's quite likely that will only be 3 parties in the executive. that there was that the also the union, his party and the 3 the moderate match. those unionists will get enough seats the form to have a place of the executive. again on presented. i will have to leave it there for time. thank you very much for your time, bryan fini. they're a political,

to joining us from beth off in local elections in britain bars. johnson's conservatives have suffered losses, but the opposition labor party has failed to make major gains. the conservative party lost control of several areas of london, while labor and the liberal democrats, one power in some council. it's the 1st national test at the ballot box for johnson since in december 2019 general election landslide. when follows the so called party gates, scandal of a breaches of covered restrictions for which johnson was fined last month by police will anderson has more now from westminster. there's a mixed message, a given to his party, that though a voters, rudy wanting for the party to actually concentrate more on big issues. no reference to party gate, which has put him under immense pressure on his performance on this issue in defying cove it precautions in downing street with a number of parties. ah,

no mention of that whatsoever. it hasn't gone away. certainly didn't go away. all many doorsteps were campaigners for, for the labor party. i heard all about it and also the concerted. so basically we're hearing that he is not saying it's a disaster. the conservative party chairman has said it's been difficult, not disastrous. a, to some extent, that's true. labor here have devastated the conservative party. westminster city has been taken by labor for the 1st time since its formation. this city council formation back in 1964 situation. also in ones with that. barbara. 44 years. a conservatives, a council. now it's held by labor and labor has ready painted the capital red elsewhere in the country. modest gains, but nevertheless,

gains on kissed arm of the labor leader has said that they've turned the corner. but the party, the main opposition party, is really focusing on a comparison with 2019, when the conservative devastated labor in the us biggest defeat. since the 2nd will pass the 2nd world war. from all we can think patrick diamond here is a professor and public policy and queen mary university of london. he joins us from there. thank you very much for your time. so despite the conservative living losing some ground, do you think that they'll actually be relieved that it wasn't, was talk me through that? yes, i think that's right. the conservatism, obviously last in council seats made last an important local councils around the country, including notably in london and in the south of england. but overall, i would suspect that in boris johnson's personal homes arrive, there is some relief that the conservatives have not suffered worse. that appears to be the case,

given the circumstances going into these elections with party gates, the ongoing cost of living crisis, real concerned about the prime minister of leadership. you would have thought the conservative may well have done significantly worse. so i think the conservative mindset will be some relief. the softening was your take on labor's performance. i mean it's fail to make any sort of really major gains. it's a mix performance. so it has gains and important counsels in london. but i think the concern from labours perspective would be that it seems to be finding out support in part of the country, like the capital, where it's already strong. and the question labor is, is it really making up ground in the parts of england in the north, in the midlands, where forest johnson secure is one point victory in 2019, i think the evidence you need selections is very mixed. some places like this doing better, but in others it's not making the progress the pumps. it needs to to be really sure of contesting and winning a general election in 2 years time. talking about

a general election, some of predicted from these numbers that if a general election were to be held today, bars, johnson would not survive once you will take well there are predictions that suggest that on the basis of these results, the conservatives would please around 90 seats, i think the difficulty, of course, with some predictions is that these are leg collections that fault to some degree on local issues. you can't read off from these results. what would necessarily happen nationally? i think certainly the results show you that conservative support of 2019 perhaps not surprising, but overall it doesn't suggest that the consensus would be heading from meltdown. the next general election was also said of, of how the liberal democrats have have performed. you think the chris has done well in some parts of england in particular, in the south. they seem to have improved that vision in places that are likely to

be more pro, remaining in the european union, small liberal, supporting areas where we will democrats have really been able to bounce that position. they are emerging as a serious falls to challenge the conservative in the south, where course labor is weaker. so i think the liberal democrats will generally be pleased with these results. important tools, they say that the greens of mates major offers the greens are not the force in british politics. they are in other parts of europe like germany, but they are emerging as a strong policy. they won some seats and surprising parts of the country, like ne, i thank you very much for your time for your analysis, patrick diamond, their professor and public policy at queen mary university of london. you case, main opposition leader is being investigated for a potential breach of covert 19 locked down rules. police have confirmed they're looking into footage of the labor parties. kiss stomach drinking alcohol with colleagues in doors. in april of last year. alma has led calls from prime minister
