was the biggest assault on a european state since world war 2 the, you an estimate at least 14000000 people have been displaced so far, at least 6000000 to neighboring countries. when missile had a ukrainian army base and younger of near the border with nato member, poland, it was the 1st russian attack in the west of the country. the siege of mario poll so violent in white the city off the map. leaving little doubt as to how far russia was willing to go to achieve its aims. unable to penetrate ukrainian defences around the capital, rushes withdraw from future, revealed civilian killings that ukraine described as war crimes. a dramatic victory for ukrainians. the sinking of russia's lead worship in the black sea. russia blamed and on board ammunition explosion. ukrainians claimed it was a missile strike. the invasion did change the map, but not perhaps his prudent had hoped finland and sweden applying to join nato stands to more than double the alliances border with russia. just

weeks ago, independent square was under locked down and covered and snow. now people line up to buy stamps commemorating a moment in the early days of the war. when ukraine, in no uncertain terms, told russia to leave its territory. i hope was that it is a good weekend that when in this war and we can survive. so for me it's a sign that we have a chance for a good future. and you have a message for russia and russian leaders have only been with them, or i can say innocent things look very different in the ukrainian capital today. diplomatic missions. the reopening people are returning and ukrainian seemed far more optimistic, all the cautiously than they did at the beginning of this war. that the war is not over. russian forces are escalating offensive in ukraine. se re,

mobilizing forces to battle fields in the south. all indications are conflict with russia is the new normal. and as long as russia controls the skies over their country, nowhere in ukraine is completely safe. there's is a future that remains uncertain. then basra v o g 0. keith hungry is prime minister, has declared a state of emergency sites in the war in ukraine, victoria or been says he needed to enact the power to allow his covenant to respond quickly and event of any challenges. the move gives or ban greater powers to approve measures foster bypassing usual procedures is used emergency powers twice before. one's due to co. 19 another time to deal with migration of the log was the office of the world is on the brink of any comic conscious hungry must stay at the school and it must protect families, financial security. this re cause room to maneuver and to take immediate action.

the government, exercising its right under the basic law, or declare a war emergency. from midnight we introduced a similar emergency situation to fight the pandemic. this allows the government direct immediately. i know situations protect hungry and on. gary and families were out there from us together to james bases more from the world economic form in doubles. this is something that we'd had heard talked about, but still comes i think is a bit of a surprise hungry already somewhat controversial nation in the european club. because there's, you know, there's been real unity among the e u on those sanctions. if you compare it to the start of the war, i don't think anyone had expected the, the level of sanctions the you would put in place. they had probably packages of sanctions. they've all agreed that now trying to negotiate the sick. and that's where the problem is. arisen, they've been all ban call about for hungry hungry is still objective and i think people are wondering is that because hungry is so concerned about this package of

sanctions, or is it that mr or ban was somewhat constrained by the elections in his country. and now he's going back to being the most favored leader of putin in the european union club. well, neighboring countries have real concerns about what's going on in ukraine. clearly economic affects across the region. and remember how many refugees have been taken in by those countries in the immediate neighborhood depends accuse china and russia provocation. after the military planes flew over the sea of japan. paging says the drills are part of an annual exercise. japan is our scrambled fighter jets when the war plains got near the base. the 13, our joint patrol came as japan was hosting the leaders of the so called code, which includes a straight in united states. and india from pride has more on the meeting from take care. a show of unity from the us and 3 allies who spheres of influence

span the in the pacific region under pressure on many fronts. from it increasingly assertive china high. he or she did, the 4 of us committed that unilateral change of status quo by force will never be allowed in any region, especially the in the pacific. and that the free and open in the pacific is ever more relevant today. in coming to asia pacific president joe biden has pursued a focus, begun by his predecessors, despite the unfolding crisis in europe. at the same time, we're navigating the dark our in our shared history. the russian brutal an unprovoked war against ukraine has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. this is very important for joe biden to demonstrate to the world that the commitment to the region is unwavering. this commitment has been going on for several years, going back to the obama administration. but there has been, there have been doubts over the last few months, given the ukraine invasion, but the failure of india to condemn russia and its continuing close relationship

with moscow shows some of the strains within this diverse group. right. china's growing economic muscle also makes it harder for neighbors to stand up to it. asian allies like japan supporting the quad is complicated by the fact that china is its biggest trading partner and it seems going too far in antagonizing bay. ging can have real consequences in terms of business as australia has found to its cost. australia has felt the impact of punitive trade restrictions for its open criticism of beijing and recent times. but australia's newly elected prime minister antony albany, is promised to continue robust support for this group, which is still relatively new. i think they're feeling their way or the court is i think, quite experimental. and to this point, i don't think that the 4 partners have really worked out and how they're going to collaborate after his shock remark that yes,

the us would intervene militarily against china if it attacked taiwan. biden had to answer repeatedly that no, this wasn't a change in the u. s. his long standing position on china or taiwan policies. murphy, he leaves tokyo, hoping this gathering will be remembered more for diplomatic harmony than the controversy stirred by seemingly and diplomatic language. robin bride al jazeera, tokyo thousands of photographs have been released for portly, taken in so called week i re education thompson, china. she jane police files and i relate to researches with the group victims of communism. the reveal more details about the master tension of the week is whether to shoot to kill policy. anyone trying to escape rights groups of accused beijing of crimes against humanity. china says foreign powers at trying to sabotage a visit by the you and human rights commissioner. katrina you is in beijing and has more on the lease documents. china's foreign ministry have dismissed them saying

that these are anti china forces trying to to near china and have called them lies . this is a message that beijing has sent said numerous times a foreign. it certainly does challenge beijing's narrative that these internment camps are voluntary vocational centers designed to improve the lives of the week a people. but what we have seen in these leaked files is a very disturbing look at life. inside a sion jung internment camps somewhere between 20172018, they include thousands of photographs of o wiggers kept inside this particular camp about 2800 mug shots, essentially in some sewing or the these people visibly distress. one woman's crying in her profile shop, they have men, women of all ages. the youngest is a 15 year old girl. the oldest is woman in her seventies. and there are also some photos of a week as with shaved heads, appearing to take part in some sort of re education activity supervised by gods in

uniform. also part of his lead documents were speeches given by leaders in shin, young, talking about the absolute threat of, of religious extremism than the need to stamp out the religious beliefs of the these weaker people. and most alarmingly, there was an order in an internal speech that gods shoot to kill anybody who attempted to escape this cam. so definitely very distressing and definitely challenges. any idea that these are voluntary centers or latino, from adrian zones whose from the victims of communism. memorial fund version, it was in the private they to buy on and on resource, who says the material is very revealing and linked right to the top of china's power structure. while we have different types of documents, we have speeches by sion, jones, former potty secretary chandler, who said that if anyone seeks to escape in the context he spoke of when they're

being arrested, shoot to kill, you're authorized to so and a local police fire to said at the police authorities in the camps. if trainees seek to escape, then the police can fire wanting shot can. they're not required to proudly. and if they did, any continues to escape, they are to shoot to kill. that's the chinese. what very significant findings are, how to fire asleep. she jumping himself to the atrocity even much more so than before. she jumping was closely informed not only about the mass in 10 minutes, which proceeded according to a 5 year plan agreed between beijing and the local region. but also he knew that the camps were overcrowded, and then he ordered officials to make resources available for more prison guards from police guards for expanding camps and building new camps. and obviously also

incredible are the images, especially of the police throws pakistan's government has banned the plan protest. march by author prime minister run con his monday. your elections as a political and economic crisis deepens. leider has moved from islam about i'm on jenna avenue, which connects to parliament. and it's la rate jones where the diplomatic enclave. no foreign ministry. parliament, a supreme court, and not the white an installation update. though and of course, have been handed over to the up august on the military aid of the civilian government. to have government have guarded upon the ami you're protected weitel installations whenever they find protested, hating port it's, i'm about even m ron carne. dave died during his denial, but what did, what in this time is the fact that there had been a major cracked down by the government. offered a prime minister, held

a constant dated meeting of his cabinet. it was decided dead. enron to mark will not be allowed into his lamb abad. 22000 security forces personnel have been deployed from the adjoining provinces as read. the pattern military forces have been called in, and we have been door dead up to 15000 drones. of deer guys had also been brought into their city where that rotate if that it apron through, and it's nama. but now, as you can see, that security forces that are already on red lug the bucket straight of the white house as president joe biden is right there. to address the nation of the 18 school children. 2 adults were killed in the school shooting tv from americans and home. when i became president, i would not have to do this again. another massacre.

valentine, texas. now i'm into school. beautiful industries. second, 3rd, 4th graders. and how many scores of little children? who witness what happened? see their friends die visitor in a battlefield, for god's sake lose the rest of their lives. as a law, we don't know yet. there's a lot. we do know the parents who never see their child again. never have them jump in bed and cuddle with parents who

will never be the same to lose a child is like having a piece of new sole ripped away. there's a hollowness in your chest. you feel like you're being sucked into it and never going to be able to get out suffocated. it's never quite the same. it's a fairly shared by the siblings and the grandparents and family members in the community that's up behind. scripture says, june, i've talked about this in different context. another context lord is near to the broken heart and save the crushed spirit. so many crushed spirits. so tonight,

i ask the nation to pray for them. give the parents and siblings with strength and darkness. they feel right now as a nation, we have to ask, when in gods name, we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in god's name, we do, we all know our needs to be done. is 343448 days, 10 years since i stood up in high school. kinetic a grade school in connecticut or another gun in math massacre. $26.00 people including 21st graders, sandy hook elementary school. since then, they're going over $900.00 incidence. gun fires reported on school grounds. margaret stoneman, douglas high school in parkland florida. santa fe high school,

texas. oxford high school in michigan. list goes on and on. when this grows went to include my shoes at places like movie theaters, houses of worship. as we saw just 10 days ago to grocery store in buffalo, new york, i am sick and tired. we have to act. and don't tell me, we can't have an impact on this current, which i spent my career as a senator, vice president working to pass common sense gun laws. we can, will prevent every tragedy. but we know they work and have positive impact when passion saw up in span. mash shooting, went down when the law expired mass shootings. triple the idea that a 2 year old kid can walk into a gun store and buy to assault weapons just wrong. what in gods

name do you need to solve for accepting? kill someone during running through the forest with catalog vest, san for god's sake. it's just sick. and the gun manufacturers are spent 2 decades aggressively marking assault weapons which make them the most and largest profit. for god's sake, we have the courage to stand up to the industry. here's what else. i know most americans support common sense laws, common sense gun laws. i just got off my trip from asia media was asian leaders. i learned this while i was on the aircraft was struck me and that 17 hour flight. what struck me was these kinds of measure it rarely happen anywhere else in the world.

why they have mental health problems. they have domestic experience in other countries. they have people who are lost, but these kinds of nation, he's never happened. the kind of frequency they happen in america. why? why are we willing to live with this carnage? why don't we keep letting this happen? we're in gods. name is our backbone. to the courage to do with stand up the lobbies to time to turn this pain is an action for every parents, for every ship to this country, we have to make it clear to every like a fish in this country. it's time to act time for those who have struck to delay or block the common sense gun laws. we need to let

you know that we will not forget. we can do so much more. we have to do more our prayer tonight. so those parents line embed, trying to figure out why be able to sleep again. what do i say to my other children? what happens is more and god bless the loss of innocent life on the sad day. in may lord, be near the broken hearted and save those crushed spirit. is there going to need a lot of help? a lot of our prayers. god love you. he has president joe biden. we can do so much more. he said we have to do more. and

the children, seeing his maker, children, seen their friends die as if it was a battlefield. he said parents who will never see their child again. when in god's name said the president, will we stand up to the gun lobby and let's get more in a sweat. she had returns in washington dc a she had the truth is a, it's a very sad occasion and very sad words from the you as president. but we have heard it before, what more can be done and it's very difficult not to keep going back to the fact of what is happening right now in texas. it's primary night of the democratic primaries are underway, and there is a candidate, one of the few democrats in the house of representatives who has an, a rating from the national rifle association, the gun lobbies, the biden berries speaking about when are we going to stand up to the an array, but in fact,

the entire democratic party leadership of my house is supporting him against a progressive count, but who does one's gun control? which suggests the reality of what is happening here, which is pretty much all stir. biden failed when, when obama made biden the point person for gun control in at 2013 and failed to get gun control legislation through congress. pretty much everyone. i mean that what you often hear in washington is when you hear about another appalling, appalling attack as well. ok, we didn't do it at sandy hook after sandy hook when 20 children died. but why would we, you know, how we gonna do it now? and that was always, that basically finished off in some ways. we have a very kind of real push fur, fur fur fo significant federal gun control legislation. and that would perhaps suggest why on the night when democratic party leaders are talking about the need to stand up to the n r a specifically in the house of representatives. for example

. they're also supporting one of a few democrats who has an a rating from the anna ray, because frankly, their priorities are elsewhere that barrel. then in a low taxation and helping and hoping their corporate donors perhaps, i mean that's on some might say financial. the progressive challenge and texas are saying, so, i mean the point is it isn't quite as easy as that, and i think there is that huge skepticism about setting on a federal level. i mean, remember bite and can't even get through his own legislation. his legislative priorities that he campaigned on in the car on the campaign trail a couple of years ago. lead learned it would appear gun control, at least that would be the mood right now. but perhaps were wrong on the other side of the fence. if the gun lobby would say that some, you know, if you om teachers and staff at that would enable these kind of incidence. not that i think what so interesting is we're beginning to get information from the wires and stuff. and i think we're probably going to need rob reynolds in, you know, to, to, to kind of confirm some of this stuff cuz i'm just getting a lot of this from twitter. but there are suggestions that the gunman was chased by

law enforcement with guns blazing and got in anyway, which is obviously very interesting. i mean, again, i wouldn't as an example, i'm saying multiple multiple sources who i would trust. certainly who was suggesting that is that was the case and it's a walk to then the, the answer is simply, well, we just going to turn our schools into fortresses. and the good person with a gun can stop a bad person with the gun and include that is actually, that was the case right now, especially in black neighborhoods around the country where you just have an enormous law enforcement presence and band. actually you just tend to just increase the school prison pipeline, especially for a vote for minorities in this country. so that's, that's the answer. i mean, yeah, we should also remember that or it's true. we have about 10 math shootings a week in the us and as defined as 4 or more people injured by, by, by someone with a gun am. but i only count accounts for about one percent of gun deaths in the u. s . and we had what was it 45000 or so. busy in 2020 am get gun control,

the issued gun control as the major source of premature death in the united states . as are many multifaceted issue, the issues of socio economic development will also me to come into the issues of race come into it, and the issues offer over criminalization also come into. i mean, it's a very complex issue. are you little girl by just truth simply treating as a public health issue, which people often said in the old days cars used to kill so many people were major source of premature death in the u. s. but then there were pushes for, say, safety belts and, and you know, better, you know, better that a placing on the carson and so on. but that took a concerted effort against the lobbies were very powerful. but the polish is all scatter vienna, right? even though it's diminished states currently, and i mean, i think one could perhaps get that sense from simply tonight, but democratic party leadership lining up behind and are a candidate in texas against a candidate who supports mortgage control. she,

if she ever tansy reporting, that's enough. reynolds, who's in los angeles and has more on the call for action on going control. perhaps the 2nd day conversation about this incident after the, the sheer horror has, has sunk in people will be asking, well, what can we do about it? is there anything we can do and based on past experience and observation, it's not likely to change much in terms of any sweeping new legislation. there are more guns now. then there are people in this country held in civilian hands about talking about the military or, or the police. so guns are widely available in a state like texas. it's very easy to buy a gun. you could carry a gun around, strapped to your hip. if you want to and you know, as, as we've been saying, after a terrifying and a horrible incident like this, there's

a call for thoughts and prayers. and then there's some wailing and gnashing of teeth about why can't we do better. and then maybe somebody will propose some legislation and it will quietly die in congress. after a few weeks, robert knows that john rosenthal is the founder of stop time, gun violence. he says putting tough restrictions on gun ownership is about consume, safety and would learn the number of deadly my shootings. you know, to sell a toy gun in america, you have to have a little red dot at the end of the barrel. so people police know it's a toy, they're teddy bears have to have, you know, non inflammable material or they can't be sold real firearms that have resulted in 1500000 death in the united states. since 975, that is more americans killed by guns in america. then all us service men and women killed in. busy all foreign wars combine. there is no safety features,

there is no licensing requirement. there is no magazine size limitation. for instance, i've hunted in america, you need a hunting license. the republicans in the interview. i have no problem with hunting licenses. when you hunt deer, you're limited to 5 rounds. when you hunt dock, you're limited to 3 rounds. to protect the duck in deer population. when you go to an elementary school in texas and asked her 14 elementary school children, there is no limit on the number of rounds. and in texas you don't even need a license or a background check to go kill those children with that weapon. so, president biden knows this, we have 2 democrats in the senate who are in the pocket of the industry and won't even approve the house of representatives requirement that there be a background check. on august. yes, you need a background check to be

a school driver bus driver. you don't need a background check by a 1000 assault weapons and concealed handguns a day in 32 states. that's why we're the gun violence capital of the world. well, let's just recap on this house news. 18 young children and a teacher have been killed in a school shooting to or to idle to be killed in school shooting. it's a late, deadliest attack at an american elementary school was decade. greg albert, so the governor named the suspects his 18 year old salvador ramos. he was shot dead by police. nearly $600.00 children are enrolled at the institution. we've heard from the u. s. president joe biden, who says it's time to turn this pain into action after this latest shooting. you're starting headlines. got more news coming up. right. ah, the say just set for one of the most significant elections in columbia recent
