a referendum. it comes as ukrainian intelligence service warns that russia is trying to split the country into after more than a month of fighting key remains in ukrainian hands, though, increasingly scarred by war. but even those whose homes have been destroyed, believe that victory is possible with enough help luthers. this is of the war. everything depends on how our western friends help us with the we will win if we get lots of help and we will win soon as it struggles to make advances on the ground. russia has ramped up its bombardments, much of hard heave, just 50 kilometers from the russian border, already lies in ruins. it was ukraine's 2nd largest city. now half of its residents have fled. thousands of those who remain have taken refuge in underground train stations, hiding from rushes heavy shelling in the besieged city of mary. you,

paul, the situation is even more dire. food and water are scarce and local, say they've had to bury their dead in makeshift graves. ukraine's president is carefully considering how to best and the suffering ballade. amir zalinski said his team was studying russia's demand for ukrainian neutrality. and that the issue would have to be put to a referendum. gotta keep his up wasn't security guarantees and neutrality, non nuclear status of our country. we are ready to go for it. that's the most important point. it was the main point for the russian federation. that's why they started this war. this one is available in the july on sunday, ukrainian authority said an agreement had been reached with russia on a humanitarian court or out of mary you, paul, giving residence the chance to try and reach safety. those who do make it out may well join the ever growing number of refugees like these crossing into romania via ferry and for the latest on ukraine were joined by the debbie correspondent funny

for char in the western that city of levine finney. president zalinski is now talking about a potential neutral status for ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. would any guarantees from moscow be credible though? that's a really good question. a given the situation here on the ground and all what ukraine has been through since february 24th. all the bombardments across the east and the southern, but also northern parts of ukraine. and also he and live it just a couple of days ago. so difficult to answer, but also if you just look back on history, there's the minced agreement in 2014, which was supposed to bring an end to the war, ended on bus region that did not happen. that mince agreement was signed by russia . it was signed by a crane, but this is very out politic is on the ground right now. instead of bringing peace to don boss of this escalated even further with his full scale invasion of every

24th president, the landscape from his perspective says, is only going to be peace if russia forces to be there. all the questions just fall far. that wasn't really clarified because he actually said they should redraw to word they way. now this could be only the dom bus region, but you also make clear, there's no going to be peace without a ceasefire. so a lot of things that are quite catchy and even if was journalist, it's so difficult to translate what the actual a deal breaker would be here. just imagine how hard it will be for these 2, our negotiation teams, the delegation of russia and ukraine to actually come to terms to something that they then can put forward to their audiences, which is ukraine here, and russia in the neighboring country. and you were mentioning the don bass region and those minsk agreements and the negotiation said broke down. they were seen as a way towards peace. could that be a way out of the war is sacrificing and don been seen as potentially the way

forward person zalinski in that 90 minute interview that he had with russia. journalist, he made it clear that he's not going to basically force a force be to re take all russian occupied territories. now the largest chunk of that is the don bus region. having said that, it clearly implies that he may would want to have a compromise over that region, which is a very difficult question. he sat actually that interview how that compromise is going to be reached. but he's putting it all day or as a way to find a way around all of this and to bring an end to the war. because what you on the line in that interview as well, he wants to decrease that the is more a bloodshed that there are more casualties and that this war is prolonged by such i buy it by more months, more weeks to con. so yes, it is definitely a central point. you don't bus region, but the question really is, but

a people will accept that president lensky in ukrainian, in a different interview. design for the ukranian audience said yesterday, they definitely want several referendum about anything that may bring a change to the territory here. and he also said that he wants to prioritize the territorial integrity of ukraine. so a lot of conflicting messages that you asked me. we have to see what the p thoughts were bring that are supposed to start today in turkey. ok, the ws furniture in the v, thanks so much. and after a month of war, now many have been surprised at the strength of ukraine's defense. but the human cost of the conflict remains high and the number of both military and civilian casualties growing by the day. and amid the destruction, people are having to bury their friends and family. in the most difficult circumstances, dw corresponded in a safe sentence. this story on a slain soldier from a small village close to the polish border house,

fallen silent. he was just 20 years old, hit by russian artillery on day 3 of the war. it took weeks for his family to learn of his death and bring him home. people from all round came to demetrius funeral, to honor him with a loaf scratchin, quizzical. he was a true cossack and other than the felon, and he smiled a lot at the that he was funny. artistic of her within that within the he always wanted to help everyone he loved is all so much see her. and i think killed where he wanted to keep this family together. think that it is yet you will remember him as an amazing person, an amazing brother, as here shortly, and indignant lyn latham the vast. you too are a military family. demetrius sister said their father is considered by many

a hero of the don bass conflict. it seemed natural that her brother would choose the same path. demetrius schoolhouse, that his teacher received the news of his death. aha, with a mixture of pain and pride, will much lower each other for the last time on the 12th of february, and he said, ok, good bye. we'll never see each other again. and i said to him, you can't say that. i ask of his death as scared any of the young men in the village who may 1 day have to face the front lines. absolutely, you will. absolutely not. i will give them more courage. he drank, or maybe even make them very angry. and i want to take on such a responsibility. nobody is afraid, it's no longer 2014. there's a completely different feeling in western ukraine, we always say military services, a responsibility, a duty is a duty officers of them. but i bought, i bought a lesson instilled at a young age. here. there's is not to reason why the cemetery where the

metro was buried. his grave is visible from a distance. and it seems as if it's the very center of the town, a tragedy, but piled high with flowers. and more than half of ukraine's children have been displaced by the war with huge implications for their ed development and education. some ukrainian teachers are trying to keep up the school routine using the internet to teach children scattered across europe. we met a young school girl who fled to germany, but it's still attending classes run from back home in ukraine. it's 8 o'clock in the western german city of bon yes. the 1st lesson of the day is starting for national harbor. you. it's an online lesson. normally she would be in here at her school right now. but at the beginning of march, she had to flee ukraine together with her family because of the war, said

a little over the element as it is quite important to stay in touch with teachers and classmates. we all need that in the situation. that way we get to see how all of us are doing here. that way, every one knows that i'm doing well said over after number issue was knowledge show shifted over here to day. oh, lena trots is giving the lesson before the war began. they could all be at school together. now, most of her classmates are scattered all over europe. that's why elaina teaches them digitally. she's still in keith. it ever should say that was placed nellie out of me. it's dangerous to stay at home here. see her not to hold on to her. he can maria, but teaching the children distracts me from the reality we live in italy, even when your home is that is not for them. i would like to close my eyes and wake up in another life. but unfortunately, that is not possible with the co here from with us. nast jeff,

along with her sister and mother, has been placed with a host family in germany. this gives them security for the time being, nevertheless, like thousands of ukrainian children, the kids are now missing important lessons at school. that's why they'll soon be enrolled in germany until then online lessons help them yet to renew his name. but i do exercises with them. i paint with them, we carve and glue, we make all kinds of art work, my new, you know, orca, you may have videos. i this gives them strength. it gives them courage and also confidence one for the future. will you guys you said that the yes, so in that no, no, no, no, my book you in sales for doing the shopping to day. the close of syncs for next year is in germany. her classmates in poland, the check republicans, lavinia, but her teacher managers to reach them all and now to some of the other stores were

falling for you. the sour germany is considering installing an anti missile shield system that could offer protection for neighboring e. you states, chancellor will are short, says berlin is considering buying a missile defense system from israel known as iran don't. last month, schultz announced a major increase in germany's defense spending. millions of people in shanghai, china have been confined to their homes in order to control of a growing outbreak of covert 19. the financial hub has become a corona virus hot spot. in recent weeks, the city wide locked down will be conducted in 2 phases. it's china's most extensive locked down in 2 years. the so called islamic state says it was behind an attack. they killed 2 people and had era israel to gunman open fire in the northern city before being shot dead by police. it comes as israel host, an unprecedented meeting with arab foreign ministers and the american secretary of state and that secretary of state anthony blank in his meeting with his

counterparts from israel and for arab countries to discuss reviving a 2015 deal to limit iran's nuclear program. lincoln wants to reassure israel and it's gulf allies that washington is committed to their security ahead of the accords possible renewal. israel and its allies oppose the deal and a fear it will not stop ran from acquiring nuclear weapons. shots still from quin yang and from moron. that i am joined by did be corresponded, tanya came a in a stable cat in the negative desert at the summit at tenant the so called islamic states as it was behind an attack in israel does. did that overshadow the summit? is it overshadowing it? well, it certainly has over set it at the beginning of this summit on this sunday evening . the foreign minister here where informed about this attack, the house, oh, condemned it. it's actually a boring trend in israel. it's

a 2nd time that this happened and attack and claimed by the so called islamic state in israel, and the israeli prime minister also said this is a new situation that israel has to deal with here and tell us how significant this meeting is between israel and top diplomats from for arab countries and the, and it states in israel as you already has and said, it's unprecedented that we have those foreign ministers coming together here in this house of israeli unstable car, just here behind me. and this hotel, it's the foreign ministers of the u. s. the u. e. morocco, bahrain, egypt. and of course, israel is the host that is in fact the implementation of the so called abraham of courts or denomination agreements. and that process started in 2020 the were signed under the previous year as administration with the help of the previous years administration under donald trump. and also it's significant. i have to say that

egypt is he of course, that's the longest piece part. now of israel, now relations had cooled down over the past years and we're seeing that there warming up again. of course is also criticism. not all the countries in the region are a following or supporting this no monetization of process. and some say this is actually at the expense of the palestinians, but it is, it symbolizes a new alliances in the region and the changing political landscape. and could you tell us tenure what the americans were really the key player to the around nuclear deal, having left it in and coming back to it, what are they hoping to achieve here? well, i think it's also a bit to re engage in the region. the u. s. has appeared to know to be not so active. he and i think the countries that are gathered here today, they want some reassurances of us and they have a lot to talk about now. we don't know the details that we hope to get some

statements after the meeting. so we're bilateral meetings in the morning and then you know, all the ministers are coming together and then there will be some statements. so they have a lot to talk about from trade to, to the economy. but also you just mentioned that iran is one of the key issues expected to be one of the key issues. and of course, this a nuclear agreement, we are not sure that the negotiations on going in, you know, of course, whether there will be a conclusion of this deal or not in the countries you do expect some re, insurances, because a lot of concerns about such a dear, and they also hearing from israel officials here that they are hoping to somehow put some security coordination together against threats in the region, mainly you a, these or a piracy in the red sea. now we're hoping to hear, of course, more about that. one said the meeting here has concluded, all right. did abuse tenure. okay. thanks so much for that. women's

rights activists in afghanistan have called for nationwide protests. if the taliban failed to reopen girls secondary schools, within a week, thousands of girls returned to classes on wednesday after the taliban re open schools for the 1st time since seizing power last august. but just hours later, the hard line islamist closed the schools again. that was followed by some less highly publicized curbs on women's activities. scenes like these women participating in public life are set to become increasingly rare. as bit by bit the taliban appears to be returning to the heart rule of the 1990s. the new restrictions include gender separation and amusement parks and ban on women flying without a male guardian. those haven't hit the headlines like the taliban surprised decision not to open secondary schools for girls earlier this week. but these women are not prepared to just accept this creeping oppression groups like the afghan

women's organization for peace and freedom called on the taliban to reverse their decision, which they say was both illegal and illogical. i had one point we got on the official thought this, let me get more of a garrison to fear almighty allah, an entirely re open the door, the go. the schools by the next the schools should not be closed anymore because people can no longer tolerate such operation. we cannot accept unexcused from the authorities in the us regarding the move has enraged the international community, which has been reluctant to recognize the taliban, ron government since it swept into power last august. they were waiting outside their schools, but the gates were closed and they were trying, you're trying to media, they were trying to de bedding. now, why is it happening to them? just because their gut is, why can't they be studying? why can't they be learning? why can't be receiving their education? nobel peace prize winner malala use of say,

went on to call for the taliban to be refused diplomatic recognition until girls education is restored. so that the aspirations of young female engineers like these afghan students are not doomed to remain nothing but dreams. and earlier we spoke to past and on to ronnie, a woman's activist and director of the non profit group learn afghanistan. we asked her what it will mean for afghan society if 50 percent of the population can't receive an education is growing population still, you won't have good in school. that means no doctors and hospitals. that means no gynecologist in the hospital. that means more women would be losing themselves to bottom hemorrhage to black us, which means no more teachers and schools, which means our growing population back no demand to be met. that's the 1st thing. the 2nd thing is shrinking off public speeches for women that need women who could actually access these public spaces. when that happens again, rather with their family members in these types of pieces are now unable to do that

. last but not least, there are women who don't have any b, p, r, or anyone who would take them out of the country. they are the only ones who are printers and they cannot leave the country are back to their home, including me just because of the color. one thing that women cannot plant on the 2022 oscars have just wrapped up in los angeles with the best picture, a war going to coda. a feel good family drama, from the streaming service apple tv plus. but the ceremony was overshadowed by this unscripted moment of violence between 2 stars. i and chris rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about smith's wife jot. i think it's meant the doctor then went on to win his 1st oscar for best actor for his performance as richard williams in king. richard i let's go to los angeles now and talk to journalists kj matthews k j.

thanks for joining us. this has to be an oscar 1st. tell us what happened between chris rock and well smith you. well 1st of all, you're absolutely right. it is an oscar 1st. it's a 1st for everyone. i've been covering hollywood for nearly 2 decades, and i've never seen anything like this. and i seen a lot in hollywood, but nothing like this. you know, it was a joke. chris rock is a comedian, so people expect to see him. joking when he gets on stage to present the war, and tonight was no different really. except he made a joke at j to peak at smith's expense. now, many people may not be aware, but jane, a peek at smith, suffers from a hair loss condition con alopecia. she's talked about it publicly, i think back in 2018 is when she came out and revealed it. and so to night, when chris rock said something about her being in the film a janie was obviously making comment about her bought head and it didn't go over well with will smith. so he took to the stage, punched chris rock and then took a seat. when chris rock said, wow, you know,

i just been punched by will smith. that's when will smith said, you know, keep my wife's name out of your bleeping mouth twice. extremely loud. so everybody in the theatre just went silent. they were shocked. i think a lot of people were just trying to figure out, is this part of it that the ratings are that the oscars are doing because of low ratings in the past? so they're trying to mix it up a little bit and they're all in on it. it's all fine. but then as time went on, there were a lot of people in the theories said will smith was extremely upset and that people were coming to him during various commercial way. people like them, they're washington and tyler perry in his age. and so that's when people started to realize, oh this is not plan, this is very real and it, we just kind of off the rails from there. okay, and can you just tell us, i mean, an incredible moment of drama? i think we can understand husband's. you know, willingness to, to defend his wife who's suffering from a medical condition. i guess we'll see what the internet says about it. but if we

can just move on to the movies here for a 2nd, let's talk about the other. where starting with the best picture going to coda, a film with mostly deaf rafters. yet what's all that about? you know what, they won 3 important awards. first things 1st with kodak, troy cops, or one for best supporting actor. he is the 1st death actor to win, and that just remarkable. so he won, made history to night of horse code. again, one for best adapted screenplay. and then lastly, as you said, they want for best picture, and that is significant. you know why? because i'm every single year, the streaming services tend to pick up more and more oscar nominations at 1st i think like 5 or 6 years ago, people didn't really take the stream or seriously and didn't know whether or not they were really of failing. when it came to film categories in the oscar tonight, apple tv with coda one, it's 1st oscar award in the best picture category. that means that no other streaming service has one for best picture until tonight. so another 1st kj
