incident. the latest in a spate of deadly attacks that have shaken israel, the government is calling for action and a charity concert in birmingham, england raises millions for you praying. a star studded lineup performs in front of thousands. but ultimately it was the worth and the music of ukrainian refugees that took center stage ah hello, i'm clare richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. as the outlines of a potential deal to and the brutal war on ukraine start to take shape. russia has announced it will scale down military operations around the capital. and the northern city of cheney have a western governments are skeptical warning. it could be a play to give russia's military more time to prepare for the next big attack. this as russian and ukrainian delegations meet face to face in istanbul. another round

of peace talks, but this time with 1st signs of progress. as ukraine opens up to discuss, adopting a neutral status, russia promised to scale down operations. but it is the russian defense ministry has made the important decision to decrease military activity, several fold it in the direction of keith and churn, to his to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations. negotiations that will be needed to increase trust, but in action and not in words, ukraine's presidents stressed doc more than those of other yes, we can say that the signal we hear from the talks are positive. i'll it. but the signals can't silence the explosions from russian shells. seasonal, of course, we see all of the risks. and of course life we don't, she ground to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues trying to destroy us over your body that are the nozzle. lisa rushes

announcement was also met with skepticism in washington. but i think we should be clear eyed about the reality of what's happening on the ground and no one should be fooled by russia's announcements. we believe any movement of forces for around cave is a re deployment and not a withdrawal. i in the world should be prepared for a major offensive against other areas of ukraine offensives that in the future should be stopped by other countries acting as security guard tours. an idea that key, if proposed in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership as peace talks, gain momentum. there is no also another possibility on the horizon. a high level meeting between both presidents. so what are people in ukraine make of rushes announcement that it will cut back its military activity and parts of the country including keith. earlier we got an update from dw corresponded nick connelly

reporting for us from the capital of people hearing kids are definitely taking those announces with a significant pinch of salt. just this evening, we've been hearing the usual bangs in the distance. some of that will be ukrainian antiaircraft systems knocking things out of the sky, but there is also artery fire. nightly daily, in the suburbs of care of rosa had reports of russian forces somewhere out of key of trying to dig in, building or trenches and other fortifications, seemingly prepared to be here in the long run. but yes, as you mentioned previously, they're not doing very well. they're not taking care of and her for now. i think people feel like the city has stood up her to to the russian force on its doorstep . let's have a listen to what people hear and keep on the street, had to say about those announcements from miss tumble today. no, do multiple origin. that sounds good, but you actually, i don't believe it upon the woodland villa thornton. the question is whether they are going to do this because they're us, these are not the 1st talks of and every time we hear the same thing that they want

to scale down the fighting. but in fact, they step it up. a little foolish was the other must have seen the mars. i don't think we can trust russia of see you her her. so of our model, their words are worth nothing or the most shar we believed that they would not wage a full scale invasion would therefore no more stubbornness daughter than you. now i don't trust their words or yon live either. yes. so um, i think the russians are putting a brave face on their defeats and a lack of success around kevin. yes. we've had news in recent days of it, a pin. one of the big suburbs of key about 25 kilometers. as the crow flies more, i am here that saw some pretty atrocious civilian losses. am not people who have seen those pictures of the destroyed bridge and people trying to cross with their children, their pets. lots of civilians die trying to get out of that town. that now seems to be fully back in control of the ukrainian army. and some of the nearby towns were. so some of the worst fighting the early days of this war and seemingly according to

ukraine's was at least now surrounded by ukrainian forces in the east country, closer with the land border with russia. there some towns retaken by ukraine just as i'm speaking to now i can hear some pretty loud bangs in the distance spurts for y'all to re fire. so this is all still very real, but a sense that the ukranian tactics have paid off not engaging with direct kind of a battle with the russians in the countryside, in the open areas. not giving the russians the kind of battle that they could do well in instead of guerrilla tactics, and really working hard to deprive those russian forces of the logistics and the fuel, the food they need to keep on fighting. and connelly reporting for us there was several german states have announced they are making the use of symbols that express support for russia's invasion of ukraine punishable by law. the letter z is now widely associated with buttons war efforts, and is a common site on russian military vehicles and pro russian social media accounts. german intelligence agencies say that letter z has already been used at pro war rallies across germany. thus through, whoops, since the letter z,

as such is of course not forbidden. but in certain cases its use can mean an approval of the russian war of aggression and can therefore be prohibited. according to article 140 of germany's penal code, the russian war of aggression on ukraine is a crime. those who publicly approve of it can make themselves liable to prosecution that as of all of our man years, it'll be political correspondent. nina has are explaining what this ban will mean in practice. well, in practice it means that a can now be considered illegal to express your support for letting me put ins war publicly here in germany. if you do so, you could now officially be committing a crime. and that is, of course, the result of germany having declared that war, illegal and crime. now just which ways of expressing support will be considered illegal. that is where it gets tricky because the letters that exists in the german alphabet and can of course not and should not be banned per se. so german

prosecutors will really have to proven every individual case that there is a clear link to putin's war. and that the use of it is indeed a criminal act, and some of germany, 16 regions have already said that they are currently looking into this topic and not trying to change the rules make it will make it clearer. and here in berlin, for example, it's now illegal to hold up a sign with a letter said on a poster at a demonstration, but waving the flag, the russian flag is not a legal in a hot air. we turn now to israel, where a gunman on a motorcycle has killed 5 people in the ultra orthodox city of the knife, rock just east of television. that is the 3rd incident of its kind in israel within a week. both u. s. secretary of state antony blank and un chief antonio quoterush. i've condemned it as a terrorist attack. a warning the following report contains disturbing french this video shows the alleged gunman on his shooting spree. witness said that the

faces a wave of terrorism after a period of quiet is a violent outburst from those who are trying to destroy us. call those who want to harm us at all costs. are you whose hatred of the jews of the state of israel drives the mat election, those who are willing to die as long as we do not live in peace. there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for this most recent attack yet. but rail remains on high alert, was bringing up to speed now with some other world news stories at this hour. us health officials have authorized a 2nd. coven 19 booster dose for people age 50 and older. the regulators decision opens a 4th dose of the pfizer biotech or more daring vaccines to that age group, at least 4 months after their previous booster. i during officials say several people were killed and many injured in an attack on a major railway line on monday. security sources said some $970.00 passengers were

oh, also performing at that concert was the ukrainian singer jemila, the performer shot to fame across europe in 2016 when she won the eurovision song contest. a song that brought her to victory was an emotional hail about her grandmother, who was forcibly deported from her home in crimea during world war 2. now july, herself, is a refugee forced to flee ukraine, and the words to her song have taken on an even greater importance. ah, an emotional song about her family history performed on german t v. just days after she escaped keith. but the cellar to pick, i wrote a song about my great grandmother and what she told me about being to portrait from crimea in 1944, a screen. her. when i seen these lines to day
