we will fight. we will defend ourselves and we will do it every day. we won't give up any thing. ukrainian green school may be done more than you shall while. meanwhile, the western city of living has been hit by multiple russian rocket attacks, where these 7 people were killed in ukrainian troops in mile poll, said that the fight that they will be fighting till the end as russia claims is approaching victory in the passage port city your gross gorilla, g. russian missiles raining down on ukraine. russia says it's aiming at military targets and a campaign to weaken ukrainian defenses. what the strikes also kill civilians in levine alone at least 7. the owner of this service station found 4 of his employees dead in the ruins of his shop. and i guess, but after you, i was planning to go to work when my colleagues called liberal. they told me that there had been an explosion, and that there was a fire some

a particular sure the is the, the worst part of course are the victims look issued the wiki. i jumped in my car and was here in 10 minutes. when was it? and i saw it with my own eyes. it was up about this with my little boy, while attacks and levine have been rare. in maria poll, they've forever changed the face of the city. ukraine says at least 21000 people have been killed here. but it is another vision, really careful, marty, you pull has undergone extremely heavy destruction as a result of the rocket bomb and artillery fire that russia is conducting. round the clock along the russian army has failed to hope to seize. mar, you pull completely your set of all thanks to the courage of those units. both the ukranian armed forces and other military formation. some that are there, as you put a boy. those holdouts are making what could be their last stand here in the vast as of style. industrial zone with them are civilians, including children,

and circled and low on food. they know that if maria paul falls, russian forces tied up here will be free to move on to other targets such as the town of rubies in it. now on the front line and under constant shelling, this woman lives in a nearby village or what's left of it. she describes what it's like being in no man's land. that was lovely so that when you buy, we don't even know where the shelling comes from. here we wait for it from there, i'm thinking that the ukranian army will protect has but then it comes from there. you pretty know that there shelly from all directions, is that one elsewhere in ukraine's east, the soldiers prepared to hold the line against whatever the russian army throws at them. emotion was at some of our motivation is our home, the mother land. we can't take

a single step back. we can't retreat. that's the whole secret of our work on a roof. and with ukraine's president saying rush, his long awaited offensive has begun that work may have entered a deadly new phase. i spoke to elias that called, she's a russia analyst from the university college london. she explains what's happening on the ground and how western sanctions are affecting russia at the moment we have on the battlefield is essentially the ukrainians. having the manpower, particularly 3 mobilization, but needing sort of more firepower, the russian major problem is the lack of manpower. so even if we hear the stories of sort of tank produces no longer being able to produce tags and no difficulties in trying to create sort of new equipment actually does of equipment. the russians have enough. but it's a question whether they have sufficient sort of manpower,

so just to be able to fight it in the long run. sanctions will of course, have very negative full backs in terms of russians capacity to rebuild themselves militarily. but i think that unfortunately, the effect may not be quick enough with regards to the actual battle field and that say the decisive battle feel in dumbass. and that the sanctions are not really going to be able to effect that in a short time. in the long run, absolutely. the russians, russian military were much weakened by the sanctions that have been placed against them. i guess, look at some of the other headlines in the ukraine war pictures have emerged appearing to show russia's black sea flagship, the mosque over on fire and engulfed in smoke just moments before it went down. the war ship sank off to allegedly being hit by ukrainian missiles, something the kremlin denies. the missile cruiser was the biggest russian warship lost in action since world war 2. president vladimir zalinski is hoping for

progress in ukraine's application to join the european union. he submitted a membership documents to the eas representative in keith. ukraine wants to be granted candidate status at an e summit in june. now, china is reporting another 7 death and shanghai from the cove at 19 outbreak. day after announcing its 1st debts, china's most wealthy city of 26000000 people has been in lockdown for 3 weeks as part of the country's 0 covered policy, which is being met with growing anger and frustration. where scenes of descent hinting at growing anger under shanghai lockdown, police and protective gear put an end to what was reportedly a protest against plans to set up an isolation complex in this neighborhood. oh holy, was he on law abiding citizens? we want to do what we can to help the country. you prohibited us from meeting

others or even going outside anywhere when we complied. but now you want to put highly infectious people less than 20 meters away from where we live. what more do we have to put up with upper loud speakers, summit residents to come out of their homes for mandatory testing? any one who tests positive is sent to an isolation center for at least a week of observation. regardless whether they show symptoms with as many as a 1000 people packed in to make shipped facilities living conditions. there are also a source of frustration going to here. normally the bathrooms are not very clean. that's understandable because so many people are using them and cleaners and volunteers can't keep on for their little dirty. and we haven't been able to take a warm shower. the lights are on all night long and so it's hard to film asleep.

these are the things that people are complaining about most. we see them are to sanisha location and with hollywood. and if i was on a doctors come by twice a day to take patients temperature with many exhibiting no symptoms at all. increasingly, people are more concerned about the hardships the outbreak is causing than the virus itself. so it, hey, city obsessed people was scared of the virus and were panicking. but with the figures that are being published every day, people have started to accept the fact. but this particular virus is not that horrible man a different. so i think there's been a change in every once thinking no, no. but so far there is no sign of a change in thinking by china's communist leaders. they continue to insist that the country must stick to its tough measures, aimed at eliminating the virus. on his look at some other stories making headlines around the world. in the united states, the government will no longer enforce the wearing of masks on public transport. it

comes after a federal judge in florida rule, it was unlawful overturning a key white house effort to reduce the spread of coven 19. the move prompted several major airlines to drop that mask mandates. police and peru have begun destroying more than 16 tons of illegal drugs found over the past 4 months. the loot includes cocaine, cocoa pace, and marijuana. peru is one of the world's largest cocaine producing countries or israel says it's war. planes has struck the gaza strip. it follows an interception of a missile fired from the palestinian territory, hamas which controls garza claimed israel had hit quote, empty sites. it's an escalation of ongoing violence that's overshadowed religious celebrations, pass over for jews this year, coincides with both ease of christmas for christians and fasting. month of ramadan for muslims, thousands of jewish worshippers gathered and prayed at the western wall in jerusalem on sunday,

amid tight security. that's follow tensions around the old cities. holy sites. ah, the wailing wall in jerusalem, where thousands of devout jews receive a priest's blessing. the rituals detracting particularly large numbers during the jewish passover festival police presence insecurity. checks have been massively increased for days now because this year the jewish passelberry is taking place at the same time of the muslim ramadan holiday. all the jews are coming from all over israel with some people overseas game year old goes to where the situation is a little bit tight. what people believe that this is our place in your the ward, the game year. just a few meters away, right wing nationalist jews are visiting the temple mount, although they are forbidden to pray. here from his limbs to alex, a mosque is a holy place. even a visit under police protection is

a provocation. in the eyes of miss lynde, palestinians, violence between israeli police and palestinians has already broken out twice since friday. on sunday. police also forced entry into the mos for what they said was a search for weapons. a 170 people were injured mostly on the palestinian site. in response the arab party rom, threatened to leave is really government coalition alliance. or what happened at alex across was the red line. so does the behavior of the police specific. so what do you mean? red line model. oh, we've shown the government the yellow card. if the continue like this, there will be the red kinessa terrible. and this is a threat that has no consequences for the time being because they israeli parliament is still in recess until the beginning of may amend shula. and he's 40 people have been injured in sweden after several days of riots. the unrest was boxed by the leader of the far right, anti immigration, anti islam group. hard line. ross was pollo, donna's toria,

his rallies, but there were counter protests, especially in southern sweden. please see criminal gangs attended those, their motive not political protest, but pure violence. if he, there are too many people in our country who lost faith in a better future and prefer to turn to crime. we have to prevent this, as we've been saying for a long time, our own reflective, hopefully some for years sweden has failed to get a grip on its problem with criminal gangs. the government has acknowledged its own mistakes until no violence had mainly been associated with drug skaggs. the fact that police officers are now being attacked is a new label of escalation. and that's something that sweetens justice minister is all too keen to get to the bottom of the song as long as we will find answers. and we will do it in such a way that we hold as many responsible people accountable for their crimes as

possible. that is also an important signal. it's clear that sweden has to work 3 far more than the damage from the weekend. gang crime is likely to be one of the main issues in september's election that set you up to date coming up next is hash tag happy of he had social media is dictatorship of happiness with
