[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w is life from berlin, ukraine's president says a new phase of the war has begun with russia lodging. the bottled for the dumbass, the crab bin has declared capturing the region to be their main goal. also on the program, russian soldiers may have left a pin, but this is the city that's been left in ruins. there isn't a building we can say that doesn't at least bear some scars of the war and many a ruined beyond repair. in the suburbs near cave,

we meet the ukrainians trying to rebuild their homes and their lives, and more coven 19 death. in shanghai, the virus continues to spread in china's most popular city. despite a week's long locked outlets, confined to millions of people to their homes. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. ukrainian present volume is the lens. he says russia has begun what he called the battle for the dung bass. after spending days regrouping russian troops now appear to be engaging in a full scale ground offensive along a 500 kilometer front in ukraine's east and south. after suffering setbacks around keith, the kremlin declared its main goal to be the capture,

the dumbass region in the east of ukraine. shots fired on the front line. ukraine says these are some of the opening salvoes of rushes offensive from the east. in 40 drill, east bud, ukrainian defense ministry troops say they are ready to defend the don bass. let them come. this soldier says summit them up. they will stay here forever. there is enough land to bury them all ukraine's president said this was the start of a new phase in the war. i did that as or more that we can now state that russian troops had begun the battle for the dawn about sla, for which they hadn't been preparing for a long time. soon as here is a significant part of the entire russian army is now concentrated on this offensive, no matter how many russian troops are driven there, we will fight. we will defend ourselves and we will do it every day that we won't give up any thing. ukrainian green school navy,

the more ah thousands of residents and now tracked in towns under constant shelling this woman lives in the remains of a village near the front line. she describes living in anew. no man's land must love you so that when you find we don't even know where the shelling comes from. here we wait for it from there. now thinking that the ukrainian army will protect has it and it comes from there people to know that there. shelly from all directions is that one with russian forces in control of much of the east and south . one pocket of resistance remains the as of south steel plant in mario poll, ukrainian fight is holding up here. say russia has dropped bunker, busting bombs on the complex, but here as elsewhere, ukrainians are refusing to seed any of their territory without a fight. while the w correspondent missing is putting a is in the ukranian capital key. if i asked him what he was hearing about this russian assault on the east. yeah,

the ukranian authorities have established that this was the beginning of the assault. it's mainly coming from the north, from the town of unit. that's one town that's in between don, boss and hargrove, and it looks like the aim would be to move south from there and then cut off the forces that are east of that a. yeah, we don't know, of course, what is going to happen and how well the ukranian army is prepared. but what we do know is that they have expected this for a long time, and that they have tried to prepare, as well as possible for, for quite a few weeks now. and all this discussion about heavy weaponry that we've been hearing, the delivery of new weapons. all this was meant to fight back an assault on don boss from the russian side. right, and whatever, mary paul, i'm, we've been following a events there. 4 weeks in the pentagon says

a senior concentration of air strikes and artillery there. yeah, we know that the, the last parts of the ukrainian army that are still in the city are in this steel works is gigantic, still works. that was the symbol of the city and they are staying there. there's a huge bunker underneath a system of tunnels and civilians are also hiding there what we've been hearing, but it's unconfirmed. is that many of the civilians are the relatives of the soldiers because they are afraid that they might be a target for the russian army. as well, um it seems that the army is still there in this very small part of town and it's heavily bombed. we've seen pictures. but for the moment it's as it has been a war of attrition, a very cruel war of attrition. and where you pull, right, and how likely is it that ukrainian forces will be able to defend mary a fall and

keep the russians out? well, the only way to do that would be another offensive us from coming from another side and, and this opening a corridor breaking the blockade of the city. we haven't seen any offensive in that direction. we haven't seen any preparations for that. so it seems that the ukranian army is not able to do that at the moment. and civilians of course caught up in all of this how they dealing with this increase in hostilities. the ukranian authorities have called upon civilians to leave these areas in don bus that are likely to be a theater of the next escalation. we have also seen that there were trains to bring out people. we don't know how many civilians are left there, but from what we've seen in the war before. what within him and maria paul and north of ki of is that this is

a war that spares no one and that is it can be extremely a cruel on civilians as well. so most people would probably be well advised to follow this, this advice by the government. i thank you for that with his billing or in keith. ok, now let's take a closer look at what russia hopes to achieve in this battle for the don bass with russia, unless a constantine agate. welcome constantine. and so what does russia once with this assault on the dumbass? what will success look like for moscow? well, it's only good getting to put in said ah, i think vouch for the, from the ground will be slightly different from the view all the russian generals on the ground, i think that the generals will settle for a much, much more narrow definition of success. quote, unquote,

are to satisfy putin and to convince you that this is indeed success. i'd say that maybe taking multiple and establishing a land bridge between, well, the internationally recognized category of the russian federation. and the crimea may be defined as success because frankly speaking, i don't think that anything can, anything else can be achieved in any medical, short framework or talk and this, this is going to be a difficult fight for that, for russian forces. is it because they're going to be taking on some of ukraine's most experienced troops? and we've seen that russia has had problems with logistics and morale. and that's with, that's when when fighting inexperienced troops and reservists well, and one might add that we're also the western arm

supplies. i kind of helped you grain until now and probably are going to help in the future. yes, you're right. i think the issue of a very old fashioned type of will strategy is going to spread among at least military analysts. i talked to these days quite a lot and i suppose that's what we, what i've heard, at least from some of the analysts watching the scene that some of the logistics problems that the russians had may have been slightly. so talk, corrected. but of course, the rest remains and of course your ukrainians are going to fight their internationally. and of course there's another issue which i love that to well mentioned. i think that is motivation for the ukrainian forces. the motivation is very high for the russians, it's much lower,

really because of the aims of this war. i'm not entirely clear. so i suppose that it is going to be a very, very talk fight for putting troops indeed. and now we have the found this of russian sailors on the mosque fall. that's at sunken black sea flagship. they're demanding and says, how much of a problem is this going to be? the president putin? not much of a problem. although if they actually one should have sort of expected the parents or to start asking questions. although lease plans are the same plan to support with many of that at least judging by their proposal, social media are but i think that as opposed to what used to be when example the court shut marine sank 22 years ago, nearly in 2000 when there was really a public outcry where there was independent television logging in to kind of media . it's not like that today. and i suspect that the damage report and we'll be

limited. good talking to our server constantly. i think the correspondent konstantin, i guess on russia shifting the focus of it's a offensive to the don bass has prompted people in other parts of ukraine to return to their homes. what's left of them? he w correspondent, rebecca recessed travel to travel to the city of a p y residence or started to rebuild. despite the constant fear that the calm may not last one thing that strikes you when you enter a pain is the silence. these once bustling streets now scorched and deserted, then sometimes the silence is broken. by the sound of people trying to put their lives back together. i have nothing in my route. 300 square meters of roof is missing. above full of the apartment, there's nothing but the blue sky above the top of the thing. a neighbor older is

the caretaker of these 82 flats and she lives in one of the top over there to my apartment is in this part of the building that was damaged by missiles. she stayed right through the occupation to try to save them from russian soldiers taking them over, but was helpless to stop the missiles. moon not over. now, it is in this state. the house is uninhabitable until we rebuild it. or do you more next door to olga, another group with a similar story. they tell me this wasn't the 1st time they've had to flee. one of potent was one what you have on here or maybe live here as a last resort. do you understand what many of us are from done bass we came here from war just to simply live and war came here after us. se love, we are peaceful people. we don't want anything bad. we just want to live what law, horror, new, hiking him. what brought the human rubbish? the most important thing is that it doesn't happen again. person could come back at

any time even to morrow. their building was also badly damaged by rocket fire. one woman shows me where her flat used to be. several almost finer. this was my bedroom and there was a balcony behind it larger and no, there is no balcony there at all or so. um, my things were, they are like a little away so which of which i know its gone. oh, but on the mile, russian soldiers may have left a pin, but this is the city that's been left in ruins. there isn't a building we can say that doesn't at least bear some scars of the war and many a ruined beyond repair. while the physical clean up is underway, the emotional scars will take a lot longer to heal. for many who fled when the war broke out, they have little left to come back to. but for those who stayed behind many will

have an even bigger recovery to contend width of the day. i. if the wall comes again, i will survive in any case, i will always survive because i have a bare and he protects me near sky. when yes, this is shad yards de la shortness i still get frightened by every loud noise which i don't know if it will ever go away. but for now, and that's how i am more than lesser ordinance a talk the not so silent trauma that may live on in their lives forever. this is the dumbly news, alive from berlin. still to come, michel, we catch up with a ukrainian football team displaced by the wall and now touring the world to raise money for veterans. had of that and of way from the war. china has been reporting another 7 cove at 19 deaths in shanghai. that's the day after announcing the 1st 3 fatalities of

a raging army kron outbreak. the city of more than 25000000 has been locked down for 3 weeks as part of the country's 0 coven policy, which is being met with growing anger and frustration. where scenes of descent hinting at growing anger under shanghai is locked down. 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, hold this, 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. and 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 loudspeakers summon 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 up 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. okay. 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 hey, she too obsessed people was scared of the virus 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 issue. so i think there's been a change in everyone's thinking. but so far there is no sign of a change in thinking by china's communist leaders. they continued to insist that the country must stick to its tough measures aimed at eliminating the virus must get more from a correspondent fabric crunch my in beijing. welcome 5. in a 10 desolate population of 25000000 is tragic, but it doesn't sound like a major outbreak. how reliable are those gotten figures? yeah, i mean we have to keep in mind the dimension of this outbreak, the daily infection numbers are not excessive. so basically, for the last 2 weeks, they am revolved around 20230000 every day and that in

a population of more than 25000000 people in shanghai. and we know that the m mass testing is s systematic and an ethics. tens of as probably in no other place in the world right now. and every resident is getting tested m. yeah, every other day with a p c r test. so probably they spot the infection classes quite early. so i don't, i wouldn't expect that the death rate would be a much higher, but probably it is higher than what the official numbers reflect because the definition is not very transparent. and the criteria is really very strict of what has caused really a cobra death or what was it in underlying condition. those are questions that are not ready answered by the end of forty's in a transparent way. and how successful has the, the chinese government 0 cove in policy b yeah. from the start of 2020 gotten to the senior. i would think it was prospect as put, i mean, but

a freight quote. it must have been brought up with a tight public. probably it doesn't appear that our technicals are just getting in the way that we're going to do that. perhaps we'll talk to you again in the next hour. but for our fabric criteria in beijing, thank you. i'd apologies for the sound problems there will have a look at a round up of some other news making headlines around the world. now we'll start in the united states where the government no longer enforced the wearing of masks on public transport. this follows a ruling from a federal court in florida that the directive was unlawful overturning a key white house effort to reduce the spread of cov 90. the move prompted several major airlines to drop their mask mandates. israel says it's war plants have struck the gaza strip after these railing, military intercepted a missile fired from the palestinian territory. i'm ass which controls garza

claimed israel hit what it said were empty sites. the incident to follow so we can do is rarely a palestinian violence in and around jerusalem's. our acts and mosque police in peru. her begun to destroy 116 tons of illegal drugs found over the past 4 months. the loot includes a cocaine and coca paste and marijuana approved one of the world's largest cocaine producing countries. only 40 people have been injured in sweden after several days of rioting. the unrest was sparked by the leader of the far right, anti immigration, and anti islam. a group hard line, rasmus apollo done is touring the country ahead of elections this year and is accused of spreading hate. several muslim countries have condemned the violence. a swedish authorities, a calling for more resources to restore order. scenes from an easter we can,

that's likely to live long in sweden's memory for days of riots in several cities. stones thrown police cars set on fire, and a total of $26.00 police officers injured, they all volleyball. this violence is directed against the police and society. this has nothing to do with any kind of protest. it's an unjustifiable attack on our legal system and our democracy. it started with a provocation from the far right politician rasmus paladin here at a rally on good friday burning a coffee of the koran in front of crowds of moslems authorities had authorized 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 have 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 reflector from police them. 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. on the war in ukraine is affecting all aspects

of life. of course, including sport with the football leaks, suspended or following the invasion, ukrainian club shock. todd, the netscape has embarked on a tour of charity games. they've nicknamed the global 2 of a piece of 1st matches, took them to greece and poland, and today they're playing a fan of budget is stumble, the games aim to raise money for ukraine's that military and help ukrainians displaced by the war. i hardly a moment goes by when me calamity ankle isn't thinking about the war. back home in ukraine. even here on the train on field, in the turkish city of stumble. the for the quarter, for 3rd se, for much period in your heart, if you want to stay there and help all of your people go arkenberg already bought. your brain seems to tell you that in fact, i mean you can't do anything sister to little. and the only thing you know how to do that can help the country is playing football and i have football,
