[000:00:00;00] ah ah this is the w y from lane ukraine's president. has a new phase of the war has begun with russia launching a battle for the dumbass. the kremlin has declared capturing the region to be their main goal. also on the program, a correspondent meets the ukrainians, trying to rebuild their homes and their lives. russian soldiers may have left a peam, but this is a 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

ruined beyond repair. residents are cave suburbs, find solace in the clean up. living with the fear of the russians by return and raising awareness and money with football ukraine shock, todd, the next football team fled the war and are touring the world seeking support for their home country. ah, i'm show gail. welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir lensky says russia has begun what is called the battle for the dumbass. after spending days regrouping russian troops now appear to be engaging in a full scale ground offensive along a 500 kilometer front and ukraine's east and south. after suffering setbacks around

key of the kremlin declared its main goal to be the capture of the dumbass region. in the east of ukraine, shots fired on the front line. ukraine says these are some of the opening salvos 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 don abbas law for which they hadn't been preparing for a long time. soon as he or 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. missouri is seldom a new phone. we don't even know where the shelling comes from here we wait for it from there. so thinking that the ukrainian army will protect has it, and it comes from there. you pretty know that there shelling 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 seat any of their territory without a fight. will they w correspondent mathias burner is in the ukrainian at capital,

and i asked him what he was hearing about the russian assault in 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, full 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 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 would 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 willinger in keith. so what does russia hope to achieve with his assault on the down bass region and what would success look like for moscow? i asked, are russia unless konstantin exit i think that i'm in the, from the grunt 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, to, 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 territory 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 meaningful short framework or talk and this, this is going to be a difficult fight for that, for russian forces 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 reservist well, and one might add that, well, 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 war 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 correct. but of course, the rest remains and of course you read ukrainians are going to fight with ashley. and of course there's another issue which i'm not that well mentioned, i think. and that is motivation for the ukrainian forces. the motivation is very high for the russians. it's much lower, probably 3, and because even the aims of this war, i'm not entirely clear. so i suppose that is going to be 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? oh, it's actually one should have sort of expected the parents or to start asking questions . although these parents are the same plan of support, couldn't both as 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 login 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 of the correspondent konstantin. i

got russia shifting, the focus of it's offensive to the don boss has prompted people in other parts of ukraine to return to their home. so what's left of them? they w correspondent, rebecca written travel to the city of pain where residents have 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 straits now scorched and deserted, then sometimes the silence is broken. by the sound of people trying to put their lives back together. no, no, my route 300 square meters of roof is missing. above full of the apartments, there's nothing but the blue sky above the top of the thing and ever older is the caretaker of these $82.00 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. no, not over. now, it is in this state. the house is uninhabitable until we rebuild it. we are more. next door to alga, another group with a similar story. they tell me this wasn't the 1st time they've had to flee. one of putin's was one what you want to hear or maybe live here as a last resort? do you understand what you many of us are from done boss. we came here from war just to simply live and war came here after us up please love. we are peaceful people. we don't want anything bad. we just want to live what law horror knew what you, what brought you more? robert. the most important thing is that it doesn't happen again. person could come back at any time even to morrow. there building was also badly damaged by rocket

fire. one woman shows me where her flat used to be several, almost via 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 where they are like a little away switch, which i know its gone. oh, but i wonder why russian soldiers may have left a pin, but this is the city that has 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 with. 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. oh no one yes. the shad yards de la shortness. i still get frightened by every loud noise which no, i don't know if it will ever go away, but for now, and that's how i am more than less your ordinance a talk. the not so silent trauma that may live on in their lives forever. you're watching t dublin years life from berlin still to come because of where the ukranian football team displaced by the war and are touring the world to raise money for their troops. first though, away from the war, china has reported another 7 cove 19 death in shanghai. the day after announcing the 1st 3 casualties of enraging 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,

just being met with growing resentment. rare 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 neighbourhood. oh, hold of us, 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 trusts 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 doing to him only 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 sleep. these are the things that people are complaining about. most wishy them are to sanger, she 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, or a high shooter. at 1st, 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. an additional is i think there's been

a change in every once 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 was bringing correspondence had been crouch, my in beijing. a welcome family at 10 deaths in a population of 25000000 is tragic, of course, but it doesn't sound like a major outbreak. how reliable others official figures i mean in general, they are reliable. i'm, however, i wouldn't take them at face or by you because of one problem, the transparency. so we don't know exactly what the criteria of a, when or what defines a cobra death in china. m. so we know from several this in am, for example, nursing homes for elderly and where several, at least a dozen died, died and they don't chop in the statistics. however,

the context is also that an infection numbers are not extremely high am. every day we have 20 to 30000 infections and i would guess that most of them are probably all of them are m spotted quite early because and every other day and all of the 25 or almost 26000000 residents of shanghai get tested out by tpc artists, not antigen tests. so i think i am the numbers themselves are quite accurate and, and because they are spotted so early, the death rate i would say, is probably a little higher than the official data, but not much higher. right. and how successful has the government 0 coverage policy been where i think the tides are turning right now, am until quite recently, several months ago. and people were quite satisfied with the 0 corporate policy because it has made em the everyday life quite, you know, without hiccups. everything was quite normal, but now with the army crunch, i'm the locked downs. have you know or caught mock frequently. and what we see in

shanghai now is really the dark side of the c recovered policy. and people are afraid of am, you know, food supplies and people are also dying because of other underlying conditions. but they cannot get medical help on time just because of the restrictions. i mean, you cannot just simply leave your residential compound. you cannot just enter a hospital without a negative pc, artists. so there's a lot of frustration because of those. so basically the collateral damage right now is much higher than the death told by the virus itself. yeah. and part of that collateral damage of, of course, is the economic effect of the strict lock downs detection. yeah, i mean there are, so are the a big bank, safe cut, their growth forecasts right now. we know that or probably this year 2020 to the growth forecasts will be by 4.2 percent of the g d p. that is far too low for country at which alone this year has more than $10000000.00 university graduates who am come to the market and a host of them economy probably cannot. you know,

supply so many am a qualified jobs. so that's a big problem. and in general, am, we know that the consumption is biggest hit. i mean that's basically m half says decreased a lot. nobody is traveling any more people are really insecure. no, been what he wants to invest in this climate because right now, even in areas where there are no lock downs, that's really the paranoia that any day a restrictions might be imposed to. so yeah, i would say the economic yet damage is huge. thank you for that fab in fabbing crunch my in beijing with wells biggest carnival is back. hundreds of thousands of revelers will take to the streets of rio de janeiro in the coming days. was ills, famous sombre schools, have been rehearsing and carnival go as a celebrating their freedom to party again as the city lifts covered restrictions, ah, ecstatic crowds from the streets of rio de janeiro as carnival kicks off over the

easter weekend. it's unusually like this year, but the festival was delayed because of the covered 19 pandemic. a major outbreak of the army kron variant hit brazil in february, got glad of that, knows the right moment, we're all vaccinated and we can finally let our hair down. gears is up, was camera, so all go elsewhere. people are still preparing their costumes. this is the high point of the year for rio's summer schools. many of the members died during the pandemic. others spent weeks in intensive care about if wouldn't oil. my so no other other patients died next to me in the hospital. i was completely exhausted and i felt alone. in the summer drum last rehearsals are underway. a few days before the big competition of the summer schools. last year it had to be canceled to, to the pandemic. with the return of the st. carnival, the residence of rio are enjoying

a kind of rebirth after 2 difficult years to the boy. it really wasn't easy, but now we feel again that the power is in us. the power to keep going. they were watching a lot of the v and the people of rio are once again ready to fully embrace the carnival season. that they are famous for the war and new cranes affecting all aspects of life course, including sport, where the football leaks suspended are following. the invasion. ukrainian club shocked, haunted gnats embarked on the tour of charity games that they've nicknamed the global tour for peace. the 1st matches took them to greece and poland, and today they're playing from batch, a stumble at the games aim to raise money for ukraine's 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. i don't even hear on the train on field in gottsacker city of stumble.

the 4th quarter to a 3rd se, but much per your current 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, marty ankle and shocked. r donnette have had to run from bombs before in 2014 fighting between government forces and pro russian separatists broke out in east and ukraine shocked us stadium. the don bus arena was badly damaged by shelling. so just her as a young boy, i often went to the dunbar, serena, and it was my biggest dream to play at this wonderful stadium for a shock. dog donnette school started, but then the war started and we left right on the stairway. we're coming up since then. shocked on has led

a nomadic existence. they 1st fled to western ukraine than east again to harkey. eventually the capital keith became their new home. and that's why me calamity anchor was when the russian invasion began on february 24th feminine motivator. for parish that even today i can't believe that this has happened or i felt so worried because i didn't know what to do. so when you're, when you're coming and that hasn't changed and you feel so empty and because you realize that your people are suffering from foreign adults though it's very hard now shocked. tom is on the moons again, although ukrainian men of military age are currently required to stay in the country . micheler and his teammates were given special government permission to leave in early april. here in istanbul, they are now preparing for
