watch with the thought of you, hulu. at the moment, while we are here, as a style is being stormed, why are you mad? your pool is still under siege and people could not leave to do that. at dens. of thousands of such people dens of thousands of women, an elderly remain in mud your poor little day. we will have you. russian shelling continued to the d and maggio full soon after the evacuation was completed . dawes, who remained awed in despair. stanish hearts you wake up in the morning and you cry . she needs you cry in the evening. i don't know where to go at all. she hung up. i am not alone nora's. imagine everything is destroyed. everything is broken. come you know, where should the people go now? oh, relatives off. so we'll just still fighting the odds off. blonde held valleys in cave

to do demanding the be evacuated to why ukrainian authorities promised to continue the operation. they say international intervention will be crucial. horrible date every course on fanny fashion is standing by force in cave. fanny airstrikes yesterday, hitler vive, and all the targets in the center and the west of the country, and russia claims to be focusing on the east. so what are those attacks hoping to achieve? well, basically, russia wants to advance just describe it. they shifted their focus after this unsuccessful, a soldier kia from february 24th. the shifted it now 3rd months into the small, more and more that was the don't bus region, but also for the sudden a part of ukraine. however, these are not the only appalling if you break that experience is heavy. shelly, as we heard and seen in that report all seen the video, actually a part of ukraine west in ukraine that still follows right to the spades from

attacks is also coming on the more intensified attack. lately, with the most recent reported by the league of may or they of a water and electricity infrastructure being hit. however, if you look at the dumbass region, especially when you listen to the governor's day of the lou, hans can the don't you ask region. basically, these hardly any place left they were civilians can be a safe or feel safe. and in fact a govern off lance. pointed out, it's not just becoming really impossible to evacuate people from the lon screeching for example, but also just to remove a dead bodies from the street. so you can imagine, of course, that the situation there is very, very desperate for people, but not only they, obviously the focus has been also during the past weeks on model pull more of the steel plan there people remain trapped, but also in the city itself about $100000.00 people are still in that city that's heavily damaged every the 3rd month into this war. funny on that, on the steel plant, we hear that for russian forces have launched renewed assault on that plan. so

despite the fact that president putin just a few weeks ago, had previously ordered the military to hold back from bombarding the plan, does it appear that they're stepping up pressure now on the soldiers trapped there in the agile style? russia's basically saying that that brief, c smile on there, which that one group of people about $100.00 of them could be evacuated, that that temporary cease fire. there was basically use the rather misused, this is the russian claim are by the off regimen, but others holding off there in that steel plant suit, tried to regroup and, and try to find off that russian aggression. so basically russia is having a painting that narrative of trying to just defend and the nazi fi they say these plays because after all, and this has to be added to, to the as of regiment is a very controversial unit to that is a trying to defend not only the steel plaid, but that actually played a key role in trying to defend mario pool from russian occupation,

a group that's being accused of sharing a very radical, ultra nationalist fuse. so this is basically a group that was then used also as a pretext for russia to invade ukraine under this pretext to dina, up to 5 demilitarize ukraine. so yeah, shelly continues to my poll and the people on the ground in this to your plan have to be the bronze death for to get out was real day. nobody knows. all right, any thanks for that update of the correspondent, funny fashion keith. germany's opposition later friedrich mass has traveled to ukraine to assess the destruction in the wake of the russian invasion. notes is the highest ranking german official to visit the country and met officials at a time chancellor left schultz is being criticized for his refusal to make the trip european commission president as an on the line is expected to spell out a new set of sanctions against russia later today, they said to include

ninety's. it hosts the russian military base and has ever since maintained close ties with russia. trans snifter borders, ukraine and mar dover. many have ties to the other side. but now that ukraine is at war with russia, contact has become difficult before and many wouldn't travel between us and ukraine . but now this 3 months has come to a lot. when the war started, the border with the territory was closed. the collation has been raved, the russian troops on the territory could join in the fighting crane. and nearby market used to cater to the visitors from over the river has become very quiet. the end of april explosions where he ported from the other side many a year. they could before the flag operation to justify the territory joined the war. you put your number in the national leave to

on natalie's planning to open his bar later this season. but as conflict bloom's business prospects remain, tim attending to the u. s. now an outrage is growing after the supreme court signalled and could soon roll back abortion rights. on tuesday, the court confirmed the validity of a late draft opinion indicating that justice is looking to overturn the landmark roe v wade ruling and legalized abortion nationwide. in 1973 us vice president common hires condemned the court plans as an assault on freedom. those republican leaders who are trying to weaponized the youth of the law against women. well, we say, how dare they? how did they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? how dare they?

how dare they try to stop her from determining her own future? how dare they tried to deny women, their rights, and their freedoms. and demonstrators have rallied in cities across the country to protest the draft decision. abortion rights advocates gathered in front of court houses and federal buildings, including outside the nation's top court in washington, dc. oh, the bomb show league set off a firestorm of fury in the u. s capital as pro choice protestors gathered outside the supreme court, they are not going to get away with this. let me said, i don't care what i had to do, but they're not going to do this, the dc, and they're not going to do this to america. there's more books than it is of them . and we're going to fight, though in the draft. it's the strongest evidence yet that a majority of the supreme court is preparing to overturn the right to abortion. a

right established nearly half a century ago in the 1973 landmark ruling roe vs wade. the opinion penned by justice salmonella, later and backed by other conservative justices, goes further than many had expected. the $98.00 page long document calls ro, egregiously wrong from the start, and would leave the fate of a woman's right to choose in the hands of lawmakers in individual states for anti abortion activists. it would mark a victory decades in the making or now that we have the science and technology in ultrasound technology to know that babies in the womb or human beings, we should be protecting them in law. there's no excuse any more. the likely decision to overturn roe v wade would not have been possible without former president donald trump. his 3 appointments to the supreme court tilted the balance in conservatives favor. but for millions of women, the ruling would come at a high cost. as many seeking in abortion would have to travel to other states to

get one, a toll critic se would hit those already struggling emotionally and financially the hardest. currently, 26 of 50 states, a set to ban or restrict abortion. many worry it would deepen the divide in an already polarized country, where the democrats currently predicted to lose control of congress in the mid term elections. this november, progressive lawmakers, a calling on the party to fight back before it's too late. in a tweet, sen, bernie sanders urged his colleagues to pass legislation securing the right to abortion with the controversial issue now old, but short to dominate the coming months. america could be headed for a highly divisive midterm election. oh, you're watching daily news. as a reminder of the top story we're following for you. russia has launched new
