ah, ah ah ah, this is due to the news line from berlin, russia steps up, it's offensive on the ukraine's dumbass region. platinum is the landscape accuses moscow wanting to destroy everything in the region and hail, but courage of ukrainians resisting the invasion. also on the program, another

u. s. community devastated by gun violence after a shooter kills 19 children and 2 teachers at texas primary school authorities. now say all of the victims were found in one classroom on the summit, invalid consider to have major events like the pandemic. and the war in you cried impact women plus the potting prime minister, a long way to report claims as senior u. k. officials for holding illegal gatherings during cairo, nevada lockdown. revelations, once again turn the political heat under virus jumps. ah, i'm from gale. welcome to the program. russia a stepping up its attack. so on ukraine's eastern dumbass region of the fi, things being reported in and around the industrial. if savannah done yet squatting,

regional governor has at least 12 people have been killed in shelling. moscow says it will continue. it's offensive until it achieves its goals. the battle for silverado next it's capture would allow russia to advance into the other half of the don bass region. the shelling is constant. some 15000 people are believed to be hiding in shelters. to help, you know, is her 1st edition, 2nd, a 3rd minute area problems. the russians have reportedly surrounded. silverado nets on 3 sides. the governor of lou hans province has warned that evacuations are now too risky. still some are seizing what could be their last opportunity to escape while you're on the leg. now it seems like the front is

all around it for i think he's around the death that we can see trucks from the army be the phillies around the city. so it seems likely that to me, it's about the board elsewhere, and don bass trains are filling up as people seek the relative safety of western ukraine. since the war broke out, ukraine has become a country synonymous with defiance. but russia's latest offensive is testing its limits. my country is dying, says this man. i am worried, but we will win each one while call respond. mathias bullying is in the dumbass region, his income, a toss. can i asked him about the concentration of firepower that yeah, it's indeed intense firepower, that's everybody who are we've spoken to has said they've basically brought

everything there have here. and in order to capture this one, city of sierra the net or to be more precise eve out of the nest and then city that is next to it separated only by a river. alyssa, chance these 2 places, which each of them had once 100000 inhabitants, are, are surrounded, but from 3 sides of it are the nest from the sides and the other side, las chance is open. but the road there has become under huge pressure. russian troops are very close and keep shelling this road and that is what makes it so dangerous to travel there. so russia has made constant advances in this direction and all of these advances were not very big. the ukranian army is holding the lines as much as they can, but every small game brings them closer to the goal of surrounding in and the region is now extremely dangerous and weak that the rest of us can only imagine

what it must be like to live under the constant threat of that constant shelling and firepower our people. they're coping what are they telling you? yeah, shelling is happening all over the region even here in chrome at all, which is quite far from the line a plane today, dropped bombs on a, on a residential area. but of course, these places that are closer to the front line, they are under, under constant shelling, it's very difficult for people to live there. we've been to list a chance for 2 days ago, and it's a really, it's really, really, really dire situation. people hear this shelling, they live in the basement. you never know where it hits and this is even this place is less her has be showed less than 0. the net where shelling is more constant and you see you can watch across. you can see across the river and you see 7 is always a few points that are burning. so life has become very dangerous there,

plus the problems with a, with the, with supplies drinking water has to be brought in by trucks. now this, when the axes getting more difficult, there's also a problem with drinking water. no electricity, no, a mobile phone network, no internet. so people there feel really abandoned. they are, some of them are saying that the power, like the people empower the administration, has abandoned them. and i've met the governor of this region and i've asked him what he says or what he has to say a towards these people. so if we continue to evacuate them, if doctors are still working there, if we continue to supply them with drinking water, who can say that we have given up on them? no more because they remaining in these places that are under russian fire. they expose everybody to danger. let's stick to the fact. he's got 1st,

the authorities are present and these places are we don't stay there overnight because it is not safe. well, will be the use of staying in a place where there is no connection and no possibility to organize any help. none at all. if sherman's alicia said mister bizarre school wasn't sure walking across the central square and telling people look chuckle, i'm here with you into the court that does not help these people because of the short, the people who are staying there, exposing everybody to danger themselves. and the people who keep bringing them water medicine and food usa bear with the quote to the keeper. was it 15 inch of order to leak it to you? it is pulling, it almost sounds like the governor is blaming people for staying. he was definitely angry at this, so i add this guy, confrontational. he was not happy with this position. of course, he has a point though, because the authorities have been telling people to leave since the beginning of

april, so that more than 6 weeks already. and they have organized a lot of evacuations, and many people have evacuated if you, if you look, if you behind me they are very few people on the street hearing from at horse. and it's the same in many places. the tragedy is that those people who remain down from people who are really afraid of going some way because they're very poor and they are afraid that nobody will help them. these are people who are old, who feel it's too much for them to go. it's also people who are saying, well, in the end we've seen a lot in our life and it might not, and that badly. and then often when they realize it's worse, this time, it is bad. there's already these opportunities to evacuate aid, they're already closing and they remain trapped there. um, so it's a, it's a very tragic situation. but the one thing you can not blame the authorities for is that they have not told people to do. thank you for that matter. so bullying in

come a task, take a quick look at some source away from the war. or thought isn't burkina faso say rescue us found the boat is a 4 of the 8 minus who have been missing since mid april. contact was lost with the men after their mind. flooded rescue teams have been pumping the water out for weeks. of the search for the office is ongoing. 170 people are missing. after a boat carrying migrant sank off the coast of to near by 24, people have been rescued. the un migration agency says the boat set off from neighboring libya before it sank. me that you knew in city of sax, south korea's military says north korea has 53 ballistic missiles, authorities and souls. they appear to be in preparation for your young 7th nuclear test. u. s. president joe biden has just ended a trip to asia jr. in which he agreed to new measures to deter the know

the to the united states were 19 children and 2 adults have been killed in a school shooting in texas. it happened as an elementary school in the town of over that near the mexican border. the 18 year old shooter barricaded himself and his victims inside a classroom where he was killed by police. for many americans, a tragedy once again raises the question, what can be done to stop the gun violence? grieving family members waiting to know if their kid survived. we can get anything we can get in anything as little as they are. okay. they're not okay. or we're still waiting or you know, no, no information has been received any of the parents or they have alyssa for her name in here. so she not here. so we'll have it on down antonini santorial to look we find her at least 19 children and 2 teachers were killed in this texas elementary school. the death toll is expected to rise,

residence in the small town of val, they are still trying to process the tragedy sick, breaking my heart, i just didn't ever expect anything like that to happen very well. and then the men person that did this to you today, school, it was one device with here it was a student here with more than 200 mass shootings in the u. s. so far this year, many americans asking themselves the same question over and over again. including and be a coach steve kerr, when are we gotta do something? i'm tired. i'm so i'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to to the devastated families that are out there. i'm so tired of excuse me, i'm sorry i'm tired of moments of silence enough. as gun control is back in the political debate, the people of valdez gathered to more in after the deadly mass shooting. something

far too many families and friends have to go through in the u. s. d. w, corresponded in a poll in washington, gave me this update. i still don't know any motors fill of the shooter only that he posted some days ago. a sentence on his tick tock account, he rode kits be scared. what we do know is that all victims got killed in one classroom and that the children have been between 9 and 10 years old networks here in the states now show pictures and caught parents who describe their children's as little angels and light of my life. um, so you know, feel, we have to be aware that this little town of, via, is very close to the mexican border. and all of the children who get killed are latino, so hispanic, so many of their parents or grandparents sacrifice a lot to came to the states so that their children could have

a better life. and now these dreams are dead killed by a night 18 year old. and it just seemed verted every couple of months. we seemed to hear about more of the shootings of the argument start about a gun control. but the dial doesn't seem to be shifting any, any, any, any closer towards controlling the number of guns on the street. right. i mean, the question about gun laws is one of the most divisive question here in the united states. you know that the right to bear weapons is so deeply ingrained in the identity of this country and, and on top of that is very powerful gun lobby, n r a, which is protecting this multi 1000000000 dollar business. you know, the enter is actually so powerful here in this country that they are able to prevent the cdc from doing studies on the effects of gun violence. they literally shut down scientific research. i mean, that tells you everything. all right, so,

so what is, what is their argument when people say, take these guns off the streets control their supply? what is, what is the argument that says no, we shouldn't do that despite all of the mass shootings. we keep saying, well, the texas senator, ted cruz is a good voice for that a immediately after the shooting. it says it's his state and it's the largest school shooting ever in texas. he didn't speak out for better background checks or other gun restriction. what he says is that we need more guns that people need to be able to defend himself is some than shoot them. he is asking for arm policeman in front of schools or to prevent shootings from that to happen. and i'm in phil. you know, that the shooter in this little town was able to be more than 30 minutes in the school. and i'm sure this will be water on the mills for those who ask exactly for

that, that even maybe teachers should be armed to protect themselves and their pupils and not to have less guns on the streets. it is pulled in washington. thank you. an association of women civil society groups is holding talks in germany to discuss how major events like the pandemic or the war in ukraine impact women and policy making. women 7th dialog opened in valeo. today's part of germany's presidency of the g. 7 group of advanced economists over the next few days delegates will come up with proposals on gender related violence, women's economic participation, and feminist orientated a foreign policy. so what is feminist foreign policy? i asked the guy and neurology and it, she's the director of the center for women, peace and security in london,

and founder and ceo of the international civil society action network. it's a very good question. thank you for having me. we're getting there. i think that there is a dimension of it, which is very basic, which is to say, this is about making sure that we had equality for women and girls alongside men and boys. that said, there is a day, there is an element i think, which is emerging in the german discussions today. and as part of the work that we've all been doing internationally, which is to say we're actually looking for transformational equality. we're not suggesting that we want you know, equality in the status quo. we're saying that if you have women present in the discussions, for example, on foreign policy piece and security. if you have a gender lens and how you do humanitarian assistance or development assistance or, or education policies and so forth, it is good for women, but it's also good for men. i'm part of the eminence lens and that was very strong today was we're talking about the fact that we should be putting more effort into

piece making and piece bill ling and, and demilitarization. and that certainly, as i say, of course the benefits are for women, but it's also about saying we don't want our boys and men having to experience war and trauma and be in killed or maimed or, or having to kill and maim. and, and that's part of the conversation that doesn't often come out and these are these discussions, but it's very much central to go to the discussions on famine. and i'd like to come to that. but 1st, i think it's important to do it for you to expand beside, be about a looking at politics. looking at policy making through agenda lens is good for everyone rather than just for women. so, for instance, with the pandemic, the presumption is that, but science and policy makers all looking at every one's interests. how would pandemic policy have been better? had there been a gen, did the aspect to policy making? well, so 1st of all, if we, we take a feminist lens and aj and

a and had the voices of women in the discussions broadly speaking. the 1st thing you would have heard from all of us is that we need our national security policy. these to have a human security lens. and if we bring it to the pandemic, that would have meant having more in terms of health care, in terms of masks and so forth. i, i lived in the united states to that process and, you know, there was, there was weaponry, there was money for the weapons and for drones and for nuclear had a drones. but we didn't have money for masks and, and p v, you know, the protective gear for a doctors or nurses and, and, and patients. so i think it was an interesting time. it is time. but just on that point, because it was interesting the united states example how mass became, is such a divisive issue where not so much for the rest of the world. you believe that vast is because of a lack of women in the decision making of the policy making rather than just red and blue choosing aside?

no, i think i, what i'm saying is, is that it, if you think about security and you said security is having weapons versus security is having safety for people, men and women in our society. and then you think about, what did we need during the pandemic? we needed protective gear, we needed food, we needed, we needed to and gender based violence. if you think about why was there so much violence in the homes across the world, there's a huge gender dimension to that was what was going on with men and society being stuck a home alongside, you know, women and, and, and kids. but it was, there was a lot of vile and lens by men perpetrated against women and children. why did that happen? what are the factors that led to that? and so there's a need for the protection of women. but there's also question, i'm trying to understand what goes on with men in our societies. what are the frustrations, what, what are the life skills they may need to learn to be able to cope with with, you know, with crisis basically. and so did take the, the brief look at the women in a policy making and pace. again, this is if,

if this is because of a lack of women in the room. so, i'll give you a good example of that. if africa and women had been in the discussions in doha, where the taliban do we think that the question of protection of civilians and communities, minorities, protection of women, would have been a major part of the discussions or not. i would guess that yes, it was because because we heard women saying that the fact that the discussions in afghan on afghanistan were heavily male dominated and women were actually stonewall and kept out. meant that the taliban got away with a lot of things and we resulted in the crisis that we have now, which again has an impact on men and boys alongside women and girls. so it, it's really about perspectives that we bring and, and it's very much around thinking about the needs of people. oh, i'm having a future, a lens on the future. what do we want for our children and our societies for our

boys on our girls, as opposed to thinking about it? you know, in many ways around power for me and i competition so. so i think there's a very different of conceptual framing when, when you have women in the space and there and, and, and bringing in the different perspectives. thank you for i'm only mazur. clearly america angelina from the center for women pace and security. british prime minister polish johnson is facing marketing pressure to resign, following the publication of a long awaited report into lockdown breaking gatherings at his offices. the report by a senior civil servant looked into 16 gatherings of the prime minister's official presidents, attended by the prime minister and his stuff. while the rest of the country was bumped from socializing. because of corona virus restrictions, it says a senior leadership must bear responsibility for cause a culture of wound breaking a 10 downing street. let's get more from d w correspondent to bergen mass in london. welcome burger. just talk us through

some of the reports main findings. there were interesting details, fill about a culture of alcohol, about a loud noise is so loud and other people in the building could not really focus on their work. one person was even sake, i'm say the picture emerges of quite wild parties there in downing street. but there was also more, more broader reflection on the whole culture. ah, and the criticism of leadership. if already alluded to that, that there was a failure of leadership and judgement is what the report concluded. and that some of these events should never have happened. and that they fall short of the highest standards of behavior that the british public should really expect from their leaders. so really not a pretty picture for prime minister boys johnson and his government and always was going on while the country was in lockdown. so what is the prime minister said?

the prime minister a gave a statement to parliament and he tried to come across, i think as somebody who was humble, he said he was humble. he apologized, but he really only apologized for rather small mistakes as he would have probably half put it. he said he had the was briefly at gatherings. ah, but that he couldn't have expected. he couldn't have known that they then turn into these are quite wild parties as it now has turned. i'd see he's also saying that changes have been implemented basically trying to move the agenda forward saying, i understand i shouldn't have done this, but mine was a minor role in all of this. i have acted. i have changed my, my, my staff, my, my, uh, my office, i've reorganized that. so let's move on. i think phil, we should have a listen. what exactly you said in parliament today. some of these gatherings then

went on far longer than was necessary, and they were clearly in breach of the rules and they felt follow the rules. i have to tell the house because the house will need to know this. and again, this is not to mitigate or to extenuating. i had no knowledge of those subsequent proceedings because i simply wasn't that. and i have been as surprised and disappointed as anyone else in this house, as the revelations have unfolded bugging mess. this is a prime minister who, who has survived other scandals, is this report from sue gray, likely to do him much damage this time. ah, that's release her to be waited upon phil. he, his approval ratings have fallen significantly since the so called party gate started. majority of british people now want him to resign. i've spoken to some of

the victims of cove, it a patient. so there are several campaign groups and one a one lady said to me, she wasn't there when her father died. she couldn't really have a funeral celebration of his life. she was unable to comfort him, nor where people really able to comfort her. and she said that voice johnson should resign. and this is how several of these of these campaign is of these victims really feel. however, it's really at the moment about how conservatives m p. 's feel and it's in their hands. what happens to prime minister bras? johnson, his clearly said to day that he's not intending to resign. if several conservative and peas raised out $54.00 of them have to express no confidence, then a process could be set in motion. whereas leadership is called into question. but at the moment we really don't see that it's going into that direction. okay. are
