services, oh, be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by frappe, bought, ah ah, ah, ah, this is dw news live from berlin, russia stepping up, it's offensive on ukraine's don't bass region. the gradient president zalinski accusing moscow of trying to destroy everything in the region. also coming up to night following the deadly of school shooting in the us at a decade. the governor of texas now faces accusations of doing nothing on gun

control. ah, i'm burned, gone to our viewers watching on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin tonight with the war in ukraine and russia upping its attacks on the eastern don't bass region. heavy fighting has been reported in and around the industrial city of several don't ask. that's where the regional governor says at least a dozen people have been killed in shelling. moscow says that it will continue. it's offensive until it achieves it's go. it's the battle faced the vera don't ask. it's capture would allow russia to advance into the other half of the don bass region with the shelling is constant. some 15000 people are believed to be hiding in shelters.

to help, you know, is her 1st edition. second, lateral goes, it was a good 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 lake. now, it seems like the fungus around, it's practically surrounded that we can see trucks from the army being being the fluids around the scene. so it seems likely that to me, it's about the 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. i asked our correspondent, rebecca rivers about the situation in the dawn bash reach. well, you heard some of it there, brand some in the situation in. don bass is daya and it's getting worse because the governor of don yet sc saying that 3 cities in that region have now been taken by the russian forces and that they are advancing. the governor of lou hans square that sits ever done yet is situated and now where the fighting is centered around. they're saying that the russians are just trying to destroy that city. it's. it's been completely shelled, constantly bombarded. and as you heard in that report saying that citizens who haven't escaped yet who haven't been able to evacuate,

it's probably too late to do so with many of the roads completely cut off. and those that are still available still open being continually shelled. so it's just a really terrible and terrifying situation. there authorities here and you can hear in ukraine saying that that battle for don bass is really, is really going to be really instrumental in what happens in this country. could really feel a fight of this country. the foreign ministers saying that this is the worst battle that europe has seen since world war 2. and he's really urgently calling for those foreign weapons that have been promised to ukraine to be delivered as swiftly as possible so that they're able to try and hope this current advance and even try and push back russians from these areas. and we're beginning to, we've been in this war now for more than 3 months. what about people bear where you are in the ukrainian capital kiva? how are they coping with what's happening around school? it is quite a different scene here. obviously

a branch i've just returned to ukraine from a couple of weeks out of the country. and even in the time i've been gone, the city does feel different here where i am of the weather has changed. spring is in the air, and there are more shops and cafes open more people out on the streets, but that belies the danger. and, and the fear that still felt by many people here. and of course, people, you know, the war is on the tip of every one's tongue. it's all that anybody's talking about . and people are really worried. the war is only happening, a few 100 kilometers away. and it's certainly not something that people hear forgetting the country still under martial law. are there still a curfew? and the sound of sirens can still be heard. the threat of possible missiles he is still ever present, but that immediate danger not being felt quite like it was a few weeks ago. but that feeling that we ukraine will come out victorious and will win, is still ever present among the people that you speak to. you did abuse rebecca rid of the ladies tonight from keith has always rebecca, thank you. the european union is moving to confiscate and sil,

rather than simply freeze the assets of russian. oligarchs uses that russian assets worth. 10000000000 euros have already been frozen in the said, the money gained by confiscating the asset could be used to help rebuild ukraine. but some members of the european union, including germany, are skeptical the villa fresh and ali gar, i'll is sherise manners being seized by italy's financial police on the island of said in yap. listen enough is a billionaire and close ally a fresh president vladimir putin. he's only one of hundreds of ali gars that the european union has slapped were sanctions since russia invaded ukraine. at the moment, it's difficult to confiscate luxury acids. select this in the year, but the ear commission, the ears executive farm, wants to change that level. as us will be confiscated, if a link to criminal activity can be proven under the proposed legislation evading

either sanctions, for example, by transferring acids to family members could become illegal at some say, this won't hurt the russian economy. i think that this is done in morrow, a symbolic her with a symbol, with a symbolic reason, to try and explain that. you know? no, you will be seized if you are outside your jurisdiction. the ears as the russian assets worth, 10000000000 euros have been 1st in the block. rascals wants to use this money to help to rebuild ukraine. but that's easier said than done in some countries like germany, this would collide with private property laws. there are a guarantees form private assets in our constitution in our own based order. and we have very, very precise to consider what we are doing when we

are bullish. these guarantees for a private sector assets. if the law is passed, ration oligarchy would have a much harder time getting their hands on their villas again. and here is a quick round up of some more of the stories related to this war. vladimir putin has visited wounded soldiers at a military hospital in moscow. the kremlin released this footage, the 1st showing put in with wounded troops since the war began. western military analysts estimate that up to 15000 russian soldiers have been killed in the fighting. representatives from sweden and finland have held high level talks with turkey. they want to convince turkish president heir to one to end his opposition to their nato membership bit. heir to one has accused finland and sweden of supporting groups that his government views to be tears a day after the deadly of school shooting the u. s. have seen the decade accusations and anger,

or on display of the shooting took place in a small town in southern texas to day that states governor gave a contentious news conference. ticklish sit down, you're out of your out of line, and it embarrasses. after i governor greg abbott was interrupted by his democratic rival. better a war who accused habit of doing nothing to address gun violence. on tuesday, an 18 year old gunman barricaded himself inside the classroom. at an elementary school, he shot dead 19 children and 2 teachers. he was later killed in a shootout with beliefs with grief tourney to anger as the country reels from yet another mass shooting americans are again confronting the question. what can be done to stop this gun by grieving family members waiting to know if their kid survived?

we can get anything we can get any anything as little as their okay. they're not okay. or we're still waiting or you know, no, no information has been released to any of the parents here. they have alyssa for her name in here. so she not here. so room it on down on the news antonia, to where 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 valley are still trying to process the tragedy. britain, i heard, i just didn't ever expect anything like that to happen here. with men, person that did it with one device. 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 devil. it is families that are out there. i'm so tired of scuse me, i'm sorry, i'm tired of moments of silence. enough is gun control. it's back in the political debate. the people of, of the gather to more in after the deadly mass shooting something far too many families and friends have to go through in the u. s. which oh to me now is jake charles, he is the executive director at the center for fire arms law at duke university of the u. s. state of north carolina. he writes and teaches on the u. s. second amendment and the right to bear arms for all americans. mr. charles, it's good to have you on the program. you know, people around the world are looking at this and what they see is

a crime. a man with a gun goes in and guns down children, teachers. but when we hear from you s lawmakers, they always bring up the idea that any attempt to control who can own a gun would be an infringement of constitutional rights. can you explain how was that possible? right, absolutely. so a couple of things. one is that the u. s. second amendment. it was ratified in 1791 and it played almost no role in american history for about 200 years. in 2008, the united states supreme court said it protects an individual right. i'm connected to service in a militia. the introductory clause of our 2nd amendment talks about a well regulated militia, but the court said it's unconnected to that. and it's actually primary purpose is for self defense. and really what we've seen is proponents of broad and expansive gun rights have latched onto this self defense explanation of the right to keep and bear arms. and that many states,

including taxes have loosened to their gun gun laws just in the last few years. and so what we see is gun laws becoming looser and even after a tragic, mastered events like this. at the same time, the supreme court has said that although. busy the 2nd amendment protects an individual, right. it leads lots of rooms for legislators to enact gun regulations, and we just have not seen congress or the states and acting many of those regulations. we heard from you as president by yesterday, basically telling the country we need to find our backbone here. we need to pass legislation for better since we're going to control all the polls show that the vast majority of americans are in favor of background checks. for example, for people who want to buy fire arms and yet that is the very legislation that is always shot down in the us congress. what is happening here is this, is this the gun lobby controlling congress in the will of the people being ignored?

it's really hard to know exactly why really some popular measures, including background checks are not being passed at the national level, especially. there's a couple of explanations. one, as you mentioned, the national rifle association is very powerful, is mobilizing an activating voters for whom gun rights issues are their number one issue. and some of them are single issue voters on that one issue. a lot of it has to do with political polarization, that the parties are the 2 parties in united states or to so far apart on issues that there becomes a lot less room to compromise. and some of it was with structural features about the united states congress, where there are 2 members from each state in the united states senate no matter what size state that is, that stops a lot of the measures that would gain a large national popularity like universal background checks don't actually translate into legislation. i was reading today,

just the statistics are about the number of fire arms and guns in the world in the united states. there are enough fire arms for every american citizen to possess one and then there would be $60.00 to $70000000.00 extra to go around with so many weapons like that, just in circulation in the country. is it realistic to expect that legislation will ever be able to address this problem? that's right. there are about 400000000 private firearms owned in the united states now, which is a dramatic increase even from recent times and us history. and so one of the arguments that i think is a good one that you're raising is that restrictions on the supply of firearms might actually not do anything where we could stop the sale of all private firearms united states tomorrow. and we would still have more firearms and we have people in the united states. so legislation that looks not specifically at those restrictions on supply. but on identifying the people. busy who are most at risk of violence and

providing different resources, or in some cases, temporarily removing the guns from those people has shown promise in some places. and we've actually seen some bipartisan on efforts at the state level where states have enacted laws, often called red flag laws that allow someone to go into court and get an order. busy to temporarily remove someone's firearm. when that person is shown to be a risk of imminent harm to themselves or others, you know, it needs to be see if we could do anything like that on a federal level being put into legislation, jake charles, executive director of the center for fire arms law, at duke university. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks out me. police and pakistan have clashed with supporters of alfred prime minister in ron con, in an effort to stop a planned rally. cotton has been leading a convoy of his followers to the capital islam abad, in hopes of toppling the new government. and he wants to force early elections

election called to the caea that the coalition currently ruling pakistan accuses con, of spreading chaos at a time when the country faces crippling debt. and soaring, inflation and frustration is growing across the political divide at pakistan's political and economic plight. interlink of fuel prices have hit a record high. that's not the news that people want to hear their countries 22000000 people already going through the worst economic crisis since independence, according to local reports, shalaka has pretty much run out of fuel. now, for many people, the drop in supply is turning every day. living into a battle for survival, dw, nearer to dory reports. oh, since the fuel shortage has started in sri lanka, it's made it difficult to find feel so i have stayed with for 3 weeks and it's

really hard to run my day to day life. even if i have to get fuel, i have to stay the whole night. i feel better if it stays in. so i have, i mean they're not on them. they're like, nope, it's earlier. and because of the fuel, to be honest, i didn't get that in this. i was like, staying in the queue for the whole week to get like if i get picked up today or tomorrow, tomorrow from the day and day after tomorrow to stay in the queue. again, because of that reason, so i have to in, we skip monday to stay in the queue. i will be loosing passengers for the one. no, they don't get burned. and yeah, that's a big loss for me. is that the only price that's going i really had a bad so it made me leave the vendors on the phone to price everything

and say longest go on hey, the prices are normally like everyday we used to buy bread to have the tea in the evening the price of the has been me doing t lake me you straight before you know sometimes i, i stop at my 1st place. i think i was more said so he saw auto driver. i have plenty of friends that will drive auto you and get their place because they couldn't find feel right now at my house. i think i was annoyed. so costa. so this one really end up the kiddos in medicine willows. they end up doing woods like im haven't done engineering and it's hard to find a job. i have and get my degree it because i have a pending payment to be done. uh huh. so i thought i couldn't afford my money

auto. and since this problem has been come up, it's very difficult for me to pay it, of course fees. some of my friends like they lever what's out in the patrol station like if they see and if it process and bumping better, then quickly inform us the automated get to get then lo and stay in the queue to get better. i have come here to bump it says my pen gave me some theory and that wouldn't be enough for me that i'm the whole day. and i may have blocked my order there. i think i left to wait the whole night to get there. if i'm lucky, i'll get the feeling by tomorrow morning. i never thought that microphone cleveland up make me break nowadays. you know, there will be a few things here, like i'd like to take some time for the country to recover. it's

a quick round up now. some of the stories that are connected to the war are not connected to the self to re, as military says that north korea is fired. 3 ballistic missile is apparently in preparation for pyongyang 7th nuclear test on a trip to asia. earlier this week, us president joe biden called for new measures to deter north korea. authorities in burkina faso say that rescuers have found the body of 4 of the 8 miners who have been missing since mid april. contact was lost with the men after their mind flooded rescue teams have been pumping water out of the mind for weeks. now. british prime minister boys johnson is facing mounting pressure after the publication of a report into a series of walked down, breaking parties in his office is known as party gate. the report says that leadership must bear responsibility for what happens and it comes as new photos have emerged of alcohol fuelled gatherings at downing street during the walk down

the war in ukraine has been front and center at this year's can film festival currently underway in the south of france and today was no exception with the filmmakers behind the ukrainian entree, butterfly vision using their appearance to display an anti russian protest band. it's the story of a female fighter lillia, a ukrainian soldier. after 2 months as a russian prisoner, she is released. while in jail, she had repeatedly rape my wife a lot. now the question is, how will she ever find peace again? especially when she later finds out that she's pregnant. ah, it's a feature film debut of ukrainian director mac seemed not connection because it's

a story of survival. it's a story of a will to survive and to keep standing and fighting. and i hope it would make its contribution into our general survival standing and fighting as ukraine. filming started at the beginning of last year in dawn bus were fighting, had been going on for years before the major russian attack there earlier this year . for the fictional story they were producing, turned into reality was with all the horrors of a war whose end is not in sight, far more thought of than sicily. our general and the cultural identity in particular is under attack. and that's why each case of ukrainian culture being successful, being presented, being a loud and noticed this is, is a part of us still being alive and presenting the film here in con,

also shows that the war affects everyone, including those on the red carpet at a glamorous film festival and finally, to something that we all struggle with deadlines, they're generally dreaded, but they're a necessary part of life. and it's difficult to push through procrastination sometimes without deadlines but a cafe in japan. have sit out to help people do just their ever try to rushing to meet a deadline and hating yourself with doing so. now here's the solution for procrastinators, the manuscript writing cafe in toe, kill office illustrators, or anyone else with a to do list comp pay alif until their work is done. it's giving those haunted by unfinished business. a much needed push.

yeah, my goal is to write 3 blog articles today and i'll do my best to achieve that on like 3 hours later, she made it oh, how do i do? good. i, i finished about 80 percent of book. i think it's good to be able to concentrate on writing the articles without doing other unnecessary things. here's the concept. as soon as they entered a cafe customers must write down their work goals. the cafe staff would then check in on their progress. sometimes their presence alone is pressure enough. it blew out, it went viral on social media and people are saying that the rules are scary or that it feels like you're being watched from behind. but actually instead of monitoring customers, i'm here to support that. you'll see the cafe must meant to be an entertainment venue. but a pandemic driven alcohol band forced the owner to rethink everything. now he says,

beating procrastination has become his new purpose. oh no, i don't care the cars on which customers have written their work goals. i don't know what kind of work might be born here, but i am proud that i was able to offer my support. so that scripts that were written here could be published to the world. upon completion, customers get a stand on their goal cart. that's when they can walk on the streets again with a sense of achievement. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day to night. the uniquely american nightmare of gun violence. ah ah with

ah ah ah an expressway, through the city of the doomed cairo's gridlock is now threatening the city's oldest cemetary. it's reckless urban planning. the cemetery is home to families. you can't afford with what will happen to it's

residence, global 3000. in 60 minutes on d, w. o, one of these kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach ah, what is it really is possible to reverse aging researchers and scientists all over the world are in a race against time. the d. n. a molecule though has 28000000 different powered glasses. they are peers and

rivals with one daring goal to outsmart nature for a longer, healthier and fuller life. one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind down the hatch. more life starts may 28th on d, w. americans make up just 4 percent of the world's population. yet americans own almost half of all civilian fire arms on the planet between january 1st and to day. that's a $145.00 days. there have been 212 mass shootings in the united states. now do the math. that's almost one and a half every day.
