rushes war shows that the world's democracies need to work together to confront global threats. like climate change and food security. they said on that seo, our goal is crystal clear in putin must not win this war on the community. and i am convinced that he will not win it. and yes, even now he has failed to meet any of his strategic goals. i nominate because i'm russia capturing, one of ukraine seems less likely now than he did at the start of the war. thanks. not least remarkable, defense put up by the ukrainian army and people, ukraine is now emphasizing this european future. and more than ever before, or pierce or to com. all right, well let's get some more analysis from our very own d, w critical, corresponding julius of delhi. he's here with me in studio julia. now. german chancellor shows addressed a whole range of topics in his speech. what sort of the most for you? well, the warren ukraine was an overarching theme at the forum this year. and obviously

the chancellor also addressed it at the beginning of his speech and he and he wanted to put forward the message of how much of a turning point the war has been for germany and germany's policy. for one. he highlighted the fact that it's the 1st time that germany is delivering weapons to a country involved in a conflict. and also he reminded his audience that germany has approved up to 100000000000 euros to invest in the military. something that had not been done in recent years, and this comes to show how much of a change and a shift in policy we've seen with in germany. but he also spoke about broader issues, for example, shows his vision of a multi polar world. and that it's not just some powers that are dominating the discourse and will dominate the discourse in the coming years. but how new

countries will come to have more relevance in the world, the economy, and in the world policy? to tell us a little bit more about what he was talking a lot about ukraine and how germany has changed. germany has received a lot of criticism. am in the past few months with regards to their policies in ukraine. was this sort of a way of dealing with that criticism. in part it was here, he highlighted how germany is working together with its partners. for example, nato allies to come together and have a confirm concerted effort in trying to help you crane. but also at the same time trying not to upset or provoke russia not to become a party in this war. and germany has been criticized also from ukraine, directly of not doing enough to support the country, especially in terms of delivering rep weapons. we've heard that also at the forum, but shows that not really addressed that directly. so i don't see the ukranian side

really being satisfied with what he said today. julia briefly, if you could, how significant is it that he close to so much? so he was the only a g 7 leader to be present at the summit this year. and it's the 1st time that he is there in person as the german chancellor. and he was there to set the agenda of his government for the coming the coming years. it's the 1st time the chancellor is there for germany. that is not, i'm going american in quite a long time and looking at how a broad scope he had in his speech, it seems like he wants to show that germany is ready to play a leading role in the world. did of you political correspondent, you've? yes, and then he thank you. russia continues to pound you cranes, eastern don, boss region. it's aiming to take the industrial heartland. after failing to capture the ukrainian capital, keith. moscow says it will continue the offensive until it achieves its gold.

ukrainian forces are doing their best to push back russian troops despite heavy shelling in this village now back in ukrainian hands. residents tell of their fears as the russians arrived, but i don't think you can we try to keep out of the way with yeah, well, maybe we should go back to the basement. she says that a little bit as a team of associated press film, russian artillery, keep up the bombardment along the road. more evidence of the fighting rushes objective is to cease to don best provinces done yet in the hands in the east. at least 12 people were killed by shilling as heavy fighting continues in and

around civil war. the next the local governor says the russians have taken 3 towns in the genetic region. russian troops are gaining ground in the east. these are frontline positions now abandoned by ukraine, but further away from the fighting in areas where the ukrainians have regained control residence are determined to start over. over the 3rd boy that other people are returning home even though it's safer to await further away. but it's easier to teach us who was personally miss. so who devoted her to the suite, the me, people are coming back to their houses and starting to rebuild the helping our military new school. what we asked the battle for done best intensifies, many more lives will be lost. russian forces are bombarding

the twin cities of civil done at scanned lacey shanks. i asked are correspond, mathias billing or who is in eastern ukraine? why these places are so significant? well this city is actually has been shelled for a long time now. it's surrounded from 3 sides by the russian army inside the city. the ukrainian army is holding, but it's becoming increasingly more difficult as the main bridge leading into the city that side that is not a way it's not surrounded is a river actually, and this bridge has been blown up and every few smaller, one smaller bridge actually that leads into the city, so it's very difficult to get supplies. their water and electricity are down in the city and jermel by signal as well. the same is true for the says to city that lies on the other side of the address river. this, it shuns, most of the cities have been cut off,

electricity and water drinking water needs to be brought there. and the main danger is now that the road that leads into these 2 cities into less a chance can then by a smaller bridge into a smaller than it might be, count fighting has been intense along the main road going in there. and the russians have even been on that road, but then they have been ford back. but it's very dangerous to drive their cars that take this road are being regularly. sheldon evacuations are only possible in armored vehicles, so it's a very tough situation. there's one other road, but it's small. it doesn't have the same capacity as, as, as this one. so the danger is, of course, that those 2 cities will end up being completely surrounded and then we would await a we would see probably something like in mary you for where a whole city is including the residence, remain there more than $30000.00 people in the 2 cities where these residents would be trapped together with the military trying to fight them off being shelled,

constantly. now at presidents the landscape refuses to give up any ukrainian territory, some no concessions spokane ukrainian forces hold on to the east of the country. while the ukrainian or forces are holding many positions here. so every day we get reports that 10 attacks by the russians. for example, have been fought back, but an 11th attack does succeed. and if that continues over long period of time, there are significant games. so this is not an easy game for the russians if they're not easily taking any positions, but they have a lot of firepower, a lot of artillery and they keep selling these positions have been keeping selling these positions for 3 months. ukraine. aah! has said several times, and they need more, tillery, i'm, they are getting a tillery from the western partners from the u. s. notably the m 777. how it says, for example, are very useful for them, but it doesn't seem to be enough at the moment. did you correspond mateus putting

in from a tourist can eastern ukraine. thank you. the united nations estimates that nearly 7000000 ukrainians have left their homeland since the invasion. over half a 1000000 of them have come to germany. we went to meet a mother and her daughter who were now staying with a host family here in berlin. shenise, north east of keith. after month of heavy russian, selling much of the city is destroyed. it is anna and such as hometown. in march, the mother and daughter flat to berlin, but their thoughts are still with their family and friends in ukraine. anyway, the yoga thought, i said, my friends stayed and sion if i my classmates were i can't bear the thought that they did not have the chance to escape even though they wanted to. i tell you, but it's terrifying. what

drives and even though i'm doing well here, it's hard because i can't help them. beckon ukraine and i was finishing up high school. sasha walked in a cool center than the attack started. now they live with mountain and cornelia young english. he's an entrepreneur, she's a doctor. the couple drove to the polish ukrainian border to help any refugees and take them to germany. here and there and susan's it's honestly, humans are social beings. if someone folds down next to you, you bent down and picked them up again. it's completely natural for the services to day. and then sasha, at the social welfare office of like all ukrainian refugees and germany, they can apply for financial aid. to day they received their fast monthly payment, $350.00 euros each when women's fiddler's neck, and we want to save up and send some money to grandmother so she can prepare her

roof, the skin, which was destroyed in the wool. but needless anon, sasha want to integrate quickly. they have signed up for a german language course. a charge congregation organizes it for free hub in between. but do you have children? we have been i am 2 children. if the, if you go a bud, it's okay with, oh yes, we wouldn't. we want to start until monday. i play at them. so basically a, that's why with my new, with the mother and daughter, i slowly finding that bearings in berlin. and i could even imagine studying in germany. and last i want the all to come back to ukraine to see my family members.

but i think about leaving in german of my life. yeah. and if don't both of us, if the book i'm too old to completely overturn my former life, or my relatives on ukraine and my house to go, i want on that to decide for herself whether she wants to st. germany over time to ukraine. little, but i want to go home some day. you live there, most of the i yuk at celebrate dental to them. what bullshit. but at the moment, they have no idea how long that will take. doctor, 3 better, resumed political activists have been awarded this year's charlemagne prize. the award recognizes contributions to european unity with lana tihano sky, maria colas, the cova and veronica et cetera. carlo are being recognized for their struggle against about a reese's authoritarian regime and their work to promote freedom and democracy. they teamed up in 2020, to try to unseat better races. long time leader. he can oscar run for president and

w. brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena is at the venue and we asked her for the winners reactions. well, during the ceremony that well held right behind me in the town hall of ahem. the 3 on the rece made clear how on earth they are to receive the prize. of course one of them, maria, close the cover. it's in jail in viola ruth and was represented here by her sister, but on the re said that they believe that this price is a fine and evidence that europe and in particular germany has not forgotten their fight. and sir, as he atlanta you cannot sca told us that she was dedicated, dedicating this price to all the people of bella, ruth, to those who are still in jail, who that kids who are waiting for their parents for the, for the many to them. many people of viola ruth who had to leave their country as she did. and she also called on all you appear in citizens and their politicians to

we know that location, close the close ally of food and that russia stations, there are troops there. so you cannot square said at that only if we bill a roof could help or improve the situation than to without a freebie or low roof. there will be a constant threat to ukraine in other european nations. and she also made clear that the bill i was some people are standing with crane. many of them fired together with the ukrainian soldiers answer. some of them were even according to reports, responsible for carrying out a several to acts of sabotage against the russian troops. deed of you, brussels bureau chief, alexander, phenomena in ark and forth, thank you. and coming up before our next news bulletin, alexander will have the full and exclusive interview with batteries in opposition. leaders, whether it's fred lana, he cannot sky

a. so stay tuned for that. the tax and town of val day has held a vigil to honor the victims of the latest school massacre in the us. 21 people were killed in cheese days, mash, shooting most of them young children. the killing service once again highlighted the device of issue of gun control in the united states. 6 the town of you valley is mourning the loss of their loved ones. 19 children and 2 d jose 21 lives that were needlessly cut short that i didn't have community is the latest in the u. s. to be devastated by gun violence. but texas governor greg abbott believes mental health not access to guns is the real issue. we as a state, we as a society, neither do a better job with mental health. anybody who shoots somebody else has

a mental health challenge period. we have, we, as a government need to find a way to target that mental health challenge and do something about it. democratic be total row was vying to be the next governor of texas in an upcoming election, publicly confronted reg, i. but during his press conference, he accused the republican of being responsible for the killings my liberalizing state gun laws. are the question. all you need to ask him is why does he want violent criminals to be able to carry guns on our streets? go go, ask him that he has not had to answer for any of this. and he gets by with this theater on calling it out. i came here to call it out to stop this. because if we don't stop it, it will continue to happen. despite the political arguments, families of the victims have little faith that things will change. and as always

happens in the small town, nobody expects anything bad to happen and then it happens and everybody wants to make changes to prevent it from happening. and then it dies down a little bit and then happens again. and there were just this cycle. i just want my baby home, i don't care a oh but even as people across the us and around the world express grief and sympathy, if you believe that this will be the last such tragedy. oh steve, you correspondence stefan simons is at the scene of the shooting force and we asked him how the city of a val day in texas is coping with this tragedy. hers not

a coping very well actually served wounds are of course a to freshen. if you look at the right of your screen right behind me, you see those crosses, bearing all the names of all the witness itself, all the victims. pardon the 21 of them, of course most as you said, 19 of them children 10 years old and younger. so yes, we were at the vigil yesterday, which was mentioned in the, in the report. and of course that was a very tearful job. fair. so to speak, with texas governor there with preachers, their pastors from all kinds of domination, trying to give comfort to the people. and that to some degree of course works. but however shock trauma, frustration and, and disbelief and hurt and pain are sitting deep in this community. and they will, for a foreseeable future. stephanie, the massacre has yet again pushed the issue of gun control to the top of the

political agenda in the us. but has there been any willingness to tightened the law as by those opposed to strict, are gone controls? like you see the debate about gun control, gun rides, gun control more restrictions. red flag losses at raw is as old as i am here, standing here and on other occasions, marking those sad incidents where somebody a vice assault rifles or, or some kind of gun and most down children or other people for whatever reason. so there is no change in the lines, there's 500000000 weapons in private hands in the united states. and there is 2 kind of crowds who are still fighting it out. and on a political level on the state, on the federal level, on every level, community level to the one i say we need more guns to protect also from to prevent

this from happening. the other said, i know we need less guns. we need more restrictions. is that right there is a overwhelming majority actually in of americans who want one or another restriction, nobody wants to change the constitution. nobody wants to ignore this 2nd amendment that guarantees the americans to bear the right to bear, to have the right to bear arms. but restrictions, there's about 80 percent of americans in the latest fall, se, like they are for more gun control. now, how to implement this, this is where the politicians come in. and this is where there is no movement an expert, say in a pundits and everybody else who is reported or knows a little bit about gun rights. and then i says nothing's gonna change unfortunately . stefan simons in evolving texas. thank you. the ukranian film butterfly vision has premiered at the cannes film festival. it was shot and don boss almost a year before russia's invasion of ukraine. and it tells the story of a young ukrainian soldier captured and raped by russian troops. a fiction that
