[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, russian back rebels claim they've taken over a key town in eastern new crime. austria's fed up it's bombardment dom best aiming to encircle, defense forces and take control of ukraine's industrial heartland. also coming up,

leading industrial nations have set out ambitious new climate change goals. energy ministers meeting here in berlin, and to stop using coal to generate electricity by 2035 will hear from canada's representative at the top. plus, texas police under pressure over the elementary school massacre is grieving families, joint calls for strict a gun controls. there are questions over how long it took the emergency team to respond ah i'm asking how does good to happy with us? ukraine is wanting that russia is edging closer to surrounding its forces in its industrial hot land dumbass. the advance could be a turning point in rushes drive to tighten its grip on key eastern regions for a brush and separate aside. they have taken full control of the strategic town of lima,

ross and forces are also besieging the city of busy chance. you trans president vladimir lensky has accused moscow of carrying out genocide in dumbass my ins, right? this is what life in you cleans east looks like now. residence of the city of lucy, chance desperate to escape the constant shelling shelter here in this basement. why didn't you many here urgently need medical supplies, but traveling to get them is too risky. well, not only a kid, so my father suffered a stroke, and there are many others in these houses who need medication or dose of incremental. ukraine says the fighting in the east is fiercer than ever. with nearly all of the lu hans district underbrush and control some of those little shades of scrub, the situation remains difficult and is getting worse stringham, properly the enemy,

is using all its power and means to capture our territory and surround our troops in the fighting. has reached its maximum intensity to date you mister william. mister chromebooks among my infant son. wisdom. moscow has set of fights on gaining control of the dunbar. ukraine's industrial hot land russian troops attempting to encircle ukrainian forces by seizing t highways in the region. finishing the current offensive by russia in the dawn bus could make the region uninhabitable. putting pressure on russia is literally a matter of saving lives. and every day of delay weakness, debates or proposals to pacify the aggressor at the expense of the victim means more ukrainians killed. white g grange, ukraine says 50 towns and that each and came under shelling, poster which killed at least 9 people. for the reduction troops gaining ground

residents, he'll see no escape in sight with a correspondent, rebecca with his is in the town of barranca on the outskirts of the capital key by asked her whether the ukrainian government is acknowledging russian claims that things are not going wells for its forces in the east, they are anthony. in fact, sir, it is not something we've seen very often in this conflict that ukraine has said that they're, they're losing the battle, but they have authorities now saying that they have lost the upper hand, that russia has the upper hand in the dawn bass region. the governor villa. hans says that only 5 percent of that region which makes up half the don bass is under ukrainian control. and as you just heard in that report, rogers really gaining fast. bet you they had 10 were ukraine had 10 percent last week. now they have 5 percent and is looking very likely that russia is goodness of us around those cities, those sister cities of this a chance. and so sarah, several done net yet, can the last ukrainian held cities in that area. are you crying?

very worried about this and certainly calling for more weapons, a president lensky and the foreign minister really is sounding the alarm, saying that if we don't get more foreign weapons down there, we will lose this battle in the dunbar. so they, they are actually agreeing with those claims that russia has the upper hand from the outside looking in. it looks like a significant moment president lensky. he's nightly address struck a more ominous time on wednesday to that message that things aren't going well in the east. also land heavily with the ukrainians that you talk to definitely, antony, there's a really a feeling of worry and fear and i've spoken to some people that say we can't even think about the worst case scenario. this they're trying to remain positive. they still feel they still have hope that they will come out victorious at the end of this, but people are watching on what's happening in the east with great trepidation,

is this really could be a decisive moment. what happens in the don bass, if they are successful, it will be a fantastic morale boost for russia. and of course, are really, really tough moments. the ukraine to come to terms with in the russians will likely regroup and push on. we're already seeing that fighting has picked up, or at least missiles have hit harder cave again. now obviously, russian troops were pushed out of that city. and out of that region just recently, just last week and, and now we're seeing sort of more attempts to try and, and strike other cities also separation region and the pro. so, you know, it is a very tense moment and people are feeling that they're definitely looking on closely and, and hoping, hoping with all hope it might that things are going to pick up. but it certainly isn't looking very good for ukraine. right at the moment. if you still look good and i don't want to consider it pretty naturally, but what are conditions like right now for ukrainians in the dumbass already just die anthony. it's really hard to imagine what it must be like to be in that

region right now. i'm people basically living pretty much under ground. they've been living without utilities and electricity 1st for weeks already. so supplies are running out the food and humanitarian aid. it's getting much harder to get that humanitarian aid in. in fact, a few days ago, some humanitarian i'd was making it into the hands region, but you know, now it's getting more and more difficult as those roads are completely bombarded. and you know, the conditions in those areas, just from what we're hearing are really uninhabitable. presidents gonna zelinski saying what's happening down there is a genocide we're talking about places that are 60 percent completely destroyed and up to 95 percent of places are completely damaged. so just really a horrific same for, for the humanity, for that he, for the people living there. a correspondent rebecca britain's reporting from the town of but how the anchor near the capital, keith or to captured russian soldiers have pleaded guilty at the 2nd war crumbs

trial to be held in you grant that facing up to 12 years in prison for allegedly shelling civilian infrastructure, the case is just one of thousands that ukrainian authorities are currently investigating, and fresh evidence of warcraft is found every day. this report from d w max under contains images that some viewers could find distressing. deep inside the forest lies in anonymous grief. whoever chose this place didn't want anyone to find it. 2 months after the end of the russian occupation here, the body of a ukrainian man was on earth. his passport found here by the police say the death of the 56, your to billing is linked to the russian aggression. nothing unusual. these days the horde them. we found many with them and we will find more because a lot of people are missing. a lot of people died. so a lot of people who are buried a much a lot. the rules a call from the victims daughter is on the scene. she tells us her father went

missing on the 18th of march during the russian occupation snail. she wishes. i only know you won't down of his house and didn't return more. yeah, i think he went to feed the dog at the neighbor who had left. i didn't know where else he would have gone to lavish. thank you. miss gibbons, so far, clues are limited as to what happened to her father. his passport shows red stains on it, possibly blood, butcher hostile mill hairpin. these towns have become synonymous with russian war crimes. worth in the 1000 people were killed in boucher alone. a neighbouring her pin. the cemetery has changed in appearance with hundreds of freshly dug graves. to day streets in the area are lined with destroyed houses and shops. all over town, reminders of horrific acts of violence like these cars attacked with weapons of war

. so all the vehicles are see here are civilian vehicles that were used by people from boucher to try to flee from the russians and flee from the fighting. just like this vehicle over here, as we learned, it was struck in the back while trying to exit the town. it was hit by heavy machine gun fire. the bullets traveled through the entire car, hitting in the back. next thing at the fronts and killing at least one person inside, one of more than 3000 war crimes that are now being investigated. and the key of region alone, an arduous task. but authorities are making some gains. we know we have already fixed that. so we conduct versus from russia on the in key region that to where mentioned here in our church, and we don't so as it, so they went from special forces from russian federation. they came here, we have their names, their names, also even their families the default, but with them being out of reach of ukrainian authorities. what are the prospects of bringing these men to justice? but it's where they couldn't visit any come to where they have a possibility to be arrested. so anyway,

you know that if somewhere they will come intentional court and additional police officers and maybe to pull the final them and arrested. so we hope that they will find the punishment because they are guilty. so far, fewer than 50 alleged russian war criminals remain and ukrainian custody will satellite images have become one of the main sources of information about what is happening as the war unfolds in ye, crime, photos and videos taken from spice document key events on the ground and can provide vital evidence of atrocities. images like this one, showing the destruction of mario pole. a providing crucial insights into russia's war in ukraine. satellite technology has become a game changing tool in documenting atrocities. this is mary you pulled before the

russian invasion there. this is how the city looked afterwards merry, you pulls theater where hundreds of civilians were sheltering before a devastating air strike. the word children is written on the ground on either side of it. as this next image shows that did nothing to deter the attackers. these are just some examples of how satellite imagery often captured by commercial companies as helping investigators pinpoint what's happening on the ground. when russian troops withdrew from the city of boucher, near kiff, ukrainian forces discovered streets lined with the bodies of civilians. russia claimed these scenes were staged by ukraine after its troops had gone. but a satellite image showed what appeared to be bodies lying in the street nearly 2 weeks before the russians left the town. it showed how these pictures can also provide evidence of potential war crimes year, so called nick, what we have conclusive evidence, model, satellite images. and we can conduct

a finland transparent investigation. that is what we're interested in the maximum access for journalists, maximum cooperation with international institutions. involvement of the international criminal court, complete truth and full accountability. commercial satellites mean pictures like these showing what appears to be mass graves and now widely available. it's changing the way war crimes are investigated and could prove vital in ukraine's efforts to hold perpetrators to justice. so the next question is, how important are these satellite images in documenting potential war crimes in ukraine or earlier i asked our military analyst franklin, which well as far back as 1995 spaced asset satellites, known as military satellites, gave us the confirmation that certain forces of 70000 people and look at the same scale today. and now it's not only military satellites, civilian satellite,

so satellites, company companies that are doing that. and the evidence that they provide, as your report indicated, is, tends to be corroborative of reports have information other possible brought forward what they cost effective is an eye in the sky. they can identify units that can identify vehicles that can identify movement. and of course, they nailed down the time and space very closely for forensic purposes, so become brother of vital element. now in war crimes investigation. so they've investigated what has already happened, but in terms of revealing positions. how useful are these images for the boring parties when it comes to deciding military strategy of what's to come? the most important element now for, for ticket content mechanize will feel like this or any war phase what's called i star, which is essentially because not knowing what's going on the battlefield and what

the space the main allows you to do. now space to main. anthony is not is a whole arena of itself. it's growing importance. so what it can do for you is it can see, can tell you what's going on. visually an individual spectrum, you're looking at 10 or 5, sometimes even 5 centimeters resolution. you can just about recognize people from the way that they, they to pull themselves. and you can certainly recognize vehicles and other things like that. and you can even do it through cloud cover with what's called synthetic aperture. radar. not only that, of course you can watch all the vehicles and you can see we saw at the start of this war, how russia move absolutely track even by civilian assets, but military assets, far more capable. you've got military stuff like to bring up all the signals intelligence, you're also hearing what's going on. and finally, you can tell when rockets are being fired, what artillery lines where it's being fired and the, what's called measurement and signature intelligence. it's vital, not much more than it, it makes the whole battlefield transparent, essentially,

which is why that space domain is now so vital using that transparency. what do you see now? russia's attention is now focused on the don best region. what chance does the great army have defending their positions? they, when they appear to be outnumbered, dave knows what's coming for 7 years. i have absolutely no doubt that the city. so that's where the battery cable is taking place now, and this chance which is right next door are very heavily defended. we saw you credit is dated. my uncle that was not prepared for defense. what was fall through in 201450. it's going to be a long, hard summer for the ukrainians down there, provided they get the heavy weapons they need through. so it's not only a question of the west providing them. it's also a question of ukrainian logistics, getting them to the front, provided they can train their reinforcement and especially challenge russian dominance in artillery. they're already doing so the i think they can hold on, but it's going to be

a long hot summer. let's not forget ukrainian casualties like russians are extremely high. 5 and it's been reported. president salenti, i did a fairly bleak pitcher. it must be said yesterday. frank. one of those weapons which weapons in particular are going to help turn the tide when it sounds like everything for the moment is going and russians in the russian favor what they need above all is the creed of the battle field which is our calorie artillery. artillery, artillery, and not just the kind of straight up 2nd, mobile style artillery, cold war style or to russians have, but it's guided weapon, extremely accurate, precision, artillery. i suspect that's not coming through very fast. the crews need to be trained. it's new equipment, it's mostly western equipment. that's the key thing. also anti tank a perennial since the start of the war. those need to be fed to and i suspect they are. and finally, replacement tanks and vehicles going pretty heavy losses the ukrainians are taking and they're going to take

a while to get through. but if the west keeps on and prioritize is you credit is can hold on. i think through the summer military analyst, frankly, which thanks so much. thank you very much on to me. the g 7 climate change talks in berlin had ended with a commitment by the group to largely in fossil fuel use in electricity by 2035 or so. the invasion of ukraine pushed, facing out coal and introduction of renewable energy sources up the agenda with many countries, including germany, still dependent on russian co, oil and gas. the meeting accelerated partnerships to tackle climate change as well . mid german economy minister robert hubig drew attention to the why the need for environmental protection beyond energy use. storage is gordon. thus, it's become clear that climate protection is not only an industrial or energy issue, but that the vulnerability of ecological resources to your sions, coral soil,

degradation must be considered together with the efforts way, making to save the climate, and slow down global warming young spies, a debt of amazon. i'm so crimson, or we can talk now with canadian minister of natural resources. jonathan wilkinson is joining us from a j 7 summit in berlin. thanks for taking the time minister. the g 7 energy and climate ministers have agreed to phase out coal in the energy sector at when could we see a complete vice out of cold use? do you think? well, i mean, the focus is a phasing it out as quickly as possible. i think the focus for, for many of us is by the end of 2030 or by 2030 am. you know, canada and united kingdom have been leading for the past number of years. what's called the power pass full alliance. and that really is focus on getting us off goal by 2030, which is a critical 1st step to achieving the paris climate goals. it seems like a big asterix, though, the war. how much of an impact is the war in ye grind?

having on these time launch these aggressive time lines like 20 said well, i, in a strange way. i don't think it's actually having a big impact on the timelines. and what we're seeing is, in the short term a real desire to displace russian oil and gas for sure and, and looking to countries like canada and united states to help with that. but, but it's also really got everybody focus on accelerating the transition to renewables. and hydrogen, and moving as quickly as we possibly can. i think that the interesting thing that came out of the conversations at the g 7 were how inextricably linked the energy security and the climate issues are. and we need to make progress in order to address both and how easy is that message to sell that security is linked to renewables, and that's the reason we must accelerate. well, i mean, looked at that the dependence on russian oil and gas that europe is feeling right now, clearly is an energy security issue. it is also

a climate issue as we have to move away from the combustion of hydrocarbon resources. and so the way in which to, for europe to enhance its domestic energy security is to produce much more of its energy resources domestically through the deployment of renewables. and to look to source a clean, a clean sources of energy like hydrogen, from stable democratic countries like canada, europe wants to end its reliance on russian gas pretty clearly at canada could help fill the gap and start supplying natural gas to ag countries. how are you going to square your obligations to with us to limit global warming? is it possible those 2 things can happen concurrently? well, i think it is i and we are looking at that and we are talking to, to the government of germany, but also the european union about that. either there's a couple things that you need to do to ensure that you are making progress consistent with your climate commitments. one is to ensure that domestic emissions associated with the production of allen g r low. so ensuring that, for example,

you're using electricity as part of the process to create the liquid natural gas. but you also have to look at your displacing russian natural gas. so you're not actually creating any more emissions in the use of natural gas. but you also have to have a view about how you will transition those facilities to producing hydrogen down the road. and which is where we all need to get to. we need to get the point where we are not burning natural gas. we are not burning oil, we're actually using clean fuels like hydrogen. and so that is exactly the conversation that we've been having with germany. i'm with european union. the other coma session relates to the poorest and most vulnerable who will be the brunt of climate change minister? why aren't j 7 countries doing more to protect them? well, i mean there's, there's a whole range of issues implied in the question. i mean, the 1st and foremost commitment that the developed world made was to catalyze that the of the collection of a $100000000000.00 a year that would be used to help developing countries to both mitigate and adapt

to the impacts of climate change. at the most recent cop in glasgow, actually, germany and canada led the, the work to ensure that we actually were going to get to the 100000000000 dollar number and, and we, we are on track to get there by next year. but of course, we're also going to have to look at issues around the damage that is being caused in the developing world and how we can work together to ensure that we are actually proactively trying to ensure that we're addressing that going forward. you know, it is, it is absolutely the case that the countries that are the least responsible for the climate crisis are the ones that are paying the most canadian natural resources minutes that johnson wilkinson. we appreciate your time. thanks. thank you very much. we'll place in texas are facing criticism of how long it took them to respond to an elementary school shooting that killed 19 children. and 2, she teaches offices, shot dead. the attack had nearly an hour after he began the rampage. the massacre and you, val day, has re ignited the bite of

a gun control in the united states. they w stephens, ye months reports you well, the texas surrounded by corn farms and kettle ranchers just about 85 kilometers from the u. s. border with mexico. the small town in the south of the lone star state has become a household name for most americans. recently for all the wrong reasons. a few days ago the world was turned on its head for this type of community. when an 18 year old gunman stormed into rob elementary school, telling 19 students and 2 teachers i heard say really hurts or where are her. we never thought this would happen. here is just a little small town. everybody is pain streaking fields paralyzed and is in the state of emotional shock. even her children can feel the pain. jeriso says they see me crying, they asked me, why do i cry? and i go because i don't know what i would do without them. and i know it hurts to

see other parents what they're going through. it literally does it hurt and i, man, i can't sleep. i can sleep at night knowing that those children went to school thinking that they were safe after almost no communication to the public then to the media, the police. finally, days after the massacre and rob elementary school came out with more information about the timeline about what had happened here. the teenage shooter enters the elementary school through an unlocked door guns blazing. 4 minutes later, local police departments are inside. make an entry. they hear gunfire, they take rouse, they move back, get cover. the officers pinned down called for help and help arrives. but only late, too late, many se, approximately an hour later. you as orbital, tactical teams arrive, they make entry, shoot and kill the suspect. despite the many unanswered questions,

the parents and loved ones of those who died still half despite the grief and pain they and the whole town feuds right now, many hear speak up demanding tighter gun control measures are laws at the be more strict are is too easy here to get a gun after support background checks, and alyssa longer process than to get the rifles or any any pistols. it's too easy here to get a gun. just across the street from another makeshift memorial for the victims of america's latest mass shooting. this school years top 10 performing high school students are property displayed in front of city hall, almost as if nothing had happened at all in you've all the texas. well, the world of electronic music has lost one of its pioneers and he, fletcher keyboard player for the british band. the pitch mode has taught. at the age of 60, fletcher was a founding member of the group formed in the late 19 seventy's and helped
