like the opaque world who's behind benefits and why are they a threat to whistle peak world this week on d w? ah, this is d w why from, by and ukraine's president says a face of the country is now under russian control. thought of me as a landscape comments covers the west promises more weapons to cave and russian forces edge close to capturing the key east and city of severe done yet. also on the program. we b cranium volunteers, defending

a village close to the front line and here what it's like to live in the line of rushing fire. it makes you another confession to hon. great. in an effort to pass like to sanctions package against russia, the block will drop the head of the russian orthodox church from its proposed blacklist. she's been on the throne for longer than any other monica british history. look at how the u. k. is celebrating the queen elizabeth platinum jubilee . ah, i'm show gail. welcome to the program, sweden and the u. k. are the latest countries to promise ukraine, more weapons after germany in the us pledged advanced ad defense and rocket systems . of it comes as ukrainian forces struggle to beat back russia's advance in the east and don't bass governor there says 80 percent of the industrial hub of severe

done yet is now under russian control addressing luxembourg parliament, ukrainian president. volume is savanski call for more weapons and more sanctions style unless it would be controllable by herself. today. the occupiers control almost 20 percent of our territory. my that's almost 125000 square kilometers. now this is much larger than the area of all the better looks. countries combine you. rosalyn was an almost 300000 square meters. are contaminated with unexploded mines in ammunitions, sinead them leaky narrative. yes, heavier than it is for to about it very, very fiercely. russia seems to be controlling most of the city we've just heard 80 percent, but we are hearing that ukrainian forces are still in the city and are still resisting the russians. so they are, they, the governor has said that the ukrainian forces have not given up on the city. so

expect this place to be really, really in fierce battles now. right. and so how was civilians coping with this or russian onslaught? all along the line. there are civilians still living in these places. we've heard that around 12000, maybe 15000 people were still in civilized annette last week. and which is probably a number or that is close to what is it, the number that are, are still there. now because evacuations have been very difficult and they're shelling is intense, of course, in several of the nest, but also along the line, although it's less than in this most embattled city. so clearly this is a huge, this is taking a huge toll on the civilians. they are, many, are living in bomb shelters, have been living in bomb charities for weeks. are still many of them have decided not to leave. and i have been to one village where civilians and the military are

now living side by side. right, well let's, let's see your report then. when the war broke out, what it immediately registered as a volunteer for ukraine's territorial defense forces. now he's guarding this village on the front line in don pass. thank you. 3. no, they shoot from tanks. they shoot andy tack missiles canons. i not a career officer, so it is difficult for me to distinguish all of them by sound. oh, good old labradoodle. shortly i've got the low hearted son. his nickname is just one of around 100000 volunteers who joined units like his since the beginning of the war. many are fighting for the 1st time. this is from a rocket. the village is just 3 kilometers from the front line. it's an important defense position. me. i think some locals were suspicious of us in the

beginning. they were watching us. we were patrolling the streets looking after the place and they were hiding. but its things got worse here with electricity and food . we started to help out here and there, and slowly trust has been building at them. luca quarter, the video play us now soldiers and the remaining villages have got used to each other. russian shells at the village daily and they had randomly sat he mc alive, which is a veteran area. and a beekeeper look, it didn't get through better than body armor. the village used to be his get away spot. now he plans to leave. you can also psyche isn't wrecked, we hide all the time from the shooting. look, that's a new one. it landed recently. poor be over there will go crazy. will have honey with shrapnel here. most of his neighbors have already left. still,

there are times when it's come out, the 62 year old pop high, another battlefield name uses the opportunity to study ukrainian source. i used to seek a mix of ukrainian or russian, but being a soldier in the cranium army, i can't be russians speaking, that would be against my principals. now i am transitioning to ukrainian model because not everybody wants to do it is because of his dog that 82 year old nicola each and chris says he's still here. he was injured by shrapnel the day before but he wants to stay. william will live as long as the devil doesn't come after us. nicola has been working in russia for many years. he says he has very few illusions about the fate of his village. for the utility, there is no way to be russia, but they continue to do everything to make things worse even for themselves. i am talking about the leadership, not the ordinary people,

ordinary russians with the same thing as everybody else got a decent life. she just her official at least pretty day. no shells have get landed nearby. it is in the neighboring village that artillery has taken its toll to day. i, mrs. bollinger, in case of why people are choosing to stay in the village, even though it looks like this will will last for some time. yeah, the authorities have warned people to leave the region already. 2 months ago, they were expecting this amount of destruction and fierce fighting. but many people just, i don't want to leave, it's mostly elderly people that we've talked to who said either that they don't know what is what they will do, what they will come to if they, if they travel away, they don't have money. they don't have a place to stay, but there are also people whose whole family has evacuated. they've been evacuating

their kids, their grandkids, but they themselves stay and they don't travel with them. some of them just are saying that it's their fate to be there and they don't see why they should leave at their age. and they are saying, well as this man, i miss each anchor has said, i'll be here until the devil comes after me. and they often are saying things like i was born here and i will die here. i have lived my life. it's just often it's really old people who are, who are, who don't want another change in their life. and they'd rather face what is coming and just listening to what people were saying that report, it does seem as though people are resigning themselves to the idea that russia will take the east. no, i wouldn't say that this is consistent. some people are saying are that are, are, are, are expecting that, i suppose nobody has said this openly to me,

but there's always suspicion that some people there might even be waiting for russia a minority. but most people are saying many people are saying, well, i have hope in the ukrainian forces and it won't come to that point. and then when they're already under fire, they realised that the war is really coming where they are. and then some escape at the late last minute. so i e wouldn't say that people are really expecting russia to come many hours to say we don't know what's going to happen. it's not in our power. we just stay here because we've always been here. okay, thank you for that date of the correspondent mathias pulling in came a relentless russian shelley has reduced ukrainian towns and cities to rubble, but there are ambitious plans to rebuild. big name architects have already offered to help rebuild the country, 2nd largest city hockey as a carbon neutral, modern metropolis 1st. so residents have to come to terms with the scale of the

destruction. this is downtown ha keith. after months of russian showing businesses, churches, houses, whole city blocks destroyed with russian forces repelled for now. people are returning, but rebuilding the city will be a monumental task. this team of foreign volunteers and local architects creates 3 d models of the hundreds of monuments that have been damaged or destroyed in hoc eve documenting what was there for future rebuilding? no one thinks that will happen fast. your do moves to, i think it won't take just a year, more likely 2 years. the destruction is everywhere. but you should also consider that some of these buildings or architectural monuments. it's not basic repair work with if you could, he could do it. does need to outside the capital keys in the town of my car if people repair their houses by daylight and quit when night comes as soon as russian forces left the area, they got right to work with them to water that we have

a plan to make small repairs then to repair institutional buildings, to be able to open schools and kindergartens for children for the new school year. so afterwards we will rebuild private houses and housing blocks. you will be to school solution, but who will pay for it when the fighting is finally over? ukrainian economy is in ruins. the e u has pledged just under 10000000000 euros to help, but that's a fraction of the estimated hundreds of billions needed to rebuild ukraine's critical infrastructure housing, vital services, and help the economy get up and running. there have been calls for a modern marshal plan, the u. s. project that help to rebuild europe after world war 2. but so far, not much commitment. there have also been calls to use frozen russian assets, including yachts, to pay for reconstruction. but nothing's been agreed yet. meanwhile,

cities like marable, have been largely flattened and are still under russian control. the russian installed government there has announced that the port city and former steel making power house will be rebuilt as a resort. back in how cheve people aren't waiting for their musical to be refurbished. who do culture is the basis of everything lesson. if culture had been more developed, people probably wouldn't be dying and there wouldn't be a war. today everyone realizes that maybe they were not so attentive to our cultural heritage before, but once you lose it, it hurts. the end of the war may be a long way off, but in hockey, people insist that life must go on. let's look at some of the methods arising

from the idea of rebuilding a city, a country with ukrainian architect like draws doff. you found it the hockey school of architecture and joins us from even west and you create a welcome to the w. let's start with yourself. how does it feel to see a sitting you've given so much to reduced to rubble like this? is quite, quite hard a year or so show. and for us, maybe a few weeks and i thought maybe this professional architecture not relevant any more, but a few weeks we start to work on that shelters project. i use little bit later start all initiative, which cor called are also read or international urban collision

which i have to shave all. busy dream intern methodology for ability. ok. so you know, you get over the initial shock of what's happening and then just to sort of get, you know, work and presumably rebuilding a 50 is more complicated than just putting everything back the way it was. yeah, sure. because some men in challenges k, trust all a demolition derby, a shoe huge care, but out how to motivate by new built environment to get people back to to think about identity memory, how to work with the drum model war. and this is quite

a serious challenges, but also we, we comp absolutely new energy in the bar and the 3 shaping. see it have to buy our g. it's for us to reshape the community. and i mean these enormous in formats of nation, the supporting car, me to mandatory in need to transfer me ukrainian to you network system. that means that we've our capacity or silicon for our civics. this time he grew up dramatically. this means it's open doors for. busy new possibilities for new architect, right?

more high level, carlos goals and how much this is complicated by the fact that the war a still being fought it many damages and to need it for us to wal mart. most hard we will was, was told. busy or potential or human services for all recovery because people try to be your know, are 5. busy several people already started to organize normal life, fall new job to start and this is will be it. for years the people will be accumulate. are they calling? this is new education becoming most critical

and they're always expert ties because we have to look for a white, some kind of new intellectual cohen, a leave, right. understood. so for this, people have to be brought in and sign up to the vision if only drugged off ukrainian architect. thank you so much. thank you so much. the quick roundup of some other developments in this war. the un says the conflict could put up to 15000000 people at risk of hunger. this year, russia and ukraine account for more than a 3rd of global serial exports. it's estimated that the war means ukraine's great production could fall by more than 50 percent. the season autumn is savanski says 200000 ukranian children are amongst those forcibly taken to russia. ukrainian president said children had been abducted from orphanages or taken with their

parents, but didn't provide any evidence to substantiate this claim. rushes previously claimed its transfer thousands of ukrainian refugees to russian territory voluntarily. anglo merkel has condemned russia's war in new craters, barbaric and the blatant breach of international law in her 1st public speech since stepping down as chancellor. i'm from parliament 6 months ago. and she said she stood in solidarity with you. great government was often criticized for its russia friendly approach. the use agreed not to sanction the head of the russian orthodox church after protest from member state hungary. it's one of several concessions that made to booty fast in an effort to impose a sick round of sanctions on russia. over the war, a kiddo is believed to be one of the wealthiest men in russia and is an avid supporter of president uprooted on union prime minister. victor alba said his

opposition to sanctioning the patriarch has been a long unknown and shouldn't come as a surprise. you might join d w a correspondent christine more than welcome christine. this was a surprise. has the 6 that you sanction package against russia now been signed off? well, so now that this latest hurdle has been cleared in and the ear has effectively given in, at 2 pressure from hungry and removing at the senior care at the head of the orthodox church. from that blacklist, it is now the formality of this agreement. as it is in this text to be sent to all the 27 capitals who must sign off on his end to have it back to brussels or in the early hours of friday morning. by all indications that process is now are on track for that to happen. but of course, ad, this was a span in the works that, that almost derailed this entire process. at some stage, it was unclear if there were going to be able to get over the slightest impasse,

but it appears as they have also again, given in at fort 2 hungry, in the way of concession. and as the, the block gives in to hungry as you say, countries must be wandering if victor alba and things we can do, what every once well feel. i can tell you that there is a lot of anger, especially among e u invoice, our who feel at that the hungarians are effectively being given to matcher in a sense that we know that for example, the, the ambassador, our, for our france who was cheering the meeting yesterday we hungry ab voiced it, sir, opposition to, to this blacklisting of this say senior cleary. and was really frustrated saying it to that kind of change could not be made at the stage in the game, but it appears they are, are seeking to press on with this to go forward to this and guarantee clearly dug in their heels and were not willing to compromise on that because these sanctions need a agreement, consensus,

agreement from all of the members state. so if the hungarians were going to be digging in their heels on this, this package could not go through. so am i remember listening to the lithuanian foreign minister a few weeks ago talking about being held hostage a by, by hungry. and that is that, that the feeling and the sense add that, that many member states do share that the hungarians are in the way of delaying this round of sanctions. and now of course, this looks like latest impasse and are really dragging the heels of of the entire block. and it's also fueling speculation about henry's future inside the european union of is this a country that is headed on its way out. phil are either by leaving voluntarily or potentially being forced out, but i can tell you that there is a lot of anger over this issue. thank you for that, christine christine woodward, in brussels. i mean, after tony death has won his defamation case against his ex wife, amber heard a u. s. court has ordered her to pay him more than $10000000.00 in damages,

but heard was also awarded $2000000.00 after george was found. that mister gap had defamed her through his lawyer. the 6 week trial made headlines around the world where the couple making often lurid claims and counterclaims of domestic abuse. mister deps clean for amber heard it was a bitter end to an intense trial hearing. do you find that mister dev has proven all the elements of defamation? answer yes. had listened with her eyes downcast as it became clear that jurors had emphatically sided with her ex husband. finding that she had defamed him by implying he was abusive during their marriage in a 2018 newspaper article. dep was in england as the verdict was delivered, but posted a triumphant statement online in it. he thanked the jury, saying they had given him his life back heard to release her own statement online. after leaving the court. saying that she was disappointed beyond words by the

ruling and dubbing at a set back for the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously. the result was a remarkable turnaround for dep from just 2 years ago when a british court ruled that he had repeatedly assaulted herd based on much of the same evidence presented in court in virginia. but while the latest chapter of that highly public legal saga may have ended in a victory for dep, it's unlikely to be the last time the pair face each other in court. heard has already announced she's planning to appeal. the verdict is look at some other stores making news around the world for people have been shot dead on a hospital campus in tulsa, in the us state of oklahoma. police say the gunman, armed with a rifle in hand, gun apparently killed himself. this is the latest in a series of mass shootings to shake the united states. is ray, the forces of blood of the house of palestinian gunmen who had shot dead. 5 people
