ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, thousands dead, millions displaced whole cities, reduced to rubble. after $100.00 days of war, ukraine is still holding out against russia's invasion. bought is an already catastrophic situation about to get even worse. also coming up,

ukraine accuses rush and forces of committing thousands of war crimes, including torture, rape, and murder. we look at how the alleged perpetrators could be brought to justice. president joe biden echoes the plea made by families of mass shooting victor bed. one message for all of us do shante. just do something for god shape, do something as the nation more recent debts he urges of ban on assault weapons and other gun control measures. and a major milestone for soft rock and roll royalty. the rolling stones mark 6 deck at the top. ah, we'll show you how the stones kicked off the 60th anniversary tour in the spanish capital.

ah . i'm gab offers welcome to the program. it's been a 100 days since russia evaded ukraine. so let's pause for a minute and look at the cost in death and destruction. this war has cost. it is almost unimaginable. the united nation says there's more than the 4100 ukranian civilians have been killed, including more than 240 children. thousands more have been wounded and the un says both numbers are likely to be much higher with areas like mario, paul, still inaccessible, is also hard to know how many soldiers have died. russia hasn't released any figures recently, but the, you case defense minister says at least 15000 russian soldiers have been killed so far. there's also little information on how many ukrainian soldier ukranian

soldiers have died, but your friends president says between 50 and a 100 fighters are dying every day. the war is also pushed millions from their homes. the un says more than 6800000 people have left ukraine since the war started, some have since returned, and millions more are displaced within the country. and then there's the destruction over a 1000 schools and hundreds of hospitals i and ruins. in addition to houses, roads, bridges, factories is widely agreed that the cost to rebuild will run into the hundreds of billions of euro's so absolutely devastating, $100.00 days for ukraine. but is it going to get even worse? i put that question to the w correspondent, rebecca written in keith earlier. well, yeah, i had it, you know, almost nobody here believed that this war was going to happen. now he, we stand, $100.00 is into the conflict and the conflict is entering

a particularly grueling phase. on thursday in stoughton berg, the head of ne toes warned ukraine at its allies to prepare for the long haul to prepare for the grueling war of attrition. as he calls it, and that is certainly what we're seeing play out in the east of the country. as we know here was the big prize for russia when they stormed in here on the 24th of february. they wanted to take the capital and, and still a new government. they failed in that everyone thought the cave would indeed fall within 72 hours. but as we now know, ukraine managed to hold out to push back russian troops from the capital. then russia of course regrouped and moved to the 8th, and that's where the fighting is taking place. today, we are seeing this grueling war of attrition. play out there. as russia slowly does advance, we're seeing some gains just to give you an update of what's happening on the battlefield. and we are seeing some gains ukraine managing to, to take back

a little pockets in areas. but it's very, very small back and forth. russia not making huge or inroads now, but they are looking like they will take that key city of several done yet in the hands and be able to perhaps take lasy chance. the says this is the city. on the other side though, that does remain in ukrainian hands at the moment. once they've done that, they will be really in control of most of the la hans region of that area. and they will then try and take parts of the done yet, which make up that don bass region, which is now their main aim in this war. so over the 100 days of this war, much, much longer than expected, how you explain this resilience of ukrainians. they're incredibly, a resilience i suppose. i mean that word is always a bit difficult in these terms in these kind of situations. i mean what choice do they have? really they, they're being, they're being invaded and they, they have to kind of stand together and unite and try and,

and fight back. but they are have proven to be incredibly resilient and you know what is perhaps surprising and certainly pleasing to most ukrainians is just how much they have united behind the war effort since it began. you know, you really, you hardly hear any one being critical of what's going on here. everyone's sort of behind backing a president lensky. even those who may not have voted for him or may not have been happy with him as going into this war. they now stand behind their president, they're very happy with the way that he has been handling the situation the way he's been rallying the international community. and you know, that is something that is really helping with morale here. rebecca, you've been recovering that war nearly since the very beginning. what are the more lasting impressions? i will there are several. i mean, i was here in the country a couple of weeks before the war broke out actually, and i went home thinking, oh, this isn't going to happen. like many people here, most people told me we've been in

a war ready for 8 years. we don't believe that that, that person is going to send his troops in and, and try and take the country. ah, but we were all proven wrong. and i would say that the lasting impression really is that unity that i'm talking about, you know, ukrainians really united pulled together. and it's really an incredible thing to see. another thing that really strikes you when you hear me particularly in keith, is just this sort of jacks to position the sort of sense of calm in the city at the moment. i mean, obviously that wasn't the case as troops were surrounding the city. but now you know, a couple of months into this, warren is pushed back troops. there is a sort of calmness here. life is returning almost to normal in the capital, or at least has got a sense of normality to it. and that is really strange to think just a couple of 100 meters kilometers rather down the road. you've got all of this or you know, death and destruction on the battlefield. so that is another really kind of an oddity of war. because it is their reporting from please. thank you. rebec

rebecca mentioned the fiercest fighting has now sent it on cbs, the netscape, the don bus region. in the late my video address on thursday, ukraine's president brought me zalinski, gave this assessment of the situation in these to the country. should roger the situation and don bass has not changed overnight. we've had battle success in soviets, but it's too early to tell how it's going from the situation. there is tough as the situation and nearby cities and towns such as lucy chanced back, morton and others speech. the russian army uses all of its available armed capabilities. or she, ms. landscape speaking, there not for more or less crossover to our military analysts, frank globe, which joins us from oxford in the u. k. frank, i'd like to ask you the same questions that i asked rebecca earlier, is this going to get worse for the ukrainians? let's look at things in the larger context, the russians went into this wanting

a war of annihilation which would take 15 days. we now know that planning assumption and what they've got is a war of attrition. that is likely to take one or more years on the plus side of the ledger. they have taken the city my up on that southern coast, which does threaten ukraine strategically. but on the negative side, rather more significantly for the moment, they have essentially reduce the conflict down to that don barza, which is now their media objective, an area they've been looking to take for the last 8 years and focusing really their entire combat efforts on that so that's where we are now talking about that region fighting is not concentrated, concentrated especially around the city of seattle to nets. how decisive is this battle in the grand scheme of things? i think this is one of many battles to come. it's even one of many battles in this phase. what ukrainians are doing is using the opportunity in american that to

a trade russian forces something they've been doing now for the last 3 months, grinding down continued to dish out casualties. and what they're not doing is treat it like a fortress city, as they did in mario poll, which they had to laugh anyway. so this is not the sort of end battle of the last battle, or even particularly decisive, if they will. as rebecca said, move on to this is chance and possibly even further as president soleski said, further west. so it's one of many battles, even in this phase, as how many, including yourself, when we talked about this topic earlier in the war, was surprised at the, let's say, on the performance of the russian military at the outset resulting and heavy losses . you have to learn from their mistakes now. well, there's one general said recently, if you're going to learn to fire indeed learn a toll of as a whole of the study of military learning. you need to things you need to solid

training, culture, and military professionalism, all wound up and a directive leadership. and the russians have none of those things. the raw material they have is extremely poor and it's getting poor as the character taking for the casualties. seeing that they're learning something, but you know, if you continue to feed virtually on train personnel in large numbers or perhaps not even as large as they need into, into a grinder, then you're not going to get a good result. so russia is learning, but it's not very quickly, and that's why it's making the same mistakes again, and you're going to get like a professional culture. now, you can't sit there prepare for a counter offensive sometime in june, losing don bus. now recapturing it later is that a feasible strategy? ok hot. i'm not too sure they will lose all of done but don't bass. they will as you came, industry defense. it has to be considered said today,

they're likely to lose the hand scary, or whether they can move on to take the rest of it into into don't ask is highly questionable. but both we are where we are. that's the current objective. and i suspect what will happen is some point in the next few weeks, russian momentum of the store, and they will the class, i'm kind of victory, which places that the initiative that in ukrainian hands, again, our military analyst, frank lab, which there thank you very much frank, thank you. god. now ukrainian prosecutor, so therefore identified thousands of cases of war crimes committed by russian forces during the invasion. they include execution style killings, a rape of women, and children and torture authorities and key. if i determined to bring the perpetrators to justice asked it abuse terry schultz reports there are means to do this, but it will not be easy. a warning this report contains images. some viewers may

find disturbing from the start when 100 days of air pin harkey. more useful international investigators want to see the perpetrators in another city as soon as possible, the hague. we all know who are responsible for this, of all, for these dis, this, for every single what is going on or ukraine, of course, at this president of russian federation and his team. actually, who started this war, who started to kill civilians, rape or earth city allowance, tortured civilians alleged atrocities which if proven, are war crimes. while the prospect of actually getting vladimir putin and his military commanders into a court room may seem remote ukrainian prosecutor arena vindictive or has unprecedented resources to reach that goal. i feel i trust. and i hope

there to was my international colleagues with international community or floors. we can speak about justin when needs justice. we want to contact milton. a new joint investigation team headquartered in the hague, is cooperating to seek justice in a range of settings in ukraine, where they've already been convictions in the international criminal court. the i c . c, which is gathering evidence on the ground. and in at least 10 european countries using a mechanism called universal jurisdiction. i think this is what is needed for crimes off the magnitude that we often see at the i c. c. we have to join hands in the common interest of humanity, evidence from the various investigating things from you, crane or other national government to the international criminal court will all be deposited here at euro, just the european union's judicial cooperation agency. then all authorities will

have access to it. but even with these joint efforts, war crimes cases could take many years because of their extremely high burden of proof. human rights lawyer, lot alike explained. there's a quicker path to justice prosecuting the crime of aggression. it is a crime where leaders, people in leadership positions make the decision to launch war against another country. every bomb in ukraine to day, every shelling of a city or town. every tank of russian tank in active in ukraine is a crime of aggression. i liked supports calls for another tribunal to be set up to handle these cases likely under the human rights body. the council of europe, ireland, the councils current president wants to do that by november. how much patience do ukrainians have to see war crimes prosecuted? irina benedict of her answers by recalling the horrors she seen on the battlefield

. it's impossible to forget, it's impossible to forgive. in other words, as long as it takes german, chancellor shots was quick to brand the ukraine war, a turning point. and this week he announced new weapons for keith. 100 days into the wall. new poll numbers are out showing what the germans think about their governments. response. 29 percent. say the german government is not giving enough military aid to ukraine while 42 percent think it is adequate. 23 percent. say the assistance goes too far. the number of people answering adequate is up 7 percent from april of more. these latest poll numbers from germany, let's bring in the w political corresponded hands bond hands. how has german public opinion and the government's position evolved? oh, we have to see that a 100 days ago when this was started. so there was

a huge wave of support in public india, in the german public and across the world, of course, for ukraine. hundreds of thousands of people went on to the streets to demonstrate in favor of ukraine. and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of refugees from ukraine started coming into germany and other countries in europe. so this one, this initial wave of support is still continuous, but as the war has become longer and more complex, so has become the response, the response in germany and amongst joan politicians as well as well, has become a lot more complex at the moment that is not just the question of supporting ukraine, but the question of how to support the ukraine and much of the issue centers at the moment around the delivery of weapons. what kind of weapon should go to ukraine, and to what extent that would mean that germany and other countries in the western alliance would get involved directly in this war, which obviously they want to try and avoid for the job and public at the same time effect such as inflation are making themselves felt. so in germany public opinion,

there is some hesitancy now about how the sinning, how the matters are proceeding at the same time. i think what you have to say is that in general, support for ukraine remains very, very substantial. in german public. ok, of course, this is a big part of the shift involves people's view on russia. let's look at some of the polls are the findings, germans were asked what stance the government should take towards russia when it comes to supplying ukraine with weapons. 50 percent think germany should take a tougher approach while 43 percent say, belin, should not do anything that would provoke russia. that's a slight increase from 2 months ago. the poll also asked about sanctions on russia . 41 percent. think the measures don't go far enough. 37 percent say they're adequate while 15 percent think these sanctions go too far. hands tell us more about how germans attitudes towards russia very close party and

regional lives. he has rushes, obviously the central issue as it were and all of this. and one can see that in the german political spectrum, support against very strong measures towards russia, including weapon supplies, sanctions and diplomatic efforts is strongest among the supporters of a green party. which is a surprise because that party has something of a pacifist past. whereas the other government, the major government party, the senate democrats, of chancellor, all of shots, their opinion is somewhat more split with people. so to democrats, feeling that russia should not be provoked. this goes across to the far right of german politics. the alternative for german germany party, which has a lot of support for russia and is critical, very, very critical of government,

of the government stance towards russia. and then if you look at the regents in germany, the east of germany and the west of germany, the former eastern germany, former communist eastern germany. surprisingly, one might say, support for russia, there remains much stronger than in the west. there. people still feel that russia should be, in some sense, respected, and that one should be careful about provoking russia. the feeling is possibly that russia used to be and communist germany and allied country. and i might still be feel some feelings of friendship towards russia. there at the same time, there is also a lot of support for the right wing alternative for germany party in eastern germany. so that overlaps i think with some sort of respectful authoritarian rule, which one sees in russia. political correspondent, hands pun. thank you. let's have

a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the well today. protest says rallied in ramallah and the hawks upon west bank over the death of a teenager. the palestinian health ministry says he was killed by israeli forces. the 17 year old was reportedly shot dead after he approached an israeli security barrier. israeli army said it's investigating this incident. large crowds gathered in london to celebrate queen elizabeth platinum, jubilee mocking 70 years on the throne. they were in renewed concerns about the queen's health as buckingham palace said she was experiencing some discomfort and would not take part in ceremonies on friday. celebrations will take place through sunday. canada's prime minister just intruder has signed a major land claim, settlement where the native tribe, the government will pay more than $1300000000.00 canadian dollars to the 6 seeker 1st nation for seizing over half its land. more than a century ago,

trudeau said it was one of the largest social settlements. the flat treaty 7, which you as president joe biden as passionately urged congress to take action on gun control in a national address. his speech follows the latest spade of mass shootings that have shaken the country. but biden also acknowledged that without support from republican lawmakers, nothing will change. biden's plead, the american people was blunt and forceful. how much more corners are we willing to accept? harmony more innocent american lives must be taken before we say enough enough. and he had clear proposals thought needed to be done. joe and i visited arlington that we need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. and if we can't ban assault weapons, and we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21. strengthened background

checks and act safe stories. law and red flag laws. repeal the immunity, the protect gun manufacturers and liability, but biden, who just days earlier, visited the texas school when 19 children and 2 teachers was shot dead last week. warned that republicans in the senate would likely block his proposals and implored americans to vote on the issue in the upcoming midterm election. he so wrote, i quote, congress fails. i believe this time a majority of the american people won't give up either. i believe the majority of you will act to turn your outrage in to making this issue central to your vote. enough enough enough. he ended his address with a passionate cole faction cross from a grocery store in buffalo, new york. let's meet the moment. let us finally do something that the policy spine proposed are already being discussed by us lawmakers and thus

dw washington correspondence to me. so misconduct told us the president is taking pains to address concerns from gun rights advocates as well. he did address some of the criticism that we heard from gun rights advocates. he said this is not about taking away any one's guns, but about common sense gun regulations. so senator chris murphy, democrat, has been leading these negotiations. they've been discussing things like red flag laws, background checks, the mental health initiatives as well and, and raising the age at which someone can legally purchase a weapon. but this is a very limited package of measures, all of which have been disgusting congress in previous years. and i thought it was important to note that the senator murphy said he will take anything, even a small package of measures, because they cannot afford to do nothing. and even then it has not cleared that this package of measures will actually make it through congress. i think it's important to note that a strong majority of americans do support basic restrictions on gun rights. these common sense gone regulations, but as you know, the debate here is so bitterly politicized that it appears that even this common

ground appears very thin. at this moment, did i be washington correspondents who is so must come to their now the rolling stones are celebrating 6 decades of rock royalty with a new european tour. it's the bounce 1st since the death of founding drama, charlie watts lost here. the group kicked off a ron of 14 shows, with a gig in the spanish capital ha, 45000 fans from around the world, flocked to the wanda metropolitan o stadium in madrid to see the rolling stones live and in person. and as expected, mick keith and ron did not disappoint ah, front man, mick jagger and 78, was in top form the youngest band member, ronnie would celebrated his 75th birthday on stage. and of course, the equally unbeatable guitarist keith richard.
