ah, ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, thousands dead, millions displaced whole cities, reduced to rock. after $100.00 days of war, ukraine is still holding out against russia's invasion. but as an already catastrophic situation. about to get was 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 and the u. s. president echoes the plea made by families of mass shooting victims. they had one message for all of us. to shop. just do something for god shape, do show as the nation more recent, dest biden, or just the ban on assault weapons, and other gun control measures. plus a major milestone for some rock and roll royalty, rolling stones of mach 6 decades at the top. ah, we'll show you how this store kicks off their 60th anniversary tour at the spanish

capital. ah, i'm gather of his welcome to the program. it's been a 100 days since russia invaded ukraine. so let's pause for a minute and look at the cost and death and destruction. this war has cost. it is almost unimaginable. the united nation says that more than 4100 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. it's 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 russian soldiers have been killed. there's also little

information on how many ukrainian soldiers have died. but you, france, 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 now left ukraine since the war started. some have since returned and millions more are displaced within the country. then there's the destruction, more than a 1000 schools and hundreds of hospitals on ruins. in addition to houses, roads, bridges, and factories is widely agreed that the costa rebuild will run into the hundreds of billions of euro's so absolutely devastated a 100 days for ukraine. but is it going to get even worse? i put that question to d. w correspondent, rebecca, written in key of earlier well yeah, had it in almost nobody he believed that this war was going to happen. now. he was

had $100.00 days into the conflict, and the conflict is entering a particularly grueling phase. on thursday in stoughton berg, the head of nato's warn you crying 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 that cave would indeed fall within 72 hours. but as we now know, you crime managed to hold out to push back russian troops from the capital. then russia of course regrouped and moved to the aisd, 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 la hans and be able to perhaps take lucy chance, the sis 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 explained the 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,

but potent 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. and keith is just this sort of juxtaposition, this 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, is 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, is really strange to think just a couple of 100 meters killed 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,

rebecca. and as a recommendation, the fiercest fighting is now centered on the severe the nets in the don bus region in a late night video address on thursday, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski gave this assessment of the situation in the east. should i tell the situation and don bass has not changed overnight? we've had battles success in soviet st, but it's too early to tell how it's going from the situation. there is tough as the situation a nearby cities and towns such as this. he chanced back mortar and others speak. the russian army uses all of its available armed capabilities. the schools are and earlier i spoke with our military analysts, frank lab, which in the u. k. he has his assessment of where things stand 100 days into this war. 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 reduced 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 ukrainian is doing is using the opportunity in american that to a trade russian forces something you've been doing after the last 3 months,

grind them down to 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 been to us anyway. so this is not the sort of and battle of the last battle, or even particularly decisive, if they will. as rebecca said, move on to this a chance and possibly even further as president. sometimes he said, further west, so it's one of many battles, even in his face, has helped frank 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 have learned from their mistakes now. well, there's one general said recently if you're going to learn to fire in the learn a toll of as a whole. the study of military learning, you need to things you need to solid training, culture,

and military professionalism, all wound up and a directive to 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. it does seem 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 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, ukraine said to prepare for a counter offensive sometime in june, losing don boss. now recapturing it later is that a feasible strategy? okay, hot, i'm not too sure they will lose all of done by don't bass. they will, as you can, ministry of defense. it has to be considered said today, they're likely to lose the hands guerria,

whether they can move on to take the rest of it into into the next case is highly questionable. but both we are where we are. that's the current objective. and i suspect what will happen is some point to the next few weeks, russian momentum of the store. and they will declare some kind of victory which places that initiative that in ukrainian hands. again, our military analyst, frank lab, which there thank you very much, frank. thank you. get out now let's look at the russian side of things with our former moscow corresponded emily sherbie new come work in russia anymore, because d, w is banned for operating in russia. now, when the war started, put a name for both swift victory and everybody expected that are mower 100 days into, into this war, or they have to regroup and focus their tax on the east. now, how is put as selling this as a success at home? will look the way that this war, which of course, is called

a special operation within russia, has been framed rhetorically, is so vague that essentially, the russian government, including put in, can sell this, you know, whatever they want to be a victory. so they went into this war saying that they wanted to denazi's fi, ukraine and demilitarize ukraine. so both of those words, you know, what do they really mean? so that essentially means that putin can spin whatever he wants is a victory, especially because he's of course in control of the state media and completely, ah, there's also no access now to various critical media outlets which were blocked pretty much at the beginning of the war. including a d w, which is also blocked within russia. we don't know how successful put in has been in selling this war and surveys. of course, in wartime, are a bit of a difficult thing. and independent polls have shown though, that the majority of people around 80 percent do support this war. still,

no. talking about the support this war. when the invasion started, there was a, this some protest there was this oh journalist colleague who pub very publicly protested on stood as to tv. but it has fallen silent by now. why is that? well, absolutely. just in the 1st few days of the, the war, there were also protests on the streets. you might remember, thousands of people were detained, honestly, as a long term mosque. our correspondent, i was surprised that people even took to the streets at all because that is a huge risk in russia in the last few years, especially kind of in to 2021. the laws and the restrictions were so tight, including a parent, me over the corona virus, but also just with an increase in, you know, the, the regime becoming more and more authoritarian. there were already very strict protest laws. now, after the war, there was a new law that was introduced, which means that you can get up to 15 years in prison for spreading whatever the russian state deems to be fakes about the war, which they again, call

a special operation. and now there are more laws coming in the dumas, for example, discussing introducing a law that would make it make the concept of trees and state treason broader. you could get up to 20 years for that. so people are scared. people are scared to protest and what we're seeing now is more of a trickle of different protests happening. for example, there was one artist to change the price tags in the supermarket. to information about the dead in mario poll, there was someone handing out candy's in moscow on pushkin's square to people who are against the war. but this is more of a trickle at the moment. and i think that's because of the huge risk that people would have to take to take to the streets. now, there's also been lots of speculation about putting health unconfirmed information suggests that could suffer from cancer or parkinson. just rumors, we don't know, you know, these, their persistent reports as you say, including in the russian media. there was an investigation by the russian media

outlet project, which i think is a very reliable source about putin health. they looked into it and they said that he's been traveling for the last few years with several doctors, including specialists on cancer. and interestingly, this week, there were, you know, sources within us intelligence also saying that put in might have cancer. of course, the russian site would say this is a smear campaign. we don't know, we probably will never find out, you know, putins health, i think would be a taboo, even within the kremlin to discuss that. emily survey for me, of course, want to thank you very much. emily ukrainian prosecutor say those identified thousands of cases of war crimes committed by russian forces during the invasion. the include execution style killings, rape of women, and children and torture authorities in chief, i determined to bring the perpetrators to justice, asked the values, terry shows reports. now there are means to do a spot. it will not be easy. warning,

this report contains images. some viewers may find disturbing 100 days of war. more than $15000.00 to legend war crimes and a crime scene expanding virtually an entire country. boucher air pin, harkey. more you both 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 devices, for every single what is going on or ukraine? of course, 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, with my international colleagues with international community or floors. we can speak about justice. we need justice. we want to come to build a new joint investigation team, headquartered in the hague, is cooperating to seek justice in a range of settings in ukraine. where there 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 and 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 counsels current president wants to do that by november. how much patience do ukrainians have to see more crimes prosecuted? arena 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 let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world to not protest is rallied in ramallah in the occupied west bank over the death of a teenager. the palestinian health ministry says he was killed by his railey forces . the 17 year old was reportedly shot dead after he approached in israeli security barrier. israeli army said its investigating the incident. large crowds gathered in london to celebrate queen elizabeth platinum, jubilee marking 70 years on the throne. there were renewed concerns about the queen's health as buckingham palace said she was experiencing discomfort and would

not take part in ceremonies on friday. celebrations will take place from sunday. in pakistan, motorists ross to fill up the vehicle that petrol stations before a 17 percent fuel price. it's the 2nd such cost increase in one week. pakistan is attempting to secure a bailout from the international monetary fund, which has demanded an end to fuel subsidies. candidates prime minister, just intrude o has signed a major land claim settlement with a native tribe. the government will pay more than $1300000000.00 canadian dollars to the 6 seeker 1st nation for seizing more than half of its land. more than a century ago, trudeau said it was one of the largest such settlements. treaty 7 was signed us president joe biden as passionately urged congress to take action on gun control in a national address is speech follows the latest spate of mars shootings that have

shaken the country, but biden also acknowledge 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? how many more innocent american lives must be taken before we say enough enough? and he had clear proposals thought needed to be done. chillen, 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 like the 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 american people won't give up either. i believe the majority of you will act to turn your outrage into 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 the policy is been proposed are already being discussed by you as lawmakers, sanders c, w, washington correspondent, sooner sooner. scandal told us the president is taking pains also address concerns from the gun rights advocates. he did address some of the criticism that we heard from gun rights advocates. he said this is not about taking away anyone's guns, but about common sense gun regulations. so senator chris murphy, a democrat,

has been leading these negotiations. they've been discussing things like red flag laws, background checks, and 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 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. but i think it's important to note that a strong majority of americans do support basic restrictions on gun rights. these common sense gun regulations. but as you know, the debate here so bitterly politicized that it appears that even this common ground appears very thin. at this moment, so it was almost gone to their reporting from washington. now the rolling stones are celebrating 6 decades of rock and roll royalty with a new european tour. it's the balance 1st since the death of founding drama,
