ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, thousands dead, millions displaced all cities reduced to rob. after $100.00 days of war, ukraine is still holding out against russia's invasion, but isn't already catastrophic situation about to get even worse. also coming to

you as president echoes the please made by families of mass shooting victim, they'd one message for all of us to something just do something for god shape. do show as the nation mourns recent death by large is the ban on assault weapons and other gun control measures. plus a major milestone for some rock and roll. royal teeth, rolling stones mock, 6 decades at the top. ah, we'll show you how this stones kicked off this 60th anniversary took in the spanish capital. aah!

ah, i'm golfers 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 in death and destruction. this war has already caused . it's almost unimaginable. the united nation says that more than 4100 civilians have been killed. that includes more than $240.00 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 has released any figures recently, but the u. k is defense minister estimates that at least 15000 russian soldiers have been killed. there's also a little information on how many you create ukrainian soldiers have died. but you can't, president says between 50 and 100 fighters are dying every day. the boys 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. at this place, within the countries and as the destruction over a 1000 schools and hundreds of hospitals, i am ruins. in addition to houses, roads, bridges, and 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 dw correspondence. rebecca riches in chia we'll go had, you know, almost nobody here believed that this war was going to happen. now he, we stand $100.00 days 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 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 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, 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 hans and be able to perhaps take lucy 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 grades in 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. let's look at the russian side of things with our former moscow corresponded emily, sherwin who 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 to 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 d nazi 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 state 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 into 2021. the laws and the restrictions were so tight, including a parent lee over the corona virus. that also just was an increase in, you know, this, the regime becoming more and more authoritarian. there were already very strict protest laws. now am 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 deemed to be fakes about the war, which they again, call a special operation. i'm and now there are more laws coming in the dumas,

for example, i'm discussing introducing a law that would make it a, make the concept of trees and state treason abroad, or 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, of different protests happening. for example, there was one artist who changed the price tags in a supermarket. to information about the dead in mario pole. there was some one handing out candy's in moscow on pushkin square to people who were against the war . but this is more of a trickle at the moment. and i think that's because of the huge risks that people would have to take to take to the streets. now, there's also been lots of speculation about putins health unconfirmed information suggests who could suffer from crown. so old parkinson, just rumors when we don't know, you know, the, there are persistent reports as you say, including in the russian media. there was a, an, an investigation by the russian media outlet pre act, which i think is

a very reliable source about futons 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 side would say this is a smear campaign. we don't know, we probably will never find out on, you know, putins health, i think would be a taboo, even within the kremlin to discuss that. emily sherman, a formal workforce woman. thank you very much. emily and i have let's have a look at some of the other stores making her laws around the world. large crowds gathered in london on thursday to celebrate queen elizabeth platinum jubilee mocking 70 years on the throne. and 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 through sunday

candidates prime minister just into dough has signed a major land claim, settlement with a native tribe. the government will pay more than $1300000000.00 canadian dollars to the seek seeka 1st nation for seizing over half its land. more than a century ago. trudeau said it was one of the largest such settlements. the treaty 7 was in the u. s. state of iowa, a man has shot and killed 2 women before turning the gun on himself. the incident took place outside the cornerstone church. that's a mega church in the town of aims while a service was being held inside. it's the latest in a series of shootings that have shaken the country. and you as president joe biden as passionately urged congress to take action on gun control in a national address. 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. john, 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 storage 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 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 policies biden, i propose, already being discussed by us. lawmakers sent us the w. washington correspondent soonest, almost gone to told us the president is taking pains to 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 any one's guns, but about common sense gun regulations. so senator chris murphy, a democrat, has been leading these negotiations. they have 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 discussed in 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 is not clear that this a 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 gun regulations. but as you know, the debate here so bitterly politicized that it appears that even this common ground appears. a very thin at this moment did be washington correspondent, suicide moscow. the rolling stones are celebrating 6 decades all for rock'n'roll, royalty with a new or european took. it's the balance 1st since the death of founding drama, charlie waltz lost here. the group kicked off a ron of 14 shows, with a gig in the spanish capital. now,

45000 fans from around the world flocked to the wanda metropolitan stadium in madrid to see the rolling stones live and in person. and as expected, nick keith and ron did not disappoint ah, front man, mick jagger at 78, was in top form. the youngest band member ronnie wood, celebrated his 75th birthday on stage, and of course, the equally unbeatable guitarist keith richard. ah, 2 and a half hours of pure energy tonight play very unique. there's no unlike them. i mean, i can have them up. we've seen the many times. this is my 2nd time and it's your val 11th time. it was a big tack under under 50 of can 2012. we said this might be the last time we say,

you know, we seen him around europe. many thompson said wanted england to shows or planned in germany before the rolling stones. 62 are wrapped up in stockholm at the end of july. ah amazing. you won't, you need any news. that's it from me and the news team here and berlin have a good week. ah, it is a secret war. the seem endless one axis in the conflict between yvonne on the one hand and israel in the united states on the other.
