2:01 pm
assault until its goals are achieved. also coming up the u. s. president echoes the flea made by families of mass shooting victims. they had one message for all of us . to shop. just do something for god's sake do show. as the nation mormons recent death by judges, the ban on assault weapons and other gun control measures and a lot mask shares, his quote, super bad feelings about the economy and freezes all hiring it electric, car maker tesla. so why is the world's richest man suddenly? so gloomy ah, i manuscripts mckinnon. welcome to the pro,
2:02 pm
and we will bring you all of those stories in just a moment. but 1st we have some breaking news from southern germany where a regional train has derailed. the number of casualties is still unknown, but initial reports say that at least 3 people are dead and that many more are injured. emergency services are at the scene, and we will of course, be bringing you more details on this developing story as they become available. and now to our top story, it has been $100.00 days since russia invaded ukraine. so let's pause for a moment and take a look at the cost in death and destruction that this war has caused because it is almost unimaginable. the united nation says that more than $4100.00 ukranian civilians have been killed and that is including more than $240.00 children. thousands more have been wounded and the un says that both numbers are likely to be much higher with areas like mario, paul, still inaccessible,
2:03 pm
is also hard to know how many soldiers have died. russia last released figures in march saying just over 1300 soldiers had died, but u. k. intelligence says that it's likely, at least $15000.00. there's also little information on how many ukrainian soldiers have died. that ukraine's president says between 50 and 100 fighters are dying every day. the war has of course, pushed millions from their homes. the un says more than 6800000 people have left ukraine since the war started. some have since returned. millions more are displaced within the country. and then there's the destruction. over a 1000 schools and hundreds of hospitals are in ruins. in addition to houses, roads, bridges, and factories. it's widely agreed that the cost to rebuild. we'll run into the hundreds of billions of euro's now earlier i spoke with security analyst, maria of diva from the european expert association. that is
2:04 pm
a think tank that promotes the discussion of political, economic, social insecurity reform in ukraine. and i asked her how ukrainians of feeling, given the gains that russia is making now in the east of the country. russia hasn't gotten any seen in this war. 2 because every goal that put in has stated before the invasion, they have never achieved. they have never taken control over in the ukrainian major city. and i, myself, am from argue and the great troops recently and managed to push russians back for the to the russian border. areas around ki, liberated and here in rico live. also ukrainian troops are now pushing the russians further into the territory of course, on the region. so the moon is very positive that we have losses, of course, and the fights are very heavy in don bus region. but we also need more funds and
2:05 pm
when you grant receives more weapons and that has been, that was announced recently weapons from the united states, the middle ranch or rocket system, and the anti aircraft systems from germany. and are the weapons, it will be possible for you. great troops to push russians for the more week and to get to the victoria faster. maria, you have witnessed the will of aggression 1st hand. can you tell us how your life has changed for the last 1? 100 days, ever since has changed. for me, that's completely different from the security analyst. i have now turned almost into the wall, corresponding cover in russian work rhymes and revealing the truth about what russian troops have committed throughout the great territory. because i have visited numerous liberated villages and towns after the russian invasion,
2:06 pm
and i have witnessed what has the russian troops done there. and also in my home, seated the constant bombardment and shell, and was a cluster munitions which i have witnessed numerous times. now it's the nikolai, which is every day on the shell and by the russian rocket system. so i now see my role in revealing the tools and show and people around the world. what is happening in ukraine so that your brain will get more support and we will get to the victoria sooner. can you tell us the year, what's, what's been the most surprising thing about this war? both in a negative sense, maybe also in, in a positive sense the positive side of the war is how united are you, gray nan nation has become, i have never seen i in my whole life, the unity of ukraine and people you need to bravery. and the ability to resist and
2:07 pm
to fight, no matter what i have never heard from anyone through the 100 day that the people are ready to put down the weapons or surrender. no, every scene, everyone says that we will stand till the end. we will fight till the end and that the whole nation is united because this is the issue of survival. if ukraine doesn't stand up and doesn't fight, and we will not survive as a nation, because now we didn't put it as a goal to destroy every sin. what is ukraine, nan, and this for the bad moments. of course the, the, the cynical, how cynical and how barbarian the few people can be. i mean, the russian troops. i could never imagine that we will see what we have seen in boucher and your being in mario quite now. because after the end of world war 2, the older sink in the now everson is different. but in the what we see now is even
2:08 pm
worse than what the, what we have seen or what we have read about the. and that's his area of diva joining us from odessa in ukraine. thank you so much for your time. thank you. a ukrainian prosecutor say that they have identified thousands of cases of war crimes committed by russian forces during the invasion. they include execution style killings, the rape of women, and children, and torture and authorities. and keith are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice and as d, w as to re schultz. now reports, there are means of doing this, but it won't be easy. a warning this report contains images that you may find disturbing. 100 days of war. more than $15000.00 to legit war crimes and a crime scene spanning virtually an entire country. boucher air
2:09 pm
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 the civil for these dis, forever isn't what is going on, or ukraine, of course, at this president of russian federation. and his team. actually, who started this wall, who started to kill civilians, rape or oh, 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
2:10 pm
can speak about justin. we needs 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 are 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
2:11 pm
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,
2:12 pm
as long as it takes german chancellor luff schultz was quick to brand the ukraine war turning point. and this week he announced new weapons for keith, a 100 days into the one you poll. numbers are out showing what germans think about their governments response. 29 percent. say the german government is not giving enough military a to ukraine while 23 percent say the assistance goes too far. 42 percent think it is adequate. and the number of people answering adequate is up 7 percent from april . now from when these latest poll numbers we can bring in d, w political correspondent, hands brant high hands now a 100 days into the war. how would you sum up how german public opinion and the government's position has evolved? if we look back up to these 100 days, it all started serve with a huge wave of support from the german public especially,
2:13 pm
but also from the public all across europe and the world. hundreds of thousands of people went on the streets to protest against the attack of ukraine to express their support for ukraine. then hundreds of thousands of refugees entered into all countries in europe generally, and were welcomed here. all of that seemed fairly clear, fairly easy to do if you could put it that way. since then, the situation has become a lot more complicated, both for the public and for the government on the side of the public. people now have to deal with consequences of the war that include, for instance, rising inflation. rising costs for petrol and energy, and so on. and at the same time for the government and for all governments that are involved in the alliance to support ukraine in nato. for instance, the question as to what extent to get involved in this war? what kind of weapons, what amount of weapons, for instance, to send to ukraine without actually getting involved in this war. but what you can
2:14 pm
send back, so basically after a 100 days, certainly within the german public, the support for ukraine remains unshaken. of course, a big part of the shift and involves people's views towards russia. so we're going to take a quick look at some of the, the pull that the findings will come right back to you. now germans were asked what stance the government should take towards russia when it comes to supporting ukraine. 50 percent think germany should take a tougher approach of 43 percent. say berlin should not do anything that would provoke russia, and that's a slight increase from 2 months ago. the poll also asked about sanctions on russia . 41 percent think the current measures do not go far enough. 37 percent say they are adequate. well, 15 percent think the sanctions go too far, sir. hands can you tell us more about how germans attitudes towards russia very across both party and regional lines?
2:15 pm
yes. well, on balance, it seems almost 5050 support for tough, major us the guy against russia, as well as opposed to people who feel that the policy should be a little more reticent. if you look at the political parties leading by a long margin, supporters of the green coffee of the environmentalists will feel that put pressure on russia should be increased quite substantially. that's quite surprising because this is a party that has passed the 1st roots. if you then look at the search democrats, the party of chance to the all of shows, there are a lot more k g, about this a lot more careful about this. they feel that approaches to russia should be a lot more carefully balanced. and then we have the far right and the german political spectrum, the alternative for germany, this party is actually against pressure on russia, supports russia in many ways. so the far right support, sir, the russian president. surprisingly,
2:16 pm
if you then look at the regional distribution in germany, eastern germany, surprisingly, one might say, 10 tends to be more careful about putting pressure on russia. this is surprising because east germany used to be a communist east. germany used to be in the communist locker. that was under the rule under pressure from, from moscow. and you would expect that they would react in a similar way to countries such as poland. the opposite is the case and in fact, probably people in the stony support the writing party most strongly and seem to have some sort of longing for author to author a terry and ism authoritarian rule. and as a result, support russia and put in it's all very interesting. we'll have to leave at the w political correspondent hunt. thanks so much. ok, here are some of the other ways that the war in ukraine is impacting the rest of the world. german chance level of charlotte says, welcome, the speaker of ukraine's parliament in berlin. this is rough, lunched on chokes,
2:17 pm
1st foreign trips. since russia invaded ukraine, and the bullet, saki received a standing ovation. earliest f. hancock called on germany to deliver heavy weapons to help his country fight against russian forces. the e. u has formerly approved further sanctions over moscow's war in ukraine, including an embargo on most russian oil imports. by the end of the year that hungary president victor albany insisted on some exemptions for his country, including dropping sanctions on the head of the russian orthodox church that he would get are they now the u. s. president joe biden has passionately urged congress to take action on gun control in a national address. 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
2:18 pm
willing to accept? harmony more interested american lives must be taken before we say enough enough. and he had clear proposals for what needed to be done through an ard visit of 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 that protects gun manufacturers and liability, but biden, who just days earlier, visited the texas school when 19 children. and 2 teachers was shocked, 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 american people won't give up either. i believe the majority of you
2:19 pm
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 cold faction, process grocery store in buffalo, new york. let's meet a moment. let us finally do something at the policies a bite and propose to already being discussed by u. s. lawmakers and as he w. washington correspondent, semi on the stand, a told us the president is taking pains to address concerns from 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'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
2:20 pm
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 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 is not clear 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, the debate here is so bitterly politicized that it appears that even this common ground appears very thin. at this moment, and that was d, w, washington correspondent sumeet on the scandal. now we'd like to update you on the breaking news story that we brought you earlier in the program. a train in southern germany has derailed and authorities on our reporting at least 3 people have died and many more are injured. the train was traveling north of the damage pot and cushion ski resort in bavaria. and the major emergency services operation is still
2:21 pm
under way. the rail line is currently completely closed. we will of course, keep you updated on this as it develops. okay, we're going to move on to some business news and tesla, c, e o. e. lon musk is calling for a 10 percent reduction in staff at the electric car maker, according to an email sent on thursday and seen by reuters news agency mosque also called for a pool is on all hiring worldwide, saying he has a quote, super bad feeling about economy, tesla employees, nearly 100000 people according to a u. s. government filing last year mosque now joins a growing number of business leaders who are warning about the risk of a recession. we have our senior business editor than for sale, and here in the studio to break this down for us. well, companion and so mosque has the super bad feeling about the air economy. tell us more, why is he feeling so bad? it's very trumping sounding, isn't it? it's nothing you to me, i mean, interest rates were about to start increasing and did start increasing in the u. s
2:22 pm
. before the pandemic it. and when the pandemic hit, it was clear. ok, interest rates are going to stay low. but sure. as soon as the pandemic starts easing, those interest rates are going to go back up and that's what they've been doing. so you hear all about inflation now about a possible recession. and you've got the ukraine war, which is really throw this banner into the works as far as the economy, the global economy goes. so a lot of people are worried about that. mosques, comments did send us stock futures falling just before trading today on wall street . it's also adding to these worries that are an aggressive policy timing by the fed could tip the economy into recession basically. so he's basically putting on the brakes after years and years of constant expansion. yeah, it was like no limits. this guy wants to go to mars, you know, and colonized the planet. he built this huge factory battery factory, just new berlin. and they're already talking about expanding that over to the
2:23 pm
factory in texas. they're extending shanghai and then china's locked down came and that caused a lot of problems is fact, it was close to 3 weeks. the 2nd quarter is looking bad as far as sales go, and it share price has been in trouble since april in pre market trading. the shares full by 3 and a half percent mosque is really always been seen as a visionary. hasn't he an and yet, you know, with all of this caution, he c sounding a little old school and we have very old school. i mean, how he runs a business even this, this email he sent out to workers this week saying that they've got to be in, in the office, 40 hours a week minimum, 40 hours and none of this home office stuff. you know, he wants the decision makers and sure i can understand that to be in the one place where they can spontaneously exchange ideas and that sort of thing. and maybe it's just all those years he spent doing late nights sleeping on
2:24 pm
a mattress in his office that has really, you know, form the bond between him and his workplace. so how the work has reacting to this? well, i mean, i can understand it. if he doesn't want people to work for a company in their own 4 walls next to a coffee machine all day with a cat jumping around and a baby and whatever else. interrupting. but yeah, i mean that's the harsh reality of it. and he's cutting 10 percent of the work force, so those are like it can go, he's off than that. but as far as tesla goes, the brand remains solid. and it's a leader in the technology that it does, it's increasing market share. it is still talking about expanding as far as it's other factories go. and it's going to be very interesting to see what the competition does in asia. because there many countries are coming up with their own electric vehicles and they're putting on the pressure. we shall see and to the lin, thanks so much today is world bicycle day. now
2:25 pm
that is an initiative to promote cycling that was launched for years ago by the united nations. but of course for people with disabilities like the visually impaired cycling comes with obvious challenges, that's why a group of volunteers in brazil is helping them navigate those barriers. or it's the day maria has been looking forward to all month. she meets with her tandem cycling partner to cruise the streets of rio de janeiro. along the way, maria's companion gives her cues for orientation. i would i to proceed. during the ride, we give them an audio description. people can ping people playing football people walking on. this enables our partners to really immerse themselves into the rog, since they can't see this way, they can participate much better around 70, visually impaired. people turn up for the monthly bike rights. it's
2:26 pm
a rewarding experience for both them and their partners. thank you for short, some days i cry. there are people who are born blind and have never been able to write a by color. so they haven't had such an experience. if i did the 1st time warm rides, a bike is magic l o f m, i magazine. wonderful. that's great. i live, i love. what is that? one of the things that makes me feel free is riding a bike or an exercise in enjoying life's simple pleasures. i what a wonderful story we have time for a quick reminder of the top story that we're following for you. $100.00 days after the start of russia's invasion of ukraine, the battle for the east of the country is still raging. keith says its forces managing to hold their positions in the strategically important city of. so there
