6:02 pm
soldiers each side has lost. having failed to take the capital key, russia has scaled back its ambitions and not fighting for control of ukraine's eastern industrial heartland. cranium. president vladimir zalinski says he remains confident a victory by it's been 100 days of war. but life in the capital, keith has returned to a state of relative normality. there is signs of the russian invasion everywhere and the people are getting on with life. nobody thinks the war is over. much too. that doesn't mean conflict. i think it will be a long conflict with the war mind to stop and then start again. i'm preparing for 10 years or can do it all for you. i'm not bringing my family back,
6:03 pm
but i would like to stay in ukraine myself with your blood sugar. so it's like kit, almost normal to you. i think the danger is still big. so we have are gathering of the troops in the, in the border was with russia and any time it could come back. and also as everyone in ukraine, we are under the m constant possibility of strike from the air. a true build up in belarus, just a few 100 kilometers to the north of he does have people on edge and they are trying to make the most of the relative calm here many fee that russian successes in the east could emboldened moscow to take another grab at the capital and so of yan skin ukraine's east. now, one of the epi centers of russia's invasion war is everywhere. much of the city has been flattened by russian strikes. you know, to like you to know,
6:04 pm
is it really necessary to launch this rocket on this house and on this one and the one next door i'm with you tell me dad, to let that damn page and things that russian missiles are coming. but really what, how much does it cost? is there a cost millions? what is this rocket designed for this house? not, you know, ukraine's president followed him is a lensky, has said that victory will eventually belong to ukraine. or so great view craned armed forces. he here huddled, most importantly our people here. we have defended ukraine for $100.00 days already . the dish and victory will be ours. glory to crane. but i'm also mama. so hopefully, even if residents share their president's optimism here in the dawn bass, that promise feels a long way away. with the w corresponded. young philip sholtes is in cave, and he told me how the conflict stumps at the moment. think sad,
6:05 pm
tense at the moment, especially in the east president lensky says that around 20 percent of the territory have been occupied by russia, as you know, after the failed attempt said to take over here at the very beginning of the war. russians have been focusing on the dunbar region in the east of the country, or the russian over the ukrainian forces have had some success there. but most of the territory in the don boss is in the hands of the russians by now, and it's a territory. well before the war, 15 percent of the ukrainians left and they're still fighting, going on in the keys city are for severe donnette sca russians have taken over most of the city, but they're still resistance by the ukrainian forces. now the last couple of days have seen our promises of more heavy weaponry from western countries, but that's going to take a weeks, if not months to actually arrive. said it. does that mean things are likely to get
6:06 pm
worse for ukraine before they get better. well, things might get worse in the coming weeks. yes. but are all experts say that the fi it's also in the dundas region is far from over of course a ukrainians. let's say that the process of the weapon delivery should be a faster that they should speed up the weapon deliveries. but all sides seem to be prepared for a long war of attrition at the moment as so those are new weapon systems will almost certainly play in a very important role in a possible future counter offensive by the ukrainians and the coming weeks and months that young phillip sholtes in keith o maria city jenko has moved back to cave after being evacuated out of the city when the war began. she told me how her family is doing now. hi. so my
6:07 pm
family in dia, we were touched by this, swore a lot because i'm originally from mary cole and my family leave there for their whole life. so now of course we're fill, you know, if we can, to describe how we feel, actually because my grandma was in to maria maria for 3 weeks. i'm sorry, you know, under constant showing what it was that really the most difficult cetacean theory and my family, my parents, they love their home, and now they are in europe because they can't get back actually to their home. seated to marry poland. i also left key of for 3, almost 3 months and now i'm back to key if, because i feel it's my home and i want to be there. but yeah, so i think it's impossible to describe the whole spectrum of the emotions that we have. and i wonder while you were away, was it because of course the,
6:08 pm
the media that's been wall to wall coverage of this? did you avoid watching what was going on? or were you sort of glue to the sat we couldn't avoid watching of what's going on because you know, it's my home is my nation and it's the people who live in my country and you can just get away from that. so we are constantly into all these flow of the news and what's going on because we want to help our country and we tried to do whatever we could do in order to get the station just a big batter and we want to win them all of our so that's why should we can to get away from that. and now you're backing keith. how does that feel? do you feel safe? personally, i feel relatively safe and clear. of course, we have regular, a raid sirens, you know, each day of course varies
6:09 pm
a gas shortage. and in order to feel the time, you need to wait, you know, 234 hours some times to get the gas actually. but it's my home and there are more and more people coming back to key. if unfortunately, maybe people with kids, they can't get back because still it's not face. so they are paying in europe or in western part of ukraine. but when i get back to key, if i realized that, yeah, it's the place where i belong and i would be there for the future. and you mentioned, you know, your grandmother, you said that she was and married, which of course is now under russian control. have you heard from it? yeah, finally, we match after a 3 months of war and we evacuated sure from the occupied territory. now she's in the key of region and want to be mad. yeah, it was such a relief to see her how pleased to see that she's happy to be with us to be in ukraine and wrenches. hard to, to describe all the horrors that she survived through when she was very helpful. i
6:10 pm
just cried. we really so it's, it's a difficult time for us, but now we are together. ok, we wish you. well, i'm glad. i'm glad that not happen to there's a happy ending to that. thank you so much for joining us to sharing that with us various reaching kim, kim, the ukrainian prosecutors have identified thousands of potential war crimes committed by russian forces. these include executions, rapes of women, and children and torture authorities and caves over determine to bring the guilty to justice and just a warning. a mix report contains images that you might find upsetting. 100 days of war more than 15000 to legit war crimes. and a crime scene spanning virtually an entire country, butcher, air pin, harkey,
6:11 pm
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, this president of russian federation and his team actually who started this war, 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, with my international colleagues, with international community or floors. we can speak about justin. we
6:12 pm
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 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 of 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 teams from ukraine 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
6:13 pm
proof. human rights lawyer, lot alike explained. there is 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. lately, 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, impossible to forgive. in other words, as long as it takes will you has for me, approved new sanctions over the war,
6:14 pm
including an embargo on most russian oil imports by the end of the year. and this 6th round of measures, 3 more russian state media outlets abandon russia's biggest rank spare bag is cut off from the swift payment system. the latest functions are aimed to squeeze the kremlin ability to pay for the war. so ah, the sanctions biting what sort of effect of a, having was still to d w brush corresponding to emily show who was based in moscow until that d. w was banned from operating a welcome back to the studio, emily. so every day life a russians noticing anything different while the sanctions aren't having too much of an effect on every day life in russia for normal russians quite yet. in part, that's because the russian authorities were kind of prepared for sanctions in to some extent. they've been preparing since the 1st round of sanctions are the initial rounds of sanctions. i should say, 2014, you know,
6:15 pm
after russia annexed the crimean peninsula and started to warn you, created the 1st place. and, and also in the 1st, you know, weeks and months of the sanctions coming into effect with the russian authorities, including the central bank to quite effective measures to counteract those sanctions. and it's counter intuitive perhaps, but russia's, as she earning still billions and oil revenue because actually the war has driven up prices in oil. so that's also going into russian coffers. bought the sanctions, i would say, are more extreme than the russian authorities expected. and experts predict that normal russian people will start feeling the effects of the sanctions sort of towards the summer. there are already some shortages, you know, and imports. for example, you know, car parts, buttons, bleach for paper, kind of a random list of things. micro chips as well. so kind of technology that's going to become a problem. and some experts predict that the russian economy could shrink by up to 15 percent this year. so you know that serious. but we should say when it comes to
6:16 pm
the actual goal of these sanctions, which is to stop this war, it hasn't worked out working. ok. so now we have russian forces embroiled in this vista, drawn out conflict that was supposed to be a quick special military operations in russian plans have been drawn a couple of times. and now they're focusing their attacks on the, on the east to house president putin. selling these withdrawals in these re groupings domestically? well, i would say, you know, when it's, when you're in control of the narrative, it's, you know, you can sell basically anything. and this whole war was couched in these very vague terms. so it's called a special operation rather than a war. and the goals of this special operation were quote, the d not suffocation and demilitarization of ukraine. so essentially those terms are so vague that you can call anything you want of victory. and i think, you know, on russian state t, v, people have been talking a lot about kind of saving russian speakers in the east. so i think that would kind
6:17 pm
of fit into the narrative. now, you know, of russia kind of fighting in the east of the country, and of course, i just mentioned the state media. you can control the narrative particularly well if you're in control of the media. and that's more and more true now, you know, on state tv. but also all, almost all critical media outlets have been closed down or blocked since the war began. all right, so, so things like failing to, to capture key russians are not aware of that or, or, or so that as a sort of victory. i think it's just in general being sold as a high precision scalpel, like was one of the words i heard being used. special operation where russia is victorious, of course, and emily shewn, thank you so much. speaker of ukraine's parliament is in berlin, hoping to convince german leaders to send more arms to keith whose lanced avantia
6:18 pm
is urging germany to deliver promise weapon systems. without delay. after meeting chancellor shoulds, he visited the german parliament where he was given a standing ovation. all the bones assad but their bundle talk has also taken a step towards delivering on defense spending promises prompted by the war with a change to the constitution. lawmakers approved to 100000000 europe package for the armed forces. the boost will bring germany into long fits nato commitment to spend more on defense, chancellor shops as described the war as a turning point for germany at defense and foreign policy is on us on will they w said chief political correspondent melinda crane explained what about 100000000000 euros will be spent on while the largest share over 40000000000 euros will go to bolstering air capabilities. and they are the german defense minister is taking an unusual step in order to move fast, namely, buying u. s. made of f. 35 fighter jets and also chinooks helicopters off the rack as it
6:19 pm
were. rather than embarking on a long drawn out development process with european allies and beyond that, 19000000000 will go to the navy. and another 16000000000 will go to the army for inquiry equipment including armored vehicles. but it's worth noting that the considerable deficiencies of the german military are by no means only material, but also institutional, which is why one of the key pledges made here today was the job front german defense ministers vow to reform the countries unwieldy and very bureaucratic procurement process, people are going to look of a so and wonder why do you have to change the constitution to increase the defense budget something that but countries around the world a do pretty much every year. that's right. well, one aspect is symbolic, this is
6:20 pm
a sign of the seriousness of the commitment to reverse decades of under investment . but there's also a very practical aspect, and it's this by anchoring this fund in the constitution, the parliament essentially has taken it out of the normal budgetary process. which means that if the finance minister has its way and constitutional limits on debt or reinstated in 2023, the so called debt break, this fund will still flow. it will not be susceptible to budget cuts that other ministries may have to endure. right? unless of course old prompted by the war in ukraine, but these changes clearly indicate a shift. well beyond this current conflict, they absolutely do. you know, when we evaluate germany's willingness to walk the talk on a turning point in its commitment to defense. we often look at heavy weapons deliveries to ukraine, and while they are definitely important,
6:21 pm
the fact is that the turning point goes far beyond that. it goes to a readiness to defend democracy in general, and also to germany's competence and capabilities as an ally. and they have been seriously called into question by the long years of under investment. and that's why one of the statements made here to day that got the most resounding applause, was by the foreign minister on a lena bear buck. when she said, thanks to this fund in future, we will be able to say we're there when europe needs us. thank you so much for that . a melinda, our chief, political correspondent, melinda cry. i'll try miss d railed in southern germany, kevin, at least 4 people, several carriages overturned on the tracks near the ski resort of garnished pot and kitchen in the bavarian out emergency services or at the c. a 30 people were injured. the w surgeon, new south delhi, told me more authorities have said they do not yet know what

6:23 pm
significant is the location where this accident took place at the a g 7 summit that germany is presiding is a set to take place in the vicinity of gamete, patton kitchen. and so a lot of the authorities who were there working to organize the g 7, had to be involved in the rescue operation at this train derailment. talk us through the rescue operation. how's that going? so authority say that a large amount of fire fighters, emergency rescuers and police are on the scene. they have deployed cranes to try to bring these carriages upright. but before that, people who were in the train had to be pulled out through the windows and we know that helicopters have been deployed to bring the injured to the local area hospitals. the operation is still ongoing and that means that the, the train tracks had to be close in the area around where the accident occurred
