a train crash in southern germany, emergency services are the see. the u. s. president echoes the player families bring by mass shootings. they'd one message for all of us. do something. just do something for god shape. do something as a nation morning, the latest death president biden calls for gun control. ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. it's not $100.00 days since russia invaded ukraine and the war shows no sign of ending the red cross as the scale of destruction defies comprehension. united nations estimates more than 4000 civilians have been killed and nearly 7000000 people of left the country and is not clear how

many soldiers each site has lost. having failed to take the capital key, russian has scaled back its ambitions, and he's now fighting for control of ukraine's eastern industrial heartland. ukrainian president vladimir savanski says he remains confident to 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 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 for 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, but i would like to stay in ukraine myself with your bushel to. so it's like

kid, 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, and in time it could come back and also as everyone in ukraine, we are under the m constance possibility of strike from the air. a troop build up in ballard is just a few 100 kilometers to the north of hey, dance, 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, 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 dat. sure. let that damn persian thinks 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 for a lot of may, zalinski, has said that victory will eventually belong to ukraine. or so great view craned on forces are here. most importantly, our people here. oh, we've defended ukraine for $100.00 days already. the dish and victory will be ours . glory to crane. but i'm also mama slow growing. even if residents share their president's optimism here in the dawn bass, that promise feel the long way away. will dw correspondent young phillip sholtes is in cave and outlined how the conflicts tom's at the moment. think so 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 keith, 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. i have had some success there, but most of the territory and the don boss is in the hands of the russians by now and it's a territory well before the war. 15 percent off for ukrainians lift and they're still fighting, going on in the keys city are for severe oil. 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 for that's going to take a weeks, if not months to actually arrive. so it does that mean things are likely to get worse for ukraine before they get better. well things might get

worse in the coming weeks. yes. but are all experts say that the fights are also in the danverse region is far from over, of course a ukrainians. a 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. so by the ukrainians in the coming weeks and months as young phillip sholtes in keith. well, the use formerly approved new sanctions of the war including an embargo and most russian oil imports by the end of the year. under this 6th round of measures, 3 more russian state media outlets abandoned. the country's biggest bank, spare bank is cut off from the swift payment system. the lady sanctions aim to

squeeze the credit of the ability to pay for its war. so ah, the sanctions biting what sort of effect of a, having was still to dw russia corresponding to emily show and who was based in moscow until that d. w was banned from operating. there are welcome back to the studio, emily. so every day life or russians noticing anything different while the sanctions aren't having too much of an effect on everyday 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, 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. i'm 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 in 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 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. having 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 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 us 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. or try his d railed in southern germany, killing at least 4 people, several carriages overturned on the trucks near the ski resort of damage pot incursion in the bavarian alps. emergency services are of the see. 30 people were injured. u. w. 's at your new south, denny. told me mo, authorities have said they do not yet know what caused the derailment of parts of this train. it seems like the back part of the train,

the carriages that were towards the back, are the ones that actually went off the rails. and there are pictures that show how these are these carriages have gone down a slope and overturned, and it's a likely that the train was quite full with people. we've heard from authorities that there have been at least 4 dead accounted for. and a number of people injured, some of them severely who had to be brought to the hospital. and a lot of people are likely to have been on this train because today was the last day of school because before a school vacations in a bavaria. so there were reports that said that a lot of school children were on this train, a heading home after the school day and heading into the holidays. and also 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 took us through the rescue operation. how's it going? so authorities 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, there are people who were in the train had to be pulled out a through the windows. and or 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 because there is no possibility for train travel. ok. thank you for that. your julia sally. there has been another shooting in the us this time outside of

church, in the state of iowa, a man shot and killed 2 women before turning a gun on himself. a service was being held inside in the town of ames last week. 19 students and 2 teachers were killed in texas. president biden is urging congress to act to restrict access to guns, but he 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? how many 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 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 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 mer, grocery store in buffalo, new york. let's meet the moment. let us finally do something
