that shows what actually happened here at marks on the street, the police a rode down there as they took pictures off at the scene and the cord that drove into the shop was already taken away as well. yeah, bridge me that is the question that remains an answer to night. people asking, was this an accident or was this an attack if we learned any, anything new to not not yet. what police it did say is that they denied that press inflammation. that was surrounding a few hours ago saying that there was a manifesto, bought the 29 year old driver that was detained by passer bryce in that shop. he drove into the shop and then people there handed him over to police, who then took him into the tension and started questioning him. but for many people surrounding and who heard about this place and about the bright plights, of course, the memories of the terrible terra talk. and that will mentioned also in the report

says that will not happen, as long as the russian threat exists. tens of millions of tons of wheat, corn, and sunflower. oil have been struck in ports since the war began. 3 months ago. lesser weeks of intense fighting, ukrainian forces have retreated to the outskirts of the city of several don't ask the regions governor saying that fighting in the industrial city continues. russian forces are also shelling the city of lucy shunts, which ukraine still controls. russia now has control over 90 percent of lu hans. that is one of the 2 provinces that make up ukraine's eastern don bass. earlier i asked her corresponding to connelly who was in odessa, how big of a below the pool back from several don't ask is for ukraine when the russians are making steady gains will be at a very, very small scale. i think it has to be remembered time time again,

that russia started this war aiming to take the whole country in a matter of days. first they failed in the north to take care of then they failed to take heart give you kind 2nd city city in the east only about food comes from the border now they've thrown everything they have at that very small, short stretch of the front lines in dumbass, and they are making progress but much, much slower than they had hoped. basically, experts have been predicting as sort of an answer to full for weeks now and it just hasn't happened. now we hear from the region that about temp sent the city lousy industrial areas remain in ukrainian hands and i think that will be seen as a tactical win for the kings. they basically bound so many russian troops there. they've managed to slow them down so long. the russians of the going for basically all out because there's a rush today, big holiday a couple days time. and we've heard that russian generals now under lot of pressure from their commanders, to have something to show for all their efforts and all the russian deaths after consultant, 1st 2 days and marable of some months into this will,

russia basically hasn't overrun any major city. so real pressure on them to make a difference as the ukrainians. i think that has to be predicted. i think they will be happy that they've forced the russians to spend so many days and weeks trying to get it. those. the connelly reporting they are from odessa here, some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. you, kate, human rights groups have lunch. the last minute court bid to block the british government's plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the deportations purportedly aim to stop migrant boat crossings from france. the 1st plane load is set to leave the u. k. as early as next week in tenicia, dozens of lawyers and judges have rallied outside the capitals courts following the dismissal of 57 judges. president sy, it has come under fire for interfering with the judiciary. as he tightened his grip on power, the president dissolved parliament back in april, after sacking the government last year. lebanon's army is battling to contain

a massive blaze in the country's largest pine forest. the fire broke out in the north of the country tuesday night. officials say they suspect arson. belgium's king philip is on the 6th day trip to the democratic republic of congo and the trip seen as a chance for reconciliation between the 2 nations. the king met with the congolese president and reiterated his deepest regrets for belgium's colonial half of during belgium's room. millions congolese were killed, mutilated, or died of disease as the countries resources were exploited. genevieve canada, she is the coordinator of the collective colonial memory and fight against discrimination in belgium. i spoke with her a short while ago and she told me what she thinks about today's visit. oh, thank you so much for the invitation. at 1st,

i would say that and there is no like better outcome. i'll just say that and just to speech that's the king gave today in a step in the right direction for relationship between the 2 countries. because the speech was really about recognizing the past with minimizing what the cooling system was. so it was really a good, good step in the right direction. and i just hope that this will be the beginning of the relationship where the states treat each other as equals. this is about a lot more than just the king. there was in it belgium's brutal history in congo. and the region is well documented. has belgium as it began reckoning with its colonial patched. yeah, belgium is trying to work on its colonial path sealants and

a year now. i would say that it's quite late because our collective was funded like 10 years ago in 2012. and at this time we were saying to political, to, to the politic sorry that they needed to, to work on, on the economy on past. because these calling our past has consequences today on the african decent people leaving belgium. and this is like something that we say seems 10 years now and belgium, finally the badge and state, the political move or finally decided to start working on is going to go past in 2020. and what? so what does that look like to the v? i mean, are we talking about the history that's told in schools, you know, give me a tangible example of how the, the wrongs of the past can be addressed legitimately in the present.

ok. so you really have to be global, for example, hold a moment. we have a commission that is working on the con, you pass. this is only the beginning. what we say is that, for example, the history of quoting is ation needs to be taught in schools. because for the moment it is not something mandatory in the belgian schools to learn about the colonization. so you have sometimes, as students that come out of school, and i didn't know, for example, that don't know, sorry, that belgium had a colony in the past. and it's a very, it's a big problem because we say that if we don't know the past, we cannot understand the present nor build a future here in belgium. so to me, yeah, i was going to ask you, i mean, when you suggest, for example, that, you know, the colonial history be taught in schools and there's pushback. how is that justified? i mean, how do they, the people that you're working with?

how did they tell you that they think colonial history should not be told? oh, this is mainly because i am in belgium del calling your pal before one before like like a 2020. no, we just didn't peak about it at all. it was like something very cultural in belgium . we didn't speak about it. so people were very, i would say maybe ashamed because out when we say ok, you need to speak about that in school. it's means you have to speak about everything. and when, for the last 6 years, you didn't put that in the history books. you didn't, you didn't speak about the exemption of coming zation. how can you can you know, be able to speak out without being ashamed of coming soon because we just never spoke about it. and so, yeah, i think that it was like a feeling of shame to speak about. yeah. genevieve kinda,

we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. you're welcome. you're watching the w w. business news is up next with my colleague christy points, and i will see you tomorrow with people in trucks injured when trying to free the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families, planes on attacks inferior to leave critical news. we learned.
