coming up, back to boot shop, dw returns to the town outside keith that's become known around the world for enduring some of the worst atrocities of this war and deadly rampage. a school teacher dead and a 2nd teacher fighting for his life a day after a car car plowed into their group on a berlin street prosecutor say the driver is being taken into psychiatric care. ah, hi everyone, i'm layla her. i thank you so much for joining us. we start our coverage with the pivotal battle being fought right now in the eastern ukrainian city of subordinates, ukrainian troops facing russian forces there. see, the battle is being waged house to house made ongoing. russian bombardment,

ukraine's president of a lot of years. zalinski says the outcome of this fight could determine the fate of the critical dom bass region. the shelling is relentless in the dawn bus ukrainian soldiers assess the damage available. it was an air bomb student. the russians dropped an air bomb ukraine's industrial hot land is the current focus of russia's onslaught. it's defense, a heavy responsibility for these soldiers to georgia. first look of it is a very dreadful and difficult fighting mom would have no haps is one of the most difficult battles during this war. even yet, i am thankful to each and every one who is defending this region coming up to a great extent, the fate of our dunbar is being decided. they are now naturally done by us. some soldiers do are frustrated by the presence of the civilians who refused to leave

the english. we are to be able to do our job as fighters, michael, but instead we're having to make sure civilians don't get killed. that's how we lose battles. aside leaving though is not easy in this city. in donnette included, the residents are tired of spending most of their days in basement shelters, but they say they don't have an option. i mean, where do they wait for me? tell me, how should i leave my 85 year old mother who do i leave her with? she would not move out of pure norville it anyway. as though you're visiting your we live here. we were born here. i've just been to see my garden and my whole and then is it going to end my live sugar there? there sir, good luck with russia. brutal onslaught showing no signs of abating. that is a difficult question to answer. let's take you now to keep the data corresponding

with you as billing or is standing by mathias. at present, lensky says the battle for tonight's good will determine the very fate of easton ukraine. can you explain to us the significance of this particular city? well, this city does not have a strategic importance in the way that it would open a vast opportunities. but of course, russia needs to control it. if it wants to control the whole of don bass, it's the last or a city the lasts patch of land on that side of the sea whiskey. donnette river, which russia has so far, had very big difficulties to cross, and at least it would allow russia to concentrate its forces on crossing the river . at the moment, of course, meant russia is assaulting the city with a lot of power, a lot of firepower, but also a lot of manpower. and as long as this manpower is busy,

fighting in this city will be very difficult for them to advance in other places to have been some advances in other places as well in nurse whether he is for example, which is a little bit upstream or at the same river, but sir, so far this seems to be there, the, the barrier that they need to get over if they want to. i want to advance for it ukraine. of course, it is an important way to keep russian forces engaged in that city. it's important to hold that city as it was already with maria ball, which was and circled at the time because of that. so russia cannot re deploy these troops. and it's also important because it used to be the administrative capital of the low hands region of those parts of the lawns, region that were under ukrainian control. and mathias things are not going well either a, for keith than ever with regards to the southern region of her son,

a russia point, a leader there is said that you have claimed that the integration of her son into russia has begun. what exactly does he mean by that? yeah, we've been hearing this kind of news for service for some time, so they're forcing businesses to use rubles instead of leaving as the russian currency instead of the ukranian currency is one of the things the authorities have been done that i've been doing. they have been trying to do there. we don't know all the details, of course. another one is to hand out russian passports or in the neighboring city of my milly topple. we've heard that the 1st russian passports are going to be ready soon. um and then basically putting pressure on the people to accept those russian passports to renounce their ukrainian citizenship. of course, the plan of russia is to gay a. to create facts on the ground that will make it more difficult, or chew it for ukraine to gain back these areas. not only militarily,

but russia is also trying to create some kind of a, of a judicial legitimacy for these reasons being russian. this will not be recognized either by ukraine or by most western countries. but out from the russian perspective, it seems to be some kind of a way to create facts on the ground. as a final thoughts from u. n, russia continues to refused on the international stage to accept responsibility for a c blockade of ukrainian grain can you can find an alternative route out for these large volumes of gray. well, that's exactly the problem why we have been talking about these grain blockades. these port blockades was so long. there is no alternative route that would be allow ukraine to export as many tons as they have been exporting before. and they have of course, been alternatives. they have also been have attempts to create alternatives. a lot

more grain is being shipped by tre, now or by truck on the road. but the roads and trains can not carry the same amount as a big ship. and that's the problem. now the, the, the alternative routes they are in place, there's great ship to romania and then by train brought to romania by train and then shipped out of romanian ports. there's grain being brought to europe on trucks and trains, but none of this is enough to compensate for. what are these marriage roots have been providing for before the war did have a correspondence, mateus spending a reporting from the ukrainian capital. keith, thank you. grateful for your reporting as the war has largely shifted to the east many who fled russia's invasion around the capital, keith are now going back to try and rebuild you crazy. some 2000000 people have returned home in recent weeks, including to places like butcher. and she has become synonymous with atrocities

committed by russian troops as dw young phillip sholtes reports even there. some signs of normal life are returning boris of 1st people in his town of butcher in espresso and with it a little bit of normality. this is what his cafe looked like when he came back a few weeks ago. he said the russians stole every thing. even his st. nearly every thing is working again. now. he's just missing a few windows. i crossed leg broken bridge to go to the keel to get coffee, to get milk to get. i like smoked some cookies after 1st guest come over here and they said like, oh my gosh, you're the best you all been renewed. i missed a coffee next door, the block of flats is still standing but as badly damaged it by several rockets or more chars. some people are returning here to keen to try to reunite their families

and rebuild their lives every year. is one of them. she flat just after the war, started taking her 2 small children to safety and poland. she got back home just a few days ago. but the other day cuz so many people warned me saying we should stay abroad for longer. but it was my decision. yeah, i just realised that this conflict, this more could drag on for years. sooner or later i had to come home on the chip is not say, chassis mom as she and her husband michael are, we're lucky. they only lost a window upstairs. the people lost pretty much everything destroyed by her rocket. avura knows the rockets could also come back and sometimes questions her decision to bring her children home. so this is josh. it's frightening, delicious. when you hear about new bombings, you immediately think, where could i run to? how do i save the children?

my bags are still packed. i haven't even unpacked them yet. and i with net is called out. boris knows his wife and child are safe. they are still in switzerland, one element of certainty when everything still feels up in the air. i don't know what i'm going to expect to morrow because like yesterday we got a insecure got bombed in here. i don't know. i'm not planning muffin. i'm just leaving by one day right now. and yet as he mixes cocktails again, he is making plans. he wants to offer up a return is drinks and sitting outside on the terrace this summer. in brussels, female leaders and survivors of conflicts and are gathering for the 2nd edition of women in conflicts coasted by president of the european council, shall, michelle, the events focuses on survivors, justice, and reparation. and it includes nobel peace prize laureate laurie. it's rather

niger murat, the 1st lady of ukraine. elaine, as alaska is speaking at the gathering, and it has just got underway moments ago. let's take you to our correspondence. and christine wants. she's standing by, she's in brussels, christine, good to see the 1st lady of ukraine, or is addressing this a gathering. what did she say? lola, of course. so we will be getting some extracts off of some of her speech there. but alinda zalinski. i has been a vocal advocate for the issue of mental health in her country. she has spoken about the impact that this war has had on the most venerable people, specifically women, children and the elderly. she has also talked about the sexual violence that many have faced in, in, in this conflict, not just women who've made a hoover reported allegations of being raped by russian soldiers. but also those

who have fled at the country. ukraine who have been met and preyed upon by criminal syndicates who have tried to lower them into prostitution and various at their criminal activities. and of course, the vulnerability of women in this war cannot be overstated. and, and, and this is why, as she is of course headlining this, this, this very key conference on women and conflicts at a time where the narrative often excludes the plight of women. it's often an afterthought, as we've heard by, as some delegates speaking there. and so the idea here is to, to take the place of ukrainian women, the very present threats that they face, those who are still in ukraine and those who have fled the country and suited to spotlight the issues around that. yes. and as you're reporting, actually we are showing our viewers live pictures of they're all important event. and we just saw niger murata, a prominent you city activists. i want us to talk

a little bit more about the vulnerability of women and girls in conflicts on specifically now of course, the war in ukraine on monday, the un special invoice for sexual violence in conflict formula pat and told the un security council that the war and ukraine is turning into a human trafficking crisis. what can you tell us about the role of the, what is the you doing to protect these, this particularly vulnerable demographic layla the last time that e u. interior ministers met a part of the agenda was of course am how to, to, to coordinate efforts to, to assist ukrainian refugees in general. but key on that agenda was the issue around protecting ukrainian women who were falling prey at these criminal networks . and often what was happening, it was been reported in the number of e u at states germany, among them, where women were being picked up by people pretending to be ah helpers who, who went to offer them accommodation. only for them to be taken and find themselves

in the hands of criminal gangs who were trying to get them into prostitution. false prosecution. so because there we don't have the numbers are about how many people have fallen victim to this. what the e u at that time would minister we're discussing into your ministers was putting together a database our way a central database where, where it could be clear how many people have entered a certain country so that people do not go missing through the cracks. so it really sends shivers down the spine to think about the fact that there are a number of ukraine in women and girls that are today still, and accounted for the last time somebody would have seen them is when they were trying to flee their country. and many of them have not been heard from since. so these are some of the issues that the e u has been trying to address the european parliament, for example, also went on to, to, to make some recommendations. and namely, for example, at reception centers at refugee reception centers across the european union,

making providing mechanisms, for example, a reporting mechanism for, for women and girls to be able to report as some of the experiences that they've had if they were potentially if, if that would have happened at home in ukraine or on the journey to, to, to, to, to safe refuge out. they talked about making those mechanisms accessible in language and in various other ways to be able to assist people. so this is a, a real issue that pn lawmakers have really been championing. and there is to some degree, some sort of implementation on the ground at the different river g centers and reception centers. and i hope renewed urgency as well. thank you so much. christine were reporting from brussels greatly appreciate you. want to tell you now about the other stories in the headlines right now, the head of the international atomic energy agency. it f. l grossi has accused iran of removing 27 security cameras. monitoring its nuclear program. iran's nuclear
