. and one of the threat that russia poses to global peace, russian propaganda is a said u. s. and sprinting in many countries that does inflammation, campaign, dad, to russia's war against. your grade is a stand simply something about night. so about the role of the united states, about the intention of the west to somehow advance in europe. but in reality, russia's boy against ukraine is not only about europe. it is about globally important things. rush and leadership strives to discards all the achievements of the historical development of human con, particularly the system of international law, which we have to day. and it wants to come back to life of the 19th century, or even before does when it was impossible to ensure the harmonious, de hm, only is development and well being for billions of people. meanwhile,

the fierce fighting in ukraine's eastern shouts continues. russia's firepower in ukraine's dumbass region is estimated to be at least 10 times greater than ukraine . st. zalinski says his troops won't be able to hold back putin's forces much longer without an increase supply of western weapons. as battles re, john some 300 civilians from dumb boss were taken to safer parts of the country. on a special evacuation train. i smiled to break the tension. the civilians had done ads are fleeing. as the shelling draws closer. war is a reality. many people here now to well thump, actually see ship. they started shelling it and then it intensified was moody. we have been in the war for 8 years already. we live on the front line. now the only thing the kids are worried all the time. if you cancel, they are free to sleep at night. so we decided to take them out of here,

go away from the shelling early tea cities and don bass are under steady attack as ukrainian and russian forces fight for every street in his nightly address. ukraine's president stressed just how crucial these battles are for ukraine's future. zelinski said their success depends on weapons deliveries from the west. quay estimates that russia has between 10 to 15 times as much artillery equipment. shells are being rationed by soldiers on the front lines. as ukraine waits for more weapons. in russia, vladimir putin has openly compared himself to the 18th century russians. are peter the great drawing, a parallel between peter's military conquests, and what putin portrayed as a new quest to win back russian lance. what to do to be repeated the great fault, the northern wolf, a 21 years. because some might say he was fighting to seize territory from sweden.

he wasn't seizing anything. he was taking it back. what i show for by this was what i show you reclaiming and consolidating. that's what he was doing. now it seems that it's our turn to reclaim and to consolidate was i show you could be a w, russia analyst, konstantin agra, ease in vilnius with his perspective on food and remarks. michael, that's a continuation of trend group seen developing in from a say to lots of things over the last year. and you definitely sees himself as a total figure in russian history and he's comparison to peter the grades is not accidental. that's what she convinced himself that he's someone who gives russia it's new identity and it's last territory. and i'd say that this means

that war with the ukraine or invasion of ukraine assault on the ground will continue for as long as we don't think it's necessary in depth in his mind. as far as i understand is necessary for only one reason, either to completely subjugate your grain or to destroy it. so there will be no end to this war. i read it like that. i'm sure you also took note of putin's reference to peter the great assault on the city of nava which is now in estonia as russia reclaiming and strengthening its territory house that being received in the baltics . well, yes, not always on the border was with russia. and i've been there several times. it's literally separated by the very, very narrow river from, from the russian territory, and still has quite a lot of russian speakers leading that it is yet another signal over the last week that made the baltic states angry, very angry. i would say because before that,

one of the russian duma members, members of the plan put as planned, parliament suggested that the ussr act, recognizing independence of 20th should be revolt. so yes, in the baltic states, which, well, frankly speaking at the forefront or warning about intentions, this is just another confirmation that fortune's russia is dangerous. and that is, i think, what, what didn't news regard and tolerance will continue to impress on western european who maybe some of them do not believe it yet. konstantin, very briefly, russia has started distributing russian passports in parts of the occupied areas in eastern ukraine. the start of russian annexation yes it is. i think that puts in, in terms to grab as much of eastern se new grants as he can for now, but he will not stop. he'll continue. that is konstantin eggers. as always, many,

many things. konstantin, thank. he's a look at some other developments in the war. the mayor of mario paul has warned of a major cholera outbreak in the southern ukrainian city. he said that with much of the infrastructure damaged or destroyed, people were forced to drink contaminated water. russian troops took control of mario bill last month after weeks of bombardment, which left the city in ruins. u. s. president joe biden has said his ukrainian counterpart of a lot of his zalinski didn't want to hear us warnings that russia was planning to invade. biden said zalinski was among the leaders who thought the intelligence was exaggerated. it's a rare change in tone from one of the ukrainian presidents, strongest supporters. now us lawmakers in the house of representatives have passed a series of gun safety restrictions,

including raising the age to buy certain semi automatic firearms from $18.00 to $21.00. the legislation comes after another series of mass shootings, but the bill is expected to fail in the senate where democrats don't have the votes . they need to pass to law stricter gun control. hey, there have been more than 240 mass shootings in the u. s. so far this year. the w correspondence to me, so misconduct traveled to the state of colorado where a massacre 20 years ago, set off a cycle of national debates over guns in america, columbine, a name that became synonymous with anguish and tear. not just here in this community outside of denver, but around the world. on april 20th 1999 to armed teenagers, went on a shooting rampage in the columbine high school library. 12 students and one teacher were killed. shocking images were beamed on to tv screens across the

country, and it spurred many americans to demand action on gun safety. to day, the columbine memorial sets just half a mile from the high school, a place to remember the victims and trauma wrought upon this community. tom mouser, son, daniel, was killed in the massacre. he was just 15 and already worried about gun violence in the us and was just 2 weeks before columbine. he asked me a question, the dinner table. dad, did you know there were loopholes in the brady bill? brady bill is the national law that requires background checks, present, purchases. i said now i didn't know about that, daniel. 2 weeks later he was killed with a gun. that was purchased through a loophole in the brady bill. how could i not respond to that? i had to, so tom joined, colorado cease fire, a group pushing for stronger gun loss. and colorado did react, enacting universal background checks in colorado and closing

a loophole that made it easier to buy fire arms at gun show. but there is a standoff between people and politicians on gun law waiting on a national level. most americans want some restriction around, but federal law makers are gridlocked along partisan live magazine. it's pretty clear when you have 90 percent of the people supporting something. and you can't get that pass in congress. there's really something something terribly wrong. he says he is consoled so many families who have lost children in school shooting since columbine, that he has little faith that federal politicians will act to day. he carries a piece of daniel with him. so he was wearing that purpose. so one thing i wanted, when they finally returned his belongings, he was the same shoe sizes me. so to me was very symbolic. that i'm walking daniel

shoes. and he will continue to walk, he says, until significant action is taken to protect lives like his sons some the other stores now making use around the world. at this, our former bolivian president janine on yes, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison over an alleged plot to allister rival and predecessor a vote. morales on yes. has spent more than a year in detention. her supporters have taken to the streets to denounce the verdict, calling it political persecution. australia has agreed to pay 555000000 euros in compensation to a french submarine maker. the settlement comes after australia cancelled a decade old contract in favor of a deal with the u. s. and u. k. for nuclear powered submarines, both australia and france. hope the payment will allow for a reset in their bilateral relationship. the british government has one legal
