a fast tracking of essential as a session to the a you. but from the line saying that the, the process will be completed by next week of the cow, of the commission's recommendations. now that commission recommendation is likely to be positive and was perhaps slightly fast tracked if you will, given the light of the situation here with the war. but definitely the a say a session processed as it were, cannot be fast tracked on the line. and it has to give her a recommendation or the commission's recommendation. and the man has to go to the 27 members day to only to unanimously agree. and therefore, triggering the long, the long process to possession. well, he has to look at some of the other developments in the war. russian forces occupying father ukraine had begun handing out passports. 23 locals, including the new moscow, installed governor care san, have accepted russian passports. russia has also opened an office in melee, topple in

a region so partly held by ukraine. german media reporting that chancellor left sholtes is planning to visit ukraine's capital keith before the end of june. the build newspaper says the chancellor will visit with the french president emmanuel, the hon. and italian prime minister at mario dragging. the german government has so far declined to comment on the report that guns feminine. now, when russia's president vladimir putin launched his war on ukraine, he justified his actions in part by claiming that ukraine didn't exist as a separate state and had never been a nation. but the past few months have shown what a miscalculation that was the war was, has now strengthen the result of ukrainians around the world to keep their culture alive intruding. residents living in southern brazil with ukrainian brutes, ukrainian churches in southern brazil. the city of prudent populace is south america's little keith. in this full club,

young people practice traditional ukrainian dances. they were all born here and have brazilian citizenship, but their ancestors come from ukraine. it's important to them to keep their customs alive. and we can part to formally, the most important thing is to be part of the ukraine and community. i can do my part to preserve our culture, a culture that some want to see disappearing. examples links here, almost 80 percent of the people living in put in topple is have ukrainian roots to a guide. miroslav a crv. i talked to visitors about the war and it's getting good to be like what else russia wants to destroy young people, but they won't succeed because we are resilient music more. so since we have our own language, is that we use it to sing and pray, whoever, on culture webpage book, a local daughter. in the 19th century, the 1st ukrainian settlers came to southern brazil for economic reasons. the families coming now are refugees from russia's war, thus there was kept one,

it's or duty to welcome richard jesus everywhere in brazil, equally as his vessels. all go marching, shook has been here for 2 months with her husband and 4 children. after the russian army invaded their hometown of care, some they fled the country. our house is yet invaded by russian soldiers. you see right now they, they stayed there almost for 2 month. they are now far away from home, depending on the kindness of strangers and getting used to life in tropical brazil . knew that of food became no realised. we'll be living here for a year. slowly, we are getting used to the brazilian culture language and way of life. while at the court of doing and the maya, brazil is so far some exotic country for us. but then we realized that many countries they proposed, they are government programs, and brazilians. they proposed as the church program, the full club of prudent populace, now regularly donates clothes and food to the newcomers. in the back in their

proper m, you can see photos of all the cla precedence. and now there's also a photo of president zalinski hanging on the wall, right? meaning he's a worthy leader of the ukrainian people because he did not run away. he deserve respect for that. you see, miss espied, even though they were all born in brazil, they worry about what is happening back in ukraine. the land of their ancestors of thousands are marching across the united states, demanding stricter gun laws. the rallies are part of a renewed push for python gun controls. after a number of mass using u. s. lawmakers have passed some restrictions, but the measures are likely to be overturned in the senate, because democrats don't have enough both. of these, please send me some us gondo, was that the rally in washington dc and told me what specific measures or changes

the protesters want? well, quite simply were hello, they want just any sort of change. i mean, we saw so many signs imploring lawmakers to do something to make of schools, churches supermarket safer. we have seen the spade of mass shootings in buffalo, new york, and you've all the texas, tulsa, oklahoma. and the anger in the frustration was really palpable among protesters, specifically the much for allies movement. this was founded after mass shooting in florida, 4 years ago, and they have a list of policy proposals. they want to see address. that includes a national licensing and registry system, a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. that's essentially how many bullets a gun can fire off policies to disarm gun owners who pose a risk. also a national gun buyback program. but we have to say we're here that while the majority of americans do clearly in survey after survey say they want some sort of restrictions on guns. it becomes tricky when you talk about the how, because we did speak to gun control advocates this past week. you say there shouldn't be a ban on assault weapons or that there shouldn't be

a national registry. what they can't agree on is that something needs to be changed . and you mentioned the march for our lives protests which you know, that happened about 4 years ago. but how big was the turn out this time around in other parts of the united states? well, there were big protests in cities across the country from new york to chicago to los angeles. and we saw a pretty big crowd here in d. c. we have to say what is different this time from the previous march that you mentioned? we heard from protesters that there is this renewed sense of urgency after the mass shootings that i mentioned. and the fact that america has witnessed more mass shootings than days in the year. so all of that is contributed to this fresh momentum, really the push for guns safety legislation. but we have to remind viewers that nothing has actually changed in terms of legislation. and a lot of protesters we saw and spoke to carried signs expressing their fury with lawmakers who are blocked any progress on meaningful reform. yeah, and there is also a renewed push in congress full gun control,

but there was some stumbling blocks that just took us through those. yeah, the stumbling block is and has been a gridlock in the senate. so the house of representatives where the democrats have a majority, they were able to pass a package of measures this week that include things that they call common sense gun laws. like removing guns from the homes of people who are considered a risk. raising the age to purchase a semi automatic firearm from 18 to 21. but that is all but doomed in the senate. and the reason we're hillis that the democrats don't have the numbers, they would need 10 republicans to vote with them on this package. there is not much chance that they will get the majority. they are still negotiating. there's some optimism, but most observers here believe that congress will come up short again on legislation on gun control. the deputies assuming the mask on the in washington dc. thank you so much. i take a look at some of the news making headlines around the world. see people have been shot dead in india after protests turnt violence. crowds demanded the arrest of

scattered protests. millions of shanghai stress didn't have to stay indoors once again. any like, yeah, of course i'm. what'd the lockdown was just lifted on june 1st. we were only just slowly recovering and returning to some semblance of a normal woking life. oh, i am a little wadded. if that upwards of cases and the compound b will be in a lockdown, i will get some supplies to stop a similar situation happening again on september 2000. in beijing, some districts are shutting down bars and clubs again. after fresh cases were traced to some night life sports, the city has reported dozens of new cases. china is one of the last major economies still pursuing a 0 corbett policy. but yorktown's have battered the economy and flashed growth forecasts more disruptions, good further,
