[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is the w news coming to live from berlin, ukraine's president says his forces are plotting for every meter in the eastern city of severe if the next many civilians are sheltering in a besieged chemical plant. but russia's destruction of all,

but one bridge out of the city means chances of leaping are dwindling. past. also coming up there, wheat sy, letters are filling up, but ukraine's farmers can't ship their product. d. w here is from one palmer about how the war is boiling efforts to feed the world and break through in the us on gun control. a group of senate republicans and democrats put forward proposals that could break a decades long stalemate in congress. but they fall short of tougher steps demanded by president 5 plus and formula one another victory for red bulls max per stop. as ferrari's challenge goes up in smoke in the us by john brehm pre ah, hello him, terry martin, thanks for joining ukraine's president below to mr. lansky says his troops are

engaged in fierce fighting for every single me of subordinates. ukraine says russia has destroyed all but one bridge out of the city, leaving few options for anyone hoping to leave severe dynette together with neighboring lucia chunks are the last main areas in will. hans province, not already under russia, control. ukrainian fighters say they're holding out, but without more long range weapons and even basic ammunition from the west. the tide could be turning in, rushes, failure, smoke rising from an industrial area in the city of sierra, the netscape, the last part still under ukrainian. control this unverified footage reportedly shows the as ought to chemical factory where hundreds of fighters and residents are said to be taking shelter. russia is trying to pound the city along with neighboring lucy chanced into submission with heavy artillery ukraine's president florida means the lensky says,

rusher is throwing everything into the battle. what the occupiers key, tactical gold has not changed, they are pressing it to shiver. jeanette's severe fighting is going on there. literally, every meter. local officials say russian forces have blown up a bridge linking several done as quickly as he chanced, cutting off a crucial evacuation route for civilians. in lucy chanced, ukraine is scrambling to evacuate residence. many there think it's now time to get out before it's too late. this not a little after we had. we have no choice but to leave. i'm sick, i'm just sitting here. you know, you know what my shelling killed a girl in our yard? yes, i was good decided to go with that. we do hope to come back on the la jim said his don't give nuances. meanwhile, the west of ukraine is still seeing russian rockets to these images will reportedly taken after

a missile attack in the city of charts. keefe moscow says that destroyed a large weapon step are there. but for now, russia's focus remains on the don bass region. and while ukrainian forces have stopped the russian advance so far, keith says it needs more help from the west and is renewed. it please. for more heavy weapons are corresponded. nick connelly is in central ukraine in the town of crop. if netscape, this is what he told me earlier about the fighting force, a bitter disk will definitely this battle for soda. the nets has been going on for weeks and many times before you've had metrics, but say that now is the time now the last few days of ukrainian control of sort of the nets. and then we've seen reverses, unfortunately, ukrainians taking a bit more of the town center, moving out from the kind of industrial outskirts where they've been pushed back to . but it does seem that now this is the end almost the end for you. great control on that bank of the river,

and this was ukraine's last biggest outpost on the northern bank of the service given its river crucial defensive feature there. and with the news, the russians have blown up as weaving here and ukraine to day 2 bridges leaving any one connected across the river of sea supplying those ukrainian forces on the other bank will be increasingly difficult if not impossible. and it looks like drain commanders might eventually now take decision to pull back back to the other bank of the river, which is a high bank with kind of cliffs, which is more easily defendable and would allow you crank basically cut its losses and prevent even further human losses, especially situation where they're really having to weigh up every bit of artillery every bit of i mentioned that they use because they're in such a weak position compared to the russians in terms of their resources at their disposal. we've heard from ukrainian sources in last few days that basically their entire supply of pre war, soviet made ammunition is now more or less used up and all they are using now. all

they have the disposal is either soviet caliber missiles and utterly this come from eastern europe, from, from poland, from bulgaria, mother, nature, members, or now nato caliber weapons coming from u. s. the u. k. and others. so basically a very difficult situation now where you cranes that logistics are very, very difficult and crucial basically to them being able to hold on to where they are right now and on. but there is they can leave their reporting from central ukraine. so just how under equipped are the ukrainians at this stage, i put that question to frank lead, which a military analyst and former intelligence officer with the british army. they use thousands of shells every day. it has been since the start and remains essentially an artillery bottle. and the problem they face in artillery bottles is every shell crate is a field or rex. a building doesn't actually have any tactical effect. is a shell, throw it away. so what west is trying to do is give them precision weaponry,

as you said, are running out of the old weapons. ammunition. the thing is, of course, the 2nd weeks now and not getting enough, the amounts are getting. for example, rockefeller strikes deep into the russian logistics. ria, absolutely essential to stop the supply. rushing shells coming forward and strike rush, not in headquarters, the gifts and supplies at western things like insufficient that drop in the oceans . what's required to the point actually be on somewhat derisory, taking rockets out quite a bit of, of weaponry has been promised by the west. why is that weapon re not reaching ukraine faster? right? or some of it isn't, isn't. it hasn't even left the gifting countries yet. that those which have some of it is locked in bottlenecks. there are supply bottlenecks in west ukraine. i understand some of it has been struck by russian rockets rocket attack. so i don't think that's been decisive. and some of it's been eroded away,

treated as it were on the battlefield, as will always happen. because clearly, since we keep telling the russians, of course what we're sending our intelligence off to say, well ok, we've got $98.00, triple 7 out to destroy detroit. how many and 70 left? so we have to start telling what the standing but anyway point is there are problems with the supply chain. but the biggest problem is that the supplies aren't even leaving western orders and sufficient quantities. now there are concerns about war fatigue among western countries, backing ukraine. do you see countries in europe and north america in particular, losing their resolve to help you crane when this war? oh, that's such a such an important question was our one and last, primarily at home, we saw that in iraq for the british americans and the others. we saw it, especially in afghanistan, more recently, the home front here and ukraine is secure. there's no question of ukrainians losing

their result at that strategical political level. but if you said that the real home front is d. c, new york bell in paris, london, that's where the home front is and that's where the result needs to be for. the risk is, of course, of the west getting bored with this, which is pathetic, but nonetheless, untrue. i'm sure i'm, but another thing, russian information operations are hard at work trying to influence us at that strategic level. so now isn't the time for any kind of defeatism. now is the time to press on, give you credit, what they want and show steady. role. steady was all that, that strategic level to ensure that those, that, that home front remains as far as the ukrainian front because a war loss in ukraine is a war loss for the west. we cannot tolerate a failed state with a big army and angry population in europe. it's very, very poor for the future. it would be a disaster for us. frank, thank you very much for your analysis. that was military analyst, frank lead,

which there in oxford. thanks very much indeed. now, some other developments in the war, russia day ceremonies have taken place in some parts of occupied ukraine. military bands paraded in sebastopol in crimea, which moscow annexed in 2014 and russia's national colors, ronco, and maria pole. the port was overrun after nearly 3 months under bombardment. some former mcdonald's restaurants in russia have reopened under a new name, which translates as tasty and that's it. all customers are happy. protester demanding the return of the big mack disrupted the opening ceremony in moscow. mcdonald's closed, it's $850.00 russian out lunch war. you with rushes war heading toward its 5th month on ukraine's port still shot consumers around the world are seeing prices rocket for centrals from bread to vegetable oil. not only that,

much of the most intense fighting is now focused on ukraine's agricultural heartlands in the south and east of the country. the w. nick conley visited a farmer on the front lines near me. call life birdsong and tractors not the only sounds on india even of is 4000 hector's artillery far in the distance, never really stops. but in a d and her team, a preoccupied with other things, the quarter 1000000 look at the suite. it's under fed. it's under love to that, i think but that wasn't for want of trying on ideas, but for most of the crew slowly growing season, she couldn't even get to have fields they were was own fighting is now at least 25 kilometers away. far enough from the d n. her team to get back to feeding the world the glare of the missile fly over our heads towards mc alive over there. we're in the

fields catches fire really easily with all the dry straw. if you do get a direct hit, you could lose hector's to the flames. in a matter of minutes, this unexploded russian missile had dug its way a meter into the ground. to some the ordinance of the russians left behind them. no st. landmines and countless shells. they also took a lot with them from chainsaws to food, even cutlery. the deer is still tilting up the loss. this crop spray the forms, pride and joy that just been bought for more than a quarter 1000000 euros was destroyed, for it could be used. the fed on for the used cars, that bombs, it turns the insides of equipment like this to mid zeal it. it's a mass. see that the spray tank whittled with holes with months of field work missed, and much of her machinery either destroyed or shorter diesel. tedious as this is harvest,

remotest at best unlike the harvest up behind these walls, one with is a 2021, was a recorded across the ukraine, with full grain storage units. almost everywhere. much of the bumper crop hadn't even reached world markets when war broke out in late february. that's because many farmers keep their grain back until prices are highest during the winter months from the t as cases as thousands of tons just more so. the 1st of this is how this bali is just 10 days away from the hilton most homes here. i will barely have any way to put it what that is, that a grain used to be like gold. he could always salad easily. whatever you want it, this is the 1st time ever. we can't get it off our hands again. if you cranes, ports already shut, but also mind la deal with russia to reopen, not on the cards. alternatives from river barges to rail freight, a desperately being sought. but none of them come close to even matching the

capacity and price of transport by sea. even when you have been found trucks now face weeks, long tail back to unload the. now the grain for this form of thousands. like if you go know it's a situation that the dia struggling to pay her work is wages the same time the world desperately wait for the greens she produces. but at least she still producing it all. and when the ports of entry do reopen, they'll be a crop to sell. in spite of mines in the soil and shells overhead. lebanon is just one of the countries to feel the effects of those ukrainian. we'd shortfalls supply shortages in the mediterranean country. mean flowers. now, harder to combine, problem has only added to the woes in lebanon, which is already facing a severe political and economic crisis. cues for bread start early, like at this bakery in the southern part of lebanon's capital bay root. it's baker

mohammed has hardly anything left to sell. bread is becoming scarce in lebanon. the bakers are running out of flower. not that even the pain model that we used, almost all the flour we had today for baking, and i la. so after 2 hours, there is no more bread, not here, nor in the other branches of them, but there is no bread in the supermarket either of time. in fact, this way be less but a marcus motley if here i was, there was a shortage of flower supplies are also running low at wholesalers previously around $25.00 tons were sold every day here. but now wholesale or robbie, i can only deliver up to one time each day and supplies will soon run out. a large part of lebanon's wheat came from ukraine and russia as did sunflower oil. now, new suppliers are urgently needed. almost for the government has to secure loans and find alternatives to ukrainian wheels iranian and we need storage. another problem is that we lost our wheat silos in the explosion that happened at the port

of beirut. there was no longer a place to store wheat or puffy, mikaela that was in love. the devastating explosion in bay roads port almost 2 years ago. not only destroyed the wheat silos, but people's confidence in politics. here, the country is experiencing an economic crisis. the currency is in free fall. food prices have risen by more than 600 per cent bread prices have also multiplied. the world bank has promised lebanon a $1000000.00 loan for wheat, but the money hasn't arrived yet. we are having a very serious concern that if the russia claim closest continues to grow and we import about 80 percent of our wheat from russia and you claim we don't have any national deserves in lebanon. the last bread of the day is coming out of the ovens overseen by the baker mohammed. he doesn't know if he'll have flour again to morrow,

even though russia has supposedly promised to release week deliveries. there is still no sign of them in lebanon. hollowell above philip, we demand a solution for this country where fed up the problem. people are emigrating because it's no longer possible to live here. there's not even bread. i big something with, with a the, and the little bit of flower. it would, it would. now we are to create those, you know, the people of lebanon, fear that very soon. there will simply be no more bread. there's like some other stories making headlines around the world today. china has mast tested millions of residents in central beijing after a new outbreak of covered 19, almost 200 people were infected in a night club prompting schools, restaurants and sports been used to close chinese, maintaining its 0 covered policy with strict measures to keep the virus from spreading truck drivers in south korea are continuing

a week long nationwide strike, which is disrupted cargo shipments. the drivers are demanding minimum rates in the face of soaring fuel prices. negotiations with union leaders and the government have failed so far yield an agreement. police in india have cracked down on muslim protesters following unrest, sparked by anti islam. comments by politicians, officials have demolished houses belonging to demonstrators which they say were built illegally last week, so violent clashes between muslims and hindus. after members of the ruling b, j. p. party made derogatory remarks about the prophet mohammed. supporters of 2 men missing in the amazon are urging brazilian authorities to step up the search. british journalist, dome phillips, and indigenous expert bruno para, were sort of researching deforestation and commercial intrusion in the region. rescue teams found

a backpack and laptop near where they disappeared. us senators from both major parties have agreed to push forward new legislation aimed at reducing gun violence. but the modest measures fall far short of steps called for by anti gun campaigners. several republicans have joined democrats and drafting a proposal which must still go before both houses of congress. it follows another state of mass shootings including one in a texas school were a teenager killed 19 children, and 2 teachers are washington correspondent to me. so misconduct gave us some details on what would actually change of this bipartisan plan goes through. it would do a few things, so it would provide money to states to implement red flag laws. these are that the laws that allow officials to remove guns from someone who is considered a risk. it would also include a background check expanded background check for people who are under the age of $21.00. i want to buy a gun. it would close something that is called the boyfriend loophole. that would

stop. people have been convicted of domestic violence from getting a firearm. it would give money to states to address mental health response. that's something that was important to republicans because they continue to underline that it is mental health behind these shootings and not guns. and it would give money to schools to improve safety as well. so this is a limited package and the details will have to be worked out, but it is being held as an important step forward. french president manuel, my call is expected to keep his parliamentary majority after the 1st round of elections for the national assembly. rejection schumer, con centrist alliance, maintains a narrow lead. however, a new opposition left when coalition has made big gains back on needs to hold his majority, push forward has reform program. the final result will be announced after the 2nd round and voting on june 19th look up the w's paris correspond at lisa lewis says because opponents are putting him under pressure,

this really marks the revival of the french left the left wing alliance could get ever between 150 and 200 seats in parliament compared to about 85 years ago. and at that alliance doesn't even bundle all the left thing parties. however, they were aiming for more. they wanted to get the biggest chair of the seeds. and even though the majority in parliament that is unlikely to happen, come ada are based on the projections that are based on tonights at resides at when you look on the other side of the spectrum, my cause party, the current president's party and is allies. they are likely to get the biggest number of seats in parliament, but again, for them it is, it seems to be a bittersweet, reside. they are obviously aiming for a majority in parliament, but estimates a show that this is not sure actually is not sure that this will happen. they could

get between 255 and 310 seats in parliament in and next week's 2nd round of voting. however, they need at least 289 seats and parliament in order to push through. there are forms and given that the left it made a good score or is likely to make a good score. and next in next week's 2nd round and tonight and the 1st round, it looked like am i my car, the current president needs to take into account that many voters are actually and they, they want more left wing policies. he conscious put in place more market orientated reforms without listening to these people. see that he is lisa lewis. they're reporting from paris out motor sports and max for stopping has won the algebra john graham, pre extending his lead on top of the formula. one standings rebel driver swooped as ferrari's char laclare again failed to finish ferrari. sharla clerk has secured all but to pull positions this season, but

a pole to pole finish wasn't in the car on the streets in baku, in the very 1st turn. red bull, sergio perez overcame locklear perez won the last race and looked set to possibly repeat. ferrari showed size of car trouble early and red bull took advantage. being a good teammate perez, made way for reigning champion, max fish, stop in one lat 15. and then more bad news for ferrari on lat. 21. la clerk managed to get the lead back. but with his engine clearly gone over it was game over. laclare 2nd did not finish after starting in pole. red bulls max fish stop in made good one. ferrari's engine failure to claim his 5th victory this season. red bull have dominated in 2020

to winning all but 2 races. in football, the final 2 spots for the men's world cup in cutter will be filled in the next 2 days with inter continental playoffs. costa rica faced new zealand on tuesday, but before that, australia taking on peru, peruvian shamans have tried to jinx and to which the australian players, by conducting a ritual on a sacred hill in lima. the one off game is being held in cutter. or here to tell us more about these 2 important games is mark meadows from d. w. sports. good. see mark. let's start with australia versus prove. first of all, why is this game happening now? just well with the world cup? barely 6 months away. well, corona virus, basically, i mean the will cook qualification, campaign began in june 2019. then we had the pandemic. lots of games got postponed, so everything's a bit behind. and the only way they could play these games is by playing one off games. normally they would play home and away legs to make it fair,

but that just wasn't time. so they said, hey, let's play one of games in a neutral country kat i'll be in the will co post seem the obvious place to do it. now it's quite tricky on the players because i mean, we saw with ukraine against wales with a one off game just recently. ukraine with a better side, but wales ended up winning. it's also til frustrating and peru because we've already had the world cook draw. normally we know all the teams that are going to be in a will cut before we have the draw because of the time constraints that wasn't possible . so australia improve, know if they win this game. they go into a will cook group in november with will champions, france quite a prospect loss suspense, they're out there. so who do you pick to win in that game? well, prove, got a bit of a political crisis home. the president has been accused of corruption, which he denies. i think the peruvians kind of want a bit of a distraction from that for neutral as well. perhaps kit is quite famous with the red slash. it's quite collectible. but i think australia got a good chance because i've actually been cut off for quite a while. they had to play another playoff against you

a year which they won last week. is that coach gram arnold explaining why think they've got a good chance. you know, we've had it for games overall playing in the new condition state in it. it is a completely different experience than playing in the normal stadium. and there is in a different different types of things as well as when, when you go into go onto the pitch, you know, it's a fact the peru haven't experienced a. ready to us. ok, and then there's another game, costa rica versus new zealand. i understand that the central americans are gearing up for party. the are indeed the government of said that all civil servants can have an extended lunch break on tuesday to be able to watch the game. the game will kick off in cuts our round about mid day time in costa rica. so basically the whole

country is going to grind to a halt. and now they're going to watch the game as the new zealand. well, either a cricket in a ruby nation. normally they have to play teams like solomon islands the g, tahiti, mark meadows. they're from d w. sports, talking to me a short while ago about the big world cup playoffs this week. for we go just a quick look at our top story. ukraine says it's forces are fighting for every meter of east the eastern city of severity than that. but with all that, one bridge out of the city destroyed by russia, civilians are seeking shelter in a chemical plant mit heavy shell like watching dw news from berlin up next sports life. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. ah ah,
