a breakthrough in the u. s. on gun control, 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 by ah hello, i'm terry martin. welcome to the program. ukrainian president blood amuse lensky says his troops are engaged in fierce fighting for every single meter of the city of subordinates. ukraine says russia has destroyed all but one bridge out of the city, leaving few options for any one hoping to leave. shatter networks together with neighboring losers. hunks are the last main areas in la hans province, not already under russian 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 favor, 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 was trying to pound the city along with neighboring lucy chanced into submission with heavy artillery. ukraine's president flora means zalinski says rusher is throwing everything into the battle to what the deal key prize key tactical goal has not changed. they are pressing into shiver. jeanette, ask severe fighting is going on there. literally, every meter local officials say russian forces have blown up a bridge linking several than as quickly as he chanced, cutting off

a crucial evacuation route for civilians. in lucy, chance ukraine is scrambling to evacuate residence. many there think it's now time to get out before it's too late. the thought a little after we had we have no choice but to leave. i'm sick of discipline here. here, here with my shelling, killed a girl in our yard. yes, i was quick decided to go with that. we do hope to come back. well again, that historian, josefina. 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. keith, moscow says that destroyed a large weapon step are there. but for now, russia's focus remains on the dawn beth's 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, it'll be as nic conley as in central ukraine in the town of crop has been nit sky. this is what he told me earlier about the fight force event in ask well, definitely this battle for soda. the nets has been going on for weeks and many times before you've had metrics, but saying that now is the time now the last few days of ukrainian control of several of the nets, then we've seen reverses in fortune the 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 ukrainian control on that bank of the river. 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 ukraine

commanders might eventually now take decision to pull back, pull 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 to 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 weaker position compared to the russians in terms of their resources at their disposal. we've heard from ukrainian sources in the 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 at the disposal is either soviets, caliber missiles and artillery. this come from eastern europe, from poland, from bulgaria, mother, nature, members, or now nato caliber weapons coming from the us, the u. k. and others. so basically, a very difficult situation now, where you cranes, the logistics are very, very difficult and crucial basically to them being able to hold on to where they are right now and on. but it be as nic conley,

they're reporting from central ukraine. so just how under equipped are the ukrainians at this stage, i put that question to prank 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 create as a field or rex. a building doesn't actually have any tactical effect. is a shell, throw it away. so what the west is trying to do is give them precision weaponry. as you say, they're running out of the old build weapons ammunition. the thing is, of course, several weeks now and not getting enough. the amounts are getting, for example, of rocket artillery strikes, deep into the russian logistics rear. absolutely essential to stop the supply of russia. shells coming forward and strike russian artillery headquarters, the gifts and supplies at west events like insufficient that drop in the ocean's.

what's required to the point actually beyond that, somewhat derisory, taken rockets out and quite a bit of weaponry has been promised by the west. why is that weaponry not reaching ukraine faster for 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 and 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 was standing. but anyway, the 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 that 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 especially in afghanistan, more recently the home front here and you're trying to secure there's no question of ukrainians losing their result at that strategical political level. but if you said that the real hope front is d. c, new york, berlin, 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. another thing, russia, information operations are hard at work trying to influence us at that strategic

level. so now isn't the time for any kind of out defeatism. now is the time to press on, give the credit what they want and show steady. role. steady was all that, that strategic level with sure that those that, that home front remains as far as the ukrainian front. because a war loss of ukraine is a war last for the west. we cannot tolerate a failed state with a big army 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. there's a look at a couple of other stories making headlines around the world today. china has mass tested millions of residents in central beijing after new outbreak of coping 19, almost 200 people were infected at a night club prompting schools, restaurants, and sports venues. to close. china is maintaining its 0 coded policy with strict

measures to keep the bi virus from spreading. and french president emanuel mark on is struggling to keep his parliamentary majority after elections for the national assembly result show. his coalition is lost votes and is coming in almost equal to a new left wing and green lions, led by john luke melanie, shawn. the final results will be decided in a 2nd round voting next weekend. you, as you get us senators from most 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 in drafting the proposal, which must still go before both houses of congress. it follows another spate of ma shootings including one in a texas school were a teenager killed 19 children, and 2 teachers are washington correspondence to me. some

a scandal gave us some details on what would actually change if 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 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 and 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 of 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 still have to be worked out, but it is being held as an important step forward. football now in the panel to sports for the men's world cup in counter will be filled in the next 2 days with

inter continental playoffs. costa rica faced new zealand on tuesday, but before that, australia are taking on peru, peruvian shamans of tried to jinx and bewitched. the australian players by conducting a ritual on a sacred hill in lima. 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 fairly 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 in a way, 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 are being the wilco 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 too frustrated in 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 drawing 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. lot of suspense. they're out there. so who do you pick to win and that, yeah, 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. peruse, kit is quite famous with the red slash, it's quite collectible. but i think australia got a good chance because they've actually been cut off for quite a while. they had to play another playoff against u e, which they won last week. here's their coach, gram arnold, explaining why think they've got a good chance you know,

we've had 5 games. ready old play in an air condition stadium in guitar. it's, 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 a when, when you go into go onto the pitch, you know, it's a fact the peru haven't experience at all yet. i only see some events to us. ok. and then there's another game of costa rica versus new zealand. i understand that the central americans are gearing up for a 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 will have to be there a cricket in a rugby nation. normally they have to play teams like solomon islands, fiji,

tahiti, or meadows from d w. sports. they're talking to me a little earlier about the big world cup playoffs this week. this is dw news from berlin coming up next, we've got a documentary film for you showing how poverty and adoptions can result in child slavery in me on martin. and don't forget, you get all the latest news and information any time you want her to website. that's d, w dot com for me and all of us here at the w. thanks for watching. ah, 175 years ago. start up entrepreneur at a specific goal. 1 build the best article instruments in the world size.
