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 chanced ukraine is scrambling to evacuate residence. many there think it's now time to get out before it's too late . the sun, a little author when we have no choice but to leave and sick of discipline here, you know, you know what, i shall in kill the girl in our yard. yes, i was quick decided to go with that. we do hope to come back. well, again, said his on his own system. 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 dawn best region. and while ukrainian forces have

stopped the russian advance so far, keith says it needs more help from the west and it's renewed. it's please for more heavy weapons. learned i put a 2 d. w correspondent, rebecca richard, that the situation for the ukrainians in the loo. hans regent was looking increasingly desperate. yeah, well, it is gerhard. that's a very accurate. so the situation has been as ever, and annette brother has been at the epi center of this battle in the dumbass for some time. now i've read a very slow moving war of attrition with russia early at managing to push forward ever so slightly. as you heard there president, the lanky saying that they're really battling street for street inch by inch in that city. though it is looking pretty clear that rationale whole almost the entirety of several done yet. and in fact, and only one small pocket. as that report mentioned, of a chemical font that people, ukraine is still in control of their around about 500 civilian hiding there. and

there are a couple of 100 ukrainian soldiers as well. now, russia overnight also as you just reported, destroyed at one of the last remaining evacuation roots out of several in it's making it virtually impossible for anyone to get out. you can't are trying to set up humanitarian corridor. but at this, at this stage that hasn't been successful. so the situation they're particularly at that chemical plot which has been continuously bombarded is a very diet for all the civilians. are you on this southern region the, the region of michael i of as i understand us strategically important part of the country, tell us about the situation there. well, i'm about 160 kilometers away from make alive the situation where i am right now is calm at the moment and make alive itself. there is shelling going on there, but the frontline has been pushed back. ukraine has managed to push back russia in

a small counter, attentive, at some distance away from mecca. lived on making life is a key, see, and it is on the route to odessa, which is another key port city in the south that russia desperately want to control all the way to the western side of moldova, or the western countries, moldova. so trying to move through, make alive, but actually being pushed back, being held back still at this stage by ukrainian forces. there is shilling, of course, an air raid sirens last night. there were several air raid sirens overnight, but at this stage they're struggling to move forward. here in the south, now the governor of the eastern region of lou hands to say you friday and 5 is running out of an initial present as a lensky imploring needs to speed up weapons deliveries. is this still a sense among ukrainian says that the west the west is having their back yes and. 1 no, i mean,

i think really the situation here is such that they are running out of weapons. they've been saying that for some days now, weapons and ammunition and just desperately needed. are they saying that without them they simply will not be able to win this war? and the pace of them arriving in this country isn't anywhere near as fast as it needs to be, according to president jalencia ukrainian side. so they are increasingly frustrated with the amount and the caliber of weapons that are arriving. there are also issues of course, with the ones, some of the ones that do arriving to being stored. sometimes they also get shelled or bombed by russian pulses and then of course can't be used. so the situation is it's becoming increasingly di with the weapons. and i'm afraid that everyone here is worried. they basically said me, people have been telling me that without the west there's no way to win, but they worry that it's going to be too little too late at this stage. the 1st one is rebecca, just then southern you find thank you. concerns growing about war fatigue in the west?

could europe and north america be losing their resolve to help you grant? we put that question to frank leverage a military analyst and former intelligence officer with the british army was our one and lost 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 as you said, 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 on true, 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 kind of what they want and show study results. study was all that,

that strategic level to ensure that those, that, that home front remains as far as the ukrainian front. because a wall awesome ukraine is a wall last for the west. we cannot tolerate a failed state with a big army population in europe. it's very, very poor for the future. it would be a disaster for us, frank. leverage them. the stockholder international peace research institute or c pre says the wealth supply of nuclear weapons is likely to increase in the coming decade. that's according to a new report that's out today. it says the stock of nuclear war has actually decreased from last year to this. but this was due to dismantling old warheads taken out of military service. it was said that nuclear on states have increased their role of the role of nuclear weapons in their military strategies, and called it a very boring trend. and this is what matt called

a research at c p. i to say about nuclear countries shift to increasing their stockpiles. this nuclear signaling that president has been using over the past few weeks and months has really brought this issue of nuclear use back into the public consciousness. and it's causing, i think, a lot of other nuclear arms states to, you know, think about their own nuclear strategies, potentially adjusting them, adjusting the way that they talk about nuclear weapon. i think at the very nice we're going to see that it's going to be very difficult to make progress on disarmament over the coming years because of this war. and because of how, talking about his nuclear weapons, we've had since the end of the cold war, this, this trends, right? this general trend of, you know, war had slowly going down, right in arsenals. and i, suddenly we're seeing this reverse right? where a lot of different countries, right? not, not just, you know, countries like russia, but increasingly, you know, we're seeing china, india, pakistan, north korea also now as of, as of this year,

the united kingdom. right suddenly kind of changing course and, and quite dramatically increasing the sizes of their nuclear stock aisles. michael, speaking that now with russia's war, heading towards its 5th month and ukraine's ports still shot consumers around the world, are seeing prices rise for some everyday essentials from breads to vegetable oil. not only that, much of the most intense fighting is now focused on ukraine's agricultural hot lands in the south and east. the w. 9 commonly visited a farmer on the font lines near mc alive, birdsong and tractors, look the only sound salenti even of is 4000. take this artillery far in the distance, never really stops. but in a d and a team, a preoccupied with other things. that's what i'm going to look at the suite. it's under fed. it's under love to that. but that wasn't for want of trying on the d. s,

but for most of the crew slowly growing season, she couldn't even get to her fields. they were a war zone. 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. which 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 sight landmines and countless shells. they also took a lot with them from chainsaws to food, even cutlery. deer is still tilting up the losses. this crops spray the forms, pride and joy that just been bought for more than

a quarter 1000000 euros was destroyed before it could be used. thus far down from the use cosette bombs. it turns the insides of equipment like this to mid zeal it. it's a must see that the spray tank whittled with holes with months of field work missed and much of a machinery either destroyed or shorter diesel. tedious as this is harvest, the modest at best unlike the harvest up behind these rules. one with is a 2021, was a recorded across the ukraine, with full grain storage units, almost everywhere. much 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. uniformity is casen to past thousands of tons, just more. so the 1st of this is how this bali is just 10 days away. i'm from the

hilton most homes here. i will barely have any way to put it with a grain used to be like gold. he could always salad easily. whatever you want. it is the 1st time ever. we can't get it off our hands again. you cranes, ports already shut. but also mind la deal with russia to reopen, not in 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. and now grain from this form of thousands like it. you know, it's a situation is left, the dia struggling to pay her work is wages at the same time, the world despite the weight for the grains she produces. but at least she still producing it all. and when the ports, when she do reopen, they'll be a crop to sell. in spite of mines in the soil and shells overhead, let's have

a look now. it's has some other world news in brief police in india have tracked down on muslim protesters following unrest, sparked by anti islam. comments by some politicians. officials have demolished houses belonging to demonstrated saying they were built illegally last week, so violent classes between muslims and hindus of the members of the ruling b. j. p. party made some the wrong derogatory remarks about the prophet mohammed truck drivers in the south korea. continuing a week long nationwide strike, which has disrupted cargo shipments. the drivers are demanding minimum rights of the face of soaring fuel prices. negotiations with union leaders and the government have fails to yield any agreements. the united nations human rights commission, i michelle bush let says she will not seek a 2nd term and will leave office in august. the former president of chilly faced

criticism after visiting china last month of rights groups called for her to resign for not speaking out more forcefully against china's abuses of it's a weaker minority and talking about china, government spokesman, there has described a new spike of coven 19 cases in beijing as explosive millions of residents phase mandatory testing after the outbreak was traced back to a nightclub, their school shops and restaurants in the district have been closed. an infected person was at the club thursday, and now authorities link $166.00 new cases to that venue. beijing is back to mandatory testing and targeted locked downs for residents of the city. it's a major blow. many were hoping for a gradual return to normal theme after restrictions on indoor dining and other measures that were lifted just a week ago. but

a cove at 19 outbreak trees to the popular heavens, supermarket bar has authority scrambling to contain a further spread of the virus. yo, yo yo, that i am a little bit worried. the whole lots of places and communities. so need to be supervised. now through the over the course, people went to that bar. so i am quite worried when polymer holes, we rose with us about 10000 close contacts of the bars. patrons have been identified and their residential buildings put under locked down. the re emergence of infections highlights how hard it will be for china to succeed in it's 0 code policy. this approach is come with considerable economic costs for china, while other countries shift to learning to live with the virus. of a closer look at this, i'm not joined by the w correspondent, clifford coolant, who's lived in and reported from china for many, many years. it,

i understand that you have actually been to this heaven supermarket. what is the amount is the borrow mixture of both. what kind of place is it? well it's, it's a very trendy place in sandy to district, which is one of the sort of the nightclub areas of town. and it looks like a supermarket and people get beer from fridges and then they go pay for it. and then behind there's areas where lots of people are sitting on couches falling asleep around midnight. it's a very packed area. in fact, if anywhere was going to be a super spreader venue, it would be somewhere like the heavens supermarket bar. so busy, very easy to, to catch that virus that, that, but people in china not only worried about the virus, and this, this new outbreak. they are also worried about further locked down more pressure on, on everyday lives. what's the human, an economic cost of the, china's very strict 0 cove. it policy. i think this is very clear economic costs. maybe just start with that. you know, in that it's, it's,

it's holding back the economy. we saw this lengthy lockdown in shanghai, which is not points off the economic growth there. and we're going to possibly see something of that like that happening now in the capital in beijing, which is what people were worried about like and like we had in the piece. but also if you think about the psychological impact, this must, must be having. i mean, given that, you know, we're in this living with the virus kind of mode in europe and the west. now, this often feels a bit like the start of the virus. you know, you have a particular night of being a super spreader and every panicking and things like that. so it must be having a terrible psychological told on people there. i'm going to keep, keep this up, this, this, this 0 corporate policy. well, this is the thing i'm in the w h o has said that it isn't sustainable. everyone the things sustainable, but because it's got to some very important political dimension to it, the, the government has to stand by it. now having introduced, having said that, it's policies are better than the west policies. it's very difficult to start rolling it back. certainly in a very public kind of way. so if it doesn't work, what's the political cost then for the government?

well, she's paying has, as really put a lot into this, he's facing into a big meeting about where he's going to really cement his leadership in november. and this is going to be a big factor in that. i think he really needs to show that this will be a success. i expect to come as parties hoping that things just ease off. i mean, we're still talking about a very small number of cases. and i, i expect that they're hoping that they will continue to windows so that ultimately by this important party congress in november that he will be able to present, present the world with a when resident china watch a clip with soon. and thank you very much, live o the u. s. senators from both major parties have agreed to push forward new legislation aimed at reducing gun violence, bought the modest measures for far shorter 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 if it follows another space of

mos shooting, including one in texas where a teenager killed 19 children. 2 teachers in the school was now washington correspondent. so mister misconduct gave us some details on what would actually change if this bipartisan plan go through. they 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 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. so miss almost under reporting
