ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. russia tells ukrainian fighters in a spirit, and that's the chemical plant to surrender. but it says civilians will be allowed to leave via the humanitarian corridor as the battle for full control of the city. rage is all falsely coming out, happened to all exams and his fellow captives,

these alleged war crimes. they happened here on the ground when no one could hear the cries, all the blows of the russian soldiers, but not all the crimes that took place in this city. happened on the ground, some happened right up here in broad daylight, dw goes to a ukrainian town that spent a month under russian occupation. and hoff hair from north africa is bringing in early heat wave to spain. temperatures in some places are reaching the highest they've been at this time of year in 40 years. ah. hello m terry martin. good to have you with us. a russian deadline for ukrainian fighters holding out the chemical plant in the eastern city of su, better genetics to surrender has passed. a spokesman for pro russian shepherd,

as in the region, says if they don't lay down their weapons, they will face death. meanwhile, russia says it's establishing a humanitarian corridor to evacuate. an estimated 500 civilians have been sheltering at the plant. it says they will be taken to the russian controlled town of spot double. with all bridges, leading from severe denounced, destroyed, ukrainian troops. now risk being encircled in the city sh t w's roman, gone to ranko in t f. i spoke to him earlier, asked him about the humanitarian corridor offered by russia. whether it was the only option for civilians to leave severe dentist. oh, for most people, yes, the ukranian authority said a few days ago. there is no possibility for evacuation by bridge by land. but some people, but very few numbers could draw and cross the river a sailor's quay. then he asked to the 2 in seat of lease a chance which is on the ukrainian control, but there is heavy shelling and there is a risk for life though. those people who has trapped in this even city of several

don't ask, will try to escape through the russian controlled church, or they will have to go through the so called filtration camps. maybe they will be deported or moved to russia and maybe later, some of them will have, will, will have an opportunity to go to ukraine. like, just like, like we've seen him in the city of mar, you po, a few weeks ago. but generally, the situation is getting worse day by day, hour by hour. and russia has issued a surrender or die ultimatum i to ukrainian troops holding out in severity announced the deadline passed earlier this morning. what can we expect to happen now? i wouldn't expect much. nobody's talking about surrendering to the russian troops. and the situation is very much different from mario pl. i would say, because the ukranian forces are just across the river on the other bank. and they are trying to help those in several than ask they are trying to maybe deliver some

weapons across the river by boats, by small a small ships. maybe some a ukraine enforcers are swimming. but the situation generally is getting worse and ukrainian forces are desperately need more weapons. my weapons from the west to hold the city and i do not exclude that in the coming days, the fighting will intensify and intensify even more. now you're in the capitol, cheer, roman. what's the mood among the residents there? are they confident that russia can be defeated and that ukrainians, territorial integrity can be restored? well, it depends. we talk to most people. i've spoken just say yes, we are confident then we can hold our territory and we can take it back. but we need more weapons from the west and they are coming to slowly. there are 2 things that people hope for one is weapons and the other that the russian army will get tired. they expect that to happen in the coming weeks may be months because the

fighting continues. it's very intense. and both, both sides will need kind of a break. we've seen something like that in early april. and this is what people are hoping for. roman, thank you very much. that was the ws rollin gunshot rancor in cheer. the war in ukraine is not the same conflict that it was 4 months ago. the fighting is now focused on the eastern, on bass region where it's turned into an artillery duel, a slow and costly war of attrition. what kid needs most now are heavy weapons. ukraine has received upwards of 300 artillery pieces from the west, with more than with moral the way. this is the m 777 howitzer. war than a 100. that these have arrived from the united states. they allow ukrainians to shoot farther, and in some places out gun russian forces more than 40 rock multiple rocket launchers have arrived in ukraine from the west. keith is eagerly awaiting delivery

of several of these m $270.00 rocket systems from britain. these can fire much farther than conventional artillery and with greater precision. germany has also promised to supply rocket launchers along with self propelled howitzers like this, and he aircraft guns and service to air missile systems. but we don't know if any of it has been delivered. how much to the prostration of key of smaller countries have been making generous contributions. poland alone has sent more than 230 t 72 tanks, the czech republic, more than 61 armored personnel carriers and 14 fighter jets from bulgaria or in the skies over ukraine. over more, i'm joined now by mike martin. he's a war and conflict researcher and a former british army officer. mike, we just seen an overview of the weaponry the ukraine has received so far. how does that compare to what ukraine actually needs?

hi, good morning. i'm the ukraine government on mondays. just a couple of days ago announced that they need a 2000 all 3 pieces, a 1000 drawings as well, and up to 500 tanks. so the numbers that you quoted that just $200.00 off a piece is making it to ukraine. well, short of that, i think as well, the important thing to consider with artillery is that the logistical requirements for ammunition are huge. it's very possible to fire off the shipping containers by munition, in a very short period of time. now, many native countries are clearly willing to supply ukraine with weapon equipments and munitions. but do these alliance members really have the stocks available to supply ukraine with what it means in terms of artillery pieces

on drugs? yes, they do drugs. you can buy the shells. i'm so that, that easy to get hold of 2 pieces, a 1000 or 3 pieces. well with the stalks of nice members. ammunition, is it probably be a more difficult question, but i would say even that is with the stocks that if you look across the entire nice lines as well with folks available. and what about commercial providers? mike, how much could the arms industry deliver to ukraine and what sort of barriers are there for the industry to do that? well, if we take a country like britain, for example, the military and the defense logistics organizations have very close long standing relationships with industry. indeed, the defense industry used to be government control and it's just now in the private sector. so these long standing relationships are already keyed up, if you like to increase production in a time of war,

such as this. we've been at warner, you crazy dream on. and so what those requests made the industry, the beginning of the war, which i believe they were, that will be starting to come on line. so again, some of these new weapon systems from the west are quite sophisticated. ukrainian troops need special training in order to operate them. that takes time. how does that factor into things strategically? is that you hit the nail on the head? the mac is not necessarily the weapon systems in the training. so previously in the complex ukraine was asking for the weapons and these you can deliver these literally in a suitcase or a box, and you can read the instruction manual and then the trips can use them on a completely different ordinarily we would expect take like 6 months to try the crew and artillery pace. obviously that's unrealistic. now,

the training courses are being reduced down to a week or 10 days. but that means that ukrainian troops have to be taken out train in some i live, poland or even in britain. and then those ukrainians go back to you know, become trainers of the ukrainian troops. so as you know, at least a 2 week or a one month lag in getting those systems is operational on the phone line. mike, thank you very much for talking with us for your insights. that's military analysts like martin now ukrainian forces have managed to push back russian troops from several areas. and it's in those areas were more than $15000.00 suspected cases of war. crimes are being investigated from mass graves and butcher to heartbreaking testimonies from towns like european and borrowed younger, the number is growing. trust jeanette's is a town in northern ukraine, spent a month under russian occupation. it abused rebecca ritters went there and for herd

1st hand from residence the trust in yet train station, or what's left of it for more than a month, russian troops used it as their headquarters. it was from here, alex on to tells me that they carried out some of their crimes. whenever the wall is here, they will be right where we are going. mom shall go. that's really going to move. we do move them on like santa an auto mechanic says the russians came in the night and pulled him straight out of bed. some towns, men he says, were killed on the spot. but he and a handful of others were brought down here into the station's basement, federal or to those i was sitting right in this guy know who was beaten. there are for sure with us. that's and this was painted by another guys blood. his head was smashed with the butt of a gun, and his hands were tied behind his back. he tried to get up and left blood marks.

that man survived for this video shows his body and maybe his mind were badly scarred. the fate of some fellow prisoners is unknown, barely proposed lieutenant governor of the ukrainian army was brought. you beat him, badly interrogated him beat him again and they took him somewhere and he never came back. i don't know where he is there looking for him. what happened to alexander and his fellow captives, these alleged war crimes. they happened here under ground when no one could hear their cries or the blows of the russian soldiers. but not all the crimes that took place in this city happened on the ground. some happened right up here in broad daylight. the laws of war prohibit attacks on civilians and torture, as well as attacks on hospitals should deal with him. there was a direct heat from a tank or

a position there and was shooting at us. and our shifts over the hospitals, director says the russians knew what they were doing. last name. i also have no explanation for this bumble i will take away with scully. clogging one of mobility . there was a big hospital sign. you had a big white flag but, but the red cross reform, but it didn't matter to them at all. millennia was lurching her. dr. shifts over says the 2 nights before the russians left trust units with the worst. the hospital was pounded without stop. the patients and doctors were forced to take refuge under ground. bookman adroitly wicked down you little, she remembers that a baby was born. the sick and wounded continued to receive treatment. many people prayed. it was for one thing, there is gordon this world. there is justice. kindness will prevail some day. we will never forgive them for this lesson, for our tears, for the little children were carried alden our arms, this women with tears in their eyes, that grandmothers who cried here,

you have to pay for everything in this life. they will pay too. they will. that's what it dr. shifts over says there's no way or time to extract vengeance. only time to rebuild. but the people of trust in nets will never forget. tensions between moscow and europe over ukraine continued to put pressure on the energy sector. russian energy giant gas prompts as its slashing daily gas deliveries to germany by the north stream. pipeline says it's waiting for german partner, siemens to return equipment. it had sent for repair. energy giant gas prom is giving germany the cold shoulder. the kremlin own company is slashing its gas supply volume by nearly 40 per cent. now instead of the previous 167000000 cubic meters per day, only $100000000.00 will flow to the nordstrom one pipeline gas prom blames missing compressor units from german company, siemens. however,

siemens energy is not allowed to supply the parts because of sanctions against russia. nord stream, one is the main supply pipeline. since 2011, the pipeline has been bringing gas from vi borg and russia to look mean in northern germany. the nord stream to pipeline runs parallel. it was nearly up and running, but then russia invaded ukraine. in response, germany halted the project. and as a countermeasure, the em all europe pipeline is no longer being supplied by russia. since the start of the war, russian natural gas applies to europe have significantly decreased. this is in part because of sanctions against moscow. and because you countries refuse to adhere to a new rule by russia, demanding payments to gas prom in rubles despite the gas pol announcement, the german ministry of economic affairs says supply is guaranteed. and gas storage facilities are well supplied. not only for private households,

but also for industries that depend heavily on gas, but the prices have become noticeably more expensive. and the german government is also taking a former gas prom subsidiary. under its long term control. germany, we'll give it a 10000000000 euro bailout gas prom germania controls, a substantial share of gas storage and gas pipeline networks throughout europe. now, small, the stories related to the war in ukraine. russia has banned 29 british journalists and 20 people linked to the u. k defense industry from entering the country. moscow says the staff is response to what it called, biased reporting on the ward, ukraine, and fueling of russia. russia opium in british society. european commission president ursula funder lion is in israel for talks with prime minister and up charley bennett. they hoped to step up energy cooperation under lions,

said russia is blackmailing europe over energy and the continent urgently needs alternative suppliers. israel is exploring various avenues to transport gas to your operate on food security and u. k. has canceled its 1st deportation flight to rwanda, which was set to take off on tuesday evening. the flight was cancelled after the european court of human rights intervened ruling that asylum seekers could face a real risk of irreversible harm if they were sent. their cancellation is seen as a blow to the government of prime minister boris johnson, who insisted the deportations would go ahead. the w burgess mass has more from london. the government has really been put under spots and a lot of publicly in the last days we've had foreign secretary list trust saying that it's not the, it's not the policy. that's a moral, but it's actually that people smugglers, it's there is people who help other people across the channel in bates and that

costs lies. and she says, this is necessary as a deterrent because britain wants to be seen as a country that is not well coming of t t to do that. so many people that they want to create in an old town that was used years ago, a kind of hostile environment, at least towards what they call illegal migrants. now the people that are crossing the channel, ah, people that's usually has ties time that he ties britain and they want to come to the u. k. but they're hoping basically to make it very, very attractive the u. k. as a country because people who, who are coming in this way, who are crossing by the channel, they off now facing the possibility of being deported to rhonda. you're watching d. w news still to come a controversial kiss. in the new movie about buzz lightyear has gone the movie band

new movie light year is out this week starring the beloved toy story character, buzz lightyear. but the movie won't be shown everywhere. it has been denied release in more than a dozen, mainly muslim countries. and it's unlikely to open in china after disney refuse to cut a scene that shows to women sharing a kiss was what your mission long started. 39 of the world's most famous toy astronaut is back buzz lightyear. he's a go who are you talk to? no one. you are narrating again. i was not, but the buzz is all about his sidekick alisha. his palin partner, who seen in the film kissing her girlfriend. that's why more and more countries are refusing to show the film model. but the studio and it's stars stand by the lesbian romance, including actor chris evans, the voice of buzz light. you. it's great that we are a martin, something that making steps board in the social inclusion capacity. but it's,

it's frustrating that there's still places that that aren't where they should be fried one minute. i feel feel proud for the rest of my life. we don't have to think, oh wow, we did. it is not weird is normal and it should be normalized. why don't they answer? plate your is a prequel to pixar, is toy story. it's about time travel and friendship with same sex romance playing a small part. but one that pixar as parent company, disney says, is not negotiable, 7 months. why i know that we've done requests for things to quite, i'm dizzy, isn't going to modify them. well, we're not gonna cut out anything, especially something as important as loving and isn't the relationship with you. and that means this time viewers in several countries will be missing, buys you infiniti, and beyond, who are clear. 5, along with

join out by david levitz from d w culture who prepared that report that we just saw. good to see you david. up. so like you're the film, it's been banned in over a dozen countries are in the middle east and asia. what about china? huge market for disney will. that is the big question right now for disney, specifically, because china is such a huge market. and until now, disney has been very happy to quietly self censor. it's films to market them to china and to other authoritarian countries, and not just disney by the way, many hollywood studios do this. they, they cut out little bits that don't fit with those countries. sensors, this time is different. disney, pixar is really taking a stance on keeping this brief lesbian kiss in the film white year. and it comes after picks our employees pendle letter saying that they had seen time and time again. same sex affection cut out of their films and that they weren't going to

stand for it again. so massive pressure from within the company. so you're saying that the, the disney is taking bit of a stand it, could this be a sign of the times then for disney cars should we expect to see more l g, b, t, q characters and relationships and disney fields? i think we will more and more, and that's just the way that the times are shifting. but one reason is also that this has become such a political hot topic and so polarized, particularly within the u. s. disney for a long time has been known as a gay, friendly company, but it's also wanted to market to everyone, including people and countries that weren't gay, friendly and now it's become such a polarized topic in the us, particularly the politics of, for example, florida as governor, rhonda sanders, who people are seeing as the next trump with his don't say gay was disney came under a lot of pressure to take a stance against those which it did. and now the question is, are they going to stick by that? or, you know, are these things going to be negotiable again in the future when they want to do business with china? our saudi disney is theme park guy taking

a hit for not for not adapting to the governor's preferences there. now the lesbian kiss in the film i understand is very brief. the film does not revolve around that kiss. if disney is out to make a point on l g, b, g q writes, why this way? where i think a lot of the rights activists would say, you know, the job is not done until we have a gay and lesbian prince and princess the main characters. but i think that there is something very powerful about the subtlety of this case. and whether you're someone like me who thinks that algebra teacher plus representation is great. and wonderful, and important, or someone who thinks this is brainwashing children. it is very powerful because it's so normal, it is not the main topic. it's not. it's not the main story line. it's not a big drama. it's just 2 people who love each other, sharing a kiss. and if you're a child watching that, that's the message you get, this is normal. david,

thank you so much. david levitz from d w culture. or we go just a quick look at the top story. we're following for you this. our russia is told ukrainian fighters holding out to chemical plants. the eastern city of submit are denounced to surrender. also says it's establishing a humanitarian corridor to evacuate. an estimated 500 civilians have been sheltering at the assault chemical plant. you're watching the w news from berlin up next eco india looks at making public toilets accessible to all. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. mm hm. ah, with
