like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. the history of anti semitism starts july 2nd on d, w ah ah . this is dw news live from berlin, ukraine's president says his country faces a historic week followed the mirrors, the landscape warns that russia will likely intensify its attacks against his country. this comes as to european union prepares to enhance its decision on

ukraine's application for membership. french voters deliver a stinging blow to president emanuel my call. just weeks after he was re elected as president. he loses his majority in the national assembly as leftist and far right parties surge. placing his reform agenda in doubt and an african icon begins the journey home. belgium holds a ceremony to hand over the remains of patrice lumber to his family more than 6 decades after the congo congolese leader was assassinated. ah, i'm pabo felice. welcome to the program. follow demerits zelinski. i says other european countries have begun. what he called cert, that ukraine has begun, what he calls a his star week with fighting raging in the don boss. the ukranian president has

predicted that russia will likely intensify its attacks in the coming days. his warning comes as key awaits a landmark decision from european union leaders on it's paid for candidate status. well, that's listening to what zalinski had to say. what shall, in the short of this week, we should expect greater hostile activity from russia and the earth against you. crane but also against other european countries. li, angel. we are preparing milk. we are ready and well dw correspondent rebecca richards is in keith. and i asked her if there was any indication of what we can expect from russia. well, as you heard it there from president lensky, he believes that we could see, arise in hostilities, both here in ukraine, but also in europe. now, i suppose what he's really talking about there here is of course, an intensification of attacks on the battlefield and also in other cities. you know,

we know that when a u. n. chief and having a terrors, good harris excuse me. visited keith, there was a bomb attack here, you know, many people suspecting that that was a little signal from president putin or from russia. and that when they were kind of expecting something similar when the 3 e u leaders came and visited last week. but so far, nothing like that has happened so prisoners zaleski wanting that this week is obviously important week ahead of that vote for candidate status in the you council . and that president putin or russian soldiers, russian forces could try and intensify attacks here on the ground. but also that they might try and put pressure on europe or, you know, try and use what they can and what they have at their, at their disposal is of course the gas supplies. and we have seen them turning off, or at least slowing down the flow of gas to some european countries. you're heavily raising the prices for those countries. so that's really one of the main tools at their disposal and prisoners, lensky wanting that,

that potentially this could be the week when things start to happen. they're rebecca, moscow is claiming that the ukranian army herds suffered heavy losses. what keeps saying? well, they don't often confirm or deny what the russian military puts out in their statements. yesterday. they came out and said that they had a successful attack on a, on a meeting of army generals ukrainian army general, that they were 50, superior general, killed in that attack. they also said that they had successfully bombed a warehouse with about about 10, how it sits in them. now, i mean, that hasn't been independently verified. you can certainly hasn't come out to confirm that. but he does say more likely, it seems likely that 50 it's a period general would be in one place at one time. and of course, all those weapons told him the same place. i mean, they generally split up for this very reason that they can't be attacked in one single shot. so you know that the, sorry, russian army saying that they've killed hundreds about 450 ukrainian soldiers today

. but we think huge losses on both sides. and let's not forget that this is an information war, both sides trying to boost morale for their side. they domestic audiences in this fight. rebecca ritter's in keys thank top ukraine officials say they need a massive increase of military hardware if they're to drive russian forces out of their country. right now. western allies have supplied ukraine with just over 100 highway answers. only 110th of what ukraine says. it needs and no rocket launchers of arrived, even though ukraine has asked for $300.00 of them. he w nakedly reports from the front lines in the southern mich alive region where ukrainian forces are making some advances. despite a shortage of equipment. russia may be making gains in the don't best, but it's a different story here. 600 kilometers to the southwestern mich alive, ukraine is pushing russian forces out of villages like these. closing in on the

russian occupied city of harrison. b, ukrainian commanders where their advance could run out of steam be stopped, or even reversed. after more than a 100 days of relentless fighting, their supplies, weapons, and ammunition running dangerously low notice. but we meet victor and his crew some way behind the front lines and will broke out. they were all working abroad. all of them decided to give up their lives in safety, in poland and germany, to return home to fight. victor found the little had changed since his time to recruit and the soviet army decades earlier. that our 13 can 1st the so this how it is just old, is it it's way past his prime little you we be making the most of it, but what can you expect from a weapon built almost 50 years ago? it's much like i'm working with the mozilla since i started to duplicate of replacing it to something new and more powerful is of the cards for now. but even

carrying on fighting as they have been in recent months be a challenge. ukraine supplies of soviet ammunition are almost exhausted. western produced shells on compatibility with russian missile strikes, a constant threat, producing weapons inside the country is near impossible. even ukraine playing for time while it waits. both western artillery and the shells to go with it. north furniture for what we have cues of people wanting to sign up to fight roughly . but we have more than the army can take on. it was a problem, but we just don't have enough weapons to equip every one who wants to fight richard . a former bullet not of judge, knew me personally, will come of it. it was live with an army. ukraine is in europe's very own interest . victor tells us, he just can't understand why this seems to be so little urgency with little ones that are what are the 3 were of, were fighting for all of you are p other for sure? ball to groom putin won't be satisfied with taking ukraine in the dinner. if he

winks here, he'll carry on an attack. are those fema where you can be there? laser sort of where the growth with ukraine is already paying a high price for being out, gunned with daily casualties running at several $100.00 a day or 2. possibly, victor tells us of a call. he had to make recently informing the parents of the youngest member of their unit. then 19 year old son had been killed 2 weeks after he got to the front lines. he doesn't want to make many more clues like that, and he's convinced western weapons leon. so in france, voters have delivered president emanuel mack law, a major setback. his coalition has lost its governing majority in parliamentary elections. results show mccullin's block will still emerge with the biggest number of seats in the new national assembly. but without the 289 seats needed for a majority, the french leader may have trouble enacting his reform agenda. when french

president a minute my cross cast his vote on sunday. this clearly wasn't the result. he was hoping for. newspapers were clear on the scale of the sat back calling it a cold shower and even a slap in paris. some voters seemed uncertain that mackerel would be able to put together a governing coalition. this is rebecca. we'd like to see how he could, frankly constitute majority with my recovering a few left wing and right wing and tease frankly can't work. it's impossible that of amateur, unlikely to provide micro with any support is the new pan left alliance snoops led by veteran left is john movement and show his coalition is set to become the biggest opposition grouping in parliament corporation with marine la pens far right . national rally, which surgeon to 3rd place when the 11 fold increase in seats is also not on the

cards for macro. that leaves the conservatively republican party as the likely partners, but they're also adamant that they'll stay in opposition with on the sit on issue with no clear path forward in parliament. france could well be set for political gridlock. but one thing is certain for the man who once compared his own top down governing style to the roman god, jupiter sunday's result represents a crushing return to us for doing tito easily. st. louis is in paris and i asked her what the loss of the absolute majority in parliament means for president michael. well, it will be incredibly difficult. this is a major setback for him. i call polls were predicting that he might lose that hit his majority in parliament. but for these polls also showing that he should get more sees that than what he got. now he's more than 40 feet short of

a majority. he will have to compose with political forces on the right on the left, and try to find a compromise on a case by case basis. really. and certain reforms that he has been planning might not be able to get pushed through such as the pension reform way you want to push up the pension h from 62 to 64 or 65. and that is now all up in the air. now lisa does micron have to govern in this situation? and for the next 5 years he has a choice between trying to govern or he can also actually solve the national assembly. now there is a discussion on going between constitutional experts. if he has to wait a year or a k, he can actually sell the national assembly right away. but dissolving, it also bears the risk that at the result might actually even be worse for him. so

he might in the 1st place, and that's what i'm hearing here. try to find a solution with the current result. possibly form a governing block with the center right party the center right party later because it's going to split a regarding this question. but i think the government is trying to find a solution to set up a stable majority, nonetheless, in parliament, in the coming days. lisa, are we going to see any change, of course, with regards to foreign affairs, foreign policies, i say normally at the president's domain, he can decide by himself unless a law is needed. and that is the case if he, for example, wants to change treaties, treaties on international trade, for example. then he will have to go to parliament and get the go ahead with a law that is vague it through. but in general, it still the president that will be negotiating on an international level with the

leaders. oh, with ne, to for example. however, he will certainly be slightly distracted by chaos that, hey mo, by at least a difficult situation in, in france here in parliament in the coming 5 years. dw correspondent lisa lewis in paris. thank you. here's a roundup of other stories making use this our monsoon storms and bangladesh of kills at least 25 people. millions have been left stranded and homeless, severe rains pound the countries northeast. the army has been called in to carry out evacuations and very water and food to the needy. serious defense ministry says 13 people have died in an attack on a bus in northeastern rocket province. the civilian vehicle was carrying government soldiers, human rights activists blame, so called islamic state. the extremist group was defeated in 2019, but sleeper cells still operate in parts of the country. former

a gorilla fighter who staff of petro has won columbia's presidential election in a landmark victory. he said to become the country's 1st leftist leader. after narrowly defeating millionaire and former mayor was also under. petro has vowed to launch wide reaching social and economic reforms. belgium is returning the remains of patrice lumber at the icon of con goes anti colonial movement to his family. and official ceremony is underway in brussels. it's believed a single tooth was all that was recovered of his body following his assassination in 1961. the member was congos 1st prime minister after it gained independence the year before. while this report from christine wilma, now looked at, am the life and legacy of patrice him over? in this art studio in brussels, stands one of the greatest figures of the african independence movement this larger

than life size. statue of patrice lumber is a tribute to him from the congolese community in belgium. lamar played a significant role in the transformation of the congo from a belgian colony, into an independent republic, at with the moon, baffled foul to freedom of his country. and he was killed for that. and the country never really recovered from that love until to day. patrice remember, became the congress 1st. prime minister, afterward gained independence in 1960, but he was only in office for a few months before he fell out with the country's former colonial ruler, which led to him being ousted in a qu, imprisoned, tortured, and later executed. ludo de victor is a belgian author who wrote a book about lemon best murder. the book reveals the belgian government's complicity and details how lumber and 2 of his associates were executed in the

forest and how their bodies were disposed. it was done during the night, so there was a lot of villagers worm were very suspicious. and so very quickly yom or belgium's recoveries decided to dig up the mothers and 2 of the body completely destroyed. and so they got them into pieces and took the, sold them into um a barrel of 4. 0 oh. so for us, it's a belgian officer who was involved later confirmed the books account, including the part about him removing, remembers tooth and keeping it as a trophy. after the release of the book in 91, a parliamentary commission of inquiry concluded that belgium had, quote, moral responsibility. fuller, members, killing activism has continued here to force the countries a fully recognized and atone for its brutal colonial past that led to the death of millions. in the d, r. c. there's been some progress. after years of activism and debates,

the brussels municipality opened this square named after and in honor of patrice. lomax already said that the symbolic gesture was intended to reflect belgium's colonial past. activists now use the space to tell people about countries, remembers life and legacy. the, the main thing that he was assassinated for was to erase in politics and to erase his memory. so having the square is a, a way of for reviving his arm. his memory, patrice limone, was truth is all that was left of him after he was killed. belgium, returning it to his family, is being welcomed as a 1st step. we hope it to be the beginning of the recognition that colon alias was something wrong was a crime against humanity. and that we can start to install

a kind of politic of reparation. it's taken decades for the truth about the circumstances of patrice rumors, murder, to emerge, congolese, people at home and abroad. hope it will take less time for their nation and their hero. to get justice. a record 100000000 people across the world have been forced to flee their homes. that according to the latest you went, figures the war in ukraine as well as new or continuing emergencies. and places such as ethiopia, afghanistan, and congo of all contributed to this staggering figure. and more often than not, it's private initiatives that help those fling that to mark world refugee day, which is today. we have this report from the croatian capital, zagreb, or volunteer. so started a non profit to support refugees and migrants. the i, you serious free shop is open twice a week for refugees and the needy. here people can get clothing at no charge of the

game here. we're almost lost everything through. you came here thousands of migrants arriving krasier every year. many say that after arriving there were again expelled forcibly and illegally back out of the you across the boston creation, bought them. yet, some still make it here. in the hall road that they bought the whole journey that they had. this is one of the rare places where people like to come back because nobody's judging them here. in many people come not only for the to native goods, but also just to drink coffee, talk to each other to play. they come from syria, afghanistan, cuba, and other places. but recently we are told donations for migrants dried up and you are the reason many creations are donating only for the green and refugees in

that way. and i live, i forget that we still have other people here. if you do all summer, even some ukrainian refugees brought donations because they themselves had received too much. some of those donations went to rush and sweat flat to crecia. more of the people that we thought we are mixed up both russian fan or people who just didn't agree with what is happening in ukraine nation. the fish up also wants to have recent arrivals integrate into the creation community many done as a creation and have been coming to help for years, such as even up a whole sheets with our human being that we should meet them. why in the mood out in front of the free shop is cheerful and relaxed after journeys that for some have taken years. it's a bit of normal life for people far from home. i really well really are i spoke to

matthew souls, marsh who works with the united nations refugee agency. and i asked him about the observation in that report about plenty of donations for ukrainian refugees, but next to no directions for anyone else. well, it's true that there has been a huge outpouring of compassion and support for ukrainian refugees. and of course, we've seen that with european countries opening that borders allowing temper protection and you know, hundreds of thousands of people across europe and beyond opening their doors and giving financial support as well. and that's been really positive and we welcome that. but we do have that concern that came up in your report that other parts of the world refugee situ situations, refugee crises, in other regions, particularly africa, the middle east, and central and south america could be affected in the sense that so much funding is going to the ukraine, that they may well be less at the end of the year for those other situations. and

of course it's desperately needed and in many, many places. that what's the most realistic i look for ukrainian refugees. well of course it's very difficult to say there's 5000000 who registered as refugees, and then there's approximately 7000000 who displaced within the country. and of course, so much depends on the fighting and the evolution of the fighting. how long that last, whether it's contained to those eastern areas or whether it spreads again. so i think everything really depends on that. for the moment, some of the refugees have chosen to go back. some of them have jobs and if they're in safer areas that go back to check the houses and so on. but a lot of time that's not sustainable. and there are still people who are going back and then coming back across the borders to stay in your let's talk a little bit about this. this distinction that we touched on before between ukrainian refugees and people fleeing from other places. how are you looking at it?

how are you approaching it and dealing with it? well, obviously there's been this, this huge outpouring of support, particularly in europe. it's the neighboring countries in the neighboring region to ukraine. and that makes sense. but our overriding message for this world refugee day, which is today, as you mentioned, is that everyone has the right to claim asylum, no matter where they are, no matter what they do, no matter how they travel or move. and of course, we've seen examples in the past in europe, but also an in other regions of refugees not being given access to asylum. so our overriding message really is of course, provide that asylum to anyone who, who needs it and who seeking it. and that's the best thing that can be done by states for refugees there. matthew, you've mentioned before that there's been this i pouring of compassion and towards that ukrainian refugees. i made this exit us am, but how optimistic are you that this trend, this trend will continue?

what we daily hope, of course, that it will. i think we've shown the potential of support for refugees. and of course, it's now up to those countries to welcome the refugees to allow them to integrate and, and so far the, the size of very positive that that is happening. the countries in europe are offering access to services to education, to health, and so on. of course there is a concern that over time, the longer that a situation drags on that welcome could wear a bit thin, but so far we haven't seen that. but of course, let's not forget, there are so many other protracted refugee situations where the outlook for refugees is particularly dire. we think of syria more than 11 years now, a conflict, we think of afghanistan for decades of conflict and, and then we look across africa, ethiopia, and other regions. so there are still big concerns in those areas. matthew sold, marcia with the united nations refugee agency. thank you. thank you.

world swimming is governing body has effectively banned transgender women from competing in women's events. fina members widely adopted a new gender inclusion policy and a vote that only permits swimmers transitioned before age 12 to compete in women's events. the i o. c has given individual federations the right to make their own decisions on transgender athletes. swimming reached its decision based on research that says, once a person has been through mail, puberty, a physiological advantage has been gained that cannot be equalized by hormone replacement therapy. it is a policy that is based on science. it is a policy that we need to introduce in order to protect the competitive fairness of our, of our event. however, i completely understand that this is

a policy which will not be supported by some of our transgendered athletes. the debate intensified in march this year when university of pennsylvania swim. leah thomas became the 1st transgender in c, double a swimming champion in the women's 500 yard freestyle. and i don't want to make li thomas the center of this conversation on the world stage. but li thomas has reportedly entered now she's been on homeless birby for 3 years. her olympic dreams are gone. it is my hope that young girls all around the world can continue to dream of becoming olympic and well champions in a female category. prioritizing the competitive cornerstone of fantasy. however, it is also my hope that a young gender diverse child can walk into a swimming club and feel the same level of acceptance that a 9 year old. well,
