this is in the dawn bass. ukraine says that russian forces have captured several more settlements. and now control almost all of the loo, hunt's region. some heavy weapons have now arrived from germany, but ukraine says they are just a drop in the ocean of what is needed to push the russians back. everything that can burn is on fire. that's how the governor of ukraine's blue hands, gray gen described the situation here. russia is intensifying attacks in ukraine's east ukrainian defenders. inch of yellow de netscape still holding out in the besieged as a chemical plant. their last stronghold in the city. hundreds of civilians are sheltering their and their russian troops withdrew from her cave last month, the shelling has started once again. this footage shows what was once an educational

building now in ruins. oh, brewing there were no armed forces, all representatives of territorial defense in all the national guard and in this building when it was hit. so this strike was solely directed as a place of city infrastructure in order to intimidate the civilian population. also, wolfe legal that intimidation takes the form of words as well as weapons. without directly mentioning ukraine, russian president vladimir putin announced that a new nuclear capable ballistic missile system, known as sam matt would be ready for deployment by the end of the year. new benya was moses, in addition to the new weapons, already tested on the battlefield, where the troops began to receive s 500 m missile defense systems. so unlike any other, the heavy intercontinental ballistic missile sa, matt, was successfully tested, give a settlement. it is planned that the 1st complex will appear on combat duty at the

end of the year. you would utilize, oh, ukraine hopes that a boost to its military arsenal in the form of long awaited how it says from germany may help it pushed back against the russian assault. but keith says it's received only a fraction of what it needs. not long after they were delivered for this was russia's response footage, released by russia's defense ministry, which they say shows the destruction of how it says sent by the u. s. and a u. that ukraine's morale and will to defend itself is proving much harder to destroy in the war. now i will go to our colleague in one will shaun's and she is in keep tonight the mon, well let's talk about these important heavy weapons that ukrainian forces are waiting for today was an important delivery day, wasn't exactly, in fact, germany had promised it would deliver a heavy weapons and it had been

a bone of contention between keith and berlin as to weeks and months passed. and there was no no side, no sign of those or how it says in particular here in ukraine. so the fact that they arrived today, along with trained ukrainian, or sole dears who are trained in germany, well, this is a, a booth for a de morale of the ukrainian armed forces. you know, they've been saying time and again, they need heavy weapons, of course, does a german, how it says, want to do all the job, but it's better than nothing. it's better done, no heavy weapons at all. and it certainly reinforces the trust between the 2 countries, so definitely a morale boost, tender. hopefully, you know, there will be put on the front line ways, darling, darling, needed on these eastern front line where the last a few days have seen an increasing or an increase to fighting. yeah,

and i would talk to me about the situation on the front lines in eastern ukraine. what do we know? well, it appears that to russia to each reserve, sir, in law, in, in its latest air, be to try and conquer. all of no hands get almost a dominates every thing there. if you talk to people talk about the city of said i don't, yes, for example, it's almost completely russian or ro occupied by russian right now. it is only by russian troops. right now it is only that these chemical plans were mentioning earlier in the report where hundreds of civilians are dropped and there's no way in to have it done. yes. can. there's no way out either because the bridge is leading to the city and the highway leading to the city have been destroyed by heavy sailing and on both sides, most a russian side and the ukrainian or side to forces. the armed forces are suffering

heavy, heavy losses. so a situation that has dramatically escalated and ukraine and armed forces worn at that the next couple of days will show a decided decisive battle for the domination of don boss. in order built the situation for the suburbs around kia, where you are, i know that you've been visiting keeps suburbs. they were damaged extensively at the beginning of this war. or what have you been seen was once it's been heartbreaking to see it pain to see house tomorrow, we're also a possible war. crimes were committed. those are the places where regularly to foreign sick teams. the ukraine and forensic teams are uncovering mass graves and proves to testimonies of what has happened when that russian troops, when true, that they retreated 2 months ago already. but when you drive through,

when you walk through those towns, you see the pictures of desolation. you see destroyed or buildings everywhere. so this will take years to rebuild even knowing how resiliency ukrainian people are. this is just scenes of desolation with and no end inside. knowing that most of the eastern part in a southern part of their country are still subjected to indiscriminate shelling on residential areas in particular. or corresponding in my room shows, reporting to mike from key banking was since the beginning of the war, volunteers across you green have been doing their part for the war effort. some are turning to recycling to help see soldiers large. and to find out more about how it's done, the w's, rebecca readers travel to southern new cream to the region around makeover. this old junkyard is a junkyard no more. when war broke out,

volunteers took over the space and turned it into a military workshop. dimmer is a sound engineer and voiceover artist, now he makes flak, jackets moves across number, little of it, with a bullet. proof vests were requested. hm. kilograms. so we decided to try make some a small number from 30 pieces. we wanted to raise 47000. heard if near for that's sure, people wrote so connected that we raised 150000 in the 1st 3 to 4 days. so we made 3 times as many lots of video morsbow, but on the word so far they've sent more than $700.00 of the vests to the front lines. places like hunt, keith, china, his and mc alive, there's recycling involved and the work looks aren't, isn't all that the product is military grade level, sort of a therapist. mitchell is certified 8 millimeters thick at 1 o'clock. this rubber from a conveyor belt is screwed on top of its liam. it acts as an anti fragmentation layer over this rubber traps or splinters from the bullets we put in my of c. or,

of course, if you call it the metal and rubber a bound together in strong tape, and we'll make holy cross. ne, if a joke, think ok. work. fireproof material usually used to make sofas forms. the outer shell of the vests, just popped the pipes inside these purpose built pockets. and hey, presto, westfield, pretty good. once you get it on it quite comfortable and much lighter than you might expect, much lighter than some of the press fest i've even had to wear in the field. but the real test, of course, is going to be whether or not he can stop a bullet. the plates to flick shots from an a k 47 standard equipment for the russian army what, what's likely? oh, wow. or the vin sneed hilton's outside,

he shows us old tractor wheels that will go in to some of the vessels. soldiers arrived to pick up some for the comrades for blood. they learn what kind of bullets their new body armor can stop. children with a quick trip into the shop to take what they need and they're off to the front lines, begin to save lives made in ukraine as a diplomatic dispute escalades between russia. in lithuania, the us says it's nato commitment to defend the baltic state remains iron clout. russia has threatened lithuania with unspecified consequences for blocking rail shipments to rushes enclave of coline rod. this is the latest dispute around western sections that were imposed over the invasion of ukraine. and this border crossing on the belarus, lithuanian border. freight trains have come to

a halt. those from russia carrying materials such as metal and coal bound from moscow's baltic. sea exclaimed calin and grad have not been allowed to pass for a week. that's due to e. u. sanctions imposed on russia. moscow has slammed what it calls the blockade as hostile and illegal. the lithuanian prime minister rejects this recording at our yacht way, not interested in an escalation, but sanctions must be implemented. your honest, it's ironic to hear that russia is accusing us of international treaty violations. because i don't know if there are any international treaties that russia itself hasn't violated. the sir. colon and grad doesn't share a border with mainland russia. it's cut off by e u. member states, poland and lithuania and the swanky gap. but it's extremely important to moscow rushes baltic fleet is headquartered there. armed with iskander missiles, rockets that can be fitted with nuclear warheads. people in the russian exclaimed,

are nervous. most of it's jennifer, we said maybe crisis will go up, or there will be no goods that we use to at all. ok. dorothy disability? not actually. i think we should pack our belongings and leave before we can't go anywhere. this is never happened before. when the owners were open, we could go to poland, where everything was changed. it was a totally different the far. she chestnut schusters, the german chancellor, olaf sholtes reassured lithuania of germany, support halbens and thornton, and i promised outlet delaney and friends that will provide them a robust combat brigade to be stationed in lithuania, hot one that and the crisis situation can be quickly posted with forces from germany fast act that in the immediate aftermath of russia's invasion of ukraine, germany quickly increased its military presence in lithuania and throughout the region. the baltic states their fear, they could be the next to face russian aggression. even more now, i am joined by

a correspondent, konstantin, entered. he is in lithuania. constantine is good to see you again. this enclave of coline garad. it's russian territory, and it's as a border with it. the way any of this is where russia and nato meet head on. what's your sense is moscow signaling to the world that it is willing to let the situation escalate into something more than a diplomatic rel. well, i think is usually likes the world to think it's so crazy that everyone has to rush and pacifies. but i suppose that's in such circumstances that will be a c lyn. suicidal. mission. cleaning route is, as you rightly said, places natal directly voters, only 2 countries, both native members, poland, and the 20th. and frankly speaking, it is a very important military base for that is also very fertile because of its

geographic location. i, i think that are actually the, the, the transit that it blocked out according to the you direct it, which state from the sanctions. not because russia is this, this kind of transit that has nothing to do. for example, military shipments that continue to go violate, went into canadian rock. it has to do with, basically, for example, something like steel and ferris metals that are banned from transiting you territory. so i think that it is on the one hand at traditional kremlin bravado. but all the other hand, i'm sure that people in the graham and know it is this piece of land on the baltic sea coast cleaning rock is in a very precarious situation. so it is essentially completely surrounded by nature. yeah, you know, a year ago many people thought that a russian threat to invade ukraine was also bravado. and we know where we are

tonight. what about the way, how concerned are people there that the situation could escalate into a ukraine to point out runs. conversely, yes, no one called the book is going to invade, but also no one thought that this invasion is going to go. so anywhere. so i think that with regard to the 20, you know, it is a completely different game. most leadership understands that this is nato territory in stock. nothing that we have confirmation yet again from july that america is going to fight and he's going to is going to basically live up to its expectations of collective defense on the, on the not letting treating people. it's 20 brent warren ever since 2014, ever since the annexation of the crimea, people here consider need to be a frog lives they. that's what they say here, including officials. but all the other hand, i've spoken to some people who have been in government and they told me today that

they think that this particular all the best of a moscow irritation and rage is more propaganda than fact actually, apart from actual military action, against the great there is not much that the government can do to the planning process here, giving us excellent analysis on what is going on surrounding the enclave of coline gra, cost. and he thank you. thank you for his round up know of more stories that are connected to the war. the russian army says the russian tv is now broadcasting in ukraine's southern region. people there can el access 24 russian channels for free. moscow has already introduced its currency in the area and started distributing russian passport. the editor of one of russia's last, independent newspaper. dmitri mural off has auctioned off his 2021 nobel peace

prize metal. now the metal itself fetched a record $103500000.00. that money will be donated to help children displaced by the war in you grew on to east africa. now where the death toll from a massacre in ethiopia as a romeo region, has risen to at least 260 officials saying that rebels targeted ethnic, i'm horror of villagers there. now this is the latest atrocity in ethiopia where a civil war that began in the northern to gray region has been raging for nearly 2 years. government forces are trying to oust the degrees people's liberation front, from its stronghold there. but the war has spilled over into other parts of the country, leaving thousands dead millions displaced or corresponded. mario mueller visited a town on the border of the t gray region that has been shattered by ethnic by it's

very close to 60 bodies. among them were several children. he tells us. but among capital i have a heavy heart and glitter manager. i am lost for words by them made this has left a scar in my life. if al and i'll never forget this over to mother's home, but it's not just lives that have been lost. loper infrastructure lies in ruins, as well. citizens vocal that they destroyed the hospital with everything that's useful. the x ray machine, the chem lab, and the laboratory. oh, they took everything and they broke the rest of the day with and, and thought the fighting has caused a rift between the 2 communities. both now accused each other of massacres, destruction and looting. we found signs of t p. laugh actions, but to grind witnesses also made claims of a foreign militia aggressions. they say they're targeted and killed several to ground residence before transporting several 1000 to the regional capital samarra.

the head of the u. n. h. c. r.

border towns residence will return, or if they will ever get to call a balla their home again. and here's a quick look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world in south africa, residence of johannesburg. so, whether township protested today in front of the mayor's office there, demanding an end to poor public services and persisting inequality. the calling for an end to power cuts, as well as for better drinking water and better sanitary conditions. true lincoln has shut schools and non essential state services for 2 weeks. an effort to save a few, the country in the grips of its worst ever economic crisis calls for the president to resign are growing louder as people face severe shortages of essential goods. with

where in germany, a renowned art show is removing one of the works on display over its anti semitic content. of the controversy around the piece has overshadowed the opening of the documentary modern art exhibition, which has held every 5 years in the city of castle officials. and organizers have condemned the art working question, a giant banner using anti semitic stereotypes to portray jewish israelis. this is the image that is causing widespread controversy, a hooked nose fangs, and bloodshot eyes, paired with the side. carls traditionally warned by ultra orthodox juries. the image is part of a work of art by the indonesian collective tart, p a t i. it took center stage at the document to holland castle. these, this building does is he had skate. these illustration clearly has anti semitic imagery, protection against anti semitism,

as well as protection against racism and any form of misanthropy of fundamental human values. long and if those values aren't respected than the freedom of expression in art has its limitations. once i had eli gunther in the same work of art, a man who had pigs knows is depicted as a member of massage the israeli foreign intelligence service. this too is an anti semitic stereotype. the israeli embassy reacted by tweeting documents at promot gribble style propaganda. mary mandel is the director of the anne frank educational center. he's equally appalled and demands that the artwork be removed from our dealership. we also need to question exactly how such a picture was created in the 1st place, and then how it was allowed. such a prominent place in the exhibition or the enzyme homan entered dots in there are still in the lower part of the artwork or depictions of massacres and genocides.

the holocaust is notably missing. the central council of jews has been highly critical of this. they said document as organizer is guaranteed, there would be nothing anti semitic in this year's exhibition. clearly, the organizers have failed when it comes to the topic of anti semitism. the exhibition has denied any connection with anti semitism and apologize for any hurts caused in the u. k people have gathered at the prehistoric stonehenge monument to mark to day the longest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere. thousands of druids, pagans, and new age revelers greeted the dawn at the ancient stone circle to celebrate the summer solstice. it was the 1st time that people have been able to do that in 3 years because the pandemic restrictions on june 21st every year the sun rises behind the largest stone in the circle, which was built 5000 years ago. we still don't know exactly why or how

before we go, here's a quick look at our top stories. this, our russia is making advances in ukraine's eastern don't bass region. ukraine says that russian forces have captured several more settlements and now control almost all of the loo. hunt's region keeps as it has only received a fraction, the western heavy weaponry that it needs to push fresh and forces back. this is the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day. i hope to see you then. thank oh lou. lou with

ah, with a pulse. he's the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's only about to perspective culture

information. this is neither you news and more d, w. made for mines. oh and go mike speaking, how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? a gold hon. where does it come from? come also that the history of antisemitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. interest in christianity wants to convey that is why christianity you like the figure of the jew as the parent plum hope to fly. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence. is the bodies from then on the jews were considered

servants of evil. we shall be told you about the most atrocious chapter undone. within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating 6000000 jews, like microbes to be annihilated. even 77 year is after the holocaust hatred towards juice is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism starts july 2nd on d. w. a . because i feel like we're capable and we did it and we're so proud of ourselves with .
