germany owns up to its colonial past. berlin recognizes a collection of african artifacts looted in the 19th century as the property of nigeria. and they too, can now say, i do the same sex couples, get married in switzerland for the 1st time with a new law, granting them the same rights as other married couples. ah, i'm told me all logical. welcome to the program. there have been more civilian deaths in ukraine. officials there say at least 21 people were killed after russian missiles hit, a residential area near the black sea port of odessa. another missile hit, a nearby recreation center, ukraine's president for the demo zalinski describe the attacks as deliberate

russian terror. but the kremlin has denied targeting civilians. residents were asleep when a russian missile struck this apartment building at around one a. m. on friday. neighbors, in the town of sir heave county odessa rushed to help emergency workers search for survivors. did you see people being carried away? every nerve there, only body bags and smoking was valuable. the kremlin has denied involvement in the strike saying they do not target civilian sites. but keith says russian forces have escalated their long range attacks. increasing the threat to civilians far from the front lines. analyser will not want ukrainian mornings to start as tragically as to day versus going with russian missile strikes like the one on the odessa region with many casualties. so as we want ukrainian mornings to be peaceful in just like

the ones in other european capitals you now in the 21st century, better stability. graham president zalinski is urging law makers not to delay in implementing the measures ukraine needs to take in order to join the european union, which includes anti corruption reform, brussels approved ukraine's candidacy last month in a symbolic gesture of their progress towards joining the block. lawmakers raised the e u flag in ukraine's parliament chamber, but it will likely take years to clear all the hurdles for e u membership. dw ne connolly spoke to us earlier about the targeting of civilian infrastructure. we asked him if moscow was trying to break the morale of the people in ukraine. that's certainly the way it's being read here and keep. that is certainly what most people use me here, especially in government circles, would tell you. i think the intention at

a level is perhaps less important than the results we've seen now in the past week, civilians lose their lives on a huge scale and come and shook in odessa today. but also in the mccullough of close, it's the front lines. and it's abundantly clear that russia is not willing to stop hitting targets or going for targets that it claims a military targets. even if there is a significant risk of civilian loss of life at the rockets they're using now are increasingly old and less precise. some of the rockets use the past week are ones that came in service in the seventy's that are have a huge range up to 5000, clumped to some of them, but are notorious for hitting the wrong targets, sometimes getting as far as a half kilometer away from the internet target and got lots them even don't reach their target. so that's one of the reasons why russia often lot of these missiles from plains above the caspian sea, so as not to hit targets in russia. if the missiles go wrong. so there's definitely no willingness there to leave off targets or to basically take disadvantages in

what they seize their military campaign for the interests of avoiding o silly casualties. and now increasingly, as ukraine holds up better than anyone had expected, least of all in moscow. there is really a worry here that russia moscow will start trying to hit the civilian infrastructure to make it harder for you range. keep on fighting to hit electricity, plants, roads, railways, on a greater level so that even people, hundreds comments away from the front lines will not be able to go about their daily lives, even if they're not hit directly and will increasingly find their daily life, disrupted their ability to earn a living, made more difficult and you know, the hope it seems in russia is that increasing there'll be pressure on ukraine's government to come some kind of agreement to make some kind of compromises as life becomes, as in unbearable. here it is like here as it already isn't, almost a many ukrainian teenagers have led to germany there currently attending special classes to help them get used to live here. but after the holidays, some want to start in normal classes with german children, even though many
