started. our correspondent and keith here, it's from to ukrainians, living in the russian health city of hassan about life under occupation, and why they decided to stay and will bars. johnson remain u. k. prime minister. while his successor is chosen, he wants to stay on for the summer, but m p 's and the british public may not be willing to let that happen. ah, i'm pablo for lillius. welcome to the program. former japanese prime minister sions . obey has been shot in the city of nara, after attending a campaign event, 2 shots are reported to have been fired from a hand gun with the 2nd hitting the politician in the back. officials in japan, se ave is in

a grave condition. the attacker who made no attempt to flee the scene has been detained by authorities. well for more, we can now talk to journalists, sonya glasgow, who joins us from the japanese capital. tokyo welcome to d w. sonya, what's the latest you can tell us from this shocking event that we've seen this morning. and we just heard something about the motive of the attacker. and he actually said that he wanted to kill other because he was not content with are they and all this politics so, so there is obviously, this is a political motive there. and we've also just had a press conference by prime minister kita who looked visibly shaken at the moment they're trying to figure out like what to do about the elections and how this will play out. because japan is supposed to have a house election on sunday. and i think the attack can be seen against the backdrop of that so deeply, deeply shocking, of course,

for the japanese people. and you mentioned there at the motor from the suspect. tell us a little bit more about the suspect. what we know about on japanese media knew relatively quickly who it was. the name is no known, he's 41. he's from nora. so from the city where the whole tragedy happens, and he seems to have made of this gun like on his own or it looks kind of, i don't know, he put tape around it, maybe to hide that it's a gun. so that's a bit strange. and that's not much is known. there were these 2 shots that are in the chest and apparently the neck. i'm you know, so these are the current in relation to the condom details that we've got. other was apparently unable to talk with the rescuers, so that some good news. but other than that, we're still waiting for confirmation from the hospital. now you were mentioning

there that the elections, it's on shore am whether they're gonna actually take place on sunday. shins or abbey left politics am will left his his role 2 years ago. but what was his role on the campaign trail where he was, i'm speaking and had various events over the past couple of days to support members of his liberal democratic party and also the, the incumbent prime minister kita. so he is despite officially stepping back from his post as prime minister. he's still very much in the center of japanese politics and, and kind of pulling the strings behind the scenes, so to speak. also as a member of the member, as the leader of a very big faction within the liberal democratic party. now shootings are very rare in japan and how shocked at the japanese public and with what happened in our

extremely shocked. i mean, i can't really say it in a different way. there's been a lot of reactions coming in, people condemning this type of violence. this is not something that japan is used to at all. they have been very few incidents of this kind of caliber in the past. and the question is also, was there enough security or not, or how could he slip past security? so i think, i hope we'll get to these questions and sonya glasgow in tokyo, thank you. you're welcome. russian president vladimir putin has dared the west to try and defeat russia on the battlefield. he also claimed that he had barely started his offensive, and in the eastern and southern city such as have sun, hooton's forces now dominate. back in june, the occupying administration announced a referendum on joining russia, though when this will take place is on here. but many,

harrison residents won't be around to vote. tens of thousands are believed to have left for ukrainian control territory since russia seized the city. reporting on the ground has become all but impossible for independent western journalists, dw nick congress spoke about 2 locals at spoke with 2 locals about life under occupation. at the beginning, we all thought the occupation would be over in a week. it was only a few months in that we finally understood that the russians were here to stay. it's still very similar to with. ready 5, for as i was a little while, you're on a red flag for those very so you're all my friends have left, the other generation is gone. only the pensioners have stayed here. there's so many people in need right now and on. now these people are not able to get the money

that they have on there comes a little bit older, people are trying to get in there. awesome. so boston 1000 rule is a b q to get there. so i think that they give this a blur. rommel by condition. there are some i only heard about the plans for a referendum to join russia from the ukrainian press. with that no one's talking about it here. so it'll find daddy and on and before it got fully, miller vehicles. but in fact, there are many places where, where ocoee do the dirty. and of course you don't hear about that many people working left. i see also many posters on the seeds on facebook telling him that this or that person is missing. when the russians came,

though we were expecting things would be as bad as in mary. you, paul, mary of norwood. we were scared to even look at the window. it was sheer panic because of the year to damage the fact that we can leave the house and buy food. and we seems like a miracle. unluckily or is it just a 2nd baby girl was i always tried to just if, if the russians are shooting or, or the ukrainians are covering russians was they were selling the same with nothing changes. i'll also end up leaving with only my parents and my grandma that are keeping me here for now. a day anyways, who did the graham's delivery? the question is how and when, and we got a it to become a marathon rather than a spin. well for more were joined by

dw correspondence next. spicer who's in keith? good to see a nick now the russian president vladimir putin warned on thursday that russia is only just getting started in ukraine. has that remark being received in the ukraine? officially there's, i've been a very big reaction and adviser to the president said, because he was referring to putin's comment. you said that the collective west is ready to fight to the last ukrainian, that there is no collective west in ukraine. there is only a russian army that entered ukraine beyond that, no comment from president lensky from any other high ranking officials. i think that announcement that russia is just getting started is being greeted with a considerable number of i rolls here in ukraine because let's remember how this war actually started. putin had the plan to take the capital key of a much larger plan when he actually started for real and failed abysmally with 70

kilometer long lines of tanks being picked off one by one on the highways into the capitol of not before russian troops committed war crimes allegedly in the environs of the capital and then all being pushed back to the regions where they are fighting for now. mainly with artillery barrage is not necessarily sending in troops to fight street by street. so the war is just beginning, i think is not really going to impress a lot of people here and keep it for this kind of thing. before nick and the russians have eased off on their offensive in the don baths. since capturing this he chanced. why is that why go back to what i was saying before that the heavy, heavy loss is inflicted in the, in the early stages of this war entering its 5th month. what you have is battalion tactical groups that were broken up decimated. they need to be reconstituted when we talk about the fighting in the east that's been taking place. we're mainly talking about artillery barrage is just meant to operate guns for that. you don't

need units to move in to occupy the whole territory. and that has not been happening, it will slowly be happening because they're basically using a scorched earth policy, completely emptying the towns of civilians who have fled all of the shelling. so it's not particular it difficult to move in men in that situation. it's much harder to actually fight. so what the russians are doing and the russian hackman has said as much as that they're regrouping and reconstituting their forces. but it's, it's, it's, it's important to underline that this isn't necessarily a sign that the, preparing for some massive onslaught they need to lick their wounds if you will, for a little while. dw correspondent, next by sir in, keith, thank you. british prime minister bars johnson wants to stay in office until his successor is chosen, but he may not be able to. johnson announced his resignation on thursday after a mast revolt from within his conservative party ministers and party members had

enough of a series of scandals and his handling of them. and the idea of johnson's staying on for a few more months isn't popular with every one. a moment long delayed, finally becomes unavoidable. good afternoon, everybody. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party in the app or a new prime minister. without saying resign, johnson said he would stay on until a new leader is in place. he lamented his conservative colleagues. eccentric push to change, prime minister, i mean economic challenges, but as we seen a westminster at the heard instinct is powerful when the heard moves, it moves and by friends in politics, no one is remotely indispensable. watched by his wife and staff, johnson recalled his landslide election when in 2019 his completion of briggs and

passage through the corona virus pandemic. and i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. them the brakes. thank you very much. johnson's speech closes one chapter but opens the door to a period of political uncertainty, the opposition and some in his own party say he should leave office immediately. it is to go completely done of this nonsense about clinging on for a few months, his inflicted life fraud and chaos in the country. but johnson has made a career of hanging on to power and wriggling out of trouble. i've developed moral . his careless thought to the pandemic, saw him hospitalized with coven 19 a system. he survived that, and later outrage at parties held in his office during lockdown. booze from the public at the queen's jubilee in early june were followed by a vote of confidence in parliament which he won,

but was left damaged and missed. the tipping point came after revelations about sexual misconduct within his party, leading to high level ministerial resignations. after quitting as conservative party leader, the clock is now ticking on johnson's period. as prime minister in tennis on shore continues to make history at wimbledon only a few days ago, she became the 1st arab and african woman to reach the semi final of a grand slam. now the trim is in is the 1st to reach a finally the open era. the world number 2 is finally living up to expectations after beating rival and close friend tatiana, maria, 62366. 1. she'll face russian born cousin player, alina reba. kina in saturday's fun in the men's torment raphael the dolls. hopes of winning all 4 grand slam titles in the same year are dashed. the spaniard has pulled out with an abdominal injury. the 22 time grand slam champion was supposed
