shows killed his grandmother. oh, i have nothing to say. i should go incompetent myself. many elderly people are unable to evacuate or simply refuse to even as life here becomes increasingly perilous. we won't kill my grandchildren. our did to me. one of them is 13 years old. and another one a 3 month old. i asked him to leave, so they don't see it at all. they asked me to leave to leave the house and go. i say no, i grew up here and i will die here. this is my motherland, this is my town, this is mine. i will not leave it to a war with the label in his nightly address. ukrainian president

followed me. zalinski claimed to russian forces are attacking innocent victims on purpose. but that won't stop some ukrainian staying until the bitter end. earlier i spoke to d w as nick connelly, and here i asked him if there's any explanation for why russia would target an apartment building while the russian s. i would have you believe that this was a strike on western weapons that had been sent to crane. and that is the explanation here, time and time again. every time this kind of mass killing of civilians happens, we saw it with the attack on the mall and central ukraine just some weeks ago. and it doesn't seem to add up the question about the kind of intention, whether this was intentionally about trying to panic and quote, caused chaos among civilians. or whether this is just because russia is running out of more precision, a capable weapons. that, that's a question for later. that's the question that near prosecutors looking into potential war crimes. we'll look into. but i think the reality for civilians on the

ground there is however far away they are from military targets, which is a military target. if you any way that front line you are in intense danger and basic, the only way of guaranteeing of safety is getting as far away as possible. now, while they still can now andree year mark cur, the chief of staff of ukraine's president, he describes the strike on the apartment block as another terrorist attack. he's calling for russia to be officially recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism. what would that achieve? nick? this is a u. s. definition, a basically a kind of deb, very kind of exclusive clump of countries that are under the kind of highest level of us sanctions is comes like north korea, syria, iran. and that would basically make most business transactions with these countries for us businesses, but also other countries. businesses who then want to work with the u. s. basically impossible, and the limits on the kind of number, the can numbers, the kind of the volume of business possible are very, very low,

lots of permit permit and special dispensations necessary. and i think the kind of through the rationale behind a hearing ukraine is they are very wide, that as energy prices rise as the kind of cost of living crisis in europe and north america develops that there's going to be an appetite to try and draw back on some of these sanctions imposed for this war on russia, and that there will be some kind of deal done at ukraine's expense to try and bring down energy prices. so i putting russia on a list that, that really is then very difficult for any near future u. s. administration or different policy makers to then dial back on. and that would really keep on the pressure on russia, in the long term, and really make it difficult for international business to engage with russian. ok, the ukranian government has urged civilians in the southern castle region to evacuate. now that areas currently occupied by russian troops, ukraine says, is preparing a counter offensive there. what war can you tell us about this? now? we've really seen ukraine in some parts, actually now going to counter offensive in the last few days,

particularly the arrival of weston weapons. those american high mas rocket launchers have enabled ukraine to hit russian targets far away from frontline, 6078 kilometers away from that positions there. for now, they've been hitting russian weapons depose, and the logistics. so basically seemingly preparation to go to counter attack. i think macy all through this campaign ukraine has been outgunned by russia. so now the i had to kind of plan is to try and basically stove rushes, troops of weapons to basically even out the chances. and while rushers preoccupied in the east with lucon street and trying to kind of push forward there to then go to couch offensive in the south and to regain territory. while the russians are trying to basically regroup off to macy weeks of very intense fighting that cost them lots of manpower and lots of whitman, nick, thank you very much. d. w. nick conley in here, sir, that ukraine within russia, expressing an anti war stance, can lead to serious consequences,

including intimidation in the workplace. some public servants have lost their jobs . d. w correspondent era chateau brings us this story of one russian teacher who has refused to be silenced. despite pressure from above. just if you lost corrections before the summer holidays that you are not to have anchor hopes that she'll still have her job to come back to when the new school year starts. that yon us auntie was dance, has elleon aid at her from the school management, which now the quote went bowling slowly, but surely i'm being put under pressure even over trivial things. month if, for example, here a student scribbled something, i have course did you notice it, but i was still reprimanded by the director for allegedly not fulfilling my duties . i was told, i should have invited the student's parents to the school to discuss it, just because of these doodles that up. well, when russia launched it's of one ukraine, hundreds of people took to the streets. that young nature of anchor was one of them

severely during one of them that he's been in a wheelchair ever since. what as ever they given me and i did this for my country. what happened to me is irrelevant. we protested for so long until we finally achieved our goal. and this makes me really happy all of it to the abbey. i'll do it again. on saturday, tens of thousands of people filled the streets of sher lank, his capital colombo. they stormed government buildings and the president's palace. bowing to public pressure, both prime minister week remy singer and president go to buy a raj, epoxy announced their resignations like many others in the new bon. dora sees the president as the main culprit for this crisis. he owned a small fabric factory but was forced to close its doors when or to stop coming in . that left his family of 6 without the income they relied on. i them again

a month and i meant i'm still living on my savings. i also donated to the protests, but because of the accident, i still had to pay for an operation very, which also cost me a lot of money. in reality, the worries, fears and anger of the previous months of forgotten, at least for now, the presidential palace is usually sealed off and out of bounds for ordinary people . now it's become a tourist hotspot. thousands come he to see how go to buy a rajah pox. i lived in luxury in his gym all by the pool. is really unbelievable. read and been that they're not dick on which and will come to us monday that finally come. and that is what we want that via info more than 90 days for this day. so i think this is the very excited is it all up as he london. we are very happy and very we are very proud. but even with the president and prime minister gone,

the countries problems remain sri lanka is more than 50000000000 euros in debt. many people have lost their jobs and barely have the money to feed themselves and their families. but i didn't thought we now expect the country to be ruined by capable people. may we know that we have many talented young politicians here. they must now be given a chance and give hope back to the people of sher lanka, am i thought he did? i love, i didn't come back in and deal hopes that he'll be able to reopen his factory when the crisis has passed. but that's not lodge. he to be any time soon. western like his economy and meltdown. and the president and prime minister being forced out who if any one is in charge, i put that question to moron aria sang a senior editor for the news magazine, him on south asia in colombo. oh, thank you for holding me. so right now, since they haven't been any official vaccinations, the president asked for

a lot of questions and go among the political parties who know that from the government as parties. but we haven't, we haven't, we haven't been informed of content yet. so it's too much. it's still very much of developing integration right now. so what's next model? what are the prospects performing a new government and re establishing a functioning economy? because additionally, that are very clear provisions for the to sit down. and in fact, i'm needing an article right now on this and but in terms of the next in terms of the next document, local news has been reporting that out of the, for the pm comes in to continue to pay for the presidency. since the i in the discussions of the law going that also reports that the opposition of the family doctor has had a discussion. and he's hoping to establish an incentive governments made up of the

party. but he still does not come on the majority. but the protest they have been demanding the recognition of the vm asbestos. so if he also resigned, we might have a situation where the speed of the body will be taking over the shore. tell us what life is like in 3 locker right now. is there still a semblance of normalcy given the dire straits that the countries in well so yesterday i was at the main for this site. go to go down in front of the presidential 2nd period. ah, and there are still people wanting into the site from all over the long ha, ah, since you know that you might have the buildings like a residence have been not. it's not open to the hobby, in terms of their story. normally in any one says nothing much has changed, that i ask you about that there are still fewer than medicine shortages looming for

prices. so we, i guess to very much in prices. well, and thank you very much for talking with was mormon or a song of the senior editor with him? all south asian thank you day japan's prime minister for me. ok. she has met with you, a secretary of state antony blinking, blinking arrived in tokyo for a previously unscheduled stop. he delivered condolences over the death of japan's influential former leadership. so abbey, who was assassinated on friday. the meeting came a day after because she does governing coalition secured a solid majority and elections for parliament of her house. earlier i spoke with journalist sonia blushed in tokyo. i asked her if abe's killing might have influence the outcome of japan's election. i'd say to a certain degree, i mean, we were expecting the as it,

he'd to win quite comfortably anyway. and that has happened. they can fact had their best results since 2013. and they did sway a lot of the undecided voters. turner was also relatively good for japan with a little over 50 percent. so i think the, the assassination might have some sort of impact, but also maybe not, not huge. shinji hobbies shooting death was a huge shock. hor, japan. how have people there reacted to the killing? the overwhelming census is really still that people are extremely shocked like how this could have happened in their peaceful country. and the city of nora, where the incident happened, has introduced a trauma hotline for people to call. this is really something that people are not equipped to deal with just the fact that all the people didn't actually run away when it happened, also shows that people just, i'm not used to,

to this type of incident. i'm and then down to other feelings. one is that people are a bit of relief. so as strange as this may sound. but as it seems to have been a kind of personal issue and not an issue related to, to obvious philosophy. because the, the perpetrator had some personal problem with effect that his mother gave donations to. and that's why he targeted other, at the same time, people are worried that other people like him my to marginalized and, and might be plotting similar things. well, the u. s. victoria state antony blinkin. he made an unscheduled visit to japan following up his death. tell us more about that. yes, he returned from the g 20 summit in bali and we went to talk you to express that japan and the u. s. are not only l o as allies, but also friends. so that's what he said when he and i minister. and he really went

there to, to extend the sympathies also from our president biden. and also to show that japan and us are really strong in their relationship. and he also said that actually it did a lot to improve that relationship learning. sonya, thank you very much. that was journalist sonya blanca in tokyo. you're welcome. now to shootings in south africa that countries presents your ram oppose. a has condemned mass, shootings at bars and separate locations in the east and north of the country. 4 people were killed in the eastern city of peter harrisburg hours later. another 15 died after being gone. down in a township outside, sir, wetter locals were enjoying a night out here. it's a wet hose, orlando, east bar, when a group of armed men pulled up in a minibus taxi. this survivor wishes to remain anonymous

20000 people are murdered each year. the country has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world. climb has been to us. we need to just rise from the ashes and the onward to rise to come together with the people of africa to fight the shooting was the 2nd to occur in a bar. within hours though, police say the incidents are not related. in both cases, the attackers are still at large, and police have no idea as to their motives. so sports now and no joke of which has claimed his 4th straight wimbleton title defeating australian nic. curious and for sat jock of its rally back after losing the 1st search and a thrilling final. he had to dig deep against curios who displayed some fine tennis moose of his 1st final. this is the serbs 7th wimbleton title shop,
