the the, this is the w news coming to live from berlin. russia celebrates its victory over nazi germany, almost 80 years ago. member ations on most goes red square or close to the public commit tensions as rush of wages of faltering more against ukraine. here what president protein has a se also coming up

a vision of europe and what the future holds for the european union. german chancellor of schultz will address european parliament with his thoughts on where the block is going. as global events tests germany's prize with brussels and the use unity plus russian launch is more cruise missiles of kid. ukrainian officials say their defense systems have repelled attacks for a 2nd day following russia's biggest drone assaults in weeks and following devastating floods in the democratic republic of congo. the green task recovering bodies continues. with the death toll surpassing 4 hubbard, the l. o m. terry margin good to have you with us. russia is marking the 7810 number 3 of us victory over nazi germany in world war 2, known as victory day. this year's commitment patients come at

a time that sees russia deeply entrenched in its invasion of ukraine, out of parade in moscow's red square, president vladimir putin honored war veterans and present day soldiers, but setbacks and ukraine and recent attacks on russian soil have heightened security concerns this year's parade was close to the public, and other events were cancelled in a bellicose speech routine claimed russia was again, facing an existential threat. why is this we see signature that you particularly think that's the only part time? so if those who would like to once again, you know, not the time russia, they have to develop neo nazi visas owner, random old stuff for that. and that they would like to destroy a country to make a decision to pay. this is a, this house to the san diego crane at the moment, but ukraine high when they come, it was positively to the right side. was the renders. that doesn't give them the

money less than re seems is they a good of using everything they come in order to enter the manage the different plans. so he was bringing dw, correspond emily, sherwin who was our correspondent in russia, but had to leave the country when the russian government shut down our office in moscow. and our correspondent nick connelly joins us live from to welcome to you. both will start with you. emily, if you listen to put in speech where you listen to it together, what stood out for you. what we heard from him, you know, about honoring the memory of the soviet soldiers who fell during what rational calls the great patriotic war. but i think the parallels to now to current events and to what russia calls the special military operations were particularly interesting. put and talked about this to being a decisive battle for the homeland, for the russian homeland. just like world war 2 was even called it

a secret battle. he painted it very much as russia defending itself. and i think it was interesting, you know, we heard in this quote just now that russia sees itself as fighting as neo nazis. they've portrayed this fight against your brain as a spite to denounce if i you crane. but overall, i think up pushing the kind of shifted the blame to the west more than to ukraine by saying that ukraine is essentially hostage to the west in this war. a niche in kids. i know you follow the speech as well. nick, but what about normal people? average people in the crating capital and elsewhere in ukraine? do you think they were listening to put in speech any reactions yet? i think most people, if they are working to live in watching without the sound on, i think people could have predicted with some of these what he was going to say. i think they were waiting for a ukrainian drone to land or red square. there were lots of jokes about that

running into this, that didn't happen, but they did point out that this was a parade for the 1st time in a while without any aviation, without any of that kind of high tech weapons that have like a fruits and have been so proud of in recent years, doing that kind of high a tech tech tanks at a month. and that had been promised that have been shown for years and years. but then, as it turned out on the functional and all the available in any quantity on the battlefields here in ukraine, so sense that russian doesn't really have, apart from the minute you will consider that much to really show off with the, to it's a domestic audience. that and lots of jokes, and they've mentioned that about the expectations of ukrainian and kind of the some kind of a price to embarrass putin. i don't think people were seriously expecting it, but they were kind of taking a look and following it with the yeah. with that kind of slight smile in the faces, but nothing that he could say that that really is new after a year and a half of those kind of angry speeches in the direction of ukraine. emily, you lived in russia yourself for quite a while. you've covered a number of these victory day events. what impact do you think food teen speech

will have on the ukrainian or rather on the russian people? do you think it will help motivate people to go where he wants them to go, namely to the front to fight and that's what he calls a special military operation. well, nicholas mentioned that i think a lot of what flooding air pollution was saying today was kind of a pretty expected i don't know about it, mobilizing people to go to the front. uh, that's a pretty, it's, you know, difficult task. i think. i don't know if this would have really gained too many new supporters, but it certainly would've appealed to letting me have hooton's base. they see him, you know, as a beacon of stability in russia. this is kind of a ritual, a secret ritual, almost in russia to see this parade, to here, flooding near pollutants speech. and you know, we heard the old narrative that we've been hearing for many years now. as russia being kind of the siege a besieged fortress surrounded by enemies. so i think that would have kind of appealed to many people who already support flooding near put in. and of course,

hundreds of thousands who don't and who don't support this war have already left russia. indeed, putting in his speech, he said that the future of russia depends on troops fighting at the front, trying to make the create a sense of urgency. now not just a commemorative event back to you, nick and n t, a. nick the this event today has been anticipated widely. some say it's connected to some of the fighting. and the attacks that we've seen in ukraine ukrainian soldiers have held onto the russian city of buck moved, denying the victory that routine wanted apparently for this day as well. how do you see events in ukraine, particularly on the military front, linked to this, to this anniversary in any way? well, certainly, that has been a major failing. basically since last autumn,

russia has been on the back foot here in ukraine with your member of those lightning losses in effective region, song shoes, numbers of russian troops, kind of having to flood back onto the eastern bank for the pro river, leaving behind lots of equipment that the ukrainians are still using. spat paul, so they're kind of keeping ukrainian tanks going across the front lines. so i think they would desperate for some good news to announce today that hasn't happened. some of that is because of those conflicts between the wagner group, the mercenaries and the regular russian army. some of that is, is because the ukrainians have dug in and have calculated they think that those ukraine, your losses investment are worth it. that the russian loss is a much bigger and that by holding on to 1015, maybe 20 percent of buckle, they can really find the russian troops and spread the most generally across the rest. the front lines in the hope that then leading into expect to counter offensive ukraine trips will have an easier tons of it. so there's certainly a difficulty then that's maybe why boots and how to describe this whole operation as a kind of a defense of russia that russia was the victim here in the aggressive. because if

they all were to admit to this, being a kind of aggressive push to re gain control of ukraine, they would have pushed, it'll show for it. next, thank you very much. that was our correspondent and ukrainian capital t a nit connelly. i'm with me here in the studio, emily, sherwin. thank you both very much. i are now to is real and is really forces of carried out air strikes on the gaza strip, targeting the is islamic jihad and group regard it as a terrorist organization by the you and the us health standing and health authorities like 13 people were killed in the air strikes with children among the casualties. an apartment building and the house were reportedly hit. islamic jihad says 3 of the senior commanders died in the air strikes, dw correspond, attorney kramer is in jerusalem earlier, she gave me an update on what happened in gaza overnight. hi, yes, this is randy on a brief to forward to seeing the early morning. they basically are the is really

a f was struck, 3 targets. targeted killings of 3 senior come on. this of the militant group is telling me too hot overnight in the early morning hours once to i to the building in was off of that is and the self of the goal is the streets and 2 in kansas city . and as you said, they were also civilians. uh, apparently in these buildings we are waiting for more details on that a goes ahead so. so jesus had at least 12 people were killed among the women and children as well says that this members of it. so i'm going to hug when both are responsible for record fire and for coordinating attacks in the ok part of westbank or the f was also struck other, but they describe as military targets in the gaza strip. there's also a military operation going on in the occupied westbank and the city of novelist right now. so this seems to be the opening strike. and of course we are waiting now

for a response from gaza. speaking of a response, i wanted to ask you if the palestinian militant groups in guys have replied to these attacks in any way. well, this is of course now the main question. we seem that in deposit, of course it is expected that there will be a response. we're expecting for us the funerals to take place, and then to respond to them as long as you had the question that's being discussed, as, of course, especially in as well. how much, how much the minutes and group i'm us, which is routing garza will join in these efforts. we heard of mostly the it's been her new. you already made a statement early in the morning that the enemy made a mistake that they will pay a price for it is where it has closed the roads around the gaza strip and the southern communities there also told people to stay in the shelters. of

course and gaza. people also preparing for the worst because they do not have showed us. but that is of course know the big question. you know, whether there will be what, what kind of scope and scale are we going to see in this military escalation? sonya, thank you very much for now. that was our correspondent tony kramer. interesting, you are watching the news coming to live from berlin. still to come german transfer . all of schultz is expected to address the european parlance in this hour. setting out his vision of europe amid debates between germany and brussels and other challenges to e. u. unity will be bringing you live coverage of that when his speech begins. meanwhile, let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. trying to his ordered the canadian diplomat to leave the country after all the announce the expulsion of a chinese diplomat for allegedly intimidating the lawmaker. the m. p. had led an

effort for candidates who declared trying his treatment of the weaker and other most of minorities. as jenna saw more than 10000 people rallied in the serbian capital build right in response to last week's to mass shootings, which left 17 people did. in less than 24 hours. the protesters called for the resignation of government officials, serbia has the highest gun ownership in europe. fighting and students capital cartoon continues as the warring sides hold truce tungsten, sony, arabia u. s. and saudi back negotiations in jetta have so far failed to you'll to break through the conflict between the sudanese army and his rival. the parent military rapids support forces is now when it's 4th week. rescue workers in the democratic republic of congo are still recovering bodies after devastating floods. torrents of water and mud slides killed more than 400 people last week. and one of

the countries deadly as disasters. families of the hundreds who are still missing, have a little hope of finding anyone alive. the search for survivors and the democratic republic of congo continues but like food, water, and shelter, even who is this guy as commodity? families and rescue was digging through the wreckage of homes that will washed away if nothing else they hope to bury the loved ones with dignity. even when the i don't have a family anymore, even though my fuse is destroyed and i must look for a place to sleep. even though my husband is alive, but all my children have died. so i felt that we have not had any assistance so far. we really need it to wait and ask for help to move

because we can stay here. it's very dangerous. moved by red cross of all the deals that spend these to be covering bodies. but some have complained that they do not have the proper equipment to carry out the relief for those who knows you. what is that the ties if you want, that's how we will get through this and them. um, as i don't have anybody back, we don't get funding for what we do the model, this is the biggest difficulty was, is really not just was i this has been the countries deadly as disaster. and recent history and its impact is likely to be felt for us to come are still in the united states, where a court has heard the closing arguments in a civil trial involving right that these ations against donald trump, for magazine call them this e. jean carol has alleged the trump rates are in the changing room of the new york

department store in the mid 19 ninety's. trump continues to deny the charges he has chosen not to testify during the 2 week trial. is legal team is accused. carol, i'm wanting to the real trumps 2024 white house breaks or wide our washington corresponded to amy and as if hes more on the case against trump. well most of what we've learned so far in this case has come from the testimony of eugene carol herself as well as 2 friends she called in to give testimony about phone calls. they received from her after this a legit incident occurred in the mid nineties. so the story we've gone from this testimony is that carol was dropping in a, a department store in new york city when she met donald trump, who she already was familiar with the invited her to the ladies room to try and laundry, which he said he was buying as a present for somebody else. he followed her into the dressing room according to her account and proceeded to rape her. now there were no witnesses and that has

been used by trumps. inside his defense, which they have not offered any counter testimony, they have not called any witnesses. trump himself did not appear in court. and what they're saying is that this was all made up, and it was a conspiracy. now, what donald trump probably sees as the biggest threats here is the threat to his reputation. now, a lot of people said that he doesn't seem to be taking the trial seriously because it didn't show up in court. but it seems that that is part of the strategy. he doesn't want to come to court. he doesn't want to appear like a criminal sitting in a court and giving testimony here. so really for trump, it's his reputation that's on the line here. and that was the w's amy and as if in washington, speaking to us a little earlier. if you are watching dw news still to come german transfer, all of schultz is expected to address the european parliament shortly setting up his vision of europe. mid debates between germany and brussels and other challenges

to you, unity will be bringing you live coverage. as soon as his speech began, sir, i have paid the 1st to india, where every year pilgrims flocked to the city of barbara nancy to die. the hindu faithful. believe that being cremated in the holy city is a pathway to salvation and all those visitors need somewhere to stay before their final journey. sean street has come here to day 200 or not one of the holy cities for he lives in india. how do i, how do i do that? there's any way dirtier reading or that and we, we, these are a guest lecture. so read pro to that to we are going to die here. just 3 and his wife live in. look, she's having a residence, doubling as a retirement home, and a hospice, as they are here to break the cycle of life. and it essential belief among handles

facilities like these offer a life of study and prayer and can be found all over about announcing the, the month old space to the place. so we can only accept people based on the space available. i was thinking as of selling list to help those who are accepted have to cut ties to the regular life and start afresh. for some, it is a difficult choice. the somebody who lives in my children have all grown up the marriage and have children of their own. they're busy in their own world, kind, leaving them was difficult, but leaving my husband was even hot over a 100. that's why i've come with him. thank you. my name is get him to see that when he gets has enough. he's money, carney go. cod is an ancient crematorium by the vengeance. it is one of india's

busiest and most iconic, many deceived, who never make it to the holy city. are brought here and created even without a place in a hospice home, into the bodies believe the dying environment takes them one step closer to return the salvation. the toilet goes to the polls next sunday, and the next government will have to confront numerous problems, including environmental challenges to ireland has to contend with extreme heat, rising sea levels and record pollution. despite the urgency, it seems green issues are not high on the list of voters concerns. thailand, skies are choked with smoke and smoke from forest fires and seasonal crop burning. air pollution in some cities has reached record highs. a song set, you know,

i am founder of thailand's green party says voters understand what's at stake, but they're still not likely to vote for him getting hit on the ones the recurring issues, a pretty big likes to find particle pollution, hot spots and heat waves. i talked to him, people acknowledged those problems, but they still don't believe that the political process could fix them. walk up and down. it's like type people don't trust, politician law, no matter what policy the from no problem. we want to make up according to thailand's health department, more than 2000000 people have required medical treatment this year due to air pollution. but some say the establishment is largely ignoring the public health crisis. pass on april the law. i don't think we would have good policies have enough policies on the environment that you wouldn't be certain. my where i lived for a year has a lot of pollution and the government hasn't solved. but the winter of this election could do something about pollution. put back on idle funds. so

tonight and says that's the greens go to be a voice for change in a crowded political landscape or the place where only the aiming for the prime minister position will be there to solve environmental prob, license and whatnot. but most voters are focused on the power struggle at the top, 2 opposition parties trying to unseat the government with its ties to the military and royal family. the green platform is a side show. yes, the pollution issue is quite a big thing. and in the global scale, but i think the, the most important part of the problem in thailand is not only the pollution in my opinion, i think the most serious problem is the system type government and how they organize. then the recent

polls agree the most popular parties aren't the ones making the environment of priority. while the greens are lagging far behind. but whoever wins can't ignore the small field skies forever. a new bill in hungary pushes people to report same sex couples who have children in their homes. the law already defines the family only as a union between a man and a woman. and legislators want to ban all l. g b, d q. content for minors, w hispanic culture has more adopting a child in hunger res, challenging if you are not married for gay couples, it's been made effectively impossible. martin, an autumn leaf and a registered partnership. in 2015, they decided that a one to raise children to set up the core logic. how do we wanted the adoption to succeed? lastly, let's be frank,

but we didn't really think this would actually become a reality. so i'm quite sure to get that set up, but when the quote and run the same, i was surprised and we felt with any parent ready to adopt, feels and nervousness tag with fear. unhappiness, i was that phone rang before 2020. when it was possible to adopt if one partner applied as a single person that's on march on, became the parent of on the dodge. no 5 years old. the couple of 2nd child honda was adopted by ad um but then a law came into a fact that effectively band same sex partners from raising children. that's because to prime minister, big to or about a family is a union between a man and a woman. nothing else qualifies. the government, ingrained that in the constitution and now wants to make sure no one challenges that call them and share behind me approve the new law. in april, it would create a framework for people to report to a storage the same sex couples with children. now hunger as president v to the bill

. but lawmakers are dealing with it again, which will likely pass in some for hunger is divided when it comes to granting certain rights to ology bbq plus people, especially when it comes to raising children, i think goes with the same sex. parents cannot substitute a real family. a mom is a mom and dad is a dad. only a mother can give to a child real mother loves, i'm gonna go to the get x x in from the perspective and phone society. it does not okay to respond to each other for something which is everyone's own private issue. again, you're due for daniel government, a, a lawyer. the proposed bill is a poor propaganda law to push the government's narrative of an ideal family or them kinda know what needs to worry, that this law will have any consequences, but even without it's not acceptable. it is excluding stigmatizing through the goal of the government. simply to create tension in society. so that means that search i gotta read is martin and adam say even be about then you know, same sex couples,

one to the parents will feel discouraged to even speak about it. but they say self . censorship is from lack of cycle. what is important is visibility to people. see we raise children just like others. we have the same challenges and we loved them the same way. for us, it is most important of the children happy when others can see that they can see there's nothing to be scared off any by the way you, martin and adam where the only ones willing to speak to us some camera. other couples that they were afraid of public backlash. rainbow families have a long road ahead and hungry before they are fully accepted. turkeys, president, redshift type, and one faces off against 3 other candidates and next sundays, landmark presidential and parliamentary elections. it's expected to be a tight race, but there's one group of voters who could prove decisive be under $25.00. the w

correspondent, julia han took to the streets and turkey's largest city assembled to find out what kind of government they're hoping for. a nice touch. these generations that the country has one of the youngest populations in europe, more than 10000000 people under 25 are eligible to vote in the upcoming elections. and many of them are headed to the ballot both for the very 1st time. young people vote will be crucial in the upcoming elections. they will effectively decide whether to extend the president ad one's route into a decade or to opt for something they have never known. so he's under a different leader. so what do young boot is, what is that decision? that's what i want to see. a country that is small democratic, a 104 people live in prosperity and have more freedom in some lives in the hospital

to get to a particular fix to a gotcha. can you tell me i'm giving your gloves? i want to tell you where people are more tolerant and can accept each of those differences that you're going to cover the receive it checklist that checks on boxing. there is a huge number of people who really want the things in this country to change. and this election might be the last chance the eastern wood based post john sage. hope he tells me that moves, young voters are north bound by a particular ideology party affiliations. play less of a role for them than it did for the parents. then divided between the physician and the government says, well, it's so stark, it's so polarized that the young don't really like this. they don't really care about ideology, but they care more about the solutions to problems and problems on plenty food at the end of ridge of telling you of ad one the 2nd time as president use unemployment stands at nearly 20 percent soaring,

inflation has driven out through living costs at purchasing power is really decreased a lot. i mean for example, i used to eat that the restaurant over the, the price is where, okay? but now i can no longer afford it. i'm gonna move it been since you've given much money. you jumping into the ship industry children, but i still cannot pay for my health expenses. i struggle to make a living. she gets there and notified the state of things in turkey, the annoyed by their economic situation, derek on their annoyed by the fact that their future prospects are, are waiting. polls also show the gens that food has strongly opposed collab, jones on lifestyle of democratic rights. and freedoms. thousands of social media uses a being investigated for insulting president ad on a critical tweet. could lend you in prison in today's talking

to and it didn't exist that we need to filter everything. we say you're trying it because it might be used against us be put up. let us, unfortunately, in our country, criticism of the government is being seen as insulting the this. and if they be striking some that, how did you get the all the new york and it's on that. so suddenly the people have to double check what they write on social media us because they have to speak carefully. the us in the, in a normal democracies to the it should not be a problem to criticize the government needs to absorb all moment, turn the car back to the candidates in this election a much older than the young vote has. they are trying to wait president to add one a 69 on the audio look his main challenger.
