can and 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 on to the russian city of buck moot, denying them a 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. you'll remember those lightning losses in effective region song shoes and because of russian troops kind of hank of floods back onto the eastern bank for the pro river, leaving behind lots of equipment that the ukrainians are still using spare parts. so that 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. all me, some of that is just because the findings have dug in and have calculated, they think that those you print your losses environment are worth it. that the russian loss is a much bigger and that by holding onto the 1015 maybe trying to send it back and they can really find the rest of the troops and spread the most in the across the rest, the front lines in the hope that then leading into expect to counter offensive ukraine ships 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 handle. 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 a little. so for next, thank you very much. that was our correspondent and ukrainian capital kid nic connelly. and with me here in the studio, emily, sherwin, thank you both very much. i hello cindy and authorities say 13 people

including children were killed in air strikes on the guns this trip carried out by israel's military overnight. israel's military says it was targeting leaders of the islamic jihad, a group regarded as a terrorist organization by the u. n. that us an apartment building of the house were reportedly hit islamic jihad says, 3 of of the senior commanders were among the debt dw, corresponding tony kramer is in jerusalem earlier. she gave me an update on what happened in gaza overnight. oh yes, it is. randy on a brief to forward to seeing the early morning and they basically are the is really a f was struck 3 targets. so target of killings of 3 senior come on. this of the militant group is telling me too hot overnight in the early morning hours one strikes you, the building in the office that is in the cells of the goals and streets and 2 in kansas city. and as you said, they were also civilians. uh,

apparently in this building, so we are waiting for more details on that. a girl that has the authority such as at least 12 people were killed among the women. and children as well says that these members of islamic jihad were involved are responsible for record fire and for coordinating attacks and the ok part of westbank or the f was also struck other . but they describe this military targets in the gaza strip as also admitted terry operation going on and the occupied westbank and the city of novelist right now. so this seems to be the opening strike. and of course we are waiting no 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 and anyway, well, this is of course now the main question. we seen that and deposit of course it is expected that there will be a response we're expecting for us. the funeral is to take place and then to respond

to them is allow me to have the question that's being discussed, as, of course, especially in as well. how much, how much the minutes and group home 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 what 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 of 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 correspond to tony kramer. interesting.

it's catching up on some of the stories making headlines around the world today. china has ordered a canadian diplomat to leave the country after all the while announced the expulsion of a chinese diplomat for allegedly intimidating lawmaker. the member of parliament had led an effort for canada to declare china as treatment of the week or another most of minorities as china. so more than $10000.00 people rallied in the serbian capital belgrade and response to last week's to mass shootings which left 17 people dead in less than 48 hours. the protesters called for the resignation of government officials, serbia has the highest gun ownership in europe. the wildfires and canada have forced about $30000.00 residents from their homes, firefighters are struggling to contain over a 100 fires which are threatening towns and have halted oil production in the western province of alberta, fighting incidents, capital. how to continues as the warring sides hold true stocks and saudi arabia

the us and saudi back negotiations in general have so far failed to yield. to break through the conflict between the cities army and its rival. the parent military rapids support forces is now when it's 4th week. a court in the united states has heard the closing arguments in a civil trial involving raped accusations against donald trump, for magazine call them this e. jean carol has the ledge. the trump raped her in the changing room of the new york department store in the mid 1990. trump continues to deny the charge she has chosen not to testify during the 2 week trial. is legal team is accused carol of wanting to the rail trumps 2024. whitehouse rates are corresponding to in washington. amy and as of have, has 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 the 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 gotten 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. he 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 all sitting in a court and giving testimony here. so really for trump, it's his reputation. that's on the line here. that was amy and as if in washington speaking to us a little while ago. though the new bill in hungary pushes people to report same sex couples who have children in their homes. law already defines the family only is a union between a man and a woman. and legislators want to bend all l g b t q content for minors. dw is funny for char 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 partner shit. in 2015, they decided that a one to race children to set up the core logic. how do we wanted the adoption to

succeed? last? 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 phone rang the same i was surprised. and then we felt with any parent ready to adopt feels i know, nervousness tag with fear and happiness. i with that phone rang before 2020. when it was possible to adopt if one partner applied as a single person, that's a martin and became the parent of on the dodge no 5 years old. the couple of 2nd child honda was adopted by adam. but then a law came into a fact that effectively ban same sex partners from raising children. that's because the prime minister, big to, or about a family is a union between a man and a woman. nothing else qualifies the government in grain that in the constitution and now wants to make sure no one challenges that call them and share behind me approved a new law. in april. it would create a framework for people to report to authorities. 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 l. g b, d, q plus people. especially when it comes to raising children, i think goes, it's the same sex parents cannot substitute a real family. a mom is a mom, a dad is a dad. only a mother can give to a child real mother the love i'm gonna go get x x in from the perspective and phone society. it is not okay to respond to each other for something which is everyone's own private issue. again, you're due for danielle government, a, a lawyer. the proposed bill is a your 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 costs. it's stigmatizing through the goal of the government simply to create tension in society. so that means that search i got

to read is martin and adam say, even without the new law, same sex couples, one to the parents will feel discouraged to even speak about it. but they say self . censorship is from lack of both cycle. what is important is visibility to the 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 to the children happy. when others can see that they can see there is nothing to be scheduled for anybody. oil, martin and adam where the only ones willing to speak to us and camera. other a couple south, they were afraid of public backlash. rainbow families have a long road ahead and hungry before they are fully accepted. you are watching dw news from berlin. just reminder of the top stories were following for you this, our german transfer. all of schultz has presented his vision of the european union to lawmakers of the european parliament. instructors were called forth, reformed,

and enlarged you. there is more g, a political in outlook and factions. but he emphasized the european commission should have more powers to ensure all members uphold the blocks. principles. also have touched on long relations with china, which he said is he solved as a partner. but underscored earlier calls to address the can always dependencies on beijing and reduce the russia has been marketing, is victory over nazi germany with a traditional military grade on red square. in a delicate speech, president vladimir 13, said the world was the turn. it was a turning point and attacked what he called western global as it leads. he said, were to blame for the war in ukraine. he praised war veterans and present the soldiers, but the so called military special military operation. this year's parade was close

to the public, and other events were cancelled due to security concerns. coming up next, we've got close up for you looking at the fates of migrants in south the coming to south eastern europe, migraines, who risk their lives, trying to cost the f, bruce river into a year on terry market for me and all of us here. think of the nameless stead. hundreds of migrants of dying along greece as border with tucker, a greek forensics x, but investigates. because the victims no time to lose their lives. but

often their identity to close the ship, your guide to life in the digital world. to explore the latest online trends, navigate your way through the digital journal goals. get a global perspective, will be your guide and show you what's possible. you decide what really matters to you. shift in 45 minutes on dw, the species populate our planet. most of them are here long before humans came along that we began and the diversity of sanctions

for additional miles, the ended, they are going to preserve this habitat. the wild dials start to main, 19 dw, the goose. but these are the personal belongings. one gave me the number number to the case. the

engagement represents a human log in the a few kilometers from the turkish greek border. the police got a tip off. there was a body in the forest now cost us public recess to meet us. the local funeral director has been given the job of recovering the remains with these colleagues. a police officer, let's get started before it starts the nice area and actually if we weren't paying for this reason, the course of the day we take everything just gloves.

one route taken by migrants trying to get from turkey to the european union, passes through the forest of the everest region. most migrants travel in groups. this disused shed seems to have served as a makeshift shelter. the sleeping bags looked as if they'd been abandoned in panic . crossing from turkey to greece is a legal for migrants. without a visa, they hide from the police and they try to make their way through this difficult terrain to leave the border behind them. the, the funeral director has no idea what conditions the body is in. it's over here not far from the everest and the regional capital alex and truthfully, is the university hospital forensics professor and medical examiner.

pablo's path lead to his works here. all the migrants bodies found here are brought to him after thing that wasn't enough. in the last 22 years, i've seen about 610 bodies on the greek side alone sort of the radically hypothetically. we could say that there are just as many data on the talk your side i'm so we're talking about 12021500 people. so that the pacific i get the bought, we receive a lot more set requests from that from relatives. there is also austin level that that's the key the forensic scientist works on behalf of the state. he doesn't just determine the cause and time of dash, most of the migrants are carrying any form of id. so we also tries to identify them that they often will. i'm a likely, in the case of dead migraines, who can attain to our country legalese and like we fast examine them externally and

describe that client gun with shoes. it's called what type of they have with them from the books we photographed them. so then we remove the clouds and look the personal offense and documents just in the here was one with that of up something about possibly kind of game. when i got this little my, the from the medical examiner had more cases in 2022 than ever before. most young man finally get into form. the head is built on this side and the legs stay or the body nice. he is the sort of stop by from this side all the way conduct told a examinations necessary for a proper or thompson, somebody to solve the case. but if you want to get the videos to present the cool the region here is named after the arrows. the river on the border between greece and turkey, the external border of the e u. the frontier is heavily guarded. since 2020

a fence has been steadily growing along the length of the river, the barrier is meant to keep migrants out of the u. but many attempt of crossing never the less and dying in the process. then this isn't there shouldn't be any particularly hard cases for someone like me. but when children are involved it small, difficult, far as going through a funeral director and his assistant have found the body. it seems other migrants have buried him in a shallow grave. it's close to the surface, the backwoods pull it pull because of his name. yes,

that's it. false. that was oh and then it okay, that's actually a better method. do you have any issues? no. the other migrants often take that. okay. done. the body of the dead man and some of his clothes now have to be taken to alex and truthfully so professor pav leaders can examine now the how old do you think i have his id phones are all that's left with the

cost as papa chris has to meet us stops off at his funeral home. he built up the business together with his family. he also deals with ordinary cases, but nowadays recovering dead bodies from the border mix up a large part of his work. this is where i wash the bodies and then put them in the refrigerator a. yeah, well that's the reason once i brought 35 of them here after they drowned and the address if i, dentist, occasion, as possible,

relative living in europe often come to pay their last respect here at the funeral home. this court clinic, it's very hard, they're crying, they're all crying. can you imagine that if you just kindly travel so far to either pick up the body of a dead relative or to bury them here to bow tie before i bring the body to turkey, and it's transported home from there because the court a it's a family can't afford to have their loved ones body repatriated. it is buried here in a cemetery, especially set up for muslims who come from elsewhere. their countries of origin are inscribed on their grades, somalia, afghanistan, syria, people of all ages. many of the grades are fresh, the

what makes this border so dangerous. the river looks harmless. it's shallow in many places. what that most of us and then there's a beginning of the process, a dangerous rather for that it's broad and deep in monster. and so human smugglers don't allow microns to take any long gauge on both that, but that's one thing that for now, now, falls to as several layers of clothing for the 2 or 3 pounds of trousers o 5 shots, the long a that this has been the blue this, the bottom, the grow up, we'll get just the slightest thing happens in the bug cap sizes of nice things with all of these kind of like deadlines to settle. so many people are crammed into the boats that they often take over drowning is the most common cause of death. hypothermia is the 2nd most common other depths are linked to exhaustion. the way none of these people are exhausted have was for the many hours the that's

what the last, why there are other causes of database science drowning up about the script with a level of listen. imagine a man in a tired and way. i talked to swimming across the river. yes. and wearing many lands of clothing for the intake, so wrapped, and that was not. it was by government support. that's why hypothermia is the 2nd most common cause of dance. people keep but of course that or so some people with preexisting medical conditions they want to wear off of the blue dying from over exemption spots. yeah, this is already done by the time the funeral director takes the remains from the forest to the hospitals institute for forensic medicine professor pub latest plants to forensically examine the bones the next morning. the remains are stored at 0 degrees celsius and a more refrigerator. who was this person? who might be looking for them in hanover,

save of ca, c is trying to trace his younger brother. he's a cruise who fled to germany in 2015 after a war broke out in syria. he's just finished training to be a truck driver. the rest of his family sled to a rock along with his brother mohammed of all day. he was very good in school and so he always ranked 1st or 2nd, and we wanted to offer him a better life. and that was also my goal home and see if it's impossible to put into words for indescribable sense. we are very close to one another on the

spot because i was very lonely the whole time. i have a lot of friends but still, but it's nothing like being brothers enough money. no matter who your friends with this family is always number one plus ours. i was really looking forward to him coming, but of because the situation was also difficult for set are costing stanley and rock the family decided to send his 14 year old brother to germany in fall 2021 across the effortless route, the visa and just like everyone else was with the people smuggler or on foot with a boat and illegally because it's not possible to do it legally, which i know. and anyway, we didn't have any documents in syria oceans. you then got in october 2021. mohammed got in touch from turkey and said that he was planning to cross the

emeralds river with a group of others. on the 21st of october 2021 instead of causing got a phone call in hanover shows. um it was the people smugglers set this up. you know, they said that something that happened to that mohammed had fallen into the waters and they said they waited but couldn't find him initially. that was a line. then we found out that they hadn't waited and simply carried on a significant amount. they were frightened because what they were doing was illegal . and then i and i said any gardner, he flew to greece to everyone, to look for his brother. he had his dna registered back at home, he scoured facebook, visiting search platforms for missing migraines, all in vain. the internet is swirling with rumors, horror stories that are missing migrants center got to be as offer as to find well how much body for 2000 years. he ignored them, hoping for a sign of life from his brother. this is from ha, it's really difficult,

misplaced before it gets hard to put out of your mind. because no matter how long the wait long of but she'll f, i hope it'll end. well. a good morning. i'm just going to the next day, pablo's probably to is has to examine the bones from the forest. he's already received instructions from the state prosecutor's office. the forensics professor has been the medical examiner for the ambrose region for 22 years. he gets inquiries from all over the world, from people desperate to find out what is become of their loved ones, asking whether he had identified them among the bodies recovered from the boarder regence. they send photos,

videos taken shortly before the crossing spots by the river, where the missing person was last seen. pod latest is not permitted to respond directly until he has verified the identity of the person making the inquiry say about a kind of scene from hanover has sent him the photo of his missing brother mohammed or they look at us and listen to them. i'm additionally looking at hand products on the bicycle object line kind of low retail enough to on then the love seeing the see the cheek bones you what the shape of the face of this one is. think of something that phone compared with one month ago. i think i think there's a couple the account to risk sticks that you can easily recognizable music, particularly anything linked to bones, what or excuse me or style. is there any chance that the remains found in the forest could.
