good to us. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend dw, the . this is the w news live from the atlanta changing of the russian god in the bottom of us, or near a say they all handing over the hotly contested ukrainian city to regular forces. but ukraine is denying rushes claims that it controls the city. also coming up

germany slips into recession, growth shrinks 50.3 percent in the 1st 3 months of 2023 and economist, the warring, the trend will continue on florida government, around defense. as formerly until the 2024 us presidential race was a tail sick announcement on twitter, his neck total beating rival the drum for the republican nomination. plus the rock collections tina ton died at the age of $83.00 rocha icon on truth. tell us she was a woman at the center, a male dominated music business, and she managed to change it and have fun doing so we look back at tina ton his life. and so i'd like to see the,

the money, if you please make it in welcome to the program rushes meisner. a wagner group says it has spelled said, withdrawing from the ukranian city of beth note, and handing over its positions to the russian military thought in the most. and res claimed full control of the east and ukrainian city on south today. and what is being the longest baffle of the war, but he is denying that the city has full and gotten elite lead. you have any progression says his troop withdrawal will be completed by the 1st of june. but he says his forces will be prepared to return to beth note, if the regular russian army is unable to manage the situation that you get more from the rena marilyn a senior fellow and will studies at king's college london. welcome to marina. now progression has threatened to pull his troops out of the documents several times. it's never happened. do you think that they are really going to leave now? i am good day. thank you for having me. well,

i think that it would be logical for precaution to withdrawal because he's been fighting for buck. more talk is comprised that has been fighting for buckling for over a year now. and therefore, they would need to regroup and recover in the face of the losses that the queen has suffered. and according to precaution, phone statements sung. 20000 have perished inbox and therefore he would needs a time to regroup in order to be able, as he said himself to return and to solve as a problem set, the russian forces cannot say, therefore, we do expect that of course and will indeed withdrawal and take a back seat for a while before there is a new task force. it wasn't in ukraine, as you say, i mean, they've been leading the months long baffled to boston loot now. so rather than taking on a new role in the next phase of the war,

you think they are going to keep a low price profile for now to well, i think it makes sense for wagner because um they, they, they would need to regroup, recover and determines or priorities in terms of whereas a russian forces would be going next. and this is difficult because right now we're hearing from if i look for the locks at the you print, encounter offensive has allegedly started 2 days ago. so we don't know where this send her off and will be the next send true when it comes to the battlefield. we have a several areas where the premium troops trying to move for they are doing battle recognizance. however, i think that because bottom with is now a clear, the according to precaution holding box moved will be a less or a task which he hopes that the russian armed forces will be capable of doing so that he can do something else. and therefore, he would need a couple of months to group recover and maybe towards the differences. whereas the

ministry of defense um the difference is that there rose some 6 months ago related to his criticisms of, of the military in general. and i wanted to ask you, in russia has launched numerous strikes and recent days, but ukraine says it's short. most of those missiles and drones down the question is kind of, it's a defensive sustain, such a high level of success to well, i think given the fact that the leak to an intelligence documents a couple of weeks ago indicated that the ukraine is indeed lacking in error defense missiles, what the russians are probably trying to do is to deplete ukrainian era defense system so that they can take advantage of them and increase their rules for the or air force to support the ground forces. so apparently, the idea is depleting and sending as many missiles and roads as possible in order

to send be able to gain air superiority of this comes, especially in light of the discussions of the transfer of f sixteens to ukraine. so russia is probably trying to use this window of opportunity to establish yes, a priority over ukraine arena moran from kings college london. thank so much for that analysis. thank you. now, the german economy has fallen into recession. the gross domestic product shrunk by 0.3 percent in the 1st 3 months of the year, and growth has remained in negative territory for the 2nd quarter in a row. now, according to the latest numbers, it's private consumption. so the money people spend on food closing a new cause, for example, that has failed to support the economy in the face of high inflation rates. the

recession in europe largest economy comes despite germany being sped, the economic worst case scenario that many economists had said when so it turned out was unusually mild, had it been colder. the country would have faced a gas shortage that could've left much deepest gauze on the economy. it's, it's a more i'm joined to buy robot watts from a business a desk. i get to see you rock. can you tell us, please, you know how to germany end up in this situation? it seems amazing because things were supposed to be so different if it comes to mind back to the start of 2022. it was supposed to be the year when germany is economy emerged from the depths of the pen demik roaring with all of the factories bucket full pallets. and you know, this was gonna be the recovery and it's turned out to absolutely not have been that . why? because nobody counted on russia's invasion of ukraine, which had an enormous impact, particularly on gemini, because of its reliance on russia,

if the energy and that caused energy bills to rise. we also have legacy issues from depend demik. that meant prices for all sorts of things were rising. last year, things are getting tough. the households that bills were increasing. and what's a natural thing to do when you're paying as a lot for bills is to tighten your balance. and that's exactly what people did. and so over the last quarter of last year in the 1st quarter of this year, households did not spend enough to make up for all of those other factors. okay, so the question of course now is what's gonna happen next? how long will this last? yeah, so we've had 2 quotes as in a row, which is what makes of what we call a technical recession. bill we have as a well, some of those factors impact pretty much all of those factors that allows us to get to this point in the 1st place. all still in place, inflation is still above 7 percent surprises, all still rising, the yours or an economy. it slowed last month. we found out this week, but what is different is china, which is a major fact to try to reopen the balance of this year. and that means that to me,

starting to supply china, both factors that are outputs is increasing, which is of an enormous driver as everyone knows of the german economy. so maybe we can get out of it this closer, but maybe not the overall prediction for this year. from both the german government and the only math is a very small amount of drives from the general economy but, and at least pick these are revised because for the 1st month they weren't expecting that the 1st 3 months, even. they weren't expecting that somebody went into a recession area this year, so they might be revisiting that because it was a very, very fraud child christ that they were looking at anyway. okay, so a glimmer of hope. but with being castle broke lots from our business department. thank you so much. now, the governor of the us state of florida run desantis has formerly announce his bid to become america's next president. it was a bumpy still to the long awaited announcement when his much height to roll out on twisted his technical difficulties. it took almost cold for an hour to get going

off the woods desantis released this campaign video is run, sets up a clash with the conservative front runner and republican rivalry for my president . don't we try to fax over fear education and his the moment desantis announced his white house bid in an audio chat with twitch. i own i eat on musk. well, i am running for president of the united states to lead our great american come back. we know our country is going in the wrong direction, we see it with our eyes, and we steal it in our bones. our southern borders collapse. drugs are pouring into the country. our cities are being hollowed out by spiking crime. the federal government's making it harder for the average family to make ends meet and do a pain and maintain a middle class lifestyle and our president, while he lacks vigor flounders in the face of our nations. challenges and creates is cues from the woke mom. it's got more from the w report, the pizza, but let down. i'm wanting to pay to tell us more about who wrong desantis is and

maybe more importantly what he stands for. all right, well i understand this is a 2nd from governor who just won the election in a landslide back in november. he's massively populated homes state, but he's also really controversial, please. which is essentially the face of opening poll, ultra conservative wing of the republican party at cheese, wrapped up in astonishing records of, of really for tony and policies. and it's in his home state. you severely restricted access to a fortune, and he is restricted sex and gender identity educational schools. he's to try to track down on the teaching of, you know, the us, it's very trouble history with race and slavery. and he's also going really hard after the price. he's gone after the b t q community so, so he's really the, the, the face of appear conservative movement within the republican party. and he's

proud to be clear that under his reign of florida is where well goes to dying. he is running on a promise to really take that sort of blueprint, national, apply that to the national state. and that really would shift us quite drastically . not in a very conservative direction. i mean, this is the thing now, isn't it? he's taking his message from regional to national. so how well do you think this whole political style will translate to a national audience as it is really difficult to predict? there's certainly a very kind of firm it portion of the republican party that's very open to that. but we have also seen that a lot of people are, are, you know, especially when it comes with portion, for instance, that was not a big seller for republicans during the, the mid terms. back in november they lost quite a lot of races that they should have won because of worries, among other things over access to abortion. so it's not quite clear that is for

coney policies would translate to a national level, you know, especially with more modern republicans and independents that are really of you know, group that both parties are fighting for. just a quick question about foreign policy pizza. there was a big sigh of relief here in europe when donald trump was not to re elected. how would europe potentially react to a desantis presidency? yeah, i think it's, it's hard to overstate that farm is that the trump presidency really inflicted on, on europe in america's allies. you know, here in europe, that was the sense that trump really pulled the rock from under, you know, europe and, and expose the vulnerability. i think also um within your its reliance on america to protect itself. um and so or i think it a says this presidency, it will, it's not quite clear that it was b as i solution is as a trump was when he was president c, but he's made statements such as, you know,

calling the conflict between ukraine or the board returning your crane and russia really a territorial dispute. and so i think there is a fear that is bite and is not re elected. is that, is that true? how to pull your back to a here just of immense uncertainty and it would put a lot of pressure on europe to really step up. and i think one of the players that they would look to would be germany to, you know, really step up. so the question is, i think if you know, transferred all the shoals and other european leaders have learned the right lessons from the 4 years of truck. and if they essentially created contingency plans to meet the moment, the domain is paid to the house. thank so much for that. thank you. okay, let's take a look now. some of the stories making headlines around the world today. iran has unveiled what is it says is an upgraded version of its car car. i'm sha ballistic

missile. it is said to have a range of 2000 kilometers and carry a $1.00 ton will head. the announcement comes in mid mounting tension with israel. iran missile and nuclear programs. the past will tie soon. my wall has last last the us pacific territory of guam fost, moving winds and heavy rains. milwaukee is the strongest type soon to hit guam in nearly 2 decades, tearing down trees, rules and power lines. the national weather service full costs in the wall will intensify, but is moving away from guam of the open sea. as a fire has consumed a 7 story building in the center of the australian city of sydney, 100 and the si, fi of fights is baffling. the blaze couldn't save the historic structure a full perhaps factory. several parts of it collapsed, but they did manage to stop before it from spreading to neighboring buildings.

russia is hosting talks between armenia and as a by show on in moscow, in a bit to diffuse tensions between the 2 countries over the disputed territory of nicole in a car boss of the kremlin has recently been playing a peacekeeping role between the 2 former soviet countries which have fought to was in recent years, but all media has voice this facet. this dissatisfaction with russia's role and alliances are being put on the pressure reports at jennifer pica has more the roots of this conflict go back 100 years after the russian revolution. 1917 armenia and other page on fell under bolshevik control and became part of the soviet union that kept a little intentions until the soviet union collapsed. successfully at the drastic tests, no territorial conflict. at the end of the soviet union, 3 quarters of the territory was populated by armenians and one quarter by either by

johnny's were then distributed over the territory. it wasn't possibility divided territory from an ethnic point of view about yourself tired and content. 1991. the people who now go now cut off, i decided to officially break away from other page on the armenians, if not garner got up ah, supported by our menia for a war of independence until 1994. i finally, gardner thought, our boss declared, it's independence from us, or based on its status was meant to be finally decided on in peace negotiations. but they never took place in 2020 as their visual and invaded, never know, caught up off and conquered large parts of the region and a 6 week long war contract signed by both countries and mediated by russia. stop the fighting. the ceasefire was

supposed to be safety guarantee for the armenian population. living in the gartner cut off. but on september 12, 2020, azerbaijan attacked internationally recognized armenian territory. while armenia is main goal is to keep its territorial integrity. azerbaijan has a different agenda. their goal is to have a corey door to other visual ins x. please knock each yvonne and it's closest ally, turkey. at the moment, other bees on blocks the watching cord or road that links our media. now gordon. oh god above described as a lifeline for residents. armenia has so far relied on the backing of russia. a long time military partner that supports come into question courses or rush as a position in the region as we can because of the war in your trains. moscow was already at this point, i mean you're in the 2020 was that's what i mean. then rush,

i had always states as i go into the car, but it's not covered by security guarantees as of problems that was accepted. but through the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, russia has failed yet. so that's the december lashing car. the in that going to kind of ask is blocked by either by john is just to even set up a check point there. elizabeth contradicts the seat by agreement, which states that the corda will remain on the russians. peacekeepers control. we've just talked like, with russia, looking the other way. the competition for influence is brewing between the u and u. s. on one hand, and russia on the other. the west, once armenia to remain democratic and independent, in doing so, further weakening russia for russia in it's ambitions that poses a threat. with well efforts to settle the conflict during going, the last century has left its toll on armenia and azerbaijan. an end to the

conflict is not in sight. now in spain, rail madrid showed the best support for teammate vanessia as junior officer, he was subjected to races. tones from valencia finds last week. every rail play came out wearing the number 20 jersey in support of the nephew had of the latest lead match in the 20th minute fans applauded enchanted his name. the 20 year old stood up and saluted. we back, donna, with the woods racists out of football, was held up by players from side squads before the match today was initially suspected that record was received. the 30 are now a legend has passed away, but her message lives on seeing a teen a ton of own touch for my using it to change the world. and the 1980s she spoke house about her abusive marriage to co performa like ton, was trying to establish a solo career, despite fearing the consequences. she ended up paving the way for so many women in

rock music, but black and white. when it comes to music legends for many, tina turner was simply the best us president current and former as well as artist diana ross. mick jagger, mariah carey, have all put out statements of love and admiration fans also like flowers on her star at the hollywood walk of fame. just the black people in demo sees the doors open so many dollars for so many is even if they don't even know if she was a very, very strong woman, i think, you know, to go through what she did and still manage to prosper and to move on born in brownsville, tennessee, in 1939 at turner saying in gospel choir as a child. later she began touring with her husband. i turn her in his bank, but he was an abusive man. she eventually escaped their marriage in her thirties.

throughout the 19 eighties and nineties, the queen of rock and roll thrilled audiences with her powerful voice and the boundless energy. everyone is now going to jim, jim's and exercising and carrying on. and it is said that it's good for your help. all of us yelling and, and i've been singing and travelling in dancing for 35 years. so i think that my work has taken care of all of my aerobic classic. so that's the answer to that one . all right. she recorded huge hits, including 1984 is what's love got to do with it. winning a ground needs for her music as well as hall of fame and lifetime achievement

awards and earning millions of adoring fans along the way. after a farewell tour and 2009, she retired to switzerland with her partner or wooden box. i can describe a few things that feels wonderful. this country side, the cattle, the farm houses. it's a reminder of the past and tennessee when i was a young girl, which is a very nice sort of mountains. it's such a young doing this distance. the height of magic, the tina turner was 83 years old. as i'm looking to take a closer look at life on korea of tina, turn up with karen homestead from d w culture. karen, there are so many words that we can use to describe lena on that. i mean uh, shaking explosive, inspirational suddenly, unforgettable. give us a sense of what made has such an icon. well, it's funny because i, i had to sort of the same,

the same instinct to look at all of the attributes pouring in on twitter and see what people were saying about here. and i've got to, i've got a list of completely different adjectives. but when you see all those adjectives that, that everybody's using, i mean a explosive role, magnetic dynamic, i can add a few more, you know, i think it's clear that it was her energy. i think the music world really, really stood still for a moment last evening when, when they realize that we lost this powerful voice. she was sort of the proverbial force of nature and really an absolute power house life performer, but also very much in her own life. you know, she overcame so many obstacles as were heard there in the film and barack obama. the comment that he made was that she was unapologetically herself. and i think that that really resonated with a lot of people, especially with women. yeah, i mean, you know, role model is something that we hear a little, isn't it? yeah, that's really being on it as, as, as a role model for many universe and music as in her life is as you was saying, can expand on that level. why was she held up as such?

and it's also, she was an incredible role model for women because she's survived this abusive relationship with like turner. and he was of course, very important for her because he was the gateway to her career and he gave her the name and she was able to take the name, but it was what's, what's really interesting is that she in so many at so many points in her career, she never took no for an answer. i mean, you know, he wouldn't even give her the audition that she wanted initially to, to sing with him. and she described him like one time in the middle of a, in an intermission during one of his set science song by bb king, and then ended up, you know, singing for the whole rest of the evening. so she really kind of soon as i convinced him and the rest is history between the 2 of them. she was also, of course, a role model for musicians. and for black musicians who was the 1st black musician and the 1st woman on the cover of rolling stone magazine backend in november of 1967. so she really paced away for so many solo acts. and of course, let's not forget that she was 44 when private dancer came out, you know,

so she also really pioneered this is very active, sexy, successful women at a later age, which a lot of women have appreciated. and i think, you know, men found her incredibly inspiring as well. absolutely. i mean, that's the thing. it was almost 40 years ago, as you say, when private dumps that came out in 1984. is her music still relevant today? would you say, i would say definitely, i mean, i know when i go home to my home country of canada, she's still on the radio there. and it's, it's interesting to note that most of the music from the 1980s is still relevant. it's, it's been continually sort of repurposed re samples and serving as inspiration for an awful lot of, for a lot of a lot of roommates and covers. so i would say, yeah, the inspiration that has it has given to other act it's most definitely still relevant. right. you think of these cultures? current homestead, thank you so much. and we will remember tina ton, we certainly will. pleasure. and here is

a reminder of our top story today. russia's mastery and dogma group says it has stuff withdrawing from best notes on handing over its positions to the russian military. ukraine denies that russia controls assisting and that's all we have time for, but to stay tuned for our environment show you co india. that's coming out next to the look at how communities all coping with climate change. pollution and the guest team. i'm at and you could physically cannot thank you so much for watching the
