the young people clearly have the solutions, the future of the 77 percent, every weekend on dw the this is dw use life from the, then mo, finding breaks out in southern new crime, keys, the queues as moscow of showing his own way. people are being evacuated from flooding correspond to destruction, of the kind of kept them reforming. europe's asylum system ministers have another go with reaching a deal to better control migration to the block. and standing with the bad fence of

germany. come stein to attend the middle groups, concepts and munich, despite the accusations of sexual assaults, against frontman, till the end of on the dates as well, and welcome ukraine has denied fresh reports that its long awaited count her offensive against the russian invasion has begun. says while ukrainian officials say moscow has begun, shelving the city a pass on my residence of being evacuated from a flood caused by the destruction of the of them. at least 9 people reported to have been wounded by the showing of the presidents soleski visited the region, calling for clear and quick global response to the funding arena. barone is the defense analyst from king's college funding. i asked her what she makes of these fresh reports of accounts preventive. right,

so the counter offensive has been in the media for so long, and it has created an immense pressure on the political leadership and give and in turn, the political leadership creates pressure on the middle of free to contact with congress offensive because after supplying so much military equipment to ukraine, western allies want to see something for that. and the situation hasn't been ideal for the bringing forces to, to push for the counter offensive. so now what we're seeing and this is what in the high level, the not cold, the strategy of files and the cops, namely battle recognizance by you creating forces to see where a russian defense is. are there a week is because the russians had enough time to build up actual defenses along the entire of front line in order to prevent any potential losses of territory after their experience was due and leave mon, so for the ukrainians,

it's now very difficult to determine the spot, especially as it's being discussed everywhere and the potential directions and to basically maintains a surprise initiative in terms of where to begin to come for offensive. and i don't think that we will be seeing a huge spectacular battle. instead, we will see different attacks in different directions as we have seen in the past weeks, but nobody in ukraine will be labeling any thing as to avoid the potential misunderstanding, especially if those battled recognizance attempts do not lead to an increased attack and breaking through the russian lines of defense. let's talk a bit about the dam breach that's close to the mens flooding. russia it says it could work in its favor militarily. can we expect that to be true as well? it is difficult because um both sides would have some benefits from the dam

explosion. and then october 2022 was i had the ukrainian molded for intelligence crew or carrillo. but donald has discussed the possibility of the russians, the ex loadings of them. and he said that it would be silly for the russians to do that, because that would force or forces to retreat back to premier, to plot the eastern bank or for some which is under the control of the russians. so it would create a humanitarian catastrophe as a dead, am possibly distracting the russian forces and also washing ways of defenses that the russians build along the d for river including mine fields. so from this perspective, the russians wouldn't benefit that much. given the fact that the ukrainian forces as well, donald south himself wouldn't be slowed down that much,

only by 2 weeks approximately. and we have seen ukrainian forces blowing up the air pin them in to safety of so the risk of possibilities that this could benefit ukrainians more by disorienting, the russians they, there have been attacks in belgrade region to try to kind of divert the attention of the russian troops and now with this down, that's a kind of potential possibility of what could have happened, but we will probably never know or any of our own. thank you very much for bringing us your analysis. thank you. i also got the russian perspective on the counter offensive from dw correspondents, emily show in, in riga as well versa, has actually been talking about a large scale offensive from the ukranian side essentially all week. so for several days now, we've heard various reports from the russian for an excuse me,

the defense ministry. of course, i'm talking about victories on the russian side and kind of beating back a ukrainian offensive. so today we heard a statement from the defense minister himself that gave show a goose at that russian forces had beaten back ukrainian offensive for separate times when the ukrainians tried to get through russian defences. and he said that uh, the ukranian side had seen big losses, including uh, 30 tags and almost a 1000 soldiers killed. of course we don't know whether that's true. we can check that information. um we also saw today and a video actually of the defense industry, kind of inspecting equipment, military equipment, tags, rows and rows of tags and use your mission to, to check that they're ready for battle. so kind of trying to send a strong visual signal as well that russia is really ready for whatever ukraine is throwing at it. and that perhaps also those um can consistent rumors that we've

been hearing about munitions shortages that those um are off. what do we know about evacuation if it's in the occupied areas of hassle? and so we know that the kremlin spokesperson and also local efficient officials in that occupied area have been complaining about showing from the ukrainian side onto the actuation efforts. we've also heard similar accusations from the ukranian side that russia is apparently selling people trying to be evacuated and also the, the actual rescuers when it comes to the actual situation in the russian occupied areas. um, it seems to be pretty bad. so essentially, um on the left eastern bank of see i think it pro river that's lower lying. so that means that it's been harder hit by flooding. more water has reached that area and the ukrainian local position, port politician said that 68 percent of the flooding was actually in the russian

occupied area. and when it comes to the evacuation efforts, the information that we've been getting is, is kind of patchy. so russian independent media yesterday we're reporting that some local residents in the russian controlled, occupied areas of catch on or waiting for 2 days for evacuate or is to come with very little food and water, some of them kind of on their rooms in their attics. because the water had been rising, and now we are hearing from the russian emergency ministry that evacuation efforts there are ongoing. today, they reported that several groups of emergency workers are working on the scene with a kind of suction to get rid of the water. and also with, with the boats to help people out. so hopefully for the locals, there are things maybe looking up, but the situation seems to be pretty bad. you know, he's emily, show and read. good. thank you. and he's a look at some of the other stories making headlines to sell you things. a lot of

insulated ski denies and both mentioned the sabotage of the north stream gas pipelines is remarks for low claims in the washington post that keeps secretly planned the attacks months before last these explosions. so lensky says he never acts like that and has demanded any evidence. 4 children and 2 adults have been injured in a 9th attack and the french, alpine down of and see police arrested. the suspect that attack of syria national with refugee status. they say the children involved would just toddlers, old age between 22 months and 3 years. there were signs phone with us president donald trump may soon face criminal charges over alleged mishandling of classified documents. according to american media trumps lawyers have been told he's a target in a federal investigation. around a 100 documents sponsors classified with retrieve from his private residence in florida last over an estimated 45000 rivers packed the streets of tel

aviv for the annual pride parade. it was also attended by anti government protest as the l g b t q. community has reported an increase in hubbard for pick incident since may have been netanyahu's. ultraconservative cabinet was assembled in december. politicians here in europe has long been divided over migration. in particular, how to fairly distribute asylum seekers across the interior ministers have been meeting a box and bug and hopes of agreeing a deal on reforming the system. southern countries that have been bearing the brunt of a legal migration that demanding more support from the eastern and opens neva it's, it's hope these places talks good the, to a bank for a years of debate and disagreement have left your ups migration and asylum policy o c, more than a 1000 people have dr. undergoing missing trying to reach the continent this year.

last and what many called the broken system. european union rules say people must claim asylum in the country where they 1st arrive. and that's left, some governments demanding change. over time, we have seen an erosion of trust where, for instance, southern member states have felt that they have not been able to receive the support that they need as right wing parties as populous parties have gained majorities and several member states. there has been a shift towards the right and therefore also more restrictive immigration policies . southern coast to e. u. countries like italy, spain and greece received the most irregular arrivals in the block with boats often traveling from to easier morocco and turkey. a past attempt at forcing states further afield to take in some of those migrants failed due to opposition from hungry, poland, and many others. no brussels latest compromised upon with a low countries to opt out welcoming more migrants. if they contribute to the costs

of hosting or deporting people elsewhere, this is also in the tables a proposal to create separate tracks for those seeking protection. and if it costs done, numbers, request submitted by people from places considered safer, such as albania or pocket stone would be directed through a different screening system at the border. so authorities can more easily send people back. critics say europe is trying to barricade itself from asylum seekers, unsure responsibility. but the official behinds upon hoops, countries will finally come together. if we agree on a common approach to manage migration in the you may, but restricted way together. we would all be with this because we will be able to manage migration together in an orderly way and, and that is a no, ma'am mistake can do it alone. brussels says bridging this political divide will help save lives. but some fear the reforms will fall short as people continue to

risk their lives to reach these shores. the german mental band of stine has begun to, to europe, into a, with a series of concepts of unix, old off to show the bodies have been cancelled as the band faces accusations of sexual assault against frontman to linda, but many times and still coming out for the shows, despite the obligations others say the feelings have changed. problems, time always attracts muscle crowds. and for now most of just focusing on the music body. so you don't know him personally foolish, isn't i myself? they just accusations. it's nothing more delicate. i still with me, i don't think the end of them has anything to do with the 3 drugs. all right. but some formal funds came out to protest. it's one of the so it was now that we hear all about what's going on with that man. i think it's good with the women and towing ramstein a debt to me anyway. or the garden door has been shrouded in control. the c
