tries across the live channels from trump, despite dozens of dense. already this year, cools a growing for a crackdown on people smugglers. the manuscript is mckinnon. welcome to the program we begin, and ukraine web. russia has stepped off a nationwide aerial bombardment campaign. at least 7 people were killed and thousands more wounded in an asteroid on the v of the city and its historic center . in the fall west of ukraine, of sofa being largely sped in the wall. meanwhile, ukraine's president loaded mister lensky is re shuffling his cabinets and the biggest shakeup since the stalls of hostilities. 2 and a half years ago. to daybreak reveals the extent of destruction after overnight airstrikes on leave. it was one of the several cities across the country to be

targeted in russia's latest wave of attacks. ukraine's of air defenses were unable to shoot down all of the incoming missiles and drones of those that made it through, causing widespread suffering on the ground. the huge destruction and that is more than 70 buildings were damaged. they were all part of our historic city center such and vive, in the far west of ukraine, close to the polish border has been seen as relatively safe and recent months. thousands of ukrainians have flooded their from parts of the country. closer to the front line, fighting with from the pro we came to leave to escape the will. the will hit us. yeah. the be the tax come a day after one of the deadliest russian strikes since the start of the war. what dozens of people were killed in the central city, a port of

a rush. it claims that was targeting a military institute who soldiers and for an instructors were involved in attacking civilian sites inside russia. i spoke to a correspondent, caroline, and kimberly, who is in ukraine, about the government shakeup on via tax on lives. there were ms tiles and also drones hating the city of leave any, as you just mentioned, at least 7 people have been killed and dozens of the injured people. who as far as we know are they are all in the hospitals. and these are informations that we have from the mayor of the city of love eve, at least 50 optics, were targeted by dismissals and thrones, a lot of residential buildings. so we can see that civilians are again a target of the russian military in this case. and isn't, it is also interesting to mention and yet that apparently the russian military is targeting and again, the western part of ukraine. this is

a part of the brain that was targeted, especially at the beginning of the war more than 2 years ago in a major scale. and now this is happening again. meanwhile, ukraine's biggest government re shuffle is happening at this crucial point in the will. that, as he said, is a, is already almost 2 and a half years has been going on for 2 and a half years now. correct. uh, the former minister of foreign affairs, mr. a collab i resigned today, as you mentioned uh, we have not heard for him from him. uh, but uh we are talking about him being still available and working on transatlantic relations. and he will probably focus on the relations to nato, but he will not be the minister anymore. and he's not the only one yesterday. 3 other ministers, resigns, among them. the minister for strategic industries in the country meetings administer, who was in charge of producing weapons here in ukraine. also the minister of

justice resigned to yesterday and the minister of the environment. so all of this is showing us that there is a big uncertainty and uncertainty growing among zelinski and his team. hurley. no, thank you so much for the time. as close caraway. no thanks so much for the update though. see w's correct. kimberly not familiar reporting from keith i, one of russia's immediate objectives and the war and ukraine is to capture the city of po croft. it's a ukrainian military sense, a close to done yet can eastern region that russia already holes. ukrainian president loved them is zalinski admit, the situation is difficult and despite fist fighting russian forces, do pass to be closing in meters. at a time, russian troops had been advancing your paragraphs. they've already captured important ukrainian positions nearby. the situation is growing more and more critical that are getting closer

a very strong defense lines around because of the bills for a long time, so it can defend against the city even against a much superior force. it's the last defense expelled and well, the ukraine military's tough line of defense directly around paragraphs has been in place since 2014. the next lines are not nearly as strong. so as they can break through it, progress, the russians will likely find it easier to advance further the terrain to the west, the growth squad, feel the paper is pretty much very flat open during and they're not much defense position positions. so there is no force or peace line. the only thing what the requirements can do is to fight to delaying action of the russians. if there is a multi coal in operational breakthrough, preventing that operational breakthrough is vital. progress is of great strategic

importance as a logistics hub by road and rail. the routes to vital cities like doing that's constant enough to come a tourist and the pro passed through it. but the russian army is pushing closer every day towards the graft and, and evacuation has been underway for weeks. still, whether the russians can actually take the city military experts we spoke with, suggest it's not likely in the short term, at least that a start to reach the hardening 6 lines. they actually might be happy to just shoot the city to ruins without tillery show that their re lines truth, that their old lines. because that degrades the usability of a cross, cuz it looks you stick on top. the latest russian offensive has been ongoing for many months. now, the russian army is seizing perhaps several 100 meters of ukrainian territory a day in the move towards the graphs. whether the ukrainian military can put a stop to the advance is a matter to be decided in coming days. a new surface to air defense system goes

into service in germany today. the iris t will boost tomatoes overall aaron missile defenses. the new system can block attacks by drones, croft and cruise missiles. germany has already provided 7 iris t batteries to ukraine. john select what i felt it's on the defense minister bar as the story is on hand to integrate the new system. i also dw correspondent lee and if on how much time, what signal the chancellor and the defense minnesota all sending by inviting media into today's launch of the well, they've been very clear about the signal they want to send in their, in their speech is here at the ceremony and turned off and they both stressed the importance of the iris t air defense system considered one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world. for both german bonus, we have the germany,

germans are forces but also for the european security. in general, in the case of freshman aggression, the chance i called it a turn in the next chapter in the european air defense and obviously chapter that he traces back to rest of nation of ukraine. and his turning point type, invented speech and that he gave, that meant an overhaul of jeremy's defense policy and, and saw a 100000000000 euro specialist funds being agreed on. and, and part of that money has not been taken to, to buy these. uh, these are defense, this air defense system and, and the 5 additional ones that are still going to be delivered here to, to a new, off the other signal. but they want to send a said they want to load and off this military base here in the north, in northern germany to become the center. a training center for soldiers. also, europeans sky shield initiative, 21 year of the nation has that form part of fed have joined that initiative. and,

and they also want to keep the training ukrainian soldiers here. so tell us more about when this system fits in germany's and also europe's plan to defend that skies. yeah, i mean you mentioned um the system is a mentor. provide medium range cover for uh city use for of a small cities for armies. um, um is already being used in, in ukraine and um it is, uh, yeah, the chance to set is going to form part of the european sky shields initiative. um, along with other systems. um, like the patriot system, this iris uh t systems have some meet arranged colors and it will be used in combination um, but yeah, both have stressed also that they are proud of. the german manufacturer is the one who, who built this modern system and it's more of a symbolic signal to the european partners to they need to partners that jeremy is really doing something about it. it's, it's military and it's overhauling. it's most a. i mean it's,

it's america that has long had a different reputation. that's right. i mean, a lot was made was on a germany having to push on to he sits defense spending a target. so is berlin on track to meet his commitment to spend 2 percent of the g d p on defense? yeah, i mean, germany for the 1st time and decades had actually met the target because of this 100000000 euro special funds. but now the big question overshadowing this event to is, what is going to happen to the fund once is the money runs out. because the government governor's, the parties in the governing questions, a very divided on that issue and the defense budget will be discussed next. debates of next week and in parliament. and, but the big, big question is uh yeah, what is going to happen? how will there be sort of sustainable planning to finance systems like these in the future? you know, obviously on the phone, how much time they only thank you so much for that. let's take a quick look now,

some of the other stories making headlines around the world and danish police of detain. the climb attacked to this aggressive tune book in copenhagen. and a protest against the wall in garza and israel's occupation. as the westbank local media say she was laser released, she was among 6 people detained after about 20 blocks the entrance to a university building. egypt and lead to delta l. c. c is hoping to mend ties with took he's president, friendship type at one c as in i'm cra on the 1st such visits in 12 years. he says both sides, the teen to strength from that relationship. or are you down to the position lead to bobby wine is recovering, following a classic confrontation with police aid. say that these images show wine being carried with a wounded leg. it was just reported that he'd been shot,

but his policy now says he was hit by front no, from a to a gas grenade performance pump. staunton politician is the most outspoken opponent of uganda, authoritarian president, you wary mas 70. the us has criticized what it calls, rights abuses in you, down to the double use julia smoke. i'm glad joins me now from the dungeon cap. still come, paula. of all we guessing a clearer picture of exactly what happened yesterday, judy is yes. we gauge now a much clearer picture. just touch with the most important thing is that, but do and his back to use for me that is for me to seize. he is out of danger. the information we're getting from his political party, he's got action of body wayne was not short. he got injured from fragments of a t, a guess kind of stuff. now that takes out the be close to 12 hours of the,

the book to and had been shot. he go to maiden hospital and it's been discharged as buckeye, he's home police say that they will continue investigating this. but also the evidence on witness, which is see that much that's a so contradict filled out with watched the police. i said, because police had said that bobby wayne could have got injured as these 10 boards in the attempt of been turning his car. what we know from now is that b, y and go to didn't get from fragments of a t, a guess kind of stuff. it's now much more clear. ok, now there have a cool spring. i'm see government protests and you guys haven't laughed to some prior to this incident. how people react thing to what's happened here. a specialist here in compiler, people are a few or yes, especially those whose supports the opposition including human rights activities. they condemned the police for watch the court, excessive use of force. they say that's what the police is doing is out of below

it's unconstitutional. and the once the police on those directly involved to be held accountable, they are really frustrated. what does this tell us about the political atmosphere in general in uganda? i think in general this continues to emphasize the points that you've gotten this political every now is elijah divided between people who support presidential william 7 was being pa for 40 years. and those were coming to charlie and sure, but the wine is among those. what charlene to meet shows the shop divide between these 2. and that's what we're seeing. continuous cases of violence, but the government is paid on the other side sees that the people who are opposed to government, the people who are challenging presidential em 7 are interested funded by 49 and they call them and it means of progress. what's the position is very clear on this, they see the want accountability,

they're ones proper use of government resources and do one public officials held accountable and being that it's president, show him civilian office. they say that he's the principal person to be accountable for everything that is not going great. a studio, some of them were reporting from composite julius, thank you so much for bringing us up today. we appreciate that. a number of african leaders have arrived in beijing for a summit, but could strengthen china's influence across the african continent. president, he's in pain, will urge african nations to take more chinese goods in exchange for loans and pledges of new investments. but many of the african partners he's called costing want best of financial tons as debt precious. mount china, a 100 invested billions to access africa's wealth of oil cost the cult and other resources building roads, railways unfold facilities. the project ensures the swift on efficient transfer

overall materials to china, while the countries in question obtained the structure of the benefits that economic development. but the boom is now of many african countries have gotten into debt trouble, and they realize they have to cut back on the amount of loans they're taking out because they will have trouble retain them. as a result, the whole built, roader initiative has slowed down in africa, but china is presence on the continent still fall around stripped start of year of the tentative and then in the trade relations of many african countries was still dominated by europe almost 2 decades later the situation had been completely transformed that economic dominance is part of china strategy to become the world's pre eminent superpower. while many western phones are put off by the higher risks involved, chinese companies and enjoy state backing,

it's one of the problem is that the west spaces is the private um, or direct. foreign direct investment depends overwhelmingly on the, on the private sectors of europe and united states. whereas china has a stronger ability to manipulate the amount of foreign direct investment that goes in. the government plays a larger role. in addition to traditional infrastructure, the state affiliated technology, joint one y, is also involved. expanding africa's telecoms networks. chinese companies are also trucking the consumer market with low price phones as well as clothing and cause that said, europe has launched an initiative to make up for lost ground. and at least in countries are also fast growing. investors in the african continent. fronts as interior administer says that immigration laws between the u. k and friends must be updated also the license tragedy in the english channel. 12 people

died when an overloaded boat capsized. united nations says at least fuzzy migrants have died or gone missing this year while trying to cross to the u. k. from france . french police rush to try and still continue carrying migrants from leaving the coast of northern fronts and heading across the english channel. this the day after at least a dozen migrants died when the boat carrying them to the u. k. from front sign control p. waters close to the french coastline. to rescue uh, cause we're able to save more than 60 people from the will to most of whom were not wearing life jackets, french and terry administer. general dumb on a visit to the seaside town belongs to mass following, which officials say is the most deadly migrant. but this off to so far this year on

the channel domino is cooling on the u. k. government to synchronize its immigration laws with fronts basically. so the latest people from the horn of africa who have been infected by this tragedy and they're going to great britain to join the family with that to work there sometimes and conditions that are not acceptable in france bikes. it's some of the all falls, the, the, well, the points, the finger of blame across the channel, to monetary and agencies say it fronts his own treatment of migrants, the, disposing them to flee. a panel is people take to see because the migrant cops are being dismantled because they are living in deplorable conditions because they're being treated like animals through infants that they come to the annual. despite the danger as an estimate to 20000 microns, take this risk in boats like this one every year with the hope that it will be the final stretch of a johnny to start a new life. 7 the w correspondent,

terry schultz is on the french side of the english channel in the city of hulu, and you're still now in this latest tragedy, the largest loss of life so far in the channel this year. we know the of the, at least one dozen people who died. 10 of them were women and children, including a pregnant woman. this just underscores the absolute desperation. these people must feel in thinking this is the best option for themselves and for their children to put their lives in the hands of these unscrupulous people. smugglers who crammed more than 70 people in a 7 metre ding you. which disintegrated as we understand it virtually upon departure from the french coast. it is re ignited the plain game between france and the u. k. with britain sang, france needs to stop these people from leaving in the 1st place and front saying, how about a little more money to help us put more patrols on our side of the border. and there have been agreements between the 2 countries to this effect, with budget conversations and all of that. but obviously it's not enough because this year alone,

more than 20000 people have succeeded in making these crossings. uh so what really needs to be done. everyone agrees is to target the criminal enterprises which are earning untold amounts of money praying on people who are in these precarious situations because it appears that as long as there's even a shred of hope, that they will be the next successful ones. they will keep getting in these little rubber days. it was it folks fun, have expressed outrage of the decision to ro back. jo, guarantees in germany amazing between self and management, began with the protest against the measures the call make is also considering closing factories in germany. to save money, the chief executive, all of the luminous says it's the only way to deal with the challenging situation. in the industry. dw is mostly seen that has more from v w's headquarters in wolf's book, germany of the yeah, the mood is very gloomy. a lot of serious faces just left us worker council meeting

here. when the people didn't actually want to speak to us us. and those that did really were astounded by the tension between folks like management at the end the work or is that became clear at this meeting. one worker we spoke to a said that many people were booing. the management people were shouting, i'll see, does in which means good bye. in german when folks like management got on the stage and another worker we spoke to said he's, he's worried, he's worried about his job. his family depends on the job here. another worker as stress that the speech by the head of the workers counseled anita hello. we, he felt very represented by the speech that she really found strong words and, and that he was happy that she did at this at this very meeting. can you tell us more about that, what we've heard from the head of the walks council of the union? yeah,

they knew that cuz i know um said that this potential closer and of plans is essentially a declaration of bankruptcy. so really strong words that she chose here. she also criticized parts logs management for prioritizing the costs of these plans. and of these workers in there are kind of plans for change instead of maybe focusing on innovation or bringing parkside back to the really year end of, of technological progress. and so she said that plus signs, management has the wrong focus here. she also reminded everybody of the meaning of these floats, lardy funds, not only for workers, but for german communities. she spoke of 2015, 2016, the dealer gave scandal when parks lag reduced this output here in germany and reminded everybody about the repercussions that had 4 communities here in german, a that have less tax income and less wealth overall. and she also said that as long

as you've had of the workers council here, there will not be any plan closures to a very strong words. and what's important to note here is that what's unique about folks on is that workers representative for 50 percent of the board seats, so they can actually block these types of management decisions. so finding common ground between 4th flag and management and workers will be essential and 2 dates didn't seem like there is a common ground. and the reward is b. w management saying about what led to these decisions being made well plain and simply producing quite fun. cars has become too expensive in flux, flag is selling enough. so manufacturing and labor costs are in the right. rise and demand is shrinking as people sponges are squeeze by inflation. so especially these more expensive parts on cars aren't selling as well anymore. but the biggest worry is the biggest will for expired is the fact that it's losing the electric vehicle

res. flip side as a traditional company with success as built on the combustion engine. it has over a 100 factories worldwide, and it's really likes to kind of nimbleness, and it is speed and innovation that's necessary that has well, for example, other electric vehicle carmakers have and that's becoming a big problem portfolio. starting especially in the biggest, most important markets sign where it's being overtaken even by homegrown chinese electric vehicle makers like b, y d at the moment. and that's really putting a squeeze on products. large budgets and volkswagen management. the thing we need to cut costs is marie senior reporting. the thanks so much marie and his reminder of our top story out the south. russia has stepped up its aerial bombardment of ukraine, killing 7 people in the late to strike on the western city of lives. the attack follows a strike on the central city of pull to the which kills more than 50 and
