berlin. a warning that ukraine's fight against russian forces is going badly. towns and cities are being hit by intense shelling as moscow focuses on capturing ukraine's industrial heartland. also, olaf scholz tells the world economic forum all must be done to preserve globalization and ensure that russia loses in

ukraine. and a vigil for the victims of america's deadliest school shooting in years. and of a new debate over gun violence. i. to our viewers watching in the united states and all of you around the world, welcome. russia's campaign to conquer ukraine's eastern region is as fierce as ever. ukraine is sounding the alarm. zelenskyy is demanding more heavy weaponry from the west, describing the situation as extremely difficult. >> moments of joy in times of war. this is the first civilian wedding in this city close to

kyiv. >> it is a joyful feeling but also very unusual because a war is going on. it is odd to get married during a war. >> the only question is when it will end. that is what is worrying everyone the most. >> ukraine says the fighting in the east is fiercer than ever before. >> the situation remains difficult and getting worse. the enemy is using all its means to surround our tricks.

90% of the region is under russian occupation. the situation ivery tense because the russians have st all of their forces to this region to capture towns and to bring the roads under theirontrol. they are aacking fm different directions. it is very hard but we have been holding the defensive line for four months now. deite the ct that the eminent -- the enemy has suffered significant losses, they kp pushing toward our defensive line, step-by-step with artlery shelling. >> they make up the donbas. they are attempting to seize the entire region. even as life in europe and kyiv

returns to normal, normality is a very long way off. >> we are in the ukrainian capital. i asked rebecca what she has been hearing about the situation in easrn ukraine. >> i don't ha anything better to tell you on that front. things are not lking gooby all accounts with ukraine authorities admitting theyre really struggling to maintain any kind of upperhand. they actually lost the upp hand in the region. the governoraid russians now control almost 95% of that reon. that is up from 90% from last week. they a makinprogress. the ukrainians are really struggling to even hold them and keep them back at this stage.

from the ukrainian side, you have 10 coming in the other direction. it is looking really bad. that is ally saying something. this will be a very decisive moment in the ttle. you have president zelenskyy and the foreign minister screaming and shouting from all weapons there. really calling on the international community. we have also seen renewed shelling. things are really heating up in the east of the country. >> we heard from henry kissinger saying that for the war to end, ukraine should give up a little bit of its territory. we know a lot of people in ukraine are upset by that. is there some thinking beginning

to take root that losing a bit of territory will have to be the price for ending this war? >> not from anyone i have spoken to. if we give an inch, they will take a mile. that is what people are telling me. they do not think ukraine should give up any territory. if we give up that region, and a couple ofears, a couple of months, they will be back for more. the feeling is that that is not an option as preside zelenskyy has been saying. he is not going to give up territory. that seems to be the popular opinion here. >> rebecca ritters's with a sobering assessment in eastern ukraine tonight. here is a quick round up of some

of the other developments in this war. two captured russian soldiers have pled guilty. they are accused of shelling civilian infrastructure in a town near kharkiv. russia's supreme court has delayed until june a decision on whether captured fighters should be designated as terrorists. russia will be unlikely to include its fighters in any prisoner exchange. antony blinken says the biden administration wants to lead countries into a broader coalition to counter china's global influence. he says china is the only country with the intent as well

as the power to reshape the global order. vladimir putin says moscow is ready to help avert a looming food crisis if western countries lift sanctions imposed against this country over the war in ukraine. russia's blockade has halted the export of millions of tons of grain but the kremlin insist it is not to blame for global food supply. olaf scholz says russia's president cannot be allowed to win in ukraine and in an address to the world economic forum, chancellor schultz repeated his country support for ukraine. he says that russia's war is contributing to a global food crisis. >> they dominated the world

economic forum. participant examined solutions for the leading global threats, food insecurity, energy and a range of economic crises. these topics were central to olaf scholz's keynote address. the pandemic and russia's war against ukraine are threatening to roll back progress made over the last decade. most dramatic is the fight against hunger and poverty. we are risking the world's biggest famine in decades if we don't respond decisively. we launched an alliance for global food security with the bank. germany has set aside nearly half of that in euros. the global food crisis is a major risk for poor countries in asia and africa.

quick countries are struggling with climate change. another additional 100 million people will go hungry. this could be really serious. >> as the world's most powerful players leave davos, the focus will turn to put their plans into motion. >> this was a fundamentally different event. did it bring fundamentally different insights? >> what was possible with davos this year?

if we take a step back, it may make a sense why it is rich with the luxury here in the mountains. right now, everything from the wharton ukraine to the ongoing pandemic. a looming food crisis, rising food prices and the continued threat to the global economic recovery. many are dealing with those issues. the people that are here, they are also concerned with these very same issues. we are seeing unity around these issues, a big sense of urgency. business leaders seem like they are stuck a little bit. >> reporting from davos, switzerland. the united nations estimates nearly 7 million ukrainians have left their homeland.

we want you to meet a mother and her daughter who are now staying with a host family right here. >> after a month of heavy russia shelling, they have thrived. this mother and daughter have fled to berlin but their thoughts are still with their family and friends in ukraine. >> i can't bear the thought that they do not have the chance to escape even though they wanted to. it is terrifying. even though i am doing well here, it is hard because i can help them.

he is an entrepreneur, she is a doctor. the couple drove to the polls ukrainian border to help any refugees and take them to germany. >> humans are social beings. if someone falls down this to you, you and down and pick them up again. it is completely natural. today, the social welfare office like all ukrainian refugees in germany, they can apply for financial aid. today, they received their first monthly payment. 350 euros each. they want to sav up and send someone money to grandmother so she can repair her -- repair her roof. and they want to integrate weekly. they signed up for a german

language course. >> do you have children? >> i am two children. >> the mother and daughter are slowly finding their bearings in berlin and i could even imagine studying in germany. >> i want to come back to ukraine to see our family members. >> i am too old to completely overturn my former life or my

relatives on ukraine. i want anna to decide for herself about whether she would return to ukraine but i want to go home someday. >> police in the town of uvalde, texas are facing criticism over the length of time it took for them to storm an elementary school where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers. they raised that very divisive issue of gun control. >> the town is mourning the loss of their loved ones. 19 children and two teachers, 21

lives that were needlessly cut short. the tightly knit community is the latest in the u.s. to be devastated by gun violence. greg abbott believes mental health and not excess two guns is the real issue. >> we need to do a better job with mental health. anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge. we as a government need to find a way to target that mental health challenge and do something about it. >> beto o'rourke was vying to be the next governor of texas and he accused the republican of being responsible for the killers and liberalizing state gun laws. >> the question you need to ask

him is what he wants violent criminals to be able to carry guns on our street. he has not had to answer for any of this and he gets by with this . i came here to call it out to stop this because if we don't stop it, it will continue to happen. >> the community is trying to predict what happened. quick i was at the school -- >> i was at the school. you see all these little faces. >> it is really sad that we have to go through this. i am saddened by that. i am angry for not doing more about gun control. >> even as people across the u.s. -- two leave this will be the last such strategy.

>> stefan simons is at the scene of that treasure school shooting in texas. helpless are responding to the criticism they took too long to respond. >> we just finished a press conference from the regional director of the department of public safety here and the police were under a lot of pressure today because there are significant questions unanswered. the regional director came out and held this impromptu press conference. they are trying to get a timeline established on what happened when. when was the gunfire, one was not there. he said there is no resource officer the complaint -- that confronted the shooter. that is a false narrative.

they had an armed resource officer that had the chance and did not engage the suspect which he officially still is. that is not true and then you are right, you were there and then 11:40. there was a lot of shooting and a lot of dying going on. they stormed the school. >> it took about one hour. one hour to get police to the school. >> the police were here. everybody has to put this -- i

am not calling the police and a slacker. there are a lot of questions unanswered. from the county's next-door, the city's next door, there is no way the local police could have solved this problem by themselves. we were just in town and there are posters of the top 10 high school students here in town. this is a city that is proud about their students. look across my shoulder.

>> the feelings that these people are going through, the sorrow has an beloved -- enveloped the community. the nra's annual convention, that looks bad. >> if you are someone that did not decide to cancel their appearance there, what do people think about this? if you talk to people who are directly impacted here, they shake their hands and exert.

it is not really good taste. the nra is a very powerful lobby with deep pockets. some politicians, a lot of politicians take this money and they'll show up. there are a lot of people in america -- whatever happened here or 10 years ago in sandy hook or what will maybe happen next year or whenever in the united states, they say this has nothing to do with this year. i have a right to bear arms, it is constitutionally guaranteed. i love guns. i will go there and have my nra convention. is it bad taste? for many it is. for others, no problem at all. >> thank you.

here is a quick round of some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 50 people have been killed by armed fighters in the east. not clear who is behind the attack. jihadist militants have overrun swathes of the country in years. the palestinian authorities say it is investigating -- its investigation into the shooting death of this al jazeera reporter shows that she was killed deliberately by an israeli soldier. israel's request for a joint investigation was rejected by the palestinian leadership. the legendary american actor radiata has died at the age of 67. he was best known for his role

in the crime classic goodfellas. he died in the dominican republic where he was filming a new movie. not to the u.k. where fans of the swedish supergroup abbott is buzzing with excitement. the group will not be there in the flesh. they will be represented by digital avatars or as they are saying, abbatars. this is a taste of what audiences can look forward to. holograms calledbbatars. the rush for tickets has been enormous and the content of the premier is on. >> we are pushing boundaries and we have created something that people have never seen before.

>> the london concert hall was built especially for the show. this is an exact replica of musicians as they looked through the 1970's. after almost six years of development, at least one of the members has now gotten used to the sight of his younger self. >> when i see my avatar, onstage , it really becomes a mixture. >> the concert was recorded with 160 cameras over five weeks.

23 songs were selected, including some from the w album. although the musicians are not onstage in person, that does not mean they don't have stage fright. >> the band is real b not onstage. >> if the avatars are convincing and the rush for tickets continues, there could be concerts in the arena and london for years to come. >> abba has no plans. it is what it is. we put our hearts and souls into these avatars. they will take on for now.

>> the winner takes it all. here is a reminder of the top stories we are following. pressure is intensifying its campaign in the eastern donbas region. the key industrial city is in growing danger of becoming completely surrounded. this is dw news. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. stick around, will be right bac.

>> welcome to "live from paris" world news and analysis from france 24. i'm mark owen. ukraine's dundas suffers a sustained russian attack this wednesday. ukraine complains of delays of delivery of heavy weapons from western allies. we have the latest for you. in the united states, anyone who helps a woman seeking an

abortion can be sued. one day left before the coveted award at the confident festival -- at the cannes film festival will be handed out. this is "live from paris." thank you very much for being with us. russian forces have kept up their sustained bombardment of donbass. ukraine's leaders are angry that heavy weaponry pledged by western allies has not yet arrived. meanwhile, russian shelling killed at least seven civilians

and wounded 17 in the city of kharkiv. ukraine's second-largest city had been relatively quiet since ukrainian forces regained territory around it and pushed back russian troops this month, leading authorities to reopen its metro network. our reporter is in kharkiv. >> it really took everybody here by surprise after a relatively calm and quiet time. they ran this huge counteroffensive region by region, village by village around kharkiv by ukraine forces to push back the russian military, and everybody was thinking here in this huge city which is deserted by maybe 1/3 of its population over the past

week, people were expecting the concentration from the russian military will be donbass, which is roughly 50 kilometers south of where we are, but in the midday today, this heavy bombardment and -- in northwest areas of kharkiv took everybody by surprise. at least one dozen people wounded. as i speak, people are just rushing back to their shelter. it looks like the destabilization process by the military is trying to put all the east in full alert and people are just rushing now, as i speak, to their shelters, and it looks like it is a new chapter in the kharkiv battle with people seeing new shelling

from the russians here about a dozen meters away from the russian border. mark: the president of the world bank has sent out a warning the war in ukraine could trigger global recession. the effects are being already felt in many countries. for instance, in europe, germany where the economy has slowed down significantly. joseph: in trying to tempt consumers, on sale sides are being displayed in windows in munich. since the start of the war, germans are buying fewer nonessential products. the economic slowdown is being felt more in germany than anywhere else in europe. inflation is now 7% for the month of march, which has not been seen for 30 years. >> despite the lifting of health restrictions, the war in ukraine is having an impact on consumer

choices. joseph: the war in ukraine has had three main consequences on the economy -- a rise in the price of food, a rise in energy prices, and a shortage of fertilizer, of which kyiv and moscow are two key exporters. a slowdown is being felt in europe, china, and the united states. >> the central banks, particularly in the u.s., eurozone, and britain, face a most terrible dilemma because inflation is going up very high now. it is forecast to be 10%. in the eurozone, it is already 7.5%. this is unheard of. quick the chinese economy is already badly affected because of lockdowns which have taken place in cities such as shanghai. >> we close on march 21 and reopen on april 22. nearly 70% of employees are back and have resumed work under closed-loop management.

>> with covid-19 and the war in ukraine, the world bank has had to lower its protections. global growth for 2022,hich was estimated at 4.1% last month, has been cut to 3.2%. >> the death of 11 babies in a fire in a hospital has led to the declaration of three days of national mourning. the incident has been blamed on a short-circuit of electrical wiring in the building. our correspondent sent us this. sam: the fire ripped through the second floor of this building behind me with terrifying speed according to all the witness accounts that we have heard. supposedly, the fire was triggered by a short-circuit in the electricity. that's what the local mayor has said, and the flames were dead

then by exploding oxygen canisters which were being used for the treatment of these 11 babies who died. we spoke to the grandfather of one of the victims. he was understandably pretty much lost for words. just incredible suffering. there are still questions unanswered. almost exactly a year ago, a similar incident took place in which four babies died in a neonatal clinic. this time around, people work asking why wasn't an audit, which was promised, completed on hospitals in the country and why was this kind of incident allowed to happen again? mark: a local governor signed into law the strictest abortion law to date, one that prohibits abortion from the moment of fertilization and allows private citizens to sue those who help women terminate their pregnancies. >> welcome, everybody. >> the united states' strictest abortion ls signed into effect

on wednesday night. oklahoma's governor kevin stitt signed a new bill which means abortions will be prohibited at any stage of pregnancy and only carried out in a medical emergency. there will also be an exception made if the pregnancy was a result of rape, sexual assault, or insist -- or incest and reported to law enforcement. the bill is part of a push in republican-led states to scale back abortion rights. he comes in the aftermath of a leak from the nation's high court that suggests justices are considering overturning the roe v. wade decision that legalized abortion nearly 50 years ago. a topic which continues to divide opinion across the country. there are currently over 600,000 legal abortions in the usa per

year and about 5000 taking place in oklahoma. mark: a survey found over 60% of american people are against the u.s. supreme court attempting to overturn the 1973 roe v. wade ruling. let's bring in associate professor of american studies in political science. what does this new law that has been signed into the statute ok represent for you? >> well, there's a couple levels. on the one hand, we see that this is the strictest abortion ban law in the united states, certainly the strictest in 50 years. it means for women and people carrying pregnancies in oklahoma that they have very few options for having any control over if they bear a child or not, and i think it also means we will

start seeing these ripple effects across the country now that it looks likely the supreme court will overturn the federal protection of reproductive freedom for women. mark: what does this mean for the women of oklahoma? >> they have very few options for what to do. there are some opportunities perhaps for them to go to different states, but it seems the law as written that women who might go to another state to go to abortion -- to go to get abortion services could still be prosecuted. part of the problem is that the law basically deputize as individual citizens as bounty hunters to be able to report on women or anybody helping them. even somebody just driving them to a provider out-of-state can be sued. the providers can be sued. the person reporting them can get money from the state. it changes the whole makeup of what it is telling citizens they

can do to other people and the way in which it is blocking care for women and allowing the government to make these decisions for women rather than women themselves or, you know, in consultation with their loved ones and doctors. mark: indeed. this issue is kind of changing society into a kind of police state, isn't it? >> it is. even more than empowering the state, it is empowering individuals as police officers to monitor those people. they don't even have to know the individual, but there's also cases where they could be reporting on their own family members and their own children. even though the law says we make exceptions for people who get pregnant because of rape or insights, the law also says the only way that those people can have -- can get abortions is if they report it to law enforcement, and that itself is really fraught. what person, a 13-year-old who is the victim of incest from a

family member might not want to run to the police. we also know that police have often overlooked rape or to mystic violence or sexual assault, and those cases are hard to prosecute. people have many cases that they will not turn to law enforcement, so even that small part of the law will most likely be relatively toothless. mark: some massive questions about a woman's right to choose, abouthe rule of law, about the role of the police, about prejudicial law. there are so many things stacking up here that are incredibly profoundly negative. should the right to choose have been enshrined in u.s. law beforehand? should something have been done to make sure this was unassailable, that it could not be attacked in this way? >> i tnk that is certain. being able to have control over your health care, control of your childbearing future is a fundamental aspect of freedom,

so thinking about what this means in terms of the freedom to choose to bear a child or not, the freedom of bodily autonomy, all of that should have been enshrined. there's ways which we could certainly read aspects of u.s. law is already providing that, but given that so many people choose not to, having that right concretely enshrined in law is something that should have happened, certainly at this moment when there are democrats who claim reproductive freedom as part of their policy platforms, you know, being in control of the senate and house and the presidency. that should have been prioritized and certainly should have an prioritized decades ago. it was always not strong enough just being upheld by the supreme's decision in roe v. wade. it needed more legislation behind it -- it was always not strong enough just being upheld by the supreme court's decision in roe v. wade. mark: we appreciate your time and analysis of the situation.

we are watching development, of course, on all parts of that story. the supreme court still considering its next move. the united states does not seek to sever china from the global economy but wants beijing to obey international rules. these the words from secretary of state antony blinken. meanwhile, china's foreign minister is on the solon islands . >> a historic visit. the highest-ranking chinese representative to visit the soma and islands since the two countries formalized diplomatic ties two years ago when the small pacific isla country switched diplomatic relation

from taiwan to china, its largest trading partner. >> we made a diplomatic decision to recognize a very important principle. we are impressed by a lot of things that the governing people of the league have done. >> u.s. secretary of state antony blinken said china in the long run poses an even greater threat than putin's russia. the countries have clashed recently as the u.s. ramps up support for taiwan, which china claims as part of its own territory. >> we will remain focused on the most serious long-term challenge to the international border, and that is opposed by the people's republic of china.

china is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international waters and increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it. >> the chinese foreign minister's asia-pacific tour also comes as the broad security grouping has started to reemerge on the world scene. world leaders from the u.s., pan, australia, and india have gathered several times this year for the first formal summit in 2021. mark: short break for me, but stay with us. coming up, the latest from the con film festival -- the cannes film festival. stay with us. ♪

>> hello and thanks for joining us. today, we are going to meet some actors who shot to international stardom. noomi rapace will be part of the process in deciding which of the best films here. it means she's got to watch 21 movies in just 12 days. >> hello. thank you for speaking to us. you are part ofhis year's jerry. -- this year's jury. how did you feel getting that call? >> i got a sensation of extreme happiness, and i felt like all the hair on my body just stood up. it was a very physal reaction, and i felt so honored and really

touched. ♪ >> you're no stranger to cannes. what can you tell us about your experience here? >> my favorite was probably last year when i was here with a small icelandic movie we shot up in a remote village, far from glamour, far from anything sparkly and the glamour of our industry, and i did not expect that movie to travel so far, so it was really a very big moment for me when were standing here together last year kind of showing it for the world for the first time. >> not only that, it won an award. how does that feel? >> shocking and beautiful. it was also a movie that kind of brought me back to my roots. i feel like i found myself

again. i have been unkind of a detour of doing lots of things in the world, big american movies, and it was kind of a return to art-house cinema and a reunion with that side of myself, so it is a very personal movie for me. ♪ >> going back to your role on the jury this year, i know you cannot give anything away right now. what are your takeaways from what you have seen so far in terms of films? >> it is a lot of powerful films. i love hearing the other jury members' take on things. it kind of makes me see things that i did not see myself. very creative and very playful conversation that is going on, which kind of makes me as a

human and a lover of cinema grow, so it is very inspiring. >> did you know the works of other jury members? >> of course. some of them i have been following for years. others were kind of new for me, but i did my research and kind of watched their work before i came because i kind of want to know. >> you are a swedish actress, and there are two swedish films in the selection this year. >> very proud. >> what can you tell us about the swedish film industry? >> i feel like scandinavian cinema has taken a huge step forward recently. the worst person in the world was here last year, and the's so many amazing filmmakers coming out of your rion and small countries, so it is pretty amazing. i wish that we would get more support, though.

more money for swedish filmmakers and that it would not be so hard to get things also, the support of newcomers. it can be a bit hard for a newcomer to get into the system because it is a specific rule system that you need to have a producer who produced before, so i would like toe able to find a structure that embraces first-time directors a little bit better. >> i understand one of your favorite actors got an honorary palm this year. >> i met him actually when we were walking up, and i just hugged him and got super teary. i cried and just said how much i love his work, and he was like, that means so much to me because i have seen your films and i think you are wonderful. it's crazy how much he has done and that he's always amazing. like, he just brings so much humanity, so much vulnerability

and strength to each performance, and it is just breathtaking. >> you are set to start in a series. can you tell us about that project? >> it has been an incredible journey. we have an italian team, the director and the two writers. it has been really fantastic to have that kind of fiery italian blood rebooting and bringing m favorite genre -- i love westerns, so it has been a dream . the villain is, like, very violent and very passionate at the same time. i truly love the experience. a villain with a broken heart, where it comes from a kind of

emotional volcano. >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> next, for the first time ever, pakistan has a film at the cannes film festival. "joyland" is about a trans dancer in a conservative pakistani community. let's go meet the star. hello. coratulatis. this is the first time that pakistan has a film here. how does it feel to be here as one of the stars of it? >> it feels like a dream, absolutely. i think for an actor, this is a unicorn moment. we are always trying to find th unicorn, and it just appeared. it is a wonderful feeling to represent your country, especially with a first-time

director. it was his debut film, so it is just wonderful. i don't have any words to explain the feeling. >> why do you think pakistan has not been here before? >> i think in comparison to other industries, film industries, pakistan is a very small film industry, so for us to imagine having a selection here was quite an impossible place to be. when you dare to dream, it can take you places. >> what can you tell us about "joyland?" >> this is a film that revolves around a lot of trans gender bias that we do face in pakistan. also, it is about the patriarchal society that we live

in, and so it is about a family, a small family. it is all these emotions and kinda significant feelings that we all feel as human beings, but we just don't tend to voice them because we are scared, because there's a societal pressure, because of other things in the society, so this is a film that touches upon how everyone is trying to just grab onto whatever sense of life that they can see around. >> [speaking foreign language] >> the film begins with a birth. immediately, we see this pressure on women to provide

sons. you have two sons. i wonder in your own personal experience, did you have this pressure? >> no, luckily i don't come from a household where that is required, to sort of have a happy livelihood, but, yes, a lot of pakistan, a lot of people, and a lot of sex, a lot of stratus of society, they do want boys, although every second day, i'm hearing women doing outstanding work from pakistan coming from small towns in pakistan, and i really hope that films like this can make people realize that it is not just the boys -- a birth of a boy is not everything. i would say that girls have more pressure to prove themselves, and not just in pakistan, but i think globally.

in the movie, uci have four girls. the fifth one, before my delivery, the doctor has informed me that it is a boy, so the whole house is very excited that it is going to be a boy, and once we find out that it is a girl, there is a huge disappointment. that is literally every third house in the country that feels like that. >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> you choose roles that take on patriarchal and misogynistic society. how easy is it to play those roles in pakistan? >> i would not say it is difficult, but it is difficult

definitely to find people who wrote such roles for women in pakistan. not everybody wants to step out of their comfort zone, and i see that 20 years of television and safe acting has made me, i think, board -- bored of playing safe characters. i like to step out of my comfort zone. i like to pick and choose parts that redefine pakistan. >> what has been the reaction back home? >> we have our fingers crossed. i think there will be a lot of dialogue, and i feel that for a film to get that sort of reaction is totally worth it. good and bad is always with whatever you produce.

even if it is a splendid project, people are still nitpicking and choosing what they like. at the same time, to have people sit down at the dinner table and talk about it is what we want. we want the dialogue to come out. we want people to see transgender's as human beings and as people who want÷÷ñ■ñ■ñ■ñ■
