jews and palestinians. and the worst flooding in a century has killed at least 13 people in northern italy. thousands have been forced to leave their homes. and tonight, we meet irani and women who are defying the law that limits their freedom and controls what these women wear. -- what they wear. ♪ brent: i'm brent goff. our viewers watching on pbs and in the united states, and to all of you around the world, welcome. on this thursday, ukraine says it has made attacks on the ruined city of bakhmut. up to one kilometer in some places. this comes as russia launched another wave of airstrikes in the country. at least one person was killed in odessa. the explosion rocked the capital city of kyiv. >> smoke rises over kyiv again.

in a clear escalation, russia rockets -- russian rockets targeted the capital for the ninth time this month. missiles were aimed at cities across ukraine overnight, but in a show of its improved defense capabilities, ukraine says it shot down all but one of them. this damage near a kindergarten and garage was done by fallen debris. [speaking foreign language] >> it was a very powerful explosion and i saw the smoke. i found that the debris -- fell on the garages and mine is nearby. >> the one missile that got through hit the southern port city of odessa. authorities say one person was killed and two others injured. the latest escalation comes as western allies supply increasingly sophisticated weapons to kyiv.

ahead of its highly anticipated spring offensive. for residents, it is just another day under russian attacks. [speaking foreign language] >> we cleaned it up, now this sand will be removed because there are cinders and there are small children here. everything will be cleaned and fine. >> despite the damage, ukraine's improved air defenses may be just providing a respite for residents. brent: i spoke with military analyst frank led which and he told us why we are seeing this escalation now. frank: it is difficult to speculate russian commanders, but i imagine they are feeling pain in their own lines particularly with the long range weapons in ukraine's possession. notably the cruise missiles that

have already been used and they will only be used to be fairly sure on significant targets which, of course, the russians have significant damage, i think. it is the ninth time this month as you heard. the story though is the way that ukraine is developing its air defense system is something that clearly layered which is bad news for russian plans. -- t which are now deployed. ukrainians are saying while taking down the missiles. 29 out of 30, a remarkable figure over the last 24 hours. brent: if we look at what is around the eastern city of bakhmut, the russian mercenary groups and others say forces have retreated from the outskirts of the city. what you been hearing? frank: in the cities themselves,

the russians are saying ukrainians are conceding to the extent, but some incremental gains are being made. but the real story are the attacks on the flanks and in the western suburbs of the city. which ukrainians described as a counterattack or counter defence. they have taken up to 20 square kilometers. those are on the flanks, not in the city themselves. but on the other hand, what we see is operational chaos of the russian side. -- a chaotic organization blames the russian armed forces for leaving them in the lurch and retreating. telling them it is clear the russians have drawn in some of the better units now into the city away from other fronts. all in all, the news is far better for ukraine than for russia. are we seeing the start of a counteroffensive? difficult to say. ukrainians have contributed their success to what they call

a third salzburg aid. i don't know if that is a you -- new unit or not but it is successful and taking the flanks of the town. brent: if there's going to be a big counteroffensive, we know ukrainian forces need weapons. let's look forward into the g-7 summit that is about to begin in japan. how much of a make or break moment is this for ukrainian president zelenskyy in this country in terms of getting the necessary weapons in time? frank: well, brent, i do not see the g-7 meeting being a make or break moment for that purpose, but it is a make or break moment for zelenskyy's peace plan. the g-7 will be pushing his peace plan against the chinese one. that would require ukraine to give up territory and their not going to do that. the make or break concerning the most strategic military issues is more likely to be the nato meeting in the end of june, early july.

even more significantly the degree to which americans will renew their donations as it were their budget allocation. i think that is in september. brent: frank, we always appreciate your time and analysis. thank you. frank: thank you, brent. brent: thousands of israeli nationalists have been marching through occupied east jerusalem today in a rally that palestinians view as a provocation. jerusalem day marks israel's capturing of old city in 1967. it with an annexation that is not recognized by the international community. israel's far right national security minister attended that rally today. many palestinian businesses are closed and thousands of police been -- have been deployed to cover the event. let's go now to jerusalem, our correspondent tania is covering this for us.

you have been covering jerusalem day for many years. what stood out to you this time around? >> we saw thousands of israelis marching through jerusalem and the muslim quarter. and their young people and those who take part in the flag parade which is to mark jerusalem day where they celebrate the real food -- reunification as they see it of east and west jerusalem. it goes back to when israel captured and took control of jerusalem in 1967. what you see in the past year this is a show of force of nationalist groups of the far right wing groups. not all of them, but some of

them were also chanting and cheering arab slogans, very racist slogans. there were several violent incidents against out -- palestinians in the old city. what has not materialized this time is the threats made beforehand by the groups which comes in the backdrop of course a week ago and escalation between islamic jihad and israel and gossip. but with palestinians they say this day, they say it is their city it is not our city. basically it is a disruption of life for palestinians in east jerusalem. brent: yeah the violence was palpable. why were they so aggressive toward journalists? >> that is also what we experience today. that is not something new that

has been in recent flag parade like that. we were also part of the journalists where they attacked. a group of foreign journalists and also palestinian journalists were covering the march next to the gate when all the marches with people entering the old city. there were some groups of what i could see many far-right groups and the among them. they started chanting racist slogans. including odessa -- and to arabs. and they were starting to throw water bottles at the journalists there. and some were throwing stones and also sticks were being thrown. these were some of the violent incidents that we have seen. and we have seen that also in previous marches but this time again against journalists. brent:

we are certainly glad you are safe tonight. it reminds us of how dangerous it is reporting in that part of the world. tania kramer in jerusalem tonight. thank you read -- thank you. here is a look at stories that are making headlines around the world. world leaders are gathering or the g-7 meeting in jack hanna -- japan. and they are meeting over the russian war in ukraine. regional tensions around taiwan will also be discussed. thousands of demonstrators have rallied in argentina's capital buenos aires. they are protesting against government austerity measures imposed to -- comply with the $44 billion loan from the -- fund. argentina has reached -- inflation in argentina has reached triple digits in the past three months. for chiren missing in a air

crash have been found alive. gustavo petro said earlier the group are rescued after being in the amazon rain forest forward to week. the children's mother we understand was killed in the crash. back here in europe, at least 13 people have been killed. many more are missing in flooding of northern italy. authorities earning -- warning that there could be more on the way. the floods have caused a billion euros worth of damage. >> it is the worst flooding in italy in 100 years. after years rainfall fell in just a few days in the region in the north of the country. thousands of people have been evacuated. as rescue workers battle through the night to save those trapped by the floods.

locals race to clear the mud laden streets before it dries. doing what they can with what little they have. [speaking foreign language] >> we have been cleaning all day. [speaking foreign language] >> i cannot take it anymore. >> residents in one town picked through the damage. [speaking foreign language] >> we need to fix everything. we need to do everything from the beginning. the books, all the documents, all of the clothes, they are all gone. they told us to get out, you have to leave the house. you can see why. >> the heavy rains caused over 20 rivers to burst their banks and almost 300 landslides.

stefano bona cheney the regional , president said the cost of the damage totals billions of euros. with further rain forecast, locals remain worried. [speaking foreign language] >> our biggest fear is that if it starts raining again, with the hole in the dike, if it were to start raining again, we fear the water could again rise. that is our biggest fear. >> these makeshift roadside barriers are the only defense for many against further flooding. brent: i spoke with climatologist carl about the floods in italy and i ask him if they are linked to climate change. carl: when we look around the world and we see the wildfires in canada, and a cyclone hitting

asia -- and the same region. we do see a pattern. the pattern is climate change. the specific flooding event of course scientists will look at it and do a dedicated study of it trying to understand processes behind it. but we do have evidence on climate change making extreme precipitation events and it likely led to this catastrophic flooding. it is more likely. all of the evidence points to climate change having affected those events and making them more severe. brent: should we be expecting more severe flooding in europe in the next few years? carl: as long as we keep fueling the climate crisis with greenhouse emissions and use fossil fuels, climate change will get worse. that means the extreme events like the ones we have seen will become more frequent and

intensified. that includes the flooding in europe and they have had devastating flooding in belgium as well. the risk is very real and the impacts of climate change are hitting home everywhere around the globe. no one is safe from it. brent: i would like to get your take on the report that came out this week that says the next 4-5 years could be the hottest that has ever been recorded on our planet and that we may even go above the 1.5 degree celsius increase that we are not supposed to be doing. that was the limit from the paris climate accord. how worried are you on what is going to happen these next 5 years? carl: i mean, as we look at the extreme events, i am worried of what will come for us. i think we should all be worried. and that is probably what is emerging the next couple years we are heading and el niño cycle because we see record

temperatures around the globe. and the ocean surface is as hot as it has ever been. this will lead to more extreme events in the tropical regions probably next year and the year after. potentially a spike also in annual temperatures. this could lead to a single year being a 1.5 degrees temperature increase but this is not linked to the paris -- which long-term -- paris agreement temperature limits which long-term average of 20 years or more. on this long-term average it is around 1.2 degrees. but on the average we have things like weather coming in on top of this and events and other things and they wiggle around it. we could have one of of years and it is a stark warning sign that we need to double down and increase our assets to carbon

emissions. brett: -- brent: would you say that our country is doing enough to prepare for this climate situation that we are talking about? carl: we don't do close to nearly enough on any front. we are failing our climate commitments. we are not on track to go to the paris agreement levels. we need to have emissions under control and we really need to get going. because we don't, the brunt of these impacts are being paid by birnerova people around the globe and we just seen videos of people suffering from these climate extremes. and we also see while it is important to get serious about those impacts, these limits are beyond the expectations and abilities of communities and what politics can deal with. and we need to really get a hold and a handle on climate change and limit if we want to deal

with that problem. brent: yes, we have been hearing that now for decades. you wonder when it will end. carl from climate analytics. thank you for your time. carl: thank you very much. brent: we stay in italy where the government is accused of putting vulnerable people at risk with laws that restrict the lives of migrants. at least 44,000 have arrived on italian shores this year. authorities want to limit legal protection for migrants and asylum-seekers. >> lunch service at a restaurant like no other on -- pizza and spice were set up by afghan refugee ali and almost all staff here are migrants or former asylum-seekers. we want to help -- [speaking foreign language]

>> we want to help people integrate and to give them something so they can give back. with the law changing often, many struggle to get documents and i have always tried to help them up. -- help them. it is not easy. >> now it is getting even harder. italy's far right led government is restricting access to residence permits and outside of the family atmosphere here, the mood toward migrants is shifting. >> now we know the government is not that easy for refugees here. it is changing. but people have died in the sea, yeah, it is not easy at all. >> after a deadly shipwreck in february and a spike in boat arrivals this year, rorome revealed plan to crackdown on smugglers. [speaking foreign language]

>> we are determined to defeat human trafficking which is responsible for this tragedy. our response to what has happened is the policy of greater firmness on the issue. >> but, in the small print of the decree, a watering down of special migrant protection law. authorities claim it has become a pull factor encouraging people to make dangerous journeys to italy. >> italy's special protection status offers temporary resident rights to people who are not able to be classified as refugees, but who are at risk of rights violations if they are forced to return to their country of origin. under the new rules that still exists, but it is harder to access. >> across town -- local social workers who offer advice to migrants are weary of the changes. people can no longer qualify of protection by showing proof of family ties or integration into society. the question is whether this will push more people into life outside of the law leaving them undocumented and more vulnerable to exploitation. >> there will be much more

people on the street and not inside the project because they will not have the assets of this special protection. >> back at the restaurant, business is booming. but with this new serving of legal uncertainty, the staff here have a lot on their plate. brent: it has been eight months since a young woman died in police custody in iran. her death, as you remember set off nationwide protests. the demonstrations have become less common but the resistance against the islamic regime remain. in the next report we meet some of the women who are defying the laws that limit their freedom. >> this is how iran's capital looks these days. women with head scarves and

without. it is part of the islamic republic's latest enforced -- strict dress code that it considers to be part of its dna. as part of this resistance they could face severe punishment. to protect them, we are not showing their faces when they are speaking up. [speaking foreign language] >> i still go out the way i like with my favorite clothes and others people way of looking at me does not matter to me at all. actually, not only win, but also other women do not have any problem with this and they do not give me bad looks at all. >> islamic regime, however, does have a problem with it. and has made hijab enforcement a priority. and authorities are keeping a low profile in the streets but the regime has found other ways to put pressure on those that do not comply.

surveillance cameras are monitoring public spaces for women that violate the law. more than 2000 businesses have been closed for serving women without ahead scarf -- a head scarf and yet many keep doing so because they fundamentally disagree with this leadership. this man tells us this under the condition of anonymous. >> it is a backward movement the idea they took is against the process of society. we are not living 1400 years ago. to be concerned about women's hair in this way, today, we have many more important concerns and we face poverty and many political issues. i think that era of these restrictions has passed. >> and so even political analyst within the islamic republic

admits the regime is losing control when it comes to this highly symbolic issue. [speaking foreign language] >> the government finds itself in a paradoxical situation which is both puzzling to themselves and others. while they claim to stand their ground. in practice, they seem to be unable to take action in the streets. >> the people we speak to here are sure this is a result of the mass protest following -- the discipline on women in police custody. [speaking foreign language] >> i think what happened in this recent uprising was that we all learned courage. in my opinion, these fines and these restrictions that happen in society and that are increasing every day will not have much effect. because we learned how to be brave. >> brave nests -- braveness that

is making irani and leaders nervous because it would spill over to other restrictions that iran imposes on its citizens. and questions its power even more. brent: rafa nadal, the tennis player, says he expects 2024 to be his final season. the hip injury has sidelined him since january. the search -- 36-year-old has won 13 titles at roland garros and will miss it for the first time since making his debut their way back in 2005. same with tennis, world number three, daniil medvedev has put up against -- of qualifier yana kaufman -- he rose to a 6-2 against his opponent. he had never won a match against his opponent but he produced his

than expected. first, we go to italy. the death toll in the floods in the north of the country has risen to 13 at least. the nation has been inundated with rain for days with over 20 rivers now having burst their banks. almost 300 separate landslides have been reported. italy's prime minister is promising to help, but the terrain and rough weather are making it a tough task to reach everyone in a. a state of calamity has been declared. 20 billion euros are expected to be needed to rebuild after this emergency. >> it is all hands on deck as search-and-rescue crews worked to reach trapped survivors isolated by floodwaters and left without power or self-service.

some cities were still underwater with cars and basements flooded. >> at some point, the authorities told us all to leave the area. roughly about an hour later, we heard a loud boom. we ran and looked. the water just flooded all over. >> the downpours have killed a number of people and devastated homes and farms. nearly two dozen rivers and streams burst their banks, submerging homes. more than 5000 farms are underwater with drowned animals and tens of thousands of hectors up vineyards through trees, vegetables, and grains flooded. >> we come to try to save people and animals. the situation is still tough. it is tragic. we hope it will improve.

i don't know what the weather forecast will be. >> meanwhile, residents wade through the mud to salvage what they can. however, for many, what was lost can never be replaced. has mammoth cleanup efforts begin in some of the affected areas, authorities say electricity has been partially restored but that 27 thousand people are still in the dark. the region had already been hit by heavy rains a fortnight ago. italy's prime minister meanwhile pledged support for flood victims and set -- said her government was ready to intervene with aid. mark: in a moment, another story about the effects of the change of climate, but for now, and

oceanographer turning his life. the production we will hit 1.5 degrees celsius rising world temperature earlier than expected, this is something that perhaps people from your perspective might not be surprised about. other people with less knowledge will be. can you give us some kind of sense of what all this means? >> thank you very much for the invitation. we have a continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions. less energy is going out of the system because we have the greenhouse effect. mark: is what we have seen in italy a result of what you have just been talking about? >> we still need further

scientific analysis to determine if this is a direct impact from climate change, but the last ipcc report has shown that with each increase in warming, we will be subjected to more intense and more extremes. mark: the situation, then, is something we should all be alarmed about. do you feel we are at a point of no return? is this point people have been feeling? >> we have still everything in our hand in order to slow down the effects of climate change and to avoid the 1.5 degrees, which was predicted to be a turning point. >> each individual person has their role to play. i think everybody realizes that

even if they don't yet act on it. is it really people or is it governments that have the greatest role to play? isn't this about legislation and governments taking action? >> i think this is a global problem which affects all of us, so it is all of us who have to take action, which includes everybody from us but also the politicians, but we also need to know that we still are facing changes, and we need to think weekly on adequate adaptation measures. mark: what is your message to some very high-profile climate change deniers who are very vociferous about their beliefs? i'm thinking previously about donald trump he was president,

saying that we will continue, as he put it. some voices coming out of china, for instance, don't think there is such a great issue as we were talking about. >> i think our role as a scientist is to inform about the changes and to analyze what we can see in the data. this had been assessed and put together from scientists all over the world. my recommendation message is that more needs to listen to his messages. mark: thank you very much indeed for giving us that assessment of the situation. we appreciate your time.

let's go now to myanmar with the cost of a cyclone is being countered, though in a military control state, the news is not emerging quickly and clearly. at least 54 people that we know of so far confirmed dead. more than 185,000 buildings damaged by the sword with wind up over 200 kilometers per hour. -- more than 185,000 buildings damaged by the storm. the government's tight control of information leave the actual devastation unclear. the cyclone roaring in from the bay of bengal on sunday, it is bangladesh in the widest wave of western myanmar's state home of the rohingya muslims. many are now homeless.

>> it has been called a humanitarian catastrophe as myanmar's state reels from the devastating cyclone. residents search for food and water. in the capital of the region, water purification plants are shut down as a consequence of the storm, leaving thousands without a supply of drinkable water. while some can afford to purchase the commodity for a high price, those from poorer communities are left to rely on aid. >> this is my place and many people are in front of me. i just wanted to get two water tanks. i think this is the only place in the city that is giving water. >> same scenario in this monastery where the united nations world food program has set up temporary accommodation. people are rushing to receive bags of rice. >> i have not eaten for four days. i don't have bowls, plates, or a home. i don't even have clothes to change.

i'm here to ask for rice since my family is starving. >> however, the cyclone has cut off certain areas from the world, making aid access difficult. the united nations saying negotiations with myanmar's military junta for access to cyclone-affected areas are still ongoing. the memory of 2008's cyclone remains. >> it is estimated that at least 3 million people are going to need humanitarian aid -- emergency humanitarian aid as a direct result of the cyclone, but the humanitarian response capacity is limited because of severe underfunding. >> this underfunding could affect the rohingya exiles in particular. several hundred thousand members of the ethnic group are living in the areas affected by the

cyclone between myanmar and neighboring bangladesh. mark: we are watching for development there. next, syria's president survived in saudi arabia. state media confirming this. the visit marks assad's return to the arab fold. the buddy crackdown on protests, triggering a conflict that has killed more than 500,000 people as well as displacing millions. saudi arabia, other ever countries, sever ties at the time. earlier this month, the pan everybody welcomed damascus back with hosts inviting assad back, despite objections from some other countries.

the syrian pro-government newspaper set aside will likely meet a number of leaders in bilateral meetings. the last arab league summit that assad attended was back in 2010 in libya. >> how is it that a man, syrian president bashar assad, who is accused of some of the most atrocious war crimes, including torture, mass execution, using chemical weapons against his own people, a man who has shown no remorse over 12 years of civil war and counting, and men who has flouted every single call by the international community to change his ways -- how is it he is now being welcome with open arms back into the fold here in the arab league summit? the answers simple but not that simple. there is a mixture of both weariness over the war -- it has just been going on so long and nothing seems to really change. there's also a sense of resignation, a feeling that

bashar assad, even the people are not saying it as such, that he has won. essentially, he is not going quietly into the night. he is not going anywhere any time soon. then there's the cold realpolitik, the fact that many of these nations are facing extremely tough challenges, and some of them have been brought on directly as a result of the war in syria, including a flood of drugs, one cup cap gun, which is a potent amphetamine, which has flooded markets here in saudi arabia, but also the outstanding question of millions of displaced people and refugees from the syrian war. millions of refugees who ended up in countries like jordan, like lebanon, and their fate still remains unresolved. bashar assad right now is seen in many respects as a lesser of many evils, and a lot of people feel they have no choice at this point after so many years of

ending grueling war, but to work with him, not just to help resolve syria's problems but to help resolve their own problems closer to home. mark: ukraine says this thursday a shot of entered her barrage of russian missiles overnight, the latest in an unprecedented wave of aerial attacks on the capital. the ukrainian defense ministry said russian forces had launched 30 christmases from land, sea, and air, targeting several regions, killing o person in the southern port of odessa and another in the eastern region of kharkiv. russian strikes on the capital kyiv have reached an intensity not seen since the wave of attacks started last autumn. >> it is the latest attack on kyiv, which has failed to strike the ukrainian capital.

rocket debris could be seen in the streets after the city was attacked for the ninth time this month. the military said it had shut down 29 out of the 36 missiles which targeted the country and that none had struck the capital. nonetheless, residents were shaken. >> i woke up and jumped out of bed. people say their windows are broken. the plastic ones held out. the wooden ones broke. >> debris cost two fires in kyiv. we also heard in the central regions. officials said one person was killed and two injured in an attack on odessa. earlier in the week, ukrainian air defenses intercepted an intense russian attack on kyiv. an american-made patriot air defense system was damaged in the attack remained operational according to officials. western air defense systems such

as the patriot have been crucial in protecting kyiv from damage along the country's main front line. the attacks committee is preparing to launch a counteroffensive against russia 's invading forces. mark: we are watching for all development on the situation in ukraine. time now for truth or fake. good evening. tonight, elon musk's new wife is a robot -- truth or fake? >> i will tell you in this segment that for the last couple of days, pictures of elon musk have been going viral. images of him dancing and kissing a series of female robots have taken the internet by storm. in a series of viral posts, internet users claim these photos are proof that the tech billion errors in the final stages of creating a robot wife to be sold under his brand tesla and that he is in the final

stages of creating, as we can see, a humanoid-looking, realistic robot. according to this post, the female robot underdevelopment even has a name, and some of her teachers include solar energy without charging. she is also equipped with sensory means that make her feel emotions like sadness and happiness. she also has a balanced and interactive mindset. this also further aspects to her personality that we can see. the female robot will use batteries that will last according to the female menstrual cycle. also details about how the robot would be capable of physical intimacy, and in terms of the prize, allegedly, the range is between $32,000 to $79,000. i can confirm that all of these photos are not real. they are created using artificial intelligence, and if we look closer, we can indeed

see some of those telltale markers. we know they are is not good at creating hands. there's always too many fingers or distortion in the hand. we can see that here. yes, there is no robot wife here. these are created by ai. mark: so, the question is who done it? >> if we go back to another hey i generated photo id bumped -- another ai-generated photo i debunked of the pub, the creator is the very same. an artist that goes by the name guerrero arts. he did not limit his artistic endeavor to one tech billionaire. he did another, a series on mark zuckerberg as well with other female robots. there's more kissing there as well. we can see not just a female robot but a humanoid robot, and

in this set, mark zuckerberg is the robot. this set has definitely taken it an extra step further. however, all of those pictures, as i said, were not made by this artist. there was another contributor as well, and that is the artist diana stark. she took to twitter to explain exactly how and why she made these. what's interesting is we can see her prompt that she entered into the ai program in order to create those, and the prompt is extremely detailed. it is not just what she wants the photograph to be, which is elon musk kissing hyper feminine female robot, but there's massive amounts of detail including exactly which type of camera type it would have to look like it has come from, also camera settings, and even color gratings and massive amount of details. mark: this all sounds incredibly sinister. takes -- fakes like that story

about the robot wife. musk, though, as you alluded to, has a human robot project. >> yes, that part is true, though it has nothing to do with the fake news about eight robot wife. the tesla robot that is in development has been announced since 2021 under that name. musk at the time quoted that he thinks that optimist has the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business over time. in fact, just yesterday, we just got new updates on the progress and development of the tesla bought -- teslabot. it is able to walk unassisted and pick things up. this is the video that was released on official tesla channels just 24 hours ago, though unlike musk's initial confidence it would be production ready by 2023, it does not look like it is quite ready for that just yet based on

what we are seeing, but overall, while tesla is indeed developing a humanoid robot under its banner, it certainly is not a robot wife, and all of the images we sought there are indeed generated by our special intelligence. mark: on so many levels, very scary future and very scary present. thank you very much indeed for bringing us that truth or fake segment. let's not go to the con film festival -- let's now go to the cannes film festival. >> the famous cannes, the palais de festival. cannes is officially underway. this is the most prestigious red carpet in the world. 60 meters long with 24 steps right under the festival postal
