but it be as nic conley, they're reporting from central ukraine. so just how under equipped are the ukrainians at this stage, i put that question to prank lead, which a military analyst and former intelligence officer with the british army. they use thousands of shells every day. it has been since the start and remains essentially an artillery bottle. and the problem they face in artillery bottles is every shell create as a field or rex. a building doesn't actually have any tactical effect. is a shell, throw it away. so what the west is trying to do is give them precision weaponry. as you say, they're running out of the old build weapons ammunition. the thing is, of course, several weeks now and not getting enough. the amounts are getting, for example, of rocket artillery strikes, deep into the russian logistics rear. absolutely essential to stop the supply of russia. shells coming forward and strike russian artillery headquarters, the gifts and supplies at west events like insufficient that drop in the ocean's. what's required to the point actuall

he conley zero views- well living. we've the- movie leave the need a conning tower losing william hung who the. shop. i've been told in the ways of the ponca which means sacred head. that we're supposed to have witnessed wherever we travel. so that we can be sure that we have told the truth when we go back home and our people ask us what was said what was done. so i'm asking this water to stand witness for you and for i. and for all the things that are said and done in this sacred manner. when i say thank you to alexis for the beautiful word she said about me. the it's kind of tricky i think my daughters and sons my dissenter that note to say and you better say this about our mama said. she's an incredible human being and it's an honor to work with her it's an honor to be here among you. it's an honor to be among lawyers. it's an honor to be alive at this time of crisis. it's an honor to be with relatives we talk about the rights of nature. as if that's a separate thing from us. and so in our way. when we wrote this st

and we can cross over to the craning capital cave, where he deli, nick conley is standing by. neck. tell us how big of a blow is this retreat from severe red onions? this is obviously a big deal. definitely. this is the top news here in ukraine, but it's sort of expected. and ukraine government has prepared public opinion and world opinion even for this 4 weeks now and distress you will, along as basically been to make the russians pay as high price possible for the smallest possible gains. similar to what we saw in mario pl. really make them fight for every street for every meter of ground. and hope that basically they exhaust themselves in the situation where obviously they still have huge superiority in terms of the weapons available. and we've heard different figures. ukrainian government figures talking about 10 times more artillery in the russian or the russian side than on the ukrainian side. so ukraine really having to choose its battles carefully and to use what little equipment it has as cleverly as possible. now they've made the decision to withdraw from sort of nets cons

it is un conley as in central ukraine in the town of cor pivot in that ski. this is what he told me earlier about the fight for sabera dentist. well, definitely this battle for soda than that has been going on for weeks. and many times before. you've had me tricks but saying that now is the time now the last 2 days of ukrainian control of several of the nets. and then we've seen reverses, unfortunately, ukrainians taking a bit more of the town center, moving out from the kind of industrial outskirts where they've been pushed back to . but it does seem that now this is the end, almost the end for ukrainian control on that bank of the river. and this was ukraine's last biggest outpost on the northern bank of the civically been it's river crucial defensive feature there. and with the news, the russians have blown up, as we've been hearing here in ukraine today, to bridges leaving any one connection across the river of sea, supplying those ukrainian forces on the other bank will be increasingly difficult if not impossible. and it looks like you're trained command

of that western ammunition and western equipment. arriving him, i was steadily correspond, and ne conley with his assessment from southern ukraine. let's now take a look at some other developments in the war. the mayor of mario full has warned of a major cholera outbreak in the southern ukrainian city. he said that with much of the infrastructure damaged or destroyed, people were forced to drink contaminated water. russian troops took control of mario ball last month after weeks of bombardment, which left the city in ruin. the united nations has expressed concern after a pro russian court, an eastern ukraine sentenced 3 foreign fighters to death. the court accused the men to britons and american of been mercenaries, and therefore not entitled to the standards of prisoners of war. the west has condemned the trial as a sham and german chancellor, olaf sean says visited belgrade as part of his to day to were of the balkan. he called on serbia to follow e u countries and imposing sanctions on russia. earlier sholtes visited kosovo whose independence serbia refuses to recognize. both countrie

c w is nick conley is in kia. he told us how people reacted to sunday's rocket attack on the capital. think definitely a shock. this was the 1st attack for weeks and the 1st for much longer than that, that really hit a residential area. so close the downtown about to clamped is where i am standing now. i heard the last of the blasts, and definitely you had messages on your phone for people around city. everyone who kind of tried to commit themselves that they could live some kind of normal life, couple of 100 kilometers behind the front lines. now brought back to the reality of war very quickly. and also this of the showed at how on precise the weapons of the missile systems, all that russia is using. there is a factory where in the past the some weapons did she were produced. i think no one really believes that there was anything going on there right now, given the logistic situation. ukraine, given the vulnerability that everyone knows they have here. but this hits residential air is kindergarten. quite some met

our correspondent ne conley, who is in tease, told us her life in the ukrainian capital is looking now. while things here are outwardly kind of normal cafes are open. kindergartens. a reopening, there is life on the streets, but it is a shadow of the energy and just the sheer numbers people that would have been here pre war. and basically, based on what you see in terms of people, in terms of traffic jams, it's less than half in terms of population compared to pre war. and there are lots people now who actually want to come back, but can't afford to come back because their savings have run out of to 3 months of war and lots of jobs, lots of jobs connected to tourism, connected to people having spare money to spend on the luxuries on the nice things life they are closing their doors and people don't have jobs to come back to. there are lots of ukrainians in poland and other countries in europe who are desperate to get back. now that they think the situation here is more or less tenable for now, but they can't. and this is now the real crux of to 100 days after 100 days with outside worl

all right, well let's bring an dw corresponded nick conley, who's in key force. nick, good to see you. m so evil can only be defeated on the battlefield. how does he plan on achieving that goal? considering that the ukrainian arm is at running out of weapons. this is definitely about playing for time until those crucial western deliveries finally, make themselves felt on the front lines. lots of stuff promised from the u. s. from germany from the u. k. and it is finally arriving, question of training for ukrainian troops to make sure they can actually use it effectively. but there is a sense here in key of that ukraine is able to hold up with on these front lines. but 2000 clumps. the front lines between russian troops and ukrainian troops, and that if they can slow the russian advance in place, like several of the nets, which basically weeks now the russians have been trying to take and failing only, but managing to pick up a couple of streets by the day of the week, even then by the time those weapons, rita, they'll be able to turn the tide in that time is actu

our correspondent nick conley is in keith, and he told us more about the area. the cover is a 5th of ukraine, that president zalinski asserts is now under russian control. bo includes crimea and the areas in east and on best that russia controlled before february 24th before the beginning of this war. but they have made quite significant turturro gains in the south, had sworn in that land bridge, linking russian annex crimea with russia. and then also in the north near, had give in dawn, best actually strange enough that there has been less in the way, comparatively, or movement on for lunch. so this is the region where ukraine has been defending itself against russ proxy for 8 years. and where the defenses are the best developed and the strongest. and we've seen extraordinarily heavy fighting around several dozen ask in recent days we heard from zelinski today that ukrainian losses are at about a 100 soldiers a day with about $4500.00 additional casualty. in terms of wounded heavily, severely wounded. so these are very, very significant losses. and right now uk

earlier i spoke to w correspondent conley, who's in the ukranian capital, keith, and after russian forces seized control of severity on the ask, i asked him how big of a victory this is for moscow? i think if we zoom out a bit and maybe wait for a few months to see the real differences of this, it might turn out to be all oh victory. yes, this is a big city. yes, this is something they've been fighting for for weeks, but is it really important enough to have invested so much time, so much weaponry in so many lives. and it seems to be that the grange strategy is as with marable, basically to bind the russians for as long as possible, forced them into those kind of street for street urban battles, of proving incredibly costly in terms of russian lives. and then to pull back or when possible in the last possible moment to avoid losing unnecessary ukrainian military personnel in that battle. i think it's important to remember here that this is basically the only big you, christy, that rush has been able to take in over a month. the last was marable and basically, all the big russian victories

i think doubly correspondent nick conley. in goliath. well let's look at the progress of this war from the failed attempt to take keep to the grinding slog of the battle in the dawn bass. they w reporter joel dull roy has been looking at russia's changing military goals. well, during the 3 and a half months of russia's invasion of ukraine, the front line has shifted dramatically. russia's initial attempt focused on the capital of keys and the 2nd biggest city of khaki have. but the ukrainian military surprised their world with a defined resistance pushing the underprepared russians back. after leaving here, they focus most of the units on the south and east and focus their efforts. instead on taking full control of the don bass region. the port city of mario poll also became a major flash point. ukrainian troops held out there longer than anyone expected, under terrible conditions, but finally surrendered in may who after months of strong ukrainian resistance western military analysts say that russia is now regaining some traction rushes

our correspondent conley is in the city of crimean. shocked at the sight of the attack, he described the aftermath and gave us the latest on the rescue operation. indeed, and the smell, the acrid smell, is still heavy in the air. this is more than 24 hours since this blast happens. you can imagine what it was like in the 1st couple of hours, and some of the emergency services have already left that we're making sure that all the blast that all of the fire rather had been extinguished. but there's still lots of such rescue going on. and we're hearing information from the governor of this region who says that up to 30, maybe potentially more people are still unaccounted for. potentially still under the rubble here, am over 20 dead and some still a very critical condition. so pretty extraordinary damage in a place that is hundreds of come to a from the frontline, where people thought that basically they were for the most part away from the main action. this city's most important 3 d object. the, or refinery, ukraine's biggest had been basically destroyed months ago, so there was nothing

consequences at the un for the destruction and death here in crevice. chuck our correspondent, nick conley is in ukraine. he's on the scene in a crime and shock. we're that missile strike took place sir. nick, the ukrainian government has released a video that it says shows the moment of impact when the missiles struck them all. what more can you tell us about that video? that video which seemingly comes from a security camera shows a missile hitting in the foreground. you see some industrial equipment stored. we haven't be able to get there yet. we're hoping to get there in the next few hours to see the direction from which it was filmed. to make sure that fits the geography here, but certainly if you talk to people here on the ground locals, they point to the patent destruction behind me of this shopping mall. one side basically fully collapsed. they say that the impact, whereas l aside burnt out, the russian version is that a fire spread from the factory behind the small and that it's, you know, spread to the, to the mall by mistake through destination, maybe of some of those weapons. t

highest but i'm off the phone in the, in the national play when the oh oh i the oh, it's a whole conley with martha in. i'm not sure what it is. it cut off by it the more so when you were for just social with them was they move on was margaret. so the last thing that i a mutual says shells, spectacles guzman, with a new way in the close floor. we used to know at the mere style, boston mulish m. still a good woman with something with your quote, i'm good on auto kidney. she'll fortunate daily for also, so look, ah, i see the current prices in st. long as the continuation of the global financial crisis of 2008, which really has a result. we have only been trying to financial eyes and bubble up icon and, and, and what i see as perhaps a crisis of neoliberalism shooting st. first. so i don't think the usual solutions going to, we're going to have drastically change direction. we ought to come up with this tracy with a at least 5 civilians die in the latest shilling of don. yet residential areas reportedly by forces who are reported using nato weapons to target civilian infrastructure. europ

room, but the light from the law firm handling the national level one. 0, oh i the oh, it's a whole conley with martha. and i'm not sure what it is. it cut off by 2 more or so when you before just so full of numbers. they move margaret. so the usual to show you who discussion you will you on the floor here. we'll see you at the new boston louis sam still we minutes. it would have been something we can get another kid, a horse's daily throw. some of the oh the the me see the current crisis in 3 on the continuation of the global financial crisis of 2008, which really hasn't been resolved. we have only been trying to financial eyes and blah, blah, economy and and what i see as perhaps the crisis of new liberalism shooting through october 1st. so i don't think the usual solutions going to we're going to have to drastically change direction the are to come up with this crisis. the news news, news only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking to that is that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nation. so the slave ameri

nick conley visited a farmer on the front lines near me. call life birdsong and tractors not the only sounds on india even of is 4000 hector's artillery far in the distance, never really stops. but in a d and her team, a preoccupied with other things, the quarter 1000000 look at the suite. it's under fed. it's under love to that, i think but that wasn't for want of trying on ideas, but for most of the crew slowly growing season, she couldn't even get to have fields they were was own fighting is now at least 25 kilometers away. far enough from the d n. her team to get back to feeding the world the glare of the missile fly over our heads towards mc alive over there. we're in the fields catches fire really easily with all the dry straw. if you do get a direct hit, you could lose hector's to the flames. in a matter of minutes, this unexploded russian missile had dug its way a meter into the ground. to some the ordinance of the russians left behind them. no st. landmines and countless shells. they also took a lot with them from chainsaws to food

well, the job is nick conley is covering this story in keys, and i asked him how zalinski might believe russia could be stuffed on the battlefield with ukraine running short of ammunition for its forces. this is definitely about playing for time until those crucial western deliveries. finally, make themselves felt on the front lines. lots of stuff promised from the u. s. from germany from the u. k. and it is finally arriving. question of training for ukrainian troops. make sure they can actually use it effectively. but there is a sense here in key of that ukraine is able to hold up on these front lines, about 2000 clumps, the front lines between russian troops and ukrainian troops. and that if they can slow the russian advance to place activity, the net, which basic for weeks now the russians have been trying to take and failing only, but managing to pick up a couple of streets by the day or the week, even then by the time those weapons, rita, there be able to turn the tide in that time is actually in their favor that russia will exhaust itself. that's that, that the, the mood here that

and it argues nick conley is in the ukranian capital. here for a little earlier, i asked him if russia is winning the battle in the don bus? i think on the local level 17, this is a chance. yes. this is going in the way that the russians had hoped will be much more slowly and with much greater losses than they had expected. but i think if you kind of zoom out and look at the bigger picture, dumbass, they still only control about half of the done yet region. yes, they control most the lo hunter region that makes up the dumbass. but they took most of that in the 1st few weeks when ukraine basically was fighting a war on several fronts the same time. so they've not made much progress in the best part of a few months. you remember mario pl fell to the russians in may. so basically it's the 1st big city 70 it's that has fallen to russian hands now in. yeah, a month in terms of list a chance. guess there is a, with the risk that people leave it too late, that they don't follow those warnings until they can hear the fighting, basically around t

but no, since the people here are ready to give up or to give in to rushes demons. nic conley and keep thinking you're reporting germany as hosting talks today aimed at tackling the living global food crisis. the war and ukraine has led to rising food prices and shortages around the world, especially in countries that were already struggling to feed their populations. german foreign affairs minister and alina babcock, spoke to the media ahead of the conference. let's take a listen. as since nish will not to 70000 a since we are not talking about hundreds of thousands, we are talking about millions of people. there are 345000000 women children and man worldwide, who are facing an acute shortage a flight. oh, we are facing a famine crisis that confronts us, like a threatening wave to and i asked was not russia's attack when ukraine has turned this way into a su nami. since the beginning of the war, prices for grain, world wide, have one smart shut up in my in you who the shorten. now baby hailey gabriel is the assistant director general at the united nations food and agriculture organiza

thanks, rick, at the w, corresponded nick conley in mc alive. going back to those 3 soldiers who have been sentenced to death. one of them is moroccan natural, brought him as a dune, asked his friend mo, as a hans to that. why bry, him decided to join ukraine's military? well, the problem is, but she didn't find a job. he was a university, but so he was feeling useless. so he wanted to do something useful, and also he told me he wanted to get some military experience. and others court says he's a mercenary. what do you think is a that's his not a mercenary. i have all the copies of his documents, all those contracts signed names, but they are meant for ukraine. so he's not a mercenary. he is, you know, like the, the folder of the ukraine and army. and i have all the documents verifying, but and confirming that he signed that contract in november of 2021. well, the sentencing of those 3 men is certain to raise concerns about the fate of other captured foreign fighters. as early as the 27th of february, ukraine announced the formation of a foreign

dw nick conley reports from the front lines in the southern mich alive region where ukrainian forces are making some advances. despite a shortage of equipment, russia may be making gains in the dawn best, but it's a different story here. 600 kilometers to the southwestern mich alive. ukraine is pushing russian forces out of villages like these. closing in on the russian occupied city of hudson b, ukrainian commanders where their advanced comrade of steam be stopped or even reversed. after more than a 100 days of relentless fighting, their supplies, weapons, and ammunition, running dangerously low healdsburg. we meet victor and his crew some way behind the front lines. when will broke out and they were all working abroad. all of them decided to give up their lives in safety, in poland and germany, to return home to fight. victor found the little had changed since his time is a recruit and the soviet army decades earlier. well, there are 13 can 1st the so this how it is just old. it's way past his prime little don't you? we be making the most of it. but what can you expect from a weapo

fierce defense and inflicting a heavy toll on russia's military last correspondent in odessa. nic conley, if this were starting to look like the end game in the region. i think that's a bit early, and they basically have controlled most of the land squeaking now for weeks, basically, since the early part of this war in ukraine. they've been stuck though. instead of the nets, that last big ukrainian stronghold on the territory of lo, hunter, region. and for all the predictions from experts that given russia's superior firepower and the fact that russia is concentrating all its force to this very, very small stretch of the much longer front lines. it's still not falling to them. it's still not proving possible for them to get the ukrainians out of there at the cranes really having to work, especially hard because they haven't busy count or all the musicians or the artillery they have because they're just massively under stocked, even if they have enough people to have enough soldier, enough people willing to go and fight, but they definitely don't have the kind of tech and those western su

for the destruction and death here in kraven, chuck spoke a little while ago to dw correspondent conley, who's in kremlin shook, and i asked him to tell us more about the video released by the ukranian government that it says shows the moment the missile struck them all. that video which seemingly comes from a security camera shows a missile hitting in the foreground. you see some industrial equipment stored. we haven't been able to get there yet. we're hoping to get there in the next few hours to see the direction from which it was filmed to make sure that fits the geography here. but certainly, if you talk to people here on the ground locals, they point to the patent destruction behind me of this shopping mall. one side basically fully collapsed. they say that the impact, whereas l aside burnt out, the russian version is that a fire spread from the factory behind the small and that it's, you know, spread to the, to the mall by mistake to destination. maybe of some of those weapons. the ukraine side dismisses that and puts the fact that there is quite some gap between the area of the f

i know that representative jerry conley, we are more than willing to offer we did not seek a pardon from the white house either before or after january 6th or, frankly, at any point in time. i believe it's a very simple question that every single member of congress should be able to answer. >> people like scott perry are denying it. you just don't believe him? >> well, we'll see what the evidence that the committee lays out will be, but if the committee, as indicated, has evidence that several members of congress did seek a pardon, you do have representative perry refusing to comply with the bipartisan investigation into the events of january 6th. i believe the committee would never make an allegation so serious without very substantial evidence to present to the american public. >> congresswoman, you heard my reporting about a framework for a bipartisan framework on gun safety. that deal is not expected to include so-called assault weapons ban or raising the age to buy a firearm. would you vote for that compromise? >> well, i think when it comes to guns, we have to look at all the optio

conley said that was complete leaf falls. mr. goodale the washington commanders. >> i'm sorry ranking member. >> when did you learn that this committee was investigating the washington commanders. >> i believe it was late october of last year. >> were you surprised? >> yes. >> why. >> because i thought we had handled the situation and a way that was responsible for the workplace, we implemented unprecedented discipline, we made the changes to transform the workplace. >> let me get this right, one reason you were surprised because nfl took action and held the bad actors accountable and another reason because congress really has no jurisdiction over the day-to-day operations of the nfl. the committee democrats asked the nfl to produce documents, correct? >> yes. >> about a document, right? >> i think over 460,000. >> 450,000, nearly half a million documents. would it surprise you mr. goodell that committee democrats haven't said a single document requested the biden administration about the infinite formula shortage questioning tha

. >> tell us the story of george conley. >> i of course dated a guy named rowe fernandez for the better part of a decade on and off. it was a great mentor of mine. he was in my immediate boss. and relative to this moment is a very dear friend of mine . he's happily married to a wonderful woman, has three great kids but he e was a mentor of mine. i was focused on my business, running. i've taken up running and had talked at the time with chris matthews who we both know well. they the only thing it ever helped me with was running. so i dswas disinterested, i didn't want to date anybody. i said i'm sure they're nice but she introduced us. i drove up from new york city to a beautiful hamlet in the hamptons. george was in the house in august and we finally met in january 1988 and my 19 months later i was still available. i wasn't dating and luckily george was or was it again and i call it entry at first sight. i thought he was mysterious and i enjoyed his company but george persisted.i felt what was different about him was that he came mout with charming ways to courtney and i say good god,

i can't worry about george conway tweets in part because he wasn't worried about george conley suites. he was being the president. he mentioned george to me probably three times. specifically and frankly when you quote the president about george that was also very sparing as opposed to georgia send over 100,000 tweets and counting 100,000. i think when president trump left the white house, it was about 20 or 30,000 is certainly wasn't 100,000 and he's still at it and this is a free country and george can tweet if he wants but there's a cost to spending your time a certain way and you know, i choose not to spend my time that way i don't want to i don't want to regret living so much in my life online at now. let alone with these four kids alone later, but but look it's a hell of a way to try to get your wife. let's always love george but madonna, so can you all men it's a hell of a way to try to get your wife to leave her job to try to force her out of her job. you think he did it to get attention to get you home? i think he did it to get attention and he got attention, but people shoul

conley's now recognize her. >> i think the chair and i think being here today. i was a chairman of fairfax county when the virginia tech massacre occurred. at that point in american history that was the worst gun massacre in our history. i buried six young children, students that week, six. i am still in touch with many of the families years later. and the emptiness in their hearts and souls cannot be filled. it is a tragedy that lives with them forever. those children were killed by a mentally ill person who should not have had access to weapons but did. he was not a criminal, he was mentally ill. we hear excuse after excuse that gun laws don't work. the restaurant experience would suggest otherwise. after a series of massacres in backcountry australia adopted some strict gun laws. they did not have that massacres weekly that we do. it changed behavior. because it changed access to weapons and ammunition. we have heard the answer is arm our teachers that would be the solution. ms. pringle you deal with teachers with that be a good solution from your point of vi
