geoff: and simon joins me now from kyiv.in your report the ukrainian foreign affairs minister saying ukraine had won the battle of kyiv. do residents there feel safe? simon: i think residents are still recovering from the shock because every day another shoe drops in terms of victims being found. people are trying to recover. ukrainian forces here were instrumental in defending kyiv and defeating the russian force that came in this direction from the north, they are being transferred to positions in that area. the ukrainian military is recalibrating and people living this region are having to come to terms with what happened here while the war continues. geoff: we heard accounts today of russian forces looting homes and stores and occupied parts of ukraine. what have you seen? simon: i have visited several towns where russian forces have been, and each one of them, except where the cities were ghting was too heavy to loot, diluting was nearly iversal. we went to a little place that was the sitof fierce fighting, but most of

simon jones, bbc news.v is the deputy mayor of mariupol — he told the bbc intense fighting continued around the southern city and that 150,000 people remained trapped there with no way out for the moment. the situation with mariupol was still become worse and worse. so city is in total and absolute full blockade. russia stopped to... stopped allowing to evacuate any citizens. and do not allow to enter any citizen, even local, even with confirmation that he was born here or their family lives here. so they do not allow... they do not allow to provide any humanitarian help. food, water, medicine. so we estimate that about 150,000 citizens are still in mariupol and they are just surviving and living like mouses underground in shelter, bomb shelters and spaces below the earth just to survive. ukrainian army continues to defend our city, ukraine still controls centre of the city, industrial parts of our city and some districts. and russia temporarily occupied some outskirts of mariupol. we should understand that

thank you so much, simon, for joining us and sharing your reporting.eanwhile, on thursday, judge ketanji brown jackson made history when she became the first black woman ever confirmed to the supreme court. today at the white house, judge jackson alongside the president and vice president celebrated the moment. >> it has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a black woman to be selected to serve on the supreme court of the united states. [applause] >> but we've made it. in the poetic words of dr. maya angelou, i am the dream and the hope of the slave. [applause] yamiche: a powerful moment. earlier this week i talked to a number of judge jackson's closest friends. here is what two of them had to say. >> it feels like, ahh! [laughter] that is my emotional response, but it does feel like it is a coming full circle. that is what we recognized so many years ago. >> during the hearings watching her, i felt her pain to see what shwent through, to see that she persevered. it really speaks not only to black women, but women everywhere. yamiche: nia, wh

simon: for the pbs newshour, i'm simon ostrovsky in yahidne, ukraine. amna: and our reporting on the war in ukraine is supported in partnership with the pulitzer center. stephanie: i'm stephanie sy with newshour west. we'll return to the full program after the latest headlines. a near-unanimous congress voted cut off normal trade relations with russia, and ban imports of russian oil. the action followed this week's reports of russian atrocities in ukraine. in the senate, majority leader chuck schumer condemned russian president putin before both bills passed by tallies of 100-0. sen. schumer: no nation whose military is committing war crimes deserves free trade status with the united states. no vile thug like putin deserves to stand as an equal with the leaders of the free world. he is a menace and a pariah who has ensured that his place in history will be one of everlasting shame. stephanie: later, the house of representatives approved the bills with only a handful of "no" votes. they now go to president biden for his signature. the speaker of the hous

simon: what's next? let's talk about a peace agreement.raine willing to make territorial concessions to russia in order to achieve a peace settlement? >> no. ukraine will not make territorial concessions to russia in order to achieve peace settlement. i'm copy pasting your question in my answer to avoid any misunderstandings or double interpretations. simon: but surely, i mean, some people watching this program will find it unbelievable, to imagine that ukraine will give no territorial concessions in order to achieve peace, to end the war. they'll say it's not realistic to expect the war to end without some kind of a territoriaconcession. >> i can tell to those people that since 2014, the recipe that was, the recipe of ending the war that was proposed to us by our partners, including the united states at that time, was, make a concession here and putin will step back. make a concession there, and it will pacify putin. and it never worked. stop looking for excuses, why not to help ukraine? and stand by us to make putin concede. not ukraine.

simon was 23 when he was murdered.at in york. he managed to come down the stairs... and there's a telephone box outside. and... he phoned for his own ambulance. and there were witnesses to say that she was still coming down the stairs holding the knife. the police came, my husband went out, he said, "the police are here." you go into mothering mode. he's my son. and i want to see my son. and i need to tell his brother. he's my son. nowjosie has a memory bear, made from simon's favourite shirt. simon's partner was convicted of murder and jailed. it had been a relationshipjosie was always uneasy about. simon changed, in a way. there was a little spark missing. and also, she would, the phone would go constantly. i believe because simon was male, it does not register so much. police are now working withjosie to try and encourage people to talk about domestic abuse in all relationships. it could save a life, couldn't it? that initial tentative discussion with a friend or family member and i think males with their friends ha

simon: the cemetery in bucha.e brought here one after the other, some dug out of a mass grave to be buried a second time, others collected from the street, found where they lay, after russian forces retreated from this area at the end of march. so far, 358 bodies, mostly civilian, have been recovered in the small suburb of the ukranian capital, kyiv, which has been become synonymous with russia's brutal campaign to subjugate ukraine by any means necessary. olha: damn the occupants. may every single one of them die. may their disgusting country cease to exist. animals. simon: olha kosyanchuk is laying her husband, anatoly, to rest. olha: he had only one day left until this 57th birthday and the liberation of bucha. simon: the last time she saw him, he had dug some potatoes out of his garden to take them to a distribution point to be shared with his neighbors, a final act of kindness that would result in his brutal murder. olha: they questioned him about something. then they led him away to an unknown location. no o

simon: these were the things they carried.l cap, a pet rabbit, its owner nowhere to be found. moments earlier, chaos and one of the more gruesome scenes of this war. the dead and dying thrown about by what a senior defense official said was a ballistic missile strike, on the more than 4,000 civilians on the platform at kramatorsk's rail stop. most were women and children desperate to flee. and now, so many are gone. local officials recounted the horror. >> there were many killed and injured here as well as ambulances and police. also fire engines. the cars were still on fire. it was hell on earth. they all had shrapnel injuries. simon: this is what the area around the train station looked like just yesterday - with travelers packed in, elbow to elbow. the ukrainian authorities had urged residents of the donbas region to leave the area as they braced for a major russian offensive, but this turned into one of the most single deadly incidents since the start of the war. the tail fin of a russian tochka-u ballistic missile was fou

how they can do that with just the support they're getting from germany, simon. so in summation support for ukraine, no change in security policy and no involvement of nato. thus right, i think the non involvement of nato is a clearly continuing policy because there is the fear that nato became a warring party, the war could spread. and also potentially vladimir putin could be tempted to escalate it somehow. for instance, with a nuclear strike or something like that. so that policy continues, but i think there is an argument within nature within the g 7 of how quickly you know they can ramp pop and really back the ukrainian defense effort. i mean, i will have shouts himself, says it's a russian objective now to take control of the integrity of ukraine. that's what he said today. well, you know, more support is definitely going to be needed from outside ukraine. if that effort is going to be resisted. simon young d w follicle correspondence reporting. thank you very much, simon. meanwhile, russia is stepping up its battle for control of ukraine's industrial heartl

thank you very much, simon. on the ground, russia stepping up, it's bad all for a control of ukraine's industrial heartland. officials on both sides are calling it a new phase of the 7 week or areas marked in blue. in this map are already under russian control. after days of regrouping, vladimir prudence forces have launched a full scale offensive with thousands of troops in the east and dumbass region. and a new frontline marked in red stretches along hundreds of kilometers. recent weeks have seen russia suffer humiliating setbacks around the capital. keith. the kremlin now says seizing don bass is the main goal of its so called special military operation. shots fired on the front line. ukraine says these are some of the opening salvos in rushes offensive in the east. in footage, released by the ukrainian defense ministry troops to say they are ready to defend the don bus. them too high, so let them come. this soldier says they will stay here forever. there is enough land to bury them all ukraine's president co

simon, so she will pay tax on her u.k.ldwi income, but is retaining her non-domicile status. what does that mean? >> there is a program that means you are non-domicile, meaning you live in the u.k., but for tax purposes, you are not considered a resident, meaning you don't pay taxes on your worldwide income. she has a large stake in infosys and gets about 1100 million pounds from dividends from that. she is saving herself to million pounds in income tax from that. it's perfectly legal when the person you are sharing number 11 downing street with is putting taxes on everyone else when there is a cost-of-living crisis. that got a little uncomfortable, and she sent me a statement, saying it has become clear that my non-domicile status is not compatible with my husband's role as chancellor. i appreciate the british sense of fairness and i do not want this to be a distraction from my husband or affect my family. she says she's going to volunteer to pay the tax, not because she has to, but because she wants to. however, she is r

after the peak of their careers i mean neil simon lived long neil simon was the most successful playwright of his time. he never with some exceptions. he never received the kind of critical. embrace that popular audiences and indeed to some degree he suffered because of his popular appeal. you know, i don't think i'm trying to think whether i've seen a neil simon play, but i don't. i got it sounds that sounds snobbish and i don't mean to. but what's the interesting about neil simon to me is in his later years. he you know, he lived. i mean i think his last successful play was in the early 90s. which something you sort of 25 years? in which you are this institution you, you know your theaters named after you you are the most successful living playwright that's account for something and yet at some level you know, he was haunted. by the fact that well, tennessee williams and totally different in a dramatic field. i mean williams spent the last 25 years of his life trying to recapture his muse and his his earlier success, you know. in his case. i mean he was very frank about it that booze and

simon writes for the stack and simon is at yale. right. explain. >> yeah, so, you know, joe biden won the 2020 election by 4.5%. traditionally, the president's party in midterms get 47.5% to 48% of the two-party vote and given to polling that polling average tends to decline as we get closer to election day. i think it seems reasonable to assume or predict that democrats are going to lose this national environment by 4.5% this time and that would represent a 9% swing to the right over these last two years. >> give me names. so, who, therefore, is jeopardy in the midterm who is currently a democratic senate incumbent? >> yeah, folks like raphael warnock, folks like mark kelly, maggie hassan, kathryn cortes massen in nevada also. those are the four who are most at risk. >> so with regard to 2024, years what you have written. you've written that every democratic senator in a state won by less than 2%. won by biden by less than 2% is likely to choose. and if you're right in this prognostication, jon tester in montana, shearry brown in o

simon: thanks for having me again. is the culmination of a broader attempt to reintegrate turkish relations with the wealthier goal states. we know that erdogan is someone who has had fractures relationships with the saudis and others, but he is conscious of the mounting pressures back home that are predominately economic, but they are manifesting in political unrest as well. so i think what he is trying to do is integrate turkey back with the wealthier goal states, such as the saudi and emirati's. mark: it is almost like saying that what happened to jamal khashoggi because for nothing. simon: sadly, yes, that is unfortunately one of the two resumes of realpolitik. these questions, human rights matter little have huge economic stakes. and while mr. erdogan championed the cause for justice for jamal khashoggi, that seems to have been sacrificed when the pressures mounting at home pushed him to go to saudi arabia . firstly, further case, the trial to the saudi's to administer their own justice themlves, and now to go to

simone, i want to start with you.question about this messaging is critical ahead of the midterms. how effective could president obama be in boosting the morale of democrats and focusing on that storytelling ahead of the midterms? >> president obama can be very effective, but i would also argue that president biden and vice president harris are also the best communicator is by clinton talked about. the agenda and what they have accomplished. president obama is a very popular former president, he's somebody that has been with president biden, lauding his accomplishments from the beginning of this administration. and he is a very important validator, but the president and vice president and members of congress, frankly, and governors who push for a number of pieces of legislation, have to go out there and talk about what they did. my advice for democrats in these midterm elections, talk about what you did, don't talk about what the republicans, blocked you from doing, we don't talk about what you can do because of this a

simon jones, bbc news.toughest sanctions on moscow. he was speaking in brussels, ahead of a meeting of nato foreign ministers, who have been discussing how best to arm ukraine against a renewed russian attack in the east. my agenda is very simple. it has only three items on it. it's weapons, weapons, and weapons. we are confident that the best way to help ukraine now is to provide it with all necessary to contain putin and to defeat the russian army in ukraine, in the territory of ukraine, so that the war does not spill over for them. in the recent months, in the recent weeks, the ukrainian army and the entire ukrainian nation has demonstrated that we know how to fight, we know how to win, but without sustainable and sufficient supplies of all weapons requested by ukraine, these wins will be accompanied with enormous sacrifices. ukraine's foreign minister, dmytro kuleba. let's get the latest now and go live to lviv, in western ukraine, and our correspondent emma vardy. the us says troops are withdrawing, wh

thank you, simon.de finding out just how it feels with that wind chill in a force six. well, sarah, i'm feeling every bit of that wind chill out here now because that wind is blowing at me right down from the arctic. and i can telljust how windy it is with this hand—held anemometer here. and if i hold it up, it's measuring a wind over 30 miles an hour. i've had a gust nearer 44 miles an hour. and this is a cup anemometer. in fact, it's the same technology as at that weather station at the old battery down there. the wind blows into the cup, spins it around on the spindle, and from that, you get just how windy it is. now, it's windier the higher up you go in the atmosphere, there's less friction to slow the air down — that is what the land surface does — so, actually, the uk's strongest wind gust was on cairngorms summit, of 173 miles an hour. a cup anemometer like this will probably get blown to pieces with a wind that strong, so you can have a sonic anemometer, which uses the speed of sound waves toju

the other golden lion for the best artist was won by another black artist, america's simone leigh.he venice art biennale has been transformed to the sound of five black female musicians. it's a hugely noisy, but hopefully joyously noisy experience. sonia boyce's work here, called feeling her way, is the latest stage in a wider project that tells the stories of black women singers and musicians. you are the first black female artist to ever represent britain. i wonder what you feel about that. um, i mean, of course it's an enormous accolade. but i also think, why has it taken so long? i mean, there are so many brilliant british female black artists out there. it should have happened before now. it's her time in the sun now. with a golden lion for the show, she's joined the likes of other famous british names, bridget riley and henry moore amongst them, to the very top biennale prize. boyce had this message. there's a longer arc of people that we need to keep saying, they're here. for more than a century, the world's most high profile art exhibition has centred around men. not this y

simon, what is possible now in investigating war crimes in ukraine? i mean, what can they do given that it is a live war situation? >> well, just here in the suburbs of kyiv, in the city of bucha, we have been hearing a lot about, just in the past week or so, the initial wave of horrors and horrific images from bucha that emerged. bodies scattered on the street. i am sure a lot of your viewers would have seen that. the investigation there is already starting. so, today there was an effort to exhumed a mass grave. and investigators are beginning the very long effort to gather evidence. and to identify victims. and identify how they were killed, and identify the circumstances in which they were killed. it is going to be a very long process. i am planning to go there in the next couple of days to see how that is unfolding. and to talk to some of the investigators. but president zelenskyy and his team have made it very clear that this is going to be a top priority for them. not only a priority to continue fighting the war, themselves, but to make sure tha

the ceo jonathan of simon and schuster would commit to publishing a broad range of use as they ended up committing to publish that but earlier in 21 they had canceled a man named josh holly, don't know if you've heard of him. and he was canceled by simon and schuster because he objected to certifying the ic 20/20 presidential election so he was for the same reason his political stance, that's why he was canceled by a publishing company so i wanted to hear from you guys. michael, have you had any difficulty with publishersnot wanting to publish yourbook because they didn't want to promote your message ? >> i did . when i looked springtime for snowflakes one of the things i examined was transgender ideology and i'm not talking about transgender here, i'm talking about the ideology and the cultural trend and agenda and so i analyzed what was going on with transgender ideology and i decided that it had to do itwith postmodernism which is athe school of philosophical thought so to speak if you can call it thought. basically suggests that reality is determined by language. so that reality
