situation in the gaza strip. the weather situation is unbearable for people. the is really only a, had ordered a people in the east of golf, of a to buckhead already on monday. and we understand that many thousands of people are on the move. also, those were not in these areas because as fear that this would, you know, this operation would have widened to other parts of golf us, what has happened goes into noise, you see heavy airplane, boardman, and then tanks and moving india hearing from 8 agencies that already you know, fuel is not coming in as kind of as close as also the question mark about what's happening. it's kim, she's on the other crossing or with isabel that has been closed of to move to a talk on sunday that had been reopened officially, but 8 agencies saying nothing is coming in. so for people that it's a very, very desperate situation. turning now to some other news in russia, president vladimir putin has been presiding over

a victory day for 82 days after his inauguration for a 5th term. as president fulton has turned the celebration of victory over nazi germany into a key focus of his nearly 25 year rule. he's often in vote for world war 2 to justify his invasion of ukraine and addressing the proud in moscow. and said he would not allow anyone to threaten russia. i said we did, russia will do everything to prevent global confrontation. but at the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us right now. our strategic forces are always on a lot where you, where you've got to go into let's get across to our correspondent funding for charge running us now from rica hi funding. can you tell us more about what put in emphasize in his speech there. so basic and make clear that the world should have no doubt about the fact that he's the one in charge to protect russians against this alleged fret by the west. so therefore, making

a link between history and for over to the current events, the ongoing war in ukraine. and so basically, if you didn't want to hear anything new, then what we've heard already, i suggest, at the beginning of the week doing is from the gratian speech. and that is that quote, beside the future of the motherland. that's because it depends on russia and by motherland. he referred to what he said on tuesday, and he's integration speech referred to what you called at the historic class. we never points. oh, he never says ukraine, but he's pointing basically towards ukraine, a silver and country that in his view and he's narrative and political, a vision should belong to russia and, and paints this as a form of a defense against what she calls. western alleged best and aggression, so nothing you on that from what i point actually quite interesting that we didn't hear anything on just how on a voice from here, how does she want to achieve this goal to unite russians in his view? is it going to mobilize more russians and also just how long this was going to

continue? what would they, what 7 or, or around this speech was actually meant to, of the, justify the ongoing war. but also to enforce this narrative of this propaganda. so people, basically the sons, the husbands of, of, of, of mothers that have to send, they, are, they, are, they are children or their husbands or their brothers toward that they know, at least in the reference of, of flooding with fulton why they have to do a little funny, that was a little bit about how this compares to last year. now this is victory day parade. obviously an annual event. and yet last year we, we saw it coming. i made a big loss. as for russia on the battlefield, this year, what is the situation look like? to all the picture is when you look at the numbers and plates, it's about 18 percent of land that's being controlled by russian ukraine. so that number didn't really change. however, there were some symbolic, a moments for russian forces when they took in earlier this year of this guy in the don't you screeching in it, they're also very, very close on closing in on

a different town in the don't you a screenshot and that is a cha, cpr, which is of strategic important because if they take and show us if you are, they could possibly attack from their other cities. so if you zoom in on certain locations, yes, they've been some moments of victory for, for, for a russian forces. but on the over or level, the isn't a huge a huge a gain compared to last year, however, doesn't have to be on. this has to be on the line ross, you so much more on the offensive compared to ukraine, that is more of the defense, which is a to be explained with the very fact that it was on many levels or on the front line. ukraine is suffering a lack of military equipment and was simply off manpower. now whether that's going to change with the arrival of new weapons and, and, and more help and aid from the west is, is to be seen. and also the question just how a politically but also strategically russia is going to then adopt to ukraine

receiving that year and receiving more um, military equipment in the future. we do not know just like we do not know how long this battle is going to go on. thank you so much for that funny. that is due to these correspondent, funny for char chinese president, she's in pain, has arrived in hungary the final stop on his 1st and european tour in 5 years. he was welcomed by prime minister of victor, oregon. the 2 leaders are expected to discuss an increase in economic cooperation between their 2 countries. the strategy of shoes and things visit to your up is to drive a wedge between the consonants and the united states. investing heavily in hungary, in serbia, both local european critics would ties to rush is not a mere brewton, is a key part of the plan. china faces accusations that it's flooding the european market was it's electric vehicles. hungry is authoritarian president, victor or bon shrugs off the critics. he sees the partnership with china is pivotal

to be coming, your hot bed for electric cars and the batteries, the power them. government officials said recently that over 15000000000 euros worth of chinese investments are underway and hungry mainly in the form of new battery plant constructions. meanwhile, serbia's direct foreign investments in china amounted to about 5000000000 euros hungry is the 1st member to join china, is belton road developing program and seen by many in europe, in china, like as beijing's gateway to the european continent on the streets of budapest. there's broad support for chinese investment, although some are anxious about the form that funding is taking, such as the environmental costs. and you're saying that that's something that we will not be able to learn the best practices in environmental protection from the unfortunate people. for the moment i do not think it matters very much

here. so probably the financial benefits come before environmental protection to any of the 3 of them has we being reduced to the level of an assembly line and they bringing the garbage to us. by the way, i have no problem whatsoever with the chinese, and that's all i can say. if we could put out resources and education, if we could really to meet with china, not just at this level, that would be good to know. this is not having them european lawmakers complained that victor, oregon is undermining the you. his classes with the block of a root of law and his visa evade for ukraine have led to the freezing of billions in e u. funding. china has been more than willing to fill in the gaps in hungary, but just now did george mend end up in the champions league final because of a dog, the referee decision. we're going to unpack the matching drama with our sports correspondent, max maryland, coming up later and show the 1st. let's take

and kill livestock. although some animals appear to have had a lucky escape. more than 160000 people have been forced from the homes by the flooding with many seeking higher ground to cease out can enter your i took shelter here because i don't think that was i will ever get this high. thank you again. well, on the rest of the work is that bringing us food and there are doctors treating people who are sick, somebody by the way. you see any man from too much water to knows enough shortages of basic supplies are also causing problems along with a growing risk of disease in flooded areas. adding to the patient is more full. cast rain with fee is flood, waters could rise again before they start to receipt.

south korea's population is forecast to shrink by half by the end of the century. here in germany, a series of assaults is fueling fears about the security of politicians and activists. several politicians campaigning ahead of european elections have been attacked in recent days and want to salt in the eastern city of grass and was caught on camera by a dw team. steve, i got on the some of the new campaign event, tens, ugly green politicians, thats upon by to bystanders. threatening our commer team on the queens number a is that most spinster. we've joined yvonne most. she was running for local office in the east and her party, the greens have become a point target of political violence and recent months. and this is kind of this, but i think it's especially important in this district where you have

a lot of non voters to maybe motivate them again to vote until at least show your face. and to say we're here, in fact, isn't the as the to move to another area of the nude became tense, a group nearby sounded a bond to nazi slogan, to the phone with a party. then this happened until 9 with us robin was supposed to be you know, you're breaking the law. why are you doing this? one most lot documented evidence. another group started happening. her and her team had of files the so i just did was to retrieve the one back out to see

i go mail, you see that the arguments are not founded, but it's something they've picked up somewhere else. additional board and s as all, i'm just honestly, i haven't had this one before. actually it's a new one for me. but yeah, we'll keep on fighting of it comes to right to. busy but that has got solved before that confronted the need. that picture right now, we're all the camera off the old. can someone call the police like you to need that photo you bloody green a. is that much? they are you crazy as the parent imitate? the group on demand that they delete the pictures. witnesses try to reach the police the most, most of them i'll do my phone to now as well. so 1st of all, it took a long time before we got through to them. john holmes with this and then they didn't take the master seriously. and then they said that they will take 5 to 10

minutes, even though they were told that threats were made against the group. and just so, you know, the police station is a 3 minute walk away from him as it up in the ships. i'm extremely personally disappointed and i think this is something we will have to talk about. at least offices eventually arrived. official say they're investigating the suspect for fault vandalism. i'm still using unconstitutional slogans. the. the olympic flame is now in france 481-2000 kilometers journey to the 2024 paris games. 150000 spectators watched it sail into mar, say on a 19th century ship from greece, french, president monro, my home was on hands to welcome it and for joy with the cauldron. for the next 2 and a half months at 10000 people will take turns carrying the torch and a mirror thrown really across france and its overseas territories

and rail madrid will face more riskier department. and the champions league final, after a dramatically went over by or munich fire and scored. first thanks to a support strike from all funds are j fees. but with just 2 minutes left, substitute jose lou equalize before grabbing the winter in stoppage time with buyer and claiming that it was offside. the unit club thought they had levels, but another debatable offside call ended the dream of an all german final in the most watched annual sporting event in the world. or or with maxim merrill from the w sports. here with me in the studio to discuss what has been a drum, had a few days and european football. hi max. so what's that out for you in that match between rachel and buyer? well, the story lines absolutely swung back and forth for a long, long time round the dominating the nightstand by and got that gold against the run of play and model noise that goalkeeper absolutely kept the minutes at almost 40 years old. japanese number one was stupendous. until the really figures literally

dropped the bolt into costs in those pos who had come on as a substitute. the score twice. and then it became his fed retail store. he left around 100 at age 22. having failed to break into the team from the youth team setup bounced around the buddhist again. gemini, england, spain always was sort of mid table a low, a sides, and even go relegated in spain last season. now spend a romage. it had a bit of a, a mix up in the recruitment in the summer. couldn't get the striking they wanted, and then broad costs a new in on loan at age. 33, he comes back to this club, makes us champions. think that even makes it spain national team debut and now has how obviously had the biggest moment of his career bringing ramage it into the final and by and almost ruined that fairytale, the with that late goal you mentioned, which was cold for upside. now the rule out, since we had been a video assistant referees has you lift the flag for of sites, you don't blow the whistle until the passage of play is going because then you can see maybe it wasn't on the side or so. now,

the referee didn't blow the whistle and we can hear what to allow us to hold by ins . coach had to say about that to have the boss to have the guts, to raise the flag in a situation like this is a huge, huge, huge call. and it's a room called the rest are you has the chance when he sees that we've been the 2nd ball and we've been the rebound and we get a shot that way within 5 seconds. he has the chance not to be. so he takes the decision to whistle. it is against every root, i'm sorry, we accept, we lost it. it is what it is, but just so that would not have happened on the other side. so the prospect of an all german final is over, but i don't think many would have necessarily predicted endorsement in the final and not in byron right. very much so they've under those oldest term can succeed. and indeed they've had a disaster season in the bundle they go. they last last season's title on the final

not state was all in their hands and they gave it away. and they have about to finish probably 5th in the bundle because he's never even calls the passage the goal of the coach to be sacked in the champions. he gets a different story. they've been a real unit. they've beaten pasting the semi finals before that i'd like to come a dread they last early holland 2 seasons ago. arguably the world's best striker last season. they sold jude binding them to around the grid to they'll now face in the champions league final. and no one expected them to be that i don't think even themselves, they don't get revenge. but the 2013 final, which was also in london against by munich. but they come face to face with their fullness style that jude bothering him, and rel madrid, and acting very quickly before i let you go. is there any chance for more german success tonight? of course, in the europe or the semi final by live? because need to know up there and being all season, they will beat the record set by then feca. if they fail, avoid the fee today. 49 games on being all season. they could make it to the final and could even when a travel, which is amazing as the cold,

never cruising for failing so much max, thank you so much for that. that is dw sports is maxim merrill to and that is our news show for now. say, tune after a short break, focus on europe is coming up with a look at the plight of fractions opposition activists in exile. thank you so much for watching the
