a full scale invasion of russia's neighbour that was expected the last only a few days to marching out to meet supporters. vladimir putin celebrated an entirely predictable election went off to securing yet another time as russia's president he claimed the victory was due to the trust, and hope russians had placed in hammering his renewed cbm. yeah, for sure, but he is disabled. i'm looking at the 1st of all, i want to thank the citizens of russia. looks like we are all one team has done that. i see you called us citizens. that came to me, polling stations and voted you put a good list of what you showed us once again that you want to say. and this is very important. and then you look at the bottom one the, the source of authority in the nation, which is the russian people that i knew you dates. i see, you know,

voters had little choice. all those you could have meaningfully challenged putin or the jailed exiled or dead. rushes leading opposition, stig, alexei, novelle, ne, died suddenly last month in optic prison, breaking his silence of an invalid. these death boots in cold it, an unfortunate incident. the elections have been criticized as being neither a free nor fat by the us gemini and ukraine. sue mcdermott, what is the russian victor is stimulating another election with everyone in the world understands that this figure, yet as often happens in history or simply become a ticket to power and just doing everything you can to rule forever. there is no evil, he won't commit to prolong his personal power with somebody's blonde. the election when appears to been bolton pollutants plans for his war and ukraine. in his victory speech,

he vowed to strength and rushes military. one to 10 has now been in power since 1999. if he completes his next 6 years and he'll be rushed as long as subbing lead to in more than 200 years old. ever since russian authorities close down dw is bureau in moscow, our bureau chief, your shadow, has been reporting from reagan left the up. he told us more about reactions to the russian leaders re election. well, a terry appalled from the congratulations on putting victory ends at austin, state controlled media, many people in russia. i re exits as they have been reacting for almost 25 years now. natalie. not the tall, harsh with one react of something uh or to something that uh, what's to be expected from the beginning. putting himself held a press conference, you mentioned it. and as expected he spoke about does he consolidation of the

russian people? he said that all goals would be achieved. she didn't talk about the war, but it was clear to everybody that of what does the most important goal was putting street. i'm successful competitors also congratulate of him. as for the direction in the western countries, neither of us a nor the use bulk or of a fear and free election is there argument was event that there is no real a position in russia. jim and president stein maya will not congratulate teaching according to his spokesperson. so in his victory speech here, re, what kind of vision has preteen laid out for russia? well, i think put this vision offer i shall for russia, is it coming here is, is best explained by one example. i put in a p as in his election stuff, oil and things. i think he's election worker. so he said she think she's comrades in arms and explained with the meaning of the board comrade in arms or so that you

can russian. uh, is this work you said that is in the old russians work the right you can do this is in turn means a fighter, a single man from a village who volunteers to go to what did you find? he's found the launch which and said that the history is repeating itself and the old fashioned. i know so that i can make it or comrades in arms actually didn't explicitly talked about 4, but of course he meant what conclusion is put into the russia over the next few years, of course is not only but the bulk of the country. as for putting surprised many or a by actually mentioning in his press conference there the name of alexa in a bonnie, the opposition figure who recently died in prison. what do you make of that theory? well i think it's bizarre that it puts you, that never used the volume his name when he and i've only was a life. and now if it and i've only has died, he has mentioned his name several times and he said 2 important things. firstly is

that it's of all they have died, which was of course sad, but that's life. you said at that was put into indirect response to the accusations that and i've only had been killed. i've secondly put in said that's the voice path to exchange him for a prisoner from another country. and this statement by the criminal lead that caused absolute outrage among and of all these colleagues as they called it, the life. regardless of how you assess boots in sports, it was a signal to the rest of it. the russia wasn't ready for a nozzle present exchange. you know, thank you so much. that was the, the, use your shadow in real life. it a cell been 10 years since moscow illegally annex crime mia following an invasion without using troops without rushing insignia. it was the beginning of a decades long war with ukraine, culminating in the full scale invasion. 2 years ago. its position on the black sea makes crimea that strategically important asset dependent, so it serves as

a key base we're unable fleets and is used to safeguard security. interest in the region. crime is home to both ethnic russians and ukrainians as well as indigenous crime in tough, ours and others. for centuries the townhouse have been fighting to preserve their identity as crimea was invaded by various powers or next report follows tarzan exile who dream of returning to their homeland its ramadan and keys. many of those praying here are far from home, such as these my of course of the 33 year oldest daughter and ethnic group, native to crimea, yada new york. i was born an independent ukraine. i grew up in crimea in independent ukraine. i don't see crimea as different. i do not see it as part of some other state or a little while ago. so that is my list from you. after rush occupied the peninsula

and 24 to the senior join to you, create an armed forces and now performs and a military ensemble here singing a song in his native language and owed to premier going home even to visit has become impossible. which that has to go to till 2014 the people were free and cry me of that is if you crying didn't really help us . there at least it didn't interfere. and no one told us what holidays to celebrate . what days of remembrance we should celebrate or not, what language we should speak and who to vote for, who not to vote for our who to praise or not to praise our. nobody told us this will install them. yeah, godaddy o. powers have been living in crimea for hundreds of years. understanding they were persecuted and deported. the collapse of the soviet union allowed them to return.

that freedom didn't last since russia's occupation in 2014. but those are again being persecuted, making up the largest group of political prisoners. a round, 50000 towers are reported to have left crimea since 2014. while the premium government estimates more than 500000 russians were brought in. when russian president vladimir putin annex crimea, she promised the lives of ordinary people would improve. instead, sections of compact with the economy and democratic rights had been lost by cham, wasn't leashed, we see the destruction of culture and heritage, the impossibility of choosing one's native language and educational institutions, origin, public space. so therefore, these are very important things when we describe how people live and cry me on that i'd say that is it's the tetra tree of feel. but that's a better thought as to who example formula to shape

a says when putting invaded crimea. the world looked away, the occupation has seemed to have paved the way for the full scale invasion of 2025 terms. we have for all today liberating crimea seems like a daunting challenge. but for ukraine's government it's not up for debate. that's great news from best buy channel or best, no doubt that only liberation of absolutely all types of trees will bring us peace . this probably will ticket this phrase may oh 1st, there will be no peace until they can return home the last time that i believe in ella, and hope that everything is the same. with his permission, the crimea will still return to ukraine, and there will be safe access and passage for someone like me. last of via a chromebook. yeah. chrome you until the 1st few, a prolonged occupation could mean the end of their people. earlier i spoke with alexa usa paul say he's director of the rusher program at the felipe

like a but foundation thing. thank you. remember when i asked him what life is like in occupied crimea today? or the answer depends very much on who you ask slotskum to be a difference in crimea. i mean, what is true is that that has been a mass of interest, structural efforts by the russian government to transform crimea into a yet of hotels and tourism industry. but also to refurbish the industry that have been there and it has been a promise to the crime. he is that the standards of living will arise, the pensions will get higher and so on. some of these things happens, but at the same time there's a lot of repression going on the promise of a multi lingual peninsula with ukranian and tardy. and both still being taught in schools is not upheld. and there is a lot of redistribution of well, so if you are a businessman on premier,

chances are that your property is already or will be taken away because there was a major restructuring of power structures on the peninsula after the annexation. so it depends very much on who you ask. now, the blood improved team has extended his rule yet again, the election gives the impression, at least that the russian people overwhelmingly support his policy is. what should we expect from booting now that he has secured another term? and i think the most important piece of learning about this election is the very 5 turn out. and we know that the presidential administration in moscow was very focused on securing a high turnout because it signals a momentum of national unity around. so that's important. and it seems as if this was important to actually start a new chapter of his rule of his government. i mean, now it's, you can stay in power for at least 6 more years. and obviously she is set to do something with this time. the campaign itself was buried. domestic comes economic

policy oriented, but it's clear and to satisfy himself, the special minutes restoration. so the war on your brain will remain the priority, so we'll probably see a continuance and escalated effort to subjugate ukraine on the front. just putting face any real threats to his power at this point or does he has have every reason to feel emboldened after the selection slow? yes. and no. the regime is perfectly capable of keeping the thing some control on the what on the one side, on the other side, all the things that have happened in russia domestically worth of prices. if you're thinking about them, you to new york, if you need to go to them, if you're thinking about the very unexpected success of the only anti war candidate, but he's not asking your think about the lines of people who came to on a and explain the volume, if you're thinking about this action that you would just report to the on mid

yesterday at noon. so things are happening outside with a grasp of crimson. it crammed them gifts and becomes more and more about the project, but the blues as also the capacity to forecast. so on the one hand, in terms of brutal power, the kremlin is on the sides of its development as an improper seen. on the other hand, i don't think they have a lot of capacity to know what's coming to look tomorrow or the day after tomorrow . now, the west is deeply concerned about flooding may appear. things is expansionist policy. is how effective would you say western efforts are to contain putting some missions? i think so far, we've been in the west and governments have acted quite reactively and tactically, made its time to understand that we need a strategy, or maybe is 7 to 10 years. this will be the time frame in which most cove itself will be planning the next steps. so it is about containment, but it's also about ramping up its own credibility. the west own credibility about

being serious in terms of support for ukraine in terms of rearmament. but also in terms of follow through an economic sanctions and other instruments, it's time for us to have as you know, like say thank you very much for your insights. that was alexa, use a pop from the sleep like a but foundation say look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. most of brazil has been put under high alert due to a heat way. it's nearly the end of the summer season, but in rio de janeiro, temperatures are as high as 40 degrees celsius meteorologist. se feels even hotter than that because of high humidity in turkey, a container ship mill smith calculated a docking maneuver and crashed into dock side cranes. sending them toppling down onto the ship and stacks of containers. the incident took place in a port around a 100 kilometers east of his double local media report that no one was injured.

israel's army is carrying out another operation in garza's largest hospital, el cheapo hosted in health authorities say several people been killed in parts of the complex or on fire. israel claims from us militants are using the hospital as a command center. i'll. she is one of the last remaining health facilities in the strip. and it's really raid there in november costs international condemnation, guidance of salt shelter from the war in the hospital complex after the from us lead october 7th terrorist attacks a short while ago, i spoke to the w correspondent, tanya kramer, in jerusalem. i asked her about the ongoing military operation at all she for hospital as well. this operation started in the early morning and it was kind of unusually said, we got a lot of statements over the course of this ongoing operation. these were in the army said it's

a precise operation. and they said they had intelligence that senior hum us so called a terrorist. where inside the hospital complex also that they returned fire when troops where shots do understand you from some reports that they have taken control of the parts of the complex and that many rest. also where being made now a from published in your reports, we understand that there are casualties and injuries around and in the context of a, also some video footage coming out of people in the middle of the night being out in the streets, trying to, to get away now what was on using these updates we were getting was that there's an emphasis as well on saying that the to upset ordered ahead of this operation to cautiously and to avoid harm to patients and to medical stuff. and, you know, to people showing there, there are several hundreds estimated people are searching in the complex. and of course it's always a highly sensitive operation in on hospital crowns as hospitals such

facilities are protected under the international. and it's very closely watched of what is happening there. steve w correspond to tony kramer. they're reporting from jerusalem. now taiwan is marking the 10th anniversary of the start of the sunflower protest movement. a decade ago, hundreds of students occupied parliament, well thousands more joined demonstrations on the streets. protesters help stop a plan. trade pack with china that they said could leave taiwan vulnerable to coercion by beijing. did other use, james tracer spoke with participants about how the movement shaped the taiwan of today a decade ago. hundreds of students storming, ty, one's legislature, the occupation of the building. last in more than 3 weeks through sanctions they express and the plans of trade pads for training. 1 needed including dismantling fe

fun said it was passed without cross party screws and could leave type a vulnerable to economic pressure from china, which claim solvency over time. want it was name to sometime these minutes of to deflower became the symbol of the students. goals for greater transparency targeted was eventually scratch, revisiting the logistics of building for the 1st time since the occupation lynn face on tells us the movement was the turning point in time. once political history thing originated at the how was the relations with china? i see what you mean if you decide it's by a small group of political leads with itself, i'll move on trick out the symbolize that, that one is useful. have the desire to decide our relationship with china by our self employment. at the time we can see that's why when these policy, which then a no favors close to economics, why is that the trying to see this? it's every presidential election since they've lost to the now in swinson 19

enjoying the d. p. p which has tried to rims high ones economy all pages and fluids because over the summer. so old integration, sage, and has been stopped by the towing these people. so that's quite the pivotal, far as the for insurance itself our, our, our relations with a room. then though the world was launch, the looking elsewhere, mostly a deadly protest happening at the same time. and you crank the protest has faced a similar set of questions move closer to direct or tearing neighbor, which on set own democratic feature. indeed, russians antics ation of crimea, triggered by the process and ukraine was formalized on march. the 18th 2014, the exact same process as inside pay. stuart the legislation in taiwan the sometime these men smoke the emotions of a new political generation legion. i was just 9 years old when she, with her parents joined hundreds of thousands on this type, the streets in support of the students. now what university herself,

she says with some families, minutes continues to shape you of tie wants future door and says about us on the top. so people will think on our road, what power do we have? even if there's 100 people, what power do we have? if the government wants to do something they can do us? that's why it was such a moving moment. it showed if we work together, we can change our society. or if it showed taiwan belongs to us a majority of time when he's going to answer this question, which one, despite staging, ramping up military pressure. and so i pay in recent years. and so many he, the important se attached to taiwan is autonomy. even in the face of such threats was seated in the sun from movement 10 years ago. then joined now by making show ho, he's a professor in the department of associate ology at national taiwan university. and you also have a recent book on protest movements in hong kong and taiwan. thanks for being with

us. the sunflower movement has been around for a decade. where does the movement stand today? as i say it has as thank you for having me here. i think he has a, have a nice thing legacy, because he showed a policy what the discretion of taiwan is, identity, and ways that ready go up, see what these obedience. and these do julian popular support and last time. that's how one of these really skeptical about ready to go consequences of being absorbed . b one china calling on e as in the e, b p to currently government. their boss has title continue that they can see that we want to pursue more outcomes. economic strategy by reducing their reliance on china. so in the report we just saw there, we heard the leader of the sunflower movement saying that the movement broke with traditions of elite determining timelines direction. how significant is that?

i guess about 10 years ago, i think the word, the just the one what i, you know, chinese opportunity because it was growing very fast. but people began to realize that it can. i mean, i don't think it's not easy to get that's right of reading. but the question will be perceived as the benefit of the corporate and expenses of average people or small small medium enterprises. so if there's a cover we shouldn't be getting caught or t impulse or not mean back to the cross. i want you to be growing up so, but you to try not to economy and people spoke. so that sounds wrong. and then on occasions on both side realize the people in taiwan are really not happy as a way to tease what impact would you say that the sunflower movement has

had on tie once political establishment, and is it still having an impact today? i know i've seen one of the what it says of the man of the some from most of the stuff i wouldn't need to put tech to safeguard is how long democracy advice say no to can. i mean ation. i think they have been 3 national elections to start to use a process. i think the vacancies, there's the tie. one is going to push through the more independent strategies. and i think that's the most important demonstration of how long we should really cherish. now the democracy, china has stepped up efforts to influence public opinion on the island and recent years. it's rhetoric has become much more strident. has the sunflower movement done anything to really limit that influence?

well, i think maybe what i skimmed too much for every single disobedience, but it's more important the 30 to go. we'll demonstrate the use of the in the demonstration. all cannot be trusted. i digital policy and we'll know that china as being a more closer to a chuck to tie one. and i've seen that one of the, there's a task that we're going to address and people in taiwan, you that and then make the choice with democratic your last time. and i think that that's pretty much info and that we have a choice because we are a democracy for us. so thank you very much for speaking with us. i was making show from the national taiwan university. thank you. and then you're watching dw, and there's just a reminder of our top story this, our russians are set for another 6 years of vladimir putin rule following an election without any meaningful composition in his victory speech. putting said he
