the, the, this is the, the news coming to live from berlin, by the way of putting orders, a shakeup of rushes, military leadership. he dismisses longstanding allies surrogate is showing you as defense minister and replaces him with an economist with little mental terry experience. this comes as a new russian ground defensive in northeastern ukraine forces thousands to flee their homes in the front. keep reaching. crane admits russia has made tactical gains, but says it's reinforcements are mounting a successful counter attack. also coming up is really tanks re entered parts of northern gods. so the military says amongst militants or regrouping their hundreds

of thousands or on also on the move in southern gaza is, is real issues news the back you ation porters, the little i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin has replaced defense ministers saturday showing go. it's the 1st shakeup of his national security team. since the invasion of ukraine showing his replacement is andre bell, it was saw, an economist, and former deputy prime minister, showing good over solve russia's invasion of ukraine will now take a seat at the national security council. even though it says showing use future things up in the air, that's blocking. that person was inaugurated for his latest term and offers usable

. what is there a bit on sunday the kremlin confirmed the sugar would be moved from his post showing you is a long time l. i have president. he was appointed to the position of defense minister in 2012 and he has close personal ties to person is very publicly taking the president on multiple hunting trips to his homeland in southern siberia . the little words good reason to show you has become deeply unpopular in russia, where he's seen by many as being largely responsible for the early stages of russia's invasion of ukraine. and roommates were rife that his removal was coming on sunday, putting a pointed show your head of russian security council to replace nikolai passengers have it's been seen that the motion for the show. it goes to committee and it's unclear what type of ships and you roll will be both menu, a key figures and rushes war and ukraine. and the re shuffle took some waste in

military observe as by surprise he clearly page and has recently been being overrated. but his latest time and the president say, and he would have expected at that point, maybe some changes in the leadership. but not these 2 are not together then then showing his successor as defense minister is under the but i also of a former prime minister and economist. what kind of most of it's a civilian with little military experience. ok. the kremlin says bell. it was of got the job because person wants to ministry to be open to innovation. it is important to incorporate the economy of the security block into the country's economy to incorporate it in a way that matches the dynamics of the current moment. it's also important to mention that today those who are more open to innovation and implement the innovation the quickest when on the battlefield

with bill it was. so it's not a nation person is most likely looking to bring military funding in step with the russian economy. similar to the soviet union of the 1980s that let's bring in our corresponding economy here. he's in, keep, nick, is this change of defense minister in moscow are likely to have any effect on the war. new crane i think the same from key of any kind of change, any lack of consistency, any kind of internal power struggles in moscow. very welcome. it doesn't seem though, the pump from the defense industry, we're going to see a very different russian government. most most, the ministers have kept depositions, and as we had there in their full, joseph is a technocrat, someone who has shown that he can help the rest of the state organize its kind of military industrial complex. and showing himself was not seen as someone who was taking good distress. the who was that small concerned with his own p. o. then we'd actually improve things with the slides on the ground. so i think it's fairly

neutral, seen from cuba, but certainly any kind of sign of internal rivalries we've had showing who is deputy in prison on corruption charges now about facing trial. so anything that kind of suggests those kind of moscow pile bottles that could distract from partners for harris. certainly very welcome. next, stay with us. while we turn our attention to russia's ground defensive in northeastern ukraine near keith of thousands, they have been forced to flee. russia says it's captured several villages keep a sending and reinforcements. let's take a look. a 100. so for residents of the part of the area, the for the a ton a mazda vacation is under the new clean khaki region. after the russian forces launched a set price offensive on the north eastern front, orange ocean. it was horrible. we faced terrible showing. everything was exploding, we didn't understand what was going on. why did you create an invalid? 3 sees feel better. let's continue. but bosco already claims to have taken control

of several villages in the border region. a lot of support for the situation is extremely difficult because the enemy has been conducting mess, shelling of the town, who most over the world terrorizing the civilian population from a so are destroying the town of just before we are delayed. and so they will, they use all temporary and multiple loans rocket system for when the day was 30 strikes, just in the last day 15, there's a lot of destruction or to the heart of the presidents agency has also responded to the threat, paused by unless she has new offensive and announced the deployment all free enforcements to the emerging new friend. so the not sure what else is must achieve maximum and results to destroy the enemy everywhere. today, with reports from a commander in chief, alexander c, a c l, a former, we are strengthening all positions,

especially in the region by deploying additional forces. the artillery is operating exactly as planned on the budget, but the as you clean boots are mod military, it permits allies to showed up its defensive efforts, traction forces. i'm hoping to take advantage to make gains in the region. what is russia hoping to achieve with this offensive in hockey? well, everyone here is guessing their different versions during the around some people see this is an attempt to create to buffers and we've had a lot of tools that for most got to try and prevent ukrainian outs every strikes on a russian positions. on the other side of the border, others took off a diverse re tax gimme so definitely let's give it reinforcements having to be sent to this region. now those are reinforcements that could be used in the east where the most intense 5 things going on in the hit screens and. and then there is the kind of 3rd and most incoming stream option, which would be renewed,

russian attempt on how to give the city and credit 2nd biggest city, which is still very clearly a russian talk at least majority they. we spoke about it as being a russian city. i think for now this and the on the enough for us and troops will well supply it enough to seriously attack kind of give. but this is the direction that we saw coming. we had lots of ukrainian intelligence officials talking about the fact that some of this would happen. luckily at the end of may, early june, we had the russian state tv full of pretty public goes talk about flattening side give and you know, we starting efforts to across the board in other places. so this is something that was expected. and now most people you create a kind of asking themselves why this is be possible, why the russians have crossed. uh, you know, in the way they have why there wasn't more in the way of resistance early on why the government didn't communicating with them. okay? so this was expected in ukraine, but it's still a set back how or ukrainians, reacting to this news of russia's advance. nick, how's that affecting morale?

well, certainly there were lots of very critical social media posts, especially people asking where the defense is. where with the mind feels, why was it possible for seeming easy drug footage of russian soldiers will get cross on foot? you had the response from the government, people close to government saying that these villages on the russian border where essentially in the grey zone that they were basically on the new ones controls for the past 2 years. and the building defense is that was just no, let's take the, the actual defenses projecting. so i get off for the back from the boat out of that 1513, almost away from the board as a but the russians haven't reached them yet. that hasn't leaking. it's those people who say you could have at least build a minefield. it was an issue of the points that was made by movie channel, especially the super study of warranty. us thing that's part of the reason that it's so easy for us to volunteer is because of that weston ban on using west and the weapons, the gates russian territory. is it for us? it tries to go in defense of into the region near within 2034 to columbus. is that going to be hit with high most strikes of the west, the weapons preventing those russian logistics squares. here the russians could

basically, in relative peace, prepare all their troops, prepare the fuel pad, that homes and vehicles just behind the boat, and then cross with a very little logistical distance between them and the battlefield. i know they have to expect kind of ukrainian drones and maybe some soviet 0 to the way the ukraine still has that thing that's gonna be a real renewed push now in the ukraine sides to aust, questing countries to give them the permission to use those weapons again, dressing, turkey pump, where we had that co statement from david cameron, the u. k. foreign secretary saying that the u. k. government would accept to ukraine using the weapons it has provided against russia rather than russian by ukraine. so i think we could see some, some of these different pressure of the crating side in the hope that things might change to allow your brain to deal with this strength from just beyond the rest of the nick. thank you so much. our correspondent nick connelly. there in keith let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. the death toll from flash floods in afghanistan has exceeded 300 people. thousands more have been

displaced in the northern bygone province, which has been hit by torrential rains. tell about officials ruling the country of appealed for international support for those affected by the disaster. butters in india and controlled kashmir or casting. their ballot says the 4th phase of india is parliamentary elections begins loading in cash mirrors being held for the 1st time after prime minister and a brand new remote. these government stripped the muslim majority of region of its autonomy and brought it under direct police in the george and capital to big. so you have moved in on pro testers who spent the night in front of parliament. they had been protesting against the draft law. they believe would push the country closer to russia. well, makers are due to debate the so called for an agents bill in a 3rd and final reading. today. you are a secretary of state entity blinking says israel strategy and gaza has led to

a horrible loss of life for civilians and has failed to neutralize homeless militants. his comments come as these really military expands. its attacks in the southern and northern gaza is rarely tanks of re entered parts of the north. the military says, have mass militants who launch the october 7th air attacks or regrouping in the area. this is riley tanks, heading back into northern garza, these rainy military had declared victory over from us here months ago. now it says it's going back to stop the minutes in group reestablishing control kind of citizens living here and the jabante, a refugee camp, just north of gauze. the city i've been told to evacuate with the area still devastated from the early is ready operations. and you asked strikes raining down, residence a hurry to get out. but many of those rushing to sleep

with everything they could take with them said that there was no west safe left for them to go on. and last we left the camp, but we don't know where to go. we don't know where to head. we don't have food or drink or clothes. i want to know that we have to move every day. we move more often than we stay put up every day. we're in a different area in the north, in the south, in the east. we don't know where to go. all the sudden, most city rafa was long, considered the safest place left in this trip. but he's ready for us as a now trying to reach out a mass fight is here to hundreds and thousands of people have already left the city according to these really all me. while more a still trying to leave many of those displaced by the fighting in rafa. i'm headed north to central guns. the and this woman

said she'd follow these really evacuation. notice that now she couldn't find even basic supplies for children. type of fish, listen, there's no safe place. the situation is very hot. that's no from the from like no dream to even the water is how to get my children try and tell me on that mother we want to drink and i don't know what to do next, but i'm like everyone else who left it all 5 and came here and we had just placed you the best know safe place. so my friend and we'd palestinians desperately searching for safety. washington has again called on israel, not to launch a full scale round defensive in rafa. israel's, on the directory potentially to inherit an insurgency with many arms from us left or if it leaves a vacuum filled by chaos, still by energy and probably refilled by. am us the with israel, increasing its attacks throughout the gaza strip tools for restraint, even from its closest ally seem to be falling on deaf ears.
