advancing deeper into the course of the region near russia's south western border. ukraine's presidential office blamed mos scale for the escalation, but without taking direct responsibility for the most serious attack on russian territory in months. officials and course say around a $3000.00 civilians have been evacuate. we've got team coverage of what's going on. i'm joined now by our correspondence be connelly and keith, and nina. so many of the in reagan, she's reporting from last via the home of dw is most scale team dw is most scale office was shut down by russia about 2 years ago. geneva, let me start with you. what are you hearing from russia regarding the situation in courts, or when we hear that ukraine's a troop have advanced into russian territory? experts now say that they have advanced a 10 kilometers into the course of regions. so russian territory,
6:03 pm
and they've used the things like a satellite images to really con, confirm that, but still a lot of the information is unclear, of russia says, is, has halted ukraine's advance. but we do see, continue to see reports on social media of local residents posting images of destroyed houses, for example, or also people fleeing in their cars and coming under fire on the way. and also regional authorities have issued several error alerts throughout the day since this morning. at least 8 have been reported. 8 err alerts. but of course it's also really difficult to find out more information from on the ground since there are no independent journalist reporting there. and most of the information we are getting is pretty much, as i said, from social media or also russian state authorities. let me um, go to you. ukraine was noticeably silent on this yesterday. what are you hearing
6:04 pm
from you creating officials today? a print. it's basically silence. we had a kind of a very kind of in direct reference from present the landscapes day who said that ukraine's only was able to surprise you the world and its opponents button. nothing more than that. i think they have gone to you from last year is pretty much failed somewhere offensive where there was a lot of talk a little verifications and then less in the way of results on the ground. and i think they are also very close to the fact that this offensive interest in directory could be unpopular amongst ukraine. sports in the west. as they're trying to basically keep heads down and say as little as possible and let the fact speak for themselves. this is obviously a potentially quite risky taking this much the way of results is into ukraine hands of time. whether it's, you know, having real trouble in the east holding the front lines. but sydney, they think this worth the risk it at this risk is, is worth it and they seem to have really taken the russian come on by surprise geneva, let's talk about the optics of this for the kremlin, the kremlin,
6:05 pm
insisting that the war in ukraine is going according to plan, talk to me about the political implications for brushing me to help in the kremlin . explain this to it's public. oh yeah, i think what nick just mentioned is caught by surprise is, is definitely true. a rush. i pretty much seem to be caught by surprise. it took, which meant pushing a date to react to the events that we've been seeing happening unfolding since tuesday. and um, yeah, i mean, since then he's really shown an effort to show that the situation is under control . just this afternoon's recruiting, spoke to the acting regional governor and said it was an unconventional, difficult situation that we've been seeing here and here. so this is pretty much, yeah, sounds like a bit of down playing the situation that is happening in the course region right now. nick, we know that you cranes,
6:06 pm
troops are already overstretched. they been retreating at the east of the country. how can they afford to open a new front in this world? look, i think we are unable for now to do the kind of military mass. we don't quite know how many results have been employed here. it does seem like more than new western systems are being used, including home and vehicles, those of c in short supply across the front line. but i think there's a kind of growing understanding here in key of that. they have to get away from that kind of conventional meat grinder, the kind of artillery will, because russia is always going to be in russia with its severe results is manpower is always going to have more to throw it in his front lines than ukraine doesn't school for the west has to look for the kind of more nimble, more unexpected ways of doing things through the chessboard of the table. i hope that you can be stabilized russia. there's also a growing sense here that listening to the us in particular and it's kind of the pretty conservative approach in the bite. and mistress, the constant fear of escalation, the fear of crossing worth, the red lines that is only going to draw this war out. and so can i help you kind
6:07 pm
when back in surgery? so i think they've decided to go into this risk and that seems to be paying off the kindly in keep and need to some, you know, but in re good to both of you. thank you. i want to go back now the, our top story and that is the story of my how many units being sworn in as think of the dishes, new prime minister i'm joined now by is i'm is long. she's a journalist with the daily star newspaper in dock and it's good to have you with this. just talk to me about, you know, seeing that seeing mohammed eunice sworn in his bangladesh, his interim leader, what does this mean to the people of bangladesh? that's both of the people of bangladesh. it's definitely a new hold for a new political landscape, but also for rome of units itself. himself. this is a bit of a, i think it's comic justice in a way because of the former prime minister had really, really persecuted
6:08 pm
a number of units. there was a barrier and she faced a beverage of cases which have very little legal standing and, and the celebrated nobel laureate, was truly in many ways you mediated in our country all over the past couple of years. he was harassed tradition. the a particular uh owner is its really something is needing something. mm hm. and now with units as the leader of this interim government, do you think that will be enough to just bring it into the violence that we've seen? yes, we were essentially a country without a car from them for the last few days. and i think we really saw 1st hand what can see like that didn't look like because there were no pops on the street. the police stations have been a hundreds of police station had been set on fire and the citizens took it into
6:09 pm
their own hands to get on the streets and, and start doing things that the government start providing services. but the argument usually does, which means controlling traffic, cleaning up trash, guarding the streets at night. and uh it to, i mean, while it was all very inspiring to see citizens coming up and, and, you know, doing their civic do changes. it still did not, did really do a lot in terms of bringing down the kinds of violent stewards minorities that we had seen the he knew community or our, our while and stuart's cultural sculptures, cultural artifacts. and. and we hope that having this new government, which isn't government, i want to put for put it out there that this government is very human rights focused. all of the people who have been sworn in today. they're not just professionals in their own fields, but they're also people who had been strong human rights advocates doing a tie when talking about human rights was stamped among to being and die. state is
6:10 pm
i'm is on with the daily star newspaper in dock of bring us up to date on the events. yes. historic events taking place right now in bangladesh. so i'm gonna thank or or here's a quick look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. a bunch slide has killed 9 people in india and several others in china is which one province. the slide, triggered by heavy rains, destroyed dozens of homes rescue workers are searching for survivors and clearing roads. fresh demonstrations are taking place in the canyon capital nairobi against president william router, lease fired tear gas, and people gathering for a rally. weeks of anti government, pro chairs have been driven by anger over the cost of living. prosecutors in russia have requested a 15 year prison sentence for a joint russian us citizen, charged with treason for making a donation to a pro ukraine organization in the us. because any, a power lead to a ballet dancer who lives in los angeles was arrested by russian security agents,
6:11 pm
while visiting family in russian officials in austria say that they prevented in islam. is terror attack by canceling 3 taylor swift concerts in vienna. to man have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism. investigators described them as radical lives as long as you were planning. major incident. i want to go now to vienna. speak with francisco shaw, and she's a reporter for a pulse $24.00. it's good to have you with this. so it turns out that this was way more than just a threat that led to the cancellation of these concerts. it'd be, what do we know what have all strained authorities found out and revealed about this plot. so today the austrian of far it is confirmed that they have found chemicals for building bombs at the main suspect house. they arrested him yesterday and they also found weapons for staffing people like mercedes and nice as well as
6:12 pm
a state police siren. so from that, they concluded that this would have maybe been the way to get in and out with a fake police siren as well as propaganda material by isis. an okay to so they confirmed a lot of the things that are already going around yesterday. and another big new piece of information was that the 2nd main subject of suspect, the 17 year old, was actually working close to the concert venue. and when they arrest the person next to it, austria's interior minister said that a tragedy has been averted. if you could put that in perspective, force me how many people would have been in attendance if these concerts had taken place? i mean, we're talking obviously have to be talking about a lot of young people. lot of teenagers. yes. it's approximately
6:13 pm
between 18200000 people because outside of the venue, the published out here in indiana, there's a big park. so today at the press conference, the interior minister actually said that they were expecting approximately to 20000 more people than the venue hold. so maybe 1000 per night outside the venue. and this was also a major security concern because at the concerts of taylor swift, people are lining up very early to. and the 1st teas were already saying we and we didn't know how this would turn out of $60000.00 people would start lining up while there was an ongoing commit to our investigation. if it's as good do we know, and we found that from authorities what took them off to this plot to kill people. it was for an intelligence services which is something that happens often in australia. so for the last few big terrorist threats,
6:14 pm
it was always foreign intelligence services because an austria, the local 1st, these are not able to surveil a digital communication. and they, this is also a big topic of debate by the government. but also just the big question in australia general about how much surveillance would be a lot. yeah. well, you know, luckily if you know, luckily a disaster was averted and we're talking about what could have been or what could have happened. journalist francesca charts from pulse 24 in vienna. we appreciate your reporting. thank you. thank. as you're watching dw, do some berlin coming up next. e w looks at the trophy hunting and ask why some enthusiast defendants. i'll be back at the top of the hour with mobile news, so i hope to see you the, the
