7:02 pm
i think it's comic justice in a way because of the former prime minister had really, really persecuted mom of eunice. there was a barrier and she faced a beverage of cases which had very little legal standing and, and the celebrated nobel laureate, was truly in many ways you mediated in our country. and now with us as the leader of this interim government, do you think that will be enough to just bring it in to the violence that we've seen? yes, we were essentially a country without a government for the last few days. and i think we really saw firsthand what country like that didn't look like because there were no cops on the street. the police sessions have been hundreds of police. visions had been set on fire and the citizens took it into their own hands to get on the streets and, and start doing things that the government start providing services. but document usually does, which means controlling traffic, cleaning of trash,
7:03 pm
guarding the streets at night. and uh it, i mean, while it was all very inspiring to see citizens coming up and, and, you know, doing their civic view changes. and it still did not, did really do a lot in terms of bringing down the kinds of violent stewards, minorities that you had seen the in the community or are wild stewart'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've been sworn in today. they're not just professionals in their own fields, but there are also people who had been strong human rights advocates doing a tie when talking about human rights was stamped them on to being an die state. this is, 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. russia has
7:04 pm
declared a state of emergency over one of the biggest incursions by ukrainian troops into its territory. since the war began, moscow says that it has block ukrainian forces from advancing deeper into the course of the region near russia, south western border, ukraine's presidential office blamed mos scale for the escalation and has not said that it watched the cross border attack. officials in the course and say around 3000 civilians have been evacuated. we've got team coverage of what's going on. i'm joined now by our correspondence and economy and keith and nina. so many of the in reagan, she's reporting from last via the home of the w, as must be on team dw small scale office, which 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? when we hear that ukraine's a troop have advanced into russian territory,
7:05 pm
experts now say that they have advanced a 10 kilometers into the course of regions. so russian territory, 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 air 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,
7:06 pm
go to you. ukraine was noticeably silent on this yesterday. what are you hearing 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 to, let's give day, who said that ukraine's all me was able to surprise you the world and its opponents button. nothing more than that. i think they have good to hear from last year is pretty much failed somewhere offensive when it was all it took 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 directory could be unpopular amongst ukraine. sports in the west, as they're trying to basically keep heads down to say, as little as possible and let the fact speak for themselves. this is obviously a potentially quite risky taking this much the way resources into ukraine has a time where that 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,
7:07 pm
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, insisting that the war in ukraine is going according to plan. talk to me about the political implications for russian and how can the criminal explain this to it's public? yeah, i think what nick just mentioned this 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 a tuesday. and um, yeah, i mean, since then he's really shown and an effort to show that the situation is under control. just this afternoon, putting spoke to the acting regional governor and said, it wasn't unconventional difficult situation that we've been seeing here here. so this is pretty much, yeah, it sounds like a bit of down playing the situation that is happening in the course region right
7:08 pm
now. nick, we know that you cranes, troops are already overstretched. they been retreating and 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 resources 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, hearing key of that they have to get away from that kind of conventional meet grind at the kind of artillery will because russia is always going to, we in russia with it should be a result is manpower is always going to have more to throw those front lines than ukraine doesn't spill from 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 hillside growing sense here that listening to the us in particular. and it's kind of the pretty conservative approach in the bite and
7:09 pm
mistress, the cause of 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 win back in surgery? so i think they decided to go into this risk of an out seems to be paying off the connolly in keep and need to some, you know, but in re good to both of you. thank you. this is a quick look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. hey, mudslide has killed several people and injured 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 fire, tear gas, and people gathering for a rally. weeks of anti government protests have been driven by anger over the cost of living in the eastern united states, one person has been killed by a tornado, sparked by tropical storm debbie. and that takes the number of deaths related to

7:11 pm
austrian of far it is confirmed that they have phone 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 a state police siren. so from that, they concluded that this would have maybe been the way to get in and out with the state police siren as well as for getting the material by i see is an outcry 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 all the rest, the person next to it. austria's interior minister said that a tragedy has been averted. if you could put that in perspective for us, i mean how many people would have been in attendance if these concerts had taken
7:12 pm
place? i mean, we're talking, obviously, have to be talking about a lot of young people. lot of teenagers. yes. it's approximately 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 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. it's $60000.00 people would start lining up while there was an ongoing commit to our investigation. if it is good, do we know when we found that from authorities?
7:13 pm
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, 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, i 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. the parents are living. there has been
