4:02 pm
told me about the psychological effect. the incursion is having on ordinary russians. well, yes, well things are still developing and i think it takes, sometimes for most rushing to digest what is really happening. especially if we take into consideration that they're asking us authorities. i've tried to downplay the fact i'm still trying to downplay it. um we don't have scientific data on this . um, there are no, no pulse on the incursion of the ukrainian army, but a so we can speculate at the moment, but it is really a big thing, a psychologically, as you've just mentioned, because it's really for the 1st time for decades that russia has been attacked by a neighboring state. um, uh well russians, so to say that to great is not the state. so from a part of the soviet union, but still it has been a silver instead of just do a southern state for most of the world. so the effect is there and um, it depends on where you live in russia,
4:03 pm
if it leaves closer to the border where things are happening now in, in western and southern regions of rush. i think the effect is much more. um um, um it is my stronger so um people c o o those more than 800000 dis tac toe refugees. this is the 1st time rush. i was having this on such a scale. and of course, you can hardly compare it to credit where millions have to fly the country off to the russian invasion, but still it has an enormous effect on the russian. so i can, i think it will take some more time for me to let it sink in. because because it's such a huge thing, have many analysts say a part of the ukrainian strategy here. so fear, and even this send with the government, among average russians is not working you think of as well? um it's, it's hard to measure that. i think if it's working then it's,
4:04 pm
it's not working that so we get, we can, we can really say that it's, it's, it's working well or what cannot. i'll explain um this, this more when you're in russia is attacked by any country. is a tech. there is more, i think something about riley around the flag. so people, the society is more consolidated and this is what loves reporting is hoping for. this is what he was addressing. uh, just uh, uh, on monday when he spoke about this incursion. so he said that uh ukraine will not succeed in dividing on a country. so um, i don't think the major major point of this incursion for your credit. i think the major points were, 1st of all, to denver or the russians for us is from don't boss where the fighting is very, very hard for the brain. and i mean a to boost the opinion we're all and um, to uh, to show it to the world. a 2 grandkids still fight that it can still hate russia and, and these can still be successful. the criminal, it has
4:05 pm
a notorious propaganda machine. how is that been reacting to this incursion. busy it's interesting, and the russian propaganda machine has a big problem and is because it's a, it's basically has no more munition, because russian propaganda has been telling for years as being has been telling stories like less, boom, you're great. let's, let's draw up a new clip on your client. let's boom, washington. let's bone berlin. so uh they, they can hardly escalate small um, verbally. so um they pressed a real problem and now watching them listening to them. i see that they're basically continuing to say the same things that russia has to take revenge on. your brains also has to drop mobile homes on your brain process with the killed you kind of the presence of landscape. but we've called that old a many, many times before. and on the other hand, russian propaganda has also a problem because, and i think he's trying to downplay the, the scale of what is happening. um and we are seeing that the trying to bring all
4:06 pm
the news from other regions of rush or other events. so they're not focusing completely on what is happening cost something you would expect in any of the country. yeah, that was our eastern europe editor, one going to rank of great speaking to you. thank you so much. and we can now take a look at some other stories making news around the world. today. authorities have arrested an 18 year old man over a staffing at a mosque in north western turkey. the attack injured 5 people leaving 2 of them in a critical condition. the interior minister has described the incident as random medical staff across india have staged a strength over the rape and murder of a doctor at a hospital in the eastern city of co cut out. a suspect has been arrested. protests are spreading with activists demanding tighter security to scientists saying they have discovered evidence of a mass of reserve of liquid waterbury. deep within mars,

4:08 pm
typically you to battle the plays with people pitching into help wherever possible to go to my left. what are we trying to save all the houses around. apart from ours, it's a difficult situation. the firefighters and everyone here trying the best. the thing is you can't find nature a medically split up as i get. so people are not in the house next door. the trees were on fire. i don't know what happened because we were told to leave. but the situation is tragic but significant. you can 6 smoke names, residents can only hear and not see. even nearby helicopters working disliked the fine is strong winds. intended dry conditions have made bet. lang, the blaze is specially tricky. with flames stretching, moulding 25 maces high in some places. june and july, with the hottest month either recorded in greece,
4:09 pm
which also recorded its rule mister winter either. the fire is estimated to have been through about 10000 hic day as of land, an area illogic then man has health is on its way from several e u. countries from italy and the check for public are among those sending equipment and assistance. thousands of residents remain on standby as the finest regions, more homes and several athens hospitals being prepared to take casualties. our correspondence, sophia clift, hockey is in athens and spend the past few days in the affected area. she gave us this update on the fire the situation remains crucial. i'm right now in the very least you have the most effected areas where several
4:10 pm
houses. cars are burned down. you can see it uh, behind me. and uh, as we speak. assets are still falling down. uh so the situation is still uh, crucial. however, most affected areas as we speak are put under control, but as the fire is not completely pulled out, everyone remains on high alert. and also there was a warning, especially for the upcoming hours where the winds are expected to stay as they are right now. very strong or even stronger. so um, everything is still uh 10. uh well, what we saw and especially yesterday is the people um, even those ones were a warrant and, and sent the text messages to evacuate. didn't evacuate immediately for several reasons. many of them wanted really to wait until they saw the flames literally in front of their homes. others wanted to see if the situation is that serious. mary
4:11 pm
told us they want to protect the properties. they do not know where to leave and they don't want to leave. and we see uh, we saw people that were struggling to protect their homes themselves. either they told us they were calling for help us. no one came. that was a lot of criticism on that, so this is also a reason they didn't evacuate immediately. now the help they get, they were um, there's several expectations centers set up. then there are volunteers and local organizations providing the water food, basic medical chairs, a shelter of course, because they haven't been informed officially to come back to their um houses and of course transportation. so those ones who don't have their own transportation, that was sophia cliff doc. you reporting for us from athens, you're watching the the news, silver cup cannabis users in germany come down from the high of the criminalization . as your rockers the emerges as the next big hurdle.

4:13 pm
eunice. it is very helpful for us that he is the supervisor of the term government. and i hope that he will be stake and this 30 steps, and if it can be fixed and still making the succession of the country better. and because the system of the country is very caught up the right know, and we need to establish some kind of system under the, for me that the far to be spent on the country. the students are also demanding security from those still fit for the of the government. they want safety in campus and that's the safety includes our safety from outside their expense and also from 40 to go to se, nathan, we seem in us from out inside our campus. we don't want any of our teachers to be 40 degree, se negative and powerful because we want them to the main on by us. in any situation. wireless sense of normalcy appears to have it done to the campus.
4:14 pm
many are still keeping those off of the fellow classmates outside the campus. the students are painting attribute to those skilled during the protests. are my dear, as have said, a lot of things before to sacrifice their lives for the country, their captions and their facebook quotes d b, then all these quotes are able mission started. that said a lot of meaningful things to us. we want to remember that for the rest of our lives and we want our next generation to see everything. we want the names to be remembered. we want one that said, we want them to remember everything. that's right. vehicle name, everything. everything that they have said in our university was the predicts, begin with students demanding a change to the government school system for us to the service jobs. it ended with an of sort of shit, cutting us government, making the students even more determined to strive for the free and democratic country. we can out here from our lab. here is
4:15 pm
a student from bangladesh who has been living in germany for the past 4 years. so great to have you on the show, and i want to start with, with the feeling you had when you 1st saw your fellow students take to the streets in bangladesh. did you expect them to be able to basically talk with the government . there was a strong belief within me, of course it was a feeling of extreme jubilation. if i may say i was full proud. i'm still so proud of what we are doing, what we have achieved so far. it, it had been a long month the month of july of for this and looked at like these that we have experienced an order for it was a for elective struggle for us and we have, i think what we have done is revolutionary. it is that you have a notion in our country and to think that such a powerful government tools a such such a powerful dictator. mr. shake has seen how she would be able to resist her regime
4:16 pm
and be able to oust her is, is just show us how strong a student movement or general population movement can be. yeah, it was a 1st step for allister, there's a lot more work ahead. what do you expect the interim government to do now? guaranteed maintain government are trying to find out where all the diseases lie in the system. and they're trying to diagnose all that, all the, all that is that to diagnose, we recently found out what a, how broad back where up sions are. um, how, how much depth the country has. and how can we try to work on it in the future? um, they're trying to lead down the plan far, austin detroit. and they are also trying to he farm and the constitution in a way so that the next government the next find them into
4:17 pm
a government that comes into bower, is not able to form such an autocratic regime that this government was able to do. and the students do want to remain instrumental in the stone fair and that there has been a call for a resistance weak program that is set to start today. can you tell us what that is about? so, so there was, there was kind of like a judicial cool reverse school planned uh, by the heads of the supreme court, the head judge and etc. and we got to know about it. and then doing this weekend, we both tested near the supreme court and we do minded for there is ignitions of the athletic divisions as an accept trump. and thankfully our for the square successful and we weren't able to stop that traditional cool. what we
4:18 pm
learned is that, that there are on spent a deep politics working in the whole system. everyone is trying to gain something out of it, but mostly the fall in regime they are trying to do and do all that good work that we're trying to do. which is why all the student eaters, and all the student organizations from all around the country, banded together and call it industries. and it just didn't speak because we hired a rumors and speculations that the government is and the farmer by administer, she has the i is trying to come back to buy my dish and i'm trying to oust and legitimize these governments somehow the stabilize this government with our energy um yes, i'm at the. how promising do you find the legal efforts against
4:19 pm
a casino in relation to, to the killings that took place during the protest? mm hm. so one of the demands of the students right now is that the needs to be, i just described in the font, to far all the feelings done by the former regime and to be one of the private citizens of the country, filed a criminal case against a prime minister to foreign ministers, the whole minister and um, the rhodes rhodes minister, who is also the, you know, security officer party my with the show many and 3 commissioners of the police. so all of them have a, have been, uh, charged. um and we, we do want justice, we do want that they are taking into you know, like, uh they are taking into serious excuse me no,
4:20 pm
just this. yeah. we'll have to leave it there. those are what i'm going to thank you so much for iran has called on european authority in countries to quote a stand against the war and got some parents has dismissed calls from france, germany and the okay to exercise restraint. as fears grow of an imminent or rainy an attack on israel, iran, blaine's israel for the killing of losses political to even pair on less one's a u. s. federal group a ship is being sent to the region, which is being seen as a warning to or is there any reason to believe that iran will not retaliate or limit its retaliation? i put this question to fall was george is a professor of international relations at the one and school of economics. the reading is that the wrong leadership does not really want. allow tool is
4:21 pm
a israel. they are taking that time. they are trying to calibrate that attack in a way that does not really provide these riley 5 minutes. that was a pre tax for the full escalation, full side escalation. so to answer your question in, in, in a, in directly i think it will most likely be measured and try to avoid civilian casualties in is rap, iran's new president, mostly protest, skin is considered more moderate then his predecessor is there, or was there hope for the escalation with this new government as well. i mean, we know that the new president, the agenda is the agenda is very clear. he wants to focus on the economy. he wants to open up the wrong a society, the one to restore relations with the less than governments. but remember what happened on your end is in all duration. uh are best and the smart and honey yeah,
4:22 pm
was the, i mean guess ivana for the wrong and the, the ship was killed during the in log duration. so it was really great humiliation seen by the wrong and leadership. so what the, your, on your leadership is trying to do is to basically that's what they say to try to restore the task, strive to prevent israel convinced is round, not really a take a. so the ad rush. and for the iranian president, it was basically a major sabotage before even he uh, owned his own cabinet. but at the end of the day for your own use, the wrong president does not really make the final decision on full on policy and strategic mathus. it's the so praying lead the wrong i'd be so many who is the come on that and see. but based on what we know, that then you're arguing president is trying to limit your role as retaliation. because in his thoughts and his phone conversations with the french president and
4:23 pm
the british prime minister stomach, it made it very clear that the way to the escalate is to have a c spot to and the blah blah thing and god. and this is my, get your on a way out to climb down from the tree. mm hm. now, and this is what we have publicly been told, right? that, that there was a rebuttal of the western nations appealed for restraint. what do we know about the back door diplomacy efforts and in this issue? well, i think that this is a very important question. i think what we know, what we do not know is more important than what we know. we know that the united states and you're on uh, communicating directly and in direct they have been doing the sofa wide, you know, says the uh, break out to the war in guys. we also know that your theme governments, whether germany or problems or britain are really trying to also, uh,
4:24 pm
the escalate the crisis we know pop out and take in egypt. and jordan are also playing a role. but at the end of the day, you're all going to need to have made it very clear they can not afford met to retaliate. and sadly, to say, as a student of international relations, that's what states do the idea prestige. the idea of the times is very important, but at the end of the day, it's been 2 weeks now. and the fact that you're on and phys, by law level as well, i have not 3 delegates. it's so far, it tells me they are trying very hard, that decision will be designed to retaliate without really provoking and a further escalation between israel and the united states on the one hand. and you're on any it's local allies on all that. as far as jurors from the london school of economics, thank you so much, great to get your insights to the de criminalization of cannabis under me earlier
4:25 pm
this year was celebrated by many butts. the countries and from us bureaucracy has since improved earl down are kind of us clubs were supposed to provide legal access to the drugs, but they're having a hard time opening their doors for business themes of jubilation. not berlin's brand. number gates on april. first, they mark to decriminalize ation of china based in germany. much awaited by many well adults can now possess and smoke marijuana and public bureaucracy seems to be standing in the way of access to legal cannabis. according to the new law, individuals can grow up to 3 cannabis plants at home. and as of july, 1st, people can apply to establish so called kind of best social clubs. associations were members can grow plants together and share the harvest. the problem, some clubs have been unable to apply for a license in berlin. not a single club has managed a hand in their application. frustrated pulled, founders have come together and started organizing to put more pressure on the
4:26 pm
authorities. the responsibility for the permit application is being shifted back and forth between city and district authorities. we feel like we are being lied to from start to finish. the berlin city government told the w it is currently clarifying which office should oversee the permits. while this is being sorted out, the responsibility falls under district authorities. this still doesn't provide much clarity to the hold for managers of the kind of as clubs and questions remain as to whether this new law really makes it possible for people to access cannabis legally. yeah, is there something i've already signed up to be a club member and now we're waiting, waiting for books happening more and more. and my circles is that people are getting their own accounts for the way they do this. you in germany is a contest. so free, this wouldn't change anything the way it is right now. so people still use cell dealers, you know, because still we have no shops to buy it from somewhere. despite some skepticism
