places targeted. the governor of hans collegians has the town of crimea has fallen to the russians with 4 people killed as they tried to flee. 7 people died in a miss on attack on levine, the 1st civilians killed in that western city which had previously largely escaped attack. another day of shelling is also kill civilians in har keith, and then more missiles were also find at the capital cave. meanwhile, in mario pul, ukrainian forces there is still hold up in a still works. they've been defending from the russian military. right, so let's get more on the new offensive. now. charles try for joins us live from, denise bro, in the east of the country. and so now this area where you are now is going to be in focus as well as this new offensive to seize control of that don bass region gets on the way. well,
12:03 am
i think it's safe to say, certainly east of here is going to be very much the focus of russian forces. now we've had this official announcement from the president himself, president val amazing lensky saying that the battle of don bass and has started. we were hearing throughout the day and comments from various military and government officials that it looked in all likelihood to have begun. because as you reported at the beginning of the program, we have seen what can only really be described as an escalation. and certainly with respect to those miss isles, all those hits in love if and which we understand. certainly according to the ministry of defense in moscow, we're at least one attacks against what they describe as foreign weapons that had been stored in the country. but we've also seen attacks in the east hair am specifically an escalation in car cave despite that city having been under such
12:04 am
heavy bombardment over the last 7 weeks or so. we saw ra increasing, fighting in the loo, ganske region as well. and officials in la guns warning remaining civilians in that area to get out and, and fighting in villages that one of which at least we understand according to the ukrainian military was taking control of by russian forces. and of course, there have been claims increasing claims over the last few days or so by the russians. that term, basically the ukrainians, had no chance left in mary arkell and giving ukrainian forces, the remaining ukrainian forces we understand, hold up in that giant great soviet built steel plant, am offering them a chance to surrender. and of course the crating forces refusing. and so there is fighting going on there, but we understand that term, you know, the,
12:05 am
the russians are pretty com and that they are close to full control of that city. and analysts will tell you that this could potentially free up a russian forces in the southeast, in mary opal to concentrate further north or certainly a push further north and further into into, into the east of the country. but of course, there are a huge concerns about the civilians in, in, in this errors. well just with respect to the as of steel plant, there was a comment made or statement released today by the commander of the as of battalion . and he reporting on a telegram channel that they're there around a 1000 civilians hiding in bunkers underneath. that still works as the works. of course that is being targeted as i say. and of course there is still potentially hundreds of thousands of other civilians. right. the way across the region that are received hugely vulnerable to any increased and or escalation in advance from
12:06 am
russian forces from various different sides across the eastern region and cows. we hear about thousands of russian trips in lived in to southern and east in ukraine in preparation for this offensive and heavy artillery going into the dumbass. at what information are you getting about that and how the ukrainians might be preparing a response? will our drive from here to denise pro today? of course, as you can imagine, we passed a military vehicles heading in both directions to be fair. but what we do know is that certainly in the eastern region, certainly around on ets. and i suppose la ganske as well, so we're told, and these are some of the most elite and well trained ukrainian units in the country. they, of course, many of them have been there defending that those front lines for 8 years since
12:07 am
this conflict started, or certainly the eternal conflict started well before this invasion, 8 years before this invasion. so we understand that preparations for some sort of defense. there have been underway for, for a long time. we also know that in recent weeks, president zalinski has been calling on the west to, to give more military aid. especially as we saw those russian troops and the withdrawal russian forces withdrawing from areas around cave. in the knowledge that they were heading around to were to reinforce positions and have a, have a, a strong, a push into the east. zalinski is demands from the west haven't gone completely unheeded. we saw another trunk shiver. american military 8 am come through am or certainly be confirmed by the americans. we don't know whether it's arrived yet. and last week, and that includes helicopters, apc's,
12:08 am
radar systems and more anti tank missiles that javelin anti tank missiles system that has been supplied by the us in the past. so they have got weapons, they're highly trained, they're very well motivated, as we've seen in the last said, weeks in their defense of give, for example. but the fact is, is that they all huge li, outgunned by russian forces. military analysts are expecting of the russians to use a lot more air power to hit positions and both on enemy lines and behind the ukraine. an enemy lines, a lot of artillery. and then some people are talking about the use of heavy use of, of russian tanks and infantry. so we're the beginnings of an escalation today. and this announcement by, by president zalinski, a very worrying indeed for as i said,
12:09 am
potentially hundreds of thousands of ukrainian civilians in the east of this country. thank you very much. alger is charles radford. they're in the central ukrainian city of denny prime. we want to bring you more now on the attacks on leave and other cities around the country. how the abdul hamid reports from levine it was just after 80 and when the air sirens went off, moments later black smoke over libby skylight for missiles truck one after the other. a to few seconds interval. one of them this drawing this car repair workshop in the north west of this city. it took several hours for the fire to be extinguished. the force of the blast rock natalia and her daughter catch ya out of bed. they fled their hometown of civilian yet in the east of the country a week ago, because that was here with her getting back to normal. but this attack took us back home when the shells for land in around us. and we saw the neighbors on the ground
12:10 am

12:11 am
give continues to come under constant shelley, russia now striking deeper into the city center. and in my you pull when forces have ignored an ultimatum issued by moscow to surrender. hold up in a steel factory south of this poor city. despite being surrounded and outnumbered by russian forces, ukraine's president followed the mares zalinski has described the situation there as inhumane. so far, levine has been spared the destruction witness in those other cities. it has played a vital role in this war, becoming the supply and logistical hub for humanitarian and military 8 coming into the country. now the mayor warns no one is safe here either joining them. i am agreeing with me now in ukraine. they are no safe or unsafe places. every one is on the threat. i repeat my call to old resident. whenever you hear the sirens go to

12:25 am
sweden now because i've been dozens of people arrested in 4 days of rights in the country. this has been triggered by a far right group announcing plans to publicly but copies of the koran at rallies, protested, and police were injured. and these clashes violent started on thursday at protest designed to oppose demonstrations, organized by danish swedish politician rasmus pallid done, who leads the anti immigration and anti islamic hard line movement pool raised joins me now from mal mode and pull. tell us how these protest began in several cities last thursday came about well as he mentioned mariam, it's really down to one man and his party, a bit of a political non entity really rasmus poly done in sweden. certainly even in his home country of denmark on top of sweden, at the moment, threatening to burn copies of the koran. now this began
12:26 am
a couple of years ago in late summer of 2020. and is the whole reason that poly on is described as danish sweeter. she tried to come over to my, my event threatening to burn a copy of the koran, and the sweetest police don't say he managed to get round that by claiming sweetie citizenship through his father. and now he has essentially carte blanche to come over and, and do whatever he wants. now he is the leader of the strong coast party, which has not had any influence in sweden so far, but he will have to push his anti migrant, anti islam agenda. head of the swedish elections later this year, and that's over this is the weekend has led to those riots up in nor shipping lin shipping or bro. and here in mama, the rose and go to state. whether all right, the last couple of days, demonstrations turning into riots is just
12:27 am
a few 100 meters behind me. there was a school bus, a bus set on fire and residence calls, burnt. a line are to start today, some reaction from the government, the prime minister mark the lane, anderson has said that paula dunn's actions are up hormones, but she's defended the sweetest constitution and said that, reacting to it in this violent sense is, is indefensible, and unlawful and really, it's the sweetest law that is also a problem and this issue and why have they turn so violent with many police officers an ordinary citizens injured? well, essentially the police are in a difficult position. and again, it's because of the sweetest constitution. what one of the pillars of the constitution is freedom of expression, its freedom to demonstrate. and not only that but the police are obliged to protect
12:28 am
about freedom. so power that has been essentially protected by the police in pushing his anti womic agenda. thought obviously create a lot of anger and in a lot of these areas, there are people who are very disadvantage. you are angry, young men in short. the police have also said that dozens of them are actually from criminal networks. sweden has a big problem with, with crime in these areas, but the constitution is the big thing. it says stopping the police from stopping polygon, who has been deported from france in the past. been stopped in belgium. so it might not be too unreasonable to think that the constitution or the law could be changed to stop someone burning a book of one of the world's major religions. well mine, i think the people's freedom of expression would be too hindered by that. all right,
12:29 am

12:33 am
stories about what happened to the flagship of russia's black sea fleet. the moskva ukraine says its missiles hit the ship, but russia maintains it sank while being towed away after a fire on board. and newly released video is providing some clues, as john hall now reports. new video appears to show russia's flagship cruiser the 43 year old moskva or moscow. shortly before she sank in the black sea on april, the 14th. but what actually happened to the aged mosque voir? this image offers clues in clear distress and listing heavily portside. the mosque appears to be burning internally with smoke billowing from portholes. there are signs of whole damage. life rafts are missing. the helicopter doors are opened while a rescue ship alongside sprays. water jets. ukraine claims it fire land
12:34 am
based neptune missiles that struck the cruiser off the coast of odessa. russia says only that there was a fire on board and that she sank in choppy waters while on the tow back to port. yet the waters here a come and the moskva is not on the tow. and perhaps most importantly, the fire be broken out just ahead of it, their defense missiles and just behind its surface itself is miss also, if at some point after the imagery was taken, either of those systems ignited that would have likely caused a much larger explosion that would have made the ship effectively unsalvageable, so it's undoubtedly a ship in distress and very much consistent with the ship that has been subject to a successful cruise mythos. also uncertain is the fate of the mosque was crew as many as 500 strong on saturday russian defense ministry pictures showed the
12:35 am
commander in chief of the navy meeting the ship's crew. in the crimean port of sylvester pole. only around a 100 men of present, russia has not confirmed any casualties, but there are reports of social media posts by relatives announcing the death of loved ones on board posts that were later deleted. in the opening salvo of russia's invasion, the most val played a major part of it confronted buddha, gods on snake island in ukrainian waters and ordered them to surrender. the incident and their colorful response became an emblem of ukrainian resistance. the sunken moskva almost 2 months later, is now matic of something else. not just one of the most significant losses in recent naval history, but assigned to many as well that ukraine's resistance is working. jonah whole al
12:36 am
jazeera danica back corner is professor of post soviet politics at dublin. city university joined me from dublin by skype. the loss of the mosque, obviously delta a serious blow to russia's military prestige. how is the kremlin and state media manage this? it's managed to essentially by denying any ukrainian agency. they are simply saying that this was an unfortunate accident that there are happy no casualties. and as your report indicates, there are already relatives of some of the conscripts who are allegedly on board and they are looking for answers to what happened to their children. but at the moment, the criminal narrative and the way of managing the story is simply to say that this was a horrible accident. but nonetheless, one dash was not caused by any ukrainian massage, which is the official line that the ukrainian government is promoting. and one that sounds more plausible. they starting to mirror the david and goliath narrative, and the trail that we have heard from ukrainian officials. i perhaps describing
12:37 am
this is not a war between russia and ukraine, but russia and nato. absolutely, there's a large amount of discussion now on russia state media about why this war is, is taking so long after all, it's not a war according to the official narrative. it's a special military operation. so why, you know, is this conflict that was supposed to be over in a few days now running into 2 months and with no obvious end in sight. and many are coming to inclusion that it's not because they are being defeated or being withheld by ukrainian generals. it's because this is really a. busy for a proxy war between russia and national, and therefore this is a struggle that russia itself is endangered. and as you say, there's a certain mirroring effect i favors ukrainians, of course, are the underdogs. here are the a symmetry of power overwhelming. you favors russia, but the russian media is presenting it as, as
12:38 am
a different kind of struggle that rushes, the underdog facing a much larger threat from nasal. and why is that particular narrative being conveyed? is it, is it to appeal to the russian people to have more patience with the offensive because it's likely to continue for many more months. or is it about perhaps preparing them for a declaration of victory on may 9th, without that being any significant political change in keys? well, there's a number of things that play one is a matter of national prize because it would be unacceptable. i think too many people to believe it was ukraine, essentially that was putting up this heroic resistance against russia. and secondly, it feeds into a much longer narrative of western hostility to, to russia. and that there is an attempt, by the way to destroy russia. you got so sanctioned, are being presented to the russian population via the media. they're presenting
12:39 am
this as symptomatic of a long standing hostility of the west towards russia. and that's why of course, they are supporting ukraine in this war. i say much danica tobacco, and i appreciate you joining us professor of post soviet history. you are the chinese authorities of reported 3 corona virus deaths in shanghai. the 1st in the cities latest outbreak. shanghai is in its 3rd week of locked down. now, china continues to enforce 0 tolerance approach to try and, and the outbreak. and now the round of mass testing is taking place. 300000 cases have been reported in shanghai. since late march held officials say those who died had underlying health conditions june, we did general none of them had been vaccinated. their condition deteriorated after being admitted to the hospital and they died despite medical intervention. the direct cause of death was underlying diseases. richard bruce baker is an
12:40 am
entrepreneur based in china. i who's been locked down with his family for 18 days, told us what life has been like there and the challenges people and businesses of facing i think the 1st week of parcel lockdown was, is almost normal. it, you could go around your community, even though my son was at home learning through school, we were able to kind of, you know, get around the city we could, we could do, we wanted to, we could buy groceries without much, without much challenge or at least have it delivered, but the full lockdown has been the real challenge in the 1st week, i'd say, a lot of anxiety, a lot of people trying to buy food, who hadn't repaired fully, but also just trying to understand what is the timeline, how serious situation, what can be the impact of business to education, like those are some real concerns and a lot of anxiety. the 2nd week was a little bit easier. i would say there were certain, see, some are leases were getting some, some ideas that things might be, might be lightening up. but the last week has been kind of back things idea again, where the duration of 3 weeks,
12:41 am
4 weeks for food on have really kicked in. and i think the challenge for the city for the country to figure out the 2 centers of gravity, the economy, and the virus, or societies health and wellness. and the virus centers is like a direct health issue. they're pulling at each other and we saw this in other regions around the world is this full lockdown it's, it's not easy and it's, it's, it's not something i think anyone wants to go through. but i don't think that they view that. they have another option, right? now, given whether vaccination rates are and the reality, they were to allow us to open like the rest roll has, it would quickly exponentially grow and against an a largely unvaccinated elderly population. it's a real concern that they have to balance. and so i'm not here to judge whether it's right or wrong, but it's going to be challenging no matter what decision they made. the easy tools are really off the table right now. the community in general that i live in,
