8:07 am
. that is something that the russians are accusing the ukrainians of our president lensky said. it was the other way round, little boy. if someone could use a nuclear weapon in our part of europe, it could only be one entity. and this entity is the one who ordered short group to make these calls. if russia is calling to tell everyone around that, ukraine is supposedly preparing something. it means only one think. russia has already prepared all of this equal. there is a similar statement from the foreign minister of ukraine, a little earlier. he said that these claims coming from russia were absurd and dangerous. he said that ukraine was a member of the nonproliferation treaty, had no such nuclear capabilities or ambitions. and that's when russia makes these sorts of allegations, it usually means that it's planning something itself along such lines. the u. k. ministry of defense also gave it's read out of the call between defense minister ben wallace, and his opposite number a show you saying that they refuted such claims and that they cautioned that such
8:08 am
allegations should not be used as a pretext for greater escalation. so the russians a saying that the ukrainians are trying to build up some kind of a device to, to carry out a false flag attack the ukrainians. eric, using the russians of exactly the same thing. it is notable that russia does seem to be very much on the back foot in southern ukraine, around her son, evacuations of civilians, reports of evacuations of military equipment as well. the ukrainians are saying that communications net except also being cut there in advance of its potential ukrainian recapture of that very important strategic city. so a lot of eyes are on the area. the russians are saying that the ukrainians are concocting this device that a de ledgers they are putting together not too far away from her son to brazil. now where leftists presidential candidate, lucy, nice, yoletta silver is hard at working trying to win over the votes of conservative,

has suspended his anti torture mission to australia after its inspectors were refused entry at several jails. inspectors are tasked with visiting detention facilities to monitor and prevent brutality on detainees. able to collect relevant information and documentation for their assessments. the un zante torture missions have been suspended or postponed in 3 other countries. as of i, john, ukraine, and wanda. for years human rights groups have voice their concern over a ledger abuses in australian prisons as well as youth and immigrant detention centers. the abuses they say are targeting in particular indigenous communities. all i speak to sophie mcneil about this, she's an australia researcher at human rights watch and his joining us live from birth. thank you very much, sophie for being with us. tell us for us what's behind australia's refusal to welcome these un inspectors. hi, thank you for having me will look. unfortunately, it's a bit of a bureaucratic bungle that has led to this. this bipartisan support at
8:13 am
a federal level. our full up catch, which is a, you know, the name of this anti torture, a body that australia has signed off to its part of our commitment to eradicate torch and preventing inhumane treatment in places of detention. so the previous coalition government, under prime minister, malcolm trembled, signed destroyer up to this and the current government, anthony albany, these new government that has been in place since may. they also support this? but the problem is, is that states and territories control the prisons, and they're worried about funding that if these un inspectors come in and say you have to do this, this in this who's going to pay for it. so unfortunately, i'm a kind of a dispute, bureaucratic dispute of money has now led to a really embarrassing, international humiliation way un inspectors or having to cancel a visit to australia. and we're a company of rwanda as a by john and ukraine now. so it's, it's really deeply embarrassing wise there
8:14 am
a great a need for scrutiny of australia's detention centers, one of the conditions, liking in australian prisons and detention facilities we, we're really looking forward to this visit because we have had deep concerns for many years now about liberal issues we have seen issues about our prolonged solitary confinement of prisoners, particularly disabilities, were daily, dimly concerned about the treatment of young people and true children, particularly 1st nations children. there's a center in the north of australia called the don dale detention center that actually had a rural commission, which is a, a special investigative body set up to investigate abuses in that center. we have issues in western australia where i'm speaking to you from now. well, there is a detention center called bank, she hill detention center and accusations of inhumane treatment they're against children. so we do have deep concerns. but you know, we're pleased that there is bipartisan federal support for this mission. and we think that these issues can be worked out and the mission can be salvaged. and i
8:15 am
think they'll be a lot of embarrassed people in camber right now. i can't believe it came to this. now be trying to fix this as soon as i can. and as he said, australia has ratified the optional for a call to the convention against torture. and is committed to reforms odd that the reforms happening is change ongoing. we think it's too slow, much too slow, and that's why this un visit was so important to have an external eyes on these matters to, to really cool out and, and name and shame where stranger is not meeting the standard status that it needs to meet. i'm, we don't think this has been enough of a priority. you know, there's no vote soft in, in, in treatment of prisoners. so it gets ignored every election cycle. it doesn't get the funding it needs. we had hoped that this un mission would bring that the attention to these issues that they deserve, and it is disappointing. the visit got cancelled, and i really hope that these inspectors will come back very soon and are these visits. we'll go ahead. thank you so much for talking to us. so figment mcneil, australia research at human,

8:27 am
. this isn't, can township an area code can see village, but it's an area which has been cut off from the internet for more than a year. many parts of me i'm on the effectively closed off to, to the internet. since the military shut it down after the qu, but this does filter patton of behavior we've seen from the military. recently i've just returned from the border with ma'am, where people were telling me for the inside. although there is very little electricity inside. many of these border areas, people have very skid turn on light sorted to, to turn on generators because there are military sponsor planes in the area when they see something they often colon strikes or artillery strikes. so this certainly fits a path in the behavior that we're seeing, not just in kitchen in the north part of the country, but all along these border areas where most military is engaged in
