8:05 pm
some province on the other side of the need for river from the main city of her son, her son, one of the areas that russia recently annexed and said would be sovereign russian territory from now on. now, of that, a mere putin hasn't been speaking about it in those terms. up until now, but on this day has chosen to, on this national unity day or so, coming, coming back to some of his more familiar language in terms of fighting not sees the inevitability of the conflict with ukraine or the west trying to make an anti russia out of ukraine, but there has been a response to all this from the ukranian side as well. they are saying that sir, these evacuations of civilians amounts to forcible deportations, at least in some instances. and that the signal in coming from the train about the potential for military withdrawal, along with the a civilian withdrawal that the russians are effectuated. that, that could be some kind of a provocation that they may be trying to draw ukrainian troops into
8:06 pm
a st battle inside her son. the crating intelligence has been talking for some time about the troops they're being reinforced. so there is a very difficult to ascertain picture around this very important city. but what is clear is that a lot of the fighting is now focused here, has been since the ukrainians announced their counter offensive back in august. and it's got more now from as that bag who has visited the village in his own region when taken by ukrainian forces. last month he spoke to residents about life and death ration, occupation. we still don't know what's exactly going on with her son offensive, but what we have heard is that the ukrainian military has taken back a village to day. why is that significant? well, when the ukrainians take back of small village or town, what lays ahead of them are open fields, which means that the russians have to retreat a considerable distance to get cover. and it also means ukrainians can move there
8:07 pm
to reform and strike at a greater distance. now this village in her son was taken back by the ukrainians a month ago, but this school was hit just last week. now what that shows is that even though the russians may be retreating, the still able to strike targets an infrastructure at a considerable distance with their missiles. he equally things in it, while we spoke to people in this village, and they told us about their experiences whilst the russians were here. now we have not heard and i did not understand what kind of friend them's russians can have during the war. yet under the muzzle of machine guns, each 3, several soldiers whose machine guns accompanied people, forces them to what were you to have? this is a garage rocket. it destroyed everything, killed my ducks after the blood, i was pulling him out from under the rubble. because the animals will not cause i survived world war 2, but i never thought that the russians will attack us. they were here, i saw them,
8:08 pm
they walked in every house and i wanted to say so much to them. but my son stopped me. he said, don't say anything to them, they will kill us again. although this village was taken back a month ago, we're still hearing constant artillery shelling and missiles being fight overhead and also the russians firing back. so although people here are trying to return to life as normal as it was before the russians were here, the war is still ongoing. foreign ministers from the g 7 group of nations, continuing with meetings in germany. high on the agenda were russia, war and crime. china's growing economic dominance and runs crackdown on protest is the ministers have also discussed food shortages in africa. step vast and is live for us in one step. hello, this step its something was a lengthy agenda for g 7 ministers. what ended up coming out of the 2 day meeting?

8:15 pm
that. and as you mentioned, there is a federal class action lawsuit that has been father was filed thursday night i here in san francisco, a saying that the company that mosque has not abided by the terms of a federal law that requires 60 days notice, and other protections for employees, when there are massive layoffs at a company with, with a large number of employees, how that's going to affect what's going on right now. we don't know exactly, but there is that the complicating factor in what is already a very murky. and so some would say crazy situation at twitter engage plenty of moving parts to the story. thank you very much for bringing us up to spade. robert reynolds law for us in san francisco. still ahead announce is a run. it's an oris, be a very, very best see in our hearts it said no, never go away. how a fail social experiment in denmark still haunt,
