people throughout the arab world. and let me just show you the car, everything goes floor that has been driving has had a wide or people are on top. and this is. 6 getting a celebration like this until the next day and for people in cars are going to it's, it's specially we because 3 of the members of the squad hard for me because i blanca is the goalkeeper the. 6 know from we're going to do it because of itself. so it's feel for the people here that it is incredible speed. no one against anything is possible. that's how it feels. for many

people hear the demand, feel good. people coming out of their neighborhood to celebrate this is such a level. it's the magic of football. this is about the world cup is all about. i couldn't roger music. lensky says, russian forces have destroyed the eastern city of back much and turned it into burned ruins. fighting is reportedly intense, fight around the city and done yet screeching after the recapture of harrison nearly a month ago by ukrainian forces. then ski says the situation remains very difficult in several frontline cities. ukraine's military is also reporting strikes in different parts of the country or backwards. it used to be home to 72000 people. it became

a major military target for moscow in august. the only major area of the front line where the russians are still trying to advance. meanwhile, lensky says that more than one and a half 1000000 people in ukraine, southern port city of a desert have been left without power because of russian drone attacks. local authorities say they have energy facilities and cause so much damage. the only critical infrastructure remains connected to the electricity network. much of the surrounding region has also been affected. so let's get more on the situation in back and what specifically with your research and advisor to do crating. mr. defense, you joins me now from keith. and could you shed some more light on why russian forces have been so persistent in their advance on the city of back much good evening. they have been persistent for the last 4 and a half months because essentially this is when their attacks on the bottom would be guns. the reason why there is tactful so fierce in many ways, you know,

difficulties playing because they have lost thousands of russian soldiers trying to take control of it. now the main reason, of course, is that in the 2nd half of this year, the russian army has not had any success on the battlefield. the last that they took control of was john. and since then it was only backwards for them. of course, that desperate to you know, the show some former success to their own people because, you know, we will soon have this large scale invasion began almost a year ago. and they are really losing badly on a battlefield. but it's interesting that that doesn't appear to be any strategic or operational advantage to, to being able to take control of this city that just appears to be a victory for its own sake. but does that mean that there is an attempt here to

inflict losses on ukrainian troops to try and entrench them in that particular territory in order to weaken their effectiveness elsewhere? it is possible to assume that original plan of the army of the aggressor was to encircle the cranial forces in the area. of course, after the success of the printed counter offensive in the region, which is north of would be attempts to circle the city. we're doomed, and russian army flag for region. so the in the trying to get the success for the sake of success. but the city does not have any strategic importance. more over what needs to be said. they are using now in baltimore, the same tactics they've used before in cities like murray, full like ruby, you know, so they are raising it to the ground. it's

a bars of artillery fire, day and day out. they are throwing the soldiers, you know, both regular army, the wagner group, the so called water group, the newly mobilized dine bear in hundreds on a daily basis. so it is very difficult to comprehend what they're trying to achieve . but like i said before that they need badly some success because otherwise they will meet one year of this war without anything to show to their own people. i know the earring keys, but what information can you tell us about the frontline situation that we know that it's the civilian population wants to do at 72000. it's dwindled to some 12000 people. what conditions like for them and how those remaining residents in backlit managing to survive while the korean government actually started evacuating cities,

such as bach modes back in spring. so the vast majority of those who were willing to evacuate had the opportunity to do so, and they did. some people don't want to leave under any circumstances. you know, this is, this is life drive. so they don't want to abandon their holes and they would rather stay under their refi than leave their houses and their mother last are they your great army is now helping them as much as they can in terms of providing them with the basic necessities, the food the drinking water, you know electricity. but of course the situation is dire and it's literally a human ferry and disaster. well, thank you very much for taking the time to speak with fury sak advisor to ukrainian minister of defense. joining us from keith. thank. well, human rights defenders have denounced the invasion of ukraine have been awarded this. he has nobel peace prize at

a ceremony. and although they include alice by the etzky, jailed by russian human rights act, advocate into human rights organizations from russia and ukraine. they will recognize for their efforts to document war crimes and human rights abuses. so again, go reports the ceremony in atlanta, city hall prize, the warning crane and repression and bene, ruth appointment reminder nonetheless for the ongoing conflict in the region and those fighting against it. thus to receive the escalade latanya pension husband alice young, yet he is currently imprisoned. both l'oreal, when the prize was playing, phone the phone to the human rights group. yes, nor yet sky lead attempts to document abuses committed by the government of bellows to him. president, alexander lucas shanker, was arrested nearly a year and a half ago during mass anti government protest,

setting gulf the country following the contested elections. while lucca shanker was declared, went up on behalf of the memorial writes group, its chair, yon rich and sky representing one of russia's most highly regarded civil rights organizations. founded by another woman, nobel peace prize laureate, on the race, the heart of focused on uncovering human rights abuses in the soviet era and all of my future head of ukraine. sense of the civil liberties that work documented war crimes perpetrated against civilians in russian occupied areas. of the country we sent numerous report to us to receive council of europe. and nothing's told that this horror still continue. and after our skill invasion, we faced with unprecedented level of human face. so young richard sky, what has been surprising,

has been the humanitarian response against putins invasion of ukraine and the russians who are willing to defy the government to help forcibly displaced ukrainians, move back home. in fact, there are lots of cases where people get very serious support without it would be particularly difficult for disabled people who are being helped to move back to craig, from russia. galleries where the lucas shanker government continues its repression of dissenting voices. the danger of speaking out against the heavy hand of the state risks, imprisonment and torture. oboe is not what we saw in 2020, that people were brutally beaten. and we remember their cries when they were brutally abused by police forces and all those things having to stop to those meetings. the abuses are still going on, but they are going on in prison where those people can be heard. no one can hear their cries and the voices that dare to speak up remembered and on it and the work they continue to do in the face of monumental challenges. so new diagonal al

jazeera. let's just take a closer look now at, at the work of the center for civil liberties. this was the organization established in 2007 to promote democracy. a law rule of law in ukraine, but from 2014, with russia's annexation of crimea, and pro russian separate is fighting in the east. santa, turned its focus to human rights abuses and potential war crimes. and ever imagine a scale of violence or civilians that would eventually unfold as joan ha reports from my cove or the snow bound road west of keith, where months earlier, russian tanks had rolled war crimes investigators from ukraine's center for civil liberties are following in their tracks you know how good they've come to the village of mac curved to record the testimony of a woman who says her husband was killed by the russians. he was put in a stella. and here is where alexi died from what i know he was struck with

something sharp like the handle of a knife or a rifle stuck behind his left ear. then they brought him here and killed him. 5 stab wounds to the chest. her mobo phone contains a wealth of evidence of her descriptions of stock, and matter of fact that voted to sandy terrace where his best friend andre was shot in the hedge. as alice, this is what was left after his body was retrieved. i have many photos, it does though, this was 30 of alaska and alexys body was here to be honest. i have no idea. he put his body in the boot of the car that were here. you can see the spot. we are standing where the car was parked. it's a painstaking business, collecting evidence of alleged war crimes like this, a process repeated already thousands of times and they may well be thousands more. and they don't even know for sure whether these crimes will ever be prosecuted. there is no international tribunal yet at which to try them. our website is

terminal for put in it, and it's our database of our crime so. so you can see it is the number of incidental morrow, 25000 to was a moment to put a 5th year. suddenly this is a process that will take time. however, we must collect this information and nothing gets lost. you, are you confident that these crimes will be brought to justice? yes, i am confident justice. justice may be slow, but the certainty is reassuring. for this widow of the war, and many like her al serbia's gonna alternate her to let it deploy serbian military and police in kosovo off to flare up intentions. police in protest is blocking roads of exchanged gun fire. they are kosovo serbs who constitute a majority in the north, an angry at the arrest of a serbian form, a member of the cost of a police. meanwhile,
