russia has stepped up its attacks in the dumbass region in south eastern ukraine. many buildings in the town of solid are have been distort. residents are hiding in underground shelters, not knowing what will happen next early. right, so actually this is the 2nd time the polish president came to key of during the course of this war. but yeah, as you, as you put it, rightly he is, it's the 1st time that any foreign leader was addressed to parliament. and he had some very interesting things to say. first of all, he thanked ukraine for their resistance for their bravery, for the courage in defending their, their motherland. and secondly, he also spoke about worrying voices that were essentially what he said i'm calling to yield to putin's demands. and the post president may clear that the ukrainian parliament and the training parliament alone would decide how ukraine would go forward in this war. albeit diplomatic means are b,

it's our military warfare. and this was a strong signal kind of, she was a strong signal against other than you or the security order, this new world order. so to say that rush i was trying to impose on the rest of the world and also shows on that. poland in a way and other european countries in other countries in the world. i feel threatened by what's happening there by the fight that is being fought against the ukrainians and that their worries that they could be next if, if this were an example that we would that, that countries would give in to what's, what's happening then of course, we would assume that the ukranian president vladimir zalinski was also in that parliament building max. of course he has been declaring that fighting will only and to diplomacy. but has he given any indication of issues he might be willing to compromise on as far was know, as we know, he hasn't given any details on what ukraine may or may not be compromising on. he

said that the end of the fighting, the ultimate end of the war would be decided that the negotiate table. that's right . but he also said that until that could go forward until that could happen. there would be a lot more fighting and a lot more bloodshed, but he has called for, for more sanctions by the west. he has also called for bilateral talks with russia by the way. but here we have to say that the last time actually that the 2 sides got together toward lodge was, was just about a month ago on the 22nd of april. and as far as we know, there are no further talks schedule with we've also heard from military advisor present lensky. to put this into context, who said that there will be no concessions on the battlefield in terms of land gains that the russians have have made. and there will be no cease fire at the moment because this would all only mean and in his opinion that the russians would take a break, regroup, and then fight back even harder. max, the relative. com that we see behind you belies of the war that's raging in the

eastern part of the country in his nightly address on saturdays. zalinski said the situation and dumb boss is extremely difficult as he put it. what's happening there? at this point? went to the eastern good areas and don barza, but took all of the reasons of danielle and wanna have been partially in control of russian back saturday for quite a while. now russia has been for the last couple weeks, shifting their focus to his area and pushing forward with everything that they have in that area. in the nights during the day they've been attacking what was heard from the ukraine, the military, a 60 civilian targets, and they're going after one strategically important town severe on yest, that we have heard that they have the russians, that the russian military has tried to take the for surrounding village they have not succeeded doing so, but military experts expect fierce fighting around civilian asking the next couple of days that some max xander in keep many thinks is always max

corruption and turns trailer into a renewable energy superpower. with the country still reeling from a series of devastating floods. earlier this year, climate change proved to be a decisive issue at the polls. the incumbent, conservative liberal party last seats to labor across the country. but the biggest challenge came from a rising group of independent candidates who focused their campaigns around climate action and cracking down on corruption. the outgoing prime minister scott morrison conceded defeat and announced he had stepping down as leader of the liberals. i've always believed in australians and their judgment, and i've always been prepared to accept their verdicts and to not they have delivered their verdict. and i congratulate antony abernathy in the life of potty and i wish him and his government all the very best to help with vote still be encountered. the new prime minister has not yet secured the 7th. 6 states needed to

achieve an outright majority. and with almost half of australia, 17000000 voters costing the ballot by post. it may be weeks until the final result is known. journalist max walden, ease in melbourne. i asked him how australia's new prime minister plans to act on his campaign promise to tackle climate change. yes, so the light shed the going liberal parties. net 0 by 2050 target. that it has said that quite 2030 a should have rich. it's carbon emissions by 43 percent on 2005 levels. and it proposes to doing this through sort of a range of i think it relates to package of almost $700000000.00. it will spend to try and get there. but as your package noted, the incoming of these independence and the grains may push them to be more

ambitious on the common targets. it's not yet clear whether alban easy will be able to govern alone or in a coalition. what might be the difference for the country in those 2 different scenarios? yeah, i mean of course it labor can rule in a majority. it will have more space to, i suppose execute policy agenda as it wants. but it is looking more and more like we might have, you know, the law just sort of cross bench in history really. i mean the grades and picked up at least one say, and we have a so called teal independence, again running on this clinic, clock climate platform. so it may just say that, like, really has to negotiate with 3rd parties. i'm curious of the perspective of someone who's actually in australia. what if anything,

does albany things when mean for australia's role on the world stage? well, the timing of this is very interesting, of course, because they record meeting with the u. s. india, japan, and australia is coming out this way. so the prime minister will be straight off to tokyo for that meeting. he said earlier, an assignment that you know, he's government would retain the 3. it was a foreign policy being the u. s. alliance. i think i agree with the region, i think he means asian pacific. and thirdly, engagement in multilateral forums. and now he's foreign minister will be malaysian born penny won't be the 1st ethnically, asian foreign minister in australian history. so it will be interesting to see how the rage in response to that and a has committed to almost half a $1000000000.00 extra for the se, asia,

which was sort of caught back under the previous government. so certainly, yeah, it's, i guess engagement with strategies, knives is, is the one to watch. that's a journalist, max walden in melbourne. many, thanks, max. and here are some other stories making news, round the world at this hour. thousands have rallied and is stumble to protest the sentence imposed on a prominent opposition leader turkeys. supreme court upheld the 5 year suspended term handed down to journal. cuffed on journal. she was convicted of insulting. the president critic say it's an attempt to stop her from running in next year's elections. u. s. president joe biden is in japan to strengthen economic ties. biden is setting out his plans for new trade agreement with tokyo. the u. s. leader earlier wrapped up a 3 day visit to south korea, he secured a $10000000000.00 investment from car maker honda. israel and switzerland have

to human rights violations in a completely new way. for instance, the tame constructs models of prisons where people have been detained and tortured . it does so based off interviews with former prisoners, the idea is to help visualize the situation to better expose these tots of violence . and the group often shows their work to the public at exhibitions. forensic architecture uses methods like 3 d modeling, remote sensing and data mining tries to uncover war crimes and human rights violations. findings are published online as well as exhibited at museums. the london based research group aims to push back against propaganda. it sees presenting evidence to the public as a form of resistance. we live in the propaganda where it is about breaking your world view at all where you no longer know what could be right and what could be wrong. how truth and how facts could be established. what

forensic activists need to learn how to do is to slowly piece together this rubble, those bits that were destroyed and piece it slowly together to reconstruct some of our dignity in some, in the truth of, of the facts which we know what happened to us. yell weitzman and his team and forensic architecture use publicly available information to reconstruct various events whether that be a bomb exclusion or the killing of a single person. like the kurdish human rights lawyer tahita chief using video footage, which often comes from social media. he can piece together and architectural muddled. we can then toggle between different perspectives to the european center for constitutional and human rights. and berlin also relies on this technology. the organization has collaborated with forensic architecture to

determine which arms manufacturers are supplying weapons to the warring factions. he entered, gathering this kind of intelligence is vital during war. military's believe they have a monopoly over information in the battlefield. they have the drones and satellites, and spies on the ground in the lot of cameras, a high tech cameras, but citizens have to and now we are able by combining and looking at those images by developing a visual literacy that allow us to understand what it is that we see, and this then how to connect one image to the next and build account a narrative. the team uses artificial intelligence to analyze countless videos. this makes it easier to track troop movements or identify tanks, for example, like here during fighting in eastern ukraine in 2014. this helps forensic architecture draw conclusions about the true sequence of events. and they want to

share their knowledge for us to make evidence politically, to make it public. we do not want evidence to be trapped within the bureaucracy of the law alone in this week. forensic architecture is trying to cast light on and rectify human rights violations across the globe. when you're campaigning for human rights, it's important to take precautions to stay safe from persecution. one place you can find safety, which may surprise paypal is the dark web. it takes special software to connect to the dunk web, the program hines, a uses ip address, keeping identity and location secret. the dock webs anonymous nature makes it appealing for criminals to buy and sell weapons or drugs. but journalists, activists, and people who are politically persecuted, also benefit from conceding their ip addresses. they can access regionally blocked content and communicate without leaving any traces. there's dr. smushed with misty
