reaches the 90 day mark the kremlin, planned for an easy victory, and a quick conquest of keys, but ukraine's defenders defied those expectations. and now russia's army struggles to gain territory in ukraine, south end, and the consequences of russia's war on ukraine loom large over the german chancellor, free country tour of africa. in an exclusive interview, dw, ask, we'll have shorts. what hell could germany should offer? ah, monica jones well come to the program. germany's a foreign ministry is calling for a transparent probe. after more evidence emerged of china's brutal crack down on its predominantly muslim, we go minority,

a cache of documents stuff. the gene john police files was leaked to international media. the files include photographs, insights in junk mass incarceration facilities. a warning to all of us that this report contains distressing images. armed security forces taking a prisoner away. they hold a chair during interrogation, which human rights watch says is used for torture. these disturbing images are from chinese and turman camps in the administrative district of tion. shawn. in 2018. the allegedly show how brutally china treats us weaker minority. the photos were sent to china researcher utley. and since he, since they came from computers belonging to the ministry of public security and northern shin, young region speak unfinished. this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out. we've really never seen anything like it. monique,

as in the research past the data on 214 international media companies, including germany's buycrash, a wonderful and ash beagle and b, b. c. news. after weeks of examining the data, the team of reporters verified and evaluated it. among other findings was a shoot to kill order for prisoners attempting to escape from the internment camps . this doesn't surprise human rights organizations. he not, china is undoubtedly committing crimes against humanity, at least in terms of torture and other mistreatment imprisonment and persecution affordable. the chinese government has yet to respond to a comprehensive inquiry about the research. in an official statement. it said that the mattress taken and she and john were solely directed at terrorist threats, and that the people there quote, live happily. frederick obama from german media outlet, dia spiegel is one of the about 30 investigative journalists behind this story. i asked him what stood out the most and the investigation thinks the most important

thing about that journey. police files is that we now see from places attached to this crime. i got few minutes to receive thousands of people, the pain in cam, northwest, and china. we see a 15 year old children being detained, 2 elderly women that like 70 degree old women, be to take their and 1st of all, at 1st and foremost, we see the argument of the chinese government contracts. the argumentation so far was that this, this location of schools that people out there on their own, well they, they could leave whenever they want. but in the documents that were a leak to us, we see no shoot to kill policy. we see that the reverse in those comes warehouse verify part of the data said consists of more than $5000.00 photos, many of them showing sensitive and security related footage. do we know who to take

them and why? no, we don't know who exactly took notice for just we have hints that it was people working on those comments taking them like for example, much of the people detained there and then like making photos of their exercises of them treating the details in the windows and then the data was obtained by source who leaked it to a german scientist called audrey and said so far we have to think that the source could be a hacker. obviously the data comes from with in the chinese government or the 30 operators. and we were able to independently verify the documents and the photos . i mean, it is a strange thought to think that the handling of the people would be documented in such a way. how do we know or how could you assess that?

these pictures are actually real or not fake. poor 1st and foremost, we did hire independent experts, looked checks the article, 50 of the photos if there were manipulated in any way. then we had a 2nd step. we did to feel ok. those many of those purpose, for example, whenever you could see something in the picture that was outside of the county, for example, was towers and stuff like that. and we were, we were able to locate them with the help of centralized images. we also were able to find information in the metadata of the photos that showed us that they were taken when they could be seen from space. we set the light and then we also were able to speak where we were living outside china, our mentor, who could that the relatives that we have seen on the photos and,

and on the list of id turned into widows that they were disappeared basically several months or even years ago. okay. well, thank you so much, frederick obama, from my german mediately dish speaker, one of the about 30 investigative journalists behind this story. thank you so much for sharing it with us. thanks for having me. 3 months into the ukraine war, the fighting has moved largely to the east of the country. there. russia is making slow progress in its attempt to control the don bass region. some towns outside is key if they're so devastating, fighting are still struggling to recover. dw correspondent max sandra visited the town off hostile mail, where an international team of psychologists are helping residence process the wounds of war. a busy morning at the clinic in the key of suburb hostile no bullet holes in the windows, bear witness to the russian occupation. medical staff have been working round the

clock since the clinic reopened in april because they're dealing with visible and invisible grants. i think is kind of a collective trauma or if you're laclare with people living in the communities, honorable psychologist malcolm hugo has joined. the operation here is part of the international organization, doctors without borders. he just returned from a home visit in the area. some of the woman whose house was completely destroyed was living there with her son. who is sir 30 years of age and her. and unfortunately he was killed her in the driveway boy a rocket. and so she's obviously going through a grading process she's on her own. now. the key of suburbs bore the brunt of the fighting. in the early days of the invasion, that was followed by a ruthless occupation marked by violence against residence. the russians have left reconstruction is underway, but people here are only starting to put their lives back together. the emotional

scars run deep. there are various types of trauma people here are dealing like those who experienced the occupation and extreme levels of violence than others. returning to their homes, see not much left of it. and then there are those who are taken prisoner by the enemy kidnapped, even taken across the board. dr. unusual conditions all make is one of them focus on that. he says russian soldiers shot him in both legs. in front of his home then took him and his son, and you probably lay dropped me on the porch and started to put the gun to my head . and in my mouth, we could assume that the when my son saw this, he got on his knees and screamed, please don't kill my dad now. so they put us in the vehicle. blindfolded off his tables, courtroom tied our hands and took us in an unknown direction you by this evening, just on the pavilion. they were taken across the border to bela bruce than flown to

cost and russia. weeks later, all it was freed than a prisoner exchange. his son still missing? reasonable creditors that australia it, it's you from the inside and you can take away the sorrow with your tears. what is his? i mean, we need destruction. 3 work and life while we're waiting for his fridge or isn't it you will rather than yet the worst or was quarterly reports of there are believe to be hundreds of similar cases in this town alone. you do, although it has joined the team of doctors without borders. seeking to assist the psychologists by sharing his experiences, doing his bit to help others heal. rushes invasion of ukraine has surprised many military analysts who expected fighting to be over very quickly. in said, the 3 months old war has exposed unexpected weaknesses and rushes forces. heavy tube and equipment losses have reportedly heard morale, even war,

and the was initial aims have been severely scaled back. it was supposed to be over in a few days. russian tanks rolled into ukraine from multiple directions from baller us in the norse, separatist controlled parts of ukraine and russia itself in the east and occupied crimea in the south. aiming to decapitate the government by taking the capital keith and capturing as much territory as quickly as possible. but planning and logistics soon proved to be a major problem. a menacing 40 kilometer line of tanks and personnel carriers was spotted heading towards keith. but it soon bogged down and came under ferocious attack. russian tanks were cut off from fuel supplies and abandoned, and the army gave up on heat. in late march, russia shifted its efforts to the east, trying to cut off

a huge chunk of territory south and east of ha keith. but it became clear that the invading army had another problem. command and control officers on the ground had to call senior officials in moscow to make the smallest decisions. meanwhile, dug in ukrainian forces inflicted heavy losses on the russians who made few gains. in fact, around huck eve, they lost a significant territory. generals were called to the front to solve problems, and several were killed in battle. what you images of a botched river crossing. we're a major embarrassment. dozens of tanks destroyed, and hundreds of soldiers killed in what experts say was a desperate attempt to show some kind of progress. as russia's attempts to take new territory, we're scaled back to a small slice of the original aim of taking the entire don best region. it became

increasingly clear that there was a major problem with morale intercepted communications showed russian soldiers discussing sabotaging their own equipment or trying to injure themselves to be sent away from the fighting. that makes it harder and harder to make progress and even hold territory against super motivated ukrainian fighters. the coming weeks will show if russia can hold the territory, it seized. or whether ukraine will push the invaders back to the border go stuff. council is a full mas elijah, was now with the european council on foreign relations. and i asked a if he was surprised by the strength of he cranes resistance. oh yes. say, i mean no, i sold the ukrainians with give a terrific fight and that would definitely be motivated to part i didn't think that

they would sort of track this on into the 3rd months in a, in an organized way. not in a part of some way, the biggest surprise has been the actual did that the multiple failures of the russian armed forces. a lot of things that they claim they would do and could do and have learned and improved actually picked out to be unknown stubs and add to drown coordination and use of the air force is, is the i think most remarkable thing that just doesn't work on the russian side also to have claimed that in syria and they have made by little progress and, and some small as expeditionary forces actually have most of a, some better degree at the ground ordination them done was shown. now, all that is, is kind of a wake up hold up. a lot of the russian military reforms have not used the results that russia against government to now trying to consolidate its hold and territories in the south and east. so what do you think lighting the proteins long

term aims are now well is approaching on the long run still believes that he can teach you train and he can kind of drawing ukrainian on forces it to death by a long war attrition. it's not going to happen quickly, will happen, not this on my mind, happen, new years to come on such a war. he in such a war, he will now sort of trying to enjoy the friends if they're conducting as long as they can. and then rather go for a limited ceasefire like the one agreed in 2015 and resume the war. once russian forces have free group to improve themselves in order to in order to take or what put in still believes is his, i mean that the means ceasefire. and did not provide a lasting peace and, and any sci fi rush on line at this point,

be willing to go for will not provide lasting piece. russia narrative was largely based on security issues. now, we've seen that sweden and finland want to join nato. quite the opposite. android as news agency is, is now quoting the spanish prime minister saying that we didn't feel and will actually join nato as june summit. is this a sign that their application to join the alliance are not moving forward? well, i hope so very much for sweden and finland spot on. russia's warnings. the, the whole security argument is the pretext. russia was never threatened in a military way by ukraine or by, by nature in that regard and putting basically laid out of this region in multiple articles. and then in february, speech is creating the wall. it's about reconstruction, the empire put in things that rush over the lease of life, the 21st century as an independent power. if it becomes an empire again beyond the

borders of the current, russia on green, cooperating regaining. you're better us and, and ukraine on the street or colonial control is what this was about, a nature one way to expand expansion security guarantees. this was the pretext we clearly sold this in the way or in the ramp up of the war by russia was offered so many guarantees and arrangements and declined all of them. that this was certainly not the true intention and the true concern of the russian and stuff. so from the european council on foreign relations, thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. and here are some of the other stories making use around the world. european commission president was left on the line has promised that the european union will help rebuild to ukraine so that it can achieve its democratic aims. speaking of the world economic forum from the line

also proposed using russian assets to finance the post war. reconstruction of ukraine is the last 4 my president. ego dawn has been detained on charges of treason and corruption, though dong had to close relations with russian president vladimir putin while in office. russia says it's concerned he's being persecuted for his political views. london's elizabeth's train line has opened to the public. it's one of europe's biggest infrastructure projects and is expected to carry 200000000 people a year. it is of course, named after queen elizabeth, who was celebrating 70 years on the throne. the line caused 19000000000 pounds or 24000000000 euros to build german chancellor will have shots, has said to end in coal imports from russia before winter will be possible with the help of south africa, a major coal producer. he made these comments on

a visit to johannesburg to meet president sarah, ram, a poser from a pause. a has taken a neutral stance on russia invasion of ukraine. schultz is wrapping up his 1st trip to africa since taking office, which included stops in senegal and measure. in johannesburg, the chancellor sat down for an exclusive interview with d. w. speaking with our chief political editor, michele lacuna shall stress the importance germany, places on its ties with africa. germans has that will have sold we catch up with you here in south africa, your last stop on your 1st africa trip. you start in senegal, you went on to niger, your predecessor angle a mac, or put a focus on africa. what does it feel like for you now to touch down here? for the 1st time, as german chancellor africa's the continent next to europe. and it is of essence that we work intensely to have very good relations with all the states

in africa. and also it is important that we have developed our relations with all the democratic states on the globe. democracy, the rule of law questions that are important for us and not just something that was linked with the so called western countries. it's also very important if we look at all the countries in the world, so south africa to democracy center, gun new girl. and this is why i visited them to my i think it is important that we continue to work together. seeing that the world has a good future if we cooperate, if we understand that there are movie a lot of very relevant states in the future, in the fifty's of the century, we should now make a feasible, the better is a good corporation that we can create a multi lateral but now the how to the ukraine conflicts looms large here. this

is europe being very much busy with itself. there's a war in europe. and at the same time, he, in many countries, particularly those that you visited are set to feel the bronze of the effect. there is a looming hunger crisis. fuel sausages, fertilizer sort of is what responsibility the germany feel to face countries that have nothing to do with this conflict from the 1st russian invaded ukraine, started abroad to war against the neighbor country. and so it is important that we stick together to get the ukraine the chance to defend itself, its integrity and serenity. and this is also important for peace on the globe. we should agreed that there should never again, be and successful attempt to change board us with force. and this is what

russia is trying to do. and this is why we cannot accept. and this is why so many countries are supporting ukraine with financial means with weapons also. and we developed the sanctions regime against russia to convince the russian of leadership that they should go away from the war that they should start negotiations with the ukraine. them that they withdraw the troops from ukraine territory where they invaded the country. and on the other hand, just opposite the that was just obvious that a lot of countries are suffering from this war and from the russian aggression. and this is why we are very decided that we will have countries that are suffering. this is why we started to cooperate and fighting against palm, or the consequences of having a not enough food or for supporting the countries with their own economic

difficulties they have. and this is why we also speak about how we can work together in this very difficult crisis. but the best thing to do is ending the war . and if russia stopped, it's aggression and would be ready for a peace. this would be the best for the whole globe. what concrete assistance can countries like, for instance, a don somalia night are expected. we are working on supporting the board foot program and we are starting to gather an initiative against the shorter trips that are coming up now. and we will work together with the countries on the unit global level together with the united nations. and this is what we are trying to convince all other countries that have to means to do so to do together with us. well, i saw a chance of germany on his 1st trip to africa. thank you very much. thank you. and
