7:03 pm
important outcrop in the black sea that's become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. and i say that the toll of russia's onslaught has been exacerbated by moscow's outdated arsenal. missiles built in the 19 sixties and seventies, with primitive guidance systems that can miss targets by up to a kilometer. but ukrainian forces are fighting what they call indiscriminate terror with precision new satellite guided missile systems from the u. s. are starting to make a difference. i'm a bill of the artillery rocket systems or high mars, with a range of over 60 kilometers, are already slowing russian advances with just a handful of these systems deployed. and more weaponry is on the way u. s. made the air defense systems with the capability to take out not only enemy planes, but also missiles are set to arrive within weeks. but until more help arrives,
7:04 pm
ukraine. civilian population is left facing the possibility of russian terror striking at any moment. the w corresponded nick connelly joins us from keith. nick, we've had more reports of explosions. name nikolai of bring us up to date. we'll find out the authorities. there are staying pretty tight lipped about the details. we heard from some officials on the ground talking about 14 people wounded and in total they said in the region, there are over 250 people who are in hospital. how many wounded in recent days and weeks, that's the total figure for recent casualties. i think the important thing to basically pay attention to here is that mac alive is a new focus for fighting ukraine's actually making progress there and pushing the russians back while russian folk forces are focused on don bass on the east of the country. so now increasing the russians are answering in kind or attacking, michel, i of the regional capital. we've seen residential buildings hit there. so
7:05 pm
a sense there that this is an area that is seeing increasing casualties as the fighting intensifies. and as ukraine pushes its advantage shirt back, nick, we also hear about more and more weapons deliveries from the west. how much more high tech weaponry does ukraine need to launch a proper counterattack? we've already seen defect western weapons in snake islands. basically, everyone hearing here agrees that that would not have been possible without those western systems. that's 1st of all anti ship rockets and made it impossible for the russians to restock and re supply their garrison there. and then it was the rocket artillery, the high more systems that allowed ukraine to hit that island from the crane and controlled coastline of the desert regions didn't have to fly planes or drones or send rockets that they were able to basically batter the russian forces. there with a constant stream of those artillery shells, and that is basically to something they weren't able to do until those systems arrived. but i think in terms of the quantity, they still really, really,
7:06 pm
really struggling in those high more systems. ukraine for now. and he has 4 of them that they say they need the dozens, if not hundreds of them to really be able to have a child pushing russia out of ukraine. and for now, you see basically along the front lines ukraine playing for time, hoping that they can make russia pay a higher price possible for every street, for every town it takes. and basically wait for the time to work in ukraine's favor . and for those supplies. finally reached for loans. nick, you mentioned the black, the outpost of snake island. can you just clarify it? russian troops have reportedly abandoned dead, but you can't says it's still contested. we've seen the russians, even though they said that they had left snake island as a gesture of good will. as they put it rather was not something that didn't really commit anyone here in ukraine or abroad for that matter. they have been bombing the island, but it seems to be that they are bombing using phosphorus, emissions to be destroy their equipment. they left there, they left in rather a hurry. so i said to worry that they were there equipment, maybe high tech,
7:07 pm
couldn't would be left of the ukrainians for now there are no ukrainians on there. and i think for ukraine, it was more important to get the russians out and actually to put their own troops there. that island was basically a forward position. had the russians tried to take a desa to launch or an invasion by sea of that desa region, ukraine's only remaining coastline under government control. so i think for ukraine, getting them out there out, there is more important than putting their own soldiers there because any ukrainian soldiers also they kind of see going to have a very, very difficult time in the face. lots of russian attacks. so lots of shooting lots fighting but you know, the most port take away for ukraine is that the russians are out and in the 2nd from the weaker position economy and give, thank you very much. ukraine has asked turkey to detain a russian flag ship. the key of stairs was or is carrying stolen ukrainian grain. the vessel is anchored off the turkish bites the port of carol. so you can see as it sailed from the ukrainian port of betty ann's,

which is under russian control. he has accused russia of stealing crops from places, forces occupying their enjoins is following the story for us from his sample. we asked him if turkey has the legal authority to impound the ship? well if it is sir just mod off carrasco, it presumably is in turkish territory waters that's not at the moment confirmed. but having said that the ship would have to pass through the basra straits a here in east amble. and that would give the opportunity for turkey to stop the ship, although that could cause a mate. a diplomatic incident with russia as they are very strict rules on the use of the basra st. that guarantee ships that they should be able to pass with impunity. but turkey suddenly would have an opportunity. the turkish foreign minister, metal chavez, shola, had said they all ready to cooperate over any claims of stolen grain. this comes after thee a ukrainian ambassador. the turkey had accused turkey companies of you of are buying stolen grey. now turkey said they are investigating those claims, they are ready to cooperate. but this whole question puts, took in
7:09 pm
a very difficult position, is the position itself is a balancing a facilitator to bring up and to this conflict has good relations with both moscow anc here, and it's also working to create a grain cordele to get these millions of tons of grain on till wild market, given that there is a world food shortage. but turkey now is in a very tight spot is under pressure on data from care. but it also will be facing pressure from moscow as well. now to some other stories, making headlines, rescue teams they, hong kong are searching for over 2 dozen crew members of a ship that a typhoon split in half. a managed to rescue 3 people so far. i from chombo made land full in southern china. heavy wind and rain are expected to lash the regions through monday. a 6 point free magnitude earthquake has left at least 5 people dead and dozens injured in iran. the epi center was in the south, near almost gone province, state media, se the quite was felt in neighboring countries run is in an area of strong seismic activity. ours,
