[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin me and mom executes for pro democracy activists. the men had challenged last year's military coup rights group say they were

murdered and corporate international action against the regime. also coming up different forces and to retake the occupied class on regent. despite being outgunned by russian troops, the contra offensive could mark turning point for control of the black sea and fires rage across greece as a heat wave pushes temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. it's the latest european country to face large wildfires that are linked to climate change ah i'm gather of as well come to the program. me a mars military government has executed for political prisoners, including a prominent lawmaker and a well known democracy, activists before men had challenged last year's military coup among those killed were p. o z. i saw a member of the elected ruling party and the veterans activist, charming, you better known as co,

jimmy military accused or for men of being involved in terrorist killings. the executions have been condemned by observers including united nations and the united states. many more political prisoners are facing similar charges and for more on that story, we can go straight to i'm and 10 a journalist from a mere mom who lives a now in exile. now what more can you tell us about these 4 men and the circumstances of their executions? so to the men, as he had thought and go, jimmy were deeply involved in activists and activism and happened involved in the pro democracy movement. since the 990 s appeals yet ball was seen as one of the grandfathers of our hip hop. and really pioneered a form of innovative and subversive music to resist at the previous. and that he

lived under and called jimmy was part of this to the movement. in 1988, i rode up against the then hunter and the other 2 lamar and after us are not as much as known about them. but we do know that they were acted in the days after the to interesting. there's also not that much know actually about the actual execution . but the assumption is that these men were hum, this is the form of execution that was favored in the past, but we don't have confirmation on, on those things. and yet, and the families have confirmed to local media that they were allowed to meet with the last friday. and so with the other, there's not a 100 percent confirmation that these when have been executed. the given everything that the media has seen in the last couple days or the assumption is that the executions have carried out. now those are executions. half course international outrage, japan b u. s. even china

a seems to be concerned. do the international reactions to this or have any effect laquanta i think what we seen from the hunters that they are, are largely immune to what the statements of condemnation and even some of the less direct forms of pressure that has been applied to them. you know, there's been sections, there's been a repeated condemnations from a around the world ever since. they conducted the crew last february. but we are what are the people who are seeing is continual escalation of the violence 1st that was attacking protesters. then it was nitrate and the rest and then it was attacking civilian villages. and now we're also seeing that they are carrying out that penalty sentence is something that hasn't been done in min more since at the late 19 eighties. now, what do you think is the likely effect of these executions on the democracy

movement in melbourne? so the parallel civilian government, the national unity government, which is which has risen up in a response to the qu, has called it an attempt to threaten people with fear so that the hunter is able to grip its power or firmly. however, the country is already in open revolt in an open what has been called the defense of war against the military. and so it's quite unlikely that at least for dance, which, you know, add a number to the over what 2100 people who've already been killed. the crew is likely to accomplish the military's goal of instantly more fear in the public. and indeed, it's more likely that it will incite more anger. and indeed, today we've already seen a tax on various military institutions including state television. now whether you very briefly, if you can, where do you see the country go in the next 6 months, 12 months?

oh so entry has largely been in a sort of a stalemate in these armed conflicts that has risen up in the last year or so. um, i think what we're likely to see is continued. i battles, especially in the central parts of the country as well as in the border areas. and we're gonna continue to see displacement. our goal to continue to see this sort of slow rolling economic crisis that has seen it 30 percent contraction of them in my economies. since the who has happened, as well as the increasing rate of poverty which are there was a recent report out by the un, which said that the poverty level is not 40 percent the country i'm into the journalist from you. my thank you very much. now the ukrainian military says it is preparing a counter offensive in the southern hassan region now occupied by russian forces.

president vladimir zalinski has vowed to take back the region, which would increase ukraine's access to the black sea. but ukrainian troops are still outgunned by russian forces. one, so they urgently need more advanced weapons from the west. the ravages of war have left this village uninhabited, except for a few stray pets and these ukrainian fighters as they wait for the order to begin. ukraine's promised pushback towards the strategically and symbolically important city of capstone. currently, under russian control, this village is just kilometers from harrison, but on the ukrainian controlled side of the front line, the signs of devastation are everywhere in what's left of this settlement in his nightly address president followed him as a lensky vow to take back her son and said ukrainian troops were already making headway there. the addition was up as a 1st of all, we can say now that in the hands on region, the occupiers tried to gain

a foothold. the collaborators made various brazen statement. but how did it help them or the armed forces of ukraine are advancing, step by step in the region. look like to publish these fighters, see it as their duty to future generations of ukrainians to resist russian occupation. hassan roland. so thoughtful, we will liberate harrison. that's for sure. moscow. long valley, we won't give it away to the russians, lee. that's why we're here. we will say that our children won't have to fight any more. they will you all the so that we can resolve this war issue now. and for evelyn was as a baton your us. some of these men fear they will be hopelessly outgunned by the enemy. will dominique without much, will, are clearly we really don't have enough artillery here to see if we fire 8 times at them, or should they fire back 48 times for now they have superiority in artillery last

with through. you can sort of course in different one, come when you go through and both ukranian officials and western analysts fear the imminent battle for harrison could be the start of the bloodiest phase of the war so far. now from all, we can bring into w correspondent, her fun, if a child who is in ukraine's capital key of funny tell us more about the ukraine's counter offensive against russia in castle. it's very inconclusive. this very moment. what exactly is happening at that line of contact that the front line between russian and ukrainian forces, as russian forces i try to bolster their positions and ukrainian forces are trying to do everything that you retake her so city that they lost early on in the war and the fact that a lot of people in ukraine, he and he, if a question why that was the play at why that was the case. what we do know that preparations were really underway, that is leading up to what seems to be imminent right now. a major counter

offensive by ukrainian forces preparations to really caught the supply lights for russian forces by hitting a bridge and major bridge. they're near has some city last week that ukraine and forces were able to damage. we do not really know what is going to happen as really ukraine and russian forces. i go to battle each other, all the house and city, but people are certainly worried and very much concerned that it is like going to be the biggest bloodshed and like a bethel within the will itself since the war has begun more than 5 months ago. now if any rushes foreign minister sergey le love roth is currently touring africa, and during this tour, he stated that russia's goal is actually regime change in ukraine. others going back to us earlier statement that the leadership question was up to the ukranian people. how have these words been received in huge the 1st and foremost ukrainian people who really, i'm just saying this is never going to happen. it's never going to happen that what

lover of said that russians and ukrainians are going to live together, there's no way not even a form of reconciliation, let alone that ukraine is going to be occupied a by russia and that they're going to lose their independence, which of course, echoes with what president zalinski, sad and laid out there last night, saying that if russia had known the history of ukraine than russia would have not even attacked, nobody would have even attacked ukrainian 1st place. so clearly ukraine really wants to show there's no way that ukrainian forces are going to back down that they're going to give up on territory or even start some sort of a, some sort of a negotiation of a suit and pause that are on the rush in control really what is interesting in this entire debate. now, what it actually means when lover of sas, that zalinski is not going to be the one to deal with in the future. who's going to govern this country? who is it going to be then? and 2nd, the, what does it mean also here for the cap of the sitting key for i am. that's been relatively spirit from attacks of recently. does it mean that indiscriminate

shelling is going to start to hit keith escape people off really, this is what makes people very anxious as they listened to what law firm had to say there. for them, it's funny for each other and q for thank you. funny. now russia's blockade of ukrainian pauses left millions of tons of grain trapped in storage. in the midst of a global food supply, crisis talks broke it by turkey. and the united nations finally bore fruit last week when ukraine and russia made a deal to allow grain exports to resume, but less than 24 hours later, russian missiles struck ukraine's main port of odessa and attack that ukrainian officials call a violation of the agreement. russia's defense ministry says the missiles hit military targets and did not affect grain exports. now, with a grain shipping deal supposedly in place, sized earlier spoke to an economic advisor to the zelinski administration. timothy

miller van off and i asked him if, after the russian attack on the city of a desa, ukraine is learning again, not to trust the russian deal makers. what's new here is the fact comes immediately after the deal being signed, because usually at the label can i have seen that you're right. i'm in the government as an advisor as well was to step on while and just before the deal. and so then when the deal is strong, then they kind of lay off for a couple of weeks, sometimes for a couple of months and then come back. so the lot will be here the attack immediately after the deal. so there are 2 reasons for that in mind. you why it's actually a sign of domestic issues that the russian government has to demonstrate that the deal is not to sweep for your brain that they will continue to die. and the other

one is to increase the. busy or sipping grain, basically my scaring garment company. so i think yes with a warning and the nar. busy is learning the russian is not to be trusted, but unfortunately this is all labor day. here was the artillery and we have to next spring. now, what does it mean to you crime if millions of tons of ukrainian grant is not allow a passage for the black sea for to present those experts before the war, adjust the agriculture and we are a small one over the economy. so expert critically important for disability, dental, millions of dollars, bentley needed right now in ukraine. 2 thirds of all expert was going through until supports we have been able to increase some of the capacity. you have to sold in the new prima, but it's still limited. so on you,

we're able to bring it back to full capacity to be able to expert to stockpile or green, maybe in the next 4 months. but the with might be a loss for hulu. and it also means that all farmers will not plant grain in the fall. now you are farmers, of course, very concerned about this. why, what about the rest of the world? what does it mean for the rest of the world? northern africa, middle east, and some of the asian congress rely on your brand for food security. ukraine is the leader. one of the leaders in the white brains include in warren sunflower. we know some others that basically means food security issues and political in the buick especially more bad all around. now i know you have the ear of president zelinski. let me switch gears now and ask you about the re, his recent sacking of both the head of ukraine security service and his prosecutor

. you have said these moves are a sign of strength. why? during the war it's very difficult to recycle the cabinet or let alone do any changes to. busy enforcement agencies because you're basically doing 90 percent of the racial issues and only 10 percent of strategies. busy busy ah, coins and the fact that the government and the president, the lens, he can do changes and appointments, the just a. this is a great sign that they've gone over. wow. been look over. wow. that's why i'm saying it's a science friends. ok. but as the president himself said, they were fired and part for legibly treasured treasonous acts by dozens of the employees working against ukraine. for russia, that sounds a bad is the security apparatus in ukraine massively infiltrated

it has historically been infiltrated. now, you know, i don't have the numbers, but i would say it's a single needed, so maybe even less than that. but then because $1014.00, you know, you will be leaders, the leadership rush. and so, you know, in the change by additional factors that if you were in wartime you really need different kind of leaders. and some people who were. 1 behalf of the agencies or different ministries they demonstrate based off of the challenge other you know, the. busy minute you timothy mill of on of adviser to president zelinski. thank you very much for your time. thank you. you will change it up in you still to come. a long awaited apology. pope frances visits canada to seek forgiveness from indigenous peoples for years of horrific abuse at schools run

environmental organizations that i've been talking to are criticizing the government though, or not having learned from the mistakes last year. they say that yes, some important investments were done, but they say that the focus is still not on prevention. the way it should be. for example, the forest need to be clear out of that the trees are falling off branches after the winter, so that fires can spread as easily. and they also stay that local authorities need to communicate a lot better along each other. every region has very individual needs to focus on. and they also say that the governments of the investing much more and buyers fighters than in policemen. po francis is in canada where he is expected to apologize to members of the indigenous community for abuses committed by catholic priests. canadian government commission found that generations of indigenous children suffered physical and sexual abuse in state funded schools that

were run by the catholic church for decades. church hot pushed back on kohls for paypal apology until now. the tiny, mostly indigenous village of mask watches is buzzing to make way for the pope and the expected apology right here from the head of the catholic church. frances has already acknowledged the churches shocking indifference to indigenous life and culture at schools where the church was once contracted to teach and nurture. first nations children. many like bruce cut, knife were taken from their parents, taken from their traditions and language. cut knife now lives outside edmonton, a 100 kilometers up the road from where his school once stood. and the majority of us didn't speak english. and we didn't understand teacher. and sometimes we didn't respond properly for which you would be slapped in the face. much worse, residential schools contracted to the catholic churches were sometimes home to

sexual predators in the guise of clergy or staff. earlier this year at the vatican, pope francis invited members of canada as cree nation for an audience. the library will even built for the deplorable behavior of those members of the catholic church . i ask forgiveness from god. and i would like to tell you from the bottom of my heart, that i am very pained when i joined my brother bishops from canada, in apologizing to you. now indigenous people wait to hear the pope say something similar on canadian soil. bruce cut knife says he has mixed feelings about the visit and doesn't plan to be there. i can understand the anger and vitriol, many people have expressed, especially on social media because of what they feel. the church and residential school has harmed. there are family not only themselves, but their parents,
