[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin plans for a referendum in russian hill. his home are put on hold. pro moscow officials had been discussing a vote on the region, joining russia,

but ukraine's counter offense. that means their plans are quote on pause for now. also coming up, list trucks will become britain's 4th prime minister in 6 years when she's appointed to day. as she takes over a country and crisis, we ask, what's her plan? plus the dark side of indonesia is dowry tradition. d w here is how some men see kidnapping their bride as an easier way into marriage. now a new law against sexual violence hopes to change that ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have be with us. russian installed authorities in southern ukraine are delaying a referendum on whether casalene should become part of russia. official cited the security situation, a rare acknowledgement of the ukrainian counter offensive. their cube says it's

making progress and has taken several settlements in southern and eastern ukraine. this video obtained by reuters appears to show soldiers raising a ukrainian flag and one small town in on region began its long awaited counter attack. last week. early i spoke to our correspondent nick connelly, and i asked him whether the postponement of the plant annexation referendum in cas on is a sign that ukrainian forces are making progress on retaking the region. i think it definitely is. we didn't really ever have a concrete date, but we did understand they wants to hold this referendum, which really reminds us of what russia versus playbook was in crimea back in 2014, around kind of the middle of this month of september. i don't think they are going to give up on trying to do that, but certainly for now, that is not because it's just to right now in his own seemingly hourly shilling of rush positions that by ukraine. lots of video on social media. it's very difficult to verify of attacks on russian buttons that pose,

but also on the infrastructure on the bridges across the new pro river. i think it's important to remember that this is a very localized offensive. this is just about the west bank of the pro river, the small section of territory that rush controls the easy for you to isolate and cut off from supply. this is not bigger this note about the much bigger part of 70 crime that is still fairly comfortably in russian hands. but certainly this is a blow. and we have see been seeing russian pro government blog as being a bit more open there about the damage that the force to doing. and really kind of warning and demanding more in the way of supplies and military focus from rush. these have to prevent really crane making roads if that phone is really important, symbolic target, this was the 1st major city that russia was able to take me crane right at the beginning of the war with a pretty shambolic ukrainian defense. so if it proves possible to retake the city that really will be assigned to ukrainian for those. who do i, why to will ukraine is able to really push back this russian tied talk to us nick

about this apparition, nuclear plants or ukraine's president. believe me, as lensky says, it's on the burge of disaster. what's going on at that power plant right now. this is a very, very dangerous situation. this is europe's biggest nuclear power plant, one of the biggest world wide, and one that is on the front lines. and we've seen the video and photo images on the internet that show seems, show russian military positions where the russian military kit, on the territory of that nuclear power stations. sometimes even within, inside the structures of this power plant, as we understand any one of the 6 boxes currently operational. but there is shilling going on every day in it around that plant. and we saw those in sessional monitors from those outside, but he's trying to come in trying to get an idea of what's the situation the ground . they still haven't released their report in full, but there is a feeling that this is a time bomb. and unless this pamphlet is fully shut down, this is something that could relate because it may oppose hom, running to people in ukraine,

but also to most of europe. i think it was important to remember that it's not just the danger of a direct hit, but even if the power plant is operational, if for instance, the energy supply to the plant is interrupted, sometimes that could affect the cooling and could lead to the kind of disaster that we saw in tional, so it's not just about direct hit. it's about any kind of interruption to the work of this pamphlet that is exceedingly dangerous to hundreds of thousands, not millions of people in this part of europe. nick, thank you very much for an hour. correspond nick connelly, they're in chip will fighting around is operation. nuclear plant has pushed many ukrainians to flee the russian occupied area there was wanting to leave must passed a russian military checkpoint. that opens just once a day. they're forced very often to wait there for hours and to undergo body searches. still for many, the risk of staying behind is too great. the region south of zap arisia feels like no man's land. rockets poke out of the asphalt. a destroyed petrol station lies

abandoned. you have to get through russian checkpoints and drive through here. if you want to leave the russian occupied south of ukraine, then there's the cues and the waiting also both more and more ukrainians are fleeing the occupied southern territories where life has become unbearable. this family left out of concern for the children and usually a little dave brought freshman bookstore schools and threatened to go from door to door to take the children back and force them to attend. the russian school gifted off, but we don't want them to go there middle school and was not a broken windscreen. didn't stop these ukrainians from leaving. they no longer felt safe in the area surrounding the nuclear power plant. if there is a power outage and a cooling system fails, we all know that there can be a nuclear meltdown any 2nd. this woman got her children and parents out months ago

to her son and safety. now she's decided to follow with her dogs going. everyone who doesn't want to cooperate with the russians is leaving the city why they're leaving. because the russians are ordering everyone to get a ration pass 40. it appears she left just in time. ukrainian troops have since launched a long awaited counter offensive to retake the russian held regions surrounding harrison with the fighting intensifying. people have been urged to leave. now to the u. k, where liz truss is set to become prime minister today as follows. 2 months of campaigning, sparked by the resignation of prime minister boris johnson. the outgoing prime minister has just left downing street for the last time he. johnson bowed to support his successor, and he urged the conservative party to unite behind trust. strengthening the economy will be among the new prime ministers most pressing tasks with u. k. facing

a cost of living crisis and soaring energy prices, rock and roll. for more of a spring in our correspondent barbara vessel, who's standing by in london, barbara list trusses, inheriting a country in crisis. what are the biggest issue she'll have to face immediately as prime minister? the biggest issue of course, is the energy crisis. prices are exploding. how cells are looking at if 3 fold increase at the new year, the beginning of next year. and it's even worse for small, medium businesses, because they might be looking at, increases up to 10, hold off what they've been at paying so far. so this is insupportable, as well for private citizens as a, as for bridge business and less trust, we'll have to deal with this very quickly immediately. now there is talk already in british newspapers about she might come in was a price freeze, and that means the government is moral as a, giving

a credit to the energy companies. and that is going to be paid back over decades. whether that will be the are and so we don't quite know yet, but of course the pressure on her is enormous to act very quickly. well, lose trust will also be having to act on the world stage and a difficult time in frontier. politics must be said what, what will start with a relations between the u. k and brussels, so they present tense is to say the least likely to change any underline trust if it will change a little might probably change to the worst, terry because what she wants to do is more less, immediately emptied. put the a northern ireland protocol on ice, that means the sort of break the bricks. it breaks a deal, the breakfast contract and processes already issued some stern warnings and said, please do not do that. this is not what we need at the moment at all. the if practical details we can iron out, but if she basically sort of threatens the whole contract and that means

a trade war might be emerging between the u and u. k. and the big question here is, do we all of us at this point in time, really need a trade war between europe and the u. k. the odds of can only be no. bell, boris johnson. the outgoing mister, it has just said good bye at downing street. let's listen. it is only a couple of hours i will be in balmoral to see her majesty the queen and the torch will finally be passed to a new conservative leader. the battle him will be handed over in what is unexpectedly turned out to be a relay race. they changed the rules half way through, but never mind that now. they changed the rules half way through. that sounds like boris johnson is saying he's been cheated out of his jaw. barbara, absolutely. boris at his best one last time here in downing street. because he is

marla saying they treated me meanly. what really happened is, of course, that he didn't stick to the rules, which he very well knew. however, that is his own version of history. he is very adept to sort of a doing that sort of fitting the narrative around his own wants and desires. and however, he also alluded to his super great, it is chief months in office that he got the economy going and he said he, i put the cash in to people's pockets that they can withstand the coming winter. and the energy crisis now and millions of britons might beg to differ at that point . so this was really vintage boris johnson and the worst. maybe there was a sly illusion to a possible come back because he quoted a year. and she and roman patrician a guy who had been chased away and had to go back to his farm in the countryside and then came back and had this is this glorious come back. however, as a dictator,

whatever boston smudged to say, the british people and his successor was that quote, is not quite certain. harper, thank you very much for an hour. our proposal there just to outside of number 10 downing street where we've got a changing of the guard today. thank you so much. take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. canadian police say one of the suspects in a series of fatal stabbings has been found dead. they are still searching for his brother who may be injured. the 2 are accused of killing 10 people and injuring 18 in saskatchewan province. when the deadliest attacks and canadas history rescue workers are searching for 100, still stranded by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake. that struck southwestern china with at least $65.00 people were killed in the monday event in such one province. the quakes set off landslides in

a mountainous area on the edge of the tibetan plateau. a powerful typhoon has hit south korea, forcing thousands to evacuate typhoon him, nor battered the south of the country and left $66000.00 homes without electricity . after it down the power lines, the storm has now moved back out to sea and is expected to pass north west of japan . israel's president isaac had soc, is in germany for events commemorating the 1972 munich olympics massacre in the past hour. he has been addressing the parliament here in berlin, had sought underscore the importance of remembrance day after germany apologized for miss handling the munich massacre. 50 years ago in which 11 israeli olympic team members died. touching on germany and israel's relationship today, he urged both countries to fight anti semitism together and not to forget the past and of vancho. it's more they don't,

the music only development out there. it is not easy to critically engage with remembrance you more careful, it's shakes us. i reg'lar go my name. it is complex for the germans as well. a sure shall visual motion. there are those who deny every thing called michael or feel guilty, wealth and a hell of a want to put the past behind them. read a shot record in israel to remembrance is painful. serve a hot name love whether we wanted or not. the remembrance of the holocaust is a quintessential part of our identity, which a lot of i, but i, remembrance of these atrocities is not easy. or a man or alcohol are ma'am or chief political correspond melinda crane has been following present household speech shines with me here. in studio and the importance of remembrance was that the main point of counseling speech, it was but in conjunction with the responsibility that is entailed,

that comes from that remembrance. and in that sense, he talked about the remembrance as not only a duty to the victims of the holocaust, the showa, but also as a duty to the future to ensure of course that such crimes will never be repeated. and in that context, he quoted his own father in a very moving way. his father was not only the 1st is railey president, to speak to the bonus tug in 1987. so 35 years prior to this, but also was with the british armed forces that fried the concentration camp. bergen belsen, which president hat's of this president has. uh, we'll visit later on. and he said that his father said about that freeing of bagging bells, and that only the victims themselves have the right to forgive. but that all of us have the duty to remember for their sake,

but also with the implications in terms of responsibility for the future. so a lot of remembrance, but also again looking forward to the israeli president, touched on geo politics that towards the end of his speech, she referred to iran's nuclear ambitions. what he say about that indeed he did. and he basically did derive a german responsibility from the crimes of the holocaust. also in regard to stopping iran. as he said, he said iran is dedicated to israel's destruction. he said that same thing, by the way, when he met a reserve and president stein meyer on sunday. and that d, a cord currently being negotiated by germany and other powers to try to get iran to return to the 2015 nuclear deal. he said on sunday, in somewhat more direct speech is toothless and watered down,

and that it must be stopped somewhat more diplomatically. he indicated the same here to the one does talk today. a very important moment in germany is really relations right now. we've seen a compensation agreement for the victims of the musical impacts. massacre finally agreed after so long. what is all this say about german is really relations right now, melinda? well, the reason that we're hearing not only the 2 speakers today, stress the duty to remember and the special responsibility that germany has to israel. but also yesterday at the commemoration in munich at the air field where the israeli hostages, most of them were killed. 2 were killed in the olympic village of course. but the reason we're hearing this stressed so forcefully by all of the speakers is that in fact we are seeing a divergence in german and israeli attitudes when it comes to exactly this point. with the majority of his ria israeli saying, this is an ongoing responsibility that germany has for the jewish people and for

the israeli state, where as a minority of germans see it that way. and in fact, nearly half of germans say it's time to draw a line under history that will be regarded by many, many people, including within the german political leadership with alarm, as will a further finding a recent study that fully a quarter of german say that jews have too much power in the world, an anti semitic trope that clearly is being fermented by social media, by hate sites, sites hate speech sites. and that's one reason we heard the president of the bonus talk today, emphasizing the importance of political leadership to fight ingrained anti semitism, which she said is at the heart of german political culture or german culture in many ways. under thank you so much, he political correspond melinda cray cell. pakistani authorities in
