a turning point in the war against russia. also coming up european commission president, also a funder line, proposes a sweeping emergency plan to deal with surging energy costs, which he says has been caused by russians war on ukraine. and the cascades carrying queen elizabeth the 2nd will be brought from buckingham palace to westminster hall . later today, along the tendons, members of the public, have counted 1000 overnights, waiting to stand in line to say, or opportunity to see the late monarch lying in states. ah, i manuscripts mckinnon. welcome to the program. ukraine has announced far reaching gains in the east of the country after a lightning counter offensive president laudermill zalinski has been visiting the

newly liberated town of indian, which is a key supply hub. just days ago, the town was still under russian control, and ukraine says it has liberated 8000 square miles in the hockey region. the key is also reporting that troops a learning of atrocities, allegedly committed by russian forces under 6 months of occupation. prosecutors have launched a war crimes prob, elsewhere that been scenes of joy as ukrainian forces arrive in communities now abandoned by russian forces. ah, a mother reunited with her son. he had been fighting in the ukrainian army for days in the hockey region under his unit liberated his home village. oh my son, i have been reading for you all. i have kept all your things everything. they said

that our minds in the apartment. um, are you looking good? as always, i missed his so much ukrainian soldiers follow a trail of destruction as they press that back. russians are in a headlong retreat, shedding that equipment as the fallback. visually, they were running like mice. they were running and abandoning everything vehicles the wrong man. they even abandoned one of the rhone who was wounded just to get away. the kremlin denies reports that the military setbacks adorning people against president vladimir putin. a russian support, the precedent in the mood of the people confirms the people stand firmly behind the decisions made by the head of stage diverse. but as ukraine continues to roll by games made by russian forces early in the water on a hooton's decision to invade ukraine through them, i could come back to haunt him. look at it. mike martin is an author and speaker on

conflict, and he joins me now from london. welcome back to the w, mike, and most reports from ukraine's hockey region are suggesting that russian troops fled the advancing ukrainian military that they abandoned their equipment. what does this tell us about the current state, the current mindset of the russian army? yeah, you know, you're exactly right. the ukrainians, punched through the russian lines and got behind them, taking out the logistics, causing the russians to flee. what this tells us is that whereas previously the russian army were poorly trained, they were conscripts, we know that many of them didn't want to go there. and they're also now terrified. we've had reports of them changing to civilian clothes, rushing away, abandoning their equipment, getting into civilian civilian cars. they're in a very bad way. all right. and now some are suggesting that this could be a turning point in this war,

is that premature may be i think it's a turning point and not the turning point. your viewers will remember. in april the russians declared that they were going to focus on the dunbar. and what they were really telling us then was that they were no longer trying to decapitate ukrainian regime and take over the whole country. and so they withdrew their forces from around. that was the 1st turning point. what we've just seen now is the 2nd turning point, what the cranes have done. they've liberated some reports, a $9000.00 square columns as a territory. effectively what they've done is they've pushed the russians out the whole of the northeast of ukraine. and because of the territory they hold, they hold some very key logistics hubs and the russians the most, that logistics by rail. and so they hold to key railway junctions in compounds. and it is you. and that makes it much harder for the russians to fight in the country.

so i definitely think that this is the 2nd turning point. and i think there's one more turning point to come. and what the trainees need to do, and your viewers will know the russians hold in the east the country and they hold along the black sea coast and they hold in crimea in the south. the country ukraine is need to split. the russian forces into, to suspect that the 3rd turning point will be when the ukrainians turn their attention to the black sea coast that sits between the dumbass and the east and the crimea. the crimean region in the south. so what are the chances of that happening? i mean, will the ukrainian army be able to maintain its momentum now? yeah, i think there's 2 things that factor into that one is on the russians able to stabilize that front line because at the moment, although it's not quite as bad as it was over the weekend for the russians, they're still falling back in lots of areas. the crane is still attacking,

so are the russians able to get a grip of that fear that we were talking about and stabilize their front line? the 2nd thing that's important is the type of warfare that the gradients have been fighting, which is fast and aggressive. this mechanized warfare, that's quite logistics intensive, so you need to get fuel to those vehicles, lots of ammunition, and you need to rotate the troops is very exhausting the troops to do. does the ukraine? does ukraine have a strategic reserve that it's able to use to deploy into that fight? and i'm, we don't, we don't know is the answer. and obviously this is some of the ukrainians keeping very quiet, but we're not aware of whether they have enough or not. now it's been suggested that this war is likely to continue for months, possibly for years. and what's happening now has this changed in the light of the latest ukrainian successes? i think the way that this war was always going to end was that ukraine was going to

inflict defeat on the russian armed forces within the boundaries of the crate. and that was going to cause problems for putin's leadership. so we've seen over the last few days, that number of local counselors have come out against putin and receive lots of support from, from russians. or we've also seen some of the pundits on russian tv starting to question what's going on. so i think this is the. busy stages the rumblings of discontent as to when the was going to ends up. i would imagine that unless something spectacular happens unless the ukrainians managed to get that 3rd strike in that we spoke about down to the black sea coast. the war is unlikely to end before winter, so before november, so it's only 2 months time. and that means, you know, over winds, everything slows down. it's much more difficult to do the just sticks. and so that means next spring or summer is probably looking to be the time when the war comes a conclusion. i think it comes to the conclusion in ukraine's favor mike martin in

london. as always, thanks so much. thank you very much. and apologize for the slight audio problems we had there. now the president of the european commission says that a united europe will prevail over russian president vladimir putin in her annual state of the union address to the european parliament. as lafond alliance and europe had shown courage and strength following reference invasion of ukraine, he stressed the unshakable solidarity with ukraine, adding that sanctions against russia will stay in place. the you commission president also added that russia's war and ukraine was a war on europe's economy. and its values much is at stake, not just for ukraine, but for all of europe and the world at large. and we will be tested tested by those who want to exploit any kind of division between us.

and this is not only a war unleashed by russia against ukraine. this is also warn our energy. it's a warn our economy. it's a war on our values. it is a war on our future. it is about autocracy against democracy. and i stand here with a conviction that risk the necessary courage and with the necessary solidarity putting will fail and ukraine and europe will prevail no correspondent alexandra phenomena was following that speech in strasburg. and she gave us her assessment well, this years state of the union address was very different from the speech that we

heard here last year when the mood worse, more optimistic with coverage 19 restrictions being east with the explanation drive in full swing and the economy beginning to grow again, now, the backdrop is, of course grim by comparison. we have a brutal war raging on the european union's doorstep. and this war triggered a severe energy crisis. and all of that, all those challenges were address by was a law fund ally. and, but her speech was also supposed to, to send a signal, a message of courage and solidarity. she was trying to convince her audience that the european union can prevail and continue supporting ukraine. if all member states stand together and are united now, she used her speech alexander,

to confirm that a deep and comprehensive electricity market reform is plan. so let's take a quite listen to what she said. in these times, it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers in these times, profits must be shared and channeled to those who need it most. ah. so she's talking there about a cap on electricity produces profits. alexandra, can you tell us how united is europe in terms of energy policies? well, when we speak about this one, a concrete measure cab or a tags on windfall, revenues of companies that produce energy at a lower price and still profit from soaring gas prices. i think that we can stay

that most members states would be on board because of course, they are concerned that consumers and small businesses are struggling to pay their energy bills and funded lion promise that up to 140000000000. europe's euro's could be channeled to those in need when this cap is introduced. so that is why i assume that member states are happy with them. with that some of them have been demanding that this should happen for a long time. however, when we talk about other measures that are being discussed, like a cap on gas prices, for instance, that is something that is very controversial among member states with something that needs to be done. and others like germany saying that a price cap a would lead to trouble in the mark on the market. so those are measures that are controversial. so we will probably learn later today more details about the

measures that are going to be put on the table by the european commission. thunder, thanks so much. that's alexandra phenomena, reporting from strasburg now and e u. cap on energy company. profits could free up as much as 140000000000 euros to cushion the blow of soaring inflation, and that is likely to be welcome news to many households fearing cold and poverty as a result of rising energy prices. as christine montoya, now reports from belgium, the full cost is for a difficult winter in europe. but even before the cold season arrives, households across the u already feeling it bite. belgium has one of the highest energy inflation rates in the european union. and the federal government is in portland negotiations with the bank to try to bring relief to some of the

hardest hit households by deferring mortgage payment for example. but household see i have been told that they need to brace for what will be like several years of difficult winters ahead for this family. it is the winter that is only weeks away. that's causing the most anxiety. they are already cutting back on how much energy they use. we already replace all the lamps for l v. and at night we'll move using this lamp, the roof, most of the most of the house of dark. we are doing the, this wash and we are using that was machine only a nice because the price of the energy is lower. so during the day, even in the weekend, will use these machines during the day on the night. everything's more expensive. the fuel that transport this supermarket, the groceries are more expensive with the bills piling up as the cost of living

source tax pays and the you are looking to the governments for help. and indeed, some in countries have announced plans to offer relief to the populations a been asked, missing energy and economy ministers agreed on where some of the money to pay for this help would come from the current ideas actually to introduce kind of a profit cap to say ok, there are certain companies, especially in the electricity field, but make a lot of profit because the prices are so high, although their costs are very low. so that one says we can introduce a kind of a tax. any profit that's above this will go to the government, which gives the government pen the resources to subsidize certain households, but it is rashes gas. many in countries rely on to keep the heating and lights on and as tensions escalades between brussels and moscow over the war in ukraine. it is free, it, russia will completely cut off its gas supply plenty millions into freezing

darkness. and here economies in recession. all right, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. today. wildfires raging in southwestern france of but more than 350 hacked has in the past day. 5 fight is struggling to contain the advance of the blaze. the summer has seen record wildfires in france and in other european countries, china's lead asian paying as arrived in kazakhstan for his 1st trip abroad since the start of the pandemic is due to attend the summer of the 8 member shanghai corporation organization. as part of the central asian visit, he's expected to meet russian president vladimir putin. a major typhoon has gathered strength as it heads over open water towards the chinese metropolis of shanghai. typhoon wafer is packing, maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers an hour or flight. the shanghai is to

main. airports have been cancelled, and authorities are evacuating people from construction fights and other risky areas isn't going. hurley, i'm had and a tie soldier is shot dead, 2 people and wounded another at a military facility in bangkok. according to the tie army, the 59 year old sergeant major tried to flee the scene, but he surrendered to police shortly after the shooting. police say the still investigating the motive for the attack and it's to england now, in a few hours, king charles will lead a processions escorting the coffin, carrying his mother, queen elizabeth through central london. a hundreds of thousands of mourners are expected to line the route starting at buckingham palace. the hall strawn hearse will travel down the mouth, passing close to trafalgar square. it will then cross horse guards parade on to whitehall and will continue to the houses of parliament and westminster hall. now this is where the queen will lion states and where people will be able to pay their

respects for 4 days until her funeral at westminster abbey on monday. and correspondent, biggest mass joins me now from london, where the queue of people is already growing budget described to us where you are right now and tell us about the, the growing crowd of well wishes. there is a very long q and in a very british tradition, it is, oh, very, very orderly. i'm looking behind me palace of westminster. and this is where people are forming this long queue over a kilometer long. they are waiting to pay their respects to the queen. later on and i've talked to people in the queue and it's very convivial to you. it's, it's somebody mood, it's rather quiet, but it's not sad. so people are coming here also to celebrate the queen's life. and i think what unites them is that they all fans of the queen and i've spoken to

people who said, well, i have made new friends here. we are forming what sub groups, and we're going to share our memories afterwards. and let's listen in a little bit of what these people had to say in these interviews. actually we started 430. so we've been here quite a while, but nevertheless, we were here long before sunrise. it's kind of the i celebration of the queen's life in this moment. we also get to pay our respects. so i think once i get in there, and when the coffin arrives, the mood well changed. more somber thing, costly than the queen is a big thing. and she's not just a queen, is the queen. i think many people will know her is that she's a great loss. she means a lot and i signed a know a while ago to you say that would serve the queasiness pav, drawl nivea, i'm imagined the energies is going to be very calm. very psycho very reflective may be somber. some very sincere feelings. there. the procession accompanying the

queen's coffin. this afternoon will of course be one of the many significant moments in this week of morning book. it took us through what we'll be seeing later today. later on this afternoon, the coffin of the queen will be transported in a very somber ceremony from buckingham palace and then into the palace of westminster. and this is when the people that are now forming this you, this is when this q will start moving. and after having waited for a day or even longer, people will be able to then pay their respects and this procession later on this afternoon is going to be very important. i've heard one of the organizing commanders say that they want it to be the best ceremony that they have ever put up because it is for their queen. and i think this is also what people hear. they won't be able to see the procession, but they will obviously follow it on their screens and. and afterwards they will be

able to pay their respects in the palace of westminster. and they have told me that they expect it to be quite a magical moment. and this is when the morning will continue for the queen for the next days until the funeral at the beginning of next week. now, so huge pressure to make this work and, and it's a massive challenge for london's police and the security services as well. isn't it? it is because it's not only the crowds of people that are descending from london from all parts of the country. i'm speaking to people from the north of england, from wales, even somebody has come from the u. s. suit. hundreds of thousands of people are expected, but also a heads of state. president biden has confirmed that he will come and that brings with it obviously even bigger security challenges. so we know that the police are drawing on their colleagues from all parts of the country, and this will be probably also the largest security operation that the country has ever seen. but mass reporting from london,

thanks so much. all right, we've got some champions league football news for you now with the return of barcelona is robert levin. doff ski a former by an munich star to his old stomping grounds. in munich, levin dusky continues to be a masterful goal scorer. that after a scoreless 1st half by and did manage a pair of gold in the 1st 10 minutes after the break. the 1st i had from lucas hernandez followed by nice finish from leroy sunny 11 dorski came close a couple of times, but by ins, defense contained him well, much to the delight of course of coach julian nicholson on good is piedmont for nicholas. he played a good game, wanted sure you didn't score ago, which i'm happy about it all to my mom saw in the 1st half that he was dangerous. in the 2nd off we defended very well against him. i saw him shortly after the game and gave him a hug. i'm going on, but he's playing for another club now,

and i have a lot of other players to take care of you. normally we can was. all right, let's take a look at some of the scores from tuesdays champions league group stage. now with buying winning to nell, they stay at the top of their group. another german club leave a cruise and had a good evening against the spanish side. they defeated athletic, co, madrid, and a 3rd german team frankfurt slipped past mar, say, were last year's champions. league runners up liverpool defeated. i x. all right, we're bringing you back to berlin now and to the cities state ballet which is known for its love of experimentation. it's thrilled on lucas in the past, by staging flash mobs that the city's main station and by performing at the famous burg, hine nightclub, now it's taking to the water from berlin with love is a 90 minute dance show. a board, a tow boat, that winds its way through central berlin and through the government district in august that weather meant that this water based dance tool had to be postponed.

but in september, everything was just right. with some late summer sun, an audience and the varied program as we haven't done, we did that last year for the 1st time in the context of the pandemic, where we said we want to go outside to the guests. because nobody could come to us in the theatre, and then it was so successful, sort of like a little love parade here in berlin right here in berlin. and this year to hundreds followed the one and a half hour show. the 50 dances showed excerpts from their repertoire, including sequences choreographed, especially for the ship, like this one called following the path ah, ah, normally the dancers to have the special floors, were there dancing, jumping, so didn't hurt themself?

unfortunately, he on the stage we don't have that that and then we put the material on what we are dancing, but not what is under the material. so we have to avoid all this kind of jumps and to recap 3 eggs which we are doing on the studio, or don't the normal stitch that we don't get injured. the binary noise from the classic swan lake also avoided point dancing or big jumps. keeping the balance on the swaying floor was enough of the challenge. oh it's really scattered. as long as the difficulty i would say is to find to focus and not fall over the model of a normally when you're on stage and in the studio, you always have a fixed focus point to go by the system. nothing wrong. and all that blurs in the background. here allison hintock, one, the audience didn't notice any kind of such irritations. in fact,

it was the reverse. they saw a great performance, which simply inspired a passion for dance, ah ish. and with that, you're up to date coming up next to our business show made in germany, which looks at the challenges of transforming the energy in this industry. i'm on a coup, is mccain, and i'll be back at the top of the next hour with more international headlines i for watching t w ah ah ah ah
