ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. a statement of optimism and defiance of the ukranian president visits recaptured territory by law to me as a lens. he goes to the strategic city of ism and tweets that his country is moving only in one direction forward and until victory. but all ukraine's prize gains in

the north east. really a turning point in the war against russia. also coming up european commission president or philip funded lion proposes a sweet pink emergency plan to deal with searching and g costs, which she says have been caused by russia's war on ukraine and how cold the i have been told that they need the brakes or what will be likely several years of difficult winters. a hit dw reports from belgium, where millions of households fear being plunged into cold and poverty by soaring energy prices. this winter class, the casket carrying queen elizabeth the 2nd will be brought from buckingham palace to westminster hall. later today, along the 10s, members of the public, have camp south overnight waiting to stand in line for their opportunity to see the late monarch lying in state. ah,

ah, i many cubes. mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. ukraine has announced far reaching gains in the east of the country after a lightening counter offensive president below him is the lensky has been visiting the newly liberated town of idiom, which is a key supply hub. just days ago, the town was still under russian control. ukraine says it has liberated 8000 square kilometers in the hockey region, but keith is also reporting the troops are learning of atrocities, allegedly committed by russian forces. on the 6 months of occupation, prosecutors have now launched a war crimes probe. but elsewhere there have been scenes of joy as ukrainian forces arrive in communities now abandoned by russian forces. i

a mother reunited with her son. he had been fighting in the ukrainian army for days in the hot evasion until his unit liberated his home village. oh, my son, i have been reading for you all that i have kept all your things, everything. they said that a mines in the apartment, i'm going to pick a mom, you look and good as always, i missed his so much. ukrainian soldiers follow a trail of destruction as they pressed that attack. the russians are in a headlong retreat, shedding that equipment as the fallback they visually there were running like mice . they were running and abandoning everything vehicles their own 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 . in part, usually, russian support the precedent in the mood of the people confirms this of carrying energy. the people stand firmly behind the decisions made by the head of state to

dust. but as ukraine continues to rolled by gains made by russian forces early in the war drunk, so could you not buddhist decision to invade ukraine through them? i could come back to haunt him, though it was a good that et cetera. we can cross now to the w correspondent, emanuel shells, who's in ukraine, 2nd city hockey. hi emma. now the ukranian president of the lord mayor zalinski has visited the city of izzy. m that's in the newly liberated corner of easton ukraine . what message did he bring to the people they've spent the last 6 months on the russian occupation? well, the message of the visitor savanski in easier room, which was a key city where very feast fighting had been ongoing for months now is definitely a message of hope. doubt to seeing that for me to me appeared are quite important was when he were farsi. he found the military for their efforts,

knowing the price of have been paid for by a so many soldiers, ukrainian soldiers who lost their lives here and around easier. but also he said, territories my territories my be temporarily occupied but people cannot be occupied, conquer dot was a very strong message. and he also emphasized the fact that all our residents also residents of temporarily occupied. you cran should know dead. the ukraine and armed forces were trying their best to come and liberate or other areas. and these also include it includes a crimea, which has been a next by russia in 2014, even if that's not internationally recognized that now we're hearing reports of possible war crimes committed in thee in the formerly occupied territory. what more can you tell us about those? well, this is the fear indeed. are those places you know,

over 300 settlements according to the ukraine, burglary train and our target is have been liberated over the past 2 days. they have been occupied for months. you know, for over 6 months and when we keep in mind when we have in mind what we found after a month of occupation near a key, if in boucher in it, a painting invoice to junk i in house of course to hear more war crimes might be covered there, and del, ready reports in social media. images, of course, is up to billions alleged to be tortured by the russian occupy is just those. so testimonies of people being jay's for several days, people hearing neighbors screaming of the hands of the russian fire. so those reports are, of course, shooting and with fear that we are going to uncover more and more of them liberated to, to become acceptable to external observers,

to humanitarians and also to us to the friend. alright and manually as reporting who saw keith. thanks so much. now mike martin is an author and speaker on the conflict and you join me earlier from london and i asked him what the russian retreat tells us about the current state of the russian army, the ukrainians punch 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 the civilian clothes, rushing away, abandoning their equipment, getting into civilian, civilian cause they're in a very bad way. all right, now, some suggesting that this could be a turning point in this war is bought. 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 of 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, holds very key logistics hubs and the russians the most 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, as your views 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 is need to split, the russian forces into 2 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 their frontline 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 stabilized our frontline?

the 2nd thing that's important is the type of warfare that the grades have been fighting, which is fast and aggressive. this mechanized warfare. that's quite logistics intensive, so you need to get fuel for those vehicles, lots of ammunition, and you need to rotate the troops very exhausting the troops. so do, does the ukraine? does ukraine have a strategic reserve that it's able to use to deploy? and so that fights 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. 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, the less 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 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 logistics. 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,

cyber mike martin in london. as always, thanks so much. thank you very much. now the president of the european commission says a united europe will prevail over russian president vladimir putin in her annual state of the union address to the european parliament. also a fund alliance. and europe had shown courage and strength following russians. invasion of ukraine, he stressed the unshakable solidarity with ukraine, adding that sanctions against russia will stay in place. addressing energy concerns of european consumers. the commission president said that a deep and comprehensive electricity market reform is planned, among other measures. it would include a cap on low cost electricity produces profits. 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. correspondent alexandra phenomena spoke to monthly webinar. he's the head of the largest political group in the european parliament, the european people's party, just him for his take on the speech. the speech of was a le, from the line was supposed to send a message of courage and solidarity. so how happy are you with what was on a fund and i and had to say today also is the presence of her. madame merle zalinski, a life of president zalinski from ukraine, send a very strong message. all of the other group leaders we together are united via confirming. there is a key if momentum, the european union that we are on the side of our crane friends, they are fighting our fight. and that was krista kia also is more extra not to support her to not lose the momentum to support them. now these additional investments in green, especially in the school sector,

front and center of the speech was the current energy pry it price. crisis with the consumers more and more consumers struggling to pay their bills and the european commission is now putting forwards some proposals. are they enough? what we need is a winter of solidarity in europe. first of all was our green france. that is one aspect, but also internally among member states and among the citizens who have to care about the poor ones in our society than that is by the idea of having for taxes. the idea of a price cap for russian gas and the idea to lower the impact of the e t. s. costs. so for the mission trade system are good initiatives and we support this as he p on these aspects be fine, but we still have a lot of problems. for example, that macro is refusing to build up a pipeline to spain was created, european energy market gas market that he's refusing, this is really harming the idea of building up a european energy market and been in germany. the government decides to stop to produce nuclear electricity. and on the other hand,

asking the netherlands for gasoline charities, and it's not the european way or how we should do it, though, there are still a lot of questions in front of us, but the direction is the right one month and vba, an e u cap on energy company profits could free up as much as 140000000000 euros to cushion. the blow of soaring inflation allows likely to be welcome news to many households fearing cold and poverty as a result of rising energy prices as christina. and what now reports from belgium the full cost is for a difficult winter in europe. but even before the cold season arrives, households across the e, you are already feeling it bite. belgium has one of back rates in the european union, and the federal government here is in talks and negotiations with the banks to try to bring relief to some of the hardest hit households by deferring mortgage payments. for example. but household see i have been told that they need

a brace for what will be likely 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 or ill thee an at night. well most using this lamp, the roof, most of the most of the house is dark. we are doing the, this wash and we're using the word machine only nice because the price of the inner years lower. so during the day, even in the weekends, we don't use these machines during the day on your knife, harrison. it's more expensive. the fuel, the transport ah, this supermarket, groceries are more expensive with the bills piling up as the cost of living souls, taxpayers in the e. you are looking to their governments for help. and indeed,

some in the countries have announced plans to offer relief to the populations appeared last meeting, 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 attic tricity field that 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 bend 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 at russia will completely cut off its gas supply. plenty millions, insur, 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 and southwestern france of burnt more than 350 actors in the past day. 5 fights is struggling to contain the advance of the blaze. this summer has seen record wildfires in france and in other european countries, china's leader, she's paying as arrived in kazakhstan for his 1st trip abroad. since the start of the pandemic is due to attend to some of the 8 member shanghai corporation organization. and as part of his central asian visit, he is 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. all flights that shanghai is to main. airports were cancelled, and authorities were evacuating people from construction, fife,

and other risky areas. i'm thinking don't have a tie soldier has shot dead to people and wounded another at a military facility in bangkok. according to the ty army, the 59 year old sergeant major tried to flee the scene, but he surrendered to police shortly after the shooting. please say they are still investigating the motive for the attack to england now, and in the next couple of hours, king charles will lead a procession escorting the coffin, carrying his mother, queen elizabeth through central london. hundreds of thousands of mourners are expected to line the route. starting at buckingham palace, the horse drawn 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 lions state and where people will be able to pay their estate respects for 4 days until her funeral at westminster abbey on monday,

spectra correspondent in london dugan mass earlier she's been speaking to people lining up along the river, thames. and hoping to see the queen lion states, and she described the scene for us. there is a very long queue. and in a very british tradition, it is all 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 it's a somber 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 that we were here long before sunrise, kind of the 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 are coughing arrives, the mood will change to 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 to know a while ago. so you say that i would serve the queen as pav, drawl, navy, of imagine the energies is going to be very calm, very sexual, very reflective, may be somber for 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, but it took us through what will be saying 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 are now forming. this hue, this is one, 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've 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 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, of speaking to the people from the north of england, from wales, even somebody has come from the u. s. 2, 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. mass reporting from london, thanks so much champions league football now with the return of barcelona is robert leopard doff ski the former by and munich star to his old stomping grounds. in
