a by john agree, a new sci fi after a flap of violence between the 2 neighbors. more than 150 soldiers have been killed in clashes this week. plus swedish politics takes a hard right turn. prime minister, my to lina anderson analysis resignation after the social democrats lose an election to an alliance of right wing parties. ah, i'm told me a logical welcome to the program president vladimir zalinski of ukraine was involved in a car accident in the capital key of late on wednesday. his spokesman said the president was not seriously injured, comes after zaleski returned from his 1st trip to the newly liberal. it said,

city of is ume, ukrainian forces recapture of the strategic city as part of a swift counter offensive that seen them take back thousands of square kilometers of russian control territory in northeast and hockey province. yet as russian soldiers retreat evidence is the merging of a brutal occupation in the city of his union, president zalinski shakes the hand of a ukrainian commander. thanks to his troops, hard work, the city has now been liberated from russian forces. but there's been so much fighting here that there's not much of it left. there are no surprises. if you know that that's not shock for me. the viewer is very shocking, but it's not shock for me. and because we, we began to see the same pictures from butcher from the

forced, the occupied it directors, so the same destroyed, builders killed people. and so what can i say for you cranes? ne encounter offensive has seen the ukranian army take back a wide suede of territory in the space of just a few days that residence here, a shell shocked what they endured during 6 months of russian occupation, is just starting to come to light in the battle scarred city of bela clear southeast of hoc give reports of torture are emerging with criminal de you made me hold 2 wires attached to an electric generator to the members that were the faster you spin, the higher the voltage and go to court and they kept spinning. it and asking questions. they said i was lying prostrate and so they did it more a year, thought that it happened to some prisoners every of the day when the schools are

sure existed publicly with the ukrainian army back in control. residents here long to put the dark days of war behind them and see the ukrainian flag rise over the country. once again. earlier we spoke to d, doubly correspond and nick connelly who's following developments for us in hockey. and he updated us on the situation in the city where you can't see much of her give behind me. it's about 10 p. m local time. and there's not a light on anywhere here in the downtown. some of that is because people have left in large numbers, but for the most part, people are still living in that 1st mode of war when it was all about trying to prevent, make it more difficult for us to find targets, keeping light, to a minimum, hiding behind curtains and basically leaving the streets as early as possible. it's quite kind of shocking being here. i was last here in april, back then there was still a terrify in the city and you could hear kind of couldn't go more than half now

without hearing it. that's now gone. but still, you don't really have the feeling. the people here kind of believe that this kind of car is here to stay. they had a false false kind of hope early in the summer that things were getting better and then things got a lot worse for they ended up ending to where they did. and there's a sense that russia could retaliate with more attacks on civilians. we had those tax on the heating plots here in hockey, in recent days, just earlier this evening, there was a tack on a dam. another part of the country which was looked set to floods residential areas in community through the real sense that russia, the more it ends up losing territory and being cumulative battlefield might really take out those frustrations on presidents. an armenian security official says armenia and as a by john have agreed on a cease fire to and the latest route of fighting more than a 150 troops have been reported killed on both sides. this week, the long time enemies went to war over the disputed nagondo caraballo region in the 1990s, and then again in 2020. as russia fights am retreats and parts of ukraine

intense fighting between 2 former soviet republics threatened to pour the kremlin and to yet another battle of peace brokered, in part by moscow, between azerbaijan and armenia is barely holding together with a fragile cease fire. in the past, several days, crashes over disputed lands have killed 155 soldiers on both sides. as are by john is backed by turkey and is president rep type air to one. so i would like to wish god's mercy to the late his martyrs, a friendly bassa by john, in the struggle for the defense of their homeland them. the situation we are in is the results of violations of the deal reached after azerbaijan warn the war on it. is unacceptable gillum next to the past is ever present in this week's

deadly battles. the ex soviet countries have been locked in a decades old conflict over no more, no car above which is part of asia by john, but has been under the control of ethnic armenian forces, backed by romania since a separatist war there ended in 1994. our mania backed by russia has demanded the kremlin and members of the collective security treaty organization help. the c s t o is a military alliance or former soviet republics. that includes our mania, but not azure by john. may how can be made a mania applied to the c s t o under the 4th article chalk? it establishes that aggression against one of the c a c o member countries on is considered aggression against other countries. among the russia muse, listen carcass region is that the crossroads of europe, asia, and the middle east. if the ceasefire doesn't hold,
