the landscape hometown of creevy li, putting one of the country's largest urban areas at risk of flooding. russian cruise missiles have destroyed the water system, increase the rear residents have been warned to brace for flooding. the infrastructure is critical to the city, the largest in central ukraine, of usher or get there or does your missile attacks today like russian missiles targeting previously under the dam of the cottage, near skier reservoir occurring in the objects have no military value at all. you should bustle, empty shoe, in fact targeting hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians is another reason why russia were louis eager. earlier the president made a surprise visit to indian little one of the cities recently liberated by ukrainian forces. keeps counter offensive, has seen the ukrainian army take back. a wide suede of territory in the northeast. residents are shocked and traumatized. what they endured during 6 months of russian

occupation is just starting to come to light in the battle scarred city of ballad, clear southeast of hark eve, reports of torture are emerging live cpanel. they made me hold 2 wires attached to an electric generator developer to forward the faster you spend quotations. and the higher the voltage anchorage of courtney up. of course, they kept spinning it and asking questions. they said i was lying prostrate on, so they did it more a year boerger, it happened to some prisoners every or the day when the falls washer was listed for wallach. lou with the ukranian 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. will they w, corresponded in money, well shout as in ukraine, 2nd city harker in the east of the country. where you credited forces and are

consolidating their control of parts of the region. she told me about the overnight attack on the city. yes, well, i'm at around me night here had a gift time. we heard an explosion and a missile, a hits not far from here in the city center, a few kilometers away from where we are. it was probably launched not too far away from here because the air defense system, or the s air read alerts, didn't a start beforehand. we had a sirens holy afterwards. obviously everybody who could took shelter for the next 3rd next hour this morning. hockey for authorities said that there was no casualty following this strike and also that there was no damage cause, but this is a daily occurrence here in eastern north eastern, a ukraine day and day out. or the setting continues here in hockey for his we are

only 35 kilometers away from the russian border. and more accusations of russian attacks on civilian infrastructure with an attack on presidents announced his hometown exactly at yesterday in the city of al clevi, which is in central ukraine, which used to be the biggest as city in central ukraine pre award. there was a 650000 inhabitants. there it is a presidency landscape and native city is it was heat as well by 8 a me size. so a strike on it. so water, power, plant, or infrastructure, a damn was damaged or reservoir. it was damage or incurring, or the water to rise for 4 o 2 up to 2.5 meters. and these actually are corroborates while d. r, ukrainian, or authorities have been accusing, or the russian army or of doing of a heating civilian infrastructure is here in a de nor seized. we also experience

a power blackouts quite regularly because power plants are being heat. so we do see a pattern there to cause maximal damage that will affects the population. oh and what could it on his brother's reports of the president being involved in a car crash? yes, last night there were some reports emerging about a car crash which happened in key if apparently the incident is not too serious. you know, the ukrainian president always travel with medics as well. he was immediately taken care of her. he doesn't sustain a serious injuries. and her, his driver was immediately brought to hospital for further attention, but apparently not as serious car crash accident. okay, thank you for that manual. the manual shes in hockey. russian president vladimir putin has arrived in inspect this town where he's due to meet with his chinese count, bought gigi and ping the thank place on the sidelines of

a summit of the shanghai cooperation organization. the ancient silk road, 50 of some of the summit, will focus on the regional security issues and is being touted as a challenge to west and global influence. it will be the 1st meeting between russian and the chinese leave us since at russia invaded ukraine. the last time chinese president, she jin ping that russian president vladimir putin in beijing. he declared there were no limits to the friendship between the 2 superpowers. that was just days before russia invaded ukraine hunting woman seen him. since then, beijing has been largely silent about the kremlin war against its neighbour. other than saying that china supports peace talks about russia and china have also been making their deepening partnership planed to see for the rest of the world by conducting joint military exercises on land, air, and sea. china, for its part,

can count on russia's staying out of what it sees as it's domestic affairs. most importantly, tensions over taiwan, which beijing regards as a break away province. beijing has been stepping up its military activities around the island in response to recent high profile visits to taiwan by senior u. s. law makers. maint wally and china continues to play an important indirect role in financing the kremlin war machine by supporting rushes. economy with increased energy imports while russia has lost markets in the west. trade with china has sword by a 3rd this year. china has said president, she and put in are working together to shape what beijing cause a more just world order. andrew, small as a china expert and a senior trans atlantic fellow with the asia program, the job of marshall fund of the united states. i asked him how important this

meeting is for president g. all the decisions about these trips are always extremely symbolic. he could have made this a virtual summit if he, if he wanted to. instead it means he can do a kind of comfort zine multilateralism almost ahead of the party congress. give them a chance to see some of the plaintiffs places partners especially put in of course with him. really, these meetings have always been a priority since the very beginning of this time as party secretary. it means he can put on this strong show of a non western gathering counterpoint, the g 7 to nato at an organization, the corporation organization that's of china and creation. i think she at the moment, wants to show that in this struggle with the united states in the struggle with the west that china has friends to and then it can put on kind of visible show of that i'm going to have that expression put on a mug, i think comfort zone multilateralism. in february, before the russian invasion of you crate,

the 2 leaders declared there were no limit to that partnership. a child also as you so i haven't condemned russia's invasion, so is beijing support for moscow? unconditional. well, political support. yes. diplomatic propaganda, as we've seen. and as you mentioned in the segment, some forms of economic support to the natural resource purchases but, but also helping rush to navigate some of the financial constraints that that us sanctions have imposed. and i think there are other areas that forms of military support that china will be wary or about and even certain arms supplies. this isn't really material to the conflict and the reforms of sanctioned support as well. where i think china certainly doesn't want to impose costs on its own companies where it's still quite dependent on western technology in the western financial system. but it's certainly unconditional support in the sense that it doesn't really matter what russia does. china doesn't react to stories of russian atrocities, or as you mentioned in the story, attacks from civilian infrastructure. there's just indifference to the actual

conduct of the war. and i think they want to show that they will continue to give solidarity even if, as we see at the moment the russian campaign is it's failing. so in that sense, i think that the significantly in unconditional elements due to the forms of school, that chamber bite. right. and just talking about this, this, this idea that the russian effort, war effort is failing. they have the 2 countries have conducted joint military exercises. this year is russia's apparent failure in ukraine, causing china perhaps to rethink their military relationship well in china, always been very impressed with the russian military operations, particularly in crimea and in syria. and they sort of hoped and expected that moscow would be able to pull off something i think similar this time. so they was surprised that this was such a failure that had been conducting the assessment on, on what went wrong, a sense of been that russia is good, the kind of lightening type operations and less good at the longer

a traditional ones. i think that will certainly be, be reinforced and, but i think the biggest concern on the tiny side with this will be what it might do to russia's global capabilities that no limit agreement in february that you mentioned was, was very much about the 2 sites working together in 3rd regions, including militarily, and we've seen that to a certain extent, even in recent months in asia, but also the middle east in africa. i think the concern china will have is where the rushes capabilities have been and still all being worn down by this war and, and therefore what level of cooperation is likely to be able to sustain as a result of that. but i don't think it's a trust question, it's more concerned about. and what this is going to do to am, the russian military was very clear. thank you so much for outlining that to, for us. andrew small from the german marshall fund of the united states and keep watching t w. news life from berlin. still to come patting the kremlin propaganda machine with cartoon dogs, pro ukrainian cyber activists, fight back against misinformation,

bi copy russian tactics. first of all, stories making news around the world typhoon and why far has lasted china's densely populated east coast. after bringing strong winds and heavy rains to shanghai overnight, around 1600000 people were forced from their homes, but have been no reports of casualties. the typhoon we can to a tropical storm, as it looked up the case with you and i was of mourners are lining up to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth mchugh. to see the coffin stretches more than 10 kilometers along the thames. britton's longest serving monarch life state in london, westminster hall for 4 days. visuals, expect 750000 people to file past before a funeral. on monday student protests for educational reform led to violence classes with police in the chalet, capital santiago, and some hundreds of high school and university students range from better internet

access to paid and insured internships. protesters planned to march to the ministry of education, but was stopped by police now to sweden, where the center left. the prime minister magdalana under son has conceded defeat and announce she stepping down following sundays general election. her social democratic party on their left wing coalition lost by a thin margin, the conservative block that will be dependent on the far right sweden democrats. that's a party that has its roots in a neo nazi movement in the 19 eighties and nineties. a turning point in swedish politics. magdalena, under sun conceit, defeat in the conference parliamentary election box. maloney, your boast out that will beaked. it looks like the 4 right wing parties have received just 50 percent of the votes in the election. and in parliament, they have a one or 2 seat advantage. that then majority, but it's a majority and minority. it's a major head to the prime minister,

social democrats. they have govern sweden since 2014 and dominated the conference political landscape since the 19 thirty's. now this man will christa son, is expected to form a government. his blog includes the sweden democrats, a far right party, that has vow to make sweden safe again by bringing in longer prison sentences and restricting immigration. people in the capitol reacted to the news of the blocks narrow when it's a sad sign of the times that we're living in that they can the profile of a cell on scaring up, scaring the people with that. the where it's on site to live in sweden with the, with all the criminals. and all that through with is a sofa that only a face of

a one or 2 percent of the people who sway the most people that live a very, very, very secure life. so how to can, will an election on that? that's ridiculous. there are a lot of big questions in our society today that in some ways hasn't been address correctly. and i think a lot of people have been longing for a change. or even though that change or sometimes mean shipping the, the polarity to the rights. in this case, they go back any that sunday spout was one at the closest elections ever and sweden, thousands of overseas and postal votes were needed to get a clearer picture of who the winner was. however, it could take weeks to form a government. so does a right leaning government dependent on the far right party mean sweden will lurched to the right. that's the question i asked of marcus carlson, who's a presenter and report of a t v 4 in stocker. i mean,

it's clear that this reading democrats will have more influence than they ever had before with the more than 20 percent of the both exactly what the re fluid will be . well, the jury is still out going back because now these parties of the right that have won the election, they have to strike a coalition agreement just like in germany and many other countries. how long that will take on claire at the moment, and how difficult and arduous process is also unclear at the moment? what is clear or what appears clear is that the sweden democrats actually found to be part of the government. why is that? well, because the liberal policy also part of this winning coalition has said that they won't accept the sweden democrats within an actual government. so what appears likely is some sort of supply and confidence agreement between between democrats and the other parties of the right wing coalition. but as i say, it's difficult to say exactly what kind of influence and what kind of relationship

these poppies will have going forward. okay, so no sweden, democrats, in governments. but the prime minister of the 3rd largest party in parliament is going to have to rely on votes from the sweden democrats in order to push his agenda through. so how does he do that? how does he convince a large party to go his way? well, there are certain point, so over which these parties agree that includes energy or these parties are all want to build more nuclear power. for instance, it includes defense issues. it includes a certain migration issues. and so there are some common points here that these parties can take forward. there are also some issues that when, when, when these parties disagree and i'm thinking, for example, of asylum issues,

i'm thinking about foreign aid, sweden, democrats. they want to cut down on foreign aid. traditionally, that has been red line for the christian democrats and the liberal party. they don't want to cut down on foreign aid. so it, once again, these are issues that will have to be hashed out in the days and weeks to come, and it's difficult to see exactly where this will come down. now the european union is considering proposals to revamp. energy markets, following massive price increases, are 2 main reasons. the pandemic and the war in ukraine, as countries emerged from cobra, lockdown last year, demand for energy increased shortly, leading to high prices. and russia's invasion of ukraine's having multiple knock on effects. you countries have been scrambling to cut to consumption of russian oil and gas, making alternatives, more expensive. well,

how much more industry analysts say natural gas currently cost $10.00 times what it normally would. and that's driving industries to use more coal, which means more carbon emissions. a major setback in the quest to reduce c o. 2 emissions? well, the rising cost of energy has a households and businesses worried about how they'll pay their bills. for some companies are very survival is at stake. d, w is lisa lewis, reports from to loose in southwestern france. ah, the dish will move, foundry has been manufacturing metal products such as galle covers for more than 150 d. but a, c, e o. now fi is that business could melt away. the company's electricity bill has doubled to 1500000 euro compared to 29. well, it is. we've passed on the higher coin for electricity and for raw materials to our

customers. our prices have gone up by 20 percent. but next year, we'd have to add another 40 percent to balance out even higher power course. that could be disastrous was if you don't go to most of us, if only they go get them on the company's electricity bill next year, could skyrocket to up to $10000000.00 euros on the current predictions. the foundry could lease customers going to cheaper competitors abroad. and not, oh god, the law here, we might have to reduce our production and workforce. but we'll obviously try to prevent that then it it. and so we have for now frozen our investments and start tiring bush, lower gas deliveries from russia since it invaded ukraine. is one reason for europe's high electricity prices. the french nuclear sector is another reason varsity out of the countries $56.00 nuclear power plants have been at

a standstill for months due to plant or special maintenance wax. but normally, francis atomic power plants provide for roughly 70 percent of the country's electricity. and so france usually euro's biggest net power ex porter, currently has to do the opposite. import electricity for nuclear electricity operator e d f has promised to put most of the reactors back on stream before the end of this year. resume with lucas dose. and the government says it has made energy supply its priority cluster lan, magna, abysmal. germany needs our gas. and we need european and especially german electricity, frances, in favor of more cables to connect to countries in notated on all, ah, but as all that is due, shall moment, doubts. such initiatives will be enough to keep the foundry competitive,

regular machine. we need the government to introduce a fixed electricity price, not only for households, but also for companies most. that's the only way for us to plan for 2023 calculator budget one to make a commercial offers. it offers both. ideally the price would be fixed for 2 to 3 years. the when that was all dish or more is determined not to be defeated and make sure his family can continue to shine beyond the 7th generation sport. starting with champions, league football and manchester city start adding holland discordant acrobatic late game with the sailor to win against its former club brochure document. once again the, the norwegian, i proved to be a masterful goal scorer after gold us 1st half england midfielder jude bellingham

put dormant in front 10 minutes after the break. but too late. goals for john stones and having holland shifted the goal in manchester city's favour. allan scored 13 goals and 8 games since moving from the bundling club. much to the delight of his coach pet gaudio. yeah, he's able to defensively for good or kevin, in the pockets and when the dual tradition is fires have the sense for the 2nd position, right to the box of goal score. so yeah, exceptional, clear. so i think everybody knows it not, not because much management going to tell you. so everybody knows take a look at some of the scores and from wednesdays, champions league group stage, and with dorman, losing to one, been our 2nd in their group, another german club leipzig last against defending champions, rail madrid at chelsea played out to one old draw again salisbury ukrainian club, the nets go, went to 2nd in that group with a draw against

a celtic glasgow installation. a warfare has a pet played a significant role in the war in ukraine, while armies of russian propaganda trolls were once seen as having the upper hand in social media. are they not meeting that match and a new group of pro ukrainian cyber warriors who call themselves nevo? an army of cartoon dogs fighting russia with means it might be hard to believe, but these are a global mean movement and tackling the kremlin propaganda machine. nevo or the north atlantic fellows, organization began as a group of artists creating custom dog like avatars. the people who donated to pro ukrainian causes nathan orthodontic, a feller organization, and it is an organisation in existence. social media platforms such as twitter, where a group or information warriors, what i like to call them, they use means to fight rushes propaganda. that reported to have raised

over $400000.00 for military forces, supporting ukraine. and in addition, the means they have spawned also having an impact for many years. you know, the governments were trying to come to russia, information, abrasions, by debunking, in telling them, well this is the law, but what nature is doing, they are taking a very different effort. they're actually using humor. and satire in finding means would you just mentioned cartoon dogs on to make fun of russian statement. nathan means feature, the japanese sheba, eat dog, known as a dose, which was an inch that means sensation in 2013. they draw on that association and use the dogs to mock russian propaganda statements by bombarding them with nonsense tweets. their attacks have been so successful that even the ukrainian defense minister paid homage to them in a personal salute. nevo destroys propaganda,

he treated. let's win together. the state of the news line from berlin, his reminder of our top story of ukraine's biggest cities, creevy ray is at risk of flooding after a russian missile strike on a nearby reservoir. it act follows sweeping gains by ukrainian forces in the east of the country. fresh attacks have also been reported in the hockey region. i sent you up today to i'll have more world news at the top of the hour next on the w conflicts and tim sebastian meets russian political analyst andre commission. with
