the government places facilities in germany, owned by russian oil. john ross left under his control, meaning they can continue to operate after russian oil imports. and i'm to tell his great roger federer announces his retirement to be 20 times grand slam singles when it describes his decision to leave the court as bittersweet to so many injuries. he says, whose body is trying to tell him something ah, i'm feel good. welcome to the program. a mass grave has been found outside easier in eastern new crane days after the city was liberated. authority say it's one of the largest burial sites found in any city re captured from the russian army and that soldiers and civilians are buried. that a pine forest hiding

a horrific mass, grave and ukrainian soldiers have found the more than before. 100 bodies buried near the city of israel after it was freed from russian control over here lie the bodies of 17 of their comrades, surrounded by hundreds of individual graves. with only crushes to mark them a typical one, and we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video online that the, for at least the, with those videos ever. and with whom i am on the cross that says there's 17 bodies . but i'm that video, well, in that there were more edition we should, that we have not counted them yet, but i think there must be at least a 25 or 30 body will say she may be, this is not the only mass grave here we now have to work and identify everyone who died here calling ah, earlier this week,

president zalinski raised the ukrainian flag in indian not, not the city had been under russian control for more than 5 months. it now shows scenes of destruction is really and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. so lensky sat, an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. my hood from a, shall we want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario, paul. and now unfortunately, is you see if russia is leaving death behind in everywhere and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this. 0 more said little ukraine age to re claim all its territory after we taking is e m. however,

russia still house around the 5th of the country lacquer respondent nick conway is in her cave and says ukrainian or force is now face the task of pacing together the circumstances behind those mass graves. well, definitely if there is little to say that somehow those russian troops who were in his room for 5 months, we heard that would somehow have behaved very differently to what we've previously seen, close to kia place like butcher. and it appeared in terms of the way they behave toward civilians has to be said there, there are reports in the ukraine press right now that it is believe the least a part of these bodies, blown people who lost their lives during shelling of the city. these things take a long time when you think back to the spring when those cities closer to key, if we're freed, were recovered by the cranium forces. it took weeks and weeks for the, for the ukrainian authorities, for all the kind of a judicial organs to get involved, steward to those dna analysis of the people there. and also to trying to track down

their relatives in support from a lot of people from this part of ukraine have either fled deep into a western ukraine or to europe or to russia, to try to find out a re instruct who these people were. and how their last days looked like is a very long process, but definitely that is the fear that as this you crank how to offensive takes and skill was more touchy. they're going to be finding people everywhere they go. i was close to the russian border yesterday and the locals. they were pretty much so sure that in the forests around they would definitely still be finding a lot of people who lost their lives, trying to get out trying to catch ukrainian held territory. also, they were sure that there were bodies of lots of ukrainian soldiers may be prisoners of war that they believe might have been mistreated by the russian forces in that part of the country. so lots of gruesome discovery is expected here in the days and weeks to come. right. and the ukrainian a counter offensive ha, ukrainian force has been able to maintain that momentum. it is

ongoing, obviously, for now, the russians been able to kind of take up more stable new positions using rivers and other bits of kind of the topography of this part of the country to make things easier for them to defend. and also, now, you know, we have seen that the ukraine's now hit russian positions kind of foot se forgive towards dumbass, where the russians are better set up, have more in the way supplies and better trained troops. but this is ongoing and we definitely have seen now that without this fact of region, without this kind of way in to supply its troops in dumbass rushes, having real trouble. and we're seeing ukraine making real progress around city or towards so than yes, that city, that lillian summer was such an important but very hard one victory for the russian . so a sense that ukraine is on a role, but maybe the next half weeks are not going to be as easy as foss. what we've seen in recent days. i thank you for that. nick nick, commonly in hockey. hello mass graves in is in with discovered following sweeping advances by ukrainian forces. president landscape says keys troops have

recaptured around a 1000 square kilometers in the east of the country. the area in solid blue shows ukrainian gains over the last 2 weeks, while the striped region is still held by russian forces. we can look at this closer with jedi mothers who's an expert in russian politics and security in the senior electro aberystwyth university in wales. welcome to d, w. a house mister putin likely to react to the latest defeats. well, what's interesting is that so far he hasn't made any direct response. he's had made no public statements about the ukrainian counter offensive. he's really left it to other people to try and explain it to way. and that means that there hasn't been any clear line from the kremlin. so difference, those people are saying different things in the sizing, for example, that the military is simply withdrawing regrouping or blaming nato,

claiming that nature forces are actually fighting in ukraine and calling perhaps, or an acceleration in the, in the attacks on ukrainian civilian targets. so there's been a very diverse response from across different aspects of russian official them and does, does the lack of a response from the top tell us anything. i think it tells us a great deal. i think it tells us that the kremlin is in a certain amount of disarray and confusion and perhaps in shock that they, they certainly didn't expect this. no dramatic counter offensive, a great success, a humiliating defeat by their own forces in ukraine, at every step of the way this war has not gone the way that the putin and his supporters have wanted it to. um and so you know, perhaps he's hoping to just get on with his or other business and then you know, hope for better news to come. so given what you've said about that disarray politically is mr. perkins still, we untouchables, strong man at home,

but we presume he was when he started his will. well, that's very interesting because so much of hooton's strength comes from reputation and it comes from other people's responses to him. um and once there is evidence that that strength is perhaps not like what we thought it was. and then the whole edifice begins to crumble and is certainly very vulnerable. and he's been not he personally, but the regime has been the subject of very harsh attacks. now from the more hard liners in russia, the nationalists that the people who are ultra extreme in their views, in terms of their support for the war, and really want more destruction and ukraine and more bloodshed. and they been very critical of the ministry of defense. and the generals for the way that they waged the war, and they called upon, you know, a national mobilization of the country, of economy, of the armed forces and so on. which is definitely something that, that putin has been trying to avoid. so he is vulnerable. i would say to these kinds of attacks and pressures from the the nationalists in the hardliners. more on

a quick word about his meeting yesterday with the chinese leaders, eugene ping. it was becky stuff. how important is that relationship now that russia is so isolated from most of the rest, the world? it's really vital, as far as tuition is concerned. he wants the world and particularly the west to see that russia has strong friends. a russia is close to china because of course, china is apart from the u. s. the leading power in the world. and so in russia wants to be sure he seems to be close to china. china, however, it has been quite careful in its relationship with russia during this war. it hasn't provided you know, direct, clear, clear support. it hasn't provided direct, clear condemnation. it's sort of trying to walk the line. and so i don't think that president g of china is going to give putin everything that he wants by any stretch . thank you so much for ask for clear tony. mallets from avarice with university

of germany taking control of russian owned refineries in the country, including units of the oil. john ross left. the hope is that this will ensure energy security before an embargo on russian oil begins next year and has placed a rough last german subsidiaries under trusteeship. which means a federal regulator can take control of 3 large refiners in the country. once in the eastern town of shreds, where it used to draw a 100 percent of its own from russia balance now before turning sources to keep those refineries running get more of this ship seeking fiercely from a business dress. welcome, steven. so why is the german government to doing this now? as you said, the some, this goes back to the decision taken by germany along with much of the rest of that you to end russian oil imports by the end of this year. now much of that oil comes into eastern germany via pipelines and a lot of that oil goes to this key refinery,

fit in the north and actually supplies the berlin region as well. it's seen as one of the critical refineries in germany. it is controlled, however, majority controlled by a ross enough subsidiary. now, that subsidiary has made clear that it has no incentive and no interest in procuring other kinds of oil. once the pipeline oil cuts off. now poland, in the mean time has said that it's willing to provide some help as a pipeline from good. dan's gonna baltic see the could actually help provide some oil. but it said that it won't. russian control removed from spread before it acts . the german government had another reason to take care of matters that is that there are a number of employees, 1200 employees, in fact, in that refinery. many of them german, most of the german perhaps who want a resolution to this. it's also had reason not to act so rash that is all is still flowing through the pipeline and it doesn't know how russia is going to react. ultimately, what germany said is that the position that banks were put in that ensures were put in and that suppliers for these refiners were put and meant that they had to act

now because they were raising questions and saying, what is the structure of this refinery? ok, so does this mean that germany is all supplies are now secure for the coming winter? that's what the government says is that ultimately it has other options in terms of global supply. and that does make sense as well. the question will really be, how is that supply going to get to these key refineries. they are essentially connected right? to russia, that is where the oil comes in and very cheaply over time. that is a very cheap solution. now you're gonna have to bring a lot of that in with tankers, and there are 2 ports that they're looking at. one is raw stock in germany on the baltic sea. the other is good dance tanker. prices have already shot up. that means it's going to expensive also to those ports have capacity to bring enough oil into those into those refinery. so these are the questions that are looming. it means that prices could go up, but the supply is there. the logistics are pretty tricky and then we also don't know what russia is going to do in response to this and just sort of zooming out from at so has the german state effectively nationalized these, these,

these russian facilities? are we talking about at a temperature of no, it hasn't nationalized. it is not taking possession of the assets of this refinery . what it's doing is taking control of critical infrastructure and it's legally allowed to do that. it says its own privately, but it's critical for our uses here. and so we will control the assets that are still owned by others. it will push ra, snuffed out of the way and look for another operator. there are signs that there could be groups interested in coming in and taking over the position. the question is, where it goes from here, we've seen that with something similar happened with a gas prompts to do that. the state, the russian state owned natural gas firm. they had a subsidiary here in germany. it was also put in trusteeship. but it's been burning through money. and the question is there, a nationalization might make more sense because the difficult economics of natural gas right now with oil, it might actually work to bring in another provider that the economic incentives might be there. so there is probably a better outlook with the logistics are still going to be tricky. thank you for that. so basically from the date of the business of other protein is

due to macy's turkish counterpart, reggie type ado on today's at regional summit held. and becky stant global attention will focus on any changes made to a deal that regulates exports, if ukrainian grain that it was broken by turkey on the united nations. and he's due to expire in november. if it's not renewed. mister putin is calling for the agreement to be revisited, saying it's not fair for russia or many poor countries that depend on those great shipments from ukraine. wheat from ukraine arrives in africa. the 1st aids shipment from the world food program reached harbor in late august carrying much needed grain destined for ethiopia. since july, only 2 such humanitarian deliveries have taken place. while more than a 100 commercial cargo ships have set sail from ukraine. russia says european countries, other biggest winners,

but i can give you exactly all the grain exported from ukraine has been shipped not to the developing and porous countries, but to the countries of the european union. and just as many european countries acted in previous centuries as colonialist, linda, but this is how they continue acting today, which you didn't. they have once again cheated the developing countries and continue teaching them under the black sea grain initiative ships from ukraine passed through an inspection center in turkey. the majority of their cargo stays in turkey, which byes some 19 percent of the rest. european union countries have collectively bought 38 percent followed by asia and the middle east. african countries have so far received just 6 percent of all the exports. while the poorest nations have seen the least of ukraine's grain, the united nations has defended the deal saying it has helped by putting downward pressure on global food prices. because of that,

draw people who had been ordering grey and hoping to sell it a high price are actually now selling it, which is putting more on the market. and hopefully that rick will bring some of those local prices down to russia is also upset that it's fertilizer exports haven't restarted as agreed under the deal. a pipeline carrying the fertilizer ingredient. ammonia from russia to ukraine's odessa for export by sea has been closed since the start of the war. the u. n. is trying to get it flowing again. time is running out. the current deal expires in november, unless all sides agree. grain and fertilizer exports from ukraine could again come to a halt. let's get mo, from jojo han in istanbul. welcome, una. is president ergo, unlikely to be sympathetic to president putin's a dissatisfaction with his grand deal. all the turkish

president played a key role in brokering this so called great deal back in july. he has, i believe no interest in seeing it fail. turkey is one of the countries that has so far received a, most of the grain shipments from ukraine, but add one is also carefully balancing interest between keith and moscow. and he has echoed proteins, criticism of the deal. but i should add that putins claims, and i quote him here that almost all of the grain shipments have so far gone to european union countries is simply not correct. not according to the figures we have from the united nations who are overseeing the entire process. they say that about a 3rd of all exports have so far gone to low and low and middle income countries in asia, the middle east and africa. so the question is, why is putting, trying to discredit this steel? now i believe it is because russia things it's not benefiting from the agreement.

the agreement officially also allows russia to export grain and fertilizer free of sanctions. but that's not, it seems that's not what is happening right now. in practice, russian grain exports have decreased in recent months. the numbers of countries buying or willing to buy from russia has a decrease. there are still many restrictions when it comes to shipping companies to insurance to banking. now, turkish officials say they have pushed on an international level for that to change . so i think this is going to be at the core of what president edwin and president putin are going to talk about today when it comes to that great deal. and you mentioned deb, mr. owed once balancing act with russia as a member of nato, a russian military klein and said, with competing interests in syria, it's gonna be hard for him not to be accused of of playing both sides. well, this is already a president edwin's so face to face meeting with vladimir putin since russia

invaded ukraine in february. i should add the turkey is not a member of this shanghai corporation organization. but edwin was invited by vladimir putin to attend. now this summit's lead by russia and china is seen by some as an entire western alliance. so i believe edwin's attendance ease. i'd with a lot of skepticism by turkey's partners in the west, in europe, in the u. s. on cra, has so far and not joined any western sanctions on moscow. western capitals are unhappy with russia. turkey continues to receive tourists and finances from russia . they're continuing to trade and are there are serious concerns and western capitals that turkey might be helping russia to avoid a sanction. so i think this summit today also sends a signal to the west. thank you for that. so you don't use your hob stumble.

we'll take a look at civil stores breaking news around the world. frances says he believes it's morally right for countries to supply weapons to defend, to help defend ukraine, to help ukraine defend itself against russia. pontiff was commenting to journalists on a plane after returning from a religious conference in catholics down. the catholic churches, just wor, principals, allow for proportional use of deadly weapons, boy city, even more authorities in italy, se 7 people have been killed by severe storms in the coastal town of city. gallia, streets were flooded after heavy rains. local officials say they were caught off guard by what they described was a water bomb dropped as much as $0.40 because of rain within a matter of long fuse or stretching along the banks of the river thames in central london. this people wait as long as 9 hours. i very last respects to queen elizabeth, died last week. the late british monarch is lying in state in westminster, for where she will remain until her funeral. on monday. as people
