lined with body bags. this pine forest on the outskirts of islam is the site of a recent mass, grave. hauling body after body work as here have already exist the remains of 40 people. police believe that over 400 may be buried here. some soldiers, but also civilians. forensic inspectors say some of the bodies bear the marks of torture. let us we assumed the 1st grief and found a body where little the rope was found on the neck of the body. and there are injuries on his limbs if the listeners will. these are all indications of dodger 1st to switch a hole up to one. this old cemetery is now filled with new crosses. some bear, the names of the dead. most are just numbered. police say grave diggers recorded the details of those they knew. satellite imagery shows the changes in the landscape from march to august, appearing to show new patches in the forest. the united nations is preparing to

investigators a half to check over 400 turns 400 graves, where they found a corpses varying traces of torture. some of those graves are also indicate that people died of hunger last spring while a cities were occupied as though so a graves of children there. so this would be a very hard task as a 1000 to these off. he says from all over the country who came here in the region to assist those investigations. and there's already 200 investigations opened by the general prosecutor to look into those alleged crimes into hockey region. and there was a man with shas reporting from khaki for earlier. ah, we also spoke to marina myron from the center for military ethics at kings college london. and she told us how ukraine was able to push back the russian troops in the north. they have seen some really impressive offensive capabilities in the moore's

so in the region of the zoom, which is c arc. if all blessed are close to rushes water however, we're still seeing some difficulties in the south. so essentially, the reason for the success, it was a surprise whose russian forces, as they have moved their troops to the south, expecting the so called her so on offensive. however, as a couldn't hold the ground in the north. and the amount of ukrainian troops deployed was a nose and offensive, was outnumbering. whatever was left there of the who says, so the fast se could do was retreat to save men our right now the question is that was a tactical game, was a ukrainian military. however, they need to hold at ground, and so it is too early to tell how that will turn out. that being said,

they definitely undermined roches plans in, in military tactical sense. now is interesting that you would say that, especially the last bit because the russian president vladimir putin, a just said that the counter offensive that came as a surprise, as you say, won't change rushes plans that russia has so far not deployed. it's full forces and he added quote, we aren't in a rush. would you make of that? well, obviously it was a slap for russia and in a tactical sense. and the whole idea was to be able to surround slowdowns, can chrome authoress and repeat, or at least a chance scenario. now, on the ground, they will have to regroup and change their plan, and they're seeing obviously, the continuous push and the course on region. and that is strategically much more important. obviously there needs to be kind of some diplomatic exit for put in, in order to keep them morale high of his forces on the ground. and are trying to

mobilize more forces right now as we speak, however, occurs on is difficult in terms of logistical support to the troops. so it remains to be seen how that plays out a summary, not just briefly, if you would, a looking at her the other side, the west come ukraine, handle this or offensive or the counter offensive on its own. does it need more support from the west and will it get it? that's a great question because obviously as the condra offensive took place now 6 months into the war, the ukrainian forces have received an enormous amount of help from the west and both in military equipment as well as in training. yet we have to think about the seasons and about the fact that the winter is approaching and the bug ukrainian economy, which it is about to crumble according to the world bank. they need to 349000000000

for recovery of the ukrainian economy. so on the one hand, they have to sustain that war effort. on the other hand, they will have to provide for the population. and we've have seen of russia has been targeting critical infrastructure, and we've seen black out throughout the country. so that makes things more complicated. and we have a bigger picture where it was, you know, the russian gas and oil supplies in europe. so that money has to come from somewhere as a how that ukraine needs. and in how far you are pm. countries are willing to sacrifice the good of their own citizens to help ukraine remains to be seen. that's . that's the big question. indeed. to marina myron, an honorary research fellow in the defense studies department center for military ethics at king's college in london. thank you so much. thank you. and now to some

millions of people to the city authorities, say hospitals there will be able to cope with a potential rising corona virus cases. october 1st runs until october, the 3rd well, let's bring indeed up the correspondent of benjamin alvarez gruber, who is in munich, standing by at the world's largest b. a festival. benjamin i don't see you with beer. ah, but i'm sure you can tell us what awaits a visit us this year. so as you just mentioned, it started only a few minutes ago behind you can see some horses. they brought some beer barrels. that's the traditional opening of the oktoberfest is. you can also see it is raining, guests have been waiting some for hours even before this for even opened at 9. so now the b is already flowing with many happy that the finally can come back to the 2 of us after this 2 year pause. while you're talking about the pause and the

weather, obviously doesn't play a long. does the pandemic still play a role somehow given that there are concerns of a new autumn and went away for 2 people just okay. they are concerned. indeed, if you think of the hundreds of thousands of people i expected here over the next 17 days, i asked if they have an estimate. they don't have that there are people and visitors coming from all over the world to the world's biggest, a beer festival. here in munich and bavaria, it is one of the biggest events that they have this year's. of course, it was really hard for them that they had this pause due to the covert 19 pandemic . but here it's not a topic anymore. there are concerns outside saying that there will be an increase of case, especially considering the done october. there will be new restrictions in germany considering mask when it comes, for example, in public transport, in trains, in bosses. but here, many of the videos don't seem to care about that, and there are no restrictions. so there are no masks not endorsed and not all doors

are. and what about the other big topic these days? inflation nights at our rec, or tie, and i believe beer at the up till the 1st is expensive as the dis to house inflation reflected there. absolutely, and there is exactly where you can see how much a mass, how much there be it will cost. now it is around $12.00 to $13.00 euro said 7 of the the highest and people have to pay when they come in wants to have beer. when you look at food and prices, it is similar to last years as well. but as we just talked about the pandemic, many of the visitors to come and save or have to pay $1112.00 a 30 year as for a beer, then it will be like that. and we'll talk about economics and we talk about how important this is for the city. there are 13 people, 13000 people working here, it, they'll, tavares it goes for 17 days. it's really important for them as well for the breweries who have been seeing this inflation when it comes to the product as well. so they say visitors are saying if i have to pay 12 or 13 euros for a b l to that. i mean,
