a hearing there, a sweet w ah ah, this is d, w. news live from burned in ukraine, says its troops pushing further east as russia retreats, it runs. president says his force is moving quickly to restore normal life and towns abandoned by the russians, but some liberated ukrainians using this chance to flee westward into safer territory. also coming up persons, queen elizabeth,

getting out why they still can with no running water or electricity. they're heading west to say for regions deeper inside ukrainian territory. what was an already scary situation has just become terrifying with heavy fighting, still going on on the cities outskirts, thrush them? both the said, just scared. which i just want to leave and i'm scared for my child. could be ask was under russian occupation for months. it is all in a minute taught us moment was when they didn't let us use the internet or contact anyone. they said it's because of people like you, our soldiers and our vehicles get targeted. verifying reports from the battlefield is almost impossible. but ukraine's military says it's crossed the oscar river, which runs through to be asked and is now continuing its advance east. he cranes,

president says his forces are solidifying their control of the newly recaptured regions. i've just been ha, he's, we are stabilizing the situation. me firmly holding our positions is so strong that the occupy is, are really panicking. we want the russian soldiers in ukraine. they had only 2 options to flee or surrender. meanwhile, the reports of ukrainian shelling for the east in separatist held regions. authorities in the separatist controlled city of de, let's say, 13 people died after a ukrainian missile strike. there. they accuse keith of deliberately targeting civilians. this came as cave accused moscow of deliberately dropping missiles near a nuclear power plant in ukraine. southern michel, i've region missiles, fell just some 300 meters away from the power station. the country 2nd largest.

the 3 react as were not damaged, but the incident has stoked fears that the war could lead to a new killer disaster. following the success of ukraine's counter offensive in the east rushes vladimir putin has promised to step up a tax on ukrainian infrastructure, endangering the lives of civilians across the country. and a corresponding economy joins us now from ha keith. nick, bring us up to date on the fi, sing in ukraine's east. for i get that you might be hearing you crazy. national. enter the background there. that's something that is part of everyday life here every morning at 9 local time as to the fighting. well, even hearing had give you are not totally removed from this. there are lots of errors or warnings. lots of missile strikes pretty much every day. so if you really following those warnings or in the cellar in your place of safety a couple of times every night, further away from here towards where most of those fighting about fighting is still

going on. we are seeing the plains making slow, but steady progress. nothing on the scale and the speed of what happened in previous weeks, but they are pushing back russian forces in the northern part of dumbass, which is a lot far away from here because they're basically cut off the russians from their supply line. they cut off their logistics hubs, and it seems like they are now moving the direction of some of the nets that with the city that russia took at the cost of thousands of lives and a huge amount of material in the middle of the summer. and in kind of for the south towards done yet. so we've seen the, the russians trying to advance, trying to push up against positions whether ukraine's have been says, 2014 lots of outside observer saying it's pretty much pointless. given that these are some of the best defended bits of the front lines. so we're seeing active fighting, but nothing of the kind of intensity and speed that we saw, and prior to this. okay, so the ukrainian military has regained ground really quite quickly in this latest offensive is slowing down now, but how difficult will it be and to hold on to the best regain territory,

what some of it is hard up against the russian border. so in theory, if the russians did have the results, it did have the, the kind of personnel to reinforce their force, their, their, their groups here, they could attack just directly from their own territory. so in a sense, that's easier. and he said that ukraine has shown all along that is very good at defending. that's basically what they've been doing since the beginning of this conflict with russian 2014. and they also have the superior motivation in this big problems among the russian forces among people who basically don't know why they're fighting. don't feel any particular connection to this campaign loss. people who been forced to fight, who've been recruited in place like landscaping. it's others who've been lured in with high salaries that they are not often actually getting paid out in full. so since that, that isn't the bigger problem, the bigger problem is actually now going to be just preparing for the winter and getting ukraine's army ready for fighting 30 different conditions. we know that missiles have fallen ne ukraine 2nd to elijah's nuclear facility faced. and nikolai of how worried our authorities bear about what happened?

well, definitely this is very scary, couple 100 meters only dividing that missile strike from the main power station. this after seen weeks of tensions in, of fighting around the other big power station, the se, ukraine is a put asia. i think this is about 2 things. on the one hand, this is about upping the stakes and scaring people in europe who've been supporting ukraine. that russia is really willing to go all out and to risk these kind of catastrophic events to really put pressure on european back as of ukraine to kind of force ukraine back to the negotiating table at moscow's conditions. but this is also about civilian infrastructure. people here in ukraine could be facing a very cold, very uncomfortable winter. and if they lose these power pounds, they have to be shut down. it's all going to be a lot more difficult. so far ukraine has done a pretty amazing job, but recovering and of kind of rebuilding stuff after damage. but if you're to huge power stations along with all kinds of other infrastructure are out of a kind of out of work out of her normal routine functioning. then this is going to be stress, weight loss. people may be who want to come back to deliberate spots. you kind of

what be able to this is no normal civilian law possible. thanks so much, nick. that's nick connelly, reporting from hockey. right. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. protested in beirut, have broken down a gate into the justice ministry, demanding the release of 2 people arrested. last week, the storming a bank of his comes the delegation from the international monetary fund, held meetings with officials over the countries economic meltdown. banks are closed 3 for 3 days. amid security concerns. a u. s. judge has ordered the release of ad nancy, the man whose criminal case was chronicled in the hit true crime podcast cereal side had spent more than 20 years behind bars for the alleged murder of his high school girlfriend. the judge ruled that prosecutors had failed to share crucial evidence with sides defense person has bid farewell to queen

a new era and the new king, ah, joining me now from london is d. w as bergan mass, the get the u. k has 10 days of morning behind it, emotions tradition, estate, funeral service like no other how to things feel now that it's all over. i think one of her overarching feelings is one of pride that this event is choreography. when so incredibly well, and in the words of one of my friends, he said planning organization and hard. and i think that summarizes it really well . this is how a lot of people have been feeling and you know, so many people have been touched by it. but now obviously after this period that culminated in this, an enormous event, you know,

where the nation could celebrate itself. now are it's back to reality, i would say, and are all eyes on king charles and how he will continue to conduct the monarchy. we've seen an outpouring of support for the monarchy, love for the queen, and do you think this bodes well for the future of the monarchy? i think really all eyes are now under on the new king, and he will start with a lot of good will. we have seen that his popularity has been rising since he has become king and he said he will. he's resolved to faithfully follow in his mother's footsteps, and he really needs to prove in a way that he is a good king because he it, or is a bit different to, to elected heads of state because he is there are, he will most likely be there until he dies, so it's, it's going to be

a long period of time. you can change kings as you can elected heads of state. so people will want to see that he is able to continue to, to unite the country behind him, just like his mother. because if he com, the eyes of the people who want change, they will be there and they will start to question and they will want him to change things. now, queen elizabeth death is overshadowed the beginning of the new british prime minister's turn in office. politics has been on pause, but less trust has got some work to do now. hasn't she? she's got some pretty pressing is to deal with well, yes, the country is facing a lot of big economic crisis. there's a cost of living crisis and energy crisis, as in other european countries. and at least ross has promised to to tackle this had honors. she says, and what she means is that she wants to boost investments. she wants to boost growth by quite aggressive measures,

which means mostly text cuts. now she has to prove that this, that this is going to be successful. all eyes will be on her, the markets need to be persuaded that this strategy can work and as many budget at the end of this week. so it's starting just now target math in london. thank you so much. you're watching dw news. i'll be back at the top, the hour with more international headline i for watching several dead and wide wing extremists, serena's rights regressed. and again, wild mommy and copeland weight and burned in south africa. people with disabilities more likely to lose their jobs in the pandemic.
