still going on on the cities outskirts, starter ross the said just scared. which i just want to live and i'm scared for my child. could be ask was under russian occupation for months. it is all in a minute to host moment was when they didn't let us use the internet or contact anyone. they said it's because of people like new 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. but again, i heave, we are stabilizing the situation. we firmly holding our positions with so strong

that the occupiers 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 separatists 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 mich alive region. missiles fell just some 300 meters away from the power station, the country 2nd largest. the 3 reactors 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. a correspondent the manuel shafts is in hockey, vin ukraine's. ne. earlier i asked her to bring us up to date on finding well then as we just heard in the reporter ukrainian sir, a claim that they have re take andy asked kill, or a river, or some seeing where are russians had tried to consider, consolidate, consolidate. so either for the new or a front line since that eh, data account or a fancied that the gun a few weeks ago. and that seems to have taken the russian troops or by are surprised. we've also seen a, for example, on telegram channels or pro ration telegram channels that are many military experts from the russian side were as saying that the city of the man was also under

ukrainian attacks. so this seems to confirm that the eastern offensive is continuing. oh with you know, are fighting continuing, but our soda considered consolidation of those settlements which have been recently liberated, for example here in their harkey region. and i'd just like to give you an idea of what it is to be near that frontline. i visited both to cities or is you m and bella, clear recently liberated. well, you don't see russian troops there anymore, but you do see a lot of abandon tanks, a lot of abandon or rocket launchers from the russian side and you see, are you here? artillery fire you hear. so machine guns, this is not too far from the front line. the situation is very much steel, avalo tired there and ukrainian troops. i try to submit to stabilize that. what about the province of luanda, where hearing that ukraine's armed forces are preparing to retake all of that region from russian occupies ah, does optimism

e no ask. according to sergei had i it, sir, ukrainian, or governor. he also spoke a bodily man. the city i was just mentioning, said, mentioning, saying that russians were retreating or retreating are near by. and interestingly, our bows are the pro secretary's forces in low hands and on africa. read. you're not pushing for those referendums or to her for the annexation of those. so called independent republics to join or russia, they are pushing for those referendums to add, take place. i think this could be, perhaps the men give away her for her dad's or russian troops and are so prosperity his are, you know, are panicking a little bit in front of dis advance from the ukranian troops. and of course, let's not forget that ukraine and advances are in the southern parts of the city for an hour. the outer it is our remaining quite silent on the ongoing or fighting,

but as though so a steady ether. the somehow slower advance on the ukrainian side. would you say that's a sign of desperation? of the russian leaders in both the self proclaimed separate regions of the once been tanya, it's calling for referenda. oh, well it looks at definitely like care. they are. they are panicking a little bit in front of the ukraine in advance is to give you an idea here and how to give. we've seen her, you know, air, read the lads intensifying. we've also seen her father's tracks on civilian infrastructures, few hours ago. here in the outskirts of her how to keys or missile or stroke or nearby. there was also are some reports on the ukrainian side, which haven't been very independently verified, yet of the use of incendiary weapons from the russian side. so definitely they are, the russian or troops are firing in every direction and it doesn't seem to be quite

well coordinates, emotion for us in hockey. thank you very much for bringing this up to date. and for an overview of the fast moving situation on the ground, his d. w, reporter, joe towel, roy, in a matter of days, ukrainian troops has managed to roll back months worth of russian gains. and although they have slowed a little, they are not stopping as a push for the east. well, here's a look at how the military map has changed. at the start of the summer, in june, russian forces were in charge of almost all of the territory from hockey in the north to pass on in the south. but in early september, ukraine launched it surprise counter offensive operation in hockey's. and this is the result. they reclaimed almost all of the hockey region there in the north, reaching the russian border. and on monday they announced that they had crossed the osgood river. now that puts ukrainian troops on the doorstep of neighboring luke

and squeezen. now that is an area that moscow name is one of its intended targets of its invasion and ukrainian units that are moving toward several strategic cities that they lost the key russian troops just months ago. but these new territorial gains they come with grisly discoveries near the city of is you, officials are uncovering a mass grave. they estimate over 400 civilians and soldiers were buried there in recent months, some appearing to have been tortured. and it is the 2nd such mass grave uncovered following russian occupation. the 1st was the butcher. the kids were more than $450.00 bodies were found. and there are also fears of what might be found in mario pole in the south. that is still under russian occupation. satellite images appear to show mass burial sites there too. well russia denies it is carried out any atrocities or war crimes inspectors from the united nations are heading to, is you to reach their own conclusions. so as ukrainian troops hope to take more towns from russia,

there are fears of what they may find when they arrive. thank you, joe. you crane's recent successes have left some opponents of vladimir putin war, emboldened to speak out against the kremlin, despite the thread of jail. russia's most celebrated pop stars. i love, which has to be declared to foreign agents. dorothy with her husband, monks in god kit, in an online post. she said the president's war and ukraine was killing soldiers for illusory aims. and turning russia into a go for i am. dozens of local politicians have signed a petition demanding putin's resignation over the war. in ukraine, one of them is tenure toaster. i'm a deputy in st. petersburg city on off ski district. you recently posted the petition on twitter. let me just read the english translation for our viewers. we, the municipal deputies of russia believe that the actions of president vladimir put no harm in the future of the country and its citizens. we demand the resignation of

letting me prudent from the post, the president of the russian federation. couldn't this put you in jail? oh yes, but that's why i decided to go like so many signatures. so that would be a low. now there are $71.00. when it comes to my mind and i was so i was so encouraged a sample of my colleagues from money. they made much more serious statement they blamed, do they treat it as a piece decision to start the war? so after that example, i was much more encouraged and had less fear. and i made a statement so short so that a formally, they couldn't accuse us of spreading based on discrediting anyone. and so that it

would be signed by as many a just as possible. and we get $71.00 signatures with this is what would result in the current situation. when do you hope this petition will actually get you? i'm sorry, could you repeat where you hope this petition will actually get you where? i don't know, we didn't have any big plan. we just wanted to do something. we had to do something because there is no one who is speaking now. everyone is so afraid and the parliament that they don't to present us, they represent only put in the right. they do nothing. and opposition, and russia is now most in jail, left the country. so with only us who state that a small with no power at all, but we've always been in the position. and would you mind if you didn't resignation already? many, many years ago because he destroyed all the democratic institutions. and so one

option. but after the war started, it became much, much worse. it's so we want to see, i'm sorry if i can, but it's 6 months into this war. what, what's changed in this conflict to spark these calls again, for pigeons resignation. oh, wow. we were, people were very much frustrated up to these new sense of shape below what's being the next step that, you know, we cannot even call the war a war. and people cannot express their opinions in social media. they cannot money to say so. the means of russians don't support this war and don't support which is regime, but they have no any means to instance the kremlin. they cannot even the right now, if they are opinion in social media, they might be pressed. the queue to the by the police been put to jail. for example,

one woman she wrote about the been of say it's in marty. and she was, she's not in jail for 4 months. and she can be accused of reading fakes. and then she might get 10 years of prison. so people was so much frustrated, but now when ukrainian to win the war, we hope that you can win the war. it raises the hope, right, that the spirit also in russia accept at least in the opposition. but also the like putting support as they start to be very disappointed in him and they say they are support also goes down. would you still describe tootin as being untouchable? and what do you mean as being someone who's surrounded by?

yes, man, and no one can change his opinion or have any influence on him? ah, yes, i think most of his around is very much scared also. but i think they are very, they are not happy about all the me that it wasn't their plan. i'm sure that it was only one man's decision to put in the decision to stop the war. but people are mostly afraid. and so the surroundings also. but if they see a simple people ordinary people in russia starting to protest, maybe they will support for either now and i do want to do something. thank you very much for joining us today. on the w news, a russian politician calling for resignation of the war and ukraine. yes, mother stories making headlines. uganda has announced its 1st fatality from the boldest

a coma. shortly after being arrested by runs victorious morality police for allegedly not covering her hair as re ignited calls to abolish around strict islamic dress code controversy. as a rugged in indonesia, over the wearing of the he job in schools officially, they're banned from making it mandatory. but many schools ignore the bad forcing goals to cover their heads. that's putting many families in a difficult situation to where he dropped or not official leads. every girl's choice in indonesia. like at this high school in jakarta, the loose garment covering the head, neck, and chest is not part of the obligatory public school uniform. but when her daughter came home one day in tears after the teacher false to her to where the religious covering this muslim mother had had enough that she complained to the regional parliament about what she called him, a bullying at the school to protect her daughter for a more stigma, she asked to stay anonymous after i failed to complained my daughter told me,

many of her old female friends came forward and some part of her. they were complaining that their where to forced to read he job back in the 7th grade. the last him amaya, the politician who received the complaint, says that similar cases of intimidation that have been made public or just the tip of the iceberg. deep psychological distress is of the consequence. she says, give us a call. we are really concerned about the level of intolerance in school, and it's not just the children that are being bullied, even some teachers were forced to. where did he job? do we belong? colleagues say you look more beautiful or you will go to heaven if you where it can be very traumatizing, ma'am. barely ever since the early 2000, most of indonesia, the provinces and dozens of cities have gradually mandated the job. the rule effects over 150000 schools,

including this primary school in southern levy. teachers here say parents have been very supportive of the new regulation mandatory in islam. here we are trying to introduce the he jumped to the girls as early as possible, even though they haven't reached puberty yet. but this way there won't be any problem when the time comes for them to wear it. the jakarta educational authority disagrees a joint decree on school uniforms. by the indonesian government recently even banned public schools from making religious a tire mandatory. the move followed the national outrage over non muslim students being forced to cover their hair and chasm. teachers believed that girls must where he job, but that is not part of our regulation. i think there is no obligation to where the he job as part of the school uniform. if you are a muslim at the, it's a matter of choice for the student and their family. while the central government

position is clear, indonesia, the supreme court has revoked the decree in support of local autonomy. how far religious freedom actually goes is now in the hands of the countries provinces. in the case of the dakota high schooler, the teacher has since apologized. and u. s. judge has thrown out the 2000 and murder conviction of an unsafe eat. his case was made famous by a popular crime podcast. it cast out over whether he was truly responsible for the murder of his former high school go friend who was found strangled in baltimore park. in 9099, prosecutors say they've uncovered new evidence that could have bolstered his defense ah, released after more than 2 decades in prison. but whether i had none said, is guilty or innocent, isn't clear, prosecutors say they no longer have confidence in his conviction for the 1999

murder of his ex girlfriend hayman lane. but the states attorney says they haven't yet asserted sites. innocence and a judge has ordered he be placed in home detention a year, nearly a year long, exhaustive investigation reviewing the substantive facts of this case were several problematic issues were presented and thereafter, leading my office to file a motion to vacate the conviction of ad nice or even the lawyer for him in lays family says they're shocked by the decision. they want the truth to come out. if the truth is that somebody else killed her sister daughter, they want to know them more than anybody. they were shut, know of a legal process, went to court in the state attorney's office, and there was who was inexcusable. the podcast, serial made sides case famous in its debut season. in 2014 serial was a breakout hit. it helped to popularize audio storytelling and was followed by a wave of true crime. podcasts said has always maintained his innocence. the

podcast raised doubts over his conviction. prosecutors say that there are 2 other possible suspects who were never disclosed to sides defense tame. they also listed an unreliable witness and detective among their concerns. over the original trial. investigators say they also have new evidence there awaiting the results of a dna analysis to decide whether they will seek a new trial for said or if they will throw out the case against him altogether. ahead of the woke up, the german football fan representative is challenging carter's ambassador to germany on gay rights. the tournament kicks off in 2 months time, but there are concerns over how l g b t q fans will be welcomed. the representative dario middleton spoke out at a conference organized by germany's football federation. homosexuality is a legal encounter and can be punished with the death penalty. you know, i'm

a man and i love man. i do. please don't be shocked. have sex with other men. this is norma, so please get used to it, or stay out of football. because the most important rule in football, if football is for every one, it doesn't matter if you're lesbian. if you're gay, it's for everyone for the boys, for the girls, and for everyone in between. jonathan craig joins us from d. w. sports powerful words there. what more can you tell us? they are very powerful words when they, and i think it really underlines how controversial this will actually is because really ever since i was awarded the tournament in 2010 since such a long time ago now, doesn't it? there's been questions about how suitability is housed. forget for a moment that the tournament has to be moved from june july to november,

december because of the crazy hot temperatures are in the summer. you know, human rights groups have got concerns about how migrant workers a treated l. g b t key people. how are they going to be treated? so, you know, this conference hosted by the german people federation was this tends to be to discuss some of these issues, but they were really blown out in the 8th. my guess you can say, when i'm in the end of the stage now, he switched her english to address the ambassador directly, and he urged him to change the law about homosexuality and because her so abolish the death penalty. abolish all the penalties regarding sexual and gender identity. the rule that football is for everyone is so important. we cannot allow you to break it no matter how, which you are. so what's been the response from kata? well, interestingly we, i mean,

we saw ambassador al tiny in the 1st clip we showed you. he was obviously that he did have a chance to respond to me and spoke that part of the forum was off the record. essentially, people were that they couldn't talk about it, it wasn't broadcast publicly, but he did an address at the start of the forum promoting the fact really the focus is being taken away from football. i just read the study a little bit of what he said. we all care about human rights, but i would be enjoyed even more if i saw some concentration not only just on one subject, but the enjoyment of football has to complain that you know, when russia hosted to walk up 4 years ago, people were bringing up human rights then, but that's currently unsure because i was actually in russia for that phone event and we did talk about and i remember, but you know, i could talk clearly very sensitive about this, this thing that we are changing, but it's not going to happen overnight. that's the reason i wouldn't go to the walk up there. that's for sure. what will the world cup look for l g

b t q. fans who do want to go? well, they insist organizes that those fans will be welcome and accepted. but clearly, as it indicated that are still some concerns in an interview earlier this year, the official task with over 6 security for the tournament said any fans with rainbow flags, which is a symbol for the g. b t. community could have them confiscated that for their own protection, apparently to prevent them from being attacked for promoting gay. right. so it would make more sense just to stop it from happening in the 1st place. right. and then, you know, when a german chancellor shows hosted the idea of also earlier this year, and the idea was asked about gay people attending the tournament. and he said, we expect, and we want people to respect our culture. now it's not exactly clear what he meant by that, but it doesn't really give a positive sign, does it? and you can understand why some bt key fans a slightly nervous about traveling to town for the tournament. exactly. jonathan crane from dw sports. thank you very much. for bringing us up to date on that story
