closing all raising their flag once again. these images, purportedly show ukrainian troops take him back, control of li mom said okay, after the russian defense minister confirmed his troops withdrawal from the town was, well there on the british only by despite our significant superiority in forces and mains, the enemy brought in reserves and continued the offensive, due to the threat of encirclement, the allied troops were withdrawn from the settlement of leman to more advantageous linesman, laborin over good middleton, the recapture of the town. internet's crumbs is 24 hours after moscow. formalized its illegal annexation of the region. after what came in the west, branded a sham referendum. huh. meanwhile, close to li, mom. a local official said dozens were killed by russian shelling as a tried to flee. he branded it

a cruel act that can't be justified. once of either spoke of her experience, we did as we were going along the shortened tata to abruptly from our left. the driver told me to get out of the car fast. we got out. we'll land the ground to the shell and continued her. yeah, the crawled along some rail tracks who the shot at the whomever there couldn't even raise our hat, even though i wanted to look at my dad. i saw my dad get shot. he was shot in the hat. i saw it with my own eyes. 13 children and a pregnant woman are understood to be among the dead. these images, a reminder, but despite territorial victories, the human cost of the war continues to rise. as fateful correspondent nick connelly and keith earlier and he told me why the withdrawal of the russian

troops from lemon is so significant. so 1st of all, this is russia putting on a very brave face on what is a pretty good dia to events just a day off that big event in the kremlin ho celebrations, claiming that these regions include internets gwilym on, is, are now part of russia forever and i think they definitely didn't leave in any kind of orderly fashion. there was one root out left. and basically, given that they're now at the russian lea ship has forbidden its troops from hennington observing to earlier becoming prisons war they had to take that road and we've seen images of lots of dead rush and so is lots of destroyed russian transport vehicles as to what this does for you? christ position. well, it's basically the northwest, an entry point to don't last is not far from place. looks evidence. can this a chance, if you remember in the summer with the scenes of pretty awful and protracted fighting, russia invested thousands not, and the thousands of its soldiers lives and a lot of resorts into capturing those towns. and now ukraine seemingly has a failure charts and taken back in pretty short time. so basically you chrysler

push home. it's advantage while it still on a roll, while those russian mobilized, newly mobilized forces. haven't reached the front london any major sense and tried to put more pressure on to moscow to show that it really can make good on these claims. that it is now, you know, taking control of these regions that it is there for ever so far. we've not seen anything from russia that really strength of positions, in spite of all the kind of rhetoric all the upping the ante or the threats of nuclear weapons. nothing really has changed for russia except the rhetoric. he de leon conley, they're reporting from keith. let's take a look now at some of the other news from around the world. german defense minister christine alum christ says germany will deliver for the state of the art ed offense systems to ukraine within days. the comments came during a surprise visit to odessa, a 1st visit since the war began, and i said germany will continue to coordinate with the allies on any decisions regarding keith's request for jasmine battle tanks. so,

counting is underway in latvia. the baltic states general election has been overshadowed by russia's invasion and annexation of parts of ukraine. exit polls suggest that the ruling centrist party, which has committed to backing keith, is in the lead. early result also suggests that traditionally pro crumb and parties have suffered major setbacks, iranians and their supporters have rallied in cities across the globe and solidarity with protests sparks by the death of martha and mimi in police custody and terran activists say demonstrations of taking place in nearly $150.00 s around the world. i mean even death at the hands of iran's notorious morality, police has gone weeks of unprecedented unrest in iran. now the keynote fast, those military officers who toppled the countries leader full only dom uba just one day ago, say that he's now planning a counter offensive. the military also is accusing france of helping dummy bar with

protest as reported to have attacked the countries embassy. in a televised address, the army said dunbar has taken refuge refuge at a french military base. now that is a claim that france denies a group of soldiers, overthrew dummy by an officer who himself took power in a qu, in the west african nation. last january. captain abraham in toronto, declared himself the nation's new leader on friday, in a qu, that's been condemned by the u. s. the united nations and the african union. journalist henry wilkins is in the capital wagner to go. and he gave us more details about the current situation and burkina faso. yeah, i mean it's, it's not beyond the rounds of possibility. and certainly we know that the to, to power yes that i don't have full control of the army. it's been helicopters circling the center of the new leader in

trying to interview on the radio today where he has said that the, the helicopters that the military helicopters have been circling the, the city did not belong to a man under his control of that. he also mentioned that there have been exchanges of gunfire between different fractions within the army today as well. so it's, it's pretty clear that he doesn't have full control of the situation of the moment . so it is quite possible that to me could be trying to capitalize on that. so the army claims the neither is hiding at a french base. france is denying any involvement in all of them. is it likely that france is helping the answered leader? this something is very unlikely to be honest. it's a long time to have a long standing relationship with to me and it would be a huge p r disaster for them. if i, even since they, they've said in

a statement this often they have absolutely nothing to do with this and they're not sheltering. if it then turned out that they, that they were, it would have all sorts of implications for operation here in the western. so hell, i just really can't see them taking that kind of risk. now, as we said, reports of more gunfire in the capital like, i do the way you are. so it's obviously not guessing any comma that now is it despite the coffee? no, i mean, because he doesn't come in so facts until 9 pm tonight. but so i drive around the, the center of the city of this afternoon. and, you know, there are still soldiers blockading laws. also the center of government building since all yesterday, they soldiers looked fairly remarks today. very different. they were hiding behind cover and had the guns point seeds of the, of the roads as if they were expecting an attack. at any moments people were closing their business is that there was

a real powerful sense of tension and even share in the emphasis he today. journalist henry wilkins of reporting from wanted. okay, thanks so much. thank you. brazil's presidential hopefuls have held their final rallies ahead of elections. this sunday. i consult son i, the widening inequality has boosted left. if the former president, louisa nathaniel, led to fill that he's pulling well ahead of right wing incumbent shy, eval scenario is being blamed for economic ways that have driven many in brazil into severe policy. for the past 3 years. sway lease has been living in a park and sell paolo back then she lost her job and could no longer pay her rent together with her partner swirlies, collect unwanted food, and begs for money on the street. it will begin, i picked it out of the garbage, but i'm going to eat it. sway, lease is far from alone. the un says one 3rd of the brazilian population suffers
