advanced against retreating russian forces. president lensky says his troops have liberated dozens of towns in the past week and are now pressing a counter offensive in both the east and the south. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. and we'll come to our top stories in a moment, but 1st some breaking news. 3 scientists will share this years. nobel prize for chemistry, morton mailed out from denmark and the americans. carolyn, betsy and barry sharp list have been recognized for the development of a bio awful gone old chemistry and click chemistry which in both attaching molecules together to create materials. the announcement makes very sharpness only the 5th person to receive a 2nd nobel prize. the

european union has agreed to impose new sanctions on russia. official said they move to send this quote, strong response to moscow's illegal annexation of 4 regions in ukraine. it's the blocks 8th package of measures against russia since president vladimir putin launch the invasion in february. the agreement includes the imposition of a price cap on russian oil exports designed to impact the kremlin revenues from sales around the world end up in some now let's go to dw correspondent, a jack parrot, who joins us from brussels at jack. what more do we know about the details of this sanctions package? we'll go how they've managed to get it over the line. and that's the significant part. at the moment, we had a tweet from the check presidency of the european union saying that they have managed to agree to this deal. we have very little details about what this oil

price cap will mean. how much will cost, how long it will last for what exactly it will affect, but they have agreed the legal basis for it, which is what was proposed by the european commission president at the end of last week when they outline these sanctions. the intention is to try and hit russian oil to cap the price to make sure that they don't profit from you imports and indeed, imports around the world that the uses as funding the war machine for russia's war in ukraine. significantly though, gearhart what we've seen is the hungarians, who have been extremely opposed to any sanctions on fossil fuel imports that worried about their own energy mix in this energy crisis that we're living through at the moment. they have said that they've got an exemption out of this, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry said that the new e u sanctions don't harm hungarian interests. they've been granted exemptions and that the you sanctions would have violated their own interests and endangered the security of the energy supply. so this is

a difference now. hunger hungry is simply being taken out of the sanctions because they need unanimity of all of the european union's countries. the question is, as well, the other countries, cyprus motor in greece, who had real concerns about this oil cap because they ship a lot of russian oil themselves. we don't know exactly the details of what they've managed to get or what they've been given as part of the agreement to get this over the line. now jack, this is the 8th package in 8 months against russia by the e. u. how effective have the previous packages of sanctions been? no, that's the big debate, isn't it? how, how much is this really affecting the kremlin and the positions of the kremlin? the you says it hostile european commission, president us live on the line. she's been speaking in strasburg this morning. she said, we have acted quickly and decisively with the sanctions. and they're trying to turn off the types of funding for, for, for the russian government. so that,

that they're not earning money from the european union to continue the war. but as you say, this is the 8 friend of sanctions. now, massive sways of the russian economy. have been hit, and president putin has continued with his plan for this war. we saw the referenda . this is specifically the sanctions room response to that, the in the 4 regions of east and ukraine. he persisted and pursued with them. i suppose the european union says we'll, we'll say this is what we have to do. these are the tools that we have on. i'd our disposal and they're trying to crank up the pressure, the harder they go on on fossil fuels, the harder that it will be seen as a hit on the russian economy. the dubuque responded jack parrot, very porting from brussels. thank you jack. now ukraine says it's forces, have retaken towns in the south and east of the country in regions that flood me put in declared last week would be russian forever. the ukrainian claims have not been independently verified, but regional officials installed by moscow have acknowledged setback setbacks in

the her son. region. ukrainian forces are also advancing the east after capturing a key town in the north of dough nets. ukrainian president, blood missouri lansky has now signed a decree declaring talks with russia impossible. while vladimir putin is president . a social media video shows the ukrainian flag flying in the northern clark, if region and ukraine's army released this video of its flag flying in carson in the south. he has counter offensive continues to push forward doing of holiday, the offensive movement of our army, and all our defenders continued eulogy. there are new liberated settlements in several regions. i'm fierce fighting continues in many areas of the front jungle. but beyond the victory, the cost of war emerges. here and the man we captured by ukraine at the weekend.

bodies of russian fighters line the streets. ukrainian soldiers must also collect the bodies of their own that ugly, and we fight for our land for our children, so that people can live better. but all this come, that is a very high price residence, like 85 year old valentina struggle to make due with what little they have left. the russians may have been forced out. but daily life here remains grueling. with which i'm already fed up with everything. even for peace drank quality and for our children and families to be alive and healthy with the summer home in towns lately, man, things are far from normal. but there are moments to pause and reflect on what the

success means for their future. as the ukrainian forces have advanced against russian troops in ukraine retaking territory, there has been speculation that moscow may be preparing to use a tactical nuclear weapons. a video of a convoy of equipment moving across russia, sparked fear and conjecture about what length putin might be willing to go to us is forces face heavy losses on the battlefield. now let's discuss this with conrad musica. he's the director of defense consultancy, russian consulting, in good dance in poland. conrad you have analyzed that footage that we've just seen . what does it tell you? unfortunately, an analysis that we did to was misinterpreted and in many western outlets, ah, and wrote and which, which raised quite

a lot of concern all across europe. i think. but essentially what this video showed was that there was a train that was on the move and the trends carrying equipment which belonged to the 12th main directorate of the russian ministry of defense is director. it is quite specialized because it only deals with storage and handling and delivering of your clar munitions to russian. your units. the video did not show that the train was carrying any new nuclear payloads. at the time we did, we did not know what it was made and we did not know where whether the train was moving to ukraine or out of your credit since then, more information was published and we know that the trend was actually moving north east of moscow, so quite far away from ukraine and still you are not,

we are not able to determine what the train was moving to ukraine or not. however, it is a conclusion that the strain was carrying your club a lot and it was going to ukraine was definitely far fetched. and it's not something that we obviously wanted to achieve with our analysis. ok now talking about the likelihood of the use of nuclear weapons by russia in that conflict. earlier we spoke to a military analyst who said, he doesn't think putin will, you know, to a weapon as it won't help him to win the war, but rather help him lose it. would you agree? i think there are a lot of risks involved when it comes to nuclear weapons and i dont think that i and i also don't think that our wrote that russia can know when this war are using tactical nuclear weapons. and we know that nato would probably respond,

ah, it's debatable, it's, it's debatable to towards extent and how, but i think it would only make a, make it more difficult for russia to achieve anything in this war. because i don't think that you bring us will to fight our to defend our ontario. she can be broken through a fact called weapon tactical nuclear weapon our release. however, the truth is that for conventional point of view, the only tool that russia heart now has available is men power. they do not health, they do not have any. any special law tanks in mariah craft to more infantry fighting vehicles that can deploy into the battlefield to change the situation. so they can only rely on the mass of the russian armed forces door stop. ukraine on advancing in crucial parts of the front are if they will not be able to achieve doubt and with them and power are

a thing that russian conventional auctions will run out. thank you very much. defense analyst conrad musica. thank you very much. ah tom now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. at this hour in an asians president, joke of the dodo has visited the city of milan. this side of last weekend stampede . a football match we daughter met with victims relatives and promised to find what he called the root cause of the disaster that left at least 131 people dead. south korea and the united states have conducted missile drills and the sea of japan hours after north korea launched a nuclear capable missile over japan. washington condemned john young's actions as reckless residents of japan's northeastern regions were ordered to take shelter. as the missile flew over the country, foreman,
