ah ah ah ah, business day that we news line from berlin, ukrainian troops to retake more territory as they advanced against retreating russian forces. president de lansky says ukrainian troops have liberated dozens of towns in the past week and are now pressing a counter offensive in both the east and the cell. meanwhile, the,

you agrees fresh sanctions against russia after it's illegal annexations in ukraine . brussels promises a tough response with planned penalties for moscow to include a price cap on russian oil. and not backing down more protests in iran, as women and girls brave a government crackdown to demand an end to oppression. and a nobel prize for 3 pioneers of click chemistry. the royal swedish academy of sciences, honors the trio for discovering a way to snap molecules together. technology that could help make cancer drugs more effective. ah, i'm nichol fairly good to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin has signed laws,

formalizing the incorporation afore ukrainian territories that were illegally annexed after a series of discredited votes. ukrainian president followed amir zalinski, sad. ukrainian forces are making, quote, fast and powerful advances in the southern region of car sun. and in the east british intelligence officials say ukrainian troops are approaching the borders of the region of lou huts with the ukrainian flag going up again in a recaptured village in the hockey region. and skipper affordable just one of many places back under ukrainian control. as a result of recent advances, the blue and yellow flag is also back flying overhead here in the strategic eastern city of lemon as locals q for aid ukrainian troops re took the key hub in the dynette screeching over the weekend. just hours after

rushes present. putin announced the illegal annexation of the whole region. signs of the fierce battle fought here recently, as well as the months of russian occupation are everywhere. with russian troops forced to retreat here and across the south and east. and with a chaotic military mobilization sparking widespread criticism, putin said that changes will be made to the conscription rules for students. but despite all the recent setbacks, moscow hasn't lost its power to strike far beyond the front lines. as residents of this city, just 85 kilometers south of keith were reminded on wednesday do ship this to so i woke up to a buzzing sound. i wake up on a hear that sound getting closer and closer. oh, so, and somewhere near my house it exploded. well, according to officials,

at least 6 so cooled kamikaze drones struck buildings including an army base in the area, injuring one person. while moscow has ramped up its use of suicide, drones, which keep claims or iranian made since september wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital. and to take a closer look at the military situation, the ukraine were now joined by john spencer. he's the chair of the urban war, 1st studies the at the madison policy for him. he's in colorado springs in the united states. mr. spencer, good to see you. it seems like every day brings new games for ukraine and the illegally annexed regions. and more and more set backs for russia. how do you see the current situation? the i see it is just that every day we wake up or we watch as the line moves, as ukraine still holds moment of what they've had for weeks in advance seen while

russian formations are crumbling, to be honest, how long do you think ukraine can keep up this momentum. yeah, the good. yet only the russians can i can say that the ukrainians have fought this entire offensive and really this whole war smarter. um, you are taken advantage of your enemies weaknesses, not interrupting your enemy when he makes a mistake. you great, and you have to be careful not to overstretched themselves and being able to consolidate the gauge they achieve. but um, even in, in the south, in harrison's major advances in everything that i'm seeing, is there just a higher quality formation than what the russians have been able to put together after their defeat back in april? yeah, let me put, has now softened the criteria on who will be called up in this very unpopular draft . and do you think throwing more people at the problem is going to solve this very

bad situation for russia on the battlefield? absolutely not. it's only going to get tens of thousands more russian soldiers killed in ukraine. they're taking these draftees who may have served in the military at one point and forcing them. mean actually they've had 3 times 4 times the amount of people they forced into ukraine. now, leaving rushes, the numbers of russian men who are escaping russia. but just adding men to the military. there is no infrastructure there, there are no unit cohesion. there are no officers and in ceo's, it can take these new soldiers and put them into a fighting formation. it's just going to get a lot more people killed and it won't help russia achieve any of its objectives. so what is russia strategy here at this point? in the war. yeah. is it i can't answer that question,

but it's really beyond common sense. what's happening in putin is really taking the entire country down a road of a rogue nation, failed state. it's the dark path. i can't see any, any advances that they could put together in ukraine. me, ukraine's getting stronger every day. their western support is flowing in their formations, are actually getting smarter and stronger as they engage with the russians and learn from their operations that they're conducting at now, obviously pushed into a corner and away russia has threatened to use nuclear weapons at, with the west stressing and staking buttons word seriously, but also allowing not to be intimidated by them. how big do you think a threat as i mean you had to take every threat from a nuclear armed country as a reasonable, as legitimate but foods really a, a nuclear terrorist. and he's a, he's a,

a global leader who's threatening its neighbor with a nuclear weapon just because it's that desperate. and, but even in his desperation, i honestly think that there's no way that he'll use it. because every person you're every political leader, every regime has the number one insures, his survival in the west in many nations have been very clear that if putin uses a weapon of mass destruction in ukraine, it will have catastrophic the consequences for him, for his military in ukraine in a black sea. i am for russia as a state, it would, it would just not make sense. it wouldn't help putin get to his goals, even his illegal goals. military expert, john fencer, in colorado, in the united states. thank you so much for your time. tonight but you our corresponded money, has building a visit, age, ukrainian tropes in the south,

close to the front line and her son despite looming fairs of a cold winter. he found soldiers and residents optimistic about further games. they are digging in. the soldiers have only recently moved forward to the new position. now they are fortifying their defenses, repairing the trench if be more than 3 months now since ukrainian president volume is zalinski and ice cubes counter offensive. in the salt law, we are constantly trying to drive the enemy from their positions with these attempts have been successful column and we are moving forward. we now have new positions and we fortifying them. that is how we make a constant progress forward. you can turn a little from a split for quite some time. ukraine's successes in the south have been less spectacular than those in the north east of the country. but recently the army has

been able to make significant gains down south as well. the koreans are convinced that their tactics are more efficient and also more sustainable and the russians there. but that doesn't mean moving forward as a walk in the park on the la hello elizabeth music. they just keep aggressively charging at us. well, unless they don't care about their own losses, garage, you get the impression that they just don't give a damn about their soldiers, that the doubles their tactics are simple, it's easy to read them or not but rash. this means that we have to be permanently on watch was video. we can never, ever lower our guard. he said that it was a spoil versus what all does. laila, bizarrely behind the lines, villages have come under fire. russian forces passed through the settlement early on in the war. later, they were driven back. but since the territory has been back on the ukrainian

control, the shelves have been fooling all over the place. believe british like the in the beginning when i 1st experienced an incoming fire and there were explosions everywhere, i thought it would block my house. i left the time. but when i heard that things had come down a bit, i came back. i repaired the roof because it started raining. then i decided to stay on stars. russia has seen tremendous losses of personnel and equipment. that's why president portion has started mobilizing with troops. but the soldiers here are calm, but the prospect of move russian reinforcements. and i wanted know, brought the call, which is the 2nd draft, whoever they wanna. and however many they want on you. but the ro, morales, of the opinion of the locals towards stumbling will not allow them to relax. jim that if will i will to the slot. now the soldiers are preparing for winter, hoping that they can gain as much territory as they can for as long as the

conditions allow it to. a european union has agreed to impose new sanctions on russia in response to the war in ukraine. this will include a cap on the price of russian oil exports. the security threat from russia is also on the table as members of the european parliament need and transport. the u commission president has told emma piece that member states need to step up. the security of their energy infrastructure was left on the line also said the e u is now ready to discuss a price cap on gas as prices sore on the t. w corresponding mach thunder followed the day in the european parliament at stratford, the european parliament. this time around has not adopted a final position on russia's aggression against ukraine yet. but from following the debates of the plenary, it seems evident that across political groups and across party lines, there is an understanding that russians claims to ukraine are illegal. they are null and voided,

they don't change any facts on the ground. they haven't very strong statements by any piece. some took to the stage to the podium, to call russia terrorist state. now, the common understanding seems to be that sanctions are needed. some political groups have been asking for more in addition to that, the conservative block, for example, has been calling for weapons deliveries from countries like germany and france to send tanks to ukraine. the left, on the other hand, has been asking to reopen diplomatic channels. in addition to sections, but bottom line here is that the european parliament and the you say that russia's claims to ukraine, this annexation is a legal and should not be tolerated. german chancellor, olaf shots, and spanish prime minister pedro sanchez have held talks over a new pipeline to secure european gas supplies. the 2 leaders discuss the plan during a one day summit in north western spain, energy supply security corporation, and the ongoing european responds to russia's attack on ukraine. we're all on the

agenda and eat at least nina has is travelling with the german chancellor and has just attended that press conference. nina, will this new pipeline go ahead? well, it is not, in fact a new pipeline. it is something else that was agreed upon. a couple of years ago, but of course then the times were different and people looked at the money and people considered it to be something that was not worth all the money that would have had to go into developing this pipeline. so spain has built, it's part the, an iberian pipe peninsula consisting of spain and portugal is an intensive and importer of liquefied natural gas. for example, from algeria they get a lot of energy, but they don't have any link to the european continent yet. and so now the plan is to extend that pipeline to let it go into france. but the french president in

monroe mccall has so far been against this plan. he's voiced opposition because he, he argues that such a pipeline could not, in fact be transformed. so that it could one day also transport am hydrogen green, hydrogen. that would, is one of the arguments that the people in favor of building this pipeline or using that it would not just be for importing gas into europe. and but in fact of many people are saying that the minor, my call has been against it because of the strong nuclear power lobby in his country. and so today in the press, a we heard from chancello left shows that he is hearing fest signs from france. that indeed they are beginning to understand that at times have changed and that europe does need every source of energy that he can get. because of course, as the fact that a russian gas exports have been cut off, essentially to europe and europe needs to diversify. so it does seem as though there is a bit of movement in that direction until leaders also discuss strengthening

corporation on defense and foreign policy issues. what more can you tell us about on there was a debate here in spain about whether or not the german chancellor and the german government had in fact, proposed to spain that they would take part in a defense system that would help shield europe from potential attacks via the air, germany is very much in the planning phase, and we're expecting such a system to be operational quite soon because of cause germany is very potentially exposed to potential russian attacks from the neighbourhood. but to, to day, both leaders said that this issue was definitely not on the agenda. germany is going to pursue it, but spain isn't. however, when it comes to foreign policy, both leaders have agreed to intensify their ties. and one concrete example of that is that they're going to call each other before important votes in the european union so that they can coordinate for example,

when it comes to the topic of sanctions. and that is of course, something where these 2 voices would gain a lot more impetus once they've co ordinated, they say they're on the same page anyway. but to have it formalized like that is definitely a very clear sign that germany and spain are intensifying that ties to possibly very consequential meeting that dw nina honda is covering for us there and i couldn't. yeah, thank you so much. senior ukrainian official has told d w that key of take seriously threats by vladimir putin than any attack by the west on russia could provoke a nuclear responds. those warnings have gained new significance following the illegal annexation of more sections of ukrainian territory. a horse, a half cra, a senior aide to the ukrainian president was speaking on this week's conflicts on will take it seriously now because because lucre no, he is you may not have any habit battlefield instruments to,

to withstand the ukrainian or counter advances. so i think you're going to take this seriously and the international community has to take it seriously. after all, we have several nuclear station, the work they have to react. they have to prevent him from doing these. they have to tell him about the diary consequences. if he even dares tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu? to use it partially on the battlefield on some are remote areas the should look, you should not even think about this and you can see the fall conflict on interview with yourself. at 1930 u t. c. today or online at d, w dot com slash conflict. a found take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world to day. afghan officials say an explosion has rocked a mosque in the capital. kabul near the heavily fortified interior ministry compound. the blast killed at least 4 people and wounded a further 25 officials did not immediately say what caused the explosion,

but said the mosque was sometimes used by interior ministry employees. the family of cinematographer, helena hutchins, who was accidentally shot and killed by you as actor alec baldwin on the set of the film rust has agreed to settle their lawsuit. the family was suing baldwin and the films producers for wrongful death, baldwin, and others could. however, still face criminal charges to iran, where there has been no let up. and the anti government protests that have been sweeping the country. the unrest was triggered by the death of masa on mi ni, a 22 year old woman who died last month in the custody of the country, so called morality police. she was arrested for allegedly violating iran strict islamic dress code. her death has drawn international condemnation and demonstrations of solidarity power. these universities to move it on are chanting. goodman, life and freedom. it's a slow conduct,

stretching the hearts of many wondered white including members of the european parliament. the her off we, we are going to stand with you. gian love as well. g. women lies freedom, friends, 3rd leg to get bernard shots, extending the support with this symbolic act. oh eat on the critic leadership sees christian enemies are behind the andy government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on supremely dead, ayatollah hominy. and the countries strict drift court. oh, he just was the excuse of our enemies to destroy our unity. the u. s. and e. israel are the root of all this unrest, just because they cannot fight us. they are trying to attack us by creating internal problems. but the anti government buddhists eat on show no sign of

lifting up full weeks on this lee to speak. you posted online, appears to show female students heckling a member to feed on spastic force. that much fear it, but a military organization is blamed for the violent correct down on the demonstrations. the death of my son, immunity has clearly exposed the fort lines that existed that slumber country and that aunt's billing this to brutally crush any opposition that challenges its power . the nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to a trio of scientists for their advances in click chemistry, which allows molecules to be snapped together like pieces of lego, the panel of judges and sweden, praise the scientists for grade and quote, an ingenious tool for building molecules the process could have important

applications and treating and diagnosing disease as a cancer. carolyn bazzi at stanford university in the us, more to melville at the university of copenhagen and denmark, and barry sharpness at scripps research was celebrated with the world's most prestigious prize and chemistry. thank you so much for all of you. i'm absolutely done. i'm. i'm sitting here. i can hardly breathe. i'm so la. not entirely positive that it's real, but it's getting really by the minute. the 3 scientists work is all about building blocks. but these blocks are slightly more complex than lego shop. liz found a way to click 2 molecules together to make new materials. he was the 1st to come up with the idea of click chemistry. more than 20 years ago. copper dramatically accelerates these click reactions. that was melville's discovery when the focus shifts to human cells. copper isn't such a desirable way to connect molecules. patrone found out sugar structures,

could lichens make molecules stick to cells? this means the pathways of drugs can be illuminated to trace their effectiveness for the material. so you have this possibility of sort of modify materials to put to kili. can you activate the song them? you can have a surface and suddenly you say i want this to be anti bacterial and, and you click on that surface compound. it sort of works against bacteria, so, or you want something that sort of takes up some light and on your so drove, you click a molecule like that on, on the surface. so it is all or the here and there is a lot, a lot of big interest from the industry. also in this area, the scientists work has contributed a wealth of research to the study of diseases including drug development advances in dna sequencing. and a new amine therapy for cancer. one of the most successful franchises in history is celebrating a big anniversary. it's fixed fears,

thin james bond 1st pack cinemas. the 1st double. 07 movie doctor know, premiered in london on october. the 5th at 1962 bond has been in the headlines ever since and now and again with fans speculating who will play agent, douglas f. a next bung. ah, james von swab, quick witted james bond. never shies away from danger. women or a vodka martini medium guy martini lemon field sake. a monster premiering in 1900. 62. the james bond film franchise had a humble beginning, doctor. know, was a low budget flick storing. and then unknown actor sean connery, whose camera presence would make james bond and international sex symbol. unlike the upper crust bond in author, ian fleming's novels, connery came from the working class, a former milkman and coffin polisher. he brought

a new edge to double 07. alongside swiss actress ursula undress as honey writer. the very 1st bond girl looking for shell. no, i'm just looking. but reviews were mixed time magazine called connery's performance on a slightly silly fail. the vatican had stronger words declaring it a dangerous mixture of violence, vulgarity, sadism and sex. honey. the kremlin, called bonds. the embodiment of capitalist evil was your disregard for human life. he was to working full east, east west, just points of the compass. now 60 years later, the cold war hero is still making headlines. this aston martin bond mobile from the film. no time to digest, sold at christie's for 3000000 pounds. and with the current bond, daniel craigs retirement from the roll. speculations abound. who will play double? 07 next bonds producing brother sister do. oh michael wilson and barbara broccoli

are on the lookout. he's been so able to, to move with the times with the various actors who betrayed them. so who will it be? there was speculation. the next bond could be a woman, but the producer say it will definitely be a man eaters. elbow long considered a hot contender says he's out of the running. there have also been rumors around superman star, henry cavil bridget, and act a rakish on page and pop star harry styles. or maybe it'll be another unknown, like sean connery, 60 years ago. while i'm writing for harry south is a reminder at the top now. sorry, at this hour you has agreed new round of sanctions against russia after moscow's illegal annexation of 4 regions in ukraine. plant measures are said to include a price cap on russian oil with you now for complex zone. and that area with the

senior ukrainian presidential, a horse of polk, got a call for berlin. thank you so much for your company with ah, with

who into the conflict. so no sooner had president putin, amex for reducing you, cried the news. troops were forced to flee from a key in one humiliation wasn't lost on russian commanders. my guess is we can, if you horse your craft deputy head of the presidential administration, as you craig back to the food into a corner where he might use his nuclear arsenal. conflict zone

next on d, w, h o o d r e a. and the pillar of sticks and society, a symbol of arbitrary rule in the struggle for justice. taxes the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of the nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined a tax on top of the tax on top of the tax. that's the one that broke the camel's bank. i've been rambling for in the thinking to myself. when is it all going to

come crashing down? you pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d. w with no sooner had president putin, amex, for regions in ukraine. and these troops were forced to flee from a key city in one of them. and russian tank defences were breached in another. the humiliation wasn't lost on russian commanders with the chechen warlord rams. i'm clear of calling from moscow to use tactical nuclear weapons. my guess this week from key f is a horse.
