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 off to rushes, president 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 hare and across the south and east. and with a chaotic military mobilization sparking wide spread criticism, putin said that changes will be made to the conscription rules for students are villa. but despite all the recent setbacks, moscow hasn't lost its power to strike far beyond the front lines as residence of

this city. just 85 kilometer south of keith were reminded on wednesday due shippers who were come to a buzzing sound awoke up, but i heard that sounds getting closer and closer. one of simulation to some wind in my house, it exploded according to officials at least 6. so called can a kazi drone 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, wednesday his attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital. mike martin is a war studies fellow at king's college in london. i asked him whether ukraine now has the upper hand in the war. cry had the upper hand about the last 3 or 4 months . ever since the, your, your watches will remember over the summer. there was

a big lot of news about russian advances, so in don't boss really, that was the high water mark and since and the ukrainians have been on the offensive and they've had the momentum with them. they have had the upper hand since then and how sustainable would you say your grades progresses or what do they need to be able to sustain this kind of progress? well in september, you remember there were these big gains about 9000 square kilometers in the north, around hockey. and, and there was a big question then as to whether ukraine would be able to sustain their advances. and now we see not one, but 2 fresh offensives in the north east and the south of the same time. and i think very, very interestingly, president lensky has canceled the draft of new soldiers in ukraine for october. and it's done every 3 months. and he said we have enough soldiers, so i think as well as being a very clever piece of communications,

it does signal the actually ukraine is confident that it can make, continue to make significant advances on the battlefield. you know, that is very much an interesting detail that you point out there turning over to the russian side. so there's been lots of losses on the battlefield. there's been missteps with this mobilization are partial mobilization and norm. what impact might be having on vladimir putin is thinking well, i think that the only effect of the partial mobilization is on russian domestic politics. as you say, it's been a complete disaster and has very is had very little and will have very little effect on the course of the war. if i were president putin, i would be feeling quite traps and quite hemmed in. now. the mobilization of regular rational forces has failed and has generated a lot of discontent at home. and in addition, your listeners watch a sorry will probably know that russian relies on mercenaries in the wagner group

and also militias. chechen militias, and those are starting to posture. they're starting to blame each other for the failure in the war. so these 3 bits of the russian armed forces and the wagner group, the chechens and the regular russian military are all starting to blame each other for the failures of the war. is really not looking very good for president teaching you mentioned just now that he might feel penned in does. does that spell the possibility of something good coming out of this an outcome here and enter this war? or does this make him more unpredictable and possibly more dangerous? yeah, i think that's a great question. i think you've hit the nail on the head. i think there will be a military outcome to this war. i think that the ukrainians will defeat the russian armed forces in ukraine. indeed, we're seeing that at the moment, what we're seeing is the collapse of the russian forces in you cried. what is not clear is what the outcome will be from that politically. in russia. it seems

inconceivable that piece in black be able to remain in power beyond the you know, the defeat of, of the professional army in ukraine. but i think the problem is that what comes off to it's may be worse, it may be more hard line, maybe more right wing, maybe less friendly towards the west if that's indeed possible. and i think this is the question that swirling round in, in paris and washington in berlin and london, people just don't know what's going to come afterwards. although of course, they have to support the ukrainians in defeating this russian aggression. a lot of unknown, unknown to point out there for us. mike martin war studies fellow at kings college in london. thanks very much. thank you very much. the european union has agreed to impose new sanctions on russia. the measures include a cap on the price of moscow's oil exports. european commission president was a founder alliance as member states need to step up energy security. she believes

the you is now also ready to discuss a cap on soaring gas prices and the european parliament has been debating action against russia to have you correspond. max xander reports from trust board 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're having some very strong statements by me 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 st tanks to ukraine. the left, on the other hand,

has been asking to reopen diplomatic channels in addition to sanctions. but bottom line here is that the european parliament and the you say that russia's claims to ukraine, this annexation is illegal and should not be tolerated. turning out some other stories, making news right now. russia saudi arabian other oil producers have agreed to a major cut in output to, to push up and boil prices, and call the u. s. has condemned the decision by the cartel. opec. clos got on as short side. it feared that global fuel prices will climb further. now we could be acute secretary, north korea fired more ballistic missiles in the sea of japan. according to the south korea military. it's the 2nd launch. in today's denomination, security council has been meeting in new york to consider further sanctions, lord against young ha. kenneth faso has officially appointed a new president after its 2nd to this year. abraham char becomes head of state and

lost in iran, is stained with blood. neither history know a law or god almighty will forgive you for the crimes against humanity that you are committing against your own citizens. until the women of your on off we, we are going to stand with you d n g m as id. one them like freedom, friend star flag to get their nash adults extending their support with diff, symbolic act. oh is it on the clerical leadership? see, its western enemies are behind the and the government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on supreme liter, ayatollah hominy. and the countries strict dress court, he job 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, putting it on show no sign of lighting up for weeks. on this latest speech you posted online, appears to show female students heckling a member to feed on, spotted force that much feared better military organization is blamed for the violent crack down on the demonstrations. the death of martha meaning has clearly exposed the fort lines that exist if they slam it country, and that on to willingness to brutally crush any opposition that challenges its power. 3 sciences share this year's nobel prize for chemistry. they won for developing new techniques to attach molecules together. the technology could make cancer drugs more effective and also have applications in farming. an industry.

carolyn patrols the at stanford university in the us. more to melville at the university of copenhagen and denmark and barry sharp, las at scripps research was celebrated with the wealth most prestigious prize and chemistry. thank you so much. ah, all of you. i'm absolutely stunned. 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 a slightly more complex than lego shop is 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 patrols. he 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 materials, you have this possibility of sort of modify materials to put, to kill it. can you activate the song, them, you can have a surface and suddenly you say i want these to be on the bacterial and on you'll click on that surface compound, the filter 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's already 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. in india, millions of people are taking part in the hindu festival of the sheriff. after 2 years of music celebrations during the pandemic in a battle of good versus evil performers in new delhi staged the defeat of brovana,
