incorporating for illegally annexed ukrainian regions into the russian federation. as, as his forces suffer, fresh defeats with ukraine. continuing to retake territory in the south and east of 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 la man as locals q for aid ukrainian troops re took the key hub and the dynette screeching over the weekend. just hours after 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 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, abdullah. 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 you prefer work up to a buzzing sound? a woke up at a heard that sounds getting closer and closer. one of sibley and somewhere near my house it exploded. according to officials, at least 6 so called cannon kazi 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 are a rainy and made since september wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital. so to ukraine then i did because follow mathias pulling out joins us from usually in the south of the country. welcome mathias at, let's start with reports of russian forces on the run from advancing ukrainian forces, attacking civilian targets in separation or what do you hear? yeah, we've heard that apartment buildings have been hit by rockets ends up or is yeah, it's a pretty much a common pattern that when the russian army stuff is defeat somewhere in the battle field, the revenge often comes via hits on a civilian objects. and that's what has been happening in the past days. again, what we are seeing is that a little bit a shift in the pattern these in the past few weeks,

we've seen mostly strikes on civilian objects near the front lines and heart give nikolai of near where i am or in support asia because it seems that the russian supply of mid range rockets is also not indefinite. but recently we've also seen strikes as the one that was just mentioned in the report that happened yesterday on bill, etc, which is very close to key if i buy these drones, these newly acquired drones that russia has gotten from iran. and of course, they enhance their possibility to strike inside the country a little bit. they fly blue booth, the ukrainian air defense is able to shoot them down, but not always, often they scape the raiders because of their flying patents and elite russians special forces. the said to have suffered high casualties in the fight for lehman. and what does that do for the morale of newly mobilized reservists?

well, the question is, what the morale of newly mobilized reserve is, was like be before these news even. and the other question is, how much of these news they will get, but it doesn't look like that. russia is mobilizing a highly motivated force. here we've seen these pictures of people camping in the woods of people being forcibly drawn into the army. of course, the volunteer army is much more motivated than an army that doesn't really know why they are there and who weren't ready to go there by their own, in the 1st place. so at least in the ukrainian side, they don't expect a big change in the battlefield by these newly drawn in reservations because they can see so far. that's what they've been telling us that the russian army is not very well coordinated and not very motivated. and that's the advantage on the ukraine of the ukraine's on the battlefield. besides, of course, some of the western weapons that have helped these advances. and mateus,

once again, we're hearing ukrainian forces have made more disturbing discoveries in the wake of the russian retreat. yes, there are new mass graves discovered. we've also seen a few torture chambers that have been disclosed by the, by the radius of the happy found by the ukrainians when they came into these settlements that they had just taken back. and it seems to be a pattern that when the russians arrived, especially in the bigger settlements, that they set up these torture chambers that they take people whom they suspect to be ending over information to the ukrainian army. but also what we're hearing, often very randomly people taking that taken from the streets. that's also what people have told us, where fled from the occupied territories that this has been happening. and then these people disappear often in these mass graves. it's not the same everywhere. depends also a lot on which russian army units are there. there are villages where people are

telling they didn't really get in touch with these russian occupy as they did were really harassed by them. but in other places it's pretty, pretty dark. thank you for that much. yes. matuse bullying and usually i take a look at some more stories up making news around the world. or north korea's 5 more ballistic missiles into the sea of japan. nazi having to, according to the south korean military, it's a 2nd launch in 2 days, united nations security council's been meeting in new york to consider further sanctions on paeonia. or i had found some people in indonesia have joined the vigil for victims of one of footballs. worse disasters more than a 100 fans were killed in a stampede at the stadium in the city of milan. present joker, we, dodo has ordered an inspection of all football grounds payments to the families at the deck ha or to iran, and there's no let up in antique government protests sweeping the country. the

unrest began when a 22 year old woman died while being held by the morality police for allegedly violating the countries. strict islamic dress code, masa. i mean the staff has drawn international condemnation. power o d 's university students in it on are chanting them in life and freedom. it's a slow context touching the hearts of many white including members of the european parliament. the hands of that redeem of them were 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. i guess your own citizens until the moment of your on awfully. we are going to stand with you. d. n via as id. when men lies freedom, friend star flag to get bare nash adults extending the support with death,

symbolic act. oh it on the clerical leadership, see its western enemies are behind the anti government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on supremely dead, ayatollah hominy. and the countries strict dress court, he just was the excuse of our enemies, to destroy our unity. the u. s. and 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 protests it on show no sign of letting up full weeks on this latest video posted online, appears to show female students heckling a member of finance. both it's forced that much feared better. military organization is blamed for the violent crack down on the demonstrations

the death of my son. many has clearly exposed the fault lines that exist in that slumber country, and there aren't willingness to brutally crush any opposition that challenges. it's power. i'm on 40 leaders from around europe or in prague for the 1st meeting of a new european political community. and this is an, a new initiative that brings together new leaders with countries beyond the blocks borders, including britain, turkey, and ukraine, switzerland and norway. and it takes place as you're a battles, an energy crisis, and economic turmoil has been, wasn't by russia's war and you cry. we'll hear from a correspondent in prague. and just a moment to 1st this on this new political format. this is where the european union's leaders assemble when they meet in brussels. the 27 seats at this table represent more than 450000000 people in the europe. it's a club at some neighboring countries on the continent have been waiting decades to

join. but the requirements to qualify for e u membership makes the process both long and slow minis. cami sir. so when francis president emmanuel crohn introduced the idea of the european political community, there were immediate concerns from some that it was somehow a 2nd tier substitute for him to e u membership. us from belinda. let's bring europe together in a very, on the basis of us geography. so on the basis of democratic values, with a desire to preserve the unity of our continent, you know. and we also want to preserve the strength and on vision or integration, because little joining wouldn't mean in the future. i couldn't join the european union foster mom. and it also wouldn't be limited to refill to those who have left the european union. so can keep this said bill, near the new european political community or e p. c will be made up of $44.00 countries. these include the 27

e u member states. countries who don't want to be in the u like norway and switzerland. those that do and the one that recently left, oh, you've got to hand it to the used leadership for getting an ar sep, from everybody that they invited to join the european political community. but there is still the feeling that the purpose of the format is far from clear. and with so many nations gathered at the table, some of them friends and some of them froze. the skeptics are doubtful about what the e p c can accomplish and whether it will be anything more than just a nother talk shop. this is about diplomacy in a different route. this is about making sure we keep our neighbors and our enemies close and making sure we speak to them on a regular basis. and people will genuinely feel. is it possible to have a conversation of this nature with that kind of difference? and that kind of difference, a difference in ideology. and i think the only good thing about this is, is making sure we keep diplomatic channels open the ear council president,

char michelle, will leave the discussions at the 1st european political community meeting in prague. there won't be a formal declaration issued after the summit, but should this 1st one go down? well, the aim would be for the leaders together once or twice a year. as john deed of loser, brussels bureau chief, alexandra farnham, and who is in prague for that meeting. welcome, alexandra. so help us understanding help us understand what this european political community is. it e u lights, or a u x x l. well, none of the above at the status, what european officials have been telling us and that they are at pain to point out that the you is just facilitating this event that that is not a you driven process. and it's more about leaders coming together to discuss common interest and issues that matter to them. but of course you can ask who i do need an

upper platform like that. we already have structures like that. for instance, the organization for corporate, for security and cooperation in europe. and this is quite a risky thing to hold an event like that because you risk alleviating some states. for instance, those in the western balkans who have been waiting for decades to joined the european union and they fear now that this event, this community could be a consolation prize for then of course, as mentioned in the report that are other countries, they don't have any aspirations to join the union, the u. k. left the european union and they are also very cautious. they do not like this title, european community. and still we have to say that the fact that more than 40 leaders will be here today. it's very telling, it's showing that there is

a huge interest in such a platform. so given all those question marks under huge interests, what does this to they summit actually hoped to achieve? well, actually, the goal here is to have this event in the 1st place. as one, a diplomat put it, it, sir, to about bringing leaders on equal footing to foster a political dialogue. and of course, when we see what sir, challenges at the continent is facing, it is important. there is a war raging in ukraine award that has an impact on every, almost every aspect of our lives. so the fact that despite lady me put in sir, an attempt to exploit divisions on the continent, the fact that we have all that leaders here today. it is a very, as symbolic gesture,

alexandra phenomena in prague. thank you. and women in afghanistan are refusing to be silenced despite mounting repression and aggression from the ruling taliban when girls can no longer go to school or attend university. and the taliban has also failed to protect women and minority groups from lethal attacks by other millicent groups. last friday, an attack on a private education center in cobble killed at least 35 people. according to the un . most of the victims were girls and young women. dozens of young women standing up for their right to be better protected and to have an education taliban officials wheeled sticks to break up the crowd. bengal fires heard, and the women scramble in panic. the protests were in response to a bomb attack on a private education center. in kabul,

a suicide bomber blew himself up in the women's section of the gender segregated hall, where students were preparing for university entrance exams. most of the victims were girls and young women who belong to the minority has our community 19 year old. why here was in the classroom when the attack happened. 2 of her friends and the teacher were killed. she managed to escape. she says she won't be intimidated. mortalities get that. the only thing we have is education. education is our weapon and they want to take this weapon from us. i am, i want to study law and management and diplomacy. because i want to be an influential politician ability. that's it because like why here. oh melbourne in also had big ambitions. now her photos in her school books are all her

family have left of her pleasure in that my daughter used to joke with me and say, and i will study until one day i become president or a lawyer and served the people of afghanistan that they're foreigners but she was martyred, done with his napkin. oh my vanity was one of the young women killed in the attack . her family prey at her grave. and her sister vows that she won't give up. hello kenny, we're really worried. it is hard for us. all the schools are closed for girls that are by she her, that it is you that this is very painful. but we will continue with the lessons and we will never give up or stop and on settling we didn't, i'd only been on the go up of even brutal attacks like this one haven't crushed the resolve of young african women to keep up their fight for an education well, i shall koran is a former afghan youth representative to the you and who now lives and studies here

in berlin. a welcome to the w. how difficult is it for girls to access secondary education in afghanistan to the us with speech? and it's been more than a year that girls are banned from attending secondary school in afghanistan. and now women are restricted from their society. they are confined to their homes and they're killed in their classrooms as it just report it. and i am gonna sung is the only country on this policy that the government, the but also the international community and, and, and the humanity. um, as we have seen, that girls were allowed to go to university of the day or the conference that happened in past few months. and but that means girls would not be able to continue education because again,

your schools are closed for them. and despite all these restrictions, girls continue, you're going to alternative an alternative m. o places where they could access education such as the centers that was on the last to let me just interrupt barbara because i'd like to understand how that happens so that the taliban. so there will be no girl, secondary education, but it still allowed privately, is it i did leave a lot of girls and a lot of my classmates and a lot of em women that i know they have opened their homes for secondary school students to attend classes and formally, but this is something that happens underground that happens secretly and nobody exactly knows the vacation. some of them are happening under the guise of much as, as mature considered to be religious schools for girls or for

kids, but induced schools. they are also teaching modern education, which is also a form of resistance to what the parliament restricting. and so would you say i'm val movements if i called about it is widespread. i'm wondering how out of step with general afghan opinion or the taliban. ah. when it comes to women's education goes education, toners hard removed from the realities of scanners such they are not familiar with the new face of this country. and now they are seen into fees by seeing all that is ambitious girls coming out of their homes and protesting in afghanistan street sh. and let me remind you that for a girl was cool girl to come out of her home and to protest in the streets of an innocent, it takes mountains of courage. and it's not just them. it's also the signage

resistance and protests of their families behind these printed sch and it's, it's much deeper than what you can see in the images and videos. and this shows that theories at national concert says for girls education, there's an national conferences and, and, and the port even if it might not be seen and in the protest that should be expected to happen from mann in afghanistan. and who has, who have done today together with women of afghanistan. but there is a national conferences and taliban are now facing this new reality. and the so thank you so much for joining us. i sure koran from african youth representative to the with i one of the most successful film franchises
