a leader of the democracy movement in bella ross. since the mid 19 eighties, he was detained following anti government protests in 2020, and remains in jail without trial. the committee called for the 60 year olds, immediate release. ukraine center for civil liberties has been active for more than a decade following russia's invasion of ukraine. the group has worked tirelessly to document war crimes against civilians. the memorial india has its roots and the soviet union in russia continued to track human rights abuses and the fate of political prisoners thought it was dissolved late last year. as part of the kremlin ever tightening crackdown on descent. the nobel committee says the prize was not a direct message to the russian president, every 50 for most though one, it's another stinging rebuke for the repressive regime of vladimir putin, which also happens to fall on his 70th birthday. now the w. a
2:04 pm
correspondent nick connelly joins us now from keith and on the line from bon is dw, russia analyst, roman, gone to ranko. nicholas start with you. the only individual who was warded is the human rights advocate alice julia ascii, who is in a burwin prison or prison right now, could you tell us more about him? i think his biography really stands for the history of modern beller is. this is someone who started off as a dissident in his student years in the 1980s, while the student union still existed, who has been in, out of, in and out of prison. routinely since bella roost gained independence in the early ninety's. and it was organization does not, is crucial to helping families, helping loved ones find out where they're at their, their closest relatives and friends are of you arresting. bruce happened without much warning without any proper procedure. and as of see it been a lot of harassment of jealous, but also of any one signing up for their civil rights down the decades. and that
2:05 pm
subsea was selling bought into real shop focus in 2020. when you get those mass protest, bellows, hundreds of thousands people's people going out, protest and lots people just disappearing for days on end. so an organization like his, it's not really crucial there. he's been in jail since 2021. and this is of see a very clear signal from the price committee that belarus is not forgotten for all the stuff going on in russia and ukraine. this is still very much on the agenda role. let's talk about the russian organization memorial and why do they deserve this prize? well, it is no surprise, no good. the prize now because they were nominated many times. it is the mason, the most famous animal, renowned russian from the rights organization. founded in the eighty's and a child of perestroika if you wish, or the time when russia was soviet union at the time was open, open for democracy and at the core of its activity was studying the dark times of the soviet union and assert, as the great terabyte the saga dictators talon and in that respect, it is also
2:06 pm
a signal to concurrent, a rush presently in reporting, who adores starlen, attended, trying to implement some of studied methods current, russia, and also in this war in ukraine against the ukraine. and that is why it is a very symbolic decision both and go price community to show that it is important to remember the crimes of the past. it is important to prevent them in the future. and now in these days they go back to you are, can you tell us more about the a 3rd recipient? the are ukranian human rights organizations center for civil liberties please. i think it wouldn't let me it. they wouldn't be offended if i said that this is certainly normalization that is a lot less prominent in ukraine than both alice bell at scanned his bisnel organization and memorial are in their respective countries. yes, this is a notion that has been operating for years now. has been looking to kind of check,
2:07 pm
keep a check on what the government and the government's digital or organs are doing most recently since the most recent phase of this russian aggression, it's ukraine. it's been documenting war crimes against civilians in russia by ukraine. something that has to be done quickly and falling on the standards if those are bits of evidence are going to be used in potential crimes prosecutions. but certainly ukraine is not a country that has the same issues with freedom of speech and with judicial kind of abuses. as bruce and russia do, i think this is really about the optics at a time where russia is attacking ukraine weight. bruce is being used by russia to attack ukraine, that the nobel prize committee wants to include a ukrainian organization in that 3 kind of group that, that can triple group of winners around the light of what nick just said there. does this mean that the noble committee is kind of taking aim and away at vladimir putin on his birthday? i think it's a, it's a side effect. it's not the number one,
2:08 pm
a move in all the conference committee to, to give a sign, a to blame. important on his birthday, but it is important that all 3 countries are represented are just and said russia is waging war against ukraine using bella rosen territory. and it was important. ready also to, to take you crying and talked to mom, give this a what also tra, ukrainian organization or human rights organization. i think what the core of this is, and it is, it is a, it is a message to have logic support in that abuse war will be over some day. and the crimes that are committed now will be investigated by these organizations and others of course. but this is the stand out and this is, this is what they are talent time will come. i think this is one of the messages of this or of these day the time will come when the crimes will be investigated. and it is very important to have independent organizations like the us, not in barrels alike memorial and in russia, all like the center for civil liberties in ukraine. they are working now as we
2:09 pm
speak to collect very important data, which will later started at the court. made up his rot analysts, roman gone shore rancor there, and our corresponded nick connelly reporting from keith. thank you both very much. you as president joe biden says, the risk of nuclear quote. armageddon is at its highest since the cuban missile crisis of the 19 sixty's biden. warned that russian leda vladimir putin is not joking. when he talks about he was in nuclear weapons following the losses on the battlefield in ukraine. meanwhile, ukrainian authorities say the death toll from russia's missile attack on the southern city of appalachia has risen to 11. the strike destroyed an apartment building there on thursday and came as russian forces lost more ground to ukraine's counter offensive in the countries south and east. gutted by russian
2:10 pm
rockets here ins apparition rescue workers searched the rebel from missing residence off the initial dorn attack fire fighters. headed to the scene, but a 2nd salvo, st. locals running for cover. as well as rescue workers. present zalinski condemned the strikes was a but easier beast, especially that original after the 1st rocket strike to day when people came to pick apart the rebel. what russia conducted a 2nd rocket strike, a deal of do an absolute vileness absolute evil. up. and there have been thousands of instances of this already, and there could be thousands more. unfortunately, he shan't, miserable. mortal bold locals were left reeling through them. why aren't you doing this to us? what are they trying to prove? killing repeated. why, for what?
2:11 pm
the attacks come, as ukraine continues to force russian troops back in the south and east with these ukrainian troops and the don bass telling french reporters that they were using shells captured from the russians with winter. fast approaching, keep seems determined to press its current advantage, as long as it can. oh, for days now ukrainian troops have been making gains in areas illegally annexed by russia. but the counter offensive also comes at a terrible cost. thousands of soldiers have died and there was a constant stream of casualties on both sides. the w correspondent, but he has berlin was given access to the front lines near mc, alive by the ukrainian army. he filed this report. thought these positions are well 45 ukrainian soldiers
2:12 pm
have withstood several months of shelling in these trenches. the lines haven't moved to most of that time. the recently things started shifting up ahead. they've started to attack russian positions more aggressively. by year pong of mob in some directions, we have been able to move forward. even right now, an attack is going on, not us. we try to put them under constant pressuring, so it will go our way. the way this of several loved him don't. because we do work to prove, let me show you where i guys live. the soldiers stay for several months. the army doesn't have enough personnel to retake them in and out. more often. this group is getting ready for the cold season. whoever employed you are kelly. as you move forward in winter, we will have to heat all of the space it will be in his own by then. let's hope so for god's sake. 2 days ago
2:13 pm
a shell hit just above their beds. look, thankfully, the roof is so well built in golden, get through hostile nipple blue. further behind the lines, ambulance is way through injured georges to evacuate into hospitals. we told that 3 ukrainians were heard by storming a russian position. frontline, paramedics had them over to an ambulance that shuttles between the war zone and the hospital. ah, oh grain, you know, authorities have admitted to roughly 10000 dead soldiers as well below estimates of russian losses. but neither side are releasing precise or credible number. this time none of the injuries seem to be severe. for this school year.
2:14 pm
the counter attack is costing ukrainian blood, the paramedics say they've become busier recently or bishop, but on nick a matter, the number of injured is higher during the attack because our guys move forward to the positions of the russian villains. and then it's easy for the russians to hit them because they know their positions well and can show them in a book into some it was it's in at the right. the paramedics returned to their waiting position. they don't know when the next trip to the hospital will be. they know it will come. but he has bullying reporting then eulley. those are in prague debating measures to tackle europe's energy crisis, with the possible cap on gas prices on the table. tensions remain over how best to deal with a soaring cost of energy or increasing calls for
2:15 pm
a unified you response. but the block is far from agreement. member states need to stop our bidding each other. we need to stop the pri, speculation. we have done this before, during the covert, pandemic when we came together and found common solutions. no differences were made between countries. no matter their size. i think we can do it. we should be able to do it. that's what citizens want from us. certainly these you who energy will dominate through this console, we have to decrease the prices of energy. but it is an economic issue as much as our security issue at we are expecting a press conference with you leaders shortly, which we will bring to you live. he understood it out in the past. the time until that happens is our chief political correspond. linda crane and standing by at the you summit in prague is our brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena. as i was start with you, or we just heard a barrel saying, and sorry,
2:16 pm
energy prices and how to tackle them. that's the main issue facing that you there in prague. should we expect a solution today? while the answer is simple, no, we don't expect any solution to day any decisions. this is an informal meeting of the you leader. so the issue is definitely at the top of the agenda there are going to, or actually at the moment they are discussing the energy crisis, they are arguing presumably there, we'll try to find a way to agree on a kind of fo direction they would like to go, then they will delegate the details to the ministers of energy. and i think it's more realistic to expect her decision here. maybe in 2 weeks, melinda, that there has been a lot of talk about a tap on, on gas prices. how will that alleviate the situation?
2:17 pm
well, if it's well designed, it would certainly remove some of the pressure down on you citizens and companies that are facing soaring bills, both for electric power and for home heating. and that clearly has also meant pressure on governments. people are very, very worried. many of us, it feels like our power and gas companies are writing to us practically every week now with price increases. so it would theoretically helped to bring the price of gas down and there by those prices. however, there are 2 risks here. one is that if it is not well designed, it could decrease incentives for people to save energy and for companies to save energy. and that's crucial. energy efficiency is the low hanging fruit for reducing dependence on russian gas. secondly, it could send a signal to gas suppliers that they should just sip ship their gas elsewhere where
2:18 pm
they can get more money for their sales. and that's something that has many e u member states concerned. so any gas price cap, we'll have to find the right balance between the advantages and those potential risks. a selena just said it's about the balance on who is for and who's against the gas price cap right now. well friends, italy, belgium, greece, more than i think 15 states are in favor of having such a price cat because they are saying, hey, listen, we are as the block, the 2nd biggest economy in the world. if we say that we are buying gas until an up to a certain limit, certain price a, we will get to supplies. there is no need to worry about that. and this decision, they say, would send a strong signal to the markets and to the consumers at home. but of course,
2:19 pm
there are those risks that melinda just to describe. and i think that deluxe yon prime minister occurrence summarized it in a very interesting and rightful way. he said that having a price cab would be grand, but with the caveat that that is not going to endanger the security of supplies now. oh, this comes as germany is planning an energy 8 package worth up to 200000000000 euros. and melinda, this plan has drawn some criticism. why indeed it has it? germany essentially pre empted today's discussions, germany, once again, one has to say, yeah, this is certainly not the 1st time chose to go it alone with a massive package of potential a. it is not clear exactly when and how that it will be dispersed. but clearly this was a gesture toward germany, citizens and the chancellor has played it up big in the media that they are not
2:20 pm
alone, that the government will help them. and it's also a message to germany's companies. we have already seen some small and medium and a scale enterprises in germany saying they can't pay their energy bills. they're going to have to shut down. that is very troubling for this industrial power house economy, germany, and therefore, the, the key aim of this package is also to preserve jobs. and that is the problem for many other e u. member states. this is europe's biggest economy. it has a lot of fire power to wield when it suddenly starts subsidizing its firms and its citizens when it comes to their energy bills. it's essentially a distorting the e u internal market, which is supposed to be a level playing field. it is essentially giving state aid to german companies and therefore the you anti trust authority has already been said, it's going to be looking into this plan. and a number of e u member states have pushed back saying, no, we need
2:21 pm
a joint solution. this should not be a unilateral moved by germany. it's certainly a wakeup call for the you. a total of his wake up for a call. i'm alex saundra. what believe i just described is that the only criticism that the measures have drawn from you members? well, i think it is the main criticism here we heard from the polish prime minister, for instance. moreover, etzky, who was very outspoken about that, accusing germany a alpha not showing any solidarity with those member states who do not have that amount of money to help their accompanies and consumers to tackle this energy crisis. others are indeed saying that to measure such as those introduced by germany could to distort disorder to the markets, could have negative impact on their level playing field. and, and some of them are also accusing germany of being too arrogant,
2:22 pm
pointing to the fact that the death germany, that was her in their perspective, the way germany was also behaving, doing their coroner violence. corona virus pandemic. so there is a lot of criticism here. germany and german government is facing however, my impression he was that the german counsellor, chancellor of shots was not very impressed by that because germany is of course saying this is a huge amount of money that we are ready to. and to spend here 200000000000 euros. however, we are talking here about 3 years and we are talking here about measures that sir have already been decided upon. so altogether, $200000000000.00 euros are bad, said that is a money that we are going to spend over the course of 3 years. thank you very much for the moment. alex on la, phenomenal in prague and melinda crane here, the study will come back to you. of course, when the press conference or of the you leaders happens in
2:23 pm
a proc m o to thailand, a nation that is mourning the victims of it's worst ever mass killing a day after a former policeman killed at least 36 people at a childcare center. most were young children, the attacker had been discharged from the police over drug allegations. he later killed his family and himself, thailand's king, as to visit survivors, as flags across the country, flying half mast. ah, a stream of coffins arrive at the morgue. after a day of unimaginable terror, it was here at a rural daycare center that an ex police man killed at least 36 people. more than 20 of them children. one teacher describe what she saw.

2:25 pm
rampage by a single attacker. and earlier talk to journalist at jacob gold back, who joined it from the tie a capital bank hawk. i asked him whether the king's visit was more than just symbolic. i can't weigh in on whether it's more than just symbolic. but i can say that the members of the privy council representatives of the, of the monarchy have already visited earlier in the day and pledge to support the victims and the route and relatives of the victims and the survivors and to sponsor their fuels. the king queen are scheduled to arrive there in a couple hours. there's been some criticism of the red carpet that was rolled out over the crime scene, and people are asking whether that was appropriate before a thorough investigation could be completed. of what practical health ortiz now

providing to survive as a dependent so in addition to the support, the key when their representatives and offered officials have promised that the survivors and these of the victims will be well cared for. but we're still waiting for details. and there are also help mental health workers assigned to assist the relative to the victims. and we've heard the report that mass shootings are read and thailand. even though is a debate necessary, does the nation need to have a debate about guns? it seems like there is somewhat of a debate about guns happening. the attack has put a spotlight on a program that allows civil servants to get guns more easily than civilians. both yesterday, a shooter and an army soldier who killed 29 people in another mass shooting in 2020, both on the guns legally for their 10000000 gun estimate. and 10000000 guns in
2:27 pm
thailand. and there's a lot of gun homicide, though, really in the form of a mass shooting. and over the last few years when there has been a mass shooting, it's usually involved a member of the security forces. jealous, jacob, go back there. thank you very much. and now let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines. us president joe biden has pardon thousands of people convicted under federal law of possessing marianna. he did not call for a full d criminalization of cannabis, but said no one should be in jail just for using the drug. people convicted under state laws are not affected by this executive action, which comes about a month ahead of mid term elections. when by the democrats may lose control of congress. the united nations is calling for a humanitarian corridor to allow the distribution of fuel from hades main terminal
2:28 pm
and port of france, where an outbreak of cholera and surgeon gang violence have raised international concern. prime minister earlier ali used a speech to the nation to call for international assistance. flooding has killed at least 3 people in the indonesian capital jakarta. the students died when a school war collapsed. major roads have been closed and several neighborhoods evacuated waters in some areas are more than a meter the united nations. as human may global warming will displace nearly 150000000 people across asia in the coming decades for communities on the northern coast of indonesia as central java region. that's already a reality. rising seas of destroyed crops and rose and resulted in villages being frequently flooded. some people are being forced to abandon their homes and start new lives elsewhere. it's pointless but cassini try it anyway. sweeping the
