the 21st on d w ah ah, this is deed of the news live from berlin. despite the current onslaught vladimir putin says russia does not want to destroy ukraine. put in claims, there is no need for more massive air strikes, but towns and cities across ukraine remain under attack. residents save nowhere left to hide. at least 25 miners are killed in an explosion in turkey. rescuers now faced the task of saving dozens more trapped underground,

and an oil protest takes on an oil painting activist throw soup at a work by van gogh to express their outrage at a fossil fuel project. we'll ask whether that's likely to help or hurt their cause . ah, i'm told me or let it go. welcome to the program president vladimir putin says russia does not want to destroy you crane. but he and that he had no immediate plans to continue. the massive air strikes carried out earlier this week and he added that the ongoing mobilization of reservists will be complete. in 2 weeks. moscow has launched a campaign of high intensity strikes on towns and cities for the past 5 days, leaving many ukrainians helpless. modest jackson, my desperation, separate easier faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks,

the clean up will be massive news my just to let you know what i can tell you. we will look, we got used to the missile strikes 1st to the only thing she said, we are told to hide, hide with you. we don't have any place to hide nearby, but while you can't hide in the cellar, you've got it because you be trapped by debris and no one will find you to regard for. so we go outside and we wait until it's over. this fresh missile strike and support easy as part of a continued barrage. but russian president vladimir putin says the high intensity attacks in ukrainian cities will not continue. you might see that there is no need for massive strikes, at least for now. he just will see from there no of them didn't. a brute put in also declared his massive mobilization of russian troops is almost complete. but that will do this work or go mobilization is coming to an end already,

no risk. as of now 222000 of the mobilized already joining the armed forces of the 300000. i believe that within 2 weeks, about 2 weeks from your mobilization activities will be completed with the machine . in recent days, ukraine has free taken much of the russian occupied have san reach and falling, those land gains. russia is now arching civilians to leif have son who fear the presence of a large number of civilians makes it difficult for the military to maneuver. and most likely, shall we say it's dangerous for life. living key affairs, the call for the civilian avocation in the region could precede an escalation in russian attacks. earlier i spoke with washington based security analyst, joseph, serene fione, and i asked him what he made of president putin statement that there was no need. now for more massive strikes in ukraine is proven trying to pretend that he's

accomplished his objectives. when in fact, he's like almost everything else he's done in this war. he has achieved the opposite of what he has intended. he didn't achieve any military objectives with this strikes. as you reported, the ukrainian forces are advancing in the north and in the south. they may soon liberate here, shon, that's why the russians are retreating from that major city. his tactic is to try to terrorize ukrainian people and there was a yes it is terrifying to be under these attacks, but he hasn't broken the will of ukrainians to resist. if anything, they're more determined. here's the real reason he's ending those strikes. he's running out of precision guided munitions. you have to understand how strange this strategy is. he's using very expensive, highly precise, medium range weapons to put pot holes in playgrounds to hit electric power plant by some western estimate. he has exhausted 70 percent of those weapons are ready. he

doesn't have enough weapons to continue these strikes. that's why he's stopping. what about with a troop mobilization that's going on? he's is still having a more is service join and he says that should be complete in 2 weeks. what do you think this means for the conflict? well, again, of a positive spin, he controls the media space in russia and he understands. he has a major problem with this mobilization by some estimates, 2 or 3 times. as many russian men have fled the country, then have been pressed into service at the front lines. we believe that the accurate estimate is correct about 200000 conscripted. about $16000.00 of those are in the front lines, and you are already seeing casualties, including a story of a poor 26 year old who worked for the mayor of moscow who was just sent to the front 10 days ago and was killed in battle yesterday. poorly trained, poorly armed so far this mobilization again is not achieving is military objectives . and of course, as a threat of russia deploying nuclear weapons and this will,

which continues to worry. many people, but french president emanuel crohn recently said that if that were to happen, france would not respond with nuclear weapons. what do you think of this approach? yeah, i agree with mar crohn's statement for several reasons. number one, if prudent is insane enough to cross this line, to use a nuclear weapon, you do not want to compound the error. you do not want to use nuclear weapons in response and make it acceptable, make it normal to use nuclear weapons in conventional combat. we're better than that, and here's the other part. we don't need to do it. the west has many more options to respond to even a nuclear attack of i vladimir putin with non nuclear means. we have conventional weapons in great numbers that are highly precise, great intelligence to spot the targets. we could destroy much of the you could, you, russian army in ukraine would conventional means alone. plus we have major economic

diplomatic cyber psychological responses that we could put to put in that the truth is we just don't need to have a nuclear response. the president of france is correct. not security analysts, jo, syringe, jani. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you for having me on at least 25 people have been killed in an explosion inside a coal mine in northern turkey rescue teams from neighboring provinces have been dispatched to the area, hoping to save dozens who remain trapped below ground. covered in mart and confused. this man just escaped disaster. he and many others were lucky to find their way out of the coal mine on their own. i couldn't see anything. it was all covered in dust and smoke. i don't know what happened. i just couldn't see anything. there were more than 100 people inside the mine at the time of the

blast. almost half of them more than 300 meters underground. doesn't remain trapped and rescue teams are working around the clock to get them out. cuz me gotcha. blood was, some areas are partly to lapse to. we believe the blast was caused by explosive gases is odd lamazzo. people rush to the mind for news of relatives, friends and colleagues. president ad on is expected to visit the site on saturday about this is not turkey's 1st mind disaster. the countries deadliest happened in 2014 when 301 people died in a fire inside a coal mine in the western town of soma. my time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. anti

government demonstrations in iran have entered their 5th week. the death of a young woman held by the so called morality police, a set of the biggest protests and years, security forces have failed to stop thousands taking to the streets. 2 brothers have admitted to the 2017 car bomb murder of maltese anti corruption journalist daphne, to run our deletes. yes, the pair were sent as to 40 years in prison after unexpectedly changing their please to guilty. on the 1st day of their trial, the killing swaths international outcry and mass protests that eventually forced the prime minister to resign climate protesters of thrown so over vincent, bongos masterpiece, some flaws activists to face the work at london national gallery to protest against you. k government investment in fossil fuel projects, police arrested to people for trespassing and criminal damage.

and to discuss that story further, dw reporter, hannah homo joins me now in studio. hi, hannah, i tell us more about this incident. yes, so like you just said there were these 2 activists from just up oil who threw a can of what appeared to be tomato soup all over vincent mangan sunflowers, and whilst at the same time shouting into the crowd. and are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or about the protection of the planet and its people? and am, is worth mentioning that the painting itself wasn't actually damaged. it was covered in glass. the frame had some slight damage, but it's already back on display ad, but a spokesperson from just up oil said that nature as ours. biggest news and without nature, we wouldn't have these pieces of art. so i guess that explains a little bit of the reasoning behind this pretty radical act of activism. well,

yeah, i mean they've definitely grabbed attention butter. are they winning over people to their cause? i think, yeah, unfortunately, told me no, i think the general reaction has actually been pretty negative. it seems to have anger. it's quite a lot of people, perhaps alienated some people from the cause. i think for a lot of people, it's probably quite difficult to understand the link between the climate crisis and damaging really historic works of art. yeah, and i think, you know, when you look at other tactics, lake road blocking sit down protests, their blocks traffic. even though it of course infuriates drivers, i think people are more able to understand the length there. i mean, cars require fuel and just up oil wants to eradicate fuel production and development in this case. so that makes more sense. and also in terms of government response, this hasn't actually elicit it any kind of policy change. i mean, the u. k. government is still going ahead with it. and new policies for north sea

oil. and these radical acts of protest seem to be a growing trend. we've seen with organizations like green peace movements like extinction, rebellion, but in this particular case, why we're targeting odds specifically? yeah, you're right, definitely been an emerging trend within claim activism, but it is pretty much just just stop oil who is engaging in this am. yeah. attacking old pieces of art, i mean, it's not the 1st thing that happens. and they were also the ones behind recent instance like activists glueing themselves to paintings, lake leonardo da vinci's last supper already. there was a reuben's piece and munich that the same thing happened. an am, it's because just up oil has asked the artwork all to stand with their climate cause they think that the art will, it should be doing more even though a lot of art galleries have actually stopped receiving sponsorships from companies like b, p, and shell. just an oil says that that's not enough,

but i think more than that, it's also just extremely performative. like it grabs the attention of people. it keeps the conversation going, whether it's positive or negative. honestly, it doesn't even seem to matter. it's just that it's the topic on everyone's lips and i guess that's what they want and then we are talking about it exactly right. i will have to leave it there. dw reporter handle hobble. thank you for this update. remaining in buquet, british prime minister list process, a sacked her finance minister and scrapped planned tax cuts trust is aiming to com . financial markets, worried by the government's economic plans. another political earthquake shaking london not even 50 days in office and prime minister list trust has already sacked him most important loyalist finance minister quasi quoting. i've acted decisively to day because my priority is ensuring all countries,

economic stability. as prime minister, i will always act in the national interest. this is always my 1st consideration. many see quieting as escape goods. both he and trust wanted to radically low a taxes to boost the economy. i'm not going to talk the additional rate of tax today, mister speaker, i'm going to a polish it altogether. they didn't say he would pay for that financial markets panicked. mortgage rates shot up and pension funds voted. when journalists asked her why she didn't resign, trust repeated the same refrain. what i to felicity, do you have? what i have done today is made sure the we have economic stability in this country. form a foreign minister, jeremy hunt now takes over britain's finances. trust says she will scrap some of

the plans, tax cuts. this is unlikely to reassure her conservative party. she herself might be pushed out next. coming up next. why ill on mosque says he can't fund the ukrainian military satellite communication system forever. that's in dw business with benfor sewland. i'm told me all logical for myself as a team. many things are with people and trucks injured when trying to free the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away as the border families played on the tax in syria to these credit owners. we learned this trade people fleeing extreme ground around 200 people around the world.

more than 300 new.
