ah, you pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w ah, this is d, w. 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. the towns and cities across ukraine remain under attack and residency. they have no air left to heart. at least 25

minors are killed in an explosion in turkey rescue. as 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 vanguard, 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 a lot about welcome to the program president vladimir putin says russia does not want to destroy green, and that he had no immediate plans to continue. the massive airstrikes carried out earlier this week. 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 days,

leaving many ukrainians helpless. modest jackson more desperation. separate asia faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks, the cleanup will be massive. moves my just to let you know what i can tell you rerouted we got used to the missile strikes 1st to the only thing she said we are told to hide hide when we don't have any place to hide nearby. but while he can't hide in the cellar with it because you'll be trapped by debris and no one will find you to record for. so we go outside and we wait until the saga. 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 in my seat and there is no need for massive strikes, at least for now he just will see from there, nor come reasonably put in also declared his massive mobilization of russian troops

is almost complete. moving away with her, i will do this work or go. mobilization is coming to an end already. no voice 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 in will be completed with the machine in race and days, ukraine has free taken much of the russian occupied have san reachin 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 they call for the civilian avocation in the region could precede an escalation in russian attacks. already i spoke with washington based security analyst, joseph syringe yoni and asked him what he made of president putin statement that

there was no need now for more massive strikes in ukraine. here's prudence 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 by 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 analyst joe 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 good. you blood were some areas are partly to lapse to. we believe the blast was caused by explosive gases, easy problem. as soon people rushed 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. time not to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. british prime minister list for us as appointed jeremy hunt, as a new finance minister and scrapped planned tax cuts. hunt replaces quasi quite tang who's been fired after just 6 weeks on the job. trusted the moves were intended to reassure financial markets after the government earlier tax plans triggered turmoil, anti government demonstrations in iran have entered that 1st week. the death of a young woman held by the so called morality police, the set of the biggest protests in years. security forces have failed to stop thousands taking to the streets. climate protesters have thrown, sued over vincent vanguard, masterpiece sunflowers activist, defaced the work at london's national gallery to protest against you. k government

investment in fossil fuel projects, the lease arrested to people for trespassing and criminal damage mom. and to discuss that story further, dw reporter, hannah home all joins me now. amy 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 is art biggest muse. 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. 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 angers 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. and i think, you know, when you look at other tactics, lake road blocking, sit down protests that blocks traffic, even though it of course infuriates drivers. i think people are more able to understand the length there. i mean, the car's require fuel and just stop oil wants to eradicate fuel production and development in the okay, 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 this and new policies for north sea oil zone. and these radical arcs of protest seem to be a growing trend we've seen with organizations like green piece movements like extinction rebellion. but in this particular case, why we're targeting odd specifically. yeah, you're right, it's 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 pain things. 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 art 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. and i have to leave it there. did of the reporter hannah hovel, thank you for this. update. to brothers have been centers to 40 years in prison for the 2017 carbon murder of maltese journalist, daphne corona. jalencia. the pair unexpectedly changed their please to guilty on the 1st day of the trial. a killers aim to put an end to a reporting on corruption, but her death had the opposite effect. journalist daphne caruana, galatea was a fierce critic of malta as politically leet. her investigations exposed corruption,

but her voice was silenced. she was killed in a car bomb attack near her house nearly 5 years ago. her killers now face 40 years in prison. the 2 brothers were sentence on the 1st day of their trial after pleading guilty. as finally some closure for her loved ones. there's no reason does it should have taken too long 5 years, so long. 5 years is falcon and box. i mean we're happy off to the the homicide squad remains united. the us, any general remains united every one kind of fluids together to make sure that this happens. the journalists murder was condemned world wide and lead to massive protests in malta. accusations that the prime minister, joseph muscat,

was shielding witnesses from the investigation into her death, led him to resign and 2020 protesters saying there are crooks everywhere. you look something she wrote in her blog hours before she was killed. coming up next mall from the ukranian army. his advances in the southern house on region in wild stories. i'm told me all laddie, both myself and the team. thanks for watching. ah ah ah ah ah, i think everything jenny.
