a extension hold ticks to between 1st on w ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is the of the news live from berlin despite the current onslaught rushes president says he doesn't want to destroy ukraine lab report and says there's no need for more massive airstrikes, but towns and cities across ukraine remain under attack,

and residents say they have nowhere to hide. and 2 brothers in malta plead guilty to the 2017 murder of a journalist there. they were each centers to 40 years in jail for the car bombing, which killed daphne corona, valencia. what of malta? as most prominent anti corruption journalists, as day breaks and turkey families of coal miners gather at the scene of an underground explosion, hoping to find loved ones alive. these 2 dozen miners have died. rescue worse are fighting to save those still trapped. ah, i'm when will crop walk into the program? missiles have been raining down on ukraine for days, but russian president vladimir putin says he doesn't wish to destroy ukraine. and he has no immediate plans to keep up with widespread airstrikes. moscow has launched a barrage of attacks on towns and cities for the past 5 days,

leaving many ukrainians wondering where can they turn for safety? modest jackson, my desperation separate asia faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks, the clean up will be massive. moves by the storm. you know, what i can tell you previously 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 he can't hide in the cellar regarded because you be trapped by debris and no one will find you to regard 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 my seat and there is no need for

massive strikes at least for now he just will see from there no of them didn't put in also declared his massive mobilization of russian troops is almost complete, moved away without able to 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 in all mobilization activities in will be completed by the ocean. 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 leaf hat, 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. did have your correspond funny for shars in keith,

i asked her earlier if ukrainians believed putin's claim about not wanting to destroy their country. no. ah blanche put read no, because even though this comes across as much softer in tell him up put in says there. if you talk to people here on the ground, but 1st of all, many don't he want to direct to react to those statements by not giving him the attention by analyzing what he says, because this is how much they despise him. but on the other, a hand here it comes across is quite cynical to many people here in the light of the fact that chest a couple of days ago, monday people were killed here on the way to work and keep city in that massive s right across the country, so clearly people are angry and they're asking themselves wind road isn't even necessary to strike in 1st place beat on monday or beat from the beginning of this war. why is it necessary to invade ukraine? this is from the a more human emotional perspective to say so, but if you look at it from a more military perspective and talk to military experts, they're going to point out you something else. that in fact,

the statements kind of imply that maybe rushes actually running out of ammunition running out of weapons with conventional weapons. for example, are certain types of missiles, meaning that they have under him and appear to have under estimated ukraine of from the 1st place on. so the different ways to look at these statements, what i personally felt quite interesting here is when pooty said that quote, it's impossible to hold the frond without a making sure that he ramps up at the military of forces. oh, with that pasha mobilization, of course we have seen that didn't really seem to have worked so far, but he vowed that this is going to come together within the couple of next weeks and ukraine's present of learners. lansky certainly would align with that perspective about the kremlin problems. he said the kremlin comments were further proof that russia is losing the war. let's have a quick listen to what he had to say in his latest video address. parachia. chevy

musk. russia is already in the atmosphere of its defeat. he was in a mood of hopelessness for itself. the yields. yes. well, they still have people to carry out their attacks. if they have weapons that they use against ukraine. little to agree that they still have the opportunity to terrorize our cities and all your opinions to blackmail the world. see, but they don't stand a chance because ukraine is advancing them, but they don't stand a chance. funny. how do zalinski comments match with battlefield developments? in particular, if you look at her son region, and house a city that was occupied by russia forces from early on this city, this is basically the most important one of the most important targets fo ukrainian forces right now to significantly advance in the cells. but already, according to ukrainian information about plots, 70 settlements or so have been liberated in the south in house, in region on the weight, trying to set

a foot again in house of city. but if you look on the other side of the map, more towards the eastern part of ukraine than don't bust region, in particular, the in particular don't yet screech. and there of course, a with this strategic capture at liberation, a rather of lemon in early september, early october, october 1st. these of a strategic places that are important, of course, for ukraine, a to push russian forces back. and given those numbers that about 600 settlements, where liberated by ukrainian forces, at least according to ukrainian information in the past couple of weeks, clearly signals to president zalinski that it, it's not just that the ukrainian force are doing something right. but actually those weapons that are i from the west have an effect on the a food a progress year. and obviously as a result, he keeps requesting those weapons. but also obviously he keeps requesting air defense because he just pointed out, recently he apparently only has, or ukraine only has about 10 percent of the means with regard to our defense,

to defend the air here and to protect the people in ukraine. so that's not a lot. and as a result, of course, even though ukraine is advancing on various parts in the south and east, at the key, pointing out that they will need more weapons and more defensive stance to actually win this war. that's it. and of course, my funny fashion there and keep with the latest thanks very much. 2 brothers have been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the 2017 carbon murder of multi journalist daphne corona. galaxy. the pair unexpectedly changed their please to guilty on the 1st day of their trial or killers aimed to put an end to her reporting on corruption in the country. journalist daphne caruana, galle tia 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 keller's now face 40 years in prison. the 2 brothers were sentence on the 1st day of their trial after pleading guilty is finally some closure for her loved ones. there's no reason does it should have taken too long. 5 years. it's so long. 5 years is falcon gone. and book. i mean, we're happy adopt the the homicide squad remains united. the us any general remains united every one kind of fluids together to make sure that this happens to 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 at something she wrote in her blog hours before she was killed . let's talk about this now with nicole milan. she's a journalist at malta to day nicole. welcome to the program. pleading guilty on the 1st day of the trial. this may be, was a surprise to some why did they plead guilty? ultimately? that's a good question. i don't think it any of any one here can actually fully understand why it took them so long. why it took them to get to like the 1st day of the child to actually plead guilty. this was quite an anomaly. it's never happened before in the montes, judicial history, basically, usually for context, they managed to get a plea by again, so to speak, with the prosecution. usually something like this only happens before the jury is stage of every comes about. so yeah, the fact that that happened on the 1st day is way, is a race strange and exceptional case. it's never happened before. and it took so long for that plea to change to guilty. it also took

a long time for this trial to happen at all. why did it take 5 years to bring these suspects to trial? toys of it is definitely down to systemic issues in the monkeys judicial system to begin with. i mean, what does justice of them is known for very long and painful courts? delays, especially when come to the criminal court and stuff like this. so that's partly to do. it is also a very big factor in this case was, you know, there were efforts to sort of delay the jordy child as much as possible. i think even i just this week alone, making a few days running up to that. i am one of the brothers went on a hunger strike for example, to sort of try and stop the proceedings from happening. they opened very like several constitutional cases. so it's a mix of the 2. i think most of it is down to just the systemic issues. of court delays, long compilations of evidence and stuff like that. and you know,

far better than we do that the murder of philadelphia was sparked, huge outrage in the country. what's changed since then for journalists like her journalists, like you to be able to do their work? i mean, indefinitely. it's her murder has been a dike shadow, especially for journalists who are now a pretty thing i think, ever since 2017 operating and it's working environments where it's like, how safe am i ready so that that's like the main thing. and i think just as florida to call on alyssa was definitely be, you know, making sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions. whether they had directly or indirectly in helping them or day be carried out. but also hiding the my day after it was, are like the culprits after the murder that happened. but then also for journalists will definitely be to make sure that's journalists can finally be able to feel that they can operate in this environment and work on investigative stories without feeling like their life is

a danger. basically making sure that they are offered the proper protection when needed. eating. nicole, my look, their journalist at malta today. thanks review and for your work. thank you very much. and turning out some other stories, making news around the world. running activists have launched online appeal, calling for fresh nationwide protests against the clerical leadership. the death of a young woman arrested by the so called morality police has set off the biggest protests in years. a rights group, based in our slow says, more than 100 people have been killed in the demonstrations. at least 28 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. the teams are hoping to save an estimated 15 miners who are still trapped under ground. oh, covered in march and confused. this man just escaped disaster. he and many others
