ah ah ah ah, this is d w. news ally from berlin, turkey holds the 1st funeral for victims of a deadly mine explosion in the north turkeys president regime i, you've heard a one says 41. people died in the blatt's. ah

and welcome to the viewers around the world. i'm michael ok. turkey's president regime tie it ur to one says $41.00. people have been killed in an explosion inside a coal mine in the northern province of barton authorities, ended rescue operations. after the last missing pershing was confirmed, dead, an investigation has been ordered to determine the cause of the explosion. smoke rises from the depths of the earth at day off day. a deadly explosion tore through this coal mine the fire still smoldering under ground. it is one of the worst mining accidents and turkey in recent years. president richard ty, up ad on visited the site on saturday all night anxious relatives had waited here, hoping to learn of the fate of their loved ones. often the news wasn't good.

oh, okay. i won't put all of the 110 mine as now accounted for exhausted. rescue teams half ceased looking for survivors. isn't. wasn't hustled admittedly, but we saw a horrible scene. it cannot be described. it's very sad. it was there. all my friends, friends, i eat and drink with at the weekend and they all had dreams. i guess it was it. they all had families in the sun where mary looked somewhat single, the so of age one had hopes, love, and a mission that was one in front of a morgue. relatives grieved for the victims authority say the explosion was caused when methane gas ignited about 300 meters for no ground around half of the minus on shift where working at that depth or below they so little chance of making it out

alive. earlier i asked al, corresponded in turkey julio han, whether she's hearing president irwin hit the right tone for those in grief during his visit to the mine. well, that's for the family, sir, to decide president edwin expressed his condolences. c promised an investigation and financial support to the relatives of those miners who lost their lives. he said, a rescue teams had raced against time to get to the workers. but the death toll has climbed considerably since last evening when the blast happened. some 300 to 350 meters deep inside the mine. and now the last person that was still unaccounted for was also found dead according to add one that brings the death toll to at least $41.00 people. several miners were injured and are hospitalized. i

think the true extent of this tragedy is still unfolding, but for sure it is one of the a deadliest industrial accidents here in turkey. in years. really more details will emerge from this single incident, an investigation about the cause of the blast as been launched, any updates or for while president edwin promised a thorough investigation, he wrote to hold those responsible accountable. he also load to do more to prevent mining disasters from happening, but he also said that particular mine had passed all necessary inspections. now officials have not yet drawn a definite or definitive conclusion. the energy minister here in turkey yesterday, after an initial assessment said that the block was likely caused by a fire dump,

a so called fire them. that's a flammable a gas found in coal mines. but for sure, people will continue to ask questions. how could it come to this could have been prevented, because this is not the 1st mining disaster here in turkey. some painful memories are coming back for many people here in the country. particularly about one incident in 2014, in the town of soma. where more than 300 people were killed in a mine disaster like this in an explosion, dw corresponded julia han in turkey. many thanks. the 1st russian troops have been arriving in bel routes as part of what's being described as a regional military group. but there are fears at the new joint force could be deployed across the border in ukraine. ah, the defense ministry has released these images of russian soldiers being greeted

with music and food. fell a russian leader, alexander lucas franco has insisted. the reinforcements are needed as part of a response to the heightened terror threat along the countries borders. for more analysis i'm joined by barry, pavel, he's a vice president of the ran national security research division in washington d. c. barre, pavel, a joint, russian bell, russian force. how if at all, does it change the face of this war? well, i think it's, it's hard to say from what i understand the bell rouge and dollars does not intend to send its forces. i'm not sure if they did, if they would be any more capable than horses had been they might be for the bell, but not, you know, i think they would end up in a similar situation which is being pushed back. so the only worry really is

what russian courses try to start a northern front, another front potentially, but they already have their hands full. and you know, this is pure speculation on my part. i don't think i can do it all and they're just, they're, you know, the hooton's trying with all he can to keep some of the gains in the east in the south. so i just, i think best guess it's a guess. this is probably for show the worst case is they try something from the north to go after the supply lines for nato weapons and supplies that are help supporting ukrainian forces. but i think the russians already have their hands full, you know, in the territory that they, they prize more than anything else. of vladimir putin said there will be no more massive strikes on ukraine. what do you make of that statement?

not quite clear. i mean, those are purely for terror. there's no military value from what i can tell unless they were going after, you know, railroad railway nodes, which i didn't see happening in the horrific missile attacks last week. so this might just be, you know, i've now retaliated, feels good psychologically to retaliate for the destruction of the bridge to crimea, which was important for russian resupply and corrupt for resupply and the russian courses. so i think it's just, you know, he's moving on to other things and it's also domestic politics. he was getting a lot of criticism from the right, from military hawks to respond. and so i think, you know, with several days of just wanting killing of civilians and hitting building i think he's now saying ok to his critics domestically see, i think i've done what you've asked. and now we can focus on what they need to

focus on, which is trying to stop the ukranian counter offensive in the east, in the south the russian president, not just directing statements to the west. and also mention that the partial mobilization will be finished in 2 weeks. i'm curious. what effect if any, will this have on the ground? well, i don't think it'll have any effect whatsoever. i just feel terrible for poor russian citizens. you know, older man, younger conscripts, you know, not getting much training and being thrown into a meat grinder in ukraine. and we've already seen some reports of that. you know, hooton's army is on the run and on the defensive in most of the you know, areas where the fighting has been intense. in some cases, forces units have literally disintegrated and run. and they are putting up

significant defenses in a few areas. but i just worry that you know, new poorly trained conscript. they're not going to make things any better. for putin, they're just going to be more cannon fodder. right? that is barry pablo, vice president of the ran national security research division in washington dc. many thanks for your perspective. my pleasure. other stories making headlines around the world at this hour. iranian activists have launched an online appeal, calling for fresh nationwide protests against the clerical leadership. the death of a young woman arrested by the so called morality felice has set off the biggest protests in years. a rights group based in oslo says more than a 100 people have been killed in the demonstrations. so you case, new finance minister has warned of tax hikes in his 1st speech since taking off at seeing jeremy haunt also said mistakes were made by his predecessor who was fire
