a deadly explosion tore through this coal mine, the fire still smoldering under ground. it is one of the worst mining accidents in turkey in recent years. president reggie tie 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, good. with all of the $110.00 mine is now accounted for exhausted. rescue teams have ceased looking for survivors. isn't blood hustled? admittedly, but we saw a horrible scene. it cannot be described. it's very sad for me, but they're 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. if you listen were married, look somewhere single, listen, look, age one had hopes of blood and a mission that was one in front of a morgue. relatives grieved for the victims. authorities say the explosion was caused when methane gas ignited about 300 meters below 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 l. corresponded in turkey, you'll johan, whether she's hearing present in her to one, 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 road 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 damp, a so called fire them. that so 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 ballers as part of what's being described as a regional military group. but there are fears that the new joint force could be deployed across the border in ukraine. the defense ministry has released these images of russian soldiers being greeted with music and food. television liter. alexander, look a shank o has insisted. the reinforcements are needed as part of a response to the heightened terror threat along the countries borders. for more analysis i spoke to barry pavel, the vice president of the ran national security research division in washington. i asked him if a joint russian bell russian force could change the face of this war. well,

i think it's, it's hard to say, from what i understand the bellows. the bellows does not intend to send its forces . i'm not sure if they did, if they would be any more capable than forces have been they might be per 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, trying with all he can to keep some of the games in the east in the south. so i just, i think, best guess and 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, for we to find 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 and people who 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 will have any effect whatsoever. i just feel terrible for, you know, 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 intent. 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 now 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 rescued by the so called morality police has set off the biggest
