armine shouted demonstrate as gathered on the road leading to the prison. ali carmine, these la make republic supreme leader is a target of some demonstrate as they seem as the figure behind a deadly crackdowns on descent in the country. so far, the government's response as and little to stop protest like these or earlier i spoke to mcmurry amid mcadam haste, the director of an india cold iran human rights. i started by asking him about the inmates, families and their reactions to last night's events. a we had been in contact with her with some families and did is some of them have received a cause or information and many haven't heard anything about the their family members were in prison and they are very concerned. and in short, what are you hearing? what does the family say they are hearing from the people inside? what?

well, basically what you have heard is that already actually, there are some indications that the incident yesterday was premeditated, that the authorities in the previous days employed patient force is inside prisoners. and that there have been gunshot, the prison guards have been shooting at prisoners. they also thrown and tear gas in inside the wards. and so unfortunately, the story that the iranian t v and authority doesn't fit what we hear from the families. and just to one of the line that point you've heard nothing that matches with the official story that this was a fight between inmates that started in the sewing workshop. absolutely not. as i

said, there are indications that the thirty's might upset the ground for a crock. down and it might have been premeditated. the running government was also quick to rule out any link between the ration recent nationwide protests and this prison incident. do you think we are brought in any way to frame this incident alongside everything else that's happened in iran in the last month? did. there is no doubt that was happening and about how conduct as in prison is park top. what's going on inside in, in the streets of the country. as you know, many people are being transferred to have been prison both to, from their homes in human rights, defenders, political activities and also from the streets. and i've been present at, you know, we had a singular episode in another present in norden, iran and also at prison 2 weeks ago incurred to stand. so it seems that prisoners

in line with people on the street to have joined to protest and a crack down his or so sit here inside the prison as it is outside. that was mock mode. amity mac had am the director of the iran human rights angio speaking to me earlier to you cry now. and president vladimir lensky says, fighting around the eastern ukrainian city of buckled has intensified pro russian forces had previously announced they are moving closer to the city and making gains . but soleski says it is still held by ukrainians. exhausted residents are without electricity or water. and many say the desperate for the fighting to it on the road into the city of back moot. there are constant reminders that the front line is just a few kilometers away. inside the city, russian missiles repeatedly ran down to know if the news of my sister

is under this rubble go quick as ever. no one comes to clean it up. your nobody is up with them. everyone is afraid because of this, right, jessica? was there not a missile hit the neighbors place? nichoela, the father was killed by shrapnel though of the day, then the house was head tucked on and it burned down, but doesn't hurry unless belinda. buck mooch sits at a strategic point in the door nets, grades, and of the dumbass. ukraine has been making significant territorial gains in the countries east in recent wakes, but russian backed forces say they're moving closer to the city. lucy, discuss it. very difficult situation persists. internet's and lance, regions to most difficult to seem a buck direction, but we hold our positions. residents say they don't have electricity, gas, all water venturing outside for supplies is dangerous. some residents say they're angry at both sides and just want the fighting to end. and i mean,

we don't need one of the other. we don't need war. looks like we just want to live at home. that dormer, we do ukrainian, and russian troops doggin across the region. the people still in back moot can do little, but hope to survive another day of the war. now, earlier i spoke to frank lade, which is a senior lecturer in strategy and law at the university of portsmouth and a former military intelligence officer with russia climbing against near the town of back mode. i asked why it's forces are able to apply pressure there while losing territory in other parts of the crime. they lost $300.00 village is also the recent khaki of a fancier van. the ukrainian forces, of course, are approaching curse on in the west master bath moat. as the report indicated, the russians had been grinding away the kilometer here, 500 meters there for the last 3 months. it is an important junction. however, in the region, it's probably right to say that the russian ship a bit more wary of defending crime,

nina and the approaches to mr. chanst about in us which ukraine is lost some time ago, trying to take bounce back moon. when does suspect, though, that there is an eternal russian political aspect to this, the main units approaching back moot are set to be mercenary units from the so called wagner company. and it, that there's some evidence that, that company is seeking to dominate in that region. russian military operations boat term. it's not here nor there. they've been pushing away now for 3 months now continue to do so. frank washington post is reporting that iran is set to ship ballistic missiles and indeed drones to russia. how could this effect the war if true? yes, it is very interesting. this. first of all, it shows the russians are running out or have run out of certain elements of their armory, perhaps short range, ballistic missiles, the new year. any iranian weapons are quite effective. they're fairly long range is

30700 kilometers, carry reasonable warheads. but of course are designed for use against israel by hello, and data radian forces. and i think that sort of medium term. so this might be that israel certainly science today that israel is starting to take the view that if iran is weighing on the russian side, it's incumbent on the way to do so on the ukrainian side. if they do that to be a significant boon for ukrainian, our defense is particularly if they are israel is got stuck in with some assistance . they're very good news, new ukraine. but for now, what it says is, the russians are running out of missiles, simple as that. lots to look at from the international perspective here. frank, including the chinese foreign ministry, urging it citizens to leave you crime. what can we read into that? if anything, i'm not too sure we can read too much into it. the british gave a similar instruction a few months ago. the last such instruction of the u. s,

which still stands in august. so in other words, if you're you are sitting in your advice to leave, and indeed ukraine is too dangerous. and i think a chinese simply falling into line. now, i don't think there's any evidence that chinese know something we don't it standard diplomatic practice as far as i'm aware, franklin, which senior electra in strategy and law at the university of portsmouth. thanks so much for your time. will not during authority say the death toll from extreme flooding during this is rainy season has risen to more than 600. the floods have submerged tens of thousands of homes and displaced more than 2000000 people. un officials say it's the worst flooding to hit nigeria in at least a decade. forecast as a warning of more heavy rains in the coming weeks. okay,

we're going to have to move on. i. we are hoping to speak to a law suit in nigeria, but it looks like we haven't got that line up although perhaps we can work. okay, we are able to join a wasa address in a boucher and am i hoping to get the lightest on these floods? iwatsu, can you hear me? i believe these floods are already of epic proportions. what's the latest information you can tell us? well the latest information about the flood disaster in nigeria is an increase which we have in the county in just less than a week from 500 people that died because of dis flawed. to now $630.00. and from 1400000 people,

we now have over 2000000 people that way affected by this disaster. and their ravage in flood is ongoing. now, especially in the south east, according to the authorities in boucher who was flooding is a, an annual challenge in nigeria. to some degree, what is my this year so difficult and why perhaps hasn't the government or why has the government struggled to mitigate the effects of when it is so different from what happened even if we can see that last in the last time nigeria witnessed this devastation like this was in 2012 when 360 people were killed by the disaster. this time around were having over 600 which doubles the number. it is difficult for government to contend it because it claimed that it allotted communities that are living in the river banks of the by been

a nyja, but people link down on settlement to dances, truck home the find it difficult to leave or rather if i'll quit but the government has a blimp to carry. yeah, because it is the company responsibility to if i quit people from where it is dangerous to safety, it wasn't more rain is focused. but what about the other flow on a fixed here? what will this mean in terms of say, food security and possible outbreaks of water bonuses where the 50 seconds left? that is a very good question and is a challenge fast in nigeria, even before the flood nigeria is predicted to fis foot security, thousands and thousands of farm land swell swept how we saw it affected production presently. and then whenever you have a disaster like flawed, the post flawed is more challenging, you're going to have a look of it, p demick,

cholera, malaria, and so many insect will manifest. but the government is advising families to invest mo, on dry season because most of their heave us are now of are flooded. so after duck a lot, that will be what had to go into the dry season. it wasn't the address in boucher many, many thanks. i that's it for this al, you're up to date sports law is coming up next after a short breakfast i with with my going to have it ended go listening place of morning.
