spacing to use its influence to end the war in ukraine. and also expand economic ties. plus twitters new owner, billionaire ilan mosque slashes jobs and a bit to make the platform more profitable. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program. russian president vladimir putin has urged civilians to lead the city of hare san as ukrainian troops advanced in the area. the statement is the latest indication that russia's military may be planning to withdraw from the occupied ukrainian city. it may not look like it, but this river could soon be on the front line. here russian soldiers are assisting residents from the occupied ukrainian city of her son. crossing from the right bank of the denise pro, to the left. according to troops here,

around 1200 vehicles and 5000 civilians are being transported every day. and its suggested that they may be about to do the same a signal, perhaps that moscow is ready to give up ground in this war was his law. yeah, that was what i think potentially the russian army is ready for another act of goodwill. regarding the left bank of denise pro, just inferior of the city of hassan. but for this they will still have to take losses due to the response of our armed forces in moscow, no official word yet on the withdrawal of troops to the left bank. instead, president putin seemed to be enjoying festivities to mark russia's unity day, a national holiday to celebrate a popular uprising against polish and lithuanian forces in $1612.00. this year the

focus was also on the annexation of ukrainian territories. with some young volunteers, given an audience with mister putin, where he explains why people are being told to leave her son ah, to finish with her for those living in her son, she be removed from his own with a most dangerous military actions are taking place. for civilian population should not suffer from shelling from the offensive counter offensives or any of the actions connected to be ongoing military operations. director, him love, liberating her son, city would be a major victory for keith. these ukrainian soldiers digging in for the winter and nearby mc alive know they may be told to head that way soon. but there's a feeling here that any offensive will be complicated, and they will need more supplies and weapons if any assault is to succeed. o d, w is nick connelly is in keys and has more on putin's appeal to move civilians out

of care song. but i think for some time now, it seemed to kind of clear that had its own, which does basically the 1st made ukraine city. but russia captured in this war back here with the basic, within the 1st week is very, very vulnerable. it's on the western bank of the pro river. it's kind of little kind of bridge head of russian control surrounded by ukrainian forces on all sides in the river on the other will the supply lines are very vulnerable bridges. the kind of pontoon bridge is getting supplies into the russian soldiers. there is very, very difficult, and ukraine has been doing its best to make that even more difficult as for how fast is going to go. now there were white stroke reports and social media day of russian soldiers based dispute disappearing off the streets. checkpoints disappearing. russian flags coming down. but is also real worry here and ukraine to that might be a trick to kind of russian provocation to get the ukranian troops moving in and then to launch counter attack there, they definitely are still confident. there are lots of very well trained and well supplied. russian troops ins difference on. so since that we could see some really

ugly battles, may be st. fighting the weeks come before ukraine fully returns control of the city of foreign ministers from the g. 7 group of nations have pledged to keep supporting ukraine through the coming winter. at talks in germany, german foreign minister and alina burbock, also criticized iran's crackdown and protests, and called for action on the climate crisis. but roger's invasion of ukraine remained on top of the agenda. it's elan yet and talked is we're counting every day of this router war of aggression and that russia is waging against ukraine is i, every single day is one day to many sock every single day means a brutal attack on innocent people in ukraine in there and it means suffering with dead light and destruction on such rules. meanwhile, german chancellor, olaf shoulds has asked china to use it, influence on russia to stop the war in ukraine. while i've sholtes made the request during a one day trip to beijing,

where he met with the chinese present as using ping and premier leer care chung. he also made a case for stronger business ties, or critics at home say, germany's over dependence on its trade with china is risky and unusual reception in unusual times because of china, strict sera code policy term, and chancellor, all of sholtes had to get tested before leaving the plane curve it protocols also set the tone at his meeting with chinese leaders. she no handshake, no welcoming texture. during the talks, both leaders said far apart from each other, symbolic not to the divergence of their political positions. all of shells said he wanted to discuss threatening economic ties, but also address differences. c, however, proposed skipping over the differences, urging for what he called a more pragmatic course. after meeting with china's premier li catch young, all of shall said, shabby president users. i told presidency that it is important for china to use its influence on russia. it's about being in line with the principles of the united

nations charter, which we have all agreed upon. china so far hasn't distance itself from russia and even benefits from the western sanctions on moscow. lee, however, took on the role of peacemaker from those sheila, the 2 sides. hope that this crisis can be ended as soon as possible. the situation can be east and it really can not be escalated. and our starting point is to promote peace talks. she, i'm sure she's china's human rights record was on the agenda in as far as all of shawl said, that he addressed the situation of the suppressed weaker minority on his look of some other stories making headlines around the world. germany wants to strengthen security around as defense ministry offices, that's according to local media reports. the german defense ministry and armed forces sites have reportedly seen exp, we have been experiencing overhead drone flights. recently, a drone with

a wingspan of 8 meters was seen flying over the defense ministry offices in bond pakistan's, former prime minister iran con, says he was aware of a plot to kill him a day before the gun attack on his protest. march con is current. he recovering and hospital off to being shot, a wounded in his leg. his support to say the attack was an attempted assassination and are protesting in cities around the country. protest is android police have clashed in the northern iranian city of rushed. amateur footed shows crowds charging the police, forcing them to retreat and regroup. nationwide anti government protests erupted in iran following the death of a young woman in police custody 7 weeks ago. now torture employees are sewing the company in a class action lawsuit of a mass lay offs, new owner. but in felina aid on moscow told employees that they would be notified

about terminations via email. twitter offices are closed for the day and badge access also removed. while there has been no official announcement, specifying the number of layoffs, u. s. media reports say half off twitches, workforce is being let go. well, let's get more now with a go and kalak. he is a, an associate professor of strategic management at the castle university in canada. it's good to have you with us, your and d. w. news. what's your reaction to the news that twitter is now playing off? many of it stuff. so this is not entirely unsurprising. twitter has never been very efficient. so give me one step to kind of stands out. so snapshot has 50 percent more users and twitter, but twitter has 50 percent more employees. so our per employee basis twitter has never been very efficient. so even before muster cough there was some expectation that there could be mass layoffs with water. and how do you see twitter operating

now, since we are seeing these mass less so it's quite possible there wouldn't be a lot of mosque is trying to do is kind of play to his strengths. so he has never really bought a company like this before. he has started new companies, tesla space, x, the rolling whole list of companies, where's been able to bring in his own culture and you kind of see this now with twitter words bring in friends and top executive positions. and he's laying off people and bringing even employees like software developer, some tesla. so we could be seeing a cultural change to a twitter, and that could be what he's planning. now, what about the state of the company financially? because mosque has said, twitter experienced the drop in revenue since he took over and he's blaming this on . activists. pressurising advertises advertises. what are your thoughts on that? yes, i think mosque might be exaggerating there a little bit. so advertisers are understandably nervous about the change that's

going to happen, the, they care about the brand safety and, and just to be clear, unlike instagram, which is all about inspiration, twitter is about information. so twitter was never an ideal platform for advertising. and this is why it's, it's, it's a slightly more risky than instagram. so advertisers are definitely at this point taking their time and, and see what's going to happen. so this is, this is, i think what's making mask very nervous. right. and looking at the bigger picture, what direction do you see twitter heading in under mosque? does he have a viable strategy? yeah that's, that's a very good point. so musk is a trial and error type of type of person. so when he managers and other businesses, it's very much like running an entrepreneurial firm. he sets out these masters master plans, but nobody's really certain whether he can or does follow them. he often set expectations which, which he can't meet, which is on understandable. this is how we achieve says high level of innovation. so nobody really knows is going to happen with twitter. this is why the advertisers

leaving. in fact, if it's not certain that mosque himself knows what's happening with twitter, there's many direct to go to the company, but i'm not even sure he knows this point, what's gonna happen. and just very quickly looking at the short term, how do you see these latest nerves affecting how content is being moderated? for example, we had the u. s. meetings coming up in the next few days. so i think in the short term there will be no change in how content is moderated on twitter. there's already so many things happening at twitter that are increasing risk for the company, like you said, advertises leaving. i think he's gonna try to minimize this risk by making no other big waves. karen kalak, thank you very much indeed, fair insights. thank you. now to the buddhist legal where union berlin have dominated top spot in the table for 6 weeks in a row. now the cloud that was only promoted to the top flight 3 years ago and now possible title contenders. but it's something they'd rather not talk about. oh,

anything is possible if you're on your own berlin. that includes scoring a goal in the last minute of a match to grab the form 3 points as seen here last sunday, against bush yemen, shi black. bah. but damn mentioned the bonus, he got title, and the players are quick to where should off, nodded. i though, so as far away for maybe a this afternoon from game to game. oh, really good for to people doing this and i guy, those are something suitable perhaps noon is just trying to keep it real. they know exactly what they good at. and that's where the focus goes, like paying on home turf, where they have yet to lose again this term. and they've shown that they can keep up with the big dies, beating light take endorsement, as well as holding by and to a point. but that wouldn't be the full story. the defense is another factor on your own. have only conceded 9 goals in 12 games. the fewest in the league. yes.

even less than by an munich. and in attack, they have the surprise of the season, shiranda becker, exceeding all expectations with 6 goals and 3 assists so far. then again, you shouldn't be surprised at all because coach was fish are, is known for making play. it's better on it's the fisher effect. but even he dismissed any title, talk dollars group. it's a great feeling. last we let the fans celebrate on it and they're allowed to sing alberta for all much for us. it's just a snapshot in time. all, it's great. all the we're going not houses are not gotten east sir, give on, and some might argue that sink straight matches on top of the bananas league table is more than that. and perhaps an indicator of what's to come now to something that will make our colleagues around the world shudder. our reporter on a live broadcast was interrupted by an animal visitor chili's vision. nicholas crew

was on air when a parrot perched on his shoulder. after his moment in the spotlight, the bird took off with a souvenir. i don't care what the parrot wanted with his headphones, but the credit goes to nicholas for carrying on with his report. looked like a pro, the indoor gone. it i'll will not offend vilegas, acted billy while i own it, watching the dove in his life from berlin up next is the w business with my colleague rop. what's all season a by o people and trucks injured was trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border families waiting period for the correct on its way located demonstrate.
